I accidentally died yesterday [comprehensive]

The moon is in the sky.

The whole village seemed to be soaked in mercury.

Terribly quiet.

The wounded soldier who was moaning next door lost his voice, and only the old man was left kicking and walking on the street, like a living corpse.

Ma Cangye Wang turned around and walked to the window, and propped up the window sash with a thin bamboo pole.

creak.

The sound is subtle.

It was like a cry in the silent night.

The old man turned his head in a hurry, his eyes were gloomy and terrifying, and there was no trace of popularity in them.

They smelled like living corpses and walked towards the house.

Ma Cang Ye Wen flicked out a ray of fire, burning these old people like living stones.

Some rotten smell wafted out, carrying a flood of damp water vapor.

Zilala.

"Afraid of fire."

"But not afraid of light."

King Ma Cang Ye closed his eyes.

"Before they died, these people sat under the eaves to enjoy the shade, and some were spinning and drying grain."

"Their hearts were filled with sorrow and pain."

"After that."

"A flood of water."

"Flash floods destroyed the village."

"They died in pain with resentment."

He opened his eyes and asked Heichuan, "What about you?"

Kurokawa: "You have finished explaining the cause of death."

Ye Wang: "Oh, did you admit defeat?"

Kurokawa: "The scene I saw was different from yours."

Ye Wang: "What is it?"

Kurokawa: "Water area."

"All houses and people are submerged under water."

"The limbs, body, and face are all swollen and purple, and the rot is moving through the body."

"The small carnivorous fish drilled in by biting the cheek meat, and then drilled out from the abdomen."

"It's a natural maze."

Kurokawa met the face of an old man.

There was nothing in those long-dead eyes.

King Ma Cang Ye has already stated most of the reasons.

This is a small village perched in a valley. It is worrying about the food collection. The men are working outside, and the women are weaving at home to make up for the tax. Then a flash flood washes away the entire village, and everyone is soaked in the water. Rotten and stinking.

A collection of persistent grievances.

This piece of ghosts and creatures was formed.

Ye Wang: "I will use fire to destroy them."

"A fire as strong as the sun."

"And you."

Kurokawa: "Well... I haven't thought about it."

"If it wasn't for that young master."

He slightly turned his head to look at the room, the young nobleman was in love with that country girl - because the country girl didn't have a name that could be called, the young master named her Lingxi.

"I may never come here in my life."

Ye Wang: "But you are here."

Kurokawa asked: "What does this represent?"

Kurokawa: "There are many strange things in this world, and there are also many strange people. There is no need to worry about the past one by one."

"Pointless."

Just as it is impossible for a human being to read all the books and movies in the world, it is impossible for him to solve all the things he does not like, so he has to learn to take a breath like sweeping away the dust in his heart to pretend to be happy. Nothing happened.

Like this village.

Kurokawa could do his best to be as indifferent as possible to them, as if he had never been here before.

Of course, he couldn't control what Ye Wang did.

So he nodded, sat down at the table and began to sleep on his stomach.

——Although the village head gave the quilt.

But still a bit too dirty.

Ye Wang condensed a small flame to burn out the wraiths on the street, and then occupied the other half of the table out of sight and out of mind, and began to sleep on his stomach like Kurokawa. After sleeping for a long time, Ye Wang suddenly woke up, like him Great Onmyoji, why do you insist on sleeping on the table.

The next morning the retainers woke up shouting louder than a rooster.

Human vitality gradually took over the entire village.

The retainers carried out the wounded one by one and put them on horses, and then their noble boy.

The young noble held Lingxi's hands tightly, and said earnestly: "If you hadn't saved me, I really don't know what to do. I swear, when I return to the capital, I will—"

"Hey."

King Ma Cang Ye suddenly interrupted.

Tell the boy not to continue to swear.

The retainers also spoke out in a hurry, telling the young master that they should leave and stop talking about romantic things.

The young nobleman paused, and glanced impatiently at King Ma Cang Ye and his retainers.

Go on and on.

"...I swear, I will definitely bring you back to the capital and stay with you forever."

This time Ma Cang Ye Wang didn't make a sound.

He took the reins given by his retainers, grabbed the reins indifferently, and mounted the horse.

Ask Kurokawa: "Will you?"

Kurokawa shook his head: "I'll go back by myself."

He looked at the young nobleman.

A black air emerged from the woman named Lingxi, and tightly tied a knot in the heart of the young nobleman.

