[Onmyoji] Chronicles of Heianjing

Chapter 9

Hashihime broke the situation after a long silence, she asked, "Anything else?"

"Indeed," Seimei nodded. He had been to Mishima's house before coming to Ujigawa, and the atmosphere there was too clean. There was no death breath after death, which was very abnormal.It was as if someone had erased all traces. Seimei wasn't sure whether he made an accidental mistake or could have left a loophole, but no matter what it was, it was a provocation to him, "Mishima's death is not normal."

"There is a price to be paid for summoning the gods." Qiao Ji replied indifferently.

"I see." Qingming felt that she didn't want to talk about this question. Forcibly summoning the gods must sacrifice her own life. It is impossible for Mishima to die tragically in her own home the day after the summoning.

Mishima told Noguchi that he wanted to revive Haruko, but any onmyoji with common sense would know that reviving someone is something against the heavens, and it would be a big threat to the onmyoji and the world. Noguchi has begged so many onmyoji You should also understand this later.Seimei observed Noguchi, he had almost completely given up on resurrecting his wife at that time, and did not go to any onmyoji, but why did he believe in him without hesitation after meeting Mishima? And quickly activated the formation at Uji Bridge.

Noguchi is not a hasty person. He was very cautious when looking for onmyoji before. He had learned about every onmyoji in Kyoto and only looked for those who were capable.Reviving a loved one is a big deal. Logically speaking, Noguchi should never believe in an onmyoji who he doesn't understand at all, or even an onmyoji he has never heard of.And Mishima, an onmyoji with low mana and no shikigami, has no ability to summon gods at all.

And the most important thing is why Mishima summoned Uji Hashihime. They are two people who have nothing to do with each other, which is completely incomprehensible.

Nothing is normal.

"I have a private matter with Ootengu, so you?" Qiao Ji pulled Qingming out of her thoughts, her meaning of seeing off the guests was very clear, Qingming always felt that every word she said carried away a strong sense of blame, maybe it was Ootengu The fact that Tengu was injured might be due to something else, but to be honest he couldn't guess.

"Then, goodbye."

Seimei smiled reassuringly at Ootengu, he didn't bother about Hashihime's bad tone, and left the illusion decisively.This changed Hashihime's eyes and gave her a new understanding of Seimei's abilities.Ootengu followed her gaze, and also looked at the clearing where Seimei left. He was not satisfied with the fact that Ujihashihime had just changed the subject, "What happened to Hachiman and you?"

"Why do you have to be obsessed with this?" Qiao Ji said puzzled, "Maybe you should care about other things, anything is better than this crap."

"You are evading my question, I don't like it." Daitengu frowned, obviously, his ability to read words and expressions is very bad, "the rumors also have a certain basis, Hachiman God has indeed left you. Why did he do this, I wonder know-"

"How long have you known him?" Hashihime interrupted him, "Whether it's Hachiman or Seimei, you'd better not get involved in their affairs."

"Sorry." He shook his head, "You know it's impossible."

"You are really stubborn." Qiao Ji treats Otengu like a mother who thinks out of her way and treats her serious and rigid son. She never deliberately cares about or guides his life, and her help when Otengu encounters problems is also the same. So far.But no one can deny that she was an integral part of his upbringing. "In fact, it's good to have someone to discipline, but I obviously don't have the ability to guide the cubs."

"I'm not a cub."

"Maybe?" Hashihime remained skeptical, much to the frustration of Ootengu, "If you can take care of yourself, why don't you look at the wound on your back, and this—" Hashihime ponders the words, "Attractive Curse. It seems that after following Seimei Abe, you made a lot of mess. Why didn't you leave early? Didn't your obsession find another target with the disappearance of Seimei Abe? We all know that they are not alone. Or what in your heart Hasn't the righteousness you thought of been shattered?"

"You know the outside world well?" Ootengu asked back, he grasped the key point of the matter, "Then you should also know that I am not his shikigami now, and your scolding of him at the beginning made us think that you knew even Not much, but it doesn't look like it now, you are deliberately guiding him, why?"

"Of course I have my reasons."

"I never thought about following him all the time, but now I think I can give it a try, maybe there will be unexpected gains." The big tengu couldn't understand her behavior, she behaved very contradictory, which made the big tengu instinctively confront her, It's very childish, but sometimes it's useful to ask, "What the hell do you know?"

