[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

Reiko in second grade... Reiko in fourth grade... Reiko in middle school... Reiko in high school...

Those faded memories once again appeared in front of Reiko with incomparable clarity, in various forms.There are all kinds of monsters.The perverted person, the little girl who could only run away timidly, finally grew into the invincible Natsume Reiko who protected herself with a smile and force.

But are these what she really wants?

Stay, stay, as long as she stays in her dream forever, she can get what she desires most.

A voice whispered in Reiko's ear like this.

All the pictures became fragmented like a mirror. Father and mother stood in the dark depths, smiling and stretching out their arms to Reiko: "Reiko, come quickly to Mom and Dad. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up." Come here!"

Dad, Mom...

Reiko raised her right foot slightly, but quickly put it down again.

"Do you think that I'm still that child who can only hide in the arms of my parents and cry?" Reiko looked at the dark sky with a mocking smile on her lips.

It's not that Lingzi doesn't love her parents, on the contrary, the only day when she was pampered is the most precious treasure in Lingzi's life.

It's just that, compared to endlessly nostalgic for the past, Reiko values ​​the present life more.

Since the current life is very happy, why bother to hold on to the illusory past and not let go?

It's not that Reiko didn't hate this world, and she once maliciously hoped that monsters would suddenly appear in front of those who laughed at her, and then appreciate the scene of those people being scared to shit.

It's just that living is already a painful enough thing, if you keep staring at those dark things, wouldn't it be no fun at all?

So, let those unpleasant things go away.

Mom and Dad, she will live a happy life, and she will live a good life with your share.

Reiko looked at her parents' faces, and she believed that they would understand her choice.

"Really, Reiko, you can think this way, and Mom and Dad will be relieved. You must be happy, Reiko." The mother put her palms on her chest and looked at Reiko tenderly.

"If that brat treats you badly, Dad will beat you back!" The father waved his fist and winked.

"Don't worry, if this kind of thing really happens, I will beat it back myself." Reiko tried her best to raise the corners of her mouth and smiled happily.

"So, Mom and Dad really left this time." The mother looked at Lingzi reluctantly, as if she wanted to firmly engrave Lingzi's growing up in her heart.

The father gently embraced his mother's shoulders, and slowly turned around: "Well done, my child. No matter what happens to you in the future, please remember that Mom and Dad will always love you."

"Goodbye, Reiko."

"Goodbye... Reiko."

The figures of the parents disappeared into the darkness again, as if they had never existed.

Reiko raised her head high and tried her best to smile, with tears dripping from the corners of her eyes: "Really, why are you talking so touchingly? I won't cry!"

Goodbye, Dad, Mom.

She loves you too, very, very much.

A golden halo lit up in the darkness, from small to large, slowly walking towards Reiko.

"Master Reiko, is that you?" It was the voice of the one-eyed monk.

Reiko wiped her eyes casually with her sleeve, then patted her face: "It's me, why are you here?"

The one-eyed little monk breathed a sigh of relief: "I have been looking for Master Reiko since I came out of my dream, please stand by my side, under the protection of the Diamond Sutra, there is no way for witches and gu masters to invade our dreams again. "

After all, the one-eyed little monk whispered the mantra of the "Diamond Sutra", and a bright circle of light also appeared around Reiko.

"This is Master Reiko's dream, so as long as Reiko needs it, you can find the entrance to Master Seimei's dream."

The generation of dreams comes from the latent consciousness of human beings. Theoretically speaking, Reiko, who is the master of dreams, has omnipotent power in her dreams, but whether she can use this power depends on Reiko herself.

Reiko slowly closed her eyes, imagining that a door connecting Seimei and her dream appeared in front of her, and she could touch it as long as she stretched out her hand.

The one-eyed little monk looked at the Guangmen that appeared in front of him, and said earnestly: "Master Reiko, it is not convenient for me to enter Master Seimei's dream. This is the node between dreams and dreams. I will help you guard this door and wait for you." Bring Master Seimei out."

"Please." Reiko nodded her thanks, then took a deep breath and stepped into the door.

Hiss, it's so cold.

This is a forest filled with gloom, and there are faint snake shadows in the sky.Reiko rubbed her arms, unable to understand why Seimei's inner world was so gloomy.

Was Qingming's heart actually so painful?

Reiko frowned and walked along the depths of the forest. This forest should only be the edge of Seimei's dream, and Seimei's place should be the center of the dream, where Seimei can't let go of things.

A trace of black air emerged in the air, and after approaching Reiko, it was purified and dissolved by the one-eyed monk's Diamond Sutra.

A colorful sky curtain stretches across the center of the forest—the memory of Seimei is protected there.

Reiko hesitated for a moment, then walked in.

"Is that the most proud disciple of Mr. Tadyuki Kamo - Abe Seimei? He looks very young. I really don't know why Mr. Tadyuki has taken a fancy to him."

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at that face, maybe it's because of the face..."

Qingming's indifferent eyes fell on the group of broken-mouthed people, like ice in winter.

"Look, what are you looking at? It is said that you are the son of the white fox, right? You are really wild and unruly. Maybe Lord Zhongxing is afraid that you will go out and harm others, so he keeps you by his side."

