Lizi ran to the courtyard, facing the wind all the way and feeling her body was completely frozen.The cheeks are numb and painful, and the cold winter wind is like a knife.

Her clothes were already stained with the blood of monsters, and when the wind blew, they were as hard as ice.She remembered the pile of monster's internal organs that she encountered just now when she approached her body to kill the monster.She immediately wanted to jump into the pond and take a bath.

It's so disgusting, I really like to eat fat intestines.

Eh?She didn't have a chance to eat it either.

As soon as she stepped through the courtyard door, she stopped abruptly.The sliding door of the outer room was open, and Qingming was leaning against the entrance, reading a book with a brazier on.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his eyes and scanned her body without any surprise.

Lizi also glanced at herself subconsciously.The originally clean white skirt embroidered with cherry blossoms seemed to have rolled in a pool of blood.The petals of the cherry blossoms are gone, only dust and blood can be seen.

Footsteps came from behind her, she was pushed, and Jiu Tun's voice came from behind her head, "I'm afraid he will do something, go in. Don't you want to take a bath?"

Qingming put down the book, and cast a casual glance at Jiu Tun, "The bathtub is at the back of the yard. Suzaku is warming the water there, go quickly."

"I'm not afraid." Lizi turned her head to defend.

I just don't know why I feel a little guilty. "Master Qingming." She trotted over with a flattering smile, and stopped a few steps away, fearing that the blood would stain her.Seimei has always been a very clean person.

"How did you know I was coming back to take a shower?"

With a faint smile in Qingming's eyes, he stretched out his hand and pulled her into the room, not caring about the blood on her body at all. "I knew you would be covered in dust when you came back. But I didn't expect it to look like this. Did you catch the monster?" He glanced at Ben Pingling lightly.

"It was Andahara hag who was caught." Lizi walked towards the back door, "Ask from the slippery ghost. I wonder if he deliberately pointed at the big monster because he disturbed him during the New Year. That big monster is so powerful, any attack can reach her When she was in her body, she would turn into green smoke. Later, I pretended to be her dead little daughter to trick her into letting her guard down."

Qingming had an unsightly smile on his face, "So, your wooden sign is full of another tadpole?"

"Yes," Lizi stretched out her hand to open the back door, "take some time to see what it is. Not today, it's too late."

She closed the door and went straight to the bathroom in the backyard.Suzaku was there, reaching in with fiery red hands from time to time to keep the water warm.Seeing her go in, he quickly let out the bathroom, closed the door and went out.

After taking a bath, Lizi changed into white pajamas, grabbed the fur coat on the hanger and put it on her body.Open the door and walk towards the room.

On the roof, Jiu Tun sat there, glanced at her lightly and then looked back.Carefully guard the small courtyard.

Li Zi went back to the room and took out the tasteless incense and lit it, setting up a barrier.Then put his hands together on Ben Pingling and took out the wooden sign.

I was planning to watch it in the morning.But the curiosity is too heavy, and I can't wait for a moment.

The wooden sign shimmered under the orange light of the enchantment, and the three tadpoles were completely intact with ripples like water.Not only that, but the fourth tadpole also shone with a faint light.

Lizi thinks that probably because the hag Andahara is a big demon, the excess power goes to the fourth square.After confirming the condition of the wooden sign, she put it away again.Extinguish the tasteless incense and remove the barrier.

The moment she touched the paper-cut in the bag, she knew what the third tadpole's upgrade ability was.This feeling is very strange.

The wooden sign seems to be born to serve her ability.This made her more curious about why the wooden sign would find her across thousands of years.As the god lock that locks the gate of Shura Realm, who opened it and took it down?

A little paper fox was taken out, and she blew it in one breath.The palm-sized paper fox hopped happily between her fingers.

Lizi closed her eyes and put her hand on top of the paper fox's head.The paper fox immediately squatted quietly on the ground, narrowing its eyes.The Benping bell on the tatami suddenly made a pleasant sound.

