One Hundred Ways to Beat the Ghost King [Onmyoji]

The shock and joy on his face were stunned by this response, Jiu Tun's face gradually softened, but still revealed a trace of helplessness.

He subconsciously wanted to reach out, but the child's face was buried tightly on the deer's neck. His eyes caught sight of the sharp nails on the sharp claws that still contained the blood of various monsters. Jiu Tun's fingertips shrank slightly, and he withdrew his hand suddenly. .

There was a hint of embarrassment in the silent atmosphere.

Seeing his lost eyes, Xiaolu patted the child's back lightly, pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Qingqing's serious injury has not healed, and she is still cultivating in the root of the biluo tree and has not woken up."

Hearing the words "severely injured and unhealed", Jiu Tun came back to his senses and his heart tightened again, and he set his eyes on the intertwined brown roots.

He wanted to approach several roots to touch and feel the existence of Qingshui, but the little deer stood in front of him with a tense expression, "Sorry... I can't disturb her for the time being."

Jiu Tun's figure froze in place, his slightly drooping eyelashes blocked his eyes, making it impossible to see the emotion in them.

"Thank you for taking out those monsters just now. Since Qingqing hasn't woken up yet, you might as well...go to the river bank to clean yourself first."

Jiu Tun understood the other party's intentions, nodded, and silently quickly left the giant tree territory. The soft voice of the deer behind him was faintly visible, "Good boy, don't be afraid...he is not a bad person..."

Following the smell and sound of the lake water to the edge of the lake, Jiu Tun squatted down and slowly saw his own reflection clearly in the mirror-like lake water.

Unkempt and frizzy red hair, bloodshot eyes that look hideous and terrifying, and an already resolute face that is even more imposing and inhuman because of its expressionless face.

Gently closing his eyes, he stretched his hands into the lake, scooped up a handful of water, and carefully cleaned all the blood on his hands, body and even his face.As a result, the nearby lake water turned pale red, and the monster's body froth remaining between the nails rushed into the lake water, attracting fish to scramble for food.

After washing for a long time, the strong bloody smell on his body finally faded a lot.

Jiu Tun took a deep breath, and walked towards the giant tree again with complicated and unspeakable emotions.

The remains of monsters around the giant tree's territory have almost disappeared. When Jiu Tun stepped in, he saw the corpse of the last monster dragged into the ground by the roots drilled out of the soil, and became the nutrient of the Piluo tree. Only the demon blood interlaced with blue and dark red remained on the ground.

The daughter, wearing ill-fitting clothes much larger than her body, was sitting on the ground beating a red cowhide snare drum with a branch, and three weasels and the fawn were sitting beside her. Cheating and laughing.

Standing in the distance, Jiu Tun quietly watched her stand up with some difficulty, and suddenly pounced on the root system of the giant tree, caressing it with her two little hands indiscriminately, and still babbling.

Heart suffocated slightly, Jiu Tun buried the emotions in his heart, adjusted the expression on his face, raised his steps and walked over.

Feeling the familiar evil spirit approaching, she turned her head suddenly, a trace of fear subconsciously flashed in her amethyst-like eyes, but there was no panicked expression on her face.

Jiu Tun's heart moved slightly, and he leaned towards her in an unhurried manner, and slowly sat beside her, staring at her closely.

The daughter's skin is soft and fair, and her black and beautiful black hair is the same as her mother's, but her eyebrows and eyes are very imposing, as if she is full of herself, as if carved out of a mold.

The child was also looking at him curiously at this moment, after washing off the dust and blood on his face, the lines of Jiu Tun's tough face softened a lot under the light red sunlight, making him a completely different person from the terrifying appearance before.

Xu Shi was a little tired from standing for too long, she sat down on the ground and fell back into Xiaolu's arms, rubbed her eyes and yawned.

It was only then that Jiu Tun noticed that it was dusk at some point in the sky, and the setting sun shone through the dense forest on the grass, mottled by the sun, and the forest leaves were faint.

Xiao Lu skillfully hugged her and adjusted the most comfortable position for her.The child spit out ghost flames inadvertently today, the demon power was exhausted, and the exhaustion from her body soon made her fall asleep peacefully in Xiaolu's arms.

Seeing that his daughter had fallen asleep, Jiu Tun's tense body completely relaxed, and he said with a hoarse voice, "When was this child... born?"

"This child is only six days old." Xiao Lu answered while examining the other party.

Jiu Tun is silent, Shimizu said that her pregnancy period is about three or four months, and the child is less than two months from conception to birth, the process must be extremely dangerous.

Thinking of the news that Arakawa sent the fish in the sea to tell him that Shimizu escaped alone from the bottom of the sea and was dying, his heart was tightly grasped by a big hand again, and he couldn't breathe.

