In the afternoon, Abe Seimei and Yuan Boya came back.

The bullock cart they were riding in had a face-to-face meeting with Minamoto Raimitsu who was about to leave at the gate of Abe’s residence. Seeing that it was getting late, and Minamoto Boya seemed to be preoccupied and obviously had something to do, the few people simply greeted a few words and politely farewell.

However, Minamoto Yorimitsu and the others left, but Kamo Baoxian stayed in Abe House.Then he waited for Yuan Boya, who was frowning and full of irritation, and Abe Seimei, who was smiling calmly.

And a sacrificial letter representing the imminent death of Lord Taishan, with Abe Seimei's name written underneath.

Abe house, tea room.

With a dark face, He Mao Baoxian picked up the piece of paper with two fingers.

"what is this?"

"This is a report for Lord Taishan, don't you know senior brother?"

At that time, the Great Onmyoji was picking up the tea that Ling Nu had just brewed, and he was seriously surprised when he heard the words.

"I didn't ask you this!"

"Qingming, speak well!"

A duet of male voices sounded.The silver-haired little loli sat in the middle, looked at the smiling Qingming on the left, and looked at Baoxian and Boya with dark faces on the right.

Loli Zetian raised her chin with one hand, and deeply felt... now Qingming is like a brat who got into trouble and went home and was taught by his parents.

However, no matter how dark the faces of Ka Moo Baoxian and Yuan Boya are, Abe Seimei's name has been recorded in the small book by Mr. Taishan Fujun, and tonight, Taishan Fujun is coming.

"So, in order to avoid accidents, make some preparations in advance." Seimei Abe said.

Then he assigned Yuan Boya a task to drive out the worried and irritable young man.

The door of Abe's house opened and closed, Minamoto went out to find what Seimei wanted him to prepare.He Mao Baoxian leaned against the pillar of the front yard with his arms folded, facing the evening sun, his face still gloomy.

"Brother, what are you worried about?" Abe Seimei stood beside him, casually playing with a bat fan in his hand, "Bo Ya doesn't understand, but you should be very clear, brother. For people like us, even Lord Taishan is nothing more than a force that can be deceived."

"That's not what I'm worried about." He Mao Baoxian looked straight at the weedy courtyard in front of him with a sullen face, without turning his head.

"Oh, what is that? Brother, why don't you tell me to explain it to me?"

"Tsk." Kamo Hoken gritted his back molars, and looked sideways, "Seimei, you went to Mijingji Temple to help that monk. It's not because you want to save people at all, it's just because Ashiya Doman provoked you."

The orange-red sunset came in from under the eaves of the corridor, gently shining on the faces of the people standing under the corridor.Abe Seimei slightly hooked his lips, and generally did not speak by default.

He Mao Baoxian stared at his junior brother's pretty face for a few seconds, turned his head with a soft "tsk", and looked at the half-round red sun that was about to completely sink into the horizon.His voice suddenly became low, and he spoke slowly with some warning surprise.

"Qingming, life and death are not a game."

Abe Seimei couldn't help laughing, "Brother, do you think I'm already this crazy? I naturally know that life and death are not something mere mortals can play with."

However, He Mao Baoxian replied with a cold face and said, "We are mortals, but you and Ashiya Road are not the same."

Hearing what his senior brother said, Abe Seimei chuckled and shook his head, "Brother, you are wrong, at least for now we are all mortals."

He paused, then continued to ask calmly, "Brother, what are you afraid of?"

"Am I afraid of something?" He Mao Baoxian suddenly turned his head to look directly at him, his tone suddenly so calm that it was as cold as a knife cutting through a stone barrier, "It's Qingming, what are you afraid of?"

However, unexpectedly, Abe Seimei, who was pointed out, admitted it with a very calm attitude, "Well, brother is right."

For some reason, hearing him say that He Mao protected the constitution, his attitude softened.He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Sunny."

"Ok?"

"You and Ashiya Domitsu are different after all."

"What's the difference?" Abe Seimei asked with a smile on his lips, turning his head slightly.

"You know this in your heart."

"It's because I don't know what I'm asking."

"Then you can think for yourself."

"Hey, is senior brother so irresponsible all of a sudden?"

"Hehe." He Mao Baoxian looked indifferently, and raised his chin in the direction of the corridor, "If you want to know, go ask your daughter."

"Senior brother, I said that Ji Jun is not my child." Abe Seimei turned his head with a smile while saying this.At the end of the corridor, a little loli in a light crimson dress was stepping on the setting sun, holding a paper figurine in her hand and bouncing up to the two of them, her long silver hair draped behind her flashed in the sunlight A few jumping streamers.

"Qingming, it's ready."

"Well, thank you Ji Jun."

A gentle smile spread on the lips of the Great Onmyoji, with a warmth similar to the spring in the courtyard.Sawada Ya raised his head and rubbed it under the hands of the Great Onmyoji, and then saw Kamo Baoxian's gaze.

She blinked her eyes, feeling that she didn't understand the emotion, she tilted her head in doubt, "Baoxian?"

