Qingming asked Haizatou to borrow a torch.

The firelight illuminates the torii very brightly.Sure enough, the words Qingshui Lihuazi were engraved on the mottled crossbar.

Qingming stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, "It seems to have existed for a long time. What did you think of?"

There was an uncertain light in Lizi's eyes, "I was wondering, could it be my brother?"

"Yes, you said that you have an elder brother who has been missing for a long time." Qingming said softly.

While touching the name, he frowned slightly and shook his head, "Maybe it's just a coincidence." He stood up and stretched out his hand, "Let's go, Sea Zuotou is already impatient."

Lizi glanced at the kind monster with her hands on her hips, and sure enough, she saw impatience on its face.

"Do we have to take its boat?" She whispered, with some resistance on her face.

Qingming was startled for a moment, remembering that she hated monsters, "This is the only way to go back as quickly as possible."

"Okay, let's get on the boat." Worrying about embarrassing him, she hurriedly pretended it didn't matter.

Sea Head invited them to sit in the cabin, and the whole ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

When it was just dawn, the Luocheng Gate of Heianjing slowly opened.People who are busy with their livelihoods have begun to come in and out.But the northern part of Sakyo, the residential area belonging to the nobles, is still sleeping in the spring mist.

Walking on Suzaku Avenue, Seimei smiled and introduced her family to Riko, "There are only me and my father in the family. There are not many servants, only five. Most things are done by my shikigami."

"Is that an adult called Teng Snake?" Li Zi asked.

"Well, besides him, there is another shikigami named Suzaku."

"Do Onmyoji have shikigami?"

"Of course not. Generally speaking, it is passed down from generation to generation. But there are also Shikigami who are obtained through bond formation. Suzaku was given to me by my master. Teng Snake formed a bond on his own initiative after he failed in provocation."

"So, if a person who doesn't know anything gets the shikigami passed down, he will be very powerful?"

"The combat power of a shikigami is related to the person who manipulates him," Seimei said. "The stronger the manipulator's spiritual power, the stronger the shikigami will be."

"I see." Pear nodded.

"Here we are," Seimei pointed to the mansion on the street, "Look, it's on Tsuchimmon Avenue, and it's easy to find."

Lizi raised her head, and on the beautiful and secluded side of the stone road, this house was lightly and neatly sandwiched among the Japanese-style houses, not conspicuous.Compared with the surrounding houses covered with gold leaf on the eaves, it looks very simple and elegant.

Entering the courtyard, a narrow path carved out of cobblestones leads directly to the porch.Surrounded by snow-white fine sand and well-proportioned flowers and trees.The fine sand and gravel are paved evenly, with ripples drawn on it, like a formation.

"That's Rhododendron," Qingming followed her gaze. "When the flowers bloom, the gravel will be white and the Rhododendrons will be red. It will be very pleasant to enjoy the shade here."

"My lord, the master is waiting for you in the hall." The servant who brought them in said.

"Okay." Qingming nodded gently.

Hearing that he was going to see his father soon, Li Zi immediately became nervous.My mind is full of whether I will be hated by the other party.After all, it's not relative, so why should I be responsible for her life after saving her?

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt guilty towards Seimei.Qingming agreed to such a troublesome matter without hesitation.

"Don't worry," Seimei said with a smile, "my father is a very kind man."

Seimei-sama is still as gentle as ever.But even so, the tension in her heart was still not lessened.

She was not relieved until she met Abe Masaki.

As Seimei said, his father was indeed a gentle and considerate person.He didn't mention her sadness, nor asked about her family background.All the topics that made her uncomfortable were not mentioned at all, but she was told not to restrain herself.

Qingming: "I asked Suzaku to clean up a room, you go and have a look. If there is something inappropriate, there is still time to change it."

Knowing that they must have something to say, Lizi thanked her and followed the maid out of the room.

Seeing that her figure had completely disappeared, Seimei closed the sliding door.

"Father, have you read the letter I wrote?"

"I've seen it, isn't it about this kid?" Abe Masaki asked with a smile.He is not similar to Qingming in appearance, compared to Qingming's handsome, he is honest.

"Well, there is one more thing," Qingming said, "Please don't let her know that I am the son of a white fox. That child has resistance to monsters. Although the mother is not a monster, after that incident, no one thinks He is divine."

