Onmyoji Love Curse Volume

When Boya woke up, he found himself in a completely strange place.

He clearly remembered falling off the edge of the stone platform before he lost consciousness, but at this moment, there was nothing around him.

Stone platforms, caves, ghosts, suspension bridges, nothing.

As far as the eyes can see, there is only a little fog floating around, and the distance cannot be seen.

He raised his head, only to see a gray sky, without the sun, moon and stars.

All sounds are silent.

This place doesn't look like a ghost city, nor does it look like the outside world. Boya is not even sure if he is still alive.

Could it be... Am I already dead?

Boya tried to move his body.

Originally, if he fell from such a high place, he would be seriously injured even if he survived, but at this moment, his body showed no signs of injury, nor did he feel any pain, only a tinge of warmth from his chest.

Boya took out the thing that made him feel warm from his bosom, it was Seimei's charm.

"Qingming..." Boya looked at the spell and whispered.

By the way, Seimei is still waiting for me, so I can't waste time in this kind of place.

Boya gritted his teeth, put the spell back into his bosom, then stood up and walked forward.

"Master Pingshi, Miss Achan, are you there?"

He called out to see if he could find them, but got no response.

Boya didn't give up, and continued to shout while walking.After walking like this for about half an hour, a shadow finally appeared in front of him. The outline seemed to be a big tree, and there was a figure standing under the tree.

Boya immediately rushed towards the tree, but when he saw the figure under the tree clearly, the joy and excitement almost overflowed his chest.

Because that person is really familiar to him - the face is like a white fox, holding a folding fan, wearing a white hunting clothes, always looking at him with a three-point smile on his face.

"Qingming!" Boya shouted in surprise and joy.

Although he didn't know why Seimei, who was supposed to be maintaining the magic circle, appeared here, seeing him in this kind of place was like a person walking in the dark suddenly finding light, which made Boya feel infinite hope.

He happily ran towards Qingming.

However, just when he was about to come into contact with Qingming, the figure of "Qingming" suddenly became transparent and gradually disappeared without a trace.

"Qing... Qingming?!" Boya was startled, staring blankly at the place where Qingming disappeared, not understanding what happened.

"Did you see anyone under this tree?"

Just when Boya was at a loss, a cold voice suddenly came from behind.

He turned around, only to see a girl about twelve or thirteen years old in black Tang clothes staring at him.

The girl's hair was like a waterfall, and her skin was extremely fair, like an exquisite doll, except for a pair of green eyes that were mature and wise that did not match her appearance, as if she could see through people's hearts.

"Excuse me... what is this place? I saw my best friend under the tree just now, but he suddenly disappeared..."

"This is Senluo's illusion, a place where people's hearts are reflected."

"Illusion?"

"This tree is called 'Magic Wood', and the phantom you see under the tree is the person you value most in your heart."

Boya looked back in surprise, although the phantom had completely disappeared at this moment, but he did see Seimei's shadow just now.

In this way, the person I value most in my heart... is Seimei?

In fact, there is nothing strange about this, Qingming is his best friend, and they have gone through life and death tests several times, so their friendship is naturally extraordinary.

But Boya always felt that there was something in his heart that was about to come out.

"Originally what you were looking for wasn't something from the 'Sky Ghost City', so you shouldn't have come here." The girl looked at Boya with her deep eyes, "But I didn't expect you to resonate with Sugawara Pingshi's state of mind and enter the world together with him." here."

"I resonated with Lord Pingshi?"

"Remember what Pingshi told you."

The girl's words were like a spell, bringing Boya's thoughts back to before falling off the suspension bridge.

At that time, he wanted to prevent Ping Shi from taking risks to rescue A-Chan, but what Ping Shi said shocked him.

"If you really love someone, you will definitely be willing to live and die with them, even if it is in another world, if you know that person will be by your side, there is nothing to be afraid of."

At that time, Boya just thought this sentence was very familiar, but now he finally remembered that it was very similar to what Qingming said to Qingming before he opened Tianyanto.

"Qingming, if you want to die, I, Boya, will go with you. Even in that world, with you around, I have nothing to fear."

Could it be because of this sentence that he resonated with Pingshi?

"Ask your own heart." The girl said, "What does the person you saw under the tree mean to you?"

"I……"

It seemed that something that had never been thought of before gradually became clear in Boya's mind.

The girl didn't seem to intend to wait for Boya's answer, she just shifted her gaze not far away, and said, "It seems that the trial of the Pingshi is about to be completed."

Boya, who was still in a state of shock, turned around numbly. Sure enough, the fog in front of him cleared up, and the figures of Ping Shi and A Chan gradually appeared.

Achan still looked like a ghost, she turned her back, covered her face and tried not to let Pingshi see her current appearance, crying and said: "Lord Pingshi, Achan is grateful for your true feelings. But I was originally a ghost, this is what I should look like. Now that you have seen my ugly appearance, we must not be together anymore, please forget about me! I will ask the city lord to let you go out."

But Pingshi was behind her, and said softly: "Achan, am I a superficial person who only cares about appearance in Pingshi? Since I am willing to go to this ghost town for you and give up life and death, it means that I have already given my heart to you. You, don't you understand what I mean?"

"But I'm from Tiangui City, if I can never leave here, will you stay here with me?"

"If I can be with you, let alone a ghost town today, even in the Underworld, I will be happy for it!"

As soon as Ping Shi's words fell, the surrounding scene suddenly began to change, the fog completely dissipated, and the originally somewhat illusory illusion gradually turned into solid rock walls and stone platforms.

It turned out that they had been in the ghost town all along, and they had returned to the stone platform.

