[comprehensive] not human

The base camp of the Chang Clan, a famous exorcist, is located in the deep mountains, with few people on the road, and there are shikigami patrol spells along the way to protect them. If there is no special guide, it is easy to get lost in the woods and step on a trap.The guide who guided the three of Yanbai this time was Nanase, a shrewd and capable woman with curly hair. She wore gold-rimmed glasses and a professional dress, and looked at Yanbai coldly: "Who is this?"

Madara was hugged by Natsume and turned over: "The helper I found."

The woman narrowed her eyes and didn't say anything, but she clearly showed an expression of displeasure on her face, she turned around and led the way without saying a word.

Yan Bai glanced at the gigantic shikigami following her, remembering that Madara had told him before, about the incident where he kidnapped a monster and forcibly used it as his shikigami.

Counting from the mountain gate into the mountain, we walked for about half an hour before arriving at Chang old house.This mountainous mansion covers an extremely large area. The front entrance alone is four or five meters wide. Viewed from the front, the entire mansion is half the size of a football field. , Phoenix-tailed, full of antiquity.Lanterns hung on both sides of the main entrance, with the family crest of the field printed on it, the vermilion gate was closed tightly, and the house exuded an atmosphere that made youkai feel uncomfortable.

The patriarch of Changyimen was sitting in the living room waiting for them.

As soon as Yan Bai entered, his pupils shrank slightly, and the patriarch also showed a surprised expression: "It's you..."

He has long black hair, his right eye is covered by bangs, and a charm is faintly visible under the hair. It is the young man Yanbai met outside Nanatsuji House.He was still wearing the black kimono, kneeling on the cushion with his back straight.After a brief surprise, he smiled: "Before this, I was still wondering who the helper Natsume-kun brought."

Before the boy named had time to speak, Madara snorted coldly and asked first, "What's the relationship between you and that one-eyed rat demon?"

The young man's pitch-black eyes moved slowly, and his eyes fell on it: "I shot one of its eyes blind, but unfortunately it ran so fast that I didn't catch it."

"Natsume-kun," Dechang Jingji looked at Natsume Takashi again, "Thank you for your help."

Yan Bai always felt a weird sense of familiarity in him, and now he finally understood that it was the arrogance in him, just like the onmyoji when he drove monsters to fight for him, seemingly gentle and polite, but actually concealed his disdain.However, this arrogance is only aimed at Madara and Natsume, not him.

This is a bit strange.It's not like the field Jingji will be tolerant of a monster, unless there are some special circumstances.

It's a pity that he didn't continue to chat, and only briefly introduced the monsters and demon masters who attacked this time, emphasizing a few of the more difficult characters among them, and asked Nanase to send them back to their room to rest.

Madara and Natsume are in one room, and Yanbai is in the other room next door. The room is tidy and spotless, and a scroll is hung on the wall facing the sliding door. On a navy blue background, a pale woman with eyes all over her body has a strange expression. On her arms, neck, and face, there are eyes, which are either open or closed, and even on the scalp. The artist The technique is very high, and the monsters are depicted vividly, as if they will jump out of the painting and attack in the next second.

Yan Bai stood in front of the painting for a while, and found that the eyes of the Hundred Eyed Ghosts in the painting were all open, and they were all staring at him.Is this painting alive?He reached out to touch.

The moment his fingertips were about to touch the screen, there was a knock on the door, and his arm hung in mid-air for a moment, Yan Bai put down his hand: "Please come in."

Unexpectedly and within expectation, it was Zhang Jingsi who came.

Seeing Yan Bai stopped in front of the scroll, he showed that slightly dangerous smile again, closed the door behind him, walked slowly to Yan Bai, and admired the painting with him: "This painting is from the early The patriarch painted it before, it is said that after he killed a hundred-eyed demon, he sealed its soul into this painting."

Paintings are indeed alive.When Chang Jingsi walked in front of the painting, Baimuyao's eyes all turned to him, and as time went by, a look of hatred gradually appeared on his face.

This only makes the contemporary patriarch's smile even more ironic.

"What's the matter with you?" Yan Bai was not interested in this kind of person, so his tone was naturally cold.

Zhang Jingsi didn't answer right away, he and the hundred-eyed monster in the painting looked at each other for a while, and then turned to look at Yan Bai: "A month ago, I heard that a new monster appeared next to the account holder. , is a snake demon with black scales and red eyes, it should be you."

Yan Bai stared at him silently, waiting for the next sentence.

"I remembered that a senior sent a commission to Chang Yimen a few years ago to find a black snake demon. This snake demon should appear next to a monster called Banban at first." Chang Jingsi smiled. I smiled, "I have searched for several years, but I didn't find such a monster. Instead, I discovered the existence of the friend account. I thought this commission would fail forever, and the favor owed to that senior could not be repaid." , you find us yourself."

