[Comprehensive] Onmyoji raised by Cuckoo bird

"In the past few days, has that monster still appeared?" Shi Yu asked seriously, looking away as if nothing had happened.

From the corner of his eyes, the little god called Gu Ji lowered his head in frustration.

She turned around and saw a plate of pastries the size of her body, and immediately walked over angrily, picked one up, and gnawed on it like a hamster.

"Well..." the old woman replied with some hesitation, "After something like that happened, we no longer dared to go to the fields a little further away... However, recently, some children in the village often complained to me, saying A lot of things were lost, and some people got up in the middle of the night and smelled a pungent smell of alcohol... I don’t know if it’s the monster who made trouble.”

"Is no one injured?" Shi Yu asked after thinking for a while.This description does not sound like a vicious monster, Shigure needed more information to decide how to treat that monster.

"Not really." The old lady shook her head and said, "However, now everyone is afraid to go to the fields far away to farm. If this continues, the harvest time will be missed!"

She sighed, picked up the teacup and took a sip, her old hands habitually stretched out to the place where the pastry was placed.

Being dizzy with old eyes, she didn't notice the pastry that was missing a hole and was still a little hanging in the air. When she reached out, she directly picked up the whole plate, put it in front of Shi Yu, and pushed it forward.

"Come on, Master Onmyoji, please don't be polite." She greeted him attentively.

The little god in Shi Yu's silent plate, who was pressed down by the pastry with a confused face, couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Thank you." As she spoke, she picked up a piece casually, and picked out the little guy who was covered in glutinous rice flour and put it aside. The wheat spike knots look really delicious.

"..." Gu Ji looked up at Shi Yu in a daze, opened her mouth, but didn't make the slightest sound.

"No thanks, no thanks. After all, I need to trouble you about this matter." The old woman said with a smile.

"Then, I will go to investigate tonight." Shi Yu thought for a while, and asked the old woman, "Can you find someone to lead me the way?"

"Ah? This..." The old man looked stunned, "Are you in a hurry? Troubled you to come all the way, you'd better take a rest first? Of course, the old man will prepare the most comfortable room for you."

"No, thank you, but it's better to solve this kind of thing as soon as possible." Shi Yu tactfully refused. In fact, she slept all the way until noon today before starting her journey. Although she was indeed a little tired on the journey, she happened to be the most excited right now. How could she be willing to take a rest at such a time, coupled with the novelty of exterminating the demon herself for the first time?

Under Shi Yu's repeated insistence, the old man quickly compromised.She called a tall and strong man and told him to take Shi Yu to the nearby fields to see, and also to go to places a little further away.

Shi Yu clearly saw that man's trembling legs after the old lady gave an irresistible order... Hey, take a closer look, isn't this the guy who was so frightened by her before that he dropped his hoe?

"Is this person alright?" Shi Yu couldn't help asking suspiciously.Although I felt a little impolite, I still expressed my willingness to change people.

"Hehe, don't worry. Juro is the bravest man in our Karasuma village." The old lady laughed, "He was the one who caught that monster back then! If Master Onmyoji wants to find the trace of the monster, Juro is the most reliable candidate."

"I hope." Shi Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at the old man with a new look.The person who caught the monster, that is to say... was this the man who wounded the monster with a trap and planned to kill it?Isn't it really provocative to ask him to go out and lead the way?Or as bait?

Under the watchful eyes of the villagers, Juro left with a lantern and took Shigu with a gloomy expression.

Gu Ji stood on top of the crowd, tilted her head to look at their leaving figures, thought for a while, her whole body glowed with a soft white light, the invisible wind lifted her body, and followed Shi Yu's figure away .

In the dark night, dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the mountains and forests were completely dark, with only a faint lantern shining in front of us.

Shigure followed Juro, and asked as he walked, "Juro, I heard you've seen that monster? What does it look like?"

"Master Onmyoji, I have no memory at all." Juro looked back at her, and said with a wry smile, "If I remembered, I must have told my mother-in-law a long time ago. But every time I recall it, my mind goes blank .”

"That's right." Shi Yu fell into silence.

"Master Onmyouji, this is where the monster was caught." Suddenly, Juro stopped and said in a trembling voice.

Shi Yu walked out from behind him, took the lantern in his hand, and walked into the scorched land in front of him without any scruples.

"There are some animal traps and traps on the ground that are not clear, please be careful!" Juro reminded hurriedly, standing on the edge of the field, not daring to take a step.

Shi Yu became more careful when she heard the words, she bent down and lowered the lantern, her eyes scanned the ground inch by inch below, and soon, she found a strange set of footprints.

Obviously not human.

The round outline, small size, and sharp claw marks... This made Shi Yu immediately think of the paw prints of the Nine Lives Cat... Felidae?

Cats, fire-breathing monsters...?what is it?

Shigure pondered, and retreated to Juro's side again.

"Let's go to other places to see... What was originally planted on this land?" Shi Yu asked thoughtfully.

"This." Juro thought for a while and replied, "It's wheat."

"Is there any place to grow wheat nearby?" Shi Yu asked.

Juro nodded: "Yes, it's not far away, I'll take you there."

But this time before reaching their destination, they ran into trouble.

A gust of cold wind blew over without warning, and the ordinary lantern was extinguished almost instantly.The eyes of the two suddenly darkened.

