I Am a Heroic Spirit

However, Xiao Wuhuan finally shook his head and said, "Retreat, it's almost dawn, and we've killed enough humans."

"Well, I'm not interested in attacking ordinary people either." Mikazuki Munechika nodded in agreement. Perhaps it was because the impact he had suffered in the past was too great. Even if he had fallen into the devil, he didn't want to attack ordinary civilians.

Daiden Tai Guangshi also expressed the same

Chapter 175 Phoenix Forest

Dawn slowly opened the curtain, and another brilliant and colorful morning descended on the world with freshness.

The villagers in the village got up from their beds at the sound of roosters crowing, walked out of their rooms, and started a new day's work.

Zhang Luo opened the door, walked out of the room, stretched in the yard, his face full of fatigue.

Last night, in order to supply the magic power for the battle between Princess Xingbu and Miyamoto Musashi, Zhang Luo's magic power was depleted twice and has not been replenished yet. He also did not sleep all night, which made Zhang Luo physically and mentally exhausted.

"Crench."

The door next to him was also pushed open, and Ashiya Doman walked out. The expression on his face was almost exactly the same as Zhang Luo's, which clearly indicated that Ashiya Doman also did not get much rest last night.

"Good morning, Master Doman." Zhang Luo heard the door open and turned to greet Ashiya Doman.

"Good morning." Ashiya Doman forced himself to cheer up and looked at Zhang Luo, only to find that Zhang Luo also looked listless. Then he looked at the three beautiful monsters coming out of the room behind Zhang Luo, and with a strange smile on his face, he said jokingly, "Young man, you must learn to be moderate, otherwise it will be bad when you get old."

"Uh……"

Zhang Luo was speechless for a moment, then immediately said, "It seems you didn't know how to be restrained when you were young. Otherwise, you wouldn't be like this."

Now Ashiya Doman's smile froze. He coughed twice and skipped the topic. Otherwise, he couldn't explain why he still looked exhausted after a night's rest.

Two minutes later, the samurai in the next room also came out. After everyone filled their stomachs with something to eat at the village chief's house, Ashiya Doman set up a barrier for the village to resist demons and monsters, and then set off again.

After two days and one night of travel, the group finally arrived at the territory of Heian-kyo. It would not take much time to enter Kyoto.

The sky had become dark and the moon had risen. There was not a single cloud in the sky, and the moonlight could shine on the ground without any obstruction. Zhang Luo and others could continue their journey overnight.

Just as he was passing by a forest, Ashiya Doman suddenly stopped and looked at the forest not far away.

Zhang Luo felt something and followed Ashiya Doman's gaze into the depths of the forest.

"Ah, such a thick miasma, just like the underworld." Shuten-doji looked at the forest and said casually.

"There is also the power of fire, with a bit of divinity. What is that?" Zhang Luo continued.

"That's the Phoenix Forest, and the shrine dedicated to the phoenix is ​​inside," explained Ashiya Doman.

"How could it be? With such a gloomy atmosphere, it's no doubt that it is the underworld. It's too strange to say that it is a place for worshiping the phoenix." Zhang Luo asked pretending to be ignorant, but he began to recall in his heart.

He didn't remember the plot of Onmyoji very clearly, and the Heian period in this world obviously had more than just the plot of Onmyoji, but Zhang Luo still remembered Phoenix Forest. In the third chapter of Onmyoji, there lived an SR-level queen shikigami, Phoenix Fire, and Yaobikuni, one of the four protagonists.

Looking at the current situation, could it be that Abe Haruaki has not been here yet?

"It's very strange. The phoenix is ​​a spiritual bird burning with the fire of life. It is one of the four guardian gods. Its strength and status are even higher than mine. Why has this place fallen into such a state?"

Ibaraki Douji also expressed his doubts. If there was a big monster here, it would be okay. But since this was the territory of the Phoenix, how could it become like this?

"That's right, this place should be more vibrant." Zhang Luo agreed.

Shuten-doji didn't say anything, as if he had realized something.

"The Phoenix Shrine here was abandoned a long time ago. No one knows where the Phoenix Master inside has gone. Only Phoenix Master Fire is left to guard it."

At this time, an old man appeared from the forest and walked towards Ashiya Michiman.

