juvenile onmyoji

Lizi frowned slightly as she watched Shutendouji walk away, "What did he mean?"

Seimei pulled out a piece of talisman paper, and the talisman paper turned into a beam of light and poured down from the top of Lizi's head.Under the reflection of the light, there was faintly visible black smoke on her clothes.

"What is this?" Li Zi shook her arms, but there was still a lot of black smoke.

Qingming wiped a little with her hand and smelled it, saying, "It's the smell of spirit."

"It's normal." Lizi fanned the smoke with her sleeve, trying to drive it away. "Today is the Yu Lan Basin, a day when all ghosts go out. There are spirits who come to visit their descendants, and it's not What a strange thing. Maybe I squeezed through the crowd just now and got on it."

Qingming nodded, "That being said, since the other party is the ghost king of Dajiangshan, he must have his reasons. As a demon, he should be able to see things that we can't see."

Although the other party meant to help him, let him check his body in this way and that.But the black energy in Li Zi's body does exist, he can't just pretend not to see it because of his own selfish desires.

As for the physical examination, well...

Qingming thought for a while, then took Lizi's hand, "Let's go."

"where to?"

"Three Avenues, your house."

"Huh, why?"

Qingming pulled her down the hillside quickly, "You came with me. There is no reason why you have the breath of the spirit on your body and I don't. Then there is only one reason, the breath on your body was contaminated when you went to the three avenues to sacrifice. A grandmother who cooked in that house died a while ago, and I'm afraid she came back with the Yulan basin."

"So it seems," Lizi recalled for a moment, "that gatekeeper named Aji, his face is a bit ugly. Has he seen Ling?"

"It should be like this. The new soul met the Obon Festival not long after her death, and was released by Huangquan Kingdom inexplicably. She will be a little confused and mistakenly think that she is still alive. If she is stabbed at this time, she will Transform into an evil spirit. If people die one after another in your house, there may be bad rumors."

It turned out that Master Qingming was in such a hurry to rush over because of this reason.Although she didn't care much about the rumors, she didn't want the innocent people guarding the house to die.

"Who will stimulate her?" Lizi asked wonderingly, "Aji?"

……

"Ah, no, no, don't come here. I'll eat, can't I eat?" Aji rubbed his hands on the ground and crawled backwards.In front of him, Aju was holding a food box and looking at him eeriely.

"It's been several days, and you haven't eaten any of the food I cooked. I've been following you and found that you were shopping outside. Is it because the food I cooked is not delicious?" Aju's facial features twisted with anger, "If the master knows If you don't eat my food, you will think I'm useless and fire me."

Aji was miserable, and wanted to find a mirror for Aju to take a picture.There is a triangular white paper stuck on his forehead that only the dead would stick. Why does he think he is not dead yet?And she was dripping water all over her body, anyone who saw it would know it was abnormal, right?

Aju slammed the food box into his face, "Give it to me quickly, it's all made of fresh white rice."

Aji looked at the rice balls and pickles in the food box and thought, although Aju died, he watched her cook with firewood every day.The ingredients used are also real rice.Maybe she doesn't know she's dead and cooks like a living person.In that case, it doesn't matter if you eat a little, right?

After thinking about this, he picked up the rice ball and took a bite.I hope Aju can be satisfied with this, and get out of here quickly.

"Ah, we've caught up." The young man's clear voice came from the door.

Aji raised his head and saw Qingming and Lizi standing at the door, bursting into tears with joy, throwing the rice ball back into the food box, "Master, help me quickly."

Aju turned her head to see Qingming's face, she was startled, and bowed tremblingly.

Qingming glanced at Aju and said with a smile, "The Obon is coming to an end, you can go back." He reached out and tapped the triangle paper on Aju's forehead.

The triangular paper emitted a faint light, and Aju's originally blue body immediately became translucent.

Aju looked down at herself in a daze, clapped her hands, not only made no sound, but crossed her hands.

"You should remember that a few days ago you went to Kamogawa to watch people catch fish, and accidentally slipped in from the shore. The water plants entangled your feet, and you never climbed up again." Seimei said gently.

Aju's eyes gradually cleared up, and she looked down at her dripping body again, "By the way, I remembered. I drowned a few days ago."

