The onmyoji wearing a high hat seems to be a very young man with a handsome appearance. He is wearing a dark blue onmyoji hunting suit and has an extraordinary bearing.
The woman dressed as a martial artist has a heroic appearance and sharp eyes. Even when she is sitting opposite, she does not forget to stare at herself with a scrutinizing gaze.
Gu Mo glanced at the two people with a very calm expression. Because he had already made assumptions and was mentally prepared before coming to meet the guests, so at this moment he was not surprised at all, but acted very dull. His eyes swept over the heads of the two people, and he saw their IDs as expected.
——"Abe Seimei (100%)."
——"Yorimitsu Minamoto (100%)."
Probably because he knew who these two people were, the corresponding IDs were displayed instead of just a series of question marks.
It's really this couple, and they even came to the door... Obviously there should be no such thing in the original plot, so it is really because I got involved in this story and caused the butterfly effect to spread. ?
Emmmm, it doesn’t seem right. Although it is not reflected in the plot of this article, Abe Seimei seems to be one of the old masters, Hidechiyo’s Onmyoji teacher.
I originally thought it was a pure gameplay design, but considering that Hidechiyo will travel to Heian Kyo in the future, he will indeed have dealings with Abe Seimei of that era, and when Abe Seimei sacrificed himself to seal the three monsters, it seems that he did remain. I made a shikigami paper figurine to arrange things after my death.
So is there any reason to think that... this is indeed the case? Because the paper man left behind by Abe Seimei knew about traveling through time and space, he specifically sought out Hidechiyo in this era to teach him onmyoji. At the same time, he also made secret arrangements to guide him through time and space in the future?
It was something that would have happened in the first place, but it changed a little because of my own intrusion. For example, Minamoto Yorimitsu also appeared. I wonder if he was also a paper man clone...
And instead of looking for Axiu, he was approached by name immediately, which seemed to indirectly indicate that he was likely to participate in the battle of Heian Mojing in the future...
At this thought, Gu Mo's eyes couldn't help but become a little dazed.
What a wonderful thing. If my speculation is true, that is to say, in this dungeon world, my future self has already been active in previous eras... When I am still a new player, I am still... While in this Warring States Period, we are working step by step to open up wasteland, there is another person who may already be a veteran who is brushing up on the old Heian Mojing?
Even after the mentally retarded system took over, his daily life gradually collapsed and everything in the world became magical. However, this weird space-time phenomenon involving logical order and cause and effect is still a very puzzling problem. That’s it.
——Of course, it probably has a lot to do with his rhythm not being right.
As the first serious copy of the Eight Classics guide, the level of this world is a bit too high. It is not something that a newbie like him should deal with. What ordinary people have to face is raging war, chaos, and the breeding of wild souls... High The levels also involve various incredible powers of gods and Buddhas, traveling through time and space...
Resurrection and even immortality brought about by the protection of gods also exist. The methods of magic can also be refined to extremely terrifying levels, such as allowing the spiritual outlook of gods and Buddhas to return to the earth, such as alchemy to refine the human body. The deduction is almost perfect, maybe the next step will be to open the door to truth...
So it’s no wonder that he thinks it’s too magical. Newcomers who have just entered the game should go to the Grand Forest to farm goblins and level up step by step. It’s normal to wait until the character is formed before touching the difficult version. Rhythm.
"Lord City Lord? Lord City Lord?"
The man wearing a tall hat opposite had a gentle smile on his face. When he saw the man in front of him looking at the two of them with strange eyes, and then lost his mind without knowing what he was thinking, his expression suddenly changed slightly. .
He winked at the heroic female samurai next to him and stopped what Minamoto Yorimitsu wanted to do due to his impatience. Abe Seimei tried to call softly a few more times and saw the focus of the other person's eyes shift to him again. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe the other person just didn't know him and was simply distracted, the Onmyoji thought. At the same time, he bowed his hands to the other person and said unhurriedly: "Master Gu Mo, it is really rude to ask for a meeting this time... I It’s Kuzu Ye, an Onmyoji who lives all over the world.”
