[Shaman King] He has a cat

In late July, the weather suddenly became hot.

If the previous sweltering heat and humidity were bearable, the capital city, which had not rained for many days, was now as if it had been scorched by fire. At noon, the streets were deserted, with only the billowing heat waves rising from the ground.

The noise of the cicadas grew louder.

The meowing of the cat, which seemed to suppress the cicadas, gradually became sharper and fiercer.

A'Du was a little worried about Gu Zong's voice.

Gu Zong is the most serious cat she has ever seen. He usually doesn't bark very much, and he rarely blows his hair, but now his front paws are resting on the sash window of the bullock cart, and the hairs all over his body are standing on end. fierce.

King Ma Cang Ye glanced out the window.

"...Don't worry, those are just Gods of God."

The ghosts and gods with weapons guarded the door, their huge bodies did not leave any shadow on the street floor.

A'Du withdrew his gaze: "The God of Imperial Spirit?"

There are all kinds of spirits in this world, among which are spirits that turn into creatures after death, spirits that arise from natural phenomena, spirits that are born from the thoughts and negative emotions of living people, and the shikigami of onmyojis belong to the category of spirits. One of the more special category.

Onmyoji can subdue existing spirits as their own shikigami, or use their own spiritual power to create shikigami. The former ghost and the latter ghost who serve King Ma Cangye belong to the former, while Ma Nu is created by him with his own spiritual power. Shikigami who came out.

All kinds of spirits are miscellaneous, and the boundaries are not so clear-cut. For example, the so-called "ghost". Negative thoughts born.

There is also a more general term for "ghost", which generally refers to all existences that are spirits but can affect reality.

If this definition is used, then the shikigami of Onmyoji can also be counted as a kind of "ghost".

"The god of the imperial spirit is a ghost and god assigned to the gate of ghosts to protect Heianjing." King Ma Cangye touched the head of Gu Zong, "Because the spirit is used to control the spirit, the ceremony of summoning the god of the imperial spirit is called the imperial spirit meeting. The word Yuling□□ also comes from this.”

Gu Zong fell silent, lying on Ma Cang Ye Wang's lap, raised his head and looked at him.

"One day, you too will become a spirit."

That summer, the cicadas in the shade of the trees neighed endlessly, and the only sound that could be heard was the rolling of wheels on the hot and empty streets.

A'Du was sitting in the slightly shaking bullock cart, the scorching sun shone in through the gap in the imperial curtain.

Gu Zong's tail stopped swinging at some point, and stopped slightly in mid-air.

"If we can still be together at that time," King Ma Cang Ye lowered his eyelids lightly, "I hope you can become the god of imperial spirit and protect me all the time."

The Great Onmyoji took out a necklace from his sleeve. There were three pure black bear claws hanging on the necklace. He tied the necklace around the neck of Gu Zong, and patiently tied a knot that would not be easily loosened.

"You can wear this medium on your body." Ma Cang Ye Wang said warmly.

"In this way, your spirit will have my witch power in the future, and you will be able to survive in a semi-permanent spirit state."

He smiled slightly and added:

"As long as my witch power exists, you will not disappear."

——On that day, Gu Zong became the most handsome kitty in Heian-kyo.

After returning to the mansion, the cat's tail was raised high and never let go. It ran to the pond in the courtyard with small steps all the way, admiring its own reflection in the pond seriously.

Ku Zong is not only a smart kitten, but also a kitten with self-awareness. It clearly understands that the cat reflected in the pool is itself.

Gu Zong admired the necklace on his neck, because the cat squatting by the pool was so cute, A'Du was addicted to sucking cats remotely, and almost missed work and was late in the first month of work.

Yes, she is the one who started working now, although she is only a trainee onmyoji for the time being.

An intern onmyoji doesn't have much salary, but as long as she becomes a regular, she will be paid in the future!

Yes, salary, salary.

Thinking of this, even if she had to go out to work on a hot day, she felt full of energy, and now she could start physically fighting ghosts.

As the weather got hotter, the people on the street became less and less, and there seemed to be more ghosts and ghosts in Heianjing, and they also started to come out to wander during the day.

A'Du's missions are relatively simple, even if he encounters some ghosts, if he can't solve it with one knife, he just needs to slash a few more times.

She doesn't summon shikigami, doesn't set up barriers, and doesn't use spells to attack. The ghosts in Heianjing may have a deep impression on her. Today's thin ghosts turned around and ran away when they saw her. A light ghost flew very fast. In the blink of an eye, he passed the nearly dry Kamo River and came to the low-lying area in the far east of the capital.

