Women's clothing because of lack of money [Comprehensive]
Chapter 31 Heading to Kyoto 【Repair】
The snow outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, and an attendant rushed over from the snow to take the place of You Nai to measure the size of the winter clothes for the three of them.
Huaying looked outside the house, but didn't see any familiar figure, so she asked worriedly, "Where's Sister You Nai? Why didn't she come back?"
The attendant answered her respectfully, "Master Yuno took Mr. Onmyoji to see Mrs. Xinzi, and I can't get away for the time being. You can rest first, Mrs. Mikoto. Mr. Yuno said that the rest of today's class will be cancelled, and we will continue tomorrow."
"Okay, thanks for your hard work." Bai Shu nodded and poured a cup of hot tea for the attendant who rushed over from the snow.The attendant shied away, and there were differences between the top and bottom of the shrine, which is not allowed according to the rules. "If you don't drink it, just use it as a hand warmer. It's just a cup of tea. You're welcome."
"Thank you, little witch..." The attendant didn't hesitate this time. It's freezing cold, and it's really good to have a warm teacup to warm your palms.
The attendant got up and left after not sitting for a long time. She still had a lot of things to do.The three of them watched the figure of the attendant walk out of the courtyard. Outside the house was a vast expanse of white snow, which lowered the bare branches, and the whiteness was heavy.
"It will be a dark day in a while, and the New Year will be celebrated soon." Kikyo looked at the gray sky, and for some reason, she suddenly missed her family.Half a year later, I don't know if the little girl Feng has grown taller, and whether everyone in the village is okay.
"Yes, you can go out on a dark day. Huaying didn't see enough markets last time. This time, you can have a good time." Bai Shu still remembered the last time he went to the market with You Nai Huaying, suddenly the afternoon rose The rain disrupted the original plan.
Huaying still had a fresh memory of that time, she nodded and said seriously, "This time we all want to go together, Huaying also wants to play with Sister Yuno."
"Jacaranda's wish will definitely come true." Kikyo joined the topic with a smile.
"Why? Is it the gods who will fulfill the wish of the jacaranda?" The expression of the eyes looking at Kikyo was so simple and pure that she couldn't find the words to answer for a while.
Will the gods grant human wishes?
She doesn't know either.
"The gods will bless a good boy like you, Huaying, all kindness will not be let down, and good wishes will come true." Bai Shu answered her with the words of the old woman in the village.
"That's great! Huaying will also be a kind person in the future! Be as gentle as Baishu, Kikyo, and Arino."
"it is good."
In Xinzi's courtyard.
Yuno brewed two cups of high-quality tea, set them up for the two people who were sitting at the tea table talking about serious matters, stood up and saluted, then retreated, and waited at the door.
The originally curled tea leaves were opened in hot water, and when the lid was lifted, there was only a burst of refreshing fragrance.
"Master Onmyoji, please drink tea." Xinzi sat in front of the coffee table, very polite to the distinguished guest from Kyoto.
"Thank you." The onmyoji who came to Chiba Town this time is a branch of the Abe family, and his name is Abe Wensan. He looks like he is only in his early twenties, and he is very talented in onmyoji, otherwise he would not have been sent here Strengthen the enchantment of the shrine.
Abe Wensan raised his hands and gestures to advance and retreat politely, which made Xinzi have a good first impression of him.
Before finishing a cup of tea, Xinzi asked him straight to the point during the interval between tasting tea, "Why did Master Onmyoji come here this time?"
"Kyoto was not stable a while ago, and your shrine's request for help was temporarily put on hold. We are very sorry. Abe Masaki-sama sent me to Chiba Shrine to strengthen the barrier a few days ago, so I rushed here non-stop."
Abe Wensan's words said the best of both worlds. First, he explained why he was late and apologized sincerely, and then he said that he rushed over after receiving the order.Let no one find any faults in it.
"I hope everything is fine in Kyoto. I'll take Master Onmyoji to the enchantment of the shrine later." Xinzi was tired of being polite. Too many things happened in the past few days. She just wanted to solve the hidden dangers quickly, and then continued Go to the shrine to pray.Only by staying in the shrine can her heart feel at peace.
Abe Wensan's insight is very good, he can see the exhaustion hidden in Xinzi's eyes, and he doesn't chat too much.When he came over, the Chiba Shrine was still full of incense, and it didn't look like it was about to lose. Why did Xinzi, the head maiden of the Chiba Shrine, look disgusted?
After drinking tea, Xinzi took Abe Wenzo to the enchantment center of Chiba Shrine.At the end of the corridor, it was snowing outside, and Aruno handed Abe Wensan an oil-paper umbrella, but he declined.
Onmyojis are full of spiritual power, isolating falling snow is just a matter of convenience, and holding an umbrella is unnecessary.
There are two enchantment centers in Chiba Shrine, one is the shrine of Oyatsu-sama, and the other is the shrine of Hiriya-sama.The former is dominant and the latter is secondary.Abe Wensan found that although the enchantment of the shrine is not worn out, it is not necessarily very strong. It is as ordinary as the enchantment of the house of an onmyoji in Kyoto.
After Abe Wensan checked the enchantment of Chiba Shrine, he turned to ask Xinzi. "Is this enchantment man-made?"
"Yes, the last time the shrine was invaded by monsters, I led the psychic priestesses to set up two barriers. I specialize in art, and we also know that the barriers we set up are not very strong, so I want to ask the people in Kyoto Master Onmyoji, please help."
After Xinzi told about the monster's invasion of Chiba Shrine, Abe Wensan's eyes immediately flashed a look of disbelief.
"You said, did a monster break into the shrine?" The god served by the Chiba Shrine is Lord Mitsu, how could there be no divine power in the shrine?But if there is the blessing of divine power, how can the monster break in?The two contradictory guesses gave Abe Wensan a bad feeling.
"Yes, and evil monsters." In ancient times, monsters were also divided into two types, evil monsters and kind monsters. Some gods would allow kind monsters to enter their sanctuary.Monsters who come to fight for the jade of the four souls and attempt to hurt people, the enchantment blessed by divine power will never let them in.
"How could this happen..." Abe Wensan murmured in a low voice. There are also many shrines dedicated to gods without the protection of divine power, but the shadow of Inari God appeared in Chiba Shrine before... The snow outside the house fell again, The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Abe caught a glimpse of the tiredness on Xinzi's face from the corner of his eyes, and he suddenly understood something.
Chiba Shrine no longer has divine protection, but before the monsters invaded the shrine, Chiba Shrine still had divine protection.The disappearing divine power is like the gods abandoning her believers, how could Xinzi feel better.
So far, there is nothing Abe Wensan can do to remedy this than, "I will do my best to strengthen the barrier."
"Thank you, Master Onmyoji." Xinzi thanked him.
"You're welcome." Abe Wensan shook his head, it was his duty to come to Chiba Town.
