[comprehensive] not human

Onmyoji looked down on Ma Ye Boy in his heart, and he didn't say anything, but he didn't hide his attitude. Seeing this, his attendants also treated Ma Ye affectionately in a learned way. Apart from respecting him as an adult on the surface, there was no expression in their eyes. any respect.

Ma Ye saw the ridicule and jealousy in their hearts one by one. The ridicule was because he looked down on his identity as a wandering orphan, and looked down on his mother who ran away from the family to marry a samurai; Be sure to bring back the separated children of the original family.These people, including the onmyoji, are resenting their good luck, complaining why they are not the same age as themselves, why they are not the children of the separated family, so that they can easily enter the main family and may inherit the Ma Cang family in the future.

It's just a rotten family of onmyojis. If he didn't want to learn onmyoji, how could he go back with them, Ma Ye thought in his heart, following behind the onmyoji.He was very short, and usually he had to run two steps to keep up with the one step taken by others, and the onmyoji and attendants deliberately wanted to see him make a fool of himself, so they strode forward at a faster than normal pace.Ma Ye gritted her teeth, even if she was out of breath from running, even if her legs were weak due to not eating, she would not ask for a word.

Except for a short break at noon, they were rushing non-stop towards the village closest to the forest.In fact, the Onmyoji and his followers were not feeling well along the way, but seeing the pale face of Ma Ye Boy and thinking that they would be able to ride in the bullock cart when they arrived in the village, they felt full of strength.

After driving for a day, they didn't see smoke rising from the village not far away until evening.Several people quickened their pace, and even Ma Ye was refreshed.

The trail leading to the village has to pass through a river, the river is fast-flowing, and a wooden bridge was built on the river at an unknown time. After a while, it fell into the water.

Before passing the bridge, Ma Ye paused when he stepped on the bridge, and an attendant behind him pushed him unceremoniously, causing the child to stagger: "My lord, hurry up and cross the bridge!" ?”

Walking in the front, the onmyoji who had already passed the wooden bridge turned around and asked Ma Ye with a bit of malice: "What? Are you scared?"

Ma Ye said coldly: "No." Then he walked straight onto the bridge.The main body of the wooden plank bridge is built with four thick tree trunks, and the bridge deck is paved with wooden boards. When you step on it, the boards squeeze each other and creak and creak, making it look crumbling.

Gui Chou Wan walked carefully, but the hemp leaf that was leading him strode forward, almost running at such a high speed, that Gui Chou Wan who was dragging him had to run along with him.Immediately, the entire bridge deck was constantly vibrated by their trampling, which made the attendants at the back extremely annoyed, but they didn't dare to really get angry at Ma Ye. ".

The people in the village are all simple farmers. Although this group of people is full of dust and dust, they are basically well-dressed except for one of the children, especially the leader of the onmyoji, who is wearing a white hunting suit, except for some mud on the hem. In addition, it is as clean as new, and the white and soft cloth is something that these villagers living in the countryside have never seen in their entire lives.Immediately, Ma Ye and his party received the highest courtesy from the entire village.Especially after they knew that there was an onmyoji from Heian capital in the team, their respect reached its peak.

An old village chief in his 60s knelt in front of Onmyoji Asakura Hiroaki to salute, his entire upper body lying on the ground, and he dared not lift his head upside down: "Please Lord Onmyoji, save our village!"

Hiroaki Asakura is kneeling and sitting in the best house in the village feeling uncomfortable. He said it is the best, but there are no holes in the walls like other houses. To Hiroaki Asakura, it is probably a garbage dump with a door. The difference from a dump without a door.These fools don't even lay the floor!The ground of the whole house is yellow earth, even if he is sitting on the best clothes that the owner specially found out, he still feels dirty.The clothes he was kneeling on were covered with patches, and Asakura Hiroaki wondered if if he really sat down, two petals of gray marks would be left on his buttocks.He had to straighten his back, tense his thighs, and try not to sit all the way down.

The old village head didn't know that the nobleman in front of him was madly spurning the room and the clothes under his buttocks in his heart. After hearing no response, he burst into tears, straightened up and bowed solemnly again: "I beg the onmyoji!" My lord has pity on us, please save us!"

Asakura Haoming moved his body for a long time before he finally found a slightly less labor-saving posture. He coughed and replied seriously: "Get up, tell me, what ghost is causing trouble?"

"It's the wooden bridge outside the village." The old village head got up from the ground, knelt in front of Ma Cang Haoming and answered with his head down, "Three months ago, after a heavy rain, the wooden bridge could not be crossed." people!"

"En?" Asakura Hiroaki regained his energy and hummed.

The old village chief misunderstood what he meant, and quickly explained: "It's not that you are not human, sir, but that no one can leave the village through that wooden bridge!"

Asakura Hiroaki's intuition told him that this is a good monster. He was just worried that he didn't have a powerful shikigami, and now a ready-made shikigami material was sent to the door: "Tell me carefully."

"Yes."

It turned out that on the night when the rainstorm ended, a farmer who went out accidentally fell off the bridge and drowned in the rushing river when he was passing the bridge back to the village. It was slippery, and it was a dimly lit night. Farmers didn't see the road clearly and accidentally slipped and fell into the river.But then, on the third day and the fourth day, for three consecutive days, one person fell into the river every day, and everyone became afraid.

