Two days are fleeting.

At this moment, it was past five o'clock in the morning, and Chen Beibei and Chen Yan had already woken up.

Although the ticket is for the night, you still need to pack some things.

And when I went home, I was a little excited, and it was difficult to continue sleeping.

At five o'clock in the morning, the moon was still hanging outside the window, and there was a coolness everywhere in the air.

In the hazy moonlight, the old locust tree swayed gently, and some of the dew condensed on the leaves fell like a drizzle.

The Hanged Ghost and the Bride were both asleep.

When you wake up early, you just have a very strange feeling.

When everyone is sleeping, and only one wakes up, walking on the street, you will feel that the streets you usually walk on weekdays are very unfamiliar.

However, this strangeness does not make people feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, it is a very comfortable feeling, clean and sober.

I guess that's how it feels.

"Chen Yan, how do you feel about coming out this time?"

Chen Beibei took a piece of paper and sat on the stone at the door and asked.

Chen Yan also sat next to Chen Beibei, looking at the moon in the sky, which was about to be replaced by the sun: "I like it here, there will be a sense of quiet and freedom here." But sometimes I feel lonely when I'm in a foreign land......"

Chen Yan's voice made Chen Beibei feel a soft feeling. Probably because when Chen Yan spoke this time, he didn't use a roar, but a soft voice.

Chen Yan rarely does this......

"Chen Yan, in fact, the two of us have been together all the time, and there are so many monsters, if you think about it like this, will it make you think of loneliness less often?"

Chen Beibei said slowly.

The breeze blows, and the leaves of the old locust tree rustle.

Chen Yan stretched out his hand and gently wiped his cheeks: "The dew has fallen on my face, it's so cold......"

Chen Beibei stretched out his hand to grab Chen Yan and let her lean on his shoulder, and the two of them did not continue to speak.

The moon in the sky slowly moved westward, dimmer and dimmer, until it disappeared.

At this time, the sun appeared from the eastern sky, it was a red sun, and the light was not dazzling.

But after a while, it won't be like this.

"Master, why are you sitting here?"

A woman's voice is very thin and soft, and even if she says such an ordinary word, there is still a sense of caution.

It's a dream-eating tapir......

Probably after sucking other people's dreams, I came back to rest.

"Dream Tapir, let's just sit here for a while, you go and rest. At night, we're going to get out of here for a while. ”

Chen Beibei looked at the Dream Eater Tapir and said slowly.

"Leave?"

"Well, when I go back to my hometown, I will come back after the Chinese New Year. The dream-eating tapir will also go back with us. ”

"Really? Master, take me back. ”

There was a hint of redness on the face of the dream-eating tapir, and it was obvious that she was a little moved.

"Yes, now you're my Shikigami. We're a family. ”

Chen Beibei touched the head of the dream tapir, and then continued: "Go and rest." ”

In fact, after entering Chen Beibei's home, Chen Beibei really treated them as family.

However, the same goes for those youkai.

After all, everyone is lonely, and there will be some loss when leaving each other.

What's more, if those monsters leave Chen Beibei, it will be difficult for them to survive in this world.

……

Afternoon.

Chen Beibei was packing up his things in his room.

A monk walked straight in.

"Donor, we're meeting again."

This was the first thing the monk said when he saw Chen Beibei.

Chen Beibei looked at the monk in front of him, and the word "again" indicated that they had met before.

"You're that monk from the Sparrow Temple?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Yes."

Chen Beibei couldn't help but be vigilant, this monk came so uninvited.

I guess there's something.

Otherwise, the Sparrow Temple was far away from Chen Beibei's home, and there was no need for him to come over so hard.

Chen Beibei remembered that no matter where the monk went, he walked on his feet.

Even when you go from day to night, you never take those relatively convenient means of transportation.

Chen Beibei once heard people from Qinghe Town say that he had seen this monk in another city, which was about five or six hundred kilometers away from Qinghe Town.

