[Comprehensive] I, the second generation of God, have a bad fate

In the windy and snowy evening, three or two cups of hot tea were placed on the low table, Xia You raised the curtain in another room and quietly looked at the middle-aged woman kneeling on the futon.

The thick clothes are typical red maiden costumes, with a string of rosary beads hanging around her neck. There is a bit of majesty in the seemingly gentle eyebrows and eyes. She is about in her early 40s.

She is Nadeko's master.

Since the other party is a person from Yin and Yang, Xia You temporarily hid in the house.Otherwise, as Huang's disciple, if she was caught by the people in the Yin Yang Liao with a monster like Yu Zaoqian, it would inevitably make others suspicious of him.

In fact, Huang has protected her very well, and has been in and out of the palace several times in the past six months, but Huang has never let anyone other than the maids see her, especially the Yin-Yang Liao.

But just to be on the safe side, Xia You is still unwilling to do anything that will cause Huang trouble, even if the possibility is extremely small.

"Look at your belly, it should be about to give birth, right?"

Nadeko was still lying in the warm quilt, and nodded with a smile when she heard the words, a trace of love and tenderness flashed across her eyes, "Yes, just in these two days."

"It's in this small room, are you really okay?" She frowned and looked at the crude environment around her, with a dissatisfied expression, and then patiently advised: "Before the child is born, I'd better go back with the master." Go to Yin and Yang, the palace people are very experienced, and they are veterans who have delivered babies for female royals."

The so-called female emperor is the emperor's concubine.

"With Shikigami driving the carriage, it will only take a while to return to the dormitory, and nothing will happen."

Yuzao frowned, and once again declined the other party's kindness in a deep voice.

"Thank you, but I still say the same thing. I have already found a youkai to deliver Nadeko, so I don't need to go down the mountain."

Nadeko also smiled and nodded when he heard that, "Master Zhenji, don't worry, everything has been taken care of, you can rest assured, Nadeko will be fine."

Zhenji seemed to want to say something more when he heard the words, but Nadeko said, "It's hard for Master to bring me clothes in such a snowy night. Nadeko always remembers Master's kindness."

In the days before the birth, Zhenji had already sent a lot of things, including clothes, medicinal materials, food, everything that one expects to find.

In this era when materials were still scarce, it obviously cost a lot for Maki to bring these things.

"I watched you grow up, I don't care about you, who cares about you?" Maki smiled, looked at Nadeko's swollen belly and sighed, "Master has no children, so naturally he treats you like his own daughter." of."

As a shrine maiden, if there is no accident, she will never marry in her life.

Nadeko's eyes moved slightly, apparently also remembering how Maki took care of and taught her during the ten years in Yinyang Liao.

"Because of my affairs, Master was scolded by the yin and yang head. It is Nadeko who is sorry for Master." Even now, whenever she sees Maki, Nadeko still feels a little guilty in her heart.

When she first fell in love with Tamazamae, Shinji was the first to find out about it, and she didn't immediately report the matter to Yin Yang Liao, but privately tried her best to persuade her to turn around and not be deceived by the monster.

But Nadeko was deeply impressed by the past when her village was nearly slaughtered by robbers and bandits when she was young. From then on, she understood that not all monsters are evil, and they also protect human beings.And human beings are not all kind, even if they were generals, in the end they still pointed their butcher knives at their own kind.

Later, when her love affair with Tamazamae failed to hide the truth from Yinyang Liao, it was Maki who protected her behind her and excused her everywhere.

Since leaving Yin Yang, Maki is also the only human who will come to visit her, but will not be stopped by Tamamo.

Zhenji shook her head, comforting her with a gentle expression, "What is there to feel guilty about? As I said, I treat you like a daughter. As long as you live well now, Master will feel at ease."

"As for the shrine, it is enough for the master to continue serving the gods."

The two masters and apprentices serve the same god in the same shrine, and Nadeko always believes that the reason why the gods have not punished her for a long time must be because Maki interceded for her again.

After all, although Maki never said it clearly, but from a few words, Nadeko can also insinuate some news, and I can't help but feel guilty and moved.

Nadeko smiled softly, "Speaking of the shrine... I remember that the annual sacrificial ceremony will be held in two nights, right? Is it really all right for Master to visit me at such a busy time?"

Hearing her mention of this ceremony, Zhenji's eyes flashed with a trace of complexity, "You don't have to worry about Master, Yinyang Liao will arrange it properly every year, you will give birth soon, don't think about those irrelevant things, Take good care of yourself."

