juvenile onmyoji

Lizi blinked lightly, how could she answer this?

Of course it wasn't her, it was the native Xiaolihua.

"We need to clarify things." Seimei said, "There is definitely something wrong with Yuan Chuyu's memory. I don't exist in the memory. It seems that you have memories of adulthood, but you don't know my father."

Seimei paused and glanced at the bewildered Ibaraki.

"Let's go back first, it looks like it's getting late. Let's go back and talk about anything."

Lizi nodded, watching him seal the memory fragments.

When they returned to the boat, Yuan Chuyu and Ashiya Michiman had already returned first.Suzaku is grilling sea fish, she is brushing the sauce layer by layer, the golden grilled fish exudes a tempting taste.

Yuan Chuyu was staring at the sea in a daze, and Ashiya Michiman kept asking Suzaku how many pieces a person could eat.

Qingming glanced at Yuan Chuyu, then deliberately turned to Lizi and asked, "How many memories did you read today?"

Lizi immediately understood that he wanted to test Yuan Chuyu, and immediately said, "I saw three. One of them is a memory from my childhood."

"Really?" Qingming said with a smile, "I'm so lucky, you can find your own memory among so many fragments."

"That's it." Lizi nodded, "It's my memory when I was four years old."

Yuan Chuyu, who was facing the sea, froze slightly.

"What can a four-year-old do?" Qingming asked with interest.

"That time I went to General Raikou's house with my father," Lizi said.

Yuan Chuyu cast his eyes on her, as if waiting for her to speak.

"General Raikou's wife died of illness, and I went to mourn with my father. When I came out, I saw Masaki-sama and his wife."

"Oh, are they my father and mother?" Qingming asked, "Then I must have gone too, didn't you see me?"

"Hmm, I don't remember." Lizi said, "Did Seimei-sama be born at that time?"

"I was born," Yuan Chuyu suddenly said, "Qingming is the same age as me. My father said that the midwife who delivered me had just finished picking me up, and then she went to Mrs. Mashizai's house to deliver Qingming."

"So you were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day?" Lizi was a little surprised.

"It seems so." Qingming said, his eyes sank again, as if he was thinking about something.

Pear also fell silent.Seimei obviously does not exist in Yuan Chuyu's memory.But he said Qingming was born on the same day as him.What went wrong here?

"You said before that you forgot what happened when you were a child," Yuan Chuyu said suddenly, "Then after reading the memory, do you still remember what you said at that time?"

What did you say at that time?Pear frowned slightly.

"You said that you will come again when the wisteria flowers cascade down from the wall of my house like a waterfall. Now, the wisteria flowers are blooming on several walls, but you live in Qingming's house." Yuan Chuyu said lightly. explain.

"That sentence," Lizi said slightly unnaturally, "I was too young at the time, so I forgot after I said it."

Yuan Chuyu slightly raised the corners of his lips, "You forget what you said, but I listened carefully as if it were an imperial decree. I didn't merge with monsters, and I didn't fight against my father anymore to stop learning Yin Yang. Just because you said I He will definitely be a very powerful onmyoji in the future."

His voice was getting lower and lower, "I picked out the best seeds and wanted to give them to you when you came. But, you just forget about it."

Pear lowered her eyes, feeling guilty.The little girl whom Yuan Chuyu promised was long gone.

Ashiya Michimitsu answered from the side, "You are the one who is stupid. How can you take what you said when you were young? When I was young, I made an appointment to be a couple with the girl next door. She married three times, and she didn't think about me. .Children’s words are just jokes, children’s words are not taboo.”

"Yeah, it's just a joke." Yuan Chuyu raised his eyes to look at Li Zi, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Sorry, I was thinking too much. I'll return the jade fish to you when I get back."

Yuan Chuyu turned his face away after saying this, trying to block his red eyes.The hand blocked by the wide sleeve was tightly clenched into a fist, and the nails scratched the palm without feeling pain.

