Qingming in black put the paper figurine and the crystal into his pocket, and pulled the pear back to shuttle through the wall, but stopped after a while.

"Have you left the palace?" Lizi asked.

"No." Heiyi Qingming smiled and pushed her.

The pear fell out suddenly.She quickly covered her mouth and suppressed the scream.The golden light in the room was reflected in the pupils.

Layers of boxes piled up to the roof.One after another, two-person-high cabinets are lined up side by side like a wall.Some boxes couldn't be closed because they contained too many things, revealing the pearl strings and gold and silver jewelry piled inside.

"This is……"

"It's Izanami's treasure house." Seimei in black came out leisurely from the wall, holding his arm with one hand and touching his chin with the other. "Let me think about it, where is it placed?"

Lizi looked at the other party in a daze, as if she had arrived at her own home, and shuttled back and forth with familiarity and ease.

"See if it's here?" Heiyi Qingming moved a heavy box to the ground, and opened the big paulownia box pressed underneath.It is full of gems of various colors in a mess.

He reached out and stirred it, and picked out red stones from it.Compared with other gemstones of various colors, this stone is extremely ordinary.It's extremely awkward to mix in.

"This is..." Lizi pursed her lips, "Is it the stone of life that can live and die?"

"It's this one." Heiyi Qingming pinched it with his fingers and turned it around.The unremarkable stone has a faint luster in the dim light. "Looking at it this way, teacher and the others haven't had time to get this stone yet."

Lizi twitched her eyelashes twice, and said softly, "Where did you come from?"

Qingming in black suddenly froze and looked up at her.

"You call He Mao Zhongxing teacher, this is the name Seimei-sama would use. I usually call the other party Zhongxing-sama."

Lizi said slowly, "I remember I told you about He Mao Zhongxing before, but you never called him teacher. You are so familiar with the kingdom of hell, it can be explained that you can only walk in the dark, so you came here Lots of times."

"But, do you visit Izanami's bedroom and treasure house every time you come? Are you even familiar with the location of a stone or half a crystal?"

"What do you want to say?" Heiyi Qingming asked.

Riko looked directly at him, staring at the same face as Seimei without blinking, "You like me very much, right? Even more than Master Seimei."

The black-clothed boy looked back at her blankly, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, with the corners of his mouth clear, "I'm not ashamed, what's so good about you? Do you want me to like you more than Qingming?"

Pear's cheeks suddenly became hot.It wasn't pinched by him, and he was useless at all.The young man lowered his head slightly and looked at her, his beautiful and thin single-lidded eyes were unabashedly amused.

"Otherwise?" Lizi raised her hot face, "You are so enthusiastic to help me, you always come out to save me when I am in crisis. Because I often stay with Lord Qingming, you always hold a sheet of paper when you come out. Face. In order to see me, you basically possessed all the furnishings of my house."

Qingming in Heiyi covered the box, put it back, and snorted softly, "Look, I like you for touching porcelain so carelessly. If you guess wrong, is it embarrassing?"

"Then what's the shame?" Lizi said with a smile, "This is not to judge who you really are. Even if you really guess wrong, it's just a joke from you."

"Then guess where I came from?" Qingming in Heiyi folded his arms and looked at her with ridicule in his eyes.That smile was not laughing at her, but self-deprecating.

Lizi blinked her eyelashes lightly, and said in a soft voice, "You should know that I read the memory fragments a few days ago, right? One of them is incomplete. The key things are missing."

"But I think you should know what happened later. Because you were stripped out of those few times of going back in time. Going back again and again, superimposed again and again, became you today. If you have to say who are you? I think you should be a forgotten memory."

"I'm just a memory." The boy in black sighed.

The warehouse is dimly lit, only the jewelry, gold and silver are faintly flowing with the luster of wealth.Seimei in black was standing leaning on a big box. The box was not closed properly, and the luster overflowing from it poured on his face.

In this way, half of the slender figure fell into the fluorescent light, and half of it was hidden in the dimness.There was a hint of sadness on the half-dark face.

"I always thought that I was another Qingming, the dark side that grew in his body. The sage I asked told me so."

"In my heart, although darkness and light are opposed, they are at least equal. As long as I work hard, I will replace him one day. But pieces of memory fragments awakened me. I just remembered that I am such a monster .”

"You are not a monster." Lizi said, "You see, you have an independent personality, you can decide your own actions. Seimei-sama can't restrict you at all. Even in Yin Yang, you are evenly matched. Personality is not the same at all .Although I can't explain why going back in time will produce another Seimei. But in my opinion, you and Seimei-sama are two people."

