Kyoto.
When Su Ziyu disguised himself and returned to the capital of Fuso, he found that the flow of people here seemed to have declined a lot.
People were in a hurry, and there were even fewer business trips. Some houses had their doors closed in broad daylight, as if the people living inside had moved away. When he entered the city, he found that some noble ministers seemed to be preparing to move out. Now he saw that there were quite a few people who had temporarily moved out in Kyoto. However, the shrine and temple are very lively, and it seems that many people go there to offer incense every day.
"Benefactor?..." Just as Su Ziyu was strolling on the street, a girl who had just walked out of the shrine saw his back. After a slight hesitation, she quickly caught up with him.
Huh
Su Ziyu stopped and turned around, his expression slightly surprised, and he smiled and said, "It turns out it's you."
It was a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was the one Su Ziyu rescued on Suzaku Avenue that night. He was still deeply impressed by this girl because she looked similar to Qing Xing Deng. About seventy or eighty percent similar.
What's more important is that under the spiritual vision, there is a strange white aura on the other party's body. It seems that ordinary ghosts cannot harm her at all.
"It's really you!" The girl looked very happy and bowed deeply: "Thank you for saving me that night."
Su Ziyu smiled and said, "It's easy."
"Is your injury okay?"
The girl named Fujiwara Xiangzi in front of her shook her head gently and said: "The medicine given by my benefactor worked very well, and I have been fine for a long time."
"I've been looking for you for many days, but I haven't been able to meet you again."
"I didn't expect to meet you here today."
Su Ziyu looked at the other person for a few times, and then asked, "Where do you live now?"
"I'm temporarily staying at Sakyo's uncle's house." Fujiwara Xiangzi bowed again and said: "My benefactor, do you have time to come and sit down? I can also entertain you and repay your life-saving grace."
Su Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
He was extremely curious about the girl in front of him, because Fujiwara Xiangzi looked very similar to Qing Xingdeng, and Su Ziyu also wanted to know what the white aura on her body was.
"Great! Please come with me!" Fujiwara Xiangzi bowed again and said happily.
Her identity should be that of a noble.
Under the leadership of Fujiwara Xiangzi, Su Ziyu came to a mansion in Sakyo. Princes and nobles lived nearby, and ordinary people probably couldn't even get close to it.
"Please come in." The girl lives in an independent courtyard.
Su Ziyu saw many flowers and plants as soon as he entered. They must have put a lot of effort into taking care of them. The area of the yard is estimated to be hundreds of square meters. There is a small bamboo forest not far away and a pond next to it. There are more than ten koi fish inside.
The girl's residence was quite elegant, with a vase of flowers placed in front of the door, and a poem hanging on the wall of the living room, which Su Ziyu was quite familiar with.
- "We are both fallen people at the end of the world, so why should we meet before?"
It turned out to be Bai Juyi's Pipa Xing.
Su Ziyu's sense of the girl in front of him suddenly increased a lot. The high-ranking nobles in Fuso had to learn Chinese characters and poems. Chinese culture had a great influence on Fuso during this period. Even the history was recorded in Chinese characters. , those crooked Fusang characters in later generations were all gradually created later, with the purpose of reducing the influence of Chinese culture on Fusang culture, but no matter how the Chinese characters were changed, many Chinese characters still remained.
"Does my benefactor also like Bai Juyi's poems?" Fujiwara Xiangzi came out with a wooden tray and said softly: "We are both fallen people in the world, so why should we know each other before?"
"Master Bai Juyi's poems are really beautiful!"
"It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty!"
Su Ziyu smiled and nodded: "Yes. I am from China, so naturally I like it very much."
"Ah! It turns out that the benefactor is from Tang Dynasty." Fujiwara Xiangzi covered her mouth in surprise.
Su Ziyu stood up and turned around. Next to it was a small study room, which contained a large number of books. There were many ancient books on Tang poetry, mostly by Bai Juyi. It seemed that the girl in front of him liked the poet Bai Juyi very much.
Huh
Su Ziyu saw a book on the desk. He looked at it curiously, read it out and said, "Murasaki Shikibu?"
"Did you write it?"
For a moment, it was like a bolt of lightning flashed across my brain.
Su Ziyu remembered a lot of things at once. He turned around and looked at the girl in front of him blankly. Seeing that she was a little at a loss, he said slowly: "Fujiwara Kako? Murasaki Shikibu?"
