The three of them walked out of the cave,

What catches your eye is that

A new world of sunshine, birds and flowers~

There are many animals drinking from the creek in the distance.

The air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers,

Standing in this place gives a sense of peace and quiet....

While the two were still intoxicated, Slimy interrupted them:

"My house is just behind the hillside in front. ”

Then, the three of them headed in the direction of the Slimy Finger.

Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Pig walked forward while enjoying the beautiful scenery around them.

In a short time they came to the top of the hill,

Looking down from above, there is a small village below, which should be a mushy village.

The three of them walked towards the entrance of the village, and from a distance, they could see many people guarding the entrance of the village.

But it's more like a humanoid animal than a human,

Judging by the way they looked, they all looked anxious.

When Tachibana Sakyo and the others approached, an aunt with antlers on her head spotted them first.

Then he began to greet the villagers and looked at Tachibana Sakyo.

While everyone was still talking, a person came out of the crowd.

This man has white ears and a tail like a mush,

Seeing Tachibana Sakyo and them, the originally anxious faces instantly turned into tears of joy.

While crying, he ran to Tachibana Sakyo and them.....

At this time, Mumu also found the person who ran over, with a happy smile on his face, and shouted:

"Mom, I'm here!"

Then, he got off Tachibana Sakyo and ran towards her on crutches.

Just when everyone was ready to be moved by the reunion of mother and daughter,

Sticky mom, pick up your fist and hit the top of your head is a punch,

Then he grabbed her ears and reprimanded her severely:

"Stinky girl, I mobilized the whole village to look for you for a day and a night, where did you die!"

Hearing his mother's scolding, he replied in a low voice like a child who had done something wrong:

"I wanted to go out and have a look, and I was going to come back soon.

Who knew that as soon as I went out, I met two jackals, and they kept chasing me,

Luckily, the two of them saved me. ”

After hearing this, the pasty mother knelt down and hugged the paste, and cried and said:

"Stinky girl, scared my mother to death, I almost thought I would never see you again. ”

was moved by this sudden love triple, and the paste was also moved to cry loudly, and sobbed:

"I won't dare again!"

Seeing this scene, the villagers also gathered around one after another, whispering around and discussing:

"It's good to come back, you can rest assured~"

Just as everyone was talking to each other, another person came out of the middle of the crowd....

It's a short, humanoid raccoon on crutches~

Compared with the pasty of them, he completely retains the appearance of a raccoon.

But like a man, he stands and walks,

The two eyes narrowed into a line,

It looks like you're asleep,

Walking tremblingly, he looks very old.

Everyone looked at the short raccoon and said:

"The village chief, the village chief, the paste has been found, and now you can rest assured. ”

Tachibana Sakyo heard their conversation and roughly understood that the person in front of him should be the head of the village.

Just as Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Hello wanted to say hello, the village chief spoke:

"Thanks, thanks, you, send the paste-paste back. ”

Tachibana Zuojing and Pig Pig were stunned~

This subdued and frustrated, sometimes fast and sometimes slow way of speaking, is really panicked.

Originally, there were still a lot of questions I wanted to ask, but I lost interest in an instant, and replied perfunctorily:

"It's okay, it's okay, it's supposed to be~"

The village chief continued:

"Thank you for both,

I would like to invite you to sit in the village together.

Everybody—go back—bring out all the delicious food,

Okay - thank you both. ”

After listening to this, the villagers also echoed....

Mom got up and stepped forward, and solemnly thanked Tachibana Zuojing and Pig Pig.

After that, a group of people returned to the village in a happy mood.

On the way back, the raccoon village chief peeked at Tachibana Zuojing from time to time,

A few times later, Tachibana Sakyo also noticed something unusual,

However, the old village chief, who looked weird, didn't dare to ask,

I had to choose to wait and see....

When they came to the village, Tachibana Zuojing and Zhu Zhuluo settled down in the pasty house first,

The villagers began to prepare food for the dinner.

When they came to Mumu's house, Mumu's mother invited the two to sit down first and helped them make tea.

Then, he called Muslim over and began to help her treat her wounds.

I saw my muddle mother clasping her hands together,

I recited an incomprehensible incantation in my mouth,

After that, the two hands are naturally separated, and slowly placed on top of the mushy wound,

Eyes closed,

Hold your breath and concentrate,

Suddenly, a faint green light came out between the hands of the mushy mother....

