Qingming took out a piece of paper and wrote a paragraph, "Here, write your name."

"What?" Lizi took it and tilted her head and glanced at it.

I saw on the light yellow rice paper that it said "Shimizu Rikako did not keep his promise, and owes Abe Seimei a bobo today. Pay it back within three days, otherwise it will be doubled."

She immediately burst into a smile, "Is this... an IOU?"

Qingming said seriously, "I find that there are always times when empty promises are not kept. It's better to be sure with IOUs. If you are in a hurry, you can sue the government."

Lizi laughed happily, and shook the paper, "Master Qingming, are you willing to take this IOU to the government?"

"Why are you embarrassed? Protect your own rights."

"Hahaha." Lizi laughed louder.

"Stop laughing, sign it. You have to go to the shrine after signing." Seimei urged.

"Don't sign," Lizi pushed back with a bright smile, "I'm not stupid. I've already been fooled by you once, and at that time I felt that the bobo in my life was gone."

"Not to sign?" Qingming looked at her with a half-smile.

"No," Riko stood up with a smile and picked up the satchel on the ground, "If Master Seimei is dissatisfied, please tell my shikigami."

"Very good," Qingming hooked the corners of her lips, "Sure enough, she will have enough confidence after she has Shikigami. If so..."

"What? Hey..." She tilted her body and was pulled by Qingming, wrapping her in her arms.In the next moment, that handsome face was pressed down, and the warm and cool lips touched each other, and she could feel the other party visibly trembling slightly.Immediately afterwards, the mouth was forced to open, and the numbness from the tip of the tongue made Li Zi go limp.

She put her hands on the other's chest, but Seimei's lips and tongue were sucked and entangled even more eagerly.

She struggled hard to turn her face aside, "Let me, let me take a breath." But in less than a second, her face was pulled back gently, and the boy's kiss was hot and eager.As if he had been hungry for several lifetimes, he pressed down again and sucked the kiss fieryly and deftly.

"Okay." She was kissed so much that she wanted to cry, and felt that the tip of her tongue was sucked numb.She raised her head and staggered the kiss, and he took advantage of the opportunity to kiss her earlobe, suck her neck, and collarbone.

"Master Qingming, I'm going to be late." The girl called out with a trembling voice.With Qingming's warm breath on his neck, he said with a light smile, "This is a punishment. It will be worse if you don't keep your promise next time. Remember?"

"Remember." She nodded crying, her eyes covered with mist.

"It seems to be a bit bullying." Qingming pulled her up and rubbed her slightly swollen lips, "But what should I do, I really want to control myself, but Xiaoli is too sweet."

Seeing his bright smile, Lizi felt pissed off.She didn't agree to the so-called keeping the door.Just as she was about to say something, she heard footsteps coming from the courtyard.No matter who it is, they can't let them see themselves like this.

She pushed Qingming away, stood up and quickly sorted the messy clothes, picked up the satchel on the ground and opened the door with a "swish".Shuten-douji outside the door looked at her in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Yes, I'm going to be late." She blushed and rushed out.

Shuten-douji glanced suspiciously at Seimei who was leaning against the wall reading a book, frowned slightly, turned and followed out.

Lizi's heart was still beating violently until she got into the car.Fortunately, Shutendouji sat outside every time, so he couldn't see her current appearance.

Leaning against the carriage, she took a few deep breaths before calming down.

Although the emotions are not so intense, the brain is still blank.

She buried her face in her arms, the kiss on her neck still seemed hot.I just feel that each of them is printed in my heart.

When she arrived at the shrine, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Ibaraki Doji when she went out just now.She turned her head slightly suspiciously and asked Shuten-douji, "Where is Ibaraki-douji?"

"He didn't eat all day, he only ate one rice ball. Just now he told me that he was going to starve to death. I gave him some money and told him to eat." Shuten Doji said.

Pear suddenly wanted to laugh.Because she was afraid that Jiu Tun would buy things with fake money, she gave Jiu Tun some money on a monthly basis.Although not much, it is enough for his occasional pocket money.Now he is using this little money to buy food for Ximu boy, why does he suddenly feel like he is raising a bear child?

