[Onmyoji] Set a small goal first

Chapter 19 Blooming Courtyard

The farewell to Ibaraki was not as thrilling as their encounter, and the separation was almost trivial compared to that.The most amazing thing is that Gui Xuliu even forgot to tell the other party her own name. The rescuer and the rescued party forgot this at the same time. If she hadn't been able to see other people's past through the eyes of reality, she would not have known that she rescued A man named Ibaraki Doji.

When Guixu returned to the house under the name of Huakaiyuan in the city with the only remaining teleportation talisman, she belatedly remembered why the name Ibaraki Doji was so familiar.The famous ghost of Rashomon in ancient Japanese mythology, Ibaraki Doji, is still a small shrimp; if it is not the same name and surname.

She quickly changed back to her original clothes, put on a mask and prayer beads, and then got back under the covers and continued to pretend that she was seriously ill.The Broom God took away the outfit she had changed, and everything went smoothly. She thought that there would be delicious saury when she went back, and she even began to flatter herself in advance, completely forgetting about the need to make up excuses for Xiuyuan.

It wasn't until Teacher Xian'er came back with a group of energetic little radish heads that she realized that there seemed to be something wrong, because she usually didn't need to eat, and Xiuyuan seemed to exempt her from the right to eat, saying that it was to save food from being wasted?

Just when she was about to get angry, Teacher Xian'er came in, so she had to pretend to be weak and call out to him.Teacher Xian'er didn't think there was anything wrong, he just told her after confirming that Gui Xuliu's fever had almost subsided, Tsubaki and Hua Jian had already gone back with Group B, and they didn't seem to be used to the food here. live, so today she can have a room to herself, and they will return tomorrow.

It's understandable that Hua Fang is clamoring to go back, but Chun... Gui Xuliu always feels that she doesn't seem like someone who would leave the team early for such a reason.No time to think about it, Teacher Xian'er has already ordered food to be brought to her. He said that sick people should eat more to replenish their strength. Gui Xuliu was very touched, this is how normal people treat patients.

Unfortunately, they did not return the next day as Teacher Xian Er said.

That night, Mr. Xian'er suddenly called all the people together and asked everyone to go back to Huakaiyuan's home overnight.Everyone was very dissatisfied when the little radishheads were called up from the bed. They had just watched such a thrilling drama during the day, but at night they were very sleepy when they exhausted their energy. It won't be good.

But the always talkative teacher Xian Er was uncharacteristically serious this time, he didn't take care of everyone's emotions with a coaxing tone, but ordered everyone to get in the car and leave immediately.Gui Xuliu silently fell at the end of the line and got into the car. At first, the children were chattering about why they had to drive all night, but in the end, no one could beat the repeated mechanical hypnosis of the rolling wheels, and they all fell asleep.

Gui Xuliu's right eye allows her to see the moon and stars in the deep night sky through the car window, but her heart sinks as the distance from Kyoto gets closer.

Something must have happened...

After a sleepless night, the convoy finally arrived at Huakaiyuan’s home before the first ray of dawn fell on the ground.Taking advantage of the time when the little carrot heads were woken up one by one and dragged out of the car, Gui Xuliu looked into the gate of Huakaiyuan's house.

She has never really looked at this place carefully. Its gates are simple and solemn, and there is an indelible luxurious charm hidden in the system imitating the Tang Dynasty. Every building is full of thick and delicate atmosphere.

Architecture is full of breath, the older it is, the thicker it is, the more popular it is, the more iteratively passed down, the more timeless it is, and the flowers and trees are alive.The family of Huakai Academy has gone through a lot of ingenuity and respect and love from the successors to achieve what it is today.As the winds come and go, the cherry trees planted back then have already bloomed for countless rounds. After so long, I am afraid that I am in a trance, and it is inevitable to hear old people laughing in the faint fragrance and sparse shadows.

It turns out that Huakai Yuan's family is like this.

She walked slowly towards the depths of the house with a group of people, and her heavy heart gradually became calm.

When we got to the only way back to the back house, there were several old men in expensive hunting clothes and a few young men waiting for a long time.Among the group of children, they only focused on Gui Xuliu.Seeing their appearance, Gui Xuliu found that they could not cause any waves in her mood.

An old man surrounded by him stared at Gui Xuliu gloomily without saying a word, and said, "Take it away!"

