[Onmyoji] Deep Sea Girl

"Does Master know Sister Qiong Lang?" Bai Tongzi looked curiously at the adults.

Gui Shihei was the first to come back to his senses, touched the hat on his head and smiled apologetically, "Ah...sorry, I was so abrupt. Master Qiong Lang has never met our brothers, but we have heard of your name in the underworld." .”

Although he has always looked carefree and very loose, at this moment he is quietly examining Qiong Lang.

More than a little heard?In the past hundred years, he and the ghost messenger Bai have met Qiong Lang countless times.

The first time I saw Qiong Lang, she was still a few years old human child.Not long after he became a new ghost envoy back then, Zeng and ghost envoy Bai, accompanied by a judge, went to a village by the seaside of Raksha to guide the dead, and then accidentally discovered Qiong Lang.

From the first moment the judge perceived her, he said that she "jumped out of reincarnation", and she was the one who could see through the cause and effect and ending of fate.

After the death of human beings, the soul is released from the body, and they will be led to the underworld by them.The judge is in charge of the book of life and death, and life and death can be determined with just one piece of paper, one stroke, one ink, and one thought.

But the child's name does not exist in the book of life and death, which means that the judge cannot decide when she should die.The judge judged that the soul in this body was "different", and since then he and Ghost Bai began to pay special attention to her.

"That's right, Qiong Langji is a great monster that even Lord Yan Mo respects." Ghost Envoy Bai showed a faint smile on his normally serious face.

Not only because she devoted herself to creating Luochahai, but also because she single-handedly brought up another envoy... In short, the person whom the lord respects is naturally the person they respect.

"So that's how it is..." Qiong Lang nodded clearly, still a little surprised in her heart. Could it be that her reputation points are so high that even monsters from another world have heard of it?

"By the way, we're here for some urgent business." Glancing at Bai Tongzi, the ghost made Bai take the lead in bringing back the distorted topic, "What's wrong with you, what's going on with Abe Yasuke's soul, Judge Didn't it say that his death was three days ago?"

"This man is indeed dead, but his soul has been hidden by the onmyoji in the capital." Bai Tongzi said in distress, and carefully described what happened in Fenglin just now.

"These onmyojis are really courageous, why aren't they openly confronting the underworld!" Guishi Hei curled his lips, obviously very dissatisfied with the onmyoji's actions.

Ghost Shibai also sighed slightly, "It's no wonder that the two of them have struggled for several days and are helpless. Since they are members of the Abe family...it seems that we need to ask Master Seimei for help this time."

Qiong Lang's expression changed, Lord Qingming?

Could it be that Abe Seimei?It seems that Huaniaojuan has a lot to do with this famous Onmyoji family.

While several people were discussing, Jiu Tun in the distance walked over with a look of displeasure, and he could see that he was in a very bad mood.And the smell of red leaves has long since disappeared in the maple forest, presumably they have already impatiently hid in the depths of the maple forest.

"How about it, did you get any useful information from her?" Qiong Lang tugged at his clothes, "Who is the monster that ate Abe Yasuke?"

"She didn't tell me anything."

"Master Jiuten is actually here too..." Guishi Hei frowned and sighed after hearing the words, "Forget it, forget it, it's important to go to Master Qingming first."

"Don't even you guys know?" Jiu Tun whispered angrily, "That bastard Yan Mo's subordinates have become unreliable."

Ghost Messenger Hei shrugged, but Ghost Messenger Bai replied solemnly: "Lord Shuten, please don't be rude to Lord Yan Mo."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qiong Lang and saluted, "Qiong Langji, I have important matters to attend to, so let's take these two little devils and leave first."

Glancing at them, Qiong Lang smiled slightly, "I'll go with you, that dead human has a close relationship with a friend of mine, and now that he's passed away, I also want to find out what happened."

Jiu Tun gave her a gloomy look, even though the human affairs had nothing to do with him, he didn't want his favorite monsters to be involved in such matters for no reason.If the onmyojis in Kyoto believe that Abe Yasuke was eaten by Hongye, then the peaceful days of Fenglin will come to an end.