"Ah? This is the diary I wrote when I was bored." The girl said a little uneasily, mainly because Su Ziyu's expression looked a bit serious.
Damn it!
It's her!
Su Ziyu suddenly remembered the identity of the girl in front of him. She was the strange woman who wrote "The Tale of Genji". She was known as one of the thirty-six song fairies in the Middle Ages, and her literary status in Fuso was astonishing.
— "Spiritual vision!"
Su Ziyu looked at the girl in front of him again, and sure enough, she was still wrapped in that strange white aura, and it was getting stronger and stronger.
"Benefactor?" Fujiwara Xiangzi said timidly, as if she didn't understand why Su Ziyu was so surprised after seeing her diary. What was recorded in it were just some daily trivial matters.
Su Ziyu shook his head and chuckled: "Call me Su Ziyu."
"nothing."
"I'm just a little curious, and you look very much like an acquaintance of mine."
look alike
Fujiwara Xiangzi looked a little strange and whispered: "Really? Who is she? Can I meet her?"
"That might be a bit difficult." Su Ziyu shook his head.
Qing Xingdeng is already a monster.
There must be chaos in the ghost capital now. How could Su Ziyu take her to the underworld, unless Qing Xingdeng himself came to the Yang world to see her.
What was Qing Xingdeng’s past identity
Seeing how she behaved like a noble, and she looked so similar to the girl in front of her, Su Ziyu felt that she needed to test it out.
"I also found a book not long ago." Su Ziyu thought for a while and said softly: "It's just a book of ghost stories."
"I wonder if you would be scared."
Weird stories
Fujiwara Xiangzi's eyes were slightly bright, and she looked very curious. She whispered: "Can you really show it to me? It's okay! I usually read some weird stories occasionally!"
Su Ziyu took out the Story of Hundred Things and carefully handed it to the girl in front of him and said: "If you feel uncomfortable in any way, don't read it anymore."
"Hyakumonogatari?!" The moment Fujiwara Xiangzi saw the book, her face suddenly turned pale, and she seemed a little scared.
But after hesitating for a moment, she still reached out to take the book and murmured: "It's actually The Story of a Hundred Monogatari!... "
Fujiwara Xiangzi seems to know something.
Su Ziyu immediately asked: "What? Have you seen it before?"
"No..." Fujiwara Xiangzi shook her head, opened the Hyakumonogatari in front of her, and whispered: "I just remember that there was an aunt who loved ghost stories very much, and she planned to write a Hyakumonogatari herself."
"only… "
Su Ziyu quickly asked: "Just what?"
Fujiwara Xiangzi's expression showed a hint of fear and sadness, and she said timidly: "It's just that she disappeared later..."
disappeared
Su Ziyu immediately thought of Qing Xingdeng. He had seen some remaining scenes from the Story of Hundred Things. Judging from those scenes, Qing Xingdeng's family background at that time should have been very good, and he must have been a child of a noble family.
"What's her name?" Su Ziyu asked slowly.
Fujiwara Koko recalled it and whispered: "Fuji Hariko."
In an instant!
Su Ziyu felt a dark wind blowing from the ground in the room, and then invisible will-o'-the-wisps appeared on "Hundred Monogatari". Fujiwara Xiangzi only felt a little cold, and her whole body shivered involuntarily, and Su Ziyu Then he turned around and looked behind him calmly.
- "Green Lantern!"
Her figure appeared in front of Su Ziyu out of thin air, with a slightly complicated look in her eyes. She looked at Fujiwara Xiangzi in front of her, shook her head towards Su Ziyu, and said through a message: "Don't tell her!"
Su Ziyu thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Anyway.
After all, Fujiwara Xiangzi is just an ordinary person, and it is not a good thing for her to be exposed to too many worlds of monsters and monsters. However, there are also some stories about ghosts in The Tale of Genji. Seeing that she is a little scared and curious, she must be a hobby that is in the same vein as Qing Xingdeng.
Qing Xingdeng's eyes fell on Baimonogatari, and there was actually a trace of worry on the beautiful face.
She raised her bright wrist and waved gently, and the story of Hyakumonogatari automatically left the hands of Fujiwara Xiangzi and returned to Su Ziyu's hands.
really!
