Natsume asked for a sealing scroll from Inari, and carefully used the scroll to store this precious gift in his eyes, and this gift left a deep mark on Natsume's heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing how easy it was to harvest paper lamps before the owl, Natsume's heart itched and wanted to try it. Walking to the city wall, holding the battlements with both hands, he slowly poked his head out, looked at the distance from the ground, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and silently retracted his head. So Natsume's first attempt ended in failure, and Natsume, who retreated to the city wall, couldn't help his heart's desire after a while, and climbed up again, but still didn't hold on for three seconds, and then came back in fear. Inari and Amaterasu on the side looked at their son with a smile, and they took out a crystal ball-like thing to record Natsume's little appearance that they didn't dare to think about. (This is Natsume's proper black history when he grows up!)

Although afraid of this height, Natsume still repeatedly defeated and fell on the battlement of the city wall again, this time Natsume once again couldn't help but look at the bottom of the city wall, and found a small paper lamp with a dim light the size of a thumb. This paper lamp flickered with yellow flames the size of fireflies, probably because the fire in the sky was too dazzling, so that this small mass became a fish that slipped through the net, and quietly avoided the layers of blockade on the battlefield in front of it and floated to the city wall. After seeing this small paper lamp, Natsume's attention was completely attracted by it, and he forgot all the heights he had feared before, leaving only it in his eyes. The location of this paper lamp is an arm's length away from Natsume, and this position seems to be within Natsume's reach. So Natsume didn't think too much about it, his left hand tightly grasped the brick crack of the city wall around him, fixed his body, reached out his right hand, carefully grabbed the small paper lamp, and then slowly retracted his hand, and safely brought it back to the city wall. After Natsume's entire body returned to the castle tower safely, he raised his right hand in front of his eyes and released the fingers holding the paper lamp, and after seeing that the paper lamp was intact, he immediately ran towards Amaterasu and Inari with both hands. "Mom and Dad, watch me find the paper lamp. As if offering treasures, he opened his hands in front of Amaterasu and Inari and displayed the small paper lamp in his palm in front of the two of them. "Ah, our family's Natsume is so powerful, I'm about to poke it myself, let's see what treasure I've got?" Listening to Amaterasu Inari's words, Natsume nodded, his eyes were full of eagerness, and he couldn't wait to stretch out his fingers that looked white and fat because of the good food he had eaten recently, but when he was about to poke it down, Natsume shrank a little again. Remembering the tragedy of the Tang umbrella monk he had witnessed before and the perfect harvest of the eagle who was completely opposite to him, he put down his hand and opened a certain distance between the paper lamp, and made a look of running away anytime and anywhere when there was a change in his feet, and then poked the paper lamp with peace of mind.

The paper lamp burst out with a soft but bright light at the moment when Natsume punctured it, illuminating the dark castle tower, this light attracted the surrounding monsters, Natsume looked at the string of three-color dumplings floating in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he was terrified and treated carefully It turned out to be a string of three-color dumplings, this psychological gap is a bit big! At this time, there was a commotion among the onlookers, followed by a burst of non-verbal exclamations, "This is the three-color dumplings of the Imperial Place!" I heard that this shop only has 100 skewers a year because of the scarcity of raw materials, and I have been trying to try it, but unfortunately I can't grab it!" "This dumpling has been fried in the black market for 3,000 yuan. "Three thousand? The adults of Baisanshan have already bid 10,000 yuan, but no one has sold it, this is a price, there is no market! Why haven't I found it?" "For ...... Why are these three-color dumplings so expensive?" "Don't you know? This three-color dumplings in the Imperial House are made of some special raw materials, which have the function of faintly purifying the bloodline and enhancing demonic power. This attracted everyone's crazy robbery, but only the first time had the best effect, and it was useless to eat more. ”

Inari was a little worried when she heard the words of the demons, so she took the three-color dumplings from Natsume's hand and put them under her nose and sniffed, "Well, there's nothing wrong with eating, Natsume, you can eat it as a snack!" This traditional Japanese confectionery "Wagashi" is a type of ingredient that is very natural, the method is very simple, there are no too many additives, and the taste is mellow and natural. The soft and smooth glutinous rice is a white dumpling made by the fusion of rice seeds in front of the Inari Gate in Takamagahara and rich coconut milk, and the thick coconut flavor explodes in Natsume's mouth when you bite into it. The thick dark pink cherry blossom sauce that flows out immediately after biting into the thin skin of the pink dumplings is made with the right amount of sweetness and sourness and floral fragrance to create the flavor of early spring, and this cherry blossom sauce is made from the petals of cherry blossom trees that have not bloomed for ten years and bloom in their eleventh year. The green dumplings are made from matcha from tea trees that grow in the clouds at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The three dumplings made of these almost extreme ingredients fused with each other, producing a chemical effect, and Natsume only felt that the qi and blood around his body were surging, and the demon blood was active, and the genes of the active human beings began to be transformed and suppressed.

After eating the three-color dumplings, Natsume waited for a while for the demon blood in his body to calm down, and a little demonization occurred on Natsume's body, and three faint demon lines appeared on both sides of his white face, and it didn't take long for them to disappear again. Inari looked at Natsume's changes: "This effect is too weak, other monsters are okay, Natsume's bloodline is impossible to purify, but Natsume's human bloodline has still been suppressed, and the demon power has risen a little, and demon patterns have begun to appear." Natsume didn't think about it so much, he only felt that his waist was not sore, his legs were not painful, and the fatigue of the day and the sleepiness of the night were swept away. The footsteps were light and slightly forced, and he jumped two meters high, startling Natsume, feeling that he couldn't walk.

At this time, Natsume saw that the little monk who was watching him before saw that he had opened a good thing, and walked to the edge of the city wall with more confidence, and did not observe carefully, but jumped and pounced on a paper lamp that looked like a poop quite far away from him, and the momentum of the jump just brought the little monk of the rain to the top of the paper lamp, and under the action of gravity, the little monk fell straight down, just smashing the paper lamp located below. The paper lamp emitted a faint blue light, penetrating the body of the little monk who fell from the rain, and shone directly at Natsume, who was watching the whole process on the side, and he was really shot while lying down. The light shone past Natsume, and Natsume grew a pair of fox ears on his head behind the white smoke with a "bang".

The stunned Natsume unconsciously moved the ears on the top of his head, causing Amaterasu to scream.,Wrapped Natsume in his arms and ravaged it, "It's so cute!

Thank you!
