Before this, I had never heard of the Dinghunzhu. After this happened, I sent someone to inquire about it.

The so-called soul-fixing pearl is actually a secret treasure that the royal family got by chance more than a thousand years ago. It is said to come from a night pearl in the depths of the South China Sea.

It has the effect of calming the soul and calming the nerves. Putting it in a house can also prolong the life of the people in the house and keep them from being disturbed by evil spirits.

Later, about 300 years ago, once the palace was invaded by a big monster, and members of the royal family were seriously injured. After that, the emperor ordered a great onmyoji to form a guard array in the palace, and the treasure behind the array was this soul-fixing orb.

In the battle five years ago, it was precisely because of the opening of this protective formation that the palace was able to survive.

But now, the loss of the Dinghun Orb means that if there is another crisis like five years ago, the imperial palace will not be able to open the guardian formation again, and the entire imperial family will be exposed to danger.

Ah Fu secretly came out of the palace to see me and explained the seriousness of this matter to me.

"Now those people don't have any evidence to prove that you did it, but because this happened not long after you were resurrected, they insist on blaming it on you. A Li, you should think about it sooner. A good way to deal with it.”

I thought about it carefully, and felt that this matter should not only be aimed at me, "Who are those who accused me? How much do they know about the details of killing Yamato no Orochi five years ago?"

"I'm not too sure about this. There aren't many people who know the details of that war, but if someone wants to inquire, they will definitely know a lot. As for those who accuse you, most of them are the hostile faction of Mr. Minamoto Raimitsu They know that you have a close relationship with your lord, and they will definitely regard you as a thorn in their side. Over the years, you and your lord have disappeared, and many of them have speculated whether your lord is dead, so they acted more and more rampantly. Now you suddenly When they come back, of course they will be worried, worrying whether Master Minamoto Raimitsu will come back one day."

Ah Fu explained to me, with a look of worry on his face.

"So they want to get rid of me in advance. While Minamoto is away, cut off his wings first. When Minamoto comes back, it will be easier to deal with him. These people have a good plan, but they are a little stupid."

I sneered, and then asked Ah Fu to make me a list of those who tried to blame me.

Ah Fu asked me what I wanted to do, so I whispered the plan in her ear, and she immediately laughed and clapped her hands, "Okay! We will deal with them like this!"

After chatting for a while, Ah Fu got up and said goodbye.

I recruited Ibaraki and the others and gave them the list.

"What does the Lord want us to do?" Ibaraki asked.

Me: "Take your subordinates and go to these people's homes. You'll be 'guests' for a long time, and you must be 'at home'. Treat their homes as your own, and play however you want. The bigger the mess, the better. .”

Ibaraki: "Yes!"

Aobozu: "Amitabha"

Hair-eating ghost: "Hahaha, that's great! Finally, I can do anything wrong! My lord, my lord, can I eat people?"

I glared at him, and the hair-eating ghost froze immediately.

So that night, Ping An Jing, which had been silent for five years, suddenly became chaotic.

All the demons suppressed their wanton chaos because of my restraint. Now that they have my permission, of course they have nothing to worry about. Except for not allowing blatant killing and cannibalism, I don't restrict what they can do.

Regardless of how messy Heian capital is, I decided to go to Xingyuan City first.

The seal of the city lord is still in my hands, and the previous storage meson, Ah Fu, has also been transferred to me according to Yuan Laiguang's instructions, and all my things are inside.

But I haven't shown up for five years, and I don't know how the situation in this city is now.

I heard from Ah Fu before that after Ah Liang's death, Xingyuan Castle was taken over by the Kamo family. The emperor did not take back the city because he was grateful for Ah Liang's contribution to saving the world.

Now I don't know who is the master in this city?

After coming to Xingyuan City, I found that compared with five years ago, there is almost no change. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the streets are full of traffic.What is more strange is that besides human beings, there are also monsters walking on the street. They coexist peacefully, without any hostility or panic.This point surprised me a bit.

Walking around, before I knew it, I came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

In front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, there are two monsters guarding the gate.

They seemed to recognize me. As soon as I appeared, they immediately sent a message to the mansion. After a while, the gate of the city lord's mansion opened, and a series of subordinates and monsters all came out one by one. They knelt down in front of me neatly and shouted: " Welcome back the city lord!"

Their voices were loud, and the voice gradually spread, and more and more people who heard these words knelt down on the spot, and shouted in their mouths, "Welcome the return of the city lord!"

I:"......"

Such a scene is something I never imagined.

