[Shaman King] He has a cat

She knew very well that she was dreaming.

The sun in the dream was dazzling. She was standing on the river beach east of Kamogawa River. Yellow weeds sprouted from the cracked ground. The hot air twisted like a snake, and the hoarse insects disappeared at some point.

The world is silent, without a trace of cool wind blowing over the shadow of the eaves, the dilapidated straw mats cover the skinny figure, and the edge of the straw is slightly lifted by the wind, revealing the shriveled hands and feet underneath, as well as the flat and sunken body. head.

A fly flew over and landed near the bloodshot white of the eye.

The scene in the dream was extremely clear, the sticky eyelashes were distinct, the fly crawled onto the frozen eyeball, and the muddy pupil reflected the approaching fly——

The sky is still bright.

She has given up the habit of looking for her mobile phone first thing when she wakes up, and now listening to the silence of dawn outside the window, she suddenly feels that there is nothing wrong with a noisy alarm.

Whether it is a commoner or a noble, the day of the Heian period begins with the sunrise.The sun broke through the morning fog, and the already muggy air quickly heated up, even the gravel on the ground became hot.

In the past few days, the cat has become more and more lazy, and the cat's cooling methods are very limited. Recently, it stretches its feet and lies on the futon every day, and no longer sleeps in a circle.

After working overtime for a period of time, A'Du recently took some time off. The ghosts and goblins in the capital seemed to disappear overnight, and even her intern, an onmyoji, was temporarily on vacation.

When she walked into the study room, there were talisman papers that were ignited without wind floating around the style plate, and the celestial plate engraved with 28 constellations on the outer circle was driven by an unknown force and slowly rotated in the center of the square.

"...King Ye?"

The spinning disk seemed to pause for a moment.Immediately afterwards, the talisman paper in the air suddenly went out and fell.

The great onmyoji standing in front of the style plate looked up at her.

... She must have interrupted some important ceremony.

Yin-Yang Dao is easy to get started, but becomes more difficult as you learn it.She has already discovered that she has no talent for divination, and the use of spells and the arrangement of barriers are also ordinary. She can only use spiritual power to strengthen her body like a fish in water, and she soon escaped from Asakang Yeping's trap. range of guidance.

Although she wasn't very good at divination, the timing of her entry just now was obviously not right, otherwise the other party wouldn't have suddenly shown such a bewildered expression.

A'Du hesitated: "...Sorry, should I come back later?"

"No, it's just ordinary divination." King Ma Cang Ye flicked the talisman paper on the table like dust, "and I already know the result."

The look on his face returned to normal, and he asked, "What happened?"

After a moment of silence, A'Du raised his eyes: "I plan to go again."

She could probably figure out why she had that strange dream.

Seeing the corpse for the first time may have left a certain psychological shadow on her, and the human brain is such a thing, the more you don't let it think about something, the more it will think about something.

What is covered under that straw mat, the unknown itself is not scary, but people's imagination can distort reality, and sometimes even create illusions that are more terrifying than the facts.

She wanted to confirm it with her own eyes before her imagination got out of control, so as to dispel her wild thoughts.

King Ma Cang Ye had advised her not to approach the east side of He Maochuan, she didn't want to sneak out, so after thinking about it, she decided to say hello to him first.

She opened her mouth, still haven't figured out how to explain where she was going, why she did this—

"I understand."

King Ma Cang Ye: "I happen to have time now, I can go with you."

"...Really?" After regaining consciousness, A'Du realized that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, I mean, it would be great if you were actually free right now."

The sun was scorching hot, and the blazing sun hung high in the sky. When the two came to the riverside east of Kamo River, the surrounding scenery was no different from the previous few days.

As far as the eye can see, there are large areas of withered yellow, withered weeds covering dilapidated houses, the ground seems to be cracked more severely, the soil without any moisture is as brittle as dust when pinched, and the sultry air is filled with the smell of corruption.

After several days of fermentation, the rotten sour smell became particularly pungent, and the flies flying nearby refused to leave. She squatted down in the shadow of the eaves and pinched a corner of the straw mat with her fingers.

