[Comprehensive] The ghost lamp of the blue lamp

After the plane took off, Qing Deng finally saw the itinerary written by Ghost Lantern.

Then a black line came down like this.

"Tomorrow's cat cafe, the day after tomorrow dog cafe, the day after tomorrow rabbit cafe, after that there will be bird and goldfish cafes, and we will go to the zoo in between... Why don't you just live in the zoo and forget it!"

Qing Deng doesn't hate animals, but the itinerary of Ghost Lantern is too crazy.

However, Ghost Lantern didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him at all, so he thought about it very seriously, and then asked, "You said I went to work in the zoo, would they allow me to touch those animals?"

Qing Deng approached the ghost lamp and warned in a low voice: "I don't know if they will agree, but I know that if you go to work for this reason when we are out to play, then we are finished!"

"Okay." Ghost Lamp had no choice but to temporarily give up this plan.

However, I still want to go to the animal cafe, but it was reduced from one a day to a maximum of two animal cafes by the green light.

Thinking about the previous trip to the Fox Cafe, if they really followed the arrangement of the ghost lights, they would basically spend their daily time in various animal cafes.

Ghost Lantern finally chose Cat Cafe and Dog Cafe.

After flying for an hour and a half, the plane finally arrived at Narita Airport in Tokyo.

After Qingdeng and Guideng got off the plane, they directly hired a taxi and gave them the address, and the driver took them to the destination Ukiyo-e Town.

Ukiyo-echo is located in a suburb of Tokyo. It is incredible that the houses in this area are all ancient buildings. The orderly roads are surrounded by tall walls. Through the walls, you can see a corner of the wooden buildings inside.

Among them, the family adjacent to Aoki's family occupies a particularly large area, and the car reached its destination after relying on the road outside the wall of their house for a long time.

In comparison, Qingdeng's grandfather's house is a bit small, just like an ordinary house, but the garden is also about the same size as the house, which is very rare...

However, the house of the Aoki family has been passed down for thousands of years, and I am afraid that every brick and tile inside can be called an antique.

It is hard to imagine that such a wooden structure house can be preserved intact after such a long time.

"Probably because of the blessing of the gods." Ghost Deng said so when he heard Qing Deng sigh.

A thousand years is really not very long for the ghosts and gods of the other world.

And the first wife of the Aoki family is the younger sister of King Yan Mo. With the character of the king, he will naturally ask the gods of all walks of life to take care of her.

So the Aoki family can pass on for thousands of years without losing, it is not worth making a fuss about.

After they got off the taxi, they called the caretaker who was in charge of looking after the house.

Because they didn't want to bother the other party too much, they didn't specify the time when they would arrive, but even so, after Qing Deng called to inform him that he had arrived, the other party appeared in front of Aoki.

He came out of Aoki's house.

The person who manages this house is a middle-aged uncle who is slightly fat. It is said that he is the child of a friend of Grandpa Qingdeng. The family has been running a gardening business, and he is very kind.

"I have really troubled you, Uncle Fukuyama, for so many years."

Fushan is the surname of the manager. When the other party saw the green lamp, he thanked him and quickly waved his hands: "Actually, I didn't do anything. Your house has been declared as a cultural relic building before, and the state is responsible for the annual repair work. We Just helping out with the yard and cleaning the house."

The Aoki family is actually quite wealthy. After Qingdeng’s grandparents passed away one after another, they left a considerable amount of inheritance to Qing’s mother, but Qing’s mother only used this money to pay for the various expenses of the Qingmu family’s old house, and they The family is not short of those money.

Uncle Fushan led them in and said embarrassedly: "Because the time is a bit rushed, so I just cleaned it roughly, and I only tidied up the room where your mother used to live." He said secretly Glancing at the ghost lamp, he seemed to be very curious about him, but he didn't dare to ask because the latter was too imposing.

Qing Deng introduced to him: "This is Ghost Lantern. It was because we came over suddenly that you didn't have time to tidy up. I should be the one to say sorry."

When the three of them entered the house, a middle-aged woman greeted them. She was Fukuyama's wife and was helping to clean it.

Although the appearance is very old, the interior decoration of Aoki's house is relatively modern, but no one has lived in it for 20 years, so it is somewhat unpopular.The various furniture had been covered with white cloth before, and there was not much flying dust. In addition, it had been cleaned and tidied up in advance, so there was absolutely no problem with bringing bags to check in.

Even Mrs. Fukuyama has cooked meals and is waiting for them to arrive at any time.

Qing Deng once again thanked him for not mentioning it.

