1 Ukiyo-e Town is not too far away, Xia You got up early the next morning, explained the situation to Natsume Takashi, then took a taxi and drove towards the designated place.

Madara was worried, and when Toko was not paying attention, he also left the cats and dogs at home and slipped into the taxi, lingering in Natsume Takashi's arms.

The car drove unhurriedly on the street, and the scenery passing by outside the window gradually changed from high-rise buildings to trees and low houses.

Ukiyo-e Town has a high green rate. It is less modern than Youeda Town and other places, but more quaint. The nearby scenery is also true to its name, with many old-fashioned buildings.

The closer to the Nuliang group, the more Xia You can deeply feel the charm of this monster organization that has been passed down for hundreds of years.Although it is not as magnificent as when I first saw the ghost town of Dajiangshan, it has a unique atmosphere of a family, leisurely hidden in the noisy city.

Unexpectedly, the guy who fought hard with Ibaraki at the beginning, started from scratch with his own strength, and developed the Nuliang group, which was inconspicuous at the beginning, to this point.

No wonder he dared to say in front of Ibaraki that he was going to become the lord of demons and monsters. In some respects, Nuliang Huapiao did have this ability.

It's just that I don't know what the monster who arrogantly intercepted her back then is like now.

However, after counting, more than 1000 years have passed since now, and Nuliang Huapiao's grandson is so old, it is estimated that she no longer remembers her who only met a few times.

The evil spirit here is mixed and thick, worried that Natsume Takashi would feel uncomfortable, Xia You gave him a decoction to remove miasma in advance, so as not to feel oppressed and heavy and unable to move.

"Is the leader of the monsters of the Nuliang group... the legendary cunning ghost?" On the way, Natsume Takashi looked curious, obviously he had heard the name of this big monster in the legend.

"He is the first generation leader of the Nuliang group, and the current general is his grandson."

Madara was held in Natsume Takashi's arms, her dark eyes kept turning around and looking around, "During the Warring States Period, the Nuliang group was the strongest monster force in Kyoto, and it could compete with one Yes, maybe only the descendants of the Douya Queen from the Western Kingdom."

"Mr. Cat is very clear about these things?"

"Hmm... Honmahara-sama was probably born around that time!"

"It turns out that you are such an old man!" Xia You curled her lips and said him with disdain on purpose, deliberately making the dull atmosphere a little easier.

"Hmph, you're only over 400 years old, young and handsome?"

Natsume Takashi smiled slightly, apparently enjoying watching them bicker.

"Does Teacher Cat know what happened to the Dajiangshan group?" Xia You asked him curiously as if thinking of something.

Madara knew what she was thinking, licked her lips with her little tongue, and said in a soft voice: "I'm not sure about this. Since the Warring States Period, the Oeyama Group has been the largest monster force near Kyoto."

"However, since the incident of 'Jiu Tun-douji retreat', Dajiangshan has been affected to some extent, and the rise of the nearby Tengu clan has a faint tendency to resist it."

"The two monsters have lived in peace for hundreds of years, but they disappeared afterwards. I heard that the Tengu clan moved to the Nachi Mountain area in Osaka, and the Oeyama Group moved towards Hokkaido."

"But there are also monsters who say that Shuten-douji felt bored during his many years of recuperating in the human world, and his love life was not going well. In the end, he simply took his cronies to live in the hell of the underworld. They lived on the other side for a long time, and sometimes appeared on this side. The monsters of later generations will not be able to recognize it."

They were originally ghosts from the underworld, and they always acted willfully and recklessly. Naturally, they went wherever they wanted.Even so, many glorious achievements in the past are still passed down among the monsters by word of mouth.

"Of course, this is all from my hearsay. I only know that after these two monster forces have moved away, the Kyoto area will become the Nuragumi's world."

There are two black forces, one is arrogant and unreasonable, and the other is black-bellied and difficult to deal with.

After they all left, it gave a chance for third-party forces to develop. In just 20 years, the Nuliang Group quickly grew in Kyoto. Since then, it has been difficult for nearby monster forces to compete with it, and it has continued to this day.

"So this is ah……"

Natsume Takashi nodded knowingly, it seems that no one knows where the big monsters who once dominated the world have gone.

The two of them, Fa Mao, chatted without saying a word, and soon arrived at the mansion of the Nuragumi, and were led towards the mansion by the monsters of the Nuragumi who had already received the order.

