[Onmyoji] Chronicles of Heianjing

Qingming didn't do anything when she saw her crying. The minister in Long Island didn't coax his daughter this time, but stroked her hair and shook his head in silence.

"A lot of people were harmed by being ignorant when I was young." Qingming stood in front of her, flapping his bat fan again and again, "How did you know him?"

"It was when I was a child," Nagashima Asaka wiped away her tears. She glanced at her mother, blushed and said awkwardly, "I met him when I went to the countryside. It was the time when I got lost in the mountains. He took me to find my home." At the beginning, he was going to scare me so that I would run out quickly, but he was very good-looking, and I was not afraid of him, so there was nothing he could do.” Nagashima Asaka recalled, “When I was in the country, I traveled a lot. I haven't been in touch until a few months ago, when I met him again. Just...just..." Nagashima Chaoxiang couldn't continue, and Qingming didn't force it, and he knew about the rest of the matter.

"You..." The Minister of the Interior sighed, no matter how hard she asked about this a few days ago, she didn't say anything, but now she said it in front of an outsider.

"If you hadn't found out, it wouldn't be like this now." Nagashima Asaka said sullenly. The minister was a little disappointed and a little angry about it. It was very complicated, but in the end all the emotions mixed together and became calm.

"Don't you understand, Asahi?" said the minister, "Humans and monsters are different. You like a poor man, but I don't care. I have the ability to make him rich and give him a good life. You like a poor man." Disabled, lame, blind, I don't care, I still have your brothers, can support you for a lifetime, even if you want to be a concubine or fall in love with a woman, I don't care, as long as you want, I can do it for you. But monsters are the only ones who can’t, this is not prejudice. After a hundred years, no, after decades, you will be old and decrepit, but it will still be young and handsome, even if it really loves you, so what, can you live with it? Besides, Can you bear other people's contempt and bad words towards you? Asahi, I understand you, you can't stand it. My first reaction when I first heard the news was to kill it. You are too persistent, so hate me, I don't want the ending you get in the end to make you unimaginable."

Nagashima Asaka was stunned for a moment, but didn't cry.The Minister of the Interior sighed again, then smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to Qingming, "This time I have to thank you."

"Yeah." Seimei wasn't interested in other people's family misfortunes, but he thought of Ootengu and laughed softly. "There's trouble again."

"What's the trouble? Is there something we haven't taken into account? Qingming." The Minister of Internal Affairs asked, he was very sensitive to the word 'trouble', and he couldn't hear the slightest trouble.

"It's not your trouble, it's mine."

"Ah, Seimei. Now I know." The Minister of the Interior looked at Qingming with strange eyes, his small eyes rolled around, as if gloating, "What trouble do you have? After helping me solve my troubles, I am also very Willing to solve the trouble for you."

"You should still care about yourself." Qingming said indifferently.The Minister of Internal Affairs was not annoyed by his attitude, he was still smiling, his white and fat face was like a flower, and he did not have the sense of urgency of worrying about his own safety and the earnest and loving father's face when he taught his daughter a lesson.

"I understand. Is there anything else I can do, Seimei?"

"You can't help me, but I may need your daughter's help." Qingming looked at Asaka in the arms of Mrs. Nagashima. Asaka's body trembled slightly. Qingming glanced at her, and then said, "Mishima Onmyoji I left something for you."

Nagashima Asaka's face suddenly turned pale. She bit her lip and did not answer Qingming's question. Seimei showed a helpless expression and looked at the Minister of Nagashima.The Minister of Internal Affairs was puzzled, and he said, "I have already given you the fan, Qingming. Have you forgotten it?"

"No, it's not." Qingming shook his head, he still stared at Nagashima Asaka, "Ms. Mishima Onmyoji left something alone for Miss Chaoxiang."

The Minister of Long Island was very puzzled. He asked, "How do you know? He is dead."

"It is precisely because he left something like that to Miss Chaoxiang that his death was accelerated." Seimei said this fact flatly, Nagashima Asaka trembled even more, Seimei averted his gaze, and said to the Minister of Internal Affairs, "Although I don't know the plan of the person behind the scenes, she is responsible for what happened to you now. You met Mishima Onmyoji, but he had planned it long ago, but the person behind the scene didn't think of Mishima Onmyoji. Shima Onmyoji will fall in love with your daughter, Miss Asaka."

