[Shaman King] He has a cat

Her name is said to come from a dream of her mother.

In the dream, the sky is hazy, the world is shrouded in the silence at dawn, the misty water is endless, and the white waterfowl silently flit across the reeds on the shore.In the distant sky, a ray of golden light slowly seeped into the dense water.

When her mother woke up from the dream, she found that the amniotic fluid had broken. After giving birth to her in the hospital that day, she decided to name her "Du" based on this dream.

If the first name has an extraordinary meaning, what about her last name?

Does the surname "Shen" also have a special meaning?

With a creak, the bullock cart stopped outside the vast mansion.

After getting out of the car, she was still thinking about this problem, and she didn't take a few steps behind King Ma Cangye, and she didn't notice that the clog straps on her feet were broken, and she suddenly staggered forward.

With a snap, the sound of clogs breaking, her heart stopped beating.

"..."

The pupils dilated instantly, but the expected pain did not come.The person in front seemed to have heard the exclamation in her heart, turned around at the last moment, and raised her hand to catch her falling figure.

The red and white safari was loose and fluffy, and she seemed to have fallen into a soft cloud, and then felt the warmth of another body.

In the Heian period, incense was prevalent, and nobles and ministers loved incense. When she entered the palace today, she was suffocated by the smell, but now the breath surrounding her does not have a strong pungent smell. It feels mild and light, reminiscent of In the quiet season, the fallen flowers that float into the mountain spring.

She froze for a moment.It turns out that smells really make people see beautiful sights.

Then she reacted, and the cheek that was leaning against the opponent's arms suddenly burned.

"Are you all right?"

... She's fine, but her self-esteem is a little hurt.

It's embarrassing, really embarrassing.She almost performed a face-first flat fall on the savior—yes, she has now decided to treat the savior as a benefactor.

Let her eat and live for a month for free. Isn't this a living Bodhisattva or something? !

It's a Bodhisattva! ! !

She almost rolled and crawled, ah no, jumped away from the other party's embrace, stepped on one of the wooden clogs without paying attention, and backed away from the safe and polite social distance with a dry smile.

"Thank you."

King Ma Cang Ye withdrew his hand, his face always had the expression of no surprise for anything, and his tone was gentle and peaceful: "In the past two days, you have thanked you enough times."

She thought about it for a while, and found that it really seemed to be the case.

"Are you okay?" King Ma Cang Ye asked again.

She looked down at the other person's line of sight.

what.

When the palace was on fire, she might have been too anxious to run. It is actually very good that the clogs have lasted until now. It is also extraordinary that she has persisted in wearing clogs until now before wrestling.

"...I'm fine."

As a modern woman, who hasn't been worn out by shoes.

The skin is broken, bleeding, and sometimes dirty and dusty, like this when she took college graduation photos, because she was too tired wearing high heels, she took off her shoes and held them bare in her hands Walked back to the dormitory.

His toes curled up unconsciously, the road in front of the mansion didn't have any gravel, and stepping on it wouldn't make people feel unbearable pain.

She looked up and smiled:

"It's a small injury, it will be healed in a few days."

She didn't think this injury was a big deal, but Ma Nu, who was in charge of taking care of her, didn't think so.

In the era of backward medical treatment, infection caused by a small wound is enough to cause serious illness. She had to sit and lie down for a few days under Ma Nu's instructions. The most important task every day was to learn and memorize the map of Heianjing.

Ma Cang Yewang's study was full of things she hadn't seen before. Apart from scrolls, calligraphy and paintings, there were also some strange things that looked like utensils used for divination and sacrifices.

Ma Nu told her that the thing placed on the table is called a style plate, the square plate is the ground, and the round plate covered with the ground is the sky plate. The time and stars are engraved on it, which is an important prop for divination.

"Then Mr. Ye Wang can also do divination for this task?"

King Ma Cang Ye is a very busy man. He was recently assigned by the court to investigate and control the flooding of the Yodo River.

A few days ago, the water level of Lake Piwa soared, flooding countless farmlands and breaking down the dams downstream. People said that the disaster was caused by monsters. For a while, even the residents of the capital were panicked.

The flood this time must have been very serious, otherwise the imperial court would not have appointed King Ma Cang Ye, the Great Onmyoji guarding Ping'an capital, to go out.

After staying in this era for such a period of time, she has already vaguely understood that the world in the Heian era is full of ghosts and ghosts, and the capital is even more rampant. Also more capable people.

The Yodo River flows through modern Osaka, and it is a very important trade waterway. The nobles and officials in Heian-kyo depend on the goods transported by this river. It is not surprising that the economic loss is so severe this time, and King Makura Hawa will be sent there.

