In line with Fujiwara Michizuna's speculation, the monster's target was not Kyoto, but a bamboo forest west of Kyoto.
Although it is close to the prosperous Kyoto, not many people would choose to visit here, because there are only bamboos here, just the same bamboos.
But the more important reason is that it is said that there is a quiet monster hiding here!
There are two points of evidence to prove the existence and preference of 'it':
First, whenever the voices of humans who come to play are too noisy, the way will be blocked by bamboos that suddenly grow, until the people trapped in the "maze" are noisy and cry, "I don't dare anymore, just leave now" 'Only in this bamboo forest can we find the way out;
Secondly, during the lonely month, there will always be a melodious and crisp flute sound playing in this bamboo forest.
When a passerby asked to find out who the master was who played this beautiful silk and bamboo sound, the feedback he received was the sudden stop of the rhythm and the swaying forest that suppressed the sound of the flute.
At this time, if you are lucky enough to meet an old man living nearby, they will tell you that "drinking with a close friend, music with a close friend", if there is a fate, we will meet each other, there is no need to force it.
But at this moment, this bamboo forest guarded by mysterious monsters has encountered an unprecedented crisis!
The crimson energy mass was like a falling full moon hanging low in the sky, and a terrifying monster with four soft wings on its back stood in front of the 'blood moon'.
She roared, venting the infinite emotions accumulated in her heart; her soft and slender ears like a rabbit stood high, showing the anger inside; her arms, which tended to look like humans, showed a ferocious ghost appearance when they extended to the palms of her hands. The appearance of claws.
"Kaguya, get behind me."
Staring directly at the unknown and terrifying monster in the sky, Jinyu Ji suddenly stood in front of her friend.
Just like when he encountered danger in the past, the big man would block it with the Arakawa water tribe behind him.
"She, she should be here to find me."
"Go quickly, Jinyu Ji."
As the little goldfish stepped forward, weak and painful responses came intermittently from a girl's mouth.
Of course, calling her a human girl is obviously a little inaccurate. She has delicate and lovely soft cheeks, black and smooth waist-length hair, pure eyes that are radiating a little bit of divine light, and a face shrouded by a blood moon. The peculiarity!
It's not supposed to be,
There is no doubt that the big monster with the blood moon came to find her! !
"no, do not want!"
"No one can hurt my friends."
"I swore it!!"
However, the little goldfish instantly denied the words of her companion behind her. Her long blue hair lifted by the wind covered her cheeks, but just by listening to that decisive voice, you can feel the unwavering determination in her heart.
She must never lose it,
Never watch your partner get injured again and be unable to recover!
As his thoughts burst out, along with the gurgling demonic power pouring down from his body, azure water suddenly rose up out of thin air around him.
Such competing wills obviously aroused the anger of the 'Moon Beast'.
The concept of 'The Princess of the Moon was taken away from the world' exploded in her mind again.
Before, his scrupulous attitude was vented at this moment without hesitation!
At this moment, the clearest sign was that the red barrier covering Kyoto suddenly became mottled and deep. The blue barrier constructed by three Onmyoji families in Kyoto was greatly squeezed, and they were marching in the open space under great pressure. The three of them, Seimei Minamoto, Yorimitsu Minamoto, and Onikiri, stopped because of this.
Onikiri's sword was humming, and a ferocious look gradually appeared on his tough face. The past scenes entangled him like undying resentment, and encouraged him to behead the head of the Minamoto family beside him to vent his anger!
it's him,
I deceived myself! !
Minamoto Noraimitsu's condition is slightly better. After all, he has experienced too many things when he took the position of the head of the Minamoto family at an extremely young age. If he really had no endurance at all, he would have been swallowed up by the powerful and cunning family behind him long ago, and not even the dregs would be left.
But even so, this doesn't mean that he can completely show his composure under this huge burst of demonic power.
The self who is entangled with unknown power, the self who is gradually swallowed by the Yamata-no-Orochi, the self who is questioned and spurned by the entire Minamoto family and the entire Kyoto!
This is the biggest obstacle that Minamoto no Yorimitsu is currently facing! !
