In the huge picture scroll with many colors, a fat yellow and white cat is lying lazily.

If you don't look closely.

You must think that the fat cat was originally just a cat in the picture scroll.

"Onmyoji, you've probably heard of Shiranui, right? She's a beautiful monster meow......"

The fat cat's eyes rolled and looked at Chen Beibei.

"Hmm."

Chen Beibei nodded.

"Song Ji Ah Li is the real ignorant fire meow, but those people don't know it yet.

Or rather.

At that time, the singer Ah Li was indeed a human being.

People's voices for Ah Li are getting louder and louder, and Ah Li's name has spread throughout Fusang.

Even the daimyo once secretly disguised himself to enjoy Ah Li's performance.

But.

Such a good life didn't last long, I don't know when it started, but some people in Yoshiwara began to say that the singer Ah Li was a monster who didn't know the fire.

Such rumors.

Along with Ah Li's fame, it spread farther and farther, and gradually became believed by people.

Because.

The beauty of Ah Li is beyond their understanding. They couldn't explain how there could be such a beautiful woman in the world, and how could there be such an amazing song and dance performance.

Ah Li is a monster!

This is an explanation for them, and it is an innate human habit to explain things that they cannot understand. ”

Shiranui is still looking at the geisha hall wallpaper stupidly, and the pictures on the wallpaper, along with Ibuki's story, make Shiranui deeply fall into the memory of the past.

Memory is a strange thing that makes what was once good better and what was once painful less painful.

So.

Memories are always desirable.

"People quickly decided that the singer Ah Li was ignorant of fire, and the entire Yoshiwara people went to the Liren Pavilion together.

This was the first time they had arrived at the Liren Pavilion.

This place has always been a mysterious place for these ordinary rich and noble people.

The beauty of the Liren Pavilion is the same as that of the singer Ah Li, which makes people feel incredible.

But.

As for how beautiful the Liren Pavilion is, no one actually knows, because the real Liren Pavilion has been completely burned down at that time.

Singer Ah Li turned into a big monster that night.

The raging flames burned the entire people on the outlying islands along with the Liren Pavilion to ashes.

None survived, oh...... Wrong......

There was an onmyoji named Yoshishin Kamo who survived that fire.

But.

After that, no one saw Yoshishin Kamo again, probably living a reclusive life. ”

"The Liren Pavilion has been burned to ashes?"

Chen Beibei looked at the fat cat and asked him.

Chen Beibei had been to Jiyuan Island before, and was fortunate to see the appearance of the Liren Pavilion.

The Pavilion of the Leaves is like a beautiful picture scroll from the hands of the heavens.

Wall.

Pillar.

Counters, tables, chairs......

All of them interact with each other in their own brilliant colors to create a breathtaking and gorgeous scene.

It was precisely because Chen Beibei had seen the Liren Pavilion that he asked Ibuki like this.

"Well, the people who went to the Liren Pavilion were burned to death, and of course the Liren Pavilion was also burned down."

Ibuki replied.

There was a natural feeling in Ibuki's tone, and he also glanced at Chen Beibei.

I guess I think.

Chen Beibei, as an onmyoji, is really stupid to ask such a question.

The legend of Shiranui.

Chen Beibei is very familiar, and he himself has told Chen Beibei about it.

Those who were deceived by Lord Ota, the lord of Yoshiwara Castle, have completely lost their minds.

They want to kill Ali and Yoshishin Kamo.

It was at that time that Ah Li became ignorant of fire and burned everyone to death.

The fire on the outlying island reached into the sky.

It was a desperate sight, and all those in the Pavilion were burned to death.

Kamo Yoshishin only survived because he was pushed into the sea by Shiranui before the fire spread.

"Ah, what about the Leaver Pavilion I saw...... It can't be a fake......"

Chen Beibei only realized this at this time.

When I was in Yoshiwara, I was too eager to see the scene of the Liren Pavilion, so I ignored such an obvious thing.

Such a big fire.

How could it be that the Pavilion of the Leavers was not burned down?

