Chapter 115 The City of Eternal Calamity
Chapter 115 The City of Eternal Calamity
"It seems that in this Heian capital, there are still some people who have not given up on life."
"If the common people give up doing business, they won't be able to survive."
"Haha, it's really strict." The white-haired boy laughed twice, and looked at Fujimaru Tachika.
"I am Tsuchimikado from Izumi, and I have traveled around to Kyoto."
It was a surname that Fujimaru Tachika didn't know, he looked at the boy of his own age, "Traveling?"
"My father is an onmyoji, and he felt that my practice was insufficient, so he ordered me to travel abroad to increase my knowledge."
The young onmyoji rolled his eyes and said:
"Look at your frowning face, do you need me to do a divination for you?"
Fujimaru Tatsuka's speech like a magic stick made Fujimaru "..." and then thought that this is the era when onmyojis flourished, and the light-colored hunting clothes worn by the other party seemed to have mysterious patterns of different standards, so it was nothing to say such words So strange.
"What's wrong?" the white-haired boy said kindly.
"Has anyone ever told you that you are very familiar..." After speaking, Fujimaru Tachika was taken aback, and murmured: "I actually have a day when I talk about others!"
"Hahahahaha, do you really need me to help you with divination?"
The young onmyoji laughed and sat down directly at his table.
"No, I don't believe in these things."
Fujimaru Tachika shook her head and declined him politely, "I don't mean to offend, I just think that the future is the future because of its unpredictable charm, so no matter what the result of the divination is, I will The moment you know it, the future changes again."
What's more, the timeline on his body is so chaotic that even clairvoyance can't see it, and Gaitia has been peeping at him in his body.
King of People: ...
The young onmyoji didn't force it either, and looked up at the sky, "Well, anyway, when you can't see the stars, the result of divination is not accurate."
Fujimaru Tatsuka didn't care about such mysterious words, he ate the noodle soup calmly, and by the way asked the woman to have another bowl, and paid for it.
"Oh, thanks."
The white-haired boy was a little surprised that Fujimaru Tachika would take care of himself, his brows and eyes were warmed by the heat, and the lines on his face seemed much hazy.
So the two of them sat at the same table and ate without saying a word, watching the people on the street stop and go, feeling gloomy.
"Then let me tell you a story about my travels."
The noodle soup was processed very quickly, and the white-haired boy wanted to thank the bowl of hot food, and opened his fan with a swish after finishing packing.
Fujimaru Lixiang felt that he was completely different from the Genji Onmyouji he had seen before. His hair was as white as snow, his eyes were as clean as the moon, and he was not bound by other stereotyped images. If Shuweng's bird flew over, it might stop at him Lightly flapped the wings twice on the shoulders.
He has a more wonderful feeling, as if an onmyoji who can walk in the two worlds of humans and demons should look like this, inexplicably refreshing the general perception of the profession of onmyoji.
Fujimaru Tachika was also idle when she was idle, expressing that she was all ears.
The young Onmyoji began to tell his own story:
"Beyond the sea, there is a small island, and there is a city of the sun wheel on the island."
Before the sea had yet flooded the riverbanks and villages, our group crossed the sea and came to Sunlun City.
Unlike the gloomy Heian-kyo, the air on the island is clean and refreshing, the mountain city is bathed in comfortable sunlight, the residents live in peace and tranquility, and there are happy faces everywhere.
The day we arrived happened to be the big wedding of Sun Queen Himiko of Rilun City.
Legend has it that a woman in the Yamatai Kingdom was barren and went to the shrine to pray every day, and finally moved the gods.On a bright morning, a baby girl descended from the shrine, and the god blessed her with an artifact.
The girl's name is Himiko.
The Yamatai Kingdom has been through wars for a long time. Himiko, who grew up in a shrine, has powerful spiritual power. She also discovered that the artifact bestowed by the gods has the power to interfere with time and space, so she formed an invincible army and successfully quelled the war.The Rilun Pavilion was built in the new capital, and she was enthroned as the Queen of the Sun.
The queen's light shines on everyone. She loves the people like a child and works hard to govern. The people in the mountain city also love her.
Her wedding will also be the biggest celebration in Sunlun City's history.
However, I suddenly remembered that the legend about Himiko was written on a scroll recorded 800 years ago, and what was said should also be a story more than 800 years ago.
Fujimaru Tachika listened very carefully, and upon hearing this shock, he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
The white-haired boy pretended to be mysterious and paused for a while, put his fan against the corner of his brow, and said distressedly: "Oh, let me think about it..."
Fujimaru Tachika: "Boss, two more meatballs!"
The young onmyoji coughed and continued: "The queen's wedding is extremely grand. The Buddha statue in front of the Rilun Pavilion is shining brilliantly, and flower petals are floating in the celebration. Everyone is wishing the queen and the groom a happy marriage. The rest of my life will be lived in joy forever..."
After attending the wedding, we went down the mountain on the second day. The people in the market were hospitable and hospitable. They greeted us as if they were meeting for the first time, and answered our inquiries with great interest.
Finally, introduce us to the big happy event in the city that day.
