long way home

Abe Seimei arranged for He Si and others to live in the mansion, and the matter should have come to an end.

But it was bound to be a sleepless night.

The filthy power entangled in Keiko Fujiwara's soul is so tenacious that even Tianyi, who is good at healing, can't get rid of it, so he has to turn to Seimei for help.

And He Si and the others were also very interested in this, so after getting permission, they all followed Qingming to watch Qingming's spellcasting process.

Abe Seimei observed the ominous air lingering on Keiko's soul, "Well, it's the spell of a foreign monster, so Tianyi is helpless."

Akiko Fujiwara pleaded sadly: "Master Seimei, please save Sister Keiko! If she hadn't been implicated by me, she wouldn't have been controlled by monsters."

"Akiko Ji doesn't have to blame herself too much." Abe Seimei comforted this overly kind Ji Jun, "The filth of monsters can't invade people with no gaps in their hearts. It was Keiko Ji who first wavered before being bewitched by monsters."

Saying that, Qingming nodded to Tian and asked her to take Zhangzi away to rest first. After all, the following process may not be suitable for this weak Ji Jun to watch, "Zhangziji, rest assured and leave it to me!"

Fujiwara Akiko was extremely convinced of Abe Seimei, and immediately felt relieved after hearing his promise.After a whole night of tossing around like this, a rich lady like her who usually doesn't leave the house and doesn't go out is already exhausted. If it wasn't for Keiko who was really worried, she might have been unable to stand up for a long time.In this way, he naturally obeyed Qingming's kindness and went to rest with Tianyi.

"Sangha! Purification! Barriers! Yin and Yang! Breaking barriers! Purification! Phantoms! Achievement of auspiciousness!" Abe Seimei formed seals with both hands, and recited a series of mantras, establishing a spiritual power formation between him and Keiko's soul A bridge that transmits clear spiritual power to Keiko.

Keiko has been polluted by bad luck for a long time, and has almost degenerated into a ghost. If it weren't for this, Higashikiri would not have hesitated to cut her down together.At this moment, the filthy aura in her soul collided with the clear spiritual power, causing her great pain, causing her to scream involuntarily.

Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki, who was still very curious about the so-called exorcism ceremony, stood far away at the moment, looked at Keiko's distorted face in pain, and sighed: "It turns out that being corrupted by ghosts is such a terrible thing!"

Keimaru glanced back at him, "Anyway, you are also Fusangshen of the sword, and a ghost of this level can be killed easily, what are you afraid of?"

"Well, don't be so strict with him." Hikiri seemed to be helping Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki, "After all, he is not a spiritual sword, and he has no experience in fighting ghosts. Not any sword can face evil spirits like our brothers You cut it down without hesitation, right Onikiri?"

"I'm Kememaru! Onikiri is your nephew's other name, okay?" Keimaru has nothing to do with his forgetful brother.

"I'm joking." Who knows that this time Hikakiri admitted that he has been teasing his younger brother, "Well, the name doesn't matter anyway. Don't get angry so easily, angry pill."

Sure enough, my brother has been deliberately calling his name wrong all the time!Knee pill suddenly became sad and angry, "It's not anger pill, it's Knee pill!"

But thanks to the daily bickering between the brothers, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly relaxed a lot.

Abe Seimei maintained the spell with his hands sealed together, but it did not prevent him from seeing the "farce" here. At this moment, he still had the leisure to ask, "Higakiri, Kemaru... I just wanted to say, could these two be friends?" The two vibrating spirit knives of the Yuan family took shape, right?"

Hearing Seimei's question, Higakiri no longer took pleasure in torturing his younger brother, "Oh? Mr. Seimei has also heard about our brother?"

"Yeah. I have a friend whose surname is Yuan. Although he is not from the same branch as Master Yuan Manzhong, I have heard about the fact that the Yuan family was bestowed by him." Qingming mentioned a friend who has the reputation of the god of music. Yuan Boya, unfortunately he has passed away.

His wife Wakana and his best friend Boya passed away one after another, which is why Seimei is so indifferent to life and death.

No longer thinking about these sad things, Seimei looked at the Genji brothers, "It will be a wonderful experience for the two of you to have such good fortune in the future. If you two want to meet Master Minamoto, I can also recommend it for you."

"Really?! Well...it's not necessary." Xiwan was overjoyed, then thought of something, shook his head and rejected this tempting proposal. "Our responsibility now is to protect the history, and we have a new master. It's not us who should stay by Master Manchu's side, but 'Higakiri and Kenmaru' at this time, right brother?"

Higakiri also nodded, "If we meet, maybe I can't help but give some suggestions to the original owners to make their life better? But this will change the history, so it's better not to meet each other."

Hikiri was referring to the upcoming battle between Genji and Heira, which would be a disaster for both sides.

"Eh? Hikiri, do you guys have the same idea?" Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki laughed, "I thought I was the only one who would think about what to say to Ryoma when I saw him one day?"

