It's Auntie Benmaru!

#36

The long wait under the heavy rain was a bit embarrassing.

"Obviously I watched the sky last night, but I didn't say it would rain today."

"My God, the rain will spoil my meat..."

"The cloth I just took out to dry..."

All around are small vendors who are busy putting away their goods, and their complaints are in my ears.

Tianqing and Onikiri stood under the eaves. It was certain that the rain was not ordinary, but thinking about the current situation carefully, it was also a bit of a fluke.

After all, according to her cognition, there should be no ghosts in the afternoon. Ghosts are afraid of the existence of the sun, no... no, can't it be done by using rain clouds?

The dark rain clouds covering the sky over Ping'an City just happened to block out all the sunlight!

With an idea, she pulled up Onikiri's sleeves, and pulled Onikiri, who was in a daze, to a flat place where many children played in Ping'an City - this place was discovered two days ago when she and Yuanhui went out.

It seems to be in front of the mansion of a certain nobleman. There are many uneven positions on a large open space, forming puddles reflecting the sky.

A few older and younger children didn't have to set up a stall for the family because of the rain, so they got together to play in the same open space.

"That's great, you don't have to help with work when it rains!"

"Yes, if it rains for a little longer... I won't have to water my fields tomorrow!"

"What are we playing now?"

"Let's dive into the puddles!"

Several children chatted and proposed a new game, but an older child suddenly appeared and said, "No! No jumping into puddles!"

The other children looked at the boy, blinking their innocent eyes: "Why?"

The older child frowned: "Because I saw a child jumping into a puddle here before, and he was taken away when he jumped into the third puddle!"

"You're talking about this kind of scary story again, I know...it's the rumor that 'you'll be taken away if you jump into the third puddle'!" The young girl in kimono clasped her hands: "Mom said That's all for lying to children, stop lying, liar!"

After the child took the lead in saying a few liars, he dragged the other friends away.

Suddenly, there was only one child left in the huge open space. Tianqing knew that she was mistaken, so she slowly approached the child: "May I ask what the rumor you said just now... what is it about?"

……

——Among the seven puddles formed in front of Mr. Takahashi’s mansion in Heian City on a rainy day, once you jump into the third puddle, you have a chance to be taken away by the water ghost.

After the child told her the rumor, he left in a hurry.

Tianqing and Onikiri walked out from under the eaves, looking at the surroundings of the mansion.

"It's true that it's rather dark here, and there are two tall buildings next to it. The part of the front door is really not easy to be illuminated by the sun, and there is a smell of monsters here."

I don't know when it started to drizzle again, but she was already drenched, and now it's not bad. Tianqing slowly approached the third puddle that the child mentioned, and then carefully squatted in the water. aside.

"It does have an unusual smell inside, and there are traces of enchantment techniques around."

Before her hand could touch the surroundings of the puddle, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist precisely, and Onikiri pulled her body back a little with a light tug. His serious voice came from above her head. Came: "The smell of blood."

After all, he had already pulled Tianqing up and behind him, and with a wave of his right hand, he summoned the usual ghost hand again. He lowered his chin slightly: "You stand behind me."

Tianqing looked at the back that suddenly protected her in astonishment, and before she could speak, the long-haired warrior suddenly withdrew her gaze and added something coldly, as if she was afraid that she might not speak clearly enough: "I Behind you is the safest place."

"Do you feel the killing intent? I still don't feel anything..."

Tianqing was still talking in a daze, but before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from all directions in this place, which was not like a human can make!

...!

Tianqing's breathing was stagnant, and her brain hadn't caught up with the changes. Suddenly, she saw a woman in gorgeous geisha clothes appearing directly in front of her. She was crawling on all fours, and stared at her the moment she saw her. Yuan's eyes rushed towards her fiercely like a beast!

The opponent's speed was too fast for Tianqing to keep up with a human. Fortunately, before she was caught by the ghost's claws, the warrior monster guarding her back turned around and hugged her directly into his arms. The right hand stretched out from behind her, and stuck the female ghost who was rushing over with the blade!

Under Onikiri's nimble movements, the two of them had already switched positions. He just slashed hard, and the female ghost's arm was cut off!

"Are you alright?"

Tianqing's flustered voice came from behind, Guiqie stared at the female ghost who had grown a new arm in front without blinking, glanced at the "Xiaer" written in her eyes, raised the corner of her mouth and responded: "It's okay , is much weaker than the Kamakura 'one'."

Unexpectedly, after one hand was cut off, the other party didn't panic, but pulled some distance away from Onikiri, and licked the cut of his hand: "Oh, did I win the big prize? Brother... I don't know if we can get them done." , Will Master Wu Mi let us challenge the winding?"

"A girl with black hair and brown eyes, and a three-sword style... a monster with giant ghost hands. I haven't seen it for a long time since the Kamakura period."

