morning dew this life

Chapter 21. twenty-one

Bai Lu woke up from the dream.

With a cold sweat all over his body accompanied by a chill, all the dreams came to an abrupt end.

She gasped for breath, but couldn't stop the trembling of her hands.All the illusions and fantasies in the dream played back in her mind at this moment, and all the blurred figures and names gradually became clear.

It's all Bailu, Eguchi Bailu.

It's her...

She panicked inside, and felt very sad and ridiculous.Secretly envied the "God Judge" so many times, envied her for having such a good Honmaru, such a lovely daughter, and seeing such a gentle expression in the first episode, and also lost many times because she couldn't get over the "substitute" in her heart , I didn't expect to go around in such a big circle, but she was all by herself.

Numbness gradually spread in the limbs and bones, and the revolving lantern scene slowly blurred again.

She was belatedly aware.It turns out that she is no longer from this world...

A powerless and unwilling desolation enveloped her heart, but she didn't even have the strength to pull the corners of her mouth.I really want to meet again, her first issue, her Xiaotou...

"Ah, are you unwilling?"

Bao Liang's female voice seemed to penetrate the ancient chaos and invaded her mind from afar, but she was unable to think or answer.Time has already lost its proper concept, and I don't know how long it has passed, suddenly a ray of light rushed into her body vigorously, dispelling all her confusion.Every part of the body seems to be operating normally in an instant, and the darkness and haze coiled in the heart are also dispelled by a trace of clarity.Bai Lu sat there in disbelief, as if she could vaguely hear her own strong heartbeat.

The next moment after recovering, her body instinctively responded to the surrounding environment and crisis.Bai Lu subconsciously looked at a place not far from her. The faint candlelight and the darkness in the room only made a vague figure appear there, which she couldn't really see.

Looking around calmly, she found that she had been in a completely strange place since she woke up.And the place where she was lying just now didn't seem to be just a bed, she could feel some spell pressing under the quilt——from the reconnaissance You Xiaoluliu.Although she had already guessed the other party's identity, but because she couldn't sense the other party's malice and because there was a huge mystery lingering in her heart, Bai Lu said cautiously and vigilantly, "You..."

"Oh, are you fully awake?" A slightly cheerful voice interrupted the question she had just uttered, and the voice continued, "It seems that this spell is quite useful."

The next second, as the other party clapped their hands to the ground, the lights in the entire room lit up.The harsh light made Bai Lu narrow her eyes uncomfortably, and when she opened them again, the other party was already sitting beside her bed.

"Don't look at me so nervously, I won't eat you." The interrogator I met in Osaka Castle didn't wear a mask this time, and she looked at Bai Lu with a smile on her delicate makeup, spread her hands, and looked after herself Explain, "I'm a good person."

Bai Lu raised her eyebrows with a complex expression, and quietly made a formula with her hands hidden under the quilt.

"You'd better put away your little tricks. Although your mother and I are old acquaintances, I don't have any plans to let you mess around. This is the headquarters of the Time Traveling Army. If you make a fuss here, I won't It’s great to finish the finishing work.” The judge didn’t change his smile, but his words were a bit colder, “Besides, is this how you treat your savior? Just now you were almost backfired by a forbidden technique, and I saved you. I miss you."

Seeing Bai Lu's increasingly vigilant expression, her eyes finally softened. "Forget it... don't scare you, let me tell you in one breath. You were right last time. I am indeed the onmyoji of Tsuchiyamen, and I am an old acquaintance with your mother. The God Judge Project After the beginning, I was also the undercover agent that the Government of Time secretly hid in the Time Traveling Army to gather information." She rolled up her sleeves and said casually, "Your mother was called Kaguya Hime before she got married, and they also gave me one. The title is called Senmian Ji. You must have heard of Senmian Ji from the Tsuchiyamen sect."

Senmian Ji of the Tuyumen school has innate powerful spiritual power and spell control skills, but she always does things as she pleases and doesn't follow the rules.After learning the yin and yang of Tuyumen, he no longer stays in the yin and yang dormitory, but travels around freely and freely with his heart.Her subordinates have recruited a large group of shikigami for her use. When encountering certain incidents that she is interested in, they will let the shikigami come forward to solve them. Anyway, it is considered a good world.Because she has a beautiful face, but still likes to appear in front of people with different masks collected, she has the title of "Qian Mian Ji", which is also called "Kaguya Ji" by You Xiaoluliu. Yin and Yang double wall.Later, because of her erratic whereabouts and lack of marriage or entry into the world, Yinyangliao gradually cut off contact with her, and she didn't know how she lived or died, so she had to be removed from Yinyangliao, leaving only the former Just some legends.

Of course, Bai Lu had heard of such an onmyoji, and after comparing the person in front of her with the legends she had heard, after looking her up and down, she was sure she wasn't lying.While Bai Lu was observing, Qian Mian Ji was also looking at her with a smile on her face, and seeing her frown loosen, she said, "How about it, are you sure I'm not fake?"

