[Onmyoji] There are fox sui sui

"Hey, what are you two young people doing going so far away?" the old man driving the car asked.

The pair of young men and women sitting in the car were Ah Xuan and Yaohu who left from Kyoto. Hearing the old man's question, Ah Xuan replied with a smile: "Some of the family's elders have their origins in it."

When it comes to family matters, although the answer is vague, it is not easy to get into the details. The old man did not have much doubt, and continued to say: "I think so, seeing that you two have extraordinary conversation, I am afraid that you are not the children of ordinary people. If there is no reason, why would you come to us?" In a remote place."

Ah Xuan smiled: "No matter how unusual it is, it's still difficult to walk an inch away from the border of our house. If it weren't for your kindness and willingness to give us a ride, we wouldn't be able to find our way, right?"

The old man smiled when he heard the words: "The little girl is young, but she can talk, just like my granddaughter, she always makes people's hearts go wild."

Ah Xuan continued, "I heard from you earlier that you are going to see your granddaughter, right?"

"Yes." When he mentioned his children and grandchildren, the old man smiled from ear to ear, and flowers bloomed in the layers of wrinkles, "My granddaughter is going to give birth. That child has been raised by my side since he was a child, and it seems like yesterday when he was a little older." Nah."

"It's a great blessing for four generations to live under the same roof." Ah Xuan praised.

When there is a happy event in the family, it is natural that someone is looking forward to the icing on the cake. The old man grinned his toothless mouth and said excitedly: "No, such a blessing would not be exchanged for a thousand dollars!"

……

A few hours ago, Ah Xuan and Yaohu came to a village and asked a group of people, but no one was willing to guide them, which made Ah Xuan somewhat helpless.

You know, there is no secret method in Onmyoji that can travel thousands of miles. At most, it can increase the speed and find the direction.As a monster, Yaohu can take her with him, but in that case, he has to change back to his original form and ride away.

This is of course impossible.Not to mention that Yaohu disagreed, it felt wrong just to make Ah Xuan want to ride on him.

So they walked like ordinary people along the way. In this era without airplanes and high-speed rail, they walked at full speed for nearly two months, and finally arrived at this village.

Even though it was the nearest village to their destination, it was still too far away, and there were very few families with ox carts. Even though they said they would pay, they were still turned away.

Although they can also choose to walk, the distance is too far, and the road is tiring, and the fox is nothing, but as a human being, Ah Xie is a bit overwhelmed. It is definitely better to arrive earlier than to sleep in the wild in a mess.

Just when Ah Xuan had resigned to his fate and planned to walk, an old man passing by took the initiative to talk to him, saying that he had to drive past the neighborhood for something, and although he couldn't take them to their destination, he could still hitch a ride.

So there was the opening scene.

The old man driving the car glanced at the fox who was sitting silently by the side, and felt somewhat guilty in his heart.

This young man's appearance is really exquisite, with black eyebrows and red lips, looking bright, although his expression is faint at the moment, there is a romantic and freehand expression in his eyebrows and eyes, even if he doesn't say a word, it's hard for people to ignore his presence, can't help it Look frequently.

And the girl next to him, although not as good-looking as the young man, is still fresh and beautiful. At first glance, she doesn't realize how amazing she is, but the more she looks at her, the more she feels her temperament is calm and graceful, with a kind of jade-like gentleness.

Although she was dressed plainly, such an appearance and temperament were not something that ordinary people could raise.

It's a bit strange that two people like this, without any luggage, are going to a place that the locals have never heard of.

Normally, the old man might not hit them up, but it happened that his granddaughter was about to give birth, and when he saw the busy and troubled look of Ah Xuan, who was about the same age as his granddaughter, he was moved for a while, so he took the initiative to talk to them and took the initiative to chat with them. them.

Sitting on the bullock cart, the lush trees in front of you gradually move back, and the trees in the forest are like waves, one after another, stretching endlessly.

The sea of ​​clouds in the sky and the sea of ​​forests on the ground complement each other quite well.

The wheels are turning gruntly, the road the bullock cart is traveling on is not smooth, and the angle of view is bumping up and down. It is reasonable to say that the riding experience is not good. Maybe it is because of a ride with the wind, so I can take a rest for a while, and feel comfortable and leisurely for no reason.

With the shadow of the whirling trees in her eyes, Ah Xuan suddenly said: "Old man, I think this road is also green and green, and there are no dangerous peaks and cliffs. Why are the two nearest villages separated by hundreds of miles? It is too difficult to travel. Alright."

The old man replied casually: "Well, I don't know very well, it seems to have been like this since I was a child. However, our two villages are close to the river. Although it is inconvenient to communicate with each other, daily life is no problem."

"Is there no river in this mountain forest? I remember that the positions of the two villages can almost be connected in a straight line."

"It's hard for me." The old man narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "Let's think about it, the same river passes by our two villages, why doesn't the mountain in the middle pass by this river?"

The old people have lived here for generations, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to drink water. No one has thought about why the river does not pass through which places.

It is rare to show a blank look at the place where he grew up.

Unexpectedly, Yaohu said lazily: "Why do you ask so many questions? There are so many things you can't figure out in the world, why don't you ask them one by one?"

"That's right, I just said it casually, don't worry about it."

The fox had been silent before, but at this moment he suddenly interrupted, the old man lost his train of thought, and after listening to Ah Xie's soft-spoken words, he stopped thinking about it, and put the problem behind him in a blink of an eye.

Ah Xuan and Yaohu who were behind looked at each other, and they both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

The bullock cart creaked and drove for a while, the sun gradually moved westward, and the rays of the sun dyed the clouds like a dream. When passing a certain valley, the old man stopped the car.

