juvenile onmyoji

Yueyue folded her arms, her face was full of exhaustion from staying up all day and the discomfort of being woken up.Under the pressure of these two emotions, Pearl of Truth pushed him quietly, and he said unhappily, "Why don't I blame you, it's your idea."

"You take out half of the godhead to go back in time. I took out half of the godhead and secretly stuffed it into the belly of Inari God. Well, why did you choose Inari God? Who can't have a child? I'm scared to death, afraid of being found out by Inari Shenjue."

The pears shook violently.God Amaterasu goes back in time, why does she go back in time?Also, half of Tsukiyomi's godhead was stuffed into Inari's belly. Could this be the reason Seimei-sama was born?Tsukiyomi Amaterasu kindly showed his godhead because Inari God could not bear children.It should be impossible, right?

Tsukiyomi looked impatient, "In short, it was your decision that cut our current strength in half. You can't even defeat Izanami, and you have been imprisoned in the mirror country for so long."

"As for me, no one paid attention to me before. Now everyone says that I am gentle and more like a moon god."

"Do I dare not be gentle? I only have half of my godhead left. Who can I beat when I am arrogant now? Maybe even Abe Seimei can't beat me. He took away half of my godhead and brought it all into play, isn't it another me?" ?”

Lizi smiled lightly and said, "Even so, you don't have to turn around and run when you see Qingming, do you?"

"Hey, it's not only because of him, but also that pear flower. I felt guilty when I saw her. Because of my impulse, I drew my sword and killed her. But I also made up for it. I killed her and took out It’s okay to promise half of yourself with your body, right? The half of the godhead will never come back after being cut off.”

"It's a pity about your godhead. We have been looking for her reincarnation for so long. When we found her, she had grown up, and there was no shortage of suitors around her. There is no way, you can only use half of your godhead, I went back in time. Otherwise, the age gap between Seimei and Rikako would be too great, and they wouldn't be able to be together."

Yuedu read brokenly, "Fortunately, Qingming is up to the challenge, and I like pear blossoms."

With a thought in Lizi's mind, she recalled that in Da Lihua's memory, it was Yuan Chuyu who went to the countryside of Jinjiang to save her.But in her memory, Seimei arrived in Omi.This should be the trick of Amaterasu and Yueyue's siblings, right?

Lizi nodded, "Aren't you acting recklessly? If you didn't kill that god..."

"I don't know," Yuedu said with an aggrieved face, "I thought she was insulting me. Who would have thought that her whole body was the embodiment of food, and she was going to sprinkle grains, cattle, sheep and fish in that way?" Man Weiyuan China."

"However, she also cursed me. No matter what food I grow now, it is too bitter to eat. I think this is her warning to me, not to enjoy the food she turns into."

Li Zi frowned slightly, the matter couldn't be clearer.But there is still a doubt, that is, when did Amaterasu go back in time.Is it before or after Dalihua?But how to ask the export?

Just when she was about to say something, Yuedu began to chase people away, "It's okay, it's over anyway. We also solved all the problems. Although the price is heavy. You go, let me take a rest."

To be so impatient with my sister.Lizi blinked her eyelashes lightly, and in order to maintain her character, she slapped her backhand.Tsukiyomi tilted her head to avoid it, as if she was very used to it.

"Although going back in time can solve all problems, there is one thing that makes me uneasy." Lizi said, "Is the timing of our backtracking right? Will it inadvertently change the fate of others."

"Then there is no way." Yuedu shrugged, "This is how it goes back in time. The difference is a thousand miles away. Besides, Shibi knew this method by accident. I am not skilled in the technique. Even you are not afraid If you fail to cast a spell, is half of your godhead wasted?"

"I don't know which step we did wrong. Lihuazi lived a good life, and her parents and elder brother were still alive. But when we went back in time, her parents died and her elder brother disappeared. She lived in the countryside of Omi with her grandmother at a young age."

