Chapter 8: Ibuki
Snow, falling quietly.
The entire town of Qinghe is covered with snow, and as far as the eye can see, it is a scene of silver light.
"Since it's snowing, I don't know if the kindergarten kids have gone to school......"
When Chen Yan got up, he said with a sad face.
Chen Yan is still a teacher in the kindergarten in Qinghe Town, so he still needs to go to class.
"Are you building a snowman?"
Chen Yan came to the yard with his cup and toothbrush, and when he was about to brush his teeth, he saw Zashiki boy and Yingcao squatting on the snow and building snowmen.
"Well, little master Chen, you are up."
Zashiki said.
Zashiki and Yingcao had not built a snowman, and at this time they had not even made the body of the snow boy. I guess even if you actually build a finished snowman, it's a failure.
"Yes, if I had known that it would be snowing today, I would have informed the kindergarten children that they would have taken a holiday. Then I can rest for the rest of the day......"
Chen Yan said while brushing his teeth. The voice was a little indistinct, but I could still hear what Chen Yan said.
"Let's go to kindergarten with you."
Yingcao said.
Yingcao and Zashiki used to go to school for a while in a kindergarten in the small town of Qinghe.
And I made a lot of friends.
At this time, Yingcao and Zashiki Boy should also miss the kindergarten in Qinghe Town.
"Are you going?"
"Hmm."
Yingcao nodded and said with Zashiki Boy.
"However, Li Xiaoxiu and Wang Hu are already in elementary school......
Chen Yan looked at Zashiki Boy and Yingcao and said to them.
"They're all no longer in Qinghe Town now, are they?"
Zashiki asked.
There is only one kindergarten in Qinghe Town, and there are no other schools, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools are only available in Luoying City. This is what everyone knows.
"I go to elementary school in Sakura City, but every Saturday and Sunday, they go back to Qinghe Town. We've grown a lot. ”
Chen Yan's toothbrush was placed on the washstand, and then he began to pour water into the basin.
Even in winter.
When everyone gets up in the morning, they all take cold water, probably because they are used to it, so they don't feel anything.
Yingcao and Zashiki Boy quickly built the snowman, and finally built the snowman when Chen Yi finished washing up and was about to go out. The snowman looks as expected, not very good-looking. However, the chubby snowman looks like it has a hint of cuteness.
……
Chen Yan took Yingcao and Zashiki to the school together, and the courtyard was quiet again.
The three-tailed fox hasn't gotten up yet.
The three-tailed fox is now working in a shroud shop, and the time he goes to work is slightly shorter than that of Chen Yan.
"Master, what are you thinking?"
Guan Hu looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.
After Chen Beibei and the others left, Chen Beibei's eyes kept falling on the snowman who was sitting on the boy and the snowman that Yingcao had built, and he never looked away. Obviously thinking about something.
"I'm thinking, it seems to have calmed down now and we have more time. Why don't you take advantage of this time to renovate the courtyard? ”
Chen Beibei looked at Guan Hu and said to her.
After completing the task of Shiranui, the function of courtyard construction has been activated.
But.
Because the days after that have been busy, I didn't care about the functions given in the system.
"Build a courtyard?"
Guan Hu looked at the snowflakes falling slowly in the sky in the yard, and the sound of snowflakes falling on the ground was extremely subtle: "Also, the three brothers and sisters who don't know the fire and jump must be very boring living in the courtyard." ”
Although the space in the courtyard is infinite, there are very few things in the courtyard.
This is something that Chen Beibei has known for a long time.
"Then let's go to the courtyard now."
Guan Hu said.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei replied.
The courtyard model is placed on the bedside table in Chen Beibei's room, which looks like a very precious cultural relic.
The details of the courtyard model in all aspects are ingenious. You can even see the inside room, cherry blossom trees, ponds, and forests through the window.
Chen Beibei found the function of courtyard construction in the system interface, and then selected Start.
