"that's it?"

"That's it."

"This...isn't this too simple?"

"Hehehe, but my life is so simple..."

"No, no, you misunderstood me. I mean, your relationship with Mr. Qingming is too simple!"

"...Hey, you are really interesting. Why pay attention to such a small part?"

"Isn't that natural? That's Lord Seimei! The number one onmyoji in Heian capital is said to be a legendary figure who is the son of the white fox! Isn't his private life very fascinating?"

The man's tone became excited.This made the girl a little puzzled.

"But you are also a man, why do you pay attention to a man's private life?"

The girl's sharp words made the man's expression stiff, and he sat down uncomfortably.

The girl smiled, "Okay, since you want to know his private life so much, then let me tell you... Where do I start?"

"It's better to start when you lied that you forgot."

The girl was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, you're really wicked, Hua Ye."

This is a story about a man named Huaye.

He is a doctor and a collector.But the things he collects are probably beyond the comprehension of most people.

Because he likes to collect anything about "worms".Don't get me wrong, the "worm" here does not refer to a fleshy worm in ordinary thinking, but a creature similar to a spirit that is close to the origin of life.

Although it has a unique name "worm".But perhaps in the eyes of people like onmyoji and demon masters, they may be considered "monsters".

Of course, they are not monsters.

"Bugs" have their own unique way of life.This method may be contrary to human common sense, and even endanger human beings.And at this time, the "Bug Master" who specializes in solving weird events caused by "Bugs" will appear.

Hua Ye doesn't have many friends, and among the few friends, there is a "bug master" - Yin Gu.

Although Hua Ye likes to collect everything about "worms".However, in reality, he cannot see the "worm".Even if sometimes some weird event happened in the village and the human saw the worm, he couldn't see it anyway.

This made Huaye feel frustrated for a while.

How ironic it is that he wanted to see the "worm" so much that he kept a lot of things about it, but he couldn't actually see the "worm"...

But recently, things have changed slightly.

Occasionally, he could see all kinds of strange creatures floating in the air or appearing on house beams and other places.

He thought to himself, it must be a "worm"!

Immediately, he wrote a letter to Yin Gu, expressing his joy and shock at once.

This may have been derived from a painting.

He thought of that afternoon, there was a traveler who passed by his house to beg for water—it was a flirtatious man in gorgeous clothes, carrying a mysterious box like Gingo.He called himself a drug seller, and he came from far away.In order to express his gratitude, the medicine seller gave him a painting.Of course, this does not mean that the painting is given to him, but it is said that one of his wishes can be fulfilled.

Hua Ye doesn't believe such a thing, it sounds incredible.And that drug dealer looks like a magic stick.

Just listen to the words of the magic stick.

But now, Hua Ye had to believe what the magic stick said.It was after this painting that he began to see the "worm".

-

Knowing that the traveler would come to pick up the painting, Hua Ye treasured the painting.Taking it out this time, Hua Ye felt different again.

I didn't look carefully before, but this time I was very surprised.

The scroll appears to be made of jasper, and is of great value.However, Hua Ye didn't have a deep research on jade, so he could only look at the surface.

Perhaps realizing that the scrolls made by Jasper were very valuable, Huaye wiped the table several times first, for fear of getting it dirty.And when unfolding this picture scroll, the movements of his hands were even more cautious, fearing that the painting would be damaged by careless movements.

Like unlocking the lock of a treasure, Huaye held his breath when unfolding the scroll, and only slowly exhaled after the scroll was fully unfolded.

This is a picture of beauty.

The woman in the painting looks like she is 16 years old. The painting time is probably when the winter snow is melting slightly. The plum blossoms are in full bloom. The way she closes her eyes and sniffs the plum blossoms, and the strong visual difference between the white snow and the red cloak are really beautiful. Be thrilling.

Huaye swears that he has never seen a more beautiful person than the woman in the painting.

"call……"

He seemed to fall in love with the woman in the painting at first sight.

If Ginko found out, he would be so surprised that he would drop a cigarette.

He smiled secretly, sighed, and put away the painting.

——Don't think too much, it's just a painting.

Yes, a pair of words that can make people see "worms".Even if it is not confirmed, Hua Ye attributes the reason why he can see the insects to this picture of beauty.

-

There will be a solar eclipse next month. According to Yin Gu, during the period when the sun is covered, the "worms" will be restless.At that time, you can see more "worms" than usual.And it's easy to catch too.