If it is King Ma Cang Ye, there must be a way, and the world seems to think so.

But Ma Nu has been worried for the past few days, and once when she was helping her dress, the links were tied wrongly.

"what happened?"

Even if she asked, the other party would not answer directly.

"Many people must have died this time." Ma Nu lowered her head, untied the knot at her waist and tied it again.

"The human heart is very ugly at times like this."

She noticed that the word Ma Nu used was "ugly".

At first she thought the other party would say "vulnerable", but she didn't expect the other party to choose the adjective "ugly".

Adjectives with similar meanings like pitch-black, distorted, and deformed suddenly flooded into my mind, as if people saw the turbid water of the Yodo River soaked with bloated floating corpses.

This mansion located in the corner of Heian-kyo is calm and peaceful, but the cat in the mansion is not happy.

The title of Master Mao was learned by her from the attendant who took care of the ox cart.

During the days when King Ma Cang Ye was away, Gu Zong was always listless. Every time she saw it, the tawny tabby cat was lying on the futon, with its tail curled up, sleeping in the room where King Ma Cang Ye stayed.

The cherry blossoms in spring have passed the brightest and most enthusiastic flowering period, and they are scattered from the branches.

She knew that Gu Zong was awake.

It curled up, like a small copper coin, lying on the futon of the same color as it.

She had never seen King Ma Cangye use this kind of futon, and reasoned very rigorously that King Ma Cangye bought this futon specially for cats.

... Well done, Ma Cang Ye Wang.

"Did I disturb you?"

Cats are territorial. For an outsider, the Stock Master has always ignored her, neither welcomes nor rejects her, and completely ignores her.

That's pretty gentle treatment for a cat, especially a former feral cat.

Even if she is scratched, she is willing.

The cat with drooping eyelids ignored her, and the tip of its black-striped tail seemed to be hooked, and the arc of the swing was not too big.

She softened her tone: "...you miss him very much, don't you?"

The tip of the black-striped tail stopped, and after a while, the arc of the flick seemed to become wider.

In the past few days when King Ma Cang Ye was away, the already empty mansion seemed to become even more empty, with the only sound of falling flowers when the wind blows.

"Can I touch you?" She sat seriously in front of the futon, asking for Mr. Cat's permission.

"Just one click?" She tentatively asked, "Just one click?"

Gu Zong slightly opened his eyes, watched her stretch out his hand without any reaction, and touched its head carefully.

She is happy.

She lay down happily.

The afternoon sun in spring reflected on the wooden floor, and the cherry blossoms slowly fell with the breeze. She watched Chu Zong slowly close her eyes, and unconsciously, she also fell asleep together.

The dream was drowsy, without time or order. She slept for a long time in a daze, but was awakened by the sudden cold wind.

The setting sun fell towards the sky, and the air turned cold at some point. A tall and narrow shadow stood under the eaves of the corridor, and the hazy vision slowly became clear, reflecting a corner of the Great Onmyoji Shouyi.

The cherry blossoms have failed to bloom, and the remaining crimson petals are scattered into the room by the cool wind.

Before fully waking up from her sleep, she rubbed her eyes and said vaguely, "You're back."

King Ma Cang Ye may have just come back, or he may have been back for a long time.

She suddenly remembered that during the absence of the other party, she actually touched his cat without authorization, and even took a nap with his cat without authorization.

She gasped suddenly, and was about to get up.

After finishing the endless sentence, the cold and sharp aura around the other party seemed to melt a little suddenly, and slowly changed back to his usual gentle appearance.

"You'll catch a cold if you stay here."

Was it to remind her of this?

She was very moved.

"Are you tired?" She seemed to have accidentally robbed Ma Nu's lines, "Do you want to eat first?"

She has always believed that people are iron and rice is steel. Thinking of this, she got up and planned to go to Ma Nu to prepare dinner.

"No need," said the voice behind.

Something in that voice made her stop.

"Just let me rest for a while."

Until the night, she never saw his figure again.

Maybe she slept too much during the day, and she woke up in the middle of the night.When I woke up, the lights under the eaves were still on, silently burning the silent night.

She was sure it wasn't her dizziness, she didn't hear the wind, but those lamps flickered suddenly, and the whole mansion suddenly fell into darkness.

The lights in the mansion went out, and she sat up before putting on her coat.

"Ma Nu?"

The shikigami was nowhere to be seen.

Lighting the candles, manipulating the shikigami, the spiritual power that maintained the mansion seemed to have disappeared at that moment. When she came to the corridor outside the room barefoot, she found a barrier appeared indistinctly above the mansion texture.

