juvenile onmyoji

Lizi wrote her name on the horizontal line drawn on the paper, Shimizu Rikako.

The contract emitted a gleam of light, which turned into a thin golden thread and penetrated into the bodies of Rika and Shuten respectively.Jiu Tun turned slightly to avoid it, but was slapped on the back by the old woman's palm.Immediately, he straightened up and met the silk thread frontally, passing through his chest.

Lizi felt a touch in her body, as if something was connected with her fate.

"That's great." The old woman clapped her hands and said with a smile, took out a handful of flowers from her pocket and threw them out to celebrate.This flower is a pear cutting.Wildflowers in clay pots.

"Okay?" Jiu Tun frowned tightly, "I am the majestic ghost king of Dajiangshan to be a shikigami for a little witch. If it gets out, how will I hang out in the demon world in the future?"

"I think it's good, just have a master who can restrain you." The old woman said.

After becoming a shikigami, he loses his freedom, and his life and death are all in the master's mind.If you meet a bad master, it will be a disaster, and you will use Shikigami as a dog; if you meet a warlike master, it will be a disaster, and you will be sent out to fight every day;

Encountering a weak master is also a disaster, always rushing to the front line.All in all, after signing the contract, one cannot disobey the master's order, otherwise one will be cursed by the contract.

Thinking of this, Shuten-douji became even more depressed.

"Okay, think about how many years I have been locked in the jar by you. If it wasn't for the benefactor, I would still be in it."

As soon as the old woman said that, Jiu Tun-douji immediately showed guilt, and dared not say anything wrong again.

"That's it," the old woman bowed to Lizi and Qingming, and then looked at Jiu Tun, "I'm going to reincarnate. The ghost director of Huangquan Kingdom said yesterday that if you go early, you can catch up with the wave."

Her eyes showed a bit of kindness and a bit of reluctance, "I am very happy to be your mother in this life, but it is a pity that I can no longer accompany you."

Shuten-douji turned his head away, stared at the little chrysanthemum in the garden and said, "It's a long-winded..."

The old woman smiled slightly, and the radiance disappeared.

Shuten-douji waited for a while, then suddenly turned his head and showed panic, "Have you already left?"

Lizi nodded, "Let's go."

Shuten-douji blinked his eyelashes in disbelief.Two seconds later, his eyes were suddenly bloodshot, and he turned his head away again and tried hard to hold back the welling tears.

Seeing this, Suzaku all left the yard, and even Qingming went back into the house, leaving Lizi alone.

After a long time, Shuten-douji turned his face away and lowered his head.From Lizi's angle, the water on his eyelashes could just be seen.

"Hmm...I'm going to the shrine." Riko said.

"Shrine?" Shuten-douji wiped his face with his arm indiscriminately, "Oh, yes, you are a priestess. Then... shall I drive?"

"That's not necessary." Li Zi said a little embarrassed, "there is a regular driver at home."

"Then what do I do? I have no experience as a shikigami." Shuten asked, "What do that guy's shikigami do?" He pointed Seimei with his chin.

Lizi recalled Suzaku and Teng Snake, "Sweeping the floor, cooking, cleaning the house, making the bed, doing laundry, doing carpentry..."

Every time Shuten-douji said something, his face darkened.

"Got it, I'll try to do it."

"That... there's no need." Riko said, "This is the first time I have a shikigami, and I have no experience in this kind of thing."

Shuten took a serious look at her, and muttered, "What a lucky guy. The first shikigami is an outstanding talent like me."

Li Zi eye-to-eye with him for a while.

"Okay," Shuten-douji said, "Since you don't need a coachman, I'll wait for you at home. Anyway, when you need to call me, just write my name in blood." After he finished speaking, he jumped to the roof and lay down with his legs crossed Down.

Lizi narrowed her eyes and glanced at him on the roof, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

When he came back at night, Shuten-douji had disappeared.

Qingming sat on the porch reading a book, and immediately put the book down when she came back.

"Where's Shuten-douji?" Riko asked.

Seimei showed a hint of amusement when he mentioned this, and just as he was about to answer Suzaku, he walked in with a food box and brought out all the food.Dinner is red bean paste buns, sushi, miso soup and pickles.But only for one person.

Li Zi looked at the meal with some doubts.Although Yebisu Shrine served two meals, she skipped that one in order to come back early.She was just about to ask when she saw Shuten-douji walking in with a food box.

Suzaku was always expressionless.This time she showed a rare smile, and made room for Shuten-douji.

