The World Shakes
Chapter 25
In a sea of fire, there were burning fires and screaming people everywhere. No one cared about Tianxia and Ichii who suddenly appeared on the street. The most important thing now was to run for their lives.
Wave after wave of red heat poured into the houses around the street, but The World Trembled did not miss the dark purple light mixed in the fire. This was not an ordinary fire.
"It's him … he's here for revenge!
Monster … damnable monster!! "
The fleeing crowd was mixed with a different cry from the others. The World Trembled did not care too much and pulled Ichii away from here.
When the Government of the Hour was studying the Komusubi's aura, they only studied half of it before he woke up and ran away. But even then, they could sense that he was no longer the Fu Mourning God, but a degenerate monster. When the researchers found that the monster's aura was very familiar, they were killed by the Komusubi before they could figure out who it was. The place where The World Trembled and One Period One Rise came from was the capital of Peace, the place where the Komusubi escaped and descended. This was the place where the monsters were most active, and it was also the time when the famous Onmyoji Haruaki Abe existed. Tianxia now had to find Haruaki Abe and ask him to help the Government of the Hour find the Komusubi, then bring him back or kill him directly.
In this situation, escaping was the most important thing. Tianxia and Ichii did not want to care about the monster's revenge. Besides, if this was a part of history, saving one more person might change something. Otherwise, if they did not find the Komusubi and attracted the attention of the Inspector, it would not be worth the loss.
"Where's Haruaki -sama!
Why didn't Haruaki -sama come!
It's all because of that fox demon!
You're just a monster … How dare you dream of living like a human! "
The people around him were already in a state of madness. Their homes were being burned down by the fire, and their mouths were spouting unbearable words. Tianxia only paid attention to the Haruaki Abe that he was calling out. If this fire was really set by demons, then the Onmyojis would definitely come as well.
The World Trembled and One Period One Rise followed the fleeing humans into the temporary shelters outside the city. The fire in the city was still burning, and the people outside the city were extremely anxious.
"Sir Haruaki hasn't arrived yet?
Why are your messengers so slow? "The leader looked left and right, trying to find the figure he had been waiting for, but there was nothing.
"Qing … Haruaki -sama said … everything has its own cause and effect … This is our retribution … He won't come."
The messenger trembled as he brought back the Grand Onmyoji's reply. Haruaki Abe had no intention of coming.
"Trash!"
The World Trembled kicked the person kneeling in front of him. He was very unhappy that he didn't invite the person who was supposed to come. He frowned and unexpectedly felt that Haruaki Abe was somewhat different from the person the Government of the Hour described him to be. Would such a person who was afraid of karma really help the Government of the Hour?
He asked around for Haruaki Abe's residence, and found out that his house wasn't far from the fire. In fact, it could be said that it was very close. The fire was only fixed on two streets, and Haruaki Abe's house was one street away from the fire.
When The World Trembled arrived, they could clearly see the burning fire from this direction, and the huge cherry blossom tree in the courtyard stretching out from the wall.
Just as Ishidate was about to knock on the door, it opened automatically. The person who opened the door was a little girl who only reached Ishidate's waist. The little girl's single ponytail swayed, and she was holding a huge dandelion in her hand. She looked very cute.
"Haruaki -sama has been waiting for a long time, please come in."
It wasn't clear if the Government of the Hour had notified them, or if the Onmyoji who knew a bit of divination had calculated it herself, but the little girl with the dandelion in her hand brought Ishidate and Tianxia into the house. In the courtyard facing the door, under the cherry blossom tree, the person sitting under the tree writing something with a brush should be Haruaki Abe.
"Yesterday, I received a letter from two guests, but I didn't expect one of them to be Fu Mourning God."
Haruaki Abe put down the brush in his hand. He looked at The World Trembled, and The World Trembled also looked at him.
Legend has it that Haruaki Abe was the son of a white fox, and was a half-demon. It was also because of the strong spiritual power in his mother, Ge Ye's bloodline, that Haruaki Abe's spiritual power was extraordinary when he was young. When he grew up, he became the number one Onmyoji in Kyoto. The World Trembled looked at him because Haruaki Abe didn't have a trace of demon aura on him, so he couldn't be a half-demon. He was a complete human.
"We came here to ask for Haruaki's help. This is your home ground, and we just want you to help us find out the whereabouts of the Fu Mourning God, Komusubi … No, maybe he's no longer the Fu Mourning God. It's better to call him a demon."
One Period One Rise saw Tianxia and Haruaki looking at each other without speaking for a long time, so she could only stand up and remind Tianxia that she had a purpose for coming here. If she wasn't mistaken, the Government of the Hour should have sent a letter to Haruaki Abe to tell him the details.
"I already know the situation, and I also know where the Komusubi you mentioned is. But there are too many things that involve me … Forgive me for not being able to help."
Haruaki Abe gestured for the Spirit-branded Retainer beside him to bring over three cups of tea. He then pointed at the cushions and gestured for Tianxia and One Rise to sit down.
"Is it convenient for you to tell me the reason?" Tianxia didn't sit down, nor did One Rise. The two were still standing and waiting for Haruaki Abe's next sentence.
"I've seen the Komusubi before. Mijou Munechika asked me to bring the Saber Embryo to the Heavenly Fox Ge Ye, and Ge Ye is the benefactor of my rebirth. The person who took the Komusubi in is Ge Ye's close friend. The relationship between them is very complicated, and it would be difficult for me to intervene."
Haruaki Abe took a sip of tea and answered unhurriedly. The World Trembled was stunned when she heard the name Ge Ye, and voiced her doubts.
"I've only heard of legends. It's said that the Great Onmyoji of the Heian Era, Haruaki Abe, was the son of the Heavenly Fox Ge Ye and a human. It's said that you're a half-demon, but I don't sense any demon aura. You should be a human."
Trembling Under the Heavens immediately regretted asking this question. Was it too much for Abe Seimei to ask about his suspicions? Just as he was about to apologize, he heard Abe Seimei say something else.
"Ge Ye is a man."
The World Trembled and One Period One Rise looked at each other. One Period One Rise had obviously heard of this legend as well, but she didn't expect Ge Ye to be a man. Then it would be unrealistic for him to give birth to Haruaki Abe, but the benefactor of rebirth … The World Trembled shook her head. Haruaki Abe had decisively rejected the Government of the Hour's request. There was no point in staying here any longer, and what was the use of understanding his relationship with Ge Ye?
"Then we'll take our leave first."
