Be Your Demon [Comprehensive Manga]

Chapter 60 Mikawa's Past

When it comes to exorcising ghosts, it has always been said that to solve the bell, one must tie the bell.

But Cao Guang is currently in a coma, and it is not the best policy for Yan Xi to recklessly enter his dream.

The Shikoku Island where Kochi County is located is surrounded by the sea, and is not bordered by the other three islands of China. Therefore, it has had its own set of gods and ghosts for thousands of years.

Heaven, man, gods and ghosts each have their own ways.

According to legend, at midnight, there will be a ghost market in Kochi County. If you want to enter, you can trade according to your ability, and those who enter can get everything they want.

Once you enter the ghost market, you must stop fighting and do nothing. Humans, ghosts and ghosts must live in harmony and must not do anything. Once found, they will be expelled from the ghost market forever.

Yan Xi and Yu Chuan are newcomers, and they don't know many things about the ghost market, because before entering the ghost market this time, they brought the little deer boy out of Merlin.

The entrance of the ghost market is on an old banyan tree in the center of Kochi Prefecture. Every time of midnight, the gate of the city is opened wide to welcome people and ghosts coming and going.

-------

The desertedness of the ghost market was simply beyond Yan Xi's imagination.

She thought that this kind of mysterious market would definitely attract many ghosts to join in the fun. After all, you can buy everything you can’t buy outside, pills for life and death, and drink wine that can forget the past, and live forever. The secret technique of appearance, the exquisite heart that is hard to find...

She was really puzzled, so she asked the boy beside her, "Little Deer Man, why is this ghost market so deserted?"

With a candy stick in his mouth, he said in a vague voice: "Do you think this is a market on the street, you can come here if you want? If I didn't take you with me, you wouldn't even be able to find the entrance."

After speaking, he stuck out his tongue and made a face at her.

"Childish." Yan Xi didn't bother to talk to him, and walked into the street.

Cao Guang hadn't eaten or drank for four whole days. According to the capacity of a mortal body, if he couldn't wake up again, the Cao family might have to prepare for his death.

Therefore, finding out the cause of his coma as soon as possible is the real business.

This morning, when Yan Xi was wandering outside, he overheard the little demon in the tea shop whispering about the ghost market. He heard them say that there is a shop in the ghost market called Fu Sheng Ji, and there is a mirror in the shop to look into the past and know the past.After hearing this, she made up her mind and immediately decided to visit the ghost market at night.

Floating Life is located in the innermost part of the ghost city, and there are few people in front of the gate.

Yan Xi pushed the door open and entered, the bell hanging on the door frame rang with the wind, the crisp sound was especially abrupt in the quiet night.

The furnishing in the house looks a little crude, but the man in white clothes behind the table looks elegant and refined, quite a feeling that this is a humble room with only my virtue.

When the man turned around, Yan Xi saw that he was sitting in a wheelchair under him. The room was very warm, but he was still wearing a white fox fur coat, which was really weird.

"Brother Yu?" Bai Qingyue turned around and realized that the person who came here today turned out to be his old friend from many years ago, so he opened his mouth in surprise.

They have been separated for thousands of years and have never been in touch. It is simply fate to meet here now.

"Qingyue?" Yu Chuan didn't seem to expect that the boss of Floating Life would be his old acquaintance, he stepped forward two steps, and happily greeted: "I haven't seen you for a thousand years, how are you doing?"

Bai Qingyue looked at his legs, and smiled helplessly, "It's still the same," he met Yan Xi's scrutinizing eyes, and asked again, "Who is this?"

"Her name is Yan Xi, and she is an onmyoji."

Bai Qingyue's eyes flashed, but he nodded calmly at her on the bright side: "Miss Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Yan Xi clasped his fists and replied, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Boss Song."

His Story of a Floating Life has always been sparsely populated, and it must be something for them to come with their companions. The more Bai Qing thought about it, he asked, "I only care about greetings, and I haven't asked Brother Yu what you are doing in The Story of a Floating Life?"

"I came here this time to borrow your Floating Life Mirror. The young master of the Cao Mansion in Kochi County was haunted by a female ghost and is now unconscious. We want to see his past."

