'Suspicion, malice out of distrust. Kaguya thought in her heart, but her face was silent, and she said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I thought of something bad." ”

"Really? I always feel like you're a lot colder! With an inquiring look, Qingming asked, "What did I do to make you unhappy?" ”

"You don't have to make me happy, besides, I'm a person with a cold personality by nature." Without continuing on the topic, Kaguya pulled away from the subject.

"Remember, I said it before! If you want me to help, you have to pay the price. "Kaguya is colorful.

"This ...... Of course, I remember that, and I don't have any plans to do it. Qingming defended himself: "Whatever you mention, my Abe family can satisfy you." ”

"Money?" Kaguya knew what Haru meant.

In this regard, she shook her head and said: "Money is useless to me, I want something else." ”

"Something else?" Qingming was stunned for a moment.

"Before I met you, my family elders and I had been practicing in the depths of the deserted forest. I don't know anything about the outside world. ”

"So, the reward I want is the common sense of life in this world."

"That's it?" Harumi was stunned by Kaguya's cheap request.

"Yes, how many city-states are there for humanity? Where is the location? What is a youkai? How to define the strength or weakness of a youkai? I need to know all of this. ”

"This ...... It's not an easy thing to do! There's so much knowledge involved in this area. ”

"It's okay, what I have is time. Moreover, I am a very smart person, and I learn everything very quickly. Kaguya boasted with a cold expression.

"That'...... After that......" Holding back a smile, Qingming said with a stiff expression.

"I will be by your side, for me, the unity of knowledge and action is the fastest way to teach."

"No problem!" Qingming's face was full of the word justice, and he said, "I'm a person! Knowledge is also one of the best, and I am very happy to be able to repay you with knowledge! ”

"Really?" Looking at the excited Qingmei, Kaguya frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

After that, Kaguya temporarily settled down in the Abe clan. And after the treatment of drugs, the hunter also came to his senses.

Next, take a turn of conditioning. A month later, the hunter was alive again.

Hunters and Qingming have nothing to do with each other. Before, Qingming's words were just his protection of hunters.

To be honest, the hunter also has a credit for Harumi. If it weren't for his yelling, he attracted Harumi who was lost in the forest.

So, he found the king of Tianhao and walked out, and he didn't know when?

In response, after saving his life, Qingming gave him some money and let him go.

One day after that, just as Harumi was explaining the culture of the city-states in this world to Kaguya, a servant in a black servant robe walked over.

"Young master, the city lord has something to look for you."

"What's the matter?" Raising his head, Qingming took his gaze away from the scroll.

"It seems to be a ghostly thing." The servant bowed his head and replied.

"Got it!" With a wave of his hand, Qingming said to Kaguya, "This time, the affairs of the city-state will end here!" ”

"Hmm......" nodded, and Kaguya stood up from the low table. After that, she glanced at the departing servant and asked Qingming, "What kind of ghost did he just say?" ”

"This ...... Don't you know? Qingming was a little surprised.

"You may have touched it, but the name is different." Kaguya explained.

"Oh~~! Yes, every place has its own taboos. So, let's talk as we go! With that, Harumi and Kaguya walked side by side.

"A long, long time ago, probably after the War of the Gods!" Qingming spoke eloquently, and Kaguya was stunned for a moment.

"From that time on, there was a gap between people. People begin to be unable to understand each other. ”

"That's when ghosts and ghosts appeared." As he spoke, Qingming used spiritual power to write the four characters of 魑魍魉 in mid-air.

"The Charm is not an existence, but a whole of monsters. Of course, the monster is a layman's description of the ghost. As far as our own internal affairs are concerned, they are all called by the charm of the ghost. ”

"Every word represents a kind of existence. Among them, 魑 refers to the mountain demon. And the mountain demon refers to the existence of ordinary earthly beings who have gained wisdom and cultivated demonic power. My Tianhao King is the Mountain Demon. ”

"And the charm refers to the mountain monster, and the mountain monster refers to the existence of ordinary earthly beings who have gained wisdom and cultivated demonic power to mutate. Every mountain monster is different. ”

"The dragon is a water demon, and it is the animals in the water that have cultivated the existence of demonic power."

"As for the last spirit, it is a water monster, which refers to the existence of a unique change in the water demon."

"And what about the ghosts?" Knowing the difference between youkai and monsters, Kaguya asked about the ghosts.

"Ghost ...... It's a change after a person's death......" The expression on Qingming's face was a little heavy when he said this.

Then, as he spoke, he wrote the word "ghost" in midair.

This is the word "ghost", the lower part is a person, and the upper part is an extremely terrifying head. The moral of it is that the ghost is a terrifying monster that resembles a human being. ”

"You say it came after death?" Kaguya asked.

"Yes, there is a power that arises because of man's thinking. This kind of power is called spiritual power. ”

"Onmyoji, shrine maiden, the reason why our spiritual power exists is also because of this power."

"And the ghost is because I thought a lot about extreme thinking about resentment before I was born. As a result, because of the effect of spiritual power, the souls of ordinary people have a chance to exist in this world. ”

"Because the reason for the existence of demons is mostly resentment, demons kill humans. In a sense, being killed by a ghost is also a well-deserved death. After all, ghosts will seek revenge on their enemies first. When he said this, Qingming smiled wryly.

"I see, around the people of your clan, those spirits floating in the air are ghosts!" Kaguya said as he pretended to come to his senses.

"Spirit? Is that what you call it? With a mutter, Qingming replied: "Yes, we onmyoji are originally a profession of catching ghosts. The spirits you see are all ghosts that our people have captured. Of course, they are all Shikigami of our race now. ”

"Shikigami...... Spiritual creatures of service, huh? ”

"Hmm!" Qingming nodded and said, "You also know that it takes time for us Onmyoji to draw talismans, and the enemy often won't give us time. So, at this time, the onmyoji needs a helper to delay time. Protecting oneself from subdued ghosts as shikijin is a common means used by onmyoji. ”
