juvenile onmyoji

Lizi followed Qingming into the dilapidated house.

This is an abandoned house.Although dilapidated, it can still shelter from wind and rain.The house has been cleaned.Several disciples of Kamoo Tadakayuki gave the inner room to Nanako.They live outside with the teacher.

When Lizi and Qingming arrived, Hemo Baoxian was squatting there cooking porridge.Nanako curled up next to him with the futon in her arms, complaining.

Seeing them coming in, Nanako suddenly looked resentful.But afraid that his brother would say her, he hurriedly opened a folding fan to cover his face.

"Teacher." Qingming called.

He Mao Zhongxing stroked his beard and nodded to him, then glanced at Li Zi lightly, "Found it? Go in and sit. The city gate will be closed after a while. But even if it is not closed, we cannot return to the human world. Not now The whirlwind, and no soil spiders. We must wait until tomorrow."

Seimei knew that the teacher didn't intend to steal the life stone, so he decided to return to Heian-kyo, heaving a sigh of relief.But Nanako yelled in disbelief, "Father, what are you talking about? I'm going back now, what should I do?"

"It's because I didn't think well before." He Mao Zhongxing said, "As an onmyoji guarding Heianjing, how could I bring danger there? Seimei is right, and your brother is also right. Izanami has been wantonly retaliating Gao Tianyuan. Every time Yamata no Orochi does bad things in Heian-kyo, there is Izanami's shadow behind him."

"The bird that disturbed Heiankyo's near extinction is a unique product of Huangquan. If Izanami hadn't handed it to Yamata no Orochi, how could it have gone to Heiankyo? There is also the Hungry Ghost Retreat. Hungry Ghost Where did it come from? Isn’t it the land of the underworld.”

"Having said that, what does it have to do with me?" Nanako sobbed, "It doesn't matter if it's Yamata no Orochi or Izanami. Didn't Heiankyo be saved in the end? You are as big as your father. With Onmyoji around, how could something happen to Ping An Jing."

"What's more, those so-called dangers are all your illusions. Why do people scare themselves with things that don't exist at all?"

"Let's talk about me again. Father, do you have the heart to see me suffer for a lifetime? I support my head with a wooden stick every day like this. I don't dare to laugh, I dare not bow my head. I have lost the qualifications of Ise Palace Miko. Even my marriage has changed. It is extremely difficult. Because no one wants to marry a crumbling woman. When you return a hundred years ago, your brother will also marry your sister-in-law. I am the most redundant person in the family."

"No." He Mao Baoxian said, "I will always support you."

"But I don't want to live like this." Nanako cried sadly, her head could no longer support her tossing like this, Gululu rolled down from her neck.But because he was too close to He Mao Baoxian, he fell straight into the porridge pot.

Shocked by He Mao Baoxian, he subconsciously beat his head out forcefully.Nanako's head fell out in an arc with a "whoosh".

Such a height made her fall hard.She bent down and frantically fumbled around looking for the head with both hands.On the other side, the head was coughing and vomiting uncomfortably because of the falling and rolling of the head.

There was an instant commotion in the room.The disciples rushed to get Nanako's head back.But she found a bright red mark on her face from being scalded by the pot.Immediately there was a stream of small blisters.

He Mao Zhongxing patted his legs and cried loudly, "What did I do?"

When Lizi saw it, she hurriedly left the room, not daring to stay inside anymore.Although Nanako is free to take it on her own.But it was also because of Riko that Ebisu went to settle the matter, and punished Nanako by the way.For the He Mao family, she is really not a name that everyone is willing to mention.

Qingming exited the house with her, "Shall we go to another place for lodging?"

Li Zi nodded, "When I came, I saw a dilapidated house on the side of the road. It looked like it was abandoned. Let's go there for one night and return to Heian-kyo tomorrow morning."

When He Mao Baoxian came out to ask them to drink porridge, he found that he had disappeared.

"Where are Qingming and Xiaoli?" He asked in surprise.

"I saw them discussing to find a house to live in, and return to Ping'an capital tomorrow morning." A junior brother answered.

"So that's how it is." He Mao Baoxian remembered that he had given Qingming Qiankun cloth, thinking that they would not be hungry if they had rice and firewood.Then he went into the house again.

