Chapter 267: Xia Mu's Past
There was a breeze in the night, and the foliage swayed gently, but because it was a moonless night, the foliage did not leave a shadow on the ground.
Xia Mu looked at the white dog's eyes, and then stopped.
Even if you dodge, just let the bugs eat you.
Stop, and maybe there's a glimmer of life.
"Xia Mu, those insects have spiritual power, right?"
The white dog stood not far in front of Xia Mu, looked at Xia Mu, and said to him.
"Hmmm......"
Xia Mu replied.
The white dog lowered his head, as if thinking about something, and this state only lasted for a few seconds.
But in Xia Mu's opinion, it is still very long.
"Xiaobai, are you thinking about anything?"
Xia Mu looked at the white dog and asked it.
The white dog slowly raised his head, and his eyes met Xia Mu's: "Master, do you remember a long time ago, when you were about five or six years old, Grandpa Liu took us out to sea to fish and met water ghosts?" ”
"I don't remember, is there really such a thing?"
Xia Mu frowned, and then replied.
"Also, it's so dangerous to go out to sea to fish, why did Grandpa Liu take us with him?"
Xia Mu continued.
"There's one thing, Grandpa Liu hasn't told you all this time, probably because he's afraid you'll be sad......"
The white dog looked at Xia Mu and said with a dim gaze, with a trace of unbearability in his eyes.
"What's the matter?"
Xia Mu was a little puzzled by the white dog's nonsense.
"It's about your background."
After the white dog finished speaking, he lay down on the ground, apparently planning to tell a long story.
Xia Mu took a picture of the insects that climbed up his neck again, and the moment the insects landed, they were directly motionless and completely dead.
The white dog spoke slowly about the incident.
"Xia Mu, you have lived on an island since you were a child, that island is called Lingfeng Island, it used to be a small island where many people sit, but now there is probably no one living there......"
"Why?"
Xia Mu interrupted the white dog's words and asked it.
Lingfeng Island is not very far from Grandpa Liu's house, and if you row a small boat, you can get there in about an hour, but Grandpa Liu has never taken Xia Mu to rest on that island.
For a small island that he knew, Xia Mu was still a little interested.
"There used to be a shrine on Reikaze Island, and the deity enshrined in it was called Ape God, which was rumored to be a god who could call wind and rain, and this is also true.
Under the protection of that god, the islanders of Reikaze Island were able to live a good life, and even though the land of Reikaze Island was very barren, the crops could be harvested well every year because of the wind, rain and sunshine.
The people of Reikaze Island were also able to live a life of abundance and food there.
And all of this, because of you, came to an abrupt end! ”
When the white dog said this, he paused for a short time, and in this short pause, the white dog looked at Xia Mu carefully, wanting to know if he could withstand such a truth.
After the centipede was killed by Jiaotu, the gray-yellow toad with a slender body and the grasshopper with three eyes jumped out together.
The speed of the two insects was very fast, and almost with a slight force on their hind legs, their bodies flew directly into the air.
Gu Huoniao slapped the insects that kept crawling towards her head with her hand, and her attention was also distracted, and the grasshopper with three eyes flashed a ghostly light in its eyes, and a "clucking" sound came out of its mouth.
The gray-yellow toad with a slender body jumped towards the bird.
The dog god almost pulled out his knife at that moment, the speed of the toad is very fast, and the body is slender, and the target is relatively few, but for a knife monster of the level of the dog god, he can still easily use his own knife to cut the toad in half.
"Giggles!"
The grasshopper that landed on the branch of a tree high made such a sound again.
The toad was in mid-air, suddenly stopped, and then leaned to the side.
The knife in the hand of the dog god, Han Guang flashed......
"How is it possible, since you have dodged, it is as if you have seen through the trajectory of my knife......
The heart of the dog god froze, he never thought that such a low-level monster could dodge the blow of his confidence.
