[Comprehensive] Goddess of Bryan

Five days have passed since Abe Seimei returned to Kyoto from Oeyama.During these five days, he first reported the incident between Dajiangshan and Yuzao to his master He Mao Zhongxing, and then went to the palace with him to meet the Holy One, and finally, he assisted Mr. Zhongxing and Mr. Ashiya Doman to get rid of the legacy of the Tianhu curse. The last bit of haze.

After finishing all these, He Maozhongxing finally gave up his leave and allowed Qingming to avoid things and avoid things.

Right now, this young talent from Yinyang Liao is sitting on the porch, enjoying the moonlight, drinking some wine and eating grilled fish, feeling very comfortable.

Yuan Boya pushed open the door, and this was what he saw.He was carrying a bamboo basket, and the first thing he noticed was the food table in front of Abe Seimei.After seeing the grilled fish in the mud dish as expected, the honest man showed a look of regret: "I didn't expect Seimei to come back, and Lord Kamogawa sent sweetfish. If I had known, I would not have gone out to find the fisherman." I bought it."

Complaining like this, Minamoto Hiroya handed the bamboo basket in his hand to Shikigami Sakura, took off his leather boots, and stepped on Seimei's not-so-new but very clean loggia.

The onmyoji who held the wine cup smiled lightly, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then picked up the thin-necked wine jug, and filled it up for himself and Boya.

In Abe Seimei's house, it seems that there will always be the most fragrant wine, the freshest fish and the most vibrant and wild yard.

Rao Yuan Boya had come to his friend's house many times, and when he saw a plant of eucalyptus climbing to the verandah, he still couldn't help muttering: "It's too wanton and romantic."

Seimei still smiled and didn't answer, until Yuan Hiroya raised his chopsticks and began to taste the sweetfish on the plate, he said slowly: "This is not the sweetfish from Kamogawa, Boya, what did you eat?"

It was only then that Yuan Boya realized that the fish in his mouth was more tender than usual, and the fragrance was stronger, even comparable to the Katsura Sichuan sweetfish he had enjoyed in the palace.

"This is..." The frustration on his face was replaced by surprise.

"This is sent by the Lord of Arakawa."

Yuan Boya scratched his head: "Seimei, you can always recognize many monsters."

Abe Seimei raised his sleeves, and the long sleeves of the wide white safari covered his rosy lips, revealing only a pair of clear and moist slender black eyes: "Oh, there are not so many."

The loyal and honest samurai seemed unaware of what he said about an onmyoji. He took another piece of fish and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully. His eyes lit up a few more degrees: "It's really delicious!"

"It is not in vain for the kindness of Lord Arakawa to be appreciated by Boya."

"The Lord of Arakawa, the Lord of Arakawa..." Yuan Hiroya muttered to himself for a while, and after Seimei finished another glass of wine, he remembered something, "Ah! It's Lord Kamogawa's cousin!"

Onmyoji glanced at him in surprise: "It's hard for you to remember."

"After all, Seimei, you said before that Lord Kamogawa went to visit his cousin, and he mentioned that these two are cousins." Yuan Boya was surprised to see Qingming, and couldn't help feeling a little proud, holding up the wine cup He took a sip and said with a smile, "So Seimei, after you disappeared for so long, did you go to Arakawa?"

"Yes and no." Qingming lowered his head and looked into his glass, where a crescent moon was reflected in the lightly swaying transparent liquid, "It's better to say that I'm going to meet an important person."

"How important is it?"

"Probably... in my heart, it is more important than the Emperor."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Yuan Boya accidentally choked on the sake, coughed and looked at Seimei reproachfully, "You are disrespectful to the Holy One!"

"Whatever you want." Onmyoji didn't look up, still looking at his wine glass.

His nonchalant demeanor made Yuan Boya helpless, and also made him sigh that it really was Seimei Abe.

However, at Seimei's house, drinking Seimei's wine and eating the sweetfish sent by the monster, who could it be if it's not Abe Seimei?Yuan Boya laughed secretly at himself, thought for a while and then mentioned another person: "Speaking of which, not only are you absent in Qingming these days, even Ye Wang has disappeared."

