"Demon Slayer Swordsman who has come from afar, welcome to join us!"
Tsuchimikado Heishaku's figure flashed by quickly, and he stood on the top of the telephone pole. In the moonlight, he smiled at Araki Renku and said, "Sakura City has been ravaged for a long time. Your arrival will definitely help me clean up the entire Sakura City!"
Araki Renku's voice was relatively calm. He said to Tsuchimikado Kurosaku calmly, "I am Araki Renku of the Araki family. What is your name, sir?"
Tsuchimikado Heisaku's words were full of pride. Although he welcomed Araki Renku, his every move seemed to show that he did not really take Araki Renku seriously, which made Araki Renku feel very uncomfortable.
A faint smile flashed across Tsuchimikado Heishaku's lips, and he said proudly: "The successor of Tsuchimikado, Tsuchimikado Heishaku."
"So he's the successor of Tsuchimikado Shinto, a descendant of Abe no Haruaki."
When Araki Renku saw Tsuchimikado Heisaku introduce himself, he finally understood why this man was so proud.
As the successor of Tsuchimikado Shinto and descendant of Abe Haruaki, such a prominent identity makes him a well-known figure in the Onmyoji tradition. If nothing unexpected happens, he will surely become the leader of the righteous path and a powerful man of his generation.
Although Tsuchimikado Heishaku in front of him was very arrogant, Araki Renku didn't think anything of it and immediately nodded and said, "Sir Tsuchimikado, I have something I want to ask you."
"I am not from this era. I come from the reign of Tokugawa Iemitsu in Edo. For some reason, I have been asleep and now I am awake."
Araki Renku spoke word by word, "I want to know what's going on in Japan right now. Why are there so many weak ghosts and monsters, and why are they so unscrupulous?"
"Where are the other demon-slaying swordsmen? Where are the other Onmyojis? I've visited many former Onmyoji clan settlements, but the clansmen there either don't know any Onmyoji techniques at all, or the settlements are so dilapidated that no one lives there."
Having found an Onmyoji, who was from Tsuchimikado Shinto, Araki Renku naturally had to ask all his questions.
Upon hearing this, Tsuchimikado Heishaku narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed deeply, and began to speak: "So Mr. Araki is not from this era either."
"Um?"
Araki Renkong heard this and his ears moved slightly: "Could it be that you also..."
"Yes, I am also from the Edo period, but the era I lived in was ruled by the fifth shogun of the Edo period, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi."
After sighing, Tsuchimikado Heishaku continued, "Not long ago, I don't know why, but I suddenly woke up in this era. I remember that I was already dead, but now... I am standing here alive and well."
"You also..."
Araki Renku's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about Tsuchimikado Kurosaku's words, but he didn't sense any signs of lying, so he could only sigh and say, "In other words, you don't know why you've become like this now?"
Tsuchimikado Heishaku also spoke with sympathy: "Yes, I have been suppressing ghosts all along, but my personal power is limited. The number of these ghosts is too large. I really can't kill them all in a short time."
"But now that I've met Mr. Araki, I believe that with the combined strength of the two of us, we can definitely wipe out Sakura City within seven days."
Tsuchimikado Heishaku smiled and said, "By the way, I heard there's another extraordinary person from China. With his help, we should be able to move faster."
"A transcendent from China?"
Araki Renkong murmured this impressive story and nodded slightly.
In the circle of extraordinary people in Asia, Chinese practitioners are equivalent to college students from Peking University and Tsinghua University. No matter how strong they are, others feel that they are famous just by hearing their reputation.
And from a certain perspective, most of the practitioners coming out of China are masters: newbies can go abroad, so wouldn’t it be embarrassing if they messed up?
"That's great. With this fellow from China here, we should be able to quickly eliminate all the demons in Japan and re-establish order." Araki Renkong nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Araki Renku said, "I've only been awake for a short time, and I've been slaying demons in the countryside. I wonder if Lord Tsuchimikado could explain the current situation to me?"
"That's easy. The current situation in Japan is not optimistic. The only one with extraordinary abilities is a shrine maiden from the Asama Shrine..."
Hokuto Marie stood timidly aside, listening to the conversation between Tsuchimikado Kurosaku and Araki Renku. She didn't dare to speak, like a rag doll, standing obediently by the side without saying a word.
She always felt that this great man named 'Tsuchimikado Heisaku' had a familiar smell on him, a smell that made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
But my master said that this person is a descendant of Lord Abe Haruaki, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Hokuto Marie thought secretly in her heart, feeling somewhat remorseful for the 'wrong' thoughts that arose in her heart.
......
At Yanjing International Airport, Lin Chuo, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood facing the wind, looking like a fairy who was not of this world, attracting a crowd of tourists to take photos and causing heated discussions.
"Isn't that the Kunlun Fairy who made us believe in science?"
"Yeah, yeah, Miss Fairy is even prettier in person than in the video!"
"The Kunlun Fairy showed up at the airport? Do fairies also need to take a plane?"
"Maybe the fairy has a limited number of flying swords today."
"The fairies have made us believe in science. Of course we have to fly when we travel. If not, do we have to fly on a sword?"
Listening to the whispers of passers-by around him, Lin Chuo took a deep breath and tried his best to remain calm.
