The Troubles of the Holy Maiden [Comprehensive]

Chapter 109 Journey to the Underworld

"Oh...this..." The fan in Qingming's hand suddenly swayed quickly, and the cool wind blowing up his long bangs flew wildly.

"What is this?" Fran asked Qingming sideways.

"This...it's a long story." Seimei glared at Ibaraki Doji who was glaring at him, and stopped abruptly.His eyelids were slightly drooping, and there was no abnormality on his white face like jade, but the ears hidden between the long silver hair were stained a little red.

"Pfft..." Fulan saw that Qingming was really embarrassed, and she didn't intend to ask any more questions, but she just teased: "Ha, you also know that it's embarrassing, then you know that I am standing in your family's ancestral hall, listening to Patriarch Tuyumen's speech for me. How embarrassing is it for a warm introduction?!"

"Hmph, he's embarrassed just because of his thick skin?" Ibaraki, who was standing aside, curled his lips in disdain, looked down at Seimei, and sarcastically sarcastically.

"Oh..." Qingming narrowed his phoenix eyes and raised a big smile at the corner of his mouth, "In terms of thick skin, I can't compare to chasing Jiu Tun and stalking him for hundreds of years." What about someone! Why, Shuten-douji doesn’t want to dominate you anymore?”

"You bastard!" Ibaraki Doji didn't say too much about Seimei, and he was so angry that he wanted to do it.

"Qingming!" Jiu Tun, who suddenly appeared, leaned lazily on a tree not far away, and said coldly: "In other people's territory, you'd better restrain yourself!"

Qingming's squinted eyes suddenly opened, and his round pupils instantly elongated into vertical pupils of beasts, and two sharp canine teeth were faintly visible between the slightly parted thin lips.

"Hehe... so what if the two of you join forces, do you think I will be afraid?" Qingming glanced at the two big monsters, and said softly with some ambiguity: "Speaking of which, you are really good brothers, don't you even... Can I share it too?"

When Qingming's words fell to the ground, the aura among the Three Demons became more dignified, with a hint of tension.

Looking at the three big monsters who inexplicably formed the war triangle, Fran couldn't help rubbing her temples, wondering what kind of rift had happened between them in the past 500 years.Obviously, 500 years ago, they could cooperate with each other to save Heian-kyo, but 500 years later, it turned into a situation where they could fight within a few minutes of meeting.

"Please wait a moment!" Fulan had to interrupt the confrontation between the three big monsters.

All three eyes fell on Fran's body, and for no reason, Fran felt a little tingling.

'Wait...why should I be guilty? ! After complaining about herself in her heart, Fran said: "Seimei, I ask Ibaraki to contact you. On the one hand, I want to see an old friend, and on the other hand, I want to trouble you with something." After she finished speaking, she turned to Ibaraki, and continued : "Ibaraki, if you don't like Seimei appearing in your territory, I can talk to him outside Dajiangshan."

Ibaraki Doji frowned slightly, he glanced at Seimei, and said in a deep voice: "Don't bother, just stay here, I'll arrange a place for you."

Qingming opened the fan again, as if nothing had happened, still shaking the fan with a smile: "Then I'll be fine."

"Hmph!" Ibaraki snorted coldly, and didn't say anything more.On the other side, Shuten leaning on the tree took a deep look at Seimei, and then disappeared.

---------------

In the empty tea room, only Fulan and Qingming were left sitting opposite each other. Even the Sanriyue Zongjin, who had always been hanging around his waist, was sealed by Fulan and placed in the space.

The fragrance of tea is wafting, and through the white mist floating on the tea soup, Fulan watched Seimei who is pouring tea elegantly. She only felt that this scene was strange and familiar, as if she had returned to Heian-kyo 500 years ago.

At that time in Abe’s mansion, Seimei was sitting on the porch with a smile and cooking tea, and Hongye was holding a small plate of dim sum on the tea table. Outside the window, Kagura in red was running past with a smile in his arms holding a takraw ball, followed by Xiaonao Xiao Bai.At that time, the tea court was quiet and the years were quiet.

Now, Qingming is still the same Qingming, but not the former Qingming. The animal pupils exposed in the confrontation just now made Fran realize that even if Qingming looks like a human again, even if he still uses Yin Yang, he is already a human being. Big demon.

