Chapter 264: Bugs
Jiaotu stood next to a hibiscus tree, which had not yet reached its flowering stage, so it looked like a very ordinary small tree.
The white dog stood quietly on the shadow diagonally opposite the pepper map.
This prevents the sun from shining in the middle of summer, and even if the youkai are animal-like and can sense changes in the environment, they will feel comfortable or uncomfortable because of the environment.
In this respect, there is not much difference from humans.
"Really?"
The white dog looked at Jiaotu and asked her.
Obviously, the white dog still has some doubts, will this girl in front of him really be willing to help herself?
"Well, you name it."
Jiaotu folded the handkerchief gently and put it in his pocket.
The white dog looked at the sea in the distance and the slowly fluttering clouds in the sky, and then began to say his request.
"When I was young, I was picked up by Xia Mu from the garbage heap and brought home, and since then, he has been taking care of me carefully.
Friend!
It's probably the most appropriate word to describe me and Xia Mu.
It may seem a little difficult for you to understand, how can a dog and a person become friends? What's more, this dog is still a youkai.
However, it is true. Xia Mu didn't look down on me because I was a dog, nor did he fear me and avoid me because I was a monster, and he didn't hand me over to those monks who could do strange spells and hunt ghosts and demons everywhere.
If I could, I would like to be by Xia Mu's side all the time, but as you can see, now my body has become aging, and in a few years, I will die.
So, I hope ...... You and your friends can replace me and accompany Xia Mu ......"
Jiao Tu has been listening carefully to the words of the white dog, for Xia Mu, although Jiao Tu has seen it a few times, and he also has some good feelings, but what kind of person Xia Mu is, Jiao Tu is not very clear, if so, he will agree.
Seem...... Some don't fit.
"This ......"
Jiaotu wanted to say no, but it was a little difficult to speak.
"You must not know Xia Mu, so you dare not agree, right?"
The white dog seemed to see through what Jiaotu was thinking.
"Hmm."
Pepper nodded.
"In this case, then before I die, there is still a period of time for you and your companions to get to know Xia Mu, so...... Hopefully, you'll be willing to get to know him and make a decision. And also...... It's not easy for youkai to live alone in a world that has been controlled by humans, right? ”
The white dog looked at Jiaotu and said lightly.
Nowadays, the world is full of humans, and youkai have almost lived in some dark, humanless environments.
Little monsters like them live in the human world, and they can be killed at any time.
This is clear to all youkai.
What the white dog said, Jiao Tu could naturally feel it, before the mussel spirit was only raised in a wooden basin by Xia Mu after being drunk, and Jiao Tu was already scared and wanted to cry.
Jiaotu thought for a moment, then looked at the white dog and said softly, "Okay." ”
……
"Master, the boy, do you agree?"
Gu Xuniao looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.
At this moment, a group of them are walking on the streets of Scarborough Town, and the lights at night make this town look very beautiful.
"No, but he'll definitely check the goods himself."
Chen Beibei replied.
"Oh?"
Gu Xuanniao had a hint of doubt.
"Didn't you say that he wasn't an ordinary man? If you can see a youkai and be a kind and bright person, you probably won't be able to abandon such a thing. ”
Chen Beibei said lightly.
For Xia Mu's evaluation, this comes from the mouths of Gu Bird and Dog God, after all, it is the two of them who have been going out to investigate information.
When Chen Beibei went to see Xia Mu today, he also had the same feeling as them.
"However, there seems to be only a white dog with very weak spiritual power by his side, if he goes to investigate, will it be dangerous?"
Gu Xuaniao said with some concern.
This was something that Chen Beibei hadn't considered before, and originally just wanted Xia Mu to take a look at what was in those boxes
Of course, it's likely that the contents are spirits like youkai.
Since it has something to do with youkai, it is obviously possible to encounter danger if a human who doesn't know what his strength is for the time being and a dog with a weak aura to investigate.