After the old man finished introducing the Phoenix Forest, he greeted Ashiya Doman and said, "Master Doman, it's been a long time since we last met."

Ashiya Doman bowed slightly and responded, "Indeed, it has been five or six years, Lord Land God."

"Land God?" Zhang Luo's expression was a bit strange. Judging from the guy's attire and the green hair hanging down his head, wasn't he the so-called mountain hermit? The NPC who specifically showed the way to Bei Qingming. However, unlike the old man in the Onmyoji, this guy had a white piece of paper with a name on it taped to his face.

After introducing the two parties, Ashiya Michiman asked the God of Land his doubts: "Lord God of Land, may I ask what happened here? Why is there such a strong yin energy in the Phoenix Shrine?"

"That happened thirty years ago. A crack in the underworld suddenly appeared here. Later, a snow girl monster set up some strange magic circle here. It seemed to be a summoning or something, but it was too advanced. I'm not an onmyoji, so I can't tell what it was. But later, the formation was discovered by Master Phoenix Fire. Because of Master Phoenix Fire's approach, the snow girl monster quickly fled."

The land god told the whole story. Although he was not very powerful, nothing that happened on this land could be hidden from him.

Ashiya Doman frowned and said in a deep voice, "In other words, it is precisely because the spell was interrupted that the Yin energy leaked out. The miasma that enveloped the entire forest originated from here."

The land god said, "Yes."

Ashiya Michiman asked again: "Has it not been resolved yet? Heian-kyo is nearby, and Kamo Tadayuki's ability will not be a problem in solving this matter."

The land god explained, "Because the Snow Woman Monster only recently came here to cause trouble, I didn't have time to deal with it. I had planned to go find Master Kamo Tadayuki today, but before that, Master Abe Haruaki, a disciple of Master Kamo Tadayuki, came over."

"Oh? It's Haruaki." Ashiya Doman was a little surprised, but he immediately realized that this was probably a trial specially left for Abe Haruaki by Kamo Tadayuki.

"Is it the Abe Haruaki who is known as the White Fox Prince?" Zhang Luo asked with interest.

"Yes, that gentleman is inside now." The land god spoke, but he did not look over here, which seemed a little rude.

However, Zhang Luo could see some fear on the face of the land god, as if he was afraid of something. Zhang Luo turned his head and looked at the two ghost kings swaggering beside him, and immediately understood what the land god was afraid of.

"Hmm... Master Zhang Luo, are you interested in seeing Abe Haruaki's abilities?" After thinking for a few seconds, Ashiya Doman made an invitation to Zhang Luo with interest.

"Of course I'm interested. I also want to meet the White Fox Prince." Zhang Luo gladly accepted Ashiya Doman's invitation. He had finally come to Heian-kyo, so how could he not meet the legendary White Fox Prince.

"Ha, the Abe Haruaki in this world sounds very interesting." Shuten-doji chuckled, obviously very interested in this Abe Haruaki.

"I don't know how strong he is. Can he withstand my punch?" A glimmer of fighting spirit flashed in Ibaraki Douji's eyes. She had never fought with Abe Haruaki from her world, so she didn't know what Abe Haruaki of this world was like.

"Lord Abe Haruaki has just gone in. If you go now, you should be able to catch up." The land god said...

"Since everyone agrees, let's go in and take a look." Ashiya Doman nodded to the land god and said.

As for the envoy of the Lord of Harima Province, he is not qualified to make a decision here.

The land god took a step back and disappeared, while Ashiya Doman, Zhang Luo and his group walked towards the forest.

After entering the forest, everyone found a winding path leading to the depths of the forest. They walked along the path in the gloomy forest. Not long after, they heard conversations coming from the front.

"That guy is so abominable! He actually separated Xiaobai and Lord Qingming. What if Lord Qingming gets into danger? And he even dared to burn Xiaobai!"

"Xiaobai, are you okay? Aren't you hot anymore?"

"It's okay, it's just a flame. It will go out easily. But it was really hot just now."

"That's good."

……

Hearing the voice and Haruaki's name, everyone immediately realized that they were about to catch up with Abe Haruaki, so they quickened their pace.

After walking around a group of trees, everyone saw the person who had just spoken. It was a little white fox, and a girl with dark hair, a goldfish-shaped hair accessory, and a delicate and lovely face. The girl was holding an umbrella with a white background and black patterns in her hand.

