As a result, the Abe family split in two.
Abe in white, Mimon in black.
Thus, the family split in two and gradually disappeared into the past, secretly collecting monsters in an attempt to resurrect their ancestors.
Although they were not active on the historical stage, their strength should not be underestimated.
Because these people are all descendants of Abe no Seimei.
When Abe no Seimei was alive, he held the Taizan Fukun Festival, so successive heads of state have lived forever because of this ceremony.
Over a thousand years, the strength of these two families has greatly increased.
Moreover, the Abe family has not completely disappeared from the historical stage.
As mentioned before, only the rulers of each dynasty can live forever.
What about people who cannot live forever?
He was then dismissed by Abe no Yoshihira and continued to be active in history, but at this time, this lineage was not active as Abe or Mikadoin.
Instead, he adopted a completely new surname.
Tsuchimikado.
Although no one in this family is immortal, it was once very prosperous and produced many geniuses who were extremely famous.
One of them was a guy named Tsuchimikado Yoru.
In terms of both ability and talent, he rivaled Abe no Seimei in his prime.
Even Abe Yoshihira was tempted and wanted to bring him into the Abe family, bestowing upon him the Abe surname and passing on the position of head of the family to Tsuchimikado Yoru.
May he live forever.
Unfortunately, Tsuchimikado Yoru was too talented, but also too arrogant.
Because he could achieve immortality without joining the Abe family, he did so by re-holding the Taishanfu 013 Jun Festival.
Unfortunately, Tsuchimikado Yoru underestimated the Taisan Fujun Festival.
A minor mishap occurred during the event.
It was neither a success nor a failure.
Instead, it preserved the opportunity for reincarnation.
This left Abe no less disappointed, but not disappointed, because Tsuchimikado Yoko was successfully reincarnated.
This made him look forward to the scene after Tsuchimikado Yoru's reincarnation returned; perhaps he could reach an even higher level.
Uh, that’s getting off topic.
In short, Abe no Yoshihira tried many methods in an attempt to revive Abe no Seimei.
Capturing the monster is the most important part.
Since the two sides separated, both Abe and Mikadoin have been acting in secret.
Through their efforts, Abe no Seimei gradually grew stronger from a remnant soul, but he never regained consciousness.
So the group had no choice but to continue their mission, capturing more monsters to nourish the remnant soul of Abe no Seimei.
Time thus moved on to the Warring States period.
At this moment, the origin of the Dark Martial Arts Tournament was born.
A group of monsters were fighting in front of the tomb of a supposedly dead god of wisdom, which caught the attention of the head of the Mikadoin clan who was traveling outside.
He observed that this group of monsters came here to fight every year, and some of them were powerful monsters. So, he had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.
139. The Contaminated Abe no Seimei
After returning home, the head of the Mikadoin clan told Abe no Yoshihira about the matter and shared his thoughts.
Since the monsters love fighting so much, why don't they just hold a martial arts tournament?
They invited all the monsters and even extraordinary people in the world to participate.
There were no rules for this conference.
The winner lives, the loser dies.
The winner of the martial arts tournament can obtain great honor.
As for the monster that died, it can be turned into nourishment and offered to Lord Abe no Seimei.
In this way, they wouldn't have to go around collecting monsters, fighting them, and wasting so many of their descendants' lives.
Abe Yoshihira thought the idea was good, and after a series of preparations, he held the first formal martial arts tournament.
Because the martial arts tournament had no rules, the first tournament was extremely brutal.
The number of dead monsters was countless.
Therefore, it is also known as the Dark Martial Arts Tournament.
However, this martial arts tournament also allowed Abe no Kihei and his companions to obtain a massive amount of monster flesh, blood, and remnant souls, which they used to nourish Abe no Seimei.
However, by the second year, there were far fewer monsters participating in the martial arts tournament.
Abe Yoshihira found that he had not yet recovered from that brutal conference.
Therefore, adjustments were immediately made, changing the Dark Martial Arts Tournament to be held every three years.
Meanwhile, in order to attract monsters to participate in the next tournament, Abe no Yoshihira also spread the word that he could grant the winner one request.
In order to prove that what he said was true.
At the third Dark Martial Arts Tournament, Abe no Yorihira even sent a yokai to participate in the competition, won the competition, and staged a scene to fulfill his promise.
This convinced many simple-minded monsters of the organizers' sincerity.
Thus, many more monsters participated in the fourth Dark Martial Arts Tournament.
The original monsters participated in the competition alone.
But as time went by, more and more powerful monsters appeared, eventually attracting even more monsters.
Yoshihira Abe turned the Dark Tournament into a team competition.
Later, many lesser monsters also joined this dark martial arts tournament in groups, which lowered the level of the battle.
More importantly, even if these little monsters died in battle, they wouldn't be able to bring Abe no Seimei much benefit.
