Mr. Natsume's special mantra

Natsume Takashi's pupils dilated slightly, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the little fox: "Little fox, can you take me there?"

"Yes." The little fox's voice hesitated, "but..."

The young man has not yet recovered and his body is not suitable for such a long journey.

The gathering place looked very close, but it was actually a long way from the Huamao House.

"Please." Natsume Takashi clasped his hands together.

Looking at the determined young man in front of him, the little fox looked at the elder Gu Huo next to him in confusion.

Gu Huo sighed and asked, "Natsume, can you tell me the reason?"

"Black." Natsume Takashi organized his words and said, "That place is filled with the same black mist as yesterday."

Hearing the young man's description, Gu Huo also frowned. In the end, she said helplessly, "It's only allowed this time."

"Yeah." A smile appeared on the young man's pale face: "Thank you."

Agree to his capricious request.

The little fox didn't speak, just quietly looked at the dark night outside, just when Takashi Natsume thought that the little fox was dissatisfied with his decision, the little fox suddenly laughed.

His shiny eyes, which were slightly shallower than the boy's, looked at the boy with an inexplicable light.

"Natsume." The little fox said, "I'll take you there. Humans are not as fast as monsters."

The boy passed by sitting on the prototype of the little fox.

Just like the little fox said, the speed of the monster is very fast.

After a while, they arrived at the gathering place of scattered monsters.

But as soon as they landed, the three of them were surrounded by monsters.

"What kind of monsters are you? What are you doing here?!" The voices of the monsters were sharp and harsh, and their expressions were full of fear.

Gu Huo stepped forward and said, "We heard that this place is blessed by a powerful god, so we want to visit here."

"We don't have gods here." A snake-bodied monster replied.

Other monsters were faintly surrounding him, and it was obvious that this monster was the existence similar to the leader.

"We have no malicious intentions." Natsume Takashi added.

The snake monster shook its head, its vertical pupils were full of vigilance and vigilance: "Leave quickly, or don't blame us for being rude."

Seeing this, the little fox turned into a human and stood beside Natsume Takashi: "Snake, do you still remember me?"

The snake monster was stunned for a moment: "Little fox?"

The little fox nodded, and went straight to the point: "Snake, is there something wrong with the shrine, or something wrong with you?"

Seeing the familiar monster, Ling Snake sighed, put away his vigilant gaze, and replied: "It should be said that it has both."

He waved his hand, signaling the monsters around him to go back first.Then he slid to Natsume Takashi and his group.

"Can you tell us about the situation in detail?" The young man asked in a soft voice, "I am Takashi Natsume, and this is my aunt."

"Just call me Guhuo." Guhuo replied.

Ling Snake nodded, and while leading the way with Natsume Takashi and the others, he said, "I'm sorry about the incident just now. Due to some things recently, everyone in the gathering place has been a little too nervous."

Gu Huo: "It doesn't look like a small problem."

Ling Snake sighed: "Yes. About a month or two ago, one or two old monsters in the gathering place would disappear inexplicably. At first, we just thought that the lifespan of those monsters had come to an end, but This is not the case, the shrine that protected us was corrupted by a curse at some point, and the god we worship has long since disappeared.”

Natsume Takashi heard some loopholes in it, and asked, "Is the shrine related to the lifespan of youkai?"

"It's related." The snake looked at the shrine that was eroded by the curse in pain, and replied: "The power of the gods comes more from belief, but belief is illusory, and no monster can guarantee that all the monsters in the gathering place will We all absolutely believe in this god who protects us."

"So, every monster who wants to live in the gathering place will be required to hand over part of his soul to the gods."

This is guaranteed.

It is a guarantee to the gods!

For the soul, they will absolutely believe in this god.

And with a god of faith, he can also protect his believers with stronger power.

This sounds like an overbearing confinement, but in their eyes, it is the best solution.

But, now, the balance is broken.

The gods that implicated the souls of all the monsters in the gathering place were infected by the curse, which led to the accelerated death of the monsters in the gathering place.

If the gods are not found to break the curse, more and more monsters will disappear in the gathering place, eventually forming an endless loop, which will lead to the extinction of both monsters and gods.

Gu Huo frowned: "Why didn't you tell my family about this situation earlier."

There was anger in the banshee's voice, why didn't she report such a serious situation to the head of the Nuliang group!

Could it be that in their eyes, the family is so untrustworthy?

