Chapter 592: Fate

Yu Qiuping found that something was wrong, and he was about to rush forward almost in one arrow step. In a flash of lightning, he was a little puzzled to find that Honda Tadakatsu was standing in place and did not act - in the past, he must have been the first to fight back?

However, before Yu Qiuping could react, the next sound coming from inside the tent made him laugh - it was two cat meows. He fixed his eyes and saw two fluffy and fat kittens suddenly jumped on Ye Gu Suizi's body, startling the girl.

"Bear meow, preserved eggs, don't be rude to guests." Seeing this, the girl dressed as an onmyoji feigned anger at her two cats, "They are guests! ”

The two kittens seemed to be very human, and after hearing the girl's scolding, they immediately stopped their fierce appearance obediently, but "meowed" a few times, and rubbed their tails on the cheeks of Hagu Suizi.

"How's it going, there's something wrong in the tent?" Mori Kolong patiently waited for Hatani Suiko, who was teasing the cat, for a while, and found that the latter had not yet realized his duty, so he couldn't help but urge in a low voice.

"Ahhh Hatani Suizi suddenly replied again and again, turned around and glanced inside the tent, making sure that there was no danger.

"Okay, then I'll go in." Yu Qiuping smiled and waved his hand at everyone, signaling that they didn't need to worry. After he walked into the tent, Ye Gu Suizi, who had walked out, casually lowered the curtain of the tent and waited outside the tent with everyone.

As soon as the curtain was closed, the tent suddenly became a little dark. Only then did Yu Qiuping realize that there was not even an oil lamp in the tent, only daylight penetrated the heavy tent, vaguely bringing some light to the tent. In the gloom, Yu Qiuping looked around the interior of the tent, which was a little cluttered, stacked with a large number of ancient and even somewhat broken books and many tools used by the onmyoji for divination.

"So, guest, what do you call it?" Just when Yu Qiuping was a little distracted, the girl in front of him suddenly spoke, disrupting his thoughts.

"Mamachi Rude." Yu Qiuping replied without thinking, not saying his real name, but using the trumpet vest he had been preaching in Kii back then.

"This is not true, the guest is so deceitful, but it is disrespectful to the gods." Hearing this, the girl folded her hands reverently and bowed to Yu Qiuping, "The little girl is now in the west of Xiaoizumi, and I hope that the guests will be truthful." ”

"Miss Jinxi, I'm really sorry, I'm offended." Yu Qiuping was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly apologized. It seems that the onmyoji in front of him still has something, and he can see at a glance that he is not telling the truth. His reaction and performance just now, he asked himself if there was no flaw, why was it seen through at a glance?

"I'm Yuqiu Red Leaves." Yu Qiuping hesitated for a moment, and chose to answer truthfully, anyway, this little girl can't make any waves, and the news that she came to Tosa in person will soon spread throughout Shikoku, and there is no point in concealing it.

"Okay, Mr. Yuqiu." To Yu Qiuping's surprise, the girl in front of her didn't know if she hadn't heard of Yu Qiuping's name because she was concentrating on cultivation and being isolated from the world, or if she was really good-natured, and after hearing Yu Qiuping's name, she didn't have the slightest difference and panic, as if she heard a rural villager report her name, and replied calmly, "I don't know sir, what kind of way do you want to use to be lucky?" ”

"What will the girl of the West be?" Yu Qiuping didn't know anything about the divination method of the Japanese onmyoji, so he had to ask a little embarrassed.

"Stargazing, face-to-face, knowing disasters, drawing charms, everything, sir, just choose." In a very confident and calm tone, Imaishi Koizumi replied with a smile.

"So... Let's face each other. Yu Qiuping looked at the sky and felt that the sun had not yet set and could not see the stars. And he didn't know what it was when he knew the disaster and drew a charm, so he just looked at it.

"Yes." When Imaishi Koizumi heard this, he bowed, then closed his eyes, and said something in his mouth, as if he was doing some kind of prayer and preparation ceremony. After a while, she chanted the eulogy and slowly opened her eyes. Then, she pulled out a piece of paper filled with various spell marks from her side, spread it flat on the ground in front of Yu Qiuping, and pressed the back of a small wooden comb several times to flatten the paper. She took out another brush, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote a few words on the paper, drawing a large circle in the middle of the blank space, and drawing some strange symbols around it.

After completing all the preparations, Imaishi Koizumi put down the pen, put the thumb of his left hand to his mouth, and bit it hard with his teeth, making Yu Qiuping feel a little distressed when he looked at it. Then, Imaishi Koizumi slowly pressed the bitten thumb into the large circle of paper, leaving a blood-red fingerprint.

"Sir, please put your left hand in this circle." Imaishi Koizumi guided Yu Qiuping to lay the palm of his left hand flat on the blood mark of the paper, and at the same time took the palm of his right hand and asked him to open his hand relaxedly.

"Do you want to see palmistry?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Sir, please be quiet and close your eyes." Imaishi Koizumi whispered to Yu Qiuping in a somewhat serious but still gentle voice. This wonderful tone and tone seemed to have a special magic, so that Yu Qiuping couldn't help but act according to her instructions - could this be a simple hypnotic technique?