"There was a premeditated plan!" The minister in Long Island was shocked. He grabbed Qingming's sleeve and asked, "Why did the person behind the scenes do this? And how did you know?"

"I am also very puzzled, but today I saw the person behind the scenes." Seimei paused for a moment, "I was surprised when I heard you mention Mishima Shirakawa, because he is also related to another matter. I always thought Something is wrong with him, but the person is dead, and it doesn’t matter if I feel something is wrong, so I can only suppress the doubts in my heart.” He changed the subject, and his tone became severe, “Until today I saw the monster hiding behind the outer curtain, She proved many of my conjectures. And she told me that it was she who killed Mishima Shirakawa, and the reason was that he fell in love with Miss Asaka and left me a reminder."

"Since she has appeared in front of your eyes, why don't you just get rid of her!" The Minister of Long Island raised a very stupid question with no technical content.To be honest, Qingming really didn't want to answer, and didn't really want to protect them.

"The reason why I said it was a monster hiding behind the scenes was because I couldn't catch her real body. Your question is meaningless." Seimei's tone was not very good, "I stopped by Mishima on the way back today. A visit to Bai Chuan's house, all his things are neatly placed, except for one thing, that is a knife - Mishima Shirakawa's saber. That knife is the only one that can cut the strings of the demon luthier , the thing that stops his attack, it must be in Miss Asaka's hands."

"Yes." Nagashima Chaoxiang tremblingly pointed to her room, "The knife is in the room, and I have kept it safe. He told me not to tell anyone, if... if there is a crisis, I can deal with it." She took a deep breath. In a calm tone, he stood up as if he had made up his mind, "Did he die because he gave me this knife?"

"Yes, and no." Qingming glanced at the backyard inadvertently, and the black feathers floated slowly over. Qingming stretched out his hand to hold it, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Giving you this knife is indeed the cause of his death, but he was actually In order to cover up the cypress fan. It was a clue about the people behind the scenes. The people behind the scenes realized this. Although they didn't understand what it was, they chose to kill Mishima Shirakawa to avoid leaking more. No matter what happened in the end , as long as you use this knife, you can cover up the lost cypress fan in the past, and she will only think that I just know that Mishima Shirakawa is hers."

"What's the clue?" Nagashima Asaka asked.

"I don't know. But through that fan, I know another thing. As for what it is, it has nothing to do with you. It's always easier not to know than to know everything." Qingming replied, but he did I don't quite understand, but there is no rush for such a thing, he still has time, the important thing is that the matter should be resolved quickly, "Go and get the knife."

"Okay." Nagashima Asaka went into the room, rummaged around and took out a very simple and ordinary knife.When the Minister of Nagashima saw this thing, he felt a little incredible. Although it was indeed worn by Mishima Shirakawa all the time, it didn't look like a sharp weapon that could cut off monster weapons. He even doubted whether it could cut ordinary strings.

"Is Mishima Shirakawa lying to my daughter? If this knife is so powerful, why didn't he use it last time? I think he had a hard time fighting that monster last time, because he couldn't deal with his hand The guqin in the zither. That guqin is very powerful and can break Mishima Shirakawa’s defensive barrier. If this knife can cut off the strings of the zither as you said, why didn’t he use it last time?” The minister of Nagashima gave Seimei an analysis After looking at the situation and finished talking about my inner thoughts, I looked at him silently, wanting to hear what else he could say.Although it is a very critical moment, it is very happy to watch Seimei deflate occasionally.

"Didn't he use this saber last time?" Seimei took Mishima Shirakawa's saber from Nagashima Asaka and couldn't help chuckling, "I see..."

"What's the matter? So that's what happened, Qingming, did you see anything?" the Minister of Long Island asked.

