[Comprehensive] Winter Feast

When night fell, the Onmyouji led the warriors and the terrifying female goblins on an ox cart and headed for the palace.

Yae looked at Abe Seimei, and then at Yuan Hiroya. The former had a calm expression, with a faint smile on his mouth, while the latter had a stiff expression, showing a grumpy and embarrassed look after being watched too much.

Yae asserted: "You speak ill of me behind my back!"

"It's not a bad word." Abe Seimei's attitude towards Yae did not change at all, "We just said that Yae is really cute."

Yae looked at the expressions of Abe Seimei and Yuan Hiroya in turn: "That's right." She started with these three words, "After all, I was buried alive."

Yuan Boya sat up straight suddenly - he almost jumped up, his head hit the roof of the car with a bang, but he didn't feel the pain at all, and asked Yae with wide-eyed eyes: "Did you hear that?!"

And then: "What did you say?!"

"I didn't hear anything. But Boya, everything you think in your heart is written on your face."

Yae answered calmly, his body swayed slightly with the swaying of the bullock cart, he looked like a child whose center of gravity was unstable, but the expression on his face was completely childish, calm and frighteningly calm.

She seemed to be telling someone else's story: "The bribed servants mixed poison in my diet, so I fell into a coma and gradually died. But I didn't stop breathing, and there was always the possibility of being rescued. What’s more, it’s the possibility of being discovered. So they couldn’t wait any longer, and transported me to a remote forest and buried me under a cherry blossom tree.”

"When I was buried, I was still breathing."

"This, this, this is really..." Yuan Boya was too shocked to speak.

Abe Seimei narrowed his eyes like a fox: "How did you know you were still breathing?" Yae at that time should have lost consciousness.

"Because in fact I am not far from death," Yae gently raised his hand, "the soul has already floated out."

At that time, Yae stretched out her transparent fingers and felt her weak breathing.

She didn't stop those people from digging dirt on her in vain, but just watched and listened quietly.

Look at their faces, look at their expressions, listen to their confession to the dying, and the evasion of "blame someone, they are just following orders and have to".

"Anyway, I'm a monster now, and the laws of the world can't control me. I just said it. I don't want to marry that person at all." The ox cart was heading towards the palace, Yae deliberately concealed the address, "I express I mean it, but everyone scolds me for not knowing good and bad.”

"She wanted to go, I can really cooperate with her and fulfill her. But she thought I was showing off, jealousy drove her crazy, so I died." Yazhong spread her hands lightly.

Abe Seimei suddenly asked such a question: "Haven't you thought about revenge?"

His words made Yuan Boya's face change again.

Thinking of Yae's words just now, the young samurai tensed the muscles on his face, afraid of being seen, but his unnatural expression itself was the biggest flaw.

Yae habitually glanced at Yuan Boya's face to find the answer: "Has she been retaliated against? I don't know much about the stories that happened in the palace. With the enchantment set up by your onmyoji, it is difficult for monsters outside to get in."

Yae didn't try to scare that cousin, she couldn't get in without the onmyoji's permission.

Yuan Boya's expression suddenly relaxed.

Yae asked excitedly, "What happened to her?"

The little girl's face was full of anticipation and curiosity. She yearned for bad news from others, which made the straightforward Yuan Boya unhappy, but he couldn't find a reason to blame her.

"She's crazy." Yuan Boya answered her dryly, with a stiff expression, "Before she went crazy, she told everyone she saw Yae when she was young."

Abe Seimei asked, "Are you happy?"

"Hmm..." Yae put her chin on her head and made a thoughtful expression, "I won't know if I'm happy until I see what she looks like crazy."

Abe Seimei sighed in front of her: "Women are really scary."

"Once one person becomes scary, the others have to become scary too."

Yae didn't have any intention of refuting. The conversation between her and Abe Seimei made Yuan Boya didn't know what expression to make, so she could only keep her face stiff.

The gate of the palace was not closed, and there was a night watchman wandering nearby. It was Yuan Boya's colleagues who were waiting for the arrival of Onmyoji Abe Seimei.

Yuan Boya jumped out of the bullock cart, and he hurried up to meet him: "Is Master Abe Seimei here?"

Yuan Boya nodded at him: "Thank you."

As he spoke, Seimei Abe got out of the bullock cart.

The samurai looked eagerly at the famous onmyoji, but saw that he didn't notice his gaze. Instead, he stretched out his hands to the carriage of the bullock cart, and shouted with an intriguing smile, "Yae."

Yae?

Under the night, the samurai's face turned pale.

The night watch is the most boring. A group of men who are not from the royal family gather in the palace, and what they talk about is mostly anecdotes in the palace, and Yae is one of them.

