Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 377 Yoshiwara Outlying Islands 5
outlying islands.

Gu Huo Niao and Inugami had already left Chen Beibei and the others, and Chen Beibei, Taketori Umeichiro and the others were only staying on the coast for the time being.

after all.

In such a place, because the view is relatively wide, it is relatively safe.

"Master, do we have to wait here all the time?"

Yingcao looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

At this time, Chen Beibei didn't know what to do. After all, there should be other people on the outlying island.

If you act rashly, there are still some risks.

As for the Liren Pavilion, it is definitely not possible to go now, because those people are likely to be in the Liren Pavilion. It would be fine if they were ordinary people.

but.

Those people may not be ordinary people.

After all, ordinary people should not come to Yoshiwara outlying islands when the road is closed, and it is still when Shiranui is coming.

"In short, let's wait for Guhuo Niao and Inugami to come back."

Chen Beibei looked at Yingcao and replied to her.

Gu Huo Niao and Inugami are now going to the Liren Pavilion to find those people. If they are the two of them, they should be able to find out the identities of those people.

after all.

Guhuo Niao and Inugami are two very powerful shikigami.

"Ah."

Yingcao nodded.

Now everyone has to wait here, but during the waiting time, Umeichiro Taketori began to tell the story of Shiranui.

……

Breeze, new moon.

Ah Li practiced the singing and dancing girl skills taught by his predecessors over and over again, raising his hand, holding the fan, turning around, and every movement has been repeated countless times.

At this time, Ah Li was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he hadn't shown his dancing posture in front of people's eyes.

The boss of Liren Pavilion never let Ah Li leave Liren Pavilion.

He didn't even let Ah Li appear in front of outsiders. Ah Li just lived in the Liren Pavilion like this, and the most people he saw every day were his maids and seniors.

The maid is a well-behaved little girl who has served A Li since she was a child.

The senior is a mature singer. The current senior has gradually aged, but even so, his appearance is still extremely beautiful.

"A Li, you will definitely become the number one singer in Yoshihara."

This is what the senior said to A Li, and when the senior said this, there were always some complicated emotions in his eyes.

It seems to be happy, but it also seems to be uncomfortable.

"Senior was Yoshihara's most popular singer before, right?"

Ali asked.

Seniors don't answer this question every time. Yoshihara's most popular singer suddenly disappeared at the age of 26.

No one knows where she went.

"Follow the one you love, let's live somewhere else together."

Some people guessed so.

"Maybe...he's dead."

It was also guessed so.

At that time, the senior was a geisha in a geisha hall in Yoshihara, not a diva in Liren Pavilion, after she suddenly disappeared.

The geisha hall soon became eclipsed in Yoshiwara, which is full of flowers.

"Senior, many stories must have happened to you, right?"

A Li always has a lot of curiosity about his seniors.

but.

Every time, the senior would not answer A Li's question. The senior was a little serious, especially in singing and dancing skills, whenever A Li made some small mistakes.

The seniors would accuse Ah Li and make her repeat that action over and over again.

This is Ali's life.

Ah Li likes his seniors, and also likes his maid, but sometimes, he doesn't know why he does these things every day.

First show.

It was when A Li was 16 years old. At that time, A Li was still a little green, but the performance was a great success.

The boss of Liren Pavilion.

senior.

maid.

guests.

Everyone was very happy, but Ah Li felt as if... he was just an outsider...

She has been practicing singing and dancing skills.

Practice all the time, day and night.

Is it just to please others?
……

The senior left the outlying island by boat one night after A Li's performance, and since then, A Li has never seen the senior again.

And about the most popular singer in Yoshihara.

There is no one to discuss it anymore.

No one discussed whether she left with her beloved or died somewhere.

because.

People now have a new topic, that is Liren Pavilion's singer A Li, A Li's performance has already amazed the guests who went to Liren Pavilion at that time.

Of course, no one knew how much Ah Li had paid for this day.

No.

It should be how long the boss of Liren Pavilion has prepared for this day. A Li was adopted 16 years ago. Yoshiwara's most popular singer disappeared ten years ago. The singer A Li is on this day. Once on stage.