The huge barrier is fixed at the four corners of the mansion, covering the space inside tightly.

In the long silent night, the cat's shrill and anxious cry came from the direction of the sleeping hall.

She ran.

Halfway through the run, a slender ghost quickly sprang out of the dark room.

Why did a ghost appear in the mansion of Great Onmyoji Master Ma Cang Ye Wang? Before she had time to think about this question, the ghost had already rushed towards her.

In the past few days, she has learned some basic yin and yang techniques from Ma Nu, including the simplest attack spells.

When the hungry ghost jumped in front of her eyes, she raised her hand and punched it without even thinking about it.

In the end, instinct still prevailed.

With a bang, the ghost flew backwards and knocked down several screens in the room one after another. When she came to the main room of the dormitory, she found that the situation was worse than she had imagined, and even more weird.

When she was a child, she saw the corpse of a bird, its stiff feathered body covered with insects and ants, which had a great impact on her young mind, and she had nightmares for several days in succession.

She still remembers the picture of the bird's corpse surging in its stomach. Fortunately, the people in the tent have not yet fallen into such a situation. Gu Zong stayed in the enchantment next to King Ma Cang Ye, his body hair exploded, Shrieking frantically at the hungry ghosts outside the barrier.

Those ghosts were densely packed, like insects and ants smelling the sweet smell of flesh and blood, greedily and longingly staring at the figure in the barrier, not even paying attention to her arrival for the first time.

She picked up the extinguished candlestick, the metal texture sticking stickily to her sweat-drenched palm.

Just think of it as playing baseball, she hypnotizes herself in the bottom of her heart, I'm just playing baseball.

Then, she took a deep breath and gripped the "club".

The first ghost rushed over and was hit by her on the neck. The dislocated bones made a toothache sound. She held the candlestick with her backhand and viciously knocked out the second ghost—this time it was home run.

Homerun.

Bang—the sound of metal knocking exploded.

The black shadow that flew over suddenly scattered the hungry ghosts around the barrier, she threw away the sunken candlestick in her hand, rushed towards the tent in three steps at a time, entered the barrier and threw herself at Guzong and Ma Cangye Wang side.

"Mr. Ye Wang?!" She pressed his shoulders, and the thin pajamas were soaked with sweat. She found that the body touched by her palms was terribly hot, as if a fire was burning from the inside out. She almost thought that what she touched was The red-hot soldering iron immediately withdrew his hand.

The stock sect screamed at her sternly, its voice was completely hoarse.

She reached out her hand again, trying to shake Ma Cang Ye Wang awake.

"Mr. Ye Wang?!" She raised her voice.

Hungry ghosts outside the barrier can't get in, they stick to the barrier wall in black, even if they are unconscious, the barrier opened by King Ma Cangye is still extremely powerful.

But this doesn't mean the crisis is over. The condition of the person lying in the tent is so bad that she couldn't help raising her voice again.

"Ma Cang Leaf King?!"

It's useless, the other party seems to be haunted by something terrible, his body is so hot that it seems that there is a fire burning inside, trying to burn his bones and even his soul together until it melts.

She smashed and smashed, forgetting all the nonsense politeness.

"King Ye!!!"

The figure seemed to move slightly.

Her long black hair was wet with sweat, she leaned closer to the other person's mouth, and heard him say something in a low voice.

"..."

Quarrel.

Falling into a burning nightmare, the pale man slightly opened his eyes and said out of focus:

--It's noisy.

Her mind went blank, and all the hungry ghosts outside the barrier neighed sharply. She didn't know what to do or what she could do, so at that moment, she stretched out her hand.

Cover each other's ears.

Like what her mother would have done to her when the couple upstairs were swearing wildly at each other when she was very young, she put her hands over the ears of the one in pain.

...don't listen to those horrible words.

Her mother smiled and gestured to her.

Soon—soon it will be over.

"..."

After covering his ears, the voice of the world seemed to come from the distant surface of the water.

The hungry ghost was still attacking the barrier, and the voice in her ears certainly did not disappear. The mist in Ma Cang Ye Wang's eyes gradually dissipated, and his expression seemed to be clearer.He seemed to wake up from a chaotic dream, and looked at her for a while in the dim night with the faint moonlight.

After what seemed like a long time and what seemed like a short moment, he slowly and silently pronounced her name:

"... A'Du?"

The author has something to say:

Let me explain to the little angel who is not familiar with the original manga, Ma Cang Ye Wang has [spiritual vision]: the ability to read minds, this ability allows him to grasp other people's thoughts and situations, but he cannot turn off this ability, so the price is to face it directly. The darkness of the human heart will cause ghosts to be born in his own heart.