"That's right, I was worrying too much."

Xia You passed through the curtain with a thoughtful expression.

She also knew about this sacrificial ceremony, and Huang had mentioned it more than once in conversations with her.Including that Huang stopped teaching her in the past half month, and it was also because he was about to start the sacrificial ceremony.

Xia You hasn't seen Huang for half a month. The day before yesterday was a dark day in the Heian era. Originally, she specially brought an iron pot and ingredients from that world, and planned to hold a hot pot feast in Yuzaoqian's residence.

It's a pity that Huang was entangled in affairs, and in the end only the three brothers of Dajiangshan and her spent the festive night with Yuzao's former couple here.

The prepared New Year's gift has not had a chance to be given out for a long time.

"It's getting late, Master is leaving." After chatting for a while, Zhenji got up and began to say goodbye. Before leaving, she asked worriedly for the last time: "Is there really no problem with you giving birth here?"

"Master, don't worry."

"That's good." Zhenji nodded, and no longer insisted on persuading Nadeko to go back to the palace with him, "Then Master will come to see you the day after tomorrow, so you must take good care of yourself."

Nadeko nodded and watched Maki walk outside the courtyard, "Master, it's snowing heavily at night, please take Master back to Heianjing for me."

"No need, although the master is old, he has not reached the point of being useless, so stop at the foot of the mountain."

Thinking that Xia You was still there, Yu Zaoqian did not refuse this time.

After their figures disappeared, Xia Youfang came out from another room, "That man is your master? Why haven't I seen it before."

Although Zhen Ji has a loving and gentle appearance, when Xia You sees her, she always feels an indescribable twist.

Since he cared so much about Nadeko, why didn't she come here a few months ago?

"Well, she only recently started to keep in touch with me. Before I left Jingzhong, many affairs of the shrine and the dormitory fell to Master."

Xia You nodded clearly, "Then Master Zhenji really cares about you. On such a snowy night, she would come to visit you alone."

Night is the world of monsters, and the other party dares to come to visit Nadeko so confidently, either because he is skilled or bold.However, Xia You had secretly observed before, and Zhenji's spiritual power was only at the middle level at her age.

Nadeko was slightly taken aback, without turning his head for a moment, he held on to the quilt slightly, frowned and said, "Yes, although Master has his own shikigami protection, it's still no safer outside Ping'an capital than inside the city, and we can't let her be like this again in the future." Come to see me late, it's all because of my poor consideration."

Hearing Xia You's words, Nadeko began to blame herself.

Xia You pursed her lips, and sighed slightly in her heart.

As the saying goes, she was pregnant and stupid for three years, and Nadeko really didn't hear her words implying that something was wrong with Maki.

She had heard Yuzao complain before that when the day of Nadeshiko's delivery was approaching, the people in the Yinyang House began to come frequently to persuade Nadeko to go back to the palace to give birth safely, and even the master Maki came forward in person, which annoyed him so much .

"Nadishiko and I were once regarded as unforgivable sinners by Yinyangliao. Although a small number of people think that it is not a big deal for Nadeko to give up her maiden status, I know that there are still many people who can't understand us. They have severely stopped Fu My son and I had a relationship, and after it was fruitless, I used gentle means to persuade Nadeko to return to the Yinyang dormitory."

"I don't believe that Yinyangliao can do this because of a priestess with strong spiritual power who cherishes Nadeko, and I don't believe that Yinyangliao can completely let go of prejudice against us just by relying on the words of Master Huang. Ji raised her up and trusted her so much, my words can only make her more depressed."

"Although I don't know what kind of medicine they are selling this time, if there is any harm to Nadeshiko, I will not let any of them go!"

This is what Yuzao said to her before.

Xia You also holds this point of view, showing courtesy for nothing, adultery or robbery.

However, she did not say some things in front of Nadeshiko, lest she would have to fill up her mind at this juncture of childbirth. Pregnant women must maintain a smooth mood.

*****

Escorted by Tamazamae, Maki quickly returned to the foot of the mountain with a lantern. Tamazamae thought of Nadeshiko in his heart, and hurried back to the middle of the mountain after saying goodbye.

Zhen Ji felt that his evil spirit had disappeared, so he continued to wear the coir raincoat, lighted the lamp and rushed towards the capital slowly. She was sitting on a big futon, and the shikigami carried her quickly in the snowy night.

But it took a while to reach Ping'an Jingwai.

In a tavern near Beijing, a group of people were still waiting for her to return to her command.

