[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

In the end, under the laughter of Reiko and the intention of "making friends" with the bearded man, Seimei and the bearded man sat at the door and drank tea together.

The tea at this time is different from the almost Taoist craftsmanship thousands of years ago. It is just ordinary brewed in a teapot and poured out a cup when needed.

Qingming took a sip of the somewhat yellowed tea, a slight bitterness spread in his mouth.

Reiko and Natsume were excitedly facing the scorching sun, waving the leaflets in their hands; people and cars were passing by on the road, and there was an endless stream of men and women showing their arms and legs.

This is the world in 1000 years, a world where everyone is equal.

No one would salute himself respectfully, and no one would look at him with strange eyes.

Even though he still had striking white hair, the passers-by on the side of the road would look at him curiously a few more times before leaving.

It is such a strange world that can raise such a strange human being as Reiko.

Seimei's mood gradually calmed down, his eyes moved left and right following Reiko's figure, and for the first time he felt unprecedented ease.

The bearded man watched Qingming drink a cheap cup out of a national treasure, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "Young man, don't you really plan to be a star or something? What a pity."

Qingming didn't know what a "star" was, but it was probably similar to an actor on stage, except that the status of a "star" was not as humble as that of an "actor", but rather popular.

He wisely did not ask such common sense questions, but asked the bearded man about "Abe Seimei": "Can you tell me about the life of 'Abe Seimei'?"

"Have you changed your mind?" The bearded man was very pleasantly surprised, "I won't say what everyone knows, let me explain my understanding."

"Although Abe Seimei has always appeared in a positive image in history, I always feel that he is not that simple."

"Oh? Why is that?" Qingming asked calmly.

When Reiko first arrived in Heiankyo, she said that he would live to be more than 80 years old, and claimed to see his descendants after a thousand years.

Even if he and Reiko would go back again, even if he escaped by death in his 80s, there are still too many things that cannot be explained in history, including the strange image of Seimei Abe in the stage play.

So he thought of another possibility - what would happen if he and Reiko never went back, and someone else took his place?

The bearded man scratched his cheek: "There are basically no narratives about Abe Seimei when he was young. The only introduction is about his life experience as the 'son of the white fox' and how he became a gangster. The more detailed introduction is that he was 25 years old. After that."

"This is a very strange point. When he was 25 years old, Heian-kyo was destroyed once. It is recorded in history that Yamata no Orochi ravaged Heian-kyo, gathered all the power of Heian-kyo, and finally suppressed Yamata-no Orochi, but  □□ suffered heavy losses as a result. Under such circumstances, Abe Seimei supported the inheritance of □□□ and has been active on the stage of history ever since.”

"I'm wondering, it's such a big thing, why there is no record of Abe Seimei's participation in it at all? It can't be that he cooperated with Yamata no Orochi to kill all the gangsters, and then the family dominates, right?"

The bearded man jokingly expressed his thoughts, but Qingming's face became more and more serious.

Someone deliberately erased the traces of his existence. Needless to say, the purpose was to replace it.

Seimei began to worry about his former partners. If Yamata no Orochi really changed into his own form, Boya, Kagura, and those shikigami would have a hard time.

The bearded man looked into Qingming's eyes, feeling a little apprehensive for some reason: "Hahaha, this is just my joke! This is a world that advocates materialism. Gods and ghosts don't exist. The so-called ' Heian-kyo was destroyed by Yamata no Orochi, probably caused by a big earthquake, don’t experts say that!”

Qingming still couldn't understand some terms like "materialism", but this did not prevent him from understanding the meaning of the bearded man.

This is a powerful era, where technology has developed to an unimaginable level; but it is also a weak era, if Yamata no Orochi comes back, it is unclear how many people will die.

Seimei squinted his eyes as he looked at the too glaring sunlight in the sky and the pedestrians talking and laughing under the sunlight.

In the end, he still couldn't let it go, after all, he still couldn't sit back and watch this peaceful and beautiful world become a purgatory on earth one day.

.

"Okay, I'm so tired!" Natsume, who spent half a day finally finishing distributing the leaflets, sat under the shade of a tree exhausted, pouring water.

"Too weak, Takashi!" Reiko, who was still alive and well, looked at Natsume with some dissatisfaction, "Madara said that you are bean sprouts, there is some truth to it."

"Grandma!" Natsume protested dissatisfiedly, but faced Reiko's condescending gaze, she finally retreated, "Why isn't Grandma Reiko tired at all? She doesn't even sweat much?"

"This is the effect of spiritual power." Of course, there is also a physique that has increased a lot after eating mermaid meat.

"Ah! You cheated, grandma!" Natsume's cheeks puffed up slightly, looking very cute.

Reiko couldn't help touching Natsume's hair, and then ravaged her hard: "So, get stronger! How can my grandson of Natsume Reiko be chased by monsters? You have to punch them back to teach them how to be monsters." ah!"

Facing Reiko's intimate contact, Natsume became shy again.

The Fujiwara and his wife are good people, but Natsume is always cautious when getting along with them. They are slowly approaching each other in constant temptation, for fear that if they take too big steps, they will scare each other away.

However, Grandma Reiko was different.

It is probably because they have had the same experience and are connected by blood, so they have an extraordinarily connected mind.

Natsume, there is no need to hide anything in front of Reiko.

"Guizhi, give me your hand." Qingming came over at some point, "I will guide you to use spiritual power in a while, you have to remember the feeling of controlling spiritual power. The first thing you need to learn now is how to use it Spiritual power, and other things I will teach you slowly when I have a chance."

"Yes!" Natsume immediately straightened up, like a child facing the teacher.

For some reason, when she gets along with Reiko, Natsume always seems closer, but she has more respect for Seimei—even after knowing the fact that Seimei "eats soft food".

