Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 243 Jiaotu and Xia Mu

A slowly flowing stream, a bamboo forest, and blue mountains in the distance.

Jiaotu really only saw a dilapidated house in this place, and the old fisherman, even the road he was walking now was covered with weeds.

So what the old fisherman said is indeed true, this place is very remote.

Jiaotu looked at the old fisherman walking away with a fish basket, and felt a little lost and helpless...

"I thought I could find the clam spirit through the sewers, but I never thought that since I came to such a place, where should I find you now, clam spirit?!"

Jiaotu walked towards the dilapidated house not far away.

Now that we are here, let's find other people and find out the whereabouts of the clam essence.

So at least there is still hope.

……

Xia Mu looked at the mussel in his hand, then quickly ran into the house, and locked the door behind him...

"Hey, you're not a monster, are you?"

Xia Mu asked.

Although Clam Essence heard Xia Mu's inquiry, but now there is no way to answer it, and there is no way to make any response.

"Xia Mu, what are you talking about? This is just a very ordinary river clam..."

The white dog spoke human words.

This is a stray dog ​​that Xia Mu picked up when he was in the first grade of elementary school.

The first time I met the white dog was at a garbage dump, and it was raining. Because I didn't bring an umbrella, Xia Mu, who was running in the rain, found a puppy who was rummaging for food.

The rain wet the dog's fur, and it stuck to his body wetly.

But the puppy's body obviously exudes a faint light, white, like a colored gas, surrounding the puppy.

This was the first time Xia Mu encountered a monster. It was only later that Xia Mu realized that the faint light, or colored gas, was actually the so-called aura.

Be it animals, plants, or even utensils for daily use, these things may turn into monsters under certain circumstances.

In some books, it has been recorded that if the things used by human beings have been accompanied by a person for more than 20 years, it is possible to gradually generate consciousness, that is, to have aura.

In a sense, such a thing has become a demon.

But most of them are just some very ordinary, very weak little monsters that can't even affect the external environment and human beings.

Of course, there will be some more powerful ones.

It can reach the level of using human language, or even transform into a human form, making it difficult for humans to distinguish, and then do some things that affect humans.

Xia Mu told Grandpa Liu about this, but Grandpa Liu didn't believe it. After all, Xia Mu was too young at that time.

But Xia Mu also gradually realized one thing.

——I can see youkai with my own eyes!
When the old fisherman was about to smash the mussel, Xia Mu saw the light blue halo emanating from the mussel.

That's why Xia Mu stopped the old fisherman.

"Xiaobai, no, this river clam is also a monster like you..."

Xia Mu explained.

Xia Mu said, shaking the clam in his hand: "Hey, can you hear me?"

The mussel was a little uncomfortable being shaken.

But there is still no way to recover from the alcohol paralysis.

"Xia Mu, you can't read it wrong, right? There are not so many monsters in this world."

White Dog said.

At this time, the white dog is no longer the little milk dog that was picked up before. In the past ten years, Xia Mu has turned 17 years old.

And Baigou also began to enter his old age.

It is said that the lifespan of a dog is only about 13 years, and the retrieved puppy is only a few months old, and now it is ten years and a few months old.

Although the white dog is a monster, it has only reached the level where it can use human language, and has no aura to prevent the aging of the body.

If there is no accident, the remaining lifespan of the white dog will not exceed five years, or even a short period of one to three years!

"Xiaobai, you can't be wrong!"

Xia Mu replied in the affirmative.

Although Xiaobai has grown up now, Xia Mu still hasn't changed his name, as if this can make him ignore the fact that Xiaobai is getting old.

Xia Mu bent his index finger, pinched it with his thumb, slowly accumulated strength, and flicked the clam vigorously.

"Ah~ It hurts...!"

A voice sounded, it was from the clam.

The mussel, which hadn't recovered its consciousness, suddenly felt a sharp pain and cried out unconsciously.

"Haha, Xiaobai, look, I'm not wrong."

Xia Mu said happily.

At this time, the clam essence has slowly recovered, and the feeling of heaviness in the body has gradually disappeared.

"Thank you for saving me..."

Clam Jing looked at Xia Mu and said to him.