"Is he not going back to Dajiangshan?"

"No, he said he must wait until you change your mind. Before you agreed to him, he stayed at the door." Jiu Tun said helplessly.

"Is that okay? Will it not be long before the people from Yinyangliao will find him and take him away?" Lizi is a little worried, after all, after a big monster like Shuten becomes a shikigami, Yinyangliao will send a message License, to prove that the big demon has "reformed from evil and returned to righteousness".

"Then consider him unlucky. Bad luck and poor strength." Shuten-douji laughed.

"Otherwise let him live in the house on Santiao Avenue?"

"That will never drive him away." Shuten-douji said flatly.

Saying so, they walked into the main hall of the shrine.

Seeing Xiao Li, the God Master immediately said, "On duty tonight."

Li Zi was slightly taken aback, "Ah, yes." Before, because she was a newcomer, the God Master never arranged night shifts for her.But after staying for nearly two months, it is a bit unreasonable to say that I am a newcomer.Therefore, she took the initiative to express to the Almighty that she could arrange a night watch.Did not expect so soon.

She looked at Shuten Doji, "Go back by yourself after today is over."

"I'm here too." Shuten-douji said.

"No, it's very safe in the shrine. If something happens, I can summon you in blood." Riko said.

Shuten-douji frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Pear turned and went to get the work.The Almighty gave her the job of fetching candles.Come the New Year, the consumption of candles is very large.So the shrine ordered a large order at a candle shop.

Sitting in the bullock cart of the shrine, she and Shuten-douji rushed to the candle shop and loaded boxes of white wax into the cart.When returning to the shrine, I passed a large maple forest.The coachman suddenly had a stomachache and asked to find a place to make things easier.

While waiting for the coachman, she asked Shuten-douji to guard the ox cart, and went down to wander around by herself.

In late autumn, the maple forest is as red as if it is on fire.Stepping on the fallen leaves mixed with mud, the sound of "creaking" is very comfortable.Just stepping on the fallen leaves step by step, the pear went further and further away.

After picking a lot of red leaves, she sorted them out one by one, planning to press them into bookmarks when she goes back.Just as he was about to go back, he heard intermittent voices coming from the front.

"It bothers me that you doubt me so unfoundedly."

Pear was slightly taken aback.Although this red leaf forest is in the city, it is very remote, and there are few shops and houses around it.People who hide and speak in this kind of place are mostly avoiding people's eyes and ears, and telling secrets that cannot be known to outsiders.If you encounter such a thing, you must stay away from it.In case the other party is discussing some conspiracy, the more you listen, the more dangerous it will be.

She stepped lightly and began to back away slowly.

"You understand that I am groundless." A clear voice sounded, and she immediately put her raised foot back.A gleam of surprise flashed in his pupils.

It's Seimei-sama.

"Did I suddenly become a middle-ranked onmyoji, and the talent of breaking through the Illusory Pupil made you feel pressured?"

Lizi frowned slightly, and the voice seemed to be Yuan Chuyu.

"Do you think I, who is in a high position, will be jealous of the middle position?"

"Not everyone has the talent of Pupil of Illusion. Maybe I will break through to a high position soon. You are just afraid that Xiaoli will no longer admire you."

"Does she worship me?" Qingming laughed again, "I don't feel it at all. I don't have any dignity in front of her."

Lizi pursed her lips lightly, with a smile in her eyes.Seimei-sama actually looks at me like that.

"You are just guessing without evidence, talking nonsense in front of Xiaoli. And I know the secret of your life experience, but I didn't tell anyone."

"My life experience?" There was a faint smile in Qinglie's voice, "Tell me."

"You really want me to tell?"

"Well, let's talk. There are only two of us here, so you can express all your dissatisfaction with me."

"I'm dissatisfied with you? I am indeed dissatisfied with you. You clearly know that Xiaoli has a marriage contract with me. If it weren't for you, she would never think of breaking off my engagement when she first arrived in Heianjing..."

