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

The gossip in the morning in Beijing on this day was that the Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei and the legendary Ji Junyuan Dongshi came out of the palace together. There's new gossip.

The maid of the Lihu Palace who was welcomed into the palace by the Lord in the late spring, and was granted the honor of being an exception by the Holy Grace, turned out to be the extremely vicious ghost girl Hongye. Ju Shuntong was almost murdered by him, but fortunately, Yin Yangtou He Mao Baoxian happened to pass by, fought fiercely with the ghost girl, drove away the evil spirits, and rescued Ju Shuntong.

The Emperor was furious, charged Settsu Mori Fujiwara Yoshimichi with the crime of treason, gave him the death penalty, and ordered Kamo Baoxian to thoroughly investigate the matter.

When Minato Moshinobu arrived at Seimei's mansion, he saw He Mao Baoxian sitting on the porch, burying his head in his pen and writing a line. He stopped, tapped his forehead, frowned, and thought for a while. , continue writing.When the cat saw him, it meowed a few times, jumped out of her arms, and jumped into He Mao Baoxian's arms.

The sun in late autumn is bright but not scorching hot, sprinkled on the withered and yellow weeds in the yard, there is a different kind of vitality, there is the faint cry of autumn cicadas in the ear, Kagura is still squatting by the pool in the yard, concentrating Watching the carp idly swimming just below the surface.The cat jumped into Bao Xian's arms again, causing his elbow to shake in fright, and the inkstone placed on the edge of the scorpion was overturned by his elbow, and fell on the brown floor of the corridor, staining a small plate of pitch black.

He froze for a moment, then took the cat into his arms again, looked at Yuan Dongshi who was slowly entering through the courtyard door, and laughed dryly.Said: "Ha... an unintentional mistake..."

Yuan Dongshi looked at him, blinked his eyes, and then saw the cat in Baoxian's arms dipped its forked tail in the ink that fell on the wooden floor, and then rubbed Baoxian's chin with its tail, Baoxian Unaware of this, he just followed the cat and carried the cat on his back, saying: "I will restore the corridor to its original state before Qingming comes back. Don't tell Qingming."

Yuan Dongshi raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, since you're so afraid that Qingming will find out, then lend me the cat for another two days."

As soon as she finished speaking, the cat was stunned again, and then desperately crawled into Baoxian's arms. Baoxian hugged Maoyou and coughed twice: "Anyway, I'm also Qingming's boss and senior brother, so how can I be afraid of him? He knows it when he knows it. Maoyou I won't let you raise it for a few days."

Yuan Dongshi raised the corners of his lips and smiled, then heard a low and magnetic voice laughing: "Oh? Brother, what should I know?"

Baoxian froze, Yuan Dongshi turned his head, and saw Qingming stepping into the courtyard with a white hunting suit, holding the bat fan in his hand, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, a half-smile.

The corner of Baoxian's lips twitched: "You two look exactly the same now."

Qingming smiled and glanced at Yuan Dongshi, then looked at He Mao Baoxian, pretending to be surprised: "Today's senior is a little different from the past."

He Mao Baoxian leaned back under the pillar and said, "What's the difference?"

"It's exactly the same as the corridor in the mansion below." Qingming smiled.

Bao Xian was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Mao You's upturned tail. When he saw the wet ink on the tip of the tail clearly, he raised his eyebrows, hugged Mao You, and said to Yuan Dongshi: "This cat sent me a gift!" is you."

Yuan Dongshi said expressionlessly: "Wash its tail before sending it over."

Seimei ordered Shikigami to add three tea sets and a few plates of snacks to the teapot. He shook the cuffs of his hunting clothes to his wrists, held the teacup with his white fingers, and filled the tea bowls one by one. The slender eyelashes were attached to the lower eyelashes, without the usual playful smile in his eyes. At this moment, he was quiet and gentle. After filling the three tea bowls, he lazily leaned back on the porch pillar and made a please gesture.

Yuan Dongshi held the tea bowl and took a sip of the tea. The temperature of the tea was still good, warm and hot. It slid from the throat into the stomach, and the body that felt the slight coolness in the late autumn absorbed a little bit of warmth from it.

She put down the tea bowl, touched her shriveled belly, looked at Qingming, and said, "Only tea?"

Qingming raised her eyebrows and looked at her, smiling without saying a word.

Yuan Dongshi said sternly, "Shenshi, Qingming said, invited me to eat fish."

The cat squatting in He Mao Baoxian's arms also "meowed".

Qingming slowly put the tea bowl back and said, "There is still some time."

"How long?"

Qingming seemed to lower her head in thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Miss Persimmon still needs dozens of strokes."

Yuan Dongshi gave him a suspicious look, and then began to count honestly. She counted from one to nine, and when she was about to count to the tenth, she suddenly heard a loud noise from the gate of the courtyard, Yuan Dongshi turned her head Looking around, I saw that Qingming's already precarious courtyard door was kicked open from the outside, and a young man dressed as a black warrior strode into the courtyard with dozens of fish in each hand, shouting: "Kagura, I brought you your favorite Kamogawa sweetfish."

Yuan Dongshi: "..."

Kagura, who was playing Shuanglu with the shikigami in the corridor, looked at Seimei. Seimei smiled, tied her right index finger to her lips, motioned her to stop talking, and then tapped the bat fan on the palm of the other hand, saying: "Boya three, thank you for Kagura." As he said, he took out a small piece of human-shaped paper from his arms and threw it into the air. Yuan Dongshi recognized at a glance that this old woman was a grilled fish specialist in Qingming's mansion. The last time she went out with Qingming and Boya to investigate the Qiaoji incident, it was this old woman who took the fish at home. The strips of Kamogawa sweetfish brought by Boya were grilled so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, that she could never forget it once she ate it.

