Hidemoto Hanakaiin is the most talented onmyoji in the legend of the Hanakain family in Kyoto - he is said to be the most talented onmyoji among humans who is most likely to reach the level of the Great Onmyoji Seimeiko.
He came here to visit Qiao Xi on the day he arrived in Kyoto.
After a conversation, Qiao Xi felt that this person's character was quite interesting. In addition, the sly ghost Nuliang Huaiao whom he met before also had a good impression of this onmyoji as the master of monsters, so Qiao Xi felt that this person's character was quite interesting.
Gradually we became good friends with him.
…
When a resident suddenly appeared in Kyoto's famous "ghost house", Hanakain Hidemoto, as half of the backbone of Kyoto Onmyoji, naturally rushed over to investigate.
This house is said to be a "haunted house", but it is actually not the same as a ghost house in the general sense.
Looking back according to the time limit, this house should have belonged to the Abe family at the beginning - to be more precise, it should be the house owned by the famous Onmyoji Seimei.
This premise originally gave this house a very mysterious color, especially when the house has not allowed others to enter for so many years.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, this house does not actually exist, because the house is surrounded by a very magical barrier - according to the inferences of the Onmyoji family in Kyoto, this barrier undoubtedly came from that
The handwriting of Mr. Qingming.
Such a house is actually like a holy place in the eyes of ordinary Onmyoji. They completely believe that there must be some unknown secrets of Lord Seimei in this house.
Ever since the discovery of this house, countless onmyojis have come to explore it one after another - unfortunately, without exception, no one has been able to break through the barrier and really go inside the house, not even the self-proclaimed Abe Seimei
The same goes for the Mikadoin family of later generations.
The more no one could get in, the more curious people became. Even later, it was said that Duke Qingming was actually not dead and lived in this house. In order not to let others disturb him, he set up a trap outside.
Such a powerful barrier.
By the way, it is also said that the soul of Lord Seimei is sealed in the house. Whoever can break this barrier will be able to obtain the inheritance of Lord Seimei.
I have to say that although there are some differences between the two rumors here, the common point is that they are particularly attractive to ordinary Onmyoji.
One can imagine how the entire capital was in an uproar when an onmyoji who was trying to break the barrier on a daily basis suddenly discovered that there seemed to be traces of human figures moving around in the house.
All the Onmyoji world held a group meeting specifically for this purpose to discuss issues about this house. In the end, Hidemoto Hanakaiin and a certain elder of the Gomonin family, one with their skills and the other with their identities, crushed everyone.
Become a candidate for a visit.
But unfortunately, when they came over, the people in the house had disappeared. After some attempts to no avail, they had no choice but to give up.
——This is when Qiao Xi just woke up from a deep sleep and went to Kyoto to meet the slippery ghost.
After the Slippery Ghost left, he himself ran out to look for Da Jiangshan, and naturally sealed the house again.
However, a year later, a figure appeared in this house again. Hideyuan Hanakaiin, who had been paying attention to this place, did not even have time to have a meeting with other onmyojis. That night, he sneaked in alone.
here.
At that time, Qiao Xi and Ibaraki had just arrived in Kyoto. Ibaraki went to a famous Kabukicho to collect money, while Qiao Xi was lazily drinking on the corridor under the moonlight.
The design of the courtyard of this house is very similar to the courtyard behind Qiao Xi Shrine. There is also a small pond and a cherry blossom tree in the courtyard.
It's a pity that there is no cherry blossom demon among the cherry blossom trees here who can control the cherry blossoms to bloom all year round, and now is not the normal season when cherry blossoms should be in full bloom, so Qiao Xi looked at the green leaves on the cherry blossom trees in the yard, and her mood suddenly changed.
Quite disappointed.
Just when he was boredly thinking about whether to go to Ibaraki, the Onmyoji from Hanakaiin's family came to visit.
Hanakain Xiuyuan came to the door in a very formal manner and handed over the greeting card. Although Qiao Xi was not very interested in Onmyoji except Seimei, who could make him boring?
What's more, this is not the first time he has heard the name Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan.
As early as when Qiao Xi met Nuliang Huaolao, she had heard about this unique onmyoji from him. Now seeing this onmyoji come to his door on his own initiative, Qiao Xi let him go without saying a word.
Come in.
Speaking of Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan's first impression of Qiao Xi, it was definitely very good.
Just when he was still thinking about what kind of person the mysterious owner of this house was - or a monster, he was led by the shikigami to the courtyard and saw the young man sitting in the corridor for the first time.
He was shocked at the first glance.
The seemingly teenage boy was leaning lazily against a pillar, with one leg bent and his feet on the floor. The other leg was lying flat in a natural and casual manner. He held an exquisite glass wine glass in his left hand.
There was a very beautiful pink flower wine in it, and his arms were gently resting on his bent knees.
The young man was wearing a blue bathrobe. His appearance was as delicate as the one in the painting. His long light golden hair was tied behind his back, with part of it hanging to the ground. The bright and gentle moonlight poured on him, blessing the young man.
Added a unique color.
He just sat there, falling into the eyes of Hidemoto Hanakain, as if the noble prince from the Heian Kyo period suddenly stepped through the cracks in time and traveled over. He could even vaguely see the light colors floating in the sky.
Cherry blossoms.
Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan stood a few steps away from the boy, and couldn't help but pause there, until the boy tilted his head, his clear and bright eyes focused on him, and then said in a slightly doubtful voice: "Huakaiyuan"
Yuan Xiuyuan?" He suddenly came back to his senses.
Hanakain Hidemoto can be called the most elegant Onmyoji of Seimei, and it is not for nothing. After he recovered, he quickly adjusted his emotions to the most perfect and appropriate posture.
He walked over very naturally and sat opposite Qiao Xi. At this moment, he didn't ask any of the questions he was curious about before coming. He just smiled and looked sideways at the young man, half-closed his eyes and sniffed gently, then looked surprised.
He said: "Yeah, yeah, it's really sweet and sweet. Can you tell me what kind of wine this is? I've never seen it before."
Qiao Xi smiled, and suddenly remembered the words Ibaraki had sworn before arriving in Kyoto. He suppressed his laughter, took out a matching glass cup from the void, poured some cherry blossom wine into it, and handed it to the young onmyoji next to him.
