The next day was another boring day.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga was forcibly dragged up by the first phase: "Think about your bonus and companions."

"I don't want it anymore." Tsurumaru Kuninaga said holding the quilt.

One issue, one shock: "..."

Ibaraki-douji was also a little hungover. After being woken up by the pair next to him, he patted Shuten-douji in a daze, and said, "Let's go back to Oeyama."

Jiu Tun-douji was also a little sleepy, but the good habit he had developed over the years, even if he hadn't woken up, he could wake himself up immediately: "The person hasn't been found yet."

Ibaraki Doji said helplessly: "The people from the God Judge didn't come, and the person in charge of Hitoyoshi City fell down again. What are you looking for?"

"That's why I'm looking for it." Shuten Doji said, "The big tengu and the fox are the monsters of Heian-kyo. Anyone can stop looking for them, but we can't."

Ibaraki-douji looked up at Shuten-douji for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."

Just when the four of them finally got up and were about to set off to look for suspicious points, they found a little old man lying in front of the shrine, with an empty wine bottle beside him.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga howled, "My rice wine!"

"Is this human?" Yiqi Yizhen stepped forward and took a look.

"I don't care if he's a man or a demon." Tsurumaru Kuninaga rolled up his sleeves, "I traded glass beads for this rice wine with Fat Cat."

In the first phase, he was shocked and said: "You exchange glass beads for wine?"

"That thing is worthless, it came from the ball room." Tsurumaru Kuninaga said while picking up the little old man on the ground, and dug into his pocket, but found nothing.

After this movement, the little old man also woke up dazedly.He squinted his eyes and looked at the four people around him, suddenly turned over, turned around and wanted to escape.

Ibaraki Doji was standing on the stairs, and he grabbed the little old man by the collar as soon as he stretched out his hand, a little surprised: "This is a monster."

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the little old man huddled in a corner in frustration, and lamented, "I promised Natsume-sama would not show up."

Ibaraki Doji let go of his hand: "Who are you?"

"Just pretend you haven't been seen by us." Tsurumaru Kuninaga smiled and held out his hand, "Just give me the money for the drink."

The little old man was taken aback: "I have no money."

Yizheng asked in the first issue: "Are you a monster sent by Natsume Takashi?"

"Not really." The little old man scratched his head with a smile, pointed to the dilapidated shrine behind him, and said, "This is my home."

Tsurumaru Kuninaga was taken aback, and said: "There is no monster who owns the shrine, you can draw your own territory."

"Not really." The little old man was still smiling, "Master Natsume said that some distinguished guests are coming, so I just tidied up here."

Regardless of whether this shrine is the little old man's home or not, he said so, and if not, it must be.Now that you live in someone else's house, there is no reason to take someone's wine money.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga felt deeply aggrieved, this rice wine was strong and pure, not high in strength, sweet in taste, drinking two cups a day, happy like a god.

It just disappeared.

"Did you just say the price of this wine?" The little old man shook the empty bottle and said with a smile, "This wine is made by the monsters in Houlin. They hold a reception every few days. If you like it, You can go and have a look at it tonight."

Tsurumaru Kuninaga's eyes lit up: "Really?"

So the four of them searched for suspicious points, and went to a monster reception.

"One more bowl! Fill it up!"

"Hiss—this wine is pure! Keep going!"

"I only drank a few bowls! You just fell down?!"

……

This is the first time Ibaraki Doji has felt the true local customs and monsters since he came to Hitoyoshi.

The fat cat next to Natsume Takashi was surrounded by a group of monsters, and people kept pouring wine for him.Three of his four paws had wine bowls on them, and he was blushing and bumping bowls with monsters, laughing and cursing constantly.

The other monsters also came in groups of three or four, rejoicing at each other, and all kinds of fine wines were sent out continuously, which reminded Ibaraki Doji of the scene of a banquet held on Oe Mountain hundreds of years ago.

At that time, there was neither Abe Seimei nor Yuan Boya. Humans and monsters were not in harmony, but they did not interfere with each other.Human society is constantly at war, but the world of monsters is always carnival and enjoying the life of monsters.

