[Onmyoji Mobile Games] One Hundred Ways to Raider Shikigami
Chapter 4 The Weird Masked Man
It's winter, the season of heavy snow, and the courtyard is very cold. Corresponding to the cold temperature, the branches of the cherry trees planted in the courtyard are also bare. Considering that the old man in front of me is too old to stand in the cold all the time In the cold wind, for her, her body couldn't bear it at all, so Yukie invited her into the house.
The old lady seemed a little cautious. After sitting down tremblingly, she glanced at the little white fox quietly staying beside Xuehui, and thought to herself, could it be the psychic beast of Lord Onmyoji? It was even more surprising that the fox could speak human words.
Suppressing the mixed emotions in her heart, the old woman spoke, her voice was old and muddy: "Three months have passed, and my son still hasn't come back. I have asked everywhere for his news, but there is no clue."
Xue Hui felt that the fabric on her body could not resist the cold, so she poured herself a cup of tea, the heat curled up, and she felt the warmth spread in her heart after taking a sip.
"Did he say anything when he left?"
The old lady let out a long sigh, as if with remorse, and went straight on.
"He said that he must fulfill his promise and bring back the legendary snow lotus."
When he was speaking, the old man's eyes that were no longer clear seemed to be rolling with turbulent emotions, and he could even see faint tears.
"My Ah Guang is a poor child. Our mother and son have been dependent on each other for so many years. I finally saw him grow up and get married. I forgot the pain of the past. I thought everything would be fine in the future, but just half a year ago, my daughter-in-law was When he died of illness, it was as if he had changed into a different person, he was no longer cheerful as before, but instead became gloomy and introverted, not saying a word to anyone, talking about going to the ice field to retrieve the snow lotus all day long."
"Snow lotus?"
"I once heard him say that it was what Asong wanted the most during his lifetime." She seemed to lose control of her emotions at this point, and she knelt down towards Xuehui, "My lord, I'm really scared. Every day They are all wondering whether my son has been eaten by monsters, so no one knows his whereabouts."
"I beg my lord to help me—!"
Hearing this, Xue Hui also felt an inexplicable sadness, that kind of mother's deep love for her child, even if she has never been a mother, but is also a woman, she can understand the old woman a little bit.
Xiaobai is almost the same as a human being, with complex emotions. After hearing what the old man said, he was so moved that he tugged at the corner of her clothes with his paws: "Master Yukie—"
Xue Hui moved her fingers holding the teacup, feeling a little helpless: "Of course I can't refuse such a request...however."
The words stopped abruptly, as if the old man who had found a life-saving straw was about to say something, he looked at her suspiciously, waiting for what she was about to say.
Snow painted a little headache.
She has just entered this game, and she hasn't figured out everything yet. She just understands how to summon shikigami, but she has not inherited any of the other onmyoji's abilities. Is it really okay to just accept the entrustment of the villagers like this?
So she just wanted to say that I may have limited ability and may not be able to complete the entrusted matter.
But when he saw the old man who seemed to be grasping the last bit of hope, he still couldn't say the rest of the sentence.
People always have to have some hope, life is beautiful, right? Saying it to death early may not be a good thing for this battered old man.
So she shut up decisively, and then looked at the happy old man who couldn't control himself: "By the way, old lady, do you know which direction your son is going?"
The old lady thought for a while: "He is alone, heading towards a nearby snow mountain. No matter how I try to stop him, he will not move." It seems to be reminiscent of the scene at that time, revealing a deep sadness.
As if she felt that she couldn't express it in words, she supported her body, stood at the door with a cane, and pointed in a direction with the cane: "My lord, have you seen it? It's this mountain."
Xue Hui looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a touch of white on the top of the mountain.
In this way, in the vast snowy sky, she went to the top of the snow mountain to find someone she had never seen before. She was almost not sure that she could find the old man's son, but she couldn't say no to it anyway.
This reminded her of her mother, that old face and the mother in her memory slowly overlapped.
As an onmyoji, she has the duty to protect civilians. This is the first entrustment she has received. If this problem cannot be resolved, I believe her task of becoming a famous onmyoji will not be completed.
She wants to get things done and go home.
Although it has not been a day since I first entered this game, the desire to go home is already very strong.
So Yuki decided to give it a try.
But the little information in the old man's words alone is of little help in finding her son's whereabouts.
"Is there any characteristic about your son?" Xue Hui paused, her voice lowered. "There are a lot of people who died in the snow-capped mountains. Your son may have been... and I may have to rely on his special marks to find him."
The only hope is that the old man's son is still alive, or that the body is still there. Of course, this possibility is almost zero.
The old man said: "He has always carried colored stones strung together with red strings, which I picked up from the river for him to play with when he was a child."
"Finally, I would like to know your son's name." She stared at the old man's face full of painful memories, and said slowly.
"Civilians like us are not worthy of having a surname. My son is called Yutaro."