Qingming narrowed his eyes slightly, and the original pair of slightly raised fox eyes became more narrow and long: "Do you want to compare? In the way of Onmyoji."

"Who, who wants to compete with monsters!" The faceless onmyoji stepped back a few steps and shouted like a fat man with a swollen face.

Yes, all the faces of the onmyojis here are blank except for Qingming. Perhaps Qingming subconsciously believes that such a small person is not eligible to be remembered at all.

"Monster? Ha!" Qingming's tone was softer, but it made people feel that there was a storm brewing in it, "Do you know that the people who called me have already..."

"Qingming, you're here. Father called you over." Homo Kamo, who was much younger than Reiko remembered, hurried over, "There are so many people, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing." Qingming regained his calm expression, he walked up to the onmyoji who just called him a "monster", and patted his shoulder, "I'm discussing some issues about onmyoji with this senior, right? , brother?"

Mingming and Qingming didn't do anything, but the onmyoji suddenly felt his legs go limp and felt like he was about to fall: "Yes, that's right..."

"That's it." Baoxian scratched his head in doubt, not understanding what these mediocre guys had to discuss with Qingming, "If you have any questions, just ask your father, hurry up and go away."

"Understood, senior brother Baoxian." Qingming obediently followed Baoxian and left this place of right and wrong.

But Reiko, as a bystander, clearly saw that when Seimei patted that onmyoji's shoulder, he twisted a hair on that person's shoulder and hid it in the palm of his hand.

Then, while following Baoxian, Seimei opened his fan to cover his mouth, opened his lips lightly, and silently chanted an unknown spell.

The scene in front of him changed, and the onmyoji was lying on the bed, clutching his throat, opening his eyes angrily, dying with regret.

Reiko couldn't help but gasped, so, is this the real Seimei?

……

This is the Suzaku Avenue at night, the stars are dim, a ox cart is driving slowly on the Suzaku Avenue alone, surrounded by four servants holding lanterns.

Abe Seimei, who was still a child, suddenly stopped and looked at the distant sky with a serious face.There is an ominous cloud gathering continuously.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" one of the servants urged dissatisfiedly.

"Over there, there is a demonic aura." Qingming pointed to the sky and said.

The servant rubbed his eyes and looked in the direction Seimei pointed, but he saw nothing.

"Isn't it just that Mr. Zhongxing put him by his side to serve you? Do you really think that you are going to become an onmyoji? He looks like a monster, maybe Mr. Zhongxing took in the monsters."

Qingming didn't speak, just stared at the servant coldly.

The servant was so stared at by Qingming, he pushed Qingming to the ground forcefully, spat, and stepped on Qingming's face with one foot: "Look again, believe it or not, I will gouge out your eyeballs!"

"What happened?" He Mao Zhongxing, who was disturbed by the movement outside, opened the curtain, frowned and looked at Qingming who fell on the ground.

Qingming wiped the shoe prints on his face, and got up on his own: "It's okay, I fell down. Mr. Zhongxing, look at the dark clouds over there."

Zhongxing followed Seimei's line of sight, and his face became very solemn: "It's Hyakki Yako! I'll immediately set up a concealment formation, and wait a while for you to hide inside, and don't make any noise!"

Seimei watched He Mao Zhongxing draw characters one after another around the carriage, and countless characters kept jumping, decomposing, and merging in his mind.

A thing called innate talent was manifested in Qingming at this time. Obviously he was only taken by He Mao Zhongxing as a servant to study for a few days, but at this moment he miraculously understood every component of the formation, and Quick integration.

A small enchantment invisible to the naked eye shrouded the carriage, and Kamo Tadayuki sat in the carriage, while Seimei and the other three servants clung to the wheel, holding their breath, reducing their sense of existence.

As the cloud approached, Seimei could clearly see all kinds of monsters inside.He watched all this greedily, longing for the power to rule these monsters.

"very hungry!"

"I'm really hungry!"

"I really want to eat people!"

"Cannibalism!"

"Wait, it smells like cow!"

One monster after another stopped in front of the carriage, Seimei keenly noticed through the curtain that He Mao Zhongxing pinched a spell, and the figure of the cow reappeared in front of the monster.

"It's a cow!"

"It's really a cow!"

The monster feasted on the ground outside the barrier, and the bright red blood of the cow stained the ground.

"I'm not full yet, I still want to eat!"

"Humans, eat humans!"

Seimei touched the swollen half of her cheek with her hand, and calmly looked at the ferocious monster outside the barrier, and the trembling humans inside the barrier.

He stretched out his hand, recalling the layout of the formation and the formula he just saw, and moved his fingers twice.

"Humans, human beings!"

"Really human! Eat! Delicious!"

The arrogant servant who stepped on Qingming's face turned into piles of broken bones and minced flesh, and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

After the Hundred Ghosts Walked away, the remaining two servants were limp on the ground, their bodies were soaked in sweat, and there was a smell of urine from below.

Only Seimei remained calm and didn't even shed a drop of sweat.

He Mao Zhongxing looked at Qingming with a complicated expression. He saw Qingming's talent and ruthlessness, but after all he couldn't bear to waste a rare talent: "Abe Seimei, you will be my disciple from now on."

"Yes, Master."

That was the first person Qingming killed. It turned out that killing people was nothing more than that.
