The big tengu didn't disturb anyone, and landed on the big tree next to the torii gate.

Last time, when Abe Seimei left the Atago Mountain Shrine, Otengu also watched the Onmyoji leave from this big tree.At that time, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, but now most of the flowers covered with clouds have withered, and the remaining ones are sparsely hanging on the treetops, which is very desolate.

Ootengu's mood is also completely different from last time.

His heart was full of confusion——

Abe Seimei just... gave up?

This should have been a development trend for the monster to breathe a sigh of relief, but instead of being happy, the big tengu was filled with a kind of discomfort that hit the cotton with all his strength-it could even be called humiliation.Abe Seimei teased him in this way, and then easily walked away...

...are you willing?

Not reconciled at all.

In addition to the annoyance and anger of being teased, there are also some emotions that Datengu is unwilling to admit. It doesn't matter if he is arrogant or narcissistic.But for the courtship of this well-known onmyoji, Daitengu does have some complacency.In his opinion, he has a noble and perfect character. Although he has never said such a word, it would be ridiculous to say that he does not have such arrogance in his heart.

Because of this, Daitengu never imagined that Abe Seimei would give up.

But now his reserved pride was shattered by the development of reality.

Abe Seimei walked in the front of the group. He was holding Kagura with his right hand. Inugami dutifully helped him carry the luggage. Nine Lives Cat didn’t show up outside. She was playing with dog fur... oh no, I’m tired of playing with feathers , his attitude towards Qingming was not as guarded as before, and he fell asleep directly on Qingming's lap.Qingming didn't wake her up either, but just put her in the talisman.A group of people walked on the road, looking lively.

Master Bai Zang took two steps forward, and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, what is Master Qingming's purpose here?"

Seimei didn't answer for a while.

On the contrary, Inugami replied in a low voice: "Probably for the owner of this place."

"Master?" Master Baizang asked curiously, "Why haven't I seen it before? Who is he?"

"Who else? Naturally, it is the big tengu enshrined here."

Hakuzangsu's question was not answered, the circles in his eyes showed that he was actually more confused. Whether it was Hakuzangshu, Kagura, or Seimei, the three of them had no memory of the past.But Seimei Abe paid a sudden visit here before, but in the end he failed to get the host's hospitality.

There are so many doubts in it that one can't help but think deeply.

Qingming looked at Master Bai Zang who was about to faint from his thoughts, and couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled: "It's not as complicated as you imagined, I just... feel a layer of haze over the sky of Kyoto, and I don't know when it will be over. It will sweep over and devour everything. It is not enough for me alone to resist this darkness. I heard that the owner of this place upholds justice and maintains the balance of yin and yang. Come and try your luck—after all, one more friend is one more Power, isn't it?"

"But Seimei has me." Kagura replied childishly.

"Yeah, Kagura is my good helper!"

Another obviously perfunctory answer.

Kagura was very angry, so angry that he turned his head and stopped talking to Seimei.

Bai Zangzhu didn't think that much - because of the seal, his mentality was probably only at the level of an ordinary human six or seven year old child, so he asked stupidly at this moment: "But that guy won't even see you."

Qingming smiled wryly in response to the situation: "So...my luck is not that good."

Although it was a complaining tone, Abe Seimei's voice was clear, and he couldn't find even a little bit of loss and discomfort, but it was more of a joke.Xiaobai was a little puzzled. With his simple and pure heart, although he got along with Qingming day and night, he didn't notice the other party's changing attitude towards this matter. At first, Bai Qingming was enthusiastic and active in recovering the big tengu, but When the enthusiasm calmed down, Abe Seimei also wondered if he had placed too much bet on this end.

In his previous life, although he regretted the fate of the big tengu upholding justice, he went on an evil path;

But in the final analysis, the two are just enemies who have fought against each other.

He is not Hei Qingming, and the experience of Hei Qingming and Bai Qingming is fundamentally different.Bai Qingming was in the peaceful and serene human world, and it was absolutely impossible for him to experience the pain of falling into darkness.And this kind of "incomprehension" is probably the biggest gap between him and Ootengu——

It's hard to understand if you don't understand it, and you will feel the extreme righteousness of the big tengu.

After thinking about it, Bai Qingming also felt that her visit was too presumptuous.If there is a chance, he also wants to know what the big tengu thinks.After all, if he is simply immersed in his own anger and extremes, he is no different from Hei Qingming.

——The peace he wanted never belonged only to ordinary people in Kyoto.

Bai Qingming doesn't mind sharing the same courtyard with Hei Qingming if possible.

……

Bai Qingming left Mount Atago.

