CH.13 The Monster in the Chain

The rapid breathing suddenly subsided, and Xiao Yin gasped for breath.

The figure in front of him, small, curled up like a frightened child. Less than ten meters beside her, a huge wild boar fell to the ground. A series of white foams came out of his mouth, and his limbs were already stiff.

In Xiao Yin's eyes, it exuded an ominous black aura all over its body, like countless tentacles entangled.

"Die, die, die............"

"It's okay, it's okay...... Everything will be fine, don't be afraid, Xiaoli, I will always be by your side. Hugging the figure tightly, Xiao Yin comforted her softly.

Why, why is this happening...... Didn't you swear an oath to protect her, not to let her be harmed, never to let her face this darkness alone.

'Broken her promise, really broke her promise!' Despite Xiao Yin's painful roar in her heart, her face was still so gentle. Hold her tightly and will hug the whole world.

The murmur in his mouth gradually subsided, and the extreme nervousness of his mind made Mo Li fall into a deep sleep.

............

With the opening of the cypress window, a touch of sunlight shines in the early morning outside the window, and the original haze in the interior is dispelled, and the brilliant light brings new vitality.

Sleepy stood up from the side of the bed, because of the night of guarding, Xiao Yin was already a little tired. Xiaoli on the bed hadn't woken up yet, probably because the fear in her heart hadn't faded yet, she curled up and held the quilt tightly in her arms.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Yin comforted her cheeks with some distress: "Xiao Li, soon, you will be able to go home soon." ”

............

"Thank you for taking care of you these days, today I prepared breakfast, I hope you like it. "Originally, breakfast and other things were prepared by those two couples, but today Xiao Yin prepared them before they walked out of the hut.

"Yes, then thank you......" expressionless, not even at all, the two couples sat down like this. For them, it's just a matter of eating as soon as possible and going back to their room...... Perhaps, that person didn't come, maybe he shouldn't have believed them!

Quietly exiting the hall, taking advantage of the short time they were eating, Xiao Yin sneaked into their hut.

'It's so suspicious, apart from eating and other necessary things, the couple hasn't been out of that room for four days!' she opened the door of the side room, and she saw an antique room...... On either side are several huge bookshelves, and in the center is a large desk, on which there are ink treasures and ancient books. However, it is the large desk in the room that is peculiar......

An incense burner was placed, and it was not a god, not a bodhisattva, not a ghost, but a dim piece of paper.

"Sure enough, there's something weird, this kind of thing?" picked up the ancient book and looked at it, and countless threads of cause and effect flowed in his eyes, looking along the entangled threads on this page of yellow paper. The future, the past...... All kinds of scenes are changing, showing a real scene in her eyes.

After a period of study, her 'Leaking Sky Eye' has been able to open freely to a certain extent.

On a ———— hot day, a scholar got lost in the woods, passing by an ancient temple deep in the forest. Inside were some broken things, a fan, some black strips of cloth, and a scroll of ancient books.

The scholar is a book lover, so it is natural to pick it up and watch it. The scrolls were filled with ghostly writing, like countless precepts. When he left, he took a fan and a page of ancient books.

After ———— left, the scholar didn't notice that in the original temple, a trace of black qi slowly overflowed.

I don't know how many springs and autumns, a small figure appeared in the dark, walking in this forest.

———— an ordinary family, originally happy and happy in a brand new house. The family is quite solid, and the members love each other, and everything seems to be so happy.

But, for some reason...... A deep mist filled the forest, and the strange sound of chains was frequent. The people in the picture gradually become abnormal, their smiles decrease, and the whole family is enveloped in a gloomy mood. They seem to have forgotten to laugh......

———— end, all the images return: a dark environment, a ruined temple.

"Really, wouldn't it be nice to take it out earlier!" With a foul grumble, Xiao Yin tore off a corner of the yellow paper and left while the two couples didn't come back.

............

"Kitten, remember this smell, and bring it here, it's in the depths of that forest!" Xiao Yin, who returned to herself, picked up the kitten, and then instructed carefully.

