It was already three or four in the morning when Su Ziyu came back.
He was stunned when he just entered the residence. There was still candlelight in the hall. Qingji was measuring a piece of cloth with a needle and thread. As if she heard footsteps outside the door, she happily put down what she was holding, stood up and greeted him, "Husband."
"You're back."
"Yeah." Su Ziyu nodded slightly, put on the clogs that Qing Ji handed over, and asked casually, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Qingji raised her fair wrist and gently lifted her long hair. Her eyes were always fixed on Su Ziyu. She whispered, "I couldn't sleep, so I thought of making some suitable clothes for my sisters."
"Are you hungry, my husband?"
"The food is still hot in the kitchen. I'll bring it to you."
Su Ziyu looked at Qing Ji in front of him with a complicated expression, and nodded after a moment: "Okay."
He watched Qingji's back leave, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a gentle and virtuous wife. If only she wasn't a monster."
The shadow left on Su Ziyu by the real dream is too big.
As a result, he is now a little afraid of Qingji.
soon.
Qing Ji came back with some food. She moved slightly and knelt down beside Su Ziyu. Her white fingers twirled the needle and thread and said, "Husband, is the matter in the underworld not over yet?"
"Yes." Su Ziyu nodded and said, "Now that the gates of hell are wide open, we must reorganize yin and yang and separate the two lives."
Qing Ji couldn't help but look up at Su Ziyu's profile when she heard this. She looked at him for a while with her eyes slightly bright. After noticing that Su Ziyu had noticed something, she lowered her head a little shyly and whispered, "My husband is a man who wants to do great things. I am stupid and can't help much."
"How could that be? You have already helped me a lot." Su Ziyu turned his head and looked at Qing Ji, with a faint smile on his face.
"Really? Then if you need me in the future, just tell me." Qingji looked very happy. She first stretched out her hand to measure her waist, then picked up the needle and thread and spread the cloth on her legs, whispering, "My sisters are very noisy today! They are not smart enough, just like a group of children."
"Today when I was cooking, I asked Sanji to help me light the fire, but she just blew fire directly into the stove."
“I almost burned down the kitchen.”
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly."
At this point, Qingji raised her head and looked at Su Ziyu in front of her. The beautiful face made Su Ziyu look dazed for a moment, and then she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said: "In the afternoon, Yiji came over with a book and asked me to teach her how to read."
"Say it's my husband's order."
Su Ziyu quickly lowered his head to hide his gaze, coughed slightly and said, "Yeah. I said that."
Qing Ji stood up and poured a cup of tea for Su Ziyu, and said softly, "Husband, eat slowly."
"They are completely ignorant now, and they can't transform, let alone common sense. My husband allows me to bring them with him, and doesn't mind their trouble. I am very grateful."
Is this really the Qingji in the dream?
Did everything at the end of the dream change her so much?
Su Ziyu looked at her beautiful profile and said in a much gentler voice, "It's okay. They still have a lot to learn, so it's more convenient to have them around."
"Teach them some common sense first."
"Then teach them to read and transform, so they won't suffer losses in the future."
Qingji's six sisters are still human with snake tails, and they don't have the ability to transform into humans like Qingji. They are just newly born monsters and have a lot to learn. At present, they can still stay in Kyoto, but when the things here are solved, those Yin Yang masters may not be able to accommodate them, and they will definitely have to move to another place to live in the future.
"Yeah." Qingji looked at Su Ziyu and smiled, saying softly, "My husband is so nice."
What a woman who is easily satisfied.
Su Ziyu chatted with Qingji for a while, then went back to his room to rest. After Qingji helped him wash up, she returned to her sisters' residence. Perhaps Su Ziyu himself did not realize that when he came back and saw Qingji's slightly relieved and happy face, his heart could not help but surge.
No words were spoken that night.
When Su Ziyu opened his eyes the next day, he could not help but be met with a pair of curious green eyes. The long and narrow green snake tail swayed slightly in the room, being careful not to make any annoying noises.
"It's Yiji." Su Ziyu stood up and sat up.
He looked at Yiji who was not far away, waved and said, "Why did you come to see me so early?"
Among the six sisters, Yiji's intelligence grew the fastest.
