What happened was not complicated.

It turns out that Kiyohime had met Ashiya Doman on the way to Kyoto. As soon as he saw Kiyohime, he discovered her true identity. The old guy actually had evil intentions and wanted to regain Kiyohime as his own Shikigami.

Shikigami are also called attendant gods.

Generally, ordinary Onmyojis use invisible spirits as Shikigami. In this world, ghosts with physical bodies are not weak. Unless a Onmyoji is extremely powerful, it is impossible to collect monsters like Qingji as Shikigami. This method of controlling ghosts is a bit like the animal spirit companions of Druids, but Onmyojis' methods are more extreme. Some evil Onmyojis will even refine Shikigami themselves, which is the evolution of the art of witchcraft.

It takes a secret contract to make a monster into a shikigami, which is definitely not as simple as taming an ordinary ghost.

Ashiya Doman wanted to take Kiyohime as his shikigami, but he suffered a lot at her hands. If the old guy hadn't run fast enough, he would have been burned to ashes by Kiyohime. Many big monsters are stronger than Onmyoji, and most of the shikigami in Ampere Harumi's hands are ghosts. Ashiya Doman actually wanted to subdue Kiyohime, which was simply asking for death.

Although he was a little afraid of Qingji, after hearing what happened, Su Ziyu's face suddenly turned cold.

He may be afraid of Kiyohime, but that doesn't mean he will allow the old man Ashiya Doman to pay attention to her!

——"Spiritual Vision!"

A glimmer of light appeared in Su Ziyu's pupils. In his sight, a white dragon was circling behind Ampere Haruaki, and behind Ashiya Doman was a giant, ferocious-looking vicious dog.

In Fuso, there are dog gods and dog demons. Dog gods are guardian spirits that usually protect their masters, while dog demons are more ferocious monsters that look similar to dog gods, but are much more ferocious. Their biggest feature is that they will attack their masters. Behind Ashiya Michimitsu is a dog demon. In Onmyoji, both dog gods and dog demons are high-level shikigami. Some Onmyoji will be controlled by them. In terms of strength, this dog demon is not much weaker than Ampere Harumi's White Dragon.

The change in Su Ziyu's expression was quite obvious.

Ampei Haruaki was a smart man. He knew at a glance that Ashiya Doman probably had a grudge with the two people in front of him, but he was happy to see it happen, because Ashiya Doman was once his competitor. If there had not been a major crisis in Kyoto this time and the Fuso royal family had ordered Onmyoji from all over the country to come, he probably would not have cooperated with his old rival.

Qingji smiled gently, but her fair hand was clasped on her white paper umbrella. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Su Ziyu, as if she was going to give Ashiya in front of her a good beating as soon as he finished speaking.

"Ampere Haruaki!" Ashiya Doman suddenly stood up and said to Ampere Haruaki: "The royal family asked us to cooperate to solve the problem in Kyoto as soon as possible."

After hearing his words, Ampere Qingming hesitated for a moment, then sent a message to Su Ziyu: "Sir, can you please give me some face? We can settle any grudges you have with him later?"

"Many Onmyoji from all over the country have already arrived."

"We must attack Ghost Kyoto by tomorrow night at the latest to put an end to this disaster."

Su Ziyu thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Okay."

He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the back of Qingji's hand, signaling her not to take action for the time being. This account must be settled with Ashiya Doman, but it is really not suitable to fight him now. There are two camps of Onmyoji in Fuso, one is the royal Onmyoji camp headed by Ampei Haruaki, and the other is the folk Onmyoji camp headed by Ashiya Doman.

If we really take action, there will probably be a lot fewer cannon fodder in this operation.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency. I will ask the royal family to arrange for them to take the lead." Ampere Qingming smiled lightly and whispered secretly.

OK.

This Ampere Qingming is quite capable.

Kiyohime looked at the back of her hand with a little shyness. Her husband had just taken the initiative to hold her hand. She was so happy that she didn't even have the urge to settle the score with Ashiya Doman. She would only want to beat someone up to vent her anger when she was in a bad mood.

Ashiya Doman glanced at Su Ziyu with a slightly gloomy expression, and bowed to Ampere Haruaki and said goodbye.

Today he had to rely on his old rival for help to escape, which was a complete loss of face. However, he did not dare to really fight with Kiyohime, because last time Kiyohime burned several shikigami to death. If he fought here, his strength would be greatly reduced before he could even act. Ashiya Doman had always wanted to replace Ampei Haruaki's position. He saw this action as an opportunity. He had already secretly contacted Fujiwara no Akimitsu's faction. If he performed well enough, he might be able to compete with Ampei Haruaki in the future.

