Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 172

pitch black.

In the open space, Chen Beibei and the others watched the battle between Snow Maiden and Inugami.

Snow Maiden blew a breath towards Inugami, and Inugami's body immediately froze.

Those ice blocks spread from the torso of Inugami to the limbs, as if they were going to freeze the whole Inugami.

The old man's expression was very calm, without any anxiety.

Inugami exerted a fierce force, as if some invisible energy erupted in his body, and the ice cubes on his body also scattered into powder.

Inugami broke free from Yukino's control, which surprised Yukio a little.

Just when Yukino froze for a moment, Inugami's sword approached Yukino.

"Snow Maiden, be careful!"

Chen Beibei looked at Xue Nu and shouted loudly.

Even though Chen Beibei had already yelled out, Xue Nu still didn't react.

Inugami's sword slashed towards Yukio's neck.

The bright silver blade exuded a trace of cold air, which made Xue Nu feel frightened.

"Inugami, stop!"

The old man's voice sounded.

The sword that Inugami was waving in mid-air stopped, only a short distance away from Yukino's neck.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Everyone stopped, and there was silence all around.

If the old man spoke a little slower, then the Inugami knife should have cut through Yukino's neck by now.

There is no doubt about this.

Xue Nu's face is very calm, as always, Xue Nu has always been like this.

No matter how serious things are, she always looks indifferent.

This is true even in the face of death.

"Snow Girl, come back."

Chen Beibei looked at Xue Nu and said slowly.

Gu Huotiao once said that he couldn't beat Inugami.

Now that Xue Nu has also been defeated by Inugami, Chen Beibei has never imagined that he can defeat Inugami Shikigami.

Among the r-level shikigami, only Yingcao has a relatively high combat effectiveness.

The others are not fighting shikigami, not suitable for one-on-one combat.

Among the SRs, Gu Huo Niao is undoubtedly the strongest one-on-one.

Xue Nu is a monster left over from the ancient times, that's why Chen Beibei asked her to try, since even Xue Nu has failed.

Chen Beibei has nothing to do now.

An r-level shikigami fighting an sr-level inugami is undoubtedly death.

"I lost."

Chen Beibei looked at the old man and said to him.

At this time, Chen Beibei had no choice but to admit defeat, after all, trying to force his shikigami to continue to challenge Inugami's words.

That might directly kill his shikigami.

"Are you sure?"

the old man asked.

Chen Beibei nodded: "Yes.

Chen Beibei knew the strength of his Shikigami, since the Inugami couldn't defeat even Guhuo Niao and Yukino.

Then other shikigami are even less likely to defeat the dog god.

Instead of going on and putting your shikigami in danger, it's better to just admit defeat.Although it would be a bit embarrassing, but compared to the life of the shikigami, what is this?
Hearing Chen Beibei's surrender, the old man was a little surprised: "You...you really surrendered?"

"I lost!"

Chen Beibei said with certainty.

At this time, there is no other way but to admit defeat.

After all, Chen Beibei didn't want his shikigami to take risks.

The old man stood where he was, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Obviously, he couldn't believe Chen Beibei's surrender so easily.

In this world, there are too many competitive people.Sometimes even if you know you can't fight, you have to fight.

"There are no less than ten Onmyouji who have competed with me, Kawahira Yuki, and your first one gave up so easily."

"Grandpa's dog god is stronger than mine, not to mention, I am not as proficient in using shikigami as grandpa. So I am not sure that I can defeat you, so I have to admit defeat."

"But... Boy Che Angang, don't you want it?"

The old man looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

The competition between Chen Beibei and the old man was originally for the boy Qie Angang, but now that he lost the competition, the boy Qie Angang naturally couldn't get back.

"Grandpa, although I also need Tongziqie Angang very much, but my current yin and yang skills are not as good as yours, so you should take care of Tongziqie Angang for the time being. When I can defeat you in the future, I will cut Tongziqie Angang back. An Gang let me use it."