"Gu Won Bird, Dog God, the two of you will follow Xia Mu for a while. But try not to be discovered by him, just protect it secretly. ”
Chen Beibei looked at Gu Shu Bird and Dog God and said to them.
"Yes, master."
Gu Tori replied together with the dog god.
At night, the small town of Scarborough is exceptionally cool because of its proximity to the sea, and the sea breeze rustles the trees in the distance.
"Then you two should go now."
Chen Beibei was a little worried that Xia Mu would encounter danger, after all, Chen Beibei asked him to go, and if something happened to him, he was still a little unhappy.
"Okay, let's go."
Gu Hou Bird and Inu God walked towards the underground warehouse where Xia Mu lived, both of them were human appearances, and when they blended into the crowd, they looked no different from ordinary humans.
This made Chen Beibei's heart have a feeling of relief: "It's good, now they seem to be able to slowly integrate into the human world......
……
After the birds left, Chen Beibei took the gods and continued to walk on the streets of Scarborough Town, after all, according to Smoke, the Wine Swallowing Boy should be in Scarborough Town.
If you walk around outside, if you can meet the drunken boy, then Chen Beibei will be able to complete the task of "subduing the drunken boy" in the system.
The time of this task card has been a long time for Chen Beibei.
This made Chen Beibei stay at a very rudimentary level of an introductory onmyoji, just using the spiritual eye and the enchantment, such two yin-yang techniques.
In the case of talismans, you still need to redeem them in the system shop to use them, and the types are also fixed and limited.
This made Chen Beibei very uncomfortable.
The use of the Spirit Eye is very simple, and it requires almost no cultivation, and it can be used directly. But enchantment is a little different.
Chen Beibei or Enchantment has been around for a long time.
However, if you use the enchantment technique, you can only stop at creating an enchantment that encloses you almost two meters in a radius of about two meters.
This also means that in battle, Chen Beibei's enchantment can only protect his companions and himself who are no more than two meters away from him.
From the system, what is obtained is too little for Chen Beibei.
It seems that they are no longer enough to deal with the monsters in this world, Yaksha, Prajna, Wine Swallowing Boy, these monsters, any one, if Chen Beibei is left alone to fight, it is almost impossible to defeat them.
"Growth is too slow, we must complete this task as soon as possible, otherwise, we will have to stop moving forward."
Chen Beibei said secretly in his heart. His eyes also became resolute, this thing must be done, and it can't take too long!
……
"Jiaotu, that white dog, what did he say to you?"
Beng Jing saw that Jiao Tu came back alone, Jiao Tu's footsteps were very slow, and he kept his head down, as if he was thinking about something, so Beng Jing asked this.
"Mussel Spirit, have you ever thought that among human beings, there are also good ones? Or there are humans who can accept youkai with kindness. ”
Jiaotu looked at the mussel spirit and asked him.
"Jiaotu, what do you want to say?"
Mussel Jing asked suspiciously.
"That...... That Xia Mu, or such a person, we ...... Let's go and observe him. If this is the case, then we can live with him and follow human beings, and we can live more securely in this world. ”
Jiaotu looked at the mussel essence and said slowly.
"Jiaotu, our previous life in the sea, wasn't it? Why do we have to live with humans? ”
Mussel Jing leaned against the wall, his hands in his pockets, and when he spoke, his eyes never fell on Jiaotu's face, such a topic, Beng Jing didn't really want to discuss.
"Living in the sea, although very free, but ...... However, I always felt that something was missing, and the creatures in the ocean were not the same as us. Even if they don't exclude us, there's no way we can fit into them, can we? ”
Jiaotu looked at the mussel essence and said slowly.
Jiaotu's words made Bengjing's thoughts go back to the time when he used to live in the sea, to be precise, the time before he met Jiaotu.
Even after a long period of cultivation, he has slowly turned into a monster, and he has some more advanced ways of thinking.
