juvenile onmyoji

A huge ball of light hovers overhead like a moon.With the pear as the center, it illuminates the surrounding area of ​​40 meters.But the invisible area was still shrouded in thick black mist.

Listen carefully, the mist is surging and whimpering.From time to time, ugly faces appeared from the light, like monsters and people.Those are the resentments accumulated by shikigami for thousands of years.

Riko looked at Yamata no Orochi who was on the side.Facing the black mist in the distance, he asked himself, answered and laughed, and he had been fine-tuned for a while.

She always knew that Yamata no Orochi had another soul hidden in her body.Although that soul's voice was cold when he spoke, the eyes that looked at her were gentler than Master Seimei's.

Why is this?

Why does it always make her feel this way?

"Shimizu," Yamata said behind her, "I discussed with that guy, let's go inside. The changes of these monsters are very unusual. Let's go in and look for them, maybe we will find something good."

Riko looked back at him, Yamata straightened the mask.She didn't pull her long hair, it was just casually draped behind her back.At this time, put a bag in his hand, it is the person who goes out to trash in the evening.Casual and rambunctious.

"What's wrong?" Hayato Shimizu asked, "Is it too cold here? Why didn't you bring winter clothes when you came in, and your shikigami didn't remind you? The small black room is always cold, and it's made up of resentment and loneliness..."

"I think of a dream." Lizi said in a low voice, "In the dream, there was a person wearing a white porcelain mask, who came to the countryside of Jinjiang with my brother."

"Did you remember your dream from looking at my mask?" Yamata said with a smile, his voice was obviously much more cheerful than when he was with Tosaru before. "This kind of mask is sold everywhere. It's too common. Many monsters who don't want to reveal their true colors will buy one. I have a set of masks with twelve expressions."

"May I ask you a question?" Pear said.

"Aren't you already asking," Yamata said with a smile, "doubt that the soul in my body is your long-lost brother? Well, how can I evaluate your idea? It's very imaginative. But it's not realistic. "

"How should I put it, why should I merge with lowly humans? I am a god. Would you like to let ants live in your body? Unless my head twitches." His head really twitched.

Lizi frowned slightly, "Although this is a good statement, but..."

"But you think my kindness is very strange, don't you?" Yamata asked.

Riko nodded, "It's very strange. Thinking about it carefully, when you were in the Mirror Country, you obviously wanted to kill me. You grabbed my neck. But you let go suddenly. You cured Seimei-sama and let go Me. After that, I met many times. You can kill me easily, but you let me go every time."

"It's not difficult to understand," Yamata said. "I, when I was a little snake, also had a younger sister. I love that younger sister very much. I hope that one day I can dominate the valley together with her, grow tall and big and crowd the valley." Full."

"But later, my sister disappeared. When I saw you in the country of mirrors that time, I suddenly remembered it. I let you go. There is a second time after the first time. I get used to it. .”

"What's more, there's that kid Abe Seimei. Anyway, he's the legacy of an acquaintance. Take care of me occasionally and show my kind image."

Lizi blinked her eyelashes, no matter how it sounded, it sounded like a made-up story.Yamata no Orochi's reaction to her was definitely not what he said.

"Also," Yamata continued, "dreams usually reflect the heart. It can only be said that you really want to see your brother." Speaking of this, his voice was softer, "You miss him very much, don't you? "

Shimizu Hayato looked at her quietly.

"I miss him very much," Lizi admitted, "although I don't have much impression of him. But grandma always tells me about him. After listening to it for a long time, it's like he grew up with me. As the eldest son of the Qingshui family, he also Inherited Shimizu's characteristics."

"Very smart, no matter what book you read, you can remember it once. His swordsmanship is also very good. When he was young, many adults were no match for him. He likes to eat vegetables and not meat. He doesn't like to drink water, grandma Always use this to blame him."

Yamata looked at her with a smile, "So your brother looks like this."

Lizi nodded, hesitated for a while and said, "Grandma has something to tell him."

No matter whether the other party is what she guessed or not, she regards this as a hope.If yes, then she conveyed grandma's words to him.If not, that's okay too.The one hidden in the body of Yamata no Orochi must be a very gentle person.

Because most of the people who let her go are him.Those who choose to merge with the evil god must bear unimaginable hardships.I hope grandma's words can comfort him.

"What?" Yamata asked.

"Grandma said that she hopes that he can live well..."

Yamata no Orochi's aura changed slightly, from a gentle spring breeze to a sharp and cold aura.Riko knew that the person hiding in Yamata no Orochi's body had come out.

