[comprehensive] not human

"It's okay." Yan Bai frowned, feeling pain and itching from the wound, the wound that had shrunk to three centimeters in length along with his body was healing rapidly, the blood was coagulating, and the pink muscle blood vessels were growing rapidly. The newly grown muscles were covered with scales as thin as a cicada's wing, like polished black crystals, gradually deepening in color as the wound healed.

Natsume looked at this scene, as if the fast-forward button had been pressed, and once again felt the monster's powerful resilience.

"Don't look at his weak spiritual power now, but he still exists as a big monster. As a soul, the entity has condensed out, and it is not so easy to die." A giant white beast came in through the window, and its body shrinks sharply.When Madara landed on the ground, he turned into a lucky cat again.

Yan Bai flicked his tail up and down, and spat out snake letters at him: "Where's that rat demon?"

Lucky Cat's already slender eyes narrowed even smaller: "Run away."

He walked slowly in the direction of Natsume, "It's just a passing monster who came to snatch it after hearing about the friend's book." As he said that, Madara jumped up and jumped onto the shoulder of the brown-haired boy, leaving behind The reporter staggered fiercely: "Stupid Natsume! I want you to keep the friend account carefully. If it's not Bai this time, it will be snatched away!"

This time, Natsume didn't obediently listen to his reprimand. Instead, he picked up the nape of Fat Cat's neck with one hand, and sniffed it: "Mr. Cat, didn't you go to find out the news? Why are you drinking again?"

Yan Bai shook his head, swam over unhurriedly, climbed onto Natsume's arm, stared at Madara and mocked, "No wonder I smelled alcohol as soon as you came in."

The beckoning cat hiccupped, and the smell of alcohol on his body became stronger: "Stop talking nonsense, it's not just to help you find out how to restore your demon power." He struggled in the air, escaped from Natsume's hands, and landed on the tatami. Sitting down, the short forelimbs were shrunk in front of the body, and the expression of squinting was half a smile: "One week later, the summer festival will be held, and monsters will hold celebrations just like humans. One of the celebrations is to drink wine from a thousand-year-old tree in the mountains. Light wine, and this light wine is the key to your recovery of demon power."

Madara looked at Yan Bai, smacked his lips with fascination: "That's a thousand-year-old light wine, and the taste is different from ordinary ones."

"That's really great." Before Yan Bai could speak, Natsume was the first to cheer up for him, "Mr. Cat, it seems I misunderstood you."

The beckoning cat snorted twice and turned its head with a proud little expression.

Yan Bai also thanked Ban, knowing that he also put his heart into his own problem.He still remembered that a long time ago, of course referring to the long time ago in this world, Madara had given him light wine a few times.At that time, I would sit on the wooden corridor on a moonlit night, looking at the pink Yae Sakura in the yard, and drank the wine jar little by little.Under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees whirled, and the cherry blossoms fell petal by petal, as if they were emitting fluorescence.At that time, there would still be a boy wearing a white hunting suit, sitting next to him, smiling, with eyes as clear as ice stars...

"Bai, Bai, hello, are you listening to me?" Madara yelled next to Yan Bai's ear, bringing him back to his senses. The boy in white beside him had long since disappeared, replaced by a white beckoning cat .

"what?"

"Tch, it's nothing. I just want to tell you that I haven't found any news about Ye Wang. After all, monsters still know very little about this kind of onmyoji. Maybe the monster extermination knows more."

After Madara finished speaking, she waited leisurely for Black Snake to ask how to find the demon, but she didn't arrive after waiting for a long time.

Yan Bai thought of the fleeting familiar aura he felt on the rooftop during the day, fell silent, and didn't say anything else.

A week passed in a flash, and soon, the summer festival began.At the invitation of several classmates and friends, Natsume put on the kimono prepared for him by Aunt Tako very early on. The cyan color was used as the background, painted with blue water patterns and reeds, and a belt with a darker color and the same color at the waist made it look more beautiful. Xia has delicate eyebrows and a gentle temperament.Since the last one-eyed rat demon incident, the account of friends has been kept in a special box. On the outside of the box, a charm gifted by Natsume's exorcist friend is pasted. Once a monster wants to steal the account of friends, Natsume The black rope tied to the wrist will break, at least it can warn friends that the account is stolen as soon as possible.

Natsume said goodbye to Madara and Koshiro, and headed to the other side of the street to join his friends.And according to Madara, the monster summer festival will start later, and they can visit the human summer festival first.

Yan Bai looked at the beckoning cat in his arms, looked at the octopus ball stall next to him, staring at the stars, and calmly exposed him: "Actually, you just want to eat these snacks."

The lucky cat became angry, meowing and waving its claws: "I have worked so hard to find out the news for you. You should eat more, otherwise you will lose weight!"

Yan Bai shook his weight, and walked towards the stall on the left: "You don't seem to be losing weight. Thank you for a piece of meatballs." Perhaps Natsume had already guessed Teacher Mao's temper, and before leaving, he specially left some change for Yan Bai, otherwise the penniless two big monsters may act like eating the overlord's meal.

Yan Bai turned into a human figure, wearing a black bathrobe as the Romans do, walking through the crowd with clogs on his feet, his long black hair tied behind his head with a bunch of red strings, and only a few pieces of hair hanging by his ears.People on both sides passed by him like a wave, and the surrounding lights were brilliant. Almost every stall was hung with red lanterns on both sides, illuminating the night as brightly as day.There was a lot of people's voices, and the lucky cat in his arms was full of food, squinting his eyes happily and meowing, and directed Yan Bai to the next food stall.

