[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

"Are you Abe Seimei?" Reiko, who had successfully completed her psychological training, showed an aura no less than that of Abe Seimei, and asked bluntly.

"Yes, I am."

"That's good, there is a monster named Bai Zangzhu, please let me bring you a sentence, it said 'it misses you very much'!" As she spoke, Reiko thought of the memory she saw of Bai Zangzhu, " It has been waiting for your return in this courtyard for 1000 years, but you have never returned. Well, this is a matter of course, but monsters are such stubborn creatures."

Reiko looked at Xiaobai at the side, but her gaze didn't focus on Xiaobai, but she seemed to be looking at something else through Xiaobai.

Abe Seimei's eyes followed Reiko's and fell on Xiaobai.

Xiaobai got a little furious from Qingming and Reiko's strange eyes: "Don't look at me, Master Qingming! These words are definitely not from Xiaobai, isn't Xiaobai always by Qingming's side?"

At this time, Qingming already had some guesses about Reiko's origin, but this kind of speculation was too absurd, even the top onmyoji could not do such a thing, so Qingming asked Reiko that question again: "Who are you?"

Reiko turned around and looked at the petals of the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard. It was hard to imagine that this ordinary cherry tree had such a strange ability.

"How about we have a competition? If you win, I'll tell you my name and origin; if I win, you have to do me a favor, how about?"

Qingming closed the folding fan in his hand and placed it in the palm of his hand, a rare expression of interest appeared on his perennially expressionless face: "Compared to what?"

"Hmm..." Reiko kicked the stones on the ground and began to think, then suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, "How do we compare to divination?"

It must be a very interesting thing for an onmyoji, who can predict her existence thousands of years later, to compete in divination with a person from thousands of years later.

"Foretell what this courtyard will look like in a thousand years."

Qingming lowered his eyelids slightly, thought for a while, and then gave the result very straightforwardly: "I admit defeat."

"What?" Reiko couldn't believe that the famous onmyoji would lose so easily, and even the three shikigami who were watching showed incredible expressions.

"I'm not very good at divination, but I can speculate. You came from a thousand years later. You saw the future Xiaobai in this courtyard, and then came to this era through something...I guess it's a cherry tree. Look at this The expression of the cherry blossom tree is very special, and it suddenly appeared above Xiaobai who was sleeping under the cherry tree. The layout of the courtyard should not be much different from the present, at most it is a bit shabby, because Xiaobai will not change the decoration here at will."

This is also called not good at divination?Wait, did Abe Seimei know about her existence after a thousand years because he told him so?

Then why did he let his descendants take him away?And why does Bai Zangzhu guard this courtyard alone?Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.

Seeing Reiko's stunned expression, Qingming knew that her guess was the truth: "Tell me what you need my help for. Since your experience has something to do with me, I will try my best to help you if I can."

"Master Qingming, you just believe it? Master Qingming wouldn't leave Xiaobai for such a long time!" Xiaobai spun around at Qingming's feet, no matter what, he didn't believe what Reiko said.

"Who do you think is the cause of all this, you stinky fox!" Although Reiko was very worried about Bai Zangzhu in a thousand years, she couldn't compare the little fox in front of her with the one who was crying every word in a thousand years. The big blood demon was connected, and Xiaobai repeatedly questioned it, so it was mercilessly angered.

Hearing the words, Xiaobai quickly turned his head and sniffed his body. After confirming that there was no peculiar smell, he refuted Reiko in a serious manner: "Xiaobai doesn't smell bad at all!"

Just forget it!

The virgin covered her eyes with yellow bird feathers, looking unsightly.

"Xiaobai, don't make trouble." Qingming tapped Xiaobai's head lightly with a fan, then ignored its aggrieved expression, and instead turned his gaze to Reiko, "Tell me, your story."

Reiko felt as if she had punched the cotton with a punch, but she knew that the only person in front of her who could help her right now was the person in front of her, so she honestly told Seimei everything about meeting Abe Yuxing.

Qingming listened to Reiko's narration and fell into deep thought: the Yumenyuan clan, with a lifespan of [-] years, the descendants who are sure that he will return again, Xiaobai who has been waiting in the courtyard for a thousand years...

After hearing these things, even Qingming himself felt as if he was playing a big game of chess.Although I don't know what happened in the middle, but there should be some changes in Heianjing in the near future, some changes related to him.

Seimei couldn't help but think of Yinyangliao's recent plan to reseal Yamato no Orochi. At first, he thought this plan was not very reliable, but now it seems that it has undoubtedly failed.But at this time, he is far from the deified Abe Seimei of the later generations. He is just a little doctor of astronomy. Although he is well-known among Onmyoji, he has no real power, so he is powerless to change anything.

However, considering the worst-case scenario, some things do need to be prepared in advance.

"Sorry, I don't have a way to send you back a thousand years, but I will try my best to find out. There are still many unknown forces in this world. Maybe one day I will find something that can send you back." Abe Qingming waved his fan and said apologetically.

