[Onmyoji] Set a small goal first

Chapter 5 Hanhe Jiangshi

It was still midsummer, and in front of the courtyard in the small southwestern courtyard, one person and one broom head put together, and even the broom god's expressionless face could make people feel dignified, as if they were doing something serious and prudent.

The little girl held a rotten and withered leaf in her fair and delicate hands. The soil sticking to the edge of the leaf gave off a rotten stench, and the dark brown sludge fell on the snow-white skin, as if gorgeous flowers bloomed on the bones of a dead person. The fresh flowers present a beauty with evil qualities and filth.

Gui Xuliu's right eye deeply reflected the appearance of a rotten piece, his brows were slightly frowned, and the bewitching blue light was so intense that it seemed to overflow his eye sockets.

"Shape" shows cause and effect. If there is a substantial line of sight that touches the leaves, a picture of a seed buried in the soil and then wrapped in the earth will appear in the mind. After rooting, germination, the first leaf grows until the branch The leaves are luxuriant, the first flower blooms until the branches are full, the power of nature glows with soft light, gestating the process of life from teething to strong, and from strong to weak.Its light spreads from a small seed to every flower and leaf of the tree, and the light of the leaves changes from strong to weak, and finally leaves the branches and falls to the ground.

The entire germination process of life may take three years, five years, or even longer, but in the eyes of Gui Xuliu, a thousand years is but a moment.Just like the vicissitudes and vicissitudes of the millennium in the human world, in the eyes of the gods, it is just a scene of clouds rolling and clouds rolling between eyes, just a gap of breathing ups and downs, completing the cycle of tens of thousands of lives, thinking of it gives birth to a feeling of desolation and coldness indifference.

Yes, the "truth" of rotten leaves lies in the circulation.The truth that every leaf that is going to die leaves the mother body is to return to nature, to dedicate the last strength to the earth, to the thousands of roots wrapped in the earth, and to the mother body that was separated for a short time but is about to return; The right eye of God knows the whole story of life, and Gui Xuliu can't help sighing for this natural warm love.

Plants and trees are ruthless, but the "reason" they offer is this strong, pure, and even self-willed desire to return. They conform to nature, eager to start another round of new life in another form.There, they will melt into the soil, their life force will be reclaimed, and they will become part of the tree again, maybe a leaf, maybe a flower, maybe a grain.

"So far, I have accepted your form, truth, and reason, and your wish will be fulfilled by me in another way."

Following the words spoken in a childish voice, Gui Xuliu's closed left eye suddenly opened.Compared with the vast and majestic momentum tearing apart the space in the dreamland, the golden light at this moment flows gently in the palm of the palm, and the leaves are like a reed boat floating leisurely in the still water of Taihu Lake, gently swaying with the occasional sparkling waves.

In this golden light, it evolved from black to yellow to green, and the incomplete and shrunken leaves and lines unfolded a comfortable and healthy arc. When it was green all over, even the contaminated mud leaked out A unique fresh aroma mixed with earth and grass leaves.It left Gui Xuliu's palm and floated towards the shaded tree until it disappeared among the luxuriant leaves and disappeared into one body.

Gui Xuliu stared at the tree in a daze for a while, until the Broom God beside her jumped three feet high and cheered and celebrated, then she came back to her senses.

"We succeeded?"

"Crack!"

The broom god expressed his affirmation personally, circling around in circles, almost bubbling with joy.

Gui Xuliu closed his left eye again and tied it with a silk cloth, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the direction of the leaf, it had grown back on the tree now.

"...Am I going to become a god?"

She muttered to herself, strangely, there were not many surprises in her heart, maybe it was because she was still in extreme ignorance... The seven years of being born in the Hanhejiang Mansion almost exhausted all her positive attitudes. How to use this kind of plot that obviously belongs to Goldfinger, she felt unbelievably, uh, uneasy?

That day, Gui Xuliu, who woke up after smashing the dreamland, found that only three quarters later, the small courtyard was still deserted, which shows that the timing of the person behind the dream was accurate.But just like that, she also avoided the possibility of being found abnormal.Except for the broom god expressing concern about her physical condition as usual, everything else was as usual.

Regarding what that person said, Gui Xuliu held a skeptical attitude, but it was like having an absolutely alluring bait in front of him. Even if he knew there might be a trap behind him, he still couldn't help but take the bait first. The bait was swallowed.After thinking about it, she still felt that improving her ability was the most important thing. In any place, strong power was an absolute pass. Even if the method used by the other party to inspire her eyes was not simple, it was enough for her to benefit from it.However, she did not develop in the direction of destruction according to what the other party said, but tried for a long time how to repair it; probably for her, the first thought of light was not purification, but healing.