"You guys eat first, we'll go up and tidy up a room and come out." Fukuyama and his wife said so.

It's not easy for Qing Deng to say that he and Ghost Deng live in the same room, and it is worth thanking them for their kindness.

After tidying up the room, Fukuyama and his wife handed over the key to Qingdeng, ready to leave.

"Although I really want you all to eat with us in the future, but we live a little far away from here. If you are not good at cooking, you can order takeaway. The dishes in these restaurants are very rich and delicious. It's cheap." Uncle Fukuyama was still very embarrassed when he handed over the business card with the phone number and the name of the restaurant on it.

Qing Deng quickly waved his hand: "Uncle, you are too polite, we are here for sightseeing in Tokyo, and we usually walk around during the day, so we probably only stay here at night."

After talking a lot, the other party was relieved, got up and left.

Qingdeng also heaved a sigh of relief after seeing off the Fukuyama couple: "It can be regarded as leaving, such enthusiastic people are really hard to deal with."

After that, he said to Ghost Lantern again: "Let's go upstairs and have a look." He was also very curious about the house where his mother lived in before.

The ghost lamp was pulled upstairs, his eyes swept over every corner of the room, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Here, it seems too clean.

The older the building, the more popular it is with monsters, especially this kind of old house that has been uninhabited for a long time, especially those timid and fearful monsters. When he saw the old house of Aoki's house, he already had a When I opened the door, I saw a room full of monsters.

As a result, there was nothing here, and it was even cleaner than a Buddhist hall.

This is so weird.

Qingdeng didn't know what Guideng was thinking, so he just dragged him upstairs, mother Qing's room was easy to recognize, the door was open, Qingdeng saw it as soon as he walked over.

There are not too many things in the room, except for the basic furniture, those personal belongings belonging to Mother Qing should have been moved to Huaxia long ago, and the only things left here are those that are not easy to take away and there is no need to take them away furniture.

There is a big window in Mother Qing's room, which is only a little higher than the floor. The window sill is wide and covered with tatami mats. It can be imagined that this should be the place where Mother Qing liked to stay the most, like they did in Huaxia's house. With such a window sill, Qing Deng can always see his mother sitting on it with a pillow to write and draw. When he was a child, he would often take a nap in the sun there when he was a child.

Walking to the window sill, the location on the second floor just allows him to see the situation of the neighbor's house.

After seeing the real appearance of the neighbor's house, Qing Deng's eyes suddenly widened.

From here, you can understand how big the neighbor’s house is. The huge courtyard is probably much bigger than a football field. The antique Japanese-style old house in the middle looks like a tower, and it is particularly spectacular to be in it. Because of the facial features, Aoki's house is behind the neighbor's house, so he only saw the back part of the house.

But these are not the reasons that surprised Qingdeng.

What surprised him was the huge cherry blossom tree next to the house.

Qing Deng blinked his eyes, and after making sure he wasn't blindsided, he turned his head and asked Ghost Deng in doubt: "Will there be cherry blossoms this season?"

The ghost lamp standing behind him took advantage of his height and easily saw the opposite scene through the sky above the green lamp.

He answered Qingdeng's question expressionlessly: "Cherry blossoms usually bloom in March and April, and there are out-of-season ones, but those are usually cultivated indoors, and the cherry blossom trees as big as the opposite , it shouldn’t be possible.”

But in their eyes, the huge cherry blossom tree leaning on the side of the ancient house on the opposite side is full of beautiful flowers. Under the sunlight, the whole tree has a kind of almost coquettish beauty.

No matter how you look at it, it's not normal.

The ghost lamp concluded: "It should be a flower demon, or else it would have given birth to a flower spirit, but from this feeling, the possibility of a monster is greater."

Flower demons and flower spirits, although they feel similar to each other, are actually different in essence. Flower spirits are a kind of elves, and they are relatively weak. At the same time, they will also be protected by the gods, and the flower demons are stronger, but the flower demons that are not sheltered can easily be swallowed by more powerful monsters.

At the same time, it is also said that the flower essence is a creature conceived by nature itself, while the flower demon is formed by absorbing the power of the demon, so the difference between the two is quite large.

"If you feel it carefully, there seems to be a lot of powerful aura in that house." Qing Deng narrowed his eyes and said, in fact, this is what the system told him after scanning.

However, because the neighbor's house on the opposite side has an enchantment, the system only knows that there are many powerful monsters inside, but it doesn't know what it looks like.

####The following is the replaced part####

To be able to raise a demon tree in the yard that obviously has not restrained its demonic aura, this neighbor is probably not an ordinary person.

