[Comprehensive] Goddess of Bryan
Chapter 33 The Second Different World
In an instant, it was as if someone had pulled him out from the warm stove and thrown him into a frozen lake in winter. His whole body, from the soles of his feet to the strands of his hair, was frozen cold.
Qingming took a step first, standing in front of Bai Lan and Boya.
Over Seimei's sleeve, Bai Lan saw the red-haired monster standing up, the gourd still in his hand.He shook the gourd of wine as if having fun, and stared at this side with a half-smile: "Abe Seimei?"
"Shuten-douji." The onmyoji in front of him saluted back politely.
At this time, the monsters had already surrounded the three of them layer by layer, and the only place directly in front without a few layers of monsters was where Shuten-douji was standing.
From the corner of her eyes, Bai Lan caught a glimpse of Boya's hand on the handle of the tachi knife again.
She wasn't sure whether Taidao was useful to these monsters that existed in reality - unlike Wen Ji, who had no shadows before, the shadows of these monsters were all lined up on the ground - and at the same time, she wondered whether her flame would hurt them , If there is, how big will it be, and will it have an additional bonus effect like holy water has on vampires.
It's just obvious that neither Boya, Seimei, nor the monsters on the opposite side count Bai Lan as a combat force.
Bai Lan even heard a thin voice yelling: "That silver-haired human looks so delicious!" Looking over, it was the little monk with one eye behind his back.
Very good, let's experiment with you later.
Bai Lan smiled happily, but the one-eyed little monk suddenly felt a chill behind him, touched his bare head and looked around blankly, and found nothing wrong for a long time.
At this time, their leader had already confronted the Onmyouji in white in front of him.
The bright red demonic aura diffused from the mouth of the ghost gourd, and turned into wisps of gorgeous smoke flowing around Shuten-douji. The red demonic aura occupied the space like quicksand, and many monsters retreated one after another, fearing that they would die. Accidentally became a victim of the leader's indiscriminate attack.
On the contrary, the Onmyoji who faced the leader of Dajiangshan alone over there made the little monsters have to admire.
The strength of their leader is not in vain against more than a dozen onmyoji alone. The young onmyoji with a strange aura dared to provoke him alone. His courage was so courageous that even the monsters couldn't help feeling:
There are so many fools in the world.
Bai Lan also felt that there were many fools, but she was sure that Abe Seimei was definitely not one of them.She was also curious whether the top onmyoji in history was stronger, or the legendary ghost king.
Unfortunately, she probably won't see the answer tonight.
It's not that Qingming stopped fighting temporarily, or Jiu Tun suddenly asked for peace, one person and one demon fought, but they didn't make any real moves at all, they almost stopped after testing each other.
Why would Bai Lan know?
Obviously, one monster stood there without moving, relying on the gourd in the jet ball, and the other human was even more perfunctory, didn't even move the shikigami, just threw a few spells and it was done.
Bai Lan sighed, very disappointed.
However, just because she could tell that Qingming and Jiu Tunbu were serious about fighting, it didn't mean that other people had the IQ and vision to see it.
Except for a very few monsters who stood still, when Shuten's gourd started to spray red gas, most of the little monsters thought it was a signal to attack, and they didn't hesitate to go around Shuten-douji and Abe Seimei. He rushed towards Bai Lan and Boya.
Yuan Boya deserves to be a good man. Facing the surging monsters, his first reaction was to tell Bai Lan to back off, while he rushed up fearlessly with a knife in his hand, but his back looked a little bleak, as if he was determined to dedicate his life to go. Returning Expendables.
Yuan Boya was indeed ready to die.My friend Qingming is now fighting the red-haired evil spirit, obviously he can't rush over to rescue him and Miss Bailan immediately.Boya considered himself an upright man, so of course he would not shrink back and live behind a woman.
Even when facing the snake monster that jumped up, he still had time to sigh:
That's great, the time I bought should be enough for Qingming to come over, so that Miss Bailan doesn't have to die.It would be a pity for the world to lose such a beautiful girl.It's great that she can live and continue to be beautiful in this world.
With the idea of being ridiculed by others, Yuan Boya resolutely swung the sword in his hand at the snake demon, even though he knew in his heart that this sword could not cause fatal injuries to the opponent.
At this moment, a flame suddenly illuminated Yuan Boya's side face, and half of his cheeks were dyed bright red.