"Oh, him," Seimei understood when he mentioned this junior brother, after all, he and himself had left Ping'an-kyo, "he went to Izumo."

"Hey?"

"Isn't it Kannazuki now? The gods have all gone to Izumo to gather. That's where the Asakura clan's clan is located, so they must go back to serve the gods."

"It's really amazing. It's a god." Yuan Boya nodded with emotion, and looked at the courtyard full of vibrant weeds. Under the moonlight like water, all the flowers, plants and trees were covered with a layer of white gauze, and even the small pond in the courtyard reflected The moon in the sky exudes silver light, very beautiful and elegant

It's autumn, and the temperature at night has dropped. A gust of night wind blows, the flowers and plants sway, and the water ripples lightly, which makes Boya feel deserted.

He thought about where this feeling came from, and soon found the answer: "That's right! Qingming, didn't you say that Miss Bailan would come back soon last time? It’s been a month since she was kidnapped, is it really okay? If you and Ye Wang hadn’t said she was fine, I couldn’t help but ask Mr. Zhongyuki and Mr. Watanabe Tsuna to rescue her.”

Yuan Boya said a long list in one breath, really worried about the girl who is as beautiful as the moonlight tonight, but she was taken away by monsters.If Qingming and Ye Wang hadn't repeatedly assured Boya that she was fine, he would have lost his hair in the past few days.I thought Qingming left Beijing this time to pick up Miss Bailan, but he came back alone, which made Yuan Boya very disappointed.

With Ye Wang not here, and Miss Bailan not here, Qingming's house will be deserted.

I thought my friend would laugh and tease me, "I care about Ms. Bailan so much, is she interested in her?" Anyway, Qingming would occasionally tease Yuan Boya like this. A word.

Yuan Boya stopped eating chopsticks, looked up in surprise, and saw a young man in white with black hair casually draped over his shoulders, holding his wine glass motionlessly, staring down.He didn't speak, he didn't blink, even the angle of lowering his head was exactly the same as before, as if he had turned into a wood carving, and he couldn't move again before Yuan Boya found out.

The frank samurai panicked, subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed Qingming's shoulder and shook it: "Qingming?!"

To his relief, Seimei Abe didn't really turn into a statue.Boya shook the liquor in his hand into the cup, splashed a few drops and fell on the clean floor, leaving some dark stains.The onmyoji in hunting clothes blinked, slowly raised his head, rolled up his ruddy mouth and smiled: "Why is Boya so panicked?"

Seeing that his expression was as usual, and his tone of teasing himself was exactly the same as before, Yuan Boya breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his hand and touched his nose: "You suddenly became motionless, I thought you were hit like I was in Baoxiang Pipa. It's the monster's curse."

That time Yuan Boya accidentally handed over his real name to a monster, and was cursed by the other party, unable to move. The feeling of being unable to control his body still haunts Yuan Boya.

"Don't worry, Boya, as an onmyoji, I won't hand over my name casually." Qingming blinked and said with a smile, but the light in his eyes dimmed a lot, "I just thought of some things."

"what?"

As a result, Abe Seimei did not answer, but instead asked Boya: "I have one thing I want to ask Boya for advice."

Boya has become accustomed to his friend's unpredictable way of speaking, he drank the sake in the glass in one breath, smacked his lips in praise: "No problem, just tell me."

"If Boya likes a woman and wants to express his feelings to her, but before expressing his feelings, he knows that the woman will not accept this feeling, will Boya still speak out?"

"Pfft—" Yuan Boya sprayed out the wine before he swallowed it.He was so surprised that after spraying, he didn't even care about cleaning up his posture and arranging his clothes. He suddenly turned his head and stared at his friend, and stammered, "You, what are you talking about?"

Abe Seimei rolled his eyes and smiled, but did not answer.

Yuan Boya was stunned for a long while, turning that sentence over and over in his head several times, and after making sure he understood correctly, he asked his friend cautiously: "Do you... have a crush on anyone?"

The unparalleled onmyoji smiled and sighed: "Bo Ya, you haven't answered my question yet."

