Chapter 14

Seimei was very pleased with the change of atmosphere between Laikou and Onikiri. The old man smiled and watched from a distance as the little boy insisted on snatching the bamboo broom in the hand of the little paper figurine, and insisted on doing work himself, cleaning the yard and doing what he could for the savior. thing.Of course the little paper figurine was unwilling, but Onikiri, who had regained his demonic appearance, immediately drew his sword, stood fiercely in front of the little paper figurine, pointed the tip of the knife at its round, flat face, and addressed it in a frosty tone. It whispered eeriely: "How can you disobey the order of my lord?"

Qingming felt that if he drew the facial features on the face of the little paper figurine, the little shikigami would cry "wow" on the spot, and he had to stop until his own tears washed away the painted facial features.

"Now that we have reconciled, it's time." The Great Onmyoji walked out of the darkness in a whisper, and called out to the little boy who refused Onikiri's help, and tried to sweep the fallen leaves with one hand, "Laikou, come I'm here for a while, I have something important to discuss with you. Guiqie, wait outside, don't be impatient."

The little boy immediately stopped what he was doing, entrusted the bamboo broom to Onikiri, squeezed the empty sleeve on his right arm, and ran towards him as fast as possible. "Grandpa Qingming." He let the old man stroke the top of his head, and followed the old man into the room meekly.

The sliding door moved by itself, and closed with a "click" in front of Onikiri.

About the time after Xiaobai had eaten three apples, the sliding door opened again in front of Onikiri who were circling around the courtyard, and Seimei's voice sounded from inside the door: "Onikiri, come in."

The big demon flew into the room, but saw his little master lying on his back on the carpeted floor, with his eyes closed, motionless, as if he had entered a deep sleep.

"What did you do to Raiko?!" Onikiri quickly knelt down next to the little master, nervously moved closer to his heart, held his breath to listen to his heartbeat, and then heaved a sigh of relief.But the big demon looked up at the Onmyoji with intense uneasiness in his eyes, and he asked, "Qingming, what exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing that he is clearly a majestic big monster, facing Laiguang, worrying about gains and losses like such a child in the world, Qingming sighed helplessly, and said gently: "Don't worry, if I try to be unfavorable to Laiguang, I will wait until today ? I just think the time has come, and you should do it yourself."

Onikiri was just about to ask "what?" Seimei's actions attracted his attention. The old man opened the long and short wooden boxes next to him one by one, revealing a pair of eyes with flaming pupils. A child's arm.

"The demons who tore apart Laikou's body have poisonous claws, and his original eyeballs and arms can no longer be attached to his body. For this reason, I have been preparing new eyes and arms for Laikou these days, and the work was completed yesterday. Qingming first held up the small wooden box with both hands, and signaled the big demon to step forward to take a closer look, "Come on, Onikiri, take a serious look, do you find anything special about this eyeball?"

Onikiri's eyesight was excellent, but he still leaned close to the old man's hand after walking on his knees, and stared at the eyeball tremblingly - the gorgeous red iris, painted with patterns of three flowers and five leaves, very much like a big demon still in the source The left eye I had when I was at home, but looking carefully, the flower on the pupil is not gentian, but three knives in the shape of a flower: mustache, friend, and son of the lion.

The crescent moon on the hilt of Higakiri seemed to cast a stream of moonlight in Raikou's pupils that were about to belong to him.

"This, this is, this is my demon emblem... I, my coat of arms..." Guiche rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and murmured in a trembling voice: "This...is this true? , is it really ok, Seimei? Instead of Genjia's gentian pattern, use mine..."

"Of course, as you can see." Great Onmyoji nodded with a smile, and said calmly: "This is what Minamoto Raimiko left here. Before he left, he told me that your left eye had been poisoned by the blood of the ghost king. The miasma of the ghost hand is eroding, and I am afraid that it has left the root of the disease, if your old injury recurs one day after he leaves, I will install this new eyeball with the power of purification for you."

"When I first saw this eyeball, I was also surprised by the pattern on the iris. I asked Minamoto, 'Are you making a mistake? This is not Genji's gentian pattern'. You know Minamoto answer me?"

"He said, 'Onikiri is no longer Minamoto's sword, he belongs to himself.'"

Onmyoji deliberately didn't look at Onikiri's expression, but lowered his eyes to stare at the eyeball made of spiritual power, and continued with a smile: "Don't rush to impress, Minamoto Raimitsu...you're such a jerk... .Purification is only one of the effects of this eyeball, and its biggest function is as you know it, as a container for sealing memories."

Onikiri held back his tears all at once, and he instantly understood the old master's intentions, "He, he! He wouldn't—"

Qingming simply nodded, and shrugged his shoulders in a very unpretentious manner, "The thing that guy is most worried about is that you will commit the stupid thing of killing yourself with a broken knife. He asked me to see that the time is right, and seal all your memories related to him here. An eyeball, he wants you to forget about him, and never have to be driven by the Yuan family again, he wants you to live a relaxed life in Dajiangshan and be a free and happy little monster."

Seimei said this, paused, and said with Onikiri: "That bastard!"

Onmyoji and Da Yao looked at each other, and they smiled wryly again. Qingming said, "Fortunately, I didn't do what he wanted."

Onikiri said, "Fortunately, you didn't do what he wanted, thank you, Seimei."

The corners of the old man's lips curled up, and the handsome and unrestrained eyes of the past still remained, "You're welcome. You know, I'm the great onmyoji Abe Seimei! That guy has no chance to get close to you himself, and he is reluctant to seal your memory. Just let me swim in this muddy water? Hehe, bah! I'm too lazy to do some sneaky things for that old thing."

