Chapter 245: Hundred Eyes Ghost 2
A slow-flowing stream, a bamboo forest, and the green mountains in the distance.
It is true that Jiaotu only saw a dilapidated house in this place, and this old fisherman, even the road he walked on now was overgrown with wild grass.
So the words of the old fisherman, it is indeed true, the place is very remote.
Jiaotu looked at the old fisherman who was gradually moving away with a fish basket, and felt a little confused and helpless in his heart......
"I thought I could find the mussel spirit through the sewers, but I didn't expect that since I came to such a place, where should I find you now, the mussel essence?!"
Jiaotu walked towards the dilapidated house not far away.
Now that we're here, let's go find someone else and inquire about the whereabouts of the clam spirit.
There is at least a little hope for that.
……
Xia Mu looked at the river mussel in his hand, and then quickly ran into the house and locked the door......
"Hey, you're not going to be a youkai, are you?"
Xia Mu asked.
Although Beng Jing heard Xia Mu's inquiry, there was no way to answer now, and there was no way to make any response.
"Xia Mu, what are you talking about? It's just a very ordinary mussel......."
The white dog spoke human words.
This is a stray dog that Xia Mu picked up when he was in the first grade of elementary school.
The first encounter with the white dog was in a garbage dump, it was raining, because he didn't bring an umbrella, Xia Mu, who was running in a hurry in the rain, sent out a puppy who was rummaging for food.
The rain soaked the puppy's fur and stuck to it.
But the puppy's body clearly emits a faint glow, white, like a gas with color, surrounding the puppy.
This was the first time Xia Mu had encountered a monster, and in the time that followed, Xia Mu knew that that faint light, or colored gas, was actually the so-called aura.
Whether it's an animal, a plant, or even a utensil for everyday use, these things can turn into monsters under certain circumstances.
In some books, it is also recorded that if the things used by human beings have been with a person for more than 20 years, it is possible to slowly develop consciousness, that is, to have aura.
In a sense, such a thing has become a demon.
But most of them are just some very ordinary, very weak, and can't even have an impact on the external environment and humans.
Of course, there will be some more powerful ones.
It can reach the point of using human language, or even transfiguring into a human form, making it difficult for humans to distinguish, and then doing something that affects humans.
Xia Mu told Grandpa Liu about this, but Grandpa Liu didn't believe it, after all, at that time, Xia Mu's age was too young.
However, Xia Mu also slowly learned one thing.
- You can see youkai with your own eyes!
When the old fisherman was about to smash the river mussel, Xia Mu saw the pale cyan halo emanating from the river mussel.
That's why Xia Mu stopped the old fisherman.
"Xiaobai, no, this river mussel is the same as you, and it is also a monster......"
Xia Mu explained.
Xia Mu said, shaking the river mussel in his hand: "Hey, can you hear me?" ”
The mussels were shaken a little uncomfortably.
However, there is still no way to recover from the paralysis of alcohol.
"Xia Mu, you can't be mistaken, right? There aren't that many monsters in this world. ”
White Dog said.
At this time, the white dog is no longer the little milk dog that he picked up before, and in more than ten years, Xia Mu is already seventeen years old.
And the white dog has also begun to enter his old age.
I heard that the lifespan of a dog is only about thirteen years, and the puppy that was picked up is only a few months in size, and it is now ten years and a few months old.
Although the white dog is a youkai, it has only reached the level where it can use human language, and it does not have aura to stop the aging of its body.
If nothing else, the remaining life span of the white dog will not exceed five years, or even just one ~ three years!
"Xiaobai, you can't be wrong!"
Xia Mu replied affirmatively.
Although Xiaobai has grown up now, Xia Mu still hasn't changed its name, as if this can make him ignore the fact that Xiaobai is getting old.
Xia Mu bent his index finger, pinched it with his thumb, slowly accumulated, and flicked the mussel hard.
"Ah~ it hurts......!"
A voice sounded, and it was from a river mussel.
The river mussel, whose consciousness had not yet recovered, suddenly felt a sharp pain and cried out unconsciously.
"Haha, Xiaobai, look, I'm not wrong."