The toad landed on the ground not very far away, its body lying on its stomach, its slender and powerful legs jumping tightly, ready to attack again at any moment.
"Gu Huoniao, you should evacuate the battlefield first, it is important to deal with those bugs on your body first, while fighting, it is easy to make mistakes while stopping those bugs!"
The dog god looked at Gu Yu Bird with extremely serious eyes and said to her.
"Hmm."
The bird nodded, spread its wings, and flew into the night sky.
"Giggle......
The grasshopper that landed on the branch of the tree made such a sound with its mouth.
The toad jumped up at the bird that flew into the sky.
The dog god's legs slammed hard, and the knife in his hand tightened: "Don't succeed!" ”
Inugami appeared between the toad and the bird, holding the knife horizontally and holding it at chest level.
"I'm here, rest and touch my aunt to get a single hair of the bird!"
……
The breeze rustled the branches and leaves of the trees, but this sound only accentuated the silence of the night.
Xia Mu and the white dog were far away from the position where the dog god and them were fighting, so there was no way for the sound over there to reach this side.
"Lingfeng Island has become what it is now, because of me?"
Xia Mu's expression was very serious and serious, and at this time, he didn't have the slightest intention of joking.
"Hmm."
The white dog moved closer to Xia Mu again, and finally simply lay down on Xia Mu's side, put his head on Xia Mu's shoes, and the white dog's thoughts returned to Lingfeng Island again.
"That god is indeed very effective, this is a view that all the islanders on Reikaze Island agree on.
And the only thing that makes the islanders feel a little sad is that the god is not selfless, and while the god brings the right wind and rain to Lingfeng Island, he also has a request!
- Every time the moon is full, the deity comes to the shrine, and the islanders need to select young and beautiful women to bring to the shrine......
At first, the islanders did not accept this, and resisted several times. The result of the revolt is the threat of starvation and death.
The first woman to be sent was Chunlou's mother, that is, the woman in Chunyu Street, who was a little older, but had exquisite makeup and graceful and generous, and the women in her shop were basically all women from Lingfeng Island. ”
"How can you agree to this kind of thing, is it forced?"
Xia Mu interrupted the white dog's words and asked him.
"No, she did it voluntarily! The revolt of the islanders had angered the god, and the gods had punished him, and the sun was scorching every day in the sky, the land was cracking, the fresh water was dried up, and the islanders were dying of thirst.
It was under such circumstances that she proposed that she would like to go to the shrine on the night of the full moon. ”
"Ah...... It turned out to be such a woman......"
Xia Mu has been to Chunyu Street, and naturally she has also seen the mother of Chunlou.
It is a woman who is very old, but there is no trace of dislike, on the contrary, that woman is a woman who makes people feel very interesting and comfortable.
"After Chunlou's mother was the first to go, the other women on the island.
Influenced by her.
I started going to the shrine on the night of the full moon.,If there's a reason for doing so.。
That's for the islanders to live well.
Under such circumstances, more and more women went to the shrine either voluntarily or forcedly.
In the end, the one who didn't go was Xia Mu's house.
Xia Mu's parents are very enlightened parents, but in that era, there is still no doubt about the existence of the ape god, after all, there are too many people who have seen the ape god.
Moreover, the changes in the wind and rain on Reikaze Island also confirm the authenticity of the ape god's regulations.
Before the night came, Xia Mu's parents took Xia Mu to the shrine together, wanting to know more about whether the ape god was a real god.
After all, how could a true god make such an unreasonable request?
The ape god was waiting at the shrine early.
It looks like a standing ape, with only a little more hair than a human, and other parts that are not very complete.
The ape god's body was faintly hidden in the darkness, and he could only be seen by the faint light.
Such a faint light made the ape god's body look blurry: 'There are actually three people here!' ’
There was a little anger in the ape god's voice.
'Monkey! ’
Xia Mu, who was held in his father's arms, pointed to the ape god and shouted loudly.
