Standing in the dark night, I still can't believe that he sent us out like this. A ghost who has been dead for thousands of years shouldn't be so easy to talk to. In my impression, those thousand-year-old ghosts are extremely vicious.

"What's your impression?" Duoduo said disdainfully, "that's all the impressions you read and the movies you read. Well, they are all imagined by humans, how can you be trusted?"

"Oh, that's true." I admitted, "Then why did he let us out?"

"There are two possibilities. One is as he said, I really want to find a descendant to teach his life what he has learned, and the other one I think he is afraid of!" Duoduo speculated, "No matter how powerful the Onmyoji was in his lifetime, it is just a spirit body after his death. It is very difficult for the spirit body to be cultivated into an entity. It is difficult for them to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, so he hid in this space because he was afraid that other Onmyoji would enslave him like he enslaved other ghosts."

Duoduo's inferences are generally very reasonable, and they can always look at things from the perspective of human nature, or from the dark side of human nature. I tend to be the second inference. Abe Harumaki did not show up when we first entered, but watched, just like other mistaken people.

Taking those two high school students as an example, they did not threaten Abe Harumi, so they became part of the ghost town. If we hadn't shown a certain strength, then our fates were the same as those two high school students.

As Abe Harumaki said, no matter how dazzling he was in his lifetime, he would become a ghost after his death. In order to avoid being caught by other demon-eliminators, he created a space for refuge for himself to protect himself. It was pitiful to think about it. Those who were so arrogant during their lifetime may just be pitiful people driven by others after their death.

"Don't be compassionate." Duoduo reminded, "Do you want to bring this mirror back?"

I was a little hesitant. Taking this mirror with me was like carrying a moving ghost library. Abe Harumaki could send us out and send other ghosts out. Think about it, a group of ghosts may appear around me at any time in the future, which is even more exciting than watching horror movies.

Besides, I don’t know much about this Onmyoji and don’t know good or evil, if he is...

"Don't think about it anymore, it's really unbearable." Duoduo shouted, "The strong don't need to consider these things. The weak can only obey in front of us. Will you spend time thinking about the possible threat an ant may pose to you? It's just a small Onmyoji. Even the most powerful Onmyoji is just an ant in our eyes."

I understand Duoduo’s meaning. This is because we look at the problem from different perspectives. Duoduo, as a demon king, does not need to consider the threat of an Onmyoji, but as an ordinary person, I have to consider it. Being cautious is a habit I have developed in life and it is difficult to change it for a while.

I finally chose to take the ancient mirror away. When we walked back to the villa in the night, Shizuko was waiting anxiously. Sometimes it was a kind of happiness to have someone waiting for you, which made me feel like home.

"Senior, what is this?" After greeting each other, Shizuko became curious about the ancient mirror I was holding.

"Can you see?" I said in surprise.

"Well, is there anything special?" Shizuko asked in confusion, "It's just a mirror."

According to Abe Harumaki, those who can see the ancient mirror are all those with abnormal abilities. Does Shizuko also have extraordinary abilities?

"Not discovered yet, it's just an ordinary human." Duoduo concluded after checking, "Maybe I've been with you for a long time, so I have a feeling about some supernatural objects."

Maybe, but I am more interested in the character Abe Harimei now.

"Shizuko, do you know Abe Haraki?" I asked.

"Senior, are you referring to that Haruki Abe?" Shizuko hesitated.

"I lived about a thousand years ago and was an Onmyoji, and it is said to be very powerful." I roughly described it.

"That's Lord Harumaki, he is a household legend." Shizuko said respectfully, "He is the greatest Onmyoji in history, and there are countless legendary stories about him..."

In Shizuko's description, I learned that Abe's status in Japan is just like Jiang Ziya's status in China. He was the great Onmyoji who lived in the Heian era a thousand years ago. He was the master of the Yin-Yang Taoist path. He can be said to be a person who inherited the past and opened the future.

At that time, Japan was an era where demons, grudges, ghosts and humans lived together. Onmyoji became an important force in maintaining social stability. At that time, Japan had the Onmyoji department, which was responsible for observing astronomy, meteorology, divination, and formulating calendars.

The most legendary ones are all kinds of ghost stories. Onmyoji exorcises ghosts and monsters, has high magic power and is omnipotent. Although there is suspicion of exaggeration, judging from the ghosts in the ghost town in the mirror world, Abe Harumaki was indeed a very amazing character during his lifetime.

"Then is this Lord Qingming kind or..." I asked carefully.

From Shizuko's narrative, I learned that the Japanese had a strong admiration for this Abe Haraki, and seemed to be a deified character.

"Of course, Lord Harumaki is kind." Shizuko said naturally, "He has been protecting the peace of Kyoto City throughout his life. He holds large-scale memorial activities every year in Kyoto. Senior, what do you ask about these things?"

"I'm just curious." I looked for an excuse, "You know that I work in the Demon Elimination Firm and do things to deal with ghosts. Of course, I have to understand the glorious deeds of these seniors in the industry so that I can be prevented before it happens."

"In this way, then the senior will become a great Onmyoji!" Shizuko said excitedly.

"I'm still far from it, I need to keep working hard." I said perfunctorily.

I am not interested in becoming an Onmyoji. It sounds like the most powerful thing about Onmyoji is Shikigami. As for divination and prophecy, it seems nonsense. But Shikigami is nothing more than driving ghosts to fight for himself, and his combat power may not be very strong.

"You are wrong. Shikigami is also divided into strength and weakness. This is related to the energy of the summoner himself. The human Shikigami is too weak, so I can summon powerful creatures from different time and space to fight for me." Duoduo said proudly.

"You mean it's like summoning giant beasts or demons from another world in magic novels..."

"There are many different time and space in this world. As long as you can break through the space energy barrier, you can force other creatures to this space. At that time, you can control it by signing a master-servant contract with it." Duoduo said casually.
