Plane Convenience Store

"Where is this?"

He Mao Renqing looked at the transparent colored glaze around him with doubts on his face.

However, he quickly understood what this place was under Lu Lu's explanation.

"So that's how it is." He clasped his fans together and said with a smile, "This is the future Tang Dynasty!"

He looked around, and the words printed on the colorful packaging were indeed familiar. If he looked carefully, he could indeed see the meaning of the Chinese characters.

Without Lu Lu's hospitality, He Mao Renqing turned around in the convenience store by herself.

While viewing the merchandise, he tapped his palm with a bat fan.

After turning around, a question that had troubled him for a long time finally had an answer.

"So that's how it is, that's how it is..." He sighed softly, "All the things in the Izumo Kingdom come from here."

"That miso soup should also be learned from here." He said firmly.

Some time ago, Izumo Kingdom's guard in Heian-kyo made a lot of limelight.

Whether it is the novel miso soup or the extraordinary taste of tea leaves, the officials in the court are very envious.

Unfortunately, despite all their inquiries, no one knows where Izumo Kunimori got these.

As a result, the people who couldn't get the secret died down, and Izumo Kunimori suddenly became a popular figure.

Because of the exquisite and elegant tea leaves, the emperor summoned him several times during his stay in the capital of Izumo country.

And Izumo Kunisaki is also a knowledgeable person.

When he entered the palace for the first time, he dedicated tea to the emperor, which won the emperor's appreciation.

Since then, all the clever things he presented have been loved by Emperor Chongwu, and they were in the limelight for a while, and even his daughter Kyoko was favored by the emperor.

Because Izumo Kunisaki often enters the palace, it is inevitable that he will show off his daughter.

As time went on, Emperor Chongmu also became interested, wanting to see what kind of character the daughter who was talked about by the guards every day was.

So under the emperor's instruction, the Izumo country guard asked Kyoko to carefully concoct a few waka, and then chose an auspicious day to present these letters to the emperor.

Xingzi's handwriting is beautiful and lovely, and her talent is also very good.

So after reading a few waka by Kyoko, Emperor Chongmu became very interested in this poetic and picturesque woman.

In this way, after going back and forth, there was a pile of letters between Emperor Chongmu and Kyoko.

The emperor gradually took this woman to heart.

After another period of correspondence, Emperor Chongmu felt that the timing was just right, so he quietly kept his promise to Izumo Kingdom that Kyoko would be granted the position of female imperial court as soon as she entered the palace, which can be described as sincere affection.

Like Xingzi, a country girl who grew up in the mountains can obtain the position of female imperial concubine as soon as she enters the palace, which shows the depth of the emperor's friendship.

The female royal is the highest-ranking woman under the empress.

After getting this gossip from Shikigami, He Mao Renqing understood that Kyoko's entry into the palace was a certainty.

It can be seen that every woman in the world has a unique experience, even a country girl has her own wonderful fate.

He Mao Renqing is a pure onmyoji, so when he heard the news, he just laughed it off.

The affairs of the royal family are not something that a little onmyoji like him can meddle in.

Those court schemes have nothing to do with him, so he will keep it a secret until Emperor Chongmu marries Kyoko.

To be honest, there is a group of restless shikigami, and he can hear a dozen of similar gossip every day, so it is not surprising to him.

What really aroused his interest was where did Izumo Kunimori get these things?

He once secretly sent Shikigami to investigate, but the result was the same as those who returned home with nothing.

He was still wondering at the time, thinking that the Izumo country guard was blessed by the gods, and he was depressed for a while.

And now, he finally got his wish.

"Datang's stuff, I have to take a good look at it."

He was secretly happy in his heart, and eager to try it on his face.

Although the convenience store is small, it has all the internal organs.

The dazzling array of products made him dizzy. After browsing for a while, he chose his target-tea and hot pot base.

He Mao Renqing chose a box of tea leaves and four packs of hot pot base ingredients, and took them to the cashier.

"Shopkeeper, what should I exchange them for?"

"You can use anything. If you can't think of it, use your currency."

When He Mao Renqing was looking for the purse, Lu Lu suddenly asked: "If I'm not wrong, you should be an Onmyoji, sir?"

"Yes, it's me."

He Mao Renqing was thoughtful: "What's the matter with you?"

"Mr. Onmyoji, I am a soul-invoking physique. I often encounter ghosts when I walk, and I have been tortured by ghosts for many years."

Lu Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Excuse me, do you have a way to keep me away from ghosts? I can exchange them with you."

"The method of exorcising ghosts, if your physique is not serious, you can use ordinary spells." He Mao Renqing pondered: "If it is really as serious as you said, then the spells needed will be harsh."

He Mao Renqing looked up at Lu Lu's face carefully, and asked him a few questions.

