Instead, she wanted to go there with great fanfare, so that everyone knew her destination.
——This is because the Kyoto area has always been the base camp of Onmyoji.
If a shrine maiden like her, who holds a special status, enters Kyoto without even saying hello, it is very likely to cause unnecessary suspicion.
Therefore, in comparison, it would be better to openly announce to the world and enter Kyoto City as a guest.
"So, this is actually another form of going to Luoyang, right?"
Looking at Kikyo who was making a communication shikigami and trying to get in touch with the Onmyoji family in Kyoto, Nanxing teased with a smile.
He remembered that some time ago, Kikyo had tried to stop him from going to Kyoto and warned him not to disrupt the balance of order.
Unexpectedly, less than a week later, Kikyo had to go to Kyoto in person to handle important matters.
After hearing Nanxing's teasing, Kikyo glanced at him.
“That’s different.”
she explained.
Of course it's different.
Nanxing’s idea is to use his personal strength to forcibly interrupt the course of history.
Her approach, on the other hand, is to focus more on guidance and error correction to avoid the worst-case scenario (humans and monsters colluding with each other).
"But judging by the results, it doesn't really make much of a difference."
"Anyway, in the end, we have to use our strength to quell the disaster and break the conspiracy of those monsters."
"Why don't we take the initiative and kill those monsters in advance to nip the danger in the bud."
"That way, there will definitely be no disaster."
"Is not it?"
Nan Xing asked back.
Kikyo frowned.
She wanted to refute this statement - but after careful consideration, she found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
If it was true as Nanxing said, and the monsters in Kyoto were eliminated in advance, this kind of food theft would not have happened.
“But it’s different after all.”
Kikyo thought silently in her heart.
But he didn't waste any more words with Nanxing.
Belief may sound mysterious, but it is actually very simple.
It's nothing more than sticking to what you believe in and doing what you think is right.
……
Kyoto.
This was once a prosperous city.
At its peak, the population exceeded 200,000.
It is a well-deserved capital.
However, after years of fighting, the current Kyoto city has lost its former prosperity.
Only the emperor, who was imprisoned in the deep palace like a mascot, still maintained the last bit of dignity in Kyoto.
"々｀ Report... Master, Lu Gu was burned to ashes."
"Report... Master, Miyoshi Nagayoshi has captured Iwakura and is marching towards Kyoto."
"Report... Master, Miyoshi Nagayoshi defeated our reinforcements, and Matsunaga Hisahide defected to the enemy."
"..."
All kinds of unfavorable news, like mushrooms after rain, reached the hands of Omi Province's guardian daimyo Rokkaku Sadayasu.
He was angry, unwilling and helpless.
Yet... I can't do anything.
Miyoshi Nagayoshi's (good, good) strength is no longer something he can match now.
But he was unwilling to fail.
"Is this the only way..."
He hesitated, but finally made up his mind to use this trump card that would doom him from everlasting despair.
However, just when he was about to send someone to contact the Kyoto group of monsters and play his "trump card".
"Shua——Gong"
In the deep night sky, a purple light like a meteor flew from the northeast and illuminated the entire sky.
Looking at the purple light, Liujiao Dinglai's expression changed slightly.
In fact, it's not just him.
Hanakaiin, Tsuchimikado, Shokokuji Temple, Kyotogumi...
All the people (monsters) who saw this purple light and understood it had their faces changed, to expressions of joy, surprise, sadness or anger.
However, no matter how they react, it cannot change the fact that:
"The leader of the modern witches."
"We are going to Luo."
Chapter 85: Kyoto News
"The witch is coming to Luoyang."
This is no small thing.
Because it was just as Kikyo had worried before.
Normally, the priestess would not go to Kyoto.
Only when a major change occurs, or when the shrine maiden believes that there are monsters lurking in Kyoto that the Onmyojis cannot solve, will they announce it to the world and "go to Kyoto".
At the same time, the behavior of the witch going to Kyoto is essentially more like a form of accountability.
"How can you Onmyoji be so useless that you can't even take care of my family? And you want me to personally come out to solve the problem?"
"Can you still do it? If not, then don't do it!"
That’s roughly what it means.
So, it’s not just monsters.
Even the Onmyoji felt a pang in his heart when he received the news that Kikyo was preparing to go to Kyoto.
Not knowing what had happened, they quickly sent out their most elite demon-hunting forces to conduct a large-scale search in Kyoto City.
——They don’t want to give a witch any handle and become a joke.
But unfortunately, they have already become a joke.
Kyoto is the Kyoto of the Kyoto group, not the Kyoto of Onmyoji.
The reason why the Onmyoji were able to command both the black and white worlds was because their leader was Abe Haruaki.
Now, Abe Haruaki's soul has gone to hell, and the Tsuchimikado lineage is no longer as powerful as it used to be; Hanakaiin is good at protecting itself but not at making progress.
In this case, even if they check 340, what can they find out?
"General, that miko... is going to Luoyang."
Kyoto, in the castle.
The room covered with curtains was brightly lit.
The great Tengu, kneeling at the door, looked into the room.
I couldn't see her face, I could only see the beautiful figure of an enchanting woman through the curtain.
And the nine fox tails that symbolize terror.
Nine is the ultimate number.
The nine-tailed demon fox is the supreme one among the fox clan, possessing the power of a top demon monster.
But for Yuyuko now, power, status and the like...are no longer what she pursues.
From the beginning to the end, there was only one thing she was looking for:
"child."
"my child……"
She murmured, as if she didn't hear any sound from the outside world at all.
In response to this, there was no expression of surprise on Daitengu's face.
Obviously, Yuyuko's situation has been going on for a long time.
As the saying goes, one pregnancy makes one stupid for three years.
And Yuyuko has been pregnant for more than 600 years...Now, she has long lost the ability to manage the Kyoto Group.
Now, the overall affairs of the Kyoto Group are all handed over to him and Ao Dizang.
He was in charge of military affairs, and Ao Dizang was in charge of planning.
And now, the reason why he appeared here was just to inform Yuyuko according to the practice of Kyoto Group.
"Well, General."
"Our plan needs to start early."
……
Five days later.
As the sun gradually rose, Nanxing finally saw the shadow of Kyoto City.
Looking at the city in front of him, which seemed to be more prosperous than Edo Castle, he stopped and felt a little excited.
how to say.
It was not until now that he could finally understand a little bit the excitement in the hearts of those predecessors who traveled through time to the powerful Han and prosperous Tang dynasties.
——Before this, he always thought that he was actually playing a game similar to wilderness survival or building a city in a primitive civilization.
There is no way. The city on this island is too small, so small that it can’t even be called a “township”.
There are many city walls that are less than two meters high, and they may not even be able to protect against wild boars.
This is probably why Nanxing is so keen on using Wood Release to build a home.
But, not bad.
The city of Kyoto, which was built in the 5th century AD, did not disappoint Nanxing.
"It was built in the style of Chang'an and Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty."
"The city was divided into Youjing (Chang'an) and Zuojing (Luoyang) by the central Suzaku Avenue, and willows, locust trees and other trees were planted along the road."
“Solemn and majestic.”
Although its size is only one-fifth of the real Chang'an, walking in such a city will undoubtedly allow you to get a glimpse of the ancient city life and cultural landscape.
Of course, Fujiwara no Mokou could not understand these things.
She only knew one thing:
"Meatballs, delicious."
I just took a quick stroll in the bustling market.
There was a handful of meatballs in Fujiwara no Mokou's hand.
She ate with relish, enjoying this rare delicacy while lamenting the decadent and corrupt lifestyle of the people in Kyoto.
At the same time, Kikyo frowned slightly.
