On the quiet mountain road, a swordsman in black armor and a girl in a purple kimono walked slowly

Akichen learned about the origin of the cherry blossoms from Shikihime a few days ago

Westward Demon

Thirty years ago, the most famous Onmyoji of the Western Kingdom, Mage Saiyuki, died, and according to his will, his body was buried under a huge cherry tree that he had seen during a demon-eradication operation, which was no different at the time, and the Saigyu family did the same, and also established Saigyoji Temple on the hill where the cherry blossom tree was located.

In the years following his death, some admirers of the westbound monk also wished that they could be buried in the same place as the westward master after his death, which was not excessive, and it would also enhance the prestige of the westward family, so the westward family agreed to all similar requests.

The good times didn't last long, and just 20 years ago, the cherry blossom trees underwent a strange change.

People are constantly being found committing suicide in various ways near the cherry blossom trees, and their bodies seem to have been drained.

This caused panic among the surrounding people, and at first people thought that it was a monster from where to kill people, so the West Traveler also sent a lot of onmyoji to inspect the surroundings, but found nothing.

It wasn't until later, one day, when an onmyoji was worshipping the westward mage, he saw an ordinary person being attracted to the cherry blossom tree, lying on the trunk to commit suicide, and then being sucked into the human trunk, and people knew that everything was made of this cherry blossom tree.

The Saigyu clan then cordoned off the area around the cherry blossom trees and forbade people from approaching them, and the reputation of the Saigyu Demon began to spread.

However, with the research of the Saixing family on the Saixing Demon, it was discovered that the Saikyo Demon only erupted in the spring when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and at other times, it was in a dormant state. This is the reason why Qiu Chen didn't feel a strong death qi when he came to this world, and the time was not right.

And the Engols also began to observe the Westward Demon 10 years ago.

However, when Qiuchen asked Yingji why he didn't solve the Westward Demon earlier, he was directly despised by Yingji. Qiuchen was still a little helpless when he thought of Yingji's words now

"I've only been observing for ten years, why are you in a hurry?"

It's like talking about a new thing, and you've only been observing it for ten hours, so you have to deal with it, what are you anxious about?

Ay~~

You can't talk about time with the immortal guys

However, now that he knows the information of the Westward Demon, it is still some time before the next outbreak, so Qiu Chen is not so anxious to solve it, although he doesn't know that this world barrier can withstand a few deathless impacts, but it would be good to solve it before this outbreak.

Therefore, Qiuchen decided to solve Ah Qiu's matter first.

In the unfortunate mound Qiuchen and the four seasons Yingji talked about Ah Qiu, although it is impossible to directly infuse Ah Qiu with the power of death to transform Ah Qiu into the dead and let her live forever, this directly violates the rules of the dead world, Qiu Chen is exempted because he can transform into the living, but Ah Qiu can't.

And Ah Qiu didn't want to do that.

However, Qiuchen thought that she could be reincarnated, and every time Aqiu died, Komachi would directly take Aqiu's soul to be reincarnated in her family village, so that her memories would not be washed away, which was equivalent to immortality in disguise.

Before that, Qiuchen had to say hello first, after all, in this era, there is a great fear of all unknown things, and he doesn't want to be treated like a witch in the West.

"Okay, let's take a break" Qiuchen looked at the sky, turned to Ah Qiu who was following behind him, and said, "How far is it from your village ahead?" ”

Ah Qiu walked to a high ground on the side of the road and looked around, "It's not far, it is estimated that it will take half a day to walk."

"Very well, sit down and rest for a while"

In order not to let others misunderstand, Qiu Chen has not opened the undead physique when he was in a hurry, although after a period of training in Azeroth, he is still a little tired from walking such a long way in a row, and now Qiu Chen really admires Ah Qiu Neng for almost walking alone in the western country.

"Hey" Ah Qiu walked up to Qiu Chen, squatted down, and looked straight at Qiu Chen, "You really won't hurt the people in the village?" ”

"My eldest lady~" Qiuchen patted Ah Qiu's shoulder, "How many times do you want me to promise you before you can believe it?"

