[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

"East wind...if it blows, make sure that the garden fragrance...takes the wind. My plum...Even if you lose the owner, don't...forget the spring day."

where is this?

Reiko was walking in the pitch-black dream, and a waka with a long rhythm came from far away. An old voice was full of sadness and reluctance, as if it was saying goodbye to someone.

She kept walking along the direction of the sound, and light slowly appeared in front of her.

There was a courtyard where a plum tree was planted, the flowers on the plum tree were as red as blood, and under the tree, there was a minister wearing a black belt standing there, looking up into the distance.

A plum blossom fell on his shoulder.

Reiko raised her foot, wanting to walk in and have a look at the face of the gentleman, but unexpectedly, her foot stepped on the ground, and a strong sense of weightlessness followed.

When Reiko opened her eyes again, she found that she was lying on the couch, and the sky outside the window was already bright.

After Seimei and Reiko solved the incident of the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon, their life returned to peace, but Yinyangliao was in dire straits at this time.

One of the reasons is, of course, that Fujiwara's people were attacked by lightning again.

The person who was attacked this time was Fujiwara Sakui, a very skilled chess player.

In order to compete for the title of "No. [-] Chess Player", he will compete with Sugawara Kentada in front of the emperor next month, betting on the pride of a chess player.

In order to go all out, Fujiwara Sawei studied chess under the tree every day, and he didn't know it when the thunderstorm came.Unexpectedly, a bolt of lightning hit the tree near Zuo Wei, and even he himself was hit by Chi Yu, and he is still unconscious.

Originally, this was just an ordinary accident, but it happened that Zuowei was a member of the Fujiwara family, and the object of his competition was the descendant of the wraith Sugawara Michizane.

All the coincidences became inevitable, and the Fujiwara family finally reached the point where everyone was in danger. They kept putting pressure on the Onmyoji, which made the Onmyoji complain endlessly.

How can things that have not been resolved for decades be so easy to deal with?

No, He Mao Baoxian rode a cat and came to Qingming to complain to him.

"I have already gone to look under the tree where the Fujiwara chess player was struck by lightning. There is no complaint there. It was just a simple accident, including the fire in the house before. It was also an accident, but the emperor and the people of the Fujiwara family did not believe it at all." Bao Xian drank the tea brought by the virgin, with a bitter look on his face.

"The people who were originally related to Sugawara Michizane are almost dead, and Sugawara Michizane's resentment has also been subsided to a certain extent. I am afraid that if I continue to speculate like this, it will rekindle the bad memories of the resentful spirit."

After all, Sugawara Michizane's own death was caused by Fujiwara Tokihei's deliberate framing, and this lightning strike incident also pushed the unwarranted charges on Michizane, whether it will anger Michizane's wraith, no one can say for sure .

Once the concerns of constitutional protection are realized, it is by no means as simple as getting hurt and destroying some houses.

Qingming knocked on the stone table with her fan: "Since you still have time to drink tea with me, you must have a solution."

Bao Xian put aside the bitter expression just now, and resumed his playful smile: "We can't hide anything from you, we do have some ideas."

"You also know that I'm not good at hands-on, so after the incident, I checked the information in Yin Yang Liao, and found that similar wraiths appeared in the past. When human beings have nothing to do with these powerful wraiths, they often make compromises , that is... Fengshen!"

God is really cheap.

Qingming narrowed his eyes and mocked in his heart.

"Gods are created in people's wishes, but for a vengeful spirit like Sugawara Michizane, in addition to people's approval, he can become a god with his own consent, so that he can wash away the grievances on his body through the power of incense and fire. So, Seimei ..."

As he spoke, He Mao Baoxian showed a flattering look on his face.

"Is there no one in the Yinyang House?" Qingming glanced at Baoxian lightly.

"Of course there are, but how many abilities are comparable to yours? How can those onmyojis who are addicted to power have time to study onmyoji? At most, they can get rid of little demons." Bao Xian shook his head and sighed.

Rather than working for those big shots, Seimei prefers to walk the streets and alleys with Reiko to learn about the stories of those little monsters.However, Senior Brother Bao Xian found him on the head even though he knew he didn't want to make a move, which is enough to show that the current Yin Yang Liao really has no one to take out.

"Okay, I'll take it."

He Mao Baoxian left soon. Since Qingming agreed, the matter would be resolved smoothly. Baoxian trusted Qingming's ability.

So he has to go back to Yinyangliao to plan the ceremony of conferring the gods, and design an opportunity for conferring the gods that can be accepted by everyone.