After finishing the pre-preparation, he closed his eyes and made a divination, but the result shocked him.

"How is it? Is my hexagram image very bad?" Seeing the serious expression of the Onmyoji, Lu Lu couldn't help asking.

"The appearance of a narrow escape, there is no way to avoid it."

He Mao Renqing shook her head and said: "You will soon have a calamity, which cannot be avoided. Only by responding to the calamity will there be a chance of survival."

To be honest, after living for 20 years, Lu Lu has heard similar words no less than a hundred times, and he has worshiped all kinds of magic sticks.

It's just that parallel imports are parallel imports after all, so as soon as he heard the words 'Little friend, I see your face is dark', he turned around immediately, not giving the magic stick a chance to fool him.

Now, Onmyoji also gave the same hexagram, logically speaking, he should not believe it.But even he couldn't explain the strangeness of the convenience store, so with a glimmer of hope, he believed in the divination of this onmyoji for the time being.

"Then can you tell me how to respond to the robbery?" Lu Lu asked him.

"Sorry, my ability is limited, and I can't divination more things." He Mao Renqing said with a trace of apology: "I can only tell you that your calamity is related to ghosts."

Seeing Lu Lu frowning, He Mao Renqing felt even more guilty.

As an onmyoji, it should be his duty to help the world fight against demons.But facing the Tang man in front of him, he still concealed something.

He saw more than these things from divination.

Something deeper, more indescribable, was thwarting his divination.

He faintly felt the existence of 'that', but he couldn't express it, and couldn't find words to describe the 'that' thing he felt.

Helpless, he could only keep silent.

In fact, from the very first moment he saw 'that thing', he knew that he would not be able to deal with its corners in his entire life.

Fortunately, such a curse did not occur in their world.

He sighed inwardly, but didn't show it on his face.

He knew that it was useless for him to tell the young man, it would only increase his fear.

Squeezing the handle of the fan, He Mao Renqing gave up her original plan.

He threw the gold and silver he found back into the purse, took out all the charms from the sleeve of his robe, and put them all on the cold table.

"Sorry, my ability is limited, so I can't help you much."

He apologized again: "This is a spell I made. I don't know if it will work. I hope it can help you."

Having said all that, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and left in a hurry with the tea and hot pot ingredients in his arms.

He could feel that there were ominous figures peeping at the convenience store, and only if something protected the store could he be safe and sound after the divination.

After stuffing a bunch of things into the spell, He Mao Renqing realized that he was still in the middle of Fenglin.

After looking directly at the twisted thing, there was a shadow in his heart, which made him no longer in the mood to admire the maple.

In the cold afternoon, the red maple leaves were as dazzling as blood, so he hurried back to the ox cart and let the servants drive back to the house.

It wasn't until he returned to the mansion full of spells that he felt a sense of security.

"It's really embarrassing to be frightened by the ghost curse." He laughed at himself, "Maybe I'm not suitable for the job of an onmyoji."

"Master He Mao, why do you say such depressing words?"

Xue Nu presented shaved ice poured with gangue, while disapproving of authenticity.

"Well, I encountered something beyond my ability, and felt that I couldn't deal with it in my life, so I was a little depressed."

He Mao Renqing stirred the shaved ice with a spoon, and thought that accepting Xue Nu was the most correct thing he did in his life.

There is a snow girl at home, and he will never lack for shaved ice all year round.

There is nothing better than a bowl of cool shaved ice in the hot summer.

He scooped a spoonful of shaved ice into his mouth, and the sweet juice of Gange immediately melted on the tip of his tongue, which made the onmyoji, who loves sweets, squint his eyes happily.

However, after swallowing the shaved ice, a bone-piercing coolness concentrated on his heart, submerged his lungs, and put his whole body in the ice water, as if he could no longer break free.

"It's really cold to eat shaved ice in autumn."

Moreover, the biting cold brought back bad memories for him, and made his mood, which he had finally relaxed, worse again.

"Sure enough, it's better to eat something hot in autumn."

Under the curious eyes of Yukino, he slyly took out four packs of hot pot base ingredients from his sleeve, shook at Yukio and said: "You have been thinking about the miso soup that Izumo country guards drink, today I will give you I found it, how can you thank me?"

"After the miso is ready, I will serve the soup for the adults." Xue Nu said angrily.

"Bring the soup... Goodbye, good-bye, miso soup won't taste good when it's cold." He Mao Renqing didn't dare to tease Xuenv any more, and immediately put it away as soon as it was good.

Tear open the package, He Mao Renqing poured the hot pot base into a small bowl, and then told the kitchen to make miso soup.

Because of Izumo Kunimori's sake, miso soup has become a popular food in Heian-kyo, so the cooks did not question Kamo Tomoharu's order, and quickly made a recently popular food.
