Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 97: For Ghosts and Snakes

After going upstairs to rest, they gathered in their room again. It was already dark, and it was hard to take a breath, Mu Wan didn't want them to run to see the dark sky again. She mentioned the events of the day, and talked about the dart master named Duan Yuesheng.

"I'm really angry, I've never seen such an uneducated person!"

Shanhai also laughed, and Dai Luan echoed and said:

"Where are there three names, so many words, when you hear it, it is a compound surname."

Although aimless, a group of people is easier than ever. Only Shi Wuqi had no expression, and Miss Qi stood behind him, her hands on his shoulders. As for him, holding his face with one hand, he looked at the waning moon outside the window.

"What's wrong with you, absent-minded," Mu Wan could see, "Didn't you want to be the first to come up and laugh at me in the past?" ”

"Ah," he came back to his senses, "it's funny......"

“……”

The three of them didn't notice anything anymore, but it was too undeserved. Dai Luan raised her face and asked him:

"What's wrong with Abandonment? Do you remember something from the past? ”

"Hmm...... Sort of, not for long," he pinched his fingers, "it was, three or four years ago." ”

Shanhai asked him what happened, and he wanted to say something, as if he wanted to say it, but he didn't know where to start. He tried to organize the language, and no one urged him, all patiently waiting for him to continue.

"Today at dinner, I saw a man. He used to be a guest at the House of the Weeping Dead...... It stands to reason that there were so many guests, I must not remember exactly, but he was one of the few humans, and I was slightly more impressed. Naturally, after a long time, it was almost forgotten. ”

"The rivers and lakes are really small," Dai Luan sighed, "but it's really a coincidence." ”

"Yes, it's a coincidence. What's more, I finally realized today that he has a monster aura on him, which is somewhat similar to Liangqiu. But I didn't remember to see Liang Qiu alone, but when I saw him again, I finally remembered that kind of demonic aura again. ”

"Me?" Mu Wan raised his sleeve and sniffed, "Do I have demonic energy on me?" ”

"Shikigami," he said, "is a tengu." ”

"Heaven, tengu ......" Mu Wan suddenly stood up, and even shook the table, "It's actually ......"

"Is it actually your relative?" Shanhai looked up at her, also a little surprised.

"No...... How can I say that," she sat down slowly, "Actually, since my mother's ancestors made a contract with the Tengu clan more than 500 years ago, there should be many descendants to this day. But now, there are still a few people who can enslave the tengu. Although the pattern has not yet been discovered, it may be ...... It's talent, right? My brother has no qualifications, and he only holds a half-position in the imperial court. Maybe the person you're talking about doesn't have anything to do with me anymore. ”

"yes."

"What's his name?"

"He didn't say his name, only his surname was Tang."

Shanhai thought for a moment: "Tang family? Not necessarily...... There are also quite a few surnames of Tang. ”

"I don't know. By the way, Liang Qiu, let me ask you, can your tengu become a human? ”

Mu Wan's expression was a little subtle, which surprised Shi Wuqi.

“…… What are you thinking about what you have and what you don't have, how is this possible. Doesn't it take more than a thousand years for ordinary goblins to cultivate to adulthood? The Tengu clan had never seen such an example, and even if it was a human-like spell, they wouldn't. ”

"That's weird," Shi Wuqi frowned, "That Shanhai, what kind of spell can make a monster temporarily turn into a human form?" ”

"Obstacles, obstacles, ......?"

Shi Wuqi shook his head.

"It's not a trick, I'm sure it must be a tengu...... That day, he came with an eccentric child. If I hadn't seen the kid at the dinner table, I wouldn't have remembered it. ”

"Huh?"

"The boy looked very abnormal, and his face was as pale as if he were sick. I couldn't see a man or a woman, and my hair was messy, like a wandering child. He didn't speak, his gaze was very strange, and one hand was broken, revealing Bai Sensen's bones. ”

"This, here to see Langzhong," Dai Luan shouted, "what's the use of looking for you?" ”

"The boy is a monster," he said, "I thought the boy was wounded, and they came to treat the wound, but the man said he could grow up, but he came to me, and heard that I could touch human bones." So I grossed my grip and couldn't see through anything, except that he was a youkai of the tengu. ”

"Impossible! Could it be that you are mistaken? Could he be some other youkai? ”

"It must be a tengu." Shi Wu renounces the assertion.

"If there are other youkai who can turn into people, then there are too many, and Tengu really can't," Yamakai said, "but ...... It's not that there is no way to transform into a human form. ”

His voice grew lower, as if he was hesitant about to say something, or...... Something else. They all looked at him directly, which made Shan Hai can't help but feel a little flustered.

