Kyoto.
When Su Ziyu disguised himself and returned to the capital of Fusang, he found that the number of people here seemed to have decreased a lot.
People were in a hurry, even the number of business travelers was much less, and some houses were closed in the daytime, as if the people inside had moved out. When he entered the city, he found that some nobles seemed to be preparing to move out. Now it seems that there are indeed many people who have temporarily moved out in Kyoto. However, the shrines and temples are very lively, and it seems that many people go there to offer incense every day.
"Benefactor?..." Just as Su Ziyu was strolling on the street, a girl who had just walked out of the shrine saw his back, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly caught up with him.
Huh?
Su Ziyu stopped and turned around to look, with a slightly surprised expression on his face, and said with a smile: "So it's you."
She was a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was the one that Su Ziyu rescued on Suzaku Avenue that night. He still had a deep impression of this girl because she looked about 70% similar to Qingxuande.
What’s more important is that under the spiritual vision, there was a strange white gas on the other party’s body, it seemed that ordinary ghosts could not hurt her at all.
"It's really you!" The girl looked very happy and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you for saving me that night."
Su Ziyu smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake."
"Are you okay with your injury?"
The girl in front of her named Fujiwara Kaori shook her head gently and said, "The medicine my benefactor gave me is very effective. I am already fine now."
"I have been looking for you for many days, but I haven't been able to meet you again."
"I didn't expect to meet you here today."
Su Ziyu looked at the other person for a few seconds, and then asked, "Where do you live now?"
"I am temporarily staying at my uncle's house in Sakyo." Fujiwara Kaori bowed again and said, "My benefactor, would you come and sit down when you are free? I would like to entertain you and repay you for saving my life."
Su Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
He was extremely curious about the girl in front of him, because Fujiwara Kaori looked very similar to Aoandon, and Su Ziyu also wanted to know what the white gas on the other person was.
"Great! Please follow me!" Fujiwara Kaori bowed again and said happily.
She should be a noble.
Under the guidance of Fujiwara Kaori, Su Ziyu came to a mansion in Sakyo. The people living nearby were all princes and nobles, and common people probably couldn't even get close to here.
"Please come in." The girl lived in an independent courtyard.
As soon as Su Ziyu entered, he saw many flowers and plants. It must have taken a lot of effort to take care of them. The area of this yard is estimated to be several hundred square meters. There is a small bamboo forest not far away and a pond next to it with more than ten koi fish.
The girl's residence was quite elegant, with a vase of flowers placed in front of the door. There was even a poem hanging on the wall of the living room, which Su Ziyu was quite familiar with.
——"We are both people who have been cast away into the world, so why should we have known each other before we met?"
It turned out to be Bai Juyi's Pipa Song.
Su Ziyu suddenly became more interested in the girl in front of him. In Fuso, high-ranking nobles had to learn Chinese characters and Chinese poetry. The Chinese culture had a great influence on Fuso during this period. Even the history was recorded in Chinese characters. The crooked Fuso scripts of later generations were all gradually created later. The purpose was to reduce the influence of Chinese culture on Fuso culture. However, no matter how the Chinese characters were changed, many of them were still retained.
"Does my benefactor also like Bai Juyi's poems?" Fujiwara Kaori came out holding a wooden tray and said softly, "We are both people who have been cast away to the ends of the earth. Why should we have known each other before we met?"
"Mr. Bai Juyi's poems are truly beautiful!"
"What a pity that I don't have the chance to see the prosperous Tang Dynasty!"
Su Ziyu smiled and nodded, "Yes. I'm originally from China, so naturally I like it very much."
"Ah! It turns out that my benefactor is from Tang." Fujiwara Kaori covered her mouth in surprise.
Su Ziyu stood up and turned around. Next to him was a small study room with a large number of books, including many ancient Tang poems, mostly by Bai Juyi. It seemed that the girl in front of him liked the poet Bai Juyi very much.
Huh?
Su Ziyu saw a book on the desk. He looked at it curiously and read it out: "Murasaki Shikibu?"
"Did you write this?"
In an instant, it was like a flash of lightning flashed through my brain.
Su Ziyu suddenly remembered many things. He turned around and stared at the girl in front of him blankly. She looked a little at a loss and asked slowly, "Fujiwara Kaori? Murasaki Shikibu?"
