[Onmyoji] Set a small goal first

After dinner, Gui Xuliu took his three shikigami with him, and followed Seimei and the others to the summer festival that was said to be held in the middle of the mountain.Seimei and Kagura were both wearing light-colored yukatas and half-covered faces. This attire made their team look well-matched, and others knew they were together at a glance.

Passing through a stone path that is difficult to detect on weekdays, Guixu Xinxin was also very novel about the next activities. She followed Seimei, holding hands with Kagura, brushing away the side branches of hibiscus protruding from the roadside from time to time, and the draft brought in A little bit of coolness makes this summer night not dull.

At the end of the path, white light is flooding. When the last pink hibiscus branch is left aside, there is a towering red-painted torii gate standing in front of you. Lanterns hang high on both sides, reflecting the majestic momentum of the columns and beams.After the torii gate, it is like another world. Bustling stalls occupy both sides of the road, and monsters carrying mobile pavements are scattered in the road, shouting and buying.Lanterns that are not neatly hung run through the wide or winding streets and alleys. Some monsters will wear masks, and some will have no scruples. They hang or carry all kinds of lanterns At first glance, there are high and low lights flickering everywhere, which is really beautiful.

The brightly lit and bustling scene here illuminates the starry sky on a summer night with a special color. It is like sapphire blue in the depths of ink, dotted with shining stars, as if the gift box of God is opened and spread on the dark blue velvet cloth. Brilliant diamonds.

Gui Xuliu sighed for this intoxicatingly beautiful starry sky, she loves this place.

Kagura beside him murmured, "It's not like this during the day, it's just an ordinary shrine."

"Only the summer festival can be so lively. They borrowed the space from the local land god," Qingming smiled, knocked on the folding fan and held it in the palm of his hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

So, like an adult leading a group of children, he took the lead into the world of monsters.

The stalls sell a variety of things, such as skewers, masks, and windmill sugar figurines. These can only be regarded as ordinary. Hair, phoenix feather tassels, eight-treasure ring pendant, everything you expect to find... In terms of curiosity, Gui Xuliu also found several fish fishing shops, but the shops are too bad, and they only fish in paper nets. broken.But the guests still came in an endless stream, and no one cared about these small details, because everyone was very happy.

Kagura was not afraid of some weird-looking monsters at all, instead, he dragged Seimei to the candy shop with great interest. Although Xiaobai said that he didn't like candy, he followed him there honestly; Zhentian seems to be very interested in all kinds of masks. He can't spread his wings when he hugs a mask of Inari God with white background and red stripes, while the vampire princess is lying on the counter intently watching a monster training nightingale Sing……

Gui Xuliu didn't bother them, and turned around to look for something of interest.She came to a fishing shop that seemed less crowded and not so popular. A dozen small red fish with umbrella-like tails were swimming happily in the water tank.

"Do you want to give it a try?"

Just as she was fascinated by watching these bulging little things stir up the sparkling water, a steady and serious male voice asked her this.Looking up, there is a man with a curly hair and a crown and a huge brush on his back standing behind the booth. His eyes are surrounded by a white cloth. Speaking of which, this look is somewhat similar to Gui Xuliu.

Gui Xuliu just stood in front of him and could feel the aura of a civil servant rushing towards him... Big brother, are you so serious?

Then, she heard a mature woman's voice coming from behind him, and at the same time, a hand with creamy skin was placed on his shoulder, and the owner of the hand turned from behind him, with a graceful figure and beautiful makeup, Except for the pair of sharp horns on her forehead that looked a little scary, the woman raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly, showing all sorts of amorous feelings.

"Judge, being so serious will scare away all the guests."

The man's face was immediately stained with anxiety, even if his face was incomplete, it could still be clearly seen, and his face turned crimson.

"I'm very sorry, Enma-sama!"

Gui Xuliu looked at a man and a woman in front of him in bewilderment, judge?Yan Mo?Isn't it true that she can meet big shots just by catching a fish?Does this indicate that she will be easily led by dogs in the future?

The woman laughed muffled, as if she felt that it was really interesting to have such a subordinate, "No, you don't have to apologize, this is just going out for fun, not official business, you can relax a bit."

"...But," the brilliance in Yan Mo's deep eyes flowed, and his erratic gaze suddenly wandered to Gui Xuliu's body as if it had frozen instantly. The woman was forced to stop breathing even under the heavy pressure, and the woman chuckled, "This little girl is very special."

Although it was only for a short moment, Gui Xuliu almost fell to her knees, she pursed her lips tightly and clenched her hands into fists.

