Desperate to meet a dog

Just as Ibaraki Doji's complaints ended, another blunt voice rang out, mocking him deeply: "You are really capable of getting lost on Suzaku Avenue. All the roads running from north to south here are straight. Could it be that the reason you are called the ghost of Rashomon is because you can turn back to Rashomon no matter where you go?"

"Who? Who's there?!" Ibaraki Doji looked around angrily. After searching for a long time, he didn't see anyone. Going up to his eyes, holding the gourd he has been thinking about in his arms.

"Even I have to search for a long time, you are really a lost star."

"Datengu, give me the gourd quickly, or I'll—" Ibaraki Doji hadn't finished speaking before the big tengu threw the gourd over.I didn't expect the big tengu to be so forthright at all. Ibaraki Doji was stunned for a moment. The ghost hand didn't dare to use force, and he caught the gourd carefully. He rubbed the gourd with emotion for a while, and suddenly became alert. He looked back and asked sinisterly: " Why did you hand over the gourd to me so readily, what conspiracy do you have?"

Big Tengu said calmly, "There is no conspiracy."

Ibaraki Doji became more suspicious: "I don't believe it! Aren't you afraid that I will violate the agreement just now?"

Datengu hugged his elbows and said with a half-smile: "What am I afraid of, anyway, even if I give you a gourd, you won't be able to get out of this Rashomon."

"Don't underestimate me!" Ibaraki Doji blushed by being pointed out. If he hadn't held the gourd in his ghostly hands, he would have crushed this little boy flying around in front of his eyes with a single slap.

"Oh, is that so?" Big Tengu looked at him condescendingly and said with a half-smile, "then you go and show me."

Ibaraki Doji couldn't bear the stimulation, turned his head and walked a few steps with hatred, but soon he took back his steps, stood in front of the big tengu again, and said confidently: "This is an illusion, and no one can leave without finding the entrance of the illusion. Get out, do you think I'm stupid?"

Daitengu clicked his lips, and asked angrily: "Then you plan to stick to Rashomon, right?"

Ibaraki Doji retorted: "Why, can you lead the way?"

The big tengu laughed, waved its wings and rose a little higher, and said confidently: "Why can't I, I'm not the same as a guy who has lost his sense of direction. I fly high and see far."

Ibaraki-douji stared at his own big tengu who cast his eyes from a high place, and said through gritted teeth, "...One day I will take off your wings and skewer them into chicken wings! Serve it to Shuten-douji!"

"Let's talk about it when you find Shuten-douji." Big Tengu didn't bother to talk to him, turned around and flew out.Ibaraki-douji paused, and quickly took two steps to catch up: "Hey, where are you going?"

"I'm looking for a shortage." Big Tengu replied impatiently.

"Tch, after a long time of trouble, you have lost the most important object like me, you are laughing at fifty steps." Ibaraki Doji laughed and mocked.

"Shut up, you road idiot!" Big Tengu said viciously, "And you stay away from me, I'm afraid you will infect me with the road idiot!"

Ibaraki Doji said contemptuously: "Then you fly higher, and the infection will not be contagious if you are far away. But with your body... you can't fly high at all, right?"

The big tengu staggered in mid-air and almost fell.After regaining his balance, he asked rhetorically: "Nah, do you think I'm really like you? Let me tell you, I have a contract with Huang. Even if he is far away from me, I can still feel his presence. I will soon You can find him!"

Ibaraki Doji is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, with its white hair blown apart: "What the hell are you showing off, I tell you, there is no need for such a nasty bond between me and my best friend!"

Big Tengu squinted at him, stretched out his hand and said, "Oh? I don't need it, then return the gourd to me."

Ibaraki Doji hugged the gourd tightly and cursed, "Get out!"

While Ibaraki Doji and Ootengu were arguing endlessly, the two unknowingly deviated from Suzaku Avenue and turned into the east near Shenquanyuan on Sakyo Sanjo Road.

Ibaraki couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north. In his opinion, the appearance of Heian Kyoto City was the same everywhere, and there was no difference at all.But he can still remember actions such as turning a corner.

