[Onmyoji] Deep Sea Girl

Tan Sheng fell into a deep sleep, the big dog gently carried him to the bed in the inner room, and Qiong Lang put the fake puppet Tan Sheng into the crib.

Afterwards, she whispered into the big tengu's ear, and the other party sometimes frowned and sometimes nodded.

Under the light of the candles, the phoenix tail feathers on the knotted rope were radiant and extremely gorgeous.That night, the puppet Tansheng did not show any abnormality.

Jingji usually stays with Tansheng every step of the way to protect her. This puppet she copied with the mirror technique is exactly the same as the real Tansheng in terms of appearance and demeanor.

Under Jing Ji's control, his every move imitated the real Tan Sheng, so that people who had little contact with Tan Sheng could not notice any abnormalities at all.

Tomorrow is a holiday, and the monsters in the Raksha Sea don't need to go to work or school. After discussing privately with Datengu, Qionglang decided to entrust the real Tansheng to Yuzaoqian and Nadeshiko to take care of them.

At dawn, Tan Sheng, who was half asleep and half awake, was sent to the courtyard in front of Yuzao.

Hearing their explanation of their purpose, Yu Zaomae nodded with a sullen face, "Don't worry, leave Tansheng to me and Nadeshiko, there will be absolutely nothing wrong with him."

"Besides, if you need my help with Eight Hundred Bhikkuni's affairs, don't hesitate."

"Senior, rest assured, Datengu and I have already made preparations over there, you just need to help us take care of Tansheng." Qiong Lang said in a low voice, "I only told Qingming about this matter so far. You, remember not to tell others, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding and trouble."

In the entire Raksha Sea, the monsters around her who can be trusted completely can be counted on ten fingers, but Huang and Clam Jing live in the palace and frequently meet outsiders every day, only Yu Zaoqian's family lives It is a quiet independent courtyard.

He has old wounds and needs to recuperate, and monsters in the sea generally don't come to disturb him easily, so they won't notice the existence of Tan Sheng.

In addition, the couple have a pair of children, and they are quite experienced in taking care of cubs, so they can't be more at ease in entrusting Tansheng to them.

Bowing his head and gently kissing Tansheng's sleeping face, Qiong Lang and Da Tiangou left here and returned to the puppet Tansheng's side.

On this day, Puppet Dan eats, eats, sleeps and sleeps, learns to speak beside Shuweng, and chases and plays with Tiaomei, Jinyuji and others. It seems that there is no difference from usual.

Including clam spirits and other monsters, no one noticed the slightest flaw.

The knotted tail feathers on his chest are bright and beautiful, and he hangs it around his neck all the time, as if he loves this beautiful toy very much.

On this day, the port of Luochahai was very lively, and the monsters coming and going were busy carrying various things, all preparing for the wedding the day after tomorrow.

Early in the morning of the day after tomorrow, they were going to Nazhi Mountain in a mighty way, but not everyone could participate in this grand wedding banquet, and there must be reliable monsters sitting in the Raksha Sea.

Yasha took the initiative to ask for orders to stay in Luochahai to guard the enchantment, and Abe Seimei also kept Yaodaoji.

He said that after Yao Dao Ji cut off the big sword in the battle with the soil spider, her demon power was aroused, and she wanted to go out to practice with White Wolf in this area of ​​Chiba County, and hoped that she could take care of her a little bit.

Qiong Lang agreed to him and approved White Wolf's request to temporarily leave the job. The two will stay on the island to assist Yasha, and after they return from Nazhi Mountain, they will go out to practice.

The friend was getting married, Yuan Boya was very excited and dragged the big tengu to chirp in the courtyard, and finally took out a newly made bamboo flute and handed it to the big tengu.

He scratched his head and said with a smile: "This is my newly made bamboo flute, it's for Tan Sheng, it's the same type as the one I gave you before! When I usually play with that little guy, I feel that he likes it." Rhythm is also very interesting, I hope he will like it.”

He started secretly making this bamboo flute the day it broke its shell, until today it was polished and made Yuan Boya feel that it was perfect, so he gave it away with his own hands.

"Will you be stationed in Luochahai in the future?" Yuan Boya's expression showed a hint of emotion, "For human beings, this place is too far away from Kyoto, so it's not easy to come here."

