I Am a Heroic Spirit

Kamo Tadayuki's mind turned, and he understood why Ashiya Doman was so sure that the Time Travel Army was related to that person. If that person was sealed again, the immortal person would naturally break the seal again after many years, and that person's resentment and evil thoughts would never let go of Abe Haruaki and Sara who sealed him.

However, humans cannot live beyond a thousand years. In order to seek revenge, that person can only choose to go back a thousand years and start all over again.

The aura emanating from the Time Travel Army fully confirmed this.

"The second thing is Zhang Luo, the Yin-Yang master who came from the Tang Kingdom. He masters a unique summoning technique that can summon ghosts from a parallel world." Ashiya Michiman continued.

"Ibaraki-douji, Shuten-douji, and Tamamono-neko, right?" Kamo Tadayuki said calmly. Parallel worlds weren't a difficult concept for the great Onmyoji. "It's unbelievable. They're all women in this parallel world."

Ashiya Doman said, "Isn't it very interesting? I really want to know what it would be like for Tamamonomae, Shuten-douji, Ibaraki-douji to meet those monsters from other worlds. It must be very interesting."

"However, the most crucial thing is not those ghosts, but the man named Zhang Luo. Two days ago, I discovered the power of the sword from him, the complete power of the divine sword." When he said this, Ashiya Doman's expression became solemn.

"That sword? You mean?" Kamo Tadayuki's face also changed. He knew what Ashiya Doman was talking about.

"Yes, it's that sword." Ashiya Doman confirmed Kamo Tadayuki's idea.

"...Is it the power of time correction caused by the one who intended to distort history? That sword should have been destroyed long ago." Kamo Tadayuki guessed that time is taboo. If you intend to tamper with time, it will definitely trigger a counterattack from time.

"It should be so. The only fragment of the sword is still in the underworld, but the complete sword power has appeared in the human world. Apart from the counterattack of time, there is no other possibility." Ashiya Doman agreed.

"Zhang Luo who possesses the power of sword, the time-traveling army enslaved by that person, Kagura who lost her memory for unknown reasons, everything can be connected to that person... Alas, the storm is coming." Kamo Tadayuki turned his head to look at the night outside and sighed.

"This development is already good. At least we have enough counterattack capability." Ashiya Doman shook his head and looked up at the night sky outside the door.

The next morning, the sun shone brightly on the courtyard. Inside, the grass swayed in the wind, its fragrance mingling with the scent of flowers. The sunlit courtyard felt like a paradise. That would be it, if nothing unexpected had happened.

Zhang Luo woke up early, not because of anything else, but because it was too noisy. The noise outside woke Zhang Luo from his sleep.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Luo lifted the quilt, staggered out of bed, walked to the door, pushed it open, and looked outside. He saw that it was very noisy outside.

The three Heroic Spirits—Ibaraki-douji, Shuten-douji, and Tamamono-neko—clashed with the four Shikigami—Inugami, Aoandon, Kamaitachi, and Aobozu. The demon zither master and Zashiki-warashi, who hadn't been out the previous day, stood by to assist the Shikigami. Haku leaped around outside the battle circle, shouting and trying to break up the fight. Kagura and Abe no Haruaki stood aside, intently watching the battle, ready to intervene at any moment. Yaobikuni sat under the eaves, calmly observing the battle in the courtyard.

"Ibaraki, Shuten, Tamamo-neko, what are you doing?!"

Zhang Luo shouted loudly with a headache.

How did the situation turn out like this? We were just here to stay overnight, but a fight broke out.

A minute later, Zhang Luo, Ibaraki Douji, Shuten Douji, Tamamono-neko, Abe no Haruaki, Kagura, Yaobikuni, Xiaobai, Aoandon, Kamaitachi, Youkotsu, Inugami, Aobozu, Zashiki-warashi, a total of fourteen people, sat in a circle on the tatami in the main room.

After some communication, Zhang Luo finally understood how the previous melee started.

Early in the morning, before Zhang Luo woke up, Shuten-douji dragged Ibaraki-douji and Tamamo-neko to the double cherry tree in the yard to drink. Because most of the barriers set up in the mansion were external, Shuten-douji and the others were not affected and did not make any noise. They got drunk under the double cherry tree and took a lot of fish from the kitchen.