Seeing his look and eyes, Yuan Boya didn't dare to continue to ask, but he weighed it in his heart, he had already recalled it, and guessed who Qingming liked.

But it's true, who doesn't like such a beautiful girl, even Yuan Boya himself was tempted for a moment.

Facing the friend's urging, Boya scratched his head: "If it was me, I would still say it."

Abe Seimei was obviously taken aback.

"Wuershan has no mouthful flowers, and no one understands what's on my mind." Yuan Boya recited a waka that he learned when he and Qingming fought monsters together, and looked at the silent onmyoji and said sincerely: "I have never I think so. Instead of hiding my thoughts and hoping that no one will know, it would be better to say "I want someone to know what I want deep in the mountains."

Qingming pursed her lips and smiled: "This sentence is also a sentence in the ancient and modern waka collection."

Yuan Boya nodded: "It's amazing, there is nothing in this world that you, Abe Seimei, don't know. I didn't know this until the son of the right minister's family read it when I was on duty in the palace last time."

Qingming sighed again: "I don't know too much, but Boya you didn't find out. For example, I don't know what that girl will think after I express my heart. My original intention is to hope that she is happy. , I don't want her to be troubled by this matter."

"So Seimei didn't explain in the end?"

"Yeah, I didn't say it in the end. It's just that looking at the beautiful moonlight tonight and thinking of her, I still feel unwilling after all."

"...I think this is quite good." Yuan Boya said something that even an onmyoji could not have imagined, "Qingming is too gentle. If you are so gentle, you will easily get hurt emotionally."

Will be emotionally hurt.

Qingming repeated this sentence in his heart, lowered his head, and stared at the moonlight in the cup.

Human beings like beautiful, good, pleasing things, and Seimei Abe is no exception.

At first, I just thought it was pretty, but later, in order to get rid of the evil spirit on her body, it was convenient to enter the palace and meet the emperor, so I took her to my home, and after getting along for a long time, I found it very interesting.Probably from the moment I found it interesting, it started.

Unknowingly, I fell into it.

It's deep in the mountains, but I hope someone knows it.

I hope she can know her intentions, but she also understands that if she really speaks out, it will embarrass the other party, so it's better not to say it.In this way, even if it is uncomfortable, only one person will be uncomfortable, and it will be better than two people together.

Gently shaking the wine glass, watching the crescent moon floating in the white porcelain cup shake for a while, and a burst of silver light like shards of ice and snow appeared.

Before leaving, the moonlight was so beautiful that he couldn't help himself, so he blurted out accidentally, but as soon as he touched the pair of bright purple pupils, Abe Seimei calmed down again, retreated to his original position, and finally said nothing.

He, the most outrageous thing he ever did was just raise his hand and pat her on the head.

He raised his head, and under Boya's worried eyes, the white-clothed, black-haired young man smiled with his eyes bent, raised his head and drank in one gulp while riding the crescent moon in the sky.

The cold wine slid down the throat and into the stomach, as if it could suppress thousands of emotions together.

When Yuan Boya left Qingming's house, the jug and two wine glasses were empty, and the two plates of grilled fish were only the skeletons left facing each other on the food table.

Abe Seimei lay on his side under the porch, watching the moon in the sky and the courtyard on the ground, with distant and clear eyes.He was motionless, and he could barely hear his breathing, making Shikigami Sakura and Momo mistakenly think that the master was asleep, so they went to the house to fetch the haori, and wanted to put it on the young man's shoulders.

But he didn't want to find out that the onmyoji's eyes were open and his mind was clear when he stood beside the onmyoji with his clothes in his hand, apparently neither asleep nor intoxicated.For a moment, holding the peach of Haori, he froze in place, not knowing whether to continue to move forward or retreat silently.

The Onmyoji simply noticed her, sat up straight with a smile, took the haori from Tao's hand, put it on himself, and nodded to the two shikigami: "It's okay, it's late at night, you go and rest."

Abe Seimei has always been a gentle master, and he treats shikigami equally. All the monsters recovered by him like him very much. Therefore, seeing him so abnormal tonight, Sakura and Tao glanced at each other and saw it through each other's eyes. worry.

In the end, Sakura, who was more stable, was the first to bow down and salute, and pulled Tao, letting her step down with him.

