By the time we approached Kyoto, the sky had completely dimmed.

Of course, it is mainly to wait for Cheng Ming.

A long journey is enough to distinguish the difference in physical strength.

Onmyoji practices heretics and borrows the power of ghosts and gods, and his physical fitness may not be greatly improved.

Of course, when you reach the level of the Great Onmyoji, you can directly absorb the power of ghosts and gods for your own use. Then you have another step-by-step ability to reach the sky. Although you do not practice step by step, it is considered to be a different path.

Taoist Akashi is still far from the great Onmyoji. Even so, he is over forty years old, and he is much more agile than Cheng Ming, who should be young and strong.

As for riding a horse.

The only two horses of Akashi Taoist, one of whom was pulling a cart, and Akashi Ji and Ling Xiaoyu were sitting on the cart.

The other horse carries a lot of luggage.

In this year, the island country was extremely short of horses and cattle and other animals. Taoist Akashi was just a small nobleman in a small place. It was good to have two horses.

Cheng Ming used to have horses, but after being exiled, he sold the horses for some money to make a living.

Cheng Ming slept with his brother, the woman of Emperor Suzaku today. If Emperor Suzaku himself had not been restricted and his mother was helping him, his head would have been chopped off long ago.

I fled from Kyoto in a hurry.

Of course, I didn't bring much wealth.

After entering Kyoto City, the sky was completely dark.

There are not a single pedestrian on the relatively wide street.

No one on both sides lit the lanterns.

It was not until I left that I saw a row of lanterns with fiery red eyes and mouth floating in the air, and then leisurely flew over their heads.

Several ghosts can be seen from afar, running and chasing on the street.

If it is a person with a little spirituality, if you look around carefully, you can gradually see that the streets that seemed deserted were already full of liveliness.

This place is a city of human beings during the day, but at night it is a city of ghosts.

The mixing of each other is like cutting a good Kyoto into two parts in a plain way, turning it into two different places.

The Taoist Akashi walked in front with a spell, and then whispered: "Don't look at them, as long as they don't look at them, they will not notice us. Otherwise, they will be taken into the kingdom of monsters and it will be difficult to come out again."

Cheng Ming was not surprised either. Although he had no ability, he said with great confidence: "Don't worry too much. The monks from Wang Huguo Temple will come out to patrol every night. As long as you follow them, there will be no danger."

This kind of habit is the most surprising thing.

In ancient China, when spiritual energy was abundant.

As a capital of a country, the powerful emperor's dragon energy suppresses it, and it is even more shrouded in turbulent luck.

Not to mention those demons and ghosts, even practitioners in the right path will be affected to a certain extent when they arrive in the capital, and they dare not be too presumptuous.

Only when the country is about to die and fortune declines will some monsters appear, but they are all powerful monsters that are powerful in the world.

Kyoto, the island country, is known as Heian Kyo, but when it comes to night, all kinds of monsters and ghosts run out to wander around, even grab living people and drag them into their country. No matter how you think about it, you will not end up well.

As I was walking, I heard real footsteps coming from afar.

There are also vague chanting sounds.

The scriptures were translated into the island language.

Judging from the level of Chu He after learning some languages ​​in the island countries in recent days, it should be the Prajna Sutra.

The monks wearing blue-black robes, hats and Zen staff were arranged in two groups and walked past Chu He and the others.

Although they had the voices and movements of living people, they were stiff like stones, and the expression on their faces, which was so solemn or numb, made people feel strange when they saw it.

Perhaps what remains in the hearts of ordinary people may not be all reliable and safe, and there will be an inexplicable sense of horror.

I have seen the tip of the iceberg of Heianjing under the night sky.

Everyone finally arrived at Cheng Ming's residence in Kyoto.

This mansion was not abandoned. Although Cheng Ming was not in Kyoto, his wives and concubines were left here and continued to take care of them.

Cheng Ming's return made these wives and concubines very happy.

They came forward one after another and asked Cheng Ming about his well-being. Some even began to cry silently, as if they were sad about Cheng Ming's experience. Then they seemed to think of their own destiny, and they felt even more miserable.

In short, some strange brain circuits are indeed different from those of Chinese.

According to the concept proposed by the later island people, the master of Chinese studies in the Edo period of the island nation, the study of the Tale of Genji was that since the Heian era, the bones of the island people were filled with a feeling called "中文六".

It seems to be explained as the "true temperament" of Chinese people, but it is a bit different.

Just like some people, when they see a leaf falling into the water, they will first sigh... Oh, it's so beautiful! I also hope to have such a beautiful day. Then, then they will take a quick turn. Suddenly, they will feel life, feel their own destiny, and then burst into tears.

In short, this concept is "revealing of true feelings". When a person's heart comes into contact with the external world, it brings emotions to the scene, and emotions to the things. The heart is moved and touched. At this time, the emotions naturally emerge, either joy, anger, fear, sadness, or lingering, or longing. People with such emotions are those who understand "sorrow of things".

For those who live at the bottom of the island country and struggle to survive, no matter what kind of sadness or sadness is nothing.

But among these nobles, this atmosphere and emotion spread very thoroughly, and it seemed that everyone had such a pathological side.

After a long mess, Cheng Ming comforted his wife and concubines, and finally remembered that he brought back several noble guests, which was also the capital for him to safely gain a foothold in Ping Anjing.

It is true that he offended Emperor Suzaku, but now he is in power and is responsible for the regent. The Fujiwara family is in charge of the four men of Fujiwara Kiyosu.

And Tadaehei Fujiwara is Cheng Aki's cousin.

Although the Emperor is the nominal supreme ruler of the island country, his power is not always in the hands of the Emperor.

It’s okay in the Heian era. The emperor occasionally loses power, but in fact, this power is still circulating among the corresponding interest classes.

Just like the Fujiwara family, it is actually a family of relatives who are attached to the Emperor family.

They seemed to have a huge right, but that right belonged to the Emperor. They just undermined the Emperor and then stole the Emperor's rights.

In the Shogunate era, the Emperor was truly in power and became a complete mascot.

So as long as the three Tang envoys including Chu He who brought back could provide enough benefits, under the protection of the Fujiwara family, even if Emperor Suzaku wants to attack Cheng Ming, he will be helpless.