Abe Wensan started to repair the barrier, and behind him, Xinzi gave him a complicated look.Most of the onmyojis in Kyoto are arrogant, but this young man is very easy-going and polite.
If Master Onmyoji had come earlier, the disaster of the day before the Winter Festival would not have happened, right?This idea only flashed in Xinzi's mind, and was quickly denied.
When they didn't notice, their divine power gradually faded away. Recently, there are frequent evil spirits in the town. There are too many possibilities for accidents, and it's too late to reminisce and regret.
However, what will the child in Chiba Shrine who bears the jade of the four souls do in the future?Without the divine protection of Master Yu Yanjin, they also do not have the strength to protect the jade of the four souls.
It was already two days after Abe Wenzo repaired the enchantment of Chiba Shrine.Xinzi also wanted to ask him to stay a few more days as a guest, but Abe Wensan refused.
"After this year's dark day, Kyoto will start preparing for the selection of the envoy appointment, and I will go back to help as soon as possible."
Abe Wensan's words reminded Xinzi, and made her tired eyes suddenly a little more happy.How could she have forgotten this!
Every ten years, Kyoto will hold a "covenant of divine envoys" to select outstanding priestesses from all over the world as the chief priestess in the grand ceremony of praying to the gods.
"If I remember correctly, this time the envoy's appointment will be two years later?" Xinzi asked.
Abe Wensan nodded, seeing that Xinzi was interested in this topic, he continued, "However, witches are always selected in advance, and someone will come to Chiba Town to inform you when the time comes."
The covenant of the envoy is not a secret. As a grand ceremony held once every ten years, Kyoto prepares very carefully every time.Even onmyojis need to participate in it, to ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons, and to pray and sacrifice for the people of the world.
"I have one thing to ask Master Onmyoji..." Xinzi's voice was gentle but extremely serious.
"If it's something I can do, I'll do my best."
The cold winter wind blew the bells under the eaves outside the house, and You Nao stood guard at the door, and she heard the firm words of Master Xinzi mixed with the sound of the wind and the bells——
"I want to send the candidate maidens of Chiba Shrine to Kyoto ahead of schedule, can I trouble Master Onmyoji to take care of them on the way?"
Abe Wensan was stunned after hearing this sentence, "It's still early for the selection, at least half a year away..."
"The Chiba Shrine has been targeted by some evil spirits. I am afraid that those children will not be safe. According to rumors, the jade of the four souls produced by the fusion of the souls of monsters and witches can purify evil spirits and strengthen the strength of monsters. There is a The child bears such a fate, and the Chiba Shrine, which is not blessed by divine power, is not safe for her."
"If this is the case, I can take that special child to Kyoto first, and the other maidens are not in a hurry." Abe Wensan thought of the child in his family, whose head had grown three times. He really had no experience in taking care of children. , if something is neglected...it's really hard to explain.
"Those children have all been attacked by evil spirits, and their minds are much more sensitive than other children. Going alone, I am afraid they will think too much because of their previous experiences. Anyway, the candidate witches will go to Kyoto sooner or later. Hitting the sun is worse than hitting the sun. Master Onmyoji, don’t worry, they are very well-behaved children, and they will never cause you any trouble.”
Under Xinzi's persuasion again and again, Abe Wensan thought about the changes that had happened to the Chiba Shrine, and finally nodded his head like a duck on the shelf.
Because he agreed to Xinzi's request to take the maiden from Chiba Shrine to Kyoto, Abe Wenzo had to stay at Chiba Shrine for two or three days longer.
When Baishu and the others learned about this from Xinzi, the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
"Going to Kyoto? Leave the day after tomorrow?" Hua Ying muttered to herself, her slender fingers pinched together unconsciously, and began to become nervous.
"It's so sudden..." Bai Shu said with emotion, they were still listening to Yuno's lecture yesterday, but today they were told by Master Xinzi that they were about to go to Kyoto.
Xinzi's eyes fell on the three children, and she was quite reluctant to part with them, but she still raised a smile and comforted her, "Kyoto is the most prosperous place, and the covenant of divine envoys is also a ritual for witches to get close to the gods. Please don't I'm afraid, it will be much safer than Chiba Shrine, there are many outstanding Onmyoji masters in Kyoto, and monsters dare not offend there."
"But a while ago, didn't a big monster appear in Kyoto?" Huaying spoke quickly, expressing her doubts quickly.
The atmosphere became silent in an instant.
After Huaying realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, "I'm sorry...Master Xinzi...I, I just want to be with everyone in Chiba Shrine..." The more he explained, the more confused Huaying's voice became.
"There will always be monsters in this world. Although Kyoto cannot completely help you avoid monster attacks, it is much safer than Chiba Shrine. There are many powerful Onmyoji masters there. With their protection, Kyoto can always maintain bustling."
At this time, Abe Wensan's voice slowly sounded from behind Bai Shu and the other three.
Bai Shu is a little curious about this onmyoji who has recently caused a topic in the shrine, more precisely, he is extremely curious about the profession of onmyoji.
The face of this Onmyoji master is very young, he looks like he is only in his early twenties, he is wearing a clean and simple safari suit, and a white standing hat on his head.His facial features tend to be handsome, and his eyes look very radiant.
"It's my first meeting, hello. I'm an onmyoji from Kyoto, Abe Wensan." Abe Wensan looked at the three children in front of him, who only reached chest height. Children are bigger.Although there was nothing on the surface, there was still some worry in my heart.
"Hello, Master Onmyoji, my name is Huaying."
"My name is Kikyo, please take care of me."
"Bai Shu here, hello Master Onmyoji."
Abe Wensan looked at the three children who bowed their heads in unison and bowed to him... Sure enough, they were as well-behaved as Miss Xinzi said.However, the children in the family are also obedient in front of the elders. As soon as the uncle and the others leave, they start to go to the house one by one.
"..." In short, it's too late to regret now, and I hope we can have a happy relationship in the future.Even if it doesn't work, his mission will be completed when he arrives in Kyoto, and the shrine there will accept the candidate priestesses who go to Kyoto for selection.
"As Lord Onmyoji said, when you go to the capital, you can't be self-willed, and obediently listen to the arrangement of Lord Onmyoji and the shrine." Xinzi finally told them a few words.
It seems that the matter of going to the capital is a foregone conclusion, and the three of Bai Shu will no longer refute Lord Xinzi's decision.What's more, Kyoto is indeed safer than Chiba Town.It's just that they just had a deep relationship with everyone in Chiba Shrine, and they had to go to another strange place, and they would have some emotional regrets.
The three of them went back to their courtyard to pack their things, each with their own worries in their hearts, and they were silent all the way.
Bai Shu has very few things. He was an orphan when he came to this world, and his clothes are basically priestess clothes, and there is also a set of old cherry pink kimono, which was given to him by the old woman in the village.
