Chapter 247: Ice and Snow Fall
In the main hall of the house, there is a bamboo basket quietly, and on the ground is a puddle of water, which seeps out of the bamboo basket.
Because the fish in the old fisherman's hand reminded Xia Mu of the melancholy girl in a blue kimono he met during the day, Xia Mu said to the old fisherman: "This fish is very beautiful, let's raise it." ”
Hearing Xia Mu say this, the old fisherman gently placed the small blue fish on Xia Mu's palm.
Moist, sticky ......
The little blue fish didn't struggle, just stayed quietly in Xia Mu's hands, because it could understand the conversation between Xia Mu and the old fisherman, so it knew that it was not in danger for the time being.
Xia Mu hurriedly returned to his room with the blue fish in his hand, and then put the small fish and the mussel essence in the same wooden basin......
"Pepper Chart!"
"Mussel Spirit!"
The two blurted out almost at the same time, after all, after being separated, the mood of finding each other again was too exciting.
"Huh? What are you talking about? ”
Xia Mu looked at the small blue fish and mussels in the wooden basin and asked suspiciously.
When Xia Mu saw the faint halo emanating from the blue fish, he already knew that this blue fish was also a monster, so he didn't speak to it, and felt a little strange.
What made Xia Mu strange was the strange name that the two of them shouted.
Pepper chart? What is it...... There's no way to think of any plants, animals, or objects. Forehead...... It's not right, Xia Mu suddenly thought of an animal named Jiaotu.
To be precise, it is a divine beast, the ninth son of the dragon, whose name is Jiaotu, is a divine beast that resembles a snail mussel, and is often used as an iron ring beast on the gate or a stone drum blocking the door, in fact, it is still easy to see.
But the one who called out the pepper map, but the river mussel...... In other words, the little blue fish in front of you is the pepper map, emmmmmmm...... It's a little different, but maybe it's just a name.
"Mussel Spirit, are we ...... ...... your identity revealed? ”
Jiaotu quietly swam to the side of the river mussel, then lowered his voice and said in a low voice.
"Hmm."
The mussel spirit replied in a normal voice, compared to the voice of Jiaotu, the voice of the mussel essence was very loud.
Jiao Tu hit the mussel essence with his head, and said with hatred: "Beng Jing, are you stupid, and you are still saying so loudly!" ”
Mussel essence: "emmmmm......"
"Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, I'm a good person!"
Xia Mu made his position clear.
"Uh...... Good people don't say they're good, so you're a bad person! ”
Jiaotu suddenly turned into a human form, and then hugged the clam spirit, and jumped out of the window to escape, and broke the wooden railing of the window......
"It hurts!"
Jiaotu hugged his shoulder, but didn't stop.
"Xia Mu, do you want to chase?"
The white dog looked at Xia Mu and asked him.
"Forget it, if they want to run, we can't keep it."
……
Smoke went to hell.
Before, Smoke lied to Chen Beibei, in fact, she knew the whereabouts of the woman who liked people to collect human eyeballs.
Because, that woman, she, is in hell!
Smoked took a boat past the Blackwater River, and some ghosts followed her under the boat: "Smoke, you're back again." ”
It's a shadow ghost.
It looks exactly like the shadow of a human being.,It's a ghost that likes to follow humans.,It doesn't hurt humans.,The only interest is to see humans suddenly find an extra shadow.,Puzzled expressions laughed.。
"Well, do you know where the Hyakmu Ghost Sister is?"
Smoke asked.
"It's still in her old residence."
The Shadow Ghost replied.
"Oh, still living in that gloomy and damp basement, isn't she afraid of the collected eyeballs rotting?"
Smoke said lightly.
"That's, that's it, but it seems that Lord Hyakme-sama has a special way to preserve his eyeballs......"
As he spoke, the shadow ghost followed the ship on which he was sitting, moving slowly, and it looked exactly like the shadow of Smoke, but the shadow in hell would not be so clear.
After all, the light in hell is very dim.
The shadows are almost invisible.
When I got off the boat, I went to the other side of hell, and there was a door, of course, it was not a real door, it was a ghost named Oni.
If a human mistakenly uses this as a door, and if you walk in, you will go directly into the stomach of the ghost and be digested.
