This time, it was the five love foxes who found the nine empty smoke by themselves. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I've been following for so long, probably what's the point, right?" Jiukong Xun stopped and seemed to be speaking to some people: "It just so happens that I also have something to look for you, come out." ”

The five-love fox sitting on the roof shook his head with a smile and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Mr. Xun, meow......"

Perhaps he didn't plan to hide it anymore, Wulian Fox jumped lightly from the roof of the dilapidated bungalow, and Jiukong was silent silently, waiting for Wulian Fox's explanation.

"Mr. Xun, do you know where our village elder has gone? At the beginning, the spiritual sense I secretly set up for the village chief disappeared. Although the five love foxes were still smiling, they felt a little indifferent to Jiukong Xun.

Jiukong Xun shook his head and didn't make a sound.

"I'm going to be very troubled by that." Seeing that Jiukong Xun did not react, the five love foxes slowly walked towards Jiukong Xun.

"A word of caution in advance, don't expect the charm in your hand, I will take all improper actions as a provocation to me." Jiukong Xun tilted his head, as if to state some of the simplest facts: "I did meet the village chief just now, but it's none of my business that he's missing. ”

"Another ......"

The five love fox creeped and felt the cold air constantly hitting his neck, and the cold metal had been put on his neck at some point.

"Tell me everything you know, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Jiukong Xun no longer rubbed, and directly drew his knife and threatened: "There is going to be a big incident in your village, so if you don't want a group of children to be buried with you, be honest." ”

[Wow, when!] 】

The five love foxes didn't see the movements of the Nine Empty Smoke just now, and even if they were engrossed, they couldn't detect when the black knife was unsheathed.

"There's something to say, there's something to say...... Don't be so swords-and-guns. The five love foxes, who were in a cold sweat between their foreheads, smiled stiffly and played a round game.

Although it is an extremely rude act, there is no way to do it, this is one of the methods that he summed up that is most likely to make people tell the truth.

[Let's apologize after settling the matter.] Jiukong Xun thought so, but the black knife was still fixed in front of the neck of the five love foxes.

"First of all, did you give you that mask from the village chief?"

"Meow?"

"Wait." Jiukong was stunned: "You don't know? ”

"The mask I want to give to the village chief is here." The five-love fox carefully pulled off the mask from the bag on his back, which was the kind of comedy mask that was very green.

"Did you give him a mask before?"

"No...... What does Mr. Smoke mean meow? ”

Nine Sky Smoke did not respond.

The five love foxes seemed to notice that something was wrong, and asked, "Meow? What's wrong with meow? ”

"I didn't expect it to ...... so soon"

Jiukong Xun pulled the black knife off the neck of the Five Love Fox, and the Five Love Fox, who felt the burden of being lifted, suddenly fell down in shock holding his chest.

Almost at the same time, the invisible barrier that shrouded the village was completely shattered, and the spirits in the sky continued to scatter.

"When the 'form' is close, then the 'reason' is also ......"

The unusually pale face of the Five Love Fox wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, shook his feet and said in disbelief: "The barrier set has been broken!" ”

"The heart is entangled with karma, and after putting on a false mask, it is a ghost who closes his heart." Jiukong Xun sighed: "Your village chief seems to have some troubles, and now he wants to vent it." ”

"I'm here to solve the mutation, and in return, tell me what I used to be."

The demon's golden eyes looked through the shadows and looked directly at one of the insiders.

Wulian Fox gritted his teeth and decided to inform Jiukong Xun of everything.

"Actually, once that incident was ......" "Boom!!"

The brutal madman stepped into the peaceful village, and the male-faced ghost roared with a stone club and smashed open the village's tight gates.

"Ghosts!?"

"Your village chief - once."

Jiukong Xun raised the black knife slightly, and sighed: "Although there is no way, but human life is at stake, let's break the rules once this time." ”

"Stop."

Jiukong Xun looked at the five-love fox that stood up and spread his hands to block it, shook his head and said, "Go away, the evil demon should be killed immediately." It's not your beloved old man anymore. ”

"I'm also a monster, and I'm here to kill meow! If you want to hurt the village chief's grandfather, step over my corpse first! Although it is a young face, it is a determination that cannot be compromised.

"Why?"

Jiukong Xun looked not far away from the commotion, and said with a little irritation: "There is no time, if there are casualties, it will be too late...... Go away. ”

"Although the village chief's grandfather has done bad things, he has repented and is now a good man!"

The five-love fox gritted his teeth, held on to his injuries and shouted angrily: "This is not fair to the village chief grandfather!" You can't hurt him! ”

[Bad things? 】

Like a key to open the door to decay, this word made Jiukong Xun's footsteps stop.

