juvenile onmyoji

Dark night shrouded the entire forest.If there is no moon, this level of darkness makes people feel that they are put in a box.

At midnight, a faint fragrance slowly emanated from the trunks and roots of the fir trees along with the night.This fragrance made the night more peaceful, and it almost made Qingming, who was on duty at night, close his eyes.

wrong.

This situation is very wrong.

Can't fall asleep.

Qingming struggled to bite the tip of his tongue, and the smell of blood spread to his mouth in an instant.The pain jolted him awake.

He snapped his eyes open, and tightly grasped the hand that stretched out to Lizi's neck.With a hard throw, the opponent jumped out.Seimei made seals with his hands, and a huge ice dragon slowly flew out of the dark night. The scales all over his body shone like ice crystals, exuding a biting chill.

"Scatter quickly." The onmyoji who was attacking suddenly exclaimed.

The cold air spread everywhere, freezing the attacker's legs in an instant.This cold air also woke up Lizi and Beiyuan.

Bei Yuan was limp all over, barely standing up by holding on to the tree trunk behind him.Lizi is not as strong as him, so she can barely sit on the ground, leaning on the tree trunk to breathe.

Qingming let go of Jieyin's hand, and the giant dragon rushed out.At the same time, the miko on the other side began to chant.A gust of warm spring breeze swept past, melting the ice and snow in an instant.When the dragon bit the waist of one of them, the other two jumped out of the attack circle and fled without thinking.

The onmyoji whose waist was bitten by the ice dragon had his eyes widened with a pale face.Qingming waved his hand, and the ice dragon immediately spat out the onmyoji, but still stepped on him with one paw.

"It's Harima." Kitahara finally regained his strength and squatted next to the man's face to study.

"How do you know?" Lizi also felt much better, and stood up while supporting the tree.

"Hey, Harima's kari is red, so the color of the buns can't be mistaken even at night." Kitahara said with a smile. "Hey," he kicked Harima Onmyouji, "You don't sleep at night, come out to cheat the corpse?"

Qingming pinched the other party's throat with his hands, "Please hurry up, and I will give you a treat too."

"Kill me?" Harima Onmyouji asked in horror.

"If you want me to do this, it's not impossible." Qingming said lightly.

"No, no, no, I don't want to." Harima Liu Onmyouji said hurriedly.Seeing that he couldn't run anymore, he simply confessed, "We followed you when we entered the forest. Because you are the number one in the personal ranking. I thought that while everyone was tired in the middle of the night, I would light some ecstasy incense to knock you down completely. .”

"Why put it down?" Bei Yuan asked.

"Let us out in advance." Qingming said lightly.

"Ah, so insidious." Kitahara exclaimed, and kicked Harimaru with his foot.The latter's head hit the ice dragon's hard calf, and his eyes darkened immediately and he passed out. "Yeah, I kicked hard."

"What should we do now?" Lizi looked at Qingming.

Seimei smiled softly, "Eliminate him." He bent down and took out a small black ball from Harima-ryu Onmyoji's chest, which was the firework bomb that Onmyolia gave to everyone.As long as you pinch it, it means that you will automatically exit.Yinyangliao will come in and take people away.

He crushed the balls with a "snap", and a red firework was immediately released above their heads.

"Let's go." Beiyuan picked up the rice bag and carried the pot on his back.

"Wait a minute," Seimei said.

Pear: "Huh?"

"Do you want to see ice flowers?" Qingming smiled and looked at Lizi.

"Boring." Beiyuan rolled his eyes and walked forward alone, not disturbing Qingming's flirting with her sister.

"What ice flower?" Lizi asked.

Qingming reached out and gently wiped the top of the dragon's head.

With a sound of "shua", the ice crystal scales on the ice dragon's body shattered into pieces and fell off.Countless diamond-shaped ice flakes were blown by the wind like petals and flew into the air.In the dim moonlight, these ice scales glowed in folds, shining bright brilliance and falling like petals.

"Wow, it's really beautiful." Lizi exclaimed.

