Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 268 Xia Mu's Past

There was a breeze blowing in the dark night, and the branches and leaves shook slightly, but because it was a moonless night, the branches and leaves did not leave shadows on the ground.

Xia Mu looked into the white dog's eyes, then stopped.

Even if you dodge it, just let those bugs eat you.

Stop, maybe there is still a chance.

"Xia Mu, those bugs have spiritual power, right?"

The white dog stood not far in front of Xia Mu, looked at Xia Mu, and said to him.

"Um……"

Xia Mu replied.

The white dog lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, this state only lasted for a few seconds.

But in Xia Mu's view, it was still a long time.

"Xiaobai, what are you thinking?"

Xia Mu looked at the white dog and asked it.

The white dog raised his head slowly, and looked at Xia Mu: "Master, do you still remember that a long time ago, when you were five or six years old, Grandpa Liu took us to go fishing together, and met the water ghost?" something?"

"I don't remember, is there really such a thing?"

Xia Mu frowned, then replied.

"Also, going fishing is so dangerous, why did Grandpa Liu take us with him?"

Xia Mu continued.

"There is something that Grandpa Liu never told you, probably because he was afraid that you would be sad..."

The white dog looked at Xia Mu and said with a dull look, there was obviously a trace of unbearable in his eyes.

"whats the matter?"

Xia Mu was a little confused by Baigou's messy words.

"It's about your life experience."

After the white dog finished speaking, he lay down on the ground, apparently planning to tell a long story.

Xia Mu took pictures of the bugs climbing up his neck again. The moment the bugs landed on the ground, they were completely motionless and completely dead.

The white dog slowly talked about that matter.

"Xia Mu, you have lived on an island since you were a child. That island is called Lingfeng Island. It used to be a small island with many people sitting on it, but now probably no one will live there..."

"why?"

Xia Mu interrupted the white dog and asked it.

Lingfeng Island is not very far from Grandpa Liu's house. It takes about an hour to get there by boat, but Grandpa Liu has never taken Xia Mu to rest on that island.

Xia Mu is still a little interested in a small island that he knows.

"There used to be a shrine on Lingfeng Island, and the deity enshrined in it was named Ape God, and it was rumored that he was a deity who could call wind and rain, and it was true.

Under the protection of that god, the islanders of Lingfeng Island are able to live a smooth and rainy life. Even though the land of Lingfeng Island is barren, the crops can get a good harvest every year because of the favorable wind, rain and sunshine.

The people on Lingfeng Island were also able to live a well-fed life there.

And all of this came to an abrupt end because of you! "

When the white dog said this, he paused briefly. During this brief pause, the white dog looked at Xia Mu carefully, wanting to know whether he could bear the truth.

In the distance, Guhuo Bird, Inu-shen and the two were still confronting the witch and Gu master. After the centipede was killed by Jiaotu, in the bamboo cage, the slender gray-yellow toad and the three-eyed grasshopper danced together. out.

The speed of the two bugs was very fast, almost with a little force on their hind legs, their bodies flew directly into the sky.

The girl bird took pictures of the insects that were constantly crawling towards her head, and her attention was also distracted. A faint light flashed in the eyes of the three-eyed grasshopper, and a "clack" sound came out of its mouth. .

The grayish-yellow toad with a slender body jumped towards the bird.

Inugami almost pulled out his own sword at that moment. Toad's speed is very fast, and his body is slender, and his targets are relatively few. The knife cut the toad in half.

"Giggle!"

Grasshoppers that landed on high branches made the sound again.

Toad stopped suddenly in mid-air, and then turned to the side.

Han Guang flashed the knife in Inugami's hand...

"How is it possible, since I have avoided it, it seems that I have seen through the trajectory of my saber..."

Inugami's heart trembled, he never thought that such a low-level monster could escape his confident blow.

The toad landed on the ground not very far away, its body lying prone, its slender and powerful legs jumping up tightly, ready to attack again at any time.

"Gu Huo Niao, you should evacuate from the battlefield first. It's important to deal with the bugs on your body first. If you fight and stop those bugs at the same time, it's easy to make omissions!"

Inugami looked at Guhuo Niao very seriously, and said to her.

"Ah."

The girl bird nodded, spread its wings, and flew into the night sky.

"Cuckoo..."

The grasshopper that landed still on the branch made such a sound from its mouth.

The toad jumped up towards the bird that flew into the sky.

Inugami's legs slammed hard, and the knife in his hand was gripped even tighter: "Don't even think about succeeding!"

Inugami appeared between the toad and the bird, holding the sword horizontally at chest level.

"With me here, rest and touch the bird's hair!"

……

The breeze rustled the branches and leaves of the trees, but this kind of sound, on the contrary, brought out the tranquility of the night even more.

Xia Mu and Baigou were far away from where Inugami and the others were fighting, so the voice from that side could not reach here.

"Is it because of me that Lingfeng Island has become what it is now?"

Xia Mu's expression was very serious and serious. At this time, he didn't mean to be joking at all.

"Ah."

The white dog moved a little closer to Xia Mu again, and finally lay down beside Xia Mu, resting his head on Xia Mu's shoes, and the white dog's thoughts returned to Lingfeng Island again.

"That god is indeed very effective, this is a point of view that all the islanders on Lingfeng Island agree with.

The only thing that makes the islanders feel a little sad is that the god is not selfless. While the god brings suitable wind and rain to Lingfeng Island, he also has a request!
——When the full moon comes, the god will come to the shrine, and the islanders need to pick out young and beautiful women to bring to the shrine...

At the beginning, the islanders could not accept this, and they resisted several times.The result of resistance is only the threat of starvation and death.