In fact, most swordsmen have thought about this issue.If what they want to protect is the history that is beneficial to the old master, they will naturally go there happily.But sometimes, they are required to guard the history that brought tragedy to the old master. Due to their duties, they have to go.

Yamabuchi Kunihiro felt that it was not good to talk about this in front of the judge, so he glanced nervously in Diarmuid's direction.

Diarmuid was watching his lord wholeheartedly, in case he suddenly thought of something and approached Keiko's soul to investigate the black air that he was very curious about.

Noticing Kunihiro Yamabuka's gaze, Diarmuid waved his hand to signal him not to worry too much about himself.Although it is not easy to say this in Diarmuid's current position, if history or something conflicts with the safety of his lord, Diarmuid will never care about the so-called history.It's just that this can't be said to the men with swords.

After chatting for a while, the purification ceremony of Fujiwara Keiko's soul was also over.The black air that was originally wrapped around Keiko faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing her original pure soul.

Keiko, who regained her sanity, still retained all the previous memories. At this moment, when she recalled what happened before, she couldn't help covering her face with her hands and crying, "What the hell did I do!"

Under the guidance of Abe Seimei, Keiko told everything she had experienced.

The aristocratic young man who made a marriage contract with Keiko suddenly regretted the marriage and married Ji Jun from another family instead.During her illness, she heard again that it was the wayward Ji Jun who said that he would not marry unless he was a king and forced her fiancé to marry her because her wealthy fiancé couldn't refuse.So Keiko felt extremely resentful in his heart, which attracted the monster.

Those monsters bewitched her that as long as she did what they said, she could curse and kill that wayward Ji Jun and get her fiancé back.Keiko, who was blinded by resentment, agreed without hesitation. Under the influence of the demon power, her soul left her body every night to go to the shrine on Guichuan Mountain, and nailed the nail with bad luck on the sacred tree. It has been more than a month now.

After asking what happened, Abe Seimei no longer kept Keiko's soul and sent her back to her body.In this way, Keiko Fujiwara, who fell into a coma due to a serious illness, can regain consciousness.

"Hey! This time is troublesome." Qingming sighed, "Mount Guichuan is the dojo of the God of God. The Dragon God is a high-ranking god among the gods of Tianjin, and he is in charge of the mountains, forests and waters near Kyoto. He was actually sealed. , no wonder the drought lasted for so long.”

Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki was taken aback, "Isn't it said that he is a very powerful god? He will be sealed by an ordinary human?"

"Human evil thoughts, especially women's resentment, are very terrifying things." Seimei explained: "Gods are born of human beliefs, so it is difficult to resist human evil thoughts."

Abe Seimei is an onmyoji who communicates with yin and yang to see through life and death. Naturally, he will not think that gods created human beings like ordinary people.

"Whether it's gods or ghosts, they are all created by the human heart." He Si also thought similarly, "That's why it is said that the power that can harm gods is in the hands of people who don't believe in gods."

"That's right!" Abe Seimei sighed and shook his head, "Keiko Ji was confused by monsters and no longer has awe of the gods, so her curse can seal the dragon god, and the monsters take advantage of this. But , Why did they seal the god Gao Yin? That god is not meddling, if you don't provoke him, he will not take the initiative to expel these foreign monsters."

"This can only explain one thing, Taotie and the others have set up their lair in Guichuan Mountain!" Unlike Qingming, He Si didn't have the slightest reverence for the so-called gods, so he could see through the truth of the matter at a glance.

"So that's how it is!" After He Si reminded, Qingming also suddenly realized.He usually does divination subconsciously to avoid the location of the gods to avoid collisions. "No wonder I can't find any traces of these foreign monsters in divination. It turns out that they have usurped the dojo of God Gao Yun!"

"So you can find Taotie by going to Guichuan Mountain?" Diarmuid immediately felt a little impatient to fight against Taotie, his old opponent. "My lord, please leave it to me! I will definitely not let it escape this time."

"Eh? Are you going now?" Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki was a little surprised, "At least it won't be until dawn..."

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced outside the house, only to see that the sky had already turned pale, and the sun was about to rise.

"...haha! There is no excuse for being lazy now!" Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki scratched the hair at the back of his head in embarrassment.

The other few blades didn't have any opinions. The men with swords and swords all had a strong sense of justice. Now that they knew where the monster's lair was, they wouldn't let them have any possibility of continuing to hurt people.

He Si is not as tireless as Diarmuid and the sword men. Although his current body is not much different from Sword Fusangshen in essence, he is far behind in terms of energy and physical strength." Genuine".

Abe Qingnian is already at a high age, and his body cannot withstand the overnight consumption, so he also needs to rest.

However, he launched his own grandson without hesitation, under the guise of exercising his abilities, "Chang Hao is the only heir I have identified! Don't look at him as a half-baked man now."

Chang Hao, who was caught out of the bed by his unreliable grandfather, was a little embarrassed when he heard that his grandfather was so optimistic about him, but the second half of the sentence made him explode instantly, "What is half-baked? Wait, old fox, I Definitely defeat those foreign monsters and become an Onmyoji stronger than you!"