"Don't go too far, Big Tengu." Qiao Ji put away her cynical look, looked at him seriously and seriously, and said, "Enough is enough, I won't spoil you."

"It's a conversation that doesn't make any sense."

Ootengu turned and left, only Qiao Ji was left in the illusion.She rarely sees a big tengu get angry, but she heard that when a cub loses his temper, it takes an unimaginable long time, but she has no intention of chasing him now to coax him.She knew that Ootengu wanted an explanation, but it was impossible.

"You still gave him a hint."

"This is exactly what you hoped for." Hashihime did not welcome the arrival of the new guest, "I don't want to say anything about your bad taste, but as I told Otengu, whether it is Hachiman or Seimei, they I don't want him involved in anything."

"Fate is unpredictable, and once the game starts, there is no way to stop the game. I believe you understand the rules clearly."

"I know, you don't need to deliberately remind me." Qiao Ji was silent.

"The only function of things that are useless is to get in the way. Now that the prey has been hooked, there is no need to keep the bait."

_

Shiyasu Noguchi committed suicide.

Seimei was playing chess with Ootengu when he heard the news, and he had almost no reaction to this matter.This is an ending that he has known for a long time. He can understand from the conversation between Noguchi and Haruko. The only thing that is beyond his expectation is that Noguchi's action will be so fast.

"Noguchi's mother is crazy. In order to prevent Noguchi from being buried with Haruko, she even overturned her daughter-in-law's grave." Zashiki Doji chatted with Seimei, and she seemed a little surprised by this incident, "She forbids people to touch her son's body." He was not allowed to bury the dead body. Yuriko held Noguchi's dead body all day long, and the dead body rotted quickly in summer, you know the smell—"

"Stop! Don't talk anymore!" Firefly, who was sitting next to the Sakura demon and eating fish with relish, interrupted her, and picked up a dandelion and threw it at Zashiki Doji, "No one knows this taste! Really Yes, you can't let sister Sakura and I eat fish!"

"Huh? You're grilling fish in the garden again. The stingy monster only knows how to occupy Sakura's good skills all day long, so give me a share too soon!"

Zashiki Doji and Hotaru, who had finished eating the grilled fish, both looked at Sakura Demon who was smiling helplessly. She still had two grilled fish in her hand. They looked at each other, and sparks flew everywhere.

"Sister Sakura!"

"cherry!"

Seeing the two little monsters rushing towards them, the Sakura Demon subconsciously hid behind, and the two monsters collided into each other.Yingcao quickly got up from the ground, pretending to be pitiful, trying to catch the last two fish.And Zashiki Doji simply sat on the ground and couldn't get up. The Sakura Demon held back a smile, touched Yingcao's little head, and said apologetically to Zashiki Doji, "These two are just for Seimei-sama and Ootengu, Nine Lives The cat has already gone to catch fish, I'll cook it for you when she comes back, okay?"

"it is good."

"Then can you help me get the fish to them?"

"Okay, okay!"

Zashiki Doji was blushed by Sakura Demon's gentle tone, she handed both fish to Seimei, Seimei looked at the little monster amusedly, and gave her his own fish, which made Zashiki Doji's face even redder He took the fish and walked away shyly.

"Eat the fish, Sakura's craftsmanship is very good."

Seimei handed the fish to Otengu, Otengu hesitated for a while looking at the fish, but still took the grilled fish under Seimei's expectant eyes.He took a small bite and thought it tasted pretty good.The grilled fish of the cherry blossom demon is really good, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, very attractive.Big Tengu quickly finished the grilled fish. In fact, he was not used to eating in front of others. Seimei kept looking at him, which made him feel very strange.It's not shyness or anything like that, but it's a very weird emotion anyway.

It's puzzling.

"How about that onmyoji?"

"There is no progress," Seimei was a little troubled, "The other party handled it too cleanly, and I can't find the reason. There is no reason for what Mishima did, and everything is completely irrelevant."

"To attract your attention." Big Tengu said with certainty.

"Huh?" Qingming paused for a moment holding the hand of the chess piece, "Why do you say that?"

"Although it seems meaningless, his purpose is very strong and clear." Daitengu thought of Qiao Ji's beautiful face, and he didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark.He had a hunch that if he wanted to know the truth about Hachiman's disappearance, he had to follow Seimei.

Although undeniably, the guy is a troublesome complex.

"There is no need to investigate any further."

"I see."