Of course, she also considered some bad outcomes, for example, the worst case?

Amidst the chirping of cicadas, Gui Xu sat on the porch in front of the courtyard, looking up at the sky.

No, it can't be worse than it is now.

【Master, the dead air outside is getting worse...】

The Broom God leaned against her and whispered, seeming a little scared.

Gui Xuliu hummed, and suddenly asked: "Xu Shen, do you know Mrs. Dian?"

The Broom God shook his head blankly.

Gui Xu looked calm: "Then do you know that there are some monsters that need to eat the hearts and livers of virgins?"

The Broom God immediately nodded energetically, happy that it would come in handy.

【Yes Master!Many monsters eat hearts and livers, and the more noble or powerful people are, the better the nourishing effect of hearts and livers will be!Especially unmarried girls! 】

Gui Xuliu's quiet side face is like an untouched deep mountain autumn, and the ink-stained cloud temples and vermilion face are like a precious painting of ladies, still at the most beautiful and timeless moment.

"If that's the case, it can be explained..." She bent a shallow smile, but her eyes seemed to be filled with water and fire, which added a strange but breathtaking beauty to her face , "Broom God, if there is an evil spirit that wants to eat me, your master, what should I do?"

The broom god was almost three feet high, and the whole broom was shaking crazily as if he had Parkinson's disease, but this time it was not fear, but anger.At the same time, a series of unprecedented high-pitched grunts came out of his mouth.

[Who is who is that big villain who hit my master's idea!Master, you can rest assured that the broom god will protect you!At that time, the Broom God will hold back the villain and give the master a chance to escape!Master, don't turn around and run as fast as possible! 】

Gui Xuliu laughed dumbfounded, then sighed, the water and fire in her eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only a softness that she didn't know about.Holding the Broom God in her arms, she stroked the other's small head again and again, her eyes were far away, and she fell into an unknown distance.

"If there is such a day, I will leave my heart and liver to you. If you eat them, you will be able to change shape, right? Then, you will run far away. The world is so big, there must be a place for you."

At that time, there will be no hindrances in the mind, no hindrances, no fear, far away from upside-down dreams, and finally Nirvana.

There was helplessness and kindness in the immature voice. If one day she couldn't save herself, she also hoped to at least leave something for this weak, simple, but always kind little monster.But these words were still too ominous, the Broom God started to protest murmuringly, Gui Xuliu smiled and patiently listened to these complaints one by one, his eyes slowly drifted away, and finally fell on the northeast direction of Hanhejiang Mansion.

The entire mansion was shrouded in the pale golden light of the barrier, the black air was soaring outside the barrier, and the inside of the barrier was peaceful.Only the northeast corner is covered with a layer of faint shadows, which is vaguely connected with the dead air outside.In Gui Xuliu's eyes, Hanhejiang Mansion looked like this.

Everything has weaknesses, and barriers are no exception.There is a reason why the dead air outside is so strong and aimed at the Hanhejiang clan, and the thin blackness connected to the northeast seems to prove this point—the dead air probably came out of the Hanhejiang mansion.

The entire barrier is like a vacuum cleaner that works non-stop, constantly sucking out the dead air generated by the Hanhejiang Mansion. After the dead air is released, it is wrapped in a layer of pouch-like place, which cannot break the barrier and seep back to the Hanhejiang Mansion. There is no way to leave the barrier and seep into the outside world, so this barrier should be double-layered.

The northeast corner is likely to be the entrance of the "vacuum cleaner", and it is also the key that is most likely to destroy the barrier.

When are you going to check it out?Gui Xuliu lifted the broom god to a position where she was at eye level, and facing the other party's bewildered expression, she suddenly decided in a good mood... It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date, so what, just tonight?

……

On a moonless night, the stars are shining brightly.

During the daytime, the luxuriant vegetation in the South Court casts thick and mottled shadows in the night, and at this moment, when you look closely, you suddenly feel eerie.Yellow and white lanterns are scattered along the corridor along the only way through the South Court. At a glance, the lanterns one after another seem to be guiding lights leading to another world. I don’t know where the end will end.Deep in the silence lies a source of uneasiness.

The path in the garden silently welcomes passers-by, the cicadas sing silently, and the flowers and plants silently watch the children pass by, as if everything has animism. Then, every flower and every tree has become the mourning entrenched in Hanhejiang Mansion.Gui Xuliu's lips tightened a bit, and the blue flames in his right eye distorted the images of these vegetation, making people unbearable to look at them any longer.

