[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

After a brief panic, Reiko quickly calmed down.

Except for the ignorant Jiumingmao and Yingcao, most of the shikigami in the courtyard showed worried or flustered expressions, and the maiden even grabbed the virgin boy's arm, looking like she was about to cry.

"Don't show such an expression, you are Abe Seimei's shikigami, you can't be unreliable like this." Reiko raised her chin slightly, looked around the courtyard, her confident and flamboyant posture calmed down the restless atmosphere in the courtyard .

That's right, Reiko has been living under Seimei's wings since she came to the Heian era, but this does not mean that once she loses the protection of her wings, Reiko cannot fly alone.

She is Natsume Reiko, Natsume Reiko who has grown up alone since she was a child, facing the sarcasm of others and terrifying monsters of different shapes.

"But, but, Master Qingming never..." The virgin was still worried.

Reiko glanced at the girl: "Is Seimei dead or disabled?"

"Uh." The virgin immediately fell silent, not daring to say any more under Reiko's strong aura.

Xiaobai also gave up the plan to speak, and silently shrank back, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

Why do I feel that the current Reiko-sama is even scarier than the previous Seimei-sama?

"You're really different from ordinary women." He Mao Baoxian stepped into the courtyard first, followed by the cat who was carrying the unconscious Seimei on his back.

"Lord Seimei!" Seimei's shikigami gathered around one after another, and they were all relieved when they found that Seimei didn't have any wounds on his body.

Reiko stood where she was, with her arms folded on her chest, looking directly at Baoxian: "Qingming was asked to go out by your request, right? Shouldn't you give me an explanation now?"

Although Reiko is a whole head shorter than Baoxian, Baoxian felt inexplicably being looked down upon. He smiled wryly and said, "It's really my fault this time. I only considered Qingming's ability, but didn't think about it carefully." The particularity of this 'battlefield'."

"This time the monsters are active in the dream world, and let people sink into dreams forever by looking for holes in their hearts. I didn't expect Seimei's inner holes to be so big."

A loophole in the mind?

Reiko looked at Seimei who was lying flat in the courtyard. At this time, Seimei's face was slightly pale, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his forehead was covered with sweat-soaked hair, looking very painful.

Seimei, what did he dream about?

"What can I do?" Reiko asked Baoxian seriously.

"Speaking of which, only you can do this. I want you to enter Qingming's dream, and then bring him out. But before that, you may also be attacked by the voodoo master and see some buried What is deep in your heart that you are unwilling to face. Can you come out?" This question must be asked clearly. If Reiko, like Seimei, has a huge spiritual loophole, then Reiko will not be able to get out of the dream. wake up.

The childhood scenes flashed through Reiko's mind. Everyone will have some embarrassing memories and fragile pasts, even children who grew up in honeypots will have their own troubles.

Some people can face it calmly, but some people choose to keep avoiding it.

"Only I can do it?"

"Once he enters Qingming's dream, the things he least wants to be known will be laid out in front of you like a blank sheet of paper. Don't look at Qingming's easy-going way of talking, if I know some things, I'm afraid he will go crazy too." Baoxian and Qingming are senior brothers, but they are limited to senior brothers, and they are far from talking about everything.

"In this case, is it really okay for me to go?" Lingzi and Qingming have known each other for less than a year, and how can she know that even the protection of the constitution can't be touched.

Baoxian sighed: "Qingming likes you."

Reiko blinked: "Don't be kidding."

"I'm not kidding. Except for you, who else have you seen Qingming get so close to? Who else can live in his house for a year or so?"

What kind of feeling is liking, Reiko doesn't know.

In the past days, she never liked others, and no one liked her.She didn't have the guidance of her parents, and she didn't have any close friends to talk about the topics between girls. She just lay alone on the hillside forever, looking at the mountains in the distance, looking forward to something she didn't know.

Qingming, do you like her?

Looking at Lingzi's confused expression, Baoxian said with hatred: "Think about how you were like a hen guarding its cubs just now, if I told Qingming that something serious happened, you might eat me right away, really This is the first time I have seen such a dull woman."

She also likes Qingming?

That's why Reiko acted so fiercely after hearing Seimei's accident.She thought it was calm, but it was precisely the characteristic of extreme impatience.

Animals tend to show a comfortable posture when they are relaxed, and only when they are nervous or frightened will they erect their spikes and expose their minions.

The same is true for Reiko, because she is worried, she will prevent Shikigami from revealing any possibility of Seimei's accident.

"Plop, plop, plop..."

Reiko felt her heart beating again, probably this time...overexercised again.