That was the first time she had run so far.

A'Du chased after the ghost, the surrounding scenery gradually became desolate, weeds and reeds grew wildly together, and there was a sour and fermented smell in the hot air, she couldn't help but slow down, and finally stopped completely.

The dilapidated houses were covered by the yellow weeds, and the surroundings were quiet, only the summer insects were neighing hoarsely in the grass.

She quickly discovered the source of the stench.

The naked people were lying or sitting, leaning against the house that was about to collapse at any time, their heads hanging like withered plants. Those people didn't respond to her appearance, and they were so depressed that they were almost indifferent.

She wasn't sure if there was anyone alive in the room, the dead silence that surrounded her made the air even more stuffy, with an indescribably suffocating feeling.

There was a slight sound from behind, and A'Du turned around, and several ragged men with weapons appeared from the shadow behind the house, and slowly surrounded her.

"The things on her are very valuable." A man said in a low voice.

Another added: "She's worth a lot too."

A'Du put his hand on the handle of the knife, and was about to draw it, when the person who had just spoken was lifted into the air, and the weapon in his hand clanged, and fell to the ground like a child's toy.

"...Ghost...Ghost!!"

The man screamed in the air, and his companions were so frightened that they fell to the ground. After recovering, those people fled in all directions, and soon disappeared.

...running very simply.

She raised her face, the cyan rear ghost let go of the man's collar, the screams suddenly stopped, the man fell back to the ground, turned over like a grasshopper, tremblingly dragging his broken leg, towards his companion Climb in the direction you left.

"This is not where you should be."

A calm voice came, Ma Cang Ye Wang stood in the middle of the road, the red front ghost was holding a huge axe, and in the other hand was holding a slender ghost figure, which was the one she was chasing before.

The dark and slender ghost struggled a few times, and with a puff, it made the sound of a bug exploding, and was wiped out in the hands of the former ghost.

She let go of her hand on the handle of the knife: "...Because it's dangerous?"

But onmyoji is inherently a dangerous job, the first line of defense between this world and the afterlife.If she was afraid of danger, she should not have chosen this profession in the first place.

King Ma Cang Ye raised his eyes.

"Compared to ghosts, sometimes humans are more dangerous."

There is no wind on the banks of the Kamogawa River, and the hot air is only filled with the sound of insects, and the lingering sour smell is fermenting in the spreading dead silence, like meat that has rotted for many days.

After standing still for a moment, the Great Onmyoji turned around.

"It's time to go back."

A'Du was stunned for a moment, then followed the figure of King Ma Cang Ye.

"What's the matter with you here today?"

The tall figure in the hunting suit slowed down.

"There is a severe drought around the capital, and the east of He Maochuan is where the refugees gather." Ma Cang Yewang said slightly, "You can't come here alone next time."

He seemed to answer her words, but he didn't seem to answer her words.

She wanted to thank her very much, but somehow felt that she couldn't open her mouth at this time.

A'Du thought for a moment, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, as if he understood something at that moment: "The number of ghosts in the capital has increased recently, is it also because of the drought?"

"exactly."

"That……"

King Ma Cang Ye said concisely: "Follow me."

She didn't know where Ma Cang Ye Wang was going to take her, but she always felt that if she didn't agree immediately, the other party would regret it, so she hurried to Ma Cang Ye Wang's side.

The scorched weeds brushed past his sleeves, and before leaving, A'Du turned his head like a ghost, and glanced in the direction he came from——

In the bright sunlight, a tattered straw mat was covered under the shadow of the eaves, and a blowfly flew around a few times, slowly crawling onto the skinny ankle.

... That picture was imprinted on her retina, so vivid that it almost remained in her mind cruelly. It was not until the ox cart drove into the streets of the capital that she suddenly regained consciousness.

King Ma Cang Ye had a job, and after returning to the capital, the two of them did not go straight to the palace, but stopped in front of a strange mansion.

A'Du followed King Ma Cang Ye, melodious music came from the direction of the courtyard, a gorgeous and exquisite stage was set up in the open space, and several dancers in floor-length robes, masks and golden crowns, holding mountain blowing flower branches stepped on the stage. Dance slowly to the beat of the drum.

They may not have come at the right time. The nobles and ministers gathered in the courtyard were holding a banquet, and the sound of talking and laughing suddenly stopped, and the guests present looked over in neat movements like dolls.

