Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 211 Moonlight
among towns.

There is a feeling of darkness everywhere, no matter how you look at it, the distance you can see is very close.

Two lantern ghosts led the way ahead, and everyone's eyes basically fell on the wobbly flames of the lantern ghosts.

In those gray places, you can see a lot of strange things.

Most of them looked very human, and some looked like animals, and there were even things with both human and animal features.

Those things are the ghosts that live here.

At this time, Kaoru and Shuten Doji were going to find Yan Mo, so there was no stop along the way.

Soon, an ancient building appeared in front of them.

It looks like a castle in ancient Europe, but obviously, this building is not a European castle, but a Chinese-style building.

The walls are carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes.

and some ancient Chinese characters.

These are proofs.

The material used throughout the building is black, that pure black.

Compared with the surrounding light, it is even darker.

So when I saw this building from a distance for the first time, I mistakenly thought it was a dark cave or something.

At least not physically.

Only after getting close can you be sure from the lines on those materials that this is a big palace.

"Master Yan Mo is inside, Miss Xun, you go in."

The woman wearing peach blossoms looked at Xun and said respectfully.

"Ah."

Xun replied.

Then Xun led Shuten Doji and the others into the black palace. The door opened directly, and after they walked in, the door automatically closed again.

After Kaoru and Shuten Doji went in, the two beautiful and weak women stood quietly at the door, motionless.

The lantern ghosts slowly floated to the eaves of the building, and the two lantern ghosts hung on one corner, barely illuminating the gate of the palace.

……

Chen Beibei's home.

At this time, everyone gathered in the yard.

Shuten-douji hadn't come out to make trouble all this time, and those little ghosts who came because of Shuten-douji's gathering had almost left now.

This is because they have also lost news of Shuten-douji.

Otherwise, they will definitely continue to wait, after all, Shuten-douji will undoubtedly become their most powerful shelter.

"The brats who should go now have already left. Let's go to the back mountain to see if there is anything left."

Chen Beibei looked at his shikigami and said slowly.

"Is there anything else?"

Yingcao looked at Chen Beibei suspiciously and asked him.

"I'm not sure, but it's better than doing nothing."

Although it is still spring, it is already late spring, and most of the early peach blossoms have withered.

The sun is very dazzling, giving people the illusion that summer has come.

"Okay, master."

Yingcao nodded.

The hot sun has been shining for a whole day, making the temperature of the ground rise a bit, and the branches and leaves of the grass and trees seem to have been roasted and lose their moisture.

All give a listless feeling.

hot.

Quiet.

This kind of weather makes people feel indescribable.

It was a somewhat uncomfortable feeling.

It was as if there was something in my heart that was always threatening me, but no matter what, I couldn't find out what that thing was.

The day was extremely long, and when the sun set, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

The temperature on the ground began to gradually dissipate.

Certain animals that are afraid of the heat dare to sneak out to find food and the opposite sex they like at this time.

On the surface of the river, an early blue water lily was half open and half closed.

I don't know where the little bugs are hiding, making noisy sounds, but the buzzing of the bugs doesn't make people feel that it will be very noisy.

Instead, it will give people a sense of tranquility.

"It's great. At night, everything gives people a very comfortable feeling."

Zashiki Boy looked up at the moon that just came out in the sky, and said obsessively.

Zashiki-douji is wearing a red child's kimono, which is not very thick. When he raises his hand, the wide sleeves of the kimono will slide to the elbow of Zashiki-douji, revealing a white and tender forearm.

At this time, Zashiki-douji was lying on a stone table, propping his head with his hands, looking at the moon in the sky, and his forearms were exposed in the slightly cool air.

"Zashiki-douji, do you want to go for a walk?"

Chen Beibei looked at Zashiki-douji and asked her.

Since those ghosts gathered in the back mountain of Qinghe town, the sky became dark and even covered the moon.

Chen Beibei never let Zashiki-douji go out.write
Zashiki Doji is a very obedient little girl, so she hasn't gone out for a long time.

"Master, is it really possible?"

Zashiki Doji tilted his head, looked at Chen Beibei with wide eyes, and asked him.

"Well, of course it's true."

Chen Beibei patted Zashiki-douji's head, and then said.

Zashiki Doji is a monster that can bring good luck and wealth to people. Although it is not obvious, it still has some effect.

Moreover, Zashiki Doji has always been very well-behaved, and has never caused any trouble for Chen Beibei.

So Chen Beibei still loves her very much.

Of course, if we talk about the tragic past of Zashiki Doji, it is also possible to talk about love and affection.

The moon was rising higher and higher, and the temperature in the air was getting lower and lower.

Although everyone doesn't wear a lot of clothes, they still don't feel cold. After all, it's late spring now.

The kind of cold at night.

It is within an acceptable and comfortable range.

This time, Chen Beibei brought all his shikigami, including Xiaoluo's bride.

Although there is a purpose for coming out, I want to go to the back mountain to find something.

But it can also be used as a walk, or to enjoy the night outside, at least for Xiaoluo's bride and Zashiki Warji.

The reason why Chen Beibei brought them here was only for this purpose.

It's not about letting them do things for themselves.

On the moonlight, the whole town of Qinghe was in a hazy light, and everything could be seen a little, but nothing could be seen clearly.

Everyone just walked slowly.

No one is in a hurry.

"Master, it's really comfortable to walk out like this."

Xiaoluo's bride climbed onto Chen Beibei's shoulder and said happily.

"When you calm down, if you want to come out in the future, I can accompany you out every day."

Chen Beibei replied.

"Master, we want to come out too."

