[Onmyoji] Chronicles of Heianjing

"The thing is like this. A few months ago, my daughter Chaoxiang suddenly became sleepy. She went to bed early every night and took a longer break at noon. She is lively and always likes to go out to play, but during that time I didn’t even leave the house. My wife felt that something was wrong, she was afraid she was sick, so she invited many doctors over, but the doctors couldn’t find any symptoms, so we had no choice but to give up. Let her sleep every day, thinking about a period Will the time be better." The Minister of Long Island smiled wryly, "After all, you also know that that kid Hongji gave me a lot of trouble in the past few days, and I haven't cleaned up his mess enough, and the palace..."

"Please talk about the main point." Qingming played with the wine glass and interrupted the Minister of Nagashima very decisively. Just like other ministers said, the Minister of Nagashima and Hirokichi Nagashima are of the same virtue, as long as they chat, no matter what they say. Whatever it is, he has a way to bring it to his son, and then complains about it, telling how hard he is.

After being interrupted by Qingming, the Minister of Long Island also realized that it was not the time for him to complain, and the person was wrong, so he pretended to clear his throat, and continued, "For some reason, my wife felt that Chaoxiang had a sweetheart, so she just complained. I would be in a trance every day, so I decided to look for a man in Kyoto together with me, so that if the sweetheart was not a good one, there would be a candidate. We chatted very late that night, and you also know that I have a lot of things during the day, really I couldn't bear it anymore and went to sleep, my wife washed up and was ready to go to sleep, but at this moment, there was a sound of a piano from the backyard."

The Minister of Long Island suddenly showed a mysterious expression, and paused for a moment, as if waiting for Qingming to ask, Qingming was very helpless about his very naive temperament, so he said, "It's all like this, please hurry up and talk about it, sir." .”

"Okay." The Minister of Long Island's tone was a little disappointed, "At that time, my wife suddenly noticed that Chaoxiang's room could go to the backyard. In this way, the player who played the piano should be Chaoxiang's sweetheart. After all, our servants did not One who can play the piano, besides, it's midnight, she thought of Chao Xiang's symptoms in the past few months, and she probably understood why it happened. So she hesitated for a moment, and decided to go to see my future son-in-law." Minister of Long Island Qingming's eyes became fierce, Qingming drank the wine silently, thinking that he probably knew the problem, "My wife gently opened the door, and sure enough, as expected, Chaoxiang was not on the bed. The window was open Yes, from this angle, you can see the outside scene clearly, and the sun and the moon are round and bright, my wife can see the two people sitting under the tree in the backyard at a glance, and one of them is Chaoxiang. And the other person... No, he is not a human, but a monster. The man playing the piano is a monster! He has white hair and a horn on his head. The first time I saw him, my wife was so frightened that my whole body broke into a cold sweat, but she still insisted. Holding back the screams, she retreated quietly. She told me about the incident in horror. Although I was exhausted, I hardly closed my eyes that night. After falling asleep for a short while, I woke up in a dream again. I still haven’t recovered from it yet, every night I dreamed that my poor daughter was killed by this monster.”

"As you said, this happened a few months ago." Qingming showed no expression on her face, but tied a bow with the hair tie in her hand. "What are you talking about with me now?"

"Mishima Shirakawa, you should have heard of this person, the onmyoji who died tragically at home before." The Minister of Nagashima sighed, showing a regretful expression.

"Indeed, I heard that you asked him to help you get rid of the monster?" Qingming lowered her eyes. Is it this person again? It's really interesting.

"Yes, I was having conflicts with Seimei at that time, so naturally I couldn't come to you. I was worried for half a month. On the way home, I met Mishima Shirakawa who was exorcising demons. I saw that he seemed very nervous. He is proficient, and he looks very experienced, so he was invited here." The minister in Long Island showed annoyance, but Seimei remained expressionless, and continued to stare at the bow tie in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.The minister in Long Island was a little dissatisfied, but after all, he couldn't do something too much if he wanted something from others, so he could only continue to say, "Three islands set up a formation in the backyard during the day, and the white-haired monster came again in the middle of the night, but He didn't know that Chaoxiang had been locked up by us. Mishima pretended to be Chaoxiang to see him, and finally beat him seriously. I thought he was going to die, but he escaped. In the end, Mishima returned to our house I went up and down the barrier, saying that monsters can't get in. He really didn't come again, but my daughter fell ill, so I invited Mishima to come again, and they got along for a month, and Asahi gradually got better. But... But, a while ago, Mishima came to our house and died not long after returning. And after his death, the monster began to appear frequently. I came this time just to ask for your help I get rid of him."

