[Onmyoji] The goal is to straighten Ibaraki!

Ten years later—

A red-haired man in black, white and gold armor walks slowly, stepping on layers of leaves. His black ghost feet show a wild look. On the man's head is a long and short black crescent. The horns, the formidable golden pupils in the deep black eye sockets, and two dark patterns on the eyelids.

Ten years have passed since that sacrificial ceremony.

In the first few days, he stayed by the crystal coffin every day, and he didn't even care about his son who was just born. Looking at the lifeless woman lying in the coffin, his heart seemed to be gouged out .

He stood in front of the coffin for a whole four seasons, regardless of the alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter outside the cave, he stood in front of the coffin unshakably. , Don't eat, sleep or rest for a whole year.

People who didn't know thought he was petrified in front of the coffin.

What made Ibaraki Doji rekindle the hope of continuing to live was Abe Seimei, who fell into a deep sleep a year later because of the exhaustion of spiritual power in that battle, and finally woke up. Abe Seimei came in person and brought Xiao Xiaolu's last That recording by Ibaraki Doji.

During this year, both Yasha and Yaohu came to Ibaraki Doji, but no matter what he said to him, he would not listen.In the end, Yasha and Yaohu had no choice but to return to the big house on Kyushu Island with their infant future.

It has to be said that their three godfathers are really more competent than the real father Ibaraki Doji.

After a year, Ibaraki Doji heard the familiar voice again from the MP3, and the softness in his heart instantly collapsed into a puddle of water, and the long-overdue tears poured out. During that time, he kept replaying in his mind the body of Xiao Xiaolu who was hugging a soulless body. He pursed his lips, and couldn't see what kind of expression he had on his face. At that time, he didn't cry.

It should be said that until now, he did not believe that Xiao Xiaolu had left.

Not even a soul could be found.

She just fell asleep, but the sleep was too deep, too deep, so he wanted to guard her here, so that she could see him the first moment she opened her eyes.

He numbs his heart and mind, so that he can't think about anything other than looking at the woman in front of him, don't look at anything else.

He is really an incompetent husband and an incompetent father. He did not protect his wife well, and now his son is also being taken care of by Yasha and the others.

Jiu Tun-douji told him, "This is Xiaolu's own choice, how can you be worthy of her sacrifice if you are so depressed?"

He heard it and understood the truth, but his feet seemed to be rooted, and he couldn't move at all.

Guidie also came to persuade him, "Don't forget that you still have a future, he is the only existence in this world that connects you and Xiaolu, and now Yasha and the others are taking care of the future, in the house where you and Xiaolu lived in Kyushu Island Here, if you are connected, go and meet the future, you are his biological father."

When I heard the name of the future, Ibaraki Doji was touched, but it was not enough. When he was in Dajiangshan, he heard the mob who came back say that when Xiaolu gave birth to him a son, he was How happy and excited.

But this time, the person who came was Abe Seimei. He hated Abe Seimei because he allowed Xiao Xiaolu's sacrifice and even participated in this plan. He was also one of the murderers who murdered Xiao Xiaolu!

Gui Die is also a participant, but after all, she has saved her life, and after Xiao Xiaolu closed her eyes, he has been guarding this place every step of the way, whether it is regret or resentment, he regrets When I left at the beginning, I didn't protect her well. Why is it like this every time?

Every time... when she needed him the most, he left her side.

In the end, all the hatred turned into sadness and loneliness, as if it could freeze the air in the entire cave.

The arrival of Abe Seimei brought the last words of Xiao Xiaolu left in this world to Ibaraki Doji. Her voice echoed in the cave over and over again through MP3. Ibaraki Doji looked at the woman lying in the crystal coffin. With a beautiful face, she finally knelt on the ground with her knees, and the tears of heartache could no longer be restrained from flowing out.

A heart-piercing roar came from the cave, like the roar of a wild beast, resounding throughout the entire Dajiang Mountain.

Shuten-douji hugged Akiba in his arms, and looked into the distance. He looked at the same worried Akiba comfortingly. He knew that it was Ibaraki-douji's roar. He... finally figured it out.

After a year, Ibaraki Doji finally stepped out of this cave. The dazzling light outside the cave made him squint his eyes. The moment he closed his eyes, it seemed that the battle and sacrifice from a year ago appeared before his eyes again. .

Together, he and Shuten-douji failed to break through the obstruction of Tsukiyomi God. Finally, he awakened and forcibly increased his demon power to break through. But when he arrived, Xiao Xiaolu had already been put on the sacrificial charm, Floating upwards along the circle of formation on the ground, she heard her loud shout, turned her head to look at him, and smiled at him.

She said, "It's so beautiful, redhead... don't cry."

Even though she couldn't hear her final voice, it could be read from the shape of her mouth, that's what she said.