There are not many small things, some are stuffed by jacarandas, and some are braided by Nai for them.Bai Shu doesn't like to wear jewelry, and these gadgets are neatly stored in the cabinet.
With his fingers, Bai Shu took out one small thing after another from the cabinet, until the candy fox figure appeared in his sight.
As time passed, the appearance of the fox-faced candy man became somewhat blurred due to the melting of the candy.Bai Shu avoided the sugar stains, and carefully took it out of the cabinet.
Now, he is going to the capital soon, and he wonders if he will meet that person... No, to be more precise, it should be a big monster.
Even without the time to say goodbye to him, the longing spread to the bottom of his heart, and Bai Shu looked at the fox-faced sugar man in a trance.It wasn't until Kikyo knocked on the door outside the house and told him that Sister Yuno was coming that Bai Shu came back to his senses.
"Understood, I'll come out now."
When putting down the candy figurine, Bai Shu suddenly realized that he seemed to have placed the fox demon named "Yamazaoqian" in a special place.He seems to be more special than anyone else, he is different, as long as it is still a clear memory in retrospect, Bai Shu can't tell exactly what it feels like.It can't be the fledgling plot of drawing cards, right?
When You Nai came over, he was holding three winter clothes that had just been finished in a hurry. The tailor-made clothes for them a few days ago were finally finished today.
These are three sets of regular clothes, the colors and patterns are very careful, and the preferences of the three Baishu can be seen at a glance.For example, Jacaranda likes brightly colored flowers, Bellflower likes simple and elegant cherry blossoms, and Baishu likes clothes without many patterns.
"Come and have a try, this is the common clothes prepared for you to go out on a dark day. Originally, I thought that if I didn't wear the priestess clothes to go out to play, I wouldn't be too uncomfortable to be stared at..." Arino's voice was as gentle as ever .
A few days ago, they also expected to travel on a dark day, but now it seems that they can't achieve it.The sadness of the upcoming parting welled up in her heart, Huaying threw herself into Arino's arms, her red eyes looked like a bewildered rabbit when she looked up.
"Don't cry, parting is a common thing in a person's life. Huaying must learn to accept it bravely. Every encounter is a new beginning, and every farewell is not an end. The emotion of reluctance is for the next time A better reunion."
"When we meet again next time, everyone will be very happy."
Snowflakes fell one by one, and the cold of winter covered the whole earth.
In the southwestern region not far from Kyoto, the barren hills are sporadically green, and there are not many plants that grow in all seasons, and most of them should be transformed by tree demons.
A slender figure walked in the snow without an umbrella or cover, and the pace never stopped.Crystal snowflakes fell down his eyebrows, he didn't seem to notice the chill, his face was still expressionless.
His steps were steady, leaving a series of footprints of consistent depth on the white snow.
After he had walked through the snow for a long time, a few heads poked out from the fluffy snow. The sudden green color was particularly eye-catching on the white snow. They seemed to be little tree demons who had just transformed into shapes.
"Is he really a human? Can't feel any temperature? Is it a monster turned from snow?" A tree demon lamented that the human who just walked by was a little strange.
"What's the matter with you, the soles of human shoes don't have temperature, haven't you been trampled enough? Brother!" A tree demon next to it looked at him speechlessly.
"Hey? You are the younger brother! Obviously I was the one who transformed first!"
"No wonder, I was the one who matured first! You can't compare with me... By the way, why are you still so energetic after being stepped on?"
"I wasn't stepped on, it was my younger brother who was stepped on." After the tree demon retorted, they suddenly came back to their senses, the little brother who always loves to chirp and quack was silent.
Could it be trampled flat by humans?
"Brother, are you okay?" Two tree demons asked in the direction of a footprint.
"..." A green branch struggled out from the sunken footprint, and then a half tree demon's head appeared, "Bah—!" It spat out the snow in its mouth, angrily, "You are the ones!" Brother, I obviously sprouted it first."
"Don't talk about this unnutritious topic anymore. Where is that human being going just now? He walked a long way, this place is a barren hill, and there is no village next to it... All in all, he is really a strange human being well."
"It's none of our business."
"The direction he is going is Phoenix Forest, right? I remember there is a strange monster there, maybe it will be burned to death by the flames."
"It's none of our business."
"If you don't even care about this bit of gossip, are we going to enter hibernation?! Monsters don't need to hibernate!"
"It doesn't matter...it makes sense, let's sneak over and have a look."
The two tree demons crawled out of the snow, shook off the snow from their bodies, and prepared to go and have a look in that person's direction together.
"Where is I—!" A shrill voice came from the snow, and the tree demon, whose body was half pressed in the snow, yelled loudly.The other two dryads had no choice but to dig out their brother from the footprints and take him on the road together.
However, this kind of tossing about wasted a lot of time.The wind in winter is biting, and the snow is constantly heavy. How can they catch up with that human's footsteps?When the footprints in the snow are engulfed by the wind and snow again, the human will probably not be seen anymore.
The person who was missed by the three tree demons was none other than Yuan Jiangtian who had received the Patriarch's order and came out to carry it out.
The big monster in the southwest, and it only appeared recently.It shouldn't be the Firebird from the Phoenix Forest.So, what kind of monster would it be, wanting to go to Kyoto?
"Bang!" There was a loud noise suddenly from the originally peaceful barren hills.It was almost nightfall, and the east wind was blowing violently.Yuan Jiangtian smelled the evil spirit coming from the wind direction, and rushed in that direction without the slightest hesitation.
It is indeed the monster aura that the big monster only has, but there are also some strange human auras.I don't know what kind of monster is fighting with a human onmyoji?
"Bang!" There was another loud bang.
Several deep gullies appeared in the snow, the soil was rolled up, and the frozen ice layer was also cracked by the tyrannical demon force.
Naluo quickly opened the spider web, avoiding the cold blade.The power of Iron Broken Fang was as strong as ever, just passing by its blade, the demon power coming from the pavement broke his spider thread.
"Hmph." Nai Luo sneered, not every half-demon can have Iron Broken Fang, this guy is considered lucky.
When the blow was missed, Inuyasha clenched the iron broken teeth in his hand, and the irritated animal pupils slowly appeared in his eyes, "Where is the jade of the four souls?"
"I don't know." Naraku's expression didn't fluctuate at all when he spoke nonsense with his eyes open.It's impossible to tell this guy, he just came here to kill this variable in the cradle as soon as possible.
The southwest of Kyoto is the barren hills, and the south is the Phoenix Forest.Huangqiu connects Chiba Town and Kyoto, this distance is not too far, no matter how you look at it, Naraku feels uneasy.
"Stop doing this, anyway, after killing you, no one would dare to snatch the jade of the four souls from me."
