long way home

After Abe Seimei became a teacher from his teacher Ka Mo Takayuki, he built his residence at Tsuchimie Gate, because that is the direction of the ghost gate of Heian-kyo, and the fact that he exists there is the guardian of the ghost gate.

Of course, this also reflects that Abe Seimei is extremely powerful as an onmyoji. After all, not just any psychic has the guts to live near the ghost gate.

He Si and the others followed Abe Masahiro across a bridge and arrived at Abe's house.

It was late at night, and even the servants had rested.But the Abe House is not an ordinary mansion after all. There are many existences that ordinary people cannot see here, and they can provide services for the owner of the mansion around the clock.

Two maids with delicate features opened the courtyard door and welcomed the guests into the courtyard.

Although the attire and movements of these two women are the same as ordinary people, the arcs of their smiles are exactly the same, as if engraved on their faces, revealing a trace of disharmony in this late night.

Seeing Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki looking at the maid curiously, Masahiro Abe explained, "This is Grandpa's shikigami."

Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki scratched the hair on the back of his head, "Oh, it's not human! I just thought it was weird."

Tianyi saluted Fujiwara Zhangzi, "Zhang Ziji, please come with me, I will take you to tidy up your appearance."

The Twelve Divine General Zhong Tianyi is the most gentle and considerate. She noticed Zhang Zi's scattered clothes and broken clogs because of his escape early in the morning, and at this moment she naturally and considerately helped Zhang Zi.

Zhangzi was very grateful and hurriedly agreed.So Tianyi took Zhangzi and Keiko to the guest room to entertain the female guests.

The little monster (Honglian) lying on Changhao's shoulder said, "Changhao, you also go to the room to change clothes and bandage the wound from before."

"But the guests still..." Masahiro Abe felt that he couldn't just leave He Si and the others aside.

Before he finished speaking, the mob grabbed Changhao by the ear and pulled him away, "What are you talking about? Just leave the rest to Qingming."

The maid transformed into a shikigami bowed to He Si and the others, then turned around to lead them the way.

The house where Abe Seimei lives is very different from the neatly trimmed houses of the nobles in Heiankyo.

Numerous unknown flowers and plants grow densely and luxuriantly all over the courtyard.The entire courtyard seems to have not been trimmed at all, it looks like an abandoned house in the mountains.

However, a closer inspection reveals that the landscape here is not simply wilderness, but has a strange order.

There are many types of flowers and plants in the courtyard, and some are few, but overall, the proportion is just right.

Although it is impossible to subtly express where this order exists in words, it is probably the strange order that makes this courtyard look like a different kind of charm.

The maid opened the paper door of the main house, and an old man in a white hunting suit was sitting inside.

The old man was holding a book in one hand, and flipped the astrology disk beside him with the other. Against the fragrance of flowers and plants in the courtyard, he showed an indescribable aura.

Although his face has been eroded by the years, his temples are stained with frost and snow, and his face is covered with wrinkles, but his eyes are extremely bright and clear, making him hale and hearty.

Even though he is very old, he still can't hide his beauty.

This is to eclipse the peers of the entire era, just like a bright moon covering all the stars in the sky, looking at the great onmyoji who is unparalleled in ancient and modern times-Abe Seimei.

Abe Seimei put the scroll in his hand on the table beside him, and made an invitation gesture, "Forgive me for not being able to welcome you. Some guests may wish to come in and discuss in detail."

He Si and Diarmuid walked into the house first, followed by several men with swords.

The two shikigami maids closed the paper door, bowed deeply and disappeared, and two pieces of paper cut into human shapes fluttered down in the air.

Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki quietly picked up a piece of paper figurine, checked it over and over again, but no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary piece of white paper.

Yamabuki Kunihiro gave him a veiled look, signaling him to calm down and stop making so many petty moves.

Across a table, He Si sat opposite Abe Seimei, and Diarmuid knelt down behind him on the left.

Several men with swords stood in a row behind them, with knives around their waists, they looked extraordinarily imposing.

As if they felt that they could not lose the battle, several generals who had been in the house but did not show their figures also released their invisibility.I saw a few figures behind Abe Seimei slowly appearing from feet to head accompanied by wonderful light and shadow effects.