Although the Great Seal of the City Lord is in my hands, Ah Liang did say that he gave the city to me back then, but five years have passed, and I have never made any contribution to the city. Listening to the shouts, I couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

But I also know that they are not loyal to me, they are loyal to Ah Liang.

Because Ah Liang's arrangement is like this, no matter whether he is alive or not, those who stay in this city will firmly and resolutely carry out his orders without any perfunctory.

Ah Liang, he is really an amazing person.

Among the monsters who welcomed me, I saw a few familiar faces, such as Anai, Kappa, Carp Spirit, and the Nine-Life Cat who clings to A Liang the most, and the one I only met once, the one who put A Ryo mistook her husband for the cherry blossom demon.

Of course, I don't know more monsters, but they used to be shikigami who followed A Liang, so my attitude towards them is naturally gentle and respectful.

After a simple exchange of greetings, I was invited into the City Lord's Mansion by them. I left Jiumingmao and Anai to reminisce about the old days, and the rest let them go back and perform their duties, so don't pay too much attention to me.

"My lord, it turns out that you are not dead. We haven't been able to hear about you these years, and I thought you would never show up again." Nine Lives Cat complained to me while playing with its claws.

I smiled, "Actually, it's almost the same as being dead, but I just came back to life recently. You are very good. After A Liang left, the city is still safe and prosperous. It can be seen that the officials and shikigami he left behind spent a lot of money. How much effort."

Anai's temperament is more calm, he just wanted to say something, but was robbed by Jiumingmao again.

Nine Lives Cat: "Of course. Looking at the whole world, which city is as peaceful as Xingyuan City? People and demons here can coexist in harmony. Even if there are occasional conflicts, there will be no big troubles. How wonderful. And With shikigami like us, other monsters would never want to come to Xingyuan City to cause trouble, this is because the master is wise, if not for him, the people and monsters in Xingyuan City would not be able to live such a good life."

I nodded in agreement, and then asked about the relationship between this city and Kamo's family.

"Ah Liang and I are not here, did the He Mao family think about sending a new kid to take over the city and become the city lord?"

Anai finally got the chance to speak this time, "Of course. In the past five years, they have come to make trouble every once in a while, and the onmyojis they send are more powerful each time. Every time we go out of the city to fight them, They were never allowed to set foot in Xingyuan City."

"You guys win every time? That's amazing."

Anai lowered his head a little disappointed, "No, it can't be said that we won, it's just a loss for both sides. In order to resist them, we also died a lot of monsters. I heard that the Ka Mao family intends to join forces with the Fujiwara family to carve up Xingyuan City. Everyone is still anxious and doesn't know how to deal with it, now it's all right, the city lord is back, with you in charge, even if the Ka Mao family and the Fujiwara family join forces, they will not be your opponent."

"That's it. Then I really have to deal with it with all my energy."

I knew in my heart that I had already made up my mind.

The news of the return of the city lord of Xingyuan almost didn't need to be deliberately spread, and it was quickly spread to everyone.

I know that if we want to defend this city, we must fight a tough battle. If we can't deter them once, there will be endless troubles.

As for Heianjing, because Ibaraki and the others deliberately made trouble, those nobles no longer bothered to pester me if I stole the Soul-fixing Orb. I can't stand it either.

But how many onmyojis are there that can deal with Ibaraki and the others?

Finally, Qingming came forward, and I sent a letter to call Ibaraki and the others back, but at the same time, I also made it very clear that I did not steal the soul-fixing pearl, and I didn't have the heart to find evidence to prove my innocence. If I want to blame this matter on me, I will go directly to that person to settle accounts, even if it is the emperor.

Due to my strong style, no one dared to say anything more, but I knew that they didn't just let it go, but wanted to find another opportunity to wipe me out in one fell swoop.

The matter at Heiankyo came to an end, so I simply transferred Ibaraki and the others to Xingyuan. There is still a tough battle to be fought here, so be prepared.

Sure enough, not long after I finished the arrangement, the Kamo family and the Fujiwara family joined forces, brought the best onmyoji and the most powerful shikigami in the family, and came to Xingyuan together, forcing me to hand over Xingyuan City.

I thought this would be a fierce battle, but I underestimated the determination of the Kamo family and the Fujiwara family to get Xingyuan. They not only brought onmyoji and shikigami, they also brought [-] soldiers.

They not only want to fight, they also want to use the method of war to break the boat. If they can't take the city, they will simply destroy the city.

I thought my previous arrangement was enough to deal with it, but now it seems that it is still far from enough.

Ah Liang spent so much effort to run this city so well, how could I let it be ruined?
