[Comprehensive] Messenger of Hope Uchiha

Princess Stingzi not only named the two members of the Uchiha family to participate, but also specially sent a female official in the palace to teach them how to behave.Aoi has always been used to being undisciplined. In Teacher Qingming's house, no one has mentioned etiquette. Everyone is as comfortable as possible. Naturally, Aoi did not expect to be so particular about eating, speaking, sitting and standing, and even clothes.

She looked at the gorgeous and thick twelve-piece kimono in the hands of the female officer, her face turned pale: "This... Do I want to wear it?"

People who will die, people who will die, it is so thick and heavy!Fortunately, she is a ninja, and it is no problem to carry a load of more than ten catties. How on earth can those noble ladies, including Princess Stingzi whom I saw earlier, bear such heavy clothes?

The female officer is a very kind and gentle young woman. It is said that she is the proud person next to the queen, and she is also a lady of a certain noble family. Her voice is soft, and her smile is as soft as spring water.

Now she saw Kui's fear, and said with a smile: "If Ji Jun is only in Master Qingming's house, she can naturally wear more light clothes, but the year-end celebration is grand in scale, and all officials and nobles will be present, so she will wear the most formal clothes at that time." Dress. Don’t worry, it’s not just Ji Jun, we are all like this.”

That's why I think you are very pitiful!Aoi screamed in her heart.

The female officer signaled the maids to put away the dress given by the princess, and continued to explain to Aoi the precautions for words and deeds.The progress on their side is fairly smooth, but Uchiha Mirror's side is very troublesome.

Not to mention being instructed on etiquette, he didn't even look at the female officer sent by the palace, and lay directly facing the courtyard under the porch, with one leg propped up, eyes closed and meditating: "No."

The female officer kneeling behind him looked embarrassed: "But Your Royal Highness..."

"I'm her savior, right? If I don't want to go, she will force me to go?"

"But His Majesty the Emperor also..."

"I'm not interested, I won't go."

Seimei couldn't stand it anymore, the female officer was about to cry, sighed, he took the initiative to stand up as the master, let the other party go back to the palace first, and at the same time promised to persuade Uchiha mirror to participate in the celebration, and personally correct his etiquette.

The female officer immediately seemed to be pardoned, and after saluting, she fled as if fleeing, and sat on the betel nut cart waiting outside the door without stopping, and the wheels started to turn immediately.

Uchiha Kyou knew that the female officer ran away without looking. He opened his eyes and looked at the gray sky unique to winter outside: "Seimei, you don't want to go yourself, why bother to drag me."

A man dressed in white and sitting cross-legged next to him sat cross-legged. Neither of them seemed to be aware of the cold weather and the harshness of the north wind. They were both wearing the thin hunting clothes in autumn, sitting on the porch without fear.

"It's just because I don't want to go, that's why I want to pull you in." Abe Seimei smiled and spit out terrible words, "I feel at ease when I see others suffering like me."

Uchiha Kagami's scarlet eyes were slightly sideways, and he glanced at him: "You still have Yuan Boya."

"His participation is a given, and I don't need to worry about it."

So you're after me, right? You must drag everyone into the water.

Uchiha closed his eyes again, and made up his mind that no matter what Abe Seimei said, he would not participate in the year-end celebration that sounded troublesome.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he made up his mind, he was slapped in the face.

When you close your eyes, you lose your vision, and your other senses become more acute. Jing clearly felt that the man beside him took something out of his arms——

Rectangular, wooden, rough handmade.

Abe Seimei handed this inconspicuous box to Uchiha Mirror's nose, and then pushed the lid away——

In the darkness, a little light suddenly appeared, and the vigorous energy collided with each other, emitting an unparalleled, bright and warm light like the sun.

Uchiha mirror suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the wooden box in front of him.As he felt before, the workmanship was rough, and the lid and the groove of the wooden box were not tightly fitted, and it was slightly blocked when Abe Seimei pushed it away.

However, these flaws are no longer a problem when the jade in the box is revealed.

A green hooked jade lay quietly in the soft silk, the smooth and round jade body and the pale yellow silk intersected each other, immediately setting off the unremarkable wooden box as noble as a delicate jade box.