"Remind you, if it weren't for me, she would never have been able to reach Ping'an Jing. She would have been eaten by the mountain spirit long ago. What's more, her divorce was a matter discussed with her grandmother. I will divorce you if there is."

"Even so, without you, maybe she would change her mind. But with you, I'm worthless."

"So you turned to the evil god?"

"Seimei, I'll say it again. I didn't turn to the evil god. It was you, the son of Inari God. Your mother is the evil god. To put it bluntly, you are just the child of a monster and a human. I am very worried that one day you will not be able to suppress your nature and hurt To Xiaoli."

"Did Yamata no Orochi say that?" Seimei asked lightly.

"You admit that you are the son of the white fox?"

"I admit." Seimei's voice lingered with a faint smile again, "Then you also admit that your talent comes from Yamata no Orochi?"

"I don't admit it." Yuan Chuyu's voice was gloomy.

"Whatever, you have to know that there will be countless times to trade with the evil god for the first time. Yamata no Orochi will not let go of any pawn that can be used. It is like the first time you followed his orders to lead everyone to Blood array. Just like this time, I will reveal to others the secret that I am the son of God Inari.”

"I didn't tell anyone, I don't want to ruin your future. I understand better than you that you can't survive in Ping'an capital under the name of the son of the evil god. Onmyoji will take away your position as an onmyoji. Even your father I will also be held accountable by the emperor. Seimei, I don’t want to do such a disgraceful thing.”

"What do you want from me?" Qingming asked lightly, "Keep me away from her?"

"I don't need it," Yuan Chuyu said, "I will fight for it myself."

"I've always wanted to ask you, you rarely get along, why do you insist on being her?"

"Because it's very warm. The days when I lost my mother were very depressing. Xiao Li visited me briefly, gave me wisteria seeds, and stayed with me all afternoon and told me something." Yuan Chuyu's voice suddenly became very low, just As if recalling infinite thoughts, "But she forgot. Forget it, it's too long after all. I just remember."

"Stop the loss in time," Seimei said, "dealing with the evil god will not end well. I don't want to be your enemy one day. I have always missed the journey with you and Xiaoli. That lonely but upright The young man is the Yuan Chuyu I know."

Fenglin fell into silence for a moment.

Lizi's hands and feet were numb, and she felt that she was nailed to the ground. She wanted to move, but she couldn't move.She never expected to hear such a conversation here.

There was the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps ahead.Lizi recovered from the shock, Seimei's figure was reflected in her pupils.She couldn't avoid meeting Seimei's gaze.

The other party paused suddenly, apparently not expecting to meet her here.He was about to say something when he saw her turn and run away.

Lizi ran desperately, until her chest was about to explode before she ran back to the ox cart.The coachman came back long ago.Shuten-douji stood beside the car and looked into the forest.Seeing her running back, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was almost on my way to find you."

Lizi leaned on the bullock cart, bent over and panted heavily.

"What's the matter, did you see the ghost girl Hongye?" Shuten Doji joked.

"You, how do you know, Hongye?" Lizi asked out of breath.

"This kind of monster is very common, especially this forest is Fenglin. Why, did you really see it?"

"No." Lizi climbed into the car on hands and feet.The bullock cart moved slowly, and she suddenly realized that her hands and feet were weak.The strength just now has been used up while running.

……

Even though Shutendouji was unwilling to go back alone, Riko forced him to leave.

"Everyone didn't find anyone to accompany me when I was on duty at night. Don't worry, I will be accompanied by the handymen guarding the gate and the cook in the back kitchen. This is the Yebisu Shrine, and the Lord Yebisu will watch the evil spirits and prevent them from coming in. of."

Shuten-doji left helplessly, and went back alone in the bullock cart.

Lizi has been busy in the temple, sent the last pilgrim away, and she asked the servants to lock the door.I checked the corner of the shrine again to see if there were sticks of incense that were not extinguished, and then I had the time to sit down.

As soon as the surroundings become quiet, people will cranky.

She thought of the first time she met Seimei, Seimei asked her if she would hate monsters and human children.That time Seimei was actually telling her his life experience in a disguised form.Later, when he was in the Mirror Country, Seimei also said that if he had to use some means during the battle, his appearance would change, so she wouldn't hate him for it.

what will becomeIs it a big fox?