Qingming nodded, "My father ordered someone to bury you and gave your family a funeral fund. Xiaoli also gave a share and asked your family what help they need. Your son said he wanted to replace you to work in the mansion. I Agreed, and allowed him to come to work after the Obon festival. Do you have any regrets about not going there?"

After hearing this, Aju revealed joy, "Master Abe is very kind to his servants. The Abe mansion is a place where everyone wants to work. But because there are few people recruited, my son has no chance to come in. Now that he has succeeded me, there will be no more I'm sorry." She bent down and bowed again and again, and then bowed to Lizi to thank her for giving her an extra amount of money.

Pear quickly waved her hand.

Aju turned to look at Aji, whose face was still pale, and gave him a bow, "I'm sorry, I forgot that I was dead, and I scared you for several days. You don't want to eat that meal, but I do It's made with fresh rice and vegetables."

Aji stroked his chest, revealing a wry smile.I said it earlier, I ate a mouthful.Eh, by the way, I was interrupted by the son just now, I forgot what the rice ball tastes like, is it bad?

Aju, who had no regrets, slowly disappeared from the air with a smile on her face.

Qingming glanced at the bitten rice balls in the food box and said, "You go first, I promise nothing will happen again."

Aji hastily bowed and retreated.

After Qingming saw that he had completely disappeared from the courtyard, he made a seal on the food box.

A gleam of light fell on the food box, and Lizi took a big step back.The cute rice balls and small pickles in the food box were all turned into a rotten mess, crawling with wriggling worms.

Qingming waved at the food box, a gust of wind blew by, and the food box suddenly became empty.

"Although Aju uses fresh rice, because she no longer belongs to the yang world, the food will rot quickly. But it can't be seen in this way, and needs the help of the visualization technique."

"I see." Pear nodded.

Master Qingming deliberately pushed Aji away because he was worried that he would feel uncomfortable watching it, after all, he took a bite.Seimei-sama is really a gentle person.

Qingming turned his head to look at the Qingshui family tablet placed on the table, "Let me offer incense sticks. After offering incense, we will go to the Yulan Basin market."

After burning the incense, the two walked out of the house again.

After only two steps, Qingming frowned slightly, and turned to look back.

"What's wrong?" Lizi followed his gaze, and there was nothing on the empty roof.

"It's nothing." Qingming turned his head back and muttered softly, "I always feel that someone is looking at me there, maybe it's the illusion of the Obon." He took Li Zi's hand, "Let's go, go to the market to buy you a small monogram eat."

"Is there such a thing?" Lizi asked in surprise.

"Of course there is. It is a special food of the Obon, and it is only sold during festivals." Seimei said with a smile.

Thinking that she could finally go to the market in Guangyuan Temple, Lizi immediately became happy, and the two walked out of the mansion holding hands.

No plants were planted in the courtyard, and the moonlight poured unhindered all the way to the ground.On the high eaves, Hayato Shimizu watched their backs indifferently.YouQi stared hard at the boy's back a few times.

After they left, he jumped down and walked into the room, silently looking at the Shimizu tablets all over the room.The dark plaques in the room are undoubtedly not telling him that the Qingshui family is now withered.

One person is missing from these tablets.Xiaoli thought he was not dead, so she didn't do it for him.

In fact, he was already dead.

"Is that little girl your sister?" Yamata said suddenly.

"Are you awake?" Hayato Shimizu lowered his face.

"Well, what are you going to do next time so that I can close my eyes and don't always put me to sleep. Every time I wake up, I feel dizzy." Yamata complained.

"You woke up this time too, and didn't close your eyes."

"Well, because I want to see what you are doing mysteriously."

Hayato Shimizu disappeared from the air, and the next second appeared on the mountain outside Heianjing.

"Now that you have found your sister, you can actually consider eating her," Yamata said. "Only the flesh and blood of your closest relatives can free you from the curse. This can be done once and for all."

"I would rather disappear." Shimizu Hayato said lightly, "Compared with the pursuit of power by the monster race, we humans value family affection more. If I have to choose one to live, I will definitely not choose myself."