'Speaking of which, since Seimei is already a big demon, then he can become the main body, what is the main body like?He is young in the monster clan, and the sky fox grows slowly. In other words, is he a fluffy little white fox? '

'It's kind of...cute. '

While Fulan was thinking wildly, Qingming made tea for Fulan and asked softly, "Ji Jun, is there anything I can do for you?"

Flan picked up the tea, organized her words, and said slowly, "Qingming, I don't know, do you still remember Tokena?"

Seimei paused, and said after a while: "Remember, he was originally forged by Sanjo Zongjin for the Ootengu, but he has been following your Odachi Fusangshin since then."

Fran nodded, put down the tea in her hand, and explained: "Qingming, you are one of the people who know my true identity best. Presumably, you should also have some guesses about the relationship between Tokima and me."

Qingming nodded, and said, "I speculate that he was your former summoner, who used a special method to become Fusangshen. After all, the big sword that was just forged would not produce Fusangshen. His Divine power and martial arts are also somewhat abnormally strong."

Fran sighed, and said: "You guessed it right, Toriken is my former summoner. He... had already passed away, but he didn't know how to operate it, and unexpectedly crossed the barrier of time and space and became a Sword Fusangshen. Feijian has a stubborn personality, but he has a strong ability to act. He is ruthless to others and ruthless to himself. Although I always despise him for trouble, I can’t really ignore him completely. After all, he came here because of me. To this world which is completely foreign to him..."

Qingming on the side first pursed his lips, and then said with a smile: "Oh, a genius who can break the boundary between life and death as a mortal, and even cross the barriers of the world and rules to gain rebirth, why are you worried about him? ?”

Fran showed a self-deprecating wry smile: "Maybe I'm used to it... It stands to reason that Feijian is not young anymore, and he was old enough to be a grandfather before he died, but in my heart, he is still the same cold-faced person as before." A stubborn young man with a hot heart, clumsy tongue, and who can't even speak for himself." Fran rubbed her forehead and sighed: "It's fine if he can live a good life, and I can feel at ease. I wanted to keep him here, but now... I can't leave him alone."

Qingming frowned slightly, and asked, "What happened to Feijian Palace?"

Fran shook her head and explained: "I just don't know what's wrong with him. There is no news about him in the Yang world. I went to find another sword that Zongjin forged back then, Mikazuki Zongjin, but he told me It is the Imaki sword, which was enshrined in the Kuramayama Shrine, and later became a short sword, which was given to Minamoto Yoshitsune, and now it is missing... You say, how can I feel at ease about this."

After hearing Fulan's narration, Qingming twirled the teacup in his hand, and asked: "Three Riyue Zong is close, and Fusangshen was born, and now the Yang Realm can still produce Fusangshen?"

Fran was stunned for a moment, and explained: "When I found Sanri Yuezong, it was very close to formally forming Fusangshen, so I pushed it with spiritual power, prompting it to form Fusangshen in advance, but Ling The body is not stable and needs to be cultivated.”

Qingming frowned, and suddenly asked without thinking: "Lan Ji, have you seen other swords of the same period, have you formed a fusangshen reaction?"

Fulan didn't understand Qingming's meaning, but she still replied truthfully: "I didn't pay attention to this." After finishing speaking, Fulan didn't want to continue the topic of mourning, but asked directly: "Qingming, why did I come to see you?" I want to ask about Feijian, after I left that year, you should know something about Feijian's whereabouts."

Qingming was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Back then, I conveyed the words you left him to Feijiandian, and then he left. A few years later, Zong Jin came to me, also wanting to ask if I knew Where is Feijian Temple? At that time, I saw the Taidao Sanriyue brought by Zongjin, which he built for you. After knowing that you were not there, Zongjin left. At that time, I just finished the soul fusion, I couldn't take care of myself, and I didn't pay too much attention to these things. I don't know much about what happened later..." Qingming looked up at Fran, and then said: "However, it is unlikely that the Tobima is the Jinjian. If the Tobima is the Jinjian, Then why did Zong Jin come to me to ask about the whereabouts of Tobima? Isn’t this sword enshrined in the Kurama Mountain Shrine by him?”

After hearing Qingming's words, Fulan's heart was shocked: "Yes, your reasoning is correct. But why did Sanriyue tell me that the sword today is Togama?"

