Chapter 318: Flower Demon
Early morning.
The sun is shining on the earth, the birds are beating briskly on the branches, and a new day has begun.
The monk Zhiguang and the soldier's wife had been waiting at the door all night. The soldier's wife sat on the stone steps at the door, her face overflowing with worry, while the monk Zhiguang sat cross-legged and straight at the door, slowly twisting the rosary in her hand.
Even though a night has passed, Monk Zhiguang is still in good spirits.
There was no trace of exhaustion at all.
"Squeak~"
Chen Beibei opened the door, and Monk Zhiguang did not look back, but turned his back to Chen Beibei and asked, "Dao Chief, has it been cured?" ”
"Well, it's cured, but I haven't woken up yet, and it should take a while before I wake up."
Chen Beibei looked at Monk Zhiguang and replied to him.
At this time, the soldier's body had returned to normal, so Chen Beibei was still very confident in speaking.
After hearing this, Monk Zhiguang breathed a long sigh of relief, then stood up and looked at Chen Beibei: "Thank you for the chief!" ”
"Let's go inside."
Chen Beibei looked at the Zhiguang monk and the soldier's wife and said to them.
Chen Beibei came to treat that soldier, which was actually a very dangerous thing.
After all, that soldier was already in a very dangerous stage, and he could die at any time. If that soldier died, then Chen Beibei might be suspected by the people on the island.
It is even possible to vent their anger on Chen Beibei and them.
But luckily, everything is going well now.
When Chen Beibei entered the room, Yingcao was standing by the window, looking at the scenery outside.
Maybe it's because the things in the room are too monotonous.
After Monk Zhiguang entered the room, he walked over to the injured soldier, probably to check whether he was really cured.
"The Taoist is really extraordinary, he was a dying person yesterday, but today he has a ruddy complexion, and his pulse and breath are smooth and even."
Monk Zhiguang looked at Chen Beibei and said respectfully.
It can be seen from the expression of Monk Zhiguang that he is indeed admiring from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm just a wandering Taoist priest who just happens to know the secret way to heal burns. Master Zhiguang doesn't need to be praised like this, the little Taoist can't afford it......"
Chen Beibei looked at Master Zhiguang and said slowly.
Chen Beibei still has some reverence for Monk Zhiguang, after all, he is also a person who has gone through hardships and studied in Fusang for 30 years, bringing Master Kukai's Eastern Secret Buddhism to this island.
The soldier's wife had been standing behind Monk Zhiguang with her head down, although she was very worried, but at this time, she was just standing and did not run to her husband to check.
Because whether it is Monk Zhiguang or Chen Beibei, for her, they are all noble adults.
That is undoubtedly very rude.
"There are only a few of us in the room, and if you want to visit your husband, you don't have to stick to ordinary etiquette."
Monk Zhiguang looked at the woman and said in a very charitable voice.
Just listening to such a voice, it seems that the difference in status can be erased.
"Thank you, Tomomitsu-sama!"
The woman hurriedly saluted Monk Zhiguang, and then ran to her husband's side.
At this time, tears could not be suppressed from the woman's eyes: "It's so good, it's so good......"
……
"Dao Chief, since he has been cured, now let's go to the young master's mansion together and tell him the news."
Monk Zhiguang said.
At this time, the wounded soldier was out of danger and his body had returned to normal, but it was not known when he would wake up for the time being.
"I was tired of treating burns all night last night, and now my spirit is still a little trance, and it is really rude to see the young master like this. I also hope that Master Zhiguang will allow us to go back and rest for a few days, and then go to meet the young master. ”
Chen Beibei looked at Monk Zhiguang and said to him.
Although meeting the young master was also something that Chen Beibei had expected to happen before, but now Yingcao's body was indeed very weak, so Chen Beibei had no choice but to resign.
"Okay, the poor monk will go to report this matter to the young master alone, and the Taoist chief will go back and rest first."
After Monk Zhiguang finished speaking, he walked out of the house and walked towards the house next door.
Chen Beibei took Yingcao back to the house where he lived.
"Master, Sister Yingcao, you're back."
Xiaoluo bride, who was lying on the wall, jumped directly into Chen Beibei's arms when she saw Chen Beibei and Yingcao, and said happily.