It was also during that period of time that this monk was not in the Sparrow Temple for more than a month.

People say that he walked over and when he came back, he got a new pair of shoes.

The three-tailed fox saw the monk appear in Chen Beibei's room, and hurriedly pulled Zashiki boy and firefly to other rooms.

The three-tailed fox still remembers the terrible experience of being imprisoned in the room by a piece of the monk's talisman paper.

At that time, the spiritual power in the body was obviously decreasing, as if it had been sucked away by something.

"Did you come to my house for something?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"It's just that I'm just passing by, and I want to see if the rune paper I gave you at the beginning is still there."

"That rune paper is useless at all, and I have long since thrown it away."

"Really?"

The monk walked to the window and looked at the old locust tree: "The cobwebs on it are really strange." ”

"Strange?"

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

A smile appeared on the monk's face, still the kind of loving smile.

"If nothing else, you might as well leave. I'm leaving soon. ”

"Don't worry, that's what I'm here for."

"What happened?"

"You're leaving."

The monk looked at Chen Beibei and said lightly.

"It has nothing to do with you when I leave, right? We're not very familiar with each other. ”

"After you leave, something will come to Qinghe Town."

"What's that?"

"Ghosts."

The monk replied, his face becoming serious at some point.

The monks have already said this, and he must have already known the identity of Chen Beibei's onmyoji.

"Why do ghosts come after I'm gone?"

Chen Beibei looked at the monk and asked him.

"Qinghe Town is a town with aura, the river that surrounds the town, haven't you found anything strange?"

"Nope."

"It's clean, don't you think?"

"What's so strange about that?"

"Luoying City, Qinghe Town all rely on this river, so close to humans, since it can still maintain this level of clarity, isn't it strange?"

“……”

The monk's words, Chen Beibei had no way to refute them.

The river in Qinghe Town is indeed too clean, even cleaner than the river in the countryside far away from the city in Chen Beibei.

However, he suddenly said that Qinghe Town was a small town with aura, and the basis was just a clean river, which made Chen Beibei a little hard to believe.

"You're not lying to me, are you, what is Reiki?"

"If the monks don't speak, how can I deceive people. Reiki is a thing that can increase the power of demons and monsters, and it is generally invisible, but it is a thing that does exist. ”

The monk said seriously.

However, this monk's first impression of Chen Beibei was that he was not very reliable, so Chen Beibei still didn't believe him at this time.

However, in order to send him away faster, he still pretended to believe in his aura, which was regarded as retreating: "Even if there is aura, what does it have to do with us?"

The monk walked under the old locust tree and looked at the cobwebs overhead.

"There's a youkai by your side, you're an onmyoji, right? I discovered this when I first came to Qinghe Town. At that time, it was still a three-tailed fox and a kappa. ”

The monk looked at the small house of the dream-eating tapir in Chen Beibei's courtyard, and then said, "At first, I thought those two monsters were trying to harm you. That's why I gave you a rune paper that can absorb the spiritual power of youkai. I didn't expect that those youkai were just your shikigami. ”

The monk's words made Chen Beibei stunned.

Since this monk can say such things, who is he?

Could it be that the monks of a small temple are so powerful?

"Who the hell are you?"

Chen Beibei asked.

Chen Beibei asked this, in fact, it was equivalent to acquiescing in what the monk said, which was correct.

The corner of the monk's mouth smiled slightly, and the loving and harmless smile made Chen Beibei feel very comfortable.

"It's just an ordinary monk, but you'd better stay here. Outside Qinghe Town, a lot of ghosts have gathered. Presumably, it is all because of the aura here, and the people in Qinghe Town will probably suffer at that time. ”

The monk looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.

Ghost.

Chen Beibei has also seen a lot.

Now there's one in his yard, the hanged man!

And, of course, the previous lantern ghost, as well as smoke.

In Chen Beibei's opinion, these ghosts have no hostile intentions, and they generally do not harm humans.