A yellow flame similar to that in the bullock cart compartment appeared out of thin air, and fell on the tip of the snake woman's tail like a falling flower.
Yuan Boya and the Snake Demon froze for a moment, then lowered their heads to look at the flame with ambition.
Then, as if spring came, all kinds of flowers bloomed, suddenly blooming everywhere in an endless field, and in a blink of an eye, orange sparks occupied the whole field of vision
——The flames soared, running up the tail of the snake, and instantly swept the whole body of the snake girl.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
The shrill screams resounded throughout the night sky, causing the floating dark clouds to stop for a while, and also made Shuten Seimei, who had been paying attention to the situation here, stop at the same time.
There was a burnt smell coming from the crackling flames, the flame core was almost white due to the high temperature, and the snake girl inside had turned into a black silhouette.As time passed, the black shadow continued to shrink, as if a piece of firewood had been burned away.
Silence, absolutely strange silence.
The monsters who were baring their teeth and claws just now were all turned into stone sculptures, and they froze in the middle of the way, dumbfounded, maintaining a posture of raising their hands to pounce, neither retreating nor advancing.
As the leader, Shuten-douji was calmer, staring at the silver-haired woman holding a flame with an unclear expression.
Bai Lan took a step under his deep gaze, followed by another step, blinked, and said with a smile: "Well, although it's a little different from what I expected, it's still a success."
Her long, slightly curly silver hair was casually scattered over her shoulders, and her soft hair shone under the firelight, with strands of golden light, and a few strands of broken hair stuck to her cheeks, as if she hadn't taken care of it when she just woke up. Same lazy.The purple eyes, which are slightly lighter in color than Shuten's, are slightly curved, and the eyes are full of brilliance, which is breathtaking.A mass of warm yellow flames floated above her outstretched palms, dancing gently, like a living creature.
To be honest, with Shuten-douji's strength and status, he has seen many good-looking humans and monsters so far.Especially the latter, the more powerful the monster is, the better it looks when transformed into a human form.Not to mention, the big monster Qing Xingdeng who passed by Dajiang Mountain not long ago is a stunning beauty, not to mention the woman who is raised under the maple tree in the back hall of the iron-cast palace, she was also a beautiful woman when she was alive .
Because there are too many excellent skins, appearance is not so important among monsters.Compared with humans, they value the strength under the skin more.
An ordinary-looking but powerful monster is often more respected by other monsters than another beautiful but weak monster, and the same standard applies to humans.
For example, Abe Seimei standing in front of Shuten.The name of this young onmyoji has long been widely circulated among monsters, and all the big monsters pay more or less attention to this powerful human being.It was Abe Seimei who was here tonight, and Jiu Tun did not start a massacre. Although he did not intend to attack Heian-kyo, if another ordinary onmyoji stood here to provoke him, he would have been torn to pieces by Jiu Tun .
The strong are respected.
As long as the strength is strong enough, no matter whether it is a human or a monster, it is worthy of the respect of the ghost king.
In this case, if the appearance is better, it will be the icing on the cake.
This is the case with the silver-haired human playing with flames.
Her beauty is even more thrilling under the background of the flames, and the monster can't help but be overwhelmed by it, and a series of thoughts such as chasing, invading, and occupying can't help but arise.
Jiu Tun stared at the woman with deeper eyes.
Before he put his thoughts into action, Abe Seimei suddenly spoke, impartially, and interrupted Shuten just when Shuten was about to make a move: "Why did Shuten Doji, the ghost king of Oeyama, come to Kyoto suddenly?"
Seeing Jiu Tun turned his head to look back at him, the onmyoji in white continued to say leisurely: "I heard that you are gathering all the monsters in the world to cast a palace with pig iron. There is nothing you need in Ping'an capital."
After listening to these words with a blank face, the red-haired monster pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed.
The sharp lips rolled up, exposing two sharp canine teeth. This ghost king, who is famous for his cruelty and strength in the demon world, is unexpectedly handsome. No wonder it is said that there are human women who were bewitched by him and voluntarily entered Dajiang Mountain to become his loyal one. servant.
Shuten-douji raised one eyebrow, and answered the onmyoji with a smile: "You are not me, how do you know that there is nothing I want in this capital? I love the wine, food, beauties and fancy clothes; I love the magic weapon , silk and satin, gold and silver treasures and famous utensils, the best parts of these things are gathered in this capital city, why don’t you say I don’t come here? Rather, it’s even more strange that I don’t come to Ping’an capital Bar."
