I, Wang Ha, the Assassin of Three Red Warriors

"Eh? Really? Can we leave the garden tomorrow? Where are we going? Is it Heian-kyo?"

Yuyuko Saigyouji felt that the happiness came too suddenly, and she didn't expect to be able to eat delicious food in Heianjing so soon.

However, the mountain man shook his head.

"The goal this time is not the safe capital, I can't disclose the specific location yet."

Xixing Temple Yuyuko was a little disappointed when she heard the words, but she wasn't too depressed. Being able to leave the courtyard was enough for her to be happy for a long time.

"However, the rest of today's time can take you to Heianjing, which can be regarded as fulfilling your wish."

"Ah!? Grandpa Suzuki, you are so serious! Then I'll go change my clothes now and come back later."

Saying that, Youyouzi hid the Westward Demon, and quickly rushed into the house, his lively appearance was completely different from before.

Watching the girl leave, the old man of the mountain filled up the huge pit, dispelling the demonic and dead energy lingering in the courtyard, as well as the cage-like seal of the Buddhist gate.

With a casual move, several relics containing Buddha's light flew from all corners of the yard and fell into the palm of the mountain man.

After several years of wear and tear to maintain the seal, the relics are worn to varying degrees, and the most severely damaged relics are already full of cracks.

"All sentient beings live in the absence of life, and see birth and death in vain, so it is called reincarnation of life and death."

The old man of the mountain sighed, and wished all the monks who died generously to quell the disaster to achieve a positive result and ascend to the Western Bliss.

Now, their mission is over.

However, this surviving legacy still has the value of continuing to exert its residual heat.

"Western Goblin."

Hearing the call of the old man of the mountain, the Xixing Yao emerged from nothingness.

It noticed the relic in the hand of the old man of the mountain, and moved its body back with a little disgust.

Seeing the childlike temperament of the Westbound Demon, the old man of the mountain couldn't help laughing, and softly taught him a lesson.

"You can be regarded as inheriting the mantle of the master of Xixing Temple, so you shouldn't be so repulsive about Buddhism."

As he said that, the old man of the mountain clenched his fist and crushed the relic into powder, controlling the remaining dharma and vow power to wrap it towards the westbound demon.

"There is also the cycle of life and death in Buddhism, and its nature is not opposed to death. Although you are powerful in the way of death, you lack a deeper understanding of the meaning of death."

Xixing Yao quietly listened to the teachings of the old man of the mountain, suppressed his instinctive resistance and inherited the Dharma and vows, and followed the guidance of the old man of the mountain to try to understand the perception of the cycle of life and death in Buddhism.

"Buddha said: Everything is illusion."

"Buddha said: Destiny is created by oneself, form is born from the heart, and everything in the world is form."

"The Buddha said: All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew or electricity, and should be viewed in this way."

The Sanskrit sound is sung, and the meditation is deep.

Xixing Yao gradually sank in the kingdom of Buddhism, purged of bloodthirsty sins, and even tended to be saved.

"The thoughts of enlightened beings are good, but they are too assimilated, and people may fall for them accidentally."

The old man on the mountain thought of the transcendent Buddha sitting cross-legged on the ninth-grade golden lotus outside the Xingyue world.

There was a discussion between them.

"Hey—!"

Evening bells chimed.

The melodious and penetrating vibrating sound broke the westbound demon's mind that was about to sink, and made it wake up from the Buddha's kingdom.

"You must not lose yourself in the Dharma, and you must not accept the Dharma in its entirety. Go and understand the true meaning of death that belongs to you alone."

..............................

Yuyuko Saigyouji put on the most beautiful clothes.

It was a light blue kimono with sporadically embroidered cherry blossoms and white patterns on the hem.

The girl didn't have much clothes, and the wardrobe in the bedroom was empty, which didn't give her too many choices, but the frugal kimono she wore brought out a quiet and ethereal aura.

Standing in the slightly dilapidated courtyard, Youyouzi raised her hand to tie her short hair around her ears, and looked at the old man of the mountain and Soul Yaoji with a smile.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the branches of the Xixingyao tree, which was quietly standing aside, swayed slightly with the wind.