A gust of gentle wind blows by, and the touch of the paper fox under the palm of the hand becomes very soft instantly.The volume has also expanded several times.

She opened her eyes, and a normal-sized white fox looked at her with bent eyes.The big fluffy tail swayed gently.The tip of the nose is pink, and the pupils of the eyes are black.

Paper cuts turned into real animals?Doesn't she become the creator?

The thought made her eyes widen, she was too powerful.

The white fox lay intimately beside her, still being stroked by her.A few minutes later, it suddenly sensed something.He got up and turned around, jumped out from the half-opened lattice window.

Lizi didn't know what happened, so she quickly stood up and chased him out.

I saw the white fox ran a few times in the yard, and suddenly began to shatter from the top of its head.Immediately afterwards, it spread to the whole body like a spider web.Before the pear could reach it, the broken pieces disappeared into the night wind like pure white porcelain.

"Master Shimizu, what is that?" Jiu Tun's voice came from the roof, "How could a fox come out and be broken into pieces?"

Lizi didn't answer, she just stood there thinking with her pretty eyebrows slightly frowned.It looks like the third tadpole's upgraded ability is to bring paper-cut animals to life.But the maintenance time is very short, less than 5 minutes.

But even so it's pretty awesome.After all, the original three-dimensional paper-cut animals disappeared instantly when they encountered fire.And real animals are not so irresistible.

What if she cut a charizard?A bunch of baby dragons surround her, she is the mother of dragons.If she cuts out a Yamata no Orochi, will it be a fake?

Thinking of this, she completely let go of her worries and happily went back to her room to sleep.

The next day she told Qingming about it.

Qingming propped his chin and thought for a while, "I don't know if you will become a real person if you cut a person?"

"Try it." Lizi immediately went to pick up the little paper man who was clearing the dishes with great interest.

Although the little paper figurine was bragging, she never did it.Trumpeting will make the little paper man fart at most.Stock, more pairs of chest.The things that can be done in the past may not necessarily be upgraded to a higher level by advocating.Compared with the bare figure before, after bragging, it is completely streaking.

She put the little paper figurine on the ground, gently stroked its head, and closed its eyes.

Ben Pingling made a crisp sound, and her hand was suddenly bounced away.Something grows taller.There was the sound of people breathing.

She opened her eyes, startled by what she saw.

"Uh……"

Standing in front of him was a strong man about 1.9 meters tall. He had everything he should have, but he had no facial features.A flat face.Curiously turning his head left and right to look around.Its other little paper doll companions all got under the table in fright.

"What is it doing?" Ibaraki asked.

"Look at things. It's strange to grow so tall suddenly." Lizi guessed, after all, the little paper man can see without eyes.As an upgraded version of the little paper man, it should also have all the functions.

"He has a good figure, and he has pectoral muscles." Shuten, who was standing by the door, crossed his arms and commented.

"Why does it have such a good figure?" Ibaraki said with a smile, "Look at how handsome its little brother is. We monsters are really envious."

Why are these words getting more and more dirty...

"It's alright," Qingming reached out and pulled her head, fixing her gaze, "Let it disappear."

"This...it won't just disappear if I let it disappear." Lizi said dryly, "It will disappear by itself after a while."

"Draw a paper doll and change the clothes next time." Qingming suggested sincerely.

"It should, it should." Li Zi still replied dryly.

After waiting for a while, the upgraded paper man also shattered into pieces like a white fox and dissipated into the air.

"Let's do it again, this time I will draw clothes." She reached out to reach the little paper figurine under the table.But everyone twisted their bodies and quickly ran to every corner of the room.He covered his face with his hands, for fear of being seen by her.A look of deception.

"Hahaha," Ibaraki fell to the ground laughing, clutching his stomach, "I met that brother just now. I don't think those with long heads can be willing to be changed by you."

