Chapter 64: The Monster Museum

"Of course, the Yokai Museum!" Hikari grinned, "The smell of youkai." ”

Sure enough, she saw the youkai.

The nine-colored red mane exploded, the girl screamed, and Qin Beiyang helped her not to fall.

Strictly speaking, what she saw was the corpse of a youkai.

A huge youkai with a huge head, a blood-red face, a bare head, and only a few short hairs. With five horns, fifteen eyes, and a fur tied around its waist, it was definitely a terrible evil spirit.

"This is a drunken boy."

The old woman explained miserably behind them. Light patted his heart and said, "No, mother-in-law, isn't the drunken boy the most beautiful man in the world?" ”

"The drunken boy is an evil ghost, he just transforms into the form of a handsome young man, and seduces a beautiful virgin like you......" The old woman smiled and stroked her bare cheeks, "and eat them again!" ”

The light shrank behind Qin Beiyang, and Jiu Se crouched on the ground, staring at the old woman.

The next monster, the upper body is a naked beauty, whether it is the chest or the face, there is nothing to say, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. As for her lower body, it was actually a golden fox with nine tails, emitting a strong fox smell.

"In front of the nine-tailed fox Tamamo?"

The old woman nodded and said, "Sister, you are so smart! ”

"Actually, this nine-tailed fox was originally from China, and Daji in "Fengshen Bang" is her."

"This monster specialized in turning into a beautiful woman to seduce the king, and was later killed by Abe Harumi. Therefore, the monster museum must be opened after the tomb of Lord Abe Harumi, so that the blessing of the onmyoji can suppress the evil spirit of these monsters and prevent them from causing chaos in the world. ”

"I heard that Abe Harumi's mother was a white fox, and he raised Abe Harumi until he was five years old."

Qin Beiyang deliberately interjected, not letting the light pay attention to be hooked by the old woman.

The third youkai is, as expected, the Great Tengu, the head of the three major yokai in Japan.

The corpse of the tengu had shrunk away, and only a skeleton and skin were left, and a large red face, a tall, straight nose, and a gibbon-like body could still be seen, which should have been extremely tall. Next to it are fans, mallets, monks' robes, and high-toothed clogs......

Just watched it with relish, no longer had the initial fear, but pestered the old woman to ask this and that. The next room grew darker and darker. Nine-colored glass-colored eyeballs that glow green.

She saw a woman.

A naked woman, with shriveled skin, resembling a dried corpse, but with big breasts and a swollen belly, like a pregnant woman with Rokka? What kind of monster is this? Only then did the light discover that the woman had the wings of a large bird on her back and the lower half of her body was covered with feathers.

The old woman put her arm around the bare shoulders and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, she is a bird." ”

"Gu Yu Bird?" Qin Beiyang remembered, "There are in ancient Chinese books, also known as 'Night Wandering Girl', 'Heavenly Emperor Girl' or 'Ghost Bird'. Gu Shou bird is transformed by the ghost of the mother, often active in the summer night, put on feathers to become a bird, take off the feathers and become a woman, the most love to steal other people's children to raise. ”

Hikari's lips trembled and asked, "Will she come and steal me?" ”

"No, she's dead, it's the body of a youkai."

"Do youkai die?"

Qin Beiyang asked. The old woman replied gloomily, "Yes!" ”

They saw a fifth youkai.

It looks like a three- or four-year-old child, covered in hard scales, soaked in a large glass vat, like a stillborn child soaked in wine. It has a beak, frog limbs, a monkey body, a turtle shell, and a small saucer on top of its head. It has four pairs of fangs in its mouth, thin arms and legs, and only four fingers, and is webbed. Qin Beiyang lay on the side of the glass cylinder and looked closely, and there were still three anuses.

"Is that what it is...... Kappa? ”

Hikari was dumbfounded, and the old woman smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this is the corpse of the youkai kappa." ”

The little girl then asked, "There are youkai everywhere in the world, right?" ”

"Well, there are too many youkai. However, one of the most powerful youkai is hiding in the ancient tomb. In Japan, it is almost impossible to see it, but there are many more in China. It's called the Grave Beast. ”

After the old woman finished chattering, she looked at Jiu Se with a smile, and stretched out her hand as dry as a tree root to caress the young beast.

Just as Qin Beiyang was about to pull Jiu Se away, it opened its mouth fiercely and bit off the old woman's two fingers.

The light began to scream, and Qin Beiyang was also terrified—the nine colors never bite!

However, the old woman did not fall, and even the wound did not bleed, and from the original broken palm, two new fingers grew—and they were as white and tender as a girl.

She held out her other hand to the Nine Colors. The small-town grave beast was not polite, and simply ate her entire hand. As a result, the old woman grew a novice, smooth as mutton fat and white jade, like a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Then, with a smile, the old woman put her head in front of the nine colors.

Just as Jiuse was about to bite off her head, Qin Beiyang suddenly dragged it back. Once the nine colors bite off the old woman's head, she will grow the head of a young girl and restore the appearance of a young cardamom!

The old woman is the sixth youkai in the Yokai Museum and the only one alive.

