It's not that Tomie wants to make a point, it's mainly because humans can't understand monsters that well. Tomie is considered a human who knows a lot about monsters. He can't guarantee that he knows all monsters, let alone ordinary humans.

"What is that if it's not a monster?" The middle-aged man was confused by his question and asked unconsciously.

This is what Tomie is afraid of. When humans may not understand monsters, they may regard the cursed spirits or other things they accidentally see as monsters, or they may simply use monsters to refer to all abnormalities.

"It's a sea monster." The middle-aged man nodded firmly, "They are all monsters such as Umibozu, Niyan, and Ama. We fishermen can still recognize these monsters."

Tomie nodded. It is not that there are cases where a cursed spirit possesses something and is observed by humans as the possessed object, but there is no need to discuss this issue too much with humans.

"These monsters have all turned black. They don't even have the whites of their eyes. They eat any living thing they see." The middle-aged man sighed and continued to explain.

Tomie took a look at the barrier in his hand, and would specifically avoid his darkness. Humans who would not be affected by the wave of darkness would be infected by monsters, but the same monsters would not attack Hidden God Tanuki and Hoshikuma Doji at the same speed. Same.

Tomie doesn't think those dark waves have the intelligence to distinguish and set traps. The speed of the invasion is also affected by the strength of the attacked monster and the purity of the monster energy.

"Those black sirens seem to be more interested in monsters." A woman next to him interrupted.

Fu Jiang looked over immediately.

The woman hugged the seven or eight-year-old child next to her with fear on her face, "My Jiachun said that he was stopped by a black sea monster before, and when he ran away, he bumped into a civet cat. The black sea monsters immediately pounced on the civet cat. , so that my Jiachun has a chance to escape home."

Judging from the feedback from wherever it is, the earliest darkness appeared in the sea. However, considering that the darkness has invaded the two monster clones, those sea monsters carrying the color of darkness may be normal monsters. Possessed after invasion.

The fact that humans cannot see the darkness like a wave can already explain this problem.

The crowd surrounding Fu Jiang kept telling him everything they had seen or heard from hearsay.

The men who followed back found some wooden furniture and walked out of the room. Not long after, they heard the sound of wood being chopped.

Then I saw them walking over with pieces of wood they had chopped, and seemed to be preparing to light a fire in the fire pit in front of them.

Before Fujiang could ask, someone had already explained to him: "Since winter, no one has gone into the mountains to cut firewood and burn charcoal, and we have never caught fish to exchange for firewood and charcoal. Everyone in the village gathered together. Get up to stay warm, and try to eat some dry food. If you really can’t stand it any longer, each family will contribute some unused furniture and burn it first, and we can all make it back in the spring.”

After hearing this, Tomie realized that they probably couldn't provide him with cold food, so they prepared to light a fire to cook.

Fujiang threw another divine fire into the fire pit that contained only ashes. The way the divine fire kept burning when there was nothing to burn was through the supply of spiritual power.

"If you want to... boil water, you can do it while I'm still here. I'll be leaving soon. If you want to use fire after I'm gone, you'll have to rely on firewood." Tomi Jiang originally wanted to cook, but Thinking that they might not have much food left after surviving until now, he was afraid that in order to please him, they would work hard to entertain him even when he was in difficulty, so he temporarily changed his words and told them that he could keep it and not waste it.

The men nodded in thanks.

Several people started moving at the same time, running outside to pack a lot of snow in containers, and heating it in a large pot on the fire pit to melt it.

They threw half a piece of kelp, some dried fish, and some grain into the hot water.

When it becomes a slightly thick pot, distribute it one by one.

Tomie is the first bowl. His bowl contains grain, dried fish, and kombu.

He looked at the people around him. There were grains and dried fish in the children's bowls. Most of the men had the same arrangement, but the women's bowls were very sparse, and some women even couldn't get a share.

That's because children are the future and men are the labor force, so women have fewer resources and may even be completely deprived of this right.

Perhaps what was taken away was the bowl he was holding.

Fu Jiang did not touch the bowl of food. Immediately, a woman asked cautiously: "Our food is limited, and the simple cooking is not as good as your eyes."

