[Onmyoji] Deep Sea Girl

In the brief silence, Jiu Tun spoke first, he coughed lightly and laughed, "Are you sober?"

Qiong Lang nodded and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you wait for me for so long."

It was originally agreed to bid farewell to Dajiangshan early this morning, but because of drunkenness, it was delayed until the sun was rising.

Her smile was a bit shocking, Huang Jian was used to her appearance in women's clothing and it was normal, the remaining monsters couldn't help being stunned for a moment.When Qiong Lang was dressed as a man, he was as pleasing to the eye as Lanzhi Yushu, but now he is still glamorous after recovering his appearance.

The eyebrows are a little thinner, and the red lips are not dotted but red. Although the contrast between the two outfits is slightly large, it can still be judged from the temperament that it is a person.

"You concealed it perfectly, but you fooled me." Jiu Tun glanced at her up and down, folded his arms and raised his eyebrows.

Qiong Lang laughed twice, "Senior..."

"Why are you called Senior?" Jiu Tun stopped what she was about to say with a wave of his hand, there seemed to be a little bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes, "You obviously called me brother before, why did you become unfamiliar after waking up once drunk?"

Hearing this, Qiong Lang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but hooked his lips and called out with a smile: "Brother."

Seeing that Jiu Tun didn't seem to care about her concealing her identity at all, Qiong Lang immediately relaxed, and the last worry in his heart disappeared without a trace, and his expression became more natural.

Qiong Lang blinked at Da Tengu calmly, with a hint of gratitude in his expression. The latter had been staring at her intently, but she suddenly looked at him, immediately giving Da Tengu a sense of voyeurism. The feeling of grabbing a bag.

He subconsciously withdrew his gaze, and there were some imperceptible blush on the side of his face.

Her smiling icy blue eyes glowed with hope, and her gentle and intoxicating voice made people unconsciously let go of their guards and aroused a bit of affection.

Jiu Tun seemed to be very happy, he let out a big laugh and stroked his chin, "Although the brat suddenly became a little girl, it feels even better to have a younger sister..."

Especially for such a very beautiful and powerful younger sister, why does she suddenly feel quite happy.

Ibaraki couldn't sleep all night last night. Now that he saw Qiong Lang for the first time, he was still in a state of trance. He was keenly aware of the interaction between her and Otengu, and somehow a strange feeling rose in his heart.

And Qiong Lang was only focused on talking to Jiu Tun, and almost never looked at him, feeling depressed for some reason.

"Alas..." Qiong Lang shook his head and sighed, holding up his skirt and sitting beside Huang. joke."

"Where's Xingxiong?" Qiong Lang asked, scanning the hall again to confirm that Xingxiong boy was indeed not here, and didn't hide in some corner of the room secretly.

"That guy hid somewhere, and he couldn't find anyone after searching for a long time, so just leave him alone." Jiu Tun rubbed his forehead, obviously he got a headache when he mentioned Xingxiong Boy.

"It's not wrong for you to do so. You don't need to feel guilty. I think you are very foresight, otherwise that guy might do more stupid things."

Thinking of what Hoshikuma Doji did to the flower and bird roll, Jiu Tun twitched the corners of his mouth, "He has done a lot of disrespectful things to you. I originally wanted to find him out and apologize to you, but that guy seems to have slipped out overnight. Great rivers and mountains."

With Jiu Tun's ability, the idiot would be found wherever he hid, but no one could be found in the entire ghost town, obviously he was no longer in the mountains and rivers.

Hearing this, Qiong Lang couldn't laugh or cry, it seems that Xingxiong Boy is determined to avoid her.

It can't be seen that this little fool is chasing after Huaniaojuan's butt every day, but he is actually such an innocent guy, and he can be regarded as a strange flower among the ghosts who have always been indulgent.

"He should be glad that he ran fast." Huang couldn't help but said with a straight face, his fist was still itching.

"Forget it, it's just a trivial matter, let him go." Qiong Lang shook his head, and habitually stroked the long hair combed together behind Fu Huang's back to comfort him. Take it to heart.

Although he is a bit of a bear, it is quite interesting to tease.

This scene fell into the eyes of Ootengu, and his hand holding the teacup tightened subconsciously, but when he thought of the relationship between the two siblings, he suddenly loosened it.

Before leaving, Qiong Lang and his party said goodbye to Jiu Tun for the last time, but Ibaraki seemed to be absent-minded all the time, feeling a little lost.

