The Mysterious Journey of the Blue Lantern

Under the continuous large and small tasks of the system for three consecutive weeks, Qing Deng's level finally reached level [-].But during these three weeks, he still hadn't found the mysterious monster.On the contrary, he recognized all the monsters in the back mountain.

On this day, Qing Deng wanted to go up the back mountain for a stroll as usual, when someone's voice sounded vaguely in the distance, he couldn't help but listen carefully.

"Village Chief, isn't it good to go into the mountains like this? There are monsters in this mountain forest." Then I heard the slightly trembling voice of a middle-aged man.

"Nonsense, there are no monsters in the back mountains. Before that devil was born, our village was fine!" Another old voice sounded slightly calmer.

"That's right, it's this little monster who harmed our village!"

"Yes!" Following the voice, I saw a few people dressed as villagers carrying a 4 or 5-year-old child.He kept muttering in his mouth, what kind of devil, what kind of village.But because he was too far away, he didn't hear it very clearly.

"Ah!" With a shrill scream, a thick black mist enveloped a villager's body and instantly swallowed him up.The rest of the villagers were so frightened that they dropped the children they were carrying and ran away in a hurry.At this time, the black mist seemed to have something more attractive to him, so he stopped chasing the fleeing villagers, and saw it quickly enveloped the child.

After Qing Deng heard the scream, he rushed there quickly, only to see that the monster he had been looking for for a long time was covering the child, and he immediately activated his skill "soul-absorbing lamp".

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Ibaraki Doji looked at the humans who left him and fled in a panic, and watched the black smoke cover his body little by little.He clearly felt that his strength was losing little by little, and he thought very calmly: It seems that he is really going to die this time.

At this moment, the black smoke that had been covering him for some reason slowly dissipated with a scream.He felt himself embraced by a pair of warm hands.When he saw the exquisite and beautiful facial features and the eyes like a sparkling river under the moonlight, he felt that his dark world was suddenly illuminated.Even though those blue eyes seemed extremely cold, in his opinion, they were a warmth he had never seen before, and became an indelible color in his black memory.

He seemed to be obedient and carefully pulled the cuff of the "woman" in front of him with his hands, and called out: "Sister." After speaking, he looked at him expectantly with his golden red eyes, but saw the "woman" in front of him ’ For some reason, his expression seemed to be choked. After a while, he sighed and said helplessly: "It's brother, don't call me wrong again."

"Brother" No matter what the reason is, the older brother will be better than the older brother. Anyway, it will not have a particularly big impact on him, Ibaraki thought silently.

Seeing Xiaotuanzi obediently changing his name to elder brother, Qingdeng's heart suddenly melted. He suppressed his own excitement, then rubbed Xiaotuanzi's fluffy silver hair with his hands, and found that there were two hairs on the top of his head. The asymmetrical horns and the silver-haired red horns don't look like a human being at all. No wonder these villagers call them devils and throw them away here. After thinking about it, he lowered his head and asked Xiaotuanzi seriously: "Little guy, what is your name ?”

"Ibaraki Doji." Xiaotuanzi replied in his slightly childish voice, although Qing Deng was so frightened by this answer that he almost threw the Xiaotuanzi out of his hand. Horns, ghost claws, isn't that the symbol of Ibaraki Doji?But he is still very weak at this time, so it is no wonder he will hate humans so much after being treated like this by humans.

Seeing Qingdeng's distraction, Ibaraki tugged at the corner of Qingdeng's clothes uneasy, and asked cautiously, "Brother?"

Seeing Xiao Ibaraki's uneasy expression, Qingdeng's thoughts disappeared, and he lowered his head and said to Xiao Ibaraki in his most gentle voice: "Then Xiao Ibaraki, would you like to go home with brother and let brother take care of you?"

"Think!" Hearing Xiao Ibaraki's answer without the slightest hesitation, Qing Deng patted him on the head more pitifully, gently hugged him on the Qingxing staff and flew back.

"Ding, complete the task to find the mysterious monster, destroy it, and reward two-star star-up star symbol x 4, high-level thunder drum x 4, skin ticket x 30. Note: star-up charm can replace full-level shikigami of the same star level Yu Shengxing."

"Ding, discover and complete the hidden mission, discover and conquer the ssr shikigami Ibaraki Doji, reward: the mall interface opens, skin x 400, three-star star-up symbol x 5, two-star star-up charm x 10, advanced thunder drum x 10."

Accustomed to the blue light of the system's convulsions from time to time, he heard the sound and flew back to the temple with Xiao Ibaraki in his arms. After several weeks of cleaning and improvement, the temple is no longer the dilapidated appearance it used to be.When the blue lantern returned to the courtyard, the broom gods quickly surrounded him.

"Master Qingdeng, you can have a good rest today, we have already finished the thing called 'bed' according to what you said, go and have a look^o^" The broom gods looked at Qingdeng and said excitedly .

"It's really hard work for you. By the way, this is Ibaraki Doji. You must get along well." The broom gods followed and saw Xiao Ibaraki in Qingdeng's arms glanced at them with sharp golden-red eyes. Feeling a gust of cold air from the feet to the heart, I shivered.Quickly responded: "Yes, yes!!! Master Qingdeng!"

Hearing the answer that Qingdeng didn't feel anything, he took Ibaraki and led him to open the door and walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a bed made by broom gods in the southeast corner. It was very big. Also very tidy.The bed is a little rough, it seems that they stole it from the people's house down the mountain, but you can still see the care of the decorator, Qing Deng smiled happily after seeing it.He squatted down and touched Xiao Ibaraki's head, and said, "Little Ibaraki will live here with my brother tonight, okay?"

"Well, good!" Xiao Ibaraki seemed very happy, his cute big eyes blinked, and his heart softened when he saw it.

After placing Ibaraki, Qing Deng checked the newly added mall, and found a set of blue kimono in the skin column, which is the only clothing that does not look too feminine in this bunch of skins. The volume needs exactly 400 sheets. After clicking to buy and wearing it, the skirt of the green lamp instantly becomes a long blue twelve-piece kimono that reaches the ground. The lower edge of the skirt is engraved with countless dark lines of silver thread, showing an inexplicable sense of mystery and luxury.

Qingdeng took a look at his clothes, although he was still not very satisfied, but it was much better than the short cyan furisode kimono.After that, he promoted himself to three stars with his happiness.Afterwards, he used the Ascension Talisman to rise to three stars. When he returned to the house, he saw Ibaraki sitting by the bed in the same posture as when he went out. Qing Deng rushed over and asked, "Why don't you go to bed and rest?"

"Wait for brother." Xiao Ibaraki looked up at him seriously and replied.After these three weeks of experience, I suddenly heard a person say that I would wait for myself to rest together.Hearing this, a wave of warmth surged into his heart again and again, suppressing his exhaustion and anxiety in the past few weeks, he gently hugged Xiao Ibaraki and patted it a few times, saying: "Okay, let's rest together. "
