juvenile onmyoji

"Is it really all right? Her father is Kamoo Tadayuki, a well-known big. Onmyoji." Riko asked, looking at the back of Nanako running back to the bullock cart in embarrassment.

"A mere human, I don't care about it." Shuten Doji twitched the corners of his mouth, saying that I am only a little better than Rag Junjun, damn it.

"Forget it, it's hard to get along with Nanako anyway. It's okay to be unhappy again." Riko said so and got on the bullock cart.Shuten-douji immediately jumped behind the coachman and sat down, his legs dangling outside the car.

When walking halfway, there was a strong smell of wine and chrysanthemum coming from the side of the road.

"It's chrysanthemum wine." Shuten Doji's voice came from outside the car.

Lizi's heart moved slightly, and she told the driver to stop the car.

"Want a drink?" she asked.

Shuten-douji's throat moved slightly, but he didn't speak.But the eyes that kept looking at the tavern revealed his thoughts.

"Let's make some." Lizi said as she walked towards the wine bureau.Shuten-douji immediately jumped down to follow, "This kind of wine is very expensive, just drink a little."

"Does the King of Ghosts in Dajiang Mountain also think that wine is expensive?" Lizi asked curiously.

"I think it's expensive. Monsters are only interested in flesh and blood, but occasionally they come to the human world and find other good things. These good things cost money."

"What should I do if I want to buy something?" Lizi said while gesturing for him to put the wine gourd on it, "Please fill it up."

"Turn stones or leaves into money, or just rob."

pear:"……"

It's the true nature of a monster.

The owner beats the wine from cedar barrels.He thought that he could fill up the small wine gourd the size of a palm with one scoop.But when the gourd was poured down, there was no movement in the little wine gourd.He tried to put another scoop in it, and after shaking it, it seemed that there was only a drop of wine in it.

So, one scoop after another.Riko and Shuten-douji outside the counter had been chatting nonsense, and when they came back to their senses, the shopkeeper poured a cedar barrel that was half a person's height into a small gourd.After shaking it, there seemed to be only a foundation inside.

The store collapsed.

"Ah, you beat so much?" Shutendouji changed color slightly, "My gourd can hold the water of the world, but it won't be enough." He glanced at Li Zi, worried about her purse.

In his eyes, Lizi is living in Qingming's house, and maybe he doesn't even have a penny.He immediately went to his pocket and found a small stone for drifting.Gently apply force, and the pebbles immediately turned into gold.But this is just a blindfold, and it will become the same after a day.

"How much?" Lizi asked.

"One bucket is four buckets, two taels of silver."

Wow, for [-] Wen, slaves can buy two.

Just as Shuten-douji was about to throw the illusion gold, Riko stopped him, "I'm richer than you think."

Shuten-douji: "..."

The pears were asked to go home by the coachman, while she and Shuten-douji waited here.After a while, Qingming arrived without waiting for the coachman.Qingming came to give money.

"If it belongs to this guy, then I don't want this wine." Shuten-douji said.

"Customer, once this wine is sold, it cannot be returned." The owner said tremblingly.

"You don't have to go back," Shuten-douji could see that Riko wouldn't let him use counterfeit money, "I'll work for you to pay for the liquor."

"Okay," Qingming said with a smile, "it's three taels of silver for a year of work, and you can earn one tael. The most important thing is, I don't have to see you anymore."

"Good idea, I go back to live every day." Shuten-douji said.

Qingming handed the money to the shopkeeper, "Don't worry, it's Xiaoli's money."

"Huh?" Shuten looked at Riko in surprise.

"Just to tell you, I'm rich, and I still have a house." Lizi said with a smile.

"Then why are we still staying at his house? Let's move out and live by ourselves." Shuten-douji immediately urged.

Seimei glanced at Shuten-douji lightly, "Move out to eat your fried sushi and pure miso soup?"

"We can hire a cook and a servant," Shuten-douji said.