At this moment, he finally understood why his mother wanted to merge with the monster.There is no reason for the weak.Just like he is now, receiving the favor of the other party, sitting in a warm boat.Even if I feel wronged in my heart, I can't say it.To say it is to make trouble for no reason.How can things from childhood be taken seriously?

Yeah, how could he take it seriously?

What a fool.

……

The next day, Qingming proposed to go to Memory Valley again.But Yuan Chuyu and Ashiya Michiman couldn't say it.

A memory that said he always picked up animals, either rabbits eating grass, or foxes catching rabbits.It's a headache to see too much of this memory.One said lightly that he didn't want to watch it.

After Rika and Seimei left, Ashiya Michimi murmured to Yuan Chuyu in a low voice, "The signaling beads are all crushed. Why hasn't the master come yet?"

Yamata is holding a glowing stick at the bottom of the valley, constantly stirring memory fragments.As he stirred, the surrounding memory fragments slowly rotated like a vortex.

Yamata was having a good time, when he suddenly heard the sound of walking footsteps.

"Oh, your sister is here again."

"Aren't you finished yet?" Shimizu Hayato asked.

"It's so easy," Yamata complained, "Didn't you see how big this place is? Although the big formation has been set up, the speed of refining these fragments is too slow. If you don't stir the fragments into pieces, you don't know what to do." It can be done in time. Your sister is always running here."

Hayato Shimizu was silent for a moment, "How about this, let's go hide in the cedar tree again. You rest at night, and I will break the pieces."

"Farewell, it's me." Saying so, Yamata jumped up to the top of the huge fir tree, found a thick branch, and lay down with his legs crossed.

"Eat the lucky fruit today." Seimei said.

"Will you be able to find memories related to me after eating it?" Lizi asked.

"It should be like this." Qingming said, "but this fruit is very small, and the lucky time should be very short. We have to search faster."

Pear nodded, although the lucky value increased.However, due to too many memory fragments, it is very difficult to find them.If you can find two, you are absolutely lucky.

She took out the Seimei-sealed lucky fruit from her pocket.She put her two fingers together and slowly drew down along the center line of the sealed ball.The sealing ball immediately dug open to both sides, revealing a bright red fruit the size of a jujube.

The fruit was put into her mouth, and it disappeared before she could taste it.

"What's the smell?" Seimei asked curiously.

"Too fast, didn't taste it."

Seimei's originally frowning brows opened, and he couldn't help but say, "I heard that the things grown in Tsukiyomi's kingdom are bitter. It seems that the luck of this fruit has begun to work. I can't taste the taste." , itself is a kind of luck.”

"Why are the things grown by Yuedushen Shenguo bitter?" Lizi asked.

"He once killed the God of Grains because of a misunderstanding," Seimei said, "The God of Grains gave him a curse before he died, which was to sow any kind of bitterness."

"So that's how it is." Lizi imagined for a moment, "Do gods eat?"

"Eat. But not for survival, like we eat snacks."

"Didn't I miss the opportunity to eat fruit that month? God Yebisu even planted grapes."

"He can eat other people's."

Riko walked to the canyon while talking to Seimei.

Same as last time, Ibaraki was still carrying her down.Hover an inch above the debris and rummage through it.

"Master Qingming," Li Zi frowned while searching, "Do you think the fragments are much smaller than what you saw yesterday?"

"Well," Qingming nodded, "it's really much smaller. I just turned around and touched a piece of debris."

"Will the memory fragments still break by themselves?" Lizi asked doubtfully, "Then my memory fragments are also broken? If they are broken, we will come in vain."

"It's not in vain," Seimei said, "at least we saw Yuan Chuyu's memory. That fragment is very valuable. It makes me feel as if we are getting closer to the truth."

"Is it near?" Lizi casually threw away the memory fragments she picked up in her hand.The piece just now was a memory of a strange woman getting married.

