I didn't expect you to be such an onmyoji.

The timbre of that voice is soft and sweet, and there is a bit of annoyance in the tone, which makes people immediately think of a beauty who is pouting and acting coquettishly, and the bones are as crisp as before. Yuandong Persimmon only felt that the other half of his bones would also be crisp.

Yuan Dongshi looked up, and saw a graceful woman sitting on the branch of the maple tree opposite. The woman was only wearing a white sweater, with long hair hanging over her shoulders, casual and lazy. Wearing shoes and socks, her bare and white feet are gently dangling in the air, with a little childlike innocence. The light is limited, and only the outline of her side face can be seen, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth have not yet dried up. of blood.

She stuck out her tongue and licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, then raised her hand, licked the flesh between her fingers clean, and complained: "Even the blood is too bad to drink." She turned her head sideways, looked at Yuan Dongshi, and smiled Said, "Compared to men, it seems that young women's flesh and blood are the sweetest."

The young woman Yuan Dongshi bit the bullet and asked, "Are you Hongye?"

"Oh?" The woman seemed a little surprised, she stretched out her hand to support the tree trunk, and said, "You know me?"

"Togakushi ghost girl, Miss Hongye, she is beautiful and likes to eat people." Yuan Dongshi said, she looked at the man who had fainted from the pain under her feet, and said, "I didn't expect to be picky eaters."

When Yuan Dongshi said this, the woman was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed. Her laughter was not arrogant, like a noble woman who had been strictly disciplined, and she could tickle people's itch with just two soft sounds.She jumped off the tree and landed steadily on the ground. Her bare feet stepped on the ground paved with red maple leaves and came slowly. The warm lights outside the forest came through the gaps in the maple forest. In, before projecting to her, illuminating her beautiful face with a strange smile that was hidden in the darkness before.

And as she approached, Yuan Dongshi felt that the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, almost suffocating, and he didn't know how many people's blood had been stained.She took a step back, pulled Qingming's large sleeves to cover her nose and mouth, and said to Qingming in a muffled voice, "Qingming, you definitely won't care, right."

Seeing her almost burying herself with his sleeve, Seimei gave a low laugh and shook his head.

Hongye stopped not far in front of them. There were still blood stains on her hands and the corners of her mouth. Her eyes were crooked, and there was a childlike smile on her beautiful and charming face, which made people shudder. She looked at Qingming and Yuan Dongshi said, "Are you here to punish me, Onmyoji?" She stretched out her bloody hand and said with a smile, "Don't be careful, I'll eat you. She smiled again, "You two must be much better than that rash guy just now."

Yuan Dongshi looked at the man at her feet again, but at this moment, she found that the man's body gradually became transparent, and there was a white light around his body, just like the soul in the palace who led them the way before Fuji still waits in general.

Qingming looked at the man who was becoming more and more transparent, then looked up at Hongye, and said, "Miss Hongye, what you like to eat the most is not people, nor ghosts, but living souls that have just been taken out of their bodies?"

Yuan Dongshi listened and nodded secretly, thinking that the unlucky guy under her feet was Ju Shuntong who ran all the way from Qingliang Hall to Lihu Hall. It was Ju Shuntong's body that tripped her like a bridge by the bridge before. The man lying at her feet missing half of his arm is the living soul of Ju Shuntong who has just been pulled out of his body.

Compared with a ghost whose body has died and is fully spiritualized, the living soul is still connected to the body. If the living soul is dragged back to the body in time, then this person can come back to life again, but will be weak for a period of time due to the separation of the soul; The living soul has been separated from the body for a long time, and the connection between the two will be cut off automatically. When the person dies completely, the living soul will also become a wandering soul without a name on the Yan Luodian Life and Death Book; When attacked or dissipated, that body has no soul support, and can only slowly become a rotting corpse.

Yuan Dongshi is not very clear about the difference between living souls and dead souls, but at the moment when Qingming said that Hongye should not eat living people or ghosts, he thought of living souls, and now he is listening to Qingming. , confirming his guess.

