Heiankyo love story

Jiang Xue wants to go to "Yiyiqiao" because Laijiu disagrees, because there are many Yiqiao bridges, and almost every legend reveals dangers, such as connecting the underworld, being entrenched by demons and ghosts, and hiding from the gods...everything related to these The "participants" who are related to the legend and the folktale basically end in "disappearance" or "death" in the story.

Minamoto Laijiu dutifully reminded softly: "Your Highness Xue Ji, a bridge is very dangerous."

Jiang Xue was quite disapproving, because she didn't believe that this bridge had anything to do with Naihe Bridge. If it was said that it could connect to Huangquan at night, she didn't see that Beijing was renamed "Fengdu City".However, no matter what, Minamoto Raiku issued a reminder out of loyalty, and she thanked him politely, so as not to chill people's hearts and reduce the degree of favorability.

Jiang Xue turned her head to Minamoto Laijiu with a smile and nodded, "Laijiu, don't worry..." She smiled like that, then looked at the onmyoji next to her, and said with a smile, "Master Makura is here, if it's true If there is any danger, Master Asakang should have a solution, right?"

Jiang Xue still said the first half of the sentence to Yuan Laijiu, and looked up at King Ma Cang Ye from behind, her eyes full of trust.

Ma Cangye Wang was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly and sighed.

"Of course, I will try my best to protect Her Highness Xue Ji... However, what Her Highness Xue Ji's retainers said is also reasonable. If Her Highness Xue Ji is alone in such a fierce place, she should avoid it."

"Well...I see."

Jiang Xue nodded obediently, and curled her lips silently when she lowered her head.

If it weren't for the fact that there are certain places that must be visited, who cares about going to various places with dangerous legends?Hey, a full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, and it doesn't hurt to stand and talk... Although it is kind, this kind of advice is useless.She also knows that going alone in some places is prone to accidents, but sometimes it is impossible to bring others with her. It's fine if it's just the Shura field. If there is a "good ship" incident, she doesn't want this kind of ending.

When she raised her head again, Jiang Xue had a pure smile on her face again, and asked curiously: "Speaking of fierce places, I heard that the direction of Jing's ghost gate is in the northeast...is it near here?"

King Ma Cang Ye nodded slightly, pointed to the northeast with his folding fan, and said softly: "Strictly speaking, this place already belongs to the 'northeast' of the entire capital, but the exact location of the ghost gate is in Abe's mansion...the peerless yin and yang that year... In order to guard the gate of ghosts, Mr. Abe Seimei built his own mansion at the gate of ghosts, and sealed the gate of ghosts with a five-element formation. As a result, the number of night walks of ghosts in Beijing has decreased a lot...but..."

Jiang Xue couldn't help being speechless, and let out a "hey".

King Ma Cang Ye looked at Jiang Xue, expressing doubts with his eyes.

Jiang Xue asked for advice with a heart of curiosity: "Master Ma Cang, you said that the night walks of the ghosts have been reduced a lot...but...now there are night walks every month, right? Then...there is no shortage...does it happen every three or five times? Come once in a day? Isn’t this too scary? Jing... can there be any living people?”

Jiang Xue still remembers how she was killed by Baigui Yexing last time—!

It's too miserable, okay?

It hurts!

Being gnawed to death by a hundred ghosts...

I have long said that there is a problem with this setting. Why not weaken the synchronization of pain sensations? It hurt so much on her side.

It’s okay when she doesn’t think about it, but as soon as she thinks about it, Jiang Xue feels pain all over her body again. The memory of that pain is so vivid that she shivered uncontrollably, and quickly threw away these memories in her mind.

——Isn't it because this way of dying is so painful that she made up her mind to stay with the ghost clan forever!

Ma Cangye Wang looked at Jiang Xue quietly for a while, his delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if he was remembering something, finally smiled and shook his head, and said gently: "It's not like that... Let's talk as we walk. There is a little distance, please let me know if His Highness Xue Ji finds it difficult."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not hold on. If I feel tired, I will definitely take the initiative to ask for a rest."

Jiang Xue nodded seriously, positively expressing that she would never pretend to be fine, and checked her physical strength by the way.

Oh, it's okay, after taking such a break, the time is full again.

Ma Cang Ye Wang took the initiative to lead the way, and Jiang Xue followed, walking side by side on the left side of Ma Cang Ye Wang.

Minamoto Laijiu silently followed behind Jiang Xue, holding the scabbard with his left hand.

"His Royal Highness Xue Ji knows the reason why Beijing was built...it's easy to say. Beijing is a city built according to the four gods. When the four gods guarded it, Beijing was once peaceful. However, when the four gods were taken away, Jing The 'Qi' of the city is in chaos... There are many ghosts and ghosts, and the horror brought by the ghost clan further aggravates the situation. The ghosts in Beijing are more and more easy to generate. When the ghosts gather to a certain number, they will go out at night... ...If no one is going to deal with it, the team of Hyakki Yakaku will grow stronger and stronger until it becomes the size and strength of 'they will take human life as soon as they meet'..."

King Ma Cang Ye looked in the direction of a bridge, but his thoughts flew back to the past.

He once felt the horror of ghosts all over the place very clearly. Even the weakest little ghosts, if they gather to a certain number, will bring terror to people—whether it is the person who drives them or the person who is hurt by them .

"Everyone in Beijing used to be in danger. After the sun went down, no one dared to go out, but even at home, they could still be killed by ghosts and monsters... Later, as Her Highness Xueji knew, Master Hongfa made a hundred years ago The talisman that sealed the divine power of the four gods, and with that power, Jing was at peace for a while, and the ghosts disappeared. However, when Master Kobo passed away, no one could use the four talismans, and Jing fell into a trap again. In the darkness, demons and ghosts run amok...Until more than 40 years ago, Master Abe Seimei guarded the gate of ghosts and guarded the capital, and the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk was also deterred by Master Abe Seimei's prestige and did not dare to act rashly...It's a pity..."