The person who received Xia You and the others was a cute girl from the Zhenniao group, wearing brightly colored and unique style dresses, which made Xia You inadvertently think of the two idiot Zhenniao brothers who arrested her before.

For some reason, she suddenly wanted to throw a handful of rice at this girl...

Nuliang Lusheng had already been waiting for them in the room. When he saw Xia You and his party, his eyes lit up immediately, and he warmly welcomed them to their seats.

Compared with Ye Lusheng, who has a more sinister and cold face, Xia You thinks that the brown-haired human, Day Lusheng, is more approachable, and getting along with him is just like talking with classmates around him.

"Grandpa knows that you are coming, and has already made preparations." Lu Sheng poured them a few glasses of fruit drinks, looked at Ji Chuan Bingli and said, "As for your brother's illness, we will not be able to confirm until Grandpa has personally seen the doctor." , let Bingli take your brother to grandpa's place first, Xia You, just wait here patiently for a while."

Natsume Takashi heard the words, stood up and bowed: "It's the first time we meet, please trouble you because of me."

"Don't be so polite, grandpa said he should..." Lu Sheng waved his hand politely, choked on his words, and then changed his words, "Xia You and I are friends, and grandpa said that friends are in trouble to help We deserve it, and we are glad we were able to help."

After thanking and exchanging a few greetings back and forth, Natsume Takashi put Madara beside Xia You, and followed Yuki Nv Bingli towards Nuliang.

The cherry blossoms are flying outside the courtyard, and the sun is warm. Only in the territory of monsters can one see such a gorgeous scene in September and autumn.

"Don't be nervous, since my grandmother's ancestors can cure this disease, Natsume will be fine."

Xia You nodded, showed him a grateful smile, lowered her head and sighed: "I was almost desperate at that time yesterday, fortunately there is you..."

Right now, the monsters of the Nuliang Group are the only and most important hope. I only hope that Takashi Natsume will recover soon.

Lu Sheng smiled brightly, and chatted about other things to comfort the man and demon in front of him.

After talking happily for a long time, Xia You gradually felt a familiar evil spirit approaching here.

She immediately recognized that this evil spirit belonged to Nuliang Huapiao, but compared to when he kidnapped her halfway, this evil spirit seemed much weaker?

It seems that monsters will also grow old...

I don't know what the old Nuliang Yupiao looks like now that more than 1000 years have passed.

Xia You recalled that Ye Lu was born in a demonized state, his appearance was [-]% similar to that of the slippery ghost back then.

"My grandpa is here." Lu Sheng obviously noticed the evil spirit, and the three of them looked towards the door.

Soon, a small figure of an old man appeared at the door, Xia You couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he looked at the old man with an old face and a short stature.

She understands that monsters will also look old, but who will tell her that there is no hair on the back of Nuliang Huapiao's head that looks like a mallet?

There are at least a few hairs in the Mediterranean, which is not even the Mediterranean!

Recalling the domineering declaration that she was going to take her back to be the evil, charming and crazy monster who pissed off Mrs. Ibaraki, Xia You suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh.

She thinks that Nu Liang Hua Piao should be renamed Nu Liang Tu Piao, which is more appropriate...

Wait, she is thinking about something, now is not the time to think about these messy things.

Even though he is old, the monster's hearing is still very strong, and Nuliang Huapiao can hear Xia You and Lu Sheng talking from a distance.

When stepping into the door, the girl's familiar face comes into her eyes, followed by the nostalgia for the glorious past that will never come back.

Even if he was reincarnated, his voice and appearance didn't seem to have changed much. Even his temperament and eyes looked exactly the same, including the breath on his body, which was familiar with a sense of strangeness.

The days of my youth are so nostalgic...

"Grandpa, have you finished seeing the doctor?"

Xia You immediately stood up and greeted him politely, "Grandpa, it's the first time we meet. I'm Xia You Fujiwara, please give me your advice."

Madara also jumped up and greeted her gracefully.

"Well... I know, Lu Sheng's friend, right?" Nu Liang Hua Piao hid the look of nostalgia in her eyes, and slowly sat down in front of the coffee table.

"Have you finished seeing the doctor? May I ask what's going on with my brother?" Xia You asked impatiently, with an expression of nervousness that couldn't be concealed.