"Bachiqiong Gouyu." Uchiha mirror recognized one of the three artifacts at a glance, "Where did you get it?"

Abe Seimei rolled up her bright red thin lips: "I got it by accident during the previous monster extermination."

Uchiha mirror squinted at the past: "You already knew that I was collecting artifacts."

"Yes."

"In the end, you got the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu, and you kept silent and didn't say a word."

"Yes."

"Now in order to bribe me, he took the initiative to take out the jade."

"Mirror-kun," Abe Seimei's slender eyes curled up, and his voice was as soft as a spring breeze, "otherwise, how could I persuade you to participate in the celebration?"

Uchiha mirror snorted softly, propped himself up and sat up, took the wooden box, looked down for a while, and then raised his head: "You have already thought about it."

"what?"

"Hiding Yata Qiong Gouyu all the time, just to trick me into going to the celebration at this time."

"I can't say that, after all, I didn't think about what I would ask Mr. Jing to do at the beginning."

Uchiha Kagami stared at that cunning fox-like face, and had nothing to say: Abe Seimei could have used this hook jade to ask him to do more things, for example... In short, he can do anything except resurrect the dead However, Abe Seimei gave up, preferring to waste this opportunity on teasing him, and he is indeed an extremely boring guy.

Forget it, anyway, I got an artifact, so it's not a loss.

Pushing the lid of the wooden box back on, Uchiha Mirror accepted the bribe: "I see, I will participate in the celebration."

"You still need to learn noble etiquette."

"...Abe Seimei, don't go too far."

That's what I said, but I have to do things after receiving money, let alone accepting such a big gift as the three artifacts.

So when Aoi saw Grandpa Jing with a stiff face, studying Japanese poetry under the guidance of Teacher Qingming, she almost thought she was dazzled.

Who is that impatient person holding a writing brush and writing at his desk?

It must not be Grandpa Mirror!Isn't he most annoyed by these "sticky" things?

The little girl opened her mouth, and her mouth formed a circle.

Uchiha Kagami was being criticized by Seimei for being impetuous. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Aoi and Wang Ye beside her, and the two little ghosts looked like they had seen a ghost.

He threw the writing brush onto the low table, and pushed his hands back: "Qingming, let's take a rest."

Holding a volume of "Manyoji", the Onmyoji was helpless: "You just said that 10 minutes ago."

"I have a headache." Uchiha mirror is not exaggerating at all this time, looking at those specious poems, his scalp is really numb - why do these nobles have to chant poems for everything?It’s fine to say a few words while admiring the beautiful scenery, eating and drinking, and giving gifts. According to Seimei, if someone reads a poem to Uchiha mirror at the celebration, he not only needs to know the meaning of the other party, but also asks for a response. Immediately reply with an appropriate sentence, so as to "not lose elegance".

The man rolled his eyes: there is a fart Fengya, let him write poetry, it would be better to kill him.

Aoi walked over and flipped through a stack of letter paper on the table. The handwriting on it changed from being too bold and rough at the beginning to clear and straight, elegant and beautiful, but from some of the gestures, it can be seen that the person who carried the pen is unrestrained and uninhibited.

In addition to these letterheads, there is another "Ancient and Modern Waka Collection", on which several pages have been smeared with ink with a brush, and the paintings are in a mess.This book, together with Abe Seimei's "Manyoshu", these two books are probably the textbooks of Grandpa Kagami.

Qingming was also tortured by Uchiha mirror and lost his temper. Seeing that he was determined to take a rest, he had to put down the scroll and looked at Wang Ye: "Is there nothing going on in the Yinyang room recently?"

Ye Wang nodded: "Aside from the approaching of the New Year's Eve, everyone is busy checking the barriers in various parts of the capital, and there is nothing to do."

He is now an official yin and yang student. Compared with the apprentice-like existence before, he needs to participate in all kinds of affairs in the yin and yang dormitory, including divination, astrology, setting up enchantments, catching ghosts and eliminating demons, etc. He is very busy. Feeling dizzy, I took a rare moment today to rest at the teacher's house for half a day, and by the way check the progress of Aoi's yin and yang art.

