Chapter 35: Abe Haruaki's Self-Attack

As if afraid that they would not agree, the shrewd follower looked at Jiang Chuan Shang and said:

"Kawakami-kun, as a witness, you cannot leave now. You need to go with us so that the game can proceed effectively."

Jiang Chuan Shang hesitated and put his hand on his chest, which had already begun to hurt slightly. He said weakly, "I... have a heart attack. I'm afraid I can't go."

"This, this..." The follower was speechless due to embarrassment.

The men who were originally glaring at each other became anxious immediately after hearing what Jiang Chuan Shang said, and hurriedly asked with concern.

"Is there anything wrong?" (Abe Haruaki)

"Does your heart hurt?" (Ashiya Doman)

Just as Ashiya Doman was about to reach out to touch Ekawakami's wrist again, he was knocked away by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Abe Haruaki.

Ashiya Doman was furious and said in a cold voice, "What are you doing? I advise you to stop meddling in other people's business."

Abe Haruaki simply reached out and gently held Jiangchuankami's hand, transmitting spiritual power to him, while his eyes always stayed on Jiangchuankami.

"Of course it is to transfer spiritual power. You plundered the spiritual power with forbidden techniques, so you don't have to worry about it being poisonous when you give it to others." He replied coldly, his clear voice concealing malice towards Ashiya Doman.

At this moment, his dislike for Ashiya Doman reached its peak.

In the past, when he was killing kind-hearted ghosts and using humans to feed ghosts, Abe Haruaki had tried to stop him when he passed by, but he never had any murderous intention towards him. He just felt extremely annoyed by his constant provocations.

Today, his disgust, a mixture of annoyance and murderous intent, towards Ashiya Michiman was stronger than ever before, and he wished that this person did not exist at all.

How could he speak rudely to Kawakami-hime and even be so bold as to embarrass "her"? How dare he?

While Abe Haruaki was transmitting spiritual power to Jiangchuankami, he was thinking silently. Seeing Jiangchuankami's complexion gradually improving, his expression suddenly brightened and he carefully put down Jiangchuankami's hand.

"Ji Jun, okay, next time you feel unwell, you can come to me again. I will look up ancient books and cure you of this disease."

Jiang Chuan Shang nodded, "Thank you so much for today, Lord Qingming. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been in pain for a while."

As he spoke, his thin body trembled, as if he was afraid of the pain.

That must be painful.

Abe Haruaki thought that he wished he could take her place rather than let her suffer like this.

And at this moment, he was shocked to realize that his emotions today were abnormally magnified several times.

If it were any other time in the past, when faced with Ashiya Doman's various provocative behaviors, he would definitely maintain his usual calm and self-control, and would never lose control of his emotions; nor would he be so worried just because "she" frowned slightly.

All these changes seemed to stem from meeting Princess Kawakami today, especially the stunning moment when I first saw her in the pavilion.

Could it be that……

Did he really fall in love with Kawakami-kun at first sight?

Abe Haruaki was thinking to himself and didn't even notice the voice of his entourage calling him.

It was not until Jiang Chuan Shang woke him up that he came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream, and gave Jiang Chuan Shang a faint smile.

At this moment, Abe Haruaki's righteous face actually looked a bit silly, completely unlike the appearance of the legendary Onmyoji and Haruaki who was extremely wise and cunning like a fox.

If it weren't for the light red at the corners of his eyes, he might have been a fool trapped in love.

The follower looked at it, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But when he turned to look at Kawakami Hime, he suddenly felt that all this seemed to be a natural thing.

After all, Princess Kawakami is so beautiful, a sick beauty. If I were also a handsome and elegant man, I would probably be so fascinated by her that I couldn't move a step!

Perhaps compared to Lord Qingming, my concentration is slightly inferior.

He could only sigh as a person who had experienced it, and secretly lamented: Young people nowadays cannot resist the temptation of beauty!

Ashiya Doman's face was gloomy, as if covered by a dark cloud.

He looked at the people in front of him with a somewhat gloomy gaze. He gently blew away the few strands of hair that had fallen on his forehead. The corners of his mouth, which had been pulled down, suddenly raised up in a strange arc.