After just a brief confrontation with nothingness, the face of the genius of the Yuan family turned pale, and his tightly pursed lips trembled slightly.
'Kill yourself and apologize. '
Faintly, his lips seemed to collide with such a sound.
I don’t know if it’s his thoughts at the moment, or he’s reciting the voice in the nightmare scene!
Among the three, Qingming's performance seems to be the best.
Not only did he look calm, but his whole body continued to emit azure light of magical power, resisting the pressure of the barrier from all sides like a tide.
But as everyone knows, he is the one in the most critical situation among the three.
In his senses, a young man with exactly the same face and figure was standing quietly in front of him.
If there is any difference, it is very obvious.
Seimei himself is wearing a hunting suit based on blue and white, while the one on the opposite side is wearing a hunting suit based on black and purple. Moreover, there were special dark lines on the latter's face, and there was also an inquiring, sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.
Let's call it "Black Seimei" based on the color of Kari's clothes. Based on the way his lips move, he seems to be saying:
"hypocritical."
The most important thing is that, unlike Minamoto Yorimitsu and Onikiri's state, there seems to be a black and hazy figure about to split from Seimei's body! !
And when all the onmyojis in Kyoto who were still sane were in chaos, Fujiwara Michizuna calmly withdrew his eyes from the book in his lap:
"Oh, have you found it yet?"
"Then, please solve it quickly, before this city falls completely."
.........
.........
"Don't be impulsive, Jinyu!"
Seeing the conflict that was about to break out, a shouting voice suddenly sounded.
Following the voice, I saw a big sister with a mature charm all over her body, especially the round jade legs that were looming under her skirt, which contained an aura that made people infinitely daydreaming.
However, the cigarette rod in her hand and the calm look in her eyes told others that she was more than just her superficial charm!
"But Yanyanluo, its existence makes Kaguya very painful."
As soon as the familiar voice reached his ears, the little goldfish's movements slowed down a beat, and the water surging beside him also lost its tendency to swallow everything.
No matter how anxious he is about his good friend's obstruction, he still can't ignore it casually.
The woman who stopped her was none other than Yan Yanluo, the sister of the hair-eating ghost.
She is also the third member of the women's association founded by Little Goldfish.
It is worth mentioning that this charming elder sister is obviously not as useless as her brother, the hair-eating ghost. She has been to many places with the wind and knows many unknown secrets. The whole person It's like a mystery.
This is also the reason why the little goldfish suddenly loses momentum under the other party's words.
"I know,"
"I know that you and Kaguya have a very good relationship. You are also the first good friend she met in this mortal world."
"But some pain is necessary."
"Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon."
"Believe in Kaguya, I believe that your friend will be able to overcome the difficulties on his own."
Yanyan Luo Xiaozhi said affectionately.
There was distress in the soft eyes, but more importantly, determination.
She clearly knew that the little goldfish's attitude had gradually irritated the other party. The reason why this monster that descended from the Moon Palace did not really express its power to itself was also due to Kaguya's identity.
A blind collision will not bring any good results.
If you want to resolve all this peacefully, you can only look to Kaguya herself!
Hearing this, even though Jinyu Ji wanted to share the pressure for her friend, she finally chose to believe it after seeing her good friend struggling and fighting against something.
As the water flowed away, she endured the pain in her heart and made way for her good friend, who was covering her head with her hands and whose eyes were full of pain, to face the 'Moon Demon' head-on.
But judging from her still clenched fists, once her good friend encounters something dangerous, she will still rush to protect him as soon as possible.
No matter how powerful the monster that descends from the night is! !
at the same time,
Countless broken pictures also appeared in Kaguya's senses, and these pictures were very different from the terrible nightmare that everyone in Kyoto was trapped in. They were just memory pictures sealed deep in someone's mind. At this time Unblocked and mobilized.
It was a memory that happened outside the human world, in the cold moon palace.
It was a memory about Tsukihime, Inaba Usagi, and the Princess of the Moon.
There are countless pains lingering,
But it is precisely because of this heart-wrenching pain that makes this memory sincere and precious.
