Chapter Two Hundred and Eighty Eighth: The Wife of the Bride and the Young Yiji
In the quiet night, only the crows were chirping. Even in this era without weirdness, the desolation outside the city seemed not much better.
According to Yin Wa's speculation, it is now 980 AD, which is the post-Heian era, and nearly two hundred years have passed since the death of Yamata no Orochi. However, looking at the scene outside the city, it seems that there are not as many people as there were in Izumo Kingdom.

A gust of wind blew up, causing the leaves to rustle.
The lights were on inside the house, but there was no response after Levi knocked on the door.
The surrounding silence was eerie, and this small fishing village seemed to be inhabited from a distance. There were also workshops for curing and smoking fish, as well as bamboo sticks for hanging dried fish.
At this moment, the tracking technique began to emit red light again.
Although this skill from the witcher is only C-level, it is Levi's only perception ability. And so far, there may be people who are deeply hidden that cannot be sensed by the tracking skill, but as long as the tracking skill lights up
Yes, there must be a monster.
The sense of smell of a witcher is more sensitive than that of a dog.
"Squeak."
The shabby wooden door opened, and a beautiful woman in linen clothes held a candle and opened the door for Li Wei.
"Sir, my daughter was taking a rest just now, so she was a little slow to open the door. Please forgive me." The woman gave a slight salute, and the linen clothes on her shoulders slipped slightly, revealing her white collarbones and alluring
arc of.
It's as if this behavior is intentional.
Levi's right eye twitched. He walked around the woman and looked into the house. The furnishings in the house were very simple, with straw mats on the floor, an ancient wooden loom placed in the house, and some
Linen is shaped on this wooden loom.
In addition to these, clothes of a man, probably a wife, were also found in the house.
It seems that if the red light of the tracking technique is ignored, she may be a virtuous country woman who manages the family.
"Sorry to disturb you, madam. To avoid suspicion, I will go to another house to rest first." Levi lowered his head slightly and was about to close the door and leave. He saw the beautiful lady's hands, which had no calluses or stains, and were white and ruddy.
.
"Sir, most of the other men in the village have taken their smoked rice to Nara to sell. Now that every house is closed, it must be very troublesome for you." She tilted her head slightly and smiled.
, "It's a humble house, but please come in and rest for a night."
"Well, that's too disturbing." Levi nodded slightly again, walked into the room, and found a straw mat to sit down on.
In the center of the house was a fire. Levi sat here and began to stare at the fire.
"Please use it slowly, it's just tea grass from the countryside." The woman took out a bamboo cup and handed it to Li Wei, with a very charming smile. The linen clothes on her shoulders seemed to have slipped a little more, and most of them were already exposed.
"Madam, how far is this mountain village from Nara?" Li Wei took the bamboo cup she handed over, took a sip, and then placed it next to the fire.
"This place is in the southwest of Nara, almost to Osakahara, about half a hundred miles away from Nara." The woman chuckled and slowly knelt down next to Levi.
Levi did not look at her at all, but was a little stunned. He seemed to have gone in the wrong direction. Kyoto itself is geographically located in a basin. Going down from the southeast of Kyoto is the Nara Basin, and to the southwest is Osakahara and the Seto Inland Sea.
.
In the era of the main world, Osakahara and the Nara Basin were both within the scope of Nara Castle. However, in this era, it seems that Osakahara has not yet been built as a city, and it is not even connected to Nara.
In this era, Nara Castle was only in the Nara Basin, so Levi was equivalent to walking through Nara Castle and almost approaching the Seto Inland Sea.
"Then you live alone? Your husband..." Levi asked with a hint of confusion. He saw several dried fish hanging on the wall and a dried lizard skin, which seemed to be used as medicine.
That kind of.
"Yes, I live here alone now. Akutagawa has been dead for a year and he has not left any children..." The woman said softly, seeming to recall her husband.
Then she looked at Levi, the linen clothes on her shoulders slipped off, and most of the beautiful things were exposed.
"I'm sorry, guest, I didn't treat you well..." She chuckled and stood up, but her foot seemed to trip on the straw mat, and she fell towards Levi while exclaiming.