Yin Gu sent a lot of things, most of which were anthelmintics, specially designed to treat various problems caused by "worms".

Of course, Hua Ye didn't care, but what he cared about were all kinds of nets to catch "worms".

"It seems that you like "worms" very much. "

"Of course it is!" Hua Ye replied as a matter of course, but after the answer, he turned around stiffly, his eyes scanned the room where there was no one else except him.

"Who, who..."

He swallowed, got up swiftly, bowed his body, rubbed his eyes, and asked in a low voice towards the empty room: "Are you... a human or a monster?"

As soon as the words fell, a crisp laughter sounded, "I am neither a human nor a monster."

Whether it was laughter or talking, they all came from below him.And below him, there is only one painting.

That painting is the picture of beauties that Huaye thinks is very valuable.

Huaye tapped his head, thinking that he might be hallucinating.Otherwise, how could a painting speak?

"It really is an illusion..."

He laughed.

But the soft hum that sounded immediately made his expression suffer again.

"Idiot! Open the painting, I want to get some air!"

"It's too much, I'm not an idiot!"

He babbled about this, but Huaye opened the painting obediently.Even if the person doesn't speak, he will open up.After all, what was hidden inside really made him curious.

The moment after the scroll was opened, a phantom appeared on the painting.Hua Ye was taken aback, his hands shook, and he almost threw the jasper scroll.

"Why are you so timid? You want to see "worm" so much, but you are so timid? "

There was obvious teasing in those words.

"Anyone will be shocked to see a shadow appear! And it has nothing to do with "worms"! "

Hua Ye was not convinced, but still restrained himself.When he looked at the phantom, he found that the appearance of the phantom was exactly the same as the girl in the painting, and subconsciously let out a voice of surprise, "Could it be that this painting is so good?"

Xu Ying laughed again when he heard his words, and there was some sigh in the laughter at this time.

Huaye touched the round lens of his left eye uncomfortably, thinking whether he had said something he shouldn't have said.

"She is me, and I am her."

"Eh?"

Xu Ying showed a gentle smile and said, "This is the portrait my husband drew for me. And I am in this painting for some reason."

"So that's it, ah, no, I still don't understand, that is to say, you are not the monster in the painting?"

"Exactly.

"Then can you come out?"

Xu Ying shook his head, "It's not the time yet."

Now only half of the body can appear on the painting, and when the time is up, it will come out naturally.But thinking of the lower body, Xu Ying looked at the young man and couldn't help but smile.

"why are you laughing?"

Hua Ye was a little confused.

Phantom shook his head.

Huaye didn't delve into it, but just looked at her with emotion, "It's incredible..."

"Ah, my name is Huaye, what about you?"

"I'm Kui Xi."

-

Chatting with Kui Xi is very interesting.She knows a lot that he doesn't.

"Don't be sad, I just traveled a lot and met a lot of people."

Seeing that Huaye was depressed, Kuixi said comfortingly.

"I'm not offended by it. But I'm quite interested in what you have to say."

Hua Ye said sincerely.

Before that, he felt that his life should be for "worms", but it would be embarrassing if he couldn't see the worms.But now that he can see "worms", he has learned many creatures that are different from insects - monsters.

——A more complex creature than a "worm".

In this way, Hua Ye found that "worms" seemed to be no longer what he had been looking for in his life.

"The outside world is much wider..."

Before the solar eclipse, Kui Xi told Hua Ye that she wanted to see it too.

"What do you think? If there is a phantom, it will scare the children nearby!"

"What an idiot, can't you put the painting in a room where you can see the sun?"

No matter how Huaye protested to Kuixi, he still couldn't get rid of the title of "idiot".But think about it, there is no need to appear in front of others.

Hua Ye did so, and put the painting by the window of the house where the sun could be seen.Then he went out with the black lenses he made himself.

Kui Xi appeared on the painting, and after seeing Hua Ye leave, he entered the painting again to take a nap.The sounds of Hua Ye and the children outside the house kept coming to her ears...

She didn't understand why the medicine seller would hand her over to this man.If it's just because of the solar eclipse, no matter where it is, it's fine.

Well, forget it, trust him.

But here is really interesting, she didn't know that there is a creature called "worm" in this world, is it a new creature recently?It doesn't seem right, according to Huaye, "worms" have existed since ancient times...

The author has something to say: Hua Ye is Gingu's friend, but he cannot see the insects.This one is taken from the special episode Shadow of the Eclipse.
