Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 1: The Cursed Family

The next day, I saw Liu Yan again. In just two days, she looked much thinner and haggard. She didn't ask if she had solved the tribulation of love in the third world, and asked about Abaoji's situation as soon as she stepped through the door.

"Liu Yan, listen to me first, your tribulation of love has been resolved, A Baoji will not take you away again, don't worry." I said to her with a smile.

Unexpectedly, she was not happy but sad, and said: "I don't care about the tribulations of the third life, I only know the days when Abaoji is not by my side, even if it is only two short days, I will almost collapse. I miss him, I want to see him!" I looked at the Si Yin next to me in surprise, and he still looked calm, and said slowly: "In this case, say goodbye to him." Then, he took out the After drawing out the spell, reciting the spell silently, the seal was released, and in a puff of white smoke, A Baoji slowly appeared in front of us.

He didn't say anything, just looked at Liu Yan silently.

"Come back with me, don't worry about anything else." Liu Yan said suddenly.

A Baoji shook his head and said: "Now that the tribulation of the Three Worlds has been solved, I have to go back to where I should go."

"Yi, I miss you, you are not by my side these two days, I am lonely, really lonely, I really miss you, I don't care if you are a spirit or not, and I don't care about the tribulation, don't leave I..." Liu Yan's face was already flushed red, her eyes were flushed, her tone was agitated, maybe she felt precious only when she lost it.

A Baoji couldn't help being moved, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and said: "A Yan, in fact, I also..."

"Take me away, take me to your world."

I was taken aback by Liu Yan's words, I hurriedly stopped and said, "You're crazy, don't you die!"

A Baoji's expression kept changing, he suppressed his emotions, shook his head, and said, "A Yan, take care."

"If he doesn't leave now, he won't be able to reincarnate and become an earthbound spirit forever." Si Yin interjected coldly.

Liu Yan was shocked, and after a long while, said quietly: "I understand, Yi, but before you leave, I want to tell you that even if you are a spirit, I still like you very much, and I will never forget being with you happy time. I——like billions.”

A Baoji's body trembled slightly, pain and reluctance intertwined on his face, as soon as he took a step forward, Liu Yan reached out to hug him, but——she forgot that A Baoji was a spirit, he had no body Yes, she watched her body pass through A Baoji's body in amazement, and couldn't help crying, "At least, at least give me a hug before you leave. At least let me feel the real you." A Baoji A trace of deep sadness flashed in my eyes, looking at Liu Yan who was crying bitterly, I was at a loss, I couldn't bear to watch it any longer, at this moment A Baoji's heart was the most painful.

"A Baoji, I will lend you my body once." Si Yin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. I couldn't believe that was what he said. Could it be that Si Yin sometimes couldn't bear it?

A look of gratitude flashed across A Baoji's face, and disappeared into the air in a blink of an eye. Si Yin suddenly stood up, rushed in front of Liu Yan, and hugged her tightly, very tightly. At that moment, I clearly saw a crystal tear slipping from the corner of his eye... My heart suddenly seemed to be caught by something...

I don't know how long it took before A Baoji left Si Yin's body, and it was time to leave.

"Yi, do you like me only because I am the reincarnation of Mingyan?" Liu Yan asked in a low voice.

"No, not exactly." A Baoji shook his head lightly, gave her a final nostalgic look, and disappeared from our eyes forever...

Liu Yan stared blankly ahead, a tear slowly flowed down her cheek, and with a tick, it fell into the blue crystal bottle in Si Yin's hand.

"Everything in the world is born because of fate. When fate gathers, things exist, and when fate separates, things disappear. If fate exists, you will meet again one day. No matter how your appearance changes, you will definitely recognize each other again. " Si Yin's light purple eyes were shrouded in a rare gentle luster, Liu Yan nodded slowly, stood up, and walked out the door.

"Master, will she forget everything? Including A Baoji?" I couldn't help asking as I watched her back go away.

Si Yin glanced at me lightly and said, "I don't have the power to erase some memories."

I stared at him closely, he seemed to notice my gaze, he glanced at me coldly with his silver eyes, and said: "What's wrong?"

"Master, you seem to be different today. It turns out that when you couldn't bear it, I thought Master's heart was a stone. I didn't expect Master to have such a gentle side." I said with a smile.

He calmed down and said, "You'd better forget what happened today, and..." There was a hint of threat in his tone, "If you let me know that you told Asuka, then..." I seemed to feel something A smell called danger.