The plain white snowflakes did not have time to fall on the bodies of the two half-demons, and all of them were swept away by the raging demon power around them, and the snow foam and the wind fluttered indiscriminately.The two tyrannical forces collided together, and the sound of the fight caused the little monsters in the barren hills to flee following the sound.
The three tree demons retreated into the snow, pretending that they had never appeared before.The branches trembled into a bunch, and they didn't dare to emerge from the snow easily.Originally, he just came here with humans, but now he almost hit the scene of a disaster, so unlucky.
"Sah!" was the sound of the blade being unsheathed.
A huge spiritual power that did not belong to monsters spread out, stopping the fighting between the two half-monsters, and each looked suspiciously at the person who came.
It turned out to be human?
Naraku's heart was startled, human beings who can come to this place alone are not a character to be fooled with.Dozens of thoughts arose at the thought, and Naraku's thoughts were dense, and he stared at the human beings in front of him with calm eyes.
This person looked sick, his face was bloodless, and his face was expressionless, not indifferent, but a feeling of emptiness.The human samurai sword in his hand exudes a sense of menace, and the coldness that is better than the cold wind spreads from the sword. It is a cold that permeates the soul and trembles.
"Demon Slaying Sword...you are from the Gen family of Kyoto..." Naraku's pupils constricted, and he subconsciously began to avoid the man's blade.
"A big monster appeared in the southwest and made trouble. Where is it?" The emotionless words were very clear, and Yuan Jiangtian's eyes reflected two half-monster figures.Half human, half monster... or both, who is his target?
Inuyasha frowned, feeling uncomfortable being oppressed by spiritual power, "What nonsense are you talking about, are you here to find fault?" The demon power hidden in Iron Broken Fang seemed to be aroused, the more powerful the enemy, The more it can arouse the bloodiness of the half-demon as a monster.
Different from Naraku's cautiousness, Inuyasha with vertical animal eyes looked at Yuan Jiangtian, and his fighting spirit was self-evident.
What a reckless guy, but that is a weapon raised by Genji, a human yin and yang family.Naraku guessed what Inuyasha was thinking, and sneered in his heart, lowering his eyebrows and thinking about how to get out.
Naraku didn't have time to think about it, Yuan Jiangtian didn't intend to wait for their answer at all, and directly slashed at his heart with the guardian knife.
"..." Naluo quickly dodged back, but was still a step too slow to avoid it.The sharp point of the knife cut through the purple kimono, and the cold air rushed into his body in an instant, as if it could engulf him.
How could this human being be so powerful?To be more precise, the knife in his hand actually oppressed him much more than Tie Sui Ya.Naluo was shocked, and covered the position of the heart with one hand, allowing the blood to soak into his palm, the blade did not cut through the heart, but the sharp cold air that overflowed cut the flesh.
After drinking the blood, the blade in Yuan Jiangtian's hand became more imposing.He suddenly remembered something, lost his persistence in hunting Naluo, who was about to hit him with one blow, and turned around to face Tie Suiya instead.
"Bang!" The snow was shaken away, and the monster power and spiritual power collided fiercely.
But not long after, Inuyasha's expression suddenly changed.The knife facing Tie Sui Ya could cut Tie Sui Ya open!The incomparably sharp blade rested on his heart, almost passing through his chest, but the man stopped his hand steadily.
"To be captured alive." He murmured, not knowing why he wanted to carry out this strange request.
Blood splashed in the snow, red and white intertwined, as if silently telling what happened just now.
Naraku escaped from Yuan Jiangtian's grasp, perhaps that person had no intention of hunting him down.The strange aura left by the blade made of unknown texture was strangled in his heart, and he was uncomfortable and panicked.
The man said he wanted to live, so he was about to die?Obviously it's just a slash, but sure enough... just the power of a half-demon, is it still so weak when it meets Genji's "Ghost Slayer Blade"?
I really want to...become a real monster, get rid of the weakness of being a human being, and have more powerful power!
"Is he dead?" In a daze of consciousness, Naraku heard a shrill voice discussing in a trance.
"It's none of our business."
"I don't know, is he a human or a monster?"
"It's none of our business."
"Can you save him? He looks like he's dying."
"It's none of our business."
"Brother, don't keep saying the same thing, it's a waste of saliva."
The noise of the dryads made Naluo's consciousness even more blurred. He still remembered that there were also two little monsters who liked to talk one after the other.Anyway, without his restraint, those little monsters should be happier in the future.
"Why did you three tree demons come to the edge of the Phoenix Forest?" A voice suddenly sounded from behind the tree demons, followed by blazing anger.
The tree demons hugged into a ball and turned their heads tremblingly.What catches the eye is a pair of wings that are about to fly, and there are clusters of fire feathers on her body, which are blazing and never extinguished.Sure enough, it was the lord guarding the Fenghuanglin Shrine, "Master Fenghuanghuo, we are looking at the snow scene."
"I don't like monsters who are full of lies." Fenghuang Huo's voice was serious, and the flames jumping from his fingertips were bright and hot. Burning the three little tree demons was not a problem, let alone fire can kill wood.
Under the threat of their lives, the dryads revealed all their affairs.Fenghuanghuo listened thoughtfully, she just felt a particularly cold force coming from here, she thought it would be ghosts and evil spirits, but she didn't expect it to be... "Genji...?"
No matter what, she will protect the shrine in the Phoenix Forest, because this is the meaning of her existence.
"That... Master Fenghuanghuo, what should I do with this person?" A tree demon pointed at Naluo on the ground with its branch, and looked at Fenghuanghuo blankly.
The pure and clean eyes of the dryads are like human children. Their thinking is only "seeing death but not saving" and "seeing death to save", but they don't know whether it is good or bad.Fenghuanghuo was silent for a while, the person in front of her was not a kind person, she could feel that this half-demon had more quling spirits than straight spirits.
"After making his wound stop bleeding, you should leave quickly. The barren hills are not safe recently. If you are in danger, you can hide in the Phoenix Forest." Phoenix Fire said to the little tree demons. The eyebrows and eyes are not as majestic as usual.
The snow finally stopped, and Bai Shu and others set off for Kyoto.
In order not to embarrass the three children, Abe Wensan sat outside the carriage with the driver, and inside the carriage were the three of Bai Shu.
They had just left Chiba Town, with the clatter of horseshoes and the smooth rotation of the wheels. Occasionally, they would bump when they bumped into stones on the side of the road. The road was fairly stable.
"Huh? Master Onmyoji, someone is unconscious on the road ahead..." The coachman had sharp eyes and grabbed the horse rope to stop the carriage quickly.
Abe Wensan was paying attention to whether the three children in the carriage would have any emotions. Hearing what the coachman said, he quickly turned his attention to the road ahead.
The snow that had fallen last night hadn't melted yet, the man was wearing a purple kimono with many holes in it, and passed out on the side of the road.
