"Well, it's never too late." Li Zi's cheeks flushed instantly, and she put her hands on the other's chest, "We are still in the maze, and there will be danger at any time. It doesn't matter if you do this kind of thing later, Master Seimei Sober up first."

Qingming laughed lightly, "How can this be done? It's only natural to pay off debts. One extra day will cost you more interest. If you think about it, is this okay?"

The girl blinked her eyelashes lightly, and asked softly, "How do you calculate the interest?"

"Well, let's double it every other day." Seimei said.

Doubling means that it will become two tomorrow and four the day after tomorrow?Or turn over one by one?

Lizi, who is not good at math, can't wait to take out a piece of paper and do the calculations on the spot.

Qingming smiled and said, "If you don't pay back today, you will have two tomorrow, four the day after tomorrow, eight the day after tomorrow, and sixteen the day after tomorrow..."

Such a double, is it usury?

Lizi shivered in fright at the rapidly tumbling numbers, "Okay, I'll pay it back when I get out of the maze."

Qingming loosened her grip on her chin, "All right, trust your character for now."

Lizi breathed a sigh of relief, and decided to pay off the debt as soon as she was out of danger.

By the way, how did she owe this kiss?Why would you owe such a thing?

After the two reconciled, they went on to the depths of the maze.

"Master Seimei."

"Ah."

"How did you find me?"

"I climbed onto the wall and walked over directly," Qingming said.

"Above the wall?" Lizi looked up, it was so high that she couldn't see her head. "How did you get there?"

"That's an illusion. In fact, the wall is not that high. I also found it during the fight." Qingming's eyes sank when he said this, feeling that it is difficult to defend against house thieves in the east and west.He's only been gone for a while before the guy can find a gap.Presumably, it's back in his body now, right?

"What is that eye?" Riko continued to ask, "Is it Saio's?"

"I'm afraid so."

"If she knows, will it be harmful to you?"

An indifferent mocking voice came from the void, "Hazard, there should be no harm. Because this child is already a dead person in my eyes. So what if you know more secrets?"

Lizi stopped immediately and raised her head in horror.But that voice, like a gust of wind, disappeared through the maze.

"Is it Saio?" She asked softly.

"Obviously." Qingming withdrew his gaze and walked forward again.

Lizi chased after her, with a deep worry on her face.Saio can say such a thing, it proves that she has enough confidence.

Seeing that Seimei's light blue hunting clothes were covered with blood, she silently lowered her eyes.Although the blood was not his, this was the second time that the young man who had always ended in such a fierce battle fought so fiercely.The last time was at the bottom of the sea.She is still used to seeing clean teenagers full of sunshine.

She said softly, "It's fine if you don't come in and find me."

"What are you talking about?" Qingming smiled and glanced at her. "I just wanted to ask Saiou what made her so confident? But she ran too fast, and I didn't even have time to ask her."

"Isn't Saio powerful?" Lizi asked.

"It's not bad, if it's Saio who was bathed in the blessing of the gods before, it's quite powerful." Qingming said, "But now this one, I'm afraid Amaterasu has given up on her."

"But, she must have taken refuge in a very powerful force." Lizi said anxiously.

"Well, she will give what she gets. In battle, sometimes it is a big flaw." Seimei turned her face to look at her.

"When the news about the country of mirrors came out, even the teacher hesitated. Almost no one dared to try to enter through the Yata mirror. Because unknown things are the most frightening. Everyone is afraid that they will lose their human bodies after entering. forever in the mirror."

"But my father told me that since I brought you to Heian-kyo, I have to be responsible for bringing you back. You see, everyone wants you to go back. So, don't say such things in the future, I don't Regret coming in."

Riko looked at him in shock, not even someone who loves Nanako so much as Tadyuki Kamo did not come in.And Yuan Chuyue's father gave up first when he learned that his daughter was in the mirror.Not to mention the families of other apprentice shrine maidens.They all felt that this child was not the only one.

But Abe Masaki only had Seimei as a child, but he let him in.

A hot current that was both moving and sour slowly flowed through my heart.She didn't know how to repay such a nice family.

"Master Qingming, we will definitely go out." She said softly.

"Of course, I will definitely take you out." Seimei said with a smile.

Lizi nodded, and reached out to hold Qingming's hand.

