Chapter 54

However, no matter how subtle King Macang Ye was in his heart, he couldn't ask, and could only watch Ao Ling follow Abe Yoshichang out of the Yin and Yang Dao.

Youkai in human form, even people who don't have the power to see ghosts can see it.

Ao Ling's humanoid appearance is very pointed, especially the pitch-black demon knife on his waist - hanging this knife and wearing a jade plaque engraved with Abe Harumi, plus a pitch-black outfit in addition to the belt and hair bandage, how do you look like the Abe Harumi Shikami, who has recently become famous.

Especially when he was still with Abe Yoshimasa.

Abe Yoshimasa took Ao Ling to the astronomical path on the other side of the Yinyangliao, and did not conceal the identity of this monster, but very calmly introduced it to the person who asked, this is the Shikigami who recently took out the nest of monsters around Heiankyo.

Then under the awe-inspiring and curious eyes of others, he said: In order to ensure the combat power of this Shikkai, the contract is not very binding on him, he is still a bloodthirsty demon in essence, if you don't want to die, you should stay away.

As soon as the words fell, those who wanted to find out immediately withdrew their gaze.

After Ao Ling looked over one by one, he didn't even dare to look this way.

Ao Ling, who had recently felt a little bit about the jealousy of others, looked at these inspired astronomers, and did not say anything about their cautious and uneasy attitude.

He wouldn't really eat them anyway.

The monster boy followed Abe Yoshimasa, and when he saw the other party sitting down, he also sat cross-legged to the side, and the demon knife at his waist was also taken off and held in his arms.

"There are still some official tasks that cannot be completed today...... Sakata-kun waited for a while. Abe Yoshimasa picked up the pen that was placed aside, and said softly while wetting it, and by the way, he took out a scroll from the small bookcase on the side and handed it to Ao Ling, "This is a map of the area that needs to be controlled during the Kibune Festival, Sakata-kun can take a look at it first." ”

Ao Ling maintained a expressionless face, took the scroll, and nodded very coldly.

After all, he has used the name Ling Sakata for a long time, and he has adapted well to the title "Sakata-kun".

The black-haired and almond-eyed boy held the pitch-black knife in his arms, sat quietly on the edge of the low table, slightly lowered his head to check the scroll, the June sun outside the window gently fell on him, making his whole person look very quiet and peaceful, the slightly raised corners of his eyes softened the contours of his face, and seemed to always have a slight smile.

- It's completely different from the rumored bloodthirsty killing god.

This scroll is very large, probably because the god Takaryu is the god who favors Heiankyo the most today, and the map of this Kibune Festival is very detailed.

What Abe Yoshimasa needs to do is to maintain the private affairs of this Kibune Festival, which is different from the guards who deter civilians on the surface, what they need to do is to be responsible for welcoming the portable shrine, maintaining the safety of the portable shrine on the road, and preventing those demons who covet the power of the gods from taking advantage of the situation.

Although everyone felt that it must be very safe for this Kibune Festival based on the recent situation in Heiankyo, Abe Yoshimasa still ran to find the god general before this and contacted King Asakura Ha, hoping to get Ao Ling's help.

The existence of this monster has a huge deterrent effect on other monsters.

And he really wanted to see what the youkai that swept around in the name of a domestic dog without complaint looked like.

As a result, it seems that this boy looks more like a human than a youkai - you must know that a big youkai who can turn into a human form can't have such an approachable temperament.

From time to time, Abe Yoshimasa looked up at the black-haired boy sitting on the side, and when the other party finally looked up and looked at him suspiciously, he shook his head apologetically.

"Sorry, I'm just curious." Abe Yoshimasa put down the work he had done and took a new scroll out.

Ao Ling was a little confused, "Curious about what?" ”

"You look...... It's a lot worse than rumored. Abe Yoshimasa thought of those rumors, and originally thought that he would see a tall and hideous monster today, but he didn't expect it to be a handsome-looking young man.

"What are the rumors like?" Ao Ling was a little curious, he didn't know how he was passed on outside, because he himself was only responsible for eating, sleeping, waking up, and eating.

"It's just some ...... Shura from hell, bloodthirsty demons, black shadows...... Something like that. "It's not a good thing to say after all, after all, in most people's hearts, for youkai, even if they have been accepted as a god, they are all aliens, and they can't get any good feelings.

Ao Ling didn't mind at all, he smacked his lips, "Sounds a little handsome." ”

Abe Yoshimasa shook his head with a smile, not planning to continue the topic, directly spread out the scroll in his hand, and began to explain his mission tonight to the monster boy next to him.

In fact, it's very simple to say, just show up a little bit next to the portable shrine and announce his existence to everyone.

Other times, you can hide wherever you want, and it is not mandatory to follow the shrine throughout the whole process, of course, the protection of the whole process is still needed.

Ao Ling felt that this job was quite simple, but in fact, he was more concerned about another point than whether the portable shrine was safe.

"In the past, there were always youkai at Kibune festivals?" He asked.

Abe Yoshimasa nodded, "But you've been moving a lot lately, and those monsters shouldn't have the guts to come over again." ”

Ao Ling had a regretful look on his face.

Without a monster, where is he going to find food tonight?

