I Am a Heroic Spirit

Looking at Minamoto Boya's lonely figure, Kagura said without knowing what was going on.

"However, he is indeed a superb martial artist and very skilled in the art of barrier making. Moreover, he is a relative of the Emperor and a descendant of the Genji clan." Seeing that Kagura did not have a good impression of Minamoto no Hiromasa, Abe Haruaki hurriedly spoke well of Minamoto no Hiromasa, his future official best friend, and possibly even his brother-in-law.

(The four main characters of Onmyoji are almost a family. Kagura is based on Kamo Sara, Abe Haruaki's wife. Minamoto no Hiromasa is based on Abe Haruaki's best friend and the official match. Yaobikuni is based on the person who took Abe Haruaki's virginity...)

"Although he is a little arrogant, it is understandable. After all, he is from the Genji clan. But once you become friends, you will find that Minamoto no Hiromasa is a very nice person with a cheerful personality, and he has good attainments in music." Zhang Luo also echoed. After all, they are brother and sister. Don't let them become forced friends in the end.

"We went to Kuroyoru Mountain to look for you three nights ago. He went with us into the deepest part of the mountain to help us find you. We were able to find you thanks to Minamoto no Hiroya," Yaobikuni also said. She, Zhang Luo, and Abe Haruaki shared similar thoughts. After all, they were once siblings. Even though he had lost his memory, he couldn't let Kagura's impression of Minamoto no Hiroya really change.

"Yes! Yes! Lord Boya is a good man! Although he always likes to scare Xiaobai." Xiaobai also said, and at the same time complained to Kagura about Minamoto Boya.

"Is that so? Then I must thank him properly tomorrow."

The words of the three people and the fox successfully changed Kagura's first impression of Minamoto no Boya, from a strange person to a very powerful and good person.

"But I always feel like there's something a little strange about you guys." Kagura said suspiciously, sizing up the three people and the fox. Their behavior was indeed quite suspicious.

"Have it?"

The three people and the fox asked at the same time, their faces becoming embarrassed.

"Of course."

Kagura glanced at everyone with suspicion.

Zhang Luo looked up at the roof, as if studying ancient architecture. Yaobikuni squinted her eyes and muttered to herself, as if she was fortune-telling. Xiaobai lay on the ground, twiddling her tail and having fun. Only Abe Haruaki sat next to Kagura, unable to do anything.

"Well, Kagura, you should rest first and don't think about anything else. I'll get you something to eat." Abe Haruaki stood up and walked out. Zhang Luo and Yaobikuni also hurried out, leaving Xiaobai alone in the room to accompany Kagura.

After the three of them left the room, they found Minamoto no Boya standing under the double cherry blossoms, looking up at the falling cherry blossoms.

The demon musician was sitting on the ground next to Yuan Boya, and was talking to him.

Then Yuan Boya nodded, took out a flute from his body and put it to his mouth. The demon musician also put his hands on the strings, as if they were going to play a song together.

Seeing this scene, the three of them stopped and stood there quietly, ready to listen to the beautiful melody.

In fact, during these three days, Abe Haruaki did not do nothing except take care of Kagura. He also inquired about Minamoto no Hiroya's identity and confirmed his true identity. He also knew that Minamoto no Hiroya had indeed lost a girl.

Chapter 186 Ibaraki takes the blame

At this moment, Zhang Luo's body suddenly shook and he felt his body was hollowed out. If he had not been physically strong, he would have almost collapsed.

Ibaraki Douji activated his Noble Phantasm!

Sensing the whereabouts of the magic power that disappeared from his body, Zhang Luo immediately made a judgment in his mind.

"What's wrong?" Although it was only a moment, the eight hundred nuns standing next to Zhang Luo still noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Luo.

"I have something to do outside, so you don't have to wait for me for dinner tonight." Zhang Luo shook his head, said something to Abe Haruaki, and quickly left Abe Haruaki's mansion.

