Kaguya Houraisan Comes Clean; An Xiu Turns the Tables / An Xiu's Group Pays Its Respects; A Clash of Yokai Auras over Kyoto

"Now that the battle is over, you might as well go to the Nura Clan's headquarters for a few drinks?"

"No need. Since the purpose of coming here has been achieved, we should head to the next destination."

Faced with Nura Rihan's proposal, An Xiu shook his head and refused.

Originally, they came to the Nura Clan's territory to have a general understanding of the strength of the world's big monsters, and at the same time to gain points from Nura Rihan.

Now that both goals have been successfully achieved, An Xiu naturally has no reason to stay here.

As for eating and resting... With the strength of An Xiu, Meli and Yae Kasumi, these are no longer necessary for them. Besides, in this era of scarcity of various spices and ingredients, does anyone really think that an ordinary restaurant in an ordinary town can make delicious meals and provide a good accommodation environment?

"Is that so? That's fine."

"In this case, in my current state, I won't be far away from sending you all off."

After hearing An Xiu's answer, Nura Rihan nodded.

He was just being polite at first. To be honest, he was quite afraid that the other party would agree and then directly carry him back to the town in this state.

Now that the other party is planning to leave, it is the best result for Nura Rihan. In this way, he does not have to worry about his embarrassing appearance being seen by others.

Just because of the previous battle, there is still a terrifying aura belonging to the big monster on this battlefield. No ordinary monster will dare to approach here for a while. He can rest assured to restore the monster power here, and after recovering a little strength, he can leave quietly, and then find a place to hide.

Anyway, Nura Clan has now wiped out all the monster forces in a large area around him. Even if his leader disappears for a while, there won't be any big trouble.

However, just as Nura Rihan was thinking this and watching An Xiu and the others leaving, racing against time to recover their demon power, a sound suddenly came from a distance.

"It's over there, the scent of the leader fighting other monsters is over there!"

"Oh my God! Is the person lying on the ground the leader?!"

"Master Chief, why are you lying on the ground? Are you feeling sick?"

Hearing the voices of his Nura Clan subordinates in his ears, Nura Rihan sighed and closed his eyes helplessly.

He knew that after tonight, the rumor that the great monster, the leader and general of the Nura Clan, was beaten to his knees by a strange half-demon passing by would probably be unstoppable. In a few months, this news would probably spread to the ears of other monster forces with big monsters in charge.

But speaking of it, the direction the three people left just now seems to be the direction of Kyoto, right?

Recalling the direction in which the An Xiu trio left just now, and the terrifying strength of the half-demon named Xia, Nura Rihan suddenly felt a lot calmer in his heart.

Maybe it won't be long before he is not the only unlucky big monster.

A few days later, near Kyoto.

An Xiu The three of them were walking leisurely on a road leading to Kyoto.

"It's not far from Kyoto. If my perception was correct before, there should be a village nearby."

"If the master is not in a hurry to arrive in Kyoto today, he can rest there for one night."

Just listen to Meli next to An Xiu say.

Since leaving the territory of the Nura Clan a few days ago, the three of An Xiu did not rely on their abilities to rush on the road. Instead, they headed towards Kyoto at a speed only slightly faster than ordinary people, trying to see if they could meet some other plot characters on the way.

It's a pity that this attempt ended in failure. Until now, when they are about to arrive in Kyoto, An Xiu and the three of them have not met any other plot characters.

Is it because the current timeline is too early? If you think about it carefully, in the Heian-kyo era from around 700 AD to 1100 AD, it is estimated that only a few plot characters such as Nura Rihan and Hagoromo Gitsune were active in this era. Inuyasha In the world view, the only plot characters active in this era may be Inu no Taisho and a few characters from the same period. Not to mention the protagonist Inuyasha, Sesshomaru may not have been born yet during this period, let alone female characters like Kikyo.