Speaking of this, he laughed again, "But it's okay, if you and Qiong Lang can be together and accompany each other well, I will be happy too."

Big Tengu looked at him, his heart felt warm, and he smiled and said warmly: "What if there is a distance of thousands of miles? The annual meeting we have agreed on will not end because of other things. You just have to wait patiently for me in Kyoto Prefecture." That's it."

Hearing this, Yuan Boya's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help showing a bright smile.

Fox Xiaobai had a full stomach, and was lazily laying on the ground basking in the sun, turning over so that Kagura could scratch his stomach.

"I'm leaving Rakshahai the morning after tomorrow... I feel a little sad when I think that I won't be able to eat the food here in the future."

"But didn't the bhikkhuni learn how to make dumplings before? You must make them for us often when you go back, okay?" Thinking of this, it looked expectantly at the [-] bhikkhuni.

The eight hundred bhikkhuni smiled, thought of something, and said softly: "Maybe after returning to the capital this time, it will be our parting time."

"Hey, why? Is the bhikkhuni going to practice somewhere else?" Kagura raised her eyes in bewilderment and asked her, with a trace of reluctance in her eyes, "Yes... Seimei's matter has been resolved."

"Don't you want me?" Seeing the reluctance in her eyes, the eight hundred bhikkhuni couldn't help but soften her gaze, and said with a chuckle, "But there is an old saying called 'there is always a banquet in the world', and I can't stay by your side all the time. .”

"Happy time is always short..." After saying these words, Eight Hundred Bhikkuni walked into the courtyard and looked at the sunset in the sky.

Although she was smiling, Kagura felt a trace of uncontrollable sadness on her face.

"What happened to Bhikkhuni?" Xiaobai muttered, wagging his tail, "I always feel that she has been weird since last night."

Including today, the eight hundred bhikkhuni also seemed very depressed and dull.

"... She seems to be in a bad mood, let her stay alone for a while, let's not disturb her.",

Eight hundred bhikkhuni looked at the distant sunset with a dazed expression. Maybe after tonight, she would lose every former companion and be alone again.

But this is also her last chance, and she must give it a go.

Gazing at the afterglow of the setting sun for the last time, Bhikkhuni returned to the room alone, gently took out the knotted tail feathers on his chest and muttered to himself.

"I'm sorry, but I promise there will be no danger, you just need to sleep quietly for a while..."

In the palace, in front of the dinner table, the knotted tail feathers on the puppet Tansheng's chest shone indiscernibly for a moment, and the villain in the oyster's arms immediately yawned, rubbed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Hey...why are you sleepy now, I haven't finished my meal yet."

Qiong Lang and Datiangu looked at each other, their faces changed slightly.

"Maybe I'm tired from playing today, it's okay to leave him to me." Qiong Lang put down the bowl and chopsticks, hugged the child from the clam essence with a smile, and walked towards the dormitory.

Ootengu talked with the people around him as usual, until after dinner, he returned to the dormitory as usual.

Mussel Jing originally thought that Tan Sheng might be hungry after waking up, so she deliberately saved a part of the dinner, but Tan Sheng didn't wake up until it was getting late and it was time to go to bed.

She couldn't help being a little worried and wanted to visit the child, but the big tengu stopped her and comforted her a few words, so she could only give up and leave.

It was late at night, and the bedroom was still brightly lit. Qiong Lang and Da Tiangu looked at the scrolls by candlelight in front of the case, and whispered a few words from time to time.

Tan Sheng was sleeping peacefully in the crib, he didn't turn over dishonestly as usual, he was surprisingly well-behaved.

A soft footstep sounded from the corridor outside the door, stepping on the wooden floor, as if something was beating on the heart.

The footsteps became louder and louder, and then disappeared suddenly. The paper door was slowly opened, and an elongated black shadow under the moon was reflected on the ground.

Qiong Lang's hand holding the scroll paused slightly, and the big tengu immediately reacted, frowning sideways and looking at the door.

Then he seemed a little surprised and said, "Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni? You came to see us suddenly at such a late hour, what's the rush?"

There was a bit of displeasure revealed by her rude behavior of opening the door without authorization in the words.