The young juniors gathered around, waved away the few children in front who hadn't figured out the situation, grabbed Gui Xuliu's arm and turned it behind him, then tied the hemp rope tightly.These young people in their twenties are very strong, and they don't seem to regard Gui Xuliu as a child at all. If they were ordinary children, their arms would have been broken by such a strong force.The material of the hemp rope is very rough, and it hurts the skin left by Gui Xu.The man who tied her up was probably afraid that she would rebel without understanding, so he slapped her on the back to make her calm down. This slap happened to hit the part where she was injured by the magic talisman.

Gui Xuliu let out a muffled snort, the wound probably started to ooze blood.She glanced up at the man and remembered his appearance.

"Grandpa Liangmu? What are you doing...Brother Fang! Why are you beating Gui Xuliu!"

The actions of these people were not unresponsive, at least, the children who were pushed away questioned the unusualness of all this, but the only one who really asked was Rina, who was never afraid of causing trouble.He seemed to know these people, and he was angry at what happened to Gui Xuliu.

"Hey, why are you tying her up! This is too much!"

The kid even wanted to rush up and tear people apart, but was stopped by those adults.One of the old men softened his tone after seeing him, and said to him, "It's Ryona, your father is still waiting for you at home, go back quickly."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the teacher Xian Er who led the team, and the latter immediately said with interest that he would take these children back to the court to disband.

In this way, Liang Nai was reluctantly taken away together with other children, and then Gui Xuliu left with this group of gloomy and rude guys without any doubt.From the beginning to the end, she did not express any dissent, not even the unavoidable crying of normal children due to fear, she would not know, this further proved that she was a monster in the eyes of this group of people.

When she was locked in the firewood room, a young man who was not serious throughout the whole process asked her if she had anything else to say, as if asking her to confess her last words.She thought about it, but still shook her head, really not knowing what to say.The old man named Liang Mu who followed seemed to be the little leader among them. He snorted and ordered someone to take away the prayer beads left by Gui Xu.

"Yes!"

The young man who hit her before immediately came over and said that it would be better to grab the string of Buddhist beads hanging around her neck than pick it off. Gui Xuliu took a step back and avoided the man's hand just right.

"You! Bring it here!"

Unexpectedly, he was avoided by a child, who stretched out his hand angrily and wanted to hit someone, but was stopped by the old man hidden in the crowd who had never spoken. This was also the first time he spoke tonight.

"This side, don't be ashamed of yourself. Being dodged by an eight-year-old child with Yu steps, your practice all these years has been in the stomach of a dog! You still don't retreat!"

This party had no choice but to back down unwillingly, while glaring at Gui Xuliu viciously, he said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Yingquan."

Gui Xuliu looked at the old man who spoke out to help, the old man was full of hair, and seemed to be the oldest in the group.The old man nodded to her indiscriminately, but Gui Xuliu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the young onmyoji next to him who was always gentle: "You will keep it safe for me, right?"

The man seemed a little surprised that Gui Xuliu would choose him. He glanced at the old man named Yingquan, and then promised that Gui Xuliu would keep the beads for her properly and return them on time.His words aroused the dissatisfaction of some other people, but Gui Xuliu ignored them, but told the young man seriously:

"Please, this is given to me by my master. My master is poor and stingy. If he loses it, he will definitely not be able to give me a second string. I will keep everything he gave me and will not throw it away. Well, anyway, it's important to me."

Hearing her dry words, the young man was a little dumbfounded, and suddenly felt that this was just a child.

The transparent, clean, and plump beads were removed from the neck, and a sense of loss emerged spontaneously, and then quickly evolved into restless anger flooding my heart.Gui Xuliu gritted her teeth, turned around and walked into the dark woodshed, she kept telling herself in her heart not to be impulsive again.

... You can't cause trouble for Xiuyuan anymore.

The door was closed and locked, and there were two guards outside the door.

Gui Xuliu sat down with a thud, and threw up a cloud of dust. I don't know how many years such a thick dust has accumulated.She held her breath, and waited for the dust to stop flying around, before taking a deep breath.

She knew from the moment she set foot on the return journey that things had been revealed.

Along the way, she kept thinking about where she could go if she escaped, what punishment she would get if she went back, and how she could fight for her own rights... Then she found sadly that she seemed to be unable to do anything, she probably jumped out of the car and escaped. He will cut off his arms and legs first, and he will probably be destroyed humanely when he returns to Huakai Yuan’s family.After all, her behavior of letting Ibaraki go and cheating Ibis of Huakaiyuan by the way is almost equivalent to the fact that a traitor appeared in our party during the KMT period. This is the end of direct shooting!

However, things were not as bad as she thought.

Because, well, things always seem a lot easier when someone is standing in front of you.

Suddenly there was a very slight movement on the wall of the firewood room. If you don't listen carefully, you can't find it at all, but Gui Xuliu looked in that direction without any surprise, and called out: "Broom God."

