Chapter VIII

I finally survived until the next morning, and I was still skeptical of what Baoxian said, why didn't Qiu Ji come? After waiting in the room for a while, suddenly a maid came in a hurry and said at the door, "I'm really sorry, Miss Sharo, she can't come today." ”

Yes? I really didn't come, my heart suddenly felt relieved, I don't have to be tortured today, but I have some doubts, and I hurriedly asked: "Why?" “

Miss Hui, it's a taboo. Akihime: She can't travel today. The maid replied.

Taboo, I'm no stranger to this word, is an act of avoiding the "evil party". According to the theory of the Nine Stars Qi and Qimen Dunjia, all directions between heaven and earth are guarded by different star gods, such as the Great General, the Taibai God, the Tianyi God, the Golden God, and so on. If you touch the gods, you will be punished with death. Therefore, if you see the corpse of a cat or a dog or something filthy on the road, you should stop what you are doing so far and go home to ask for forgiveness and protection from the gods. At that time, people believed in this very much.

"I see, you can get out." I said calmly, but there were bursts of joy in my heart, wishing that she was guilty of taboos every day.

After a short time, Baoxian came as promised and took me into an ox cart.

The plum fragrance on the car is fresh and pleasant, I like this fragrance very much, yesterday I also asked the maid for some, and put my single clothes on the cage to smoke for a night.

"By the way, Qiu Ji committed a taboo today, and she didn't come." I smiled.

A smile flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly remembering what he said yesterday, I stared at him and said, "Did you do it?" ”

"Me? I didn't do anything, oh hehehe. ”

"I don't believe it, seeing you laughing so poorly, it must be you." I snorted softly.

"Owing?"

"I just want someone to punch you."

"Oh, hehehe."

"Here we go again..." I don't look away, I don't look at him anymore.

After a while, the ox cart passed through the Suzaku Gate and stopped next to the Taiji Hall in the Great Inner of the Heian Palace, which was the centralized office of the provinces and ministries of the imperial court, and the Yinyang Liao was located on the east side of the Taiji Hall and the right side of the Zhongshu Province.

"Go a little further here, and it is the inner part of the Lord's residence, that is, the harem." He pointed to me a short distance ahead.

The emperor's harem and the offices of the officials were too close, and I was slightly surprised, I had heard that in the Heian era, when Confucianism was not influenced by Confucianism in China, the life of the harem and the nobles was relatively open. Although there are men and women in the harem, there are no eunuchs, but some ordinary male palace guards are guarding, and some nobles can enter and exit the harem, which is not a special exception.

"Sharo, you have to stay here obediently, or else..." Bao Xian didn't know when he got out of the car, and he smiled, "I'm afraid you have to learn more." ”

"Don't worry, brother, I will stay here obediently!" I immediately swore that his threat was so devastating. As soon as he finished speaking, a white cat suddenly rushed over, Baoxian picked it up, and said with a smile: "Good boy, you pretended to be dead just now, so let's accompany Sharo now." ”

Playing dead? I was stunned and said, "Could it be that Qiu Ji's taboo is because I saw it pretending to be dead?" ”

"Oh, hehehe, with my Shikigami with you, you won't be bored." He smiled bitterly as he walked away.

Shikigami? By the way, he's an onmyoji, and for some reason, I think his onmyoji is a bit similar to mine.

I lifted the curtain and looked out, there seemed to be a bullock cart parked next to it, some simple, some gorgeous, most of them with their family crest painted on it, and this seemed to be a place to park. I couldn't help but feel a little itchy in my heart, and as soon as I moved, the cat meowed in warning.

I glared at it, rolled my eyes, took out a charm, recited a few words, and the charm immediately turned into a mouse, and it stabbed out of the ox cart, and the cat immediately reflexively followed it out.

That's it, I clapped my hands proudly, as soon as my body moved, the bat fan in my hand slid down, and I was about to get out of the car to pick it up, but suddenly I heard footsteps coming here.

The footsteps came closer and closer in my direction, and came closer and closer, and actually stood in front of my ox cart.

Through the curtain, a scent of light breeze and a slightly cool fragrance wafted in, and it was indescribably good, and I faintly saw a purple figure.

How could this man be standing here, I looked down and saw that a corner of my willow-colored robe had accidentally leaked out from under the curtain. Oops, someone must have found out.

The man seemed to bend over, and then my bat fan was handed under the curtain, and along the fan, I saw the elegant and slender fingers, and the white, almost transparent skin.

"It smells so good." He whispered, a little gorgeous in his sexy voice. Listening to his voice, he should be a little older than Baoxian.

"Thank you." I whispered, and just reached out to take the fan, but the man didn't mean to let go of it.

"Hey, do you give it or not?" I tugged at the fan and pulled it in my direction.

"This fragrance seems to be a commonly used incense for Lord Baoxian." He let go gently.

Wow, this person has a good nose, he can be regarded as a beauty who smells incense, I suddenly imagined that He Mao Baoxian was wearing twelve singles, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"I can't imagine that Lord Baoxian is hiding here... He seemed to move forward a little more, his hand already touching the curtain, ah, this man, wouldn't be bold enough to lift the curtain? Although I'm not the kind of aristocratic daughter who can't see anyone, it's always a little strange to open the curtain so rashly.

Suddenly, his voice sounded low outside the curtain, "The spring glow covers the spring flowers, and the color of the flowers is unknown." Only the breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers is smuggled in. ”

He paused, and then said, "I wonder if I am lucky enough to see the colors today?" ”

"No, you can't." I simply refused, ----- this, is it considered someone flirting with me?

"So, can you tell me your name?"

"No, besides, I'm not a spring flower, it's just a weed in spring, so don't take it to heart." As I spoke, I was a little amused in my heart, this man didn't even know what the person in the car looked like, so he started to pursue it, inexplicably, in case it was an ugly thing.

