[Comprehensive] Onmyoji raised by Cuckoo bird

Shi Yu carried the package on his back, followed by his three shikigami, and watched his teacher go away in an obscurity car.

She thinks that the situation is indeed very critical, maybe even Ma Cang Ye Wang is not sure to protect her in such a situation, otherwise, with his character, he will definitely not refuse her request to follow.

When Oborosha's figure completely disappeared into the sky, Shigure turned his head and said to his shikigami: "We are about to start our journey."

"Ow~"

"Yes!"

"Hmm~"

After getting a full of personality response, she looked up at the direction of the sun and the shadow of the tree, and after a little recognition of the direction, she walked towards the chosen path.

According to Ye Wang, the temple where they stayed was not far from her destination [Karasuma Village]. Even if it was predicted by walking speed, if they set off at noon, they could arrive before sunset.

There were no accidents or attacks along the way, which probably has something to do with the evil spirit that Qing Xingdeng inadvertently emitted.This banshee, who has been trapped in the gap between the human world and the underworld for most of her life, is now in a time when she is curious about the outside world.She was sitting on the long handle of the lantern, swinging the weapon under the seat, her legs covered by the dark blue kimono were freely swinging back and forth in the air, that leisurely look made Shigure who was working hard on the road with both feet Occasionally, I will be a little uncomfortable.

"Master Shigure, do you need to rest for a while?" Her footsteps stopped for a moment, and the white wolf who followed immediately noticed it, and she asked worriedly.

"Thank you, White Wolf, but there's no need." Shi Yu smiled at her, looked up at the sky again, and said, "We should be there soon, right?"

The sky had already turned yellow, and she followed the mountain path that someone had walked all the way, and she was always paying attention to the movement of the shadow, so she should not go wrong.

"Hey, my master. Aren't you tired from walking like this?" Qing Xingdeng floated in front of her, lowered his height a little, moved his body to one side, and winked at her charmingly, "Come and sit with me ? Very comfortable~”

"No need." Shi Yu twitched the corners of his mouth and shook his head.She suddenly recalled the silly self who tried to sit on a broom when a certain magic school story was on the air in her previous life... that feeling is really hard to describe.

"Hey~ Really." Qing Xingdeng pursed his mouth unhappily, and when he was about to say something, he was suddenly interrupted by a burst of excitement.

"The Lantern Ghost is back." Shi Yu looked at the sky, and saw a smear of orange moving quickly, and soon landed in front of her.

With a fiery red body, orange flames, and soybean-like eyes, it was the lantern ghost that Shi Yu had sent out to explore the sky.It danced and twirled in front of Shi Yu's eyes excitedly, barking non-stop.

"Have you found a village with people? How far is it from here?" Shi Yu used the contract connection to figure out its meaning intermittently, and then asked.

"Ow!"

"Are you there just through this forest?" Shi Yu's eyes lit up, and then he patted its head in praise, "Well done, Lantern Ghost! It's going to be hard work for you to lead the way, White Wolf and Qing Xingdeng, let's speed up!"

Passing through the forest, a simple village built on a slope appeared in front of Shi Yu.It is said that it is a village, but it is actually just some scattered wooden houses that are relatively gathered together, forming a circle around a slightly larger wooden house in the center.

After a boring and hard journey all afternoon, Shigure finally found her goal. Shigure felt a shock. She straightened her clothes, looked back at the shikigami who were not human, hesitated, and said: "All of you are temporarily invisible, otherwise you may scare the villagers. Of course, when there is danger, you can appear on your own."

After dealing with these, Shi Yu found out the mission scroll sent by Yin Yang Liao from the package, put it in his cuff, and walked towards the entrance of the village.

There was no one guarding the entrance, so Shi Yu walked in directly.On both sides of the road from here to the real houses are fields, growing crops of various heights and varieties.Because the sun was about to set, there were no people working in the fields.

When Shi Yu passed by here, he looked at it carefully, because it was clearly recorded on the mission scroll that the reason why this small village with the words "Karasuma Village" written at the entrance of the village went to Yinyang Liao in Heianjing for help was because there were "monsters" in the fields. 'Make chaos.

"Ah! You are?!" Just as she stopped to take a closer look at a somewhat messy field, a villager spotted her.

When Shi Yu heard the sound and looked around, he saw a tall man holding a hoe staring at her blankly.Seeing her looking over, he dropped the hoe in his hand in fright, turned around and ran towards the house behind him, shouting, "Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law! There is a woman coming!!!"

"..." Shi Yu's face suddenly became black.What's going on with the panic like facing some kind of scourge!Does she look that scary?

Soon, following the man's roar, many people in the village gathered curiously.The strange thing is that there are not many men here, most of them are women and children.

"Look! That girl is dressed so strangely!"

"Really? I think it looks good!"

"I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

"What is she doing here?"

Shi Yu couldn't stand the eyes of them looking at some rare species, frowning and just about to speak, the next moment, the white wolf had already shown his body and blocked her.

"Irreverent! Everyone take a step back!" The white wolf raised the heavy dark red bow threateningly.