Nanako has been healed by the healing talisman, she no longer vomits, and the blisters on her face have also disappeared.After He Mao Zhongxing pushed her head back up, he sat beside her with his eyes lowered and said nothing.

He Mao Baoxian was used to this expression, so he didn't care.He turned around and called the other juniors to come over for porridge.

Lizi and Seimei found the dilapidated hut.

Lizi released a few little paper figurines, and after a while, the house was cleaned up.She spread the quilt in the corner, and when she turned her head, Qingming had already set up a red clay stove in the yard and made a pot of water.

"Master Qingming is so diligent." She smiled and praised, "Didn't the men in Heianjing never cook?"

"It's not that I don't cook at all." Seimei sat on a stone and looked after the fire, "Usually the nobles hold banquets. The climax of the banquet is when the nobles from the inviting party personally slaughter chickens and cut fish for the guests and perform knife skills." It is also a way for men to show their cooking skills. Just like the emperor likes cooking skills very much, he often cooks himself."

"So there is such a thing." Lizi took the rice out of the bag, cleaned it with water, and poured it into the pot.He took out some small pickles that he had brought with him, "I'm going back tomorrow, so let's eat whatever we want today."

"After dinner, let's go out for a walk." Qingming said.

"Where are you going? Ah, do you want to accompany me to find grandma?" Lizi asked in surprise. "I originally thought that everyone is too tired today, so I will go tomorrow."

"It's really tiring," Seimei said wearily. "To find the teacher today, I searched almost all over the Underworld. Then I spent a lot of effort trying to persuade the stubborn him and the crying Nanako."

"But even so, I still want to accompany you to find grandma. Because I also want to meet Xiaoli's grandma. I want to tell her that the mountain spirit that hurt her has been killed by me."

"I also want to tell her that although I took the liberty of bringing the little granddaughter of the Shimizu family to Heianjing, I took good care of her. Please rest assured grandma. Finally, I want to tell grandma. I want to take care of Shimizu Rikako for the rest of my life, and I want her to agree. If If she agrees, I can wear Yuyu around my waist in a fair and honest manner."

Lizi was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered that Yuyu had been taken away by Qingming long ago.But I have never seen him take it.It turned out to be the reason.She pursed her lips and smiled, "If you can't find grandma or brother, what is Master Qingming going to do?"

Qingming stirred the porridge with a spoon, and said seriously, "If that's the case, I can only go to God Ebisu with the cheek and ask him to host it for you."

Li Zi smiled and said, "If you can't find it until the end, then you don't have to bother Ebisu with this kind of thing. I decide my own marriage."

Qingming raised his eyes, slightly surprised, "Why did you let go all of a sudden? You have always disagreed with me before."

"Because I saw Master Qingming sitting here cooking porridge just now, a lot of things suddenly went through my mind." Lizi said with a slight smile, "Master Qingming must not know. After thousands of years, your name will also shine in the long river of history .Although I don't know much about your deeds. But I have always known Abe Seimei's name. I know that he is a famous big. Onmyoji."

Qingming smiled lowly, "No wonder when you first met me, you said that I would definitely become the most powerful master. Onmyoji. So that's how it is."

"Yeah, it's precisely because I knew you would become a great Onmyoji. That's why I've always been in awe of it. I can't believe your confession to me. Because I always feel that Abe Seimei is supposed to protect Heianjing , a man who dedicated his life." Lizi said.

"I just want to dedicate my life to you now." Qingming said with a smile.The young man's clear eyes are like the colored glass of Guchuan water, with a gentle smile flowing inside, like a pool of warm spring water.

Lizi gathered her hair that was blown by the wind, put it behind her ears, and pretended not to hear the words that made her blush and heartbeat, "Probably because Master Seimei's place in my heart is very sacred. So, you treat me Every bit of sacrifice is so clearly visible.”

"When I was in the countryside of Omi, I thought I was going to die. It was your sudden appearance that brought me back to life. Later, my life was out of danger, and survival became the biggest problem again. It was you who said without hesitation that I was willing to take me to Heianjing. "

"In Harima, I fell into the monster's stomach from the soup pond. You also jumped in with me without even the slightest hesitation. The smell of the lock attracted the monster, and you took me out of Heian-kyo. Whether it's on the bottom of the sea, Either in the country of mirrors, or in the blood formation of Ise forest. Every time you try your best to save me."

