[Onmyoji] There are fox sui sui

Four years have passed since the bull ghost attack.

I don't know what kind of panacea the big tengus found. Although it is very bitter, it works quickly, and even the fatal wounds heal quickly. Now, four years later, even the faint scars are gone. Doesn't appear to have any scars.

Aside from dreaming about the ugly face of the bull ghost for a while at the beginning, the attack hardly left any sequelae.

If there is any difference, it is probably that the big tengu has become more silent.

Occasionally, Ah Xun found that Daitengu would look at her wondering what he was thinking, but because Daitengu was originally a taciturn character, Ah Xun didn't think much about it.

Maybe it was an illusion.

"Huh?! Coming-of-age ceremony?"

Ah Xie looked at the calm big tengu, and couldn't believe what he just heard.

Facing Ah Xuan's surprise, Datengu took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner, and then nodded slightly, confirming that what he just said was true.

"For youkai, 13 years old is already an adult." Daitengu explained the reason indifferently.

……13 years old?

Should it be said that it is a demon clan?At the age when human beings are still in junior high school, monsters have grown up, and it's time to start their own family.

And judging by the age of Yaozu, becoming an adult at the age of 13 is equivalent to running after learning to walk.

Ah Xuan digested the sudden news for a while, and silently commented: "It sounds like a very important day."

"Indeed." Big Tengu agreed, "So tomorrow I will invite some relatives and friends to witness together."

Invite relatives and friends?

Ah Xie thought about the social circle that she and Ootengu had in the same line, and then found out embarrassingly that few people seemed to meet the standard.

But since you want to invite people, that is to say...

"That is to say, is there a banquet?"

Facing Ah Chen's expectant eyes, Otengu nodded helplessly: "That's what it means, I've already sent out the invitation, let's get ready."

Although it was said that Ah Xun was to make the preparations, in fact, everything from the arrangements for the banquet in the courtyard to the clothes that Ah Xun needed to wear tomorrow, the big tengu had already made arrangements for everything.What she said just now was just to inform Ah Xuan in advance, and what Ah Xuan had to do was to look forward to tomorrow's arrival.

Seeing the back of Ah Chen leaving happily, Daitengu laughed for no reason.

That child is almost an adult.

Unexpectedly, time flies so fast, it seems like it was just yesterday that a little dumpling was hugged in my arms, but now, she has grown into a graceful and graceful young girl.

Tomorrow is a very important day.

The sound of the wings of the cursed bird flying into the house from the window pulled Ootengu back from his thoughts.

Datengu raised his hand lightly, and the black curse bird stopped in his palm. The body of the curse bird gradually disintegrated, turned into strings, reassembled into a letter and fluttered down.

The big tengu opened the letter, and after seeing the contents clearly, the words in the letter disintegrated like the curse bird, turned into silk threads, and disappeared.

What appeared in front of the big tengu was only a blank sheet of paper.

This is a very simple trick, as long as it is written in enchanted ink, no one can see the contents of the letter except the designated addressee and sender.And the letter will turn into a curse bird, quickly reach the receiver's hand, and disappear completely after reading it once.

After reading the letter, the smile on Daitengu's mouth had disappeared, and his expression was calm, making it impossible to see the content of the letter from his reaction.

Daitengu took out a black inkstone with no pattern from the small black sandalwood cabinet, and an ink ingot exuding a faint fragrance, with silver light flickering faintly when the light changes.The big tengu dripped water into the inkstone surface, put the ink ingot, pressed heavily and lightly rotated, as the big tengu rubbed the ink, the fragrance of the ink gradually bloomed, and for a while, the room was filled with the fragrance of ink.

After the ink was finished, he took out another wolf brush and a new piece of paper, spread the paper out, and dipped the tip of the pen in ink.

Just as he was about to write, a drop of ink fell from the tip of the pen and landed on the pure white rice paper, leaving a little ink mark that spread rapidly.

Ootengu looked at his hand a little bit, the hand that was holding the pen trembled slightly, revealing that the master's mood was not as calm as he appeared.

The azure blue pupils reflected jet-black dots, and the depths of the pupils also seemed to be colored extremely darkly.

Why still hesitate?Isn't it already decided?

This is the last letter, isn't it?