What gives Qingji the most headache is Liuji. Until now, she can only say one sentence: Eat, it’s delicious, it’s really delicious. No one knows when she will be able to open her spiritual intelligence.
"Books... characters..." Yiji bowed slightly towards Su Ziyu, and her posture was very realistic, imitating Qingji's. She raised a book with an expectant expression and handed it to Su Ziyu, saying timidly, "Teach... me..."
Want to learn to read?
Su Ziyu reached out to take the book, glanced at it, put it aside and said, "This is too difficult for you. Come with me, I will teach you something simple first."
After saying that, he stood up and walked into the courtyard, breaking off a branch.
The common writing used in Fusang during this period was Chinese characters. Su Ziyu was going to teach him from the simplest point. It was rare that Yi Ji was so eager to learn. It was said that the other five sisters had no interest in learning. Yesterday, the five girls climbed up a tree to catch birds. The narrow green snake tail was wrapped around the tree, which scared the two soldiers passing by. They saw a beautiful woman climbing on the top of the tree and were about to kindly remind her to pay attention to safety and not fall down. As a result, a five or six meter long green snake tail was slightly raised in the next second.
When Qingji talked about this yesterday, she looked helpless.
"Husband."
"Have something to eat." Su Ziyu had just taught a few words when Qingji came over with a wooden box. Behind her followed the other three snake princesses, who were looking at Yiji with curiosity as she was gesturing on the ground with a branch.
These are the second, third and fifth princesses. The other two should be in the kitchen.
Qingji's six sisters all look almost identical, and outsiders cannot tell them apart at first glance. However, Su Ziyu can easily tell them apart because he does not distinguish them based on their appearance, but rather on their spirituality.
"Well. Let's eat first." Su Ziyu clapped his hands and stood up.
At this time, another snake queen swam out from the kitchen. Her cheeks were bulging and she was holding a large plate of white dumplings in her hands. She was eating them happily. After noticing the sight of the suzi fish, she quietly turned around and slipped into the room, as if she was afraid that the suzi fish would snatch her food.
It is not easy for Qingji to teach these six sisters how to transform.
Su Ziyu stayed at his residence until noon, and then he set off for Ampei Seimei's residence. Ampei Seimei's face was getting older day by day, and now he looked like an old man in his sixties. When Su Ziyu came, he was admiring flowers in the courtyard. Next to him was the shrine maiden called Kagura, who was kneeling with a gentle smile on her face. She nodded slightly to Su Ziyu and stood up to make tea. This person should also be a person of the same period as Ampei Seimei, but because of her high level of cultivation, her face has not aged. Judging from her attitude towards Ampei Seimei, she should have some feelings for him, but I don't know why Ampei Seimei would marry a mortal woman.
"Lord Su is here. Please take a seat." Ampere Qingming looked much more natural than yesterday. Perhaps he had figured it out in his mind.
Su Ziyu had just sat down when his expression changed slightly. He murmured, "You..."
"It's okay." Ampere Qingming's breath became weaker. At this rate, he probably wouldn't live to be over eighty.
Facing Su Ziyu's surprised look, Ampere Qingming shook his head slightly, then waved to a distance. Then two young men who looked about the same age as Su Ziyu came over carefully. He stood up with the help of the witch next to him and said with a serious expression: "Jichang, Jiping."
"Come here."
"Come and meet Master Su!"
These two young men are the sons of Ampere Seimei. Their magical powers are much stronger than when Su Ziyu first met them. Considering Ampere Seimei's weakness today, Su Ziyu already has some guesses in his mind.
"Greetings, Master Su!"
"Greetings, Master Su!"
Ampei Yoshichang and Ampei Yoshihei came to Su Ziyu, and then they knelt down and performed a great ceremony. At that time, Fuso learned etiquette from the Han and Tang dynasties. Although kneeling was a daily habit, the kneeling ceremony was extremely serious, unlike the later Qing Dynasty, which was so casual. Ampei Seimei's two sons performed the kneeling and kowtow ceremony, which was only performed by fathers, teachers and kings in the current era.
Su Ziyu originally wanted to dodge, but when he thought of how Ampere Haruaki had exhausted all his skills to deal with the Yamata-no-Orochi that day, Su Ziyu stayed where he was and accepted the kowtow of the two men with a serious expression.
