juvenile onmyoji

The ground was shaking violently.

It was just a slight tremor at first, but after a while, a strong shaking hit.People can't stand still, even if they lie on the ground, they will move due to tremors.The ground swayed casually from left to right, Qingming took Lizi's hand and ran barefoot into the courtyard together.

Several shikigami have gathered here.Not only that, even the little paper figurines and Naruya ran out, looking at each other.

When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and falling with the wind.The petals of the petals fell from this little earthquake, like a torrential rain.After the earthquake ended, a gust of wind blew the petals into the blue sky and disappeared.

"Are you okay?" Sunny asked.

"It's okay." Lizi stood up and patted the blades of grass on her skirt.Although there were earthquakes in Heian-kyo every day, it was the first time that the shaking was as severe as this time.

"Fortunately, the big array was set up at home, which made the house a lot stronger." Qingming said with a smile.

A large bird made of flames slowly fell from the sky and turned into a human form. "I flew around just now," Suzaku said, "Many houses in the nearby house are tilted. There are also collapsed houses farther away."

"Is it so powerful?" Lizi was a little surprised, "It seems that this earthquake was a bit serious. The houses of the people are not strong, and there should be more collapses."

"It looks like today is going to be very busy." Qingming said, "Every time there is an earthquake, Yinyang Liao will have to divination for good and bad luck. We also have to deal with strange things that occur frequently due to earthquakes."

In fact Yebisu Shrine is also very busy.

Riko arrived at the shrine in an ox cart.Although the shrine was safe and sound, the number of believers who came to pray suddenly increased.In addition, whenever there is a minor disaster, the shrine will take out food and distribute it to believers.The small shrine suddenly became busy.Even the big tengu who came with them were sent to distribute food.

"A lot of houses collapsed in Heian-kyo this time."

"Is the catfish god moving?"

"Let's go worship the catfish god in a while."

The believers talked one after another.

At night, while Lizi was sleeping, the mattress under her body suddenly shook.Left, right, down, wanton shaking.The furniture, walls and roof all made a toothache sound, as if someone was rubbing them hard.

She opened her eyes in horror, and saw Qingming broke into the door and pulled her up without any explanation.

By the time they ran out into the yard, the house had already collapsed in half.

There was dust everywhere.In the dark night, everyone's expressions could not be seen clearly, and Lizi could only feel Seimei's cold hands.

"Where is Masaki-sama?"

"Suzaku went to protect him. The formation is mainly set up in the front yard, so he should be fine," Qingming said.

Lizi looked back and saw that half of the house where she usually rested and played had collapsed, feeling very distressed.The board bridge connecting the two rooms was also punched out by a small stone beast on the roof.

"My cherry tree," she whispered.The weeping cherry trees Seimei had dug up in the mountains were still inside the house.It collapsed so thoroughly, it must have been smashed flat.

"That shouldn't matter," Seimei said, "The cherry tree is covered with a barrier, so it won't be broken."

Ibaraki pulled out a string of paper light bulbs tied with hemp rope from his bosom.The yard suddenly lit up.Riko originally thought that the Kawazu Sakura in the yard must have been broken due to the earthquake.Unexpectedly, it was well covered with a layer of light blue enchantment.

"I've been sitting under the cherry tree," said Ootengu, "when I saw the earthquake, I pulled a barrier."

Because the small courtyard is protected by shikigami, the damage is not serious.In Ping'an capital, many houses and towers collapsed.Pressured by collapsed houses and towers, many civilians were injured.

Two large earthquakes in one day made Emperor Kimura fall ill all of a sudden.

At this moment, Teng Snake came back.

He returned home with a small bundle, which contained souvenirs for everyone.

"I slept for a really long time this time." Qingming said with a smile.

Teng Snake smiled embarrassedly, "I don't know what's going on, I've been asleep for so long. If it wasn't for this earthquake, I'm afraid I'm still in a deep sleep."

"Could it be something wrong with the body," Seimei asked a little worriedly, "The snake's hibernation is not so long, is it? The cherry blossoms are about to wither."

"Well, probably not..." Teng She Na Na murmured, "I think I'm quite strong." He punched himself twice.

With the light of the light bulb, other shikigami began to build houses together with Naruya and paper figurines.Teng Snake also put down his burden and ran to help.

When the shrine master arrived, the house had just been rebuilt with the cooperation of Naruya and shikigami.

"That's great Xiaoli, it seems that your family's loss is not serious. I was worried that when I came to see you, you would be too busy to take care of the family affairs." The priest said with a smile.