On the point of being serious, Aoi really admires senior brother: I am so busy, I still don’t forget to care about her study progress, this time I will check her character drawing ability and give her a test!

Really responsible and dedicated, moved the world, and was insane.

A few people chatted for a while, and Ye Wang took Aoi to take the "talent drawing test", while Uchiha Kagami continued to study poetry with Seimei half-dead.

When it was time for dinner at night, both grandpa and grandson were dying. To be precise, Aoi was lying on the table dying. Now her mind is full of all kinds of messy spells.The crooked ink-colored juice dangled in front of her eyes, twisting into a ball like a snake, making it impossible for her to tell which spell was right for which.

She was so dizzy that even the meals carefully prepared by Shikigami Sakura and Momo couldn't arouse her appetite.

Ma Cangye Wang left Qingming's house before dinner, and he had to rush to Yinyang Liao, because the weather was fine tonight, without dark clouds, and the positions of the stars were clear at a glance. An auspicious time for the celebration in two months.

Abe Seimei, who is a yin and yang head, "violated the material taboo" again at this time. Since he violated the material taboo for 360 days in [-] days a year, everyone is used to it. There is nothing particularly important, and he will not come to look for it. He, sometimes even if he came to Abe Seimei for advice, the other party was either not at home or it was inconvenient to meet people.In short, it is more difficult to ask this great onmyoji to do things than to ask Minister Zuo.

Well now, Qingming's disciple Ma Cang Ye Wang has become an official onmyoji. He learned from his teacher. He has outstanding abilities, is diligent in doing things, and is transparent and smart in dealing with people. He is welcomed by all the onmyoji in the Onmyoji.

According to Qingming's words, "Although King Ye's spiritual vision has troubled him a lot, as long as he can control himself, spiritual vision is very useful in interpersonal communication."

Kui also thinks the same: when strangers meet, the most difficult thing is not knowing what the other person likes and dislikes. You can know it clearly, not to mention other thoughts.In short, in front of that young-looking young Onmyoji, there is no secret that can be kept from him.

Probably this is also the reason why Qingming rest assured that disciples became official onmyoji at such a young age—you must know that there are a lot of trainee onmyoji in their 30s in the onmyoji. In short, compared to the official establishment, they are at most temporary workers, not to mention official positions, and in many cases they are not even given the benefits of the holidays.

These people are not capable enough, so they often find ways to suppress the talented juniors. Ye Wang was also suppressed by these people when he first entered as a trainee yin and yang student.He had spiritual vision, he was smart, and there was great onmyoji Abe Seimei standing behind him, so he didn't suffer much.

These sunflowers don’t know about it, Ye Wang never said it himself, and Qingming doesn’t talk too much, so in other people’s eyes, Ma Cang Ye Wang’s life has been smooth and smooth.Not only was he born in the Asakura clan of the yin and yang family, but he was also fortunate to be a disciple of Abe Seimei. He also has outstanding yin and yang talent.

As many people envy Ye Wang's birth, so many people envy him. Sometimes Ye Wang knows their evil intentions through his spiritual vision, and he can't help laughing: These people are bright and beautiful on the surface, but in fact they have long been dark and smelly inside. Just like Heian-kyo itself, the exterior is flashy and extravagant, but underneath it is dark and full of ghosts.Sometimes, he also thought, if he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Abe Seimei, be enlightened by him, and later meet Aoi and the others, and see hope from them, probably he himself would have been swallowed by ghosts in his heart.

From this point of view, he was indeed very lucky to meet his teacher, Yuan Boya, and junior sister...

Aoi sneezed and rubbed her nose, and the thoughtful Shikigami Momoko immediately fetched a haori for her and draped it on her shoulders. At the same time, she brought a bowl of steaming red bean rice cake soup, so that the little girl could have dessert while eating look at the stars.

The weather tonight is really suitable for stargazing. There is no cloud on the deep night sky. The crescent moon is thin and faint, which will not block the starlight. Countless stars shine like diamonds, seemingly randomly distributed, in Onmyoji There was a deep meaning in the eyes, presumably at this time in the Yin-Yang Liao, the Onmyojis had already started divination.

