Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

--half year later--

In a remote village, the endless farmland faces the blue sky and white clouds above.Although it is not as noisy as Kyoto, it is a little more peaceful here.

I don't know where the sound of the leaf flute sounded, and several children playing in the field rushed to the man in black on the hillside in the distance.Two years later, the innocence and unruliness of the time were less in his brows, and he was more mature and calm.At this moment, the dull golden pupils already had dull emotions, as if nothing in the world could affect him anymore.

And at this time and space, the origami Chizuru suddenly flew over, and he stopped at this moment and reached out to catch it.

"It's been two years since I came back to my home. You've been practicing outside for a long time. Come back..." He opened the paper crane and looked at the lines, and couldn't help showing a warm smile.

"Are you letting me go back?" He looked up at the blue sky above, his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Brother Mingdou!!" Just as he was silent, a group of children suddenly ran up behind him. "Brother Mingdou! What was it just now!?" "It's amazing, it can fly in the air by itself!"

"That's Shiwen, which is equivalent to a letter." Ming Dou lowered his head and explained at this moment, reached out and touched the heads of a few children, and said, "I'm going back."

"Hey? Why?" "Could it be that you want to get rid of the demon?"

"..." Ming Dou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help recalling the news he heard half a year ago: Shuten-douji has returned...

It is said that the Seal Tower built outside the city of Kyoto was destroyed, and several Onmyoji were buried there.At first he was worried about the master who also went there, but when he heard that Chitose Ashiya was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, we need to get rid of a big monster." After half a year of practice, Ming Dou has learned a lot of formations, and he has mastered the use of formations in actual combat.Not only that, he also started to practice summoning shikigami by himself, and now he can summon three shikigami in one breath to assist in the retreat.

Now that he goes back, he will definitely be promoted to the third in command of the Ashiya family, but Mingdou has no interest in this.The current him——only cared about Shuten-douji and the extermination of the tengu clan that killed her back then.However, to deal with two of the strongest monsters in history at one go, Ming Dou also satirizes himself a lot.Of course, in his memory, the pair of fox sisters are still not forgotten.

And at this moment, Ming Dou never expected that when they reunited two years later, the pair of fox sisters would undergo considerable changes——

In the jungle surrounded by mountains, spots of light are reflected on the ground under the shade of greenery.And the figure leaning against a tree, a sleeping face is so quiet, there is no vigilance in the steady breath, the surrounding tranquility seems to have created a very good nap environment for her.But at this moment—"Chief General!!!" A shout came from a distance, and her ears on the top of her head moved twice before slowly opening her eyes. "What's the matter...Finally fell asleep..." The silver hair fluttered gently with the wind, and a pair of clear eyes were still slightly dull.

"Chief general! Chief—!" The figure running in the woods was suddenly caught by a silver-gray tail at this moment, and was ruthlessly dragged to a certain fox demon.

"I said, didn't my sister tell you that it is most taboo to be disturbed when I am resting?" A sharp light flashed in her clear eyes, and her cold tone seemed to make the little fox in front of her stand on end.

"But... but General! Yuzao-sama has issued an order yesterday that everyone will be summoned to discuss the attack on Shuten-douji this morning..." As soon as he finished speaking, the fox's tail on him disappeared.

"It seems that there is such a thing..." Yu Daoyin knocked on his head at this time, yawned loudly: "I see, then let's go."

It has been two years since Yu Daoan inherited the name of Tamamoen that day. While she and her sister are looking for the lost kin, they are also strengthening the abilities of their kin.Although they have confronted many monsters in the past two years, and suffered many injuries and defeats along the way, they are now leading the Fox Clan very well.Many of the same kind that have not been found have also rushed to them. The fox clan from thousands of years ago has gathered now, and their number is no less than the number led by Yuzao.

"It looks like a war is about to start." Yu Daoyin turned around to look at the little fox at this moment, and said to herself, "Although I don't know if it's right to do this, is it true that you don't want to join forces with the big dog?" She Knowing that it was the big tengu who caught Xia Hua, Ming Dou became like that.But when dealing with Shuten-douji, she feels that the more strength she has, the more confidence she has... Of course, like Yu Daoan, she hates the Tengu clan from the bottom of her heart.

"..." At this moment, the face with a bright smile flashed in my mind, and a bleak shadow gradually appeared on Yu Daoyin's face.It's been half a year, and he hasn't returned to Yinghe even once—every time he plays the role of a traveler and passes by Ashiya's house, Yu Daoyin has to be careful of being caught.She secretly ran out of this mountain forest many times in half a year to find him and wait for him... But there was nothing.

