[Onmyoji] Chronicles of Heianjing

"I did a fortune-telling for myself. This is my fate." Qingming suddenly lost interest while holding the white porcelain teacup. He clapped his hands lightly and asked the cherry blossom demon to exchange for fine wine.Although Tamamomae was a little curious about his sudden exchange of tea for wine, he didn't speak, just looked at Seimei quietly.Seimei was used to seeing him, Sakura whispered a few words in his ear, Qingming nodded, Sakura smiled and brought side dishes and grilled fish, the sauce was placed on a white plate, and Qingming poured wine .

"It's dexterous." Yuzao looked at the back of the cherry blossom demon, thinking about something in his heart.

Qingming took a sip of his wine and acted casually. He said, "Everything has to follow the rules of the world, but I don't want to do that now. In the short 30 years, I have done many things. But this is not for myself. However, because of the appearance of that Tamamo, there are two roads ahead of me."

"Which one did you choose?" Although Tamazamo asked questions, he already knew Qingming's choice, so Qingming didn't answer.

It's starting to get cloudy and it's going to rain.The green frog came to the surface again, and the broken lotus leaf was about to sink under its weight, it was so heavy.There are other plankton and insects, however the fish in the pond don't like yard life and won't do anything until it rains.Hotaru guesses that this is a characteristic of fish, but Zashiki Doji sneers and says it's just that they eat too much fish.Plankton is devoured by fish, frogs eat insects and crush lotus leaves, others ignore it, so it stands at the top of the food chain.

Seimei has been smiling from the beginning, but his eyes are very cold. He continued, "You know Uji Hashihime and Hachiman God." Don't like that last name.Seimei expected his reaction. Seimei continued, "Tamazamae, who came from another world, made an agreement with Ujihashi Hime. I don't know what Ji is doing for the time being."

"A boring agreement." Yuzao took a sip of wine before filling himself another glass. Bad weather or noisy frogs made him feel irritable, but it would never be the young man in front of him who needed a beating.Seimei’s wine is very strong, Yuzao hasn’t drunk this kind of wine for a long time, his life is dull after the dark day, a heavy rain calms him down, and also extinguishes all his anger, even if he is not reconciled. "What do you need me to do? As you think, I will help you." I will help you, not only because you are her son, but also because your appearance is like strong wine, with a bad personality hidden under a gentle appearance Make people crazy.

"If a phoenix wants to be reborn, it must die first." Qingming replied.

Yuzao didn't like other people saying such vague words, he felt helpless about it, but since Seimei has always spoken in this tone, and this time he came on his own initiative, so he had no choice but to cater to Seimei.The first time you meet a junior, you should play with him with [-]% patience. Yuzao recited this sentence a hundred times silently in his heart, and he finally felt more at ease.

"If you want to obtain eternal life, you don't have to be so troublesome. I can roughly guess Uji Hashihime's plan. As long as Daitengu kills that...Tamazao at the end, it still feels strange to kill himself or something. After all, the name is the same, why not?" Just use 'that' instead." Yuzao thought for a while, and then said, "He only needs to kill her, that is, he has solved a big problem for the rules, and it is easy to become a god. The same is true for you. I don't You feel that you can't defeat her with your strength, what are you worried about? I'm curious about this."

"It's a big tengu." Seimei sighed, rarely showing other emotions in front of Yuzao, he looked away unnaturally, and his tone was a little awkward, "You should be very clear about the matter between me and him."

Yu Zaoqian's heart is really depressed now, don't be nephew, how is he clear?What does he know?So Tamazamae replied indifferently and honestly, "I don't know."

Seimei's hand holding the wine glass obviously paused, and he frowned, as if he was surprised by Yuzao's words.Seimei sighed again, and began to explain his words, "Then, the most basic thing you should know is that I am with Ootengu."

"I know." Tamazamo said disapprovingly, he did not reject the two being together, he has no gender, and other monsters don't care about it.Besides, Heianjing has been very popular in recent years, and he has become accustomed to it.

"Uji Hashihime wants him to become a god, and so do I. Although the monster itself has a long enough lifespan, after all, Uji Hashihime can be regarded as the mother of a big tengu. As a spouse, I have to take care of the mother's needs occasionally. In fact, these things are not difficult, and there are many benefits to the big tengu." Seimei smiled softly when he mentioned the big tengu, as if he had the whole world, he looked at Yuzao, and then said, "You can put This is considered a deal, if you need it, I can give you what you want, of course there may be some things I can't do."