In the view of the right eye, form and truth are all present, and only truth remains.The shape is the appearance of flowers and trees, the truth is the tyranny of death, and the reason is the weeping of the soul.Even plants without intelligence have emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. They have the power of nature, so they can feel the wraiths outside the barrier more sensitively than humans.

"Who! Huh? Why are there children here?"

Suddenly, a sudden and startled voice drew Gui Xuliu's attention back. She was a little careless, and she didn't notice such an obvious approach.

Yoshino was holding a lantern in his hand, and he was wearing a commoner jacket. It was his turn to watch the night today. Although he had no interest in this job, he would rather stay in the room and drink some wine with the other brothers. With a treacherous face that seemed to be planning bad ideas all the time, he had no choice but to put away all his reluctance and leave with a lantern.

This Hanhejiang mansion is like a cage, which little thief with no eyes would come here... Just as he was complaining, a small figure in the depths of the garden interrupted his complaint.

He just asked a word, and before he had time to be on guard, he watched the other party turn around helplessly.In just an instant, he fell into a vast sea of ​​light—this child has a golden left eye.

He seems to have seen that the faint galaxy in the gorgeous and deep night sky conveyed a call from ancient times to him, and the course of the stars has changed for hundreds of millions of years, leaving only a bright arc of light, which overlaps, moves away, and disappears... This is Gui Xu left another layer of power in his left eye, once a mortal looks at him, he will be lost in the universe of the galaxy.

In short, it is the power of light that can bewitch people's hearts. This is the light that God possesses and that makes people yearn for.

When Yoshino wakes up from a beautiful dream, he will only be puzzled that he will fall asleep in the wild, but he will not have any memories related to Gui Xuliu.

On the other side, Gui Xuliu slowly stood at the destination of the trip.

Her face is as deep as water, and the more specific functions of her eyes after being guided are not entirely pleasing.Concentrating on pouring power into her right eye, she can see the true nature of all things, their past and original wishes beyond spiritual wisdom.She calls it "One Leaf Knowing Autumn", but this ability can sometimes make this world seem like a living hell.The left eye is more complicated. She has a hunch that with her current ability, she has only developed about [-]% of her power, but it is only the two "healing" and "faith" that she used before her spiritual power was exhausted. Skills are enough for her to deal with all living beings and some weak monsters.This kind of cognition not only makes her uneasy, but also faintly excited, probably this is what is commonly known as perversion after being oppressed for too long...

Yes, for this reason, she dubiously named the ability of the left eye to confuse people's hearts as "faith", because the will conveyed by the light itself is the faith offered by the common people.I look at you through the stars, rivers and seas, and the favored mediocrity is lost in looking up at the light—this is a matter of course—gods never bother to confuse the mediocrity.

This pretense can be given full marks, but it still has to return to reality, Gui Xuliu is frowning at the moment looking at the house in front of him.

When I was studying with Gotsuji Shizuku, this seemingly omniscient public housewife inadvertently mentioned that the architecture of the nobles and even the imperial palace must follow the Yin-Yang Dao, and in the Yin-Yang Dao, the direction of the "Ghost Gate" is the northeast corner Gen position, this position is a symbol of unlucky things to avoid.The nobles will plant peach trees in the northeast corner of the mansion to eliminate the ghost gate. If it is the Kyoto Imperial Palace, there will also be a concave part in the corresponding position to seal the ghost gate.

At that time, Gui Xuliu didn't take it seriously, because according to Gotsuji Shizuku, the place where she lived was opposite to the northeast, which was called "Satokimon", but she didn't feel bad about it.But now it seems that this kind of statement is still credible. Instead of planting peach trees to ward off evil spirits, this northeast location has built a single-family house. The stone walls of the house are pale lime-gray. None of the climbing plants grew.

There was a very uncomfortable air about the house.

Just as Gui Xuliu took two steps forward, the door of the room opened a crack by itself, and then, the black air protruding from the inside was faintly visible, and a larger number could be vaguely seen crazily surging inside.She concentrated on trying to use Yiye Zhiqiu's skill to see what was going on with the black air. Before she knew it, the cicadas had stopped singing, and her forehead was slightly sweaty due to the heat, and the blue flames lit up little by little. , before it could reach its peak, the door slammed shut.

"what!?"

At the same time, Gui Xuliu's hands were entangled by the black air that came from behind and had been in ambush for an unknown amount of time, and he was pulled down to the ground with a swipe.She only had time to make a sound of shock, and her soul was pulled by a huge suction force and lost her five senses. The moment before her consciousness disappeared, the only thought in her mind was that it was a very wise decision not to bring the broom god.

The author has something to say:

I feel that the broom god is the hero, and the author is also confused about this kind of weird CP feeling. 00
