Chapter 9 Who am I in the past and present life, the witch bellflower for ten years

"It's been ten years, and it's spring again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's been a full decade since I came into this world, and now, who am I? Before the crossing, I was nineteen years old, and when I was really sensible except for my childhood, it was only ten years. I feel like I've really stepped into this era and become the person here.

According to Harumi, the real name is a bondage, a powerful spell. In the past ten years, everyone has called me Kikyo, and even myself have become accustomed to the name. Does that mean I'm bound here?

Shrine maiden Kikyo ・・・・・・ the most powerful shrine maiden since Tsuiko, with the spiritual power of one in a million, good at breaking demons with arrows, knowing herbs and medical skills, approachable, kind and pure.

Ever since following Harumi to learn the advanced inheritance knowledge of the shrine maiden.,Ever since I was appointed to become a shrine maiden at Hakurei Shrine.,I've been living like this・・・・・・

Meditate daily, practice bowarts, learn healing, study spell enchantments, and sometimes fight off several invading demons・・・・・・

In his spare time, he helped the poor people to heal their diseases・・・・・・

Living in the shrine for a long time, self-cultivation, and gradually less distracting thoughts in my heart, I seem to understand the practice of bellflower in history. This heart is becoming more and more pure.

It's like the providence in the dark, and I'm like this, but it's very close to the bellflower in history. ”

At the water's edge, the bellflower sighed leisurely at his reflection and stared at it for a long time, quiet and peaceful.

I don't know when Kikyo likes to be alone, sit quietly, and just do nothing quietly and stay all day.

Not only will they not be thirsty, hungry, or even tired, but their spiritual power will also improve to a considerable extent.

This is not normal.

Kikyo knows.

She didn't ask Qingming, even though Qingming was now a famous onmyoji in the Sixty-Six Kingdoms.

She herself vaguely guessed that she was gradually accepting this identity. She is becoming history, becoming a bellflower, becoming a tragic figure in what was once an anime.

Just, so what?

Anime, and it's not real history!

"Inu-shogun has died of illness, and Inuyasha is probably on the run from his human mother, so do you want to save him? But I still don't want to get married, even if it's the male lead! If you really want to talk about it, Qingming is also good-looking, and she is still human. But, even if it's Qingming, I don't want to marry unless he proposes it himself. ・・・・・・ I wouldn't have been like that ten years ago. I'm really getting closer and closer to Kikyo, and even my personality, thoughts, and hobbies are becoming more and more like the things of ・・・・・・ that life, although I roughly remember it, it's all blurry, but the memory of this life is getting clearer. It's like having a dream, and now you wake up and gradually forget what happened in the dream. Kikyo is my identity in this life.

Legend has it that a merchant from Kyoto was born out of a bamboo goddess who was more beautiful than any woman in the world. This is about the plot of Taketori Monogatari.,The beauty of Kaguya Hime-hime of Penglai Mountain.,I don't know how it compares to Kikyo. ”

Kikyo combed his long black hair and drooped it down to his waist, his supple hair fluttering and gently brushing the water with the wind.

This situation and this scene can be put into the painting.

After tidying up, Kikyo took back his scattered thoughts, and returned to the shrine with his bags and bow and arrows.

"What if I'm really a bellflower? Isn't there still the famous Great Onmyoji here? ”

The shrine maiden thought so, and had infinite trust in Harumi's abilities.

That's not the trust in the legend, but the confidence accumulated in the past ten years, again and again, following Qingming everywhere to kill demons and demons.

It is worthy of being the great onmyoji who will pass on the Yin and Yang Dao in the future.

Even when he was young, he could easily suppress the Hundred Ghost Night Walk, which was a hundred ghost night walk with a scale of tens of thousands formed by the big monster leading countless elite monsters!

Write a spell at will, and you can deter the big monster.

Kill the evil and man-eating monsters everywhere, and in the past ten years, the big monsters alone have died three dozen times. Ordinary monsters were killed, not 100,000, but 80,000 or 90,000.

It's Kikyo Terrier, who also personally used the Demon Breaking Arrow to shoot a seriously injured big monster and purify many villages polluted by demonic energy.

Later, the big monsters were also reluctant to provoke Qingming and avoided him as much as possible. Because even if it was a siege, it never hurt Harumi, but Harumi once summoned the incarnation of Amaterasu Daigami with the help of the gods' skills, and destroyed an entire youkai country, that is, that station, so that the yokai did not dare to openly invade human villages, and took the initiative to abandon the custom of a hundred ghosts walking at night.