Yamata sighed softly, "Okay, then let's continue on the path of doing evil. Tonight's Heian-kyo is destined to be not peaceful."

Hayato Shimizu smiled faintly, "Don't blame this kind of thing on me, Yamata. You've always been the one who wanted to mess up the Three Realms and become a god again, right?"

"Although this is the case, don't you also want to gain power?" Yamata said with a smile, "Okay, our goals have always been the same. I'm sorry about today's incident, and I will never persuade you to eat my sister again. "

"I hope you are just persuading," Hayato Shimizu said indifferently, "Isn't it your usual style to stab a knife with a smile like a spring breeze?"

"Yes, this is me," Yamata said with a smile, "but since you don't want to, then forget it. I stay in the same body, and I will be seen by you no matter what I do. So don't worry about me stabbing my sister. knife."

"It's my sister."

"Yes, yours."

Lizi sat at the low table, and Seimei quickly brought two bowls of food with sauce.

The pear scooped up a little with a small spoon and tasted it, "it's like a soft glutinous rice cake."

"It's not glutinous rice, it's made of flour," Seimei said. "Stir the flour, seasoning, vegetables and seafood together, and pour it on a red-hot iron plate. The bottom is burnt, and the sauce is poured on it, which is monjayaki." gone."

Use a small spoon to eat pears, and sure enough, you can see octopus feet and vegetable pieces in it. "The scorched part at the bottom is like a crust, it's delicious to chew."

Qingming smiled and was just about to pick up the spoon, when a person squeezed over, "It smells so good, it looks like the ingredients are very sincere and burnt. Well, it's been a long time since I saw such a sincere food."

Lizi opened her eyes wide, hey, isn't this the cunning ghost who tricked them into drinking sweet water last time?

The slippery ghost also recognized the two of them, and rubbed his hands happily, "Great, it's an old acquaintance. I like watching old acquaintances eat the most."

"Couldn't it be that the habit of slippery ghosts has flared up again, and they come to eat and drink again?" Qingming said with a smile.

"Ah, that can't be helped. Every monster has its own habits, and we like to make friends." The slippery ghost painted a golden light on his race's cheating behavior.

"Well, how about it, just like last time, you guys give me Monjayaki, and I'll give you a secret," said the slippery ghost.

Lizi's heart skipped a beat, and she checked the book after that incident.It is said that monsters like slippery ghosts are very special, and they can always know many secrets that everyone desperately keeps.And because they have a wide range of friends and are just and fair.Everyone also likes to find a slippery ghost to supervise when they bet.It is a righteous demon.

So, what secret will he reveal this time?Her wooden board was almost full.If the slippery ghost can point her to a bad monster to kill...

Thinking of this, she immediately looked at Qingming.

With just one glance, Seimei guessed what she was thinking.He smiled lightly, and pushed the untouched copy to the slippery ghost, "Please use it."

The slippery ghost thanked with a smile, and clapped his hands, "Then I'll start."

Lizi ate the Monjayaki in small bites, occasionally glancing at the slippery ghost.The other party ate very sweetly and elegantly.This kind of monster seems to be born to make people have a good impression of them.Seeing that he ate so deliciously, she had the urge to buy another one for him.

The slippery ghost finished his last bite and squinted his eyes contentedly, "It's really a pity to receive such a good reception. But I think you will be interested in my news, and it should be enough for this delicious meal." He turned around, " Well, look around, don't you feel a little strange?"

Strange?

Lizi turned her head and looked around. Everyone was walking around the market with a smile on their faces, some buying dolls and some food.With the sound of drums and music in the distance, it looks peaceful.

A huge gigantic chariot drove over in the distance, and the people dressed up as various ghosts began to parade along the streets with the gigantic chariot.

"It's nothing." She turned her gaze back to the slippery ghost.

"No, look at the bowls of those diners." The slippery ghost said.

Diner's bowl?

Lizi turned her face away suspiciously, and there were many diners sitting in the surrounding food stalls.They either eat glutinous rice balls or drink sweet water.But what is a little abnormal is that there are a lot of bowls in front of them.Some even piled up into towers.

"It's a hungry ghost." Qingming's eyes dimmed.