These words can be described as extremely rude, and Yuan Boya, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but said at this time: "There are Yinyang houses in the capital, and there are hundreds of onmyojis in the Yinyang houses. So many great virtuous and eminent monks, do you dare to break in and rob them like this?"
"Hahahahaha!" Jiu Tun boy laughed up to the sky when he heard this, even the wine gourd he was carrying seemed to be affected by his master's emotions, and his mouth full of sharp teeth began to grin.
The red-haired ghost king laughed for a long time before he stopped. A strong demonic aura surged all over his body, and even the hem of his clothes and his belt began to rattle in the whirlpool of the violent wind formed by the demonic aura.
With wanton arrogance on his face, he stared at Yuan Boya with scorching eyes and announced loudly: "I am Shuten-douji! Dajiangshan ghost king! Since the day I was born, I have never known what fear is!"
"..." Faced with such wild arrogance, Yuan Boya was momentarily at a loss for words.Although as a human being, and as a subject of His Majesty the Emperor who is a resident of Heian capital, he is very disgusted with monsters like Shuten-douji, but as a samurai, he can't help admiring this heroism.
Under the contradiction between the two, Boya, who was not very good at being flexible, got stuck and couldn't speak.
Fortunately, his friend Seimei was by his side.
A graceful smile appeared on the lips of the young onmyoji. Facing the sharp-edged red-haired ghost king, he was as broad and inclusive as the sea, soft and calm as water, and easily resolved the heavy pressure brought by the powerful evil spirit:
"The King of Ghosts is really brave and fearless, but you came to attack Ping'an Jing...you don't even wear the armor, you really look down on the onmyojis in Ping'an Jing."
Before the words finished, Bai Lan saw Jiu Tun-douji's face change.
Apart from Abe Seimei's meaningful words, it may also be because of the chaotic footsteps approaching from the other side of the street.
She turned sideways a little, and turned her head to see a group of people holding torches running towards this side aggressively. Besides the warriors, there were also many onmyojis, and even a few monks whose bare heads were shining brightly in the firelight.
But the leader of this group of people is neither a warrior nor an onmyoji, but a woman.Wearing a wisteria-colored dress and holding a lantern, the beautiful woman walked slowly and fast, no matter how the people behind her ran to catch up, she always walked in the forefront.It took only a few breaths from seeing her to when she stood beside Abe Seimei.
"It's a honey bug!" Yuan Boya exclaimed, seeing that she knew the woman in purple.
As for Shuten, when he saw the honey worm, his face changed again.
At this time, he was staring at Abe Seimei and sneered, and said in a deep voice: "As expected of Abe Seimei, I will have fun with you next time."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand decisively and waved, the red demonic aura suddenly expanded, turning into a fiery wind and blowing up, rolling up wild sand and rocks so that people could not open their eyes.And Shuten and the group of monsters took advantage of this foul wind and went straight into the night sky, turning into a cloud of smoke in the blink of an eye. The black-red cloud hovered over Kyoto for a while, and then pierced through the clear brilliance cast by the crescent moon. Go northwest.
A month later, Yuan Boya sat at Seimei's house and talked about the red-haired ghost king that night and couldn't help but click his tongue, saying with emotion: "Shuten-douji really deserves to be a ghost king. Entering and leaving Heianjing is like entering and leaving no one's land. When he came, he swaggered He came here leading the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, and when he left, he waved his hands and left in the clouds, which is really different from those monsters and elves I have seen before."
Abe Seimei sat across from him, holding a wine glass and staring at the clear liquid in it, smiling calmly.
Every time he saw him like this, Boya couldn't help but reflect on what he had just said, always feeling that there was something wrong.But just like in the past, this time the honest samurai looked back and found nothing wrong.
Seeing the onmyoji in white smiling and laughing, Yuan Boya finally asked as always: "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Huh?" Abe Seimei raised his eyes, his eyes were watery, and there was a faint smile on his rosy lips, "No. Boya is right."
Seeing that his friend agreed with him, Yuan Boya felt relieved and scratched his head: "But Qingming, when did you recruit honey bugs? How did you tell her to go find the samurai and onmyoji who were on duty that night? Why didn't I read it?" Arrived? Before that, didn’t you fight Shuten-douji all the time?”
"Hmm—when?" Seimei took a sip of sake, and answered slowly, showing a thoughtful expression, "Probably when he was fighting Shuten-douji."