"Think about it carefully, you have saved me so many times. It seems that after meeting me, you don't know how many times you have received injuries. Just now I saw you sitting in the dark yard making porridge for me regardless of your image. I suddenly I just thought, why hesitate. I don’t want to let someone else be such a good Lord Seimei.”

Qingming was surprised to hear these words, and it took a long time before he smiled softly, "I never thought about it, I thought I would never get your response."

"Am I stupid?" Lizi asked, "That can't be my fault. I haven't thought about staying here, nor have I thought about who to spend my life with here. What's more, the other party has always been listed as impossible to marry in my heart. People confess to me."

Qingming pulled her over, let her sit on his lap, raised her head and asked, "Then do you understand now?"

Lizi looked down at the young man's eyes that shone with a delicate light, and said with those eyes that always had a gentle smile, "Understood. I also like Master Seimei. I really, really like it."

Qingming opened her eyes slightly, thinking that Xiaoli, who has always been emotionally restrained, would take a lot of courage if she said "I understand".Unexpectedly, he heard a crisp confession.

He lowered his eyes, trying to use the night to cover up the water on his eyelashes.But Lizi held his face in her hands, and wiped the wetness from his eyelashes with her fingers.Lowering her face, she got very close to him, and her lips touched him lightly.But it was separated immediately with a slight touch.

Qingming smiled, and said softly, "It's only you, who will always have such the purest and cleanest kiss."

Lizi lowered her eyes, "It sounds like Master Qingming, besides me, is there anyone else to compare with?"

Qingming raised his eyes to look at her, with the tails of his eyes upturned, with a smile in his eyes, and his voice was gentle and tender, "Isn't it me who is compared with you? My kiss is naturally different from yours. My kiss is hot and intense. Yes Belonging to want your kiss."

With that said, he put his hand on the back of her head and pressed down hard on himself.As soon as he touched the soft lips that had long been thirsty for a long time, there was a tingling sensation in his back.

"Take it easy." The bitten Lizi half complained, half obediently put her hand on his shoulder, and followed his strength to respond to the kiss.

Qingming, who has always paid unilaterally, felt the initiative of the other party for the first time.Instantly undoing all the shackles, fiercely nibbled on the lips that he had coveted for a long time.The girl's skin was very fair and delicate, with a faint fragrance.He couldn't help rubbing her neck, pressing her harder.

"Take it easy." Lizi complained again.

Although Seimei has always had the feeling of being thin as a teenager.But the wide right-angled shoulders and strong arms still completely squeezed the pear into her arms, making her unable to breathe.

At this moment, there was a sudden "bang" sound from the door frame in the yard.

The two quickly separated and looked towards the sound at the same time.I saw a ragged ghost staring at them dumbfounded.

"Huh?" Lizi looked at the ghost in surprise, "I thought no one lived here."

Qingming chuckled and said in a low voice, "You're right, indeed no one lives here, the people who live here are ghosts."

Li Zi hurriedly bounced off his lap, "Well, let's go right away."

"Did you die together? It looks like a new soul." The ghost asked curiously, and skillfully took off the sack on his back and poured out the tatters inside.

Pear was even more embarrassed.They actually ran to the home of the ghost who picked up the rags. Not only that, but Bobo was also seen.

"Sorry." Qingming didn't change his face.Put a bunch of ghost money from He Mao Baoxian on the window.

The ghost's eyes lit up immediately, "Why don't I live in another place. You go on? My place is spacious, and you can just leave here." He regarded Lizi and Qingming as a pair of fateful mandarin ducks. Because his family disagreed, he ran to The kingdom of the underworld continues its frontier.

"No need." Qingming said with a smile, and waved his sleeves to completely dissipate the porridge cooked on the ground, so as not to let the other party see that they were alive.

Lizi kept covering her cheeks with her hands until she walked out of the yard, fanning the wind with her sleeves.

"It doesn't matter," Qingming said, "When he is reincarnated, he will forget about it."

