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

Mr. Yuan Boya, a non-counselor from the three empresses and a doctor in the palace, is still very young, with eyebrows like knives, eyes as sharp as falcons, a high nose bridge, thin lips tightly pursed, very handsome and handsome.Tall and strong, he was dressed in a black belted attire, and the streamer hanging from the tassel was floating behind him. Kamogawa Ayu was held by him in his hand, just like the carved bow he held in his hand when he was hunting in autumn.

In all fairness, Boya's appearance is still top grade.

Too bad it was born in the wrong era.

The maids around Ziji once gossiped about the famous noble sons in Ping'an capital.

At this time, the noble ladies are attracted to Yuanguang and Qingming's fair-faced people, and even Major General Zuo Jin, who once sent a letter to Qingming in the middle of the night, is quite popular because of his fair complexion.

When mentioning the three honorable persons in the hall, Boya, he sighed: "The three boys are brothers of the son's family, and their faces... are also quite handsome. If the facial features are softer, the skin color is whiter, and the eyes are gentler, it will be more beautiful." It would be better if you familiarize yourself with "Bai Shi Changqing Collection"."

Yuan Dongshi was curious for a while, and asked about Boya's history of gossip, all the women looked at each other, only Mr. Bian thought about it, and said: "It seems that one year in late spring and early summer, there was a ghost girl who was obsessed with him, and every night he blew the hydrangeas in the courtyard. In front of his house, he made a Japanese song and sent it to him."

"And then?" Yuan Dongshi asked, "Has a relationship between humans and ghosts been accomplished?"

Bianjun said seriously: "Later he said that the wind in his yard was too strong at night, and it kept blowing flowers and branches under his door, almost causing him to stumble, and also blew the love letter from the night party next door into his yard, so he changed his residence. Dai Nayan Fujiwara, who used to live next door, scolded him for ruining his daughter's reputation."

Yuan Dongshi: "..."

She shed tears of bitterness for that poor ghost girl and Dai Nayan Fujiwara next door.

Both have the same surname Yuan, one has picked up countless girls, and the other is still a young girl.

Yuan Dongshi sighed, for these two brothers from the same family who had completely different fates.

Boya carried Kamogawa Ayu and rushed into Seimei's dilapidated courtyard. Before he approached, Yuan Dongshi felt the thick black fighting spirit behind him. She took a step back to make way for Boya. It was convenient for him to rush straight into the yard and throw the sweetfish at Qingming's face.

But when she retreated, Boya just noticed her. Boya stopped the car in time, looked at Yuan Dongshi, then at Qingming who was sitting on the porch enjoying wine leisurely, and said, "Qingming, you summoned the new girl again. Shikigami?"

Yuan Dongshi: "...Meow meow?"

Yuan Boya frowned: "Nine Lives Cat?"

Yuan Dongshi: "...I know how to beat people."

Covering the corners of their mouths with their sleeves, Qingming smiled and put the wine cup beside him. With a wave of his wide sleeves, all the girls disappeared, leaving only human-shaped paper talismans in the air. Slowly falling.

And the little girl who was feeding the birds jumped forward, walked up to Yuan Dongshi and Boya, looked at Boya, then stretched out her hand to Yuan Dongshi, and said: "My name is Kagura .”

Yuan Dongshi smiled and held her small hand, and said, "My name is Yuan Dongshi."

Kagura looked up at her, blinked, and stuffed some grains in Yuanfuyu's hands. Genfuyu spread out his palms with some doubts, but saw the little bird surrounding Kagura chirping, It fell into her hand and pecked at the grain in her hand.The bird has gorgeous feathers, and its sharp beak gently rubs against Yuandong Shi's palm, raising its head from time to time, staring at her with dark eyes.

Yuanfuyu opened his eyes wide, and looked at Kagura again, the little girl had already jumped into the weeds taller than her.

At this time, she only heard a slightly jealous mutter: "Why did Kagura give you this the first time I saw you?"

Yuan Dongshi turned her head and saw Yuan Boya who had a face of "Fuck, my sister is ignoring me and wants to hug me happily". She raised her eyebrows and raised her hand: "Here, here you are."

