juvenile onmyoji

Lizi touched Zhuhua lightly, and had a very bad thought in her heart, "Master Qingming, even if time is reshaped, can't one of the things that should be experienced be avoided?"

Qingming was startled slightly, and frowned.

"Like this bead flower, it was originally given to Qingtian Doll. It has been retraced once in time, and it happened again later. Can it be understood that no matter what you do, it can't be avoided?"

"I don't think so." Qingming said, "Maybe the sunny doll is a normal experience, no matter how many times you go back, you have to go through it here. If you can't change the result by going back in time, why is there a reminder on the torii? We have to What has been done is to first find out whether such a thing as seven backtracking really exists, or is it my guess?"

"How do you figure this out?" Lizi sighed and put her hands on her cheeks, "We can't restore the memory."

"Yeah, how do you figure it out?" Qingming supported his chin with one hand, "There must be something missing."

The two stared at each other in a daze for a while, Seimei glanced at the time engraved on Xiangxiang, "Go to rest early. Is your shrine also closed for a few days?"

"Yeah," Lizi nodded, "every year the God Master stays there by himself."

Qingming picked up the book beside her and walked to the room. Lizi saw the title of the book in Chinese characters at a glance, "Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection?" she subconsciously read out.

Qingming smiled, "I learned Chinese characters very well."

pear:"……"

"Is it a collection of poems?"

"No, it contains advanced onmyoji." Qingming said, "but it is very obscure. My mother said that this book should not be known by other onmyoji. Otherwise, it will bring disaster."

"I will definitely not tell it." When she heard that others would covet her, she immediately made a promise.

"I only watch it in front of Xiaoli." Qingming said with a smile.

Does this mean trusting her?

The uneasiness that Zhuhua brought to her just now dissipated, and her mood became better.

"Qingming studies onmyoji until very late every night." Jiu Tun said suddenly, watching Qingming's back disappear outside the door.

"How do you know?" Lizi turned her head and asked.

"Because I have been sitting on the roof all the time, I can see that the lights in his room are always turned off in the middle of the night. And from time to time there will be a faint light of Yin Yang."

"Master Qingming is so hardworking." Lizi thought of the Yin-Yang book that she had thrown away for a long time. "I also want to work hard, but my bell is always missing a monster."

"Why is there a monster missing?" Jiu Tun asked.

"I have a treasure, and I need to devour monsters to accumulate strength. Now I'm short of one." Lizi said half-truthfully.

"So that's the case," Jiu Tun said with a smile, "This kind of thing is very common. My gourd also needs to devour little monsters in order to maintain its strength. My lord said earlier, although the monsters in Heianjing are very good at hiding, but we It’s not impossible to find them.”

"Why are the monsters in Heian-kyo so good at hiding?" asked Ibaraki who was sitting by the fire.

"Because there are many onmyojis in Heian capital."

Understood, Li Zi nodded, just like a thief would avoid the police.

"Then how do you find the monster?" Ibaraki asked again.

"Of course I have my own way." Jiu Tun said.

"As expected of Shuten." Ibaraki's star eyes lit up.

Ten minutes later they were standing outside a spacious courtyard on Shijo Avenue.

At the door is a bonsai, a bonsai decorated with three-sectioned bamboo and pine branches, for celebrating the New Year.This is decorated because it is believed that the beautiful Kadomatsu will attract the gods.

Through the half-open courtyard door, one can see the Shimenawa, Poma Arrow and grass rake hanging at the entrance.These are all auspicious things for expelling evil and recruiting.

"Is there a monster in it?" Lizi asked, "Do monsters hang things to dispel evil spirits?"

"The monster we are going to visit is a clean stream in the monster world." Shuten said.He pushed open the door and walked in.The door knocked against the little bell and made a pleasant sound.

Lizi saw a large group of people in the shadow of the lights in the window.One of them straightened up when he heard the bell.

She frowned, is the monster still dragging the family?

Jiu Tun pushed open the door, and everyone in the room froze at the same time, turning their heads to look in the direction of the door.All were hairless and bareheaded.

Lizi opened her eyes slightly, and recognized the slippery ghost sitting in the middle.She was once begged by him for sweet water and burnt words.

Shuten walked in with Ibaraki swaggeringly and sat down, "Are you eating? It's so rich, it looks like it happens to be what we like to eat."

"And Tusu wine? Isn't this our favorite thing in Jiuten?" Ibaraki grabbed it and put it in front of Jiuten.Pushing away another little cunning ghost, he said fiercely, "Go over there, we adults haven't even sat down yet."

