"And what about later? Did this Yellow Springs ghost girl finally return to the Yellow Springs Realm? Hearing the story about her ancestors, even Minako, who was originally shy, forgot her shyness and asked seriously towards Chiya, "What happened to her descendants, do you know Mr. Onmyoji?" ”

"I know, the documents of this Taisha here record the story of this Huangquan ghost girl." Qianye nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, and a scroll that had been placed on the bookshelf flew towards him. After spreading the scroll on the low table and motioning Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto, as well as Minako and Ain, who were sitting at the low table, to look at the records on the scroll, Chiya continued to tell the story of the ghost girl of the Yellow Springs.

"The Huangquan Ghost Maiden was originally the maid of the great god of Huangquanjin, Izanami, and in mythology, Izanagi, who was chased under the leadership of the Eight Thunder Gods, fled in embarrassment, and was a very powerful existence. Even if she doesn't have the idea of harming the world, as long as she stays in the world, she will bring disaster. Therefore, in the Edo period, a powerful onmyoji went to subdue the Yellow Springs Ghost Maiden, and after a fierce battle, the Onmyoji finally defeated the Yellow Spring Ghost Maiden.

After listening to the defeated Huangquan ghost girl tell what happened, the onmyoji communicated with the Huangquan country for the Huangquan ghost girl, and after getting Susanoo's permission, the Huangquan ghost girl who was stranded in the world was finally able to return to the Huangquan country. Her descendants have remained in the present world and have multiplied to this day. ”

As Qianye narrated, the scroll in his hand slowly unfolded, showing the story recorded on the scroll to the four people sitting at the low table. Nana Hashimoto, who was holding a black cat, couldn't hear that the powerful onmyoji that Qianya said should be himself. It's just that Qianye didn't say it directly in order to avoid the two outsiders, Ah Yin and Minako, after all, immortality is still too exciting for ordinary people.

Compared with Nana Hashimoto in the future, Mai Shiraishi, who has memories of the former Tamamo, has a deeper understanding of the ghost girl of Huangquan than Nana Hashimoto. Even for Tamamo front, the Huangquan Ghost Girl is a very difficult existence to deal with. In Tamamo's memory, she once encountered a Huangquan ghost girl, although the Huangquan ghost girl in the human world could not be as powerful as receiving the blessing of Huangquan in the Huangquan country, but she still had the power of a big monster, which even made Tamamo feel troublesome. The Onmyoji who was able to defeat such a powerful Huangquan Ghost Girl in the Edo period could only be done by Chiya.

Thinking of this, Mai Shiraishi looked at Qianye's eyes, and there was a hint of admiration, which made Nana Hashimoto on the side raise her eyebrows in surprise. But fortunately, both A-in and Minako were attracted to all the attention of the story of Chiya and the scroll in his hand, and they didn't find the love in Mai Shiraishi's eyes. And Mai Shiraishi was gently pushed by Nana Hashimoto again, and she reacted quickly and put away her adoring eyes.

After Qianye finished telling the story, Minako was still a little trance-like, after all, not everyone can accept that their ancestors were a monster, or a terrifying existence like the ghost girl of Huangquan. Ah Yin on the side is more accepting of these things because his mother is also a monster, and after Qianye finished telling the story, he can still quickly react and ask Qianye: "So, the wisp of demonic energy wrapped around Minako's soul is actually the demonic energy that she has herself, which comes from the bloodline?" ”

"Yes, that wisp of demonic energy is indeed from Miss Minako's bloodline." Qianye glanced at Ah Yin appreciatively, satisfied with this half-demon's keen comprehension: "It is precisely because that wisp of demonic energy originates from Miss Minako's own bloodline that there is such a situation where demonic energy is entangled in the soul without causing harm. This half-demon brother's comprehension is very good! ”

Speaking of this, Qianye looked at Ah Yin seriously and looked at him carefully. However, after taking a look, Qianye frowned: "Your surname is Che?" ”

Qianye's sudden question made Ah Yin a little confused, but he still nodded a little ignorantly: "Yes, the surname is Che, and ...... was born."

