Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 174 Bamboo Girl
After a good night's sleep, Chen Beibei woke up at noon the next day.

The people who came to look for the dog god envoys before had traveled a long distance and were already very tired.

At noon, sleeping in the stone room, the doors and windows were closed, not even a ray of sunlight, and when I woke up, there was no way to guess the time.

"Chen Yan, what time is it?"

Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan who was playing with the Shikigami, and asked her.

"Chen Beibei, you finally woke up. It's already past twelve o'clock. Seeing that you haven't woken up, we didn't call you. We didn't want to disturb your rest."

Chen Yan said.

It's like sleeping in a room with the curtains drawn so that you don't even know the time.

When I suddenly realized that it was so late, I couldn't help but couldn't believe it.

"Really?"

"Ah."

Chen Yan would not usually lie to others, especially in front of Chen Beibei.

Since Chen Yan was already so sure, Chen Beibei had no reason not to believe it.

Chen Beibei quickly got up from the bed, then opened the door and went out.

When Chen Beibei opened the door, the woman who had been pouring wine for Chen Beibei and the old man was standing outside his room door.

"My lord, you are awake."

The woman bowed low and said to Chen Beibei.

That faint fragrance lingered around Chen Beibei, making him sober up: "Why are you here?"

"Master Teak, let me wait for you at the door, and when you wake up, let me take you there to have breakfast together."

"Early... breakfast?"

It was past twelve o'clock now, and since he was here to invite him to have breakfast, Chen Beibei thought he had heard it wrong.

"Ah."

Xiaozhu nodded and said to Chen Beibei.

Since he was here to ask him to eat breakfast, the woman had been waiting for at least three or four hours. Thinking of this, Chen Beibei couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Miss Zhuzi, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for too long."

The woman smiled slightly, the smile was very sweet, and the smell floating in the air was also a sweet and greasy smell.

It is a very suitable taste, not very strong, and it feels very comfortable.

"My lord is our master's friend. Please don't call me Miss. I'm not that kind of noble person. Please be the same as your master. Just call me Xiao Zhu."

Xiaozhu looked at Chen Beibei and said seriously.

Xiaozhu's demeanor is very decent, whether he talks or walks, it is all within a comfortable range.

Chen Beibei brought his shikigami and followed the woman to the old man's room.

The old man's room is the place where they drank tea and wine together before.

The torches on the stone wall have always been burning like this, and once they burn out, Xiaozhu will replace them with new torches immediately to ensure that the whole house will not be plunged into darkness.

Kawahira Teak is far away from the world, and living alone in such a place is already very lonely.

If you still let him stay in a dark space, the feeling of loneliness will be infinitely magnified.

Although Chuanping Yuki never said it, Zhuzi still understood it very well.

Bamboo is such a caring and considerate woman.

There are some meals and a jar of wine on the table.

Chen Beibei had drunk enough yesterday.

Seeing the wine now, I couldn't help feeling a little panicked, so I secretly said in my heart: "Don't drink any more."

"Chen Beibei come and sit down."

The old man looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

The original breakfast has now been replaced by a noon meal.

The food prepared before was removed from the bamboo.

Chen Beibei didn't come, and Chuanping Yuki didn't bother to eat alone.

Seeing Chen Beibei sitting on the chair, Chuanping Yuki began to move his chopsticks: "Come on, Chen Beibei, you must be hungry. Eat quickly, you're welcome."

The old man first picked up some carp meat and ate it.

Chen Beibei also started to eat.

Zhuzi has been standing quietly by the dining table, exuding a faint fragrance from his body, with a half-hearted smile on his face.

Even if I look at her occasionally, I feel very comfortable.

It will not make people feel uncomfortable because someone is standing by while eating.

The food was delicious and the wine was delicious.

Although Chen Beibei didn't intend to drink, he couldn't help but started drinking.

For some reason, with the old man, Chen Beibei's drinking capacity has also improved a lot.

