I burn the sky in Kyoto

She looked at Li Wei and said, "Welcome home, brother."

Li Wei put away the oil-paper umbrella, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and stepped onto the wooden steps: "I'm back."

In the room, the spider warming by the fireplace sneezed violently. She only felt that the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a lot. She wrapped up the quilt again and wrapped herself into a ball, and then moved closer to the fireplace. .

Today, it is rare for Li Wei to cook in person, and he plans to use his ugly cooking experience in his previous life to cook a meal.

The staple food is potato stewed seaweed soup. Li Wei sewed up the recipe of miso soup here and stewed it in a pot, and then fried a small fish less than [-] centimeters long with a small amount of animal fat.

Although the level is not high, not even up to the standard of ordinary home-cooked food in the previous life, the family of three still eat very happily.

Coupled with a few potatoes baked by the spider as snacks, such a meal is a rare and sumptuous dinner for the most powerful nobles in Kyoto.

Such a small fish of [-] centimeters, which would be dismissed by anglers in the previous life as an air force, is already a stew that the Kyoto daimyo can only eat for a few days.

The three of them fell asleep until late at night.

The night sky was pitch black, and the snowflakes were still falling outside the house. The snow was not heavy, but it just couldn't stop, and it fell for several days in a row.

The flame in the fireplace has been extinguished, and now it is burning red charcoal, so the unfired charcoal will be warmed all night, and it will still be burning red until tomorrow.

However, a rustling sound sounded in the house, like the movement of some kind of abnormal creature.

Afterwards, Li Wei felt that he was completely trapped by something, entangled himself like an octopus.

"Don't make trouble, spider, there's something else to do tomorrow." Li Wei said slightly soberly, but at the same time he didn't care.

Since getting married, he has often been strangled awake at night, sometimes by Qianji, but more often by spiders, he is already used to it.

But this time, the thing that strangled his body was getting tighter and tighter, with no sign of loosening at all.

"Stop making trouble." Li Wei opened his eyes, ready to reprimand the spider, but the first thing he saw was that the entire room was completely covered with dense spider webs.

A giant coil of silk was formed on the beam of the house, and an eight-legged half-human spider ambushed on the giant web, and their bed was completely wrapped in a cocoon by the spider silk.

A half-human spider crawled quickly on the web, and 4 pairs of eyes glowed red in the dark night. She seemed very excited. The moment Li Wei woke up, she threw herself on Li Wei's body, her sharp teeth facing her. Biting Levi's neck.

"Ito!"

Li Wei directly called out the spider's real name, then grabbed her arm, held her in his arms, and kissed her.

The spider silk in the room was burned instantly at this moment, and the fanatic art precisely controlled the flame to burn all the spider silk, but did not hurt other items.

After taking Levi's blood, the spider began to gradually change back to a human form. She watched all this in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe what happened.

"What's the matter with you? Are you still awake?" Li Wei shook her to wake her up.

The spider looked at Li Wei, and for some reason, the corners of her eyes were moist, this woman who had no timidity even when facing death at the same time as Li Wei seemed to be holding back her tears, not letting them flow down: "I'm sorry, Husband, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

……

The spider moved out of Fujiwara Mansion and planned to move to Arashiyama, that is, to live in the same house that Li Wei used to live in.

This room is where he and Chihime (spider) got married. Even though they have moved to Fujiwara Prefecture now, the maidens from Arashiyama Taisha Shrine will come to clean this room every once in a while.

Originally, Li Wei thought there was nothing wrong with this, but the spider insisted on moving out of Fujiwara Mansion.

In fact, Li Wei will not be injured, but she is afraid of hurting Qianji.

And Li Wei came to the interceptor factory and began to read the books and books scanned by Eva.

Pay special attention to the records of the demons and the records of the net bride.

The Network Bride is a monster that has existed for nearly a thousand years. It is an older kind of monster, so there are not many records about it.

Net Bride, a legendary demon, originally meant "girl spider", also called Xinwura.It is mainly recorded in the book "Painting Hundred Ghosts Night Walk" left in the Heian period that it is a monster that transforms a spider into a human form.

People of the bridal family will fall in love with a human man without hesitation and seduce him. When the man is also tempted, he will have sex with the man and conceive offspring, and then take the man's head and eat it to supplement his nutrition.

In biology, the net new woman and another famous spider "black widow" are close relatives, just different families.

However, it is recorded in "Painting Hundred Ghosts at Night" that this is the instinct of the brides, and it can be regarded as a curse. .

Seeing this, Li Wei took a long breath and rubbed his temples, only to feel a headache.

"There's no way..." he said.

He realized that the spider should have been controlled by the demon's instinct in his sleep last night, and then instinctively ate his lover to supplement nutrition to give birth to the next generation.