"Because of this, we have never been able to find an opportunity for Abe Seimei to meet her. If we hadn't heard Ka Moo Tadyuki let a young man named Yuan Hatsue go to Harima to do business by accident, we would still be worried about how to let them Meet."

Lizi nodded, "However, the matter is already like this. I hope I don't need to go back in time in the future."

"How do you use it?" Yuedu said with a smile, "You only have half of your spiritual power left. If you use it again, you will disappear." He yawned, "I'm really going to sleep, you can do it yourself. I haven't been able to survive since I split half of my godhead."

"Go to sleep." Lizi watched Yueyue's back disappear into the air.She stood for a few more seconds, then turned and walked out of the mansion.

Even after hearing such a shocking thing, her steps were still very steady.Walk out of the tower steadily, and then walk steadily towards the dark alley.It may be a shocking thing, one after another, already a little paralyzed.

She walked in the alley for a long time, until she could no longer see the tower, Qingming whispered in her ear, "Okay, you can stop now."

She felt her shoulders move slightly, and something peeled off her clothes.Immediately afterwards, Seimei appeared in front of her eyes.

When she was about to open her mouth, Seimei gently sealed her lips with her fingers, "Take out the grape leaves that God Ebisu gave, and we'll talk when we return to Heian-kyo."

Another glimmer of light shone, Seimei used a charm to restore Li Zi's figure.

Li Zi nodded, took out a grape leaf from her pocket and put it in her palm, silently recited the name of Heian Jing.

A golden light cast down from the void.Her eyes were suddenly filled with dazzling light, and she couldn't see anything.After a few seconds, the light dissipated.She rubbed her eyes and adjusted to the light a little bit, the gate of Heian capital was reflected in her pupils.

From the beginning to the end, she and Qingming kept their mouths tightly shut.It wasn't until after returning home that Qingming drew up a barrier in the room that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Lizi looked at Qingming, who had just walked out of Yuedu's house, thinking a lot.But the occasion and timing are wrong, so I dare not say.Now you can talk freely, and suddenly you don't know what to say.

After thinking about it, she still broke the silence and said, "It turns out that Seimei-sama was conceived by half of Tsukiyomi's godhead. No wonder I didn't see your existence in my previous memory."

Qingming went to the window and sat down cross-legged. Outside, Teng Snake was cultivating soil for the vines.Ibaraki sat under the tree and didn't know what he was talking to Shuten.He looked at it quietly for a while, then exhaled softly, "It turns out that I am someone who shouldn't exist."

"How can you say that?" Riko sat down next to him, "The body of a god can give birth to a new god. When Izanami gave birth to the god of fire, she was burned and died in the land of the underworld. Her husband was sad Crying loudly, the tears shed turned into the Goddess of Weeping Ze."

"He drew his sword and killed the newly born Vulcan. After the blood on the tip, blade, and handle of the sword flowed down, he turned into eight gods. Not to mention that Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi are Izanamisai The water in the eyes has changed. To put it this way, these newly born gods should not have existed in the first place.”

Seimei lowered her eyes, seeming to be thinking about what she said.

Lizi went on to say, "Compared to your clear origin, my origin is very vague. According to Yuedu, after the death of the God of Five Grains, the soul reincarnated as Qingshui Lihuazi."

"But Da Lihua said that she was born from another time and space. My understanding is that the soul of the God of Five Grains floated to another time and space and was reincarnated as Da Lihua. Later, she was brought to the Heian era by the bell."

"Then Da Lihua went back in time because of Yuan Chuyu's death, and wanted to change the fate of Shimizu and Yuan Chuyu. She went back in time and became a four-year-old Xiaolihua, went to Yuanchu Yu's house to persuade him, and at the same time slowly reversed everyone. fate."

"After Little Pear Blossom changed everyone's destiny, Amaterasu suddenly discovered that Little Pear Blossom was the reincarnation of the God of Five Grains. So she discussed with Yueyue about redemption. Let Yueyue divide her godhead into two halves, and the other half is Yueyue. Read, half reincarnated as you."

