[Onmyoji] How to attack Gouzi deliberately

About meeting Kuro Seimei in the bamboo forest, Ootengu didn't tell anyone. Before he returned to the residence of the Lord of Arakawa, he even took a bath to make sure that he didn't smell of blood anymore.After returning to the residence, sure enough, even the Lord Arakawa, who is very familiar with Otengu, did not realize the problem, and enthusiastically recommended the delicacy of Pipi Shrimp to Otengu, but Otengu rejected it without hesitation.

"Hey, when will you know how to enjoy life?"

While speaking, the Lord of Arakawa sucked and bit off the head of the Pippi shrimp that was still struggling desperately. The light blue shrimp body twitched, and then fell limp-the corners of the big tengu's eyes twitched during the whole process : "I said - even if you want to treat guests, you can't... don't eat it raw?"

"... Big tengu, you are a monster!"

"I know, but..."

"Monster, it's not a problem to eat a person raw, I just eat a shrimp raw." The Lord of Arakawa squeezed out the shrimp meat, put it in his mouth, and sucked it again, leaving only an empty shell in place—— I don't know how he made eating shrimp as proficient as eating melon seeds, "As for making such a fuss?"

Speaking of this, Lord Arakawa suddenly thought of another thing: "About Seimei... Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Ootengu thought it was Lord Arakawa who saw something, and under the tension, even the feathers on the wings exploded, fluffing up very eye-catchingly.And Lord Arakawa's next words finally dispelled Ootengu's doubts.The Otter Master Arakawa continued: "Uh, didn't you want to investigate what Abe Seimei did in the Black Night Mountain?"

It was this thing.

Big Tengu finally let go of his uneasiness, and after he calmed down for a while, he felt that his state of mind was not quite right—what's the matter with this weird emotion that he doesn't want to talk to others at all?But the big tengu didn't pay too much attention to the matter first, and asked: "Any news?"

"Hmm." The Lord of Arakawa nodded, "Abe Seimei had many shikigami before, and he had a pair of bird monsters called boys and girls before, who were entrusted to find the Kusanagi sword on the eve of Mount Black Night. However, Abe Seimei I didn't wait for these two shikigami to come back, it seems like I completely forgot about them now."

Boys and girls.

forget.

Kusanagi sword.

Daitengu's attention soon fell on that very sensitive word: "Kusanagi sword?"

"It's one of the three Japanese artifacts, the Amazono Cloud Sword. The sword that Susanoo took from the tailbone of the Yamata no Orochi when he destroyed the Yamata no Orochi. It was later presented to Amaterasu God by Susanoo. After being given to Qiongqiong Chuzun by Amaterasu along with the other two artifacts, the three artifacts became a symbol of the Japanese emperor's royal power."

I insist on making an analogy, which is the same as the Chinese Jade Seal.

But for Japan, which respects Shinto and the emperor himself has the blood of the gods, these three artifacts are not just a symbol.

The Lord of Arakawa may not be so clear, but Ootengu knows it very well. It is an artifact that even the emperor cannot look at at will.No matter how resounding the name of Abe Seimei's onmyoji is, from the source of blood, it is the direct blood of Abenai Maro. This line, like Genji, is a branch of the emperor's blood, but the time is far away, and the surname has just been awarded Yuan Boya's relationship with Yuan Boya couldn't be compared—but even Yuan Boya wanted to observe Kusanagi Sword from afar.

joke!

How could Abe Seimei borrow the Kusanagi sword?

Big Tengu frowned: "Nonsense."

"What are you scolding me for? I didn't make up this news." The Lord of Arakawa took out another Pipi Shrimp from his fur collar, bit off the head again with a bang, and chewed it. The two long shrimp whiskers were left outside, shaking up and down, "Crack, it's that boy and girl monster who said it, and they didn't bring the Kusanagi sword to Abe Seimei, crunch..."

"My brother is still a bit wary, creaking, my sister is a bit stupid, she said it with a little deceit, creaking, creaking..."

"You finish your food before talking."

Ootengu reluctantly interrupted Lord Arakawa's words, and then only a series of creaking sounds could be heard in his ears.Ootengu tried to concentrate and thought: It's not surprising that he didn't get the Kusanagi sword.The strange thing is why Abe Seimei suddenly wanted to borrow the Kusanagi sword, and what gave him confidence that he could borrow the Kusanagi sword...

creak creak...

Speaking of the Kusanagi sword, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally Yamata no Orochi.Ordinary humans may have believed in the myth that Susanoo killed Yamata no Orochi with a ten-fist sword.But the monsters clearly understand that death is not the end.After human beings die, their souls return to ghosts to guide them in black and white, to be judged by Yan Mo, and to be reincarnated.But what about Yamata no Orochi?Who can guide its soul, who can judge its good and evil?

Even the Ootengu itself is very suspicious of the myth of the death of Yamata no Orochi.

After becoming a monster, I can feel that the shadow of that terrifying and vicious snake still hangs over the world.

creak creak...

