Chapter 22: A Fire

Everyone never dreamed that they would find Abe Harumi's spirit card here, and Yui was overjoyed and didn't forget to tease, "Aren't you powerful in the 'Forest of Blood Mist'? ”

Then he said to everyone: "In my opinion, although this place is strange, but with this spirit card to bless us, we can't die for a while!"

Kojiro used the 'Oni Blade' to dig out the spirit card and hold it in his hand.

"Maybe their Abe family put the spirit card here, so that their ancestors can deter this monster, maybe let's take the spirit card and go." ”

Qin Yao glanced at him with a smile, thinking, "I've been with him for a long time, and I feel more and more cute about him, at first I thought he was such a cold character, but I didn't expect him to be so funny." Carrying the ancestral spirit card with him, only he can think of it. ”

She cleared the dust from the ground, knelt down facing the spirit tablet, and muttered silently.

"Lord Qingming, please forgive me for our sins, it is really offensive for us to take away your spirit card, but it is the only thing that can control this sea of hot blood, I hope you don't blame it. ”

It is said that women are weak and need men to take care of them from time to time, Qin Yao used to think like this, but since she fell in love with Kojiro, she has changed.

Originally, she was soft and weak and a little naughty, but seeing that Kojiro was neither mature nor considerate actually aroused the motherhood in her heart, plus she was already one or two years older than Kojiro, and she had the demeanor of a sister.

That's why when we get along, I become calm and introverted, and I think about Kojiro everywhere.

The change was so subtle that she didn't even notice it.

Seeing that she was sincere, Kojiro also learned to kneel down and salute the spirit card.

"Lord Qingming, please bless us to go to Abe's house safely, if we retreat, I will give you two taels of good wine!"

Yui listened to him more and more, slanted his eyes and said, "My Yao'er said it well, why did the words change taste in your mouth." How can you drink wine with him and give it to Izanami?"

Kojiro scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Qin Yao took over and said, "I don't know the Japanese method, just say a few words to the ranking in our place, and then spill the wine on the ground." It's better to burn some more paper money, so that you can not only treat him to a drink, but also give him the money in the underworld to spend. ”

"Yo~ Yao'er. Why are you turning your elbow out before you are married, and you don't listen to 'Mom'?"

These words entered Qin Yao's ears like a sour vinegar, and the roots of Qin Yao's ears were numb. She naturally knew Yui's thoughts, and took her hand and said coquettishly: "Good 'mother', you are the best, don't be angry with Yao'er." ”

Everyone looked at the deep love between the two sisters, and they forgot all about the bloody thing for a while.

I only heard a few 'zizz' sounds, and the scorching blood surged towards the cyan light mask. I also saw a trace of white smoke coming out of the side of the spirit card, as if it had been burned.

Sun Sheng said: "It seems that the power of the spirit card is insufficient, and it can't protect us all the time. ”

Kojiro also noticed something unusual, pulled out the 'ghost blade' and said, "Let's go!"

"Wait! stop cutting down trees, the more trees are cut down and the more blood is burned, it can only speed up the exhaustion of spirit card power!"

"Then what should we do? The trees are so dense and so hot, how can we live and wait here to die?"

Everyone silently weighed it, if they really stayed like this, it would be tantamount to catching turtles in an urn, and they might have a glimmer of life if they fought for their lives.

Kojiro had an idea and asked Keshizo, "Do you have any bombs or anything in your bag with your ninja equipment?"

The second monk of Ji Shizang was puzzled, and he couldn't think of what medicine was sold in Kojiro's gourd.

"Yes, yes, but ...... You're trying to blow up the blood?"

"Don't worry so much, you can just bring it all!

Sun Sheng pondered for a while and understood his intentions, "You want to use gunpowder to ignite these trees?"

"yes, we can't escape anyway. Doesn't 'Bloody Mist Forest' occupy the word 'Forest'? Anyway, I burned him first, anyway, there is no wind and snow now, so it should be easy to ignite. ”

Yui patted him on the head and said angrily, "What should I think, it turns out that you want to die with this monster! We are in the middle of a dense forest, these big trees are really set on fire by you, don't we have to burn them to death?"

Kojiro smiled, "What is the same end, it's nonsense." We have this spirit card, what fire are we afraid of if we can't get in the blood?"

