[Shaman King] He has a cat

According to the forecast, it looks like it will snow today.

This weather forecast comes from Ma Cang Ye Wang himself. The onmyoji in the Heian period was not only responsible for divination, but also for forecasting the weather. It has to be said that he was very versatile.

At the end of the year, everyone in Yinyangliao began to work overtime to prepare for the festival of the first month, the most important part of which was the production of the new calendar.

The calendar of this era is a very precious thing, only the nobles can have it.At the beginning of the new year, Yinyangliao will present two kinds of calendars to His Majesty the Emperor. One is called "Fu Zhu Li", which explains the good and bad fortune of the daily divination results, and the other describes the sun, moon, and five calendars. The celestial positions of planets are called "Seven Lunar Calendar".

In the past, the doctor of astronomy in Yinyang Liao was in charge of dedicating the calendar, but since King Ma Cangye's attainments in all aspects are unmatched, it has now become his job.

The first month is the most important month, and there are various festivals every year.

The whole Yinyang Liao was working overtime, but unfortunately, she, who was only good at exorcising ghosts physically, was of no use.

A'Du went to the Yin-Yang House a few times, but her colleagues disliked her for taking up too much space, and there were handymen who were in charge of moving documents and books to help, so she had to go back to the mansion in despair.

Then Ma Nu also encountered an iron wall.

"Miss A'Du can't help with the cleaning." Ma Nu was very serious, and the surrounding paper figurines also stopped their movements and looked at her with blank faces accusingly.

A'Du gave up.

Only Gu Zong is her only warmth and support.

As the weather turns colder, so does the relationship between humans and cats.

A'Du has already admitted the fact that she is a waste in the first month, and after she doesn't need to go to work at Yinyang Liao to clock in, it is rare for her to sleep late.

Maybe because King Ma Cang Ye always entered the palace before dawn, and the bedroom was too cold after the residual temperature had dissipated, recently Gu Zong started to go to her room to catch up on sleep.

Once, she fell into a drowsy sleep, feeling heavy in her chest, and wondered which ghost was so daring to play ghost press in the mansion of King Ma Cang Ye.

Then she opened her eyes and saw the ball-shaped thigh sleeping on top of her.

A'Du was shocked immediately and woke up.

...Mom, she celebrates the New Year ahead of schedule.

This good news has to be shared with others. She got up with a fist in her arms, and subconsciously shouted:

"King Ye!!"

After shouting, she remembered that the other party had gone to work and was not here now.

A'Du waited left and right in the mansion until it was dark, and finally waited until the ox cart with the imperial curtains creaked and stopped outside the mansion.

She immediately ran out the door.

The Great Onmyoji had already heard her voice, but he still asked cooperatively, "What's wrong?"

A'Du picked up Gu Zong who was following, the tawny tabby cat didn't resist much, and flicked its tail lightly.

"……nothing."

She couldn't happily tell the other party that Stock Zong was willing to sleep with her.Some words are okay when you think about them in your heart, but if you really want to say them, you always feel a little strange.

A'Du hugged the stock sect and coughed lightly: "I just want to come out to greet you."

She smiled: "Welcome back."

Tiny snowdrops fall from the sky, pure white like the flying catkins of reeds by the river.

Ma Cang Ye Wang's divination is really accurate.

--Snowing.

The melting snow left a cool touch, she raised her head subconsciously, and looked at the quiet and soft sky.

In the twilight, the lights under the eaves of the verandah are like water, and the white snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger, as if they are flying towards the light on the ground.

"Look quickly." She reminded him to look up, "It's the first snow this year."

The two stood outside the house with a cat, and then Ma Nu also ran out.

What is the difference between the snow in the Heian era and the modern age, A'Du can't quite tell.

Maybe it's the same everywhere, maybe it's not the same everywhere.

But she just wanted to say with emotion:

Wow, it's snowing.

After the streets of the capital were covered with snow, the atmosphere of the first month became more intense.

On the first day of the first lunar month, ceremonies and congratulations are held to worship the four directions of heaven and earth.

On the second day, a New Year's Day banquet was held in the palace.

On the third day, a ceremony was held to pray for the longevity of His Majesty the Emperor, offering offerings such as Kagami mochi, radish, melon, muskmelon, wild boar, and venison.

On the fourth day, the Taizheng minister arranged a banquet.

"Do you want to go?" Ma Cang Ye Wang asked her.