Seimei injected a ray of spiritual power into Natsume's body, guiding the continuous operation of the spiritual power in his body.

As the spiritual power flowed throughout his body, Natsume's hot and dry body gradually calmed down, and his fatigue eased a lot.

"It's amazing!" Natsume exclaimed with wide eyes slightly.

"Okay, I got my salary! Let's have lunch, and then go to the University of Tokyo!" Reiko planned the next journey.

"Huh? University?" Natsume was a little surprised.

"Didn't you tell your family that you want to visit the university?"

"That's just... an excuse..." Natsume's voice gradually became softer, as if she was a little ashamed.

Reiko slapped Natsume on the back: "Then don't use it as an excuse, you have to see your own future before you can make a decision."

Looking at Reiko's encouraging smile, Natsume remembered her entanglement these days, and nodded her head hard twice.

He also wanted to take the initiative to decide his own future.

After solving Natsume's matter, Reiko stretched her waist and had a new worry: "Speaking of which, what's for lunch? I've distributed leaflets all morning. Although I'm not tired, I don't want to move much."

Natsume had an idea, and suddenly remembered the small advertisement on the newspaper: "Speaking of which, I seem to have seen a 'takeaway god' in the newspaper..."

"Takeaway God?! Isn't it, the business of God has developed to such a point now?" Reiko felt a little unbelievable, but also felt that it was reasonable.

Gods always appear according to human needs.

According to weather, there will be gods of wind, rain, and thunder; according to geographical conditions, there will be gods of rivers, seas, and land;

So, it's not a big deal for a god who specializes in food delivery to appear now, right?

"It's not 'Takeaway God', it's 'Expatriate God'." Qingming pointed to the words on the newspaper and corrected, "But this is indeed the aura left by the gods, and ordinary people should not be able to see these words."

"Never mind! I'm so hungry!" Reiko took away the newspaper in Seimei's hand, and ran to the public phone beside her, "No matter what kind of god it is, it's okay to deliver a takeaway."

With that said, Reiko dialed the string of phone numbers.

.

"Here is the fast, cheap and reliable expatriate God Yato, what do you need to help?"

As soon as the call was connected, a young man in sportswear and a blond boy with a knitted hat appeared in the air out of nowhere. The young man in sportswear looked at Reiko with glaring eyes, as obscene as his expression could be.

Reiko felt that her impression of the gods was completely subverted, she looked at Yato with distrust: "Are you the god of takeaway?"

"What delivery god? I'm obviously an expatriate... No! It's Yetou God! A man who is destined to stand at the top of 800 million gods!" Behind Yetou, there seemed to be a huge light, and countless "$" appeared in his eyes. "Character.

Xueyin held her forehead, she just felt that it was a little difficult for her to live as a wishing device. When will Yato be a little more reliable?

He automatically ignored Yato who was still immersed in his own world, and bowed to Reiko to apologize: "Sorry, Yato's mind is a bit abnormal, what is your wish?"

Lingzi took out a few banknotes and handed them to Xueyin: "I want you to help buy some takeaways. This kind of ability to be on call is really convenient, and the meals delivered will not be cold."

"Yueyin, I'm your master! What's wrong with your brain? Hey! Also, let the great Yetou God deliver food..." Yeto yelled dissatisfied, but in the end it was under Xueyin's serious eyes He retreated in defeat, "I know, I know, this is the practice of becoming a god of good fortune, and I will do it."

"Bring it!" Yato reluctantly hooked his fingers at Reiko.

Reiko looked puzzled: "What are you doing? Do gods need tips?"

"What tip? It's sesame oil money, isn't there 5 yen?"

Seimei thought about it, and quickly understood what Yato wanted for 5 yen: "The pronunciation of 5 yuan is similar to 'Yuan'. You have reached a contract, and the gods will fulfill your wishes, isn't that right?"

"I can't see that you know a lot!" Yato was a little surprised at Seimei's erudition, he looked at Seimei and Reiko twice, and always felt that he seemed to have seen them somewhere.

"Wow! That's amazing! Mister, are you wearing hunting clothes? I heard that the ancients only wore this kind of clothes." Xueyin looked at Seimei in amazement.

□□□? !

A flash of lightning flashed across Yato's mind, and he remembered why Seimei and Reiko looked familiar.

"That's impossible!" Yatou's icy blue pupils narrowed slightly, staring closely at Reiko's face, "Obviously I already..."

"Yato, what's wrong with you?" Xueyin asked worriedly.

He didn't know much about Yato's past, but Yukine knew that every time he showed this expression, he must be reminded of an unpleasant memory.

"Thousands of years ago?" Reiko looked at Yato's unusual eye color, and felt that she had seen him somewhere before, "Speaking of which, I also think you seem familiar."

Seimei narrowed his eyes when he heard that, only Natsume was confused: "Thousands of years ago? What are you talking about?"

"It's impossible! That human being can't be alive!"

Reiko finally remembered, and she gritted her teeth: "It's you! So you are the kid who gave me the knife? It hurts, you know!"

Seimei's expression turned cold in an instant, his eyes that made it difficult to see clearly were fixed on Yato, as if he was looking at a dead person indifferently.

Yukine, who was caught in the middle, met Seimei's eyes and felt chills all over his body, but he still stood firmly in front of Yato, his body trembling slightly.

"Reiko, is this the artifact that cut you off?" Seimei's tone was terrifyingly calm.

"No, it has nothing to do with Xueyin, he is an artifact I just received recently." Yato pulled Xueyin behind him, "Xueyin, go find Xiaofu, and don't come back again."

"Are you kidding! I'm your blessing, how could I leave you alone? What's going on, Yato?"

The bangs on Yetou's forehead blocked his eyes, making it difficult to see his expression: "That woman is the first human being I killed."
