The world is restarting

Chapter 182 Portrait

A long time ago, there was a shrine with high incense on Mount Ibuki, and the main worshiper was the mountain god of Mount Ibuki.When Shuten-douji was a human being, he was the child of that shrine.

Few people still remember this incident. The King of Ghosts has a vicious reputation of both yin and yang. No one can imagine what he was like when he was still a god child. Maybe Jiu Tun-douji himself forgot.

The world is like a cage, but every big monster who used to be a human seems to have had an unspeakable past. Qing Xingdeng was regarded as a monster by the villagers because of his love of ghost stories and died in the fire. Trapped in a cage, even the arrogant and free-spirited big monster Ibaraki was abandoned by his parents for a period of time when he was young.

But Shuten-douji was different from them. He was a son of god revered by the world since he was born, and he never knew how to write the word "hardship and hardship".Why he changed from the Son of God to the King of Ghosts, no one can figure it out so far.

The believers of Mount Ibuki who are still surviving today only remember that it was a very ordinary day, His Royal Highness Shenzi suddenly degenerated into a demon, laughed and walked away.Although he didn't attack anyone present, the believers watched the god they worshiped fall, were shocked and collapsed, and the shrine of Mount Ibuki fell.

It seems that the occurrence of major events in history is always accompanied by some omens, such as the Tengu eating the moon, Yinghuo Shouxin, Oda Nobunaga's Three Tribulations before the change of the Honnoji Temple...but the day when the god son of Ibuki mountain fell was sunny and sunny, unlike usual There is no difference, just like the willful big monster who looked at the sunshine in front of the door when he woke up in the morning, suddenly felt that it was time, got up and stepped into the ghost road without hesitation, no matter how the situation would turn upside down afterwards.

As time goes by, the shrine that used to be very popular in Mount Ibuki is no longer cared for. Sawada Ya saw a touch of red eaves flying out of the mountains and forests in the distance, which was just an illusion created by the mirage.

She suddenly became curious.

The phantom of the mirage is related to the master's subconscious mind. She can see the shrine of Ibuki Mountain here, which shows that the memory of that year still occupies a place in the heart of the ghost king.He seemed too lazy to mention it, but he didn't bother to cover it up either.

She glanced back, the ghost king with red hair closed his eyes and leaned against the railing, resting his forehead on one hand, wondering if he was asleep.A petal that came from nowhere was blown in by the wind, and it seemed to fall lightly on his forehead, but it withered in mid-air before it got close, turning into gray-black residue and being blown away by the evil spirit.

Shuten-douji didn't seem to notice it during the whole process, just when Sawada Ya thought he was really asleep, the big monster lazily opened his mouth.

"looking at what?"

"..."

Little Lolita answered obediently, but the answer was irrelevant, "I'm thinking about the mirror."

"Ok?"

"Have Jiuten seen the mirror last night?"

Shuten-douji finally raised one eyelid and looked at her lazily, "Did Abe Seimei tell you?"

Sawada shook his head.

Seimei didn't know how to tell her anything.

Ah, no, it should be said that Seimei would answer whenever she asked.But Great Onmyoji knows so many things, and she won't talk about them all one by one. Sometimes the topic doesn't go where, of course she doesn't know.

She saw Shuten-douji close his eyes again.After he became a ghost, his skin was extremely pale, but he didn't look sick at all, and his aura was so strong that people who saw him wanted to kneel down on the spot. It was a miracle that he could patiently talk to her so much.

She couldn't tell whether Shuten-douji was in a good mood or not at the moment, that handsome and bright eyebrows showed a faint indifference under the skylight.

"Indeed, I saw it when I was still in Mount Ibuki."

According to common sense, at this time, the little loli should continue to ask what he saw, but the following topic could not be continued normally, because as soon as the ghost king finished speaking, a furious shout came from far outside the pavilion.

"Wine, Tun, Tong, Zi!"

Ze Tianya looked up subconsciously, only to see a black demon fire across the sky, galloping towards the attic.The violent flames burned a long scorching mark on the sky, like the light tail of a falling meteor. The moment it landed, the vigorous demon power swept the flames and poured in like a tide.

The big white-haired demon that appeared in the black flame stepped on the railing in front of the building, and the long hair and hem of his clothes on the back were blown away by the high-altitude wind.Staring at the people in the building, Ibaraki Doji smiled ferociously.

"Let's fight, Jiu, Tun, Tong, Zi!"

