Onmyoji Love Curse Volume

Boya, as usual, sat across from the man in the white hunting suit.

The man handed him a bowl of wine, Boya readily took it and took a sip.

The taste of the wine seemed to be weaker than before, but Boya didn't care too much.

"Qingming, where is Your Majesty..."

"Well, it's all right." Qingming replied lightly.

"Really, that's good." Boya let out a sigh of relief, "But, Gu Zang..."

"That's fine too."

"Huh? Really?"

This surprised Boya, after all, Gu Zang was so deliberate in trying to harm Heian-kyo before that even Seimei was troubled.But this matter was actually resolved in such an understatement during the few days when he was in a coma?

"In short, I got some help. Now that Gu Zang has been removed, and His Majesty is safe and sound, don't worry."

"……'His Majesty'?"

"what happened?"

"Didn't you...have always referred to His Majesty as 'that man'?"

"You don't like me being called like that."

"That's what I said, but..."

Boya vaguely felt some discord in his heart, but he couldn't tell the source.Whenever he tried to grasp that feeling, his mind would become a mess.

"Don't think so much, Boya, have a drink."

Qingming smiled on the other side, and handed him another bowl of wine.

"By the way, aren't honey bugs here today?" Boya looked around.

"You wish she was there?"

"When we used to drink, she was always by the side."

"I let her go to work." Qingming said with a smile, "What's more, wouldn't it be better if there were only the two of us?"

Hearing this, Boya suddenly felt hot on his face.He hurriedly turned his head away to look at the sky above the yard, lest Seimei notice the wavering in his heart.

The sky was gray, with no sunshine or rain, which only made people feel a little depressed.

"The weather doesn't look too good."

Boya turned his attention to the plants in the yard.

Because of the cold winter, most of the plants in the courtyard have only bare branches, and only a few winter flowers and plants are still blooming.It’s just that for some reason, although their postures are the same as Boya’s memory, they always feel a little less angry, as if they were deliberately made by someone.

Thinking of this, Boya's head became confused again.

"What's wrong, Boya?" Qingming seemed to see Boya's discomfort.

"I can't say it well, I feel... my head is a little out of my control..."

"You must be overthinking and overworked, why don't you rest here tonight."

Qingming approached suddenly, Boya couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, he suddenly felt a burst of drowsiness, and the entanglement in his heart just now gradually disintegrated.

Finally, he leaned against the pillar and fell into a deep sleep.

"Qingming, can Lord Boya really wake up?"

As time went by, even Bao Xian became a little anxious.

"Bo Ya will definitely wake up."

"But..." Baoxian hesitated to speak.

Qingming knew what he wanted to say—today was the last day when the four spells at the meridians would take effect, and he ran out of time.

"There's really no way, can Lord Boya wake up earlier?" Bao Xian asked.

Qingming was silent for a while, then said: "Although I can't enter Boya's dream, maybe I can try to give him some hints."

"hint?"

Qingming sat beside Boya and began to recite scriptures.

Boya was awakened by a burst of voices.

When he gradually regained consciousness, he realized that it was not a voice, but the voice of someone chanting scriptures in the distance.

Qingming, who was originally sitting opposite, seemed quite dissatisfied with the voice, frowned and walked out.

A feeling of uneasiness rose in Boya's heart, and he followed immediately.

Outside the door of Qingming's mansion, there stood a man in black clothes and a bamboo hat whose face could not be seen clearly.It is he who is constantly chanting the scriptures.

"All appearances are illusory. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata."

"This is..."Diamond Sutra"?" Boya asked in surprise.

Qingming seemed to be very disgusted with this unexpected guest, and said angrily, "Who are you? Why are you here?!"

The man did not answer, but continued to read: "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles. They are like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such."

It is still a verse in the "Diamond Sutra", does it have any meaning?

Boya was still thinking, but Qingming beside him had already started chanting a mantra, as if to attack the man.

"Qingming, what are you doing?!" Boya was shocked.

"Bo Ya, you can see clearly, he is a ghost."

"Demon... ghost?!"

Boya looked at the man again, and sure enough, the man's body shape began to change, from the figure of an adult man to a giant spider with a human face, which looked very frightening.

However, the man seemed unaware of this, and continued to read to Boya: "Sariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and the same is true for perception and awareness."

This time I was not reciting the Diamond Sutra, but the Heart Sutra.

Boya felt that the man who turned into a spider seemed to be chanting scriptures towards him on purpose, and he couldn't help but froze in place in surprise.

Seimei couldn't take it anymore, cast a spell and set fire to the spider.

"Bodhisattva, according to Prajna Paramita, there is no hindrance in the heart; no hindrance, no terror, far away from reversed dreams, and ultimate Nirvana. All Buddhas of the three times, according to Prajna Paramita..."

The spider was quickly swallowed by the flames, and its limbs and body gradually turned into ashes, but he didn't seem to notice any pain, and continued to chant sutras in the direction of Boya until he was completely burned to the ground.

Seeing that the spider was dead, Qingming felt relieved, and was about to turn around to go back, but saw Boya standing where he was thinking.

"What's the matter, Boya? Now that the ghosts are gone, let's go back to drink."

"The man... why did he recite those scriptures?"

"That's just a way for demons to deceive people."