"Wow! A monster!!!" A group of people scattered like birds and beasts, and ran away all at once.But not long after, many people secretly looked at them from behind all kinds of cover, their appearance was indescribably funny.

Shi Yu was a little dumbfounded, what happened to this village?The character of the villagers is too out of character, right?This was a bit different from the village in Shi Yu's impression.

Most of the common people in this era are very miserable, even the most basic survival is very difficult.This was her basic understanding of the world when she was just born.Because she was abandoned by a poor couple who were about to die.

But the people in the village in front of her are completely different from what she remembered. Although they look very dilapidated from the outside, most of the villagers in front of them are well-dressed and have very rosy complexions. Their expressions are full of freshness , which made her feel curious.

"Ah, is this Lord Onmyoji?" At this moment, a soft and old voice sounded.

As soon as Shi Yu looked up, he saw an old woman walking towards her slowly with a cane.The tall man who first spotted Shigure was by her side.

"Yes. Are you the person in charge here?" Shi Yu waited for her to come closer, then took out the scroll issued by Yinyang Liao from her sleeve, and handed it to the old man, "I have received the task of eliminating demons from your Karasuma Village. .But before you get rid of the youkai, please explain to me in detail."

"It really is. Great, we've been waiting for a long time, and now you're finally here." The old woman took the scroll with a smile, and Shigure noticed that her hands were trembling, "It's been hard work coming here from Heianjing. If you don't mind, why don't you go to my room to rest first?"

Naturally, Shigure would not object, she gestured to the white wolf, and the shikigami silently dissipated into the air again.

As she left, Shi Yu seemed to hear many voices of relief.

The old woman stopped shaking her hands, and while leading the way, she smiled and said to Shi Yu: "I'm really sorry. These children in the village have never gone out. Please forgive some behaviors. They have no malicious intentions. "

Shi Yu nodded silently.

The old woman's house is the center and the largest house in the village.There were many white talisman papers hanging from the eaves. Shigure stopped to look at the contents of the talisman papers with some concern, and found that they were commonly used prayer words in some shrines.

The doubts in my heart were answered the moment I stepped into the gate.

Shi Yu was a little surprised to find that the old man actually placed a shrine in the center of the hall of his home.

The door of the wooden shrine that looked like a miniature house was closed, and some grains were placed on the table in front of it.

"Hehe, this is the land god enshrined in our Karasuma Village, Lord Gu Ji."

Seeing her surprised expression, the old man seemed extremely proud, and the vertical and horizontal wrinkles on his face stretched out: "Master Gu Ji is a very effective god, she is kind and tolerant, and it is because of her blessing that our Karasuma village can Harvest every year."

Her words made Shi Yu a little surprised, no wonder the people in this village are healthy and energetic, it turns out that they are blessed by the God of the Land.In the case of sufficient food, it is natural to maintain a better mental outlook.

"Since there are gods protecting them, how can there be monsters making trouble?" Shi Yu couldn't help asking.

"This..." The old woman was at a loss for words and said hesitantly, "Maybe Master Gu Ji is too kind and doesn't want to kill."

Shi Yu didn't comment on her words, but said: "Perhaps, it is our onmyoji's duty to eliminate monsters, so please explain to me what happened."

"Yes." The old woman hurriedly invited her into the inner room. At the last moment of leaving, Shigure caught sight of something moving at the shrine from the corner of her eye. She instinctively turned her head to look, and was immediately startled.

I saw an extremely miniature girl sitting on the wooden table in front of the shrine at some point, about the size of Shigure's palm, with a hair knot made of wheat ears on her head, her eyes and hair were clear golden , she was holding a wagashi and nibbling at this time, her movements were very gentle.

"...Master Onmyoji, what's the matter?" Seeing her figure standing still, the old woman couldn't help asking with some doubts.

Hearing her voice, the little man raised his head in shock, facing Shigure's eyes, and froze immediately.

"...No, it's nothing." Shi Yu retracted his gaze, and said to the old man as if nothing had happened, and at the same time continued to walk.

She almost guessed who the little girl was, but... I have to say, she was unexpectedly small.It looks very weak, no wonder it can't get rid of monsters.

The old man invited her to sit down in the inner room, and hurriedly prepared tea and pastries for her.After everything was done, she sat upright and began to describe the troubles of their village: "From last month, the crops in our field are about to mature, but every morning when I wake up, I always see that the crops in a large field are messed up. !... We found strange footprints on the edge of the field, which looked like animals, so we prepared some traps and traps. A few days after that, someone caught a strange animal in the field, It was caught in a bear trap. But just as the man was about to kill it, it suddenly burst into flames from its mouth!!"

The old man's expression suddenly became terrified, and she said: "The fire can't be extinguished no matter what, and it has burned a large field. Those are not ordinary animals, but monsters!"

Shi Yu listened quietly, and suddenly saw a ray of light flying in from outside the door, and slowly landed on the table where they were talking.After the light dissipated, a small figure was revealed, which was the little girl from before.

She sat on the table and raised her small head to look at Shi Yu. After a while, she suddenly flew in front of her and shook her little hand, as if to test whether Shi Yu could see her.