Bai Qingyue raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard the words. Based on his understanding of Yu Chuan, that arrogant guy would never be so idle as to care about the life and death of ordinary people.And the girl in front of her is an onmyoji, saving people's lives is her bounden duty. Thinking about it this way, it's obvious what the purpose of the Floating Mirror is.

He was thinking this way in his heart, but he didn't expose it on his lips, and replied straightforwardly: "Of course."

It will take some time for the opening of the Floating Mirror, and taking advantage of this time, the little deer man who has been silent all this time finally asked the question that has troubled him for a long time: "You say, if the female ghost in Cao's mansion really has something to do with Cao Guang, then is she How did you die?"

"She has such a big grievance, so she was killed by someone, and it is very likely that she was someone she trusted very much."

"I see," Xiaolunan clasped his palms together and guessed, "Cao Guang must have taken a fancy to her girl, but the girl would rather die than follow, so Cao Guang killed her in a fit of rage."

She sneered: "Let's not talk about how you came up with this ridiculous idea. According to your opinion, the female ghost is his sweetheart. He will kill someone because of this?"

The little deer man was stubborn, "That might be."

Yan Xi didn't bother to play tricks with him, so it happened that the Floating Life Mirror had been turned on at this time, so she stared at the mirror and began to see Cao Guang's past.

Cao Guang is the only seedling of the Cao family, who grew up held in the hands of everyone since childhood. At the age of 19, his father died of a serious illness, and he took over the Cao family. In this year, he met a girl.

That day he went to the temple to ask for a lottery. On the way down the mountain, he remembered the lottery that the abbot in the mountain had unwrapped for him, saying that his life would be doomed, but the nobleman had not yet appeared.

Cao Guang suddenly came back to his senses, bowed and bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

The girl he bumped into turned her head around, stared at him and asked, "Young Master looks absent-minded, could it be that he was abandoned by his fiancé?"

With a red face, he raised his voice and replied, "I like girls."

"Oh~ That's being abandoned by the fiancée."

Cao Guang blushed: "I don't have a fiancée either."

The appearance of this girl dispelled the haze accumulated in Cao Guang's heart like a gust of wind. Her appearance was like his name to Cao Guang, a ray of light.

But the good times didn't last long, the girl disappeared suddenly without leaving a word, Cao Guang sent people to look for it like crazy, but there was no news of it, since that day, his health was getting worse day by day, and later, he just fainted and kept going unconscious.

What Cao Guang couldn't see, Yan Xi could see.

The girl didn't go to the appointment that day because she was stopped by her brother on the way.

When her elder brother heard that she had gotten acquainted with Cao Guang, he implied that she was committed to Cao Guang, so that Cao Guang could marry her, and then he should cooperate with others to seize the Cao family property, but the little girl refused, and even quarreled with her brother about it. In a fight, her brother pushed her uncontrollably, but she slipped and fell straight into the river behind her.

The river was rushing, but there was no one in sight after a while.Her brother was so frightened that he didn't even seek help, and ran back to Cao's mansion as if nothing had happened.

That's right, that girl's elder brother is Cao Junsheng, the housekeeper of Cao's house.

At that time, she was floating in the river, her body swelled and rotted, and her usually beautiful and moving face was now extremely terrifying.Although she had died long ago, but because of her strong obsession with this world, her soul has been imprisoned on the bones and unable to reincarnate. Her unwillingness has attracted many ghosts with the same resentment, and finally turned into evil spirits. Ghost - bone girl.

After Yan Xi finished watching, she couldn't help shaking her head and let out a long sigh: "This girl is really pitiful."

The little deer man beside him was already so angry that he jumped up: "How can there be such a hateful person? That's his own sister, and he can do it! I want to kill him!"

Yan Xi knocked on his head and said, "Who are you trying to kill? Get one and let me see."

The little deer man pleaded for help from Yu Chuan with his mouth curled up, but seeing that he didn't pay any attention to him, he could only change his words: "I was wrong, he is so hateful... If I don't kill him, why do you hit me again?" .”

After speaking, he hung his head and walked outside.

