The journey of becoming a god of mushrooms in the ninja world

Yuan Boya was surprised: "It's White Tiger!"

Senju Hashirama concentrated: "Does it look like a white tiger to you?"

In his opinion, he is just a young man with white hair and blue eyes, who looks like a scoundrel!Now he is wrapping his arms around the other person's neck naturally, much like a little child acting coquettishly.

Qingming did not explain to the two of them, but directly said to the white tiger: "You are not at a disadvantage anyway. What you have is only the remnant souls of three souls and two souls, and you want to exchange them? Or are you deliberately mocking me? , just like I won’t trade him (Bo Ya), you don’t want to let go of that remnant soul either.”

The big tiger in Yuan Boya's eyes showed a very human expression. It grinned, like a child whose naughty prank was discovered.

"I found it, Qingming. Yes, this is the remnant soul. It was a gift from me at another time three days ago. He said that this was the 'joy for music' that the soul had thrown away, and he felt reluctant to let it go. Throw it away, but you can't keep it - if you keep your soul intact, some nasty guy will track it down, so you gave me that part of your kindness."

The white tiger stood up and swept his tail.

Felines wagging their tails are a sign of displeasure.Especially for tigers, the tail is equivalent to claws and teeth, which is equivalent to its weapon.

"You want to take advantage of others, Qingming?"

After hearing this, Yuan Boya burst into tears.

"So... so pitiful, so pitiful!"

He couldn't help mumbling to himself.

"Isn't it more painful to lose your love for music than to fall into hell? How sad and lonely it is!"

Bai Hu retorted: "He lost it himself. He doesn't need it anymore. How can it be called pain? He won't feel pain."

Yuan Boya continued to cry: "That's because I have lost it. I don't even have it anymore. How can I remember the pain? He plays so well. It's not just ordinary liking. He must like it very much. Just like I love music as much as I love music. He loves music so much, but it is so pitiful that he has lost the music he loves so much."

Now even Bai Hu had nothing to say.

Qingming chuckled: "Look, Xingjun, don't you think humans are interesting?"

Baihu Xingjun looked at Boya: "It's indeed interesting."

Qingming continued to guide: "Wouldn't the remnant soul in your hand become more interesting if it was a complete soul? The reason why human beings are interesting is that they have self and thoughts. Don't you just want to listen to the flute and don't want to be like me? Experience more fun in interacting with people?”

White Tiger Star Lord looked at Qingming.

"Do you feel happy being with interesting people?"

Qingming said: "When you are interested, you will walk around the world and you will understand how happy I am."

Bai Hu yawned again: "I understand, what you said makes sense. But I'm too sleepy now. Let's try it next time. You can take this remnant soul away, Qingming, and let him go back where he should. If you have a chance, come and play together..."

He muttered as he curled up into a ball and disappeared into the clouds again.

Qingming turned to look at Boya: "Can you please play a piece of music suitable for Xingjun to sleep?"

Boya nodded, picked up the flute and played it again.

The music this time is melodious and soft, like the breeze blowing through the tender grass, ruffling the folds of the lake surface, and embracing the warmth of spring.

The flute player on the other side of the cloud also picked up his flute again and joined in. This time it was a complete soundtrack, embellishment of Boya's music.

The clouds disappeared and drifted away to a distant place.Boya's music returned to his solo performance at some point. After the song ended, they saw clearly that there was a layer of hoarfrost on the ground, which was the trace left by the dew on the clouds and the cold air on the top of the mountain.

A wooden piccolo that was too small, like a child's toy, fell quietly into the frost.

Boya walked over, squatted down, and picked up the flute with both hands.

This turned out to be a broken flute.

It was cut off by something sharp in the middle, and it could be spliced ​​back together along the smooth fracture.

Boya was heartbroken: "It's a good flute. It's so pitiful."

Boya believes that musical instruments have a heart.More than once, he came across musical instruments that he cared about, and he felt even more sorry for the damaged ones.

Qingming said: "The remnant soul is probably here, can it be repaired?"

Boya stroked the surface of the flute with his thumb and index finger, then nodded: "It's a very common material, beeswax inlaid with gold - no, it might be better to use silver, you can connect it. Use the same material to connect a section in the middle, I With some tweaking, it can be turned into a flute.”

During the main connection, the inlaid part in the middle occupies too large a proportion, and it is possible that even after repairing it, the sound will not come out.It is best to add a flute pipe of the same material in the middle and change it into a flute.Moreover, flutes are too long and most of them are spliced ​​together.

Qingming said: "Maybe the owner of this flute doesn't like the flute, but that's all he can do now. The repair work is left to you, Boya."

Yuan Boya nodded, this is what he is good at.

At this moment, Abe Seimei finally thought of Senju Hashirama, who had been forgotten for a long time, and nodded to him.

"Then I will use this flute as a medium, and use the traction between the remaining soul and the main body to send you to the other half of his soul."

Hashirama finally had the opportunity to ask: "Why do I see things differently from Boya?"

Qingming replied: "The so-called Constellation God General is a concept. Although it existed before humans, it did not need to have consciousness and communication capabilities until humans recognized its existence and made wishes, or It is said that it took the form of a curse. Strictly speaking, it itself has no entity. The image that everyone sees is their own imagination of this concept. We went up the mountain just to see the White Tiger Star Lord , so Boya subconsciously thought that what he saw must be a white tiger."

Hashirama was surprised: "But what I saw was a human being, a human being that I have never seen before and looks very good-looking."

Qingming smiled: "That's probably because you subconsciously hope to see a human being with whom you can communicate. Maybe you see some of its essence."

Yuan Boya was curious: "Then what image do you see in your eyes, Qingming?"

Qingming chuckled, took out the paper fan and shook it casually: "Yeah, what does it look like?"

