I, Seimei, can't be an audiophile

It was already night when He Mao Baoxian returned home.

When he entered the house, the tall attendant who had been waiting in front of the door for a long time greeted him and said, "Madam and young master have been waiting for you for a long time."

Bao Xian walked into the house, and sure enough, the soft and beautiful woman sitting quietly in the house was delighted to see him come back.

"you are back!"

The three-year-old who was talking to her with his head up on her lap jumped off immediately and ran towards him.

The child ran past the mother, directly past the tall squire, as if he did not exist at all, just a shadowy shadow, and finally ran up to the patriarch with outstretched hands.

"Father!"

Baoxian looked at the child, but did not reach out to pick him up.

An indescribable sense of alienation made the child a little embarrassed and frightened.

The child's mother came over: "Your father is very tired, can you let him have a rest? Lord Baoxian, this child has been waiting for you, and now he refuses to sleep."

The woman who said this was also very disturbed.Even if the couple have been married for several years and have a child, there is still a lot of distance between them.

Lord Baoxian is a very traditional man, and he rarely communicates with her about outside work. Even today, she still feels in awe of her husband.

Baoxian showed a gentle expression, as if it was all an illusion of others before, he reached out and stroked the child's head: "Tomorrow I will check your homework, if you have done well, mother and I will take you outside to play, okay?"

The child immediately turned into a smiling face: "Okay! Father, you must not go back on your word!"

Baoxian smiled and nodded: "Mu Li, you can take him to sleep first, I still have some business to attend to."

His wife nodded: "My lord Baoxian, please rest early."

After the two of them left, Bao Xian restrained his smile and said, "Go to Ye Wang's side and tell him that I will hand over the Hei Tiangou incident to him. Well done, that's all for him to break into the forbidden area of ​​He Mao's house before." Finished."

The attendant clasped his fists together: "Yes!"

Afterwards, the attendant turned into a fiery red bird and flew away.

Baoxian couldn't help but think of the past, when his father Kamo Tadyuki had just brought home the young Abe Seimei.

At first, he didn't take his father's warning to heart, thinking that he was just a child who hadn't even been exposed to magic before, so where could he be in danger?

Later, it was proved that the father was right. The younger the child who has not yet formed complete values ​​and his thoughts are not restrained, the more he will use his little knowledge of the world to do terrible things.

"Just show it to senior brother, the little one I raised was originally only so small, but now it has grown so big!"

The child showed off the 'thing' beside him with a smile on his face, and chuckled complacently as he spoke.

"Where did you steal it? It's really greedy."

He Mao Baoxian, who was only four years older than Qingming, stared wide-eyed, walked up quickly, and slapped Qingming directly.

The young child covered his face in confusion, and looked at him pitifully, with an aggrieved expression on his face.

He didn't even know why he was being scolded, just like any child who stole a small pet like a cat or dog and was bewildered when he was scolded by an adult.

Baoxian pressed Qingming's shoulders with both hands, and told him earnestly: "Listen, Qingming, you can't keep such a thing, and you can't let your father know about it."

"Couldn't Master Tadyuki know?" The young Seimei repeated in confusion.

"Yes, my lord father will be very angry when he finds out, you will leave here, and you will never be able to learn spells again."

Seeing that Qingming was finally scared, Baoxian breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, I will handle it. Don't tell anyone, Qingming. This is our secret."

Baoxian finished recalling, even if he was such a troublesome child, he is now a unique onmyoji.Comparing the behavior of King Ma Cangye with Qingming back then, he is even a little cute.

Therefore, people rely on comparison.

Mishimawa is worthy of being a folklorist in the future. As soon as he heard about the kappa, he immediately talked about a lot of information about the kappa.

"Kappa is what we say here. It is called 'water tiger' in the mainland. It originated in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. It is said that it looks like a three- or four-year-old child, but its body is covered with fine scales, which are difficult for bows and arrows to shoot through. It sounds like Isn’t it very different from Kappa’s expression?”

Talking about it, Mishima said again: "The monsters in the rumors are like this. Everyone will regard the similar things they have seen as the same, and they may be several different things.

For example, when a monkey sees a crocodile in the water, it will be described in one way, and when it sees a huge turtle, it will be described as another. Since they all appear in the water, people think they are the same thing, so they piece together a image. "

Li Qingming nodded again and again, and today he learned knowledge that is completely unnecessary for modern people.

Yuan Boya listened with gusto: "So that's how it is called in mainland China!"

——That's right, Mr. Yuan Boya also participated this time!Because it was he who brought the news, the person who knew about it was someone he knew, so he had to let Mr. Yuan Boya lead the way.