"A weed in spring? Hehe. He chuckled softly and couldn't help but want to lift the curtain.

"Your Excellency, why are you here?" The voice of Baoxian reached my ears in time. I am glad that the constitution always appears so timely.

However, the man in front of him is actually the right minister, but listening to his voice is very young, the right minister is equivalent to the right prime minister of China, and he is a high-ranking official from the two, and naturally he is also a noble palace.

Before the right minister could answer, Baoxian was already in front of me without a trace.

"Lord Baoxian, I don't know the one in the car." The right minister is obviously still very unwilling.

"Oh, hehehe, Lord Right, you have also discovered this." Bao Xian laughed ambiguously, lowered his head and whispered in the right minister's ear: "You can keep it secret." ”

His enchanting eyes flickered, and the right minister seemed to be a little unstoppable, but he just smiled and said: "It turned out to be Lord Baoxian's confidante, then, take your leave." ”

As he heard his footsteps go away, the curtain was lifted, and Bao Xian got into the car and sat down across from me.

"That person is the Right Minister? I look very young. I asked curiously.

"Yuan Gaoming is the Lord's own brother, and it is natural for him to be a minister." Baoxian didn't seem to have much interest in talking about this again, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "I'll show you around." ”

"Where did Uncle and Qingming go?" I asked again.

"My father went to Fujiwara Dai's mansion today to divinate for him, and I'm afraid I'll be back very late."

If I knew that it was such a distraction, I would definitely not come out with Baoxian, it turned out that I was sitting in the car and went around the streets of the capital, and Baoxian did not allow me to get out of the car, I could only helplessly look at the scenery outside, and my heart was really depressed.

Heiankyo is not small, and by the time the ox cart reaches the four main roads, it has already darkened, perhaps because there was no nightlife in ancient times, and there were no people on the streets.

It was raining lightly, and the sky was even darker, when I suddenly heard a sound from Gerdon, and the ox cart tripped over something, and stopped.

I looked out and was surprised to find a woman in a cute yellow dress standing not far away, holding an oil-paper umbrella, smiling.

"Brother, look." I pointed over there, and although the woman was beautiful, I knew she wasn't ----- human. Baoxian looked at me and whispered, "Sharo, stay in the car." Then he lifted the curtain and got out of the car. The woman smiled even more when she saw him go, and motioned for Baoxian to share an umbrella with her.

Rain girl, I suddenly remembered this name, I seem to have heard before, on a rainy day, there will be a woman standing in the rain, if there is a man who shares an umbrella with her at this time, then she will always follow him. After that, the man would have been living in a humid environment, and because it was difficult for ordinary people to resist such heavy moisture, he would die soon after.

He should know about it, right?

When Bao Xian approached her, she smiled coincidentally, and was about to open the umbrella, but her whole body was already shrouded in a white light, and the Big Dipper Talisman in Bao Xian's hand sealed her one step ahead of her, only to see her instantly turn into a wisp of white smoke and drill into the umbrella, Bao Xian quickly sealed the charm on the umbrella, picked up the umbrella and returned to the ox cart.

"It's alright, Sharo." He smiled slightly, put the umbrella aside, and glanced at me again. Said: "Are you afraid? ”

I shook my head, joke, this girl also deals with ghosts.

"This is an era when people and ghosts coexist, so Sara must not go out at night alone, otherwise he will be eaten by ghosts." The corners of his mouth lifted, and he stared at me with a smile and said, "That brother will be sad." ”

"Hehe, I'm not afraid, with Brother Onmyoji here, all the ghosts are scared away." I smiled at him, and now I can only pretend that I don't know anything.

"Fool." He struck me on the head with a juniper fan, and an elusive look crossed his eyes.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and just as our ox cart had crossed four roads and turned into Omiya Road, there was also an ox cart on the side of the road, followed by a dozen young men in white hunting clothes, and the two ox carts met impartially at the street entrance.

In the crowd, I saw at a glance Abe Qingming, who stood out from the crowd, as light as a white lotus, but seemed to have absorbed all the fragrance of the moonlight, and easily became the focus of others' eyes. So, isn't it sitting in this ox cart?

"Baoxian, is that you?" The voice of Kamo Tadayuki came from the ox cart, and the two ox carts met impartially at the corner of the street, and Baoxian sighed helplessly, got out of the cart, and saluted his father.

"Who else is in the car?" Zhongxing asked again.

"Back to my father, it's Sharo." The voice of the constitution is even more helpless.

"What!"

"I just want to show Sharo the capital."

"Nonsense, how can she come out casually as a woman, how do you do your brother." Lord Tadayuki looked angry.

I looked at Baoxian sympathetically, and the expression on his face didn't seem to be convinced.

I glanced at Qingming again, and he seemed to have no interest in what was happening here, just staring indifferently into the distance.

It's not usually cool, but when he turned around, I pulled up the corner of the curtain and waved at him with a smile. He was stunned, nodded at me, and turned his head sideways to continue to look ahead.

Qingming actually reacted, oh, it's so strange.

The watery moonlight fell on Qingming's body, making his side face a little more elegant.

His face changed suddenly, he lowered his head, and whispered a few words beside the curtain of Zhongxing.

Seeing that the curtain moved, He Maozhong got off the ox cart, his face was rare and solemn, looking in the direction pointed by Qingming, his face changed even more, he whispered to Baoxian, and Baoxian's face immediately changed. I suddenly felt a strong enchanting aura in my body, and when I looked up, something like a gloomy mist was rolling in front of me, approaching this direction.

There are so many ghosts, such a depressing feeling, even Lord Tadashi and Baoxian are so nervous, a stirring spirit in my heart, could it be... Could it be that you met the legendary --------- Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night?
