Chapter 5 Paper Man and Ye Er

Nana Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi had no desire to speak, just stared down at the small red clay charcoal stove burning quietly on the low table.

Qianye held a wine glass, savoring the flavor from the Tang Dynasty, as if she missed something. And Nanami Hashimoto quietly raised the corner of his eyes and peeked at the onmyoji in front of him, carefully looking at Qianya.

Nana Hashimoto didn't find it, but if you look closely, this onmyoji named Qianye has a different temperament, wearing a hunting suit and long hair on his head, he looks as handsome as a woman from the side, but his facial features like a knife carving have a unique male fortitude. Like an ancient beautiful man from history, it makes people feel calm and profound. Nana Hashimoto was gradually attracted by the temperament of Chiya, just like reading a gradually unfolding ancient scroll, the more you read, the more addictive it becomes.

Mai Shiraishi noticed Nanami Hashimoto, who had been staring at Qianye beside her, and was suddenly startled. Could it be that Nanami has fallen in love with this onmyoji? Mai Shiraishi couldn't help muttering in her heart, after all, no matter from which point of view, the onmyoji in front of him can be called a handsome and handsome man, and as an onmyoji who can have a shrine in a place like Tokyo, this Chiyo-san is undoubtedly also a rich man. Nanami can't be really tempted, right?

Mai Shiraishi looked at Nanami Hashimoto with puzzled eyes, a little uncertain. But she saw curiosity on Nanami's face instead of fascination, so she let go of her worries a little. After all, as a girl idol, love prohibition is one of the iron rules that they have repeatedly mentioned in their operation after joining Nogizaka 46. However, young Mai Shiraishi doesn't know that a woman's feelings for a man often begin with curiosity.

In order to break the silence, Mai Shiraishi asked, "Senya-san, although Nanamin and I can both dance, but in the case of Kagura Dance, we have never been in contact with it at all, do you have any way for us to complete the dance of the Heavenly Universe Betrayal?" ”

Hearing Mai Shiraishi's question, Nanami Hashimoto looked at Chiya curiously, waiting for his answer.

Qianye put down the wine glass, smiled, took out two paper figures cut out of white paper from her body, and put them on the low table. Nana Hashimoto looked curiously, but didn't find anything strange, just two small figures cut into human shapes with white paper, and tied a knot on the head of the villain with vermilion paper, which looked like hair standing up.

Nana Hashimoto asked curiously, "Does it look ordinary?" Qianye-san, what is this for? ”

Qianye didn't answer, just pointed at the paper figure on the table, and the two paper figures moved slightly, and the paper man who was pressed below pushed the paper figure above to the side with some effort, rubbed his eyes that didn't exist as if he had just woken up, and then stood up and shook his limbs, as if a real person was moving his body. The other paper figure who was pushed aside also stood up with trembling hands and feet, and the two paper figures stood together and nodded towards Qianye, as if bowing.

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi looked at the two small paper figures on the table in amazement, feeling very magical. Nana Hashimoto covered her mouth with a small hand and exclaimed, "Eh, how did you do this?" ”

Qianye tapped the heads of the two paper figures with his fingers, and the two paper figures slowly fell on the low table as if they had lost their strength, no longer moving. Qianye picked up the two paper figures and said to Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, "This is the body of the two Shikigami dependents, and with them, Shikigami can be attached to the two young ladies." As long as the two young ladies do not resist, they will be able to control the movements of the two young ladies. ”

Nana Hashimoto's eyes widened in surprise, a girl who had received a science education since childhood had never heard of such a miraculous thing. After all, in this mysterious and inconspicuous era of the end of the law, whether it is all kinds of ghosts or sorcerers such as onmyoji, they have been extinct for a long time, and ordinary people are only ordinary people under the banner of sorcerers. Originally, Matsumura Sayuri's matter was that Nana Hashimoto didn't think about it at first and solved it through a doctor, but the doctor's helplessness made Nana Hashimoto, who was well-read and strong, think of the theory of ghosts and gods, and came to the shrine to ask for help. What she saw tonight had made Nana Hashimoto doubt the life she had experienced for nineteen years.

Chiya looked at Nana Hashimoto's surprised appearance, smiled and explained, "Shikigami, who was originally a spirit body, can directly attach to people and forcibly control people's bodies. But doing so can cause great damage to the person to whom it is attached, and usually the person possessed by Shikijin will be weakened for a long time. As long as it is placed on the attached person, it can be used as a carrier for the attachment of the Shikigami and the power of the Shikijin can be projected onto the attached person through the dependent body. Speaking of this, Qianye paused, looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who was listening to her intently, and continued: "But because of the separation of a layer of dependence, Shikijin's control over the dependent person is weakened, so the dependent person cannot resist. ”

After speaking, Qianye handed the two dependents in his hand to Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi respectively. The two girls took the body from Qianye's hand and looked at it curiously. Nana Hashimoto put it on the low table, learning the movement of a thousand nights and pointing at the body, trying to make it stand up.