Abe Masaki nodded, "Anyway, it was the same in the past. Let's keep it a secret until the truth comes out. You went to Harima this time, and you still don't have any clues?"

"No, I went to see my mother's shrine. Now there is only one torii gate left." Seimei said lightly.

"Hmm." Abe Masaki didn't show any expression on his face, as if there were too many such things.He paused, as if thinking of something, with a playful look on his face, "What do you think about this child, is she the wife you chose for yourself? I saw she is very beautiful."

Qingming was taken aback, "Of course not."

"It's okay. After what happened with your mother, I don't want to control you in this kind of thing."

"Ah, it's all over." Qingming stood up and wanted to leave.

"Speaking of which, the child's father used to be the governor of Suruga." Abe Masaki said slowly, "I heard that Genji had a marriage contract with the Shimizu family."

"Marriage?" Qingming frowns slightly, "Genji, which one?"

"Well, I can't remember clearly. After all, I heard someone mention it by chance more than ten years ago." Abe Masaki recalled.

……

Lizi knelt on the cushion a little awkwardly, and only looked around slowly when the maid stepped back.She had already changed out of her bathrobe with the help of the maid, and put on a light orange casual dress embroidered with dandelions.Even the braids on the sideburns are wrapped with hairbands of the same pattern.

The room is divided into an outer room and an inner room, separated by a sliding door.The layout is elegant, with a landscape painting hanging on the wall, and many girls' things are placed on the low cabinet.There is even a clay doll for girls to play with.The large room is very bright and airy.

Qingming's house is next door, and there is a board bridge between her house, which can be seen by opening the side door.

She lowered her eyes and twirled her fingers around the knot on the bemping bell, making a small noise.

"Why are you sitting still?" There was a questioning voice from the door, she looked up and saw Qingming walking in with her package.

"Here." He put the package on the low table, "If you are not tired, we can go and make a tomb for your grandma right now."

"I'm not tired." Lizi immediately stood up, quickly put on her clogs and ran to the yard, turned to look at Qingming.Qingming smiled lightly and walked out slowly.

They walked towards the outer court, "Do you like this room?" Qingming asked suddenly.

"I like it," Lizi nodded, "but it's a little too good, I don't have to live so well."

Qingming finds that Xiaoli, who speaks earnestly, is very cute.Her black braids hung down, and her lips were as red as petals.His father's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, is this the wife you chose for yourself?

He froze for a moment, and hurriedly pushed the thought out of his mind.This is not my original intention to save her.

"Qingming, I heard people say that you come to see you when you come back." A young man came to meet him. He had a handsome face, his hair was tied up high, he was wearing a gorgeous coat, and he had a flute pinned to his waist.

"Boya?" Qingming was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but glance at Lizi.

"Yes, it's me. Why are you so surprised?" Yuan Boya walked over with a smile.The noble son of the royal family who has no worries in life always has a bright and bright smile on his face. "Hey, who is this?" He looked at Li Zi curiously.

"It has nothing to do with you." Qingming said lightly.

"Okay." Yuan Boya immediately stopped asking, because he saw from the face of the other party that the person who asked me was dead. "Where are you going? If there is no place, why don't we go to Shenquan Garden to play."

"Go to the cherry blossom forest outside the city and make a clothes grave." Seimei said.

"Okay." Seeing that the person who asked me was still dead, Bo Yuanya resolutely gave up asking, "Take me, my car is at the door, and I can leave immediately."

Qingming glanced at the unresponsive Lizi, frowning slightly, isn't it?

The cherry blossom forest outside Ping'an City is next to the Kamo River.Although the flowers are not open at the moment, there are still many people playing by the river.

They found a secluded place and made a tomb.

Yuan Boya looked at the tearful Lizi and the solemn Qingming, the atmosphere was so serious that he could only keep his mouth shut.It was not until after a while that the girl gradually stopped crying that he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Let's go to Kamogawa to play." The heartless noble boy invited happily.

Qingming stared at Li Zi, then at Yuan Boya, and finally sighed, "Bo Ya, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Yuan Boya asked.

Seeing that they had something private to say, Lizi hurriedly walked a few steps to distance herself.

"Do you have a fiancee?" Qingming asked bluntly.

"Me?" Yuan Boya looked surprised, "How could I have that kind of thing?"

