Sleep is the best medicine.

When you fail a test, when you are broken in love, when your job is not going well, when you are scolded by your tutor or boss for no reason, the joys and sorrows of human beings may not be the same, but no matter what happens, as long as you can truly understand sleep well--

The sun seems to have been out for a long time.

The country in the far east has a particularly early sunrise.At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, sometimes at four o'clock in the morning, the sky is already bright with the light of dawn.

A'Du slept for a long time, when he woke up, what he saw was the sunlight reflected on the wooden floor.

The dark brown wooden floor is illuminated by the sun, dimly exuding the warmth of a circle of light.

There were insects chirping outside the window, even if she didn't look up, she could still imagine the greenery full of vitality.

When she woke up, she couldn't see the familiar room, and her heart was a little empty for a moment, but the fact that she was still in the Heian Era unexpectedly did not cause excessive pain.

Perhaps after one night, the cognition of not being able to return to the modern age finally gradually settled. A'Du turned over in the bed and realized that what she needs to pay more attention to now is the next question: how should she live in the Heian Era? go down.

The so-called useless is a scholar, and the knowledge of modern college students is of no use in this era-unless she majors in medicine or agriculture.

Why did she choose useless psychology in the first place?

A'Du let out a long sigh in his heart.

It was already bright outside, and the stock master was nowhere to be found. The cat who accompanied her late at night seemed to be an illusion conceived by her, but she knew it was not the case.

Cats are such free-wheeling creatures, so humans who are favored by them will be flattered, and even feel that they are the chosen ones for cats.

She was the chosen one for one night, and now she is back to being an ordinary person.

A'Du knew that it was time for her to get up, but she glanced in the mirror, paused for a moment, then lay back silently, pulling the quilt over her head.

... She can't see people in her current appearance.

She fell asleep after crying yesterday, and when she woke up today, she found that she couldn't hide the fact that she cried all night yesterday.

dry.

A'Du was lying on the bed, thinking very seriously, should she continue to pretend to be asleep, or continue to pretend to be asleep.

But if she keeps leaving the room, it is tantamount to telling others that she can't see them now.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and lifted the quilt——

Sunlight pierced through the rolled-up imperial curtains, and the vast mansion was empty, except for Asagi who was instructing the paper man to clean the corridor, there was no one else in the huge space.

The stock was sleeping on its exclusive futon, with its chin resting on its folded front paws. When it heard the sound of footsteps, it opened its eyes slightly and looked at her very calmly.

"Master Ye Wang has gone out." Ma Nu told her very intimately.

A'Du breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little grateful, but also a little inexplicably disappointed.

"Can I help clean up?"

After saying this sentence, Ma Nu turned pale with shock.

"How can that be done!" The shikigami who forgot to use honorifics almost floated up, and almost forgot to maintain a human walking posture.

Ma Nu pushed her to the hall. Today's breakfast was much richer than usual. In addition to stewed vegetables, rice soup, sweetfish from Guichuan, there were dishes made of wild ducks.

A'Du hasn't eaten meat for a long time, although it's just the simplest method, sprinkle with salt and roast slowly over a low fire, the ordinary duck tastes unbelievably delicious, it seems that not only the stomach, but even the heart is warm Woke up.

During the meal, Ma Nu kept a straight face and chattered around her very seriously.

What "Miss A'Du absolutely can't help with cleaning." "That's Shikigami's job." "Master Ye Wang will be angry." Finally became "Could it be that Ma Nu is not doing well enough?"

Hearing Ma Nu's nagging started to slide in a bad direction, she hurriedly interrupted the other party.

"Today's meal is very delicious."

Ma Nu: "...Of course."

Shikigami's figure seemed to swell a bit: "Today is my own cooking."

"...Thank you, Ma Nu."

After eating, A'Du put down his chopsticks.When asked the next words, she was very serious.

"But what should I do?"

It's not relative, she can't live and eat in other people's house all the time.Even if it is a close family member, the child should go out on his own after graduating from college.

