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

In the past few days when the heavy snow was raging, it was getting dark very early in Heianjing. After Yuan Dongshi ate the dried salted fish for dinner, Mr. Ben had already lit a candle in the house, and the small department grabbed some rice grains to tease the boy. , several women in the room shared some gossip that was circulating with each other, and laughed out loud while talking.

Most of the aristocratic ladies in Ping’an capital are not interested in ghost stories, and the snowstorm that has been raging for several days can only cause them to complain a little. As for the legend of Heiye Mountain, after hearing some, they shook their heads and went to play on their own Game to go.

Ziji had just had dinner and felt sleepy, so she curled up next to Yuanguang to take a nap. Yuanguang carefully pulled her into his arms, picked up the cypress fan that had slipped from her hand to her lap, and placed it gently on the On the scorpion.

"So, Qingming is sure to be after the change in Heiye Mountain, did the lord say anything?" Yuan Dongshi asked.

Yuan Guang patted Zi Ji's shoulder lightly with one hand, and said, "It seems that he wants to invite the onmyojis from Yin Yang Liao to exorcise the evil spirits." He paused, and then said, "But both Your Excellency Qingming and Your Excellency Baoxian said, If the situation has not been ascertained, it is not appropriate to startle the snake."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Dongshi understood and smiled: "So Qingming and Baoxian decided to go to Heiye Mountain first."

Yuan Guang asked curiously, "Miss Dongshi, how do you know?"

Yuan Dongshi shrugged: "The two of them are becoming more and more easy for me to see through."

He kept talking about trouble, but if he was the only one who could solve the matter, he would never shirk it.

Yuan Dongshi supported his chin with his hands, and laughed after thinking about it. The boy who had pecked enough rice grains at the small department flapped his wings and flew to her shoulder, gently pecking at the butterfly hair ornament on her temple. , she smiled and caught the blue bird in her hands, and said: "I'm full, I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go back to my room first."

Yuan Guang smiled: "It's cold in winter, Miss Dongshi should go to bed earlier, don't practice the piano until late at night."

The smile on Yuan Dongshi's face froze, and then he laughed twice.

At night, I can't see the heavy snow. I can only hear the wind whistling in my ears. The lanterns on the corridor are swayed by the wind, and the lights are erratic. snowflakes in.

With the boy in his arms, Yuan Dongshi walked slowly along the corridor to the house, and said as he walked, "It has snowed for so many days, it's really abnormal."

"This snow should be made by monsters." Tong Nan said.

"A monster? A snow girl?" Yuan Dongshi said while lifting the curtain of the room, "It has been snowing for so long, I don't know if the snow girl will feel tired."

The female room had already lit the stove in her room, and she felt a sense of warmth as soon as she entered the room, which gradually dispelled the chill on her cheeks. She shook her sleeves and lit up the candlestick on the table. The blue bird He flapped his wings and flew into the air, turning into a boy with blue feathers.

Yuan Dongshi covered the lampshade on the candlestick, and was about to ask the boy Qingming how he was doing recently, when he heard a low and hoarse Yaoqin sound, she turned her head and saw the demon luthier had appeared, sitting gracefully on the four sides Under the wind of the ruler screen, holding the Yaoqin in his arms, his eyes were neither happy nor angry, looking at Yuan Dongshi and the boy calmly.

Yuan Dongshi coughed twice, and said: "Yaoqin master, this is a boy, Seimei's shikigami. Boy, this is..."

Before she finished speaking, Tong Nan tilted his head and said, "Is this the shikigami of Lord Dongshi, the demon luthier?"

Yuan Dongshi nodded.

"It turned out that Master Dongshi treated her as an ancestor. If she was not allowed to sleep, she would not sleep. If she was asked to learn the piano, she would learn the piano. She was also forced to learn the whole "Hujia Eighteen Pads". Luthier." Tong Nan said, his voice was as calm as usual, but Yuan Dongshi could still hear a bit of admiration from it.

Yuan Dongshi: "..."

Yaoqin teacher slightly turned his head to look at her, his cold eyes narrowed slightly.

Yuan Dongshi coughed twice, changed the subject abruptly, and said, "Do you want to learn any new tunes today?"

The demon luthier withdrew his gaze, plucked a note on the strings with his slender, white and tender fingers like spring onions, and said, "Today, I won't force you."