Facing Seimei's question, Hongye smiled and said, "Then the Onmyoji will come and see for himself, won't he know?"

She said, those curved black eyes seemed to drip a few drops of blood, the maple leaf-like color started from the center of the pupil, and gradually spread, those night-like eyes turned red, as if immersed in Maple leaf in pool of blood.

Yuan Dongshi was looking at her, when suddenly he heard Qingming's stern voice: "Don't look into her eyes."

At the same time, Yuan Dongshi only felt that something grabbed her brain fiercely and pulled her away, and Hongye's faint and delicate laughter came from her ears. She opened her eyes and only saw the The maple forest seemed to have fallen into a vortex, twisting and twisting from the center of vision, only Hongye's blood-red eyes were still outside this twisted world, staring at her with a childlike innocent smile, and those eyes The eyes were getting closer and closer to her, and a pair of blood-stained hands stretched out from the center of the vortex, slowly approaching her face.

This is Hongye extracting her soul.

Yuan Dongshi gritted her teeth, shook her head desperately, resisted the force with her hands, and slowly stretched her arms towards her arms. Her middle finger and index finger were close together, and she just pulled out the corner of the talisman paper. The blood-stained hand He had already firmly grasped her wrist, pulling her hand towards the center of the vortex, and her palm had been forcibly ripped out of her body.

"Let me eat it." Hongye's soft voice rang in her ears, "Be a part of my beauty, follow me to live forever, let go of your hand, obediently let me eat it."

Yuan Dongshi coughed a few times, then raised her head to look at the pair of crooked red eyes, at this moment, her living soul's right elbow had been separated from her body, that arm was hanging down limply, unconscious, and Where Shenghun's wrist was tightly held by Hongye, there was a circle of red marks.

Yuan Dongshi laughed, and said: "Oh, I think you look beautiful, and you think beautiful too."

The pair of red eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "As expected of an onmyoji, it took me so much effort to pull out the living soul, but..." She giggled, "It must taste better than ordinary people. , can also make me more beautiful."

Yuan Dongshi smiled, barely stretched out her uncontrolled left hand, a white paper symbol with the sign of platycodon was between her index finger and middle finger, with the strong wind created by the ghost girl Hongye fluttering, she raised her hand Raising her chin, she said, "That depends on your ability." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a soft sound like a silk tearing in her ears, followed by the sound of lightning strikes that resounded through the eardrums. A giant dragon covered with layers of white scales hovered and roared out from the center of the vortex.

And almost at the same time, the sharp claw that was holding her right hand loosened, and the living soul immediately retracted into the body, and the twisted space like a whirlpool instantly returned to normal, and she felt as if she had bounced back from the taut bowstring, The body involuntarily bumped backwards, and a pair of hands held her shoulders from behind her, holding her firmly.

She turned her head, only to see Seimei's beautifully shaped chin and tightly pressed lips.

Yuan Dongshi looked at the paper talisman in her hand again. This was not the blue talisman paper she used to summon shikigami, but an ordinary white talisman. On it was only a very neat sign of Kikyo, and a string of her Incomprehensible curse pattern.She thought about it, the one who just appeared in Hongye's environment should be Seimei's Yuling, Shenlong was right.

So, this talisman...

She was about to ask Qingming, when she suddenly heard a few suppressed laughter: "As expected of an Onmyoji..."

At this time, there was silence all around except for the whirling sound of the maple leaves being blown by the breeze. The lanterns outside the forest shook slightly, and with the only light in the forest, the music started to drift.Hongye supported the tree trunk with one hand, bent her back, panting violently, she raised her head, her thick forehead hair was a little messy, her red eyes were hidden between the messy hair, staring at Qingming and Yuandongshi, she Although embarrassed, the smile on the corner of his mouth did not diminish a bit.

Qingming took a few steps forward, calmly protected Yuandong Persimmon behind her, and said, "Sorry, Miss Hongye, I don't really want to be eaten by you."

Hongye straightened up slowly, smoothed the messy hair on her cheeks behind her ears in an orderly manner, and said with a smile: "Then, Onmyoji, we will see you next time..." The smile on her face froze suddenly , the voice seemed to be stuck in the throat.