"Ding, Onmyoji-sama, the courtyard construction function has been turned on, in the coming days. You can buy the items you need in the shop and decorate and transform the garden. ”
The system prompt sounded in Chen Beibei's mind.
However, the message prompted by the system made Chen Beibei still a little incomprehensible.
After all.
Chen Beibei is very familiar with the store in the system, and Chen Beibei also knows some of the goods in it.
In addition to the permanent onmyojutsu that Magatama can purchase, there are also a variety of talismans that can be purchased with gold.
As for the goods that decorate the courtyard, Chen Beibei has never seen them.
Could it be ......
Is it because after the courtyard building function is turned on, the system store has also been updated?
Chen Beibei clicked on the store's interface with curiosity.
Originally, after entering the store interface, you will directly enter the product display interface of Yin-Yang and Talismans.
However, this time is a little different from the previous ones.
This time, after clicking on the shop, two options pop up: [Spell Shop] and [Courtyard Shop].
Chen Beibei entered the magic shop first, and the goods in it were the same as before, still some yin and yang spells and talismans.
"It seems that the store has been updated, and I hope that those things in the courtyard shop can be purchased with gold."
Chen Beibei said with some joy.
Chen Beibei has actually accumulated a lot of gold coins in these years, and now that there are so many style gods by his side, Chen Beibei basically doesn't need to use gold coins to buy talismans to defend himself.
The only talismans that still need to be purchased are only some talismans for exorcism, town house, and healing.
Selling this kind of talisman can be regarded as Chen Beibei's main source of income.
Chen Beibei entered the courtyard store.
When he just came in, the interface of the courtyard store surprised Chen Beibei.
"Ah...... There are so many things! ”
Chen Beibei looked at the goods in the courtyard store and couldn't help but say.
A wide variety of décor, furniture, entertainment, and colorful picture scrolls.
[Lantern - 200 gold]
【Izakaya Cashier - 1000 Gold Coins】
【Izakaya wallpaper - 1000 gold coins】
[Long Table - 500 Coins]
[Long bench - 200 gold]
【Hot Spring Hostel Wallpaper - 2000 Gold Coins】
【Hot Spring Hotel Room Decoration Package - 10,000 Gold Coins】
……
The things in the store can be found almost as long as Chen Beibei can think of them.
And the style of those goods is all retro style from the Heiankyo period, and it looks gorgeous.
"Master, what do you see?"
Guan Hu looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.
At this time, Chen Beibei still looked very excited, and Guan Hu probably asked Chen Beibei curiously because of this.
"The construction function of the courtyard seems to be more powerful than I thought."
Chen Beibei said.
"Ding, Onmyoji-sama, you've browsed the courtyard shop, I wonder if you're satisfied with the items inside?"
[Dissatisfied], [Satisfied], [Very satisfied]
With the system prompt, three options appeared, which needed to be selected by Chen Beibei.
【Satisfied】
Chen Beibei chose the road.
"Ding, Onmyoji-sama, thank you for your choice. Next, in order for you and Shikigami to better use the courtyard building function, the system will open the entrance of the courtyard shop in the courtyard. ”
The system beep sounds again.
The entrance of the courtyard shop is open in the courtyard, and the meaning of this sentence has not yet been clarified by Chen Beibei.
But.
"Does that mean that the Shikigami will also be able to enter the courtyard shop?"
Chen Beibei thought secretly in his heart.
"Ding, the entrance to the courtyard shop has been opened, I hope Onmyoji-sama can have a pleasant experience."
After the system prompt sounded, Chen Beibei did not feel any changes.
"Master, master!"
The voice of the Hopping Sister came from the courtyard model, and it sounded as if something big had happened.
"Master, it's the voice of Sister Hopping, let's go to the courtyard and have a look."
Guan Hu said.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei nodded.
When Chen Beibei and Guan Hu had just entered the courtyard, the three brothers and sisters, Skipping the Fire, and Tu Bi, all surrounded them.
"Master, there seems to be an earthquake in the courtyard just now......"
Tu Bi said.