Afterwards, he concealed his demonic aura, and followed Gui Shihei and the others towards the outside of the forest.

Qiong Lang followed the master and apprentice group all the way to a secluded courtyard in Kyoto, where the cherry blossom trees turned yellow in autumn.

Shuten obviously didn't like being close to places where humans live. After reaching the courtyard, he jumped onto the trunk of the cherry blossom tree and lay down. He looked towards the long street under the night with a gloomy expression, wondering what he was thinking. .

And with his demonic aura hidden, pedestrians coming and going couldn't see him.

"Seimei... Kagura... a guest is here!" The first person to receive them was a talking white fox.

Xiaobai glanced vigilantly at the cherry blossom tree, then hesitantly turned around and tapped the door with his paws.

After a while, the paper door was opened, and Qiong Lang followed the prestige.A young man in a blue and white safari suit stood there, his handsome and elegant face seemed to be slightly sad, and beside him, there was a girl in a cherry red kimono about ten years old, presumably it was a white fox The "Kagura" in the mouth.

The first moment he saw Abe Seimei, Qiong Lang was slightly taken aback, then frowned.

Abe Seimei, the great onmyoji known to later generations, is far from the image she imagined.

Qiong Lang thought in his heart that Abe Seimei, who possesses extraordinary strength, stands at the top of the profession of Onmyoji, and has fought so many monsters, should be a calm, wise and well-mannered person.

But the young man in front of him had a pair of extremely pure and flawless eyes, as clean as a newborn baby, which made Qiong Lang feel unreal besides being surprised.

Abe Seimei glanced at them, and was startled when he saw Qiong Lang again, "So it's Brother Ghost Messenger... who is this?"

"We are here this time for the matter of Abe Yasuke in the adult clan. This is Lord Qionglangji." Ghost Messenger Bai said, explaining Qionglang's reason for coming here very briefly.

Abe Seimei frowned slightly, and said with a little doubt: "Abe Yasuke?... Forget it, let's all come in and sit down first."

In the dead of night, the house was brightly lit, and there were two cups of cold tea on the table.

Ghost Messenger Bai and Qiong Lang respectively explained in detail what happened in the maple forest this afternoon. Facing Abe Seimei who was a little dazed, Ghost Messenger Hei couldn't help asking: "It's convenient for Master Qingming to help our brothers this time. Are the two working together?"

"Abe Yasuke..." Qingming only tilted his head and murmured the name softly, "Is it the onmyoji who was killed in the family three days ago?"

"Huh?" Gui Shihei was taken aback, "Isn't he a colleague of Lord Qingming? I remember that Lord Qingming is quite familiar with him, right?"

Hearing this, Kagura couldn't help but said: "I'm sorry, because of some accidents, Seimei can't remember many things from the past..."

Amnesia?Qiong Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at him calmly.

"Sorry." Qingming said softly, and then looked at them seriously, "But I will try my best to help you with what you said."

"I will go to the Onmyoya in person. Abe Yasuke's soul is sleeping now, but the reason why the Onmyoya people withheld Abe Yasuke's soul is actually to find the cause of his death."

Abe Yasuke obviously has an amulet with powerful spiritual power on his body, so it is impossible for him to be eaten by monsters so easily.

"I think, if Yinyangliao wants to hand over his soul, he must first give them an explanation."

Gui Shibai nodded, "Then Master Qingming, what happened to this man before he died?"

"I don't know the details... I just remember that Abe Yasuke has been in very bad health for the past two months and has been bedridden. Three nights ago, he left the house quietly. Tell."

When no one in the family could find the figure, it was divination that he had been killed, so he quickly summoned the other party's soul back as quickly as possible, only to find that his soul had also fallen into a deep sleep for no reason.

So no one knows what happened that night.

After listening to Qingming's explanation, Gui Shihei rubbed his forehead in pain, "I'm the worst at cracking such weird murder cases..."

"Ill in bed?" Thinking of what Huaniaojuan said before, Qiong Lang's heart skipped a beat, "Do you remember the monster Huaniaojuan? She used to live in the study of the Abe family for nearly 200 years."