A'Du was very surprised: "It's such a grand banquet, so it doesn't matter if I go?"

Generally speaking, the first month banquets arranged by the ministers of the Taizheng invited either the court officials, or the royal family such as princes, and the onmyojis were just ordinary officials from the top seven.

In terms of rank, it is a watershed from the bottom five. Only officials who have reached this rank are eligible to meet the emperor, and if they want to reach the status of a minister, they must climb up.

"Why not?" King Ma Cang Ye smiled and said, "If the heroes who guard Ping An Jing are not qualified, there is no reason for others to attend."

Because of the merit of slaying the snake, she was awarded the qualification to become an onmyoji.

But the onmyojis and martial attendants in this era have no status. Like King Ma Cangye, who broke the hereditary system and became a public official, there is no one before or after.

A'Du thought about it: "If I go, maybe I can irritate some people."

Especially those nobles who regarded themselves as noble.

more importantly--

"A lot of high-end snacks can be eaten at the banquet."

She was moved.

A'Du: "There is such a good thing, please take me with you."

Today's Taizheng Minister is the head of the Fujiwara family, the Fujiwara family, this person also serves as Guanbai and regent at the same time, and the private residence is more elegant and luxurious than the palace.

A'Du once went to the mansion of the Fujiwara family with Ma Cang Ye Wang, and it was just a quick glance at that time, but now sitting in the hall, he has the leisure to slowly look at the surrounding scenery.

There was light snow falling outside, and candles lit up the night. The guests were arranged in two rows according to their status. She sat at the outermost edge of the hall, while King Ma Cangye and other ministers were near the main seat.

The imperial curtains are rolled up, the scarlet silk ribbons are hanging down, water lamps are floating in the dark courtyard, a stage is set up in the direction of the Diao Temple, the sound of drums and the falling snowflakes, dancers with clothes dragging the ground wearing golden crowns stand in pairs Slowly spin and dance on the square stage.

A'Du is very clear about her position: she is here to eat and drink.

A total of nine dishes served in the vermilion vessel were arranged neatly in front of her, and the brown rice steamed in water was directly piled up into a hill, which is said to be the etiquette of hospitality in this era.

The hall was filled with buzzing sounds, and as the drinks were served, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Winter is the season for wine making. The new wine in the bowl is more fragrant and sweet than usual, and exudes a smoky smell after being heated.

All kinds of black hats and hem of clothes blocked the line of sight, and the shadows overlapped and swayed. A'Du caught the figure of King Ma Cangye from it. He was sitting with a group of Fujiwara family members. This kind of seating arrangement is really helpless. The most important positions are almost monopolized by the Fujiwara family.

As a great onmyoji personally promoted by the late emperor, Ma Cang Yewang broke this hereditary system, so his relationship with the Fujiwara family was naturally not very close.

But superficial work still needs to be done.

"It will be troublesome if you go, but it will be more troublesome if you don't go."

The person who told her this sentence is sitting far away on the other side of the crowd, and the people around her are also busy changing glasses, talking and laughing loudly. From time to time, there were a few loud laughs, and with a bang, they burst like bubbles on the noisy sea.

A'Du didn't know if there was a difference in the volume of such things as the voice of the heart.

She took a deep breath and shouted in her heart:

Look at me!

——Don't listen to those messy inner voices, look at me.

Among the crowd of overlapping shadows, the figure in hunting clothes seemed to pause suddenly.

Then, Ma Cang Ye Wang turned his head and looked at her at that moment.

"..."

The eyes of the two met across the hall.

Someone nearby was laughing, someone was complaining about household chores, and someone was talking in a low voice. All kinds of voices overlapped, blended, entangled, and entangled like dense threads, making it difficult to distinguish each other.

But just find the only thread that matters and give it a light tug.

The sea water drowned out all sounds, and the extremely lively hall fell into blank silence.

It seems that the broken radio finally found the correct channel, and the disorganized sound quality suddenly became clear——

A'Du lowered his head again, picked up a glass of wine in a pretentious manner, and at the same time thought in his heart:

... No, forget it, you better stop watching.

They were just looking at each other in a normal way, but for some reason, their hearts burned.

A'Du said silently in his heart: Don't look, turn your head back quickly.

Then he drank the wine in his hand.

After a while, the vision that fell on him finally disappeared.

"...Did something good happen?" Fujiwara Kakene narrowed his eyes.

King Ma Cang Ye smiled and said, "Not at all."

