Onmyoji Love Curse Volume

When Baoxian returned to Qingming's mansion with Samana in his arms, it was already dark.

Qingming was sitting on the veranda, staring at the stone plate in front of him, frowning, as if thinking about something.

"Sunny."

"Oh, has Mr. Baoxian come back?"

Seeing Baoxian, Seimei's expression softened a little.

"I just came back from Da Nei." Bao Xian put the Samana on the ground and sat down opposite Qing Ming, "The person in the palace who activated the Shura Orb has been found."

"Oh?"

"It's a dresser. He has been in the palace for several years, but he has not been favored and has not given birth to any children. Seeing that the women who entered the palace later than him have surpassed him one by one. Bewitched by Gu Zang."

"It's not surprising at all."

"But Gu Zang obviously didn't tell her the truth." Baoxian sighed, "She originally thought that she would just cause some chaos in the palace, but she didn't expect to threaten His Majesty's life."

"Probably after we went there, we realized that we had been deceived."

"As you said, when she learned the truth, she felt that she had committed a serious crime, and she wanted to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake in Shenquan Garden. Fortunately, Samana was clever and stopped it in time before I arrived."

"No wonder I didn't see the Samana before. I think you left it in the palace at that time."

"That's right. I originally asked it to observe if there was any abnormality in the palace, but I didn't expect it to save a life."

Baoxian gently stroked Samana's head, and the black cat was happily licking its paws, seemingly very pleased with itself.

Seimei smiled and took some dried fish from the food plate for Samana.

Baoxian turned his gaze to a peach tree in the courtyard.

Because it was deep winter, the whole courtyard was a bit less colorful, and the branches of many plants and trees were bare, including this peach tree.

"Is there any movement on the seal here?"

"So far, there is no abnormality." Qingming said, "Compared with this, I am more worried about the enchantment of the four gods."

"I have cast a spell in Qingliang Hall, and sent people to Chuangang Mountain and Yueju Temple. Counting the time, it must have been completed by now."

Qingming looked at the stone plate, and just as Baoxian said, the three ink droplets on Chuangang Mountain, Yueju Temple and Qingliang Temple have all become lighter than before.

"I wonder if Master Boya's place is going well?"

Bao Xian looked at the drop of ink that pointed to Mt. Inari, and it also became shallower.

"It looks like it's finished."

Indeed, if the blot had faded, the spell had been correctly placed and was in effect.

According to this, Boya should have successfully completed the task, maybe already on the way back.

But why, my heart is so uneasy?

Seimei couldn't help but frowned again.

"Qingming, how confident are you in this matter?"

Hearing Baoxian's question, Qingming regained his thoughts: "The grievances gathered by the Shura orbs are very powerful. If you want to seal them fundamentally, you can only rely on the power of the four gods."

"According to the current situation, will it work?"

"I'm not sure." Qingming shook his head, "The veins of resentment in these four places have been formed, and the enchantment of the four gods has been weakened. My spell can only contain the resentment for three days at most. Within these three days, if I can find out the corresponding With the method of re-activating the power of the four gods, things will turn around."

"But if it fails, the four gods will completely fall into a deep sleep, and the enchantment will completely fail. At that time..."

"At that time, isn't there a last resort?"

"But Seimei..."

"My lord Baoxian, I have already made up my mind." Qingming shook his head lightly, interrupting Baoxian's words, "Besides, when I received the order from the teacher, I was already enlightened."

"But, is this kind of Heianjing really worth it for you?"

As soon as Baoxian finished speaking, Samana, who was lying lazily on the ground beside him, suddenly jumped up and kept barking in the direction of the courtyard. His hair was spread out and his tail stood straight up, as if he was facing an enemy. .

"Samana, what's wrong?!"

Qingming's eyes were fixed on the direction of the courtyard, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "It seems... finally appeared."

In the darkness, a slender black shadow slowly climbed down the wall and swam close to the ground until Qingming and Baoxian were in front of them.

It was a snake that was black all over, and its scales shone a little under the light of the lamp and moonlight.

And the snake's eyes were not the same as those of ordinary snakes, without pupils, just like the surface of a lake in winter, it was gray.

"Shikigami?!" Bao Xian was quite surprised.

Qingming looked at the snake calmly: "You are Gu Zang, right?"

"Master Qingming is right." The snake straightened up and spit out human words.

"Born with gray eyes and able to control black snakes, it turns out that... you are the descendant of the Black Snake Girl of Jiuzhisen."

"As expected of the number one onmyoji in the world, you can see my origin at a glance."

"I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to come to the door."

"It would be too impolite for the few of you who have bothered so much to find my trace if you don't come to greet me."

"Gu Zang, what is your purpose?" Bao Xian asked.

"Since you have cast spells on the four acupoints, you already know the answer, so why bother to ask?"

"So, what kind of relationship do you have with the Baishi sect?"

"Hehehehe, it's been a long time since I've heard this name from someone else's mouth." The black snake wriggled its body and even laughed, "Baishi Zongbu is my father."

"So, you really did it to inherit his behest..."

"Don't be joking, Lord Baoxian. The Baishi sect is just a fool who hopes to change the fate of the royal family through his veins and become a ruler." Black Snake continued to twist, "It was I who modified his technique, and I What needs to be done is much more complicated than that.”

"You just brought misfortune and disaster to this Heian capital." Qingming said coldly.

"Even without me, this Heian capital is full of misfortunes and disasters. In the final analysis, there is no difference between the world and the ghost world, the human heart and ghosts. You think so too, Seimei-sama."

"I used to agree with you, but now, I don't think so."

"Oh?"

"Even in this kind of Heian-kyo, there are people who always maintain the heart of a child. As long as he is there, this Heian-kyo is not so hopeless to me."

"That's such a pity. I originally thought Seimei-sama would be the same person as me."

"Gu Zang, I will not stand on your side, and I will definitely stop your ambition."

"Hehehe, then I'll wait and see. I'm just curious. At that time, will the person you mentioned still be alive?"

Qingming's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

"Master Seimei, we will meet again soon."

Black Snake didn't answer Qingming's question, leaving only this sentence and wandering back the same way.

Samana wanted to chase, but was stopped by the constitutional protection: "No! Samana, it's too dangerous!"

The black cat barked a few times in dissatisfaction, and finally gave up the idea, sitting helplessly aside.

Gu Zang's words lingered in Seimei's mind.

Reminiscing that Boya has not returned so far, his sense of uneasiness became stronger again.

Could it be that something happened to Boya?

Then, as if to verify his guess, Boya's entourage Junhong suddenly ran over from the main entrance.

Even though it was a deep winter night, Junhong was still running profusely, showing his anxiety.

When he came to the back porch, he knelt down with a "plop" and cried with his still panting mixed with tears: "Qing...Master Qingming, Lord Baoxian...please...please save Lord Boya, he After he passed out in Inarishan, he has been... in a coma, no matter how I call him, he still doesn't respond, please... go and have a look!"