"Yes." Qingming nodded, "The person behind the scenes didn't want the demon luthier to die, that's why Mishima Baichuan was merciful. I guess, the demon luthier has already been subdued by the person behind the scenes. This time, he came to kill you. The person behind the scenes must have helped him. But what puzzles me is that killing you is a very simple matter. Even if Mishima Shirakawa turns back and puts an enchantment on you in the end, leaving behind A knife, but looking at Miss Chaoxiang, you don't need it. Besides, you said that the violin of the demon luthier can break the barrier, so why didn't he do it quickly."

"Because the person behind the scenes is not sure." The minister's brain became flexible in an instant. He didn't care about Qingming's disrespect to him as usual, but pointed to Qingming and continued, "She needs you to find out three The clues left by Shimashirakawa. But why is it you, the demon luthier possessed Koichi Komatsu to lure me to find you, and your enemy manipulated my servant to let me see you expelling monsters? You. But you have to know that there are many onmyojis in Kyoto, Seimei." The ministers in Nagashima gradually became gloomy, and Qingming's eyes were not quite right.

Qingming didn't care about these things, he said, "Master Changdao is implying that everything happened because of me?" He gently shook the bat fan, his smile deepened, but it made people shudder, "If you really do it like you Said, I am afraid you will not live today. If there is no Mishima Shirakawa, you rashly provoke the demon luthier, what will be the consequences, you know very well in your heart."

"You mean that there is no onmyoji comparable to yours in this big capital?" The Minister of Nagashima laughed angrily. He clapped his hands and said a name—Michimitsu Ashiya.

It has been a long time since Ashiya Michimi has appeared, I really miss that feeling of meeting an opponent, Seimei sighed in his heart, but his face still had that cold expression, "Whatever you think, if you don't want me to stay, I will Then I left, you can go to Ashiya Doman now."

The minister in Long Island stopped talking. It was at this juncture, and he couldn't get angry, so he could only say aggrievedly, "I'm sorry, but my attitude is bad. Qingming, please don't mind."

"I won't mind." Qingming lowered his eyes, not knowing what to think about. The ministers in Long Island were afraid that he would quit if he said no, so he didn't mention anything else. "I hope you will pretend that everything is as usual and wait until he comes." , follow my arrangement."

"it is good."

At dusk, Koichi Komatsu, whose body was occupied by the demon luthier, brought Yuan Boya.He apologized to the Minister of Long Island. The Minister of Long Island was a little stiff. He suppressed the fear in his heart and scolded him a few words before changing the subject.Yuan Boya held a longbow and came to Qingming nervously, he was still very at a loss when Qingming suddenly came to him.

"Qingming, what happened?" Yuan Boya asked.

"That's right, Boya. Mr. Nagashima encountered some troubles. I was afraid that I would not be able to deal with the monsters alone, so I came to you." Qingming explained concisely.

"Well, Qingming, there are times when you can't handle it alone." Yuan Boya patted him on the shoulder, "You should take me with you when you go out, and I'm going to make a trip now. He will be the son-in-law of the Minister of Internal Affairs Now, I forgot what I used to do, and became respectful to me, pretending that I didn't know each other at all, although I haven't seen you for four years, but..."

"Boya, be careful!" Qingming's face changed, he quickly set up a barrier around the surrounding area, and chanted a curse.A talisman paper appeared in the air, it flew towards Koichi Komatsu, and the sound of the zither rang in his ears for a moment, and came out from the body of the demon luthier Koichi Komatsu. Yuan Boya launched an attack.

Yuan Boya was caught off guard by this turn of events, and Qingming was very helpless about it. He didn't expect Yuan Boya to expose the matter as soon as he arrived, and he didn't even have time to make a routine.

Seimei threw Mishima Shirakawa's saber to Yuan Boya, signaling him to cut the strings of the demon luthier, and to attract the demon luthier's attention by himself.The sound of the piano became more and more piercing, and Seimei accidentally cut his arm, and the blood stained a large area of ​​his white hunting clothes red, which was very dazzling.Qingming didn't care, and was about to continue, but the next second a big tengu fell from the sky, protected Qingming in his arms, and attacked the demon luthier.

The power of the Feather Blade Storm became stronger with the master's anger, the demon luthier was attacked negatively, and the Guqin was also scratched by Yuan Boya, unable to make a tune.The wind blade struck again, and he finally stopped.