Fu Jiang shook his head. "No, I just..."

He didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't tell the people who entertained him seriously that I couldn't bear to eat the few rations you might have left.

It would have been nice if Hoshikuma Doji hadn't made him angry and been locked up by him.

The crowd looked at each other wondering what to do now.

Fu Jiang held the bowl of porridge-like food and put it into his mouth in front of them.

Forget it, I just ate their meal and I will find a way to make up for it after I return to Kyoto.

"Did you gain a lot today? It's so rich, I can smell the fragrance." The door was pushed open, and a voice somewhat similar to Hoshikuma Doji sounded from the door.

Tomi Jiang looked up and saw a blond boy of fourteen or fifteen years old standing there, seemingly dragging a leg of some animal on his hand.

He saw Fu Jiang in the room at a glance. He didn't say anything and just stood there quietly looking at Fu Jiang.

Fujiang could tell at a glance that this person was probably not a human being. Although it was hidden, traces of demonic energy could still be seen on his body.

"Feiniao, you are back." Someone immediately stepped forward to greet him.

The boy named Asuka handed the prey in his hand to the visitor.

He glanced at Fu Jiang, then looked at the sacred fire in the fire pit and the small sacred flames in front of everyone used to keep warm. Finally, when he looked back at Fu Jiang, his eyes were full of caution.

Tomie immediately realized that he had discovered that he was not human.

Although he didn't know why a non-human was mixed among humans, he was not infected even though he was so close to the dark wave. Tomie desperately wanted to talk to him.

The two reached a consensus in the exchange of glances.

Someone noticed his eyes and began to introduce him: "That's the gentleman from Kyoto. He said he wanted to investigate the black sea monster coming out of the sea."

The young man named Feiniao's eyes stayed on Fujiang for a longer time, and then he looked at Fujiang and said to the people around him: "I want to go home to get something, so you can divide it first. There is no need to leave a meal for me."

After Asuka finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left. Tomi Jiang looked at the slight demonic aura that was still left behind after he left, and knew that it was a message for him.

After losing sight of Asuka, Tomi Jiang heard someone beside him discussing softly, "Why don't you eat with us? Did you keep the good things for yourself?"

Tomie looked at the small group discussing it, and those who said this were women and children who could not go out to catch food under such circumstances and could only wait for relief.

Tomi Jiang looked away. He was not good at dealing with this kind of problem. He sat in the crowd for a while, then found a reason to leave. Following the shallow demonic energy left behind, he went to a building in the village that was almost demolished except for its frame. Pretty much the same house.

Fujiang looked at the house silently, and then saw the blond boy sitting within the bounds of the door. He always felt that this scene had a sense of déjà vu.

"Aren't you coming in?" the young man asked him.

The sense of déjà vu became even stronger.

Fu Jiang asked tentatively: "Can I go in?"

The bird boy nodded and moved slightly away, giving him a distance of half a body.

Tomie frowned and put his hand on his head and began to think. The monster he knew would haunt the beach. He had blond hair and a voice that sounded like Hoshikuma Doji. It seemed like there was one who invited him into the house.

The young man named Feiniao noticed his resistance and asked him: "What are you afraid of?"

Tomie looked at him and hesitated to speak, and asked directly: "Is your monster type Prajna?"

Asuka frowned and asked him instead of answering directly: "Are you a priest or an onmyoji?"

Tomi Jiang gave him a meaningful look, still remembering.

The blond boy didn't get an answer, and his brows furrowed even more.

"Priest." There was a little hesitation in Tomie's tone when he answered, and he looked at the blond boy opposite him seriously.

Compared with Ao Niao, who is also a prajna, the common point between the two people should be blond hair. Although the boy named Asuka is also very good-looking, his appearance is completely different from Ao Niao. In terms of the color of the evil spirit, Tomie has been around for more than five years. I really can’t remember the color of Blue Bird’s aura.

Asuka got the answer he wanted and asked him again: "You are from Kyoto. There is a masked priest among your priests. Five years ago, he should be about the same age as me now. Do you know him?"

Fu Jiang silently looked at the boy's height, which was only 150cm or less. Not only was he about the same height as you five years ago, he was also about the same height now.