"This... I can draw clothes, and I can also draw facial features." Li Zi assured the little paper people, "It's definitely not the same as the previous one. I can also draw collarbones, abdominal muscles, and butterfly bones."

"Isn't it all that you said that you need to run naked to show it?" Ibaraki said.

"I can draw suspenders, thank you." Lizi glanced back at him.

"What's a suspender?"

After repeated persuasion and promises by her, a little paper doll finally came out timidly.She put the little paper figurine on the table, and first drew the collarbone, abdominal muscles, and lute bone with a pen.Then draw suspenders and big pants.For the most important facial features, she carefully drew the eyebrows, eyes and nose.

Qingming slightly hooked her lips, "It's very special."

"Mediocre face." Ibaraki leaned over to comment.

"Is it alright?" Li Zi admired it, "It's very upright."

The little paper figurine twitched uneasily.

"Hey, don't move." Lizi paused her hand, her mouth crooked.

Forget it, let's do it first.

She put the little paper man on the ground to grow bigger.

Ibaraki laughed, "This is your last follower. In the future, there will be no little paper figurines willing to be tossed by you. If you become a muscular man, this little cloth head..."

The melodious Benping bell rang, and the little paper figurine jumped up.Being hit by the crow's mouth of Ibaraki, it really is a muscular man.male.The little suspenders wrapped around the ferocious pectoral muscles like underwear.Just the big underpants are okay.But a body of muscles with a delicate collarbone looks very nondescript.

With its mouth cocked, it looked around the room curiously.

Izuku laughed even harder.

"Can't you talk?" Seimei asked.

"It doesn't look like it's fake." Lizi said.

"Next time I'll draw." Seimei said with a smile.

"Why are they all men?" Lizi looked at the upgraded paper figurine, "I thought there would be a little girl."

"It's still a man," Ibaraki pouted, "I can't imagine what she looks like, little girl."

"Okay." Pear said.

This is the second day of the New Year, and the Abe family does not have to visit relatives and friends.Because none of my relatives are in Heian-kyo.But in the afternoon, Suzaku told Lizi that someone was looking for her outside the mansion, but she refused to come in.

Lizi came to the gate and saw Yuan Chuyue wandering there.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yuan Chuyue raised her eyes, revealing a bit of surprise and timidity.She picked up the basket in her hand, "Happy New Year."

Lizi took it over and saw that it was a piece of sumi.Her heart moved slightly, "Did Yuan Chuyu give it to you?"

Yuan Chuyue's eyes darkened for a moment, "You don't call him Master Chuyu anymore, is it because you know it all?"

Lizi pursed her lips lightly, "I don't understand what he did. But he is him and you are you, why don't you come to me?"

"I think I helped him do something wrong. I think you will look down on me." Yuan Chuyue said softly.

"You helped him?"

"I realized that he was wrong, and I always suspected it, but I didn't say it. I didn't say it afterward. I knew that my brother was planning something bad, but I could only pretend not to see it. Even...even my friends walked in Blood array."

Lizi was silent for a while, "Standing in your position, this kind of behavior is normal. Who would betray his brother?"

"But if you stand in your position, you will have a grudge, right?" Yuan Chuyue said with a clear face, "I know, sooner or later there will be such a day that we will no longer get along for various reasons. Since I knew you lived at Abe Seimei's house, I I know. Because my brother has always regarded him as a competitor. But I have to hide it for him. My brother is the hope of our family."

"Is there any hope if you touch the evil god?"

"It's already been stained, and I have to bear the result." Yuan Chuyue said a little sadly, "I just hope you don't hinder my brother, don't tell what you know, even if we didn't become friends in vain. "

Riko was silent for a moment and asked, "Does Raikou-sama know?"

Yuan Chuyue said with a little horror in his eyes, "If he knew, he would definitely goug out his brother's eyes. He hates monsters the most. He once said that if we dare to follow the mother's path and merge with monsters. He will definitely not care about the relationship between father and son. Kill us. You, you must not say it."