"Grandpa Ghost, hurry up and get out of the way, I still have something urgent."
Smoke looked at the door in front of him and said to it.
The door in front of him slowly turned into a large mouth...... The old man was very big with a kind smile on his face: "Smoke, I've been coming back a lot lately." ”
Xun hurriedly ran over, not because he was afraid, but because he was really in a hurry, after all, he had made an agreement with Chen Beibei that he would go to him tomorrow.
"Ghost bite grandpa, because ...... There's something. ”
Smoke shouted as he ran.
The ghost turned into a door again, muttering quietly, "It's better to have more things......
……
Walking through the door turned into a ghost, there is a town-like place not far away, but the architecture of this place is very different from that of humans.
There are all kinds of buildings, and they are a mixture of different eras.
Even the two houses connected together, one may be a square box type house made of reinforced concrete, the other is a cave inhabited by savages, of course, what caves on the Loess Plateau, Eskimos live in igloos, and Gothic buildings, there are houses of all ages in the Chinese style.
It's such a messy, undated place, and of course, dark, silent, deserted, are words that suit the town perfectly.
Very few people leave the house where they live and walk around.
So the bazaar or something, it doesn't exist.
Smoke had been to Hyakuki's house before, so he effortlessly found Hyakme's house in a mess of houses.
- An entrance, to be exact.
Instead of building a house in the ground, Hyakmu Oni dug a hole and built a dwelling place with an ancient atmosphere underground, which was large and empty, and there were some precious wines in it, as well as some eye-related paintings.
The entrance is uncovered, the type that is completely open, and only the ghosts who prefer to be alone in this town close their doors.
Some of the more self-closed ones will lock the door from the inside, or even not build a door at all. It's like a silkworm weaving a cocoon, trapping itself completely inside. If you need to go out, you can go straight through the wall, and if you don't have the ability to go through the wall, you need to tear down the wall a little and repair it later.
Walking through the stairs of the entrance, you will enter the home of the Hyakmu Ghost, Smoke and Hyakmu Ghost have actually always been in contact, and Smoke, as the ghost with the strongest detection ability in hell, can often grasp some information that Hyakmu Ghost does not know, at this time, you can have an equivalent exchange with Hyakmu Ghost.
"Sister Hyakmu Ghost, are you at home?"
Smoke shouted at the house of the Hyakmu Oni.
Hyakme's home is huge, huge, and after coming down the stairs, it is a large open space, which is the final destination that most people who come to visit Hyakmegi can reach.
On the four sides of this clearing, there are four doors, each with a pair of eyes, which seem to treat the door as if it were a body, completely alive.
As for what exactly is behind these four doors, the Hyakmu Ghost is behind that door, and the others don't know.
"It's smoked, come in, I'm in the kitchen."
Smoke is still relatively familiar with the home of the Hyakmu Ghost, after all, in the past, in order to ask the Hyakmu Ghost to tell him some information, he would often come to trouble her.
The kitchen was behind the door behind Smoke, who pushed the door open.
The room was filled with a fragrance that didn't belong to hell, just like the fragrance of stir-frying in the world, and a little choking.
"Sister Baimu Ghost, why are you still stir-frying by yourself?"
Smoke asked with some confusion.
Hyakmu Ghost is wearing a white and red witch costume with his back to smoke, and his snow-white hair is tied on the top of his head, which is a relatively mature hairstyle
Although the hair is white, the skin of the Hyakmu Oni is very good.
This can be seen from the little bit of neck exposed, on the white and tender neck, there is a bright red apron belt, and the contrast of colors makes the skin of the hundred-eyed ghost add a touch of red out of thin air.
"It's so boring in hell, and no one has come to me for a long time, so I thought I could cook my own food and pass the time."
The voice of the Hyakmu ghost sounded, and it was the voice of a mature woman.
Hyakme Oni holds the spatula in his hand and gently flips the contents of the pot, the wide sleeves will be very inconvenient when cooking, and the sleeves of the shrine maiden costume worn by Hyakme Oni are white, in order to prevent it from being soiled, Hyakme Oni deliberately tied up the cuffs with a thin red ribbon.
This will make the sleeves of the garment look bulging, in which case the wrists and fingers exposed outside the sleeves will appear more slender.