"Isn't it you?" Qingming looked puzzled.

"You're really weird today, Qingming." Yuan Boya looked at him with a smirk on his face as if he understood something.

"Since you saw me, your attitude was not right. Now you ask this kind of thing again. Do you like that little girl named Qingshui Lihuazi, and you don't know where to find out that she has a marriage contract, so you start thinking Idea broken?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Seimei frowned, and began to screen other Genjis, "I'm a person out of vulgar tastes, and I won't get married."

Yuan Boya bared a smile, "Ghosts believe you."

The sky suddenly darkened, and the sun was covered with a layer of black mist.

"It's broken, the smell hasn't been removed." Qingming's eyes darkened.

"what?"

……

"Very hungry, really hungry."

A young man appeared in the woods, curled up on the ground, and squeezed out weak words with a painful expression on his face.

He is very good-looking, and the passers-by around couldn't help but surround him when they saw him, "Are you hungry? Here's the red bean paste bun for you to eat."

"Ah, this child is so good-looking, who's young master?"

"Ah, it's really beautiful."

Everyone admired and took out food from the basket they carried and handed it to him.

Only Lizi could see a lack of popularity on his face.A flawless, cheerful smile that creeps her down the spine.She wanted to retreat, but the semicircular barriers around her told her that someone had set up a barrier.

"It's not enough, there's only so much that's not enough." The boy ate all the food handed to him.

"Not enough and more." The kind people gave him all the food in the basket.

"It's still not enough." The boy who ate everything in his stomach stood up, as if he was about to cry.

Panic started to appear on people's faces.

"There's something wrong with this kid."

"Yeah, is there anyone who can eat food that can't fit in an ox cart?"

They started to retreat, each looking for a way out of here.But it came back after a while.

"What's going on? Why did you walk around or come back here?"

"Still hungry." The boy said aggrievedly, he stretched out his hands, "Still hungry."

People began to run around in panic, "Is it a monster? It must be a monster."

"Brother—" a voice shouted from afar.

The voice approached from far away, and a girl in red clothes appeared in the forest, "Ah, brother, you are here."

"I'm so hungry." The boy rubbed his belly, as if he was about to cry, and shouted to the girl, "Hongye, I'm really hungry."

"Ah, I really can't help you," Hongye fell beside him, touching his hair affectionately, her eyes swept over the shivering humans, "Well, look, you've already hunted a lot of food for yourself, why? Why not just eat it?"

"Hongye, I'm so scared." The young man hugged Hongye's slender waist, "I dare not eat people. But, I'm so hungry." He held a finger in his mouth and said aggrievedly.

The innocent expression made Hongye immediately flooded with maternal love, "Ah, my brother is so cute, it's not surprising that such a kind-hearted you say such things."

Where is it cute?It's a giant baby.

Pear backed away slowly, behind the farthest cherry tree.

Knowing that Seimei was around, she was not as frightened as she was when she saw the mountain spirit at first.After hiding it, he desperately thought about how to delay the time so that Qingming could find her.

After thinking for a while, she quickly cut out a few little paper figurines to hide on her body, and cut out a few light bulbs and stuffed them into the hands of the little paper figurines.Although this is actually not worth thinking about, after all, she only knows this.

"Very hungry, so hungry." The giant baby over there began to cry again, "I dare not kill people, woo woo woo."

"Okay, I got it." Hongye comforted the young man affectionately, "Then, let me do the tricky part for my brother."

She flicked her sleeves, and countless red leaves shot out like a rain of swords.Immediately, a red mist of blood filled the forest.

People screamed and fell down, and the boy jumped happily with his arms outstretched.Accidentally, a sharp red leaf cut a wound on the back of his hand.Unlike the red blood of humans, the juvenile's blood is green.There was a scent of vines in the air.

At the same time, Ben Pingling on Lizi's waist vibrated slightly.For the first time, the wooden sign inside gave off a faint red light, just like the hungry monsters she had seen.

Li Zi curled up under the root of the tree, not daring to look over there.She looked down at the bell and asked softly in surprise, "Are you hungry too?"

The red leaf over there took the boy's hand and led him to the object that had been cut into thin flesh so that no shape could be seen.

She tilted her head gently and said, "Enjoy yourself, brother."