It seems that not all the guests were scared away by the judge's seriousness, and Yan Mo actually had to bear a large part of the responsibility.However, Yan Mo obviously didn't know about this, instead he signaled the judge to hand Gui Xu a net bag, and said to Gui Xu with great interest: "Little girl, if you can use all the fish in this tank If this paper bag is brought up, I will give you a gift, how about it?"

Once this woman puts away her deep and heavy eyes, she still looks very attractive, although Gui Xuliu has already felt her loose character and obvious teasing taste.

Hearing this, the judge seemed to want to say something, but his body was pressed down by Yan Mo's hand on his shoulder when he moved slightly, his face turned red, and he could only silently hand Guixu a net bag as he said.

Gui Xuliu paused for a moment before taking the rough paper bag. Although Yan Mo had no malice, she was still not happy with the familiar feeling—no one was more sensitive than her about the feeling of being spied on.

The eye of Yan Mo is the real eye that can see through everything in the world... However, Gui Xuliu thought a little proudly, this time she won't be at a disadvantage this time, her eyes are still version 2.0 of God's Eye !

So she willfully poured the power of faith into the paper bag. This paper has a faint fragrance of camphor wood. It used to grow in the back mountain area outside Heianjing. After being cut down, it was peeled, sliced, ground, and pulped... Until it was folded into a bag and covered with paste by a pair of slender male hands, now, the power of faith will make it "believe" that it is an existence that defies water and fire.

Gui Xuliu scooped out a ladle of fish with a paper bag full of confidence, the second time, the third time... soon, she took out all the fish, and the fish tank was empty.She put the paper bag on the counter, raised her chin and looked at Yan Mo and Judge.

"All right."

The judge still didn't believe it, took the paper bag and read it twice, and said in his mouth: "Lord Yan Mo, this..."

Yan Mo laughed in a good mood, and said in a low voice, "Well... the power of light."

She cast an incomprehensible gaze at Gui Xuliu, raised her plain hand lightly, and pointed her slender fingers, a thin white light suddenly popped out. Gui Xuliu only felt a tingling pain in the earlobe of her left ear. She touched it with her hand and found there One more earring.Fortunately, there was no bleeding, but it was as if she was born there, otherwise her blood would definitely attract many monsters.

"what is this?"

Gui Xuliu frowned and asked.

Yan Moyu smiled vaguely: "It's just a mark, you will know it in the future."

Nima... It really is the old Zen master's speaking style, always leaving half of his words to pretend to be unfathomable.Gui Xuliu nodded to the two of them speechlessly and said goodbye, planning to change to another place for shopping, this store is too boring.

I hope she won't see these two again before she dies, Gui Xuliu thought sincerely.

Looking at her leaving back, the judge finally couldn't help but said anxiously: "Lord Yan Mo, how could you give such an important imprint of Hades to a human being! This is against the rules!"

Yan Mo carelessly brushed off a white mandala petal that fell on his shoulders from nowhere and fell on his shoulders for the judge. With beautiful eyes, he smiled slightly, "The rules are never static. This little girl has even The origins that my eyes can't see through... Heh, how can such an interesting power of light not be protected?"

……

The busiest center of the summer festival is the street leading to the entrance. Gui Xuliu stopped and stopped along the way, and inadvertently walked out of the brightly lit and bustling area.The number of bright lanterns hanging every once in a while is gradually decreasing, the lights are warm and yellow and quiet at some point, and the sound of clogs knocking on the bluestone board is clear and transparent. When passing through the old alley, the moss on the shady side spreads the Ningyuan of the years poetry.

There are not many people strolling here, and most of them are in couples. Gui Xuliu deeply felt that she was a single dog and probably accidentally entered the couple dungeon by mistake. Facing the curious eyes cast on her from time to time, she I couldn't help showing an awkward yet polite smile, and had to walk cautiously to a place where there were fewer people.

I could vaguely hear the sound of running water, but it was slow and gentle, not like the gurgling of a brook.

Isn't this a mountain? Where did the river come from?

Guixu was puzzled, and involuntarily walked along an alley to the source of the sound of water.The bluestone pavement leads her around the houses that exude an ancient atmosphere, and at the end of the alley is the river reflecting the colorful stars.

The faint starlight is like spars scattered in the water, and the river water gently sifted through them, and the gentle and stretched whisper sounded like the sound of time.The Milky Way floats on the wide river, deep and gentle, flowing peacefully far away, leading to an unknown distance.From time to time, a faint river lantern floated by, drawing out circular arc-shaped ripples that spread out, breaking up a large mist-like nebula.