Just write it and send it off.Such a simple action has already been done countless times, and there will be mistakes for no reason.

The big tengu stared at the ink stain on the paper for a long time without blinking.

It wasn't until the night devoured the last ray of light, and the unlit room fell into darkness, that the person sitting in the room finally moved. He lit the candle on the candlestick, and a ray of light illuminated the quiet room again.

When the candlelight was lit, Ootengu's expression was not the same as before, it was still calm and composed.

He removed the soiled paper, took a new piece of paper, and unfolded it.

Fu picked up the pen, dipped it in some ink, and smoothly wrote down what he had thought about a long time ago.This time, his hand was very steady, very steady.

After the letter paper was folded, it turned into a curse bird, flapping its wings, and flew into the night, and soon there was no shadow in sight.

The curse bird has left, but the people in the quiet room are still motionless, like a quiet stone sculpture.

The light smoke from the Boshan furnace curls up, mixed with the fragrance of ink, which makes people relax.The candles in the candlesticks were burning quietly, and the candle tears flowed down with the burning of the flame. The candle wick gradually became shorter with the passage of time, until the candle burned out, the sparks fell into the wet candle tears, and the house returned to darkness.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning pierced the darkness and jumped lightly on the white shirts of the people in the house.

Perhaps feeling the warmth brought by the sun, the person who hadn't moved in the room for a long time squinted his eyes, as if he felt the flow of time at this moment.

The birds outside the window had already started chirping, and the big tengu was stunned for a while before getting up and changing into a white shirt of a similar style.

Today's protagonist is not him, there is no need to dress too special, as usual.

Because of living with the big tengu for a long time, Ah Xie also developed a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.Shortly after Otengu changed his clothes, Ah Xie woke up naturally.

Just waking up from a sound sleep, Ah Chen felt that her mind was still a little unclear. It was not until she caught a glimpse of the new kimono on the hanger in the room that she vaguely remembered what to do today.

After lying in bed for a while symbolically, Ah Xuan got up and walked to the hanger to look at the new kimono when her mind was fully awake.

I have to say that Ootengu has a good eye, with light yellow background, dark and light purple gradients on the sleeves and hem, and flowing clouds and wreaths embroidered on the clothes.

The whole kimono is fresh and elegant, without losing a trace of magnificence. It's a bit wasteful for me to wear such a beautiful dress for a little girl who hasn't fully developed yet.

Ah Xuan cupped her sleeves, buried her face in the soft and comfortable fabric, and a faint scent of sandalwood lingered in her nose.

For some reason, Otengu prefers sandalwood that is a little pungent and spicy compared to other fragrances, so the incense burner at home is full of sandalwood, and even the incense that is smoked on clothes is sandalwood that most people don't use.

Considering that children may prefer soft and fragrant fragrances, Datengu also asked Ah Yuan if he would like to change to other incenses. Although he prefers sandalwood, if Ah Yuan does not like it, it is not a problem to switch to other incenses. accepted thing.

At that time, Ah Xuan thought about it for a while, but still shook her head.In the modern age she lives in, she doesn't have the habit of incense, but for some reason, she fell in love with sandalwood.

Maybe it's because its unique aroma can make people sober, unlike other aromas that are intoxicating, it will never make people lost and sinking.

Ah Chen put down the clothes in his hands to prevent them from being crumpled, and went out to wash. After washing, he went back to the room and changed into the delicate kimono to find Ootengu.

The girl walked lightly to the door of the quiet room, and before she could make a sound, she heard a syllable from inside the door.

"Enter."

What, I found out without doing anything, so boring.

Big Tengu looked at Ah Chen who was wearing a new dress, and spoke first, "Why did you put it on so early?"

This kimono is exquisite in workmanship. If it is accidentally scratched or stained, Ah Xie will feel very distressed.

Ah Xuan opened her arms and twirled around before answering the irrelevant question: "How is it? Does it look good?"

Before Daitengu could answer her, he answered Daitengu's question with a smile: "Because I want Daitengu to be the first to see how I look in this kimono. How is it? Does it look good?"

The words are asking, but the expression is full of "you picked this, you can't say it's not good-looking".

Datengu, who understood Ah Ling's little tricks, replied seriously: "It's very beautiful."

Seeing the satisfied expression on the girl's face when she received the answer, she continued, "Happy birthday."