"No, no, it's not an earthquake, I saw a huge thing falling from the sky and falling in that direction......"
Sister Hopping said.
"I saw it too."
Shiranui said.
It can be seen that the Shikigami who live in the courtyard are very nervous, probably because they are afraid that something will happen to the courtyard and make them lose their residence again.
"Let's go and have a look."
Chen Beibei looked at the gods and said slowly.
Although Chen Beibei had already guessed that thing at this time, it should be the entrance of the courtyard store that the system had just opened.
However, Chen Beibei did not directly say what he thought.
After all.
Before seeing it with his own eyes, Chen Beibei himself could not be 100% sure of such a guess.
The flaming butterfly in Shiranui's hand flew in front of him, leading the way.
And the hopping sister is holding her zombie dog, jumping forward one by one. Although everyone is not as fast as the Flame Butterfly, because the Flame Butterfly will often stop and wait for them, it will still keep everyone from getting lost.
The flaming butterfly is heading in the direction of the west.
It was still morning, and the sun had just risen in the east, so it seemed that everyone was following their shadows.
"See, it looks like a big house......"
Zhihuo looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.
At this time, Chen Beibei had also seen the house in the distance.
"Didn't you have it before?"
Chen Beibei looked at Shiranui and asked her.
"I don't know too much, I don't usually come here......"
Shiranui replied.
"Master, that room didn't exist before."
Sister Hopping said.
Because my sister likes to play, she used to play almost everywhere.
Even a wilderness where there is nothing.
For the Hopping Sister, it is also a place worth exploring, after all, there is always the possibility of encountering unknown things in places that have not been before.
Chen Beibei followed Sister Hopping and walked towards the big house.
This time.
Chen Beibei still didn't know what was in the big house, but he could probably guess some.
"Is there anyone in there?"
Chen Beibei knocked on the door and asked.
"Yes, please come in."
A very lazy voice came from inside, sounding like a boy's voice.
But it's a little bit different.
In short, it's a rather strange voice, and it shouldn't be human. It may just be a habitual belief that everything that speaks is human. That's why I thought it was a boy's voice for the first time.
Chen Beibei pushed open the door.
Soon.
The scene inside made Chen Beibei a little shocked, because it was a huge shopping mall full of all kinds of goods.
It looks like it's just a big house, but the space inside seems to be much larger than the one you see outside.
"It seems that it is really the entrance to the courtyard store, and it looks completely no different from the real shopping mall."
Chen Beibei looked at the huge shopping mall in front of him and said with some surprise.
Although it is said to be a shopping mall, it is only full of countless goods, and there is no scene of people coming and going like the shopping mall outside.
It looks very deserted.
"Meow, I'm Ibuki~"
A white and yellow fat cat was lying at the cash register of the mall, the fat cat supported his head with one hand, and his eyes carefully looked at Chen Beibei and the gods who came in with Chen Beibei.
"If you want to buy something, you must bring enough money meow~, this meow does not accept credit meow......"
Fat Cat said.
Chen Beibei glanced at the fat cat, Chen Beibei never thought that the hated fat cat in the Onmyoji would appear here.
Every appearance of Ibuki means the beginning of the liver explosion of the itchy rats.
And it can be clearly felt that this hateful fat cat is luring himself to liver game with something. Every time I feel like this, I decide not to want those rewards.
But.
The itchy rats who are not angry still can't help but want to go to the liver, and even stay up late.
"Onmyoji, don't be lazy~"
When Chen Beibei first saw Ibuki, this sentence seemed to appear in his mind.
Those days when Ibuki was dominant, now that I think about it, it still makes people shiver a little.
"Hey, it can't be that you didn't bring any money, right? In that case, I'm going to close the door! ”
Ibuki saw what Chen Beibei had been thinking, so he guessed so.
"No, no, no...... We have money, so please tell us about the prices of these items. ”
Chen Beibei hurriedly said.
Ibuki still looks the same as the one in the Onmyoji, with a strange feeling that can see through people's hearts: "Follow me meow~"
