[Peaceful Fantasy] The summer solstice has not yet come

Recently, a sensational event took place in Heian-kyo.A few days ago, a forest on the outskirts of Beijing encountered a fire, which almost razed the entire forest to the ground.After that day, no one saw He Mooming, the Chief Onmyoji of Heianjing, and No.1 Konoe Hikaru, the No. [-] Jian Feiwei envoy.Zuo Prime Minister Fujiwara Yukihiro and others sent people to search the entire Heian capital, but only found the remains of a broken bell in the remains of the forest.After exhausting manpower and material resources, the outside of Beijing could not even find out the news about the two of them. In the end, Xingyang had to reluctantly stop the search and announce the fact that the two of them might have passed away.Due to the sudden loss of two core cadres, the Southern Expedition plan was also stranded indefinitely, and the Fujiwara faction has been seriously injured since then.The Zajian faction, on the other hand, won over the neutral forces with overwhelming momentum, and established an absolute position in the court in one fell swoop.

Flowers wither and flowers bloom, spring goes and autumn comes, decades of life seem like a flash.Today, it is another year when the cherry blossoms are gone and the south wind is rising.On this day, Heianjing welcomed a new guest.Claiming to be a disciple of Kamo Hoshi, the unparalleled genius onmyoji Apei Seimei came from Abeno in Settsu country to the prosperous and prosperous Heian-kyo.Kamo House, which has been deserted for many years and overgrown with weeds, was named Abe House, and once again got a new owner.Today's Ping'an capital is already dominated by the Zama sect and Onmyoji Daomo.But with the arrival of Abe Seimei, everything will set off a new situation.

The past is the past, and a new page is about to open again.This is exactly:

The whole courtyard is not white snow, and the wind and rain force the flowers to fall.

In the blink of an eye, the clouds and smoke disappear, and the old body sighs at Shaohua [1].

☆、Seven changes at the end

The smokey wind in June, accompanied by the sound of cicadas, set off waves of heat on the road.

Under the shining sun, a bunch of golden bangs are reflected more dazzlingly.

"Ah—it's so hot—" the owner of the golden bangs couldn't help covering the sun with his hands. "Taya, haven't you arrived yet..."

Walking beside the boy with blond bangs, the boy with black hair called "Taya" looked ahead, "Ms. Kuwahara seems to have slowed down. It should be almost here."

"Sensei Kuwahara-sensei, after playing chess, he suddenly said that he was going to visit the shrines in Kyoto. As for the shrines, don't there are many shrines in Tokyo? I still want to drag everyone to go together..."

"Is that so..." Taya continued to walk forward leisurely without moving her expression. "However, I think it's a good thing for you Shindo."

"Where is it? I'm almost scorched." The boy called "Shinto" put down his hand covering the sun, tilted his head and looked at the boy next to him, showing a puzzled look.

There was an imperceptible faint smile on Taya's mouth. "Recently, your chess play is very bad, right? I think today is a rare opportunity, you should seize it and pay a serious visit to the shrine."

"Ta Ya Ryo!" Shinto was furious. "What tone are you talking about?! Besides, I have won all the recent chess games!"

"However, you lost to Mr. Kurata in last week's qualifiers, right?" The boy whose full name was Taya Ryo frowned, his green phoenix eyes were serious. "In that round, you obviously had a good start, but you slackened your attention during the robbery, which led to the final defeat. I told you a long time ago that paying too much attention to parts will only lead to failure, but you just didn't listen. I Look, let's go to the shrine ahead and pray for good luck, maybe next time we can get lucky because of luck."

"What are you talking about! You yourself are not..." Shindo was so angry that he couldn't beat him.

"Hey, those in the back, don't make any noise. Especially you, Shinto-kun." In the distance, a mature man in a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses shouted back.

Realizing that the two parties were almost arguing on the road, Shinto and Taya blushed, said "I'm sorry" and "I'm sorry, Mr. Ogata" and then fell silent.

Looking back, the person called "Ogata-sensei" pushed his glasses, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Well, Xiao Liang really cares only about the seventh-dan Jin Tengguang."

