[Onmyoji] Set a small goal first

The master and the servant chatted for a while in the wing room, and the two little shikigami who had taken care of Gui Xuliu before knocked on the door and came in. They prepared toiletries and new clothes for Gui Xuliu.Gui Xuliu was a little surprised why new clothes were given to her. After the battle of Yu Yihu, her clothes had long been unreadable, so they had prepared new clothes for her.

When her eyes touched the neatly folded set of clothes, she couldn't help being startled.

...That is a set of hunting clothes that only onmyojis are qualified to wear.

"Master Xiuyuan said, go see him after you change your clothes, he has something to tell you."

The female shikigami looked at her like this and smiled, and the other male shikigami added unwillingly: "Yesterday you got drunk and went crazy after drinking too much. No one can hold you alone!"

Gui Xuliu: ...

After finishing speaking, the two villains who feared that the world would not be chaotic walked away leisurely.

Gui Xuliu spent a quarter of an hour researching how to put on this hunting coat, but the difficult action of tying hair and wearing a hat was really powerless.After tossing herself, she picked up the broom god who was being silly by the side, and went out with her hair loose in such a majestic manner.Fortunately, she is not a road idiot, and according to yesterday's memory, she walked all the way to Xiuyuan's residence, but she did not go wrong, but there were many doubtful and confused looks on the road from time to time, which were all ignored by Gui Xuliu.

She came to Xiuyuan all the way unimpeded. During the period, she specially tasted the garden layout of Huakai Yuan's family, and finally came to the conclusion that the scenery here is good. It would be even better if there was a fountain and a big windmill. alright.

The imperial curtain in the wing room was rolled up, and the sky was shining into the space behind the curtain. Xiuyuan stopped fiddling with the talisman paper in her hand, looked at her with a smile on her back, and said, "Ah, Liu Jiang is here, today is a good day." Stop being crazy about drinking."

Gui Xu remained silent, this man was not embarrassed at all.But after thinking about it, it wasn't him who went crazy and lost his composure. Of course he didn't need to be embarrassed. She was the only one who was ashamed. The one who can calm down and pretend nothing happened is the one who is thicker than the city wall.

In a daze, she seemed to hear someone on the other side sighing,

"Come here, I have something good for you."

Looking up, he saw Xiuyuan's smiling face again, Gui Xuliu walked over and sat down, thinking that he had heard wrong, how could this person sigh like that.

It's like a sad sigh.

"Are you bringing friends?" Xiuyuan seemed very interested in the broom god that Gui Xuliu had dragged here, and greeted it without seeing him, and then he handed Gui Xuliu an ordinary wood Box, said, "Open it and see if you like it, keep the sauce."

Although the wooden box was very ordinary and didn't look like a high-end item, Gui Xuliu took it solemnly and placed it on his lap.She knocked on the small lock, and with a click, the wooden box opened a crack, and in an instant, the light inside leaked out of the crack like mercury pouring down the ground.The aura flowed to Gui Xuliu's fingertips, and she immediately felt a burst of refreshing coolness, which seemed to melt into the blood along the fingertips, soothing her restless and beating heart.

The box was completely opened, and the compelling light dissipated gradually in the form of mist, revealing the real treasure—thin round beads that were strung together in a line, and the natural jade color was free of impurities, just looking at it It's as if I'm sitting on a pagoda in a Zen temple, and I can smell the snow falling in three thousand courtyards.

Facing such a beautiful and rare piece, Guixu didn't know what to do for a while, he looked at it, and then at Xiuyuan.Until the man's hand picked up the beads, the figure of an adult man who was already very tall for a little girl enveloped her, like a green hill firmly blocking the increasingly dazzling light outside the window...Suddenly, her neck felt cold, and she Looking down, the beads had landed on her neck.

While she was bowing her head, she clearly heard a sigh from above her head.

...like a sigh of distress.

Everything in just a few seconds seemed to be covered with a layer of dreamy color, so gentle that it moved people to tears.

Gui Xuliu pursed his lips and turned his head away. He didn't look at Xiuyuan who purposely squatted down to be at her eye level, but heard him say in a particularly peaceful tone: "Anyone has the right to resist misfortune, but human beings are weak and easily lost. Creatures may go astray at any time in the process of resistance. You are the same, Liu Jiang, don’t forget that you always have a human heart.”

The man's tone of voice without much turbulence was strangely pleasant to the ear, as if he was expounding an extremely ordinary matter, which just rightly soothed Gui Xuliu Jiang's heart that was always in a riot—so, she also listened calmly, Enjoy this moment of peace of mind and body from the bottom of your heart.

