[Comprehensive] Playing off again

Here is a frozen space.

A more appropriate term would be "stationary".

Without wind, the grass and leaves will not be blown, just like the image on the canvas, it looks vibrant, but in fact it is just the painter's superb skills.

They are more like dead.

Xiaobai said that "there is nothing alive" here, and from Seimei's point of view, this is indeed the case.

So what about them?

There are frightened deer in the small courtyard of the wooden house.

Regardless of how the cycle is formed in this space, the bamboo and wooden water vessel can measure time. After about half a day, Seimei found that he was not hungry.

Does time really flow?

Or is it that their time is fixed?

Instead of hiding these things in her heart, Seimei spoke out the problems she was thinking about and asked everyone to find a solution together.In this place that seems to be outside the timeline, if there is no communication, if you stay for a long time, you may even forget the skills of life.

Onmyoji remembered the message from the witch.

On the other side of the crack, there is great horror.

If this was the case... Seimei smiled wryly.

It is indeed a horrible situation that cannot be dealt with.

The strongest among them is undoubtedly Ibaraki Doji, even the young version.According to Seimei's estimate, Ibaraki's demon power at this time is between SR and SSR, but he has nothing to do with this closed space.

Xiaobai suggested that the boy Ibaraki try to fuse six white dumplings, but the other party was unwilling, but then came to Seimei with a gloomy face and told him that it was useless.

Seimei almost smiled because of this embarrassment, but fortunately he stopped in time, and calmed the Ibaraki boy who had a tendency to explode with a gentle face, making the other party do nothing but snort.

The result of Ibaraki's attempt was within his expectation.

This space cannot be cracked by brute force.It's a pity that even though Qingming thought about all the classics in the study and tried many methods, he still couldn't find a way out.

There is only day, no night.

The four seasons have never changed, and Jinglu is dripping small water droplets steadily, so quiet that it is frightening.

The magic frog automatically adjusted its state and went to "hibernation".

Shenlong and Ibaraki were slightly affected, after all, they are the best monsters, they have experienced a long time, and their hearts are tenacious.

Xiaobai held a white dumpling in his mouth and handed it to Qingming to warm his hands. When we first met, the white dumpling, which had always stuck to Ibaraki no matter what, gradually became familiar with everyone and became close to other people.

Especially Seimei.

Xiaobai looked up worriedly at the onmyoji who looked a little tired, "Master Qingming, do you need to rest? Xiaobai will stay by your side."

Qingming's face was as gentle as ever, "I will rest every day, Xiaobai."

Timed by the startled deer, even if the sky is always bright and it is always morning, Qingming still adheres to the human work and rest, divides the time and works according to it.

There are bedrooms in the cabin.

As long as the doors and windows are closed and the light is dimmed, it can be regarded as night to fall asleep.

Five days have passed.

It hasn't been long, and there shouldn't have been many changes, but Qingming is not a person who is satisfied with the current situation, he always has a long-term vision, and now this long-term vision seems to be holding back - there is no hope, and the onmyoji is visibly haggard with the naked eye .

Xiaobai was so distressed, but he couldn't turn the situation around, so he could only come up with random ideas, "Master Qingming, Xiaobai is talking about the magic frog's kind of rest!"

Do you sleep?

until the accident happened to be awakened.

Qingming shook his head resolutely, touched the loyal Fox Shikigami, and said with a smile, "In that case, it would be too lonely for an awake person."

Xiao Bai was moved to tears, "We will definitely find a way out!"

"Ah."

Two more days passed.

No need to attack, no need to decrypt, under the verdant tree, a passage is automatically formed.

Several people looked at each other.

Through the passage, they could see the outside world, which looked like a deep mountain, with cooking smoke floating in the sky in the distance.

There are living people!

Xiaobai was excited, his two tails swung wildly, and he didn't forget to ask his master, "Master Qingming, can we go out from here?"

The boy Ibaraki who was about to leave turned his face when he heard the words, his golden eyes were full of eagerness to try.

Seimei threw a stone in the past.

The stone bones rolled to the outside world, appearing in the deep mountains they saw.

Xiaobai galloped up, "I'll call the magic frog!"

Shenlong was beside Qingming, five of the six white balls were hanging on young Ibaraki's body, and the other was on Qingming's shoulder, holding a strand of silver hair with two small claws.

The magic frog quickly returned to the team, and the group set off.

At this time, they all thought that they would be familiar with Heian-kyo when they went out, and they would be able to return to Kyoto after asking the way to identify the direction. They never expected——

will come to another world.

How do you know that this is not a familiar place?

Very simple.

When I knew that there was another "Abe Seimei" here.

From the old people who kindly took in the troubled son Qingming whose clothes were blown out of shape by the storm and lost his black hat, they heard words of praise for the onmyoji Seimei. , but his face changed when the old man confided more information.

