Onmyoji Love Curse Volume

"It's already autumn."

On the porch of Qingming's mansion, Boya sighed while holding a wine glass.

Heian-kyo has officially entered autumn.

In the breeze that blows in the afternoon, you can already feel a bit of coolness.

The original emerald green leaves all over the mountains and plains have also begun to turn yellow. After a while, it will be the time to enjoy the red leaves.

Qingming leaned on the porch pillar, propped up her right knee, and while drinking wine, she listened to Boya's voice as if she were listening to elegant music.

"I heard from His Majesty today that he plans to hold the Red Leaf Festival in Arashiyama next month." Boya put down his empty wine glass, "As expected, such a season makes people want to hold a celebration."

"No, Boya, there's nothing special about the season itself." Qingming filled Boya's glass with wine, "It's the 'curse' that makes people want to hold a celebration."

"It's another curse..."

"Because people see such a season, they have the mantra of 'beautiful' in their hearts, and they have the idea of ​​holding a celebration. The celebration itself is also a manifestation of the 'mantra'."

"I said Qingming..."

"what?"

"Why do you have to have everything to do with the 'curse'? If you see a beautiful scenery, can you simply praise 'it's beautiful'?"

"However, everything in the world really depends on the 'curse' to run."

"Ah..." Boya pressed his head, "I feel like I'm going to leave my good mood."

"I'm really sorry, Boya." Qingming smiled, "But when it comes to this, one person is really full of worries."

"Oh? Who?"

"Master Sugawara Heisei."

"What happened to Master Pingshi?"

Qingming didn't answer, but just said lightly: "It seems to be here."

"Who's here?"

"Lord Pingshi. Earlier today, he called the people from the house to come, saying that he had something to discuss, and he must have arrived at the door now."

"What? But I..."

"Don't worry, I've told him you'll be here and he won't mind."

Boya was quite surprised when he saw Pingshi in the lobby with Qingming.

He has some friendship with Ping Shi.In his impression, Pingshi has always been full of energy and high spirits, a rare young talent in the court.

However, at this moment in Pingshi, he was haggard and his eyesight was lax, as if he had some serious illness.

"Master Qingming, Lord Boya, please help me." Ping Shi's tone was almost pleading.

"Master Pingshi, are you...?"

"If I don't see A-Chan again, I will really have nothing to love in life."

"Achan?"

Ping Shi calmed down his emotions and began to tell the story of the incident.

Things started half a year ago.

On that day, I was studying scriptures with the monks in the temple on Mount Hiei. Unexpectedly, on the way back, the originally clear sky suddenly became foggy.

Pingshi lost his way in the mountains and was at a loss when a woman's singing came from afar.

The singing was melodious and melodious, and Ping Shi couldn't help being attracted and walked towards the direction where the singing came from.

Beside the stream, Pingshi met the owner of the song.

It was a beautiful woman in a cherry-colored Tang suit.With a beautiful appearance and a refined temperament, she is far better than any noble lady I have ever seen in my life.

When the woman saw Ping Shi, she stopped singing and stared at him intently.

"In Shimosugawara Pingshi, I accidentally lost my way in this mountain. Could you please point out one or two things for me, Miss?"

The woman thought for a moment, nodded, and moved forward with Ping Shi.

She is leading the way for Ping Shi in front, her posture is elegant, and there is a delicate fragrance coming from her body, which makes Ping Shi's heart sway.

When he reached the entrance of the mountain road, Ping Shi finally couldn't help asking: "Thank you for your help, Miss. Can you tell me your name?"

"If I want to come to you, I will never see you again, so why should I know my name?"

"If I don't know Fang's name today, I won't be able to feel at ease, so I ask Miss to help you."

The woman sighed softly and said, "My name is A Chan."

After returning home in Pingshi, he couldn't be calm for a long time, and Achan's beautiful image and singing always haunted his heart, making him unable to sleep.

He decided to see Achan again no matter what.But he didn't know anything about A-Chan's identity or where he lived, and he didn't even know where to find her.

"Maybe she will go to Mount Hiei again."

Pingshi thought so, and planned to go to Mount Hiei to wait.

I waited for ten days in a row.At noon on the tenth day, the sky began to fog again, and Achan's singing sounded again.

Pingshi rushed there, and sure enough, he saw the beautiful woman again.

"After parting with Ms. Achan a few days ago, I missed you every day, but I didn't know where you lived, so I had to wait here every day. I know this is very abrupt, but the feeling of missing you is really hard. I don't know if Miss Achan will accept me. This piece of sincerity, come back with me?"

Every word in Pingshi was sincere, Achan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Oh, why didn't I miss all the love? I thought you and I would never see each other again, but I didn't know that you were so infatuated. In this case, I I will go with you. In the evening after three days, you will wait for me here, wearing a bouquet of evening primroses on your body."

