[Comprehensive] Traveling through Liaozhai with a hundred ghosts

Natsume looked nervously at the door at the end of the corridor, and the figure reflected on the door was as frightening as a death talisman.

"Lü, are there any guests outside?"

cried Lil's mother from the tearoom.

Ritsu Iijima hurriedly replied: "People in the community just sent out leaflets. I'm going to open the door. You don't have to come out."

So Lil's mother didn't ask any more questions, but in order to prevent the family from opening the door and letting the thing in, Lil had no choice but to walk out of the corridor.Seeing this, Natsume held back the fear in his heart after a pause, and followed Ritsu behind him.

When they arrived at the entrance, Ritsu Iijima realized that Natsume had followed him: "Why did you follow me? Go back inside."

Natsume felt that he couldn't let go of the past and said, "But, but that monster was recruited because of me..."

The monster outside the door heard their conversation and knew that they had come to the entrance, so he smiled and said: "Guizhi, come out quickly, don't cause trouble to others."

Natsume, who was still a primary school student at this time, was not as experienced in being chased by monsters as in the future, and could calm down, looking at the figure on the door in fear.

"Stay away." The lawyer said, "I'm going to open the door, don't worry, monsters of this level are not a threat."

Although Natsume was half-believing, she also knew that she couldn't help here. In order to avoid being delayed, she followed Ritsu's words and turned around and ran to the back of the cabinet where the phone was placed in the corridor of the entrance.

Just when he turned around and ran a few steps away, he heard the sound of the door opening behind him, and Natsume looked back subconsciously.Outside the door, a monster with disheveled hair and a shape like Prajna smiled grinningly and was about to rush in, but at the same time, there was a sudden gust of wind in the room, which seemed to be mixed with the sound of dragon chant.

The monster who was still arrogant outside the door suddenly changed his face, and before he even had time to beg for mercy, he let out a wailing cry and stopped abruptly.

I saw a monster beside Ritsu Iijima at some point, but this monster didn't look very good, it probably gave people the impression of a sly eye and a lack of righteousness.Natsume looked a little familiar, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that this was Ritsu's father, the middle-aged man who gave people a sense of déjà vu!

But it's not very good to say that other people's father, and the other party just helped him get rid of the monster that was following him, so Natsume didn't ask much.

"This is Qing Lan, my grandfather's shikigami, who is now the patron saint of this family." Ritsu introduced to Natsume.

Natsume nodded, and was about to thank that monster named Qinglan, when he heard him complaining in Helu: "Just throw this brat out, I need to come out for such a trivial matter, tsk, that monster should be There are not enough snacks, it’s really not worth it.”

After speaking, it turned into a cloud of smoke and floated back to a room in the house.

Lv smiled embarrassedly: "Don't pay attention to what he said, Qing Lan is grandfather's shikigami, and now he stays here because of his grandfather's order, so unless there is an accident, usually he can't be called."

It turns out that there are still people who can command such powerful monsters... Natsume felt a little surprised, but learned new knowledge.

"Lü, what did the people from the community just come over and say?"

Probably because of the loud noise just now, Ritsu's mother Jun Iijima noticed her, and she poked her head out from the tea room.

Li smiled and prevaricated: "I said that there was a lecture event for a few days, nothing happened."

Silk had no doubts at all, and then she noticed Natsume in the corridor, and said strangely: "Huh? Is this someone else's kid coming to play at our house?"

"Hello, Auntie!" Natsume hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Hmm...probably..." Lu replied vaguely, "It seems that he played hide-and-seek with his classmates and hid in the back garden of our house."

Ritsu's mother, Jin, is a very elegant woman in a kimono. She looks to be in her early thirties. After hearing this, she smiled gently at Natsume and said, "Well, how about a cup of tea and something to eat?"

Seeing Iijima Kin who smiled as if there were flowers blooming behind her, Natsume felt a little shy and uncomfortable, and quickly waved her hand: "No, no, thank you."

The monster who chased him just now has been dealt with, logically he shouldn't stay here to disturb others.

"Then you can come and play when you have time." Juan finished speaking and went back to the tea room.

Ritsu saw Natsume's uneasy appearance, maybe because he remembered his experience of being entangled by monsters since he was a child, but compared to this child, he is probably much better. When he was young, his grandfather had not passed away, and later Qinglan was the patron saint. After thinking for a while, he said, "Next time if you want to come, you should go through the main entrance. That bush forest belongs to the area of ​​monsters. You are lucky that Qinglan is at home this time and nothing happened."

Natsume was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded vigorously with a smile on his face.

It was dusk outside, and the clouds in the sky turned orange.

"It's getting late, I'll ask Oguro to take you back."

As he said that, Natsume saw the gray munia fly over from the house, and then turned into a man in a black kimono.

Although the facial features are all in line with human standards, they still remind people of birds for some reason.