"Does the shrine need manpower?" Riko asked.

"I need you to go out of the house." The God Master said, "This time the earthquake is a bit violent and too frequent. The divination result given by Yinyangliao is that the catfish god in the ground is moving."

"It's that catfish god." Lizi blinked her eyelashes lightly.She made offerings to this god when she was in the countryside of Omi.Legend has it that the giant catfish held up the entire Japanese archipelago.Every earthquake is because He is moving.

"The God of Catfish has restrained himself very much because he doesn't want to disappoint the love of the believers." The Lord said, "But we can't ask him to remain motionless like a dead fish."

There is a reason why the God Lord has no respect for the Catfish God.Yebisu Shrine and Catfish Shrine have always been at odds.The reason is that many of the believers are fishermen.Natsuyu Shrine is in charge of fishing, and Yebisu Shrine is also in charge of fishing.It is commonplace to dislike each other and slander each other for being bad.

"Generally, everyone can understand the slight vibration. But this time, it moved too frequently."

Just as the Almighty finished speaking, the ground began to shake again.Although it was only a few seconds, the ground of the courtyard cracked two finger-width cracks.Inserted directly under the fence like lightning.The screams of people and the cries of children came from around again.

"God Master, what do I need to do?" Lizi hurriedly helped the God Master who was sitting on the ground up.

"Ah, that's how it is." The priest stood firm and flicked the ashes from his body. "Every major shrine will send a priestess to pray to the catfish god. You are the priestess sent by Yebisu Shrine. What do you think? Just mixed numbers. You know, gods generally only answer prayers from shrine maidens at their own shrines. You can go home after a cutscene."

"Okay, when will we gather?" Lizi asked.

"Right now."

Before the morning light broke, Li Zi arrived outside the capital of Ping'an in the bullock cart of the God Master.Dozens of witches have gathered here.

Speaking of it, dozens of shrines, large and small, gathered in the small Heian-kyo.In addition to the well-known Ebisu for fortune, Kawai Shrine for beauty, Tenmangu for learning, and Catfish Shrine for the great god of catfish, there are also many small shrines that Riko heard about for the first time.

Wisteria Flower Shrine, because people like to plant wisteria flowers very much, so there is a wisteria flower shrine to pray for their own wisteria flowers to bloom more beautifully.

Landlord Shrine, where there is a god of marriage that prays for marriage.Yasui Konpira Shrine, where you can cut off bad ties if you have a bond with a god.In addition to the evil relationship between men and women, it can also cut off the evil relationship such as disease and alcohol addiction.

In addition, there are those who beg for children, those who are begging for popularity, those who beg the chickens in the family to lay more eggs, and those who beg the neighbor's dog to be less barking. Now Lizi finally understands the saying of 800 million gods.As long as there is a need, even if the other party is a broom, he can become a god.

No wonder everyone was nervous after graduating from Ise Shrine and assigning everyone where to go.It turned out that I was worried about being assigned to a strange shrine.She went to Ebisu at that time, and everyone cast envious eyes.It is really enviable to be able to go to Yebisu Shrine.

The sky gradually turned white, and dozens of short mats were laid out at the gate of Heianjing.The nearby people heard that the witches were going to pray to the catfish god, and they all came out to watch.

It was completely bright.

After the witches sang the Divine Comedy, each received an oracle charm, and they could begin to listen to the oracle.

This oracle spell is an onmyoji that amplifies the sound.If the witch hears the voice of the catfish god, she will release it through the spell in her hand.This is done to comfort the hearts of the people.Let them hear the voice of the catfish god most directly.See why there are frequent earthquakes.

Except for the special profession of witches who can communicate with the gods, no one has ever heard the voice of the gods, from the nobles to the common people.Therefore, there are a lot of people who come to watch.Even more people than the annual Obon Festival.Even Emperor Kimura dragged his sick body and lay in a bullock cart to watch secretly.

Everyone wants to hear the voice of the gods, and also wants to know why the catfish god is so active.

Even though there were many onlookers, the priestesses couldn't lift their spirits.As we all know, the gods only respond to the shrine maidens.So today's public prayer is just for those who accompany the catfish shrine.I don't know who came up with the idea, it was clearly stepping on all the shrines to promote catfish.

Even if I feel upset, I have to say what I want to say on the scene.Everyone smiled and said to the maiden at the Catfish Shrine, "Please, release the oracle early, so everyone can go home."

