[Comprehensive Comic] Shenzi Tomie is not doing his job properly

No matter what the reason is, if a human and a monster give birth to a child, the child will be half-demon because of its half monster blood, and will be ostracized by both humans and monsters. If such a child chooses to side with humans, he will continue to fight with the monster. When humans get along with each other, the child born will only have a quarter of the blood of monsters, and at this time, there is a high probability that they will also have this part of the inhuman power.

Then, if this child with one quarter of the demon blood is still combined with a human, whether the child born still has the power of a demon will depend on the strength of the demon as the original source.

Generally, after five or six generations of such a union, they will no longer be different from ordinary humans, but the traces of their existence cannot be erased. Maybe many generations later, the family will even forget that their ancestors once combined with monsters, and they will suddenly Give birth to a child with ancestral characteristics and abilities.

This is what modern people call ‘atavism’.

Tomie and Hoshikuma Doji have already left Kyoto. Tomie gave an excuse that he was guided by the gods and should go to the Kanto region for training. Because of his status in Kyoto, the shrine did not stop him and told him to come back before the harvest season.

Tomie and Hoshikuma Doji opened the door directly to the Mino area, and Hoshikuma Doji suddenly began to educate him on the development and reproduction methods of half-demon.

"So you want me to help you deal with an 'atavistic' child?" Tomie quickly grasped the key points from Hoshikuma Doji's popular science.

Star Bear Boy nodded, "That's right."

Tomi Jiang smiled and asked: "Which monster's descendant can make you pay so much attention to it?"

Normally, monsters don't even want to care about half-demon, so naturally they won't care about such 'atavistics' who are not even half-demon. It's better to just eat them without killing them.

Hoshikuma Doji turned to look at Tomie, looked at Tomie seriously and replied: "Shuten."

……

Tomie's whole body froze, and he slowly turned his head to look at Hoshikuma Doji.

"Yeah, I drank too much." Hoshikuma Doji said this again calmly.

Fu Jiang's mind went blank at this moment.

When Hoshikuma Doji saw Tomie who was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes. There was no response. When he got closer and took a closer look through the mask, Tomie's pupils were trembling.

Star Bear Doji helplessly put his hand on his face, sighed and put his arm around his shoulders, "Don't worry, that happened a long time ago."

Fu Jiang's whole person was visibly depressed.

Hoshikuma Doji asked him: "Do you know the legend of Shuten Doji?"

Tomie shook his head. All he knew was the story of Shuten-douji being beheaded, but this was certainly not the legend that Hoshikuma-douji wanted to ask him about.

Hoshikuma Doji asked again: "Shuten was originally a human being, did you know?"

Fu Jiang nodded and heard him mention it.

Hoshikuma Doji continued to explain the story about Shuten Doji: "Shuten was a child born to a shrine maiden while she was still worshiping the gods. He was taken away from his mother when he was born and sent to a temple to practice as a novice monk. Because of his birth, The problem suffered a lot.”

Tomie nodded. Priests in shrines are allowed to get married, but shrine maidens must be stricter. While they are still worshiping the gods, that is, before retiring from their status as shrine maidens, they must remain chaste. If they lose their virginity and become pregnant during their tenure, Giving birth to a child is a serious crime.

You can probably guess what kind of life Shuten Douji, who was still a human, lived.

"Isn't he the Son of God? Didn't his gods take care of him?" Tomie frowned. He still remembered that when they first met, Shuten Doji mentioned that he was also a Son of God before, and most Sons of God were born in the world as humans. superior.

Hoshikuma Doji added: "His father is Ibuki Daimyojin."

"Ah~" Fujiang understood.

Ibuki Daimyojin, another name more familiar to the world should be Yamata no Orochi, the famous god of disaster. The ferocious giant snake that can bring disaster, eight heads and eight tails, threatens mankind every year. Every year, the girl feeds herself. Because she ate the sister of Su Zhanwu Zun's wife, she attracted Su Zhanwu Zun and was killed.

If it were rumored that Shuten-dōji was the child of Yamata no Orochi, he probably wouldn't have been sent to a temple to endure hardship.