I don't know if there is any breath left. If you are unconscious in the snow in such a cold day, your body will be frozen stiff... Abe Wen San thought anxiously, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage to check the man's injuries.
Huaying looked outside the house, but didn't see any familiar figure, so she asked worriedly, "Where's Sister You Nai? Why didn't she come back?"
The attendant answered her respectfully, "Master Yuno took Mr. Onmyoji to see Mrs. Xinzi, and I can't get away for the time being. You can rest first, Mrs. Mikoto. Mr. Yuno said that the rest of today's class will be cancelled, and we will continue tomorrow."
"Okay, thanks for your hard work." Bai Shu nodded and poured a cup of hot tea for the attendant who rushed over from the snow.The attendant shied away, and there were differences between the top and bottom of the shrine, which is not allowed according to the rules. "If you don't drink it, just use it as a hand warmer. It's just a cup of tea. You're welcome."
"Thank you, little witch..." The attendant didn't hesitate this time. It's freezing cold, and it's really good to have a warm teacup to warm your palms.
The attendant got up and left after not sitting for a long time. She still had a lot of things to do.The three of them watched the figure of the attendant walk out of the courtyard. Outside the house was a vast expanse of white snow, which lowered the bare branches, and the whiteness was heavy.
"It will be a dark day in a while, and the New Year will be celebrated soon." Kikyo looked at the gray sky, and for some reason, she suddenly missed her family.Half a year later, I don't know if the little girl Feng has grown taller, and whether everyone in the village is okay.
"Yes, you can go out on a dark day. Huaying didn't see enough markets last time. This time, you can have a good time." Bai Shu still remembered the last time he went to the market with You Nai Huaying, suddenly the afternoon rose The rain disrupted the original plan.
Huaying still had a fresh memory of that time, she nodded and said seriously, "This time we all want to go together, Huaying also wants to play with Sister Yuno."
"Jacaranda's wish will definitely come true." Kikyo joined the topic with a smile.
"Why? Is it the gods who will fulfill the wish of the jacaranda?" The expression of the eyes looking at Kikyo was so simple and pure that she couldn't find the words to answer for a while.
Will the gods grant human wishes?
She doesn't know either.
"The gods will bless a good boy like you, Huaying, all kindness will not be let down, and good wishes will come true." Bai Shu answered her with the words of the old woman in the village.
"That's great! Huaying will also be a kind person in the future! Be as gentle as Baishu, Kikyo, and Arino."
"it is good."
In Xinzi's courtyard.
Yuno brewed two cups of high-quality tea, set them up for the two people who were sitting at the tea table talking about serious matters, stood up and saluted, then retreated, and waited at the door.
The originally curled tea leaves were opened in hot water, and when the lid was lifted, there was only a burst of refreshing fragrance.
"Master Onmyoji, please drink tea." Xinzi sat in front of the coffee table, very polite to the distinguished guest from Kyoto.
"Thank you." The onmyoji who came to Chiba Town this time is a branch of the Abe family, and his name is Abe Wensan. He looks like he is only in his early twenties, and he is very talented in onmyoji, otherwise he would not have been sent here Strengthen the enchantment of the shrine.
Abe Wensan raised his hands and gestures to advance and retreat politely, which made Xinzi have a good first impression of him.
Before finishing a cup of tea, Xinzi asked him straight to the point during the interval between tasting tea, "Why did Master Onmyoji come here this time?"
"Kyoto was not stable a while ago, and your shrine's request for help was temporarily put on hold. We are very sorry. Abe Masaki-sama sent me to Chiba Shrine to strengthen the barrier a few days ago, so I rushed here non-stop."
Abe Wensan's words said the best of both worlds. First, he explained why he was late and apologized sincerely, and then he said that he rushed over after receiving the order.Let no one find any faults in it.
"I hope everything is fine in Kyoto. I'll take Master Onmyoji to the enchantment of the shrine later." Xinzi was tired of being polite. Too many things happened in the past few days. She just wanted to solve the hidden dangers quickly, and then continued Go to the shrine to pray.Only by staying in the shrine can her heart feel at peace.
Abe Wensan's insight is very good, he can see the exhaustion hidden in Xinzi's eyes, and he doesn't chat too much.When he came over, the Chiba Shrine was still full of incense, and it didn't look like it was about to lose. Why did Xinzi, the head maiden of the Chiba Shrine, look disgusted?
After drinking tea, Xinzi took Abe Wenzo to the enchantment center of Chiba Shrine.At the end of the corridor, it was snowing outside, and Aruno handed Abe Wensan an oil-paper umbrella, but he declined.
Onmyojis are full of spiritual power, isolating falling snow is just a matter of convenience, and holding an umbrella is unnecessary.
There are two enchantment centers in Chiba Shrine, one is the shrine of Oyatsu-sama, and the other is the shrine of Hiriya-sama.The former is dominant and the latter is secondary.Abe Wensan found that although the enchantment of the shrine is not worn out, it is not necessarily very strong. It is as ordinary as the enchantment of the house of an onmyoji in Kyoto.
After Abe Wensan checked the enchantment of Chiba Shrine, he turned to ask Xinzi. "Is this enchantment man-made?"
"Yes, the last time the shrine was invaded by monsters, I led the psychic priestesses to set up two barriers. I specialize in art, and we also know that the barriers we set up are not very strong, so I want to ask the people in Kyoto Master Onmyoji, please help."
After Xinzi told about the monster's invasion of Chiba Shrine, Abe Wensan's eyes immediately flashed a look of disbelief.
"You said, did a monster break into the shrine?" The god served by the Chiba Shrine is Lord Mitsu, how could there be no divine power in the shrine?But if there is the blessing of divine power, how can the monster break in?The two contradictory guesses gave Abe Wensan a bad feeling.
"Yes, and evil monsters." In ancient times, monsters were also divided into two types, evil monsters and kind monsters. Some gods would allow kind monsters to enter their sanctuary.Monsters who come to fight for the jade of the four souls and attempt to hurt people, the enchantment blessed by divine power will never let them in.
"How could this happen..." Abe Wensan murmured in a low voice. There are also many shrines dedicated to gods without the protection of divine power, but the shadow of Inari God appeared in Chiba Shrine before... The snow outside the house fell again, The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Abe caught a glimpse of the tiredness on Xinzi's face from the corner of his eyes, and he suddenly understood something.
Chiba Shrine no longer has divine protection, but before the monsters invaded the shrine, Chiba Shrine still had divine protection.The disappearing divine power is like the gods abandoning her believers, how could Xinzi feel better.
So far, there is nothing Abe Wensan can do to remedy this than, "I will do my best to strengthen the barrier."
"Thank you, Master Onmyoji." Xinzi thanked him.
"You're welcome." Abe Wensan shook his head, it was his duty to come to Chiba Town.