Earlier, if it wasn't for Xia Mu, the clam spirit would have been crushed to death by the old fisherman.

Therefore, Clam Essence thanked her very carefully.

"It's okay, I just did a very simple thing."

Xia Mu replied.

The clam essence didn't turn into a human being, after all, the clam essence still doesn't know what kind of person Xia Mu is.

Although I had a good impression of Xia Mu from the beginning.

However, this cannot be used as an excuse to let go of the defense. If you want to survive, it is better to be cautious. Only in this way can you see Jiaotu again.

"Melancholy girl in a blue kimono, what are you doing now?"

……

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a gentle knock on the door, not in a hurry, with a suitable rhythm.

"Clam, stay in the basin and don't talk, someone is coming outside."

Xia Mu looked at the clam essence and said to him.

"Ah."

The clam spirit replied.

Xia Mu walked out, and the white dog followed Xia Mu all the time.

Xia Mu opened the door, and there stood a girl in a blue kimono with a shy expression on her face.

This is the first time for Jiaotu to knock on the door of a stranger's house so presumptuously.

"I hope... the people inside, don't be angry!"

Jiaotu was even ready to escape. If a violent and strong man came out, then it's better not to inquire...

"Hi, may I ask, what can you do?"

A gentle voice sounded, it was the voice of a teenager, with a warm feeling like the sun in spring.

The worries in Jiaotu's heart were swept away...

Jiaotu looked at the boy in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, "What a clean boy..."

Jiaotu didn't know how to describe it.

But for Jiaotu, the word clean is probably the most accurate word to describe the young man in front of him.

Like clean sea water, clean sky, a pure blue beauty.

Especially Jiaotu, who lives in the sea, is even more loyal to such things as clean seawater.

"What did you say?"

Xia Mu asked.

Jiaotu quickly covered it up: "No...it's nothing..."

"Excuse me, have you seen a boy who is as tall as me? His hair is messy, and his clothes are a little worn out."

Jiaotu asked.

Although the clam spirit can transform into a human being, and its appearance changes according to its own consciousness, the clam spirit always exists in a sloppy, unkempt appearance.

Although Jiaotu has been complaining: "You are so dirty like this." But the clam spirit is not moved at all, and believes in her heart that this image symbolizes a kind of freedom.

Xia Mu frowned slightly, thought carefully, and then replied: "No..."

Jiaotu's height is about 1.6 meters. Xia Mu can be sure that he has never seen a boy of this height come to him.

"Okay then, I'll go... look elsewhere..."

Jiaotu turned around to leave.

If the clam spirit is not here, then there is almost no hope of finding him in other places.

Jiaotu was brought here by the eddies and streams in the sewers.

Now Jiao Tulian has forgotten the way back to the small town of Scarborough: "I am really useless..."

Jiaotu was not far away when Xia Mu's voice came from behind him.

"Hey, you are a monster too!"

Because before, the clam spirit said that among human beings, some people can distinguish monsters and kill monsters.

So when Xia Mu revealed his identity, Jiaotu ran away in a hurry.

"It's so dangerous, it's not like I met an onmyoji!"

The clam spirit will use alchemy people, collectively referred to as onmyoji, these people, including monks, Taoists, alchemists, wizards, fortune tellers, and onmyojis.

In the clam spirit's description, most of these people exist for the benefit of mankind!

What they do is to eradicate monsters, that is to say, to eliminate and repel monsters to protect the peace of the world.

Jiaotu is still afraid of humans who can see through and distinguish monsters. After all, this is the first time Jiaotu has come to an area where humans live.

……

The moonlight is cool.

It has been ten days since Chen Beibei left Qinghe town, and he still hasn't encountered a single monster in these ten days.

At this moment, everyone is resting against a big tree.

It was very late at night, and all the monsters had already fallen asleep. Only Chen Beibei kept his eyes open, looking at the stars and the moon in the sky.

Chen Beibei opened the shikigami bar in the system.

There are four newly added shikigami, Kaifangzhu, Brother Tiaotiao, Brother Tiaotiao, Sister Tiaotiao, and the picture cards of the three monsters, and there is a logo with the word "new".

These days, Chen Beibei has not checked the attributes of the monsters, nor has he entered the system.