But he didn't speak for a long time, just looked at her quietly.Even though he was hiding his emotions, Lizi could still feel the sadness emanating from his body.

"That's it..." Yamata broke the calm, "Your grandma is really a good person. I heard that she died at the hands of a mountain spirit, right?"

"Yes, Lord Seimei killed it for me later."

"Well, go out of the little black room, and I'll take you to make a goblin nest." Yamata said with a smile.

"boom--"

A huge roar came from the depths of the black hole.The voice was different from that of a beast, and seemed closer to a human voice.

Lizi subconsciously looked towards the sound, and the surrounding monsters bared their teeth and howled towards the sound.

"The thing inside seems to be a companion with these monsters." Yamata said with a smile.

"Go in and have a look." Shimizu Hayato said.

Yamata lightly tugged at the thin thread on his wrist.He had a large handful of string tied around his wrist.Looking up along the thin line, it is densely packed with people like kites.

There are hundreds of people.Those are the shikigami they encountered along the way, and Yamata sealed off their five senses, preventing them from listening or seeing.Just like that, it was brought in lightly.

In the pocket of a shikigami, the puppet's head was exposed, holding a small bronze mirror and secretly looking at it.The copper mirror is connected to the outside of the black hole.The large bronze mirror of Yinyangliao.

A group of onmyojis of different ages were staring at the bronze mirror in astonishment.

"Who is this person? I'm not even afraid of those monsters? Is it Shimizu Rikako Shinto's shikigami?"

"What shikigami can move freely in a small black room?" Some onmyojis raised objections.

"Don't forget that she has Shuten-douji, Ibaraki-douji, and Daitengu. So even if she got an evil god as a shikigami, I wouldn't be surprised. Why does she look a bit like Yamata no Orochi?"

Qingming's eyes moved slightly, and the gloom in his heart suddenly dissipated.

Yes, how could he forget?Just talk about why Xiaoli suddenly came to the little black room.Hayato Shimizu must have gotten the news and wanted to make a powerful shikigami for his sister.However, does Xiaoli know who the other party is?

"Hachita snake?" All the onmyojis rolled their eyes at the speaker.

"Do you think Yamata no Orochi is a Chinese cabbage? He can easily provoke a fierce battle between the kingdom of the underworld and Gao Tianyuan. He is extremely cruel and can easily destroy a city."

"He messed up the Onmyoji Conference and made the Ise Forest into a large formation. He put the squirrel into Heianjing without blinking his eyes. He opened the eyes of the hungry ghosts. He used the red mirror cake to collect people's greed and put it in Heianjing Great Formation to test the crystals for himself."

"Although he failed many times, He didn't seem to care. He continued to do bad things easily. Well, if I remember correctly, the person who caused His failure every time seems to be Shimizu Rikako, right? Do you think He can Do you want to be her shikigami? I'm afraid it will crush her heart."

"Who could it be? Speaking of which, this Shimizu Rikako is really powerful. I heard that she is the priestess who was personally sent by Ebisu God. Therefore, she appeared more or less in many incidents of expelling monsters." The shadow of that god."

"Not to mention the Catfish God Earthquake, the Miko heard the voices of many gods in front of the entire Heian-kyo. In the end, Ebisu God Himself sent him to the bottom of the sea to trouble the Catfish God."

"Aren't we all there at the time? I saw Qingming and Qingshui swimming out. The catfish god also gave her a beard. Beard, that is the beard of the catfish god. It is said that you can find treasures."

Everyone was in a trance for a while, from ordinary people to witches, it took less than a year.Unknowingly, she has done so many things to exterminate the big demon.

Think about it carefully, what are they doing in so many incidents?It seems that every time Shimizu and Seimei finished, they rushed to the scene to express their admiration.

"Why are there so many shikigami flying above their heads?" Someone asked again.

Liaotou frowned, "Beiyuan, is there a way to hear voices in this mirror?"

"I can't help it." Bei Yuan said, "Being able to see the screen is already the best my treasure can do."

"It would be great if I could hear what they said." Liao Tou said softly.

Curious, this super strong man has the power of a god.I really want to know, how did Qingshui Lihuazi find such a powerful person to escort her?It would be great if everyone could get to know each other and bring that smell to Yinyang Liao.

"Ah, those monsters are rushing towards them." Onmyoji exclaimed for a while.