And Achan's appearance returned to normal at this time.

The throne and the black-robed man were in front of them, but what surprised Boya the most was that the girl he saw in the illusion actually passed the crowd, walked straight forward, and finally sat firmly on the throne.

The black-robed man at the side saluted her solemnly, and said, "Sugawara Pingshi's trial has been completed, my lord."

"What... so you... are you the city lord?" Boya was surprised.

"Yes, I am the city lord of the 'Heavenly Ghost City'." The girl said lightly, then turned her head to look at Pingshi, "Sugawara Pingshi, congratulations on passing the test. You are not greedy for power and wealth, nor for beautiful people. On the outside, the infatuation with A Chan is really commendable, according to the rules of Tiangui City, now you can take her away."

Ping Shi was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, he excitedly saluted the city lord and thanked him repeatedly.

The city lord remained expressionless, and continued: "Achan, after you leave here, you will never be able to return to the 'Sky Ghost City', but since Sugawara Pingshi has passed the test, he will not let you down."

A-Chan burst into tears and couldn't speak, so she had to bow down to the city lord and kneel down to show her gratitude.

The city lord finally set his sights on Boya.

"Yuan Boya, although it was an accident that you entered the Senluo Illusion, you also got a chance to explore your own heart. Think about the question I asked you just now."

Boya's heart moved, and he remained silent.

"My lord, the sky is about to dawn," said the black-robed man.

"It's too time-consuming for you to go back the same way, so go back to the exit through this magic circle."

As soon as the girl's voice fell, a magic circle appeared on the stone platform in front of everyone, and the light emitted was very similar to the entrance when they first came in.

Pingshi, Achan, and Boya stepped into the magic circle one after another, and their figures gradually disappeared.

But at this time, the girl on the throne suddenly got up and walked towards the magic circle.

"My lord, why is this?" the black-robed man asked in surprise.

"The human beings who came to Tiangui City recently seem to be very interesting." The girl said, "There seem to be two interesting guys outside, and I would like to meet them."

Outside the entrance of Tiangui City, although Qingming felt the mana fluctuations on the spell again, he was finally relieved only when he saw Boya appearing with his own eyes, and blurted out: "Boya!"

"Seimei..."

Before coming to Tiangui City, Boya had imagined that if he could return safely this time, he would definitely talk to Qingming about what he had seen and heard there, and maybe they would have to talk all night long.But at this moment when he saw Qingming, he couldn't say a word.

At the same time, Ping Shi and A Chan also appeared at the entrance.

"It seems that this trip went well." Daoman grinned.

"Master Daoman, Lord Qingming, I did it! I really brought Achan back!" Pingshi announced to the two excitedly, while hugging Achan tightly beside him.

"Congratulations, Lord Pingshi, don't forget the agreement between us."

"It's natural!"

While the few people were still in joy, a young girl suddenly appeared at the entrance and asked in a calm tone, "You two are the onmyoji who helped them open the entrance, right?"

"City... Lord City Master!" Ping Shi and A Chan were shocked.

"Don't worry, I didn't go back on my word to take Achan away." The girl glanced at Qingming, then turned her head to look at Daoman, "The method of entering Tiangui City seems easy, but it is actually very demanding. It’s been 200 years since I opened the entrance. The two must be the top onmyojis in the world, so I couldn’t help but come out and see them.”

"The city lord is absurd." Qingming returned the salute respectfully.

"Hey, I didn't expect the owner of Tiangui City to be a little girl." Daoman was not polite at all, "So, you should have not seen a human being for 200 years."

"Oh, that's not necessarily the case." The girl said calmly, "Half a year ago, there was also a person who came in with Ye Mingzhu."

"What?" Qingming was surprised, "But Ye Mingzhu..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt something flashing through his mind, and then hurriedly changed his words and asked: "May I ask, Lord City Master, what is the name of the person with the Ye Mingzhu?"

"He said, his name is Gu Zang."

Hearing this name, Boya was taken aback, but Qingming didn't seem to be surprised, and continued to ask: "Then again, I would like to ask, Lord City Master, what is that person asking for in Tiangui City?"

"He took four Shura orbs from me."

"Why is this?"

"This is all I can tell you." The city lord said, "As for what this person is using for the Shura orb, or what the fate of this Heian capital is, it is your own business, and I don't care."

"I was being rude." Qingming apologized.

"But I can tell you one thing."

"Oh?"

"Compared to us, that Guzang looks more like a ghost."

After saying this, the girl's figure disappeared at the entrance of the cave, and a ray of light appeared in the sky, the magic circle under the two people's feet gradually dimmed, and the entrance of the cave on the rock wall disappeared completely, as if it had never existed.

"Hey, Seimei, what's going on with that Guzang?" Daoman asked.

"It's a long story, I'll tell you next time I have a chance."

Although Daoman was curious, since Qingming said so, it was inconvenient for him to ask.And he brought Achan back in Pingshi and didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he had to send the two back first.

Qingming and Boya finally boarded the ox cart for the return trip.

It's just that this time is different from the past. Boya always responds perfunctorily to Qingming's concerns and inquiries.Although Qingming found it strange, he only thought Boya was a bit tired, and what's more, the matter of Gu Zang also made him preoccupied, so he didn't investigate it carefully.

This was the first time that Boya was grateful for the darkness in the carriage, so that the people on the other side could not clearly see the emotions on his face.

But after returning to the mansion, he could no longer hide the turmoil in his heart.

The question of the owner of Tiangui City already had a clear answer in his mind at this moment.

Boya sat in the courtyard, looking at the autumn scenery in the garden, and muttering to himself.

"So... I've always... liked Qingming..."
