Onmyoji--Xiao Hei entered Xiao Bai's body

The prince's name is Yanren, and his biological mother is the present Zhonggong.The younger brother of the middle palace, that is, the prince's uncle, is the head of this generation.With such a strong mother and relatives, there is no suspense about winning the emperor's throne in the future.It can be said that the future glory of this school is tied to the prince.

But he doesn't seem to have the gravitas of a future emperor.The young prince sat on a couch, his rich robes loosely draped over his shoulders, and his long hair hanging loosely.He looked up at me, with the rogue that is unique to teenagers, and said with a smile: "I knew that the Phoenix who saved my life back then would come to see me as a poor patient! Fenghuang, Fenghuang, I secretly went to the forbidden area of ​​the shrine to find You! Heaven pays off, I finally see you."

"I am not a phoenix. It is his humble flame. The world has misunderstood you for too long, and let you down."

"No?" He blinked and smiled nonchalantly: "No, it's not, why be disappointed? What I always want to see is the beautiful bird that saved me. That's you, so what does it matter if you're not a phoenix?"

I was speechless for a moment.

I often blame myself, because under the guise of the name of the phoenix, I have a shrine as a shelter, and the flames protected by priests and witches will not go out, and I am fortunate enough to see the bustling and wonderful world.Although I didn't intend to steal it, I have gained a lot because of occupying the noble name of Phoenix.Anyone who listens to my unbearable behavior will despise me!

"Phoenix...Fenghuanghuo, why are you feeling inferior? You were the one who saved me from the horse. Since you are not a phoenix, then the phoenix is ​​like a crow to me, a mortal bird. To me, you are more beautiful than the phoenix, more important!"

I couldn't tolerate such words, so I immediately put on a straight face: "Don't insult the Phoenix! The prince is in good health, please inform the shrine, the priests are very worried."

Yan Ren curled his lips: "It's just that I'm worried about entrusting power and position."

see?This is a child who is too smart and difficult to deal with, which makes me helpless.I walked away, but he stood up and grabbed me, pleading: "Phoenix Fire, I said something wrong. Don't leave yet!"

His hands are cool, not afraid to touch me.Most of the things I have touched in my life have been burned to ashes, not to mention skin contact with living things.I looked down at his hands, feeling this novel experience.

The hands of your human race are very soft, very gentle but very strong, and when the palms meet, there seems to be a reassuring force.This is a very unique ability of your family.

The prince laughed softly, and pulled me to sit down in front of the mirror. "Phoenix fire, in our mortal world, women can't just have their hair disheveled like this."

"Although I have lived in the shrine for more than a hundred years, I have never shown myself in human form, so it is useless for me to modify my appearance."

He pursed his lips and smiled, very proud: "So, I was the first to see your human form! Sure enough, I have always believed in the fate between you and me."

"fate?"

His eyes shone brightly against the lights: "You don't know this word? Fate is the chance that people meet, the most precious and rare in the world."

Fate... I whispered this word quietly in my heart, recalling my tossing and turning experience, I have a little understanding.

Prince Yanren took out a warm and crystal-clear comb from the drawer, with strange patterns on it.The comb runs gently through my hair, from the crown to the ends.

I felt it was inappropriate for him to behave like this, so he just smiled: "This is to repay the kindness of saving my life before, you can't refuse."

He put the long hair on the back of my head on top of my head, and left a few strands of short hair on the sides of my face and in front of my forehead. He also taught me how to use rouge and eyebrow cream.I accepted it all with curiosity.Finally I did realize that I was really a wild girl back in the day.

"You look so good." He looked at me in the mirror.

I nodded: "The former appearance is not good."

The prince shook his head: "The previous appearance is also good-looking. Fenghuanghuo, I think everything about you is good-looking."

I lowered my head and sighed secretly: He really should have seen the real phoenix, so that he wouldn't face me with a mere absurd appearance.

He held the comb in his hand and played with it over and over. "Fenghuanghuo, this comb is made of rhino horn. The rhinoceros is a spirit beast, so it can touch you without burning it. The Chinese poem says 'Hearts and rhinoceros are connected together'. Phoenixhuo, I combed your hair with a rhinoceros horn comb, can you Can't you understand what I mean?"

Although I was quite old at that time, I was living a confused life.After careful consideration, I told Yan Ren: "Either the horn used to make the comb is not a real rhino, or it was taken from a stupid rhino."

He rested his chin and pondered for a long time, with sadness in his eyes: "Thanks to me getting along so well with the ladies in the palace, I'm still an idiot in front of you..."

He sighed, pinned the comb on the topknot of my head, and curled his mouth: "But it's okay. Fenghuanghuo, you said that you have lived in the shrine for a hundred years, but you still don't understand human emotions. Let me teach you ? People's hearts are very interesting."

I doubt it, but he swears by it.

After I visited the sick one time, news of the prince's recovery reached the shrine.The priests let out a long sigh of relief, and thanked the statue of Phoenix with folded palms together.

They sang praises, and I sat by the well deep in the courtyard, looking at the reflection in the water, and stretched out my hand to straighten the comb on my hair.Since then, I seem to be a more complete person.

Yan Ren is a young man who loves to laugh. When I recalled the conversations with him, I found that he was always smiling, even when he confessed his mistake to me, he still had a shrewd smile.

Of course, a nobleman of the royal family is in the prime of his youth, so of course he should be happy.

That's what I thought then.Superficial, right?Now I can already understand: Although he is keen, he is unfortunately caught in the whirlpool. No matter how bright his smile is, it cannot last long.

