[Talent A-088-Tian Tongyan] This talent is very rare, has a very strong ability, and belongs to the mysterious prophecy ability.
But there is no increase in combat power.
At least this is the case for recorded primary awakenings.
From the classics he had read before, Su Lun knew that this line of "bloodline boundaries" had been passed down in Shanyin.
It is said that these eyes can see where sentient beings in the six realms die and where they are reincarnated.
But the possessor of the ability is doomed to a tragic fate from the moment he is born.
Because once those eyes are opened, you can see the scene of someone else's death...and that is a fact that will definitely happen in the future and cannot be changed.
So they will see the death scenes of relatives and friends around them again and again. Fate gives them the opportunity to see the future clearly, but they cannot change it. This is the most powerless thing.
Therefore, people who have awakened this talent are usually regarded as "unknown people" who bring death.
This is similar to the death bird that Su Lun contracted.
The young violinist in front of her is not blind, she just doesn't want to use those eyes to see a world that feels like a "horror movie" to her.
Seeing her come to the door, Su Lun frowned and had a bad feeling.
Chijo seemed to recognize the specialness of these eyes, smiled slightly, and asked, "What, do you have something to tell me?"
The girl's face was very sad, as if accusing her would bring bad luck to people, "I know you are looking for my grandpa. But he passed away two years ago."
"Your grandfather?"
When Senjo heard this, he suddenly realized something and asked: "Are you the granddaughter of the "Sword Master" Akutagawa Ryuichi?"
The girl nodded, "My grandfather picked it up."
If this identity is revealed, it will cause her a lot of trouble.
Qianjou looked stunned as he listened, and murmured: "No wonder there is sword meaning in your piano music."
But at the same time, she also showed deep regret on her face, "Mr. Akutagawa has passed away. This is a pity."
The girl violinist seems not to know how to organize her language in this way so as not to make people feel disgusted. Just like once in the village, because she predicted the death of the villagers, she was gradually feared, ignored, rejected, and driven away by everyone.
She stammered: "I don't know how I can help you. But I'll give you this."
As she said that, the girl violinist randomly removed the pegs of her shamisen, and then disassembled the entire piano, revealing a small carving knife and a piece of white paper inside: "Grandpa carved this for me.
Qin. He once said that if you meet a good person, give your things away. I"
Senjou's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw the carving knife: "The true secret of Akutagawa's Itto-ryu!"
The closer she looked, the more she felt the sharp and cutting sword intent from that simple carving knife.
The figure of the little man drawn on Bai Juan is clearly a very superb swordsmanship.
Qian Jiao took a deep breath, and the joy on his heroic face could not be concealed, "You gave it to me?"
The girl violinist nodded, "Yes."
She looked a little flustered, as if she didn't know if she was questioned, she couldn't explain her actions, "I don't know if I can help you. But you are good people. I can only do so much."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jiao suddenly understood something.
She smiled slightly, "Did you see my death?"
"me"
Hearing this, the girl violinist couldn't hide her panic. Was she going to be disliked again?
But what surprised her was that the female swordsman in front of her asked again in a very calm tone: "I am also a little curious, how will I die?"
The girl violinist hesitated for a moment, and then said with great difficulty: "I saw you were burning in the fire."
Su Lun on the side did not speak the whole time, but when he heard this, his mood suddenly fluctuated.
Will Senjo-nee die?
Although we know that this is the destined return journey in everyone's life, it always makes people feel inexplicably uncomfortable when it is mentioned in advance.
Moreover, he knew very well that the death scene predicted by the legendary [Talent A-088-Tian Tongyan] was destined to happen.
In other words, will Qian Jiao die in an accident? (Qian Jiao will not die, there is a very interesting plot later)
The two people on the side had some fluctuations in their hearts, but only the victim, Senjo, raised his eyebrows inadvertently when he heard this.
There was no sadness or much surprise on her face, and she seemed to take her own life and death very lightly.
This is the fate of the Rakshasa girl.
She looked at the little girl's uneasy expression, smiled openly as if relieved, and asked: "Did I ever regret it at that time?"
"Never."