"Bride Xiaoluo, why are you so happy today?"
Chen Beibei asked as he walked into the house with Yingcao.
In fact, Chen Beibei himself knows the reason why Xiaoluo is happy.
After all, last night was the road that Chen Beibei pointed out.
"Because the owl came to see me last night, and it always remembered us!"
Xiaoluo bride looked at Chen Beibei and said excitedly.
The bride has always been like a child, so she is so happy because of such a thing. For Xiaoluo's bride, Chen Beibei is still quite envious.
"The owl also said that he would come to see me often in the future, but if we go somewhere else next time, will the owl still be found?"
The bride continued.
"I think I can find it."
Chen Beibei replied.
"Really?"
"Really!"
Chen Beibei looked at Xiaoluo's bride and replied seriously.
Xiaoluo's bride followed Chen Beibei, and she had already run a lot of places, and the hanged ghost who had a good relationship with her didn't know why she disappeared.
The current Xiaoluo bride, the friends she has made, are only smoked.
Forehead...... No, there's a mountain hare!
Well, recently, the relationship between Xiaoluo bride and mountain rabbit has been getting better and better.
As for Zashiki Tongzi and Chen Beibei, they are the people who appeared in the life of Xiaoluo's bride when she was born. In a sense, it's more like a family relationship.
"Yingcao, you can rest first. At noon, we will wake you up to eat. ”
Chen Beibei looked at Yingcao and said to her.
"Yes, master."
Yingcao nodded obediently, and then pulled the quilt up a little......
……
Last night, Jiao Tu saw Chen Beibei and them walking over from Suzaku Avenue.
Then he followed a monk and entered the area guarded by the ironclad soldiers.
Jiaotu didn't have a way to get over, so he could only hide behind the wall all the time, after all, Jiaotu was just a little girl from outside for those ironclad soldiers.
It is impossible for such a person to let her pass.
"Pepper Diagram ,......"
A woman's soft voice sounded, right next to Jiaotu, because the voice was very small, and Jiaotu immediately heard that it was a dream-eating tapir, so Jiaotu was not frightened.
"Dream Eater, why are you here?"
Jiaotu looked around him, but he didn't see the Dream Eater Tapir, but Pepper still knew that the Dream Eater Tapir was beside him.
"The master is afraid that something will happen to you, so let me come to you."
The Dream Eater Tapir slowly emerged, still speaking in a soft voice.
"Please come back with me."
The dream-eating tapir looked at the pepper map and said seriously.
"Dream Eater Tapir, I'm going to save Xia Mu, I haven't seen Xia Mu for a long time. I don't know what happened to him now, so even if I go back with you, it will be difficult to sleep at night, so it is better to come out and take a look, in case I can see Xia Mu, it may not be. ”
Pepper replied.
At this time, Jiaotu didn't want to eat the dream tapir back, after all, for Jiaotu, Xia Mu was very important.
The human form that Pepper takes shape is the appearance of a melancholy girl of sixteen years old in a blue kimono. The current pepper map looks helpless, at least in the eyes of the dream-eating tapir.
"In that case, then you and I have been walking outside. But don't do anything stupid, and don't attract the attention of the people on this island. ”
Dream Eater Tapir walked up to Jiaotu's side and rubbed lightly on her a few times to show her friendliness.
The Dream Eater Tapir suddenly said this, which was something that Jiaotu didn't expect.
After all, the Dream Eater Tapir is Chen Beibei's style god, and now Chen Beibei asked the Dream Eater Tapir to come to her.
But the dream-eating tapir also took Jiaotu's mood into account.
"Thank you, Dream Tapir."
Jiaotu did not refuse, but nodded, and walked into a small street with the Dream Eater Tapir.
Jiaotu and Dream Tapir walked outside for a long time.
Finally stopped by a river, and the river flowed silently at night.
"Jiaotu, do you like Xia Mu very much?"
"Hmm."
"Why?"
"I don't know, maybe it's just because I like the feeling of being with him. As long as you are with Xia Mu, you will feel safe, as if you don't have to worry about anything. ”
Jiaotu looked at the Dream Eater Tapir and replied slowly.