He looked away.

People are always going to die.

It's just the difference between a moment earlier and a moment later.

Kurokawa didn't go with the big troops, he nodded to everyone, then went to the hiding place and disappeared.

King Ma Cang Ye watched him leave, and his retainers asked beside him, "Can we leave?"

And timidly asked: "Those words the young master said... there shouldn't be any problem."

Ye Wang nodded.

After one kilometer away from the village, he summoned a talisman and shot it at the lost valley village.

A raging fire suddenly landed in the middle of the village.

It burns as quickly as oil and the whole village.

The whole village gradually turned into a cloud of black air.

The unwilling Wraith roared in the air.

King Ma Cang Ye grabbed it and nestled it in his palm.

This thing is called hatred.

……

After returning to Heianjing, the young nobleman reported the operation to the family elders.

"Those bandits are too cunning, if they go on for a long time, they will become a serious disaster."

The elders of the family think about it.

"This group of bandits not only threatens our family's livelihood, but also shouldn't be borne by our family. Other families should contribute more or less."

"Let's discuss it and discuss it later."

When Kurokawa was at work, he heard that bandits were going to be suppressed recently, but after discussions and discussions, everyone agreed to take money from the treasury to pay the bandits, but there was no money in the treasury, and the money was in the hands of the big nobles.

To the noble here.

Robbers are indeed a serious problem.

But they are afraid of the prestige of the great nobles, so they dare not attack them. Instead, they only pick out the vulnerable groups. At present, they can't hinder the affairs of the great nobles, and they don't need to pay fees. Besides, once the war starts, all materials and expenses will be reset. Adjustment, I don't know how many rewards I can get if I win the battle, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

So the matter of suppressing the bandits was over.

But something happened to the noble boy again.

After he got home, he started having nightmares again and again.

All day long, he dreamed of a pale woman sitting on the edge of his bed, looking at him with a cold and pale face without saying a word.

It turned out to be Lingxi, which he liked recently.

So the young nobleman panicked and immediately came to Yinyangliao to ask for help. After leaving the village that day, he already knew the true face of the whole village.

This time I dreamed of Lingxi again.

The whole person came to find someone in a cold sweat as if he was dehydrated.

But nothing was found.

After walking around, I only found Kurokawa who clocked in at work on time.

So he finished talking about the matter in detail, and then asked profusely in sweat.

"Where did King Ma Cang Ye go?"

Kurokawa thought for a while, "I'm not sure, maybe he's guilty of material taboos like his teacher again."

The kind that can't go out and can't work.

When the young nobleman's knees softened, he couldn't stand up while holding on to the pillar.

"Then am I waiting to die?"

Kurokawa said: "It doesn't count."

"You didn't do anything to apologize to her."

The young nobleman resented: "That's right, I was only saved by her, but I wouldn't want to trade my life. How could there be such greedy ghosts in the world."

"no."

"Before you left, you made a promise with her."

Kurokawa hooked up the little fingers of his left and right hands, and then pressed his thumbs together, "That's it."

"She misses you."

"Come and see you."

The young nobleman was dumbfounded.

"How could it be, how could it be like this."

"Nothing complicated."

"It's just that you haven't fulfilled your promise."

"But it's okay if you don't finish it."

"Just an apology."

"Apologize to her sincerely."

"It should be possible."

But what Kurokawa didn't know was that it was quite convenient and quick for him to apologize, but it was impossible for the noble boy. After all, he really didn't understand what he did wrong.

Isn't it just not fulfilling the promise?

Do people need to promise something to ghosts?

Two or three days after the young nobleman left, he came back again.

He went directly to the mansion of the Fujiwara family and asked Kurokawa if there was a way to eliminate the ghost, and then Koharu shot an arrow at his feet and scared him out.

"The method has been given to you, if you can't do it, you shouldn't rely on others."

Kurokawa stuck his head out from behind the door.

"have they gone?"

Xiaochun retracted the bow and arrow, "Let's go."

"Is this person not even the simplest apology?"

Kurokawa: "Because I don't think I did something wrong, after all, for him, disappointment and deception may be some kind of habit imprinted in his bones."

"It seems that after I eat Xiaochun's favorite pastry, I will feel very sad, thinking that Xiaochun must be very sad if he didn't eat the pastry."

"But some people don't even notice..."

Xiaochun: "Wait...why did you suddenly bring up this topic? You wouldn't really eat it up, would you?"