The girl violinist shook her head, looked at the person in front of her with her dull eyes, and responded: "I saw you looking back and smiling in the flames."
After hearing this, Qian Jiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly with satisfaction, "That's good."
It was as if I had seen the expected ending and everything was not that important anymore.
She looked at the girl in front of her and asked, "Do you want to be my disciple?"
The girl violinist shook her head: "No. This is my own fate. Others cannot change it."
Senjo shrugged, as if he saw his own shadow, and didn't say much.
She turned to greet Su Lun, who was slightly distracted, "Let's go."
"Um."
Su Lun nodded.
He glanced at the girl again and hesitated, as if he thought he should say something but didn't know what to say.
The girl violinist had already closed her eyes, "Sir, you are the Lord of Underworld. I cannot see your future."
The two walked out of the alley side by side.
Su Lun looked at the snow on the ground and glanced at Qian Tiao from the corner of his eye.
It was as if it was the first time he looked at her so seriously. That heroic face still had that frivolous and frivolous smile.
Naturally, Senjo noticed this gaze and complained: "Hey, hey, hey, why are you always looking at me?"
Su Lun shrugged and did not respond to her.
At this moment, he thought of many things in his mind.
How can one avoid death?
Su Lun suddenly felt, is this the meaning of studying the three ultimate topics of alchemy and unlocking the meaning of life?
There is no eternal matter in the world.
One day, relatives will die, friends will die, and I will die too
Everything in the world is destined to end from the moment it is born.
And this end point is "death"?
Is death really the end?
He had a vague feeling in his heart.
Su Lun's understanding of the "law of death" was far beyond that of ordinary people. At this moment, it was like quicksand passing between his fingers, and he seemed to have realized something new.
Just when some thoughts were flashing through his mind, suddenly, an arm was put on his shoulder skillfully, and then he pulled hard towards her body.
As close as ever.
Su Lun only felt that his head was deeply immersed in a gentle touch, he was punched, and thousands of dissatisfied mutterings came from his ears: "What are you thinking about!"
Qianjiao is half a head shorter than Su Lun.
The intimate movements between the two of them forced Su Lun to bend over. His neck was locked and he couldn't break free, so he simply squatted down and then lifted Qian Jiao up by the waist.
Countless times before, Qianjiao had the upper hand when they hooked up, but this time Su Lun took the lead.
His body suddenly became airborne, and Qianjou was also greatly surprised. He couldn't break free, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Put me down quickly!"
"Hahaha"
Su Lun laughed, but ignored her struggle and ran wildly in the alley.
His physical fitness was not bad. Even when he was carrying a person, he was as light as a swallow. He ran and jumped, found the tallest house nearby, and climbed directly onto the roof. Only then did he put Qianjo down.
It was completely dark now, and the huge Edo Castle was filled with orange-red lights, and the starry sky was bright when you looked up.
Qianjiao was carried up to the roof, his eyes dim. He originally wanted to beat Su Lun, but looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes gradually became blurred: "Hey, the scenery here is quite good."
Su Lun smiled.
The two of them sat side by side on the ridge of the roof, watching the fireworks in the city.
The Hii River divides Edo Castle into two urban areas, the north and the south. There are little sparks floating on the river, which are the river lanterns that residents put out to pray for the gods. There are also some Kongming lanterns floating in the sky, because they are far apart, they look like fireflies
generally.
Recently, many deceased people from Huangquan Kingdom have appeared in the city, and more and more people are worshiping them.
At the end of the field of vision is a large mountain with hazy shadows.
It is the "Bai Ri Sacred Mountain", one of the three sacred mountains in Shanyin. Even at night, you can see the majestic mountain and the white snow on the peak. Those built against the mountain have white walls and green tile roofs.
The palace complex is the imperial residence where the divine royal family lives.
The two didn't speak for a long time, their eyes reflecting the scene in the city.
Suddenly, a paper crane flew in the sky.
Senjo stretched out his hand to catch the paper crane and said, "Miss Miko is here."
Su Lun looked down and saw several figures approaching quickly.
A few guards stayed below, and a figure in white clothes ran up to the roof. After a closer look, it turned out to be Mitsuo Oko, a woman disguised as a man.
