I’m a Witch In Dongying

No one was found.

The induction at that moment just now only allowed her to estimate an approximate position.

However, the space in the entire gymnasium is very vast. There are tens of thousands of spectators present, and a large amount of popularity is flooded in the huge space, like a natural barrier, which hides the breath of spiritual power fluctuations to the greatest extent. Not to mention Bai Shuiqiu, even the wind raccoon with better perception ability can't tell the exact location of the opponent at this time.

"never mind……"

As long as it's not for yourself, or the descendants of the onmyojis who had forged feuds with the old monsters back then, it's not a big problem...

Of course, the latter possibility is actually very slim.

They came to Kyoto from Chiba Prefecture to participate in the competition. They just stayed for a day. If the Onmyojis of Abe and Hojo had such a high efficiency in collecting intelligence, they might have investigated the hidden identity of the old monsters and ran to Narita to find out. The enemy is gone, there is no need to wait until now.

As far as Bai Shuiqiu's intuition is concerned, the owner of the breath just now is more like an ordinary archery enthusiast, simply watching the game.

No one stipulates that practitioners cannot watch the IH competition...

All these thoughts happened in just a few seconds.

Soon, Bai Shuiqiu pressed his chaotic thoughts and reinvested his energy into the archery competition in front of him.

The results of the group stage are naturally not suspenseful.

Jiufeng Shiyuan has long said that the players in the same group are a group of ordinary people, and the level is only the average level of this competition, and there is no decent strong.

In fact, it is true.

Even without the playoffs, Bai Shuiqiu booked a promotion qualification in advance with the first result in the group.

The next game will be played tomorrow afternoon.

Thinking that it would be fine to stay here, Bai Shuiqiu discussed with Jiufeng Ziyuan and planned to leave the show early.

"Are you a little tired? It's just a group stage anyway. It's okay to go back early, but it's boring to stay in the hotel. Would you like me to show you around in Kyoto?" Jiufeng Shiyuan smiled, half Said jokingly: "I am quite familiar with this city, and I can help you lead the way."

"No need to trouble you..."

"No, it's not troublesome at all. This time Sanae is not here, and you have to go back early. It's boring for me to stay here by myself."

"But Ogata-senpai and them..."

"The men's competition is tomorrow morning. Ogata and the others stay here just to observe the skills of other players, but to me, the archery of these guys is just a child's play, and it is not interesting at all... Go to the Kyoto Imperial Palace How about it, that place is not far from here, it can be reached within a ten-minute walk, and the scenery is not bad."

The old monster has already begun to choose a place to take a walk.

Bai Shuiqiu hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.

After all, going to the "Luo Lei Valley" a few days later still requires trouble with Jiufeng Ziyuan. Since the old monster is interested in going out for a walk, she is not good at rejecting it too much, and she is totally disappointed.

Anyway, in the city...

Moreover, Bai Shuiqiu is indeed a little interested in the "Kyoto Imperial Palace" that the old monster said. It is difficult to get a trip to Kyoto. It would be a waste of not to go around these representative attractions.

Soon, the teachers and students both left the gymnasium, and under the leadership of Jiufeng Ziyuan, they walked to the east side of the street.

The so-called "Kyoto Imperial Palace" is actually the emperor's palace, similar in nature to China's "Forbidden City", and for a long time it has always existed as the administrative center of Dongying. It wasn't until the Meiji Emperor Meiji issued a decree to move the capital to Tokyo that this situation changed. However, the Kyoto Imperial Palace is still the property of the royal family, and some areas are still in use today and are not open to the outside world.

"By the way, Shion-sensei...had you stayed in the Kyoto Imperial Palace before?"

Bai Shuiqiu asked a little curiously.

"Well, it's been a long time ago."

Jiufeng Shiyuan smiled and squinted his eyes slightly: "Back then, I was just a young and ignorant little monster. I followed the emperor who had justified me to Kyoto, and dealt with those humans as the'five lights'... …Well, it's a stupid thing that I did when I was young."

"Why do you say that?"

"Have you heard a saying, "If you are not a race, your heart must be different"?"

Facing Bai Shuiqiu’s question, Jiufeng Ziyuan smiled: “Although I have done some research on human society at that time, I have some understanding of their habits, and I can even talk, communicate, appreciate singing, dancing and tea art like humans. But after all, it's just a different kind. No matter how kind on the surface, he doesn't trust me. There are even many people who want to put me to death.

But now it seems that I can only say that it is a pity that they have not made their wish. "

"The ghosts of the great rivers and mountains are with you..."

Bai Shuiqiu asked tentatively.

