I just want to build a city
Chapter 16 (1)
At dusk, when all ghosts appear.There was a lot of cloudiness, and after the eyes got used to the dim light, even Mr. Qingshu could clearly see the appearance of Xiahuo Bird.
It has slender legs like a crane, a black-gray bird head, and wide black wings. The body is obviously a female body, wearing a lady's kimono soaked in blood.Every part of the body exudes a faint black demonic aura, plus the scarlet eyes in the black demonic aura, it is very strange.
In front of Qingshu-kun, the harpy exuding a dangerous aura is obviously not the image of Xia or Niao, who is predominately maternal, but the prototype of Guhuo Niao, who is more murderous.
At such a tense moment, Qingshu-kun had many thoughts in his mind. He looks like a child right now.He didn't think Gu Huo Niao had the ability to see through him as an adult in essence, not even Inari the Great God, let alone a monster transformed from resentment and obsession.
Gu Huo Niao tilted her head, as if she was also wondering about something.
Qingshu-kun is just an ordinary person, no matter how indifferent he is, he still reacts instinctively in the face of danger, his hands tremble slightly, and the red rope in his tightly clenched hands is sweaty.
By the way, red rope!
Qingshu-kun threw back the life-saving red rope given by the white fox without thinking about it. Monsters are sensitive to breath, not to mention that the guhuo bird, which was protecting the cubs, was even more vigilant as the white fox said just now.
Gu Huo Niao must have sensed the strong godly aura on him, so he hesitated to approach him, and even showed aggressiveness.
Sure enough, Mr. Qingshu threw away the red rope in his hand, and Guhuo Niao's puzzled expression was much reduced, and he hesitated to take a step in Mr. Qingshu's direction.
The smell of the white fox has not completely dissipated, so the guhuo bird still maintains its current appearance.
Qingshu-kun took a deep breath, let go of his sense of shame, sat down on the ground with a "plop", rubbed his eyes with his fleshy little hands, and grinned with his reserved little mouth, crying Howl.
"Wow..."
Not to mention Gu Huo Niao's reaction, Baihu, Xing and Kaiteng, who were far behind Qingshu-kun, who were ready to support at any time, were directly frightened by Qingshu-jun's different child appearance.
"Little master, are you crying?" Xing said hesitantly.
"Then... shall we go there?" Kaito-kun asked back.
"This..." Xing was also a little uncertain.It is not wrong to say that a 6-year-old child will cry when encountering such a situation, but the lord...
In this way, it is very contradictory, whether to go or not to go.
"This little brat, did you lose your face and start crying?" After all, the white fox didn't get along with Mr. Qingshu for too long, and he wasn't too frightened. He quickly realized that Mr. Qingshu was pretending to be a girl Look at the bird, but the pretending is really similar...
When Baihu said this, Xing and Kaito-kun also calmed down from the shock.Yes, it's just a pretense.
Qingshu-kun cried like this, the effect was really good, Gu Huo stepped on the bird, and came to Qingshu-kun's side, and the bird's feathers gently wrapped around Qingshu-kun.The moment before Toba came into contact with Haruki-kun, the yin and evil spirit faded away, revealing a beautiful color, orange-yellow gradient texture, black feather edge, which looks like the long sleeves of a luxurious kimono.
The evil spirit dissipated, and the weird bird head disappeared, and what reappeared was the appearance of a beautiful and gentle woman.Yellow-orange eye lines are outlined at the end of the eyes, and the scarlet eyes have also turned into warm yellow eye holes, but the abnormal vertical eyes are a little scary.
"Mom...here, here, don't cry, don't cry, my, my child." After not talking to anyone for a long time, Xiahuo Niao's speech was a little slow.
Xia Huoniao, transformed from Guhuoniao, gently hugged Qingshu-kun and let him cry in his arms. Toba gently comforted him. Regardless of those strange features, she really looks like a gentle and beautiful mother .
Mr. Qingshu carefully grasped the hem of Xia Huoniao's clothes, gradually stopped his fake crying, and looked up at Xia Huoniao.
Such a reaction made Xia Huoniao startled.
In fact, no matter what she said, Xia Huoniao couldn't deceive herself. The children she met and adopted were not her own children.Moreover, those adopted children were not actually raised by her, because her appearance would still make those children cry and call monsters.
For the adopted, abandoned, or separated children, she finally tried her best to find a suitable family and send them there quietly. She would only leave after confirming that the children would not be treated harshly.For the first time, a child in her arms did not cry louder, resisting her approach.
"Good boy, good boy." Xia Huoniao bent his eyes, responding with comforting words, showing even more gentle motherhood.
Xia Huoniao is indeed the embodiment of a dead pregnant woman's obsession with her child. It really makes Qingshu Jun see the figure of his mother Yuko and his mother in the previous life in a blink of an eye.
Nostalgia is just for a moment, what is more important now is another thing.But before Mr. Qingshu said, Xia Huoniao asked him first.
"Little lord of the manor at the foot of the mountain, I am very grateful to you for letting me feel the feeling of being a mother for a moment, but why did you lure me out? Another child who I did not abduct from the manor." Faded Xiahuoniao, who has a filthy evil spirit, is more rational than Guhuoniao.Similarly, she would divide her seductive self into another self. Obviously, if it weren't for the accumulated resentment, she would not really want to do this as a woman who was condensed by her obsession.
Mr. Qingshu was a little surprised that she recognized him. "do you know me?"
"Of course, wherever I go, I like to steal some of the head of the family's nails and come back to watch humans. This is the first time I have seen a child be the head of the house, so I am deeply impressed." Worn and a half-curved nail was pulled out from the placket of his clothes.
Small and clean nails, obviously cut by a delicate child.
"Unexpectedly, have you still kept it?" Mr. Qingshu was a little surprised. It has been six or seven days since he finished cutting his nails. Could it be that Xia Huoniao still has a hobby of collecting nails? !
Xia Huoniao didn't respond, but just put the nail in his little hand.After a while, he nodded. "It is indeed yours, there is nothing wrong with it."
"Is there something wrong with my nails?" Mr. Qingshu carefully looked at the nails he cut for a while, but unfortunately he didn't have the ability of Xiahuo, so he couldn't see the good and bad.
The expression on Xia Huoniao's face was also a little confused. "Yes, I have never seen such a fortune. Generally speaking, the fingers of a human being are connected to the heart, and the nails can also reflect a person's fortune. Some monsters can temporarily see the human being through these cut nails. luck after that."
"Because the nails are separated from the human body, they can only reflect the current or upcoming fortunes. Good luck or bad luck. This is the first time I have seen nails where bad luck and good luck appear alternately in a few days."
Alternate good luck and bad luck...
Qingshu-kun pinched the nails in his hand and sighed silently.Aren't these days alternating between good luck and bad luck?The shrine was built, but the property was short of money. It was discovered that sweet potatoes were used to make caramel.
Life made him wish for a leisurely life, he saw hope at once, and hit him again at once.Most of this kind of blow comes from the system, so he didn't do anything wrong in his previous life, why did he bring this broken system to the Heian era?You have to come by yourself.
"Well, it's probably because my fate is so strange."
Because bad luck and good luck are always alternating, Xiahuo Bird doesn't know whether to go to the eaves to warn of the coming of bad luck, so he stays near the manor, and thus saves Shui Ye's life.
"Actually, I came here this time for the child you saved."
Thinking of the boy rescued in the valley, Xia Huo's eyes darkened.
"Ah, that child, is it the child in your manor?"
"Yes, water is also the child of the village people in my territory."
