No.
I have nothing.
It's impossible…
Kyoaki Hashimoto paced his study.
There were so many great figures in the history of the Onmyoji.
Master Douman, with his own strength, fought against two Extraordinary beings (Grandma Mitsue and Seiran) using only a phantom.
This proved that the Onmyoji of ancient times definitely had the True Teachings.
Otherwise, how could Abe no Seimei be called the lifelong enemy of Ashiya Douman?
Since they are mortal enemies, how could they be called such if they were not evenly matched?
Hashimoto stood up. He walked to the front of the altar to burn incense and worship his ancestors.
The smell of sandalwood finally calmed him down. He needed to look at the problem of the Seimei Fan with a clear mind.
However, the ringing of his mobile phone made him frown again.
Why are there so many interruptions today?
But when he saw the caller ID—a senior member of the Kyoto Prefectural Police—Hashimoto could only be patient.
"Mr. Hashimoto, excuse me. I am Fumimaro Ayanokoji, Chief Inspector of the Kyoto Prefectural Police."
"I heard that the Second Daughter of the Yukinoshita Family is in the Onmyoryo area and seems to be in danger. Please organize your people to assist. I will be there shortly."
Hashimoto hung up, his brow furrowed.
Kyoto Prefectural Police…
This level of government is not allowed to know certain secrets yet. Inspector Megure in Tokyo is an exception because he made significant contributions to the matchmaking between the Metropolitan Police and Lord Mizunotsuki.
As for Yukino Yukinoshita being in danger…
How could his Onmyoryo be dangerous?
The Back Mountain?
The Back Mountain is clearly just a historical—
His eyes widened instantly.
In his mind, it was like a flash of lightning, shocking Hashimoto on the spot.
That's right. Why did Yukino go to the Back Mountain of my Onmyoryo?
That is a restricted area.
There is nothing wrong with visiting it as a tourist, but there is really no need to skip classes in Tokyo just to look at some trees.
What was she doing there?
His heart jumped a few times.
What was she doing there…
What did she find?
Is the focus of the Seimei Fan's secret in the Back Mountain?
If so, why? Can I find the corresponding location?
Wind. Xun. People. Hexagrams.
What is Wind?
Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire. Wind is derived from the "Three" elements.
Enter with Three.
How is this explained in the Zhanshi Luejue?
Thump, Thump, Thump...
Tinnitus and a racing heartbeat. A state of absolute stillness made Hashimoto feel like he was being struck by lightning.
Then, like a starving tiger pouncing on its prey, he threw himself at the rubbing of the Zhanshi Luejue with red eyes.
At this moment, he dared not trust his memory anymore.
Where is it… where is it!?
[Text Analysis: Lesson Usage]
Third: If all four lessons are comparable or not comparable, use the one that involves the guest deeply. Add Meng for deep, add Zhong for half, and add Ji for shallow.
Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai are Meng. Zi, Wu, Mao, and You are Zhong. Chou, Wei, Chen, and Xu are Ji.
What is the use of this hexagram? It should be interpreted by the Twelve Generals!
[Text Analysis: The Twelve Generals]
The First Three: Six Mouths, Wood God, Home in Mao. The main private harmony, auspicious generals, six mouths, and six combinations.
No, this interpretation is not appropriate! It does not match the hexagram of Wind!
Then the Last Three:
Xuanwu, Water God, Home in Zi. The main deceased thieves, evil generals.
No, it is still wrong! This hexagram is not appropriate!
The main attribute is Wind – Xun.
Then the front ends at Five, and the back ends at Six, leaving only…
[Text Analysis: The Back Six]
Sky, Wind God, Home is in Xu. The Master is deceitful and untrustworthy, Evil General.
"SNAP..."
At this moment, Hashimoto seemed to lose all his strength. He slumped back into his seat.
His face was filled with a mixture of crying and laughing, letting out decades of repressed emotion.
It worked.
It corresponded.
The Last Six. The Sky. The Wind God…
The main element is Wind!
