The reception feast ended much faster than expected, humility and observance are virtues, and observance without formality is true, and the onmyoji grasped this point very appropriately. Unlike ordinary people, ordinary people mostly put things on the dining table to talk about, and the onmyoji, perhaps as the saying goes, "the law does not pass on the six ears", may indeed be insufficient to communicate with outsiders, and their conversations are often carried out in secret places.

So, after everyone else went back to their rooms, the fifth jade and Misaka Kazuwa looked at each other, got up and walked to the back garden of the mansion together.

The late autumn night is particularly deep, so the moonlight is even brighter. There is a lot of vegetation in the garden, but the most eye-catching is the cherry blossom tree in the middle, with a huge trunk that can be hugged by two people. Unfortunately, it was late autumn and I couldn't see the cherry blossoms.

But fortunately, there are also many autumn blooming flowers in the garden, such as chrysanthemums, begonias, and yueji...... At night, it adds a sense of secluded beauty.

Seeing the attention of the fifth jade, Misaka Kazuwa smiled slightly and said, "Last time you lived here for more than a month, I didn't see you take a second look here." ”

The fifth jade smiled bitterly and said quietly: "At that time, I was thinking about it, and my thoughts were complicated, how could I have such leisure and elegance. ”

Misaka Kazuwa nodded and said, "Yes, but this flower blooms every year, and this scene is always there, so there is always a time to appreciate it." ”

"I hope so." Fifth Jade nodded, but then said with a wry smile: "But there probably won't be time recently." ”

Misaka Kazuwa also shook his head and said: "I don't understand the thoughts of you young people, I don't understand it, don't say that I'm an antique, it's just that there is something to do in this play." ”

Fifth Jade blinked. Smiled: "Asuka Anzhi fish? ”

Misaka Ichiwa was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "It's me who is in love...... He was an outsider. But as the head of the Misaka family, he has to stand in this world. Unknowingly, he was also contaminated with mortal dust. Speaking of the back, there was a faint sigh in his tone.

The outsiders here do not refer to monks, in the Zhuangzi? There is a cloud in the "Great Grandmaster": "The other travels outside the party", which originally meant to refer to a person who is detached from the world, and was later used to refer to a monk. Although the secret art inheritance of the Onmyoji is missing, its ideological concepts have been preserved after being widely circulated because it is not a secret that has been passed on, so most of the Onmyoji also call themselves outsiders.

Although the fifth jade often said that he just regarded the onmyoji as a profession and a means of making a living. But after all, I've been immersed in it for many years, and I have some feelings. For Misaka Kazuwa's sighs, the fifth jade is also quite touched.

"Maybe this is the fate of the Onmyoji......" Fifth Jade was silent for a while, raised his head to look at the deep starry sky, and said lightly: "Maybe...... The era of destined Onmyoji has passed. ”

Kazuwa Misaka frowned and looked at the fifth jade.

Fifth Jade continued: "Science and technology are constantly developing, human beings are constantly progressing, and the future has infinite possibilities, which is the right path for a species. And what kind of people are Onmyoji? A constant search for history. In the end, the ultimate goal is the original source. ”

"However, what is the origin? The beginning of the human race? Maybe it's just nothingness...... Compared with the path of science and technology that mankind has found now, science and technology do not have an ultimate goal. But there is an infinite path, and although the onmyoji have a clear purpose, time is irreversible. But it's long gone......"

Kazuwa Misaka's brow furrowed even tighter, obviously. Fifth Jade's words did not fit his insistence. However, he couldn't find a reason to refute Fifth Jade, so he had to remain silent. After a long time, Misaka Kazukazu said slowly: "Everyone has their own ambitions......

Hearing Misaka Kazuwa say this, it was inconvenient for the fifth jade to say more. He is not here, so naturally there is no reason to argue with others about right and wrong, besides, there are other things to do when the fifth jade comes out tonight.

There is a saying that "real people don't show their faces", which means that people who are really capable tend to hide their clumsiness, and they will not show themselves, and this sentence was originally about people like Onmyoji.

The so-called "real people" refer to a group of people who are completely awakened, recognize themselves and understand the heavens and the earth. And "appearance" does not mean ability, but refers to the true appearance!

"Real people" are very easy to understand, the onmyoji is a group of people who teach the world and pursue the origin, but the true appearance is only known to the onmyoji themselves. The Onmyoji used a variety of cultivation methods to understand the heavens and the earth, and while gaining power, he also had different changes in himself. These changes vary depending on the means of cultivation and the understanding of each person, but they are all called different because they are different from ordinary people.

Alienation is the name of ordinary people for the image of Onmyoji, but Onmyoji himself refers to it as his true appearance. Because in the process of practice, it is also accompanied by their understanding of themselves, so they see this consequent change as a manifestation of their true self.

Taking the fifth jade as an example, his star-like eyes and long hair reaching the ground are his true appearance. As for the others, it may not be as obvious as the fifth jade, but if it is revealed in ordinary life, it will definitely attract attention. Therefore, hiding one's true face has become the most common choice for onmyoji.

Now, what the fifth jade wants to talk to Misaka Kazuwa is the problem of his true appearance.

The true appearance of the Onmyoji is not static, and as the practice deepens and the perception of heaven and earth increases, the true appearance often changes accordingly. Therefore, it is common sense to say that the change in nature is a good thing.

However, Fifth Jade's situation was definitely not so simple, otherwise he wouldn't need to talk to others about his true appearance.

Fifth Jade took a deep breath, and a burst of light suddenly appeared on her fair face, and then her long hair hung down like a waterfall, as if it were real and illusory, and it looked even more hazy under the moonlight. The originally bright eyes became silent at this moment, like a deep lake, and a red blood pattern appeared next to the corner of the eye, first looming, and after a while, it stabilized.

Misaka Kazuwa was a little strange at first, and he didn't know why the fifth jade suddenly showed his true face in front of him, but when the fifth jade looked at him, Misaka Kazuwa suddenly felt a trance in his heart.

There is no saying that the more conspicuous the out-of-phase, the stronger the strength, but the difference in that level does not lie! Although the feeling on the fifth jade is still very light, just a trace is enough, this is the essential difference!

"Recently, my true nature has changed a bit...... Fifth Jade said bluntly.

Kazuwa Misaka frowned and waited for the next step of the fifth jade. I saw that the fifth jade gently stroked the blood lines next to the corners of her eyes, and continued:

"It's a pity that it's not because I have any new insights or refined ......," said this, and the fifth jade's brows also locked.

"I guess it has something to do with this trip to Jellef!" (To be continued......)