Speaking of which, Yamata-no-Orochi was induced by Suzhanwuzun to drink the wine brewed by his parents-in-law and fell asleep, so he had his eight heads cut off one by one, and the tails were cut open and examined one by one. The 'Tian Cong Yun Sword' was discovered.

As expected of a father and a son, both fell in the same way.

"When Shuten was still a human, he was very popular among local female believers because of his handsome appearance." Hoshikuma Doji winked.

Tomie nodded, understandable. Shuten-dōji is still very popular. According to legend in the Iron Palace, many noble girls kidnapped by Shuten-dōji were actually attracted by his beauty and followed him.

"It is said that at that time, a local Jijun liked him and went to the temple to offer incense every day. The long-term meetings finally touched Shuton's heart. However, because of the beautiful Jijun's preference, Shuton was ostracized in the temple. , and finally led to Shuten's death." Hoshikuma Doji spread his hands. He didn't tell them the specific experience of Shuten Doji at that time, but it must have been very bad, otherwise he wouldn't have turned into a ghost after death. Of course, he was because of Yamata no Orochi. The power inherited from him became a ghost and he immediately gained great power.

"After becoming a ghost, Shuten-douji still remembered his old love, so he quietly entered Ji-kun's room at night." Hoshikuma-douji gave him a look that all boys knew.

Fu Jiang immediately fell down again.

"Aren't you going to listen?" Xingxiong Dozi stretched out his hand and gave him a gentle push.

Fu Jiang hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

"Ji Jun originally liked him and stayed with him for a long time. Until she got pregnant, because she was originally going to be sent to the palace to be a concubine, she wanted to have an abortion." He directly mentioned the key point, "Because the child couldn't be aborted, it was finally discovered. I asked an onmyoji to check and found out that I was pregnant with a monster's child. I sent people to the temple to inquire and found out that the little novice monk I had flirted with was already dead. Since then, he has avoided drinking and swallowed. The family has also invited countless onmyoji monks to guard him."

Tomie thought for a moment and asked, "Jiutun...didn't you take that Lord Ji away?"

Shuten Doji is a man who is very good at pleasing people. As long as he is willing, even if Hime-kun knows that he is a youkai, he will probably fall again soon.

Hoshikuma Doji shook his head, "Shuten, protected by layers of onmyojis and monks, forced his way into Ji Jun's room and asked Ji Jun: I am already a ghost, do you want to come with me? What did Ji Jun answer?" I don’t know, but it must have been some nonsense out of fear. When Jiutan saw that she was afraid of him, he left directly and never saw her again."

Fu Jiang's eyes widened, is it so straightforward?

Star Bear Boy nodded. "Jiutun's original words are: I went to find her because of the obsession and beauty I had when I was still a human being. Since she is afraid of me, instead of letting her gradually wear away the beauty in my heart, it is better to just cut off the fate. Keep some good memories.”

After hearing this, Fu Jiang showed a slight smile.

"That Hime-kun still became the emperor's concubine at that time. The child seemed to have been given birth to a servant before entering the palace. Shuten originally didn't know that Hime-kun was pregnant and gave birth to his own child, but Later, I met the fifth and sixth generation descendants of that child, and when I thought about it, I discovered this."

Hoshikuma Doji sighed. Monsters should be able to sense the birth of their own children. There has always been a saying among monsters that children will absorb the power from their elders and be born. Especially for female monsters, the child will know its future strength when it is still in the womb. There are also situations where the child will die after giving birth.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for a half-demon to be killed by his parents when he is born. Even if his parents do not kill him, half-demon itself is a good supplement for many monsters, and it is normal for him to live for a short time without anyone to protect him.

When Shuten Doji's child was born, he himself was growing rapidly, and when he received the news that Ji Jun had entered the palace, he did not go into details.

Later, when the bloodline continued to be diluted, he knew it, but for monsters, not paying attention to such children was the greatest tolerance for humans with monster blood.

Hoshikuma Doji added: "Then six years ago, Shuten suddenly said, 'He was born again.' While he was drinking one night, I found out about this when I pressed him while he was drunk."

That was not long before Dajiangshan was broken through.

"Then why are you looking for this child?" Fu Jiang frowned.

"Originally I didn't want to explore, but Shuton's strength has not recovered since Shuton was resurrected, so I wanted to take a look." To verify whether it was this 'atavistic' child who had stolen Shuton's power.