A strong light pierced the sky and pierced Xiao Xiaolu's body from above, and then she saw a translucent thing jump out of her body and flew upwards, while her body lost all power and fell downwards fall.

Ibaraki Doji hurried over and caught the woman's body that had fallen from the sky. He hugged the body that had lost its soul tightly. It was as if his heart had been hollowed out at that moment. No sound could be made from his throat, and the sadness spread to All over, masking the resentment, she said "don't cry", so he didn't cry.

I don't know how long it took, Ibaraki Doji heard the sound of people fighting with Yamata no Orochi, and the shaking of the earth did not affect him in the slightest, picked up Xiao Xiaolu's body, and left this place of right and wrong.

As for what happened in the subsequent battle, he learned about it from Shuten-douji and the others, but he didn't care at all. No one told him, where did Xiao Xiaolu's soul go?How much is the possibility of returning? Abe Seimei later told him that Susano told him that Xiao Xiaolu's soul was only lodged on the Kusanagi sword and did not disappear, but the Kusanagi sword is now regarded as a godsend , enshrined in the palace of the emperor, since ancient times, monsters have known that the palace is guarded by the gods of the palace, so it can isolate all external sensations, and it is also a place where monsters can never set foot.

Even though he is a generation of great monsters, it is very difficult to go to the palace to snatch the Kusanagi sword, and... what they said is right, he still has a future to take care of, the future has been born for a year, he doesn't care, really Is a very incompetent father.

Looking back on this life, when he was a human, he failed very much, and was feared and rejected by the villagers; when he was a monster, he was also unsuccessful, eager to pursue the strong, eager to become strong, but he was still defeated by humans several times .

As a woman's husband, he is incompetent. He abandons her every time because of the so-called brotherhood. He clearly promised to protect her forever, but in the end he still failed to protect her and watched her helplessly. Die in front of yourself.

As the father of a child, he is even more incompetent. Because of the pain in his heart, he was afraid to face the child, so he left him alone for a whole year.

Whether it is a human or a demon, it really is only when they are finally lost that they know how to cherish them. He has already lost Xiaolu, and now he does not want to lose their future as well.

In the recording, she said, let him wait for her, and she will definitely come back, no matter how long it takes, so Ibaraki Doji is willing to believe what she said, and he will always wait for her to come back with the future in mind.

In the past ten years, he has mainly lived here in Dajiang Mountain with the future in mind, and placed Xiao Xiaolu's body in the mountain. He will come here for a period of time almost every day, and when he is a few years old in the future, he will start to recognize people and be able to walk and talk When he was young, he often brought the future to this place to visit his mother.

And always tell him, "In the future, you have to remember that your mother didn't do it for this world, she just... wanted to protect us, she stayed here for us, but one day, she will wake up Come here, so by that time, you must try to be a man who makes your mother proud and proud."

Xiao Xiaolu's sacrifice was praised loudly by those human beings, and the priestess clan was born again to benefit the world, but he knew that she would not be so great at all, and she did not care about this kind of glory at all, she only did this for their father and son. sacrifice.

Ibaraki Doji doesn't want Xiao Xiaolu's original intention to be distorted by the world, at least he wants his son to know the truth of the matter and remember how much his mother loves them.

-

With a wave of his hand, Ibaraki Doji immediately dissipated the enchantment casted by demonic power. He stepped in and went to the depths of the cave. The purpose of entering was the crystal ice coffin. Coupled with his continuous body protection every year, his body can remain unchanged for ten years, just as it was ten years ago.

He approached the ice coffin and was stunned for a moment, Xiaolu's body was gone in the coffin!

Ibaraki Doji immediately took a few steps forward to take a closer look, and it was indeed not there!Neither inside nor outside!There is no human breath in the cave, how could it disappear out of thin air?

Is it...

Not knowing whether his guess was correct, he immediately went to find Shuten-douji and told about this matter. Compared with Ibaraki-douji's excitement and anxiety, Shuten-douji was a little calmer, and he immediately sent his little demons to Manshan went to search.

"Calm down first, can you feel where her soul is?"

"...I can't feel it."

"Although saying this will hurt you, I think Xiaolu has not been resurrected or reborn. You should know that the ghost mark is imprinted on the soul. If the soul is reborn or returns to Xiaolu's body , then you should be able to feel where she is."

Shuten-douji's few words really calmed him down a lot. He was so eager that he even forgot the most basic common sense.

"So where does her body go?"

"..."

Shuten-douji couldn't give him a clear answer to this question. Thinking about it better, it might have been stolen by someone, but who can break the barrier set by Ibaraki-douji, and don't even disturb anyone? What about the body?

Thinking in a bad direction... maybe, her body just disappeared, no longer existing in this world.