The complicated look at her made Qiong Lang feel a little nervous, but after feeling that the look was not as presumptuous and hot as before, she was relieved.

Fortunately, the early showdown did not lead to any bad consequences.

According to the agreement, Jiu Tun packed some well-known special medicinal materials and plant seeds such as demon fruit in Dajiang Mountain into several cloth bags, and put them in small boxes together.

Qiong Lang planned to take these things back to Luochahai to try to grow one, and study the habits and uses of these plants.

In addition to what Kaishuten gave her, when she passed Shouyue Village on the way back, she also planned to go to Nachi Mountain to bring back some crop seeds in the territory of the big tengu.

Shuten and Ibaraki personally sent their group to the entrance of the ghost town before stopping.

"Let the stupid dog take you the rest of the way." Jiu Tun waved his hand and said loudly, "Qiong Lang, remember to go back to Dajiangshan in a month to drink with me!"

Qiong Lang turned his head, raised his eyebrows and smiled at the two of them, "I will never forget it!"

Waving goodbye, they drifted away from the ghost town. Ibaraki stared blankly at the backs of her, Yimulian and the others who were talking and laughing and never looked back until they were blurred until they disappeared.

Jiu Tun put his big hand on his shoulder, and complained: "Go back, what are you doing stupidly? I don't know where that idiot Hoshiguma went, wait for him to roll back to see if I'm not ruthless." beat him!"

Ibaraki came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "He won't run far, and after a while he will know he's back."

It's rare for Shuten not to dislike him, Ibaraki should be happy because of his best friend's actions, but for some reason there is an incomprehensible sense of loss in his heart.

Qiong Lang has been away for about three days. Without her and her friends, Jiu Tun really feels that Da Jiangshan is much deserted. The most important thing is that there is no one who knows wine like Qiong Lang to discuss with him. Wine and chat.

But to his surprise, Ibaraki, who usually likes to follow him closely, seems to have recovered a lot recently.

"That guy has been acting weird for the past two days... Forget it, it would be better if he didn't come to pester me." Such Ibaraki made Shuten a little happy, and finally no one chased after him to ask for an appointment to compete.

Xingxiong Boy didn't return to Dajiang Mountain with a listless face until the third day after Qiong Lang left. As soon as he approached the palace, Jiu Tun immediately sensed the evil spirit and caught him in the peach forest in the back mountain.

"You kid, do you still know how to come back?" Jiu Tun said grimly, his fists were creaking, and he slowly approached Xingxiong Boy.

The other party's warm-looking blond hair was in a mess, and there was a lot of dirt and dust on his face and face. He ran outside and hid in a corner for three days.

Xingxiong Boy shrank his neck, looked around and said, "She...she has already left?"

"Qiong Lang?" Jiu Tun raised his eyebrows, "I left with Stupid Dog and the others three days ago."

Hearing this, Xingxiong Boy heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help showing a hint of joy on his face, "That's good... That's good... It scared me to death..."

"However, when it was time to see you off, you actually defied my uncle's will and escaped secretly! You have grown wings, won skin and become strong, right?"

"Ouch... wait, don't hit me!" Hoshikuma Doji ate a chestnut, and hid behind Ibaraki in a panic.

"Don't hit you? It's fine if you don't hit you." Jiu Tun withdrew his fist and said with disgust, "In two days, you will go to Luochahai to apologize to Qiong Lang yourself."

"What!!!" Hoshiguma jumped eight feet high and wailed, "No way, Lord Shuten! What's the difference between you and asking me to die!"

Ibaraki, who was in a trance, dragged Xingxiong Boy behind him with disgust, and said in a deep voice: "Qiong Lang has never bothered with you."

"But that Huang will kill me!" Xingxiong boy continued to shout with horror on his face. That night in the hot spring, the other party's eyes wanted to pierce him, "And the dragon beside Yimulian will eat me horns! How can I beat them alone!"

"My uncle can't tolerate your rudeness to guests. Your rudeness is my poor hospitality." Jiu Tun folded his arms and raised his eyebrows, "You choose yourself, go to Luochahai in person To make an apology, let's compete with my uncle."

When Xingxiong heard this, he immediately stared at Jiu Tun with big eyes, "What is there to choose... Either way, it's death..."

"Then you want to fight with my uncle?"

"No, no, no!" Seeing Jiu Tun approaching him, Hoshiguma Doji suddenly felt his internal organs start to twist and ache.

