Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 9: Shutun Doji


Two months before Concubine Wen Che was due to give birth, You Ji suddenly suggested to the emperor that Concubine Wen Che should go to her natal home to wait for the birth. At that time, in the Heian Dynasty, because of the superstitious belief that childbirth was a kind of filth, once a woman in the palace became pregnant, she had to go out of the palace and return to her natal family to give birth, and then return to the palace after giving birth.

Concubine Wen Che's parents died young, so there is no so-called natal family. This suggestion of You Ji was immediately adopted by the emperor, and Concubine Wen Che also readily accepted it.

You Ji, she has started to act... The special customs of the Heian era gave her the best chance to get off the phone...

I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but Youji transferred me and the little prime minister to Concubine Wenche to borrow from Concubine Wenche, and asked me to go back to the Fujiwara Left Minister's Mansion with Concubine Wenche to take care of her until she was born.

This decision is exactly what I want, so that I can complete the task more smoothly.

In the residence of Minister Fujiwara Zuo, it passed quietly for a period of time, Seimei sometimes used his mahjong shikigami to send letters.

If there is something weird, I found that the little prime minister's whereabouts seemed to be a little erratic during this period of time. I also asked a few times on the sidelines, but she still refused to answer.

Finally, late at night, I followed her out of the Zuo Chancellor's Mansion and followed her into an abandoned mansion.

Before entering the mansion, I had already used the invisibility technique. Seeing her flash into a room quickly, I followed her. I only heard a man's voice inside, "Come?"

"Well, my lord, I really miss you." There was a hint of coquettishness in the little prime minister's voice.

I was stunned for a moment, did the little prime minister just come to meet his lover privately? Just choosing to date in this kind of place, maybe this lover is weird, right?

I looked in from the lattice window, and faintly saw the little prime minister hugging a man in a thick scarlet hunting suit. The man did not wear a black hat, and his long black hair was pouring down like a waterfall. He lowered his head and kissed the little prime minister's hair. Although I can't see his face clearly, I already feel a strong demonic aura. This man is definitely not human... It's just that he was transformed from a ghost somewhere, and he doesn't seem to be an ordinary ghost.

"Do you know what to do about that?" His voice seemed to come from far away.

"I know, don't worry." The little prime minister said softly, "I will do what you want." She undressed the man while talking.

Ah, they are not putting on a restricted-level drama here, are they? I hesitated for a while, and when I was considering whether to make a move, I suddenly heard the man's voice again, "So impatient? You women all look the same." He paused, "However, this time you seem to have brought Another guest."

After speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked straight at where I was standing. When I saw his face clearly, I couldn't help being startled, no wonder the little prime minister was confused by this ghost, the appearance of this ghost was somewhat similar to Yuan Gaoming's, but it lacked Yuan Gaoming's brilliance and had a bit more ghostly charm The breath is more like a blood cherry blooming faintly in the dark night.

Did he transform into Yuan Gaoming? But I don't have time to think about this now, because he has already discovered my existence.

I obviously used the invisibility technique, but he can detect it?

As soon as I took out the talisman, he had already pushed the little prime minister away, and a red light hit me from between his fingers, the position was so accurate, it was as if he had clearly seen my existence. I dodged his attack, and immediately activated the spell to attack him. He tilted his head slightly and avoided my counterattack, but a few broken hairs fell from his head. Suddenly laughed, "Who is it? He can actually hurt my hair."

As soon as he waved his hand, the broken hair on the ground suddenly turned into a long black arrow and flew towards me. I immediately threw a spell and knocked down the long arrow. He was slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "It's really interesting, but I don't have time to play with you today, and I will definitely see your real face next time." After speaking, he disappeared immediately.

The black long arrow has returned to the hair, but it is fiery red hair. Is it the original shape of the monster? I picked it up, clipped it in the stickers I carried with me, and put it in my arms. I quickly looked at the little prime minister again, only to realize that she had already passed out, and I removed the invisibility technique to wake her up.

"Shaluo, why are you here? Ah? Why am I here?" The little prime minister asked in surprise. She seemed to have no memory of what happened.

"I don't know either, I found you lying here when I got here." I prevaricated.

"What's going on." She rubbed her body and stood up.

"Maybe you are too tired, go home quickly."

Although she was a little puzzled, she didn't ask any more questions.

After that, the ghost never looked for the young prime minister, but I was always a little uneasy, as if something was going to happen.

