[Comprehensive] I lost the strategy

"What's the noise at noon?!"

The door next to the room where Jin Shiyue stayed before was opened, and a red-haired monster stood at the door, cursing in a low voice.

I guess I was taking a nap just now, and my voice was still hoarse.

"That's right, who is disturbing your best friend's nap, come out and die!"

Behind the red-haired monster protruded a white head with horns, and shouted at Xiaobai viciously.

Xiaobai was so startled that he hiccupped, and quickly ran into Kagura's arms to hide tightly, leaving only a pair of ears outside to listen to the movement.

Jin Shiyue asked curiously: "Is this your new shikigami? It seems very strong."

The one with the red hair scoffed, and before he could speak, the monster with white hair behind him responded like an insect: "Damn, you don't even recognize the ghost king of Dajiangshan? My best friend Shuten Doji is the strongest monster!" , although Seimei is powerful, it is not enough to accept my best friend as a shikigami! We just came here as a guest to escape the summer heat."

Jin Shiyue didn't care about the other party calling him "that ghost" impolitely, and just smiled: "So Qingming's new friend?"

The white-haired monster was upset again, and said, "Whoever wants to be friends with others is just Qingming who is stronger, and he is not a friend."

The awkwardness of this monster is really enough, Jin Shiyue looked directly at Qingming, Qingming spread the things in his hands on the stone table, and said with a smile: "This is Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, very powerful The big monster is indeed here to visit me."

Whether it's monsters or ghosts, everyone likes Yin Qi, but the scorching sun in summer is instinctively hated. At this time, the ghost king will also find a place to escape the heat.

But the shade of the vegetation outside is not as comfortable as the shade created by an onmyoji with spiritual power, so Jiu Tun stayed in Ibaraki's Anli Xiaqingming's yard for a while.

"This is Jin Shiyue," Qingming introduced to the two monsters, "He used to be my old friend."

Jiu Tun said: "Oh, it's the ghost that you poured out of the tea pot yesterday? You recovered pretty quickly."

Jin Shiyue: "..."

It feels like he probably can't escape the title of ghost of the tea pot in this world.

Qingming was also a little embarrassed, after all, he was the one who imprisoned Jin Shiyue, so he had no choice but to say: "You two go to rest first, I will let Xiaobai be quiet."

Jiu Tun snorted: "Forget it, that fox's voice is already loud, Ibaraki, let's change the room."

"Listen to my best friend!"

The two monsters walked out of the room, turned a corner, and walked to the back room.

Qingming smiled apologetically at Jin Shiyue, and set up a pen and paper to draw symbols.

Jin Shiyue looked at him for a while, and suddenly noticed movement in the small pond opposite. Looking up, he saw a few bubbles popping out of the water, and then three heads poked out from the water, squeezing Formed into a ball, quietly looking at this side.

Jin Shiyue blinked, he only recognized one of them as a kappa, but the other two girls didn't know what monsters they were.

"Is that your new friend too?" Jin Shiyue asked, pointing to the pond.

Seeing that he found them, the three heads were all startled and dived into the water together. When Qingming turned his head and saw only bubbles and waves on the water surface, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Then She's a shikigami, but she's also a friend."

Jin Shiyue looked at him for a while, smiled at him, and nodded.

Seimei in front of me has indeed changed a lot.

When Jin Shiyue came to this yard in the past, Qingming was alone most of the time. Occasionally, Xiaobai would run around beside him, and the other shikigami would only be called out when necessary. .

Most of the time, those shikigami stayed in Seimei's sleeves in the form of little paper figurines.

Jin Shiyue asked Qingming if not letting them out was because it would consume spiritual power. At that time, Qingming just smiled and told him that he didn't care about this little spiritual power.

"Then why don't you let them out to keep you company?"

"Because the world is filthy."

At that time, Seimei answered like this.

Because the world is filthy, it is better to stay clean in a piece of paper.

But now Seimei is completely different. There are shikigami everywhere in this yard. Although Jin Shiyue can't exactly perceive the types or hiding places of those shikigami, he can clearly detect the difference between this yard and the previous ones. the difference.

Unlike the dead silence of the past, this yard is full of "vigor".

None of the shikigami is in the form of small pieces of paper, and they live alive in this yard.

Jin Shiyue looked at Qingming, and he began to suspect that the other person's appearance was his own masterpiece.

The kindness in Qingming's bones is what he is looking forward to. He who has lost his memory can enjoy such happiness without any burden.

But he still felt that something was wrong.

What went wrong?