In the eyes of Aoi who has not yet learned astrology, the night sky and stars are simply beautiful, but Seimei stood beside her and looked at her for a while and said, "Something will happen after the festival."

He also wore a haori on his shoulders. He was dressed in white like snow, but the haori was the color of a crescent moon. Clouds and stars were embroidered on it with purple and blue silk threads. People are as noble and unparalleled as the snow in the moon.Aoi was a little dumbfounded, but fortunately Abe Seimei bent his eyes at this time, showing a fox-like sly smile, this slyness dilutes the fairy spirit in him, and makes him walk down from the clouds and become more approachable.

Facing Qingming's clear starry eyes, Aoi finally realized what the other party said just now: "What's going to happen?"

"I don't know about that. After all, the position and movement of the stars are just metaphors and cannot tell us the future completely." Qingming raised his head again and looked up at the night sky.

Kui corrected him in a low voice: "It's you and Senior Brother Ye Wang, not me."

"This is actually a good thing." Qingming said with a smile.

"I know I'm not talented in astrology and divination. Teacher, you don't need to comfort me." Aoi pouted, took a sip of the hot red bean soup, and shrank her neck from the cold wind.

If her talent in talisman summoning is seven points, then her talent in divination is zero.Ye Wang also told and taught her how to divination by the position of the stars, or using props such as tortoise shells, but he was so dry, Kui still looked confused, and in the end even the serious and responsible teacher Ye Wang I also had to give up, admitting that Aoi really knew nothing about this aspect.

"This is not consolation, I'm serious." Qingming glanced down at her, the curve of the corner of her mouth has not disappeared, "Sometimes knowing too much may not be a good thing, just like Ye Wang's spiritual vision. There is an old saying in Tang Dynasty, Huiji must be Injury, that's what it said."

"Prince Zaoliang was intelligent and talented since he was a child, but his fate was unpredictable. He was hated by his elder brother because he was too intelligent, and eventually missed the position of prince, and even died because of it. The main reason for its establishment is to avoid the entanglement of his resentful spirit, in addition, there are eight hundred bhikkhuni piranhas, which suppress resentment, and are closely related to Prince Zaoliang."

"All of this is just because Emperor Hengmu was worried that his younger brother would be too smart and would threaten his throne, so he took a cruel hand. Prince Zao Liang himself understood that it was because he saw through everything that he died in exile... The term "Huiji will hurt" not only refers to the person who is too smart and easily falls into delusions, but also refers to the envy and hatred of others towards geniuses."

These should be the secret history of the royal family, and no one else dared to mention them, and only Seimei Abe dared to tell the whole story like this, bluntly.

In fact, Aoi knew some of these things from the eight hundred monks before, but now she knows more comprehensively and feels more deeply. She nodded: "Oh, if Prince Zaoliang can be smarter and more ruthless, he will be more ruthless than Emperor Hengmu. Just do it."

Abe Seimei was taken aback for a moment, as if she didn't expect her to be feeling this, but there was nothing wrong with thinking about it carefully, and shook his head with a chuckle.

At this moment, both of them heard a faint voice in the icy cold wind.

Under the brilliant starry sky, someone was scolding another person, the voice was blown by the wind and sent into the ears of Aoi and Seimei.The scolding was blown away by the wind and could not be heard clearly, but the sound came from the back yard.Qingming’s house is generally square, and the yard and verandah are also built around the house. Except for the side facing the main entrance, there is no veranda on the other three sides. At this time, Aoi and Qingming are located under the veranda on the east side. And the voice came from the north.

After hearing the strange movement, the two looked at each other, both a little curious - in the home of the Great Onmyoji, there will be no ghosts such as demons and ghosts, nor shikigami, they will be humans.

At night, apart from Seimei and Aoi, Uchiha Kagami is the only thing left in the house. Who is he scolding?

One big and one small all started to move towards the backyard. They didn't deliberately slow down their steps, because the speaker didn't deliberately lower his voice——

"I usually treat you badly, you are so disobedient..."

"Hand it over, before I lose patience..."

"You still dare to refuse? Do you really think I dare not do it? There are tens of thousands of good knives in this world, and you are the only one..."