Just when he was about to laugh at the big tengu for going the wrong way, a large and a small figure appeared in front of the three main roads. Seeing them, Ibaraki immediately closed his mouth, dispelling the ridicule, because coming from the front It is the person that the big tengu is looking for.

"Huang——" Seeing Huang's figure, the big tengu immediately flew over. Huang had expected him to do this for a long time, and couldn't help but open his arms to welcome him.The big tengu hugged his neck tightly, hung his legs around his waist, and hugged him affectionately.Araki rubbed his head, looked up and saw Ibaraki Doji standing behind.Ibaraki Doji fiddled with the gourd unhappily. Compared with the lucky Ootengu, he can only see things and think about people now.

Huang lowered his head, pinched the big tengu's cheek and asked in a low voice, "Did you give him the gourd?"

"Here," Ootengu said bluntly, "Don't worry, he won't escape, even if he escapes, as long as he goes to Rashomon, he will definitely be found."

"Why?" Huang asked puzzled.

"Because the wayfinding navigation in his head can only lead to Rashomon."

"Big Tengu, I hear you! If you still want me to help, stop slandering me!"

The big tengu wanted to refute, and Huang immediately covered his mouth. Huang patted his head with a warning look, raised his eyes and apologized and said, "I'm sorry, big tengu didn't mean anything, so please forgive him."

"Hmph, since he already gave me the gourd, I won't argue with him."

Ootengu and Ibaraki Doji stared at each other, neither of them accepted the other at all, if it wasn't for Huang's mediation in the middle, they could still quarrel.Zashiki Doji, who had a weak sense of presence, timidly pulled the hem of Rahuang's clothes, and asked: "Ogiwara-kun, what should we do now...?"

Huang said honestly: "I didn't expect this situation, Ibaraki Doji, what's your opinion?"

Ibaraki Doji raised his eyebrows and exhaled. He cleared his throat and said solemnly: "This place is not the real Heian-kyo, and we have not traveled through it. This place is just an illusion created by someone. As long as we find the place where the illusion started, we can go out."

"Who do you mean someone?"

Ibaraki Doji said the name as a matter of course: "Who else, there is only one Abe Seimei in this world."

Zashiki Boy murmured anxiously: "Is this an illusion created by Seimei Abe? What did he bring us here for?"

Huang said with a sigh of relief: "If we want to find out the intention of this ancient man, we first need to know what the monster who stole Karma did to trigger this effect. But no matter what, we should find a destination, Heianjing, But it's huge."

Ootengu's blue eyes rolled around and suddenly lit up. He grabbed Huang's skirt to attract his attention and said, "How about going to Abe Seimei's residence first?"

"It's a good idea." Huang smiled and patted his head, "What do you think, Ibaraki Doji?"

"It's much more valuable than going to the Heian Palace." Ibaraki Doji put on a posture and said, "But do you know where Abe Seimei's residence is?"

"Erfang, Tsuchimikado Road." Huang said without hesitation, and he was also surprised when he opened his mouth. When did he know Abe Seimei so well?

Ibaraki-douji didn't know the details of Araki, and upon hearing his affirmative answer, he casually said, "Since you know the route, let's go. The Tsuchimikado Road should be in the north, right?" Saying this, Ibaraki-douji turned back half a circle, Go straight to the south.

Big Tengu helped his forehead, and said with some admiration: "If you continue walking there, you will be able to return to Rashomon in no time. That's the south side, not the north side!"

Ibaraki-douji stopped the car suddenly, turned his head and said without changing his face, "I know it's south, and I deliberately tested you."

Ootengu snorted heavily, Araku squeezed his mouth before he was about to speak harshly, and said peacefully: "Come with us, Ibaraki Doji."

"Okay." Ibaraki Doji followed Huang's footsteps with strides, without any hesitation.

Walking northward along Nishitoin Avenue, the group of people is getting closer and closer to Abe Seimei's residence. In the illusion, Heianjing is dead silent. There are no people, no birds, beasts and insects. Crackling sound.

