[Onmyoji] Chronicles of Heianjing

Who else but her?

Seimei smiled softly.Nagashima Hongkichi has offended quite a few people in the past few years. He has a bad temper, but he was born into a good family.This official position was also promoted in the face of his father. The original Zhibu minister was only 45 six, and he did a good job as an official. Unexpectedly, a Zhibu Shaofu was airborne.If it is said that this young man has some skills, he will not say it, but Nagashima Hongkichi has no skills at all, and his attitude towards foreign countries is poor, which has disrupted many times of diplomacy.The old Zhibu minister complained about this, and made a fuss in front of the emperor, but he couldn't change anything, and in the end he was dismissed.

The dismissed Minister of Jibu stayed in Kyoto for a few days and returned to his hometown with his heart that was about to be broken by the emperor. In fact, before he left, he came to Seimei and asked him to divination his future fortune and the emperor. Will you change your mind.But Seimei's divination results were not very good. It said that he might have to stay in his hometown for the rest of his life, so Secretary Jibu was even more injured.

Seimei didn't quite understand his feelings, so he gave a few words of symbolic comfort, and Secretary Jibu also saw that he really didn't understand, so he complained for a long time to make himself less depressed, and then left.Leaving Qingming alone staring at the results of the divination, he didn't finish his sentence, meaning he could only stay in his hometown for the rest of his life, which actually meant death.

"When did you find out he was missing?"

"The day before yesterday." Hirokichi Nagashima took out the feathers, Seimei took it over to check, and found that it was indeed the feathers of the guhu bird, but something was not quite right. "Hui Zhi and I went out to be a director. We had to stay out of town for a while, but those trash couldn't take good care of our son and let him be captured by monsters!" Kneeling down, Nagashima Hongkichi snorted coldly, and didn't mean to wake her up. Qingming glanced at the panicked maid kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, and the back of Bai Nen's neck was covered with welts.

"You should have come to me sooner."

"Sorry, I thought at first..." Nagashima Kokichi didn't finish his sentence, Seimei knew what he wanted to express.He was protected too well, and he would never believe in these ghosts and gods. The aura on the feather was chaotic, and it must have passed through the hands of many people.

"It's okay." Qingming lifted the kneeling maid and sighed, "It's always right to do more good deeds."

Kokichi Nagashima looked at his actions and was a little displeased. The maid showed a terrified expression and her body trembled. Hirokichi Nagashima waved annoyedly, "Go down."

"Yes, my lord." After the maid bowed and stepped back carefully, Seimei noticed her red eyes and her walking posture. He had heard that Nagashima Kokichi was very strict with his servants, but he didn't expect it to reach such a point.

"Who found it?"

"A maid named Alan has already left." Hirokichi Nagashima didn't care much about Seimei's eyes, "I was going to leave. I saw that her hands and feet were getting worse and worse than before. Jewelry was always missing, so I gave her money to send her back."

Qingming nodded, "Can you tell me where she is? If you want to find your son, you may need some help from her, if she is still willing."

"Help?" Hirokichi Nagashima repeated the word in his mouth, feeling a little novel, "Help from a maid? Haha, Master Seimei is really as rumored. They are just inferior people, how can they help us. Besides, she If it really works, you should be grateful for it."

"Should you be grateful to me?" Seimei's tone was very flat, the moonlight reflected on the ground through the layers of branches and leaves in the courtyard, the swaying trees stopped, there was no wind, it was summer, but Nagashima Kokichi felt cold.He wanted to get angry and make the servant throw the brazen man in front of him out, but when he met those fox eyes, his whole body broke out in cold sweat, and the sense of crisis prevented him from saying anything.

He was very dissatisfied with Qingming's words and deeds. In fact, asking Qingming had reached his limit.But now he is insulting him because he is a pariah. If it wasn't for the emperor's trust in Seimei, he wouldn't be able to do anything. He would have tried to get rid of him a long time ago, but it doesn't matter. After finding his son, even if there is no way to completely overthrow Yinyangliao, He will definitely cause Qingming some trouble and avenge him.

"Master Seimei should also be careful when speaking." Hirokichi Nagashima clenched his fists. "I will send someone to take you there tomorrow. What else do you need?"

"I want to see that room." Seimei was not offended by his words, and turned a blind eye to those small gestures.

"Row."

Qingming followed him to the room.Nagashima Kokichi's wife Eori was holding the child's clothes and weeping silently. When she heard the sound of opening the door, she looked at them in horror. She was obviously shocked by the arrival of her husband, Seimei and others. Seimei frowned when she saw this. Mei was about to leave. Nagashima Hongkichi should tell his wife that he was here, or notify her to leave in advance. After all, it is very impolite to disturb a woman.

"Get out, what are you doing here in the eyes? Isn't that embarrassing enough?" Nagashima Hongkichi stopped Qingming, and impatiently scolded his wife. Huizhi quickly put away that hurt look, and she put down her hands She wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and walked out with her head down. Her docile appearance reminded Seimei of the same appearance she had when she first met her.

"Sorry, ma'am. No intention of interrupting."

"What's the use of apologizing? You men..." Hui Zhi replied softly as he walked past him, with tears in his eyes.

An apology does nothing, it will never undo the wrong you did, you have hurt that person whether you intended it or not.Big Tengu looked at the woman leaving alone, and said silently in his heart.Koji Nagashima glanced at him a few times, but due to Seimei's identity, he didn't speak.

Seimei walked into the room and picked up the child's clothes, closed his eyes to perceive the surroundings, and then quickly threw a blank talisman paper into the air, drawing complex runes with his fingers.When Qingming opened his eyes, the charm suddenly exploded and turned into green smoke. He let out a long breath and said, "He's still alive."

"Huh?" Nagashima Kokichi was stunned, he didn't quite understand Seimei's words.

"Your son is still alive." Seimei replied again.

"I know." Hirokichi Nagashima was not satisfied with the result, "I need you to help me rescue him from the bird, you should divination his location for me now, and then set off to find him immediately instead of Say something silly here."

"It's too impatient, but it's useless." Qingming folded the children's clothes and arranged them neatly.He inspected the room carefully with his spiritual sense, but strangely, he didn't sense the aura of the guhuo bird, and he didn't even have any demon power.Although Seimei had never fought Guhuo Niao before, she knew roughly how capable she was, and it was absolutely impossible to completely hide her aura perfectly, so this only showed that the maid named Alan lied to Kokichi Nagashima.

The most critical issue is that according to the results of divination, Nagashima Toshiro is indeed at Guhuo Bird's place now. Although the exact location cannot be determined, there is no doubt about it.

Qingming pondered, and decided to say goodbye to Nagashima Hongkichi, "I'll leave first, and I will help you find Hushan as soon as possible."

"Please go ahead." Nagashima Hongji didn't hold back, in fact he hoped that Qingming would leave quickly so as not to upset him, but he couldn't make a sound because of his request.

Hirokichi Nagashima sent the two of them out. Everyone was very silent when they passed by the banquet. Some people tried to say hello to Seimei, but Hirokichi Nagashima stared back at them, so they had to smile awkwardly and nod to Seimei. Seimei didn't care. He returned the same smile.

Qingming relaxed after boarding the bullock cart. He tidied up his clothes, looked at the silent big tengu beside him, and asked, "Are you confused?"

"Yes." He nodded without hesitation, "There have been folk rumors for a long time that Gu Huo Niao has a vicious temperament. The nobles called her a cannibal, and Nagashima Hongji asked you to look for her. I don't understand why he was stunned when you said his son wasn't dead, he never seemed worried that his son would die."

"This is his first child." Seimei was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ootengu to ask such a question. He stroked the bat fan in his hand and explained patiently, "Nagashima Kokichi just didn't think of this question. You You know, he was well protected by his father, and he hardly encountered any danger. His father solved all the troublesome things for him, from food, clothing, housing to official positions and wives. His father arranged everything for him, And he was put in a comfortable and comfortable environment like a child, how can such a person take care of another child?"

Datengu was silent, Seimei opened the curtain with a fan, and continued, "Even a child would want to climb out of the soft bed. He kept it a secret and thought he handled it well. But no matter who I can't help him, and finally he found me, you should have found out, he didn't think I would refuse from the beginning, he never encountered setbacks, and the results of everything only showed the good side for him, so He won't think about those bad things, in his cognition, it is right for Nagashima Tosugi to be alive, and everything is as it should be."

"Nothing is absolute, and he will not live forever under protection."

"That's right, he really won't be protected all the time." Qingming put down the curtain, and it was very cold in the oxcart in the windy night, Qingming approached the big tengu and subconsciously touched his mask, "He's too irritable, he has evil spirits. Temper is never a good thing. He is harsh to his servants and indifferent to his wife. People around him are afraid of him and fear his every word. Even if he changes his behavior later, it will be irreparable."

Even if it is changed, it cannot be undone.

"It's like this for many things." Daitengu looked at the braids and bow tie he had made for Seimei, and closed his eyes.
