total eclipse of heart

Kyoto in March is the season when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the whole season is soft and gentle with the cherry blossoms.However, the sun at noon is still full of power, and if it is used as punishment, it will vigorously whip people who make mistakes.

At this moment, Mu Shou knelt and sat in the courtyard of Yinyangliao under the punishment of Master Ye Wang.From time to time, someone passed by, whispering about it, and after finding out what happened, they became even more curious.

In Yinyangliao, a place where onmyojis gather, Yinyangtou is the highest official rank, while Zhiding is the last, and neither has official rank.What's more, the Yin-Yangtou who is in power now is Master Ye Wang, who is called the "Great Onmyoji" by people who worship him. With his fingers, all monsters will be obeyed.

Such a person's words, a little Zhi Ding actually defies, it is too reckless.

"That's the case, sir, you didn't punish him severely." It was Tsurumi Godao who spoke.

At this moment, he was kneeling upright in the room, and the two paper doors of the room opened, revealing the figure of King Ye on the corridor.Ye Wang supported his head with one hand, and lay reclined on the corridor in a white hunting suit.In early spring and March, when it is warm and cold, the Hanfei cherry blossoms outside the corridor are in full bloom, sweeping away the coldness of early spring.

Ye Wang lazily supported his head with one hand, and his tone was as casual as a flowery teasing: "It's not his fault."

Tsurumi Wudao was about to point out Lord Ye's extraordinary compassion for Mu, but he heard Ye Wang say: "It is Tsurumi you who lured him to this step of being punished."

The tone was still uninterested and rambling, but it made Tsurumi startled, and immediately bowed down to pay respects to the ground, and said very earnestly: "My lord, at first I saw that the little boy Mu admired you very much, so I intentionally or unintentionally I will reveal a little about the care you care for him inadvertently, hoping that this child who lost his parents can feel the warmth of the world and walk on the bright road where the adults are, so as not to be eroded by demons.

"Unexpectedly, with such a good intention, the little boy Mu would have the wrong idea. He thought that he was a special existence to the adults, but he was so arrogant that he violated the orders of the adults and sneaked out of the city from the sacrificial ceremony. Returning to the demons to enter the enchantment. Although this matter is not the fault of Tsurumi alone, but it happened because of me, and I hope Lord Ye Wang will punish him."

In the face of his subordinates who were too earnest to bow to the ground, King Ye did not make any movements, and still looked at the cherry blossoms outside the corridor with his head propped up.The wind blows, and the petals of the cherry blossoms fly away from the branches, drift with the wind, and fall one after another.

There were crimson cherry blossoms spiraling down, falling into Ye Wang's loose wine-red hair, and were quickly submerged.That kind of wine red is strong, shocking like the blood of a samurai spreading on the snow, how can it be compared with the weak cherry blossoms.

"Tsurujian," Ye Wang said indifferently, his eyes stayed on the cherry blossoms raining outside the corridor, "Intentional or unintentional, the resulting guidance is very different."

Tsurumi lowered his body even lower, cold sweat covered his back, and his luck was instantly crushed.

He, why, how could he have such courage... He actually ignored that Mr. Ye Wang has the power to see through people's hearts, and he still takes chances in front of him? !

"Master Ye Wang... Please punish me!" Tsurumi Godao no longer made any sophistry, his head rested on the cold floor and could no longer lift it up.

Ye Wang laughed, "That's all. He was easily led to the wrong path, so he should be punished." As he spoke, he withdrew his eyes from the cherry rain and looked at the boy kneeling in the courtyard , a thin figure, but there are several monsters lying on the shoulders and backs. Due to the barrier, they can only stare at the people passing by.

Even within the enchantment, will there be monsters?

In the end, the whole person will become a filthy and filthy thing on the other side.

After instructing Tsurumi to guard the demon on the boy, Tsurumi expressed similar concerns: "In the end, what will happen to the little boy Mu?"

"I'm going to die." Ye Wang said casually, "A pure soul that many people yearn for, in the end, can only be filled with the filth of this world and the other side."

The sun is shining.

Mu knelt in the courtyard.

It has been more than half a day.He rushed back to Kyoto from outside the city in the early morning, and as soon as he returned to Yinyangliao, Master Ye sent a message to his attendants, ordering him to kneel in the middle of the courtyard of Yinyangliao to accept the punishment of leaving without saying goodbye.Mu didn't say anything, and didn't even change his clothes, so he knelt down as he said.

Then the attendant drew a circle around the range where he was kneeling, forming a small barrier, telling him not to come out.Knowing that this is also the meaning of Lord Ye Wang, Mu nodded, feeling sorry for himself in a beautiful dress, which is the only good clothes he can wear now.

After the demon got into the sleeve of the clothes, this idea was dispelled.It's already so filthy anyway, what do you care?

The demon laughed ferociously again, mocking his vanity, innocence, and impracticality.He kept a stiff face, pretending to ignore them, but unintentionally, he gradually used his spiritual power to expel them.

Sensing his resistance, the biggest demon lying on his shoulders slowly stretched out its black and smoky arms, and hugged the boy, "Oh, aren't we together?" The shoulder jumped into the air, floated in the air, and leaned in front of the boy to face him——if the mass of objects with black mist could also distinguish the front from the back.

The black mist gathered into a human shape, but there was a black mist around the body.

"You, you are the same as us, you—"

As he spoke, the human-shaped black mist showed a mouthful of cold white teeth, and spit out those few words lightly.

"...I'm not anymore." Mu's eyes sank, he denied it, and grabbed his sleeves tightly, "Because I already have friends, Lord Ye Wang..."

The black mist laughed loudly, and quickly circled around him, the black smoke completely enveloped the young man, "Let's have a look then!"

With its sharp whistle, all the monsters perched on Mu jumped up and threw themselves into the black mist without thinking about their own safety. The black mist expanded into a larger shape, attracting the attention of passing onmyojis, and then they went straight Crash into the boy's body!

The onmyoji who looked sideways all exclaimed in surprise, no one expected such a thing to happen under Lord Ye Wang's eyes!

So much so that they were at a loss in the face of this sudden situation, until the boy collapsed lifelessly like a puppet, Tsurumi walked over quickly, ordered his attendants to take Mu away, and then quietly told the onlookers, "For the sake of our Yinyang Liao, everyone should just pretend that you didn't see what happened today, and we can leave."

After finishing speaking, he was the first to leave with his sleeves rolled up and his back turned, passing Xiao Tiancang in the crowd without looking sideways.As a result, the crowd gradually dispersed.And Odakura came later, walked side by side with Tsurumi, and whispered in a secretive tone: "Hey, just take it as my concern for my colleagues, that little thing called Mu is like this, Lord Ye Wang will get rid of him Bar?"

Tsurumi glanced at Odakura, and replied: "This is the matter between Mr. Ye Wang and him."

When Mu woke up, it was already midnight.

The two paper doors are open, and the moonlight shines in, spreading the clear light all over the floor.However, what Mu saw when he opened his eyes was not the brilliance of the moonlight, but Lord Ye Wang.

Ye Wang's wine-red long hair fell down like a spring, and in the cold light of the moonlight, it was an extremely hot color.However, his pupils are quiet and pure black, as quiet as a deep pool.He clearly still has the appearance of a young man, but his brows and eyes hide the loneliness that has been experienced in the world. He is wearing a pure white safari with a red lining. It is clearly the same dazzling and gorgeous color as the long wine red hair, but there is no abruptness in wearing it on him. and inappropriate.

His whole person feels contradictory and strangely harmonious.He crossed his arms, leaned against the door and looked out of the corridor. With a smile in his calmness, he looked at a more distant place.

"This Kyoto is really prosperous beyond appearances." He seemed to mutter to himself, turned his eyes to the little boy who was staring blankly at him, and smiled nonchalantly.Then he asked, "Mu, how old are you this year?"

"Ten, thirteen..." Mu stammered.After all, this was the first time he had a private conversation after being picked up by Mr. Ye Wang.

"You still don't remember the original name?" Ye Wang's tone was very gentle, which made Mu flattered.

Lowering his head and clenching the corner of the quilt tightly, Mu said softly: "Yes..."

A fire killed his parents and his past memories.The last memory picture before coma is that many demons are shouting, laughing and dancing, celebrating this feast of death.I don't remember anything after that, I only remember my single name as Mu, and I don't even remember the names of my parents.Just like that, he crawled out of the pile of dead people in a daze, lived in a daze, was entangled and cursed by demons and dared not turn his head, afraid that he would see the ghosts of his dead parents when he turned his head, and hearing them scold him for not dying was enough.

Until I met King Ma Cang Ye.

"Are you the child known as the 'Child of Ghosts'?" Ye Wang, who had a good memory, smiled softly, leaned over slightly, his black eyes were pure and fatally alluring, "What's your name?"

"Mu, one single name is the word Mu." Stumbled out his name, the child looked at himself in those calm black eyes, and it turned out that he was not as dirty and filthy as the eyes of everyone disgusted.

At this moment, Ye Wang showed the gentle smile that Mu remembered, but Mu couldn't help shivering.He also learned later that Ye Wang's gentleness never gives alms easily.

"Do you want to be surnamed Ma Cang?"

[About the setting of this article: In the background of this article, the author assumes that King Ma Cangye is less than 20 years old and looks more like a teenager. PS. The author will not say that in my heart he has always been 15 years old...My lord, please forgive me! 】
