Chapter 321: Let's Just Say It
This time, because Natsuki didn't set up a barrier, Jiucheng Liang easily fell on his shoulder.
"Hmph." After feeling that he had fallen steadily, Jiucheng Liang raised his head and hummed softly.
The elders were a little surprised to look at Ryo Kujo and Natsuki with such a harmonious look, after all, in their impressions, it seemed that no one could get along so harmoniously with this little ancestor except for Hoshino Aihua. So these elders admired Natsuki even more.
The third elder saw that Jiucheng Liang was obviously in a good mood now, and he was immediately overjoyed: "That, Lord Natsuki, do you think you will rest at the shrine tonight?" ”
Of course, Natsuki has no opinion, he has never cared much about these. However, the three elders directly changed their words to call Xia Shu an adult, I don't know if Jiucheng Liang will be very unhappy, after all, the title of adult seems to have always been her exclusive one, if Xia Shu is also called an adult, isn't it suddenly that there is one more person competing with her for favor?
Tilting his head slightly, he felt that Jiucheng Liang was still happy, and Xia Shu showed a faint smile, it seems that this kitten is also very coaxing.
"Then I have to work for you." Natsuki carried a civet cat on his shoulder, followed the elders to the guest room on the side, and nodded slightly with the elders to express his gratitude.
The elders waved their hands again and again: "This is as it should be, Lord Natsuki has helped us so much, and we are already a little negligent in doing such a small thing." ”
"But it hasn't been dealt with yet." Natsuki reminded them with a smile.
The third elder hurriedly said, "We naturally believe that Lord Natsuki will definitely do what he says, so please call us as much as you like." ”
Natsuki smiled helplessly: "You really have confidence in me, but I will indeed do what I say." You don't have to call for anything, but now I want to know, when do you want to read the new clan rules? ”
"This," the Third Elder thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said, "Tomorrow morning." Our cat demon clan got up relatively early, and the new clan rules definitely need everyone to get used to for a while, so it is best to announce it early in the morning, so please ask Lord Xia Shu to revise the clan rules. ”
Natsuki nodded: "Yes, then I'll give it to you tomorrow morning, and when the time comes, I'll announce it directly." ”
"Well, when does Natsuki-sama plan to leave with Kujo-sama and Koihua-chan?" An elder suddenly asked.
"Of course, this is not certain." Natsuki thought about it and felt that Hoshino Aika and Ryo Kushiro might still have something to do, and it would be okay to wait until they were sure that they could go, and he didn't have anything important anyway.
In fact, Natsuki was completely wrong, Hoshino Aika and Ryo Kushiro couldn't wait to fly out of this mountain quickly, and if they knew that they could go out, they wouldn't want to stay here. Of course, that's another story.
"Ah," the elder touched his bare head, "I hope Natsuki-sama won't leave too much, we still want to have a drinking party." ”
Natsuki smiled and shook his head: "If you have a drinking party, you don't have to, after all, I'm going out, if Lianhua-chan and Jiucheng-chan get drunk, I'll be very distressed." ”
"That's right..." All the elders looked disappointed.
Knowing that the elders must have something to ask him for help, Natsuki nodded and said, "If you have anything, just tell me directly." "These elders probably wanted to ask Xia Shu for something at the reception, and Xia Shu was also very helpless.
"Eh," I didn't expect their thoughts to be seen through at a glance, the elders looked at each other, with a look of embarrassment with a capital letter, and finally the three elders "coughed" lightly, and looked around a little blankly: "Lord Natsuki, we want to know that, the eight-foot mirror fragment in your hand, are you of any use?" ”
Speaking of which, Natsuki hadn't seen how the magatama here was produced, so Natsuki didn't answer the question of the three elders, but asked with interest: "By the way, I really want to know how your cat demon clan produces so many magatama." ”
I didn't expect Natsuki to ask like this, the third elder was stunned for a moment, and then said a little nervously: "This, Lord Natsuki, I really can't tell you this." "After all, this is a major mission related to the cat demon clan.
"But didn't you agree to tell me about the relationship between your cat demon clan and the Yaqi Orochi? And it doesn't seem to be finished. Natsuki said innocently.
"Ahh The third elder suddenly realized this, and then stroked his beard embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, Lord Natsuki, we are also a little old, and sometimes we can't remember some things." ”
Obviously, he deliberately diverted the topic, and he didn't want Natsuki to know the details, but Natsuki still didn't expose it.