The bird in her palm flapped its wings and flew up, then suddenly pecked Boya's nose, and then quickly flew to the weeds in the yard, leaving Boya with a red nose.

Boya rubbed his nose and shouted at the top of his voice, "Qingming! It's you!"

Qingming sat on the porch, stretched out his hand, the bird stopped between his fingers, and chirped a few times, he chuckled lightly, stroked the back feathers of the bird with his other hand, and the bird escaped from his throat A string of extremely comfortable gurgles, then flapped its wings, turned into a piece of white paper, and slowly fell from his fingers.

Qingming turned to look at Yuan Dongshi and Boya, smiled, and said, "It's a welcome ceremony for you two."

Boya snorted unhappily, brushed aside the weeds around him and stepped forward, halfway, turned around to look at Yuan Dongshi: "Aren't you coming? Nine Lives Cat?"

Yuan Dongshi turned to look at Wei Guang: "Can I take off the clogs on my feet and hit that guy?"

Wei Guang: "No, Miss Dongshi, we don't have spare clogs."

It was noon now, and the warmth of the sun at noon in summer, accompanied by a loud cicada, filled the dilapidated and overgrown courtyard, making it appear to be full of vitality.

Seimei leaned against the old colonnade, lifted the wine cup from the corridor beside him with one hand, took a sip, and sighed: "Hachiman's sake is so clear and mellow, it's really unforgettable after drinking it."

"What time is it, Qingming, you're still drinking leisurely at home!" Boya threw the fish aside, and said, "How long has it been since you went to Yingyang Liao to meet your needs?"

Seimei seemed to think about it seriously, and then said seriously: "Recently, I am doing my best to investigate the case of Ms. Fujiwara Yuko's illness, and I have no resources to go to Yinyang Liao to meet her."

Boya growled: "Then did you find out!"

Qingming smiled, stretched out his hand to gently tug on the collar of the inner coat, fastened the cyan inner coat with his slender and white fingers, and together with the bare neck, it looked extraordinarily dazzling.

Yuan Dongshi covered the dog's eyes and growled: "Mr. Qingming, please respect yourself in broad daylight!"

Qingming blinked: "This is the result of my investigation."

There was a black mark on the side of his neck, which was left by Qiao Ji the night before. However, unlike the night before, this black mark had expanded a lot, and its shape had also changed, as if some liquid had been sprayed out.

Yuan Dongshi looked at it carefully and nodded: "It looks like a parallelogram."

Yuan Boya turned to look at her: "What is a parallelogram?"

"The two sides are parallel..." Yuan Dongshi got stuck halfway, and then wondered why a liberal arts student would explain elementary school geometry to a Japanese more than 1000 years ago. She pointed to Seimei's neck, "This is parallel." quadrilateral."

And Qingming had already pulled up his collar, and said seriously: "In broad daylight, Miss Shizi, please respect yourself."

Yuan Dongshi: "..."

She sat down across from Qingming with a serious face, and said, "Okay, then, Mr. Qingming, after you harvested the seal of Qiao Ji last night, did you find anything?"

"Confirmed my conjecture." Qingming said slowly, he put the wine cup beside him, stood up, picked up a human-shaped paper talisman from the corridor, muttered a few spells in his mouth, and then threw the paper talisman, The paper talisman flew into the air, and then turned into a plainly dressed old woman.

Yuan Dongshi also stood up and asked, "Can this shikigami help us find Hashihime?"

Qingming turned to look at her, and said with a smile, "I asked her to grill the sweetfish brought by the three Boya after we went out."

Yuan Dongshi: "..."

"Why, Jun Ji doesn't want to eat?"

Yuan Dongshi gritted his teeth: "...Think about it."

Saying goodbye to the old woman who was grilling fish in the house and Kagura who was playing with Kotori Shikigami in the yard, Gentoshi, Seimei, and Hiroya, who strongly demanded to go with them, boarded the bullock cart that Gentoshi came in.Pulling the carriage that was much heavier than before, the old cow snorted fiercely, flicked his tail, and reluctantly drove across a bridge in front of Qingming's mansion.

