[Onmyoji] Don't rely on your face to eat

It was pitch black, and Seimei's pocket was very stuffy.

Hongye could feel this person moving his steps, and after a while, he stopped in one place, and then heard the sound of conversation.Hongye was very worried about Shuten-douji's situation, and she also knew clearly that she had offended an onmyoji shikigami just now, and there was no way to get out of it, so she could only think about how to please this onmyoji later. , How to let him let go.

After a while, Qingming stretched out his hand to grab it in his pocket, and Hongye felt that he was in the naked air, and the fresh air came to his nostrils, carrying bursts of cherry blossom aroma.

The glare was so bright that Hongye's consciousness, which had become a little paper figurine, couldn't bear it, and she felt a burning sensation. It seemed that her resistance ability should be strengthened, lest she encounter another trick in the future and turn the opponent into a small one. Paper man guy.

Arriving in the courtyard, Seimei murmured something, formed a mudra with one hand, and released Hongye's seal.

"Oh!"

Hongye turned back, she rubbed her eyes to adapt to the light, looked around, it looked like a courtyard of a big family, besides the demon fox just now, and those onmyojis, there was also a... puppy or a little fox Nodding and bowing to welcome Seimei back.

Although Hongye is no longer in the state of a little paper figurine, she is still bound by an unknown yin and yang technique, and her actions are forbidden, and she is sealed under a cherry blossom tree like this.Most of the monsters are not the opponents of Onmyoji, especially the powerful Onmyoji like Seimei, which makes monsters fear even more.

The demon fox glanced over, and Hongye happened to meet his eyes again. The demon fox opened its fan to cover its entire face, not daring to look at her anymore.

Hongye exited first: "Can you let me go?"

Qingming also opened the folding fan, slapped the fan gracefully, closed it again, and said while clapping the fan, "If you promise me, you won't eat people again."

No matter what, people are for Daozu, and I am for fish and meat. No matter how angry you are, you should agree first and keep your life first.Hongye nodded: "I promise you."

Yaohu was afraid that once Qingming released Hongye, he would find a chance to retaliate against him, so he had a flash of inspiration and found a good reason: "Qingming! You really believed what she said, and you are deceiving the public with your demonic words!"

As the saying goes, treat people equally, Qingming, who has the ability to win people's hearts, is often the most terrifying, so he didn't face up to the argument against the demon fox, but just compared his things, saying: "Since I believed you at the beginning It won't hurt anyone, so I should trust her today."

For a while, the demon fox had nothing to say.

Xiaobai, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but add another sentence: "What does Master Qingming mean?"

Eight hundred bhikkuni saw through it at a glance: "Mr. Seimei, is he trying to make this lady youkai a shikigami?"

After a while, everyone understood.

Good guy!It is really not easy for Qingming to contain so many meanings in one sentence.

First, Qingming can persuade Yaohu not to reject Hongye anymore.Secondly, because Seimei made some mistakes before, the demon fox was caught by Seimei, and naturally became Seimei's shikigami, but now he is still turning an enemy into a friend, standing on the side of the so-called justice.So Seimei also hopes that Hongye can turn from good to good.Furthermore, Seimei could see that Hongye seemed to be extremely wary of him. He wanted to find out whether it was the reason for Hei Seimei, and to know the truth, he had to gain Hongye's trust.

The most basic way of communication between people is trust, so trust must also be established between people and ghosts.Qingming first put forward belief, which is the first and most important step in establishing a good relationship.

Qingming went on to say, "I'm not forcing it, I just hope it can help you."

Hongye was surprised: "What can you help me with?"

In Qingming's words: "Because you don't seem to be willing to eat people, but you can't control your body's urge to absorb more demon power, and also, to maintain your beauty."

Hongye was silent, and went to the bottom of her heart after being told by the onmyoji.

Those meat, bloody meat, rancid smell, she was unwilling to try it at first, but later found that if she didn't eat these disgusting things, her demon power would continue to weaken, so she couldn't maintain the original state, and she couldn't eat it. There is no way to maintain their demon power.

And the more you get, you will want more. The demon power will continue to grow stronger as it absorbs the power of other little demons. The expansion of the demon power will result in a dependence on meat. Without these supplements of human flesh or demon power, it will eventually Will be even weaker, such a vicious circle.

Hongye loves to drink, probably because spirits can cover up the stench, and also, she herself is extremely dependent on things like alcohol.

It is not unreasonable to drink wine to relieve sorrow.

Seimei's current conditions are indeed very attractive to Hongye.

After thinking for a while, Hongye asked, "...is it possible that becoming a Shikigami can stop eating people, and keep her demonic power and beauty?"

Qingming explained: "Onmyoji and Shikigami will have a certain resonance in power, and onmyoji can do it. If a contract is established, the actions are restricted and mutually restrained, and they will not act recklessly."