Qingming still closed her eyes tightly, sleeping there with a painful expression.Sure enough, Seimei was still the usual Seimei holding a fan and looking at Reiko with a smile, a little more beautiful.

Qingming, do you like me?

Reiko wanted to ask this question herself.

"Send me in, send me to Qingming's dream."

"Put your hand on Seimei's forehead, and then close your eyes." Baoxian instructed Reiko while placing two fingers on his lips, ready to cast a spell.

"Well, can I go with you? I have been receiving the influence of Buddhism in the monastery. The Diamond Sutra I recite has the effect of soothing the soul. It should be of help." A strange voice came suddenly.

Lingzi and Baoxian turned their heads in amazement, and saw a young monk carrying a stone statue. What was even more strange was that this young monk had only one eye.

"Master Reiko, this is the one-eyed little monk who asked you and Master Qingming for help earlier." Tong Nan added from the side.

The one-eyed little monk who had been neglected for a long time was not upset, but said with a good temper: "It is said in Buddhism that there must be an effect after a cause. I came here because I asked for something. It must be the enlightenment of the Buddha when I encountered such a thing. , maybe after helping, I can realize my wish."

The aura of the one-eyed little monk was very peaceful, and Bao Xian didn't feel any malice, and he was indeed a little worried about Reiko, so he agreed: "Yes."

"Would Seimei mind if the one-eyed monk sees his dream?" Reiko objected.

"As long as you don't take the initiative to contact it, it can't see it. You will know the specific situation after you go in." Baoxian explained simply.

The dream space is not such a simple thing, it is composed of the dreams of countless people.Everyone's dream is like a soap bubble, which contains colorful memories and fantasies.

What Baoxian has to do now is to put Reiko's soap bubble into Seimei's soap bubble. Only by piercing his own dream first can he enter Seimei's dream.

Reiko and the one-eyed little monk put their hands on Qingming's forehead together, and after a while of difficult and incomprehensible spells, they all fell asleep.

Next, it's up to you

Homo Kamo looked at Reiko and Seimei who were lying on the ground, and silently blessed them.

When Reiko regained consciousness again, what she saw was a black and white photo of a man and a woman standing together smiling.

"It's so pitiful that he died so young."

"Yeah, it's said that she was killed by falling rocks in order to protect her daughter who was running around."

"The surviving child is called Reiko, right? He's been acting weird all day, and he's been lying about monsters. You don't think Natsume and his wife were cursed to death by Reiko?"

"Shh! Stop talking!"

What is this place?

Reiko stared blankly at her small hands that had shrunk several times, and raised her head stiffly to look at those people in formal clothes bowing in front of the photos.

This is her parents' funeral.

Yes, she remembered, she was also a girl who was often scared and cried by monsters when she was a child.

During the summer vacation when Reiko was in the second grade of elementary school, her parents took her to the mountains for vacation.However, she met a very scary monster, and in fear, she pushed her parents away and started running around.

She kept running and running, and the monster kept chasing and chasing.Unknowingly, Reiko ran to the bottom of a cliff marked by falling rocks. When a stone fell, her parents who chased her pushed Reiko away, and then...

Blood was everywhere.

Therefore, it is all right for her to be hated and alienated by others.After all, what qualifications does a child who would kill his own parents have to be forgiven by others?

The scene changed, and a stone fell on Reiko's long hair.

"Broom star, get out, don't bring disaster to us." A senior boy stepped on a football and looked at Reiko triumphantly.

Behind the boy, there was a large group of lower grade children cheering him on, as if he had done such a heroic thing.

Reiko's brown eyes looked indifferently at the wall behind the boy: "Tongue, almost licking your neck."

The boy showed a startled look: "What are you talking about? Do you think this kind of lie will scare me?"

"Children of humans, can you see me?" A monster with disheveled hair and a wagging tongue said while looking at Reiko.

"Boring." Reiko turned and left.

"Ah, mere human, you can see me, I'm going to eat you!" The monster crawled towards Reiko like a reptile.

"Get out!" Reiko's eyes flashed a stern look, "Otherwise... I'll kill you!"

The monster trembled all over, and then retreated quickly.

"What, what, I'll let you go today!" The senior boy backed away slowly, and then hurriedly left with a group of juniors.

Be it humans or youkai, they are all such weak creatures.

If she could understand this earlier, her parents would not have passed away just because they protected her who was young and ignorant.

Reiko shook the schoolbag on her shoulders and walked slowly back to the house where she was staying. The setting sun cast Reiko's shadow very long.

The author has something to say:

ps: Don't you urge Seimei to be castrated every day, aren't castrated Seimei and intact Seimei both Seimei?Maybe after the castration, you guys are urging to fit together every day...
