The next day, Zhibei, who threw a copy of the Tao Te Ching to Ah Yi, first assigned an assignment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ah Yi, on this day, you read this book first, I don't need you to memorize it, but I hope you can have some opinions of your own, and I will test you when I come back in the evening."

"Master......" Ah Yi pounced and hugged Zhibei's thigh.

"What's wrong? Is it homesick? You don't need to say, Ah Yi, I know that children will have symptoms of homesickness soon after they leave home. Zhibei interrupted Ah Yi's words, and gently stroked the little girl's long pink hair with his big hand, "But your grandmother should also have some troubles, so she specially sent you to me, don't worry, just treat this place as your own home, we will all treat you as family." ”

"Master......" Ah Yi raised her delicate little face, her big eyes were a little moist, and her white little nose had been slightly wrinkled, in Zhibei's opinion, it was obviously a sign that she was about to cry because of his words.

"Needless to say, Ah Yi, I understand, I must feel that I am not used to sleeping in the bed, I feel that the food I eat is not familiar, I don't see my dear parents every day, so I must feel very lonely, everyone will encounter such a situation, only a strong habit of him, in order to live a wonderful life, if there is anything not used to it, just say it, the master will try to help you, although the master is going to leave now, but don't worry, Kaguya and Yonglin are good people."

"Master, isn't it ......" Ah Yi, who had been interrupted many times, exclaimed anxiously, her little face flushed, and tears were squeezed out by her big blinking eyes, "It's just, master, I don't know how to read!! ”

"Huh?"

Seeing Zhibei's eyes full of doubts, Ah Yi lowered his head shyly and muttered: "No one in the family is allowed to read a book, nor is Ah Yi allowed to learn ...... words" Speaking of the back, Ah Yi's voice was already as small as a mosquito.

"Is that so?" Zhibei, who had made up a lot of brains in an instant, nodded clearly, "Okay then?" But your grandmother knows you can never forget, right? ”

"Yes, Ah Yi can draw exactly the same, amazing!" Speaking of this, Ah Yi raised his head again and smiled proudly.

"That's amazing!" Zhibei cooperated and touched the little girl's head, looking at her with an expression of enjoyment like a kitten, "Then, let Kaguya teach you to read and write today!" Because the master promised others, he wants to go out and study here obediently, okay? ”

"Good!" Ah Yi nodded obediently and responded.

――――――

Because he agreed to Yongyi, Zhibei planned to complete this adventure as soon as possible.

called Yongyi, who had just woken up, and the two rushed towards the great rivers and mountains of Tanba Country non-stop. Zhibei sat on the phoenix's body, and Yongyi ran in the air, her movements seemed to be extraordinarily soft and slow, but the speed of running was faintly faster than Zhibei.

In about an hour, the two of them had already reached the sky above the great rivers and mountains.

Located near Kyoto, Oeyama is the only way to get to Kyoto, with an altitude of more than 800 meters above sea level, and is also known as Mt. Senjo.

The two of them from the air couldn't see the mountain as it was, but the steep rock surrounded by white clouds still delighted their eyes with its magnificent scenery.

"It's beautiful!" After Zhibei sighed, he asked Yongyi, who was sitting cross-legged in the air beside him, "Let's go down like this?" ”

"No, we have to wait for a little ghost, she has discovered the huge hidden labyrinth, and we probably won't be able to find it without her leading the way."

"Really?" Nodding noncommittally, Zhibei's eyes swept downward, and in the various shades of green, there were occasional light brown bare rock blocks, but they didn't look like a huge labyrinth. He couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Yongyi, is that maze really 'huge'?" I looked at it and there was nothing. ”

"I don't know, the little ghost I found said it was a very big palace, and there was a big, big labyrinth in it. Maybe it's on the back side of the mountain, if it's so easy to spot, it will be discovered a long time ago, and it's our turn to venture there. ”

"Maybe it's in the mountains...... Well? Here it comes? Because he felt a power fluctuation that was very similar to Yongyi, Zhibei looked behind him.

In the sky there, a young ghost flew, whether it was a childlike appearance or a petite body less than one meter four, worthy of Yongyi's title of "little ghost" - in every sense, the little ghost in front of her, wearing a shabby beige dress, long brown straight hair hanging down to her waist, tied up at the ends of her hair, and two big horns on her head were unrestrainedly erect, which set off her childishness.

The little ghost walked crookedly in the sky, and kept putting the wine gourd into his mouth to the wine, and the hazy happiness and drunkenness made people worry about whether she would fall.

But at this time, Zhibei was already very surprised, the little ghost in front of her was too familiar, if she hung a triangular pyramid, cube and ball with iron chains around her waist, and replaced the small gourd in her hand with a purple big gourd, then she would completely coincide with the image in Zhibei's impression.

Because he was close to Yongyi, Zhibei didn't worry about any unexplainable questions, he just frowned slightly, and asked Yongyi beside him, "Yongyi, is her name Ibuki Suika?" ”

"You mean the imp? Brother Zhibei, do you know her, but she is just called Cuixiang, and with her strength, she is not worthy of a surname. ”

"Really? Now, Yongyi, do you remember "Death, Death, Pen, Record"? ”

"It's the Dead Sea Papers, brother!" Of course, Yongyi remembered the prophecy that changed her mentality and fate, so she couldn't help but glare at Zhibei in disgust.

"Ah yes, it's the Dead Sea Papers, I'm sorry, I was wrong just now, anyway, you have to know that the above prophecy is that there are four ghost kings......" Zhibei paused, and after retracting Yongyi's dissatisfied gaze, he ended his uncomfortable gasp, he pointed to the oncoming Cuixiang, and said, "This, the little ghost you are talking about is the future Monster Ghost King." ”

"Just her?" Yongyi glanced at the imp with disdain.

"Yes, it's her, even though she's weak now, but there's already something shining through."

Zhibei looked at the fragrance that flew in with deep eyes, as if muttering to himself.

At this time, Cuixiang was so weak that she couldn't even beat Ishka - of course, Ishka would lose if she really fought.

This made Zhibei can't help but wonder, what will happen in the future to make such a little ghost become a famous drunken boy who moves the world?
