Women's clothing because of lack of money [Comprehensive]

"Chiba Shrine? The shrine dedicated to Inari God? It shouldn't be. Inari God has never spared divine power. The shrine she blesses should have the strongest barrier." Someone retorted.

"Let's send someone there." A gentle voice suddenly broke into the topic of their discussion. Among the many onmyojis, the man sitting at the top looked serious, "Tomorrow is the winter festival, the day to pray to the gods, don't Something went wrong."

"Yes, follow the instructions of Mr. Abe."

The rest of the onmyoji stopped talking and respectfully obeyed the man's instructions.

Among the major yin and yang families in Kyoto, apart from the behemoth Genji, the Abe family who has risen in recent years should not be underestimated.Genji fell into the dust valley after being attacked by monsters, and he rarely even showed up in meetings.The person who is currently in charge of the Onmyouji House in Kyoto is the contemporary head of the Abe family——Abe Masaki.

The weather in Kyoto is about to change.

The other onmyojis from the other families secretly exchanged a few glances, and then lowered their eyebrows without revealing their intentions.If you sail against the current, you will retreat; if you sail with the current, you will advance.This has been true since ancient times.

It was already late at night after the meeting, and the attendants of Abe's family took the head of the family back to the mansion.The streets of Kyoto are still lit up. Since Genji's change, there are many fewer people walking on the streets than before, and it is a bit deserted.

But tomorrow is the winter festival, and every household consciously hangs up the knotted ropes and bells prepared for the festival, which makes people look a little more festive.

"Ma'am, did she fall asleep?" Abe Masaki rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, trying to relieve today's fatigue.

The attendant standing in front of the carriage replied respectfully, "Go back to the Lord's words. Not yet, Madam is waiting for you to go back in the mansion."

"She is always like this." As long as he thinks of the gentle woman holding tea and lighting the lamp, Abe Masaki's eyebrows and eyes will turn into tenderness. "If I go home so late next time, please advise Madam to go to bed earlier."

"The subordinates have all persuaded you, Madam insists on waiting for you to come back. If possible, the subordinates also want to persuade the Patriarch to return home as soon as possible, and don't make Madam wait so long."

Mrs. Abe has always been kind to others, and the conversation between the subordinates and the Patriarch was relaxed, and sometimes they would give some innocuous suggestions.

"Recently, there is no other way. Genji doesn't show up. Many things in Kyoto need to be arranged by us." It is also difficult to be a shopkeeper, not to mention that the recent Kyoto is not peaceful.Abe Masaki sighed in his heart and had no choice but to accept this responsibility.

"Abe" is written on the gold plaque, and there are two huge copper locks on the red sandalwood.In front of the gate of Abe's mansion, a woman carrying a lantern was wearing a light pink kimono, with cherry blossoms and fragrant grass embroidered on the hem of the clothes, which were elegant and simple.Her facial features are beautiful and her expression is gentle.From time to time, he would look around the corner of the street, and only smiled when he saw the figure returning from the carriage.

The wheels of the carriage turned an unknown number of times, and it stopped firmly in front of the gate of Abe's mansion.

"This subordinate pays his respects to Madam." The coachman in charge of driving the carriage quickly saluted when he saw the person coming.

"You don't need to be too polite, I have worked hard for you today." The woman who was respectfully called "Madam" by the servants was the person who was waiting in front of the gate, and her voice was as gentle as spring breeze, "Husband, welcome home."

Hearing this familiar voice, Abe Masaki quickly got out of the carriage.In the darkness of night, he held the woman who had been waiting for him for a long time by his arms, and covered her half of the wind and cold with his coat.The tone was half doting and helpless, "Why did you wait outside the mansion? It's windy outside, madam, come in quickly, don't catch a cold."

"It's not cold today, and tomorrow is the winter festival. It should be sunny." The woman's smile has never stopped since she met Abe Masai, and the love between the two is endless.Everyone in Kyoto knows that the Patriarch of the Abe family is extremely affectionate with his wife.

"It's already winter, remember to wear a cloak when you go out."

"What the husband said is true, I will remember it."

"Then why do you do it every time? I told you the same way last time."

"It's my concubine who is in a hurry, and wants to see you back soon."

The two figures cuddled together and walked towards Abe's mansion together.The servants thoughtfully set aside a path for the two of them, and did not step forward to disturb them.

Gentle, virtuous, courteous, and beautiful, Mrs. Abe is not bad in any of them, except for her background.Mrs. Abe was born as a commoner, and her family was not noble, but since she married into the Abe family, she has been very affectionate with the head of the Abe family, Abe Masaki.

In the deep night, only a few lights were left in the Abe family's mansion for emergencies, and people gradually fell asleep.

Even the main house where the head of the family lived was silent, and after a while, the sound of long breathing could be heard.The red candle that has been blown out, all the remaining heat from the wick is cold in this winter night.