Kurokawa: "Ah...how come, but people occasionally make small mistakes."

"So also get a little chance to be allowed to repent."

Xiaochun: "...This is already a clear statement."

……

I heard that this young nobleman really can't use the method given by Kurokawa.

A simple "I'm very sorry" can't be said anyway.

So they asked the master of Buddhism and the priest and maiden of the shrine to deal with the ghost Lingxi.

There was an uproar.

Several people were injured.

The yard was also smashed and tattered as if the demolition office had come.

Only temporarily solve this matter.

Lingxi left temporarily.

No one knows when he will come back.

Plague began to spread in Heianjing.

It is said that there are too many people who have died recently—many robbers entered the capital at night to rob big households, and because of the recent bad times, some ordinary households could not afford to eat, and they could not find anyone to borrow money, so they could only slowly starve.

The body should have been disposed of as soon as possible.

But in this era, dead bodies have always been considered filthy among the filthy. Those who come into contact with these bodies are the untouchables, who have no status and no future. Ordinary people will walk away with their noses covered when they see them. They are responsible for disposing of the bodies. , slaughtered livestock, and many of them were wandering entertainers who became untouchables because they had no official status.

A rather lowly bunch of people in this day and age.

Hui Duo was naturally lazy in handling the corpse.

They put the corpses under the gate of Luocheng first, and when they piled up too much, they found a small cart to transport them away together.Therefore, people who entered the city from the south would often smell an extremely rancid smell coming from Luocheng Gate.

One to two to go.

The plague spread in the city.

The more people died because of the plague, the more chaos there was in Kyoto. Many people felt that they were going to die, and began to liberate their nature from going to work. They wrote love letters to men and women at home all day to express their hearts.

One day in the waiting room of the Taizheng official, when the nobles started to discuss the state affairs, they suddenly found that there were too few people coming. After asking the reason, they found out that most of them had to go home to rest because they saw a corpse on the road.

"That's not good."

"what can we do about it?"

So someone suggested that there should be a sunflower festival at Kamo Shrine to get rid of the plague gods wandering in Kyoto.

Someone asked: "Is it too early? The shrine may have some doubts."

"It's better to ask the priest to ask the gods first."

Kamo Shrine is dedicated to the god of thunder, and it is generally the shrine of the Fujiwara family with a long history.

Thor is born with the magic power to dispel evil spirits.

Therefore, many people agreed to hold sunflower sacrifices to pray for a good harvest and get rid of disasters.

The officials set off with the tribute and went to the Kamo Shrine to perform sacrifices. The long queue continued to wind, and many residents of Kyoto watched on both sides, probably because their faces were a little more rosy because of the sacrifices.

This sacrifice is conducted by officials and shrine priests.

Yinyangliao stood aside to watch the excitement.

This is about the different responsibilities of Yinyangliao and Shenshen Palace.

The Temple of the Gods is the place where divination is performed to ask the will of the gods, and Yinyangliao is the place where the will of the gods is divined—the god refers to the Amaterasu of Takamagahara, and the will of heaven refers to something deeper above the amaterasu. In the Heian period, the sky was regarded as the incarnation of some ancient and unchanging rules. .

To the Kamakura period.

After Genji established the first shogunate, in order to get rid of the orthodoxy of the emperor, he continued to elevate the status of Onmyoji, allowing Onmyoji to sacrifice to the "Tiandao", which has resisted the orthodoxy of "Amaterasu" from the "Tiandao".

But for now.

Both Tiandao and Amaterasu are standing with the emperor.

After the Aoi Festival, which was held much earlier, Kyoto has become much quieter. At least there are not so many corpses on the roadside, which is disturbing.

However, Kurokawa guessed that it was probably when the sacrificial ceremony was held, and an order was issued from above to make "Kyoto clean", so the corpses that had been piled up for a long time were moved out, the source of the plague was isolated, and of course death began to weaken.

Many officials from Yinyang Liao began to work.

It started to chatter here again, and started to talk about all kinds of gossip.

One of Kurokawa’s classmates, Takayanagi, has never seen any ghosts, can’t feel the aura of heaven and earth, and can’t drive shikigami. He commutes to and from get off work in the Yinyang dormitory on time every day. Occasionally, some small officials ask him to come out as a See a counselor.

This day he held a money bag in his hand and threw it into the air.

"I have a big deal."

The bystanders pinched their noses as if they could smell the stench of copper, and said, "Bad luck, bad luck."

