Chapter 81: A Visit to Mikage Shrine
"Well, I'll go down first. Just call me again when you have something. β
After a short resuscitation dance, the Sakura Demon bowed slightly and retreated.
It's still the middle of the night, and it's the dead of night, and there is no other sound in the courtyard except for the insects and some of the grass and wood demons that have turned back to their bodies and inhabit the courtyard.
Qingming, who felt that his belly was already full, stopped eating and looked at Mayo: "So, now let's talk about what you did today." β
Qingming felt full, but the real world's stomach was still a bottomless pit.
She replied to Qingming as she chewed: "Ah, that." Half of the cost of the magic trick I did before was borne by another person. β
"Is that the guy codenamed Curacao?" Although they don't interfere in the affairs of the high-level politicians and their hostile affairs in their current world, it doesn't mean that Qingming doesn't know about the existence of this black-clothed organization.
"yes. Since she has been housed by youkai for a while, she must be a person with spiritual powers. Coupled with the fact that her obsession was too deep and attracted me, I responded to her. That's why I didn't lose my strength this time. Under the brisk tone of the real world, it was another person who paid the price of his life.
Qingming pondered for a moment and said, "Is she still alive?" β
"Hmm, is this one? Do you want to have a memory of her or a new her? "Mayo's movement of munching on snacks slowed down.
Qingming understood the meaning of the real world, thought about it, and said, "I see. Do you have a crush on her? β
"Uh-huh. There was some interest in the organization she was in. "I think that since she was able to form a relationship with youkai, it cannot be ruled out that other people in her organization also have the same relationship with youkai as her." β
"Speaking of which, what about the youkai that you only need to exorcise?" Speaking of youkai, Harumi suddenly remembered the task he had asked Mayo to complete.
"Youkai? This guy? Before Blackie devoured her, I asked Blackie to keep the monster. Mayo spread out his hand, and a dark green ball of light condensed in his palm.
Qingming directly turned on the spiritual vision, and saw that in the middle of the ball of light, there was a withered, lifeless tree, but the trunk was imprinted with a tree that looked like a human face.
"This is, the Human-Faced Tree!" Qingming was a little surprised.
It's just because there are almost no monsters like the human-faced tree in the present world, and this is still a big demon.
The best way for a human face tree to recognize its strength is to look at the faces that grow on their trunks. As long as you resemble a human, the higher your strength. As for how long it has been around, let's observe what age the human face growing from the trunk of the tree is.
And the human face tree sleeping in the dark green ball of light in the hands of the real world, on the trunk is a face with old crow's feet clearly visible from the corner of the closed eyes, which shows that this human face tree has existed for a long time, and its strength must be extraordinary, but I don't know why it has become this seriously injured appearance.
"yes. This guy's strength should be very strong, but I don't know why he has become this weakened appearance. Hawkers, Xiao Hei seems to know something. Because when devouring Curacao, Xiao Hei couldn't help but swallow a stream of energy on the human face tree, but he didn't expect the taste to be very bad. Reflecting on the message she had sent to her from the evil of this life on her way home, Mayo added:
"Xiao Hei said that although the smell was delicious, when it reached his mouth, it was as fishy and rotten as a dead fish that had been spoiled for a long time, and he said that he didn't want to eat anymore recently."
β...... That's really bitter about it. The corners of Qingming's eyes twitched slightly.
Does he also want to thank the unknown energy that Xiao Hei swallowed made him lose his appetite?
Otherwise, he felt that what he might have seen was no longer an intact human-faced tree.
"Well, it's a good thing for me that Xiao Hei has no appetite." The real world said that without the evil of this world, she can share her spiritual power with herself, and she can be a hundred times more energetic every day!
"Ahem. When will Curacao be able to reshape the body to finish? Qingming coughed lightly and brought the topic back.
Mayo thought for a while: "When Xiao Hei has an appetite again, she will probably be metabolized by Xiao Hei." β
Qingming: "......"
He retracted the bitter words of Xiao Hei.
Such a headstrong guy is not bitter at all.
"Ah, by the way, brother, over there at the Mikage Shrine, when are we going to visit?" Mayo suddenly remembered this important matter.
"It's the middle of the night, and it's not good to disturb people." Qingming looked at the sky and guessed the current time.
"Do you want to spread the word now? Although Nanabu Momozono is a human land god and needs to sleep, the two inhuman gods who are Mikage Shrine don't need to, right? Mayo suggested.
She actually wanted to solve this matter that had been choking in her throat as soon as possible, and then she could separate her mind from other trivial matters.
"That's right. If you visit suddenly, it is rude. Qingming sighed helplessly and pulled out a blank piece of paper from his sleeve.
Mayo stood up and brought the graphite, brushes, and inkstones that were placed in the cupboard to help Qingming study ink.
Qingming dipped a brush in ink, wrote a prayer on the spread of white paper, and then began to fold the white paper in half, folding a square piece of paper into a three-dimensional small paper figure.
"That's it." After the last step of the spell, a new little paper man-like god was baked.
Qingming let go of the little paper figure, and the little paper figure stood on the table by himself, and stretched his limbs with his miniature little hands.
"Go ahead and bring the letter to the Mikage Shrine. If the human land god isn't there, leave it to Shikigami at Mikage Shrine. Qingming commanded, and the little paper man's very humane Chong Qingming nodded his little head, took off on the spot, and flew into the dark night sky.
......
Since returning from Mt. Tengu, Nanao Taoyuan has become more motivated about the various businesses of the land god.
Today is also a day of active work as a land god.
Nana Momozono combed her long hair and opened the door of her room with satisfaction.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Hu Che and Ghost Che holding fresh ingredients in the corridor, constantly busy.
"What, what is this for?" Nana Momozono didn't know why, so she followed Hu Che and Oni Che to the kitchen and saw Ba Wei, who was incarnated as a chef.
Ba Wei was wearing an apron, still holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and fresh ingredients were cooking in the pot, and when he heard Nana Taoyuan's words, he glared back at her: "It's not that friend you don't know when you're going to visit the shrine with her amazing brother!" β
"Huh? Friends to make? Amazing brother? Nana Momozono crossed three crow dots on her head.
"Lord Nanasheng, it's the legendary Qingming Gong, who sent a message to the paper-man god in the middle of the night last night."
Two small gods with strange masks explained, and handed her a prayer note written in fine agarwood ink.
Nana Taoyuan was puzzled, took the post and looked at it.
If she was still confused before seeing the name of the person who sent the prayer post, then when she saw the name of the person who wrote the prayer post, Nana Taoyuan was completely surprised.
βοΌοΌοΌβ She shook excitedly with her hand holding the prayer post, "Qing, Qing, Qing, Abe Qingming!! β
The last note is raised several keys.
