Chapter 42: Heavenly Demons

Watanabe's eyes widened suddenly.

What appeared in front of me was a man and a woman.

Neither of them looks very old.

The older girls were only fifteen or sixteen years old—maybe younger.

The boy was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Yuki Watanabe's gaze fell on the boy in front of him.

The young man was exquisitely dressed, and he was dressed in an extremely ornate moon-white hunting garment—a hunting garment that he had ever seen, and that only those famous Onmyoji could wear.

He held a blue folding fan with a strangely shaped and intricate rune painted on it, and Watanabe glanced at it several times, but he couldn't understand it.

He looked into the young man's eyes, and his throat unconsciously slid up and down: "Your Excellency is also an Onmyoji?" ”

Qiao Xi narrowed his eyes and didn't answer his question, just glanced up at the sky and said meaningfully: "Well, it's not a good choice to come to this mountain at this moment." ”

Hearing him say this, Watanabe Yuki couldn't help frowning, but the villagers surrounding him suddenly became emboldened when they found out that Qiao Xi was not a monster but an onmyoji.

The villager who had been talking to Yuki Watanabe before stood up excitedly: "Onmyoji-sama came here to destroy youkai. ”

Qiao Xi closed the fan with a "snap", and looked at the villager who spoke with a smile: "Monster?" ”

His fingers lightly tapped in the air, and in the woods, which were especially dim at dusk, there were dots of light green light visible to the naked eye lingering on his fingertips.

The light emitted by those rays was extremely soft, but it still looked very strange in this already gloomy atmosphere, and several villagers were startled and screamed to hide behind Watanabe.

However, Watanabe's eyes suddenly lit up.

In the moment when those lights lit up, he could clearly feel the very rich aura emanating from this mysterious young man—even more mellow and comfortable aura than his master.

There was a sudden burst of astonishing light in his eyes, and there was a faint sense of reverence and envy in it.

"I didn't expect the adult to be such a powerful onmyoji."

He said enviously, and his gesture looked very respectful.

The villagers stood there bewildered by the sudden change, looking at this and that.

The curvature of Qiao Xi's eyes became more and more beautiful, and then his fingers moved slightly, and those lights suddenly rotated at his fingertips.

As the speed of rotation became faster and faster, at a certain moment, those points of light shot in one direction like a sharp arrow.

There was a scream from the tree, and Watanabe's expression tightened, and he looked at the place where the sound came from in a panic.

A hideous-looking demon fell from the tree with a scream, clutching his legs and calling "Ouch Ouch".

Qiao Xi's fingertips flickered, and those points of light gradually dissipated, and then walked up to the evil ghost in a few steps, crouched down and tilted his head to look at it.

"Oh, it's a heavenly demon."

He blinked.

- Then it was really timely.

He thought, his eyes glancing at Yuki Watanabe.

Yuki Watanabe's expression suddenly became nervous when he heard the name of "Heavenly Evil Ghost".

"What?! Is it a legendary youkai that will imitate the voice of a familiar person and lure humans into falling for it? ”

When the villagers heard this, they couldn't help but scream.

"Isn't what I just heard not Gorou's voice at all?"

"Is this youkai imitating Gorou?"

"Oh my God! Thankfully, it was caught by Onmyoji-sama! ”

"Kill it! Devil! ”

……

For a while, the crowd was furious, and they all said that they wanted to kill this evil ghost.

Hearing everyone's shouts, the Heavenly Demon who was originally holding his leg suddenly jumped up from the ground and shouted, "I didn't eat any Goro!" You bad guys! Be careful that I eat you guys! ”

The appearance of the Heavenly Demon was terrifying, and in the dim light it could only be seen in the dim light of its bloody mouth hidden in the mottled shadows of the trees, its eyes larger than a human fist, and the black folds of bark on its face.

Its limbs were slender and long, and its body was particularly huge in comparison, and it danced with so much excitement that it was like a large urn filled with water that suddenly grew arms and legs and jumped up from the ground.

Everyone hid behind Watanabe Yuki one by one, Watanabe Yuki nervously pinched the charm to protect everyone behind him, but there was no superfluous movement, but instead looked at Qiao Xi, who was standing aside and shaking a fan with a smile.

Qiao Xi touched his chin, watched the Heavenly Evil Ghost sit on his feet and scare the human beings with a grimace, smiled slightly, and asked lightly.

"Oh? Who do you say you're going to eat? ”

The Heavenly Evil Ghost stared and turned his head to look at Qiao Xi.

- It knew that it was the person who had just hit its leg, so the moment it turned its face, it deliberately widened its eyes and opened its mouth to make a very vicious expression.

However, when it saw the appearance of the "human" in front of it, its huge eyes widened a lot in an instant, and it looked at it as if it wanted to emerge from its face.

Qiao Xi twitched the corner of his mouth with some unbearable eyes.

That day, the demon clutched his chin and screamed again.

- I opened my mouth too wide because I was so surprised that I couldn't close it now.

Firefly finally couldn't hold back Qiao Xi's "giggle" behind him.

Screams and a crisp laugh rang out in the silence of the woods.

A gust of wind blew, rolling up the fallen leaves on the trees, and the faces of the onlookers were very gloomy.

After a long time, Qiao Xi coughed, raised his foot and kicked the Heavenly Evil Demon, and said, "No, tell me, why do you want to lure these people over." ”

The Heavenly Evil Ghost got up from the ground, and an aggrieved look appeared on a face that described horror, and it seemed to have an indescribable weirdness, so that Qiao Xi couldn't help but reach out and knock it on its head with a fan.

The Heavenly Demon twisted his hands—they were, and the two slender arms were mixed together as if they were tied in a knot.

Qiao Xi held his forehead, and the heavenly demon finally spoke in a twisted manner.

It lives in this mountain, not far from the mountain where the shrine of Toyotsuki God is located, and the surrounding youkai know that Toyogetsu God does not like yokai who do evil.

- Especially after the legend of the Toyotsuki God and the ghost king of the Great River Mountain, the Drunken Swallowing Boy, a tie, these monsters became more and more in awe of the Toyotsuki God.