Ma Nu seemed to be stuck, which seemed to touch a blind spot in her knowledge.

"This..." Ma Nu faltered and looked left and right, but the paper figurines couldn't help, and blank faces looked at her blankly.

In the end, she lowered her head and whispered, "Miss A'Du has been staying...won't it be good to stay here?"

A'Du couldn't help laughing, and his mood became less heavy.

"I can't live here forever."

"Why not?" Ma Nu's face was full of puzzlement.

Although the shikigami of King Makang Ye is very similar to humans, there are still subtle differences compared with real humans.

If we want to say that human beings are different from other creatures on the earth, it must include the complex human society, as well as the so-called language, culture, human relationship, and many invisible rules.

"Why not?" Ma Nu moved closer.

The gentle and steady shikigami she saw when she first came to Makura Yewang's mansion, now seems to have finally revealed her true face with a strong thirst for knowledge.

"why not--"

"Because you can't do it, you can't do it." A'Du raised his hand, pushed away Ma Nu's soft cheek, paused, and added, "I'm a guest, and the guest's stay time is limited."

Ma Nu: "But Master Ye Wang is very gentle."

She found that the Shikigami of King Ma Cangye really liked him, and his tone was full of reverence and love for the Creator.

A'Du: "It's not a question of being gentle or not."

"Is it the guest's problem?" Ma Nu is not dull, on the contrary, her mind is spinning quickly, "Then it's fine if Miss A'Du is not a guest?"

Now it was A'Du's turn to get stuck.

"...It's not that simple."

"Shikigami won't change." Asagi suddenly said seriously, "But human beings are different."

She cheerfully added: "So, Miss A'Du can not be a guest."

Asagi raised her head proudly, with an expression of "I'm so smart".If she was a canine shikigami, the tail behind her would probably have been wagging, beating the ground bang bang bang.

"..."

Because the other party was so cute, she didn't have the nerve to refute Ma Nu's words.

It was sunset when King Ma Cang Ye came back.

Gu Zong, who had slept on the futon all day, stood up and stretched forward. Before the bullock cart stopped at the door, it had already run over with small steps, and its tail was at the moment when it saw King Ma Cang Ye. Stand up like a flagpole.

Ma Cang Ye Wang talked with Gu Zong for a while.

From A'Du's point of view, he seemed to have said something to the stock sect, he listened patiently for a while, and then added a few words in a low voice.The picture of one person and one cat staying together looks very harmonious in the sunset.

Then, without warning, Ma Cang Ye Wang looked at her with the cat in his arms.

For a moment, A'Du almost thought that her eyes were still swollen, and he discovered the embarrassing fact of crying for a long time last night, but now when she actually saw King Ma Cang Ye, she suddenly felt that it was actually no big deal of.

Presumably he would not laugh at other people's weak temper.

"When I picked up the stocks," King Ma Cang Ye, who was leaning against the eaves watching the sunset, told her, "it fell seriously ill."

Today's topic is cats?

...that would be wonderful.

Gu Zong squinted his eyes and lay in Macang Ye Wang's arms, with his pointed ears turned back to the sides so that Ye Wang's hand could stroke its head.

"It was abandoned by its mother and the rest of its siblings died as well."

Her throat vibrated slightly, and she made a soft snoring sound - after she was tired from crying last night, she fell asleep with this sound on her pillow.

Ma Cangye Wang touched the cat, and didn't seem to want any response from her.He admired the sunset glow in the sky for a while, then slowly retracted his gaze, and when he said the next words, the expression on his face was still calm and gentle:

"Do you want to learn onmyoji?"

A'Du almost thought he had misheard.

"……what?"

King Ma Cang Ye bent the corners of his lips, and repeated patiently: "A'Du, do you want to learn Yin Yang?"

The chirping of insects in the evening is louder than in the daytime, perhaps because people's hearing becomes more acute when the light is dim.

Amidst the magnified sound of insects, she thought of the ghost she met on the first night in Heianjing, the weird fire in the palace, and the temple's main street that was closed at night.