"So my food is with you." Lizi suddenly realized.Shuten-douji probably saw Seimei's shikigami carrying food for him, so he also carried it.

With an unnatural expression on Shutendouji's face, he put the food box in front of Riko.

"Thank you." Lizi said as she lifted the lid of the food box, a burning smell came out immediately.

There was a blackened bean paste bun inside, and the stuffing was too much and it was exposed.But the most important thing is not the amount of stuffing, but that this is a dead dough bean paste bun, and the stuffing is wrapped without using yeast dough at all.A disc burst.Deep-fried sushi, also because too much rice and vegetables can't wrap it.

A bowl of overcooked miso soup.It is very sticky, and it can be seen that there is a lot of miso in it, and it is directly stirred into a paste.Among these things, only small pickles are in good condition because they are directly fished out of the pickle jar.But Shuten-douji seemed to be worried that she would not be full, so he filled five dishes of pickles.

Suzaku grinned, "Shuten-douji saw that I only put a little miso in the miso soup, so he thought I was abusing Lord Seimei. He poured it all in for you."

"Similarly, the red bean paste bun also thought that I put very little stuffing. I picked a big spoonful for you while saying that I picked it up, but it couldn't be wrapped. The key is that I told him that the dough should be fermented with yeast, and he smelled the yeast. I thought the noodles were sour and refused to use them.”

After saying this, Qingming couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly, and Teng She even laughed outside.

Shuten-douji stood leaning against the door frame with his arms folded, his expression very ugly.

Lizi broke open the dead flour bean paste bun, tasted a little of the bean paste inside, "the stuffing is not bad." At least it was cooked.She took another bite.burst.Fried sushi rolls, "This one is also good." Although it is too ugly to look at, it is at least edible.

Jiu Tun's cold eyes softened slightly.He snorted softly, strode over to pick up the lid of the food box, turned around and asked Suzaku, "I see you made a lot more, can you bring those?"

"Of course, it was made for Xiaoli." Suzaku smiled and turned and walked out of the courtyard.After a while, I brought a food box.

Lizi opened it and took out the same meal as Qingming, then turned to Jiu Tun with a smile and said, "Thank you very much for cooking for me today. As the ghost king of Dajiangshan, I guess you haven't even touched firewood."

"Hmph, I always use that kind of thing to beat people." Shuten-douji said lazily.

"Anyway, thank you for cooking."

"Cut." Shuten-douji was not used to hearing words like thank you, they monsters are all bastards.Egg idiot talk.He turned and walked out, leaped to the roof and lay down.

There was a gorgeous sunset in the sky, and Shuten-douji looked at the clouds without blinking, leaning on his arms.

The evening in Heian-kyo seems to be very beautiful.

Seimei said while stirring the miso soup, "Let Suzaku do the cooking, and the servants at home will do the chores. Your shikigami will be responsible for guarding you."

Riko knew that she was speaking to Shuten-douji on the roof.

At night, as soon as Lizi fell asleep, she heard the sound of lying down from the roof.

At this time, Qingming happened to remember that he had something to say, so he came over from Banqiao.As soon as he reached out to pull and push the door, a figure jumped down beside him.Shuten-douji, who stretched out his hand to hold Seimei's wrist, said with a nonchalant smile, "Isn't it appropriate, Master Onmyoji."

"What's inappropriate?"

"At this time, Shimizu-sama has already rested, and his clothes must have been changed into thin pajamas, please come back tomorrow." Shuten-douji squeezed between Seimei and Pushing the door, folded his arms and showed a smile that was not a smile .

Qingming looked at him with some amusement, "I never thought that the reason Xiaoli accepted Shikigami was to wait for me here."

Shuten-douji didn't answer, but the expression on his face was full of intolerance.

When Lizi heard this scene in the room, she couldn't help laughing until her stomach ached.

Because of the arrival of Shuten-douji, this small courtyard is a little different.According to Teng She, Lizi is like having a new father suddenly, and Qingming is always supervised by a pair of eyes.

"It's inappropriate, Lord Onmyoji."

Shuten-douji always uttered such words to stop Seimei.

The hooked chin is not suitable, the handle is not suitable, as long as Li Zi returns to the dormitory, Shuten Doji will guard the Banqiao like a door god.

"You actually have another name called Qiao Ji, right?" Qingming said lightly.

On the day of Obon, the boy who gave him the opportunity to check his body in Kamogawa was gone forever.

