Zongman: I was a ninja in the age of monsters

Chapter 83: Kirito: Mutation, this must be a mutation!.

Kaede no Village.

By the time Minami Hoshi and Kikyo returned to the village from Edo Castle, it was already early winter. The temperature outside, which cools at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Instead of going out, people hide in their homes and consume as little energy as possible.

Kikyo also raised a small stove in her hut, quietly weaving something. This is probably the most leisurely time of her year.

–Humans don’t leave their homes, which means that the chances of encountering yokai are greatly reduced.

If she encounters it, it can only mean that it is a human who takes the initiative to seek death, and she has no good way. Therefore, she, a witch, naturally has no place to play.

And if it was in previous years, she would often use this time to make some spells, or grind some medicinal powder or something, in preparation for the next year’s battle.

But this year, she uncharacteristically studied female red.

The fabric was complex, and her dexterous hands struggled with it. From time to time, I will touch the bamboo skewer, and the sharp part will prick a little red.

But Kikyo doesn’t feel pain.

She has experienced more painful things than this, just bamboo skewers and monsters, how could she………….

“Hmm.”

Another tingling pain.

This made Kikyo a little 17 angry.

But looking at the clothes in front of her that had been woven with a thick thread, she thought about it, and finally gave up the idea of prying off the bamboo stick. However, she doesn’t want to continue knitting for the time being.

“Alas.”

Kikyo looked out the window, the gray sky, and subconsciously sighed.

She couldn’t help but wonder if she could weave the dress before the end of this winter.

“I look at Kaede clothes, it’s not so difficult…”

…… Evening.

Nanxing carried a basket of oranges to Kikyo’s hut.

The little girl with an empty head was also there, and she was always following Nanxing’s side, looking inseparable. Kikyo’s habit is already taken for granted.

“Okay.”

“Pretty sweet.”

Kikyo was not polite with Nanxing, and picked the largest orange from the basket.

With her slender fingers, she easily pulled out the flesh of the orange and put the orange peel on the edge of the small stove. The smell of burnt orange filled the room in an instant.

Kikyo took a deep breath.

The aroma of fruit wood is always pleasant.

And in this winter when everything is dying, oranges as fresh as if they were freshly picked are even more extravagant.

But in fact, these oranges were actually freshly plucked from the tree.

In this regard, Nanxing can only say. Mu Dun is really easy to use, and Mu Dun with the blessing of the power of Yang is even easier to use until it takes off!

Those who have not experienced it will never understand what it is like to be able to achieve fruit freedom in this era of extremely underdeveloped productivity.

“However, looking at the appearance of Kikyo, it seems that there is not much progress on this day today.”

The sharp-eyed Nanxing noticed the “rope” that had not changed much compared to yesterday.

He had reason to think that Kikyo must have been disturbed by something that prevented him from concentrating on his work. As for what kind of thing made her so distressed.

“How?”

“Still thinking about Kyoto?”

……

【Kyoto】.

Until the beginning of the Edo period, the name was actually a synonym. After all, Kyoto’s location is different depending on the era.

Kyoto in the Nara period was Heijo-kyo [Nara].

After the Daika reform, Namba-kyo [Osaka] became the political center of the country.

Later, Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Heian-kyo [Kyoto], which began the Heian period. Now, more than 300 years have passed since the collapse of the Heian period.

But Kyoto is already the undisputed center of the country.

If you think about it, this is actually the same nature as the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China.

Although the princes rose up together and fought hotly. But Zhou Tianzi is still the nominal co-master of everyone. And what is even more interesting is that in this era, Heianjing also had the nickname of [Luoyang]. First, because it itself was modeled after Luoyang City.

Therefore, the shoguns led troops to Kyoto and declared themselves the hegemonic of the world, also known as “Shangraku”. Of course, these things have nothing to do with Kikyo.

She is a witch and a defender of order walking between humans and youkai. She doesn’t care about the fights between these humans, and she shouldn’t care about the fights between these humans.

However, the current situation is somewhat different.

“Humans have joined forces with youkai.”

Kikyo thought with some concern.

She didn’t know about Kyoto.

But thinking about the nature of the incident made her scalp tingle. The last human to join forces with the yokai is called Haruaki Abe.

–That was also the beginning of the Kyoto group truly becoming the “first group under the world”.

The half-human, half-demon Abe Qingming lingered among various dignitaries during the day as the president of the Onmyoji Division. Even the emperor at the time had to pay enough attention to him.

At night, as the lord of the monsters, he runs amok and rules the night of the country.

At that time, he concentrated the supreme power of black and white in one 550 body, and was a veritable [Lord of the Rays]. And now, six hundred years later, humanity is united with youkai again.

“Is there going to be another character similar to Abe Haruaki?” Kikyo’s heart was a little uneasy. ”

Abe Haruaki is an Onmyoji respected by everyone, but once Kikyo thinks about it, it is enough to have an Onmyoji like this. At the same time as rough, Nanxing has a different view on Kirito’s speculation.

“Nope.”

“I don’t think that humans and yokai in Kyoto are the kind of union of Abe Haruaki.”

He shook his head and gave his own inference: “After all, Abe Qingming does not need so much food. ”

There are only two situations in which a large amount of food is really needed.

The first is the famine. The second is soldiers.

And near Kyoto, I didn’t hear about the disaster. On the contrary, there is news of the chaos of the army, which is carried out every day. So, the answer is already obvious: “It was humans who teamed up with the yokai to build an army.” And, what is also intended to be done with this army. ”

Nanxing guessed with great certainty.

After hearing this answer, the expression on Kikyo’s face became even more solemn: “Isn’t this worse?” ”