A strand of hair on the side of the red-haired ghost king's face was lifted up by the air current, and then fell lightly.He rested his chin in one hand, and finally raised his black eyelashes a little, "Haven't you and Minamoto Laimitsu had enough sex?"

"You still have the nerve to say that?! Damn Minamoto Raimitsu brought a dozen onmyojis into a fight! Why didn't he bring Abe Seimei and Kamo Baoxian with him?"

"Then you may die."

"..."

"Or do you really think you can beat Minamoto Raimitsu plus Abe Seimei and Kamo Baokeng?"

"...Shuten." Ibaraki Doji clenched his paws, and the condensed demonic energy made a "crack" sound between his fingers. He looked at his best friend with a very "kind" smile, "Stop talking, we still fight Bar."

The red-haired ghost king slightly twitched his lips and smiled softly.He picked up the wine gourd by his side and threw it towards the opposite side.Ibaraki took it unceremoniously, uncorked the bottle, and poured it with his head raised.

After pouring a pot of wine, his anger was finally quenched a lot, and he was able to notice the other creatures in the attic besides himself and Shuten-douji.

The other creatures were sitting next to his best friend, their heads tilted blankly, their long silver hair hanging from their shoulders, and wine poured down their knees like a waterfall.

Ibaraki: "Huh? Isn't this the cub of Abe Seimei's family? You really snatched her back?"

Shuten-douji stretched out his hand, and with his pale fingertips lifted a strand of long silver hair like moonlight on his knee, he said lazily, "Yeah, I've been unhappy along the way until now."

Ibaraki Doji immediately admired the gaze on the human cub.

Dare to throw a temper tantrum in the ghost king's car, it looks promising.

The promising little Lori Sawada seemed to be reminded by his arrival, touched her stomach with her little hand, and said in a daze, "I'm hungry..."

Ibaraki: "?"

Ibaraki: "??"

Ibaraki: "Wait, you're hungry, what are you looking at me for?!"

The silver-haired little loli didn't speak, but continued to look at him with her big clear eyes.

Ibaraki: "..."

The big monster squatted on the railing and played a game of staring at her for 5 minutes, and finally turned his head as if he was defeated, and scratched his hair irritably, "Okay, I understand, I'll go to Gu Huo Niao to ask Is there anything you can eat."

After saying that, he jumped directly from the tall building, his long white hair streaked across the vermilion railing, and the fiery demon spirit blinked away and merged into the crowd of demons below.

Immediately, Ze Tianya heard a low laugh, she turned her head, His Excellency the King of Ghosts held that strand of silver hair and twisted it around her fingers a few times, resting her forehead with one hand, and looked at her with great interest.

"Do you really know who to look for to act like a baby, or did Qingming even tell you this?"

What did you say?

The super~ fierce Ibaraki Doji-sama is actually super~ not able to deal with cubs?

Little Loli blinked her eyes, and said obediently that I was just a cute kitten, and I didn't know anything.

Ping An Jing.

Abe Seimei mentioned that Shuten-douji saw Ungai Kyou when he was a god child in Mount Ibuki, and saw his future in the mirror, so he didn't continue to talk about it, and the others knew it well and didn't ask.

No one in the entire Yin Yang Dao except Seimei Abe knew about this matter. Whether it was because Shuten-douji was too lazy to mention it or didn't want to talk about it, everyone was very self-aware and didn't ask about the ghost king's past.

After all, not everyone has a face that is immune to all damage like a great onmyoji. It's better not to provoke the ghost king if you can avoid it.

Omotota turned the topic back to business again, "That's why the green ape saw the future of Heira Shomon's resurrection in Yunwaijing, and thought there was an opportunity, so he used his name to summon all the demons and wanted to come to the capital ?”

Strictly speaking, this operation is a bit of death. After all, if Ping Jiangmen is really resurrected, how could he not pursue those who dared to pretend to be himself.But that monkey even provoked the eloquent heavenly man who is a god before, so he didn't seem to care about it.

"If it was before, not many people would believe it. But strange things are happening frequently in the capital, and those who pay attention to this matter have already guessed. At this time, it stands up and says that it is the master of the gate. I am afraid that most monsters will think it is true. .”

Biao Tengtai nodded slightly, and then said with some doubts, "But the Lord Jiangmen I saw at the ghost feast is indeed exactly the same as I remember, and the green ape has never been to Kanto, so why does it know the appearance of Lord Jiangmen? "

"This question will soon be answered for us."