If it was in the small town of Qinghe, Chen Beibei should be drunk after drinking two or three glasses of baijiu.

Yesterday Chen Beibei accompanied the old man to drink, at least he drank dozens of cups, but he was only half drunk and half awake, not completely drunk.

Moreover, when Chen Beibei was with the old man, he would feel a sense of enjoyment when drinking.

The aroma of wine.

Entering the throat and flowing into the viscera, no matter which process it is, it is very enjoyable.

The only pity is that the drinking scenes are a little boring.

In a closed room!
If it is a summer night, the fireflies are flying, the insects are singing in the ears, the cool wind is blowing the body, and there is a full moon in the sky.

Chen Beibei would feel that this was the most wonderful moment in the world.

The hot body after drinking is blown by the cool wind.

The full moon in the sky makes people think of some beautiful things in their hearts.

Maybe it's a friend from far away, a relative at home, or even a woman you love.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Chen Beibei couldn't help but sigh with regret.

"Chen Beibei, why are you sighing?"

Sensing Chen Beibei's sigh, the old man hurriedly asked.

"Master Teak, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly realized that we were drinking in a closed stone room. Obviously the wine is so mellow, the dishes are so delicious, and the drinkers and pourers are perfect. It’s just that there are some shortcomings in the scene, which makes people feel a little regretful.”

Chen Beibei answered truthfully.

The smile on the old man's face disappeared, and he looked forward. The end of his line of sight was a cold stone wall three or four meters away.

The hands trembled involuntarily, and the wine in the wine glass swayed in circles of water.

"Master Teak,..."

The woman called Chuahira Yuki worriedly.

The old man slowly came back to his senses, looked away, lowered his head, and looked at the wine in his hand.

Then he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Kawahira teak has been around for so many years.

Having spent most of his life in such a place, Chen Beibei knew that he would have many regrets in this life.

Longing for the outside world.

In memory of my dead wife.

And things that have never been forgotten in the past.

"Master Yuki, do you want to go out and have a look?"

Chen Beibei asked.

Chen Beibei felt that for him, seeing the outside world should be one of the things he most wanted to do.

"I used to think about it, but I don't want to now. I'm old, so what if I go out and see the outside world?"

"Is there anything Master Yumu wants to do? I drank so much wine and ate so many delicious dishes here. Please let me help you fulfill your long-cherished wish, if I can do it."

Chen Beibei looked at Chuanping Teak and said seriously.

Now that he has come here, he faces this person who is also an onmyoji like himself.

Chen Beibei naturally didn't want him to die with regrets.

"Chen Beibei,..."

The old man picked up the wine glass in his hand: "Come, let's have a drink."

The two of them drank the wine in the cup together!

"Right now, the only things I can worry about are Bamboo and Inugami. My time is approaching. Humans can't do anything against the sky, even an onmyoji. I hope that after I die, you can take good care of Bamboo and Inugami. "

The Inugami is stronger than the Shikigami in Chen Beibei's hands.

"Master Teak,..."

Bamboo took a step forward involuntarily, his voice trembling, as if he was about to cry.

Inugami just stood there, clenching his teeth, showing no other expression.

"Master Teak, you are still in good health, and you should be able to live for a long time. Please, Master Teak, please don't say death, death, etc. in the future."

Chen Beibei looked at Chuanping Teak and said to him.

Kawahira Yuki's body does look very healthy. If he hadn't known in advance that he was almost 90 years old, he would never have felt that he was so old.

So Chen Beibei's words also came from the heart.

"Chen Beibei, I am an Onmyoji, and I am very clear about my own fate. So I am telling the truth. I can't live for a long time. It will be midnight in three days' time."

When Kawahira Yuki said this, his expression was very serious, not like he was joking.

Even if Chen Beibei didn't believe it, it was possible.

"Master Yuki, I will promise you. I will take care of Bamboo and Inugami for you."

Chen Beibei replied.

Onmyoji can do divination to know what will happen in the future.

So it's not uncommon for people to know when they die.