"Girl, this neighborhood should be closer to where you are going, just get off here."

"Okay, thank you for giving us a ride." Ah Yuan and Yaohu got out of the car together, and thanked the old man with a slight bow. The old man shook the braid in his hand and drove away.

Seeing the old man leave, the faint smile on Ah Xuan's face quickly disappeared.

"Your uncle is really ruthless." Yaohu said sarcastically on the side.

"I don't think he regards me as his nephew." After saying this, Ah Xie quickly took out the dagger, ready to cut down the grass and trees blocking the way, and began to climb the mountain.

Yaohu spread his hands and followed.

When the task was first handed, the two of them analyzed the simple task overview.

It was written on the thin piece of paper that a suspicious evil spirit was found on a certain mountain in this place, let them investigate it.

Although the content was brief, there was a suspicious point on it that made them very concerned.

If a suspicious evil spirit is really found, someone needs to be sent to investigate, and it should be in a certain area, with a certain range. However, the location on the mission is accurate to which mountain top, and it is specially marked as the top of the mountain.

At the beginning, their judgment was that this was a mission in the name of investigation, but in fact they wanted to send something, and that thing was mixed in the pile of magic weapons that He Mao Baoxian had given Ah Xuan in advance.There should really be a great demon here, and He Mao Baoxian is quite familiar with this great demon, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the owner of Yin Yang, who stays at home in the capital, knows this place as well as his back garden.

Before setting off, they checked the things He Mao Baoxian sent, but found nothing.

And when they came to the field, they felt that their guesses were all fed to the dogs.

From the moment he entered the village, Ah Xuan used his spiritual vision to check, but he didn't catch any evil spirits in the village.

Along the way, getting closer and closer to the destination, it stands to reason that he should have sensed some clues, but even the fox, who is good at wind attribute spells and is a monster, did not sense any special aura.

Not to mention the evil spirit, the place they are going to can't even smell the popularity.

This is the reason for their dignified expressions, this place is too clean.

Even if the big monster is good at hiding the aura, there should be some other big and small monsters in the mountains where there are few people.

Can be empty here.

After a short exchange of pleasantries, Ah Xuan learned from the old man that the river was diverted from its original direction outside these mountains, made a big detour, and then returned to its original direction.

They have seen the map along the way in the towns on the way. This river is a big river, and the road is basically smooth and straight.

It's like the originally generally straight river channel suddenly distorted when trying to bypass something, which is extremely unnatural.

It so happened that among the mountains, there was the mountain they were looking for.

Boldly guess, they are going to find the big monster. He is a ruthless character with the ability to divert rivers. A big monster of this level is considered terrifying even among the known famous monsters, not to mention that there are no legends about this place at all. , It is impossible to judge what kind of monster it is.

However, the elderly in their seventies feel that the landforms are commonplace, and it will take at least one or two hundred years.

Just thinking about it.

They didn't understand what He Mao Baoxian was planning to let them do!

The simple mission overview was full of vague information except for one location that was too precise.

How to discover the evil spirit, what to "investigate", and how to deal with it after the investigation, there are none of the things that will be mentioned in these routine tasks.The lack of information in their hands directly caused them to be unable to make adequate preparations, so they could only honestly go to the above location to check and adapt accordingly.

What a dear teacher!

The mountain road was difficult to walk. The two walked on the mountain for several hours and turned over a mountain. The sun followed them and set from the mountain, and the warm moon hung high in the sky.

Wiping the sweat off her face, Ah Xie was about to move forward, but her footsteps were a bit shallow, she didn't take a steady step, her eyes blurred, and she almost fell.

Thanks to the demon fox who grabbed her arm in time.

"Stop today, it's already late, and you can't go far with your tired body." After she stood still, Yaohu let go of her hand, "The closer you get to that place, the more you need to recharge your batteries."

Hearing what Yaohu said, Ah Xuan felt that it made sense, so she nodded in agreement.

Climbing a mountain is a test of physical strength, not to mention that since dusk, in order to see things clearly, Ah Lie has been continuously sending spiritual power to the lighting magic weapon, which consumes a lot of energy.

She only dared to walk at night in the deep mountains because she was not afraid of wild beast attacks.

Deciding to rest, they set up a temporary barrier on the spot, raised a fire, and each rested.

As soon as she lay down, Ah Xuan leaned on the small cloth bag, almost falling asleep after touching the pillow.

The demon fox is sitting under a tree. As a monster, he does not need to sleep regularly like humans. Even if he does not sleep for a few days and nights, he will not feel tired at all. The journey of more than a month has not been a big deal for him. Mental burden.

He is used to eating and sleeping in the open, and he can stay in a hotel along the way, and he is in pretty good condition.

What surprised him was Ah Xuan. Although he knew that she was an onmyoji and would be better than ordinary girls in all aspects, after all, she was carefully raised by the prince's mansion, so he thought she would be very uncomfortable.

Except for a little unaccustomed expression on her face at the beginning, she never complained, and she was able to do things by herself along the way, and never pretended to be done by others.Only when she encounters something that she can't solve, she will ask others, but basically there will be no second time, because she will figure out what to do when she asks someone for the first time.

Although she is independent, she doesn't try to be aggressive, and she is very worry-free, both for others and for herself.

only……

Yaohu looked at Ah Xuan's sleeping face, and subtly felt that something was wrong.

Strange, does she get tired so easily?

Although I know that the physical exertion will be faster when crossing mountains and mountains, but I always feel that Ah Xuan is particularly tired today, and the degree of fatigue is also deeper.

Delusion?

Ah Xuan carried a magic weapon with him, which contained some dry food and the magic weapon given by He Mao Baoxian.

At this moment, in the neatly placed magical instruments, a small object suddenly lit up with faint blue light.
