[Onmyoji] Chronicles of Heianjing

When Qingming came down the mountain, the servant driving the ox cart had been waiting for a long time.At this time, the sun was hidden in the mountains and forests, and a large expanse of red rays appeared in front of their eyes. After autumn, it got darker and earlier, and the coolness gradually came.Although there was still light, the road ahead was still bleak. The servants lit the lanterns in front of the ox cart, settled the two children, and started walking towards the capital.

He stopped at Qingming's mansion, and the cherry blossom demon came out to greet him. Qingming asked her to send the little girl back to Edo. She nodded, looked at Nagashima Tosuke in Qingming's arms and asked, "Where is this child?"

"I'll send it myself."

"Alright." The cherry blossom demon led the little girl by the hand into the bullock cart, and said softly to the servant, "I'm sorry for your trouble."

Seimei asked Otengu to rest at home, and went to Nagashima Kokichi's house alone.Huizhi stood at the door, Qingming gave her the child, she was stunned for a while, but didn't answer.Huizhi bit her lip and asked, "Is it Alan?"

Qingming handed the child to her again, but did not answer the question.Keori asked the maid to hold the child, ordered her to hand it over to Kokichi Nagashima, and then continued talking to Seimei.

"Have you found her child?"

"Yes." Qingming nodded, "I hope you will do more good deeds."

"Good deeds? Do you think I'm doing evil? That woman and that child are both wrong, you can't understand." Hui Zhi raised her voice, and she covered her mouth nervously after she finished speaking, and stared at Qingming closely , "There are some things that no one can understand, just treat me as a villain." Hui Zhi sighed, "It's okay to be a villain, thank you for sending my son back, please pay more attention to Kyoto recently."

"This is my duty." Although Qingming didn't understand what she said, she didn't ask further.

"You..." Seeing Qingming turned and left, Huizhi took small steps to chase after her. The evening wind made her hair a little messy. She stopped at the corner to straighten her hair and shouted, "My lord."

Qingming turned around in doubt, and didn't approach her, but only looked at her from a long distance. Seeing that he was not moving, Huizhi walked towards him after thinking for a while, "Alan's daughter is abnormal. Horrible eyes. She was standing in front of the door of Minister Jibu’s room. I happened to pass by. She heard the voice and turned to look at me. She didn’t speak, but smiled with those red eyes. All the candles were shaking, The child's shadow stretched very long, like," Hui Zhi's eyes were filled with tears, "like a fox."

"Fox." Qingming recalled how he felt when he was holding the child. He did have a demonic aura, but there were many monsters on Mount Atago, so he didn't pay much attention to those.Was it possessed by a fox demon? It was really strange, "Please continue."

"She ran away after that." Hui Zhi recalled, "I didn't sleep all night, and I always felt flustered. I didn't dare to talk to Hongji about it. You know, he never believed in ghosts and gods, so he had to keep his words in his heart. The next day, the child came again, and she was still standing there. I felt scared when I saw her, and decided to order someone to send her away, but she took the initiative to hold my hand and forced me into love. Dangshan. Later, I came down from the mountain in a daze. Alan asked the maids about her daughter’s whereabouts. The maids told her that I threw her daughter on Atago Mountain. Do you think it’s ridiculous? It was the monster who dragged me up ah!"

"I'll figure it out." Qingming tightened his hand holding the lantern, and suddenly remembered something, "Do you know that the former Minister Zhibu died?"

"I know." Huizhi looked indifferent, and continued in a mocking tone, "He has something to do with monsters."

"Why do you say that?"

"He died abnormally. Although his servants rumored that he committed suicide, no one committed suicide like that. Moreover, after he died, Hongji became ill and began to vomit blood continuously. He couldn't sleep well and had nightmares. Day hallucinations."

"I see." Qingming was going to see the former Secretary of the Ministry of governance, and the matter was not over yet. "So farewell?"

"Excuse me." Huizhi bowed and watched him go.

When Qingming returned, it was already midnight, the cherry blossom demon had not come back, and the other monsters were asleep, only Daitengu was sitting in the courtyard waiting.He was holding a jug in his hand, a small grilled fish was placed on the plate, and the stars and the moon were above his head.The moonlight reflected on his face, which was as warm as jade.

