The world is restarting

Several days passed after this.

Seimei Abe seemed to be busy all of a sudden, Yasuhiro Kamo also came to the door several times, and Minamoto Yorimitsu hadn't been seen since that day.

Although the oxcarts of the nobles on Suzaku Avenue still come and go, and the vegetation in Seimei’s yard is also growing vigorously under the water of rain, but sometimes Sawada Ya stands in the corridor and looks outside, always feeling the air above Heianjing. A storm is brewing.

Although she has always refused to admit that she is a disaster star, she actually knows what she will encounter every time she comes to Heian capital, and what she encounters this time is obviously the same as the one that resounded 20 years ago. The name of the capital is related.

She had a rare curiosity, what kind of person was that?

After that, it will be July [-]th, the Yulan Basin Festival, which is the day when the group of ghosts on Dajiang Mountain spread invitations and hold ghost banquets.

Sawada Ya got up early that day, and caught the great onmyoji who was rarely seen these days to have breakfast together.

After dinner, it was rare for Qingming not to go out early in the morning, but leaned on the porch with a look of "resting today", thinking.

"Today is Ghost Festival."

Sawada Ya was still sitting at the table slowly poking sweetfish on the plate, and raised her head when she heard the words, "Halloween?"

"Yes, there is the 'Hungry Ghost Festival' in Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, and the 'Ulan Basin Festival' in Buddhism, but most of the folks call it 'Ghost Festival'."

"So it's a ghost festival?"

"You can also say the same. According to the legend of Yin and Yang, on July [-]th, the 'Ullambana Festival', the gates of the underworld are opened, allowing the souls of the dead to return to the mortal world to visit their relatives."

The law enforcement in that prefecture is quite humane.

Little Lolita poked a piece of fish and stuffed it into her mouth. While eating the food seriously, she saw Qingming looking in the direction of Dajiangshan from afar, with an unpredictable smile on her lips.

"That group of ghosts really picked a good day."

"Qingming, is it a good day?"

"Yes, after all, guests will come."

"guest?"

"Yes."

But the Great Onmyoji didn't continue to say who the "guest" was. He looked back at the little girl who was still eating breakfast earnestly behind him, and suddenly asked, "Does Jun Ji want to go to the ghost feast?"

Huh?

Little Loli held the tip of her chopsticks in her mouth and raised her head in a daze.

"Can I go?"

"sure."

She thought about it, nodded, "then go."

On this day, Abe Seimei stayed at home all day, contrary to the busyness of the past few days.And in the afternoon, Minamoto Raimitsu came to Abe House to pick him up.

This time, he was the one who took Sawada Ya out for the banquet, and Dai Onmyoji himself stayed behind...Because the emperor personally issued a decree, whether it was Abe Seimei or Kamo Baoxian, they had to stay in the capital for this day.

Probably because he was afraid that the group of monsters on Dajiang Mountain would get excited after drinking and drinking, they revolted on the spot and rushed directly to the capital to grab their heads. stay overnight.

"That man is too careful."

He Mao Baoxian complained so when he came to see Qingming.

At this time, they were sitting on the porch in the backyard of Abe's house drinking, and the time to enter the palace was in the evening, so the two of them were not in a hurry to leave yet.

Abe Seimei picked up his wine glass and smiled softly, "Because of Mr. Kan's incident, the imperial court has become more cautious about resentful spirits."

Suga refers to Sugawara Michizane, a famous minister who was wronged and died during the reign of Emperor Daigo.This old gentleman has a violent temper, especially after his death. He had just been given a copy of the nationality of the kingdom of the underworld, and he followed the example of his predecessor, Prince Zao Liang, and came back to take revenge.

He passed away in March [-]. In the second year after his death, floods and epidemics occurred in the capital; in the third year a comet appeared; Tokihei Fujiwara.

At this time, everyone thought that he should stop, but he didn't.

In the following [-], floods and epidemics reappeared in the capital; in [-], there was a great fire in the capital; in [-], drought and storms; in [-], smallpox and dysentery; Cough was prevalent in [-], and cough broke out again in [-]. This time, he killed the crown prince, the son of the younger sister of "old friend" Fujiwara Tokihei.

It can be said that this old man's revenge was from morning to night. In the 27 years since his death, the court has not stopped for a moment, and the word "Ping An" in Ping'an capital has completely become a joke.

The pinnacle battle was the summer of [-], when a thunder fell in the Qingliang Palace, killing two important ministers, one of whom belonged to the "old friend" Fujiwara's family.Emperor Daigo was so frightened that he abdicated and gave up the throne to Empress Suzaku, who was only eight years old at the time, and died within a week.

Because of Kan Gong's brilliant record, the current imperial court is horrified when the word "wraith" is mentioned.The leader of the group of ghosts on Dajiang Mountain claimed to be Ping Jiangmen, and he wanted to hold a "ghost banquet", which was like dancing on Zhu Qing's sensitive and delicate nerves.

At this time, even if Abe Seimei or Ka Mo Baoxian wanted to go to the ghost feast for themselves, who would dare to let them go?What if they had just left on the front foot, and the "Ping Jiangmen" on the back foot brought all the ghosts to copy the hometown of Pinganjing?

"So you let your child go with that kid from the Yuan family?"

He Mao Baoxian put one hand on his knee, took the wine glass boldly in a sitting posture, and raised his eyebrows, "Are you so relieved?"

"It's not alone," Abe Seimei said nonchalantly, "Didn't I ask Ji Jun to bring Shikigami?"

He Mao Baoxian stopped drinking, and the corner of his mouth twitched faintly, "...You said that fox that can't even beat your Xuanshu?"

