Inquisitor's Melancholy

"Hehehe..., if you eat this, Master Seimei will definitely think that I am the most beautiful."

Smiling Qing Jiang hid behind a tree, and looked vigilantly at the gorgeous female ghost in red and blue kimono in front of her. In front of her was a petite human girl with a cute face.Combining with the sentence just heard, Qing Jiang frowned with a smile, could it be that this female ghost wants to eat people?

The dark blue bangs spread out, revealing the single blood-like eyes, smiling Qing Jiang drew out his sword, and took a step out, "Let go of that girl, or I'll cut it off."

"Who? Human? The breath doesn't look like..."

Hearing the voice of Smiling Qingjiang, Hongye turned her head, holding a bunch of fruits in her hands, and the human girl also looked at Smiling Qingjiang suspiciously, showing no signs of panic in her behavior.

Is he mistaken?The "eat" just mentioned means to eat the fruit?Smiling Qing Jiang still held his sword, but his expression softened, and he asked further: "Are you a ghost? Why are you with humans?"

"Me? Hehehe, I am the ghost girl Hongye, and I am also a member of Seimei-sama..." Speaking of her own identity, Hongye was very proud. She put down the fruit she was full of, raised her sleeves, and walked around gracefully on the spot. Bringing a few maple leaves makes her even more charming and enchanting.

As for Hongye, she wanted to announce to the whole world that she belonged to Seimei-sama, but before she could finish speaking, Kagura interrupted her with displeasure, "Shikigami, Seimei's shikigami. Hongye, Seimei will be angry if she finds out that you introduced yourself in that way again."

It was obviously a very flat and soft voice, but it made Hongye tremble all over, and laughed stiffly twice, "What does it matter, Master Seimei is not here anyway."

Seimei-sama?Is it the great onmyoji who was famous in Kyoto in the Heian period, Abe Seimei?

By the way, could the mutation mentioned by the lord be related to Abe Seimei?If those guys in the Time Retrospective Army want to change history, Abe Seimei is indeed a good target.

"Can you take me to meet the 'Master Seimei' you call?"

Anyway, they have no clues now, so let's start the investigation from Abe Seimei's side.

On the way to Seimei Garden, Smiling Qingjiang learned that Kyoto is now facing the crisis of the resurrection of Yamata no Orochi. In order to protect the safety of Kyoto, Seimei led many shikigami to find the fragments of the Kusanagi sword, in order to seal Yamata no Orochi again. prepare for.

Such a situation cannot be underestimated, because the time retrograde army is likely to take advantage of this opportunity to make Seimei's plan to seal Yamata no Orochi fail.In this way, Kyoto will be destroyed.Not to mention changing history, I am afraid that even the era of the protagonist will be affected by it.

The news must be told to the lord.

After thinking about these things, Smiling Qingjiang followed Hongye and Kagura to Seimei's courtyard, and what shocked him was that all kinds of monsters appeared in front of him... Maybe this statement is wrong, because those The monsters have now become Seimei's shikigami, just like their Fusangshin, they have been given the name of a god.

Unlike the gloomy air outside the courtyard just now, this place is still peaceful.A banshee in a cherry red dress is dancing softly, there is also a silver-haired one-horned luthier playing music, and some little monsters are chasing and playing in the courtyard. Mian Qingjiang subtly had a similar feeling of returning to Honmaru.

Especially the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, the flourishing branches spread out, and the cherry blossoms swayed gracefully in the wind, which almost made him mistake Motomaru, which was said by Ubomaru to be the cherry blossom tree of Manyozakura.

"Mr. Ibaraki Doji, where's Seimei?"

It happened that Ibaraki Doji passed by, and Kagura grabbed one of his sleeves, tilting his head and asking.

"There is a crack in the underworld at Suzaku Gate. Seimei took Daitengu and the others to seal the escaped monster. What's wrong?"

Kagura has always been very attached to Seimei, so she asked herself about Seimei's whereabouts, and Ibaraki-douji was not surprised, but looking at the strange man behind Kagura, Ibaraki-douji still became vigilant and asked one more question.

"Actually, this big brother got separated from his companion. I want to ask Seimei if he can help find his companion." After explaining to Ibaraki Doji, Kagura comforted Qing Jiang with a smile: "Mr. , Qingming will definitely be back soon, don't worry."

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, I'll just wait for Qingming to come back."

Hastily waved his hands and said, a drop of cold sweat broke out on the side of Qingjiang's smiling face, he just found the reason at random, don't take it seriously.But it has been out for so long, other knives should be fine, right?It's urgent, or leave them some message.

"It's just miscellaneous things, Qingming will finish it soon, don't worry."

Ibaraki-douji didn't want to say more, he patted Kagura's shoulder lightly, then turned and walked away.For some reason, he always felt restless today, even the pain of his arm being cut off vaguely came to mind, and Qingming was not around, so he might as well go and drink with his best friend, maybe he could use this to change his mood.

Just like that, Smiling Aoie waited for Seimei in the courtyard, while on the other side, Yamabuchi Kunihiro and the others had already stayed in a hotel in the town.

The sun was setting, and the smiling Qing Jiang still hadn't returned, so everyone became a little worried, especially Yamabuki Kunihiro, although Yamabuki Kunihiro always said "Can I do it too?", "Anyway, I'm just an imitation That's all." and so on, but he was still very serious about being entrusted with the captain's task by the lord, and if something happened to Smiling Qingjiang, he would take the responsibility on himself.

"You guys wait here, I'll go out and look for the smiling face Qing Jiang." At last he couldn't wait any longer, and Yamabuki Kunihiro stood up first.