"This way please, young master."

Even though it was still dark, Oguro held a lantern in his hand.

Natsume quickly followed behind him. He took a long detour to avoid monsters. Iijima’s house is actually not close to the relative’s house where he is now boarding. It takes about 10 minutes to walk back, but now follow Oguro , Felt less than 5 minutes after walking, the black tail in front stopped.

"Young master, your house has arrived."

Natsume felt very surprised: "It's so fast!"

"Because the one who took you just now was the ghost path." Wei Hei said with a hippie smile, "The monster can go to another world, so the distance is much closer."

"So it's like this..." Natsume recalled the road he walked just now, it seemed a little different from usual.

"Young master, I'll go first." After completing the task, Oguro prepared to go back.

"Thank you for sending me back!" Natsume thanked him.

Most of the monsters I have seen in the past either clamored to eat him or deliberately bullied and teased him. It was the first time I met such a well-mannered and polite monster, and Natsume felt a little subtle feeling in his heart, probably because he had an idea: so it is not All monsters are so bad.

Natsume's relatives who are boarding this time are a couple who are about 40 years old, and their children have grown up and moved out.

During dinner, Natsume remembered the Iijima house that he went to today, because he wanted to wait for the weekend to go there, and then ask the high school student named Ritsu who can see monsters like himself, and ask some questions about monsters, so he said: "That ...the Iijima house at the end of the street..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the aunt interrupted: "The Iijima family?! Kishi, you are not interested in there, are you?"

Xia Mu was stunned.

The aunt continued to babble: "You child, even if you are interested in monsters, you can just pretend to see monsters, don't go to Iijima's house just to find out the secrets! The family heard that the house is often haunted, and the neighbors have heard of it. In the middle of the night and three o'clock, their house suddenly became very lively, but living in that kind of old Japanese-style house is indeed, it feels gloomy, maybe there are some unclean things in it..."

It's so strange, I obviously don't believe that I can see monsters, but I firmly believe that there are monsters in Iijima's house?Although the aunt is still nagging, Natsume has no intention of listening, but is caught in her own doubts.

Weekend in a few days.

Although his relatives repeatedly urged him to avoid the Iijima's house as much as possible, but there was nothing to do at the relative's house, so Natsume, who was out for a walk alone, walked to the door of the Iijima's house intentionally or unintentionally.

After some struggle, Natsume still rang the doorbell of Iijima's house.

Not long after, someone opened the door from the inside, it was Lil who was still in pajamas.

"It's Natsume, come in." Ritsu scratched his head, looking not in good spirits.

Natsume hesitated: "Is it inconvenient, I still..."

"Eh? No, no, no, it's nothing." Ritsu Iijima quickly clarified, "It's just that I made it too late last night to review my homework."

Thinking that Ritsu is a high school student, he must have much more homework than him, Natsume said again: "Then I am here to disturb you to study now?"

"It's nothing, the black tail and the white tail were still thinking about wanting to play with you just now." Lu invited, "Come in, anyway, the house is big, and I won't be affected if I study upstairs."

After entering the guest room, the two murine birds flew over as expected.

"Young master is here to play!"

"Young master, try this snack!"

They are obviously two-finger-sized birds, and I don't know how they got the tea and snacks.

"Liu, is there a guest here?"

Ritsu Iijima's mother's voice came from the corridor outside.

Lu Ying said: "It's the kid named Natsume who came to our house before, he just came to play."

Then there was the sound of sliding the door outside, and after a while Juan came over with a dish of candy in her hand.

"Strange, I don't know who ate the dim sum that was put in the kitchen just now."

Natsume who just ate a few pieces of cakes under the warm greeting of Okuro and Obai: "..."

Law silently glanced at the black tail and white tail of the two little birds that were just chirping in the eyes of ordinary people.

But Juan seemed to be a casual person, and didn't look into this matter carefully, and smiled at Natsume, "I'm sorry, I had something to eat."

"No, it's nothing! Auntie, you don't have to be so polite." Natsume said quickly.

Saying that, Xia Mu inadvertently looked at the courtyard outside, and then froze for a moment.

At some point in the courtyard stood a man wearing a fox mask.

"Huh?" Natsume was subconsciously surprised.

Seeing him looking outside, Juan also followed his gaze: "Is there anything outside?"

Natsume was sure that it was a monster, but Mrs. Iijima couldn't see the monster, so Natsume quickly found an excuse and said, "It seems that I saw a unicorn flying by just now!"

Then Ritsu also opened his mouth to send his mother at this time: "Mom, if you have something to do, go back first, I'll just stay here with Natsume."

After Ritsu's mother went back inside, Ritsu Iijima walked to the side, and said to the monster outside: "May I ask what's the matter?"

The fox emissary said, "My lord sent me to look for the snail. May I ask if the book has been finished?"
