[Onmyoji] Deep Sea Girl

"Why, is there something wrong?" Seeing her in a daze, Huang couldn't help asking.

Qiong Lang came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, Qingming's intention to help us is good intentions, but what is the other Qingming's idea?"

When she and Otengu went to Green Ying Village this morning, Qingming had come to look for her, and Huang met Qingming for him.He knew that the battle with the soil spider was imminent, and he proposed to go to help on the day of the eradication, and bring his shikigami demon sword girl to fight together.

However, Yao Dao Ji now has two "masters".

Huang understood what she meant, and replied in a warm voice: "Abe Seimei has no objection, and even he proposed to go together, just to repay you and Ootengu for helping each other last time."

"Well... how about it, the two of them stay in the sea area and let Yaodao Ji follow us." Qiong Lang frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head disapprovingly.

Human bodies are relatively fragile and cannot be compared with monsters. Qiong Lang was unwilling to let the two of them get involved in danger, but both Qingming insisted on their own ideas with stubborn faces.

"Why don't you let me go?" Qingming pursed her lips tightly and turned her head away, with a bit of annoyance in her eyes, as if she was dissatisfied with Qionglang's dismissal of his proposal, "I am still a member of Rakshahai, Raksha The business of the sea is my business!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced sideways at Qiong Lang, then slowed down and said awkwardly: "I must follow. Anyway, even if I can't help you much, I will never hold you back. I still have some real skills." .”

Qiong Lang rubbed his forehead, feeling a little helpless at his inexplicable petty temper.

"Lord Qiong Lang agreed to this matter. Although Yaodao Ji is very powerful in combat, she is a monster with a strange temper. When using her, I, as the master, must be by my side." Abe Seimei was not in a hurry. Slowly, he explained patiently and gently, "Besides, I have always owed you a favor. If you don't let me do something, I can't feel at ease."

After the words were finished, he subconsciously exchanged glances with Qingming, saw each other's gloomy eyes, and turned their heads away.

Qiong Lang saw that the two of them still persisted and refused to waver, so he also went with them, "In this case, I will accept your kindness. It's getting late, let's go eat."

About a quarter of an hour had passed since the system notification sounded just now. Seeing that it was almost time, Qiong Lang asked Mussel to bring the children to dinner.

The setting sun outside the window sprinkled on the golden sea, and the monsters who had finished their day's work began to return home one after another. The cafeteria was filled with their own strange monsters, and the night lights in the market were also lit one by one. lit up.

The clam spirit had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, and the brothers and sisters Yuyi and Aihua and a group of children stepped into the house chirping, and Tamamozae followed behind them as expected.

There are two large garden tables in the house, and on one of the tables are many delicate and delicious snacks, and the dishes are also light and sweet.This is the dinner for those children, Qiong Lang always treats them with care, and pays more attention to their food, paying special attention to their nutritional balance.

Tiaomei held Aihua's hand and sat down on the table in the big garden on the left. Obviously, the two girls have established a deep revolutionary friendship through the way of raising dogs.

A group of little radish heads sat together, filling up the seats, while the other table was empty in front of the steaming food. Monsters such as Huaniaojuan and Shuweng probably hadn’t left work yet, or they might be leaving get off work on the way.

While fetching clean handkerchiefs and spoons for them, Clam Essence said softly, "If you're hungry, start first. They won't arrive in a while, so don't wait."

Seeing that Jinyu Ji and the others had started to eat with their cheeks puffed out, the siblings were obviously used to this situation, so they also relaxed and no longer restrained.

Qiong Lang didn't invite Yuzao to sit down for dinner, she knew that the other party must be very worried about Nadeshiko at the moment, so she and Datengu led him to the room where Nadeko was sleeping.

In the dark but warm and ventilated room, Nadeko was sleeping peacefully, listening to her even breathing, seeing her peaceful sleeping face, Tamazamae's expression also eased.

"The furniture in the courtyard has been moving today. I was afraid that the children would disturb her, so I put Nadeko here."

In fact, no matter how loud the movement is, it cannot wake up the sleeping Nadeshiko, but Yu Zaoqian still can't help but feel comforted by Qiong Lang's thoughtfulness.He stared at Qiong Lang and Datiangu for a moment, then stepped back slightly, and thanked them deeply.

"Thank you both for saving my wife and kids, I'm truly blessed to have known you..."

The exorcist came suddenly, only one step away, and he might be separated from Nadeko and the others. Thinking of this result, he still broke out in cold sweat of fear.

Qiong Lang followed the big tengu to return him a salute, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Senior, you don't have to be polite, but... what is going on with Nadeshiko?"