After the harsh winter, spring comes. Although the ground is covered with residual blood and the air is floating, it can't stop the spring breeze from blowing and warming the branches of the cherry trees.This is a good time, and if it leads to rebirth, that is a beautiful thing.

And the onmyoji in front of him is a proof that a gentleman is like the wind, with extraordinary conversation, elegant conduct, and a lifelike heart to save the world.The powerful power emanating from him is not oppression, but a protective shield.

Hongye couldn't believe that this Onmyoji was the same person as the one she met in Maple Leaf Forest.She couldn't help asking: "Why are you different from the ones I met before? Could it be that your personality and behavior will be different if you take off your makeup and turn your face white?"

Seimei asked: "Before? Have we met?"

"Well, at that time you were wearing a black yin and yang robe and painted makeup. Your aesthetic taste was really bad." Hongye tried hard to recall the black painted face, their aesthetics were not at the same level at all.Although the breath is the same, but the hair color, skin color, and tone of voice, the one in front of him is more friendly and gentle.

"Seimei, could it be related to Kuro Seimei?" Kagura, who had been silent all this time, thought of Kuro Seimei after hearing what Momiji said.

"Damn it, I didn't expect this rift in the underworld to endanger so many monsters." Boya hammered the tree.

"So, it's not just about whether I can help you, but also about Kyoto. I have lost my memory for some reason, and I forgot what happened before. Recently, the rift in the underworld opened up. If I can let one more monster out of the possibility of falling, I will do as much as possible." It’s best to turn enemies into friends.” Qingming felt that the time had come, just like Hongye explained her purpose, hoping that she could understand her painstaking efforts.

Amnesia?

Like her, they have lost their memory, and they are always confused when facing anyone or anything. In this regard, they are very similar, so Hongye can understand each other's feelings very well.

At this time, Hongye expressed her own set of reasons: "In this way, becoming your shikigami does not benefit me, and I may sacrifice for your battle. As for the cracks in the underworld, it can strengthen my strength. Demon power is my benefit. They are all doing things for their own benefit. In comparison, the former is your benefit, and the latter is my benefit."

Although she lost her memory, the deepest feeling in her heart prompted her to say so.Now, for some reason, a memory flashed in my mind, which was blurry.

The only thing that can be seen clearly is Seimei's figure, which is exactly the same as the current figure.

The Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni sitting on the porch, after listening to Hongye's words, gave a conclusion: "Hehehe, as a monster, your consciousness is quite high, and it is more like a human way of thinking."

Seimei also agrees with the statement of the eight hundred monks.

"What's your name?" After a long time, Qingming only remembered to ask Hongye's name now.

"Red leaves."

"Hongye? It's a nice name, the person lives up to his name, and he has a heart that won't let him get lost. It's also very beautiful."

Qingming's unintentional words gave Hongye a sense of sight, as if she had heard of it somewhere, and it seemed that she had only heard of it today.

Once upon a time, such words made people very warm, like a spring breeze, gentle and touching, and like a storm, enough to stir up waves in a peaceful heart and break her out of despair.

The fuzzy memory that was fading and appearing just now gradually became clear, it was still the same person, in a maple leaf forest, that person said, your heart is beautiful.

The world always praises Hongye for her beauty, but not many people can pay attention to the depths of her heart.It is also beautiful to be praised by others, and there is only this onmyoji in front of me.He once said that when he passed by here again, he would go to see her again, and then... waited for a long time...

It turned out to be like this... Hongye understood that, a long, long time ago, she had met that maddening Seimei-sama.

"You...why do you think the heart is beautiful...you can't see it." Hongye was stubborn, even she couldn't believe herself, a monster who would kill at any time, how could the heart be so beautiful?

Do not admit, do not want to admit.

Struggling in my heart, memories emerged one after another.She danced solo in the vast and uninhabited maple forest, without the sound of the piano, without the audience.

Hongye always told herself to practice a few more times, and when that onmyoji passed by again, she would be able to dance in front of him and show her graceful posture.Then...he would fall in love with himself.

It turns out that this is the difference between human beings and monsters. Humans can often think about things in their hearts. They have complex hearts and can think. Sometimes they are cunning and sometimes they are dull.

Monsters are often only obsessed with one thing in their lives, love someone well, or wait for someone.

Regarding Hongye's question just now, Qingming replied in a gentle and gentle manner: "Is it beautiful or not, you have already answered my thoughts. Also, thank you for answering. Standing on the opposite side, being able to talk calmly and calmly proves that you are not bad. monster."

After finishing speaking, Qingming remembered that he still had some things to deal with, and was about to leave for a while, so that Hongye could rest for a while.

But the moment he turned around, Hongye stopped him loudly: "Wait a minute! Are you...is your name Abe Seimei?"

"Well, I am."

"I seem to... remember that you... sent me for the last time, when I was a human..."
