Suzaku Street is the central axis of Heian-kyo, connecting the Rajomon Gate and the Suzaku-mon Gate, dividing Heian-kyo into ‘Tokyo’ and ‘Xijing’.
Although they are both the territories of Heian Kyo, the prosperity of Tokyo is far from that of Xijing. Tokyo is an area where the luxurious and luxurious nobles live, while Xijing is a place where poor people live.
Further outside is Ping An Jingwai.
For the same poor people, those who live in the city are much better off than those who live outside Heian-kyo. Heian-kyo is the residence of the emperor. The north and south are divided by Suzaku Castle, and the east and west are divided by Dongxikyo Avenue. The area in the middle is formed by Onnyangryo.
Protected by a barrier constructed by Onmyoji.
In the imperial palace, eight-foot magatama is even enshrined in order to protect the health of the people in Heianjing.
The poor people living there don't have to worry about not having enough to eat, but they don't have to worry about being killed by monsters one night, but just separated by a wall, people outside Heian Jing have to worry about whether they will be killed one day.
Eaten by monsters or ghosts.
Poverty, hunger, and hopeless fear have allowed the miasma to seep into every inch of the land outside the city, and this miasma is the favorite nourishment of ghosts and monsters, and they have given birth to one ghost after another in the competition with each other.
Those monsters will even come out during the day and eat someone who is making a living while others just watch numbly and continue to do their own thing.
This is the case outside the capital city of Ping An, let alone the residents in the mountains and forests.
Mountain forests are the abode of monsters, and the people who live in them have nowhere to go. If there are no people, there is nothing they can do.
At most... they can only count on wandering monks or onmyojis to exorcise evil spirits for them.
But how could any monk or onmyoji come to such a remote place? Onmyoji has always been aloof, how could he be so condescending as to come to such an isolated place? Even monks rarely go to such a remote place.
Come.
So when people in the village disappeared one after another, they just sighed helplessly, and then lived their lives how they wanted.
They don't have money to hire an onmyoji to help them exorcise demons, and they don't have a way to eliminate monsters. Where else can they go other than living here?
After leaving here, they no longer even have the land to live on.
The frequency of missing persons went from one less in a month to one less in a week, and in the end, one less in three days.
This village is not big, there are only about fifty people there, but after going back and forth like this, there are less than forty people left in the village.
Now, the people in the village finally began to be afraid.
More than a dozen people disappeared in a row. The disappearance of so many people made the villagers panic, fearing that they would be the next to die.
Disappearing in the mountains and forests is almost the same as death.
After they finished their work during the day, they would go home and stay inside at night. The door made of straw mats could not be said to have any defensive capabilities at all, but it was better than nothing.
How long will it take for these days to pass?
No one knows.
Finally, the young adults in the village could no longer endure such a fearful life, and planned to gather together and go to the woods with their wheat-cutting scythes to duel with the man-eating monster.
They are also very scared, but if they don't work hard, everyone will die sooner or later.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the monster quickly appeared in their sight and did not hide. It just stood here.
It was a huge spider four to five meters tall, with eight eyes and sharp barbs on its eight spider legs. If it was stabbed, it would be cut in half and die on the spot.
Facing such a monster, the hands of a dozen young people holding sickles were shaking, and they couldn't muster the slightest bit of fighting spirit.
They are so stupid. If they don't come, they can survive for a few days, but if they come, they will die here today.
"Is this food delivered to your doorstep? It just so happens that you don't have to hunt anymore."
The spider's voice was rough, and after opening its mouth to speak, it produced two drops of saliva. It corroded the surrounding land and plants like sulfuric acid. It is conceivable that if it fell on a human, it would probably be gone in a few minutes.
The men held the sickles and kept retreating. When the spider kept approaching, they finally couldn't control themselves and turned around and ran away.
But the spider just hung them, neither letting them run away, nor eating them directly, enjoying the pleasure of being eaten by them.
After all, life is so boring, so you always have to find some fun to adjust your mood, and the fearful mood of these people can also be used as food. They not only entertain themselves, but also taste delicious food, so why not?
It wasn't until they were tired and couldn't run anymore that the spider bit the last person and swallowed him directly.
Seeing the miserable state of their companions being eaten, those who had lost all their strength actually gained a lot of strength and ran down the mountain with all their strength.
Maybe if you go down the mountain, you can meet the Onmyoji and be saved?
The spider slowly ate up the few people who were left behind. When it was near the bottom of the mountain, it finally got tired of it and opened its mouth to eat all the remaining people.
A huge suction force sucked these people in. Even if they grabbed the tree next to them, they could not resist the attraction of the spider's snout, and they were sucked into his stomach one by one.
With their injuries like this, it was obvious that there was no way they could be saved.
In the blink of an eye, out of the dozen or so people who came together to fight the monsters, only three were left.
They know they are next.
At this time, a golden light fell on them and tied them to the tree trunk. The legs of the spider that had been chasing them were also trapped by the golden rope. For a moment, they became unstable and fell to the ground, shaking.
The ground shook three times.
A red figure appeared at the foot of the mountain. He seemed to have drawn something in the air. A Chinese character appeared out of thin air and covered the spider. The spider could not move as it was pushed hard.