"The people who have seen the appearance of the Pavilion have all died. Including Hemao Yixin, even if he is an onmyoji, he can't get rid of the meow of the cycle of life and death. After so many years, the real appearance of Liren Pavilion has become a kind of mystery. ”

The fat cat got out of the geisha hall wallpaper, then stretched out his little chubby paws, knocked a few times on the geisha hall wallpaper, and continued: "This geisha hall wallpaper is made by the ghost of a noble painter who has seen the Liren Pavilion, and uses 'dark' to completely imitate the appearance of the Liren Pavilion. Now you know why this geisha hall wallpaper is sold so expensive, right? ”

Ibuki's words, though, sound plausible.

But.

The tone of his speech always makes people feel like he is cheating.

"Can ghosts draw too?"

Chen Beibei looked at Ibuki and asked him.

"Are you really an Onmyoji? When a person dies, he becomes a ghost and goes to hell, where he is managed by a large youkai called Enma. ”

"I know that."

Chen Beibei looked at Ibuki and said to him.

"There is a substance in hell called 'dark', which is an extreme substance that only exists in hell. Darkness is able to absorb the yin energy of hell and turn into an unconscious substance that can move. Ghosts are able to craft all sorts of things with darkness, and at least half of the items you'll see here are made with the substance of darkness. ”

Ibuki looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

"How do you use this geisha hall wallpaper?"

Chen Beibei looked at Ibuki and asked him.

The price of the geisha hall wallpaper is 100,000 gold coins, so everything needs to be asked.

Otherwise.

When the time comes, if there is any problem with buying it back, looking at the appearance of Ibuki, a profiteer, he will definitely not be responsible.

"'Darkness' is a kind of material meow that can move, and these 'darkness' are made by the artist to look like a pavilion of departing people. All you need to do is bring back the geisha hall wallpaper, and then unseal it in the room, and the 'darkness' inside will automatically attach to the house, forming a scene exactly like the Leaver's Pavilion. ”

Ibuki looked at Chen Beibei and patiently explained. It can be seen that Ibuki is very eager to sell the geisha hall wallpaper as a product.

"Okay then, I'll buy it."

Chen Beibei said.

"The host ,......"

I didn't know that when I heard Chen Beibei's voice, I couldn't help but call Chen Beibei.

Chen Beibei turned his head to look at Shiranhuo, who slowly opened his mouth and said, "Do you really want to buy it?" It's so expensive......"

"Hmm."

Chen Beibei nodded firmly.

Shiranui's obsession with this geisha hall wallpaper is deep, deep.

Chen Beibei could clearly feel that Shiranuihuo's desire for this commodity.

So.

Even though the price of the geisha hall wallpaper was very expensive, Chen Beibei still decided to buy it.

"If you have gold coins, you can slowly earn them back in the future, it doesn't matter."

After Chen Beibei finished speaking, he directly paid 100,000 gold coins to Ibuki.

"I'll help you pack the geisha hall wallpaper in the box, and when you go back, you only need to tear up the seal on the box. You can directly turn the room into a pavilion. ”

Ibuki said as he put the geisha hall wallpaper into the box.

Ibuki didn't touch the geisha hall wallpaper.

The geisha hall wallpaper began to turn into a kind of mist-like thing, which appeared to be made up of very fine grains, and it was originally a very large picture scroll. Now it's all in a palm-sized ancient wooden box.

Chen Beibei then looked at his gold coin balance.

"Notice of Balance Change: Onmyoji-sama, you spent a total of 100,000 gold coins to buy a Geisha Hall wallpaper at the Ibuki Shop.

210,000 gold remaining"

Seeing that his gold coins had suddenly decreased so much, Chen Beibei was still a little heartbroken.

But.

Thinking of the happy appearance of not knowing the fire when the house became the appearance of the Liren Pavilion, Chen Beibei couldn't help but be happy.

"I don't know the fire, let's go find the three brothers and sisters now."

Chen Beibei looked at Zhihuo and said to her.

The three siblings have long since disappeared into the mall full of goods and shelves because they went to pick out the products they liked.

"Hmm."

Shiranui replied.

The fat cat has been quietly following behind Chen Beibei and Shiranhuo, and has been introducing some of the goods he saw along the way. Obviously, he also wants to continue selling his wares.

