Kenshin Uesugi's visit to the Onmyoji Ryo was a true heresy!
And no matter what Axue said, the first goal of going to Kyoto should be to pay homage to the monk Zhiwu of Enryakuji Temple, or to meet the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
The former represents his Buddhist beliefs, and the latter represents his determination to be a loyal subject.
However, the sudden visit to the Onmyoji Bureau really made these Onmyojis' scalps tingle and their hearts skip a beat.
At this moment, they only remembered a rumor that was widely circulated among the people.
Is it possible...
Is the rumor that Uesugi Kenshin is the son of a monster really true?!
However, compared to the shock of other people in the Onmyoji Bureau, the Onmyoji Head Tsuchimikado Taisho was not surprised at all. On the contrary, the Onmyoji had already anticipated Axue's visit.
"I have long heard of the mighty reputation of Lord Kenshin of Echigo. Now that I have seen you in person, I truly feel that you are an incomparably handsome military god!"
Tsuchimikado Yasushi's words came from the heart without any adulteration.
After all, the evaluation of Kenshin Uesugi is now polarized.
One is his brutality and ruthlessness. The massacre, patricide, suppression and purge caused the complete collapse of rituals and music in Echigo Province, turning it into a state machine of the dark will of this dictator.
One is his kindness and compassion, which resolved the great famine and enabled the people to gain power. From then on, Echigo Province selected officials regardless of their origin or bloodline, and his Buddhist virtue as a black-robed holy monk shone brightly on the land.
Based solely on these contradictory rumors, Tsuchimikado Yasushi was unable to tell whether Uesugi Kenshin was a good person or a bad person.
But now that he had seen Axue's true appearance, the Onmyoji gazed at this silver-haired young man who was as dazzling as a god, and the fog in his heart also dissipated.
There is no need for any judgment, this person is truly a god!!!
"...Lord Tsuchimikado seemed to be gazing at me for quite some time?"
Axue noticed that the color of Tsuchimikado Taisho's soul was changing violently and couldn't help feeling confused.
After all, women did stare at him for a long time, but men would never be like Tsuchimikado Yasushi. Even if he was blind, he could still feel the shock in his heart from his piercing gaze.
"Excuse me, Lord Kenshin."
Tsuchimikado Taisho clasped his hands together and said apologetically.
"I am a Yin-Yang master, so I am naturally well versed in the art of physiognomy. However, your face, Lord Qianxin, truly sends shockwaves through my heart."
"...I've heard that a physiognomist can infer a person's general destiny and personality by looking at their face."
Axue naturally knew about the existence of physiognomy.
Although Buddhism does not tell fortunes, it does have methods of inferring good and evil by observing people's minds.
But unfortunately, he was born blind and could not master this art of physiognomy.
There are mysteries in the Shinto physiognomy, and Axue is very happy to listen to what the Onmyoji Tsuchimikado Yasuaki has to say.
"Then tell me your conclusion after observing the physiognomy."
After a moment of silence, Tsuchimikado Yasuaki spoke clearly:
"Lord Qianxin, your face is as masculine as a crown of jade, strong and tough. Courage, self-confidence, principles, divine majesty... The world is truly right. One glance and I know you are a divine dragon soaring above the nine heavens. You have the face of a celestial dragon!"
After hearing this, Axue just tapped the table with her fingers without saying anything.
Because the Onmyoji's remarks are extremely dangerous.
In China, the Tianlong is the face of the supreme ruler. When they first met, he said that Axue had the face of a real dragon. If others heard it, his plan of "spreading martial arts all over the world" would be over before it even began.
"But... the Heavenly Dragon form requires an extremely strong destiny to withstand..."
Tsuchimikado Yasuaki changed the subject and continued to tell the story.
"Your fate, Lord Qianxin, cannot bear such a high karma. You will surely die young and regret it for the rest of your life..."
Axue's brows twitched slightly.
