The fire started inexplicably like this. No one knew the cause. This was not the key. The top priority was to put out the fire.
Yan Luo felt like a firefighter a few days ago, but now he really is.
He flew up and landed on the roof. After a few ups and downs, people rushed towards the fire scene in the distance. Before they got close, they felt waves of evil spirits permeating the air. There must be monsters here, and there should be some.
More than one.
It was really a big mess here, and before he came, there were already Kyoto guards rescuing people and putting out the fire.
The most important thing for him when he came here was to find out the truth and capture the monsters. The guards could complete the rest of the rescue work.
Yan Luo used a barrier technique to seal off the scene. This is a barrier technique that manifests evil spirits. Whenever a monster approaches, it will be reflected by the barrier.
Not just this one, Yan Luo then received news that this happened all over Kyoto. He frowned, it still happened.
Chaos occurs frequently in Kyoto, mostly caused by fires, and there are also incidents of monsters hurting people. The entire Kyoto is busy, and ordinary people are hiding in their homes and afraid to go out.
The firelight at night is really obvious, but it is not easy to find monsters in Kyoto, a city with a large population. Monsters are invisible to ordinary people. Unless the monsters take the initiative to show up, there are only barriers or psychics.
Except for those who are born with psychic skills, the art of channeling requires at least a third-level onmyoji or above to practice, and most third-level onmyojis cannot do it. There are not many fourth-level and fifth-level onmyojis who can do it, so
For a time, the culprit monster was difficult to find.
Yan Luo was puzzled as to how the monster entered Kyoto. The four wards guarding Kyoto had also been opened. Logically speaking, as long as the monster stepped into the wards, they would show their true form and there would be no way to escape under the light of the wards.
shape.
And the Sifang Barrier has been guarded by three major families for generations, how could it be like this? Suddenly, Yan Luo had a ridiculous idea in his heart. If it was really what he thought, then what would happen to Kyoto... Yan Luo didn't dare to think about it.
Well, not everyone can bear this kind of consequences, and he is worried.
In the palace.
In the cabinet hall, that majestic figure has not moved for a long time since it stood in front of the window tonight. The master of the cabinet has his hands behind his back, and his thick back hides loneliness and helplessness. Do you really want to be like this?
This is going to consume all the hundreds of years of accumulation in Kyoto and destroying its foundation!
Even though the pavilion master didn't know why monsters appeared silently in Kyoto, he still inferred some of the truth from some clues. "Three major families, how will I treat you?" the pavilion master let out a long sigh.
"What are the people of the three major families doing?" The Pavilion Master said softly, with his back to the empty hall, as if talking to himself.
The black shadow guard appeared behind the Pavilion Master, saluted, and replied: "Reporting to the Pavilion Master, the elites of the three major families are all in the Sifang Boundary, and the patriarchs of two major families have also appeared."
The Pavilion Master paused and said, "What about the leader of the Genji clan?"
The shadow guard froze and answered bravely, "No news, no trace."
Pavilion Master: "Trash!"
The black shadow guard suddenly fell silent, not daring to speak.
Pavilion Master: "Go down."
The shadow guard was relieved, bowed his head and resigned, disappearing faster than when he appeared.
"Yorimitsu Minamoto...you are playing with fire..."
"..."
Compared to the chaotic Kyoto, the junction of the northern part of the Black Night Mountain and the Ojiang Mountain is completely opposite. This place is completely silent, with corpses all over the mountain, and demon blood dyeing the ground red. It is not an exaggeration to say that the blood flows like a river.
On a high mountain, three figures stood quietly, waiting quietly under the night wind, probably waiting for something. The three of them looked far away, where the fire illuminated the night and the smoke billowed. That place was Heian Kyoto.
.
These three people are none other than Oni King Shuten-dōji, Ibaraki-dōji, and Hoshikuma-dōji.
The clothes of the three of them were very clean, as if what happened just now was not done by the three of them, no, by the two of them.
Hoshikuma Doji fell behind the two of them, expressing his helplessness. For such a fight, it would be enough to ask those guys to stop, and they even dragged me along...
Ghost King Shuten Doji seemed to have read through Star Bear Doji's thoughts, and he started at the right time: "Hoshi Bear, you are my most powerful helper and my wise man. You alone are better than thousands of troops."
"What should we do next?" Ghost King Shuten Doji turned around and asked.
Star Bear Boy felt a little hot and warm in his heart. He might say he was dissatisfied sometimes, but he knew it very well in his heart, so he blinked a few times and thought about it in his mind.
Star Bear Doji: "Now, we are weak and weak, and we have initially occupied the big country. It is best to take a long-term view and wait until our strength is stable before making the next step."
Ghost King Shuten Doji: "But I can't wait, time waits for you demon." How could he not know that he needs to develop steadily and expand his power now, but if he misses this time, he will never have such a good opportunity in the future.
Hoshikuma Doji stopped speaking, and he had no other solution.
