(1) Pingcheng New House

In the winter of the third year of Hetong, in a new house in the second town of the three main roads of Pingcheng Jingyoujing, Mo Ming and Yueye saw each sitting at their desks and looking at the books in their hands.

In the sixth month of living in Pingcheng Jing, I didn't get any news about Yanzhizi Amber and Penglai Yuzhi.

Because of the wealth provided by the moonlit night, there was little resistance to settling down. A small courtyard, not too big living room, of which there is only one study, considering the difference between men and women, two sets of desks are purchased.

"Ambe, the son of the swallow...... Kaguya, don't lie to me, does this kind of thing really exist?" Mo Ming threw the bamboo slip in his hand on the table in despair and fell on the table weakly.

By the way, Mo Ming's side is a homemade simple kotatsu, and the moonlit night is not treated there, just an ordinary desk.

The gods would not have been struggling with the heat of winter, but now they are wearing a long skirt made of fire rat fur, and their posture is naturally more relaxed and freehand. In terms of clothing, it is similar to the previous witch costume, and it is also a dress matching, but the style of pink and red is more set off the youthful temperament, and now it seems that it is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Although the two are now brother and sister in the setting, they have really not stepped out of the house for several months, and this title is only tentatively in parentheses, and it has not really been called.

Hearing Mo Ming's question, Yueye Jian also said as he replied before: "I don't know." ”

It is said that what rare treasures and other objects, I am afraid it is easier to stay in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty to find them than to find them here, but this Yan's son Amber is different.

Zi Anbei, is a unique custom here, originally the mother in the hand of the snail in the hand of childbirth, hold it tightly to help the production force, and then the custom gradually spread, Xu is to seek a good omen of mother and child safety, so this object is called Zi Anbei.

But that's the human sub-amber, not the swallow's. How can a swallow have a sub-ambe? It can't be a seashell that they bring back from the sea to build a nest, right?

This suspicion was naturally denied by the moonlit night.

Mo Ming just saw the "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Chronicle Collection" was bought from the worship of the Saidi Temple, the "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Picture Scroll" mural in the Todai Temple in Pingchengjing is very famous, and it is said to be from the hands of the practicing monks, and the collection of the Monsters bought by the Saida Temple is a rough description of the monsters in the text - unfortunately, this is probably the closest to the book of Fangshu Zhiwei classics that can be bought by the people of Pingtou, and further up, "Hetu", "Luoshu", "Taiyi", I'm afraid it is difficult to be in.

The reason why I studied these is because Mo Ming really doesn't think that the so-called "Swallow's Son Amber" is something that will appear out of thin air, swallows are oviparous rather than viviparous, but those immortals and monsters that have been cultivated are different, could this so-called Swallow's Son Amber be a swallow-like monster, something left behind by borrowing from human customs?

However, there is not the slightest useful information in the book.

"No, I have to go to Todaiji Temple and talk to the host again. "The more serious a person is, the more Mo Ming can chat with this kind of person as he likes - the current relationship between the host of Dongda Temple and the host of Xida Temple and Mo Ming is very good.

"I'm going to have an omelet meal tonight. ”

"It's a hassle. "It's not about cooking, it's about getting the ingredients.

"So, eat pork chop rice?"

"Let's have omelet rice with miso soup. "It's also one of the favorite pairings of the gods.

"Good. ”

......

......

(2) Tadayuki Kamo

To say that in the decrees in recent years, Mo Ming's most hated is the ban on meat, but this is still a decree that is being popularized among the nobles, and there are not many rich people among the commoners who frequently buy meat, once all the nobles stop eating, the supply will plummet after there is no demand, and presumably in the end, only through hunting can you open some meat.

The current situation is not so pessimistic, there are still a lot of meat food on the market, Mo Ming has a frail sister in the household registration of Mo Ming, for her health considerations, she has to buy some tonic body from time to time, the main butchers in the east and west markets have heard of it, and they are naturally not afraid of violating the law and offending the upper class.

In the spring of the fourth year of Hetong, Mo Ming has already started his own business plan.

As a modern person with a sense of advanced business across the ages, what I urgently need is nothing more than the first pot of gold - the friendship sponsorship from the gods, and the future will naturally be smooth.

Of course, there are a few points to be aware of.

First, it is not a business for the purpose of making money, and profits and losses do not need to be taken too seriously.

Second, where there are interests, there will be competition, and where there is competition, conflicts will inevitably arise, and try not to rob the business of such a large monopoly in the city and Beijing.

Third, the hype is very important, you need to spread your demand for Yanzhizi Amber and Penglai Yuzhi, even if it is a strange commodity to sit on the ground and start the price, the important thing is to find the whereabouts first.