The flames reflected a halo covering their bodies, and a slanted shadow was drawn on the ground. Unknowingly, the seemingly ordinary shadow twisted into a strange shape, and stretched out its tentacles to slowly grab Huang's feet.

Ibaraki-douji's pupils contracted, he suddenly stuffed the gourd into the big tengu's arms, and then threw the black flame formed by the ghost energy and smashed it to the ground.The shadow let out an ear-piercing cry and twisted back to its original shape. Huang looked back and frowned: "Is it a ghost?"

"It's just some scraps." Ibaraki snorted and said, "These characters can't get into the eyes of my Rashomon ghost at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if to test Ibaraki Doji's ability, countless ghost figures spread from the shadow cast by the swaying firelight, they broke free from the shadow of the plane, and gathered together as black entities.

Zashiki-douji was a little scared, and the will-o'-the-wisps hidden in his braids burned one after another.Ibaraki Doji pursed his lips and smiled lightly, waiting confidently for the moment when the ghosts approached.

When the unformed ghost fluttered towards him, Ibaraki Doji knelt down on the ground, and energy condensed from the sleeve of his empty right hand penetrated into the ground. In an instant, a huge purple ghost hand emerged from the ground, pinching a few dregs. , The moment the ghost energy exploded, the overflowing energy spread across the road, wiping out all the ghosts that had appeared or were appearing. The whole process was as simple as a few seconds.

"Hand of Hell." Datengu murmured, wrinkling his nose to show dissatisfaction.

"Hand of Hell... What a vivid title." Huang sighed, and it happened that Ibaraki Doji turned around sassyly and walked over with a victorious posture.He said proudly: "The miscellaneous things have been cleaned up, let's move on."

Zashiki Doji timidly asked: "Abe Seimei also arranged these?"

"No." Daitengu frowned and said, "The shikigami driven by Abe Seimei are much more advanced than this one, and these unformed ghosts are more like their subordinates."

"Are you talking about Yuki?" Ara looked towards Abe Seimei's residence, "It seems that they are also nearby."

Hearing Yuki-onna's name, Ibaraki Doji asked in puzzlement, "Why, Yuki-onna came to Kyoto?"

Big Tengu added: "You can still see the ghost girl Hongye."

"Bah! Who wants to see that woman!"

Before the words fell, there was a violent explosion sound directly in front of him. This shocking loud noise continued to stir in the dead space. Huang covered his ears and couldn't control his legs and ran towards the direction of the loud noise. , the sound of his own breathing filled the eardrums.

Following the guidance of the voice, a few people went straight to the legendary Abe Seimei's residence, but when they arrived, the courtyard could no longer see its original appearance, and the walls and eaves built in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty were largely damaged. The messy courtyard that has not been carefully taken care of is exposed, the lush wildflowers are squished by bricks and stones, and the squeezed grass juice is filled with a haunting ghost.

Huang and the others came late, and what they saw was such a dilapidated scene. In the open courtyard, one south and one north occupied two completely different forces. Huang saw the bright black and white figure standing among the vegetation, and immediately ran away. past.

"Ghosts make black ghosts make white, so you are here."

"Ogiwara-kun? Why are you here?" Ghost Shiro's suit had changed back to the uniform of Hades, he looked at Arara in surprise, and said anxiously, "Get out of here!"

Huang smiled wryly and said, "Sorry, I'm afraid we can't leave now even if we want to."

Gui Shihei complained: "They are right, this illusion is not simple." Huang whispered: "But this is not the cause and effect of Abe Seimei."

"I know, I've heard Yi Mu Lian about this matter. But this thing is undoubtedly written by Abe Seimei, I really don't know what this guy wants to do." Gui Shihei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said fiercely, " No matter what, if you want to leave, you have to snatch Karma back from them first."

Huang looked forward, and there were two familiar graceful figures standing on the courtyard corridor, looking at them with irritated expressions.

"It's you again." Xue Nu clicked her tongue, she ignored Huang and looked at the big dog in his arms and said, "You really like courting death, and you dare to block our way before you recover. This time, what are you talking about?" I will let you die here!"

Big Tengu said fearlessly: "Then you can try it."