[Today is the wedding of Her Highness the Sun Queen, please be sure to attend! 】
We were surprised, and asked if the wedding was over. The girl who entertained us was stunned for a long time, as if she suddenly realized it.
【That's right, isn't the celebration already...】
At some point, the market became empty, replaced by countless cold and pale ghosts, who rushed towards the girl before she could finish her sentence.
The original happiest day has fallen into eternal calamity.
The tone of the white-haired boy became a little slow, describing the beginning of the tragedy.
There was once a sudden plague that swallowed the sky like a dark cloud, blocking the sun's rays.The subjects of the Sun Wheel City continued to die due to the plague, and howling and lamenting tortured the queen's body and mind like thorns, and the queen's husband also passed away unfortunately, which made Himiko sad and fell into madness.
Himiko has powerful spiritual power and an artifact that can manipulate time and space. She cast a spell to turn back the time of Rilun City to the day of her wedding.
Live the happiest day of her and everyone in the city into a lifetime.
The dead who died in the plague also became walking corpses, mechanically repeating the day in their memory. If they are reminded and realize their own death from reincarnation, then the ghosts accumulated due to repeated passing away will appear. If she devours, she will become the new ghost.
Later, who helped us escape from the island was a guard who regarded the Sun Queen as a long-term relative and teacher.Because the queen gave her the power of the moon in the artifact when she was young, she was not disturbed by the time and space magic, and became the ghost princess who raised a knife to her queen at the end.
With unparalleled determination, the woman swung the sword she had honed so far at her most beloved Majesty, and cut off Eternal Tribulation.
After listening to it, Fujimaru Tachika straightened up in a daze, deeply shocked by the human physics contained in the story.
"This story is a bit powerful, I want to slowly..."
"It's fine if you like it." The white-haired boy was also very emotional, smiled softly, and said the final ending: "Although the sun has set, the Sun Wheel City is still in the cycle of reincarnation - Takiyasha Hime did not destroy that An artifact, chosen to allow the residents of the mountain city to slowly wake up after the spell loosens, and decide their own reincarnation."
At that time, the city of the sun wheel will become a kingdom of ghosts. *
"Okay, that's the story, I should go too."
The young onmyoji stood up after telling the story, the lines on his face became redder against the soft white snow, he pulled up his scarf, and told Fujimaru Tachika that the meatballs in this store were really delicious, and he could take some back.
Fujimaru Tachika heard another story after being hit by Tamamo, and walked back with the ball in a more muddled state.
The two parted, and the little snowflakes danced lightly in the sky.
The story of Sunlun City is so deeply rooted in the boy's heart.
"Ah, Fujimaru-sama! Are you alright!"
Back in the courtyard, Xiaobai immediately jumped over.
Fujimaru Tachika had long forgotten his unreliable things, threw the balls in his hand to the little fox, paused, and asked mysteriously:
"Xiaobai, is the surname Tsuchimikado very common?"
Seeing his favorite meatball, Bai Zangzhu replied vaguely "yes" while eating.
"Which nobleman is it?"
"That's not true."
"so……"
"what happened?"
"fine."
Fujimaru Tachika briefly told Xiaobai what happened in the court, and then went back to the house, trying to pat her face before resting.
Tomorrow we have to go to Mount Oe, cheer up Fujimaru Tachika.
Xiao Bai, who stayed where he was, blinked his eyes strangely.
...It is common because the street they live in is just north of Tsuchimikado. *
Is Fujimaru-sama asking for directions?
The next morning, the snow had stopped.
The thin first snow left only traces of stars on the black earth.
Under the recommendation of Tamamomae, Fujimaru Tateka set off for Oeyama with Genji Onmyouji and his party.
Genji's team is very long, not only onmyoji, but also many followers and bodyguards.After all, it is the family of generals. The current head of the family, Yuan Laiguang, is also a master of swordsmanship and marching. There are also many warlocks in the clan who practice martial arts.
And behind the people, the demon soldiers wearing armor and hiding their faces followed Genji in an orderly manner like black human figures.It is said that if the Yuan family needs it, they can also gather the monster soldiers together to form a huge monster general.
Fujimaru Tachika couldn't help thinking of modern plastic toys, but the atmosphere of the demon soldiers was too cold, so he didn't dare to complain.
The news between the Onmyojis was transmitted very quickly. The news that the image of the dragon painted by the "guest of Abe's mansion" appeared in the palace and flew to the sky spread throughout Genji in less than a day.
The people of Genji watched the young man riding Abe Seimei's Hakuzosu and followed their team from afar, gnashing his teeth and being helpless, which made the young man happy.
The speed of the march was not slow, although he was not worried about losing his footing, but Fujimaru Tachika was curious as to why Xiaobai followed him so far.
"Because I hate Genji!" The fox gritted his teeth and looked fierce.
Fujimaru Rika: ?
He didn't expect that Xiaobai still had a grudge with Genji, and was about to ask, but suddenly saw an eye-catching white in the black demon soldiers in Genji's team, and his eyes were attracted to him.
"Huh, what is that?"