Halfway through the banquet, the snow was still falling, and the dancers on the stage changed a group. The snow flakes slanted by the wind chased the dancers' whirling clothes, and the air in the hall became hot. I don't know if the charcoal fire in the basin was too hot. The drink was still too warm.

Beside A'Du were two or three people lying on their stomachs, and she reluctantly picked up the wine cup.

"I've seen you." A figure suddenly leaned over from the side, that person narrowed his eyes, his face was flushed with alcohol.

"You," the other party hiccupped, and stretched out his fingers unsteadily, "you are the one who is following King Ma Cang Ye."

"Oh? Really." A'Du smiled, "But I don't seem to have seen you before."

All the officials present here are well-known officials. When she said this, that person immediately became anxious.

After drinking the fourth victim, the screen in front of her also seemed to have a double image.

A'Du narrowed his eyes, and felt that he saw the figure of King Ma Cang Ye, and the people around him were already unconscious from drinking, so no one was startled and suddenly jumped up.

"You drank too much." The figure in hunting clothes knelt down in front of her, "Is this wine that good?"

She supported her head and smiled at him, "...do you want to try it then?"

After drinking too much, the world becomes light.

The wine glass in her hand was taken away by someone, and she grabbed that person's sleeve and grabbed the other person's clothes until they were crumpled.

"Do you want to sneak out?" the voice asked her.

A'Du slowly let go of his hand: "...sneak out?"

"Yes." He smiled, "Sneak out."

The banquet was not over yet, and no one noticed that there were two missing figures among the guests present.

The snow is still falling.On the fourth day after the new moon, the moon was as light as a fingernail print in the night sky.

"You can't take an ox cart to sneak out." She said solemnly, "You have to walk."

King Ma Cang Ye: "Why not?"

A'Du glanced at him with "Can you do it?"

Because there is no reason to take a taxi after going out through the school gate.

No, you have to run.

In the world separated from the banquet, there is only the silent sound of falling snow. The streets of Heian-kyo are covered with frost, and the hustle and bustle gradually fades away. The endless night spreads out like a map that no one knows.

"Can you find your way back?"

"Of course."

"Where are we now?"

"..."

She stopped and stepped on the snow: "In the future, this street will be called Santiao Dalu, so we are in Santiao now."

The voice behind her was noncommittal.

"and then?"

"Then we turn left!"

"Why is it a left turn?"

"...Because I want to turn left." She looked up, "Can't you?"

"It's not impossible."

This man must be watching her joke, otherwise why is he always laughing.

A'Du was so angry that she wanted to fly solo.

"I'm going solo!!" she yelled.

"What do you mean flying solo?"

"It just...it means going home alone."

"How do you go back?"

When she was questioned, she suddenly felt sad.

"Sorry, I seem to have said something I shouldn't have said."

A'Du shook his head: "It's not your fault, you don't need to apologize."

The first month is a very important festival. In her hometown, no matter how far away, people have to go home for reunion.

She sighed: "my current mood will affect you, you'd better leave me alone for a while."

The snow seems to be getting smaller at last.

"It's okay." Ma Cang Ye Wang paused, and said softly, "Even if it's negative emotions, that's okay."

Dots of snowflakes fell from the night sky, and the silvery white seemed to be covered with the brilliance of the moon.

King Ma Cang Ye stretched out his hand and brushed the snowflakes off her hair.

A'Du raised his head, his eyes were extremely focused, and he stared at him for a long time.

A'Du narrowed his eyes: "Is the current atmosphere the atmosphere I thought it was?"

He chuckled: "You drank too much today."

"Not much at all." She retorted subconsciously, and then glanced at the empty street, "How can you do this in public..."

The field of vision suddenly darkened, and the shadow fell down. The Great Onmyoji raised his hand and enveloped her inside the wide sleeves of the hunting clothes.

Scattered snowflakes floated onto the hunting clothes and slid down along the vermilion string.

The outside world disappeared.The streets of Heian-kyo, the snowy night sky, and the moon in the night sky all disappeared miraculously at that moment.

This man has beautiful eyes.

The tails of the eyes are slightly raised, and the narrow and long outline is not sharp. There is a bit of unique beauty in the classical style. When the eyelids are gently half-lowered, the person being watched will forget everything around him.

Leaning against his chest, she raised her face in surprise, and Ma Cang Ye Wang just lowered her head slightly at that moment——

The snow that fell on the lips was soft and delicate, and it was so warm that it made the heart tremble.