With a phased plan, the next step is the talent reserve. Mo Ming has been walking around Pingcheng Jingzhong since last month, looking for it.

Pingchengjing said that it is not big, go out in the morning, come back at noon to cook, go out in the afternoon, and come back in the evening, almost two-thirds of the boundary of this city.

Walking in the middle of the street with a lot of money, I found that it was not easy to find a few clever teenagers, and the new capital had just been established, and many people from household to household were not familiar with each other, and they would not greet each other when they met.

It's been nearly half a year since I stayed in Heijojing, and unlike the rush in the previous years, I was rushing towards the destination without stopping every moment, and it was rare to stay in one place for so long, although Tianzhu also stayed in the temple for a few months, but the whereabouts of the stone bowl at that time were clear.

Now? Yan Zhizi Anbei and Penglai Yuzhi, no one has heard of the existence of these things, and when they see it on a moonlit night, they refuse to help at all, so they can't wait all day? After half a year or a year, they are familiar with these people?

While he was thinking, someone patted Mo Ming on the shoulder.

When he turned around and saw a young man in a hunting suit looking at him with a smile, Mo Ming was shocked in his heart.

The onmyoji in formal clothes is a person in the system, and he has never dealt with people in the yin-yang liao, why did he find himself?

"You ......"

"In Shimogamo Tadayuki. "Slightly.

"Onmyoji?"

"From the seven high-grade Yale Xiaoyunjun, in fact, he is an official at the same level as the lower, and when he saw you wandering in the street, he came to say hello to you. ”

Mo Ming thought quickly in his mind - the grade of the official position can't explain everything, the rank of the Lile Division and the Yin Yang Liao is completely different from the top of the seven ranks, the newly established Yin Yang Liao in Pingcheng Jing is all in the real power class, and the other party's official position is definitely only bigger than his own, so there is no suspicion of sloppy slapping horses......

"Oh, I'm glad to be lucky, in Xia Mo Ming, what Yale Xiaoyun, it's just a donated official, and you are a great talent in the Yin and Yang Liao, you don't dare to compare. ”

Mo Ming really didn't want to deal with any onmyoji.

These guys are too monkeys, and the most important thing is that they know a lot of things, but they can always use some inexplicable means such as divination to master the heavens, and it is very uncomfortable to get along.

Mo Ming would rather argue with Sherlock Holmes than have a face-to-face with the Onmyoji, the former is a rational deduction method after all, and the latter - take a look at your Yin Tang and look, and then tell you that there will be a bloody disaster today, and I dare not believe it after hearing it...... Mo Ming couldn't help but look up at the sky, wanting to ask why.

According to what Yue Yejian said, many onmyoji in this era have some real skills, and this ability, whether it is knowledgeable or divination, should be very useful to Mo Ming now.

Not really.

No matter how powerful the divination technique is, can it be even more powerful than the moonlit night Jianzun who is proficient in the Yin and Yang Dao? No matter how knowledgeable and knowledgeable he is, can he be more erudite than the gods who were born at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth?

Inexistent.

The moonlit night saw that there was no useful information, and the moonlit night saw that they had never heard of two treasures, and now, is it possible to still count on these mortals?

Actually, I could have tried it, but I'm afraid that it's too deep, and the identity of the god will be revealed, and maybe I won't even be able to stay in the capital.

But now that he has been approached, he just asked for information.

But before that, we'll have to make a little more small talk and see if this guy has ulterior motives.

......

......

(3) The ethereal statement is true

Maybe there is really a saying in the world that hit it off and smells like each other, and the two quickly got together.

He Mao Zhongxing didn't seem to have any ulterior motives, and he didn't hide anything from Mo Ming, he was inquired about his own background after coming and going, this person is not a high-ranking official, it is said that he practiced Yin and Yang Tao in the mountains with his reclusive father when he was young, and after more than ten years, he came out of the mountain and came to Pingchengjing alone to ask for an official job.

The young man is a more characterful type, and he will not bend his mind because the official is one level lower, but he has never walked with his head down in the Yin Yang Liao, he told Mo Ming that this Yin Yang Liao does have real skills, but none of them are his opponents.

This also makes him very unpopular in the eyes of his colleagues. Although in the past year, from the chief priest of the Liao to the royal case secretary, they gradually know the true talent of this person, but the official character is still not promoted, as if everyone has forgotten him.

This guy doesn't mind this, he lives a leisurely life all day long, and is as free as a merryman.

"It's not that I want to stay here, but my ancestors have vowed that each generation of Yin-Yang Dao descendants will protect His Majesty the Emperor for ten years...... In other words, after ten years, everyone will be scattered, so why bother to operate?"