Fu Jiang's mood is complicated, this can be considered a real hammer.

Tomie nodded as the young man's eyes gradually became impatient, "Son of God Tomie, he's quite familiar."

The young man looked at him and opened his mouth, wanting to say something but didn't say anything.

Fu Jiang looked at him and asked him directly: "How come you are safe and sound in a place like this?"

The young man looked at him quietly for a while before asking: "Will Kyoto send you alone to investigate?"

Tomie was stunned for a moment, and because he was an acquaintance, he chose to answer directly: "I was not sent here from Kyoto. This is considered a self-action."

The young man looked at him and asked again: "Are you alone?"

Fujiang scratched the back of his head, guessing what he wanted to ask, and answered uncertainly: "Fujiang is here."

The young man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, opened his mouth and closed it again.

Tomie didn't know what to say to continue the conversation, so he could only smile at him, imitating his clone's sweet smile.

The young man said coldly: "Don't laugh, you're so ugly."

Tomi Jiang stared at him, and what he got was the boy's disgusted expression that turned away from his face.

Fujiang suddenly felt like a bolt from the blue. There were actually people who thought he was ugly. Judging by his expression, he was still really disgusting. It had only been a few years since they last saw each other. Qingniao's aesthetics had never been correct, or he had been led astray by others. Are his eyes okay? You actually think he is ugly!

While Tomie was being shocked by his words, the boy suddenly said: "I don't know why I wasn't infected like other monsters. I can accompany you to investigate."

Even after saying such words, the young man did not turn his head away to look at him. It seemed that he really didn't want to see Fu Jiang's face.

Fujiang turned around. Now he didn't want to pay attention to Qingniao. Soon he squeezed the small barrier in his hand hard, okay, now for the sake of Hoshikuma Doji, he has to know how the monster is infected, and how to treat the infected part after being infected.

He helplessly looked back at the young man and suppressed his aroused anger: "Thank you."

The young man stood up directly from the tatami he was sitting on inside the door, walked to Tomie's side and walked toward the coast, "Let's go, don't waste any more time."

Fujiang looked at his back and took a deep breath. He couldn't be angry. It was rare to find someone who was sure he wouldn't be infected to help. It's not like he didn't know that Qingniao was a cold little brother. He couldn't be angry. He couldn't be angry.

Perhaps because he had been comforting himself for too long, Fu Jiang failed to keep up with the young man in time. The young man noticed this and looked back at him impatiently.

Fu Jiang squeezed out a smile and chased after him. Since he felt ugly and especially didn't want to see himself smile, then he should make him smile.

Fu Jiang ran forward and followed him, asking good-naturedly: "Where should we start to investigate?"

The young man glanced at him and said nothing, but his direction was steady.

Fu Jiang understood, this little brother who was still aloof after not seeing each other for many years was ready to lead the way directly.

The two of them walked all the way towards the sea, and when the demon stepped into the distance of the beach, the clone Fujiang came to them with two fists clenched.

The clone Tomie didn't seem to notice the boy walking a little ahead of him. He ran directly past the boy and ran in front of Tomie, spreading his left hand, revealing the completely black civet cat statue.

Because the boy is not human, he can see the clone Tomie.

He stared at the fox mask on the face of the clone Fu Jiang, and then noticed the divine mask on his waist, frowning and asking: "What is this?"

"The clone technique made by the Yokai Puppet Technique, we use it to test the infection efficacy of the pitch black." Tomie explained, taking the tanuki statue handed over by the clone Tomie, after holding it in his hand, it did not appear like the statue of Hoshikama Doji. The black fading phenomenon is very stubborn, and it is even darker than the statue of Hoshikuma Doji.

Prajna stared at the clone Fujiang without saying a word.

Tomie looked at the clone Tomie and felt that he shouldn't be left here. He reached out and touched the center of the mask on his face, and pulled out the spiritual energy crystal given to him. The clone Tomie turned into a wooden sculpture and fell. Hoshikuma Doji's wooden sculpture They also fell next to him. Tomi Jiang bent down to pick up the two wooden sculptures and stuffed them into the inside of his clothes.

The young man asked directly from the side: "Do you priests all like to be friends with monsters?"