Even the sound of the wind is like a dead river, only the hoarse insects echoing up and down.

A'Du flipped over the straw mat, bowed his head in silence for a long time, then put the straw mat back on again.

Unlike monks, onmyojis don't know how to chant scriptures to save the souls of the dead, but things like burying the dead can still be done.

She piled up a few stones clumsily, not knowing whether she was doing it right, whether there was any special attention to the number of stones, and she couldn't find any wild flowers as decorations in the withered season.

But when the last handful of loess was covered, a corner of her heart suddenly settled down.

Ma Cang Ye Wang stood not far away and waited for her. In the background was a large expanse of reeds and withered grass that seemed to be spreading towards the end of the earth.

She stood up and ran towards him.

"Is it okay?" Ma Cang Ye Wang asked her with his head down.

"Okay."

A'Du smiled at him and said, "I will definitely not have any more nightmares tonight."

She took a few steps forward, and suddenly remembered something.

"What were you divination before?" A'Du asked curiously, "May I know?"

"You must have noticed that the ghosts in the capital have become more peaceful recently."

A lot of security is a very euphemistic description.

"It's not good news."

"...Is it like the sea that ebbs suddenly before a tsunami?"

King Ma Cang Ye hummed.

"The resentment will explode when it accumulates to a certain level." The Great Onmyoji said in a flat tone, "Whether it is a human being or a ghost, there is a limit to the tolerance of the status quo."

His voice paused slightly, he glanced at her, smiled and said:

"Sorry, but your sabbatical may be coming to an end."

Onmyojis serving the imperial court are in charge of astronomy, calendar, engraving, and divination. The onmyojis used by the imperial court are basically either from the Asakang family or the Yumo family. Onmyojis of different sects are easy to identify. Can.

The burning bonfire lit up the deep night. The current head of the Yumao family is a man in his 30s. Adu and the onmyojis of the Ma Cang family stayed together. Stick to the ghost gate in the northeast corner of Ping'an Jingjing to resist the attacks of demons and ghosts.

Dark clouds covered the moon, and the ten-foot-wide street was empty. Mount Hiei in the distance was hidden in the darkness, and the air was hot and tense. Although the two Onmyojis stayed in the same space, there seemed to be a clear line between them.

Before going out, Ma Nu specially talked to her about science. The Yumao family is a family of onmyojis with a long history. Before the rise of the Ma Cang family, the Yumao family had always firmly controlled the most important position in the Onmyoji.

The name Ma Cang Ye Wang was bestowed by the previous emperor, and the Ma Cang family was also founded by Ma Cang Ye Wang. The previous head of the Yu Mao family, Yu Mao Zhonggu, was not only the Yin Yang head of Yinyang Liao before his death, but was also Ma Cang Ye Wang at that time. But now it is Ma Cang's family that is more valued by the court, which makes many Yumao's onmyojis quite dissatisfied.

Although the two families have maintained a superficial friendship, there is a feeling of mutual dislike in private.

The current patriarch of Yu Mao's family is called Yu Mao Tadashi, and he asked Yu Mao's onmyoji to arrange the barrier, as if he had taken over the on-site command.

The two onmyojis are basically all together, except King Ma Cangye, who is responsible for guarding the palace alone.

"Are you alone?" She turned to look at Asakura Yeping.

Asakura Yeping glanced at her, and continued to wipe the knife in his hand expressionlessly.

So A'Du also turned his head back blankly.

Whether it's from the Asakura family or the Yu Mao family, she is not very familiar with the onmyojis here. When Yu Mao Tadashi ordered everyone to summon shikigami, only she and Asakura Yeping stood up expressionlessly.

Then he drew the knife in his hand.

Standing among all kinds of shikigami, it seems very out of place.

"Here we come!" Yu Mao Zhongzhi snorted.

East Qinglong, West White Tiger, South Suzaku, and North Xuanwu—the four gods guard the four corners of the capital, and the northeast direction with the most yin energy is the ghost gate for ghosts to enter and exit.

