Chapter 4 fourth quarter

"That mansion was originally the residence of monsters." Seimei explained in the bullock cart. Inside the bullock cart, Boya and Qingming sat opposite each other. The one pulling the ox cart is a black ox. The black ox is not unusual. The strange thing is that no one is leading the way in front of the black ox. The black ox can still go to the destination exactly and never go the wrong way. However, Boya has long been familiar with such strange things. Sanshan Qingxing, who was the prime minister at the time, bought the mansion in the tenth year of Yanxi (910 AD). Hearing what Qingming said, Boya replied: "Isn't that what happened before we were born?" After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "Qingming, am I right? You were not born then, were you?"

hehe…… Seimei just smiled at Boya, neither affirming nor denying, and continued: "In short, that mansion was already very old at that time..." In the courtyard, there are tall old pine trees that seem to be inhabited by gods, as well as maple trees, cherry trees and evergreen trees. The landscape stones are covered with a thick layer of moss. The mansion itself is too old to guess the age of its construction.The paper doors are even more tattered, and some floors are even dented.However, a large amount of good wood was used without hesitation in the mansion. The pillars and beams used as the skeleton are so thick that even an adult's arms are more than enough.Leaving these skeletons and renovating the interior will be enough for people to live in.

The fly in the ointment is that monsters will appear. Whenever someone bought a mansion, they would be threatened by monsters and had to sell it again. Therefore, it was impossible to know who the original owner was. "As a result, Master Qingxing bought that mansion." Qingming said. "Where are the monsters?" "Of course it appeared. Even though it appeared, Lord Qing Xing was very calm and even drove the monster out alone." "How did you catch up?" "He reasoned with the monster and said: 'Monster, you are not the rightful owner of the house, but you stay here. This is wrong. I advise you to go out in time'."

"What happened? The monster went out?" "Go out obediently." So, Qingxing lived in that mansion all the time.After his death, his son Jingzang Daito took over the mansion. This story is also recorded in . His son Dade also passed away, and the current owner is Qingxing's grandson.However, the grandson did not live in the mansion, which had been neglected for a long time. "The Emperor bought that piece of land from Qing Xing's grandson." Qingming said, "I didn't expect that after the purchase, the monsters that had been silent until now would stir up again. Not only that, most of the strange things that have disturbed the capital recently are related to that mansion. "

"The samurai who shot a luminous object with an arrow and was bedridden with a high fever is also related to the mansion?" "Ok." "Could it be that the five-year-old child crying alone in the grass in the yard is also..." "It's the courtyard of the mansion." "Well……" "It is said that there are still many strange phenomena in the mansion, so the emperor sent someone to ask me to find a way. It was when you went out to escort the scriptures yesterday." "Then, what does it have to do with Master Horikawa?" "That's the problem..." Before Qingming finished speaking, the bullock cart stopped. "Sorry, Boya, I will explain later, it seems that I have arrived at Gojo Horikawa."