It was not until Qingxuande came back from collecting materials that she discovered these three big monsters who treated the mansion as their own home, but whom she did not recognize at all.

Ibaraki Douji always liked to play pranks, and he became even more rampant when drunk. He directly told Aoandon that Abe Haruaki had been captured by her.

Then the battle broke out. When Abe Haruaki and the other three came out of the room, the battle had reached a climax. If Shuten-doji and the others had not been concerned about using their treasures in case Zhang Luo woke up, Abe Haruaki's Shikigami would have been lost.

At this time, although Qing Xingdeng and the others knew that this battle was a complete misunderstanding, they were unable to stop it until the noise and the speed of magic power extraction were too fast, which woke Zhang Luo up and they stopped the battle.

"You guys really are something. Don't you know we are guests?" Zhang Luo scolded Shuten-doji and the other two dissatisfiedly.

However, apart from Tamamo-neko who was obedient, Shuten-douji was grinning and Ibaraki-douji was nonchalant, and did not take Zhang Luo's words seriously at all.

"I'm very sorry, they just like to play pranks and don't mean any harm." Zhang Luo apologized to Abe Haruaki awkwardly.

"Ha, what nonsense are you talking about? I am a ghost, an evildoer who eats, invades and plunders human property." Ibaraki Douji said proudly with his arms folded across his chest.

Can't you give me some face when there are outsiders around?

Zhang Luo slapped his forehead, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally...

"I understand," Abe Haruaki smiled slightly, not caring about Ibaraki Douji's rudeness. After all, although Ibaraki Douji was arrogant, he didn't really cause any casualties to his Shikigami. "It must be very hard to have a Shikigami like this."

"Not bad." Zhang Luo said with a dry laugh.

"You, are you trying to sow discord between me and the Master?" Ibaraki Douji stood up with a bang, put one foot on the low table in front of him, and looked down at Abe Haruaki. "As expected, no matter where you are, you are so annoying. Come on, let's have a fight."

Having said so much, the last sentence should be your purpose.

Zhang Luo complained silently in his heart, grabbed Ibaraki Douji and pulled him down from the low table.

"Don't cause trouble for the master, Ibaraki." Shuten-doji leaned aside and said lightly.

"Those are not important. I just want to ask, could these three be the great monsters Shuten-douji, Ibaraki-douji, and Tamamonomae?" Abe Haruaki's smile froze, and then he asked.

"That's right, I am the leader of the Oeyama demons, Ibaraki Douji." Sitting down on the tatami, Ibaraki Douji's momentum remained undiminished.

"I am Shuten-doji." Shuten-doji said with a chuckle.

For a moment, except for Zhang Luo and a few people who were unaware of the situation, everyone's expressions froze and their pupils widened, as if they had heard something incredible.

"What a joke! How could Ibaraki-douji and Shuten-douji be girls!!!" Xiaobai shouted in horror. Aoandon, the demon zither master, Kamaitachi, Aobouzu, Inugami, and Yaobikuni also had expressions of horror on their faces. Only Abe Haruaki, Kagura, and Zashiki-warashi, who had only a vague knowledge of the demon clan, were just a little surprised and puzzled.

"This isn't something to be surprised about." Looking at everyone's strange expressions, Zhang Luo felt secretly happy, but his face remained extremely calm.

"How could it be unnecessary!"

Several shikigami shouted together.

It can be said that there is no acquaintance without fighting. After a fight and an exchange, the relationship between the heroic spirits and the shikigami has improved. Could this be the way monsters make friends?

In the afternoon, the Shikigami and Heroic Spirits were playing leisurely in the courtyard. When Zhang Luo, Abe Haruaki, and Yaobikuni were sitting under the double cherry blossoms and discussing their magical attainments, Ashiya Doman walked in from outside.

"Harumi-kun, your door seems to be broken." When entering the house, Ashiya Doman glanced at the two open doors, and then said as he walked towards the Yaezakura.

"There won't be any thieves, and even if there are thieves, nothing will be stolen." Abe 4.1 Haruaki stood up and bowed slightly to Ashiya Doman to show respect.

