I, the young onmyoji

"Who is Xiaobai?"

"My parents bribed me to take my place and be eaten by monsters..."

Halfway through, the child felt something was wrong, turned around and looked behind him, and found a stranger squatting next to him, staring at the altar in front of him as angry as himself.

"who are you!?"

"Ah, I'm an Onmyoji from Heianjing. Don't stop. Keep talking. Didn't you just say it well?"

"Onmyoji? Are you Onmyoji-sama?"

"That's right, that's right, don't listen, keep telling me, that child is the one who sacrificed to the mountain god in your place, then you should be the son of Toyama, the replaced person came out so easily, if found out But it’s very troublesome.”

Changran looked at the child with a smile.

But the child didn't seem to care about the fact that he was discovered. Instead, he suddenly knelt down in front of Changran.

"Are you really an Onmyoji? Then please save Xiaobai!"

Steel-Winged Tengu: 16. Blackie and White

The name of the chosen wealthy businessman's child is Xiao Hei... Don't complain, just think of it as Xiao Hei.

After Xiao Hei was selected, his parents were very desperate because they could not disobey the order of the mountain god, and the residents here would not let them disobey, because the residents worked together to persecute the selected family in order to ensure their own safety. Handing over the children, in their hearts, human beings cannot defy the gods, so they can only force the selected families to do that. This kind of thing is very normal in this era.

But Xiao Hei's parents did not give in. They came up with the idea of ​​letting someone else take the place of their child.

There is a child in this town who is regarded as a 'monster', that is, Xiaobai.

For some unknown reason, this little white girl has had white hair since she was born, so she was regarded as a monster and feared by the people in the town (actually it was just albinism). After her mother raised her with difficulty, she became Because he had been treated unfairly by the people in the town for a long time, he fell seriously ill and fell down.

After that, Xiaobai lived alone, and then met Xiaohei, who was from a rich family.

Xiao Hei was still underage at that time, and he was a curious little kid. After hearing people in the town talking about another 'monster', he wanted to see what the 'monster' looked like, but when he actually saw the 'monster' ’, he felt that this little girl with pale hair, whom people called a ‘monster’, was very cute, and he fell in love with her.

In the following time, Xiao Hei would always secretly run to Xiao Bai and bring her some helpful things in life. Xiao Bai, who had always been treated indifferently by people, received such care for the first time. I fell in love with Xiao Hei in my heart.

Then, on the day when Xiao Hei came of age, he was suddenly chosen and became the chosen child.

Xiao Hei was desperate. He clearly thought that he was 13 years old and an adult, so he could leave this place with Xiao Bai and elope together, but he didn't expect that it would turn out like this.

He thought about running away, but before that, his home was surrounded by the residents of the town.

In this desperate situation, the wealthy businessman found Xiaobai. He was very aware of what had happened between his son and this 'monster' over the years. He had never caused any trouble to this 'monster'. Now he could just let this 'monster' go. 'To replace his son.

So Xiaobai was persuaded, and was persuaded by the words "Since you like my son so much, then go sacrifice to the mountain god on my son's behalf. You don't want him to die either."

Xiaobai was put into the sedan chair, and Xiaohei was carried to the altar.

Xiao Hei thought about coming out and telling everyone that it was not him, but once this situation was exposed, the wealthy businessman and his family who tried to deceive the mountain god would be punished, so he did not dare to go out.

That's why he hid in the dark and looked at Xiaobai in the sedan.

"So that's it...it's really a sad story."

Changran touched his chin and sighed after hearing Xiao Hei explain the complete process.

"Why don't you tell Shinano Mamoru? You know, Shinano Mamoru is sent by Heian Kyo. If you tell him, he should report the matter to Heian Kyo, and then an Onmyoji will be sent over to find out the situation. ."

"This is a sacrifice to the mountain god here. Shinano Mamoru has no right to control it."

Yes, it turns out that the locals don't want others to interfere. After so many years of seeking death, they don't have any doubts at all, and they don't let others interfere. It's really amazing.

"Then why do you ask me? Although I said I am an Onmyoji, Shinano Mamoru won't care about it, so I shouldn't care about it either."

"Because you are different from them!"

"Oh? What's the difference?"

"You don't look like someone who averse to trouble."

"This reason is very strange..."

Changran was speechless.