"Many yokai have such a trait. If they eat cows, they become cows. If you eat a tiger, you can become a tiger, and if you eat it, you can become a tiger...... Well, and it has to be a huge number. ”

“……”

Man-eating monsters are not uncommon. But the man-eating youkai is accompanied by a person, which is much weirder.

"So, what happened?" Dai Luan asked.

As if he hadn't received a satisfactory answer, he shook his head and left. I haven't heard from him since. ”

"If he really let the tengu go...... This, this is really unreasonable, unconscionable, deviant! ”

Mu Wan cursed, the first time they saw her angry like this, they didn't dare to say anything. In fact, Shanhai can understand this mood very well, and for a chef, killing people with a cooking knife is indeed outrageous.

"Maybe it's eating the bad guys?" Dai Luan tried to comfort her.

"It's not a problem," she was still emotionally excited, "feeding the gods with human flesh...... Can you understand? I'm not talking about whether bad people should be eaten or not, but about the thing itself...... It's problematic! ”

As for what was wrong, she stuck in her throat and couldn't speak. In reality, the matter itself is truly unspeakable. They can all understand this strange feeling. In other words, there are certain things called conscience, morality, or other things that are sufficient principles that are the bottom line of human beings, and they feel that such things are "wrong."

"If I can see him, I will definitely teach him a good lesson...... It's really a shame to lose blood. ”

"But that day dog must be very difficult," Yamakai sighed, "The monsters that have eaten people are very difficult to deal with." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse and worse, Dai Luan searched her stomach to find other topics.

"That's the day we see in the north during the day, can we go and see it tomorrow? Maybe it has something to do with youkai......"

Mu Wan, who was disgusted by the previous topic, already felt a little indifferent to this matter. Anyway, it's over, and if Shanhai insists on going, it can only be tomorrow. But at this time, Shi Wuqi thought of something. So he told them all the discussion he had heard at the next table during the day.

"It must have been a youkai. We'll check it out tomorrow morning. ”

After Shanhai finished speaking, Mu Wan just didn't say a word. The only monster she knew and could think of to resist the fire was that one.

She had the right idea.

Halfway through the fourth watch, in the night of Hesse, the red-clothed monster was sitting on the roof, watching the cat and mouse play.

There is one mouse and two cats. They were all girls, and their steps were light and silent, and they did not disturb the silent night at all.

When they reached a wider area, the girl who was running ahead stopped. She wore a long dress with white sleeves, the cuffs and placket were dark green, and the hem of the dress was splashed with ink spots that were free and easy. If you look closely, it's just a mottled dark green embellishment.

The other two girls were a little younger than her. A pink and white gauze dress, the material is admittedly very luxurious, suitable for the kind of cumbersome and cumbersome brocade clothes. But the one on her body was cut to a light and close fit, which was completely different from the usual pattern of the silk. The other girl's clothes were similar to hers, but they were pale and white. When they all stopped, they set the two instruments in front of them.

There should be no musical instruments in the city.

"Two little sisters, aren't you afraid of violating local laws?"

They didn't pay attention, just stared at her quietly, and there was not the slightest meaning in their eyes that could be read.

"You ......"

As soon as the words fell, the girl in Tsing Yi raised her fingertips lightly, and she didn't know what secret weapon was coming. She turned her face away in an instant, and after two breaths, she still felt a hot pain. The weapon was embedded in the pillar on her side, and she was sure she hadn't been hit. But when I touched my face, the warm blood and stinging pain were so real. She glanced sideways slightly, and saw the bright moonlight gliding through the sky in the moonlight.

Line......?

She drew her sword, and the sharp blade slashed through it, but instead of breaking, the line played a chilling, piercing rhythm. The thread was too strong, and when she turned her head, she immediately found that it was actually a string sent by the woman in Tsing Yi. Before she could guess the other party's intentions, the woman in pink with the pipa stepped lightly on the strings, and jumped behind her in three or two steps, steady and quiet.

The next moment, the sound of the sword unsheathed burst into her ears - the upper end of the lute was actually a sword hilt, Sen Han's sword fell from the sky, she retracted the sword with her hand, and if she was one step too late, her face would be cut.

Cats who are difficult to maneuver.

The blades were connected, and before the woman in Tsing Yi could make the next move, the vision of several people exploded red.

Falling from the sky.

They each took a few steps back, and the small pieces of flint completely separated the three of them. In the middle of this triangular layout, the red-clothed black-haired monster appeared at some point. He looked at the two young girls and raised his voice.

"Can you two ...... Give me a face for impermanence? ”

The two looked at each other, but still did not speak. The girl in green froze there, but she still raised her sword alertly and pointed it at his back. Immortal Moon Jun didn't look back, but just raised his hand and said:

"If you don't go, you won't have a chance."

“…… Xie Gongzi helped. ”

She was silent for a long time, then turned around and retired into the night.

But the rat will inevitably die after all.