When Miko saw the two people sitting on the ridge of the roof, she sat next to Senjo without saying anything, "Hey, Sister Senjo and Mr. Su Lun found a place with a good view."
Qian Jiao pursed his lips and said, "Su Lun found it."
As she spoke, she hooked Yuzi's shoulder and said, "Miss Yuzi, Su Lun wants to live with you for a few days. I ask you if you are willing."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly became very strange.
Su Lun glanced at her, dumbfounded.
It means that even though that’s what it means, when the words come out of Senjou’s mouth, it doesn’t taste right.
Fortunately, Miko has become very familiar with them these days. When she heard Qian Jiao's words, she automatically threw out those jokes and immediately understood the meaning of these words, "How many days does Mr. Su Lun want to live in the emperor?"
She showed the warm and hospitable smile of a host and asked and answered herself: "Of course you can!"
"Um."
Su Lun also nodded and expressed his thoughts, "I want to stay in the royal library for a few days and read Shanyin's classics. I don't know if it is convenient for Miss Miko."
"Of course it's convenient."
Yuzi said happily: "There are indeed many secret books in the library. Mr. Su Lun likes to study so much, he will definitely not be disappointed."
These people were no longer strangers, and Su Lun was not overly polite and said with a smile: "Then I will cause trouble for you."
Yuzi disagreed, "It's not really a trouble."
Senjo on the side seemed to feel that the mission of his existence was completed, and muttered: "Then you talk slowly, I will not accompany you anymore."
Hearing this, Miko looked at Senjo and said in surprise: "Sister Senjo, aren't you going?"
Qian Jiao was someone who couldn't sit still, and said with a bored expression: "There are so many rules in the Imperial Palace, what's the point? I don't want to be locked up there."
With that said, she stood up and jumped down without looking back, "Okay, you two go and have a good chat, I'll leave first!"
Looking again, in the blink of an eye, the person had disappeared into the alley.
Su Lun: ""
Yuzi: ""
The two people on the roof looked at each other, both looking dumbfounded.
Yuzi stood up and bowed slightly: "Mr. Su Lun, let's go."
Su Lun followed Miko to the imperial palace at the foot of the "Bairi Sacred Mountain".
As expected of a princess, there were many guards around her in Edo City. Along the way, Su Lun also noticed many masters among the various secret guards.
Su Lun just wanted to find a place where he would not be disturbed to do his own research and read books. Naturally, he did not want to meet any royal figures. Those red tapes and useless social interactions were not enough for him to do two more alchemy experiments.
more meaningful.
Yuzi also knew what he was thinking, so he didn't inform anyone else and took Su Lun all the way across the moat and into the palace surrounded by white walls.
The two quietly entered the imperial palace.
The area of the palace complex is not too big, and there are outer gardens and imperial gardens. The imperial garden is where the emperor lives and is heavily guarded. It would be troublesome to go in to pay homage, so Su Lun didn't want to go. He wanted to go to the library in the eastern outer garden, which is also a building.
A four-story building with a green tile roof.
After entering the palace, the guards dispersed somewhat.
Miko's status is very special. Not only is she an imperial daughter, but she is also a king, and she has great rights.
I led someone into the palace, but no one came to ask.
She was like a competent little tour guide, introducing her home.
The two passed through a garden with a green lotus pond and large cherry blossom trees. I don't know what method was used to create a charming scene full of spring in the garden, which was in full bloom.
The buildings in the Imperial Palace are decorated with carved beams and painted beams, and the wooden construction craftsmanship is achieved to the extreme, making it a pleasure to see.
Yuzi led Su Lun on the stone slabs in the garden. She pointed to the building next to the library and said, "That's the royal treasure house."
"oh?"
Su Lun looked at the small building that looked like a museum. Looking over it casually, he saw a set of famous Warring States armors stored in a glass cabinet. The royal family's collection was naturally extremely luxurious, and almost the best of the entire Shanyin were gathered here.
's secret treasure.
The two of them walked and chatted.
Su Lun also gave Miko a brief introduction to some of his opinions, such as industry and social development. The current situation in Shanyin is very complicated and it is also the general trend.
