"Master, where are we going?"

"Practice without purpose, just practice Buddhism."

Walking through the bamboo forest, the one-eyed little monk talked with Qing Fangzhu in this way.

The one-eyed little monk was originally just a little wooden fish demon wandering around with a stone statue on his back, but half a year ago he met Master Qingfang who explained Buddhism to others. Qingfangzhu's plan to travel with him was not until he was attacked by a monster and Qingfangzhu saved his life, so he came up with the idea of ​​traveling together.

Qingfangzhu prefers to practice alone rather than with a partner, but the one-eyed monk is far more persistent than he expected, and he always follows behind him. Every morning when he opens his eyes, the first thing he sees is the figure of the former. It was destined by the sky, and the fate was destined to be taken away by others. As time passed, he acquiesced in such behavior.

Master Qingfang chooses to subdue demons and subdue demons/stained robes in order to save sentient beings, while the one-eyed monk accompanied him to see the good and evil in the world. The two have gone through many hardships along the way, but luckily their hard work was not in vain. He has made a lot of achievements on the road of benefiting the world, and passing by here occasionally today is just to go to a place where there are many demons to prove the mind of Zen.

"Time flies, Tachibana," looking at the former disciple who was holding a child in front of him, Qing Fangzhu's brows showed some relief, "the child is already this big."

Kaguya: "..."

Tachibana: "...I think I need to explain something."

She met Aobozu in the spring nine years ago, and the surrounding environment was the same as now, a bamboo forest.Back then Tachibana was just an ignorant half-onmyoji, and he had just escaped from the path-cutter, squatted down in the corner of the bamboo forest and cried with his head in his arms. Unexpectedly, he was crying so hard that his shoulder was lightly patted one time.

'But someone bullied you? '

The monk who asked the question tried to be as gentle and polite as possible, but Li Xiaohua just looked up, and then buried her face in her knees, wiping her snot and tears everywhere.

The monk didn't urge him, but just waited quietly by the side, and waited until the other party was almost crying before asking: "Is it better?" '

"Well," Li Xiaohua wiped the fine drops of water hanging on her eyelashes with her sleeve, "I'm sorry, I made the master laugh..."

'Which family are you a child from? The poor monk will send you back. '

'I originally stayed at Uncle Chuishi's house in the village at the foot of the mountain. I just left today, and I don't have a specific destination yet. '

'Borrow? '

'I'm practicing. '

The monk quickly understood what she meant, paused, and said, "The poor monk will take you to the next village." '

'……it is good. '

During the short time together, Li Xiaohua learned that the monk's name was Qingfangzhu, and he was dressed in blue and white, like a green lotus blooming in the snow. She knew he was a monster, but she didn't expose him.Fortunately, Master Qingfang didn't reveal her identity as an onmyoji, and he only talked about scriptures and Taoism along the way, and briefly talked about Buddhism, just to protect her for a while.

Before leaving, Li Xiaohua asked: "Master, can you take me on a cloud tour?" '

Hearing this title, Master Qingfang was stunned subconsciously for a moment, and then said: "You and I have different paths to go. We met each other by fate, but we haven't arrived yet. Hope you cherish it." '

Li Xiaohua was obviously very reluctant, and after the words fell, she only grabbed the other party's monk robe and refused to let go. Seeing this, Qing Fangzhu sighed helplessly, and turned a maki painting scripture box from behind and handed it to Li Xiaohua, saying: 'Your heart is in the world, and you are destined to have no relationship with my Buddha, but Buddhism and Taoism have the same origin. This wooden slip can help you understand the way of being a human being and the method of overcoming rigidity with softness. '

'I understand,' Li Xiaohua took the scripture box, carefully touching the patterns on it, 'I will miss you, Master. '

'... There will be a period later. '

What I said at the time was that there will be a period of time later, it was just a polite farewell, but I didn't expect it to become a reality nine years later.

"Master, master," the one-eyed little monk's voice interrupted the recalled scene, "Is she an Onmyoji?"

Master Qingfang was silent: "Yes."

Onmyoji and monsters have always been natural enemies. Either the former will destroy the latter, or the latter will submit to the former. There is no third way to go.The one-eyed little monk is no longer the wooden fish who didn't understand anything many years ago. He naturally knows the power of it, so the look in his eyes when he looks at Tachibana has changed from curiosity to a little vigilance. He takes a step back with his right foot, obviously ready to escape or fight preparation.

Seeing this, Tachibana waved his hands again and again: "I just took my own shikigami out for a walk, and I didn't intend to fight with you. Besides, I'm still half of your senior sister, so how could I do anything to my classmates."

"Master, sister?"

The one-eyed little monk looked at Qingfangzhu in surprise, but Qingfangzhu's expression was still indifferent, as if he had already acquiesced.After a long time, the master asked, "Do you live in this village now?"

Tachibana switched the side of Kaguya Hime in his arms, and moved his aching arm along the way: "No, I'm the same as you, just passing by."

