Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

As if time stopped, Xia Hua only felt that her eyes had turned into darkness.But she soon felt that she seemed to be surrounded by some fluffy things.It wasn't until it was moved away that it was discovered that it was Yu Daoyin's paw.

"..." As they looked up, Xia Hua and Ming Dou both saw a huge white fox clenching its sharp teeth, enduring the pain from its claws.The bodyless monster bit the meat with snow-white fur, and the rows of teeth in its mouth pierced into the meat and sucked out blood continuously.

"Die!!" Yu Daoyin roared, and swung the monster out: "If you dare to hurt them! I will make you pay the price!"

"For the sake of human beings, you actually want to fight against the same kind!"

"Damn fox! Have you been confused by humans!?"

"..." Yu Daoyin hesitated for a moment, but quickly turned her head to look at her sister under the cherry blossom tree in the ruins.And Ming Dou and Xia Hua also noticed this, the woman who was trapped under the cherry tree by a monster with a human face and a snake body was Yu Daoyin's sister.

"You will regret it, you will regret it!" The monsters yelled and fled here, but at this moment a white barrier appeared around them—"Oops!" Xia Hua and Ming Dou were taken aback, because at this moment They saw beyond the barrier in the distance, several people in white hunting clothes holding amulets and about to start the ritual of exorcising demons.

"Yudaoyin, hurry up and leave!" Xia Hua immediately called out Shikishen White Wolf in desperation, and rode up to give orders.The white wolf also seemed to understand what she meant, and quickly rushed towards those onmyojis with her.

"But sister..." Yu Daoyin had no choice but to change back into a human form. Looking at her sister in the distance, she felt a dull pain in her heart: "Can't I save my sister..."

"It's okay!" Ming Dou said up to this point, rushed past her and went straight to Yu Dao'an.The moment he reached out and threw the little paper figurine towards Yu Dao'an, a rope connecting countless paper figurines appeared under the flash of white light and tightly bound Yu Dao's body.

"...Ah..." Yu Daoan only felt pain and heat all over her body, and she couldn't help exclaiming.But the snake demon behind her couldn't help but let go of her because of the power of the paper figurine.Almost at the critical moment, the paper figurine dragged Yu Daoan to Ming Dou's side.

"Sister!!" Seeing this situation, Yu Daoyin immediately rushed into Yu Dao'an's arms, "That's great! Sister, you're fine!"

"Xiao Yin..." Yu Daoyin only felt that she was so tired, but looking at her sister's face, she could feel at ease——Yudaoyin smiled faintly, and gradually closed her eyes...

"Sister?! Sister!!"

"It's okay, your sister is just tired." After Ming Dou took back the paper figurine from Yu Dao'an, he raised his head to look at the snake demon under the cherry blossom tree. "Why do you do this kind of thing...you..."

"..." The snake demon looked at them with an unexplained smile on the corner of his mouth.But just for a moment, the snake demon stretched out his hand and swung it away, and the Onmyoji's barrier disappeared without a trace.

"Hey..." Not only Ming Dou, but also Xia Hua and other onmyojis present were extremely surprised by this.While the monsters were surprised, they began to flee in different directions in the forest.

"I won't let you go." Ming Dou and Yu Daoyin looked at the opening and closing of the snake demon's mouth, and seemed to understand what she said.The cherry blossoms began to fall rapidly, and when they were completely dispersed, the snake demon's figure also disappeared.

"Che... was escaped..." Yu Dao gritted her teeth unhappily and clenched her fists tightly. "At least I can save your sister..." Ming Dou looked at the withered cherry tree in the ruins that had lost its original beauty, and turned his head to look at Xia Hua.

"Huh? Humans will join forces with monsters?" At this moment, one of the onmyojis broke the silence and said with a mocking tone. "Have you forgotten your most basic duty as an Onmyoji?"

"..." Xia Hua jumped off the white wolf and stretched out her hands to block the front, "That's enough, they are the victims this time."

"What are you talking about? Don't forget that the other party is a monster. A fox demon who became so big just now has completely alarmed the entire capital. Do you want us to return empty-handed?"

"We don't deal with monsters to show off!" As soon as Xia Hua finished speaking, several onmyojis showed cruel smiles at the same time: "I think you are bewitched by fox monsters, besides, fox monsters like them, Even if you treat them well, they will not repay you, but will harm you instead."

"..." Xia Hua seemed to feel that she had said this sentence before, and it was true... When will she protect monsters?It's just...to prevent Yu Daoyin from pestering Ming Dou any more. Now that he and Ming Dou have kept their promise and rescued Yu Daoyin...there is no need to act with them anymore...