Qingming shook his head and said softly: "Then I don't know, maybe, he recognized Jinjian as Feijian Temple, but at that time, Jinjian was unlikely to also form Fusangshen, this feature is still obvious maybe... Sanriyue Zongjin lied to you."

"Lied to me? Why?" Fulan was even more confused. If San Riyue lied to herself...but he had no reason to lie to herself.

Qingming chuckled: "Well, who knows, it's all about knowing people, faces, and hearts. If you just want to confirm whether Feijian Temple is the current sword, I'm afraid you still need to find the big tengu. But the big tengu didn't come to the underworld back then, so, big tengu The whereabouts of the Tengu will still fall in the Yang Realm."

Fran was helpless, wondering why it was so difficult to find a knife from 500 years ago.Thinking of this, Fulan asked again: "Qingming, can you divination to the whereabouts of the door?"

This time it was Qingming's turn to smile wryly: "Ji Jun, after all, Feijian Temple is considered a god, and its divine power is stronger than that of ordinary gods. Divination of gods generally will not succeed." After finishing speaking, Qingming comforted the somewhat disappointed Fran: "You don't have to worry. Since the Tokaijian Temple is not Jinjian, it means that something bad happened to him. Moreover, since he was able to cross the barrier of the world, he may have left this world. .If you have a fate, you will definitely meet again. If the fate is broken, there is no need to force it."

Fran nodded, agreeing: "You're right, I'm the one who lost my face, I hope Torima is safe. Thank you Qingming, I feel much better."

Qingming smiled and shook his head: "There is no need to be polite between us! Speaking of which, we may not have seen each other for a long time, do you know that I have the honor to invite you to my place as a guest?"

"Eh? Won't it bother you?" Fran asked back, surprised by Seimei's sudden invitation.

Qingming smiled gently, and said very naturally: "No matter what time, you will not disturb me. Unlike Dajiangshan, there are fairies with gentle temperament and close to humans, as well as humans and witches, and the environment is relatively peaceful ,you will like it."

Noticing that Fran was hesitant, Qingming continued, "I have a direct passage to the Yang Realm, and I'll just take you back when the time comes. I think there should be someone you miss in the Yang Realm, and it's yours this time." Summoner?"

Fran thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes...she is..."

"It's Hongye's reincarnation, right?" Qingming answered directly.

Fran sighed: "That's right."

Qingming lowered his eyelids, holding a teacup in his hand, and said with a half-smile: "You, you are really pampering the summoner..."

---------------

"Are you going to Abe Seimei's place? No, you didn't take what I told you to heart?!" Knowing Fran's plan, Ibaraki objected strongly.

Fran looked at Ibaraki who was jumping, and said helplessly: "I said Ibaraki, you are not my old mother, so you don't need to control me like this."

Ibaraki Doji walked back and forth anxiously, muttering as he walked, "What kind of ecstasy soup did Seimei Abe give you..." He turned around, grabbed Fran's shoulder, and said seriously: "Didn't I tell you? Don't trust me." Abe Seimei! Do you still want to deliver it yourself?!"

Fran pushed Ibaraki Doji's hand away, and said thoughtfully: "Ibaraki, I also said that I will judge for myself whether I trust Seimei or not. You always say not to trust Seimei, but you..." Fran looked at Seimei seriously. To Ibaraki Doji, he asked, "Tell me, did you really send a letter to Seimei?"

"I..." Ibaraki-douji took half a step back and froze for words.

Seeing Ibaraki's reaction, Fran sighed and said, "Ibaraki, can I still believe what you said?"

Ibaraki Doji frowned and remained silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I will not harm you... Do you think Abe Seimei can be trusted? You asked him about Sanjo Higama, what did he say?"

Fulan raised her eyebrows, and replied simply: "Qingming said that since the sealing of Ping An Jing, he has no news from the door."

Ibaraki Doji suddenly laughed when he heard Fran's reply: "Haha, I knew he would say that! Ran, he lied to you! Seimei Abe lied!"

The author has something to say: So, who lied?

small theater:

Ibaraki: Seimei Abe lied!

Fran: How do you know he lied?

Ibaraki: Because of xxxxxxxx

Fran: But didn't you say that you didn't know the news from Tobira?

Ibaraki: ...

Fran: Huh.