In other words, the characters in the world view of Gensokyo are better. Except for a few characters that will appear in later generations such as Reimu and Marisa, many characters can exist for more than a thousand years. You can focus on asking about them after you get to Kyoto.

"Let's stay in that village tonight and go to Kyoto tomorrow."

"Just in time, I can take advantage of today to think about my arrangements after arriving in Kyoto."

After deciding on the next itinerary, the three An Xiu immediately walked into a small road and headed towards the village.

However, when passing a nearby bamboo forest along the path, An Xiu, Meli and Yae Kasumi suddenly stopped in unison.

In the bamboo forest not far away, I saw a section of crystal green bamboo like Jade. It was emitting a faint light at the moment, as if attracting people passing by to step forward and open it.

Looking at this scene full of déjà vu, the three An Xiu looked at each other.

I just said that I wanted to focus on asking for information about the characters in the world of Gensokyo. Unexpectedly, I turned around and met the main protagonist, and to some extent, he may be the most famous among all the original characters.

Heian-kyo era, bamboo forest, glowing bamboo, these keywords are combined, plus Gensokyo world view, do you need to think too much about who you are meeting?

Banished from Lunar Capital to the earth for violating a taboo, Japan is the daughter of Tsukuyomi, one of the most noble Three Noble Childrens in mythology, the Princess of the Moon, Kaguya Houraisan.

Even among all the plot characters in the world view of Gensokyo, he can be regarded as a very heavyweight character.

"Master, what are you going to do next? Are you going to open that piece of bamboo?"

Meli, who was standing next to An Xiu, asked.

Hearing this, An Xiu nodded without thinking.

"Of course I want to go."

Since the female characters in the plot have already arrived at your doorstep, how can An Xiu just ignore them?

Even simply gaining points from the other party is a sure-profit deal, not to mention that with Kaguya Houraisan's identity, An Xiu can also use the other party's relationship to connect many original characters in one go.

Apart from anything else, wherever there is a Kaguya Houraisan, a Eirin Yagokoro will be automatically refreshed in a short time. And as long as you get the help of the wise man Eirin Yagokoro, it basically means that most of the plot characters active in this era and the information about the existence of the big monster level will be presented in front of An Xiu.

Chapter 308: Kaguya Houraisan in showdown, An Xiu in rebellion against Tiangang

Walking to the piece of bamboo that exuded a bright light like the moonlight, An Xiu stretched out his hand to touch it. The next second, the piece of bamboo split open on its own, revealing the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Next to the baby, there is also a piece of gold of considerable weight, and a jade plaque with the words 'Kaguya Houraisan' engraved on it. I don't know what kind of Cursed Technique has been applied on it, so that people can understand the meaning of the words at a glance.

"What a pity."

Seeing this scene, An Xiu clicked his tongue, and then took out the infant Kaguya.

Originally, if there was no jade plaque with Kaguya Houraisan's name engraved on it, An Xiu would have wanted to give Kaguya Houraisan some interesting names by virtue of his status as a caregiver and have fun in this way. Unfortunately, Kaguya was obviously prepared for this.

But that's right. After all, let's not mention how it was arranged in the original work of the Taketori Story about Kaguya hime, but Kaguya Houraisan in the world view of Gensokyo was already called this name long before Lunar Capital was exiled.

Under such circumstances, how could Kaguya Houraisan and Eirin Yagokoro, who was responsible for the exile of Kaguya, let people on earth give the Moon Princess a random name? If they had not been deliberately guided through various methods, then the elderly couple who adopted Kaguya in the original story line would not have come up with a name exactly the same as Kaguya's real name.

"Kaguya Houraisan, it doesn't sound like an easy name to support. After all, ordinary civilians in this land only have a single name. Only the royal family and nobles are worthy of having surnames."

Yes, in the Heian-kyo era, or before the modern history of Japan, having a surname itself was a symbol of nobility in this land.

According to normal development, it was not until modern times that Japan allowed ordinary civilians to have a complete surname and first name. Before that, all civilians could only have a single name, and only nobles could give themselves a surname.