"Using Xiaoli's money?" Qingming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Do you know how hard it is for Xiaoli's money to come by? When I first met her, she was almost eaten by a mountain spirit. Because her home was gone and she was penniless." Wen followed me to Heian-kyo. Later, he was thrown into the country of mirrors by Yamata no Orochi's servants. He was completely wounded and destroyed Yamato no Orochi's conspiracy in one fell swoop, and put the mirror-eating beast into Huang Quanguo, and rescued Amaterasu."

"I got a house and some money by relying on the experience of a narrow escape. I don't let her move out, one is because it is not safe for her to live alone. The other is that I can let my shikigami take care of her nearby and save her money. Xiaoli He has always been such a worrying child."

Jiu Tun-douji: "..." Why do you feel that you, who just spent two taels of silver, are so vicious?

"Do you think she should be allowed to move out? Moving out is all money." Qingming said quietly.

"Don't move." Shutendouji said decisively, is there anything more cost-effective than rubbing the oil on this annoying guy?

"Well then, let's go home." Seimei smiled and walked out of the tavern holding Lizi's hand.

Shuten-douji narrowed his eyes slightly, this cunning guy like a fox, I was fooled by the set of words just now.After all, is it not to let Master Shimizu go?Well, but why do you still think what he said makes sense even though you know he has bad intentions?It's really cheap to live in his house.

But did Lord Shimizu do so many things before?Ah, it seems that he can't spend her money like this.

Hey, wait, just now Abe Seimei held Shimizu-sama's hand, right?How dare you do such a thing in front of him, it's disgusting.

"Why did Master Qingming come?" Lizi asked while sitting in the bullock cart.

"I planned to come, because you didn't come back for a long time." Qingming said with a smile, leaning against the wall of the car very comfortably.Because Shuten-douji didn't sit in, the space alone with Rika made him very comfortable.

"Ah, by the way, Nanako is here today." Riko said.

"Shuten-douji beat her back?" Seimei asked with a smile.

"Yeah, how do you know?"

"Because Nanako definitely doesn't believe that you have a powerful shikigami, she will try her best to humiliate Shuten Doji."

"Yes, she said that Jiuten Doji is a little bit more handsome than Bai Rongyi." Lizi said.

"So, Shuten-douji will definitely go back." Seimei said with a smile.

Shuten-douji had been listening outside all the time, and when he heard this, he frowned tightly.There is nothing wrong with this sentence at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, Qingming didn't point out why he turned back.After Shimizu-sama's words, it was as if he turned back because the other party humiliated him.

That's not the case at all, he responded because of Master Shimizu.Ah, what a cunning.Are you starting to sow discord between him and Master Shimizu now?

Shuten-douji, who was filled with anger by his own brain, wished he could leave the curtain and rush in.But the unique arrogance of Dajiangshan Ghost King made him fart again.The strands are firmly glued to the deck.

Jiu Tun thought gloomily, asking my uncle to profess his merits, this kind of thing would never be done.Well, looking at it this way, the annoying Abe Seimei seems to have pinched this point.

When I got home, everything went on as usual.Do something casually after eating and it's time to sleep.

Lizi walked into the dormitory, the mattress had already been spread by Suzaku.As soon as she lay down, her arm was bitten by something hard.She sat up and checked, and found that it was a bamboo tube that was as long as a palm and one finger wide.When the plug of the bamboo tube was pulled out, a strong sweet smell rushed out.It is filled with oblate candies.

One was poured out, and it had a boy's face painted on it.This is the very famous Kintaro candy.Kintaro is considered to be a person of great strength, and usually this kind of candy is bought for boys, which means to praise them for being as strong as Kintaro.At first glance, this is the candy bought by the god, in order to encourage Shuten-douji.

This kind of candy, each with a human face painted on it, is very expensive.Shuten-douji probably didn't want to eat alone, so he gave her more than half of it.

Lizi glanced up at the ceiling, circled her hands and said to the ceiling, "Thank you for sharing my delicious candies."

I don't know if he heard it, but the monster's hearing should be pretty good.

On the roof, Shuten Doji was lying on it with his legs crossed, throwing candy into his mouth while chewing.Suddenly, the voice of Qingshui Lihuazi talking in the room was heard.

