Pei Ziyun put away the wooden knife and replied calmly: "I just happened to meet him here."
Then he said goodbye to the distinguished prince: "Prince, I have other things to do, so I will go ahead and wait until the matter in your house is completed or before leaving the capital, I will come again to say goodbye to the prince."
After saying that, regardless of whether others agree or not, just go out.
"Please stay!" Someone suddenly shouted from behind.
Pei Ziyun turned around and saw a middle-aged samurai who came with Sakata Kintoki coming over, with a hearty smile on his ordinary face.
But no matter how cheerful he was, compared to a samurai like Sakata Kintoki, his walking posture or expression had an air of nobility.
"Yamada-kun, it's a pity for a samurai like you to become a country samurai!" The samurai lowered his head and said seriously: "With your martial arts, you can definitely achieve greater things!"
"Who is your Excellency?" Pei Ziyun showed a hint of confusion on his face.
"I am Watanabe Tsuna. Like Kintoki, I am both a retainer of Lord Raimitsu. I just saw the competition between you and Kintoki. I think you are amazing! A warrior like you should have a better future. Please join our Minamoto family. Come on! Duke Lai Guang will definitely appreciate you!"
Tsuna Watanabe
Pei Ziyun couldn't help but look at the other party.
The son of Minamoto Wan, the descendant of Minamoto Saga Minamoto, and the samurai known as the "Four Heavenly Kings of Yorimitsu" along with Sakata Kintoki. Although they may not be stronger than Sakata Kintoki, the upright Minamoto family members naturally rank among the Four Heavenly Kings of Yorimitsu. one.
Thoughts flashed through Pei Ziyun's mind, and he declined without showing anything on his face: "Watanabe-kun, there is no need to say anything. I, Yamada Shinichi, do not intend to join another family. Thank you for your kindness, but I cannot agree."
"That's such a pity." Watanabe Tsuna sighed: "If a samurai like you cannot take refuge in the Lord and make achievements in your youth, time will be wasted not only for beauties, but also for samurai!"
Sakata Kintoki also said: "Yamada-kun, if you change your mind at any time, you can come to us at any time. Whether it is me or Watanabe-kun, you will be welcome."
Pei Ziyun didn't speak this time, nodded, turned and left.
Someone beside the prince couldn't help but mutter: "What a rough country warrior, he left like this, how rude!"
You gave up such a great opportunity!
When the prince heard this, he immediately looked over and said displeasedly: "Yamada just saved everyone, including you, but you said such evil words after he left?"
When the prince said this in public, the man was immediately ashamed and covered his face with his sleeves, not daring to look at the expressions of the people around him.
"Watanabe, are you sure that Yamada will win?" Seeing that nothing happened, Sakata Kintoki, who also said goodbye, went out with Watanabe Tsuna. When they reached the steps outside, Sakata Kintoki asked.
Watanabe Tsuna frowned and hesitated: "If you look at the level just now, I might be able to handle it, but I always feel that he hasn't used his full strength yet."
The following warriors looked horrified. At this level, they didn't even use their full strength? What kind of monster is Yamada Shinichi!
Sakata Kintoki didn't refute and fell silent.
"However, we are samurai, not ronin. We are really enemies. Naturally, we will go together and hack him to death!"
"I understand." Sakata Kintoki patted himself and looked into the distance: "If he is an enemy, he will definitely kill this man next time."
"This man is too dangerous."
Pei Ziyun ignored some people's thoughts and went straight to the hotel as soon as he got outside. The snow on the ground was soft. Even ordinary people probably felt the ominous atmosphere that filled Ping'an Capital during this period. Therefore, the weather was not good. When the sun is not high in the sky, unnecessary travel is minimized.
Even when I was going to work, I was in such a hurry on the way that I didn't dare to stay outside for too long.
The snow was falling less now, and there were still few pedestrians. Pei Ziyun walked slowly and slowly in the snow, standing out among the vast white colors.
Equally conspicuous, there is an ox cart parked far ahead.
"Is it my imagination? I always feel like the bullock cart is waiting for me."
"No, it's not my imagination, it's just waiting for me."
Pei Ziyun raised his eyebrows slightly and did not speed up. He still maintained the original speed and passed neither too fast nor too slowly.
When he finally got close to the bullock cart, the curtain of the cart was raised, and a teenage boy got out of the carriage. As soon as he landed, he saluted with a smile.
"Are you Yamada Shinichi?" the young man asked crisply.
"It's me." Pei Ziyun replied.
"Then I've waited for the right person!" The young man smiled and curled his eyebrows, showing his little fangs: "My master invites you to come to the house to have a talk. Please don't refuse."
"Who is your master?" Pei Ziyun did not feel the aura of a ghost from the other party, but he could not say that the other party must be a human.
In his eyes, although the boy opposite had the appearance of a human being, he had a faint fluorescent light on his body, which was very clean, but also revealed an essence that was different from that of human beings. He couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The young man was not shy and allowed Pei Ziyun to look at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
"My master said that I can't tell you his identity yet. You will find out when you go there." He also winked playfully.
"Interesting." Pei Ziyun laughed: "In that case, please take me there."
