Illumi dragged Yaksha to the official road, even if he resisted to death, he could not violate the validity of the contract.

Illumi sat on the side of the road and waited for a while, and calculated that more than half an hour had passed.

Seeing a group of people coming in this direction from a distance, Yasha's heart was pounding like a bone, and he couldn't calm down at all. He looked up at Illumi with a calm face frequently, wishing he could bite off his throat so that he could run away.

The leading onmyoji is a vigorous young man in his thirties.His appearance can only be regarded as handsome, not very handsome, but his facial features are clean.

"I knew you were here." The young man retreated to the left and right, stepped forward by himself, put his clothes in his pockets and sat next to Illumi.

The young man said softly with a smile: "I am Hitachi on the back of the mountain. I did a fortune-telling for myself this morning. It will be auspicious, and my wish will come true in due course." See the intent of any state of mind in his face.

Hitachi on the back of the mountain then looked at Yasha in Illumi's arms, "Is this your dog? Can you pet it?"

"My uncle is Yasha, don't touch me with your hands." Yasha twisted his head, not giving him any face.

Hitachi on the back of the mountain was not angry, and he would not touch it unless he touched it. Anyway, he was just looking for a topic.

"I once went to the soup house to meet the witch Granny Tang." Shanbei Hitachi thought for a while and said.

Yilumi nodded, of course you have met Granny Tang, otherwise why would you be stuck on this road?

……

The frog on duty slept soundly, and didn't even notice the Onmyoji coming from the other side of the bridge.

Granny Tang on the top floor was observing the quality of the recently acquired jewelry, and she almost instantly sensed that someone had entered her domain.

It's not a god, it's not a big monster, it's just an ordinary human being, some spiritual power is probably special?

Granny Tang put down the jewelry in her hand, put it into a jewelry box, and then disappeared in place.

The elves were directly awakened by Granny Tang. The severe headache in their sleep made them struggle to get out of the bed, put on their clothes and gathered on the first floor.

Granny Tang walked to the door, looking at the Onmyoji standing on the bridge, she couldn't help frowning.

On the back of the mountain, Hitachi leaned on the bridge railing with both arms, and seemed to be holding some kind of pastry in his hand.The crumbs and dregs were flying down into the water, and all kinds of goldfish came out of the water and scrambled to eat them.

The last bit of pastry was also fed to the goldfish, and Shanbei Hitachi looked at Granny Tang standing at the entrance of the soup house.The spirits huddled inside the door, as if they thought the two thin curtains could keep them out.

"Onmyoji, this is not a place where humans should come." Granny Tang said to Hitachi from afar without moving.

Shanbei Hitachi nodded, and then smiled, "Of course I know, but I have heard about soup houses in Maguo for a long time. My teacher also mentioned the name of Granny Tang." Shanbei Hitachi did not mention Qianbama. It's no fun talking about her.

"I came to the soup house because I want to ask for someone from you... oh no, it's a monster." Shanbei Hitachi stood there with a smile on his face, stroking his fingers lightly on the wooden handrail.

Granny Tang immediately thought of Illumi.Of course there are other monsters in the soup house, but only Illumi has a special origin and is worthy of being "coveted" by onmyojis.

"Is it your person who chased Gu Huo Niao?" Granny Tang rolled her eyes slightly, and then she lost her expression.

Hitachi on the back of the mountain smiled and shook his head, "Accurately speaking, he is my teacher. Although the intention of going to Mount Hiei is not for the cubs, who would think that the harvest is small?"

"Those paper figurines of your Onmyoji have ruined my entire wall." Granny Tang raised her hand, the jewels on her hand were shining brightly in the sunlight.

Shanbei Hitachi waved his hands behind him, and an onmyoji walked up to him holding a box.Hitachi on the back of the mountain took it, and two small paper figurines floated out of his arms, holding up the heavy box.

Shanbei Hitachi immediately opened the wooden box, and the silver light inside was a box of silver ingots.

"My teacher knew that I was going to the soup house, and specifically explained that these silver ingots are compensation for you, mother-in-law." Shanbei Hitachi waved his hand, and the little paper figurine came to Granny Tang holding the silver ingot box.

Granny Tang refused to pick it up, and asked her cronies to take it out from the paper figurine.

"Let's not go around in circles, just say what you have to say." Granny Tang's tone was arrogant and slow. Although there was only one box of silver ingots, at least the attitude of Hitachi at the back of the mountain was clear here, and she had a point in her heart.

"Of course, what I mean is that I hope you, Grandma, will give me that big tengu's cub." Yamabe Hitachi didn't hide his purpose, even though he knew that Granny Tang's greed would cost him a lot.

Granny Tang laughed, "You don't know the value of a big monster's cub. I can get a steady stream of wealth by raising him."

"Really?" Shanbei Hitachi smiled disapprovingly, "How long can a cub that is always malnourished live? Even with the blood of a big demon, it can't survive three years. My mother-in-law didn't seem to want to raise him from the beginning. Bar."

Sell ​​it to a big monster as rations or sell it to the gods as envoys.This may be the purpose of Granny Tang's initial decision to protect the cub.

How much can it sell for?At most one dendrobium of pearls, roughly equivalent to ten gold.

This is the initial value.If an ordinary cub of the blood of the big demon can be exchanged for ten pieces of gold, Granny Tang will think it is quite profitable.

But... according to some details of this cub that Shanbei Hitachi has learned.Ten-fold gold is far from satisfying Granny Tang who is blinded by profit.