This is an instinct engraved into the genes of the Netwives, and it can also be said to be a curse.

"Eva, analyze it, how to deal with it..." Li Wei felt tired, both mentally and physically.

"This is the selfish desire in the gene, like the instinct to sleep when you are tired, and to eat when you are hungry. It is a mechanical instruction compiled by the selfish gene for the purpose of racial reproduction. At least according to my knowledge level, Can't fix it," Eva said.

"Oh..." Li Wei let out a long sigh.

He may have to seek other methods. If there is no way in this world, then he can only hope that the other world can find a corresponding method, or the ability to solve this situation can be developed in the system.

"Mr. Li Wei, there may be a method you can try. According to the records, Susanoo's wife Qi Inada Hime was originally a fox demon. After taking the elixir, she became a god Qi Inada Hime. You can try it. This method." Eva's voice came.

"Wait... the elixir of death... Xu Fu... how did I forget this..." Li Wei thought of this, the legendary god in the reed plain, the legendary magic medicine that the first emperor couldn't ask for—— Elixir.

According to legend, the first emperor sent Xu Fu to the sea three times in search of the elixir, and the third time Xu Fu took thousands of boys and girls to an island in the East China Sea to hide, and then disappeared.

It is also said that Xu Fu actually found the elixir of immortality, but he did not take it back to the first emperor, but became a god after taking it himself, and then became the emperor of the earth in "Yingzhou". After a certain Chu person burned Xianyang to the ground Only then did he dare to come out again.

And the other protagonist in this legend, Qi Inada Hime, also known as Yaegihime or Yaegaki, has "Yakumo stand, Izumo Yaegaki, husband and wife love Yaegaki, and Yaegaki" in Ayawara's folk songs, among which " "Izumo Yaegengaki" is the ancient country of Izumo where Li Wei once fought the Yamata no Orochi.

Therefore, Qi Inada Ji is also known as Yae Ji or Yae Ji.

Li Wei's thinking was immediately opened. Since Qi Daotian Ji could take the elixir to get rid of her identity as a demon and become a god, and Xu Fu could also become a god through the elixir, then other people should be able to do the same.

"Thank you, Eva." Li Wei said, suddenly feeling full of throwing tiles, and after filling Eva's melting unit with liquid fire, he said before leaving, "Eva, help me pay attention to the issue of immortality." The records and news of the medicine, wait a moment, I will send someone to send over the classics obtained by the gang of nobles who ransacked the house, and help me look into the dead."

Leaving the interceptor factory, Li Wei rushed to Ninja Village, preparing to let the ninjas of the intelligence department have the power to search for news about the elixir. He even wanted to find the Kakyoin family and the Tuyumen family later. of the temple family.

Needless to say, the Tuyumen family, the descendants of Ape Seimei must have many records of Ape Seimei in the Heian period, and there may be news of the elixir there.

The Kakyoin family was named "Jijingin" in the Heian period, and the ending of the surname Zhongyuan refers to the monk temple family, which is also an ancient family.

Thinking of Kakyoin's family and Tuyumen's family, Li Wei thought, if Yiji hadn't been so paranoid at the time, maybe she could get a "grandmother" position in Tuyumen's family, so that Tuyumen's family could find a way to complete the operation. style.

After all, if it is really possible to be resurrected, the Tuyumen family should also want to revive Ape Seimei, after all, now the Tuyumen family inherits Ape Seimei's spells, there is no one out of ten, and they can only be maintained by playing with paper figurines and demon-breaking spiritual power The look of the family.

In addition, if it comes to relatives, Yiji is really a grandparent of the Tuyumen family, and the people in the direct line of the Tuyumen family should have more or less the blood of Yuyihu.

Quickly getting rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, Li Wei walked into Ninja Village, preparing to become the darkness of Kyoto again after being idle for several months.

"Spider..." At this moment, he saw a spider constantly searching for information.

It was the first time that she was so concerned about Ninja Village's information. In the past, she would clock in at work every day to catch fish, and then run home at noon to sleep.

"Husband...give me some time, I already have the prospect of the elixir..." she said, constantly flipping through some collected information.

Li Wei smiled, and the two seemed to think of being together.

He also began to help, looking for clues about the elixir, and the recent rumors about the elixir came from the Haneda family, that is, the family of Haneda who was about to come to Kyoto to do business.

"This is the only news about the elixir right now." Li Wei said, seeing the news about the caravan and their drama about the elixir in Shendu.

Li Wei smelled the smell of conspiracy. What a coincidence, everything was too coincidental. It seemed that someone secretly arranged a game. When he needed the elixir the most, there was news about the elixir, and it was even related to the elixir. The caravan is coming to the capital soon.