A moment later a broom rolled through the wall, kicking up a cloud of dust.

[Wow, this place is so dirty, so dirty, so dirty!The broom god really wants to clean it up!Sweep up! 】

Gui Xuliu grabbed the broom god's head and brought it over, saying, "Don't worry, when you sweep the floor, show me what's going on with Xiuyuan first!"

As soon as she entered the capital, she asked the broom god to go back to Huakaiyuan's house to find out the situation for her. The broom god had the invisibility talisman given by Xiuyuan attached to her body. Who else in the Huakaiyuan family could solve Xiuyuan's amulet?So Gui Xuliu was very assured that the broom god would not be discovered by anyone.

Just now she couldn't wait to grab the broom god, but at this moment her hand that was holding the broom god was trembling.

【Owner?Are you cold? 】

Broom God asked puzzledly.

"No... nothing."

Gui Xuliu was stunned, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he looked into the memory of Shushen.

……

The first thing that caught the eye was a room that was gradually brightening. There were many lights in the room, and there were endless whispers. There was an old man who was very sinister when he heard the voice, interrupting everyone's discussion.

"The Huakai family can't keep that little monster anymore, she will bring disaster to us!"

Gui Xuliu recognized him, this person was the old man who took the lead to arrest her, but he didn't expect that he was already yelling at her to kill her before he came.And his words were like falling the first domino, which attracted a series of echoes.

"Yeah, she didn't have the noble lineage of the Huakaiin family, but now she even helps the monster!"

"She must be a monster too! Only monsters help monsters!"

"I heard that she looks frightening, so I put on a mask to show people."

"Maybe she is still a remnant of the Yuyi Fox Clan, don't forget about the missing daughter of the Hanhejiang clan!"

"In that case, wouldn't it endanger Kyoto?"

Gui Xuliu was dumbfounded. Three hundred ducks held a meeting, and the logic of these people is probably worse than that of ducks!It's really hard for her to imagine how these people graduated from the intermediate class with such a chicken-catching IQ, so they really graduated, right?

Seeing that the atmosphere was warm enough, the old man who took the lead continued: "Everyone, you and I both know that this is for the safety of Kyoto and the Hanakain family. If monsters cannot be eliminated, how can human beings survive? However, the attitude of the [-]th generation towards monsters... Hmph, seeing how tolerant he is to that slippery ghost, it can be seen that the way of expecting this little monster to help the monster is also derived from the true biography."

This old head has a good rhythm... Although she knew that what she saw was only the memory of the broom god, she still wanted to rush up and beat that old immortal!

Just when her anger was about to erupt, the old man said a word, no matter what fire she had, she would be drowned out.

"...Although the thirteenth generation is the strongest patriarch of the Hanakain family in history, he forcibly summoned the Pojun to destroy the feather fox and suppressed its minions, and his spiritual power has been damaged."

The old man squinted his eyes, and his words were full of calculations, "You probably don't know, in addition to covering his face, he also gave that little monster a string of Buddhist beads. Those are not ordinary beads. Master Kong Jing has not been a human being for many years. Have you made beads? The price given by the thirteen generations this time is really, not small!"

Someone immediately lowered his voice and said, "Master Kong Jing's prayer beads have always needed strong and pure spiritual power to form. Could it be that the thirteen generations..."

Gui Xuliu felt that her heart was clenched following the man's deliberately lowered voice, and her intuition told her that this matter was very important, but when it came to an end, she really wanted to run away.These two emotions overlapped and collided, making her extremely anxious, wishing to jump out and grab that old man's collar and shake it fiercely, telling you to play suspense!Tell you to play suspense!

She was so nervous that she began to swallow.

Finally, the old man made a final decision: "No, lifespan is better than spiritual power."

Lifespan...

Lifespan!

Gui Xuliu's heart seemed to be pulled hard by someone, she wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, her chest hurt and she was happy at the same time, as if she was sick.

"So, on the side of the thirteenth generation, we have to put pressure on him, but we don't have to tear ourselves apart. After all, he is still the head of the house, and Tsubaki is still young, and we still need time to train a new head of the house."

The old man's voice seemed to be floating in the sky, and Gui Xu listened attentively and heard him say firmly: "It's time to let the Thirteen Daimu know the attitude of the Elders' Council. He's acting like this, he doesn't look like a qualified Patriarch."

The screen turned dark amid the voices of a group of people who shared the same hatred.

Gui Xuliu just wanted to take back that sentence, her master really couldn't give her the second string of beads, but he was not stingy, not at all.