Dots of cherry pink petals fluttered in the air, circling around the girl in the courtyard.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him like a world-famous painting, the old man of the mountain cast a approving look at Xixing Yao.

Xi Xing Yao obviously felt some joy from the old man of the mountain, and also felt the boss's appreciation for his behavior, so even the trunk straightened up a little bit.

The imperceptible evil spirit spreads in the air, guiding the movement of the petals in the air.

Even a few flying birds made of cherry blossoms appeared ingeniously and landed on Yuyuko's hands, interacting with the girl vividly.

Holding the lifelike cherry blossom bird in her palm, Yuyuko Saigyouji giggled, and carefully stretched out her fingers to tease it.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Soul Soul's jealous mood is very complicated.

Although Xi Xing Yao had never hurt Youyouzi in normal times, he had never played with the eldest lady in such a gentle manner.

This appearance, rather than a cruel and bloodthirsty monster, might as well be called a lively and mischievous flower elf.

Although the animals transformed by the cherry blossoms are very interesting, Yuyuko Saigyouji is obviously more looking forward to the thousands of rivers and mountains that can be seen after walking out of the courtyard.

The cherry blossom bird in her hand was released, and the girl walked over on clogs, and the crisp sound of clogs colliding with stone slabs echoed in the quiet courtyard.

Youyouzi of Xixing Temple slowly came to the gate of the courtyard, looked at the old man of the mountain and Yaoji standing outside the courtyard, took a deep breath, and raised his foot to step over the high threshold.

The clogs landed on the ground outside the courtyard, and the girl had a bright smile that couldn't be concealed.

Starting today, she, Yuyuko Saigyouji, is free! ! !

"Grandpa, I'm ready, when are we going?"

"It's not too late, we can leave now, and go to Ping'an capital as the first stop?"

"Well, Heianjing. It is said that it is the most prosperous and lively place, and I have always wanted to see it."

The old man of the mountain nodded, raised his hand a little in the air, and instantly moved in space.

A six-pointed star-shaped magic circle spun and emerged, and white light flashed, taking him and Yuyuko Saigyouji away into the courtyard.

Ping An Jing.

In front of the gate of Yinyang Liao, there was a lot of voices.

Compared with other departments and institutions of the imperial court, the Yinyang Liao whose main task is to fight against monsters is mostly deserted.

After all, onmyojis don't need to go to court to get involved in political affairs, that's not their duty.

Therefore, except for a fixed few days a month, most onmyojis will stay at home and practice independently.

Either cultivate a relationship with a new-style god, or hone a new trick with an old-fashioned god, or simply eat, drink, have fun and dawdle without seeking to make progress...

Besides Dianmao Day, there is another time when a large number of people will gather, and that is when the Onmyoji leads the demon-eliminating team to prepare for a trip.

It is certainly one aspect to come to see you off, but more importantly, it is to come to meet friends or acquaintances.

Because, no one knows whether this farewell will be the last time we meet, and when we meet again, we will be separated from each other.

In this dangerous age where monsters are rampant, going out to work for the monster removal team is like drawing a lottery.

Sometimes the monsters you encounter are not very strong, but you can naturally complete the work easily and safely.

And sometimes when one is unlucky and encounters a big monster, it is natural for everyone to go on the road together.

If you simply run into monsters who are not pleasing to humans, then your luck is actually good.

At the very least, there is still a corpse that can be barely pieced together.

But if you run into a monster that likes to eat people, then there will be no bones left. It goes without saying what will happen after being beaten by a monster.

However, the above situations do not need to worry about in this trip.

After all, Yasushi Tsuchimikado personally led the outing to eliminate demons this time, and traveling with Mr. General Affairs gives him a sense of security.

Unless it is really unlucky and encounters more than one big monster.

Otherwise, so far, no team led by a top onmyoji has ever been completely wiped out.

Therefore, the atmosphere in front of Yin Yang Liao is quite relaxed now.

Instead of friends supporting each other and crying bitterly like usual, they almost cried for each other.