On the way back from the shrine, Riko bought a piece of black cloth embroidered with wine gourds.After returning, she gave Suzaku to ask him to make a suit.

Hand it over to Shuten-douji in the garden that day.

"For me?" Shuten-douji raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Well, it's autumn, I think you should cover yourself tightly." Lizi glanced at the young man Chi.bare arms.After all, he is his own shikigami, so he has to keep up with the benefits he deserves.

"I don't want it," Shuten-douji refused, "I'm so angry that I have to show my chest in winter."

Lizi: "..." Are you Huowa?Huowa also has gourds.

"If Huo is big, you should be fine and go to Eizo." Qingming said calmly in the corridor.

Ezo was Hokkaido in later generations, and it was a very cold place.

"I can't, my master is here after all." Shuten-douji glanced lazily at Seimei.After saying this, he took the clothes and smiled in Qingming's direction, "The clothes are so beautiful. Ah, there is my favorite wine gourd on it."

Seimei stood up, holding the paper between his hands, and walked towards his room expressionlessly.

Not long after, he came out again, holding a leather talisman bag in his hand.

"You did it?" he asked Lizi.

Lizi nodded, "I saw this piece of leather when I was buying fabric. I thought your talisman bag was a bit old, so I bought it and made a new one."

"So that's it." Qingming's eyes were soft, "No wonder you gave the fabric to Suzaku to make. It turns out that all your time is spent making talisman bags."

"Yeah." Lizi nodded, um, why do you think this is a bit awkward?

"That's great, there's my favorite little white fox on it." Qingming said with a smile.

Shuten-douji: "..."

The Onmyoji Trial Conference will start in two days.Onmyoji from all over the world gathered in Heianjing.In addition to the four major families, Harima, Hinata, Tosa, and Kamo, there are also some fragmented small families.

Qingming reported Lizi's name, and soon got the list of groups.He is a high-ranking onmyoji named Kitahara Sosuke in his 40s.He can also be regarded as Qingming's senior brother, because he has studied with He Mao Zhongxing.At present, I did not go to Yinyang Liao, but received orders at home.

"Can I get business without going to Yinyangliao?" Lizi was a little surprised.

"Because the folks also have a lot of demand," Qingming said, "not only for weddings and funerals, but also for ordinary people who have questions, they will habitually seek out an onmyoji for divination."

"For example, if you accidentally break a bowl, you will ask an onmyoji for fortune-telling. When you encounter a dog blocking the way, you will also ask an onmyoji for fortune-telling. It can be said that no matter how big or small, you can't do without an onmyoji."

"Compared to the business affairs of the Yinyang Liao, the common people are more willing to find private onmyojis who can be discussed. Therefore, after completing their studies, quite a few people give up the opportunity to enter the Yinyang Liao to do their own divination at home."

"I see." Pear nodded.

"This brings us to a problem," Seimei said, "The miko recommended by Kitahara Sosuke is Nanako."

Riko couldn't help sighing immediately, "Why do I always meet Nanako Kamo?"

"But Beiyuan didn't want to bring Nanako with him. He was very happy to hear that I invited you. He said that he admired the secret-level Yin-Yang technique you showed that time."

Seimei smiled and said, "But it's not easy for him to reject the teacher's daughter, because Nanako asked him to, so he had to put her on the recommendation list. I think Nanako will go to you soon."

"Find me? Let me quit voluntarily?"

"That's right. Because Beiyuan has already told her that I don't want to be on her team, then she may go to you. Just reject her."

"Ah, it's so annoying." Pear spread out on the table.

Seimei smiled and patted her head, and from the corner of her eye, she saw the gaze of Shuten-douji sitting under the cherry tree.

"Just rubbing your hair, isn't that appropriate?" Qingming said lightly.

Shuten-douji looked back again.

"Your shikigami is so annoying, let me teach you how to put him away." Seimei said.

"Put it away?" Lizi's eyes widened slightly, "Is it like storing things?"

"Well, after becoming a shikigami, there will be an exclusive place. That's where the abandoned shikigami stay. But you can also put the unused shikigami there temporarily." Seimei said lightly, "Control the disobedient Shikigami, or punishing a shikigami who did something wrong can do the same thing. It’s okay to leave it for a lifetime without taking it out.”

Riko sneaked a glance at Shuten-douji, and found that his face was pale under the sun.

"Why are there abandoned shikigami?" She turned her head and asked again.