One is because Jiu Tun-douzi has been wandering around the world, making Chen Beibei unwilling to watch these things.

The other reason is that the task in the system has been stuck on "retaining or destroying Shuten-douji." This task has not been refreshed for a long time.

It doesn't even make sense to enter the system.

Today, I just clicked on the system occasionally during the insomnia in the middle of the night. In fact, there is no purpose.

Chen Beibei clicked on the card with Haifangzhu on it.

Some panel values ​​of Kaibozu are displayed.

Name: Master Kaifang.

Rarity: sr
Level: LV1(0/1000)
Combat Strength: 6
Secret skill: Fury of sea water, Umibozu is especially suitable for fighting in places with water, he can create vortexes in the water and set off waves. (It can cause a tsunami in the sea!)
……

Kaibozu is a monster that does evil in the sea. He will capsize passing fishing boats and let people who go out to sea drown in the sea.

Therefore, many fishermen will light incense to the gods enshrined in their homes before going to sea, and then say some prayers.

The wife, on the other hand, prayed to the gods to protect her husband's safe return every day when her husband was out at sea.

This custom has probably been passed down.

Those people who live by the sea basically have their own gods. Although it is only a small statue, under the influence of incense for ten, 20, 100, or even hundreds of years, it is also A true god will gradually be born.

Of course, the most important thing is to let the worries in your heart disappear slowly in prayer, so that you can live a peaceful life.

Death, and the unknown, are always irresistible for human beings.

The turmoil in the soul can be sustenance and narration, this is what those fishermen really need...

Now Haifangzhu has been adopted by Chen Beibei as a Shikigami.

Hope the sea can be calmer.

……

Chen Beibei continued to click on the next shikigami picture, brother jump!

Name: jumping brother

Rarity: sr
Level: LV1 (0/1000)

Combat Strength: 7
Secret skill: Substitute attack, Brother Tiaotiao can summon a substitute to fight for himself, the damage taken by the substitute will not return to Brother Tiaotiao.

Brother Tiaotiao is the oldest zombie in the Tiaotiao family, but he is actually not very reliable.

emmmmm... In fact, the one who is really suitable to be an older brother is younger brother Tiaotiao!
However, Brother Tiaotiao, as an SR-level monster, is still stronger than Brother Tiaotiao and Sister Tiaotiao in terms of combat effectiveness.

Moreover, at some critical junctures, Brother Tiaotiao will become more reliable.

For example, when Tomato came back, when Brother Tiaotiao was in danger, and when Sister Tiaotiao bit a human for the first time, Brother Tiaotiao was very reliable.

Brother Tiaotiao's usual laughter is probably because he wants to adjust the atmosphere, or it is a natural personality. No matter what the situation is, Brother Tiaotiao's IQ is definitely not a problem, he is a normal zombie!

……

Name: jumping brother

Rarity: r
Level: LV1(0/1000)
Combat Strength: 3
Secret skill: deadly corpse poison, brother Tiaotiao can inject corpse poison into the bodies of other animals, and then control these animals to attack the enemy.Enemies bitten by animals that have been injected with corpse poison will also be infected with corpse poison and die within one to three days.

Although Brother Tiaotiao's combat power is not high, the ability he uses seems to be quite powerful.After all, it is too easy to kill an ordinary person by injecting corpse poison into the body of an animal and then controlling that animal.

For example, control a mosquito and slowly inject corpse poison into the human body through the mosquito's mouthparts.

Of course, this is just an assumption.

Brother Tiaotiao would not do this, hum, you villains!

The three Tiaotiao brothers and sisters have been far away from human beings because they were once human beings and had parents, so they understand the feeling of losing a loved one.

That's why I can bear the loneliness and boring feeling of staying in an isolated space.

　Well, today is a holiday, so I can update it earlier.In the morning, I slept until twelve o’clock and woke up because I was hungry. It’s really cool~ (Our factory only has two days off in a month, so the next holiday will probably take a long time.) These Shikigami panels The data should actually be written when the shikigami comes out, but because the off-duty time is relatively late every day, the writing is in a hurry, and it will take a relatively long time to write the panel data, so I save it for the holidays and write it together up.I hope you don't mind...thanks~