It was as if someone had expected that he would definitely need the elixir, and calculated the approximate time for people related to the elixir to come to him.

"The Haneda family...will it be Xu Fu's descendants..." Li Wei thought, because of the intertwined information and Li Wei's previous life memory, Xu Fu must be related to the elixir.

The Haneda family is not the descendant of Xu Fu, but also the descendant of those thousands of boys and girls.

However, he still decided to go to Haneda's house for a while, the soldiers came to cover up the water and soil, even if Xu Fu came personally, he would definitely make him come and go.

Li Wei felt that with his current strength, he couldn't compare to that alchemist who could only deceive the first emperor?

If he, Xu Fu, was really capable, he would have gone to fight for the world with the Overlord of Western Chu and the head of Weishui Pavilion.

Xu Fu, in fact, is just a dead bone in a tomb hiding outside.

Chapter 280: The Caravan Enters Beijing

In Ninja Village, the spider looked at all the clues related to the elixir, and she thought again of the conversation she had with Lan a few months ago.

Although she and Lan are just plastic sisters, she will not hesitate to stab Lan in the back during the battle to give Li Wei a chance, and she has no feelings for Lan, that mist demon who likes to disguise herself as a widow to deliberately seduce men, This approach also makes the spider feel sick.

But Lan's words on that day were still fresh in her memory.

After all, they are monsters, not human beings. Even if they really live a human life, the nature of monsters will destroy her peaceful life.

Just like this, she will suddenly lose her mind and want to eat her lover.

"No... there must be an elixir... I must have a way to get rid of my identity as a demon..." she murmured softly, and rummaged through the papers again.

It was hard for her to truly have her own home. She didn't need to face enemies and disasters every day, and she could live with someone she loved and who also accepted her.

She is afraid that everything she has now will disappear in a blink of an eye.

During the investigation, she also noticed the caravan, and then noticed the Haneda family, and then began to investigate along the records and clues of the Haneda family.

……

Today, a caravan begins to enter Kyoto.

Due to the weather itself, every household in Kyoto basically hides in the bed for the winter. Even the nobles are basically nestling in their respective mansions at the moment, holding their wives and concubines for entertainment.

Winter really shouldn’t be the time to do business, whether it’s for businessmen or customers. Only in the era when everyone can wear a padded jacket in later generations will winter be conquered by people.

Today, the Fujiwara family is very busy, very busy. Chihime Fujiwara went to deal with government affairs early in the morning, and the people in the Fujiwara family attached great importance to this business transaction.

After all, they are the main force responsible for recycling potatoes. The sharecroppers under the Fujiwara family are basically controlled by their families. Therefore, after a round of potatoes in their hands, basically about 10% of them go into their own pockets.

Corruption of about 10% is actually within the allowable range of Li Wei. He is not the kind of person who is particularly spiritually obsessed with cleanliness. If he works for him and takes 10% as a reward, Li Wei can accept it.

You can't always want the horses to run, and don't feed the horses. Besides, the people from the Fujiwara family also donated the surplus grain of the landlord's family to Li Wei during the great famine in Kyoto some time ago. He is now open to this corruption. Close one eye.

Of course, this is also the limit he accepts. As long as someone dares to exceed this number, a ninja will come to his house and invite him to drink tea immediately, and as long as it exceeds 20%, then tomorrow there will be a corpse tied to a stone and sink into Otsu Lake .

Because of the existence of ninjas, Li Wei could tell at a glance how many potatoes passed through their hands, and those who dared to make false accounts and those who dared to conceal the report were all clicked.

Therefore, the cruel official system similar to ninja is really a perfect blade for the ruler. After a hundred years, there will be a beggar emperor on the other side of the sea who will use this system to the extreme and establish Jinyiwei, East Factory and West Factory.

But even if only 10% of the share was embezzled, the people of the Fujiwara branch had obtained the surplus grain of the past few years, so this group of landlords began to have different thoughts after they were full of surplus grain.

There are many concubines, and there are many who go to Huajie every day to have fun, and then use potatoes to recycle some antique calligraphy and paintings, and there are also many gold, silver and jade articles.

Li Wei looked at all these, but he would not stop them. After all, every era must have its own system. In Kyoto, the key is to give priority to the development of productivity.

Let alone a more superior system in Kyoto now, in Li Wei’s view, it has almost just entered the feudal society, and the capital is still a fertilized egg. Under this feudal morality, these feudal landlords only think about taking concubines and Going to Huajie to play geisha can already be said to be a good citizen.

Under such circumstances, the entry of the caravan into Beijing made the group of separated people feel that the potatoes in their hands would be of great use all of a sudden, and everyone was gearing up to exchange for something better.