However, there is a certain conflict between a technological society and a theocratic society, so he didn't say much, just a few reminders as a friend.
Miko may know the situation better than him.
While chatting, the two of them walked into the library.
The building was very dry, and whale oil lamps were hung on the beams, making it bright even at night.
The two of them turned a corridor and saw a dense collection of various classics.
Miko introduced: "On the first floor are some classics collected by the people; on the second floor are some orphan and rare books; on the third floor are various secrets, ninjutsu, and onmyoji; on the fourth floor are the royal secrets. If you want to go to the fourth floor, it is
I need permission from my father, because many books about gods are not allowed to be read by people other than the Shenfu clan."
As she said that, she smiled slightly: "However, if Mr. Su Lun wants to go up, I will be in the palace these days and can accompany you up."
Su Lun listened and responded: "Then I'd like to trouble Miss Yuzi. I just want to know something about Yamagakure. If it's a too sensitive classic, there's no need to read it."
It is already a great honor to be taken by the majestic princess to visit the royal collection, and he will not push too far.
What's more, there are so many classics on the third floor that it would take many years to read them all.
After listening, Yuzi smiled slightly, the two of them were already very familiar with this way of getting along.
She added: "Unfortunately, the library was burned down and many classics are missing."
Su Lun was also a little surprised, "Has this place been burned?"
There are many masters in the palace. Even if there is a fire, if you use the "Water Release Ninjutsu" to extinguish the fire within minutes, will it still burn?
"Yes, it is burned almost every one or two hundred years."
Yuzi said, seeming to know what was strange about Su Lun, and added: "In fact, it is not all accidents. Some fires are the will of the gods. The content of some words will offend the majesty of the gods, or they should not be spread.
Naturally, it cannot be left in the world."
"oh."
Su Lun listened with an enlightened expression on his face.
At the same time, he also thought of what Mr. Jing said before, that certain knowledge in human beings will be erased and blocked by higher gods. Is this an example?
The two of them didn't stay any longer on the first floor and climbed up the wooden stairs to the second floor.
This floor contains mostly orphan books and manuscripts, and even transcripts cannot be purchased outside.
Su Lun's eyes were like lightning, and he quickly scanned the labels on the bookshelf. His eyesight and brain development were extremely high, and he could roughly understand what books were there at a glance.
What he saw made him slightly confused, "Miss Miko, is there a manuscript by the great writer Fujiwara Hayato?"
"Of course there is."
Miko clapped her hands.
At this time, someone in the attic immediately responded: "Reporting to Your Highness the Princess, Hayato Fujiwara's manuscript was borrowed by the Minister of Military and Aircraft Kazuo Hojo two days ago. There is only the transcript of the ninth year of Taihe in the library. It is in the thirteenth cabinet in the west."
Yuzi listened and nodded: "Yes. You go ahead."
Su Lun was not surprised, because he just scanned the bookshelf with the label "Fujiwara Hayato" and it was empty.
He suddenly thought of Katyusha's grandma. That old man had really great energy. Someone from the Imperial Library had taken out things for her in advance.
Su Lun didn't say much. Manuscripts, transcripts, etc., made no difference to him.
At this time, he remembered the words of the previous bookstore owner and asked: "By the way, does Miss Miko know Sensoji Temple? I heard that Mr. Fujiwara ended up being a Buddhist monk in that temple?"
Miko nodded: "Of course I know. The history of Sensoji Temple is earlier than Edo Castle. It is said that the 'Yamata no Orochi' is sealed there."
Su Lun asked: "Yama no Orochi? Did that monster in myths and legends really exist?"
Even though I asked this question, this is a mythical creature. Counting time, it is still a monster of Amaterasu's era, and there is a high probability that it does not exist.
"It is said that there is."
Miko responded with a sweet smile, paused, and explained tactfully: "That's what the monks are guarding. I'm a Shinto shrine maiden, so I don't know very well."
Yamayaku not only has Shinto but also Buddhist temples. These are two belief systems that have little overlap with each other.
"oh."
Su Lun didn't ask any more questions.
But my thoughts started to spin, so why did Mr. Fujiwara choose to practice at Sensoji Temple?
The two of them walked up to the third floor without knowing it.
