"No!" Cranjin Moss tightened his hand and hugged the Suzaku in his arms even tighter.

"No one can eat it, I don't allow it. To him, this Suzaku is different from other creatures that can be "food".

"Hahahaha......" the old man laughed.

"It's been so long to live, and it's the first time I've met you with such an interesting manganese. He jumped down from the treetops, and the old man beckoned to him from under the tree, "Come, let's go." ”

The mangae looked at him and suddenly said, "I've seen you." ”

He remembered one time when he saw many yokai gathered together, it was this old man, and the yokai surrounded him in awe.

Sitting in the moonlight, a tadpole-like book in his hand, and another on his lap with square words printed in the finest ink.

Human beings can express a variety of thoughts and emotions through various variations of words and language. He didn't know why humans were so fickle, but the process of learning words made him happy.

"What is 'human'?"

"Look at me, I'm a human!"

"Human ......"

He shook his head as he looked at the drunken old man lying on a large bluestone by the river, and then at the naked girl in the pictorial.

Then he began to read the ancient book of spells in earnest. When he turned to the last page of the book, the old man finally stopped his thunderous snoring, rubbed his eyes, approached him and said, "Get up, let's start practicing the shape change today." ”

"First of all, become human. ”

"Human?"

"I! become me first!"

Learning the course of becoming human is harder than you think. But he soon learns to become an "old man", a "woman", or anyone else in the album, but without a reference to the album, he can't conjure up a person out of thin air, even if it takes him a whole day.

"Hey, you idiot, are you a man or a woman?

"Hand ...... Is this a human hand!"

"Do human ears grow upwards?"

"Are you a human or a dog! A human has such a long tongue?"

"Idiot!"

"Stupid!"

The old man panted, sat heavily on the ground, and glared at him with a breath: "I ...... I'm going to be by you!, though, this time, it's finally getting a good look. ”

The man who had turned into a human man stood in front of the old man. Although his eyes are exaggeratedly large and look more like a rabbit than a person, in general, the old man can accept that he is a person in a so-so way.

"From now on, keep it like this for ten days, you have to learn to be a man. ”

He tugged at the human clothes he felt were bound and sat quietly to read, the old man next to him looking at him with interest. I originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to subdue this vine moss, but I didn't expect him to be so obedient and obedient. Whatever he taught him, he accepted it seriously and eagerly.

"It's time for you to come up with a name. ”

"Thou art the golden moss, the golden ...... Firefly...... In the future, you will eventually have to go out of the mountains and forests to live with humans, so you must have a surname, which is called ...... Well, as a teacher, I'll give you a name called Jin Ying. ”

This method of naming was really sloppy, but fortunately, Manjin Moss would not come up with any objections, he just stretched out his finger, wrote a "gold" on the soft soil, and then wrote a "firefly" in the back, and then looked up at the person who named him.

"Yes, that's the name, from today onwards, you're 'Golden Firefly'. Even if there are thousands of macadamolites, you are no longer like them, you are unique. ”

"Golden Firefly" nodded. He finally has a name.

"Golden Firefly, Firefly, Firefly......"

With the blood of its prey still on its mouth, the little Vermilion Bird chirped and flew down from the trees—it had recently begun to go out to hunt on its own. The strange thing is that this guy, who was originally a picky eater, ate the prey he caught with relish, no matter what it was, and it was not like before, he always didn't eat this and that.

"Name, Golden Firefly, Firefly, Firefly......" It happily flew around the firefly several times, calling the name many, many times.

"What about me? What about my name?"

It finally landed on a large rock in front of the old man, tilted its head, squinted its eyes and asked.

"Here you are a little Vermilion Bird, unique, and there is no name and no confusion. Hahaha, but ......"

The old man couldn't help laughing when he saw that Suzaku was really amused, he turned his tone, pointed at Jin Ying and said, "If you want a name, let Jin Ying help you come up with one." ”

"Suzaku ...... Red...... The golden flame, the same sex as me, is called the golden flame. ”

In terms of sloppy naming, he learned very quickly from his master. The old man sighed. He had hoped that this apprentice would be more creative than himself.

"Jin Yan, Yan ......" Suzaku was slightly dissatisfied, it felt that it should deserve a louder and more amazing name, but it was not outrageous to think about it, "But forget it, since you helped me come up with it, Jin Yan will be Jin Yan, I also have a name! Jin Yan, Yan Er......"

Showing her tolerance and generosity, Jin Yan wiped her mouth on Jin Hotaru and began to sleep for her morning sleep after breakfast.

Jin Hotaru hugged it on her lap, gently stroked the Suzaku to make it sleep peacefully, and suddenly looked up and asked the old man, "What about you?

"My real name is Zou Xiao, and I make bamboo baskets...... Later, because of the flight, he changed his surname to "Zou". ”

Hotaru now finally knows the principle of his name: "So that's ......"

"Hotaru, chase after you!" Flames swooped down from the air, knocking down an enemy, shouting at the fleeing ones. With its voice, the golden firefly rushed out like a bolt of lightning, combining with the shadow of the fleeing enemy, and neatly disposing of the opponent.

"All seven are here, and none of them have slipped through the net. Jin Hotaru stood up and counted.

They were hunting a kind of yokai with red eyes and white tails that looked like little pugs, and it didn't matter if one or two of them appeared together, but seven or eight together would cause a fire. In just a few days, both forests were burned to ashes by them, and countless animals, plants, and even yokai were killed as a result.

"Why are we doing such a thing?" Yan'er chattered dissatisfiedly as she ate angrily, "the nosy thing he's sent around all day. ”

Youkai have always thought that things have nothing to do with them and put them aside. But Zou Xiao has often instructed Jin Ying and Yan'er to do something against their own ways recently.

"You're having a great time, too. The golden firefly patted the grumbling flame.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that Zou Zhen took the initiative to find him and Yan'er. Is the purpose the same as these actions? He was originally ...... Want to kill us?

"Is that so? You were planning to kill us, weren't you?" Jin Ying looked at Zou Xiao solemnly.

Zou Zhen couldn't believe it, he opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "What?

Hearing this, Jin Ying somehow suddenly had an inexplicable emotion, and he himself didn't understand what was going on.

Zou Xiao saw that he was depressed and lowered his head, and his expression was gloomy and he wanted to leave, but suddenly laughed and stopped him: "Why, if you are unhappy, it is really easy for you to learn to be 'unhappy'." ”

"I'm not upset. Jin Ying consciously avoided the strangeness in her heart, it was a strange feeling, and she suddenly felt strange to the old man.

"Oh, I've learned to lie, it's been so fast. ”

"I ......"

"Looks like it's time to have a good talk with you. Zou Xiao patted Jin Ying's shoulder with a clear chest.

Jin Ying sat alone by the river, quietly recalling what Zou Xiao had just said.

"You are no longer the ethereal moss, you have life. ”

"Life ......"

"Yes, although you are a youkai, life is life, whether it is a human, animal, plant or youkai. You and them should not be distinguished from each other. You are in heaven and earth, alive, you can think, you can have emotions, this is your life. ”