After Yuqiu closed his eyes obediently, the sense of touch in his hands became the only sense he could perceive foreign objects, so he became extremely sensitive. He could feel Imaishi Koizumi holding her wrist with one hand, and groping the other hand along the groove of the line in the palm of his hand. He vaguely felt that Imaishi Koizumi's eyes did not seem to be looking at his hand, but at Yu Qiuping's face. This subtle atmosphere actually gave Yu Qiuping a hypnotized sense of comfort and relaxation.

After about a cup of tea, Imaishi Koizumi put down Yu Qiuping's right hand, and instead held up Yu Qiuping's left hand and put his right hand on the blood mark. It was about the time of tea again, and Imaishi Koizumi put down Yu Qiuping's left hand and put it on his right hand. Her dexterous hands fiddled slightly, and then crossed the ten fingers of Yu Qiuping's hands into a strange shape, pressing them together into the blood-marked circle.

"Okay..."Yu Qiuping just wanted to open his mouth to ask if it was okay, but he immediately heard the sound of "shhh Imaishi Koizumi seemed rather frustrated by Yu Qiuping's sudden opening, and Yu Qiuping could hear her sigh helplessly, and seemed to shake her head. She gently put the hand that had bitten her finger just now on Yu Qiuping's hands, and then chanted words in her mouth for a while, as if she was repenting for Yu Qiuping's inappropriate actions just now.

After chanting, she slowly raised her hands, grabbed Yu Qiuping's cheeks, and brushed the bangs on Yu Qiuping's forehead. Slender fingers swiped over the contours of Yu Qiuping's facial features, and they would stop for a moment in the angular positions. However, Yu Qiuping could sense that Imaishi Koizumi's breathing seemed to be getting more and more cramped, and there was a little panic in the movements of his hands.

It was time for another cup of tea, and Imaishi Koizumi stopped moving. However, this time Yu Qiuping didn't dare to open his eyes rashly. He could feel that Imaishi Koizumi seemed to be sitting half a meter in front of him, not knowing what he was doing.

I don't know how long it took, Yu Qiuping faintly couldn't feel the concept of time, but was just intoxicated in this unique atmosphere. However, a thought that suddenly popped into his mind startled him - if this onmyoji suddenly took out a knife and stabbed him at this time, would it be over!

This terrible thought almost made Yu Qiuping open his eyes in that instant. However, a wonderful trust in his heart and a voice in the dark made him choose to believe in the onmyoji in front of him. At the moment of fierce struggle in his heart, the voice of Koizumi Imanishi suddenly sounded again: "Please open your eyes, it's over." ”

Yu Qiuping opened his eyes with relief when he heard this, and he actually had a feeling of being separated from the world. It's still the same tent in front of me, but because my eyes are more accustomed to the darkness, I can see it more clearly. He soon discovered that something was wrong—there were faint tears on Imaishi's face, and a layer of cold sweat on his forehead—could it be that something had just happened?

"Please atone for your sins, the little girl is incompetent." Imaishi Koizumi bowed to Yu Qiuping and whispered in shame, "The little girl has exhausted all kinds of methods, but it is still difficult to get Mr. Child's childhood. It seemed that everything came to an abrupt end at the age of 16, and beyond that it was completely dark, and nothing could be seen. If you can't see your childhood, it's very likely that the good luck and bad luck in the future will not be accurate. ”

"Oh my God." Yu Qiuping was shocked when he heard this, his face turned pale instantly, and even his breathing became shorter - 16 years old, if he remembered correctly, it was the age he had crossed over. Just because you can't see anything before the age of 16 doesn't mean that everything you do in this world can be seen by the Onmyoji. And she can accurately say that at the age of 16, could it be that there is really a god on top? Could it be that Onmyoji really has divine powers? Could it be that the legend of Abe Harumi is not grotesque?

"Sir, don't worry, it's all just because the little girl doesn't practice enough, if the master is here, he won't be so embarrassed." Imanishi Koizumi mistook Yu Qiuping's surprise, but turned around apologetically and took out a very small and sleeping orange cat from a small box. However, although it is still very small, the hair on the orange cat is already very thick.

"This is a cat with divine powers, and it can bless Mr. Giving it to Mr. can be regarded as an apology for the incompetence of the little girl. While handing the orange cat to Yu Qiuping's hand, Imaishi Koizumi said in a low voice, "It's called Pig Meow, but since it has changed owners, it has to change its name, so please give him a name." ”

"Pig seedlings?" Yu Qiuping also misheard the name of the cat, glanced at the kitten with only two palms in his hand, and casually named it, "Then it's called Miao Miao." ”

"Sir, the next thing is the good luck that the little girl can barely tell, but the little girl can't guarantee whether it is accurate or not." Imaishi Koizumi bowed to Yuqiu again, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, in 6 years, the catastrophe is coming. Whether Yangshou dissipates or not depends on creation. ”

"I'll go..."Yu Qiuping was shocked again when he heard this, and muttered in his heart: "6 years... Is it only 6 years? This year is the fourth year of Tensho, that is, 1576 A.D. So 6 years later, is it... 1582..."

"This is not a good guarantee, because this hexagram may not be accurate." Imaishi Koizumi's voice sounded again, "But there is a hexagram that can be guaranteed." ”

"What?"

"Sir, today, there will be a plague of blood."