Life in the mountains remains the same, so I often go to Yanren.I don't care what human emotions he said to teach. My belief and mission are to wait for the phoenix, and the rest are dispensable.However, he has hidden a lot of collections of folk tales, and he always reads them to me, which I like very much.

According to the story, I am a ghost, but the world you describe in your hearts and pens is even more bizarre than my world of real ghosts.Ah, you humans, why do you have so many wonderful ideas?

When I got tired of listening to the stories, I also learned to write and paint from Yan Ren.There is no mystery in using a soft brush to smear on silk paper, but there is a kind of vitality in your calligraphy and painting that I yearn for. I like this kind of fire that burns at a glance.You humans, I am amazed.

Time is very slow and leisurely for me, but Yu Yanren is not.

On this day, I was watering the sycamore grove when I vaguely heard Yan Ren calling my name.I felt strange, but after listening carefully, it was indeed him.His voice was anxious, as if he was in danger.

No villain dared to set foot in Phoenix Mountain, but I didn't dare to take it lightly. I turned into a giant bird and rushed into the deep mountain, found Yanren in the deep valley, and protected him with my flaming wings.

He was covered in mud, his hair was hanging down his ears, his fine clothes had been punctured by branches, and he had lost one of his shoes.

Surrounded by many flames, he was crying and rushed over to grab my body: "Phoenix Fire, take me away from here, take me to the farthest corner of the world, to a place where no one knows me!"

I regained my human form and asked, "What's the matter? Why did you sneak out of the house?"

His eyes were full of sadness: "Father intends to become a monk, he will give me the Zen seat before that."

The priests have discussed this matter for a long time, so I was not too shocked when I heard it, but was just surprised: "What's wrong?"

"That's right, you don't understand." Yan Ren sighed, and pulled me to sit on the grass. He looked into my eyes and said, "Uncle's influence is too strong, and Father doesn't like it. Choose to pass on the I was just a helpless move forced by my uncle. The emperor will not really give up power, but my uncle hopes that I will consolidate and expand the power for my mother's family. Alas, I shouldn't insult your ears by saying these secular things."

Although I have been living in the deep mountains, I have finally lived through these many years, not to mention that there have never been many intrigues among priests. I understand what the prince said very well.

He held my hand tightly: "In short, both of them are my relatives, but the actions of both sides disgust me. Phoenix fire, I don't want to be a pawn in the competition. You are good to me, please wait for me to leave here."

I sighed and told him that he was too naive and too impulsive.He was born to live a prosperous and prosperous life, ignorant of the sufferings of common people, and yearning for false freedom wishful thinking.

"Besides, I have seen with my own eyes how your ancestors worked hard from generation to generation to build up today's family business. Therefore, I cannot condone your absurd behavior."

"Fenghuanghuo, do you want me to succeed? Even if I marry the queen and the queen, I will have countless female officials, you don't mind at all?"

His question confuses me, and the anger in his words confuses me even more.I can only educate him in a tone of vicissitudes: "The ancestors of the prince and the emperors I have seen with my own eyes have never married according to their own will. This is the price you have to accept."

I know I know, no matter how you look at it, I didn't give him a good answer.

He let go of my hand and smiled wryly: "I think too much of myself, you care more about this shrine than me."

What he said really caught me off guard. "What are you talking about? I'm just trying to stop you from being confused. Stop messing around and I'll take you home."

I took the comb he gave me from his head, helped him fix his messy hair, and summoned a group of larks passing by, asking them to find Yanren's lost shoes.

"These little guys listen to you? Phoenix Fire, there are always good things to do with you." Yan Ren stared at the sky with wide eyes.

I saw him showing a clear smile again, and I felt much happier: "They, like you in the past, only regard me as the king of birds. Sigh, I'm using the name of Phoenix again."

A little bird brought me a needle and thread from the shrine, and I mended Yanren's clothes. "I'm not considered dexterous, but I just learned from watching witches doing needlework. Don't hold it against me."

When Hibari retrieved his shoes, I mended his clothes.Yan Ren touched the rough thread on his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "Fenghuang Huo, this is my last, last request to you. If you refuse, I will not mention it again. Take me away from Ping'an Jing, we are hiding in a distant place , never come back!"

In fact, no matter how many times he asks, my answer will not change.Even if I understand his intention today, I will still refuse.

I helped him tidy up his clothes, shook my head and said, "No, succession is your destiny. Besides, it is impossible for me to leave the shrine."

"You don't leave because you want to wait for that phoenix?"

He was very irritable, so I had to patiently explain: "Longing for the phoenix is ​​the instinct of every phoenix fire seed. I only saw the phoenix once, so waiting for him to come again, you may feel stupid..."

"Then I'm just as stupid! How can I not understand because of the longing and unstoppable yearning caused by a one-sided relationship?"

He has always been grateful to me for saving him. I know this very well. I can only smile: "Prince, you have only known me for a few years. I have been waiting for Phoenix for hundreds of years. This is not just stupid, it is The meaning of my existence. But for you, the world is so wonderful, you will soon have a new sustenance."

Yan Ren listened, and laughed until he shed tears: "I'm too arrogant. I pretended to teach you to understand the feelings of the human race, but it seems useless. Phoenix fire, you still don't understand." He paused, and said to me Said: "Fenghuang Huo, don't underestimate us because of the short life of the human race. The depth of longing is not measured by life span."

We didn't talk anymore until the sun went down and I sent him back to the mansion.He calmly comforted the distressed servants as if nothing had happened.

I think he was relieved, but before he left, he said to me: "Fenghuang Huo, don't come to me again. Don't be surprised, I'm not angry with you. It's just that after accepting the Zen position, I'm afraid I will become a person who even hates me. people. I have no face to see you."

After he finished speaking, he shut me out of the door.