The specific meaning hidden in the text: If there is a "God" of Wind in the family, later generations must offer sincere sacrifices to Him.
"Gods" are evil, have martial arts, have wisdom, and can recognize people.
It turns out that it has always been here…
It turns out that his Onmyoryo has always had the True Teachings left by the ancestors!
In front of him, it seemed like an illusion. Grandma Mitsue's teachings were still vivid in his mind:
"Read more classics, don't covet other things..."
"PAH!"
He slapped himself hard in the face.
Stupid!
Too stupid!
Why did I only figure this out now!?
How glorious was the Onmyoryo? How many outstanding people had come out of it?
If the ancestors knew that he was coveting other people's extraordinary powers (like Seiran's) while sitting on a goldmine, they would hate him for being useless!
And more.
There's more!!
He turned the page again like a madman.
The hexagram was solved, and it also gave the direction!
What method is the General of the Twelfth Month in charge of?
No, that's not right. It belongs to the Fifth Method.
The Ten Stems Gangrou Method?
Still wrong! I can't proceed with "Three".
Then it is the Twelve Zodiac Yin and Yang Method:
Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, Xu are Yang branches, also Gang (Hard) branches.
Chou, Mao, Si, Wei, You, Hai are Yin branches, also Soft branches.
Choose "Three", corresponding to:
Chen, Xu, Si, Hai.
Its location is…
Both of his hands were shaking.
He didn't notice for a moment as the rubbing slipped from his fingers and fell to the floor.
His eyes were dull, as if his soul had left his body.
The hexagram is the Main House.
God is at Home...
The direction is towards the Yin, that is, towards the Back.
Then the position of the "God" is at...
"The Back Mountain..."
He twisted his neck stiffly, staring in the direction of the Back Mountain in a trance.
But then, another thought suddenly exploded in his mind.
The "God" (Shikigami/Yokai) of my Onmyoryo is located in the Back Mountain... so why did Yukino Yukinoshita go there!?
And…
I heard she brought outsiders with her.
Outsiders!?
His eyelids flew open.
He had never believed that Yukino would encounter any danger, because the Black Crow given by Lord Mizunotsuki was protecting her. He had been envious of that crow.
But now, his eyes were bloodshot. He was absolutely furious.
Yukinoshita…
YUKINOSHITA!
What on earth do you want to do to the "God" of MY Onmyoryo!?
The old man went almost crazy.
He rushed out of his office, yelling at everyone in the compound at the top of his lungs:
"GO TO THE BACK MOUNTAIN! EVERYONE, GO TO THE BACK MOUNTAIN!"
"GET THOSE PEOPLE OUT OF THERE!"
Tokyo: The Yukinoshita Estate
Yukino… encountered danger?
Haruno Yukinoshita was still in Tokyo.
During this period, the Yukinoshita family had purchased a lot of real estate in Tokyo, all of which was managed by her. With "Someone" behind her (Seiran), Haruno was naturally fearless.
It was just a pity that no one had tried to cross her yet. She had been hoping someone would look for trouble so she could invite Seiran to come out and slap some arrogant rich family in the face.
She played with her mobile phone lazily.
She wasn't anxious. There was no need to be anxious.
Yukino had Seiran's beast (the Crow) in her hands, so she couldn't encounter any real danger. Unless there was an extraordinary event that even Seiran couldn't handle—which Haruno found highly unlikely.
Even if things went bad, the Black Crow could take Yukino away safely. At most, Yukino's clothes would get a little dirty.
Haruno was very confident in Seiran.
Because Grandma Mitsue, the Chaebols, and the Police all had to admit that Seiran was absolute.
Just treat Yukino as a lucky person. The one who suffers will definitely not be our family.
But… Haruno rubbed her eyebrows.
Her eyelids were twitching.
She was sure that Yukino wouldn't be in mortal danger.
But it seemed… it was very likely that Yukino was causing trouble.
Thinking of this, Haruno's face became a little unnatural.
No, not really…
Yukino is such a well-behaved and lovely girl… she wouldn't do something stupid, right?