She knows that the kitten is very smart, must be able to understand, and will do it very seriously...... Although it seems that it and Xiaoli are always fighting, in fact, these two little guys are very good~

"Meow~~" stretched out her little paw and waved, she nodded fiercely.

Turned around and looked at the person who hadn't woken up yet, I don't know why, this guy always pestered himself when he was awake, and he felt very annoying, but looking at her lying down like this, I always felt a little uncomfortable~~ At this time, the kitten remembered the old man who always hugged him for no reason...... Perhaps, if you like yourself, you are also the person you like, and it will appear again!

Running out of Xiao Yin's arms, she jumped directly off the windowsill. After landing on the ground, the body was in a bunch, and it disappeared into the trees very quickly.

............

Time passed quietly, and the couple did not notice anything, and they remained like that, hiding in that room and not coming out. Xiao Yin was waiting, she knew that when the little guy hadn't come back and Mo Li hadn't woken up yet, she couldn't clean up that guy on her own.

The night of the sixth day

The night was filled with infinite mist

The strange sound of chains sounded again, and the thick fog had already gathered around, and it might be an exaggeration to not see five fingers, but it was undoubtedly impossible to see anyone ten steps away.

"Now, let's take out the yellow piece of paper with the precepts written on it. Otherwise, the misfortune will continue. Directly opened the door of the side room, Xiao Yin stared at the two people who seemed to be about to eat themselves.

"What are you talking about, I don't know what ancient books are. But if you don't close the door again, we'll die!"

"Trust me once!" Looking at these two guys who were about to make a move, Xiao Yin's face was as calm as possible.

"I don't know what you're talking about, get out of the way!!!" Reaching out to push Xiao Yin away, the middle-aged man with a look of shame was a little hideous.

"Pain...... If you do this, you won't be able to get rid of this nightmare for the rest of your life!" reached out and touched his buttocks, Xiao Yin's face flashed with joy.

"I don't care, now I have to close the door, I have to close the door......," muttered, a little terrifying in his crazy look: "If you are long-winded, don't blame me for being rude...... I shouldn't have trusted your !!"

"What do you want to do?" Looking at the dangerous light in the eyes of the two, Xiao Yin retreated cautiously but without fear.

"Let me be quiet for a while!" the faces were hideous, and the extreme fear made them lose their minds.

"Stop! Leave Xiao Yin and lie down. ”

A familiar voice came, wearing pajamas, Xiao Li, whose face was still a little bad, had woken up.

"What's going on, why can't I move?"

"What kind of sorcery are you!youkai!!" Lying directly on the ground, the two guys who were already a little confused roared loudly, the door, not yet. There is infinite terror in the darkness outside, faint ghosts, ringing chains............

"Close the door !!"

"Xiao Yin, are you okay. Ignoring the two, Xiao Li helped Xiao Yin who fell to the ground up.

"Of course it's going to be fine, it's just ...... Alas~~" Looking at the worried Xiaoli, Xiao Yin couldn't help laughing. Really, I was worried about her just now, but now it's the other way around~~~

"Close the door, you're going to die, you're going to die!!"

"No!" Xiao Yin broke free from Mo Li's embrace and said affirmatively to the two couples: "It will definitely not!"

“...... Do you know what that is in the deep forest? it is a waste, which only absorbs the joy of others and makes him melancholy. ”

Hearing this, the husband and wife's hideous faces changed, and they finally stopped talking.

"This ...... Is that so?"

"Yes, I'll fix everything!"

............................................................................................................

As the night deepens, the surrounding fog can even condense large droplets on the branches.

Several people stood in the open space in front of the room, and behind them, all the doors of the room were open. At the same time, Xiao Yin had already held the page of yellow paper in her hand, I don't know if it was an illusion, in the eyes of the two couples, there seemed to be a mysterious light enveloping the page of yellow paper.

"Really?"

It was as if the aura of ultimate fear had finally disappeared, and in the thick mist, the sound of chains was getting closer and closer.........

"Rest assured, everything will end here, and I have seen the final end!"

The sound of chains was so close that the tiny figure could even be seen through the mist.

"Hurry up, it's coming out!!"

"Are you really trustworthy?"

The two couples became more and more nervous as the figure approached, and their expressions could become incredulous, and they even wanted to flee into the room.