Qianye looked at Nanami Hashimoto's movements and said with a smile: "Miss Hashimoto, if you want to make your body move, you need to learn Yin-Yang Art and use spiritual power to do it. You ......" However, before Qianye's words were finished, the body on the low table shook twice, as if it was about to struggle to get up, but soon collapsed and did not move.

Nana Hashimoto didn't open her mouth, staring at the Yi body and Qianye on the table with wide eyes, not knowing what to say, and Mai Shiraishi next to her was also surprised.

Qianye glanced at Nanami Hashimoto with meaningful eyes and said, "It seems that Miss Hashimoto is very talented in yin-yang arts. ”

Nana Hashimoto was about to say something, and Ruodie outside the door opened the door of the tea room, leaned over and said, "Master, the moon is empty, and the time has come." ”

Qianye glanced at Ruodie, restrained the smile on her face, and said, "I know, then the two young ladies please follow Ruodie first." ”

Nana Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi glanced at each other, so she could only put the body in her hand into the placket of her clothes, stood up and bowed to Chiya and walked towards the door.

After the two left, Qianye stood up, took out a dusty wooden box from the low cabinet on the side, wiped it gently, opened the box and took out a very simple piccolo from inside, and there was a black leaf on the left and a red leaf on the right at the mouthpiece of this piccolo.

Qianye took the piccolo with a nostalgic look in his eyes, as if he was remembering someone, and then put away the box, took the piccolo in his hand and walked out.

————————————————————

In front of the main hall of the shrine, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi were already dressed in Chihaya, wearing a shrine maiden with a former tentia and a hairpin that were only used in Chihaya, holding a sword-shaped Hoko Sensuzu that was different from ordinary Kagura bells, and "hanging the shadow vine of Mt. Tenka on the shoulder strap, the true folding vine grass wrapped around the sky, and holding the small bamboo leaves of Mt. Tenkayama in hand."

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi saw Chiya coming, and they all bowed to him, just like a real shrine maiden, Chiya also bowed back.

Nana Hashimoto said a little nervously: "Qianye-san, such an important ceremony, let's let Miss Ruodie come, I'm afraid that I have no experience with Mai, and if something goes wrong, it won't be good." Mai Shiraishi next to her also had a nervous expression and nodded in agreement.

Qianye smiled and said, "Don't worry, the two young ladies only need to relax their bodies, and leave the rest to you." ”

Nana Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi glanced at each other helplessly, and could only do what the onmyoji in front of them said. So he put down his nervousness, took a deep breath, and barely calmed down.

At this time, Nana Hashimoto did not hold back the quaint piccolo in Chiya's hand, took a curious look, and found the leaf-shaped ornament on the mouthpiece of the piccolo, and said in surprise: "This style! Could it be the ghost flute Ye Er that the 'God of Yaraku' Lord Yuan Boya exchanged after the Suzaku Gate and the Wine Swallowing Boy Ensemble? ”

Qianye looked at Nanami Hashimoto in surprise and admired Nanami Hashimoto's extraordinary. Qianye raised the piccolo in his hand and said, "This is the ghost flute Ye Er, the relic of one of my old friends." ”

Hearing that it was a relic of an old friend, Nana Hashimoto apologized with an embarrassed face: "I'm sorry, Chiya-san." I don't know ......."

Qianye waved his hand and said, "It's okay, my old friend has passed away for many years, and it's a blessing that someone can get to know his old things, and Miss Hashimoto doesn't need to care." The moon will be in the middle of the month, please get ready, two young ladies. ”

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi hurriedly nodded and stood in front of the main hall.

Qianye's expression was grim, his hand pinched the law, and after reciting the spell silently, he pointed at Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, and shouted softly: "Shishen is summoned!" ”

I saw that two white humanoid phantoms suddenly appeared on the bodies of Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, and after wrapping the two, they merged with the two. Nanami Hashimoto, who originally had short hair, and Mai Shiraishi, who had long hair, were transformed into formal shrine maidens with long hair wrapped in white sandalwood paper.

Qianye nodded with satisfaction, and after standing in front of the main hall and praying, he stepped aside and put the ghost flute in his hand to his lips and played it gently.

Accompanied by the sound of a thousand nights' flute, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi slowly spread their arms, tapped their toes, and began to dance their bodies. The white placket and red skirt of the shrine maiden's costume fluttered as the two of them stretched out, and the small bamboo leaves and Hoshi Senling in their hands also sounded softly as their arms swung.

The dance of Tianyu being betrayed finally began with the beautiful music of the ghost flute Ye Er.
