Chapter Ninety-Six: Onmyoji
Ibaraki understood what Qiao Xi meant.
Hanakaiin Xiuyuan is an onmyoji who is good at using spells, and just now Ibaraki was pressed with demonic energy, and he undoubtedly spent a lot of strength to look nothing unusual except for the sweat on his forehead.
However, if it were to be fought at this time, Ibaraki would be in just right, but he would be in a state of near exhaustion.
Ibaraki was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, three days later, the red maple forest outside the city, a battle!"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Qiao Xi, and then turned around and left the Huakaiyuan house.
Seeing him leave directly, Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan suddenly picked up the tea on the collapse and drank it all.
Qiao Xi's fingertips moved, poured him a glass of cherry blossom wine and handed it over.
Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan was not polite, and he drank it all in one go.
The aura contained in the cherry blossom wine was very mild, and after a glass of wine, the face of Xiuyuan in the flower blossom courtyard was obviously better, and he sighed sideways at Qiao Xi.
"Your friend......"
He only said half a sentence before he stopped, not knowing what he was trying to say,
But Qiao Xi looked at his yard with one hand on his chin, as if he hadn't heard his exclamation.
After a long time, he said a little lazily: "Have you seen the Ibaraki boy?" ”
Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan was slightly stunned, not knowing why Qiao Xi suddenly mentioned the matter of Ibaraki Boy.
However, his impression of the "Ibaraki Boy" is really not good, not to mention that he helped to torture and capture many humans for the feathered fox, and his crazy approach to his father's "drunken boy" made Hanakaiin Hidemoto very disliked.
So at this moment, he raised his eyebrows, and showed his disdain for the Ibaraki boy without care.
Qiao Xi listened to him say how the "Ibaraki Boy" was, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but become more and more intense.
It wasn't until Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan noticed his strange reaction and asked that he picked up the teacup to hide the smile on his lips, and then said:
"Now, do you know the name of my friend?"
Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan faintly sensed that something was wrong, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything wrong, so he glanced at Qiao Xi very cautiously and said, "How can the name of the monster be easily known by others." ”
Qiao Xi put down the teacup, his eyes were filled with a gentle smile, but the deepest part of his eyes was filled with arrogance engraved in his bones.
"That's an incompetent youkai."
He chuckled softly.
"Everyone in the world knows Qingming's name, but no one or monster can use Qingming's name to do anything to him."
Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan: "......"
Nothing to say jpg.
Seeing that he was speechless, Qiao Xi didn't grasp the topic and entangled, and as soon as the conversation changed, he stared at him meaningfully, and said with a smile: "But it's a coincidence, my friend's name is Ibaraki Boy." ”
Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan's face was distorted in an instant.
Qiao Xi was very satisfied with his reaction, laughed and stood up, beckoned to Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan, who couldn't react in shock, and said, "That's the real big monster that was active in the world a hundred years ago...... Hawkers, it's getting late, Xiao Sheng thinks that Your Excellency should have something to deal with now, so I won't bother much.
So...... Three days later, in the red maple forest outside the city, don't lose your life carelessly. ”
Qiao Xi laughed, and without waiting for Xiuyuan to react, his figure disappeared into this courtyard.
Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan couldn't care about Qiao Xi's sudden attitude at this time, and his mind was full of the name "Ibaraki Boy".
The Ibaraki Boy he knew was one of Feathered Fox's subordinates - it might be a bit inappropriate to say that he was a subordinate, but to be precise, he should have been hoping that Qingming would open the gates of Hell and let himself go to Hell than looking for his father, the Drunken Boy.
According to this situation, he and the feathered fox should be in a cooperative relationship.
- But at this moment, another powerful youkai called Ibaraki Boy suddenly appeared?
Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan was jealous at this time, and wondered if he had accidentally broken into the illusion created by some monster.
However, in fact, he knew in his own heart that this was impossible.
After a long time, Hua Kaiyuan took a deep breath and calmed down.
After a long time, he suddenly raised his hand to cover his lips and smiled lowly.
"Huh...... Interesting...... It was so much fun......"
Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan had a smile on his face, and the deepest part of that smile was mixed with an irrepressible excitement.
He's really, hadn't been so excited in a long time.
Since he was born and his talent in yin-yang art was discovered by his family, he was directly held in the palm of his hand by the Hanakaiin family, and when he was less than ten years old and could retire from yokai alone, his reputation began to spread throughout Kyoto.
Until last year's chaos in Kyoto because of the feathered fox, his fame of the Hanakaiin family had almost reached its peak.
Hanakaiin Xiuyuan is known as "the onmyoji closest to Qingminggong", and occasionally thinks that if he can be born in the same era as Qingming, then will he still be like this?
Curious, really curious.
However, it is a pity that he cannot be born in the same era as Qingming Gongsheng.
So he craves adventures, he loves an uncontrolled future.
When I saw in the divination that there was an inextricable relationship between the ghost house and his fate line, the first feeling in the heart of Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan turned out to be excitement.
- If it weren't for the fact that he was still carrying the entire Hanakaiin family, he might have left Kyoto to find many legendary yokai a long time ago.
When he saw Qiao Xi, Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan was sure at a glance that he had divined the future of his mutation, and it must have something to do with the boy.
The young onmyoji tilted his head and squinted at the bright light in the sky.
Although it is autumn, the sun is still very warm, and when you look up, it is dazzling and you can't open your eyes.
Hanakaiin Xiuyuan smiled softly at the sun, and then closed his eyes.
- I'm really looking forward to it.
Ibaraki Boy.
————————————
When Qiao Xi returned to the courtyard, Ibaraki was already sitting cross-legged under the cloister with a wine bowl and drinking heartily.
Seeing Qiao Xi come in, he just raised his eyes and glanced at him, and then drank to himself.
What he is drinking at this time is not the sweet flower wine that Qiao Xi likes, but the demon wine exclusively produced by the wine swallowing boy.
What Ibaraki likes the most is that this kind of wine is strong enough for youkai.
Due to his personality, Ibaraki doesn't usually get drunk like a sake, but occasionally, he wants to feel the feeling of being turned dry by spirits.