"Now you know you're afraid? If you're afraid, spit out what I want, and keep the rest if you want..."

Aoi poked her head out from the corner: "Grandpa Jing, who are you talking to?"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw a miraculous scene, her voice stuck in her throat for an instant, and stopped abruptly——

In the courtyard under the starlight, a man in a thin blue safari had his long hair tied up casually, with a few strands hanging down his shoulders, spreading like black water patterns on his clothes.

Uchiha mirror frowned, a pair of red three-godama sharing sharing eyes were shining, the bridge of the nose was high, the corners of the mouth were turned down, and his face was unhappy.

And the object of his displeasure was floating in front of him, it was a smooth blade with a sharp blade...

"Broken, broken whirling?" Aoi's tongue was a little knotted, and it was the first time that she saw that murderous knife floating in the air without any external force, just like Shikigami Sakurako and Momoko... "It turned into a monster?! "

Hearing the sound, Uchiha Kyo looked down the eaves and porch, his eyes just swept Aoi and Ye Wang quickly, then put it on his saber again, and continued: "Hurry up and spit it out, don't think that Aoi is there , I don’t dare to do anything, don’t try to get away with it this time.”

Duan Po Whirling is quietly suspended in the air, motionless, like any ordinary weapon without sanity, but it seems a little silly to Uchiha mirror who speaks seriously to it.

Seeing that it was pretending to be dead, Uchiha Kyou's face sank completely, he raised his right hand and flicked the blade, his fingernails collided with the iron, and made a crisp knocking sound: "Hehehe, you really don't cry when you see the coffin. "

I don't know if it was Kui's illusion, but she seemed to tremble when she saw Duan Po whirling.

Abe Seimei, who was standing behind Aoi, smiled: "It seems that this sword is about to give birth to a sword spirit."

"Sword Spirit?" Aoi turned around in surprise.

Qingming nodded: "Everything has a spirit, and knives are no exception. Especially murderous knives, because they commit more killings and absorb more blood, they are often more likely to breed sword spirits than ordinary knives. At this time, if there is It’s okay to have an owner who can suppress them, if not, it will be very dangerous and must be sealed in time.”

Hearing what he said, Kui felt relieved: Isn't the master of Duan Po Whirling the Grandpa Jing? May I ask, is there any monster in this world that can be more vicious than Grandpa Jing?Don't talk about suppression, if there is a sword spirit, Grandpa Jing may force it to perform a striptease for himself.

Uchiha mirror doesn't want to watch a sword dance striptease now, he just wants to kill the other party now.

When using the reincarnation technique before, because it was inconvenient, he simply stored all the energy in Duan Po Huan. Now that he has more artifacts on his body, he can disperse and store the energy. As a result, Duan Po Huan began to not cooperate.It is unwilling to give up the energy it has absorbed previously, just like a hamster with too much food in its mouth, it will not open its mouth no matter how much the owner pokes it.

Uchiha Kagami is not the kind of cute little girl who would hold her face and scream at this moment. He laughed angrily and cracked his fists: "Very well, I'm still alive, and you started to rebel."

This time Aoi saw it clearly, and Duanpoxuan really trembled violently.

It seems that what Teacher Qingming said is true, Duan Po Whirling is really about to give birth to a sword spirit, and he can even understand human speech.

But judging from the current situation, he will be destroyed humanely by Uchiha Mirror before the Duan Po Whirling Sword Spirit appears.

A group of golden flames had already gathered in the man's hands. Looking at the light that was more dazzling than ordinary flames, he knew that the temperature of the flames was not low.

Duan Po whirled even more violently, almost making a rattling sound. If it was a human, it would probably be trembling at this moment, with its teeth chattering.

Uchiha mirror sneered and passed his palm forward, seeing the Taidao couldn't help but float backwards, trying to stay away from the golden flame.

"Give you one last chance to spit out the energy. Otherwise..."

With a bang, the flame suddenly grew larger, and the flame core almost appeared white gold.

Duan Po Whirling's body also began to glow with white light. From the handle of the knife, a ball of white light converged and formed, and as it moved towards the tip of the knife, it continued to expand and become larger, and the light became more dazzling, almost illuminating the entire backyard.