The shrine maiden of Natsuyu Shrine raised her nostrils very high, she glanced lazily at Riko, and she did not forget to step on Ebisu's foot while being proud, "Actually, I think Ebisu Shrine can do things like listening to the oracle. Since everyone is in charge of the fishery, there is no reason why the Nanyu Shrine can hear it, but the Yebisu Shrine can’t hear it. Unless Yebisu doesn’t work.”

Riko was right next to the Catfish Miko, and she knew it was meant for her.She ignored it, and closed her eyes casually, clasped her hands together.I want to make a good show.After all, she listens differently than others.She used to be able to listen to several gods at the same time.

The people stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look into the group of witches.As long as the oracle is successfully heard, the spell in the witch's hand will turn into a ray of light.But now, more than 40 spells are firmly in the hands of the witches.There was a mess of noise around, and there was no so-called oracle at all.

Half an hour passed.The people gradually lost their patience and began to chatter.

"It's okay, there's no sound at all."

"This year's witches can't do it, let's change to another batch."

"Will we be abandoned by the gods? Or the emperor did something wrong and the gods will punish us?"

"I heard that the emperor has a daughter who was seduced by evil spirits."

"Ah, it really is the emperor who did something wrong, so we were punished together."

"The Emperor did something wrong." "The Emperor did something wrong."

The people whispered to each other.The sound reached the emperor's ox cart, and the emperor was suddenly very depressed.Originally, he just wanted to join in the fun, but he didn't expect to hear everyone saying that he was not good.He began to gradually anger the person who gave the idea.

The person who came up with the idea is the shrine master of the catfish shrine.She managed to get His Majesty to agree to this large-scale event.I want to greatly increase the prestige of the catfish shrine.I thought the other witches were running with me.Unexpectedly, the catfish god even ignored the priestess of this shrine.

"It shouldn't be," she murmured, "Usually the Great God likes to chat with everyone."

Catfish God is a lively fish.In order to live up to the expectations of the believers, he suppressed his restless temperament and tried to stay as still as possible on the bottom of the sea.If the body does not move, the mind must roll every day.So he likes chatting with witches very much.This is also the confidence that the Almighty dared to hold the event.

Time passed minute by minute.The voices of ridicule from the people are getting louder and louder.The witches also looked at the catfish witch with doubts on their faces.It was embarrassing to run with him.The other party has been slow to let out the voice of the gods, and the embarrassing time has been too long.On purpose?

Sweat trickled down the catfish witch's forehead.As long as the prayer is successful, she will be the most prestigious maiden in Heian-kyo.Even with the same reputation as He Mao Zhongxing, it is not impossible for his name to spread throughout the island.As long as the catfish master can speak, as long as the catfish master can speak.

She kept praying in her heart, speaking, God!God!God!

"It's so itchy..."

There was a listless voice in the void.

"Ah, God of Catfish." The Miko of Catfish Shrine was instantly refreshed and opened her eyes in surprise.But seeing that everyone's shocked eyes were not cast on her, they seemed to be a little bit away from her position.

what happened?She looked down at the charm in her hand.The spell was lifeless, without any light at all.She looked to the side again, and the talisman in the hand of the priestess of Yebisu Shrine emitted a ray of light, rushing straight into the blue sky.

The voice of the great catfish god kept coming out of that ray of light, "It's so itchy, who can scratch it for me. If no one comes, I will continue to rub my back against the ground."

The onlookers were suddenly in an uproar.Not only was there an uproar over the catfish god's reason for the earthquake, but they were also excited because they actually heard the oracle.

This is the voice of God.Their gazes at Lizi suddenly became wild.A priestess who can talk directly to the gods means that she can directly convey her wishes to the gods.This is much higher than the success rate of worshiping gods.Not only the common people, but even the nobles have piercing eyes.The idea of ​​marriage came into my mind.

Minamoto Raimitsu was also watching in the crowd, and when he heard everyone's discussion, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I suddenly felt that it would be good if the engagement was not withdrawn."

Yuan Chuyu suddenly showed ecstatic eyes, "I think so too."

"I don't think so." There was a voice in his mind, it was Yamata's voice.

Yuan Chuyu's heart sank suddenly, he didn't expect Yamata no Orochi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, to see things through his eyes again.

The emperor in the bullock cart also cheered up, and kept asking the servants, "Which family's maiden is it?" It was really urgent.When the common people said that he was insane, this oracle was simply a breath of fresh air.

"Shimizu Rikako Priestess of Ebisu Shrine."

"Shimizu pear flower seeds?"

