[Comprehensive Onmyoji] Combination of Flowers and Plants

In the morning of the next day, Sheng Yao was "forced" by his wife, and brought Huamanlou and Yingcao to the road, while Lu Xiaofeng was still asleep because of a hangover.

As soon as they came back, before entering the door, they heard someone shouting loudly: "Brother Sheng——"

Sheng Yao looked back, and saw a young man in his 20s running over with a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.Both of them have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and they look like brothers and sisters.

Sheng Yao was also very happy to see the two of them, and introduced them to Huamanlou and Yingcao with a smile: "These two are a pair of sons and daughters of the patriarch of the Yaoxiang clan, and their Han names are Yang Xu and Yang Yue."

Flowers are all over the building.Yuncheng is different from the Central Plains area. Apart from the Han people, there are many other ethnic groups here. These ethnic groups watch out for each other and help each other. On the contrary, the Han people feel a bit out of place here.It can be seen from this that it was not easy for Tianshengmen to establish a sect here.

Yang Xu and Yang Yue had already run to the front.Yang Xu was wearing Yaoxiang costumes, with a bone flute pinned to his waist.Yang Yue was wearing a goose-yellow Han dress and a small green bag slung across her shoulders. She could speak the Han language well, so she looked no different from a Han.

Sheng Yao looked him up and down, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few months, Ah Yue has grown taller again, why did you go down the mountain together this time?"

Yang Xu said with a smile: "I heard that you got married before, but I didn't come to celebrate you because it was the hunting season. The hunting season ended yesterday, and Dad asked me to come down to congratulate you." A wooden box, said with a smile: "This is a congratulatory gift from Dad."

Sheng Yao knew that their family had a bold personality, so he took the box and opened it face-to-face - inside was a finger-thick ginseng with distinct whiskers and tails, which was as big as two palms when spread out.Sheng Yao was surprised and said, "Isn't this ginseng a hundred years old?"

Yang Xu smiled proudly: "Well, I found it on the mountain during the hunting season two days ago. Father showed it to the priest, who said that this ginseng is at least 150 years old."

Sheng Yao said with a smile: "Thank you patriarch for your kindness, then I will not be polite."

Yang Xu showed the back of his head, looking very honest and straightforward.

Yang Yue, however, looked eccentric. Seeing Yingcao tugging on Huamanlou's sleeve without hesitation, she winked at her teasingly.

However, Yingcao didn't notice this, she just focused on observing the bodies of the two of them now.

Both of these people have a red aura, which is very subtle, but it contains a huge vitality.This vitality has become so strong that it is a bit fierce.From Yingcao's point of view, with the maintenance of this vitality, these two people can at least live to be a hundred years old, which is exactly the opposite of Sheng Yao's.

The little girl couldn't help hugging Hua Manlou's arm tightly with some doubts.

Since the brothers and sisters of the Yang family came to give gifts, it is naturally impossible for them to leave after giving the gifts.After Sheng Yao brought back the two brothers and sisters, Yang Yue fell in love with Chang Qiuci at first sight, and Chang Qiuci also liked this younger sister very much, so she kept her and stayed there.

Early the next morning, everyone was awakened by the sound of a flute.

Yingcao stretched, jumped out of bed to look for Huamanlou.When passing by the garden, I saw a light yellow figure standing in the gazebo playing a bone flute.

After Yang Yue saw her, she raised her flute and showed a big smile, "Good morning!"

Yingcao frowned, imitating her and said, "Good morning."

Human beings are really strange, they can show such obvious smiles even though they are not very happy.

After breakfast, when they passed by the gazebo again, they found that Lu Xiaofeng was already familiar with Yang Xu, and he was talking nonsense with him.

Huamanlou shook his head, and took Yingcao out to buy brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.

According to Chang Qiuci's recommendation, when the two found a place, they found that the line was already very long, and the end of the line could hardly be seen from the beginning.

Hua Manlou felt sorry for the little girl, so she asked her to wait and went to line up by herself.

Yingcao found a water tank turned upside down on the side of the road, sat on it and waited.The water tank happened to be in a small alley, and the sun was blocked by the wall, so it didn't get much sun.

After a while, an old woman who scavenged came in.She was very bent, with a black snakeskin bag on her back and a wooden stick in one hand.From time to time, she fiddled with the garbage dumps by the roadside, and occasionally knelt down to pick up something and put it into a snakeskin bag.

She looked no different from ordinary scavengers, but Yingcao stared at her intently.

After a while, several children ran out of the house laughing and laughing, and when they saw the old woman, they picked up a stone and threw it over.The old woman was hit on the forehead before she had time to react, a trace of blood flowed out from the wound, and then flowed into the wrinkle full of mud.

The children made faces at her and laughed and said, "Gu Po! Gu Po! Go to hell, Gu Po!"

A nearby family seemed to hear the sound, a middle-aged woman opened the door, saw the old woman with disgust on her face, and threw the basin in her hand out.The old woman couldn't dodge in time, and was half of her body wet.

