[Onmyoji] There are fox sui sui

Without further ado, Ah Xuan saw that the time was almost up, so she picked up the thick stack of books and walked to the door of the study.

Just approaching the study room, a shadow appeared out of nowhere, and instantly changed from an illusion to a reality, turning into a woman in a white kimono with a mask on her face.

Shikigami has no face, can't see the expression, and even the voice is flat until there is no fluctuation.

"Master Yuan, please give me the book."

it is as expected.

It was this shikigami who handed the book to her when she came. Now that she is about to leave, she returns the book through it. This should be the shikigami who manages the books.

"Well, then I will give them to you. I have learned a lot from these books. Please thank Mr. Abe for me."

If you just give the book to it, you won't be able to enter Abe Seimei's study, and this trip can be said to be fruitless.

Gotta figure out a way to get in.

"You are a distinguished guest of Master Qingming, so you don't need to thank you."

"How could it be? If it weren't for Mr. Abe, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the chance to read these books, but..." Ah Chen put away her smile and looked distressed, "I'm really excited to learn this knowledge. I can’t be allowed to go in and pick a few copies to go home and have a look, and return them tomorrow.”

Exactly like I love learning and learning makes me happy.

Then pleaded in a low voice: "Although I know that the books Mr. Abe chose are definitely more suitable for me who has no experience, but I just want to find some anecdotes and strange things to learn about."

The reason she dared to say this was because she was now a guest, a student, not someone who conspired against the law, and Shikigami would not reject her forcefully.

Even if you are really rejected, it doesn't matter, just look for another opportunity in the future, and the future will last forever.

"If you ask so, it's not impossible, please come in."

Abe Seimei did not issue an order to Shikigami to reject Ah Kai's request, and Yuan Boya and the others usually went in.

Moreover, most of the books that record spells in the study are spellbound, and they cannot be easily read. What can be read are some collections of poetry, prose, policy theory, and some common spells that are not offensive.

Ah Xuan also knew that there would definitely be nothing in it that she couldn't see, and even if there was, it would be locked so that she couldn't see it, but what she wanted to see wasn't something she couldn't understand at all.

After getting permission, he nodded slightly and pushed the door open.

As soon as he entered the door, Ah Chen was amazed by Abe Seimei's rich collection of books. There were books everywhere, and even the entire four walls were used as bookcases.

You must know that the first requirement of an onmyoji is extensive knowledge and memorization. A reckless man who only understands force cannot become an excellent onmyoji, no matter how powerful he is.This is also the reason why the number of official onmyojis is scarce, and it also leads to a serious shortage of manpower. Nowadays, most of the active onmyoji apprentices are apprentices of onmyojis.

But even so, this is too exaggerated!This level of collection of books is probably not inferior to that of Yinyangliao's Book Collection Pavilion. Where should it be called a study, it is more appropriate to call it a library...

If Abe Seimei can master all the books here, this person is really terrifying.

But if he can't even do this, it's impossible for him to become such a powerful Onmyoji.

The brief surprise did not make Ah Chen forget her purpose. Although she admired Abe Seimei to a certain extent, the most urgent thing at the moment was to determine whether Kuro Seimei existed.

She turned directly to Abe Seimei's desk, without even looking at the books that were extremely precious in the eyes of outsiders.

To judge a person, of course, the more familiar the better, but she can be said to know nothing about Abe Seimei himself, and she has no way to start.

If you want to find what Abe Seimei prefers in these bookshelves, unless you are familiar with it to the extreme, it is completely a fantasy.Even if she is lucky and gets it right, she may not be able to see it.

Thinking about it this way, it might as well give up this road and go directly to the book that Abe Seimei put on the desk. Since it is readily available, he should read it more often than other books. As long as he reads it, he will definitely read it. Leave some traces.

And these tiny traces might become the key to Ah Xuan's judgment!

Abe Seimei is usually very busy with official duties, and it is said that he does not even go home many times, so there are not many books on his desk.

Ah Xie didn't dare to waste time, so she opened the books one by one to read.

Story books, biographies, copybooks...

This guy has covered a lot, but as expected, he doesn't have any important books.

Hey, this book is...

What caught her eyes was a book she was extremely familiar with, even her name was derived from it, and the big tengu had deliberately taught her back then.

It is "Book of Songs".

The "Book of Songs", also known as the Three Hundred Poems, records 305 poems in China from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period. It was written by the government and collected by the people. It has a profound influence on later generations and is highly respected even in Japan.

If it's this book, Ah Xuan should be able to find something different given how familiar she is with it.

Each of the [-] poems is different. Although the scope is narrowed, it is not easy to find what you need. Ah Ling did not choose to open the search, but directly adopted a more convenient method.

There are many contents in a book, and it is impossible for people to like every article.If you don't agree, if you don't care, you will flip through it hastily, and if you win your heart, you will read more.

And if one or several pages are read many times, an ink line will be left at the corresponding position on the side of the book, which is darker than the surrounding pages.

This is just a little common sense, and many people don't notice it.