Nuliang Huapiao saw her fear, raised her eyes and said kindly: "I don't know how to worry, your brother's illness can be cured."

"Great! Thank you very much, thank you very much!"

"Hey... don't be in a hurry to give thanks, there is a way to cure it, but it's quite tricky to implement." Nuliang Huapiao took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I just detected your brother's spiritual power, Now he has fallen asleep, Bingli is watching over him, you don't have to worry."

"Now, let me tell you about Natsume's child's illness in detail."

Xia You nodded and listened carefully.

"Your brother's disease is exactly the same as my wife's grandmother. The cause of this disease is still unknown, but after generations of my wife's painstaking efforts, a cure for the disease has finally been developed."

"The human body is like a sealed container, and the spiritual power is like the water in the container. When the water condenses and regenerates to a certain extent, the human body cannot hold it, and it will be destroyed. The spiritual power soars to the point that the body cannot bear it, which leads to Proximate cause of death."

"Your brother is born with strong spiritual power, but weak constitution. I guess, his ancestors should have been combined with ordinary human beings to give birth to offspring."

Xia You nodded.

"That's right." Nuliang Huapiao knocked on the table with his fan bone, "The offspring left by the combination of a person with strong spiritual power and ordinary human beings can hardly inherit their talents perfectly. Or give birth to children with ordinary humans, and most of these children are not as powerful as their parents."

"The problem with your brother is that he inherited a strong spiritual power from one side, but he didn't have a strong enough body from the other side."

"Abe Seimei, who is often mentioned in your history class, must be familiar to you?" Nuliang Huapiao patiently explained, "He is also an onmyoji born with powerful spiritual power, but his father is a powerful onmyoji, His mother is a white fox, so he was born with strong physical fitness, and he will not have the problems of your brother."

Xia You nodded thoughtfully, frowned and said, "I understand what you mean. You mean that as long as my brother is strong enough to control the spiritual power, nothing will happen, right?"

"Ah."

"Then... can Natsume improve his ability to control spiritual power through practice?" Lu Sheng also raised his opinion.

Madara shook his short tail, "If this helps his condition, there are some friends from a family of onmyoji around him who can teach him."

"No way." Nuliang Huapiao shook his head, "Cultivation is a way for human beings to enhance their spiritual power, and this will actually make his power stronger and more difficult to control."

"Then... what should I do?"

Nuliang Huapiao raised his hand, and soon a piece of paper floated slowly over the bookshelf, and with the sliding of his fingertips, the ink was smudged on it little by little.

"So we have to do the opposite and suppress the spiritual power in that child's body."

"When I talked with him just now, I already learned that you asked him to make a decoction that harmonizes spiritual power, but that's not enough. I'll write a prescription for you. When you go back, you ask him to combine these two kinds of medicine. Medicines are taken at the same time."

The paper was densely filled with words, and then Nuliang handed the paper to her.

Xia You stared at the writing on the paper, and slowly frowned, "These herbs..."

The words of some herbs are very familiar, and Huang once explained them to her, and she has picked a lot, but she has never heard of the names of more herbs.

"You must have never heard of these medicinal herbs, right?" Nuliang Huapiao chuckled, with a bit of a smile in his words, "It is naturally difficult to find these medicinal herbs in the human world. If you have never heard of them, you can't find them either." It's normal."

"Little girl, do you want these herbs?"

"Uh..." Xia You choked, and looked at Nuliang Huapiao with a little vigilance, always feeling that this guy's smiling face had malicious intentions.

"Grandpa, don't tease her, Xia You is very worried about her brother." Lu Sheng said helplessly.

The vigilant little eyes were exactly the same as hers.

Nuliang Huapiao chuckled, "The Nuliang Group has some of these herbs, but they are very precious, and there is not much left. It is not impossible for you to want it, but... little girl, I see that you have an extraordinary figure , the skeleton is strange, do you want to consider being the third wife of my Nuliang group?"

As soon as the words came out, Lu Sheng almost spit out the juice in his mouth.

"grandfather!"

"As long as you agree, then we are our own family. Since we are our own family, you can take these things as you like, no matter how precious they are."

Madara shook her cat's whiskers, and said in a low voice: "This matter is very difficult... Our child has already fallen in love with another boy, so why should we cheat now? At least wait until she breaks up first Shall we discuss this again?"

That's not the point, is it?This fat cat, just sold her because of Natsume Takashi's illness?

