[Onmyoji] Chronicles of Heianjing

"Are you awake?"

The voice of the cherry blossom demon rang in his ears, Otengu rubbed his sore temples and straightened up, the surrounding scene made him frown.This is a clean and comfortable room, and the unknown incense in the corner is rich but unexpectedly pleasant, which makes the big tengu feel at ease in this strange environment.His previous memory still stays on the Black Night Mountain.After being sent back by Yasha, his world returned to its original state, only the silent night and fine wine remained.The icy wind blows away the pain, and he got drunk with himself last night.

"Your clothes don't seem to be usable any more. Master Seimei ordered me to send them. It may be too big for you, but please forgive me." The cherry blossom demon gently offered the blue hunting clothes, "It was Lord Yuan Boya last night. Master Seimei has already cleaned and bandaged your wound for sending you here, but the wound on your right wing is more difficult to deal with, but please rest assured, it will be fine."

Daitengu looked at the clothes in her hand expressionlessly, but did not speak.The cherry blossom demon was not annoyed, she was still smiling.Seeing that the big tengu didn't move for a long time, she seemed to realize something, so she got up and took a few steps back until she exited the room, nodded and smiled at the big tengu, and closed the door.

"Please change your clothes, and call me if you have orders. If you want to see Master Qingming, he is in the courtyard."

The cherry blossom demon stood guard at the door for a while and then got up to leave. Datengu heard her footsteps going away, and then looked down at the neatly folded clothes on the ground for a while. Although he was struggling in his heart, he still put them on.Smelling the light fragrance that belonged exclusively to the owner on the clothes, he felt a little unnatural.It was the smell of Abe Seimei. He had smelled it from Mr. Kuro Seimei before. It had a faint fragrance of cherry blossoms, giving people a calm and mysterious feeling.

He opened the window for air.The monsters in the garden are gathering together for summer activities.The little paper man came and went with a broom, very busy.But after hearing the sound of the window opening, everyone looked at Otengu at the same time, the surprise and fear in their eyes turned into crazy love in an instant, and they showed a determined smile to Ootengu.

He was a little puzzled. Recently, the monsters' attitude towards him has changed a lot. They all like to come to him, as if he is some kind of attractive thing, constantly attracting people to give up everything and come to him.But these admirations were too pure, and after he backed down repeatedly, some monsters developed hatred and attacked him.

The strange thing made Ootengu think of the unknown letter, and he felt that he might have been affected by it, after all, he hadn't touched other items for so long.He still remembers the feeling when he opened the letter, the cold and humid air rushed towards his face, carrying a strong resentment, entwining him like a poisonous snake, as if pulling him into hell, making him beyond redemption.

What kind of woman is that?Big Tengu couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up.

He looks away.At the other end of the courtyard, Seimei was admiring the flowers alone. His back was facing the big tengu. There was no shikigami by his side, and his back seemed lonely.The wind blew the cherry blossoms down, and when the petals were about to fall into his hair, Seimei stretched out his hand and flicked them. When he turned around, he met Daitengu's eyes, and the indifferent expression on his face disappeared, turning into a warm and soft smile.

The big dog was stunned.Li Wu's black hair under his hat, narrow fox eyes and fair and slender hands holding a fan. He is dressed in a blue safari suit. With that handsome face, he looks like a nobleman. The rumored son of the white fox is the real one. Abe Seimei, is that the case?

The big tengu closed the window.

He began to think about his current situation.For Yuan Boya's midnight raid, he was not angry, but rather thankful.He was very moved when he thought that his friends who thought they would never meet again still valued him so much.Although Yuan Boya sent him to Qingming's house without permission, he still didn't see anyone when he woke up.But Ootengu still decided to ignore these little things. After all, he drank all the wine brewed for Yuan Boya last night, and it really made people regret doing things impulsively.

Big Tengu loves him as a friend who has been with him for many years, and regards him as much as Hei Qingming.Even if in the end they took different paths and turned against each other, he never thought of hurting Yuan Boya, and Yuan Boya was really dedicated to him, even at the last moment he trusted Ootengu and regarded him as a friend.

They met in the mountains and forests many years ago.Holding a bow and arrow, this cheerful young samurai was attracted by his strength almost the moment he saw the big tengu.They communicated and chatted like two ordinary people, Yuan Boya was not afraid of the power of the big tengu like others, nor was he afraid of his identity as a monster.Ootengu was delighted by this, and in a short time they formed a strong friendship.

