honor me as god

Chapter 164 Onmyoji
(two chapters in one)
What Kino told Baiza was that this group of people were wanted criminals, and he couldn't directly say that these people were aliens—because in the eyes of the world, he was just a Dogoland administrator.

An administrator, in Twilight City, why would he know that there are a group of aliens in a town hundreds of miles away?This is difficult to explain, and once someone asks, it may attract unnecessary malice.

Therefore, he can only deal with this matter coldly for the time being, and wait for the aliens to make some noise before he can openly use his contacts and military power.

It's meal time now, and Chino came to the restaurant to eat, and while he was eating, there was a conversation between Lugo and his companions:

"I heard that an onmyoji has come to the Avenue of the Night Watch?"

"That's right! I just passed by there when I was on patrol in the morning. Didn't you see those eyes, those lips, that chin... What a beauty! I really want to sizzle!"

"Why is there such a person suddenly visiting? Is it from Gyeonggi?"

"Yes, he's from Gyeonggi, wearing a one-claw golden dragon robe. It's said that his status is about the same as that of our main city-level eighth-rank official. Tsk tsk tsk, I can only think about such a big man in my head. In reality, I can't get high at all. "

"Grandma, there are so many beautiful girls in this world, why can't the gods send me one?"

"Lord Lugo, aren't you pursuing that waiter named Ann?"

"Hey, get out! Don't mention her, it's annoying."

The conversation between the two caught Chino's attention.

Onmyoji.
Kino had read from books before that Onmyoji was a professional system in the Far Eastern Dynasty. They mastered the art of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, practiced spells with spells, and had a high social status. People often asked Onmyoji to pray for blessings and eliminate spirits.

During wartime, these onmyojis can also form an extremely powerful long-range killing force, similar to the soul masters of the Erik family in the Kingdom of Dogland.

This year is the 513th year of the fire calendar, and the bloody "laurel war" ended in the 486th year of the fire calendar. In recent years, the relationship between the Kingdom of Dogland and the Far Eastern Dynasty has been relatively stable. Not to mention harmony, at least trade and talent have been restored. Communication, the handling of entry and exit certificates for personnel from both sides has also been simplified a lot, and the communication is very convenient.

People from the Far Eastern Dynasty often visit Dusk City, some are businessmen, some are immigrants, and some are tourists who just come here for fun.

However, this time, an onmyoji wearing a one-clawed golden dragon robe unexpectedly came, which was quite rare, at least it was the first time during Kino's tenure.

And Lugo and the others also mentioned that this is a great beauty.

female
from Gyeonggi
From Xilin Town to Gyeonggi, if there is no horse bandit attack on the road, and no border detention, the normal speed will only take 10 to 15 days to go back and forth.

Jeanne's newspaper mentions that the masked woman and Dantès have been away for 12 days.
"Lugo." Kino turned around and asked, "Do you want to see that Onmyoji?"

Lugo smiled and said, "Of course."

Kino wiped his mouth with a napkin, got up and said, "Then let's go together."

The two left the government residence, boarded the carriage and headed for the Avenue of the Night Watch.

There are already crowds of people here, and the civilians gather here, poking their heads, scrambling to look ahead, and whispers keep coming:

"Why are there so many people, I can't squeeze in!"

"It can't be helped, Onmyoji, she's still a great beauty, who wouldn't want to see it?"

"I just want to make a fortune, it doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not."

"No way, no way, no one really doesn't like beauties, right?"

"Tell me, how powerful is this Onmyoji?"

"It is said that this kind of person has supernatural powers of yin and yang, can know the past, can also predict the future, and can completely see through your destiny."

"So scary?! Then I went out to cough with my wife on my back yesterday, and suddenly remembered something, so I left first."

Kino didn't take these gossips to heart, because he didn't believe that Onmyoji had the ability to see through the past and the future.

"Knowing the past" is not impossible. Appropriate information plus psychological profiling can indeed know a person's past.

