[Complete] Sibyl the Immortal

Yu Xi dove, no food mulberries!I am a girl, I have nothing to do with scholars!You can still talk about the procrastination of scholars; you can't talk about the procrastination of women!

Xiyang suddenly thought of such a poem.

That is a sentence in the Book of Songs, which is the lament of a woman who was coldly abandoned by her husband. It warns the turtledove not to be greedy for mulberries.When a man is addicted to love, he can escape, but when a woman is addicted to love, she cannot escape.

"Love, what is it?"

she muttered to herself.

That person once told her that it was a feeling that made people lose all hope.

But she never felt it.

"That is the most incomprehensible and unsolvable curse in the world." Qingming poured the wine from the Western Regions into the glass cup, and the blushing color in the glass cup was intoxicating. controlled things."

The white reeds sway gently in the autumn wind, and the blue-purple platycodon flowers bloom all over the courtyard. Autumn has quietly arrived here. The lake in the courtyard is like a sapphire, reflecting the blue sky.A gust of wind blows the coolness of autumn to every corner of the house.

"In this situation, there should be a good song to accompany it." Qingming clapped his hands, shikigami entered the room knowingly, and came out holding the piano, "Please play the piano for the autumn breeze, young lady."

Xiyang bowed and bowed, took the piano, and played Lushuang exercises.

The cool and elegant tune sounded in the courtyard, Yuan Boya sat beside Qingming, holding a wine glass in one hand, listening to it fascinated.

"Hey, Qingming, tell me...why is everything in the world always changing? I shared the flowers in this garden with you not long ago, but when I come back today, most of them are gone." Boya suddenly felt so emotional, " Does the human heart also change like this?"

"Yes."

Qingming looked at the white clouds flowing across the sky, and nodded slightly.

"Hey, Qingming, if you want to understand people's hearts, do you have any good methods?"

"Oh? Which lady made you so confused? Let me state in advance, if you want to know the woman's heart, I can't do anything."

"It's not a lady...it's like this. One night two months ago, when I was playing the flute by Horikawa Bridge, I suddenly met an old friend."

"Old man?"

"It's the one I told you before. I played the flute every night beside the Horikawa Bridge 12 years ago, and she came to listen to it every night. Although I don't know her name, but when I play with me occasionally, her pipa is really amazing. It sounds very nice." Boya showed nostalgic eyes, "A few days ago, I met her again."

"Is it the lady who wants you to come to me and cast a spell so that Mafa Narimura can beat Kai Hengshi in the sumo match?"

Two months ago, a woman once asked Gen Boya, "Can you let Mr. Abe Seimei use some alchemy to make Hai Hengshi, the right hand, come back in a big defeat?" But seeing Boya's embarrassed look At that time, he showed a somewhat lonely smile.

"There will be no answer to this kind of question..." The woman said, turning back the frame, "Forget what I just said."

"is her."

Boya's eyes dimmed slightly.

"A few days ago, when I was playing the flute at Horikawa Bridge, I met her again. But... she is a living soul."

"Living soul?"

Seimei sat up slightly, her expression seemed a little interested.

"She was begging me for help, and she said to me, 'Help me, Lord Boya.'...She asked me like this, but I don't know what happened, Seimei. Regarding her begging for help, I I am so ashamed to be helpless and helpless. Every time I think of her desperate look, my heart feels extremely painful."

"..."

Qingming put down his wine glass, showing a somewhat thoughtful expression.

"What you want to talk about is her business?"

"No, it's actually the other person's business. Do you remember, Seimei? That Fujiwara Toshiki-sama who supported Kai Hengshi's side in the sumo tournament. His recent situation is not good."

"How to say?"

"At night, my head hurts, my chest hurts, and sometimes my arms and legs hurt, as if someone hammered a nail into it. It's useless to ask a doctor to adjust the medicine. For forty or fifty days, Fujiwara Ji Mr. Shi lay on the bed all day, almost without water and rice, and gradually lost weight."

"So, to what extent?"

"It is said that in the past ten days, the pain has intensified. And it no longer hurts at a fixed time."

"Oh?"

"At first it was just painful when you were ugly, but recently it started to hurt all day long. It got worse at night. He seems to have heard someone say that I have a good relationship with you, so please let me come to you."

"Did Master Ji Shi remember anything?"

"Remember what?"

"Has he done anything to cause resentment?"

"I asked about that too, and he said no."

"is it?"

Seimei curled her red lips, revealing a sinister smile.Xiyang's song has come to an end, he raised his hand to signal her to continue playing.

"Actually, there's one more person who's in a bad situation."

"Huh? Is there anyone else?"

"It's Lord Jishi's lover. It seems that his body is abnormal at the same time as Lord Jishi, and there are some differences."

"Oh?"

"A pustule grew on her face. At first it was only a small one. It became red and swollen and very itchy, so she couldn't help reaching out to scratch it, and it swelled up and spread on her face. It is said that half of her face They all turned purple like an eggplant, swollen and rotten. Master Ji Shi thought that this woman was cursed by someone just like him."