As the red leaves in the capital gradually became more colorful, the day when Concubine Wen Che gave birth was getting closer. Before this, the emperor specially asked Qingming and the others to come to the left minister's mansion to hold an exorcism ceremony. When I saw Qingming again, I couldn't help but glanced at his shoulder, recalling the embarrassing incident last time, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He smiled lightly, as if he knew what I was thinking.

"I've already washed it." He still said that.

"Well, well, uncle, is he okay?" I quickly changed the subject. Tadyuki-sama entrusted Seimei with all the rituals this time.

He laughed and said, "Very good." He paused, and then said, "Master asked me to ask you, when will you leave the palace?"

"Leaving the palace?" I froze for a moment, "I'm not coming out now?"

"Master, what do you mean, when will you resign from the position of housewife?" He looked at me.

"Oh...after Donggong is born." I suddenly thought that I would have to say goodbye to Seimei after completing the task, and I became inexplicably depressed.

A smile flashed across Qingming's face.

"Qingming, if I leave without saying goodbye one day, will you be angry?" I blurted out.

Qingming was stunned for a moment, her smile gradually disappeared, and she whispered, "Leave without saying goodbye? Where are you going?"

"No, it's nothing, I just said it casually, hee hee, where can I go." I hurriedly covered up, and unintentionally brushed off the sticker inserted between the skirts while waving my hand.

Just as I was about to pick it up, Qingming already bent down and picked it up for me, a few strands of fiery red hair fell from the stickers. No, it's that ghost's hair. Sure enough, Qingming's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Shaluo, where did this come from?"

"I picked it up, the red hair is so special." I smiled and said.

Qingming silently recited a few mantras, and those hairs instantly turned to ashes, he looked at me and said, "That's Shuten-douji's hair, if you see it in the future, you must never pick it up again, you know? ?”

Shuten Doji? Is that the ghost who often transforms into a handsome man to seduce young women? It is said that he is the leader of the ghost clan, who is addicted to alcohol and lives on human flesh. It's also a creepy ghost, so the one who fought me last time was Shuten-douji? Since he is the leader of the ghost clan, he must not be easy to deal with. The last time we fought, he didn't care about fighting and left in a hurry. I don't know what his real strength is.

"Got it!" I agreed with a smile.

The red leaves in the courtyard kept dancing, like butterflies flying, falling on the bluestone floor in the courtyard from time to time, and occasionally a few mischievous ones landed on his pure white hunting clothes, sliding down gently. He looked at me quietly without saying a word.

"If there are so many butterflies flying around, it must be very beautiful." I turned my head slightly, looking at the red leaves and said.

He smiled lightly, walked up behind me suddenly, and stretched out his hands to cover my eyes.

"Hey, Seimei, what are you doing!" I wanted to break his hand.

"Shaluo, close your eyes, just for a while." He said in a low voice, and I faintly heard him seem to be reciting some spells.

After a while, he slowly moved his hand away.

"Ah!" I couldn't help exclaiming, what a scene in front of me! Countless red leaves have turned into colorful butterflies, dancing in the wind. For a moment, I just feel that I am in a dream. Everything is so unreal, but everything is so beautiful.

"It's so beautiful..." I murmured. Just when I was about to turn my head to look at Qingming, I found that he was already standing beside me, and then I felt my hand was surrounded by warmth, and when I looked down, Qingming had already gently held my hand.

My heart skipped a beat. Seimei, does he like me?

I stabilized my mind and looked at Qingming, his face was also slightly flushed, I felt his palms were hot, and he was sweating densely. Is he nervous? I couldn't help being a little stunned in my heart. It turns out that a young man with a calm and breezy mood sometimes gets nervous?

What should I do? It is indeed very romantic to watch Die Wu with Qingming, but I can't. I, like Liu Yun, have no right to like people, after all, I want to go back. Every time, I don't want to have feelings with the characters in history, but why, every time, I just can't avoid it, as if it is a doomed fate. Could it be, as Si Yin said, a punishment?

Now if I forcefully break free from his hand, it may hurt his sensitive heart, but if I keep pulling like this, it will definitely make him misunderstand.

"Wow, look, the butterfly over there is so beautiful!" I had to pull my hand out without a trace. "Qingming is very powerful. If I use this trick to pursue girls in the future, I will definitely hit the target." I laughed, trying to use the most relaxed tone.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Qingming's eyes, and his face immediately lost expression. With a light wave of his right hand, the butterfly turned back into a red leaf in an instant, and fell down gracefully. "I, I just want Shaluo to see it." He suddenly said something, turned around and left.

I stood there blankly, looking at Qingming's back, feeling a little bored in my heart. Qingming, he was still angry, but that was fine.

At least, when parting, it will not be so sad.