"Why don't you bite me?"

She stretched out the girl's hand and rushed towards Qin Beiyang and Jiuse, the twelve-year-old light screaming.

Suddenly, many vines grew around the room, binding Qin Beiyang and Light firmly. The old woman's hair stood on end, gradually turning into spreading roots, like three thousand threads of trouble, covering the whole room, from the doors, windows to the ceiling......

The town's grave beast began to vomit, rolling on the tatami mat in pain, spitting out what it had just bitten off, and it turned out to be a filthy and filthy mass that turned into centipedes and earthworms and burrowed into the cracks.

The nine colors transformed, snow-white antlers grew on the top of their heads, and the white hair turned into bronze scale armor, and in this dark environment like a dungeon, it was restored to the tomb beast of the young Qilin Town.

The old woman monster looked at it, and his eyes flashed greedily: "You are the tomb beast!" I've been waiting for a full nine hundred years...... I'll wait for you to eat you and me, wait for you to make me a girl, wait for you to take me away...... I want you! ”

I don't know how old the old monster is, frantically pounced on the nine colors, just like a lover in a previous life. Although she was old, her movements were like lightning, and she rode on the back of the tomb beast, and put her head to the mouth of the nine-colored, trying to make it eat herself!

Qin Beiyang struggled desperately, but it was difficult to escape the hard vines, and he tied it tighter and tighter in vain.

"I want you...... I want you...... I want you ......"

The old woman rode on the Nine Colors and murmured, her voice getting stronger and stronger, and she was getting younger and younger. In the end, she became a girl's coquettishness, and no one could resist it. Seeing that the tomb beast was about to eat her, Qin Beiyang shouted wildly, "Don't", once the nine colors ate this monster, it would be like swallowing the poison accumulated for hundreds of years, but it would damage the organs and functions of the tomb beast. And the fresh beauty head, once it replaces the old woman, I don't know how many men will be killed by making waves?

Suddenly, in the secret room of this monster museum, a real little girl's singing voice came out—

あるはなくなきは数そう世の中に

あわれいづれの日まで歎かん

The melodious sound pierces through the walls and roofs, blending with the snow of the first month of the old calendar, and seems to summon the soul of Haruaki Abe, who is sleeping at the gate.

It is an ancient waka with five verses and thirty-one syllables, arranged in the order of five-seven-five-seven-seven. Qin Beiyang actually understood the general meaning-

In this world where the living say goodbye forever and the number of the dead increases, when will you die?

The old woman and the monster immediately fell into deep thought, as if moved by the song......

She muttered: "I'm not a monster, I'm originally from China, and Xu Fu is one of the three thousand boys and girls who traveled east to Japan. I am the maid beside Lord Xu Fu, who secretly swallowed his elixir of immortality and cultivated a thousand-year-old immortal body. ”

"Three thousand boys and girls, and there are still people living in this world?"

In fact, Qin Beiyang didn't believe it at all, this was a "good background" woven by the monsters for himself, just like the monsters in "Journey to the West" were all small pets that escaped from the Buddha and Bodhisattva.

"The sun in the east, the son of the other, is in my room. In my room, I am in my room. The moon in the east, the son of the other, is in my place. In my, I am shy. ”

In order to prove that she was from China, one of the three thousand boys and girls led by Xu Fu actually read a poem in the "Book of Songs: Qi Feng", using the rhyme of the Qin and Han dynasties, Qin Beiyang could barely understand it, and the light was in the clouds.

"Nine hundred years ago, a little girl roamed Kyoto and met Haruaki Abe. Although I have lived for a thousand years, I know for the first time - love. The corners of the old woman's eyes and eyebrows revealed the shyness of a girl, "And to Lord Qingming, I am a thousand-year-old banshee!" The Onmyoji was supposed to exorcise demons and straighten out, how could he fall in love with me, a monster who is neither a shemale nor a demon, and is immortal? ”

"Mother-in-law, I am going to cry when you say it......"

Twelve-year-old light, a little girl in the end, has been moved to tears.

"Lord Harumaki Abe, out of affection, out of courtesy, throughout his life, we have not been able to act as husband and wife. When he was dying, he told me that once an immortal woman falls in love with a man, her thousand-year-old path will be broken, and she will grow old slowly. Nine hundred years later, there will be a young tomb beast from the Tang Dynasty, accompanied by a Chinese boy and a Japanese girl. Only the two of you can give me a second youth. ”

"And then, you're getting old?"

"My sister just sang the song "I don't know the title", written by the poetess Ono Komachi, and I sang it to Harumi myself. When I heard this song, I suddenly looked back and realized that I had untied the knot. The living should say goodbye forever, but the departed are eternal underground. Why covet the fleeting youth? Even if you live for 2,000 years, can you get a man who loves you with all your heart? Why don't you go back! Why don't you go back! Sister, thank you. ”

The old woman elegantly speaks the language of the Heian period and falls into the attachment and nostalgia for the onmyoji Harumi Abe.

Suddenly, the snow-white antlers of the young Qilin Town Tomb Beast, like a sharp sword, quietly pierced her heart.