Shuten-douji is the master of the great rivers and mountains, and like this fat cat, he is constantly surrounded and sought after by people at the banquet, enjoying the superior respect and a steady stream of fine wine.And Ibaraki Doji had stayed on Dajiang Mountain for hundreds of years at that time, and he was also awed by monsters and served by monsters.

However, this kind of life was gone hundreds of years ago. After the end of hundreds of years of chaos, human beings began to be afraid of the existence of monsters, and they wanted to eliminate hidden dangers.But the monsters who have coexisted peacefully for hundreds of years began to restless again, repeated the mistakes of human beings, and started internal struggles.

It has been in turmoil for an unknown number of years, and it was not until Abe Seimei appeared more than ten years ago that the never-ending struggle between humans and monsters finally showed signs of ending.

Seeing this bustling monster reception again now, Ibaraki Doji almost instantly forgot the idea of ​​wanting to beat the fat head and big ears, rushed up and snatched the bowl of wine from the fat cat's lap, and drank it with his head up.

Suddenly a strange monster broke in, and there was a commotion from the other end, which soon merged into the atmosphere amidst all kinds of laughter and cursing.

Shuten-douji shook his head, of course he understood what Ibaraki-douji was thinking, even when he saw the forest full of monsters, lights, fine wine and laughter for the first time, he couldn't help throbbing in his heart.

But he obviously thinks more than Ibaraki Doji, this is a different city after all, surrounded by monsters from different cities, their monster power is restricted, no matter how shocked they are, they must not let down their vigilance.

However, there is still Tsurumaru Kuniyong and the first phase of Yizheng.

As soon as Shutendouji turned his head, he saw Tsurumaru Kuninaga jumping up and down to ask for rice wine. Ikki Ikshin and Foxanosuke couldn't hold him back, so they had to hang on him and follow him.

Shuten-douji: "..."

That's it.

Ibaraki Doji and Mr. Mao have already settled their grievances with a bowl of wine, and in less than 5 minutes, they have new and old grudges inexplicably.

"If you fight for wine, you will fight for wine!" Ibaraki Doji directly skipped the slightly drunk and entered the half-drunk mode.He sat cross-legged, slapped his legs vigorously, and roared aggressively, "You're just a fat cat, I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

"What did you say?!" Teacher Cat squeezed out a vein mixed with fat on his forehead, "Little Yidu, I advise you not to be so rampant!"

"Heh." Ibaraki Doji raised the empty bowl, and soon a monster filled him with wine. He gulped it down and looked at Mr. Cat provocatively.

Not to be outdone, Mr. Cat raised wine bowls on all four feet, pouring one bowl after another into his mouth, and soon won cheers one after another.

Shuten-douji looked at Ibaraki-douji's posture and estimated that he would collapse within 10 minutes.

Ibaraki Doji's drinking capacity is not good, and he can't drink a few bowls when drinking on the Dajiang Mountain. Thanks to the low alcohol content of the rice wine, he can pretend to be aggressive in front of this group of alien monsters.

Shuten-douji slowly walked to Ibaraki-douji's side, seeing his precarious appearance, he grasped the timing with one hand to support his shoulder, took the wine bowl in his hand with the other, and drank it down in one gulp.

All the monsters were taken aback for a moment. Seeing the sudden appearance of Jiu Tun-douji, Mr. Cat snorted: "The monsters in different cities fight with wine or fight with wheels?"

Shuten-douji laid Ibaraki-douji flat on the ground, let his head rest on his lap, and gently stroked his slightly flushed cheeks with his thumb.Then he raised his wine bowl to all the monsters present, and said, "You guys arrange them in order, and I will solve them one by one."

All the monsters boiled up, and the reception lasted until the middle of the night. The number of fallen monsters gradually increased, but scattered noises could still be heard.

Shuten Doji's circle of monsters had already been brought down by him, and Teacher Cat also fell asleep in a daze, with his head stuck in the wine bowl.

There seemed to be a sober monster in the distance who wanted to challenge Shuten-douji, and it happened that Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was carrying two bottles of rice wine, came over at this moment, and asked a little tiredly, "Go back?"

"Back." Shuten-douji nodded slightly, stood up, and carried Ibaraki-douji on his back.

The way back was quiet, and the moonlight shone in the woods, dragging out shadows.