"Hehehe... Ogata-kun, I see you are smiling very happily. Did something interesting happen later?" At the front, an old man in a kimono turned his head and looked at the man named Ogata with a smile.Ogata suddenly felt a chill, and shook his head as if nothing had happened, and said, "Mr. Kuwahara, you must have read it wrong just now. I didn't laugh just now."

"That's right... oh hehehehe..." As if seeing through everything, the old man named Kuwahara turned his back again.Ogata pushed his glasses unconsciously. "The sharp-eyed old man..."

In the rear, Shinto Hikari, who was forced to stop, gave a fierce glance at Ta Ya Ryo, his opponent in the chess and tongue battle, as he advanced, as if to say: "Be prepared for me!" Stare back without fear.However, just when the two of them were at their swords and swords, a gust of summer breeze, accompanied by a unique fragrance of flowers, suddenly passed by their sides.As if there was a strange feeling coming at the same time, both of them saw each other showing a slightly taken aback look.

"Here we are. This is Seimei Shrine."

Among the green trees and flowers, a torii is standing in front of the chess players of the chess academy.The huge five-pointed star pattern is inlaid in the center of the torii plaque.Under the leadership of Kuwahara, everyone walked to the corridor ahead, and a second torii gate appeared, with the words "Seimei Shrine" hanging on it.

"Abe Seimei...?" Ogata murmured.

"Yes, it is said that this is a shrine rebuilt on the former residence of Lord Seimei. I am his fan." Kuwahara looked at the plaque on the torii with a smile.

Guang and Liang walked into the shrine with the people in front.The front of the shrine is the main body of the quaint building, and in the hut on the left hand side, there is still a portrait of Seimei from the Heian period.Except for the modern people with staggered dendrobium chips, everything seems to have traveled back to the ancient times more than 1000 years ago.A strange feeling permeated Shinto Hikaru's heart unknowingly.

Walking slowly, Hikari unknowingly walked up to Ema in front of him.Ryo also followed behind the light, watching these emas with him.There are all kinds of blessings on the painted horses, most of which are left by tourists from all over the world, and some painted horses can even be seen in languages ​​​​of other countries such as English and Chinese.

"Mr. Seimei is really famous..." Looking at so many emas from all over the world, Liang couldn't help sighing.

Hikari looked at the large and small emas in front of him.Suddenly, behind the entire Ema area, a trace of cool floral fragrance wafted over, attracting Guang's attention.He ran behind Ema, but found a small flower bed behind.

In this small flower bed under the sunshine, clusters and blossoms, like layers of small umbrellas, and magnificent flowers like small hydrangeas are growing happily here.Curiously, the colors of the flowers vary.Some corollas are bright yellow with a layer of orange-red underneath; some corollas are snow-white with a layer of crimson underneath.The staggered bright colors warm people's hearts like sunshine.

"This is..." Liang, who followed behind Guang, couldn't help being stunned when he saw the beautiful scenery in front of him.Uncontrollably, something in my heart gradually rose.

In this small corner of Seimei Shrine where there was no one, Shinto Hikari and Toya Ryo felt a faint sense of happiness in their hearts at the same time.Time seemed to stand still.I don't know where it came from, and I don't know when it will disappear. The two of them just stood quietly in front of the swaying flowers and the scent of the fragrance, feeling this magical gift that travels through time and space. .

"Ah, you two, this is a plant whose scientific name is Lantana." From behind, the voice of a staff member of the shrine suddenly appeared.

"Lantana?" Walking out of the strange feeling, Guang looked at the staff with some doubts.

"Its scientific name is Lantana. This is a transliteration of the Latin name. It's very beautiful." The staff continued to answer.The staff member took a look at these plants called lantana, and seemed to be healed by its beauty.

"Indeed...very beautiful..." Ryo Taya looked at these plants and said in a low voice.

"Do you know? Actually, it's incredible that this plant appears here." Seeing that the two tourists seemed to be very interested in these flowers, the staff also became interested and explained the reason for the growth of these flowers Come. "Lantana is a plant that is native to the tropics and belongs to the southern country, but for some reason, it grew in the shrine. At first they were like wildflowers, growing in the gaps around the floor nearby, and then we transplanted them to But, everyone still doesn't understand why they appear here... Maybe it's because of Lord Seimei's special power."