"...Are you my mother's friend?" Bai Lu didn't have the nerve to answer her question, but asked hesitantly after thinking about the legendary "Yin and Yang".

Qian Mian Ji rolled her eyes, "My friend... probably so."

"perhaps……?"

"Your mother and I haven't met a few times in total, um... Maybe 'opponent' is more suitable than the term 'friend'?" She thought about it seriously, and finally waved her hand, "Forget it, isn't that right?" important."

Bai Lu didn't know much about her mother and Qianmian Ji from the school next door.She thought for a while, then asked, "Are you a government spy?"

"Spy?" Qianmian Ji didn't expect her to use this word to refer to herself, she shook her head after laughing a few times, "This word has too much meaning, it doesn't suit me. Strictly speaking, I just feel that in-depth contact It’s interesting to look at the ‘dark fallen’ god, and it’s okay to pass the information to the people over there. I don’t work for the government, and I don’t belong to the time-traveling army.”

At this point, she thought about the past and reminded her kindly, "By the way, I just said that you are now at the headquarters of the Time Traveling Army. I asked your mother to send you in. Bring you in." Of course I have my intentions, so don’t ask anything. I’ll take you around later to get acquainted.” Seeing Bai Lu’s puzzled face, as if she wanted to ask something, she stopped her with a smile, “The little girl asked Mrs. Too much is not cute, you just need to know that I have no malice towards you."

"You will thank me in the future. Oh—it's almost time." She stood up, walked to the nearby cabinet, and took out a sticky note from the stacked books in front of Bai Lu.She looked at the writing on it with a smile, and then handed it to Bai Lu. It said something like this - "If you can see it, it means we have succeeded."

"What do you mean...?" Bai Lu handed the note back, as if there were more and more mysteries in her heart.

The nagging Qian Mian Ji fits her status as an onmyoji, "Don't worry, you will understand this in three days."

Putting away the note, she sat next to Bai Lu again, this time with a more solemn look, "Since you just realized that 'Eguchi Bailu' is dead, the curse cast on you by Kaguya Ji You will die soon. Luckily, you Xiaoluliu and Tuyumenliu have the same origin. As for the spells of your school, our school will also have corresponding spells to suppress them. Just now I suppressed the spell on your body so that you would not be swallowed by it soon, but that does not mean that you will not die, the backlash of the spell is still going on, I just let it slow down some—so from now on, you have a month to live."

As soon as Qianmianji flipped her hands over, a map slowly unfolded in front of Bai Lu like a scroll. Seeing the change in Bai Lu's expression, she smiled contentedly, "I want to keep you here for three days, and you must stay here for three days. You must memorize everything in this map. You must also familiarize yourself with the various methods from the present world and the front line."

Bai Lu frowned, listening to her series of statements in disbelief, it took her a long time to recover, "Your purpose..."

"Purpose?" Qianmianji muttered, "There is no purpose, I just know that your mother wants to save you, and I think it's very interesting, so I will help her."

"Save me...?" Bai Lu's lip-biting expression once again betrayed her inner thoughts, and Qian Mian Ji almost lost her temper, "Yeah, if I don't save you, why did I intervene when the spell backfired just now? Let you fend for yourself."

This is probably the time when Qianmianji has the best temper and the most sincere speech since she came to this world.Bai Lu pursed her lips, "Perhaps you want to see my painful expression when I face my few lives?"

Qian Mian Ji choked, and she swore that if she hadn't liked Bai Lu's unique yin and yang power and the once-in-a-century son of a demigod, she would never have cared about this matter again.She took a deep breath and calmed down, "I don't want to waste half of my life doing things that sound boring."

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Bai Lu would bother her, so she simply waved her hand, "Don't ask, it's so annoying. You really aren't as cute as your daughter at all."

Bai Lu raised her heart just now, she couldn't believe it, "Xiao Tou? Is Xiao Tou here too?!"

"Hmm." Senmian Ji nodded while propping her head, "I was sent here by Kaguya Hime together with you. The little girl is quite well-behaved. I asked Shikigami to take her out to play for a while."

"You also said that this is the headquarters of the Time Traveling Army...all of them are Fu Sangshen who have fallen from the dark, and Xiao Tou is the son of a demigod!"

The sudden outburst of anger startled Qian Mianji, she moved her lips, just in time there was a light knock on the door, she simply motioned for them to come in.Shikigami led a small dark shadow into the room, seeing that Bai Lu had already sat up, the little shadow was about to pounce on him.Shikigami hastily tore off the covering on her body, and lightly carried it in his hand. It was a bony spur jacket worn by the enemy's short swords when they came out of battle.

And when the little black shadow appeared, Bai Lu knew it was Xiao Tou.Seeing Shikigami grabbing her jacket and not letting go, Bai Lu panicked, fearing that Xiao Tou would be hurt, so she stumbled over and pulled Xiao Tou into her arms.

"Hey, did you recover your strength so quickly?" Qianmianji showed a little surprise, but it was quickly covered up. She propped her chin on the ground and tilted her head. This kid is going out, I'll be your half-senior anyway, please give me a little honorific."