Qingming looked at her with a smile, but her eyes were fixed on Binglin.

"It's really beautiful, Seimei-sama."

When Bei Yuan heard it in the distance, there was another "boring."

After the reward, Lizi and Qingming catch up with Beiyuan again.After a brief discussion, they decided to change to another place and rest until dawn before looking for the golden talisman paper.

In the second half of the night, I changed to Beiyuan on duty.He sat by the fire and looked at the opposite couple. Lizi was curled up on the ground, sleeping with her head on Qingming's lap.

And Qingming sat leaning against the big tree with her eyes closed, with her arms around Lizi's waist.Although this sleeping position was readjusted by that boy Qingming while the girl was asleep.He still felt like he drank a glass of vinegar in empty mouth.

It's better to take Fusangshen Nanako with her, at least she won't give back dog food in the middle of the night.

Lizi felt that she hadn't slept for a long time, when she heard someone talking in a low voice beside her.

"Master Beiyuan, cook some rice and make some rice balls. If we find the talisman paper today, I'm afraid we won't have time to cook anymore."

"It's right, I'll cook right now. Oh no, Seimei, what are you doing if I cook?"

"Keeping the treasure."

"What treasure?"

"Here, on the legs."

"...You don't have to guard."

"Ok?"

"Your treasure is awake."

Lizi opened her round eyes and saw the boy looking down at her.Seeing that she really woke up, a bright smile burst into the boy's eyes.

"Did we wake you up because we were talking too loudly?" Qingming asked, helping her brush away the hair sticking to her face.

"No." Lizi sat up in a daze, only to realize that she was pillowing on the boy's lap.She woke up all of a sudden, "That... I didn't fall asleep by myself, did I?"

"Of course you fell asleep by yourself." Qingming said naturally, "I will sit there and be fine, and you will lie down."

"Eh? Maybe it's because Seimei-sama's legs are like a pillow there."

"Are you playing tricks? Forget it, let you go." Qingming smiled slightly, and sat down again with a light "hiss" just as he was about to stand up.

"What's wrong?" Pear asked hurriedly.

"The treasure is too heavy, it hurts my legs." Bei Yuan, who was cooking, said with a smile.

After a while, the rice was cooked.Seimei released the ice talisman to cool down the heat of the rice.Pear made twelve rice balls.

"Okay, let's go after eating." Beiyuan distributed a rice ball to everyone, and put the rest back into the pot.

After eating the rice balls in silence, everyone began to look for the golden charm along the road.

At this time, although there is the sun in the sky, the sun is blocked by the deep mountains, and the light cannot come in directly.It was very dark in the forest.What they walked was not a road at all, but the beastly path stepped on by wild beasts.The surrounding area was covered by grass up to the calf, and the animal path became intermittent.

"Where will it be?" Pear asked.

"It's hard to say," Beiyuan continued, "Some are placed on the avenue, and some are hidden in the roots of trees. These roots are all entangled, and a small talisman is stuffed in, so it's hard to find. .”

"Why do you hide it so tightly?" Lizi asked curiously, "Didn't Yinyangliao want everyone to fight?"

"Yinyangliao doesn't want to end so soon." Seimei said, "Surviving in the wild is also part of the trial. They only gave everyone a little rice, and set up a large formation at the border of the forest. Even the summoned shikigami couldn't bring it in. Food. The competition in the hungry state is the real purpose."

so ruthless?Pear was amazed.No wonder Master Beiyuan only gave everyone a rice ball, so it turns out that they have started to save food now.She suddenly thought that if Shuten-douji was summoned, would the wine in his wine gourd disappear or exist?

Just as they were chatting and searching randomly, there was a sudden sound of fighting in the distance.Bei Yuan immediately raised his face excitedly like a hunting dog smelling prey, "Go and see, has anyone found it?"

The gold, silver and copper talisman paper will make music, but only in a certain range, not the whole forest can hear it.Therefore, when hearing the sound of fighting, it is assumed that someone has found the talisman paper.