With his thin white fingers, the hundred-eyed ghost gently brushed the strands of messy hair on his forehead, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, by the way, today's smoke is the right time, today's stir-frying, but the best ingredients are selected, and we can taste it together after smoking, and see how my sister's cooking skills are." ”
"yes, okay."
Although Smoke is a ghost, it now uses the body of an owl, so you can still eat some food.
The main thing is that the enticing aroma of the stir-fry makes the smoke already a little drooling.
"Smoke, what did you want to inquire about when you came to me this time?"
Hyakmu asked as he stir-fried the contents of the pot.
In front of the Hyakmu Ghost, Smoke never lies, because it is easy to be recognized, and it is precisely because of this that Smoke can become friends with the Hyakmu Ghost.
"I want to know the location of the drunken boy......"
Smoke looked at the Hyakmu Ghost and said to her.
"Wine swallowing boy, he is the king of ghosts, have you prepared equivalent information to exchange with me?"
The hundred-eyed ghost said lightly.
Equivalent exchange, this is the principle, even if it is a friend, you can't break the rules, unless it is a hundred eyes ghost who takes the initiative to tell others, otherwise all information must be obtained using the principle of equivalent exchange, which everyone knows.
"Well, how about changing the position of the Ibaraki boy to the position of the wine swallowing boy?"
Smoke asked.
"The Ibaraki boy is in Rashomon, and Yaksha and Prajna are probably there at the moment, right?"
Hyakmu said.
"Sister Hyakmu Ghost, you...... How do you know? ”
Smoke is a bit difficult.
After all, this is the information she intends to exchange with the Hyakmu Ghost for the location of the drunken swallowing boy, and now that the Hyakmu Ghost already knows, then this information is no longer eligible for exchange.
"Because, I told the Yakshas. This world has been quiet for too long, and hell has been quiet for too long, this boring life is really boring, I really want to go out and breathe. ”
Hyakmu said slowly.
The dish in the pot seemed to have been fried, and the Hyakme took a plate and put it on the plate.
Green peppers, and some oval stuff cut into slices.
Green peppers belong to plants, and it is the first time I have seen it in hell, and when I first saw it, I inevitably felt a little unbelieving: "Sister Baimu ghost, that's ...... Green pepper......? ”
"Hmm."
The hundred-eyed ghost gently pinched a piece of green pepper with his index finger and thumb, and handed it to his mouth: "This is a very important information, in exchange!" ”
The people who can bring plants to hell probably won't be ordinary people. As for that important information, Smoke didn't ask, because it was the information exchanged by the customer of the Hyakumuki, and it was not to be inquired about.
Even if you ask, the Hyakmu Ghost will never leak it.
Hyakmu Oni asked Yaksha and Pranya to go to Ibaraki Boy, probably to let Ibaraki Boy cause chaos in the human world.
Chaos is hope!
At least there is more hope than this peaceful day with no end in sight, and the ghosts of hell are ready to move.
"Smoke, you're not happy?"
Hyakmu asked.
"No, I'm just wondering if there's any information I can get in exchange for the position of the drunken boy."
Smoke looked at Hyakmu and replied to her.
Hyakmu put the food in his hand on a table, and then took out a bottle of red wine and two glasses from the lattice on the wall.
"Smoke, come on, let's talk while we drink. I guess you haven't been here for more than 100 years, and it's just that people miss me a little. ”
Hyakmu pours the red wine into a glass, and the red wine looks like fresh blood, but it is really just ordinary wine.
Smoker picked up the cup and took a sip.
Hyakmu drank wine and ate the dishes on the plate, and did not use chopsticks, but always with two slender fingers.
Although it is obviously a very indecent behavior.
But it looks like it gives people a sense of course, as if in such an environment, they should eat like this, and the fingers of the Hyakmu Ghost are thin and white, and they are very gentle when they take the food, which looks like there will be a strange beauty.
Smoke was still frowning, thinking about the information that could be exchanged at an equivalent price.
Xun thought of Chen Beibei.
The information of the Onmyoji is exchanged for the information of the Ghost King Wine Swallowing Boy, which is actually a little loss, after all, the Onmyoji is more rare than the monster.
Especially in this day and age, the Onmyoji is almost completely gone......
Go to bed early~Good girl~