"It's okay." He Mao Baoxian turned his head with his hands in his sleeves, and calmly changed the subject, "Qingming, everything is ready."

"It's ready, the only thing missing is what Toboya brought over."

So that night came.

A lamp hangs under the eaves of the corridor, and the light cast illuminates a small area under the eaves.

The moon in the night sky was hidden in the clouds, with only a faint blue light shining through, like a dark green ink surrounded by night air.

The four people of Abe's mansion sat under the eaves of the front yard, waiting for the arrival of Lord Taishan. Abe Seimei, Yuan Hiroya and Kamo Baoxian were still drinking.

"If only there was a moon." Seimei Abe said with a smile.

Sitting opposite him, Yuan Boya, who was holding a wine glass in his right hand but hadn't drank for a long time, had a serious expression on his face. At this time, he couldn't help but bring out some inner irritability, "Qingming, are you still in the mood to watch the moon?"

The Great Onmyoji took a sip of the sake in his glass, and his smiling eyes were reflected on the surface of the wine illuminated by the fire in the corridor, with a hint of inscrutability.

"Bo Ya, the mood of admiring the moon is always there."

He Mao Baoxian sat beside the two of them, drinking wine lazily.Ever since Abe Seimei came back with that sacrificial oration, his expression has been ugly.

So the atmosphere continued to fall silent.Sawada Ya rested her chin in one hand, looked left and right, and then raised her hand slowly.

"Sunny."

"Huh? What's the matter, Jun Ji?"

"Yes." Little Lolita nodded earnestly, then held up the little paper figurine and shook it in front of her, asking suspiciously, "Why am I holding this?"

Having received a task assigned by Seimei before, Sawada Ya cut out a paper figurine using the method that the Great Onmyoji taught her before.Generally speaking, in Onmyoji, such paper figurines are either used as shikigami or as a substitute medium to deceive certain existences.

I thought that the reason Qingming asked him to cut the paper was to hide the truth from the Lord Taishan who came to search for his soul... There is nothing wrong with this, although little Lori has a lot of confidence in Qingming, but she didn't think he would directly fight with that The god in charge of life and death confronted him head-on.However, with such conjectures in mind, Sawada Ya waited until Minamoto returned with the long hair of an unknown woman.Abe Seimei twirled those strands of hair around the paper figurine for a few times, with long eyelashes drooping slightly and holding the paper figurine between his fingers, he chanted a few incantations, and then, the substitute paper figurine was handed over to little Lolita .

Ze Tianya held up the little paper figurine with a dazed expression on his face.

It was agreed that Seimei was in danger, so why prepare a substitute for me?

"Well, Ji-jun, you take it first." Ze Tianya saw that Abe Seimei's gaze paused on the paper figure for a second, and the light under the eaves shone from the side, casting a ray on the face of the onmyoji. shadow.With the usual smile on his lips, he didn't explain much abnormally.

Yuan Boya, who was sitting on the side, stared at the paper figurine with a somewhat forbearing expression. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something, but his eyes wandered between Seimei and Sawada Ya for a few seconds, and he finally said nothing.

A gust of night wind blew over, and the lanterns under the eaves of the corridor were shaken with the firelight.

Sawada Ya turned the paper man over and looked at it repeatedly, but still didn't understand what Seimei was going to do.At this moment, she suddenly heard the clear and pleasant voice of the Great Onmyoji.

"You're here too."

Huh?

Little Loli raised her head to look at Qingming, and then followed his gaze towards the courtyard.The lush spring grass in the yard swayed in the night, like a quiet painting painted with deep and light ink, and in the middle of the tall grass at half a person's height, a black figure appeared.

"I'm here." The man took a few steps forward, and the lights under the eaves illuminated his hair that was branching like a bird's nest and the tattered robe that was casually draped over his body.

"I came to see the excitement." He said with a smile.

"welcome."

"Tsk, Ashiya Michiman."

Looking at the comer with a novel look, Sawada Ya was still curious and heard two voices with completely different tones.The previous sentence was said by Qingming, with a slight smile in his calmness, as if he had expected it long ago.The last sentence came from He Mao Baoxian, who was on her right, with a very low voice, probably only the little girl sitting next to him heard it.

Sawada Ya looked back at Homo Kamo, who was holding a wine glass with a displeased expression on his face, and then at the person who walked over unceremoniously and sat down on the side of the veranda.His bare feet were still stained with dirt from the yard, leaving a dirty footprint on the neat wooden floor.

Seemingly aware of her gaze, the strange old mage looked back at her, "Huh?"

"Master Doman." Before Ashiya Doman could say anything, Abe Seimei suddenly said, "The moonlight is not bad tonight."

Hearing these words, Sawada Ya and Yuan Hiroya looked at the sky reflexively.The moon is covered by clouds, so there is no ghost moonlight.

However, Ashiya Michimi seemed to have heard something, "hehe" smiled a few times, took a few sips of wine from the wine glass brought by Shikigami, "I'm not interested in Seimei."

"That would be the best." Abe Seimei held a gentle smile on his lips.