Why is it her again?She and Qingming seemed to come here specially to empty his wallet.

Lizi couldn't hear the noise around her, and her ears were completely clear, except for the constant complaints of the catfish god.

"It's itchy, it's really itchy."

Hearing the voice of the great catfish god, she knew she was about to suffer.Originally, I was just pretending to be casual, but I didn't expect that I could connect with the gods in this way.She hurriedly prepared to clap her hands to end.At this moment, another voice came from the void.

"Yuedu-kun, there is an activity to listen to the oracle in Heianjing today, do you want to watch the fun?"

whose voice is this?

The originally noisy crowd fell silent in an instant.Monthly reader?Is it Luna?

"No," came the man's lazy voice. "What's so good about a catfish tickling? Listen to a fish moaning and moaning?"

"That's right, then I won't go either."

"I heard you speak ill of me, Tsukiyomi and Amaterasu." An annoyed voice came from the catfish god in the void.

"Hey, how did you hear our conversation?" Amaterasu was very surprised.

"Xiaoli." Qingming rushed out from the crowd of onlookers.He remembered that when Li Zi listened to the oracle, she always had difficulty controlling herself.I'm afraid she is now in a state of unconsciousness again.

"Oh, so it's that child." Amaterasu said.

"Which child?" Yueyue asked.

"Hey, so everyone can hear it?" Another strange voice joined.

"Is that you, Ebisu?"

"It's me, what's wrong Izanami?"

Qingming hugged Lizi, and Lizi fell into his arms in an instant, her eyes closed tightly and she looked very uncomfortable.The oracle was interrupted.Qingming pulled up a barrier and put her down.He took out peppermint water from his pocket and cast a spell to wake her up.

"I just……"

"You heard many gods just now." Seimei said with a headache.

"It seems so." Lizi was still a little groggy.In the paragraph just now, it seemed that several gods regarded her as a carrier for online calls.The will of one god can still bear it, and the will of many gods can be received, and her body can't bear it all at once.

The crowd outside the barrier erupted.Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, Ebisu, Natsuki and Izanami.Unexpectedly, they could hear the voices of so many gods in their lifetime.It's too powerful.I have never seen a priestess who can win the favor of so many gods at once.

The nobles' eyes became even brighter, planning to invite a matchmaker after the ceremony.

Now even the emperor was moved, and began to think about his sons in his heart.A shrine maiden who can get responses from so many gods, even the legendary Himiko would not dare to say that.This is simply the chosen one.If there are any problems in the future, the child can convey them on his behalf.

The air inside the barrier shook slightly, and Ebisu appeared in the barrier, glanced at Riko and nodded, "That's right. You pray with Ben Pingling, of course you will hear everyone's voices."

"Why can I hear the voices of so many gods with my Ben Pingling?" This matter has troubled her for a long time.Being able to hear a god's conversation without being noticed by the other party is a very dreadful thing in itself.

"Because of the lock," Ebisu said with a smile, "the lock can lock everything. Everything is defenseless in His eyes, so of course you can hear everyone's voice."

"So that's the reason." Qingming said with a smile, "Then what should we do now, will the gods know the existence of Ben Pingling?"

"That's why I came here first to confirm," Ebisu said, "I will tell them that in order to make the shrine famous, they used treasures that can connect to the gods. They don't know anything anyway."

"But will that be bad for you?" Lizi asked.

"Originally, everyone was wary of each other, but now we're even more wary. It's okay." Ebisu said, "Okay, I'll send you to the bottom of the sea now."

"Send it to the bottom of the sea, why?" Lizi asked in surprise.

"Catfish whiskers can help people who go to sea find what they want." Yebisu said with a smile, "Sometimes, catfish will give his followers a little beard. Fishermen who get the beard can quickly Find the largest school of fish quickly."

"Ah, I see," said Pear. "With the beard, we can find the island."

"Well. That's why I'm sending you to the bottom of the sea." Ebisu said, "Now that you know what's bothering the catfish, let's help him out."

A ray of light shone down, and Lizi and Qingming disappeared at the same time.

In the next second, icy sea water swept in.Lizi closed her eyes in panic, but the feeling of suffocation in her imagination did not strike.Both nose and mouth can breathe freely.She opened her eyes suspiciously, Seimei's smiling face reflected in her pupils.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"It's onmyoji." Qingming said.

"I remember that the yin and yang technique you used on the seabed was a big bubble."

"Well, I wanted to get closer to you, so I used Bubble Onmyoji." Seimei said with a smile.