"What do you want to do after finding him?" Tomi Jiang frowned, realizing that the little monster might not have any good intentions.

"Let's see how strong he is first." Hoshikuma Doji brought Tomie with him. Naturally, it was impossible to kill the child in front of Tomie and give Shuten Doji back his demonic power.

Let’s first see how strong that child is. If he has great potential and strength, take advantage of Tomie’s unusual attraction and kidnap him back to Dajiangshan as a fighting force. If Shuten Doji himself is not responsible, then the father’s debt must be paid by the son and he can be found. The children are in charge.

Tomi Jiang nodded, believing that little monsters couldn't do things like kidnapping or killing.

By the time Hoshikuma Doji investigated the city, they had already seen the family that had developed.

It's a family that runs a liquor business. It's called the Hundred Ghosts constellation.

According to the time provided by Shuten Doji, the child who returned to his ancestors in this generation should be six years old.

But no matter how Fu Jiang used his face to increase his favorability, the information he got was that the owner only had a three-year-old son, not a six-year-old.

I finally got some news from the old man who had been working in the shop for a long time.

The boss's wife was pregnant seven years ago, but the baby was born dead. The boss's wife couldn't bear the blow, went insane, and finally committed suicide by drowning herself in the river.

The current three-year-old young master of my employer is the child of the wife he later remarried.

Tomie looked at Hoshikuma Doji silently, why didn't he do a good job of investigating the matter? Now that the trip was in vain, what are you going to do?

However, Xing Xiong Dozi put his arms around his shoulders and coaxed him: "You're already here, just treat it as a vacation here."

Tomie took another look at the town. It might be because the Hyakkiza family is here. As the leading company in the town, since this family operates drinks, the wine culture in the entire town is also very developed.

"If Shuten can come, I'll probably be very happy." Tomi Jiang walked on the street and looked around at all kinds of pubs.

On the way you can smell the aroma of alcohol permeating the entire street.

If you walk to a slightly remote place, you will smell the unique smell of brewing with a slightly sour and fermented smell.

"You don't want to buy him wine from here, do you?" Hoshikuma Doji frowned and made an exaggerated expression of disgust.

Tomie turned around and winked at Hoshikuma Doji. "I heard that a lot of wine here is specially supplied to the palace."

He wanted to bring some back to Shuten Doji.

"No, if he wants to drink, he can come by himself. The journey is nothing to the monster." Hoshikuma Doji refused directly, and then as if he remembered something, he added: "It's not convenient to bring something like alcohol back along the way. , you might as well see if there are any snacks or anything, and bring some for your friends."

Tomi Jiang nodded and turned to look at the local specialties.

Michizane Sugawara, the right minister during his lifetime, the posthumous minister of Taisheng, and the future god of learning, was actually very childish in private. The curse of a smoke was as heavy as the entire Sugawara House. He is usually keen on all kinds of pranks, which is the biggest reason why he can establish friendship with Hoshikuma Doji.

Of course, he is a person who has experienced ups and downs in the officialdom. Even if he is usually childish, he is still stable.

But this time, if you don't bring him a souvenir when you go back, he will definitely cause trouble in his own way.

He doesn't make trouble like Hoshikuma Doji and you can't avoid him even if you know about it, but it's annoying to always be on guard against him.

So Tomie started picking out various desserts along the way.

Of course it would be best if it can be customized. After it is customized, add three times the amount of sugar that ordinary people cannot tolerate.

Michizane Sugawara, a cursed spirit, had a craving for sweets. I wonder if he was like this during his lifetime?

After looking for Fujiang for a long time, I fell in love with a local kind of steamed buns made with distiller's grains.

The skin of the steamed buns is added with a little fermented grain during the brewing process, and the filling inside is also specially cooked red bean paste, with a lot of sugar and a little bit of rice wine added.

There will be a slight aroma of wine when you eat it, which integrates the local characteristics very well.

After trying it, Fujiang thought the steamed bun tasted very good and was asking the boss how long it would last.

A pair of small hands grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Fu Jiang looked down and his eyes widened in surprise.

It was a child with red hair, red yellow pupils, a very cute appearance, but an expressionless face.