"At this time, Amaterasu also used half of his godhead to go back in time. After the time backtracking was completed, Amaterasu, who had not lost his memory, told Tsukuyomi who had lost his memory all this."

"Let him arrange for you to meet me before Yuan Chuyu. That's why when Yueyue saw me, his face was complicated. Because as soon as he saw me, he would remember that he was split in half and was making atonement."

Speaking of this, Lizi couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Lord Seimei, are you atoning for your sin?"

Qingming twitched the corners of her lips slightly, and said softly, "Haven't you been redeeming all the time?"

"Speaking of which, you actually don't need to atone." Riko looked out the window, "Tsukuyomi divided the godhead into two halves, and one half was conceived in Inari God's belly to give birth to you. You actually have nothing to do with him. Tsukuyomi It’s just that the title of redemption has been imposed on you.”

"This is what I do voluntarily," Seimei said, "Tsukiyomi can't control my thoughts. All he can do is continue to create opportunities for us to meet. It's my own choice to like you, not someone asking me to do it. "

"You don't need to persuade me any more. I just got into a dead end just now. I think that the birth of a person should be a natural thing, not a purposeful life like mine."

"But on the other hand, I am me. I was born in my mother's womb for ten months. I grew up under the careful care of my parents. My body has the shape of a white fox. I have not become a god, but I am still the son of a monster."

"From this point of view, there is no difference whether there is a purpose or not. It can only be said that the godhead of Tsukuyomi catalyzed my birth. Without him, I might be born later, but I am still Abe Seimei."

"Sooner or later, I am the son of Abe Masaki and Inari. I am Abe Seimei, not Tsukuyomi. This will never change."

Lizi nodded, "I'm relieved if you can figure this out."

Qingming smiled, "It's also thanks to you."

"What's wrong with me?" Pear asked.

"You were with me all the time. I looked at your face, listened to your voice, and gradually calmed down. Naturally, I figured it out." Qingming said with a slight smile, "It seems that our relationship is so deep, Then there is no reason to separate."

Lizi frowned slightly, "But I am not the reincarnation of the God of Five Grains. You are two years older than me, and Amaterasu must have traced the time back to the time when Qingshui Lihuazi was not even born. And I was born when Lihuazi was four years old. Came across."

"But didn't you notice?" Qingming said, "Da Lihua said that when she was born, she held Benpingling in her hand. You were also brought here by Benpingling. Since Benpingling is in your hand, then It proves that the little Lihua possessed by you does not have Ben Pingling in his hands."

"Isn't this contradictory? If Little Pear Blossom is the God of Five Grains, then why did Ben Pingling take so much effort to bring you here? Another point, you and Big Pear Blossom both came to Heianjing from different time and space. I still think you are Alone. It’s just that the time traveled is different.”

Lizi frowned tightly, "I wore it on Little Pear Blossom. So where did Little Pear Blossom come from without Ben Pingling?"

"Reversal of time is a very rigorous thing. Yuedu has already said that Amaterasu knew the method of regressing time by accident. She uses half of her godhead to cast spells. She is very worried about failure."

"I guess, maybe because of her lack of strength, something went wrong. As a result, your living soul was divided into two halves. One half still returned to a different time and space to be reincarnated as an adult. The other half was conceived here as a pear flower. Therefore, Ben Pingling specially divided the You bring it back. Otherwise, why must you be brought to Omi?"

"Living soul, will it be divided into two halves?" Lizi asked.

"Of course," Qingming nodded, "On some special occasions, such strange things will happen. Just like there are two Qingmings in my body?"

"I have always suspected that he was produced by me constantly going back in time. Backtracking time is like this, because the time is changed abnormally. Some unimaginable things will be left behind."

Pear is still frowning tightly.

Qingming took her hand, "Don't think about it. When I saw you from Omi, it was destined that you were the pear flower I chose. Actually, I want to know what's going on. Ask Ben Pingling who brought you here Just know."

"How to ask?"

"I remember when you were pulled into a space by the sunny doll, the sunny doll told you that the bell can actually talk. It's just that you can't hear it."

