[Comprehensive] Traveling through Liaozhai with a hundred ghosts

Xu Hang looked at Baimugui's eagerness to move, and felt the other party's unkindness. When he asked again, his tone became colder: "Who are you?"

The murderous aura released by Xu Hang brought Baimugui back to his senses, and he was a little more sober.

very scary!It is a survival instinct to be afraid of monsters that are stronger than oneself. Usually, this can avoid conflicts with big monsters that are overwhelmed.

But at this moment, the obsession with the eyes made Baimugui know that it would put him in a dangerous situation, and he was willing to take the risk.

The Domeku stared at Xu Hang's eyes obsessively, and said softly, "I am the Domeku."

Xu Hang frowned, and at this moment, Baimugui suddenly opened all her ghost eyes: "Cursed eyes!"

Under the gaze before the curse, Xu Hang's movements suddenly became slow. Although he realized that something was wrong and wanted to break the gaze of the other party, the slowness of just a few seconds was enough to give the Hundred Eyed Ghost an opportunity.

Eye!Those pure black eyes!Baimugui stretched out her hand, at this moment she was completely absorbed in her mind, only those eyes were left in her eyes.Baimugui knew that she was not Xu Hang's opponent, so she never thought of killing him, her goal was just to get those eyes.

However, just when her hand touched Xu Hang's eyelids, and she couldn't wait to dig out further, the Baimugui's ability to see other people's memories by touching the eyeballs made the Baimugui feel Xu Hang's emotions at once.Then... the hundred-eyed ghost was stunned, and fear appeared on his face at the same time.

What kind of monster is this...!

Domeki likes to collect all kinds of beautiful eyes, and also likes to look at the owner's memory after digging out the eyes.However, while watching the memory, it is inevitable that she also digs into the darkest side of everyone's heart.Only the owner with a pair of eyes, which she collected at the scene of the fire, is her favorite pair of eyes.Originally thought that the girl died in such pain, the memories must be full of resentment, right?Unexpectedly, there was no trace of hatred and unwillingness.

Why are there people who don't mind like this?

If that girl's memory is pure beauty, then this big monster's memory must be pure darkness!Baimugui thought, but when she actually touched it, she found that there was no darkness as she had imagined, but there was no beauty either. It was a world without emotion at all. For the things she experienced, even the memory master himself Also just a bystander.

The process of reading Xu Hang's memory is like reading a comic book. Baimugui will not be affected by the intense emotions in other people's hearts like when he was reading other people's memories in the past, but if he thinks about it carefully, such a person who is always rational and objective will not be affected by Isn't such a person the scariest thing that interferes with anything, and even treats himself as a usable tool?

Baimugui was stunned, and at this moment Xu Hang also successfully released the staring state.He immediately reached out and grabbed Domeki's wrist, and with a click, he snapped the Domeki's wrist neatly.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The pain of the broken wrist caused the Domeki to scream.

Xu Hang just looked at her coldly, and then said, "Is this the same way you got the eye on your face?"

Baimugui panicked, from the moment the sneak attack failed, she knew she was going to be doomed!Originally, she only managed to get the opponent to be attacked by relying on the big monster's defenselessness. Now that the opponent has broken her gaze, she definitely has no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.The moment Baimugui missed, he was already prepared for his own death.

However, she didn't expect that things went beyond her expectations again, and the big demon noticed her eyes before he started to solve it.

These are her favorite eyes!Eyes that don't want to be taken away even in death!

"No, these are my eyes..." Domeki struggled.

However, her behavior has already touched the bottom line, and Baimugui provoked him first, so Xu Hang will definitely not show mercy.

Xu Hang said indifferently: "This is not your thing, it shouldn't be on an evil monster like you."

After finishing speaking, Xu Hang pulled the eyes out of Baimugui's face without any psychological burden.