In the bronze mirror, as Pear and Yamata no Orochi go deeper and deeper, the size of the monster is getting bigger and bigger.It is different from the monsters outside who are afraid of Yamata no Orochi.The huge monsters inside began to salivate and eagerly tried to jump up.

"You follow me." Shimizu Hayato said, the part of his snake-like belt hanging down tightly protected Pear.The monster next to it tentatively stretched out its flesh-colored limbs like spiders, and was immediately pulverized by the belt.

And the monsters that tried to attack Yamata no Orochi were crushed one by one by him.For a while, the eager monster was suppressed.Yamata no Orochi turned to look at Riko while walking, and from time to time crushed some of the monsters on her side.

"Last time, on Time Island..." Lizi said.

Hayato Shimizu looked at her with a light "hmm".

"You didn't get the crystal. I remember Izanami said that the person in your body will die in three days. Up to now, it has been nearly half a month. Why are you still there?"

"You heard what she said, and you must have heard her say that if Yamata gave me half of my body, I would survive?" Hayato Shimizu asked.

"Yes, I heard it. Could it be..." Li Zi looked at him with some surprise, "Yaqi Orochi gave you half of the body?"

"That's right." Hayato Shimizu said, "So, I won't disappear for the time being."

"But in terms of strength, will it lose half as Izanami said?" Riko asked again.

"That's true." Shimizu Hayato nodded.

Lizi was extremely shocked by what she saw.Only yokai devour or abandon fused humans.This is a matter of exchanging half of one's own strength for the life of the other party.Not to mention being a god who survives by strength, even she herself is not willing to do it.

"Isn't that the only way for you to run away when you meet Izanami in the future?"

"Not necessarily," Yamata said with a smile, "Izanami is only measured by my previous strength. After so many years, I have to improve a little bit, right? So, whoever loses when I meet her again It's hard to say who will win. But the loss of strength does exist. The person in my body really owes me too much."

"Upper right." Hayato Shimizu said lightly.

"Okay." Yamata squeezed the monster that jumped down from the upper right, "These guys seem to have grown a lot bigger, and their courage has also increased. They dare to jump down."

"Looks like it's because of the one inside." Hayato Shimizu stopped and stood firmly in front of Li Zi.

Lizi sneaked out from the side and nodded, her pupils reflected the mountain of white bones floating in mid-air.Gray smoke rises from the cracks in the bone mountain, stretching bit by bit, gradually forming a shadow of a person.

It was a man sitting on the top of a mountain, wearing an orange sweater.With one leg bent and the other slung down, he squinted at them indifferently.

Because it was too far away, Lizi couldn't see his facial features clearly, but felt that the other party was faintly exuding black energy, looking at them with resentment.

The monsters that were about to move around seemed to be raised by him, and a few of them lay quietly at his feet, looking very submissive.

"You onmyojis really don't give up," the man said sullenly, "you actually ran to such a deep place. Tsk, the harvest is good. You have captured so many shikigami. It will definitely sell for a good price when you go out."

Yamata smiled and said, "It's a pity that we didn't find a powerful monster. I think you're good. You look like you're making a big show when you sit on it."

"What do you think?" Riko heard Shimizu Hayato ask her.

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

Lizi frowned slightly, looking around, "I don't know why, but I always feel that there are many pairs of eyes looking at me."

"There are eyes looking at you?" Shimizu Hayato glanced around, "Are these monsters surrounding us?"

"No." Lizi shook her head, raised her eyes and looked up.

"Which shikigami didn't seal the five senses?"

The man on Bone Mountain snorted slightly, "You suddenly do other things while talking to me, are you all onmyojis so rude?"

Yamata smiled and said, "Of course there are more important things than talking to you."

"More important than me?" The man stood up with an arrogant expression, "Do you know who you are talking to? Human beings. I am the owner of Mount Suzuka, Ogakumaru. Before I came in, the whole of Ise and Omi, heard me The name trembles. I..."

"Ah, there." Riko smiled, pointing to the shikigami above her head, "There is something reflective in that shikigami's pocket. The sight I felt came from there."

Hayato Shimizu stretched out his hand, and a bright object flew into his hand.It was a small puppet holding a small bronze mirror in its hand.His masked face was reflected in the bronze mirror.

"It seems that someone is very interested in us." He sneered and closed his fingers, and the puppet made a "click" sound and shattered into a pile of powder.

Outside the black hole, Kitahara Sosuke groaned and knelt on the ground, which was the treasure he depended on for survival.Usually when catching monsters, this thing is used as his eyes.