Abe Wensan started to repair the barrier, and behind him, Xinzi gave him a complicated look.Most of the onmyojis in Kyoto are arrogant, but this young man is very easy-going and polite.
If Master Onmyoji had come earlier, the disaster of the day before the Winter Festival would not have happened, right?This idea only flashed in Xinzi's mind, and was quickly denied.
When they didn't notice, their divine power gradually faded away. Recently, there are frequent evil spirits in the town. There are too many possibilities for accidents, and it's too late to reminisce and regret.
However, what will the child in Chiba Shrine who bears the jade of the four souls do in the future?Without the divine protection of Master Yu Yanjin, they also do not have the strength to protect the jade of the four souls.
It was already two days after Abe Wenzo repaired the enchantment of Chiba Shrine.Xinzi also wanted to ask him to stay a few more days as a guest, but Abe Wensan refused.
"After this year's dark day, Kyoto will start preparing for the selection of the envoy appointment, and I will go back to help as soon as possible."
Abe Wensan's words reminded Xinzi, and made her tired eyes suddenly a little more happy.How could she have forgotten this!
Every ten years, Kyoto will hold a "covenant of divine envoys" to select outstanding priestesses from all over the world as the chief priestess in the grand ceremony of praying to the gods.
"If I remember correctly, this time the envoy's appointment will be two years later?" Xinzi asked.
Abe Wensan nodded, seeing that Xinzi was interested in this topic, he continued, "However, witches are always selected in advance, and someone will come to Chiba Town to inform you when the time comes."
The covenant of the envoy is not a secret. As a grand ceremony held once every ten years, Kyoto prepares very carefully every time.Even onmyojis need to participate in it, to ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons, and to pray and sacrifice for the people of the world.
"I have one thing to ask Master Onmyoji..." Xinzi's voice was gentle but extremely serious.
"If it's something I can do, I'll do my best."
The cold winter wind blew the bells under the eaves outside the house, and You Nao stood guard at the door, and she heard the firm words of Master Xinzi mixed with the sound of the wind and the bells——
"I want to send the candidate maidens of Chiba Shrine to Kyoto ahead of schedule, can I trouble Master Onmyoji to take care of them on the way?"
Abe Wensan was stunned after hearing this sentence, "It's still early for the selection, at least half a year away..."
"The Chiba Shrine has been targeted by some evil spirits. I am afraid that those children will not be safe. According to rumors, the jade of the four souls produced by the fusion of the souls of monsters and witches can purify evil spirits and strengthen the strength of monsters. There is a The child bears such a fate, and the Chiba Shrine, which is not blessed by divine power, is not safe for her."
"If this is the case, I can take that special child to Kyoto first, and the other maidens are not in a hurry." Abe Wensan thought of the child in his family, whose head had grown three times. He really had no experience in taking care of children. , if something is neglected...it's really hard to explain.
"Those children have all been attacked by evil spirits, and their minds are much more sensitive than other children. Going alone, I am afraid they will think too much because of their previous experiences. Anyway, the candidate witches will go to Kyoto sooner or later. Hitting the sun is worse than hitting the sun. Master Onmyoji, don’t worry, they are very well-behaved children, and they will never cause you any trouble.”
Under Xinzi's persuasion again and again, Abe Wensan thought about the changes that had happened to the Chiba Shrine, and finally nodded his head like a duck on the shelf.
Because he agreed to Xinzi's request to take the maiden from Chiba Shrine to Kyoto, Abe Wenzo had to stay at Chiba Shrine for two or three days longer.
When Baishu and the others learned about this from Xinzi, the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
"Going to Kyoto? Leave the day after tomorrow?" Hua Ying muttered to herself, her slender fingers pinched together unconsciously, and began to become nervous.
"It's so sudden..." Bai Shu said with emotion, they were still listening to Yuno's lecture yesterday, but today they were told by Master Xinzi that they were about to go to Kyoto.
Xinzi's eyes fell on the three children, and she was quite reluctant to part with them, but she still raised a smile and comforted her, "Kyoto is the most prosperous place, and the covenant of divine envoys is also a ritual for witches to get close to the gods. Please don't I'm afraid, it will be much safer than Chiba Shrine, there are many outstanding Onmyoji masters in Kyoto, and monsters dare not offend there."
"But a while ago, didn't a big monster appear in Kyoto?" Huaying spoke quickly, expressing her doubts quickly.
The atmosphere became silent in an instant.
After Huaying realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, "I'm sorry...Master Xinzi...I, I just want to be with everyone in Chiba Shrine..." The more he explained, the more confused Huaying's voice became.
"There will always be monsters in this world. Although Kyoto cannot completely help you avoid monster attacks, it is much safer than Chiba Shrine. There are many powerful Onmyoji masters there. With their protection, Kyoto can always maintain bustling."
At this time, Abe Wensan's voice slowly sounded from behind Bai Shu and the other three.
Bai Shu is a little curious about this onmyoji who has recently caused a topic in the shrine, more precisely, he is extremely curious about the profession of onmyoji.
The face of this Onmyoji master is very young, he looks like he is only in his early twenties, he is wearing a clean and simple safari suit, and a white standing hat on his head.His facial features tend to be handsome, and his eyes look very radiant.
"It's my first meeting, hello. I'm an onmyoji from Kyoto, Abe Wensan." Abe Wensan looked at the three children in front of him, who only reached chest height. Children are bigger.Although there was nothing on the surface, there was still some worry in my heart.
"Hello, Master Onmyoji, my name is Huaying."
"My name is Kikyo, please take care of me."
"Bai Shu here, hello Master Onmyoji."
Abe Wensan looked at the three children who bowed their heads in unison and bowed to him... Sure enough, they were as well-behaved as Miss Xinzi said.However, the children in the family are also obedient in front of the elders. As soon as the uncle and the others leave, they start to go to the house one by one.
"..." In short, it's too late to regret now, and I hope we can have a happy relationship in the future.Even if it doesn't work, his mission will be completed when he arrives in Kyoto, and the shrine there will accept the candidate priestesses who go to Kyoto for selection.
"As Lord Onmyoji said, when you go to the capital, you can't be self-willed, and obediently listen to the arrangement of Lord Onmyoji and the shrine." Xinzi finally told them a few words.
It seems that the matter of going to the capital is a foregone conclusion, and the three of Bai Shu will no longer refute Lord Xinzi's decision.What's more, Kyoto is indeed safer than Chiba Town.It's just that they just had a deep relationship with everyone in Chiba Shrine, and they had to go to another strange place, and they would have some emotional regrets.
The three of them went back to their courtyard to pack their things, each with their own worries in their hearts, and they were silent all the way.
Bai Shu has very few things. He was an orphan when he came to this world, and his clothes are basically priestess clothes, and there is also a set of old cherry pink kimono, which was given to him by the old woman in the village.