"Not this one either." She threw another piece away.In order to quickly find her own memory fragments, she only looked at each fragment once.

"what?"

"What's wrong?" Qingming immediately raised his head and asked.

"Here, why is there a piece of red?" The moment she picked it up, her pupils dilated slightly.A face exactly like myself appeared in my mind.is her memory.

"Have you found it?" Qingming strode over.

"Well," she forcibly pulled herself out of memory, "I found it, it's the red one." She handed it to Qingming.

"Red?" Seimei took it puzzled, "Isn't this silver? All memory fragments are of this color."

"Is this the luck brought by the lucky fruit?" Lizi suddenly realized, "In my eyes, as long as the memory fragments belong to me, they are all red. If I had known, I would not have read each piece."

"Is that so?" Qingming looked at the fragment in his hand in surprise, and then he sealed the fragment. "I don't know how long the lucky fruit can last. Let's look for it again and take it back to see."

Li Zi nodded and turned to look for the pieces.This time, she didn't look at the pieces one by one, but rummaged through a lot, the red was still very conspicuous in the silver.Before sunset, she found two more pieces.

"Hiss." Lizi frowned slightly, a thin cut was drawn on her finger.Because he turned too fast and was scratched by a sharp piece of debris, a little blood gushed out of the wound.

"I feel like my luck is over."

Seimei pulled out a healing talisman, let the shimmer shine on her finger, and the wound healed immediately.

"I think it's about the same. The sky is getting dark, let's go back early." Qingming said, "Although this island has not seen any ferocious animals for the time being. But the place that allows time to pass and leave things is itself unusual. "

Lizi nodded, handed the found memory fragments to Seimei to seal, and left the canyon.

……

At nightfall, a shimmering barrier enveloped the room tightly.

Qingming took out the first fragment Li Zi found, "Let's look at this one first."

The two hold one end of the fragment at the same time.Compared with Seimei's gaze of a bystander, Lizi was directly drawn into her own memory.

Consciousness is getting hazy, but vision is strangely clear.

On a pitch-black night, the moon was so tightly covered by clouds that not even a corner could be exposed.

She hid in the cage, and a large smell of blood poured into her nostrils. This smell and sound made the girl in the dark feel very clearly.Outside the cage, the mountain spirit tore at Sushi Granny's body and stuffed the flesh into his mouth, making a "crack-crack" sound.

will die?Must die.How can humans beat monsters?

She lowered her head in despair, tears welling from the corners of her eyes.Grandma and everyone in the village were all eaten by monsters.It's all Zhuang Zhang's fault.It's supposed to be a festival of throwing beans to drive away ghosts, but because of stinginess, we don't give out beans to drive away ghosts.

It's her turn next, right?

"Ha, so you are here." The lid of the box above his head was lifted, and an ugly face appeared in the dim light.Drool dripped from the monster's ear-to-ear mouth, onto her skirt. "You smell so good, I smell something different from humans. Your smell should be quite good."

She hurriedly pushed the mountain spirit away, and crawled out of the box with limp hands and feet, the bemping bell around her waist making a pleasant sound.

"There are still people here, I thought they were all eaten up." A teenager pushed open the creaking door and walked in.A pair of world-weary eyes looked at her and the monster impatiently.

The young man's expression was indifferent, his facial features were sharp and clear, and he had a smile that didn't reach his eyes, making it difficult to get close.

"Help me." She heard a hoarse voice in her throat.

"It's really troublesome," the young man pulled out a spell, "I didn't expect that after learning this thing, saving people would become my duty."

"Ah, shouldn't it be an Onmyoji?" Shan Jing's eyes widened in surprise, staring at the talisman paper held in the opponent's finger.

"It happens to be the Onmyoji." Although the boy's tone was polite, his voice was extremely cold.

The mountain spirit tensed up when he heard the expected answer.It rolled its eyes, and said with a firm mouth, "So what if it's an onmyoji? The onmyoji I've had, there are not eight hundred, but one thousand..."