Yuan Dongshi coughed more than twice.

According to her understanding, the demon luthier should be angry.

Tong Nan said from the side: "Looks like it's snowing continuously, Master Dongshi is really sick, I'll send a message back to Master Qingming."

Yuan Dongshi stopped the boy who turned into a blue bird and rushed out of the house in time, rubbed his forehead: "Don't worry, I'm not sick, you come and go in snow and snow, but you are more likely to get sick than me."

She held the boy in her arms, and sat on the edge of the twig. Under the candlestick, there was still a half-turned-out scripture book, which had been circulated among nobles in Beijing before. The pages were dyed with cypress wood, nanmu There are several kinds of incense such as tea, white sandalwood, etc. Although the fragrance is mixed, the taste is very light, and the smell does not feel disturbing.

The boy flew out of her arms and stood on the pole.

She touched the gorgeous feathers on the boy's body with one hand, and at the same time took out a piece of talisman paper from her bosom. The talisman paper was light and fluffy, and under the candlelight, she could faintly see the exquisite woman painted on it.

"This is?" the boy asked.

"I have something to confirm with her." Yuan Dongshi said in a deep voice.

She threw the talisman paper into the air, and the candle flame in the lampshade weakened, as if being blown by the wind, it became erratic.

The blue bird incarnated by the boy stared at the talisman paper slowly falling from mid-air with a pair of small round eyes, and from the place where the talisman paper landed, there appeared a man in Shanbuki's brown single-clothes. long-haired woman.

The woman knelt on the ground with her head bowed, her long hair covering her face in a shadow, she said softly: "Master Dongshi."

"How are you doing these days?" Yuan Dongshi turned to look at her with a smile on his face, "Yudi."

Yudi responded, and raised her head. Under the faint candlelight, she could see a ghastly skull face under her shiny black bangs.

The boy patted his wings and said, "Isn't this the skeleton in Ju Xinyi's house?"

Yuan Dongshi smiled: "Exactly, you can call her Yudi. Yudi is gentle, you can ask her for some millet when you are hungry."

The boy said seriously: "Master Dongshi, I don't eat grains."

Yudi's shoulders shook slightly, as if she was smiling, but the skeleton couldn't see the expression, and didn't know what the smile on her face looked like.

"Master Dongshi, do you have any orders?" The skeleton couldn't see the expression, but the voice was extremely gentle, which made people feel less scary.

Yuandong Shi folded his fingers and lightly clasped the scorpion, and said: "Yudi, Ju Xinyi once said that he met a god in a desperate situation and got help." She thought about it, that day she was in Ju Xinyi's house The painting she saw was indeed a big tengu, but she didn't call Boya, who was familiar with the big tengu, to come and identify it, but what Tachibana Xinyi said before his death was also true evidence out of her guess.

The desperate situation that Ju Xinyi mentioned should be the discovery of Yudi's death, and the help he received from the big tengu was the way to know how to use the girl's flesh and blood to serve Yudi's dead bones to revive her.

However, although Daitengu is not a kind person, he is also extremely arrogant, but he regards righteousness as the principle he pursues. Did he really tell Ju Xinyi about such a vicious method?

She thought about it for a long time, until she saw the black air entwining Qingming in Qingxingdeng's dream, and she had some guesses.

She asked: "Yudi, do you know who is the god who helps Ju Xinyi?"

Yudi also seemed to have thought about it for a long time, and said: "At that time, I only had a sliver of consciousness attached to my bones. I just remember that there was a voice asking 'Do you hate it'." She paused, and then said, "At that time The concubine answered 'hate', and afterward, the owner of that voice attracted Xinyi Da... Ju Xinyi, and then took Ju Xinyi and concubine to a place together."

Yuan Dongshi nodded, and said, "That place is called Hei Ye Mountain."

Yudi nodded.

Yuan Dongshi leaned on the scorpion and let out a breath.

The demon luthier bowed his head and plucked the strings, and uttered a slightly high-pitched voice, while the boy asked in a deep voice, "Heiye Mountain? Is it the Heiye Mountain that has changed so much that it has caused heavy snowfall in Ping'an capital?"

Yuan Dongshi nodded and said, "It should be the Hei Ye Mountain."

