The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"Bah, bah bah bah"

Anyone who eats a mouthful of sand will definitely not be in a good mood. It has been a long time since Xing Xiong Yugi was in such a mess. She was knocked down without even seeing the enemy's face clearly. She has never suffered such humiliation.

Looking around, there were quite a few companions lying on the ground wailing softly. This was not because they were too weak, it was just that the mysterious guy was too strong.

There was no doubt that it was demonic power. Although she didn't want to admit it, the part she sensed was enough for her to understand that that person was more powerful than herself.

Damn it, why would the monster attack her? And she had never heard of monsters helping humans.

Kyoto is close at hand, but she has been unable to make a decision.

At this time, the mysterious guy she was extremely afraid of had already run away—

"There should be no problem here."

Wu didn't remember how far he ran. In short, he tried his best to escape from the plain where there was no obstacle to escape. Of course, he ran in a completely different direction from Kyoto. After all, that place would soon become a battlefield. .

The existence of Yakumo Purple makes Yuko's safety absolutely guaranteed, so Takeya is not worried.

The only thing he worries about now is Al and——

call out!

The blazing little fireball flew past Takeya's ear, and his skillful avoidance made Meihong show obvious displeasure.

Putting down Al who was still in confusion, Wu Ye calmly said to Meihong: "There is too much movement. If you want to make a sneak attack, such a move is not suitable at all."

Growing up, he had long been tired of watching Meihong play with fire. It was absolutely impossible for Meihong, who was still in her immature stage, to use such old-fashioned tricks against him.

Mei Hong, who was exposed, did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she took the opportunity to ask: "Who are you? Wearing such a suspicious mask, and you actually know my name."

The person who knew her no longer existed in this world. Since the other person could call out her name accurately, there was only one possibility: he was not a human.

A very bad thought appeared in Meihong's mind, but before she could say it, Takeya said without warning: "Don't worry, I'm not Kaguya's."

When Meihong heard that name, even her eyes were filled with red evil aura. She stared at Wuye's cold mask and asked: "For the last time, who are you?"

He is your friend in a thousand years - of course no one would believe Wu Ya if he said this, so now there is only one way to appease Mei Hong who is on the verge of going berserk.

"The reason I know your name is because -" Takeya put a hand on the mask, hesitated for a moment but did not choose to take it off: "I have seen you before, in the Fujiwara Residence."

"Fujiwara." Meihong's momentum suddenly stagnated.

"Fujiwara and I are friends." This can't be regarded as Takeya making it up, after all, he really was friends with Meihong's unlucky father for a while.

Fujiwara is a common surname, and the reputation of the two ministers is even more widespread. The moment he heard this name, Al looked up at Takeya in disbelief, but quickly hid the light in his eyes.

Similarly, this name made the red light in Meihong's eyes dissipate a little, but she still faced Takeya with a cautious attitude. Two hundred years were enough to make her paranoid and crazy. She had forgotten too many things. This includes trust in others.

"I have no ill intentions towards you." Putting down his weapon to show his sincerity, Takeru said calmly: "I know you are not a monster."

"But they're not human either." Meihong sneered, and the cold self-mockery in her smile was heartbreaking.

Takeru knew it all, whether it was the little sister Hong who once looked forward to her father like a blank slate or the older sister-like delinquent girl in Gensokyo a thousand years later.

With Xiao Xiaomeihong's character, growing up to what she is today, I am afraid she has been betrayed countless times by others.

"Anyway, can you tell me why you guys had a conflict?" Takeru was actually asking Al behind him.

Meihong is not a monster, but a Penglai person. Even if her flames are similar to those of a monster, they are different after all. It is impossible for an Onmyoji to regard a Penglai person as a monster.

Not to mention that Meihong doesn't have any demon power at all.

They attacked Meihong for some other reason.

"I, I don't know."

Probably seeing that the relationship between Meihong and Takeya was unusual, Al said with some embarrassment: "She was the one who attacked me first from the beginning."

"Mei Hong?" Wu Ye looked at Mei Hong.

"Don't call her so intimate!" Meihong glared at Takeya fiercely, and then admitted coldly: "This dwarf is right, I was the one who took the initiative to attack her."

"Why?" Not only Wu wanted to ask this, but Al also wanted to know.

"But it's not necessary now." Meihong glanced at the two people in front of her, and silently opened the small bundle in her hand. Wait, when did you hold that in your hand?

The contents of the bag made Wu Ye dumbfounded and Al puzzled, because what was inside was not some mysterious treasure, but a few ordinary volumes of books, or in other words, that was——

"Isn't this my book?" Al looked at Mei Hong blankly, not understanding why the other party would do this.

Wu Ye was naturally puzzled. He was running in such a hurry just now. Al didn't even take care of his luggage, let alone the books. All the books in the cart should have been left where they were.

"You, are you fighting with those onmyojis just to grab a few books?" This reason even Wu Ye found it funny when he said it himself.

"Yes, so what!" Meihong gritted her teeth, Wu didn't dare to laugh out loud with her fierce look.

"Why?"

"You don't have to worry about it!" Meihong put away the books and threatened Al unreasonably: "Whatever comes into my hands is mine. Don't even think about taking it back!"

"Well, if it's just these books, I don't mind," Al said in a daze. It was exactly as she said. If Meihong's goal was books, there might not even be a need to argue at the beginning. After all, she was— —

"Anyway, you have the ability of photographic memory, just write another book when the time comes." Wu also inadvertently stood by Meihong's side to speak for her.

"That's right, as long as the time comes. Huh?"

Al was stunned suddenly, she raised her head, looked at Wu Ye strangely and said, "Well, why do you know that I have the ability of photographic memory?"

"Who knows, maybe I guessed it." Wu Ye was vague and didn't answer Al's question directly.

Pausing for a moment, a red meteor came from the sky. It was Gungnir who had been summoned back, and Wu Ye handed it to Meihong.

"Why?" Mei Hong frowned, not understanding Wu Ye's meaning.

"The north is no longer inhabitable. If you want to go south through Kyoto Road, take it to an onmyoji named Abe Seimei. She will help you."

Wu Ye didn't explain in a complicated way why he wanted to help Mei Hong. He simply told Mei Hong the function of this gun. As for how to choose, that was Mei Hong's business.

Sure enough, Meihong had a complicated expression, she didn't immediately agree but she didn't immediately refuse either.

Then he looked at Aer again: "Miss Aer, let's go together too. It's a little safer with Meihong here. Are you safe when you arrive in Kyoto?"

Al heard what Wu Ye meant, and asked in surprise, "Master Samurai, aren't you going with us?"

"I still have something to do." Wu Ye didn't say it clearly, but the entire Northland had been occupied. If he didn't go to Kyoto, there was only one place he could go.

"Please wait!" Al almost blurted out: "It's too dangerous. Although you are very powerful, there is only one person in the end."

"It's okay. If you can't beat me, can't you run away?" Wu Ye waved his hand and prepared to leave.

"You underestimate the monsters too much. Many of them have strange abilities, such as the monster sage. You will never escape."

Takeru stopped suddenly, and when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the panic in Al's eyes that he couldn't hide in time: "Do you know Yakumo Murasaki?"