Chen Beibei asked the boy to cut An Gang to defeat Jiu Tun-douji. Now that even an ordinary Onmyoji of the Inujinshi family can't defeat him, let alone Shu Tun-douji, who was once the strongest in the demon world.

"By the way, what's your name?"

the old man asked suddenly.

"Chen Beibei."

It was just an ordinary name, and the old man gave Chen Beibei a lot of attention.

Then there was a meaningful smile on his face: "Chen Beibei, I am Kawahira Yuki, and I have no descendants. When the Inugamishi clan comes to me, they should disappear completely."

When the old man said this, he paused for a moment.There was a trace of sadness on his face.

"It doesn't matter if the members of our Inugami family disappear, but our family's Yin-Yang art cannot disappear. There are not many Yin-Yang arts in the world, and even rarer ones have been handed down. Although the Yin-Yang world will be relatively balanced for a period of time, but Disorders often occur, and our Onmyoji exists to maintain the balance between the Yin and Yang worlds, and although it has no effect in peacetime, it is indispensable in special times."

The old man continued.

Chen Beibei didn't know why the old man said so much to him all at once.

But you can also feel a kind of helplessness in the old man's heart.

The old man lives in such a remote place, far away from the human habitation, and the present bustling world.

It must be helpless.

Onmyoji is indeed useless in peacetime.

It's like when the bird is dead and the bow is hidden, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking.

They exist only for a specific purpose.

Once this particular purpose is gone.

They will inevitably be excluded by the world and isolated by the times.

"Grandpa, where is your son?"

Chen Beibei asked.

The old man said that he had no descendants, which made Chen Beibei curious.

After all, ordinary people don't even have offspring, no matter how bad they are, it shouldn't be like this.

In the Heian era, the Dog God Envoy family could even be regarded as a famous family, since it would be reduced to this point in just a thousand years.

Chen Beibei couldn't help but sigh a little.

"My son was eaten by wild animals on the mountain when he was very young. My wife left me soon because of excessive grief. This is already 60 years ago."

The old man looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.

When the old man said this, he was very calm, without tears or trembling.

It's like telling someone else's story.

Probably too long has passed, so long that even the sadness has gradually faded away.

"Why not find another woman?"

Chen Beibei asked.

With the wind blowing, the lights flickered, and the gray clothes on the old man were very loose.

The wind made the clothes stick tightly to the body, revealing a thin figure, which seemed a little rickety.

"Although I have thought about it, when I met her, I made a vow with her that I will only be with her in this life. So even if we completely disappear from this world, the Inujinshi clan will not Didn't look for another woman again."

The old man looked at Chen Beibei and said calmly.

The woman standing beside the stone wall stepped forward in small steps.

He poured another cup of tea for the old man.

The old man waved his hand: "Xiaozhu, take out the jar of wine that was buried earlier."

"Master Yumu, is that the altar of wine buried with the young master 60 years ago?"

The woman stood beside the old man and said respectfully, her voice was very soft but could be heard clearly.

"Ah."

said the old man.

The woman turned and walked out of the room, then disappeared into the dim lights.

Inugami stood under the torch, looking at the old man with a hint of worry on his face.

There was a brief silence in the room.

Soon, the woman named Xiaozhu came in with a jar in her arms.The jar was dug out of the ground just now, and there was still some soil on it.

The woman put the jar on the ground and wiped it carefully with a cloth.

"Chen Beibei, let's have a good drink today."

"Ah."

The wine has already been brought, and it has been buried for 60 years. Even if Chen Beibei is a non-drinker, there is no way to refuse now.

Chen Beibei's shikigami stood by his side, and they didn't speak a word.

Although they are more casual with each other on weekdays, but now they are outside and in front of other onmyojis.

Naturally, some rules are required.

When you don't ask the shikigami, keep quiet and don't disturb the masters talking, this is the most basic.

"Master, why do you suddenly want to drink today?"

Xiaozhu asked while wiping the soil on the wine jar, her voice was still soft.

But in a quiet room, it is very clear.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that there was still wine buried there."

the old man replied.

The teacup on the table turned into an empty cup again.