"You are a talented child, don't waste it, when you can become a great onmyoji, you will have countless opportunities to see the stars," he seemed to regard Gui Xuliu as a child, and seemed to be with a man who was with him He talked with an equal person, "The Hanhejiang family has nothing to do with you. Whether you will see a dark night or a bright galaxy in your future life depends on you."

Gui Xu turned his head back and looked directly at him, the warm light like flowing gold shot into his eyes, he saw the little girl's face flashed with surprise, joy, pain... and so on, and finally, she stopped at a daze , she wrinkled Xiuyuan's sleeves as if grabbing a life-saving straw, her voice trembling.

"Say it again, say that sentence again!"

Xiuyuan condoned her faux pas, and tacitly didn't ask her what she wanted to hear.

"Then let's emphasize it again, everything is over, the Hanhejiang family has nothing to do with you."

What she wanted must be this sentence, and only this sentence.

"It doesn't matter how many times you say it, it's over, you're free now, you're safe."

"...Am I free? Am I safe?"

The little girl muttered and chewed repeatedly, and then, a crystal clear teardrop fell on the back of Xiuyuan's hand, which was warm and soft.Gui Xuliu quickly let go of Xiuyuan's sleeve as if he had just woken up from a dream, reached out to wipe away his tears, and smiled.

"Yeah, it's over, it's good, it's over, I'm fine, I feel really good now!"

Xiuyuan smiled silently, and rubbed her head as she did when she was still controlling Gotsuji Shizuku, probably because her emotions hadn't recovered yet, Gui Xuliu didn't notice his movements, so naturally she didn't even protest.

After a while, Gui Xuliu calmed down very quickly. She deeply doubted whether Xiuyuan had minored in psychology or something. Although there is no such thing in this era...but she had to admit that the chicken soup was extremely filling. good.

Seeing that her mood was mostly stable, Xiuyuan handed her a rectangular piece of paper.

To be precise, it is a half-face mask made of a piece of paper attached to a very thin silk.A strange symbol was drawn on the paper.

"Prayer beads are used to dispel hostility and calm the body and mind. It is good for you to wear it. As for this mask, your vision will not be affected after you wear it, but others will not be able to see your face, and it will not be touched by wind and rain."

He motioned Gui Xuliu to put it on for a try, and after doing so, Gui Xuliu found that it was exactly as she said, the paper was like glasses that would not block her sight, and people could only see its thin borders; Although it hangs down naturally, it will not change at all due to human movements.There are also Buddhist beads, although she has not put them on for a while, she can already feel the slight coolness emanating from this string of small things is effectively cooling her restless heart.

Her momentary trance was soon interrupted by Xiuyuan's words, the other's tone seemed to say that the weather is really nice today.He said that since Gui Xuliu is so suitable to wear hunting clothes, it is better to learn Yin Yang art. Even though Gui Xuliu is not a descendant of the Huakaiyuan family, he can still reluctantly accept her as a disciple.

After hearing this, Gui Xu was speechless for a while.

The implication of this person is that he still intends to naturalize her.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiuyuan didn't intend to say more, but just looked at her quietly, smiled and said "take your time" as the concluding remark.

The room was silent, and just when Gui Xuliu started to feel embarrassed, her stomach growled.

I don't know how to put it, the original embarrassment dissipated, but a new embarrassment came again...

Xiuyuan covered her mouth lightly with a folding fan and smiled like a fox, the most cunning kind.In Gui Xuliu's eyes, he summoned the two little Shikigami to entrust Gui Xuliu to their care.Of course, the two little shikigami happily agreed, and they didn't forget to spoil the second in command of the Huakaiyuan Family who hadn't masked his name for a long time——

"This little girl is beautiful, it's not a loss to take care of her!"

"And you don't have to see that bald brother anymore, so happy!"

These two shikigami are really filled with a Y0oooooooo aura... This made Gui Xuliu feel inexplicably panicked about making shikigami, and she began to think from the bottom of her heart that if she made paper shikigami in the future God must carefully restrain his words and deeds, even if it is a piece of paper, he must also speak about the core values ​​of socialism, for example, remarks like child brides-in-law will be pulled out and shot!

Two little Shikigami bounced around to lead the way, Gui Xuliu got up and followed them out of Xiuyuan's room.Before stepping out of the compartment door, she said thank you softly, and she didn't know if Xiuyuan heard it, although she felt that the possibility that the other party didn't hear it was very slim.

When walking with Shikigami on the road, Guixu kept tumbling over what Xiuyuan had said to her and the attitude she had shown these days.

... It would be a lie to say that there is no doubt.

If you ask her what kind of person Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan is, she will answer that he is a cunning and calm person.

There is bound to be sympathy in human nature, but other aspects of human nature will determine how much this sympathy will be weakened in the end.Calm people tend to be more cautious. Gui Xuliu believes that Xiuyuan sympathizes with her, but she doesn't know where Xiuyuan draws the bottom line of this kind of tolerance, so she can't help but guard against such a powerful person.

