[Comprehensive] Tang Ji

Si son slept well at night.Even if I go to bed late, I wake up feeling refreshed in the morning.

The autumn morning has begun to cool down.The deep mountains and old forests like this make it even more so.

She ran her fingers through her hair, which had always been kept at this length.Speaking of which, except for growing up a little at the beginning, it has never changed since then, and has always maintained the appearance of fifteen or sixteen years old.

However, even if there is only so much, it is enough to make her happy.

Putting on the hood, Sizi walked out of the shrine.

It happened that Hongye came back with a bunch of wild fruits in her arms.

"I knew you were going to wake up, and it was true."

Red Leaf said with a smile.

"Did Sister Hongye go out to pick fruit early in the morning?"

"I woke up early, I didn't have anything to do, so I went to pick some. I haven't eaten the fruits of Dajiangshan yet."

The fruit is a wild fruit whose name is unknown.

Hongye couldn't tell either.

"It must have a name, forget it, let's not guess for now."

Because she is hungry.

She hasn't eaten for a long time.Although ghosts don't need to eat.But she likes to live like a person.

Sizi bit her mouth lightly, and the sweet and sour juice flowed into her mouth in an instant.The dryness of the autumn morning has also been relieved, and the whole body is filled with the nourishment of spring water.

"Really delicious!"

Sizi said, putting one in his bosom: "I have to keep one for Zhikong. I don't know if it will be broken at that time, ah, there are also Qingming and Boya... take it to Mr. Ye Wang..." So Picked up a few more.

Hongye propped her chin, looking at Sizi intently.

Curious about how Sizi and the ghost king Shuten met, even though Sizi didn't seem to know Shuten.

However, this couldn't stop him from being curious about Sizi.

It's not human, but it's not a monster either, it's different from them.

It is even more impossible to be a god.

What kind of existence is she?

"Why does Sister Hongye look at me like this? Am I too greedy?"

Looking at the fruit in her arms, Sizi felt a little sorry.

"Hehehe, because Sizi is so cute. I can't help it~"

As soon as the words fell, she hugged her son and rubbed her cheek.

"Sizi's face is so soft and comfortable..."

Sizi blushed from being rubbed, "Don't be like this, sister Hongye... eh? Why is sister Hongye's chest so flat?"

Hongye let go of her chest, turned her face away, "I've lived for so many years, and my chest is just so flat."

"...I'm sorry, sister Hongye."

Sizi was very embarrassed.

And Hongye felt a chill behind her back, and smiled slyly.

After resting for a while, the two continued on their way.

The journey went smoothly beyond their imagination.

Hongye knew that it was Shuten who was dredging for them.

In today's great rivers and mountains, Shuten-douji dominates.The powerful monsters that suddenly appeared, it didn't take much time to bring all the big and small forces of Dajiangshan under their command.It seems to have become the overlord of the great rivers and mountains.

After hearing about Shuten-douji's reputation, Hongye couldn't bear the curiosity and came to challenge.His defeat will definitely attract more powerful monsters to challenge him.If Jiu Tun Tong wins forever, then the ghost king of Dajiangshan is the real ghost king...

Momiji looked forward to seeing such a scene.

I also want to see how the nobles of Heian-kyo look like fools when they hear about Shuten's reputation!

Sizi didn't know what Hongye was thinking.

Seeing Quan Weng soon was enough to get her excited.

Passed through the big rivers and mountains smoothly, and came to a certain bank of the Arakawa Branch River.

"Is Quan Weng living here?"

"I heard it was true before."

Quan Weng Quan Weng was originally born by the spring, but now that the waterfall is broken, it is not clear whether the Quan Weng is still there.

But no matter what, I still have to take a look, otherwise I will just search for it.

The river flows slowly from top to bottom and flows into the main river.

Sizi held up the hem of her skirt and walked carefully by the river.

On both sides of the river bank, there is yellowed withered grass. Occasionally, a little monster who drinks water comes this time. Seeing her, a stranger, she was frightened and ran away.

The monsters here are really strange.

Once again, Sizi sighed like this.

Facing the river bank, Sizi squatted down and put the fruit aside.He took a handful of river water in his hand and washed his face.

Ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the river, and they continued to spread far away.

After the river surface calmed down slightly, Sizi looked down inadvertently, then was startled by the strange face reflected on the river surface, and sat back habitually.

Sizi was still in shock, and even felt that he was blindsided.

But then, that triumphant laugh told her that she was not mistaken.

"Hahahahaha I'm scared, I'm scared!"

A figure jumped out of the river, only reaching her waist and abdomen. Looking carefully, it was just hunched over.

Its whole petite body was covered by algae, except for a pair of round eyes exposed.Sizi could tell that those round eyes were staring at her.

Just as Sizi was about to speak, the other party shook his body, shaking all the seaweed onto the dry grass.Then, an old man with a back on his back appeared in front of her.

Appearing in front of Si Zi was a hunchbacked old man, the most eye-catching thing was the flowery beard that was dragged to the ground.

