[Comprehensive] Winter Feast

There was no moon at night on this day, and the sky was covered with heavy clouds and was a dull leaden gray.

It was summer, and the trees with dense branches and leaves made a slight rustling sound, and the corner of the torii gate was exposed among the swaying trees.

Duh, duh, duh.

On the path leading to the torii gate on the top of the mountain, someone is walking on wooden clogs, as if the footsteps have been measured, and the interval between each step is exactly the same.

Hee hee hee.

In the middle of the moonless night, the passers-by who walked up the shrine path alone let out a strange laugh.

Duh, duh, duh.

It was the sound of nails being struck.

The monster named Yae was finally awakened by this series of sounds.

An immature child's voice rang out in the gloomy woods: "I've said it many times, when you are ugly, if you have night blindness, don't come out to wander around in the middle of the night."

Yae is a monster with an immature appearance, she looks like a seven or eight-year-old human girl, she is sitting on a huge cherry blossom tree, rubbing her eyes and looking at the ugly girl who is nailing the scarecrow to the tree: "You put the scarecrow on the tree again?" The scarecrow is nailed to me, it hurts so much, change it to a tree!"

The ugly girl raised her head upon hearing the sound, and the three candles on top of her head shone with a faint blue light, dragging the shadow under her eyes longer.

"Hey, did you admit it wrong again?" The ugly girl's mouth curled up nervously, and she kept making creepy "hee hee" laughter. She pulled out the iron nail, took down the scarecrow, and turned to a nearby tree. Nail it on.

The trees near the shrine were bathed in the brilliance of Takamahara, and they were already alive. As soon as Ugly Girl's nails were nailed into it, the tree immediately cried out in pain.

However, unlike Yae who took human form, this tree was ignorant, and there was no other movement after the "hey".

So Ugly Time's Daughter continued to nail the nails, and Yae held her chin to watch, thinking that a dead fellow Taoist would never die, and come to me to defend your rights after you can transform into form.

Choushi's daughter was excited to knock on the nails, and her ponytails were swaying happily. Yae looked at Choushi's regular ups and downs, and felt drowsy again.

She thought in a daze, the ugly daughter of time is quite cute, if the resentment all over her body is ignored.

The laughter of the ugly girl "hee hee hee hee" made Yae unable to fall asleep completely. Fortunately, the monster's need for sleep is not as strong as that of humans, so Yae yawned while watching Ugly nailing the nails. Humans describe the eerie scene It didn't make her feel the slightest bit of fear.

After all, she is a monster now.

Yes, Yae is not a natural monster, she used to be a human, not so ordinary human with two death experiences.

The first death brought her to this magical era where humans and demons lived together. The second death, she was buried under the cherry blossom tree at the foot of the shrine mountain, and thus became a more special existence than human beings-youkai.

"I don't have any unfulfilled wishes, so why did I become a monster?" Yae who turned into a monster asked the other monsters, "Obviously I was an adult before I died, why did I become a child after I became a monster?" ?”

"Maybe you have forgotten your wish." The other monsters responded like this, "No matter how long humans live, their lifespan will always be a child to monsters."

Yae, who couldn't sleep, asked the hard-working ugly girl who nailed the scarecrow: "Who are you going to curse this time?"

"Hehehe, whatever you want." Ugly Shi's daughter didn't turn her head, and made an irresponsible speech, "Anyway, Ugly Shi's nailing a scarecrow is just like a rabbit digging a hole, it's just a habit, hehehe, a habit that can't be changed. "

Nailing a nail when you are ugly is equivalent to a rabbit digging a hole. This is a metaphor made by Yae, and it was actually accepted by me.

Yae glanced at the scarecrow, who was filled with strong resentment, and was clearly pointing at something: "Wow, then the person who was cursed this time is really unlucky."

The ugly daughter giggled, "Yae, let me tell you a story."

Yae, who was sitting on the branch, shook his feet: "There is no story, but there is news."

"At the other end," Yae stretched out her finger in a direction, and the ugly girl didn't look up but knew where she was pointing, because the fragrance of cherry blossoms brought by the wind pointed her in the direction, "I can see the auspicious seat of the shrine In an open space above, an onmyoji laid out a formation, as if to summon something."

The scarecrow was firmly nailed to the tree, and the ugly girl finally turned her head: "What do you want to summon? Shikigami? Monsters? Wraiths?"

"I heard from the ghost brother who passed by that it was used to summon the gods. I don't know which onmyoji is so bold." Yae floated down from the tree, as light as cherry blossoms, "I want to see Look, are you going?"

Yae is parasitic on the cherry tree, and has a certain perception of the vegetation around the shrine. She is not completely unaware of the movement on the auspicious seat, but the feeling is completely different from seeing it with her own eyes.

The ugly girl swayed from side to side, tiptoed up and down, bouncing around, looking in a good mood: "Hee hee hee, okay."

