Bandage fine tricks

The bird used by the members of the Ghost Killing Team to communicate with the headquarters is called "Crow". It is a trained crow with a high IQ (compared to birds). conversations—maybe because of his high IQ, he could see that Xiao Ba was his natural enemy at a glance, so that none of the large group of crows cultivated by the Ghost Killing Squad were willing to approach Xiao Ba.

Except that Fat Chirp who's just a little goofy - ah no, it's a silver-throated long-tailed tit.

Can't speak, only "jiu", "jiujiu" and "jiujiujiu" and countless "jiujiu" can only be heard, and the transmission of orders can only rely on body language, but Xiaoba only needs to know where there is a ghost, from this point Said, this fat chirp is good enough for the job.

It's just that there is a high possibility of work-related injuries...

After the initial self-righteous and timid but wild intuition warning (but it didn't work), the ignorant Fat Jiu got used to the new owner's breath and started bouncing on Xiao Ba's head, making happy chirping sounds, without knowing it. I am spreading my wings above the head of the natural enemy.

Xiaoba: "..."

Calm down, you are an intellectual, intelligent and rational person (or demon), you cannot be defeated by the irrational wildness of instinct...

Fortunately, before the cat's paws that were about to move, this fat chirp flew into the sky first, made a sound of "chirp, chirp", and kept circling to guide it in a certain direction.

Xiao Ba looked up: "Is there a ghost in the southeast?"

Fat Jiu: "Jiu Jiu!"

"Since it's over there, let's go." Xiaoba nodded and walked towards the direction pointed by Feijiu. The silver-throated long-tailed tit, which was flying in the air, saw that her direction was correct and did not deviate, so it flapped its wings and landed. Jumped a few times on her left shoulder: "Chirp? Chirp!"

Miraculously, Xiao Ba understood what it meant: "I don't have a knife—I don't get along very well with the Sun Wheel Knife."

When she passed the test of the Ghost Killing Team, she received the sun-absorbing forging materials given by the Ghost Killing Team as usual: Orangutan Crimson Sand Iron and Orangutan Crimson Ore. Besides, it is the only weapon that can deal damage to ghosts.

Xiaoba's problem at the beginning was that she also derived from Ji Guo Yuanyi's "Sun Breath" breathing method "Star Breath", for some reason, she couldn't coordinate well with the Sun Wheel Saber.

The most obvious difference is that after other breathwork swordsmen get the sundial sword, the blade of the sundial sword will show different colors according to the attributes of the breathing method used by it, but Xiaoba gets the forged sword. After the Japanese sword made by Dao Rencun for her, the blade did not change in any way.

In the ensuing killing attempt, both Yuanyi and she discovered that this sun wheel knife could not coordinate with the breathing method to exert its maximum power like other people's knives, so the knife maker who was hit hard took another He went back with a knife.

Looking back now, Xiaoba feels a little sorry for the professional knife maker: after all, she and the knife maker thought that the knife maker's own skills were not up to standard, so the Japanese wheel knives they made were not good enough. on her...

As for the knife of Brother Yuanyi, when she buried Brother Yuanyi, she put the knife in his grave and accompanied him to sleep forever in the ground—although according to what she knew about Brother Yuanyi For him, burying the He Ren with him was far less satisfying than burying the bamboo flute he carried with him.

But the problem is, she didn't find that bamboo flute on Brother Yuanyi.

Didn't you take it with you when you went out?Impossible, Brother Yuan has always carried that flute with him...

After all, that bamboo flute was given to him by Brother Yuanyi's favorite elder brother (by the way, the human being she least likes). I think the little eight cats tried to scratch that flute countless times, but they were all rejected by Yuanyi before they achieved their goals. A flute was transferred away... If Yuanyi is willing to use that flute as a cat teaser, he will harvest a cat who is very keen on the cat teaser (only produced by Ji Guoyan Sheng).

Moreover, at that time, I vaguely saw the flute that fell out of Brother Yuanyi's arms and broke into two pieces. Why didn't I find it after searching around... Xiaoba recalled the scene that made her feel very unhappy, and couldn't help it. Live frowned.

...Could it be that he was taken away by that ghost?

Xiao Ba clenched his fist silently.

——No matter what he is using the other people's flute for, in short, there is one more reason to seek revenge on that six-eyed ghost!