"Although the reason is very strange, I really have to take care of this matter. After all, I am an Onmyoji. This so-called mountain god does not look like a mountain god in any way. Instead, he looks like a monster. Even if you don't ask me, I will I’ll check it out.”

"That mountain god is a monster!"

"Oh? Have you seen it?"

Changran saw Xiaohei with some interest.

"Yes, it's definitely because I've seen that guy's true face, that's why he suddenly chose me."

Xiao Hei is very determined.

"That's a huge monster that looks like a wolf!"

"A wolf monster...that should be fine."

"Really! Can you save Xiaobai!"

"Well, if nothing happens, it shouldn't be a problem. After all, I have a very reliable guy behind me."

Pointing behind him, he patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder.

"I'll take this next step."

He stood up and looked at the petite figure behind the gauze curtain on the altar in the assembly center.

"But I really didn't expect that at such a young age, you would actually want to elope with the person you like. Do you know how difficult it is to elope in this era?"

"You're not so young! I'm an adult now! I'm a man. What's wrong with running away with the person you like? People here don't like Xiaobai anyway. I might as well take her away from here and go to a place where there is no one else. Go somewhere where people can see us!”

Xiaohei's retort was selectively ignored by Changran. However, according to the age of the other party, he was indeed an adult. After all, he had passed the Yuanfu ceremony. He was probably only a little younger than Changran. Changran's Yuanfu The ceremony was relatively late, only at the age of 13, so they were almost the same age.It's just that Changran's height of 1.8 meters really doesn't look like he is only 13 years old.

But Chang Ran really admires Xiao Hei's courage to elope with the person he likes. He is brave enough and romantic. Unfortunately, it is a bit unrealistic. It is probably the result of emotional drive. If he grows up a little more, Maybe it can really be done, but not now.

Smiling and shaking his head slightly, he ignored the angry Xiao Xiaohei and looked at the figure in the gauze curtain.

"Well, now that the matter has come to an end, it's time for me to go check it out."

According to the saying here, today is the gathering before the sacrifice, and the real sacrifice will be tomorrow. In that case, the mountain god will not appear until tomorrow. Changran plans to go to the sacrifice site tonight to check, such as setting up a trap or something. If it's a relatively simple guy, you can easily solve it yourself. If it's more troublesome, then use a trap to trap the opponent, and then let Ibaraki finish it with one punch.

Pat Xiao Hei on the shoulder again.

"Just wait here and Xiaobai will come back well."

After saying that, he turned around and left, heading to the place of sacrifice.

Steel-Winged Tengu: 17. 'Mountain God'

The place of worship is on a mountain about a few kilometers northeast of the Shinano River. Not far from the edge of the mountain is the famous Suwa Lake.

There is the very famous Suwa Taisha Shrine.

Suwa Taisha Shrine is a famous shrine throughout Japan. From a modern perspective, it is one of the oldest shrines in Japan, with tens of thousands of branches throughout Japan.There is the upper shrine in Kamisuwa and the lower shrine in Shimosuwa, which respectively enshrine the gods of war, farming, hunting, and wind, headed by Takemikata God.

Changran, who learned about this situation, expressed his confusion. Why didn't the residents go to the shrine where a powerful god lived next to him?

Is it because you feel that the Mountain God and the Wind God are not related and cannot be controlled?In short, Changran could not understand the thoughts of the locals.

But since the locals are too lazy to do such things, then I am too lazy to take care of it and just concentrate on finding ways to deal with this fake mountain god and real monster.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, there is the passage leading to the Yamagami Shrine.

On both sides of the passage are two stone statues of dogs. At first glance, they look like foxes, but if you look closely, you can see that they are not foxes, but dogs with knives in their mouths.

Gods related to dogs, Changran thought of the possible appearance of the original mountain god in this place.

Then I thought about what Xiao Hei just said as if the monster was a wolf-like guy. From this point of view, he could really pretend to be a mountain god related to dogs. After all, wolves and dogs are still very similar.

Walk up the stone steps to the Yamagami Shrine above.

As I walked, I observed the surroundings. There was not as much evil spirit as I imagined. Instead, it was very clean, as if it really was what a shrine should look like.

But... it's too clean. There's no smell of life at all. Except for plants, I don't see any animals, not even insects. This is wrong. Although it's autumn, there aren't any insects. They are all dead and dormant.