"Bewitching people...?" Boya thought for a while, "No, that's not the case."

"What did you say?"

Boya didn't answer, but asked, "Qingming, why did you kill him just now?"

"As an onmyoji, I will naturally retreat when I see ghosts. Is there something wrong?"

Boya shook his head: "No, you... are not Qingming!"

"What's wrong, Seimei? Is something wrong?"

Qingming suddenly stopped reciting scriptures, making Baoxian a little confused.

"Stopped by the 'Xin Charm', no matter what I say now, Boya probably won't be able to hear it."

"This 'heart charm' is really cunning." Baoxian frowned, "But then, Mr. Boya's consciousness should be with the real body of 'heart charm' right now?"

"It should be so."

"That's really dangerous, I don't know if Master Boya can handle it..."

"If you are Boya, you will definitely understand my prompt."

Baoxian didn't have time to ask, but the four charms that Qingming placed beside him suddenly started to turn black.The black air quickly covered the entire spell, and finally tore it into pieces.

"This is……?!"

Both of them knew what this meant.

The spells on the four acupoints have been destroyed, resentment has gathered, and the barrier of the four gods has failed.That is to say——

"Really? It seems that this day has finally come."

Qingming's tone was very calm, but Baoxian looked at him with some unbearable.

"Seimei..."

"Lord Baoxian, although it is very rude to do so, can I have a few words with Boya alone?"

Baoxian looked at Qingming, then at Boya, sighed softly, got up and left the room without saying anything.

Qingming turned her head and looked at Boya who was still asleep, her expression became very soft.

"I originally wanted to wait for you to wake up before saying goodbye, but now it seems it's too late." Qingming said softly, "However, that's fine, if you were awake at this moment, you would definitely not agree to this matter. "

The room was silent, no one answered Qingming, only him talking to himself.

"However, I have to apologize to you. I knew your feelings for me early tomorrow, but I haven't been able to respond to you. Probably, I have expected this day... I'm sorry, Boya."

"Actually, when I received the red leaf with Waka printed on it, I was very happy. Because my heart for you has always been the same."

"You once said that the real 'love' should start from the other party, without considering your own gains and losses. Even if the other party cannot respond, you can give without complaint or regret. But what you don't know is that you have already Put that 'love spell' on me."

"Bo Ya, only you are the 'curse' that can bind me, Abe Seimei, and I am willing to do so."

"So, this Heian capital that you cherish, I am willing to protect it for you."

"I hope that you can live in this Heian capital with peace of mind. If you can occasionally think of the time we used to spend together when you drink in the future, it will be enough."

"Goodbye, Boya."

Qingming stared at Boya affectionately for a long time, and finally got up and left.

When he walked out of the house, he immediately saw Bao Xian waiting outside.

"Seimei..."

Baoxian had a lot to say, but he was stuck in his chest and didn't know where to start.

Qingming responded with a smile: "I don't need to say anything, I understand, it's just Boya... I'll leave it to you, brother."

After saying this, Seimei left without looking back.

The white figure quickly disappeared into the night.

"Bo Ya, why do you say I'm not Qingming?"

"The few scriptures and verses that the man recited just now actually have the same meaning..." Boya looked at Qingming in front of him, "Just don't be fooled by appearances, so that you can get rid of the confusion in your heart and see your nature clearly. .”

"Oh?"

"More importantly, Qingming respects all things in the world and knows how to obey the laws of nature. He is definitely not an indifferent person who hurts creatures at will. It is impossible to use this method to repel demons and ghosts."

"What you said is just speculation after all."

Qingming approached Boya step by step.

"I remember everything between us, Boya. We met in the palace, and we got together because we had to solve the affairs of the Kane family. After that, we became close friends, drinking and talking under the moon almost every night. Still We worked together to solve many difficult problems, have you forgotten?"

"I... haven't forgotten..."

Qingming got closer, Boya felt his breath, and his head began to dizzy again.

"Besides, I know that you have more thoughts about me than friends, Boya?"

Boya was startled, feeling even more confused.

"Actually, I am the same. As long as you stay here, you don't have to worry about me not responding to you anymore. You can get everything you want, and we can always be together. This is what you have always wanted Something, Boya?"

"I……"

With Qingming's face close in front of him, Boya was almost overwhelmed by the chaotic feeling, and the deep drowsiness struck again.

At this moment, a flash of clarity suddenly flashed in his mind.

"No...it's not like that!"

"what?!"

Seeing Boya suddenly wake up, "Qingming" showed a surprised expression for the first time, as if he didn't believe that the person in front of him could escape his control.

"Even if Qingming can't respond to me all his life, I will always be by his side. What I want to protect is the real him, not the false illusion born of selfishness."

When Boya said these words, he felt that the chaos in his mind was swept away in an instant.

But this out-of-control situation made "Qingming" on the opposite side start to panic.

"No... I... I am Seimei... You..."

"'Xinmei', I have seen through your tricks. Now, I will leave this dream and return to the real Qingming."

Boya took out "Ye Er" from his bosom and played it.

And "Qingming" also gradually revealed its original appearance amidst the music.The monster howled and struggled, and the surrounding scene was gradually shrouded in light.

When Boya was completely surrounded by light, the monster stopped moving.

Boya on the bed finally slowly opened his eyes.
