Chapter 56

As the high dragon god said, none of the daring youkai showed up this time.

The entire Heiankyo area, with the exception of a few other large shrines, is permeated with the divine power of the great god of Kibune, bringing a cool taste to the somewhat hot nights of June.

People are happily preparing for the rain that will come tomorrow.

- It will rain on the second day of Kibune Festival, which is something that everyone knows very well.

Ao Ling sat on the torii gate of the shrine, watching the portable shrine of the dragon god of Kibune being carried back along the road paved with countless flowers and tributes, before jumping off the torii gate with a yawn, rubbing his shriveled belly, and after greeting Abe Yoshimasa, he left Kibune Shrine by touching the path behind the mountain.

On this night, the shrine gods and shrine maidens all got to know this yokai who was treated kindly by the gods they served.

When facing Ao Ling, although his attitude was not enthusiastic, he could still detect a trace of friendliness.

The sky was a little dark this morning, and the air was filled with deep water vapor, which was full of the spirit of Gao Longshen.

The rain given by the dragon god has the effect of washing away evil and purifying the world.

After this rain, those ghosts lurking in Heiankyo are not strong enough, and they have to shed their skin if they don't die.

However, Ao Ling now has the aura of the high dragon god himself, and it is no problem for him to roll in this rain now.

The wind blew up from under the steps of the shrine, which had gradually cooled down, and a familiar smell wafted through the thick vapor.

Ao Ling's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the end of the road that happened to be obscured by the crimson torii gate below, and after taking a few steps down, he saw a familiar ox cart waiting at the end of the stairs.

He looked around, and was sure that there was no one else, and then he changed back to the form of a little milk dog, and slipped into the ox cart with his little short legs.

"Ye King!" The black puppy flicked his tail happily, and then when he saw that the other party was contaminated with a lot of dark qi, he paused slightly, pulled out a demonic force to drag those evil qi balls over, and stuffed them into his mouth.

"You're not happy." Ao Ling said, his two front paws rested on the legs of King Macang Ye, and his little head took the initiative to come to the other party's hand and rub it.

King Macang, who had spent a very unpleasant half of the night at Macang's house, looked at the black puppy, noticed that the burden on his body had suddenly passed, and raised his hand to rub Ao Ling's little head.

"I'm fine." He said softly.

The ox cart shook slightly, and the sound of the wheels rolling sounded, with a peculiar rhythm.

Ao Ling looked at King Macang Ye, and the latter always looked not in a high mood.

The black puppy was rubbed his head and thought for a while, and took the initiative to climb onto the onmyoji's lap, revealing his belly.

"Didn't you stay away from the portable shrine? Why is the aura on his body so heavy? "Knowing that the medium of the monster approaching the god will feel uncomfortable, and even the injured King of Asakura Ye rubbed Ao Ling's belly and frowned when he touched the black rope hanging around his neck, "You ......"

"This is given to me by Takaryujin, and he said that this is my reward for cleaning up the yokai around Heiankyo recently, although I am a little uncomfortable, but I heard Abe Yoshimasa say that this thing is very useful." Ao Ling wasn't ready to hide it from King Macang Ye at all, he stretched out his paw and flicked the jade plaque hanging on the rope, and three round jade stones the size of fingernails rolled out.

"And this!" Ao Ling looked at the three small jade stones that fell on his belly, looked up and asked King Macang Ye, "What is this for?" ”

"It is the crystallization of the divine power of the dragon god of your ship." King Macang Ye gathered the three jade stones on Ao Ling's belly, "It's very useful for the jade of the four souls." ”

It is estimated that Gao Longshen knew that there was something wrong with Ao Ling's Four Souls Jade, so he specially gave it to him. For the gods to know Ao Ling's little secret, King Macang Ye was not surprised.

Ao Ling hesitated a little, "You have to give the jade of the four souls?" ”

"Not really, one is enough." King Macang Ye motioned for Ao Ling to take back these small crystals.

But Ao Ling refused, he turned over and stretched out his little paw to push the three crystals to King Ye of Macang, "If the Jade of the Four Souls needs one, then the remaining two will be given to King Ye." ”

When I accepted this at that time, I was originally going to transfer it to King Ye.

Ao Ling didn't have any idea about the crystallization of divine power.

He can't eat this thing now, it will rot his intestines if he eats it, and when he grows up to be able to eat it, he probably won't be able to look down on such a small crystal.

It's better to give the King of Macang Leaves more useful.

"Give it to me?" King Macang Ye was very surprised, he pinched the soft flesh pad on Ao Ling's little paws, "This is a gift from the gods. ”

"But it's useless for me to take it." Ao Ling was really upright in this kind of matter, "You helped me repair the Jade of the Four Souls, I haven't repaid you yet, this thing is much more useful in your hands than in my hands." ”

King Macang Ye looked at the black puppy in front of him fixedly, and sighed for a long time.