Ashiya Michimitsu was originally exiled, not because he wanted to be a folk Onmyoji.

"Mr. Su!" After watching Ashiya Doman leave in embarrassment, Ampere Haruaki raised his hand and made an invitation gesture.

An invisible ghost girl put away the tea set and quietly retreated into the house.

This is the earthbound spirit here.

"Hundreds of Yin-Yang masters have already arrived in Kyoto today." Ampere Haruaki said softly after sitting down, "It is estimated that many more will arrive tomorrow. At midnight tomorrow night at the latest, we will open the seal of Rashomon and enter the underworld."

Fuso is a relatively small place, so it won’t take too much time to get here.

Because people in Fuso during this period believed in ghosts and gods very much, there were many Onmyojis and monks among the people. They were usually scattered all over Fuso, but they could be a strong force when gathered together.

Ampere Qingming continued, "Your Excellency had better conserve your energy today and don't delay important matters."

After saying that, Ampere Qingming couldn't help but glance at Qingji next to him. Qingji's beauty was naturally stunning, but he also knew that this kind of female demon was also very good at absorbing yang energy. Ampere Qingming's mother was a fox fairy, and his father's early death might not be due to this. He was a little worried that Su Ziyu would lose too much energy if he couldn't control himself.

How dare I do anything wrong!

I couldn't even hide in time!

Su Ziyu had no words to express his pain and could only smile bitterly.

Qing Ji, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but glare at Ampere Qingming when she heard this. This guy actually wanted to ruin her good thing. If Su Ziyu hadn't been there, she would have wanted to teach him a lesson.

"Master Jieyi is setting up a magic circle. When the gates of hell are wide open, there will probably be a fierce battle." Ampere Qingming said softly, "Although others can help, if we want to enter the ghost capital, I'm afraid we will have to do it."

Ampere Haruaki was a rather proud man.

Perhaps in his eyes, the others were just cannon fodder, and if he really wanted to resolve this disaster, he and Su Ziyu had to rely on him, and now Qingji next to him could be included.

"I have sent a messenger to inform my former friend that several masters will come to help tomorrow." Ampere Qingming paused and said, "Tomorrow night I will lead the people to break through the Ghost Gate. I hope that Mr. Su can help me."

Perhaps because of Hei Qingming, this time Ampere Qingming wanted to make up for his sins and actually wanted to take on the main attacking battle.

"Okay." Su Ziyu nodded.

He discussed with Ampere Seimei about tomorrow night's events, and then took Qingji back to his residence.

There are already quite a few Onmyoji in Kyoto.

Near almost every street, there were people wearing Yin-Yang costumes carving talismans. Ampere Seimei seemed to be preparing a "Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation". These talismans connected together formed an extremely large Platycodon seal. Fuso's Yin-Yang Bureau was led by Ampere Seimei, and only he could mobilize enough manpower and resources to arrange such a formation.

In the courtyard.

Su Ziyu had just sat down when his ears moved slightly, and then he stood up.

"Come out." Su Ziyu said slowly.

Meow!

A cat's cry was heard, and then the figure of the Nine-Life Cat jumped down from the roof. She first looked around curiously, and then said to Su Ziyu: "Qingxuandeng asked me to tell you! They have rescued Lord Yan Mo!"

"But Lord Yan Mo is seriously injured and probably won't show up until tomorrow night."

Yama was rescued?

Su Ziyu couldn't help but cheer up when he heard that, but then he realized that Fuso's Yama didn't seem to be very strong. He had been in this world for so long and had never seen her, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to provide much help.

"I understand." He nodded.

At this time, Qingji came over slowly with a pot of tea. When she saw the nine-tailed cat, she was stunned for a moment, then came behind Su Ziyu with a vigilant look, staring at her with cold eyes.

"Qingji..." The Nine-Lived Cat seemed to be frightened, and the hairs all over its body stood up.

She must have recognized Qingji. She looked a little scared and muttered secretly, "I didn't expect that what Nurarihyon said was true!... You are in trouble!..."

"Then I'll go first." The Nine-Lived Cat raised his head and gave Qingji a flattering smile, then turned around and disappeared on the spot in an instant.

Qing Ji knelt in front of Su Ziyu, poured him a cup of tea and whispered, "Husband? Who is she?"

