juvenile onmyoji

The blood array in the forest shocked Heian Jing.Although Yinyangliao sent a large group headed by He Maozhong.Onmyoji rushed to the forest, where the blood array had long since disappeared.Only a faint smell of blood lingers among the trees.

big.The onmyojis had to purify for three days before they could get rid of the bloody smell.Avoid giving birth to evil due to the attached spiritual power.

The onmyojis of various schools spent several days recuperating in Heianjing before they managed to regain their strength.The emperor was furious and demanded a thorough investigation of the whole matter, and at the same time distributed gold and silver to appease the onmyojis.In addition, he also specially rewarded Yuan Chuyu.It is precisely because he showed the magic pupil of the treasure that he led everyone out of the illusion.

Although the results of the last match were shocking.However, the evaluation of scores still has to be carried out normally.Everyone handed in the talisman papers they found for testing.It turned out that the silver rune paper and the copper rune paper contained real ones.All the gold talisman papers are fake.Because it is fake, the last test is not included in the total score.

Riko told Seimei about Yamata no Orochi giving the golden talisman paper.Seimei was very surprised at first, then fell silent.

"Master Seimei, why do you think Yamata no Orochi gave me the golden talisman paper?" Li Zi sat at the low table, with her hands on her cheeks, as if she couldn't figure it out, "Last time, he also accidentally let us go. "

Qingming's eyes flickered unnaturally, "I don't know, maybe there is his reason."

"What reason?"

"Maybe he suddenly wants to do good every day."

pear:"……"

In the courtyard, the leaves of the cherry trees turned yellow and fell with the wind.Shuten-douji was sitting alone under a tree, drinking from a small wine glass, with a jar of high-quality sake beside him.It was Seimei's gift to thank Shuten-douji for carrying him out of the forest.

Lizi glanced at Dajiangshan Ghost King, who was drinking non-stop, and then turned her gaze back to Qingming's face, "So, what should we do with this golden talisman paper?"

"It's for you, you can deal with it however you want." Qingming said gently.He was always holding a small hand stove in his arms, because he lost too much blood, even after many days of recuperation, he was still afraid of the cold.

"If I hand it in, Seimei-sama will be number one. What if I don't hand it in?" Riko asked.

"Then there is a high probability that Yinyangliao will not count the results in the forest into the total score. I am still number one." Qingming said.

"I see." Lizi nodded, and said the answer she thought about, "I don't want to hand it in. Because I didn't get it by my own ability. I don't want that reward."

"Yes." Qingming nodded.

Lizi finally breathed a sigh of relief, she has been worried these days that she doesn't know how to tell Qingming about this matter.In all fairness, she didn't want what Yamata no Orochi gave at all.Although she didn't know where His sudden kindness came from, she still didn't want what He gave.

"Then what about Lord Beiyuan? I remember he still needs the bonus he got to support his family."

"Don't worry," Seimei put his hand on the stove, his fingertips were already white with cold. "His Majesty has rewarded everyone with money. Although it is not enough for him to use it for three years, it is enough for him to use it for one year. He has other business to do."

Li Zi nodded, completely relieved.

"Aren't you coming out for a drink?" Jiu Tun-douji turned to them and said, "Drinking alone is very lonely."

Seimei smiled slightly, "Here we come." He put down the hand stove, stood up and went out, sat under the falling yellow leaves of the cherry tree and had a drink with Shuten-douji.

"It's really comfortable." Shuten-douji looked up at the blue sky and said, "It's really comfortable to do nothing, not think about anything, and just drink."

"Indeed." Qingming nodded and drank the wine in the glass.

Lizi looked at them slightly curling the corners of their mouths, as if they were in a good relationship.

Suzaku came in with the medicine for Qingming, and put the medicine on the stone table under the tree.After doing all this, she didn't leave, but turned her head and said, "Xiao Li, there is an onmyoji who claims to be from Tosa at the door looking for you. He has a few words to say to you."

Riko frowned slightly, Tosa's onmyoji?Could it be Katori Yuzuki?

When she came to the gate and took a look, it was of course Katori Yuzuki.She was standing in the front courtyard with her hands behind her back, looking at the large formation drawn on the white sand with great interest.