Immediately, wielding the 'Ghost Blade' sword qi soared, and the 'Ghost Blade' groaned softly, and the trees within a radius of two zhang fell in response.

He said to Jian Shizang again: "Will you dig a pit?"

Jian Shizang was stunned by what he said, and replied: "Dig a pit?

"Leave it alone, dig it, just enough for the five of us to hide inside. ”

He didn't care much, took out his tools and dug a pit with Kojiro, and after half an hour, a deep pit that could accommodate five people was dug.

He handed all the gunpowder and flammable materials in the bag to Kojiro, "Do you really want to do this? The flames don't have long eyes, so how can the spirit card protect us?"

As we spoke, the blood-scorching ghostly howl became more and more rapid, and the scorching blood surged and accelerated, causing the cyan light mask to 'thump'.

Kojiro's face showed a hint of triumph, and he said to Ji Shizang: "See, this monster is scared, which shows that my path is right." Hide, I'm going to set fire to the tree. ”

Sun Sheng stopped: "Wait a minute! Abe's house is in the forest, if you order the forest, you won't be afraid of affecting them?

Kojiro was slightly stunned, thinking, "What Sun Sheng said is not unreasonable, but this monster must be inextricably linked to the Abe family, and if you really burn the demon tree, you may offend them." But in order to survive, I can't take care of much. ”

Then he laughed and scratched his head.

"yes, what can I do? Oops, I'm scared. ”

His rough personality is really annoying, Sun Sheng shook his head and sighed lightly: "In my opinion, it's still ...... Kojiro, what are you doing?"

Before he could say the word 'what', he saw Kojiro throw the gunpowder out of his hand while he was not paying attention.

He then shouted and threw the fire fold, which flew down the trajectory towards the gunpowder.

Sun Sheng was immediately annoyed when he saw that he was in violation, and said loudly: "Kojiro, you don't want to die?! Didn't you say that you wouldn't burn it?"

Kojiro smiled and replied: "Yes, yes, yes, my hand slipped, blame me, blame me." Then he picked up Sun Sheng and jumped into the pit.

But when they heard the sound of 'boom' and the endless miserable ghost screams, everyone looked through the light mask, but saw that the fire above the trees was raging, and the fire was very strong, and within a moment it burned from the trunk to the top of the tree.

A lot of scorching blood pressed on the mask one after another, as if they were going to die together.

It's just that the color of the scorching blood is getting lighter and lighter, and the power of the slap is getting smaller and smaller, and after a while, it turns into a wisp of white smoke and evaporates.

Kojiro looked at everyone and said, "What's the matter, I'm very good at it." ”

In the secret room of Abe's house, Ibaraki was bored playing with the golden wine glass, staring at it with his eyes for a while, and rubbing it carefully with his hands for a while.

Then he stretched, yawned, lay down on the bed, and said to himself, "It's boring, it's good to have a good-looking female monster." ”

There is a way to keep warm and think of silver, and the Ibaraki boy is no exception, when the wine swallowing boy was still alive, the two of them turned into handsome beautiful boys, specializing in hooking up with unmarried virgins.

If the woman was beautiful, they brought her home and raised her to be lustful, and if she was ugly, they showed her true face and ate her.

The two of them have brought disaster to the world, and have harmed many women of good families.

One day, the drunken boy was tired of playing with the girls of ordinary people's families, and he suddenly came up with the idea of the daughter of the nobleman Ikedanaka.

Seeing the tragic death of his daughter, Ikedanaka reported to the emperor that he had sent six people, including Lai Yuanguang, a famous general of the day, to conscript him, so that he ended up in a different place.

In this battle, the hundred ghosts were injured a lot, and only a few people escaped with the second leader at the time, Ibaraki Boy.

In this battle, Ibaraki not only lost one of his own arms, but also achieved the knife that cut off his own arm.

The knife that cut off the arm of the rare demon became famous, and the world called it 'ghost cut'!

With such an experience, even if he was bold, the Ibaraki boy would not dare to abduct women of the aristocratic class again. It's just that although there are many beauties in the world, I can't help but get bored after a long time. Thinking that he had never hooked up with a female monster, he couldn't help but feel like a god in a half-dream.

When he was about to kiss Fang Ze in his dream, a sharp knock on the door came into his ears, and then a monster with wings on his back pushed the door and knelt down on one knee and said, "Chief, something is wrong!"