"An unpleasant smell."

"Is that person's reincarnation a sacrifice?"

Shuten-douji frowned slightly and complained imperceptibly, and Ibaraki-douji looked at the girl with a strange look.

"What?" Zhang Luo heard Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji talking, but he didn't hear clearly, so he turned around and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that Abe Haruaki doesn't seem to be here." Shuten-doji said calmly.

"He should have gone deep into the forest." Zhang Luo said. Xiaobai and Kagura were both here, so Abe Haruaki naturally wouldn't leave too far.

"who!"

The big monster named Xiaobai, whose real identity is Bai Zangzhu, discovered Zhang Luo and others coming from behind, and immediately jumped out to block Kagura.

"Master Bai Zang, I haven't seen you for a few years. How come you have become like this?" Ashiya Doman walked forward with a smile.

"You are Lord Ashiya Doman! How come you are here?" Xiaobai exclaimed when he saw the true identity of the person.

"I heard that Qingming lost 3.1 memories, so I came to see him." Ashiya Doman said lightly, with no intention of revealing the real reason.

After all, although Hakuzo was subdued by Abe Haruaki, there is another Abe Haruaki now. It would be bad if the information that cannot be leaked was taken away by him. After all, the current situation is not good. Whether it is Himeji Castle or the underworld crack that appeared here, they are all related to that existence.

"Isn't this Kagura? Why don't you recognize me?" After communicating with Xiaobai, Ashiya Doman looked at Kagura, as if he had seen her before.

"Um, I'm so sorry, who are you?" Kagura took a step back and asked timidly.

"Have you lost your memory too? In that case, forget it. It's good enough that we knew each other before. I am Ashiya Doman." When Ashiya Doman saw Kagura's look, he thought a lot in his mind. In the end, he was worried and didn't say much. Instead, he communicated with Xiaobai.

Strange, isn't Kagura Minamoto no Hiromasa's sister? Why is Ashiya Doman like this?

Zhang Luo noticed Ashiya Doman's attitude and felt puzzled.

Since Minamoto no Hiromasa did not lose his memory and did not know Abe Haruaki, it means that Minamoto no Hiromasa and Kagura had no intersection with Abe Haruaki before. Why did Ashiya Doman know Kagura?

Zhang Luo's mind was in a tangle, a real headache. The more he saw, the more he knew, and the more he wondered.

Chapter 176 Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis

"Hey hey hey! Who are they?! Why does that cat demon's aura resemble Tamamo-sama's?"

Xiaobai quickly noticed the Yumo cat following behind Zhang Luo, and his fur suddenly stood on end, and he shouted in surprise.

As Abe Haruaki's Shikigami, Xiaobai naturally recognized Tamamonomae's aura. He had not noticed Tamamonomae because he suddenly saw Ashiya Doman, whom he had not seen for many years. But when he came to his senses, he immediately noticed Tamamonomae.

"Hello, I am one of Tamamo's nine-tailed beasts, the wild fox Tamamo-neko. Please give me your guidance." Tamamo-neko jumped out, squatted in front of Xiaobai, and greeted Xiaobai excitedly.

"What?" Xiaobai stepped back, a confused look on his face. Isn't Tamamonomae a male fox? Where did this guy come from?

"This is Master Zhang Luo from Tang. Those three are his Shikigami. This time they are traveling to Heian-kyo." Ashiya Doman explained concisely, then asked, "Where's Qingming? Where did he go?"

Seeing Ashiya Doman asking questions, Xiaobai put aside Tamamo Cat's question for the time being and said with some annoyance, "Lord Qingming was taken inside by Phoenix Fire, saying that he was going to solve the miasma problem in the forest. That damn Phoenix Fire didn't allow us to follow and set up a barrier here."

"That's it."

Ashiya Doman looked up and saw that the road leading into the depths of the forest was somewhat hot and dry. Even standing there, he could feel the temperature rising.

"I'll go and take a look first." Ashiya Doman left a word and walked towards the depths of the forest. When he passed the barrier, a flash of light passed through his body and the barrier seemed to be non-existent, without causing any hindrance to Ashiya Doman.