"Master Yinyangtou, Nadeshiko is still unwilling to follow me back to the palace." She knelt on the ground respectfully and humblely.

The old man in hunting clothes on the seat nodded calmly when he heard the words, as if he had expected the result a long time ago.

"Have you figured out the terrain in the middle of Jingnan Mountain?"

"Yes."

"Go back and complete the map. Be sure to give it to me before noon tomorrow, so as not to delay the arrangement of the Yin-Yang Room."

"Yes." Maki still kept her head extremely low.

Yin Yangtou nodded with satisfaction, and prepared to leave with his men, but it seemed that something sounded, and turned to ask Maki, "Are you sure there will be no mistakes in that spell?"

Zhenji knew what he was talking about, and continued to reply respectfully: "Master Yinyangtou, Zhenji is the maiden who has served God for the longest time, so naturally she can't make mistakes."

"You'd better pray that there is nothing wrong, it is a great weapon against the nine-tailed demon fox." Yin Yang's temples were frosty, and he looked at her with emotionless eyes, and finally smiled, "If there is anything wrong, you understand of."

Maki's body trembled imperceptibly.

"Yes, my lord."

"Let's go, follow me to carry out other plans." Yin Yangtou ordered to the other onmyoji around him, and walked towards the outside of the capital under the snowy night, apparently plotting something.

As they walked farther and farther away, Maki could only faintly hear words such as "medicine field" and "nura group".

Desperately walking to the door, Maki stared blankly at the night sky covered with goose feathers and heavy snow, a chill welled up in her heart from the soles of her feet.

She shivered, closed her eyes in fear, and murmured something uneasily.

"I'm sorry, my dear boy."

Maki swears that she loved Nadeko from the bottom of her heart, and what she just said to her was the truth.If it wasn't for that absurd thing, she would have always regarded Nadeko as her daughter, and prayed for her to live a stable and happy life.

But... the premise is that Nadeshiko will not have any negative influence on her.

Now that she is weak, it is useless to struggle in the quagmire.

If Nadeko didn't die, then she would die in her place.

Taking a deep breath for a moment, Maki slowly opened his eyes, and his slightly cloudy and old eyes looked towards a direction in Heianjing.

In a few days, the most solemn sacrificial ceremony in Heian capital will be held there.People will sing and dance with great anticipation, praying that the coming year will be the same as every previous year, and the weather will be smooth and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.

But they don't know that all good things come at a price.

It's just that they are not the ones paying the price.

*****

The snowy night passed, and the weather cleared up the next day, and the entire Jingnan Mountain was shrouded in white.

Xia You shivered and hid herself in her coat.

Such a cold winter is really difficult for ordinary people in this era, especially the halfway up the mountain where Tamazao lived.

Fortunately, she specially bought several brand new quilts and clothes from reality to keep Nadeko from freezing.

They are human bodies, after all, they are not as good as monsters with perverted physical fitness.

In the yard there is a half-person tall snowman built by Tamamo. It is said that because Nadeko is looking forward to the child so much, he made a snow doll for her to play with when it snowed.

Yuzao went hunting early in the morning, Xia You sat at the door and talked with Nadeko, while carving a hard carrot with a knife, planning to put a nose on the snow doll.

In the middle of speaking, Ibaraki stepped on the thick snow and came to the courtyard in a hurry.Every time Xia You saw his bare feet, she wished to put a pair of cotton socks and shoes on him.

"What's wrong?" Xia You asked him, Ibaraki's face was not very good-looking.

"The medicine field was destroyed a lot last night."

"Is it the newly opened one?" Xia You's face darkened slightly.

Since the medicine field was newly opened on a new site, it was a certain distance away from the Dajiangshan ghost town, so the guards were naturally not as strict as the ghost town.

Medicinal herbs are also rare treasures for some monsters, especially in winter, when food is hard to find everywhere, and little monsters and birds will steal food from time to time in the medicine field.

Xia You thought for a while, "Is it serious that a group of monsters came to prey on you?"

Ibaraki shook his head, his expression became more gloomy, "No, I suspect that there are monsters from other territories who are causing trouble."

Xia You heard a trace of murderous intent and hatred in his tone, which was an emotion that would only be shown when facing certain monsters.

"You suspect it's... the Nuliang Group?"

She remembered that although there would still be conflicts between the Dajiangshan Group and the Nuliang Group, since the dust settled on the territory they were fighting for, the Nuliang Group has settled down a lot.