Qingming froze suddenly, not understanding why she took the initiative so suddenly, a girl's voice came from beside her, "This time, hold Master Qingming's hand tightly. In this way, if you encounter a secret passage again, you won't be separated suddenly. gone."

"That's it," Qingming smiled lightly, "then hold on tightly." Don't separate from now on.

While talking, they turned a corner, and a small light appeared far away, like a white square stuck in the darkness.

"It's the exit." Lizi shouted in surprise.

With a soft "hmm", Qingming took out a handful of talisman paper from the talisman bag and stuffed it into her pocket.

"Master Qingming?" Lizi immediately knew what he was thinking, and she quickly took it out to return it, "You are more useful than me. Even if this is the middle level, my spiritual power is limited and I can't release the power of yours." Effect."

"I know," Seimei said, "but now, I can't fully focus on you. You have to use them to protect yourself while I'm distracted from fighting."

Lizi nodded, "I will protect myself, Master Qingming, don't be distracted." She hesitated, "If, if there is a chance to go out, but I hold back, please..."

"That's what I want to tell you too," Qingming said with a smile, "If I can create a chance for you to leave here, you must..."

"I will definitely not go out." Lizi said firmly, "Master Seimei cannot leave here, and I will not leave either."

Qingming smiled softly again, "In this case, let's go out together. I won't have to call Xiaoli, you go away soon."

Lizi pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, I won't say that Master Qingming doesn't care about me and leave quickly. Please fight hard, sir, and I will protect myself."

The two discussed not to do unnecessary things, and walked towards the exit again.

As the bright little square got bigger and bigger, Lizi saw clearly that it was not an exit at all, but a hall with many burning candles.

The hall was empty, only the whistling wind.Under the candlelight, one can see a shimmering bronze mirror in the corner of the hall.

That is Yata Mirror.And directly opposite the Yata Mirror, a long red line was blocked, and behind the red line was a huge black air surging.From time to time, the head of the mirror-eating beast can be seen emerging from the black air.They seem to be eager to walk through the mirror.

"Master Seimei, are they going to pass the Mirror Devourer through the Yata Mirror and release it to our world?" Lizi felt a chill rising from the bottom of her stomach.If those unkillable monsters escaped into the human world, it would definitely be a catastrophe.

Seimei didn't look at the Yata Mirror, his attention was all on the mural.In this hall, you can see many murals on the walls.

In some cases, a tall man picked a small flower and handed it to a little girl.There are also a group of children who are robbing the little girl's doll, and the man drives away the group of children.There is also a little girl who grows up and reads a book under the window, and the man stands beside her as if pointing.

The most attractive painting is a ferocious giant snake with eight heads and eight tails.On the scaly body, there are still fir trees and moss and flowers, and there are swamps everywhere.

"Yaqi no Orochi." Seimei said softly.

"What?" Lizi turned her attention to the last painting, "Is this giant snake's name?"

"Hmm." There was a hint of disbelief and complexity in Qingming's eyes.

"Master Seimei?" Sensing the other party's emotions, Lizi turned her face in confusion.

"I might have to go back on my word." Qingming suppressed the complexity.

"Repent what?"

"I underestimated the master behind Saiwang," Qingming looked at Lizi, "I'm afraid I have to be left behind today. Sending you home will be the last thing I can do. Just don't talk," Qingming put her fingers on Lizi's lips, and said frankly, "I can't beat him now."

Seeing that he used the word "he", Li Zi opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Is it a god?"

"It used to be, but now it's a fallen god."

"If Yamata no Orochi doesn't appear here, we still have a chance to escape together. If he comes," Seimei paused, "I will open the passage for you anyway." He gently rubbed the girl's head , "But in order to open the channel, I may have to reveal my secrets. If you see something surprising, please don't hate me."

"Why should I hate you?" Lizi asked puzzled. "Ah," her eyes widened suddenly, "Could it be that you have fused with a monster before? Are you going to transform?"

Seimei was a little speechless, "What are you thinking? Merging with monsters is something that will cause you to lose yourself. I stay with you every day. How could I do such a dangerous thing?"

"what is that?"

"Anyway, it's a secret. I won't let you know unless it's absolutely necessary." Qingming said with a smile.

Riko turned her attention to the mural again, "This is Yamata no Orochi, who is that little girl?"