"Excuse me...does this plant have a name?" Ryo Taya asked the staff.

"Yes." The staff replied with a smile. "Because these flowers are layered on top of each other, the color of the flowers will change with the blooming time, which is very incredible, so the name is also called "Seven Changes". "

"That's right...it's such a beautiful name...thank you." Ta Yaliang thanked the staff with a smile.

"Hey—Shinto—would you like to pray together—" In the distance, the energetic voices of his companion and Gu suddenly came.

Seeing Shinto, Taya stared blankly at Seven Variations, and said, "Shinto? Someone is calling you." Hikaru still stared blankly at the beautiful flowers.Seeing the light, Taya's expression was still dull, and he was also a little worried, so he called softly: "Shinto? Jinto? What's wrong?"

Hearing Taya's call, Hikari came back to his senses.

"Ah, Taya—I'm fine," Shinto Hikaru turned his head.In the sun, he showed a unique bright smile:

"Just a little bit sad."

☆、Abe Seimei

My name is Abe Seimei.

I was born in Abeno, Settsu Province.My father is Abe Yasuna, a daizen doctor, and my mother is a fox fairy named Kuzuha.When I was five years old, I accidentally saw the prototype of my mother, so my mother had to leave this world forever and return to Shinta no Mori. When I was 12 years old, relying on the Waka left by my mother and my special ability, I crossed the barrier outside the Shinta Forest and came to the Futian Cave belonging to the Fox Fairy.There, I not only reunited with my mother, but also met her clansmen, and a human named Kamo Hoshi.To be honest, he used to be a well-known onmyoji in Heian capital, but he was hunted down by the head of the family and his wife and children were separated.Fortunately, he was rescued by the fox fairy clan where his dead wife belonged to, so he was lucky enough to get his life back.Under the magic of the fox fairy clan, although he survived, he had to rely on Shinta no Mori's aura to survive, and could never enter the human world again.

Since then, I have worshiped Baoshi as my teacher and devoted myself to learning Yin-Yang Dao.Baoshi praised me as a rare genius in the world, and he tried his best to teach me, but he didn't allow me to reveal my identity as an onmyoji to the outside world before the fire was ready, and I followed them one by one.Since that year, I have come and gone between the human world and the forest of Shinta, sometimes bringing news from the outside world to Baoshi and the fox fairies in the forest.

Knowing the tragic past of Master's family, I promised Master to keep an eye on his son He Maoming's news for him.Time flies by like a bird flying in front of the mirror lake.In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.I have grown from a child to a young man, but I have never heard any information about He Maoming.I once suggested that I go to Beijing to become an official and look for He Maoming by the way, but I was rejected by Baoshi on the grounds that "the practice is not yet ready".Finally, when I was 20 years old, I heard for the first time that ten-year-old He Maoming made his debut as an Onmyoji.After informing Baoshi of the news, he didn't seem surprised.Even, he was not delighted with his son's gifted achievements, but showed a somewhat melancholy expression.

In that year, I finally achieved a small success in Yin Yang.It was also on this day that Baoshi said to me seriously: "Qingming, your talent is so strong that it has surpassed my imagination. In just a few years, you have almost learned all my skills. But this is not enough. In your I saw the possibility of becoming a top onmyoji. Seimei is not complacent. The Onmyoji of the Kamo family represents the highest level of Onmyoji so far. However, there is one amazing ability that almost no one in the Kamo family can do. Yes. Therefore, none of the onmyojis of He Mao's family can be included in the 'top' list."

"What's the matter?" I asked curiously, my heart pounding.

"Fantasy wandering through time and space. Changing fate against the sky and manipulating the future." Baoshi said.

My eyes widened in surprise.Traveling through time and space and manipulating the future, isn't it something that only God can do!