"Huh?" Qingming noticed that he hadn't finished speaking.

"It's just that Mishima left something behind when he was leaving. I think I should show it to you." The minister in Nagashima took out a cypress fan, Seimei took it over to check it, and saw three words - 'Tamamo-mae'.It is a fan from the Tang Dynasty, on which a poem is written in complicated fonts, probably expressing the author's feelings and praising the mountains and rivers. "Is it useful to you? If it can help you, then please cancel our previous grievances, Qingming! I hope you can help me solve this matter this time."

Seimei stared at the cypress fan in silence for a moment, then replied, "Okay."

"Which day is the time set? Tomorrow is feasible?"

"I still have some things to deal with tomorrow. Please go back first. I'll come to you in a few days after I've finished."

"Then, thank you."

The minister in Long Island had achieved his goal, so he left with his retainers in a satisfied manner.Seimei put the fan aside and stared at the hairband again thinking.Daitengu was pushed past Qingming by the demon fox, seeing the headband, his expression became a little subtle for a moment, Qingming raised his head and showed a gentle smile, and he asked meaningfully, "Are you sleepy, Daitengu."

Big Tengu thought about what happened last night, and was originally going to say that he was not sleepy, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not that simple, and it might be.So he answered very decisively and with a little joy, "Sleepy."

"Ah!" The demon fox was not happy, he finally escaped from Yasha's claws and came to the side of his destined person, and was about to be snatched away again, he was so angry! "Ghosts don't need to sleep at all!"

Seimei and Datengu glanced at him at the same time, with kindness in their eyes, which made Yaohu take a step back.The big tengu patted him, and said first, "Be obedient, okay?" Yaohu blushed, nodded awkwardly, then gave Qingming an angry look, and left.

Daitengu sat down beside Qingming, picked up the cypress fan beside him, Qingming poured him a glass of wine, and said, "Come with me to visit Yuzao in a few days."

"Yeah." Big Tengu nodded and finished the glass of wine.Qingming continued to pour it for him with a smile, but Datengu didn't think there was anything wrong, so he chatted while drinking, "Where are you going tomorrow?"

"Let's go to Edo first." Seimei stared at Ootengu's beautiful neck for a moment, then looked away, and said slowly, "Nagashima Asaka, the daughter of the Minister of Nagashima, fell in love with the demon luthier, but the Minister of Nagashima asked Mishima Shirakawa to seriously injure him. And put an enchantment in the mansion of the minister in Nagashima. Mishima Shirakawa died after summoning Uji Hashihime, but before that he went to the minister's house in Nagashima and left this fan with the words 'Tamamo-mae' on it. word."

"Keiori Inoue said that the monster possessing the little girl is a fox." Otengu thought for a while, "He won't leave this cypress fan for no reason, Seimei, we still need to go to his house."

"He wants to betray." Qingming frowned, "If this is the case, the previous matter can be explained."

"This matter has something to do with Hashihime," Otengu absent-mindedly drank the wine Seimei poured for him, blushing slightly, "She didn't look very well when Mishima was mentioned, and she kept many things from me. Ever since Hachiman disappeared, Hashihime has become very strange."

"Don't ask any more," Seimei pondered. "Let's solve the matter of Fujiyama killing his daughter first. Fujiyama is Alan's husband. Since Alan has contact with the person behind the scenes, he must know something about killing his daughter." Well, besides, I have investigated and found that he is a very honest person. He did not take revenge even when he was blinded. Under normal circumstances, such a person would never kill his own daughter with his own hands. The only thing that cannot be What I understand is..." Qingming stopped, he looked at the big tengu who was sitting upright with no expression on his face, and knew that he was already drunk.

"Then?" Big Tengu said calmly.

Qingming chuckled, leaned close to his ear, and said, "The only thing I can't understand is why you are so cute."

Datengu didn't speak, he pursed his lips in a drunken state, and then stretched out his hand to Seimei as if he understood something.So this time Qingming picked him up, then leaned close to his lips, and kissed him lightly, "It's okay for you to be on top, I thought it would be too difficult at the beginning, but if you like it..." Ootengu blinked, showing a puzzled but pretending to be calm expression, Seimei looked at him, and felt that the bad mood of being harassed by the Minister of Nagashima just disappeared, it was so cute.

"I'll teach you little by little."

The author has something to say: Big Tengu: Don’t like it, don’t want it, refuse it.I didn't mean that, stop! [flapping wings, angry face]

Seimei: After tying up the little bird, move on its own [pun intended]