Could it be that it was eaten by a monster...

If Yu Daoyin sees him, he will definitely bring him the news that Xia Hua is still alive.But that person still hasn't appeared in the past half a year, and Yu Daoyin can only endure - she is waiting and looking forward to it.What he was waiting for was to take Xia Hua back at the moment when his sister attacked Jiu Tun Doji, and what he hoped was that Ming Dou would show up, even if he handed Xia Hua to him, it would be fine if she didn't have a thank you.

As long as you see him, it doesn't matter what you do.

~fox hole~

Light beams fell from the cracks above the stones to illuminate the place, and the endless corridors in the depths of the fox cave extended to a luxurious palace.And the group of foxes walked towards the palace one after another in the corridor, and it was hard to tell how many there were just looking down.The surroundings of the promenade are decorated with beautiful scenery for the sake of illusion, streams, mountains, blue sky and white clouds-the small fox cave is simply all-encompassing and amazing.

In the center of the hall, the foxes all transformed into human figures and stood together in an orderly manner.At this time, there was no words among them, and they all looked at the fox demon who was called the leader of the fox clan on the throne above.

The light orange long hair is as dazzling as the sun, the light-colored pupils are icy cold, and the gorgeous feathers are worn on the body, and there is a sense of nobility and solemn majesty in this light-filled place.And the fox's face was so beautiful that one couldn't look directly at it, like a blooming poppy, which was both tempting and dangerous.

"Now, we have finally waited for this moment." She smiled coldly at this moment, and a deep evil smile floated on the corner of her mouth: "In the crusade against Shuten-douji, our Fox Clan failed twice in total." She said, the following The Fox clan frowned one after another and began to recall that period of shame.

"The first battle - 50 years ago, Shuten-douji deceived us into an alliance with the fox tribe, but at the foot of the great river and mountains, he drove our fox tribe to extinction with his own hands, and Master Tamazamo died in battle. The second battle - ten years ago, we We launched an attack again, fortunately we were rescued by Xingxiong Boy, so our Fox Clan did not suffer heavy casualties in that battle."

Yu Daoan thought silently in her heart, and continued to say coldly: "Now Shuten-douji's strongest subordinate, Hoshikuma-douji, is dead, and his right-hand man, Ibaraki-douji, has also left him. Now that Shuten-douji has no power, he It's just a bird with broken wings and unable to make a sound." Yu Daoqin stood up from the throne at this time, holding a slender razor decorated with ornate gold trim and said: "Just 'bite' off his Neck, Shuten-douji will completely disappear from this world, and our fox clan may dominate the entire demon world." Although Yu Daoan is not interested in dominating the demon world, the success of defeating Shuten-douji also symbolizes this matter.Shuten-douji—— has been the supreme king of all monsters since the Heian period, and has always been called the head of the three monsters.

And at this time, the one who came to him from the apse was Yu Daoyin, the chief general whom he personally recognized. "You came too late." Yu Daoan frowned at this moment and complained helplessly, looking at her sister who just woke up from sleep.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yu Daoyin stuck out her tongue with a wry smile, silently stood beside Yu Dao's Eucalyptus, looked down at His Highness's kind, and asked softly, "Sister...is the whole team going to fight?"

"I issued an order that the elderly and children are not allowed to fight, and the rest are all voluntary." Yu Daoan looked down at Grandpa Sheng Xin who was supported by You Ji, and a faint unbearable expression gradually appeared in his eyes: "When the It was only after I became the leader that I realized that the Fox Clan are all my children...no matter how old or young they are, everyone is as precious as my relatives. I don't want to see anyone die..."

"..." Yu Daoyin looked at her at this moment, knowing this feeling in her heart.In fact, she is the same, very worried that some of her kind will die in the next crusade.Maybe this is a kind of gentleness that belongs to monsters...

"Shuten-douji... I will definitely kill you..." Yu Daoan took a deep breath at this moment, looked up at the sky and said to himself: "I want to take Xia Hua back..."

……

Yu Daoyin lowered her eyes and took a deep breath.What is the relationship between Natsuka and Shuten-douji... Why didn't she tell them that she had a relationship with Shuten-douji at first?And...she is a half-demon...