"You're right, it's not moral, so I can give young people some time to resolve their emotional disputes." Nuliang Huapiao said very openly and generously, feeling happy in his heart.

Xia You was kidnapped by a few herbs, and Ibaraki would be so angry when he found out.

"..." Xia You twitched the corners of her mouth. Fortunately, she didn't bring Ibaraki with her today, otherwise, there might be a big scene of Ibaraki making trouble in the Nuliang Group.

"Grandpa!" Lu Sheng almost gritted his teeth and popped the word out of his mouth, his demonic power fluctuated, and under the excitement, he instantly demonized into Ye Lusheng's appearance.

"Cough... Xia You, don't listen to my grandfather's nonsense, he is joking with you." The young man with white hair and red pupils explained anxiously, with a rare blush on his cheeks, he didn't know whether it was from anger or shame .

Lu Sheng looked at her and said seriously: "I read this prescription, and the medicine on it will take a long time to drink. Our Nuliang team is not a monster dedicated to healing with herbs, and that amount is not enough. To cure your brother's illness, what else is there for you?" You need to find monsters from other organizations."

Nuliang Huapiao pursed her lips, "I'm not kidding, isn't it always shown on TV?"

"..."

This monster is still so unruly even when he is old.

After teasing the two children, Nuliang Huapiao's expression turned serious, and he finally got back to business, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"Lu Sheng is right. The medicinal materials in the hands of the Nuliang group are all dry goods, and the medicinal power has been lost a lot. If you need fresh medicinal materials, you need to find others."

"Grandpa please advise." Xia You said respectfully.

"I don't need to give pointers or not. I heard Lu Sheng said that the monster who is entangled with you now... um... is from the Dajiangshan group?" Nuliang Huapiao said with downcast eyes, obviously still He feels a little resentful towards Ibaraki, and calls a legitimate relationship an entanglement.

"That's right."

"That's it, you go back and ask him, he will solve all the problems."

Facing Xia You's extremely puzzled eyes, Nuliang Huapiao couldn't help explaining patiently again: "Thousands of years ago, there was a monster called 'Earth God' in the Dajiangshan Formation, who was best at growing rare and rare herbs, and he planted them in Dajiangshan. A medicine field was planted."

"Although so many years have passed, and those guys from the Dajiangshan Group don't know where they've gone, but the Earth God has a child named 'Di Nian'er' who is still in charge of the medicine field left by his father."

"I think, he can't even find the descendants of his subordinates, can he?"

Xia You nodded hesitantly, why has she never heard of a monster named 'Earth God' in Dajiang Mountain?

And Dajiangshan only has a sea of ​​flowers, where did the medicine field come from...

Although full of doubts, she nodded and said: "Okay, thank you for your guidance, senior, I will take note of it."

After putting away the prescription, Xia You breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed look on his face.

Unexpectedly, Nuliang Huapiao continued: "If you keep drinking these medicines, your condition can be suppressed, at least your brother will not die young at a young age."

The smile on Xia You's face froze, "What do you mean, senior? Can't it be cured?"

"Silly girl, have you forgotten what I just explained to you?" Nuliang Huapiao sighed softly, "Your brother's physique is the most fundamental problem. To cure this disease, you must fundamentally change it." His system, but how can this be something that can be done casually?"

"...Then, what about your wife and the others..."

"Yingji's clansmen also had a lucky encounter. If you want to cure your brother's illness, you must find something more precious."

Nuliang Huapiao recounted the past, "Once upon a time, there was a place called Honglian Penglai Island in the eastern sea, where many half-demon children lived. They planted a kind of Penglai fairy fruit, which has the magical power of enhancing human physique. effect."

"My wife's tribe broke into it by accident at sea and picked Penglai fruit. They just supplemented with soup and medicine to solve the disease. But let's not say that this island only appears once in 50 years. The most important thing is that since the Warring States Period. , the island seems to have never appeared again."

Madara suddenly raised his head, squinted his eyes and said, "Penglai Island? I have also heard the name of this island. I heard that there were four monsters called Four Gods doing evil on the island. My son fought with those guys on it, and the final result is that the island never appeared again."

"That's right, so you also know how difficult it is to find that fruit." Nuliang Huapiao sighed.

Xia You clenched her fist tightly.

This is not enough, just to alleviate the disease is not enough.