He called himself a short-lived ghost when we first met. This Tsuchimikado Taisho is really courting his life!
But Axue didn't blame him.
After all, what Tsuchimikado Yasushi said was true. He only needed to observe the face to infer the existence of [destined death], which shows his profound strength as an Onmyoji.
This actually made the Buddhist Martial God secretly happy. After all, he didn't want the Tsuchimikado clan to be useless people who were strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
If even Abe Haruaki's descendants were good-for-nothings, he could give up his plan to resurrect Nagao Kagetora.
"And what's even more terrifying is..."
Seeing that the Dragon of Echigo was not angry, Tsuchimikado Yasuaki continued to add.
"Although you have the appearance of a celestial dragon, you have a pair of charming and unpretentious peach blossom eyes. This means that you are destined to suffer from peach blossom disasters in this life. Lord Qianxin, you are a woman with a difficult body."
There is no need to use physiognomy to make this point. One can make a judgment based solely on Ah Xue's exceptionally enchanting appearance.
However, this may be the simplest form of physiognomy, and anyone can observe it directly.
But Tsuchimikado Yasuaki's next words made Xue's face suddenly become heavy.
"However, judging a horse by its hooves and a person by their four features, observing the skin is only the most basic form of physiognomy. The key lies in the bones, flesh, and qi..."
The Yin-Yang master then spoke cautiously.
"Although you, Lord Qianshin, are blind, I can glimpse a ray of eternal, inextinguishable black flame in your eyes. To be honest..."
Tsuchimikado Yasuaki swallowed nervously, his voice filled with uncontrollable fear.
“——This is the appearance of the Demon King!!!”
The appearance of a celestial dragon plus the appearance of a demon king...
That meant that the Axue before him, the Buddhist martial god Uesugi Kenshin, was the Chaos Demon who would bring destruction and change to the world!!!
Why is Tsuchimikado Taisho so afraid? It’s because the devil is a walking disaster!
Throughout history, there have been only a handful of people recorded in history who possessed this kind of demonic appearance.
The devil is a person who is the only one in heaven and on earth who is unprecedented in history.
According to legend, the demon king of Dajiang Mountain, Drunken Boy, was born with two completely different faces.
It has a face that is that of a handsome child, and its childlike form can confuse humans with just one glance. It feeds on the flesh and blood of women and children, and particularly likes to cut off women's breasts and eat them.
One of his faces is that of an ugly evil ghost, and in his ghost king form he has five big horns and fifteen eyes. His strength is at the top of all the monsters, and he is the demon king who commands Mount Dajiang and launches the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
Another person who also possesses the appearance of a demon is the mysterious killer Minamoto no Raikou, who was a contemporary of Shuten-doji.
Minamoto no Raikou has two souls in one body, but possesses two completely different personalities.
The one with the devilish face is Uguru, the incarnation of Bull-Headed Heavenly King. She was a demon child born on the Ugly year, Ugly day and Ugly hour after being gestated in her mother's womb for three years and three months. She was abandoned by her parents at birth, grew up in a temple and established her own devil kingdom.
The one who possesses the divine face is Minamoto no Raikou, the incarnation of Gyuto Ten-no. She is a god who inherited the noble bloodline of the Minamoto clan. She uses divine power to kill all the monsters in the world. She is known as the strongest mysterious killer in the Heian period. Even Abe Haruaki had to succumb to her sword.
These two demons are both famous figures in history.
After the decisive battle between Shuten-doji and Minamoto no Raikou, the mystery of the Japanese era was completely broken.
From then on, the sightings of monsters disappeared, the inheritance of Yin-Yang magic became increasingly difficult, and the mystery of this Far Eastern archipelago began to rapidly decline.
One can only imagine how complicated Tsuchimikado Yasushi's feelings must have been when he saw Ayuki, who possessed the form of a demon, hundreds of years after the Heian period, in this chaotic Warring States era where rituals and music had collapsed...
It was no surprise to this Onmyoji that Uesugi Kenshin came to Kyoto to look for him.