The whole room was silent, Xiao Huatou flattened his mouth and was about to cry when his mother covered his mouth.Everyone recognized the Oeyama Oni King Shuten-douji and his subordinate Ibaraki-douji who are well-known in the world of monsters.

There was an ugly smile on the slippery ghost's face, never thought that one day someone would come to their slippery ghost's house to eat and drink.The reason why slippery ghosts can eat and drink is because they are born with an aura that everyone loves.They can easily impress others and mistake them for old friends they haven't seen in a long time.

The hateful is here.These two robbers did not have the ability to be a cunning ghost, but he had to entertain them.

"I've been waiting for the three adults to come. You see, we haven't touched the food, and it's all clean." The slippery ghost said with a smile, "Today is the New Year. Seeing the three adults is really a joy from the bottom of my heart."

When the other slick ghosts heard this, they immediately understood what they should do.Standing up to give up his seat, toasting with a cup, he smiled and praised, "It's really a joy." "It's a very good sign to be able to spend the New Year with the adults."

Pears have also been relegated to the most prominent position.The little slippery ghost, who was about to cry in fright just now, is now telling her to eat more with his big round eyes open.

It's really... a family with a very good psychological quality.Being able to adjust his position so quickly is worthy of being called a PR in the monster world.

"It's really rude not to go outside to greet everyone." The slippery ghost poured wine for Lizi, and was a little surprised to see that she was alone without chopsticks. "Is the food not to your taste, my lord?"

"I'm not hungry," Lizi understood Shuten's meaning and said with a smile, "I really want to take my two shikigami away, because I have very important things for them to do now. But..."

"What's the matter, can I help?" Slick Ghost immediately heard a hint of the possibility of letting the Dajiangshan monster go away.

"I need to kill a monster today and use his power to do something."

The girl had a kind smile on her face, but what she said made all the tricksters tremble.

monster?Aren't they just ready-made monsters?

"Sir Shuten and Ibaraki-sama are your shikigami?" Tricky Ghost's eyes widened in surprise when he heard the amazing information from it.

"That's right." Pear nodded.

The slippery ghost immediately began to recall whether he had offended the lord before.Whether it's sweet water or monjayaki, I feel that everyone is very happy.Well, the last two times the other party also asked him for news about monsters.It seemed that this lord would kill a monster every once in a while.

After pointing out the monsters, he might as well move.Although he has a good relationship with monsters in the monster world.Always revealing the address of other youkai like this, it will bring revenge after a long time.Everyone didn't dare to trouble Shuten Ibaraki, and they didn't dare to trouble him?

"There is a house on Six Avenues, and there lives a monster called Heizuka Ghost Girl, also called Andahara Ghost Woman. She used to live in the wilderness of Andahara, but now she bought a property in Heianjing when she was old. The adults should catch her She, she is bad. She always eats the internal organs of passers-by."

"Why does she want to eat human offal?"

"This monster is also quite miserable. When she was a human being, she served the minister. The young lady who was brought up by herself suffered from a strange disease. Although the liver of a human is used as medicine, it must be the liver of a pregnant woman. Originally, the young lady's parents Give up. Heizuka Ghost Girl is reluctant to let Miss die."

"She went to the wilderness of Andayuan and built a hut, pretending to be kind and sheltering passers-by. One day, she was able to wait for a pregnant woman and her husband. She overthrew the young couple with anesthesia. Killed Pregnant women had their livers taken out."

"When I left there, I saw the birthmark on the pregnant woman's body and recognized it as her long-lost daughter. So, the black mound ghost girl went crazy and completely became a bloodthirsty monster. She always mistakenly thought that the lady was still waiting for her liver, and kept killing humans.”

"Isn't it only for pregnant women?" Ibaraki interrupted.

"When you go crazy, you want everything," said the slippery ghost.

"I see." Lizi nodded, "Thank you for the news, we're leaving now, and we won't disturb your New Year's celebration."

The slippery ghost concealed his inner excitement, with a look of reluctance on his face, "It's such a pity to leave so soon. I get along very well with the three adults, and I am very reluctant."

Jiu Tun sneered, "It's not easy, Shimizu-sama can deal with monsters alone. Ibaraki and I will stay and drink with you."

The slippery ghost's stomach was full of bitterness, but his face was filled with a pleasant smile, "That's really great."

Li Zi curled her lips, "Okay, don't bother me anymore. Today is the New Year."

The slippery ghost just wants to burst into tears at this moment, you also know that it is the New Year.

After leaving the slippery ghost's house, the three of them walked towards Sixth Avenue.