"Nine-life cat. People from the underworld. They are our allies." Su Ziyu glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle tomorrow. You should have a good rest today."

Qingxuande should be back.

I just don't know how much help she can provide. What Su Ziyu is most worried about is the Yamata no Orochi. This monster's status in Fuso is equivalent to the god of disaster. It would be difficult to defeat him with one's own strength alone.

The day passed quickly.

What made Su Ziyu feel relieved was that Qingji was indeed trustworthy and did not attack him at night, which made him worry for a long time in vain.

Ampere Haruaki came to visit him with three people. The leader was a beautiful woman dressed as a witch. She was wearing a light red suit and looked petite. The other two seemed to be monsters in human form. One of the honest-looking young men was the Inugami. In his spiritual vision, he was an Akita dog that walked like a human. The other was a tall and heroic woman with a big bow on her back. She also seemed to be a dog-like monster.

Her strength is a little bit strong, probably close to the level of a big monster, and Su Ziyu can't see her true form clearly.

If it's not a dog, it should be some close relative.

These two monsters are the Shikigami of the red-clothed priestess. She seemed to be very familiar with Ampere Haruaki. She simply came over to say hello to Su Ziyu and then left. Before leaving, she looked at Kiyohime who was quietly pouring tea beside her with surprise.

"I never thought Qingji could be subdued and become a Shikigami! It's incredible!" The shrine maiden couldn't help but exclaimed after she walked out the door.

Ampere Qingming had a strange expression when he heard this, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

"Let's go. I'll take you to meet Master Jieyi." He quickly changed the subject, fearing that these words would be heard by Qingji.

at the same time.

At Ampere Qingming's residence, an extremely beautiful woman also appeared here. She had a charming oval face, her facial features were full of charm, and there was a red beauty mole at the corner of her eye. Just one look at her would make people feel like a vixen.

"Ge Ye!" The woman appeared and whispered while making a seal with her hands.

soon.

A woman wearing a fox mask came out from the backyard. When she saw the other party, her face immediately became alert and she said vigilantly: "Nine-tailed fox! How dare you come here!"

The beautiful woman was transformed from a nine-tailed fox. Her face looked a little pale, as if she was seriously injured.

The nine-tailed fox stared at Kuzuha in front of him and said in a deep voice: "The Ghost Kyoto has been occupied by the Yamata no Orochi! Ampere Harumi's actions tomorrow may be dangerous!"

"Then you are responsible for all this?" Ge Ye couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "It's really retribution!"

"You look seriously injured. You must have reaped the consequences, right?"

The nine-tailed fox's expression did not change at all, he just said calmly: "Although my strength has been damaged, I have already intercepted Fusang's destiny, so it is not difficult to reshape my physical body."

"I just don't want to be tricked."

"Here is a way to severely injure the Yamata no Orochi, and also help Ampere Harumi eliminate his inner demons."

"You give it to Ampere Harumi."

"Let him decide for himself whether to use it or not!"

The nine-tailed fox raised his hand and threw out a brocade bag, then turned around and disappeared on the spot. Before leaving, he slowly said: "The Qingqiu Cave Mansion is given to you as compensation for borrowing your name that year."

The fox fairy Ge Ye took the brocade bag with some doubt, but after thinking about it, she took it and entered the mansion.

The nine-tailed fox was cunning and she didn't trust him.

But this matter was too important, so Ge ​​Ye could only wait until Ampere Haruaki came back before making any plans.

Time passes by little by little.

As the night deepened, a large number of Onmyoji and monks began to gather in the direction of Suzaku Avenue. The Onmyoji were led by Ampere Haruaki and Ashiya Doman, while the monks were led by Master Jieyi. Su Ziyu followed the crowd with Qingji. The big boss always appeared last, and he didn't need to take action at the beginning of the battle.

As soon as he arrived near Rashomon, he saw Ashiya Doman with a rather dissatisfied expression. As expected, Ampere Haruaki had arranged him to take the lead, obviously intending to let his men consume the enemy's strength first.

Not far away.

Ampere Qingming and Master Jieyi nodded to Su Ziyu, and then shouted: "Gate of Hell! Open!"

Invisible barriers were opened one after another.

Woo woo woo!

A strange gust of cold wind blew by, accompanied by the emergence of dark purple gaps that looked like cracks. In an instant, an eerie and terrifying door opened at the location of Rashomon.

A shrill wailing sound was heard.

Thousands of vengeful spirits and evil ghosts suddenly poured out of it.