Qingming held the bat fan in one hand and tapped it on the palm of the other hand. He said slowly: "Before Ms. Fujiwara Yuko, there were also women who fell asleep overnight for no reason, but the family was not rich and powerful, so they didn't care about it." It attracted attention in Beijing. I also heard about it on a certain Yinyang Liao Yingmao trip."

Boya, who was sitting next to Qingming, snorted, "It's rare that I actually heard useful news when I went back to Yinyangliao Yingmao."

Qingming smiled and said, "If it weren't for the three Boya members arguing outside the lower door all day long to see Kagura, I wouldn't have thought about going to Yinyang Liao to be quiet and quiet." He looked at Boya with a serious look on his face Shen Chang said, "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to the three Boya."

"You!" Boya stood up suddenly, and then slammed on the wooden roof of the chariot so hard that the tassel crown was crooked, and it was slanted on the hair bun.He snorted and sat back, straightened the tasseled crown, tilted his face to one side, trying to keep Qingming from looking at the red mark on his forehead.

Qingming smiled, and then took out a paper talisman from his sleeve. He first bit out a bite on the pulp of the middle finger of his right hand, using blood as ink, and drew a figure on the paper talisman. It was a pentagram, she leaned forward with a curious look on her face, while Qingming just held the paper talisman in her left hand, put the index finger and middle finger of her right hand to her lips, closed her eyes and recited a series of incantations.

This mantra took a lot longer than when summoning the old woman grilling fish. Yuan Dongshi thought that Seimei was going to summon some powerful shikigami, such as the Lord of Arakawa, but he saw Seimei's neck slowly floating down. A cloud of black mist, Yuan Dongshi was stunned, and realized that this should be the resentment that Qiao Ji had attached to Qingming the night before.

The mist floated slowly at first, and then, as if smelling the blood on the paper talisman, it suddenly penetrated into the paper talisman on Qingming's left hand.Yuan Dongshi watched carefully until the last wisp of mist penetrated into the paper talisman, and she vaguely saw a face in the mist.

The crying face of a woman.

In just a split second, that crying face suddenly became extremely vicious, and opened its bloody mouth to attack Yuan Dongshi. Yuan Dongshi reflexively fell back, but saw an extremely slender hand stretching straight towards the grimace, Crush that grimace into pieces.

Yuan Dongshi supported her body with her hands behind her, and her chest was bullied violently. Although it was not the first time she saw a ghost, it was the first time that she encountered a ghost so suddenly. All roaring.She shook her head, sat up straight, and saw Boya facing her taking back the half-drawn Taidao, her pair of sharp eyes looked fierce at this moment.

Qingming's hand that had just crushed the grimace was arranging the slightly messy hunting clothes on his body at this time, and his usual slightly awkward smile was gone. He just looked at the paper talisman intently, and then said: "There is nothing but Qiao Ji's resentment, and something else."

Yuan Dongshi patted his chest and said, "Isn't that grimace the resentment of Qiao Ji?"

Qingming shook his head, and said: "No. But it has been eliminated by me, and I can't find it out for a while." He opened the bamboo curtain, threw the paper talisman out of the curtain, and said to Weiguang who was leading the cow outside, "Then please follow that talisman."

Yuan Dongshi had calmed down a little at this time, and she was about to ask Qingming about the use of that paper talisman, but she saw that Qingming had turned around and met her eyes, she blinked, and Qingming who was opposite suddenly smiled and said : "Ji Jun doesn't seem too scared?"

Yuan Dongshi thought about it carefully, when the grimace suddenly rushed towards her, she was indeed startled, but if she was afraid, she was not.She didn't know why, but she always felt that the grimace had an indescribably familiar feeling. Although it was hideous, it seemed to have seen it many times, so she didn't feel scared.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard pleasant chirping sounds coming from her ears. She turned her head to follow the sound, and saw a bird with gorgeous feathers crawling into the gap between the curtains of the carriage, flapping its wings, and slowly landed. When he reached Yuandongshi's shoulder, he tilted his head, staring at Yuandongshi with a pair of dark eyes.