"Do you really dare to say that it's okay to reveal this kind of thing to an irrelevant person?"

"Xiao Yunjun is an extraordinary person, and he will definitely not care about these messy things. ”

"Ha, so it's the job of literati to search for treasures all over the world?"

"Of course, gold is easy to obtain, treasures are hard to find, and collecting rare things in the bag is not exactly what the literati have been doing?"

"Whoever loves to do does it. ”

At the beginning of the summer of the fourth year of Hetong, Mo Ming was in the courtyard under He Mao Zhongxing's house to consult the classics that were originally only allowed to be viewed by the Onmyoji, and He Mao Zhongxing on the side was lazily reclining on a wooden chair and turning the simple globe in his hand.

"This thing is incredible...... "Although I have played with it for a long time, I still subconsciously admire it.

"I scribbled the map above, and I still remember the sections of only a few continents, and the specific locations of the countries marked on it may be quite biased......"

"Xiao Yunjun has really been to these countries?"

"Not all of them have been, but most of them ......"

"Amazing!" He Mao Zhongxing sat up suddenly, "Mo Mingjun, can you plan a route for me, if I want to travel around the countries, where should I cross the ocean from?"

"Hah, with the current ship technology and the crew's experience in crossing the sea, I'm afraid it can't meet the requirements," Mo Ming was not interested in this topic, and handed the spread book to He Mao Zhongxing, "Could it be this, a human meat bird?"

"This kind of monster is not a swallow, and it is impossible to use any kind of Amber. ”

"Headache...... Amber, the son of the swallow, is it a thing that exists?"

......

......

(4) Silver hair

It was another hot noon, and after making lunch for the moonlit night, I cleaned up and went to Kamo Tadayuki's courtyard again.

This time, he brought the remaining few books of the Partial Gate Chronicles from the Yin and Yang Liao, although he didn't have any expectations, but he couldn't help but complete the investigation.

In the middle of reading, He Maozhong, who was enjoying the cold in a leisurely manner, suddenly sat up straight, and shouted to Mo Ming as if he had suddenly come to his senses:

"It seems that something interesting has happened in Kyosato. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"There is a stunning woman in the middle of the street divining and refuting the hexagram to passers-by, which seems to have caused a sensation in half of the city. ”

When the heat was scorching, Mo Ming was immediately dizzy - what was that guy doing!

Without saying a word, he threw down the book and ran out of the door...... Naturally, he didn't want to miss such an interesting event, so he trotted up and asked:

"Do you know where Xiao Yunjun is?"

"Uh......" Mo Ming, who had just left the courtyard, remembered this question and asked rhetorically, "Where did you hear that from?"

"Flowers, birds, and beasts, no matter which one you can tell. ”

"Don't fight haha. ”

"It's Shikigami under it. ”

"Then you lead the way!"

Mo Ming didn't have time to talk about it, and now his mind was full of countermeasures...... All the way around the way, from Youjing to Zuojing and then to Waijing, I finally saw the inner three layers and the outer three layers of the fenced human wall, there are men and women in the crowd, if you are really attracted by beauty, it seems that the charm of that person is really not small.

Mo Ming was not ambiguous, took out the wooden chair from the temporarily unattended restaurant, stepped on it and looked inside.

And then a hanging heart landed ordinarily - not on a moonlit night.

At a glance, you can see that this woman has long silver-white hair, which is rare in the world, but it cannot be used as a decisive factor.

And with Mo Ming's understanding of the moonlit night, maybe she will disguise her hair color, but ...... The woman in the crowd was obviously more than a lap older than the moonlit night saw herself...... Cup, I don't think I will see you on a moonlit night to whitewash it in such a place that doesn't make sense to her.

As soon as he was gone, he immediately calmed down, and turned his head to see He Mao Tadayuki on the side, looking at himself standing in a chair in a daze.

"Never thought that Xiao Yunjun would be so greedy for beauty?"

Teasing is naturally inevitable, Mo Ming also casually haha, put the chair back at the moment, and began to squeeze into the crowd.

"Who in the world is not beautiful, and it can't hinder anyone, right?" tried to break away the crowd.

In the end, it was He Mao Zhongxing's hunting clothes that played a role, but it was difficult to squeeze into the inner circle, and it was obviously a lot of high-ranking officials and dignitaries who were mixed in, and they didn't intend to make way for the people behind them, but it was enough for the two of them to observe this woman who was said to be alluring in the city.

Mo Ming found a strange thing, although she could feel that the other party was indeed a stunning beauty, but it was very subtle, and she couldn't see the woman's face clearly.