There are not many small things, some are stuffed by jacarandas, and some are braided by Nai for them.Bai Shu doesn't like to wear jewelry, and these gadgets are neatly stored in the cabinet.
With his fingers, Bai Shu took out one small thing after another from the cabinet, until the candy fox figure appeared in his sight.
As time passed, the appearance of the fox-faced candy man became somewhat blurred due to the melting of the candy.Bai Shu avoided the sugar stains, and carefully took it out of the cabinet.
Now, he is going to the capital soon, and he wonders if he will meet that person... No, to be more precise, it should be a big monster.
Even without the time to say goodbye to him, the longing spread to the bottom of his heart, and Bai Shu looked at the fox-faced sugar man in a trance.It wasn't until Kikyo knocked on the door outside the house and told him that Sister Yuno was coming that Bai Shu came back to his senses.
"Understood, I'll come out now."
When putting down the candy figurine, Bai Shu suddenly realized that he seemed to have placed the fox demon named "Yamazaoqian" in a special place.He seems to be more special than anyone else, he is different, as long as it is still a clear memory in retrospect, Bai Shu can't tell exactly what it feels like.It can't be the fledgling plot of drawing cards, right?
When You Nai came over, he was holding three winter clothes that had just been finished in a hurry. The tailor-made clothes for them a few days ago were finally finished today.
These are three sets of regular clothes, the colors and patterns are very careful, and the preferences of the three Baishu can be seen at a glance.For example, Jacaranda likes brightly colored flowers, Bellflower likes simple and elegant cherry blossoms, and Baishu likes clothes without many patterns.
"Come and have a try, this is the common clothes prepared for you to go out on a dark day. Originally, I thought that if I didn't wear the priestess clothes to go out to play, I wouldn't be too uncomfortable to be stared at..." Arino's voice was as gentle as ever .
A few days ago, they also expected to travel on a dark day, but now it seems that they can't achieve it.The sadness of the upcoming parting welled up in her heart, Huaying threw herself into Arino's arms, her red eyes looked like a bewildered rabbit when she looked up.
"Don't cry, parting is a common thing in a person's life. Huaying must learn to accept it bravely. Every encounter is a new beginning, and every farewell is not an end. The emotion of reluctance is for the next time A better reunion."
"When we meet again next time, everyone will be very happy."
Snowflakes fell one by one, and the cold of winter covered the whole earth.
In the southwestern region not far from Kyoto, the barren hills are sporadically green, and there are not many plants that grow in all seasons, and most of them should be transformed by tree demons.
A slender figure walked in the snow without an umbrella or cover, and the pace never stopped.Crystal snowflakes fell down his eyebrows, he didn't seem to notice the chill, his face was still expressionless.
His steps were steady, leaving a series of footprints of consistent depth on the white snow.
After he had walked through the snow for a long time, a few heads poked out from the fluffy snow. The sudden green color was particularly eye-catching on the white snow. They seemed to be little tree demons who had just transformed into shapes.
"Is he really a human? Can't feel any temperature? Is it a monster turned from snow?" A tree demon lamented that the human who just walked by was a little strange.
"What's the matter with you, the soles of human shoes don't have temperature, haven't you been trampled enough? Brother!" A tree demon next to it looked at him speechlessly.
"Hey? You are the younger brother! Obviously I was the one who transformed first!"
"No wonder, I was the one who matured first! You can't compare with me... By the way, why are you still so energetic after being stepped on?"
"I wasn't stepped on, it was my younger brother who was stepped on." After the tree demon retorted, they suddenly came back to their senses, the little brother who always loves to chirp and quack was silent.
Could it be trampled flat by humans?
"Brother, are you okay?" Two tree demons asked in the direction of a footprint.
"..." A green branch struggled out from the sunken footprint, and then a half tree demon's head appeared, "Bah—!" It spat out the snow in its mouth, angrily, "You are the ones!" Brother, I obviously sprouted it first."
"Don't talk about this unnutritious topic anymore. Where is that human being going just now? He walked a long way, this place is a barren hill, and there is no village next to it... All in all, he is really a strange human being well."
"It's none of our business."
"The direction he is going is Phoenix Forest, right? I remember there is a strange monster there, maybe it will be burned to death by the flames."
"It's none of our business."
"If you don't even care about this bit of gossip, are we going to enter hibernation?! Monsters don't need to hibernate!"
"It doesn't matter...it makes sense, let's sneak over and have a look."
The two tree demons crawled out of the snow, shook off the snow from their bodies, and prepared to go and have a look in that person's direction together.
"Where is I—!" A shrill voice came from the snow, and the tree demon, whose body was half pressed in the snow, yelled loudly.The other two dryads had no choice but to dig out their brother from the footprints and take him on the road together.
However, this kind of tossing about wasted a lot of time.The wind in winter is biting, and the snow is constantly heavy. How can they catch up with that human's footsteps?When the footprints in the snow are engulfed by the wind and snow again, the human will probably not be seen anymore.
The person who was missed by the three tree demons was none other than Yuan Jiangtian who had received the Patriarch's order and came out to carry it out.
The big monster in the southwest, and it only appeared recently.It shouldn't be the Firebird from the Phoenix Forest.So, what kind of monster would it be, wanting to go to Kyoto?
"Bang!" There was a loud noise suddenly from the originally peaceful barren hills.It was almost nightfall, and the east wind was blowing violently.Yuan Jiangtian smelled the evil spirit coming from the wind direction, and rushed in that direction without the slightest hesitation.
It is indeed the monster aura that the big monster only has, but there are also some strange human auras.I don't know what kind of monster is fighting with a human onmyoji?
"Bang!" There was another loud bang.
Several deep gullies appeared in the snow, the soil was rolled up, and the frozen ice layer was also cracked by the tyrannical demon force.
Naluo quickly opened the spider web, avoiding the cold blade.The power of Iron Broken Fang was as strong as ever, just passing by its blade, the demon power coming from the pavement broke his spider thread.
"Hmph." Nai Luo sneered, not every half-demon can have Iron Broken Fang, this guy is considered lucky.
When the blow was missed, Inuyasha clenched the iron broken teeth in his hand, and the irritated animal pupils slowly appeared in his eyes, "Where is the jade of the four souls?"
"I don't know." Naraku's expression didn't fluctuate at all when he spoke nonsense with his eyes open.It's impossible to tell this guy, he just came here to kill this variable in the cradle as soon as possible.
The southwest of Kyoto is the barren hills, and the south is the Phoenix Forest.Huangqiu connects Chiba Town and Kyoto, this distance is not too far, no matter how you look at it, Naraku feels uneasy.
"Stop doing this, anyway, after killing you, no one would dare to snatch the jade of the four souls from me."
The plain white snowflakes did not have time to fall on the bodies of the two half-demons, and all of them were swept away by the raging demon power around them, and the snow foam and the wind fluttered indiscriminately.The two tyrannical forces collided together, and the sound of the fight caused the little monsters in the barren hills to flee following the sound.