They rushed over, but were immediately disappointed.It is the first onmyoji of the two teams competing for it.Arriving with them, there were Tosariu Onmyouji, Inoue Shingo, Katori Yuzuki and a witch who met in the wilderness.

"Ah, you're here too?" Katori Yuzuki waved at Riko in surprise, "What a pity, it would be great if your team found the golden talisman paper." There was a trace of excitement on her face.

Li Zi looked away silently, not wanting to confront such a fighting maniac.She's just a witch.Shouldn't this declaration of battle be said to the Onmyoji?It's as if a cook wants to compare cooking with a tailor.

"Let's go." Seimei glanced at Tosa's onmyoji faintly.

Lizi nodded, and returned to the original road with Qingming Kitahara.

"Hey, they are following us." Li Zi turned her head and said.

"It seems that we are sure that we will get the golden talisman paper?" Beiyuan guessed, "It's really a hateful school. These schools have no good things except us, He Mao."

"Why?" Lizi asked, and she glanced back again, and found that they were stalking far behind, like tails that could not be shaken off.

"Because they all belong to the folk school except Kamo," Seimei said flatly, "In order to gain a place in the Onmyoji world, they will use extremely fierce methods. Just like the Harima-ryu Onmyoji in the middle of the night last night. If it is Kamo, even If you want the opponent to be eliminated in advance, you won't take the method of directly taking people's lives."

"Yes," Bei Yuan continued, "at most we can stun them, take out the flame bombs and let them fly."

"Because the family motto of Kamo's family is that even if the other party is a monster, you must give it a chance to justify. Forgive the life that can be forgiven as much as possible."

"Hey, it sounds like this, I suddenly feel better about Nanako." Riko said with a smile.

"Oh, there's no need for that," Kitahara said, "Nanako is really an outlier in the Kamo family. Her brother is fine, but she's spoiled. If our shrine maiden were replaced by her, she would be on my back now. Qingming refuses to carry her, and she can't walk."

pear:"……"

"Stop," Qingming raised his hand and frowned slightly, "What's that sound?"

"Is it the sound of music?" Li Zi turned her face to the side and said.

"Go and have a look." Kitahara was about to run excitedly, when three figures rushed past behind him, it was Tosarayu.

"Damn it." Bei Yuan said.

When they arrived, they looked disappointed again, they were middle-ranked onmyojis.

"I found all the talisman papers for the first and middle positions, and they are all in this area, can it be considered..." Beiyuan rubbed his hands eagerly, looking around, as if the talisman papers were all around him.

"Do you want to fight her that much?" Inoue Shingo turned his head and asked Katori Yuzuki who looked regretful.

Katori Yuzuki nodded vigorously, "I really want to, really want to, I want to try her strange spells." She stared at Lizi with piercing eyes.

For the talented girl Katori Yuzuki, winning or losing the competition is not important.Competing with formidable opponents is a mouth-watering thing.The first time she saw Pear's secret technique, her hands were itchy.

"I really want to fight her, I really want to."

"Then let's fight." Inoue Shingo said lightly, "Anyway, if you want to get the first place, you have to eliminate all the high positions."

"Ah, really, Shingo-senpai, do you agree?" Katori Yuzuki jumped up happily, and the two braids tied on top of her head flew up together.

"It's okay if you don't agree." Shingo Inoue stared at Seimei's face. "After all, the opponent has the first place in the individual competition. If we don't win him, it will be difficult for us to win."

"It's really hateful." Bei Yuan said angrily, "Don't take me seriously? You have made arrangements, so I'm left to beat that witch?"

Qingming curled her lips, thinking that the other party was a difficult opponent.Follow them until they are knocked out of strength by all opponents before making a move.I didn't expect to be so impatient.

"You can't underestimate my words." The Tosaryu Priestess's eyes suddenly changed, one was normal, and the other had red vertical pupils.She took out a Kagura bell and sang it loudly.Invisible ripples swayed in the air, and Lizi immediately felt a splitting headache.As soon as she covered her ears, the sound disappeared.