"Sister..." At this moment, Yudaoyin raised his head and was about to speak about whether he would be with Daitengu and the others in this crusade, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice—"Master Yuzaoqian!! Something bad happened!! "It's that little fox again, doesn't he pay attention to the scene at all?

Yu Daoyin frowned at this moment, stretched out a tail and grabbed the fox, "Are you an idiot?" Yu Daoyin was about to speak at this moment, when Yu Daoyin reached out and put her hand on her chest. Let her stop before her lips—"What happened?" Yu Daoan calmly acted like a leader, her tone was so flat as if nothing had happened, and the foxes below all stared Small eyes.

"Jiangjiang Jiangjiang Edohuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu—" the little fox ran out of breath, and his words were intermittent, "Are you really a game?" Yu Daoyin really had a kind of Impulsive to chop him up, the little fox was so frightened that he couldn't make a sound.

"Xiao Yin, don't scare him." Just as Yu Daoan said this, a voice suddenly came from the air: "Because I got impatient waiting, so I came in first.

At this moment, above the foxes, a figure gradually descended.Short silver hair fluttering around his handsome cheeks, dark gray eyes with a deep smile at this moment, a dark attire and a dagger at his waist—the slipper of Edo came to this fox lair alone.

"Long time no see, both of you." Hualao landed among the group of foxes, and the foxes immediately took a step back vigilantly and surrounded him.At this time, they all had killing intent in their eyes, and Hua Piao couldn't help but break out in a drop of cold sweat when they saw it: "Hehe..." At this moment, he took a puff from the pipe, exhaled a faint green smoke, and continued: "Fox clan light!" It’s really scary to kill with your eyes.”

"..." Yu Daoan raised her eyebrows at this moment, and said coldly, "I don't know why your Excellency came here?"

"Needless to say?" Hua Piao sneered lightly, "Of course it is to assist you in the crusade against Shuten-douji—as a reward for last time."

"..." Neither Yu Daoan nor Yu Daoyin spoke, but Yu Daoan noticed that he had recovered after looking at the monster in front of him.But... "This is the grievance of our fox clan, and has nothing to do with you."

Seeing the leader speak, several foxes immediately yelled: "Yes, yes! Does our business have anything to do with you?!" "Go back to Edo, don't come here."

"Sister." Yu Daoyin came to Yu Daoan's side at this time, "I think we might as well cooperate with Hua Piao." As soon as the words fell, Yu Daoan suddenly turned to look at her with wide eyes: "But... He came so far to say that he wants to help us, and the crusade against Shuten-douji is our internal news, how could he know?"

"I'm also very strange...but..." Yudao Yin was thinking in her heart, she always felt that Shuten-douji was not as easy as she imagined.What's more, she felt that it might be more effective to overthrow it with external forces.

I wanted to talk about joining forces with the big tengu, but now the cup is automatically sent to the door. Yu Daoyin will never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"What if he backtracks on his promise..." Yu Daoan said softly at this time, looking at the slipper below with a nonchalant expression, listening to the driving voices of the same kind around him.

"Then I'll kill him before that." Just as Yu Daoyin finished speaking, a certain little fox behind her was still tightly grasped by its tail: "General...I...I can't breathe—ah! !” The little fox slammed its tail away, and the little fox fell to the ground in pain.

"..." Yu Daoyin gave him a cold look, then turned to look at Hua Piao: "I will monitor him." After finishing speaking, Yu Daoyin, who was beside her, walked down to Hua Piao's side .

"I agree to join forces, but if you have any other ideas, don't blame me for being rude." After Yu Daoan said this to Hua Piao, Hua Piao was startled for a while, and then smiled slowly: "I haven't seen you for so long become so fierce."

"..." Yu Daoan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and just announced to his own clan: "We will join forces with the monsters of Edo in this crusade, and we will reach an agreement afterwards that no further contact will be allowed." Instantly, the entire scene They all yelled like an exploding pot: "Join forces with the monsters of Edo?!" It was like the effect of spreading the word to ten, and the whole hall began to make noise.

"Hey, what is no contact?" Hua Piao dug her ear, turned her head and said softly, "I didn't agree to this."

"I don't like transactions. Tell me what you want afterwards, right?" Yu Daoan asked, holding the razor tightly without letting go of her vigilance.

"It's just pure repayment, really, the humans in Kyoto are so rude, even you fox clan are so unfriendly." Hua Piao took a breath of cigarette helplessly, then spit it out again, "Shuten-douji...he is not you As simple as imagined..."
