Human dimension reduction

For any narrator, Zhang Zi is the best type of listener in the world, she can always give the most appropriate response at the most appropriate time, and all her joys and worries are very real, even Ashiya A person with such a weird personality almost indulged in her quiet and gentle gaze.

Their conversation was interrupted by the maid's announcement. There was news from the Qingliang Palace of the Emperor that Fumatsu Kujo was going to enter the palace today. The Emperor asked Prince Zhang Zinai to rest in the bedroom to avoid being bumped by warriors who did not know how to behave.

Such words full of personal emotions can clearly explain the emperor's dissatisfaction with the Edo shogunate, but the emperor who has lost power can only vent his inner anger with such weak words.

In the end, he also asked the Tibetans to send a message, asking Ashiya Doman to go to Qingliangdian to serve.

Warlock's expression didn't change when he heard these words. He seemed to have expected such an incident. Instead of following the Tibetans to leave immediately, he turned his head to look at Zhang Zi for a while, and took out a bunch of small things from his wide sleeves. Point to Zhang Zi one by one.

"This is the orb of Kaifangzhu. There are sounds of waves and whales in it. If you feel bored, you can listen to it. This is a flower branch left by the peach blossom demon after the death. After being placed in the soil, a tree can bloom instantly. Peach Blossom, you can’t go out, it’s better to enjoy the flowers indoors; and this double-headed shellfish..."

Zhang Zi patiently listened to his introduction of these weird things, and couldn't help but move his eyes from the pile of treasures to Daoman's face, and couldn't help laughing softly.

As he spoke, Ashiya Michiman also felt that his behavior was a little weird, and his expression was a little stiff. He fell silent while pinching the double-headed clam torn out of the ghost clam's body, and began to wonder if he was fascinated by some monster.

"Daoman is really gentle, he is the type who can take care of people." Zhang Zi thoughtfully looked away, held the round pearl the size of a baby's fist in his palm and observed it, his thin face with a sharp chin Under the moist luster of the belt, it is covered with a layer of shimmering water waves.

Ashiya Michimitsu frowned quickly, even though he himself didn't know what was wrong with this sentence, he hastily put down the double-headed shell in his hand, and checked whether there was any resentment attached to it without any fuss—the monster who died tragically always More or less grievances will be left on the relics. To the onmyoji, this grievance is nothing, but to the weak ordinary people, it is very fatal.

But Ashiya Michimitsu has always been ruthless in his actions, not to mention resentment, useless monsters will often die in his hands quite piecemeal, even these things are pieced together, there is no resentment left at all.

The orb of Umibozu can be used as a magic weapon to avoid water when people enter the sea, and the flower branch of the peach blossom demon is a rare miasma-repelling medicine. Ashiya Michimitsu did not think of his hard work when he hunted down Umibozu and the peach blossom demon. The treasures collected will become toys to pass the boring time.

But... He comforted himself that he could get more rewards from Zhang Zi, and this amount of effort should be regarded as the initial investment.

The Tibetan took Ashiya Doman away from the residence of the inner prince. The big fox, who dared not move because of the terrible oppression of the master, finally raised his head, let out a soft whimper, and began to ask Zhang Zi to comb his fur.

Humans, who have always been very tolerant towards animals, asked the maid to bring a wooden comb and began to comb the big fox slowly. Her hands were weak and her breath was short. The floor hummed happily, the chest was like a huge resonator, and even Zhang Zi smiled because of its happiness.

But she didn't plan to leave such an important event as the general's entry into the palace and brush the fox's hair here for a whole day.

Zhang Zi's account cannot be easily moved, so it's the turn of the embalmer who has been doing nothing for a long time.

The slender Uchiko casually threw Kaibozu's orb on the ground, moved it with his fingers, watched it roll around, and after looking at it for a while, he raised his hand and threw the peach blossom branch into the ornamental bonsai beside it .

The peach blossom branches took root and sprouted in an instant, the branches were twirled, and the branches were luxuriant. They scrambled to bloom a tree full of flowers in the bonsai, covering an area as large as half the bedroom. It was really an amazing beauty.

She looked at the peach blossom with admiring eyes, and after half an hour, she pretended to let out a scream, and said to the startled maids in panic: "Onmyoji! Go to Yinyang Liao to invite a Yinyang!" Master! Here they come again!"