"That's right," said the slippery ghost, "it's not just one, there are many, many hungry ghosts attached to human bodies. That's why I came to eat with you, because I know that begging for food from hungry ghosts is just asking for fun. "

"Very hungry, really hungry."

"Why are you always hungry?"

"Ah, another bowl, my stomach is empty."

Li Zi stood up and looked towards the farther food stall, and almost everyone who sat down to eat showed extremely greedy eating faces.Not only that, more people joined in, shouting how hungry and buying a lot of food.

"If they eat like this again, not only will they not be full, but their stomachs will burst." Qingming said with worry.

A parade of ghosts passed by, and the curtain of the huge chariot decorated with women's heads was blown open by the wind.Shuten-douji, whom I had seen on the hillside, was half-lying in it, eating melon seeds.The human who caught a glimpse of the hungry ghost threw a handful of melon seed husks at him with a look of disgust.

Seeing Lizi from the corner of his eye, he jumped out of the car with a smile on his face, "You guys are the most different onmyojis and witches I've ever seen. You actually sit with a slippery ghost and eat monjayaki."

"You are also the most different ghost king I have ever seen," Lizi said, "sitting in a fake giant car and eating melon seeds."

"I just made a pot of good sake." Shuten Doji said with a smile, "Ah, I won't accompany you. I saw the onmyoji from the brigade coming. They probably can't talk as well as you."

"Where are you going to hide?" The slippery ghost asked in a panic.He was also afraid that Onmyoji would take him down indiscriminately.

"What else is more suitable for me than the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts?" Jiu Tun Doji said with a smile, "No one can be more like the Dajiangshan Ghost King than me." He jumped back into the giant car.

"Good idea, I can also play the role of Slick." The Slick stood up and hurried into the parade.

In this way, the two real monsters mixed into the team of fake ghosts, and pretended to follow along.

With more and more hungry people around, Qingming also felt like a formidable enemy.With one hand he drew the pear to him, and with the other he reached for the charm.

"After a while, Yin Yang will force out the possessed hungry ghosts, you have to be careful not to let them get close to you."

"It doesn't matter if you get close." Lizi also took out the spell, eager to try it, "My wooden sign is just a little bit short. Tonight's hungry ghost is just right."

Qingming glanced at her with a smile, "I almost forgot. But there will be chaos in a while, and we will be in trouble if we accidentally get separated." As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of onmyoji formed their seals at the same time, and the dark sky swished. Dozens of rays of light fell from the ground.Annoyed screams erupted from the crowd.

It was the sound of ghosts.

In an instant, hundreds of blue-gray ghost figures emerged from the crowd.Although the common people cannot see the hungry ghosts, they can feel the cold wind.Seeing so many onmyojis appear, everyone immediately knew that there were monsters around them.Screaming and running around.

Lizi was originally standing behind Qingming, but was squeezed by several burly men, and could no longer find him.

A hungry ghost with a big belly caught a glimpse of her running towards her, and she immediately let go of the spell, and two bolts of lightning struck at the same time.The hungry ghost let out a shrill cry and turned into green smoke and disappeared.

She suddenly turned her head to see who had also thrown the Thunderbolt Talisman, and a lazy smile of Qingming in black was reflected in her pupils.

"How did you come out? Hey, are you still alive?"

"I won't die if he doesn't die." Hei Yi Qingming said in a lazy voice, "Today is the Yu Lan Basin, the time when the human world and the ghost world intersect, so I can come out." He grabbed her by the collar and slipped away. Beside him, a hungry ghost flew away with one-handed seal, "You're blocking me."

"You're not an onmyoji, why do you still come to catch hungry ghosts?" Lizi wondered.

The boy in black locked a hungry ghost with a black-smelling chain, and smiled lightly, "Just playing." After saying this, he took off a leaf and threw it at the hungry ghost. The hungry ghost was instantly invisible. The weight was crushed into blue smoke.

"Then you play here." Lizi threw a spell in the other direction, wanting to quickly harvest a wooden card filled with it.Last time, the wooden sign made the flat paper-cut three-dimensional.Although the combat power is stronger than before, the attack power of the miniature animals is still weak.Encountering thick skin is nowhere near scratching the itch.