"Is this drawn by Seimei Abe?" She raised her eyes and asked when she heard Riko's footsteps.

"Yes." Lizi stopped three steps away from her.

"The painting is really good. It is worthy of being the number one high-ranking onmyoji in Heian-kyo." Yuzuki Katori nodded in praise.

Lizi looked at her calmly, "You didn't come to me to praise Master Qingming, did you? Then why did you come?"

"It's nothing." Katori Yuzuki scratched her hair, "I want to ask you, after I came out of the forest, do you think I'm a treacherous person who likes to use tricks?"

"I think it's normal to use tricks in a game." Lizi said lightly, "Although I don't like it, I have to admit that it often works very well."

"But I think you seem to hate me." Katori Yuzuki said.

"That's because you are always chasing and hitting me, which bothers me a lot." Lizi said honestly, "I think you should focus on those who are also onmyojis."

"So that's how it is," Katori Yuzuki suddenly realized, "but I think you are very powerful. I have thought so since that time in the wilderness. You used yin and yang techniques that I have never seen before. Later, I was wandering in Heianjing, walking on the street. I saw a very strange big paper flower. I inquired about it and said that you used it to cure thousands of hungry ghosts when you were in the Yulan basin."

"So I ignited a fierce fighting spirit to compete with you. I didn't chase you to fight." Katori Yuzuki said with some embarrassment, "It happened that there was an opportunity for the Onmyoji Trial Conference, so I thought about competing. "

Lizi nodded, "Then you came to see me today?"

"I'm going back to Tosa. I thought I didn't know anyone when I came to Heiankyo, but you. So I wanted to say goodbye to you." Katori Yuzuki said, "Your shikigami is too powerful, I can't beat it. So I canceled it too. The idea of ​​competing with you. After returning to Tosa, I will definitely practice hard, strive for early promotion, and have the qualifications to compete with you."

"Uh, I'm actually not as good as you say," Riko said, "It's only my shikigami that is good."

"You're too modest. The shikigami signed the contract only after they were defeated. I've inquired about that guy named Shuten-douji is the ghost king of the nearby Oe Mountain. If he hadn't been defeated, wouldn't he have come to do it on his own initiative? Shikigami?"

"That's it." Lizi nodded, "He came here on his own initiative."

"Hahaha, Shimizu, you are so humorous." Yuzuki Katori laughed and said, "Okay, I'm leaving after meeting you. See you again if you have a chance. If you come to Tosa, you must come to me. I live It’s easy to remember, it’s the house with the words Katori hanging on the left side of the Tosa headquarters.”

Pear nodded.

Katori Yuzuki immediately showed a happy smile.

……

In late October, the smell of autumn is getting stronger and stronger.The leaves are all gone.The plants in the yard showed a scene of decay.At this time, it is no longer possible to sit on the porch with the door open.Lizi also changed into late autumn clothes.Even sitting in the house during the day has to be covered with a thick shawl.

Jiu Tun-douji did not choose to go back to Dajiangshan, but wrote a letter at random and arrested Zhi Fusangshen to let him take it there.When he was writing the letter, Riko accidentally glanced at it, and there were only a few words written on it, "I am safe in Heianjing. I have something important to do, and I won't be going back for decades. You can discuss your own life."

Lizi was at a loss, would anyone believe this kind of letter?

Qingming went out to buy talisman papers and came back, while taking out the talisman papers he bought, he said, "I heard something from other onmyojis today."

"What?" Lizi took the pink talisman paper from him, and she flipped it aside.

"Yuan Chuyu awakened the pupil of the illusion." Qingming said lightly, "and was promoted to a middle-ranked onmyoji."

"Wow, Hatsuyu-sama is amazing." Lizi said pleasantly, "Yuan Chuyue always said that he usually works very hard, but the results are always mediocre. Now the hard work has finally paid off." Her voice was caught in Qingming's indifferent eyes Gradually lowered, "Is there something wrong?"

"The time is wrong." Seimei said.

"time?"