Its words came to an end here, and a ray of light penetrated its body.

It fell down in an unnatural position, its eyes widened in astonishment, as if it had been a few seconds late to discover its own death.Then its body was burned into a pile of powder by the light.

"Who are you?" Lizi asked, looking up at the young man who hadn't moved a step since standing at the door.Standing with his back to the light, the firelight outlined an orange outline on his body.

"Ask my name," the young man said lazily, raising his world-weary eyes, "My name is Yuan Chuyu."

The scene changed again, she was sitting in the bullock cart looking out the window, which was He Mao Zhongxing's home.A group of onmyojis are coming out of it.Among this group of people, Shu Yuan Chuyu stood out the most.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Yuan Chuyu jumped onto the bullock cart.

"Not very long."

"The teacher's lecture took a little longer today. You are going to buy talisman paper. Let's go to the store on Karasuma Koji." Yuan Chuyu said.

The bullock cart was moving forward along the flat two roads, she looked out the window, and gently touched her bedding with her fingers in thought.Beside him, Yuan Chuyu was lecturing on what happened in Onmyoji.

"The teacher said that I can try to participate in the assessment of the median onmyoji this time. If the assessment is successful, I will be the first person in this age to obtain the median qualification."

Lizi turned her face away and said with a smile, "That's really great."

The carriage was quiet for a while, Yuan Chuyu said softly, "When I get the first position, I will ask my father to finalize the marriage contract."

"That matter," she said flatly, "I don't really care. You don't have to argue with Raikou-sama for me."

Yuan Chuyu pursed his lips tightly, a gloomy look flashed across his eyes, "You still have the intention of retiring the engagement, right?"

Li Zi looked out of the window, she was originally a person from another time and space, and for some reason a Benping bell appeared in her pocket.Traveling across time, he found himself in a woman's belly.So she was born holding Ben Pingling.The family members were very happy, thinking that Ben Pingling was the will of the gods.

She always wanted to understand the secret of Ben Pingling, until she found out that killing the monster would slowly fill the wooden sign in the bell.Since this is the secret of the wooden sign.

Then she will soon know the purpose of the wooden sign that brought her.What happens when it's all filled?There was only one thing on her mind right now.As for the rest of the mess, she wasn't interested at all.

The painting is full of changes again, in the dark night, there is a faint light shining through the clouds.

She was standing under a camphor tree, not far from the towering gate of Xiguan Temple.There was a monster there who played the flute all night.She touched the satchel on her back and pulled out a paper-cut snake.She whistled slightly, and the paper snake immediately turned into a real snake.

"Look it out for me," she said softly.

The little snake rubbed her head affectionately against her fingers, and quickly walked from the ground into the gate of Xiguan Temple.

After a while, a monster holding a flute emerged from the air, it bared its sharp teeth, "So it's you? The witch who can conjure everything. You almost killed all the monsters in Heianjing It seems that I have never harmed human beings, and I, who only hide in the temple and play the flute, will become your prey tonight?"

Lizi smiled lightly, and even the monster who was facing life and death couldn't help but be slightly taken aback when she saw her delicate and beautiful face.

"All monsters have to die, there is no distinction between good and bad. For me, you are just a kind of nourishment."

"Understood," the monster put away the bamboo flute carefully, "in that case, let me start." It took a sharp breath, and its body swelled to several times its size.It is as tall as the mountain gate of Xiguan Temple.

"Will it leak air if you pierce your belly?" The girl's kimono seemed to be lifted by the wind, and her body floated into the air.

She took out a paper-cut blow drum from her satchel, and with the whistling wind, the monster's pupils constricted suddenly.It was a huge dragon.The bulging scales on his body are as hard as iron.

The giant dragon swiped fiercely at the monster with the tip of its scaled wings, and the wind blew up for a while.The monster managed to dodge, a black shadow flew down, its left arm was cut off, and it flew into the air.