"Hahaha!" Abe Seimei looked back at the generals who appeared behind him without being summoned, and said with a smile: "Qinglong, Liuhe, Xuanwu, Taiyin, Taishang, Tianhou, why are you all out? Do you think I can't entertain guests well, old man?"

Feng Jiang Taiyin, one of the twelve generals, looks like a girl with twin ponytails. She is usually not too big or small to Qingming, the master. At this moment, she joked, "What! We just came to see how Qingming behaved in front of the guests. It's a joke!"

Shuijiang Xuanwu is a young man who looks about the same age as Taiyin, with a cold personality, so he usually watches over Taiyin to prevent her from causing trouble.At this time, Xuanwu complained expressionlessly with a paralyzed face: "I don't know who it is, but when they saw the number of people on the other side, they bluffed and dragged us out to cheer Qingming."

"Hmph!" Wooden General Qinglong folded his arms around his chest and snorted coldly, "I just wanted to keep Qingming from messing around again, so I didn't worry about you!"

Shuijiang Tianhou and Tujiang Taishang looked at each other, and smiled knowingly, neither of them pointed out the awkward guy Qinglong.

Mujiang Liuhe bowed his head in silence, his brown hair covered the expression on his face, but he was standing closest to Abe Seimei.Once there is any change on the opposite side, Liuhe's position is also the most convenient to attack and resist.

At this moment, He Si seemed to have realized, turning his head and looking up at Jiren behind him, "Huh? Why are you still standing? Sit down! You came all the way to Ping'an Jing, and got involved in the battle without taking a good rest. Aren't you tired?"

Diarmuid really wanted to answer his master, whether it was himself or the men with swords and swords, they were all experienced warriors, and this journey and battle was nothing to them.However, considering his own lord's face, he still didn't explain it to He Si, the only person who didn't participate in the battle but really felt tired (war five scum).

So Diarmuid just turned his head and nodded to the men with swords and swords behind him, signaling that they don't need to be on guard and can take a rest for a while.

So the men with swords put down their vigilance and sat down one by one behind He Si and Diarmuid.

"Hahaha! Since it is your kindness, my lord, then we should be respectful and obedient. After all, I am also an old man..." Mikazuki Zongjin was just thinking about it as usual, when he teased himself that he was an old man who was relying on his old man to sell his old man, when he saw Abe on the opposite side Seimei suddenly swallowed the words on his lips.Then he casually slapped haha ​​as if nothing had happened, "After all, I've been exhausted all day."

Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki was still a little puzzled why this Zhenping old sword suddenly changed his mind, didn't he usually take this opportunity to trick their sympathy into taking care of him?Just as he was about to say something, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Higekiri and Kemaru sitting upright and meticulous, with a particularly serious expression on their faces.

Not only the Genji brothers, but Yamabashi Kiri Kunihiro and Yaken Toshiro, who usually behave seriously and attentively, have similar attitudes.

Under the influence of his companions, the string in Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki's head was finally connected, and he calmed down and waited obediently for the next talk.

On the other side, Abe Seimei also appeased his dishonest generals, leaving only Liuheyi as a guard, and let the other generals go back to another world.

"Presumably everyone knows about my affairs. Then, I will stop gossip." With just this sentence, Abe Seimei revealed incredible information.

Although Abe Seimei is a great onmyoji who is well-known in Heian-kyo, his practice of onmyoji has always been mysterious, and his life experience is particularly legendary.So dare to say that there are really not many people who know him except for two or three relatives and friends.Now that he is so sure that these strangers in front of him know him very well as soon as he comes up, it is equivalent to bluntly pointing out the identity of He Si and others as "future people".

Diarmuid and the swordsmen both thought of this, and suddenly felt that Abe Seimei was worthy of being the most famous onmyoji in the world, and had a more intuitive understanding of his abilities, and felt that he was more and more unpredictable.

But, it happens that the real caller on their side is still out of the situation.

He Si is a person who has difficulty grasping the key points of the other party's words, or because of his own wonderful experience, it is difficult for him to match the way of thinking with ordinary people.Although he is indeed very smart, he always has "poor contact" with other people's "undertones".

So He Si had doubts about Abe Seimei, so he asked, "I'm not from Fusang, so I don't know you well. I heard that Mr. Abe is the son of a white fox. Is this true?"

Diarmuid raised his forehead, his lord was still like this, always confused about the point.

Liuhe, who was listening, frowned displeasedly, feeling that the other party asked such a question, which was vaguely offensive.