She asked Aihua and Yuyi why they couldn't wake up Nadeko, but the other party only said that it was the punishment of the gods, which made him unable to wake up from time to time.

Tamazamo gave Nadeko a sad look, and now, he is not going to hide the matter between himself and Nadeko from these two children.Lowering his eyes, he sat beside Nadeko and gently held her hand, slowly telling all the stories about the two of them.

He has always claimed that his wife is suffering from a strange disease of sleeping, but in fact only he knows that this is God's punishment for blaspheming him.He should have received the punishment from heaven, and he should have died, but Nadeko risked his life to save him, and endured the anger that should have been suffered by him.

Did their life-saving mutual protection move the gods?

Maybe it is... Otherwise, how could both of them get back a life, but maybe they annoyed each other more deeply.

Yuzao still remembers the stern and ruthless voice that accompanied the heavenly punishment: Stupid, monsters are all selfish and indifferent creatures. You actually want to stay with him for the rest of your life. Do you really think monsters have as much love as humans?From now on, you don't have to serve me anymore.

For the miko who served him, that god should be disappointed and angry.Although he didn't kill them all, he executed Nadeshiko in another, more cruel and ruthless way.

She will fall into a deep sleep for most of the day, and the time of waking up will be shorter and shorter. Humans have a short lifespan, but youkai do not.The god probably thought that he would abandon Nadeko because of his loneliness, so that he could punish Nadeko and make her regret what she had done.

However, he will prove with actions that even if Nadeko never wakes up again, as long as her breathing is still alive, he will never abandon her.

Even if the yin and yang worlds are separated one day in the future, Nadeko will live in his heart forever, until even the flame of his own life is extinguished.

"She has been sleeping for longer and longer. As you can see, she has been asleep for almost two days this time. I am very worried that one day soon, she will never wake up again."

Thirteen years have passed since the birth of Hagoromo and Aika, and at the age of 13, Nadeko should still be a young, healthy and beautiful woman.But because of sleeping sickness, her body has become thinner and weaker over the years. It was Yuzao who used her demon power to keep her body from being disturbed by the pain.

"Even senior can't make her wake up?" Qiong Lang frowned slightly and asked in puzzlement.

The big tengu heard the words and whispered in her ear: "It's nice to say that you are merciful, but in fact, as a priestess serving the god, this kind of behavior is tantamount to betrayal. How can the god let her go so easily after being so humiliated? "

"She has the curse of the gods on her body, and that curse will eat away her spiritual power and vitality little by little."

"That's right." Tamazamo looked at his wife with a complicated expression, "The curse is different from black magic and divine magic, this kind of thing cannot be lifted by any black magic."

In the same way, the gods cannot easily break the curse of the youkai unless there are other more powerful gods willing to help Nadeshiko.

But since ancient times, most of the gods have been opposed to monsters, and the better ones are nothing more than water in the well. They are too busy protecting the believers who enshrine themselves. How can they have the heart to help an unfamiliar monster, and they may be burdened with other monsters? The risk of a feud with the gods.

"How do you know so clearly?" Qiong Lang poked him with his elbow and asked in a low voice.

The big tengu raised his eyebrows, and whispered back: "Actually, our tengu clan was also a mountain god a long time ago, but later we lost our faith and turned into monsters."

However, neither he nor his parents felt that there was any difference between being a monster and a god. On the contrary, being a monster was more comfortable.

Seeing Yu Zaoqian's frowning look, Datengu touched his chin, his eyes suddenly turned around Qiong Lang's bulging chest, and the latter glared at him immediately.

"That's right!" Datengu suddenly raised his voice, startling Yu Zaoqian.

He pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Although it is difficult to break the curse, it is not impossible. Without the help of gods, you can use other artifacts."

"Of course...we don't have such things as artifacts, but we do have the seeds of the god tree." He smiled slightly and said slowly, "the name of the god tree is like itself, it is the divine fruit planted by the ancient gods. The effect is that it can bring the dead back to life, and prolong the life of the old man whose oil lamp has dried up."

This kind of fruit was also something his parents had mentioned. If the Tengu clan had not been mountain gods, he might not have been able to find this rare thing according to the records in the old books.

"The curse in her is to erode vitality, and the seeds of the god tree are likely to help her break the curse."

Qiong Lang was stunned, and immediately took out the Godly Tree seed that he had almost forgotten from the lapel of his chest, his eyes lit up, "Not to mention, I almost forgot, today we went to find senior to give you the Godly Tree seed."

"Since this thing really works, what's the use of it?"

