The midday sun is shining overhead, and even in autumn, it is still hot.

The woman had already entered her room, and the clothesline from which she had just removed her gown was still shaking slightly.

Chen Beibei glanced at the wood hibiscus tree with beautiful flowers.

The hibiscus flowers are still light white in the morning, and by noon, they have turned pink.

Once, a friend asked Chen Beibei, what color of flowers, three changes a day?

Chen Beibei shook his head.

Friends said it was a hibiscus flower......

Obviously it is a very common flower, and it is found in Chen Beibei's hometown, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now in the ruined temple in this wilderness, in the season of withering grass and trees, I have noticed it again.

I don't know what the color of the flowers will look like in the evening.

"Master, what do we do now?"

Firefly looked at the wooden door that the woman had closed and asked Chen Beibei.

Nie Xiaoqian was waiting for Ning Caichen in this temple......

Then it means that Nie Xiaoqian has already met Ning Caichen, and the two of them already have a relationship.

It's just that now Ning Caichen is gone.

Chen Beibei seems to have realized what the task he has to do is.

That is to let Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian have a perfect ending.

Chen Beibei's current identity is an onmyoji, and what the onmyoji has to do is actually deal with some ghosts and human beings.

So that ghosts and humans can live in peace.

In the eyes of the Onmyoji, there are good and bad people, and the same is true for ghosts.

As for the bad, it is natural to stop them from doing evil. For the good ones, they need to live well.

"Let's go back to our room and wait for the girl to go out next time."

Chen Beibei looked at the fireflies and said lightly.

……

"Snow Maiden, do you want to come to bed?"

Entering the door, Chen Beibei asked the Snow Girl.

Snow Maiden was still resting against the wall by herself, just like last night, and she didn't know how she fell asleep last night.

"No, you don't."

Snow Maiden replied very simply.

Chen Beibei obviously hadn't done anything strange, but the Snow Girl still didn't seem to be at ease with him.

"Snow Maiden, can I ask you a question?"

"Say."

"What are you?"

Youkai are generally transformed into animals and plants, but of course there are some strange non-living forms that can also transform into demons.

However, what was the Snow Girl like before she became a monster, this is what Chen Beibei has never known.

"I've always been like this."

Since you have been conscious, is it a youkai?

And it's an ancient monster thousands of years ago, a monster like the Snow Maiden can actually be called a god in a sense.

After all, she didn't do anything harmful, and she also made the world snow......

The Snow Maiden's gaze looked through the window, looking into the distance.

His eyes were cold, and his expression was a little dull.

Seems to have remembered something again......

"Snow girl, don't miss the past too much."

Chen Beibei looked at the Snow Girl and said lightly.

Snow Girl's heart probably still pretends to be her lover.

Just like the hibiscus flowers that bloom year after year in this ruined temple.

is also like Nie Xiaoqian, who is lonely waiting for Ning Caichen's return in the next room.

"Hmm."

The Snow Maiden withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes.

Chen Beibei Sometimes, when he looks at the Snow Girl, he inexplicably thinks of a word, pure.

Pure, clean and without a trace of impurities.

This is true for the body, and so is for the soul.

……

When the sun's rays shine through the windows on the west side.

The whole world softened.

Dusk has arrived.

Chen Beibei walked out of the room, the plain woman.

On the rooftop, watching the sunset in the distance.

In the corner on the right side of the room, a bamboo ladder is erected.

Chen Beibei walked to the ladder and climbed up.

In the past, mud brick and green tiled houses could sit on the roof.

As long as you walk steadily, you will generally not crush the tiles.

"Smack......

As soon as Chen Beibei stepped on it, he broke a tile.

When the plain-clothed woman heard the voice, she turned her head and glanced at Chen Beibei.

"Childe, why did you come up?"

There was no reproach in the plain woman's tone, and her voice was very soft.

"I want to see the sunset......

Chen Beibei said a reason, after all, Chen Beibei is not easy to say, he is here to find her.

Standing on the roof, my vision suddenly became much wider.

The clouds on the horizon have been dyed pale yellow by the setting sun.

The woman sat on a small stool on the roof, supporting her chin with her two hands, her plain white sleeves sliding down her forearms.

His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes looked into the distance again.

Chen Beibei cautiously walked to Nie Xiaoqian's side, and then squatted down.

Because she is sitting, if Chen Beibei is standing, when she speaks, the woman needs to look up.

This will give her an uncomfortable feeling.

And it's still dusk, and when you stand up, the shadow will be stretched very long, and it looks a little awkward.

"Girl, there seems to be something hidden in your eyes."

Chen Beibei said softly.

Chen Beibei didn't look at Nie Xiaoqian, but still looked at the sunset in the distance.

So when you speak, it's a bit like you're talking to yourself.

"What is hidden?"

"A Man ......"

The woman's body shook slightly, and it was very subtle.

This is what Chen Beibei saw from the shadow of a woman.

"yes, yes."

The woman's voice was small, accompanied by a sigh.

The woman glanced at the wood hibiscus tree in the courtyard: "That man, I heard that he went to that direction to test his fame." It's been a year, and when he left, the hibiscus in the yard was blooming, and now it's blooming again......"

One year is enough.

Even if Ning Caichen returns to his hometown, he should pass by Lanruo Temple.

Maybe there's some reason why he didn't come here.

"Do you have a picture of him?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"...... photos?"

The woman looked confused, as if she couldn't understand the word.

"It's ...... portrait"

"No, what does Childe want to do?"

"Help you find him."

The woman's gaze suddenly fell on Chen Beibei's body.

At this time, a cloud floated in front of the setting sun, and the light was even darker.

Chen Beibei also looked at the woman......

Chen Beibei didn't lie, he was indeed planning to go to Ning Caichen.

In order to help Nie Xiaoqian is one of the reasons. There is another reason, that is, to complete their own tasks.

"Childe, please come with me......"

After saying that, the woman stood up and descended from the ladder to the roof.

Chen Beibei followed her quietly and did not speak.

The woman went into her room again, but did not close the door.

Chen Beibei stood outside the door, not knowing whether to go in or not.

"Childe, please come in......"
