I Am a Heroic Spirit

In fact, this is indeed the case. When Zhang Luo transformed into Young Gil and used the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star a few days ago, he saw some unclear things. In the previous reincarnation, in the normal timeline, Yaobikuni seemed to have met Hei Qingming during this period of time, and was pulled to the other side by Hei Qingming with eternal death. However, he did not see much of the development in this timeline. No, it is better to say that he did not see much, rather than not seeing much. After all, the function of the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star regarding future vision is only to see the development of parallel worlds.

This sentence seems to be a question, but in fact it is Zhang Luo's test of the eight hundred nuns.

The eight hundred bhikkhunis hesitated for a moment before saying, "Divination is useless. No matter how hard you try, you can only see darkness. Nothing else."

Yaobikuni was not lying. She had indeed divined the whereabouts of Hei Qingming, but to no avail. Zhang Luo did not doubt Yaobikuni's words, because the power of the Yamata no Orochi was not something Yaobikuni could predict.

However, lying is lying, concealing is concealing, and concealing some things is even more serious than lying.

"Really? No clue at all?" Zhang Luo asked with a hint of meaning, staring into the eyes of the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni, making the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni subconsciously want to dodge.

"..." The eight hundred bhikkhunis hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Maybe we can gain some results in a couple of days."

Consider time? Hearing Yaobikuni's words, Zhang Luo understood that Hei Qingming had probably already met Yaobikuni and tried to recruit her, but Yaobikuni didn't seem to have made a decision yet. The two days she said was probably the bottom line of the time she gave herself to consider.

In fact, this is exactly the case. Last night, Yaobikuni was visited by Kuroo Haruaki. A powerful fortune teller, no matter which force she is from, will invite her. Kuroo Haruaki, who has the support of the Yamata no Orochi, is no exception. Yaobikuni's weakness is also obvious. She once ate mermaid meat and could not die. As long as she can be made to die truly, she can be made to serve temporarily.

After Kuro Seimei proposed the conditions, Yaobikuni was naturally tempted, but considering Abe Seimei and Kagura, she did not make a decision immediately. Who would have thought that she would be asked about Kuro Seimei today.

Seeing the eight hundred nuns like this, Zhang Luo didn't say anything more. After all, they were all friends, and they should have some tacit understanding. They also had to give her opportunities. He couldn't just beat her to death because of a momentary impulse.

The battle was over because it was not a life-and-death battle. It ended after one side suffered a serious blow.

Abe Haruaki's strength is indeed not weak, but he has lost his memory, which is the most serious problem. He has forgotten all the Yin-Yang arts he has learned. The only things left are the common Yin-Yang arts and the Thunder Emperor's summons that cannot be obtained through learning.

So Abe Haruaki was defeated, and lost miserably. All his shikigami were scattered, his hat was knocked to the ground, his silver hair was a mess like a chicken coop, and his body was covered with more than a dozen scars. However, Shuten-douji only had three or two minor scars on his body. For Shuten-douji, these scars had no effect at all, and he didn't even need to drink the demon wine...

"Now that we've beaten you, you should tell me what's going on. Who is Hongye? Does she know me when I was still with her memory?" Abe Haruaki asked earnestly. He had been searching for his past memories. Although he was beaten now, he also knew who he once knew. His sacrifice was worth it.

"Hongye is the person Shuten-douji likes, but she actually likes you. In fact, you should be Shuten-douji's rival in love." Seeing that the battle was over, Zhang Luo stepped forward and explained to Abe Haruaki.

"what?"

"Someone who likes Qingming?"

"Master Qingming is indeed a girl killer!"

In an instant, Yaobikuni, Kagura, and Xiaobai's expressions changed, but unlike Xiaobai's heartless sigh, Yaobikuni and Kagura's expressions were not very good. After all, one of them was the original wife in history, and the other was Abe Haruaki's first love.

"Let me tell you, this is what happened..." Berserker Ibaraki jumped out with his hands on his hips, and excitedly told the story of the grudges between Shuten-doji, Abe-seimei, Kuro-seimei and Momiji.

"That's enough! Abe Haruaki, now that you know everything, are you prepared to die?"

Shuten-doji had a gloomy face until Berserker Ibaraki finished telling the story. Yaobikuni, Kagura, Haku, and Abe no Haruaki looked at him with strange eyes, and then he was about to explode.

"No matter who Abe Haruaki is who is bewitching Momiji, if you can't find that Black Haruaki..."

"Don't worry, I will find out the truth. If I really did these things, I will sacrifice my life at that time."

Before Shuten-doji could finish his threatening words, Abe Haruaki interrupted him, raised his hand solemnly and swore an oath.