Seemingly benevolent, Sizi let go of his fear.

She stood up and patted the grass clippings.

asked curiously:

"Are you a human or a monster?"

Yushou didn't have a fever, but she also felt that there are generally no humans in places like Dajiangshan.

"Well, of course I'm a monster! Just ask if you're afraid?"

A hunchbacked little old man with his waist thrust in and a funny expression on his face.

Looking at Sizi's eyes are full of inexplicable expectations.

"I'm not afraid!"

Si Zi raised his chin slightly and said.

"Hmph! It looks like it's showing off! There is no human who is not afraid of monsters!"

His words seemed to be quite knowledgeable.It seems that he already has a thorough understanding of human beings.

"I didn't try my best!"

Sizi looked at the little old man seriously, "Human beings may be afraid of monsters. But I'm not human."

The little old man obviously didn't believe Sizi's words.

Jumped up, pointed at Sizi and said angrily:

"You lied to monsters! You also said that you are not a human being, and you obviously don't have a monster in your body!"

"What's the smell of demon gas?"

Rather than proving that he is not a human being, Sizi is obviously more interested in the evil spirit in the little old man's mouth.

She leaned over to the little old man, and said with a look of curiosity: "Tell me, what is the smell of evil spirit?"

The little old man thought hard for a while, stroked his beard and shook his head.

"do not know."

Such a straightforward answer.

Si Zi was surprised and said, "I don't know? Then how do you know that I don't have evil spirit?"

The little old man gave her a sideways look.

"If you really want to name an accurate taste, like the smell of grass or the smell of fruit, that's impossible!"

Sizi squatted obediently to the side, looking at the little old man at the same level.

After hearing what the little old man said, she nodded.

A sense of teaching and educating people rose in the little old man's heart.Quite proud.

So the hand touching the beard became more frequent.He imitated the appearance of a human teacher and explained to Sizi:

"The so-called monster aura is not so much an accurate smell, but an aura that belongs exclusively to us monsters. Hey, it's a bit complicated to say. Ordinary humans can't tell the difference between monsters and humans. An onmyoji would be very powerful, he would immediately know if it was a human or a demon!"

"Speaking of which, how does Onmyoji distinguish between humans and monsters?"

The little old man gave her a displeased look, and his son smiled shyly and sat upright.Listen to him continue to preach.

"Some little monsters with insufficient qualifications will not fully turn into human appearances, so they are easy to spot. There are also powerful ones, who will turn into human appearances, and some even deliberately turn into beautiful women to seduce them. The so-called evil spirit is really just our feeling, does it sound mysterious? In fact, I don’t quite understand it, the books of the scholar are always hard to understand..."

"Book man? Who is that? Is it also a monster? Does it sound related to books?"

Hearing the strange name at first, Sizi became curious.

The little old man coughed a few times and said: "It is indeed a monster. It is not necessarily true that it has something to do with books. He likes to travel around to record all kinds of interesting deeds. Some stories about monsters are also learned from human mouths. Yes, isn't it incredible?"

Listening to the little old man's description, it seems to be very similar to a certain monster that Hongye talked about.

"Then where is he now?"

"Who knows? He's always the only one who comes looking for someone."

"I really want to meet him, he seems very interesting."

"Weird human, how can any human want to see a monster?"

Sizi puffed up his face, "I'm no longer human!"

"Oh, then what are you, a monster without evil spirit?"

Sizi didn't like to hear such a title, she thought about it for a while, but to be honest, even she herself didn't know what kind of existence she was.

"Anyway, I died a long, long time ago."

The little old man shook his head, "Strange, strange."

It seems that there is no need to dwell on the topic of evil spirit.

Then Sizi asked the little old man, "Are you a monster who lives here?"

The little old man said: "That's natural. I have lived in it for more than 100 years."

Upon hearing this, Si Zi said happily, "Then do you know Quan Weng?"

The little old man asked suspiciously, "What are you looking for?"

——Sure enough, I know him!

Sizi became even happier, "I want to find medicine for curing diseases. I heard that Quanweng's spring water is very effective, so I came here to ask for medicine."

The little old man sighed, turned his back, and waved his hands, "Let's go, let's go, there is no medicine for healing."

"Wait! Why?"

Si son felt incredible.

……

The little old man said that there was no medicine to cure the disease.

Sizi doesn't believe it.

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. In short, it's gone."

The little old man said helplessly that he wanted her to leave quickly.

Sizi refused to leave, she asked: "Tell me, are you Quan Weng?"

With heavy expressions, the little old man in front of him is Quan Weng.

When asked in this way, the little old man didn't refute, and directly acquiesced.

"Can you tell me why? It took me a long time to come to Dajiangshan."

Quan Weng glanced at her, "It's a bit complicated to say. It's always, I don't have the ability to make potions for healing."

Quan Weng looked very depressed, he lowered his head, shook his head and sighed unknowingly, and occasionally looked in a certain direction, showing a regretful expression.

"Is it because of the broken waterfall?"

"Not just this...because, I'm going to die..."