"It's not suspicion, it's those guys." Ibaraki's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, "Last night, my subordinates found the feathers of poisonous birds in the medicine field. The medicine field must have been destroyed by these stinky birds."

"And the Nuliang Group lost the battle with us for that territory before. I'm afraid they had a grudge early on. Who else would do this besides them?"

Basically, it can be said to be premeditated revenge.

"Nu Liang Group?" Xia You frowned, and said hesitantly, "Nu Liang Hua Piao is very arrogant, but I don't think he is the kind of person who would do such a thing..."

When interacting with Lu Sheng in the present world, Xia You also heard from him some deeds of the slippery ghost when he was young.

Coupled with several visits to the old version of Nuliang Huapiao, Xia You felt that Nuliang Huapiao might be an ambitious bandit lord, but he was by no means a sinister and cunning villain.

If there is really dissatisfaction, they will definitely confront the Dajiangshan group in an open and honest manner.

Xia You didn't object to saying that he had kept a low profile during these days and was lurking in the east to plot a counterattack.But if Nuliang Huapiao really wants to fight back, he will definitely accumulate strength calmly and seize the opportunity to seize the entire territory in one fell swoop, instead of destroying the medicine field as he is doing now, as a childish and impulsive revenge.

As soon as Ibaraki heard her speak for Nuliang Huapiao, the jar of jealousy in his heart immediately overturned, and the sour water gushed out, his face was full of embarrassment.

"That guy tried to kidnap you before, but you actually spoke for him?"

"..." Xia You's mouth twitched.

"Hmph, I know, because the old guy gave your brother the prescription, so you think he is a good monster, right?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ibaraki pursed his lips and snorted coldly. He was so angry that he still didn't dare to get angry with her, so he could only fold his arms and look at Tiantian by himself, sullen.

Did she forget that when she met him for the first time, who gave him all the injuries and poisons?

Oh, woman.

"..."

Xia You sighed deeply, this guy's jealousy is getting bigger and bigger.

She felt that it didn't make sense with Ibaraki at this time. You must know that Ibaraki and Nuliang Yuba now looked at each other through colored glasses, and how could she erase the 20-year-old grudge between the two with just one word.

But having said that, under what circumstances did these people who hate each other sign a peace treaty?

In the afternoon, after dinner, Xia You consciously helped Yu Zaoqian clean up the snow in the courtyard.

Sweeping and sweeping, Nadeko's groans and cries of pain came from the room, Xia You was startled, and hurriedly threw the broom and rushed into the room.

"Her water broke."

This means that Nadeshiko will give birth tonight.

A few days earlier than they expected, the incident caught people off guard, and Tamazamo suddenly panicked, she was at a loss to comfort his wife and didn't know what to do.

Xia You couldn't help but said loudly: "Don't be cold, go and call Grandma Jiu!"

Grandma Jiu is the proprietress of a small tavern in the ghost town of Dajiang Mountain. She can brew and swallow her favorite demon wine. She has a high reputation in the ghost town. She was a midwife who specially delivered women during her lifetime.

As early as half a month ago, Yuzao made an appointment through Ibaraki and Grandma Jiu to deliver Nadeshiko.

The other party had planned to come from the ghost town tonight, and stayed with Fuzi for the past few days, but unexpectedly Fuzi had an attack earlier.

Ibaraki finally couldn't see his stupid look, frowned and said, "I'll call someone, you wait here patiently."

Yu Zaoqian finally came to his senses, calmed himself down with a slightly pale face, and quickly said: "Okay, thank you very much."

After finishing speaking, he and Xia You started to help Nadeko prepare for the delivery.

It is necessary to boil hot water. Although it is not the time to heat hot water, it is necessary to prepare the firewood first.There is also the flannelette prepared for the newborn baby before, and I have to quickly find it out of the bag.

Xia You was busy running around in and out of the room, and Nadeko's unbearable pain groaned more and more frequently in the room, which made her panic for a while, who had never seen such a scene before.

The pain lasted for more than three hours, and Nadeko was already sweating profusely in the room, but Ibaraki and Sake Granny hadn't arrived yet.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Xia You waited nervously in the courtyard, frowning to see if there was a familiar figure on the path.

Suddenly, a familiar breath of power approached at an extremely fast speed, and she instinctively followed the breath of power to grab the flying thing.

This is a sound transmission paper crane, which belongs to Huang.

"Xia You, I can't come out to protect you tonight, you must remember, don't expose yourself in front of people, don't trust anyone in Yinyangliao."

Xia You was slightly taken aback.

"Then next, obediently do as I say..."