"Even if I didn't do it, if you can't catch that black me, then I will give you my life. I, Abe Haruaki, swear by the principles of yin and yang and the five elements."

"..."

Abe Haruaki's solemn oath left everyone speechless for a moment. The oath made with one's real name was no joke, not to mention that the content of the oath was so harsh on Abe Haruaki.

"...Interesting, Abe Haruaki, you really live up to your reputation. Remember your oath well, I will always keep an eye on you." Shuten-doji narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and revealed a faint smile.

"I've got that, Shuten-doji." Abe Haruaki responded seriously.

It was late at night, the moon was bright in the sky, the stars were twinkling, and the evening breeze blew on people's cheeks, bringing a cool feeling. 2.2 The silvery moonlight sprinkled on the ground on the river bank and on the four people.

The sound of "splashing" water was heard, and the river surface was covered with waves. The Lord of Arakawa came to the shore from the river. At this time, Arakawa

Chapter 206 Crazy Female Ghost

"We actually ran into them. What's going on?" Kuro Seimei frowned, a bad feeling welling up in his heart. The two teams of Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji had met, and one of them was staying at Abe Seimei's house. With such a variable, his plan might have some problems.

"The Onmyoji who came from the Tang Kingdom received a commission from Tadashi." Lord Arakawa simply recounted what had happened.

Kuroseime's face darkened as Lord Arakawa spoke. Ibaraki-douji was fine, but Shuten-douji was not someone who could be fooled. This time, Shuten-douji might find out something was wrong. It seemed that the plan needed to be advanced.

The longer we delay, the more likely we are to make mistakes. Currently, the offerings in Happo Castle are sufficient, the sacred artifact has been defiled, and Kusanagi's power has been stripped away. All that remains is to sacrifice the reincarnation of the Great Snake Miko, and the seal of Kyoto will be lifted. Then, this sinful Kyoto will be shrouded in the underworld, and hypocritical and disgusting humanity will become the dregs of history under the power of the monsters.

Hei Qingming looked up at the moon, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

-

On the other hand, after making a vow, Abe Haruaki decided that it was better to do it now than to wait for another day, so he went to the maple forest to look for Momiji to see if there were any clues. Because Shuten-doji, who had not gone to see Momiji, knew that Abe Haruaki had lost his memory, he naturally would not refuse Abe Haruaki's proposal, so everyone prepared to set off immediately.

"Wait, I'm afraid I can't go with you." Before leaving, the Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis suddenly said.

"What's wrong? Yaobikuni?" Abe Haruaki stopped and asked in confusion.

"It's enough for us to go. It won't make any difference whether I'm there or not. I want to go back to the courtyard to prepare for divination. If I'm lucky, maybe I can divine the whereabouts of Hei Qingming in the next two days." Yaobikuni said with a smile.

"A fortune teller?" Shuten-doji glanced at Yaobikuni twice, then spoke on behalf of Abe no Haruaki, "Then you can go back. I hope your fortune telling won't disappoint me."

"Please rest assured, I am still very confident in divination, it just takes some time to prepare." Yaobikuni nodded slightly and said to Shuten-doji.

Upon hearing this, Shuten-doji raised his head proudly, turned around and walked out of the city first. Abe Haruaki and Kagura greeted Yaobikuni and followed him.

Zhang Luo looked deeply at the Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis before turning away. He thought to himself, "I hope you can make the right choice, Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis."

In the dark night, Yaobikuni stood under the cold Rashomon Gate, watching the backs of Abe Haruaki, Zhang Luo and others leaving. She couldn't help but sigh, with an inexplicable expression on her face, which looked a bit desolate under the moonlight.

The group followed Shuten-doji's footsteps and walked outside Rashomon. They were not ordinary people, and it didn't take long before they arrived outside a maple forest.

"Such a strong smell of blood." Everyone slowed down their pace outside the maple forest. Berserker Izuki sniffed, his face changed, and he sighed. This was not the kind of blood that could be released by three or five people. At least a dozen people had died in this maple forest, and it happened recently.

Shuten-doji's expression changed. He knew very well that the strong smell of blood was left by Hongye when she had eaten people. He had not been here for a long time. The last time he came, the smell of blood was not so strong. Now it seemed that Hongye had completely become an evil spirit and there was no way back.

"The smell of blood? It really doesn't match the maple forest." Abe Haruaki said in surprise as he looked at the beautiful scenery of the maple forest.

"No, it should be said that it is very consistent. Have you heard of a saying that the more corpses there are under the cherry trees, the more blood as nutrients is absorbed by the cherry trees, and the more gorgeous the cherry blossoms will bloom. This saying can also be applied to the maple forest in front of us." Zhang Luo said. Compared with the cherry forest, that saying is more appropriate for the maple forest. At least not many people died in the cherry forest, but many humans died at the hands of red leaves.

