The Tale of Genji

"It's Fengshen." Abe Seimei said with certainty, "Only for this matter, you will need my help, Raimitsu."

What does Young Master Genji want and not get?In the mundane world, the energy of Minamoto Yorimitsu with an entire Genji standing behind him is much greater than that of Abe Seimei, and she also has a huge network of influence in the Yin and Yang Dao.Is there anything such Minamoto Raimitsu can't do that would require his help?

After narrowing down the scope, the answer became obvious.

"Only Fengshen."

Fengshen Company.

This is the existence that Abe Seimei and Minamoto Raimitsu encountered when they went out to clean up the daily demon-removing missions together. Although they are honored as Fengshen, they have actually degenerated into monsters, and even their names have become Ichimokuren.

He has a gentle temperament and is amiable to others. It is not a problem to say that he is kind, and he is also very kind to the brothers who suddenly broke into his territory.Not only did he treat the two injured people, but he also sheltered them for several days, and he didn't stop them when they left. It can be said that he is a very good homeowner.

In view of his former identity and his strong ability in protection and defense, Minamoto Raimitsu actually tricked him into going to Genji at the beginning.

But there is not enough fate, apart from that time, Minamoto Raimitsu has never seen Yimulian again, even though she passed by that place several times.In contrast, her younger brother Abe Seimei is very different. The former god seems to like him very much. Every time Abe Seimei passes by that place, he will disappear for a few days. When he comes back, he will confess that he was invited. Fengshen's territory is a guest.

Minamoto Larimitsu: ...

I don’t want to talk, and I even really want to complain about your style of “lonely old man living alone at home, and every time his grandson passes by, he has to bring someone home to talk” what’s going on!

Tucao belongs to Tucao, but if we only look at the facts, it is true that Abe Seimei and Yimulian have a good relationship.

So when I needed to use Yimulian, Yuan Laiguang, who had no fate with that Fengshen, came to ask his junior brother for help, intending to let the junior brother open a back door, or be a leading party, and lead her to find Yimulian.

By the way, I spent the whole day as a rest time.

Regarding Minamoto's request, Abe Seimei said: "Since Raikou, what you want to see is Fengshen, before that, I also need to ask His Highness for permission."

"Then I will trouble you." Minamoto Raimiko said.

She wasn't worried about being rejected by Yimulian at all.

To say why... Of course, it's not that Abe Seimei is very confident in Yimulian's face, she just pinpointed the weakness of that Fengshen.

The wind god who shelters the village, answers prayers with all his strength, protects the believers, and never retaliates after being forgotten by the believers and degenerates into a monster... His temperament is really too gentle.For humans, it can be said that they don't know how to refuse.

On this point, Minamoto Raimitsu still has an advantage.

Genji is a family that pursues human blood.

Maybe there are guys in the world who take the initiative to make themselves "inhuman" in order to be powerful, but this situation never existed in Genji.Genji's idea is to use the "human" body to fight against "inhumans", instead of distorting himself and turning himself into monsters like those ghosts.They have always carried out this idea, sticking to their own race, and naturally they will not do anything to confuse their own blood.

Minamoto Raimitsu, who was born in such a family, is of course a pure "son of man".

And the gentle and excessive Fengshen will not refuse legitimate requests from humans—even if Minamoto Raimiko is neither his believer nor a powerless ordinary person.

"Besides, my requirements are not high." Minamoto Raimiko said.

Seimei Abe remains skeptical.

No, it's not that he doesn't believe in Minamoto Raimitsu - it's just that Minamoto Raimitsu's standards are always different from others.

Perhaps this is also a common problem of geniuses, because they can do it easily, so they think that other people are the same, and they often make such mistakes.Abe Seimei has this kind of problem, and Minamoto Yorimitsu certainly has it.

"Why are you so stupid?" Minamoto Raimitsu retorted, "You are the only one who would make such a mistake."

I am a dignified Genji young master, proficient in one hundred and eight manual demon removal skills. I have taken over the task of eliminating demons for many years. I know the strength of everyone in the clan. I can write an encyclopedia of the characteristics of various monster species. Assign missions that exceed their capabilities, and if necessary, they will also give a guidebook as a friendly gift——

How could I make such a low-level mistake like this?

"No matter how you think about it, it's impossible." Minamoto Raimiko said.

Abe Seimei did not refute this, but said: "Raimiko... His Highness Fengshen may not be able to give you what you want to pray to the gods."

"I know very well, Seimei—although you still call Fengshen, that His Highness has long since degenerated into a monster." Minamoto Raimitsu said calmly, "You can rest assured that what I want to ask His Highness is not What would embarrass him. On the contrary, this is very simple for His Highness."

"You were originally the God of Wind, but you also have the identity of the God of Blacksmithing—as His Highness, even now, you can still give blessings, right?"

Minamoto Raimitsu, who came to Ichimuren with the promise of the owner of this place, said this.

To bless this kind of thing, to put it bluntly, is to use power of a certain nature to forcibly achieve a certain result.There are many superficial applications of the same principle, for example: the evil spirit of ghosts will bring bad luck to people.

Yimulian is the god of wind and also the god of blacksmithing.Although he has degenerated into a monster now, he has lost his identity as a god in essence, and the attribute of power has changed from divine power to demon power, and the nature of power has not changed—he still has the wind and temper ability.The blessings he gave are naturally the effects of these two aspects.

I just don't know what the difference will be compared with the Fengshen period.

According to Genji's internal records, the blessing effect of the Fengshen Company before his fall is to increase the affinity for the wind, and to increase the success rate during forging, making it more likely to forge excellent works.What is the effect of the blessing after Fengshen degenerates into the monster Yimulian, there is no record in Genji for the time being.

But Minamoto Larimitsu felt that he would be able to make up for it soon.

The young samurai stared at the fallen god with scorching eyes, and the pink-haired youth didn't evade his gaze, but thought in his heart:

It's too lively.

Compared with the lifeless self, compared with the insensitive villagers, compared with Abe Seimei, who is so cool and bright——

This warrior of Genji, she is too vivid and too bright.

Do what you want, fight for what you want, and do your best... If the Phoenix Fire that lives in the Phoenix Forest is here, you will definitely be able to see what the burning flame looks like in her soul right?

"Son of man... what do you want?"

With indescribable emotions in his arms, Fengshen asked like this.

Minamoto said: "My father had two precious swords, and now he gave me both."

"But I'm just a young warrior, and I'm not good at martial arts. I don't think I can use these two precious swords very well,"

She made her request:

"Please give me the blessing of the God of Blacksmithing."

"You are the god of blacksmithing, the father and master of all forged things—with your blessing, I believe I will be able to get along well with those two precious swords and get to know them as soon as possible."

"as you wish."

After staring briefly, Fengshen gave such an answer.