When Jiang Xue heard this, she vaguely understood the reason, and suddenly felt emotional.

No matter how amazing and brilliant the talent, the talent of the sky, after all, is no match for time.

"...Master Seimei will also age, and his talents will decline with time...So, the Hyakki Night Walk has begun to appear again..."

Jiang Xue sighed regretfully and uncomfortably.

"Sigh... I don't want to hear such things... A beauty with white hair, a hero who is dying... Can you leave a little more truly beautiful existence in this world..."

King Ma Cang Ye suddenly smiled and said: "His Highness Xue Ji hopes that the youth will last forever and live forever?"

Jiang Xue was still feeling uncomfortable, but when she heard this, she pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Not really... I'm not afraid of growing old or dying..."

Jiang Xue pursed her lips, trying to recall the appropriate poems and dictionaries, but all the words that popped up immediately were "a famous general from ancient times is like a beauty, who will never let the world see a gray head", "a beauty who breaks her favor before she is old, and sits alone in a smoked cage until dawn" If there are poems, she will not force herself, and speak directly according to her train of thought.

"If it's 'one general succeeds in ten thousand bones', I'm not sad. The battle of Changping killed 40 people, and I only applaud Wu Anjun... However, when I was studying, I saw that Lian Po was depressed when he was old. In the end, I can’t help feeling sorry. The general returned as he died on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather, instead of growing old on the bed. Because I know how brave and skilled he was, I don’t want to see him wandering and lonely... If I see flowers I don’t want to see the flowers fall. Once I saw Yingxiu’s genius, I hoped that he would shine forever, and hoped that time would stop on him. I hope that all the good things will last forever, and I won’t let me see the white jade shattered with my own eyes..."

Jiang Xue sighed, patted her cheek, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this—after all, there is no reason to entrust Mrs. Qingming's safety on Master Qingming alone, and let him shoulder the responsibility alone." It's been a long time to carry such a heavy burden. If the four gods can be recaptured and the land veins reorganized, the situation in Beijing will be much better, right?"

King Ma Cang Ye was still thinking about whether to comfort this Jun Ji, but unexpectedly she slowed down by herself and brought the topic back, so her answer was a little slow.

"If the four gods can be retrieved, logically speaking, it should be able to restore Jing's barrier."

Jiang Xue snorted with a smile, and said to herself: "So, I still need the son of Bailong..."

Only the god son of the white dragon can drive the divine power of the white dragon, and only by borrowing this divine power can he control the talisman of the four gods, not to mention the only one who can extract the talisman is Yaye.Others couldn't see the shrine at all, and couldn't find the amulet.

This feeling of being chosen by fate, if it is not the protagonist, no one will believe it.

King Ma Cang Ye moved in his heart, and asked suspiciously: "His Royal Highness Xueji wrote 'Son of the Dragon God' in her letter earlier, but just now said 'Son of the White Dragon', so the Dragon God is the White Dragon God? Or... Other dragon gods?"

If there is no other dragon god, then there is no need to add the word "white" in front of the dragon god as a distinction.

Jiang Xue let out a "huh", and then realized that she had slipped her tongue subconsciously. Since Ma Cang Yewang was so keen to spot the difference, she didn't hide it.

"Well... indeed... there are other dragon gods. Just like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, the white dragon god holds the yang power of creation and purification, while the black dragon god is in charge of the yin power of destruction and rest... only Only the god son of the white dragon can summon the white dragon god, and that power is exactly what Jing needs."

"Then, what about the Black Dragon God?"

King Ma Cang Ye looked at Jiang Xue quietly.

Most people don't pay attention to this, do they?

Jiang Xue hesitated for a second, but answered honestly.

"The God of the Black Dragon will also choose God Son... When the God Son of the Black Dragon calls the Black Dragon to descend, Jing may be destroyed. For the sake of Jing, it is better for us not to mention this name."

King Ma Cang Ye nodded in understanding.

"I see. A ruthless bridge is ahead. Abe's residence is not far north from here."

Jiang Xue raised her head and looked ahead, and there was indeed a bridge. She ran over happily and touched the pillars on the bridge.

"A ruthless bridge... um... According to legend, this is the passage between the underworld and the yang world... I really can't see it... There must be a few ghosts to make it real, or does it only appear at night?"

"Your Highness Xue Ji, be careful—!"

"Please step back immediately—"

When Minamoto Laijiu and Asakura Leaf's urgent cry reached her ears together, Jiang Xue was still a little unresponsive, subconsciously thinking about what they were nervous about, and only then did she notice that the bridge deck directly in front of her was covered in pitch black The mist engulfed it, and a monstrosity described as terrifyingly large leaped out of the black mist, and a stench and disgusting smell hit the face.

Jiang Xue was about to cry.

Why did she just show up just casually? !

When people are at a critical juncture, some people will be completely stupid and their thinking will be stagnant, but Jiang Xue's thinking is extremely sharp at this time. In a flash of inspiration, she remembered what King Ma Cang Ye said just now-not far from a ruthless bridge to the north is Abe's residence.

Abe Seimei has twelve generals by his side!

Minamoto Laijiu drew his sword and rushed forward recklessly, but because he kept following Jiang Xue a few steps behind in abiding by etiquette, the monster appeared too suddenly, and the distance of such a few steps seemed so long at this moment.

King Ma Cang Ye took out the spell and recited the spell very quickly.

When the monster's fangs and sharp teeth were about to touch Jiang Xue, Jiang Xue shouted loudly: "Suzaku! Help me—!"