Seimei carefully drew the talisman, and Kagura watched it for a while, then took a pen, and followed suit with style.

Although Kagura was slightly inferior to Seimei in the use of spiritual power, her spiritual power carried the yin energy that ghosts like most, so Jin Shiyue even liked the stack of spells in her hand even more.

Qingming worked hard, fearing that Jin Shiyue would not have enough to eat, so he continued to paint until evening, when the sun was almost setting, so he stopped rubbing his neck.

Xiaobai couldn't hold back and ran away when Qingming was halfway through the painting, and now he came back with small steps and asked them to eat.

Many shikigami heard about Jin Shiyue from Xiaobai and came to see him curiously, but they all left after saying hello, and some shikigami were withdrawn by nature and would not show up easily. Yue also has no desire to know each other one by one.

But you might see some new faces while eating.

Jin Shiyue was right. Although shikigami did not actually need to eat, there were also many shikigami who were greedy, or simply wanted to spend more time with Seimei, and would appear during meals.

Most of these shikigami are relatively weak monsters, only Shuten and Ibaraki came to eat carelessly, and they insisted on arranging another table.

If it was Qingming from before, she would have tried to play tricks on them, but now Qingming has a good temper and just agreed with a smile.

But they don't know how to eat much, the cooks are all shikigami like cherry blossom demons and peach blossom demons, and most of the food is light, and it's okay to go with scented tea, but it's never fun to eat while drinking, Shuten and Ibaraki also know In this regard, they just like to party and come to drink and join in the fun.

Jin Shiyue couldn't eat it either, and just floated behind Qingming, absorbing the spiritual power from the spell.

After a meal, it was dark, and Qingming went back to the room to study the scroll for a while, drew a few talismans, and when it was almost midnight, he took Jin Shiyue out.

Shikigami's spiritual power subconsciously radiated at night, permeating the entire courtyard, making Jin Shiyue have a desire to take a deep breath.

But it's just thinking about it, the current Jin Shiyue doesn't have the function of breathing at all.

Qingming took him further and further away. If it wasn't for Jin Shiyue's death, he probably thought he was going to kill someone to silence him.

But it's not enough to kill people, Jin Shiyue couldn't help asking: "Where are we going?"

Qingming said, "Go and find materials to make umbrellas."

Oh, he still remembers this.

Jin Shiyue stopped talking and followed him obediently.

One person and one ghost walked to the climax of the moon, and finally stopped in front of a clump of bamboo.

It is not quite right to say that it is a clump. Although these bamboos are crowded together, they are not as thin as other bamboos. Instead, they are very thick and their roots are extended. Yue suspects that in a few years, they will grow into a bamboo forest.

There should be shikigami in it too.

Qingming stood still in front of the bamboo, and Jin Shiyue thought he was about to make a seal, but he just reached out and knocked on the hollow of the bamboo like a neighbor visiting, and asked, "Is anyone there?"

Jin Shiyue thought to herself, monsters are the most born in bamboo, where did they come from.

But the shikigami who lived in Takenaka didn't think there was anything wrong with Seimei's words, and after Seimei knocked on the "door", he appeared.

Not just one person, but a grown man and a little girl, sitting in a bamboo tube, floating in the air.

The girl stroked the corner of her skirt, looked up and found that Jin Shiyue was frowning, looking at her with a tangled face, then timidly hid behind the man.

Wannianzhu glanced at Jin Shiyue before saying to Qingming, "Master Qingming, what can you do with us?"

Qingming smiled and said to him, "I want some bamboo to make an umbrella."

Wannian Zhuxin understood, and said, "Is it for Master Jin Shiyue? Although we don't move around often, other shikigami have spread the news here."

Seimei nodded.

Wannian Bamboo said: "A few bamboos will grow to their peak spiritual power at midnight tomorrow, it's a pity to take them down today, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Qingming glanced at Jin Shiyue beside him, thought for a while, and agreed.

"It should be an umbrella for sunshade, right? If you don't consider keeping out the rain, you can go to Shuweng for the paper for the umbrella. He has stored paper with spiritual power for a long time," Wannianzhu said: "Maybe it will be Can you help me with calligraphy and painting or something."

This Qingming didn't expect that in order to ensure the spiritual power attached to the umbrella, he was going to use talisman paper to paste the umbrella. Now that I think about it, it doesn't look very good. It would be better if I used Shuweng's paper.

After thanking Wannianzhu, Qingming took Jin Shiyue back to her room.

"Scholar should rest at this time. He is not a nocturnal shikigami. It would be better to go to him tomorrow during the day." Qingming explained to Jin Shiyue.