"It's me." A female voice sounded from the corner of the hall.As the figure gradually appeared under the candlelight, her face became more and more clear.

"Sai-o?" Lizi looked at the person who came over with surprise but not surprise.Surprised that the little girl turned out to be Saio, not surprised because it turned out that it was Saio who was going to kill them in the end.

"You are admiring the mural." Saio looked at the mural with a little girl's smile in his eyes, "I painted it with my own hands. Isn't it beautiful?"

"Are you going to put the Mirror Devourer in Heianjing?" Lizi asked, "Your brother and clansmen still live in that city."

"Brother and clansmen?" Saio narrowed his eyes contemptuously, "I've never had such a thing. If you look carefully at the mural, you can see how those people bullied me."

Her gaze slowly shifted from one painting to another, "My mother passed away very early. But in fact, even if she was alive, the two of us have no status in the palace. The difference is that we are all together .colored people get ups and downs, or get bullied alone."

"So you betrayed the gods and went to help Yamata no Orochi?" Riko asked.

"It's not that I betrayed the gods, but that I don't want to be Saio at all. You should know that Saio can only resign after the death of a relative? No woman in the royal family wants to take this job. Because it may wait until old, those old people You can live well even if you don’t die. But you have to stay in the shrine forever because of the rules, you can’t get married, you can’t have your own family.”

"The rule of waiting for a funeral to get a new life is really stupid. But I have no choice. Because they are used to bullying me." Saio said lightly.

"So you have taken refuge with your new master," Lizi looked at her, "What kind of monster did you merge with, a snake demon?"

"Yeah," Saio nodded, his eyes showing a hint of shyness, "Master helped me choose the snake, I like it very much."

Lizi looked at her in disbelief, did she like the ugly giant snake on the mural?But looking at the patterns on other paintings, Yaqi Orochi has turned into a human being, and it seems to have helped Saiwang.So it was reasonable for her to like him.

"What are you doing?" Saio's shy eyes suddenly faded and became fierce and vicious.Following her words, a black air wave rushed towards Qingming, Qingming stretched out his hand and pulled Li Zi behind him, pulling out a barrier.The air wave rushed to the surface of the enchantment, corroding a large hole in an instant.

"While I'm talking, are you using Onmyojutsu to connect to the Yata Kyou?" Saio glared at Seimei viciously.

"What a pity." Qingming raised his hand, and there was a glistening spiderweb-like thing hanging on his finger.The spider web was just about to climb to the Yata mirror, and then it could be pulled to the side of the Yata mirror in an instant by the spider web.

Saio's gaze was like a sharp sword, wishing he could poke a few big holes in Seimei's body. "I hate cunning children the most. Originally, this child Shimizu has the potential to be a witch. If she hadn't been mixed with you, she would have become an official witch."

Riko blinked in surprise, "Hey, didn't you push me in? You didn't even let off all the people from Ise Shrine. Even if I didn't get mixed up with Seimei-sama, I couldn't escape your clutches ah."

King Zhai choked for a moment, and swept the pair of boys and girls fiercely, "So you two deserve to be caught by me, you both deserve to die."

Lizi smiled, "No matter what you say, you won't let us go, so why not tell the truth."

"You're not telling the truth," Qingming said with a smile, "You're trying to provoke the monster. I'm afraid her anger is not high enough. But it doesn't matter."

After saying this, he pushed the pear out of the barrier and jumped in another direction.At the same time, the place where they were originally standing was hit by the black air wave, causing an explosion.fry.

Seimei formed a seal quickly, and countless rays of light rushed towards Saio like sharp arrows.Saio's figure disappeared in an instant, and appeared in the corner of the hall in the next second.She raised one hand, showing a ferocious expression on her face, releasing her demon power.

Seimei formed a seal quickly, and within a few seconds, the ice particles began to fly, swirling towards Saio like a wind blowing snow.Saio swung his arm violently, and countless black arrows gushed out of the air, piercing through the air.

In this high-level spell battle, Lizi could only pull out the barrier to resist.However, affected by the monster power and spiritual power, her enchantment was consumed very quickly.Almost every second, he had to re-draw the barrier to resist.

As Saio and Seimei fought faster and faster, Riko could only see their changing figures as if they were fast-forwarding.She shrank farther and farther, and quickly shrank into a corner.From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the Yata Mirror next to her, and her heart skipped a beat.