But when Seimei looked at Minamoto Raimitsu who had shrunk a lot, his eyes changed from humorous teasing to love and pity, "Minen Raimitsu is a bastard, but Raimitsu... he is really a good boy. Even if Lost his hands and eyes, even if he is not tortured by the demon blood in his body all the time, he still wants to repay my favor and do something for me. Even if he grabs the broom, needle and thread, bowls and chopsticks, bamboo sticks from his hand every time, he Still unwilling to obediently go back to the house to sleep, he is really... in order to get a place to stay, to be loved by the world, he is willing to give everything."

Seimei quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, handed the small wooden box to Onikiri, and picked up the other long wooden box, "Come on, Onikiri, put the eyes and hands on Raikori. If you promise, I will definitely Is it gentle? My Sleeping Talisman can't resist too much pain, and Raikou can't take any more damage."

The big demon nodded solemnly, and said in his most solemn tone: "Yes, I will follow the orders of Lord Abe."

Onikiri held on to that eyeball, Seimei lightly peeled off Raikou's eyelids, revealing the hideous flesh hole even though the bleeding had stopped.

The process of filling the little boy's eyeballs is like giving a soul to a sleeping doll, and it is like hot molten iron forming in a mold.Onikiri held his breath the whole time, he seemed to see the blazing breath of life flowing in the brilliance, condensing into a new blade, and the flower on the blade bloomed in Raikou's iris, and Hikekiri's moon Curved, looming under Raikou's thick eyelashes.

"The next thing is the hand. Onikiri, I will hold Raikou's right arm, put your fingers closer, follow my instructions, release the demon power gently, and slowly sew the two sections together."

"Yes, Mr. Abe."

The stitching process undoubtedly made Onikiri see a miracle. He was surprised and delighted to see that the red thread of his demon power began to grow and twine from the section of Laimitsu's arm, and outlined the outline on Raimitsu's snow-white and thin arm. His scarlet demon pattern soaked into the skin as the stitches were finished, branding him—the demon of Ojiangshan, Onikiri—on the little boy's arm with an eternal imprint.

"Huh... you're done, everything is going well, just wait for Laiguang to wake up." Qingming wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.He was already smiling, but when he turned his head to look at Onikiri, he laughed even more happily: "Onikiri? What's the matter, why are you still in a daze?" The old man waved his hands in front of the staring big demon, Shaking again and again, seeing that he was still as stupid as a log, he couldn't help but jokingly said: "Are you afraid that Lai Guang will wake up and see yourself being poked by your little dog, throwing a tantrum and trying to drive you away? Haha, don't Luan worried, I have informed Laiguang in advance, and he has no objection to this, he just said, "As a person who holds a sword, he should have a sword mark on his body. I want to be one with my sword, and my sword and I will become one." The strongest, stronger than Genji's samurai' - that child is really courageous, not at all inferior to Minamoto Raimitsu back then, even though his background made him suffer the pain that Minamoto Raimitsu never experienced, his soul Still as firm and unyielding. The so-called 'puwei is as tough as silk' refers to Lai Guang's child."

After hearing Qingming's emotion, the big demon finally had emotional fluctuations in his silly eyes, but the big onmyoji didn't expect him to open his mouth at all: "My treasure, Raikou, my treasure...I own him Now, I finally, I finally... Am I really not dreaming?"

I saw him get up suddenly, and fell to the ground with a "boom", covering his face tightly with both hands, rolling on the ground, "He is mine now, Qingming! Lai Guang is a ghost, God Ah!" He rolled around like a puppy in great joy, kicking his legs wildly, he hammered the ground with his fist, and then waved it into the air, his ecstatic cheer was like a lark soaring into the sky, as if he wanted to Let the gods and ghosts know his pride and showing off: "Laikou is my treasure, the treasure of Onikiri! It's not Genji's, it's Onikiri's! He's mine, it's mine! I'm not dreaming , it's all true—I'm so happy! I'm so happy!"

His childish, playful ecstasy made Qingming couldn't help covering his lips and smiling, and scolded him while laughing: "You, you, it's outrageous, you are a puppy when you are happy, how can you call it a big dog?" Monster'? Thanks to my sleeping talisman, it's very effective, otherwise Lai Guang would be shocked by your crazy and giggling appearance if you woke him up."

When Seimei said that, Onikiri immediately sat up straight, Da Yao rubbed his cheeks violently with his hands, trying to restore his crazy expression of joy to a normal smile - unfortunately, things didn't work out, when he saw the girl who was still lying on the ground and sleeping peacefully Raikou, as soon as he saw his right arm with the demon pattern and the left eye with the flower on the blade hidden under it, he started to giggle "hehe" again, turned over and crawled towards Raikou, raised his hand to caress the tender cheek of the little boy, full of heart It's all swelling triumphantly:

It is said that a person can monopolize the sword, but has anyone ever seen a sword monopolize its owner?It is said that people can recast a broken knife. Has anyone ever seen a knife reshape its owner?However, he did it!He did it all!He is worthy of being the strongest blade of all time—Onikiri!

He smiled lightly, gently held Laiguang's small right hand, and put his cheek close to his heart. He heard the little boy's heartbeat again, and let the sounds converge like a stream, leading him to the mountain. The distance, the end of the sea, leads to Minamoto Raimiko's look back at him in the turbulent waves at the highest point of Dajiang Mountain.

That glance spanned mountains and seas, killing and hatred, pierced the struggle and nostalgia deep in his soul, and he longed to be looked back again.

He lay down beside Raikou, and whispered to his sleeping little master: "The so-called 'Genji Jugetsu', how can it compare to the 'Onikiri's Jujube'...let me walk into your eyes again, Master. "

He longed to open his eyes to see his future, so he took Raikou's hand, closed his eyes beside the little boy, and let Seimei go away alone again.

He longs to wake up with his little master.
