Chapter 116 Demons and sprites 2
Long live Yaqi-sama?
Shen Yan stepped forward to check again expressionlessly, and after confirming that the opponent was really dead, he let go of the hilt of the sword in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he raised his eyes and glanced at the group of trembling onmyojis who were fierce on the outside and shivering on the inside, and turned around. But looking at that, it was the most calm servant among the group: "Which family does he belong to?"
"Master Hui Tianyu, this is Lord Yizhou's residence."
Shen Yan was not surprised by this answer, after all, there are only a few people in Heian capital who dare to be enemies with Fujiwara Doozun, and among them, the enmity between Fujiwara Yizhou and him is the most difficult to resolve.
Although the mastermind behind all the crimes has not been found, the culprit who committed the evil deeds has committed suicide, and the grievances entangled in the little paper man have disappeared with the death of the other party, so Shen Yan made a divination to confirm After being unable to get any inspiration from the existing clues, he took Yuan Laiyuan and left.
The onmyojis of the Fujiwara clan who were frightened by the death of their colleagues naturally did not dare to obstruct them, but Shen Yan went so far as to know what to do and even killed an onmyoji from the family of a political opponent. He showed no hostility, and sent them out respectfully.
After a polite farewell, it was almost noon.Looking up at the sun, Shen Yan couldn't help frowning slightly, even though he no longer needed to sleep, but such a busy day and night still gave him the illusion that he would die suddenly, and... Shen Yan lowered his eyes slightly, although just now No blood was seen, but the breath of death still made him feel entangled by the smell of blood, which was really a bad feeling.
But what was even worse was that although [his] death calmed down the anger in his heart, it even aroused his desire to win and lose.It seemed that he cared more about winning or losing with the mastermind behind this matter than the lives involved in this matter.
Is this the desire to win?
Shen Yan couldn't help but cast his gaze on the synchronization rate of the system——[Current synchronization rate: 70.00%]
Shen Yan has to admit that he is not good at acting in this world, and even the system is often forgotten by him. Perhaps the peaceful life in the previous world gave him enough illusions, but it is undeniable that part of it is also because of his intuition cause trouble.For him in this world, the most important thing is not to act, but to maintain his own heart as a human being. Synchronization rate seems to be stable and has no influence, but in fact its influence is everywhere and infinite. Sometimes.
Shen Yan's eyes could not help falling on Yuan Laiyuan, who has been following him relentlessly since just now. The easiest way to maintain his sensibility is to give himself a bond and a spiritual sustenance. In this regard, Yuan Laiyuan has a natural advantage that ordinary people do not have.As long as he turns Yuan Laiyuan into an existence that is as meaningful to him as Ye Ying, he is confident that the synchronization rate that has exceeded the standard can be reduced again.
But... Shen Yan sneered, suppressing the wavering in his heart, he would not be fooled by this way of quenching thirst with poison. Instead of praying for spiritual comfort from others, he should think about how to strengthen his spirit.What kind of divinity, in the final analysis, is nothing more than excessive rationality, and both rationality and sensibility are indispensable to human emotions, and all he has to do is to balance his emotions, only then he is himself.
Gathering his chaotic thoughts, Shen Yan looked at Yuan Laiyuan: "Tsk, don't think about it." Although he was thinking about it just now, he said this without any guilt, after all, what he was thinking about was about life and death. It is a big event, but someone is thinking about things that obviously lack the brains they should have.
"Ah? Yes!" Yuan Laiyuan suddenly came back to his senses, and he was stunned for three or four seconds before realizing that Shen Yan was talking to him.Although he responded happily, the human mind is the most difficult thing to control. Not everyone can grasp the changes in their mentality as accurately as Shen Yan and make corresponding and effective adjustments.
So Minamoto Laiyuan couldn't help but asked in confusion after being stunned: "What the onmyoji said just now..."
"That's not important." Shen Yan replied without turning his head.
Yuan Laiyuan couldn't help being stunned, and immediately took two steps to catch up and asked: "Why? If it is true what he said, all this is a blood sacrifice for Yamata no Orochi, then wouldn't he be very dangerous? ? Aren't you assessing his danger? How can it be unimportant..."
"This has nothing to do with you." Shen Yan suddenly stopped and turned around, looked at Yuan Laiyuan and said seriously: "Muen Laiyuan, listen clearly, all of this, whether it is the death of the fox demon or the death of the onmyoji just now, has nothing to do with you , it has nothing to do with Yamata no Orochi. Don't take yourself too seriously, and besides, you are just afraid of responsibility."
Yuan Laiyuan's breathing couldn't help but stagnate, he was afraid...responsibility?Through the reflection in Shen Yan's pupils, he seemed to see his eager, flustered and ridiculous expression.
Yes, he was panicking and terrified.He is afraid that all of this is a conspiracy by Yamata no Orochi, and as the medium of his coming into the world, he is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of the disaster caused by his exposure.Because, if the cause of all this is because of him, the deaths of those people and demons will all become his crimes!
That would be a burden he couldn't bear - the lives of others really made him breathless.