Therefore, Kaguya Houraisan had his own vision before, and also had a complete surname and first name. Basically, it can be said that his identity is not simple. In this case, the old couple who were just ordinary people in the original plot dared to adopt Kaguya. It can only be said that they are really brave.

"Let's go."

Although they met Kaguya on the way, An Xiu and the three of them had no intention of changing their itinerary. They still followed the original route and went to a nearby village to stay for one night.

In the evening, in a wooden house on the edge of the village, An Xiu, Meli and Yae Kasumi had a simple dinner, and then turned their attention to the infant Kaguya.

At this time, Kaguya was blinking his eyes and looking at An Xiu. He was neither crying nor fussing, and his pretty face looked extremely cute and cute.

Speaking of which, Hourai Immortal should also need to eat, right? But with Kaguya Houraisan in his current state, is it possible for An Xiu to go to the modern world to buy milk powder for Kaguya to drink?

It seems that he noticed the thoughtful look on An Xiu's face, and saw that under the moonlight, Kaguya Houraisan's young figure suddenly began to change.

I saw that the originally young body began to grow at a slow but visible speed. In just ten minutes, it slowly crossed the infant stage and grew into a girl who looked about nine to ten years old.

As for the swaddle that was originally wrapped in it, it also turned into a dress with a pale pink upper body and maple red lower body as it grew.

"First meeting, father."

"This is my first communication with you. It shouldn't scare you, right?"

Kaguya Houraisan, who had returned to about ten years old, was seen kneeling in front of An Xiu, lowering his head and speaking to An Xiu. His words and deeds all revealed a ladylike temperament.

An Xiu was not surprised by this. After all, in the original story, Kaguya, who was adopted by the Taketori couple, was originally described as growing from a baby to a slim girl in just a few years. From this, it can be seen that Kaguya, who became a child after being exiled, has a high probability of having the ability to control the growth rate of his body to a certain extent.

Now, perhaps after a period of observation, I can see that the three An Xiu are not ordinary people, so they simply did not spend several years to gradually progress like in the original story, but directly grew up to the age where simple communication can be carried out in the shortest time, and then directly showed their cards.

"It's not like I'm scared. After all, it's not easy to tell who you are from the beginning."

"There is a pure power in your body that is different from demon power and spiritual power. If my guess is correct, it should be divine power, right? Your identity should be related to God."

"However, what I didn't expect is that even with such an identity, you still call me father. Don't you have some grudge in your heart because of this?"

Just listen to An Xiu ask.

As early as the beginning, An Xiu could sense that there was this special power in Kaguya's body. It was different from the demon power that Yae Kasumi had after adapting to this world, and it was also different from the spiritual power that the middle-aged monk had shown before. It was a power that was more noble and pure in nature.

Combined with Kaguya Houraisan's identity, An Xiu can easily judge that it should be the divine power under Gensokyo's worldview, which is the power controlled by God. It is also a strong evidence for An Xiu to expose Kaguya Houraisan's identity.

"I really can't hide it from my father. Your guess is indeed correct. My true identity is the daughter of Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, one of God and Takamagahara's former Three Noble Children. The reason why I appear here now is because I violated a taboo and was exiled here by my real father."

"As for whether you have any grudges because of calling me father like this, father don't have to worry about it. Although I have a father who is the Lord God, there is no father-daughter relationship between me and him from the beginning to the end."

"This time I was exiled to the world on earth. I also hope that in this way, I can feel the so-called true love between father and daughter, and understand what it is like to be 'the daughter of my father'. That's why I chose this way to come to my father's side."

"Then, I wonder if Father, can you satisfy my small request?"

After saying this, he knelt down next to Kaguya Houraisan who was sitting in front of An Xiu and looked at An Xiu with eyes that looked very pitiful but full of expectation.

"Okay, if you really think so, then I don't have any objection."