"Qingming, to be honest, the He Mao family is limited by talent, so far no one can control the flow of causality and time and space. But you are different. In you, I feel a talent that is one step higher than the He Mao family. For the power of time and space , you may have a special understanding. Of course, from now on, you can choose to stop practicing and go to Beijing to display your talents; but, if you want, I hope you can stay and spend a few years , Try to comprehend the magic of time and space and cause and effect. If you can achieve something, you will be able to travel through ancient and modern times and become the number one onmyoji that no one can match!"

Hearing what the master said, I, who like Yin-Yang Dao more than anyone else, feel my heart surging infinitely at this moment.Whether it is Heian-kyo, fame or wealth, they all seem so insignificant to me at this moment.

"No matter how many years, Qingming is willing. Ask Master for guidance."

After that, I practiced according to a predecessor's book given by my master, and tried to understand the mysteries of time and space magic, but I felt that the content was extensive and profound, and Baoshi himself was unable to provide me with too much guidance, so everything did not go smoothly.In the way of time and space, the first step is to achieve a small success, which is to obtain the ability to "dream". "Dream" is to predict the future through dreams.The second step is "changing dreams", that is, changing the future by changing the existing dreams.If you can do these two steps, the law of time and space can accomplish most of it.

Time flies, and for three years in a row, I have achieved very little.Occasionally, I feel that I have touched the edge of another time and space in an instant, but I have never entered the door of "dream".At the same time, He Maoming, as a new star of a talented Onmyoji, has shined in Ping'an capital, forming a stark contrast with me.Just when I was a little discouraged and even began to doubt my ability, things took a huge turn in the fourth year.On that day, a gigantic moon that had never been seen before hung in the sky, coinciding with the Tiangou eclipse of that year.Under this rare and strange sky, I deliberately went to the valley where the spiritual veins of the clan gather, intending to try to break through again.

Something unexpected happened.Under the night sky that day, I felt my strength doubled.I started to form mudras involuntarily, and the air began to change accordingly.In a trance, I felt that the sky was changing, and the night sky suddenly became as bright as day.At this time, a vague figure gradually appeared in front of him, but he couldn't see the figure and face clearly.Just when I was confused, the other party seemed to have been waiting for a long time, he smiled lightly and handed me something.

"Please use it well...and...thank you..."

In the vague echo, I felt my whole body fall backwards.

The moment I opened my eyes again, the black sky woke me up.The entire sky and the earth are dark, and the tengu has eaten up the moon.During this period of staged celestial phenomena, I seemed to have had a dream; now, I have returned to reality again.In an instant, I realized what I seemed to be holding in my hands.Under the dark night sky, I found that what I was holding in my hand was a scroll of letters.After returning home and reading it in detail, I found that this book actually records the essence of how to practice the law of traveling through time and space. Compared with the traditional magic content, the practitioner here expounds and records his own experience and experience. It complements the scrolls that Baoshi gave me.After reading, the original unknown force is all clear.

Holding the letter, I feel ecstatic.I am very sure that this time it must be because I touched the corner of the time-space spell and successfully met the help of experts from other time-spaces, thus obtaining this bamboo slip.After I told Master Baoshi, he was also very happy.With the help of this bamboo slip, Master also began to try to comprehend the way of time and space. However, due to his talent and body, his progress was not as good as mine, but he still made some progress.As for me, relying on this booklet, in less than two years, I finally broke through the threshold of small success in the Dao of Time and Space.In the past two years, I have been very grateful to the senior who gave me a helping hand, but I didn't understand the meaning of his last sentence "thank you".

At the end of the fifth year, I realized my first "dream".However, the content of this dream made me feel puzzled...

In the dream, in front of him was an ancient house that he had never seen before.In the yard of the house, stood two teenagers I had never seen before.A young man with blond forehead hair and a clean face is rare in his life; he holds a lifeless young man in his arms, with long black hair, eyes closed tightly, and blood stains all over his body, but he still can't stop him from being elegant and graceful. Lian's dusty temperament.At this moment, the eyes of the blond-haired boy were already dead silent. He just quietly hugged the dead boy with black hair. After walking a few steps into the yard, a stream of blood spilled from his mouth and fell to the ground. Just like a boy, there was no more sound.Only then did I realize that the blond-haired boy had actually been seriously injured.He and the young man with black hair seemed to have a deep bond, seeing the young man with black hair passed away, he lost vitality in his heart, stimulated his pulse, and went with him together.