Pear nodded coldly.

"I know, you won't want to see me in the future." Yuan Chuyue said softly.

Lizi returned the basket containing Su Mi to Yuan Chuyue.

Yuan Chuyue blinked lightly, was silent for a while, and finally took it, turned around and left.

Around the corner, she boarded the bullock cart.

Sitting there, Yuan Chuyu pursed his lips slightly when he saw her carrying the basket back.

Yuan Chuyue sat down a little far away from him and didn't speak.Now she couldn't see Yuan Chuyu's happy and angry face, so she felt frightened for no reason.

Yuan Chuyu had already taken off the blindfold.I used to think that his pupils were slightly different.Now you will see that both pupils are shining with the same luster.One is the pupil of illusion, and the other is the pupil of illusion.

There was a man sitting beside Yuan Chuyu.If Riko is here, she will be surprised to recognize that the other party is the onmyoji she met once in Harima, Ashiya Domitsu.

"After the new year, you can apply for the assessment of a high-ranking onmyoji." Ashiya Michimi said with a smile, "It's really great. Like Abe Seimei, you have also become the youngest high-ranking onmyoji in Heian-kyo."

Yuan Chuyu slightly raised his lips.

Yuan Chuyue silently lowered her eyes.She and Xiaoli got farther and farther away, why didn't her brother do the same?

The days when we went to school together in the summer can never go back.

……

The New Year's meal is called Osechi cuisine.It is something that is offered to the gods to eat.After the worship, it can be removed for everyone to eat.In the first three days of the new year, there is no fire to cook.Because everyone believes that the god of the year will come to the house, and they are afraid that the jingling of the kitchen will disturb the god.

Osechi dishes are foods that can be preserved for a relatively long time.Although it looks good in a food box, the taste is very bad.

Qingming bought Tang Guozi in advance.Compared with wagashi made of glutinous rice, tang confectionery is baked with flour and is very suitable for eating.

"Is it really made by people from Datang?" Lizi picked up a plum blossom cake.Layers of flour petals, with bean paste in the middle, look very delicious.

"I came here with the envoy of the Tang Dynasty last year," Qingming said, "because there is only one Tang fruit master in Ping'an capital, and his family's products are very difficult to buy. Aren't you going to the market at the gate of Guangyuan Temple?"

"Go." Li Zi bit off the petals of plum blossom cakes.

The last day of the new year is like the last carnival.There will be a market in the evening, and everyone will buy their favorite things with Yu Nianyu filled with lucky money.Tomorrow she'll be back on track, and she's going to the shrine too.

In the evening, it was completely dark.It's a bit windy, but tolerable.Girls in Heiankyo will wear brightly colored kimonos no matter how cold it is on this day.

Qingming sat aside and watched her pull up her black hair and put on small pearl flowers.He chuckled, "Actually, I think you should wear twelve singles."

"Is it because twelve pieces can wear twelve pieces of clothes?" Li Zi looked back from the bronze mirror and said with a smile, "It's too heavy, why don't you wear normal clothes, and a fur cloak outside is light and warm."

Seeing that she had packed everything, Qingming stood up and tore off the coat from the hanger to put it on, "Are you wearing a shikigami?"

"No." Lizi said with a smile, "It's safest with Master Qingming."

"We don't want to go either." Jiu Tun glanced at her lazily.Where she rolled up her hair to reveal the white swan's neck, she turned it slightly and then retracted it.

"Yeah, it's so cold outside." Ibaraki repeatedly roasted the palms and backs of his hands in front of the brazier.

"Come back and bring you delicious food." Lizi said again.

"unnecessary."

"Great."

One of them was lazy, and the other responded with a smile mixed in his voice.

"Then, that's it." Lizi smiled and waved to them, and left with Qingming.