Since then, Ibaraki Doji has left Dajiangshan with the future, and traveled around the world to find the possibility of Xiao Xiaolu's existence. By the way, he can also travel with the future, which will open his eyes and give him a certain amount of training.

As a result, in the past few decades, Yasha and Yaohu have been looking for a small future everywhere, but to no avail. Yasha's resentment towards Ibaraki Doji has also accumulated day by day. Anyway, they are all future godfathers. , They are all taken care of by pee and shit, and the little future without a mother is also pitiful, because the little deer man kept talking, so instead of catching a human nanny, they went to find animal milk to feed little future.

The three men who have never been married have to take care of a baby. It is hard to tell how much hardship there is.

The same is true for the little heartless person in the future, who has a real father and forgets about his godfathers, so he really doesn't send them a letter like this, and they don't even know if he is safe now.

Ibaraki-douji left Dajiangshan with the future for about 12 years. Because of his frailty and sickness, Akiha absorbed too much evil energy, and his body couldn't bear it. He passed away, and Shuten-douji returned to his single state.

He was waiting for Qiu Ye's reincarnation, and then reunited with her again.

Finally, Shuten-douji waited for decades, he waited for the reincarnation of Akiba, in this life, she is the daughter of Nagon Ikeda, she is a rich lady like the previous life, but the difference from the previous life is this Once was not the young lady of the downfall family.

But no matter what her identity was, Jiu Tun-douji only recognized her as a woman.

So Shuten-douji met her "ingeniously", and soon they fell in love. Just like Akiba back then, they voluntarily eloped with Shuten-douji and came to Dajiangshan.

But the good times didn't last long. After Ikeda Nakano found out that his daughter was missing, he originally planned to marry her off and get married. Then he found the old Abe Seimei and asked him to divination the ins and outs of the matter.

Only then did I learn that it was Dajiangshan's ghost king Jiutun Tongzi who kidnapped his daughter.

This is how the Mt. Oe River Retreat incident happened. At that time, Ibaraki Doji was taking the future to practice in a distant place, and he didn't know about it at all.

There are rumors in the world that Shuten-douji, the ghost king of Dajiangshan, was beheaded by the human source Laikou. It is said that the prototype of Shuten-douji is a body more than 3 meters long, with fiery red hair, a pair of horns on his head, and a hideous face. monster.

A maid from Ikeda Nagon's mansion, who was rescued from the palace in Mt. Oe, came back and said that the lady had been killed by Shuten-douji.

As Shuten-douji's lieutenant, the extremely ferocious Ibaraki-douji finally lost to Minamoto Yorimitsu and his group, and fled in a panic without knowing where he was going.

There are rumors in the demon world that Jiu Tun-douji did not actually die during the retreat of Dajiang Mountain, he just found a scapegoat for the dead, and then he took his beloved woman and left long ago.

What is the truth?Then I don't know.

The era of great rivers and mountains is over.

Yaohu returned to Tiaotiao's family, Xiaolunan also stayed in Kyushu Island, guarding this empty big house and this land, waiting for them to come back to reunite one day, while Yasha wandered all over the world. ""

Vampire Ji and Banruo also successfully escaped Dajiangshan during the Great Jiangshan World War I and returned to the original town, living a life full of bickering and fun every day.

The snow girl returned to the top of the snow mountain, and the big tengu also returned to the forest of witches to practice in seclusion. He planned not to come out again for hundreds of years.

At the same time, Xiao Xiaolu's soul is no longer in the Kusanagi sword enshrined in the palace as a magic sword, so where did her soul and body go?

In the 21st century, a thousand years after the Heian-kyo era——

When Xiao Xiaolu opened her eyes with some difficulty and saw the white ceiling that she hadn't seen for a long time, she hadn't realized what happened.

Her consciousness is still a little empty now.

"Oh my god! Honey, what are you doing lying on the ground? You really know how to play!" A female voice suddenly sounded from the side, and Xiao Xiaolu turned her head to look over in response.

"Oranges?" she said.

"What are you doing? I just left for a few minutes. What's wrong with your face that you don't recognize me? Sister, I left something behind." Of course Xiao Xiaolu recognizes her, she is her best friend, Xiao Xiaolu always calls her nicknames "orange".

"Leaving... for a few minutes?"

"Well, didn't you just say that you were going to continue dancing for a while before going back? Did something happen? Look at your distraught expression. You were lying on the floor just now. Are you too tired? Why don't you go early today go home?"

"Ah."

She remembered, she still remembered that gorgeous red hair in her mind, Xiao Xiaolu stood up, looked around, she really came back, wasn't she dreaming?

Xiao Xiaolu pinched herself, it was very painful, it was really not a dream, just now Cheng Zi said it was only a few minutes, could it be...was she actually having a dream?If it is really a dream, then this dream is too real.