The old man looked at the woman with a dull expression: "Chuan Pingdie, how is it?"

"Already...already..."

The woman didn't go on talking. After 60 years, the corpse has turned into a pile of broken bones.

Although Chuan Pingcho sounds more like a woman's name, the owner of this name is indeed a man.

That is Kawahira Yuki's only son.

"Master Teak, let's not talk about this. The young master is kind by nature, and he has never done anything bad in his short life. Now that 60 years have passed, he may have passed away to someone else's good family."

"I hope so."

"It must be like this, Lord Yuki."

The woman's eyes looked at the old man with an indescribable emotion.

Under the light of the fire, it seems that there are still flickering highlights.

Chen Beibei didn't know much about the Chuanping family's past.

After all, it was because of the dog god that Chen Beibei knew about the existence of such a branch of Onmyoji.

But now it seems that Chuanping's family seems to be at the end of the road.

It's like a lit candle, like spring snow in the sun.

Sooner or later it will disappear.

And that kind of disappearance can already be clearly seen.

To Chen Beibei, these things were something he didn't want to see.

After all, Chuanping Teak was the second Onmyoji Chen Beibei met.

The first one is the monk of the Mahjong Temple.

Shuten-douji broke free from the seal, and there was no way for him to complete the task of guarding him.

In the end, he died tragically at the hands of Shuten Doji.

The second one is Kawahira Yuki from the Inugamishi clan.

Now nearly ninety years old, his son was eaten by wild animals in his early years, and he has lived alone ever since.

A person with a long life is no more than a hundred years old.

Even though Kawahira Yuki seems to be in good health now, it is impossible for him to live for too long.

Onmyoji in peaceful times.

Yin and yang are in disorder, and yin and yang in a world where ghosts and ghosts are rampant.

The gap is really too big.

At this moment, Chen Beibei thought of Shuten-douji and Ashiya Michimitsu.

1000 years ago, after Shuten-douji died, the scattered spirits were collected and sealed by Ashiya Michimitsu.

And let his descendants guard it for generations.

Now that Shuten-douji has broken free from the seal and came to the present world, he will surely break the balance between the yin and yang worlds.

Onmyojis, under such circumstances, their status will probably gradually improve.

Chen Beibei even felt that the resurrection of Shuten-douji might be a plan of Ashiya Michimitsu so that Onmyoji could survive well.

But such a plan is a bit evil.

After all, it is impossible to estimate what kind of disaster will be caused by the resurrection of Ghost King Shuten Doji, and how many people will die in the disaster.

Abe Seimei would not do such a thing.

However, Ashiya Michimitsu is not certain, what kind of things he will do is possible.

……

The woman wiped the wine jar clean, and filled Chen Beibei and the old man with wine respectively.

When the wine jar was opened, the aroma of the wine overflowed, filling the whole room in an instant.

The stone door of the room was closed tightly, the aroma of the wine could not disperse, and could only gather in the room, the aroma became more and more intense.

Even just smelling this fragrance, one is already a little drunk.

"Come on, Chen Beibei, let's drink."

The old man picked up his wine glass and poured the wine into his mouth.

Chen Beibei also drank the wine.

The mellow wine enters the throat, and a refreshing feeling arises spontaneously.

There is also a rare burning sensation in the throat.

It is said that the longer the wine is kept, the more mellow it will become, and when drinking, it will be soft and easy to enter the throat, but it has a strong aftertaste, and it is difficult to wake up when drunk.

After drinking a glass of wine, Chen Beibei already felt a little floating.

"Grandpa, can you tell me something about your Dog God Envoy clan?"

Chen Beibei looked at the old man and asked him.

As an Onmyoji, Chen Beibei is not of the same school, but no matter what, he is still an Onmyoji.

So I am also very interested in the experience of other onmyojis.

What's more, the Onmyoji of the Dog God Envoy clan was considered a relatively important branch in the Heian era.

Make an Inugami, and then make an Inugami.

This special yin and yang technique was even spread to other places.

But they are the only ones who can use Inugami perfectly.