Seeing that Zhang Luo seemed to be in trouble, Abe Haruaki wanted to catch up with him, but Zhang Luo was too fast. As soon as Abe Haruaki reached the door, he could no longer see Zhang Luo.

Zhang Luo walked along the street, heading south according to the contract with Ibaraki Douji, looking for Ibaraki Douji's location.

There are very few enemies that can force Ibaraki Douji to use his Noble Phantasm, especially in the Heian period of Japan, Ibaraki Douji's home turf. Moreover, Shuten Douji and Tamamono-neko have always been with Ibaraki Douji. If the three of them join forces, even without using their Noble Phantasms, there are not many monsters in Heian-kyo that can fight against them.

As Zhang Luo moved forward quickly, he was thinking in his heart, who on earth did Ibaraki Douji and the others encounter? At this time, an enemy who has the ability to force them to use their treasures to defeat them should not come to Heian-kyo so openly.

A moment later, Zhang Luo arrived at the Gojo Ferry and found Ibaraki Douji alone.

Ibaraki Douji stood at the bridgehead, his body ablaze with demonic energy, his eyes blazing with anger as he glared at the man standing across the bridge. Even though Zhang Luo was standing far away, he could still spot the conspicuous knife scar on Ibaraki Douji's shoulder, a deep, bone-deep scar.

The man opposite Ibaraki Douji was covered in burns, one of his arms hanging limply at his side as if it had been twisted off, his clothes tattered, and he was breathing heavily while staring firmly at Ibaraki Douji, his eyes full of disgust and anger. His other, still intact arm was holding a precious sword, which he raised towards Ibaraki Douji.

"What's happening here?"

Seeing Ibaraki Douji's formation, Zhang Luo hurried to the bridgehead.

"Master, why are you here?"

Ibaraki Douji also noticed Zhang Luo's arrival. His expression changed and he asked somewhat unnaturally, but he still did not relax.

"Human? You're an accomplice of that monster!" The man opposite saw Zhang Luo and Ibaraki Douji's exchange, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted at Zhang Luo angrily. He was already prepared to use secret techniques and die together with the other party.

Zhang Luo ignored the man opposite him and asked Ibaraki Douji, "What's going on?"

Ibaraki Douji turned his face away, avoiding Zhang Luo's gaze, and said unconfidently: "It's just a small matter, there's no need for you to interfere."

"If she doesn't tell me, I'll tell her."

The man opposite was not a fool. From Ibaraki Douji's attitude towards Zhang Luo and Zhang Luo's obvious dissatisfaction, he realized that things might not be what he thought. He quickly put down his sword and spoke.

According to the man opposite, all this started half an hour ago.

The man was a samurai serving in Heian-kyo. Half an hour ago, he was returning home from his post. When he and his followers reached a bridge, they saw Ibaraki Douji. At that time, Ibaraki Douji had put away his demon horns and transformed into demon hands, looking exactly like the noble girl in Heian-kyo. The man was not an Onmyoji. Although he had the skill to exorcise demons, he could not see through the change and only thought that Ibaraki Douji was a noble girl in the city.

Seeing Ibaraki Douji wandering here with an embarrassed look on her face, as if she needed help, the man went forward to ask her, and then learned from Ibaraki Douji that she and her family had just moved to the capital and lived in the Gojo residence; they were hesitant to move forward because they were not familiar with the road.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the man was worried that Ibaraki Douji would be in danger here alone, so he offered to send Ibaraki Douji back to the mansion, and Ibaraki Douji agreed.

When the two and their followers passed by this place, Ibaraki Douji suddenly opened his red lips and said softly, "My residence is actually outside the capital."

Although the man was a little confused, he naturally asked, "Excuse me, where do you live, Miss?"

Then the situation suddenly reversed. Ibaraki Douji laughed sinisterly and said loudly: "My mother's home is in Atago Mountain!"

As he spoke, Ibaraki Douji burst out with a powerful demonic aura, and his girlish, white and tender hand suddenly turned into a giant ghost claw. He grabbed the man's head and jumped into the darkness beside him.