"Huh? Facing Shuten-douji, even Seimei will be very stressful for you, right? Can you find time to summon honey bugs in such a tense situation?"
"Perhaps so."
"What is maybe, yes is yes, no is no, why am I not sure." Yuan Boya looked at the smile on Onmyoji's face, sighed, and gave up, "Forget it, anyway, sometimes Qingming just likes talking Say half and leave half."
"Is that so?" He asked lightly.
"Of course it is!"
Yuan Boya answered firmly, and nodded vigorously in order to add weight to the affirmation.
It was the end of July, and Qingming's courtyard was more vibrant and full of wild charm than before.Some seasonal wildflowers, such as twigs and bellflowers, have already bloomed one after another, and they are clustered together. Because the varieties are too complicated, the fragrances of different kinds of flowers are mixed together, forming a special fragrance that can only be smelled in the home of onmyoji Abe Seimei.
A faint fragrance wafted from the room, and two fair-skinned women brought two food tables to Qingming and Boya.On the food table is a thin-necked bottle of wine, and a plate of grilled sweetfish with salt. The appetizing fragrance is emitted from this plate of sweetfish.
Looking at the dish of sweetfish, Boya sighed, "The master of Kamogawa sent sweetfish here again."
"Yes." Qingming put down the wine glass, picked up the belly of the sweetfish with chopsticks and tore it open, and a puff of heat rose.
They said that the owner of Kamogawa is an otter spirit with a very gentle personality. With the help of onmyoji Seimei by chance, he would send someone to deliver the best sweetfish of the season every summer.
"This is the best sweetfish besides Guichuan." Yuan Boya imitated Seimei's movements, and also used chopsticks to tear open the belly of the fish, picked up a piece of crystal fish and put it in his mouth, "It's delicious!"
No matter how many times he eats, the man with true temperament can't help but be so amazed.
Qingming picked up the wine glass that was refilled by the woman, and raised it to Boya: "Come, drink."
"Okay, drink!" Boya also toasted, but his eyes fell on the two women who had turned their backs to them and walked into the room.
Noticing his gaze, Qingming smiled and joked, "Have you taken a fancy to them?"
"Hey, what are you talking about? It's nothing!" Boya quickly waved his hand to deny, "It's just that I haven't seen it with you before. It's a familiar face. Seimei, how many shikigami do you have?"
Ampere Seimei smiled like a fox.
"why are you laughing?"
"This is not my shikigami." Onmyoji replied.
"Ai?!"
Boya is used to seeing all kinds of shikigami in his friend's house, such as the honey bug that led the samurai and onmyoji to drive away Shuten-douji last time, and the honey butterfly that he had seen before.In short, in Yuan Boya's eyes, it would not be surprising for Seimei to come up with twelve different shikigami in one go, but this time, it was not Seimei's shikigami.
"Is King Ye here too? That's amazing. He's only seven or six years old this year."
"It's seven years old." Seimei replied.
Boya nodded, picked up the jug and poured wine into his own glass, and filled Seimei's at the same time, put down the thin-necked jug, shook his head and sighed: "It's amazing, I can summon shikigami at the age of seven. This should be very remarkable Right, Seimei?"
"Very remarkable." The young onmyoji turned his head to look at the younger brother who was coming, and said with a smile, "Lord Zhongxing once said that Ye Wang's talent is no less than that of senior brother Baoxian and me."
Ye Wang, who was wearing a straight white dress and combed his hairstyle with a straight horn, came out of the room, followed by the two fair-skinned women just now, and the women were holding two new food tables.
Hearing his brother speak highly of himself, the overly handsome little boy didn't even lift his eyelids, his expression was so calm that he went to the porch and sat down on his knees, motioning to the two shikigami to put the food table in front of him and across from him: "Brother was joking."
Boya thought he was self-effacing, and just wanted to say that Master He Maozhongxing said that, so it must be true.
As a result, before he could speak, Ma Cangye Wang said immediately: "My talent is not as good as those of the two senior brothers, but even so, I am still far superior to others."
Yuan Boya: "..."
The words of consolation stuck in his throat, and he just took a sip of sake, and the sip of wine was stunned by Ye Wang's wild words, causing Boya to cover his mouth and cough desperately.
Abe Seimei glanced at Boya who was in a state of embarrassment, laughed aloud, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, but did not refute Wang Ye's words.