She raised her head in surprise, and found that an orange enchantment had been erected in front of her.Seimei formed a giant frost dragon in front of her, and the dragon slowly flew around the barrier.

"Are you taking care of the baby? I have never seen a maiden protected like this." Shingo Inoue showed a mocking expression and released the spell with one hand.Following the burning trajectory of the spell, blue power spewed out, and then turned into flames and rushed into the ice dragon's mouth.The ice dragon instantly turned into steam and rose upwards.

At the same time, Katori Yuzuki jumped over and tore open the barrier with both hands, and reached out to turn to Riko, "Aren't you coming out yet?"

A trace of bloody smell floated out along the torn barrier, Katori Yuzuki was slightly startled, and his eyes suddenly widened.Her hand attacking Lizi was being grabbed by a man's hand at the moment.She looked up at the man, and an arrogant and handsome face was reflected in her pupils.

"Where are you scratching your paws?" Shuten-douji looked at the other party indifferently with his scarlet eyes, "Even women are not allowed to touch Shimizu-sama casually." He pressed his fingers hard, and Katori Yuzuki's hand immediately seemed to be burned Burn out bubbles like soybeans.

Katori Yuzuki screamed, and Shuten-douji threw her out of the barrier.

"Yueyue." Shingo Inoue was about to rush over immediately, but Seimei glanced at him lightly, threw out a piece of talisman paper, and the fiery red chains dragged him back.

"Oh, damn it." Shingo Inoue said angrily.

Riko poked her head out from behind Shuten-douji, she thought she would see Katori Yuzuki's angry expression, but instead she saw that he didn't care about the back injury at all, and instead said excitedly, "You still have shikigami? It’s amazing, it’s the first time I’ve seen a youkai who surrenders to a priestess. Even Kakotori-sama, the master of the gods, doesn’t have shikigami.”

Li Zi opened her eyes wide in surprise, "The Xiang Xiaoniao you are talking about is probably the witch who is with you?" They actually invited a shrine master as a teammate?This configuration is too luxurious.

"It's her," Katori Yuzuki said excitedly, "So you are really good, you have solved this shikigami, let's have a good competition."

"Get rid of this shikigami?" Shuten-douji narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's really a human being who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth."

"Or you put him away. It's not difficult to clean him up, but I don't want to waste time." Katori Yuzuki said.

Shuten-douji laughed out of anger, "What are you doing to put it away, please clean me up." He instantly released a huge demonic aura, and in an instant, fine crimson ripples swirled around him.

Katori Yuzuki was eroded by tremors all over her body, trembling slightly, "What is this?"

Ripples rolled her whole body together.In an instant, the sound of broken bones sounded, and the girl immediately fell down in an unnatural posture.Katori Yuzuki widened her eyes in horror, as if she had been a few seconds late to discover her own death, her body immediately turned into a clay doll and fell to the ground.

In the next second, Katori Yuzuki reappeared three meters away.With a look of luck and attention on his face, he bit his index finger and prepared to summon Shikigami.

"Substitute?" Jiu Tun Douzi slightly curled his lips, lowered his head and kicked the little clay doll, "This thing is expensive, see how many you have." He jumped out again, and for a while, black magic and yin and yang magic were intertwined Well, the median onmyojis who were fighting over the silver talisman paper had already given up this place.

Because of the loud noise of the battle, the surrounding onmyojis who were looking for spells were attracted one after another.Seeing that it was a high-level battle, the low-level and middle-level onmyojis were afraid of being affected, so they left immediately after just one glance.The high-ranking Onmyojis sat on the huge cedar tree mountain, watching the battle below with interest.

"Ah, that's Abe Seimei, right? That's amazing, the trash from Tosaryu dare to offend the number one in the individual competition."

"Probably want to eliminate Abe Seimei in advance."

"Ah, then we have to use all our strength. Eliminating Abe Seimei is also our Hinata-ryu Onmyoji's wish."

"Tsk tsk, it looks like it's going to be bad. The genius onmyoji who is said to be once in a hundred years in Tosa seems to be beaten to the point of losing his temper by the shikigami of that shikime."

