I set off the Night Parade of Hundred Demons in Tokyo

Tsuchimikado family.

Not long after Director Takahashi and the others arrived, Professor Kitayama also arrived.

"Abe Otakemaro?!"

When Professor Beishan learned the name of the person who took the sword, his face was moved.

Seeing this, everyone was sure that Professor Nakata was right, Professor Kitayama knew the surname Abe.

"Professor Kitayama, surname Abe..."

Wow.

The Japanese-style sliding wooden door opened, interrupting Director Takahashi's inquiry.

"Prince, there is a man who calls himself Abe Otakemaro. He is at the door." The attendant of the Tsuchimikado family hurriedly ran over.

Without any time to think about anything else, Tsuchimikado Kenji, Tsuchimikado Natsumi, Director Takahashi and others quickly rushed out of the house and ran to the entrance of the compound.

It was a middle-aged man wearing a simple Yin-Yang Taoist uniform, but he could not wear the rigor and seriousness of an Yin-Yang master. He was dressed very casually, just like other people wearing suits without a tie. The collar was wide open, and a formal suit gave a casual feel. .

A feeling of seeing the cheerful uncle next door.

When they saw the middle-aged man for the first time, they were stunned for a while.

Onmyoji?

Look again, they're sluggish.

The middle-aged Onmyoji was not only casually dressed in Onmyoji clothes, but also lacked the solemnity and majesty of an Onmyoji. He was stroking his stubble on his chin, looking curiously at his surroundings, looking here and there.

Sometimes I would stare at the cars passing by on the road in front of the distant street and marvel.

"That iron man is a bit interesting."

With exclamations echoing in their ears, Director Takahashi and others were startled, thinking they had recognized the wrong person, but they saw that middle-aged man standing at the door of the surrounding compound, and no one else.

"Prince, that is the person who calls himself Abe Otakemaro."

The attendant rushed up and pointed at the middle-aged Onmyoji at the entrance of the compound.

Only then did everyone confirm that they had admitted it correctly, that it was Abe Ontakemaro. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Why did they feel that Abe Ontakemaro looked like a psycho? He didn't even recognize a car.

etc!

Don’t even know the car? Could it be...

It is concluded that the middle-aged man is either a fake, or an extraordinary person from ancient times who has lived in the world for a long time, or is not in this world at all. He has been in the monster world or other worlds for a long time and is unaware of the changes in the world.

They prefer the latter.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that the middle-aged man calls himself Abe Otakemaro is enough to prove his identity. You must know that Master Kukai’s borrowing of the Amansoun Sword is a secret. Only the Tsuchimikado family and some high-level officials in the government know it, and outsiders have no idea at all.

The middle-aged man noticed someone coming out of the courtyard door. He withdrew his curious eyes and looked at everyone.

"Hello, I am Abe Otakemaro, and I have been ordered to pick up the Amancongyun Sword."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for anyone to provide proof, the middle-aged man touched the yin and yang rope bracelet on his wrist. The symbol shone softly, and a Buddhist bead flew out of the air from the yin and yang small plate on the bracelet.

Director Takahashi and the others saw clearly that a Buddhist bead flew out of thin air from the small sign hanging on the bracelet, as if the small, flat sign existed in an alien dimension and could hold Buddhist beads and other things that were much larger than the sign.

With this move, everyone half believed that the middle-aged man was Abe Otakemaro, which at least proved that he was extraordinary.

Only the extraordinary can have such extraordinary means.

The beads are simple, flowing with precious light, and the brilliance condenses into a Buddha statue, as if there is a god and Buddha sitting cross-legged on the beads, illuminating all living beings.

Another prayer bead appeared.

This prayer bead flew out of Tsuchimikado Natsumi's pocket. It was given to Tsuchimikado Natsumi by Master Kukai as a token that day.

The two beads flew up, suspended in the air, and fit together.

moment.

The precious light flows brilliantly, and the Buddha's voice resounds.

"Amitabha."

This is the voice of Master Kukai.

Hearing this, Director Takahashi and the others were convinced that the middle-aged man was Abe Ontakemaro, because Master Kukai had given Natsumi Tsuchimikado a Buddhist bead and told her that the name of the recipient was Abe Ontakemaro, and he would hold a Buddhist bead. If the beads respond to each other, the other person is Abe Otakemaro.

Tsuchimikado's house, lobby.

“I miss the architectural style so much.”

Abe Otakemaro glanced at the decoration of Tsuchimikado's house, and his eyes fell on the courtyard scenery outside the hall door.

The Tsuchimikado family is a shrine family, and the architectural style of the main house still retains the ancient Japanese courtyard style.

The house is surrounded by a courtyard. The main entrance of the house is directly opposite the courtyard door, connected by a bluestone pavement. The courtyards on both sides are wide, with rockeries, flowers and plants, and a small pond with carps.

The door of the hall is a Japanese-style door, which can be opened left and right to directly see the courtyard scenery.

The flowing water from the rockery falls into the water channel formed by the bamboos. Once the bamboo tube is full of water, it will fall and hit the stones, making a tinkling sound, which is very traditional Japanese style.

Listening to the sound of water flowing through the green bamboos and sipping tea, there is a sense of tranquility.

"Master Abe, I, can I take the liberty to ask, what is the relationship between Abe Nakamaro and you?"

Professor Beishan mustered up the courage and suddenly asked.

At first, when Maro Abe Ontake arrived, everyone was frightened. Even Director Takahashi and Foreign Minister Masaki Ouchi were a little reserved and felt more nervous than receiving high-level foreign officials.

The other party is extraordinary and can destroy heaven and earth with every move he makes. If he neglects him, he is really afraid that he will destroy them with one hand.

But slowly, everyone's restraint disappeared and became relaxed.

Abe Otakemaro is much easier to get along with than expected. He is not difficult to get along with. He is even friendly and very talkative.

He walked along the bluestone road, asking questions from time to time, asking what a car is, what is the thing called a mobile phone in your hand, and what is its function.

He is very easy-going and has no airs.

Everyone had such an impression of Abe Ontakemaro, and it was also because of Abe Ontakemaro's easygoing and talkative nature that Professor Kitayama finally plucked up the courage to ask a question he had always wanted to ask.

The voice asked.

Professor Kitayama's heart was pounding, and the tension that had been relaxed before became tense again. He was a little afraid that he would offend the other party by asking this.

However……

"Hey, does anyone still remember my uncle in this era?" Abe Otakemaro was slightly surprised: "It seems that after heaven and earth are connected, future generations will not forget the glory brought by the past people."

Unparalleled access to heaven and earth?

Everyone was suddenly startled, what did this mean?

Although they were curious, they did not have the courage to ask Professor Kitayama. After all, Professor Kitayama was old. Taking advantage of his eighty-year-old age with almost half of his feet in the ground, he would probably die after asking. Anyway, he had lived long enough, unlike others. , they were still young and still had plenty of time to enjoy themselves, so they didn’t dare to ask.

They didn't dare to ask Abe Otakemaro, but they could ask Professor Kitayama.

At this time, Professor Beishan's eyes widened and he looked excited:

"It turns out it's not the same name! Master Abe, you are the nephew of Abe Otakemaro, the nephew of Abe Nakamaro who has left a great reputation in China and Japan!"

"It's me."

Abe Otakemaro smiled, was very easy-going, and responded directly.

Hearing this, Professor Nakata next to Professor Kitayama couldn't help but wonder: "Professor Kitayama, who is Nakamaro Abe?"

Everyone also looked at Professor Beishan.