"I remembered,"
"I am, Princess Kaguya,"
Suddenly, a murmur escaped from the girl's thin lips.
The voice was full of confusion and struggle, as if he was still immersed in bad memories of the past.
"Kaguya."
The little goldfish's heart was twitching. She stretched out her fingers to touch her close friend. However, Yanyanluo's words suddenly rang out again. When she was almost touching him, she curled up again. Returned the palm.
"I am the Princess of the Moon, Kaguya."
At this moment, the girl continued speaking. Not only did she have a special title when referring to herself, but her speech became smoother as a result.
The hands that were covering his head fell down, and his small body that was stooped due to the torn memory straightened up.
Facing the four-winged monster standing in front of the blood moon, the girl's eyes became soft and distressed.
"You're Inaba Usagi, right? Have you come to see me?"
"Then come here, I'm here."
She said softly, opening her slender arms in a hug gesture.
Just one word, just one word,
Tsuki no Yu-hime looked hateful one second, but the hatred and anger in her eyes instantly collapsed in the next second.
Not only that, the blood-colored red barrier around him also surged and dissipated at this moment, and the demon turned into a soft and cute little rabbit and ran straight towards the owner who opened his arms.
In the dark corner of the bamboo forest, a figure with tense finger bones gradually relaxed his fingers, and slowly disappeared from the place with the bamboo flute held tightly in his hand.
........
"What the hell is going on."
"Why do I sleep on the floor?"
"I feel like I'm having the worst nightmare I've ever had."
"..."
Although it is night, Kyoto is beginning to 'wake up'. The lifting of the nightmare barrier allows people to escape from the nightmare.
However, people at this moment seem to be recovering from a serious illness, and their bodies and minds are exhausted.
The same goes for the trio who went to retreat.
Although they were separated from the confinement of nightmares, their nerves did not relax.
Onikiri looked at the approaching Minamoto Yorimitsu, his eyes dim, and his palms involuntarily stretched towards the sword on his waist.
Although Minamoto no Yorimitsu looked as calm as a mountain, his sharp eyes still added a sense of vicissitudes of life.
The black shadows around Qingming disappeared out of thin air, but Yu's thoughtful eyes were obviously considering what was going on.
Eliminating the dark side of oneself so that only good thoughts remain in the body was something that only existed in his imagination, but just now, it seemed that he was about to succeed.
Or maybe it has already been successful.
The onmyojis of the three major families could also breathe a long sigh of relief, and at the same time, the eyes they looked at the Fujiwara family onmyoji in the corner could not help but change.
Eliminating the crisis in such a short period of time is obviously not something that the head of the Minamoto family can do. The only possible reason is that, as Fujiwara Michizuna said, the monster got what it wanted, thus eliminating its own influence on the crisis. Influence from the surroundings.
"Onmyoji-sama, the crisis in Kyoto seems to have been resolved?"
The red barrier that suddenly disappeared at the end of the field of vision made the sense of urgency on the ghost ship suddenly disappear. Even Suzuka Gozen couldn't help but judge that the incident was over.
"Seems to be."
Huang replied vaguely and uncertainly.
On the surface, the crisis in Kyoto does seem to have been resolved, and the scent of Ponyo and other contracted monsters has reappeared in his senses, but there is always an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
Without the wish to pursue the Moon God, how did Tsuki no Yuhime come to the world from the Moon Palace?
Could it be that Kaguya awakened her memory on her own and called her?
However, Kaguya's memory was interfered by Si Zheng, the leader of the moon people, in order to allow the princess of the moon, who had awakened her mortal heart, to forget everything before and become a completely controllable wishing puppet.
Therefore, let alone whether Kaguya can retrieve her original memory on her own, even if she can, it is time for Tsukigomi to intervene.
"Now that the crisis is over, let's go back home now?"
"If we go back now, I'm afraid it will be a little unclear."
Suzuka Gozen continued, but did not make a decision on her own.
The influence of the Lord of Demons and Demons still exists.
"Um,"
Wen Yanhuang nodded, but then added:
"However, please continue to the main ship, I am still a little uneasy."