Therefore, Abe Yoshihira had to conduct an evaluation for each team participating in the competition.
Only teams that pass the assessment can participate in the official competition.
And so, over hundreds of years, the Dark Martial Arts Tournament gradually evolved into its current scale.
Meanwhile, Abe no Seimei's remnant soul, nourished by the flesh and blood and demonic energy of countless powerful yokai, grew stronger and stronger, gradually returning to its former level.
During this period, Abe no Seimei regained consciousness several times.
But each time he wakes up, he falls into a coma again not long afterward.
The reason for this is, of course, that his remnant soul has not yet fully recovered.
However, even though he had only been awake for a short time, Abe no Seimei still brought Abe no Yoshihira quite a surprise.
For example, this secret place was found by Abe no Yoshihira, who was guided by Abe no Seimei.
After the previous Dark Martial Arts Tournament, Abe no Seimei finally fully recovered and awoke from his coma.
This delighted Abe Yoshihira.
But Abe Yoshihira soon discovered that his father's awakening was not a good thing.
Because the current Abe no Seimei is merely a soul, without the protection of a physical body, he is unable to leave the secret realm.
Once you leave this secret realm, you will be led to hell.
This resurrection is not complete at all.
So, the father and son discussed it and decided to continue holding a dark martial arts tournament, letting the monsters fight to the death.
Ultimately, using the flesh and blood of the monsters that died in battle, Abe no Seimei was given a new body.
After forcibly reading Abe Yoshihira's memories, Luo Wei's eyes flickered. He raised his hand and erased the memory of Abe Yoshihira while he was unconscious. After waking him up, he quietly left.
At this time, Abe no Yoshihira had no idea that his memories had been tampered with.
The memory remains vivid of the scene when Toguro had just left.
Lovi returned to Minamoto no Yorimitsu's residence and found him just as he was about to go to bed.
"I have a question for you."
"what?"
Minamoto no Yorimitsu changed into a nightgown, revealing his graceful figure to Lovi without feeling shy at all.
After all, the two had been intimate, so what did a little bit of exposure matter?
"What kind of person is Abe no Seimei in your impression?" Luo Wei asked.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu was somewhat surprised and didn't understand why Luo Wei suddenly asked about Abe no Seimei.
She recalled her past experiences and said, "Lord Seimei was a very gentle person with a strong sense of justice. He was a very noble Onmyoji."
"Most of the Onmyoji I've met are very arrogant. Once they've gained some power, they think they're superior to others."
"Only Lord Seimei, who was clearly more powerful than any other Onmyoji, was more humble than any other Onmyoji."
"I have never seen anyone like Lord Seimei."
Luo Wei was also somewhat surprised, not expecting Minamoto no Yorimitsu to have such a high opinion of Abe no Seimei.
He said, "Then let me ask you, if Abe no Seimei's resurrection requires a large amount of yokai flesh and souls as a foundation, do you think Abe no Seimei would do that?"
"will not."
Without hesitation, Minamoto no Yorimitsu answered, "Lord Seimei was indifferent to life and death. Even if he were dead, he would not wish to be resurrected in this way. Boss, what do you mean by asking me this?"
Without hesitation, Luo Wei briefly recounted how he had read memories from Abe no Yoshihira's mind.
After hearing this, Minamoto no Yorimitsu wore an expression of disbelief.
The mastermind behind the Dark Martial Arts Tournament was none other than Abe no Yoshihira, the son of Abe no Seimei.
Moreover, Abe no Seimei actually planned to revive himself in this way.
This is just too unbelievable.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Luo Wei asked, "What do you think about this?"
Minamoto no Yorimitsu said slowly, "I feel that person is not like Lord Seimei. The Lord Seimei I know would never agree with Abe no Yoshihira's actions."
Luo Wei said, "Is it possible that Abe no Seimei died once, which changed his mindset?"
Minamoto no Yorimitsu shook his head and said decisively, "Someone like Lord Seimei, even if he died a hundred times, would not change, let alone once."
"Having long since attained enlightenment, I will not be easily swayed by external things, not even life or death."
Luo Wei sighed and said, "If that's the case, then there's only one answer."
Minamoto no Yorimitsu quickly asked, "What?"
Luo Wei said, "The Abe no Seimei you know has been corrupted."
140. What's wrong with a child wanting to save his father?
pollute?
Minamoto no Yorimitsu was completely bewildered, not understanding what Luo Wei meant by those words.
Why say that Abe no Seimei was corrupted?
Luo Wei knew that Minamoto no Yorimitsu was a military commander in his lifetime. He was not completely ignorant about magic, but he only had a superficial understanding of it.
He then explained, "Abe no Seimei burned all his power to perish together with Tamamo-no-Mae."