Not just the first to see you in your bar mitzvah, but the first to wish you well.

Hearing this, Ah Xie was taken aback for a moment, then reacted immediately, and smiled at Otengu.

It is a tacit understanding without words.

After saying hello to Otengu, Ah Xie went back to the room to change clothes with small steps.

The kimono is very elegant, but you can only walk slowly, and the obi has to be tightly wrapped, so you can only straighten your back.

It's beautiful, but it comes at a price.

Just when Ah Xuan bid farewell to the kimono for a short time, a few crisp "knock knocks" broke the deep and clean atmosphere of the courtyard.

There are guests.

So early, who could it be?

Ah Xuan, who was changing clothes, was not too worried about being a threat. After all, with the big tengu in charge, no one would be so careless.

The only thing that made Ah Xuan curious was the identity of the visitor.

Temporarily suppressing her curiosity, when Ah Xuan finished changing her clothes and walked quietly to the corridor, sticking her head out to observe secretly, the early morning visitor had already entered.

Faintly heard the person say: "Hey, I came here day and night wearing stars and moons. It's fine if you didn't greet me gratefully, but you actually want the guests to come to you on their own initiative!"

These words sounded like complaints, but they couldn't hear the meaning of Mai Tai, instead it seemed like old friends reunited.

Ah Xuan turned around and looked in from the door of the quiet room, and as expected, he saw a big tengu drinking tea indifferently, and visitors who kept complaining.

When Ah Xun saw that person, that person seemed to sense his sight, and turned his head, Ah Xun saw his face clearly.

Compared with the big tengu who sits upright all the time, his sitting posture is much more casual.He looked dusty, with grass clippings on his clothes, a vertebral hat in his hand, and the cold night dew on his body.

Although his face could not hide his tiredness, his eyes were full of spirit. His long eyebrows were drawn into his temples, his brows were sharp and starry, his face was resolute and handsome, and his long hair was tied up.

The moment their eyes met, he spoke first: "Hey, is it Ah Xuan? It's our first time meeting, but I've heard Ootengu mention you a long time ago."

This hearty smile, as well as this persona, can't help but remind people of a person...

"I am Yuan Boya."

really.

Caught off guard and confronted Yuan Boya face to face, although Ah Lie had already prepared for his coming, but such a formal meeting still felt a bit unreal.

This Yuan Boya looks younger, and there is still some youthful vigor and determination in the youthful face.

Ah no, wait what am I thinking?When people take the initiative to say hello, they have to say something, but what should they say?

Yuan Boya has already completed the self-introduction process independently, and it seems that she has nothing to say.

Unknowingly falling into awkward chat mode, Ah Xuan chose the most regular method, and nodded obediently, expressing her understanding.

Yuan Boya noticed that Ah Xuan was slightly uncomfortable, he was not a person who cared about etiquette, so he didn't hold on to it, but let go of her embarrassment: "You came just in time, but you need to judge properly! "

Eh?

Aang blinked suspiciously.

Then I heard Yuan Boya continue to say: "The big tengu is a squeeze! I turned down my official business when I received the letter, and found a reason to rush over here without stopping, but what happened?" He paused, "I First of all, I opened the door, and I have to find him myself, and the big dog just sits inside without moving!"

Yuan Boya was filled with righteous indignation, and the big tengu who was watching silently pushed an empty teacup over.

Seeing the empty cup, Yuan Boya became even more furious, super fierce: "Look, I've only drank a cup of tea since I entered the door! Where's your conscience?!"

Daitengu continued to drink tea, turning a blind eye.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Ah Xuan also seemed to be infected by the lively atmosphere, and giggled.

Seeing Ah Chen smile, Yuan Boya felt deeply isolated and helpless, and reflected on his inadvertent making friends, being cheated by Qingming in Kyoto, and cheated by Da Tengu again here,

However, Kagura never helped him, and now Ah Xie is also helping him.

Never expected that he, the dignified Genji, would fall to this point.

Sad, so sad.

Good times always pass quickly, with the arrival of Yuan Boya, the small courtyard is also bustling, and before you know it, it is the afternoon, the banquet begins, and the guests are gradually seated.