In fact, he had run far enough last night, but he still hadn't encountered any big monsters.

I heard King Asakura Ye say that there are many powerful monsters on the Shikoku side, but the distance is really a bit far, even at his speed, it takes a whole night to go back and forth.

Even if he doesn't bother, but tonight and last night, he has to hang the name of Abe Harumi, and there is no way to leave at all, and if he eats evil spirits, he will expose King Macang Ye.

Ao Ling thought about rubbing his shriveled belly, sadly realizing that he was going to starve tonight.

"Let's go." Abe Yoshimasa stood up and stretched out his hand to Ao Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a loveless face, "It's better to take you through the route, if there is really something at the festival." ”

Ao Ling looked at Abe Yoshimasa and got up on his own.

Abe Yoshichang was slightly stunned, withdrew his hand and scratched his face a little embarrassed, then turned around and left Yinyangliao with Ao Ling.

King Macang Ye sat in the Yin and Yang Dao, looked at Ao Ling following behind Abe Yoshimasa, frowned, put down the book in his hand, and turned his head to look at Abe Changhao, who was kneeling on the side.

This little ghost suddenly came to him today, saying that he had a few questions that he wanted him to answer.

"Your father ......" King Asakura Ha compared himself and Abe Yoshimasa a little in his heart, "Are you proficient in the magic of Shikigami manipulation?" ”

"Huh?" Abe Changhao was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why this onmyoji, who was quite capable and even recommended to him by the little monsters, asked this, he hesitated slightly, but still confessed straightforwardly: "Compared to you, my father's talent in the calendar and feng shui is better." ”

Therefore, it is worth going to the Astronomical Dao after entering the Yin-Yang Liao, rather than coming to the Yin-Yang Dao.

King Macang Ye nodded, in fact, he was very aware of Abe Yoshimasa's strength, but when he watched the other party take Ao Ling away, he felt a little anxious in his heart.

- It is not excluded that it is because Ao Ling is not by his side, and those irritating heart sounds are once again coming into his ears.

But no matter what the reason for the anxiety in his heart, since the little ghost in front of him is the son of Abe Yoshimasa, it is natural for King Asakura Ye to embarrass this little man who came to ask.

The onmyoji with a clear face looked at the little value of the yin-yang liao, and the bat fan in his hand lightly tapped his chin and narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly felt a chill Abe Masahiro: ???

……

The night in Heiankyo was supposed to be quiet.

But tonight, the curfew was lifted, and every house hung up lights at the door, and the storefronts were still open at night, and the lights were as if it were a festival.

Ao Ling squatted on the torii gate of Kifune Shrine, looking at the many people worshipping at the bottom of the shrine, and the brilliant lights displayed by a whole line of temporarily erected stalls, he only felt hungry.

- Whether it is these people or the aroma of food wafting from those stalls, it seduces his taste buds all the time.

Ao Ling whimpered sadly, turned his head to look at the majestic shrine, took out the money bag that Abe Yoshimasa stuffed to him when he left, and finally couldn't hold back, jumped off the torii gate and ran to the lively market.

The Kibune Festival is an annual event for those who worship the god of the high dragon, especially when it is rumored that the dragon god of the noble ship has a great relationship with the single seedling of the new generation of the Abe family, and the people of Beijing are even more happy to worship this dragon god.

After all, compared to the gods who have not appeared for a long time and do not know whether they are willing to take care of them, the dragon gods of the noble ships are always very effective, and always perform miracles through Shinto people, and they are more worthy of sacrifice.

Ao Ling stuffed the jade plaque engraved with Abe Qingming into his clothes and hid it, and the demon knife was also melted into his body, and he rushed into the market directly with the money bag.

Although none of these foods can make him feel full, it is okay to satisfy the cravings of the tongue!

If he didn't eat anything, he felt that he couldn't stand to gnaw on these humans.

Ao Ling was holding a string of three-color balls, holding takoyaki in his arms, and his eyes were staring at the flower branch pills that were about to come out of the pot in the stall in front of him.

The stall owner looked at this good-looking young man with a smile and gave him several more.

Ao Ling looked at the stall owner in surprise, the stall owner pointed to a group of girls behind him who were very beautifully dressed, looking at the black-haired boy who was a little shy but wanted to get closer, Lang smiled and teased: "You have brought me a lot of business." ”

Ao Ling, who had this experience for the first time, scratched his head embarrassedly, and finally counted the extra pills, forced the money to the stall owner, and ran to another stall where the text was burned to find a vacant seat to sit down, looking at the busy stall owner with a blank eye.

As a result, the waiter did not wait for the stall owner, but waited for a beautiful woman with cold white hair.

She walked in with a full body of spirit and sat directly opposite Ao Ling.

Ao Ling, who felt uncomfortable because of his holy aura, frowned and turned his head to look at the strange beautiful woman.

"You ......"

"Ahh......h ”

Sunny ...... That kid??

Ao Ling, who has seen the portrait of Abe Harumi for the elderly many times in the Yinyang Liao, looked confused.

He seriously thought about who could call Abe Harumi that, and then thought about the location here and the other party's demeanor, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Are you...... The high dragon god of your ship? ”