After a while, the pasty mom put away her movements,

On the other side, the treated paste immediately got off the chair,

Jumping and jumping,

The wound on his foot healed in such a short time.

Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Pig were very shocked by this!

It's incredible~

The muddle mother looked at the surprised two, and explained with a smile:

"No wonder you haven't seen it,

The one I just used is a witchcraft, and only animals that have cultivated to refine can use it.

And according to different talents, everyone knows different kinds of witchcraft. ”

After listening to the explanation of the mushy mother, Tachibana Zuojing and Zhu Zhuluo suddenly realized.

After a short rest, Tachibana Sakyo thought of the strange behavior of the village chief just now,

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to ask the pasty mother:

"Just now, on the way back, the raccoon village chief would look at me from time to time, do you have any prejudices against me?"

Pasty Mom sighed:

"Actually, humans and youkai have always been incompatible.

Many animals will become man-eating monsters after cultivating to become fine.

And on the human side, in order to protect themselves, there are people who specialize in slaying demons and destroying demons.

In this group of humans, there are also some extremists, who will be used as the target of extermination regardless of whether the other monster has harmed humans or not.

Because of this, the mushy father died in the previous struggle. ”

After listening to Tachibana Zuojing and Pig Porro, they understood,

It turns out that humans and monsters still have such entanglements, no wonder the village chief will keep an extra eye on him all the time.

After a while......

The antlers aunt just now came over to greet the muddle mom, and they went over to eat together.

After everyone responded, they immediately got up and went to the banquet venue.

When night fell, everyone came to the middle of the village,

A bonfire has been lit in the middle,

The villagers sat around and began to sing and dance~

Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Poro are invited to the middle,

In order to thank Tachibana Zuojing and Pig Pig Hello for sending the paste back safely,

After inviting the villagers to solemnly toast the two of them with a glass of wine, the banquet officially began~

.........

After being full of wine and food, Tachibana Zuojing thought about what had just happened again, and deliberately moved to the side of the raccoon village chief, and took the initiative to go up and talk:

"Village chief, the dispute between monsters and humans, the two of us just listened to my confused mother,

It's right that you have some scruples about us, but you can rest assured!

We will never tell us what happened today when we go back. ”

The raccoon village chief still squinted his eyes, smoked a long pipe in his mouth, and slowly spoke:

"It's okay if you really tell me about it. ”

The village chief changed his previous tone of frustration and said solemnly:

"Our village is called

【Immortal Cave Heaven】

A long time ago, there was an "adult" who traveled here,

Seeing that we little monsters are too weak and have no ability to protect themselves, we specially cast a spell for this place,

Since then, only the villagers in the village have been able to enter and exit this place where we live.

Outsiders, whether humans or youkai, have no way to enter directly from the outside. ”

Tachibana Zuojing looked a little shocked after hearing this, there is still someone in the world who can have this divine power?

Before Tachibana Sakyo could continue to ask, the raccoon village chief turned his head to stare at Tachibana Sakyo,

The eyes that were originally squinted opened slightly,

stared at him with a serious expression, and looked at Tachibana Zuojing with a little chill on his back~

Tachibana Zuojing was a little overwhelmed, and just wanted to ask a question, but the raccoon village chief interrupted him first, saying:

"You should have noticed that I was watching you before!"

Tachibana Zuojing immediately took over when he heard it:

"Yes, I just came here to ask about it. ”

The Raccoon Village Chief took a deep puff of his cigarette and hesitated for a moment:

"Actually, it's not what I'm observing, it's the saber at your waist. ”

After listening to the words of the raccoon village chief, Tachibana Zuojing took out the knife with a puzzled face,

And pulled it out, looked at it carefully, and asked suspiciously:

"This knife is a relic left to me by my grandfather, is there anything wrong with it?"

The raccoon village chief peeked at the katana in Tachibana Sakyo's hand, and immediately looked away, and began to explain:

"This knife in your hand is a veritable demon knife!"

Tachibana Sakyo looked at the katana in his hand in surprise:

"What? Is it a demon knife?"

Raccoon Village Chief: "Judging by the pattern of the knife, it should be."

Demon Knife - [Ghost Cut]

It's made by the monster himself, and when you see it from the first glance,

I sensed the faint demonic aura it emanated,

However, the demonic aura emitted by this demon knife is extremely weak, and it seems that it should still be asleep. ”

The village chief took a puff of cigarette and said thoughtfully:

"I've been thinking about whether I should tell you about the Demon Knife.