"Okay then, it seems that you have already made a decision, go see Qiong Lang obediently in a few days."

"I do not……"

"You have no choice, even if you don't go to me, I will let Ibaraki pressure you to go." Jiu Tun said with a serious face, and would never admit that he wanted to pack up and clean up the two brown candies and troubles Go out to make this decision.

"Huh?" Ibaraki looked at Shuten in surprise, but did not refute.

After not seeing Qiong Lang for several days, he always felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.If Jiu Tun had issued such a mission to him in the past, he might have felt a little reluctant, but at this moment, not only was he not disappointed, but he was still looking forward to it.

Hearing this sentence, Xingxiong Boy knew that this trip was unavoidable, and immediately screamed like a pig, "Why!!!"

"But I'm really afraid of Qiong Lang!" He said with a sad face, and when he mentioned the word "Qiong Lang", his body trembled, "I have grown up so much, and I have never been so afraid except for my deceased mother. Second woman."

Qiong Lang can be said to have subverted Xingxiong Boy's previous impressions and cognitions of "weakness and charm" of Yaozu women.

Seeing that he resisted Qiong Lang so much, Ibaraki felt vaguely angry and rebuked, "Qiong Lang is both powerful in demon power and broad-minded, what's so scary!"

Hoshikuma Boy moved his lips, but he didn't dare to refute.

He has never seen someone as bad as her in his life!

If he had a big heart, why would he intentionally piss him off in front of Huaniaojuan?How could he kick him down the mountain with a smile?

The most important thing is that his own mother never saw his naked butt, but Qiong Lang did. This incident really made him ashamed to speak.

"Yeah, I wanted to find a chance to have a fight with Qiong Lang." Jiu Tun agreed, but he was interrupted halfway, but he never found a suitable opportunity, "Ibaraki, do you think Qiong Lang's How does your strength compare to mine?"

Hearing Jiu Tun asked about Qiong Lang, Ibaraki Ning brows pondered for a while, and then said seriously: "If it is only based on her previous performance, it is far inferior to your best friend, but she obviously didn't try her best, and she still kept a lot of things. thing."

"I'm not sure if Qiong Lang can beat you if she goes all out, but the resourcefulness she shows is above you and me, and it's not easy to win her."

Xingxiong boy sat on the ground and listened to the two talking about the fighting skills with Qiong Lang as if no one was watching, and suddenly felt a stomachache.

However, when Qiong Lang was mentioned, Ibaraki's interest seemed to increase a lot. After a long time, he sighed: "I didn't enjoy myself last time, and I always wanted to fight her again."

Speaking of this, his eyes lit up, it was a good opportunity to go to Rakshahai.

Afterwards, he felt somewhat relieved.In the past few days after Qiong Lang left, he always felt that there was something missing in his heart. Now it seems... Maybe it's the fighting blood in his body that is unwilling to be lonely?

The matter of the return visit was decided like this, Ibaraki suppressed a bit of anticipation under his usual expression, Hoshiguma Doji looked numb, and Shuten was secretly happy.

This is perfect, and neither of them has time to bother him.

Besides Qiong Lang, as soon as she returned to Shouyue Village, she immediately went to see Mu Mei.

Relying on the nourishment of the spring water donated by Shuten, the Yushenmu has slowly pulled out green shoots from the burnt black dead branches. Although the enchantment has been slightly affected, the damage is not great. The sacred tree was protected, and a new shrine was built around it.

It's just that the wood charm in the imperial god tree is still gone, and now she is placed in Nazhi Mountain, and is looked after by Gu Huo Niao.

This is a little girl with short red hair, khaki eyes, round face, only as big as Qiong Lang's palm, like a young child.

She still can't speak, can't stand up, and can't walk yet. At the moment, she is being looked after by Gu Huo Niao, and she has learned a few simple words during the days when Daitengu and his party are away.

Seeing Big Tengu and Yimulian approaching, Xiao Mumei immediately writhed a few times from Gu Huo Niao's arms with an excited expression.

She could feel that the man with pale blond hair and black wings on the left was the man who planted the god tree more than 80 years ago and took good care of it to give birth to himself.

"Papa--" she called inarticulately, and under Gu Huo's persevering eyes, she turned into a ball of green light and flew into the arms of the big tengu.

The man who seemed cold and arrogant and not easy to get close to showed a gentle expression at this moment, stretched out a slender finger to touch Xiao Mumei's forehead, and the other party immediately narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Afterwards, her extremely slender legs were able to stand up tremblingly, and she threw herself towards Yimulian again, with the same "papa".

