Although there was a strange oolong, but fortunately it did not cause any serious consequences.After a few chats at Saeki's house, everyone tacitly turned over this slightly embarrassing matter. Sawada Ya proposed her real purpose of coming here, and wanted to visit the altar of the soil spider.

The altar of the earth spider family is actually the place where the ancestors slept. When they moved from Heiankyo to Natsume World, most of the earth spiders were in a deep sleep state. Some of them have not yet woken up. After the previous chaos in Kyoto, he also chose to sleep in the altar.

It stands to reason that that area is a forbidden area of ​​the Guoqi clan, and even members of the clan, except for the patriarch and the next patriarch's heirs, cannot easily set foot there.But it stands to reason that this cannot be placed on Sawada Lolita, who has never been in line with common sense. As soon as she mentioned it, Sui, who is acting as an agent for the affairs of the family, immediately agreed.

"Actually, even if you don't tell Ji Jun, we are going to invite you to come over." The second uncle said with a serious expression, frowning.

"Eh?"

"Just a few days ago, the patriarch woke up suddenly." The second uncle said, "He was awake for a short time. When I noticed the movement and hurried over, I only had time to get an order, and the ancestor continued to sleep."

Sawada Ya blinked, "Want to see me?"

"Yes, there happened to be some incidents in the clan at that time, so we were going to send someone to find you after we arranged the barrier outside, but we didn't expect that the action was so slow that you came here first."

Soil Spider, Tokuko, and Yimu even said that they were forced to sleep, but they were not particularly forced.Because they were inextricably linked with a certain loli before, and they hadn't done anything bad, they were barely in the lawful camp, so they didn't belong to being suppressed by the world, but a state of deep sleep that they took the initiative to enter.It’s okay to wake up halfway, but it will be under tremendous pressure, like a strong person who has to squeeze into a box with a small space. It’s very uncomfortable and not friendly to the box, so there’s nothing wrong with it. They will not take the initiative to wake up for important things.

Now that he is waking up under the pressure, it means that what he wants to say is very important.

Sawada Ya didn't delay much, and immediately went to the altar after listening to the second uncle's words.

The altar of the earth spider clan is not with the clan site. Deeper in the mountain, in the middle of the vast forest, there is a weedy wasteland surrounded by ropes. In the center of the wasteland is the sleeping shrine of the earth spider clan.

I don’t know if it’s because the earth spiders don’t care much about form. The shrine stands in the middle of the grass. After hundreds of years of sun and rain, the appearance looks very dilapidated. Probably thought it was some wild god enshrined in the barren mountain.

Because of their past experience, the earth spiders did not have a good impression of the gods, so the furnishings in the shrine were also very careless. There was only a majestic cylindrical stone tablet in the place where the god tablet should be enshrined.A simple pattern is outlined in the center of the stele, like a totem worshiped by the ancient ancestors. It takes careful observation and connection to see the appearance of a spider from those few strokes.

Sawada Ya was standing in front of the totem at this time, raised his hand, and lightly tapped on the stone tablet like knocking on the door.

The people inside were unresponsive, probably still asleep.

Little Lolita thought for a while, then took out the ring hanging on her chest, lightly touched the gemstone in the center of the ring with her fingertips, and wiped out a flame.Then she lit the flame on the stone tablet, and slowly traced the spider along the veins of the totem.

The spider totem glowed with a faint golden light, and immediately, it seemed that the entire shrine and the mountain were gradually waking up, and the people on the mountain felt that a certain existence had descended at the same time.

Sawada Ya put down her ring, looked at the totem pole and tilted her head, "."

As soon as the words were finished, a piece of black clothes drooped down, passing her vision like a feather blown by the wind.She looked up and finally saw a person sitting on the totem pole at some point.

"Yo." Dameng just woke up, propping his chin with one hand and raising his hand lazily to say hello, his black eyelashes were half drooping, as if he still had the sleepiness of just waking up.The eyelashes, which were as light as butterfly wings, opened and closed up and down, and the eyeballs hidden under them quickly woke up. The man raised the corners of his lips, bent down, and touched the little loli's eyebrows with his pale fingertips. She staggered.

"Long time no see, you, you won't come to me until I call you, right?"

"No, I'm the one who took the initiative to come and see you this time." Ze Tianya covered his forehead and looked at him puffed up, "And you haven't woken up all this time, I can't feel it, even if I come here, I can only see you sleep."

"The most important thing is your heart, do you understand?" The man put his hands on his knees, looked down from his eyelashes and looked down at her, wondering if he just woke up, his voice was lazily and somewhat magnetically hoarse.