"This won't be a deal. I don't want to repeat it any longer. To be honest, you will wear out the good temper I have cultivated for dozens of years. What do you need from me?"

"I've got the mermaid meat and the phoenix fire. I won't really die if I eat the mermaid meat, but the formation won't make it easy for me. Even if the phoenix fire is reborn, it will take a certain amount of time. I don't know When will I wake up, or in what state will I wake up, so under many difficulties, I have to entrust the rest to you, my mother who trusts me the most." Qingming picked up mushrooms with chopsticks and dipped some in the sauce , and then chew slowly in your mouth.Sakura Demon's culinary skills are getting more and more exquisite, he thought so.

"Why me? Daitengu or other shikigami, I believe they are loyal to you."

"Because I want to give him one last chance." Qingming looked at the big tengu standing by the pond in the courtyard. Although he still looked like a teenager, he didn't look much different at first glance.Qingming showed a doting expression, and he said, "This is the first time that things are out of my control, but I am always looking forward to the follow-up development. I want to give him the right to choose, so when he really thinks that I am dead, no matter what Whether he is waiting for my next reincarnation, or chose someone else, please take care of him."

"I understand." Yuzao nodded, "Your mother told me that." The image of that gentle woman reappeared, and the picture of her holding her son and shaking the silver bell was always a knot in Yuzaoqian's heart.Those old people have passed away with time, he made himself forget the past, but when he saw Qingming, he couldn't help but start to think about it again.His little witch and children, the pain of losing a lover is not an easy thing, and he doesn't agree with Seimei's thoughts. "You love him deeply?"

"Yes, so I'm giving him a chance." Seimei said very seriously, he wanted to try to leave the choice to the big tengu, no matter what he did, it would be a new life for himself and the big tengu. "Thank you very much for your help."

"Maybe you should think about this matter carefully. When his curse disappears, but you are told that you have died, the pain is unimaginable. Even if he knows that you will go to a new reincarnation, but when he wants to understand that this is what he wants Maybe you will give up after saying it's unfair, no one wants to suffer the pain of parting from life and death." Tamazamae analyzed the pros and cons for his nephew, hoping he can be more sober.

"So I hope he can choose carefully."

"I don't agree with it, and I can't understand it." Tamazamae still expressed his point of view.

"It doesn't matter to me."

The two fell into a long silence, neither of them willing to speak first.Tamamomae wants him to change his mind, he can feel his love for Ootengu but doesn't understand what he's doing, it's cruel to both of them no matter what the ending is.And Qingming just drinks quietly, and his thoughts will not change with others.

It started to rain.

The pattering rain wet Ootengu's sleeves, but he still stood by the pond without moving.Seeing this, Seimei got up, made an apologetic expression to Tamazamae, and went into the house to look for an umbrella.Seimei was very fast, as soon as he found the umbrella, he went to cover the big tengu from the rain, took out a handkerchief to wipe the rain from his face and hair, and then tapped his forehead as if scolding a child, "It's all wet. "

"It's nothing." Big Tengu frowned, and didn't stop Seimei's movement. Although he felt that it was too intimate, he still let him dry his hair.The frog croaked again, too loudly.He glanced at Qingming again, trying to push down the screaming frog with the wind blade without leaving any traces, but Qingming pinched his face suddenly, causing him to miss the blow with the wind blade.

"Don't make trouble," Qingming had noticed his small movements a long time ago, and felt very helpless about this. He held the hand of the big tengu and said with a smile, "Go and change clothes."

"Okay." Big Tengu nodded expressionlessly.The frog jumped to his feet. It seemed to be venting its dissatisfaction, and the sound became more and more ugly, like a popped bubble.Ootengu didn't really have any thoughts, he just grabbed Seimei's soft and warm hand.

"Please wait a moment." Seimei apologized again when passing by Tamamo, and handed him the umbrella.Tamazamo looked at Seimei amusedly, knowing that this meant seeing off the guests.Sure enough, it was completely different from the rumors. Gentleness and elegance only existed in the crazy fantasies between girls and nobles in Kyoto.

Yuzao opened the umbrella and stepped on the wet soil, the cherry blossom demon was already waiting at the door.Tamamomae stopped walking, and looked back at the backs of Seimei and Otengu.The long corridor stretched their shadows very long, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was blowing so that the candles on both sides of the corridor kept shaking. Yuzao remembered that a long time ago, there was a person who treated him patiently like this All the softness is on display.