Liaotou looked at him with some embarrassment. After all, Beiyuan Cangsuke did not belong to their Yinyang Liao, and this time he recruited here specially to borrow his treasure.

"Uh, Beiyuan. Because you performed very well this time, if you are willing to work in the dormitory, you are welcome to come anytime."

Kitahara Sosuke felt better now.Although a treasure was lost, it was replaced by an iron rice bowl.At his age, it would be a little risky to hunt monsters.It has always been difficult to get into Yin Yang Liao, but I didn't expect to get in because of this kind of thing this time.

He couldn't help but look gratefully at Qingming, thanks to Lihuazi.If she hadn't found the puppet, he wouldn't have gotten Liaotou's guilt so easily.

Inside the black hole, Riko is asking Yaki no Orochi who Ogakumaru is.

"It's normal if you don't know," said Yamata, "Datake Maru has disappeared for nearly a hundred years. When he ruled Suzuka Mountain, he was indeed extremely famous. Even the ghost king Shuten Doji of Oe Mountain did not dare to easily invade Suzuka. Lushan."

"Hmph," Dayake Maru said coldly, "How is Shuten-douji? After I disappeared, Oe-san should be even more arrogant?"

"That's not true," Yamata said with a smile, "he changed careers."

"Transfer?"

"That's right," Yamata looked at Riko casually, "I've changed careers to be this lord's shikigami."

"Being a shikigami?" Otakemaru stood up abruptly, staring at Riko with disbelief in his eyes.

From the very beginning when the two came in, all his attention was on the masked man.After all, he pinched monsters all the way, so easily.So he ignored the little girl.

To be able to get Shuten-douji to be a shikigami, one must have the strength to subdue that guy.And you must have a very high personality charm, otherwise the big monsters would rather commit suicide than become shikigami.

"Doesn't he still have his subordinates? Where's Ibaraki Doji who is about as powerful as him? Didn't he come to take revenge?" Otake Maru asked.

"He's changed his career to being a shikigami too." Yamata said with a smile.

"Don't tell me, is this little girl's shikigami?" Otakemaru said in surprise.

"Yes." Pear nodded with a smile.

Dayuemaru took a light breath, looked at Lizi for a long time and was speechless.After a long time, he sighed and said, "These unsatisfactory things really embarrass our monster race. Even if you die, you can't be a shikigami."

Riko asked: "Why are you here? It seems that this is a place where shikigami enter. But you can move freely."

"Of course I'm a shikigami to enter this ghostly place. Although this place can lock me up, it can't restrict my actions."

Otakemaru said, "The human who made me sign the shameful contract is dead. What a pity," he sneered, "I'm going out soon. It would be great if I could kill her myself."

"Her?" Lizi asked with a little interest.

"It's that woman named Suzuka Gozen," Otakemaru said coldly. "She used my love to help a lowly human general seek Mount Suzuka. She used tricks to make me her shikigami."

"She said that as an onmyoji, she didn't even have a decent shikigami around her, so she was ridiculed by her colleagues. That kind of trick full of loopholes was just because I admired her so much that I fell for it at will."

"After becoming her shikigami, she threw me into the small black room without hesitation. Not only that, she also gave that human being my Sanming Sword."

"Are those three divine swords called Datongren, Xiaotongren, and Xianmingren?" Yamata said with interest, "I saw them on the current emperor's table."

"Damn it," Da Yuemaru clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "my things were touched by dirty humans. Kill him as soon as you get out."

"What happened later?" Lizi asked, "How did you find this place when you entered the little black house? What are those mountains of bones?"

"Those are all shikigami eaten by my subordinates. I hate onmyoji, and I also hate these monsters who are not up to the task of becoming shikigami. Since the bones are soft, why not take them all out."

"Onmyoji who are full of lies and soft-boned shikigami do not survive in this world. I use my power to rule this group of monsters born from the fear and resentment of shikigami."

"I want to take them out of the gate and take revenge on the person who hurt me. Although the person who put me in this situation is long dead, her descendants are still enjoying the glory of Heian-kyo."

Dayue Maru emitted an unusually strong fighting spirit, and dust rose all around.There was resentment in his dark eyes, "I've been here for too long, too long. I don't know the time."

"Human beings are really cunning and beautiful creatures. At that time, I naively thought that being a shikigami was not a big deal. It was just a different way to accompany her. I only know now that if you want to get a human being, you must not be hers." God formula."

Dayakemaru jumped down from the bone mountain, stood in front of her, stared at her coldly, "So, I hate women the most. It is never possible to be a shikigami for a woman!"
