[Comprehensive] You see, this pot is big and round

There was an unbearably hot feeling in the air. Although there was a drizzle of rain, it didn't dilute the heat at all.The tomb-suppressing beast Yichui let out a long yawn, waiting for the night to come quickly.

At that time, it will be cool down, he thought.

He was almost too hot to bear.

Since the sneaking evil god was sealed by Gao Tianyuan again, his free and easy days are over.On the charge of dereliction of duty, Gao Tianyuan ordered him to guard this place again, even if the flame of divine wrath completely disappeared, he could not leave here.

If he dared to disobey, then he would become the evil god's lunch.

Yibuki didn't want to be torn into nine pieces by the evil god's nine snake heads, so he could only restrain his temper and obediently obey the instructions of Gao Tianyuan, not daring to take a step away from here.

As for those happy days in the past, they are all in the past.He could no longer stretch out his claws cheekily to ask passers-by for small dried fish, and he could no longer lean into the Onmyoji's ear and whisper something like "Onmyoji, don't be lazy".

Recalling the past, Ibuki couldn't help but want to sigh, the past is gone.

All he has now is just this square inch of open space.There is no delicious dried fish, no stupid onmyoji who is willing to listen to him, not even a single visitor.

Since the day when he came back here to perform his duty of guarding, no one has come to see him, as if everyone has forgotten the existence of the Tomb Guard Beast.

He watched the peach trees on the opposite mountain put out new branches in spring, and shed dead leaves in late autumn. The light pink flowers could be seen dozens of miles away, and the dead branches in winter were almost integrated with the vast sky.

Later, the huge peach tree was cut down by the villagers on the mountain.At the moment the peach tree fell, Ibuki seemed to hear its cry.

From then on, he was the only one left standing alone between the heaven and the earth, guarding the evil god who violated Gao Tianyuan's will.

Strictly speaking, he wasn't actually alone either.Behind this heavy black iron gate behind him, there is still a "partner", but Ibuki never regards him as a partner, and he never cares about himself.

That evil god is quite honest, since he was suppressed again until now, he has not made a sound for a long time. If he could not often hear the greasy sound of scales scratching the ground, Yibuki would really think that he does not exist.

This kind of life is really lonely to the extreme, and even the end cannot be glimpsed.Now Ibuki has nothing else to ask for, he just hopes that someone can come to see him, even if he just walks past him on Weibo, even if the visitor is the god of Gao Tianyuan.No matter who came over, he could put on a smiling face, rub his legs affectionately, and meow a few times.

This is not flattery!

Of course, Ibuki knew very well.It's useless for him to bother to please, and Gao Tianyuan will not free himself from the duty of guarding the evil god.

what--

He yawned again and narrowed his small eyes.He tilted his neck, lifted his hind legs and scratched the top of his head, and decided to put away his unrealistic delusions.

Anyway, no one will come, so what are you thinking about...

Footsteps were heard not far away.Little by little, approach him.

Yi blows his ears.The footsteps were so clear, but he doubted that he just heard it wrong.

No one will come here.he thinks.

Breaking through the rain, a hazy figure came towards him.He opened his eyes and looked at her with narrow eyes.

Hmm...she looks really similar to the god named Suzuka Gozen from Takamahara...

Suzuka put away the umbrella and shook it vigorously to dry the raindrops before slowly folding the umbrella.When you get to this position, you won't get caught in the rain again.

The black door stands in front of her.It is clear that so many years have passed, but the gate has not rusted at all.On it, engraved with complicated incantations, Suzuka couldn't understand much, but she could tentatively understand what it meant.

There was only a big fat cat with three flowers standing guard at the door. It seemed that something was wrong, but Suzuka knew that he was right.

The Yamata no Orochi is sealed here. In the past, like her, she was a god exiled innocently by Takamahara.However, the second suppression this time can be regarded as what they deserved.He did not fall to the end of death, but still lived on in the world.

As for why he ended up like this, the reason is unknown.Maybe it's because living in loneliness is a more difficult punishment than being easily expelled--this is true for both Yamata no Orochi and Ibuki.

"Hey, who are you?"

Yibuki raised his head to look at her, his green eyes were full of vigilance.

He was really happy to see a big living person.But that doesn't mean he will forget his duty.

Although he can't change back to the handsome and unrestrained appearance of the tomb-slayer beast, and can only take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the evil god with the image of a cat, he still regards himself as a tomb-slayer beast very seriously!

"Hmm... so you can talk." Suzuka put the umbrella against the gate and bowed to him, "I'm sorry to disturb you, Graveslayer."

The sound of "Master" coaxed Yi Chui into elation, and his tail raised up unconsciously, swinging back and forth.