But "predicting the future" is bullshit.

The future is a huge chaotic system, uncertain, unrepeatable, and unpredictable.

Although this world has different basic rules from the previous life, the point of "predicting the future" is definitely beyond the reach of human beings.

If even a small onmyoji could predict the future, would the Far Eastern Dynasty have fought back and forth with Dogland in the "Battle of Laurel Flowers"?
This is obviously exaggerated after word of mouth.

Kino didn't disturb the crowd, he and Lugo were both wearing cloaks, and there was a tavern next to them, so the two booked a room with a viewing platform on the second floor to observe Onmyoji from a height.

The location of the room that Chino chose was very good, and he could see the face of the other party directly.

This is a beautiful classical woman with a slender figure. The luxurious one-claw golden dragon robe perfectly fits the curves of her delicate body. She shines brightly under the sun shining on the dome. Even though she is surrounded by so many people, her gestures are still indifferent. , as if not eating fireworks.

Seeing this, Lu Ge immediately whistled excitedly: "Sure enough, she is a great beauty! Not to mention, this golden robe is so beautiful on her body! But it must be more beautiful without wearing it, hey, hey hey."

Kino ignored this wretched guy, but silently stared at the one-clawed golden dragon robe, blinked and then opened his eyes, his pupils shrank rapidly under the control of his consciousness, and the distance of sight continued to move forward.

Perseus rewarded him with 100 gold moons, and he bought a bottle of 2-star eagle eye potion, which greatly enhanced his static and dynamic vision. As long as his pupils were focused, he could even see a bird a hundred meters away. Mosquito.

Kino's gaze swept across the clawed golden dragon robe, and caught the embroidery pattern in his pupils, and then landed on the nameplate on the waist of the Onmyoji. Through the details of the manufacturing process, it can be confirmed that it is real and should not be an imitation.

Kino narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "Her clothes and nameplate are really brand new, without any stains or signs of wear and tear, as if they were just made yesterday."

Lu Ge was a little puzzled, and looked forward: "Nameplate. What nameplate? Why didn't I see it?"

"Is Master Kino also interested in Onmyoji?" Suddenly, an old voice sounded from the side.

Kino looked towards the viewing platform next door: "I'm still wondering when you will show up, Lord Emer."

I saw a hunchbacked old man standing next door, wearing a black hat embroidered with mysterious runes, his wrists exposed under the sleeves were as thin as sticks, conspicuous blue veins were intertwined like earthworms, his face was full of wrinkles, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were deep. It seems to be able to accommodate a handful of loess.

Emer Eric, following the Twilight City bombing, the new "Supervisor" appointed by the Governor's Mansion is responsible for the discipline and style supervision of the remaining eight officials.

Don't look at Aimo's appearance like dry wood, as if he will fall if the wind blows, he is the "soul crossing" of the third sequence of the Eric family, and he has mastered ever-changing soul arts.

Soul art, according to legend, was created by a ray of divine soul separated by the Sun King. It can be understood as "magic", but in some novels or movies, magic often consumes mana, while soul art consumes the soul of the caster .

For this so-called "soul", because the laws of the world are different, Kino can't use the modern knowledge of his previous life to explain it. He only learned from related books that the more powerful the soul technique used by a soul master, the more souls he consumes. The greater the damage to the soul.

Moreover, this damage is irreversible, unlike mana, the soul has no way to recover over time or potions.

This also means that no matter whether it is a high-level soul technique or a low-level soul technique, as long as it is used, the soul will be permanently damaged. Once the accumulation of damage exceeds the critical value, it will become dementia or cause more deadly consequences.

Therefore, every soul master must train a large number of slaves, and master the technique of "sucking souls", and replace their own souls with slaves' souls when performing the spells, so as to avoid soul damage.

At the same time, looking at the Kingdom of Dogland, the Eric family is also the royal family with the largest slave population.