How can officials be bothered by vulgar things?

It's not elegant.

Gao Liu didn't mind either.

Who doesn't know who yet.

"That's an official who just went to Kyoto from the local area. Now it's the year-end official position review, and he is desperate. I don't know if he will have an official position in the coming year. How can he keep it?"

Another classmate, Kitano, asked, "What is his background?"

Gao Liu replied, "No family, no faction, no one."

Kitano frowned: "This is not easy to handle. This year, many children of big families have given false names, and they are worried that they have no place to work."

Gao Liu shook the purse: "I'll just find someone to talk to him about it. It's up to him whether he can keep it or not."

The one with the highest position in Yinyang Liao is only the fourth grade, which is worthy of entering the position of the master, and the rest are nobodies who can only hang around outside the Qingliang Hall. The door of the rich and powerful.

Kitano said, "It's difficult."

Classmate: "Whether it's difficult or not has nothing to do with me, anyway, I have already received the money."

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Another onmyoji who had some experience in divination moved the Liuren style plate and said, "I just took a look for you."

"What are you looking at me for?"

The divination onmyoji said bluntly, "It's not good, it's very bad."

Classmate: "What's wrong?"

Divination Onmyoji: "I can't see it, it's just my intuition that it's not good."

Gao Liu snorted coldly: "Pretending to be a ghost, I don't know how much you are capable of. You are talking about this huge capital, what can he do to me."

Gao Liu greeted and went out immediately.

The fortune-telling onmyoji put the Liuren style plate in front of Heichuan: "Would you like to see it?"

Kurokawa: "Don't watch."

He folded the books and pens in his hand and put them on the bookshelf, and the divination onmyoji behind him followed up: "Let's take a bet."

"I bet Gao Liu will fall a big somersault."

Kitano and several other onmyojis stood aside, yelling repeatedly: "What are you doing?"

Divination Onmyoji: "We are betting whether Gao Liu will suffer."

Kitano: "Let's try too."

"I bet he won't."

"Gao Liu is so smart that I can't let myself suffer."

"What about you Kurokawa?"

Kurokawa thought for a while: "I think he will."

In the world invisible to others, the money bag in Gao Liu's hand was wrapped with crimson resentment.

I don't know where his money bag came from, but it must not be a good stubble.

Kitano slapped his head.

"I still had a bottom line in my heart."

"As soon as Kurokawa said it, I knew Gao Liu was in trouble."

He also didn't care about the betting, so he hurried outside and told Gao Liu to be careful.

……

"A rich man came from Kyoto."

"What rich man?"

Koharu and Kurokawa, who live under the fence, are having dinner, relying on the relationship of Ashiya Michimitsu, they still live in Fujiwara Xianguang's house, when Kurokawa became famous in those days, Fujiwara Xianmitsu wanted to adopt him as a adopted son, change his name, and have the right to inherit kind.

But Kurokawa refused.

Xiaochun said: "When I was walking in the south, I saw someone giving out food."

Kurokawa: "Does anyone still give food?"

When many people died of the plague a few days ago, I didn't see many famous families coming out to donate food. Instead, they put forward a very strange statement, if you feel hungry, drink more water, so that you can relieve the pain of your body.

It also happens that Kyoto is next to Kamogawa.

Many people lie down on the river to drink water.

But the problem is that Kurokawa remembers that Kamogawa flows through Ukyo, a relatively sparsely populated place, and things often sink into Kamogawa without knowing what.The water quality is very much to be verified.

Xiaochun nodded. Heichuan received food according to his official position, not much, just a few bags of unprocessed old rice. Even if Heichuan didn't eat, Xiaochun wouldn't be able to eat enough by himself.So in her spare time, she hunted and exorcised ghosts together in the south, and occasionally beat off two or three robbers to earn a little hard work.

It happened that she met a wealthy family who was donating food. He heard that he was a local official who had just arrived in Beijing and brought a lot of wealth to Beijing.

Xiaochun cupped her face: "It's not free either."

"If you eat his food, you will enter his mansion as a soldier."

"More than 20 people went inside this afternoon."

Kurokawa: "Rare."

Xiaochun followed suit and nodded: "It's really rare."

Xiaochun came back the next day, and talked about the rich family again. It happened that Kurokawa took the order and went to an official's house in Zuojing, so Xiaochun went with him, and the two walked together.

Xiaochun: "This rich man is so strange."