Bai Lan hadn't even entered the room when she heard Ye Wang's little ghost speak shockingly.Usually looks calm, seems to be as calm and breezy as his senior brother, but in fact Ye Wang is much more arrogant than Abe Seimei.
Fortunately, Bailan has lived in Qingming's house for so long, and she has already seen through the boy's nature. She was not surprised like Yuan Boya. She just continued to yawn and walked over at a leisurely pace.
She could smell the fragrance of salt-grilled sweetfish in the corridor.Leaving other things aside, the fact that Qingming can often eat fresh sweetfish is enough to satisfy Bailan.
At this time, country R was not rich in products. As an island country, there were many mountains and little land. What's more, the people's wisdom is not yet developed. Except for Heianjing, which is still prosperous, other places are deep mountains and wild forests, with scarce cultivated land.The nobles advocated Buddhism and refused to eat meat.The combination of these factors resulted in only two meals a day, and the most common ingredients on the table were only rice, vegetables and dried fish.Yes, it is dried fish, even fresh fish is rare.
This made the beautiful girl Bailan from the 21st century very depressed, and what made her even more depressed was that this month she found time to use the ability of parallel time and space to contact herself in other worlds.Many of them are in the 22th century or even the [-]nd century. There are countless delicacies at hand every day, and you can eat three meals a week in different ways without repeating the same.
Under such a cruel comparison, Bai Lan (♀) in country R in the Heian period looked even more pitiful.
Fortunately, here at Qingming, there is the pure natural and pollution-free "Qingliu Queen" sweetfish that can soothe her wounded heart, and prevent her from rushing to other worlds to kill those Bailan who laughed at her like another lunatic .
After eating sweetfish and drinking sake, the atmosphere among the four became more harmonious.
After the meal, Bai Lan and the others leaned against the porch, admiring the wild scenery in the yard, and chatting about the latest gossip.
As the master of the three palaces, Yuan Boya is the most informed. Let me talk about the most frequently talked about thing: "Chun Ji, the adopted daughter of Minister Zuo, has entered the palace, and within ten days she will be named queen. Now It caused a lot of discussion inside and outside the palace. Many people said that Chunji is another Wenji, and some people said that she was comparable to the noble concubine Yang of the Tang Dynasty."
Qingming took a step first, standing in front of Bai Lan and Boya.
Over Seimei's sleeve, Bai Lan saw the red-haired monster standing up, the gourd still in his hand.He shook the gourd of wine as if having fun, and stared at this side with a half-smile: "Abe Seimei?"
"Shuten-douji." The onmyoji in front of him saluted back politely.
At this time, the monsters had already surrounded the three of them layer by layer, and the only place directly in front without a few layers of monsters was where Shuten-douji was standing.
From the corner of her eyes, Bai Lan caught a glimpse of Boya's hand on the handle of the tachi knife again.
She wasn't sure whether Taidao was useful to these monsters that existed in reality - unlike Wen Ji, who had no shadows before, the shadows of these monsters were all lined up on the ground - and at the same time, she wondered whether her flame would hurt them , If there is, how big will it be, and will it have an additional bonus effect like holy water has on vampires.
It's just obvious that neither Boya, Seimei, nor the monsters on the opposite side count Bai Lan as a combat force.
Bai Lan even heard a thin voice yelling: "That silver-haired human looks so delicious!" Looking over, it was the little monk with one eye behind his back.

Under the contradiction between the two, Boya, who was not very good at being flexible, got stuck and couldn't speak.
Fortunately, his friend Seimei was by his side.
A graceful smile appeared on the lips of the young onmyoji. Facing the sharp-edged red-haired ghost king, he was as broad and inclusive as the sea, soft and calm as water, and easily resolved the heavy pressure brought by the powerful evil spirit:
"The King of Ghosts is really brave and fearless, but you came to attack Ping'an Jing...you don't even wear the armor, you really look down on the onmyojis in Ping'an Jing."
Before the words finished, Bai Lan saw Jiu Tun-douji's face change.
Apart from Abe Seimei's meaningful words, it may also be because of the chaotic footsteps approaching from the other side of the street.
She turned sideways a little, and turned her head to see a group of people holding torches running towards this side aggressively. Besides the warriors, there were also many onmyojis, and even a few monks whose bare heads were shining brightly in the firelight.