"Hey, whose shikigami are you talking about? Miko? Even shikigami have shikigami these days? Damn, I don't have one yet. It seems that this shikigami is not an ordinary big monster, and the monster's aura is too huge .Kumihiko, your shikigami is a slaying ghost passed down to you by your teacher. He has a record of killing tens of thousands of ghosts. Isn’t he good too?”

"No." Hyuga Onmyouji called Xiong Yan shook his head, "You can tell just by looking at this evil spirit. It is more than twice my shikigami. Even Abe Seimei's two shikigami can't beat this Where is the big monster?"

"Wow, so powerful?" Several onmyojis from Hinata and Harima looked at the bored girl sitting on the root of the tree at the same time.

"It's very difficult to obtain a shikigami. Generally, you have to conquer the opponent, and you have to influence the opponent. Otherwise, the big monster would rather die than become a shikigami. Why does she still want to be a shrine maiden when she is so powerful? Isn't it good to be an onmyoji?"

"Strange, everyone has their own ambitions. Maybe they just like a quiet life."

"Then do we still need to grab the talisman paper?"

"If we want to grab, we can combine to eliminate them first."

"Well, as expected of Xiong Yan, then we will go find other schools of onmyoji soon."

With Shuten Doji's restraint on Katori Yuzuki.Seimei quickly pressed Shingo Inoue to the ground with two leaves so that he could not move.And the ghost shikigami released by Katori Yuzuki has long been wrapped up by the flying snake, unable to breathe out, and finally the Suzaku who turned into a big bird spit out a fire and disappeared.

Shingo Inoue roared angrily, "It's so unfair, you actually have two shikigami."

Seimei looked at him with some surprise, "It's strange, I have ten and it's my own business, who told you not to have any." He reached out and took out the fireworks from Shingo Inoue's talisman bag and let it go, officially announcing Inoue's death. Shingo's exit.

"Damn it." Shingo Inoue yelled unwillingly.

After being knocked out by Kitahara, the Xiang Xiaoniao priestess over there took the fireworks and released them.Shuten-douji also beat Katori Yuzuki until he hid in the ground, not daring to come out.

Lizi sat alone on a thick tree root, resting her chin on her hands and looking at everyone.She didn't even have a chance to release the paper cut, and the battle was about to end.

Shuten-douji took off the wine gourd, and gently turned the spout, and a violent flame burst out from the spout.He aimed the flame at the small hole in the ground and poured it in.

In an instant, the surface was like a roasted stew pot, steaming outwards.The surrounding vegetation withered instantly.Li Zi hurriedly raised her foot and put it on the root of the tree, feeling that the shoe was about to be roasted just now.

"Okay," Seimei said, "Tosarau's special skill is earth escape. Katori Yuzuki has already used the underground to escape. You can't force her to come out like this."

"I see." Shuten-douji picked up the wine gourd.He gently turned the spout back, and the gourd turned into sweet chrysanthemum wine again.He raised his head and took a sip, and immediately squinted his eyes comfortably.

Seeing that he had only taken a sip before hanging it back around his waist, Lizi asked a little strangely, "Why did you drink so much?" She remembered that when Shuten-douji first came, he sat on the roof drinking all day long.Hold the wine gourd and don't let go.

Jiu Tun-douji was slightly taken aback, "It will be gone after drinking."

"You can still buy it if you don't have it," Lizi said.

"I don't want to spend your money like that," Shuten-douji said softly, "I've asked the shikigami of other people's houses, they don't eat or drink and work for a year, at most they only need the master to make them a set of clothes. Some don’t even wear clothes. I can’t seem to find a shikigami who spends as much money as me.”

"That's right," Seimei immediately took up the quarrel, "You are too expensive. You can't find one in Ping'an Kyoto. What I do every day is to sit on the roof to see if I am close to Xiaoli. At night, I will be a bridge girl. So A shikigami that costs money and doesn’t work, it’s better to throw it away as soon as possible.”