"What a terrible statement." Kagura shrank her shoulders and looked at the enchanting maple leaves with some fear. She had taken Zhang Luo's words seriously, because she also knew that the man-eating evil ghost lived here.

"Although it's scary, it's also true. Plants that are nourished by blood will eventually turn into man-eating evil ghosts." Ibaraki Douji crossed his arms and stared at the maple forest in front of him with hostility, because he knew that the female ghost who bewitched his best friend was in there.

"Please! Stop talking!" Zhang Luo's words frightened Xiaobai so much that he clung to Abe Haruaki's feet, trembling with fear, his hair all standing on end. "I don't know what's going on, but Xiaobai has a very bad feeling."

"Tsk, you're really worried, you monsters are very rare. After all, no other monster is as timid as you." Shuten-doji didn't want to think about those annoying things anymore. He pointed his finger at Xiaobai and said with disdain.

Looking at Xiaobai's appearance, no one would associate him with the great monster Bai Zangzhu.

"No, no, Xiaobai is not afraid at all!" Xiaobai jumped out stimulated by Shuten-doji, and walked in front with his head held high, but the way he looked back every step was really not convincing.

"Ah."

Abe Haruaki chuckled and quickly followed. He was not really willing to let Xiaobai lead the way.

Everyone entered the maple forest. Perhaps because it was already night, the forest was very quiet. There was not even the sound of birds singing, no sound of wind, and nothing could be heard except the sound of everyone's footsteps. The eerie silence made everyone silent.

"Ah!" Xiaobai seemed to be tripped by something. He screamed and slowly got up. When he looked down, he saw what tripped him. He was so scared that he retreated hurriedly to Abe Haruaki's feet.

"What's wrong? Xiaobai?" Kagura asked curiously.

Xiaobai said calmly, "There are bones here. This is really suspicious."

"It would be great if this could be a clue." Abe Haruaki said as he walked to the place where Xiaobai had just tripped and saw the piece of bones exposed from the ground.

"Sure enough, there are a lot of corpses under this maple forest, providing it with ample nutrients." Zhang Luo took a quick look and found that the bones exposed from the ground came from the bodies of at least ten people.

"That woman did it, didn't she? Once ghosts or monsters start eating humans, they will degenerate into evil spirits. At that time, they will become addicted to human flesh and blood, and they will think about eating human flesh and blood all the time."

Ibaraki Douji said with disgust that although he was a demon, he had never eaten a human. Even though human flesh and blood could help increase his strength, that kind of power that affected his mind was not what a youkai like them who aspired to become a great youkai wanted. Generally speaking, few great youkai would choose to increase their strength by eating humans.

"Let me use my clairvoyance to take a look around here." Abe Haruaki's face grew heavy, and he felt something was wrong.

The spiritual vision was activated, and the spiritual vision, which was completely different from the function of Ma Cang Ye Wang, revealed the ghosts hidden here, at the intersection of the underworld and the world of the living.

A ghost haunted by resentment appeared before everyone. She looked extremely painful and kept making meaningless roars. She seemed to have lost her mind.

"Kagura, can we talk to it?" Abe Haruaki asked.

Kagura walked forward and stood in front of the ghost, muttering to herself, as if saying something, but Zhang Luo couldn't understand and couldn't hear what Kagura was saying at all. He winked at Assassin Shuten and Berserker Ibaraki, but found that they didn't know either. It seems that this should be Kagura's unique ability.

In less than half a minute, Kagura stopped communicating with the ghost and looked at Abe Haruaki in embarrassment: "She seems unable to hear my voice, but it seems to have a strong hatred for someone - she said it was that woman."

"That woman?... Are you referring to Momiji?" Abe Haruaki asked hurriedly.

"I don't know. It seems like it was eaten by someone, so it has been hating the person who ate it with grief and anger." Kagura shook her head.

Abe Haruaki's face became even uglier. He couldn't imagine that because of him, a ghost turned into an evil ghost and innocent humans were eaten.

"Be careful!" At this moment, the ghost suddenly attacked Kagura. Kagura quickly dodged its attack and shouted, "She is hostile to us."

"Danger! Everyone, be prepared..."

"What are you preparing for? It's just a little kid!"

Before Abe Haruaki could finish his words, Ibaraki Douji punched out, breaking up the ghost's spirit. The ghost, unable to maintain its human form, returned to the place where the underworld and the world of the living intersected.

Abe Haruaki was stunned for a moment, then said, "If only this soul could rest in peace."

Zhang Luo glanced at Shuten-doji and said, "If we want this soul to rest in peace, we have to defeat the monster that ate it."

Abe Haruaki also noticed Zhang Luo's little movement and his eyes swept over Shuten-doji.