But the leader of this group of people is neither a warrior nor an onmyoji, but a woman.Wearing a wisteria-colored dress and holding a lantern, the beautiful woman walked slowly and fast, no matter how the people behind her ran to catch up, she always walked in the forefront.It took only a few breaths from seeing her to when she stood beside Abe Seimei.
"It's a honey bug!" Yuan Boya exclaimed, seeing that she knew the woman in purple.
As for Shuten, when he saw the honey worm, his face changed again.
At this time, he was staring at Abe Seimei and sneered, and said in a deep voice: "As expected of Abe Seimei, I will have fun with you next time."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand decisively and waved, the red demonic aura suddenly expanded, turning into a fiery wind and blowing up, rolling up wild sand and rocks so that people could not open their eyes.And Shuten and the group of monsters took advantage of this foul wind and went straight into the night sky, turning into a cloud of smoke in the blink of an eye. The black-red cloud hovered over Kyoto for a while, and then pierced through the clear brilliance cast by the crescent moon. Go northwest.
A month later, Yuan Boya sat at Seimei's house and talked about the red-haired ghost king that night and couldn't help but click his tongue, saying with emotion: "Shuten-douji really deserves to be a ghost king. Entering and leaving Heianjing is like entering and leaving no one's land. When he came, he swaggered He came here leading the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, and when he left, he waved his hands and left in the clouds, which is really different from those monsters and elves I have seen before."
Abe Seimei sat across from him, holding a wine glass and staring at the clear liquid in it, smiling calmly.
Every time he saw him like this, Boya couldn't help but reflect on what he had just said, always feeling that there was something wrong.But just like in the past, this time the honest samurai looked back and found nothing wrong.
Seeing the onmyoji in white smiling and laughing, Yuan Boya finally asked as always: "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Huh?" Abe Seimei raised his eyes, his eyes were watery, and there was a faint smile on his rosy lips, "No. Boya is right."
Seeing that his friend agreed with him, Yuan Boya felt relieved and scratched his head: "But Qingming, when did you recruit honey bugs? How did you tell her to go find the samurai and onmyoji who were on duty that night? Why didn't I read it?" Arrived? Before that, didn’t you fight Shuten-douji all the time?”
"Hmm—when?" Seimei took a sip of sake, and answered slowly, showing a thoughtful expression, "Probably when he was fighting Shuten-douji."
"Huh? Facing Shuten-douji, even Seimei will be very stressful for you, right? Can you find time to summon honey bugs in such a tense situation?"
"Perhaps so."
"What is maybe, yes is yes, no is no, why am I not sure." Yuan Boya looked at the smile on Onmyoji's face, sighed, and gave up, "Forget it, anyway, sometimes Qingming just likes talking Say half and leave half."
"Is that so?" He asked lightly.
"Of course it is!"
Yuan Boya answered firmly, and nodded vigorously in order to add weight to the affirmation.
It was the end of July, and Qingming's courtyard was more vibrant and full of wild charm than before.Some seasonal wildflowers, such as twigs and bellflowers, have already bloomed one after another, and they are clustered together. Because the varieties are too complicated, the fragrances of different kinds of flowers are mixed together, forming a special fragrance that can only be smelled in the home of onmyoji Abe Seimei.
A faint fragrance wafted from the room, and two fair-skinned women brought two food tables to Qingming and Boya.On the food table is a thin-necked bottle of wine, and a plate of grilled sweetfish with salt. The appetizing fragrance is emitted from this plate of sweetfish.
Looking at the dish of sweetfish, Boya sighed, "The master of Kamogawa sent sweetfish here again."
"Yes." Qingming put down the wine glass, picked up the belly of the sweetfish with chopsticks and tore it open, and a puff of heat rose.
They said that the owner of Kamogawa is an otter spirit with a very gentle personality. With the help of onmyoji Seimei by chance, he would send someone to deliver the best sweetfish of the season every summer.
"This is the best sweetfish besides Guichuan." Yuan Boya imitated Seimei's movements, and also used chopsticks to tear open the belly of the fish, picked up a piece of crystal fish and put it in his mouth, "It's delicious!"
No matter how many times he eats, the man with true temperament can't help but be so amazed.
Qingming picked up the wine glass that was refilled by the woman, and raised it to Boya: "Come, drink."
"Okay, drink!" Boya also toasted, but his eyes fell on the two women who had turned their backs to them and walked into the room.
Noticing his gaze, Qingming smiled and joked, "Have you taken a fancy to them?"