If that "Qingming" was a counterfeit, what about the other things?

Many details are missing.

For example, "Qingming" in the elderly's population is blond and curly.

Xiaobai almost said something, Qingming stopped it, and kept chatting with the old man about the family affairs in a peaceful manner.The boy Ibaraki who put away the characteristics of the ghost clan next to him couldn't sit still at all, and looked out frequently. His current role is a little son, and Xiaobai is a pet. As for the devil frog... It's too big to hide, and its identity can't be justified, so it can only be wronged Stay outside and watch the wind.

The six citrus balls seem to hang on its back obediently, grabbing the flowers and plants growing on it, and from time to time the pain makes the frog bark its teeth, and think of the mountain rabbit again.

At noon, the middle-aged men who had gone hunting came back, and the women and children went out to greet them one after another. The whole village became lively, and the news of Qingming and others' arrival spread to every household.

In this closed village in the deep mountains, everyone knows each other, and what happened in anyone's family can't be hidden. Qingming and the others were quickly surrounded by crowds, doubts and prejudices poured in, and melted into curiosity and longing in Qingming's smile and conversation. .

They only stayed in the village for two days before leaving with excuses.

It’s not because the villagers are unfriendly, but in fact they are too friendly. Once the people raised in this kind of place rely on mountains to let go of their guards, they will be very enthusiastic. Needless to say, there are already eight school-age women who have tried to give Qingming gifts. Seimei is not well.

The young Ibaraki laughed heartily, and joked, "Seimei, why didn't you stay? The woman who wanted to give the handkerchief this morning is not bad."

Xiaobai was about to walk out of a figure eight, with his head held high, obviously very proud, and he said with a cocked tail, "Master Qingming has always been a girl killer!"

The boy Ibaraki commented: "It is quite similar to the title of Shuten-douji."

Qingming: "..."

No, it is completely different from "Virgin Killer".Wait a minute, "Girl Killer" is just some people's booing, it's not his title at all!

Even if she loses her memory, Seimei is not so easy to fool.

The silver-haired onmyoji changed into clean and complete clothes in the village. The rough fabrics could not conceal his appearance and temperament, which were far superior to ordinary people. If he went to the next village, the current scene would probably repeat itself, right?

He has already asked the way, and it is still far away from Kyoto.

Sunny smiled.

The silver-haired onmyoji unfolded the bat fan that hadn't been damaged in the storm, and asked sincerely, "Ibaraki Doji, can you do me a favor?"

The golden eyes are facing the blue ones of the sky.

When they arrived at the next village, it was not the two sons, but a couple.

The girl Ibaraki Doji transformed into was tested by Minamoto Yorimitsu and Shuten Doji. Back then, these two were the commanders of the imperial army known for their bravery/the king who stood at the top of the ghost clan. They had seen countless beautiful women, but Falling back and forth on the girl Ibaraki's body, her beauty can be seen.

Before they entered the village, there was such a conversation.

Seimei hesitated, "Ibaraki, can you become...a normal girl?"

Girl Ibaraki: "I only do this."

Love or not.

A beautiful girl calls herself "Master Ben" with a melodious voice like a yellow warbler, and the picture is also very beautiful.For some reason, Ibaraki has a weird notion of "become a beautiful woman if you want to change, otherwise you will insult him".

In Onmyoji's imagination, this would at least be better than before.

However, an accident happened.

It is obviously a small village deep in the mountains, and every family is a farmer or hunter who has never left the local area. However, someone has a big heart and wants to dedicate the girl Ibaraki to a nobleman in order to seek a reward.

And this so-called "noble man" is just a broken monk from a dilapidated temple.

Neither Seimei nor Ibaraki have ever put the other person in their eyes. This is not even arrogance, but a difference in vision.

The whole group was very surprised.

Like farce.

Including the time to deal with this matter, they stayed in this village for three days, and the distance between the two villages—calculated at the speed of the magic frog, yes, Qingming was carried by the magic frog—was two days , so it's seven days.

Seimei and the others returned to that still space.

"..."

In the dead silence, Qingming tapped his fan on the palm of his hand, following the rhythm of the frightened deer, with a calm expression, "Okay, let's sum it up."

"Seven days" is a key word.

Of course, what needs to be considered is that they are likely to have arrived in another world, unless the people in the two villages have a wrong perception of "Abe Seimei".

In addition, it is very likely that the time to go out next time will be seven days later.

Although he knew that it would be a blow to morale if he couldn't go out after seven days, Seimei had to make this inference because the matter was too obvious.

The companions naturally left all the brain parts to Qingming, but what Qingming had to think about and always thought about most was: What is going on in this space?

Too few conditions are known to solve.

Seven days later, they went outside again.