When Ibaraki fell asleep, he didn't make any noise, he lay quietly on Shuten-douji's shoulder, and the sound of breathing evenly and gently sprayed on Shuten-douji's neck, which made him a little dry.

Fortunately, Tsurumaru Kuninaga was making a fuss all the way, which distracted Shuten-doji a little.

After struggling all night for the first issue, he finally returned to the shrine. Seeing Ibaraki-douji in Shuten-douji's arms was quiet and well-behaved, he was deeply heartbroken.It took a lot of effort, and after finally coaxing Tsurumaru Kuninaga to sleep, he fell asleep after a while, and sat alone on the steps at the entrance of the shrine, looking at the moonlight in a trance.

The little old man appeared out of nowhere, looking at the two bottles of rice wine behind Yiqi Yizhen with a smile on his face.

It was just snatched from Tsurumaru Kuninaga's hands, and he repeatedly told him to hide it no less than ten times, and drink it tomorrow night.

One issue and one shock decisively handed it to the little old man: "Here."

The little old man took it happily, and said with a smile, "You are good people just like Natsume-sama."

After reading the first issue, this little old man is a rare humanoid monster in Renyoshi City, and his attire is also different from the sloppy appearance of ordinary monsters. He looks clean and neat, and he looks quite formal.He looked at it for a moment and asked, "What kind of monster are you?"

"I'm not a monster." The little old man kept smiling and drank a glass of wine.

"Then you..." Yiqi Yizhen was taken aback suddenly, "Are you a god?"

"Ah, not really." The little old man waved his hand, "No one remembers me except Natsume-sama."

The gods exist by enshrining them, and the more people worship them, the higher their status will be.Once the incense is lost, the meaning of existence will be lost, and it will be forgotten by human beings over time, and it will also disappear in this world.

"I see." Yiqi Yizhen handed another bottle of wine to the little old man, "We can pick it up at the reception tomorrow."

"Ah, thank you. Besides Natsume-sama, you are the first human to give me wine in these years." The little old man was not polite, and hugged the wine bottle with a smile, "It's a pity I can't get out of this shrine, listen Said that the wine party will be very lively."

"I'm not even a human being." Yiqi Yizhen smiled, nodded and said, "Of course the reception is lively."

"My shrine used to be very lively." The little old man drank another cup, looked up at the moonlight, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I almost forgot what the excitement looks like."

Yiqi Yizhen didn't know how to answer, he turned his head and saw Shuten-douji standing at the door at some point, leaning on the door frame and looking at the distant scenery.

The next day, Ibaraki Doji's head sank to suspect the monster.

This feeling has not been experienced for many years. Ever since Shuten-douji became the leader of the monsters, the monsters in Dajiangshan treated him as their boss, and they didn't take the initiative to come to have fun with wine.

Ibaraki Doji still vaguely remembered last night's wine fight with Fat Cat, but he fell asleep afterwards, and he didn't know if he won the fight.He opened his eyes with difficulty, and the first time he saw Shuten-douji sitting on the bedside, he was in a good mood instantly, and asked, "Did I win the wine fight yesterday?"

Shuten-douji replied, "I won."

Ibaraki-douji smiled shyly, and became sober in an instant. He lay on his side on the ground, put his hand on his chin and said with a smile, "Sometime Dajiangshan will organize a reception."

Shuten-douji pinched his cheek: "Okay."

Just when the two got up early to flirt, Tsurumaru Kuninaga on the bed next door suddenly lifted the quilt and stood up in one go. Before he could stand still, he let out a painful wail, then squatted down with his head in his arms, and murmured: "No, you have to work with a hangover!"

"Who told you to get up so fast." Yiqi Yizhen who was sitting on the side was stunned, and quickly got up and pulled Tsurumaru Kuninaga to sit down, "Take a break."

Tsurumaru Kuninaga looked over aggrievedly: "Phase [-]..."

"Okay, okay, I'm here." Yiqi Yizhen patted him on the shoulder and coaxed him twice perfunctorily.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga continued: "Where are the two bottles of wine I brought back yesterday?"

One issue, one shock: "..."

People are drunk, but their memory is not drunk.

Just at this time, Ibaraki-douji thought the two people next to him were too noisy, and reached a consensus with Shuten-douji, and planned to go to the roof for a while, sober and sober.