For a monster like Baimugui, Xu Hang felt that she could no longer be allowed to act outside, but killing her like this, the result of this treatment seemed to be incompatible with the crimes she had committed in the past.Xu Hang looked at the eyes that he had just plucked out by himself, and at the hundred-eyed ghost who had been restrained by him and was howling to return her eyes. Xu Hang thought about it and decided to consult with Qingming tomorrow.

So Xu Hang tied up the Hundred Eyes Ghost with a demon-binding rope, brought them back to the other courtyard where they settled down, and put them in a room. After placing restrictions and telling the servants not to approach this room, Xu Hang was about to find a container for the eyes in his hand. .

If there is time, I will see if I can find its original owner and bury it together, Xu Hang thought to himself.

Then he casually placed the container containing the eyes in the corner of the room, and began to meditate under the moonlight as usual.

But tonight seemed to be a little different from usual. At midnight, Xu Hang, who had entered into a state of sedation, found a strange scene in his mind, which was in a beautiful valley.Xu Hang felt strange. In the past, he would only see the aura flowing when he entered the meditation. This was the first time he saw a scene appearing.

Xu Hang remained calm and continued to practice.

Not long after, he saw the scene change to a house in the mountains, and there were two children playing in the courtyard, which seemed to be brothers and sisters.Then, when he saw a woman wearing a maiden costume coming out of the house, Xu Hang immediately realized that this should be Yuzao's past, but why did he see this scene?

Despite some doubts, Xu Hang still concentrated on his cultivation, and the surrounding scenes were played in front of his eyes like the pictures in a movie theater.Xu Hang originally thought that there might be something sad and sad behind, but it didn't. From the beginning to the end, it was full of warm and happy emotions, which even made him, the viewer, feel very warm.

When the sun rose the next day and Xu Hang finished training and opened his eyes, there was still a warm feeling in his heart. This was a very novel experience for him. He probably liked this feeling, Xu Hang thought, and then Just look at the container with eyes in the corner of the room.

Xu Hang took the container over, looked at the eyes inside, and finally released his consciousness to investigate.Sure enough, there were obsessions left on it.Xu Hang's mood is a bit complicated. If he remembers correctly, these are the eyes of the child named Aihua, but the child's mind is very simple. He is only worried about his father because he saw his father go berserk and turn into a nine-tailed fox before he died. status.

Let's go to Qingming to deal with the domeki matter first... Xu Hang is not sure if he will irritate Yuzao if he brings Aika's eyes in front of Yuzao.If it is exposed in the palace and attracts the siege of the Onmyoji, even the big monsters may not be able to retreat unscathed.

Not long after, Xu Hang came to Qingming's mansion.

Seeing Xu Hang coming over with a monster, Qingming was a little surprised, but after hearing the reason and what Baimugui usually does, Qingming became serious.

He said: "Such a monster really can't let her outside."

Xu Hang nodded and said: "I think so too. Although I have the ability to kill her, I feel that compared with what she did in the past, just dying like this can't make up for those victims, so I came here to talk to you Let's discuss how to make her atone for her sin."

Qingming frowned when he heard the words, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I have a suggestion, you might as well seal her up."

When Baimugui heard that Qingming was planning to seal her, he was immediately terrified.The seal that Qingming said is definitely not as simple as sealing power. Usually, the seal that Onmyoji refers to is to seal the monster in a fixed space through a formation. For a long time, nothing can be touched, and there is only darkness in front of you. Undoubtedly a torment.

Baimugui begged: "No! I am willing to work for you, please don't seal me up!"

Xu Hang glanced at her coldly, Baimugui shrank his neck immediately, not daring to look at him.

"This..." Qingming looked at Xu Hang.

Xu Hang asked Qingming: "If it is sealed, will the monster die after a long time because of its weakened strength?"

Seimei was a bit puzzled: "It's hard to say. Some monsters' power comes from human fear and imagination. As long as there are legends related to them, they will not perish."

Xu Hang thought that the legend of the Domeku ghost was still widely spread in the later generations, and felt that the seal was a little bit loophole. After thinking about it, he asked, "Qingming, do you still need shikigami?"