The maids were in a mess, and the most courageous maid knelt on the ground and asked fearfully, "Master Daoman just went to Qingliang Palace..."

"No! Don't go to Daoman..." Prince Nei, with a pale face curled up into a ball, coughed and pressed his chest in pain, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty summoned him...to meet the general...it is a very good opportunity for him... Don't go find him for me... Onmyoji, the onmyoji on duty, just find anyone..."

"How can I just find one..." The maid was about to cry anxiously, "Yinyangliao, Yinyangliao... Master Qingming! Is Master Qingming here!"

The name of the best onmyoji in Kyoto instinctively rushed into her mind: "Go to Master Seimei!"

The huge fox couldn't understand what was going on, so it wrapped Zhang Zi with its tail, bared its fangs fiercely at everyone who approached her, and the long snow-white hair on its neck stood up.

The maids all knew this fox brought by Master Daoman. It was like the patron saint of His Highness Zhang Zi, who followed His Highness day and night, and His Highness loved it so much that they didn't dare to go forward to force His Highness out. What's more, His Highness's body can't stand the violent movements.

"Is Master Qingming here? Where is the medicine?" The maids were in a hurry, and hurried footsteps came from the corridor. One of the maids suddenly heard the sound, and rushed to the side to pull down the bamboo curtain to cover His Highness, but that But the footsteps came to the front of the Japanese room faster.

After seeing the chaos, Abe Seimei, who was eagerly urged by the maids, was also stunned for a moment. The first thing that caught the eyes of Onmyoji was the beautiful big white fox, and then the young woman in the arms of the white fox.

Zhang Zi is that kind of very classic and gentle beauty, every frown and smile has its own elegant charm, and it also reveals the kind of innocence and purity that is well protected by offerings. At this moment, being surrounded by a white fox in his arms is like a shrine in distress The maiden and the fierce fox demon are dependent on each other, full of strange atmosphere that can only be found in ghost stories.

Abe Seimei's footsteps slowed down for a moment, and the shadow of another snow-white fox with a vague figure flashed across his mind.

Abe Seimei is still known as the "son of the white fox" among the ghosts in Kyoto. Many humans also know about this. It is said that his mother is Tenfox Kuzuha, and he has been friends with Takaryu God of Guishen Shrine for many years, so Abe Seimei also received the blessing of the gods on the Yin-Yang Road, so his journey has been smooth so far.

"Lord Qingming!" The maid immediately showed a relieved expression when she saw him, "His Highness Zhang Zi woke up after taking a nap and said that he had met a ghost again. Lord Daoman went to Qingliang Hall to meet His Majesty the Emperor, so I can only invite you to come and see him." one look……"

After the maid finished talking nonsense, she realized that the words were inappropriate, and she clenched her hands awkwardly. Fortunately, Abe Seimei is not someone who would mind such trivial matters, so he just repeated the name: "Daoman...?"

"Exactly, Mr. Ashiya Michiman from Harima Kingdom, he has been protecting His Highness Zhang Zi these days, how could he know that as soon as he left-"

Abe Seimei narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say anything after all, and began to quickly draw a spell to clean up the filth in the hall.

In fact, under the protection of Ashiya Michiman, the palace where Zhang Zi lives is definitely the cleanest place in the entire palace. Even Seimei Abe can't find any omissions. The more I am surprised by the enchantment here—according to this arrangement, it is impossible for Zhang Zi to meet ghosts again. Why did the maid say that the strangeness entered as soon as Ashiya Michiman left?

A maid walked in with the medicine, and the big fox that surrounded Zhangzi moved its nose, as if realizing that it was something good for people, and let the maid deliver the medicine to Zhangzi's mouth, and half a bowl of medicine entered. Afterwards, Zhang Zi's complexion obviously improved a lot.

"I'm very sorry for letting Master Qingming run away," Zhang Zi lowered his eyes and apologized softly, "I...is too easily startled."

The Great Onmyoji looked away from the bowl of medicine, and the faint smile on his face became a little more obvious: "No, this is my duty, Your Highness does not need to feel guilty, on the contrary, it is I who should feel guilty. That's right, I'm not very knowledgeable, and I haven't seen any traces of ghosts here. Lord Daoman has protected you very well. According to what I have learned, no matter how powerful a foreign object is, it is impossible to break through the barrier without a sound. to you."