"It's a yin-yang spell," He Mao Zhongxing whispered to Mo Ming, "to make your face as if it was hidden in the clouds, and you can't see the whole picture." ”

Before Mo Ming could speak, he heard a voice coming from there.

"Your husband is still alive, but he is not in Heijo Jingzhong, he has married and has children elsewhere, if you wish, you can show you the way......

What a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu, Mo Ming's eyes immediately widened to confirm the identity of the woman standing there.

The result was still a failure, except for the voice and tone of speech, there was almost no shadow of the moonlit night.

After some inquiry, I understood the cause of the matter - the silver-haired woman saw a crying woman when she walked on the street, and after a conversation, the crying woman kept kowtowing and thanking, and the passers-by asked the truth and were amazed by the woman's mysterious appearance. In the end, more people watched, and then one after another people stepped forward to talk to the woman, but found that the woman who was proficient in divination would only respond to the conversation of the same woman, and seemed to be accustomed to seeing the big scene and generally regarded the men as air, and the temperament was calm and answered the doubts with the girls who asked her one by one.

He Mao Zhongxing was very interested in moving forward to get a closer look at the stunning woman and her yin-yang technique, but found that Mo Ming was squeezing out......

......

......

(5) The kindness of the little monster

Mo Ming naturally wanted to rush back to see if the main owner was still there.

Kept walking back, panting and pushing the door in, I found that the moonlit night was squatting in the courtyard, and in front of her was ...... There is also a little impression of the little green-haired girl.

Isn't it the youkai of the flower that I saved in the Harima forest half a year ago?

The flower monster still didn't have the ability to practice speaking out, but he showed a happy look when he saw Mo Ming appear.

"Kaguya," Mo Ming walked up and asked, "What's going on?"

Since the moonlit night is here, there shouldn't be any problem, and now the focus has become why there are youkai in Heijo Kyori, and it's this - the monster of the flower with very weak strength?

Yueye saw that he stood up, walked to the side and whispered to Mo Ming:

"Yokai do get close to mortals they have befriended when they practice, and this behavior itself is beneficial to the practice of youkai. ”

"Monsters repay their kindness?" Mo Ming has also heard of this kind of thing.

"It's okay to understand it that way. ”

The little monster walked over and pulled the hem of La Moming's trousers, and spread out his little hands, and there were a few grains on them...... Melon seeds?

Mo Ming squatted down, rubbed the monster's head with one hand, and reached out to receive the monster's gift with the other.

Is this a sunflower seed? Mo Ming looked up at the moonlit night on the side with a puzzled face.

The other party smiled and said:

"I've got my private share, and she gave it to you. ”

"No, I mean to say......" Mo Ming smiled softly at the green-haired little monster to show friendship, then stood up, presented a few sunflower seeds in one hand, and asked the moonlit night next to him, "If you give us melon seeds to eat, are these few seeds hiccup......

Mo Ming squatted back on the ground, looked at the wide-eyed little monster next to him as if he was frightened, looked up at the moonlit night, and said angrily: "What's the matter?

Seeing that Yue Ye also came over, he bent down and rubbed the monster's head, looked at Mo Ming, who was squatting there in pain, and smiled warmly: "For those who have done wrong things and are unconscious, they must be punished, otherwise they will not repent." ”

Mo Ming didn't care about pretending anymore, so he hurriedly came over and said to the little monster:

"Don't listen to her nonsense, violence is only the ultimate solution to the problem, not the best ......"

"It's not the best, but it's the most straightforward way - how can you learn from humans as a youkai?"

"What's wrong with the human set......

Mo Ming was about to say something, but he was dumbfounded.

The little monster stared at Mo Ming with big watery eyes, and looked at Mo Ming for a while, and saw him on a moonlit night, and he already looked like he was about to cry.

So the two quickly stopped the topic.

Seeing the moonlit night, he rarely walked to Mo Ming's side and whispered softly:

"Don't mention the word eating again, the little monster gave you seeds. ”

Mo Ming instantly understood why she was beaten.

Although she can understand human speech, that's all, and the nature of the youkai makes her not think from the standpoint of a human beingβ€”the youkai of the flower loves flowers and plants and similar things because of her nature, and because of the encounter in the dense forest, she is close to the two, so she came over and gave the sunflower seeds she thought were beautiful as gifts.