But my facial nerves were out of control, and the corners of my mouth loosened, and I still burst out laughing.

"Master, you are so cute." I made a face at him, rushed out of the room as fast as I could, and went to Asuka to tell him!

In the next week, a client didn't come to the door, and I was happy to have a leisurely time. Naturally, Asuka went on a date with a new girlfriend. Several times, I really wanted to ask him if he was like this in different time and space. Aventure. Occasionally, I would also think of Xianyang City, the gorgeous palaces and bustling streets seemed to clearly appear in front of my eyes, as well as that person—those dark and narrow eyes, that free and unrestrained temperament, making people unforgettable, It's unbelievable when I think about it, after two thousand years, I actually had such an intersection with him...

After two days, the new client finally came to the door.

The one who came was a handsome young man, well-dressed and with a good temperament, but I felt that he was a little strange, but I couldn't tell what was so strange.

After a short period of shock and surprise, he quickly regained his composure and handed over his business card. I glanced quickly: Ding Yang, reporter of City Express.

"It's like this, I don't know why, some time ago, my neck started to feel strange, and it hurts like a knife cut. I went to see many doctors, but they were helpless. I don't know what the strange disease is. And It's strange, my father, grandpa, and men in the family all have this disease. I didn't know what to do, but recently I kept having the same dream. I kept dreaming about this teahouse, and I heard a voice telling me that as long as I went to It will be fine here, I didn’t take it seriously at first, but now it’s getting better and better, so I can only try it.” After hearing him finish, I couldn’t help but glance at his neck, no wonder I thought he was a little nervous. Strange, it turned out that there was a strange disease there.

Si Yin took a sip of tea slowly and said calmly, "That's not a disease, it's a curse."

"Curse?" Ding Yang's complexion suddenly changed, and he tremblingly said: "No, can't you?"

"Come here." Si Yin put his index finger on his forehead just like last time, and some foreign characters appeared on his forehead dimly, to be precise - Japanese. I can't help being a little surprised, could it be that his previous life was rooted in ancient Japan?

"In one of your many past lives, you were a famous swordsman and killed a woman to avenge a friend. After the woman died, she was very resentful, and she never reincarnated, but turned into an evil spirit. A curse was placed on the descendants of the swordsman, and all his descendants will suffer from this strange disease after the age of twenty-five, and suffer from being cut by a knife." Si Yin said lightly.

"Really... there is such a thing?" Ding Yang said with a pale face, "It is true that I have just passed my twenty-fifth birthday, and my parents seem to only get sick after the age of twenty-five, too. ...It's terrible..." He looked terrified, and said: "Help me, please, help me! It doesn't matter how much it costs!"

"Since you are here, we will naturally help you. As long as you prevent your previous life from killing that woman, then this evil spirit will disappear. But what I want is just a drop of your tear." Si Yin Another sip of tea.

"All right, as many tears as you want!" He said hastily.

"Then, you go back first, and I will notify you again." Si Yin glanced at me.

"Okay, okay, thank you then, thank you!" He left in a panic.

"Master, are you going to the era of swordsmen this time?" I asked.

"That's right, you have to go back to Kyoto, Japan in 1867, to prevent his previous life——Saito Kazu, captain of the third team of the Shinsengumi, from killing an izakaya proprietress named Aju."

"What? Shinsengumi? This man's previous life was Saitoichi, the top swordsman of that era?" I couldn't help being taken aback. I couldn't connect Ding Yang with Saitoichi at all.

I started mobilizing my memory. The Shinsengumi in history was established in 1863. During the 7 years of the most turbulent political situation, this strongest swordsman group in Japanese history tried to turn the tide for the Tokugawa shogunate, and even successfully used the "Ikedaya Incident" to make the Meiji Restoration come. Delayed for a whole year. Holding high the red "sincerity" mountain pattern flag and wearing light green haori, the Shinsengumi was dubbed the "Mibu Wolf" by the people at that time because of its fierce and brutal actions to exterminate those with lofty ideals and strict to almost cruel laws.

"Master, let me go, that **** era is not suitable for Xiao Yin to go." Asuka came back at some point, he crossed his hands, leaning against the door and smiled.

Si Yin glanced at him and said, "Do you think Xiaoyin dare not go?"

Bad aggressive method, but still very effective. I immediately jumped up and said, "I'll go, I'll go, I know spells, so what are you afraid of! Besides, as an oriental, I should be more convenient than Asuka."

There was an imperceptible smile in Si Yin's eyes, he nodded, and said, "Then it's decided like this, you get ready, and we'll set off tomorrow."

