Be Your Demon [Comprehensive Manga]

Chapter 73: Xuanwu Barrier

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the wind in the south of the Yangtze River is biting, and the coolness reaches people's hearts.

Thin rain and snow pattered down from the sky, and pedestrians on the street rushed back home.Just when everyone was running in a hurry, there was a woman holding a red oil-paper umbrella and walking slowly in the crowd.

Going against the current, a cloud of mist and rain will be your life.

This is the most ordinary small town in the south of the Yangtze River. The traffic is familiar, and the townspeople are kind-hearted and hospitable.Therefore, Hongye quickly settled down here not long after she first arrived here.

When she returned to the small courtyard, she suddenly paused when she pushed the door open.

The latch has been moved.

Fear crept into her heart a little bit. Although the folk customs of Annan Town are simple, but after all, it is located in a traffic fortress, and there are many outsiders who come and go every month. Naturally, she should be more careful when living alone.

After all, she cherishes the life of someone who has died once.

Hong Ye took out a dagger from her pocket and hid it in her sleeve, closed the umbrella and lifted the latch, and walked slowly into the courtyard.

All the furnishings in the courtyard seemed to be the same as before. After she toured back and forth, the uneasiness in her heart gradually disappeared.

No one came in. As for the latch, it may have been touched by a child while playing.

It was almost dusk, she put away the paper umbrella and went to the stove, made two small dishes by hand, and served steamed buns for dinner.

In the past two months since she came to Annan Town, she has almost lived a day-to-day lifestyle.Get up, eat breakfast, do small labor during the day in exchange for daily pocket money, deliver the goods before evening and then make dinner, and the day is over.

Only occasionally I still think of the days in Xuan Qingshan, but every time I think of it, it feels like a lifetime has passed.

The only thing that puzzled her was that since she came to Annan Town, she had been dreaming almost every night. More or less, she felt very clear at the moment, but when she looked back, she couldn't remember anything.

I only vaguely remember that the sky is white and covered with ice and snow.

It was a scene she had never seen before.

When Hongye was in a trance, she suddenly heard two knocks from the door, followed by a familiar male voice: "Miss Hongye, I'm Liu Mo, are you asleep?"

Liu Mo is a private school teacher who lives near Hongye's home. He treats others generously and gently. He and his mother especially take care of Hongye, so Hongye is very grateful to them.

Hearing this voice, she wiped her hands and ran to open the door: "Mr. Liu, what's the matter?"

Liu Mo stroked his hair unnaturally, and offered the basket hanging on his arm: "My mother made some snacks and asked me to bring them over for you to taste. The snacks are not very sweet, I know you don't like them..." He The sound is getting smaller and smaller.

"what?"

"Oh, it's nothing, you can take it in, it's getting late, I'll go back first." After Liu Mo finished speaking, he handed her the basket and left.

Hongye didn't have time to say anything else when she saw him leaving in a hurry, so she raised her voice and shouted at his back: "Thank you, ma'am, for me."

Although Liu Mo didn't answer, she felt warmth gradually spread in her heart.She managed to break free from the despair of sincerity. She thought she would never meet any more sincerity in this world, until she met Liu Mo and Aunt Liu. Their kindness to her was the best comfort in her life up.

The night is as gentle as water, and the moon quietly climbs up the willow branches.

In the simple wooden hut, there is a bed on the side. The light beige bed curtain is half lifted, and a person can be vaguely seen sleeping under the quilt. The girl has a calm face and good features.

Jiu Tun hides in the dark, unable to see his facial features clearly.The candles in the house have been extinguished, and the only light source is the moon hanging outside the house.After confirming that Hongye was fast asleep, he slowly walked out from behind the screen.

Then he stood in front of the bed.

He just looked at her quietly like this. After a long time, his eyes suddenly flickered. Hongye, who had been sleeping peacefully, was no longer calm at this moment. There was a little bit of sweat on her forehead, and her brows were furrowed as if she had fallen into some kind of nightmare.