Mishima became interested, and explained in more detail: "What's interesting is that once the description of monsters is formed, it will have regional characteristics. For example, the descriptions of Kappa in a certain area are similar. On the one hand, it is caused by the scope of rumors, and on the other hand On the one hand, people's thinking will be solidified.

Many people tell you that there is such a thing, once you encounter similar things, you will automatically substitute into it. Known images are easier to substitute than unknown ones. "

Li Qingming said: "Then Mishima, do you think it might not be a Kappa?"

Mishima replied: "It's too early to tell, but according to what I know, the most primitive description of the kappa is not a man-eating beast. The Compendium of Materia Medica says that the water tiger is usually gentle and will attack if provoked."

While chatting, they followed Yuan Boya to a fisherman's house near the lake.It turned out that Boya often bought fish and shrimp from fishermen's homes, so he knew this family.

Mishimawa was a little surprised: "I thought it was someone from the family who came to do this kind of thing, but Mr. Boya actually came to buy fish and shrimp by himself?"

Yuan Boya shyly replied: "I prefer that kind of scene. Seeing the fisherman's appearance when he just landed is very exciting."

Yuan Boya is a musician who likes to look for creative inspiration everywhere. The fishermen who are familiar with him don’t mind taking him for a walk in shallow water in their free time.

Even just taking a small swim in the lake near the water can make Yuan Boya very happy.They also like the sound of Yuan Boya's flute. To them, the noble lord didn't dislike them, and even came to ride their boat, and even played the flute on the boat. It was something that only happened in a dream.

The fisherman's old man was in his early 40s, dark and healthy, and spoke with a local accent. Li Qingming could barely understand what he said.

It turned out that this water area itself is quite dangerous. It looks calm during the day, but it will blow up as soon as the evening approaches. Generally speaking, the local people know that the fishing boats will come back as soon as possible.

But every time there are some guys who think they have good water skills, but they will not go back until the wind blows.

Once the wind blows, there will be waves, and the boat will be bumpy, and naturally someone may fall into it.

If it is normal, after falling in, as long as the wind and waves are not strong, everyone will try to rescue it.

But this time the person who fell suddenly yelled that something was pulling his feet, and then fell to the bottom of the lake.

Looking at the small whirlpool on the lake, no one dared to approach it. They could only call his name around and try to reach people with bamboo poles.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the bamboo pole finally hung on something, and when I poked it up, it was the man's corpse!

The crowd hurriedly salvaged him with various tools, and found that there was a hole in the abdomen of the corpse, which had been scraped open by something. The internal organs had been eaten up, and there was still a piece of remaining intestine hanging from the hole, which looked extremely hideous. .

Hearing this description, Li Qingming and others turned pale, it was so, so terrifying!What the hell is underwater?Sounds like a large carnivore!

Mishima Lun was puzzled: "What does this have to do with Master Seimei? Why are there rumors that Master Seimei released Shikigami here?"

The old man explained that before this incident, there were always strange things in the waters of this generation.

It's like a place that is obviously a shoal, and when fishing, the whole fishing rod is suddenly dragged in - logically there shouldn't be such a big fish in the shoal.

It is also like a ship docked at night. When the next day comes, only one ship capsizes completely, while the other ships are fine.

It is said that someone once forgot something on the boat at night and had to come back in the dark to get it. Unexpectedly, in the darkness, a shadow suddenly stood up in the water, and the shadow was only as tall as a child.

He didn't dare to approach, and he couldn't see what the shadow was in the dark. He could only hear the shadow's low sobbing sound from a distance, as if it was whispering——

"Sunny... Ming..."

Li Qingming shivered when the old man called out his name in a low voice, and Yuan Boya and Mishima Rin were also pale, as if they were in the scene.By the way, you are too good at telling ghost stories, sir!

The old man continued with a hoarse voice: "That's right, what it is calling is Seimei--sama Seimei-sama! It is said that Seimei-sama can use ghosts to create shikigami. I think it must be a failed product made by Seimei-sama. Abandon it, you can only wander in the water, the pitiful look!"

Li Qingming pretended to be calm in the face of Master Boya and Mishima Luna's peeking eyes: "It should be just a word with the same pronunciation, you misunderstood it."

How could Master Qingming do such a thing? It is a frame-up, it is definitely a frame for Master Qingming, right!

Seimei-sama, you wouldn't do such a thing, would you?No way?

Li Qingming could not help swallowing after the appearance of Master Qingming that he had known so far, all kinds of unreliable behaviors following his heart.

It should, no, right?
