Knowing that Minamoto no Yorimitsu was only just beginning in this area, Ian explained further.

"Kawa Akiko is a kind of ghost that makes a crying sound."

"Its existence is due to the fact that children have drowned in the nearby river in the past,"

"He was unaware that he had been dead for a long time—he simply believed that he had been abandoned by his companions, which is why he made such a crying sound."

"..."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's eyes widened.

Clearly, this was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.

"Master, how did you know?"

"It's a bit strange, I don't know why I know all this."

Ian looked at the empty road.

"But I already knew all this when that voice rang out."

"..."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu clearly found this somewhat unbelievable, but the current situation left her no room to doubt him.

"Then Master—"

What are your plans next?

"It's very simple."

Ian raised his hand.

"Now that we know how it came about, we just need to think about how to deal with it based on this line of thinking."

“‘It was born in the river, and it must also hide in the river,’ and its cries were so clear, which means it must be nearby.”

"So--"

"If we could gather all the rivers in this area together..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Minamoto no Yorimitsu witnessed an unbelievable scene.

The sound of flowing water began to echo in the tranquil night sky.

Clear river water surged in from all directions, converging in the sky above Ian.

They are clearly in motion, but they maintain a static appearance because they form a cycle.

The water droplets, soaring into the air, lingered above the Great Onmyoji, creating a scene that resembled a miracle.

"Is there nowhere else for it to come back to life?"

Just as you predicted.

[As you gathered the water into a tornado-like torrent, the cries grew ever closer.]

You know something is approaching you.

That's a true son of the river.

"Ugh——!"

A scream broke the silence of the night.

A red-clad child's figure appeared before the two of them.

However, its facial features were already destroyed, and its arms and body were twisted into strange shapes.

"Come back...all of you, come back!"

Chuan Chizi let out a ferocious sound, and then began to run on all fours, like a wild beast without any reason.

Even Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who was seeing it for the first time, knew its purpose perfectly well.

"It was born in Sichuan, and it will surely live in Sichuan."

Yes.

It wanted to return to the waters where Ian had gathered—the place where it was born as a "ghost".

But the Great Onmyoji obviously wouldn't allow it to do that.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Lai Guang, give it a try."

"Make it the first ghost you kill."

"Eh? Yes!"

Although still a little confused, seeing Kawakita rushing towards him, even though he had no experience in this area, Minamoto no Yorimitsu knew what to do.

She drew her sword.

The knife was swung;

Shadow;

Kawachiko was cut in two by her blade, then turned into a black shadow and vanished into the air as if he had never existed.

"Lai Guang, it seems you're born to do this kind of thing."

Ian channeled the gathered water back to where it belonged, then patted his shoulder with a sigh and said:

"I guess I still need to move around every now and then."

"My lower back and back are aching now."

"Yakou."

"exist!"

"Remember to wake me up early tomorrow. If you're leaving, it'd better do it as soon as possible."

"And—I want to drink porridge."

"Yes, I understand!"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu was extremely excited at that moment.

She realized that the man in front of her was not just famous for nothing.

He is indeed a true master of Yin-Yang!

113. Yorimitsu Minamoto is providing drinks for his master (4,000-word chapter)

Having witnessed your prowess as an Onmyoji, Minamoto no Yorimitsu's trust in you has only grown stronger.

If the initial motivation was based on the worship of self-interest...

[So now it's about her personal respect.]

For this reason, she seems to have been secretly doing some strange things behind your back, and she didn't wake you up at the agreed time.

You were woken up by the smell of food.

good smell.

If I had to describe it, it would probably feel like a mixture of several kinds of herbs.

The fragrance of nature is fully expressed at this moment, and just one breath will make you feel comfortable.

Such a wonderful feeling made Ian unable to help but open his eyes.

Then he saw Minamoto no Yorimitsu sitting upright beside him with his eyes closed.

Beside her was a bowl of porridge with green foam floating on top—the aroma from earlier must have come from it.

Almost simultaneously, Minamoto no Yorimitsu opened his eyes at the same time as Ian.

"Master, you're awake."

"Ah."

Ian nodded, then looked out the window.

What came into his view was the already rising sun.

"It seems it's getting late, Raikou, why didn't you wake me up?"

"because--"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu blushed slightly.

"The sight of Master sleeping soundly makes me feel so good, so I couldn't bear to disturb you."

"is it?"

Ian looked at his voluptuous apprentice.

"So, Lai Guang, are you just going to sit next to me like this?"

"Yes, Master."

You realize that Minamoto no Yorimitsu wasn't lying.

[Because her legs did indeed appear to be in a kneeling position, just as she herself claimed.]

You realize that this might involve more than just a disciple's respect for their master.

You need to do something.

"Yakou."

"Yes, Master."

"I'd like to wash my face, could you please get me some water?"

"no problem."

At Ian's request, Minamoto no Yorimitsu stood up and walked outside.

Before long, she returned to her master with a wooden basin filled with clean water.