Even some monks with some cultivation can do it.

The woman standing aside had tears streaming down her eyes.

On the lips of Inugami, a trace of bright red blood slowly flowed down.This is because when he gritted his teeth, he was too hard.

But neither the woman nor the dog god spoke, and just stood there.

Kawahira Teak is their master.

In front of the host, you should not show your negative emotions, nor should you interrupt casually.

……

Finished lunch.

Chen Beibei and the old man walked out of the stone house and walked along the corridor, which is the way Chen Beibei and the others came.

"Do you want to cover your eyes?"

Chen Beibei asked.

When they came here before, Inugami asked them to cover their eyes.

After all, the Inugami family lives here to stay away from human beings and not to participate in false disputes in the world.

So it's understandable that they don't want their location to be known by humans.

"Chen Beibei, no need. Three days later, our Dog God Envoy clan will completely disappear from this world. Even if people find out, it doesn't matter."

Kawahira Yuki said as he walked.

"Master Yuzuki, you will not disappear completely. Human beings will remember you. There are many legends handed down from your Inujinshi family in the Heian era, and these will be the proof of your existence. Even now, I will not forget Master Yumu , and Master Tantric, and a surname named Chuanping."

"Well, it is also a happy thing to be remembered."

Chen Beibei looked at Master Yumu and said to him.

Soon everyone came out, the sun's rays irritating their eyes.

The time in the stone house is too long, and everyone is a little unaccustomed to the sun's rays.

But you can get used to it soon.

Chen Beibei and the others are now on top of a mountain, a very high mountain.

If you look far away, your sight will not be hindered by anything.

There is a feeling of seeing all the mountains and small mountains at a glance.

But even if the line of sight is not obstructed, you can see the end all the time.

But the end is nothing but blue mountains, blue sky, and white clouds.

Even with your eyes open, there is no way to know where you are.

"Chen Beibei, tonight, we will enjoy the moon and drink here, how do you feel?"

Chuanping Yuki looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

When Kawahira Yuki said this, there was a smile on his face, with a feeling of relief.

It's like, from now on, nothing needs to be considered.

Just simply enjoy the process of drinking.

"Yeah." Chen Beibei nodded, and continued: "Since Lord Teak has already mentioned it, then I will take it upon myself to accompany you."

……

night.

On top of the mountains, Inugami moved out the table and chairs.

Bamboo prepared the food and wine.

At this time, it was not long before spring began, and a lot of grass grew on the ground.

When you step on it, there will be some grass fragrance and moisture seeping out.

Chen Beibei and Chuanping Teak sat on the chair together, the sky was full of stars and a newborn crescent moon.

The new moon is like a willow leaf that just came out in early spring, thin and long.

Among the bushes, a few unnamed birds stood quietly.

Appears to have fallen asleep.

Even though Chen Beibei and the old man were drinking and chatting, they didn't wake up the little birds.

This time, Chen Beibei and the old man just chatted about some past events.

It's about old people.

But more about Chen Beibei.

After all, Chen Beibei had already learned about the Dog God Envoys and Chuanping Teak before.

But Chuanping Yuki still didn't know anything about Chen Beibei.

What Chen Beibei told the old man was just his daily life with monsters.

and some memorable scenes.

The woman floating in the river was salvaged and put on the bluestone board for washing clothes.

In the peach blossom forest, there is a sea of ​​pink flowers passing by.

An abused but kind little girl.

Perverted photographer.

There are also monks crushed to death by Buddha statues.

Chen Beibei will always remember these experiences until he grows old.Can't remember what happened in the past, and then die.

"Chen Beibei, you are really an unqualified onmyoji."

Kawahira Yuki said.

Chen Beibei recognized his identity as an onmyoji, and he also hoped that he could do things that fit this identity.

But Yin Yang has not been refined, which is also a very helpless thing.

"However... maybe an onmyoji like you would be more suitable for this era."

Kawahira Yuki continued speaking with a very serious expression.

　Hee hee, hug the new friend~