"When will he be reincarnated?" Lizi asked muttering.

"Wait a minute." Qingming turned and returned to the house just now.

Lizi watched him leave in bewilderment, and then watched him return.

"That ghost is called Aji, and he used to live in Luwei Street in Ping'anjing. Let's go to Huangquansi to check his name, and we will know when he was reincarnated. Just check the name of grandma. If there is no reincarnation, we will know Where does she live?" Qingming said.

Lizi was a little surprised, she didn't expect Qingming to go back and ask the ghost's name when she said it casually.She couldn't help but curl her lips, "I don't really care when that ghost reincarnates. I just said it casually."

Qingming took her hand and walked towards the entrance of the alley, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, "But I care about what you say. I will listen carefully to every word you say."

"It doesn't have to be like this." Although Lizi said so, a flower bloomed in Lizi's heart.

At the same time as they walked out from the alley, a shallow shadow floated quietly in the distance in the courtyard where He Maozhongxing and his party lived.The shadow stuck to the wall and glanced in the direction of Lizi and Seimei.It wasn't until their backs disappeared that the shadow continued to drift towards Izanami's palace.

Qingming took Li Zi and touched Huang Quansi smoothly.Here are recorded the names of all creatures in the world.Even if it is a bird, its name will be recorded in Huangquan after death.

There are no guards here.Probably the ghost messenger didn't think anyone would get in here.Besides, it's useless to touch here.Therefore, this is the most neglected place in the entire Huangquan Division.

Lizi looked around, the room was not big, only twenty square meters.But there are towering cabinets all around.There are tens of thousands of small drawers on each cabinet.That drawer is too small, it is estimated that only one branch can be put in it.The densely packed drawers are engraved with names, shining golden light, like thousands of pairs of eyes looking at them.

Thinking that these are the names of dead souls all over the world, Lizi feels awe in her heart.

"Well, let me see." Qingming said softly, making seals against the cabinet with one hand, "Pinganjing, Xijing, Luwei Lane of Liutiao Avenue." A faint light flashed, as if the cabinet could hear his words.A small, slender grid of drawers popped out of a certain cabinet.

Qingming stretched out his hand, and a roll of paper floated out and landed on his hand.He opened it and took a quick glance, and Li Zi also looked over.

I saw what was written on the paper, "Aji, born and raised in Ping'an Jing. Because he was attracted by Qiao Ji's beauty, he went down to the river to pick up the earrings for her, and Qiao Ji put her head on her head and drowned in the river. There is no dispute. You are specially allowed to be reincarnated into a wealthy family, and the date of reincarnation is..."

A year, month, and day are written on the back.Lizi calculated, it will be a year later.

"He was killed by Hashihime. Which Hashihime? The one I killed?" Riko asked.

"Yeah, that's right," Qingming said, "Look at the day he died, it was almost before you went back in time. This Aji is a bit miserable. If you go back a few more days, he doesn't have to die. However, reincarnation It's still good."

"Look for my grandma quickly." Lizi urged, unexpectedly, in these cabinets, besides the cause of death, you can also see the time and place of reincarnation.

Qingming followed the method just now, and read out Grandma Lizi's name.Another small drawer popped open, revealing a roll of paper.

Pear hurriedly reached out to take it.After getting the paper roll, I suddenly didn't dare to open it.It feels a bit close to nostalgia.I am afraid to see grandma's address in Huangquan country, but I also want to see it.

Qingming's eyes moved slightly, and she thought to herself that she might have already been reincarnated.If he hadn't been reincarnated, Hayato Shimizu would have gone to the land of hell every day.Maybe he will take Xiaoli to see grandma.

In the end, Li Zi carefully opened the scroll and turned her attention to the handwriting.

Yoko Anyuan, Harima person.In his later years, he took his granddaughter to live in the countryside of Omi.A certain month in a certain year was devoured by mountain spirits.During his lifetime, he had never done anything bad, nor had he had any verbal disputes with others.But in the fate, there are three sufferings, and he needs to be reincarnated into a poor family.

When the handwriting reached here, a few words behind it were blackened by a ball of ink, which seemed to be a personal name.The blacked-out handwriting was followed by a name, Tachibana Taro's Daughter.

