Looking up at his bruised and swollen face in the mirror, he realized that his lifespan had returned to the number he had seen before, which was truly a cause for celebration.
When he returned to Heian-kyo, he took the initiative to find his former Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang) and took on the position of vice president there.
A man who used to call him "Master" saw him and said happily, "Today I chose the 300-point challenge for the guild breakthrough, but I saw that there were so few people. Luckily, it wasn't the three of us who had to clear it!"
He said, "And me too, you guys can attack from above."
The person who called him master: "Alright!"
From that day on, his original intention for entering Heian-kyo changed. He no longer used the precious resources he obtained to make money, but instead tried to find ways to supplement his family's income.
"Witchcraft Master, what do you think of the new SR shikigami that recently arrived in Heian-kyo? Want me to bring one back for you?"
He opened the Heian-kyo Morning Post and saw the new news.
In the mulberry grove bathed in warm sunlight, small insects were devouring mulberry leaves. A woman, half insect and half butterfly, leaned against a mulberry tree, patiently encouraging and teaching them.
The moonlight reflected off the insect eggs, creating a crystalline glow. Suddenly, the slumbering chrysanthemum insect awoke, its greedy eyes and wicked smile gleaming as it slowly strode towards the snow-white eggs.
“An insect, huh? That’s the kind of shikigami you like,” he said.
"Hey hey hey... bring her back, her chubby belly is so pretty!" The sorcerer chuckled a few times in the moonlight, a sound that sent chills down one's spine in the desolate Yin-Yang Bureau.
"Grandpa Sorcerer, after Father brought her back, can I flatten her and make her into a pillow?" asked the little Ibaraki-doji who was eating Daruma dolls in his arms.
That stomach seems to be quite comfortable.
The sorcerer: "..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
He laughed.
From then on, he changed his name to "Tianma Xingke" and decided that it was quite good to farm and support his family on the mountain.
Until one day—
Ring ring...
The creative alarm clock I bought went off.
[Onmyoji, the eggs placed under the barrier are ready to be stewed.]
He stood up and stepped into the barrier.
Take out the Bodhidharma statues and deliver them one by one to the sorcerer.
The sorcerer sat in the courtyard, examining the experience points and quality of the Bodhidharma statues while muttering to himself:
"A matchmaking agency recently opened in Heian-kyo. When would you like to go check it out? I've already made an appointment for you."
He was dumbfounded.
"What?"
"Kid, so you don't like the female shikigami of Heian-kyo," the sorcerer said thoughtfully.
"So you need to go to the marriage tree and find a beautiful shrine maiden, either Kagura or Yaobikuni. You'll definitely like them."
The sorcerer casually took a pink divination stick from his pocket and placed it in his hand.
"What's the meaning?"
"Take the Onikiri shards and Rikuo to the agency; many Onmyoji will come up to you and strike up a conversation," the sorcerer said knowingly.
Onikiri is a popular SSR shikigami in Heian-kyo recently. With its extremely destructive power and devastating output capabilities, it is the fastest-paced shikigami in Heian-kyo and also the shikigami with the strongest burst damage.
"Is it really that brutal?"
Ibaraki-dōji raised his head.
He felt like he was only encountering Onikiri in the arena lately, and his fellow players from other guilds seemed to be being neglected. Sigh...
“We have so many Onikiri.” The sorcerer, like a nouveau riche, pulled out countless Onikiri fragments from a pocket.
"You've saved up so much, and you still haven't synthesized it?" he asked, frustrated.
"You can't combine them. You can do without Onikiri, but you can't be without him. Take these fragments with you and go see the new movie 'The Tale of the High Heaven' with the Kagura you found. Trust me, the other Onmyoji will fall in love with you."
The sorcerer spoke at length with great seriousness, then pushed him out of the Onmyoji Bureau, along with a few shikigami to hold the fort.
"Father, where are we going?"
Standing in front of the Yin-Yang Bureau, the shikigami raised this question.
He thought for a moment, "The same as usual."
"What the sorcerer grandfather said..."
"I won't listen."
This old guy becomes arrogant and domineering when he's drunk, but he's such a coward in front of SSR characters. It's a shame everyone respects him.
Actually, every time he acts out, it's because he's drunk and acting crazy.
And so, on an ordinary day, he left Mount Fuxi with his shikigami to do his daily tasks, just like every other day in the past few months.
In the afternoon, as he returned to Fuxi Mountain laden with his loot, he encountered the second person in his life who would have a special impact on him.
Walking along the mountain path, he saw a group of people coming down the path, led by an Onmyoji he had never seen before.
"Hello,……"
He greeted the Onmyoji.
Just as he was greeting him, he noticed the shikigami behind the onmyoji.
"Is that your Jiao Tu behind her? She looks like she's about to die."
"ah?"
He heard a gasp from the person in front of him.
This is a newbie.
Name... Qiu Shui Yi Ren?
When he first saw the name, he felt that the four characters were very poetic. He never expected that a poetic Onmyoji would move here. Do Onmyoji living on Fuxi Mountain have to be all neat and tidy?
Ghostly Emptiness
Snow at Dusk on a Thousand Mountains
Tianma Traveler
Autumn Water Beauty
They are all four-character phrases, and they rhyme so well.
Thinking this, the beautiful woman in front of him hurriedly went to ask his rain maiden to make it rain. Unexpectedly, the rain maiden seemed unreliable, which inspired his helpful spirit.
“I’ll help you,” he said.
When he uttered those words, the Onmyoji in front of him showed an expression of seeing a savior, and the numbers above his head changed.
It shrank many times in an instant!
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Does he possess anything that could damage mental energy or the brain's central nervous system?
He remained vigilant.
Having already spoken, he had to take the Onmyoji in front of him to his monastery; helping him once should be fine.
Thinking this, he took the Onmyoji to his hut, and to his surprise, the sorcerer actually knew them.
What a coincidence...
That's what he was thinking.
The next day, on his way back to his guild after completing the task, he encountered the Onmyoji again.
"A beautiful woman by the autumn waters."
He looked completely bewildered.
He needs someone to guide him.
...
A week later, Qiu Shui Yi Ren had gotten used to bothering him here often, and since she believed he was alright, she continued to help him.
Later, when it came time to fight the Super Boss, he received his plea for help and, without much thought, took his shikigami to help him.
Unfortunately, his strength is not comparable to what it used to be. Although he has a lot of health and cannot be easily killed, his level is too low and his output is not enough.
"Perhaps it's time to synthesize that Onikiri."
That's what he thought.
Just when they felt helpless, the head of the first Onmyoji guild in Heian-kyo passed by and helped them.
He knew Qianshan Muxue; he had known her for a long time. She was a very intelligent person who liked to think things through.