However, Shuten-doji had a sullen face and said nothing. He had been like this since he entered the maple forest.

Abe Haruaki looked away, gazing at the falling maple leaves in front of him, and whispered, "There seems to be someone's obsession within the maple leaves. Is it calling me...?"

"In that case..."

Abe Haruaki made up his mind and made some hand gestures. Runes formed into a spell to make the demons appear as Abe Haruaki moved.

A woman in a blue dress with red maple leaves embroidered on it gradually appeared in Abe Haruaki's magic.

"It seems she has appeared." Ibaraki Douji's eyes were fixed on the woman who appeared, and the same was true for Shuten Douji next to him, but one of them was filled with angry murderous intent, while the other was filled with longing love. Completely opposite emotions flowed in their eyes.

"You must be Hongye, right?" Abe Haruaki asked Hongye.

"Seimei...ah...Seimei..." Hongye called Abe Seimei's name affectionately, as if facing her lover who would last until death, and she wanted to throw herself on Abe Seimei.

"Hey! Hey!" Abe Haruaki waved his hand in panic to block the incoming red leaves and took two steps back.

"Harumi! I've been waiting here for you to come see me." Hongye, who was rejected, did not show any dissatisfaction. She looked at Abe Harumi with the same eager eyes and said like a spoiled child, "Have I become more beautiful? Am I worthy of you? I have always kept our promise and have been waiting here for you!"

As she was speaking, Hongye rushed towards Abe Haruaki again: "Quick, quick, praise me, praise me. Compliment me on my beauty, hug me quickly!"

Abe Haruaki pushed Momiji away again: "Wait, I don't know you...at least I don't remember that we knew each other."

"This... have you actually forgotten me?" Hongye was shocked and heartbroken. She asked anxiously, "Do you still remember saving me that time? Have you forgotten everything too?"

"...Saved you?" Kagura asked curiously. At least in these two months, she had never seen Qingming come into contact with such a female monster, let alone save her.

"Since then, I have always admired you..." In Hongye's eyes, there was no one else except Qingming, such as Shuten Douji who had been standing aside, not to mention that she had never

Chapter 207 Showdown

"Calm down, Qingming, Qingming is very gentle and would never do that kind of thing. It must have been the black Qingming who did it." Seeing that Abe Qingming looked strange, Kagura hurriedly grabbed Abe Qingming and comforted him.

"I know. Even if that's the case, isn't this irreversible thing caused by me?" Abe Haruaki shook his head and said bitterly.

"Who are you? Don't talk to my Qingming!"

Momiji had ignored Kagura when she was questioned by him before. This time, when she saw Kagura approaching Abe Haruaki, she finally took Kagura seriously.

"You clearly don't know anything! Haruaki... praise me, I've become beautiful! And give me lots and lots of love!" Momiji glared at Kagura jealously, and pounced on Abe Haruaki again.

"Well...I..."

Abe Haruaki, who was very disgusted with Hongye, pushed her away with force. Hongye, who was completely unprepared for Abe Haruaki, was pushed back repeatedly by Abe Haruaki and almost fell to the ground.

"Why did you push me away, Qingming... I get it. You think I'm too weak. Let me prove to you that I have really become stronger." Hongye said sadly, but immediately misinterpreted Abe Haruaki's meaning with her own thinking.

Abe Haruaki's heart sank, and he quickly asked Hongye, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Originally I didn't want you to see me like this, but you will definitely accept me. Because you said you would love everything about me, right? Hehehe..."

Momiji was completely immersed in her own world. She no longer paid attention to Abe Haruaki's voice and just kept talking to herself.

"Huh?" Xiaobai sensed the impending danger out of animal instinct and subconsciously retreated behind Abe Haruaki.

I saw the fluttering maple leaves rushing towards the red leaves, carrying the power close to that of a big monster, and wrapped up the red leaves. After the magic power carried by the maple leaves was integrated into the red leaves' body, the red leaves had changed into a red bride's dress.

"It seems she gained power from what she ate." Ibaraki Douji's hands ignited with black flames from hell and he spoke, "There's no need to communicate with this thing anymore. Let's just destroy her."

Abe Haruaki was hesitant. Regardless of the fact that it was because of him that Momiji became a demon, Shuten-douji, who loved Momiji, was right next to him. If he really wanted to destroy Momiji, Shuten-douji might not sit idly by.

"Harumi. If I eat them, remember to give me a hug as a reward!" Hongye ignored Ibaraki Douji's suggestion and Abe Harumi's hesitation. Her eyes fell on Kagura who was holding Abe Harumi, and she showed a ferocious smile, "Hehe, that girl looks so delicious! I'm going to tear her in half and eat her for you to see!"