There are a lot fewer books on the third floor, but there are a lot more scrolls, stone tablets, and animal skin papers with obvious energy fluctuations. There are also the emblems of various ninja families, the emblems of major families, and the logos of martial arts schools on them, almost covering the entire mountain.
Hidden in various eras. Ninjutsu, swordsmanship, Shinto secrets, onmyoji, forbidden arts and secrets
Su Lun felt dazzled just by looking at those labels.
Going up is the most mysterious fourth floor of the Library.
Even on the stairs, Su Lun saw various restrictions.
Although Su Lun knew that the classics upstairs involved some taboos, he still wanted to visit them to gain some knowledge.
He then asked: "Miss Miko, can you go upstairs and visit?"
Yuzi understood what he meant and nodded happily, "Of course."
Benedict, Benedict, Benedict
The two of them walked up the stairs.
With Yuzi in front, those restrictions were not triggered.
Walking up, the space is not too big and there are not too many collections.
Su Lun looked at the black and white curtains with the Sakura clan emblem that lured the Kamfu clan hanging everywhere on the fourth floor, as well as some sacrificial totems of Amaterasu.
Su Lun clearly felt that indescribable will in most of the collections here.
This is the power of the gods.
Yuzi introduced: "Here are all the items inherited by our Shenfu clan. We once enshrined the 'Three Sacred Artifacts' Tiancongyun Sword, Eight-foot Qiong Magatama and Eight-foot Mirror. Unfortunately, they were later lost in the war."
"oh"
Su Lun also felt that he had learned a lot. This was the first time he had seen so many "divine things".
He had seen it all, and he didn't want to offend.
After stopping for a moment, I was thinking about going down.
But at this time, he just glanced at the colorful murals on the wall. He let out a sigh in his heart and focused his eyes on it.
What is painted on the mural is exactly the situation of the "Black Sun Festival".
The content is the legend that Su Lun has heard: Amaterasu walked away in anger, a black sun appeared in the sky, and people held a grand sacrificial ceremony.
The core content of the story is the process of shrine maiden sacrifice.
She is not an ordinary miko, judging from her clothes, she is a Saio!
The witch in the mural dances on an overturned barrel, with her upper body uncovered, her breasts exposed, and her pockets hanging down to her private parts, attracting cheers from the onlookers.
The painting style is very vivid, making people feel like they are seeing real people like in the movie scenes. It seems as if there is divine music playing in their ears, and the dancing postures are like the dancing of gods and humans.
However, looking at the miko costume, Su Lun couldn't help but think of the Mikoden miko costume, which was 90% similar in appearance, temperament, and appearance.
Moreover, he also learned that orthodox Kagura dance requires you to take off your clothes?
Although I don't have any evil thoughts, I don't think I can think of anything.
Miko naturally noticed Su Lun's gaze, and a blush quietly flashed across her cheeks, and explained: "This is the 'Kagura Dance', a dance to worship the gods that every generation of Saio must be familiar with."
She seemed to have thought of something else, paused, and explained a little more: "This dance is for the gods. It can only be seen on the altar of the shrine and cannot be seen by others. Those Kagura dances outside,
It’s all simplified.”
Su Lun looked stunned and said, "That's it."
He also felt that coming to this trip was really the right thing to do, and his knowledge greatly increased.
This prince is also a good friend.
Without her, Su Lun would never have had the opportunity to come into contact with so many secrets of Shanyin Country.
The two stayed for a while and then walked down the third floor.
Yuzi knew that Su Lun had many secrets and it would be very troublesome if outsiders knew about them, so she ordered the guards in the library to leave the building.
Soon, there were only two people in the huge library.
Miko also has to prepare for the big festival, so she has to stay in the imperial palace these days, burn incense, bathe and fast. She lives in an attic not far from the library, and can come over at a moment's notice if anything happens.
Su Lun didn't think anything would happen.
At least before the Black Sun Festival, he was prepared to be in the library.
He has too much to do.
As soon as Yuzi left, Su Lun untied the eight-armed spider spear costume, and countless threads pulled out all the classics he was interested in.
A hundred lines at a time, reading several books at a time.