Maybe it’s something everyone expected.

After Senju Hashirama returned, he waited for a while for Minamoto Boya to modify the flute.

During this time, Yuan Boya was running around, and he and Qingming were drinking.

Yuan Boya worked hard to repair the flute, while he and Qingming were still drinking.

Yuan Boya finally repaired the flute, and he and Qingming were still drinking.

Even Senju Hashirama felt a little guilty. He looked at Abe Seimei, who had no guilt at all, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Officials in your era basically don't go anywhere and just sit around at home?"

Fortunately for Yuan Boya, Yuan Boya was originally the grandson of the emperor, even if he became a minister, he could leave it alone.As long as it's not an important matter, no one will bother him or say he's not doing his job properly.But what about Qingming?He is a great Onmyoji with an official position. Is it really okay to drink and have fun at home every day?

Abe Seimei shamelessly took another drink: "What can happen? If that man didn't call me, who else would dare to call me?"

Boya: "Qingming! How can you call in front of outsiders——"

Yes, Qingming used that man to refer to the emperor to Boya in private. In the past, it didn't matter that the two of them talked casually in private. Wasn't there an outsider?

Qingming chuckled: "No problem, he left soon anyway. You are making too much fuss, and I said that the name is a curse. In order not to affect that person, I try not to call him with that kind of reference. .”

Boya believed it: "Really?"

Qingming laughed: "Of course it's fake, hahaha, Boya, you are so cute, I won't call him that man in court."

Yuan Boya pouted, Yuan Boya was very angry.

Senju Hashirama felt that he had to interrupt, otherwise the two of them could ignore him and continue in the small theater.

"Since you're bored, would you like to find another part of your soul with me, Seimei-sama?"

Qingming shook his head: "That's not necessary. I usually avoid time-based spells."

If we talk about the reasons, there are many reasons involved, which are related to prophecies, words and spirits, time sequence and logical order.

Abe Seimei can explore the past, but he generally avoids doing so unless there is no other way.

Because compared to the 'past', people today must become 'yin' in the 'past', so as not to have a negative impact on history.It's not a soul even if it's said to be a soul, it's an entity but it's not an entity. Ordinary people can easily turn into negative things if they stay in this form for too long. For Qingming, his friend Boya bound him to be a kind-hearted person. Under the Onmyoji's curse, he hoped to bring Yuan Boya with him to most of the places he traveled, otherwise it would be too lonely for him to go alone, and there would also be a risk that the restraints would become weak.And such a "yin state" trip is too dangerous for ordinary people like Yuan Boya.

In the future, the same principles and reasons will apply. In addition, understanding the future will fix the present into the unchangeable past, which is to bind the country and its people with the curse of foreknowledge.If the power of the Great Onmyoji is too great, his ideas will become reality and his spell will be unbreakable.In order to keep the future full of possibilities, Seimei will avoid doing this.

However, he also briefly explained the reasons for Hashirama. The main reason was that he did not want to leave Minamoto Boya too far. Most of the time, he still wanted to act with his friends.

"Being able to travel to the shadow state of the past is similar to the dead. The dead can peek into the past. As long as you become dead for a short time, you can still come back." Abe Seimei said, "If you go to the longer past, we may be able to accompany you. But according to my divination, the remaining part should be in the extremely distant future."

future?

Hashirama couldn't help but be confused by this word. He thought that he had accidentally arrived in the future?

"Peering into the future requires a 'yang state', that is, we have to use this actual body that is vulnerable to damage. Unfortunately, for us who still want to return to this era, doing so is too dangerous. If we are not careful, we may Even our own existence and the place we want to go back to will become vain. The psychic king you mentioned can do it, and the White Tiger Star Lord can do it because they are already 'gods' and have no time. The concept and the actual existence of the body. If it were an ordinary human being, it would be possible for him to turn into a withered skeleton after returning from a journey."

Hashirama couldn't help but said: "You are not considered an ordinary human being, are you?"

Qingming replied: "Is it an ordinary human being, or do you want to say that I am indeed the son of the white fox?"

Hashirama: "Wait a minute, is this also a... curse?"

He vaguely understood that Abe Seimei was actually bound by a 'curse'. The world mythologized him too much and called him the son of the white fox. Although it didn't seem to have much impact on him, this great man Onmyoji still took precautions against this.

Prevent yourself from being shaken by such a curse, prevent yourself from getting too close to inhuman things, and constantly strengthen the curse of being an 'ordinary human being'.

Therefore, it may not be that he cannot do some things, but that he is unwilling to do them. He has drawn a 'boundary' for himself as a human being.

"You are a great man."

He couldn't help feeling emotional.

Qingming smiled and nodded: "That's it."

Yuan Boya: "Qingming, be more humble!"

Why aren't you afraid of curses now?Is it okay as long as it's a compliment?So true, Abe Seimei!

The flute was quickly repaired. Yuan Boya picked up the flute and tried the tune. After making sure it was OK, he couldn't help but play a tune on the flute.

Compared with the piccolo, the sound of the flute is longer and the tone is lower, just like the difference between a boy and a young man.

"Growing up requires bruises and pain, and the same goes for musical instruments."

Qingming couldn't help but sigh.

Hashirama couldn't help but mutter: "That's not necessarily the case. As long as you have something you cherish and want to protect, it will grow on its own."

Qingming heard a chuckle: "You are right, I am obsessed with it."

These words make people unable to help but wonder what kind of past the legendary Great Onmyoji went through to become who he is today.

But for him now, that is a past event that he doesn’t need to care about, right?Now, he already has a reason worthy of protecting this world, and he doesn't need to go through bone bruises to gain strength.

Hashirama felt vaguely that something touched him. He couldn't tell what it was, but he thought he would understand one day.
