Next Chapter

As the dark night fell, the noise of the world gradually stopped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The empty and dark streets in the eyes of the info people began to come alive in Natsume's eyes, and countless bewitching or vicious yokai began to appear in the empty streets.

Between the two floors, hiding behind a pile of miscellaneous objects, Natsume covered his mouth and nose and looked at the two pitch-black monsters that walked in front of him, and there was a faint ominous aura like rats, but their bodies taller than humans still revealed their identities.

The two rat monsters suddenly stopped in front of the debris, and the larger rat demon said to the rat demon next to him, "I smell it, the smell of humans." "How is it possible, how can there be humans in this kind of place at this time, you must have drunk too much," said the rat demon next to him.

The voices of the two youkai faded away, and Natsume exhaled a big breath, "I was scared to death, I was almost discovered." Turning around, Natsume was about to leave, but found that the youkai who had already gone away was standing behind him, "Son of Human, you saw us, I said that I smelled the smell of humans, it turned out that you were hiding" "Son of Humans, your smell smells very good, and the spiritual power is also very strong, let me eat you" As soon as the words fell, the two youkai in front of Natsume's face tossed and turned among the relatives changed their shapes, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth, and fishy saliva flowed from their mouths.

Natsume was shocked and used all his strength to crash away, and the two youkai who surrounded him at some point. Kyoto at night is like a hundred ghosts walking at night, lively but dangerous, and Natsume running out of the alleys runs wildly on the avenue full of monsters.

The youkai chasing after him kept shouting "eat you" and "eat you"

Natsume's heart was full of sour taste at this time. Since childhood, his parents died and he was adopted by relatives, but because he could see some things that ordinary people could not see, "monsters", he was often chased by monsters and some weird and terrifying words and deeds were feared and disliked by relatives, and he was constantly shirked by relatives. Because he can see youkai and speaks and behaves strangely, he is called a liar by children of the same age. When children of the same age are still coquettish in the arms of their parents, they can be alone. These lonely fears permeated young Natsume's heart, and then turned into crystal tears rolling down Natsume's brown eyes and disappearing into the dark street.

Young Natsume ran wildly without knowing the purpose, and I don't know how long it took for Natsume to have uncontrolled legs and feet just mechanical movements, and when he saw the torii gate of the shrine from afar, he had a look of hope on his face. But the two youkai chasing behind him were very close to him, thinking that it would be soon, as long as I got to the shrine, I would be safe. Thinking like this, it was like a force poured into my feet, and my steps seemed to be brisk.

As he passed the long staircase in front of the shrine, Natsume thought about the time when he was about to arrive, and the youkai behind him had already opened his mouth to swallow Natsume. Natsume tripped under his feet and tripped over the raised stone and threw forward, Natsume thought to himself that he would definitely not be able to escape this time, "I'm going to die!" It's better to be dead." But he didn't expect to pounce straight into the torii of the shrine, and a golden light spread from the shrine to the torii to form a hemispherical barrier. The monster that didn't have time to brake immediately dissolved into this brilliant golden light.

The shrine after the golden light is silent, and the youkai in front of you seem to have never appeared, silent but not gloomy at all, completely different from the shrine full of tourists during the day, full of solemn feeling. Suddenly, in the quiet space, there was a mysterious bell full of divinity, an ancient sound that no bell in the world could strike. Natsume was startled by the quaint sound of the bell, and then indulged in the sound of the bell and walked towards the shrine.

When Natsume stepped into the gate of the shrine with one foot, the shrine in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and Natsume found that in front of him was a solemn gate, the roof of which was paved with tiles and stood on the ground where the whole ground had been built. The sliding door is made of wood, and just by looking at the moss growing on the door and the degree of embroidery of the door hinge, you can know the age of this door. The appearance of the stone walls extending to the left and right sides gives a sense of oppression similar to that of a Buddhist pavilion, and it seems that it was a noble mansion built in the Heian period

Suddenly, the door in front of him opened, but Natsume didn't find the person who opened the door, and Natsume's heart was full of fear and curiosity and exploration of this shrine. Passing through the huge door just now, it's just the population of the house. There is also an upward ramp inside the gate, and the houses are at the end of the ramp, on the top of a hill. A clear spring flows down the mountain, and the water flows through Natsume's feet and then to the blur of the sky, carrying the falling petals of the cherry blossom trees on both sides. Natsume walked across the small wooden bridge built over the stream and walked towards the boardwalk at the foot of the mountain covered with cherry blossoms. When Natsume made it to the top with all his strength, a house bigger than he had ever imagined appeared. The roof of the house was paved with tiles, and shimmered with a golden glow like warm sunlight. There is a pond in the spacious garden, a cloister opposite the lush cherry trees, and the cherry trees in the courtyard corridor are cool, and the entrance to the entrance is also very imposing. Natsume approached and found that the house under the shade of the layers of cherry trees was built on the water and floated in the air, and when Natsume didn't know how to pass, a gentle wind blew from behind him, carrying Natsume across the water and towards the house.