"Hey, what are you talking about? It's nothing!" Boya quickly waved his hand to deny, "It's just that I haven't seen it with you before. It's a familiar face. Seimei, how many shikigami do you have?"
Ampere Seimei smiled like a fox.
"why are you laughing?"
"This is not my shikigami." Onmyoji replied.
"Ai?!"
Boya is used to seeing all kinds of shikigami in his friend's house, such as the honey bug that led the samurai and onmyoji to drive away Shuten-douji last time, and the honey butterfly that he had seen before.In short, in Yuan Boya's eyes, it would not be surprising for Seimei to come up with twelve different shikigami in one go, but this time, it was not Seimei's shikigami.
"Is King Ye here too? That's amazing. He's only seven or six years old this year."
"It's seven years old." Seimei replied.
Boya nodded, picked up the jug and poured wine into his own glass, and filled Seimei's at the same time, put down the thin-necked jug, shook his head and sighed: "It's amazing, I can summon shikigami at the age of seven. This should be very remarkable Right, Seimei?"
"Very remarkable." The young onmyoji turned his head to look at the younger brother who was coming, and said with a smile, "Lord Zhongxing once said that Ye Wang's talent is no less than that of senior brother Baoxian and me."
Ye Wang, who was wearing a straight white dress and combed his hairstyle with a straight horn, came out of the room, followed by the two fair-skinned women just now, and the women were holding two new food tables.
Hearing his brother speak highly of himself, the overly handsome little boy didn't even lift his eyelids, his expression was so calm that he went to the porch and sat down on his knees, motioning to the two shikigami to put the food table in front of him and across from him: "Brother was joking."
Boya thought he was self-effacing, and just wanted to say that Master He Maozhongxing said that, so it must be true.
As a result, before he could speak, Ma Cangye Wang said immediately: "My talent is not as good as those of the two senior brothers, but even so, I am still far superior to others."
Yuan Boya: "..."
The words of consolation stuck in his throat, and he just took a sip of sake, and the sip of wine was stunned by Ye Wang's wild words, causing Boya to cover his mouth and cough desperately.
Abe Seimei glanced at Boya who was in a state of embarrassment, laughed aloud, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, but did not refute Wang Ye's words.
Bai Lan hadn't even entered the room when she heard Ye Wang's little ghost speak shockingly.Usually looks calm, seems to be as calm and breezy as his senior brother, but in fact Ye Wang is much more arrogant than Abe Seimei.
Fortunately, Bailan has lived in Qingming's house for so long, and she has already seen through the boy's nature. She was not surprised like Yuan Boya. She just continued to yawn and walked over at a leisurely pace.
She could smell the fragrance of salt-grilled sweetfish in the corridor.Leaving other things aside, the fact that Qingming can often eat fresh sweetfish is enough to satisfy Bailan.
At this time, country R was not rich in products. As an island country, there were many mountains and little land. What's more, the people's wisdom is not yet developed. Except for Heianjing, which is still prosperous, other places are deep mountains and wild forests, with scarce cultivated land.The nobles advocated Buddhism and refused to eat meat.The combination of these factors resulted in only two meals a day, and the most common ingredients on the table were only rice, vegetables and dried fish.Yes, it is dried fish, even fresh fish is rare.
This made the beautiful girl Bailan from the 21st century very depressed, and what made her even more depressed was that this month she found time to use the ability of parallel time and space to contact herself in other worlds.Many of them are in the 22th century or even the [-]nd century. There are countless delicacies at hand every day, and you can eat three meals a week in different ways without repeating the same.
Under such a cruel comparison, Bai Lan (♀) in country R in the Heian period looked even more pitiful.
Fortunately, here at Qingming, there is the pure natural and pollution-free "Qingliu Queen" sweetfish that can soothe her wounded heart, and prevent her from rushing to other worlds to kill those Bailan who laughed at her like another lunatic .
After eating sweetfish and drinking sake, the atmosphere among the four became more harmonious.
After the meal, Bai Lan and the others leaned against the porch, admiring the wild scenery in the yard, and chatting about the latest gossip.
As the master of the three palaces, Yuan Boya is the most informed. Let me talk about the most frequently talked about thing: "Chun Ji, the adopted daughter of Minister Zuo, has entered the palace, and within ten days she will be named queen. Now It caused a lot of discussion inside and outside the palace. Many people said that Chunji is another Wenji, and some people said that she was comparable to the noble concubine Yang of the Tang Dynasty."