A rumor of a cannibal began to spread in this area: In those villages and cities where people often disappeared, everyone would shiver in their own homes at night, fearing that the fate of disappearance would happen to them, so they had to go out to perform their duties. Occasionally, the watchman on duty will see a petite girl with black hair holding a tall, graceful, or short person in one hand in a certain place in the village and city, and while hammering the person's head, ask: " Do you know the whereabouts of the ghost with six eyes? If you know, it’s better to tell. There is still XX time before the sun rises. This place is the last place in the whole town to be illuminated by the sun. You can think about it slowly ,I'm in no hurry."

With her back to the beater, the petite girl has ears that definitely don't belong to humans, and behind her is a big fluffy tail that definitely doesn't belong to a human. The beater, who knows the existence of monsters, is scared to death. I have no way of knowing what happened afterwards—it’s just that when the sun rose, when the watchman brought the monk Onmyouji to the place where he had encountered the inhuman existence, there were no monsters in sight anymore. There was only a pile of clothes that seemed to be left behind by someone...

Judging from the description of the watchman, I am afraid that the disappearance of people in this city some time ago has an inseparable relationship with the girl who is obviously a monster. It's not that the girls who live around here will subconsciously avoid it.

——Although the existence of the ears and tail was covered up with black magic, Xiaoba, who was still shunned by the crowd like a snake and turned into a black cat, learned the reason from the rumors in the market: "..."

All in all, it's all up to that six-eyed ghost!

And what do these ghosts mean, and why do they always go around Brother Yuanyi's graveyard to catch people and eat them?

Even if it's just for Brother Yuanyi, she has to get rid of all the man-eating ghosts around here!

"Jiu Jiu!" Fat Jiu, who was almost a ball, yelled worriedly.

"It's okay." The girl with different pupils, who had regained her human form, leaned against Ji Guoyuan's tombstone, took out a small bag of nuts from her pocket, put half of it on Ji Guoyuan's tombstone, and kept the rest for herself ——The mixed nut snacks produced by the modern factory directly removed the shell, and she squeaked and creaked, as if biting the flesh and blood of a certain ghost, "Although there is still no whereabouts of the six-eyed ghost, but according to my experience, as long as you search one by one like this, you can always find it.”

"Chirp?"

"Because as long as you catch one and kill it, other ghosts will appear nearby." Xiaoba vowed: This is why she and brother Yuanyi chased and killed the ghost who had a vendetta against her. At that time, I came to the conclusion that as long as they chased and killed them hard enough, the ghosts that should have been distributed elsewhere would gather towards them, as if they knew that some companions here were in trouble, so they rushed to help.

The cat is really touched by the stranger ghosts who are clearly out of touch with each other and have a very strange relationship, but they will show up for their companions who are also "ghosts".

Hachimao, who came to this conclusion, wiped away the crocodile's tears, and together with Rizhu, sent the ghosts who were rushing to die to Santuchuan without hesitation.

And the ghost that was sliced ​​like sashimi was really good at running away. While she and brother Yuanyi were dealing with the other ghosts that appeared, their target ran away again...

It is basically impossible for ghosts to live in groups, so during this period of time, Xiao Ba did not find it strange that other ghosts did not ask about the whereabouts of the ghost she was looking for. She is just waiting for the "cluster phenomenon" "That's all: as long as enough ghosts gather, she can always find the ghost with six eyes!"

Fat Jiu: "..."

Fat Chirp felt that something was wrong, what his master said was completely different from what he knew from those senior crows...

After eating today's nut snacks, Xiao Ba yawned and leaned on the grave to relax his body.

She looked at the clouds floating in the sky above her head for a while, then turned her head sideways, staring at the tomb, feeling a little dazed.

Obviously, I watched Brother Yuan's burial, and knew that Brother Yuan's body was under this grave, but why...

Doesn't he have any real feeling that this is Brother Yuanyi's home?

This tomb gave her the feeling that it was no different from any small mound.

why?

On the other hand, also because of the "young women who have not seen near the village" in the team - specifically referring to Coral and Kagome - and the obvious inhuman characteristics of the half-demon dog, when Inuyasha and his party walked nearby , have suffered similar discrimination.

