[Seshomaru Doujin] Shenyue

Time flies by between Yingxian's drunkenness and waking up. What Shenyue did not expect is that the most sad thing for Yingxian has just begun.

On that day, Ying Xian was walking in the forest, but encountered a snake demon wrapping a little girl tightly, and was about to devour her.Yingxian rescued the little girl from the mouth of the snake demon and sent her back to the village.

"Thank you, Master Onmyoji." The girl's parents bowed to Ying Xian repeatedly in front of the dilapidated wooden house, while wiping away tears, "Nadeshiko is seven years old, and his body is weak. It's easy to provoke demons, I really don't know if I can raise her..."

Nadeko!

Shenyue looked at the little girl huddled behind her parents, and said she was seven years old, but the body wrapped in the linen clothes was thin and thin, with a pale face, she looked like she was only four or five years old.

After hearing this, Ying Xian couldn't help squatting down, looked at Nadeko carefully, then touched Fuko's forehead, and said: "This child has a lot of spiritual power in his body, and his bones are good. Naturally, he has the eyes of demons and ghosts." Great meal here. Just..."

"Just what?" Nadeko's parents hurriedly asked.

"It's just that Huiji will be hurt." Yingxian shook his head lightly, "too generous talent is no longer a blessing for her, but a catastrophe. In addition to easily provoking demons, her physical weakness is also due to the spiritual power in her body It is so abundant that it is unbearable for an ordinary person's body, let alone she is only a child." Yingxian paused, and then continued: "Even if she can grow up safely, her lifespan will not be very long."

Nadeko's mother burst into sobs when she heard this.Nadeko's father supported his wife and asked, "Is there any way to save Nadeko?"

Yingxian lowered his head halfway, and after a long silence, he opened his mouth and said, "There is nothing I can do about life extension..."

Just when Yingxian turned around to leave, he suddenly felt a pull behind him.He turned his head, but it was the little Nadeshiko who grabbed his sleeve.

Yingxian hesitated for a moment, but he didn't pull out his sleeve after all, but asked calmly, "What do you want to say?"

Nadeko raised her head and looked straight at Ying Xian, her thin cheeks made her eyes extraordinarily large.Suddenly, she opened her mouth, her voice was thin and weak—"Help...I...please...help me..."

Shenyue was at the side, stunned.She seemed to have seen the moment after Yingxian was implanted into the flesh and blood of the demon race, her pride was shattered, she could only kneel down on the ground, her face was pale and helpless, and she murmured helplessly: "Help me... Who can help me……"

But he has no way to go to heaven, no way to go to earth, and the only person watching his memories can't even comfort him.

—no one rescued him.

Yingxian looked at Nadeko, thought of something, but said nothing for a long time.

After a while, he suddenly bent down and hugged Nadeko, but his head was half down, his expression buried in the shadows.

"Okay. I'll save you." Shenyue heard him speak word by word, "You worship me as your teacher. Although I can't help you prolong your life, I can teach you spells so that you won't be afraid of those monsters!"

After hearing this, Fuzi's parents shed tears of joy, and immediately bowed down to Yingxian.Nadeko was in his arms, and said crisply: "Master!"

Yingxian began to come to Nadeko's village every day to teach her spells.What Yingxian said was right. Although Nadeko is physically weak, she is indeed gifted. No matter how complicated the technique is, as long as she demonstrates it once, Nadeko can master it immediately, and she can even draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

Shenyue could tell that Yingxian liked this disciple very much.

Otherwise, he wouldn't leave before dusk every day, and even use spells to keep going until night falls, staying far away from where Nadeshiko is.

But at this time, doubts arose in Shenyue's heart.

When she met Nadeko, Nadeko was almost seriously ill, but now Nadeko is only weak, far from the level when they first met.

Is it really because of Nadeko's short lifespan?Could it be that when she met Nadeko, Nadeko's lifespan was nearing the end?

Yingxian's teaching lasted for a long time, and gradually, he became familiar with everyone in the village.Occasionally there are monsters harassing the village, at first, he will help.Later, if the monsters were not too powerful, Nadeko would go alone.

The villagers thanked him for his protection and built a shrine for him and Nadeshiko.

Shenyue watched Nadeko's shrine, which had taken her in, grow from scratch little by little, and suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart.

The karma of the past gathers here and extends infinitely toward the future.Cause produces fruit, and fruit creates cause, and countless causes and effects circulate each other, driving further and further on the road of fate.

After the shrine was completed, Yingxian took Nadeshiko to live in the shrine so that Nadeshiko could practice.

But in this way, his behavior of leaving the village at dusk became even more strange in Nadeshiko's eyes.Nadeko asked many times, but Yingxian always avoided answering.

Later, Yingxian planted a cherry tree in the courtyard of the shrine and urged it to grow with divine power.At that time, it was March in Yangchun, and as soon as the breeze passed, countless falling reds fluttered like snow.

"Don't be afraid if you live alone at the shrine at night." Yingxian smiled at Nadeko, "If you really can't sleep, you can look at the cherry blossoms."

"I'm not afraid!" Nadeko almost rushed to Ying Xian, "I'm worried about you! Master!"

At this time, another gust of spring breeze blew by, and a few fallen cherry blossoms fell on Nadeshiko's shoulders.Yingxian brushed off the petals for Nadeko in silence, and after a while, he only asked, "Have you finished your homework for today?"

"Master! I'm really worried about you!" The young Nadeko stubbornly raised her head and looked at Yingxian, "I am your disciple, if you have anything, I can help you!"

"Talking about him like this, it seems that he hasn't finished his studies." Yingxian said lightly, "Don't be lazy, just do what you should do."

After hearing this, Nadeko looked at Yingxian hesitantly, and left the courtyard anyway.Just when her figure was about to disappear, she left a sentence, "Master, I will definitely help you!"

Ying Xian has been standing in the courtyard since then, when the strong wind blows, countless flying cherry blossoms fall on his hair and clothes, he doesn't seem to notice it, but his eyes are getting deeper and deeper.

After a long time, Shenyue heard him say a word softly.

"Can you... save me?"