Mu Mei still clearly remembers this man who has cared for her for many years.

Yimulian's expression moved, and he said softly: "What a good boy."

"Look, this is Qiong Lang." Mu Mei pointed at Qiong Lang with her palm up, and said in a warm voice, "It was she who traveled a hundred miles away to fetch spring water for you in Dajiang Mountain. You should thank her."

Qiong Lang has been staring at her intently from the sidelines, and has long wanted to touch this cute little thing.

The next moment, Mu Mei was stunned for a moment, then frowned as if she was racking her brains thinking about something, no one disturbed her.

She looked at Gu Huo Niao, then at Qiong Lang, and then her eyes lit up and she shouted, "Oh Karsang!"

"Ding", Mu Mei's favorability towards you has increased by 100 points, and the current favorability is 100.

For this woman who saved her and gave her a second life, Mu Mei unabashedly expressed her love for her.

She turned into a ball of shining green light, circling around Qiong Lang non-stop, rubbing against her hand for a while, and touching her face for a while, as if she was kissing.

"It turns out that I was just thinking about how to call me." Qiong Lang rubbed her forehead dumbfounded, she had a daughter before she became her husband.

"Little ghost, don't bark." Only Huang frowned slightly, and warned softly, just now Mu Mei called Yimulian and Datengu his father.

Mu Mei trembled, and turned into a little girl again, sitting in Qiong Lang's hand, looking at Huang with some fear.

Qiong Lang held her tenderly, and said to Huang: "Don't scare her!"

Such a close contact with Mu Mei made her feel extremely comfortable, as if she had a grass with extremely tenacious vitality in her hand, swaying happily in the summer wind and warm sun, making everyone around her feel the breath of life. infected.

Huang pursed his lips, turned his head slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He was picked up by Qiong Lang and raised in Luochahai since he was a child, and he has long been used to the inseparability of two people. At this moment, there is an extra wood charm, which makes him feel like his most cherished treasure has been snatched away.

When he first came to Rakshahai, the little girl Pearl would always stare at him angrily, and now he finally realized the same feeling as Pearl.

Datengu's eyes turned around Qionglang and Yimulian's faces calmly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.

"It's getting late, go back to the courtyard to rest first, I will help you prepare the things you want, and you can bring them back to Luochahai tomorrow morning." While talking, the big tengu led Qiong Lang and the others.

Hearing this, Qiong Lang hurriedly stopped him, "It's okay, we're not in a hurry. You've been tired all day today, so don't stay up late to prepare these things, let's rest early together."

"It's okay." Big Tengu shook his head, and said in a cold voice, "It won't take much time, and besides, I still have some things to deal with."

After settling them down, the big tengu left Qiong Lang with a fading back.

She shook her head secretly. It seems that this person's hidden attribute is a workaholic, even more desperate than her.

Under the darkness of night, Qiong Lang and Hua Niao Juan took a rest in the same room after taking a bath.

"My lord, it feels very comfortable here." Huaniaojuan whispered to her with her head propped up.

Qiong Lang nodded, Nazhi Mountain is completely different from Dajiang Mountain in style, she learned something from Huang, and now that she is here in person, she has a deeper understanding.

Nachi Mountain is a bit far from the nearest human towns, Nara Prefecture and Wakayama Prefecture, and is not as prosperous as Oeyama, which is close to Kyoto.But under the governance of the big tengu, it is quiet and leisurely, with a sense of cosiness and comfort.

There are many different monster races in the territory, and the Tengu family is the head of the territory.But the wolves and the bird monsters such as Guhuo Bird and Yijin Zhentian also perform their duties, and the place is clean and tidy, and everyone lives in an orderly manner.

Compared with the group of monsters in Dajiangshan who made troubles with onmyoji and witches and other monsters when they disagreed with each other, and beat them to death, the monsters here are more kind to humans, and are closer to the style of Rakshahai.

It's just that Qiong Lang vaguely felt that maybe the big tengu had been using a management method that was closer to humans to rule this territory, and the monsters were a little dull and suppressed their nature.

It is very tiring to manage monsters like this to be a ruler, Qiong Lang has a deep understanding.

But the effect is also obvious. Humans in the vicinity rarely conflict with monsters, and most of them do not violate the river water.Compared with Dajiangshan, the relationship between the two is much better, and there is a feeling of quiet time.