"I'm sorry to bother you at such a late hour." Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni smiled apologetically and said in a gentle voice, "I heard the clam spirit say that Tan Sheng seemed to be feeling a bit unwell at night, so I was worried for a while, so I came to have a look."

"Tansheng? He's just tired from playing during the day, so he went to bed early today." Qiong Lang looked at the child in the crib, and said politely, "Thank you for your concern, but it's getting late, Miss Babai Let's rest early."

But the other party didn't seem to understand the meaning of seeing off the guests in her words, but walked into the room without authorization, bringing the slightest chill of Night Breeze.

"Is it really?"

Babaichuni walked to the bedside of the baby, glanced at Tan Sheng, and smiled at the two of them.

"Master Qionglang doesn't take care of his children carefully? Tansheng may never wake up again..." She stretched out her hand to caress the knotted tail feathers on Tansheng's chest, and said softly with a faint expression, like a ghost in the dark night whispers.

"What do you mean?" Big Tengu immediately stood up, staring at her sharply, his body tensed, and Qiong Lang rushed to the crib with a nervous expression on his face, and hugged Tan Sheng up.

Realizing that Tan Sheng didn't wake up from his deep sleep because of her actions, Qiong Lang immediately seemed to have noticed something strange, quickly took off the knotted tail feathers around his neck and threw it away, and asked in shock and anger: "Did you do that?" What?"

"Lord Qiong Lang, don't worry, it's just a small spell." Eight hundred bhikkhuni saluted slowly and said respectfully, "Only I can lift this spell, otherwise Tan Sheng will fall into a deep sleep forever Can't wake up."

Hearing this, the big tengu looked angry, and the wind blade condensed in his hand was almost thrown towards him uncontrollably.

"Why did you do this?" Qiong Lang hugged Tan Sheng subconsciously, and stared at her with a downcast face, "What do you want?"

"My lords, please don't be nervous." Babai Khuni calmed down again. Seeing the expressions of shock and anger on the two of them, a trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of her mouth, "If it's not a last resort, I don't want to do it either."

After giving Jiesheng to Tan Sheng, she should have done it immediately last night, but her hesitation and hesitation made her drag it until tonight, before she finally made up her mind to do it.

When Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni was in a trance, she didn't notice that on the wall behind her, a huge mirror appeared at some point and turned slowly.

"Now, I just ask Lord Qionglang to do one thing for me. No one can help me with this matter except Lord Qionglang." Babaichuni said, sighing with a hint of helplessness.

Qiong Lang looked at her coldly, frowned and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

At the same time, Qiong Lang's doubts became even worse. The eight hundred monks wanted to die. It is true that the mermaid heart in her hand could help him, but how could she know this?

Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni grasped the token tightly, took a deep breath and said, "I would like to ask Master Qionglang to persuade Hei Qingming for me, and assist him to continue his unfinished plan!"

"And before that, he absolutely cannot integrate with Mr. Abe Seimei."

Hearing this, Qiong Lang and Otengu looked at each other quietly, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, they didn't expect her to mention Qingming.

"Plan?" Qiong Lang's expression changed, and then he blurted out as if thinking of something, "You mean the yin-yang reversal technique?"

"That's right." Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni nodded, smiled slightly and said emotionally, "I didn't expect him to tell the Lord everything. The Lord's position in his heart is really special. I didn't find the wrong person..."

What she said was weird, and the big dog felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, "Why didn't you go to him directly, but put your mind on Tan Sheng?"

"Qingming gave up his previous plan, and now the only person who can persuade him is Mr. Qiong Lang."

Qiong Lang frowned, and asked puzzledly: "What do you want to subvert Yin and Yang? Don't you know that if the Yin world becomes the ruler, human beings will be ruled by monsters?"

"My lord, there is no need to worry. With Mr. Abe Seimei here, Kuro Seimei's ceremony is doomed to fail."

"Then why are you still doing this?"

But the eight hundred bhikkuni refused to go into details, just shook his head and said softly: "My lord, please don't ask so many questions, you just need to do as I tell you."

"I'm sorry for causing some trouble to the upcoming wedding of the two adults, but I guarantee that as long as Hei Qingming returns to Kyoto to start the ceremony, I will definitely make Tan Sheng wake up again."

Seeing that Bhikkhuni refused to say anything, Qiong Lang's face darkened slightly, and he didn't have the patience to continue dealing with her.