- "Yes, it will definitely end!" Xiao Yin shook Xiao Li's hand and said firmly.

With a "whoosh", a snow-white body with a lovely gray fluff like a leaf on the left corner of the eye......

"Meow~~~" strung into Xiaoli's arms, and the kitten comfortably rubbed her full chest.

"Ahhh~" Xiaoli touched the little guy's ears in disbelief, didn't this little guy not let himself hold it before?

"It's finally going to be over!" Xiao Yin smiled when she saw this scene, and took out the old book that the kitten was biting in her mouth: "Good job, I'll tell Sister Rin~"

"Meow~~~" raised his head proudly, and the little guy was proud~~~

A page of yellow paper that the two couples had gotten from them, a stump torn off by themselves, a tattered scroll.

"Arrest the inhuman!" combined, in a faint majestic golden glow, the page of yellow paper, the stump remerged like the tattered scroll. After becoming new and re-complete, the ancient scroll seems to have come directly from the distant years, without the slightest trace of the years.

Under the faint golden light of the scroll, the surrounding fog faded a lot.

A figure, dressed in a red robe with a bull's nose, landed on the ground with one foot on his shoe and the other hanging from his waist. Countless chains were wrapped around his body, and they tinkled non-stop.

Countless chains glowing with pale golden light emerged from the scroll, binding the creature and pulling it into the scroll.

"No, I don't want to go back there, I'm just looking for my fan!!!" it complained hoarsely, as if mourning for its fate.

Many years ago, he was suppressed in that ancient temple by a scholar with a code of precepts for stealing, but he often came to talk to him, and finally in the summer, he brought himself a fan. But...... It's been three hundred years, and I've been lonely for three hundred years, and I haven't seen that person again. He disappeared into the years, but he endured silent loneliness alone.

Perhaps, even if his sentence is over, he should not come out.

"No!!" let out one last roar as it was pulled into the book.

"Meow~~~" At this moment, the innocent little guy in Xiaoli's arms was also pulled in by that kind of chain~~

patted her forehead, Xiao Yin muttered with a headache: "Little guy, you can bear with it." ”

"It's going to be fine. Xiao Li looked at the kitten in his arms being pulled into the ancient scroll, and asked with some concern.

"No, it's not bad to let her be quiet~~~"

"That ......" hesitated, and the middle-aged man walked over. Because from beginning to end, there were no monsters in his eyes, only the suddenly reassembled scrolls, the strange dissipating mist, and the sudden miserable howl......

"What just happened?"

Raising the scroll of golden brilliance in his hand, Xiao Yin smiled loudly: "There will be nothing more, really!"

"Really?"

"Definitely, swear in the name of the Director!"

............................................................................................................

Noon the next day

"Remember, take your medicine on time in the future, it's a 'medicine' that awakens the emotion of being happy. Xiao Yin at the door instructed seriously.

"Thanks, we got it. "Although there were still some doubts in my heart, the richness of last night was indeed gone, and the sound of chains did not appear again. In this way, it must have disappeared, and its purpose has been achieved. But even after the knots that had been accumulated in their hearts for a long time disappeared, their mood did not seem to become happy, and they seemed to have really forgotten the emotion of being happy.

Xiao Yin didn't care about it, this is normal, I believe that in a month or so, they should be able to laugh.

"Xiaoli, we're going home!"

"Hmm~"

The leaves fell all around, and they finally went home.

............

After a while, it has been out of the realm of human vision.

Xiao Yin took out the ancient book in Mo Li's surprised gaze.

"Xiao Li, what is this? Oh, why are you knocking me???" In Xiao Li's surprised eyes, a monster with three heads appeared in front of their eyes. The forehead on the left side is engraved with 'Fa', the forehead on the right side is engraved with 'love', and the middle head has a scale on its forehead. His whole body was faint, not very real, but there was an unbroken righteousness on his face.

"You don't read at all!!" gave this guy a shock, Xiao Yin said angrily. "The 'waste' in the judgment. ”

"The trial begins. "The head in the middle.