Qingming asked: "Are you planning to let her stay with me?"

"Well, I have such a plan." Xu Hang told Qingming his thoughts, "I will sign a contract with her first, which will restrict her power. If you need it in the future, just use her."

When Baimugui heard that this would save him from being sealed, he immediately cheered up.

Qingming opened her fan and covered her mouth with a smile, "Oh, you were the one who defeated me, but you have become my shikigami. It seems a bit embarrassing."

Xu Hang couldn't help laughing and said: "Smiling so happily and saying evasive words, it seems very false!"

After all, Domeki is an SR-rank youkai, so it is certainly a good thing for Seimei to get her as a shikigami.

Qingming said cheerfully, "Then I will accept it."

Then, Xu Hang used the picture scroll as a contract, and after adding the Domeki to the picture scroll, he ordered her: "From now on, you must not take other people's eyes again."

For the domeki who like to collect beautiful eyes, it will undoubtedly be a painful thing to be unable to capture the eyes of others in the future.

Sure enough, Domeki showed a struggling look on his face.

But when Xu Hang said this, he used a spell similar to the spirit of speech, which had a coercive effect on the domeku ghost.

Then, Xu Hang said: "Give back the eyes of those innocent people. If the host is dead, then bury the eyes together."

Baimugui gritted his teeth, and finally responded: "I, I know."

"That's it." Xu Hang handed Baimugui to Qingming.

Qingming signed a contract with Domeki again to further restrain him.

After dealing with the Domeki matter, Qingming invited Xu Hang to sit down and chat about old times.

Asking the paper figurines in the courtyard to bring tea, Qingming gossips, "You've been in and out of the palace a lot these days, do you have any female officials to express your interest in?"

When Xu Hang was painting, there were often female officials and wives peeping from behind the bamboo curtain. His handsome appearance was undoubtedly a sight for those women who stayed in the palace all year round.Since the first time he entered the palace to paint, when he was painting, there were always many court ladies watching in the courtyard.

Not all the female officials are the reservists of the Heavenly Empress Palace, and many of them have been married before. They will not stay in the palace all their lives, and they usually resign and leave the palace when they are old.When working in the palace, one cannot easily leave the palace, so sometimes it is very common to find a lover who exchanges letters and gives gifts to each other, which can be regarded as a solution to the loneliness in the palace.

Xu Hang shook his head, and said helplessly, "You should know that my mind won't be on this kind of thing."

Qingming smiled and said: "It's an expected answer, but Xu Hang, sometimes I am really curious, what are you interested in? I think you always show indifference to everything, even if it is your famous painting skills, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you really like painting, sometimes you give me the feeling that you just do things purely for the sake of doing things.”

Xu Hang recalled what Yuzao said before, presumably Yuzao also saw through his point, that's why he sighed like that.It is true that people who have lived for so long without knowing what they want are really sad, Xu Hang couldn't help thinking to himself.

"You're right, I want to know too..." Xu Hang murmured.

Seimei saw that he looked a little disappointed, so he didn't ask further questions, and instead said: "A few days ago, I went to the flower forest near Heianjing to enjoy the spring. Beautiful scenery, I highly recommend you to go there when you have time.”

Hearing this, Xu Hang said, "How can I miss your recommendation with such kindness?"

Xu Hang spent half a day at Qingming's place before going back.

The next day, he had to go to the palace to paint again.

As usual, when he was painting, behind the bamboo curtain next to him were all the female officials who had heard the news and came to watch.

But today, when he finished painting and packed up his things and was about to leave, a court lady handed a piece of paper and a branch of tung tree flowers to Xu Hang, saying, "This is the Highness of Shujingshe who passed it on to me."

Xu Hang looked at the inscription on the flower note, which was the name of Yuzaoqian, and then saw some court ladies who hadn't left, all looked at him with a playful smile. Although he couldn't see the expression of Yuzaqian behind the bamboo curtain at this moment, he must It must be gloating at this time.