The temperature of the surrounding air dropped sharply, and ordinary people could feel the vibration under their feet even if they couldn't see the ghost formed by the resentment.

The barrier opened, and the shikigami manipulated by the onmyoji rushed out. The first ghost to appear was in the form of a giant snake, with a huge mouth, and instantly swallowed the shikigami who rushed to the front.

The gloomy snake scales were extremely hard, and the dense spells fell like raindrops, without even splashing blood. The giant snake swallowed several weak shikigami one after another, its body swelled, and it opened its fangs towards the barrier. The Onmyoji behind rushed over.

There was a blunt sound, dust flew up, and subtle cracks appeared in the enchantment. More ghosts appeared behind the giant snake, some as thick as a cow, or as thin as a bamboo shadow, dragging their strangely long arms and rushing towards this side.

These ghosts are relatively easy to destroy, but the difficulty lies in the quantity. The spells that exploded at once dazzled the eyes, and the shikigami focused on attacking the giant snake with thick blood and high defense.

With a click, a crack appeared in the barrier again. Tadashi Yumo made a seal, and the crack in the barrier was repaired as before. Seeing this, the giant snake raised its head, opened its bloody mouth in a strange arc, and opened it from both sides. The split mouth can almost enclose the entire barrier, swallowing the Onmyoji inside together.

The moment the sharp fangs touched the edge of the barrier, A'Du stepped on the wall, kicked with his strength, and with all his strength, turned around and slashed at the back of the giant snake's neck.

With a sound of "swoosh", as if an off-string arrow hit the bull's-eye, the cloth was torn in half, the blade cut into the scales, submerged in the smelly and sticky flesh, separated the bones connecting the body and cervical spine, and brought out hot blood splattered everywhere.

The huge snake head fell from the air with the rain of blood, and was still twitching and struggling when it fell to the ground. "...Is it over?" A suspicious voice came from the Onmyoji, but then the ground shook again, this time even more violently than before, as if it was going to turn the world upside down.

Dark clouds shook the night sky, moonlight fell, and a snake-shaped monster broke out from the ground of Suzaku Avenue. Its huge body was higher than the five-storied pagoda. The twisted shadow separated from the body, and several heads with blood-red eyes separated out.

The route of the giant snake passed straight in the direction of the imperial palace. The onmyoji in the enchantment came back to his senses, and the dense ghosts rushed over again. Just as he was about to raise his hand and chant a spell, a figure flashed past in the corner of his eye, and he reacted At that time, he was already running towards the palace.

Night Breeze rolled up the wide sleeves of the hunting clothes, and she cut open the oncoming ghost, concentrated her spiritual power on her legs, kicked her feet suddenly, and after a short moment of weightlessness, she landed on the high palace gate.

The earth was trembling, and the tiles of the palace trembled like human teeth.

She jumped from the roof of this palace to the roof of another palace, and soon found the figure of King Ma Cangye, the big onmyoji in fluttering hunting clothes standing in the open space in front of Zichen Hall, and the surrounding ground lit up with pentagrams Even though the sky and the earth seemed to be shaking upside down, only the barrier above the palace remained motionless.

A'Du regained his composure and jumped off the high roof.

She realized that she might have made the trip for nothing, but she came all the time.

"...What is that?" She looked towards the direction outside Suzaku's door, "Is it Yamata no Orochi?"

King Ma Cang Ye: "No, it's just an imitation."

The rumbling noise was approaching. From this angle, the giant snake with several heads was so huge that it almost covered the night sky behind it.

"A'Du."

Ma Cang Yewang's voice paused slightly: "Why are you here?"

"..."

She didn't quite know what she was thinking at the time.

——"If we can still be together by then..."

On a summer day where cicadas sing continuously, in a gently shaking ox cart, a tabby cat looks curiously at the medium hanging around its neck.

The Great Onmyouji who guarded Heian-kyo lowered his eyelids and spoke softly.

——"I hope you can become the god of imperial spirits and protect me all the time."