Ping Shi was overjoyed, and after three days, he wore evening primrose and waited in place.

Sure enough, Achan appeared, and then went to the capital of Heianjing with Pingshi as promised.

Pingshi found a place for A-Chan near Santiao Road.Achan rejected the maid and servant arranged by Pingshi, insisted on living alone, and asked Pingshi to wear evening primrose every time he came.

The peace of seeking beauty is naturally followed one by one.

Every day after that, Pingshi would go to A-Chan's residence and spend every night with her.A-Chan's beauty and gentleness made his love grow unabated, and he wished he could stay with A-Chan all the time.

Until one night more than a month ago, Pingshi participated in a banquet in the palace, but at the end he found that he had forgotten to bring the evening primrose. Cicada residence.

Unexpectedly, when he saw A-Chan, the other party was crying, and said: "I was originally a maid in the 'Tiangui City'. I decided to sneak out without telling other ghosts because I was in love with you. The grass is to hide my whereabouts and prevent them from finding my whereabouts. But now they are finally coming to the door and taking me back, and we are afraid that we will never see each other again in the future!"

Ping Shi was shocked, and was about to step forward to hug A Chan, when suddenly a strange wind blew through the window.He passed out as soon as it was dark before his eyes, and when he woke up, it was already broad daylight, and A-Chan had long since disappeared.

At this time, Pingshi knew that what A-Chan said was the truth, and felt great grief.He ran to the place where the two met in Mt. Hiei again, but no matter how long he waited this time, Achan never appeared again.

Thinking of not being able to see Achan again from now on, Pingshi couldn't sleep at night, didn't think about food and drink, and finally fell ill in bed.

The people in the mansion were very anxious, and they invited various doctors, but the medicines and stones didn't work.

Yesterday, a sorcerer with white beard and hair and ragged clothes suddenly came to Pingshi Mansion and said to him: "I know where the 'Sky Ghost City' is, but I need someone's help to open the entrance."

"So he asked me to find Master Qingming." Ping Shi said.

Qingming's tone was rather helpless: "So it's that one."

"It's Ashiya Michiman." Boya also smiled wryly.

Ashiya Doman is full of onmyojis from Harima Kingdom. He is wild and unruly, but his spells are unpredictable, and he is very famous in Beijing.People with good deeds always compare him with Qingming, and he himself seems to be very interested in this, and whenever he gets the chance, he will pose some problems for Qingming.

"It is said that the 'Tiangui Castle' is in Mount Hiei, but the entrance is constantly changing. Even if you know where the entrance is, there are only two ways to enter." Seimei said, "One is to wear a treasure called 'Night Pearl'. According to records, there was one in the imperial palace during Emperor Huanwu's time, but it disappeared 150 years ago; Open."

"But Qingming, the 'Tiangui City' sounds like the residence of ghosts, right? What will happen if people enter?"

"There are rumors that everyone who enters the 'Sky Ghost City' will be given a chance to be tested by the city lord."

"test?"

"Those who enter the 'Sky Ghost City' must have something in their hearts. If they can pass the test of the city lord, they can get their wish. If not, they will be eaten on the spot." Qingming glanced at Ping Shi, "And after all, it's just It's an ancient legend, maybe it's not true. In any case, it must be full of danger. Lord Pingshi, even so, do you want to go?"

Ping Shi chuckled: "If there is no Achan, I would rather be eaten by ghosts!"

"Master Pingshi..."

"In this case, I will help you. Did Daoman tell you when to start?"

"Yes, he said that if Seimei agrees, he will wait at the entrance of Mount Hiei three nights later."

"Okay, then I will go to Mount Hiei in three days. It's just that Daoman and I have to cast spells at the same time to ensure that the entrance is open, so we can't enter the 'Tiangui Castle'. If you enter alone, it may be too dangerous..."

"Then let me go together too!" Boya at the side volunteered, "If two people are together, at least we can take care of each other."

"Thank you... Seimei-sama! Boya-sama! Thank you so much...!"

Pingshi bowed deeply to Qingming and Boya gratefully, and then left.

"I never thought that Lord Pingshi was willing to do such a thing for that woman named A Chan..."

"Bo Ya, do you know what the most difficult curse in the world is?"

"Why are you talking about curses again?"

"Because Mr. Pingshi is under that kind of curse." Qingming sighed softly, "Love is a curse, which pierces the bones and eats the heart. Even if it makes people painful and uncomfortable, tossing and turning, people who are under the curse are often unwilling to undo it. So , No matter how clever an onmyoji is, he will be helpless."

Boya said nothing, just looked at the courtyard, thoughtful.

In any case, the matter of going to the "Sky Ghost City" is settled like this.