Jin Shiyue nodded, and when the other party changed clothes and was about to rest, he suddenly asked, "Qingming, are you happy now?"

Qingming was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and replied: "I should be happy. Although I don't have any memory, I'm a little...a bit at a loss. Everyone told me that I was very powerful in the past, and I was the one who could save Heianjing, but I I still can't help doubting myself, worrying that I won't be able to do so well and make everyone feel disappointed..."

"But with so many people accompanying me, I still feel very happy," Qingming said with a smile: "Even if it is a very difficult thing, I seem to have the courage to do it."

Jin Shiyue looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "That's good."

The room fell silent.

I don't know how long it has passed, just when Jin Shiyue thought that the other party had fallen asleep, Qingming's voice suddenly sounded again.

"Actually, what I just said is not entirely true," he said, "I can feel their expectations, but it's not entirely because of this that they feel helpless."

"What was I like before?"

"Although everyone tells me how great I am, I always feel that this is not the case." Qingming looked at Jin Shiyue: "You know what I really look like?"

In the dark, Jin Shiyue was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I thought you had become an idiot, but after looking at it, it's actually the same as before."

Jin Shiyue floated to his side and said to him: "You were not a saint at all before, you seemed to be kind on the surface, but in fact you are still very dark in your heart, and you think about a lot of things every day, just like a fox...Of course It's not a fox like Master Bai, no matter what the reason is, even if he ran into you to save someone, most of the guys who offend you will be dealt with by you."

"The compliments you said about you from shikigami are just the side you showed on purpose in the past—your current appearance is exactly the same as the one you showed on purpose before," Jin Shiyue said , laughed lowly: "So don't worry about disappointing their expectations, just keep it like this."

Qingming listened to his evaluations that were completely different from others, and gradually, her heart settled down.

He instinctively knew that what Jin Shiyue said was true. He was not such a great saint. Anxiety, depression and malice towards the world had always existed, but he could not express it.

Only in front of this person... only in front of this person, he can be himself without any scruples.

So……

"Will you stay with me all the time?"

Unconsciously, he asked.

A familiar question, Jin Shiyue thought, how did he answer this question last time?It seems that for the sake of goodwill, he agreed?Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that the other party puts himself in the jar.

But this time, he didn't want to do such a thing again.

Since parting is doomed, then don't make extra promises. After separation, the other party can come out faster.

Jin Shiyue thought for a while and said, "Probably not, everyone is mortal...Although I am already dead, I will leave after I finish what I want to do."

"Don't you have many Shikigami friends now? They will never abandon you," Jin Shiyue said, "So don't worry about me so much."

After a long silence, Seimei responded in a low voice.

Jin Shiyue said again: "You have changed a lot from before, really, so you won't be as lonely as before. I'm really not that important."

This time, Qingming didn't make a sound, and she didn't know if she was asleep or was unhappy to talk to him. Jin Shiyue couldn't say anything more, she floated beside him and fell asleep.

Perhaps because of something in his heart, Jin Shiyue had a rare dream. In the dark dream, he saw a crescent moon. It was not a terrible dream, and the moon shone on him very gently.

When she woke up the next day, Jin Shiyue forgot about the dream, only to find that Qingming had gone somewhere, and he was the only ghost in the empty room.

After death, this is not good, the perception of living things has dropped a lot, if he is still alive, he will hear the sound when Seimei moves.

Jin Shiyue fluttered to the door, and subconsciously wanted to push the door, but his hand went straight through. He froze for a moment, then walked through the door helplessly, and went outside.

It was morning, the sun was not so strong, but Jin Shiyue didn't want to wander outside, and just floated along the shadow of the porch.

Just thinking about whether to ask a shikigami where Qingming is, Jin Shiyue turned a corner and bumped into a huge red bloodshot eye.

Jin Shiyue's heart stopped beating for an instant.

If he still has a heart.

Anyway, Jin Shiyue was so frightened that she almost lost her mind.

It's not that he's afraid of those terrifying demons and ghosts, it's just that the sudden appearance makes him a little bit unacceptable.

And take a look back, this guy seems to be an umbrella demon?

Tangzhi Umbrella Demon was also taken aback by Jin Shiyue. After realizing it was Jin Shiyue, she blinked her big eyes and said to Jin Shiyue, "You're already up? Master Qingming is with Shuweng Huahua, let me pick you up."

Jin Shiyue looked at the umbrella demon, a little confused.

