Human dimension reduction

It is not an exaggeration to say that monsters are rampant in Abe's house. As an onmyoji, Abe Seimei's attitude towards ghosts is obviously different from most people. Lan Yin lived here for a few days, and saw everything from the gentle Zashiki boy to the brutal demon eater. over and over.

In the past few days, Abe Qing went out early and returned late every day. He seemed very relieved that his house was occupied by a group of monsters and ghosts.

A rumor quickly spread among the monsters. According to the little monsters who often go to Abe's house to catch Miss Butterfly's meal, there is an extra human in Mr. Seimei's house, and he is a good-looking human. According to human beings, That should be Seimei-sama's wife.

The little monsters who do not have basic gender awareness vowed to describe that human being as good-looking, wishing to point fingers and explain how special Seimei-sama is to each other, while tearfully lamenting that maybe they will not be able to go to Abe House in the future—I heard that the human wife We are all fragile and sensitive creatures. Monsters don't like this kind of human beings the most, and they always play tricks when they meet them. But if Master Seimei's wife is such a person...

Then they can only regrettably stay away from Abe House.

"Also, I heard that the human's spiritual power is very powerful! It's only slightly worse than Seimei-sama!"

The little monster made a "little" distance with its forked tail.

"Wow! That's really amazing, is it a human princess? Don't humans all want to marry a princess? The samurai's house I often go to, he always dreamed that he wanted to marry a princess from the Gongqing family! If it was Seimei My lord, I will definitely marry the most powerful princess!"

The little monsters cheered loudly, shouting in unison, "Princess! Princess! Master Qingming married the princess!"

The ghosts passing by heard it for a while, and happily shouted and ran up and down the street, spreading the news throughout the underground world of Kyoto.

Abe Seimei, who is on duty in Ouchi, looks haggard: ...

Sitting under the plum tree and looking at a half-bloomed plum blossom, Lan Yin thought:  …

When the two parties knew nothing about it, the progress of the rumors had reached the point where "Master Seimei invited everyone to a banquet celebrating his wife's pregnancy".

Lan Yin only felt that the monsters wandering around Abe's house in the past few days were very strange. They always used various reasons to get lost to him. You can see the gate, Lan Yin looked at the conspicuous gate on the left front, and then at the big-headed monster who calmly said the line "I'm lost", showing a little thought.

Could it be that the average IQ level of monsters is so low?

When Abe Qingming came home at night, he heard Butterfly talking about the endless incidents of monsters getting lost. He shook his head with a wry smile, and turned to the door of Lan Yin's room. The young man from an overseas country was still awake and was entertaining himself by leaning on the pillar Enjoy yourself.

When Qingming approached, she could still hear the melodious opera sung by the other party in a low voice. The words were in Chinese with pure tones. The nobles of the island country worshiped the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and of course they also used Chinese to recite Chinese poems. We all need to master the skill of Chinese. Abe Haru was born smart, so learning Chinese is not difficult. He could understand what Lan Yin was singing after listening for a while.

"get off work?"

Seeing him, Lan Yin asked lazily.

get off work……

Abe Seimei stroked his chin and thought for a while. This word is unheard of, but it is very vivid.

"The palace has not been very peaceful recently. The great general is about to enter the capital. His Majesty the Emperor is restless every day. Even the resentment formed by the impetuousness in the palace has become much stronger. There are frequent incidents of little ghosts scaring nobles and miscellaneous objects into spirits. Running at overload, neglecting Lord Lan, I hope you will forgive me."

Onmyoji nodded slightly apologetically, rubbed his palms together, and pulled out a beautifully shaped black pottery painted plate, on which was a large fish with bone spurs removed. Fluttering, it is the best raw fish.

"It was caught from the Kamo River." Abe Qingming blinked at Ranyin, with a hint of cunning.

Lan Yin raised her eyebrows, the fish caught in the Kamo River are fine, but... How can any swimming fish turn itself into a fish stick?

Two paper figurine shikigami ran over with two pairs of chopsticks in their arms, raised the chopsticks above their heads, waited for them to take them, and then happily turned around and ran away.

Seimei Abe sat down, put the pottery plate between the two of them, and happily picked up a piece of fish: "As expected of fresh fish from Kamogawa! Speaking of which, do monsters often disturb you these days? I'm really sorry, Their curiosity is very strong..."

Lan Yin thought about it for a while with a piece of fish sticks in between: "Ah...it doesn't matter."

Abe Seimei suddenly laughed: "Lan Jun is the kind of person who cherishes words like gold, similar to the gods in people's fantasy."

Lan Yin, who used high coldness to cover up her social fear attributes: ...

"...Really." He asked back without changing his expression.

Abe Seimei nodded: "Yes, there is a kind of divinity in Lan Jun, the feeling that even life and death are regarded as ordinary, only gods have this kind of feeling, right?"

Lan Yin looked at him: "But isn't Qingming the same? Life and death are very important to you?"

Abe Seimei laughed sullenly. He didn't know where the words hit him, and he rolled to the ground with a smile, and had to cover half of his face with a fan: "Oh... Lan Jun's words are really rude. , It’s the first time I’ve heard such an evaluation of me.”

He laughed enough, and removed the fan covering his face: "When it comes to life and death, there is indeed no special meaning. If you see too many monsters, you will have such thoughts. People who commit suicide because of various emotions are indeed ghosts." There are too many, and the dead people follow the living people for various obsessions, in short, there is no clear boundary between life and death."