"My two sons are not very capable." Seeing Su Ziyu sitting there and accepting this gift, Ampere Qingming couldn't help but smile and said, "Qingming knows that the Dharma cannot be passed on lightly, but I don't have much time left."
"I don't dare to ask Lord Su to accept these two as his disciples. I just hope that Lord Su can help me if I'm in trouble in the future."
Ampei Haruaki now leads the Onmyoji Ryo in Fuso.
If nothing unexpected happens, his two sons will take over the current position, but in terms of strength, these two people are far inferior to Ampere Qingming, and their talents are completely not on the same level. Ampere Qingming hopes that Su Ziyu can help them if they encounter difficulties in the future.
"Okay." Su Ziyu nodded slightly, then he thought about it and reached out to take out two strange beads, and gently raised his hand to float them in front of them.
The principle of mountain boy.
The principle of the new wife.
Su Ziyu has never known how to use these things, but the Yin-Yang masters in this world can use them for cultivation. Since he has received such gifts from these two elders, he naturally has to show some appreciation.
"Take it." Ampere Qingming nodded slightly, and his two sons accepted it carefully.
Although Su Ziyu was not their master at this time, it was okay for them to call him uncle in terms of seniority. He was repaying the favor of Ampei Seimei and leaving some incense and affection in this world. After all, Qingji would have to live here in the future. After this, the relationship between Su Ziyu and Ampei Seimei suddenly became much closer. It might be that a dying man speaks kindly. Ampei Seimei lost some arrogance and treated people with a feeling of spring breeze in the forest.
His life span is running out.
Looking at Ampere Seimei's current appearance, Su Ziyu couldn't help but think of how he felt when facing death several times. Just by the fact that he could face death so calmly and arrange his funeral so calmly, Su Ziyu had to admit that Ampere Seimei was indeed a remarkable figure of this era.
It was already evening when we left Ampere Haruaki's residence.
Su Ziyu went back to see Qingji and told her that he might not come back tonight. Although the current Qingji has changed a lot from the Qingji in the dream world, Su Ziyu was still a little worried that she would get angry if she couldn't see him.
The night deepens.
Su Ziyu arrived near Rashomon at midnight. As soon as he approached here, Ampe Jiping, who was in charge of guarding tonight, bowed and said, "Master Su."
"It's Jiping." Su Ziyu nodded slightly and said, "The underworld is not stable yet, I want to go to the underworld."
"A ghost may escape tonight."
"You better be careful!"
Ampere Jiping said respectfully, "Jiping knows. Lord Su, please be careful too."
There are more than twenty Onmyoji nearby, and Kyoto is not very safe now. Ordinary people cannot come back until the hidden dangers are completely eliminated.
Ding ding dong.
Su Ziyu had just passed through Rashomon when he heard a crisp bell sound. This sound made him tremble, and then he returned to normal. Not far away, he could see a carriage with ghost fire burning. Qing Xingdeng was actually the driver herself today. She was holding a golden bell in her hand and was slowly driving along Suzaku Avenue. Along with the crisp bell sound, translucent ghosts were emerging from the ruins, and then turned into a group of ghost fires gathered on the carriage. In a blink of an eye, the accumulated ghost fire was like a small mountain.
"Lord Su!" Qing Xingdeng still had a sweet smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet him when he saw him.
snort.
Su Ziyu glanced at her, then turned and walked towards the palace.
Are you still angry?
Qing Xingdeng looked at Su Ziyu's back in annoyance, stretched out his hand and twirled his long hair a few times, holding his chin with one hand and muttered, "I should have told him clearly earlier."
The palace is within sight.
Meow!
Su Ziyu had just walked to the gate of the imperial city when a cat's cry came from the roof not far away. Then the figure of the nine-life cat fell from the sky. She first looked Su Ziyu up and down for a while, as if to make sure whether his body was intact, and then smiled and said, "Master Su!"
"Lord Yan Mo asked me to go with you today!"
"When are we going to Huangquan?"
"Do you think we are going to hell together as the book says?"
Pooh!
Crow's mouth!
Is nine lives so great? You just talk nonsense!
Su Ziyu rolled his eyes at her, reached out and grabbed her neck, then rubbed her cat ears again and again before letting her go.