For him, this little monster by his side is already a very good reward, even if it is only four months of quiet, it is enough to make him feel relaxed, and repairing the Jade of the Four Souls is just a little troublesome for him.

Ao Ling's attitude was so sincere, but it made King Macang Ye, who had concealment, feel a little at a loss.

"I don't care, you accept this thing, if you don't accept it, I'll ......" Ao Ling was silent for a while, and seriously thought about what he had that he could use to threaten King Macang Ye for a long time, and after a while, he snorted: "If you don't accept it, I'll give it to Abe Qingming." ”

"Then I'll take it." King Macang Ye suddenly stopped refusing, took the three small crystals and put them in the hidden pocket in the sleeve of the hunting coat, reached out to pick up the little milk dog, and rubbed it vigorously.

He really didn't know what to do with this little monster.

Originally, I wanted to stay friendly for four months, because after a thousand years, fate wanted to further learn the other party's real name, but this gift smashed King Macang Ye a little helplessly.

For the other party's pure concern and friendliness, King Asakura Ye didn't know how to respond.

It's been a long time since I've heard such pure concern.

King Asakura rubbed his fluffy puppy, lowered his eyes and remembered the memories that were buried in the depths of his mind, the picture seemed a little blurry, and he only vaguely remembered the warm colors and the gentle whispers from his mother.

He woke up from his memories and looked at the black puppy he had crumpled up, "I remember you said you were poor?" ”

Ao Ling was stunned, "...... Did I say that?? ”

"I said it." King Macang Ye said with great certainty.

Ao Ling, who was trying to recall when he had shouted poor, looked at his determined attitude, and suddenly felt that he might have really said it, but he just forgot it.

"Actually, I'm not very poor." Ao Ling stretched out his little paw and touched his nose.

He is actually quite rich, and the task of Chidori was paid very well back then, but he gave most of the remuneration to Teacher Songyang, after all, he didn't have anything to spend money on, but Teacher Songyang and them needed more flowers.

It's just that when I really faced something that only I needed as a monster, I realized that it was indeed lacking.

If you change the killing pill, it is estimated that you don't need to ask for help from others at all, just take the jade of the four souls back to the west to find someone.

King Macang Ye listened to Ao Ling's heart, pursed his lips, and rubbed the little monster lying on his lap, "You can find those monsters who have a hundred ghosts walking at night and go to their nest." ”

This kind of monster is usually stocked with a lot of good things, especially the Hundred Ghost Night Walk, which has existed for many years or even passed down for several generations, this kind of monster organization with a heritage, can scavenge a lot of surprises after being defeated.

"The big monsters of the hundred ghosts who walk at night are all like the feathered foxes?" Ao Ling felt that if it was all the style of painting of the feathered fox, he would still be able to try.

King Macang Ye shook his head, "They are stronger than the feather-clothed fox, but it is only temporary, recently the feather-clothed fox seems to have found a path that can keep her strong all the time, and she is temporarily hidden by her hundred ghosts." ”

Ao Ling suddenly felt a little regretful, he was now different from the previous situation where he could fight regardless of it, he had to save his little life, at least after handing over the jade of the four souls to the teacher, and then he would consider challenging himself.

King Ma Cang Ye quietly listened to what Ao Ling was thinking, rubbing the puppy's hand and did not stop, "If you don't want to go, then you can stay here and do something to earn something." ”

"What's the matter?" Ao Ling raised his eyes to look at King Macang Ye, his face full of puzzlement.

"The Asakura family wants you to be able to devour the power of evil qi, and other nobles will want it too." King Macang Ye thought of what he heard at Macang's house tonight, and snorted coldly, "Since they want to know your ability, let them see enough." ”

The idea of King Macang Ye is actually very simple, that is, to announce Ao Ling's existence to the world.

When Ao Ling's ability to devour evil qi was known to everyone, the Asakura family couldn't easily touch him.

It was no secret that the evil spirit was rampant in Heiankyo, and even when the nobles went to the Onmyoji Mansion for help in private, they understood that no matter how strong the enchantment was, it couldn't prevent the ghosts born in their hearts.

Ao Ling's existence is definitely a life-saving existence in the eyes of those who have a conscience but are wavering.

As long as there are enough nobles asking for help, let alone money, power and status can be said to be called immediately, even if Ao Ling is a monster, those nobles can abandon anything for their lives.

And in the face of the oppression of the needs of so many nobles, and perhaps even the needs of the big nobles, even the one in the big interior could not force Ao Ling to become the private property of the royal family.

In this way, whether it is to collect wealth or alleviate hunger, this method is beneficial and harmless for Ao Ling, and it can also check and balance the Asakura family who wants to attack him secretly.

As for being criticized by others for using the god to accumulate wealth or something, King Macang Ye doesn't care.

He'd heard enough of the malicious speculation and the dark minds, and it was no different to him that he was openly accused.

- As long as the little monster is happy.