That thing is also called Shikigami?

What is the use?Do you add food to others when the monsters come?

Turning a blind eye to his slander, the onmyoji who was wearing a white hunting suit brushed his sleeve with one hand and poured himself a glass of wine, calmly reminding, "Brother, have you forgotten what time it is today?"

"July [-]th' Obon Festival', so what..."

He Mao Baoxian paused suddenly, and finally remembered something, his expression suddenly became weird, "...No way, that guy is here too?"

"Didn't he come every year? Senior brother should get used to it, right?"

"..." He Mao Baoxian closed his eyes for a moment, turned his head away twitching at the corner of his mouth, "...I can't get used to it. It's fine, I know why you feel relieved."

At this time, the ox cart carrying Sawada Ya had already driven into the mountains and entered the Tanba country.

This day is the "Ullambana Festival", and Tamba has already begun to light up lanterns to prepare for the celebration. Paper lanterns floating on the water can be seen everywhere in the river in the city, like a bunch of stars in the sky.

Sawada Ya sat in the bullock cart and looked out of the window curiously. The driver in front was still Minamoto Yorimitsu. For some reason, neither Sakata Kintoki nor Bube Tsutsutake came along this time.

Mr. Genji flicked his whip again and again, leaning on the car door and talking to her, "...So, every time this kind of celebration comes, there will be many nobles going out in Heianjing. But the noble daughters of the Gongqing family and the court ladies They will not show their faces, but instead show the cuffs and hem outside the curtain for the passers-by around the road to admire, which is called 'outing the car'."

"Get out of the car?" Ze Tianya lowered her head and looked down. Her own clothes were being spread out along the side of her body and hanging out of the car curtain. Every time she got on the car, the shikigami helped her tidy up like this. In fact, she didn't Not sure what that means.

"Yes, because I won't show my face, I've been working hard on the cuffs. Some time ago, there was a new trend in the palace, called 'strike color'."

"Sexy?"

"The outer layer matches the inner color. For example, if the outer layer is red and the inner layer is blue, it is called '踯躅'; if the outer layer is yellow, and the inner layer is green, it is called 'Girl Flower'..."

Clothes in this era are very thin, and the color of the inner garment can often see through to the outside. The superimposition of the inner and outer colors is like mixing colors to create new colors when painting.

Sawada Ya nodded half-understanding, "Laiguang really understands about girls."

If these things were replaced by Boya, they would definitely not notice.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Minamoto Raikou suddenly choked, and his eyes immediately drifted to both sides of the road.

The nobles of this era are keen on various activities, banquets and late-night visits to their wives, and their romantic attributes are all at full value.Among them, Fujiwara, Genji, and Heira are the best among them. What flows through their blood is the elegance of the Heian era, and it is basically a natural skill to flirt with young ladies everywhere.

Otherwise, how did the "The Tale of Genji" that has been passed down for thousands of years come about?

According to the material drawn by Murasaki Shikibu, the prototype of "Master Guanghua" Genrong is from Saga Genji, and he is still the ancestor of Minamoto Raimitsu.

So I really don't blame him for saying that he was drifting for a while, this is all blood talent...

At this time, the setting sun in the sky had completely fallen below the horizon, the sky was getting darker, and there were more people on the street.I don't know if it's because the location of Danba Kingdom is not too far from the capital of Ping'an, but this Obon Festival celebration is actually quite lively.

Probably for people in this era, natural disasters, man-made disasters, and ghosts will take away human lives at any time, so this rare holiday that can relax is especially worth cherishing.

Humans were not the only ones who came out to play and relax on this day. When the bullock cart passed by on the street, Ze Tianya saw several strange passers-by.Although the appearance is no different from that of a human being, but the behavior is a bit awkward, obviously some little monsters are pretending to be.

Little Loli blinked her eyes at the chubby civet cat passing by with the leaves on her head, and wanted to stroke the fluffy cat.

"Speaking of which, where's your fox?" Minamoto Raimiko happened to ask outside the car.

"Foxosuke, it just entered the city and said it smelled of fried tofu, so it ran after it."

She didn't stop it either. After all, Foxnosuke went to Konoha instead of Naruto during this period, and life was a bit miserable. Even a fox was about to suffer from depression.This time Seimei suddenly asked her to bring Foxnosuke with her, but she didn't understand why, anyway, she just took the little fox out to play and relax.

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.As soon as they mentioned Fox's help, the wheels of the bullock cart ran over the intersection ahead, and Sawada Ya suddenly felt the spiritual power of Fox's help rushing towards this side like flying.

The little fox seemed to have hit a ghost, and jumped out of the crowd like a ball of fur and rolled onto the car. When he came back, he threw himself into her arms and shivered, his hair all fluffed up.

Little Lolita was just about to ask what's the matter, when the bullock cart under her was suddenly stopped by Yuan Laiguang, and she herself raised her head as if feeling something.

Like a drop of water dripping on the scroll, all the colors in front of her gradually darkened, and the yin world overlapping with the yang world descended in the blink of an eye.The souls belonging to ordinary human beings sprinkled along the road like clusters of dim flames. At the end of the road, a strong evil spirit rushed along the street like a sea tide hitting the reef.

The demonic aura was mixed but not chaotic, like stars surrounding the moon, guarding the center with two fiery demonic fires, like a ghost king on a tour.

"Hundred ghosts at night..."

Ya Sawada was holding Foxanosuke, and suddenly heard Minamoto Raimitsu "tsk" outside, "...I met an 'acquaintance'."
