【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.

The snow is falling, the north wind is howling, and the sky and the earth are all the same.

This is half an hour.

Although the torch in his hand can provide a little heat, although the big tree at the entrance of the village can also avoid the direct invasion of wind and snow, although the villagers themselves have suffered for more than ten or even dozens of years of cold and heat-

But now, all of them couldn't help but shiver a little, both because of the cold of the outside world, and because of the cold of the hearts caused by the uneasy fear in their hearts.

It was only in order to be able to see the Onmyoji come back with their own eyes, and to see that there was still hope for the future of the village, that they had been persevering outside, and even if the women of the family came to call a few times, they did not turn around and leave.

"Hey, Zao Maro, you see, your eyes are the best, is that Onmyoji-sama?"

A villager was sharp-eyed, and finally saw a small black dot at the end of the white expanse in the distance, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise. The villagers immediately began to stir up, and eagerly discussed with each other, as if the cold had been dispelled at once, and they were near the fire of the flood.

The old man, whom the villagers called "Zamaro", tried to keep his eyes open, trying to see the true face of the little black dot at the end of the snow.

"It seems to be a horse, it should be Onmyoji-sama!"

As the old man in the village, who was recognized as the best-eyed, said such a sentence, everyone couldn't help but cheer in a low voice.

However, they soon realized that something was wrong, because as the little black dot slowly approached, they all saw a young man in strange clothes leading a horse slowly out of the depths of the vast blizzard, and approaching the village step by step.

“……”

“……”

They all recognized the only skinny horse in the village, and almost all the villagers couldn't make a sound as if they had been stuck in their throats. It was only at this moment that they deeply felt the bitter cold of winter, and their whole bodies were like falling into an ice cellar, so stiff that they could no longer move.

Onmyoji-sama must have had something wrong, so he wasn't able to come back.

And the young man in front of him, who was slowly approaching, dressed strangely, walked over in the depths of the snow, but there was not even a single flake of snow on his body, and he did not behave in the cold of ordinary people...... I'm afraid it's a humanoid demon.

Naturally, there are no more than a dozen male villagers in a village, in fact, those who can appear here at this time are the ones who have a relatively strong voice in the village on weekdays. Compared to ordinary villagers, they are not well-informed, but at least they know some of the mysteries of the higher level.

Besides, in the past, I had heard the onmyoji mention some words, and at this moment, they naturally thought of it, and they suddenly scared themselves one by one.

"That's- good afternoon? Good evening? ”

Mu Xiu approached the village at the foot of the mountain, and saw more than a dozen villagers holding torches who were looking at him in a daze, and immediately greeted him heartily, but he looked up at the sky, and he was a little unsure of what time it was.

The villagers were dumbfounded and didn't speak, but Mu Xiu didn't think much about it, just said quickly:

"What, the poor monk is from the Eastern Soil University...... Ahem, sorry, sorry, for a while. I am a traveler passing through this place, and the wind and snow are very urgent, and I want to spend a night in your place, I don't know if the host's house is convenient? ”

“……”

“……”

There was no answer, and there was silence, except for the whirring of the wind, and the occasional sound of branches breaking and collapsing in the distance.

Mu Xiu blinked, thought about it, and decisively changed his statement: "The snow is deep at night and the wind is strong, it is inconvenient to hurry, and there are many fierce beasts in the wild, grinding their teeth and sucking blood, killing people like numbness, and they are terrified in my heart......"

"Roar—"

Before he could finish speaking, a terrifying roar came from the violent blizzard behind him.

Immediately afterwards, everyone felt that the ground under their feet was trembling slightly, as if there was a terrifying giant beast weighing dozens of tons, which was roaring and charging this way, which made people feel desperate just by imagining it.

"Alpaca! One warning, next ban!! ”

Mu Xiu, who was interrupted from speaking, suddenly pulled off his face unpleasantly, he turned around and roared angrily, and at the same moment, an indescribable momentum emanated on him.

Even if that feeling was not directed at him, it also made the villagers' heads blank, and almost all of them couldn't help but sift the chaff like gold paper, and they were sweating like pulp in this cold winter. Even the skinny horse next to him screamed, and his legs went limp and fell to his knees on the snow.

Trembling, sincere fear.

The roar in the distance stopped abruptly, and then some kind of whimpering sound was heard, and it quickly disappeared. It sounded like a stray dog had been kicked and whimpered and ran away, as if the unknown thing quickly turned around and ran away.

Turning back again, as if nothing had happened, Mu Xiu coughed lightly, his eyes were serious and his words were earnest-

"That's it, it's too dangerous to rush in the wild at this time, and if you're not careful, you'll encounter fierce beasts and monsters. As you can see, if you encounter such a situation, you will be buried in the belly of the beast, so I hope to stay in the local area for one night......"

No, no, no, that's not what we're seeing.

“……”

“……”

The villagers, who had finally regained their ability to think, swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and they didn't know what to do in the face of this kind of guy who was talking nonsense with his eyes open.

……

……

A quarter of an hour later.