"...Who is that senior?" Yan Bai's heartbeat quickened slightly, and he had a guess in his mind.But if it was really that person, why not come and find him yourself?

Zhang Jingsi did not answer directly, but asked another question: "Do you know the Ma Cang clan?"

Without waiting for an answer, he continued on his own: "Inherited from the Heian-kyo era, there have been dozens or even hundreds of onmyojis in the ancestors. Of course, they are psychics according to them. The Ma Cang clan It is still being passed on now, but the main work has changed from eliminating demons to praying and divination, and they will only take action when ordinary demon-eliminating masters ask for help, and they are a powerful family that is comparable to each other."

"The person entrusted is from the Ma Cang family. His name is Ma Canghao."

How is Asakura?Yan Bai repeated the name in a low voice, Ma Cang Hao, Ma Cang Ye Wang, is there any connection between the two... (The Japanese pronunciation is very similar to Ye Wang)

"Originally, our family didn't accept this kind of task of finding monsters. It's just that my good senior helped Dechang, so we took it." Dechang Jingsi stared at Yanbai, with a flash of light in his eyes, "But fortunately, I finally found it. And when I failed to find it a few years ago, I looked through the information and found an interesting thing. Thousands of years ago, Ma Cangye, the ancestor of the Ma Cang clan and the greatest onmyoji in history, Wang also had a snake-like god, and it is said that he could transform into a three-meter-high black python, which was comparable to a wounded nine-tailed fox."

"So what, is there any problem for the descendants to regain the glory of their ancestors?" He had been silent until now, but when he heard this sentence, Yan Bai suddenly spoke.

The reason why he said this suddenly is because if that good guy is really King Ye, then the fewer people who know that he can be reincarnated, the better.People's hearts are greedy, and Zhang Jingsi can't see it yet, but if he really knows that Ye Wang can control his reincarnation, he will inevitably have other ideas.

The black-haired young man smiled, showing a clear look: "Actually, I just wanted to tell you that your news has been delivered to Ma Cang, and we have no malice in revealing your whereabouts."

"...Thank you." After thinking for a while, Yan Bai still opened his mouth to thank.

"You're welcome, after all, this is our job." Zhang Jingsi looked at the hanging statue of the Hundred Eyes Monster who was still staring at him until now, "It's better not to touch this kind of thing casually." After finishing speaking, He turned and left.

Yan Bai stood for a long time, until the eyes of Baimu Yao were all closed, then he walked to the window and looked at the quiet courtyard under the night.

Hello Asakura.Asakura, good.

The syllables popped out of the tongue one by one, turning into silent notes and rippling in the air.

In the sky, the moon sheds a faint light, hanging high above the head.Yan Bai stood silently like this all night, watching the moon gradually sinking to the west, and finally disappeared, and the dawn appeared from the east a moment later.

A new day has arrived.In the fresh air in the morning, unknowingly, there has been a stink.

Then after a while, the alarm rang throughout the mansion, heralding that the monster's attack was coming so soon.

When Yan Bai rushed to the door, the battle had already begun.The members of the Dechang clan came out in full force, each leading one or even a few shikigami to fight. Among these people, Dechang Jingsi's black clothes were extremely conspicuous.He holds a bow and arrow, and can kill a monster leader with one arrow.Yan Bai didn't expect that one-eyed mouse demon to have such influence, there are hundreds of monsters at a glance.Although most of them are low-level monsters, they all have a ferocious personality, and for a while they fought evenly with the Chang clan.

Madara had already turned into his original form, protecting Natsume and flying the flesh and blood bitten by the monsters around him, leaving his area completely vacant for a while.

Yan Bai turned into the body of a snake, and with a flick of his tail, a monster rushing towards him flew out. He wanted to rush in directly, but he felt something and stopped .

Ban Ben pressed a little monster under his claws with one palm, and was about to lower his head to bite, but at the same time froze his body.

Yan Bai raised his head, and a red mark in his field of vision fell from a high altitude, and quickly enlarged.From a little fiery red, to a blaze of flames, and then to a flaming giant covering the sky and the sun, after a few short seconds, there was only a bang, accompanied by the screams of the monsters, and the fiery red color filled everyone present. The sight of people and monsters.

Yan Bai took a deep breath, and looked at the person on the flame giant's back. He was not tall, he looked like a young man, and compared with the flame giant several stories tall, he seemed even smaller.He was only wearing a cloak on his upper body, and the cloak was flying in the air due to the whirlwind brought by the landing, together with his long wine red hair.

With a smile on his face, the young man passed the monsters below, passed the group of monster extermination masters and their shikigami, and stared straight at Yan Bai. His smile deepened for a while, and a look of joy appeared in his cool eyes.In the silence, he raised his hand and waved: "Hi, long time no see, Bai."