The three tree demons retreated into the snow, pretending that they had never appeared before.The branches trembled into a bunch, and they didn't dare to emerge from the snow easily.Originally, he just came here with humans, but now he almost hit the scene of a disaster, so unlucky.
"Sah!" was the sound of the blade being unsheathed.
A huge spiritual power that did not belong to monsters spread out, stopping the fighting between the two half-monsters, and each looked suspiciously at the person who came.
It turned out to be human?
Naraku's heart was startled, human beings who can come to this place alone are not a character to be fooled with.Dozens of thoughts arose at the thought, and Naraku's thoughts were dense, and he stared at the human beings in front of him with calm eyes.
This person looked sick, his face was bloodless, and his face was expressionless, not indifferent, but a feeling of emptiness.The human samurai sword in his hand exudes a sense of menace, and the coldness that is better than the cold wind spreads from the sword. It is a cold that permeates the soul and trembles.
"Demon Slaying Sword...you are from the Gen family of Kyoto..." Naraku's pupils constricted, and he subconsciously began to avoid the man's blade.
"A big monster appeared in the southwest and made trouble. Where is it?" The emotionless words were very clear, and Yuan Jiangtian's eyes reflected two half-monster figures.Half human, half monster... or both, who is his target?
Inuyasha frowned, feeling uncomfortable being oppressed by spiritual power, "What nonsense are you talking about, are you here to find fault?" The demon power hidden in Iron Broken Fang seemed to be aroused, the more powerful the enemy, The more it can arouse the bloodiness of the half-demon as a monster.
Different from Naraku's cautiousness, Inuyasha with vertical animal eyes looked at Yuan Jiangtian, and his fighting spirit was self-evident.
What a reckless guy, but that is a weapon raised by Genji, a human yin and yang family.Naraku guessed what Inuyasha was thinking, and sneered in his heart, lowering his eyebrows and thinking about how to get out.
Naraku didn't have time to think about it, Yuan Jiangtian didn't intend to wait for their answer at all, and directly slashed at his heart with the guardian knife.
"..." Naluo quickly dodged back, but was still a step too slow to avoid it.The sharp point of the knife cut through the purple kimono, and the cold air rushed into his body in an instant, as if it could engulf him.
How could this human being be so powerful?To be more precise, the knife in his hand actually oppressed him much more than Tie Sui Ya.Naluo was shocked, and covered the position of the heart with one hand, allowing the blood to soak into his palm, the blade did not cut through the heart, but the sharp cold air that overflowed cut the flesh.
After drinking the blood, the blade in Yuan Jiangtian's hand became more imposing.He suddenly remembered something, lost his persistence in hunting Naluo, who was about to hit him with one blow, and turned around to face Tie Suiya instead.
"Bang!" The snow was shaken away, and the monster power and spiritual power collided fiercely.
But not long after, Inuyasha's expression suddenly changed.The knife facing Tie Sui Ya could cut Tie Sui Ya open!The incomparably sharp blade rested on his heart, almost passing through his chest, but the man stopped his hand steadily.
"To be captured alive." He murmured, not knowing why he wanted to carry out this strange request.
Blood splashed in the snow, red and white intertwined, as if silently telling what happened just now.
Naraku escaped from Yuan Jiangtian's grasp, perhaps that person had no intention of hunting him down.The strange aura left by the blade made of unknown texture was strangled in his heart, and he was uncomfortable and panicked.
The man said he wanted to live, so he was about to die?Obviously it's just a slash, but sure enough... just the power of a half-demon, is it still so weak when it meets Genji's "Ghost Slayer Blade"?
I really want to...become a real monster, get rid of the weakness of being a human being, and have more powerful power!
"Is he dead?" In a daze of consciousness, Naraku heard a shrill voice discussing in a trance.
"It's none of our business."
"I don't know, is he a human or a monster?"
"It's none of our business."
"Can you save him? He looks like he's dying."
"It's none of our business."
"Brother, don't keep saying the same thing, it's a waste of saliva."
The noise of the dryads made Naluo's consciousness even more blurred. He still remembered that there were also two little monsters who liked to talk one after the other.Anyway, without his restraint, those little monsters should be happier in the future.
"Why did you three tree demons come to the edge of the Phoenix Forest?" A voice suddenly sounded from behind the tree demons, followed by blazing anger.
The tree demons hugged into a ball and turned their heads tremblingly.What catches the eye is a pair of wings that are about to fly, and there are clusters of fire feathers on her body, which are blazing and never extinguished.Sure enough, it was the lord guarding the Fenghuanglin Shrine, "Master Fenghuanghuo, we are looking at the snow scene."
"I don't like monsters who are full of lies." Fenghuang Huo's voice was serious, and the flames jumping from his fingertips were bright and hot. Burning the three little tree demons was not a problem, let alone fire can kill wood.
Under the threat of their lives, the dryads revealed all their affairs.Fenghuanghuo listened thoughtfully, she just felt a particularly cold force coming from here, she thought it would be ghosts and evil spirits, but she didn't expect it to be... "Genji...?"
No matter what, she will protect the shrine in the Phoenix Forest, because this is the meaning of her existence.
"That... Master Fenghuanghuo, what should I do with this person?" A tree demon pointed at Naluo on the ground with its branch, and looked at Fenghuanghuo blankly.
The pure and clean eyes of the dryads are like human children. Their thinking is only "seeing death but not saving" and "seeing death to save", but they don't know whether it is good or bad.Fenghuanghuo was silent for a while, the person in front of her was not a kind person, she could feel that this half-demon had more quling spirits than straight spirits.
"After making his wound stop bleeding, you should leave quickly. The barren hills are not safe recently. If you are in danger, you can hide in the Phoenix Forest." Phoenix Fire said to the little tree demons. The eyebrows and eyes are not as majestic as usual.
The snow finally stopped, and Bai Shu and others set off for Kyoto.
In order not to embarrass the three children, Abe Wensan sat outside the carriage with the driver, and inside the carriage were the three of Bai Shu.
They had just left Chiba Town, with the clatter of horseshoes and the smooth rotation of the wheels. Occasionally, they would bump when they bumped into stones on the side of the road. The road was fairly stable.
"Huh? Master Onmyoji, someone is unconscious on the road ahead..." The coachman had sharp eyes and grabbed the horse rope to stop the carriage quickly.
Abe Wensan was paying attention to whether the three children in the carriage would have any emotions. Hearing what the coachman said, he quickly turned his attention to the road ahead.
The snow that had fallen last night hadn't melted yet, the man was wearing a purple kimono with many holes in it, and passed out on the side of the road.
I don't know if there is any breath left. If you are unconscious in the snow in such a cold day, your body will be frozen stiff... Abe Wen San thought anxiously, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage to check the man's injuries.