"Speaking of which, why does the slippery ghost always know the news about the monsters?" Lizi asked.

"Because slippery ghosts eat by observing words and expressions. They only need a few words to find out the details of each other. In the future, they will be able to sell to those who need it. Therefore, if there is anything you want to know in the monster world, you will find slippery ghosts." Jiu Tun explain.

Isn't this just asking about it?

"That's right, this is for you." Riko took out two things from the satchel and handed them to Shuten and Ibaraki respectively.

Ibaraki took it carelessly.Shuten watched in the night where Riko's hand was pinching, and carefully avoided touching it before taking it away.

"What is this?" Shuten frowned slightly and looked at the red envelope in his hand, there seemed to be something thinner and harder inside.

"Red envelopes." The girl said with a smile, blinking her beautiful eyes, "It's a way to celebrate the New Year in my hometown."

Shuten opened the envelope and poured out the contents, and a shiny golden object landed in his palm.

"Gold leaf?"

"That's right, it's gold leaf. You can use it to buy things you like." Lizi said with a smile.

"Cut, what do I want this kind of thing for?" Jiu Tun took advantage of the situation and wanted to return the red envelope, "I promised not to waste your money."

Riko avoided, "You're welcome. This is pocket money. Your mother entrusted you to me as a shikigami, so I have to take care of you."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Okay Shuten," said Ibaraki, "do you want to disobey my lord's order?" In fact, he wanted it.Looking at the golden leaves, I thought of countless oranges flying into my arms.

The three of them talked and walked along the road to Sixth Avenue.This is the south of the city, because there are many swamps, most of the people have moved to other areas.There are very few people living here.Houses are far apart.

Behind a large frozen swamp, they found the house of the ghost girl of the black mound.It is a small house with a garden.Through the window, you can see an old woman sitting inside, braiding her hair in front of the bronze mirror.

"Just follow what I said just now, you two don't beat her to death all at once. Leave me alone." The three of them were lying on the dirt wall, Lizi said in a low voice.

Even though it was the breath diluted by the cold air, Jiu Tun's ear still made him shiver slightly, "Don't get so close to me." He said impatiently, feeling his ears burning for no reason.

"I'm afraid you won't hear me if I say it too small, but the monster will hear it if I say it too big." Lizi was baffled by his accusation.

Jiu Tun lowered his eyes, "In short, let me know in advance next time."

"It's weird." Li Zi turned her head and ignored him.

Shuten is always so awkward, he has set many rules for himself since the day of Shikigami.He resolutely does not sit in the carriage with her, does not eat at the same table, and even walks a body slower than her.

Unlike Suzaku Teng Snake who calls her Xiaoli, she always calls Shimizu-sama very organically.No matter what you give him, it's like pulling a cordon in front of her all the time.

Ibaraki is the exact opposite of him, he likes to act like a baby and wants to eat something delicious.It's easy to be with Ibaraki, just like having a younger brother.

"Juten, you have a lot of things." As Jiuten's only licking dog, Ibaraki couldn't help it anymore, "Why don't I feel close? I don't think it's close enough to hear clearly."

"Let's fight monsters." Jiu Tun rolled into the yard with one hand.

The jumping movement alarmed the ghost girl Heizuka in the house.She jumped out of the door and stared grimly at the ghost in the front, her fingers shone with metallic luster in the night.

This youkai probably used these sharp hands to peel open the human belly.Riko poked out half of her face from behind Shuten and looked at Kurozuka Ghost Girl.

"On the first day of the new year, some people don't want their own heart, liver and lungs. I don't accept it and it's not appropriate for me to send it in such a hurry." Heizuka Ghost Girl.Said grimly.

Jiu Tun pointing lazily, Heizuka Ghost Girl was immediately surrounded by a three-foot-tall fire circle, "You're welcome, enjoy it slowly."

The ghost girl Heizuka turned into a cloud of black smoke and came out from another place.

"Hey, that's amazing." Ibaraki said with a smile, his left hand swelled into a huge ghost hand, and he grabbed the ghost girl of Heizuka.He was also escaped by the opponent with smoke.

"It looks like she can turn the entity into smoke at any time." Lizi said with a frown.

"It's a bit difficult." Jiu Tun watched Ibaraki and Kurozuka ghost woman grab one by one and turn into a gas, feeling that Ibaraki was about to be pissed off.

"Is this the attack method of the Heizuka ghost girl? If you are angry, one counts as one?" Li Zi pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand and took out two paper leopards from her satchel and released them.