I nodded heavily, and smiled at Asuka, who also smiled at me, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

After dinner, Asuka knocked on my door with his laptop and a pile of clothes.

"Xiao Yin, you have to thank me for having a Japanese girlfriend. This kimono belongs to her. Although the style is a bit newer, it is better than yours. Also, I am afraid that you may be negligent, so I will review it later. Let's go through the history of the Shinsengumi." He had a rare serious look on his face.

"Forgive me, I know that period of history, anyway, most of the people in the Shinsengumi did not have good results, and almost the whole army was wiped out. I just went to stop Saito from killing that woman, and I will come back after the mission is completed." I flipped He rolled his eyes and said impatiently.

"You don't have much experience, it's a turbulent place after all, those wanderers can draw their swords and kill you as long as they don't like you, so be careful in everything and don't cause trouble." Asuka said, Turn on the laptop.

"Hmph, whoever dares to provoke me, I will summon evil spirits to eat them." I joked.

Asuka's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Remember, Xiaoyin, without Master's permission, you must not summon the evil spirit casually. There will be danger."

I nodded, I was just talking, it's really dangerous, there are many ways to escape. When practicing spiritism, I am best at fog escape, and the method of fogging is not difficult to master.

"By the way, I've already checked for you. That woman named Aju's Omi House is located in Umekoji in the Hachijo area of ​​Kyoto." Asuka kept pressing something on the notebook.

"Oh, you understand it in detail." I smiled and secretly remembered the address.

The task this time does not seem to be that difficult.

The second time through time and space, I seem to have adapted a lot, and even my headache seems to have eased a bit. This time the voice error was also a bit smaller, but the time seemed a bit awkward, it seemed that it was already very late. Forget it, I'm still in the city anyway, it's better than being in the wilderness.

Looking up, it is a long and narrow old street. Occasionally, a few young women in kimonos and samurai with swords at their waists hurried past. Along the street is a row of izakayas and lattice window houses. The dim lights reveal a dark and flickering light in the white paper lanterns, which has a special charm. No wonder Western European artists call Japanese architecture "the art of wood and paper." The combination of wood and paper is beautiful and delicate, like a swaying unintentional fire, or like a fate drifting away in a snowstorm, beautiful and fragile. Is this here in Kyoto?

Thanks to the kimono Asuka gave me, at least now it's not easy to attract people's attention.

I stopped a woman who looked kindly, and asked, "Excuse me, is this Meixiaolu?"

She looked at me, with a look of surprise in her eyes, and said, "Here is Qitiao Youxiaolu, and Meixiaolu is at Batiao."

It’s okay, as far as I know, the original design of Kyoto was to imitate Chang’an and Luoyang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties of China. It is modeled after Luoyang, and Xijing is modeled after Chang'an City, with the imperial palace in the middle. Outside the palace city is the imperial city, and outside the imperial city is the capital city. The streets in the city are in the shape of a chessboard, with orderly vertical and horizontal directions from east to west, north and south, and a uniform layout, clearly dividing the palace, government, residential areas and commercial areas. From one to nine are distributed longitudinally, so seven and eight are not very far away.

After I thanked you, I went to Hachijo. Occasionally, a few floating spirits floated by on the quiet path, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised. In China, floating spirits don't appear so ostentatiously, they only appear when they are called.

I heard from Si Yin that there are many kinds of ghosts in Japan, many of which were passed down from China. The most terrifying thing should be the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts. The ghosts of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk are composed of object ghosts. It is said that the objects of daily life become monsters because they are attached to the soul. At a certain time, they will gather together and go to the streets together on a clear night. Going to the underworld can be described as a team of death. "Hundred ghosts" has such a legend in Japan: when you use the item ninety-nine times, if you throw it away, it will gather resentment and become a monster, so it is also called ninety-nine ghosts.

The Heian period and the Edo period were the most popular times for ghosts.

Now is the end of the Edo period, there will still be many such ghosts disturbing people's lives.

Along the street, I quickly found Aju's Omi House in a row of lattice window houses. I gently opened the paper door, and there were only two or three samurai sitting there drinking in the small house. Seeing me coming in, they were taken aback for a moment, then continued to drink their wine.

A young woman in a lavender kimono came gracefully, bent over and said softly: "Welcome." She was in her early twenties. There is a layer of black and gray color, and the eyes are dull, which is a bit weird. It's not just her, this room is also a little weird, and I feel the existence of another creature.