"Thank you so much, it's so much warmer......"

Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Mu Xiu looked at the fire pit in front of him—a boxy pit dug in the middle of the floor, surrounded by stone circles on all sides—and the raging flames burning in it, clapped his hands, and said with a smile.

Although body temperature was no longer necessary for him, the biting winter cold was not a problem for him, and it did not make him feel that there was anything he could not bear. However, not being uncomfortable does not mean that it is comfortable, and the pursuit of a more comfortable environment is the common characteristic of all living things.

"It's good if the big and adults are satisfied......"

The middle-aged man who was waiting for the fire pond and trembling with firewood shook his hand, and then tried very hard to squeeze out a smile, which was more ugly than crying.

……

Several people outside the house had ugly faces, and someone lowered their voices and said, "Just let him live like this?" There won't be any problems, right? ”

"Is there any other way to do it? This, this...... People are not something we can fight against! The other replied.

"Yes, yes, you heard that sound just now, it is clear...... It's the one nearby! The previous Onmyoji was bitten to death by it......"

The person who said this was speechless, I don't know if it was because the weather was too cold, or because his mind was still partially stuck in what had just happened, anyway, he was trembling when he spoke.

"The current Onmyoji-sama...... When he heard it, he could only hide the village by raising the barrier, but he was scared away just now......"

“……”

“……”

"How can there be any Onmyoji-sama, there must be something wrong with Onmyoji......-sama," the old man before sighed, "If it goes on like this, it will be difficult for us to survive this winter, at least this ...... This man is not very vicious, and he seems to be able to speak......"

"Wait, are you going to let him come...... Come ......" said in a hurry, but his tongue was knotted at the end, and he didn't know how to speak.

"What's this, many villages are actually like this, and not all villages happen to have shrine maidens or onmyoji, and not all youkai and ghosts can only eat people...... If we can let a powerful youkai protect our village through offerings, everyone will be able to accept it! ”

"But what if he asks us to offer him a living man?" Someone still disagrees.

"That can only be dragged on for a while, you can't tear your face with him now!" The old man sighed again, "Although we are close to the capital, we are still a small place after all, even if those nobles and nobles will really send troops over, they will have to wait until the winter is over, and the road will open ......."

"By the way, make maro...... The one in your family, didn't she say that she was the reincarnation of a god and Buddha, and she had grown up in only three months, can she ......?"

Someone seemed to have thought of something, and said with hope at this time.

The old man smiled bitterly: "Although it is said that he is reincarnated as a god and Buddha, isn't he still a mortal after being reincarnated?" Besides, she didn't come from me, and I really can't ask her to do anything—let's go talk to this one first and see what he wants to do. ”

……

Mu Xiu in the room narrowed his eyes slightly while stretching out his hand to bake the fire.

I always feel that I have heard something that people care about very much, is it possible that I am really so lucky? As soon as you enter this world, you just happened to encounter the plot of this point in time and place?

But in this case, the timeline can probably be determined, it should be at least a thousand years before Gensokyo was founded, right? After all, the story line of "Taketori Monogatari", which seems to be in this world, takes place at the end of the Asuka period and the beginning of the Nara period.

Probably 1,300 years before the modern day in which he lived.

However, after unfolding the wide-area fuzzy sensing ability, Mu Xiu was not able to capture any special aura in the vicinity as he wished, and when he hesitated slightly, the old man who seemed to be Taketori Weng had already walked in from outside the door.

"I'm sorry that the guests came from afar, and the hospitality was not good, but there is something I really want to take the liberty of asking......"

"Well, old man, please." The corners of Mu Xiu's mouth twitched, and the eyes of the old man in front of him became strange.

Wait, is this kind of crepe rhetoric because of the cultural cultivation of the old man in front of him, or because of the translation problem of the "main god" light ball?

Could it be that the other party just wants to be polite, and the big ball of light is directly translated into an archaic format because of the times, right?

Speaking of which, this translation problem really needs to be complained about.

The translation mechanism of the Great Light Sphere follows a very simple rule, that is, to make Mu Xiu able to understand any language spoken by other people, and to ensure that the language spoken by Mu Xiu can be understood by anyone else.

Therefore, now Mu Xiu feels that he is speaking fluent ancient Japanese, and the other party is speaking a full Chinese dialect. And this situation is common when he communicates with people from any country.

Anyway, in Mu Xiu's ears, it is basically that both of them are speaking the language of the other country.

"That's right, about the horse you brought, my lord...... Excuse me, this ......" the old man hesitated, as if he was considering how to ask better.

"Oh, this one, I picked it up on the road when I came over, and it was running in the direction of this village in a panic, so it brought me here." Mu Xiu replied half-truthfully, with a natural expression, "Except for the horse, I didn't see anyone else along the way." ”

“…… Is that so? The old man was slightly stunned, and then showed a look of mourning.

At this time, Mu Xiu hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask: "What is the name of the old man?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "My name is Sanuki Zomaro......"

“……”

Without any look of surprise, Mu Xiu had a completely "sure enough" expression on his face. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