Yuzao looked at the kit in her hand, pursed her lips and did not agree immediately, but tentatively asked softly: "...Are you really willing to just give the seeds to me and Nadeshiko? I agree I need to help you find the soil spider lair..."

"Of course!" Qiong Lang said seriously, "Senior, you don't need to worry so much. Whether you can find the soil spider's nest or not, we will give you this seed. As for finding the nest, let us do it together." .”

When she heard the story of Tamamomae and Nadeshiko, she had long been heartbroken, especially with Ootengu by her side, as long as she put herself in the situation from a different angle, she felt uncomfortable. She had never seen a plot where lovers could not get married.

It’s not that the soil spider’s nest can’t be found anymore, and the old wound in front of Tamazama can be healed when another tree bears new fruit after 80 years, but Nadeshiko can’t afford to wait.

She is a human being with a short lifespan. It would be great if the seeds of the god tree could break the spell on her body.

Ootengu also nodded in agreement, without any dissatisfaction. The soil spider's grievances were born because of him. Even if Yuzao didn't mention the cooperation before, he would take action himself.

Looking at the two of them, Yu Zaoqian's expression moved slightly, and finally nodded slowly, looking at them with tender eyes, "Thank you, you guys helped me again."

He will never forget it.

"There is also the nest of the soil spider. I have found it this morning, so you don't have to worry."

Qiong Lang's eyes are bright, so what is there to worry about?

Regardless of going to dinner, she immediately sent someone to send the seeds of the god tree to the drug store, and let the monsters inside grind it into powder, and then added water to turn it into a small bowl of green thick soup.

The color of the decoction is green and crystal-clear, and one can smell an unusual fragrance after taking it in one's hand, which is very refreshing and refreshing.

Yuzao held the bowl of precious soup medicine in front of her, and fed it into Nadeshiko's mouth with gentle movements.

As the decoction decreased, Nadeshiko's body began to change visible to the naked eye.

Her hair, which was slightly withered and yellow due to malnutrition, began to become black and soft, and her sickly pale skin gradually became healthy and rosy. When the bowl of soup and medicine was drained, her appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes.

It is no longer the lifeless living dead, but like a young girl immersed in a sweet dream.

There was an unconcealable gleam of joy in Tamamo-mae's eyes, and she stayed by Nadeko's side with an excited and expectant heart all night.

He stayed up all night, sitting next to Nadeko as if petrified, staring at her face motionlessly, for fear of missing the slight twinkle of her eyelashes.

Finally, on the second day, when the warm sunlight shone through the paper window on the woman's fair and tender cheeks, she slowly opened her eyes with a slight frown as if her dream had been disturbed.

"Ananda?" Nadeko called out softly, noticing that the surrounding arrangement was not the same as at home, she couldn't help asking, "What happened? Where are we? Where are the children?"

Nadeko sat up, couldn't help stretching herself, she looked like a budding peach blossom, full of spring and vitality in her beauty, Tamazao stared blankly at her with a dazed expression.

"Speaking of how long did I sleep this time? It's strange... This time I slept for so long and my body didn't feel sore at all. It's rare to be very energetic!"

After finishing the words, she fell into a tight embrace, and Nadeko was startled, "Ananda...?"

"You've finally recovered... Nadeko, from now on, you will never fall asleep helplessly again..."

"..."

The man's voice was hoarse and choked, feeling that the clothes on his shoulders seemed to be wet by something hot, Nadeko paused slightly, and slowly reached out and hugged her husband tightly.

Outside the window, the sunshine in early spring was just right, and the warmth dispelled the cold.

*****

Qiong Lang was having breakfast for a day's work, and when she saw the clam spirit appearing at the door with Yuyi brothers and sisters, she stuffed the snack into her mouth and said in surprise: "Hey? Why did you wake up so early, don't sleep for a while ?"

Yuyi shook his head, pointed to the sky outside the window, "It's already late, the sun is going to dry his butt."

"My lord, these two children have been awake for a long time. I saw that it was almost time for you to have breakfast, so I brought them here."

Qiong Lang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, didn't he wake up as early as they did?

"Children need to sleep more to grow taller. They don't need to wake up so early. You see, Jinyu Ji and the others are all sleeping late."

"Thank you, Master Qionglang, but it's okay, we're used to it." Aihua shook her head with a smile, "I woke up this morning with no clothes to wash, and no need to make breakfast. I'm really not used to it... "

Living with human villagers, it is natural to integrate into them. The two children are used to getting up early to work and sharing housework for their father.Today they got up at that time as usual, and had nothing to do except feed the chickens and ducks in the yard, and sat dryly in the house for a long time.