"After all, if you live an extra year, you can earn a few more sums, and there is no cost at all, isn't it?" Shanbei Hitachi said politely.

"Since you know the benefits that cub can bring me, why don't you simply offer a price." Granny Tang didn't want to make circles with Hitachi on the back of the mountain, so she simply said directly.

"According to the current situation, the cub can live no more than three years, and he is less than one year old now. As far as I know, he can complete two orders a month, and twenty orders a year." Shanbei Hitachi As he narrated without delay, two onmyojis carried a large box to Hitachi on the back of the mountain.

Shanbei Hitachi didn't ask anyone to open the box, put his hands into his sleeves and said in a casual tone, "I came here with great sincerity, I don't know what kind of answer Granny Tang can give?"

The price cannot be reported first, otherwise the opportunity will be lost.Shanbei Hitachi has an attitude of taking no time to rush, as if success or failure is not important at all.

He was not in a hurry, but Granny Tang was a little anxious.Of course Granny Tang knows how she feeds Illumi.Don't mention three years, whether you can survive this year is another matter.

Ever since Ilumi made enough gold for Granny Tang, Granny Tang has maintained the attitude that making more money is a fortune, and turned a blind eye to the drowned woman's feedback on Ilumi's physical condition.

The box of Shanbei Hitachi is his attitude, and what he is waiting for is "inspection".

Granny Tang thought about it, and urged the contract to summon Illumi.

However, when the power was sent out, there was no response like a stone sinking into the sea.Granny Tang tried again, but there was also no response.

This means that his contract... is void.Granny Tang knew very well that the contract she signed at that time was fine.After the contract was completed, she experimented, and the result was naturally successful.

The current situation can only show that the cub died...

"I'm afraid you are late, that cub is already dead." Granny Tang turned the ring in her hand, and said lightly: "This task is very difficult. I just received a summons from him a few days ago. Mission time. I didn’t reply, and he never sent back any news, and the contract between me and him has disappeared.”

Shanbei Hitachi frowned slightly, "May I ask where he is on this mission?"

Granny Tang "showed mercy" and didn't ask for money. "In Kyoto, if you don't believe that he is dead, I can also tell you his real name."

Granny Tang flipped through her hand, and a piece of paper appeared between her two fingers.Granny Tang threw the piece of paper out, and the paper flew up lightly, and then slowly fell in front of Hitachi on the back of the mountain like a fallen leaf.

……

"Can you show me that piece of paper?" Illumi stretched out his hand while staring at the cat.

Without hesitation, Yamabe Hitachi took the paper out of his pocket and handed it to Illumi.

Illumi spread out the paper, it was a contract.The contracted person's name is filled with the strange combination of "Mitsu Mori Illumi".

"This name is not your real name, is it?" Yamabe Hitachi asserted, "Yinyangliao is located in Fujiwarakyo, and it took only one day to travel between Tajima and Kyoto by oborosan, but I had never heard of it before going to Tajima. There is news of the assassination of some important figure in Kyoto."

"This name is very strange." Illumi put down the paper and said in a flat tone.

"I have studied the witch's contract, and it has never been invalid since its birth. As long as you get a real name, you will be subject to the witch, and the contract is now invalid. I thought it was because the contract was not successful before." Shanbei Hitachi was not in a hurry While chatting about business with Illumi, he slowly began to narrate his mental journey.

"But I thought about it again, Granny Tang wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. And she was very decisive to confirm your death at that time, maybe... the cub who signed the contract with her at that time had already died, and the cub living in this body It's another soul." Shanbei Hitachi smiled slowly, with a soft tone.

Considering what Illumi had done that he had collected.Even the monster Zaohui couldn't do this.

It's too skillful not to use demon power to kill people, twist the neck or take the heart directly.This is simply impossible for a cub that is less than a year old and still struggling with monster instincts.

Hitachi at the back of the mountain thought that there was a former big demon living in the body of this cub.And Illumi's silent and deep attitude seemed to unknowingly aggravate his guess.

Then it was discovered that the white-haired dog in Illumi's arms was the incarnation of the notorious Yasha.Subconsciously, Yamabe Hitachi completely believed that Illumi was the reincarnation of a great demon.

Illumi's face was expressionless, but he couldn't help but tremble when he heard the words of Hitachi on the back of the mountain.

Does he know that he is not from this world?But what if you know?In this negotiation, this one can only increase his own weight.For Yamabei Hitachi, why did he take the initiative to expose this point?To prove his wisdom?This may seem shallow.

Illumi's expression didn't change, and the speed at which he stroked his hands didn't change at all, as if everything was under control.

Only Yasha lowered his head and grinned.The strength of this hand is a bit strong, and it hurts... But Yasha still dare not say it, so he can only stand upright with tears in his eyes.The last time he thought Illumi's hands were too strong, he was almost bald.

If he knew what Ilumi was thinking right now, he would definitely complain involuntarily, "I'm so flustered in my heart, why pretend to be as stable as a dog on the surface!"

"So?" Illumi's glass-colored cat eyes were still silent and out of focus, no one knew what was going on in his mind.

"Master Shanbei! There is a big monster approaching!" The onmyoji not far away noticed something and couldn't help warning.

Illumi knew it in her heart, and if nothing unexpected happened... "It's Ibaraki-douji who came."

"I don't mind being your shikigami. Ibaraki just came here as a friend, not an enemy." Faced with the tense look on the mountain back Hitachi, Illumi relaxed instead.

The monsters who support the scene are here, are you afraid that the agreement has an overlord clause?