But Li Wei dodged away calmly, seemingly just going to get the herbal tea that had just been placed by the fire.
"Yeah..." She leaned lightly on the ground. From this angle, her body was completely exposed, and there was a vacuum.
"Madam, I'm just taking a short break for the night, please respect yourself." Levi took another sip of tea and said softly.
"I'm sorry, guest, I'm just used to living alone, so I didn't think carefully about it." The woman stood up and pulled up Mai, gently flipping her hair, "After all, Akutagawa has been dead for a year..."
Then, silence came, and she bowed slightly and left.
After a long time, a female voice came from the side room: "Guest, the room is ready. You can come in and rest."
"OK."
The night was deep, and thin clouds and mist shrouded the mountains.
Levi curled up on the bed in his room without saying a word. The sound of the loom's clicking and the sound of flax fibers seeming to be woven into thin ropes could be heard from outside the door.
As for Levi in the room, a fire man with lava flowing appeared in front of him, a stand-in and a fanatical art.
The substitute slowly opened the window and slipped out.
Fanatic Art can leave the main body within a range of up to 50 meters, and Levi only needs to explore a range of about fifty meters.
The whole mountain was very quiet. Fanatic Art seemed to have come to the nearest house and opened the door. There were signs of someone living inside, but no one was seen.
It seems that just as Mrs. Yishuang said, the whole village took the dried fish to Nara to sell it.
When I returned to the house, there was a firelight and the sound of the loom was spinning.
At this moment, from the stand-in's perspective, he saw a man wearing a cloak walking in front of another slightly larger house. The wooden house was the largest in the small fishing village and should be similar to the village chief's house.
But that place is too far away from here, beyond the range of the substitute.
With a "squeak" sound, Levi's door was slowly opened, and a figure walked up to Levi, stretching out his slender white hand.
"Qiang!"
In an instant, Tian Yu Yu Zhan was unsheathed, and the white arm was quickly cut off. Blood was sprinkled on Li Wei's face. The moonlight filtered through the window, and his face was cold.
"Ahhhh!" screamed, but Levi grabbed her neck in an instant and lifted her up.
"Even if you don't rely on tracking skills, you have exposed yourself. Nara has become a big country for Shuten Doji for a year. How can anyone go there to sell dried fish now? In other words, they basically make a living by trading with Nara.
You actually don’t even know that Nara has fallen?”
Li Wei originally didn't intend to take action. Even if it was a demon, as long as he didn't attack him, he wouldn't have murderous intentions. However, this bold demon didn't know the heights of the world and didn't take him seriously at all. He would only take advantage of this inferiority.
The temptation tried to disrupt his concentration.
"You are a moving piece of rotten meat, aren't you?" Levi's hands were so strong that he seemed to almost crush her neck.
However, the woman in front of him suddenly sprouted several pairs of eyes, and spider legs began to break out from behind, seeming to attack Levi.
"The new woman?" Li Wei was very surprised. He never noticed that this woman was actually another new woman with blue stripes all over her body.
In such surprise, his hand loosened, and Luo Bride broke free from his sharp claws, climbed up to the rafter, and kept coughing.
"No, I have no ill intentions... I have no intention of eating you... Onmyoji-sama..." she told, as if she didn't expect that Levi had such a powerful force.
In this era, there is no concept of "samurai", except that swordsmen are onmyojis, and there is no dividing line between the two. Onmyojis know a few swordsmanship, and some swordsmen can also perform simple spells, and she
It seems that Li Wei is an onmyoji.
"Ha." Li Wei himself did not kill her on the spot for the sake of her being a member of the Luo Xinwive clan, but he was still vigilant.
"Master Onmyoji, I am willing to be your shikigami. I did not lie. Everything before was true. I married a human. Unfortunately, he died a year ago. I can only live alone."
..." She said, with a hint of sadness in her voice,
"I am just a relic. If you don't mind, I am willing to give my body and strength to fight for you." She said, as if she was praying.
At this time, Fanatic Art returned to the room and directly told Li Wei everything he saw.
Behind the house, there is a deep pit with dozens of bones inside, including men, women, old and young, and some cocoons wrapped in spider silk.
"Alas..." Li Wei sighed. To be honest, maybe he was in love with Wujiwu, and he didn't want to do anything to the other brides.