"I know this Tachibana," Seimei said. "He's the eldest grandson of the noble family Tachibana. He married the daughter of the Fujiwara family last year. It's a pretty good family."

"Isn't it written that you were reincarnated as a child from a poor family?" Lizi asked doubtfully, "Who changed it?"

Seimei thought of Yamata no Orochi's name.

"No matter who changed it, at least it's a good result." Qingming comforted, "Although we can't see grandma in the land of hell, we can take care of her secretly in her life." He paused, "Although I was born in a noble family, but there are also unfavorable things."

Riko lowered her eyes, looking at Tachibana's name.A person who was able to change the list of reincarnations in the old country of the underworld, and also changed it so arrogantly, without hiding it at all.I'm afraid it's the only one.No one else could have this ability except him.But he refused to admit it.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Qingming hurriedly threw the scroll back to its original place, closed the drawer, pulled Lizi to prop up the barrier and hid in the corner.

The door opened, and a ghost came in and glanced around.Then close the door again and leave.

It turned out to be a ghost patrol, Lizi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had been discovered.

"Let's go." Qingming whispered in her ear.

Pear nodded.Although there is no chance to see her grandmother who remembers her again.But it still makes her very happy until grandma comes back to life in this world.She was secretly thinking about why she would go to Ju's house and see her reincarnated grandma when she returned to Ping'an Jing.

The two left Huang Quansi, Qing Ming and Li Zi returned to the alley where He Mao Zhongxing lived.They sat down against the wall and decided to wait until dawn and return to Heian-kyo with everyone.

The next day, He Maozhong walked out of the yard, looking at Lizi and Qingming who were sleeping outside leaning on each other, he was stunned for a moment.

Riko heard the noise and opened her eyes, and the Kamo family was ready to go out reflected in her pupils.She hurriedly pushed Qingming to get up.

"Why are you sleeping outside?" He Mao Zhongxing asked with a frown.

Seimei smiled, "I don't want to disturb the teacher's rest. But it's just for one night, it doesn't matter." His gaze swept Nanako Kamo undetectably.Seeing that she still had a wooden stick tied to the back of her neck, with a sad expression on her face and her hands on her head, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, let's go back together." He Mao Zhongxing said lightly.

……

The sunset reflects the street, just after it rains, the leaves are floating with the setting sun, like sparkling glass, dancing in the dusk.

An ox cart quietly drove out from Ping An Jing.It was clearly a scorching heat, but the car curtains covered it tightly.Neither the coachman nor the people in the car made a sound.It seems that there is only one purpose, that is, the farther away from Heianjing, the better.

When the ox cart reached the Ise Forest, the driver stopped the cart temporarily to fetch water.

A slender hand raised the curtain of the car, and a woman's anxious voice came from inside, "Miss, we haven't reached Mutsu country yet. You can't go out now."

"What are you afraid of? There are trees everywhere here, and there are no pedestrians at all. I'll go out to get some air. At worst, you come down and look at me." A woman said in a good mood.

The car door opened, and two young girls came down from above.One was wearing a hat on her head, surrounded by a cloth, which completely covered her face.

She got out of the car while complaining, "Why did my father send me to such a far place? That is almost the easternmost place in Fusang. I heard that it is winter all the year round, and there are few people, so it is very difficult."

"My lord is also for your own good," said another girl, "you stay for a while. Your lord will play the emperor and go to Mutsu to find you in the name of pension."

"Really, it's all the fault of Rikako." The girl wearing the bamboo hat said as she lifted the curtain, revealing Kamo Nanako's face.

"Miss, my lord told you not to show your face."

"Don't make a fuss," Kamo Nanako fanned the wind with a folding fan, pulled the skirt of her clothes, revealing her snow-white neck, "I'll just cool off."

She took a step forward and kicked something hard with her toe.Looking down, it was a statue that only reached her calf.She knelt down and brushed off the dust to reveal the cast of statues.

"Ah, it's the statue of the Lord of the Underworld." She said softly.

Some believers who believe in Izanami cannot worship at home openly.They will pick places with few people and set up small statues.

Kamo Nanako looked around the statue, raised the corners of her lips and said with a smile, "Even Izanami can't take my life away."