When the wind swept across the water, Natsume's feet stepped on the water, but he found that he had not sunk. Natsume, who was brushing across the water, stood in front of the imposing entrance, and found that in front of the entrance stood a man wearing a dark yukata and a haori, this person had long golden hair that fell like a waterfall between his legs, and his hands were in the sleeves of his yukata, and the pattern of the feathers embroidered with golden rice patterns on the back of his body reflected the color of the person's hair with an indescribable sense of nobility. "This man is so beautiful, his fox ears are so cute that he wants to touch them." Natsume thought to herself, "Wait for the cute fox ears on top of my head" "Ah, youkai, ah~~". Natsume was so frightened that she turned around and wanted to run, "Wait, kid, I'm not a youkai, I'm the god of this Fushimi Inari Shrine here." Natsume stepped back, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Are you the god of this shrine?" "Yes, I am the current Uga no Soul God of this Inari Shrine, and you can call me Irokyo." Natsume calmed down, tilted his head and asked, "Iroo, you took me down from those two youkai."

"Yes"

"Where is this?"

"This is Takamagahara"

"Why did you save me?"

The Inari God was silent for a moment and spoke: "My Inari Shrine's Uga Soul God was originally a Sky Fox, and you have the blood of the Sky Fox in your bloodline, you are a descendant of the Sky Fox, as a descendant of the Sky Fox, although you have not awakened your bloodline and will not use demon power, but your demon power is naturally strong, so you can see some things that ordinary people can't see, youkai." This has caused endless trouble in your previous life and made you suffer a lot. Hearing this, Natsume's heart has been feeling scared by seeing youkai, and the uneasiness of tossing and turning among relatives,

The pain of being beaten and scolded by his peers and other emotions that were suppressed in the bottom of my heart exploded and turned into tears pouring out of my eyes.

Seeing that the little Natsume Inari God who was crying so sadly, took Natsume's trembling arm with his hand, picked Natsume up, and let him bury him in his chest and cry loudly. Gently stroking Natsume's head, Natsume's crying gradually became smaller, her trembling body tended to relax, her breathing gradually stabilized, and Natsume, who was tired of crying, seemed to find a safe place to fall asleep.

"Asleep?" A soft female voice came from the Japanese room behind him. "Well, I'm tired of crying," Inari God returned. The two sent Natsume to a quiet bedroom, summoned the gods, laid the quilt on the tatami, put Natsume down, covered the quilt, closed the sliding door and exited the room. , the two turned around and went to the Japanese room outside.

The two sat down at the table in the Japanese room, and the fox-like envoy brought tea and refreshments and knelt down and went out of the room, leaving the man and woman sitting opposite each other, and the god Inari opened his mouth for a long time and said: "Amaterasu, this child is my blood descendant, and now he is trapped by the youkai because the power of the bloodline has not yet awakened, and I want to leave him in Takamagahara." The two sat silently for a long time, and when the cup of tea was about to be drunk, Amaterasu said: "Yes, as long as he wants" Inari God put down the teacup, "I thought you wouldn't agree to a mortal staying in Takamagahara" Amaterasu smiled softly and said, "He's not a mortal, is he?" He is a celestial fox, a descendant of yours, maybe he can inherit the throne of the two of us in the future, and we will be able to unload our heavy responsibilities, won't we? The two looked at each other and smiled, and Amaterasu said, "From now on, he will be our child."

Natsume, who woke up from a sleep, opened his dry eyes after crying with difficulty, but found that it was not the ceiling of his familiar relative's house, and he was in a spacious and indoor, and the room was filled with a light fragrance of tea, it turned out that today's experience was not a dream Natsume thought that when Natsume struggled to get up, there was a voice outside the door that "Lord Inari God, the guest inside Amaterasu-sama woke up".

Footsteps rang out in the hallway outside the door, and then the door opened and two men walked in. Natsume exclaimed, "Lord Inari God", Inari bent down and picked up Natsume and Amaterasu walked out of the Japanese-style room to the edge between indoor and outdoor, sat cross-legged and looked at the cherry blossoms that fell beside him with the wind, and said to Natsume, who had been in his arms: "Natsume, you are my descendant, you have the blood of the heavenly fox, you are willing to stay." Amaterasu, who had been sitting next to Natsume and Inari, spoke: "My name is Amaterasu, little Natsume, you can stay in Takamagahara, if you want, you can call me mom or Inari dad." ”

"Would you like to? Natsume"

"Really? Can it really be? ”

"It's true, as long as you want"

Hearing this answer, Natsume pounced on Inari and Amaterasu and cried loudly, "Mom, Dad, Mom, Dad."