"That's right, that's right." Pear nodded.

Seimei looked at Benping Ling on Lizi's waist, "The lock inside is made by the original god. I think there must be a reason for him to appear on you. If you can't hear him, there must be some conditions that have not been met."

"Could it be because the five tadpoles are not full?" Lizi asked, "Why don't we go to the slick ghost now and ask him to point out a few monsters to kill them. That way we can be full."

Seimei glanced at her, smiled faintly, "Let's talk." He stood up, "Did you forget that we promised Shiranui to help him look at the believers? This time, his pearl of truth helped us a lot busy."

Lizi nodded, "Go now."

"No hurry," Qingming said with a smile, "we just came back, first go to see my father to reassure him. I still have to go to the Yinyang Liao for vacation. Tomorrow, I will go to see Shiranui's believers during the day."

At sunset, Yuedu who was far away in Gaotianyuan met Amaterasu, who was changing shifts. He immediately asked his sister to buy more grapes next time, "This time I bought very good ones. Green grapes, sour."

"Who bought you grapes?" Amaterasu frowned.

"You."

Amaterasu slapped Yuedu on the head, "What you, you, I don't have a name?"

Yuedu immediately changed his words obediently, "My sister will buy that grape next time."

"Are you dreaming? I didn't buy you grapes yesterday." Amaterasu was exhausted from being on duty and just wanted to go home quickly.Lazily glanced at Yueyue, turned around and walked towards Tianzhigao City.

"Eh?" Tsukiyomi stared at Amaterasu's back with wide eyes.

"Then who hit me yesterday?"

……

The sun is not strong in the summer morning, and the street in front of Yebisu Shrine wakes up.Row upon row of open-air stalls selling a wide variety of goods line this narrow street.Everywhere is full of vigor and prosperity.

Bowl-sized hydrangeas bloom along the corner of the wall.The breeze blows the flowers, and the pears move their eyes casually, and the entire field of vision is filled with extremely beautiful purple flowers.Some little wild cats rolled happily in the hydrangea.

"So there are so many wild cats in this area." Qingming said.

Riko nodded, "There are indeed many wild cats living here. Sometimes when you come out of the shrine, you can see the big cat leading the kitten running across the street."

The address described by Shiranui is not difficult to find.There is only one family with orange trees in the yard of the whole alley.Looking inside from the half-person-high earthen wall, the utensils on the ground were arranged in a mess, as if no one took care of them.

There was a wooden house in the yard, and there was a faint coughing sound from inside.

"Are you looking for Grandma Mei to buy oranges?" A small voice sounded behind them, and Lizi turned around to see a young child with a bowl tilting his head and looking at them.

"Well, I want to buy oranges, but the harvest season of Shiranui has passed, right?" Lizi bent down and looked at the seven or eight-year-old boy with her hands on her lap.

"You can order it for next year." The young boy said, "You can't find such delicious Shiranui in the entire Heian Kyoto." He bypassed them and opened the fence door and walked in.

"What are you serving?" Lizi asked curiously.

"It's mush," said the toddler. "It's boiled with yams and corn. Grandma Mei has been sick recently and can't get up to cook for herself. She always gives me delicious oranges, and my mother asks me to bring her meals. Come."

"So that's how it is." Lizi and Qingming followed the young boy in, "Can I meet Grandma Mei? Make an order for next year's oranges."

"Are you a guest? Please come in," the old man's weak voice came from the wooden house, "I'm sorry, I can't come out to see you. I dragged my sick body and didn't clean up, it's too rude."

"It doesn't matter." Lizi sat down on the futon outside the house indifferently, did not enter the room, and spoke through the curtain, "I didn't smell the medicine when I entered the courtyard. I wonder if you have seen a witch doctor?"

"Don't look at it, it's old. Something's wrong." Mei said softly.