Now she doesn't hate monsters as much as before.Ever since Qingming took her to the boat on the head of the sea seat, she had seen so many monsters along the way.

There are evil monsters like Baifenpo and Yunu, and there are good and evil monsters like Tamamomae and Shuten Ibaraki.There are also monsters who are full of kindness to humans, such as fire-fighting women and slippery ghosts, and Fusangshen who became monsters because they were discarded.

All kinds.Like all kinds of monsters.Like all human beings, there are good and bad.The mountain spirit who hurt Sushi Granny had been killed by Seimei.All she wants now is to find out what caused all this.Why did the lock that locked the Shura world appear thousands of years later, why did it appear in her pocket, and brought her here?

She always felt that there was an intermittent line, but couldn't remember how.

The cook brought dinner, which was radish soup, red bean rice and pickles.After she ate a little casually, she took the food box and sent it back to the cook.

When she came back, it was already dusk, she wanted to go to the main hall to clean up the inside first, and then go to the side room to rest.But when passing through the main hall, I heard rustling noises and the sound of people walking.

There was a chill in Lizi's stomach, and her scalp felt a little numb.She inspected the shrine to make sure there were no pilgrims left before asking the servants to lock the gates.Besides this time, the sky is dark, how could there be people staying in the hall?

If it's not a person, it's a ghost.

She took out the charm on her body and slowly approached the side window of the hall.It was cold, and the windows were all papered up.She carefully poked a small hole in the white paper, and moved her eyes to it.The eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the pupils reflected a vast expanse of whiteness, and nothing could be seen.

Why is it white?Shouldn't you see what it looks like inside the hall?

A thought flew by like lightning.She screamed and took several steps back, gasping for breath.It wasn't whiteness at all, it was the color of the whites of the eyes.What she saw through the small hole was an eye.

There was also a scream in the hall.A black human with a fish tail ran out from the main entrance with a terrified expression, and disappeared in a flash.

pear:"……"

It seems like something is wrong.Isn't that Tu Buddha?The monster who likes to sneak into shrines and temples to clean up.Thinking about it this way, it seems that the god master told her.There is a painted Buddha living in the street behind, so there is no need for cleaning.worry.

She walked into the hall and pulled out a paper light bulb from her bosom.The main hall was trampled by many incense sticks during the day, and there were footprints all over the ground.The cushions are also one east and one west.There is even a lot of incense ash floating on the shrine.Without Tu Buddha, she would have to do all these tasks by herself.

For a moment, she really wanted to rush out and invite Master Tu Buddha back.

Two minutes later, the girl in Chihaya's uniform sat on the stone steps outside the hall with a relaxed expression.Behind them are a dozen little paper figurines working in the main hall.

She felt a little cold after staying there for a while, got up and walked back to the side room.He planned to wait for the little paper people to finish their work before coming back to lock the door of the main hall.I felt a little wrong when I stood up.Why do I always have the feeling of being stared at by something?

Li Zi frowned slightly and walked back to the side room, and this feeling disappeared.

After a while, the little paper figurine ran in to look for her after finishing her work.She put the paper people back into her satchel and closed the door of the main hall.That sticky feeling of staring at your face and body is back.

It was completely dark by this time.The shadows of the surrounding trees looked extremely terrifying under the shaking of the night wind.According to the regulations of the shrine, she now needs to carry a lantern and visit the shrine again before going to rest.

Lizi tremblingly found the paper lantern from the utility room.The lantern was still made of white paper, swaying lightly in the wind.Even the lights and shadows became like ghosts together.

After walking two steps, there was a strange rustling sound above his head, and the lantern was blown out instantly by a gust of wind.She screamed and crouched on the ground hugging her shoulders.

Something jumped down next to her with a "boom", Li Zi closed her eyes, her eyelashes were shaking wildly, and she was about to throw the talisman paper out.The back of her hand was covered with something warm and cold, and she was so frightened that her spine shivered even more.He didn't even dare to open his eyes, for fear of seeing something with a long tongue sticking out.