Yuan Dongshi looked at it for a moment, then turned to look at Qingming, excitedly said: "Mr. Qingming, this is..."

Qingming smiled and said, "It seems that it likes you very much."

Yuan Dongshi stretched out his arm, and the little bird jumped into her arm. She leaned towards Boya, who twitched the corner of his mouth, covered his forehead with one hand and nose with the other, and leaned back.

Yuan Dongshi laughed particularly maliciously, and the little bird chirped and jumped onto her shoulder.

After an unknown amount of time, the ox cart stopped suddenly, and Wei Guang's voice came from outside the chariot: "Mr. Qingming, that paper talisman has stopped."

Yuan Dongshi lifted the curtain of the car, and saw the mountains covered in green, and the summer sun was shining brightly, making the green even more dazzling. She raised her hand to cover the light in front of her eyes, but suddenly heard a bell .She recognized almost immediately that this was the bell of Guibune Shrine that she had heard twice before, but unlike the previous two times, this bell was clear and distinct, and it didn't seem to be very far away.

She looked up and followed the sound, and in the wind system of the dazzling sun, she saw a corner of the torii gate of Guishen Shrine hidden in the forest on the opposite mountain. far away.

"Here is..." she murmured.

"The tea garden of Guishen Shrine." Qingming said, Yuan Dongshi looked back, and saw that Qingming had already lifted the curtain and got off the bullock cart. He walked slowly to the uneven mountain road, looking at the mountainous landscape. Tea tree, said: "Although Liangyuan, the owner of the Tiantai seat, forbids mixing bowls and frying tea in the puja in June and November, monks have always practiced meditation with tea ceremony, so Guichuan Shrine has not stopped planting tea trees."

"Tea garden?" Boya jumped out of the car and looked around, "The Qiao Ji you said is in the tea garden?"

Yuan Dongshi twitched the corner of his mouth: "Shouldn't that be called Cha Ji?"

Qingming didn't answer, but went straight to a tea tree beside the road. He reached out and stroked the leaves on the branch, then shook his head and said, "This tea garden has not been taken care of for a long time."

Yuan Dongshi looked puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

"Tea leaves should be picked when they are the most tender, and most of the leaves here have turned yellow." Qingming sighed, "No one took good care of it, and this piece of tea has already been missed."

As he spoke, he walked straight into the tea garden, followed by Yuan Dongshi and Boya. After walking in the tea garden for a short time, he saw a low wooden house. The door of the wooden house was locked, and the chain was rusted. Spotted and covered with dust, it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time, but Yuan Dongshi heard the faint sound of water flowing around this wooden house.

She followed the sound of the water, and when the sound of the water became more and more clear, a gust of cool wind brushed away the hot breath on her cheeks, a small river meandered down from the mountain, the water was not deep, but it was clearer, The water flow was stirred up by the stones at the bottom of the river, and then slapped back to the surface with white spray.

A huge stone by the river shines brightly against the green of the forest, the gold of the sun and the sparkling water, and a bloodstain on the stone is also dazzled by the light.

Yuan Dongshi walked to the edge of the stone, looked at the bloodstain for a long time, and then suddenly heard Yuan Boya's voice behind him: "This is not the one on Qingming's neck..."

"Parallelogram." Yuan Dongshi said.

The bloodstain was very old, but the shape was still recognizable, exactly the same as the black mark on Qingmei's neck before.

She gently stroked the stone surface with her hands. Because of the perennial humidity, green moss had grown in the crevices of this stone. She groped slowly with her fingertips until she touched a man-made chiseled mark.

She paused, and wiped off the moss on the convex surface with her hands, and the moss on the concave surface made the engraved words clear and complete.

Yazhen, Chacha.

Yuan Dongshi let out a breath, then turned to Yuan Boya who was walking towards Qing Ming and said, "I know the name of that Qiao Ji."

"Isn't it Cha Ji?" Boya interjected.

"Go away!" Yuan Dongshi shook his hands, then looked at Qingming, and said, "Mr. Qingming can go and ask if the person in charge of taking care of the tea garden at Guishen Shrine is a woman named Chacha."