This Heian era was different from what she had imagined. Hyakki nocturnal walk was not a legend, but a dangerous era in which demons and ghosts coexisted with human beings.

If she can learn yin and yang, it will at least give her the ability to protect herself in this era.

To be self-reliant, being able to protect yourself is the first step.

She replied without hesitation:

"Yes, I want to learn."

The family crest of Ma Cang's family is a five-pointed star. She later learned that the five-pointed star is a bit impolite. This seemingly ordinary five-pointed star actually symbolizes the five elements in the theory of Yin and Yang that encompass everything in the world.

This five-pointed star should actually be called a five-pointed star, which represents the mutual generation and restraint of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the five elements of yin and yang.

As the head of the family, King Asakura Leaf lives alone in the mansion of Sakyo Sanjo. The mansion of the main family is elsewhere. That mansion is wider than the mansion of King Asakura Leaf. There are onmyoji disciples trained by the Ma Cang family.

Because the mansion is very large, the distance is a little longer, but it is within a day's round-trip distance by bullock cart.

This is the first time for A'Du to come to Ma Cang's family's main residence. The good news is that Gu Zong finally doesn't have to stay at home this time. From getting on the car to getting off the car, he has been hugged by Ma Cang Ye Wang very contentedly.

Several onmyojis were waiting at the door early. Everyone was wearing black hats and hunting clothes with sleeves that were so long that they almost fell to the ground. The back of the hunting clothes was embroidered with the pentagram symbolizing the Ma Cang family.

A'Du followed Ma Cang Ye Wang, walked through a long corridor, and suddenly saw a bright light, the early morning sun was shining on the vast open space, this seemed to be the place where onmyojis trained, there were obviously more figures in hunting clothes, and there were more people in the air. All kinds of spiritual power surged.

When King Ma Cang Ye appeared, those people suddenly became quiet, the trainers stopped training, the supervisors stopped monitoring, the vast space could hear needles dropping, only the soft rustling of clothes when everyone bent down to salute.

That feeling was different from when she was in the palace. Apart from awe, there seemed to be a little more in the silent atmosphere... as if seeing the worship of a god.

A'Du looked at the stock sect in Ye Wang's arms.

This is probably the difference between cats and humans.

Even gods can't refuse cute kittens.

"You don't have to follow all the time." King Ma Cang Ye suddenly stopped slightly.These words were spoken to the onmyojis who were following them.

The few people looked at each other, seeming to glance at her cautiously out of the corner of their eyes, responded in a low voice, turned and left.

A'Du breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, being followed by several people who could be her elders in age, she was really under a lot of psychological pressure.

"Where are we going?" she asked curiously.

Ma Cang Ye Wang: "Go to the next training ground, there are people who are suitable to teach you."

The person who is suitable to teach her looks more like a martial attendant than an onmyoji.That man was holding a Taidao. When the two arrived at the training ground, he was sitting on the steps wiping the knife. When he saw someone coming, he stood up quickly, and the Taidao in his hand clanged and fell into its sheath.

A'Du felt that she had realized it - the opponent should be the legendary melee mage.

The kind that physically supersedes demons and ghosts with a knife.

The martial attendant saluted King Ma Cang Ye first, and then looked at her.

Her heart tightened, and she felt as if she was at the interview site. When she realized it, she subconsciously stretched out her hand, and opened her mouth and said:

"Hello, my surname is Shen, and my single name is Du. I don't know how to call you..."

Before she could say the last word "you", Ma Cang Ye Wang who was next to her suddenly interrupted her self-introduction.

"This is Asakura Yeping." He said with a smile.

"..."

...Does everyone in your Asakura family have the format of Asakura leaf 〇?

The person on the opposite side lowered their eyes slightly, and their eyes fell on her outstretched hand that stopped in mid-air.

At this time, she suddenly remembered that shaking hands is a familiar etiquette for modern people.

"..."

Under the gaze of the two Asakura leaves, she paused for a moment.

Then silently, he took his hand back.