Xia Mu said happily.
At this time, the mussel essence has slowly recovered, and the heaviness of the body has slowly disappeared.
"Thank you for saving me......"
The mussel spirit looked at Xia Mu and said to him.
Before, if it wasn't for Xia Mu, the clam spirit would have been stoned to death by the old fisherman now.
Therefore, the mussel spirit is very attentive to thank you.
"It's okay, I just did a very simple thing."
Xia Mu replied.
The mussel spirit did not become a human being, after all, the mussel spirit did not know what kind of person Xia Mu was.
Although I had a good impression of Xia Mu from the beginning.
However, this can't be used as an excuse to unload the defense, if you want to live, it's better to be cautious, only in this way, you can see Jiaotu again.
"Melancholy girl in a blue kimono, what are you doing at the moment?"
……
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a soft knock at the door, not hurried, in a proper rhythm.
"River mussels, you stay in the basin well, don't talk, someone is coming outside."
Xia Mu looked at the clam spirit and said to him.
"Hmm."
Mussel replied.
Xia Mu walked out, and the white dog kept following Xia Mu.
Xia Mu opened the door, and there was a girl in a blue kimono standing at the door, with a slightly shy expression on her face.
This is the first time that Jiaotu has taken such the audacity to knock on the door of a stranger's house.
"Hope...... Don't be angry, people inside! ”
Jiaotu is even ready to run away, in case a grumpy strong man comes out, then it's better not to ask......
"Hello, excuse me, do you have something?"
A gentle voice sounded, the voice of a teenager, with a warm feeling like the spring sun.
The worries in Jiaotu's heart were swept away......
Jiaotu looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a clean boy......"
Jiaotu doesn't know how to describe it.
However, for Jiaotu, the word clean is probably the most accurate word to describe the teenager in front of him.
It's like clean water, clean sky, a pure blue beauty.
Especially Jiaotu, who lives in the sea, is even more loyal to clean seawater.
"What did you say?"
Xia Mu asked.
Jiaotu hurriedly covered up the past: "No...... Nothing ......."
"Excuse me, have you ever seen a boy as tall as me? His hair was messy, and his clothes were a little shabby. ”
Pepper asked.
Although the mussel spirit can transform into a human being, and its appearance changes with his own consciousness, the mussel spirit has always existed as a sloppy and unkempt appearance.
Although he has been complained by Jiaotu: "You are so dirty like this." But the mussel spirit was unmoved, and thought in his heart that this image symbolized a kind of freedom.
Xia Mu frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and then replied, "No ......"
Jiaotu's height is about one meter six, and Xia Mu can be sure that he has not seen a boy of this height come to him.
"Alright then, I'll go...... Look elsewhere......"
Jiaotu turned around and wanted to leave.
If the clam spirit is not here, then there is little hope of looking for him elsewhere.
The pepper was brought here by whirlpools and streams in the sewers.
It seems that Jiao Tu has forgotten the way back to Scarborough Town: "I'm really useless......"
Jiao Tu walked out not far away, and Xia Mu's voice came from behind him.
"Hey, you're a monster too!"
Because in the past, the clam spirit said that among humans, there are some people who can distinguish youkai and will kill them.
So when Xia Mu told his identity, Jiao Tu hurriedly ran away.
"It's so dangerous, it can't be that I met an onmyoji!"
The people who will use magic are collectively known as onmyoji, and these people include monks, Taoist priests, alchemists, shamans, fortune tellers, and onmyoji.
Most of these people in the description of the mussel spirit exist for the benefit of mankind!
What they do is to retreat the monsters, that is, to destroy and repel the monsters in order to protect the peace of the world.
Jiaotu is still afraid of those humans who can see through and distinguish monsters, after all, this is the first time Jiaotu has come to the area inhabited by humans.
……
The moonlight is cold.
It has been ten days since Chen Beibei left Qinghe Town, and in these ten days, he still hasn't encountered a single monster.
At the moment, everyone is resting against a big tree.
The night was already very deep, the monsters had already fallen asleep, and only Chen Beibei was still with his eyes open, looking at the stars and the moon in the sky.