Of course, after Mitreya came out and said that the half-demon dog in the team was a shikigami he subdued (Inuyasha: Who do you look down on!?), the castellan who had been avoiding snakes and scorpions immediately showed a rescued expression and cried out Recently, there have been cases of people missing in the city, so they almost hugged Maitreya's thigh and cried.

"You can't see people alive, but you can't see dead bodies..." Maitreya repeated what the city lord said just now, showing a thoughtful expression, "It's very similar to what we encountered before."

This situation also happened in the city where Kagome was hijacked before, and there was a man-eating ghost hidden there-this is what he recovered his memory and told them all about the man-eating ghost Xiao Ba said.

"There is also a girl with animal ears and animal tail...it should be Xiaoba, she is still nearby."

Inuyasha's sense of smell is as trustworthy as ever.

Maitreya looked at the sword hanging on Mica's body. It was much shorter than the common samurai sword, but it was not a short sword. In terms of length, it should be Wakizashi. "Tang Dao".

It is the most suitable weapon for that guy, after all, the guy's teeth were used in the forging - said Dao Dao Zhai.

How could such a short knife be a suitable weapon for that human being?

Maitreya was puzzled.

Although I can't figure it out, the knife is still going to be sent there. Just as Inuyasha said that Hachi's breath is also in that direction, Mitreya decided to put the knife in front of the grave of Mr. Ji Guoyuanyi first.

The crowd divided into two groups, Maitreya went to deliver the knife to Ji Guo Yuanyi's tomb, while the others stayed in the city, waiting for the man-eating ghost to appear.

After the man-eating ghosts are dealt with, they are on their way to find Xiaoba—one of the materials given by Dao Dao Zhai is "a part of the body of a monster with the ability to travel through space, hair and nails are fine, and half-demons are also fine", As for the monsters or semi-demons that Inuyasha and others know of that have the ability to travel through space, only Hachi...

Unexpectedly, in front of Ji Guo Yuanyi's tomb, Maitreya saw the half-demon girl sleeping against the tombstone.

Maitreya: "...sleeping in the cemetery, should I say that Xiao Bayi is brave, or should I say that she is not afraid of souls..."

Sensing someone approaching, the half-demon girl who was sleeping with her eyes closed opened her eyes, her pupils of different colors shining brightly in the moonlight.

Her gaze landed precisely on the knife at Maitreya's waist:

that knife...

Just as Mitreya was about to speak, Xiao Ba suddenly turned his head and looked towards the woods on the other side.

He was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized and became alert.

Sure enough, a...human came out of the woods?

No, it's a ghost.

Maitreya could distinguish the inhuman aura on the opponent.

"Did you finally die..." The ghost said as if letting go of a big stone in his heart, "Human life has a limit, even a person like him can only return to hell..."

"Don't say ghosts won't die." The half-demon girl with different-colored eyes stood up from Yuanyi's tomb expressionlessly, "Ghost Dance Tsuji Wumai."

——She has a very good memory, and she still remembers the name of this ghost who fried up all kinds of meat in order to escape.

By the moonlight, Guiwu Tsuji Wucan saw clearly the appearance of the girl in front of Ji Guoyuanyi's tomb, and his eyes were shattered: "You are... the child that that person brought with you? How is it possible? After more than 60 years, how could you still be the same? This look!"

More than 60 years of time is enough to turn a child into an old woman, but why, the stepson of Rizhu, the founder of the breathing method of the ghost killing team, still looks like a girl now! ?

The memory of Heren, who would arrive shortly after seeing this girl and even the black cat with different pupils, made Gui Wu Tsuji tremble subconsciously. The deadly Helen is coming!

But then he saw the small grave behind the girl, and the fear that made his cells tremble finally calmed down: that person was already dead, and he didn't need to be afraid of a person who didn't even have a sun wheel knife.

He sneered: It's just a fox pretending to be a tiger!Now that that person is dead, what else does he have to be afraid of!

Guiwu Tsuji glanced at the small grave, and the human right hand instantly turned into a huge inhuman limb with countless sharp claws, rushing straight at the two of them—no, to be precise, it was a rush. To the grave bag behind the two of them!

He wants to destroy Brother Yuanyi's tomb!