An Xiu nodded and agreed to Kaguya Houraisan's request.

Anyway, no matter whether Kaguya Houraisan really wants to feel the love between father and daughter, he, as a father, will definitely not suffer, so it doesn't matter if he agrees to it.

Although when it comes to age, An Xiu's two lifetimes combined are probably not as old as Kaguya Houraisan, who looks only about ten years old.

(The following content is the second set of this book, please do not substitute it into other works)

PS: Due to the author's negligence when searching for information, he did not find out the specific times of the respective eras of Abe no Seimei and Kaguya, which resulted in a slight problem with the timeline. The time when Kaguya appeared was actually earlier than the time when the Hagoromo Gitsune force was formed.

However, the outline cannot be changed there, so we can only modify the timeline. The setting of this book is due to part of the butterfly effect caused by the fusion of different world views, which caused Kaguya to be exiled to the ground a while later than the original work, so the protagonist can pick up Kaguya during this period. This is the general setting. (This setting is limited to this book)

Chapter 309: An Xiu's group's greetings, the demonic confrontation above Kyoto

Early the next morning, under the ghostly gaze of the villagers, An Xiu took Kaguya Houraisan, who had grown to about ten years old, and set foot on the road to Kyoto together with Meli and Yae Kasumi.

This time, An Xiu and his group no longer walked in the normal way. Instead, they used some strength and arrived in Kyoto in just half a Tokiomi.

At this time, the gate of Kyoto had just opened, and many merchants and ordinary people who came from other places were queuing up to undergo inspection and prepare to enter the city.

However, this was different for An Xiu and his group. Meli just performed a simple illusion, which directly allowed An Xiu and the others to skip the steps of queuing and undergoing inspection, and walked into the city in a swaggering manner.

"It is really rich in youkai. You can feel it even from such a distance. With this scale of youkai, even if you exclude the forces of Hagoromo Gitsune, there are probably not a few youkai in the entire Kyoto."

After entering the city, An Xiu spoke directly, and at the same time, Meli and Yae Kasumi beside him looked towards the direction of the distant palace.

I saw above the palace, which according to the customary knowledge of ancient Japan people, should have been the noble and sacred residence of the emperor, but there was a large-scale evil spirit constantly hovering. It was obvious that there was a big monster-level existence entrenched for a long time.

Combined with the setting of Hagoromo Gitsune, it will continue to reincarnate and board the bodies of noble women. In this scenario, it is obvious that the object of Hagoromo Gitsune's boarding in this era is in the palace.

The unabashed demonic aura at the moment is Hagoromo Gitsune and the strength of his subordinates declaring their sovereignty over Kyoto, and at the same time warning other demons in Kyoto whose territory this is.

"In addition to the demonic energy, there are also some auras of spiritual energy gathering in this city. I think they must be the various onmyojis the Family in Kyoto."

"However, these onmyojis are actually indifferent to the behavior of Hagoromo Gitsune and his subordinates. Is it because the female target Hagoromo Gitsune is hosting is too noble to take action?"

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that it cannot be defeated at all and therefore cannot be controlled. Apart from these two reasons, there is probably no other reason that can explain the complicated situation in Kyoto.

But it doesn't matter what happened before. Since An Xiu is here now, it means that Kyoto will soon change (anti-allergy).

"Before that, let me express my arrival in a small way."

As he spoke, An Xiu looked at Yae Kasumi beside him.

Yae Kasumi also understood immediately, took a look at the scale of the demonic energy above Kyoto, and then began to mobilize the demonic power in his body.

Buzz...

The dark red demon power was suddenly released. At this moment, countless demons and onmyoji in Kyoto seemed to feel something and suddenly raised their heads.

I saw an incomparably huge demonic force full of evil and deadly aura rising into the sky. The resulting dark red demonic aura covered most of Sky Manipulation above my head in just a short moment, leaving only the demonic aura entrenched above the palace, confronting the dark red demonic aura in the distance like a lone boat.