The Ibaraki boy was about to have a spring supper in his dream, but he interrupted, glared at a pair of red eyes and said angrily: "What's the matter!? Didn't you see that I was sleeping?"

"This ...... There is a priority, and I hope that the leader will forgive. ”

The Ibaraki boy knew that he had always been cautious, so he rubbed his eyes and said angrily: "What kind of, you are panicking like this?

"Yes, 'Forest of Blood Mist'......"

When the Ibaraki boy heard the words 'Forest of Blood Mist', he immediately came to his senses, jumped up and said, "What's wrong with the 'Forest of Blood Mist'?

The Great Tengu shook his head and replied, "No." ”

The Ibaraki boy breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again and asked slowly, "It's okay if he's fine, it's not a big deal." I said you're too, what are you doing with this mask all day long? You always say half of it because you want to play tricks on me?"

The Great Tengu thought to himself, "You were the one who intercepted what I said just now, but why did it become that I was talking again?" ”

But after all, he is extremely self-contained, and he suppresses the displeasure in his heart.

"Although the 'Medicine Introduction' is fine, the situation is worse than this, and the 'Blood Mist Forest' was burned by him. Now there is a sea of fire outside, and this place has been heavily surrounded. ”

"What?!Why didn't you say it earlier, why didn't you say it earlier?"

The Great Tengu smacked his tongue, although he knew that Ibaraki Boy was a master who liked to shirk responsibility, but he had never seen him shirk like this. It seems that the demon world gave him the nickname of 'not touching a leaf', which is absolutely worthy of the name.

The Ibaraki boy asked again, "Snow Maiden...... Isn't the Snow Maiden with you......" He mentioned the Snow Maiden, thinking of her cold and beautiful face, and thinking of the female monster in the dream just now, he couldn't help but become obscene.

It wasn't until the big tengu couldn't stop coughing and reminded him that he continued, "Why don't you let her put out the fire by letting the snow fall on the field?" ”

Seeing that his face was flushed, the Great Tengu had already guessed something in his heart, and couldn't help laughing. If he hadn't been wearing a mask and couldn't see his expression, he would have provoked Ibaraki Boy to be furious.

He settled down and said, "The Snow Girl was scared away by a strange white fox and didn't know where she went. ”

The Ibaraki boy snorted and scolded: "Cowardly girl, you can still be scared like this when you see a fox, how can you be a monster......?" Could it be ...... Tamamo?!If this old lady is bad. ”

"It shouldn't be her, it's rumored that Tamamo is in retreat to recuperate, and besides, we haven't had a holiday with her, so it's impossible for us to show up at this time. ”

The Ibaraki boy nodded, rolled his eyes and asked, "Aren't you here too, why don't you stop him?"

"This ...... Didn't you keep us from showing up, and besides, I'm really blowing a strong wind and the fire is only getting bigger. If you want to be burned sooner, I can go fan it. ”

"You ......" Ibaraki Boy denied it in every possible way, but he really couldn't find anyone to shirk his responsibility, and he glared angrily.

The Great Tengu continued to ask, "Chief, this is a dangerous place, do we need it...... Escape. ”

"Am I that kind of person? I'm afraid of fire? You're underestimating me. You go and call Abe Taki to me, and I'll discuss it with him. ”

As he spoke, he saw a person dodge into the door, and the man's face was twisted into a twist with anger, and he pointed at the Ibaraki boy and said loudly: "Look at the good things you have done! Didn't you say that it was foolproof? Now the 'medicine introduction' is here, but my Abe's house is going to be ruined." ”

Naturally, the only person who can talk to Ibaraki Boy like this is Abe Komito.

He heard from the outer disciples that the forest was on fire and went out to take a look, but he saw that the fire was soaring, the smoke was billowing out, and the wind was blowing and the heat wave was blowing heavily, and even the river water on which Abe's family depended was about to be evaporated.

After all, Abe Junior is old, and seeing this situation, he and Abe's grandson dispatched the disciples of the Abe family to extinguish the fire.

It's just that this water and fire are ruthless, and manpower is difficult to do, how can this forest fire be extinguished by the Abe family.

At the time of life and death, Xiao San couldn't care much about it, and went straight to the secret room to ask the Ibaraki boy to give him a way to extinguish the fire, but he was extremely angry, and he asked for blame with one mouth.