"Ah? This is the diary I wrote when I was bored." The girl said a little uncomfortably, mainly because Su Ziyu's expression looked a little serious.
Oh shit!
It’s her!
Su Ziyu immediately remembered the identity of the girl in front of him. She was the extraordinary woman who wrote "The Tale of Genji". She was known as one of the Thirty-Six Poet Immortals in the Middle Ages and her literary status in Japan was astonishing.
——"Spiritual Vision!"
Su Ziyu looked at the girl in front of him again. Sure enough, there was still that strange white mist surrounding her, and it was getting thicker and thicker.
"Benefactor?" Fujiwara Kaori said timidly, as if she didn't understand why Su Ziyu was so surprised after seeing her diary, which only recorded some daily trivial matters.
Su Ziyu shook his head and chuckled, "Call me Su Ziyu."
"nothing."
"I'm just a little curious, and you look very similar to someone I know."
Look alike?
Fujiwara Kaori looked a little strange, and whispered, "Really? Who is she? Can I meet her?"
"That might be a bit difficult." Su Ziyu shook his head.
Qingxuande is already a monster.
The ghost capital must be in chaos right now. How could Su Ziyu take her to the underworld, unless Qingxuande came to the world of the living to see her himself.
What was Qingxuandeng’s identity in the past?
Judging from her behavior, she looked completely like an aristocrat. She also looked so similar to the girl in front of him, Su Ziyu felt that he needed to test her out.
"I also found a book not long ago." Su Ziyu thought for a moment and said softly, "But it's a book of ghost stories."
"I don't know if you'll be scared."
A ghost story?
Fujiwara Kaori's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked very curious. She whispered, "Can you really let me see it? It's okay! I sometimes read some ghost stories!"
Su Ziyu took out the Hundred Tales, carefully handed it to the girl in front of him and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, don't read it anymore."
"Hyaku Monogatari?!" The moment Fujiwara Kaori saw the book, her face turned pale and she seemed a little scared.
But after hesitating for a moment, she still reached out to take the book, muttering: "It's actually Hyaku Monogatari!..."
Fujiwara Kaori seemed to know something.
Su Ziyu immediately asked, "Why? Have you seen it before?"
“No…” Fujiwara Kaori shook her head, flipped open the Hyakumonogatari in front of her, and whispered, “I just remember that there was an aunt who loved ghost stories very much and planned to write a Hyakumonogatari herself.”
"Just..." Su Ziyu asked quickly: "Just what?"
Fujiwara Kaori's expression showed a hint of fear and sadness, and she said timidly: "But then she disappeared..."
Missing?
Su Ziyu immediately thought of Aoandon. He had seen some remaining images in Hyaku Monogatari. Judging from those images, Aoandon's family background should have been very good at that time, and he must have been the child of a noble.
"What's her name?" Su Ziyu asked slowly.
Fujiwara Kaori recalled for a moment and whispered, "Fujihara Kaori."
In a moment!
Su Ziyu felt a sudden chill in the room, and then invisible ghost lights appeared on the "Hyaku Monogatari". Fujiwara Kaori just felt a little cold, and shivered involuntarily, while Su Ziyu turned around and looked behind him calmly.
——"Green Lantern!"
Her figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Ziyu, with a slightly complicated look in her eyes. She looked at Fujiwara Kaori in front of her, shook her head at Su Ziyu, and said in a voice transmission: "Don't tell her!"
Su Ziyu thought about it and nodded slightly.
Anyway.
Fujiwara Kaori is just an ordinary person after all, and it is not a good thing for her to be exposed to too many demons and monsters. However, there are also some stories about demons in The Tale of Genji. Seeing that she is a little scared but also very curious, it should be the same hobby as Aoandon.
Aoandon's gaze fell on Hyakumonogatari, and there was a hint of worry on her beautiful face.
She raised her white wrist and waved gently, and the Hyakumonogatari automatically left Fujiwara Kaori's hand and returned to Su Ziyu's hand.
really!
This strange object is very special.
No matter how the Suziyu turned it, it couldn't find a way to use it, but Qingxuande could easily control it. This big monster must have a purpose in giving him the Hyakumonogatari.