"Big monster! Who are you and where do you come from?" Ichitaro gnawed on a pycnogenol in his arms, his eyes kept rolling around Jiu Tun.

Seeing that Jiu Tun fell into his own emotions and remained silent, Xiao Lu also gestured again: "May I ask your Excellency...?"

"The wine swallow boy."

Hearing this name, Xiao Lu was taken aback, and his expression became serious.

Shuten-douji, even though he is far away in Kagoshima, Kyushu, has heard of this overlord among the ghost clan. How did Shimizu get involved with this king of ghosts?

Ertaro exclaimed, "Ahhh! Is it the legendary Shuten-douji? The leader of the ghost tribe far away in the mountains and rivers?"

"Keep your voice down! You're going to wake up the little girl!" Santaro rushed forward to cover Ertaro's mouth, snatched his fruit and stuffed it into his cheek.

The light of the setting sun was reddish with a touch of gray, which was a sign of rain.

Xiao Lu's eyes were quietly on Jiu Tun's face, and he almost never took his eyes away from the child. He noticed the tenderness and complexity in his eyes, and the resistance caused by anger dissipated a little.

It can be seen that the other party cares about this child very much.

"Dajiang Mountain is so far away from the Forest of Yinghuo, what happened to make Qingshui hurt so badly?" Xiaolu asked in a low voice, "When she came here, she was in a very bad condition."

At that moment, he almost thought that the other party was dead.

"Sorry." Jiu Tun closed his eyes, and the hoarse voice sounded again, "It's my fault, I didn't protect the two of them well."

"Ah... what does this mean?" Ichitaro was stunned, looked at him puzzled, and asked speculatively, "Are you fighting against a very powerful monster?"

If it was an opponent who could rival Shuten-douji, how terrifying it would be.

Shuten remained silent, and the air froze for a moment.

The last ray of sunlight also hid in the clouds, and the fireflies and wood ghosts in the forest came lightly, lighting up the dark forest again.

There was a pleasant sound of tambourine not far away. It was the Butterfly Fine Yarn Weaving who came every night as promised to put the child to sleep. There was a trace of panic and fear in her voice. "It scared me to death. I didn't dare to go near the Piluo tree all day long, thinking that I would be eaten by spiders! Fortunately, you are all fine."

"Huh? Did she fall asleep today?" Saori was a little surprised. Because this little monster was born prematurely and didn't have a mother by her side, it would be very restless to sleep every night, so Xiao Lu specially invited her to coax him like water.

Xiao Lu stretched out a finger between his lips and made a silent gesture, and said in a low voice, "She's tired today."

After the words fell, light rain began to fall in the forest, and the air became slightly cool and clammy.

Although the Butterfly Spirit was curious as to why there was a powerful strange monster here, she was still worried that it would wake up the child, so she obediently did not speak again.

"It's raining! Let's go into the house!" Santaro picked up the pycnogenol fruit on the ground and called everyone to shelter from the rain.

Xiao Lu also picked up the child gently, and said to Jiu Tun, "It's raining, come into the house with me."

The gigantic giant tree suddenly made a sound of sparse leaves shaking, and the thick and long branches almost hanging on the ground behind it suddenly opened, revealing a small tree house connected with the body of the giant tree Come.

Jiu Tun followed quickly, Xiao Lu gently placed the child on the ground and covered her with a bedding, and the three Kamaitachi brothers who had been digging a hole all day also fell asleep obediently lying beside her.

Seeing that the child was sleeping soundly, Jiu Tun reached out and gently stroked the broken hair on her forehead, Xiaolu saw it and didn't stop him.

Then Jiu Tun stood up and walked to the door, and said to him sideways: "Thank you for taking care of me these days, I will go outside to accompany her."

"The enchantment here is very weak, you guys have a good rest, there will be nothing wrong with me guarding here." After the words fell, he left the tree house alone.

The light rain outside gradually became heavier and heavier, and all the dirty blood stains on the grass in the distance were washed away, and the original bloody smell disappeared without a trace.

With the huge canopy of the giant tree as a cover, only a few raindrops occasionally fell on Shuten's face under the shade.In the darkness surrounded by fireflies, he took a few steps to sit at the root of the giant tree and leaned his head lightly.

Taking a deep breath, Jiu Tun slowly closed his eyes, and stroked up with a big hand, feeling the long-lost familiar aura that he missed so much.

Qing Shui in the root of the tree suddenly opened her eyes. She couldn't hear the sound from the outside world, and could only sense the monster energy from the outside world moving away or approaching.