But I don't know that I haven't picked it all along, and I have taken it as a deaf ear.

Probably.

In Zhihuo's heart, Chen Beibei was already very satisfied that he could buy the wallpaper of the geisha hall for her.

So.

Even if I come across some products I want, I just walk by without seeing them.

However, Ibuki didn't care about Shiranui's attitude, and was still full of enthusiasm to introduce the goods that he thought Shiranui might like.

Colored flags, exquisite kimonos, fans, classical tea sets, precious fat powder......

"These colored flags are planted around the house, and they will be very beautiful. Do you want to think about meow? ”

"Girl, girl, look at this kimono, it is said to be the most beloved kimono meow of Oiran Yukihime, if you wear it, it will definitely be even more dazzling.

Hey, even if you don't wear it, it's a good meow to collect......"

“……”

Ibuki doesn't seem to know that he's tired, and he doesn't seem to be tired, and he always seems to be full of enthusiasm.

Although it is a little annoying to keep talking in my ear all the time.

But.

If you listen to it a lot, you will get used to it. Sometimes, I think it's interesting to hear Ibuki explain the stories behind the products.

"Master!"

The voice of the hopping sister sounded, coming from the back of a shelf.

Chen Beibei looked through the gap in the shelves, and Sister Hopping really looked at him on the other side of the shelves.

"Master, I want to buy this...... Don't know if it's okay? ”

Sister Hopping pointed to a bowl and said to Chen Beibei.

"Bowl?"

Chen Beibei asked with some confusion.

"Well, I want to buy a bowl for tomatoes so he doesn't have to eat on the floor......"

Sister Hopping said.

What Sister Jumping said made Chen Beibei can't help but think of it, in fact, in the courtyard house, there are actually beds, cabinets, and quilts and other things.

There are no tables, chairs, benches, or dishes and chopsticks for eating.

All in all.

There are only the most basic things in those houses, which can only meet the needs of the yokai to sleep in them.

As for the rest, there is no way to satisfy.

"I see, Sister Hopping, how did you eat before?"

Chen Beibei looked at Sister Jumping and asked her.

"We don't need to eat. Recently, however, I found a sweet potato-like plant in the forest. It's very sweet, and after roasting it over a fire, it tastes exactly the same as a sweet potato.

Since then, we've been eating some of those plants sometimes.

We all have hands, so we can hold and eat, but tomatoes can only be eaten on the ground. ”

Sister Hopping looked at Chen Beibei and explained to him.

In fact.

Youkai are actually able to go without eating, and they don't get weak from hunger.

But.

Eat something, it should be better. In short, there is no harm in eating for youkai.

Just like the gods who lived with Chen Beibei in the human world, they were all the same as Chen Beibei, eating three meals a day on time.

"Guan Hu, can I ask you a question?"

Chen Beibei looked at Guan Hu and asked her.

"Master, you ask."

Guan Hu said.

"Anyway...... You seem to be used to eating, right? Does eating have any special meaning to you?"

"Eat?"

Guan Hu frowned and thought about it, probably for this kind of thing that he was used to, it was a little difficult to answer directly.

"Probably because each food has a special taste, and eating these foods makes you feel that there are more wonderful things in this world."

Guan Hu said.

"For youkai, the time is very long, and it is very monotonous and boring.

So.

During these times, if you can meet more different things, it will make the time more interesting and meaningful. This is very important for youkai. ”

Guan Hu explained.

The lifespan of monsters is generally very long, and what Guan Hu said, Chen Beibei can understand it to some extent.

But.

When he heard Guan Hu say it himself, Chen Beibei still had a stronger feeling.

"I see, Guan Hu."

Chen Beibei reached out and touched Guan Hu's head, and then said.

Sister Hopping always goes to the forest to explore, and I don't know how to go for a walk in the forest.

Probably.

This is also because of their way of spending time for a long time.

For them, the forest is the only place in the courtyard that is full of location possibilities. Even if you know, you may walk all day, but you won't be able to meet a person, a monster, or even an animal.

But.

The plants in the forest are constantly changing, which is a novelty.