As a friend of Nuliang Yupiao, watching the Nuliang group grow up to this day, she can say without shame that the Nuliang group is most responsible for the monsters under the opponent.

Ling Snake lowered her head in shame: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

"It is indeed your fault." Gu Huo admitted mercilessly: "Just last night, a god corrupted by a curse attacked the head of the Nuliang Group. Do you know what this means?"

This means that it is no accident that the gods are cursed, but that there are external forces who want to subvert the order of the monster world!

If they had reported to the main family at the very beginning, Yinura's slippery character would definitely strengthen the protection of the shrine.

Instead of falling into such a passive situation now.

How many shrines, how many gods there are, are unknowingly eroded by the curse.

As long as he thought of that scene, Gu Huo felt that there was nowhere to vent his anger.

idiot!

The cursing was suppressed by Gu Huo in his throat.

Aware of the violent fluctuations in Guhuo's mood, Natsume Takashi patted Guhuo's shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

The young man looked at the struggling snake with his head hanging down, and said, "Can I go in and have a look?"

"Of course you can." Ling Snake replied.

However, before stepping into the torii gate, the boy stopped in his tracks.

"Did you see something?" Gu Huo also stopped, and followed the boy's eyes to see the pillars of the torii gate.

Natsume Takashi nodded, and walked silently to the foot of the torii gate, where a black mist-like thing remained there, spreading along the stone steps.

The boy's eyes gradually sank, and his face became more and more indifferent.

He covered his mouth and coughed twice, dragging his weak body in need of rest towards the trail he saw.

Feathered Snake followed them silently.

Up to now, he also understands that among the three, the one who plays the leading role is the sick looking young man.

He didn't take the young man seriously at first, but now it seems that the young man in front of him is the key to solving their problems.

Finally, they stopped in front of the Temizuya of the shrine.

Xia Mu looked at the dark pool with thick black air in front of him, frowned and said: "Someone has moved here."

The feathered snake was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to look at the pool.

Clear and clean water gurgled and swayed inside.

In the end, he looked at the boy shyly, wanting to find an answer.

Natsume Takashi stretched out his hand, took a little water with a small water ladle placed aside, and said, "In my eyes, even such a small amount of water is spreading with thick black mist, which is what you call curse."

Feathered Snake's expression was disastrous, and he asked with trembling hands, "My lord, will this water be corroded by the curse if it touches even a little?"

The young man shook his head, and just as the snake was about to let go, he heard the next sentence from the young man: "I don't know."

"I don't have a deep understanding of the curse, so I can't judge its harmfulness. But like you said, this kind of curse is very likely to be eroded if it is contaminated."

Ling Snake collapsed to the ground, covering his face with his hands and crying out in pain.

He was wrong.

He was really wrong.

The shrine is a place where monsters in the gathering place love to come when they have nothing to do.

If there is a problem with the water house that must be passed by, he can no longer imagine the consequences.

When they were silent, the little fox suddenly said: "Didn't you say that the pollution of the shrine started a month or two ago?"

He pointed to the pool and said, "The water in the water house should be running water, but now that the gods have left, why is there such a serious curse on the water in the water house?"

Feathered Snake raised his head: "What do you mean?"

"The murderer should have never left. This place should be the focus of his plan, so he has been guarding this Tesui House," Gu Huo calmed down his anger at this time, and calmly analyzed.

"What the little fox told my aunt was right." Natsume Takashi put down the water ladle in his hand and carefully observed the shrine in front of him.

Something still feels wrong, but what exactly?

"Snake... you are here." The old voice suddenly reached the ears of the group.

Looking along the position of the sound, a hunched grandfather came into their eyes.

Ling Snake hurried up to meet it, and asked respectfully, "Why did you come out?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and introduced to Natsume and the others: "This is the person in charge of the shrine - Faceless, one of the few monsters in the gathering place that can completely disguise human form, and he has a deep understanding of human beings, because the shrine is inevitable. Will welcome some humans, so everyone votes for him to help run the shrine."

"The operation of the shrine in these years is thanks to him." Ling Snake's voice was full of gratitude.

Faceless grasped Ling Snake's hand guiltily and said, "Stop talking...if it wasn't for me..."

"It's not your reason!" Ling Snake said hurriedly, comforting the guilt-ridden old demon in front of him.

Logically speaking, this should be a very heartwarming side, but...

Natsume Takashi's face turned colder and colder.

that monster.

unforgivable...