Kudzu leaves?
Was it because of her mother that she gave herself such a false name? Gu Mo nodded thoughtfully and glanced at the ID above the other person's head again. When he didn't see it, the ID and health bar were hidden, but when he focused his attention, the information immediately Just jumped out.
Haha, you didn’t expect it, I’ve seen you in the game, now you still want to pretend to be stupid?
But he remained calm on the surface. Gu Mo had a calm expression on his face, nodded slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, let's get straight to the point. Excuse me... Kuzu Ye, why did you come to see me? After all, I only came in the evening. Come to Lushan City."
Abe Seimei's expression was somewhat strange. He hesitated for a moment, feeling that the other party seemed to already know something. Especially when he calls his name, he looks weird, as if he knows his real name but is acting in conjunction with him.
But it shouldn't be... After all, the opponent at this time is still relatively weak, just an ordinary person. There is really nothing special except the guardian spirit, so it is impossible for him to know.
So after a moment of hesitation, he continued to wear that gentle smile and decided to confess part of the story first: "Lord, Lord, we actually met a few days ago. It was outside Inabayama Castle. We were far apart. We met once, so you must have seen us at that time.”
After thinking about it, Abe Seimei thought that it was because he was seen at that time, so now that the other party saw the two of them coming to the door, he became suspicious and felt that there was something wrong with the two of them.
The onmyoji made such an inference and felt a little helpless at the same time. If he had known better then, he would not have gone to find the other two and just waited at Lushan City... That way, he would not have to let this person doubt him in advance. Between the two of them, negotiations will go much smoother.
"……Um."
Gu Mo stared at the two people opposite him. After a moment, he nodded slowly without saying anything.
Have you met before? Why do I have no memory at all? I can't remember it at all... Wait, those two health bars that I thought were wild monsters from afar at that time couldn't be these two guys, right? I really haven’t thought about it!
Sure enough, that's easy to handle... Abe Seimei nodded slightly, showed a brisk smile, and continued to weigh his tone and said: "Actually, we didn't meet by chance at that time, but we went there just to see you, the Lord of the City. Mainly to confirm one thing.”
He planned to change his strategy and explain around this misleading point, explaining why he and others did what they did. In short, he first gained the trust of the other party.
"Oh, what is it?"
Gu Mo nodded calmly and asked as if he was very patient and interested.
"Before I explain, please allow me to explain for a moment... Lord City Lord, do you know about Onmyoji?" Abe Seimei said, the smile on his face was as gentle as before.
In the current Warring States Period, the imperial power has declined, the samurai class has ruled the world, and Onmyoji has gradually disappeared from the stage of history. However, for a long time in the past, envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty learned the Yin-Yang theory and the Five Elements theory during the Tang Dynasty, and then gradually became popular in Japan. Onmyoji is a hot profession.
The nobles and nobles need to obtain spiritual peace and social protection from the Onmyoji, while the common people also obtain the comfort of hard life from the Onmyoji. Moreover, during the period of ignorance, onmyoji's spells and techniques were needed to cure monsters and remove curses, which can be said to be the spiritual pillar of the entire country.
Abe Seimei raised this question because he wanted to use this as an entry point.
If the other party believes in the power of Onmyoji at this time, then everything will be easy to talk about. If the other party is more doubtful, he will show off his skills and show that he does have real materials, and he can also lead to the next logical step. rhetoric.
It's like divination of fortune and misfortune, predicting that there will be great changes in the future, and the other person is a destined person, destined to save the world, so the two of them find him and want to help him, so that when the destiny comes, they can Have the power to change everything... blah blah blah, similar routines.
However--
"Onmyoji? Of course you know, there is no SSR in this game." Gu Mo continued to nod.