After retreating from the paper figurine, Tao asked his friend strangely: "Is it okay to look like that, sir? Shall we just leave like this?"

The cherry blossom demon with a woman's hairstyle let out a long sigh, recalling her love affair that ended in tragedy, she couldn't help crying for herself and Lord Qingming: "It's useless for outsiders to say more about feelings. I just hope that adults can think about it for themselves." .”

Abe Seimei did not live up to Sakura Demon's expectations. He saw more clearly than anyone else, and he knew better than anyone what to do and what to say. So when the next day dawned, he returned to normal again, turning into the flowing cloud Such a chic and calm great onmyoji.This made Cherry and Yuan Boya, who were secretly worried about him, heave a sigh of relief at the same time.

This calm was not broken until Kannazuki ended and King Ye returned from Izumo.

In front of King Ye who possesses spiritual vision, even Seimei Abe had to face his true heart.

The little junior who hadn't seen him for more than a month seemed to have grown taller, and his expression was still so cold. Only when he faced He Maozhongxing, Baoxian and Qingming, his fellow disciples, did his gaze become warmer.

Wearing a white boy's straight clothes, he stood in the golden autumn sunshine of the courtyard and stared fixedly at his senior brother under the verandah. After a long while, he opened his mouth unhurriedly: "Senior brother, after he came back from Dajiangshan, did you ever divination?" Bai Lan's whereabouts?"

Abe Seimei shook his head.

Ma Cang Yewang's eyes flashed, and he walked to the veranda, bypassing a sage flower that had already climbed to the veranda: "Brother, you might as well try it once, because on the way back from Izumo to Ping'anjing, I heard Some rumours."

Qingming knew that because of Spirit Vision, this junior had more information channels than the average person, and had a strict personality, so he probably really knew something, so he said this.

Once Bai Lan was involved, Abe Seimei would always lose his usual composure.Finally, under Ye Wang's gaze, he nodded, turned around and took out a wooden box from the bookshelf in the room. On the box was painted a painting of flowers and birds with gold lacquer, silver thread and mother-of-pearl. It was a kingfisher hanging Stop in front of an orchid.

Pushing open the lid, there was a lilac-purple cushion inside, but on the cushion was just an ordinary pebble.

In the eyes of outsiders, this scene is too disappointing. It is really disappointing to see such a gorgeous box and exquisite cushions, but only a stupid and simple stone.

However, when Abe Seimei picked the stone out of the wooden box, his gentle expression gave people a misleading association, similar to that-"maybe it just looks ordinary on the surface, but there is a precious jade hidden inside".

If someone really thinks this way, the fact is doomed to disappoint them, because this is really just a pebble, the most common one that can be picked up on the ground.

The only unusual thing is that this stone was once cursed, and was thrown out, and finally fell into the hands of Abe Seimei.

Seeing this stone, Qingming remembered Bai Lan's unreasonable promise when she first met her.At that time, I smiled on my face, but my heart was a little cold for the woman's cold blood.

So how did such a self fall in love with her in the end?

Qingming shook his head, laughed at himself, and once again found that there is no trace of feelings. Before him, countless people have been crazy about it

When he came back to his senses, he put the stone on the compass, wrote the spell, and began to read the spell for divination.

This is not difficult, at least for Abe Seimei, it is almost as simple as eating and drinking.The result came out soon, but Qingming's expression changed after seeing what Zhanpan instructed.

He watched Zhanpan silently, and after a long time, he raised his hand to mess up the results on the panel, and picked up the sharp-edged stone and put it in his palm.

When he walked out of the house, Wang Ye was already sitting on the porch, shaking his legs, staring at the small pond in the courtyard in a daze.

Hearing the sound of Qingming's footsteps, the child turned around, and in the big and black pupils unique to children, there was a brilliance like an adult: "Did you see it?"

Only then did Qingming spit out the depression in his chest: "How do you know?"

"I met Fengshen Yimulian, I knew it from him. I heard that the ghost king Jiutun almost overturned the whole country in order to find her."