Yizhen also stood up in the first phase: "The person in charge sent me a few more suspicious points. I'm afraid I won't be able to run all day today. Let's start early."

Tsurumaru Kuninaga: "..."

Looks like the rice wine is gone again.

I don't know who found out the suspicious points given by Natsume Takashi, it's a pit as always.

I even gave up on the first phase of the shock, and stood in front of a convenience store on the way back, thinking about buying some daily necessities to go back. Fortunately, the shrine is more comfortable.

"Are you rich?" Ibaraki Doji asked.

"Foxosuke has money, but not much, enough to buy something to eat." Kuninaga Tsurumaru patted Yiqi Yishin on the shoulder, "You look the most human-like among the four of us, go buy it."

In the first issue, Yizheng was expressionless: "Aren't you human?"

"You dress most like the people in Hitoyoshi." Tsurumaru Kuninaga said with a smile, "Let's choose first."

Feeling helpless in the first episode, he lifted his invisibility and walked into the convenience store cautiously.

Ibaraki-douji and Shuten-douji were not seen by anyone, but Tsurumaru Kuninaga hid his figure and scurried around the shelves recklessly, directing Yiqijijin to buy things.

Shuten-douji felt that he would have to live in Hitoyoshi Mayor for the rest of the day, so he also wanted to buy some daily necessities.Ibaraki Doji was not interested in common people's things, so he picked a good-looking fried noodles, and then walked out of the convenience store first, squatting outside the window in a daze.

At this moment, a young man in a black kimono walked past the door of the convenience store. He had long black hair tied up, his bangs on his forehead blocked his right cheek, and he could vaguely see a sticker on his right eye. a spell.Holding a black oil-paper umbrella in his hand, he walked slowly in front of Ibaraki Doji.

After walking for a while, as if he felt something, the young man turned his head to look at Ibaraki Doji, and then backed away.

In order to prevent Ibaraki-douji from causing trouble, Shuten-douji instilled the truth several times that humans in Hitoyoshi City, except the person in charge, cannot see youkai.At this moment, even if he knew that someone was looking in his direction, he could still poke the ant hole like no one else.

The young man squatted down in front of Ibaraki Doji, looking him straight in the eyes.Ibaraki Doji thought there was an advertisement board behind him, so he turned his head and took a look.

"Are you a monster?" the young man asked.

Ibaraki Doji turned his head and subconsciously replied, "Yes."

In the next second, there was a white clay pot in the young man's hand. There was a spell on the pot, which seemed to be the same model as Abe Seimei's.

Ibaraki Doji was wondering why someone could see him, when he saw a wisp of smoke rising from the mouth of the clay pot, and the surrounding air flowed rapidly, Ibaraki Doji suddenly felt his body become lighter, as if he no longer belonged to him .His eyes widened, feeling that there was danger in his intuition, he only had time to touch his pocket in a haste, and his vision was plunged into darkness.

Indistinctly, a voice with a smile came to his ears hollowly: "I haven't seen such a human-like monster for a long time."

A few minutes later, Yiqi Yizhen stood on the counter with a big basket of spoils and paid the bill with a cold expression on his face.

Shuten-douji walked out of the convenience store first, but found that Ibaraki-douji was not at the door.He frowned and looked around, but found no trace of Ibaraki Doji, so he walked back to the convenience store.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga was standing next to Yiqi Yishin, seeing Shuten-douji running back in a hurry, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Did you see Ibaraki?" Shuten-douji asked.

"I saw him squatting in the window when I was just picking things up." Tsurumaru Kuninaga quickly walked out of the convenience store and took a look, "Where did you go to play?"

"Ibaraki?" Shuten Doji frowned, and looked around again, but still did not see anyone.

Ibaraki Doji has been very quiet these days, and the wilderness has been sealed off, so he has no interest in running out to play.

Could it be that there are clues of the big tengu and the demon fox?

Shuten-douji was walking in front of the convenience store when he stepped on a small stone. He looked down and saw that it was the jade that Ibaraki-douji threatened to be worth tens of thousands.

Ibaraki Doji was eager to exchange this piece of jade for money to open a house, how could he just throw it on the ground casually.

Shuten-douji squeezed the jade into the palm of his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Ibaraki is in danger."