"Ah!!" Juro screamed, waving his hands in the air indiscriminately, and after grabbing Shigure's sleeve, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw, and he would never let go, "Onmyoji grown ups!!"

"It seems that he was actively approached." Shi Yu took out the spell from his sleeve, whispered the spell, and unfolded a blue arc-shaped barrier on the spot.In an instant, surging winds swept across both sides of the barrier, but within the barrier, everything was calm.

"That's amazing! As expected of an Onmyoji!" Juro's eyes lit up, and he looked curiously and in awe at the translucent enchantment that faintly glowed with blue light, and even wanted to reach out and touch it.

"Don't move around." Shi Yu lightly advised, and waited intently for the attack that might be coming.But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement on the other side.

"...Did you escape?" Shi Yu frowned slightly, and whispered into the air, "White Wolf, do you remember its breath?"

"Yes, Shigure-sama." The figure of the white wolf emerged from the air behind her, the tip of his nose with a little fluff twitched slightly, and his sharp eyes were fixed on the front.

Wolves have a keen sense of smell when catching prey.

"Hey hey!" Juro backed away in a hurry, looking at the monster that suddenly appeared with horrified eyes.

"Hey, why don't you ask the concubine? Obviously the concubine can find the trace of that little monster." Qing Xingdeng snorted coldly, and appeared on the stage without waiting for Shi Yu's call.It seems that she was jealous of Shi Yu's differential treatment. As soon as she appeared on the stage, she released her monster power resentfully. The lanterns under her feet were full of blue light, and her snowy skin was also glowing with blue light. Her eyes were sad and blurred. The posture is seductive and ghostly, just like a...

"Ghost!!!" Shiro rolled his eyes, almost fainting from fright.Ordinary human beings cannot appreciate the charm of Qing Xingdeng, because that beauty itself is close to death.

Shi Yu glanced at him speechlessly, and comforted him, "Can you see Qingxing Lantern? It seems that you also have spiritual power. Don't worry, these two shikigami are just my shikigami, and they won't harm anyone. "

Normally, humans cannot see monsters.Of course, sometimes monsters will still be seen when they show up on purpose. For example, the white wolf chose to show up on purpose in order to intimidate everyone at the entrance of Karasuma Village.But the situation is different now. If it was the old woman who couldn't even see the god she enshrined before, she should only be able to see Shiyu talking to herself.

Speaking of which, he is the only one in the whole village who has really seen a monster and dealt with it.

I really don't know whether these are good or bad for this person, but most of them are still bad things.but……

Shi Yu removed the barrier, glanced at him, and said, "Leave the rest to me, you can go back first."

"Eh? But..." Juro's expression was obviously moved, but after looking back at the dark mountain road, he hesitated again...

"If it's lighting, don't worry." Shi Yu tilted his head and called, "Lantern Ghost!"

"Aw!" The Lantern Ghost appeared on the stage. Different from the cold light of Qingxing Lantern, its flame is always warm and bright, and the orange-red jumping light makes people feel warm and hopeful in their hearts.

"Wow! Is this a monster turned into a lantern?" When Juro saw the lantern ghost, he didn't feel very scared, but showed a curious look.

"I'll let the Lantern Ghost illuminate you, follow it back." Shi Yu told the Lantern Ghost, it wobbled up and down, circled around Juro again, and quickly went smoothly. Floating back the same way.

"Hey, wait for me!" Juro hurriedly chased after him.

"Next, let's go." Shi Yu looked at the white wolf, she nodded, and quickly walked to the front to lead the way.

Qing Xingdeng pouted, and stayed where he was a little angry.

"Qingxing Lantern~ Hurry up and give us a light." Shi Yu's voice followed the white wolf, while turning his head and beckoning to her.

"Huh~" Qing Xingdeng turned his head to one side and didn't look at her, but the lantern under his seat floated over, "Let my concubine come to illuminate? It's a good thing you thought of it."

As she spoke, she amplified the light of the running lamp, and the bright blue light cast a gloomy light on the surrounding woodland for a moment, making people wonder if they had entered the Netherworld by mistake.

"I can't help it, the lantern ghost isn't here." Shi Yu smiled at her, "I'm sorry to trouble you~"

"Since you've said that..." Qing Xingdeng blinked his glazed pupils, and raised the corners of his mouth reservedly, "Remember to reward me~"

While they were talking, the white wolf had already found a cave following the scent.She stood at the entrance of the hole covered by weeds and vines, covering her nose with some discomfort.

"Well, what's this smell? Wine?" Even Shi Yu could smell the choking smell wafting out.It was different from the ones she had tasted at Ye Wang and Hua Piao. Just smelling the smell made her feel dizzy. Is this really wine?

"Who are you?!"

At this moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps at the entrance of the cave, and an old voice asked.

Shi Yu raised his head suspiciously, only to see a fat civet cat with a huge tonnage coming out of the hole. It looked down at them with a fat belly.

The size is not right... Is this really a little monster making trouble in the fields?I'm afraid the whole field will be flat if you step on it?

Seeing that Shi Yu didn't respond for a long time, the monster roared angrily: "I am the master of all ghosts, the king of ten thousand demons Shuten-douji!! Presumptuous mortals, hurry up and back down!"

Shi Yu: "..." Hehe.

Have I never seen Shuten-douji? ! ! !