At this moment, Xia Hua held her outstretched hands tightly, not knowing whether to let go or not to let go.But at this moment, a pair of hands tightly pulled his right hand down - "You humans are really ugly while taking advantage of the danger of the monster." Yu Dao Yin and Ming Dou who was holding Yu Dao Eucalyptus appeared Behind her, Xia Hua turned her head and saw Yu Daoyin's smile: "Thank you, Xia Hua."

"Yudaoyin..." Xia Hua looked at her and Ming Dou behind her, and Ming Dou just nodded.After taking a step back, Yu Daoyin confronted several onmyojis face to face: "Let's be clear first, don't you know which fox demon we are the direct descendants of?"

"..." Several onmyoji were puzzled at this moment, "What's wrong?"

"I can tell you openly, that I am a hundred times more powerful than Yuzao." Yu Daoyin patted his chest at this time, and said confidently: "In this era, there is no Abe Seimei, and there is no such a group of obtrusive ghost killers. You nameless onmyoji just want to get rid of me and my sister who will lead the fox clan in the future—we can try it here, whether your onmyoji is stronger than Abe Seimei in the Heian era, or the power of this fox On top of Yuzao." Saying that, Yu Daoyin's eyes were terrifyingly sharp, staring so directly that the onmyoji in front of him shouldn't move rashly.It wasn't until half a moment later that those onmyojis seemed to come back to their senses: "...you...you remember me!" After the words fell, the onmyojis turned back and walked into the forest, and never came back.

"Cut, I don't have the guts." Yu Daoyin shook his fist after watching them leave, "It's really boring, I thought we could fight." Turning to look at Xia Hua and Ming Dou, these two people They haven't said a word since just now, and now the two of them are also looking at Yu Daoyin without saying a word.

"...??" Yu Daoyin tilted her head in doubt, and looked at them: "What's wrong?"

"You...you..." Xia Hua hesitated for a long time and couldn't express her heart, and Ming Dou questioned for a long time before saying: "You said that you and your sister... are the future leaders of the fox clan?"

"Ah?" Yu Daoyin couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard this: "Of course it's fake!"

"Then your strength...?" Xia Hua pointed at her and made an unbelievable voice: "It's also fake? To scare them?!"

"Of course, we are monsters!" Yu Daoyin said with a smile: "I'm just betting, if they really have considerable strength, how come several of them came?" She squinted her eyes and smiled very heartily.

"That's right..." Xia Hua and Ming Dou also felt that what she said was reasonable, and nodded in unison.

"Master Yu Daoan!" At this moment, the miscellaneous ghost who had been hiding in Ming Dou's collar since the beginning of the battle ran out, stood on Ming Dou's shoulders, raised his hands and jumped up: "Great! Great! You're all right!"

"...you are...from the imperial city..." A surprised and relieved smile suddenly appeared on Yu Daoan's face. She really didn't expect that a ghost in the imperial city would come out to save her.

"Actually, this is what everyone meant, but Master Yudaoyin came here first. We are all surprised at this... Hahaha, the relationship between the two adults is really good." The miscellaneous ghost narrowed his eyes and said slowly Sincerely: "Before, you helped a miscellaneous ghost escape from Yinyangliao's magic circle. Since then, everyone in the imperial city has remembered you."

"..." Xia Hua and Ming Dou looked at Yu Dao'an in disbelief at this moment, they didn't expect monsters to have such a kind heart.But Yu Daoyin narrowed her eyes and looked at her at this time: "Hey, my sister is so gentle."

"..." Yu Daoan was stunned for a moment, and at the same time her face was flushed, she sneered indifferently: "Of course, I am also the empress of the middle palace."

"Seeing that Master Yu Daoan has been successfully rescued, I will take everyone back quickly." The miscellaneous ghost said while disappearing himself: "We miscellaneous ghosts who live deep in the imperial city can help Yu Daoan." I’m very glad that Master Dao’an is busy.” At this time, Xia Hua and Ming Dou suddenly noticed that they were surrounded by a group of blurry scenes that were invisible to the naked eye, a group of monsters that looked strange but were quite friendly. But there was joy and joy in their eyes.And Yu Daoyin also discovered that many of the forces that changed back to their original form and broke the barrier before were helped by them together. If they hadn't hid afterwards, my poisonous gas would have hurt them.

"Thank you..." Yu Daoan watched them gradually disappear before her eyes, and a kind of indescribable joy and gratitude surged in her heart——except for the voluntary appearance of miscellaneous ghosts, even onmyojis cannot see them, monsters No exception.But in Yu Daoan's heart, I heard that monsters like miscellaneous ghosts are a kind of monsters who are very grateful, and they will repay their favors—even small favors...