Riko remembered that she had no choice but to sit on Seimei's body because of the small space in the bubble. "And now? Do you think I'm too close?"

"Of course not. We might have to scratch the catfish master later, it's inconvenient to be in the bubble." Qingming took her hand and swam forward.

"Where are we now?" Lizi looked down at the dark bottom of the sea.

"Between the catfish god's back and the bottom of the island."

"How could it be in such a place?" Lizi was a little surprised, "I thought the catfish master's back was tightly attached to the ground."

"How could it be so flat? There are always gaps." Seimei released the Illuminating Technique, causing the huge ball of light to light up the field of vision.

"Who dares to run on my back? Come out quickly, or I will be rude." The sea water suddenly surged, and the buzzing sound of the catfish god came.

"God Ebisu sent us here to relieve your worries." Lizi said crisply, "Where are you itching? I wonder if there is a way to guide us?"

"It's Ebisu." There was a little joy in the voice of Catfish God.He was very uncomfortable because the dialogue of the gods meant to belittle him.Seeing that the old master Ebisu actually sent someone to relieve his worries, he suddenly felt a little flattered.

"I'll shine a little light to show you the way." The Catfish God said happily.

A speck of light flew over like a firefly.The light spots quickly floated into the gap between the ground and the back of the fish.Qingming pulled Li Zi and followed.

The light quickly stopped.Seimei directs the ball of light to shine over it.Several fist-sized crabs crawled impressively on the back of the fish.They saw the light and hurriedly crawled, and the voice of the catfish god came from the sea again, "Have you found it yet? It's tickling me to death."

"I found it," Lizi said with a smile, "a dozen crabs are crawling around. Let's catch them and see if they are still itchy."

Qingming took out two talisman papers from his pocket, and with a light shake, they turned into two big cloth bags.He gave one to Li Zi, and the two started to catch crabs.

The catfish god's back is as hard as a rock.In some places, it was slippery like touching layers of mud.While trying to prevent herself from sinking, Lizi used a cloth bag to hold the crawling crabs.

At this moment, the sea water vibrated again, and the catfish god's voice was full of dissatisfaction, "Who are you? Why are so many people breaking into my sea area?"

Lizi was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at Qingming.Seimei put a finger to her lips.

A trembling voice came from a man in the distance, "Master, we are Yinyangliao Onmyoji, as well as the priest and priestess of your shrine. Hearing that your back is itchy, I came here with scratches to help you relieve your worries."

"It's Liaotou." Qingming heard it, and whispered to Lizi.

"Take a look at what's scratching me." The catfish master still had an unhappy voice.

"This is it."

"Isn't this a big sledge?" The Catfish God was taken aback, "My body is full of treasures. Are you using such a big sledge to hook some fish off my body?"

"No, no, of course not." Liotou was startled by the catfish master's fierce voice, and then remembered that catfish has a very suspicious and tricky personality. "Look, there are also the priests and priestesses of your shrine here. We are really here to relieve your worries."

"Even if it's my own shrine, it can't prevent the other party from having other thoughts." The catfish master continued to spread his persecution paranoia, "No, thank you for your kindness. I already have someone who can relieve my worries. "The catfish god shook his four beards triumphantly.

"Are you ready?" The buzzing voice came again.Lizi knew that this sentence was meant for them.She smiled, put the last crab into the cloth bag and replied loudly, "Okay."

Qingming pulled her to swim out quickly.

Unbelievable voices came from the crowd in the distance, "Isn't that Qingming and the chosen son Qingshui Lihuazi?" "Why did they get the permission of the catfish god?" "No wonder they suddenly disappeared just now."

Pear showed the crab in the bag to the catfish.

"It turned out that these little things made me feel uncomfortable for several days. Pour them all into my mouth in a while." Said the great catfish god who must retaliate.He looked at Lizi and Seimei with two wide-open eyes, "I know what Ebisu means. He sent you here in person, so naturally he won't let you work for nothing. Take this for you. "

Liaotou and Catfish Lord opened their eyes wide in surprise, it turned out that Yebisu sent it in by himself.What the hell is it that can let a god do the teleportation himself.

The catfish master shook his beard lightly, a small dot separated from the beard and floated towards the pear.

Everyone immediately glued their eyes of envy, greed, or jealousy.

That's the catfish's whiskers known as the treasure of the sea, where everything can be found.Take this beard to the sea, and even find the silent treasure in the bottom of the sea.

Lizi stretched out her hand to take it with a smile, and finally got it.
