Onmyoji Love Curse Volume

"Qingming, what are you doing?"

Boya accompanied Qingming back to the mansion, but saw that he was not resting, but kept flipping through some albums, as if he was looking for something.

"Bo Ya, do you remember the conversation we had before we went to Ouchi?"

"Of course, we were talking about Gu Zang's purpose with the constitutional lord."

"That's right, Xinmei will entangle that man, which makes me have some guesses about it."

"Could it be...is this matter related to Gu Zang again?"

Boya was surprised for a moment, but did not pursue Seimei's reference to the Emperor as "that man" as usual.

"Ghosts like Xinmei usually only appear in places where there is a lot of resentment. The timing is too coincidental. I'm afraid it has something to do with Gu Zang, but it still needs to be confirmed."

While talking, Qingming took out a stone plate from the bookcase, on which there were many intersecting lines carved horizontally and vertically, and there were some small characters beside it.

Boya took a closer look, and it turned out that the stone plate was engraved with a map of the entire Heian-kyo.

"It's been a long time since I used this kind of stone disc divination."

"Divination? How to do it?"

Qingming took a small dish of ink, whispered a few spells to it, and then slowly poured it onto the stone plate.

Miraculously, the ink neither splashed out nor dripped along the stone plate. Instead, it seemed to be guided by something. It was divided into four branches, each flowing to each direction of the stone plate, and finally formed four ink droplets.

Qingming took a closer look at those ink drops, and sighed softly: "It's as expected."

"What does this mean?" Boya was puzzled.

"The place where these ink droplets gather is the place where the most resentment in Beijing is."

"resentment?"

"Bo Ya, take a closer look at the positions of these ink drops."

Boya looked at it as he said, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly shouted in surprise: "This...is this?!"

"That's right, you've discovered it too." Qingming held a folding fan, pointing at the ink drops on the stone plate one by one, "The first ink drop is gathered at the northernmost point, which is Chuangangshan from the map; and the next second A drop of ink gathered near Xijing, this location is no stranger to you."

"It's 'Yueju Temple'." Boya said.

Qingming nodded: "Exactly, and the third one is in Da Nei, near Qingliang Hall."

"That is to say..." Boya felt that his throat was a little dry, "It's all places we have been to."

"To be precise, it is the place we have been to along the trail of Gu Zang."

They first rescued the thief who was turned into a bone worm because of Guzang's spell in Funaoka Mountain; and then retreated to Yueju Temple to cure Mrs. Kiko who was taught magic by Guzang and became a demon; the emperor who lived in Ouchi He was attacked by the heart charm just now, and it happened to correspond to the position of the ink drop one by one. All these must have a lot to do with each other.

"What about the fourth drop of ink?" Boya pointed to the southernmost side of the stone plate, "This should be near Mount Inari, right? What did Gu Zang do here?"

Seimei was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Mount Inari is where the 'Shiraishi Shrine' was located 150 years ago, and it is also the place where the Shiraishi sect and its disciples were arrested."

"This... is this true?" Boya was stunned.

"According to the records, besides Shiraishi Zongbu and his disciples, there were many believers on Inari Mountain at that time. Both sides were killed and injured in the conflict. In the end, several people were arrested and hundreds of people were killed. The result was not without tragedy. It would not be surprising if resentment gathers in that kind of place."

"But what does that thief, Mrs. Kiko, and His Majesty have to do with this matter?"

"If my guess is correct, these four places are where the Ping'an Jingmai acupoints are located." Qingming pointed to the stone plate again, "I am afraid that what Gu Zang did was to place Shura orbs here to condense resentment, and then change the whole world." The energy of the capital. However, the original grievances of Funaoka Mountain and Yueju Temple were not strong enough, so he wanted to create trouble, and performed the "Bone Insect Art" on the remains of the thief, and taught Mrs. Kiko the Evil Falling Art. It is to let them murder living beings in order to achieve the purpose of gathering resentment."

Boya was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then seemed to realize something, and asked, "Wait a minute, Qingming, what do you mean by that, the place where His Majesty lives is full of resentment?"

"That's right, because it's the Imperial Palace, the resentment will be even heavier..." Qingming glanced at Boya, "You also remember, Boya, how much resentment that man has provoked."

Boya became silent.