"Then why didn't his parents come to ask me for it themselves!" Xiahuo Niao rushed forward, and somehow touched something. Gu Huo Niao's bloodthirsty burst out suddenly, with scarlet pupils and black head Some ferocious. "Those humans don't want to face the terrible monsters by themselves, so they have already chosen to give up that child, haven't they?!"
Although Gu Huo Niao did not appear in front of everyone due to the presence of the white fox, the expressions of the villagers could clearly see that monsters are most sensitive to the malice of humans.Indeed, as she said, when they heard that the monster took Shui Ye away, the villagers already felt a little bit about giving up.
I'm afraid that after Mr. Qingshu returns, he can build a clothes mound for the child.
"I'm not begging for that child because of his parents. I also know that even if we don't care, you will find a good home for him." Qingshu Jun raised his hand and attached him her wings.
Guhuo Bird's scarlet eyes flickered, and she shed her demonic aura that was ready to wrap around Qingshu Jun, revealing warm orange pupils. "I'm sorry, boy, every time something like this happens to us, we can't help ourselves."
Qingshu-kun shook the hand that touched the girl, directly touching the evil spirit, and the cold feeling spread from that hand to his body, making him shiver uncontrollably.
"I want you to know that I am not here to replace the parents who are about to give up the child. The water also came to the mountain alone to present me with beautiful flowers. The reason is me. In addition, although he is still young, it is also me. Villagers in the territory, so I am coming."
Xia Huoniao squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the child in front of him. No, he didn't act like a child at all.Although Xia Huoniao has no children of his own, he took and sent away so many children during his wanderings across the country.Whether it is older or younger than Qingshu-kun, none of them have the calmness, wisdom, and tolerance he has shown.
This made Xia Huo Niao, who has a strong maternal instinct, feel curious for the first time.
"Is that so? That's right...Although the child doesn't have a good pair of parents, he does have a good master. It's not unfortunate."
After all, a gust of wind blew up the dead leaves and gray stones in the woods, and when the wind stopped, Mr. Qingshu no longer had the figure of Xiahuo bird in front of his eyes.The banshee seemed to go to save other children again.
"Lord Lord!"
"You stupid!!"
The voices of Kai Teng-kun and Baihu came from each other, and they got closer and closer, until they ran in front of Qingshu-kun, and he was relieved to see that he was not harmed except for a few leaves that fell off his body.
"Little master." Xing fell behind Kai Teng-kun and White Fox God Envoy because she was wearing clothes that were not convenient for running.
Mr. Qingshu patted the dust and fallen leaves on his clothes, smiling helplessly. "Ah, you are here. The bird seems to have gone away, and the water must have been taken away, too."
"No, Gu Huo Niao left directly. There is still her demon power in the cave behind, and it hasn't dissipated. It should be to protect the child." The white fox curled his lips and replied.
"I'm going to bring that child back right now." Kai Teng-kun didn't need Qing Shu's entrustment, and took the initiative to go to the direction the angel said, looking for caves and water.
As soon as Hai Teng-kun left, the white fox began to reprimand him.
"Really, you're just a brat without any spiritual power, yet you dare to touch monsters directly and get tainted with yin and monster aura. If Gu Huo Niao is not conscious, do you want to contract bad luck and die of illness?!"
The topic of illness and death touched Xing's nerves. She clenched her hands tightly, frowned and said, "Although it's offensive to say this, I must speak out at Miss Yuko's request. If you take another risk next time If there is something wrong, I will write to General Lai Xin to take you back to Heianjing, where you can live a safe life as an official."
This is really...
"Yes, yes." Qingshu-kun seemed to answer perfunctorily, but in fact, the feeling of coldness that touched the little hand of Gu Huo Niao made him take the risk to do it again, he would not be so stupid.
He and monsters really don't match each other.
After thinking about it, Qingshu-kun suddenly shuddered, and his complexion became much paler, without the healthy rosiness of the past.
"God envoy..." Mr. Qingshu didn't have aura, so naturally he couldn't see it. After the faint yin energy invaded his body, it merged into his flesh and blood, making his body weak.
The white fox can't help it either. Divine power is also gifted by Inari God, and he can drive it, but it cannot be gifted to others.Just after talking about contracting a disease due to Yin Qi, he really contracted the disease. Is he still a crow's mouth? !
"The yin qi infected is not heavy, and it will be weak for a while, but there is no onmyoji stationed in this place, and the witches who come to our office are not very capable without clean water. Drink more warming soup these days. "
After Qingshu-jun's face turned pale, Xing stepped forward and hugged him. Fortunately, Qingshu-jun hadn't taken off clothes yet, otherwise it might affect Xing's future marriage leave.
"I'll lead the lord down the mountain now, please speak to Hai Teng-kun." Xing and the envoy finished speaking, and carried Qing Shu-kun to the road down the mountain.
Baihu smacked his lips. Fortunately, he has no temper. During this period of time, the girl Xing also provided him with fried tofu every day. Otherwise, if he dared to drive the gods to make such a thing, it would be fatal to others.
The White Fox God Envoy didn't wait too long, and saw Hai Teng-kun came back with a red child with crying eyes.The child was still holding an orchid in his hand. After many twists and turns, he still kept his fresh and tender appearance. It must be attributed to the maintenance of the evil spirit left by the girl on the flower.
"Yo, kid, you're finally back."
Kaito-kun looked around, but he was a little confused when he couldn't find Haruki-kun and Xing. "My lord envoy, what about my lord?"
"Overestimating one's strength, contaminated with Yin Qi, and Yin Qi consumed the body, and was taken back by that girl first. I will stay and tell you, then I will go first."
After finishing speaking, the white fox turned around and disappeared in front of the two of them.
As for the consequences of being entangled with Yin Qi, Koichiro, who was an ordinary civilian before, of course understood the consequences, so he grabbed the boy's hand tightly.He was so relaxed that he forgot about it.At that time, the lord should be sent down the mountain directly.
"Uncle Yilang, is it because of me that something happened to the lord?" Shui was also a little uneasy, all because he wanted to pick this orchid in the empty valley on his own.
As fellow villagers, Koichiro and Mizu are naturally acquainted. Although the lord's current health damage is indeed due to Mizuya, but this matter cannot be blamed on the child just like that.
"The only thing that Shui did wrong was that one person went to the dangerous mountain. The lord was infected with Yin Qi because of the monster, and it has nothing to do with you. Let's not talk about this, Shui Ye, let's go back as soon as possible, I'm going to see The situation of the lord."
"Hmm." Apart from crying when facing the monster, Shui also knew what to do at this time, and hurried down the mountain as much as possible not to cause trouble for Kai Teng-kun along the way.
It stands to reason that Kai Teng-kun's pace can catch up with the burdened Xing, but Xing met Fujido-kun and others who came after hearing the news on the way. Arrived at the manor as quickly as possible.
After the maids quickly laid out the bedding, Mr. Qingshu was placed in the dormitory. As soon as he lay on the bedding, Mr. Qingshu asked Xingfu to come over and whispered something.Xing nodded in response, and then instructed the maids to lower the layers of white curtains and cover up the barriers.
The maids did all this puzzledly. This is something only people who are seriously ill can't see. Why did the lord find a commoner's child and come back seriously ill?
Their doubts didn't last long, and they saw a servant waiting outside the door come in to deliver a message.
Covered by heavy barriers and curtains, the attendant could only report to Xing in front of the door.
"Miss Xing, the witch heard that the lord is back, so she must come here."
Xing heard the words, looked at Mr. Qingshu lying behind the curtain, and knew what to do as soon as he rolled his eyes.
"The lord is tainted with Guhuo Niao's Yin Qi in the back mountain, so it's inconvenient to meet guests. If she asks, don't need to say anything, just reveal to her the current appearance of the room vaguely."
