Qiao Xi laughed inexplicably and walked outside. When she was about to leave, she did not forget to leave a light sentence: "Then... three days later, in the red maple forest outside the city, don't lose your life due to carelessness.
."
His figure disappeared into the courtyard, and Hideyuan Hanakaiyuan didn't care at all about Qiao Xi's sudden attitude. His mind was filled with the name "Ibaraki Doji".
The Ibaraki Doji he knew was a subordinate of Hagoromo Kitsune - it might be a bit inappropriate to call him a subordinate. To be precise, he just loved his father Shuten Doji deeply and looked forward to Seimei opening his heart.
The Gate of Hell and then let yourself go to hell to find your father.
According to this situation, he and Hagoromo Fox should have a cooperative relationship.
——But at this moment, another powerful monster also named Ibaraki Doji suddenly appeared?
At this moment, Hanakain Xiuyuan extremely doubted whether he had accidentally broken into an illusion created by some monster.
However, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that how could any illusion be so realistic?
For a long time, Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan took a deep breath and calmed down. Then subconsciously, he suddenly raised his hand to cover his lips and laughed softly.
"Haha, interesting...it's so interesting..."
There was a smile on Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan's face, and the deepest part of that smile was mixed with an uncontrollable excitement.
He really has not been so excited for a long time.
Since he was born and his talent in onmyoji was discovered by his family, he has been directly taken into the palm of the Huakaiyuan family. When he was less than ten years old and could defeat monsters on his own, his reputation also increased.
It began to spread throughout Kyoto.
Until the chaos in Kyoto last year caused by the Hagoromo Fox, the reputation of the Hanakaiin family had almost reached its peak due to the presence of Hidemoto Hanakaiin.
Hanakaiin Hidemoto is the onmyoji closest to Seimei. This is not the first time that the person involved has heard this statement. After hearing it many times, Hanakaiin Hidemoto occasionally thinks in his heart, if he can be with Abe
Qingming was born in an era, so would he still have such a good reputation?
——Curious, really curious.
Unfortunately, the Heian period was so far away from him that it was difficult for him to even imagine what kind of era it was when he was reading ancient books.
Generally speaking, Hanakain Xiuyuan is not a peaceful person. He longs for adventure and likes an uncontrollable future.
So when he saw in the divination that the haunted house was inextricably linked to his own fate, Hideyuan Hanakain felt excited.
Because it involves himself, the divination situation is not very clear, but this makes Hanakain Xiuyuan himself even more looking forward to it.
——If he hadn't been responsible for the future of the entire Hanakaiin family, he might have left Kyoto long ago to search for many legendary monsters.
When he met Qiao Xi, Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan was almost sure at a glance that the sudden change in his future that he divined must have something to do with the boy.
The young onmyoji raised his head and squinted his eyes to stare at the bright light in the sky.
Although it is autumn, the sunshine is still very warm. When you look up, it is so dazzling that you can't open your eyes.
Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan smiled softly at the sun, and then closed his eyes.
——Really looking forward to it.
Ibaraki Doji.
…
When Qiao Xi returned to the courtyard, Ibaraki was already sitting cross-legged under the corridor, drinking from a wine bowl.
Seeing Qiao Xi come in, he just raised his eyes and glanced at him, then started drinking again. What he drank now was not the sweet flower wine that Qiao Xi liked, but
Shuten-dōji’s exclusive yōshu.
What Ibaraki likes most is that this wine is strong enough for monsters.
Due to his personality, Ibaraki usually does not let himself get drunk like Shuten, but occasionally, he would like to feel the feeling of being drunk by strong alcohol.
Qiao Xi glanced at Ibaraki, ignored him, and directly walked past him into the room.
With the changes of the times, monsters have become less and less numerous and weaker. Qiao Xi and Ibaraki have not even encountered a monster that can reach the level of a great monster in such a long time since they came out of Dajiang Mountain.
——Although that slippery guy has a lot of room for growth, it has to be said that he is still a little too young.
Also, in fact, not only youkai, but also the power of Onmyoji is much weaker than during the Heian period.
Ibaraki can still recall the time when Shuten Doji fought against the Onmyoji of the Kamo family in Kyoto for Momiji Princess. At that time, both in Oeyama and Kyoto, the air was filled with endless blood.
In fact, things are fine in Kyoto. Although the Kamo family is focused on grabbing women from the ghost king of Oeyama (?), the other onmyoji are not just decorations. They can naturally create barriers to control the humans in Kyoto from being contaminated by these blood energies.
There is no monster in the world who can do this. Looking back now, Ibaraki is very sure that if they didn't have a peach blossom demon and a cherry blossom demon borrowed from Qiao Xi to help, the final result would definitely not be so easy.
.
—— Losing both sides is probably the best outcome.
After that time, Kyoto was taken advantage of by that guy Abe Seimei and was quietly held in his hands. Oeyama was also seriously injured and no longer active as before, until Momiji-hime became pregnant.
Ibaraki made an unclear "tsk" sound.
The bloodline of the great monster is the best tonic in the world, and this is true for any creature that craves power - whether it is a human or a monster.
Ibaraki thought that around that time, many monsters and humans who were supposed to have a different future disappeared during that period.
Regardless of whether they are humans or monsters, there will always be some people who long for things they don't deserve. When they see other people of the same kind disappearing because of the same desire, they feel fear because of this, but they always feel lucky that they will.
It's that special existence.
It's a pity that the final fact told all humans and monsters that they will not be that special existence.
Ibaraki closed his eyes.
The feeling of the autumn afternoon sun shining on your face is very warm without being too hot. The warmth just makes you feel very comfortable.
But at this moment, what emerged in Ibaraki's mind was the appearance of numerous corpses piled up all over the mountains and rivers at that time - among those corpses, there were monsters and humans.
It has to be said that the rich smell of blood can really easily make a monster get lost. Even Ibaraki Doji can't control himself sometimes.