"Ghosts don't want to hurt humans, do they?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Have you forgotten that the little ghost who killed a woman in the small town of Qinghe? The woman in her thirties, who owned a noodle shop in the small town of Qinghe, died as far as I know, and her death was related to ghosts. ”

The monk's gaze sank, and the smile on his face disappeared: "That ghost is your Shishen, have you forgotten this?"

Kappa.

Chen Beibei naturally remembered.

Kappa has its own grievances, and it is true that they have been treated unfairly during their lifetime.

However, according to Chen Beibei's understanding, Aunt Xuemei chose to die by herself.

Although it does have a relationship with kappa.

But that's voluntary.

In order to maintain the last trace of longing for family affection in Kappa's heart.

Kappa finally forgave Aunt Xuemei, saying, "I always wanted her to die, but when she really died, I was not happy at all, on the contrary, I felt very uncomfortable, like an ant biting." ”

"I remember, the name of that Shikigami is called Kappa, and you destroyed it, right?"

"It's not to be eliminated, it's just that she was reincarnated. These two are different concepts, and most ghosts are eager to be reincarnated. ”

The monk said lightly.

"Since that's the case, then you should also know that Aunt Xuemei is willing to die by herself, right?"

Chen Beibei's words undoubtedly prove that kappa has good intentions.

This goes back to the original question - ghosts don't want to harm humans at will, right?

The monk frowned, obviously if he wanted to convince Chen Beibei to stay, he had to prove that ghosts could harm humans.

Otherwise, even if Chen Beibei leaves, I won't have anything to do with it.

"By the way, there's another one, I don't know if you remember, there were several incidents of girls having their hair eaten before."

Of course, Chen Beibei remembers that incident.

Chen Beibei also saw the girl whose hair was eaten, afraid that her hairless appearance would be seen by others, and went out to buy things in the middle of the night.

It's really miserable.

After all, hair is so important for girls.

"Those things are the things that the Hair Eaters do. Make move. ”

The monk continued.

The story that the girls' hair was eaten by hair eaters came from the mouth of Grandpa Wenliu.

Although it is more real, Chen Beibei has never encountered the Hair Eater, and no one can be sure that those things were done by the Hair Eater.

So this example, for Chen Beibei, still has no effect.

After all, it's just rumors.

"That's just rumor."

Chen Beibei glanced into his room, the three-tailed fox, the Zashiki boy, and the firefly grass were all silently hiding.

Obviously, they were afraid of this monk.

Even the little bride, who has no special magical powers, has been hiding behind a pile of tightly clustered locust branches and leaves.

Chen Beibei walked into his room, then looked at the monk and said to him, "After going home for the New Year, I will come back." Go back, it's cold outside. ”

After Chen Beibei finished speaking, he closed the door.

For this monk, Chen Beibei still has some curiosity.

But for the sake of his own Shikigami, he really can't stay with him for too long.

The previous talisman paper was pasted on the door, and the three-tailed fox and kappa became extremely weak and pale, which still remained in Chen Beibei's mind.

The monk looked at the closed door, and then took out a bamboo pipe from his sleeve: "Come out." ”

Out of the bamboo pipe came a white fox the size of a small squirrel.

It's about the length of a 20-centimeter ruler, and the tail takes up about two-thirds of the total length.

The slender white fox crawled along the monk's arm to his shoulder, and asked softly, "Master, what are you calling me?"

It was a woman's voice, somewhat soft.

"Stay here, that Onmyoji has left Qinghe Town, remember to come to the Sparrow Temple to find me."

The white fox turned into a woman in a white dress.

Slim and elegant, red eyeshadow is painted on her eyes, which makes her original innocent appearance a little more charming.

"Master, I see."

The woman whispered, and then vanished into the alley.

However, the woman did not go far, but hid in a small shop and continued to monitor Chen Beibei.

And the monk returned to the Sparrow Temple, from day to night......

New style god~