"Thank you for sharing my delicious candy."

He was slightly taken aback, the corners of his mouth curled up, "I heard it."

……

The Onmyoji Trial Conference has finally begun.

The first few days were individual competitions.In order to prevent the power of Yin Yang from harming the onlookers, the competition is not open to the public.Only the daily results are pasted outside the Yin Yang dormitory.

Qingming is always the top of the high-ranking Onmyoji, and his last match has become very popular all of a sudden.Kamo-ryu has always been regarded as the official school, and Seimei is also regarded as the onmyoji representing Heian-kyo.The last battle required the cooperation of the miko, and even the palace began to inquire about the strength of the miko Seimei chose for him.

Some nobles even recommended their daughters to the emperor to participate in order to make their daughters who are witches stand out.

"Your Majesty, my daughter Nanzi has been a witch for five years. The strength is not comparable to the newcomers who have just been admitted to the witch. This competition is related to the face of our Heianjing, and must be carefully considered."

When there were too many people offering slander, the emperor began to hesitate.He remembered Qingshui Lihuazi's name, and the other party took away a bunch of rewards from him.However, what the ministers seem to say makes sense.After all, newcomers lack experience.

"What's the point? I'm just jealous." Following the casual words, a peerless beauty walked in.

The emperor's eyes lit up, Yuzao's ex-girlfriend.He reached out to pull the other person into his arms, but his body froze slightly, and his mind went blank.

While looking at what the Emperor has to eat, Tamamo said to him, "I will never replace Miko Shimizu Rikako."

"I will never replace Priestess Shimizu Rikako." The Emperor murmured and repeated.

"Whoever says that Qingshui Lihuazi is difficult to take on a big job will be punished."

The Emperor: "Whoever says that Qingshui Lihuazi is difficult to take on a big job will be punished."

"Well, go to sleep, there will be a beauty to accompany you in your dream." Yuzao waved to the emperor.

The emperor nodded blankly, stood up and walked towards the inner hall.

Tamamo sat in the seat where the emperor had sat before, pulled the fruit plate over and started peeling the oranges to eat.

Li Zi sat at home and even listened to the emperor's crimes of several people for her.

Hey, so she is so appreciated by His Majesty?

The day of the teamwork competition finally arrived.Abe Masaki asked the cook to cook a lot of dishes for this.He dare not go out to eat, for fear of being plotted against by other schools.It would be troublesome to add some crotons to the meal.

Yebisu Shrine also put pears on leave early.The altar also asked Lizi for a guardian to keep her safe. "Shh, I didn't ask for it from our shrine. As you know, Ebisu God doesn't care about safety. This is a special request to ask someone to go to Asakusa Kaminarimon Kannon Temple to ask for a safe guard."

Yuan Chuyue also specially sent a basket of persimmons, "I heard that sending persimmons in Datang means that everything goes well. So I also bought a basket for you."

Li Zi thanked and took it over, "I saw Master Chuyu's ranking at the gate of Yinyang Liao, and it is in the front row among the first Onmyoji. I heard that you will also participate in the competition this time?"

"Well, if you meet me, you have to show mercy to me."

The group competition is in the forest behind the Ise Grand Shrine.The forest here is vast.Ise Jingu was built only on the edge of the forest.The game is in the hinterland of the forest.Because the place is big, junior high school and high school are not compared separately.It's just that according to tradition, everyone will not attack players with a lower rank than themselves.

"Hey, I'm really scared now." Yuan Chuyue said, "My brother participated in the last session. I heard that every time someone was carried out bloody. Although the government will send people to treat them, there has never been a death. But I'm still terrified."

"What are you afraid of?" Lizi asked curiously.

Yuan Chuyue hesitated for a moment, "I've been having the same dream recently. In the dream is the forest behind the Ise Shrine. I saw a bloody path winding like a river, extending to the depths of the forest. "

"Could it be that you are under too much pressure to have this dream frequently?"