"Don't be afraid, little pear." The anxious voice of the young man came from his ear.

Hearing a familiar voice, she slowly opened her eyes, Seimei's face reflected in her pupils.There was a gleam of brilliance in her pupils suddenly, and she rushed forward and hugged the boy's neck, "I'm scared to death, how could it be you."

Qingming wrapped her arms around her waist and patted her on the back comfortingly with the other, "I heard that you are keeping vigil today, and I am worried that you will be scared alone, so I came here to have a look."

Lizi let go of her arms and looked at him, "Then I feel someone is watching me while I'm sitting on the stone steps of the hall..."

"It's me." Qingming admitted.

"The voice above your head just now?"

"It's me too. I saw you walking towards the back, so I wanted to see you from a different position." Qingming said softly.

"Just show up, why hide and scare me?" She couldn't help complaining.

Qingming hesitated for a moment, and said in a softer voice, "I thought you didn't want to see me right now."

Lizi blinked her eyelashes lightly, "Why don't I want to see you?"

"Because you know who my mother is. You said you hated monsters and human children before. I think you probably hate me." Seimei's voice was low.

When he saw Xiaoli turn around and run away from the maple forest, his heart felt cold.He has been trying to slowly change her view of monsters.I hope she will not be shocked when she learns about his life experience.If it's really hard for her to accept being friends with a monster's child.He won't force it either.It's just going to be sad.Sad, very sad.

"I ran away from the maple forest," Lizi pursed her lips lightly, "I actually didn't know why I ran away at that time. Then I thought about it. Maybe it was because I heard such a thing suddenly, and it was eavesdropping. The moment I saw you, I didn't know how to face you. Actually, I don't mind at all that you are the child of Inari God."

Qingming's eyes slowly brightened, and he stared at her intently.

"I wouldn't hate you even if you were a child of a monster. What's more, you are not a child of a monster. Isn't Inari a god?"

"The so-called gods are just because there are believers. Here, any monster has a chance to become a god." Qingming said, "As long as there are people who believe in it, they are gods. For example, the catfish god you believe in."

"He used to like to roll when he had no believers, and the ground would shake when he rolled. Now that he has believers, although he still moves occasionally, but when he thinks of the trusting eyes of believers, he dare not move at all. But the essence They are still monsters."

"That's okay," Riko said, "Master Seimei is just Mr. Seimei. Even if it's a complete monster, I don't hate it at all."

"Really?" Qingming's eyes softened a lot.

"Yeah," Li Zi nodded, "It's just that Master Hatsune knows this secret, will it be revealed one day?"

Qingming stood up and pulled her up, "You won't stay away from me because I'm the son of a white fox, and I don't care about other people's eyes. Even if you are kicked out of Heianjing, as long as you are willing to follow me, it doesn't matter."

Pear's face turned red again.Thanks to the cover of the night, it was not seen.

Under the moonlight, the young man let go of his usual sloppiness, and there was a light in his eyes that was gentler than the moonlight.

"By the way, Master Qingming, have you had dinner yet?" Lizi suddenly remembered.

"No, I came too hastily. But it doesn't matter if you don't eat a meal." Qingming said gently.

"The cook must have rested already. But I bought persimmons during the day, Lord Seimei, please eat some to satisfy your hunger."

Hearing that it was something sweet, Seimei frowned slightly.But he followed obediently to the side room.

The side room is only lit with a piece of white wax, reflecting an orange light.Lizi took out a small box of dried persimmons and placed them in front of Qingming.Qingming picked up one and put it in his mouth.

"Actually, it's okay, and it's not that sweet. Freshly made, it's wet. Soggy and soft, it's more like the aroma of persimmons." Lizi picked up one and just bit it into his mouth, when Qingming pulled it into his arms , sat on his lap.

The young man turned his face sideways and took a bite of her persimmon. The graceful jaw line connected to the slightly moving Adam's apple and the delicate collarbone, which was so beautiful that it was outrageous.

Qingming ate the persimmons in his mouth slowly, looked at the dull girl with a chuckle and said, "You can feed me this way."
