[Shaoyin] like a short-lived epiphyllum

Since that day, Zhang Zi always had a premonition, not a very good one.Zhang Zi carefully memorized the books on Yin-Yang techniques such as prayer that he borrowed from Master Qingming, but he put down the books curiously when he heard the voices outside.Unlike the sound of rain falling, it is the sound of talking like a child.

Generally speaking, Qingming comes here every other week to check the barrier, and there are Aunt Xue, Junko and Xueling at home, so no monsters dare to come here.By the way, when they knew that Aunt Xue and Junko were lotus demons, they were at Guichuan Shrine, and they confessed to her why they were willing to be Lingzi, that is, her mother's followers.

They are monsters from the far west of Tang, but they are monsters, and the lotus itself is a holy thing, so they are definitely not monsters, at least Zhang Zi thinks so.

When I came to the courtyard, I saw a few little monsters vaguely, and under the tree next to them was Xue Ling who was listening to their conversation.

"Xue Ling, what happened?"

Hearing Zhang Zi's call, Xue Ling turned around and saw Zhang Zi standing in the corridor.Although it is approaching the early summer season, Xue Ling frowned in Zhang Zi's current clothes, swung her body and vacated onto Zhang Zi's shoulder, and put her tail on the other shoulder.

"Even though it's almost early summer, there are still a few months left! Remember to wear more clothes!"

"Staying in the house just now, I didn't feel very cold, and I didn't wear too much clothes."

While Zhang Zi was still talking to Xue Ling, the conversation over there started again.

"It's really similar!"

"Yup!"

"It can't be seen that there are two people at all!"

Zhang Zi was stunned when he heard the conversation, and then realized what he was referring to.Her appearance is very similar to the daughter of the left minister Fujiwara Michizane's main wife, as if she was drawn out of a mold.

"Hey! Don't blame me for being rude!"

"Yes, yes! Master Xue Ling!"

Zhang Zi chuckled, patted Xue Ling's head and beckoned those little monsters to come in.The barrier Qingming set up for her is a powerful protective shield obtained with the permission of her family. It is generally indestructible. The little monsters let them in when they saw Zhang Zi, but they were all wet and felt a little embarrassed, so they stayed in the fence. superior.

"Wait here a moment."

Zhang Zi asked Xue Ling to wait here, then turned around and went to a room and took out a dry cloth to wipe off the rainwater on the little monsters.

"I'm going to make sakura cake later, can you help me?"

"Can!"

"Of course, no problem!"

"Zhangzi, I want to eat cherry blossom cake too!"

"I'll make one for you."

After changing her clothes, Zhang Zi took out a strip of cloth and tied her hair back. She hoped that her handicraft was not unfamiliar, after all, she hadn't done it for a while.During the period, the little monsters were helping and talking about what happened in Heian-kyo recently. They heard that a monster was running around on the street.

After finishing the last procedure, the next step is to wait for the cherry blossom cake to come out of the pan.After tidying up the sundries next to it, it was almost time. In order to avoid being scalded, Zhang Zi opened the pot to let it cool down.And the faint fragrance of cherry blossoms wafting from it made Xue Ling and the little monsters love it very much.

Zhang Zi smiled, and after arranging the plates, carefully took out the cherry blossom cakes and put them one by one.Put one of the prepared plates in front of them, and in order to prevent the little monsters from being able to eat, he took the other plate to Xue Ling.Then I made a pot of tea with the empty stove, carefully poured it aside, and then picked up the prepared plate.

"Eat slowly, there is still in the pot, don't get burned."

As Zhang Zi said, he took the plate and walked to the room next to his room, and then put the plate in front of the room.

"I just made some sakura cake, Junko, you will eat it with Aunt Xue later."

After finishing speaking, he returned to his room, picked up the book on the table and continued to read.

By the way, I will try to use this spell tomorrow, hope it will work.

Thinking so, Zhang Zi attached the book to his face, narrowed his eyes and smiled.As soon as Xue Ling, who ate and drank well and settled down the little monster, returned to the room, she saw the girl with black hair put the book on her face, narrowed her dark blue eyes, and smiled happily, as if she had eaten honey. Sugar is generally sweet.

Yahhhhh~ This spring is not just when everything starts to sprout~

>>>

"Miss Zhang Zi, I'll just come here to return and borrow books! And you must be coming back at a time of magic, and the streets have not been peaceful recently!"

"It's fine. By the way, is the Gala I wanted here?"

"Well, Master Daoist already delivered it in the morning."

Hearing what Junzi said, Zhang Zi nodded reassuringly, then turned his head and said a few words in Junzi's ear.Junko agreed without saying a word, and then went into the house to prepare.

"If Junko remembered what she was going to do, she would absolutely hate you, Akiko."

"Hehe, Junko won't."