Although I didn't know the two of them before, seeing these two beautiful teenagers die one after another makes me feel sad.Especially that young man with black hair always gave me a faint sense of familiarity. His passing seemed to give me the feeling of a lost relative.

The next day, I woke up from my dream.The sky was bright, and it was another sunny day.My heart is full of sadness.I never thought that my first "dream" was such a sad future.However, I understand very clearly that what the "dream" shows is the truth.Even if it is not now, one day, that pair of strange teenagers will wither away in this world.

At this moment, my heart is shaking.As if by fate, the first future I saw was a future I wanted to change.Although I have worked so hard and finally reached the threshold of the Dao of Time and Space, I have deeply felt the pain of only being able to "dream" but not being able to "change the dream".I realized that the practice of the Dao of Time and Space is a road that has no retreat—if you can only predict future tragedies, what is the difference from the audience standing by?

At this time, in order to continue to pursue the ultimate yin and yang, and to save this unfortunate pair of lives, I made up my mind to master "Change Meng" and change this miserable future.

On that day, I reported to Master the fact that I had successfully broken through the "dream" threshold, and told him about my dream and my willingness to further change my dream, even if I paid a price.Master looked at me deeply, encouraged me, and expressed his support for my decision to continue practicing the way of time and space.

So, while stepping up my practice of time and space spells, I wanted to inquire about the news about the young couple in my dream, but I didn't know where to start—the other party's name, location, and family background were all unknown.I tried to draw a portrait of the two of them based on my dream. However, because I was afraid of affecting the world, I hesitated and didn't show it to anyone.However, I became more and more skeptical that since these two people are so outstanding, they must be in the most prosperous Heian capital in the legend.

As if drawn by fate, less than a month after the dream happened, I went to the street to inquire about the teenagers in the dream, but I met Fujiwara Sakai from Heian-kyo.At that time, he disguised himself and taught others to play chess in the market, but I saw his magnificent appearance after the mask at a glance.Seeing how extraordinary he is, I went to play a game with him personally.I was quite confident in my chess skills, but I was easily defeated by Zuo Wei on the chessboard - Zuo Wei's chess skills were as peerless as his appearance.

Later, after I exposed the disguise, Zuo Wei and I became friends.He told me that although he came to Beijing with the secret responsibility of surveying the topography of the southern country, he actually didn’t want to do these things at all. He just wanted to use this as an excuse to wander around and search for famous chess records by the way.When I took out the portrait I drew and showed it to Zuo Wei, he asked me in amazement where I knew the appearance of these two people.Then, I learned from Zuo Wei that the boy with blond forehead was Konoe Kono, the inspector of Heian capital, and the boy with black hair turned out to be He Maoming, a genius onmyoji who was all over the capital, my master's son.I finally understand why I feel faintly familiar with He Maoming, it's because he himself, like me, is a child born of Renhe Xintaizhi Forest Fox Immortal.From Zuowei's mouth, the two people in the painting look similar to their current age, which means that the two will die soon.

The dream must be changed before the dream happens, and there is not much time left for me.I learned that Zuo Wei is Konoe Hikaru's go master and He Mooming's close friend.Therefore, Zuo Wei kept asking about He Maoming and Konoe Hikaru.But since the secret cannot be leaked, I couldn't tell him the truth, so I could only reluctantly seal the memory of his acquaintance with me.

After Zuowei left Abeno, I still told Master the fact that He Maoming was about to die.At that time, although Master showed grief, he didn't show much expression.However, the next day, when I saw him again, his black hair turned white overnight.He knelt down in front of me and begged me: "Qingming, I know that this may be difficult, but please use the art of time and space to save my son. In order to save Ming, I am willing to do everything I can What I can do." Master's plea made me even more unable to shirk the responsibility of changing my life.I simply left the mortal world and stepped up to cultivate day and night together with Master and Master in the Forest of Shinta.Unexpectedly, one day, a member of the Fox Immortal tribe told me that in the forest of Shinta, where no one had set foot, there were ordinary humans trespassing into the depths close to the barrier without authorization.When I came to the place where the humans broke in, the man had long purple hair hanging loose, and he was already dying from the miasma.My eyes widened: in front of me, it was Fujiwara Sakai who had left Abeno long ago!

