[Soul of Chess] Xia Lei

It all started with the acquaintance of two teenagers.

When Konoe Hikaru was six years old, he had a high fever because he accidentally bumped into a resentful spirit wandering around in the palace. He invited several onmyojis in the onmyoji house, but they were helpless. Sent to He Mao Mansion, begging Lord He Mao to get rid of the filth for his son.He didn't want to, but he heard that Master He Mao had left for Meinong a few days ago, and it would take two months at the earliest to come back.

Just when Konoe Danayan thought that his son-in-law was dying and unable to return to the sky, he knelt down on his knees and looked up at the sky. The snowflakes falling on his shoulders made him feel cold, but he saw a purple-clothed maid coming from the corridor, with one hand in his hand. Leading a young man who is about the same age as Konoe Hikaru.

"Young Master Ming is the adopted son of Master He Mao. He has been endowed with extraordinary talents since he was a child, and his spiritual power is very high," the maid said gently, "Young Master's illness may be cured."

Many years later, Konoe learned from the person next to him that the maid was his illusioned shikigami, and it was also a dangerous distraction when he was practicing in the back of the temple. After stopping, he heard his father talking to Shikigami at the door.

After hearing this, Jinwei Guangchu smiled and raised his glass to drink with that person, saying that he would toast to the bad relationship between the two of them.

When he was six years old, He Maoming went out on his own for the first time to exorcise spirits and save people. He successfully eradicated the evil spirit from Jinwei Guang, and also saved the life of the eldest son of the Jinwei Mansion.In order to prevent the evil energy from entering the body again, He Maoming let Konoe Guang live in the mansion for a month to recuperate.Unexpectedly, the two became acquainted with each other during that month and became good playmates, inseparable.

This acquaintance lasted for ten years.

Nie Yuan, really Nie Yuan.

When they talked about it that day, he laughed very heartily, and that person laughed lightly.

Unexpectedly, the word actually became a prophecy, Konoe Hikaru could only helplessly smile.

The sound of the water flow of the waterfall is very clear in the silent snowy night, Konoe Hikaru can even hear the sound of the water splashing and splashing on the rocks.

Avalokitesvara sits cross-legged in the middle of the temple silently, her silent eyes can't see the bottom, her compassionate expression seems to be looking at the sea of ​​suffering of thousands of sentient beings, she doesn't move or stand.

"...Ah Guang?" Fujiwara Sawei walked slowly, calling softly to the boy who was standing facing the statue of Avalokitesvara.

Perhaps it was because the mountains were covered by heavy snow and it was midnight, so he walked all the way without seeing a single person.

Facing the eleven Buddha statues enshrined in the hall, the quiet falling snowflakes outside and the sound of the Yinwa Waterfall next to the temple made the hall even more silent.Under such circumstances, Fujiwara Sawei subconsciously lowered his voice, for fear of disturbing the quietness of this room.

"Can you tell me," at this moment, his expression was exceptionally gentle. "Did something happen?"

Konoe moved slightly.

The silver dragon sword emitted a faint light.

At the beginning of September last year, a major event happened in Beijing.

A woodcutter found an injured little fox when he went up the mountain to chop wood. Although the red fur looked a bit dull due to the serious injury, it still had a mellow beauty.If you take it back and feed it well, it will definitely fetch a good price when its fur shines.Thinking of this, the woodcutter reached out and took the red fox back to Beijing on his arms.

Things just got out of hand.

That red fox was originally a six-tailed Thunder Beast, but it managed to break through the magic circle suppressing it in Chiyuan Temple, and escaped with serious injuries.If the woodcutter hadn't brought it back, everyone in the temple would have searched for it within a stick of incense, and killed it directly while it was seriously injured.Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, and it was picked up by a woodcutter, which caused a catastrophe.

The woodcutter, who was nearly fifty years old, was carrying a lot of firewood and went home with a wounded fox on his arm.But before he could feed the red fox with eggs, he and his family all became the prey of the six-tailed thunder beast.

The six-tailed Thunder Beast has been sealed for nearly 400 years, and it has trained enough patience for such a long time. By the time the Yamen noticed that more and more people died and disappeared without reason in Beijing, the matter was irreversible.

It has achieved great success in cultivation.

And the Onmyoji in Beijing, headed by He Maoming, was sent to destroy the six-tailed Thunder Beast.

After 500 years of cultivation and 400 years of captivity, that six-tailed Thunder Beast has nearly a thousand years of magic power.

Even He Maoming, who sits at the top of the imperial city's spiritual power, still lost to the sweep of Liuwei behind it.

At that time, Konoe Guang ignored everyone's dissuasion and insisted on coming to the West Street that was wantonly destroyed by the Six-Tailed Thunder Beast, and raised the Imperial Sword to help He Maoming.

The Yushen Saber slashed at the six tails with a powerful spiritual power that could not be looked at directly, and cut a heavy wound on one of the tails.He Maoming made a decisive decision, regardless of his own dangerous situation, he sealed and cast a spell, and chopped off the entire tail along the edge of the blade.

