The wind is blowing.

At this time, except for the rustling sound when the treetops shook, the yard was inexplicably silent.

A group of onmyojis surrounded the door in silence, their weapons were still raised, but when they saw Gu Huo, they stopped their hands together, inexplicably caught by the other party's power.

Gu Huo passed the group of people, stood in front of Chu Zhou, and looked at them indifferently.

He always felt that something was wrong today, and his heart was always a little inexplicably heavy, and then he thought of the onmyoji who pretended to be unwell and went back to Chu's house in advance because of his clumsy acting skills.The Onmyoji was hostile towards him and always tried to find ways to unite with others to make trouble for him. It seemed strange to find an excuse to leave today, so he decided to come back and take a look while thinking about it.

result……

Gu Huo looked coldly at the leading Onmyoji among the group of people in front of him, but stretched out his hand to hold Chu Zhou's hand, feeling a little grateful in his heart.

If it hadn't been for him to come back and find out Chu Zhou's identity as a monster, maybe he would never see him again...

They were immersed in their own thoughts. At this time, there was a bustling sound outside the yard, noisy, and many people came here.

In the middle of a circle surrounded by a bunch of servants, is the face of the patriarch's benevolent but shining eyes.

After the incident here got serious, the patriarch hurried over when he heard the news of the monster.

When he walked in, he saw many onmyojis standing there, paused in his footsteps, his eyes darkened, and he didn't know what he was thinking.But he quickly returned to normal, passed through the crowd, and walked to the front, but was stunned when he saw Gu Huo.

When he received the news, he only knew that the monster was related to Chu Zhou, and he rushed over out of respect for Gu Huo, but he didn't expect that Gu Huo would come here before him.

Thoughts were churning in his heart, but he still smiled kindly on his face. He moved his eyes over and couldn't help but pause when he saw Chu Zhou.It turns out that this child is really a monster...

The patriarch narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Huo, his tone was still gentle, and said: "If he is a monster, he will be executed."

Gu Huo looked at him coldly and didn't speak.

The patriarch didn't care, he smiled, as if he was very kind, and continued: "However, if you want to keep him, you have to do something."

Gu Huo seemed to be interested, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that his reaction was expected, the patriarch smiled with satisfaction, and then said slowly: "Help us kill the ghost bird."

Gu Huo was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

The patriarch saw Gu Huo's stunned moment, as if worried about the other party's reluctance, he said: "Don't worry, as long as you can kill the ghost bird, you and him can leave here safely."

This is of course impossible, but if the other party can really kill the most powerful monster among the monsters and make his family famous and appreciated, then he can also consider keeping their lives.

Although Gu Huo didn't know exactly what the other party was thinking, he also knew that the final result would not be what the other party said.He looked at the patriarch coldly, and with a cold voice, he put forward his own conditions, "Yes, but I have a request."

The patriarch asked, "What?"

Gu Huo said coldly: "When I go out of the city to look for the ghost bird, I will take him with me." He looked at Chu Zhou who was standing quietly beside him, and got a soft smile.

"This..." The patriarch was about to refuse straight away, the two of them had nothing to worry about, if they went out together, they would not find a chance to disappear together.But he was worried that the other party would leave directly after refusing, and thought that the two of them had already entered the puppet formation, and they would find them back even if they left for a short time, so he nodded and agreed, "That's fine, but I just want to I'll give you a month's time."

"If you catch the ghost bird within a month, you guys leave. If you can't even see the shadow of the ghost bird within a month, then don't blame me for being cruel."

Gu Huo nodded and responded, "Okay."

In a few words, both sides reached a satisfactory result.

But there are always people who are sober. Among the group of onmyojis watching, after Gu Huo nodded, someone asked unhappily: "The child is a monster, so isn't his father a monster?"

Recently, they are almost familiar with Gu Huo's identity. The wife of "Gu Huo" is the daughter of the patriarch, so naturally she cannot be a monster, but their child is a monster, so Gu Huo... is naturally a monster.Otherwise, could it be that two humans gave birth to a monster?

After the man spoke, before Gu Huo had time to say anything, the patriarch lowered his face, the face that had been smiling all the time turned gloomy, looked straight over, and said coldly: "There is only one monster here. "

After he said this, he seemed to feel that he had overreacted a bit, so that what he said was not rigorous enough, so he hurriedly ordered: "Don't talk about this matter again in the future!"

The man didn't realize the patriarch's dissatisfaction, thinking that the patriarch just wanted to cover up the fact that Gu Huo was also a monster, and he was still muttering, "Obviously Gu Huo is a monster, otherwise, could it be his wife..." Although the rest of the people were silent, they secretly doubted it in their hearts.