"Ghost Kyoto is in danger now!" Qing Xingdeng transmitted the message: "The underworld is in chaos, and demons are rampant."
"Be careful at night."
"If you want to find me, Hyakumonogatari will tell you where I am."
After saying this, Qingxuandeng turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared before their eyes.
"Ah?" Fujiwara Kaori was reading Hyakumonogatari with great interest, but suddenly the book disappeared. She looked up and found that it was in Su Ziyu's hand. She hesitated and said, "I... I can't read it?..."
She had just read the Prajna chapter and was finding it very interesting.
"I have to go now." Su Ziyu smiled and shook her head, "I'll come to see you again when I have the chance."
"Is that so... my benefactor is leaving soon?..." Fujiwara Kaori said with a somewhat reluctant look on her face.
Su Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "Don't go to Suzaku Street recently."
"It would be best if we could leave Kyoto for a while."
After saying that, he ignored Fujiwara Kaori's surprised look, turned around and walked out, disappearing on the street in the blink of an eye.
In a deserted alley.
Su Ziyu turned around and looked at the empty space behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Come out!"
Two ghosts who looked like warriors gradually emerged.
The only difference is that they are different from other underworld patrols. There is a "sun" character on their foreheads. These are the day patrols, that is, the patrolling gods that appear during the day.
"Contamination found!"
After the two daily patrols appeared, Su Ziyu couldn't help but be stunned, because the space-time monitor system actually showed a prompt of a pollutant.
"kill!"
"Kill!" The two warrior ghosts drew their swords at the same time and slashed at Su Ziyu.
Their pupils were a strange scarlet, completely different from the night patrols they had seen before. Two cold blades slashed directly at the Suzi fish. After all, they were all warriors in life, and most of the abilities they retained after death were swordsmanship. The soul-catching locks on their waists were more like a prop than a weapon.
Ding ding!
The Meteorite Sword on Su Ziyu's waist was unsheathed in an instant, and as soon as he thought about it, flashes of lightning appeared on the sword of the Meteorite Sword.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The two warrior ghosts pounced on him again. They surrounded Su Ziyu from the front and the back, swinging their swords and slashing at the same time. Their attack was quite fierce, as if they wanted to make it impossible for him to defend himself from the front and the back at the same time.
bump.
Cracks appeared on the bluestone ground. Su Ziyu swung his sword and pounced on a warrior ghost right in front of him. At the moment when the two sides crossed each other, a cold sword light flashed, accompanied by electric arcs jumping on the sword. The warrior ghost in front of him began to collapse inwards, and his entire body collapsed and shrank inwards, quickly disappearing and turning into a light black bead.
"Go!" The meteorite in Su Ziyu's hand turned into a flash of lightning and flew out.
He didn't turn around either.
The meteorite sword directly pierced the warrior ghost behind him. After flying more than ten meters, Su Ziyu gently waved his hand and said, "Sword!"
A flash of lightning flashed by.
The Meteorite Sword automatically flew back to Su Ziyu's hand.
Telekinesis.
After strengthening his psychic power to LV6, Su Ziyu also strengthened his ability to control telekinesis. The power of his telekinesis has increased significantly. Although he cannot reach the level of the Bald Professor, it is still very easy for him to control objects through telekinesis.
"Gain 1 source of power."
"Gain 1 source of power."
The arrival of these two daily patrols was a bit sudden. It was unclear whether they were sent by the underworld to capture him, or whether they were lured here by the Qingxuande's recent appearance.
They seemed to have lost their minds and looked murderous.
What happened in Hades?
Su Ziyu waved his hand and two soul beads fell into his palm. He glanced at them and threw them into the storage space. They were all first-level wonders, named "Spirit of Warrior".
His figure rose into the air.
Su Ziyu used an invisibility cloak to hide his own tracks and flew directly towards Rashomon's location.
The situation in Ghost Kyoto is unclear, and combined with Qingxuande's words before he left, Su Ziyu felt that he needed to sneak in and investigate. These two day patrols turned into monsters. If those night patrols in the underworld also turned into monsters, then the situation can be imagined to be very bad.
certainly.
This also means that there is a large amount of source power available in the underworld.