Behind is the dreamlike lights and singing, and in front of the eyes is the prosperous galaxy like an illusion.

Gui Xuliu didn't know whether to approach or retreat, no matter what, he was afraid of disturbing this quietly flowing river full of life.

Until she saw two river lanterns abandoned by the river, they were both broken at one corner, and they could no longer bear the weight of praying and sailed into the water.They were pitifully thrown on the ground, stained with dust, and had nowhere to go.She walked down a few stone steps, touched the two dilapidated river lanterns with both hands, and her hands shone with a golden light that was not inferior to the night sky and river water, covering and infiltrating them until they became neat and delicate again, without any injuries.

She half-kneeled on the wet bluestone floor tiles, clasped her hands together, her black hair slipped from her shoulders when she lowered her head slightly, and the brocade ribbon tied with her hair hung down softly. The eyes are removed, but the bright red lips and a small part of the fair neck are exposed in the bright brilliance, devout and chaste.

When Huang came to the river, what he saw was such a scene.

The river curtain meets the sky to reflect the emptiness of the universe, and the girl with a unique breath seems to be integrated with the faint galaxy, as beautiful as a painting.

Gui Xuliu finished his wish, picked up the river lantern and pushed it into the river, watching it slowly drift away, his heart was filled with soft emotions.She didn't look away until the river lamp was no longer visible, but unexpectedly, she turned her head and saw a person standing upright at the entrance of the alley with his hands behind his back, looking at this side——

Thin eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and sharp beauty, as if the eyebrows and eyes were drawn with the best paint, and the clearest moonlight covered the makeup, it clearly resembled a daughter's face, but it was born with a cold and arrogant hero, alienated and indifferent; The strict nobility around him and the dense ghostly aura are so contradictory and fit together, making him look charming and dangerous, repelling people thousands of miles away.

Dashuai Bieh...

Gui Xuliu stared at that person stupidly, her main concern was that this handsome man was actually taller than Mr. Qingming!

Wait, the handsome man looks better than he looks, go, go, come and provoke me!

She stood where she was, as quiet as a chicken.

Huang walked down the stone steps and came to the silent little girl, and then he heard the girl's tender and clear voice asking him:

"Do you want to release river lanterns too?"

He frowned slightly. This time he left Beijing to deal with official business. The newly appointed ghost king of the organization called Dajiangshan is too presumptuous, which has already caused strong dissatisfaction in the liaison, but the name Shuten-douji is indeed terrifying. , he was appointed to go to Dajiangshan to discuss peace talks with him, to advise all the ghosts in Dajiangshan to restrain themselves, and to observe the truth of how monsters and humans get along along the way.This behavior was carried out secretly. After the peace talks were successful, he was ready to turn back. It was just a coincidence that he passed the Summer Festival. He stayed in this country to visit an old friend.

"...No need," he hesitated for a moment, then refused aloud, "I have no hope."

Gui Xuliu waited for him with his neck up for a long time, only to feel that his neck was very tired, and besides, he was really taller than Mr. Qingming.

"Then you can also make a wish for your friend."

She looked at the river lantern sitting upright on the ground, and said in her heart, Brother Hedeng, I can only help you so far.

"Making a wish on...a friend?"

The man's brows frowned even tighter, Gui Xuliu swallowed nervously, did he hit his pain point?This guy is not so handsome that he has no friends...

Unexpectedly, in the next second, he suddenly stretched his brows as if he had thought of something, and there was even a touch of softness on his cold face. This joyful, lingering, but slightly sad emotion appeared and disappeared. All in a split second.

"it is good."

He said so respectfully.

With a slight lift of his hand, the river lantern lightly fell into his palm. He stared at the river lantern for a moment, and then a gust of wind gently rolled up the river lantern, which was dyed with the temperature of his palm, and sent it into the river. The boat-like river lanterns sailed tremblingly into the distance.

At this moment, with a bang, a firework burst into the night sky and bloomed in the sky. This was just the beginning, and more fireworks exploded to compete with the starry night.

The firework display of the summer festival has begun.

Gui Xuliu quietly watched the fireworks of Shan Fanghua, and whispered his best wishes to this monster who met by chance:

"I hope that one day you will be able to watch fireworks like today with that friend."

After a long time, this monster with extraordinary temperament turned and left in the gradually weakening light of fireworks.

"thanks."

His voice faded with the wind that began to turn cold on the last day of late summer, as quietly as it had come.

Gui Xuliu stood alone for a while, took another deep look at this beautiful illusion, and trotted back the way he had come and gone.

She was not alone, so she couldn't make Qingming and the others wait too long.