"Since you don't want to go into details, why should I agree to help you like this?"

The smile on the eight hundred bhikkhuni's face froze slightly, and he raised his eyes and said: "Don't you care about it? I said that only I can break the spell. If you don't believe it, you can find other onmyojis and witches to try." Give it a try."

"It seems that your lord doesn't believe me now. If that's the case, I won't bother you anymore. Of course... Your lord can continue to cooperate with me at any time."

After the words fell, Datengu squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Do you think you can come and leave whenever you want?"

At this moment, the bhikkhuni suddenly noticed something strange behind him.She looked back subconsciously, and saw a huge mirror on the wall, which reflected the entire room together with her figure.

At this moment, the originally bright surroundings dimmed instantly, Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni was slightly taken aback, and after turning around, she found that the front was bright, but there was an invisible barrier blocking her footsteps.

The chains coming from all directions wrapped around her hands and feet, making her unable to move. Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni quickly realized that she was locked into that pair of mirrors.

Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni's complexion sank slightly, and her respectful voice was somewhat suppressed, "Is Master Qiong Lang so stubborn? Does Master think that locking me up can solve the problem? Well... In short, I am It won't die, it's up to Master Qiong Lang to deal with it."

"I'll wait here until Master Qiong Lang changes his mind, unless you really don't want Tan Sheng to wake up again." After the words fell, she sat on the ground and waited patiently with a serious expression.

Qiong Lang just chuckled, and Babai Khuni was about to continue to say something, when he saw a familiar woman coming out from behind the gauze curtain in front of her, holding Tan Sheng who was sleeping soundly, it was Nadeshiko.

She subconsciously glanced at the other Tan Sheng in Qiong Lang's arms, her heart sank, and her pupils suddenly shrank slightly.

"Today I'm going to trouble senior to take care of this troublesome little guy for me." Qiong Lang took his son who was still bubbling with snot from Fuzi's hand, and put Tan Sheng into the empty crib.

And the Dansheng in her arms just now had disappeared at some point, and turned out to be just a puppet woven by the combination of illusion and demon power.

It's just that the puppet was so realistic that she never noticed anything.

"Tansheng has been very good all day today." Nadeko said softly, then looked at the eight hundred nuns in the jade mirror, her eyes turned cold, "Fortunately, she was discovered in time."

Qiong Lang nodded, seeing that it was getting late, he sent Nadeshiko out of the room.Nadeko knew that she was going to interrogate Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis, so she left without disturbing her.

"It turns out that Master Qiong Lang has already noticed my thoughts."

Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni looked at her steadfastly, and then smiled frustratedly, "In the end, it was a bad move..."

The last desperate effort failed to grasp the hope. At this moment, her heart had fallen into a death-like silence, and she slowly closed her eyes, as if she had lost the strange peace of breathing.

Seeing the despair revealed on her calm face, Qiong Lang's eyes were complicated for a moment.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

The inquiry sounded, but the room was still dead silent.

Big Tengu frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "She won't die, what should I do? Just keep her locked up like this?"

Hearing this, the eight hundred bhikkhuni's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then returned to calm.

Anyway, she can't get death, so what difference does it make to her whether she locks it up or not?

Qiong Lang shook her head lightly, and she looked at Babaichuni with a complicated expression, feeling a little moved in her heart for a moment.

"If you make things clear, I might consider letting you out."

Hearing this, Ootengu looked at her in surprise, pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

The tragedy of eternal life of the eight hundred bhikkhuni is certainly pitiful, but she put her mind on Tan Sheng, which is an act he cannot forgive no matter what.What's more, if she regains her freedom, it's hard to guarantee that she won't do it again. What is Qiong Lang thinking?

Although a little annoyed, Datengu knew that Qiong Lang must have her reasons for doing this, so he didn't make a sound to disturb.

The eight hundred bhikkhuni still did not make a sound, this time, Qiong Lang stepped into the jade mirror alone.

Slowly walking to the eight hundred bhikkhuni who fell on the ground, Qiong Lang looked down at her, and said abruptly: "The reason why you did this is just to seek death, right? Whoever eats mermaid meat will get a mermaid family." the curse of having an immortal body."

"Do you want to know how to break the curse?"