I can't ignore Zuo Wei, I can only bring Zuo Wei into the residence of the fox fairies to save him.After waking up, Zuo Wei looked at me in confusion, and he told me that he always vaguely felt that he knew me, and that I had hidden a very important matter from him, and this matter was related to his love the lives of Christians and loved ones.Human beings who have stepped into the forest of Shinta cannot fully return to the human world. Now that Zuowei has come here, I restored his memory and told him what he dreamed about.Knowing the truth, Sakai spent the night alone in front of the waterfall in Shinta no Mori.The next day, he found me and told me calmly that he was willing to help me save Konoe Hikaru and He Maoming's lives at all costs.

As if by a magical fate, when the dream happened, first it was the master, then Zuowei, and the people around asked their lives again and again, which made me feel indescribable emotions: Konoe Hikaru, congratulations Maoming, what kind of people are you?

At that time, I remember asking Zuo Wei: "Zuo Wei, why do you have to save them at all costs? Manipulating cause and effect is something no onmyoji has ever done. I don't have twelve opinions on this. Even if you risk your own life, we may not be able to succeed in the end."

Zuo Wei smiled lightly, and his appearance was as magnificent as ever: "Qingming, you know it too. For me, it is my lifelong dream to pursue the 'hand of God'. But the lives of Qingming, Aguang and Master Ming are more important than mine. Dreams are more important things. And," Zuowei's beautiful purple eyes looked into mine. "Qingming, I believe in you, you will definitely be able to change the tragic fate of the book, and make Ah Guang and Lord Ming happy."

Since then, Zuo has given up his identity as a human being and his own freedom, and gained power beyond the ordinary at the cost of becoming my shikigami.One month after Zuo Wei's first visit to Shinta no Mori, I finally managed to deduce that the event took place on May [-] of the next year, before the summer solstice.In order to prepare to change my dream, I practiced desperately, and Master Baoshi assisted me.Zuo Wei returned to the human world again and ran around looking for treasures to improve my mana.During the busy breaks, we occasionally meet in the valley, and Zuo Wei will play a game of chess with me and Baoshi.

Me, Baoshi, Zuowei, each of us may have different original intentions, but in the end everything is to change the existing future.

In fact, "changing dreams" is very different from "dreams".People with the ability to "dream" will activate their ability to "dream" consciously or unconsciously under appropriate circumstances, which requires no external force; however, "changing dreams" is completely different.Changing the dream means changing the future. Since the dream-changing onmyoji has really interfered with cause and effect, in addition to requiring powerful mana as a support, he must also pay an additional "price" for modifying the dream.

For this price, I have broken my brain.At this time, it has been less than half a year since May [-]th of the next year. In this short period of time, we really can't find a suitable price to pay for the high conditions of "changing dreams" - we need the power of time and space, You must also have strong spiritual power, and it is best if your spiritual wisdom is already open... Since I can't leave the forest, I have no time to search. Zuo Wei is exhausted in searching for treasures to expand my mana. I really don't know how to find the price.

One day, Zuo Wei was going out in the human world, and I revealed to Baoshi my troubles.At this moment, Baoshi very calmly put forward a proposal to change his dream with his own life and soul.

Unacceptable, I strongly opposed Master's proposal.But the master with gorgeous hair stared at me, and said slowly: "My wife Su Ye, she died to protect Ming. Now, I am alive, but I can't even protect Ming's life. How should I face her?" ? How can I be worthy of Ming, my poor child who lost his parents since he was a child?"

"but……"

Baoshi looked at me deeply, with piercing eyes: "I am an onmyoji with considerable spiritual power. Although not much, I also have a certain amount of magic power in the way of time and space. My body and soul must be able to meet the requirements as a price." Seimei, I have lived long enough. Even if it is my plea, let me fulfill my wish. Let me fulfill my responsibility as a father."