But Qingdeng and Guideng just looked at the window for a while, and didn't pay any more attention. As long as they didn't provoke them, it had nothing to do with what happened to the other party's house.

Moreover, the Aoki family seems to be protected from the invasion of monsters because of the reason next door. In this regard, Qingdeng has to thank the other party.

"There's nothing here, let's go out and buy something and come back. I remember seeing a supermarket nearby."

Although the Fukuyama couple helped clean up the house very carefully, and even the bedding needs to be cleaned and dried every once in a while, but after all, it has been left for a long time, and there is always a musty smell on it. Qingdeng is more inclined to buy a new set return.

And they have to buy some ingredients to come back. If they are hungry at night, it is not convenient to order takeaway and start the fire by themselves.

Ghost Lantern checked the situation in the room, thinking about what to buy, tidying up the hats that hadn't been taken off, and nodded: "I need to add a lot of things, let's go."

The supermarket they saw on the way here was actually not too far away. It was at the corner where the end of this street meets another street. That was the bustling area of ​​Ukiyo-e Town. The supermarket was not very big, but the variety of goods was still there. It's a lot, and besides the supermarket, there are many other shops.

Even though it is not very far from the bustling street, the road in front of Aoki's house is very quiet, and there are almost no pedestrians. The reason is probably because there are not many people living here, and there are only seven or eight households on both sides. , especially on the side of the Aoki family, outside of their house, there is only the ridiculously big house next door.

After walking along the corner for more than ten minutes, the green light in the middle also saw the door of the neighbor's house. The wooden structure could not see the environment inside, and there was no name plate on the door.

"The demonic aura on the side of the gate seems to be a bit heavier." Qing Deng sniffled and said to Gui Deng.

"It shouldn't be some malicious monster."

The ghost lamp's nose is easier to use than the green lamp, so naturally he will not miss this information, and at the same time, he can also judge whether there is any resentment in the ghostly energy that he likes.

After all, he is the number one grudge ghost in hell, and the stronger the resentment, the more he likes it.

I walked past the neighbor's house, rounded the corner, walked for a while, and finally saw the supermarket.

One person and one ghost took the cart and picked out the things they needed among the containers. They chatted from time to time, with an intimate and natural attitude, and their outstanding appearance attracted the attention of many people. Taking pictures while discussing in a low voice whether the two are a couple or not.

"Absolutely. Look at them, they are just like newlyweds. They are absolutely right."

"I think so too. I didn't expect to see such a beautiful couple in this world. Oh, I'm so excited. Hurry up and take a picture and share it with the little sisters!"

"Xia Shi, Saori, please keep your voices down, what if they heard you?!"

"Don't worry, we're so far away, they won't be able to hear it—wow, this photo is so beautiful, Kana, do you want it? I'll send it to you."

"……All right."

The conversations of several girls made the boys who were traveling with them very awkward.

It was evening at this time, and the school was over. The group of them made an appointment to go out for training on the weekend, so they took advantage of the time after school to go out together to buy things for the training. Unexpectedly, the two girls, Xia Shi and Sazhi, met The handsome guy couldn't walk anymore, and even Kana went crazy with them.

"These girls are really handsome guys, aren't we? I don't usually see them like this." Jiro Shima, who held his head in his hands, said with dissatisfaction.

"Girls are like this, you should never try to figure out what they are thinking." Kiyoshi Kiyosuke stroked his hair, saw that Nuliang Rikusheng's expression was not right beside him, he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? "

"It's okay." Nuliang Lusheng recovered and shook his head, "Let's hurry up and buy a tent. I have something to do tonight and I can't stay outside for too long."

Kiyoshi Kiyotsugu knew the identity of Nura Rikusheng's monster, so he said that there was something to do at night, and Kiyosuke didn't ask any more questions, and only urged everyone to act faster as the head of the "Qingshiji Strange Detective Team".

Although the girls who were still excited at first wanted to stay longer, but because Qing Ji was responsible for paying the money this time, they still reluctantly followed.

Nuliang Rikusheng was at the end, and before leaving the supermarket, he couldn't help but look back at the two people who seemed strange to him.

The other party seemed to have noticed his gaze, and looked over at the same time. After meeting Nura Rikusheng's gaze, the slightly short and very handsome boy curled his lips and showed a smile, while the older and taller The man's face was expressionless, and his unwavering eyes made him feel chills in his heart.

Peeking but was caught straight, Nuliang Lusheng's face became hot, and he quickly followed other students.

"You know him?" Gui Deng also saw the interaction between Qing Deng and the young boy, so he asked casually.

