Early spring and February are the days when the cherry blossoms bloom. As the spring breeze blows, there are also some pale pink petals that were blown away from the trees by the wind on the streets of Heianjing, but they are crushed by the rushing ox carts.

At this time, if you invite a friend or two to sit and drink together under the cherry tree, it is always the most pleasant.Although cherry blossoms are planted in most of the mansions, the most beautiful cherry blossoms in Heian-kyo is the mansion of the youngest onmyoji Abe Seimei.But apart from his close friend Yuan Boya, few people are willing to visit him unless they encounter problems such as ghosts.Not only because it is related to the rumor that he is a fox, but also because there are many shikigami in his house. After all, no one wants to inadvertently provoke this powerful onmyoji and cause unnecessary trouble.

But such a leisurely day seems to be me. Abe Seimei, who is lying half-lying lazily and on the outdoor corridor with wine cups and grilled sweetfish beside him, has a pleasant smile on his face, as if he didn’t see him sitting on the side His friend had a helpless expression, and didn't care about the pure white hunting clothes he was still wearing.

A gorgeously decorated ox cart is slowly moving forward on the street. Unlike ordinary ox carts, it is pulled by two strong black buffaloes. Although there is no driver on the cart, the buffaloes are moving forward steadily and tamely. It's like being born with the ability to recognize the road.Soon, the ox cart stopped in front of Abe's mansion, but the person who got out of the cart did not appear immediately. Instead, a cardboard box with fluttering wings flew out from under the curtain that was raised to reveal a gap, and crossed the courtyard wall. flew in.

"Qingming, another servant went missing from Hirata Shaonayan's house a few days ago. Everyone said that there was a ghost. Do you know what happened?" Putting down the wine cup in his hand, Yuan Boya looked at it seriously. Friends, hope to get an answer from him.

"I haven't seen this kind of thing with my own eyes, how could I know it. But, Boya, ghosts in people's hearts are often scarier than real ghosts." Abe Seimei sat up with a smile, and stretched out his hand to let a delicate The blue paper crane landed on his hand, "It seems that the guest I'm waiting for has arrived, Honey Bug, go and invite him in."

"Yes, my lord." With a reply, a woman with delicate features turned out from behind the screen in the room. She was wearing layers of lavender twelve singles. After saluting the two of them, she walked towards the door with graceful gait. Greet the guest that Abe Seimei mentioned.

Stretching out his hand to put the oxcart paper back into his sleeve, Wen Renbai followed the woman who came to greet him into the gate under the surprised eyes of passers-by.

With an interesting and lively layout, Wen Renbai casually walked behind the leading woman and looked at the house.It is similar to but completely different from the architectural style of the old country. It seems that the people here don’t care much about the symmetry of the architectural layout. In addition, there are a lot of plants planted on both sides of the curving path paved with stone slabs, so it feels like it lacks some houses. The due rigor, coupled with the constant thumping of water on the edge of the small pond, makes it appear more lively.

This mansion is not too big, so after bypassing the small pond, you can see a house. There are two men with very different styles sitting on the corridor of the house. Even the clothes are black and white in contrasting colors. .The man in black has a generous face that makes people feel too honest, while the other character in white has a good face. Coupled with his always smiling mouth and slender eyes, he looks a little weird.

"Welcome, Lord Amber." Abe Seimei still maintained a lazy and casual sitting posture, and pointed to the short table next to him, "There is wine here, and I will ask Mi Chong to make some food, how about enjoying the cherry blossoms together."

"Of course, the cherry blossoms here are beautiful." Wen Renbai sat down casually with a smile similar to Abe Seimei's. No one dared to let him sit down so politely, "Why don't you introduce me, this is—"

"He is Boya, Yuan Boya, my good friend." Abe Seimei picked up a small jug and poured a cup of wine in front of Wenrenbai, "Boya is a very good Yale family, of course, his status is also very noble , Boya has the blood of the royal family."

Yuan Boya helplessly called out, "Qingming."

"So Boya, am I wrong?" Abe Seimei blinked happily at him, only to get a more helpless expression from his friend.

"Royal bloodline? Impossible, that Yin-Yang Yuan family who claims to use magic to defy their fate doesn't seem to be a royal family." Wen Renbai reached out and knocked on the case table, and looked at Yuan Boya carefully, "You don't know magic skills, and you haven't cultivated them either. The aptitude to learn yin and yang, not to mention the appearance does not seem to come from that family."