Ai Mo looked at the onmyoji, and said profoundly: "I have already inquired about it. Her name is Lu Yuqing. She is a golden dragon in the Far East Dynasty and works for the Gyeonggi Onmyoji. I heard that these onmyoji can know people's past and future. What does Lord Kino think?"

Kino said calmly: "If you want me to say, this is just an exaggerated word of mouth. We should maintain the most basic reverence for the ancient time."

Aimo looked at the whispering crowd and said meaningfully: "But I heard that many people who go to fortune-telling think it is very effective. This onmyoji can tell their life experience and past—even if the two parties did not know each other before. know."

"Many times, if you want to know a person's life experience and past, you don't need to rely on the so-called yin and yang techniques." Kino looked at the customer who was asking for a divination, and said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, let me do a divination, how about it? "

Ai Mo was taken aback when he heard the sound: "You also know Yin Yang?"

Kino did not answer directly, but looked at the man who was asking for a divination, observed for a moment, and said indifferently: "This man is a wealthy businessman. Stepping into the province, my parents have passed away."

Ai Mo and Lu Ge looked at each other and began to listen to Lu Yuqing's answer.

Lu Yuqing sat in front of the gossip table, and there were holy poles representing yin and yang on the left and right. The man paid 10 silver moons for the fortune-telling fee, and she took out a yellow talisman from her sleeve and stuck it on the table.

The charm spontaneously ignited without fire, flowing along the lines of the hexagram plate, shining brightly, as if there was some kind of supernatural power.

Everyone waited with bated breath, and needles could be heard all around.

Lu Yu stared at the burning hexagram disc, and began to slowly state information about the man. First, he told his life experience—similar to what Kino said—and then told the man that good things would happen next, and he would have good fortune.

The man was overjoyed after hearing this, and thanked her clumsily, and then gave her an extra 10 silver moons as a thank you fee, got up and left.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ge couldn't help but gasped: "It's actually what you said, how did you know? Could it be that you really know Yin Yang?"

Kino shook his head and said, "This is not Yin-Yang technique, but observation with the naked eye."

"This man has a lot of expensive accessories, but the matching is extremely rustic. This is a typical characteristic of a non-aristocratic businessman - rich, but poor taste."

"When he walks, he naturally holds his head high, and has the habit of putting his hands on his waist - full of traces of military training."

"Speaks with common errors in grammar and diction - no formal education."

"The temperature in the dew season is low, but he wears very little—it shows that he is used to severe cold and comes from the north. Combined with his accent, he must be in the province of Tuyu."

"As for the fact that his parents have passed away - he is at least 50 years old. How many parents are still alive for a person of this age?"

Lu Ge was stunned when he heard this, while Aimo smiled and said, "No wonder they say your eyes can penetrate people's hearts. Today I finally understand the meaning of this sentence."

Lu Ge asked: "Then she later said that this man will have good things in the future, and he will have a lot of money. Have you seen this?"

Chino looked at Lugo with a mentally retarded look: "After she said this, what did the man do?"

Lugo: "Another 10 silver moons were given."

Chino: "If she tells him—that you will be plagued by bad luck, your family will be ruined, you are hopeless, go home and die, goodbye—do you think she can still get the 10 silver moons as a thank you fee? "

Lu Ge reacted immediately, laughed and patted his head.

Ai Mo also smiled, but his words were still full of deep meaning: "Master Kino is familiar with people's hearts, but I still want to remind you that the onmyojis of the Far Eastern Dynasty were not philistines and liars, they really mastered the terrible onmyoji.

"I still remember the Laurel Flower War in 486 of the Huoyao Calendar. The Onmyoji wearing the four-claw golden dragon robe set up the "Slaying Immortal Formation" on the main battlefield. Our 4 full-staffed legions were directly trapped and died in the formation. No one in the army survived. "

Lu Ge exclaimed: "Four full legions? That's at least 4 people!"

Aimo said silently: "That's why the royal family now has a rule that every legion must be equipped with soul masters from the Eric family. Only our soul arts can compete with the yin and yang arts."

