Hongye didn't expect that when she arrived at Qingming's mansion, she still couldn't take the first step.

She stood at the door of the mansion with a gloomy look on her face.

Involuntarily clutching the front of her clothes, Hongye felt her heart beating faster and faster. She was hesitant, wanting to see Qingming but not daring to go in naturally as usual.

Hongye, who was so worried, didn't find anything unusual, that is, there was no shikigami at the gate of Seimei's mansion to welcome the guests. If it was before, every time she came here, there would be a different shikigami, as if she had known her for a long time. When she arrives, she usually stands at the door to meet her.

But today, the doorway was empty, and there was almost no one on the street where Qingming's mansion was located.

Hongye didn't care about these unusual places, but walked around the door on her own.

"What should I do?"

She hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to walk into the gate of the mansion.

It's just to see Lord Qingming for the last time and say goodbye to him. What are you still looking forward to?Obviously, he has agreed to leave with Shuten-douji...

Hongye finally made up her mind, but at this moment she finally discovered these somewhat unusual appearances, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart.

Qingming's mansion seemed to be empty, but when she was about to walk in, she found that someone had placed a transparent barrier at the door to prevent outsiders from entering.

"How is this going?"

Hongye stretched out her hand, wanting to pass through the barrier, but as if she touched something invisible, she was instantly cut off by an inexplicable force.

This situation has never been encountered before.

Why did Master Qingming place such an enchantment in the mansion?

She couldn't figure it out.

But I don't know why, my heart is getting more and more flustered, as if something unexpected is happening.

"Could it be that something happened to Seimei-sama?"

Hongye suddenly thought of this possibility.

She bit her lower lip tightly, and then her beautiful black eyes revealed a kind of bewilderment, and her heart unconsciously clenched.

If something happened to Seimei-sama, he would no longer be able to survive.

And at this moment, a familiar voice came from my ear: "Miss Hongye."

Hongye turned around and saw a girl with a clear face standing inside the mansion, trapped inside by an invisible barrier—Yao Dao Ji's expression was as cold as ever, but her slightly anxious voice revealed her true thoughts.

Behind Yao Dao Ji stood Shantu, boys and girls, shikigami who were Seimei in the past.

"Everyone...what's the matter?"

Red leaves are unknown so.

Yaodao Ji looked at her, with a trace of request in her eyes: "Miss Hongye, Master Qingming has disappeared."

When Hongye heard the news, her eyes widened in surprise: "Master Seimei...can you tell me what happened?"

The mountain rabbit was riding on Mr. Frog's back, and the lively and active little girl curled her lips sadly at this moment: "We don't know, Master Qingming has disappeared for a whole day..."

The maiden wiped her tears with her sleeve, and interjected: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, sam, lord qingming also set up a barrier at the door, we are not allowed to go out to look for him."

So, the barrier at the door was set up by Seimei-sama...

Why would he do this?

This question is obviously unknown to everyone, Yaodao Ji just said: "Miss Xuee doesn't know this news, and we don't know where Miss Xuee is, now the only one who can help find Master Qingming... is you Yes, Miss Hongye."

Hongye nodded without thinking, "I will find Master Qingming...don't worry, everyone."

Even though she said so, she actually didn't have confidence. Hongye was just an ordinary person without spiritual power, so what could she do?

It's just that the shikigami who don't understand the reason are too anxious, and can only pin all their hopes on her.

It is precisely because of this that Hongye forgot the agreement with Shuten-douji.

Shuten-douji, who had been waiting outside Heian capital for a long time, stared at the direction where Hongye left before. He seemed to be repeating this action tirelessly, and glanced there from time to time.

Waiting is painful.

The longer the time, the more anxious and lost people become.

From the newly sunny sky to the sunset, the sky gradually darkened, and everything around fell into a deep silence.

Shuten-douji's expression went from full of joy and anticipation to indifference and loss at the end.

He didn't know what he was insisting on. When Hongye left, he had a premonition that maybe that beautiful girl was just deceiving him. She loved the onmyoji named Abe Seimei, and the so-called last meeting with him , is nothing more than an excuse to get rid of him.