Although the awakened Demon Knife will bring great power to the user. ”

After listening to this, Tachibana Zuojing's eyes immediately lit up:

"Village Chief, do you have a way to awaken it!"

Raccoon Village Chief: "Yes, yes,

However, the demonic energy emitted by the awakened demon sword will affect and erode the user for a long time.

The knife wielder will slowly lose his nature because of this,

Eventually turn into a monster that can only kill. ”

Tachibana Zuojing, whose eyes were shining, immediately became stunned when he heard what the village chief said~

Raccoon Village Chief: "If you can't control this demon knife, what I just said will hurt you,

Of course, I can also teach you how to wake it up,

As for whether to wake it up or not, you have to decide for yourself. ”

After listening to the village chief's explanation, Tachibana Zuojing was silent for a moment.....

Then, my mind began to recall the scene when my grandfather fought with the five assassins.

Although the other party is all masters,

But in the face of the grandfather with this demon knife in his hand,

The body is like a ghost,

The sword wind is fierce,

Murderous,

With one enemy and five enemies, you will not fall behind!

If it weren't for the end to protect himself, he wouldn't die with the other party.

Before my grandfather died, he entrusted this sword to me, and he must have hoped that I could achieve something and become a great swordsman!

If you can't even control a knife now, then how can you become the number one in the world!

Tachibana Sakyo strengthened his belief and said to the village chief:

"I've decided, to awaken this demon knife,

Please help me!"

The head of the raccoon village looked at the determined young man in front of him, and had no choice but to agree to his request:

"Now that you've made up your mind, I'll help you wake it up tomorrow!"

At the end of the banquet, the crowd began to disperse~

Back at Mumu's house, Tachibana Zuojing told Zhu Zhuluo what the village chief said.

After listening to it, Pig Pig also agreed with Tachibana Sakyo's idea very much,

And tomorrow will also help him awaken the demon knife together.

Early the next morning....

After breakfast, the head of the raccoon village gathered the two,

After seeing it, he also wanted to join in the fun, so he set off with them~

The village chief saw that he couldn't get rid of her, so he had to let her follow.

After all, if you just wake up the demon sword, there won't be any danger in a short period of time.

The four of them began to set off towards the back mountain ....

The village chief introduced the situation of the demon knife to Tachibana Sakyo as he walked:

"The demon knife will amplify the user's emotions, and when a large number of negative emotions dominate, the wielder will lose his nature,

Become keen on pure power and killing!

If your character is resolute and you have enough strength to harness it,

The demon sword will surrender to you and bring you great power!"

After listening to this, Tachibana Zuojing nodded again and again, expressing his approval~

Soon

The four of them came to a flat clearing,

The village chief found a place and drew a circular pattern on the ground.

The size of the pattern is about the width of four to five adults with their arms outstretched.

The drawings in the patterns are all words and patterns that Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Pig have never seen.

After painting for most of the day, I finally finished painting~

The village chief motioned for Tachibana Sakyo to put the oni cut in the middle of the pattern.

After being placed in the designated position, Tachibana Sakyo retreated outside the circle.

After that, the village chief began to chant with his eyes closed.....

After chanting for a while, I saw a virtual image of a monster appear in the middle of the pattern.

Looming~

Holding a forging hammer in his hand, rhythmically striking the blade of the ghost cut,

After a few consecutive strikes, the blade began to emit a looming black gas.

Subsequently, the virtual image also disappeared~

The village chief also stopped chanting and said:

"The ghost cut has woken up, you can go over and use it. ”

After listening to what the village chief said, Tachibana Zuojing swallowed greedily, and couldn't wait to run over and pick up the ghost cut.

Just as the village chief packed his clothes and prepared to go home,

Zhu Zhuluo pointed to Tachibana Zuojing not far away, and asked with a little panic:

"Village, village chief, Tachibana Sakyo is okay, right?"

The village chief didn't reply and said:

"Don't worry, it's okay, even if you lose your nature, you won't be so fast,

At least I've lived so long and haven't seen anyone get lost on the spot. ”

As soon as the village chief's voice fell,

I saw a hurricane blowing, and the village chief and the paste were blown out a few meters away.

The raccoon village chief who fell to the ground hurriedly got up to check the situation!

Looking at what was happening in front of him, he said in a panic:

"No!

I saw that Tachibana Zuojing not far away was holding a ghost cut,

Eyes are dark,

With a wicked smile on his face,

The body exudes a strong demonic aura,

Obviously, the young man in front of him has completely lost himself!
