Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Ashiya Michimitsu was an Onmyoji, but unlike Abe no Seimei, he was a wandering Onmyoji without the support of a powerful family.

However, Haruhiko remembered that he should have served under Fujiwara no Akimitsu a thousand years ago.

The Fujiwara clan was an extremely powerful and formidable family at the time.

It can be summed up in four words: one family with three descendants.

Fujiwara no Akimitsu held the position of Minister of the Right, second only to the Grand Minister of State, Fujiwara no Michinaga.

The Grand Minister of State was equivalent to the Prime Minister, the head of all officials.

Although Fujiwara no Akimitsu and Fujiwara no Michinaga were from the same family, they disagreed on political views.

The former received the support of Ashiya Dōman, while the latter received the support of Abe no Seimei.

Historically, it goes without saying who won.

Ashiya Dōman was thus exiled and became a wandering onmyoji.

"The Way is complete."

Suddenly, a sound came from not far away.

Haruhiko turned his head and saw a middle-aged man walking towards him.

Two words suddenly popped into his mind.

Circular energy.

His name sounds like that of a monk, but he is actually an Onmyoji.

He was a friend and colleague of Ashiya Dōman, and they both worked under Fujiwara Akimitsu.

"Yuan Neng, is there something you need?"

Haruhiko quickly got into character.

Because it's so much like a role-playing game.

He played a lot in his previous life.

However, this time it's more realistic and more subdued.

"Lord Xianguang has summoned us."

Yuan Neng said in a serious tone, "It should be that matter from before."

Which thing?

Haruhiko remained silent.

Because no memory surfaced in his mind, he had no idea what it was about.

But to avoid revealing any flaws, he had no choice but to agree.

"Looks like we're in trouble."

"This is indeed a big problem."

Yuan Neng agreed, saying, "But trouble represents opportunity. As long as we succeed, we will all get what we want."

Haruhiko nodded, still wondering what it was all about.

However, such wild guessing without any clues is obviously unlikely to yield any results.

"Let's go see Lord Xianguang now."

Haruhiko urged.

"You go first, I'll go and call my apprentice Miaoyan."

Yuan Neng pointed to the courtyard on the left and said.

Miao Yan?

Are you sure you're not monks?

Since Haruhiko couldn't find the way, he said, "Then I'll go with you."

"Alright."

Yuan Neng did not refuse, saying, "Miao Yan should be sleeping; that child has always been lazy."

The two followed the corridor to another courtyard.

Compared to Ashiya Dōman, it is somewhat inferior.

It seems his status is somewhat lower.

In ancient Japan, the hierarchical system was extremely strict and could not be easily transcended.

"Wonderful!"

As Yuan Neng got closer, he began to shout loudly.

"immediately!"

After a few calls, a response was heard.

The door opened, and a young man appeared.

He looked to be in his early twenties, quite similar to Ashiya Dōman now, and was also wearing the hunting robes of an Onmyoji.

It really is an Onmyoji.

Haruhiko couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Your names are such a waste. They're so Zen-like, you should become monks."

"teacher."

After bowing to Enneng, Myo-en looked at Haruhiko and said, "Lord Doman."

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow slightly.

Ashiya Dōman's status was higher than he had imagined.

Although young, he may become the top Onmyoji.

It was with such strength and talent that he was able to contend with Abe no Seimei, the most famous and powerful Onmyoji in history.

"Let's hurry and see Lord Xianguang, lest he get impatient."

Yuan finished exchanging pleasantries and turned to leave.

Haruhiko followed behind him, going through various corridors and wandering around for a long time before finally arriving at the hall.

To this, he could only say that all noble ministers in ancient times were the same: extravagant.

However, given Fujiwara Akimitsu's status, it's not surprising that he owns such a luxurious mansion.

The Fujiwara clan was truly terrifying in this era.

A middle-aged man was sitting in the seat in the center of the hall.

He wore a luxurious kimono with gold trim, exuding an air of authority and authority, as if he had long held a high position.

"Lord Xian Guang."

All three bowed in greeting.

"I called you all here today for only one thing."

Fujiwara Akimitsu said in a calm tone, "Cast a curse on Fujiwara Michinaga."

“A medium is needed to cast a curse.”

Yuan Neng had already anticipated this, so he wasn't surprised. He made his request: "It would be best if it were something that Fujiwara no Michinaga would wear personally."

"You'll have to figure that out yourselves."

Fujiwara Akimitsu looked at him and said, "Fujiwara Michinaga and I are like oil and water, and I can no longer get close to him, but you can."

"We hope that Master Xianguang can help us forge our identities so that we can infiltrate the area."

Yuan took a deep breath and said.

"no problem."

Fujiwara Akimitsu smiled faintly and said, "Tomorrow will be fine. You can go and make preparations."

"Yes."

After bowing again, the three people slowly withdrew.

Haruhiko frowned slightly.

Although he knew of a few curses, he was certain they weren't the kind of curses Fujiwara Akimitsu wanted.

If you don't want others to notice the problem, you have to find a way to get the spell and other information about the curse from Yuan Neng.

The three of them returned to the courtyard.

"We must be prepared to fail."

Yuan Neng said in a solemn tone.

"Teacher, are you talking about Abe no Seimei?"

Miao Yan looked unconvinced and said, "He's just famous; we're not necessarily inferior to him."