But because of the thick black aura surrounding the Yata Mirror, she couldn't get close.As long as you get closer, the black evil spirit will immediately cut the skin open.

"Do you still remember the beans I gave you?" A voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

Lizi froze suddenly, her eyes opened wide.

Who is speaking?

"Stretch out your hand, don't be afraid, touch the mirror."

How to touch the mirror?That's all evil spirits.

There was an undetectable ripple on the mirror surface, and a thin thread rolled out.The thin thread slowly passed through the evil spirit and approached her slowly, the black evil spirit dodged one after another, just leaving a gap where the arm could be stretched in.

"Quick." The voice urged her again.

She gritted her teeth, before she had time to think about it, she quickly stretched her arm through the gap.But the gap was really narrow, and her arm still inevitably encountered the evil spirit, and many small openings were cut.

Lizi's eyes widened suddenly, and in order not to make a sound, she endured the pain until she bit her mouth open.Finally, the fingers touched the mirror.A teenage hand reached out from the mirror and grabbed her.

Lizi's mind went blank, and the next second she found herself sitting in a familiar room with a low table in front of her.There is a food box on the table.

Open the lid, inside is a bowl of miso soup and two rice balls.Next to it was a small piece of paper with messy words written on it.She held the note up to the light and saw clearly that it said "I'm going to change the lamp oil, don't run around and wait for me at home after dinner."

"Shunta Ju?" She said in surprise.

"I'm sorry, my strength is too weak now, I can only move the evil spirit away a little bit. Is your arm hurt?"

Riko turned her head suddenly, and saw a young man with a smile on his face standing at the door, it was Shunta Tachibana.

"What's going on here? Am I not in the hall?" Lizi asked.

"Well, you should still remember that your hand touched the mirror?" Junta Tachibana asked.

"Yes."

"Well, that mirror is my divine body, and my real name is Amaterasu."

"But, but I heard that Goddess Amaterasu is, is a woman." Lizi said with some doubts.

"Ah, that's a long story. Well, where should I start?" Shunta Tachibana pondered for a while, "Well, in short, there is a fallen angel who wants to return to the god position, but the current power is not enough. Not enough to do that."

"He did some bad things in order to gather power. Some of them were stopped by me. In order not to let me continue bad things, I was shoved into a mirror by his allies. The other party used illusions to change my appearance and memory. Let me Believe me, I am just an ordinary teenager in the mirror."

"During the time I was in the mirror, I was sometimes sober and sometimes confused. I heard your prayer that day, so I overturned the silver pot of beans. Do you remember?"

"I remember." Lizi nodded immediately, "I brought those beans in my pocket."

"Ah, brought it in," Ju Juntai said with a smile, "Great, those beans..."

"I made bean cakes."

"Huh?" The boy opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Lizi immediately realized that she had done something wrong, "Aren't those beans for me? I thought..."

"Well...it's a little troublesome," Ju Juntai sat down cross-legged with a distressed expression on his face, "If the beans are still there, I can teach you to open the door of the kingdom of the underworld, and we will throw all the mirror-eating beasts there, so we won't be afraid of them causing trouble It’s in the world. But if there are no beans... I don’t know if the bean cake is good or not.”

Tachibana Shunta began to think hard while talking.

Lizi didn't dare to say a word, she sat obediently and waited for him to think of a way.

"Let's give it a try," Junta Tachibana said. "Isn't bean cake made of beans? Maybe it's more suitable as a medium because of its delicateness. In short, there is no other way." He stretched out his hand and tapped on the Pear's forehead.

Lizi suddenly felt something pour into her head, and her heart became clear instantly. "I understand that, thank you."

"Well, actually, I should thank you." Shunta Tachibana said, "After I gave you the beans that day, I was still a little awake. I immediately ran to the place where you would fall and waited. But when you fell into the mirror, I I lost my memory. I thought I was hunting in the countryside. Then it was the warmth from your body that awakened my memory and reminded me of who you are."

"It's nothing," Li Zi hurriedly said, "Who told me to be your apprentice witch?"

"Well, let's forget about this," Tachibana Junta said with a smile, "You don't exist to be my witch."

"Eh?"

"Everyone has a mission in life, and so do you. Since you are destined to do so, let's go on like this." The boy said with a smile.