Yu Chuan shook his head amusedly, Jian Jian said goodbye to Bai Qingyue and followed.

Yan Xi followed closely behind him, the Floating Mirror was still in her hand.Seeing that Yu Chuan was unprepared, she couldn't help secretly looking at him in the mirror, and she was spotted by him the next moment.

"Xixi, what are you doing secretly?"

Yan Xi suddenly recovered, and said with a guilty conscience: "No, it's nothing, let's go."

Now that he knew who the bone girl murderer was, Yan Xi didn't delay, and planned to expose Cao Junsheng's true colors when he returned.

Unexpectedly, when entering Cao's mansion, an accident happened.

She thought that the bone girl didn't stop her when she first entered Cao's mansion, which meant that she acquiesced in her entry.

Who would have thought that it was because the first time she went in was during the daytime, the sun was full, and it was the weakest time of the day for the ghost, and she couldn't stop it even if she wanted to.

But now, after they had been delayed in the ghost market for so long, it was already past midnight when they returned to the Cao Mansion, just in the early morning, before the sun rose, and this was the time when the bone girl's strength was strongest.

After she and Mi Chuan jumped off the courtyard wall, they fell into a trap.

The night was as black and thick as splashed ink, even the lanterns used to illuminate the Cao Mansion at night were extinguished, it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from nowhere, tactfully and resentfully, singing endlessly:

"There is Hu Suisui, who lives in Biqiliang. My heart is worried, and my son has no clothes.

There is a fox Suisui, in Biqili.The worry of the heart, the son has no belt.

There is Hu Suisui, beside Biqi.The heart is worried, and the son will not be convinced. "

Yan Xi frowned, and activated the "spiritual vision" technique to look around. In a side courtyard not far away, the black air was the heaviest, she turned her head and said: "Yu Chuan, to the northwest, follow me closely. "

Yu Chuan followed her step by step, seeming very obedient: "Okay."

The closer they got to the side courtyard, the more they could feel the resentment emanating from it.This resentment is so deep that it seems to be able to bite the soul and send people to hell forever.

It's not something that ordinary female ghosts can control.

"Onmyoji, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Just as Yan Xi and Yu Chuan stepped into the gate of the courtyard, the singing inside suddenly stopped.

The bone girl stood in the distance, her face looked a little hideous.

Yan Xi originally thought that he had to have a fight first before he could have a good conversation, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him had no intention of doing anything, so Yan Xi asked straight to the point: "Is Cao Guang's coma related to you?"

"Yes."

"You clearly know that your death is all because of Cao Junsheng, why do you want to do this to Cao Guang?"

The bone girl smiled wryly, her eyes full of soreness: "I'm protecting him."

"My brother has been poisoning Cao Guang's meals, and I can't remind him, so I have to do something wrong." She originally wanted to use Cao Guang's coma to attract the attention of the Cao family and seek a doctor for him, but her brother was in the middle. Always obstructing the diagnosis, just when she was helpless, the onmyoji came. "I know this is a dangerous move, but if I don't do it, Ah Guang won't even have a chance."

"I don't have much time. The evil ghost's resentment is too heavy, which is far beyond my ability to bear. In fact, I have already prepared for my soul to be scattered, but I really can't worry about Ah Guang, so I sneaked up on him while he was asleep. Altering his memory is the last thing I can do for him."

"...From then on, we really will never see each other again."

Yan Xi could feel that the bone girl's strength was weakening, and the brighter the sky, the weaker she was.

In an instant, the morning sun broke out from the east, and all things were born. The sun jumped down from the sky, passed the wall, crossed the branches, and shone on the bone girl.

She stretched out her hand to hold the sun, and sighed with satisfaction: "It's such a long-lost feeling."

In the next moment, her body was broken into tens of thousands of pieces, and her soul flew away.

Yan Xi froze in place, unable to recover for a long time

---------

Not long after the bone girl died, Cao Guang woke up.

Yan Xi couldn't bear the waste of all the painstaking efforts of the bone girl, and in the end she never told him the truth, she only said that the toxin was diagnosed in his body, and after finding out that it was the steward's poison, she sent him to the government.