However, Abe Seimei didn't care, but was slightly surprised that He Si didn't understand what he meant.But he has lived to such a great age, ask himself what kind of person has he not seen?

Even because he often dealt with those aristocratic courtiers with treacherous hearts in Heian-kyo, Abe Seimei admired a simple and straightforward person like He Si even more.

"Haha! Although the rumors are unbelievable, my mother is indeed of the Tianhu family." Abe Seimei admitted with a smile that this should be extremely secretive matter, and then winked mischievously at He Si, " But this is a secret, don't tell anyone!"

Liuhe felt that his master was too reckless, so he exposed his bloodline just like that.He knows that many people have the idea that people who are not of my race must have different hearts.He has been with Abe Seimei for most of his life, and he has met many people who are afraid to avoid Seimei just because of rumors, and now...

"So that's how it is!" He Si clenched his left hand and tapped his open right palm, "No wonder you have so much spiritual power!"

Even Abe Seimei did not expect that He Si's attitude towards this matter was pure admiration and envy.In the past, those who accepted their very blood only recognized him from the fact that he still has a human appearance.

However, He Si showed such a calm expression of "existence is reasonable", which really surprised Abe Seimei.

Although Abe Seimei felt that He Si was not as young as he looked, but he was able to have such insight... "It seems that this little friend also had a wonderful experience!"

"I have a friend who is also of alien blood, and his aptitude and talent far exceed others." He Si thought of that friend, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Later, he purified his alien blood, and his lifespan is as long as that of others." The strength has been greatly improved. I think you can also consider this aspect."

"Qingming!" Hearing this, Liuhe was a little excited.After all, that Qingming's life span is approaching, he and the twelve generals are tacit.

"Haha! Life and death have their own destiny. I am content with living to such an age." Qingming waved his hand at Liuhe, ending this topic, "Let's talk about this later when we have time! I figured it out before During this period of time, there have been many visitors from different time and space, but they have never paid attention to it. Firstly, the time they can stay is extremely short, and secondly, their abilities are very limited and often they are too busy to take care of themselves, and they can't make any waves."

Seimei casually commented on the other Honmaru swordsmen who were dispatched to this era before.Then the topic changed, "But you are different. You have existed in this era for far longer than I expected, so I did a detailed calculation. This time, I found that you, or this You, my friend, have a causal connection with the monster gluttonous beasts that are raging in Ping Anjing today. That's why I asked Tianyi to look for you. I didn't expect you to have met my grandson Changhao and helped him a lot. I am so grateful !"

"My name is He Si." He seemed to be a little concerned about Abe Seimei's mouthful of little friends, He Si suddenly introduced, "This is my servant Diarmuid!" Then he introduced the men with swords behind him one by one.

"The matter of Taotie is indeed related to me." He Si recounted how he and Diarmuid were separated when they crossed the barrier of the world, and at the same time the space bag shattered, allowing Taotie to escape. "We came here precisely to solve the gluttonous matter."

The two sides reached a consensus on this, and the next thing is easy to say.

Seeing that it was getting late, Abe Seimei arranged for He Si and others to live in Abe's house temporarily, so that they could be notified in time if there was news of Taotie.

Taotie, who fled back to his lair in a hurry in the distance, sneezed twice in a row. At this time, he didn't know that the bento prepared for him was almost ready to heat up.

The author has something to say:

Seimei Abe in "Young Onmyoji" is nearly eighty years old, and he is a real grandfather.Even Sanri Yue Zongjin didn't dare to call himself a grandfather in front of Qingming, after all, he just existed for a long time and didn't really live for long.

But Shaoyin Zhongqingming's soul leaving body is his appearance when he was young, tsk, how should I put it, she is indeed a vixen (not derogatory)!

The young version of Seimei is voiced by Akira Ishida, and his voice is amazing, it couldn't be better!

Mutsu Mori is simply a curious baby. It is estimated that he and He Qiuqiu are the most receptive to new things among the sword men.After all, it is a blade that can frankly admit that the era of swords has passed!Well, although he is indeed very young in the sword.

The friend Hes said was of alien blood was Salazar Slytherin, who had the blood of the Feathered Serpent. One of the four founders of Hogwarts in "Harry Potter", the ancestor of the Snake House.He Si's previous series of wonderful journeys can be said to have a lot to do with him.