However, as long as you use this method, you can easily see which articles Abe Seimei usually prefers.

Turning the book upside down, Ah Xie saw what she wanted to see, followed the ink lines to turn the page, and took a closer look.

This look startled her, and she felt her scalp go numb for a while.

"Xiangshu", "Fatalwood", "Lamb Fur".

These are the three articles Ah Xuan just saw.

Of these three articles, none of them is meant to praise or celebrate, but all are satirical words.

Among them, "Fatalwood" is called the most realistic work with fighting spirit in "Book of Songs".

And in "Xiangshu" there is even a sentence "Humans are endless, how long will they not die", which translates to "If a person is greedy and unrestrained, what are you waiting for if he is not dead?" rare.

After a long calculation, among the three articles, only the "Lamb Fur" expresses worry, which is somewhat euphemistic, but the meaning in it is also...

After reading these three articles, it is easy to remind people of Mencius's "The Widow of the State", the most famous of which is the last paragraph.

"A dog cannibalizes people and doesn't know how to check it, and if it's painted with hungry weeds but doesn't know how to hair it, and when a person dies, it will say: 'It's not me, it's the age'. also'?"

How is this going?

Does Abe Seimei, the great onmyoji trusted by the nobles, actually have such deep malice towards the nobles?

It's not that Ah Chen doesn't know that the gap between nobles and commoners in this era is like a gap, especially now that monsters are rampant in the world, but the nobles don't care about the life and death of the common people, and gather elite onmyojis in the capital to protect their own safety. Regardless.

At the banquet a while ago, the singing and dancing that Ah Xuan saw was just a way for the nobles to deceive themselves. The country is already in danger, but the rich and powerful are still immersed in the old dream of prosperity and do not want to wake up.

The suffering of the people cannot wake them up, just as no one can wake up a person who pretends to sleep.

But even if she knew this, what could she do?

She is just a woman, in the torrent like an ant on a blade of grass, in the middle of the situation, powerless.

But Abe Seimei is different. He has enough strength and power. As he gains the trust of the nobles day by day, if he wants to do harm, it will be easy.

Although it is true that the nobles are ineffective now, they are the pillars of the country, and the emperor is the god in the hearts of the people. If something happens to them, the country will be completely hopeless!

That's why Ootengu just hunts down evil monsters, Yuan Boya has to choose to adapt to the entertainment he doesn't like and step into the officialdom, and Kamo Baoxian hates trouble but must become a bridge between humans and monsters.

Is this what they want to do?Don't they have the ability to crusade against those corrupt and incompetent nobles?

no.

It's because those people can't die yet.

The people are the cornerstone of the country, which is the water; and the nobles are the beams and the boat.Water can carry a boat or overturn it, but if there is no boat, the people will not be able to find their way and drift with the tide.

Only when the two assist each other, the officials guide the people and the people supervise the officials, can the ship of the country embark on a bright and smooth road.

Therefore, Prince Keming's Mansion can only contribute funds to help some people within the scope of its ability.

What made Ah Kai even more troublesome was what Kagura said about Seimei who made her want to hide.

Maliciousness is not like anything else, it can appear and disappear at will.And once it appears, it may grow crazily to the point where even you can't control it, and no one can predict what it will look like.

Maybe that's Hei Qingming...

Ah Xuan bit her lower lip tightly, terrified by this very possible guess.

Until today, she has had a kind of luck, hoping that Abe Seimei will not become Kuro Seimei, so that not only can the future be reversed, but also the fate of Daitengu, Boya, Kagura and others can be changed.

She is not a saint, she is not selfless enough to save the world, she only wants the people around her to be healthy and happy.

But now, this little luck has been completely dispelled.

So now, what to do?

Tell Boya directly that Seimei Abe will destroy the world in the future?It sounds unreliable. With Abe Seimei's current good image, no one would believe her.

Ahhh, the feeling that she is the only one who knows the big secret but can't spoil it is really bad!

Ah Xuan supported her forehead, feeling deeply distressed.

But thinking about it here is not an option. She restored Abe Seimei's desk, absent-mindedly picked up a few books and left.

……

As the sun set, the afterglow of the sun shone on the slightly old wooden door of the hotel, casting a layer of golden light on it, making it look much newer.

The proprietress in the house directed the handymen to be busy, intending to deal with everything before nightfall, but suddenly heard a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Who?"

The proprietress opened a crack in the door and looked at the people outside.

The person who knocked on the door was a young man wearing a fox mask, with a scroll and scroll on his back, like a scholar traveling in all directions.

Over the years, the proprietress has seen a lot of strange people. The scholar is just wearing a mask, which is not unusual. Besides, the figure of the scholar in the sunset looks innocent and harmless, not like a villain.

Seeing the landlady's scrutiny, the scholar covered his lips with a fan, and smiled politely: "Xiaosheng is a traveler passing by. Seeing that it's getting late, I want to stay here. I wonder if there is any room available?"

The author has something to say: I, obviously, just want to write a simple love essay, why did it become, like now?