In remote villages, there are even rumors that as long as Qingming's name is pronounced aloud, it can make the monsters dare not invade and avoid evil.

"I don't know the source of the scriptures, but I know the clear and the bright."

Qingming has a very high reputation among the people and is respected as the Duke of Qingming.

Among the nobles, he is also good at dancing with long sleeves, and he is very friendly with many nobles. Even the current emperor once summoned him to Kyoto to talk about astronomy, geography, and people's appearance.

It is no wonder that in the future, the Onmyoji will flourish from Qingming.

Kikyo returns to Hakurei Shrine.

The shrine is no longer what it used to be.

After Qingming became rich, he expanded this place many times.

Today, the shrine is very large, about 100 acres.

Later, a group of shrine maidens were cultivated one after another, or they were attracted by the reputation of the shrine maiden Kikyo. Although Qingming is powerful, in the end, he is an onmyoji, and Kikyo, who is a shrine maiden, has become the banner of today's shrine maiden. You must know that there is competition between priests, witches, demon slayers, and Buddhist monks!

Many shrine maidens stayed in several villages for a long time, relying on the offerings of the villages to live a barely subsistence life, and more shrine maidens kept wandering to make a living.

This is caused by the times, and it is not easy to be able to eat enough every day here, so where is there still money to supply the shrine maiden? Only by pooling money from each family can we afford to raise a shrine maiden.

The shrine maidens are basically good at medicine, understand herbal medicine, and treat people in nearby villages for a living. As for exorcism, most shrine maidens can only deal with ordinary evil spirits, and they are often injured or even killed by them, and the reward is very small.

Like Kikyo, who has powerful spells and has his own shrine to live in, it is already the only one among the sixty-six countries.

As far as Kikyo knows, the best of the other shrine maidens is nothing more than a white bhikshuni offered by the Fujiwara family in Kyoto, which is actually a psychic shrine maiden who can predict some small things in the future.

The priests are different, they usually have an aristocratic background and do not have to worry about food and clothing.

Onmyoji often use family blood as a connection, with family as support, even a wandering onmyoji can often find a next home.

Because they are men after all, and men naturally have a higher status than women, and this is the case in this era.

In addition, the Onmyoji also has a Shikigami and has a complete lineage, even the wandering Onmyoji.

The reason is very simple, if you are illiterate, you can't learn yin-yangjutsu, and if you're not erudite, you can't become an onmyoji. A self-taught onmyoji without a teacher is almost non-existent. Well, maybe Qingming is an exception, Kikyo thinks so.

The shrine maiden started from a low start, and often the first skill that a shrine maiden taught her apprentice was to recognize herbs. In fact, shrine maidens often work part-time as doctors, and exorcism is not as good as medical skills.

The business of exorcism does not happen every day, and it is often quite dangerous, and the remuneration is not particularly large. What really makes the profession of shrine maiden have been passed down tenaciously is this medical technique. Kikyo's medical skills are taught by Qingming, which is considered to be very exquisite, and it is the peak in this era.

The reputation of the bellflower has become a legend in the circle of shrine maidens, and over the years, shrine maidens have come from far away to learn the arts.

Hakurei Shrine has almost become a shrine maiden's holy place, or a training base and base camp.

Kikyo gave lectures here, teaching them medicine, herbs, bows and arrows, and occasionally Qingming would take the time to give a lecture on spells.

Walking in the shrine, the shrine maidens who see her along the way, no matter their age, no matter what they are doing, will immediately bow respectfully and call out "Kikyo-sama".

Kikyo also smiled and nodded in return.

Inside, there was the sound of Lang Lang's endorsement, which was the little witches reading and reading, reciting the names of herbs, and the teaching materials were written by bellflowers.

Outside, several elderly shrine maidens and the little ones identified herbs, practiced bows and arrows, and exercised one by one.

Not far away, there were a few little witches practicing swordsmanship, although it was a wooden sword, it would also hurt・・・・・・

It's getting more and more like school.

Kikyo sighed like this, this is her ten years of hard work!

Suddenly, Kikyo looked at one place.

There was a faint sound of wind and thunder, and the spring thunder shook and shook.

It's just that there is no rain.

"Every spring, Qingming collects spring thunder and makes thunder charms, saying that it is to create thunder beasts as Shikijin. Could it be that this year is the time again? ”

The bellflower doesn't care much, although the smell there is amazing, but after ten years, I have long been accustomed to it.

No matter what Qingming does, it is a matter of course.