Gu Huo didn't want the matter to continue, he looked at the man indifferently, secretly mobilized a little power, pressed him straight, and asked, "Am I a monster?"

Although it was an interrogative sentence, when it came out of his mouth, there was a deterrent aura, and it was so high and indifferent that there was a strange force that made the man stop speaking and fell silent.The man was still thinking in his heart, with such an aura, it is impossible for him to be a monster...

Seeing that the situation was finally settled, the patriarch first praised the group of onmyojis for their behavior, and then used the reason of gathering random people to avoid practice, and announced that they would not be taken to play in future outings. Only after the conditions established by him can he regain the initial opportunity.

Although the group of people in front of them seemed very regretful and pitiful, and left one after another, the patriarch was not soft-hearted, and could even be said to be a little excited.

——He didn't like other people going against his wishes, let alone so many people came here without notice.

Of course, what he cared more about was that those people almost told his secret.

——The reason why he still wants to use Gu Huo's ability, instead of thinking that the other party is a monster, and he dare not use the other party again, is naturally because the monster he knows is someone else.

his daughter.

To be precise, his daughter is half human and half demon, but because she doesn't have any characteristics of a monster, no one knows her exact identity.

He also almost forgets these things sometimes.

So on the one hand, he felt that his daughter was a human being, so he forgot the possibility that Chu Zhou would be a monster.On the other hand, half of his daughter's monster lineage has always been hidden in his memory, so when he saw that Chu Zhou was a monster, he didn't have the slightest doubt about Gu Huo. The monster gene that came down suddenly exploded.

At this time, he even felt a little relaxed suddenly, but because Gu Huo is still useful, he must have a normal identity, so he can't let others think that Gu Huo is a monster, and he doesn't want others to know that he has been hiding it for many years. secret.

But he was helpless. After the fact that Chu Zhou was a monster broke out, one of Chu Zhou's parents must also be a monster.

Therefore, he could only order others not to discuss this matter. He thought, after this turmoil, Gu Huo might be useless. At that time, he could also target Gu Huo. The family still has no flaws.

The patriarch is still trying to hide this ridiculous fact - as the head of the Onmyoji family, he has a half-human, half-demon daughter.

Gu Huo quickly discovered the discord just now. After all, at the moment when he discovered that Chu Zhou was a monster, most people would think of him as a monster when they saw him. It is a bit unbelievable that people would completely forget such a simple reasoning.

He vaguely guessed that not only Chu Zhou's father, but even Chu Zhou's mother must have been a monster before... and the patriarch should also know about it.

When he thought of this, he was a little surprised. He thought that onmyojis hated monsters... But it didn't have much to do with him after all. With the back of my mind, the most urgent thing is to find an opportunity to take Chu Zhou out of here first.

At this time, the patriarch once again asked him to complete the task as soon as possible, and then left in a hurry.

At this time, Gu Huo finally had a chance to get along with Chu Zhou. He turned around and wanted to reach out to hug Chu Zhou as before, but he was surprised that the other party was indeed very big, and he was no longer what he used to be. Then he paused for a moment, then put his outstretched hand on the top of the other person's hair, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Chu Zhou shook his head and said, "It's okay." He watched the group of people talk in riddles for a while before leaving, and felt strange in his heart.

Gu Huo then said: "Then let's leave now." Regarding Chu Zhou's vitality issue, he already had a clue, and when he went out, they stayed away from the formation, and he would definitely find a way before his vitality was exhausted.No matter what, it's better than staying here to attract everyone's attention.

Chu Zhou nodded, held the other's hand, and said obediently, "Okay."

Gu Huo smiled, touched the hair on the top of his head, and said softly: "Then go and tidy up."

Chu Zhou looked at the room carefully, but he didn't find many things that he had to take away. Moreover, if he brought too many things, it would be easy for others to find out. Much more streamlined, with only one or two necessary things.

"Let's go." Gu Huo stretched out his hand to hold Chu Zhou's hand, and pulled him over, just like when he was a child, he was about to walk out with him.

"Wait," Chu Zhou yelled softly when he was already out of the door, and explained when Gu Huo looked over suspiciously, "I forgot to find Guanhu..."

Gu Huo frowned indistinctly.

Chu Zhou let go of the hands they held, and Gu Huo's frown became more obvious.

But no one noticed.

Chu Zhou walked quickly to the table and pulled out Guanhu's bamboo tube from the edge, but as expected, Guanhu was not in the bamboo tube.

"..." Chu Zhou was silent for a moment, and then said, "I know where he is, let me go find him."

Gu Huo glanced at him and said in a low voice, "I'm with you."