"Flower and bird scroll...? Although I don't remember the past, I have heard some things from my tribe." Qingming thought for a while, then nodded, "If I remember correctly, this monster is said to disturb people's hearts and It produces demons."

"Abe Yasuke was already in poor health, and his clan said that after he was frightened by the monster in the picture scroll, he became even more sick, so this monster was eliminated by the people of Yinyangliao."

"Of course, all this is what I heard from other people..."

"Flower and bird scrolls are not monsters that can disturb people's hearts. The so-called illusions in the scrolls are just born from the heart." Qiong Lang shook his head slightly, "Abe Yasuke's should be related to what he saw. I once I remember Hanakori-maki said that Abe Yasuke saw many terrifying poisonous spiders in the painting."

It can be said that that monster was also the indirect cause of Huaniaoju's almost accidental injury.

"Is it a spider turned into a monster?" Bai Tongzi's face was also tangled, "But why did he go out of the city by himself in the middle of the night? It's the most dangerous time for ghosts to go out at night."

It is impossible for Abe Yasuke, an onmyoji, to be ignorant of these common senses, and run out in the middle of the night dragging his sick body. Isn’t this just going to the latrine with a lantern—seeking death?

"There must be many hidden secrets in this matter that we don't know." Abe Seimei clenched his fist slightly and said firmly, "Well, it's too late today, and it's too dangerous outside."

"Tomorrow morning, how about I go to Fenglin where he died with you to take a look? If we can dig out his remains, maybe we can learn something."

Qiong Lang nodded, at this point, this is the only way to go.

Mount Nachi, the night is like water.

Daitengu lay quietly on the tatami mat, resting his head on his head with one hand and playing with the flute in his other hand, as if he was remembering something.

"Everything you've done over the years is to change the plight of monsters, right?" the onmyoji in purple and black asked.

"However, your approach is too naive. Humans will not understand your painstaking efforts, let alone accept your kindness easily. If you restrain monsters and guide them to be kind to humans, it will only make humans oppress monsters even more. "

"You are also human, why do you choose to help monsters to dominate human beings?" Daitengu asked coldly with his azure blue pupils showing undisguised scrutiny and guard, "I can't help but doubt your sincerity by doing this." Careful."

"No... I'm not the same as them...I'm not the same as that Seimei." The man said slowly, with an incomprehensible madness in his eyes, "I'm standing on the side of a monster. "

Because I saw the miserable situation of the monsters who were misunderstood, oppressed, and persecuted, I wanted to choose the yin and yang that subverted the world, and let the monsters who had suffered from pain and resentment stand up and rule the world.

"And you are the same as me." Abe Seimei's fiery eyes were glued to his body tightly, and the seductive voice sounded again, "I know that the righteousness we are pursuing is exactly the same..."

"However, there is an old saying that 'a good man is bullied by others, and a good horse is ridden by others'." He warned seriously, "Only standing at the top with absolute strength can truly and completely change the situation of the monsters. "

There was a moment of silence in the air, and Ootengu had to admit that everything this man named Abe Seimei said made sense, and everything he said was the picture he wanted to see the most, and it was no surprise Aroused the fire deep in his heart.

If he hadn't met Qiong Lang before, Da Tiangou was absolutely sure that he would follow the man in front of him without hesitation until he died.

But after meeting Qiong Lang, his state of mind has changed, until now he still deeply remembers what Qiong Lang said.

Dominating the world with absolute demon power alone is nothing but bullying and enslavement in another sense.

and so……

"So, come and fulfill your heart with me..."

"Sorry, I'm sorry I can't agree with you." Big Tengu raised his eyes, his tone was light, but he refused cleanly.

Abe Seimei's smile suddenly froze on his face, his pupils shrank slightly, and he murmured, "Why?"

"The ways are different, so we don't conspire with each other." Big Tengu turned around and said coldly, "What you are after is not the righteousness in my heart."

Hearing this, Abe Seimei looked straight at him without saying a word, the air around him was solidified and heavy.

"I can understand what you are thinking, but I already have someone to follow, please come back..."

Hearing these words, an inexplicable glint flashed across Abe Seimei's eyes, he held his fan tightly and asked softly, "Oh? Who is it?"