"Yes."
Those who can be arranged by Xing to wait at the gate of the courtyard are of course people with a bit of ghosts and elves.Not only what Xing told him, but he also added a little more information to the witch.
"It's great that Miko came at the right time." The attendant said excitedly.
"What's the matter?" Seeing the attendant come back, the witch who was about to step into the courtyard stopped and asked with a frown.
The attendant couldn't hide the joy on his face. "My lord was infected with yin energy from the monsters in the back mountain, and the yin energy entered his body. My master's physique has not been very good since he was born. This time, even though he was only infected with a little bit of yin energy, he became seriously ill. "
After all, he turned sideways to guide the maiden in, and said again. "When I went in, the curtain and the shoji door were lowered. The Miko-sama didn't come at the right time. With the Miko-sama here, I will definitely help the lord get rid of the bad luck."
The Miko paused, and stood where she was, wondering what she was thinking.
"I, I suddenly remembered that the construction of the Inari Shrine is still a little undecided. The matters of the Inari Shrine are more important. I have already consulted the gods. I can't delay the matter. It's just a little cloudy. Except for illness, take good care of it There will be no problem, I will arrange the shrine first, and tell Lord Genji, please don't worry about the shrine, I will arrange it."
After saying that, Miko Yoko turned and left.
Just kidding, Yin Qi likes to hang around children with more Yang Qi, and prefers people with spiritual power. She hasn't learned how to cure Yin Qi, so how could she risk it.
The attendant watched Yoko Miko leave, although she didn't show it on the face, she still spat in her heart.
Although he knew that most aristocratic clans had this kind of face, but he followed Haruki-kun from Heian-kyo to Tottori all the time, and compared with the head of a family, he always looked down on these people in his heart.
Of course, he didn't dare to show it like this and offend the noble ladies of the clan, not to mention that the fledgling lords can't protect them, and they can't cause trouble for Qingshu-kun.
Using this method to send away unwelcome guests also deceived other people in the manor. Honda-kun and Yamaguchi-kun heard that Haruki-kun put down the curtains and shoji in the courtyard, and refused to meet Yoko Miko. Going up the mountain is really dangerous.
When the two returned to their residence, they both wrote letters to the Patriarch of Heiankyo. However, Taro Yamaguchi hesitated for a while when writing the letter, and found an opportunity to find Todo-kun the next day.
"Master Genji is seriously ill?" Fujido, as the samurai army directly under Genji's father, did not walk around the manor too casually before the samurai mansion was built.Hearing what Taro Yamaguchi said, he also knew that there was news that the lord was seriously ill in the manor.
"No, wait..." Todo-kun rubbed his chin, recalling Haruki-kun's appearance yesterday.It is possible to be pale and not as rosy as before, but it is impossible to be seriously ill and unable to go to the ground.
When they picked up Mr. Qingshu and Xing on the mountainside yesterday, the young man still felt ashamed and struggled to get out of Xing's arms. When he saw them, his waist was still straight, how could he be seriously ill when he came back up.
It is also impossible for the onset of Yin Qi to be gradual.
"You said, young master, he refused to meet Yoko Miko because of his serious illness?" Fujido-kun is quite smart enough to be able to sit in the position of a trustworthy confidant.After thinking about it for a while, I understood something. "Young master, this is to pick up the plane and stop contacting the Yoko Miko. Also tell the Miko not to bother him."
For the blood-licking warriors, the respect for witches is far less than that of ordinary nobles and commoners. Guessing what the purpose of Haruki-kun's behavior is, they are not as angry as those clans, but a little appreciative.
"So, I'm pretending to be sick..." Taro Yamaguchi thought about it, and he also felt that it was true. How could such a precocious young man let himself take such a big risk and get seriously ill directly.
Therefore, the letter from Mr. Yamaguchi was not sent immediately. However, Mr. Honda, who has no other compatriots in the manor, sent the message that Mr. Haruki was infected with Yin Qi and was seriously ill in bed, so he sent it to Heiankyo Fujiwara Home.
"However, it's too risky to taint your body in order to avoid the shrine maiden." Fujido-kun said.
However, he appreciates it, the young master's appearance is very similar to General Lai Xin, who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, decisive and ruthless.
It's a pity that Qingshu-kun is not as good as Todo-kun thought. He went to touch Guhuo bird, firstly to calm down Guhuo bird, and secondly because of curiosity.
Although he has encountered three things involving monsters, this is the first time he has seen monsters.
In his previous life, he had only seen monsters edited by humans in calligraphy and painting, and on TV, so he couldn't suppress his curiosity. He wanted to feel what kind of monster aura was, but his senses were not good.
Here, Qingshu-kun said he was sick and refused to see people. With the map of Cairo, the opening of the Inari Shrine and the construction of the shrine, he can rest assured that Yoko and others will not dare to make small moves, not to mention the presence of the white fox god.
Although Yoko is arrogant, she really does not dare to be sloppy with the affairs of the shrine. Her visit this time is also a test and evaluation of her by the head priestess of the shrine. She dare not offend Inari alone.Nobles fear and fear the gods more than others, but have little faith in the gods.
today.It's time to start the God Festival.Mr. Qingshu was lying on the mattress, looking sideways at the clear sky outside the veil, but paying attention to the movement on the small map of Cairo.
On the small map, the pixel villain in the priestess costume is holding something and shaking left and right in place.The performance of the Cairo system is very simple. Mr. Qingshu guessed for a while before realizing that this should be a Kagura dance.
Crowded behind are a group of villagers, watching the ceremony before the construction of the shrine.
"Kagura dance... I haven't watched it before." Haruki-kun said with some emotion while propping his head.
In the past few years, because of Yuko's mother's serious illness, Kamiji often came back without insisting on seeing Kagura Mai.Or, at that time, Haruki-kun, who didn't know that ghosts and gods really existed, only thought about how to rest and save energy so as not to starve, and really didn't care about Kagura Mai.
"You want to watch that guy dance the Kagura dance?" The White Fox God Envoy lay beside him, pouted and sneered.
"No, I just lament that I haven't watched it carefully. I heard that the maiden dancing the kagura dance to pray for blessings can divert the gods or the blessings of the gods." Mr. Qingshu recalled the few memories about the gods in his mind, but he really didn't find any gods appear.
The white fox alternated its paws and placed them under its head again.
"Don't think about it anymore, most of the gods are very stingy. The main god worshiped in Heianjing is not Inari God, and it is impossible for Mitsu-sama to surpass his father and give blessings to mankind at the god sacrifice."
After all, you opened your eyes and looked at Qingshu Jun and said: "However, the number of blessings given by Master Yujiajin is also less, because people believe in her noble clan, and human beings have less faith in her. It is really greedy, because Yujiajin Master Jin’s blessing was good, but in the end, it didn’t return much faith to him. If you want to see the descending of the gods..."
"Little ghost, try to build a territory that won't disappoint the Great God. In this way, the generous Great God will bless your territory. The god sacrifice is almost over, I should go and see it."
After the white fox finished speaking, he passed through the veils and disappeared from Mr. Qingshu's sight.
"Building a territory that won't disappoint Inari God, this is really not an easy thing."
Qingshu-kun showed a wry smile, looked at the few more tasks in the task list, and sighed.You know, it is very difficult for him to build a territory now.
Here, the opening of the Tottori Shrine is in full swing, and the Heiankyo Fujiwara family is in full swing.When Fujiwara Michitaka was receiving guests, he received a letter from Tottori that was urgently delivered to him.
Looking at the urgent dark lines printed on the letter, Michitaka Fujiwara frowned in embarrassment.
