"Although it's a bit early... but do you want to have a drink together?" Abe Seimei invited as he looked at the sky, "I originally planned to have a banquet today, but you just happened to be here, how about I have a dust-cleansing banquet for you?"
"This is not good."
"What's wrong? Come together, we are all good monsters." Abe Seimei took out a few small paper shikigami from his arms and sent them away with the wind. "It will be fun to make friends with them."
What an unexpected gain.”
He didn't give Kano Akiichi a chance to refuse. He handed him a book and pushed him into the room, "Take advantage of the time before starting to study hard. I will check it tomorrow night."
Kano Qiuichi held the book and was pushed into the room. He blinked and took a while to react.
...You are too enthusiastic. Is Mr. Seimei this type of person?
Shikigami sent invitations to the great monsters who had signed contracts with Abe Seimei. The monsters who knew that there was an extra person attending the reception had different reactions, but one thing they had in common was that they were very curious.
There are not many people who can be talked about by Seimei Gong. There must be something unique about this person.
It's just that there are not many monsters who have chosen to come over. They are not idle, and there are only a few monsters who can spare time.
However, these big monsters noticed something was wrong after arriving in Kyoto.
"Is this friend of yours a god from somewhere?" Jiuting asked in displeasure.
Gods and monsters are sworn enemies. When they meet, they either avoid each other or fight to the death. How can they live in peace!
If you want them to drink with the gods, it would be quicker to kill them.
"He is still a human being." Abe Seimei explained to him, "Although there is a possibility of becoming a god in the future, he is still a human being. Don't be too rude for a while."
"It depends on whether he can get my approval." Jiudun snorted, "If you lie to me, you know what the consequences will be."
"I still have light wine here." Abe Seimei took out his trump card.
Jiutun immediately gave in, "Then let's meet for now. If nothing works, I will settle the score with you!"
Monsters and gods are inherently incompatible, and even monsters like Ichimokuren the Wind God can't get along with monsters who are monsters in the first place.
"Akiichi, can you come out? Everyone has almost arrived." Abe Seimei knocked on the door, and Kano Akiichi, who was still reading, came out.
Kano Qiuichi changed into another black Kosode, which was not as bright and eye-catching as the vermilion, but instead looked a lot more calm and steady.
"Black suits you very well." Abe Seimei praised, "Let's go, everyone is waiting for you."
Seven or eight eyes with extremely strong presence fell on him. Kano Qiu remained motionless. Just as he was about to introduce himself, Abe Seimei blocked his mouth with a fan, "Just say your last name."
"Seimei, where did you abduct this child from?" The female monster wearing a blue kimono and sitting on a scepter with a lamp hanging on it walked around Kano Akiichi, "When did Kyoto have such a thing?
Are you here?"
"It's a guest from the future." Abe Seimei introduced, "Don't scare people."
"future?"
Kano Akichi smiled.
"Then I guess I'll go back soon." Qing Xingdeng floated forward a little further, but his eyes were glued to Kano Qiuichi and couldn't tear it off, "Let's tell a story about the future? Hmm? I really want to hear the story.
"
In fact, the only monsters that Kano Qiuichi has come into contact with are Matata and Shavan, and in Kano Qiuichi's opinion, the two of them are no different from ordinary people, but they are very dependent on themselves.
This was the first time he saw monsters other than Youyou and Chafan.
To be honest, it was much more interesting than he thought before.
"I smell like a god." Ibaraki sneezed, "It looks pretty powerful, hey kid!" he shouted, "Fight with me."
"I won't back down from a fight." Kano Akichi took out his pen, "Where is it?"
"If you want to fight, wait until it's over and then go to the mountain to fight. My house can't bear the destruction of you two." Abe Seimei clapped his hands and asked the two to call a truce. "Don't fight, at least don't fight in the yard."
Kano Qiuichi took back his pen and put it in his pocket, and Ibaraki stopped thinking about fighting when he saw this. The other big youkai who were watching the fun habitually teased Ibaraki.
"What a joke! Today is not a good time to fight!" Ibaraki said, "You can come if you are able."
Abe Seimei raised his eyes and Ibaraki was speechless. He sat back behind the table in frustration.
The other monsters have also given up their current thoughts of causing trouble.
They looked at Kano Qiuichi more like a cub that had just started training. He couldn't control his power, but he still fought fiercely and refused to admit defeat. He was just a cub.
Although monsters have different personalities, one thing is basically the same.
The purer their monster bloodline and the stronger their strength, the harder it is for them to reproduce. No matter how hard the two tribes fight and kill them, they will not touch the cubs.
Because the cubs are the future of the group, once you attack the life and roots of the other party, you will be really crazy.
Therefore, when the big monsters go out, they will take a little care of the cubs they don't know which family they belong to. They will be trained and taught a lesson, but generally they will not hurt them.
For example, Ibaraki's invitation to fight just now was just to test Kano Qiuichi's fighting ability.
Now that I've been stopped, let's go to the mountain after it's over.
Kano Qiuichi, who sat down steadily, adheres to the principle of talking less and has never spoken much. These monsters have lived for a long time, much longer than Kano Qiuichi, who is only twenty years old. They have seen many experiences in these years.
He knows countless things and even knows gossip secrets that many people don’t know.
Even Kano Qiuichi, who was not very interested in gossip, couldn't help but listen to the chatter of the monsters.
