Chapter 27 Section VI

The old man and his assistant went west.The two had already walked out of the city.It looks like it is walking slowly, but it is actually much faster than ordinary people. Boya almost trotted to keep up. The river under the bridge just now is Tenjin River.There are no people around. A group of people walked on the field path, occasionally turning left or right, but generally heading west. After walking for a while, a dim red light appeared ahead. Taking a closer look, it was indeed as Wei Fu said, it was two red-hot iron pillars. The old man sent off the hand that was holding the assistant, and said, "Go, go and hug that pillar."

Wei Fu looked at the old man with tears in his eyes. "Hurry up and hug you, or I will look for you every night for the rest of my life." The old man said. He shook his head left and right as if refusing. "Go!" The old man pushed Weifu's back hard.Taking a few steps for the assistant, he almost fell down, and in order to avoid falling down, he hugged the iron pillar. "It's hot!" "It's hot!" As he yelled, his body started to emit smoke. Soon, Wei Fu let out a scream of "wow", and his whole body began to burn.A huge flame blazed up.Supplemented by the flames, it slowly floated into the air.

After a closer look, it turned out that it was not a supplement, but a paper cut into a human shape.Burnt pieces of paper gradually floated into the sky. "Bastard!" the old man yelled, gnashing his teeth. "Someone tricked me!" The old man squinted around, and shouted again: "Then Weifu is not capable of doing such a thing. It must be a monk who did a good thing, or an onmyoji..." "Guess it?" Qingming replied nonchalantly. The old man turned around. "You really committed a crime." Qingming walked towards the old man. "Hey, hello, Qingming..." Boya whispered, holding the long knife on his waist, and stood beside Qingming guardingly.

"You can speak up, Boya." "Oh." Boya breathed a sigh of relief and exhaled. The old man stared at the two of them with one eye and said, "It turns out that you ruined my good deed..." The tip of a blue-black tongue that was split into two pieces appeared in his mouth. "Next time, I will go to your house and pick you up to hug this iron pillar." After hearing this, Boya shrank her shoulders and said, "Any-time, anytime!" "No, Boya!" Seimei shouted. "That's what you said..." The old man smiled wickedly, "It's your misfortune that you responded to my words. I will pick you up tomorrow night."

The old man danced with the tip of his tongue that was split into two pieces, and disappeared in an instant. When Boya came back to his senses, he realized that they were surrounded by spring fields. There was a tall cherry tree above the two of them, and the branches extending in all directions were full of cherry blossoms. In the moonlight, the cherry blossoms on the branches kept falling. Seimei and Boya are standing under the cherry blossoms. The old man and the iron pillar disappeared. "Did I say something I shouldn't have said?" Boya asked. "said." "yes?"

"That's all right, that guy will come to your house to pick you up." "real?" "Bo Ya, because you let the other party know." "Let's talk?" "You've been cursed. If that's the case, you can't hurry. We must settle everything tonight..." "What should I do?" "go back." "go back?" "Go back to Fujiwara's mansion as the assistant."