In the dim mirror, Bhikkuni Baba moved her fingers slightly and slowly opened her eyes. Although she has an immortal body, her eyes are like a pool of stagnant water, lifeless.

Qiong Lang took out something from her wide cuff, and as she spread her palm, a strange golden fruit exuding a tempting aroma appeared in front of Babai Bikuni.

"This is the mermaid's heart." Qiong Lang looked at her and said quietly, "As long as you eat the mermaid's heart, you can break the curse of eternal life."

As soon as the words fell, Babaichuni suddenly opened her eyes wide. She stared at the strange heart, her face turned pale, and all the blood faded.

She had an intuition that Qiong Lang did not lie to her.

I never thought that the dream that I have pursued for nearly 800 years is now close at hand, but far away.

The blood all over her body seemed to freeze in an instant, making her brain dull and unable to think, she could only stare blankly at the golden heart.

Qiong Lang looked at her devastated appearance, and the other party's bewildered eyes were reflected in her eyes, which made her soften her voice.

"You tell me everything, and I will give you this heart."

Hearing this, Babai Bhikuni finally suddenly raised his head and looked at her in disbelief.

"Are...are you telling the truth?"

"Of course I didn't lie to you."

Eight hundred bhikkhuni stared at her blankly, her body began to tremble slightly, she never thought that after she attacked Tan Sheng, Qiong Lang would say such words.

"Why do you want Qingming to perform the yin and yang reversal technique, but also want this ritual to fail?"

The eight hundred bhikkhuni paused slightly, and his hoarse voice rang out in the mirror.

"I have lived for nearly 800 years, and I have been looking for a way to destroy this body every day. Finally, one day, my divination skills were improved, and I did a divination for myself, and finally learned that the body that can kill Who is the person who killed me..."

Pausing for a moment, Yabaichuni continued: "That person is Abe Seimei. Since then, I have been waiting for him in the Phoenix Forest near Kyoto, waiting for his birth, and waiting for him to meet me. The wait lasted for 30 years... ..."

"There is no power in this world that can kill me. The one who can compete with the power of mermaid flesh may be the former Lord of the Underworld... But he is also immersed in the seal now. I have reached an agreement with it, as long as If I can lift the seal for him, he will help me destroy this body."

Taking a deep breath, her voice began to tremble a little, which was the excitement of hopeless people gaining hope.

"Not everyone can easily break the seal, but I know that Abe Seimei, who has extraordinary talent, can do it. This is consistent with my divination results. I firmly believe that the Lord of the Underworld did not lie to me. So I made up my mind to break its seal."

So, when Abe Seimei split his body in two, she found Kuro Seimei and deceived him.

On the one hand, she lurks beside Abe Seimei as their partner, but in fact, as an undercover agent, she secretly assists Seimei to perform the yin-yang reversal technique.On the other hand, she is also helping Abe Seimei and his party to chase Seimei's footsteps and prevent him from performing the Yin-Yang reversal technique.

The ritual must be initiated, but it must fail.

Because only when the yin and yang realms are reversed twice, will the cracks in the yin realm be truly formed, thereby destroying the seal of Yamato no Orochi.

"Do you know what the consequences of doing this are?"

"I know it's selfish, but sorry...I can't take this anymore."

She eagerly longed for the coming of death, and could no longer wait any longer. The painful torment had haunted her for hundreds of years, and she had long been unable to maintain her sanity in order to get rid of it.

She was panting heavily, her expression twisted to the point of horror that she couldn't hide her painful expression at all. This might be Cang's true appearance under her usual calm and indifferent appearance.

Seeing her like this, Qiong Lang's eyes trembled slightly, and then asked again in a deep voice: "Since Qingming is no longer willing to do that, what can you do if you force me?"

"No, only Master Qiong Lang can make him change his mind."

"Why do you think I can persuade him?"

The eight hundred bhikkhuni shook her head, and after a moment of panting, she looked at her steadily, "Because Master Qionglang is different in Qingming's heart."

"Didn't your lord perceive it? You have a position in Seimei's heart that no one can surpass."

Qiong Lang froze, looking at her faintly.

"As long as you say it, he will definitely do it."

After finishing speaking, the face of the big tengu outside the mirror was as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant, and the fan in his hand was crushed to pieces.
