[Onmyoji + Sword Three] Love at first sight

My name is Ma Cang Ye Ji, which is my original real name as an onmyoji.

The Great Onmyoji who once had a great reputation in Heian-kyo, and now the loser who has fallen into the mud——I am talking about me.

How I got here is a long story.If my life were to be told as a story, it would be a very long story.

The beginning of the story is like many other stories recorded in the books. The helpless little orphan girl met a master who fell from the sky, and was accepted as a disciple by the master, taught carefully, studied hard, In the end, success and fame are boundless.

Usually the story will end here, so this is a complete story.It's a pity that life is not like this. I did follow the order of the story step by step in the first few years, but when I reached the peak, my life was only a part of it.

Still far from the finale.

I was born in a deserted village and lived with my mother, Asanoba.The first picture in my memory is the gentle smile on my mother's face when she looked at me.

The people here are simple and ignorant, but my mother was intoxicated by this so-called simplicity. When she was pregnant, she resolutely chose to settle here and gave birth to two children, my brother and me.

Mother, brother, me.This is the original group of family members.

no father.

Since I was a child, the person who played this role has never appeared in my memory of those years.

In the past, I was also sad because of it, but after being sad for a long time, I didn't care about it.When I think about my mood at that time when I grow up, in the final analysis, it is just a pursuit of things that I don’t have.

Just like how I feel about my brother.

I don't have much memory of my elder brother who was born with me. I just heard my mother say once that when I was very young, my elder brother died of illness.

So my mother left me alone.

She gave me the name that belonged to her older brother and called me Maya Doji.

I happily accepted the name.

It doesn't matter if I use my brother's name.I am willing to pay any price in exchange for the joy of my mother. If it is just like this, I am very happy to see my mother smile.

Although the days of living with my mother were poor, they were very happy.It's just that such a time doesn't last long.When I was six years old, an onmyoji named Tian Qian came to the local area.I don't know what happened between him and his mother, I just saw the final outcome.

The onmyoji named Tian Qian used the reason that my mother Ma Zhiye often "talks to herself" absurdly concluded that she is a vixen—and those villagers who have lived with their mother for so many years, they Everyone believed it!

Because I happened to go out to pick medicinal materials and prepare to sell them according to the knowledge taught by my former mother, I was not affected by the villagers who were afraid of monsters, but I saw it—the onmyoji, organized the villagers to arrest my mother up.Finally, kill her with fire!

I can't remember exactly what happened afterwards, but the pain of losing my beloved mother nearly broke me.When I came back to my senses, the place was already in ruins.

There is nothing left, whether it is the ignorant villagers, or the hypocritical onmyoji, or the mother who was burned to death.

I vomited blood and fell to my knees in the dirt, and then saw an old man fall from the sky.

To this day, I still can't use words to accurately describe my mood at that moment. If I have to explain it, it is probably a ray of sunshine I saw in the dark clouds all over the sky.

He called himself Xie Yunliu—let me call him Daoist Xie.

Daoist Xie was wearing clothes I didn't understand, and the expression on his face when he looked at me was also kindness that I was unfamiliar with.He told me that he came to see me at the request of my father who had never met and died early, and also told me about my life experience.

I finally know who my father is and why he has never appeared in front of me for so many years.

He has been dead for many years - so naturally he cannot appear in front of me.It is even more impossible to tell me that he is my father, protecting me and my mother from being bullied by others.The only thing he can do for me is to ask Daoist Xie, who is also from Tangtu like him and whom I met by chance, to take care of his wife and daughter.

I think, I really want to understand why she didn't resist when the villagers tied up my mother.

Even laughing.

Mother, do you also want to see father?

Daoist Xie said that I inherited the talent of my parents. The ability to hear the inner thoughts of others that I suddenly developed after the coma of spiritual power runaway was called his Xintong. He said that this ability needs to be learned to control otherwise I will have a very painful life.

Finally he asked me if I would like to follow him as his disciple.

What is there to hesitate about?

I agreed without hesitation, so Daoist Xie took me to a place called Yidaoliu - which opened the door to another world for me.

The days of Yidaoliu were the rare peace and happiness for me after losing my mother. Daoist Xie himself is full of talent and knowledge, whether it is in spiritual power cultivation or secular elegance.Because of my father's honor, I don't need to start as an outer disciple, I can directly follow Daoist Xie to learn knowledge.

Of course, other people can't understand this kind of special treatment, but what does it matter?

I don't care whether it's exclusion or cold treatment.

Those who are not convinced can step on all of them.

As long as Daoist Xie still cares about me, it will be fine.

I will not be like that idiot Minamoto Raimitsu, who thought that after killing Shuten-douji and becoming a general, he began to expect more, and even dared to ask for a competition with Daoist Xie.But he didn't know that comparing his level with Taoist Xie, it was as ridiculous as a drop of water wishing to compare with the sea.That kind of level is just barely enough to catch Daoist Xie's eyes.

He is still far away from being a teacher.

If possible, I would rather stay in Yidaoliu forever, be by Daoist Xie's side, and be his student.

I don't dare to pretend that I am a disciple of Daoist Xie.I have never been a teacher, so where did the title of master and apprentice come from?So no matter how much I long for it in my heart, I just bury it in my heart.

Then, as always, he called Daoist Xie, and said in front of others that he was a student by Daoist Xie's side.

It's just that I still haven't been able to do so after all.

My mother's family found me and said they wanted me to go back, and they were willing to restore my mother's identity and let me use the surname Ma Cang.

