I, Seimei, can't be an audiophile

Changing the future may seem simple, but it is actually very troublesome.

Just like water, the more you push it, the more it flows sideways.

Blindly wanting to avoid a future you don't like can sometimes push that future into existence.

However, it depends on who will do it.

If it was Seimei-sama, he could use more ingenious methods, such as finding fish schools in a specific location, sprinkle bait, let them flow in a specific direction, and make the water flow change the direction he wanted.

——Abe Seimei doesn’t like changing the future very much, because it’s boring enough to do so.He prefers the joy of unknown and challenging life.

But, on the other hand, as long as he wants, the future can be changed into the shape he wants at any time.

……

"Seimei-sama!"

Seeing a short, weird man with a mustache rushing towards him, Lord Seimei reflexively punched him in the face to stop him from sticking to him.

"Ah, who is this, pervert?"

The man with the mustache stood up holding his nose in aggrieved way: "It's too much, Mr. Qingming, it's me, it's me!"

Master Qingming looked reminiscent, like a playboy who couldn't remember who he dated.

But he quickly gave up and continued to recall, anyway, maybe it was the monster he knew?

Or an acquaintance of Li Qingming.Considering that the current time point is the future, maybe it is someone he knows in the future after returning to the past.There are so many possibilities that it doesn't make sense to go into detail.

"What do you want me to do? Let me explain in advance that I'm just staying here temporarily and will go back soon. If you have something to do, you can wait for me to go back and find my future self."

Lord Qingming is already very familiar with this routine of being indecisive and throwing the blame to another self.

"Is that so?" Mustache said pitifully, "Can I stay with Master Qingming? Even if it's only temporarily, I want to help Master Qingming."

"Okay—" Master Qingming smiled, "I just want to ask someone for help."

You may be wondering why Seimei-sama has no defense against 'strangers'.

Let alone strangers, even "friends" should be a little wary. For example, in Lu Xiaofeng's story, most of the people who cheated Lu Xiaofeng were his friends. He was cheated many times because he trusted his friends too much.So why did Master Qingming, who is good at making friends, never step on such a trap?

Firstly, Lord Seimei has strong insight and divination ability, and generally he will not make such principled mistakes. His friends are indeed friends worth making friends with, and he will not take the route of preferring to be indiscriminate.

On the other hand, it was this man who was more terrifying than what he showed, even to his 'friends', Seimei-sama was still an existence that made them love and fear him.

Only Xiao Xiao, who is a childhood sweetheart with Master Qingming, can easily call him "Qingming" and play happily with him unscrupulously.

Most of his friends have a very high respect for him in their hearts, and they didn't say it out of their mouths because they were concerned about Master Qingming's own preferences.

Just like Mustache, he addresses Natsume Takashi as "His Royal Highness Natsume", and address Seimei-sama as "Master Seimei". The environment has the meaning of a person in the palace, and Master Qingming has no respect for imperial power. Such words are "disrespectful" to Master Qingming.

"Master Qingming, what do you need me to do?"

Mustache asked hastily, as if he was afraid that he would lose the opportunity to express himself if he spoke too late.

"To do a small thing, someone needs to protect the law. First, go to the highest place near here."

"The highest place around here?" Mustache looked at a skyscraper, "It should be there."

Seimei-sama is going to track down the whereabouts of the warlock.

Generally speaking, if you have obtained the opponent's spells, especially the head that the opponent has personally used, you can easily track the opponent's whereabouts based on this object.

But warlocks cannot be judged by common sense, especially that they are not onmyojis, but the ancestors of magic above onmyojis, descendants of Kunlun immortals.

The spells they used were more primitive, more powerful, and more subtle.Even without divination, Lord Seimei knew that the result of using the head to track directly would most likely alarm the opponent and allow him to escape completely.

——No, no, he has already lost once, this time no matter what, he can't let the opponent escape, otherwise he will be unable to hold his head up in front of his other self.

So how to do it without using the head for tracking?

It's very simple, don't cast spells on that head directly, just use more roundabout methods to achieve it.

For example, divination involves the future of the owner of this head.

General divination, Seimei-sama can do it at will, but if you use the usual method of divination, the chance of being disturbed is not small.Interfering with divination and tracking is a common technique used by skilled warlocks.

Master Seimei can generally ignore these interferences and directly achieve his goal, but the result of the failure of the interference is likely to be fed back to the warlock. He needs to be more careful, more cautious, and complete this matter lightly.

Then, this divination will use the 'ritual'.

Most of the divination of Onmyoji will use "rituals", such as clothing, magic tools, special places, etc., which are all ways to enhance divination.

In general formal divination, the onmyoji should wear pure white formal attire, hold magic tools, and stand on the top of the highest mountain to cast spells for divination.

For Mr. Seimei, most of the steps can be omitted.It’s like a math problem, maybe covered up by external rhetoric such as “Xiaoming’s mother” and “tortoise and the hare race”, the essence is just numbers and formulas;

As long as you understand the meaning, you can do the same with approximate methods.

It's like pure white clothing - it doesn't necessarily need to be the clothing of a priest or an onmyoji, the key point is that there should be no variegated colors, and it can reflect the surrounding 'thought waves' to a certain extent.

