"I don't know."

Houtu shook her head, her tone was low, and her face was full of gloom as she lowered her eyelids.

"When my father was defeated and died, I took my father's body back to the tribe for burial, and then began to observe filial piety for my father. It was at that time that the dragon suddenly appeared in front of me, said nothing, and attacked me hard...... After that, by the time I understood what was happening, it was already like this. ”

"In other words, you don't know the purpose of the dragon?"

"Yes."

It's embarrassing.

Not knowing the purpose of the spirit's action, Mu Yue suddenly felt a headache.

This is the second time I've heard the name of the dragon, the first time I saw the battle between the emperor and the poor cicada in a dream, but this time I heard about this person directly from the mouth of Houtu.

Spirits......

An irrepressible sense of disgust arises in the bottom of my heart.

"Tsuki-chan, what's wrong with you?"

Beside him, Mengzhu held Mu Yue's hand with concern.

"Is the wound painful?"

“…… No, I just don't know why, every time I think of the name '魍魉', I feel uncomfortable. ”

"Of course you're going to feel uncomfortable."

Houtu looked at Mu Yue with a smile.

"When I was badly wounded by the monster and imprisoned my soul, that bastard didn't immediately put me to sleep, and even told me a lot of things later."

"For example, he was actually the real murderer who killed his father, and blamed Gao Xinhou, who had not yet become the co-owner at that time, which directly led to the war between the poor cicada and Gao Xin."

“…… Then, when the poor cicada died, he cursed the descendants of Gao Xinhou to kill each other, and if the direct descendants were not co-owners, none of them would be able to live past the age of twenty-five, right? ”

Hou Tu looked at Mu Yue in surprise, "You know? ”

“…… Well, I guess I know. Unfortunately, I'm one of my generation who won't live to be twenty-five years old. ”

"Tsuki-chan ......"

Mengzhu held Mu Yue's hand tightly.

"There must be a way! There must be! ”

Houtu looked Mu Yue up and down, his eyes full of curiosity, "You don't seem to be afraid?" ”

"What's the use of being afraid? It is better to use that energy to find a way to lift the curse, or to enjoy the little life that is left. ”

"You can see it. But I might have a way to deal with the curse of the poor cicada? ”

looked at Mu Yue with a smile, and Houtu suddenly threw a shocking bomb that blew Mu Yue and Mengzhu into a daze.

“…… You—You have a way!? ”

"Don't you care?"

Mu Yue's eyes widened, and Hou Tu laughed unscrupulously when he saw it.

"Say! You have a way to get the curse off Tsuki-chan, right? Tell me okay? I apologize for beating you up...... Well, if you're not satisfied, I'll give you a beating! ”

Mengzhu stepped forward and grabbed Houtu's hands, and the frowning Houtu tried to break free, but there was nothing he could do because Mengzhu's strength was too great.

"Wait, wait! Dream bamboo you-"

"Tsuki-chan, don't speak!"

Turning around, he stopped him with a high voice that surprised Mu Yuedu, and Mengzhu faced Houtu with an unprecedentedly anxious attitude.

"Please, tell me okay? Tell me okay? ”

"Alright, alright! I said yes! You're hurting me! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Mengzhu hurriedly let go of Houtu, and Mu Yue felt distressed for a while when he saw such behavior.

stepped forward, held Mengzhu's hand, and gently pulled the girl to his side.

[Mengzhu has this heart...... And why should I not stick to it]

So, can you tell us? Great kindness, toothless and unforgettable? ”

"Toothless, unforgettable? What do you mean? I'm going to make a request now, huh? ”

"Please!"

Houtu was a little embarrassed by Mu Yue's firm attitude, pursed his lips, and waved his hand to the still slippery girl.

"Okay, there's no need to do that, in fact, this method is just a guess - the bell must be tied to the bell, isn't it? Since the poor cicada cursed Gao Xin, if you want to lift the curse, why don't you just go to the descendants of the poor cicada? ”

"After finding it, there are two ways - kill the other party with your own hands, so that the curse will not be broken, of course, if you can't bear to start, just use the second method - find a way to make the other party willingly agree to lift this curse for you, after all, this is a curse set by the other party's ancestors, and it is naturally impossible for future generations to have no way to lift it."

Find the descendants of the poor cicadas?

Mu Yue smiled bitterly, how easy it is to talk about.

Regardless, there is a solution.

Thinking of this, Mu Yue and Mengzhu bent down deeply against Houtu.

"Thank you!" ”

"Don't rush to say thank you, I have a request."

Houtu snorted, and seemed to be still dissatisfied with Mengzhu's beating of himself before.

"As I said earlier, my original body has been destroyed, and the body of this girl you call Saeko and my soul are surprisingly good, so I need to use this body to leave this hellish place, find the dragon - or his descendants, and take revenge on the enemy, and by the way, investigate what the dragon imprisoned me here for. I always felt that there was a huge conspiracy behind this incident. ”

Mu Yue frowned, Houtu wanted to occupy Saeko's body.

"You don't want to? It seems that you are in a hurry for this girl? ”

“…… Saeko is my friend - that, isn't there any compromise? You need the body to ......."

Mu Yue suddenly thought of a solution.

"By the way, maybe you don't know, I have the ability to transform a spiritual sword into a human, if you want, I can find a sword for your soul to lodge in, and then let the sword transform into a shape, so that you also have a body?"

Houtu's eyes widened, and he looked at Mu Yue incredulously: "You still have this murderous ability?" ”

"Tsuki-chan is very powerful!"

Mengzhu looked proud and honored.

After receiving Mu Yue's proposal, Houtu began to think carefully.

“…… With the spirit sword as my body, wouldn't I have become a sword spirit? However, now that the body is gone, if you can survive as a sword spirit - wait, you said you can make the sword shape, do those shape-changing swords have to obey your orders? ”

“…… I didn't know, and never thought to do that. In fact, there are quite a few such family members in my family now, and they do what they like on weekdays, and I never interfere. If you want, I promise that I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do after you transform. ”

"Guaranteed? That's not safe - if you do, make a vow to me. ”

It's different from ordinary people who swear casually.

For people with spiritual power, once they break an oath, they will be punished greatly.

Mu Yue, who was stared at by Houtu, nodded without hesitation. (To be continued.) )