Similarly, whenever the paper leopard attacks the Heizuka ghost girl, her body part will turn into smoke to avoid the attack.But her fingers were still sharp and scratched Ibaraki's arm.

The smell of blood is particularly obvious in the cold night.

While licking her mouth, the Heizuka ghost girl said with a smile, "Submit your internal organs obediently, I haven't eaten dinner yet. Let me taste the taste of Dajiangshan monster. You are a big monster, I will eat it if I eat it." Won't it become a big monster?"

Lizi suddenly realizes that what Tricky Ghost pointed out to them is not an ordinary monster, but a big monster that ate tens of thousands of internal organs in Andahara.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand, there is a name, Kurozuka Ghost Girl; there is a title, Adachihara Ghost Woman; and a complete story.This is the standard configuration of the big demon.Only little monsters like Shan Jing Yu Nu Qiao Ji can't tell where they came from.

Shuten took the wine gourd from his waist and unplugged it.With a slight twist, a ball of flame poured out.He grabbed it casually, and the flames turned into broken blades.Holding the burning broken blade, he jumped into the battle circle, and together with Ibaraki, he surrounded and suppressed the ghost girl of Heizuka.

With great difficulty, he chopped onto the left arm of the monster who had no time to dodge.But that arm immediately turned into a puff of smoke under the flames and scattered.Then recondense into a new arm.

Not as good as Lizi's Thunderbolt Talisman can occasionally stop monsters a few times.

Riko pondered while assisting Shikigami with spells.In terms of attack methods, Kurozuka Oni is only sharper with her hands.This kind of rank is simply not enough for a finger of Dajiangshan Ghost King.But her escape level is estimated to be the strongest in the monster world.No wonder after eating tens of thousands of internal organs, he was able to retire to Ping An Jing for the elderly.Don't be afraid of the Yin-Yang Liao here.

What is her weakness?

"Lord Shimizu, be careful." Jiu Tun's voice came from next to his ear.

She immediately set up a barrier.The fierce attack was blocked outside.Heizuka Ghost Girl scratched her claws down again with an expression of certainty on her face and broke her barrier.Just as Shuten Ibaraki rushed over, Kurozuka Ghost Girl drew up a barrier to cover herself and Riko in it.

The enchantment with black ripples blocked all sounds from the outside world.Lizi raised her face from the shattered barrier in horror, and the face of the black mound ghost girl was less than an inch away from her, and she could even see the light shining from the other's sharp fingers.

"Mom." She threw herself forward and put her arms around Heizuka Ghost Girl's neck.The latter froze immediately, "Xiao... Sayuri?"

Sayuri?

"Well, I am Sayuri." Lizi said immediately.

It was because of the mistaken killing of her own daughter that the Kurozuka ghost girl turned into a crazy monster.It's hard to understand when people are crazy, let alone monsters?Heiye has blurred vision, and Lizi is about the same age as her daughter.Coupled with the fact that too much time had passed, the Heizuka ghost woman's head was in a trance, thinking that her daughter had really come.

"What are you doing here? Mom has become a monster." Heizuka Ghost Girl let go of her, turned sideways and said with averted eyes.

You still know you are a monster.

"I'm here to find my internal organs. Mom, you dug out my internal organs, and return them to me quickly." Li Zi stretched out her hands towards her, holding a wind-defying talisman in her palm.

"Inner organs?" Heizuka Ghost Girl was in a trance again.

"Have you forgotten? In the wilderness of Andayuan, you tricked me and your son-in-law into the house, and anesthetized us. You took out my internal organs with your own hands, and prepared to send them to your young lady for treatment." Lizi was gloomy. Say, "Mom, I'm in so much pain."

"You, you're already dead?" Heizuka Ghost Girl was horrified.

"Yeah, I'm dead. You buried me. But I don't have entrails, so I can't sleep well."

"I remember now." Heizuka Ghost Girl's hands trembled, "There was a severe drought in Fusang that year, and many people died because there was no food to produce. I took you to Heianjing to find a way out. But you accidentally got separated on the way."

"I can't find you, so I can only go to Ping'an capital by myself. Lord Gongqing kindly took me in and let me take care of his daughter. I saw that Miss is about your age, so I transferred all my love for you to her."

"But I didn't expect that the lady who was brought up with great difficulty got a strange disease and wanted to eat the heart of a pregnant woman. I didn't want her to leave me like you. I decided to find a heart for her. I left the mansion and went to Andahara alone. There are so many people passing by but no pregnant woman. I was very anxious until I met you."

