When I arrived at Guan Qing's house, I learned that he went to participate in a charity event, and it was estimated that he would not be able to come back until the evening, and Tsubaki and I had to return the same way.

"Well, it's so hard to see him now," Tsubaki kept nagging, "I don't feel like I have much fun with him since I came from the Black Sea, and it's rare that he can finally see the youkai now, and I don't have to turn into a cat to come to him, but he's so busy every day." ”

"The burden on his body is much heavier now than before, and even if his father is behind him, he can't do nothing every day. "Even though I said this, I was still a little depressed in my heart, after all, except for Guan Qing, there is no one who can reassure me to talk about everything," I heard Guan's housekeeper say that Guan Qing quickly adapted to the work of the head of the group after returning from a vacation on the Black Sea. ”

"It must be You Zhen who helped him," Tsubaki pursed his lips with an old pedantic expression, "You Zhen is the weaver girl of the undersea court, all the best things in the world can be seen in the palace, and the style of human jewelry is the same as a small toy on the street compared to there, You Zhen walks around the palace every day, he has never seen anything, tell Guan Qing a little, he must have made rapid progress." ”

"It's like all good things are created by you youkai. I rolled my eyes and complained, "I'm a boring person anyway, and I just don't talk so badly." ”

"It's not all, human food is much better and more varied than that of yokai," Tsubaki said, "but humans can't compare to youkai when it comes to making beautiful things." ”

I really don't deny this, and the beautiful dreams of the first two days are enough to illustrate.

"By the way, the god of Simu, you said," I thought of the dream, and I thought of the man in the green robe in the dream, "Is it real?"

"Of course," Tsubaki blinked, "the god of Simu is a great god worshiped by our monsters, his name is Jumang, he is both the god of wood and the god of spring, he presides over the growth of plants and trees and all kinds of life, and the harvest of the field is also under his control, and he prays for special spirits." ”

"Have you seen him?" I asked.

"No," Tsubaki pouted, "The level of the god is much higher than that of the demon, and the monster of my level can't see the god of Simu, and I heard the big monster say that I used to see Lord Jumang walking around in the forest, but in the past few years, I don't know why, few youkai can meet him, and only during the annual Spring God Festival, Lord Jumang will appear." ”

"When is the Spring God Festival held?"

"Of course, it's the day of the beginning of spring, and it is rumored that you can still see Fuso and Wakaki's demigods at the Spring God Festival. Tsubaki suddenly smiled evilly, "Do you want to go to the Spring God Festival to see it?"

“... What do you mean by that smile? "Whenever Tsubaki shows this expression, it must be profitable.

"Not everyone can participate in the Yokai's Spring God Festival, and a little demon like me will definitely not let me in, but it's different if you're here. Tsubaki said, "If I go to the Spring God Festival as your follower, I will definitely not be turned away." ”

"No, I'll definitely tell the organizers that I don't know you. I said.

"Where did you two go, Xiao Tsubaki didn't say a word when he came back from traveling. Before the white cat had time to attack, Guan Qing's voice suddenly appeared, and he was sitting at the door of Tianbei's groceries, with his tie in his hand and a smile on his face.

"Ah, Guan Qing, I can see you!" Tsubaki immediately threw away me and pounced on Guan Qing, looking aggrieved, "Hello, this guy Ye Ke is too boring." ”

"Haha, I think so too," Guan Qing said with a smile, touching Tsubaki's head, he didn't see him for a few days, he seemed to be more calm, "Traveling in the four directions in broad daylight, I'm not afraid that the boss will come back to clean you up." ”

"I've been making enough money lately," I said, opening the door, "come in and talk." ”

Guan Qing stood up and patted his pants, "What's the situation with this flower at your door?"

"What flowers?" I pushed the door open, turned my head, and froze in place.

There was a fiery red hibiscus flower next to the steps where Guan Qing stood up, exactly the same as in his dream.

"So, you had two strange dreams in a row, and when you woke up, you found something that appeared in the dream?" After listening to me, Guan Qing sat on a chair and observed the sprouting Wakaki branch, "Such a dead branch sprouted inexplicably, it's really not right." ”

I looked through the booklet that Yu Ping gave me some time ago, and it was full of everything, but I couldn't explain the meaning of those two dreams.

"The professor's pamphlet says that youkai who can transform into human form are very powerful," I looked at Tsubaki, "but I don't think you're that powerful." ”

Tsubaki glanced at me, "There is an essential difference between the human form he said and me, I just changed to the form of a monster, and ordinary people still can't see me, but powerful monsters are more than that, they can turn into real human forms, and they look no different from humans at all, and some can even integrate into human society and live for many years." ”

"Can you just become a human being? Ordinary people can see it, and it doesn't have to pay any price?" Guan Qing asked, he must have thought of You Zhen.

"That's right," Tsubaki said, "but only a handful of great monsters and immortals can do it." ”

"I remember three people in my dreams," I recalled, "and I couldn't see their faces, but they didn't give me the same feeling as normal humans." ”

"If you really care about those two dreams, I suggest you go find someone," Guan Qing said, "Fu Bai." ”

When I connected to the video, I saw Teacher Fu, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

"Yo, Ye Ke, Guan Qing, what's the matter, did you want to find me?" Fu Bai on the mobile phone screen was basking in the sun on the beach.

"Teacher Fu, it's been so long since school started... When are you going to come back to class?" Guan Qing said first.

"I'm not going to give you a lesson this year," he said a lot of weight, and it seemed that he had a very comfortable rest during the holiday, "I have taken a long vacation with the school, and I have a lot of things to do here, and I won't be returning to China anytime soon." ”

"......" Guan Qing and I both had black lines on our faces.

"What are you looking for me?" Fu Bai asked.

"Do you know Juman?" I said.

"Of course I do. The god of Simu, the god of spring, is also the god of agriculture. Fu Bai's face that was still smiling just now became focused, "Speaking of Jumang, people many years ago admired him very much, and often prayed to him for blessings, food, wealth, and longevity, and there was a custom of spring sacrifice at the beginning of spring every year. He sighed, "But now, people have long forgotten who Jumang is, every day is a mobile phone computer, faith or anything is impossible to talk about, traditional customs and culture are less and less valued, if there are really immortals, sooner or later one day will leave." ”

"Is there any other spring ritual that will be held?" I said, "I want to see it." ”

"If you want to talk about the spring festival, there is a place where you can still see it. Fu Bai said, "Why are you suddenly interested in this?"

"Well, it's nothing, I just saw it by chance, hehehe. I smiled awkwardly.

"You can go to Jumang Hall on the day of the beginning of spring," fortunately, Fu Bai didn't get to the bottom of it, "There is still a distance from City A, and it takes more than two hours to take the train, and you have to take a bus for a while to get there." He suddenly said something to the person next to him, "But I'm not sure you'll see the spring festival when you go, so I won't tell you, my daughter asked me to go surfing with her, let's talk." ”

The mobile phone screen stayed on Fu Bai's big face for a few seconds before it was disconnected.

"I really want to know what his daughter is like," Guan Qing said, "but I haven't seen Teacher Fu have such an expression towards others." ”

But my heart has already run to the Jumang Temple, could the green-robed man in the dream be the god of Simu?