"Is that so..."

After the novelty of seeing historical celebrities faded, Reiko fell into a rare daze.How would she survive in the age of peace with no relatives?

Although there is no problem in communication, even the text has undergone many changes in the millennium, not to mention living customs and other things.

In her era, although she was not happy, at least she had a place to go back to, but here, she had nothing.

"If you don't mind, you can stay here. After all, I have to bear certain responsibilities when you come here." Qingming saw Reiko's bewilderment, and suggested thoughtfully.

"...Thank you." Now is not the time to be polite. Once she leaves here, Reiko has no idea what the outside world is like.

But it is impossible for her to rely on Abe Seimei to live all the time. If she can never go back, will she have to live here for the rest of her life?

"Hmm...Mr. Abe?" Reiko thought about addressing her and chose an honorific title.

"Just call me Seimei, and I'll call you by your name directly, right?"

"Of course, I won the competition just now. Since Qingming, you can't send me back, then I should still ask you to do me a favor, right?" Lingzi's eyes flashed a cunning, although she was a bit aggressive, but she never They are all unreasonable people.

"Tell me." Qingming didn't directly agree.

"I want to become an Onmyoji!" Reiko's eyes were amazingly bright.

She hates humans, and she also hates monsters.Although I say that every time, but ah, deep in Reiko's heart, she is extremely eager to be recognized by humans and monsters.

Reiko is very greedy, she doesn't want to give up either the world of humans or the world of monsters.

Qingming looked at Reiko seriously, stretched out his hand and drew twice in the air: "Tell me, what did you see."

Reiko replied honestly: "A purple pentagram, the lower four corners are yellow, red, blue and green, and the top one...is probably a transparent color?"

Qingming waved his sleeves, and the pentagram dissipated into the air: "It is indeed a very outstanding spiritual power. The pentagram is my self-created yin and yang technique, which emphasizes the use of human spiritual power to control the four elements of the world's origin - the earth. , fire, water, and wind, so as to achieve the purpose of manipulating all things. If you lack spiritual power, you can rely on the power of shikigami to make up for it; but if you lack spiritual power, you cannot become an onmyoji.”

Qingming looked at Reiko's eagerness to try, and poured cold water on her without hesitation: "However, there are many talented people, but very few can become Onmyoji."

"Onmyoji alone is divided into three parts: shikigami, spells, and enchantment. In addition, onmyojis also need to master some knowledge of divination, sacrifice, and astronomical observation."

As he spoke, he brought Reiko to the study room, where there were volumes of books densely packed on the bookshelves, and there was a Buddhist scripture spread out on the table.

"In order to master the basic skills of Onmyoji, you need to learn related knowledge about astronomy, azimuth, Yi, civil engineering, and Chinese medicine; in addition, because Onmyoji needs to travel among nobles during the day, it is best to learn some elegance things, such as waka, Tang poetry, pipa, flute and even incense and tea ceremony. Finally, you also need to have a deep study of Buddhism and Taoism, because Onmyoji was born from these two.”

As a scumbag, Lingzi just felt dizzy: "Do you know all the things you just said?"

"Naturally." Seimei replied very calmly.

Reiko looked at Seimei's young and outrageous face, even if the person in front of her had been studying non-stop since birth, it was hard to imagine that he could learn so many things.

Reiko thinks she finally understands why Abe Youxing dismisses the so-called demon extermination masters. Compared with the exorcist exorcisers who can draw two talismans and can make a cameo appearance, the knowledge that an onmyoji needs to master is simply a geometric multiple increase .

The onmyoji's contempt for exorcising demons is probably similar to the attitude of a school bully towards a school dregs.

"After understanding this, do you still want to become an onmyoji?" Seimei's faint voice interrupted Reiko's wild thoughts.

Reiko looked at the scrolls in the room again, and clenched her fists: "Yes, I want it!"

Qingming walked to a bookshelf, picked out two volumes of books and put them in Reiko's hands: "Then you should memorize these two volumes first, and then I will teach you other things."

Reiko unfolded the scroll curiously, and saw the titles written on it: "Hetu", "Luoshu".

……

Is it too late for her to regret it now?

The author has something to say:

Reiko: Why is your hair white?Are you really the son of the white fox?

Qingming calmly pointed to the book in the study: Do you know what is Juvenile Bai?Don't worry, after you memorize all these books, you will also have gray hair.

Reiko (frustrated and bent forward): Please spare a poor student!

PS1: There are real skills to master, and there are more than what I have listed.I think this is probably the real reason for the extinction? (far eye)

PS2: The Doctor of Astronomy was originally the seventh rank, but after Abe Seimei took this seat, the Doctor of Astronomy was promoted to the fourth rank, and has the qualification to go to court.Here it is assumed that the young Qingming has just become a doctor of astronomy not long ago, so he is still at the seventh rank, and has no say in major decisions.