Tangzhi Umbrella Demon was also a little embarrassed, she said: "Master Kagura stayed up late last night to draw talismans, and is still resting now, so it's not easy to ask her to borrow an umbrella. It should have been Guhuo Niao... But she went out for something, I have no choice but to come, you... please don't dislike me."

Jin Shiyue shook her head helplessly: "It's not disgusting, it's just..."

"Are you worried that I won't be able to cover it up?" Tang Paper Umbrella Demon stretched out his hands anxiously to prop up his head, and said to Jin Shiyue, "Look, this is all right!"

Jin Shiyue was amused by her, and said to her: "It's not for this reason, but you are not a very strong monster, are you? You should also hate the sun, don't you? Wouldn't it be uncomfortable if you shaded me?"

Tangzhi Umbrella Demon froze for a moment, then shook his head quickly: "No, no, I'm glad I can help, the sun is not too big now, compared to Mrs. Jin Shiyue, a monster like me with a solid body Actually, I don’t really hate the sun!”

Now that the other party said so, Jin Shiyue stopped refusing, and stood under the umbrella of the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon, and went to another room with her.

"Lord Jin Shiyue is as gentle as Master Qingming..."

When approaching the door, Tangzhi Umbrella Demon suddenly smiled and said in a low voice.

Jin Shiyue glanced at her and smiled: "Me? Let's do it. In your heart, is Qingming also that kind of majestic image?"

Jin Shiyue re-entered the shadows, and the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon put down the hand supporting his head, and stared at him blankly with one eye.

Jin Shiyue said: "What if Qingming is not the person everyone said, but a guy with a dark mind, who even wants to destroy the world?"

Tangzhi Umbrella Demon didn't know why he said such a thing, and it took him a long time to stammer and say: "I, I don't know what human beings should do... But, Master Qingming must be a good person."

"A little monster like me... In the end, it's just a spirit with low combat effectiveness. Even if it becomes a shikigami, it has no training value. Most onmyojis choose to directly use us as fodder to feed even more powerful shikigami. Only Lord Seimei..."

As Tangzhi Umbrella Demon spoke, his voice became firm: "Only Master Qingming is willing to take me in like this. Even if Master Qingming is not as great as everyone said, I am willing to follow him!"

Jin Shiyue stared at her fixedly for a long time before laughing: "Look, I've already said it all."

The door behind Jin Shiyue was opened, and Qingming was standing inside, looking at him helplessly.

He also heard everything that the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon said just now.

Seeing Qingming, Tangzhi Umbrella Demon was startled, and hurriedly said, "Ah! I'm sorry! I offended Master Qingming!"

Jin Shiyue waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "What kind of collision is this?"

Qingming also smiled at her and said, "It's okay, you can leave first, thank you for bringing him here."

Tangzhi Umbrella Demon was so excited when she heard Qingming's thank you, she even forgot to say goodbye, and left in a blissful manner.

Jin Shiyue turned her head and looked at him with a smile.

Qingming's heart moved slightly, but after recovering, he sighed and said to Jin Shiyue, "Come in quickly, and look at the umbrella surface."

Jin Shiyue floated in as he said, only to see that the scholar had finished drawing and was inscribing.

"Write Master Qingming's name?" He smiled gently.

Qingming said, "Don't write mine, write his."

The scholar nodded, and started to write.

Logically speaking, this name should be written by Qingming, because after all, it was a gift made by him. Although Qingming's paintings are not very good, but the words are rarely praised.

Qingming didn't write because of what Jin Shiyue said last night.

He clearly realized that Jin Shiyue didn't mean to be with him all the time, and he probably didn't really want this kind of gift with hand-written inscriptions...

However, this was his misunderstanding. As a pragmatist, Jin Shiyue didn't mind this, but since Qingming didn't do it himself, he, who had just said something flirtatious last night, was naturally embarrassed to ask for it.

After writing Jin Shiyue's name, the scholar looked at his own handwriting for a while, and said with a smile: "Well...you can still make progress. I heard that the magistrate of the underworld writes very well. Master Qingming has some friendship with the underworld, right?" ? Do you want to go to the judge to ask for words?"

Jin Shiyue: "...Then, that's unnecessary."

It's too much to ask the judge to write his name. Even though he is dead now, Hun'er still has to go to the underworld to pick him up... But in this way, he was forcibly detained by the former Qingming, and there will be no such thing in the underworld here. What's the reaction?

The author has something to say: I wrote in a hurry yesterday, I didn’t even save my words, because I did something stupid... Alas, I hope it can be resolved smoothly