"Master Fujiwara, since it is an important letter, you should check it first." Said Abe Seimei, Fujiwara Michitaka's distinguished guest, an onmyoji who is now highly valued in front of the emperor.
He raised the teacup in his hand. "Master Fujiwara's tea here has a lingering flavor, I want to savor it for a while."
Fujiwara Michitaka smiled apologetically at Seimei Abe, and at the same time thought in his heart: This person deserves to be able to overwhelm all the onmyojis, big and small, in Onmyouliao, and become the person most trusted and trusted by the emperor. This kind of bearing is beyond the reach of most people of.
Michitaka Fujiwara unfolded the letter from Tottori, quickly flipped through the contents of the letter, and slammed the case in horror.
No wonder he reacted so strongly, among his sons and grandchildren.He is most optimistic about his grandson.It is not wrong to leave the power in his hands to the Fujiwara family after his death.
But after expanding the Fujiwara family to what it is today, why is he willing to leave all his power to his younger brother who is not very harmonious with him?Even if they are brothers, they are outsiders seriously, after all, they were not born from the same mother.What's more, he recently felt more and more physically powerless.
Haruki-kun is different. Although he is Lai Xin's son, the marriage between Lai Xin and Yuko can be said to have ended long ago.He is different from himself, although he has a good relationship with his first brother Laiguang, but he cannot succeed the Patriarch of Genji.
Qingshu-kun officially changed his name to Fujiwara Haruki. Under his operation, it is not impossible.Lai Xin is also very optimistic about that child, maybe the military power in his hands will also be given to that child Qingshu in the future.
Let Haruki-kun go to Tottori now, just to keep Haruki-kun from being stared at by those who are looking at him inside.With Qingshu-kun's intelligence, it is not a problem to teach a few years late.
Now, his favored successor will die before him? !This will not work! !
"Ahem..." Momentarily anxious, Michitaka Fujiwara couldn't help coughing, feeling a little unwell.
"What's wrong with Mr. Fujiwara?!" Abe Seimei looked at him in surprise.
Fujiwara Michitaka took a few deep breaths, a little wondering whether he should tell his family affairs.
He didn't say it, but Abe Seimei would figure it out by himself.It can be said that it was settled long ago, that's why I came to Fujiwara's house as a guest today.
"It's your grandson in Tottori, did something happen to Genji?"
Fujiwara Michi widened his eyes and nodded slightly. "Yes... Dr. Abe, how do you..."
"Actually..." Seimei Abe put away the cypress fan and explained the reason. "When I was doing fortune-telling in the direction of Tottori this morning, I figured out that Tottori needed my help. And the cause of this incident was at Mr. Fujiwara's residence, so I came here."
"Yes, this matter, please be sure to ask Abe-kun!"
Only then did Fujiwara recall that the area near Tottori, at the foot of the Oe Mountains, has been somewhat unsettled recently, and several waves of onmyojis have returned. Abe Seimei asked himself to solve this matter.At that time, you can ask Mr. Abe to help remove the bad luck.
Fujiwara Michitaka and Abe Seimei slowly narrated the cause and current results of this incident.It's just a small matter of removing Yin Qi, Abe smiled lightly and nodded in agreement.
"The matter of Dajiangshan is not a troublesome matter for me. After finishing, I will go to Genji Manor. Please rest assured, Mr. Fujiwara. The last time I saw the face of Genji's young master, he will not be someone who died so early. .”
what about me?
Fujiwara Michitaka really wanted to ask this sentence, but when he met Abe Seimei's slender eyes with a sly smile, he stopped the question he wanted to say.
After Fujiwara Michitaka finished talking about the matter, Abe Seimei got up and proposed to go back.
It was probably the hidden meaning in Abe's gaze that touched Michitaka Fujiwara. He looked at the back of Abe-kun who had left the main courtyard for a long time, but he didn't come back to his senses.
Will he pass away anytime soon?Could it be that he himself still doesn't understand? !
Abe Seimei got into the family's ox cart, raised his eyes and looked at the Fujiwara mansion again.Shaking his head, he sighed lightly.
"What is Seimei-sama sighing?" A ghostly face suddenly appeared beside Abe Seimei. This is the shikigami who accompanied him today. Although Abe Seimei's strength does not need their protection at all, he cannot just let Seimei-sama alone. go out.
"I'm sighing, if the Fujiwara family has been ruled by Mr. Fujiwara, the Fujiwara family, Heianjing, probably won't decay so quickly. It's really... a pity."
With a sigh, he gave the answer to the question Fujiwara Michitaka didn't ask.
This also means that the half of the sky supporting Mr. Qingshu is already crumbling.
……
Haruki-kun doesn't know the art of yin and yang divination, and he is far away, and he doesn't have the ability to detect that there is something wrong with Fujiwara Michitaka's body. After the god sacrifice, the old god is still lying in his bedroom, eating and sleeping. Eat when you are full, look at the calligraphy and painting, and monitor the progress of the shrine's project through the small map of Cairo.
Yoko Miko was supposed to go back after the god sacrifice was over. After staying for two or three days, seeing Haruki-kun still not getting better, and not being able to meet Inari God's envoy through him, she had to leave Genji Manor in a fit of anger.
Sitting on the bullock cart and heading out of Tottori, Miko Yoko thought about it for a long time, and she always felt that she must have been deceived by that kid Genji.No matter how heavy the yin qi is, no matter how you put it, these days should be getting better.How could he still be seriously ill? !
In fact, Qingshu-kun never thought that he could always use this trick to deceive Yoko Miko, but, it seems, he thought this lady was smarter.
The more Yoko Miko thought about it, the more likely it seemed.As the attendant said, Genji Haruki has been unhealthy since he was born, and the yin qi that cannot get out of bed should have passed away immediately after being infected.
It's really... hateful Genji!
But a vulgar warrior was born...
The Genji clan is usually a clan with royal blood. However, the great-grandfather of the Qinghe Genji of the Minamoto Nakaman branch was the sixth prince of a weak and inconspicuous emperor. What will happen to his sons and their descendants.
It is precisely because of this that the Nakaman family clings to the Fujiwara family to climb to a high position, and among the clans, secretly belittles the Qinghe Genji family so much.I dare not say it on the bright side.Do you want to be rehabilitated by some excuse? !
After Yoko Miko walked for several days with anger, she heard the maid's report that some noble person seemed to be coming up ahead. Looking at the direction of the road, it looked like she was going to Tottori.
Go to Tottori, is there any small clan in Tottori?That person should get out of the car and meet her.
Yoko Miko didn't think about it for too long, and the maid came to report again.
"Looking at the family crest on the ox cart, it is Abe's family. The ox cart is also used by officials. From the ox cart, it is an official of the fourth rank."
Who else would be the official with the surname Abe of the fourth rank?Officially now in the court, Abe Seimei, the doctor of astronomy and Taoism who is trusted by the emperor and the royal family!
He is different from those noble girls who wear the aura of witches and don't have much ability. He is a person with real ability.
Yoko Miko didn't dare to think about anything at this time, the size of the clan, who should meet whom.If I offended this character, I'm afraid that I don't know how he died, and no one knows that it was this person who did it.
Yoko Miko got off the bullock cart early, showing a reserved and gentle smile, waiting for Abe Seimei's bullock cart to stop in front of her.
"So it's the maiden from the main shrine of Inari Shrine." Seimei Abe got off the bullock cart and saluted her from afar.
Seeing Seimei-kun's appearance and the perfect courtesy to her, Yoko Miko couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly returned the courtesy.It was rumored in the aristocratic circle that Abe Seimei was the child of the fox demon, and people couldn't help but be confused by him at first glance.
She didn't believe it at first. It seems that when the fox demon's child said it, she didn't know if it was true or not.
It has slender legs like a crane, a black-gray bird head, and wide black wings. The body is obviously a female body, wearing a lady's kimono soaked in blood.Every part of the body exudes a faint black demonic aura, plus the scarlet eyes in the black demonic aura, it is very strange.
In front of Qingshu-kun, the harpy exuding a dangerous aura is obviously not the image of Xia or Niao, who is predominately maternal, but the prototype of Guhuo Niao, who is more murderous.
At such a tense moment, Qingshu-kun had many thoughts in his mind. He looks like a child right now.He didn't think Gu Huo Niao had the ability to see through him as an adult in essence, not even Inari the Great God, let alone a monster transformed from resentment and obsession.
Gu Huo Niao tilted her head, as if she was also wondering about something.
Qingshu-kun is just an ordinary person, no matter how indifferent he is, he still reacts instinctively in the face of danger, his hands tremble slightly, and the red rope in his tightly clenched hands is sweaty.
By the way, red rope!
Qingshu-kun threw back the life-saving red rope given by the white fox without thinking about it. Monsters are sensitive to breath, not to mention that the guhuo bird, which was protecting the cubs, was even more vigilant as the white fox said just now.
Gu Huo Niao must have sensed the strong godly aura on him, so he hesitated to approach him, and even showed aggressiveness.
Sure enough, Mr. Qingshu threw away the red rope in his hand, and Guhuo Niao's puzzled expression was much reduced, and he hesitated to take a step in Mr. Qingshu's direction.
The smell of the white fox has not completely dissipated, so the guhuo bird still maintains its current appearance.
Qingshu-kun took a deep breath, let go of his sense of shame, sat down on the ground with a "plop", rubbed his eyes with his fleshy little hands, and grinned with his reserved little mouth, crying Howl.
"Wow..."
Not to mention Gu Huo Niao's reaction, Baihu, Xing and Kaiteng, who were far behind Qingshu-kun, who were ready to support at any time, were directly frightened by Qingshu-jun's different child appearance.
"Little master, are you crying?" Xing said hesitantly.
"Then... shall we go there?" Kaito-kun asked back.
"This..." Xing was also a little uncertain.It is not wrong to say that a 6-year-old child will cry when encountering such a situation, but the lord...
In this way, it is very contradictory, whether to go or not to go.
"This little brat, did you lose your face and start crying?" After all, the white fox didn't get along with Mr. Qingshu for too long, and he wasn't too frightened. He quickly realized that Mr. Qingshu was pretending to be a girl Look at the bird, but the pretending is really similar...
When Baihu said this, Xing and Kaito-kun also calmed down from the shock.Yes, it's just a pretense.
Qingshu-kun cried like this, the effect was really good, Gu Huo stepped on the bird, and came to Qingshu-kun's side, and the bird's feathers gently wrapped around Qingshu-kun.The moment before Toba came into contact with Haruki-kun, the yin and evil spirit faded away, revealing a beautiful color, orange-yellow gradient texture, black feather edge, which looks like the long sleeves of a luxurious kimono.
The evil spirit dissipated, and the weird bird head disappeared, and what reappeared was the appearance of a beautiful and gentle woman.Yellow-orange eye lines are outlined at the end of the eyes, and the scarlet eyes have also turned into warm yellow eye holes, but the abnormal vertical eyes are a little scary.
"Mom...here, here, don't cry, don't cry, my, my child." After not talking to anyone for a long time, Xiahuo Niao's speech was a little slow.
Xia Huoniao, transformed from Guhuoniao, gently hugged Qingshu-kun and let him cry in his arms. Toba gently comforted him. Regardless of those strange features, she really looks like a gentle and beautiful mother .
Mr. Qingshu carefully grasped the hem of Xia Huoniao's clothes, gradually stopped his fake crying, and looked up at Xia Huoniao.
Such a reaction made Xia Huoniao startled.
In fact, no matter what she said, Xia Huoniao couldn't deceive herself. The children she met and adopted were not her own children.Moreover, those adopted children were not actually raised by her, because her appearance would still make those children cry and call monsters.
For the adopted, abandoned, or separated children, she finally tried her best to find a suitable family and send them there quietly. She would only leave after confirming that the children would not be treated harshly.For the first time, a child in her arms did not cry louder, resisting her approach.
"Good boy, good boy." Xia Huoniao bent his eyes, responding with comforting words, showing even more gentle motherhood.
Xia Huoniao is indeed the embodiment of a dead pregnant woman's obsession with her child. It really makes Qingshu Jun see the figure of his mother Yuko and his mother in the previous life in a blink of an eye.
Nostalgia is just for a moment, what is more important now is another thing.But before Mr. Qingshu said, Xia Huoniao asked him first.
"Little lord of the manor at the foot of the mountain, I am very grateful to you for letting me feel the feeling of being a mother for a moment, but why did you lure me out? Another child who I did not abduct from the manor." Faded Xiahuoniao, who has a filthy evil spirit, is more rational than Guhuoniao.Similarly, she would divide her seductive self into another self. Obviously, if it weren't for the accumulated resentment, she would not really want to do this as a woman who was condensed by her obsession.
Mr. Qingshu was a little surprised that she recognized him. "do you know me?"
"Of course, wherever I go, I like to steal some of the head of the family's nails and come back to watch humans. This is the first time I have seen a child be the head of the house, so I am deeply impressed." Worn and a half-curved nail was pulled out from the placket of his clothes.
Small and clean nails, obviously cut by a delicate child.
"Unexpectedly, have you still kept it?" Mr. Qingshu was a little surprised. It has been six or seven days since he finished cutting his nails. Could it be that Xia Huoniao still has a hobby of collecting nails? !
Xia Huoniao didn't respond, but just put the nail in his little hand.After a while, he nodded. "It is indeed yours, there is nothing wrong with it."
"Is there something wrong with my nails?" Mr. Qingshu carefully looked at the nails he cut for a while, but unfortunately he didn't have the ability of Xiahuo, so he couldn't see the good and bad.
The expression on Xia Huoniao's face was also a little confused. "Yes, I have never seen such a fortune. Generally speaking, the fingers of a human being are connected to the heart, and the nails can also reflect a person's fortune. Some monsters can temporarily see the human being through these cut nails. luck after that."
"Because the nails are separated from the human body, they can only reflect the current or upcoming fortunes. Good luck or bad luck. This is the first time I have seen nails where bad luck and good luck appear alternately in a few days."
Alternate good luck and bad luck...
Qingshu-kun pinched the nails in his hand and sighed silently.Aren't these days alternating between good luck and bad luck?The shrine was built, but the property was short of money. It was discovered that sweet potatoes were used to make caramel.
Life made him wish for a leisurely life, he saw hope at once, and hit him again at once.Most of this kind of blow comes from the system, so he didn't do anything wrong in his previous life, why did he bring this broken system to the Heian era?You have to come by yourself.
"Well, it's probably because my fate is so strange."
Because bad luck and good luck are always alternating, Xiahuo Bird doesn't know whether to go to the eaves to warn of the coming of bad luck, so he stays near the manor, and thus saves Shui Ye's life.
"Actually, I came here this time for the child you saved."
Thinking of the boy rescued in the valley, Xia Huo's eyes darkened.
"Ah, that child, is it the child in your manor?"
"Yes, water is also the child of the village people in my territory."
"Then why didn't his parents come to ask me for it themselves!" Xiahuo Niao rushed forward, and somehow touched something. Gu Huo Niao's bloodthirsty burst out suddenly, with scarlet pupils and black head Some ferocious. "Those humans don't want to face the terrible monsters by themselves, so they have already chosen to give up that child, haven't they?!"