Along the way, Qiuchen didn't know how many times he had told Ah Qiu that he really had no ill will towards humans, but the impression of monsters hurting people has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this era, so it doesn't seem to have much effect

"No malice is best"

"I said," Qiuchen looked at Ah Qiu, who was sitting next to him and resting, "Komachi already told you that day."

"Komachi? You mean the youkai who calls himself the Grim Reaper? ”

"That's right, don't think of all non-humans as monsters" Qiuchen has always wanted to correct Ah Qiu's opinion, but it seems that the effect is as useless as reassuring Ah Qiu that he has no ill will towards humans.

"I know, I know," Ah Qiu waved his hand, "I already know those things, but "Ah Qiu looked at Qiu Chen" Why did he do this? ”

"Didn't I tell you, I need to count all the monsters and their data"

"I'm not talking about that, I'm saying why do you count those monsters?"

"Ah, you ask this" Qiuchen paused, and the next words were related to whether he could let Ah Qiu help him with peace of mind, so he had to think about it

"Hmm"

Ah Qiu looked at him intently

"Hmm"

Ah Qiu looked at him seriously

Why can't you think of it at a critical time!!

"You just want me to unify these monsters!"

"Cut, a decent answer."

"What's the matter with your cut!?"

"I thought you'd say something big."

"For example," Qiuchen asked

"For the peace of mankind, for the peace of the world"

"Who would say that kind of vulgar reason," Qiuchen complained powerlessly

"Alright, let's go."

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Who's that person?"

At the entrance of the village, a man who had just finished farming stood at the entrance of the village and said to the people on the side

"That's it," the other man looked at the man's hand

"Isn't that Miss Aqiu of Barnyard Field!! Hurry up and inform Lord Barnyard that Miss Aqiu is back."

"Oh oh" The man hurried towards the village, and the other man came straight to meet him

"Hehe" Qiuchen clasped his hands to his chest and looked at Ah Qiu, "I didn't expect your family's status to be low, eldest lady" Although the conversation between the two people just now was far enough, it could still be heard with Qiuchen's strength

It seems that the barnyard family was probably a wealthy family in charge of a village, which was considered a small wealthy family, that is, the family could afford to raise 3 or 4 samurai and 20 peasant soldiers temporarily.

"I'm really impressed that an eldest lady would run out to do such a dangerous thing as collecting information about monsters," Qiuchen said to Ah Qiu with a smile

"I don't like this family" In the face of Qiuchen's smiling people, Ah Qiu looked a little depressed "Everything has been arranged since birth, no matter what is prescribed, and a lifetime is spent meaninglessly"

Qiuchen put away his smile and hugged Ah Qiu's shoulder, "Okay, okay, this is all in the past, now your life is not something they can control, you will become a person they can't imagine at all."

"Are you comforting me, you really won't comfort people" That being said, Ah Qiu's face was obviously much better

"Miss Aqiu, Miss Aqiu" The farmer ran in front of Qiuchen and Aqiu

"Miss Aqiu, you're back, Lord Barnyard sent us to look for you for a long time, everyone thought you were gone."

"Well, I see," Aqiu paused, "Mulang went tell my father, I'll go see him"

"Got it, Miss, Tian Gorou has already gone to tell the adults, you should hurry back to the village"

Well, that's good

Qiu Chen has been ignored

I said how much nerves it takes to ignore me!!

Your eldest lady brought back a person of unknown origin, is it really okay not to interrogate!?

Qiuchen had already begun to think about how to introduce his origin and how he met Ah Qiu, but he didn't expect to be ignored

Well, so be it, you shouldn't have high expectations for the neural arc of these guys who only know their names as Oro, Jiro, and Saburo

Qiuchen thought as he followed Ah Qiu into the village

I don't know what kind of barnyard the barnyard is going to be.,If you can't convince it, you'll have to use some other means.