The starlight was eclipsed by the white glow, and the flame in Uchiha Kagami's hand was also dwarfed by comparison. The man extinguished the flame with his five fingers closed, reached out to catch the energy ball spit out by Duanpo, and stuffed it into a wooden box.The wooden box was just taken out of the sleeve pocket by the man, it looked very inconspicuous, only a little brilliance was revealed when the lid was opened and closed.

The energy ball disappeared and the courtyard dimmed again, and the stars in the sky glowed again.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Duan Po fled into the porch with a whistling sound, fled behind Aoi and hid, clinging to the little girl's back, as if she would not return to her original owner even if she was killed.

Abe Seimei chuckled and said, "It seems that Mr. Jing is disgusted."

Uchiha Kagami glanced coldly at the knife that hid himself tightly, walked over, took the scabbard from his waist, and threw it to Aoi: "Go on."

"Hey, hey?" Aoi hurriedly hugged the black wooden scabbard, looked at Grandpa Jing, and then at Duan Po whirling behind her.

"Since he wants to follow you, let him follow you." Uchiha mirror sneered, "Anyway, I don't need a disobedient sword." After he finished speaking, he turned and left, looking relentless.

Aoi felt that if Duan Poxuan had a sword spirit, the sword spirit would definitely cry at this time.

In the end, seeing the former owner walking away, the knife cautiously emerged from behind Aoi. After confirming that the man had really gone far away, he walked up to Aoi and happily circled around a few times...

Kui almost imagined a super cute little girl circling in front of her. Her eyes were a little blank because of the shock, and she said to herself: "Could it be...Duan Poxuan wanted to escape from Grandpa Jing's clutches long ago?"

Duan Po whirling nodded quickly, and of course he stopped turning around and swayed the blade left and right: Uchiha mirror is not human, he has no humanity, he forced himself to spit out the delicious food he ate!Whoever wants to follow this kind of master, anyway, it is enough.Originally thought that he had a bad reputation (all previous owners died unexpectedly), and he could get rid of Uchiha mirror after his death. Unexpectedly, his two younger brothers insisted on burying him as a companion.When Uchiha mirror is resurrected again, Duan Po whirling is naturally still worn by him, and he can't escape even if he wants to escape. Now that Uchiha mirror has let go of his mouth, Duan Po whirling naturally quickly abandons the old master and takes refuge in the new master.

Even this knife still said in his heart, Uchiha mirror, this is because you have given up on me, even if you cry and kneel and beg me to go back in the future, I will not talk to you.Today you ignore me, tomorrow I will make you unbearable~

The murderous knife twisted the tip of the knife, had enough fun, and inserted himself back into the scabbard.

Aoi held this heavy famous knife, not knowing what to do, she was very envious of Grandpa Jing's knife, but the knife was given to her, what weapon does Grandpa Jing use?

Seeing what she was thinking, Abe Seimei patted her on the head and comforted her: "Don't worry, since Mr. Jing said he would give you the knife, he must have considered this issue. For him, probably all the items in this world It can be used as a weapon.”

Aoi thought about it for the same reason, and immediately felt relieved.After drinking the red bean soup, she said hello to Teacher Qingming, then returned to the room happily holding Duanpohuo, lying on the bed and rolling back and forth, looking at the Taidao and Short Dao beside the pillow with smiling eyes.

Just like everyone who uses knives, Aoi is also obsessed with all kinds of famous knives and fierce knives. For them, there are never too many good knives.

Although it is not very easy to use Duan Po Whirling with her current height, but when she grows up a bit, she will be able to use it. By then, Duan Po Whirling will be in one hand and the short knife in the other... Hey, just thinking about it makes me happy.

Duan Po Whirling is also very happy, the owner has changed from a mean old man to a tender little girl, it's so fucking cool.No matter how much I eat in the future, I don’t have to spit it out.

And Abe Seimei, who was still standing in the veranda, continued to look at the stars in the sky, and silently recited formulas to calculate, until he found something, he stopped his thin lips and smiled slightly: It seems that the incident after the celebration, It's about swords.
