I. Wheezing

"Who is Miss Red Moon?" Only Zhuge Xun and Ling were left in the hall.

Because of the coffee-like thing that I drank just now, the injuries on Ling and Kaoru's bodies are almost healed, but they are still mentally exhausted.

"The owner of the Red Moon Pavilion, as for the rest, I don't know very well. But...... Kate had said that Tsuki's abilities should be the same as Kaoru's, although this was just speculation. I'll take you upstairs to see the room, need a break. Ling stood up and motioned for Zhuge Xun to go upstairs with him.

"That guy is upstairs too?"

"Kate, you say? He should be in the library on the third floor. By the way, the entire third floor is a library, you can also go and check it out when you have nothing to do, almost all the books are available, but you just can't take them out of the library. ”

"Huh?" Zhuge Xun didn't understand what Ling meant.

"That means that all the books can only stay on the third floor, and cannot be taken anywhere else, not even the second floor. The moon cherishes them. ”

As he spoke, Ling had already led Zhuge Xun up the stairs to the second floor.

"That's, Ling. I just wanted to ask, are the wood materials that decorate the first floor a sacred tree - 'Spring Fantasy'? ”

"'Spring Fantasy'? What is that? This museum should have been built for a long time, and I don't know what these materials are, and I haven't heard of the 'Spring Fantasy' sacred tree you are talking about. However, the body of the person who stays on the first floor is relaxed, as if he is staying in the forest. ”

"'Spring Fantasy' is a legendary tree. Legend has it that a single tree can cover a mountain. Its leaves are perennially green and ...... in shape Oh, this is it! Zhuge Xun pointed to the carving on the handrail of the staircase.

"Oh......? How do you know? I don't even know. Only then did Ling know that the thing carved on the handrail was a leaf.

"This is the branch of the 'Spring Fantasy'." Zhuge Xun pulled off the hairpin that was decorated on his head and handed it to Ling.

Ling took the hairpin and looked at it: the hairpin was carved out of wood, and the pattern on it should be 'dragon', which could be seen to have been used for a long time, but when you held the hairpin in your hand, you could feel the qi it emitted, which was similar to when you stayed on the first floor.

"This is? How could you have it, didn't you say that the 'Spring Fantasy' was just a legend? Ling returned the hairpin to Zhuge Xun.

After taking the hairpin, Zhuge Xun put it on his head again.

"This is what my ancestors, that is, Zhuge Kongming once used. In the past, it was the handle of the ancestor feather fan, and later the ancestor told him to keep the handle of the fan before he passed away, probably because the fan was not easy to preserve, so he made it into a hairpin. Passed down to my generation. I knew that it was a branch of the 'Spring Illusion' because my Shikigami told me.

'Spring Illusion' is a sacred tree of purification, healing, and reincarnation, and the adult tree can purify all the filth in the world and protect living beings from the outside world. At the same time, it gives off a fresh scent that can make people feel refreshed. In addition, the juice of 'Spring Illusion' can also bring the people of Huangquan back to life...... But the method, because no one has really seen the 'spring fantasy', is also speculation.

The origin of the name "Spring Fantasy" is that "Spring" is because spring brings hope and new life to people, just like the power of trees. And 'phantom' is the name of a god who created and planted this tree. He manifested his power in the form of a tree to protect the living beings of the world. ”

"I see." Ling stroked the handrail of the staircase.

"And this staircase should be carved out of a whole 'spring illusion', and the furniture downstairs is also the branch of the tree, so I will feel very relaxed in my body and heart when I am below, and the injuries on your body and I are almost recovered. Where did the owner of the Red Moon Pavilion get the 'Spring Illusion'?! Zhuge Xun once again confirmed the unusual identity of the hall owner Hongyue.

"We're on the second floor."

As soon as Ling and Kaoru reached the second floor, all the candles on the second floor were lit.

"This is the ...... on the second floor" Zhuge Xun couldn't say what his impression of this second floor was.

Everywhere you look, it's covered in a 'leather'-like material. Except for the four sets of sofas in the cloister, the entire second floor is full of doors, and it seems that there are many rooms. Since the material on the first floor is a sacred tree, this 'skin' on the second floor should also be a special existence! There's no way to say exactly what it is......

"I have something I want to ask Mr. Zhuge about something."

"What's the matter? If I could answer you. ”

"Those ghosts on the battlefield are your Shikigami? What you just said about 'Spring Illusion' was told to you by your Shikigami . ”

"Not exactly. My main god is a four-way divine beast. On the battlefield, because of physical strength, there are just some demons and ghosts. ”

"Quartet Divine Beast?" Ling heard a very unfamiliar word.

"Oh, in our ancient China, people imagined that the four directions were guarded by four different divine beasts: the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu. The green dragon is the god of the East; The White Tiger is the god of the West; Suzaku is the god of the south; Xuanwu is the god of the north, and the turtle and snake are combined.