Kino thought for a moment, and said, "Lugo, anyway, you are very interested in this woman, why don't you go and have a fortune telling? I will reimburse you for the money spent."

Lugo already had this idea: "No problem, I'll go!"

Chino: "Remember to ask some harsh questions and make things difficult for her."

Lugo: "I understand."

After Lu Ge went downstairs, he parted from the crowd and swaggered towards Lu Yuqing.

When everyone saw the security captain coming, they gave way one after another.

Lu Yuqing looked at Lu Ge, showing a friendly smile: "Hello, Captain of Security."

Lu Ge suddenly felt astonished: "How do you know that I am the captain of security?"

Lu Yuqing: "You wear a job badge on your chest."

Lu Ge looked down, cursed and took off the badge of the security captain, put it in his arms, and then put 10 silver moons on the table, shaking his legs, and said with a grumpy face: "Big beauty, here is your brother Lu Ge!" How about a divination?"

Lu Yuqing accepted Yinyue and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Lu Ge sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and deliberately showed a disdainful expression: "In my opinion, you onmyojis are all liars. If you want to refute me, do you dare to guess my life experience? "

The crowd whispered, waiting for Lu Yuqing's answer.

Lu Yuqing took out the charm, lit it on the hexagram plate, stared at the flame and said, "You used to be a mercenary. You grew up on the street and never met your parents. Later, you were favored by the superiors and fought side by side with him. Going through life and death together is very appreciated.”

Lugo cut, shaking his legs, and said, "You know I'm a mercenary because my tone of voice and behavior are very naughty. Most of us grew up on the streets without parents or mothers. Asshole. As for the things about me fighting side by side with the higher-ranking ones—a wild dog-like mercenary can become an eighth-rank official in the main city, so he must have a very good relationship with the higher-ranking ones. Fighting side by side, going through life and death is the fastest way to accumulate favorability. "

On the viewing platform, Chino couldn't help but smile when he heard Lugo's words. This guy is a quick learner.

Seeing that Lu Yuqing fell into silence, Lu Ge said triumphantly: "What's the matter, beauty? I have nothing to say? Actually, I really don't want to tear you down, but you can collect so much money by just doing a simple calculation with these little tricks." Yue, I, as the chief of security, can't ignore this kind of barbaric money-gathering behavior!"

Lu Yuqing was still staring at the flames, with the burning hexagrams reflected in his pupils, and said quietly: "In fact, I still saw a lot of things, which were things you did before. But I think it's best not to talk about these things. Come out, so I didn't say anything."

Lugo frowned. He had done a lot of bad things when he was a mercenary, some of which were outrageous. If these things were revealed, they would probably be offensive.

But he turned to think, I am now spying on the administrator, so if you dislike me, let me be disgusted. A few ordinary people are disgusted with me, can I lose a piece of meat?

Besides, who knows if she is alarmist?Maybe let it scare people!

Thinking of this, Lu Ge said indifferently: "Say it, say whatever you want, and say whatever you want."

Lu Yuqing showed a mysterious smile: "Are you sure?"

Lu Ge shouted impatiently: "If you have something to say, hurry up! If you play tricks again, be careful, I will seize your divination table!"

Lu Yuqing coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Yesterday, you failed to confess to a tavern waiter. Her name is Ann."

Lu Ge was shocked when he heard this. When he confessed to An, there was no outsider around him. Why would this onmyoji know?

Could it be that Ann told her?This is impossible!

The more terrifying thing is yet to come. I only heard that Lu Yuqing continued to say: "After the confession failed, you were very sad. You hid in your room alone, drank a lot of wine, and then shouted Ann's name."

Lu Yuqing stretched out his small hand, made a fist, and moved up and down a few times.

After a brief silence, everyone understood the action, and the crowd burst into loud laughter.

Lu Ge's blood rushed to his head, his face turned red and liver-colored, and he jumped up, talking incoherently: "No, wait, no, you, huh??? How do you know???"
