Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wine Swallowing Boy and the Momiji Hime
As soon as he said this, the three people next to him ...... The monsters were a little surprised.
Qiao Xi glanced at the two of them, tilted his head, and took the lead in asking, "The legendary monster that stands at the peak of the ghost clan...... Now, what kind of monster is the wine swallowing boy that Sakura has seen? β
Sa Dou groaned for a while, and threw out a sentence: "It's hard to say." β
ββ¦β¦β
This reaction really made Qiao pity that they had nothing to say.
Sakura couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, controlling her urge to pinch Qiao Xi's cheek, and then thought about it and said, "But Lord Drunken Boy is indeed a very powerful youkai. β
"He has a very powerful wine gourd, which was refined by the lord himself, and the legend says that it contains the divine wine of the heavenly realm."
Seeing that the three of them all showed thoughtful expressions because of their words, the style of the fighting painting changed, and suddenly said: "However, the most talked about by the monsters about the wine swallowing boy recently is the affair between him and the Momiji-hime in Kyoto~"
When he said "Momiji", he obviously glanced at Qingming who was sitting next to him, so Qiao Xi and Buyue also followed his gaze.
Qingming listened while thinking, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw three different lines of sight looking at him, and immediately touched his nose with some embarrassment.
"The ......"
Sa Dou smiled.
"Allah, I heard that Harumaki-kun came from Kyoto, have you ever heard about Momiji-hime?"
Qingming couldn't help but glance at the spring breeze smile on Sa Dou's face, only to feel a chill behind him.
"I've really heard about it."
He paused, organized his language, and began to speak.
"Actually, it's not a romantic affair. When the wine swallowing boy was drinking in Heiankyo pretending to be a human, he had a relationship with Momijihime, who was playing the piano in the same attic at the time.
Momijihime has always been known as the first beauty in Heiankyo, but she didn't expect that even this ghost king of the great rivers and mountains fell in love with her at first sight. β
Qingming said, a little puzzled.
Speaking of which, he also had a relationship with Momiji Ji, and the other party's appearance is indeed extremely gorgeous.
He thought about it, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the sa bucket next to him.
- But this Sakura-san is even better than Momiji-hime based on her appearance alone.
Since the ghost king has met Sakura before, why does he have a heart for Momiji, who is not as good as Sakura?
Qingming is really puzzled.
But he only thought about such doubts in his heart, but he didn't say it.
- He didn't know that in the eyes of the youkai, appearance was just a random incidental thing. If they want to, they can use their demonic power to transform the most beautiful facial features in the world.
"However, as a human being, Momiji-hime is very afraid of him, and seeks the help of the Onmyoji of the Kamo family, perhaps because of this, which angered the wine-swallowing boy."
"But these things are only circulated in private, and the truth of them is not very clear below."
Qingming sighed slightly.
His father, who has always been keen to squeeze himself, doesn't know what happened this time, as if he remembered the loss of his father's love that had long been forgotten in the abyss, and seeing that the situation in Kyoto was not good, he didn't stop him when he proposed to leave, so he let him leave Kyoto far away.
Because he left early, he didn't pay much attention to the details, and he didn't know much about the follow-up plot, only that Kyoto would definitely be a mess at this time.
After listening to Qingming's narration, the three of them didn't know what to say.
ββThe man who stands at the peak of the ghost clan in the legend, because the human woman led the monsters of the entire country to war with a family of onmyoji, how to think about this kind of thing is unscientific.
- I always feel a subtle feeling of an idol falling off the altar.
And as the leader, is it really okay for you to be so impulsive?!
After being silent for a while, Sa Dou suddenly stroked his cuffs and said, "Allah, is this what Qing Mingjun heard about?" β
Seeing that several people were looking at him when they heard the sound, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Sakura has heard a different story here." β
He said the version he had heard, and the mood of several people became even more indescribable.
His version goes something like this.
One day, the human girl Momiji played the piano in the attic because she was too melancholy, and it happened that the ghost king of the great rivers and mountains came to this attic to drink, and after hearing the heartbreaking sound of the piano, she was touched, so she went to see the girl who played the piano without permission, so one person and one monster fell in love at first sight.
When the drunken boy learned that the reason why the girl was so melancholy was because the He Mao family coveted her beauty and wanted to marry her, he was quite unhappy.
Even if there is only one side, but with his dignity and possessiveness as a big monster, he will never allow any grievances between the humans or monsters under his protection, so he ran alone to warn the head of the He Mao family.
However, his arrogant behavior angered the Kamo family, and the Kamo family forcibly took Momiji-hime away, but I don't know what happened in the middle, Momiji-hime turned out to be a fragrant jade death, which caused the current chaotic situation in Kyoto.
ββ¦β¦β
The atmosphere at this time was quite weird, and after a while, Qiao Xi opened his mouth with difficulty and asked Sadou: "Where did you hear this version?" β
Such a bloody hero saving beauty and a plot of inconsistencies - a certain grandmother would not dare to write like this!
Sakura tilted her head with a sincere expression: "Of course it was said by Lord Qingxingdeng." β
ββ¦β¦β
Qingxing lantern, Qiao Xi has heard the name of this monster.
It is said to be a very scary ghost. She was not originally a human, but a little imp from hell, who often wandered the gates of the underworld, and would take on the form of a familiar human being, instigating people to play a game called the Hundred Ghost Lantern.
The so-called 100 ghost lanterns are to light 100 white candles, and then all the people or monsters participating in the game tell a strange and terrifying thing they have experienced in turn, and blow out a candle after each story, and the hundredth story is told by the person who hosts the game - that is, Qingxing Lantern.
When all the candles are extinguished, everyone involved in the game will be taken to hell, so it is said that the Qingxing Lantern is a very ferocious and dangerous monster.
Qiao Xi recalled his understanding of the monster Qingxing Lantern, and his mood was very complicated.
He bit his lip and thought about it, but couldn't help but ask: "Now, Sakura knows Qingxingdeng?" β
Sa Dou smiled and nodded: "Yes, Lord Qingxinglan is a very cute monster who likes to tell stories." By the way, she admires adults very much, and said that she will come to visit if she has the opportunity~"
ββ¦β¦β
Qiao Xi was depressed, raised his hand and pressed back Buyue, who was about to jump up, and said, "I haven't met her, have I?" β