"Besides, don't you know how to use your brain?" Shen Yan's voice suddenly awakened Minamoto Raiyuan, who seemed to be in a nightmare. It is impossible for Genji, who sacrificed to Yaqi, to let you survive. After all, you were once a sacrifice."
Yes, if Yamata no Orochi needs a blood sacrifice, how could he who was once sacrificed to Yata no Orochi survive to this day?After all, Yuan Laiyuan thinks that he is not a special person. If Yamata no Orochi wants to descend, there are absolutely countless sacrifices to choose from, and the only special thing about him is that he met Shen Yan, a nobleman. , and before meeting Shen Yan, he had already been a sacrifice for more than ten years.Therefore, Yamata no Orochi had no reason to let go of his mouth-to-mouth sacrifice more than ten years ago.
So the only explanation is that the blood sacrifice was not requested by Yamata no Orochi, but offered by the onmyoji and the onmyoji behind him.
In fact, this is also the difference between evil gods and righteous gods. The reason why evil gods are evil gods is that they do not refuse all sacrifices and sacrifices, and then respond according to their own mood.The sacrifices and sacrifices enjoyed by the righteous gods are all standardized. Although it is still up to the gods to respond or not, if they do not follow the rules, they will inevitably be angered by the gods.
Therefore, Yamata no Orochi is just a cover, and those who are really guilty are those who have committed unforgivable sins in the name of Yamata no Orochi.
"Although the sacrifices and rewards in the sacrifices are not necessarily proportional, but the sacrifices that require blood sacrifices as sacrifices must not be simple." Yuan Laiyuan quickly realized after being awakened.
"So you should pray that the evil god they worship is indeed Yamata no Orochi." Minamoto Yoriyo couldn't help being taken aback by Shen Yan's answer, yes, there is a contract between Yamata no Orochi and Shen Yan, if the evil god they worship is Yamata no Orochi In other words, it would be easier for Shen Yan to obtain information about the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, for Yamata no Orochi, the power in the world is far less important than that of a powerful onmyoji like Shen Yan.
However, although Shen Yan said so, the feelings in his heart are really hard to express. In terms of his sense of justice and his unknown favor for Yamata no Orochi, he does not want Yamata no Orochi to participate in this matter ; But the fact is that if the source of this matter is Yamata no Orochi, everything will develop in a direction that is beneficial to him...
Just when Shen Yan was struggling, the other party had already given him the answer: "The one they sacrificed is indeed me."
Shen Yan paused, turned his head and saw that Yuan Laiyuan's eyes had been soaked in purple at some point. Although his appearance and his answer were abrupt, it was not surprising to Shen Yan.Shen Yan was silent for a second, then turned around, and continued to walk back, while saying: "Let's talk when we go back."
Yamata no Orochi couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "What? Don't you want to know the culprit of all this now? If you let it go, they might escape~"
"They won't." Shen Yan replied firmly: "No matter what Fujiwara Yizhou's goal is, peace in Kyoto is his ultimate goal." Get up from wherever you fall. I have to say that although the Fujiwara family is a relative, But the arrogance and strength of the men are not weaker than others.
"Are you so sure it's Fujiwara Ishu?" Yamata no Orochi was puzzled. Generally speaking, shouldn't everyone consider the possibility of blaming him first?Shen Yan is willing to defend him, but why is he so sure about Fujiwara Yishu's crime?
"Because of people's hearts." Shen Yan sighed softly, and explained in a low voice: "Michijo Fujiwara's power is at the height of his power, he can't use this kind of excuse to deal with Fujiwara Yizhou, but Fujiwara Yizhou is different, after all he Now that he is not in the capital, even if he is discovered, it can be argued that Fujiwara Michizane blamed him, and besides...Fujiwara Ishu was banished from Beijing for one of the crimes—cursing Higashi Sanjoin."
Although this is not self-defeating, it is also a very common mentality-since you have charged me with an unwarranted crime, then I will make you pay the price for this crime.Naturally, Fujiwara Yizhou would not point the finger of revenge at his aunt Higashi Sanjoin, so this hatred would naturally take revenge on the political enemy Fujiwara Michizane who sent him out of Kyoto on the charge of weaving.
However, after much deliberation, Shen Yan couldn't think of any reason for them to use such an extreme method as blood sacrifice.After all, unlike those wild evil gods who would rather bear sins and enjoy blood, powerful evil gods such as Yamata no Orochi actually taboo blood sacrifices, because blood sacrifices are different from other sacrifices. If he accepts it, he must give a corresponding return.
And this reward obviously needs to be worthy of the price of those blood sacrifices - that is not an easy price to pay.
The two of them returned to Abe's mansion unknowingly in silence.The Abe mansion during the day is obviously much quieter than at night, and with Abe Seimei not at the mansion, it also reveals a third of the desolation and loneliness of the past.
However, at the moment when the gate of the courtyard closed and the barrier closed, the truth that Yamata no Orochi spit out made Shen Yan completely disregarded the sadness: "It's resurrection and eternal life~ Heavenly Yu Yu Zhandian, you still underestimated the greed of human beings!" and arrogance~"