"Born in Chai and Emperor Shakti, your mother is a half-demon, your father is in Cha Yin Jiro, who is also known as 'Crazy A-Yin' in Chai You, you also have an aunt named Sakura, her husband is called Abo, your aunt's son is called Mannan, and his girlfriend is called Ah Quan, am I right?" Before Ah Yin's words were finished, Qianye had already told Ah Yin's situation like a few treasures, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Ah Yin with burning eyes, his eyes were inexplicable.

Qianye's understanding of Ah Yin suddenly surprised both Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, and even Minako on the side opened her eyes wide, looking at this onmyoji who had given her a great shock from the moment she appeared, and she didn't understand why he knew Ah Yin so well.

And although Ah Yin can still maintain his composure, he can also feel the unrest in his heart from the surprise in his eyes. After all, Ah Yin knew that his identity as a half-demon might not be able to hide it, but he didn't expect that the onmyoji in front of him would even know the situation in his family.

Looking at the onmyoji with inexplicable eyes in front of him, Ah Yin felt a flustery in his heart for no reason, and asked Qianye in a trembling tone: "This Onmyoji-sama, how do you know the situation in my family?" Do you know me? Facing the onmyoji who knew him well, Ah Yin, who was a half-demon, felt that cold sweat was pouring out on his forehead.

Qianye looked at Ah Yin, who was a little trembling, and the corners of his mouth suddenly brought a hint of a smile, and a chuckle made Ah Yin tremble: "Why, didn't your parents mention me to you?" When the two of them got married, I completed the marriage ceremony for them, and even your parents came to me to help you when you were born. Your aunt knows me too, and she makes delicious dumplings. ”

"Aunt Sakura's grass dumplings are all firewood and the most delicious!" Speaking of his aunt, Ah Yin instinctively praised him before looking at Qianye curiously: "How did you know my father?" And do you know where they are now? It's been a long time since I left the house together when I was a kid. If you know their whereabouts, please let me know! ”

Ah Yin said this, and in order to show his sincere attitude, he got up from the cushion and knelt in front of Qianye in the way of a dirt seat.

Looking at Ah Yin who was kneeling in front of him, Qianye smiled a little helplessly, and after reaching out to help Ah Yin, he had a wry smile on his face: "Your ability to fight snakes with a stick is really not bad at all compared to your father." When I traveled all over the world, I met your father by chance, and that's how he got entangled. But your father, Mr. Injiro, may seem a little crazy at times, but he is actually a very kind person. He has always been enthusiastic about helping those in need, and it is precisely because of this that your mother chose to marry him despite the huge racial gap between humans and youkai, and gave birth to you. ”

Ah Yin, who was helped up by Qianye, couldn't help but feel a burst of pride when he listened to his praise for his parents, but he still asked Qianye with great concern: "Mr. Onmyoji, do you know the whereabouts of my father and mother?" If you know, please also be sure to tell me that I am grateful for your great kindness. ”

Looking at the excited Ah Yin, Nana Hashimoto on the side didn't think of her parents a little, so she looked at Qianye and persuaded him: "Qianye, if you know where his parents are, tell him, I feel uncomfortable watching him so excited." Saying that, Nana Hashimoto also let go of the black cat that had been holding in his hand before, with a somewhat sad expression. The black cat that was not let go by Nana Hashimoto squatted in front of Nanami Hashimoto, looked at Nanami Hashimoto who suddenly became sad, and raised a front leg and put it on the back of Nanami Hashimoto's knee, as if comforting her wordlessly.

Nana Hashimoto looked at the black cat that comforted him and the concerned eyes of Qianye and Mai Shiraishi on the side, and knew that his sudden sadness made them worry, so after gently wiping the corners of his eyes, Nanami Hashimoto smiled at Qianye and Mai Shiraishi on the side: "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that the expression of Brother Ayin just now reminded me of my parents." Nanami Hashimoto said this, and hugged the black cat in front of her again, and the black cat put her head close to Nanami Hashimoto's cheek, sticking out her tongue and licking the corners of her somewhat moist eyes.

