Chapter 5 Section 4
The old man laid another seed.
When the white stone that turned into a fierce attack landed, it blew out a burst of evil spirit that made everything uncomfortable.
Abe Seimei remained motionless.
"Wrong, very wrong. You let Luo Gui die, and you let those humans get indescribable pleasure from killing monsters." The old man was surrounded by deep dark power, and he raised the volume slightly, and there was a lot of noise outside the court. There was a black wind.
"... How can there be pleasure in killing living things?" Abe Seimei sighed.
Great pleasure, my child, but the old man avoided answering, and just said: "After discovering that monsters can indeed be killed, human beings will only become more and more brave. Curses are not unique to you and me. Humans will become more and more familiar with them. It will become stronger and stronger."
Seimei Abe was noncommittal.
The old man continued: "And your reputation... Great Onmyoji, Abe Seimei, will get closer and closer to Slaying Demons and Demons."
This sentence hit Abe Seimei's sore spot.
It made it difficult for the sunspot in his hand to drop for a long time.
Human beings are not only very contradictory, but also very greedy for cheap.
He remembered one thing.
Knowing that life is precious, a hundred years ago someone took a hoe and killed a pregnant female cat who was stealing food from the kitchen, resulting in the combination of evil spirit and resentful cat spirit, becoming a cat demon.
Afterwards, the cat demon haunted the night and night, and the cat killer asked the onmyoji for help, trying to appease the cat demon's resentment with a soul-soothing ritual.
Is there such a cheap thing?
"To save this cat demon, you have to use yin and yang techniques to lose ten years of life from you, and then cast spells to marry off your life force."
After communicating with the cat demon, Abe Seimei solemnly explained to the cat killer.
"Ten years of life lost!" The cat killer was furious: "It's unreasonable! Master Qingming, please curse and kill it directly!"
There is no deep hatred, killing the cat out of a moment of anger, but afterwards trying to comfort the cat spirit with simple yin and yang techniques, and even destroy the cat spirit. The past actions are not directly proportional to the price suffered today.
Rather than saying that humans are afraid of monsters, it is better to say that monsters have never been respected by humans.
The more Abe Seimei wanted to reverse this situation, the more frustrated he became.
All over Japan, there have always been traveling onmyojis or monks who took killing demons and demons as their mission, and there have always been heroes who regard killing ghosts as a practice of pursuing martial arts, but they...
"I never slayed demons, I just tried my best to seek symbiosis in the two realms of yin and yang."
Abe Seimei made another sunspot and took a defensive position with clear barriers.
"Really?" The old man laughed contemptuously: "Then I really misunderstood how humans think of you."
Without even thinking about it, Bai Zi continued to attack.
"...You can't create confusion in my heart."
Abe Seimei sunspots fell again and built a city wall.
"Of course, you and I are equal in strength, how can I create confusion in your heart? Confusion, in fact, has always been in your heart, but you have been deliberately ignoring it." The old man smiled, and immediately attacked again: "But human beings What you do will always remind you of this confusion, like a thorn in your heart."
The thorn in the heart.
In today's world, who can play chess with Abe Qingming every night?
Of course only the king of the dark world, Xu Fu.