Just like torpedoes are coated with special paint to achieve concealment, if you want to break through the truth of time without being restricted by the law, you have to "invisibly deal with" yourself to some extent.

Of course, the concept of Shinto is another way of saying that white represents the messenger of God and the symbol of purity, so it is necessary to wear white when doing divine things.

For Mr. Seimei, as long as he achieves inner peace and no distracting thoughts, he can achieve the same effect.

As for the magic tools, they are needed to concentrate the mana more and perform fine micromanipulation.

The same reason why you don’t use the mouse to click on the soft keyboard one by one, but choose to use the physical keyboard, is convenient, and ordinary people cannot achieve such precise hand speed and subtle operations.

For Lord Seimei, that is not necessary, any object, even a dead branch cut off from a tree, can be used as his ritual tool.The magic tool is just a symbolic meaning to him, and he can achieve that level of magic manipulation by himself.

As for going to a higher place - it is for the coverage of the spell range and to eliminate the clutter on the ground.

In order to improve the accuracy of spells, Master Seimei chose the highest nearby place to execute the spell.

Mustache took him to the mysterious building, and carefully handed him a handful of weeping willow branches to Mr. Qingming.Willow branches are indeed commonly used props for gods.

Master Qingming nodded in relief, it seemed that he was indeed someone he knew.He casually swiped in the air and set up a small barrier to prevent anyone among them from interfering with his ritual.

Afterwards, he picked up the willow paper, first recited a classic sacrificial rite, and swung the willow branch in several directions—the willow leaves and some water droplets fell, and God knows where the water came from.

Then one of the several branches suddenly ignited spontaneously!Master Qingming threw away the other branches, and Mustache quickly caught them with both hands.

Holding the burning branch, Master Qingming knelt down, turned his wrist slightly, and poked a hole in the concrete roof directly, and the willow branch was inserted into the hole, just like a flower arrangement.Then he took out the head and put it in front of the willow branch.

The mustache swallowed, no matter what time Master Seimei's hand made people awe-inspiring.Even if it is a monster that is poked with this strength, it will probably poke a hole directly like poking tofu.

Master Qingming watched it burn quietly, and when it was about to burn out, he suddenly waved his finger, and the wind pressure from his fingertips cut the burnt dead wood into several pieces.

The scorched dead wood fell on the ground, forming an inverse pentagram pattern as if by chance, surrounding the head inside!

"what."

Master Onmyoji smiled.

"What is this, the inevitability of history? Ah, no, this is the future. Then let me use the so-called 'history' to cheat."

If he saw this pattern without warning, he might not be able to decipher it.

He has been to Seimei Shrine, and he knows that the "kikyo knot" is equivalent to the upright pentagram, which is the symbol of Abe Seimei's own genre of spells, so he naturally knows the way to crack this position.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the dead wood and the 'invisible flocks' linked by the dead wood.

If the domain of the conjurer is the world of the conjurer, you can interfere with the operation by adjusting the magic power of the conjurer.

So if you put it in the whole world, the whole planet, it's actually exactly the same.

This planet is the realm of the 'gods', the world below the realm of Shaman.If the gods are regarded as "conjurers" and the rules are regarded as "mantras", then it can be proved by the same reason that "interference" is not completely impossible.

Master Qingming's hand touched the 'silk' in the air, and he felt the vibration gently like a pulse. He saw the past and future destiny through those invisible silk.

After that, he tried to move them lightly with his fingers, and the scorched black dead wood on the ground moved!They changed their individual positions as if being blown by the wind, and transformed into a positive pentagram pattern!

The head of the people surrounded in the middle twisted, shrank, and quickly turned black and lost their flesh and skin, becoming a scorched black skeleton, as if it had been burned away like those dead trees.

Immediately afterwards, thunderclouds flickered in the area above the head, and thunder after thunder fell!

Master Qingming was unmoved, not a single thunderbolt fell on him, but was blocked by 'something'.

The turbulent and tumbling thunder faded away as quickly as it came.At some point, the huge white dragon that surrounded the entire field shook its body, and its scorched black scales fell off one after another.

"Thanks a lot."

Lord Qingming picked up the unburned willow branches not far away, walked over and swept the willow branches over the places where the scales had been lost, covered them with spiritual power, and new scales grew out layer by layer, as beautiful as a snake's slough.

"Ah, I've grown taller!" Bailong said with some joy, "That's great, Lord Qingming, I've absorbed the energy of the sky thunder and grown taller!"

"But the body is still a bit short for the dragon clan. You are just over a thousand years old?" Master Qingming was a little surprised, "That is to say, when you met me back then, you were just born?"

Bailong was a little shy: "That's right, Mishimawa-sama brought me out of the world of fantasy, and the time I have had a physical body is still very short."

The fantasy world is located between fantasy and reality in another dimension. There are many types of dragons. Obviously, this is a fantasy species that once lived in the fantasy world and has the form of a dragon.

Thinking of the image of the other party's moustache, Seimei-sama felt a little bit emotional, that was probably the camouflage form he thought was closest to himself.

The lifespan of the phantom species is estimated at tens or billions. No wonder whether it is a human or a dragon, it looks so short. After a long time, it is just a baby dragon.

By the way, in Yokohama now, the tallest building here is... well, you know.