Maybe she didn't think about the question of whether this gift could be of substantial help to the two of them, and she just wanted to give her favorite items to someone close to her, which is the simple idea of a simple youkai, and it has nothing to do with repaying the favor.

is a little touching, but Mo Ming never shows her emotion on her face, and is still saying something impersonal:

"Although I'm glad about your intentions, but Heijokyo is not a place where youkai can come and go at will, there are many onmyoji living here, and they all have the responsibility to protect this city, once you find out that your existence is hard to say, it is difficult to say what you will do, and Kaguya and I, because some things can't be targeted, it is impossible to take you here, and it is likely that you can come here alive today thanks to the many people who surrounded Heijokyo Waijing, so ......"

"Although it's a bit regrettable, I have to say that the best thing to do now is for me to send you away immediately, take advantage of the fact that the Onmyoji are attracted by the movement of Waijing, hurry out of the city, and don't come back...... It's too dangerous for youkai here. ”

......

......

(6) To see or not to see

led the little monster all the way to the outskirts of the city, and Mo Ming's heart was put down - the hair color and pupil color of the little monster were really eye-catching, and if he was really bumped into by the onmyoji on the road, he was afraid that he would suffer immediately.

Seeing that there was no one around, and it was time to separate, Mo Ming squatted on the ground and looked at the monster.

"What I said before still works, and I always believe that you can grow into a very powerful youkai. ”

Reaching out to rub his head, he was slapped off by the little monster.

"That's right, be wary of humans, amiable and kind people like me are rare in humans. ”

"Thank you for the seeds, I will be good and rare...... Goodbye, future youkai!"

The little monster in the courtyard of Shicai behaved softly, which made Mo Ming a little worried, and seeing that the child's eyes had become firm again, he nodded with satisfaction and turned back to the city.

In the alley that just entered Youjing, he was stopped by Kamo Tadayuki.

That's a bit intriguing...... He Mao Tadayuki was originally in Waijing, why did he appear here? Looking at this posture, it was not a chance encounter, but he was waiting for himself here?

didn't wait for Mo Ming to think about it, He Mao Zhongxing had already directly said his original intention:

"Xiao Yunjun, there is something to ask for below. ”

"Oh, Zhongxingjun is so polite, how can it be difficult to get you, the Great Onmyoji?"

He Mao did not speak, but sealed his hands and recited a spell that he did not understand.

Mo Ming seemed to see a faint light around the alley.

"Enchantment?" After all, Mo Ming came from Gensukyo, and this bit of eyesight can be counted.

"Xiao Yunjun didn't seem to pay attention to the butterfly that was flying around you just now......"

Full of meaningful pauses.

Is it a human-style god?

"So what is your request?" Mo Ming didn't say what he guessed, and now he wanted to ask the other party's intention.

"I would like to ask Xiao Yunjun to take me to visit the noble person who lives in your mansion. ”

Is it really that the person who came is not good...... Mo Ming thought about it quietly and asked puzzledly:

"I just came out of the house, and I don't have any nobles there. ”

"No, it's almost certain that the noble man is now living in Xiao Yunjun's mansion. ”

"What do you affirm if there is nothing?"

"The reason is very simple, the barrier shrouded in the sky above Xiao Yunjun's mansion can't be broken even below, this person must be a high-ranking person outside the party...... So Zhongxing secretly made a divination. ”

"How?"

"Please ask Xiao Yunjun to introduce me for you. ”

"As I said, there are no nobles in the family, only a sister who is sick in bed all the year round. ”

"The person I am talking about below is the one who pretends to be Xiao Yunjun and your sister lives in your mansion. ”

Mo Ming was silent.

This onmyoji obviously has his own system of techniques, and he has come to his conclusions, and it seems futile to play haha and pretend to be confused here.

Seeing the opportunity for Mo Ming to hesitate, He Mao Zhongxing asked:

"Isn't Xiao Yunjun looking for the whereabouts of Amber, the son of Yan?"

Mo Ming stopped.

"You know?" Did this guy play confused all along?

"Among the yin-yang techniques, there are some unethical and very dangerous techniques, which are the so-called forbidden artsβ€”as long as the "Swallow's Son Ambe" does exist in the world, its location can be obtained through divination. ”

"At what cost?"

"If the spell is cast successfully, it will probably only use up the remaining half of your life. ”

"Just to see her?"

"Yes. ”

"Why?"

He Mao Zhongxing suddenly stopped talking, as if he was muttering something, and after a while, he asked rhetorically:

"This noble man is a young and beautiful woman?"

"Yes. ”

"How about meeting that woman in Waijing this morning?"

"I didn't see the appearance of the one in Waijing, but you said that the noble man was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in the world. ”

"I think so," He Mao Zhongxing said with a smile, "Since there is such a beautiful person on the side, I can't see each other, how can I live in vain for decades without regrets?"