While her heart was filled with warmth, she and Yu Daoyin beside her looked at each other, and smiled at each other.

~ a few days later ~

Ever since Yu Daoyin was rescued that day, not only did Yu Daoyin refuse to leave Xia Hua's house, but she even pestered Ming Dou even more——

"Husband!~~~~~" On the outer corridor, Yu Daoyin hugged Ming Dou's waist tightly and refused to let go. Ming Dou looked at Xia Hua who was looking at him with Yanbian's eyes, with a face full of tears The appearance is really quite ridiculous.

"Okay, okay, sister, don't make it difficult for brother-in-law." At this time, Yu Daoan came out from the back room with a tea set and sat next to Xia Hua with a smile. "It's rare that the weather is so good, let's drink tea and enjoy the flowers together." Looking at the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard, Yu Dao's face couldn't help but feel a little dignified.But soon, her smile drowned it out.

"Speaking of which, why do you all have to stay with us..." Xia Hua moved her body towards Yu Dao'an, away from the 'hot' people and demons on the other side.

"Hey~ I really want to repay my favor!" Yu Daoan smiled coquettishly when she saw Yu Dao Yin and Ming Dou's appearance, and stretched out her sleeves to hide the smile behind her: "Besides, my sister wants to repay her favor no matter what, that's our sister." The rules of being a demon!"

"Why don't you repay those bastards..." Xia Hua's face twitched, "Because it's over, they said they don't need it." While Xia Hua was holding the tea bowl, Yu Daoan spread her hands Speaking of this, "Pfft!" Xia Hua suddenly coughed violently, "You... you really... went?"

"Yes, and..." Yu Daoan lowered her eyes at this moment: "I can't go to that kind of place anymore." At this moment, Xia Hua noticed that she seemed to have something on her mind. Taking a sip of the hot tea in her hand carefully: "Repay your kindness and leave quickly." Xia Hua said lightly, but she didn't think so at all in her heart. The two fox demons in front of her were different from all the monsters she had ever seen. .It's just why, even she herself can't tell.

"Okay, okay~" Yudao Eucalyptus also poured out a bowl, looking at the sky and smiling.

"But having said that, are you really that Zhonggong empress?" Xia Hua suddenly thought of this, and turned to look at her: "How did you get kicked out?"

"Well... this is a very unpleasant topic..." Yu Daoan lowered her head at this moment, and said softly: "Originally, His Highness once suspected that I was a monster because of the words of the minister and those old guys in the Yin and Yang House, but it was mainly because I was I didn't intend to harm him, so this matter will be settled soon." Yu Daoan looked at Xia Hua looking at herself incredulously, and couldn't help smiling bitterly: "But that Iori Ji who appeared suddenly hurt me for a while. Negligence, falling into the water and revealing the current field." In fact, she knew in her heart that the ministers had long colluded with those old guys, and since they couldn't make sense in front of His Highness, they summoned the legendary Iori Hime into the palace.On the surface, it is to purify Kyoto to keep the monsters from all directions away, but in fact it is to get rid of itself.

But I have to say that His Highness has always treated Yu Daoan well, and even doted on her in front of all the concubines.To be honest, if that Iori Hime didn't enter the palace, Yu Daoan would really like to stay in the palace like this and accompany him all the time...

However, no matter how many years have passed between humans and demons—whether it is hundreds of years or thousands of years, they are still different existences...

Yu Daoan showed a helpless wry smile, raised her head to see that Xia Hua didn't express the complicated feelings in her heart: "It was simply defeated by Iori Ji...haha."

"...Is that so." Xia Hua could see the sadness on her face just now, and quickly bumped Yu Dao'an with her tea bowl: "Drink tea, drink tea."

"Ah!! Xia Hua! Yu Daoan!! Don't ignore it!!!" Ming Dou's scream came from behind, Yu Daoan saw Xia Hua's teacup colliding with hers, and couldn't help smiling again : "You are such an interesting kid."

"I'm not a child." With the word "well" on her forehead, Xia Hua quickly took the tea bowl back and drank it down in one gulp.But at this moment, a white paper bird suddenly flew over and stopped in front of their eyes—"This...?" Xia Hua was startled for a moment, and immediately picked up the paper bird and opened it, "..." His sight From the moment it touched the paper, not only did the eyes slowly widen, but the entire face instantly turned pale...

"Ming...Ming Dou..." Next, Xia Hua's voice became extremely distorted, but it sounded a little funny—and Ming Dou and Yu Daoyin also stopped 'rattling' quite sensibly at this time, He turned his head silently.

"Master wants us to go back..."

As soon as the words fell, except for one person and two monsters present in Xia Hua who shouted loudly through the sky with their voices, there were only two words: What! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