Yuan Dongshi frowned, only to see a gleaming Taidao protruding from behind Hongye, the sharp blade approached her throat, leaving a thin bloodstain on the side of her neck.

"Hongye, there will be no next time." A cold voice came from behind Hongye. Yuan Dongshi felt that the voice was very familiar, but he saw a tall figure coming from under the maple tree behind Hongye, that person was dressed in a black warrior The girdle and the lace on both sides of the tasseled crown cast a shadow on his eyes, hiding his eyes in the darkness. Even so, one can feel a terrifying aura from him, as if he is catching prey falcon.

"Menraimitsu?" Yuan Dongshi asked in surprise, "Why is Minamoto Raimitsu here?"

And Qingming glanced at her side from the corner of her eye, and said with a smile: "Brother, since you're here, why don't you show up?"

Hearing what he said, Yuan Dongshi opened his eyes wide again: "He Mao Baoxian is also here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a smiling voice from one side of her ear: "Look this way, look this way."

Yuan Dongshi hurriedly covered his ears and looked over there, only to see He Mao Baoxian sitting cross-legged on a branch in a black hunting coat, with the black cat lying on his lap, he smoothed the cat's fur with one hand, and supported it with the other. His chin turned to Yuan Dongshi and said: "It's rare to come to the palace to be on duty at night. If you ask about such a strong smell of blood, you must take a look." He looked at Abe Seimei and said angrily, "I know that I hate these troublesome things the most. Qingming, I was tricked by you again."

Qingming's expression remained unchanged: "I'd like to bet and admit defeat."

He Mao Baoxian probably knew that Seimei would remain indifferent no matter how much he sued, so he shrugged his shoulders, jumped down from the tree with the cat in his arms, landed firmly on Yuan Dongshi's side, yawned, and squinted. He squinted his eyes and said, "So it's Hongye, the ghost girl of Togakure, so Laiguang is really a coincidence."

"Coincidentally?" Yuan Dongshi looked back at him puzzled.

He Mao Baoxian raised his chin toward Qingming, and said, "Ask him, Lai Guang just asked him for help."

When Ka Moo Baoxian said this, Yuan Dongshi remembered that she had met Minamoto Raimiko in Seimei's mansion earlier. It must have been that time. The monster who once fought against the young self, and this has proved that the evil wind in Qingliang Temple was caused by the ghost girl Hongye.

Could it be that the ghost face is the ghost girl Hongye?

Yuan Dongshi looked at Qingming again, seeing her curious eyes, Qingming smiled and said, "Miss Shizi, do you know Lord Laiguang's grandfather?"

Yuan Dongshi searched in her mind a bunch of people with the surname Yuan that she met in Japanese culture class, and then shook her head, she really didn't know.

"Lord Raikou's grandfather is the grandson of Emperor Seiwa, the eldest son of Prince Sadajun, and the general guarding the palace, Minamoto-sama." Seimei said slowly.

As soon as Yuan Jingji was mentioned, Yuan Dongshi immediately remembered that this person is the grandson of Emperor Qinghe, who was later reduced to a subject and given the surname Minamoto. House General.It can be regarded as the pioneer of Genji samurai.

It's just that she never noticed that the grandfather of Yuan Yuan Laiguang was Yuan Jingji.

Qingming said: "And this Huyin ghost girl, Miss Hongye, was the concubine of Master Yuan Jingji many years ago."

Yuan Dongshi: "..."

She turned her head stiffly to look at Momiji and Minamoto Raimitsu.

What is this unfolding?

"The Gears of Destiny--My Step-Grandmother and I Reunited After Many Years, Only Blades Face each other"?

At this time, Hongye turned her head slightly, looked at Minamoto Raimitsu who was standing behind her, narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile: "So it's you, Raiko."

The mustache in Raimiko Minamoto's hand moved closer to Momiji's neck, and said in a deep voice, "Where is she?"

"Her?" Hongye was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Of course the monsters shared the food."