……

The boss adopted Ah Li.

So A Li has been staying in Liren Pavilion, performing for the boss, and repaying the boss' kindness.

of course.

For the boss, A Li has always been very respectful, because he is indeed very good, he is like this to A Li, and he is also like this to A Li's maid.

in case.

The onmyoji did not appear.

perhaps……

Such days will continue until Ah Li gradually grows old, and then disappears in front of everyone just like his predecessors.

The name of that onmyoji was He Maoyixin.

When A Li met her for the first time, she was used to performing in front of everyone. At that time, A Li had already become the number one singer in Yoshihara.

Whenever Ah Li performed.

People gathered in the waters around the outlying islands, and the lights on the fishing boats lit up the sky, just like the scene of the legendary big monster Shiranui coming.

Diva A Li also has an extra name.

That is Shiranui!

……

Ka Moyoshi went to outlying islands to find the legendary monster, Shiranui.

When He Maoyixin arrived on the outlying island, it happened to be the night of the new moon, which was also the day when the diva A Li was performing on stage, and the crowd shouted Shiranui's name.

After Ah Li's performance ended.

He Maoyixin, who didn't find Shiranui, rowed a boat in the sea around the outlying island sadly, but ran into the singer A Li.

When Ah Li was performing, He Maoyi wrote a waka with his heart.

therefore.

Ah Li came to look for He Maoyi.

……

Although Ah Li on the stage was amazing, he had the feeling of being under the lights and seeing the bustling from a distance.

Although beautiful.

But there is a sense of unreality.

And when Ah Li was wearing his usual light blue clothes and dancing on the sea, He Maoyi was really shocked.

Sea water, moonlight, Ali.

That night was a very important night for Ah Li and He Maoyi, because something began to sprout from their hearts.

In the following days.

Lord Ota, the lord of Yoshihara City, wanted to meet A Li many times and sent him valuable items, which is also a rule.

Ali would refuse every time.

According to the rules, Ah Li should refuse Mr. Ota's invitation to meet twice and return the gift, or refuse three times, four times... whatever.

after all.

At that time, Ah Li was already an oiran.

Rejecting other people's invitations to meet is what every oiran must do. This is to make others feel hard to get.

And people tend to cherish these hard-to-get things more.

When the boss of Liren Pavilion realized that Ah Li's refusal was not a technique, but a sincere desire to refuse.

The boss of Liren Pavilion was angry.

Lord Yoshihara, Ota-sama, was also angry.

"Reject Ota-sama, where will you put Liren Pavilion?"

The tone in which the boss of Liren Pavilion questioned Ah Li made Ah Li feel an uncomfortable feeling.Not because of the pain of blame.

Instead.

Ali feels...

The boss of Liren Pavilion didn't seem to care about him.

A Li has always respected the boss of Liren Pavilion very much. After all, he adopted him, and A Li is also doing his best to sing and dance for him.

The boss of Liren Pavilion didn't ask Ah Li why he rejected Mr. Ota.

Rather say.

If you reject Master Ota, where will you place Liren Pavilion?

There is a very obvious difference. If the boss of Liren Pavilion asked Ah Li why he rejected Mr. Ota, then Ah Li would not feel bad.

because.

It can be seen from it that the boss of Liren Pavilion cares about Ah Li.

but.

From what the boss of Liren Pavilion said after being angry, it can be seen that only the boss of Liren Pavilion cares about Liren Pavilion.

in later time.

The days passed peacefully for a while.

However, at some point, Yoshihara began to have a rumor, that is... the rumor that the diva A Li is the monster Shiranui.

soon.

This kind of rumor swept across the entire Yoshihara.

It wasn't until, on the next new moon night, when people held torches, swords, guns, bows and arrows towards the outlying islands, did Ah Li realize it.

Yourself.

Perhaps, nothing.

I am the singer A Li, the oiran A Li, and the monster Shiranui.

But?
Are you really these?

Not really.

……

Diva A Li finally turned into a big monster Shiranui.