Kurokawa: "What happened again?"

Xiaochun: "He can't read."

Xiaochun stretched out his fingers: "And the fingers are also very thick, like five carrots."

"How does this kind of person write Shen Wen?"

Official positions change every year, and when they change every year, officials are required to write an article stating what they have done and what achievements they have made in the previous year.

Xiaochun added: "But the tall man next to him is very smart."

"Seeing that I took one more look at the rich man's hand, he immediately transferred me away."

Kurokawa: "You can be an official if you can't read. Anyway, you don't need to read to be an official now."

Anyway, after many people learn to read, the most common place to write is not to write official documents but to write love letters.

Xiaochun: "Wow...that's what you said."

They walked all the way to the official's house, and under the guidance of the servants, they walked to the official's bed. He lay pale and asked Heichuan sickly: "I don't feel well recently. Is it the same as the dead turtledove I met a few days ago?" related?"

Xiaochun whispered to him.

[I'm not sick and I'm pretending to be sick. ]

Of course Kurokawa knew, so he lifted his hem and had a psychological consultation with the official who pretended to be sick, telling him that he had indeed bumped into the dirt, so he might as well recuperate at home.

After issuing the leave note to other people, Kurokawa walked back with the commission. Usually he would not give it, but this leave note was on the heart of the official, so he was happy and gave it with a wave of his hand.

Xiaochun put her hands behind her back.

"Did you see the paper on his desk?"

"how?"

Xiaochun said, "There are love poems written on it."

She recited a sentence.

"Maybe I'm dating someone, so I don't want to work."

"When I went to the yard in the morning, I saw many girls in twelve singles sitting together."

"They persuaded a girl named Mizhi to accept a man's affection."

"What to say, day and night are fleeting, it is better to be happy as soon as possible."

Kurokawa: "It may be that too many people have died recently."

When they walked back, they saw many civilians walking towards the same place. Xiaochun pointed to that place and said, "That's where the rich households give out porridge."

Not close, but the bustling sound can be heard from a distance.

There are also words like "Master, look at me" and "Master, please accept me", Xiaochun said that they are working as servants in the homes of rich families who volunteered.

When I was about to leave, I heard another noise coming from the other side.

A rough voice said: "Which bastard is this playing tricks in front of my uncle's door, be careful, I will punish you with a knife."

I don't know what the conflict is.

Then the next sentence is familiar.

"Are you pretending to be a ghost?"

"I don't count that."

It is Ma Cang Ye Wang.

Xiaochun tugged at Heichuan's sleeve, "It's King Ye."

"Have you encountered any difficulties?"

What difficulty can he have.

Hei Chuan and Xiaochun walked there and saw King Ma Cang Ye standing at the intersection and confronting a servant. The servant held a long knife in his hand as if trying to kill him, but King Ma Cang Ye stood motionless.

After Ye Wang returned to Kyoto, he gradually took over the business of Abe Seimei, and stood at the crossroads as a beautiful boy—of course not, the crossroads is the place where ghosts are most likely to encounter ghosts. He is here to strengthen the seal of Heianjing, so that demons will not come out of the underworld. Make chaos. *

There are demons living there-so far, there are different theories, some say it is the underworld, some say it is the deep mountains and old forests, and some say it is the night food garden of Yueyue Ming. God is somewhat related.

The servant cursed and said that Ye Wang was stealing and abducting, and that he did not do anything.

Ye Wang asked very calmly: "How should I talk about this?"

At this time, the wealthy man in silk and satin clothes came out and said, "What happened here? Why are they all surrounded?"

The servant repeatedly explained to him.

The rich man immediately looked at Ye Wang: "Okay, you actually dare to cheat in front of me!"

He grinned, not paying attention to Onmyoji's means at all: "Didn't you say that you only raise little ghosts, let them go, if I am afraid, sir, I will kneel down and kowtow and call you Grandpa."

Gee.

Kurokawa whispered to Xiaochun.

[flag. ]

Xiaochun didn't understand.

But she also whispered to Kurokawa.

[It's exposed, I've never seen the wordless person speak in such a tone.

Ye Wang smiled: "You are not afraid, little ghost."

The rich man laughed and said, "How come you also know that the little devil can't help me."

Ye Wang said again: "After all, you killed many people when you occupied the mountains and forests. How can a mere brat resist the blood on your body?"

Hush

It was as if someone had blown a whistle.

As Ye Wang's voice fell, everyone's voices disappeared, enveloping those who were eating.

Officials will not occupy the mountains and forests.

Only robbers can kill in the forest.

The rich man's complexion suddenly turned black and blue.

"Scaring me?"

"Think I'm easy to deceive?"

At this time, a tall man led Gao Liu from another road and saw the confrontation between the two camps here.

Quickly blended in to play Tai Chi.

"If there's something else, why don't you go into the house and talk about it?"

"Under the blue sky and broad daylight, aren't everyone sweating from the heat?"

The tall man walked up to the rich man and whispered, saying that this onmyoji named Gao Liu had introduced a rich man for them.

Gao Liu couldn't hold back the smile on his face when he saw King Ma Cangye standing on one side and the rich man on the other, "What's wrong?"

Then the people next to him chatted in low voices, asking Gao Liu to listen to the whole story back and forth.

Gudong.

Gao Liu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It is so.

His knees were faintly weak, and he wanted to collapse towards Ye Wang - he had known Ye Wang's ability a long time ago in Yinyang Liao, so he didn't need to analyze it again by himself.

Ye Wang said in a deep voice, "Don't dare."

"If I entered this room today."

"Whether it will come out tomorrow is still unknown."

He looked up at the rich man and the tall man.

"You brought in that official in the same way at the beginning, then drugged him in the food and drink, cut off his head while he was unconscious, and then went to the capital to repeat his post in another day - why, do you still want to do it again now. "

wow.

Gao Liu couldn't stand anymore, leaned against the willow tree next to him and began to take a deep breath.

The expressions of the rich man and the tall man changed drastically, and then they shouted: "You actually found out, there's nothing I can do about it."

He yelled towards the yard behind him: "Brothers, come on!"

A group of people came out of the courtyard.

Holding a machete in his hand, he saw whoever he saw cut whoever he saw.

Ye Wang waved his hand.

It seemed that there were boundless fires coming from all directions, forcing the robbers to retreat continuously, and then abandoned their homes and fled.

……

The bandit's impostor became popular in Kyoto for a while.

Many people who had nothing to do and didn't want to go out gathered three or two friends and began to talk about it.

Civilians who had to go out to work described the incident as a legend.

After all, the strong are respected.

Gao Liu has recently been hiding at home and is unwilling to come out.

I was afraid that a robber would cut off his head on the road.

When Kurokawa went to Yinyangliao to check in at work, seeing Kitano talking about their bet, they all said that Takayanagi came back with a life, and then asked Kurokawa: "You are so good at divination, why don't you see when this disaster will leave? "

The things dedicated to the young noble family were robbed, and other people did not feel better. After all, disasters continued, and no one could afford to collect food. There were more and more bandits on the road, so that the folks named them monsters. It's called Darudao—specialized in robbery on the road.

Kurokawa shook his head.

So the onmyoji who did the divination at the beginning asked, "Do you want to see it or can't see it."

Kurokawa spread his hands.

"All."

He no longer has common sense, and he also knows that important things cannot be leaked to anyone casually.

The onmyojis sighed in unison.

The Aoi Festival at Kamo Shrine has just been held.

Boundless miasma and resentment filled the sky over Heianjing again.

Heichuan seems to be walking in the dark when he goes out in the past few days. He can bump into a man with dull eyes squatting in the corner in three or two steps. He doesn't know if he is dead or what. There was no manpower to be found, and many people's belts became tighter and tighter.

Finally, simply put the belt into the pot and cook it.

Swallowing while retching.

Xiaochun sent out all his rations.

Kurokawa asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Xiaochun stood in the yard blankly: "I don't know."

"I did not expect."

She came back with an empty cloth bag and sat in the yard in a daze.

Soon he asked Kurokawa: "Am I going to die?"

"I was never so desperate when I was about to starve to death before."

She pointed to the black miasma in the sky, "So many, so dense, I used to think that even if I die, the world will continue, but now I think, the world may die with me."

"We have no future."

"How terrible."

She walked out of the house with a bow and arrow in a daze.

Kurokawa looked up at the dim sky.

In fact, the nights in the Heian era were good. Every time he looked up, he could see many stars. He saw the miasma in the sky with one eye, and the stars in the sky with the other.

The world will not be destroyed.

Even if all humans, gods, and youkai die, the world will not be destroyed.

He sat in the yard waiting for Xiaochun to come back.

Xiaoharu ate the so-called "mermaid meat" brought back by Ashiya Michimitsu. Not surprisingly, she would go through a long, war-filled and cruel world, Kamakura, Muromachi, Sengoku—even Edo.

She would have seen a world that was not so good.

She will see piles of white bones piled up on the side of the road, phosphorous flames turning in the sockets of her eyes, she can even see the naked bodies of men and women being hung from branches, their bellies cut open, and their tongues cut off.

But even so cruel.

Life goes on.

Xiaochun's footsteps were remembered by the small door.

There was another heavy footstep following her.

Xiaochun came back with a baby in her arms.

She passed by Heichuan, pointed to the woman with disheveled hair behind her, and said stumblingly, "She said that the weather is too cold, and the child will die of fever. I want to wrap the child with some non-woven fabric."

She passed by Kurokawa.

Kurokawa grabbed her sleeve.

The swaddling baby in Xiaochun's arms gave off a rancid smell.

Deep blood and unknown liquid bleed out of the cloth.

The woman with disheveled hair behind her showed her upper body, her sleeves were tied around her waist, and her face was hidden under her messy hair. She rubbed her hands and asked humbly: "Just a little, just a little, sir, please do me a favor."

"Just a little, and my baby will be warmed up."

He said softly, "Xiaochun, bow your head."

Xiaochun stretched out his hand and pulled back his sleeve.

Continue walking towards the house.

Heichuan said again: "Xiaochun, look down at him."

Xiaochun suddenly turned around and broke down: "I know, I know!"

She held the child in her arms, but the thing in her arms could not be called a living thing at all - it was just a small rotten head.

She hugged the baby tightly.

The crazy woman with disheveled hair rushed forward and grabbed Xiaochun's hand.

Berate: "You hurt it."

He took the swaddle and hugged it in his arms, coaxing gently, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt...".

Xiaochun staggered a few steps, stood firm, and stopped aside.

"I do not know what to do."

"She hugged the baby and sat by the city gate, took off her upper body clothes, and exposed half of her chest to feed it."

"It was stuffed into the child's mouth that had not yet grown all teeth, but had already fallen out. She stuffed it a few times, but without responding, she put her head close to the child's forehead, as if she wanted to see herself through its eyes."

Xiaochun pointed to the pair of empty eye sockets in the little head.

"But there's nothing in there."

"The swaddle is cold, the skin is cold, and the eye sockets are cold."

"She's been crying."

"The cry is clear when you get close, but the cry is like a nightmare when you go far away."

"People are coming and going around."

"Some people are watching and laughing, and some are not watching and not laughing."

"Aman, what should I do?"

……

A banquet is being held at a mansion in Sakyo.

Although it is a banquet, there are not many drinks on the table, and there are not many appetizers. The most lively group of people can be called young people dancing in hunting clothes.

They are helping Ma Cang Ye Wang to celebrate.

Ye Wang's deeds of seeing through the real identity of the bandit at a glance have been circulated in the capital, which is impressive and his reputation has risen to a higher level.

Although these people are no more than acquaintances with Ye Wang.

But that's enough.

So a group of people sang and danced in the spacious bedroom, saying that Ye Wangqing was born out of blue and better than blue, and would take over Abe Seimei's baton and lead Yinyang Liao.

At this moment, Wang Ye stood up and walked towards the yard.

There is a pool in the middle, there is no water in it, and a rockery stands there alone, lonely and terrible.

Ye Wang glanced across the rockery, and then looked at the sky.

The people around were puzzled. It is true that there are many stars in the sky, but there are also such things. What is so interesting about this.

Ye Wang hissed lightly, signaling the surroundings to be quiet.

Then he said, "Have you noticed that?"

Everyone was puzzled, "What?"

Wang Ye looked at the sky, and the resentment and miasma covering the entire capital dissipated little by little.Revealing the clear night sky.

"It's clean."

All the miasma was like a whirlpool, swirling towards Fujiwara's mansion.

Kurokawa directed the mist.

Enter the child's body, and then condense into a small swaying spirit body.

But knee high.

Holding the mad woman's calf.

The woman knelt down like crazy, crying and laughing with the child in her arms, crawled over to kowtow to Heichuan, but Xiaochun had no time to stop her, the woman went down bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, her head would be smashed.

Xiaochun held the woman's arm to make her stand up.

He only heard Heichuan say: "Three years."

The crazy woman was in a daze: "What?"

Kurokawa: "Only three