"The group of ghost races in Dajiangshan are different from ordinary monsters. Their formation is related to the evil thoughts of human beings, and they continue to grow by consuming resentment and desire as nourishment. Therefore, the actions of those guys are almost entirely driven by desire, often Will attack human beings for property and beauty, burn, kill, and looting endlessly, plus coming and going like wind, even the court is helpless...

At that time, because I was very close to humans, I had a little feast with them.

So later in the Edo period, I borrowed the "Bozi Kiriyasuna" from Hidetada Tokugawa for this reason. "

Perhaps because of being in a familiar environment, Jiufeng Ziyuan has a strong chat.

Even the matter of enmity with the Kyoto Onmyoji, I even mentioned a few words.

But the only thing about the Prince Akine was kept secret by her. After a dozen minutes of walking, Bai Shuiqiu hadn't even heard the name from her. However, this abnormal phenomenon confirmed the piece of information previously provided by the countermeasure team from another angle.

Bai Shuiqiu guessed secretly in his heart, while following Jiufeng Ziyuan through the long street.

At this point, a piece of green can be vaguely seen in the field of vision.

The Kyoto Imperial Palace is not a solitary building, but is located in a densely planted garden, and the surrounding shrines, as well as the Sendong Imperial Palace-the place where the emperor after his abdication lived-together form the name "Kyoto "The Imperial Garden" is a large park.

Most areas of the Royal Garden have been opened to the public as scenic spots, and sometimes some ceremonies or ceremonies are held here.

When Bai Shuiqiu and Jiufeng Ziyuan walked all the way, they also saw some local citizens and tourists strolling leisurely on the green road.

"Passing through this garden is the Jianli Gate. This gate is the main gate of the imperial palace. It is usually opened only when there is a major event. It is not allowed to enter and leave at will."

"That direction is Zichen Temple..."

"There is also Qingliang Hall..."

Jiufeng Shion raised his chin and gestured, then softly explained.

Although the Kyoto Imperial Palace is currently open to the outside world, only part of the area is really open. Tourists also need to take a delineated route for sightseeing, so places like Jianyemen cannot be passed through.

Bai Shuiqiu can only imagine the prosperous scenery of the palace in the past from the old monster's narration.

but……

When he heard the term "Qingliang Temple", Bai Shuiqiu couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and glanced there curiously.

She didn't feel much about the "Zichen Hall", but the name of the hall behind was very familiar.

Because in the story of the "Five Lights", it was specifically mentioned that after Qingluhuo was proclaimed by the emperor, he also got the qualification to "ascend into the Qingliang Hall and the Hall"——

According to the legend, at that time, Jiufeng Shion met the emperor in the form of a blue heron. The light from its wings was considered to show the noble status of the royal family. Therefore, the emperor at that time allowed her to ascend into coolness. Above the hall, I wanted to show my prestige and martial arts to the ministers and people.

This kind of thing is not an isolated case.

As early as the Han Dynasty in China, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also built the Kylin Pavilion because of the auspicious beast "White Lin", and deliberately changed the name of the reign from "Yuan Shuo" to "Yuan Shou", in order to mean auspiciousness.

Regardless of the intention of Qingluhuo and "Bai Lin" themselves to approach the imperial family, it was a rare auspicious for the emperors.

Can……

Bai Shuiqiu usually sees more of the human form of Jiufeng Ziyuan...

His brain filled the picture of the woman crouching on the roof with her hands on her chest, Bai Shuiqiu couldn't help but laugh: "Puff--"

"What's the matter, suddenly laugh so happy?"

Jiufeng Shion turned his head and looked over.

"It's nothing, just thought of something interesting..."

Bai Shuiqiu coughed lightly, narrowed the smile on his face, and then straightened his face:

"I have seen in the classics that a large-scale thunder incident occurred in Kyoto during the eight-year extension. Qingliangdian and Zichendian were struck by lightning successively, resulting in the tragic death of several ministers on the spot. Frightened, he will die in a few months...

This incident is said to be caused by Sugawara Michishin, is it true? "

Sugawara Michizane was a well-known scholar in the Heian period. He was once highly appreciated and respected by the emperor. He was promoted to Minister of Right. However, he was exiled because of the Fujiwara clan's frame. He was ordered not to follow along, and was driven out of Kyoto to starve to death one after another.

Soon thereafter, all sorts of outliers began to appear in Kyoto.

First, several courtiers who participated in the frame of Sugawara Michijin died suddenly, and then the prince of Emperor Daigo died one by one. Then there was a thunder-falling incident at Cheongnyangden, which caused panic among the people in Kyoto. The saying that "Michizane Sugawara turned into a grieving spirit after his death, and manipulated thunder and lightning to kill all the public officials" spread like wildfire among the people.