The children ran away, the residents closed their doors again, and the alley became quiet again.The old woman was still hunched over, calmly turning over the trash, as if the humiliation and injury just now had never happened.

She walked farther and farther, but Yingcao involuntarily followed her.

In the end, he returned home with the old lady who picked up waste.

It is said to be a home, but it is just a shack piled up with branches and dead leaves. It does not shelter from wind or rain, and it is only slightly padded with dead grass and rags in the ground.

The old lady didn't seem to care if there was anyone following behind her. She put down the snakeskin bag on her back, took out a few palm-sized rags from it, and carefully smoothed them out and spread them in the shack.Then he took out a small piece of mud-stained cornbread and put it aside, then turned around and looked at Yingcao.

Her eyes were cloudy and calm, without luster, like clay sculptures.

Yingcao thought for a while, walked up to her, took out a few copper coins from her pocket and handed them to her, "Do you need this?"

The wrinkles at the corners of the old woman's mouth moved, as if showing a smile, she stretched out her black hand, picked up a few copper plates from Yingcao Su's white and soft palm, and said, "You are looking for me, what can I do?"

Her voice was old and hoarse, but it carried a peaceful gentleness.

Yingcao nodded, sat down cross-legged, and asked, "Can the things in your body keep you alive?"

The old woman asked calmly, "Why, do you want to live forever?"

Yingcao honestly shook her head, "There is a person, I want him to live forever."

The old woman smiled, she stretched out her hand, and then picked up the skin on her hand... This skin bag is really too old, the skin has completely lost its elasticity, and it can't even be retracted after being pulled out. undisturbed.

"Immortality does not mean immortality. Human life and death are deterministic. It is not a good thing to linger in this world." She looked at Yingcao tenderly, "Is the person you mentioned willing to live such a life?" ?”

"What about you? Why are you willing to live such a life?" Yingcao said bluntly, "Your life is not good either."

The old lady didn't think it was a problem, she sighed, looked at the distant sky and said: "I still have a wish that has not been fulfilled..."

Yingcao felt that this human being was very strange. Her life might not be as long as her own, but she seemed to have experienced more than herself... She didn't know how to communicate anymore, so she just hesitated and asked: "The things in your body, Can you show me?"

The old woman looked at her for a long time, and said to herself: "Maybe it's God's will..." She turned around and took out a small black box from a pile of dead leaves. The box was only half the size of a palm, and it was not locked. "I'll give this to you. The answer you want may be in it."

Yingcao took the box and opened it, and inside was the corpse of a bug.

It is said to be a corpse, but it is not disgusting at all. This bug is only the size of a soybean, and its whole body is golden in color. It is placed in this jet-black box like a gold ornament.

"This is the rejuvenation Gu, it will live when it encounters blood." The old but gentle voice said: "This is the last one in the world... Let it save people, it's better than rotting here with me... gone."

When Yingcao went back, she saw Huamanlou waiting for her.Hearing her return, Hua Manlou didn't ask anything, just smiled gently and said, "Go back."

Yingcao nodded in a daze, and instinctively stretched out her hand to grab Huamanlou's sleeve, but thought in her heart: If it was Huamanlou, would she be willing to live forever but grow old?

Hua Manlou could feel the little girl's absent-mindedness, but he didn't know what happened, so he could only worry silently in his heart.

Until noon, Yingcao ran into his room and asked, "Qi Tong, do you know what a Gu Po is?"

"Gu woman?" Hua Manlou was taken aback, "I heard that she is a woman who is good at Gu skills in some ethnic groups, did you meet something this morning?"

Yingcao nodded, and told what happened in the morning one by one, but for some reason kept the rejuvenation Gu behind the scenes.

"There is a golden breath in that human body, which is slowly nourishing her body, but the speed is too slow, slower than her aging speed, but her life is still much longer than other humans. You say, she What is your wish? Why does she know how to do Gu?"

After listening quietly, Hua Manlou said, "I don't know about that, but if you know Gu skills, you probably belong to those tribes that are good at Gu skills. Why do you live alone outside?"

"You can ask Brother Sheng about this." Lu Xiaofeng walked in from the outside, and raised his voice: "Although Brother Sheng is from the Han nationality, the Sheng family has been in Yuncheng for generations. He may know a thing or two about these things." He turned his head and asked Ying Ying Grass, "The black aura in brother Sheng's body you mentioned earlier, could it be Gu?"

"I don't know." Yingcao still shook her head, "I've never seen Gu inside a human body."

Lu Xiaofeng took the two of them to find Sheng Yao, after listening to Lu Xiaofeng's description, Sheng Yao gradually frowned.

"If you live alone and are rejected by everyone, you should be from the Wali tribe."

"Huh?" Lu Xiaofeng was puzzled, "I have also met many tribes in Yuncheng in the past few days, but I have never heard the name of this Wali tribe."

Sheng Yao sighed, "Because the Wali tribe has been wiped out." He sighed, "My Sheng family wiped out the tribe."