"Well. Not long after the blood formation ended, he awakened the Illusionary Pupil. Of course, it can be understood that he awakened this talent after using the one-time Noble Phantasm, the Illusory Pupil. But I think the chances are slim. "

Lizi blinked her eyelashes lightly, wanted to say something but still didn't say it.Is Seimei-sama suspicious of Yuan Chuyu?

Seimei saw what she was thinking at a glance and nodded, "I'm suspicious of him. Because he led everyone to the blood formation. Yamata no Orochi created illusions in the forest, and he happened to be carrying the illusion-breaking pupil that can be used once. After that, they just awakened this talent, and they will make people suspicious when they are together."

Qingming stopped here, and Suzaku came in with a small plate of red bean cakes in one hand and a small basket in the other, "The girl named Yuan Chuyue left so quickly, and I specially brought it to wait for you." Tea and refreshments for guests."

"Chuyue is here?" Lizi stood up in surprise and walked towards the courtyard, but there was no one there.

"I just asked her to come in by herself, and turned around to get something for guests. When I came back, I saw her leave in a hurry." Suzaku said.

Lizi immediately understood that Yuan Chuyue came to play with her and happened to hear Qingming's words.So I didn't come in, turned around and ran away.

"Overheard." She sat down somewhat dejectedly.

"Well," Seimei looked at her amusedly, "I should be the one who is worried about this, right? After all, I was guessing that there was something wrong with Yuan Chuyu."

"Is there a problem with the eavesdropper?" Shuten Doji, who was sitting by the screen, frowned and said, "I just discussed things in my own home, and I didn't speculate outside."

"Oh." Li Zi sighed, although she also felt that it was a bit of a coincidence, but Yuan Chuyue is her good friend, and she was somewhat disturbed to hear such discussions.

Yuan Chuyue never came to look for her again.Even if they met on the street occasionally, the other party would turn around and run away with his head down.

Riko originally wanted to find time to explain, but as the end of the year came, there were more and more things at the shrine.The year is coming to an end, and there are a lot of people who have fulfilled their vows.

And next month is the New Year. In order to grab the incense and popularity on that day, the shrine is now preparing for the New Year's activities.Everyone can't wait to break it into three pieces.As a non-staff member, Shuten-douji, who is very strong and handsome, is very popular at the shrine.

Not only the God Lord likes to stuff things for him, but other witches also like to stuff things for him.One day when Riko came home from work, she saw Shuten-douji coming out with several small bamboo tubes.

"Snacks and plum wine." Shuten-douji said.

Knowing that he likes good wine, everyone will give him the good wine brewed at home.

"Shuten is becoming more and more popular with everyone." Riko said with a smile.

"It's not unusual for me to like that kind of thing." Shuten-douji turned his head, his eyes suddenly stopped.Lizi followed his gaze, and saw a tall and handsome young man standing across the street, looking at them with resentment in his eyes.

The boy's hair was unkempt, with only a small knot on the top of his head.Folding his arms, he pursed his lips resolutely.

"Why are you here?" Jiu Tun-douji frowned slightly, "Didn't I ask Fu Sangshen to deliver the letter back? You can ask Hoshikuma-douji to read it to you if you don't know how to read."

The boy came over, glanced at Li Zi, and immediately returned his eyes to Shuten Doji, complaining in his voice, "He read it to me. It is because of this that I am even more angry."

"Wait," Shuten-douji said, "Hoshiguma likes to play tricks the most, what did he read to you?"

"He said," the young man pursed his lips, "You are getting married. You won't be back for decades, so let's not worry about it."

"With whom?" Jiu Tun-douji turned pale with shock.

"I don't know, he said you didn't write it. But I think..." The boy looked at Li Zi with very unfriendly eyes, "Is that her?"

Shuten-douji was choked immediately, turned his back and coughed.

The boy continued to complain in a resentful tone, "You have changed, Jiu Tun, even though we have only been separated for dozens of days, I can still feel the change in you."

Jiu Tun calmed down and looked at him again, "What changed?"

"You have fallen, although I have told you before that you should quit drinking. That kind of undrinkable spicy thing is the easiest to destroy your will. But you have not quit. Not only that, but now the thing that destroys your will is also Added one."