"So that's the case." Lizi nodded, "I saw this Shiranui tree outside the courtyard, and now you can't see Shiranui in Heiankyo. Everyone likes to eat other varieties of oranges. But I like the taste of Shiranui very much, and I want to share with you You order some oranges."

"Other oranges are just good-looking," the young boy said unconvinced. "Nobles like to put oranges on the table to look at. Everyone is eager to imitate. I don't know that the skin is very thick and rough, so naturally no one looks at it. But there is no one in the world. I can't find oranges as delicious as Shiranui."

"Don't talk nonsense," Mei floated out with a little smile, "Other oranges also have other benefits. But I only like Shiranui."

"When I was very young, my father took me to play in the mountains and saw this tree by accident. It was only as thick as a finger at that time. I begged my father to dig it back and plant it in the yard. Everyone said it would not survive. I begged Lord Shiranui every day, but who knows, the orange tree has grown up well."

"Since then, I have regarded praying to Shiranui God as something I must do every day. I will tell Him happy things and sad things. Sitting under the orange tree on a summer night and listening to the rustling, it seems that Shiranui God is responding to me. "

"Nowadays almost no one grows Shiranui. And no one burns incense to Shiranui. I heard from the elders that gods without believers will slowly disappear from this world. I want to get well soon. Plant more delicious oranges Let everyone eat."

"If more people eat it, maybe more people will grow Shiranui."

Mei suddenly stopped talking, "I'm sorry, people talk too much when they get old. I can't help recalling the past, unknowingly delaying the time of the guests. Shiranui will end in March every year, so please come again. I Will leave you with good oranges."

Lizi nodded, "Then let's go, I wish you a speedy recovery. I will come to pick up oranges in March next year."

She stood up and waited for Mei's response, but found that there was no sound from inside.She looked back at the toddler suspiciously.The young boy said in a low voice, "Grandma Mei has been like this for a while now. She fell asleep while talking. Mother said it didn't look good."

"Didn't Mei ask the witch doctor to take a look?" Lizi asked again.

"The witch doctor is too expensive," the young boy said in a low voice. "Grandma doesn't want to give up money. She has no children, so she always saves the food to feed the cats on the street." He pointed to the cats poking around outside the fence and said, "These It's her child."

"It turns out that the cat outside the shrine was fed by this grandma." Lizi said softly.

Leaving this alley, they boarded the bullock cart.

When passing by the witch doctor's house, Seimei stopped the car.He jumped out of the car and walked into the witch doctor hall.Li Zi rested her chin on her hand and waited for him.After a while, Qingming came out and got into the car again.

"After a while, the witch doctor will go to Mei's house to see a doctor, and after seeing her, he will send someone to our house to collect the medical fee and tell her about the condition."

Lizi nodded, "This grandma is very nice, and she is the last believer of Shiranui who helped us a lot."

After returning home for a while, the witch doctor sent someone.She only charged a little fare, "I'm sorry, I didn't do anything. The old man's body is already withered. I'm afraid it won't be long."

Lizi opened her eyes slightly, not knowing what to say for a while.

"How long can it last?" Seimei asked.

"Just these two days." The witch doctor said with a sigh.

After the witch doctor left, the air in the room became quiet.Seimei took out the letter paper Shiranui gave him and said, "Tell him the matter. No matter what, this is what he asked us to do. Even if the result is not so good."

Lizi nodded, feeling a little sour in her heart, "After Mei dies, Shiranui will disappear slowly, right?"

"As long as you don't leave Gao Tianyuan, He will not disappear." Qingming said, "There are many forgotten gods like Him living there. This is the belief. The day you don't need it, you will be let go soon."

Qingming finished writing the letter and folded the paper into a thousand paper cranes.The folded paper crane immediately raised its wings and flew up.It flew around Qingming and Lizi, seeming to reassure them.Immediately afterwards, a gleam of light flashed, and the thousand paper cranes disappeared into the air.

Lizi originally thought that this was the end of the matter.Unexpectedly, in the evening, the air in the courtyard shook slightly, and Shiranui appeared in the middle of the courtyard.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'm late because I have to deal with some things." He looked at Lizi and Qingming and said with a little apology, "I received your letter, but I didn't reply in time because I felt that I need to come by myself."