She wants Natsume Takashi to live happily as a normal person, to form a family of her own, and to prevent future generations from being entangled and distressed by this strange disease.

Otherwise, with Natsume Takashi's personality, he would definitely choose to be celibate instead of causing pain to others.

But a gentle person like him shouldn't be shackled by the shackles of loneliness!

Xia You pursed her lips, and looked at Nuliang Huapiao suddenly, "Senior, do you know if there is anything else that can replace Penglai fruit?"

"Yes, there are... but it's not easy to find..." Nuliang Huapiao sighed, and frowned, "For example, mermaid bones also have the same effect, and the effect is not worse than that of Penglai fruit."

"That's right, it's the kind of mermaid that can make people live forever after eating meat. Its bones also have the same effect, but they are also extremely rare and precious."

"When I was young, I once won a mermaid bone from a defeated general, but... I gave that mermaid bone to someone else later." With a glance, it seemed as if he was looking at others through her.

Hearing this, Xia You's mood suddenly became depressed again.

Seeing her like this, Lu Sheng couldn't bear it, he coughed lightly, and comforted him in a deep voice: "Although it's hard to find, at least it's much more reliable than that Penglai fruit."

"Although mermaid bones are rare in the world, they are not hard to find. If you put in a lot of effort, you might be able to find them. What's more, with the medicinal herbs, your brother's illness can be relieved, so you still have a lot of time to find mermaids." bone, isn't it?"

The authorities are obsessed, and concern is chaotic. Xia You slowly relaxed her brows, and smiled at him gratefully, "That's right...Thank you, I'm so confused."

"If I have any news about the mermaid bone, I will inform you as soon as possible." Lu Sheng's mouth curled up into a slight arc, and he quietly lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in his hand.

Nuliang Huapiao looked at Xia You, then at Lu Sheng, and shook his head regretfully.

Tsk tsk, what a pity, it's one step too late, it looks like my daughter-in-law is going to fly...

Xia You quickly calmed down. Since there are mermaid bones that can replace Penglai fruit, there must be other things that can replace mermaid bones.

Nuliang Huabao didn't understand the principles of medicine, she thought Nadeshiko and Huang should know more about this kind of news.

No matter what, she must follow this thread to grasp hope.

"Thank you senior today, Xia You is very grateful."

Seeing that the old slippery ghost is so kind and kind, Xia You no longer cares about his kidnapping of her back then.

She swears that if she sees the younger version of Nuliang Huapiao next time, she will give him several bottles of Bawang anti-hair loss shampoo!

Natsume Takashi gradually woke up after two hours of deep sleep. In order not to worry him, Xia You and Madara concealed the matter of the mermaid bone knowingly, and comforted her that she had found a cure for her terminal illness.

As expected, his mood was greatly encouraged, and the melancholy on his brows also dissipated a lot, "I will definitely take the medicine obediently, no matter how hard it is, I won't be afraid!"

Looking at Natsume Takashi's smiling face as before, Madara gave him a deep look, then curled up and hugged him tightly in his arms.

Xia You also smiled softly, with a lot of relief on her face, but the pressure in her heart did not disappear for a bit.

After Xia You thanked Lu Sheng with some dried herbs, he left the Nuliang Group with Madara and others.

*****

"Grandpa, who did you give the mermaid bone to?" Afterwards, Lu Sheng couldn't help asking Nuliang Huapiao.

A trace of curiosity flashed in his red pupils, who is such a precious thing as a mermaid bone, who can be given to him by Nuliang Hualao?

"That thing..." Nuliang Huapiao paused slightly, and continued, "I gave it to Xia You."

The Xia You in his mouth refers to that woman, Lu Sheng understands it.

"Back then... on a dark day of the year, there was great turmoil in the capital. I almost lost my life at that time. It was she who saved me."

"However, one of her very important witch girlfriends also suffered a catastrophe. At that time, the other party was punished by God not long after giving birth to twins. Thanks to someone to protect her, she survived, but she was also dying."

"For the sake of saving lives, I gave her the mermaid bone. I think she should use the mermaid bone to save the witch."

Otherwise, how could the human woman survive?

"It turns out that there are such things... Then what happened during the Great Dark Day?"

Nuliang Huapiao looked far away, walked slowly with Lu Sheng towards the outside of the courtyard, his voice became smaller and smaller,

"Back then, Kyoto..."