Today's chaotic and numerous streams of demonic energy have been surrounding the giant tree and never left, making her heart clenched tightly, and she could only push the demonic sword out of Bi Luoshu's body.

Later, another extremely familiar evil spirit quickly approached, wiping out all other evil spirits in the outside world, and she finally let go of her concern.At the same time, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

Shimizu can feel it, it's the wine swallowing.

At this moment, he is very close at hand.

The Biluoshu swallowed up the corpses of many monsters as nourishment, and her monster power recovery speed was also much faster. Now she can control her body swing.

She stretched out a hand to stick to it, as if she could touch each other.

The familiar evil spirit accompanied him gently as if it had been for several days and nights, making Jiu Tun involuntarily let go of his defenses and closed his eyes heavily.

No one knows how many days and nights he has not slept.Even when powerful monsters are exhausted, at this moment, Qing Shui's familiar monster aura lingers beside him, calming his tense and hesitant heart, and relieving the fatigue of his limbs and bones.

Hearing the sound of the falling rain hitting the leaves, Shuten gradually fell into a light sleep amidst such loud and quiet sounds.

The dark clouds in the sky completely blocked the moonlight, and the rain seemed to never end.

The temperature around him was icy cold, and there was a faint fragrance of soil and flowers in the air. After an unknown period of time, he seemed to feel a soft and warm hand touching his face.

Gently opened his eyes, the dim picture in front of him slowly became clear from blur.

The face that made him think about it day and night, and haunted his dreams, appeared in front of his eyes. His green eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky, and they were as beautiful as a dream.

In a daze, Jiu Tun thought it was an illusion caused by too much longing, but when the big hand covered the hand on the side of his face, the warm touch told him that it was not an illusion.

His pupils shrank slightly, and in the next second, Qing Shui threw himself into his arms, "I knew it, you would definitely find this place soon."

The cold and jade-like voice carried a special gentleness, and the familiar voice penetrated into the ears, making Jiu Tun almost want to cry.

Tightly embed her in his arms, Jiu Tun's hoarse and distorted voice sounded in the rain, "Sorry, I failed to protect you again. And... our child..."

Qing Shui got up from his chest and looked up at him, a drop of hot water suddenly fell on her face.Under the dim firefly, another raindrop fell through the leaves and wet her and his. It was hard to tell whether it was tears or rain.

"No..." Qingshui's eyes flickered, and he smiled at him, "You arrived before Kusanagi."

Jiu Tun's bloodshot eyes were still reddened, and under the cover of the night, tears slipped down pretending to be rain, and the self-blame and guilt that could not be concealed in his hoarse and shifted tone, "I am the incompetent person, said Okay, I will protect you for the rest of my life, and I will break my promise again."

Seeing this arrogant and unruly man in the past crying uncontrollably in front of her with a haggard look, Qing Shui felt unspeakable emotion in his heart, and leaned over to kiss the rain and teardrops off his face.

Burying his face in the other's chest and embracing him again, Qing Shui took a deep breath and said, "I promised you that even when you are not around, you will protect yourself and your child."

When there is no alcoholism, she will also guard her children firmly.

"Look, aren't my daughter and I all right now?"

Jiu Tun shook her head violently, the strength of the tight grip made her feel a little painful, "In this life, I will never leave your side again, not even for a day."

Stay by her side, never leave.

"Drunk..."

Under the rain, Xiaolu, who sensed the movement of the giant tree, walked outside the door and stood on the simple wooden steps. He looked at the two monsters hugging each other from a distance, and he was greatly relieved.

*****

After the rain, the blue sky was bright, the blood on the grass was washed away, and the dew on the flowers and leaves and fine grass gave off a dazzling light under the refraction of the sun.

"It turns out that this is the case...the matter is indeed very difficult." Fawn sat bent in the cabin, frowning slightly.

Santaro called out impatiently: "Doesn't that mean that the sword will be found here soon?"

Qing Shui sensed the sword mark in his soul, opened his eyes and replied: "I can feel that he has been standing still in the Arakawa River before, and he started slowly approaching here yesterday morning."

"Don't worry." Jiu Tun said in a low voice, he put his big hand on the Tian Congyun Sword at his waist, and said coldly, "When that guy meets us, it will be his death."

It was only then that Shimizu found the sword that was exactly the same as Kusanagi on his waist, and he was shocked, "Did you bring the real Kusanagi sword?"

"I couldn't find where you were hidden before, so I had to ask Qingming for help, and I got the Amazono Cloud Sword."

Although Jiu Tun's tone was light, Qing Shui also knew from the unhealed sword wound in his abdomen that this journey must be extremely difficult, and a tinge of distress arose in his heart.

Sensing Shimizu's gaze, Jiu Tun said softly again: "Don't worry, it's just a little effort."

