I, the young onmyoji

In the Kibune Shrine below, the priests and shrine maidens who worshiped him were busy as usual, without noticing him at all.

After all, they do not have the ability to see themselves, so it is normal for them not to be able to see themselves.

Since the death of Masahiro Abe, none of the god generals have had any contact with him. Gao Longshen is interested in this guy Abe Masahiro. Unfortunately, he is a human after all and will grow old quickly.

Although his grandson Yasuchika Abe inherited most of his power, he was much weaker than him.

Therefore, Abe Yasuchika was not attracted by Takaryūgami, which led to Takaryūgami becoming alone again from Abe Yasuchika.

Then Gao Longshen only had one thought, and that was boredom!

He had always been playing with Masahiro Abe and the Twelve Divine Generals. After Masahiro died, the situation suddenly changed to the previous situation. There was no one to play with him anymore. Gao Ryuugen, who was used to the excitement, would naturally feel bored.

In addition to Abe Masahiro, there is also Abe Masaran. It turns out that this guy Abe Masaran left Heian Kyo hundreds of years ago and ran away with his entire family. This made Gao Ryujin even more bored. If Abe Masaran didn't run away, at least he would still have a very good chat partner.

Although Abe Masaran promised to come and have a look when he has time, but according to the lifespan of Abe Masaran awakening his bloodline and becoming a Sky Fox, he doesn't know when he will have time.

So it's boring.

Gao Longshen was really bored lying on the roof drinking alone.

But at this moment, Gao Longshen suddenly felt a familiar power.

This made her eyes shine.

So directly from the roof of Kifune Shrine, the real voice flew towards the Eastern Kanto region.

After flying here quickly, Gao Longshen saw the user of the power he was familiar with.

......

"Why did I come here? Of course it's because I felt a familiar power."

"Familiar power?"

"That's right, I didn't expect your kid to actually learn what Jingxia does. How does it feel to be able to control the wind and rain, kid?"

Changran can understand what Gao Longshen said.

His great-grandmother, Tianhu Jingxia, is a good friend of Gao Longshen. Gao Longshen naturally knows what abilities Tianhu Jingxia has, so if he uses the power that his great-grandmother once used, it is certain that the other party will be able to feel it.

"It feels okay. Although it doesn't increase much in strength, it allows me to master something to a certain extent."

Chang Ran answered like this.

"It seems that you will soon master the power that Jingxia once had. Only in this way can you be said to be a real Sky Fox, not just an illusion."

Gao Longlong seemed satisfied with Changran's current situation.

"Lord Gao Longshen seems to know something."

"I know a lot of things, but if you want to know, I won't tell you because now is not the time."

As Gao Longshen said this, he suddenly fell from the sky and turned into a mature woman with long purple hair and a long dress that did not belong to this era. The jade held by her dragon form also became a decoration on her chest.

"Lord Gao Longshen?"

"In this case, just call me Gao Yu. This is my name. Gao Longshen is just my name as a god."

Seeing Gao Longshen's determined look, Changran nodded in agreement.

"I understand, Lord Gaoyu."

"Wow, I didn't expect Lord Gao Longshen to look like this when he transformed into a human form."

Xiaobai, who was at Changran's feet, widened his eyes in surprise when he saw Gao Yu.

"Are you the Yuling beside that girl Kagura?"

"Yes, yes, Lord Gao Longshen, it's me!"

Xiaobai seemed very happy to be recognized by Gao Yu.

"We haven't seen each other for so many years, but you are still the same as before."

Gao Yi was a little happy to see an acquaintance.

Then he looked at Xiaoyu on Changran's shoulder. Xiaoyu was also staring at Gao Yi curiously.

"Your daughter seems to be very curious about what I look like."

"After all, she has never seen him before, right? She has only seen Lord Gao Yu in his true form."

Changran explained funnyly.

Then he turned to look at Arakawa next to him.

Gao Yu also looked at Arakawa next to him, with a smile on his face.

"Looks like you figured it out."

"Yes, I can see it already."

Changran looked at Arakawa and frowned.

"It was the Lord of Arakawa who caused all the water in the fields around Edo to be pulled away. He who controls the waters around Arakawa has such an ability, or in other words, he is the only one in the surrounding area who has such an ability."

"It's probably not just that. The fact that the fishermen on the beach didn't catch anything probably has something to do with the Lord of Arakawa."

The outlet of Arakawa will be Tokyo Bay in the future. Fishermen basically work there, and they will be affected to some extent by the Lord of Arakawa, the controller of Arakawa.

"Yes, your analysis is very accurate."

Gao Yu, who was beside him, was also sure that Chang Ran didn't say anything wrong.

"So what are you going to do about it?"

Yes, how to deal with it is a problem.

Changran was very confused.

Why did the always good Lord of Arakawa suddenly do this? Why did he drain the water from human fields? Why did he prevent fishermen from fishing normally? Did he really want to starve them to death as the villagers said?

This makes no sense. The Lord of Arakawa can be regarded as a being worshiped and worshiped by the villagers in the entire Arakawa Basin. Even though he has always been indifferent to those beliefs, he is still a worthy member of the gods.

And it only targets the real villagers of Edo. Maple Village where Changran is located is completely fine.

This is so weird.

"Why, didn't you think of how to deal with it?"

Gao Yu looked at Changran's frowning face, but he laughed.

"Lord Gao Yi, do you have any ideas?"

"I don't have any ideas. The other party is the Lord of Arakawa who has almost the same name as me. I don't want to provoke him."

However, Gao Yi did not say anything helpful to Chang Ran.