"Good afternoon, Master Doman." Zhang Luo and the eight hundred nuns also stood up and greeted Ashiya Doman.

"Good afternoon." Ashiya Doman also responded with a smile.

"Are you here to help Qingming recover his memory?" Kagura asked.

"Yes, and your memories." Ashiya Doman

Chapter 181 The Missing Kagura

Zhang Luo lived a very leisurely life during this period. Going back in time, the army had not appeared since Himeji Castle, and no major events were found in the Heian-kyo area. At most, there were a few small monsters who wanted to make trouble, but they were quickly dealt with by the Onmyoji Bureau.

Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, perhaps because they had returned to their own era, were stimulated and dragged Tamamo-neko around all day long. Once, they even brought back the Nine-Lived Cat. However, since Zhang Luo had not heard of any powerful monsters causing trouble in Heian-kyo, he did not pay much attention to them.

"Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis, Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis, something bad has happened."

That evening, Zhang Luo was in the room of Babai Bhikkhuni, discussing divination with her when Xiaobai rushed in from outside and said in a panic.

"What's wrong? Xiaobai." Zhang Luo stopped talking and looked at Xiaobai.

"Lord Zhang Luo is here too? It's like this, Lord Kagura is missing, and Lord Qingming asked me to ask Lady Yaobikuni for help." Xiaobai was surprised for a moment and said hurriedly.

"Kagura is missing!"

Zhang Luo31 and the eight hundred bhikkhunis exclaimed at the same time.

However, unlike Yaobikuni, Zhang Luo immediately recalled the plot. The plot where Kagura disappeared should be when Minamoto no Boya first appeared.

"That's right, Lady Kagura suddenly disappeared. Lord Qingming searched for her for a long time and asked the little monsters around, but none of them knew where Lady Kagura was. So Lord Qingming asked me to find Lady Yaobikuni." Xiaobai nodded quickly.

"Then let's go quickly, it would be bad if we encounter danger."

Zhang Luo stood up and said to Xiaobai, and the eight hundred nuns also picked up the staffs placed aside.

"Uh-huh."

Xiaobai nodded repeatedly, turned around and ran out, followed by Zhang Luo and the eight hundred nuns.

As soon as everyone went out, they ran into Abe Haruaki who was coming back from outside.

Abe Haruaki went out to look for Kagura's whereabouts from the nearby ghosts, but he didn't find any clues.

"Yaobikuni, this time it depends on you." Abe Haruaki said to Yaobikuni solemnly.

Abe Haruaki is very worried now, because the power in Kagura's body can easily defeat the power of the big monster. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl has the power to crush the big monster, which will definitely attract prying eyes. In addition, Kagura has lost her memory and the secrets hidden behind it, so Abe Haruaki can't rest assured.

Bw

"Don't worry, Qingming. I'll come and divine Kagura's location now." .:/

As Yaobikuni spoke, she waved her staff and used the divination spell. The dark blue power of the stars surrounded Yaobikuni and formed strange runes.

"Found it, Kagura is at Kuroyoru Mountain right now." Yaobikuni got the exact location through the divination spell.

"Kuroyayama?" Abe Haruaki asked in surprise, "I remember that was where Kagura and I first met."

"Yes, it is the Dark Night Mountain." said the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni affirmatively.

After getting the address, Zhang Luo, Yaobikuni, Abe Haruaki and Xiaobai set off together, leaving Heian-kyo and heading towards Kuroyoru Mountain.

I didn’t expect that we would actually come to Dark Night Mountain…”

Under the desolate dark night, facing the chilly wind, Xiaobai couldn't help but shiver and said a little anxiously, "Is Lady Kagura really in a place like this? At a time like this, we can only hope that Lady Yaobikuni's divination is wrong."

Xiaobai had reason to say this. The Dark Night Mountain was shrouded in yin energy, and several places there exuded strong demonic energy. It was obviously not a safe place. If Kagura was really here, she would most likely be in danger.

"Although I also want to divine Kagura's exact location, but the spiritual energy consumption is too great, and I... Sorry, please let me rest for a moment."

Yaobikuni said with regret that Kagura's identity was unusual after all, and even the most superficial divination was not so easy, let alone more specific divination.