From this point of view, it is really a big problem.

"Firefly grass."

"exist!"

Qin Xin has returned to the mask, while Yingcao is still in his collar as before.

At Changran's call, fireflies emerged from the collar.

Speaking of Yingcao, Chang Ran admired her very much. Qin Xin said that when she stayed in that place, she was pressed until she foamed at the mouth and passed out, and even flattened twice, but she still dared to stay in that place.

So while Changran felt a little sorry, she still admired how much she looked like a mobile nest, or how much she liked that place.

No, now is not the time to talk about that.

"Yingcao, can you feel anything wrong?"

As a nature-like elf, Yingcao's perception of unknown auras is much stronger than Changran's, Yingcao's brand radar!Firefly brand wayfinder!Very useful!

"Lord Changran, I didn't feel anything."

"In this case, that guy is probably not at the shrine now."

Changran said, speeding up his pace and heading towards the shrine above.

After passing through the torii gate, I came to the vestibule of the shrine and found that this was just a very small shrine. The shrine room was only about 15 square meters in size. At the door of the shrine, there was a small altar, which should have been used for sacrifices in previous years. , on the edge of the altar are two stone statues of dogs similar to the ones below.

This is the general situation.

"It is true that there is no evil spirit and no spiritual power. It seems that the mountain god is not here yet and will not come here until tomorrow."

Changran said and took out five arrows from the arrow pot behind his back.

"If you weren't here, it would be convenient for me to arrange it."

Place five arrows in hidden corners around the altar, forming a five-pointed star shape.

It has to be said that Changran likes to use this kind of spiritual restraint more and more, especially the move of using the spiritual restraint in the spiritual veins and then using the spiritual power to explode to attack the opponent. In such a place with developed spiritual veins in the mountains, , it’s simply not easy to use.

However, the growth of spiritual power is also necessary. If you grow to the point where you can use your own spiritual power to directly impact the opponent, then Masaran will be on the same level as Abe Seimei.

But how to put it, it is really difficult.

After placing the five arrows, Changran observed the surrounding environment again, and after finding that there was no problem, he retreated first.

After returning to the inn, Changran had another problem, that is, what to do about sleeping tonight.

First of all, Qin Xin will always be with him, and it is impossible to let her stay away from him, so she should be holding her arms as before. And if this is the case, Changran can basically think of what kind of actions Ibaraki will make. Well, ever since that guy turned into what he is now, he has become more and more radical, and he has become more and more bold to stick to his body, especially when Qin Xin appears behind him, he is just like a pussy. He quarreled with Qin Xin and even stuck it on himself.

But I didn't regard her as a woman at all. Every time I saw the other person pounce on her, the thought of a 2-meter-old man pounced on her was really hard to accept.

But if you keep her out, she will definitely make a fuss, and the entire inn will probably be burned down by her.

"So, no one can disturb my sleep tonight. Both of you, please sleep on the quilt next to me!"

So each of them took a step back and let Ibaraki enter the room, but they were not allowed to touch him. Naturally, the same was true for Qin Xin. Like Ibaraki, he had to sleep alone on the same quilt, and he was also not allowed to touch himself.

If it was just Ibaraki or Qin Xinzai, neither of them would be willing to agree, but now that the two of them are in a hostile relationship, they simply agreed.

So Changran was very happy, let Yingcao nestle on his chest as before, and lay down to sleep.

Then the next morning, when I woke up, I found that my hands were numb again.

# signs are all over Chang Ran’s forehead.

"You two! Can't you just be obedient for once?"

It took me some time to get my hands back to my senses when I woke up in the morning, but what was better today was that the fireweed no longer became flat.

After his body fully recovered, Chang Ran simply ate something in the inn, and then went out fully armed. The time for the sacrifice was coming soon, and before that, he had to go to the shrine and stay guard.

But when he came to the shrine, he found that Xiao Hei had also come to the shrine and was hiding in a corner. He wanted to go over to look for him, but he happened to be at the beginning of the sacrifice.

The residents carried the huge sedan all the way up from the foot of the mountain, placed it in the center of the small altar, bowed to the shrine, and then evacuated.

Seeing this scene, Chang Ran had to stop going to Xiao Hei. Instead, he squatted on a branch and quietly observed the changes around the shrine to see when the so-called 'mountain god' would appear.