Her words could not help but remind Qiong Lang of himself who was the daughter of a human fisherman many years ago, who also got up early and worked hard every day at night, and felt very sorry for the two children in his heart.

"Since you're up, let's have breakfast first." Qiong Lang smiled with his eyes narrowed, and asked Mussel Essence to deliver two breakfasts.She looked at the cup of hot goat's milk in front of the vacant seat next to her, and then added an order to ask the clam essence to bring an extra cup.

"Come on, you two drink this stuff."

"What is this?" Aihua and Yuyi were a little curious, but they didn't reject Qiong Lang's words, they all drank it obediently.

"tasty?"

"Mmm... sweet, very fragrant."

Qiong Lang smiled even happier, and couldn't help touching Aihua's fox ears, "This is goat's milk, children can grow taller if they drink more of it."

"Goat... goat's milk!?" The two children froze, a blush quickly flashed across their faces, the same reaction as Huang when he was young.

Qiong Lang covered his face with a smile, coughed a few times and said, "That's right, but I didn't lie to you, from now on, drink a cup in the morning and evening, you can grow taller and become more beautiful, Jinyu Ji and the others like to drink it."

This is something she has improved. It is no longer as bad as it used to be, and the monsters in the kindergarten will drink a cup every day.

Hearing that Jinyu Ji and the others would drink it, Yuyi felt that goat milk was not so difficult to accept, not to mention the taste was indeed delicious.It's just that his eyes fell on the empty seat where a cup of goat's milk was just placed, and he was a little curious, wondering who the breakfast belonged to.

If he remembers correctly, he will have dinner with Qiong Lang, they are all adults...

"From now on, there will be a cup prepared for the two of you in the cafeteria every morning." Qiong Lang narrowed his eyes and said.

"Every day?" Yuyi was slightly taken aback, and fell silent.

"Yes, are you unwilling to stay in Luochahai?"

Aihua put down the porridge spoon in her hand, looked at her with moist fox eyes, and asked softly, "Lord Qionglang...would you like to keep us here?"

"Do you want to? I want to keep you here. After all, there are demon masters in the village, or do you prefer the human world?"

Yuyi shook his head slowly, and smiled wryly, "Of course Aihua and I like this place very much, over there in the village... Everyone already knows our identities, and I'm afraid they will never accept us again, and those exorcists You won't leave easily."

"Exorcist?" Zhu Zhu, who was helping to arrange the dinner plates in the room, couldn't help shaking slightly when she heard this word, "Didn't your lord get rid of them?"

"Lord Qiong Lang didn't hurt them."

"But I heard Ootengu-sama say that demon exorcisers are very vicious, and you want to kill Aihua and them all. Why did you let them go?" Pearl was a little puzzled. I don't have any good feelings by nature.

"Whether it's a human or a monster, there are good and bad..." Qiong Lang sighed, and said to her in a gentle voice, "Although the position of the demon master is opposite to ours, we must not forget that there is also the village chief. Such humans exist."

"It's true that the exorcising masters are ruthless, but if Datiangu and I kill them on the spot, after the people in Qianye County blame them, how can the old village head get better?"

As the head of a village, the old man defended the monsters in front of so many people. If the demon master couldn't catch them, it was because the demon master was incapable.But if Yin Yangtou is dead, the people sent by Chiba County don't know how to vent their anger on the village chief.

Yuyi nodded heavily. At that time, the old village chief tried desperately to keep their lives as much as possible even though he knew they were monsters. He was very moved.As a child of humans and monsters, even if he is not accepted by humans, he still has natural kindness towards them.

After all, the mother who gave birth to him and his younger sister was a human being.

Pearl nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly felt that human beings are actually not that scary anymore.

Aihua looked at Qiong Lang with bright eyes, her face flushed slightly, she liked monsters like Qiong Lang from the bottom of her heart.As a youkai, she has kindness towards humans, just like her mother Nadeshiko, as a shrine maiden, has compassion for youkai.

She and Yuyi are half-demons, and they are very sensitive to all kinds of differences between humans and monsters. Even if they are sad to be hated by humans, they are also afraid of being rejected by monsters.

It is precisely monsters like Qionglang and Datengu who can make them feel close to each other the most.

At the door, Yuzao stood there with a beautiful woman who had already changed into clean clothes. Hearing their conversation, they looked at each other and smiled slightly.

"Am I right? This is a very good child, you will like her." Yu Zaoqian whispered, feeling in his heart that he saw the right person after all.

The author has something to say:

Gouzi: I found that Luochahai is really a kindergarten... there are radish heads everywhere, and there are more and more of them.

Qiong Lang: emm, don't you like children?

Gouzi: I like it... You can give me two soon.