She didn't know, maybe when the other party's caution would overwhelm her sympathy and wipe her out completely.

After all, Xiuyuan is always a calm person.

But she is still grateful to him, grateful to him for telling her about the purpose of God, grateful to him for teaching her as a concubine, and grateful to him for giving her the right to walk around the main house of Huakai Courtyard openly... even if these imply disguised use , but the benefits are real, and she is grateful to the other party.

As he said, take your time.

She had to give the other party a chance, and the other party also needed her to prove that she would not disappoint his kindness.

I hope that if I ask her again in a long time, what kind of person is Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan?She can answer, um... Actually, he is a good person.

……

A news quickly spread among the Huakaiyuan family that the Thirteenth Generation had accepted a disciple, and this disciple was not yet a descendant of the Huakaiyuan family.From now on, this girl will learn Yin-Yang Art together with the children of her family. If she can pass the audit of Yin-Yang Liao after she becomes an adult, she will be able to join Ping An Liao under the name of Huakaiyuan.

"What do the elders think? How can they agree to let people who are not from our clan learn our Yin-Yang art!"

After hearing about this incident, one of the head of the separated family said so.

The cousin of the family who was close to him took a sip of tea, his face was not obvious, but his tone was not very pleasant, "It is well known that the thirteenth generation has outstanding abilities. Which of the elders of our clan can surpass him?"

Hearing this, he immediately got the approval of the other head of the branch family: "This statement is true, but this time the thirteenth generation has gone too far. Even if you want to recruit apprentices, you should choose from the children who entered the family! How can you take advantage of outsiders? !"

As soon as the words came out, many people agreed, and many people sneered. Who didn't know that this man's son was just promoted and selected into the family for cultivation last month, and now he would not treat himself as an outsider. Master Xiuyuan would accept his son if he didn't accept that wild girl, so shameless.

At this time, another in-law of the same family said: "It was also rumored that the family of Onmyojis took in the descendants of nobles with good qualifications as apprentices. In my opinion, as long as the qualifications are good, it doesn't matter if they are not from the same clan. But, I don't know what the origin of this child is. If she is some kind of country girl who can't make it into the elegant hall, then it will be a headache!"

The person who spoke was a middle-class nobleman from the family of Huakai Yuan, who had recommended his own nephew several times but failed, so when he opened his mouth and everyone didn't understand, they couldn't help feeling ashamed and dared to do anything. Xiao wants them to bloom, Yuanshi!

Someone couldn't help but said: "A few days ago, the Hanhejiang clan's two adults were almost wiped out and only one son escaped, but I heard that he still has a young daughter whose whereabouts are unknown. If you ask me, this Hanhejiang clan is not an ordinary noble... "

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, a bald-headed man frowned and shouted to stop everyone's different thoughts. Although he was not very old, even the Patriarchs present had to obey the order to silence, and the room suddenly fell silent.Sitting obliquely behind the bald head was an old man with bearded eyebrows and white hair. He had been sitting quietly with his eyes closed. When everyone was quiet, his eyes suddenly opened a crack, revealing a glint of light.

"Noisy, what a shame."

The old man's voice was not loud, but everyone's hearts were heavy and they kept silent.

Behind him is a huge brush calligraphy on a white background, with a big and vigorous character written on it - Dao!

"Who is the thirteenth generation willing to accept as an apprentice, no one else can comment, but since he handed the child over to the clan school, he has already shown his attitude," the old man narrowed his eyes and scanned around the people present, those who were touched by his eyes People lowered their heads to avoid it, and when he saw this, he slowly closed his eyes, and said in a moderate voice, "Anyone who feels injustice can ask Xiuyuan to explain it to him."

Probably feeling bored, everyone sat for a while, and soon left one after another.The old man seemed to have expected this a long time ago, and he didn't even open his eyes.

After everyone left, after a long time, he suddenly murmured in a low voice with extreme contempt: "Hmph, monsters and monsters."

The bald head not far from him asked doubtfully, "Uncle?"

The old man waved his hand, and said slowly to him: "The matter of the feather fox has troubled him, and it is a big deal for him to rest and recuperate... As for other things, you just need to pay more attention... Remember, Since he has done this, he naturally has his own considerations, and those of us who can't help, don't make trouble for him."

The bald head immediately said yes.

The old man paused, as if he was talking to him, or to himself, and murmured: "Master Kong Jing's prayer beads are not easy to ask for, he really cares about that child, we can't Recklessly……"

The author has something to say:

I really want to say that those who dive to read the text let me hear your voices! !But it would be embarrassing if I said so without commenting at all...