A shadow flitted out of the Abe family's mansion quickly, almost invisible to the naked eye, and sometimes only a gradually disappearing afterimage proved that it was not illusory.

Not long after she walked out of the mansion, she ran into another slender shadow head-on.The moonlight can only illuminate half of the corner of the turning, but the remaining half is not very clear.

"Ah, what a rare visitor." The surprise in her eyes faded, her smile was still gentle, and she was no stranger to the person in front of her. "Genji has been seriously injured, and there is no movement these days, so you don't need to worry about them."

"I'm not here for Genji." The man's voice was indifferent, but his deep voice was different from the pride of the past, "I heard...you have a way to hide your evil spirit, and you can live among humans."

Behind the word "I heard" was a firm tone.Obviously, he has confirmed the authenticity of it.

Hearing the person's words, she couldn't help but froze for a moment, with doubts flashing in her eyes.But this doubt was quickly concealed by her, and she admitted frankly, "It is indeed so."

"I want to know." The man said these four words in a tone, as if he was carefully guarding some treasure.This is a look that Ge Ye has never seen before. The powerful demon fox born with nine tails has always been dismissive of everything in the world. How could he have such emotions?

Although she was extremely puzzled, Ge Ye also knew this person's temperament, and she would not ask more questions than she should.She took out a crystal clear jade bracelet from her sleeve. The top of the jade bracelet was not smooth, but was engraved with many runes, circle after circle, extremely mysterious.

"This is a bracelet that blocks demon power. If you're not in a hurry, I can make another one for you. Now I only have a spare for myself."

The bracelets worn by women do not match the style of bracelets worn by men.Women's bracelets are more delicate and elegant in appearance, while men's bracelets are more solemn and generous.

The jade bracelet in Ge Ye's hand was decorated with a few cherry blossoms, it was obviously a bracelet that only women would wear.

The man was silent for a while, then asked, "How long does it take to make a bracelet?"

"The bracelet needs to be made from heaven and earth spirit jade and things used by human onmyojis, and it will take four or five months at the earliest."

"So long?" The man's tone became a little more angry, and then he also realized his slip of the tongue, and then said, "Lend me this bracelet first, and I'll get another one in four or five months. Only……"

"You don't need to borrow it, just treat it as my previous thank you gift. If Genji hadn't been seriously injured by you, I wouldn't have been able to marry into the Abe family as I wished, and I might be recognized as a monster at that time." Recalling the beginning, Ge Ye sighed, The eyes are wistful.Fortunately, now that it's done, she can get her wish.

"Okay." He nodded in response, and took the bracelet that could only block demon power from Ge Ye's hand.

"Apart from this matter, do you have anything else to do?" Ge Ye couldn't help asking him.

"Yes, how did you...have a good impression of a human being?" Tamazamo used to think that the woman in front of her was ridiculous, but now that she thought about it, she seemed to be somewhat similar to herself.

"Pfft, is it possible that you have a crush on which girl among human beings? So you come to ask me this question?" Ge Ye never expected that he would ask himself a question about human favorability.

Tamamo pursed her lips, thinking of the child's face, although she was dressed as a witch, the child's gender was not a woman.With this in mind, he retorted, "No."

"That's really strange." Ge Ye didn't know which human being was favored by the person in front of him.Regardless of the bottom line, she is not a person who likes to ask about people's privacy.

"Weak creatures like human beings are not as powerful as monsters. However, liking is a very subtle emotion. When I fell in love with him, even though there are all kinds of things in the world, I can only see him alone in my eyes."

"..." Yu Zaoqian heard Ge Ye's answer, his life is so long, but there are very few things worth remembering.From the first encounter in the mountains and forests, to the reunion in the drizzle like fog, and the longing from sunrise to sunset.That little human actually took a place.

It’s weird.

"The Prophet of Spring River Plumbing Duck, you have to try for yourself whether it's a blessing or a curse." Seeing him contemplating, Ge Ye stopped disturbing him, "So, I'm leaving, I have to go to the palace."

"it is good."

The woman's pale pink dress disappeared into the air.There are many demon fox clans, he likes to be alone, but Ge Ye is different.

But even if they are all demons, their purpose is not the same.

Yuzao's fingers rubbed the uneven runes on the bracelet, thinking about when to go to Chiba Town again.

He still remembered the words he had promised to give the child a fox mask.

Kyoto source home.

Centipede, how can it be so easily disintegrated?

The scorched houses and courtyards have a new look, and the glazed lamps are more exquisite than the past.The enchantment is also re-established, and the majestic spiritual power is entrenched in it, like a giant.

"Master Patriarch, the content of today's meeting of the Onmyoji in Kyoto has been attended." There are not a few Onmyo families who belonged to Genji, and Genji is not as powerful as the Abe family now, and it is not so bleak that there are few people.

The Patriarch of the Yuan family took the booklet and said with a sneer, "Well, the Abe family has been in full swing recently, and many people have gone to them."

