Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino looked at Chiya with some dumbfounded, and the name Tamamo Mae undoubtedly touched their nerves.

"Qianye, isn't Tamamo already dead?" Mai Shiraishi looked at Qianye in surprise and asked with some uncertainty, obviously Mai Shiraishi didn't think about such a thing as the previous generation of nine-tailed foxes still alive.

Nana Hashimoto frowned at this time and said suspiciously: "No, Qianya! I've seen the phantom of her staying in 'here' before, and the woman next to you just now doesn't look like Tamamo at all! ”

With a wry smile on his face, Chiya beckoned to the three of them and motioned for the three of them to sit down, before explaining to the three of them, "Tamamo was killed by me and Harumi during the Battle of Nasuno, and I'm sure of that. But as a nine-tailed fox, whether she hid the means of resurrection, I have never been sure. Just like the last time she gave Mai-like fox tail incarnation method in 'here', the fox gives birth to nine tails, each tail can be turned into a clone, and each doppelganger can bring the nine-tailed fox back to life. ”

"So that means Tamamo hasn't died yet?" Nana Hashimoto didn't listen to Chiya's explanation, and guessed quite worriedly.

"No, she is indeed dead." Chiya shook her head, refuted Nanami Hashimoto's speculation, and looked at the puzzled eyes of the three people in front of her, and explained to them: "After the battle of Nasuno, the defeated Tamamo burned her entire soul to curse me, and this is the reason why I concluded that she was dead, and her soul had burned out. The last remnant soul is the remnant soul that was attached to Mai's body last time. ”

"And what happens to the woman you just met?" Mai Shiraishi heard that Qianya was sure that Tamamo was dead, so she let go of her worries, but asked curiously.

At the same time as Mai Shiraishi asks Qianye a question, Ruodie opens the door of the study and walks in with a plate of snacks and a pot of hot tea. After putting down the snacks and pouring hot tea for Chiya and Nanami Hashimoto, Ruodie bowed to Chiya and Nanami Hashimoto, exited the study, and closed the door.

"As I said earlier, a fox gives birth to a nine-tailed fox, and each tail of the nine-tailed fox can be turned into a doppelganger, which can be used to be reborn when the body dies." After taking a sip of tea from the teacup and moistening his throat, Qianye continued: "But like Tamamo did back then, I completely burned my soul and gave up the possibility of rebirth. After all, even the soul is annihilated, and there is no way to talk about rebirth. It's just that those separated clones also have the remnants of the separated souls, and these remnant souls are also likely to grow up and become new main souls after the main soul is destroyed. But the clone that grew up, although it can also inherit the name of Tamamo, is already a new youkai, not the previous Tamamo. ”

The three of them listened to Qianye's explanation, nodded a little as if they didn't understand, and then let go of the heart that had been hanging. The three of them, who hadn't eaten since the concert, were already a little hungry at this time, and looked at the snacks brought by Ruodie, so they all reached out and picked up the snacks, and while eating, they continued to talk with Qianye.

"Then according to Qianye, this woman who came to you is actually a doppelganger in front of Tamamo?" Nana Hashimoto took a small bite of the snack in her hand, carefully picked up the crumbs with her hands, and swallowed it before asking Qianye, "Then why did she come to you?" So much so that you quit the concert without even watching our concert. ”

Qianye looked at the three wives sitting in front of him, looking at his three wives with concerned eyes, hesitated for a moment, sighed and said: "It is a thousand-year-old covenant without war, a thousand years ago I signed a contract with the demons, ghosts, and tengu clans, and within a thousand years, the three clans must not cause harm to the world, interfere with the change of dynasties in the world, and cannot appear in front of humans in a big way." But now that a thousand years have passed, the demons, demons, and tengu clans are coming back, and the world will repeat the demonic chaos of the Heian period! ”

"What? Demon troubles! The news that Qianye said was beyond the imagination of the three of Hashimoto, and the three of them were immediately shocked. Mai Shiraishi was even more choked by the snack in her mouth, and hurriedly grabbed the teacup on the table and poured a sip of hot tea to help swallow, but her face was red from the tea.

Although Nanami Hashimoto was almost choked, she saw that Mai Shiraishi's face was red, and she hurriedly put down the snack in her hand, reached out and patted Mai Shiraishi's back to help her breathe. Nanase Nishino also hurriedly took out a tissue from his bag and handed it to Mai Shiraishi, wiping the water stains that overflowed from the corners of his mouth. After being busy for a while, Mai Shiraishi relieved herself, coughed a few times, and then asked Qianye, "Qianye, is this thing really fake?" The demon returns, repeating the demon chaos of the Heian period? ”

"A thousand years ago, after the Battle of Nasuno, I did sign this thousand-year covenant of non-war with the white fox kudzu of the demon clan, the Ibaraki boy of the oni clan, and the Atagoyama Taro bo of the Tengu clan, thus ending the demonic turmoil of the Heian period." Qianye had a wry smile on her face, this was the first time that Nanami Hashimoto had seen such a helpless expression on Qianye's face: "Now that a thousand years have passed, this covenant of no war has come to an end." ”

Nishino Nanase frowned at this time and asked Qianye, "But master, can't you sign this contract again?" On the demon clan's side, the white fox Ge Ye is still alive, and Mai is a new generation of nine-tailed fox, which should represent the demon clan, right? ”