The ugly girl lived in the forest not far from the shrine—otherwise, she wouldn't come here to nail the scarecrows every now and then, and she was so familiar with Yae.Guishihei and Guishibai are big monsters who work in the underworld. When they passed by, the ugly girl also noticed it.

That was days ago.

"But Yae, why didn't you think about it until today?"

"Because I'm lazy."

To be precise, Yae, who is parasitic on the cherry tree, should be regarded as a cherry blossom demon now, and she has indeed obtained a meager healing ability like other cherry blossom demons.But compared with other cherry blossom demons who can't leave the body too far, the parasitic cherry blossom tree did not cause much restriction to Yae, who was once a human being.

Don't look at it, just because I'm too lazy to move, more things are worse than less things.

But sometimes curiosity is really a damned thing. I obviously feel that it is dangerous, but I can't let it go. The ugly girl is here, and I have a courageous little partner. No matter how lazy I can't help but move.

Yae leads the way. The child-like cherry blossom monster glows slightly at night, but its walking posture is dignified and delicate. It can be seen that it has received a good education before death: "It's a good way to see the formation of Onmyoji," the monster is still away from Yin and Yang It's better for the masters to stay away, who knows what will happen if you meet them, "The key is to catch you a lantern ghost."

The big lantern with its tongue sticking out and its eyes staring is a very common monster, but it is different from the cool-toned flames of most monsters. Its flame is bright orange, and the temperature of the flame is also different from the coldness of common monsters, but warm. This feature determines its characteristics of tending to Yang, Ji, and human.

The cherry blossom demon is an SR-level monster, and when it is ugly, it is an R-card, and it is easy to catch an N-card lantern.

They are both monsters, so they don't make things difficult for it, they use a fire to illuminate it, and let it go when they get home.

Yae was tiptoeing close to a lantern ghost whose back was facing her. Suddenly, the lantern ghost noticed it and turned around suddenly.Yae hadn't figured out what to do, and the ugly behind him had already thrown the cone of curse.

All the cones of the curse were nailed to the Lantern Ghost's body, and the Lantern Ghost grew bigger with a "huh", and wanted to lick Yae's face as soon as he stuck out his tongue.

Yae dodged back, and habitually reached out to grab its tongue—once the tongue was caught, the Lantern Ghost would be led away obediently by you.

Of course, grabbing a lantern with a tongue as hot as a ghost flame core might burn him, but Yae has healing skills, so he doesn't care about such minor injuries.

However, just a second before her finger touched the lantern ghost's tongue, when she felt the burning sensation from above and was sure that she would not escape the fate of being scalded, a gust of swift wind suddenly blew into her finger and the lantern In the narrow gap between the ghost's tongue, he gently and irresistibly pushed her and the lantern ghost away from each other.

The moves are unfamiliar, but the spiritual power is familiar.

It was the owner of the mountain shrine who came.

"Hee..." The ugly girl paused in laughter, "Yi Mu Lian, Yi Mu Lian adults."

Yae closed her eyes because of the sudden wind, and turned her head and opened her eyes suddenly when she heard the voice of the ugly girl.

A glance.

It's really a glance.

Behind the white-haired Fengshen is an accompanying golden dragon, surrounded by clouds and mist, and his cold and gentle spiritual power is like his eyes, the aloof god looks down gently.

When Yae was alive, he knew that the shrine on the mountain was dedicated to Ichimulian, and the story of the god of wind diverting the flood to save the village still remains in fragments in the legends and stories of human beings, but the village that escaped the catastrophe of the flood It has been eroded by a long time and no longer exists.

So Yae knew that Yimulian who had lost his enshrinement might turn into a monster.

But now, Yae, who is a monster, clearly feels that Ichimoren in front of him is still a god, although the clear breath of a god in him has been very weak.

Yimulian's appearance is very young, like a handsome human teenager, Yae doesn't understand why there is such a deep tenderness hidden under such a young appearance, Yimulian's story is sad and lonely, it is the helplessness of the vicissitudes of human affairs, but It reveals the contemptuous face of human beings who pursue profits and are short-sighted.

Yae didn't understand why he didn't resent.

Probably because she didn't understand, she was a monster and he was a god.

Yae, the monster, knew from the very beginning that Ichimokulian lived in the shrine, and the instant the transformation took place, there was lightning falling between the clouds, and it was the strong wind that swept it away.

Yae knew who helped her, and bowed upright to the shrine on the mountain, but until today, she never went up to pay her respects.

Longing for it, Yae dared not approach Yimulian.

I saw the little monster at a glance—no matter in terms of appearance or strength—staring at him blankly, thinking that she was scared, so he reached out and pressed her hair: "It's okay."

The boy-like deity's voice was soft and clear, Yae felt guilty and aggrieved, ashamed why he didn't go to the shrine to worship, the grievance was for Ichimoren's grievance, obviously such a good god, why no one enshrines it.

Yae sniffled and forcibly changed the subject: "Master Yimulian, why are you here?"