The samurai saw that a pair of white and delicate girls' hands stretched out from behind the curtain of the car. The young girl in a pink and white kimono lifted the curtain with one arm in a graceful posture of a girl, and leaned out from the car with her head down. body.

She saw the onmyoji's outstretched hands, and a clear smile appeared on his childish face, with an adult and teasing meaning.

Under the moonlight, the girl's fair and delicate face revealed an ominous paleness, and the samurai felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the sky.

Yamon opened his arms generously, allowing Abe Seimei to hug him down.

Two warriors fighting: "..." He thought of the chatter during the night watch. The nobles in the palace woke up every night and saw the young Yae laughing inexplicably. I kept looking at the girl's weird smile until dawn before I was relieved.

"Bo, Mr. Boya...I'll go to watch the night first, and I'll leave the matter of thieves to you and Mr. Onmyoji!" Said the samurai, and ran away avoiding it.

Abe Seimei bent down and put Yae on the ground: "Can such a courage be able to watch the night in the palace?"

"There are a lot of rumors about ghosts in the palace, but except this time, they are harmless." Yuan Boya replied, "Let's go, I will take you to the room of swords."

The palace is full of enchantments made by Yin and Yang. Even with Abe Seimei leading the way, Yae still feels dizzy. She said: "I'm about to throw up."

Abe Seimei expressed surprise: "Oh, do monsters also vomit?"

Yae: "..." How angry, don't monsters even have the right to vomit?

With harsh words on his lips, the onmyoji in white hunting clothes stretched out his hand to Yae gently: "Close your eyes and follow me."

Yae unceremoniously took his outstretched hand. Abe Seimei's fingers were slender and fair, but it was actually a man's hand, with hard bones and the warmth of a human being.

As soon as Yae closed her eyes, she felt her other hand being held by Yuan Boya, and she opened her eyes and looked over.

Yuan Boya looked forward: "Close your eyes, don't be afraid of falling."

The samurai's hand was much hotter than that of the onmyoji, and the strength of holding her hand was also much stronger than that of the onmyoji.

Yae looked to the left, then to the right, closed her eyes with a smile, and shook her two hands at the same time: "I feel like a little princess."

Yuan Boya was depressed because of her words: "You are."

Yae deliberately misinterpreted: "That's right, who is not a little princess."

Abe Seimei just smiled, raised the corner of his mouth to undo another seal against youkai, and led Yae to walk over.

The Room of Swords has arrived.

Yae looked at the behemoth in front of him: "It's really a... living room."

Nearby are palaces that store treasures. Except for the sword room, which looks like a house for people to live in from the outside, the doors and windows of the other palaces are different from the residences, obviously designed to preserve objects.

In this way, the sword room is particularly special.

Antiquities with a long history have gone through the years, tossed and turned in the hands of countless people, collected, admired and admired. Desire, touch, and words have turned into powers similar to god worship and remain in the antiquities, making them flash a weak but mellow spirit. Power is brilliant.

The wooden walls of the palace cut off the faint firefly light from the ancient objects, but they couldn't stop their aura.There are countless enchantments in the palace, but with Abe Seimei's actions, Yae can smell the real taste in the air, luxurious and wasteful, noble and decadent, this is the special atmosphere created by the high-ranking humans.

However, when we got here, the air changed completely. The smell of ancient objects filled every inch of space. It smelled similar to Ichimoren Shrine. It had a faint fishy smell of decayed and weathered ancient things—like the smell of soil washed out by rainwater. , and the broad and fresh sky after the rain.

The breath of ancient objects is majestic and distinct, but it comes in a very natural posture, making you feel it, unable to resist it, awe of it, but not afraid of it.

Yuan Boya opened the door of the sword room with the key.

In the darkness, the fluorescent light was weak and steady, as if there was nothing there, outlining the outlines of swords and swords.

A cold and murderous breath came over his face.

Yae hid behind Abe Seimei.

Abe Seimei shook his sleeves, and a barrier was completed silently, covering Yae's body: "Yae, which one is the knife we ​​are looking for?"

Yae came out from behind Abe Seimei, and the two men stepped into the sword room first.

Onmyoji's barrier blocked the breath of the sword for her, and the oppressive feeling brought by the blood-stained weapon still squeezed her unscrupulously.

Yae trembled uncontrollably, but this time she didn't run away acting coquettishly with the child's appearance, but used the cover of the wide cuffs of the kimono to clasp her hands tightly to calm herself down.

She released her demon power to cover up the existence of the two humans, and then she spoke. There was an unnatural tremor suppressed in the voice of the little monster, but there was not much fear and awe in her tone.

Yae with a straight back asked, "Demon Saber Girl, are you there?"