"There's always been pressure. After waking up from the dream, I asked my brother to do a fortune-telling, but nothing came out of it. Alas."

After Yuan Chuyue left, Lizi told Qingming about the dream.After hearing this, Qingming said, "Then I'll try divination too."

He used the cup Yuan Chuyue had just used as a divination tool.After some divination, the conclusion was that nothing happened.

"Is it really just too much pressure?" Lizi asked doubtfully.Just now in front of Yuan Chuyue, she couldn't say that her dream was unknown, but only said that she might be under a lot of pressure.But how can there be no explanation for having the same dream all the time?

"Although Bu Gu said so, I don't think this should be the result."

"You also think this is strange?"

"Well." Qingming pondered for a while, "Anyway, let's take this dream as an early warning. There is nothing wrong with making more preparations." He said so and took out a piece of paper full of words. "This is the regulation of the collaborative competition, take a look."

Pear took it and glanced at it.In the last competition, Yinyangliao will place a gold, silver and copper talisman paper in the forest.

Gold, Silver and Bronze correspond to the three levels of Onmyoji respectively, with the initial rank, middle rank and high rank.In other words, even if a high-ranking onmyoji finds a low-ranking copper talisman paper, it is useless.The team that finds the talisman and walks out of the forest wins.This winning point counts towards previous individual competitions.

Although the priestesses helped each other in the final competition, the priestesses who won the winning team will get a gold Kagura bell.This Kagura bell belongs to the Noble Phantasm level, and the sound it makes has a chance to stun the opponent.It is a rare life-saving weapon for shrine maidens who are weak in combat.

"Then we should go out as soon as we find the golden talisman paper?" Lizi asked.

"It's not easy," Seimei said with a smile. "There is a spell on this golden talisman paper, and it will play music every moment. It cannot be blocked by magic. Usually the team that finds the talisman paper will run wildly. It's like A target, telling everyone that they have found the talisman paper. But if you don’t run wildly and play music every other moment, you still remind everyone that they have found the talisman paper.”

"Ah, that's too difficult." Li Zi couldn't help frowning, and the ringing sounded every 15 minutes.The forest is so vast, it is impossible to escape in 15 minutes.Yinyangliao is designed like this to make everyone fight.

"If we give the talisman paper to the shikigami, and then put the shikigami away, will the sound be blocked?" Riko asked again.

"No," Qingming said with a smile, "Yinyangliao has thought of everything you think of. The shikigami holding the talisman cannot be taken back."

"Ah, then there is no other way, it seems that we can only type it out. Seimei-sama, what was it like when you participated in the last session?"

"It's miserable, although I got the talisman in the end. But I was the only one in our team who walked out of the forest. The other two passed out in the forest in order to delay the attack. I also broke an arm. Of course, I was installed later. gone."

Qingming shook his left arm, "Because Yinyangliao has prepared a witch doctor, they will ask Amaterasu for help when they encounter very heavy casualties. The players who don't have any worries are almost desperate."

It sounds like a game of death.

"And a class will be more fierce than a class. I was only a middle-ranked onmyoji back then. A high-ranked onmyoji will only be more fierce." Qingming hesitated, "I can have or not for the competition. You don't have to I fought so fiercely because I participated in the competition. If it is really an uncontrollable danger, we will give up looking for the golden talisman paper."

"But, I really want that Kagura Bell."

"You want that Jinshen Leling?" Qingming was a little surprised.

"Think about it, it sounds like a magic weapon for escape." Lizi put her hands on her cheeks and looked forward to it, "I don't have such a thing as a treasure yet."

Qingming smiled slightly, "That's how it is. If you want it, it will definitely be yours. I will get it for you."

……

Another person in the team, Kitahara Sosuke, came early in the morning.Wearing the same dark blue safari suit as Seimei, with a smile on his face.He is over 40 years old this year, and he has to work hard to support his family.But this time without Nanako participating, he suddenly saw hope.

"Seimei," Kitahara Sosuke said with a smile, "as long as we take the first place this time, my personal ranking will be ranked tenth. In the top ten, as long as I am in the top ten, I can get rich rewards. I Whether you can stop working for three years depends on this time."