Li Zi looked at him in surprise, "But your current spiritual power can only support you to come to Heian-kyo, can't it support you to go back to Gaotianyuan?" This is clearly a journey with no return.

"That's right," Shiranui nodded with a smile, "That's why I came a little late. I distributed my remaining property to those friends who also lost their believers."

"You..." Qingming paused slightly, "Do you want to use the remaining spiritual power to save Mei?"

"Well," Shiranui said softly, "I've thought about it. Mei is my only remaining believer. After losing her, although I can still live in Gaotianyuan, the feeling of being forgotten is really hard. Instead of this, why not Give her the remaining bit of spiritual power. Just to repay her faith in me over the years."

"In that case, you will really disappear." Lizi said softly.

"That's right," Shiranui nodded, "I was born because of people's beliefs, and I live by people's beliefs. Giving my last life to the last person who likes Shiranui is also the end of my mission."

"What's more, listening to Mei speak for many years, she is not only my believer, but also an old friend. It feels very uncomfortable to lose a friend. My spiritual power is weak now, and it is necessary to treat her injuries. That's the only thing I can do. Just let me do a little of what the gods do."

"Since you've already made up your mind, I'll take you there. You can save a little spiritual power by going there in a bullock cart," Qingming said.

Shiranui happily agreed.

Mei's little yard will arrive soon.The sky is full of orange clouds, like patches of burning Shiranui.

Shiranui walked into the yard, looked at the tall orange tree, smiled and touched it with his hands.Then he looked through the wooden house, and cast his gaze on the face of Mei who was sleeping soundly.

"It turns out that she is so old," Shiranui sighed. "When she first prayed to me, she was just a little girl of seven or eight years old. I didn't expect that so many years had passed in a blink of an eye."

"I ordered oranges from Mei," Lizi said suddenly, "I promised her to pick them up next year."

Shiranui smiled and nodded, "My oranges are really sweet."

He sat down under the orange tree, his body glowing brightly.These rays of light slowly floated into Mei's cabin like starlight.As the stars fluttered, Shiranui's body became lighter and weaker.

Lizi and Qingming quietly watched him disappear completely.

Just as they left the yard, there was a sudden noise from the wooden house.With a squeak, a gray-haired grandmother came out.

Lizi looked at her, and it turned out that this was the believer named Mei.He looked ruddy and in very good health.

Mei walked to the orange tree and muttered, "It's strange, I feel better after sleeping. It seems that I was too tired a few days ago."

She picked up the bucket on the side to water the big orange tree, "I'm really sorry, I have neglected you these days. I will take good care of you. You also have to bear more delicious oranges, so that more and more People like you. Shiranui-sama, you can have believers again."

"Shiranui disappeared. But his believers have become healthy again. It seems that there is no problem in living for more than ten years. So will the disappeared Shiranui come back to life? If it can come back, will Shiranui still be the original Shiranui ?”

On the way home, Riko asks Seimei a profound question.

"If there is only one person praying in the world, it is impossible to recreate a god. The original Shiranui was born in the sound of many prayers."

Seimei said, "But this old man named Mei, if more people like to eat Shiranui, then farmers will join in and plant this kind of orange trees. At that time, prayers will reshape Shiranui."

"However, I don't know if the Shiranui tree will be the original one. Let's think so with good expectations. Maybe in the near future, the Shiranui tree will fill your garden. We will see that kind man again God."

"So that's how it is." Lizi's originally sad thoughts became cheerful, "Who knows if this is Shiranui's new student?"

Ps: Added a paragraph, the original ending is a bit vague.In fact, it is the mutual redemption between Shiranui God and believers.I believe that after the future Mei gradually promotes Shiranui, that kind god will definitely appear again.

I think he must be resurrected, because I am eating this kind of orange in front of the computer now~ Although the skin is very thick and ugly, it is really super sweet~