But the loneliness of living alone, and the isolation of not being able to find the same existence as himself, made him live in an unspeakable state of anxiety and depression.
Climb onto the beach, wait in a puddle of water for the sun to evaporate the water, and you'll be trapped here.
This is clear to the mussels themselves.
It also did this on purpose, just to escape that feeling, after all, at that time, it was still just a little monster that couldn't transform into a human form, even if it wanted to go to the human world, looking for a sense of identity, and freshness, it was completely impossible to do.
"Perhaps, you can turn it into the same existence as yourself, like that...... Maybe it's better......"
Such a thought, when Beng Jing's mind appeared, Beng Jing felt a trace of shame, after all, that little fish, but he tried his best to save himself.
Even if Beng Jing didn't want Jiao Tu to save himself, Beng Jing knew that he couldn't ignore the fact that Jiao Tu saved himself because of this.
The clam spirit did not selfishly deceive the pepper to become a monster.
Instead, he let Jiaotu leave, and it wasn't until the next encounter that the mussel spirit found that although Jiaotu was a beautiful fish, it was rejected by all the fish because of this beauty and difference, and Jiaotu was not only isolated compared to himself, but also weaker.
Becoming a monster was chosen by Jiaotu himself, and until now, he didn't feel that it was a wrong decision.
Especially when the spiritual power in Jiaotu's body was enough for him to transform into a human form.
Jiaotu looked at the girl with a delicate face and a blue kimono reflected in the water, and she hardly slept all night.
"What are you thinking?"
Jiaotu's voice pulled Bengjing's thoughts back, and Bengjing reached out and scratched his head, and then said perfunctorily: "No...... Since Jiaotu wants to learn about Xia Mu, then go ahead. I'm with you! ”
When the clam spirit said this, his tone was very casual, as if he was just saying something very indifferent.
Mankind.
For mussel essence, it has always been unapproachable, which is what Jiaotu is well known for.
"Mussel ,......"
Jiaotu pounced on the mussel spirit and wanted to hug him, but the mussel spirit turned slightly sideways and dodged.
"Bang."
Pepper slammed into the wall where the mussel was leaning......
"Jiaotu, between us, there is no need to be so sensational."
Mussel Jing said lightly.
As Beng Jing spoke, he glanced down at the clothes on his body, which were full of dust and dirty, not as refreshing and clean as Jiaotu.
Hug or something, it's going to stain Pepper's clothes.
……
Underground warehouse.
In a dilapidated and small room, Xia Mu was lying on the bed alone, pillowing his arms and not closing his eyes.
Obviously, something was on the mind.
The man who lived with Xia Mu had already gone to Chunyu Street to have fun at this time.
"Do you want to ...... At this time, what about another trip to the warehouse? ”
Xia Mu muttered to himself.
At this time, Jiaotu and Mussel Spirit, Dog God and Gu Won Bird, and the four monsters were all hiding not far from Xia Mu's dormitory.
The bird and the dog god came to protect him.
And Jiaotu and Bengjing just want to get close to him and get to know him slowly.
"Bang ......"
There was a knock on the door, and then, a man's voice came: "Xia Mu, come out to work." ”
At this time, it's not too late.
At this time, there is a ship to deliver goods, so it is normal to work.
"Hmm."
Xia Mu agreed, then quickly got up, opened the door, followed the three Fusang merchants, and walked out together.
However, this time, it was not towards the beach......
Because Xia Mu went to the warehouse just now, peeked at it, and basically determined that there was a monster in the box inside.
This strange direction made Xia Mu feel a little weak.
"Excuse me...... Where are we going? ”
Xia Mu asked.
"Although the goods have arrived, due to some special reasons, we can't unload the goods at this time, and we can't wait until later, so let's find a place to eat now."
The skinny and shrewd merchant replied.
The direction he is walking in now is indeed towards the night market street of the town, Xia Mu is relieved.
However, another question appeared in his mind, what is the reason why those goods cannot be unloaded at this time? 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.