"Didn't you steal this child from some god's shrine?" The Otengu clicked his tongue, "You just let us come here to meet him?"
"I told you it came from the future."
The big tengu had a look of disdain on his face as if you were teasing me, "How is that possible?"
Abe Seimei opened his fan to cover the lower half of his face, "I told you after confirming it. It's very interesting."
As soon as he said this, the eyes of the other big monsters looking at Kano Qiuichi became much more subtle.
"Time travel?"
"It's to change history." Abe Seimei shook his head, "It's very interesting."
"Are you kidding? History can be changed at will?" The Daitengu couldn't understand, "Are you so willful?"
"This is the inevitability of history, this is destiny." He tapped the rim of the cup with his fan, "Just wait and see what happens."
The other monsters were indifferent, obviously not thinking that Kano Qiuichi could change history.
The line of cause and effect is fair. Under the prescribed development, even if the original straight line is bent due to various reasons, once the world finds something is wrong, the bent line will be put back on track.
Small details can be ignored, but serious events will not be changed.
Everything has been arranged, even gods can't change it, let alone a human being?
The monsters did not take Kano Qiuichi's initial purpose seriously. They were more concerned about the extent of Kano Qiuichi's strength. After all, the thick layer of spiritual power around him was too dazzling.
Abe Seimei is clearly in control of the changes in his attitude towards the big monsters.
People with such pure spiritual power are popular no matter where they are, especially among people like them who believe in spiritual power more than appearance. As monsters, as long as their strength increases, they will have beautiful looks, which is good for them.
It is said that appearance is just a skin that can be replaced at any time, but it is a person's heart that really determines whether they will accept it or not.
There is also great strength.
Therefore, the only person who can be recognized by big monsters like them in this huge Heian Kyo is Abe Seimei.
Because Abe Seimei's strength can completely beat them up, and they will naturally become obedient after being beaten down.
Even Yuan Boya is worse.
Now Abe Seimei introduces Kano Qiuichi to them, which means that he hopes they can help Kano Qiuichi.
Kano Qiuichi did not absorb all the spiritual power into his body, but accidentally told the monsters about his strength.
With a little training, maybe he could be the next Abe Seimei?
"Wake up, you can listen to these stories anytime, come and drink with us." Ibaraki pulled Kano Qiuichi over and gave him the jug filled with wine, "Didn't you come from the future? Then
Just tell us what the future will look like? This is more interesting!"
Kano Qiuichi held the wine bottle, organized his words, and then said: "In the world about a thousand years from now, not only monsters and birds can fly into the sky, but also humans. Humans have developed a kind of aircraft called airplanes."
Something that can carry hundreds of people flying in the sky, cross the Pacific Ocean, and reach another continent in one day."
"Are there other countries in this world besides Tang?" a monster asked.
"Of course there is, and it's not just one. Japan is just an island country. There is a very vast world outside of Japan. You will see that different people speak different languages, and the culture is colorful and diverse. The world is much bigger than what you see.
If possible, I would like to go to the country next door to visit Tang Dynasty."
Kano Qiuichi told the truth. He actually wanted to go to the Tang Dynasty to have a look. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was in its heyday. The rich and gorgeous classical culture had always fascinated Kano Qiuichi. Now that he has this opportunity, if he doesn't go and see it with his own eyes.
At first glance, I feel really ashamed of this trip.
"The world is really that big..." the Daitengu sighed, "I don't know how long it will take me to fly to another country."
The road from Japan to the Tang Dynasty is long, nearly 700 kilometers. Even with the flying ability of the Daitengu, it is difficult to fly such a long distance without taking a rest.
What's more, these big monsters don't really want to leave the land they've been living in and go to another strange place. They say they want to see it, but they will never leave Japan unless necessary.
"I have some books here that were transported across the ocean from the Tang Dynasty. If you want to read them, you can come to my place and read them." Abe Seimei invited, "It's just that the current text is a bit difficult to understand. I don't know if you can understand it."
.”
Abe Seimei has seen the characters written by Kano Qiuichi. They are very different from the Chinese characters they use now. Many characters are simplified to the point that he cannot understand. It is convenient to write. It should be gradually improved to adapt to the development of the times.
.
"Although it's a bit difficult, I shouldn't have any problem understanding it." Kano Qiuichi's eyes lit up when he heard that there were new books to read. Qing Xingdeng secretly thought about what other books he had there, and thought about finding a time to bring them to him.
he.
The collections of these monsters are much larger than Abe Seimei's. They didn't think books were rare things before, but now they seem to be of some use.
"After a thousand years...will we still be in the world?" Ichimura, who had been drinking without speaking, suddenly asked, "Even monsters will choose to sleep after more than a thousand years."
As soon as he said this, the noisy monsters stopped talking. They all looked at Kano Qiuichi, wanting to hear the answer to this question from Kano Qiuichi.
"At least in the twenty years I have been here, I have never seen a monster." Kano Qiuichi said, "Maybe it is sleeping somewhere, but I don't know it, and there is no way to answer your questions."
"That's it." Ichimuro took another sip of wine, put down the wine bowl, and stood up from the table, "I'm going to get some air."
Kano Qiuichi tugged on his sleeves and said, "Sorry, I'll go over and take a look."
It seems that I said the wrong thing just now and irritated this big monster.