Although Gu Huo Niao did not appear in front of everyone due to the presence of the white fox, the expressions of the villagers could clearly see that monsters are most sensitive to the malice of humans.Indeed, as she said, when they heard that the monster took Shui Ye away, the villagers already felt a little bit about giving up.
I'm afraid that after Mr. Qingshu returns, he can build a clothes mound for the child.
"I'm not begging for that child because of his parents. I also know that even if we don't care, you will find a good home for him." Qingshu Jun raised his hand and attached him her wings.
Guhuo Bird's scarlet eyes flickered, and she shed her demonic aura that was ready to wrap around Qingshu Jun, revealing warm orange pupils. "I'm sorry, boy, every time something like this happens to us, we can't help ourselves."
Qingshu-kun shook the hand that touched the girl, directly touching the evil spirit, and the cold feeling spread from that hand to his body, making him shiver uncontrollably.
"I want you to know that I am not here to replace the parents who are about to give up the child. The water also came to the mountain alone to present me with beautiful flowers. The reason is me. In addition, although he is still young, it is also me. Villagers in the territory, so I am coming."
Xia Huoniao squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the child in front of him. No, he didn't act like a child at all.Although Xia Huoniao has no children of his own, he took and sent away so many children during his wanderings across the country.Whether it is older or younger than Qingshu-kun, none of them have the calmness, wisdom, and tolerance he has shown.
This made Xia Huo Niao, who has a strong maternal instinct, feel curious for the first time.
"Is that so? That's right...Although the child doesn't have a good pair of parents, he does have a good master. It's not unfortunate."
After all, a gust of wind blew up the dead leaves and gray stones in the woods, and when the wind stopped, Mr. Qingshu no longer had the figure of Xiahuo bird in front of his eyes.The banshee seemed to go to save other children again.
"Lord Lord!"
"You stupid!!"
The voices of Kai Teng-kun and Baihu came from each other, and they got closer and closer, until they ran in front of Qingshu-kun, and he was relieved to see that he was not harmed except for a few leaves that fell off his body.
"Little master." Xing fell behind Kai Teng-kun and White Fox God Envoy because she was wearing clothes that were not convenient for running.
Mr. Qingshu patted the dust and fallen leaves on his clothes, smiling helplessly. "Ah, you are here. The bird seems to have gone away, and the water must have been taken away, too."
"No, Gu Huo Niao left directly. There is still her demon power in the cave behind, and it hasn't dissipated. It should be to protect the child." The white fox curled his lips and replied.
"I'm going to bring that child back right now." Kai Teng-kun didn't need Qing Shu's entrustment, and took the initiative to go to the direction the angel said, looking for caves and water.
As soon as Hai Teng-kun left, the white fox began to reprimand him.
"Really, you're just a brat without any spiritual power, yet you dare to touch monsters directly and get tainted with yin and monster aura. If Gu Huo Niao is not conscious, do you want to contract bad luck and die of illness?!"
The topic of illness and death touched Xing's nerves. She clenched her hands tightly, frowned and said, "Although it's offensive to say this, I must speak out at Miss Yuko's request. If you take another risk next time If there is something wrong, I will write to General Lai Xin to take you back to Heianjing, where you can live a safe life as an official."
This is really...
"Yes, yes." Qingshu-kun seemed to answer perfunctorily, but in fact, the feeling of coldness that touched the little hand of Gu Huo Niao made him take the risk to do it again, he would not be so stupid.
He and monsters really don't match each other.
After thinking about it, Qingshu-kun suddenly shuddered, and his complexion became much paler, without the healthy rosiness of the past.
"God envoy..." Mr. Qingshu didn't have aura, so naturally he couldn't see it. After the faint yin energy invaded his body, it merged into his flesh and blood, making his body weak.
The white fox can't help it either. Divine power is also gifted by Inari God, and he can drive it, but it cannot be gifted to others.Just after talking about contracting a disease due to Yin Qi, he really contracted the disease. Is he still a crow's mouth? !
"The yin qi infected is not heavy, and it will be weak for a while, but there is no onmyoji stationed in this place, and the witches who come to our office are not very capable without clean water. Drink more warming soup these days. "
After Qingshu-jun's face turned pale, Xing stepped forward and hugged him. Fortunately, Qingshu-jun hadn't taken off clothes yet, otherwise it might affect Xing's future marriage leave.
"I'll lead the lord down the mountain now, please speak to Hai Teng-kun." Xing and the envoy finished speaking, and carried Qing Shu-kun to the road down the mountain.
Baihu smacked his lips. Fortunately, he has no temper. During this period of time, the girl Xing also provided him with fried tofu every day. Otherwise, if he dared to drive the gods to make such a thing, it would be fatal to others.
The White Fox God Envoy didn't wait too long, and saw Hai Teng-kun came back with a red child with crying eyes.The child was still holding an orchid in his hand. After many twists and turns, he still kept his fresh and tender appearance. It must be attributed to the maintenance of the evil spirit left by the girl on the flower.
"Yo, kid, you're finally back."
Kaito-kun looked around, but he was a little confused when he couldn't find Haruki-kun and Xing. "My lord envoy, what about my lord?"
"Overestimating one's strength, contaminated with Yin Qi, and Yin Qi consumed the body, and was taken back by that girl first. I will stay and tell you, then I will go first."
After finishing speaking, the white fox turned around and disappeared in front of the two of them.
As for the consequences of being entangled with Yin Qi, Koichiro, who was an ordinary civilian before, of course understood the consequences, so he grabbed the boy's hand tightly.He was so relaxed that he forgot about it.At that time, the lord should be sent down the mountain directly.
"Uncle Yilang, is it because of me that something happened to the lord?" Shui was also a little uneasy, all because he wanted to pick this orchid in the empty valley on his own.
As fellow villagers, Koichiro and Mizu are naturally acquainted. Although the lord's current health damage is indeed due to Mizuya, but this matter cannot be blamed on the child just like that.
"The only thing that Shui did wrong was that one person went to the dangerous mountain. The lord was infected with Yin Qi because of the monster, and it has nothing to do with you. Let's not talk about this, Shui Ye, let's go back as soon as possible, I'm going to see The situation of the lord."
"Hmm." Apart from crying when facing the monster, Shui also knew what to do at this time, and hurried down the mountain as much as possible not to cause trouble for Kai Teng-kun along the way.
It stands to reason that Kai Teng-kun's pace can catch up with the burdened Xing, but Xing met Fujido-kun and others who came after hearing the news on the way. Arrived at the manor as quickly as possible.
After the maids quickly laid out the bedding, Mr. Qingshu was placed in the dormitory. As soon as he lay on the bedding, Mr. Qingshu asked Xingfu to come over and whispered something.Xing nodded in response, and then instructed the maids to lower the layers of white curtains and cover up the barriers.
The maids did all this puzzledly. This is something only people who are seriously ill can't see. Why did the lord find a commoner's child and come back seriously ill?
Their doubts didn't last long, and they saw a servant waiting outside the door come in to deliver a message.
Covered by heavy barriers and curtains, the attendant could only report to Xing in front of the door.
"Miss Xing, the witch heard that the lord is back, so she must come here."
Xing heard the words, looked at Mr. Qingshu lying behind the curtain, and knew what to do as soon as he rolled his eyes.
"The lord is tainted with Guhuo Niao's Yin Qi in the back mountain, so it's inconvenient to meet guests. If she asks, don't need to say anything, just reveal to her the current appearance of the room vaguely."
"Yes."
