The spicy teacher of the halberd

“You’re not a little fat guy who came to eat mapo tofu during the day… Little brother? ”

This face Chang Wei is still a little familiar, it is the little fat man who eats mapo tofu in the restaurant during the day, and talks endlessly about shabu shabu and devil pepper.

It’s just a little fat man dressed in casual short clothes during the day, but now he is dressed as a samurai, and he is holding a simple katana that looks like a superb cultural relic at first glance.

“Ha, the store manager still remembers me.”

The little fat man smiled and looked Chang Wei up and down.

“I noticed you during the day, and the natural power in this restaurant emanates from you.”

He looked at Chang Wei with deep eyes.

“What is the origin of Your Excellency, is it the Great Onmyoji Master of the Hidden World, or did he also follow the footsteps of the Ghost King?”

Chang Wei looked straight at the little fat man’s serious eyes.

“I think I’m probably really involved in something.” Chang Wei sighed, “But I’m really not a Yin-Yang Master, and I don’t know any ghost king. ”

The little fat man looked at Chang Wei silently and shook his head again.

“I made a mistake, even if Your Excellency is an Onmyoji, I can’t casually ask about the identity of the adult. The power of nature is so rich but hidden in the world, you must have your own suffering. ”

He bowed solemnly to Chang Wei.

“The contemptible person is Genbu Palace, a ghost-seeking samurai in the Kyoto area, who came here to fight the ghost king and met Your Excellency.”

Ghost samurai? Ghost King? Chang Wei was confused again. Although I have loved to see some myths and legends since I was a child, I still can’t accept the appearance of grotesque things in front of my eyes.

Wait, Genbu Palace, this little fat man’s surname is Yuan?

Chang Wei hesitantly spoke: “That… Minamoto Yorimitsu is Your Excellency’s…”

“That’s right.” The little fat man nodded, “Yuan Laiguang is the ancestor of the contemptible people. ”

I’m a good guy!

The surname Minamoto can be regarded as the most famous aristocratic surname in the history of Neon, and the four main noble surnames from the Nara period to the Heian period are Minamoto, Hira, Fujiwara, and Tachibana, and most of the imperial court secretaries from the Nara period to the Edo period are also from these four families, collectively known as “Minamoto Hirato Orange Tachibana”.

In the Heian period, which was full of grotesque legends, the story between Genji and demons and monsters has been passed down to this day, and the most famous is probably the story of Minamoto Yorimitsu and his “four heavenly kings of Yoriko” – Watanabe Tsuna, Bube Yoshitake, Sakata Kintoki, and Usui Sadamitsu retreating to the youkai together.

Like the story of Bube Jitake and Kotori, the story of Watanabe Tsuna and Ibaraki Boyko, Sakata Kintoki… With the story of the House of Everything, Chang Wei is familiar with it and recited it backwards.

In particular, Yuan Laiguang designed a drunken group of ghosts, and the story of An Gang’s knife cutting off the head of the ghost king is even more well-known.

The full name of Angang Dao is Tongzi Che Angang, named for cutting off the head of the legendary Great River Mountain Ghost King Wine Swallowing Tongzi.

“Could it be that this one in your hand…” Chang Wei looked at the knife held by the little fat man, the graceful arc and the simple scabbard all reflected the extraordinary origin and long history.

“This is exactly the boy Che Angang that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Renren family, and the Renren is the rightful direct heir of the Genji family.”

I’m a good guy!

People with the source as their surname are not absent in Neon, but most of them are unrelated ethnic groups that were later fraudulently used. The descendants of the orthodox Genji are also mostly collateral clansmen, and the descendants of the direct lineage have long disappeared.

“We, the Genji clan, have been isolated from generation to generation, inheriting the duties handed down from our ancestors, and have made it our profession to be ghost warriors, and the heir of each generation of the head of the family is in charge of the boy Kian Gang.” Genwu Palace raised the sword in his hand.

“So, can you pull out the knife while shouting ‘Slip gold wow open cool crack’ for me to see?”

Yuanwu Palace looked at Chang Wei suspiciously, but still pulled out his sword and shouted again.

There is no imaginary momentum, although the sword flower trembles very dashingly… Chang Wei shook his head silently, deeply regretful.

Wait, ghost samurai?

“You said you still make a career as a ghost-wooing samurai?” Chang Wei looked at the samurai little fat man, “Then that man just now is a monster?” Now neon still has yokai? ”

“That’s no ordinary youkai.” Genmu Palace nodded, “He is our family’s old enemy. ”

“The old enemy of the Genji family…” Chang Wei’s face changed, and his tone was raised, “Swallow the boy? ”

Genmu Miya nodded.

“Impossible!” Chang Wei shouted, echoing on the silent commercial street, “Wasn’t the drunken swallowing boy cut off by your ancestor Genrai Hikaru, isn’t this boy Che’an Gang proof ?!” ”

Genwu Palace looked left and right at the street in the night, and said helplessly: “Let’s go inside and talk.” ”

The lights in the restaurant were dim, Yuanwu Palace was sitting on a chair, and Tong Zi Che An Gang was standing casually against the dining table, without the slightest momentum of a thousand-year-old antique.

Chang Wei silently looked at Yuanwu Palace, waiting for an explanation.

“It seems that you are not lightly tossed by him here.” Genrai looked at the hole in the wall and looked at it, “The power of the drunken devouring boy has also decreased.” ”

“Actually, the purpose of the drunken swallowing boy coming here to find you is probably to seize your natural power.”

“The force of nature? What is that? ”

“It seems that you are really not an Onmyoji.” Yuanwu Palace looked at Chang Wei who looked puzzled and shook his head.

“The force of nature is the power of the origin of the universe, the foundation of all material existence, and the power on which the Onmyoji relies for survival.”

“And monsters are born from people’s fear, and the power of fear is the source of their power. Gods, on the other hand, are different, gods are born from faith, and the source of their power is the power of faith. ”

“In fact, whether it is the power of fear or the power of faith, it can be called the power of awe, which comes from people’s fear of the unknown, the power of the spiritual world, and the power of idealism.”

And the force of nature, as the force of the material world, the power of materialism, coexists with the power of awe. As long as there is such power, the existence of gods and monsters will not be extinguished. At that time, the ancestor did cut off the head of the drunken swallowing boy, but he could not completely kill him. ”

“It’s just that people are gradually forgetting their belief in gods and their fear of monsters, making their power weaker and weaker. But that doesn’t mean they’re gone, so our family has the responsibility to monitor them. ”

“The gods have temples and incense to sustain themselves, but how many people are still afraid of the so-called monsters? Yokai who deliberately frighten and even persecute humans will be killed by families like ours. And it is not a panic that sensationalizes the whole country, and the power it brings is also limited. ”

“But without being feared, forgotten, losing all strength, there is only one ending.”

Genwu Palace looked at Chang Wei quietly.

“That’s disappearing.”