Looking at the completely unfamiliar scene around him, Jiukong Xun realized that he had obtained "truth".

Jiukong Xun, who was still in the village a second ago, appeared in front of a dilapidated grass hut at this moment, and a group of villagers were punching and kicking a young man who fell to the ground and was powerless to resist.

This is the "truth" that happened in the past, the image of the past that has been reproduced through the precious eye, and everything that is seen here is false.

[This young man......] Jiukong Xun leaned over, passed through the bodies of the villagers without hindrance, and came to the beaten young man.

The young man's bruised and swollen face was covered with blood and tears, and he shouted unwillingly while suffering the beatings of the villagers: "I didn't steal! I didn't steal! ”

"Kill this thief who stole the fruits of our sweat!"

"It's already a big drought this year, and you're still stealing our crops!"

"You youkai born!"

The young man was beaten and scolded, but he muttered persistently: "I am not a thief...... I didn't steal...... Don't insult my daddy...... My dad isn't a monster......"

Jiukong Xun, who was standing on the side, shook his head, this is what happened in the past, even if it wanted to, it was impossible.

Although the young man had a blue nose and swollen face and couldn't see his original appearance, Jiukong Xun knew that this was the kind old village chief.

The villagers spat at the dying youth on the ground, and scolded, "We've brought in the mages from the city to stop your hapless monster daddy, we've got rid of them while you're out stealing!" ”

"...... Get? ”

"Hahahaha! Burn them all to death, of course! Youkai are all bad things that eat people, and you little bastard will be no exception! ”

Tears of blood continued to flow from the young man's godless eyes, and the words of the villagers made him lose all hope.

"Daddy...... He's dead? ”

"Tie up this little monster and throw it in the wood room! Burn to death at night! ”

"Daddy...... mother?"

Several villagers tied the hands and feet of the dying young man and dragged him out of Jiukong Xun's field of vision.

Jiukong Xun didn't say a word, but his hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of the knife, and he put it down after a while.

"It's just a phantom, though...... It's ugly. ”

The desperate eyes of the young man, I don't know how many times I have seen it, but every time I see it, I always feel a sting in my heart.

Person? Monster?

Or is it that people are monsters? Youkai are also youkai?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

One moment ago, in front of the grass hut in the morning, and now in the firewood house in the evening, the young man with his hands and feet tied was like a pig and sheep to be slaughtered, silently waiting for death to come.

"Hey, wake up." The white shadow woke up the sleeping youth.

The young man woke up dimly and asked the white shadow in front of him with a little doubt, "Huh? Who are you? ”

"I'll get you out, and when you get out, set fire to the village." Kill these bad guys! ”

The pure white face was almost in front of the young man, the kind of mask in the Noh theater performance, and the corners of the mouth that looked like ink were smiling strangely at the young man.

Looking at the white face in front of him, the young man somehow and confusedly agreed.

"Okay."

The white shadow carefully separated the rope with pieces of rubble, then gently opened the half-hidden door of the firewood room, poked his head out and looked around quietly, then turned back to the young man and said, "Get out quickly, those bad guys are coming." ”

"Oh, thank you......"

The dazed young man didn't know what was going on, so he fled.

Jiukong Xun stood outside the firewood room, silently looking at the young man who kept running away barefoot.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The night was lit by the glow of the fire, the screams of sorrow mingled with the sound of falling wood, and the blackened smoke stimulated the youth's sense of smell and tear ducts.

The young man, whose brain was blank, stared at the village that had turned into a fire in a daze, not knowing when the voice that pierced his heart awakened his senses.

[You murderous demon! A youkai who set fire to it! Just now, the woman broke down and cried, and was crushed in two by the burning beam.

The torch in his hand quietly fell to the ground.

"I'm ...... What stupid thing did you do!! ”

The remorseful young man tore his hair, knelt down weakly, and cried loudly: "I am a monster! I'm really a monster! I killed someone! ”

Tears of collapse mixed with nose stained on the young man's distorted face, and even if he lost his mind, the young man vaguely recalled his inner conscience.

"That's right...... Save...... Save! I'm not a monster! It's not too late! ”

The young man shouted like a madman, and once again rushed into the tragedy of his own making.

The white shadow hidden behind the big tree smiled a few times, and the smile outlined in ink looked particularly bloody.

Jiukong Xun looked at the face of the white monster and thought of something.

In the end, the young man tried his best, and at the cost of half of his face and the scorched blackening of his body, he exchanged it for a few immature children who were scared of dementia.

This is the final "truth".

The nine airs that he had witnessed were squatting down and quietly looking at the young man who was crying with the children in his arms.

The blackened half of the young man's face was constantly flowing with tears.