For the peerless Great Onmyoji, there is really no clear boundary between life and death. Later literature records that Abe Seimei created Taishan Fujun Sacrifice, which can bring the dead back to the world for reincarnation and retain the memory of the previous life. I know whether this Abe Seimei complies with this setting.

Abe Seimei lazily turned his body sideways, put his hand on the side of his face, and held the fish cake in his other hand and put it in his mouth: "But speaking of the general... there is one thing I want to ask Lan Jun for help."

Lan Yin curled up her fingers and pushed the plate of fish meat with her knuckles towards Abe Seimei: "What?"

The Onmyoji was about to open his mouth to speak, when there was a shout from the door: "Qingming! Did you steal my fish!"

Immediately there was an earth-shattering bang, and a squat monster with a fish head and a human body wrapped in water-colored clothes rushed into the door aggressively, and saw the two people looking over from the corridor, and the fish eyes on the top of its head immediately released green light : "My fish!"

Abe Seimei quickly stuffed the remaining slices of yuba into his mouth, threw away his chopsticks, sat down as if nothing had happened, and smiled at the person who came... Yu waved: "Oh, it's Kamogawa, do you want to drink together?"

The owner of the Kamogawa River held two big fish with grass stalks through their mouths, jumped onto the corridor, looked down at the plate, and the mouths of the fish were wide open: "Ahhh! I said it must be you. of!"

Kamogawa River Lord is a monster who is very good at learning from humans. What he appreciates most is the art of human cooking, especially the invention of fish meat, which is praised by him as the only invention worth mentioning. He is enjoying dinner today. Halfway up the chopsticks, the carefully crafted fish disappeared together with the plate, leaving only the staring eyes of the owner of the Kamogawa River and the big-eyed and small-eyed crabs that served.

"Ahhhhh Seimei!" Kamogawa River Lord jumped up on the spot, no need to think, except for that big onmyoji with bad personality, no one would do such inexplicable things.

Seeing the familiar fish with a fan-shaped tail left in the beautiful pottery dish, the master of the Kamogawa River gasped heavily, and tears rolled out of his eyes: "My fish! Seimei bastard! "

The Great Onmyoji covered his mouth with a fan and smiled, while beckoning Butterfly to take the two fish from the Kamogawa River Master, he raised his hand in front of the Kamogawa River Master, picked up an empty wine glass that was placed aside, and swung it up and down. As if scooping something out of the void, the corridor suddenly overflowed with the aroma of wine, and the owner of the Kamogawa River stared straight at the glass: "This, this, this is... Shuten's wine?!"

Abe Seimei let it snatch the wine glass, sat down cherishingly and licked the wine in it, and explained to Lan Yin: "The wine gourd in Jiu Tun contains the fine wine called Tian Zhi Niang, which is inexhaustible. , Last time he lost a bet with me, he lost to me by ten buckets of wine."

As he spoke, he slightly turned his fan to block the owner of the Kamogawa River, and whispered, "This guy Kamogawa has been coveting wine for a long time."

Lan Yin tilted her head to see the interaction between the onmyoji and the monster, and suddenly asked, "Just now you said you wanted my help?"

Abe Seimei tapped his head with a fan: "Ah, that's right. That's right. The general is about to enter the capital, and Gion has received orders to meet the general. However, Gion has been very uneasy recently. It seems that there are ghosts haunting it. Yinyangliao entrusted me with this task, but most people in Gion know me, so I want to invite someone they don't know..."

Halfway through his speech, Lan Yin stared at him and said nothing: "Gion?"

Gion in Kyoto is the famous Hananagi Street. Compared with Yoshihara, Gion Hanamikoji is more elegant and stylish. The geisha inside are all talented, and they are specially set up to receive nobles with extraordinary backgrounds. However, when the shogunate was established, the imperial power fell, and the samurai class rose, there were more and more samurai in Hanami Xiaolu.

It's normal for the general to go to Hanami Koji when he enters Beijing, but Lan Yin's strange thing is... Abe Seimei doesn't look like someone who can mess with Hana Liu Street at all.

His eyes were very straightforward, and Abe Seimei shook his head helplessly: "There are often ghosts and ghosts there, I go there every ten days and a half months, of course I will get to know them, and... some girls who have fallen into Gion are very It's worth to admire."

As the onmyoji said this, a sly light flashed in his eyes. Of course, there is no shortage of shape-changing techniques in onmyoji, but he just wanted to bring Lan Yin with him.

The onmyoji who was rumored to be the son of a fox has an elegant and beautiful face, but in reality he has a bad stomach: "I can change my appearance, but they are too familiar with me, but if there is someone next to me to help me cover—"

Lan Yin was easily fooled: "How can I help you cover?"

Abe Seimei smiled: "There is an enchantment set up by Yinyangliao outside Gion, and an alarm will sound when ghosts enter, and now I need a woman to pretend to be a geisha."

Lan Yin frowned: "Why is it a woman? Isn't it okay for two men to visit Gion together?"

Abe Seimei sighed: "Of course it's not impossible, but two men go shopping in Gion together but can't enter the store... Think about that scene, don't you think it's strange?"

Lan Yin's eyebrows were flattened: "Mmm..."

He asked sincerely, "Maybe you can play a geisha too?"

The two looked at each other for a moment.