"Sir... I am willing to become your shikigami..."
"Actually, everyone in this village has been eaten by you, right? Including your husband who doesn't know the truth?" Li Wei put Tian Yu Yu Zhan back into the scabbard and looked up at her.
"No...that's not the case..."
"Forget it, it was only two hundred years ago anyway, not my era." Li Wei stopped and prepared to leave.
Now he is no longer pure. After experiencing so many worlds and having a family, he has gradually hidden the fierceness and sharpness he once had.
This was the first time that he chose to let go of a man-eating monster. Even Yiji, he chose to kill.
He slowly turned his back and came to the window, as if preparing to leave, while the stand-in Frenzy Art kept standing beside him, no one could see him.
However, the moment Li Wei turned his back, sharp fangs struck from the beams.
"Eula!"
An extremely fierce punch was thrown out, and the fist of the fanatical art that had evolved once was stamped hard on the face of the spider with unparalleled wind pressure. Then there was an explosion, and the flames ignited the wood very quickly and spread to the entire
Thatched hut.
"I gave you a chance." Levi murmured in a low voice, preparing to leave.
The moonlight tonight seems to be mostly covered by dark clouds, which is very ugly.
"Who?" Another female voice sounded, just in the direction of the village chief's wooden house. Even though the voice was very small, and covered by the flames that ignited the entire thatched house, Levi's keen hearing could still hear it.
At this moment, the space where Levi was was directly distorted, and he jumped into a different space.
And the art of stand-in fanaticism is still here, standing on top of this thatched house that is now burning.
At the moment when Li Wei escaped into a different space, a beautiful figure jumped out of the wooden house of the village chief's house and came to the front of the fire.
But the moment he saw this figure, even the stand-in Frenzy Art froze in the flames and opened his mouth slightly.
She was dressed in a luxurious outfit and had a faint fox beard on her face. She was just young, too young, but even so, the stand-in recognized her at the first sight.
The person standing in front of the flames with a frown was none other than Yi Ji, who looked about eighteen years old as a human.
In the Izumo Kingdom era, Yoshie was only a little girl of about seven years old even if she transformed. However, in the main world, her appearance and temperament are closer to those of about thirty years old.
And now she happens to be eighteen years old...
At this time, she frowned and looked at the blazing fire. She seemed to think of some bad memories all of a sudden. And she didn't need to look at it anymore. She knew that the New Lady who had just been conquered today had died in the flames.
middle.
Damn it, that idiot, would he be killed even if he took it upon himself to seduce a lost Onmyoji? She suddenly doubted her vision, why the first subordinate she subdued was such an idiot.
And that Onmyoji, has he escaped?
She sensed her surroundings, but except for this fire source, she didn't feel any human breath.
"Yin Yi, it seems you have failed." A figure in black robe slowly walked out of the darkness. Her whole body was shrouded in a thick black robe. On Weiyuan's side, she seemed to be an Arab.
Same.
"Don't call me that, bitch." Yi Ji replied angrily, and it was obvious that she was in a bad mood.
The woman in black robe was not angry, but her body slowly returned to the darkness: "Then you continue with your plan. Tian Congyun's sword tip has been delivered to your hands. In addition, the news about the divine blood and Budu Yuhun will be announced in a few days.
You will naturally find Nara Oeyama in the future.”
"Go away, Biaozi!" Yiji seemed to be at her craziest and most irritable at this age. There was no room in her words, and she was willing to offend her to death.
Then, she looked at the burning thatched hut, spat, and decided to catch the onmyoji. Since she dared to kill her, she should be prepared to be killed by her.
Similarly, she thought that the new woman who had already lived among humans was unreliable, so she would try to conquer another new woman who could do things for her. This time, she would find a young and potential one, not someone who would be happy after getting married.
All that is left in her mind is scraps and men’s wives.
After doing this, she began to rush out, preparing to find the Onmyoji who dared to set fire.
After her figure disappeared far away, the space gradually became distorted, and Li Wei came out of the different space with a complicated expression.
"Xiaoyi..."
He raised his head and looked at the moon, then slowly took out a spiral mask and put it on his face.
