Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 664

The cat shopkeeper belongs to Azhi; it's really impolite to pet it randomly.

And the cat at home?

Kousaka Kyosuke ignored her completely. During the New Year's holiday, it was Yaodao-hime who disdainfully carried the soundly sleeping Yaodao-hime to the mother's room for a meal.

These past few days, it seems he's been hiding somewhere in the courtyard, fast asleep, and has disappeared without a trace.

The consumption of spirit rice is quite high. In the past two days, Kousaka Kyosuke has been planning to use her as a guinea pig to try out the spirit rice given by Orochi.

Humans can eat it, but I don't know if monsters can eat it?

The pitfalls of Yamata no Orochi are endless.

We still need to be serious; we can't let Yaodaoji and Bailang get hurt.

Soon.

A-Zhi returned with a bag of herbs, which Kousaka Kyosuke accepted, thanked, and left.

The situation is urgent; let's rescue Seimei first.

"Goodbye, Lord Kyosuke!" the cat shopkeeper waved his little hand and called out.

Azhi looked amused; they'd only met a few times and they were already so clingy.

After a while, the cat shopkeeper looked at Azhi.

"Oh, right, Lady Aori, Lord Kyosuke just gave me the money for the medicine."

"...You accepted the money for the medicine?"

"Because Kyosuke-sama said you definitely wouldn't accept it, and that you'd feel embarrassed to see me if you didn't accept it."

"He won't be embarrassed at all..."

As Azhi spoke, a slight ripple stirred within her, and a scorching heat, as if about to ignite, flowed through her body.

She quickly calmed herself down.

Monsters and humans are impossible, so it's fine as it is.

"..." The cat shopkeeper tilted his head and stared blankly at Azhi, looking completely puzzled.

She didn't understand what A-Zhi was saying, and wanted to ask, but felt she shouldn't.

Then I suddenly remembered the citrus seeds in my hand, and I immediately felt energized, happily imagining the scene of planting and harvesting them.

Even if it's only slightly sour, that's still pretty good~ If all else fails, you can use it to make wine~

As long as the citrus fruit isn't bitter, it's fine~ Kyosuke-sama is such a kind person~

As for Kousaka Kyosuke?

Having already folded several paper cranes and dispatched puppet clones to deliver messages, I, Kagura, and Minamoto no Hiromasa headed to the underworld.

Going to the underworld is not the same as going to the netherworld.

There are quite a few monsters living there, and even Onmyoji occasionally come and go, so it's not a very troublesome thing.

What are some things to be aware of?

That is the environment filled with yin energy and the hostility of monsters.

Needless to say, the underworld is filled with yin energy, and it is also a gathering place for monsters, so it is even more normal for it to be hostile to monsters.

Similar to the yokai that wander into Kyoto, even if they haven't done anything evil, they can still be killed by the Onmyoji.

Similarly,

It makes perfect sense that Kyosuke Kousaka would be bothered by monsters after going to the underworld.

"Where are the people?"

"Let's move a little to the left."

"Bar?"

After going around in circles, Kousaka Kyosuke suddenly heard Minamoto no Hiromasa's somewhat uncertain tone and was completely dumbfounded.

Where did this traitor come from? Drag him away!

“I haven’t forgotten the way!” Minamoto no Hiromasa said very seriously. “The path here is a bit complicated, with many repetitions. I need to think about it. I remember there was a river there…”

Kyosuke Kosaka said slowly, "You mean a branch of the Sanzu River?"

The Sanzu River is also known as the River Styx.

Its source is high in the underworld, and its basin and branches are very extensive, connecting the realms of Yin and Yang. The dead can follow it directly to the underworld.

"I remember there were also quite a few red, needle-shaped flowers!"

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent; he was starting to think about going back.

He certainly believed that his grudges with the other shore flower were "evenly settled," but he didn't know what the other shore flower thought.

The probability of trouble is too high.

"No, no, Seimei is the main force against Orochi. I might not be able to defeat Orochi even if I risk my life..."

Kyosuke Kosaka immediately suppressed his excessive emotions.

Compared to the spider lilies that might be encountered, the Yamata no Orochi is the biggest problem.

If Seimei were to lose his life, Kousaka Kyosuke would suspect that he was going to run away.

No, we should at least try to revive him.

No, we need to save Seimei first before we think about anything else!

Seeing the subtle signs, he realized that Orochi completely overwhelmed him in terms of magic, and his talent in Yin-Yang magic was not top-notch. It would be more appropriate to protect Seimei, who had top-notch talent.

Thinking of this, Kyosuke Kosaka took out the red flower that had been sealed by spiritual energy from his magical space.

"Huh?" Minamoto no Hiromasa looked slightly surprised.

Kagura suddenly realized: "It's the flower that emerged from the rift in the underworld..."

"Let me see if I can find Seimei's location by following the scent of the flowers."

"I'll use the tracking spell."

"This time I came here, there is too much yin energy in the underworld. My ability to sense danger is restricted. Please keep an eye on our surroundings for me."

"Hmm!" Kagura nodded emphatically.

As long as it helps my husband, that's enough.

Minamoto no Hiromasa felt a little jealous.

Why does my sister always have such a stern face when she treats him?

Kousaka Kyosuke ignored Minamoto no Hiromasa's resentment and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking the red flower out of his magical space, he believed that he was very likely "located".

If you use safflower to perform a tracking spell on Kagura.

It's possible that the spider lily might interpret it as some kind of provocation.

Although Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't think Higanbana likes him, that doesn't mean she's not possessive.

It's highly likely that it will be made into something like floral foam.

In short, it's best to avoid trouble.

A quarter of an hour later.

Under the protection of Minamoto no Hiromasa and Kagura, Kousaka Kyosuke used his spiritual power to push aside the layers of yin energy and began to track down the scent of the red flower on his hand.

"Oh my, isn't this Lord Kyosuke?"

Wisps of smoke drifted in the air, like silken ribbons, swaying in the wind.

A faint, elusive voice rang out.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at the smoke in the sky in surprise: "Enenra?"

"It's me."

As the smoke gathered, a strikingly beautiful woman appeared, dressed in a dark blue open-fronted kimono and holding a pipe.

Her beautiful and charming face, as well as her slender and straight long legs that were revealed from the side of the slit in her clothes at the waist, were particularly familiar.

is her.

Yes, that's her.

"Why did you suddenly come here, Kyosuke-sama?" Enenra walked over gracefully, smiling kindly at Kagura and Minamoto no Hiromasa.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I'm looking for a white-haired Onmyoji wearing a blue hunting robe."

"Seimei, right?"

"It seems you know about Yanyanluo."
