Onmyoji Love Curse Volume

In Qingliang Hall, everyone stood beside the unconscious emperor, worried.

In addition to Seimei, Boya, and Baoxian who came here after hearing the news, there were also Nakamiya Niangniang, Kohuiden Nuyu, and three important ministers, Fujiwara Kanie, Fujiwara Shisuke, and Fujiwara Miyori.

Last night in the hall was the maid of Honghui Hall. At that time, the emperor had no abnormality, but something strange happened suddenly this morning.

It was already past the hour, but His Majesty did not get up for a long time, no matter how the maid of Honghui Palace called, there was no sign of waking up.

The maid of Honghui Hall thought that His Majesty was in poor health, so she hurriedly called for the imperial doctor.Unexpectedly, after some examinations, the imperial doctor said that His Majesty's breathing and pulse are very stable, and there are no obvious symptoms in the body. This abnormality is probably not caused by a disease, but caused by evil spirits.

So, the palace people hurriedly invited Qingming here.

Qingming took a general look at the emperor's situation, didn't say much, but ordered the palace servants to fetch an oil lamp, and took out a spell with the sign of bellflower from his arms, and placed it on the emperor's chest.

He raised the folding fan with his right hand above the spell, raised his left finger close to his lips, and gently recited the spell.

After about a cup of tea, Seimei finally stopped chanting, took down the talisman, and approached the oil lamp.

Unexpectedly, the originally bright red bellflower seal gradually turned black as if it had been dyed.When it was completely dark, the oil lamp suddenly went out by itself, and half of the wick was cut off.

Everyone in the hall was shocked, only Qingming and Baoxian looked serious.

"Qingming, could this be...?"

"Well, I can't be wrong." Qingming frowned tightly, "It's 'Xin Mei'."

"Xin Charm? What is that?" Boya asked.

"Master Boya, do you still remember 'jue'?"

Because of the presence of other people, Seimei still uses the honorific address for Boya.

"Ah, is that the kind of monster that can read people's hearts?"

"Exactly."

Jue is a ghost that can read people's thoughts and feed on them.It can change into any shape you can imagine in your mind, and guess what people are thinking.The person whose mind is said to be centered has no power to resist, and can only let the consciousness swallow all his consciousness.

Before, a Gongqing met Jue in a deserted Taoist temple, and his soul was absorbed by him, and he became demented, unable to take care of himself. Fortunately, with the help of Qingming and Boya, he eliminated Jue and regained his sanity.

"Does this feeling have anything to do with the charm you mentioned?"

"Xin charm also belongs to the category of 'feeling', and...is the most difficult one." The answer was Baoxian.

Qingming nodded: "The charm of the heart is born from the heart, so it can read the memory of the heart, trap people in sleep, and distort and change the memory, causing people to be confused. If we say that the feeling we encountered If it feeds on people's thoughts, then Xin Charm feeds on people's myths."

"Then...then..." Kane Fujiwara asked cautiously, "What will happen in the end when you meet a charming person?"

"People who are entangled by the charm will always be entangled in dreams, and it is difficult to get rid of. And people who are in sleep can't eat and drink, and will become weaker and weaker day by day, so..." Qingming sighed softly, "So in the end, I won't live for seven years. day."

"What... what?!" Everyone was shocked.

"There are worse things." Bao Xian said, "Xin Mei will keep looking for the next prey, like the plague, and no one knows who will be the next victim."

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, as if each had their own thoughts.

Only Boya was worried about the emperor, and hurriedly asked: "Qingming, you must have a solution, right? When you met Jue before, you also solved it smoothly."

"No, the biggest difference between heart charm and consciousness is here. Heart charm is born from the heart and has no entity, and the host often loses consciousness, so it cannot be cured by ordinary means."

"How come..." Boya sat down slumped, "Could it be that even Qingming can't do it for you?"

"There are only two ways to solve the heart charm."

"What, you still have a way."

Qingming shook his head: "I can't do these two methods. The first method is to go out with my own strength. If I can find the real body of Xinmei in the dream and overcome the obstacles it created All kinds of illusions can wake up from the dream. Not only that, but also save the people who were confused by the heart before. Of course, if they are still alive."

"This... can it be done?"

"That's the problem. Those who can do this must have a very strong and understanding heart, and can see through the puzzles of the heart charm. According to records, in the past hundreds of years, the heart charm has ravaged many times, and the number of victims Hundreds of people, but the one who woke up from the dream with his own strength was only one eminent monk named Master Jingkong. This Master Jingkong grew up in a monastery since he was a child. Human beings are full of distracting thoughts in their hearts, and they must have weaknesses, and it is almost impossible to get rid of the control of the charm."

"So... if an ordinary person is entangled by a heart charm, can they just sit back and wait to die?"

Fujiwara Shifu thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Qingming, you just said that Xinmei has ravaged many times. Except for Master Jingkong who relied on his own power, how did the other times end? If you just let it go, I am afraid that the people in the capital are already finished..."

"This is the second method I mentioned." Qingming lowered her voice with a heavy tone, "This method is... to kill the last person who is bewitched by the heart charm."

Everyone suddenly opened their eyes wide.

"If that person is killed, the heart charm will also be eliminated. With this method, the previous person can also be saved, but the last person will definitely die."

There was silence in the hall.

It is well understood that, in the present state of affairs, neither of these options is practically feasible.After all, the emperor had a mortal body, so he might not be able to get out of the dream by himself, and of course it was impossible for someone to kill him.

But in doing so, not only is the emperor's life at stake, but it also raises the question - who will be the next victim?

Qingming glanced at it, knowing everyone's thoughts, and continued: "At present, if you don't want to be entangled by the charm, you can only try to avoid it. The charm will only appear in people's sleep, so..."

"This... is this telling us not to sleep?" It was Fujiwara Mirai who spoke this time.

"It's better to be safe."

"How could this be possible!"

"I will give you some spells to refresh your mind and try to delay the time. During this period, I will try my best to check the relevant classics to see if there is any other way to crack it."

The faces of everyone in the hall were uncertain, but after a long time, no one could propose a better solution, so they had to agree.

Then, Qingming ordered people to fetch cinnabar paper and pens, draw amulets and chant mantras, and distribute them to everyone.

In addition to these people in the palace, Qingming also drew a spell for each concubine and palace servant according to the number of people.It's been two hours since I've been busy for a while.Even with Bao Xian's help, Seimei was still a little tired.

Boya saw it, but couldn't bear it.When Qingming was about to continue drawing talismans for Chaozhong Gongqing, he couldn't help but stop him: "Qingming, don't draw any more! What should you do if you are exhausted?"

Qingming was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Boya: "If Xinmei really finds me, I have a way to break the dream, and I'm afraid it's not me."

"But……"

Boya still wanted to talk, but Baoxian took away Qingming's pen and paper.

"Your Majesty the Constitution?"

"Qingming, let me do these things. Don't forget, you have more important things to do."

Qingming glanced at Baoxian and nodded: "Master Baoxian said yes, then I will go back to the government to deal with the affairs, and I will leave this place to you."

"Well, don't worry."

As soon as Qingming got up, Boya stepped forward.

"I'll go back with you."

Qingming smiled: "Okay."

The figures of the two gradually disappeared outside the Qingliang Hall.