As a result, they just became nervous, discussing whether to rebuild the wooden bridge, and no one died.The people in the village breathed a sigh of relief, comforting themselves that the death of three people must be a coincidence.

In this way, a month passed without incident, and on the same day in the second month, that is, the same date that the first person died, another person died.The child who died this time was a seven-year-old child. It stands to reason that such a child should have been told by his parents not to get close to the rushing river and the dangerous wooden bridge. Some people in the same village said that before the child died, they saw him in the village. Those who were playing in the river were hundreds of steps away from the bridge. It is impossible for anyone to fall into the river without paying attention and die without even calling for help.

The people in the village began to suspect that there was a monster in the bridge.They found a few young strong men to prepare to demolish the wooden bridge on a sunny day. Unexpectedly, before they started, the strong men became dazed and shouted that a beautiful woman stepped on the wooden bridge. No one else can stop it.The strong men staggered to the middle of the wooden bridge, jumped into the river one by one in a line, and disappeared in the river which was more turbulent than usual in an instant.The others were so frightened that they didn't dare to step on the bridge, they could only shout at the top of their voices, and then watched the people in the same village die.

Hearing this, Asakura Hiroaki's eyes glowed, he leaned forward excitedly, and eagerly confirmed to the old village chief: "Are you really planning to demolish the bridge when there is sun?"

"Yes." The village chief lowered his head, not seeing the excitement on his face.

"So far, eight people have died?"

"Yes." The village head's voice was even deeper and sad.

Asakang Haoming just remembered something, restrained his happy expression, and said solemnly: "Subduing demons and eliminating demons is the job of an onmyoji. Don't worry, the village chief, this kind of monster that is harmful to people will bet on Ma. The honor of the Cang family, I will never let it go!"

The village chief prostrated to Asakang Hiroaki for the third time: "Please, my lord!"

As soon as the village head opened the door and went out, Asakura Hiroaki jumped up from the ground.He walked around, rubbing his hands and muttering to himself: "God's will, God's will." Such a powerful monster happened to meet him who was in desperate need of a powerful shikigami.Before leaving, in order to ensure the smooth return of the ghost son, the patriarch also specially handed him three powerful talismans. The sigils are the patriarch of the current Ma Cang family. The well-known onmyoji Ma Cang Yechuan personally Drawing by hand, with these three sigils, Asakura Hiroaki believed that he could still win a mere Qiao Ji.

In the next room, Ma Ye Boy was lying on the bed and whispering to the black snake lying next to his pillow: "When I passed that wooden bridge today, I felt a monster attached to it."

Yan Bai stuck out his tongue, and caught a glimpse of the little ghost named Gui Chou Wan by Ma Ye, squatting at the door and guarding the door. In fact, he thought Gui Chou Wan was quite cute.

"Bai." Seeing that he didn't answer, Ma Ye yelled again.

"what?"

"Asakura Hiroaki is going to take back that monster tomorrow, but he is no match for that monster. Why don't you eat her before the monster shows up. Don't you need monster power, you can just replenish it."

Yan Bai was first thinking about how Ma Ye knew that Asakang Haoming was going to get rid of the monster tomorrow, and then he was attracted by his calling his breath: "Why do you call me Bai?"

Ma Ye smiled, her eyes bent into crescents under the quilt: "Chiyo told me that a name is a kind of curse. I'm casting a curse on you, and the name of Bai belongs to me exclusively. It's like being named Bai You belong to me."

"But I'm still me."

"Yeah, you are still you. It's just that you who are called Bai belong to me."

"..." Yan Bai decided not to tell Ma Ye that he didn't understand this sentence, but a child, he has decided to spend this life with him, and it doesn't matter whether he belongs or not, "Hiss, are you happy? Just fine."

At noon the next day, they followed Hiroaki Asakura to the wooden bridge, and all the villagers followed behind them. They wanted to see but were afraid of the monster, and they stretched their heads to watch from afar.

Asakura Hiroaki looked at those ordinary people without spiritual power with disdain, and his sense of superiority as an onmyoji was fully reflected at this time.Because he has spiritual power, he can face monsters without fear, unlike this group of fools, who are ignorant and weak, no wonder he has become the nourishment of monsters and needs onmyoji to save him.

He took out the charms given by the Patriarch from his arms, and Asakura Hiroaki clamped one of them between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, raised his finger and put it in front of his mouth to say something.Following his thoughts, the other two talismans floated in the air without any external force, and suddenly, the surrounding villagers exclaimed.

A proud smile appeared on the corner of Asakura Hiroaki's mouth, and he scolded lightly: "Onmyoshu Shikigami! Come on, the exclusive shikigami of the Asakura family, Ye Gui!"

The wind that came from nowhere brought dust and countless leaves to fall in front of Hiroaki Asakura, spinning to form a small tornado.After the wind subsided, everyone saw a shikigami as tall as two people appearing in front of everyone.His head was very big, and his whole body was covered with a layer of white armor. His face was covered by a piece of paper, on which was painted the family crest of the Asakang family, in the shape of a maple leaf.Shikigami holds a huge spear in his hand, and with a single swing, he can easily destroy the best house in the village at present.

The villagers applauded and cheered again.

Asakang Haoming held the paper talisman, continued to recite the incantation and pointed at the wooden bridge, and the remaining talisman flew to the wooden bridge, and it was about to stick to the bridge surface.