"what?"

"Woman." The boy looked at Lizi resentfully.

Pear gave him a friendly smile.

For the first time seeing a human smile at him.This strange perception made him startled slightly.But in an instant he tightened his face again.

"Stop talking nonsense Ibaraki, Hoshiguma is lying to you. I'm not married. I just made shikigami for humans." Shuten-douji said.

"Style what?" Ibaraki Doji felt that he must be hallucinating, only to hear the nonsense of the Dajiangshan ghost king.Even Fu Sangshen didn't want to do something, the kind of thing that was driven by human onmyoji as a utensil, Jiu Tun said he did it?

"Shikigami," Shutendouji repeated calmly, "I am Shimizu Rikako-sama's shikigami. The kind of shikigami who signed the contract."

"I might be dreaming." Ibaraki Doji stepped back slightly, his eyes wide open.But in a second, black demonic aura emerged from his whole body, and his left hand turned into a black ghost claw and attacked Lizi. Shuten Doji lowered his eyes slightly, and grabbed his wrist tightly.

"You must have been confused by this woman and lost yourself, let me kill her and you will wake up." Ibaraki Doji said.

"I am her shikigami, unless she dies of old age naturally. Otherwise, the shikigami will dissipate with her death." Shuten Doji said lightly.

It was the first time Riko heard such a thing, she turned to Shutendouji with some surprise.

Ibaraki Doji was also surprised, he had never been a shikigami, so naturally he had no experience.The young man's eyes kept shaking, looking at Lizi, struggling in the contradiction that if he didn't kill her, Shuten would not wake up, and if he killed her, Jiuten would die together.Finally he gave up the plan and pulled the ghost claw out of Shuten's hand.

"Then what should we do? Are you not going back to Dajiangshan?"

"Well, that's it for the time being. I won't be going back for decades." Shuten-douji said.

"Then what should I do? I'll go crazy if I don't see you for decades." The boy with the scratch on his head took a fragile step back.

"Don't always say that kind of misleading words." Shuten Doji felt helpless, "This is just right, you can learn to grow up by yourself. I can't always be by your side to take care of you."

"But I just want to follow you." Ibaraki Doji said.

"It's really annoying," Shuten-douji finally lost his patience, and his eyes became unfriendly, "In short, it's what you see. I've become a shikigami now, and I can't go anywhere. If you follow me Fart. If you talk on the back of your ass, I will turn my face and beat you into Ibaraki meatloaf."

Ibaraki Doji took another step back with a pale face.

"Let's go." Shutendouji said to Riko.

Lizi took another look at the young man who was trembling slightly in the cold wind, and watched him tremble, and the little knots on his head trembled together.

It turned out that he was Ibaraki Doji.

"It's disgusting." Ibaraki Doji muttered in a low voice, looking at their receding figures.

He stood there thinking for a while, then took out a small notebook from his pocket.It says people Ibaraki Doji must defend with his life.

He can't write, this is what Xingxiong Boy wrote to him.Turn over the first page and there is a small gourd drawn with a pen on it, which represents the meaning of Shuten-douji.There is a bear face drawn next to it, which was added secretly by Xingxiong Boy himself, and he has already crossed it.

He borrowed a pen from the pen and ink peddler next to him, and reluctantly drew a pear under the small gourd.

For the sake of Jiu Tun, this woman can only be listed as a key protection object.

……

"Lord Seimei, today I saw Shuten's subordinates." Riko sat on the tatami, lying on the low table to watch Seimei draw.Jiu Tun was called by Teng She to the yard to help wrap the trees with hemp rope for the winter.So she is more at ease talking about these.

"Which subordinate?" Seimei asked while drawing cherry blossom petals.

"Ibaraki Doji."

"That," Seimei smiled, "I saw him once when I was young. At that time, he was still a little monster, always hanging behind Shuten-douji. Speaking of which, Shuten-douji is also very powerful."

"As a foreign monster, after arriving in Danba country, he single-handedly killed the former ghost king of Dajiangshan. He also subdued all the monsters who refused to accept it with his own power, and became the famous ghost king in Fusang. But thinking about it this way, it seems that Xiaoli is even more powerful. Because Shuten-douji has become your shikigami."