Gu Huo Niao, Yingcao, Shantu and other monsters who usually have a good personal relationship with Ah Xie were invited to come to bless them. Datengu did not invite any monsters that Ah Xie was not familiar with. The scale of the banquet was not large, and they were all familiar faces. , On the contrary, it is like a normal party, which makes people feel nervous.

As for the presents, Gu Huo Niao sent a safety buckle, Ying Cao sent a homemade sachet, Shan Rabbit brought the freshest carrots, and Yuan Boya sent a dagger.

Laughing and cursing with friends is always the best way to pass the time.

Yuan Boya quietly carried the wine bottle and found the big tengu who was watching Ah Chen playing games.

Sensing him coming, Daitengu handed out the wine glass in his hand very consciously, Yuan Boya rolled his eyes and poured the wine.

Compared with the bustle at Ah Xuan's side, the two people here looking at each other silently and having a drink seem to be people from another world. There seems to be a line between the bustle and the cleanliness. Although it is invisible and intangible, it is It just exists.

"Hey, you really don't regret it?"

This is the boring Yuan Boya.

"..."

This is a big tengu who drinks silently.

"Speak, at least send a letter."

"I remember that I have clearly answered your question before." Big Tengu expressed dislike for repeated questions.

"I'm just asking, do you really not regret it?"

"..."

Until the end of the banquet, Yuan Boya did not pry a word from his friend.

Yuan Boya, who felt that he was disgusted to the extreme, decided to abandon his friend.

Ah Xuan played a little too much this day.During the day, I chatted with Yuan Boya first, and in the afternoon and evening, I was having fun. I was so excited that it exceeded my biological clock's sleep time.

The prosperity is gone, and the moon is on the branches.Datengu carried the drowsy Ah Chen back to the room, and just as he put him down and covered him with the quilt, he was grabbed by his sleeve.

"what happened?"

Ah Xuan's eyes were sleepy: "Da Tengu, I want to hear you play the flute."

"it is good."

Because of his hobby, Datengu carried a jade flute with him, and at the moment he agreed to Ah Xuan, he pulled it out, put it to his lips, and began to play.

The sound of the music was melodious, gentle and soft. Ah Lie was already deeply sleepy, but soon fell asleep after hearing this melodious tune.

At the end of the song, what caught my ears was the girl's regular and shallow breathing.

Datengu didn't leave, got up and left, but lowered his head, looking at the jade flute in his hand in a trance.

The jade flute is warm and moist, full of water color, and the brilliance can be seen faintly. It was obtained by Datengu many years ago. By chance, it was made into a jade flute. It has been by his side for many years.

It's just that the tassels that don't quite match the jade flute are the poorly woven tassels seen on the jade flute.

After pondering for a long time, Big Tengu put the jade flute in his hand back into his arms, and turned his head to stare at the girl's peaceful sleeping face.

Pointing to the girl's forehead, she released a sleep spell.

...do you regret it?

How can you not regret it?

The big tengu pulled lightly, and without much effort, the snow-white sleeves slipped from the girl's hands.

The author has something to say: [-] words, there is still a plot behind, I moved it to the back, otherwise it’s too much and it’s not suitable emmm

This chapter came at a very important turning point, so I thought about it for a long time.

After all, Gouzi will go offline after this chapter and enter the new map.

I originally planned to write a short and medium story, and it would end within fifty chapters, but I reorganized the outline in the past few days, and found that the progress of the plot is a bit dangerous now. It is estimated that it will break through a hundred chapters. This is the rhythm of a novel...

There are still many shikigami who will appear later, what should I do...

But even now, I still don't have a dog QUQ.

Instead, Kaguya Hime came (...)

Announce the age of the characters as of this chapter:

Big Tengu: Unknown

Demon Fox: Unknown, but smaller than Gouzi

Ah Xuan: 13 years old

Yuan Boya: 23 years old

Seimei Abe: 22 years old

Kagura: Four years old

You may find that my cover has changed from default to none, why is this?

Because I changed the super cute cover that I entrusted someone to do!But I don't know why it doesn't show up (.)

After tossing for four or five hours, I don’t want to say anything, and I didn’t remind the format that it doesn’t match. Why?

Although it is black and white, it is really a super cute fox!It’s so sad not to be able to see it (Storm Cries)

Finally, secretly ask for a comment.