Xiaoba realized this in an instant, and a certain kind of extremely inflated emotion rushed to the top of her head in an instant, and the sorcery used to cover up the strangeness on her body suddenly lost control. At the same time as the ears and tail that belonged to monsters were exposed, she felt that there was something on the scene, Resonating with her demon power!

Om-!

Mitreya was taken aback, and when he lowered his head, he felt a stream of light flashing across his waist. It took him a while to realize what had just happened: the sword made by the demon swordsmith who was hanging on his waist and was about to be sent to be placed in front of Mr. Yuanyi's grave. The knife made by Dao Zhai broke free from the rope spontaneously and flew into the hands of the half-demon girl with different eyes.

Responding to her anger, a strange brilliance flowed from the knife, and in an instant, the originally bright blade instantly turned into a color!

In the whisper of the sword, Maitreya heard Xiaoba's light but cold voice:

"Who gave you the courage to dare to act presumptuously in front of me and in front of Brother Yuanyi's grave?"

In the next second, the sky was full of stars.

Western country.

Daodaozhai hugged his hammer and looked at the sky, recalling the past rarely.

It was many years ago when a human came to him and begged him to forge a weapon with a token from a great monster he could not refuse.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Dao Dao Zhai asked the humans in front of him, "I usually don't make weapons for humans, this time because of the request of the cat, I made an exception and gave you weapons according to your requirements." Build a weapon." He looked at the humans in front of him and said, "But you didn't ask me to build a weapon for you, but..."

He looked at the forging table beside him, and there were two small teeth on it.

Ordinary people can't detect it, but as a demon swordsman, he told him that it has the same magical power as that of the cat.

Those two teeth should belong to a certain descendant of that cat—probably the descendant who was said to be sent back by him 500 years later.

"You know, that child has been sent back to the time she should be by her ancestors." Dao Daozhai looked at the human being and said, "Even if you use up this rare opportunity and choose to build her a The weapon that is suitable for her, there is a gap between you but there are 500 years of time, you can't send the weapon you have made to her."

"I know." Yuan Yi said calmly, "It doesn't matter after I die, I just want her to have a weapon to protect herself."

"She is a descendant of Maoyou, and she will become Maoyou's descendant one day," Dao Zhai pointed out. "Maomaue's own body is the best weapon. It is unnecessary for you to prepare weapons for her."

Which cat hunts not with its own claws, but with a human sword?

"But before that, she was just a human being, even a half-demon," Yuan Yi said, "At this time, she still needs weapons."

Dao Dao Zhai couldn't refute this point, he couldn't think of any reason to refuse, so he had to pick up the hammer.

"The weapons I make are very popular!" Dao Dao Zhai couldn't help emphasizing this.

"I know."

"You have to give up such a rare opportunity to others. What did that child do for you to make you willing to do this?" Dao Dao Zhai was really curious.

This question stunned Yuan for a moment: "No need."

"what?"

Yuanyi did not explain.

He thought of the black cat who accompanied him in those peaceful but warm days.

Perhaps in Xiao Ba's view, she did nothing, just stayed by his side, accompanied him, and occasionally protected him—if Xiao Ba knew, she would definitely refute the term "protection": Although it is protection, But even without me, relying on brother Yuanyi's ability, I won't be hurt by those monsters I meet, so this is not considered protection!

That child must have retorted with such an unhappy face.

But, to him—

For some people, just standing there is enough to dispel the loneliness and despair that make people collapse.

Dao Dao Zhai couldn't understand this human being. Unlike those humans who showed their emotions, the emotional fluctuations in this person named Yuan Yi were very small, which always made him think "Is this a plant?"

Only when the child is mentioned, will there be obvious emotional changes in this human being.

"What is that child to you?" Dao Dao Zhai asked casually while waiting for the forged material to be melted.

This sentence made Yuanyi think for a long time, and then he answered slowly:

"It's the stars, it's the sun."

"what?"

The stars and the sun...the gap is a bit big!

Daodao Zhai didn't wait for an explanation, because not long after this conversation, the human left.

"Unfortunately, I still don't know what he meant by the stars and the sun..." Looking up at Mingyue, Dao Dao Zhai muttered, changed his position and continued to sleep.

It was the star that fell in his palm after 500 years of time, and the sun whose light became faint because of the distance.

But the sun is still the sun.

It gave him a faint but real warmth.
