Chapter 47: Tamamo or White Stone

"What's the story of the legend that the great onmyoji Abe Harumi turned into a killing stone before he captured and killed Tamamo?" Nana Hashimoto looked inquisitive at this time, eager to know the truth of history.

"Xiaobai's mouthy fox should have told you the story between me and Tamamo, right?" Qianye picked up the teacup and used the tea to moisten her thirsty throat.

Nana Hashimoto nodded, added a cup of tea for Qianye and said: "Xiaobai said that Tamamo and Abe Haruaki's mother, the white fox kudzuba, are good friends, and they were entrusted by the white fox kudzu to visit Abe Haruaki in Kyoto, and I saw you for the first time at Abe Haruaki's house, and I hope to unite with you and give birth to offspring." After saying that, Nanami Hashimoto's face couldn't help but turn red.

Qianye glanced at Nanami Hashimoto, smiled and said, "It seems that that little fox still doesn't know a lot of things." ”

"Huh? Are there any other stories in this? Nana Hashimoto said in surprise as she covered her mouth.

Qianye nodded and continued to tell the story: "It wasn't the first time I saw Tamamo, or the first time I saw Tamamo, but it wasn't the first time I saw the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. ”

Nana Hashimoto was not confused by Qianya's words, and asked puzzledly: "Qianya said that it was the first time she saw Tamamo, and then she said that it was not the first time she saw Tamamo, what is going on?" I'm all confused by you. ”

"If ordinary people don't know the true appearance of the nine-tailed demon fox, it's really easy to be confused." Qianye didn't wonder about Nanami Hashimoto's doubts, and explained: "Actually, it is not accurate to say that Jiang Ziya did not kill the nine-tailed demon fox, Daji was indeed killed by Jiang Ziya, but the nine-tailed demon fox still exists. You can understand that Daji is the soul of the nine-tailed demon fox, and the nine-tailed demon fox is Daji's body, Jiang Ziya killed the soul named Daji, but he couldn't destroy the body named the nine-tailed demon fox. ”

"Huh! Is that actually the case? Then the later Tamamo was not actually Daji? How did the nine-tailed demon fox become before the tamamo? Nana Hashimoto didn't listen to Chiya's explanation, not only did she not understand, but she was more confused.

"Nanamin, you got it wrong, it's not the nine-tailed demon fox that turned into Tamamo, but the nine-tailed demon fox that Tamamo turned into a nine-tailed demon fox." Qianye patiently explained to Nanami Hashimoto: "The nine-tailed demon fox is a creature born from the convergence of yin qi between heaven and earth, but it has no consciousness and body of its own, just a force. It attaches itself to women with special personalities, and these women are affected by it, so they turn from ordinary people into nine-tailed demon foxes. After the body as a carrier is killed, this force will choose a new carrier, so the yin qi is endless, and the demon fox is immortal. Daji was only the first person to be affected by it and turned into a nine-tailed demon fox, and the later princess Hua Yangtian and Yuzao of the Banzu prince of the Mojituo Kingdom all became nine-tailed demon foxes in this way. ”

"Is that so?" Nanami Hashimoto suddenly remembered Mai Shiraishi in the hospital, and her face suddenly changed: "Is that Mai like its new carrier?" No, let's hurry up and save Mai! With that, he got up and rushed to the hospital.

Qianye grabbed Nanami Hashimoto and comforted her: "Don't worry, even if you are possessed by it and become a nine-tailed demon fox, Mai is still the Mai you know, but she has changed from a human to a nine-tailed demon fox, and she herself will not change." What's more, I'm not sure if Mai will turn into a nine-tailed demon fox. ”

"That's why you're asking me what I'm going to do if Mai becomes a youkai?" After Nana Hashimoto was not stopped by Chiya, she heard him say that Mai Shiraishi would be fine, so she slightly let go of the worries in her heart.

"Yes, although Mai Shiraishi's transformation into a nine-tailed demon fox will not affect her soul and personality, but becoming a monster from a human to a monster will be more or less different." Qianye hugged Nanami Hashimoto in his arms again: "Although I can't be sure if that magatama is a killing stone, you are still mentally prepared to have a youkai friend in the future." ”

Hearing Qianye say this, Nana Hashimoto replied seriously: "Whether Mai is a human or a monster, as long as she is still her, she is my most important friend Nanami Hashimoto." ”

"Nanamin, if you say that, I'm relieved." Qianye also seemed to let go of her sorrow and breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this time, Nanami Hashimoto suddenly remembered that Xiaobai had told her that during the Battle of Nasuno, Qianye suffered a curse, so he asked: "Qianye, I heard Xiaobai say that you were cursed after the Battle of Nasuno, is it related to Tamamo Mae?" ”

Chiya's body stiffened, and she shook her head silently, as if she didn't quite want to answer the question. However, Nanami Hashimoto grabbed her sleeve and asked, "What the hell is going on, Qianye, can you tell me?" ”

Chiya couldn't stand Nanami Hashimoto's request, and finally spoke: "At the end of the battle of Nasuno, Harumi and I had already sealed Tamamo Mae, but before she was sealed, she burned her soul and all her power to curse me, and everyone who truly loves me will be beheaded by me." ”

"Is there a way to lift this curse?" Nana Hashimoto looked at Chiya worriedly.