The Heizuka ghost girl burst into tears and knelt on the ground remorsefully, "I'm sorry for you, I didn't expect that the one I dug out with my own hands turned out to be my own daughter."

Lizi looked at her indifferently, "I grew up hard and suffered a lot. I finally met a husband who is willing to take care of me for the rest of my life. We could have lived happily without you."

"The baby in my womb is about to be born. Have you seen it? You must have seen it when you took my heart and liver. But you still dug out my internal organs in front of him. The baby looks like How about it, isn't it beautiful? You ended his life yourself, Adachihara Hag."

The ghost girl of Heizuka was weak all over, crying tears all over her face, "It's my fault, I'm sorry for you. I didn't expect it to be you."

"Even if it's not me, do other people deserve to have their internal organs removed by you?"

"It's Miss, Miss, she is about to die. I just took your internal organs and gave her..."

"Where's my internal organs?" Lizi asked quietly.

"Guts, viscera?" Heizuka Ghost girl looked around with her eyes and fumbled with her hands.Finally, she touched herself, and her face burst into joy, "Ah, I found it. The internal organs are here."

She tore her clothes, cut open her chest and kept digging out, "Look, Xiao Baihe, your internal organs are preserved by your mother. Take it, take it." She kept digging, It was sticky and dripped all over the floor.

Lizi approached her, and the Wind Talisman in her palm fell gently, creating a gust of breeze.As Seimei taught, she moved her fingers slightly, twisted a thin and sharp wind blade from the breeze, and pressed it against Heizuka Ghost Girl's neck.

As soon as Kurozuka Ghost Girl's body froze, she would subconsciously turn into green smoke.But Riko wrapped her arms around her shoulders tenderly, just like Sayuri hugged her.Her eyes softened and her body did not change.

The gleaming wind blade slid across Heizuka Ghost Girl's neck, and her satisfied head fell to the ground.

The black enchantment fell into the night like shattered glass.

Like Ibaraki, Shuten looked at the utterly dead youkai in shock, and the emotionless Rika sitting on the ground in blood.

Benping bell around the girl's waist made a pleasant sound.The ghost girl Heizuka flew in as a bright ray of light.

Lizi knew that the third tadpole was full.

……

"Hurry up and go back, why are you walking so slowly?" Ibaraki frowned while staring at Riko who ran away without a trace.

"Why are you in a hurry? Isn't everyone at home? Master Shimizu probably wants to wash off the blood stains quickly. Do you have blood stains to wash off?"

"I didn't want to wash the blood, I remembered that my oranges were placed in the corridor." Ibaraki said worriedly.It was a small basket of oranges given by the god for his help.In winter, oranges are a luxury.

Jiu Tun snorted lightly, "Isn't that just right, you can eat orange peels when it's frozen into orange ice, so you don't have to lie to others to peel the oranges for you."

"Speaking of peeling an orange, it's really not easy for you to peel it for me," Ibaraki said with a smile, "I have changed many people, but you are not moved. Only when you become a small pear, you peel it obediently."

Jiu Tun frowned slightly, "Since when did you become so intimate, as a shikigami, it's not appropriate to call her by her name?"

"Suzaku and Teng Snake both called that, so I followed suit." Ibaraki continued to frown, "You were not so particular before, you have a very chic personality, but now your behavior is very strange. Just now, you were just holding the red envelopes." The edge, the way you are careful not to touch her hand. Why do you always put on an appearance of drawing a clear line?"

Jiu Tun's eyes flickered unnaturally, and then he put on an impatient expression and said, "Is this strange? I'm her shikigami, just protect her. What do you want to do near her?"

"Having said that, you are too deliberate." Ibaraki said.

"Stop rambling, I don't want to hear such words from you again." Jiu Tun pursed his lips, "You are also not allowed to talk nonsense in front of her."

"I still want to talk nonsense."

Alcoholic Diary

I received a red envelope from Shimizu-sama today.The woman was very strange. She gave a red paper with a gold leaf and said it was a red envelope.Seriously, I'm on the verge of quitting alcohol to save her money.

Still, very happy.Put this red envelope together with the dress embroidered with small gourds.The only gifts I have received since I was a child are all from her.

"I have to take care of you for your mother." What kind of strange thing is this?Do I need her to take care of me?

Ibaraki said I was weird.I admit that when I was in Dajiangshan, I was always unrestrained.But it was different here, and so was she.The person who promised not to put me away, who gave me respect other than shikigami, I want to treat him well.

Me, I don't even know what I'm talking about.

So be it, be a good shikigami and serve her till the end of your life.