Zhang Zi said with a smile, Xue Ling also smiled gratifiedly seeing Zhang Zi's smiling face appearing more and more times.

"I finally smiled happily."

Zhang Zi was stunned when he heard it, and then he narrowed his eyes and smiled very softly.

I heard from Junzi that Aunt Xue's health has gradually improved, which is a good thing for Zhang Zi.

"By the way, why did you prepare Junko's lotus leaf?"

"Isn't Junko very troubled recently that her petals have fallen again, and I just use them. And Junko is not a demon, on the contrary, the lotus itself is a holy thing, and it should have spiritual power."

"It's for Changho."

Hearing Xue Ling's teasing eyes, Zhang Zi smiled and nodded without refuting.Anyway, it was originally intended for Changhao, so why explain something.

Seeing that Zhang Zi didn't refute, Xue Ling flicked her tail boredly.Before arriving at Abe Mansion, Zhang Zi looked at the little monsters that appeared in the corner, and she thought about those monsters saying that a big monster had been brutally occupying their habitat recently.

"Is something going to happen?"

"Why do you ask?"

Zhang Zi pursed her lips, she had a dream last night, as if someone was telling her what was going to happen.But that person was very vague, and the only thing that was clear was the fireflies floating around her, the same shadow as that at Guishen Shrine that night.

"Feel it."

"That's right, the sky has been changing a lot lately. I think Seimei should know, and he will find a way to deal with it. Don't worry."

"Um."

After arriving at Abe's house, it was not surprising to see the blonde woman who was outside and the red-haired man beside her, and nodded to them with a smile.

"Sorry, I kept you waiting at the door, but something happened a little bit."

"No, it's nothing."

The woman is Tianyi, the gentle female general among the twelve generals, and the man is Suzaku, Tianyi's companion.For this couple who show their affection all the time, Xue Ling would pat her chest and say something every time she came here, but their affection is quite enviable, isn't it?

Seeing Zhang Zi staring at them all the time, Tian Yi asked with a smile.

"Is there something strange about me?"

"No, no. I'm just envious of Tianyi and Suzaku's relationship, so affectionate."

"Ara, not at all."

Even though he was smiling, Tianyi's face was already very red.Seeing this scene, Xue Ling had already covered her face with her tail, while Suzaku was laughing and hugging Tianyi to make fun of Zhang Zi.

"Changhao is about to hold a crown wearing ceremony. I remember Zhang Zi, you are almost an adult."

Zhang Zi blinked and nodded.But even if she didn't know the meaning of Suzaku's mention of this, being defeated by Zhang Zi's clear eyes, Suzaku couldn't continue talking, but just smiled with unknown meaning.

After Tianyi and Suzaku took her to Qingming's room, they disappeared in place, but Zhang Zi could still feel their presence, the presence of more than one general.He handed the book to Qingming, and then asked a few more questions, Qingming answered her one by one.

"By the way, Zhang Zi, has anything strange happened recently?"

"Hmm...not really."

"Is that so? Show me your hand, grandpa."

Hearing what Qingming said, Zhang Zi also handed over his hand very naturally, and didn't feel any discomfort at Qingming's claim.Qingming looked at Zhang Zi's palmistry, then at Zhang Zi's pupils, and finally put down Zhang Zi's hand.

"Chapter, close your eyes first."

Zhang Zi nodded and closed her eyes, but once she closed her eyes, her spiritual perception increased.The general has a fierce look, and of course he also has a slightly gentle look, so it must be Tianyi, Zhang Zi thought.Qingming's voice of chanting a mantra could be heard beside her ear, and she also felt spiritual power rushing towards the hair ornament on her head.

Although I don't know what the pair of hair ornaments left by my mother have, but it is a fact that it has been protecting Zhang Zi since the day I made a contract with Xue Ling.She attached the white ball of light in her hand to her hair ornament, and the hair ornament changed. It was in the shape of an ordinary white bead, but the layers behind it peeled off to reveal the pink six-petal cherry blossom inside. .

"Okay, please open your eyes."

Zhang Zi slowly opened her eyes, and she felt that her vision seemed to be clearer. Regardless of vision, she could still see the shape of monsters, and even the somewhat blurred figures of the generals became very clear at this moment.

"Huh? Why does it feel like the field of vision is much clearer?"

"That's right, that's fine too. Seimei, what did you do?"

Qingming covered her mouth with a folding fan and smiled happily, and explained Xue Ling's question.

"I just helped Zhangzi get rid of some filth. Xue Ling, where do you often go with Zhangzi?"

"...Kifune Shrine."

"Is that so? It may be that the Kifune Shrine has not been peaceful recently."

Listening to what they said, Zhang Zi blinked a few times, just now she saw a figure in a trance.It should be an illusion, although she thought so, but the familiar feeling in her heart did not seem to be fake.