At that time, Xia Mu was still very young, probably just learning to walk, but when he learned to speak and distinguish things around him, Xia Mu was much earlier than other children.
'Xia Mu, don't be disrespectful to the gods~'
Standing side by side with Xia Mu's father, the bright-looking mother gently touched Xia Mu's head and said softly.
'Gods, I'm sorry that the child is still young......
Before the mother's words were finished, the ape god, who was already angry, directly exuded a terrifying aura, and the expression on his face became hideous: "I'm not a monkey, I'm an ape god!" Ape God!! ’
'Run! ’
Xia Mu's father protected his wife with his arm, and then led them to the outside of the shrine.
Such an ape god is not a god at all. The gods don't look like that.
'Monkey! ’
Xia Mu struggled out of his father's hands and walked towards the ape god, Xia Mu, who had just learned to walk, was not very stable when he walked, and his body was crooked.
'Xia Mu, come back soon......'
Xia Mu's father ran towards Xia Mu, and at this time, the ape god had already arrived in front of Xia Mu.
The tail behind him wrapped around Xia Mu's neck.
Ape doesn't have a tail, but a monkey has a tail, so it's just a monkey who has gained some spiritual power through cultivation.
Monkeys are far behind apes.
That's probably why it calls itself the god of the apes.
When the monkey's tail touched Xia Mu's neck, the monkey's body suddenly stopped moving.
And the black gas on the monkey's body gradually drifted out of its body and dispersed into the air.
Soon, the monkey became a monkey that was no different from a normal monkey. ”
The white dog looked at Xia Mu and said slowly.
"In the time that followed, I went to inquire about you, and that ability, known as exorcism, is a spell that dispels the spiritual power in the body of a youkai. This kind of spell is not acquired through cultivation, but is obtained by innate bloodline and one's own physique. ”
The white dog continued.
Xia Mu didn't listen to these words behind the white dog, because at this time, what Xia Mu wanted to know was not these!
"When you were five or six years old, Grandpa Liu took us out to sea to fish and met a water ghost, and it was precisely because you used this spell that you dispersed the aura in the water ghost's body, thus saving Grandpa Liu's ......"
The white dog said hurriedly.
"Xiaobai, don't hide it from me, my parents, what is the reason...... And the ...... who left me"
Xia Mu looked at the white dog and asked with a serious gaze.
At this time, Xia Mu's eyes had a kind of perseverance, which looked like a burning power.
"You have turned the ape god into an ordinary monkey, and the land of Reikaze Island is barren, and the people are gradually unable to survive.
The islanders eventually vented their anger on your family.
Your parents hid the fact that you had dispersed the spirit of the ape god that day, and they resisted all the anger themselves.
And you are entrusted to an islander who can be trusted, that is, Grandpa Liu. ”
The white dog looked down at the ground, and when he said these words, the white dog didn't dare to look at Xia Mu.
Because, I don't want to see Xia Mu sad.
"I ...... Got it......"
Xia Mu raised his head and looked at the sky, it was pitch black, but in the black curtain-like sky, a faint star faintly appeared in the eastern corner.
- Daystar!
On a black night, the wind blows and the leaves rustle.
Xia Mu's clothes and hair were also gently stroked by the breeze: "They are really great!" ”
……
The dog god blocked the slender toad, and the bird was able to fly high into the air, already so high that the wingless creatures could not reach it.
In such a place, Gu Shou Bird can finally deal with the hateful insects that crawl on her body.
The number of insects is huge, and all the bird can do is keep slapping down the insects that crawl up to its neck, but those insects just fell down, and immediately flapped their wings and flew to the bird's body.
It's annoying.
"What a tough bunch of guys......"
Gu Xue said to herself, then drew her umbrella sword and took a worm that was about to fly over her body.
Pierce!
On the tip of the steel umbrella with a faint cold light, a very small insect, like a black spot, was quietly pierced through its body...... Take a hundred plating, and read the latest chapter of "Onmyoji-style God Don't Cry Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