"Open your wings." Qingming stood in front of him, and the big tengu obeyed his words. The black wings spread out in an instant, and the feathers flew past Qingming's eyes and landed on the bat fan he closed. Qingming smiled lightly and said ,"give it to me."

Datengu handed him the medicine given by Butterfly Essence, and Seimei's hand stroked his wings, and Datengu trembled visibly, he was not used to people touching that place, so he resisted to pat that cold hand Impulsive, Ootengu urged, "Hurry up."

"Okay, okay," Qingming ordered the little paper figurine to bring water and cloth. Qingming's spirits and knives looked at the big tengu, and the big tengu's eyes stopped on his knife. Qingming explained, "It's completely rotten, so it's better to apply the medicine directly." There's no way to get better, I need to get rid of the rot. I know it will hurt, but—" Dai Tengu's eyes shifted from the knife to his slender fingers, Seimei felt he hesitated, "You said Hurry up."

The big tengu stopped looking at him, Seimei asked, "Don't move around." The big tengu sneered, not knowing what it meant, Qingming disinfected the knife with strong wine, and then let the big tengu drink some, he didn't refuse, gulped poured into his mouth.

Seeing that he was ready, Seimei began to treat his wound.Seimei's movements were quick, and Datengu only felt a chill on his back, and the pain rushed to his face. He broke out in a cold sweat, and clenched the round fan in his hand.Seimei didn't pay attention to the blood staining on Kari, and then applied the medicine and bandaged him. All of this was done smoothly, as if he did it often. The big tengu was extraordinarily clear-headed because of the pain. He turned his head and looked at the bow behind his back. , I feel that I will stay in the room all day tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the house of the ex-Minister Zhibu, will you go?"

"go."

"Okay." Qingming cleaned the knife, a bunch of little paper figurines ran over to bring the water basin back to the backyard, and the rest picked up the broom to disturb them. Qingming teased them with his finger, then looked at the big tengu, "Nagashima Kokichi's The matter is not over yet, his wife just said something to me, do you want to hear it?"

"speak."

"She said that Alan's child was a monster, and she also thought that the former Minister of Jibu had something to do with monsters." Qingming said, Datengu felt strange, and motioned him to continue, "The child appeared in front of Nagashima Kokichi's house for two consecutive days , and has red eyes, and the shadow is like a fox. Nagashima Kokichi’s wife said that it was not she who threw the child on Atago Mountain, but the child pulled her up. After the death of the former Minister Jibu, Nagashima Hiroshi Ji Bian can't afford to be ill, plus these things, no one will believe that the former Minister of Zhibu has nothing to do with these things."

"Have you been possessed?" Ootengu thought of her innocent and lovely face, "Do you think the former Minister of Jibu asked the monster to kill Nagashima Kokichi?"

"Yes. The beautiful woman in fancy clothes that Alan mentioned must not be a human being. Since the impression is so impressive, how can it make people forget her face? But the former Minister of Jibu invited monsters to kill Nagashima Kokichi, it shouldn't be Let Alan see that Nagashima Hirokichi's wife said that Alan and her daughter are not normal, Alan may have been bribed by that woman, and deliberately revealed some information to me. But I don't understand why the person hiding behind his back would do this. "

"Why don't you doubt the words of Hirokichi Nagashima's wife?"

"Her father once asked me to make a peace talisman for her when she was married. You have to believe in my ability. If there is any trouble, I can feel it."

"Aside from monsters, what if she is a bad person? Hirokichi Nagashima beats and scolds her constantly. It is not surprising that she is suffering from hysteria as Alan said, and she is thinking of revenge on Hirokichi Nagashima. It was a coincidence, after all you have divination for him, he will definitely die." Big Tengu retorted.

"I never thought you would talk so much." Qingming drank, "Of course I know how she is, otherwise I wouldn't have helped her make a talisman. Okay, it's too late, let's go to bed earlier, Big Tengu."

Big Tengu's eyes darkened, and he went back to his room alone.Qingming looked at his back, thinking a lot.
