[Onmyoji] Chronicles of Heianjing

The sky was cloudy and hot, like it was going to rain.The people sent by Nagashima Hongji had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and the cherry blossom demon prepared an ox cart for them in advance, loaded it with cypress cakes and wine, and ate on the road.Alan's home is in Edo, a little far from Heian-kyo.When Qingming heard the servant report the location, he always felt some vague impressions in his mind, but he still couldn't remember it, which made him rarely feel frustrated.

"The hometown of the former Secretary Jibu is also in Edo." Otengu's voice came from beside him, Seimei remembered that he was also there when he chatted with Secretary Jibu that day, but it is rare for him to remind him now.

Qingming looked at his indifferent face and chuckled, "I thought you were just sitting there admiring the flowers. It's rare for you to listen to his long speech."

"There's nothing else to do." Big Tengu thought of the face of Minister Jibu and felt that it was hard for him to listen. He was so good at talking, if it wasn't for the sake of preventing Yasha from coming to him for a duel every now and then, he really wouldn't Being so close to Qingming and the others, "The medicine you gave Boya seemed different when he came last time."

"Humans and monsters are always different." Seimei reacted quickly to Daitengu's sudden change of subject.He put on a standard smile, and unknown emotions flashed in his eyes.Big Tengu felt that the breath of the people around him changed in an instant, but he didn't care about it.

Now that we have left Heian-kyo, the sweltering heat dissipated after arriving in the outskirts, and the rain began to pick up one after another.Seimei lowered the curtain, and the sudden darkness made Ootengu a little uncomfortable, and the oppressive atmosphere spread in the small bullock cart. He didn't think too long, and opened the curtain again.The mountain road was not smooth. When the big tengu was about to go back and sit down, the bullock cart began to shake because of the many rocks on the ground. He couldn't stand still for a while, and his body fell forward.

"Hmm." He felt his lips touch something soft, and subconsciously stretched out his tongue to lick it. When he really realized what he had done, he froze.The big tengu who fell into Seimei's arms looked up almost stiffly to look at him, those beautiful fox eyes were full of smiles.

At this moment, the sound of the rain is getting quieter, and the humid air smells of soil. Through them, the big tengu associates with earthworms, mountain springs, and birds.The rain was blowing in with the wind, maybe the people under him were too warm, maybe the eyes had a deceptive effect, and when the big tengu saw it, it had an illusion of dizziness.The scene in front of him suddenly turned red or blue, what kind of color it was, he couldn't tell or understand.But this is like the crisp wind chimes and heavy incense in the Uji Bridge Hime Shrine. Ethereal and solemn are mixed together but do not conflict, which is surprising.There are [-] possibilities, Ootengu thinks that the person who picked up the letter in Kuroyue Mountain is not him, but Abe Seimei.

Otherwise there is no way to explain it all.All the emotions exploded in an instant, and his mind seemed to explode calmly. He felt a sense of novelty that he had never had before, and it was completely different from the impulsiveness when he met Hei Qingming. This was a brand new experience.Accumulated feelings are gentle flowing water. When it meets a corner, it splashes. Now there is no way to pretend that nothing happened and move on.

Complicated emotions merged together, and both Hei Qingming and Bai Qingming were alone.We set our feelings for Hei Qingming as respect and love, which is a seed.But now Abe Seimei is water, he held hands subconsciously to let the seeds germinate, falling is just an accidental corner, and ingenious accidents often happen.So I have to compare love to real estate, similar to natural currencies such as gold, you don't have to judge carefully, because you just know it.

Ootengu felt that the cherry blossoms were blooming at this time, Seimei or him, it was the same.

He broke free from Qingming's arms and sat in the corner of the bullock cart.Seimei looked at the empty space and tapped it with his bat fan.

"Do you know the meaning of that sentence? Daitengu." Qingming lowered his eyes, "Haruko told Noguchi that the belt is very beautiful." He looked at the profile of Daitengu and asked in a coaxing tone, "What do you mean?" ?”

"It means." I like you.

Big Tengu didn't finish talking.All the thoughts were suppressed in his heart, as if they had all disappeared.Too fast, he couldn't face it.

"One can't be in a hurry." Qingming smiled, some things need to be brought to the end, it's not okay to go too far, "You know what it means."

Alan knew that day would come sooner or later.

She sat on the porch while the children ran across the fields.Not far away, the gorgeous ox cart was full of the atmosphere of Kyoto. It stopped, and the driver's clothes bore the obvious logo of Nagashima Kokichi's house.Two men in hunting clothes came down from the bullock cart.Seeing this, Alan couldn't help trembling, tears blurred the scene in front of him.The grass seemed to start to grow crazily, the children's laughter gradually faded away, and she felt that she was tightly strangled by fear.Unable to breathe, unable to move, the last straw in her heart was finally crushed.

"Is it Alan, the maid of Mrs. Long Island?" Qingming looked at the woman with empty eyes in front of her, a little puzzled. She didn't answer, as if she didn't hear, so Qingming had to ask again, "Is it Alan?"

"Yes." Alan came back to her senses, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and saluted Qingming, "Master Qingming from Yinyangliao, I wonder what your lord is doing here?"

"Minister Jibu asked me to find his son." Qingming took out the feather of the guhu bird and passed it to Alan, "I may need your help."

Alan didn't take it, she bit her lip, raised her head to stare into Qingming's eyes, and asked, "What do you mean, my lord?"

"It's time to make up for my mistakes." Seimei shook the feather in his hand, "You told Nagashima Kokichi that it was Kokichi who stole his son, and you used this feather as a testimony. You know that with his character, he wouldn't make a big deal out of it." His son disappeared. He asked his servants to take the feathers to find many onmyojis, and they confirmed that it was indeed the feather of the Guhuo bird. Although there is no way to explain the reason, you made him have to believe that it was the Guhuo bird. for."

Alan's expression remained unchanged. She listened to Qingming's story indifferently, her eyes full of sarcasm.Qingming didn't think about it, and he continued, "It's just that there is no ghost in that house. If the girl really stole the child, it is impossible not to leave traces."

"Since your lord already understands it so well, why bother to say more. I did steal his son, just bring me back to Hongji Nagashima."

"I just don't understand." Qingming shook his head.

Alan snorted coldly, "I've been a maid at Hongji's house in Long Island for more than ten years. He is spoiled and domineering, and he is harsh on his servants. Whenever he is in a bad mood, he whips us, even his own wife." She showed her arms full of scars, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "That woman deserved it, she was suspicious all day long, as if she was suffering from hysteria. She thought that I seduced her husband, tied my daughter and threw her into the wilderness She is only two years old!" Alan cried, "I searched all day and all night, but I only found the feathers that fell from the bird. Why! She asked Nagashima Kokichi to fire me , It’s just fear, dreaming back at midnight, my daughter has ever gone to her! The vicious couple lives a life of luxury, but we have to bear such misfortune.”

Alan's children gathered around and looked at the heartbroken mother at a loss.Qingming had investigated Alan when she came. She has nine children, three boys and six girls. The oldest is 13 years old, and the youngest is the two-year-old daughter she just mentioned.She reported her daughter's disappearance to the government, but Qingming didn't expect this to be the reason.Alan's husband is a carpenter, so honest he couldn't be more honest, and he doesn't know how to fight back when he is bullied.A few years ago, he had a conflict with a customer and lost one eye. Now he runs a shop in Edo City, and his income is meager, mainly relying on the money sent by Alan every month.

Alan said he was unfortunate, and he was.So from the very beginning, Qingming never thought of embarrassing her, but he had to redeem what she did wrong. The child is always innocent.

"Gu Huo Niao won't hurt people. She has a gentle temperament and loves children. If she really takes your daughter away, I will help you find her back." Qingming sighed, "It's just that you know that since you are a mother The pain of losing a child, right or wrong, you shouldn't take your child's life to revenge them."

Alan was silent, and Seimei didn't speak anymore.Some things have to be understood by herself. If others talk too much, she will have resentment in her heart. It is good to think about it, but there is nothing he can do if he can't.

"At Mount Atago." Alan said, "I didn't dare to go up, so I just threw him at the foot of Mount Atago." She drove the child into the house, tidied up her worn kimono, and bowed respectfully to Qingming, "Here You have troubled me, my lord, and now I know that nothing I can do will help me, and I must be a wicked woman in your eyes. But I dare to ask you, if you meet my daughter, please You bring her back. If she has been eaten by wild beasts, then...then..."

Alan couldn't continue, Qingming handed her a handkerchief, she shook her head, but did not accept it.Seimei comforted, "Everything will be fine, it's okay."

"Thank you." Alan straightened up and covered his face with his hands, "It wasn't like this at first, I watched Hushan grow up little by little, but I just couldn't restrain myself in those days, I always felt that there was a voice in my head that was tempting me. I was forced to do those wrong things. I also regretted taking him out of Nagashima Kokichi’s mansion. Later, I went to Atago Mountain to look for him, and wanted to take him back to Edo to raise him, but he had already been captured by the aunt. The bird took it away."

Hearing what she said, Qingming suddenly thought of the person behind Mishima, and he asked, "Did you meet any special people in those days?"

Alan recalled that she opened her eyes wide and replied, "I was out one day and saw the former Secretary of Government and a woman in a fine dress talking. I paused for a moment when I passed them, and she glanced at me at that time, It's a terrible look. I can't remember her face, I just think it's tall and she should be a very beautiful woman."

"Pretty woman?" Seimei thought of Ujihashihime, but immediately denied the conjecture, it probably couldn't be her.Sure enough, it still has something to do with the original Secretary of the Ministry of governance. That guy doesn't know whether he is dead or alive now, so sad.

"It's just a feeling. It's an impressive woman, but I just can't remember her face."

"Thank you."

Seimei bid farewell to Alan. He felt that it was necessary for him to visit the former Secretary of the Ministry of Political Affairs.