The reason why there are so many onmyojis participating in each onmyoji competition is also because there is no need to worry about financial problems after participating in it for three years.Onmyoji is a very expensive profession.

He smiled and looked at Lizi again, "When I think of your thirty big spiders, I seem to see my debauchery in the next three years. It's really great. The miko I was in last year can dance Kagura dance. It's really good, very beautiful, but it doesn't help at all when she dances there when others fight."

"Fortunately, Nanako is not participating this time. I am convinced, and I will participate with a Fusangshen. Fusangshen... If this kind of thing is released, other teams will probably die laughing when they see it, and then they will pity us. Let go."

Kitahara Sosuke kept blah blah along the way, and didn't stop until he reached the gate of the city.

A large number of onmyojis have gathered here.More than half of the onmyojis in Fusang came to the conference.Lizi suddenly had a strange idea, so many onmyoji gathered together, it looks better in one pot.

Yinyangliao sent many large carriages similar to Ise Jingu, with charms pasted inside to expand the space.Lizi followed Qingming and Beiyuan into the car.Sitting at the window, she also saw the Genji brothers and sisters passing by next door, as well as the Tosaryu Onmyoji whom she had seen in the wilderness.

Because after getting in the car, they are basically competitors, and everyone doesn't talk to each other.The atmosphere suddenly became extremely dignified.Basically, it is the configuration of two onmyojis and one witch.None of the shikigami followed, waiting to be called at any time.

After driving for half an hour, the carriage arrived at the forest outside the Ise Shrine.Everyone got out of the car and received food and water from Yinyangliao, then walked into the forest in silence.

Qingming also received raw rice and a small pot.Bei Yuan said that most of his strength took over and carried it on his back.Lizi looked up at the dark and steep forest, the trees that blocked the sky and the sun made people feel a sudden sense of fear.For some reason, she suddenly thought of Yuan Chuyue's dream.The meandering blood stretches into the depths of the forest like a river.

"Let's go," Qingming said with a light smile, "Are you getting scared now? It's too late."

Since the time to enter the forest is close to dusk, everyone will start looking for a campsite after entering.In the vast forest, in addition to avoiding opponents, you must also avoid wild animals.

Soon after they entered they found a small clearing near the river.

Before coming, everyone has already filled their stomachs with rice balls, so there is no need to cook.Before dark they gathered some firewood and started a fire.The first to keep warm, the second to drive away the beasts.

When night fell, Qingming took Li Zi to the nearby river to fill the water bladder.In the dark sky, the river is like a silver belt, shining like fish scales.

"Ah, it's Yueyuehe." Lizi said with a smile.

"Tsuyomikawa?" Seimei, who rarely came to Ise, had never heard of this name.

"Well," Lizi nodded with a smile, "it is said that it is the river where Tsukiyomi was born, and making wishes is very effective. Before the witch examination, several of us sneaked in to find this river to make a wish. In the end, we all became official witches. .Although there are also reasons why the assessment is easy, but Yueduhe is really very clever."

Qingming smiled, "Do you still want to make a wish now?"

"Well, since you've met one, let's make another one."

Lizi went to the river and knelt down, clasped her hands together, "Please bless us this time is safe and smooth. It doesn't matter if you get the golden bell or not. Please make sure that Lord Qingming is safe and well."

"Why do you only wish that I am safe?" Qingming asked with a smile.

"Because as long as Master Qingming is safe, he will protect me." Lizi said, "So, Master Qingming is the most important thing. If God can only protect one person, please protect Master Qingming."

The night is coming, Qingming is worth the first night of the night.Beiyuan was too old to stay up all night, so he fell asleep early.Lizi lay down and watched the stars for a while, and gradually fell asleep.

Seimei looked at Lizi's sound asleep, and leaned against the tree trunk with a relaxed body.

There was a crackling sound from the fire, and he gently held the girl's hand in his palm, and said softly, "Even if I don't grant that wish, I won't let you suffer any harm."