"..." The moment she hugged Xiao Tou into her arms, Bai Lu calmed down.Hearing what Qianmianji said again, she felt a little embarrassed.Thinking that she was indeed too impatient, she took a deep breath and apologized neatly.

Fortunately, Qianmianji just said it casually, and didn't really take it to heart.She stood up, stretched her waist, and said lazily, "I just survived two mutually restraining spells, and I can use my own power to drive every joint of my body so quickly... It's worthy of maternal love." Is it great?" Looking at Bai Lu's frown that was about to frown and the cautious gaze of the son of the demigod, she decided not to tease them anymore.

Shouting Shikigami to pick up the camouflage coat, walked over and pinched Xiao Tou's face, "Mom already knows everything." She said to Xiao Tou with a smile like this, and then strode out wisely, "Let's go, let's leave space for you, I'll call you for dinner again at noon."

The lattice door was gently pulled shut, and after watching them leave, Bai Lu loosened her arms around Xiao Tou.Just about to ask her if she was bullied or injured here, she didn't expect that a few small puddles suddenly appeared on the floor, which made her panic.

Xiao Tou blinked tears, wiped and asked, "...Mom?"

"Ok!"

"...you know everything?"

Bai Lu wiped her tears over and over again, feeling extremely distressed.It turned out that in a corner she didn't know, everyone was bearing the sadness caused by her.Thinking about Xiao Tou's previous performances of being so clingy to her, it's not hard to figure it out. In fact, this child already knew everything.In addition to complaining about the first issue, there is more distress for the little baby.Her movements became much lighter, and her words were gentle, "I know..."

"Mom!" Xiao Tou threw himself into her arms and cried loudly.Bai Lu hugged her tightly, feeling that the flesh and blood connected with her, the little life she desperately exchanged for, was in her arms, so healthy and safe.Tears also slowly fell down.

This time, he finally uttered that sentence.

***

Even at the beginning, Bai Lu didn't trust Qian Mian Ji's words very much. At most, she was forced to choose the only option out of helplessness and unfavorable circumstances. But after three days of getting along, She found that she quite liked Qianmianji's character and characteristics—it was the kind of onmyoji she had been longing for before she became a spiritual examiner.

Therefore, even though she didn't understand why she had to memorize the map by herself, and she didn't understand why she had to teach herself to combine the spells of Tuyumen Style and Kanjie Youxiaolu Liu, Bai Lu still chose to believe her and do it seriously. down.

Three days passed in a flash, and Qianmian Ji accepted the results of these days with satisfaction, and then gave affirmation, "It's ok, you go back."

She took out a sticky note, wrote a line of words on it, handed it to Bai Lu and shook it twice, "Do you remember this?"

Bai Lu nodded because she didn't understand, but Qian Mian Ji smiled and didn't answer, just pressed the sticky note into a few books.

It was also at this time that she revealed several answers to the mystery.

With the chanting of a long series of mantras, the surrounding scenery is changing rapidly.The bookcases that had been organized were shuffled and dusty, and the flowers that fell from the vases returned to the branches. Light and shadow interweave in this small space, forming a time-traveling space.After the sun rose and the moon set three times, the time returned to three days ago.

She reached out her hand to stop Bai Lu's question, and only carefully lifted the book up, and then laughed when she saw that the sticky note pressed inside was intact.

——If you see it, we made it.

"Successful." She shook the note with a smile, folded it into her sleeve, and then said, "This is a small experiment that turns back time but keeps something constant."

"Why do you want to do this?"

"Hmm... For example, "I" just sent this note back to three days ago, and for example, you and Xiao Tou still have the memories of these three days, time has washed everything except these things, how good— —Forget it, I can’t explain it clearly now, I’ll talk about it later when I have a chance.”

Qianmianji smiled, and casually skipped the topic, "Now you can go back, you still have a month to live, not even a second."

"You have to memorize the maps I asked you to write down and the spells I taught you. It's not suitable to tell you why you did this, but you can use the last month of your life to do what you should do thing."

"In addition to the wish you want to fulfill, you also have a mission that must be fulfilled."

"Ah, that's right. Let me tell you again, after you go to Honmaru, do you dream about what you have experienced before? Well, yes, I did it. It's just replaying your memory that was sealed by the spell It's just one time, so for the next month, you can have a good rest."

"Well, that's all for now. See you later."

Qianmianji, who did whatever she wanted, ordered Shikigami to take their mother and daughter out, and at the same time called her own Fusangshen, "Drive back the god-inspector who came to surrender, and tell her that we don't care about arrogant people here. Weak chicken."

The word "surrender" only slightly attracted Bai Lu's attention, but soon, she put the matter behind her.

Senmian Ji's shikigami is completely different from her master's, and she is very strict and serious.After dutifully leading the mother and daughter to the place where the teleportation array was set up, I prepared to watch them leave before going back to report.

Bai Lu took Xiao Tou by the hand, and after thanking her, she was about to step into the formation when suddenly there was a loud human voice behind her, which she still heard quite familiar.Looking back, there was no one in sight.

The author has something to say:
