I, the young onmyoji

"So, just because I called you once, you think I'm as easy to be fooled as I am?"

"Forget it, let's stop playing like this, let's just talk about it."

Qingming was helpless by Changran and skipped the topic.

Changran also took back the topic at the right time.

"Tell me, if there is anything you want me to do, my brother's body is worse now than mine was before. If there is anything, I should take care of it first."

Seeing Changran being so direct, Qingming also explained.

"Changran, you know, we Japanese local monsters generally like to be led by powerful monsters, so Hyakki Yakou said that it is the leader of the monsters who moves with the monsters who are willing to follow him. Of course, a long time ago it was really called the Hundred Demons Night Parade, but now that Onmyoji is so powerful, the so-called Hundred Demons Night Parade in Heian Kyo is nothing more than a gathering of miscellaneous ghosts."

"Although there is no particularly powerful being among them, they are still happy to do so, but the appearance of Qiongqi has changed the scene."

"Qiongqi is much more powerful than them. While making them afraid, they also hope that there will be a powerful monster on their side to fight against them, so some changes occurred. This is what I divined last night the result of."

"You mean?"

Changran frowned.

Qingming tapped Changran's chest.

"That's right, the location of the mutation is on Dajiang Mountain. As a disciple of the Demon Slayer, there is no one more suitable candidate than you, Changran."

Dajiangshan, speaking of Dajiangshan, in this era, everyone can immediately think of a name.

Drunk boy!

That is an existence that stands at the pinnacle of the ghost clan and even the pinnacle of Japanese monsters.

One of the three legendary monsters in Japan.

Ghosts are a clan of power, and each one is very powerful. A few decades ago, there was a ghost in Dajiangshan that was much stronger than the average ghost clan. He led a group of ghosts to live there. They made palaces with steel and sneaked into rich people at night. He stole the family's treasures and took away the women and children as food in their mouths. Because he was addicted to alcohol, he was called Shuten Doji.The Shuten boy who eats human flesh is frightening, and news of this has spread to the Heian capital.At this time, Ikeda Nayan's daughter disappeared.The result of divination by Abe Seimei, who was quite young at the time, was that he was captured by the ghost of Oeyama.

Emperor Ichichi, who was very worried about the development of the situation, ordered the great general Minamoto no Yorimitsu, a very famous hero at that time, to conquer Shuten Doji.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu took his Four Heavenly Kings, Watanabe Tsuna, Sakata Kintoki, Bubu Jiwu, and Usui Sadamitsu to crusade.

With the help of the sacred wine obtained from the shrine that can suppress the demon clan, they successfully killed Shuten Doji. Minamoto Yorimitsu was called the Demon Slayer, and his sword that killed Shuten Doji was also officially named. Cutting An Tsuna for the boy was a demon-slaying sword, and now it is in the hands of Masaran. Masaran, who is the disciple of Minamoto Yorimitsu, is the disciple of the demon-slayer.

This time, the change caused by Qiongqi, through Abe Seimei's divination, happened to be in this great country where legendary stories are recorded.

Obviously, the change this time should be related to ghosts.

The Demon Slayer is already old. Minamoto no Yorimitsu and the Four Heavenly Kings are now retiring at home. Although their fighting ability is still strong, it is obviously impossible to travel long distances to investigate. Therefore, as the disciple of the Demon Slayer, at the same time Chang Ran, who is also an Onmyoji, is the best candidate.Oh, by the way, there is another one on the label, that is Abe Seimei’s grandson!

"Then, I'm off."

After breakfast and Yulu Shu preparing dry food for a few days, Changran went out fully armed with Yingcao.

During the period when Qiongqi will not appear for the time being, Heianjing is defended by Abe Seimei, while Masahiro is practicing peace of mind to recover himself.

According to Qingming's idea, when Changran comes back after completing this side-related investigation, Changhao's body has almost recovered. At that time, the two of them can try to fight Qiongqi. This is what he plans to do. An experience for both of them.

After walking out of Luocheng Gate, Changran turned around and headed northwest.