This curio is special.
Su Ziyu couldn't find a way to use it no matter how much he turned it over, but Qing Xingdeng could easily control it. This big monster must have some purpose in giving the story to him.
"Ghost Kyoto is very dangerous now!" Qing Xingdeng said, "The underworld is in chaos and demons are rampant."
"Be careful at night."
"If you want to find me, Hyakumonogatari will tell you where I am."
After saying this, Qingxing Deng turned into a burst of smoke and disappeared in front of his eyes.
"Ah?" Fujiwara Xiangzi was holding the Hyakumonogatari and reading it with gusto, but suddenly the book disappeared. When she looked up, she found that it was in Su Ziyu's hand. She hesitated and said: "I... can't I read it? …”
She had just read the Prajna chapter and found it very interesting.
"I have something to leave." Su Ziyu smiled and shook his head: "I'll see you again when I have the opportunity."
"Is that so... Is the benefactor about to leave?..." Fujiwara Xiangzi said with a somewhat reluctant expression.
Su Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "Don't go to Zhuque Street recently."
"The best thing is to leave Kyoto for a while."
After saying that, he ignored Fujiwara Koko's surprised gaze, turned around and walked out, disappearing on the street in the blink of an eye.
In a deserted alley.
Su Ziyu turned around and looked at the empty place behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Come out!"
Two warrior-like ghosts gradually emerged.
It's just that they are different from other Hades parades. They have the word "日" on their foreheads. These are the Sun parades, which are the wandering gods that appear during the day.
"Contamination found!"
After the two-day parade appeared, Su Ziyu couldn't help but look stunned, because the space-time monitor system actually showed a reminder of a pollutant.
"kill!"
"Kill!" The two warrior ghosts drew their swords and slashed at Su Ziyu at the same time.
Their pupils were a strange scarlet color, completely different from the night patrols they had seen before, and two icy sword lights slashed directly at Su Ziyu. After all, they were all warriors during their lives, and most of the abilities they retained after death were swordsmanship. The Soul Hook on their waists was more like a prop than a weapon.
Clang!
The meteor on Su Ziyu's waist was instantly unsheathed, and with a thought, streaks of lightning appeared on the sword of the meteor.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The two warrior ghosts pounced on him again. They surrounded Su Ziyu one after another, and at the same time they swung their swords to jump and slash. Their attacks were quite fierce, as if they wanted to make him unable to defend his front and rear at the same time.
bump.
Cracks appeared on the bluestone ground. Su Ziyu swung his sword towards a warrior ghost directly in front of him. The moment the two sides passed each other, a cold sword light flashed, accompanied by arcs of electricity jumping on the sword, before his eyes. The warrior ghost directly began to collapse towards the inside, and the entire body collapsed and shrank towards the inside, quickly disappearing and turning into a light black bead.
"Go!" The meteor in Su Ziyu's hand turned into a bolt of lightning and flew out.
He didn't turn around either.
The meteor sword directly pierced the warrior ghost behind him, and then after flying more than ten meters, Su Ziyu waved his hand gently and said: "Here comes the sword!"
A flash of lightning flashed across.
The meteor sword automatically flew back to Su Ziyu's hand.
Mind power.
After strengthening his spiritual power to LV6, Su Ziyu also strengthened his ability to control telekinesis. The power of his telekinesis has been greatly increased. Although he cannot reach the level of the bald professor, it is still very easy to control objects through the air with telekinesis. .
"Get 1 point of source power."
"Get 1 point of source power."
The two-day parade came a bit suddenly, and I don't know if it was Hades who sent him out to catch him, or if Qing Xingdeng just showed up to lure him here.
They all seemed to be unconscious, and they looked completely murderous.
What happened in Hades
Su Ziyu waved and two soul beads fell into the palm of his hand. He threw them into the storage space with a glance. They were all first-order rare items named 'Warrior Spirit'.
His figure soared into the sky.
Su Ziyu used the invisibility cloak to hide his traces and flew directly towards Rashomon.
The situation in Ghost Kyoto was unknown, and before Qing Xingdeng left, Su Ziyu felt that he needed to sneak in and investigate. These two day parades actually turned into monsters. If those night parades in Hades also turned into monsters , the situation is obviously very bad.
certainly.
This also means that there is a large amount of source power in Hades that can be obtained.