"It's enough that we already know the approximate location. We can look around and we should be able to get clues about Kagura from the local monsters." Zhang Luo said.

"Zhang Luo is right. It is enough to know that we are in the Dark Night Mountain. There is no need for you to apologize." Abe Haruaki said gently to Yaobikuni.

The three men and the fox walked up the mountain. Although the mountain was very desolate, there were several small paths leading up the mountain. They walked along the paths.

When they reached nearly halfway up the mountain, the trail came to an end. Everyone walked out of the mountain road and stopped on the wasteland, looking around at the scenery in all directions, not knowing where to go.

"Let me do some divination, just the direction. With my current spiritual power, it should be enough." said the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni.

"Thank you for your help." Abe Haruaki said to Yaobikuni.

The eight hundred bhikkhunis raised their staffs and were about to cast the divination spell.

At this time, heavy noises and shouts came from afar, interrupting the eight hundred nuns' spellcasting.

Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, but the sound seemed a little far away. In addition, the mountain was covered with huge rocks and wild trees, so people couldn't see where the noise came from.

"There seems to be some noise over there, maybe it's Lord 523 Kagura, let's go and take a look!" Xiaobai shouted loudly, eager to rush over.

"Let's go." Abe Haruaki was worried that the clues he had finally found would disappear, so he didn't want to delay for a moment and walked towards the direction where the sound came from. Zhang Luo, Bayi Bikuni, and Xiaobai followed closely behind him.

After walking fifty meters along the mountain road, everyone stopped. In front of them was a wasteland with potholes all over the ground. There were also traces of burning and blood left over from the battle.

"Where are the people?" Looking at the deserted wasteland, Abe Haruaki frowned and became anxious again. The longer the time went on, the greater the possibility that Kagura would be in danger. He could not afford to delay.

"The sound should indeed come from this side. There are traces of fighting here..." Xiaobai jumped to the bloodstain, sniffed it, and said in confusion.

"It's obvious that the enemy has moved the battlefield. Let's look around. They shouldn't be too far away. After all, our speed is not slow." Zhang Luo suggested.

"That makes sense." The eight hundred bhikkhunis agreed.

Abe Haruaki tried hard to suppress the anxiety in his heart, and directly activated his spiritual vision, starting to investigate along the fluctuations of spiritual power around him.

Chapter 182 Yuan Boya

"Found it! Over there!"

Abe Haruaki discovered the two nearest sources of spiritual power from the surrounding spiritual power fluctuations and immediately ran towards the mountain.

"Hahahaha! What if we fell into the trap!" After moving forward more than ten meters and passing through a barren forest, wild laughter was heard.

"We're almost there." Abe Haruaki was cheered up and quickened his pace. Zhang Luo and Yaobikuni also began to cast spells on themselves.

"But this trap is just so-so, it's not painful at all." As they gradually approached the place where the spiritual energy was rioting, a disdainful voice sounded.

"You, what did you say!"

The previous voices became panicky. After everyone passed through the wild woods, they saw a man wearing a water-resistant coat, deerskin boots, a long sword hanging on the left side of his waist, and a bow and arrow on his back. He jumped up, turned in the air, took out a strong bow from his back, then bent the bow and put an arrow on it. The powerful demon-repelling spiritual power gathered on the arrow head.

"Look at the arrow!"

The man shouted and shot an arrow, the arrow pointing directly at the open space not far away. With a scream, a male monster with beautiful hair appeared out of thin air and was nailed to the ground by the man's arrow, unable to move.

“Ahhhhh! How, how could this be… Impossible…”

The male youkai's voice grew weaker, filled with disbelief.

"Hmph, a mere human, you probably don't take me seriously at all. But it's really a pity that you can't even catch up with me, Minamoto no Boya!" The warrior known as Minamoto no Boya sneered at the monster with disdain.

Abe no Haruaki, who had arrived earlier than Zhang Luo and Yaobikuni, seemed to have witnessed the fight between Minamoto no Boya and the monster and could not help but praise him, "It's really wonderful, and his martial arts are superb!"

Hearing Abe Haruaki's voice, Minamoto no Hiromasa looked in the direction and saw Abe Haruaki walking out of the wild woods.