Seeing Suzuka reach into the backpack, Ibuki's tail went up even higher.

"That's right, I have something to ask you." Suzuka pushed the small fish to Ibuki's paw, "Can you let me in for a while? I won't let him out."

"Humph--"

Ibuki narrowed his eyes, his beard trembled.Even though his paws had already pressed the small dried fish, he still didn't say a word, and he didn't say whether it was "permitted" or "not allowed".

Suzuka quickly took out the whole bag of dried fish, and gave it to Yibuki as a respect.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" he asked.

Suzuka hesitated for a while, but couldn't answer—not so much that he couldn't answer, but rather that he didn't want to answer.

Ibuki knew what she was thinking.He stopped asking, and picked up the dried fish.

"If Gao Tianyuan finds out by then, don't confess me."

"Thank you!" Suzuka rubbed his fat face, and put the umbrella beside him, "I'll be out soon. Thank you very much."

Pushing open the heavy black iron gate, Suzuka walked inside.Her figure disappeared into the darkness.

The door closed again.

The air was cloudy, and all that could be seen was darkness, without any light.Suzuka slowly moved deeper.

Although she can't see anything, she can feel everything.

In the deepest place, the evil god is imprisoned.

I came here this time to pray for help from Yamata no Orochi.

It would obviously be extremely difficult for Gao Tianyuan to make them realize their mistake before Gao Tianyuan did something to her, if she was alone.Whether it's for self-preservation, or has to evolve into violence in the end, she needs more strength.

Yato couldn't ask, Suzuka didn't want to involve him in his own delusional thoughts.He was not familiar with Bishamonten, so it was impossible to tell her about it.But the Devil King of the fourth day is in a stage where he can't protect himself, Suzuka doesn't want to bother him.

He has done a lot for himself and Suzuka has nothing in return.There is only one thing she can do now - keep him out of the matter, and don't let him be infected with her own arrogant thoughts.

That's why I thought of Yamata no Orochi, although the relationship between them was just a nodding acquaintance before.

However, it was a bit unexpected to be able to get here so smoothly.Perhaps the tomb-slayer is also disgusted with his work.

In the darkness, Yamata no Orochi opened his eyes.That icy body was wrapped around Suzuka's neck, and beside her ears was the hissing sound of spitting, and she could smell a damp smell.

He froze in place, not daring to move half a minute.

The voice of Yamata no Orochi echoed in this huge space.

"Here comes a little fox..."

He seems to be smiling.

Suzuka was a little scared of him, but still mustered up his courage.

"The evil god exiled by Gao Tianyuan." She said, "I need your strength. I want Gao Tianyuan to realize their mistake."

These words must have touched something, Suzuka felt his breathing stop.The body of the snake wrapped around her receded, and Yamata no Orochi stood in front of her.

"It is indeed an arrogant fox." He smiled softly, "Gao Tianyuan also failed you?"

"You can understand that."

"I really don't want to change forever, this rotten heaven." He sighed softly, "Stretch out your hand."

A scale was placed in the palm of her hand.

"This is part of my strength, and I will lend it to you for the time being." He said, "When you break the day, remember to come back and tell me everything. I also want to know how Gao Tianyuan failed you."

He disappeared into the depths.

Suzuka hid the scales and left quickly.She didn't want to stay for too long, until Yamata no Orochi regretted it.

Leaving from the black iron gate, Suzuka was not used to the stuffy air for a while.Ibuki was rubbing his cheek with his front paw very seriously, and didn't pay attention to her.He only ate one of the whole bag of dried fish.

Suzuka put up the umbrella again and left quietly.

"Hey you."

Yibui called her to stop.

"I don't know what you are going to do, and I don't want to know. But no matter what you do, you should think twice.

"Don't make a decision that you and others will regret."

Ibuki's words lingered in Suzuka's heart - but it was obviously just a trivial sentence, why should she care?

Walking all the way down the mountain, near the door of the house, the rain stopped.She puts away the umbrella.

When he raised his head again, several figures appeared in front of the empty door.

A girl in a pure white kimono stood at the door of Yagi's house, and two other people stood beside her, their faces were covered with white gauze, making it difficult to see their faces clearly.The girl's light-colored long hair like sunlight spread over her shoulders. When she heard the movement, she raised her head, and the color of the sky was reflected in her eyes.

"Yagi Suzuka, right?"

Her voice was ethereal as if it came from the sky.

Umbrella stood still in the air, Suzuka looked at the girl blankly.

Suzuka had never seen her, neither then nor now, never.However, he knew her name.

That is the name that every god, even human beings, will remember.

"My name is Amaterasu, representing Gao Tianyuan's will, and I meet you."

The author has something to say:

Seriously, my cat and Ibuki really look alike

Even the round belly looks like...