"I see, I will set off tomorrow, you just wait for the news quietly."
After understanding it clearly, he sent the old man out of the house. Outside, it was snowing heavily, the wind was biting cold, and the wind was blowing, making his voice sound like he was crying.
Holding an umbrella and holding a cane in one hand, the old man made deep and shallow footprints in the snow, and his figure gradually faded away.
Xue Hui, who returned to the room, felt a little complicated. She took another look at the white on the top of the snow-capped mountain outside the door. She sighed, picked up Xiao Bai who was beside her, and got into the bed.
Rubbing against Xiaobai's soft fur felt a lot warmer.
"……grown ups!"
"Just let me hold it, although it still feels cold." She yawned again as she spoke.
The next morning, I set off for the snow mountain in the old man's mouth, and the old man who cared about his son's comfort even ran over to see her off.
"This is?" She looked at the thing wrapped in huge leaves that the old woman handed over, feeling a little strange.
"This is wild vegetable dumpling prepared for adults. It can be used to satisfy hunger on the road."
Hey, what a poor working people.
Xue Hui accepted the wild vegetable dumpling, turned her face away, and sighed invisibly.
Doesn’t this game have task rewards? If so, she must ask for a modern meal. The more I think about it, the more I feel a little heartbroken. Others enjoy all kinds of time travel, and she came here to experience the poor ancient times life of the Japanese working people.
Still can only wear straw sandals when going out, this time she didn't complain anymore, because there is still a long way to go.
The journey to the snow-capped mountains is very far away. Although it looks very close, it is actually like looking at the moon. It seems that it is close at hand but it is far away.
There were very few people on the mountain, and I only met a few woodcutters and hunters who went up the mountain to cut firewood. They all lived nearby. When I asked them if they had seen the old man's son, they all shook their heads.
But on such a lonely journey, with a chattering psychic beast by his side, it will not be so boring.
At night, there are many wild beasts in the mountains. In order to prevent the sudden invasion of wild beasts while sleeping, the little fox finally showed that it is actually useful. Xuee, who was holding a flint and thinking about drilling wood to make fire, turned around and saw Xiaobai Spit out a mouthful of flame and land on a pile of dry branches and leaves on the ground.
The surging flames sprang up, instantly illuminating the surrounding scenery.
"Master Yukie!" Xiao Bai threw himself into her arms as if asking for credit.
Covered with a coir raincoat worn in the snow, Yuki was already very tired after walking for a day, her eyelids could not stop drooping, and she was about to fall asleep holding the little fox.
The flames radiated scorching heat, and the red fire light shone on the girl's peaceful and peaceful face.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him, without causing the slightest movement, just like a gentle wind, his figure was no different from that of a human being, except for the huge furry tail behind him.
The monster, whose appearance is very similar to an adult human man, wears a fox mask and holds a folding fan in his hand. Only his graceful chin is exposed. After seeing the face of a sleeping human girl, he gently raises his head. The corners of his lips curled up, revealing a satisfied smile.
"Beautiful girl, just like this, become a specimen of Xiaosheng without pain."
Xiaobai, who was huddled in Yukie's arms, felt a dangerous breath rushing towards her face. When she opened her eyes, she saw a strange man looking at Yukie, as if he had bad intentions. It rushed towards him, but was easily dodged.
"It's useless, Xiaosheng doesn't pay attention to a guy with your strength."
"Master Yukie—wake up quickly."
Who is making such noise?
When Xue'e woke up in a daze, she saw Xiaobai desperately pulling at the neckline of her clothes, and there was a strangely dressed man standing beside her.
"who are you?"
She looked at the man wearing the mask, and felt an inexplicable pressure in her heart. Although she had an elegant appearance, she always felt that the man in front of her should be a powerful guy.
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to understand that you will soon become one of Xiaosheng's many collections." Holding the folding fan with his fingers, he pointed towards her, "Do you have any last words?" ?”
Noticing the huge tail on the back of the man, Yukie realized that this guy should be a monster.
...I can only bite the bullet, but if she fails, she won't die, right?
Trying to calm down, she pursed her lips.
"It's better not to say something too early."
Even if she can't beat her, she won't admit defeat, this is her style.
Then she suddenly remembered that she could summon a shikigami, and she said it silently in her heart, and then sister Tiaotiao really...appeared.
The cute monster girl obviously didn't understand what happened, she blinked her red eyes, and glanced at Yukie: "Master Yukie..."
Then he turned his head and saw the masked man, who seemed very shocked: "Hey! Uncle Fox!"
The corner of the man's mouth twitched uncontrollably, obviously very helpless: "Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng is not an uncle..."
Do these two people know each other?
Yukie, who was just mentally prepared for the battle, was dumbfounded.
The old lady seemed a little cautious. After sitting down tremblingly, she glanced at the little white fox quietly staying beside Xuehui, and thought to herself, could it be the psychic beast of Lord Onmyoji? It was even more surprising that the fox could speak human words.