"As I told you the other day, because you inadvertently named the utensils and created your own shikigami. There are many onmyojis who do the same, accidentally get strange shikigami. These shikigami are useless at all , and live together with each other. In order to keep out of sight and out of mind, I will choose to discard Shikigami."

"Why throw it away? Can't you let him go free?"

"There is no room for repentance once you become a shikigami, unless you die. A better onmyoji chooses to put the shikigami you don't want, and there is hope of taking them out. The bad ones will be discarded directly."

"But when Shikigami is seriously injured, the situation is critical and there is no place for him to heal, you can choose to put him away. Just like when we were on the bottom of the sea, when the explosion happened, I sent Suzaku and Soaring Snake Put it away."

"I see." Lizi felt relieved, like a double-edged sword, everything has two sides.Since this method can temporarily protect shikigami, it is better to learn it.

"Do you want to learn?" Qingming asked with a smile.

"want."

……

Riko suddenly realizes that Shuten-douji has become super attentive.She usually goes to the shrine alone.But when she learned how to put away the shikigami, Shuten-douji started commuting with her.

Even when she was selling the gomori, Shuten-douji was also selling it.

He is good-looking and has a high voice, and there are more female customers all of a sudden.Every day before the end of work, the omamori are sold out.When encountering local hooligans, Jiu Tun-douji became fierce in a second, and started to spiral in circles while holding it with one hand.

"Bastard, you dare to act wildly at my stall, and even scare my owner. Don't you admit your mistake?"

"Ah, I'm so dizzy, please forgive me, I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Hooligan: "..."

There is no need for pears to clean up the booth, and Shuten-douji can make it round by himself.For a while, he seemed to be a non-staff member of Yebisu Shrine.

This day, Lizi is going to call it a day and go home.Turning around, I found that Kamito was talking to Shuten-douji.When he came over, he found a large bag of sugar in his hand.

"Hey, did the God Lord give it to you?"

"Well," Shuten Doji said with an uneasy expression on his face, "She said she worked hard, so she gave this kind of thing."

"It's great, it proves that everyone likes Shuten very much." Riko said with a smile.

"Tch, I like that kind of thing, Ben, I don't care about it." Shuten-douji turned his face away awkwardly, he is a monster, how can humans like monsters?

Li Zi was silent for a while and said, "You came to help recently, are you afraid that I will put you away?"

"It's not just for that reason," Shutendouji said lightly, "Since I have become a shikigami, I have to do my best. I sit in the garden every day and do nothing. Although I protect you every day, it seems that the enemy only Seimei Abe..."

"Hahaha." Lizi immediately laughed when she heard that.

"No, you will be of great help to me in a few days."

"Is it the Onmyoji Trial Conference?" Shuten Doji asked.

"Yes, you will meet a lot of high-ranking onmyojis inside, and their shikigami will be very powerful." Lizi said a little worriedly, "Master Seimei said that although the comparison is not really against the opponent, there will still be casualties every time. "

Shutendouji smiled nonchalantly, "Fighting is something I've never cared about. From my birth to now, the only person who can beat me is my mother."

Mentioning this, Shutendouji looked lonely.That person will never remember him again.

"Will there be a chance to find her after reincarnation?" Lizi asked.

"I won't look for it if I have the chance," Jiu Tundoji said. "Reborn as a human, I hope she will not be disturbed by the previous life. But when she goes to Huangquan Kingdom again, I will look for her. At that time, she remembered Me. Thinking about it carefully, for the Yaozu, the mere decades of human life is still very easy to wait for."

"Ah, I remembered," Shuten-douji's words reminded Riko, "I remember meeting a young boy when I went to Tosa. His name was Ootengu. His ancestors had served as Kokaku God formula."

"Is Yan Xiaojiao the ancestor named He Mao Zhongxing?"

"Yes," Lizi nodded, "but later the ancestors of the big tengu retired to the mountains. I think the way to break the shikigami contract should be the death of the onmyoji. When you go to the underworld to find your mother again, you Already free."

Shuten-douji was startled for a moment, and realized that she was saying that the contract would be terminated naturally when she died.While he waits to be with his mother, Riko also slowly dies.

"Ah, I finally found you." A girl in a water-green kimono ran over panting.Before she could stand still, she bent down, put her hands on her thighs, and began to pant again.

"Nanako?" Riko thought of what Seimei said yesterday when she saw her, so accurate.

"You don't need to say it, I know your purpose. I can't quit." Lizi said.