Seimei is Yuan Boya's friend, and according to observation, the relationship should be pretty good. Although she doesn't really want to see Qingming, Yuan Boya should feel embarrassed if she doesn't go.

Although it was difficult to make a decision, when he actually stood in the sun, Ootengu felt his head hurt even more. The hangover affected him more than he thought, and he shouldn't drink so much.Moreover, the clothes on his body were indeed too big, which made it difficult for him to move around.As for the size, if you usually fly, the difference is not too big. I didn't expect that there are so many differences in comparison.

"Need a meal?"

The voice of the young man with his back turned was very soft, like the flowing water of a mountain spring in the early spring, soft and steady but also piercingly cold, as if it could contain everything, but it was very aggressive.This is different from Qingming he saw before, and also different from Qingming Hei.This is a truly complete Abe Seimei, and Kuro Seimei will never come back.Daitengu realized this by watching his back.

While Daitengu was thinking, the young man under the cherry blossom tree had already walked in front of him, and with a smile, he stretched out his hand to put the golden hair around his ears behind his ears. His movements were natural and smooth, and Daitengu didn't even feel uncomfortable.

"Let's eat." Qingming called the maid to serve the food, and they sat on the porch, having a rare peaceful time.

"It seems that he doesn't want to talk to me. Is it because of Hei Qingming?" Qingming poured wine for himself, and also gave Otengu a glass.

"What is justice in your eyes?" Big Tengu ignored his question and asked abruptly.

Qingming laughed twice, and drank a glass of wine, "It's equality and justice."

"Is the world equal and just?"

"No." Qingming shook his head, "Darkness always exists under the shadows, and no one can be truly fair."

"including you?"

"including me."

"That's ridiculous." Daitengu refused his drink, and didn't touch the food on the table.

"You claim to be the embodiment of justice, and are you equal and fair?" Qingming asked, "You want everyone to submit to you, and you say you want to bring a new order to the world. So what is the new order?"

"I have slashed evil spirits and fought monsters. These are just to protect those weak monsters. But you see, human life is too short and small compared to monsters. They can only use whatever they can use Make yourself strong, expel aliens to protect yourself from harm. The justice you want is just another crime in the new world you build. From humans bullying monsters, monsters bully humans, and so on There is no difference in nature in circulation. And when you comment on right and wrong, and blame mistakes, the justice in your heart has been skewed."

"Are you blaming me for my fault?"

"That's right." Qingming nodded, "Your ideas are too extreme. Good and evil have not been absolute since ancient times, and the position of justice has also changed with ethics and morality. Hei Qingming knows this, but the desire for revenge controls him. , Yamata no Orochi tempted him, he never concealed his evil, but this is not the case for you, you think he is saving you."

The big tengu was silent, he asked himself in his heart, what kind of justice is his.He wanted to overthrow Qingming's remarks, but in the end he found that he had already gone against his original oath.Seimei is right, such a cycle is essentially the same.So what's the point of his insistence now?

Qingming continued casually, "You are very powerful, but obviously, your master didn't give you any good advice on how to deal with the matter. He indulged your conceit, expecting you to go on a road from which there is no turning back. You stick to it Isn't it too naive to follow his so-called righteousness?"

"You have to know that no one in this world can explain to you what justice is, because it is in your heart, and you have to comprehend it by yourself, and then go back to the path that belongs only to you."

"You are right, I am narrow-minded."

Good and evil will not only appear on one side, whether it is a monster or a human, they are the same.In the past, he saw human beings bullied by evil spirits, so he punished evil spirits, but found that weak monsters were bullied by humans, so he was dissatisfied with human beings, and wanted to build a world of monsters by gaining more powerful power to protect them from harm .

But this is meaningless, he knew this before, but he was unwilling to admit it, thinking that relying on his own strength was enough to save everything, and the appearance of Hei Qingming gave him hope even more.There is nothing wrong with Qingming implying that Hei Qingming lured#introduced him in his words, he was indeed tempted#, and he was deeply involved in it.

Seimei chuckled, "Whether it is Kuro Seimei or Yamata no Orochi, it has become a thing of the past. But you are different. Your life span is endless. You have infinite possibilities. Don't be limited to what he gave you. in memory."

Big Tengu thought for a long time, and replied, "Okay."