In the past, Mo Ming had already thrown out the sentence 'If you are sick', but now she was silent and said: "Even if she is a peerless woman in the world, it is not worth exchanging her life for one side." ”

"The fate of one side is also the fate, since the fate has been formed, maybe there will be a follow-up?"

It is precisely because of getting along with the moonlit night that Mo Ming is also a person who has appreciated its charm, so now it is understandable that some of the opinions of those who are eager for beauty.

But with his character, it is naturally impossible to understand, let alone make such a choice as Kamo Tadayuki.

"It's just a choice, but for Xiao Yunjun, it's beneficial and harmless, how about it?"

......

......

(7) Peerless and independent

In the end, Mo Ming did not agree.

Although it is beneficial and harmless, it cannot directly lead people into the home.

Moonlit Night is not a god with no temper, and if something abrupt annoys her, she will not have good fruit to eat.

Only let He Mao Zhongxing wait outside the mansion, and Mo Ming went in and told the situation.

The attitude of seeing you on a moonlit night is very clear: "No." ”

Mo Ming said: "Just by seeing you, I can know the whereabouts of Anbei, the son of Yan, what reason is there to refuse?"

"Selfishness is a god, not a flower for people to enjoy, and they don't want to see it. ”

"But, Tsubame ......"

"Don't forget, that agreement is still in private hands...... It's really good to provoke selfishness?"

I've warned more than once, but I didn't expect to see the moonlit night again with the agreed thing to threaten ...... Mo Ming was really a little angry.

He stared at the moonlit night for a few seconds.

Then he nodded and said with a blank face:

"I'm going to turn him down. ”

......

......

That night, Mo Ming enjoyed the moon in the courtyard in the shade.

When he was sent back to He Mao Zhongxing, Mo Ming saw unwillingness in his eyes. What an unwilling Onmyoji would do, he could not reason completely within the bounds of common sense.

Although something very unpleasant happened today, it was not for nothingβ€”it was crucial to find the location of Amber, the son of Yan, with the forbidden Yin-Yang technique.

But had the forbidden techniques never been heard of by the gods, and how could they never have heard of such a thing in the moonlit night?

As for He Mao Zhongxing, it is understandable that he did not mention it before, after all, the cost of using it as a forbidden technique is too great, even if he tells Mo Ming this plan, it is impossible to use it to help him, it is better to be confused.

Mo Ming sat in the courtyard with a chopsticks and pickled radish strips in his mouth and chewed them, and when he turned around, he saw the moonlit night quietly appearing beside him, and the chopsticks almost fell to the ground in shock.

"Are you a ghost?"

"Selfishness is a god. ”

β€œ......”

There is no nightlife in this era, and Mo Ming's routine is similar to when she was in Gensokyo, usually lying down in the room at night, and it is rare to take a cool day like today...... As for seeing you on a moonlit night, this guy looks elusive even in the small courtyard of this independent courtyard, and it is the first time I have seen her appear in the courtyard at night.

"What are you doing?"

"Moon-watching, together?"

Moonlit Nightsee didn't answer, just looked up at the moon in the night sky.

"Ah, I almost forgot that you were a god on the moon, what, homesick?"

Still didn't answer, just looked at the moon in a daze.

"Don't forget what you're going to get when you return to heaven. Mo Ming was bitter.

Seeing the moonlit night, he said in a solemn voice:

"The moonlight is so beautiful. ”

"Huh?" Mo Ming heard and looked up at the moon in the sky.

The moon is as round and bright as ever, and it is precisely through the moonlight that Mo Ming can keep her fingers from touching the dark in the courtyard, but at this time, she seems to be deliberately puzzled and asked:

"You're used to seeing this kind of moonlight, right?"

"What about you, what do you think of this moonlight?"

"Is it moonlight......" Mo Ming sighed and replied, "The nuclear fusion inside the sun causes the atoms in its inner state to be in a highly excited state, and a large number of photons released by the quantum energy level jump are irradiated on the moon, so that its entire surface continues to be reflected as a diffuse reflection carrier, and finally passes through the earth's atmosphere to the ground, and finally enters the eyes through the human pupil and appears on the retin......"

Mo Ming didn't finish speaking, because the moonlit night next to him suddenly laughed softly, giving people a creepy feeling.

"Mo Mingjun is really different. ”

"I don't know what you mean by that, I'm angry about what happened during the day. Mo Ming told the truth.

"What do you think of your private appearance?"

It's not the first time I've asked Mo Ming this question, but it's a little embarrassing every time I ask.

But Mo Ming is an honest person and will not lie in such a meaningless place: "There is no match in the world." ”

"Well," Yue Yejian nodded, obviously satisfied with Mo Ming's description, "So, in your opinion, will there be any human beings who are expecting their private appearance to be disappointed after seeing them?"

