Chapter 23 Section five

The bullock cart stopped. When I got out of the car, I saw a desolate wilderness in front of me. The sun has already dipped to the west, and the fiery red sunset slantly shines on the spring field. In front of the bullock cart, under the fiery red setting sun, there is a deserted hut.Beside the hut is a tall nanmu tree. "I used to live here..." Qingming looked at the hut, and the squirrel with only bat wings flew back and forth in front of Qingming's eyes. Qingming stretched out his left hand, and Xuanshu flew down, folding its wings in Qingming's palm. "Your mission has been completed."

After finishing speaking, Qingming closed his palm, and when he opened it again, Xuanshu had disappeared. "What the hell is that?" Boya asked. "Yes." After Qingming finished speaking, she walked towards the hut. "Qingming, what are you going to do?" "Go and say hello to the Rat Ox Mage." Boya followed Qingming. "Then again, this name is really arrogant. It's just connecting the first mouse and the second cow in the Ganzhi. There is no creativity at all." Boya muttered as he sneaked into the entrance of the hut. The room was very dark.Half of the hut is muddy, and there is a stove on the muddy floor.Half of the inside is a floor room.

The fiery red sunset came in from the window, leaving a window-shaped red cloth on the opposite wall.A few tiny threads of light penetrated through the gaps in the wooden walls, illuminating the hut. There was a slight smell of blood in the air. There was a man with the appearance of a mage lying on the floor of the room. He was lying on the floor with his right elbow and his head on his palm, and his body was facing Qingming and Boya. His long hair was disheveled, and his face was covered with a scruffy beard.In front of the man was a bottle that seemed to be filled with wine and a broken clay bowl.The room smells of alcohol.

"Qingming, you're here." The man said lying down. He looked about fifty-five or six years old. "It's been a long time, Lord Daoman..." Qingming responded with a smile on his red lips. "What? Qingming, what did you just say?" Boya asked Qingming. "Bo Ya, this is Master Rat Ox, Master Ashiya Michiman..." Qingming said. "What? So he..." As famous as Seimei, Ashiya Michimitsu is a well-known onmyoji in the capital. There is a group of onmyoji in Harima country, the system is different from the Kamo family and the Abe family. Among all the onmyoji from Harima country, Ashiya Michimitsu is the most famous one.

Since ancient times, Harima has been a country where onmyoji and alchemists have been born in large numbers. "Qingming, do you want to have a drink before leaving?" Daoman said with a smile. "That wine is not to my taste." After Qingming finished speaking, she raised her eyes to the ceiling. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that two ropes were hanging from the ceiling, with mice and bats tied upside down at the ends of the ropes.And blood was dripping from the mouths of mice and bats, dripping into bottles and bowls. "Seimei, that, that is..." "Bo Ya, you also saw that mouse flying in the air just now. It's a shikigami, and it was transformed by Lord Daoman in this way." Qingming returned to Boya.

"Qingming, what are you doing here..." Daoman asked. "You did something sinful." "You mean, the resurgence I performed for that woman's husband?" "Exactly." "I just fulfilled her wish..." "If you ignore it, the man will go to the woman every night, and that woman will either go crazy or die after all." "It's probably going to be like this." "I don't approve of the dead meeting the living." "That's really nice, Qingming, it's not like you haven't done similar things..." Daoman suddenly turned over and sat cross-legged on the floor.

"Master Daoman, did you do that for money?" Boya who was beside Qingming asked. "You think I'm doing it for money..." Daoman laughed loudly, "Hey, Qingming, teach that man a lesson. Tell him that onmyojis of your level and mine don't take that point at all." Small money is in our eyes. Small people like Zhide, maybe it is possible, we will not act for money." "what?" "We only show up for the 'curse'." "curse?" "Everything is for the 'curse'." "You mean, it's... it's..." Boya hesitated, "It's for people's hearts?"

"It seems that you know a little bit about the principle of curses. That's right, we only come out for the sake of people's hearts. Listen carefully, the so-called resurgence technique, if there is no someone who deeply desires the return of a certain soul, we are helpless. Because that woman A man will go to a woman if he desires to see that man. Who can stop this kind of thing?" After Boya heard this, he held back his words and looked at Qingming with eyes for help. "Master Daoman said the truth..." "Qingming, it's best to stop with matters related to the human world. The reason why we intervene in the human world is, in the final analysis, just for entertainment. Qingming, how? You should be the same, right?"

Doman laughed again, and went on to say: "For fun, sometimes I guess what's in the box right, and of course sometimes I guess wrong. Anyway, I only think about how to make life fun before I die. No, I don't even bother with that recently. I don't care about it. It doesn't matter if it's fun or not, anyway, we all live in the same time, and we will leave this world in the end. Seimei, don't you understand this point better than I do..." The afterglow shining on the wall has gradually faded to fiery red. "Master Daoman, it is very dangerous for someone else to undo the resurgence technique performed by someone. If you are not careful, the woman may die."

"Seimei, mind your own business. Isn't it fun to watch that woman go crazy?" "However, I've been thinking lately that it's also fun to watch falling petals." "Then watch the petals fall." "It would be interesting if the petals fell according to nature's arrangements; but since Lord Daoman has intervened..." "Are you going to stop the petals from falling?" Daoman laughed again. "No, I think it's better to let the petals fall naturally." "Qingming, you seem to be very good at telling jokes." Daoman smiled with yellow teeth, "In this case, you can try it. I want to see how you undo the spells that my fellow Daoman has practiced."

"So, I can do as I please?" "Of course, although we don't teach you anything, we don't interfere with anything." "Please keep this in mind." "Oh." When Daoman replied, the afterglow had disappeared, and the light in the room was gone. "For the sake of time, I'm leaving now..." Qingming nodded slightly, and then urged Boya, "Let's go." "Qingming, is this all right?" "The man himself told me that he would not intervene in this matter, that's enough..." Qingming walked towards the bullock cart excitedly. Starlight had already appeared in the sky that was about to enter the night, and in the approaching twilight, Daoman's light smile sounded. "Interesting. I haven't seen such an interesting thing for a long time, Seimei..."