Yingcao took Zashiki Doji's hand, shook it, and said.

Yingcao has been walking on a tree trunk that fell to the ground, trying to balance her body, and Zashiki Doji held her hand, which made her feel very safe.

"Well, we can go together."

Chen Beibei said.

Although the group of people walked slowly, they had already reached the back mountain of Qinghe town.

It didn't take a lot of time, about half an hour or so.

Chen Beibei had always opened his spiritual eyes, but he didn't see any ghosts along the way. After all, those little ghosts had already left Qinghe town.

When I approached the back mountain, I still didn't see ghosts.

Although it should be a good thing, but under this calm, people have a faint feeling of uneasiness.

"Master, I have a strange feeling."

Guan Hu looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.

At this time, Guanhu is in the form of a fox, a small white fox, moving lightly among the trees.

Basically, Guanhu has always been at the forefront.

When Guan Hu was speaking, he stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Chen Beibei, his pure black pupils looked dreamy.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei nodded, but did not speak.

Because Chen Beibei also felt that way, it was an uneasy feeling, as if something would really happen.

Or rather, something has happened.

"In the breeze...with a hint of blood..."

Inugami sniffed, then said.

At this time, everyone has stopped, held their breath, and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

But there seems to be nothing.

"Does it smell like blood?"

Chen Beibei asked softly.

"Well, it can't be wrong."

Inugami looked at Chen Beibei and said in a deep voice.

Inugami is a shikigami transformed from a dog, so the nose is very sensitive.

After Chuanping teak, Chen Beibei found some methods of making dog gods from some books.

That is an extremely cruel method.

Legend has it that for a member of the Inu Shenshi family, his parents would put a dog by his side from the moment he was born, and grow up with him.

Dogs are originally the kind of animals that can easily develop sincere feelings with humans.

Therefore, people in the Inu God Envoy family will have a dog that is very close to them. The relationship between the two is a very special relationship.

You can even sacrifice yourself for the other party.

However, when the people of the dog gods grow up to 12 years old, the dog has already entered old age.

The 12-year-old Inujinshi will experience the most memorable and painful event in their life, and this event will serve as their coming-of-age ceremony.

during the year.

The dog that accompanied them for 12 years will be killed by them.

And it was brutally tortured to death.

For the honor of the dog gods, and for the inheritance of the dog gods, they had to do this, even if it was painful, even if they would cry.

Even if you would rather die yourself.

However, he still had to do that. The 12-year-old boy, under the supervision of his parents, would complete that horrible thing.

After the dog was brutally tortured to death by his dearest person.

There will be a strong resentment in the heart.

As long as this resentment is strong enough, it will gradually become a monster.

Such monsters are Inugami.

Inugami is different from other monsters, because other monsters are basically produced for some special reasons.

And Inugami is man-made.

From the very beginning, Inugami existed as a shikigami driven by humans.

……

The smell of blood in the air.

This smell is very faint, only Inugami can smell it, Chen Beibei and the others have no way to smell this bloody smell.

Probably because of the distance.

"Master, do you want to go and have a look?"

Inugami looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

"Well, let's go."

Chen Beibei replied.

Now that they have come here, and Chen Beibei and the others don't have a definite route and purpose.

So now following the smell of blood, it is also possible to go and have a look.

There are not necessarily any strange discoveries.

Inugami walked slowly while sniffing the faint smell in the air, and everyone followed behind him.

Walking among the trees is somewhat difficult.

After all, it is already late spring, and the vegetation is very lush, as are things like vines.

Walking in some places, there may even be situations where you can't pass.

Inugami would use his own knife to cut off the vines and vegetation blocking the way, so that it would be easier for Chen Beibei and the others to walk.

In the mountains and forests, the moon can hardly be seen.

The lush branches and leaves blocked everyone's sight.

But occasionally, some moonlight leaks from the gaps in the branches and leaves, like some shimmering thin threads.

"Master, we are almost here."

Inugami made a stop gesture, Chen Beibei and the others stopped.

No one spoke. After all, the smell of blood in the air was already obvious. Even Chen Beibei and the others could smell it clearly.

that smell.

The surrounding air became uneasy.

Inugami slowly pushed aside the branches in front of him, and looked towards the place that smelled of blood.

I saw a woman in red clothes squatting on the ground with some scarlet blood on the corner of her mouth.

The woman is smiling.

He looked in the direction of Inugami, and then met Inugami's gaze.

Even an experienced monster like Inugami couldn't help being taken aback, but Inugami quickly stabilized his emotions.

"That woman... must not be human..."

With this thought in his mind, Inugami had already pulled out the knife a little bit, which would allow him to draw out the knife as quickly as possible when facing danger.

Generally, experienced swordsmen will do this when facing an opponent whose strength is not very clear.

"Come out."

The woman looked in the direction of Inugami and called softly.

At this time, Inugami had already hidden among the trees, but before that, he had obviously been discovered by that woman.

So there is no need for Inugami to continue hiding.

"Don't move here."

Inugami made a gesture to Chen Beibei and the others, and then walked out alone.

At this time, Inugami naturally didn't want Chen Beibei and the others to come out. After all, the woman in front of her was definitely not human, and she was not very clear about her strength now.

If Chen Beibei and the others were allowed to come out together, it would be a little risky.

Inugami walked out, and the scene in front of her became clearer. The woman was still squatting on the ground, and in front of her was a corpse that had been eaten and only a few bones and a complete head remained.

　I was so anxious to write today, I worked overtime until after ten o'clock before I got off work, and then I took a shower, it was already ten twenty, fortunately I finished writing...