Qianye glanced at Nanami Hashimoto and made sure that she was indeed okay before she looked at Ah Yin, sighed helplessly and said, "I also want to know where my old friends are, but unfortunately, since I last saw your parents ten years ago, I haven't heard from them again." Occasionally, they would send me souvenirs from all over the world, but they were sent through the post office, and I couldn't really get any information other than knowing that they had been traveling around the world. So I'm sorry, half-demon brother, I can't answer your question. ”

"Ten years ago? Mr. Onmyoji, did you meet my parents ten years ago? For Qianye's words, Ah Yin became excited, and hurriedly asked, "May I ask why my parents came to you ten years ago?" Since my aunt and I didn't see them ten years ago, if they go back to Tokyo and don't come to see their relatives, there must be something important! Mr. Onmyoji, please tell me what happened ten years ago! That's the only thing I can know about my parents. ”

Ah Yin said excitedly, and was about to bow down to Qianye, but was stopped by Qianye. And Minako on the side also looked at Ah Yin with concern, with concern in her eyes. Although she felt that she was not familiar with the Onmyoji in front of her, Minako still asked Chiya for Ah Yin's sake: "Mr. Onmyoji, if you know about Ah Yin's parents, please tell him, I believe it must be very important to Ah Yin." As he spoke, he made a big salute to Qianye, just like Ah Yin: "Please!" ”

Looking at Minako, who was saluting him, and Ah Yin, who was about to salute, Qianye said with some tears and laughter: "I didn't say that I wouldn't tell you, what are you doing here?" Get up, for these are old things, and they are not worth such a gift. After saying that, he motioned for Minako and Ain to get up and sit down.

After the two of them sat down, Qianye rubbed his chin and said with memories: "This matter is already ten years ago, and now that I think about it, it is indeed a little strange." Ten years ago, your parents came to visit the shrine out of the blue, and although they didn't look like they were in a hurry, they looked anxious and worried about something. When I asked them if they would visit you and your aunt's family, your father's reply was, 'There's no time, we have to leave as soon as possible,' which really puzzled me. But a few months later, I received a letter from your father from overseas, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it, your father may have been in some kind of trouble at that time, so he had to leave Japan in a hurry. ”

"Then Onmyoji-sama, do you know what kind of trouble my parents are involved in?" When Ah Yin heard the news of his parents, he was excited, and hurriedly asked Qianye, "Are they here to ask for your help?" Ah Yin asked, looking at Qianye with expectant eyes, hoping to hear more about his parents from his mouth.

"It's a pity that your parents came to me just to store something with me and let me keep it for me." Qianye shook his head, and suddenly slapped his forehead as if he remembered something: "I remember, your mother left a sentence at the time, and told me that if their son, that is, the half-demon brother, you plan to follow their footsteps and find this Taisha here, let me give you that thing, and at the same time let me convey that sentence to you." ”

"What are the words? Mr. Onmyoji, please tell me! Knowing that his parents not only left things for him, but also had something to tell himself, this made Ah Yin, who had been thinking that he had been abandoned by his parents for more than ten years, full of excitement and joy in his heart, so that his body trembled a little because of excitement.

Qianye looked at the excited Ah Yin, but asked Ah Yin with a strange smile: "Then this half-demon brother, are you planning to follow in the footsteps of your parents?" As agreed, I must make sure that you want to follow the same path as your parents before I can hand over it to you and relay your mother's message to you. ”

"Following in the footsteps of your parents?" Ah Yin was a little puzzled, but quickly put this doubt behind him, and said to Qianye in an affirmative tone: "Mr. Onmyoji, no matter what path my parents take, I want to know what they left for me, and what kind of words they left behind. This is the first time I've heard from them in over a decade, and as their son, I have to know the news, so please be sure to let me know! ”

"Since you insist, then I'll tell you, and the sentence is: 'Ah Yin, let's go see the cherry blossoms!' After Qianye finished speaking, she looked at Ah Yin's puzzled eyes and explained with a smile: "This is what your mother left behind, as for what it means, she didn't explain, but when you go to follow their footsteps, you will naturally understand what it means." ”