Putting down the wine cup in his hand, Abe Seimei glanced at his best friend's astonished expression, and showed an interested smile on his face: "Bo Ya is indeed not from the Yin-Yang family whose inheritance has been cut off long ago, but since Master Amber mentioned them , presumably that rumor is also false."

Wen Renbai smiled and did not answer. Instead, he took out a gemstone shining in the sun from his wide sleeve and placed it in front of Yuan Boya: "Who knows about this kind of thing? There are too many people who have passed it on. Fake ones will also become real ones, here, I’ll take this for you to play with.”

"This, this is too precious, I—" Yuan Boya waved his hands and wanted to send this gem back to Wen Renbai's hands, because this is not an ordinary gem, but a rare gem even in the royal family. There are quite rare blue ambers.

However, Yuan Boya was blocked before he touched the piece of blue amber. Abe Seimei looked at Wen Renbai with a half-smile: "It's not good to do this. Boya is just an ordinary person. I'm afraid that such a valuable item will be placed with him." It will lead to disaster.”

"What's wrong, isn't there you by his side, as He Mao's proud disciple, he will be able to solve those little troubles safely, right?" Wen Renbai stretched out his finger and tapped the table lightly, "More What's more, this piece of amber has been blessed and can be used as a talisman."

"Even if this is the case, I'm afraid Boya will be frightened, so it's better to put it with me." The blue amber turned on Abe Seimei's finger and disappeared. After doing all this, he turned to Yuan Boya showed a sly smile.

Yuan Boya watched the amber owner curiously after Abe Seimei put away the blue amber.He looks very young and handsome, and his figure is taller than ordinary people, but he doesn't look strong and bloated.He wears a jade crown with hair, a long-sleeved gown, and instead of clogs, he wears silk boots with exquisite patterns. He looks like an aristocrat from the Tang Dynasty across the sea with the majesty of a high position. .The only fly in the ointment is that there is a shallow scar on one side of his cheek, which seems to have not fully healed.

"I am indeed from the country of Tang across the sea, but I have lived here for a long time." Wen Renbai said as if he had read Yuan Boya's mind.

"Hey, do you know how to read minds?" Yuan Boya looked extremely surprised, and couldn't help but look at his friend, "Qingming, do all onmyojis know how to read minds?"

Seeing his friend's confused expression, Abe Seimei couldn't help laughing, his friend is always so funny, how could he resist the occasional tease.He took a sip from the wine cup set aside and said slowly: "Bo Ya, people who can read minds are not necessarily onmyojis, they may also be demons, so a good person like Boya should be careful not to Be watched by them."

"Hey, Lord Amber is also—?" Yuan Boya opened his mouth, and swallowed back the word 'demon' that was about to come out, "Of course he is such an outstanding character."

"Well, how should I put it, Master Amber is not completely a monster. After all, there is no 'divinity' in a monster. I'm right." He picked up a grilled sweetfish and chewed it carefully in his mouth. Abe Seimei looked at Wen Renbai, who tilted his head and seemed to be seriously admiring the cherry blossoms, "It seems that the Amber Festival will be held in a few years, and the Amber Master just ran out without a follower, and your subordinates won't worry about it." what?"

"There's nothing to worry about. I'm not a child. It's really annoying to be nagged by guys like mothers all day long, and the festival is really boring." Wen Renbai's fingers brushed the side of his face before The wound healed, and he put the few strands of hair hanging down behind his ears and said casually, "Everyone likes beautiful things, it doesn't matter whether they have 'divinity' or not, not to mention that people's hearts are more terrifying than demons in many cases. , after all, demons are very simple and straightforward existences."

"If I hear your evaluation like this, I think your loyal subordinates will cry sadly." Although he said this, Abe Seimei's expression did not show any sympathy. With full banter.

Wen Renbai just smiled and didn't say anything else. He just concentrated his attention on the sake in front of him and the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard that he could see from the corridor.

A gust of wind blew in from a distance, and the cherry blossoms on the tree swayed rustlingly, a large number of petals detached from the branches, and swirled in mid-air with the wind.The pale pink petals fluttered and swayed, and then slowly fell to the ground when the wind stopped, just like a rain of petals before.

Wen Renbai's eyes were a little blurred, as if the strength of the sake he drank earlier came up, full of intoxication.There was a weird smile on his mouth, as if he was completely intoxicated by the scene.However, at this time, he still doesn't know that there is a certain corner of the country in the distant millennium.A tall brown-haired man in black with a silver cross pushed through a strange pet shop and walked in.

"Welcome to the pet store, what do you need?" The owner in a cheongsam showed a beautiful smile.