"is it?"

Qingming thoughtfully tapped his palm with the bat fan.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"Are you going to shoot?"

"Since it is your request, I will definitely not ignore it."

Abe Seimei picked up the glass and looked at the wine in the glass intently.

"Next, I want to ask Boya to do one thing."

The wine-red light was refracted into his eyes through the glass cup, turning those eyes, which were not smiling, into a bright red color.

"Send someone to Guishen Shrine. I want to confirm something."

***

While the two were talking, suddenly a shikigami came up to deliver a message.

"Just now at the door, I met Lord Chanmaru. He said that Lord Boya is here, so he wants to visit and hope to meet."

Who is Master Chanwan?

A rare luthier in the world, he has a particularly high level of attainment on the pipa. He is proficient in the now-lost secret songs "Flowing Spring" and "Woodpecker". Yuan Boya once visited his residence for three consecutive years to listen to him play these two songs.

The blind old mage walked in with a pipa in his arms.This is an elegant and high-quality pipa. The flute is made of red sandalwood, and the patterns of phoenix and celestial maiden are painted in mother-of-pearl on the sycamore wood. where the wings are.

Master Chanmaru talked about his experience of getting this pipa.

Fifty or sixty days ago, a woman who visited the hermitage where he lived handed him the broken pipa.She said it was a relic of her late parents and wanted to keep the lute here.

"If this lute is repaired, what should I do?"

At that time, Master Chanwan asked the woman this way.

"If it is repaired, please hand it over to Mr. Yuan Boya."

"What did you say when you handed it over to him?"

"Let's just say... it was given by the woman from Horikawa Bridge."

***

Xi Yang stopped playing the piano at some point.

She came over and stroked the crack on Pipa's body.The slender fingers moved back and forth on the crack, and suddenly plucked the strings, causing the strings to emit a clear sound.She didn't know what she felt from the pipa, her eyes were in a trance and lost focus.

"...It's very sad." She said to herself, "Qin and Ren are both very sad."

The girl suddenly reached out and hugged the pipa, and looked sideways at Master Chanmaru.

"Can I borrow this pipa for a few days?"

"What does the little girl want to do?"

"Go to someone who can fix it."

***

Holding a pipa in her arms, the girl walks in this foggy forest.

She was wearing a pottery attire that was easy to go out, and the city girl's hat had long veils made of gauze, covering her face.Holding a lantern with the word "Yin" written on it in his hand, the lantern exudes a faint green light, glowing like a will-o'-the-wisp.

A huge monster stopped in front of her.

"Who is coming? Why come to this forest!"

"...to pay a visit to Mibu-sama."

"Mibu-sama doesn't see outsiders! He doesn't even see humans! Get out of this forest!"

When the monster roared, the hot wind from its mouth drove the insects down, and behind the fluttering black veil, the girl's pale face was revealed, and those crimson eyes watched him quietly, without any waves.

"Don't let it go?"

"How can you let a human break into our territory! A mere human wants to spy on Mibu-sama's majesty, see if I don't tear you to pieces!!!"

"Then there's no way."

The girl took out a piece of talisman paper, and the scarlet pattern slowly emerged, like a bloody mouth grinning grinningly.

"It's all right to clear away everything that blocks the way?"

...The process was too bloody and violent. In response to the slogan of harmony, mosaic processing...

"In short, I hope you can restore this lute. As far as 'I' know, no one is more skilled than you in this regard."

In front of the deity named Mibu who is in charge of this forest, the girl has no fear, and still has a creepy calm expression.

Behind her, all the monsters in the forest trying to stop her were brought down by her and piled up to form a road leading here.

The young god had a melancholy and beautiful face, and he signaled his subordinates to take the lute from her hand, stroking the broken groove of the belly.

"What a rough human being... This child is crying."

The girl was silent.

"Why do you want to restore this lute?"

Xi Yang sighed lightly.The crimson eyes looked at the upper god.

"Because I don't want Master Boya to be sad."

The pain of his beloved woman will eventually make his heart ache double.It is better for Master Boya to smile, such a sad expression should not appear on his face.

"So, at least in the end, it would be nice to be able to soothe the woman's pain a bit more."

It can alleviate the pain that Boya-sama feels for her misfortune, even if it is only one point.

After all, it was the only thing she could do for those two.

For that pair, lovers fooled by fate.

***

Bonding works both ways.

When you feel pain, the people who love you are also suffering from your misfortune.

So please love yourself a little more, and please live a better life, even if it's just to prevent those who love you from being in the hell you are in.

Xiyang still doesn't understand this truth.

However, it has been vaguely felt.

The author has something to say: Some of the plots and lines in this article are quoted from the original text of the novel "Onmyoji".

And Mibu is from "Natsume's Book of Friends".The spirit master of the forest.