"This question ......" Mo Ming seemed to think of what the moonlit night saw and wanted to say, "I think it's almost impossible to exist." ”

"That Onmyoji is already willing to sacrifice his life in exchange for someone he hasn't seen yet, so what about after he has seen it?"

"Crazy for you?" Mo Ming teased.

"Huh. ”

Mo Ming: "......"

It's a pity that this onmyoji doesn't seem to have any intention of giving up, and he doesn't know what kind of action he will make next.

......

......

In the afternoon of the next day, during the short period of time when Mo Ming went out to Dongshi and had not yet returned, he suddenly frowned when he was sitting lazily outside the entrance on a moonlit night.

A small bee that had just appeared in the middle of the courtyard was cut in half.

"There are such powerful yin-yang warlocks among human beings, but I underestimate them. Moonlit Night muttered disappreciatively.

Needless to say, this little episode seems to be all uneventful.

But three days later, this small courtyard that was originally unattended became a place surrounded by stars and moons in Heijo Kyo.

......

......

"The stunning woman who caused a sensation in Waijing that day was the younger sister of Yale Xiaoyun Mo Mingjun, who lived here. ”

From nowhere, the news quickly spread throughout the city.

The speed of the spread made Mo Ming dumbfounded, and he couldn't defend himself, and he couldn't defend himself......

That silver-haired beauty is Mo Ming's sister - if you want to say not, it's good, let your sister come out to meet everyone, and the misunderstanding will be solved soon.

But can it be done?

Mo Ming is now on fire in the courtyard.

"I knew it was this guy's doing!

"You have nothing to do, what kind of messy moths, I won't talk about finding some birds and beasts to hang around, I made a human-like Shikigami and made such a beauty, and covered his face with Yin-Yang Technique, what do you want?"

In this matter, it is indeed a loss on a moonlit night.

"It's a private god made a long time ago with a private friend as a template to play - that day was made out, it was not good to directly let her show her true face, and it was not good to scandalize her appearance, only that. ”

"Is it to lure away those onmyoji and let the little monsters come here safely?"

"But I didn't expect it to become like this," Mo Ming was already anxious here, but the moonlit night didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, "Do you want to leave Pingchengjing?"

Mo Ming shook his head: "It's not that far." ”

This is also the moonlit night to see that there are enough means of self-preservation.

Mo Ming was called by his boss to Yalesi for instructions, and as a result, several groups of officials and subordinates planned to take the opportunity to break into the courtyard, but found that they couldn't open the courtyard door anyway.

Then he called the big hand of Yin Yang Liao, and informed them that there was a master on their side, and they couldn't break in without breaking the enchantment.

The Yin-Yang technique that the moon night saw did not make the two of them fall into an absolute passive situation, so Mo Ming planned to do what he said before - centralized checks and balances.

His sister was reluctant to get married.

However, it is not non-negotiable......

......

......

(8) Amber, the son of the swallow

The dignitaries and guests hung their heads and dispersed, Mo Ming closed the door in front of the court, walked back to the entrance and sat down.

Seeing the moonlit night, he pushed open the heavy curtain and came out, paced slowly, and sat down beside Mo Ming.

"Is it really okay to talk to those people?" asked Tsukiya Mi.

"There's no way, if you just 'find Anbei, the son of Yan', it can indeed improve efficiency, and the reason why I said five treasures is to ......"

"That's not what I'm talking about. ”

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"You told them that whoever has obtained one of the five treasures can marry a private wife?"

"What is the expedient measure, what is really ......?"

"No, I'm serious. ”

Mo Ming's eyes widened and he looked at the moonlit night: "Are you kidding, my god?"

"Nope. ”

Mo Ming thought for a while and said, "Whoever you want to marry is your own, as long as you don't forget to fulfill my promise to help you find all the five treasures." ”

"It's a conflict. ”

Mo Ming thought of a possibility, and suddenly felt cold in his heart.

"You don't mean to say ......"

"That's right, although I'm a little sorry for you to say it now, but it's not okay not to say it. ”

"What ......"

"If the person who finds the treasure with your own hands is not you, and you don't mention whether you will marry that person, then the final agreement between you and you will not be considered to be completed by you!"

With a 'bang', Mo Ming slammed his fist on the entrance.

......

......

In the winter of the fourth year of Hetong, at the foot of a mountain adjacent to Mount Wakayama more than forty miles west of Heijo Kyo, Mo Ming, who was carrying a sword, and Kamo Tadayuki, who was pale and followed behind, were stopped.

Standing there was a familiar face who had a relationship with each other earlier-the silver-haired woman who had appeared in Heijo Kyo.