The boy pondered for a moment, and said: "This summer, Lord Seimei figured out that there was a change in Heiye Mountain. He went to investigate, but found nothing, and only brought back Lord Kagura."

Yuan Dongshi laughed, and said, "I probably guessed what's in Hei Ye Mountain."

She stretched herself, raised her clothes and stood up. She was about to uncover the lampshade and pick out the wick when a gust of wind suddenly sounded in her ears. She turned her head and saw that the wind had lifted the heavy curtain and rolled the Snowflakes blew into the house, and a cold wind hit for a while, even the candles that had just lifted the lampshades fluttered uncomfortably.

"The wind is blowing harder and harder."

She put the lampshade back on and was about to find something to hold down the curtain, but just as she walked to the front of the house, she saw a shadow flashing between the lights in the corridor through the gap blown by the wind.

She frowned, lifted the curtain, and walked out of the room. The wind made her hair messy, and a few strands of hair were blown into her eyes. She shook her head and put the strands of hair behind her ears, but only saw The shadow of a wing appeared under the eaves lamp.

She opened her eyes wide, and saw that the wind was blowing even more violently, swirling snowflakes and beating her body. She took a step back, but the wind had already wrapped around her body, pulling her away.

The shikigami in the house had already heard the movement, and the boy flapped his wings and flew out of the house first, turned into a human form when he caught the wind, and grabbed a group of Yuan Dongshi with one hand. Touching the shadow of the wings on the ground, squinting his eyes, he swept his hand from the strings, and a clang sound came towards the outside of the corridor with great momentum. At this moment, amidst the whistling wind and snow, came a cold and arrogant voice : "Feather Blade Storm."

The strong wind swept the sharp feather blades, dispelling the sound of the demon luthier, and came towards this side with a mighty momentum. The lantern on the corridor eaves shook violently, and then fell to the corridor floor. The brightly lit corridor was instantly dark , the pillars of the colonnade let out a low-pitched groan regardless of the damage caused by the wind. Halfway down the middle, the eaves suddenly collapsed in half.

Yuan Dongshi gritted his teeth, hugged the boy in his arms, and turned his back to the outside of the corridor. The wind-rolling blade cut her back, and a piece of broken wood from the eaves fell straight down, hitting between her shoulder blades. She groaned With a sound, a sweet smell gushed out of her throat, she gritted her teeth to hold back, and then pushed the boy towards the bone girl Yudi and the demon luthier.

And at this moment, the wind seemed to have grown hands, and rolled her out from the collapsed eaves.

"Master Dongshi!"

In the darkness and howling wind and snow, she heard the voice of the boy who was no longer calm.

She was swept into the air by the wind, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, and coughed out the blood from her throat.

At this time, the people in the Ertiao Courtyard heard the sound, and all surrounded them. The dark courtyard was full of noise for a while, and she could vaguely hear Zi Ji's cry.

Her vision became somewhat blurred, and she could only vaguely see a black feather with light falling from the densely packed snow in front of her eyes.

"Winter persimmon!"

A man holding a guqin in his arms chased him from a distance, the familiar cold voice was a little anxious at this time, Yuan Dongshi smiled, thinking that the demon luthier finally smelled like a man, look at it It's still useful to offer him up as an ancestor.

She coughed a few more times, then wiped the blood from her lips with her sleeve, and shouted to the demon luthier, "Tell Qingming, I'm in Heiye Mountain!"

It's so far away, I don't know if the Yaoqin master heard it or not.

At this time, she suddenly heard a laugh in her ear: "Miss Dongshi is really as smart as the legend says, she actually knows that I'm going to take you to Mount Heiye."

Yuan Dongshi turned his head, and could only vaguely see a pair of wings of the same color as the night, and a young man in white who spread his wings and flew. She was supported by the wind, but at this moment, he could clearly see the short light blond hair of the young man fluttering in the wind, and his cheeks. Put on that ferocious long-nosed ghost face.

She laughed and said: "If I wasn't as smart as the legend says, Ootengu-sama and Hei Qingming-sama behind you wouldn't have taken so much trouble to rob me, would they?"

The boy wearing the mask turned his head slightly, and now Yuan Dongshi can see the slightly surprised light blue eyes under the mask through the eye holes of the mask.

Yuan Dongshi narrowed his eyes and smiled at him.