The Thunder Beast howled in pain, the remaining five tails stood on end, and its eyes were filled with blood, wanting to kill them.

At that time, one of them was seriously injured and the other had no spiritual power. If they were hit by the Thunder Beast, they would definitely die.

Just then, that person appeared.

Abe Seimei.

Carrying out the ancient and modern, the first Onmyoji.

The four gods will be summoned by that person to fight the Thunder Beast.

In almost an instant, the situation was completely reversed.

In the final fight between the divine general Qinglong and the Thunder Beast, a strong light erupted.Jin Weiguang was held tightly by He Maoming and covered his eyes, and the flying sand and rocks blown up by the strong wind passed by them, and were twisted into gravel by the sharp wind blades.

When everything calmed down, the Thunder Beast had already crashed to the ground.

Konoe was a little disturbed to find that He Maoming's eyes lit up the moment he looked at the man in the white hunting clothes.

Since when did it start.

I want you to look at me and only me.

It is enough to have me by your side.

During the banquet in the palace, there were always people talking about His Highness Kamo's aloofness, arrogance and unapproachability, Konoe's anger from the beginning gradually turned into helplessness, and then quietly changed from helplessness to joy.

Others are afraid of your powerful ability and dissatisfied with your attitude towards others, which is exactly what I want.

If they don't want to get close to you, they should never get close.

It's enough for you to just have me by your side.

This kind of thought fell into his heart at some point, and took root and grew inside until it filled the entire atrium.

Only I can see your smile, you can only face me with a gentle expression, I am the only one who can hug you, and I can only be the one who kisses you.

Smiles, hugs, kisses, caresses, all can only be directed at me.

Such thoughts, like the seeds of a towering tree, grow crazily, almost driving him crazy.

But it made him fascinated by it.

Everyone in the capital knows, but His Royal Highness He Mao, who is weakly crowned, sits in the imperial city, and the only one who can stand beside him is the son of Jinwei Da Nayan's mansion.

The only one who can get close to such a peerless and exiled His Royal Highness He Mao is Prince Jinwei.

By He Maoming's side, before, now, and in the future, there will only be Konoe Guang alone.

Before Abe Seimei appeared, Konoe Hikari had always believed in this sentence.

But in front of the person who wiped out the six-tailed Thunder Beast with a snap of his fingers, he found that this kind of firm belief was as pale as snowflakes under the scorching sun.

Too weak to be worth mentioning.

He Maoming changed.

Everyone inside said the same way.

After all, he is a high-spirited young man, there is someone who has surpassed him so much in front of his eyes, no one can be reconciled to it.

Behind the bead curtain, the graceful lady leaned against the beauty, holding the round fan loosely in her hand, and smiled softly.

Brother needn't worry.

The noble girl who knows her brother's mind well comforts the young man who is in a trance.

Konoe Hikaru knelt and sat below, his eyes dim.

When did that mood begin to change?

The joy and joy of being with him slowly fermented into a strong possessive desire, followed by pain and jealousy.

Abe Seimei appeared in Beijing for less than a dozen days, and He Maoming's match with him was only halfway through, so he decided to stop the match.

"It's really rude, Your Highness Kamo. But Seimei also has something to do..." Abe Seimei was hunting for clothes, rustling in the wind, with a look of guilt and pity. "The competition with His Highness can only end here. If there is a destiny, there will be a day when we will meet again, and Qingming will say goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves to summon the four generals, and left the capital in the rustling autumn wind.

Or rather, the world.

There is a saying in Buddhism: One flower is one world, and we live in only three thousand worlds.

The number one onmyoji in ancient and modern times, who was supposed to be born decades later, was so powerful that he could break through the barriers of time and space. He was born in Ping'an capital a hundred years ago, leaving behind a legend of destroying thunder beasts with a flick of his finger.

And He Maoming also became in a trance after that person left. He opened the scrolls and ancient books every day and night, practiced spells, and improved his spiritual power at an astonishing speed.

In less than half a year, even the power of all the onmyojis in Hejing would not be able to hurt him at all.

Originally, the famous name of the young man in Beijing was spread all over the world.

The three words He Maoming seem to represent the lifelong pursuit of all Onmyojis.

He Maoming became more and more cold, his originally gentle face became as cold as ice, but his unsheathed eyes withdrew their sharpness, as deep as a pool of clear water, beautiful but unfathomable.It's just that what others see is unfathomable, but Konoe only sees beauty.

Konoe Guang carried the imperial sword and followed He Maoming as always, drinking wine and poetry, talking and laughing at Yan Yan as always.

Only he himself knew that the jealousy and dissatisfaction in his heart were growing wildly.

Konoe Hikaru was jealous that ever since that person appeared, He Maoming's eyes had been fixed on him. Even if he left here, He Maoming still didn't forget him.Every day and night without sleep, he practiced spells in order to have a complete duel with that person one day.

He Maoming's gaze no longer focused on Konoe Hikaru alone.

This drove Konoe Hikaru into madness several times.

Why don't you look at me anymore?Why don't you look at me alone!

I don't want to do this!