"I'm just lucky." Lizi said.

Compare Europe.

"By the way, Seimei-sama." She told Seimei about the conversation between Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, "So, is that so? If I die, Shuten will also dissipate?"

Seimei paused the pen in his hand, "No. After the shikigami signs the contract, the contract will only restrict him from attacking the master. But there is no saying that the shikigami dies when the master dies. Only the master dies, and the shikigami is free. "

"Then why does Shuten-douji say that?"

"Probably to protect you." Qingming smiled slightly, put down the pen, and hugged the stove.Even in his thick fur, he was cold.Every time I draw, I put my hands on the hand stove to warm up for a while.

"Is it still okay?" Lizi looked at him with some concern.Ever since she lost a lot of blood in that battle, Qingming has been very afraid of the cold. "Is it because you were carrying me behind your back?"

"It has nothing to do with that, maybe it happened to be a cold day."

"Then why am I not cold?" Lizi asked.Not only that, but she's a little hot.There was a small charcoal stove burning in the room, for which she had changed into jackets.

"Oh, really? I'll try."

"try what?"

Qingming put the stove on the ground, "Come here, I'll hug you and see if you're warmer."

"How can I be warmer than a hand stove?"

"Maybe you are a human-shaped stove," the boy smiled and stretched out his hand, "Let me try. If you are warm enough, even if there is Hashihime guarding the door at night, I will do anything to stun him into your room. You don't know how to sleep at night How cold."

"Is it really cold?" Lizi was worried immediately.

"It's cold." Qingming withdrew her hand, leaned on the cushion and looked at her casually, "You are right, probably it was because of you. It is because of you and me that it is so cold. Thinking about it this way, the perpetrator should pay the price. Tonight Get your shikigami done, and then leave me a door."

pear:"……"

……

"Let me do it, Shuten."

Loud voices came from the entrance of Yebisu Shrine.Because it is necessary to build a platform for burning incense for the New Year in advance.The entire shrine was mobilized.

Whenever Riko was going to move wood, Shuten-douji would always move it first.At this time, Ibaraki Doji will rush over at a faster speed.

"Let me do it, it's really outrageous. How can you let the ghost king of Dajiangshan do handyman's work?" Ibaraki Doji said angrily.

"I'm a shikigami, not the ghost king of Dajiangshan." Shuten-douji said lightly, picking up the hammer.Ibaraki Doji hurriedly supported the nail for him.Shuten-douji tapped the nail twice and it went in.

"It's really amazing, Shuten." Ibaraki Doji praised sincerely, "Even if you're nailing nails, you're so quick and easy."

"To shut up."

Riko felt a little funny, because it was noon, and she brought the lunch distributed by the shrine, plum rice balls.Passed a few to Shuten-douji, picked up another one and handed it to Ibaraki-douji.

Ibaraki Doji subconsciously wanted to take it, but suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned his face away, "If I don't eat it, it won't taste good."

"Hey, isn't it delicious? This is plum rice ball." Li Zi said, "It's sour and sweet, it's delicious."

"I never eat plum rice balls." Ibaraki Doji said coldly.

Shuten-douji took the onigiri from Riko and handed it back to Ibaraki-douji. Ibaraki-douji immediately took a bite, "As expected of Shuten, even the hated plum onigiri will become delicious after passing through his hands."

pear:"……"

"Okay," Shuten-douji sat cross-legged on the ground, "Go back to Dajiangshan after dinner."

Ibaraki Doji was slightly taken aback, the rice ball in his mouth was too late to swallow, his cheeks were bulging, he lowered his eyes and said nothing.The little knot tied on his head also hangs down listlessly.

He tried his best to swallow the rice ball, raised his eyes to glance at Li Zi, and then hung down again as if he was struggling.

After a while, Shuten had finished eating six rice balls, and when he stood up and was about to go to work with Riko, he suddenly said, "Then, if I also become this woman's shikigami, can I be with Jiuten you?" Together?"

Come on, pretend, anyway, there is a lot of time~
