Hyakkimaru and his gods

She has been following this young man for three days. During these three days, she never took the initiative to approach them, but fell far behind them.

Why it is them? By the way, after the last thrilling battle between ghosts and gods, the black-clothed boy likes to have two followers. Besides Qiqi, the kid named Dororo also chooses to go together.

"Xixi! It's time to eat!" A childish voice came from the woods, startling the birds.

"It's Qiqi, not Xixi." Qiqi carefully walked around the bloodstains of the monster lying on the ground in front of her, feeling a small amount of divine power in her body.

"Aren't they all the same?" Dororo pouted, "It's because your name is so difficult to pronounce."

It seems that the other party can't remember how many times they say it, and it's useless to entangle this matter any more.

"Xixi," Dororo opened his big eyes, looked at her eagerly, and swallowed, "the fish are all here, hurry up and grill them."

She lowered her head, and there were more than a dozen alive and kicking small fish piled on the ground, the biggest one was no more than the size of a palm. It really was a chaotic world, and people couldn't get enough to eat, so how could the fish grow up safely.

Sighing, she caught some of the smallest fish and released them back into the river.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Dororo jumped angrily, "This is a fish we managed to catch!"

"It wasn't you, he caught it." Qiqi flicked her forehead amusedly, "You don't understand, I call it sustainable development."

"So what if he caught it, and look at him, doesn't he also want you to let the fish go?" Dororo covered his forehead and hummed twice.

Qiqi turned her head when she heard the words, the young man squatted quietly by the river, stretched out her porcelain fingers, and the water flowed through his fingers, knowing that he couldn't feel it, but the young man was as white as jade The serious look on his face gave people the illusion that he was feeling it.

What a picture of time and tranquility...Ah!

"Fuck! What are you doing? You've had enough fish! Stop catching!" The next second, the peaceful young man drew out his arm knife and stabbed two fish to death with his backhand.

Qiqi:......

Why don't you have enough fish all over the floor?You don't have to work hard to catch fish, don't I have to work hard to grill fish?

She suddenly regretted it, because a few days ago when she found out that this guy was still living a life like a savage and eating raw fish, she couldn't hold back and showed off her cooking skills of being single for many years. As a result... It was as if she hadn’t eaten since she was a freshman. Every day she caught fruit trees and planted them, and the animals that could bear the brunt of the disaster were fish and shrimp. After walking along the river for three days, she found this river The slightly larger fish in the river are almost extinct. If you don't leave some seeds, next year this river will be a fishless river.

She held her forehead helplessly, but she also acquiesced in the boy's actions. She casually brushed away the dust on the stone with her sleeves. It was almost half a person tall, and the faint golden color swirled in it. Dororo held the firewood and waited calmly for the fire to soften, then handed the small fish threaded with branches to Qiqi's hand, completely watching He didn't look like he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground for the first time.

Maybe only a salty fish like her can do such a shitty thing like grilling with sacred fire, she thought helplessly.

Qiqi turned the grilled fish in her hand while controlling the heat of the divine fire. As time went by, the small openings made by the knife in the belly of the fish slowly opened, revealing the fresh and tender fish meat, and the sizzling oily flowers Tumbling under the high temperature, the skin was dyed golden. At this time, she sprinkled a thin layer of the sauce prepared in her hand. In an instant, the aroma overflowed, and Dororo beside her couldn't help swallowing her saliva. , even the young man leaning against the tree seemed to feel something, raised his eyes, and stared at the grilled fish in her hand without blinking.

"Here, eat it, be careful it's hot." Knowing that he couldn't hear it, Qiqi still instructed.

"Wow! Why did you give it to him first again!"

"Oh, calm down, the food and clothing parents must take care of them first."

"Hmph! I don't care, you can secretly give it to me next time, just once, he won't see it."

"No."

"Just once."

"no......"

The boy leaning on the tree was named Hyakkimaru, but due to the inability to communicate, they have not been able to exchange names until now.

The young man lowered his long, slender eyelashes like crow feathers, and held the food that the girl had just stuffed in his hand. His world has always been monotonous and peaceful, he could not hear the sounds of all things, and he could not see many colors. In addition to the white animals, green plants, and red ghosts and gods, this is the first time in his world that there are souls with such brilliant colors. I can't tell what color it is, but it is very beautiful and warm, just like Now the food in his hand is also glowing with a faint light. When he eats it in his mouth, he obviously can't feel any taste, but it seems that there is a warmth flowing slowly in his body.

Make people want to get close.

"Okay, here it is!" Dororo excitedly looked around the village in front of him, "This village looks so rich, are there really monsters?"