His words were full of hints, admittedly only vague guesses, so instead of making things clearer, he stopped short.

Hearing this, Zhang Zi was silent for a while, not sure if he could hear the cryptic hint, but Abe Seimei didn't see anything from her expression.

"Master Daoman is very kind to me, he has been doing his best to protect me," Zhang Zi said lightly and solemnly, and then changed the subject, "By the way, there is one thing that I have always wanted to entrust to Master Qingming."

"Oh?" Great Onmyoji pressed his hands on his knees, still smiling slightly, "I would like to hear more about it."

"Some time ago, when I was very sick and my mind was dizzy, His Majesty invited a very good warlock to treat me, and I was able to survive because of this, but I never heard from him again. It would be impolite to thank you in person, but I heard that Seimei-sama is good friends with him, so I hope Seimei-sama can convey my gratitude to that lord for me."

Abe Seimei suddenly raised his eyes when he heard half of it.

"Is that person surnamed Lan? Or Shan Yuan?"

Zhang Zi hesitated for a moment: "Well... I don't know, I just glanced at him in a daze. He looks very handsome, and his clothes are foreign-shaped, with many red flowers on the hem. I wanted to thank him in person. , but His Majesty said that he has already left, so I have to ask Lord Seimei..."

Onmyoji's lips pursed into a straight line, and he repeated in a strange way: "Have you left?"

When he was on duty in Yinyangliao, he could still hear some attendants mention that His Majesty the Emperor liked a tourist from a foreign country very much recently, and often invited him to talk about the customs of various places. He was described as Lan Jun, how did he get into the inner palace, Is there no such person?

Thinking about it this way, it seems that those colleagues only mentioned Lan Jun verbally, and no one actually met him face to face.

So where is that powerful warlock from a foreign land now?And why did he inexplicably become His Highness Zhang Zi's savior?

Abe Seimei originally didn't want to investigate more because Lan Yin lived in the palace, but now it seems that there are many strange things in it.

Maybe... He wants to find a way to go to the legendary palace where foreign tourists live?

The Great Onmyoji was thinking about this, and the Prince Uchi who was opposite him looked at him silently and smiled all the time. When he came back to his senses and accepted the matter with a smile, he signaled the maid to bring a box to Abe Seimei: "There is only I don't know what that adult likes about some insignificant little gifts, but I hope he won't dislike them."

Abe Seimei accepted the box, noticed the exhaustion on her face, and resigned tactfully, and Zhang Zi, who caused a mess, also curled up on the fox's belly accompanied by the maids, closed his eyes and took a nap.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the end of the Hajj, Ashiyadao, who heard that Prince Nei had been attacked by a ghost, had summoned the Onmyoji, hurried back with a gloomy face. After being surprised, he was slightly relieved, and was immediately irritated by another news that was behind him.

Abe Seimei... She summoned Abe Seimei...

Obviously he was the onmyoji who the Emperor personally ordered to hand over to her, yet she went far and wide to find Abe Seimei? !

So the means he used were too gentle?

With many frightening and terrifying thoughts in his mind, the furious evil magician took two deep breaths at the door. He still had that gentle and honest smile on his face, but all the maids who saw him were silent and drooped. nod.

I don't know what's going on, but I feel that Master Daoman is so scary... His Highness is still asleep, do you want to wake her up?

Thinking wildly like this, they saw Ashiya Road walk in with a gloomy face, the big fox holding His Highness the Inner Prince shrank back uncomfortably, the Inner Prince who was hugged by it in the soft long fur was still sound asleep, Then, in the sight of the maids, the evil magician with a fierce aura sat down cross-legged, Leng Sen stared at her silently, motionless.

Ah, this is... Waiting for the prince to wake up?

He didn't have to wait for a long time. The weak prince just took a nap and opened his eyes in a daze. The sleepy face revealed a trusting smile the moment his figure came into view: " Daoman, are you back?"

The evil magician kept his mouth shut for two seconds, and finally answered her in a normal voice: "Well, you're back, did you sleep well?"