The old man sitting in the upper seat squinted his eyes, he looked somewhat similar to Fujiwara Yoshiki, he should be the owner of this mansion.

"Oh, isn't this Ma Cang Yewang?"

It was the first time she heard someone call King Ma Cang Ye by his first name, and she couldn't help being surprised for a moment.

The surroundings were so quiet that a needle could be heard, and countless pairs of eyes fell on the great onmyoji standing in front of her.

"Please forgive my impoliteness for visiting, Mr. Fujiwara."

A'Du blinked.

The name seems familiar.

Then, Ma Nu's voice sounded in the memory.

The daughter of the Fujiwara family was the concubine of the previous emperor, and this concubine gave birth to the crown prince, who is now His Majesty the emperor.The Fujiwara family is now not only the patriarch of the Fujiwara family, but also the grandfather of the puppet emperor, and also holds the post of regent in the court. It is no exaggeration to describe it as overwhelming with power.

"Let's get straight to the point." The Fujiwara family said with a smile that was not a smile, "You came here suddenly today, but because of the drought in the surrounding areas of the capital?"

"Exactly."

Although it has not yet reached the point where there are thousands of miles of red land, the refugees who continue to flock to the capital and the number of "ghosts" are gradually increasing, all of which indicate the seriousness of this year's drought.

"But, protecting the capital is the job of an onmyoji, isn't it?"

Among the guests, someone seemed to have a short laugh.

Fujiwara Yakene glanced in that direction, the laughter disappeared immediately, the air became heavy, and the dancers on the stage retreated at some point, leaving only the branches that decorated the stage standing bare on the spot.

The Fujiwara family said casually: "The imperial court supports you Onmyojis just to be useful at such times."

"You're right." Ma Cang Yewang's voice was flat, "It's our onmyoji's duty to protect this safe capital."

"So……"

"but--"

He straightened up, the long, wide sleeves of his sari hanging down to his side.

"Onmyoji can only exorcise ghosts. When ghosts appear, they can be purified and eliminated with mantras."

"Ghosts are creatures that come from the human heart." King Ma Cang Ye said with a smile, "But we, the Onmyoji, cannot prevent the birth of ghosts."

"It is the job of the imperial court to control the drought and appease people's hearts."

"..." Fujiwara Yakane's expression seemed to tremble slightly, like angry ripples on the surface of the water, but he quickly hid that emotional fluctuation tightly.

"I haven't seen the ghost you've been talking about." He said slowly.

"Among the people here, no one has ever seen the so-called ghost in your mouth."

As if he couldn't hold back, King Ma Cang Ye chuckled lightly.

"So, do you want to see it?"

The magnificent Onmyoji is still calm and elegant even when the imperial court loses his dignity.

He glanced sideways slightly, looking at the nobles and ministers who were huddled together.

"Do you want to see it?"

King Ma Cang Ye said in a gentle tone:

"What does a ghost born from the human heart look like?"

……

Not surprisingly, they were invited out.

The door slammed shut in front of her eyes, and after regaining her freedom, she immediately stretched out her hand and made an impolite gesture to the people in the mansion.

"What are you doing?"

A'Du turned his head, and after leaving the mansion, Ma Cang Ye Wang looked much better, the smile on his face was no longer cold and sharp, and he even had time to care about her inexplicable behavior.

"I'm..." she racked her brains, "expressing feelings."

"What kind of feelings?"

A'Du was silent for a moment, and chose to be honest: "... contempt."

"You are so courageous, aren't you afraid of losing your head?"

"As long as you don't tell it, I can be bolder."

Ma Cang Ye Wang was noncommittal: "You hate him so much."

"Are you kidding me?" She opened her eyes wide, "That Fujiwara family, obviously trying to embarrass you just now?"

She is not blind.

The setting sun fell on the street, spreading red light and shadow.The ox cart with the imperial curtain hanging down was parked not far away.The broad figure in the hunting clothes slowly stopped.

"You mean, will you be on my side?"

Yu Hui elongated the shadow, and the person who stopped in front turned his head slightly.

A'Du gave King Ma Cang Ye a little strangely: "Isn't that natural?"

"If I don't stand on your side, who else can I stand on?"

The author has something to say:

The Fujiwara family = the historical Fujiwara family.

The remake animation finally came to the plot where Ye Wang appeared, I was so touched.