I agreed.

Maybe it's because my normal appearance is too misleading. In this matter, others seem to think that I am eager for family affection. Even Yuan Laiguang, who usually likes to compete with me for Daoist Xie's attention the most, did not choose to leave after I chose to leave. Daoist Xie returned to Makang's house and said nothing about me-although the bigger reason was that Yuan Laiguang felt that after I left, I would no longer compete with him for Daoist Xie's attention.

But in fact, this guess is a bit too outrageous.

In the final analysis, what they can give me is not family affection.

And I have long passed the time of longing for family affection.

I have a mother who truly loves me, a father who still misses me even before she dies, and Daoist Xie who has cared for me for so many years and who is like a master like a father in my heart.There are also those fellows of the Yidao style.Why do I still need this kind of verbal affection?

Daoist Xie guessed what I wanted to do, but he didn't say it in the end.

It didn't stop me.

This kind of silence can actually be regarded as connivance to some extent, Daoist Xie?

Later, when everything happened, I thought about it too.If, if, Daoist Xie knew that it was his connivance that made me go further and further down the road called paranoia, if Daoist Xie was still in Dongying at that time, would he have taken the initiative to teach me a lesson and put me from What about pulling back on the wrong path?

However, all ideas can only be hypothetical in the end.

Daoist Xie has already left Dongying and went to Datang.

And, never come back.

Whether I became the best onmyoji in the Ma Cang family, practiced the skills given to me by Daoist Xie countless times, or changed my name to Ma Cang Ye, whatever.The elder I hope to see again will never come back.Even more will not appear in front of me, talk nonsense to me.

I also... can't turn back.

Wanting power, wanting strength, this is the reason why I agreed to go back to Ma Cang's house in the first place.It has been silent for many years and there has been no Onmyoji family with a strong spiritual power. What a good opportunity for me?

Although Taoism is profound and the future is great, but the progress is too slow, far less easy to learn than Yin Yang.I desperately need strength, so even though I know that the future of Taoism is much higher than that of Yin-Yang, and Taoism cultivates immortals, it surpasses the realm of mortals. Go back to Ma Cang's house to learn onmyoji and become an onmyoji.

The Asakura family arranged everything for me, even a teacher.It is of course not easy to invite Chugu Hashige, an onmyoji who directly served the Emperor, to teach me.

I was very touched by the kindness of the Asakura family—then, I rejected this teacher.

No matter what, the only teacher I am willing to admit, who preaches the truth, teaches karma, and solves doubts, is Daoist Xie.

The Ma Cang family was very dissatisfied with my decision, and I suffered a little bit, but for Daoist Xie's sake, they didn't do anything serious.

I am born with powerful spiritual power, and in terms of natural comprehension, there are various foundations laid by Daoist Xie for me.Even without a teacher, I still became a famous great onmyoji in Heian-kyo.Then, it was logical to hold the Ma Cang family in his hands.

This is my first step to realize my idea.

I walked forward step by step, realizing my ideas little by little, and I was very clear about my changes.Countless times, Minamoto Raimitsu scolded me for forgetting the original purpose.I didn't even dare to go back to Yidao Liu, for fear of seeing Daoist Xie's disappointed eyes.Even when Daoist Xie left Dongying in the end, I just hid secretly and watched the old man board the boat and leave.

Then quietly let out a breath.

If Daoist Xie is not around, there will be a few more people I can target.

For example, the person who has been sheltered by Daoist Xie.

What will Daoist Xie think of me when he comes back?

When I had this idea in my mind, I had already taken Li Chongmao's life.Staring at the clean and still fingertips, I just find it ridiculous.

I wiped away all traces by myself, and when I returned to the mansion, I was still the Asakura Yehime who became an onmyoji as a woman and was in charge of the Asakura family.I am a great onmyoji who can compete with the son of the white fox, Abe Seimei, in the Onmyodo, but I am just as comfortable in the officialdom.

Aristocrats compete for power, famine occurs in society, and people suffering from diseases are everywhere.I've had it, so I wanted to do something for them too.This is what I said when I set foot in the officialdom, but my real thoughts are also very simple.

Daoist Xie has already gone back, at least, we can't make Daoist Xie worry.

I said this to Yuan Laiguang, and then relied on the help of these fellow disciples who also admired Daoist Xie to maintain a balance in the officialdom with those who had any thoughts about Datang.

This balance didn't last long, and I'm not suitable for doing these things after all.

The loser is me.

The only thing to be thankful for is probably... I managed to get rid of other people.

And, killing one thousand enemies and harming oneself by eight hundred, it's actually not bad to do this kind of thing occasionally.

During the Heian period, I served as the country's exclusive fortune teller.

I am proficient in pentagrams, have powerful spiritual vision, and lead a shikigami that even ghosts fear. According to rumors, I know all the divination and witchcraft in this world.

Even the highest magic of Yin and Yang, the profound meaning of "When Taishan Fujun" has been mastered by me.

After I died, Abe Seimei, who was as famous as me in Onmyoji but far superior to me in other aspects, said so.

But what is that?After all, I still lost.

Fall flat, that's me.

And not once, but twice.

When I reincarnated for the second time, I thought, this time I will definitely succeed.

However, when I opened my eyes, I forgot all my words and my original goal.

Thank you, Daoist.

I went back to the very beginning, when I first met Daoist Xie.

Although everything is no longer the way I remember it, but I can see Daoist Xie again——

How lucky I am.