And Kamo Yoshin, was shot in the eye by Yoshiwara Castle Master Ota-sama when he was rescuing the singer A Li.

then.

People have never seen it again, Diva A Li.

……

"Why do you know so clearly about the singer A Li?"

Chen Beibei looked at Taketori Umeichiro and asked him.

Although Chen Beibei was fascinated by the story of the singer A Li, Chen Beibei couldn't help but feel puzzled.

after all.

What Taketori Umeichiro said did not exist in the legend of the great monster Shiranui.

Umeichiro Taketori still didn't answer Chen Beibei's question.

Chen Beibei didn't continue to ask questions.

Now Umeichiro Taketori has come to outlying islands, and tomorrow night is the time for the great monster Shiranui to descend.

all the answers.

Because it will be revealed when the big monster Shiranui comes.

……

It was already night when Guhutiao and Inugami came back.

Chen Beibei and the others returned to the hot spring hotel. Charcoal fire was burning on the stove with a jug of wine and some dishes on it.

"How's it going?"

Chen Beibei looked at Guhuo Niao and Inugami and asked them.

Both Gu Huo Niao and Inu Shen were not injured, so they should not have fought with those people. Regarding this, Chen Beibei is still very relieved.

"There is a pattern of sasa gentian on the clothes, it may be Genji Onmyouji."

Gu Huo Niao replied.

Before that, Guhuo Niao had met a Genji Onmyoji, and Sasa Gendan was Genji's family crest, and many people would embroider the family crest on flags and even clothes.

"Genji Onmyoji?"

Chen Beibei frowned. After all, Genji Onmyoji was already a force that should not be underestimated in the Heian era.

after all.

The surname Genji already represents everything.

Now meeting Genji Onmyouji on the outlying islands, this is quite troublesome for Chen Beibei and the others.

"Do you know why they are here?"

Chen Beibei looked at Guhuo Niao and Inugami, and continued to ask.

At this time, Chen Beibei still felt very troublesome about Genji Onmyoji. After all, it is still unknown how powerful Genji Onmyoji is.

The former Yaotou Ji, Onikiri and some other shikigami belonged to Genji.

"I don't know yet, but it should be because of Shiranui. After all, tomorrow is the time for Shiranui to come. Genji Onmyoji probably wants to fight Shiranui."

Gu Huoniao looked at Chen Beibei and replied to him.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei nodded, and then said.

Shiranui has been on Yoshiwara Outlying Island for a long time, such a big monster must be coveted by Onmyoji.

after all.

If you subdue Shiranui as a shikigami, then you should be able to make yourself a lot stronger.

……

Day three.

After Chen Beibei and everyone woke up, they still just stayed in the hot spring hotel, while Guhuo Niao and Inugami continued to follow those onmyojis.

Right now, Chen Beibei and the others don't plan to meet Genji Onmyoji directly.

after all.

If they meet, there may still be some collisions.

Instead of this, it's better to wait until Shiranui arrives, see what those Genji onmyojis are going to do, and then adapt accordingly.

……

"Guhuo Bird, let's go."

Inugami looked at Guhuotiao and said to her.

At this time, Guhuo Niao and Inugami were almost approaching the Liren Pavilion, and those Genji Onmyojis were all in the Liren Pavilion.

"Ah."

Gu Huo Niao nodded, but did not speak.

From now on, they will not talk. For Guhuo Niao and Inugami, there is actually a tacit understanding between them.

When to do what.

You only need to give a look, and you can probably understand.

And now that they are close to Liren Pavilion, their voices may be heard by others. Even when they are walking, Guhuo Niao and Inugami walk very lightly.

Liren Pavilion.

A group of onmyojis in black hunting clothes were sitting around and talking about something. Their clothes were all embroidered with red sasa gentian patterns.

The Genji Onmyoji who followed Crane Weng before was also among them.

But that Onmyoji's shikigami, Phoenix Fire, has left him, and now he should not have any powerful shikigami.

Gu Huo Niao and Inugami could only hide outside the Liren Pavilion.

The distance from those onmyojis is also very far, so there is no way to hear what those onmyojis are talking about...

　Going to work...