The cherry blossoms in the courtyard had been sparsely shed due to the long-term rain, and began to grow leaves one after another. Reiko sat next to Qingming with the fluffy Xiaobai in her arms: "Are you worried about the Wraith?"

"It's okay, it will be resolved." Seimei frowned, not wanting her emotions to affect Reiko.

Although Reiko may be better at negotiating with resentful spirits, Seimei doesn't want Reiko to take the risk to go with him, he is not 100% sure that he can protect Reiko well.

"Of course it will be solved! But I didn't expect that the famous God of Learning would come like this! It's really amazing."

In this era, Michi Sugawara was really a terrible vengeful spirit, but in Reiko's era, he was a great god.

When it comes to the exam season, countless students and parents take over the wooden painted horses and write small wishes on them.

[I hope I can be admitted to a good university. ]

[Come on for the high school entrance examination! ]

[To be the top three in the class~]

There are even some girls who will secretly write down their wishes such as "I hope I can confess my success to xx senior" with a youthful and pure heart.

Whenever this happens, Reiko always thinks that the gods are really hard-working existences.

A god with many believers, like the God of Learning, worries every day about whose wish should be fulfilled first; while a forgotten and dying god like Lushen, who is about to disappear, feels sad for not being able to fulfill the wishes of others.

But whether it is a god like the God of Learning or a god like Lushen, they must be very, very happy at the moment when someone else's wish is fulfilled.

Therefore, even if there was only one believer left, Lushen refused to leave.

"God of learning?" Seimei was puzzled.

"That's right. In my time, Daozhen was a very famous god of learning, and some people called him a god. I think, since Daozhen can become such a popular god, there must be a very gentle soul in his soul." The place."

While talking, Reiko seemed to think of something: "By the way, I remember that I also saw Seimei's shrine. Will Seimei become a god after a thousand years?"

Qingming shook her head amusedly: "It is absolutely impossible for me to be a god."

Because Seimei can see clearly, Seimei can't have awe of the existence called "God".

After all... if he wanted to, there would be as many gods as there were.

Gods are born from human wishes, so in theory, as long as Seimei makes a wish, a god can be born for him, but he has never tried to do such a boring thing.

"I think so too!" Reiko smiled happily.

It is too pitiful to be a god. Life is maintained by human beliefs, and freedom is bound by human desires. It is obviously a god, but it has to serve human beings. What a sad existence.

Even so, even if they are betrayed and forgotten by humans, there are still countless gods like Lushen, who look at the world with compassion and peace from beginning to end, born with a smile, and disappear with a smile.

Reiko couldn't understand that kind of heart, but it was precisely because she couldn't understand that it made God even more great.

Seimei and Reiko have completely different views on gods, but neither of them wants to be a god, one looks down on it, and the other cannot do it.

So, does Sugawara Michizane want to become a god?

Sugawara Michizane was framed for rebellion by Fujiwara Shihei, who was also an important minister. Emperor Suzaku exiled him to Dazaifu in Kyushu, and ordered that no family member be allowed to accompany him.

All the way to Kyushu, Michizane Sugawara didn't know what mistake he had made, how the old man in his [-]s could bear this kind of blow, and Michizane Sugawara passed away within a few days in Kyushu.

But Fujiwara Tokihei did not let Sugawara Michizane go. On the way Michizane was transported back to Heiankyo together, Fujiwara Tokihei sent people to destroy the ox cart, making it impossible to move. Falling leaves can't do it.

If Seimei wanted to find Sugawara Michizane, he would probably have to travel far, specifically to Kyushu.

Seimei originally wanted to keep Reiko in Heian-kyo, but seeing her full of interest, she knew that Reiko would probably not agree to stay alone.

But considering Reiko's neat punch when he dealt with the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon... Well, probably as long as he guards against lightning carefully, there will be no problem.

In the past, Seimei didn't go out often, and he didn't have much use for Shikigami's place, and his attitude towards Shikigami was often to let nature take its course.But recently, he found that it would be much more convenient if he could have different types of shikigami—for example, if he could have an oboro now, he could quickly travel between Kyushu and Heian-kyo.

After these things came to an end, Seimei decided to take in some shikigami properly.

But before Seimei decided how to go to Kyushu, an unexpected guest came to the courtyard.

The boy flew to Qingming's side: "Master Qingming, there is a plum demon visiting outside, she said she is the servant of Lord Sugawara Michizane."

Seimei and Reiko looked at each other.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

The author has something to say:
