Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 464 Soul Returning Fragrance

night.

There was a full moon, the sky was full of stars, and there was a cold breath in the air. Yingcao and Zashiki Warji walked ahead holding hands.

And Xiaoluo's bride is hiding in Zashiki Doji's pocket.

People in Qinghe town generally go to bed early, let alone winter.

Although it was only seven or eight in the evening at this time, there were very few people on the street.

"Chen Beibei, during the days when you were away, Grandpa Wenliu came to our house a few times."

Chen Yan said suddenly.

What Chen Yan said made Chen Beibei a little unexpected. After all, Grandpa Wen Liu and Chen Yan were not very familiar with each other.

Oh, right……

Three-tailed fox!
"Did Grandpa Wenliu come to our house to look for the three-tailed fox?"

Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and asked her.

"No, Grandpa Wenliu already has a wife, and the relationship with Sanweihu has long been let go. Whether it is Sanweihu or Grandpa Wenliu, they have already given up that relationship, the most beautiful It must be buried in the heart. Now both of them know that it is better not to meet each other, so most of the time, if he can avoid it, Grandpa Wenliu will avoid the three-tailed fox."

Chen Yan said.

Grandpa Wenliu has always been a person who can see things clearly.

perhaps.

On the matter of the three-tailed fox, Grandpa Wen Liu probably thought more than Chen Beibei and the others.

At this time, Grandpa Wenliu was already old.

Will die soon.

For monsters, this period of time may be just a flick of a finger, fleeting...

Grandpa Wenliu probably wanted to make himself and Sanweihu completely strangers during this period of time.Because in this way, the three-tailed fox would not feel sad because of his own death.

Hmm...not sad...it should be the best.

"Then why did Grandpa Wenliu come to our house?"

Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and asked her.

If it wasn't for the three-tailed fox, Chen Beibei would never have imagined why grandpa Wenliu went to his house.

after all.

Grandpa Wenliu is not a person who likes to visit.

"I came to look for you. It seems to say that there is something I want to entrust to you for safekeeping."

Chen Yan looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

"No way? Why did Grandpa Wenliu leave things to me for safekeeping? Doesn't he still have a son in Luoying City?"

Chen Beibei said in disbelief.

Although in the past, Chen Beibei had a lot of interaction with Grandpa Wenliu because of the Three-tailed Fox.I have also been to Grandpa Wenliu's house many times.Moreover, Chen Beibei was also very interested in the strange stories that Grandpa Wenliu saw when he traveled around the world when he was young.

but.

The relationship between the two seems to be just a very ordinary relationship.It's not the kind of relationship that is good enough to entrust things to yourself.

"It is true that something is going to be entrusted to you for safekeeping. I asked him before."

Chen Yan said.

Chen Beibei couldn't help speeding up his pace. Chen Beibei also became interested in that thing.

Chen Beibei felt that it might be something related to monsters.

after all.

Grandpa Wenliu was the only one who knew that Chen Beibei was an Onmyoji, and that the people around Chen Beibei were actually Chen Beibei's shikigami.

It may be that Chen Beibei's identity as an onmyoji made Grandpa Wenliu want to give certain things to Chen Beibei for safekeeping.

……

Chen Beibei and the others soon arrived at the door of Grandpa Wenliu's house.

Mud brick and blue tile house.

It looks out of date and there are many cracks in the walls.It gives people a feeling that it may be poured out in the next heavy rain.

"Bang bang bang!"

Chen Beibei knocked on the door. The door was also the wooden door many years ago. The wooden door had been eroded black by the years.

"Who?"

It was Grandpa Wenliu's voice. It seemed that they were still asleep.

"Chen Beibei, Grandpa Wenliu, we're here to see you."

Chen Beibei said.

Chen Yan was still holding a basket of fruit in his hand. Chen Beibei had seen this blue fruit at home in the morning.Chen Beibei probably prepared it yesterday.

On the way, Zashiki-douji and Yingcao ate one each.

"It's Chen Beibei, you're finally back. You've been away for almost a year, right?"

Grandpa Wenliu's voice seemed very excited.

Chen Beibei never thought that Grandpa Wen Liu would be so excited when he came back.

after all.

In Chen Beibei's heart, Grandpa Wenliu was a very powerful man.

"Well, it's been almost a year."

Chen Beibei said.

When I left Qinghe Town, it was at the end of winter, and now it is winter.

Even though it's been less than a year, it's almost gone.

When I left Qinghe Town, I wanted to solve the disaster Shuten-douji brought to mankind.

In the end it worked!
During this year, everyone has grown a lot, whether it's Chen Beibei or Chen Yan.

Of course, so do the Shikigami.

"Squeak..."

The door opened, and there stood an old man in a coat, who looked very thin.

"Chen Beibei, Chen Yan, everyone, come in."

Grandpa Wenliu moved out of the way tremblingly, and Chen Beibei led everyone in.

The courtyard of Grandpa Wenliu's house is quite special.It's basically a vegetable garden.

From the position of the entrance, there is a stone-paved path leading to the main hall.

There are two fields on both sides of this path.

Because it is winter now, these two fields are planted with cabbage that is more common in winter.

It looks green and very comfortable.

"The weather is getting colder and colder now, old woman, hurry up and light a fire! I want to have a good chat with Chen Beibei and the others."

Grandpa Wenliu said.

It is not difficult to see that Grandpa Wenliu is very happy, but as to why Grandpa Wenliu is so happy, Chen Beibei is not clear.

perhaps.

In Grandpa Wenliu's heart, Chen Beibei must be a very important person.

……

The firewood was crackling, and the small room was glowing red in the light of the fire.

"So comfortable~"

Zashiki Warou poked his little hand and said with a satisfied face.

It was cold all the way when I just walked from the outside.The room is very warm now.

"Grandpa Wenliu, I heard you visited me?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked him.

"Ah."

Grandpa Wenliu nodded, then got up and went back to his room, and began to search.

After a while, Grandpa Wenliu came over with a wooden box.

The wooden box looks very rustic, but it should be a long time ago.

The color of the wood is the same as the color of the gate, it is jet black.

"This is……?"

Chen Beibei looked at the wooden box and asked suspiciously.

This kind of thing is very precious at first glance, and Chen Beibei couldn't help but become serious.

"This is a treasure I got when I passed through Mino Country. It is said that it has the ability to bring the dead back to life."

Grandpa Wenliu said.

"Resurrection?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and became even more puzzled.Grandpa Wenliu still looks very calm, probably because he has seen too many strange things, so even if he holds this treasure in his hand, there is not much fluctuation.

"Well, you may not believe it, but if you listen to me tell a story, you may believe it!"

Grandpa Wenliu looked at Chen Beibei with a faint smile on his face.

Tell me about what you saw when you were young.

It is also a happy thing.Especially when someone is willing to listen.

"Grandpa Wenliu, please tell me."

Chen Beibei said.

Grandpa Wenliu picked up the hot tea in front of him and took a sip.

Then lightly flicked the teacup with the lid of the teacup, and then looked out of the window, falling into the sky full of stars.

[The story happened in Mino Country, that was the second year after I separated from Three-Tailed Fox.

When passing Mino country.

A daimyo from the Mino country is trying his best to find an elixir called Huihunxiang, which can bring the dead back to life.

After I asked people, I found out that it turned out that the daimyo's wife had died.

It is said.

His wife is a very beautiful and virtuous woman named Uehara.

The daimyo wants to resurrect his wife.

So let your retainers look for the soul-returning incense everywhere, and also issued a notice to the people of the entire Meinong country.

——Anyone who finds the soul-returning incense will give up the position of daimyo himself!

This kind of promise has been known to the world, and the famous name must not be able to go back on his word.

and.

Everyone knew that the daimyo's love for his wife, Kamihara, had reached the point of being inseparable.On the night of Ueharano's death, the daimyo even threw himself into the river, but fortunately, he was found by the maid and survived.

All of a sudden, Mino Junior High School set off a wave of searching for the soul-returning incense.

Everyone wants to live a life of prosperity and wealth by relying on Huihunxiang.

But why is it so easy to find the Returning Soul Fragrance?

Many people have left their jobs because they are looking for Huihunxiang. Farmers are no longer farming, businessmen are no longer selling, and workers are no longer working.Many people have broken up their wives and children, and their families have been destroyed. 】

"Is there really a soul-returning incense in this world?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked curiously.

Of course, Chen Beibei has heard of the Returning Soul Fragrance, but Chen Beibei is not sure whether the Returning Soul Incense exists.

after all.

Resurrection Incense is not a monster, but a magical woody fragrance.

[At the beginning, I didn't believe in the existence of the Returning Soul Incense, but as so many people frantically searched for it, many clues about the Returning Soul Incense gradually appeared.

——Returning soul incense, spiritual things too!The fragrance smells for hundreds of miles, the dead body is on the ground, and the breath is alive!
This is a sentence that everyone found in an ancient book.It seems to be just a very common sentence, but it still gives those who are looking for the soul-returning incense an opportunity. 】

"What opportunity can be found in such a sentence?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked him.

Returning Soul Incense is an elixir that can bring the dead back to life, which Chen Beibei knew.

As for the others.

It's not clear at all.

Moreover, looking at the sentence above, there are only two pieces of information that can be obtained.

One is that the fragrance of the soul-returning incense is very strong and can travel far.

The other is that the soul-returning incense can bring the dead back to life!

"Wen Xiang is alive, these four words made everyone start to inquire about the strange things about the resurrection of the dead. There are quite a few such things, but most of them are false. And it has nothing to do with the returning soul incense."

Grandpa Wenliu said.

"Then did everyone finally find the soul-returning incense?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked him.

Obviously.

At this time, Chen Beibei has already become very interested in the Returning Soul Fragrance...

Even if I think that the soul-returning incense should not exist.

"It's up to me to continue."

Grandpa Wenliu made a fool of himself and continued on without haste.

[The resurrection of the dead is basically false, so everyone no longer collects such strange things.

but.

Soon people also realized a problem.

"The fragrance smells for hundreds of miles, the dead body is on the ground, and the breath is alive!" If this sentence is true.

Then the fragrance of the soul-returning incense.

It must be produced slowly under certain complicated conditions.

Knowing this, most people have already given up looking for the soul-returning incense.After all, this is like the alchemy that once emerged, it is almost impossible to accomplish. 】

Hearing this, Chen Beibei knew that this matter would not end like this.

because.

Not everyone is giving up.

Sure enough, after Grandpa Wenliu took a sip of tea, he continued talking.

[The upsurge of searching for fragrance has lasted for nearly three years in Mino country, and I have been living in Mino country during this time.

One day.

When I was walking alone in the wilderness, I suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, and I walked away.

Since it has gone from morning to night.

The aroma is still lingering in the air, becoming more and more intense...but I am also getting closer and closer to the barren land.

Although I was timid in my heart, I still couldn't bear to go back.

At last I saw a copper furnace in the wilderness, and the aroma really came from the furnace.

On the side of the copper stove, there was a thin old man, like a mummy.

The old man's face was distorted, and he kept chanting: "It's done...it's done..."]

"Did the old man make the soul-returning incense?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked him.

【Well, the incense in the furnace is indeed soul-returning incense.However, when this old man was supposed to refine the soul-returning incense, he was probably too obsessed, so that the essence in his body had completely dissipated.

then.

The old man's skin was sallow and thin, and even the skin in some places was damaged, revealing the white bones directly.It was obviously a mummy that had been exposed to the sun for a period of time in the wilderness.

"It's done...it's made...it's made..."

The old man kept chanting these words, and his face looked extremely painful.

I looked at the old man, at a loss.

Suddenly, the old man rushed towards me, when his sticky body touched me.I ran away in a panic...

result.

The old man uttered a shrill cry, followed by a voice that sounded like a voice from hell: "Take it away!!"]

"I know that if the incense sticks stay with the old man, the old man will not die until he is shriveled by the sun or eaten by wild animals. So I made a wooden box and sealed the incense Get up. The old man finally died, and I took the soul-returning incense with me."

Grandpa Wenliu said.