The woman stood with a bow in one hand, looked at the two indifferently, and suddenly said:

"Only he can pass. ”

It's Mo Ming.

"It's because of her that you came to me, right?" Mo Ming asked.

He Mao Zhongxing nodded, his expression unwillingly revealed.

Obviously, before coming with Mo Ming, he had come alone, but he was blocked out by this god.

Mo Ming only looked at the woman's language, didn't say much, picked up the Tiancong Cloud Sword that was out of the sheath in his hand, and walked to the depths of the mountains and forests alone.

......

......

He Mao looked at the silver-haired woman...... Or, in fact, what he was looking at was as if it was another person standing behind the woman.

"I brought him as you said. ”

The silver-haired woman nodded.

"You can go. ”

"Why, does it have to be that mortal?"

"I can give my life, my soul, and everything for you without asking for anything in return!"

"Why, not down there?"

The silver-haired woman stopped talking, as if there was a cloud of air in front of her.

......

......

Three hours later, there was a shrill and piercing chirp in the woods.

As if feeling something, the silver-haired woman's eyes closed and turned into a paper figure fluttering in the wind.

After a while, Mo Ming, who was covered in blood, limped out, still holding the Tiancong Cloud Sword in his right hand, and holding a bloody transparent object in his left hand.

The young Onmyoji, He Mao Zhongyuki, knelt on the ground, holding a piece of paper figurine in his hands with great piety, and kept crying in a low voice.

Mo Ming sighed, passed by him, and staggered in the direction of Pingchengjing.

......

......

(9) Yesterday's day cannot be kept

"The mythical beast recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is similar to Bai Ze, but it is a rarer category, called Xuanniao - Xuanzhi Heiye, not a phoenix, but a kind of swallow. ”

"Perhaps it is the only remaining bird in the world, pregnant for more than 300 years, and even did not hesitate to travel here to find a way to give birth. ”

"When I went to look for it, the bird was very weak...... I don't know if it's because of production, or if it's - I was beaten half to death by the Shikigami sent by someone, and I'm almost going to have to take in and out of air anyway. ”

"Even so, it thought I was going to steal its eggs and almost killed me...... Although I stabbed it, I didn't kill it, so when I got it, I quickly ran away......"

On a moonlit night, I saw that the one in my hand was shining brightly, and it was something that should not exist in the world - Amber, the son of the swallow.

Because Mo Ming, who found the fourth item, his mood finally became much better.

It's also time to confront the moonlit night for some things.

There were quite a few things he had guessed earlier, but at the time he wouldn't have used them even if he said them, but now it's different.

Of the five treasures, four have been added.

"See you on a moonlit night, don't hide it, tell me the location of Penglai Yuzhi directly, you must know. ”

Seeing Zun on a moonlit night, he knew the whereabouts of Yan's son Amber from the beginning, but he didn't mention anything to Mo Ming.

With an extremely indifferent attitude, he allowed Kamo Tadayuki to sacrifice his life for divination, and stopped him from going alone to fetch Ambe, the son of Swallow.

Now Mo Ming didn't want to be entangled in all these practices, and he became as eager as a hot-blooded young man to set off to find Penglai Yuzhi immediately.

Reimu, maybe, I'll go back to Gensokyo alive!

However, the moonlit night saw that he said something inappropriate again.

"Mo Ming, are you willing to stay here with Private? no longer care about the five treasures and agreements, just stay here with Private, and forget anything else. ”

This question, Mo Ming sometimes has it in his mind, but he didn't expect it to be said by the gods in a tone that is not a joke.

Mo Ming didn't answer the rhetorical question:

"What do you think is good about here? I don't like food and lodging, I don't like business or politics, I can't find a reason to stay here. ”

"Isn't selfishness a reason?"

"Why are you? Leaving aside the duties of the gods, would it be interesting to stay here?"

"It's not funny. ”

"Coincidentally, I think so too. ”

"However, having you here, I personally feel interesting and reassuring. ”

"Unfortunately, I will never be at ease when I think that my cute schoolboy may still be suffering. ”

In the spring of the fifth year of Hetong, the two left Heijojing and went to Kyushu Tsukushi again.

......

......

(10) The mountain is in the void

Above the East China Sea, fog is rising again.

Fog is one of the conditions for finding Penglai Xiandao - fog may not be found, but when the sea is peaceful and open, it must not be found.

It seems that there was once a very powerful immortal who set up a formation here, so that mortals would never be allowed to enter.

Drifting on the side of the ship at sea, Mo Ming looked into the distance through the mist.

You'll find itβ€”no matter how long it takes.

He believed it.