Those who can be arranged by Xing to wait at the gate of the courtyard are of course people with a bit of ghosts and elves.Not only what Xing told him, but he also added a little more information to the witch.
"It's great that Miko came at the right time." The attendant said excitedly.
"What's the matter?" Seeing the attendant come back, the witch who was about to step into the courtyard stopped and asked with a frown.
The attendant couldn't hide the joy on his face. "My lord was infected with yin energy from the monsters in the back mountain, and the yin energy entered his body. My master's physique has not been very good since he was born. This time, even though he was only infected with a little bit of yin energy, he became seriously ill. "
After all, he turned sideways to guide the maiden in, and said again. "When I went in, the curtain and the shoji door were lowered. The Miko-sama didn't come at the right time. With the Miko-sama here, I will definitely help the lord get rid of the bad luck."
The Miko paused, and stood where she was, wondering what she was thinking.
"I, I suddenly remembered that the construction of the Inari Shrine is still a little undecided. The matters of the Inari Shrine are more important. I have already consulted the gods. I can't delay the matter. It's just a little cloudy. Except for illness, take good care of it There will be no problem, I will arrange the shrine first, and tell Lord Genji, please don't worry about the shrine, I will arrange it."
After saying that, Miko Yoko turned and left.
Just kidding, Yin Qi likes to hang around children with more Yang Qi, and prefers people with spiritual power. She hasn't learned how to cure Yin Qi, so how could she risk it.
The attendant watched Yoko Miko leave, although she didn't show it on the face, she still spat in her heart.
Although he knew that most aristocratic clans had this kind of face, but he followed Haruki-kun from Heian-kyo to Tottori all the time, and compared with the head of a family, he always looked down on these people in his heart.
Of course, he didn't dare to show it like this and offend the noble ladies of the clan, not to mention that the fledgling lords can't protect them, and they can't cause trouble for Qingshu-kun.
Using this method to send away unwelcome guests also deceived other people in the manor. Honda-kun and Yamaguchi-kun heard that Haruki-kun put down the curtains and shoji in the courtyard, and refused to meet Yoko Miko. Going up the mountain is really dangerous.
When the two returned to their residence, they both wrote letters to the Patriarch of Heiankyo. However, Taro Yamaguchi hesitated for a while when writing the letter, and found an opportunity to find Todo-kun the next day.
"Master Genji is seriously ill?" Fujido, as the samurai army directly under Genji's father, did not walk around the manor too casually before the samurai mansion was built.Hearing what Taro Yamaguchi said, he also knew that there was news that the lord was seriously ill in the manor.
"No, wait..." Todo-kun rubbed his chin, recalling Haruki-kun's appearance yesterday.It is possible to be pale and not as rosy as before, but it is impossible to be seriously ill and unable to go to the ground.
When they picked up Mr. Qingshu and Xing on the mountainside yesterday, the young man still felt ashamed and struggled to get out of Xing's arms. When he saw them, his waist was still straight, how could he be seriously ill when he came back up.
It is also impossible for the onset of Yin Qi to be gradual.
"You said, young master, he refused to meet Yoko Miko because of his serious illness?" Fujido-kun is quite smart enough to be able to sit in the position of a trustworthy confidant.After thinking about it for a while, I understood something. "Young master, this is to pick up the plane and stop contacting the Yoko Miko. Also tell the Miko not to bother him."
For the blood-licking warriors, the respect for witches is far less than that of ordinary nobles and commoners. Guessing what the purpose of Haruki-kun's behavior is, they are not as angry as those clans, but a little appreciative.
"So, I'm pretending to be sick..." Taro Yamaguchi thought about it, and he also felt that it was true. How could such a precocious young man let himself take such a big risk and get seriously ill directly.
Therefore, the letter from Mr. Yamaguchi was not sent immediately. However, Mr. Honda, who has no other compatriots in the manor, sent the message that Mr. Haruki was infected with Yin Qi and was seriously ill in bed, so he sent it to Heiankyo Fujiwara Home.
"However, it's too risky to taint your body in order to avoid the shrine maiden." Fujido-kun said.
However, he appreciates it, the young master's appearance is very similar to General Lai Xin, who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, decisive and ruthless.
It's a pity that Qingshu-kun is not as good as Todo-kun thought. He went to touch Guhuo bird, firstly to calm down Guhuo bird, and secondly because of curiosity.
Although he has encountered three things involving monsters, this is the first time he has seen monsters.
In his previous life, he had only seen monsters edited by humans in calligraphy and painting, and on TV, so he couldn't suppress his curiosity. He wanted to feel what kind of monster aura was, but his senses were not good.
Here, Qingshu-kun said he was sick and refused to see people. With the map of Cairo, the opening of the Inari Shrine and the construction of the shrine, he can rest assured that Yoko and others will not dare to make small moves, not to mention the presence of the white fox god.
Although Yoko is arrogant, she really does not dare to be sloppy with the affairs of the shrine. Her visit this time is also a test and evaluation of her by the head priestess of the shrine. She dare not offend Inari alone.Nobles fear and fear the gods more than others, but have little faith in the gods.
today.It's time to start the God Festival.Mr. Qingshu was lying on the mattress, looking sideways at the clear sky outside the veil, but paying attention to the movement on the small map of Cairo.
On the small map, the pixel villain in the priestess costume is holding something and shaking left and right in place.The performance of the Cairo system is very simple. Mr. Qingshu guessed for a while before realizing that this should be a Kagura dance.
Crowded behind are a group of villagers, watching the ceremony before the construction of the shrine.
"Kagura dance... I haven't watched it before." Haruki-kun said with some emotion while propping his head.
In the past few years, because of Yuko's mother's serious illness, Kamiji often came back without insisting on seeing Kagura Mai.Or, at that time, Haruki-kun, who didn't know that ghosts and gods really existed, only thought about how to rest and save energy so as not to starve, and really didn't care about Kagura Mai.
"You want to watch that guy dance the Kagura dance?" The White Fox God Envoy lay beside him, pouted and sneered.
"No, I just lament that I haven't watched it carefully. I heard that the maiden dancing the kagura dance to pray for blessings can divert the gods or the blessings of the gods." Mr. Qingshu recalled the few memories about the gods in his mind, but he really didn't find any gods appear.
The white fox alternated its paws and placed them under its head again.
"Don't think about it anymore, most of the gods are very stingy. The main god worshiped in Heianjing is not Inari God, and it is impossible for Mitsu-sama to surpass his father and give blessings to mankind at the god sacrifice."
After all, you opened your eyes and looked at Qingshu Jun and said: "However, the number of blessings given by Master Yujiajin is also less, because people believe in her noble clan, and human beings have less faith in her. It is really greedy, because Yujiajin Master Jin’s blessing was good, but in the end, it didn’t return much faith to him. If you want to see the descending of the gods..."
"Little ghost, try to build a territory that won't disappoint the Great God. In this way, the generous Great God will bless your territory. The god sacrifice is almost over, I should go and see it."
After the white fox finished speaking, he passed through the veils and disappeared from Mr. Qingshu's sight.
"Building a territory that won't disappoint Inari God, this is really not an easy thing."
Qingshu-kun showed a wry smile, looked at the few more tasks in the task list, and sighed.You know, it is very difficult for him to build a territory now.
Here, the opening of the Tottori Shrine is in full swing, and the Heiankyo Fujiwara family is in full swing.When Fujiwara Michitaka was receiving guests, he received a letter from Tottori that was urgently delivered to him.
Looking at the urgent dark lines printed on the letter, Michitaka Fujiwara frowned in embarrassment.
"Master Fujiwara, since it is an important letter, you should check it first." Said Abe Seimei, Fujiwara Michitaka's distinguished guest, an onmyoji who is now highly valued in front of the emperor.
