Chapter 20: The Rout of the Unknown
Abe Masukai, the man whom the white fox is rumored to be attracted to, the legendary Great Onmyoji, and the father of Abe Seimei, the founder of Onmyodo.
And his identity is just a great chef.
Perhaps for many people of that era, this status was good enough, but for Abe Seimei, this status was simply considered a lowly one.
And if you know the origin of his mother Bai Hu, you will feel even more strange, how did she fall in love with such an ordinary person?
You know, Abe Masukai never seemed to have anything special.
Abe Seimei's mother, that white fox, has an identity that everyone envies...
The priest of the Taisha Shrine appointed by Amaterasu Daimikami!
...
"First of all, we must make it clear that demons do not necessarily have a lowly status."
"Especially the many elves who were born and raised, or the fairies who were influenced by the aura of light spirits and the influence of gods, are no different from the origins of many gods."
With the arrival of Ashiya Michimi, it was no less than a new experience for everyone present.
However, this same ancestor of Yin and Yang Dao was an eyewitness to quite a few things. Only with Zhao Fuyu's guesses at his presence can we get more definite evidence.
For example, Zhao Fuyu’s differences in the identity of Abe Seimei’s father.
That...almost unknown Prince Keming!
"And Seimei's mother is such a fairy. She has been favored by Amaterasu and has been the main priest for many years."
Ashiya Michimi's words seemed to hide a lot of information, some things that only he and Abe Seimei understood.
And Zhao Fuyu also heard some other meanings in it.
"So... the technique that Huangquan Naraku used back then was also developed after you learned about this?"
I didn't expect Zhao Fuyu to talk about this. Ashiya Michitoshi was naturally not a good person. He was quite open about this, but he shook his head.
"Although that technique has some connections, I don't need to do such troublesome things just to trace the origin of Shuoyuan Qingming's bloodline."
"Actually, I was researching a brand new topic, although in the end I felt it was meaningless..."
Everyone has their own secrets, so Zhao Fuyu was naturally too lazy to continue asking, but the appearance of Ashiya Michitoshi did give him one more opportunity to prove it, so he continued to talk.
And with Ashiya Michimi's confirmation, it seems that his guess may be close to the truth.
"Speaking of which, Prince Keming is unfamiliar to many people."
"But for another person, it is inseparable from the relationship, and that is... Yuan Boya!"
"Prince Keming is Yuan Boya's biological father!"
In fact, as long as there are legends about Abe Seimei, the figure of this god of music and art is almost indispensable.
Even though there seems to be no record of any intersection between the two in the relevant official history, in fact, the years they lived happened to intersect.
What's more, judging from the information obtained by Zhao Fuyu, the relationship between Minamoto Boya and Abe Seimei was quite deep, but at a certain point in time, both parties seemed to have deliberately diluted this relationship, which could be called a life-or-death relationship.
This paragraph was even erased from the history books.
Now it seems that if the source falls on Abe Seimei's life experience, then everything will be explained.
Ashiya Michimi also saw a lot of things that he had been confused about before.
"If Abe Seimei and Minamoto Boya are from the same family, then many questions will be explained, especially how did the white fox fall in love with a great chef? He fell in love with a prince from the royal family, which is more consistent with the facts."
"You must know that Abe Seimei has always been cautious and cautious about anyone and anything from the time he was born to the time he disappeared. Only when facing Minamoto Boya can he relax for a moment and have no reservations."
"Originally, I thought this was because Yuan Boya's musical instrument skills are close to Taoism, he is pure and passionate, and he has an innocent heart. Now that I think about it...it's much more than these reasons."
The relevant people know each other well, and Ashiya Michitoshi is Abe Seimei's fierce rival. He may know this guy's situation better than anyone else.
So he has always been confused by the existence of Minamoto Boya. His existence is like a toy that has always been by Abe Seimei's side, but Abe Seimei is obviously not a person who will never forget a toy or have such a long-term affection.
Now with the addition of the same father, the closeness to nature is different from ordinary existence, which can explain the connection between the two.
"The white fox gave birth to Seimei, but no matter how noble Prince Katsume's bloodline is, he is just a mortal compared to the chief priest of Amaterasu."
"The combination of the extraordinary and the mundane is like the birth of a demigod."
"Either the future is limited, or one must receive some kind of divine punishment at birth. Someone like Abe Seimei who is so talented that even surpasses his parents' bloodline... is simply a miracle!"
Zhao Fuyu's judgment does not require too precise design and search to come to an expected conclusion.
In order to give birth to Abe Seimei, the white fox must have paid a huge price, even at the cost of keeping Abe Seimei safe!
"In order to create a miracle, willpower, love, and persistence alone are definitely not enough, it requires soil."
"A white fox that is valued by Amaterasu and is like an elf is the best soil!"
"So there seems to be a reason why Qingming is acting now."
Ashiya Michitoshi nodded, and then he mentioned another thing.
"When Seimei became an Onmyoji in the world, there were always rumors of the son of the white fox. However, as he became famous, fewer and fewer people mentioned this name."
"Do you know why?"
Seeing Zhao Fuyu's expression change slightly, Ashiya Michitoshi chuckled.
"Yes, it's what you think."
"Even if the sky is full of gods and Buddhas, they can no longer see what Abe Seimei looks like."
"It's as if the human body has already taken on his true appearance, and even the gods in Gao Tianyuan cannot distinguish his true appearance."
"It was only from that time that the Onmyoji lineage truly established its own extraordinary system. Before that, Onmyojis were just a combination of doctors of astrologers and psychics who had mastered some spells."
"The number of onmyojis, illusions and illusions turning into reality, are all the rules that that guy has determined clearly after becoming an onmyoji."
The famous ancestor of Yin and Yang Dao stood up and seemed to want to leave.
But still all I could hear was his muttering.
"In terms of strength, I may not be even remotely inferior to that guy Qingming, but in terms of attainments in Yin and Yang Dao."
"Although I have achieved something, I am far behind him..."
"That's why I created Harima-ryu and worked hard on spells."
I saw Ashiya Michitoshi knocking the scepter in his hand and suddenly launching a technique.
"Now that the small talk is over, it's time to get down to business."
Seeing a hole opening in front of him, Zhao Fuyu showed a surprised expression.
"New King Zhao Fuyu, emergency situation."
"The development of the unknown land has caused a defeat on the human side. The World Alliance Committee invites you... to participate in the parliament!