Only then did Lizi understand that when he saw Qingming in black at first, he said that he couldn't figure out one thing, and even wanted to ask Qingming.What he can't figure out is the meaning of his own existence.

"Everyone is born with a meaning. What is the meaning of creating me?" Hei Yi Qingming said lightly, "Witnessing the relationship between you and Qingming?"

"Of course not." Lizi said, "I think what you said is wrong. Except for people with special missions, the birth of almost all lives is meaningless. I'm not saying that everyone is not worthy of being born. It's just that we are ordinary people."

"The so-called meaning of life is to be defined by yourself. Why do you live and how do you think it is meaningful to live? These are all up to you to decide. You can also decide the value of your own existence."

Hei Yi Qingming smiled faintly, "The value of my existence is to let you survive. Isn't it just for this purpose to go back in time?"

"Here." He put half of the crystal in Lizi's hand, "give it to Seimei. He knows how to do it. In the last memory, Yuan Chuyu got all the crystals. He became a god-like existence. Yi Zenami was able to flood Heian-kyo with the water of the Styx River, and more than half of the credit goes to that new god."

"As for this stone of life..." Qingming in black flew towards the corner and stopped beside a large row of cabinets.Those cabinets were so dark and huge that they almost reached the ceiling.There are many large iron boxes piled up in front of them, so messy that people don't want to take a second look.

Hei Yiqingming gracefully threw the stone into the gap between the cabinet and the wall, "Teacher will only rummage through the cabinet when looking for things. Who would have thought that this stone is in the gap?"

pear:"……"

"You have nothing to worry about." Heiyi Qingming grabbed Lizi's hand and led her to the wall. "Through this wall, you will be outside the palace wall. Just walk casually and get out."

"What about you?" Pear asked back.

"I'll go to the main hall to guard for a while. I'm worried that the two soil spiders guarding the gate will tell Izanami that she caught a paper mouse today, which will arouse her suspicion. Women are suspicious, especially women who have lived for so long. They are already sensitive I'm such an old monster. If the earth spiders talk nonsense, I'll confuse them with yin and yang."

Lizi nodded, "Will you come to me after finishing this?"

Hei Yi Qingming gave a brief chuckle, "Maybe." He stretched out his hand and gently pushed her shoulder, pushing her out of the wall.At the same time, a tiny shadow attached to the sole of Lizi's shoe, and she led it out.

Qingming in Heiyi glanced indifferently, and slightly pursed his lips.

After Lizi left, he did not go to Izanami's bedroom to guard as he said.Instead, he lazily sat down on a big paulownia box with his legs crossed.

After a while, a gleaming white hand slowly clung to his shoulder.He glanced sideways, and impatiently swept the hand away.

"You really don't understand style. Well, I don't know if that young man named Qingming is the same as you." A charming laugh came from the empty air.Immediately afterwards, that pale hand gradually revealed a slender figure.

Wearing luxurious twelve singles, the outermost layer is purple grape color, embroidered with bunches of plump and juicy round grapes.Just like Izanami herself, mature and attractive.

Izanami bent her slender and elegant eyes, smiled and said, "You did a good job. It seems that she completely believes it. However, I still have doubts. If I don't want to be caught in the cycle of time again, then I Wouldn’t it be better to grab that lock directly? Why do you have to weaken Abe Seimei’s strength?”

"Because you snatched that lock in your previous life, but the lock handle melted away." Heiyi Qingming said mockingly.

Immediately, Izanami felt a pain in her hand, "You are right. After all, it was transformed by the three pillar gods. Now that the little girl is recognized, no one else is allowed to snatch it. What about Seimei? If I kill him, that's all. He's dead, and nobody's going back in time anymore."

"He can't die." Heiyi Seimei raised the corners of his eyes, glanced at Izanami, and his sarcasm became more intense, "He was transformed by Tsukiyomi's half godhead. Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu will not allow him to die either. Dead , The deity that the two of them gave is a joke. They will definitely try their best to stop you. Therefore, you can only weaken him."

"Every time, Abe Seimei would be overwhelmed with pain because of Xiaoli's death. He couldn't wait to fill the lock, so he would use all his spiritual power to fill it in the lock and forcibly reverse the time. You know, he has half a monthly reading of the godhead, enough He went back in time once."

"And this time we gave him a fake crystal that weakens the spiritual power. As long as he swallows the fake crystal, the spiritual power will be weakened. His power is not enough to reverse time. He can only consume himself. He is dead, Can't you just pick up the lock?"

Izanami thought carefully about the possibility of this matter, "Then why didn't I wait for Rikako Shimizu to die, and grab her lock?"