This series of events happened at a distance of less than half a meter. Even a powerful monster of the same great size would be severely injured by the sudden attack of Ibaraki Douji. Ordinary monsters would have their heads pulled off before they could even react.

Just like the man's followers, they were caught off guard and killed by the biting demonic power revealed by the huge ghost claws.

However, the man was not an ordinary person. The demonic energy that erupted so close to him stimulated his nerves. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to draw the sword from his waist, and slashed at Ibaraki Douji's arm like lightning. At that time, only a flash of knife light illuminated the night sky, and the sharp sword energy split the air and passed through Ibaraki Douji's arm, just like a knife cutting through white paper. It was as easy as a knife cutting through white paper, and it did not encounter any obstacles, causing Ibaraki Douji's arm to fly out.

Ibaraki Douji, whose arm was cut off, cried out in pain, turned around and flew into the darkness, leaving the man standing there vigilantly with the sword in his hand.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the man had collected the bodies of his followers and was about to leave when Ibaraki Douji appeared here again. This time, Ibaraki Douji had an extra arm than before.

The battle was about to break out, and the man directly used a technique to make his spiritual power violent, thereby enhancing his destructive power and the offensiveness of his spiritual power, and swung his sword to cut towards Ibaraki Douji.

Ibaraki Douji didn't hesitate and punched the man. His right hand, which could detach from his arm, was hard to defend against. If it weren't for the man's full strength and the power contained in the sword, the man would have been reduced to ashes.

This was what the man said. After listening to the man's statement, Zhang Luo cast a suspicious look at Ibaraki Douji.

It is very obvious that the identity of the man opposite can be confirmed. Isn't he Watanabe Tsuna, one of the four kings of Raiko?

Could it be that Ibaraki Douji deliberately sought out Watanabe Tsuna in order to avenge his previous humiliation, but because of the legend and the physique of the heroic spirit, he was restrained too strongly, which led to his failure.

After all, Zhang Luo really couldn't imagine that Ibaraki, the pervert who hung out with Shuten-douji all day long in Onmyoji, didn't go looking for Shuten-douji, but ran here and turned into a woman to cause trouble for Watanabe Tsuna.

"That's not what he said, Master!"

After listening to what the man opposite him said and seeing Zhang Luo's suspicious look, Ibaraki Douji suddenly became angry. He glared at the man fiercely and said loudly.

"Hmph!" The man just sneered. Without looking at Ibaraki Douji, he continued to say to Zhang Luo, "This gentleman should be an Onmyoji. This evil ghost is your Shikigami, otherwise it wouldn't act like this."

Zhang Luo nodded. Although it was not the same, it was almost the same.

"I just hope you can restrain this evil spirit. This is Kyoto after all."

At this time, Watanabe Tsuna's expression relaxed, and then his tone became stern, and he looked very confident.

Zhang Luo frowned in dissatisfaction. Things haven't been clarified yet. How can you, a mere half-disabled warrior, talk to me like that?

"What's going on? Zhang Luo, and Watanabe Tsuna, why are you still outside so late? It doesn't seem like you're on duty today, right? Usui Sadamitsu."

"Well, today is my turn."

A familiar voice came from behind. Zhang Luo turned around and found out the reason for Watanabe Tsuna's sudden change of attitude. He saw Minamoto no Boya and a man walking towards him.

"Boya, why are you here?" Zhang Luo waved and greeted Yuan Boya.

"I was originally planning to go back, but I met Sadamitsu when I passed by. It seemed like something happened here, so I came to take a look. By the way, this is Usui Sadamitsu, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Raikou, along with Watanabe Tsuna who was in front of you. This is Zhang Luo, the Onmyoji from Tang." Minamoto no Boya walked over quickly and introduced both parties.

"Hello, Lord Zhang Luo, I am Usui Sadamitsu, responsible for patrolling Heian-kyo at night." Usui Sadamitsu's attitude was very good because of Minamoto no Hiromasa's performance.