There was just a click, and the spider's hard armor suddenly fell apart, and the smelly dark green blood spattered, but the people on the ground were not affected and were separated by a thin film.
Only then did those who were fixed to the tree see who had saved him.
It was a man wearing red sleeves. His skin was whiter than snow, and his hair was blacker and smoother than the best ink. They had never gone to school and could not think of any words of praise. They just felt that this man was better than they had ever seen.
All of them looked good together, and it was as if their souls were being sucked away by him looking at them like that.
"Are you injured?"
The man came over, his voice was clear and soft, the material of his clothes was soft and shiny, and the patterns embroidered on them shone in the sun. It was obvious that they were clothes that only the nobles in the city could afford.
"No, it's okay." The few villagers who were put down stuttered, their eyes wandering, their faces turned red, they looked at the sky and the ground but did not dare to look at Kano Qiuichi.
Seeing that they were okay, Kano Qiuichi walked towards the others who were still lying on the ground and wailing.
"Help me find their bodies." Kano Qiuichi said, "I will save them."
"But……"
The people with the least injuries here have their lower bodies broken off, not to mention some of the more serious ones, with only their heads left. How can these people be saved if they don't even have the energy to breathe?
But looking at this man’s magical methods, maybe he can really be saved?
Their hearts began to beat wildly, and they quickly brought back all the few remaining limbs and put them together one by one. As for the ones that had been eaten, they had no choice but to put the rest together.
I saw Kano Qiuichi taking out a black pen. The pen was completely black except for the hair on the tip, which was silver-white.
After dipping a touch of golden paint on the tip of the brush and applying it to the incision of the corpse, the bitten limbs were connected again.
Everyone opened their mouths in shock, looking at each other and seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
But just picking up the corpse was not enough. He even used that magic pen to draw a person's head in the air. They could not see the face of the head clearly, but they saw him taking the head out of the air and placing it there.
On the headless corpse, the round bald head turned into the face of the dead man, and even the hair grew out from the top of his head, exactly like his original appearance, and even the scars on his face were copied exactly as they were.
Come down.
Originally they thought it was just an Onmyoji traveling here who came to the rescue.
But I didn't expect that now it seems that this is Onmyoji. This is clearly a god who descended to earth and came to the human world to save the world!
For a moment, everyone's gaze became intense, especially after they saw that their friend who was missing arms and legs was visibly getting better, their eyes looking at Kano Qiuichi became extremely fanatical.
Kano Qiuyi turned his back to them and did not know the changes in these people's eyes. He just used his own ability to restore life to these people.
Fortunately, they still have that breath in their bodies, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to save them.
He rarely uses this ability of his, after all, these abilities are too eye-catching and can easily lead to misfortune.
Not to mention now, but in the city of Yokohama where he originally lived, once his ability is exposed, he will be pursued by various forces. If he cannot be moved to join his organization, then he will be hunted down.
This ability is only known to his teacher. In order to protect him, the teacher asked him to hide his ability. He only said that his ability can regenerate people's broken limbs and restore lost limbs, but he did not say that it can make people die.
Resurrection.
Of course, this resurrection from the dead is also conditional. It must be a person who has been dead for no more than 10 minutes and still has the obsession to live.
The second condition is easy to achieve, but the first condition is very difficult.
Unless he was fatally injured while walking with Kano Qiu and directly asked Kano Qiu for help, he really wouldn't be able to arrive within 10 minutes.
This time it was a coincidence. Just like when he first came to the Taisho era, he also just came to that world and encountered a ghost attack on the village. Most of the villagers were not dead, and the villagers who had just died did not last more than 10 minutes.
Want to live.
This was the basis for Kano Qiuichi to save them.
He was very lucky that he arrived in time, otherwise so many innocent people would have died like this, and he would have regretted it very much.
It wasn't until everything was completed that Kano Qiuichi shook off his sore hands and put away the brush.
Those people who were lying on the ground and losing their breath also opened their eyes and looked at the sky in disbelief.
...Isn’t he actually dead?
But wasn't he swallowed by that spider just now? Why is he still alive now?
The people who were originally surrounding Kano Qiuichi fell to their knees with a plop, their upper bodies pressed to the ground, and they shouted in fear: "Kami-sama!"
"...No, I am not a god...just an ordinary person." Kano Qiu shook his head and put his hands back in his sleeves, "Since you are no longer in trouble, I will leave."
"Please wait a moment!" the leader of the men shouted quickly: "What is your name? We want to build a shrine for you!"
"I have told you that I am just an ordinary person, don't do this." Kano Qiuichi refused: "Instead of building a shrine, it is better to do more good deeds."
He paused and then asked: "What is the current emperor... called?"
But these people just shook their heads and did not know the name of the current emperor.
No matter how dull Kano Qiuichi was, he knew when he saw the clothes these people were wearing that he seemed to be in an extraordinary place again.
Where in an ordinary place would one encounter such a ferocious and terrifying monster?
Kano Qiuichi hugged his chest and thought about what he would do next with a headache.
He couldn't just go ahead and ignore everything. He didn't know anything about what these monsters were or why they ate people.
It would be nice if I were with Chafan and the others again.