Seimei in black didn't answer any more, but looked at Izanami with the eyes of a fool.

"Okay," said Izanami, "I probably did that in that life too? What punishment did I get?"

"As soon as Xiaoli died, you appeared next to her secretly. It looked like you were doing something bad. So you were whipped away by Yamata no Orochi with its tail."

Izanami gritted her silver teeth, "That broken snake! I didn't expect that the person hidden in Yamata's body was actually the elder brother of Rikako Shimizu? But it's not surprising. Isn't Yamata always Qingshui Shimizu? Shout? I didn't connect them together."

"Tsk tsk," she looked at Qingming in black, "as expected of the brother of the fox. One trick after another. But speaking of it, are you really leading me?"

"I've said it several times," the black-clothed boy glanced at her lazily, "I hate being someone else's vassal. Especially as a witness. Just remembering that all my feelings are false makes me feel anger."

"I was born because of Seimei's strong emotions. I was born for this reason, it is almost like a satire. I just want to kill them. Then replace him and become the real Seimei Abe. Not a shadow of him."

"No wonder you asked me for crystals," Izanami nodded. "After Abe Seimei dies, you will disappear with him. But having crystals is different. You will become an independent person."

She stretched out her hand, and a crystal slowly appeared in her palm.That is the crystal that Yamata no Orochi condensed in the Valley of Memory.Although it is only half, it still emits a dazzling light.

Hei Yiqingming pinched the crystal with two fingers, and his pupils were instantly filled with the crystal, "This is the condensed crystal of Yamata no Orochi. It is indeed full of abundant power."

"It's a reward," Izanami said with an elegant smile, "My opponents have always been very generous. Thinking about Yuan Chuyu, he just helped me bury a formation in the Valley of Memory, so I rewarded him with half of the crystals .Now he has become a veritable big. Onmyoji."

"I have to do more than him." Heiyi Qingming said flatly.

"Of course, I won't forget it." Izanami said, "If you hadn't told me about going back in time, I would have continued to reincarnate foolishly. Although Abe Seimei and Shimizu Rikako have been actively breaking the reincarnation. But It will end in my failure."

"Thinking about it like this, I can't be reconciled. I managed to bury so many water outlets in Fusang. In just a few days, that beautiful island will become my property."

"Annexed Weiyuan China and turned all human beings into my residents. The gods on Gaotianyuan will no longer have believers. Without believers, they will become extremely weak one by one."

"Amaterasu and Tsukyomi only have half of their godheads left. That fellow Yamata sacrificed half of his godhead to keep the soul in his body alive. If Takamagahara is dealt with, I will be the most powerful god in the world."

"Ah, speaking of this, I just need a legitimate reason to release the water of the River Styx. I don't know if you found it for me?" Izanami asked.

"The most prestigious master in Heian-kyo. Onmyoji Kamo Tadayuki, in order to restore his daughter to a human body, stole the life stone of Izanami, the lord of the underworld. Is this reason enough?" asked Qingming in black.

"But, didn't Abe Seimei come to stop him?"

"Don't worry, I left clues for He Mao Zhongxing." The boy in black raised the corners of his lips, "Just now his shadow followed me and checked the place where the Stone of Life is hidden. I think he will come over to get it tonight." .”

"Then I will prepare unimpeded conditions for him." Izanami said with a smile, "Then you can use this crystal now."

……

Lizi came out of the path outside the palace and walked all the way to a remote place.After making sure that no one was following him, he took out the small bamboo tube on his body.

A thin fox with a pointed head came out of the bamboo tube, with two round black eyes staring.

Well, what should I say?Can it be conveyed by just saying it directly?She looked at Guan Hu and stared at him with big eyes and small eyes.

"Well, I want you to help me find Master Seimei."

Guan Hu nodded, and disappeared into the air with a "whoosh".

Pear stood there and waited.After a while, I heard hurried footsteps coming from the alley.With Guanhu on her shoulder, Qingming walked quickly from a distance.

"Master Qingming." She called out cheerfully.

There was a smile in Qingming's eyes, and he walked up to her quickly, looked up and down to see if she was okay, "I asked Guanhu to send you a message, why didn't you answer?"

"Did you ask Guan Hu to send a message? Maybe it was Qingming in black who sealed Guan Hu. It was only released later."

"It's that guy again, I knew..."

"Master Qingming, I have something to tell you."

"I also have something to sue you," Seimei said, "I found the teacher. They haven't found the Life Stone yet. What about you, what are you going to sue me?"