Seeing that he was full of anger, the Ibaraki boy was not to be outdone, "This is the territory of your Abe family, and it is the forest of your Abe family, what is it doing with me when it catches fire? ”

Smoke billowed outside, and although the fire did not reach Abe's house, the smoke had already drifted in. Abe's house is already in a mess at the moment, and even the antiques in Abe's third bedroom have been taken by the disciples to scoop water.

Abe Xiaosan thought about it, held back his anger and whispered: "My Abe family has limited strength, and I ask the leader to help me put out the fire." ”

Seeing that he had softened himself, the Ibaraki boy was in a good mood, and he lifted Erlang's legs and said, "Come, you beg me." I can't go out lightly with my 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk'. ”

When did Abe Xiaosan take softness, let alone to a monster!? But the foundation of his Abe family for hundreds of years was burned in between his thoughts, and the slightest mistake was burned.

"In ancient China, famous generals could endure the humiliation of their crotch, and a generation of military gods is still like this, not to mention my Abe Xiaosan!"

So he bowed down and saluted the Ibaraki boy: "Please also ask the leader to help me put out the fire, and ask the Snow Maiden to come out and rain heavy snow for my Abe family, and my Abe family is grateful to the leader for his great kindness." ”

Although he said it respectfully, his upper and lower teeth were gritted and clucked, and he had already scolded the Ibaraki boy a hundred and eighty times behind his back.

After hearing this, the Ibaraki boy laughed and said triumphantly: "Abe Xiaosan, you also have today, but I tell you the truth, I can't extinguish the fire if she is not here." I can't help you!"

"You ......" Xiao San was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Inside the 'Forest of Blood Mist', the fire outside was full of fire, and the smoke choked people, and Kojiro and the others hid in the pit and fainted, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

At this moment, the night moon is high and the black clouds are sparse, a light breeze blows, and Jian Shizang wakes up slowly, and he is relieved to see that everyone is breathing steadily.

He crawled out of the pit and looked around, but saw that the vast Forest of Blood Mist had turned into a scorched earth, and the smell of burning was everywhere.

Looking far away, there was still a small piece of forest that had not been burned, and Jian Shizang thought about it, and the depths of the forest should be Abe's house.

Ji Shizang jumped down from the pit and woke everyone up.

Yui and Sun Sheng woke up after being pushed by him, Kojiro had no internal strength, and Qin Yao's internal strength was not deep, so he did not wake up.

Yui coughed twice and said to Ji Shizang: "I was scared to death, I thought I could be roasted." Did you jump out and see what was going on outside. ”

Jian Shizang said: "The 'Forest of Blood Mist' has been burned to ashes, leaving only a small piece. ”

"There's still a small piece left? The Abe family is really powerful. Yui was covered with dust, and her eyebrows were raised, and the dust couldn't help but fall into her mouth again, causing her to cough again.

Sun Sheng patted the dust on his body and said, "Let's lift these two people to the ground first and let them breathe fresh air." It's too stuffy here, don't hurt your body. ”

Yui looked at him and suddenly giggled, "Doctor Sun, look at your face, how did you look like a little cat." ”

Sun Sheng glanced at him and said angrily: "Xiaoxiaoxiao, when did you still make fun of me, if I hadn't given you the 'Turtle Breath Pill' just now, you would have died a long time ago." ”

"For the rest of our lives after the catastrophe, we should be glad that we always keep a straight face? ”

Sun Sheng glanced at her again and ignored her, and moved Kojiro and Qin Yao out of the pit with Ji Shizang.

Yui looked at the moon in the sky and the stars in the sky, and was in a good mood, and sang a song casually. 'Add the fragrance of the plum blossoms to the messenger of the wind, in order to draw out the warblers of spring......

This song is sometimes gentle and sometimes high-spirited, and it is full of life in the ears.

Sun Sheng didn't understand the meaning of the song and asked, "What kind of song are you singing, it's really good, but is there any meaning?"

"This is what my mom sang to me when I was a kid, and I don't know what it is. The song probably says that I am looking forward to the arrival of spring, and it is full of vitality. If you think it sounds good, I'll teach you. ”

Sun Sheng shook his head and said, "I can't learn this." ”

Then he fed Kojiro and Qin Yao a pill that was smooth, staring at them with his eyes and sighing again and again.