How could he not understand this? He was so familiar with this.
"..."
"..."
Strange silence.
Abe Seimei opened his mouth and seemed to be stunned. It was rare to see him like this. Even Minamoto Yorimitsu, who seemed to have a hot and impulsive temperament, couldn't help but take a few more glances at this moment.
But at the next moment, he suddenly laughed bitterly, sighed and shook his head: "It turns out, Mr. Gu Mo, you really know everything. I thought you were joking..." Immediately afterwards, he didn't know what he was thinking of, but he felt a little Annoyed, he hit his head with the fan in his hand: "You have made it so obvious just now, but I still don't believe it. It really makes you laugh."
On the other side, Gu Mo, who was just about to explain that it was a joke, swallowed the words when they reached his lips.
An awkward but polite smile appeared on his face, but the thoughts in his mind started to spin rapidly, what, what, what is this person saying, why can't he understand a word?
"So, Lord Gu Mo, the things you once told me about clairvoyance are all true..."
Abe Seimei looked at Gu Mo's eyes with some approval. He felt that they were clear and bright, but he couldn't see anything special about them. This made him even more amazed.
"Being born with eyes that can gaze at the world, can see through the past and the future... Such a blessing from heaven is really unimaginable. I am still ignorant."
emmmm...clairvoyance? See through the past and future?
Gu Mo blinked and probably understood something. What did his future self say to this great Onmyoji in the past?
Everything about him traveling through time and space, the butterfly effect, etc. were all speculation. Although he was prophetic to a certain extent, he was generally limited to the ins and outs of major events, and he was not able to grasp the details that had been ignored. Many, you can only rely on your own understanding and clues to make correlation guesses.
Because the time span in the game is too large, there is no way to show everything in detail. The intervals between plot tasks can range from a few months or a few years to a span of more than ten years or decades.
Occasionally there are some side tasks interspersed with some fragmented clues and information. Only when combined can we make a guess... So Gu Mo has been using his brain at this moment, but he can still only make a guess based on the clues he has. It's very possible, but not entirely certain.
However, now, Abe Seimei’s statement is a very strong evidence...
"It really made you laugh, but that's fine..." Abe Seimei sighed, and then laughed again, "This way Laimitsu and I don't have to worry about how to explain our origins, and make this thing acceptable to you. It’s a big deal, and to be honest, it’s a real headache.”
"Actually, it doesn't matter. You are both famous people. If you use the same name, I'm afraid it will attract criticism. It's better to use a fake name."
Gu Mo still didn't know a lot about it, but he still followed the other person's words according to the general idea, with a calm and determined look on his face... Although he didn't know all the details, he still understood the general situation, and he now His character is a prophet!
"That's the truth, but Lai Guang and I didn't plan to show up in front of others..."
Abe Seimei shook his head.
"We are just paper-man shikigami hosting a trace of the spirit of the past. Although we retain all the memories and cognitions of the original body, we are not complete human beings after all, and hundreds of years have passed in this blink of an eye. Even if we rely on The spiritual stone has been nourished, and its condition is not as good as before..."
He said casually, and pointed at himself and Minamoto Yorimitsu next to him with his fan:
"We can't do anything anymore. We can only teach you some things as promised while the current paper man clones are still alive. Before the seal of the Phoenix Academy is loosened...well, I can only use onmyoji. Yes, Lai Guang also has some unique skills, I hope you and Hidechiyo-sama don’t dislike her.”
The heroic female warrior snorted, but she also acquiesced that this was a closed loop——
He and Qingming devoted themselves to teaching these two people, allowing them to grow up quickly, and finally, under the guidance of fate, they eliminated the three monsters that they and Qingming could only seal and deal with...
And also under the guidance of fate, when they grew up, they went back to the past to help themselves and Qingming's original bodies during their lifetimes. Therefore, when the two of them knew about it, they found a way to keep the paper people and help them grow in the future.