After Jiaotu answered, his eyes met the Dream Eater Tapir for a moment, and then he slowly asked, "So does the Dream Eater Tapir have anyone you like?" ”
"Oh, no, I'm just a monster born of consciousness. Maybe it will suddenly disappear, and the difference between my appearance and that of a human is too great. If humans knew that I liked it, they would probably be scared......"
The dream-eating tapir lowered its head a little shyly, probably because it had lived for so long and still had no one to like. That's why I feel a little shy.
"So...... So, it's better not to fall in love with humans......"
Dream Eater Tapir continued.
As for the Dream Eater Tapir, Jiaotu hadn't spoken to her before, after all, both of them were the type who didn't like to talk.
But now they have only talked for a while, but they have already revealed their true thoughts to each other, probably in their hearts, they already feel that the other party will be a reliable friend.
Jiaotu seemed to suddenly think of something, and a surprised smile appeared on his face: "By the way, Dream Eater Tapir, you can be invisible, right?" ”
"That's right, I'm a formless consciousness, and the appearance you see now is just a change I made so that you can see it."
The Dream Eater Tapir looked at the pepper map and said slowly.
"In that case, you'll be able to get through the guards of those ironclad soldiers, right?!"
Pepper continued.
"I guess so."
The Dream Tapir replied.
"Then, Dream Eater Tapir, please go in and find Xia Mu. Although there is no way to rescue him, if you can know, Xia Mu is still alive and well. I can feel more at ease......"
Jiaotu looked at the Dream Eater Tapir and pleaded with her.
The river in front of him was still flowing silently, and the moon was reflected in the river, looking exactly like the moon in the sky. A fish wagged its tail slightly, and the moon in the water gradually became blurred......
"I see. If you can make Jiaotu feel more at ease, then I'll give it a try. ”
The Dream Eater Tapir looked at the pepper map and said slowly.
After speaking, the Dream Eater Tapir gradually turned his body transparent, and then disappeared in front of Jiaotu.
It's just to go to those houses to find Xia Mu, such a thing is originally a very simple thing for the Dream Eater Tapir. After all, every night, even if it's not looking for something, the dream tapir will sneak into other people's homes and suck other people's dreams to maintain their own energy.
……
The Dream Eater Tapir easily walked past the ironclad soldiers, without attracting their attention.
This is a normal thing for dream-eating tapirs.
To the left of Suzaku Avenue is a mountain, but by this time, the trees and the Kamo Ancestral Hall built in the middle of the mountain have been burned to the ground.
The Dream Eater Tapir walked to the right, and the Hemao Sect's Mansion was carved into a large character on a boulder.
Walk past this boulder, and then there is a promenade, a lake with lotus roots.
"Ah, it turns out that the master and Yingcao are treating the soldiers here."
The Dream Eater Tapir saw Yingcao and Chen Beibei, but the Dream Eater Tapir didn't go to say hello, after all, at this time, Yingcao was engrossed in treating the soldier's burns.
The Dream Tapir didn't want to distract her.
The Dream Tapir continued to walk in it, and the houses inside were beautifully decorated, and the furniture was made of fine wood. And many people's homes will hang some precious picture scrolls.
"Xia Mu shouldn't be in these places."
The Dream Eater Tapir has been looking for a long time, and he is already a little discouraged, after all, Xia Mu was captured by the onmyoji in the red kimono. Therefore, in the heart of the Dream Eater Tapir, he had already begun to wonder if Xia Mu would be locked up by these people.
There was no place to hold prisoners in the Hemao Sect's mansion, at least not the Dream Eater Tapir was found.
But even so, the Dream Eater Tapir still planned to take a look at every room in it, after all, the Dream Eater Tapir had promised Jiao Tu to come to Xia Mu before.
The dream-eating tapir doesn't want to be perfunctory.
"Now that you've agreed, let's cheer up and check it out."
The dream-eating tapir is found in one room, one room at a time.
It was already two or three o'clock in the morning, so almost all of them had fallen asleep. Don't say that the Dream Eater Tapir came in stealth, even if it wasn't stealth, those people wouldn't find the Dream Eater Tapir......