In order not to sit back and eat, and make effective use of resources, Dororo thought of a way to make money for the people who are troubled by monsters. Although he knew that in this era, ordinary people actually had no spare money to hire people to eliminate monsters, and they could afford money. The big family would not trust an unknown person casually, but there is no need to say it to make Dororo sad, at worst, he can subsidize a little more, just treat it as the payment for obtaining divine power.

I have to say that Dororo's diplomatic skills are really strong. Just when she was distracted for a while, she had already discussed with the acting village head of the village about killing monsters. According to them, the original village head It seems that he is sick and his legs and feet are inconvenient, so the affairs in the village are arranged by the acting village head.

This village always feels a little weird.

Qiqi lowered her head, her nostrils fluttered slightly, and sure enough, there was a rotten smell from ghosts and gods, although it was very faint, it seemed to permeate the entire village.

Ghosts and gods are different from ordinary monsters. They are named as gods. In addition to the reason for their powerful monsters, the more important thing is that they have derived wisdom and escaped from the category of lower creatures. They can pretend to live among human beings. .

So these villagers, do they know, or don't they know?

Qi Qi himself didn't feel much of the sudden change in mood, but in the eyes of Hyakkimaru, he could clearly see that the bright light of the soul in front of him seemed to flicker, and then the light dimmed a little.

Why did it suddenly go dark?The boy's heart was full of doubts, he tilted his head, and suddenly stretched out his hand to touch it.

He had never approached others so actively before, so his movements were very slow, little by little, his fingertips encountered some obstacles and he couldn't move forward.

Qiqi turned her head, and saw the young man behind her, like a blind man who had accidentally lost his cane trembling by the side of the road, stretching out his hand as if trying to grab something, so she kindly handed over the branch she had just used to open the way. up.

However, he didn't seem to appreciate it very much. As soon as he loosened his hand, the branch fell to the ground with a "snap", and for the first time a little dazed appeared on his expressionless face like ice and snow. A feeling of confusion and grievance.

Uh, well, maybe she misunderstood, he doesn't actually need the branches?

Putting one hand in the air alone, as if waiting for something, she really didn't understand what he wanted, so Qi Qi had no choice but to hold his hand.

"Anyway, I'm holding you, follow me, and you won't lose it."

The boy fulfilled his little wish, and the corners of his mouth twitched undetectably.

The way of hospitality in this village is really strange. After nightfall, the three of them lived in the stable. The environment in the stable was really not good. The friendly salty fish god is always overly loved by the horses, their tails sneaking over the railing once or twice, messing up the top of her hair.

She rubbed her sore shoulders, secretly added a healing light to herself, and then sighed a little. After all, she was living in a peaceful age. I'm squeamish.

However, compared to the life of using the sky as the quilt and the earth as the bed a few days ago, now there is a soft thatched mat under the body, even if the smell is a bit unpleasant, it is acceptable.

She nestled her whole body into the grass, and the young man sat quietly on the side. Only Dororo was still talking to himself, "Although the village is harassed by monsters, life is very luxurious, and I have seen , there are not many acres of fertile land here."

"So, how do they make money?"

call......

The oil lamp was extinguished in the airtight stable, and the sound of jingling bells came from outside the house, and the sound became louder and closer.

Squeak, the door opened.

A monster with a big head and a small body squeezed in with a bell.

Dororo screamed in fright, and then began to shake the boy violently, "Ah! It has appeared! Hurry up and get rid of the demon!"

The young man remained unmoved.

The bright moonlight poured in from the open door, illuminating the big face of the monster in front of it. It slowly moved forward, and its hoarse voice echoed in the air, "Give it to you, give it to you."

What to send?

The girl raised her head, and her long black hair slid to the ground along with her movements. There was no fear in her eyes, but a faint golden color, like brilliant starlight.

"Ah! What are you waiting for! Sisi is in danger!" Dororo roared angrily.

"It's okay," Qi Qi said in a gentle voice with a smile, "This child won't hurt anyone."

Dororo was shocked to find that the girl put her hand on the big monster's head soothingly, and gently touched it. The scene was comparable to a real version of Beauty and the Beast.

Dororo was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he didn't get up tremblingly until the thing left.

"This......"

"Don't worry, it's not a monster," Qi Qi explained, tilting her head, "it's a spirit."

"This is a collection of souls composed of the souls of the dead who were killed by monsters, called spirits for short. They exist in the world, most of them are because of obsessions in their hearts, so they will be like earth-bound spirits, wandering in a place They cannot be reincarnated, but they are indeed harmless."

"Can't be reincarnated, can't leave, this is too miserable."

"To be able to leave after completing their obsession is their wish during their lifetime, and it cannot be simply described as miserable or not miserable."

"Then what are their obsessions?"

Qiqi paused, recalling what the spirit that had left said.

"Perhaps...you want to give something away."