Li Zi became even more confused after hearing this.

"Okay, let's go on, I'm afraid someone will notice your strangeness. Just try as I said. I'll send you back right away."

"Since you have recovered your memory, why can't you do this yourself?" Lizi suddenly remembered.

Ju Juntai smiled wryly, "I have recovered my memory, but I don't have the power to recover."

As his words fell, the scene in Lizi's eyes gradually became blurred.When it became clear again, her arms were still in the gap, surrounded by the surrounding black mist.

After taking a look at the Yata Mirror, she slowly withdrew her arm.Without time to assess the wound on her arm, she took out a bean cake and crushed it, and began to open the gate of the kingdom of hell according to the method taught to her by Amaterasu.

The bean cake crumbs slowly floated up with the spell, forming a pale yellow door in front of the evil spirit.The black evil spirit seemed to sense the air flowing outwards, and couldn't wait to rush out.

They have been in the mirror country for too long.Tired of eating here.Whether it's human beings or dead souls, it's good to have a different taste after all.

Therefore, as soon as the door opened a gap, the raging evil spirit rushed in with a "huh".It was so fast that Saio, who caught a glimpse of the movement here, had no time to react.

The door disappeared immediately, leaving only a Yata mirror standing there.

"What did you do?" Saio yelled.She slammed her arm down, and the air wave rushed over, and Lizi had no time to evade her subconscious and close her eyes.The next moment, she was hugged tightly by the figure who rushed over.

Even though Qingming pulled out the barrier, the air wave hit her back, and she let out a muffled grunt, her mouth full of fishy sweetness.

"What did you do just now?" He glanced at the place where only the Yata mirror remained.

Saio was about to attack again, but he stopped and perked up his ears when he heard this question.

"I opened the door of the kingdom of the underworld and led the mirror devourer there." Lizi whispered, she looked up and saw the blood on the corner of Qingming's mouth, and quickly wiped it off with her sleeve.

"The Kingdom of the Underworld?" Qingming blinked his eyelashes in shock, "How did you open the door there? This is an advanced Yin-Yang technique. Well, don't tell me yet, it looks like the guy over there is about to open it again. Anyway, Well done, what a nice girl," he said with a smile.

"Then listen to me now," he whispered in her ear, "the way to open the Yata Mirror is to draw a candle on the mirror surface. Since there are no mirror devourers, go back when you find a chance. The adults of Yinyang Liao wait Over there, tell them about this side, if there is time, I may not die."

"Want to leave? Think I'm a dead person?" Saio said angrily, his face was covered with ferocious veins, and his muscles began to swell.Legs and skirts tangled, twisted, spiraled, elongated.

Soon a huge fiery snake tail appeared on her body.The snake's tail is covered with golden-red scales, each with crackling sparks.She flicked the snake's tail lightly, and the tail drew black scorched marks on the stone-paved hall.

Seeing Saiwang release the demon body, Seimei, who was covered in wounds, knew that he could no longer use this mortal body to resist.

"It's really troublesome," he said helplessly, letting go of his arms around Lizi's eyes and covering her eyes, "I didn't expect it to happen so soon, please don't look at me strangely."

"What?" Pear asked.

"Well, it's just..."

"It's really stupid." With the voice of ridicule, a black shadow emerged from Seimei's body.The shadow became clearer and clearer, revealing a very haughty face between the eyebrows.

"Ah, you want to reveal the secret yourself so you don't hurt me. I don't want people to associate it with that kind of bad place." The boy in black said.

"Oh, but if you don't do that, you can't fight Saio who is fused with a monster. You must know that the opponent is equal to the strength of a half-human." Seimei said with a smile.

"Understood," Heiyi Qingming said lazily, "Now you have the strength of two people. If two people can't beat one, you can die in shame."

"Two can't beat one, wouldn't you be ashamed?" Saio over there asked strangely.

The slightly upturned eyes of the black-clothed boy were extraordinarily flamboyant, and there was a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "I won't, because the kind of thing you said in the first half of the sentence will never happen. It is in my eyes that you can ask this sentence." You are already dead."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," Saioh looked at the teenagers in white and black hunting clothes in front of him and went crazy, "Arrogant double yolk egg."

White and black, eat white tablets during the day without drowsiness, and eat black tablets at night to sleep well.