Oeyama is located in the north-southwest of the island, northwest of Heian-kyo, with another Mount Fukuchi in the middle. Mount Fukuchi is also some distance away from Heian-kyo, but for Changran, this distance is not a problem with his foot strength. , we should be able to get there in one day.

As long as you climb over Mount Fukuchi, you can see the great rivers and mountains.

On the flat ground, there was no useful onmyoji, so Changran had no choice but to walk. After all, horses were only owned by generals. The horses in Japan were called young. Didn't you notice that all the carts were pulled by oxen?

We walked northwest for most of the day, and finally arrived at the foot of Fuzhi Mountain in the evening.

He directly found a big rock and jumped on it to sit down. He took out some rice balls made by Lu Shu himself from the bag to satisfy his hungry stomach.

Of course, not only do you eat it yourself, but you also take a small piece for Yingcao to eat.

This little plant-based monster, oh no, is now a shikigami. She doesn't need to eat, just bask in the sun, but Changran is not used to eating by herself every time, and Yingcao Looking at it again, I felt very guilty, so every time I ate, I would give some to Yingcao.

Fortunately, Yingcao seems to be very interested in human food and likes it very much, so even if she doesn't need to eat, every time Changran gives her food, she will be very happy to hold it with both hands and slowly use her small mouth to Nibbling on it, like a super small foodie.

And what can I say, the way this little guy eats is really cute. His little mouth bulges out, and he gnaws on it bit by bit, just like a little hamster.

After everyone finished eating, they drank some tea brought out in a bamboo cup, and Changran was on the road again.

Wait, wearing a ponytail, carrying a samurai sword, and a bamboo cup, I am alone outside. This sense of immediacy can be perfected if I add the words "Hasa Gee~".

The sun was slowly sinking below the horizon. Chang Ran did not plan to spend the night at the foot of Mount Fukuchi. He wanted to go to the foot of the other side.

But it is obviously impossible for ordinary people to climb a mountain overnight, but Changran is not an ordinary person, isn't he?

Just like what he said to Suan at the beginning, Onmyoji can feel underground spiritual veins. In Seimei's Onmyoji, there is a method of using spiritual veins to move at high speed.

[Yu Step] is a method that allows Onmyoji to sneak into the spiritual veins and move quickly along with the spiritual veins.

Changran knows all the Yin and Yang techniques, so he naturally knows how to do this [Yu Step].

Spiritual veins are actually found almost everywhere on the earth, whether it is the Lingfeng outside Heianjing or Heianjing.

However, in plain areas, the number of spiritual veins moving is small and the flow rate is slow. In mountainous and forest areas where there are many living creatures, the spiritual veins are much richer and the flow rate of spiritual veins is much faster.

Such is the case with Fukuchiyama.

Feeling the spiritual veins under his feet, he selected one of the spiritual veins that would allow him to quickly climb over Mount Fukuchi, and Changran dived in directly.

Follow the flow of spiritual veins and head towards the top of the mountain.

Then when he was about to reach the mountainside, he was suddenly thrown out by the spiritual veins.

Adjust your position in the air so that your feet are on the ground.

But after landing, he found that his feet were stepping on thick snow.

"Snow?"

This strange phenomenon made Changran feel confused for a moment. He raised his head and found that the entire mountain was covered with snow, and heavy snow was still falling in the sky.

"What's going to happen, this season, it will snow? And such heavy snow, you can't see it at all down there..."

"Could it be that it's a barrier!"

The only thing that can be explained is the barrier.

When I was at the foot of the mountain, I saw nothing unusual about Mount Fukuchi. However, when I tried to climb over the mountain through the spiritual veins, I was thrown out of the spiritual veins because I hit the barrier. Then I entered the barrier and saw the true appearance of Mount Fukuchi.

But only gods can achieve such a large barrier, just like the Gaolong God of Lingfeng.

In other words, this is the barrier established by the mountain god of Mount Fukuchi!

While Changran was analyzing, the wind and snow suddenly became stronger.

No, it wasn't that the wind and snow got stronger, but that the snow turned into huge ice cubes in the sky, and then fell in large numbers towards Changran.