Ootengu, whose thinking was forcibly interrupted, turned his head full of resentment, and saw that the Lord of Arakawa had stuffed three Pipi shrimp into his mouth, and the heads of the three shrimp were shaking together, which looked very horrifying.Datengu was speechless for a while, and finally gave up the idea of ​​sorting out his thoughts here: "Where's Boya?"

"I'm practicing arrows." The Lord of Arakawa pointed him in a direction.

Going in that direction, the big tengu didn't go far, and met Boya who was practicing arrows shirtless.Thanks to him being able to find self-exercise items underwater, he tied a rope to the arrow feathers, and after launching them, he used the rope to prevent them from being washed away by the current.Seeing the big tengu, Yuan Boya also terminated the exercise: "Is there something wrong?"

"Well, it's very important." Big Tengu said, "I need you."

……

"so……"

Yuan Boya slammed the hoe heavily on the ground: "Is that why you need me?"

——Can there be pure and sincere friendship between humans and monsters? !

"I'm not wrong." Datengu waved his fan, blowing away all the soil dug out by Yuan Boya, and then shook his sleeves—you know, he is wearing white clothes, and if it gets dirty, it will be very conspicuous "I really need you very much."

"Because no one would help you with such a stupid thing without me."

Yuan Boya complained that he didn't have the obsession with cleanliness like Ootengu, so he immediately went to the dirt: "Why do you suddenly want to dig this section of bamboo away! Well, I understand. Recently, many people are You covet this, but if you let them covet it, it’s okay, you don’t have the character to stuff every good thing at home..."

Big Tengu frowned, Yuan Boya changed his words instantly: "Okay, I know you suspect that there is a little life in it!"

"...But it's not like I didn't agree to help!"

Yuan Boya lamented: "I just want to know... how fucking long are the roots of this bamboo? I feel like I almost dug up the entire bamboo forest, okay?" He gritted his teeth and said, And lying on the ground exhausted, determined never to move again.

"Oh, this." The Lord of Arakawa, who didn't receive the invitation, but ran over on his own, answered the question for him, "Of course the roots of bamboo are all connected by a forest. Didn't you dig it?" Winter bamboo shoots, why don’t you even know such common sense—let me tell you, winter bamboo shoots are the delicacy in this world! The justice in this world! It’s crunchy, chewing with a fragrance on your lips and teeth, super delicious..."

When the Lord of Arakawa talked about eating, he was like a monk preaching, and he could chatter for hours.

Yuan Boya collapsed on the ground, showing a look of despair: "You liar."

Big Tengu: "..."

"You obviously only told me that you only need to dig a bamboo."

Big Tengu: "..."

"Even if the bamboo grows a little fatter, I didn't say anything."

Big Tengu: "..."

"However, you despicable guy, you simply want me to dig out the whole forest..."

Big Tengu: "..."

"Can there still be a little love and trust between humans and monsters?"

Datengu finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Enough, I have never dug winter bamboo shoots by myself before. How do I know that the roots of bamboo will all be connected together... How can I take it away unscathed? I don't know now. You know how to do it, do you think I have such a big land that I can fit a bamboo forest?"

"You have." Yuan Boya cruelly pointed out this reality, "Don't try to lie to me."

Big Tengu: "..." Is this the point?

The Lord of Arakawa was still on the side, unable to grasp the point at all. He took out a dagger from his fur collar and handed it to Ootengu: "After taking it, I suggest you dig the winter bamboo shoots by yourself. The feeling of digging by yourself is still the same. It’s different—if you don’t have a suitable chef, I can recommend you a few, and one of them makes bamboo shoot ramen that is truly unique in the world.”

"Don't make trouble for me." Big Tengu replied angrily, flicked his long sleeves, and directly sent the short sword flying.

Clang sound.

The short sword crossed a straight line, and directly hit the one that is still silent now. It looks simple and unpretentious, but in fact it will be on the strange bamboo that glows at night, without any resistance, as if cutting tofu. poked in.There is only one handle left on the outside.

Everyone was shocked.

Yuan Boya replied subconsciously: "It's not my fault."

"Nobody blames you for—"

"——Didn't I take a precaution first?"

The big tengu is completely too lazy to talk to this idiot, it's a done deal, and he has to accept the reality.He walked over and resignedly pulled out the short sword. As the sword left the bamboo, a large amount of light poured out like flowing water.Yuan Boya stared at this scene dumbfounded, and muttered to himself: "It's over, this bamboo essence is going to be stabbed to death by you."

The big tengu glared at him: Yuan Boya, can't you say something nice?

"Uh..." Yuan Boya suggested hesitantly, "I still have some wound medicine. Bamboo...can it be used?"

Hearing this, Ootengu felt even worse.

Fortunately, the changes in the bamboo did not stop there. After a while, the radiance inside seemed to be shining, and the original green bamboo began to turn yellow and dry in just a few seconds.Immediately afterwards, a white and tender child's hand grabbed the seam—only a terrible sound was heard, and the dry bamboo pole was torn apart.

It was a pink and snow-white baby with beautiful long hair enough to wrap the whole body.

She lay on the bamboo pier, opened her eyes, and looked at the few people present very curiously.

Datengu was silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head to look at Yuan Boya: "I really need you right now..."

"No help! No! No support!"