Qianye smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, Tamamo left a way to lift the curse when he cast this curse. ”

Hearing Qianya say this, Nana Hashimoto's eyes suddenly widened in surprise: "What kind of method is that?" There is a way to lift the curse, Thousand Nights, why haven't you lifted this curse for a thousand years? ”

"Because the way to lift the curse is for me to combine with Tamamo Mae." The bitterness on Qianye's face was even worse: "She cast a curse on everything she burned at the last moment, and her body turned into a killing stone because of it, so there is no way to solve the curse." ”

"Huh? It's actually this kind of ......" Nanami Hashimoto's face suddenly became embarrassed, but she thought of another possibility: "Then if Mai becomes a nine-tailed demon fox, will you combine with Mai?" ”

Chiya reached out and pressed Nanami Hashimoto's head, interrupting her delusion: "Even if I can lift the curse, I won't do it." Besides, I already have a clue about lifting the curse, so don't worry about it. ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't see Senya decisively reject her proposal, and she didn't care, but secretly wrote down this idea in her heart.

————————————————————————

The next morning, Mai Shiraishi in the hospital woke up, her eyes had returned to normal, as if everything that happened last night was an illusion.

Mai Shiraishi also seemed to be unaware of her changes, and when she woke up, she still had a frightened expression on her face, and curled up on the bed in fear.

The agent hurriedly comforted her and said, "Baishi-san, you're fine, you're in the hospital." ”

Mai Shiraishi reacted at this time, looked around nervously and found that she was indeed in the hospital, so she let down her guard, and asked the agent with a scared face: "What happened, why are you here, agent?" Why am I in the hospital? ”

"Shiraishi-san, you were attacked by a murderer last night, and it was a police officer who saved you, because you were injured in the arm and fainted, and you were taken to the hospital by the police. Shiraishi-san, are you feeling better now? Is there anything else on your body that is uncomfortable? The agent explained to Mai Shiraishi.

Mai Shiraishi shook her head, indicating that she was fine, and then asked, "How is the police officer who saved me?" Is he okay? Have any prisoners been caught? ”

The agent shook his head and said, "That police officer, Mr. Sheriff, was seriously injured in order to protect you, and is now being treated in the ward next door, and the prisoner who attacked you was also caught by another police officer." Seeing that Mai Shiraishi heard this, with a worried expression on her face, the agent hurriedly said: "Shiraishi-san, you don't have to worry, that police officer is fine, and now he is out of danger, you can go to see him later." "The agent remembered the advice of Chiya and Officer Sato, and did not disclose the monster attack to Mai Shiraishi.

Hearing that the police officer who had saved her was out of danger, Mai Shiraishi relieved herself and leaned on the hospital bed with the help of her agent.

The agent who helped Mai Shiraishi put the pillow so that she was leaning on the hospital bed seemed to remember something: "By the way, I heard that you were attacked last night, Hashimoto-san and Matsumura-san both came to see you, originally they were going to stay here with you, I asked them to go back, I hope you don't misunderstand." ”

"Ah, Agent, Sang, you're serious." Mai Shiraishi heard the agent say this, and hurriedly waved her hand with her uninjured hand, and then asked the agent, "Agent-san, what should I do with my work today?" Is it too late to rush over now? With that, he got up and got out of bed, ready to go to work.

The agent pressed Mai Shiraishi back to the bed and said, "Shiraishi-san, you don't have to worry about work, because of your injury, the operation side has already explained the situation for you, so you can rest assured these days." There won't be a new job for you until you're healed. ”

Mai Shiraishi said with a worried face: "Is this okay?" It's an important promotional period for my debut single, so if I'm absent, it will have a bad impact, right? ”

"If you wear a bandage and hang your arms to go to the show to promote it, then it will really have a bad impact." The agent pointed to Mai Shiraishi's bandaged arm and said, "The operation hasn't squeezed you to this point, take a good rest, don't think nonsense, let's take a holiday these days." ”

Hearing what the agent said, Mai Shiraishi could only let go of her worries and leaned on the hospital bed. Seeing the tired agent yawning, Mai Shiraishi asked with concern, "Agent-San, have you been here all night?" ”

The agent nodded tiredly: "Because I don't feel at ease, I stayed here all night, and it was originally Hashimoto-san and Matsumura-san who wanted to guard you." ”

Mai Shiraishi suddenly said with emotion: "Then agent San, go back and rest quickly, I have no big problems here, I can deal with it by myself." ”

The agent saw that Mai Shiraishi was fine, and he was indeed very tired, so he said to her: "In this case, then Shiraishi-san, you take care of your injuries, I will leave first." ”

However, the departing agent didn't see it, and after he turned around, Mai Shiraishi's eyes showed a cunning and seductive look.
