Chapter 22: The Story of the Three-Tailed Fox (1)

Life is a lifetime, and it will eventually return to loess.

Aunt Chunxue's life is over, leaving no daughter and no son.

All the rights and wrongs in her life have been buried deep in the soil with her corpse.

Maybe someone will remember her in the future, but none of this has anything to do with Aunt Chunxue......

When Chen Beibei came home from Aunt Chunxue, she had to pass by the river where she drowned before.

At that time, it was dusk, and the last rays of sunlight remained in the sky.

The golden sunset was sprinkled on the small town of Qinghe, on Chen Beibei's body, and on the river.

Chen Beibei saw that there were three people standing quietly by the river......

One of them is Aunt Chunxue, who has just been buried in the ground.

The other two, Chen Beibei has also seen, they were seen when they were in the old man's house before.

"It's all over before you die, right?"

A woman in white holding a spirit banner asked lightly.

Aunt Chunxue looked at the flowing water and nodded.

"Let's go......"

Chen Beibei looked at the three people and disappeared into his field of vision out of thin air.

made him wonder if he was wrong.

This world, ever since he met a kappa on the bridge, has been a little different.

Chen Beibei knew that he might not be able to live like before.

Commuting, getting off work, playing games, sleeping, eating......

Regular life, peaceful and calm, Chen Beibei likes this.

However, the youkai that appear in this world, and the messenger who extradited the souls of the dead.

made Chen Beibei feel that in some places that could not be seen, there might be more unknown things hidden, and they were hiding from the sight of human beings.

They live their lives in places unknown to humans. But now it is slowly appearing in the field of human vision.

……

Chen Beibei bought two boxed lunches and went to Aunt Chunxue's funeral by himself.

The kappa and the three-tailed fox are at home, so they shouldn't have eaten yet, right?

When I bought the lunch, the sun had completely set, and an owl was flying in front of Chen Beibei.

It ended up on a branch on the opposite side of the window of his rental house.

The branches swayed slightly, and the owl spread its wings and maintained its balance.

"Eat so fat, be careful that you can't fly......"

Chen Beibei looked at the owl and muttered to himself.

In the room, there was only a fiery red fox left, and Chen Beibei put down the lunch box in his hand.

"Where's the kappa?"

"A monk came today and took her away."

The three-tailed fox turned into a beautiful woman with a slightly lost expression.

Chen Beibei thought of the monk who appeared at Aunt Chunxue's funeral, and also remembered the way he talked to himself.

It must be him, right?

"Why didn't you stop him?"

"Master, that monk is not an ordinary person, I can't stop ......"

"And where has he been now?"

"Master, I don't know, you can't find him, Kappa did something he shouldn't have done. She can't continue to be your Shikigami anymore......"

At this time, Chen Beibei had already realized that Aunt Chunxue's death might be related to the kappa.

In fact, he should have realized it a long time ago, when Aunt Chunxue was crazy......

Chen Beibei never felt that the kappa would kill others.

After all, Kappa has always looked like a cute little girl.

"Master, the monk asked me to convey a few words to you. He said that the Onmyoji has his own responsibilities, and the good and evil of the yokai are only in a thought. As an onmyoji, you should guide youkai to goodness......"

The three-tailed fox did not follow the monk's original words, because in the monk's words, there was a meaning of blaming his master for not helping the kappa fulfill his long-cherished wish, which led to the death of Aunt Chunxue.

If you say that, you may fall into self-reproach for your master.

So the three-tailed fox chose some euphemistic words to describe the meaning of the monk's words.

……

Guide the youkai for good?

Is this the responsibility of the Onmyoji?

After Chen Beibei got the kappa and the three-tailed fox, he didn't care much about them.

When Kappa was promoted to the second level, the system gave Chen Beibei a hint.

Let Chen Beibei help Shishen realize his long-cherished wish.

Chen Beibei also tried to do it, but in the end he failed.

If he asked Chen Beibei to come once, Chen Beibei knew that he would definitely be able to untie the knot in the kappa. Turning into a kind youkai.

Because, at that time, Chen Beibei just worked hard, but he didn't really feel her feelings from the perspective of Kappa.

"Ding, the kappa disappears, the contract is terminated......"

Chen Beibei suddenly heard a system prompt, and the card with the kappa pattern appeared in Chen Beibei's mind.

The card slowly turned to ashes and disappeared into the Shikami.

"Master, please don't be sad, kappa...... It's just reincarnation......"

The three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and said softly.

The reincarnation of the soul of the dead who has lived in the river for ten years may also be a relief.

"Hopefully, she can find a good family. Find a mom who loves her. ”

……

Without kappa, life seems even more boring.

Chen Beibei's work is still doing the same, and the three-tailed fox still goes out every night.

The departure of the kappa made Chen Beibei begin to pay attention to the three-tailed fox.

Chen Beibei asked more than once why the three-tailed fox went out at night?

The three-tailed fox didn't answer.

Until one day, the three-tailed fox hurried back to the rental house in the middle of the night.

Chen Beibei hadn't slept yet, playing with his mobile phone in bed.

In the mouth of the three-tailed fox, he muttered: "He...... It's ...... him."

"Sister Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Beibei looked at the appearance of the three-tailed fox, and he was still more concerned.

The three-tailed fox did not continue to speak, turned into a fox, and hid in the bed.

Soft body, trembling slightly......

No matter how Chen Beibei asked her, she didn't open her mouth anymore.

At this time, Chen Beibei knew that it was time for him to find out the heart knot of the three-tailed fox.

What made her look for those men night after night?

What kind of person is he in her mouth?

Good and evil, a thought.

If you don't care about it, the three-tailed fox will be the same as the kappa, right?

Chen Beibei is still playing with his mobile phone, but in his heart, he has already thought about it a lot.

No matter what, Chen Beibei didn't want the three-tailed fox to leave him.

Since the three-tailed fox is reluctant to tell her own story, she also refuses to say who he is.

Then Chen Beibei will find it out by himself.

After all, as her master, you have to do something for her.

The next day, the three-tailed fox said early in the morning that he wanted to go out.

This has never happened before, Chen Beibei agreed, and then asked his boss for leave.

Following the three-tailed fox, Chen Beibei walked through alleys and finally came to a dilapidated house.

The houses are made of earthy yellow mud bricks and covered with cyan tiles.

Such houses are already rare......

Three-tailed fox, what is it here for?