Sawada Ya: "...It's not my fault that you didn't feel my heart."

She laughed angrily.

The big monster jumped off the totem pole, squatted in front of her, stretched out his hand and squeezed the little Lolita's face, "I haven't seen you for a year, and you have become so smart? Who taught you?"

Loli Zetian's bulging face immediately looked like a steamed bun, she held his hand and said vaguely, "I will grow up too."

The Mare ring on her chest emitted a soft light, enclosing the two of them.After the little Lolita pulled him away, she raised her head and stared at him with wide eyes, "Hurry up and get down to business, you won't be awake for long."

The soil spider smiled lowly, turned her hand over, and tapped her fingertips on the back of her hand, "Okay, I was just about to tell you, I need your help..."

Outside the shrine, Hattori, Conan and a few soil spiders were waiting outside Shimenawa.Lord Chiwang was not there, and was dragged by the lively Naruto to the forest led by Natsume—both monsters and humans were relieved by this, and only the two famous detectives who followed out of curiosity were present And Tsunayoshi Sawada who accompanied his sister.

The nearby forest was so quiet that not even a bird chirping could be heard.I don't know if it's because all the shrines have a solemn atmosphere, and the others are affected by this atmosphere, and they unconsciously keep quiet.

Zetian Tsunayoshi looked in the direction of the shrine, moved his toes on the ground, and was a little embarrassed by the silent atmosphere, when he suddenly heard a clear and clear child's voice and asked, "Saeki-kun, I forgot to ask just now You said before that you are setting up a barrier, and the fields outside seem to have been abandoned for a long time. At that time, you didn’t know His Excellency the Red King was coming, did you? Did you encounter any enemies?”

"Ah, that's right, but it's not an enemy." Saeki, who accompanied them, lowered his head to look at the young boy who was talking, "Some time ago, a foreigner suddenly came to our clan."

"Foreigner? Exorcist?"

"That's not true. It's actually a monster, or a half-demon who calls himself an earth spider."

Zuobo showed a distressed expression, "He seems to think that he is in the same clan as us, and he wants to persuade us to participate in some kind of plan. But people in the clan don't like contact with the outside world, and the patriarch has also explained that the clan members are in his Don't go out before waking up, and don't meddle in outside affairs, so the second uncle immediately rejected him after he made that proposal. But the half-demon didn't seem to give up, and after that, there were often some strange shadows wandering outside the clan. In addition, the patriarch suddenly woke up once in the middle, and we always felt that something happened, so we simply closed the clan land according to the method Master Qingming taught us back then."

Hattori Heiji suddenly realized, "No wonder my sister suddenly asked us if we remembered Seimei's study, so did the barrier outside also transfer the space? If you walk along that road, you will come to the forest where the space is misplaced." inside?"

"Yes, if you don't know the correct way, you can't open the door. Um, or like the red king, if you have such a powerful force that you can burn through the space in one fell swoop, then you can come in."

Conan asked, "What's the matter with the half-demon you mentioned and the plan he said?"

Zuobo scratched the back of his head, "I'm not sure about this. He talked to the second uncle at the beginning. As for the half-demon, we can all see that he was transformed from a human being, but it's not complete yet, so It's half monster half human form."

The young man sighed, vicissitudes that didn't fit his age suddenly appeared on his face, and he said to himself as if he was extremely puzzled, "This world is already so good, there is no war, and there is no pressure on the top of the head to force people to live. In this world, why do people take the initiative to transform into monsters?"

Their Guoqi clan was forced to become a monster at the beginning, and many of them killed themselves because they couldn't accept their status as monsters. How long have they lived in the dark underground?It wasn't until he met Abe Seimei that he was finally able to live in the sun as a human being.As much as the Guoqi family cherishes the life they can breathe freely in the sun, they can't understand the person who chose to become a monster.

So even though they were all earth spiders, they never felt that that person was of the same race as them.

Conan was silent for a moment, and said softly, "I can't understand his thoughts, but I have to admit that there will be similar people in every era."

He was already clear and transparent enough, and after experiencing so many things, he already had a full understanding of the darkness in human nature.The monsters born in people's hearts sometimes have nothing to do with the world. As long as there are human beings, there will always be soil for the birth of monsters.

Sometimes the human world overlaps with the abyss. Some monsters in the abyss, looking at the people around them, can't help stretching out their hands to pull them down together.

The black-haired boy raised his head and looked at the little girl who had come out of the shrine after the communication, "Saeki-kun, I have a guess, and I may need your help to verify it later."