"Watanabe Tsuna, what's going on here?" After greeting Zhang Luo, Usui Sadamichi looked at Watanabe Tsuna across the bridge, looked at the blood and injuries on Watanabe Tsuna's body, and then looked at the demon beside Zhang Luo who was obviously hurt by Higekiri, and had some guesses in his mind.

"…Just some misunderstandings."

Watanabe Tsuna's heart sank when he saw Minamoto Boya's attitude towards Zhang Luo. After hesitating for a moment, Watanabe Tsuna said lightly.

"What a misunderstanding! It's clearly you, the guy, who is deliberately looking for trouble!"

Watanabe Tsuna wanted to make the matter smaller than it actually was, but Ibaraki Douji, who felt he was being falsely accused, disagreed.

Watanabe Tsuna frowned and stared at Ibaraki Douji with disgust. He had already been given a way out, but he was still not satisfied?

"What happened?"

Minamoto no Hiromasa originally thought that Ibaraki Douji had caused some trouble and was bumped into by Watanabe Tsuna, and then a fight broke out, but looking at the current situation, something seems to be wrong.

During this time, Minamoto no Hiromasa often visited Abe no Haruaki's home. Although Ibaraki Douji was often not at home, he was not out all day. Minamoto no Hiromasa naturally got to know Ibaraki Douji. Three days was enough time for the two violent men to get to know each other. Minamoto no Hiromasa also knew that with Ibaraki Douji's personality, if he really caused any trouble, he would not deny it.

Usui Sadamichi didn't understand the situation, so he stood quietly aside and left the matter to Minamoto no Hiromasa to handle.

"It should be, perhaps, probably, a misunderstanding caused by impulse." Zhang Luo said hesitantly. He naturally knew Ibaraki Douji's character. Such a strong statement of attitude meant that it was not her who deceived Watanabe Tsuna and intended to attack Watanabe Tsuna.

However, compared to the eye-catching truth that the pervert Ibaraki transformed into a beautiful woman to lure Watanabe Tsuna to death and then was killed in return, Zhang Luo still hoped that the truth was that Ibaraki Douji wanted to seek revenge but was killed in return.

What Ibaraki Douji said was completely different from what Watanabe Tsuna said.

Half an hour ago, because Tamamo Cat and Nine-Life Cat ran away, Shuten Douji left for something, leaving Ibaraki Douji alone wandering around Heian-kyo.

Because he had not been to Heian-kyo for a long time, Ibaraki Douji found himself lost when passing by a bridge that looked a little familiar.

At this time, Watanabe Tsuna, who had been attacked by the pervert Ibaraki, was just about to leave.

Ibaraki Douji spotted Watanabe Tsuna and walked over excitedly, asking rather arrogantly, "Hey, human over there, where is this place?"

Watanabe Tsunamasa was carrying the body of his follower on his back. When he heard Ibaraki Douji's voice, he turned around and saw that his appearance had not changed much from before, except that the horns symbolizing the demon clan were exposed, and Ibaraki Douji had also changed into an arrogant golden outfit.

Suddenly, Watanabe Tsuna was furious.

Is this a provocation? This is clearly a provocation!

Watanabe Tsuna slowly put down the body of his follower and drew his sword with a sneer.

"Lost again, evil ghost! I won't take you home this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Watanabe Tsuna suddenly jumped up, and the sword light mixed with powerful demon-repelling power slashed towards Ibaraki Douji.

Chapter 187 Daily Soul Brushing

"I see. It seems this is indeed a misunderstanding."

After Ibaraki Douji finished telling the story, Minamoto no Boya immediately made a judgment.

Usui Sadamitsu also breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Not to mention that Minamoto no Hiroya is proficient in the art of barrier. Usui Sadamitsu and Bokube Kimai are not like Watanabe Tsuna and Sakata Kintoki who are only good at martial arts to exorcise demons. They are also very vigilant in witchcraft and Yin-Yang magic. With their eyesight, they can naturally see that the arm tied around Watanabe Tsuna's waist has a similar aura to Ibaraki Douji, but it does not come from Ibaraki Douji. After all, Ibaraki Douji's arm full of fiery demonic energy is not something that can be grown casually, and Ibaraki Douji's arm is connected to his aura, so it is impossible to take it from others.