It's so real... my heart hurts.

She looked down and saw the mobile phone lying quietly on the floor. She picked it up and opened the screen. Because the screen was cut off before, when she opened it again, the words "Netease Games" on a white background appeared. The animation of the game production company.

My fingertips were trembling, I logged into my account, entered the game, and clicked on Shikigami, nothing changed, not a single SSR, all of this was just a dream.

Xiao Xiaolu saw that there were exactly 100 Gouyu on it, she didn't know what kind of mentality she had, she clicked on the summoning interface, and threw out a black talisman, she pressed the talisman interface, and didn't let go for a long time. What is better to write, she hesitated for a long time, until the orange next to her reminded her, she slowed down, just clicked a point, and threw it out.

As a result, a miracle happened like this.

Seeing this familiar face, her eye sockets couldn't help but quickly moistened at that moment, she knelt down on the floor holding her phone in pain, Chengzi saw Xiao Xiaolu's reaction so strongly, and leaned over to see the SSR level on the summoning interface Ibaraki Doji.

Chengzi shouted excitedly, "Xiaolu, you've become European! It's a miracle to draw a single one! Hey... Let me tell you what's wrong with you? You won't be crying out of excitement, right?"

Tears poured out uncontrollably, just because seeing this face made my heart ache like a knife.

For the next few days, Xiao Xiaolu stayed in her room, not knowing what to do, and often looked at the picture of Ibaraki Doji for a whole day, she thought, this is really not a dream, because her MP3 is gone, Although her clothes were still intact, if it was a dream, then the MP3 player in her trouser pocket should be there, so it wouldn't disappear after lying on the floor and sleeping for a few minutes.

And the most important thing is that there is a fiery red mark on the inside of her wrist, which is the mark branded on her by Ibaraki Doji.

But except for Xiao Xiaolu, no one around her could see this mark.

Friends around Xiao Xiaolu felt that Xiao Xiaolu had changed a lot, she had changed from a chatterbox to a diving party after she hadn't seen her for a few days.

Chengzi saw that Xiao Xiaolu had been nesting in her room for the past few days, and she was about to get moldy. Uncles and aunts didn't know what was wrong with her, so they asked her and didn't say anything, and finally persuaded her for a long time. In order not to worry her parents, Xiao Xiaolu Still agreed to go out shopping with Orange to relax.

Just as she was passing by a small alley, Xiao Xiaolu's heart trembled suddenly, as if she had sensed something, she suddenly turned her head to look over.

……Nothing at all.

Cheng Zi was still waving at her in front, and entered a clothing store first, Xiao Xiaolu also walked towards that store, at this moment, a little boy ran over from the side and hugged her waist, the little boy He looked like a primary school student.

Xiao Xiaolu lowered her head and rubbed the little boy's hair, "Little friend, are you lost?"

"mom!"

"Huh?" Xiao Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, looking at the little boy looking up at her, with a pair of big watery eyes on his fair and immature face, his short black hair was soft to the touch, his eyebrows looked familiar, "Little friend, I'm not your mother, you've got the wrong person."

"You are my mother, I will not admit it wrong, my father took me to see what my mother looks like, and my father said that there is a mark on my mother's wrist!" Said, the little boy went to pull Xiao Xiaolu's wrist.

The fiery red mark was exposed to the air, making her eyes sore and want to cry again, Xiao Xiaolu stared at the little boy in shock, and said, "You just said... the mark? How did you know..."

She thought, maybe she already had the answer in her heart.

"Mom, I am the future. Dad said that you gave me this name because I am the future of you and Dad!"

Mirai held Xiao Xiaolu's hand and forced her to turn around and look over. It turned out that the tall figure standing not far behind her was Ibaraki Doji, but at this time he had already successfully integrated with the modern times, wearing With the current clothes removed, the horns on the head were removed, and the white hair had already turned into the usual short black hair reaching the ears, which made her look extraordinarily stalwart.

Xiao Xiaolu always thought that she just traveled into a game, but it turns out...it's not just a game.

"It's been a long time, Ibaraki."

"Well, I finally waited for you."

The author has something to say: [Small Theater ①]

Xiaolu: Why do our dumplings still look like elementary school students after so many years?

Xiaolu: It's really not my fault, it's all the author's fault for making such an arrangement, she is the FFF group and it's hard to see heterosexuality!

Ibaraki: Well, what you say is what you say.

Xiaolu: Speaking of which, how are Shuten-douji and Akiba doing now?Is Dajiangshan's retreat really...?

Ibaraki: They are all fine. Shuten-douji is now in Japan. I followed the guidance of the mark of the ghost and came all the way to China.

Ibaraki suddenly took out a few elementary school Chinese textbooks, and his whole body exuded a dazzling light.