Nanako finally got her breath, raised her face and said sincerely, "I know you think I can't help you. But that was in the past. Yesterday my father caught me a youkai to be a shikigami. With the shikigami I It can help."

"Shikigami?" Riko asked.

"Well, I have a shikigami, and I'll summon it for you to see." Nanako took out a small bamboo tube from her pocket, dipped her finger into it, and said, "I can't bear the bloodletting every time I summon a shikigami. I It can only be accepted once."

"So you put it in the bamboo tube and you keep it?" Lizi was speechless, "Won't it go bad?"

"Blood is blood, can the sea of ​​blood still be broken?" Nanako wrote a name in the air while talking.

The air vibrated slightly, and a dragon made of rags appeared in front of him.

"Bai, Bai Rongyi?" Lizi said in surprise.Isn't this a trial opportunity for youkai that Yuzao gave her before?She used this to summon Tamamo to the bottom of the sea to rescue him.

"Puhahaha." Jiu Tun-douji immediately covered his stomach and laughed, "What a good shikigami, do you want my lord to give up the qualification to compete just because of Bai Rongyan?"

"Who are you? You dare to offend me?" Nanako blushed, staring at Shuten-douji while looking at Bai Rongyi suspiciously.Isn't this a very powerful monster?That's what her father said to her yesterday when he caught it.

"Bai Rongyi is Fusangshin, the lowest level monster." Shuten Doji said lightly, "Who would use Fusangshin as a shikigami? Fusangshin are things that monsters devour to increase their strength. They are food .”

"Youkai's... food?" Nanako's face turned red and then white, no wonder she pestered her father to ask for a shikigami yesterday, and he agreed so readily.In the end, she was given a fusangshen.

She understands Fu Sangshen, it's written in the monster album.But the atlas of monsters only mentions Fu Sangshen, not how many types there are.How did she know that Bai Rongyi was Fu Sangshen?

"No wonder you said that, Fu Sangshen is also a shikigami." She said bravely, "I have a shikigami now, but you don't. I heard that the rigid rule of this conference is that there must be a shikigami."

"Did you stipulate it?" Lizi was a little speechless, "It is very difficult to get a good shikigami. Usually they are inherited from the ancestors. Only a powerful onmyoji can get a contract shikigami. For example, Lord Seimei's Soaring Snake."

"I don't care, you have no shikigami..."

"Who said she didn't have it," Shuten Doji said impatiently, "I'm so big standing here, can't you see?"

"Shimizu's shikigami?" Nanako looked at Shuten-douji in disbelief, she thought it was a son of some family, he was so handsome.

"Well, so what, as you said. Good shikigami are hard to come by. Your shikigami is only a little more handsome than mine, but it's actually a kind of fusangshin, right?"

"Fu Sangshen?" Jiu Tun Douzi smiled lazily, stretched out his hand and pinched the air casually, and Bai Rongyi scattered into powder without even a chance to scream.

He turned to Nanako, his whole body was full of evil spirit.The huge fiery red demon pressure made Nanako bend down uncontrollably.He didn't let her go until the other party was forced to bow to him, restraining her evil spirit.

Jiu Tun-douzi's slightly upturned peach-blossom eyes are extraordinarily flamboyant under the setting sun, "I, Da Jiang Shan Ghost King, am Shimizu-sama's shikigami."

Alcoholic Diary

Fire Day (Sunny)

What the hell, I, Shuten-douji, the ghost king of Oeyama, will one day become a human shikigami?This is thanks to my old mother.She beamed and reincarnated as a young girl again, and threw me here.

Looking at the human girl in front of me who can be crushed with one hand... Looking at her fragile appearance with her eyelashes lightly blinking, I feel that if I say a harsh word, she will cry immediately.Forget it, let's do it for now, anyway, human life is very short, so I just pretended that I suddenly found a short-term job.

However, it seems that she is not so bad.When everyone laughed at Grandpa Ben's elaborate food, she was the only one who didn't dislike it and even tasted a little.Strange, why is the corner of my mouth upturned?It was her honor to be able to eat the meal made by Dajiangshan Ghost King for the first time.

Besides, I did something to repay her.The onmyoji next door with a fox face doesn't look like a good person.I've known it since the day of Kamogawa.Everyone has a good-looking face, and with this kind of face, the girl will never refuse anything she does.Who doesn't know this kind of cognition?Dare to play this set in front of my uncle is really underestimated.

Hmph, let me show you what I can do.

On the first day of being a shikigami, I was homesick and missed my mother.
