Chapter 43 Section VI

"Strange." Seimei said. The two have come to the gate of Zuizhao Temple.The mountain gate is open. Step into the mountain gate and climb up the stone steps. There is a gate above it, and the main hall is inside the gate. "What's wrong? Seimei." Boya asked. Qingming looked up at the mountain gate standing between the pitch-black cedar trees, and muttered to himself: "The Yuanxin monk I came to find me today told me that there will be someone to greet me at this mountain gate." After finishing speaking, Qingming walked through the mountain gate, Climb the stone steps.

Boya followed Qingming. The branches of old cedar trees shaded the sky on the left and right.The moonlight fell on the center of the stone steps, illuminating a straight line. When they came to the stone steps, the two found that the door here was also open. There was no one around.Passing through the gate, there was no movement inside the gate. Seimei, who was walking towards the courtyard, stopped suddenly. "Qingming, what's wrong?" Boya asked in a low voice. "Someone is here." Seimei whispered back. A figure appeared in the dark of the main hall, heading towards the courtyard.

One person, two people, three people... a total of five people.Four of them are men dressed as Tang people, and the other is a man wearing a monk's robe. One of the men dressed in Tang Dynasty is holding the right hand of the man in monk clothes. The man walking in front, who looked like the leader of the Tang dynasty, was heading towards Qingming and Boya. "Can you see it?" Seimei asked. "If you're talking about the five men coming this way, I can see it." Boya nodded. Taking a closer look, under the moonlight, the five men's bodies were emitting a hazy blue light.Through the transparent body of the man leading the way, the shadow of the man behind him can be vaguely seen. It can be seen that these men seem to have no real body.

"It's from hell..." Qingming whispered. After the man dressed in Tang Dynasty approached, he stopped in front of Qingming. "Oh, there are two people here." One of the Tang people said. "They're not asleep." "They're awake." Everyone said that with one voice. "You are holding Master Ninjue, right?" Seimei asked. "Do you know this monk?" asked the man who seemed to be the leader. "Sure enough, it's Ninjue-sama. Can you let him go?" Seimei asked calmly. "No. This man must be allowed to taste the molten copper later."

"Please let go of his hand." "Don't disturb us, or I will take you away and let you drink copper soup." "Can you take it away?" Qingming was not afraid, but smiled. "Hey, it's so troublesome, why don't you just take them away..." After the leader finished speaking, he murmured something and pointed at Qingming. "Strange? Why don't you fall asleep?" "Your methods don't work for me," Seimei said. An expression of anger and fear appeared on the leader's face, and he shouted, "Are you an Onmyoji?"

Seimei didn't answer, only a smile appeared around her red lips. "Forget it, let's retreat tonight!" The leader ordered. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure gradually faded away and disappeared.Immediately afterwards, the other three Tang people disappeared one by one as if melting into the moonlight. The rest of Ninjue stayed where he was. "Where does the deity sleep? Please lead the way." After Seimei finished speaking, she took a slow step with patience.