He has great strength, but he is just an ordinary human body, and when he goes down the mountain, he takes one step at a time, not much faster than ordinary people.It took him more than an hour to walk from the mountain to the foot of the mountain.However, what Bai Qingming didn't know was that the big tengu hiding in the woods had been staring at it from early morning to nightfall.

Five or six hours ago, a few monsters quietly came to see the big tengu.

However, the big monster with a stern personality just stood stubbornly on the top of the tree, letting the chilly mountain wind blow by his side, causing his hair and clothes to sway endlessly.But the big tengu just stared at the place where Bai Qingming disappeared, without saying a word, as if it had solidified into a sculpture.

Finally Shuten-douji came and sat under a tree to drink.

He took off the dress of the ghost girl Hongye, but he didn't tie up his hair for a while. The smooth and curly red hair was all loose, extending to his waist, like water plants rippling in the lake.He took a sip of the wine, knowing that suddenly an arm illuminated by the moonlight like shining silver stretched out and snatched Shuten Doji's wine away.

As soon as Shuten-douji looked up, he saw the big tengu floating down from the treetops at some point.

He pursed his lips tightly, looking very indifferent, and his light-colored broken hair seemed to be shining.

Shuten-douji rolled his eyes straight away - this ungrateful guy has the nerve to snatch his drink?But other than that, Shuten-douji didn't do anything, it takes strength to get angry.Besides, the concern that someone must take care of themselves has never appeared in these two minds.

Most youkai are very solitary.

Hate coexistence, hate loneliness.

and……

Jiu Tun Tong thought about it, and he also felt that his question was very abrupt: "Would you like a drink?"

The big tengu just glanced at him, and then refused, his tone was still that kind of repulsive and unpleasant: "The thing in the cup is wrong, and you yourself are almost exposed because of this, and you are in trouble, so you never thought of quitting." wine?"

When Big Tengu said this, he didn't think it was a kind advice.

He is just unhappy, so he has thorns all over his body, and he always wants to prick others.

But to Ootengu's surprise, Shuten-douji gave an unbelievable answer: "Of course I wanted to quit drinking."

……Um?

"At first, I just thought that drunken singing is so chic." Shuten-douji said lazily, Otengu raised his eyebrows, it seemed hard to imagine that Shuten-douji would have a middle school... Oh no, passionate years.But he said it so plainly, and there is also a charm that attracts people to listen, "Later, it is true that there were times when drinking was wrong, but he also made a name for himself—here, there are many annoying guys like you, If you say too much, you won't be convinced... ordinary monsters will be corroded by alcohol and turned into rubbish..."

He paused for a moment, and looked contemptuously: "But I, Shuten-douji, am I an ordinary monster?"

Without this kind of arrogance, Jiu Tun-douji is not worthy to be the ghost king standing on the top of the monster clan.

"Have some?" Shuten-douji asked him.

The big tengu stared at the wine bowl and didn't speak for a long time.The clear wine is as clear as amber, with a faint brilliance under the moonlight.For a moment, the clear face of Ootengu was reflected on the surface of the water, and the pupils of Ootengu also swayed with swaying water light.After a while, he shook his head: "No..."

Like the arrogance of Shuten-douji about to drink—

Big Tengu also has his persistence.

Probably because Jiu Tun-douji's words relieved his depression a little bit, Otengu Zongsu seemed to be in a better mood, he raised his head, and asked curiously: "Where is Ibaraki-douji?"

That guy doesn't look like an easy fix.

As soon as this topic was brought up, Shuten-douji became angry, and he directly asked Ootengu, "Where's Abe Seimei?"

The big dog stopped talking.

"I tricked him into drinking some wine." Shuten-douji shrugged. After all, it's not a secret. After the big tengu goes back and asks himself, he can also get the answer. There will be trouble after coming here—but, it’s pretty quiet now, isn’t it?”

"You are avoiding the problem." Big Tengu revealed the facts indifferently.

"Aren't you?"

"Of course I..." Daitengu was about to retort, and was about to say a sentence, when Shuten-douji looked at him indifferently, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were very distant, as if he had seen through Daitengu's intentions Put on a show.Suddenly, Da Tengu felt a sense of shame turning into anger in his heart.The original words changed, "... so what?"

"It's nothing." Shuten-douji took back the flagon and walked up the stairs slowly, "That's just your business. The relationship between you and Abe Seimei depends on how you think about him and how you treat him. This is a matter between you and him—speaking of it, you guys always have to distinguish between right and wrong, but you always hold your breath in your heart. It's like a ferocious beast being chained... say Get up, Big Tengu, do you realize that you are no longer human?"

"Of course I know."

"Then don't get too involved with humans." Shuten-douji advised him.

But how could he have more involvement with Abe Seimei?Big Tengu thought angrily, if he doesn't trouble that guy, it's time for him to burn incense.
