[Complete] Sibyl the Immortal

Chapter 39 Onmyoji + The Tale of Genji

Then what happened?

"Then Aya and Honey Bug threw him out."

Xi Yang said with a blank face.

As for the next?

"And then the whole capital...knows that you Guangjun was thrown out of the house by a woman breaking his leg hahahaha!!!"

The general thumped his head and laughed.

Mr. Genji coughed in embarrassment.The fact that he was thrown out by a woman made him afraid to go out to see people for at least three months-not just because of his broken leg.Being despised by a woman to such an extent is a matter of great embarrassment for a man. Although women lose more face in this kind of matter, in his opinion, that girl is not someone who will be affected at all.

The most direct impact of this incident on Mr. Genji is that the first reaction of outsiders when mentioning Mr. Guang is not his beauty, but "Oh! Just the man whose leg was broken by a woman and thrown out!".When mentioning the Tang beauty in Abe Seimei's family, the first reaction is "that shrew who broke the leg of the man who touched the door and threw it out!".

Please be completely shameless, okay? !

- Strange.

The only one who has no face to see others is Mr. Genji.

Xiyang has no sense of outside comments.

When Abe Seimei asked her what she thought of Mr. Genji, she just raised her head in doubt, her crimson eyes were confused.

"Who is that?"

"...the man who entered your room last night."

"Pervert. Human scum. Beast."

"..."

"Tatara said that men who pursue girls under the age of 16 are perverts. Men who date more than two women at the same time are scum. Men who try to forcefully sleep with a girl against her wishes are beasts."

"...He is right." Abe Seimei couldn't help laughing, and opened his fan as if to cover up, "Miss, please continue to do this in the future."

"Yes."

"I will put two more shikigami in your room. If this kind of thing happens again, the little lady just needs to do what she did last night. You did very well, little lady."

Xiyang nodded receptively.

"I will."

Please light the wax for the noble (crazy) family (bee) male (prodigal) son (butterfly) in Heianjing in the future.

"The dressing ceremony has been done, and it's time for me to teach the young lady some other things."

"Seimei, what do you want to teach that child?"

"Well... she is also an adult, it's time to teach her some adult things."

"Wait... Seimei, what do you want to do?"

"Teach that child how to behave in the world. Boya, do you think of something strange with your expression?"

"It's because your words are too misleading!"

"Oh, peace of mind, I don't have strange hobbies like that Guangjun."

"...Yeah, actually raised a ten-year-old lover in the residence of Nijoin, just a child, right? Speaking of which, the young lady is only 13 years old...Guang-jun is too——!"

"Miss is still unmoved by all comments from the outside world."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"No, just the opposite. This is a terrible thing, Boya."

"Why? Don't be moved by outside words, so you won't be hurt by rumors."

"Did you know, Boya? Words are powerful mantras."

Abe Seimei filled a glass of sake for himself, staring at the cold moon in the glass, a complex expression flashed in his watery eyes.

"Words are a bondage, but they are also a fetter. By exchanging words, people also exchange a part of their souls. The evaluation of others also represents their perception of you. Just like when I say you are a good man, it means I will tell you the 'Yuan Boya' that I have confirmed. And by accepting this sentence, you also accept this part of 'you' that I know.

"People confirm a part of themselves by accepting other people's evaluation of themselves. Other people's words have a great influence on people. Isn't there such a sentence in the historical records? ——Ji Yu sinks a boat, the group is light and the shaft is folded, the crowd Mouth melts gold, accumulates and burns bones——reckless words can kill people. Why? Because the negation of others will make you deny yourself. Accepting the bad self in others' mouths will make yourself hurt.

"Accepting other people's words also means accepting yourself in the eyes of others. The fetters are mutual, no matter good or evil, when two people exchange words, they also exchange fetters. So, don't accept other people's words, don't care about anyone's evaluation , what does it mean?"

Yuan Boya's face changed slightly.He frowned unconsciously, and looked at the girl who was writing in the inner room.

"Does this mean that she... didn't communicate with the outside world?"

"Yeah. She hasn't realized yet..." Qingming drank the wine in his glass and looked at the moonlight lightly, "Bonds are two-way things."

So unilateral decision.

So a unilateral cut off.

That child, who hasn't discovered it yet, will also establish connections with others.

"The so-called relationship, the so-called bond, will not really stop just because one party says to stop. It is the two parties that can make it stop."

***

March [-], Shangsi Festival.

"Miss, can you give me something?"

Abe Qingming handed a bottle to Xiyang.It was a gorgeous porcelain vase with intricate patterns painted on the body and a seal on the mouth.Xiyang took it, and it was unexpectedly heavy.

"I will let Shikigami take you there. I will hand it over to the old man who lives there."

"Understood." The girl didn't ask what was in the bottle or who she was giving it to, she hugged the bottle and bowed, "It will be delivered."

Qingming clapped her hands, and a woman in safari clothes and a young man in [heian era samurai dress] helped Xiyang onto the bullock cart.Two (who knows if they are human) handymen quickly ran over and drove the ox cart onto the road.

"Honeybug, do you know what holiday March [-]rd is?"

After the sound of the bullock cart disappeared, Abe Seimei suddenly asked the shikigami behind him.The woman in a wisteria-colored dress shook her head slightly, puzzled.

"The Shangsi Festival is a custom from the Tang Dynasty. It is said that people on the other side of the sea will hold a ritual of exorcism at the waterside every March [-]rd—that is, a ritual to expel bad luck."

祓, in the way of fasting and bathing, praying for blessings and driving away disasters.

Xie, a ceremony held by the water in spring and autumn to drive away bad luck.

"In other words, March [-]rd is a day that requires rituals to avoid ominous days."