Abe Seimei smiled lightly, and picked up the wine glass on the table again.Not long after he finished speaking, there was a sound of fine footsteps coming from the long corridor.

Everyone followed the sound and saw Shikigami in light-colored Tang clothes coming out of the darkness and bowing down.

"Master Seimei, there is a woman knocking on the door, saying that she came to thank Master Minamoto Raimitsu."

Minamoto Raimitsu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "To me?"

The Great Onmyoji nodded slightly, "Please come in."

"Yes."

The shikigami retreated quietly, and everyone turned their gazes to Minamoto Raimitsu, with more or less a hint of teasing in their expressions.

After all, Genji's reputation...everyone knows it.

Minamoto Raimitsu touched the tip of his nose, turned his head to look at the sky silently, and muttered in a low voice, "I've found the wrong person, I've been very quiet lately."

However, everyone didn't believe him. Is Genji's "safety" and ordinary people's "safety" the same concept?

However, after Shikigami really brought the woman who knocked on the door, the ridicule in everyone's eyes disappeared one after another.

Although the woman was dressed in white, with a weak willow supporting the wind, she did have a face that could have a lingering story with Genji's son, but this would never happen to Minamoto Laiguang - because she is a ghost.

She lowered her eyes and came to the porch and bowed gracefully, her waist was as slender as a weeping willow in the wind, "Your Excellency, on behalf of the army, attacked Dajiang Mountain and killed the green ape, so that my great revenge can be avenged, please accept my obeisance." .”

"Ah?" Minamoto Larimitsu didn't recognize who she was at first, he looked her up and down hesitantly, and finally realized, "Are you the maid serving wine for the fake general?"

"Yes." The woman said, "I followed Master Youqing from Mutsu Country to the capital. I originally wanted to find Master Seimei. But when I was passing through Danba Country, I was caught by the green ape, and Lord Youqing also died in the capital. In its hands, I was restricted by its magic and could not personally avenge Master Youqing, and I was in pain and regret every day. Now that Qingyuan has been killed, my wish is fulfilled, and I can sleep peacefully after thanking you."

Judging from her tone, there is obviously a long story behind this female ghost.Everyone was surprised for a moment and politely stopped exploring. Abe Seimei took the lead and asked, "Madam, can you please stay a moment? We have some questions to ask you."

"Excuse me. Master Laiguang avenged me, no matter what I will not hide anything."

"Then, do you know why that green ape wanted to grab you and keep you by his side?"

The woman paused when she heard the words, her long eyelashes drooped, showing a little sad expression, "Because I was a maid next to Lord Jiangmen, and I fled to Mutsu country with my companions after Lord Jiangmen was defeated. That green ape kept me so that I could help him better pretend to be the general."

Biao Teng was stunned, "So you told him the reason why the fake general is exactly the same as I remember?"

"Yes, I kept a volume of portraits of Lord Jiangmen and Mrs. Jun. During the days when I became a ghost with me, the portraits gradually developed a little spirituality, and they could project the phantoms of Lord Jiangmen and Mrs. Jun to relieve my anxiety. Feelings of nostalgia."

As she spoke, the woman pulled out a scroll of Chinese paintings from the armhole, and gently held both ends of the scroll with her white and slender hands, and slowly opened it.

In the morning light, the two figures drawn in ink and wash gradually became clear, and the portrait seemed to have turned into a mirror. A pair of handsome men and women emerged from the mirror. Among them, the man in black hunting clothes was indeed Hei Jiangmen.

Minamoto Laikou leaned against the porch pillar, glanced casually across the painting, and paused when he passed by the woman next to Ping Jiangmen.

"You just said that this is Ping Jiangmen and who?"

"It's Mrs. Jun, Lord Jiangmen's main wife."

Noticing that his voice seemed to be a little serious suddenly, Oyo Teng turned back in confusion, "Boy from the Yuan family, what's the matter, what did you find?"

Minamoto Raimiko's eyes slowly lingered on the woman's face, "Master Fujita, do you still remember the ghost market where Ji Jun and I met you tonight? Before you, we also met a woman..."

Although the man was wearing a city girl's hat, when she was picking flowers for Ji Jun, a gust of passing wind lifted the tulle to reveal her face.Minamoto Raimiko glanced at it from a distance, and the woman's appearance was strikingly similar to the Mrs. Jun in the portrait.