As he said that, he was aggressive and went out immediately.

"Qingming, you are really wicked!" The mob that Honglian turned into sighed, seeing the master's clumsy aggressive method.However, he quickly jumped up the wall and chased Chang Hao away.

He Si couldn't go to Guichuan Mountain with them, and Diarmuid didn't feel at ease leaving his current powerless lord here alone.

After discussion, it was finally decided to leave Mikazuki Zongjin to protect He Si, while the other blades followed Diarmuid to crusade against Taotie.

For this decision, Sanriyue Zongjin naturally raised his hands in favor, "Hahaha! Very good, very good! Just let me be lazy."

Yakuken Fujishiro glanced at him, and suggested to Diarmuid: "General, is it really good to stay in Sanriyue Palace? Why don't I guard He Si-sama, after all, I used to be a bodyguard sword and have quite experience in this. "

Yao Yan didn't have any lazy thoughts, but simply felt that Sanri Yuezong was unreliable.

"Haha! I think it will work!" Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki also thought it was a good idea.

Although Yamabuki Kunihiro didn't say anything, he looked at Mikazuki Munekin with distrust.

"Hey! Don't just bury me like this in front of me, okay? If you all say that, I will be sad too." Mikazuki Zongjin raised his sleeves to cover his face and pretended to cry, "Higakiri-den, Kyomaru Dian, you can also say a few good words for me! Otherwise, wouldn’t it just make people underestimate our swords from the Heian period?”

"Eh?" Kagemaru pointed at himself and his elder brother. Unexpectedly, Mikazuki Zongjin dragged their two brothers into the water, "This, that... Anyway, Mikazukiden is a veteran swordsman of Honmaru after all. Believable, right?"

"Since Mikazuki Palace has said so, I have to say something fair!" Noticing Mikazuki Zongjin's encouraging gaze, Higakiri smiled slightly, "When it comes to defense, our swords are really not as good as Mikazuki's. Hall. After all, none of us are as thick-skinned as him!"

Mikazuki Zongjin was hit hard immediately, "Higakiri-den, you are really..."

"Okay, let Sankayue stay!" In the end, He Si saw how pitiful Sankayue Zongjin's expression was, and decided to follow the original arrangement.

Before leaving, He Si reminded his followers, "The last time we fought against Taotie, it had just escaped from the seal and was at its weakest. Then I locked it in a cage directly to restrict its recovery. .Although it was scared away when it saw you just now, it was only because you left a deep psychological shadow on it. When it reacts, it will definitely go all out to avenge its shame. You don’t want to Measure the current gluttony with the original level. This time without me to sweep the formation for you, Diarmuid should be more careful!"

"I remember!" Diarmuid nodded solemnly, "My lord, I will definitely dedicate victory to you as usual!"

"Well, I believe in you." He Si stood on tiptoe and patted his servant's arm (tiptoe couldn't reach the shoulder ←_←), "Diarmuid, I wish you prosperous martial arts!"

After sending these people away, Abe Seimei still couldn't rest.He asked Tianyi to wake up Akiko Fujiwara, and wanted to send her back to Fujiwara's mansion when the sky was not fully lit and there were few pedestrians on the street.

After all, staying overnight is not good for Zhangzi's reputation, so others should not know about it.

Zhang Zi also understood this matter, although he was still very sleepy, he still forced himself to leave.Before leaving, she asked, "Master Qingming, is sister Keiko alright?"

"The bad luck on Keiko Hime has been eliminated, as long as she rests patiently, she will recover." Abe Seimei pondered for a while, and considering Zhang Zi's physique that is easily coveted by monsters, he decided to tell the truth, "However, even if she recovered If you are healthy, your fortune in the future will also become extremely bad. No matter how hard you miss people, it is easy to lose what you cherish, and you can't achieve what you desire... In short, everything will not go well."

"Ah!" Zhang Zi exclaimed, "How could this happen?"

Qingming explained patiently: "Even though she was bewitched by monsters, she did curse others. These are the prices she should pay, and no one can help her change. No matter what kind of difficulty, don't be swayed by the bewitching words of the monster!"

Now that Qingming has said so, Zhangzi can only leave with a heart full of thoughts.

However, Zhang Zi didn't know that Seimei still had some reservations about what she said.

Fujiwara Keiko not only cursed the Ji Jun who snatched her fiancé away, but also sealed the god Gao Yun, even if she finally wakes up, she will definitely pay a heavy price for it.After she finished this troubled life, she will receive severe punishment in hell, and even if she is reincarnated, she will not be able to be a human being again.

This is the so-called, "cursing others for harming oneself"!

The author has something to say:

"Curse others to hurt yourself" is the famous line of Yan Moai in "Hell Girl".It means: Cursing others is double. While sending the other party to hell, one's own soul will also enter hell after death. (Another famous line is: Do you want to die once? Noto Mamiko's pairing of this line is very touching!)

Xiao Ai was very handsome when she said this, so I borrowed it as a title.