He raised the teacup in his hand. "Master Fujiwara's tea here has a lingering flavor, I want to savor it for a while."
Fujiwara Michitaka smiled apologetically at Seimei Abe, and at the same time thought in his heart: This person deserves to be able to overwhelm all the onmyojis, big and small, in Onmyouliao, and become the person most trusted and trusted by the emperor. This kind of bearing is beyond the reach of most people of.
Michitaka Fujiwara unfolded the letter from Tottori, quickly flipped through the contents of the letter, and slammed the case in horror.
No wonder he reacted so strongly, among his sons and grandchildren.He is most optimistic about his grandson.It is not wrong to leave the power in his hands to the Fujiwara family after his death.
But after expanding the Fujiwara family to what it is today, why is he willing to leave all his power to his younger brother who is not very harmonious with him?Even if they are brothers, they are outsiders seriously, after all, they were not born from the same mother.What's more, he recently felt more and more physically powerless.
Haruki-kun is different. Although he is Lai Xin's son, the marriage between Lai Xin and Yuko can be said to have ended long ago.He is different from himself, although he has a good relationship with his first brother Laiguang, but he cannot succeed the Patriarch of Genji.
Qingshu-kun officially changed his name to Fujiwara Haruki. Under his operation, it is not impossible.Lai Xin is also very optimistic about that child, maybe the military power in his hands will also be given to that child Qingshu in the future.
Let Haruki-kun go to Tottori now, just to keep Haruki-kun from being stared at by those who are looking at him inside.With Qingshu-kun's intelligence, it is not a problem to teach a few years late.
Now, his favored successor will die before him? !This will not work! !
"Ahem..." Momentarily anxious, Michitaka Fujiwara couldn't help coughing, feeling a little unwell.
"What's wrong with Mr. Fujiwara?!" Abe Seimei looked at him in surprise.
Fujiwara Michitaka took a few deep breaths, a little wondering whether he should tell his family affairs.
He didn't say it, but Abe Seimei would figure it out by himself.It can be said that it was settled long ago, that's why I came to Fujiwara's house as a guest today.
"It's your grandson in Tottori, did something happen to Genji?"
Fujiwara Michi widened his eyes and nodded slightly. "Yes... Dr. Abe, how do you..."
"Actually..." Seimei Abe put away the cypress fan and explained the reason. "When I was doing fortune-telling in the direction of Tottori this morning, I figured out that Tottori needed my help. And the cause of this incident was at Mr. Fujiwara's residence, so I came here."
"Yes, this matter, please be sure to ask Abe-kun!"
Only then did Fujiwara recall that the area near Tottori, at the foot of the Oe Mountains, has been somewhat unsettled recently, and several waves of onmyojis have returned. Abe Seimei asked himself to solve this matter.At that time, you can ask Mr. Abe to help remove the bad luck.
Fujiwara Michitaka and Abe Seimei slowly narrated the cause and current results of this incident.It's just a small matter of removing Yin Qi, Abe smiled lightly and nodded in agreement.
"The matter of Dajiangshan is not a troublesome matter for me. After finishing, I will go to Genji Manor. Please rest assured, Mr. Fujiwara. The last time I saw the face of Genji's young master, he will not be someone who died so early. .”
what about me?
Fujiwara Michitaka really wanted to ask this sentence, but when he met Abe Seimei's slender eyes with a sly smile, he stopped the question he wanted to say.
After Fujiwara Michitaka finished talking about the matter, Abe Seimei got up and proposed to go back.
It was probably the hidden meaning in Abe's gaze that touched Michitaka Fujiwara. He looked at the back of Abe-kun who had left the main courtyard for a long time, but he didn't come back to his senses.
Will he pass away anytime soon?Could it be that he himself still doesn't understand? !
Abe Seimei got into the family's ox cart, raised his eyes and looked at the Fujiwara mansion again.Shaking his head, he sighed lightly.
"What is Seimei-sama sighing?" A ghostly face suddenly appeared beside Abe Seimei. This is the shikigami who accompanied him today. Although Abe Seimei's strength does not need their protection at all, he cannot just let Seimei-sama alone. go out.
"I'm sighing, if the Fujiwara family has been ruled by Mr. Fujiwara, the Fujiwara family, Heianjing, probably won't decay so quickly. It's really... a pity."
With a sigh, he gave the answer to the question Fujiwara Michitaka didn't ask.
This also means that the half of the sky supporting Mr. Qingshu is already crumbling.
……
Haruki-kun doesn't know the art of yin and yang divination, and he is far away, and he doesn't have the ability to detect that there is something wrong with Fujiwara Michitaka's body. After the god sacrifice, the old god is still lying in his bedroom, eating and sleeping. Eat when you are full, look at the calligraphy and painting, and monitor the progress of the shrine's project through the small map of Cairo.
Yoko Miko was supposed to go back after the god sacrifice was over. After staying for two or three days, seeing Haruki-kun still not getting better, and not being able to meet Inari God's envoy through him, she had to leave Genji Manor in a fit of anger.
Sitting on the bullock cart and heading out of Tottori, Miko Yoko thought about it for a long time, and she always felt that she must have been deceived by that kid Genji.No matter how heavy the yin qi is, no matter how you put it, these days should be getting better.How could he still be seriously ill? !
In fact, Qingshu-kun never thought that he could always use this trick to deceive Yoko Miko, but, it seems, he thought this lady was smarter.
The more Yoko Miko thought about it, the more likely it seemed.As the attendant said, Genji Haruki has been unhealthy since he was born, and the yin qi that cannot get out of bed should have passed away immediately after being infected.
It's really... hateful Genji!
But a vulgar warrior was born...
The Genji clan is usually a clan with royal blood. However, the great-grandfather of the Qinghe Genji of the Minamoto Nakaman branch was the sixth prince of a weak and inconspicuous emperor. What will happen to his sons and their descendants.
It is precisely because of this that the Nakaman family clings to the Fujiwara family to climb to a high position, and among the clans, secretly belittles the Qinghe Genji family so much.I dare not say it on the bright side.Do you want to be rehabilitated by some excuse? !
After Yoko Miko walked for several days with anger, she heard the maid's report that some noble person seemed to be coming up ahead. Looking at the direction of the road, it looked like she was going to Tottori.
Go to Tottori, is there any small clan in Tottori?That person should get out of the car and meet her.
Yoko Miko didn't think about it for too long, and the maid came to report again.
"Looking at the family crest on the ox cart, it is Abe's family. The ox cart is also used by officials. From the ox cart, it is an official of the fourth rank."
Who else would be the official with the surname Abe of the fourth rank?Officially now in the court, Abe Seimei, the doctor of astronomy and Taoism who is trusted by the emperor and the royal family!
He is different from those noble girls who wear the aura of witches and don't have much ability. He is a person with real ability.
Yoko Miko didn't dare to think about anything at this time, the size of the clan, who should meet whom.If I offended this character, I'm afraid that I don't know how he died, and no one knows that it was this person who did it.
Yoko Miko got off the bullock cart early, showing a reserved and gentle smile, waiting for Abe Seimei's bullock cart to stop in front of her.
"So it's the maiden from the main shrine of Inari Shrine." Seimei Abe got off the bullock cart and saluted her from afar.
Seeing Seimei-kun's appearance and the perfect courtesy to her, Yoko Miko couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly returned the courtesy.It was rumored in the aristocratic circle that Abe Seimei was the child of the fox demon, and people couldn't help but be confused by him at first glance.
She didn't believe it at first. It seems that when the fox demon's child said it, she didn't know if it was true or not.