"Qingming." The demon luthier coughed up blood, his white hair was blown into a mess by the wind, he was holding the piano, standing straight, his face expressionless, "It's a pity." He looked at the protected person in the barrier Nagashima Asaka, who was doing well, clenched her fists. "Human beings like you, what do you know?"

"You hurt him." Big Tengu frowned, he put Qingming down, and took a defensive posture.

"Tsk. Are you the ghost king who was subdued by the onmyoji? What a waste." The demon luthier forcefully cursed, "You must have discovered my identity a long time ago, Qingming. You, a human onmyoji, are really as cunning as she said Ah, like a fox. It's funny to see my jokes."

"Sorry, sorry..." Nagashima Chaoxiang cried again as she watched the demon luthier. She was about to walk out of the barrier, but was pulled back by her father, who held her head to prevent her from seeing the demon luthier.

"Crying again. It's so ugly, Chaoxiang." A gentle look appeared in the eyes of the demon luthier, but it was quickly covered by hatred, "I can't go on, Nagashima. I can't kill you, but you will die sooner or later, Someone will avenge this revenge for me."

"Wait!" Before Qingming could react, the demon luthier ended his life with the strings.The posture was very strange, his corpse didn't stay for too long before it turned into specks of fluorescent light and dissipated.Seimei showed an annoyed look, and said to Ootengu, "It's a kind of sacrifice."

"Oh?" Yuan Boya held the knife in a daze, "What's going on, Qingming."

Seimei removed the barrier, picked up the broken Guqin from the ground, sighed, and replied, "I found the demon luthier possessed by Koichi Komatsu, so I pushed him away and found Mishima Shirakawa, who is the Summon the saber left by the onmyoji of Uji Hashihime. It can cut the strings of the demon luthier and prevent him from attacking. I originally planned to step down and have a good talk with him, so that he can tell the clues of the person behind the scenes But I didn't expect you to mess things up as soon as you came. The demon luthier realized that he was found and started to attack. When he found that he couldn't beat him, he committed suicide. But this is not suicide, it is a kind of sacrifice. He put himself sacrificed her soul to the monster hiding behind the scenes, making her stronger."

"Sacrifice..." Yuan Boya repeated these two words several times, and he asked, "Do you already know everything?"

"That's not true, Boya. If I knew, why would I call her a monster hiding behind the scenes?" Qingming stroked the strings left by the monster luthier, with regret hidden in his eyes, "I will talk to you when I go back." Tell me what happened, Boya."

"Okay." Minamoto nodded. He looked at Koichi Komatsu's body, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Koichi is possessed, doesn't it mean that he is dead?" Seimei shook his head and said something Feel sorry.Yuan Boya sighed, and said something in a low voice, Seimei couldn't hear it clearly, because the big tengu stood in front of him.

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurts." Seimei replied with a smile.

"Delicate." Datengu commented, with a hint of disgust in his tone, but in the end he bandaged Seimei's wound.

"Is this thing over?" The minister in Nagashima who had been watching for a long time came over, but he didn't get too close because of the big tengu. He doesn't like monsters, and he doesn't like all monsters. This thing made him hate monsters even more.But now seeing the big tengu, a strange emotion rose in my heart.

"Master Long Island," Seimei naturally knew what was going on when he looked at him, he took out the talisman paper from his sleeve with some nerve-wracking, and pasted it on the forehead of the Minister of Long Island without saying a word.The ministers in Long Island didn't know what it was, and they didn't dare to move. Qingming explained, "I will put an enchantment on you and your wife and daughter to protect your lives."

Yuan Boya's mouth twitched, thinking that Qingming would really find reasons for his actions, but he spoke very seriously, and no one could see that he was lying.

"Qingming, what do you mean by what you just said?" The minister in Long Island was a little nervous. Although the demon luthier is gone, he just said that there are people behind him, "Why don't you post more? No, no, Qingming , Speaking of which, I still have a few houses in Kyoto, which are just next to my house. You and I hit it off right away, and I think we are natural good friends. Do you want to think about it and move here to live with me. "

Seimei smiled, rejected his proposal, and took Daitengu and Yuan Boya into the bullock cart.