Borrowing another book from Qingming, Zhang Zi politely declined Mrs. Lushu's proposal to have dinner together, and wanted to go back before the most dangerous time of encountering the devil.Thinking of this, Zhang Zi couldn't help speeding up her pace, and the danger moved with her footsteps. Perhaps it was because she was too lax. Xue Ling only discovered it when there were not many people on the three main roads.

"Zhangzi, get out of here!"

Zhang Zi heard Xue Ling's loud warning, even when he reacted and dodged to the side, he fell to the ground, and a hole appeared where she was originally.That monster might also have sensed Xue Ling's existence, it didn't turn a corner and continued to attack Zhang Zi, but moved straight towards the bullock cart driving ahead.

"Xue Ling, that bullock cart is in danger!"

Because when he fell to the ground, he accidentally bumped into the wall next to him, and there was an abnormal red spot on his forehead, and small blood beads came out of it.Xue Ling was a little hesitant, but when she saw Zhang Zi's eyes, she gritted her teeth and went inside before the monster swallowed the whole bullock cart, and jumped out together after telling the girl to go out.

"stamp!"

Zhang Zi, who was covering his forehead, raised his head and saw Chang Hao who was rushing here and the monster he had seen a few days ago.She was half sitting on the ground, and when she tried to stand up, she felt pain in her ankle.

"Where is the injury?"

Chang Hao ran to Zhang Zi's side, seeing her covering her forehead and frowning, she knew she must be hurt somewhere.He carefully removed Zhang Zi's hand and exhaled when he saw the slightly swollen wound. Fortunately, there was no serious injury.

"Um, um, I seem to have sprained my foot a bit."

"Can you still walk?"

Relying on Chang Hao, Zhang Zi stood up slowly, but just as he took a step, his left foot wobbled.Chang Hao hurriedly grabbed Zhang Zi, then pulled him over and hugged him in his arms.

"I'll carry you back."

Zhang Zi looked at his feet and felt that he could only do this.She nodded, put her hands on Chang-ho's shoulders after he turned around, and put all her weight on Chang-ho's body.

Seeing Chang Hao standing up very easily, Zhang Zi, who thought he was well-raised, was a little worried.

"Isn't it heavy?"

"No, Zhang Zi, did you really eat well?"

"Well... yes!"

Being hit by Zhang Zi's soft fist, Chang Hao just felt like he was being massaged.He smiled and helped Zhang Zi to feel more comfortable before starting to walk towards her house. Zhang Zi stopped slapping and quietly lay on the young man's thin but reassuring shoulders.

'Then I'll go first, and I feel a little more at ease now that he's here. '

Xue Ling's voice came from his mind, and Zhang Zi also followed Xue Ling's method to respond to her.After feeling that Xue Ling was not by his side, she relaxed and leaned on his back, really wanting to go on like this forever.

Zhang Zi covered his hot cheeks to prevent the monster walking beside him from seeing his current expression.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No, no!"

"Remember to tell me if you're uncomfortable."

"Um!"

Why do I have such thoughts, obviously... just a childhood sweetheart?

>>>

"Then I'm going back."

"Well, be careful on your way."

Zhang Zi waved her hand and watched Chang Hao disappear at the door of her room. She put down her hand and held the gou jade that Chang Hao gave him before he left. The fiery red gou jade was as warm as a flame.

"Sure enough, let me go with you!"

Looking at Junzi who came in with plaster, Zhang Zi smiled helplessly.She held the Gouyu in her hand, and she couldn't hide the softness in her eyes. Looking at Zhang Zi like this, Junzi reluctantly helped Zhang Zi apply the plaster.Then he looked at Zhang Zi who didn't react until the plaster was changed, and flicked his young lady's forehead.

"Miss, I've already finished what you asked for and put it on the table in your room."

"Well, thanks, Junko."

"Yes, I'm going to find that fox now, and my mother's health is also completely recovered, so I can rest assured."

Zhang Zi opened his eyes wide, then smiled happily, and squeezed the Gouyu in his palm.

Yes, you can rest assured.However, her unease didn't go away entirely.After Junzi left, Zhang Zi lowered his eyes, no matter how hard he chased you, he couldn't catch up with you.And, the cold palace, the palace without Changhao...

"No, I don't want to leave you, Changhao."

Xue Ling, who stopped in front of Zhang Zi's room, looked at Zhang Zi who was crying in a low voice, and her mind flashed to Guichuan Shrine.The words passed down to her by her mother, and the image in the mirror.For the first time, she wished so much that she could change the fate of XingXiu, no matter what method.

——Remember not to interfere, Xue Ling.This is Zhang Zi, no, it is a necessary process in her life.If you change it, it will become out of control, remember.

I don't care what fate it is!I just... just...

——Xue Ling, come here, let's go home!

Smiling in the sun, she is so happy and heart-warming.She only needs Zhang Zi who smiles like that, that's enough!