Jiucheng Liang flicked his tail a little impatiently: "Dead old man, this matter is not a very important secret, and it won't be good to say it, what are you doing hiding it like this?" "Smart as a civet cat, you can see the truth that these elders are deliberately concealing at a glance, and of course Jiucheng Liang also knows that Natsuki must have noticed the dishonesty of these elders. As the leader of the cat demon clan, Jiucheng Liang felt a little embarrassed.
"This," the third elder was embarrassed, and then hurriedly waved his hand: "Lord Natsuki, Lord Jiucheng, we didn't deliberately not say it." But he still glanced at it with a weak heart.
After appeasing Jiucheng Liang, who was still going to continue to blow his hair, Xia Shu smiled and motioned to the third elder to continue: "So can you say it now?" ”
The three elders were still a little embarrassed on their faces, and they looked at the elders around them, and they all turned their eyes away, looking like they didn't know anything. The three elders secretly rolled their eyes, this is the catastrophe coming, let's fly separately.
Anyway, their leaders have said that it doesn't matter, how can he, as a little elder, have the right to refuse? So the three elders really said it without reservation: "Lord Natsuki, in fact, the Yaqi Great Snake does not completely rely on our cat demon clan. ”
"Oh?" The corners of Xia Shu's eyebrows jumped slightly, and then he asked a little surprised, "Are there any other families?" ”
The third elder looked at the somewhat misty moon in the distance, as if he was recalling something: "Yes, in fact, it was the Royal Three Family that sealed the Yaqi Great Snake at the beginning, but after so many years, the Royal Three Family is also scattered." At least we can't find them at all now. ”
Natsuki nodded and muttered, "Yes, it was indeed the Imperial Three Family. The current three royal families have long been divided, and as far as I know, they should have been split into eight families. ”
"Eight families?" The third elder looked a little surprised, and then said: "No, there are only so many divine objects that seal the Eight Qi Great Snake, if one family is in charge of one divine object, how can they be divided into eight major families?" ”
Natsuki's understanding of the fetish is indeed not as clear as that of the cat demon clan, so he said, "What are the fetishes?" As far as I know, there are grass pheasant swords, eight-foot mirrors, and eight-foot Qiongqu jade. Could it be that there are others? ”
"No," the third elder also had a puzzled expression, "All I know is these three divine objects, unless," the third elder suddenly thought of a possibility, and Xia Shu also raised his eyebrows, probably guessed something, the third elder looked surprised: "Could it be that they also separated the divine objects?" ”
Natsuki pondered for a moment, feeling that this conjecture was more likely: "That's probably it, because isn't your eight-foot mirror here also broken?" It's also hard work for you to keep looking for the fragments of the eight-foot mirror. ”
"Yes," the third elder stroked his beard, frowning, with a headache on his face, "It seems that you really can't seal yourself in such a closed world." ”
"Hmph, dead old man, finally enlightened?" Jiucheng Liang turned his head and said that he was very disappointed in them.
The corners of the elders' mouths twitched, and Natsuki couldn't help but smile a little. Obviously, at the beginning, Jiucheng Liang was also very cold about opening the enchantment, but now it is all the fault of the elders.
Fortunately, the elders were also accustomed to Jiucheng Liang's temperament, and they didn't mind too much, so they all began to talk about it, saying that it was better to modify the clan rules. However, Natsuki could still see that they were still a little worried, but Natsuki didn't say anything, just smiled, one day, they would find out that this was a good change.
For example, the vitality of the world is almost zero, if the cat demon clan still stays in the enchantment like this, then it can only be said that it is waiting for death.
Although it is a bit serious, but when the day comes, it may be even more terrifying than this conjecture.
"So what is the purpose of helping Yaqi Orochi to do these things?" Natsuki didn't say anything more vaguely, and asked directly.
Elders, you look at me, I look at you, it's no surprise that Natsuki will ask this question.
After Jiucheng Liang heard Xia Shu ask this, he jumped off his shoulder directly, and then said lightly with a cat's step: "We actually don't understand what the purpose of the Yaqi Snake told the ancestors like this, so it's not that we don't want to tell you, it's just that we really don't understand." Jiucheng Liang knew that the elders really didn't know what to say at this time, so she simply left it to her to answer.
Natsuki frowned slightly: "So you don't even know the purpose of the Yaqi Great Snake?" ”
