"She said she had manipulated my desires, but I didn't feel any drastic change, just a little clearer and less eager to kill people.

And the eyes, the rest... I don't know..."

"There's also a temperament, it's a little like before, Li."

The two of them soaked in the hot spring, this time Erli was not so flustered, and she was not as restrained as before, but her face was still a little red, maybe it was the heat of the hot spring, or perhaps, this time she adjusted her desires, and the young man's mind woke up again.

Yakumo recognized this, so she deliberately opened her posture and spread her hands, but most of her body was still submerged in the spring water.

“… And before... I don't think it's that much like it, after all, I can still remember what I did. ”

She looked away, and because of the fog, Purple didn't see Erlie's expression clearly, but she felt that the red on the other side was a little darker.

"But the personality has changed a lot compared to before, Leigh.

Before stripping away the desire to be controlled, you have become a little more indifferent, although there is no change in me and Kazami Yuka, but the attitude towards others is really unexpectedly cruel. ”

"Haha... In Sister Yuka's opinion, I have grown up as a monster...

In a sense, it's the way of being a demon..."

Unconsciously, Purple stood up, and the spring water she brought up flowed down her smooth skin, shining in the moonlight.

"Purple?"

Some didn't understand why Zi stood up, but it had only been in for about two minutes, but she felt like she was about to go out.

It's just that Purple walked up to Erli's side, just changed positions and sat there.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing... Just to see how you're different from the previous you.

How long can you last in this state? ”

She squinted at a somewhat sluggish Ellie. Because she knew that there weren't a few youkai who could control their thoughts and desires, and that tengu wouldn't be idle to do these things, because the two didn't have anything to do at all.

The change in Erli is something she can see, or rather, it is Erlie's own change little by little, and it is her appetite that is changed little by little by being a demon.

If she doesn't overcome what is within the essence of the demon, she will still return to that cold and crazy appearance, without much reason, and it is very likely that it will cause trouble for the two of them.

For example, this time, fortunately, Riluo Yuan deliberately won over Erli, otherwise, with her strength enough, she could contain Erli and grind her to death little by little. Or, just call more monsters to beat her up.

"I don't know... It's a strange desire..."

"It's just your heart... Demon.

I'm glad you've found yourself again, albeit only temporarily.

Don't just fill in the rocks, the water will only rise higher and higher

Remember to properly drain the floodwater, or, dig deep channels? ”

"Sometimes I really want to know who makes you... With that under-beaten tone. ”

After listening to the emotionless words, Ellie couldn't help but say something.

"What's wrong?"

"No... It's nothing...

Riluoin's ability can only suppress my desires, but it can't solve the problem fundamentally. ”

"So it's just a matter of finding a way, but ah, Leigh."

Purple put her hand on Erlie's forehead and brushed up a strand of fallen hair, which was also a little more solemn. Seeing this, the latter looked at it regardless of the psychological or physical oppression brought to him by the close proximity of the two bodies.

"Purple?"

"Don't get too close to the tengu named Rirain, she belongs to the tengu clan after all, although I don't know the specific information, but it's also similar to the existence of a small society.

Something's going on, you're going to return the favor, understand? ”

Erlie grabbed Purple's hand on her forehead with both hands and guided it to her collarbone, smiling understandingly

"I know... I know that...

I won't look for them as a last resort... It cannot lead us to unknown dangers. ”

……

……

……

"I said, Sister Ellie, how have you changed..."

"You can hear my heart, it's just a suppressed desire. I won't change a little bit in the near future, but it won't be long before I change back. ”

The stables and Erlie, as well as the knife that has to keep up with everything since ancient times, the three of them found a field of flowers together, not a fragrant sunflower, but a simple sea of flowers.

Probably the territory of the flower demon, but it was too gentle, and even a little timid, and Irri cast her magic power several times, trying to call her out, but it never appeared: and the demon power in the flower field was very heavy, indicating that she was hiding in the flowers.

It was the first time since ancient times that the knife came to this place alone, and when he saw the endless sea of flowers, he couldn't suppress his curiosity about it, and looked around.

The previous starry sky made her very curious, such a scenery seemed to belong to the sky, but the sky could not show such beauty. Is that the world of youkai? Or is it the world of immortals?

"So, what do you think of the current situation, stableman? After five years of separation, the imperial court has also changed a lot. ”

"But you too... It is said to be rare, but the result is that it does not come for five years. ”

The two looked at the curious knife and observed the flowers since ancient times, exchanging information between the two.