Such incidents have lasted for decades.

Finally, in order to quell Sugawara’s real resentment, the imperial family and the Fujiwara family named the former "God of Learning" and "Fire Thunder God", and built Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kamikyo District as the head office of the God of Learning. Add incense to enshrine.

Because of this...

Sugawara Michizane, like Emperor Takashi Otengu, became one of the few beings that possessed both the attributes of a monster and a god.

Bai Shuiqiu was still a little curious about this ancient resentful spirit and god.

And counting the time, it seemed that it happened to be in the same era as the old monster.

"You said this..."

Jiufeng Shion smiled: "Those things that caused the grieving spirit at the time are half true, right? Sugawara Michigan did return to Kyoto from Kyushu and took revenge on his enemy, but The thunderbolt was actually just a coincidence, but because it happened at that time, it was counted on him.

The so-called "Fire Thunder God" is just a vain job with a mere appearance. Sugawara Michizane himself does not possess this power, and at best he can use his own grievances to set off a few fires.

I was in Kyoto at that time, and the emperor at the time initiated a request to remove spirits, but that guy soon died of illness, and I also left Kyoto because of my grievances with the ghost clan and the Yin Yang Liu. I never came back, so I didn't know what happened afterwards.

However, Michizane Sugawara is indeed one of the very few gods who still existed in the human world until modern times. I met him once more than two hundred years ago. You suddenly asked about this, do you have any thoughts? "

"Um... I just want to know, this'God of Learning', can you bless me to get 100 points every time in the exam?"

Bai Shuiqiu scratched his hair and asked a little embarrassedly.

She didn't care much about "Fire Thunder God" or something.

But Sugawara Michizane's godhead as the "god of learning" is still very stable, especially in modern times, every time the college entrance examination season comes, the incense to enshrine him is endless.

If I can really bless my studies...

Bai Shuiqiu doesn't mind going to Tianmangong to give him a few incense sticks, or even buying a bunch of tributes to send to him...

Jiufeng Ziyuan: "..."

Mime private 489

Jiufeng Ziyuan was speechless when asked by Bai Shuiqiu. After a while, he shook his head:

"This kind of thing is not in the business scope of the gods. Have you ever heard of anyone who relies on praying to the gods of business to win the lottery tickets they bought? For most people, praying is just to seek a psychological comfort If you really pin your hopes on these illusory gods, it’s not a wise choice."

"I'll just talk about it..."

Bai Shuiqiu smiled awkwardly.

In fact, her thoughts are similar to those of the old monster.

If the gods were so effective, then from ancient times to the present, there will not be so many ghosts and monsters. After all, the most important thing is to rely on yourself...

While they were talking, the two passed by the Qingliang Hall.

When passing a certain location, Jiufeng Ziyuan suddenly paused, and cast his gaze in the direction of a courtyard hidden by the heavy roof tiles, with a flash of remembrance in his eyes briefly.

"...Over there?"

"Oh, there is Chuzaiin, which is the place where the kings of the past used to fast, bathe and temporarily live before they went to Ise Jingu to take office. In ancient times, there used to be a very quiet place, and it is almost the same now. , And until now, this courtyard is still used by the royal family."

"..."

So, is there the place where the Prince Akine lived a thousand years ago?

Bai Shuiqiu opened his mouth, but did not make a sound in the end.

Compared with the few halls just now, Chugongyuan's influence on Jiufeng Ziyuan is obviously greater.

Next, the old monster became a little absent.

Although he will respond accordingly when he hears Bai Shuiqiu's words, he is no longer talking like he did just now.

The two went around the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and when they returned to the vicinity of Jianli Gate, Bai Shuiqiu raised his head and glanced at the sky, and made a proposal to go back to the palace. Regarding this, after a brief hesitation, Jiufeng Ziyuan nodded and agreed, and then took Bai Shuiqiu all the way back to the hotel.

Nothing happened all the way.

After returning to the hotel, Bai Shuiqiu changed and washed his sweaty clothes and dried them on the balcony of the room.

Then I took a shower and changed my clothes, and browsed through the news in Kyoto these days on my phone.

For Kyoto during this time, the Gion Festival is the biggest thing. The headlines in the news are almost related to this. Various news media in the Kansai area have also posted videos taken by their own filming teams on the Internet. However, what the old monster said in the afternoon about "Mantis Mountain" was not reported.

Of course, in this case, it is also possible that someone is deliberately concealing information.
