Priest Hanyu thought of his daughter's cute face and smiled warmly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Igarashi. It's getting late. Do you want to go back or stay at the shrine?"

Igarashi Kiyomi shook his head slowly.

"Thank you for your kindness. I want to go back to the dormitory."

After saying that, he left without saying hello or goodbye.

Priest Hanyu seemed to be accustomed to the behavior of this expressionless boy. He did not take it as an offense and just strolled towards the back hall of the shrine.

About half an hour later, in a remote, deserted alley in Kamigyo District, Igarashi Kiyomi was facing the wall, muttering to himself.

"The mind is clear and the eyes are bright, the law cannot hide me, hurry up and obey the command, open!"

After chanting a spell, he took a step forward and was sucked into the wall in front of him as if he was dissolving in water.

There is a different world inside.

At the front is a wooden door, which looks a bit like the torii gate at a shrine, but with some subtle differences.

There are three Chinese characters written on it.

"Onmyoji"

The common name of this place in the outside world is "Heian-kyo", the gathering place of Kyoto's Onmyoji.

What you see are Japanese palaces with a very classical flavor, which seem like two different worlds from the outside world.

After walking through the long corridor and dealing with the greetings from many Kari Onmyojis passing by, Igarashi Kiyomi grabbed someone and asked him a question.

"Is Senior Brother back? Where is he now?"

The Onmyoji he caught was very respectful to Igarashi Kiyomi and bowed very formally.

"Lord Igarashi, Lord Tsuchimikado just returned to the dormitory not long ago and should be at the observatory now."

After getting the answer he wanted, Igarashi Kiyomi nodded, walked through the winding path, and headed straight for the "Observatory".

Igarashi Kiyomi pushed the door of an ancient platform that looked to be more than ten meters high, walked in, walked up the spiral staircase, and came to a circular, somewhat spacious open-air platform.

There is nothing here, but when you look up you can see the starry sky.

The young man in white clothes accompanying Qinglong was leaning against the wall, holding a wine jug, drinking by himself.

When Igarashi Kiyomi saw the young man in white, his eyes finally showed some emotional ups and downs.

He walked over and looked down at the young boy with a childish look.

"Brother, I'm back."

"."

"I saw him."

The young man in white took a sip of wine and looked up with drunken eyes.

"Oh, Guiya is back."

"Why don't you continue your Genji plan?"

"Also, don't talk like those charlatans. What do you mean by I saw him? Just say his name."

Igarashi Kiyomi remained calm and only uttered three words.

"Can't say."

After hearing this, the young man in white became a little more energetic. He glanced at Igarashi Kiyomi and a thoughtful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Can't tell?"

"Ha I know who you met."

"A few hours ago, the Vermillion Bird of the Four Spirits was startled and scared away. I was wondering at the time whether that person had returned."

"I went to the scene to check it out, and I ran into the great general of Genji. We had a brief encounter, and then I ran away."

"And you actually ran into that person? Where? Yoshida Shrine?"

"Why is he going there? He is a well-known godless person. The number of gods who fell at his hands was more than two dozen. He is a top-notch killer in the world. Otherwise, he would not be favored by the spirit of the white tiger."

"Don't tell me he went to visit the shrine. I'd rather believe that the world is going to be destroyed than that."

The young man in white said a lot of words, but in return he only got a few words.

"He's going to investigate a case."

The young man in white narrowed his eyes, his expression understanding.

"The most recent major incident in Kyoto was that people from the Collectibles Association were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties. Is he here for this matter?"

"Tsk, so he's been hanging out with those kids. He's getting worse and worse. I'll make fun of him next time we meet."

Igarashi Kiyomi seemed tired of the white-clothed boy's talkativeness and interrupted him directly.

"And the Lord of the Hundred Tales is also with him."

"They are very dangerous."

"Do you want to monitor?"

The young man in white glanced at Igarashi Kiyomi with a somewhat exaggerated expression.

"Are you kidding me, my good junior brother? Why did you go and provoke them?"

"Weren't those two people the ruthless and feared characters?"

"Like a madman, he faced the extraordinary power of half of Heian-kyō all by himself. In the end, he was defeated and died, but he took countless people with him. His enemies suffered heavy losses."

"A man who died and became insane cannot be judged by common sense at all."

"You were also a spectator in that final battle."

"You also saw that after the Lord of the Hundred Demons died, his soul was scattered, he was stripped of his [name], and was abandoned by this world."

"That woman went straight crazy."

"The green lanterns are lit up in the darkness, the gates of the underworld are wide open, ghost fires cover the sky and the sun, the green-robed ghost king commands the dead souls of hell, and his arrogance is unparalleled."

"Five of the seven gods who attacked him were crippled, and the remaining two were burned to ashes. Faith collapsed, divine authority was dispersed, and he almost died."

"In the end, she just held the body of the Lord of the Hundred Demons, whose soul had already died, and left Heian-kyo step by step."

"No one in heaven or on earth dares to stop me, and anyone who stands in my way will become a skeleton."

"As for this pair of male and female evil spirits, I would have avoided them as far as possible. Why are you rushing towards them?"

"I'm telling you, if you piss those two off, even Senior Brother can't protect you, so you better take care of yourself."

Although the young man in white was sarcastic, his stance was still very clear.

Igarashi Kiyomi remained silent.

But his senior brother seems to be a chatterbox.

"Hey, you really know how to pick the time."

"The boundary between dreams and reality is already precarious due to the spiritual power tide that cycles for five hundred years."

"Ghosts and gods covet the human world, outer gods stand outside the world looking for opportunities, demons appear frequently, and the frequency of extraordinary people awakening has also greatly increased."

"This is a time of turmoil, and it is a good opportunity for him to make a comeback."

"Hmph, Gui Mi, don't mess with him. Even if he doesn't care, the women around him are all petty people."

"We are not enemies. On the contrary, our ultimate goals are almost the same."

"Of course, don't try to take advantage of his power, or you'll end up in trouble."

"Let's do our own thing."

"If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait another 500 years."

"Hey, I'm a lonely man, and five hundred years of suffering is just a blink of an eye. But if you were separated from your little Yuan for another five hundred years, would you go crazy?"

Very rarely, Igarashi Kiyomi's expression fluctuated violently for a moment, and then returned to calm.

He looked deeply at the young man in white and nodded.

"I see."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The young man in white saw Igarashi Kiyomi disappear and did not try to keep him. He just drank his wine.

When the bottle was empty, he sighed softly.

"Humans, supernatural beings, monsters, demons and gods"

"All living beings in this world."

"Who do you think your God loves more?"

Chapter 308 Calling the Boss

By the time Uesugi Kiyoshi returned to his hotel, it had already become completely dark.

Kyoto at night was no less bustling than Tokyo, but he had no time to pay attention.

This trip was very fruitful.

He first went to the hotel's top-floor conference room.

He had advised Akutagawa Ryunosuke to stay here and take charge - well, although he was not needed to guard the association in terms of combat power, he was the president of the association after all, and staying here could also boost morale.

When Uesugi Kiyoshi pushed the door open, he saw Akutagawa Ryunosuke with a frown on his face. He kept typing on his laptop and occasionally tapping on his phone.

He curled his lips, walked over, pulled a chair and sat down.

"I say, Mr. President, can't the injured and sick people take a good rest? Show up and give an inspiring speech. Isn't that what you are good at?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke rolled his eyes in annoyance, glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi, and sighed heavily.

"Who do you think I'm working for here?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi did not respond, but opened his mobile phone first and placed the photo in front of Akutagawa Ryunosuke.