After chatting with Huaniaojuan for a while, they closed their eyes and rested.

At this time, the lights in another study room were still brightly lit.

Ootengu looked at a human-like woman dressed as a priest, and the atmosphere between the two was silent and dignified.

There was a wave of spiritual power in the air, and a line of words like this floated up.

Has your lord confirmed that?

"That's right, I've got the answer I want." The voice that couldn't hear the emotion sounded, and the big tengu stared directly at Liang Qi, and there was no emotion in the blue eyes.

This look made Liang Qi's heart beat a beat slower, and there was a panic in his heart, and he suddenly remembered the night when Daitengu went to Dajiangshan.

"Liang Qi, I met a person whose voice is very similar to yours back then."

Yeah?What a coincidence.

"Liangqi, she is a monster of Rakshahai, but at the moment in Mount Nazhi, I have to confirm one thing."

monster?

"Liangqi, Yu Shenmu is fine."

……

"Liangqi... don't you have anything to say to me?"

My lord...be careful on the road.

Hearing the words, Datengu turned his head and looked straight at her, with disappointment and anger hidden deep in his eyes, he closed them, and when he opened them again, there was no emotion left.

Even the last disappointment and anger disappeared.

Liang Qi was dazed and immersed in the recollection, Daitengu's next words brought her back to reality, made her blood coagulate, and her breathing seemed to disappear.

"I saw her."

"After so many years, do you still want to continue to pretend?" Big Tengu folded his arms and said in a low voice with downcast eyes, as if he had calmly accepted the fact.

Liang Qi still did not speak.

"I also know that you did the thing about the god tree. Gu Huo Niao found the puppet talisman paper near Shouyue Village. You are the mage in the human mouth, right?"

She straightened her back stiffly for a long time before slowly turning around and asking in a somewhat hoarse voice: "My lord... since when did you start to doubt me?"

The tone of this sentence is a bit weird, which is caused by not speaking for too long.If she hadn't occasionally talked to herself when no one was around, she might not be able to speak now.

"I will take you back to the third year of Mount Nachi, the moment when you first learned the bamboo flute."

Hearing this, Liang Qi's pupils shrank slightly, "It turns out that the lord has already started to doubt me so early? Then... where did you find the flaw?"

"Liangqi, don't you know? The ballad of the sea I play is based on the tune you once sang."

"No... that's not what you sang at all..."

Hearing this sentence, Liang Qi's entire face turned pale. It turns out that at that time, she who thought she was pretending to be flawless had already shown her flaws.

That was the third year after she was brought back by mistake as Qiong Lang. In the grief of losing her relatives and friends, and in the horror of facing all kinds of monsters, she barely recovered her spirits.Becoming a child hidden by the gods, with a lifespan as long as that of monsters, Ootengu began to teach her the onmyoji of human beings himself.

But after that spring afternoon when the cherry blossoms were flying, Ootengu suddenly stopped teaching her himself, but handed her over to Yatengu, and even met less.

Datengu often plays the flute, and always plays the same tune. Liangqi, who admires him, just learned how to use spiritual power into words to talk to others, so he can't wait to express that he also wants to learn flute music with Datengu.

Daitengu didn't agree or refuse, but still played the flute intently. The sound of the flute was far and quiet, which made the listener happy, and his heart gradually calmed down.

Waking up from the sound of the flute, recalling the strange but familiar tune, Liangqi used spiritual power to communicate with him.

"Listening to adults playing the flute every day, I always feel familiar. Is it the ballad of the sea?"

Datengu suddenly squeezed the flute tightly, and looked at her fixedly, with a hint of strangeness in his blue eyes.

Seeing that he didn't deny it, Liang Qi continued to write: "But my lord is wrong, that's not how you sing the Ballad of the Sea, your lord has made many mistakes in many places."

After writing this sentence, the actions of Liangqi's subordinates stopped abruptly, because the expression of Ootengu suddenly became very strange.

On that spring afternoon, the sun was just right, and the cherry blossoms were dancing in the courtyard, but those eyes, which were as beautiful as the sky, looked like frozen lakes.

The air was very warm, but Ootengu seemed to be frozen, and the eyes that looked at her were also cold.

Liang Qi couldn't help shaking slightly, did her offend make Otengu angry?

grown ups?

Looking at the back of the big tengu who suddenly turned and left, Liang Qi almost couldn't help calling out, but her rationality made her swallow the call into her throat.

She can't speak, otherwise she will lose everything she has now.