The moment her wind talisman landed on the hungry ghost, the hungry ghost was crushed by the leaves again.

"What are you doing to rob me?" She turned her head angrily.

"Hey, it's strange, have all the hungry ghosts here written your name, so others can't hit you?" The black-clothed boy said with a smile, his face was full of finding fault.

It seems that it is still the bad bad Seimei.

Lizi squeezed into the crowd, planning to fight monsters in another place.

But no matter where she switched, the hungry ghost was always crushed to death by the leaves the moment she threw the spell.

"Your wooden sign is almost full, right?" Hei Yiqingming asked.

"How do you know?" Li Zi looked at him in surprise, and immediately realized it.He lives in Master Qingming's body, doesn't he just know everything?

"Just call me Lord Qingming, and I'll fill you up with wooden signs." The boy in black said lazily.

"You are not helping at all, you are coercing." Lizi said angrily.

"Well, you can use whatever word you want," Heiyi Qingming said with a nonchalant smile, "Just one word, Master Qingming, and you can get a wooden sign full of light. I'm so tempted by such a good deal."

Hearing the same words as tricking her into drinking red bean water, she was angry and helpless.

Just as they were bickering in the corner, the hungry ghosts that had been wiped out came out of the ground again, and the number increased tenfold.

Heiyi Qingming was taken aback, "Hey, who is so powerful, stabbed the hungry ghost's den?"

"It's ghost eyes. I don't know who opened the ghost eyes of the Hungry Ghost Dao to the gate of Guangyuan Temple. Now there are endless hungry ghosts coming out of it." Qingming appeared in front of them, and he gently touched Qingming in black. With a glance, "You drove a few strong men to squeeze me away just now?"

Qingming in black slightly curled his lips, "It's not me, I'm not that boring. Think carefully about who you offended recently?"

"Who?" Qingming asked suspiciously.

On the top of the pagoda of Guangyuan Temple, Hayato Kiyomizu slowly absorbed the rising energy of Heian-kyo, "It's still too little."

"Because the onmyoji prevented it. If you can let the hungry ghosts attach more human bodies, their greed for food will be enough for you to persist for a while." Yamata said with a smile, "but there is one problem."

"what?"

"Why did you force the strong man to push the boy away?"

Hayato Shimizu absorbed the turquoise energy for a while, and said lightly, "I don't like seeing him."

Yamata chuckled, "So that's the case, then I will keep the same attitude as Shimizu."

The hungry ghost continued to emerge from the ghost's eyes.

"Very hungry, really hungry."

"There are so many people, come and eat for me."

The hungry ghosts yelled and rushed towards the crowd and even the onmyoji.Although they are low-level monsters, the onmyojis are very passive because of the large number.

"It looks like you need to block that ghost eye." Heiyi Qingming said.

"But what do you use to block it?" Qingming picked up the dropped glutinous rice balls and threw them over.The moment the glutinous rice balls fell into the ghost's eyes, they became as big as a bullock cart, but they were swallowed by the hungry ghost in a blink of an eye.

"Look at the stone?" Hei Yiqingming threw a stone that also became the size of a bullock cart.The boulder just blocked the ghost's eye, and the hungry ghost couldn't get out for a while.

Just when the onmyojis breathed a sigh of relief, the boulder trembled slightly, then moved again.

"Boom—" it shattered to pieces.

The hungry ghosts continued to come out of the hole, chewing on rocks.

"It doesn't seem to work," Qingming said, "The evil ghost will eat everything when it's so hungry."

"Indeed," black-clothed Seimei nodded, "you need something with offensive power to block it. It can block and attack at the same time."

"I think you are quite suitable." Qingming glanced at him, dark and aggressive.

"I'm quite suitable," Hei Qingming twitched the corners of his mouth, "but I disappeared at dawn."

Taking advantage of Qingming in black, Lizi successfully used two spells to kill a hungry ghost.The Benping bell tied around his waist immediately made a pleasant sound.

"Ah, it's finally full." She said happily.

"What?" Qingming looked back at her.

Lizi looked at Ben Pingling thoughtfully, "I seem to know what the second tadpole is for."