In the end, I failed to reject Baoshi's proposal because of emotion and reason.

The time is approaching little by little, and we worked hard, and finally made all the preparations in May of the next year.Before everything started, in order to prevent accidents after casting the spell, I disregarded Zuowei's objection and canceled the contract between the two Shikigami, and injected part of my spiritual power into an ancient chessboard.Then, I relocated Zuowei's soul here, and Zuowei became a free spirit living attached to the chessboard.

That year, I was 27 years old, and He Maoming and Konoe Hikaru were 17 years old.

On the night of May [-]th, the three of us gathered in front of the sacrificial altar that had been prepared.The sacrificial altar is located in the deepest part of Shinta no Mori.There is a beautiful valley there.In this valley, the spiritual veins of Shinta no Mori gather.Looking at the crescent moon tonight, I deeply understand that if this matter is really successful, not only will Konoe Hikaru and He Maoming be saved, but I will also truly change my fate against the sky and become an unrivaled man from ancient times to the present. Onmyoji.

It's almost time.I stood on the magic circle that had been drawn before the altar, closed my eyes, united my mind and mind, and began to chant slowly.On a windless night, suddenly a strong wind blew up.Dedicated to communicating with time and space, I already feel that the present world has become blurred, and time and space are gradually becoming within reach in front of me.At this moment, the power in the valley was attracted by me from the veins of the earth, and gradually gathered on my body.

Gradually, in front of the altar, an indistinct gate gradually appeared in front of us from the invisible air.The vague white light is constantly swallowing, as if waiting for something to inject.As if sensing something, Baoshi smiled slightly and stood in front of the vague door.

"I, Kamo Hoshi, would like to use my body as a price to open the door to the dream world."

The closed door suddenly emitted rays of light, surrounding Baoshi.As if recognized, Baoshi exuded a faint light and gradually became transparent.

"Please... Seimei..."

Smiling relievedly, after looking at Sakai and me, Kamo Hoshimi, the once famous onmyoji in the capital, my respected master, former husband, and current father, finally disappeared without a trace in front of the gate of the dreamland .

Both Zuo Wei and I tried our best to suppress our grief.Before tense moments, we must keep calm, any emotion is superfluous and dangerous.

Soon, the price was paid, and the closed door gradually opened to me.

There is the place of "changing dreams" - the world of dreams.I floated up gently, and after I exchanged a glance with Zuo Wei, my soul came out of my body, and I entered the gate in the body of a spirit body.

I walk through the world of dreams.Countless stories, worlds, causes and effects are intertwined around me.After searching for a long time, finally, I saw the story.The story I have seen, that will happen tomorrow, in Heian-kyo in this world, is an established fact.

Like a light butterfly, I flew towards that dream.For a split second, I felt like I had passed through an invisible wall and dropped into a real place.The surrounding sky is extremely quiet, and the stars are twinkling.The air is filled with the aroma of real hydrangeas after the rain.In the He Mao Mansion below, the ding-dong sound of adding water was so clear.At this moment, Konoe Guang was holding He Maoming, who was dying, and walked forward.Floating in the air, I concentrated on holding my breath and began to make mudras.A pentagram formation glowing with white light appeared in front of me, like a curtain wall.I landed the magic circle in front of the dimly lit courtyard.

please...please go over...all my wishes...

I close my eyes.Start dreaming, start to continue to create new dreams...

In the dream, I saw Konoe Guang leading He Maoming across the curtain wall.On the other side of the wall is the Xintai Forest surrounded by green valleys and spring water.Zuo Wei, who had been waiting for a long time, began to heal the two of them... and then...

By the way... then me... where am I...

The feeling of being uncontrollable hit me, and everything in the dream gradually went away from me, and then, He Maoming and Konoe Guang could no longer be seen.

My spiritual power and vigor have been exhausted at this moment, and I was forced to leave the dream that had already been built.As if being drawn and floating, like a ball of catkins, I was powerlessly floating in the dream world.There seems to be endless flowers blooming and falling around me, countless characters and stories, past and future, countless possibilities, flooding me like a tide, and I float and sink in it.