That person has served the Yuan family for many years, how could he not understand the temperament of the head of the Yuan family?With a smile on his face, he said flatteringly, "It's just a temporary gain, the glory of the Yuan family is long-lasting."

"That's natural. Our Yuan family must be the most noble existence in the Yin-Yang family in Kyoto. Hmph, I don't know what kind of wind the Abe family has taken advantage of. If it weren't for..." The head of the Yuan family suddenly remembered the past His face became even uglier.If it wasn't for the big monster, how could their Yuan family have suffered such a catastrophe?

He waved his hand to make the onmyoji of the subordinate family retreat, and the Patriarch of the Yuan family didn't think about that book.He paced back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and finally planned to go to that place to have a look.

After the Patriarch of the Yuan Family walked out of the main house, someone came to light him with a lantern.This servant is an old servant, deaf and dumb, honest and dull.He stayed in the Yuan family for nearly his whole life, and when he died later, he should be buried in the cemetery of the descendants of the Yuan family.

The two came in and out in an orderly manner according to the five elements and eight trigrams, as if they were walking through a maze.It took a full half a cup of tea before the head of the Yuan family arrived at the most secret place of the main house of the Yuan family.

The gate covered with talisman paper seemed to be under shackles, fearing that the secrets inside would be discovered, and the word "altar" was written on the exquisite plaque on the gate to conceal it.

Reassured by the loyalty of the old dumb slave, the Patriarch of the Yuan family let him guard outside.

At the entrance of the altar, there is also the Onmyoji of the Yuan family who is ordered to guard, and the guards are heavily guarded.When they saw the Patriarch coming, they all respected and saluted.

"How's the ceremony going?" the Patriarch of the Yuan Family asked.

"Everything is under control, and it won't be long before we can get the power of the Lord God." The onmyoji in charge of the ceremony replied, but when he finished speaking, he looked a little hesitant, "However, The time for the sacrifice this time is too short, and the priestesses for the next sacrifice have not yet been cultivated, so we..."

"Where's the power to protect the sword?" The Patriarch of the Yuan family interrupted his worries, impatiently asking the point.

"The guardian knife has been tempered by divine power, and it was sent to Mr. Yuan Jiangtian not long ago."

Hearing this sentence, the Patriarch of the Yuan family was satisfied. He nodded and said, "Complete the sacrifice as soon as possible, and then clean up the altar. As for the next sacrifice, we still have a few years."

"A few years is not enough to train the next priestess..."

"I say enough is enough. Even if there is no sacrificial maiden, we can find other powers to replace it. As long as Yuan Jiangtian is still alive, our Yuan family can have a steady stream of power."

"...Yes." Thinking of Yuan Jiangtian's appearance, the onmyoji didn't dare to say anything more, and nodded in agreement with a trembling voice.

Yuan Jiangtian of the Yuan family was originally a genius of the Yuan family.Unfortunately, he was not a child born in the direct line.This means that he can only be the weapon of the Yuan family, not the person in power who controls the weapon.

The night before the Winter Festival, the coldness in the air seemed to be heavier than ever, probably it was going to snow.

A pair of silent eyes looked out of the window, and the stars reflected in the dark eyes, finally there was some light in their eyes.

"Xiaotian, this winter you will be able to take over as the guardian sword of the Yuan family." The mother's distant words came from the memory, with a joyful and proud tone, as if he was about to inherit a noble honor. "That is a magical knife that can only be held by the best onmyoji in the past."

The slender fingers brushed against the handle of the knife. It was obviously a cold sharp weapon, but it was as hot as a soldering iron.

"..." If he could get rid of this shackle, what would he look like?

Before he could think about it, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Master Yuan Jiangtian, Master Patriarch, please come over."

Yuan Jiangtian was taken aback for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he responded to the man, and went out silently with the guardian knife at hand.

Go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, this time I don't know what it is.

"I heard that there is a big monster near Kyoto recently, and its location is in the southwest. Master Yuan Jiangtian, please protect the glory of the Yuan family and capture that monster alive."

Didn't he just slash under the blade, did he want to capture him alive?Why?Yuan Jiangtian never asks extra questions, he is only responsible for execution.

"it is good."

When the dawn came, Bai Shu and Platycodon jacaranda had already dressed, and they were waiting respectfully for Master Xinzi to come out outside the shrine of Lord Yujinjin.

Today's Xinzi is wearing the priestess costume for the sacrificial ceremony. As the great priestess who leads the dance, the costume is heavy, brightly colored, and the details are more cumbersome. It looks dignified and prudent.

"I'll trouble you later." Xinzi held a dancing fan and a hand bell in her hands. She hadn't danced Kagura dance at the ceremony for a long time, probably because she was old, or she didn't meet her status. "Remember not to make mistakes."

For some reason, she felt a little nervous today.The ceremony must be successfully held, Xinzi took a deep breath, and her face turned calm.

"Okay, Lord Xinzi." The three of Baishu nodded, watching Xinzi lead the witches towards the high altar one by one.