Snow Maiden!

Looking at the falling ice in the sky, Changran immediately thought of this existence.

They are monsters in the mountains. Although they are called monsters, they are more inclined to exist as elves, because they are servants of the mountain god and control the wind, snow and winter in the mountains. They are very powerful beings, although they are not as powerful as Shuten Douji. Famous, but also extremely powerful.

He habitually rolled several times in succession on the snow, narrowly dodging the ice falling from the sky.

"and many more!"

After rolling over, Changran immediately shouted.

"I am not the enemy!"

Snow maidens are servants of the mountain god, so they generally do not attack humans on their own initiative. If they suddenly attack themselves, they may not understand the situation clearly, so they take action.

Sure enough, no attack came again, and even the wind and snow became a little lighter.

Vaguely, Chang Ran could see a figure appearing in the wind and snow above.

As the figure slowly approached, Changran could see the other person's whole face clearly.

He was wearing a snow-white kimono, his white and black hair almost reached his knees, he had yellow circled eyes, and a cold expression on his face.

Changran could see the other person clearly, and the other party could naturally see Changran clearly. But after seeing Chang Hao's appearance, she frowned.

"A human that can see me? Is it an Onmyoji..."

"Yes, I'm an onmyoji."

Changran confirmed.

"What's Onmyoji doing in Fukuchiyama?"

Yuki-onna immediately asked.

"My destination is not Fukuchiyama, I just want to climb over Fukuchiyama and go to Oeyama on the opposite side."

Changran also directly answered the other party's question.

Yuki-onna is not a monster with malicious intentions towards humans, so as long as she makes it clear, everything will be fine.

"Dajiangshan?"

But Changran's purpose seems to have attracted Xue Nu's attention.

"Are you here because of the recent events in Dajiang Mountain?"

"Do you know what happened on Dajiang Mountain?"

Changran was a little happy.

"Yes, an Onmyoji discovered some changes in Dajiang Mountain through divination, so I am here to investigate and resolve the changes. If you know the relevant situation, can you tell me?"

Xue Nu looked at Chang Ran and did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a while.

After staring at each other in silence for a while, the snow girl spoke.

"follow me."

Turn around and head towards the top of the mountain.

Changran also breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his legs to follow.

The wind and snow continued to fall, but they avoided Chang Ran. It was obvious that this was a deliberate arrangement by the snow girl.

But even so, the snow on the ground was still too deep, so Changran's walking speed was still greatly affected, but he tried his best to keep up with the speed of the snow girl.

Looking at the way the snow girl moved in front of him, Changran suddenly felt envious.

"She looks like she's floating on the snow. This way of moving is so convenient."

Yes, the way the snow girl moves is to move against the snow surface. It looks like she is floating, but she is actually floating.

Follow the snow girl all the way to the top of the mountain.

The coldest place on Mount Fukuchi, and also the highest place, where you can see the mountains and rivers next door.

However, when Changran saw the big rivers and mountains opposite, he was immediately shocked.

"This is!"

Opposite Mount Fukuchi, the distant Ojiang Mountains were completely shrouded in darkness. Through the huge wind and snow, one could clearly see the large area of ​​darkness, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and spreading to a large area in all directions.

"That's evil spirit."

The snow girl finally spoke again.

"A despairingly huge evil spirit."

"What the hell happened here?!"

Changran clenched his fists.

"I don't know. I only know that starting from a month ago, demonic energy began to appear here, and it became larger and larger. It covered the entire country and spread to the surrounding areas."

The snow girl just shook her head expressionlessly.

"I was ordered by the mountain god to stop the spread of the evil spirit, so I rolled up a blizzard in the barrier erected by the mountain god, causing Mount Fukuchi to be frozen. While preventing the spread of the evil spirit, it also prevented others from going up the mountain or even crossing Fukuchiyama to the big mountain. The direction of the country."

"But you Onmyojis are an exception."

"Is that why you brought me here?"

A wry smile appeared on Changran's face.

"That's right, because the mountain god said that we don't care about the things that only human onmyojis do to purify monsters."