As the legitimate head of the Tsuchimikado clan, Tsuchimikado Yasuaki is one of the few people in this chaotic Warring States period who fully understands the mysteries.
And possessing a mysterious Onmyoji will naturally attract even greater mysterious attraction.
"——I came here this time for only one thing."
Axue ignored the alarmist words of Tsuchimikado Taisho. He just stroked the cracks under the corner of the table, feeling the roughness of the wood chips, and spoke calmly.
"I want to resurrect my senior brother, the former Buddhist martial god Nagao Kagetora."
"............."
"Do you have any idea?"
When Tsuchimikado Yasuaki heard such absurd words, he stood up and began to pace around the room.
The Yin-Yang master frowned and quickly calculated with his fingers. Then, with a look of helplessness on his face, he said, "Lord Kenshin, Nagao Kagetora has been dead for more than three years. Perhaps she has already been reincarnated. If you want me to find the reincarnation of your senior brother, I do have some ways to do it, but to resurrect the dead—"
"What's the point of finding reincarnation?"
Axue just asked back.
"Could it be... that you want me to ruin my brother's karma for his next life without permission?"
"But, but...if Nagao Kagetora has already been reincarnated, how can you resurrect this dead person from the underworld?!"
Tsuchimikado Yasushi was getting a little anxious.
Because if such a thing really happened, it would mean that there were two Nagao Kagetora in this world.
The reborn Nagao Kagetora and the reincarnated Nagao Kagetora, these two cannot coexist!
If the soul has not been reincarnated, then Tsuchimikado Yasushi does have a way to recover Nagao Kagetora's three souls and six spirits. If the body is kept intact, then this Onmyoji can grit his teeth and use the resurrection technique to extend the life of this Buddhist martial god for a few days.
However, Nagao Kagetora has been dead for more than three years, and her soul and spirit have long since escaped into reincarnation. What means does Tsuchimikado Yasushi have to perform the resurrection technique?
Rather...
Why did this Onmyoji go to such great lengths to help Uesugi Kenshin?
"If you help me accomplish this, I can fulfill one of your wishes."
Axue just knocked on the table and said in such a serious tone.
"Whenever I am able, Tsuchimikado Taisho, I can fulfill any of your wishes."
When Tsuchimikado Yasushi heard this, his eyes widened.
Kenshin Uesugi, the Dragon of Echigo, is now arguably the most powerful daimyo in the chaotic Warring States period.
For such a hero, everything he promised would naturally be true.
Although this Yin-Yang master understood endless mysteries, he was ultimately just an official under the Muromachi shogunate in Kyoto.
The Onmyoji had long since declined, Shintoism had been completely crushed by Buddhism, and even the bloodline passed down in the Tsuchimikado clan had gradually become mediocre. In recent years, the Onmyoji arts passed down by Abe Haruaki had gradually been lost, and there would never again be an Onmyoji who understood these magical powers like him.
If Tsuchimikado Yasuaki had an unforgettable wish in his heart at this moment, it would be—
Restore the glory of Onmyoji!!!
If one wants to recast the supreme glory of this profession that has already withdrawn from the stage of history, one must start from the generation of Tsuchimikado Yasuaki and perform unprecedented miracles!
That is to allow this mysterious island nation, which has disappeared since the Heian period, to return to the magic it should have possessed during the Age of Gods!
At this moment, a crazy idea was born in the mind of this Yin Yang Master——
If Tsuchimikado Yasushi could use the resurrection of Nagao Kagetora as an introduction and the prelude to this great miracle, then his wish would indeed be possible to come true!
"In that case, I do have a method that may help Lord Qianxin revive Brother!"
When Axue heard this, her face suddenly changed and she quickly asked.
"What do you need me to do?!"
"First, a lot of magic power is needed."
Tsuchimikado Yasuaki was silent for a moment, then spoke boldly.
"That is - a blood sacrifice."