Abe Seimei couldn't help but smile wryly, both for himself and for the ghost king who sounded very infatuated: "It's overthrown, it's no longer in this world, even if you find Gao Tianyuan..."

He paused, did not say the following words, the corners of the stones in the palm of his hand pressed against his skin, causing a faint pain.

Walking to King Ye, sat down next to him, and bathed in the warm sunshine of the autumn afternoon with the two of them.Abe Seimei narrowed his eyes, with a lazy and relieved look, but the fingers hidden under his sleeve couldn't help rubbing the stone.

Ma Cangye Wang looked at the golden sunlight on the surface of the pond, and said suddenly: "Since she will come back... Brother, are you going to find the mermaid?"

Humans who eat mermaid meat have a very small probability of being immortal.

If the result of the divination is true, Bai Lan will return to this world, and if she really can live forever, she will definitely be able to see her then.

Ye Wang's spiritual vision can let him see what his brother is thinking, but it can't let him know Abe Seimei's emotional fluctuations.He only knew that this idea was turning over and over in his senior brother's mind——

To find, or not to go?

I don't know how long it took until the sun moved to the west, and Abe Seimei's dozing eyes moved.He half-opened his eyes, and there was a gentle light under his closed eyelids: "No, everything is God's will."

Everything is God's will.

After that, probably decades have passed, whether it is 50 years or 60 years, no one can say for sure.

But in short, many years have passed, and even the supreme ruler living in the palace has changed. The once amazing and talented onmyojis died of old age one by one. No matter how these people lived, they were no different from ordinary people after death. They all turned into loess and returned to heaven and earth.

The same is true for Abe Seimei, but before he died, he left his last wish and the only one.I only hope that after his death, a wooden box can be buried with him.

The box was painted with gold lacquer, silver filigree and mother-of-pearl in a painting of flowers and birds. It was a kingfisher hovering in front of an orchid.

Out of caution, the adopted son of the great Onmyoji opened the box and checked it before putting it in the coffin.

It was lined with a lilac-purple soft cloth, and a stone was placed on the soft cloth.This stone looks very ordinary, no different from the ones that can be picked up on the ground. The only thing that is special is that the surface of the stone itself is extremely smooth, as if it has been rubbed with hands for years, so that all the edges and corners have been smoothed.

Since it is the last wish of the elders, even if it is strange, the younger generation should abide by it.

The lid was closed again, and in the darkness, the smooth stone lay quietly on the purple cushion.

Across the wooden boards, the wooden box was placed beside the pillow of a thin old man. The old man had a handsome appearance, his eyes were closed, and his expression was serene. His lips were as rosy as a young man's, and he could vaguely see the splendor of his youth.

In the end, the coffin was closed, and the old man and the wooden box next to the old man's pillow were all turned into darkness, and the splendor and glory of his life also returned to the soil.

According to the records of later generations, Abe Seimei, who was an official to four doctors of astronomy during his lifetime, died at the age of 85. He never married a wife and had children in his life, and only adopted a disciple of his family as an adopted son in his later years.His teacher He Mao Zhongxing, his senior brother He Mao Baoxian, and his senior brother is Ma Cangye Wang, the Great Onmyoji who is also well-known and extremely famous.

The Ma Cang Yewang Great Onmyoji lived a little longer than his senior brother, and after his death, he was regarded as a patron saint by the Ma Cang family, enshrined and worshiped for generations, and He Maozhongxing's school eventually became the most famous school in the history of Yin Yang Dao.

After the death of Ma Cangye King, more than ten years later, one day a stunning woman in red and black hair came to Qingming's grave to worship on the ground with dead branches and fallen leaves.Standing beside her was a young man of extremely tall stature and a handsome face. A huge skull was suspended behind the young man.

Huang watched his partner solemnly closed his eyes and folded his hands together, bowing down to pay respects to a human grave, neither speaking nor feeling surprised.

Because this is Abe Seimei's tomb.

If it's Abe Seimei, he deserves such respect from any monster.

After Hongye worshiped, she opened her eyes, curled her red lips and smiled, then sighed again: "In the end, I couldn't see with my own eyes what kind of demeanor Qingming Gong is."

The author has something to say:

Seimei is so nice (the idiot holds his face)