There is a shaved ice booth. The white ice cubes are placed in the ice crusher, the handle is turned, and with the sound of creaking, the whole piece of ice is shaved into crumbs, which fall from the bottom of the ice machine into the glass. In the small bowl, the stall owner took out the small bowl, poured the jam specified by the customer, and matched it with fruits of the corresponding color. It looked very simple, but it was still very popular from the people around the stall.

After queuing for a while, Yan Bai finally got his own bowl. The red jam was poured on the crushed ice like a small hill, with a cherry on the top, which jumped out of his arms and squatted in front of him. Open your mouth and wait for him to feed.

As soon as they stuffed a spoonful of crushed ice and cherries into the mouth of Lucky Cat, the two monsters heard a hesitant female voice next to them: "Is it really okay to feed cats like this?"

Yan Bai raised his head, he glanced casually at first, but when he saw the speaker's face, his eyes froze. Asakang Qiuye, the name jumped into his mind.The pretty girl is wearing a goose yellow bathrobe, on which a jade rabbit with a pestle and pounding medicine is bouncing around. She uses a ribbon of the same color as the dress to tie up her hair, her neat bangs look like stars, and her eyes shine brightly.

When the girl met Shang Yanbai's gaze, her face flushed slightly, she lowered her face in embarrassment, stared at the spot on the wooden table, and asked in a low voice: "I'm sorry, because I have never seen a cat eating ice, so I am a little worried about cats. abdomen."

Only then did Yan Bai come back to his senses, and he dug another spoonful of crushed ice and stuffed it into Spot's mouth, which had been waiting for him to open his mouth a long time ago: "It's okay, this cat is different."

Seeing him look away, the girl raised her head boldly and stared at his side face: "Can I touch it?"

Yan Bai looked at Ban who was waiting wholeheartedly for him to feed him, he couldn't see any objection from its fat face, and he was noncommittal.The goose-yellow girl cautiously stretched out her hand and gently touched the back of the Lucky Cat.Maybe it was comfortable being touched, Madara meowed without the dignity of a big monster, straightened her back, and moved her position a bit to make it easier for the girl to touch.

In this way, one of the two fed slowly, and the other stroked gently, without speaking.It wasn't until the bowl of ice bottomed out and Madara jumped into Yan Bai's arms again that the girl blushed and said to the man who stood up, "My name is Xia Chuanqiu."

Yan Bai nodded towards her, and walked away slowly with Madara in his arms.It wasn't until after walking a certain distance that the girl who was still sitting on the seat was submerged in the crowd of people coming and going, that Madara meowed: "Did she see you?"

Yan Bai patted it on the head, turned around and walked towards a path leading to the woods: "Are you really stupid or fake, she is obviously an onmyoji, or according to what you say, an exorcist." The clear spiritual power of the girl is as dazzling as a light bulb in the dark among ordinary people, Yan Bai can't believe that Madara hasn't noticed anything abnormal after staying by her side for so long.

But the cat smiled secretly, raised its face in Yan Bai's arms with a mean face, and leaned back to face the latter: "But she only found out that there was something wrong with me, but she didn't realize that you are not human either. Speaking of it, I always feel that She looks familiar, don't you think?"

Yan Bai scratched his chin, satisfied to see the cat squinting his eyes comfortably and didn't bother to pursue the question of familiarity.

Following their steps, the bustling Summer Festival Long Street gradually receded behind them, the surroundings gradually darkened, the voices of people disappeared, and the chirping of insects and other natural sounds gained the upper hand again.The road under the feet may be seldom walked by people on weekdays. Weeds grow from time to time in the gaps of the gravel road, and the path is intermittent and winding in the woods.But before going far, artificial lights reappeared indistinctly in front of them, and the hilarious voices came again.

Bypassing an old locust tree whose trunk could not be hugged by several people, a bustling long street similar to that just now reappeared, the only difference is that no matter the stall owners on both sides of this long street, There are still tourists in the middle, all of whom are strangely shaped.There is a dwarf with a bull's head, a tall man with one eye all over his face, and a woman in a red dress with fluorescent lights all over her body and a pair of wings behind her. In short, none of them look like normal humans, the worst. Also a little boy with a pair of furry ears on his head.

The little monster that has not yet fully transformed wears a fox mask slanted on its head, hops up to Yan Bai, looks up at Ban: "Master Madara, you are here too!"

Lucky Cat hummed a few times, and introduced to the little fox who was staring at Yan Bai curiously: "This is Snake Demon Bai, my friend."

"Master Bai, welcome to the monster summer festival!" The boy with a tail behind him shouted to Yan Bai, enthusiastically pointing out to him which monster vendor's food is delicious, and which one cuts corners and uses human condiments Forcibly enhance the taste, and which goldfish is so fun that it will bite people with its mouth open. In the end, the fox boy fluttered his big eyes, raised his arm, and pointed to a towering giant tree looming in the distance under the night: "That is the light that is provided this year. Grandpa of the old tree of wine! I heard that there are big monsters from other places coming to participate in the summer festival this year, and it is said that they are big monsters who survived from the Heian-kyo era!"

The last sentence caught Yan Bai's attention, and he looked down at the monster who was a little scared of him for some reason: "Big monster? What's its name?"

"Well, it seems to be called Fan."

Yan Bai was a little disappointed, but he thought about it again, how could he meet the old man so easily, then he raised his feet and embraced Madara, who had been impatient for a long time, and merged into the monster, a wicker chair with a mouth was jumping up and down Passing across in front of him, there was a goldfish in the mouth on the back of the chair. The goldfish fluttered its tail, and the teeth in the mouth looked extremely ferocious, but it was swallowed by the rattan chair monster. Down.

Suddenly there was an explosion in the sky, all the monsters around stopped their activities, looked up, and saw fireworks of various shapes and colors exploding in the dark blue night sky, the fireworks display on the human side officially started, and the monsters also They began to walk towards the towering ancient trees in the distance in batches.