Chu Zhou opened his mouth. He originally wanted to refuse, but thought that he might meet other onmyojis on the road, so he agreed.

Fortunately, they didn't meet anyone else when they went to that yard. They quickly found Guan Hu, and after explaining to him what happened today, Guan Hu returned to the bamboo tube with the portrait.

Then they walked towards the gate.

This time, they really ran into someone else.

This is when passing through a courtyard, the people who were practicing at first happened to be resting, so when they passed by, they happened to pass in front of a group of people.

Fortunately, they didn't know whether they were not interested, or because of Gu Huo's strength, they just looked at the two from a distance and didn't make any moves.

When Chu Zhou passed in front of them, he saw Chu Chuan among them, and he froze for a moment.

The other party obviously saw him, but he was not as enthusiastic as before. His eyes flashed, as if he was a little guilty, and there was also a trace of fear or hostility towards the monster. In the end, he stood there far away and did not come over. .

Seeing the other party's performance, Chu Zhou lowered his eyes, not knowing how to react.

Gu Huo, on the other hand, didn't seem to notice their interaction, and just dragged Chu Zhou forward without paying any attention to irrelevant people.

So Chu Zhou didn't care anymore, and just followed Gu Huo forward.

When going out, although the patriarch was not too worried about the two of them leaving directly, he was also a little worried, so naturally he would not let them go out alone.

So when they were going to search for ghost birds outside the city, nearly ten more powerful onmyojis went with them.

Chu Zhou was a little worried at first, but seeing Gu Huo's indifferent appearance, he also relaxed, and looked forward to what was going to happen with peace of mind.

When the group of them came to the dense forest outside the city, the sun had already set in the west, the setting sun was like blood, and the clouds in the sky were burning like flames.

But there was some cool wind blowing in the forest, and the branches around him were swaying non-stop, rattling, showing a strange rhythm.

Two groups of people stood facing each other.

Chu Zhou and Gu Huo stood on the west side, and the rest of them faced them. The distance between them was no more than three people wide, but they were clearly separated and had no connection at all.

Someone raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Huo, with disdain flashing across his eyes, and perhaps a little jealousy, he said in a rather eccentric way: "The so-called most powerful onmyoji in the Chu family is so powerful that he can even give birth to a monster. I can't reach it..."

Chu Zhou was going to ask how Gu Huo was going to leave, but when he heard the voice, he looked over curiously, wondering who was so ignorant, even he knew that no one here should be able to beat Gu Huo of.

Gu Huo shook Chu Zhou's hand, and glanced over there coldly.

Their silence seemed to give the man courage. He kept talking, laughed loudly, and continued to mock: "Hahaha, he also said that he would kill the ghost bird within a month. I see, even the ghost bird You can't even find a single hair!"

The rest of the people responded with a very face-saving smile.

The man got excited, as if he could really outperform a powerful opponent by showing off his abilities, and the opponent didn't stop him, and the approval of the people around him also made him feel a little elated. He said loudly and triumphantly: " I didn’t say that, maybe I’m the only one here who has seen ghost birds.”

"Wow—" The people around were very shocked and cheered, but they had actually heard the other party tell this story eight hundred times. The so-called most powerful people, they also skillfully praised.

"—The ghost bird has a blue face and fangs, its body is as big as a room, its body is covered with black feathers, and each feather has eyes..."

The man was still talking, but Chu Zhou couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The man's speaking voice stopped suddenly, and he looked over with disdain, "Why, have you seen ghost birds?" He laughed, turned his head and wanted to continue his speech.

Chu Zhou was still smiling. Seeing that the other party was very serious, as if something was really happening, he even felt a little embarrassed for the other party.

Especially when he heard the other party say "ghost birds have four legs, they are used to travel between the ghost world and the human world, and they are called ghost birds because their original form is a dead bird", he wanted to get angry and couldn't help laughing , glanced at Gu Huo beside him, grinned, suppressed a smile, and said intermittently: "...have you really seen... a ghost bird?"

Gu Huo looked at Chu Zhou helplessly, and seeing that the other party was smiling very happily, she couldn't help but curled up her lips and smiled softly.

"Of course I've seen it before," the man paused, and then he said fluently, "I escaped from the ghost bird's grasp with all my might. I can see what the ghost bird looks like, and I didn't say it to show off. It’s just to let everyone know more about ghost birds.”

——In fact, he had never heard of anyone seeing a ghost bird, so he came up with such an idea, and it was never exposed by anyone. As time passed, he almost thought that he had really seen a ghost bird.

"Oh?" Chu Zhou looked at Gu Huo, and said slowly, "But, I have seen real ghost birds... But, it seems to be a little different from what you said..."
