[Onmyoji] Chronicles of Heianjing

"Seimei!"

"Wait! Lord Boya!"

Yuan Boya's loud voice and the virgin's screams in the distance made Qingming's hands, which were braiding Yingcao, tremble. The little girl was in pain, and turned her head to stare at him dissatisfied.Daitengu dragged Yasha, who was exhausted by the wind blade, passing by. Seeing this, he took over the troublesome work from him without saying a word, and tied Yingcao's double ponytails in two or three strokes.

"The firefly grass is very cute." Qingming looked at the little girl who had tied up her ponytails and was about to hop around to show off to the white wolf, and wanted to pat her on the head, but the big tengu remained calm. Glancing at him a few times, the meaning was very clear, "This expression is really—"

"Seimei!"

Yuan Boya suddenly came to interrupt him, Qingming looked at this very natural man who broke into other people's house with some headaches, and once again felt depressed about Bai Qingming's good temper, how did he get used to Yuan Boya to such an extent yes!The original Boya was not so presumptuous.

"How is the big tengu's injury? And what happened last time, can you figure it out? I—" Yuan Boya looked at the big tengu next to Seimei and suddenly stopped speaking. This was the first time he saw big tengu in months. Tengu, that feeling came again, the emotions of admiration and hatred surged out in an instant, he couldn't speak, he only felt that he wanted to imprison the person in front of him in the darkness, or...

"Drink it."

Qingming's voice made Yuan Boya sober. He looked at the wine glass in front of him and drank it all without any hesitation. It tasted weird. This was the only thought in his mind.Yuan Boya was a little puzzled, but he was relieved when he saw Shang Qingming's beautiful fox eyes.All the feelings just now disappeared, as if he had never had any thoughts about the big tengu. For some reason, he always felt like he had lost something.He coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe just now, and returned to his usual appearance.

Seimei didn't look at him, but stared at the wine glass in a daze. Yuan Boya shook him, and Seimei said, "It is indeed a curse. I haven't been able to find out the solution yet, but I can think of other ways. As for Yamata no Orochi I've probably found a cure for the injuries I caused, Uji Hashihime helped me a bit when we went to Uji last time."

"Kagura told me." Yuan Boya nodded, "But there is one more thing."

"how?"

Yuan Boya said, "I just got the news that Hirokichi Nagashima has been appointed as the new Secretary of the Zhibu. Those guys in the Zhibu Province may be so happy that they can't sleep. They have long been looking forward to the departure of the former Secretary of the Government."

"Nagashima Hirokichi is too young, and he doesn't have the ability to do the original Jibu Shaofu." Seimei commented, "Isn't the higher-ups afraid of trouble?"

"Isn't someone holding him back? What else could happen?" Yuan Boya was quite disdainful of the matter, "Honichi Nagashima is hosting a banquet tonight, so I asked you to come over. I wanted to refuse, but he There seems to be something unspeakable between the brows and eyes, so I agreed to him because I couldn't refuse."

"Unspeakable concealment?"

"Yes," Yuan Boya recalled the scene at that time. The new Nagashima Hirokichi was supposed to be happy when he took office, but for some reason, the whole person looked very melancholy, with a bitter face. People who didn't know thought that His Majesty bullied him, "He pestered me for a long time in the palace and refused to say a word, insisting that I invite you to go."

"He asked you to invite you, so why bother?"

"I'm not..." Yuan Boya was speechless.

"What are you?" Qingming asked, in fact, he knew Yuan Boya's worries, he found it a little funny and also a little angry, "You think I've become a stranger, and you don't know how to face me and get along with me, right? In the past few months, you have been far and near to me, and you don’t talk to me in the hall, and you want to hide from me when you see me, and you are hesitant to speak, so it’s impossible for people not to notice the abnormality, Boya."

Yuan Boya was silent for a moment, sighed, "When we met, you didn't have any memory. When you were suspected or faced sudden condemnation, you accepted it calmly, and then went to prove yourself. You were completely kind at that time, and you were willing to help anyone Weak or strong, humans or monsters, in your eyes are the same, you have no prejudice. It's just..." Yuan Boya clenched his bow and arrow, "The person who messed up Heianjing is also you. After Yang Qingming merged with Yin Qingming, things are so different." He looked up into Qingming's eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm just not ready to face you like this."

"It's okay, you just need time to adapt." Qingming smiled, "But you have to understand, no matter who I am, I am very grateful to have you by my side during those difficult days. Boya has always been a very good person."

"Then——" Yuan Boya was made unnatural by his provocative tone, he looked around awkwardly, and finally lost ground on Seimei's gentle face, "I see."

"Master Qingming and Master Boya want to change their hairstyles!"

Seeing that the two of them had finished talking, Yingcao tugged at the corner of Qingming's clothes, Yuan Boya subconsciously took a few steps back after hearing the word hairstyle.He glanced at what Daitengu was doing, looked at Seimei with a complicated look, and decided to say goodbye to him, but Daitengu's hand had already reached out and grabbed his ponytail.

"Bo Ya?"

"I have something to do in the palace. Let Qingming accompany you. His hair is thick and smooth. It's even better than that of a hair-eating ghost... wait!" Yuan Boya quickly snatched the hairband from the big tengu, and left the place quickly. The land of right and wrong, "See you! Remember to go to Hongji's house in Nagashima tonight!"

"Run fast at this time." Big Tengu held a wooden comb and looked at Yuan Boya's leaving back expressionlessly, and then looked down at Seimei who was sitting very dazed. He asked without sincerity, "Try?"

"Just..." Qingming glanced at the happy photos beside her.

The little monsters in the mirror resisted a little in their hearts, but finally nodded heavily, "Try it." They are serious and upright big monsters with really weird hobbies.

"It's really soft." The big tengu took off his black hat, ran his cold fingers through his hair, and combed his somewhat messy hair. "I wanted to try it before, but Hei Qingming-sama..." Da Tengu paused, his eyes were a little confused, but he soon regained consciousness, "It's the same for you."

"It's different." Qingming grabbed his hand, "Did you feel it?"

Big Tengu was stunned for a while, and said, "Okay."

The monsters around him were noisy, they were chasing each other, Daitengu tied Seimei's hair, and through the layers of cherry blossoms under the tree, he felt that he probably really understood.

_

At night, the ox cart slowly drove through Kyoto.

"Don't stare at me all the time."

Qingming looked at the big tengu who had lost his wings and was dressed in Qingfeng Gagaku and didn't answer. He lightly touched his back with his fingers, and the big tengu frowned in pain, "Don't touch it."

"Sorry, I thought..."

"It's okay." Ootengu shook his head. The bite of Yamata no Orochi has always made him very distressed. He has been in Heianjing for so many days, but he has not improved.Seimei has studied many medicines and ancient spells, including Uji Hashihime, who came to visit specially, but the wound keeps repeating and cannot heal.Pain is not a big deal, but the demon power often fails, and it is annoying and embarrassing to be successfully attacked by Yasha occasionally.

"It won't be too long." Qingming squeezed the bat fan, and touched his hair that was tossed by the big tengu for a long time.Butterfly, what a joke.

"You're not going to get any better." Da Tengu has completely figured out Qingming's temperament during the few months he has been with him here, and he has almost a clear idea of ​​what is going on in his mind now.Let him wear this red and green clothes, but give him the whole set when he goes out, it is really a very bad experience.

"Evened out."

The bullock cart stopped moving, and the big tengu heard the noise, and the coachman shouted softly outside, "My lord, we're here."

"it is good."

Seimei got out of the car and took the big tengu to Nagashima Kokichi who had been waiting anxiously at the door.His complexion was very bad, much haggard than the last time Qingming saw him.To be honest, Seimei didn't quite understand why he invited him here. Nagashima Kokichi had always disliked him, and his attitude towards Yinyangliao was also very contemptuous.This time he came to him in a hurry, fearing that something serious happened.

"Congratulations, Mr. Hongji." Qingming congratulated him along with others.

Hirokichi Nagashima smiled, with an unnatural expression, just like Minamoto Boya said, without any joy, "Please follow me."

He brought Qingming into the door, but did not go to the lively front hall.When they came to the backyard, the cool wind hit, and the courtyard looked cold and terrifying under the moonlight at night.

"I don't know who Master Nagashima is?"

"Toshiki is missing." Nagashima Kokichi trembled a little when he spoke. Nagashima Totsuki is the only son of Nagashima Hongkichi, who is about ten months old.Hirokichi Nagashima is proud and usually does not communicate with others, but since having this little son, his whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes. He often pulls ministers to tell how happy his family life is, which makes most ministers very disgusted. .

"It was the monster's work, Lord Qingming, please help capture the monster and save my son!"

"You have never believed in ghosts and gods, why are you so sure this time?" Qingming wondered.

"I saw the bird's feathers!" Nagashima Hongkichi said through gritted teeth, "It was made by Guhuo Bird! Who would take away other people's children except her!"

Seimei said nothing, but finally nodded. Although they didn't deal with it very well, if it involved monsters, he should still help him.

"I'm sorry for the past, please accept my apology, this time I'm counting on you!"

"It's just a matter of time."