"Eh?" Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, watching Ashiya Doman walk away in confusion. It took him a while to react and he shouted, "Master Doman, wait for us! Take us in too!"

"Xiaobai, don't run around. Qingming said that we should wait for him here." Kagura picked up Xiaobai, who seemed to have transformed and rushed over, and persuaded him gently.

"No! What if Lord Haruaki is in danger?" Xiaobai struggled to get out of Kagura's arms, but Kagura was worried that Xiaobai would cause trouble for Abe Haruaki, so she hugged him too tightly, making Xiaobai afraid to change back to his original form, and unable to change back to his original form. Xiaobai also didn't have the strength to break free from Kagura's arms.

"We'll go in first, you guys wait." Zhang Luo waved to Kagura with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang Luo." Kagura responded politely.

Accompanying Ibaraki-douji, Shuten-douji, and Tamamo-neko, Zhang Luo walked towards the only way to enter the forest. The scorching phoenix fire rushed towards him. Zhang Luo chanted a spell, avoided the erosion of the flames, and passed through the barrier of the phoenix fire.

However, Ibaraki-douji, Shuten-douji, and Tamamono-neko were not as troublesome as Zhang Luo. They just released their demonic energy to offset the demonic power of the Phoenix Fire.

Walking on the forest path, you can hear noisy sounds behind you at first, but as you go deeper into the forest, the noisy sounds gradually disappear.

Zhang Luo walked quickly for about a minute and finally saw the figure of Ashiya Doman. He saw Ashiya Doman hiding stealthily behind a thick tree in front. Ten meters ahead was an open land. There was a strange building that looked a bit old. It looked like some kind of altar. Not far from the altar, there was also a dilapidated shrine, but it didn't seem to have any dust, so it should be cleaned regularly.

Zhang Luo walked over quietly, but before he got close, he was discovered by Ashiya Doman. However, Ashiya Doman did not say anything, but just waved to Zhang Luo to signal him to slow down.

When Zhang Luo walked over, he found that Ashiya Michiman had an expression as if he was about to watch a good show.

·!c彳

"There is an acquaintance here who knows Haruaki, and they used to have a close relationship." Ashiya Doman said quietly.

Zhang Luo quickly signaled Ibaraki-douji, Shuten-douji and Tamamono-neko to transform into spirit forms, and then hide in the dark nearby.

It was indeed a good show. The person that Ashiya Doman was talking about should be Yaobikuni. He said that she and Abe Haruaki once knew each other and had a close relationship. Could it be that Yaobikuni was once an old cow eating young grass? Roughly speaking, Yaobikuni is at least more than two hundred years old now.

Through the cover of the forest, Zhang Luo looked inside and saw Abe Haruaki communicating with Yaobikuni. It seemed that Abe Haruaki had just arrived not long ago.

"I heard there was a fortune teller here, and I thought she was some kind of demon, but she turned out to be a beautiful woman."

Abe Haruaki's movements were similar to those in the game. He stood straight, and his right hand holding the fan gently tapped his left hand, looking like an elegant nobleman.

Abe Haruaki asked in confusion, "What do you mean by the man of destiny?"

"Ah, I'm so happy that you praise me like this!" Yaobikuni smiled and walked lightly towards Abe no Haruaki. She said, "My name is Yaobikuni, and I'm a wandering fortune teller. My body is cursed. Please end my life with your own hands."

She asked the other party to end his life as soon as they met. Did she and Abe Haruaki really know each other?

Zhang Luo curled the corner of his mouth and turned his head to look at Ashiya Doman on the other side.

Ashiya Doman felt Zhang Luo's gaze and whispered, "Yabai Bikuni is an immortal priestess who once ate mermaid flesh. Even I can't kill her."

At this moment, Zhang Luo felt someone's eyes on him. He turned his head and saw that the Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis seemed to have glanced at the forest here unintentionally. It seemed that she had noticed the conversation just now.

However, Yaobikuni did not expose Zhang Luo and Ashiya Doman's plan. She just glanced at them and continued to look at Abe Haruaki. And Abe Haruaki did not seem to notice anything wrong.

Abe no Haruaki was startled by Yaobikuni's words. He was stunned for a moment before he said awkwardly, "Even though you asked me to kill you, there's no reason for me to agree to it."

"As expected, I guessed that Mr. Qingming would say that."