"The sentence of three hundred years has expired, and the punishment of culpability is offset and can be released. "The head on the left

"Reconsider, stealing the village's grain is a big crime, but three hundred years of loneliness is enough to compensate for it, and it can be released!"

"Final Verdict...... Release. The scale on the forehead in the middle had been moved to the side of the scale, and finally decided.

"Trial kittens. ”

"Not guilty, no judgment!"

"Not guilty, it is recommended to be released as soon as possible!" the head on the right

"Final Verdict...... Acquittal. The scale had been tilted to the side of the scale, and the head in the middle finally announced. With the announcement of the final judgment, the three-headed executioner returned to the ancient scrolls.

The kitten and a guy with a bull's nose in a red robe came out of the scroll.

"This, what's going on?" Holding the kitten out of the string, Mo Li's face was slightly pale, but the curiosity in his heart couldn't help but ask.

knocked her little head again, Xiao Yin looked angry: "Really, I don't know such a simple thing, and the director will definitely knock you on the head when he comes back." This is the 'three-headed torturer', is the god of punishment who can see everything, its appearance, all because human beings like to put silk in the cemetery, and the silk is written with a lot of principles and precepts, after absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and being invaded by the aura, the three-headed torturer will be born in the world. ”

"Oh~~~ I see. By the way, how do you know?" Looking at that smug little face, Mo Li faintly felt like he wanted to kiss.

"Strictly speaking, the three-headed torturer should be positioned as a 'god', a little more advanced than a monster. Its biggest feature is that it has three heads, each of which will have its own opinion, but in the end, it is up to the decision in the middle. If you don't do anything hurtful to nature and reason, the three-headed torturer will never hurt the innocent, and he is a very principled monster. After saying a lot, she said: "This is a kind of belief god recorded in "Yuqing Experience", you really haven't read a book at all." ”

"It's okay, it's good if you don't see it!" grinning, as long as it's not that kind of dark environment, Mo Li will always smile like a child who can't grow up.

"Well, forget it. But you have to review it well when you go back~~"

"Meow~" The little guy in his arms also stretched out his soft little paws and patted Xiaoli's head, flashing big watery eyes and saying something, as if he was cheering for her~~

"Woo...... We actually want this little thing to teach a lesson, and we won't live anymore!!"

............

While the three little guys were cheering, the guy stood by a big tree blankly, looking at the two human girls in front of him who didn't care about him at all and the little cat demon in his eyes. The chains that tangle up and down the body are gone, and the movement can become more flexible.

So what?

At this time, it was also in a complicated mood, thinking that it would be imprisoned for countless years. But I didn't expect that it would come out in less than an hour, and even the chain that had been wrapped around me for three hundred years was taken back by the 'Three Gods'.

But where do you go from here?

"The ......"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" the three pairs of puzzled eyes stared at it together, and Xiao Yin said questioningly.

"What should I do?"

"Ahh

Well, it's understandable, but suddenly I got what I dreamed of, but I was a little at a loss.

"You can live freely, but you can't do bad things, try to stay away from human footprints. Saying this, Xiao Yin raised the scroll of precepts in his hand that had given birth to the 'Three-Headed Torturer': "Your name is engraved here, if you do something bad, it will directly detain you back." ”

"That's right......" looked confused, and it silently walked towards the deepest part of the forest. For some reason, looking at its figure, the two of them unconsciously felt a little sad.

Monsters, are they all so lonely?

"You're looking for this, I'll give it back to you. As if remembering something, Xiao Yin hurriedly took out an iron fan from the bag behind her and threw it over, "Don't disturb other people's lives in the future, you will unconsciously suck away other people's happiness." ”

"What...... Fan, my fan, the fan he left me!" asked suspiciously, but the scene in front of him made it smile happily for the first time.

"Woooooooooo......oo Found it, finally found it!" cried loudly and rubbed his face against the rudimentary iron fan. This guy who will always only absorb the happiness of others, but cannot feel happiness himself, feels his heart throbbing for the first time in his long life......

That fan is the last trace left by a person who has disappeared into the years!

- After three hundred years of loneliness, it approached there because of longing. It can't get close to there because of fear. More than ten years of wandering, more than ten years of waiting.
