The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 803: Enemy in Honnoji Part 22 ()

"Yin?" Fushigi Yoko asked in disbelief, not even noticing that Xiaoju left her side.

She glanced at the magic sword in her hand. The sword no longer had the familiar aura it carried. All she could see on the sword were her own slightly trembling eyes. It was like an ordinary sword.

"Don't be in a daze." Fu Muyin said with a smile: "It is indeed me, not a fake..."

With one strike of the knife, a flash of knife light passed by, and Fushiki Yoko had completed the swing of the knife. If it were a normal situation, this Fushiki Yin would have been beheaded by now, but the blade went straight through Fushiki Yin's neck like it was passing through water waves.

"Yoko, you..." Fumu Yin smiled happily, "I am really happy that you didn't let your guard down even at this time. It seems that you can protect yourself without me. I feel relieved."

"Yin? Is it really you?" Fushigi Yoko's chest was heaving, and her hand holding the knife was a little stiff. Fushigi Yoko asked: "Why did you become like this?"

"Sit down first." Fu Muyin said, "You should remember it."

There were noisy sounds from other guests next door, but this private room was the only one that was relatively quiet.

The hot food on the table made the whole room filled with mist. Fushigi Yoko put the knife aside, lowered her head and sat opposite Fushigi Yin, feeling a little at a loss.

She finally remembered that this was the scene of their first dinner date after they had just confirmed their relationship.

The two people first met because of a supernatural incident. There was no love at first sight. They were just a temporary partner to solve supernatural incidents at the beginning, and they disliked each other. After a series of inexplicable things, the two finally got together. A lot of things happened in between, and it is very sad to recall them now.

"What happened here?" Fushigi Yoko asked, "Why are you here?"

Fumu Yin said: "Because I am the [couple] you are looking for."

Fushigi Yoko looked up: "What?"

"I am the couple you are looking for." Fumu Yin repeated, and said, "Your goal is to cut off the source of power for the Yellow Spring House. You need to drive the five guests out, right?"

Fushigi Yoko clenched her hands into fists and shook her head, "I don't understand. What does this have to do with you?"

"You're playing dumb again." Fumu Yin smiled: "Every time you don't want to do something troublesome, you play dumb and ask me to do it. You should change this habit, because I can no longer help you like before."

"Why me!" Fushigi Yoko suddenly exploded. She shouted angrily: "They must know about this and know that you are still in this knife, so they asked me to do this, right? Why doesn't Qian Xiaoyi do it himself? I..."

Tears dripped down and fell on the tatami. Fushigi Yoko lowered her head and choked up, "I... I have nothing left, why do you want to take you away?"

Fushigi Yin said: "Yoko...what's in that sword is just a remnant soul, isn't it? There's no way to talk to you, and I can't live with you like before. You should know that when you were returned by Hayafune Chizuru, my obsession had already dissipated, and what's in the sword is just a remnant shadow, like a flower in the water, a moon in the mirror."

"Then what are you?" Fushigi Yoko asked, "Now you can talk to me and respond to me, what kind of existence are you?"

"I am your memory." Fu Muyin said calmly: "In this special place, I can appear in front of you in this way. I will say what Fu Muyin would say, and I will do what Fu Muyin would do. You know me too well, so you can imagine any behavior of mine."

"No... I don't want to be like that..." Fushigi Yoko shook her head: "Why me? Why me..." "Because only in this way can the core of the Yellow Spring House be materialized. The deeper the bond, the deeper it can reach." Fushigi Yin came to Fushigi Yoko, hugged her, and said: "This is the specialty of the Ashiya-ryu Onmyoji, isn't it? Only by paying a price can you get out of trouble..."

"Don't say anymore..." Fuki Yoko hugged Fuki Yin tightly and said, "At least now, let me be quiet for a while."

Fushigi Yin calmed down and was silently and tenderly with Fushigi Yoko.

In the other room, Xiaoju opened the door and put a pot of wine on the table.

"Please enjoy."

On both sides of the table were two monks, they were about the same age, around 40 years old, and looked like brothers, but in fact, they were father and son.

Liuliyuan Guanghui had his hands clasped, looking at his son with a serious expression without saying anything. After Xiaoju left, he pulled his hands out of his sleeves, picked up the wine jug, and poured a glass of wine for both of them.

"It's been so many years since we last met, and you've grown so much. In that case, let's have a drink first." Liuliyuan Guanghui said as he poured the wine, "Is this the first time that we, father and son, have a drink together?"

"Yes." Liuliyuan Hongming said, "When you passed away, I was not old enough to drink. Although I drank secretly in private, I never drank with you."

"Didn't expect that I would be here?" Liuliyuan Guanghui raised his glass and said.

"That's true." Liuliyuan Hongming also picked up the wine glass, clinked it with the other party, and then drank the wine in the glass. He put down the glass and said, "I was surprised when I saw you appear in front of me... So, you are the [relative] of one of the five guests? And..."

Liuliyuan Hongming looked around and said, "The environment here makes me nostalgic. It seems that at that time, our family would occasionally have a dinner party at an izakaya like this. Everything is so familiar."

"How is your mother?" asked Liuliyuan Guanghui.

"I am in good health and spirits," Liuliyuan Hongming replied, "I am currently traveling overseas with my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"That's good." Liuliyuan Guanghui nodded, and the room fell into silence.

Liuliyuan Hongming didn't know what to say. He didn't know his father well, so he could only talk about some topics related to exorcism. He was basically the one doing all the talking while Liuliyuan Guanghui listened and asked a question occasionally.

After an unknown amount of time, Liuliyuan Guanghui suddenly interrupted the topic: "Okay, we've had our fill of wine, and your report is done, it's time to get down to business. Don't forget your mission, man. Don't be so fussy and indulge in a false illusion."

Liuliyuan Hongming smiled bitterly and said, "Father, you are still like this... Generally speaking, this kind of illusion will always make the target sink, but you did the opposite and actually took the initiative to stop me."

Liuliyuan Guanghui snorted coldly: "If I nag you like a woman, is that still my character? I'm afraid this is also the reason why Qian Xiaoyi asked you to come here."

He looked at his son and said, "One more thing. You are the successor of Mingguang Liu. It is natural that you can do this. Seeing you now, I am very proud... So stop talking. You don't have time. Do it."

"I understand... Father." Liuliyuan Hongming sighed and said, "Yes... It's time to end all this. Mr. Qian must have been waiting for a long time, right?"