Qianye shook his head, sighed and said, "If Aunt Ge Ye and Mai are on the demon clan's side, she can naturally sign a contract again on behalf of the demon clan." But Aunt Ge Ye has been sealed by me for 800 years, and Mai lacks enough prestige, even if she signs a contract, it is difficult to restrain those great monsters from thousands of years ago to abide by the agreement. What's more, I'm afraid that the ghost clan has been thinking about how to counterattack the human world for thousands of years, right? ”

"What about the dogs that day? Legend has it that after the death of Emperor Chongde, his resentment did not dissipate, and he didn't turn into a great tengu? The Tengu clan also wants to bring disaster to the world, right? Nana Hashimoto didn't see that Senya didn't mention the Tengu clan, so she asked him.

"I'm not worried about the Tengu clan." When Qianye mentioned the Tengu clan, he seemed less worried: "Most of the so-called Tengu are incarnated after the death of ascetic monks who practice in the mountains, and these practitioners are saved from falling into the four realms of hell, hungry ghosts, asuras, and beasts because of their Buddha nature, but they are not able to ascend to the heavenly path because they have no moral heart, and are eventually banished to the Tengu path outside the six realms of reincarnation. As for the Eight Great Tengu, the leader of the Tengu clan, except for the White Peak Sagami Workshop, which was transformed after the death of Emperor Chongde, the other Seven Tengu did not have any desire for the human world, otherwise they would not have signed this agreement a thousand years ago. ”

"What should I do now?" Mai Shiraishi's face was full of worry, and she suddenly remembered the big monsters of the Nine-Tails Group, so she said, "Do you need me to ask the monsters of the Nine-Tails Group to help?" They have more than a dozen big monsters here, and if they want to fight, they can help! ”

Looking at Mai Shiraishi's worried look, Qianye smiled with relief: "If there is really going to be a war, I will not ignore the Nine-Tails Group." But it's hard to say whether there will be a fight now, so let's get ready first. Nanasai and Nanami, the two of you have been trying to pay attention to your safety in the past few years, the thousand-year-old covenant of no war is approaching, and there will be a lot of demons running out to make trouble. ”

"Don't worry, master, how can I say that I am also your disciple, you have the true inheritance of yin and yang arts, and there are no demons!" Nanase Nishino said with a confident smile on his face as if he was trying to comfort Chiya.

Nanami Hashimoto looked at Qianye with some concern: "Nana Sai and Mai will take good care of themselves, you don't have to worry about this." It's just a thousand nights, will those demons come to you for trouble? ”

"Trouble coming for me? Hehe, if I don't bother them, they should thank the gods! The corners of Qianye's mouth brought a hint of disdain, revealing a strong confidence: "There are only a handful of demons in this world that can make me feel troublesome, and besides, they only bring me trouble. Nanamin, you don't have to worry about me, you just take care of yourself, and if you get into trouble, you can hide in this Taisha shrine. I believe that no youkai has the courage and strength to break into this Taisha shrine. ”

After Qianye finished speaking, he handed a box that was originally placed on the bookshelf to Nanami Hashimoto: "This is a birthday gift from Mai Xiang to you before, I processed it." Nanamin, you remember to wear it with you, and don't take it off if anything happens. ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't take the box handed over by Qianye, and after opening it, he saw that the pendant that Mai Shiraishi gave him on his birthday didn't seem to have changed, but there was no white gas and the coldness of the tentacles on it, and I don't know if it was his own illusion, Nana Hashimoto didn't find that the blue gem on the pendant that seemed to be condensed by ice and snow seemed to have become more round and transparent, smooth and restrained, and the size seemed to have shrunk a little.

"Qianye, can you help me put it on?" Nana Hashimoto took the pendant and turned her back to Chiya: "I want you to help me put it on with your own hands." ”

Chiya took the pendant, unfastened the lock, and passed the pendant through Nanami Hashimoto's chest and put it around her neck.

Nana Hashimoto didn't ** the pendant on her chest, and reluctantly glanced at it a few times before she put it into the collar and put it on carefully. Holding down the pendant with her hand, Nanami Hashimoto looked at Mai Shiraishi and asked her, "Mai, what the hell is this pendant?" It shouldn't be a simple gemstone pendant, right? ”

Mai Shiraishi heard Nanami Hashimoto ask this, so she turned her gaze to Chiya, not knowing if she should tell Nanami Hashimoto the truth.

Qianye looked at Mai Shiraishi's pleading gaze and nodded at her. Receiving the affirmative look of the thousand nights, Mai Shiraishi then opened her mouth and told the truth to Nanami Hashimoto: "This is a snow girl who has reached the level of a great monster that the Nine-Tails Group captured in Hokkaido, and then extracted the essence condensed by the power of her whole body, as long as Nana Min you fuse this essence, you will be able to get the power of this snow girl, become a big monster, and live for thousands of years like me." I want Nanami to be with me forever, instead of becoming an old woman after a few decades and leaving me alone in this world! ”

"Mai-like!" Nana Hashimoto didn't finish listening to Mai Shiraishi's explanation, her lips trembled twice, and finally she didn't say anything, so she hugged Mai Shiraishi and let her tears stay in her eyes.