Thanks to my half-human, half-vampire body, I can summon up to four divine beasts, a hundred ghosts, and thirteen demons at the same time. Of course, it comes at a cost. Different summoning spells cost different things, but generally I use my hair. Zhuge Xun played with his long hair.

"I don't know a lot about China, but I think I have it in the library. Since we're friends, I'd like to know more about Kaoru. Ling asked tentatively. That...... Is it the one who turned Kaoru into a vampire? ”

"Don't worry, it's not your dad." Kaoru sat on the couch in the cloister on the second floor

"I didn't say he was my dad! I haven't admitted it yet! Ling just refused to admit it.

"Actually, I don't know who it is. At that time......" Zhuge Xun paused. "Forget it, let me tell you, it's nothing anyway. At that time, our family was ...... because of civil strife My father was the only one who escaped, my uncle and me, and I was 17 years old, the age I became a vampire. My uncle took me everywhere to escape from the pursuit of my family, and then Fang Liang set up a 'formation', so that those Shikijin and people who caught up thought that we had fallen off a cliff and died, so they escaped their pursuit. Wait in a secluded forest for the crisis to pass. Uncle was seriously injured in order to protect ordinary people, but I am still alive!

At this time, a vampire appeared in front of us, and he didn't know he was at the time, but he was not human. When he saw me and my uncle, he forcibly turned me into a ...... Subspecies, and the first person I killed was my uncle, who was seriously wounded! I'll never forget my uncle's eyes before he died, and the hateful look of that vampire! I swore I would kill him! I've been looking for him all these years, but I find that I can't seem to kill him, and no matter what, he's my 'master'. So I just hope someone can kill me. During this time, I avenged my father, so I should be the only one left in the family......

I was met by a vampire hunter during a 'hunt', and I thought I wouldn't survive, but he read my onmyoji ability, and in exchange, he buried a silver bullet in my heart to restrain my desire to suck blood, and I can usually eat normal people's food without fear of the sun. In this way, he left my life and the power of a vampire alive.

When I use my powers, one of my pupils is red and the other is cyan, and in this cyan pupil there is a six-pointed star array to control what I summon, which is what it is now. ”

Ling noticed that Zhuge Xun's pupils were brown now. "That's right. Mr. Kaoru is very powerful! ”

"Thank you."

Ling looked around the second floor. "We all live on the second floor, and the room on the second floor is a 'phantom', and if you imagine what the room looks like, it will be decorated. By the way, the one in the middle and the one next to it belong to Kate and me, and you can choose one of them, whether you want to live here or not...... Actually, I really want Mr. Zhuge to stay. ”

"Me too. Then I'll stay in the first room on the right, away from him. Kaoru pushed open the door to the room, and sure enough, there was nothing in the room.

"Then I won't disturb your rest for now." Ling closed the door to the room for Zhuge Xun.

…………

3rd Floor Library:

"Looks like that guy has stayed." Kate noticed that under the book she had written in the center of the building, there were only three candles, but now there was one more cyan candle. Mine is golden, Xiaoling is black, and Red Moon is red. However, there is a short part of the candle of the red moon left.

"It's Xiaoling outside the door." Kate put down the book in her hand.

Now that she found herself, Ling simply pushed the door in. "You ......"

"Are you concerned about me? Dear Ling! Kate picked up the cup on the crystal table.

"I ...... Maybe ......"

Kate smiled when she saw Ling's awkward appearance, got up and hugged Ling, and buried her face on Ling's shoulder: "Needless to say, I know everything." Xiaoling is really gentle...... Dad doesn't want to force Xiaoling to admit anything, it's just that everything needs Xiaoling to make decisions, and Dad, I will definitely support it fully! So...... Xiao Ling didn't do anything wrong this time...... After this incident, if Xiao Ling discovers something, it will also be Xiao Ling's own growth......"

Ling let Kate hold her. "I'm sorry about E."

Ling could feel Kate's body tremble when she mentioned Kate's former agent, 'E', the chief intelligence officer.

Kate kept holding Ling like this, and Ling rarely didn't push Kate away......

After a long time......

"Now, I said Xiaoling, haven't you taken a bath, it stinks!" Kate exaggeratedly jumped away from Ling's side.

"Huh? No, I can't! Kate, you bastard! Ling only then reflected that she was tricked by Kate.

"Haha, Dad, I'm going to find Xiaohonghong, Baibai." Kate had already left the library as she spoke, leaving Ling alone in a mess.

"I still haven't asked Kate what her relationship is with that E." Ling sat in the chair Kate had sat on, looking up at the room full of books. When Ling's hand touches the table of contents on the table, she finds that the catalog is stuck on the entry 'Kate Flyan'. Ling curiously pressed the 'confirm' button, and a book appeared on the crystal table in front of Ling.

I saw that the name of the book was 'Kate Flion'. When I opened the first page of the book, I saw that it read: "This book is the personal life of Kate Flion, and this book is not allowed to be read by outsiders except for herself and those she trusts." Please sign your name and a drop of your own blood at the bottom of this paragraph, and this book will open for you when your identity is confirmed. ”