"In that case, let's hurry up and participate in the competition. The outcome of this competition is still unknown. When the time comes, Princess Kawakami will have to think carefully about who she wants to get close to."

After he finished speaking in a strange voice, he could not wait to urge his followers to lead him to the mysterious ghost palace, as if he was unwilling to wait even a moment longer.

The follower was caught in the middle, looking around in embarrassment, and finally sighed helplessly: "Oh! My Lords, the Yin-Yang magic competition is about to begin, please follow me closely."

After saying that, he quickly walked to the front and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, all the guests stood up, some with their wives, children, or servants, and followed slowly behind.

They discussed their own opinions and formed two different factions, arguing endlessly with each other.

"In my opinion, Lord Qingming will definitely win this match! Lord Qingming is the son of a white fox, and he is also a disciple of the famous old man Kamo Tadayuki. He is gifted, has extremely powerful spiritual power, and is extremely intelligent. How could he lose to Lord Daoman?"

Someone said it with confidence.

"So what? Lord Daoman was born in a poor family and taught himself Yin-Yang Taoism. He was able to grow from an unknown commoner to such an outstanding Yin-Yang master. He must have suffered a lot and has more experience than Lord Qingming. When it comes to exorcism, it has to be our Lord Daoman!"

Abe Haruaki heard their argument and just smiled, not caring. His eyes were always on Jiang Chuan Shang, paying attention to his every move.

Jiang Chuan Shang lowered his head and walked thoughtfully.

The group soon arrived at the Ghost Palace.

The so-called Ghost Palace was actually the palace of a concubine of the previous dynasty. In the beginning, the maids and servants in the palace often claimed that they saw a white ghost or a blue-gray ghost face. They were so scared that they dared not go out at night.

But after that, people started dying inexplicably, first one or two, and later even the concubine was found dead on the bed. Almost all the maids and servants in the palace died overnight.

Because the death was too horrific, the palace was sealed off with a suppression talisman and became completely empty. No one dared to come here.

Before, if a servant accidentally passed by, he would hear someone talking and mumbling unclearly. Later, singing could be heard from time to time. Since then, no one dared to go near that palace anymore.

Until today, when people mention this haunted place, it has become a place for great Onmyoji to compete, and it also allows them to get rid of the evil spirits here.

After the banquet, the sky outside had already changed into a dress of inky stars, and the full moon was hanging high in the sky, illuminating the road surface as bright as water.

The attendant guards followed on both sides with torches in hand, keeping the firelight lit, as if there were evil spirits hiding in the cold moonlight, and only the warm torches could provide shelter.

When they arrived at the destination, they found that there was a crooked dead tree on the right side of the palace entrance, and its slanted branches seemed to be pointing straight towards the red square door.

The guards held torches and illuminated the darkness on both sides. Everyone looked at the dim corners around them and suddenly felt a little nervous.

At this time, a gust of evil wind blew up, and a friction sound came from somewhere in the dead tree, which scared the guests. After the guard pushed open the red door, another gust of evil wind blew up, and a hollow laughter came from the palace, and the voice sounded like a woman.

It was pitch black inside the door and the layout couldn't be seen clearly. After the door was opened, everyone smelled a rotten odor, like something was rotting and stinking, and the smell had been there for a long time, almost making people vomit.

Everyone couldn't help but become nervous. Could there really be some ghost in here?

However, with the two great Onmyojis, Abe Haruaki and Ashiya Doman, present, there shouldn't be any other problems. The adults will protect them, and everyone felt relieved.

The attendant turned around and looked at Abe Haruaki and Ashiya Doman respectfully, and said with a bow, "My lords, the competition venue is here. Please turn your eyes and take a look. This is the palace that is rumored to be haunted. I wonder if my lords have noticed anything?"

After saying that, the follower began to explain the legend of this haunted palace.

Ashiya Doman spoke first. He fiddled with his hair with a showy look, then stretched out his right hand and gestured in front of his eyes, then turned his gaze to the ghost palace with its doors wide open.

"From what I've seen, this hall is filled with ghostly spirits and ghostly shadows. There are long-tongued ghosts, headless ghosts, crawling ghosts, hairy ghosts, flying-headed barbarians, and even Panno. With so many ghosts gathered here, it's no wonder that you timid people are frightened."