Chen Beibei was in the system and opened the Shishen column.
There are four newly added gods.,Sea owner.,Jumping brother,Jumping brother,Jumping sister,Three youkai picture cards,There's also a "new" word,The logo.。
Recently, Chen Beibei has not checked the attributes of the monsters, nor has he entered the system.
One is because the drunken swallowing boy has been wandering in the world, so Chen Beibei has no intention of looking at these.
The other is because the task in the system has been stuck in "subduing or eliminating the drunken boy." "It's been a long time since I've refreshed this task.
Even if you get into the system, it doesn't make sense.
Today, it's just in the middle of the night insomnia.,Occasionally click on the system.,In fact, there is no purpose.。
Chen Beibei clicked on the card with the owner of the sea square.
Some of the panel values of the sea owner are displayed.
Name: Kaifang owner.
Rarity: SR
Grade: LV1 (01000)
Combat effectiveness: 6
Secret Skill: The Wrath of the Sea, the Sea Master is especially suitable for fighting in places where there is water, and can create whirlpools in the water to set off waves. (Tsunamis can be caused in the middle of the sea!) )
……
The owner of the sea is a youkai who does evil in the sea, and will overturn passing fishing boats, leaving those who go out to sea to drown in the sea.
Therefore, many fishermen will light incense to the gods they worship in their homes before going out to sea, and then say some words of prayer.
On the other hand, the wife prayed to the gods every day to protect her husband's safe return on the days when her husband went to sea.
This custom has probably been passed down all along.
Basically, each family of people who live by the sea will have their own deity to worship, and although it is only a small statue, it will slowly give birth to a real god under the influence of incense in 10, 20, 100, or even hundreds of years.
Of course, the most important thing is to let the worries in your heart slowly disappear in prayer and you can live a peaceful life.
Death, and the unknown, will always be something that human beings cannot resist.
The turmoil in the soul can be sustenance and telling, which is exactly what those fishermen really need......
Now the owner of the sea square has been accepted by Chen Beibei as a style god.
Hopefully, the sea will calm down a bit.
……
Chen Beibei continued to click on the next picture of Shishen, Brother Hop!
Name: Brother Hopping
Rarity: SR
Grade: LV1 (01000)
Combat effectiveness: 7
Secret Skill: Stand-in attack, Brother Jumping can summon a stand-in to fight for himself, and the damage taken by the stand-in will not return to Brother Jumping.
Brother Hopping is the oldest zombie in the Hopping family, but it's not very reliable.
emmmmm…… In fact, the one who is really suitable to be an elder brother is the jumping brother!
However, Brother Hopping is an SR-level monster, and in terms of combat effectiveness, he is still more powerful than Brother Hopping and Sister Hopping.
Moreover, at some critical junctures, Brother Hopping will also become reliable.
For example, when the tomato came back before, when the Hopping brother was in danger, and when the Hopping sister bit a human for the first time, the Hopping brother was very reliable.
The kind of laughter that Brother Jumping has on weekdays, probably because he wants to mediate the atmosphere, or it is a natural character, no matter what the situation is, Brother Jumping's IQ is absolutely no problem, he is a normal zombie!
……
Name: Hopping Brother
Rarity: r
Grade: LV1 (01000)
Combat effectiveness: 3
Secret Skill: Deadly Corpse Poison, Jumping Brother can input corpse poison into the bodies of other animals, and then control these animals to attack enemies. Enemies bitten by animals that have been poisoned will also be infected with the poison and die within 1~3 days.
Although the combat effectiveness of the jumping brother is not high, the ability to use it seems to be quite powerful. After all, it is too simple to inject corpse poison into the body of an animal, and then you can control that animal, so it is too simple to kill an ordinary person.
For example, control a mosquito and slowly inject corpse poison into the human body through the mosquito's mouthparts.
Of course, this is just an assumption.
Brother Hopping wouldn't do that, huh, you bad guys!
The three siblings have always stayed away from humans because they were once human beings and had parents, so they understand the feeling of losing a loved one.
That's how I can endure the loneliness and boredom of staying in an isolated space. 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.