"Wait a minute, Your Highness Yamabukiri, it's too dangerous for you to go out alone, I'll go with you."

Xiaohumaru also stood up, seeing that Kiri Kunihiro was still hesitant, he continued: "With one more person, it will be easier to find His Highness Qing Jiang, isn't it?"

"Alright, Kokomaru will go with me. Higakiri, Hotaru, and the Five Tigers, you stay here. If you come across any clues about the time-traveling army, start an investigation first. The master's order is absolute, and you cannot Slack, as for this place, it will be used as a gathering place, after we find Qingjiang, we will definitely come back."

"Oh, oh, don't worry, you should also pay attention to safety."

Higekiri waved at Kunihiro Yamababagiri and Kokomaru who were going away, then crossed his hands behind his head, and lay down on the soft cushion behind him.

In this investigation mission in the Heian era, the lord arranged for him to join the battle, was it intentional or unintentional?Well, this kind of thing doesn't matter, after all, he has lived for a thousand years, and he understands that even Genji will wither one day.Everything in the past will fade away in a long time.

His eyes fell on the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window, yes, it was the same as this fading light.

Suddenly a black shadow entered Hikekiri's golden eyes, and he turned up abruptly, "Traveling back in time!"

"Huh? Where is it?"

As soon as he heard the time-traveling army, Hotaru quickly took the sword next to him and entered the combat state. He also looked out of the window following Hikakiri's line of sight. It really was a time-traveling army, one body, two bodies...there are quite a few It's just that the time-traveling army didn't seem to find Hotaru and the others, they just kept chasing in one direction.

"It's just at this time, Yingwan, the five tigers are retreating, let's go and have a look!"

"Yes,... yes!" Wu Hutui replied tremblingly, clenched the dagger in his hand.

"It finally appeared, and I won't let one go away." Unlike the Five Tigers, Yingwan has been looking forward to the time-traveling army for a long time. As I said before, I quickly resolved it, and then returned to the lord and Guojun. Bar.

Sansao caught up with the time-traveling army I saw before. Even though the opponent is also very powerful, the daily training of sword men is not a joke. repel.

And at this time, Hikakiri who was standing on the roof glanced at his feet, and when he found the familiar badge, a crack appeared on his elegant face, Genji...?

"Who is it?" Yugenji's onmyoji yelled when he spotted Higakiri and the others.

"Heh, I said who actually came here, it turned out to be you. Onikiri, welcome back."

The silver-haired onmyouji in hunting clothes came out of the house, looked up at Higakiri, with a wild smile, and a strong breath made Hotaru raise the knife instinctively, but was stopped by Higakiri, "That's Minamoto Raimitsu, Genji's best onmyoji is also my master."

"Hi...Higakiri-sama, but...our lord is waiting for us to go back in Honmaru."

Realizing that since the appearance of Minamoto Raikou, Higakiri is not the same as usual, Wu Hutui squeezed the corner of his clothes tightly, and only then mustered up the courage to say such a sentence.For some reason, looking at that person, he was filled with fear. Is this the former master of Mr. Mustache?Completely different from the main character.

In just one day, he already missed the lord very much.

I really want to go back.

……

Rezuru in Honmaru had just finished processing the paperwork sent by the Tokino government, and when he relaxed for a while, he felt even more tired. I wonder how Yamabuchi Kunihiro and the others are doing?Not long after he left, it was normal that there was no news, but he always felt restless.

"My lord, look at me, how about the new nails?"

Seeing that the usually calm examiner also became anxious, California Qingguang spoke after thinking for a while, and at the same time raised his hand to Li Xian, asking him to evaluate his nails.In fact, this is not new at all, it has always been the same as before, but the lord should not notice this, and he just wants to let the lord relax a little bit now.

"so cute."

Although he was anxious, Li Xian still wanted to try not to show it, so as not to worry other men with swords, so he only replied a little perfunctorily.

California Qingguang lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes, even though he was mentally prepared, the lord did not pay attention to him.There are more and more men with swords in Honmaru, my lord, I probably won't pamper him anymore.

"My lord, it seems that An Ding has returned from an expedition. You can accompany me to have a look. I don't know if you have brought any special products~"

He tried to pull Li Xian out to relax, but after California Qingguang finally came up with a reason, Li Xian's eyes suddenly froze. He looked at California Qingguang, and said with some difficulty, "Sorry, Qingguang, I'm afraid I can't accompany you." you go."

Mustache cut, there is danger.

Even the spiritual power of Yingwan and Wuhutai is weakening... Minamoto Raimitsu?

What did he do...Because the time interval was too far away, Li Xian couldn't sense any more information, he clenched his right hand tightly into a fist, "California Qingguang, I will go to the Heian era immediately, during my absence, Honmaru is your agent for the time being."

"My lord, did something happen to Yamabuchi and them? Can't you use your power to recall them directly?"

"My lord! My lord! It's not good, Mr. Hikakiri's bell on the Kagura bell fell off." Before Li Xian could answer, Hirano Fujishiro's panicked voice came from outside the door, and he just wanted to wipe it off. The dust on the Kagura bell, I really didn't expect the bell to fall off, and it couldn't be hung no matter what.Is it his fault?Too bad, the lord will definitely blame him, right?

"Qing Guang, do you understand now?"

The eyes, which were already like ink, were even more bottomless at this moment.When the bell fell, it proved that the master-servant contract between him and Hikakiri had been severed, so even if the swordsman could be recalled, Hikakiri could not be recalled.

Minamoto Raimitsu, I hope you don't do anything to my sword man.

The author has something to say:

In the next chapter, Li Xian will probably be handsome for three seconds... emmmmm