He understood what Qingming meant.Whether it's Prince Zaoliang, Dao Zun, or Magic Horn, all of them are full of resentment towards the Emperor.

Of course, there is also the woman who used to come to listen to him playing the flute every night, because she lost the favor of the emperor, she turned from love to hatred, turned into a ghost, and finally passed away in Boya's arms.

And this kind of resentment, I don't know how much there is in the harem.

It should have been a symbol of nobility and magnificence, but it hides the deepest resentment of Heian-kyo.

Qingming looked at Boya, knowing that he was thinking of Yuji, and continued to whisper: "I'm afraid, Gu Zang also concluded a contract with someone who had resentment in the palace, and activated the Shura Pearl, which further aggravated the resentment, and finally attracted The charm of the heart is present."

"Then...if you find that person, can you save His Majesty?"

Qingming shook his head: "Once the Shura Orb is activated, it is difficult to stop it. The thief in Funaoka Mountain, Mrs. Kiko, and the man in the palace are probably just the introduction to activate the Shura Orb. Even if they are all retired now, it will not change the situation." The Qi veins of Heianjing. Moreover, although the ghosts like Xinmei are born from resentment, they don’t feed on resentment. Once they appear, there is no good solution except for the two methods I mentioned.”

"How could it be..." Boya said anxiously, "Then His Majesty's life will be..."

"Compared to this, there is one more thing that worries me."

"What is it?"

"The grievances in these four acupoints are already extremely heavy. I'm afraid that in a short time, the entire Ping'an capital will be enveloped in resentment. If that's the case..." Qingming sighed softly, "This Ping'an capital will become a purgatory on earth."

"...Then what should I do?"

Qingming didn't answer immediately, and after a while of silence, he said: "Although I don't know how far it can be achieved, if we can cast spells here and there to drive away some resentment, it should be somewhat effective."

"Then, without further ado, let's go."

"Bo Ya, I..."

"Sorry, Mr. Boya, I'm afraid Qingming won't be able to leave for the time being."

Before Qingming finished speaking, another person appeared in the corridor, who turned out to be a constitutional protector.

"My lord Baoxian, what's going on at the Qingliang Hall?" It was Boya who asked.

"Your Majesty is still the same, but he finally calmed everyone down temporarily, but I don't know how long he can last."

Not to mention not being able to fall asleep, I have to work hard, and worry about whether I will become the next victim. No matter how many spells there are, I will collapse sooner or later.

"My lord Baoxian, why did you just say that Qingming would not be able to leave?"

Baoxian glanced at Qingming, and the latter gestured with his eyes, so Baoxian continued: "Your Majesty's place may change at any time, Qingming needs to stay here and wait for orders."

Boya nodded: "That's right, it's true that I didn't think carefully. Then let me go alone."

"Actually, I also heard some of your conversation just now." Bao Xian said, "If that's the case, I can also help."

"Thank you, Lord Baoxian. Time is running out now, and I will trouble you with Funaoka Mountain and Yueju Temple. I will go to Mount Inari."

"Wait a minute, Boya." Qingming suddenly stopped him sharply, "I don't know where the treasure is now, it's too risky for you to go alone."

"Seimei." Boya stared at him, "Let me do something for you. Besides, this Heian capital is something I want to protect."

Qingming met his eyes, was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, but, you must bring this."

He took out a golden talisman from his pocket, a talisman that Boya had never seen before.

"This talisman is used for body protection. If you encounter danger, use it to ensure your safety. But there is only one talisman. Remember, use it with caution."

Boya took the spell and nodded solemnly: "Qingming, remember not to push yourself too hard."

The two stared at each other for a long time, Baoxian coughed embarrassingly at the side, Boya woke up like a dream, his face was a little hot, and he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Qingming looked at his back, feeling uneasy for no reason.

"Qingming, why didn't you tell Lord Boya the whole truth?"

When Boya walked away, Baoxian suddenly asked.

Qingming smiled: "When the time comes, he will naturally know."

"But I can see that he treats you..." Baoxian stopped talking and just shook his head, "Actually, although my lord father has passed on the mantle to you, it's all up to your own will, you don't have to force it."

"No, if things really come to that point, I will naturally perform my duties."

"Seimei..."

Qingming didn't wait for Baoxian to finish speaking, just smiled lightly and said:

"Because, this Heian capital is something he wants to protect."