"I don't know you." Qing Deng shook his head: "But since the other party is already looking at us, it's appropriate to say hello."

"So you didn't feel it?"

"what?"

Ghost Lantern took two packs of snacks from the shelf, compared them, and said, "The boy who saw you just now should have the same blood as you."

"Really?" Qing Deng turned his head to look again, but he could no longer see the figure of the other party. "It's strange, isn't it said that there are very few half-demons? It's nothing. I can meet it every time I come to this world. Natsume is, Lin Lindie That’s right, there’s actually one more now.”

"I'm also very strange." Gui Deng said, "Obviously the other jailers come to this world smoothly, but you only come once and have an accident."

"Oh, don't talk about such disappointing things, it's obviously not my fault." Qing Deng retracted his gaze, and leaned over to look at the different flavors of snacks in Ghost Lantern's hand: "This tomato flavor is more delicious."

"That's it, let's pick some more wine and appetizers, let's have a drink in the evening."

"Going to drink again? Didn't you drink enough before?" Qing Deng felt that he probably couldn't understand the ghost's love for wine.

"Because someone got drunk after only a few drinks, so I have to go back and take care of him, a drunk."

"Besides, it's rare to have such a beautiful cherry blossom tree, so it's a must to enjoy the flowers."

Speaking of the cherry blossom tree, Qingdeng also showed an expression of appreciation. Regardless of the tree itself, such a beautiful cherry blossom can be said to be rare in the world.

"Okay, okay, you can drink as much as you want, but you don't need to buy wine, I still have a few bottles of old wine here, enough for you to drink."

"Then buy a few cans of beer. You shouldn't get drunk after drinking one can." Gui Deng is now somewhat sure of Qing Deng's alcohol tolerance. You can't drink too much sake and the like, and you can barely drink a can or two of beer .

"Okay, how about a barbecue for snacks? The shop next door sells them."

"Ah."

After buying the barbecue that Qing Deng wanted to eat, the two of them went back with a bunch of things.

They will live in Mama Qing's old room these few days. This room is facing the next door. It is really suitable to watch the cherry blossoms next door from the window sill covered with tatami mats.

"It's just a little far away, and I can't see it clearly enough. It would be better if I could watch it closer."

After changing the new sheets and quilts, Qing Deng also moved to the window sill, sitting face to face with the ghost lamp on the vacant side, and turned to look at the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard next door.

At this time, the sun had completely set, and a round of bright moon hung in the sky, and the moonlight sprinkled on the cherry blossom trees. The cherry blossoms covered with a layer of moonlight seemed to be shining, and their beauty became more and more magical.

As night fell, monsters of different shapes also appeared in the neighbor's house, and the lights and festoons were decorated, which was very lively.

"It looks like a banquet is going to be held." Ghost Lantern propped his head up, watching with interest, "It's a banquet for monsters, Qingdeng should also be eligible to participate, right?"

The lights in the room were not turned on, and the moonlight shone into the room, bringing a coolness to the room.From the outside, only the reflection of the glass can be seen, and the people in the room cannot be seen.Because of this, they don't have to worry about being discovered by the monster next door.

"An uninvited guest will not be welcomed by the host, ah!" Qing Deng whispered suddenly.

The ghost lamp who was drinking looked up: "What's wrong?"

"The boy I saw before, he seems to be from the next door." Qing Deng pointed to the yard next door.

The ghost lamp followed his fingers and saw several figures walking out of the room next to the cherry blossom tree in the neighbor's house. Although one of them was dressed in a kimono, it was indeed the boy they had seen before.

After only one glance, Ghost Lamp looked back in disinterest. "Since I met her nearby, and I'm a half-demon, it's not surprising that I live here."

And Nura Rikusheng next door always had a strong feeling of being stared at, which made him subconsciously look around, trying to find out the source of his gaze.

In the end, of course, there was no result.

"What's wrong?" asked the monsters who followed him.

"It's okay." Nuliang Rikuo, who felt that he might be nervous, shook his head.

At this time, a monster came to report: "Sandaimu, Lord Jiu has arrived."

When Nuliang Rikusheng heard about it, he immediately put his dry feeling behind him, and turned to pick him up.

And the moment he turned around, the boy's figure suddenly rose, revealing the true posture of the monster master.

"Ah!" Seeing the familiar figure of the monster, Qingdeng finally understood why he felt that Ukiyo-e Town was a bit familiar.

This is the headquarters of the Nuragumi, the territory of the lord of monsters, Slick Oni, and the home of his teacher.

After discovering this, Qing Deng was very excited and told Ghost Lantern: "Let's visit our neighbors tomorrow!"