Accompanied by noisy and mixed sounds, the convoy parked in front of the gate of Yinyangliao was ready to go.

Standing in front of the gate of Yinyangliao, Taiqin Tuyumen maintained his usual solemn expression, not talking or smiling.

The old man was wearing a standard onmyoji costume, holding a bat fan made from the remains of a big monster in his hand.

Behind him, a large group of onmyojis who accompanied him this time, including He Maocairen and Tsuchimikado Yuantora, stood out in a row.

In addition, there are a large number of warriors recruited by major Onmyoji families. Most of these people are used to do odd jobs and act as guards.

After Taiqin Tuyumen showed up, the surroundings of Yinyangliao gradually became quiet.

A man in official clothes trotted over from the convoy and saluted Tsuchimikado Yasuki respectfully.

"Master Tsuchimikado, everything is ready, please show me."

Tuyumen Taiqin glanced around, nodded and said: "Then let's go, first go to the palace to join the team of Her Highness Zao Nu."

Following Taiqin Tuyumen's order, the Onmyoujis boarded the car in groups of three and four.

At the same time, in front of the resplendent palace.

A mighty luxury convoy parked in the square in an orderly manner.

The size of its team is more than ten times larger than that of Yinyangliao's team, both in terms of number of people and the number of vehicles.

Except for those maids who are responsible for serving Zao Nu's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and soldiers who hold swords and serve as bodyguards.

There are also teams of priests in black hats and white clothes, and witches holding imperial coins shuttle between the cars.

And these people are the real bodyguards sent by Emperor Toba to Yakumo Lan, a group of demon exorcists who practice Shinto.

The emergence of Shinto is far longer than Yin and Yang.

As early as in ancient times, human beings had not mastered the method of fighting monsters.

In order to survive, human beings offered their beliefs and sacrifices to the gods, and the gods came forward to protect the weak human race.

However, the energy of the gods is also limited, and it is difficult to take into account all aspects of prayers of believers.

Therefore, the gods selected believers with pure and firm beliefs.

Give it strength and make it a spokesperson for yourself in front of believers.

As time progresses, as well as the improvement of various systems and changes in customs, finally the spokesperson of the gods evolved into priests and witches living in the shrine.

Today, the age of the gods is a thing of the past.

The power of priests and witches has been greatly weakened, and they are overtaken by the emerging Onmyoji.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and shrines in various places are still one of the important forces to fight against monsters and protect the people.

Even in this huge group of shrines, there are several surviving righteous gods hidden in some houses, such as Moriya Shrine.

Standing on the tower of the imperial palace, Emperor Toba looked down at the busy scene below.

The ministers and military commanders all saw the luxurious motorcade in front of the palace, and each made a judgment about the status of Zaonome in Emperor Toba's heart - Emperor Toba's favor for Zaonome was genuine.

Otherwise, His Majesty would not have dispatched nearly one-third of the priests and maidens in the shrine to protect the safety of the algae girl.

Regarding Emperor Toba's arrangement, Yakumo Lan thanked Ron with a smile on the surface, but in her heart she scolded Nine-Tailed Fox.

You know, she still has tasks ordered by Master Zi.

With so many priests and witches around her, how could she sneak out and act alone.

"Forget it, let's figure out a way then."

Yakumo Lan calmed down after being sulky for a while, and decided to act according to the situation when the time came. If it didn't work, he would start to make some plans to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

"Anyway, there aren't those troublesome old immortals among these people, so Tsuchimikado Taikin over at Yin Yang Lao needs extra attention. Besides, I can still make use of my current status, so I don't have to worry about finding opportunities."

Everything was ready, and the Yinyangliao team arrived in front of the palace.

Tsuchimikado Yasuchika led everyone out of the car to say goodbye to Emperor Toba, and patted his chest to ensure that the safety of Her Highness Zaomee would be protected during this trip.

Adhering to the self-cultivation of an actor, Ai Yakumo showed a reluctant look when bidding farewell to Emperor Toba, and then she boarded the largest car in the middle of the team.