The monster screamed sternly, and recognized the flying black shadow as the girl's Shikigami Otengu.

"That's right, it looks like a quick victory today." Li Zi smiled lightly, and pulled out a piece of talisman paper.For a moment, I thought she was the center of the thin blue ripples.The ripples wrapped around the body of the youkai who was kneeling on one knee with its arms clasped, swallowing it up in an instant.

A gleam of light flew from the monster's body into the girl's Benping bell.There was a crisp sound in the night.

All of this was seen by Yuan Chuyu who was standing in the corner.Half of the boy's figure fell into the light, and the other half disappeared into the night.

"See, how can you keep up with her when you are weak?" A small voice rang in his ear, "I helped your mother once. I made her strong. But your father didn't care Killed her indiscriminately. What a pity."

"Isn't it because of you that my mother lost herself?"

"There will be some changes in personality when merging with monsters. But you are still you. We are just a symbiotic relationship. The combined strength of two people is always greater than that of one person."

"Think about it. If things go on like this, this pretty little girl might be snatched away by her dog. Have you seen that? That boy named Daitengu is loyal and has a beauty no less than yours."

The pears have never hidden the smell of the wooden sign.Although she was also surprised that even sitting quietly could attract monsters.But the continuous stream of monsters is simply giving away heads on their own initiative.She also readily accepted.

"Is it all right, my lord?" Ootengu said after assisting her in killing another youkai, "It looks like your lord's lock is attracting these youkai."

"Anyway, we also need monsters to fill the wooden sign, and we can't think of a way to solve the smell of the wooden sign. What should we do?" Lizi flipped through the monster album nonchalantly.Most of the monsters above are marked with red crosses.This means being harvested by her.

"Well, who else is there? There is only half a tadpole left. I need a big monster."

Daitengu frowned to help her think, and glanced at the cover of the monster album, "My lord, I heard that Shuten-douji is not far from Heian-kyo on Mount Oe. He is a well-known king of ghosts. Let's harvest him."

"Shuten-douji," Riko hesitated, "I heard that he is very powerful. And there are many monsters under his command. There is also a big monster named Ibaraki-douji and Hoshikuma-douji as assistants. Don't even retreat in the end. Neither can."

"My lord's paper-cutting plus me, we have thousands of troops. You can try it." Big Tengu said.

Li Zi looked at the lazy young man on the cover and nodded, "Okay, I've seen him as a dislike for a long time. It took up the cover for so long. My favorite girl should be drawn here."

Outside the window, the wisterias in the yard are growing vigorously, and the walls are covered with vines of wisterias.Heavy bunches of wisteria hang down like a waterfall.Below the "Waterfall", a tiny shadow heard the conversation, and ran out of the wall without a sound.

Three days later, the monsters of Dajiang Mountain filled the mountain stream.They stared at the girl and her shikigami smiling at them not far away.

"Ah, it's really hateful." Ibaraki said, "Why did you suddenly come to find trouble with us in Dajiangshan? Aren't there enough monsters in Heianjing for her to kill?"

Xingxiong boy said with a smile, "You are very beautiful. Our Dajiangshan just needs a mistress."

"Get out." Jiu Tun said coldly, he narrowed his red eyes full of evil spirits, and looked at the girl in the distance.

After a long time, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Not bad."

When it comes to the timeline, some chapters may be a little more difficult to understand.But will explain the ins and outs very quickly.This memory is important.Everyone can also guess why there is no Seimei in Xiaoli's memory?The foreshadowing is in the first few chapters~

Ps, the flute-playing monster played by Lizi appeared in Chapter 30.The monk who can play the flute hidden in Xiguan Temple is this monster.So some things just go wrong.In Seimei's world, this monster is alive and well.In a world without Qingming, pears are used as nourishment to nourish the wooden sign.