She watched the old woman take the fish that Boya was holding in both hands, and walked towards the backyard vigorously. She swallowed her saliva, gave Qingming a thumbs up, and said, "A master."

Hemo Baoxian, who had already washed his chin, also gave him a thumbs up: "A coup."

Qingming smiled without saying a word.

After Boya handed the fish to the shikigami old woman, he stepped over a few steps and sat on the porch, with one knee bent on the floor and the other dangling in mid-air, looking extremely uninhibited.He smoothly took a few pieces of snacks from the stick, threw them into his mouth, nodded, and said, "It tastes really good."

Qingming smiled and said, "Aya must be very happy to be appreciated by the three famous Boya."

He raised his hand and ordered Shikigami Aya to add another tea set, and poured some hot tea from the teacup into the teacup. Boya supported her body with her hands, turned and sat next to Muzi, holding the teacup in one hand, mouth Still chewing his snacks, he said: "Recently, Beijing and China are not at peace. First of all, a commoner girl in Youjing has disappeared recently. I haven't investigated it clearly yet. Today I heard that the daughter of the Lihu Palace who is deeply loved by the Lord is actually a very famous woman." monster."

As he said that, he looked at the thick stack of papers beside He Mao Baoxian, and said, "Is this the memorial about the time of the female emperor in Lihu Palace?"

Bao Xian rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Exactly."

"There are so many, it's very twists and turns to watch the whole incident." Boya looked at Baoxian with pity.

Yuan Dongshi raised his hand and threw a piece of Poria cocos cake into his mouth, saying: "The whole incident is not only full of twists and turns, but also involved other big monsters."

"Oh?" Boya was a little curious after hearing this, "Which big monster is involved."

Gentoshi said casually: "The big tengu."

After she finished speaking, she squinted at Boya. Sure enough, after hearing her say the big tengu, Boya froze for a moment, then frowned, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and asked, "Is it related to the big tengu?"

Yuan Dongshi nodded, she recalled the scene when the big tengu appeared in the maple forest of the Lihu Palace, and said: "The ghost girl Hongye was instructed by the big tengu to come to the palace."

Boya frowned even tighter, and murmured: "It doesn't make sense, that guy, is there a reason, but no matter what the reason is, this doesn't seem like something he would do."

While he was talking to himself, Yuan Dongshi and He Mao Baoxian exchanged a look, and He Mao Baoxian said: "From what the three Boya guys said, it seems that they know Daitengu?"

Boya raised his eyes and looked at the three people present, holding the sword tied around his waist with one hand, his eyes became a little misty, as if he was thinking about something, after a long time, he said: "I used to work with the big tengu in the early years. Subdue the devil."

Yuan Dongshi didn't respond, but He Mao Baoxian was a little surprised: "Three Boya, have you ever teamed up with a big monster to defeat evil spirits?"

Boya looked at He Mao Baoxian, pouted: "Is this surprising?"

He Mao Baoxian nodded, and said: "The big tengu I saw ordered the ghost girl Hongye to enter the palace as Fujiwara Yoshimichi's daughter, and won the man's favor by means of charm. Although I don't know the reason, it can be seen that it is definitely not a good thing."

Boya sighed, and said: "Although the big tengu I saw has an arrogant attitude, he believes in righteousness. He can't wait to wipe out all the evil spirits and cleanse the world. He definitely doesn't look like a big monster who will be with evil spirits."

While the two were arguing, Qingming put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Datengu once mentioned the 'him before', presumably, the 'him before' he mentioned was the one who believed in righteousness in Boya's mouth. Big dog."

Boya was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Then...has he changed?"

Yuan Dongshi replied: "If the 'previous him' is what the three Boya members said, then he has indeed changed a lot."

She also remembered that night when Minamoto asked about his sister's life and death, the big tengu said arrogantly, if it was him before, then the girl should still be alive.The former big tengu and the current big tengu have one thing in common, which should be their arrogant attitude, but the former big tengu believed in righteousness and took it as their mission to eradicate evil spirits, so it is very likely that Hongye at that time was the target of his attack. A young human girl should not be noticed by him, and it is normal to forget, but what is certain is that Hongye can't eat this girl under his nose.

Minamoto Raimitsu's younger sister was probably still alive at that time.

And after so many years, even the big tengu has changed, it is really uncertain whether that girl will grow up safely.After all, it is difficult for an orphan girl to survive without the blessing of her parents and relatives.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Qingming beside her say, "There is another visitor."

Yuan Dongshi raised his head to look at the gate of the courtyard, and saw a young man in a samurai belt appeared at the gate that was kicked open by Boya before. Then he raised his eyes to look at the people in the corridor in the courtyard, panting heavily, and said: "Master Bo, Mr. Boya... Those few civilian women from Youjing who disappeared a few days ago have been found..."

Upon hearing this, Boya asked, "Where did you find it after searching for so many days?"

The young man frowned and said, "...one is in the deserted forest of Wutiaofangmen alley...the other is in the swamp between Utiao and Jiutiaofangmen alleys...but..."

"But what?" Boya asked.

The young man looked at Boya, then at Yuan Dongshi and the others sitting beside Boya, and said, "But when they were discovered, the skin had already been peeled off, leaving only the bones..."

Everyone was taken aback, but Qingming suppressed her smile and looked at Boya.

Boya also didn't expect that the disappearance of You Jingmin's daughter who had been investigating for several days would be the result. He was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Those are all girls who have just reached the age of [-]."