The female ghost carefully kept a distance from Hell Onikiri. In Tianqing's memory, she seemed to be the best-looking ghost—both in dress and appearance, she was quite close to a human.

If it is placed in the profile, it should be a very popular geisha.

Except for the two words "Xiaer" imprinted in her eyes.

It just rightly proved her inhuman status.

It's just that this is the most talkative ghost Tianqing has ever seen. Whether it is IQ or handling ability, she seems to be much more cautious than the ones she has seen before. .

There was a playful smile on that exquisite face, and she said in a charming tone: "The warrior monster over there is really good-looking, but the girl next to her is not very well dressed and looks...It is obviously Mr. Wu Mi I thought the person I was following would look a little better."

After hearing this, Tianqing put all the analysis and nervousness behind her, and said angrily behind Onikiri, "I'm not ugly! I'm not ugly! You talk to me well!"

It seemed that Onikiri saw Tianqing so angry for the first time. He looked back at Tianqing as if he was frightened, and didn't know what to say on this occasion. The female ghost's voice came again: "You It's ugly, but the monster next to you looks more and more handsome..."

Tianqing blushed, and this female ghost stared at Onikiri with such a messy and lewd gaze!And how ugly is she!She is the prettiest cub in the Shiratori family!

She immediately grabbed Onikiri's sleeve, and pointed at the female ghost over there with resentment: "You deny it! You deny it for me! Don't listen to it!"

Onikiri: "...what am I going to say?"

"Even if you don't praise me for being beautiful, you can also call her ugly! This is a tactic, and we can't lose the momentum on the outside!" She shook Onikiri's arm, and he looked at her helplessly, feeling uncomfortable Too good to keep up with the rhythm of this idiot onmyoji.

And the female ghost on the top also broke in with a bad character: "Look? He can't deny it. I, Luo Ji, is the most beautiful in the ghost world. Whether it's a human or a monster, my beauty will take your breath away." ?”

She caressed her cheek narcissistically, while Tianqing frowned, knowing that men were unreliable, so she put her hand into her sleeve to summon Rihefang out.

It's just that she didn't expect that she, who was angry on her head, was part of Luo Ji's calculations. When Luo Ji noticed her small movement of reaching out to touch her sleeve, she stared at her beautifully, and with a hook of her finger, something appeared from the dark and bit her. Tianqing's sleeve fell off—her entire sleeve containing the shikigami summoning talisman was torn.

"The clothes made by Zhishi!" Tianqing watched as the black shadow snatched her sleeves and pockets. Before she had time to catch up, the shadow jumped into the puddle in two steps.

While they were distracted to pay attention to the black shadow, Fallen Princess standing on the eaves had also disappeared.

All of a sudden, even the strong fishy smell in the air was gone, and Onikiri knew that it was Tianqing who put Shikigami in his pocket, and knew that this was a trick set by Luo Ji, so he asked her with a frown, "Chasing?"

The sky is very sunny: "Chasing!"

She stretched out her hand and wanted to touch the puddle, but Onikiri was more cautious than her, so she raised her hand and hugged the petite girl into her arms.

Tianqing looked at Onikiri in astonishment, his eyes were only calmly looking at the puddle that looked ordinary.

"Hold on to me, or I will be scattered after entering the enchantment."

He just gave a plain order, then hugged her, not allowing her to protest, and jumped into that alien space together.

thump--

The sound of water that should not have emerged from the shallow puddle sounded at the same time as the two leaped forward, and the biting cold water poured into the sleeves of Tianqing and Onikiri. Tianqing, who had never swum in her life, was terrified. Subconsciously grasping Onikiri's skirt, he didn't even dare to open his eyes.

It's just that the water in the puddle is /very/deep. Once they enter the water, there will be countless pressures pressing on the two of them like a hill. As they sink, the more oxygen they lack.

Onikiri had no choice but to pat Tianqing's body, and hugged her tightly in front of the water to calm her down.

She finally calmed down a bit, and then raised her hand with difficulty to use a circular protective formation that did not require reciting Yin-Yang mantras, protecting the two bodies submerged in the water with a blue protective shield.

"Haha...haha..."

Tianqing breathed heavily in the protective cover, spitting out a lot of water that she accidentally sucked into her mouth just now.

Standing beside her, Onikiri was much calmer than her, looking around with his wet clothes on——while the bubbles were gradually sinking, he found that there were indeed many children who had been taken away in the gap between this monster.

Many children were locked in the same air bubbles and froze in the water, all of them turned purple and fell asleep-it seems that the temperature here is too low, if they stay here for a long time, it will be considered that Onikiri and Tianqing are of good quality , Those children in thin clothes will definitely not last long.

Onikiri frowned slightly, and looked down at Tianqing: "Is the sinking direction right?"

Tianqing nodded in embarrassment when she heard the words, and pointed to a faint light in the depths of the water: "I feel that my shikigami is in that direction, no matter what, let's save everyone first."