Seeing her like this, Jiu Tun felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help but stepped forward to carefully wipe off the sweat stains for her.

Feeling a strange atmosphere, Hongye suddenly woke up from her dream. She stumbled out of bed, lit a candle and looked around. The room was empty, only the sound of her beating heart.

It seemed that the strange breath just now was just her illusion.

--------

The cold winter is expected, and Yan Xi has been nestling in the house these few days because she thinks it is cold.

Now the three barriers have all been repaired, leaving only one Kyushu barrier with no clue.She has been running around in the yin and yang illusion for half a year, and now the task is about to be completed, and the big rock that has been pressing her is about to fall to the ground, and she feels very comfortable.

She was half leaning on the wooden chair looking at the topographic map of Kyushu, and she heard Yu Chuan's voice from a distance: "Xixi, quickly try the lotus seed red bean soup I made."

In the next moment, the bowl of soup landed firmly in front of her, covering the map of Kyushu impartially.

"...I don't want to drink it." Ever since she praised the delicious Tangdi flower cake made by Yu Chuan, he has changed his ways to make food for her every day, various snacks, tea, soup, every day. With heavy samples, Yan Xi was almost tired of drinking.

"No, you've been dizzy for the past few days, and you're not willing to ask you to practice in seclusion, so I can only supplement you with more food."

Yan Xi took a sip bitterly, as a perfunctory excuse, "You also know that now that the Xuanwu barrier has no clue, how can I retreat with peace of mind?"

Yu Chuan stepped forward and took her into his arms, stroked her hair and sighed helplessly: "I know that your heart is for the common people, but you also need to know that my heart is for you, so don't make me worry anymore, okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Yu Chuan hugged her even tighter: "As soon as this matter is over, we will get married. At that time, I will announce to the world that you are my wife."

"Okay." Yan Xi put his arms around him, buried the tip of his nose in the clothes on Yu Chuan's chest, and greedily breathed his breath.

"Master Mikawa—"

This peaceful scene was suddenly interrupted by a little demon rushing in from outside.

He knew very well that Master Yu Chuan loved Miss Yan Xi very much, and now that he hastily barged in and interrupted the two of them, Master Yu Chuan might tear his skin and sell him to the butcher at the foot of the mountain, but it was urgent and he had to report it.

"My lord, Kyushu suddenly fell into turmoil two days ago. Many evil monsters hiding in the dark gathered in Kyushu and ran amok. Many of our companions were captured by them."

Yan Xi keenly caught an unusual breath: "Wait a minute, what are you talking about?"

"Kyushu Island."

"Not good," she and Yu Chuan looked at each other, and what immediately came to her mind was the Xuanwu enchantment of Kyushu Island, "Sure enough, it is impossible for Yamata no Orochi to be silent at all, those evil monsters who are gathering in Kyushu now must not be able to escape with him Relationship." After she finished speaking, she began to pack her things: "We will divide into two groups, I will go to find the enchantment, and you will deal with those evil monsters."

As soon as Yu Chuan heard that she wanted to act on her own, she immediately refused: "No, you come with me."

Although he knew that he was worried about himself, but now it's not the time for ink stains, Yan Xi comforted him and said: "Be obedient, you have business to do, I will take good care of myself,"

"Xixi, I found out that there is an onmyoji who has been with Yamata no Orochi, but I have never been able to figure out the identity of this person. It can be seen that this person is not an ordinary person. I have never doubted your ability to deal with evil monsters, but the human heart is dangerous. Cunning beyond your imagination."

"What? Onmyoji and Yamata no Orochi?" Onmyoji takes the task of eliminating demons and subduing demons, so how could they collude with Yamata no Orochi?

"It's hard to explain this matter in a few words, but it does happen, so you must be extremely careful." Yu Chuan took out a flute from his arms and hung it on Yan Xi's belt: "This silver flute is not Leave the body, and use it to notify me if something happens."

Seeing his serious expression, Yan Xi knew that this matter was no small matter.She held the silver flute in her hand and nodded seriously.