With that said, he didn't ask any more questions and just got on the bullock cart.
The young man did not get into the car again, but jumped onto the oxcart driving position. Without using a whip, the oxen pulling the cart started walking slowly.
Pei Ziyun was the only one in the car, closing his eyes and concentrating, exploring the bullock cart and the smells along the way.
"This bullock cart has a faint evil spirit, but it is not biased towards violence. It looks like a little monster that has just gained intelligence."
"It shouldn't be the boy driving the cart, really, or the oxen pulling the cart?"
"No matter how open-minded and bold the nobles of Heian Jing are, they probably wouldn't dare to use the cow even though they knew it was abnormal. What if the other party is a confident person and not a noble?"
"But I have only been in Ping'an for a short time. Who can know about me and invite me to be a guest?"
"Is he the monk who is exorcising demons and ghosts from the prince's palace?"
Thinking about this, Pei Ziyun returned to the Buddha's light just now. Naturally, he had heard of Buddhism, but originally there was no real Buddha in Daxu and the Greek world.
"What level of gods are King Kong, Arhat, and Buddha equivalent to?"
Although the young man outside was driving in the car, he was always paying attention to the situation. When he noticed that Pei Ziyun was sitting in the car with his eyes closed and concentrating in this situation, he couldn't help but admire him. This human being is very courageous and different. No wonder the owner would go out of his way to Invited to be a guest!
"Hey, it's a pity that this person is so fierce that I'm a little scared when he gets close! I don't know if he will scare other friends if he goes to the house!"
The wheels of the oxcart rolled over the snow all the way, and the road to Heianjing was not smooth. From time to time, it would rattle and cause bumps.
He didn't know how much time had passed before Pei Ziyun felt the car stop.
"We're here, Yamada-kun, you can get out of the car!" The young man's voice sounded the next moment, very cheerfully.
Pei Ziyun took a look and saw that it was still snowing outside. As soon as he jumped out of the car and his feet landed on the ground, he heard a faint exclamation.
The sound did not come from nearby. Pei Ziyun looked in the direction of the source of the sound and saw a house that surprised him.
Appearing in front of you was a house. The surrounding area was not too empty. Compared to the Prince's Mansion, the house itself seemed much more low-key and simple.
"Half a town is as big as an official residence for four or five people?"
During the Heian period, three people above were allocated one town, four to five people were allocated half a town, and those below six were allocated a quarter town. However, these were not the reasons that surprised Pei Ziyun. His eyes fell on the door and he couldn't help but shake his head. head.
"This is the person who invited me!"
At the door, the Abe House sign is clearly visible.
Is this Abe's house
Standing here, you can already feel the spiritual energy fluctuations from within without having to specifically release your senses.
"Very powerful and well-deserved." Pei Ziyun no longer doubted the identity of the owner here.
Abe Seimei.
A great Onmyoji who became famous and even deified in later generations.
It was this person who invited him, which was beyond Pei Ziyun's surprise. He really didn't expect that this trip to Ping An Jing would attract the other party's attention.
However, let's make peace with it.
No matter whether Abe Seimei was kind or malicious towards him, Pei Ziyun was fearless and calmed down after shaking his head.
The wooden door opened slightly without anyone knocking, and opened with a creak. The young man quickly walked over, stood by the door, and bowed politely: "Yamada-kun, please come in."
The door is open, the scenery is good, and it doesn't give people the feeling of a banquet at Hongmen.
Pei Ziyun didn't seem to notice the eyes secretly staring at him and walked in.
The young man walked behind him, closed the door, frowned, and scolded the little monster for not hiding well enough to almost expose himself.
"Yamada-kun! Please wait! I'll take you in!"
There are formations inside that can confuse people. What if Yamada-kun gets lost and goes on a killing spree
As soon as the boy saw Yamada Shinichi walking so fast, he chased after him anxiously.
Although there are many shikigami and little monsters in the mansion, in terms of ferocity, few of them can match this human warrior, right
There is no need to specifically test this. Just the blood on Yamada Shinichi's body can make the boy aware of the terror of this samurai.
Pei Ziyun ignored the young man and walked straight in.
Abe's house has a half-machi area of nearly 5,000 square meters. The courtyard is very large and divided into several floors. The interior is simple but very elegant. There are no servants on the street, but the floor is very clean. You can also see a small plum grove against the white snow. , more noble and noble, the long plum fragrance comes with the wind, refreshing the heart and mind.
But then, the little exclamations and comments hiding under the plum forest also reached his ears, making Pei Ziyun feel helpless.
"I have long heard that Abe Seimei's family has many shikigami and they are great onmyojis. I didn't expect it to be true."
"There are too many shikigami and little monsters in this house."
"But they are too weak, not even worth using a knife."
As an onmyoji, the main job is to observe astronomical phenomena, study weather, explore geography, formulate calendars, and mark time. As for curing diseases and saving lives, divination of good and bad luck, Feng Shui rituals, and catching ghosts and eliminating demons, they are actually incidental tasks.
"However, now it seems that the Onmyoji in this world is closer to the legendary profession." The closer you get, the more you can feel the deep spiritual power inside.