"If we are heading back to Dajiangshan right now, we will definitely meet Kusanagi halfway in this direction." Shimizu frowned deeply, "I don't know how his sword is tempered, Kusanagi once said, On the day when his sword body emerges, even the real Kusanagi sword will not be able to swallow him back to his body."

"Then just cut it off." Jiu Tun's eyes turned cold, and there was a tinge of murderous intent in his heart, "I have already communicated with the stupid dog and they will meet us on the way."

Qing Shui fell silent suddenly. If she hid in the courtyard of the system, she would be able to avoid the perception of the sword mark.But in that way, Kusanagi Sword will definitely follow the sensed direction all the way south to find here, and then the monsters in the Yingzhao Forest will be in danger.

She couldn't do that, and she couldn't leave Shuten and her daughter.

After she recovered from her injuries, her demonic power soared, but the giant tree almost exhausted all its demonic power because of giving birth to her. At this moment, the enchantment here is useless. If it weren't for the intimidation of Jiu Tun Sha Ren's demonic aura, there would have been monsters that were already ready to move. .

"Little deer... I can't stay here and bring danger to you, and it's no longer safe under the Piluo tree." Qing Shui bit his lip, glanced at the three quiet and obedient sickle weasels, and said, "Why don't you and this A few sickle weasels will follow us back to Dajiangshan for now, shall we?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lu was startled slightly, Jiu Tun also frowned and looked over.

"Sorry, it's all because of me and the child..."

"Qingqing, there is no need to blame yourself, that is my decision." Xiao Lu interrupted her apologetic words, and said in a gentle voice, "Besides, Biluoshu is only temporarily weak, and monsters like us have very strong vitality. In a few years, the Piluo tree will gradually regain its luxuriance as it continues to grow."

The root system of the Piluo tree spreads over half of the Forest of Yinghuo, and it is not so easy to wither it.

Speaking of this, he sighed, "It's just that you are right, my ability is indeed not enough to guard this place alone. However, before the Piluo tree is fully recovered, there will be no more fruit on the tree. , those monsters can’t get what they want.”

Qing Shui's eyes lit up, and he slightly raised his voice and said, "Then are you willing to follow us back to Dajiangshan? Until the Biluoshu recovers in the future."

Xiaolu smiled and nodded, glanced at the sleeping child from the corner of the eye, with a gentle look on his face and heart.

"Since Xiaolu also decides to leave temporarily, then our three brothers will also go!" The three brothers Ichitaro looked at each other and said in unison.

The noisy voice fell, and the sleeping child beside him was also woken up, rubbing his sleepy eyes and slowly sat up.

As if feeling another more gentle and familiar demon power, the child slightly opened his eyes wide, looked in the direction of Qingshui, his eyes lit up, stretched out his arms and called out, "Yeah——"

Even if it was the first time they met, she could immediately feel that the breath was the mother who worked hard to nurture and protect her for a long time.

Qing Shui's eyes softened, and he reached out to hold her in his arms, "My baby..."

Pressing a kiss on her daughter's face, Shimizu's expression was full of emotion. Being a mother is really an indescribable and wonderful experience.

Although the child had only been in her womb for less than two months, the hardships and hardships during the delivery were no less than the tenth month of pregnancy. She still remembered the feeling of giving birth to her daughter in the giant tree.

Xiaolu couldn't help but deepened his smile a lot, "It's great, I'm finally reunited with my parents. I don't know what name I want to give the child?"

"Qi Luo." Jiu Tun looked at his daughter steadily, his eyes filled with tenderness, "She is the only princess in my country."

"It's really a very suitable name." Xiao Lu said warmly, and his eyes were on Qi Luo's delicate and beautiful face.

Looking at the sticky daughter in Shimizu's arms, Jiu Tun couldn't help but smile, and couldn't wait to reach out to hug her, "My uncle's daughter, let me hug her!"

Qi Luo looked at him with an unclear expression, then turned around and opened her arms towards Xiaolu happily, as if she wanted to throw herself into his arms, "Father, father, father..."

In Qi Luo's perception, this humanoid deer-body monster has the same demonic power as her mother, and is exactly the same as the aura that gave birth to her, not to mention that the other party has the same color of green eyes as her mother, so she instinctively picked up the deer. Became a father.

She didn't seem to be able to fully learn to speak, but this call was enough to make Jiu Tun's face change drastically.

The air froze in an instant, Xiaolu pursed his lips, neither hugging nor not hugging.

Qing Shui held his daughter's hand in his hand with embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, Xiaolu..."

The author has something to say: I was wrong, I originally wanted to write 8k characters, but I took a nap too much...