The night of the last day of the new year is not only a carnival for the common people.It is also what hawkers look forward to most.After all, the market has been closed for three days.They feel their cargo jumping with excitement.Those Yu Nianyu with attractive coins are their biggest desire tonight.

If you stand on the top of the mountain gate of Guangyuan Temple, you can see the spectacular picture of countless stalls on both sides of the open street.

The bustling crowd was crowded together, and the road surface of the street could not be seen.Most people are moving forward, only a few people will stop for a while.

Qingming stood on the outside, protecting Lizi from being squeezed with her arms and body.But the two of them were squeezed even tighter.

"Your big paper figurine will come in handy at this time." Qingming said with a smile, "Think about that friend's muscles."

"Hahaha, do you want me to release it?" Lizi said with a smile, "Now I don't have a pen, so I can't draw clothes and facial features."

"Better without clothes and five senses. Then we will soon have an unhindered path."

The two talked and laughed, and walked around the stall with the crowd.Lizi bought a blue iron wind chime.This wind chime reminded her of Omi's village.

Then she saw that the stalls in front of her were covered with beautiful pearl flowers.As soon as she squeezed over to take a closer look, a team of beating gongs and drums passed behind her, and the crowd laughed louder and became more crowded.When she bought the pearl flower and looked back, Qingming was gone.

It must have been led forward by that team.

She clings to the booth tightly, holding on to the railing just fine.Like Master Seimei, he must not be able to stop.It's like stepping into a wave and being carried away involuntarily.

It's too bad, I can't find it at all.

She didn't dare to walk around, so she just stood next to the booth.What if Qingming came back to find her later?

"Xiao Li?" A surprised voice came from behind.She turned her head and saw Yuan Chuyu in a thick coat.

His coat was slightly open, revealing the black hunting clothes inside.Seeing Li Zi's eyes on his clothes, he covered up his coat imperceptibly.

"Why are you here alone? Where's Seimei?"

"Squeezed by the crowd." Lizi said while looking at the person next to Yuan Chuyu.She was slightly startled again, isn't this the onmyoji Ashiya Michiman that Harima had seen?In my impression, he was very hostile to Seimei.

Riko stared at Ashiya Michiman, feeling an unreasonable uneasiness welling up in her heart.For some reason, the figure of the other party seemed to merge with the night.There is a chilling gloomy feeling.

Ashiya Michimi showed an interesting smile, "Isn't this the little girl who went to Harima with Abe Seimei last time?" Seeing Riko's inadvertent vigilance, his smile deepened.

"There are too many people here, very crowded." Yuan Chuyu said, "We are going to the izakaya in front, you should go too. I will take you back later."

Seeing Yuan Chuyu's unusual attitude towards Riko, Ashiya Momomitsu's smile became more meaningful, "It's really interesting." He said with a smile.

"What's interesting?" Lizi asked.

"Things are interesting." Ashiya said. "People who like it are always with people who hate it. This is the most interesting part."

"Don't talk nonsense." Yuan Chuyu said softly.

Although Ashiya Domitsu stopped talking, Riko could see the dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Why would Yuan Chuyu be with such a person?

At this time, she also noticed that Yuan Chuyu's eyepatch covering the Pupil of Illusion was gone.Under the street lantern, there seems to be something inside a pair of pupils.

Lizi lowered her eyes slightly, "I won't go, you guys go. I have to wait here for Lord Qingming. He will be here in a while. Now that the people have dispersed, he will definitely come over."

"With so many people, how could he find you?" Yuan Chuyu persuaded again.

"Why can't I find it?" A clear voice sounded from behind.

Riko turned around, and Seimei's smiling face was reflected in her pupils.He stood tall and straight in front of her, with a sloppy smile on his handsome face.

"Master Qingming, why did you come here?" She cheered and rushed forward.

It is set here that Ashiya Michiman is about 20 years old. (Let’s consider it private)