It seems that because the Lord of Arakawa also has the title of god, Gao Yu, the god of Tianjin, does not want to have trouble with the Lord of Arakawa, the god of Kunjin.

Changran turned his attention to the villagers behind him.

Unable to see Gao Longshen, they were watching the water in the fields that had finally accumulated due to rain disappear again, and their original happiness turned into despair again.

They probably didn't expect that the rain here in Changran wouldn't be able to help them.

"According to what they said, the area around Edo was affected afterwards, and there were no other problems. In other words, something happened here in Edo that made the Lord of Arakawa angry."

"It seems I have to go to Edo to check."

Also updated +21, 21 chapters are owed, bounties are offered for death, etc. It’s better to wait until next month~

Edo is an important town in the Kanto region and the most important area of ​​the Musashi Kingdom.

Because the Tengu clan has protected the central region for so many years, Edo has developed very well.

After so many years, Edo has not had any troubles with foreign monsters and monsters. The main reason is that there have been some battles between humans during the Warring States Period.

Because it is located in the Guangdong Plain, there is no natural danger to rely on. Musashi Country is relatively unlucky in terms of strategic position.

Fortunately, there is no Oda Nobunaga yet, so Musashi Country is considered stable for the time being.

Changran followed the villagers walking on the streets of Edo and looked at the situation of the commercial areas on the streets. As a commercial town, Edo now has many shops open for business and transactions are going on everywhere.

Passing through the shopping district, we arrived at the Arakawa River basin that flows through Edo.

Changran plans to investigate here what caused the Lord of Arakawa to suddenly become angry at the humans of Edo.

When I came to the edge of the Arakawa River, I found that it was a very ordinary small market, and there were no problems.

And there are no big problems in Arakawa.

This is very strange. Is it because the people of Edo no longer worship the Lord of Arakawa?

Since the Tengu clan protected this place, the residents of Edo have worshiped the Lord of Arakawa less and less. After all, they ignore you no matter how you worship, so they simply worship less and less. , compared to the Lord of Arakawa who never appears, Tengu is obviously much easier to communicate with.

What's more, there was also the miko Kikyo later.

But the Lord of Arakawa had never been interested in the humans who worshiped him. It was impossible for him to go into a rage and take away the water from the fields just because of this.

"what is it?"

The cumulonimbus clouds in the sky have been dispersed by Changran's power.

Gao Yi did not go back, but followed Changran with a smile on his face. He must have been bored and wanted to see how Changran would solve this incident.

Xiaoyu was lifted off Changran's body and held in her arms.

It feels like a mother holding her daughter.

It's probably because Gao Yu is a god, so Xiaoyu didn't feel disgusted by her aura. When Changran was picked up from his shoulders, she didn't resist much. Anyway, the two of them were invisible to ordinary people. existence, this makes Changran feel a lot more relaxed.

Changran moves much more freely without Xiaoyu on his shoulder.

Walking downstream along the Arakawa River, Changran saw a wooden bridge across the Arakawa River.

Edo is indeed divided into two sides by the Arakawa River in the middle, into the northeastern region and the southwest region.

If you want to communicate between the two sides, you need bridges or ships.

But ships were obviously not efficient enough, so bridges were what was most needed.

However, there is something wrong with this bridge.

Under the bridge, at the location of the bridge piers, are a large number of stones piled up there.

And there is also a large amount of gravel exposed downstream.

It feels like the entire water area has become much shallower starting from this bridge, the water surface has become open, the water flow has become gentle, and a large amount of sediment has settled.

Then on this basis, there are two bridges downstream. The situation between these three bridges is the same. The water flow area is expanded, the speed becomes gentle, and the water flow is very shallow, and people can even swim across it.

"These bridges...when were they built?"

Since he had never been to Edo often, Changran didn't know much about the situation in Edo. He only heard from Kikyo who had been to Edo that the meatballs here tasted very good.

He didn't know anything else. He didn't even know the name of Edo's daimyo or what he looked like.

When asked by Changran, the villagers responded quickly.

"Lord Shoran, the first bridge was built five years ago. At that time, the current daimyo succeeded to the daimyo position. Seeing that it was too troublesome to cross the river by boat, the bridge was built."

"Yes, we also participated in the bridge construction project at that time. We rolled the rocks collected from the distant mountains into the Arakawa River to use them as the foundation stones of the bridge piers."

The villagers' answers gave Changran a rough idea of ​​the situation.

"Arakawa's last part is like this. Is it all your fault?"

"Yes, Lord Changran."

"The daimyo asked us to do it, saying it would make it easier for everyone to get water, and it would also make it easier for women to wash their clothes."

Indeed, Changran can also see that the water flow has slowed down and the water level has become shallower. It will be much easier to clean things on the river bank. It will not be as troublesome as upstream. You have to be careful not to catch anything when you fall into the water. If it is stable, it will be washed away.

However, because of this, the flow rate of the river slows down, which has a great impact on the river, especially the impact location is the entire downstream of the river.

There are three bridges in the entire Edo City area from beginning to end. The last bridge is located not far from the mouth of the Arakawa River. Such a long area is still several miles away.

Changran seemed to have found the reason why the Lord of Arakawa was angry.

For the convenience of human life, the Edo area did not consider the thoughts of the Lord of Arakawa at all, and privately changed the lower reaches of the Arakawa Basin to what it is now, which directly affected Arakawa. As the Lord of Arakawa, he would naturally be angry.

Thinking of such Changran also smiled bitterly.

He suddenly felt that it was polite for the Lord of Arakawa to just retaliate against the residents of Edo.