After telling Watanabe Tsuna this conclusion, Watanabe Tsuna also reacted. He originally felt that something was wrong. He had just cut off Ibaraki Douji's arm. How could Ibaraki Douji regain an arm in such a short time?

At the time, he hadn't given it much thought, simply assuming that Ibaraki Douji and his men were nearby, and while spitting at the brutality of the demons, he fought Ibaraki Douji. Only after hearing the conclusions of Minamoto no Hiromasa and Usui Sadamitsu did he realize that he had been mistaken.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and then everyone came to Watanabe Tsuna's residence. Watanabe Tsuna prepared an apology banquet, and Minamoto no Hiromasa mediated on the side and let the matter go.

Usui Sadamitsu was the first to say goodbye, as he had to be on duty tonight. However, before leaving, he said sternly, "Everyone, it's best not to go out at night these days. Something big is happening."

"Big thing? What big thing?" Zhang Luo had some guesses in his mind. Could it be that the Time Travel Army was discovered?

"According to the divinations of Lord Kamo Tadayuki and Lord Ashiya Doman, the Yin energy in Japan has recently overwhelmed the Yang energy. Not only are the evil monsters rampant, but even the Yamata no Orochi has appeared." Usui Sadamitsu said shocking words.

"Yamata no Orochi!?"

"Are you kidding me?! Wasn't Yamata no Orochi killed by Susanoo a long time ago?!"

Zhang Luo and Yuan Boya were both surprised.

In Minamoto no Boya's knowledge, the Yamata no Orochi had been killed by Susanoo long ago, and the Kusanagi sword, which was taken as a trophy, had become one of the three great artifacts of Japan. Naturally, it was hard to imagine that the Yamata no Orochi was still alive.

Although Zhang Luo knew that the Yamata no Orochi had been sealed in Kyoto, shouldn't the seal be lifted soon?

Ibaraki Douji, however, looked calm, as if he had known about this for a long time.

"Well... it's not really the Yamata-no-Orochi," Usui Sadamichi scratched his hair in embarrassment, frowning. "Recently, the Yamata-no-Orochi has appeared in eight cities, including Himeji Castle, XX Castle, CC Castle, and BB Castle. According to Lord Kamo Tadayuki, it's the residual soul left behind by the Yamata-no-Orochi after its death, symbolizing the incarnation of the eight heads of soul, ghost, evil, demon, devil, slaughter, spirit, and death. However, its strength is not that strong. Lord Minamoto no Raikou single-handedly killed a Yamata-no-Orochi some time ago. However, the residual soul of the Yamata-no-Orochi possesses an immortal body. Whenever it dies, it absorbs the corresponding evil power and resurrects the next night."

"Because every time Yamata no Orochi dies, it leaves behind runes containing powerful strength, so Onmyoji and exorcists often go to those cities to attack Yamata no Orochi. If it weren't for the need to protect Kyoto, I would have gone there by now." Watanabe Tsuna added that he had also seen the runes left behind by Yamata no Orochi after his death. They were in the residence of Lord Kamo Tadayuki. As long as you wear them, you will be blessed. Although wearing them for a long time will affect your mind, as long as you pay attention, you will be fine.

"At the beginning, all the adults were worried that there might be something wrong with Yamata-no-Orochi, so after Yamata-no-Orochi was resurrected for the second time, they only sealed it but did not kill it. However, Yamata-no-Orochi's strength would double every day, and it had to be killed on the same day to avoid future troubles, so all the adults had no choice but to let those Onmyoji and exorcists team up to kill the snake." Usui Sadamitsu went on to say that if it were not for the fact that it was beyond control, the Emperor and Kamo Tadayuki would not have allowed such a weird and ridiculous thing to happen.