After such a move, Kaguya Ji, who was originally out of the situation, suddenly became clearer. She grabbed Tachibana's neck and reminded softly: "My lord, we still have tasks to complete..."

Everyone is waiting on the boat.

"Yes, yes, yes," Tachibana slapped his head suddenly, "I almost forgot!"

Master Qingfang: "What's the matter?"

"My mother asked me to go to the village to buy supplies, and I had to go back before dark, but I forgot about it when I met Master—I'm really sorry, I have to go first!"

"It doesn't matter," Qing Fangzhu's mood was as calm as before, without the slightest intention of caring, "You go now."

Lihua nodded, and immediately wanted to turn around and run out of the bamboo forest, but before she had time to take a step, she took a step forward and said: "Master, why don't you go with me to the treasure ship to rest for two days, I can just tell you Tell stories that have happened over the years."

As soon as the words came out, she was a little annoyed, Qing Fangzhu didn't have the habit of being a guest, not to mention that most of the people on board were sick, he would not only cause a lot of commotion after he went, but also might delay the original itinerary because of the treatment of the sick In this case, the original meaning of inviting him to rest would be lost, so Tachibana could only stand there in a daze, whether to leave or not, and the atmosphere gradually became a little awkward.

She seldom hides her true emotions when facing acquaintances. Master Qingfang has a lot of experience, and he can see that Tachibana's embarrassment is not difficult. It just so happens that he has no intention of going to be a guest, so he simply refused: "The poor monk still needs to stay in a hotel to investigate the surrounding demons I don’t want to bother you about your appearance.”

"That's it..." Li Hua moved his gaze aside, not daring to meet his gaze, "Then, after both of us are busy with our affairs, Master must definitely come to visit us."

"must."

Qing Fangzhu will not be perfunctory in the promise, so Tachibana was greatly relieved, she smiled, and then looked at the one-eyed little monk: "Remember to remind Master to come to me, little brother."

Hearing this, the one-eyed little monk's cheeks flushed a little, and then he ran behind Master Qingfang and stuck out his tongue, making a grimace, completely ignoring his senior sister.

Tachibana: "..."

The shattered sunlight and the burning clouds slowly overlap, and the twilight gradually deepens, soaking the seaside into a sad beauty, the streamer is scattered on the waves, and the transparent and clear blue has been replaced by another eye-catching color.

After carrying several large bags of rice salt and garlic sauce back to the treasure ship, Tachibana sat down to rest, drank the water that Kaguya Hime poured, and she couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you see Yasha?"

Kaguya Ji shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Even if he is not satisfied with the result of the lottery, according to Yasha's temperament, he will definitely come to help when he sees himself carrying such a heavy thing, but now let alone helping, Tachibana is not even in the visible range, and Tachibana can't help but feel confused Very.About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Huo Niao came over from the side, holding the freshly washed swaddle in his hand.

"Master Ishihara, why don't you rest in the cabin?"

Tachibana put the wooden cup on the tray and replied, "Wait a minute, by the way, did you see Yasha?"

"He has disappeared since noon today. I thought you would know his whereabouts, my lord."

"It's okay, you can go about your business, you won't get lost if you are such a big monster."

Having said that, there is still something to be worried about. Yasha's disappearance is undoubtedly a very insecure thing for Tachibana, which caused her to be listless throughout the night. Xinsi listened, Gu Huo Niao and Kaguya Hime saw it, but they couldn't do anything except look at each other.

Yasha's sudden departure meant that Katori Tsukisei went to buy the daily necessities of the second group. She carried three burlap bags and boarded the ship by herself, and also carried two baskets of wooden plates and spoons in her hand, with a grim expression on her face. It's like just after attending the criticism/fighting meeting.

"Ha, ask me? I still want to ask you guys, I can't stand a big live monster, but I'm exhausted," Katori Tsukisei took off all the heavy objects on his body and threw them to the side, followed by a plop Sit down, spread out the juniper fan and start to fan the wind, "Why, that bastard hasn't come back yet?"

Wa Zhongye made a silent gesture: "Stop talking, Hua Ji is in a bad mood."

Katori Tsukisei followed her gaze, and saw Tachibana squatting listlessly on the lower side, her brightly colored eyes were cast with a layer of dullness at some point, and she was as depressed as oranges that had been frosted. angry.

"What's going on?" The former frowned, "Didn't you be fine when you went out today?"

"Mr. Yasha is not here, she misses him."

As soon as Yasha's name came into her ears, Yuesheng became angry, not to mention that Tachibana was still in such a state of being overwhelmed by his disappearance for no reason, she gritted her teeth secretly, intending to go forward and read the basic rules of Onmyoji to Tachibana again, But at this moment, the hatch was suddenly kicked open.

"Yo, stupid woman," saw Yasha stepping on the door frame with one foot slanted, a seductive color flashed in his red-gold eyes, "let's go on a date."