But he still had a glimmer of expectation and hope in his heart.

Maybe... she'll come back.

But until the moon hung high on the branch, he didn't wait for the lingering figure to arrive. Shuten-douji didn't say anything, he just walked under a tree at random, lay down on the thick tree as usual, took out Behind him, he unscrewed the gourd full of wine and took a sip.

The wine is intoxicating, and he only hopes that through the wine, he will never have to miss that woman again.

But he didn't want to go to sleep, Shuten-douji didn't want to...dream of red leaves.

"It's really ridiculous."

Shuten-douji mocked himself with a sneer. At this moment, he was out of his mind and had failed to live up to the name of the ghost king in the past. In the eyes of other monsters, Shuten-douji was strong and wise, calm and courageous.

But now, all he can think about is being with the woman he loves.

Get drunk one last time, and give up on her after tonight.

It doesn't matter... even if...my future self can never forget her again.

At this moment, Shuten-douji, who was about to continue drinking heavily, was grabbed by someone's hand.

He was a little surprised, and raised his eyes to see who was blocking him, but he heard a very anxious voice: "My friend... why are you so, so..."

Ibaraki, who hadn't seen Shuten-douji for a long time, couldn't believe it when he saw his friend lost his mind.

He didn't understand what happened during this time, Shuten-douji looked more decadent and lost than before.

When Shuten-douji saw Ibaraki, he was not as impatient as usual, he just sighed and said, "Why are you?"

Ibaraki Doji's face was full of worry: "To confirm what my friend said, I went looking for that woman."

Shuten-douji glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "And then?"

Ibaraki Doji looked away a little irritatedly, and his tone subconsciously weakened: "You are right, it is not a meaningless mood, nor is it so easy to cut off."

Ibaraki Doji, who has never had any emotional experience, before that, always focused on powerful power and fighting. In his heart, becoming a strong man and following a leader stronger than himself is a big monster like him. things that should be done.

Other things are not important.

So when he found out that he was interested in a human woman, he was so surprised and unbelievable, and eager to try to verify this inexplicable feeling in person.

But... Even if he is as dull as him, he still understands that he cannot be liked by her.

When he understood this feeling, he didn't have the courage to fight for it, maybe because he had more important things to do.

Or because, when this feeling doesn't really turn into love, maybe I can let go of it.

That's why he left.

Thinking of this, he seemed to understand something, and said, "My friend, is it because of that woman named Hongye?"

Shuten-douji didn't say anything, but it was obviously the default.

After a while, he finally spoke up.

"I'm waiting for her. She promised to go back to Dajiangshan with me."

Ibaraki Doji was a little confused: "Then why is my friend here alone..."

Shuten-douji said flatly, "Hongye didn't come to the appointment."

Half of Shuten-douji's face was in the shadows in the dark night, and Ibaraki-douji couldn't see his expression clearly, but there was a bitterness that he could empathize with.

Suddenly he exclaimed: "Then, my friend! Get her back."

"Don't hesitate anymore, maybe that woman didn't leave because she didn't want to, or maybe it was because of other reasons?" Ibaraki Doji said, "My friend, you used to be not like you are now! Ghost King Shuten Doji , is the strong man who commands the entire Dajiangshan monsters, so he won't show such an expression."

"What my friend wants, go for it yourself, even if you can't get it, it's better than deceiving yourself here!"

Ibaraki's sudden change of attitude made Shuten-douji a little strange, but he didn't think too much, instead he quickly considered what Ibaraki-douji said.

When he calmed down, he felt something unusual.

Hongye didn't come to the appointment for a long time... Could it be that something really happened?

In any case, what Ibaraki Doji said was right, he really shouldn't be lamenting himself here.

Shuten-douji was only stunned for a moment, then put away the lost expression before, he stood up, turned sideways to Ibaraki-douji, and his voice returned to his usual calm: "It's not too late, let's go find Hongye now."

Ibaraki-douji nodded. Seeing him like this, it was like seeing the Oni King Shuten-douji whom he had met for the first time again. He was excited, and his eyes were blazing with excitement.