"I want to tell you about Qingming in black." Lizi pulled out a barrier, hiding their figures and voices in the barrier.Only then did he tell Qingming what happened in the past half day.

"Sure enough." Qingming's eyes dimmed, "Just as I thought, he was stripped out after going back in time. I thought, I don't have so many dark sides, and I will form a me. But I didn't expect that we watched Memory fragments will awaken his memory."

"He also gave me the half of the crystal, and asked me to give it to you. He said that you will understand after reading it." Lizi said so, and took out the things Qingming in Heiyi gave from her pocket.But the originally brilliant crystal has now turned into a stone.

It's just an ordinary stone.Ordinary ones are like stones picked up by hand on the side of the road.Dusty, with sharp water chestnuts.

"Hey, what's going on here." Lizi looked at the stone over and over again, "That's not what we got in the palace. I clearly saw that what he gave me was half a crystal. Is it an illusion?" ? But why did he lie to me?"

Qingming picked up the stone, "His illusion level should be the same as mine. It's still not that realistic. But there is one thing he wants me to know."

"what?"

"What the eyes see is not necessarily the truth."

"Huh?" Li Zi frowned, "What the eyes see may not be true? Heiyi Qingming used a stone just to tell us this truth?"

"Anyway, let's leave here and meet the teacher." Seimei said.

……

In a dilapidated house, He Mao Baoxian lit a firewood and cooked rice, muttering incessantly.A quilt was spread beside him, and Nanako Kamo cried while wrapped in the quilt.She kept wiping her tears with her hands, causing her head to shake.

"Father, did you hear what I said?" He Mao Baoxian raised his head and said to his father, He Mao Zhongxing.

"I heard it." He Mao Zhongxing stood at the door with his back to He Mao Baoxian. He leaned against the door frame and watched a slender black shadow running towards him quickly without blinking his eyes.

"If you really stole Izanami's Life Stone, I'm afraid he will really flood Heian-kyo as Seimei said. At that time, father, you will be a sinner through the ages." Homo Kamo continued to mutter.

"I heard that Izanami has endless jewels, and that life stone is just a drop in the ocean." Kamenako said with a sob, "Even if we take it away, he won't notice it."

"What do you know?" Homo Kamo stared, "Izanami has always hated the gods of Takamagahara. I especially hated Izanaki."

"Why does she hate the gods?" Nanako asked. "Isn't Izanagi her husband?"

"You should know that Izanami burned to death when she gave birth to Vulcan, right?" Homo Kamo asked.

"I know." Nanako nodded, shaking her head so violently that she quickly supported her with her hand, and gave Homo Kamo a look.

"Izanaki was very sad to see his wife die, so he chased him to the land of the underworld." Baoxian Kamo ignored it, and continued, "Izanami has already eaten the food of the land of the underworld, and has become a person there. God Lord. But she was still very happy to see her husband coming to her, and decided to go back with him.”

"She told her husband that if she wanted to welcome her back, she could not look back at her along the way. As long as she did this, she would be able to return to Takamahara. Izanagi agreed. But they were walking on the mountain road, and Izanagi He still couldn't hold back his curiosity and glanced back. This glance frightened him."

"My wife, who was usually beautiful and charming, is now rotten and crawling with bugs. Her eyes have rotted into dark holes. Her slender fingers have also turned into bones."

"Under the control of fear, Izanaki ran away from his wife alone. Since then, he has become a pair of enemies. Izanami vowed to kill 500 people every day. And Izanaki also said that every day people will be killed. Fifteen hundred new lives were born. In this way, the kingdom of the underworld and Gao Tianyuan are eternal enemies."

"Izanami just can't find a good excuse to deal with Gao Tianyuan. You stole the stone, isn't it just bowing down and offering the reason to destroy the world with both hands? When all the living people are dead, the gods will naturally have no believers. No Believers, many gods will lose their spiritual power. Then Gao Tianyuan can still be rounded and flattened by Izanami."

"So that's the case," Kamo Nanako frowned and said, "But why did you put such a big pot on my head? Even if something happened, how could such a powerful god care about me?"

"Besides, He doesn't necessarily know that I stole the stone? It's just a little risk, but you want to exaggerate it to the sky. Qingming is afraid that I won't be able to relieve Li Huazi when I return to normal, so I told you so."

"You, you, always think about yourself," He Mao Baoxian said bitterly, "If you weren't selfish, how could you become what you are now? You haven't learned your lesson yet."

"Okay." He Mao Zhongxing interrupted.While remembering the route that Shadow said in his heart, he smiled and looked into the distance, "Qingming has returned with Qingshui."