Ashiya Michimitsu sneered with disdain.

But what Abe Haruaki saw was different from what he saw.

He doesn't need to cast any magic, he can detect the traces of ghosts with his naked eyes alone.

He also stated his own observations, but his judgment was obviously more precise and clear.

"Indeed, this place is full of ghosts. These ghosts are all the souls of the dead who died unjustly. Especially that one, it is an evil ghost transformed by a jealous woman, who likes to devour humans in the middle of the night. And those eerie bones must have been thrown by it on the side of the road."

Abe Haruaki analyzed with a serious expression.

"Wow! You two masters are really amazing! You can analyze the types of ghosts so quickly. We didn't even see a ghost. We just felt that the palace was pitch black and it was difficult to see anything. Could this be the so-called ghost energy?"

One of the guests couldn't help but exclaim in admiration and asked Abe Haruaki.

Abe Haruaki showed an appreciative look on his face and nodded slightly in response: "Yes, when the ghost energy is dense enough, mortals will be able to sense it, and may even witness the appearance of a ghost."

However, Ashiya Doman was very disgusted with Abe Haruaki's posturing and made sarcastic remarks without any concealment.

"Ah, I'm too lazy to look at those ugly things. It's better to look at beautiful women."

After saying that, he came to Jiang Chuan Shang's side.

After he finished complaining, Ashiya Doman lowered his head and asked Ekawakami softly, "Kawakami-kun, are you afraid of hearing about ghosts? With such a weak body, it is very easy for evil spirits to haunt you."

After saying this, he felt that there was something wrong with what he said. His light brown eyes seemed uncomfortable, and he quickly added, "I don't mean to curse you. I mean, if you encounter a ghost, I will definitely protect you. I, Ashiya Doman, am much better than that hypocrite."

"How about it?"

What Ashiya Doman said really sounded like an attempt to steal someone's girlfriend. Egawakami, who had changed his mind a little, couldn't help but laugh, and what he said was a bit inhumane.

"No, I'm not afraid of ghosts. Who knows, I might become one of them in the future."

Ashiya Doman immediately retorted, his light brown peach blossom eyes full of affection, "How could that be? If you just marry me, I will definitely be able to cure you, and you will definitely not turn into an ugly ghost."

"But why do I have to get married to get better?" Jiang Chuan Shang asked doubtfully, his curled eyelashes curved. He raised his face and looked at Ashiya Doman seriously, "Shouldn't getting married be something that only two people in love do? Do you like me?"

"But when I looked into your eyes, I only saw teasing and competitiveness. Your heart does not belong to me..."

Jiang Chuan Shang said in a low voice, his beautiful eyes were full of doubts. His eyes seemed to be able to speak, full of sorrow and pain for his body.

Facing Ekawakami's questioning, Ashiya Doman's eyes flickered. After all, he was too shameless to tell the truth, so he turned his head away and didn't look into Ekawakami's eyes.

"No way, you're mistaken. I absolutely like you, ever since the first time I saw you."

As Ashiya Doman spoke, he looked down and saw the golden mask hanging on his waist, with its tassels still swaying slightly.

After Abe Haruaki answered the guests, he saw Ashiya Doman entangled with Egawakami again. His blue-black eyes sank, and his voice became cold again. He looked at the two of them without any expression.

"Ashiya Doman, it's time to compete. Do you want to give up?"

"Tsk tsk, of course not. Why would I give up? I don't even have time to win."

Ashiya Doman looked at his followers and asked, "Let's start now. Tell us how to compete."

The follower who was caught in the middle again wanted to cry but had no tears. He forced an ugly smile with a droopy face. "The first game is the talisman competition. The two masters should carry talismans with them. You just need to stick the talismans on the two walls inside the palace, separate them from the middle door, and stick the left half to Master Qingming and the right half to Master Daoman. After that, whoever forces the ghost out or disperses it will win."

"It depends on whose spell is more powerful. If the weaker side retains more ghosts, then it loses. Of course, if the stronger side forces all the ghosts to the weaker side, then it also loses."

Abe Haruaki nodded, "So that's how it is."

Ashiya Doman simply snorted, not giving Abe Haruaki any face at all.