"I'm solving my problems myself... That's what I am. ”

"It still doesn't solve the problem fundamentally... Sister Ellie. ”

Removing the crown of his head, the stableman shook his head as he placed it on the ground. Erlie shrugged her shoulders as well, signaling that she couldn't help it.

"I'm still a kid for non-humans...

That's not what I want to ask now, though, back to the point, stables. ”

"Okay, okay...

The current government is still controlled by the head of the Su family, Su Ma Zi.

King Harusebe has no strength to control the country at all, and he should be extremely dissatisfied, but he just didn't show it.

Monobe clan, Sister Ellie, you also know that the head of the Monobe family was killed by us, and the spread of Buddhism is also going on as scheduled. But the people who helped destroy the Ministry of Things' family made me a little strange. ”

"What's weird?"

"Soga Mako's wife is Buduhime of the Monobe family, and she was the one who helped us almost slaughter the forces of the Monobe family."

Erlie is undeniable, it feels normal, it's normal for a family to have a traitor or something. But then, it was a little unexpected.

"Buduji's daughter is Su My Knife since ancient times... And her brother is the monobe moriya of the monobe family. ”

“… Monobe Budu... It's a little ruthless..."

"I don't know what she's going to do... Her mind was very strange, on the one hand, she hated me and the people who supported Buddhism in the Soga family, and on the other hand, she hated the members of the Monobe family even more. How to make her such a contradiction? ”

"Maybe it's something she desires, is she prejudiced against Buddhism?"

“… She, like me, had a desire for immortality, perhaps because she knew that Buddhism did not help for that purpose. Buddha can save mankind, but he can't let ordinary people live for a long time.

… I'm interested in something called Taoism, and that's what I learned from..."

"Wait."

Erri interrupted the conversation of the stableman, her voice a little louder, and the attention of the knife from the ancient was also drawn to the two of them.

"Taoism? Taoism from the Sui Kingdom? ”

If I'm not mistaken, Shintoism developed from Taoism, and eventually derived from Onmyoji, exorcists will be replaced by Onmyoji, and the strength of youkai against humans will also be extremely reduced.

Although the majority of Japanese people have historically believed in Japanese Buddhism, Shinto and Onmyodo are still able to exert their power, and now they have more means to deal with yokai.

"Yes... The religion known from the merchants seemed to say that everyone could live forever. ”

"It's kind of interesting... What do you think about Taoism? ”

"I personally support the unification of the country and its disadvantages, but if it is promoted, I don't have any desire to support it, which is one of the reasons why I decided to split with the Monobe family."

The knife slowly walked in front of the two people who were talking seriously, and he didn't dare to make a loud noise, just looking at the two.

"It's also bad for me, a youkai... Taoist things are both good and bad things for youkai, but there are many bad things, and humans can grasp the power more quickly and fight against youkai, unlike the elite exorcists as the main body as now. ”

Erli thought about how bad this was for her and Purple, although youkai can also use Taoist things to cultivate, but, after all, they are not humans, and their understanding of some things is a little biased.

Maybe a realm monster like Zi can cultivate such a Dao technique, but it will also take some time to better master the power.

"At least we now have a common goal, don't we? Sister Ellie? ”

"Stables... You're trying to pull me into your camp... You'd better do what you're supposed to do, it's not a good choice to woo youkai. ”

……

……

……

"Riluoyuan? What do you want me to do? ”

Yakumo Zi didn't know where to get a copy of the Book of Changes, and it seemed that he had just opened it and was about to read it, when he was discovered by the Riluo Academy.

The girl looked a little anxious, and it seemed that something bad had happened.

"Yakumo Murasaki, where's Errito?"

"She's gone to find a human tonight, what?"

"A monster came in and asked for Elle by name, but we didn't have it here, and she didn't give us a chance to explain, so she just fought with us."

The girl remembered something and couldn't help but shake her body.

"I wanted to control her desires, but I found that her strength was so terrifying that she was able to break free from the desire line I grasped...

I don't know if she has any enmity with you or any story, but can you let Miss Elle go over and solve this problem! ”

"What does she look like?"

Yakumo Zi frowned, thinking to herself that there was no such person, and Erli would not directly provoke the youkai.

"With long green hair, the demon power has exceeded our expectations, and it can even wantonly attack us with the demon power as a carrier..."

"Oh, I know who it is..."

"Really? Can you fix this? ”

Ri Luo Yuan suddenly felt that she had grasped the straw that saved her life, but she didn't want to be a cactus that stabbed her, because after that, Purple followed with a sentence that shattered her hopes.

"No, you can't. Just wait for Leigh to come back, probably for a night. ”

"Huh?"

One night is enough for that youkai to tear it up!