Just like what the bone girl said, he completely forgot about the most important girl in his life, he forgot about his troubles, and also lost his happiness.

It was night, Yan Xi was sitting on the roof of Cao Mansion watching the stars.

When she was a child and had nothing to do in the underworld, she liked to hold a small boat and lie in the middle of the River of Forgetfulness to look at the stars.

She has been to the world, and also to the illusion.

No matter where it is, the stars seem to have no change, always shining, always shining.

"Tell me," Yan Xi turned his head and looked at the person lying next to him: "The life of a mortal is obviously only a few decades, why can they live so vigorously?"

Yu Chuan was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Because they are human beings who dare to love and hate. We have lived for too long, and we are getting more and more afraid. If life is so long, the pain will become longer. A mortal life is only a few days. Ten years, even the pain is just a blink of an eye, but we are different."

"Yu Chuan, do you have a past that is painful enough to remember day and night?" Yan Xi asked tentatively.Back then in Floating Life, she followed Yu Chuan and secretly saw Yu Chuan's past. Although there was only one scene, that one scene was enough to sadden him—he lay covered in blood among thousands of corpses, his eyes It was empty and empty, as if there was no hope of life anymore.

Although she accidentally saw it, she never dared to ask.

"Of course there is," he replied frankly, "I have lived for tens of thousands of years, how could I not have experienced painful things, the degree is just different."

In his tens of thousands of years of life, he has basically forgotten many painful things, and even the sad things have been forgotten after decades, hundreds or even thousands of years.

However, there is only one thing, even if it goes through tens of thousands of years, it is the painful past that he grits his teeth day and night and dare not forget.

Ten thousand years ago, he was a mortal, or a family of onmyojis who were incompatible with demons.

It's ironic, Yu Chuan never thought that he would later become a monster that he despises so much.

Back then, he was the most talented of the Onmyouji generation, but Mu Xiuyu Lin Feng would destroy him, he was so smart, he was so smart that he knew all the spells at once, and the cultivation of mana seemed to be assisted by a god, so smart that Make all onmyojis afraid.

Back then when Yamata no Orochi rebelled, the suppression of Yamata no Orochi needed the blood of the purest onmyoji, and he, who suffered all kinds of envy and hatred, became the best choice.

Yu Chuan worked for the Onmyoji all his life, but was sent to death by the Onmyoji in the end.

Every tendon and blood vessel in his body was slashed hundreds of times, and he was placed in the center of the blood formation without moving.

At that time, it was cold winter, the surroundings were bleak, heavy snow was blowing, the withered grass under him was lifeless, and the strong north wind blew past him. There were corpses all around him, there were monsters and people, and blood flowed under him in a river .

In just one day, all the justice and beliefs he insisted on collapsed, and he closed his eyes in despair, covering the last hope of life.

However, his life was not over, and when the blood was about to flow dry, a wounded white wolf happened to pass by him. His memory was transferred to White Wolf.

Later, he changed from a human to a demon, to the demon that he had driven to death before.

Yu Chuan is talented and intelligent. Even if he becomes a demon, he can learn many things without a teacher. Maybe the white wolf has fused his flesh and blood. After he became a demon, his demon power will be extremely powerful. However, just a few thousand years of cultivation have made him There is no rival among ghosts.

It's funny to say that this talent was the only thing that he can take comfort in looking back on.

He was disappointed with people, and even more disappointed with Onmyoji.

But they are unkind to themselves, but I can't bear to be unrighteous to them.He took demons under his wings, taught them rules and benevolence, and slowly taught them to be kind.

"In fact, sometimes I am not willing to repay evil with kindness. How can I repay virtue? But most of the time I feel that I have made the right choice. The onmyoji who killed me back then went through countless reincarnations. The onmyoji family declined and revived. The current four big families are no longer what they used to be, and I shouldn't blame them."

Yan Xi listened silently with his back to him, her eyes seemed to be out of her control, they were terribly sore, and her heart felt like thousands of fine needles had been pricked, and it was painful.

Her face was glowing under the moonlight, and there were still a few wet tears on her cheeks.