The first woman to be sent was the mother of Chunlou, that is, the woman in Chunyu Street who was a bit older, but with exquisite makeup and graceful appearance. Basically, all the women in her shop were Lingfeng The woman in the island. "

"How can you agree to this kind of thing, is it forced?"

Xia Mu interrupted Baigou and asked him.

"No, she did it voluntarily! The resistance of the islanders has enraged the god, and the god has sent down punishment. The sun is shining in the sky every day, the land is cracked, and the fresh water is dry. Some of the islanders have died of thirst one after another.

Under such circumstances, she proposed that she was willing to go to the shrine on the night of the full moon. "

"Ah... so it is such a woman..."

Xia Mu has been to Chunyu Street, so he has naturally seen that Chunlou mother.

Although she is old, she is not a woman who makes people feel disgusted. On the contrary, that woman is a woman who makes people feel very interesting and comfortable.

"After Chunlou's mother was the first to go, the other girls on the island.

be influenced by her.

I started to go to the shrine one after another on the night of the full moon, if there is a reason for doing so.

That is for the islanders to live well.

Under such circumstances, more and more women either voluntarily or were forced to go to that shrine.

The one who didn't go in the end was Xia Mu's house.

Xia Mu's parents are very enlightened parents, but in that era, there is still no doubt about the existence of the ape god. After all, there are too many people who have seen the ape god.

Moreover, the wind and rain changes on Lingfeng Island also confirmed the authenticity of the ape god's rule.

Before the night came, Xia Mu's parents took Xia Mu to the shrine, wanting to know in more detail whether the ape god was a real god or not.

After all, how could a real god make such an unreasonable request?
The ape god had been waiting in the shrine early.

It looks like a standing ape. Compared with humans, it just has a little more hair, and other parts are not completely different.

The body of the ape god is hidden in the darkness, and he can only be seen by the faint light.

Such a weak light made the ape god's body look blurry: "There are three people here!" '

The voice of the ape god was a little angry.

'monkey! '

Xia Mu, who was held in his father's arms, pointed at the ape god and shouted loudly.

At that time, Xia Mu was still very young, probably just learning to walk, but Xia Mu learned to speak and distinguish things around him much earlier than other children.

"Xia Mu, don't be disrespectful to the gods~"

Standing side by side with Xia Mu's father, the beautiful mother gently patted Xia Mu's head and said softly.

"My lord, the child is still young, I'm really sorry..."

Before the mother finished speaking, some angry ape gods exuded a terrifying breath, and the expressions on their faces became ferocious: "I am not a monkey, I am an ape god!"Ape God! ! '

'Run! '

Xia Mu's father protected his wife with his arms, and then led them to run outside the shrine.

Such an ape god is not a god at all.The gods will not have that hideous appearance.

'monkey! '

Xia Mu struggled out of his father's hands and walked towards the ape god. Xia Mu, who had just learned to walk, was not very stable when he walked, and his body was crooked.

"Xia Mu, come back quickly..."

Xia Mu's father ran towards Xia Mu, and at this time, the ape god had already arrived in front of Xia Mu.

The tail behind him wrapped around Xia Mu's neck.

Apes don't have tails, monkeys only have tails, so the one in front of him is basically a monkey that has acquired some spiritual power through cultivation.

Compared with apes, monkeys are far behind.

This is probably why it claims to be an ape god.

When the monkey's tail touched Xia Mu's neck, the monkey's body stopped suddenly.

Moreover, the black gas on the monkey's body gradually floated out of its body and dispersed into the air.

Soon, the monkey turned into a monkey that was no different from an ordinary monkey. "

The white dog looked at Xia Mu and said slowly.

"In the following time, I went to inquire about you. That kind of ability is called, exorcism, which is a spell to dispel the spiritual power in the monster's body. This kind of spell is not acquired through practice, but It is obtained due to the congenital blood and one's own constitution."

White Dog continued.

Xia Mu didn't listen to the words behind the white dog, because at this time, what Xia Mu wanted to know was not these!
"When you were five or six years old, Grandpa Liu took us to go fishing together and met a water ghost. It was precisely because you used this spell to dispel the spiritual energy in the water ghost's body and rescued Grandpa Liu..."

White Dog said hastily.

"Xiaobai, don't hide from me, my parents, why did they leave me..."

Xia Mu looked at the white dog and asked seriously.

At this time, Xia Mu's eyes showed a kind of determination, which seemed to be a kind of burning power.

"You turned the ape god into an ordinary monkey, and the land on Lingfeng Island is barren, and people are gradually unable to survive.

The islanders finally took their anger out on your family.

Your parents concealed the fact that you dispelled the spiritual power of the ape god that day, and resisted all the anger by themselves.

And you are entrusted to an islander who can be trusted, that is, Grandpa Liu. "

The white dog looked down at the ground. When he said these words, the white dog didn't dare to look at Xia Mu.

Because, I don't want to see Xia Mu sad.

"I see……"

Xia Mu raised his head and looked at the sky. It was pitch black, but in the sky like a black curtain, a dim star appeared faintly in the east corner.

--Venus!

In the dark night, the wind blows and the leaves rustle.

Xia Mu's clothes and hair were also gently stroked by the breeze: "They are really great!"

……

Inugami blocked the slender toad, and the bird was able to fly high into the sky, which was already so high that those creatures without wings could not approach.

In such a place, Gu Huo Niao can finally deal with those nasty bugs crawling on her body with peace of mind.

The number of bugs is huge, and what Guhuo Bird can do is to keep slapping down those bugs that climbed up to the neck, but those bugs just landed, and immediately flapped their wings and flew to Guhuo Bird's body.

What a nuisance.

"What a bunch of tough guys..."

Gu Huo Niao said to herself, then pulled out her umbrella sword and threw a bug that was about to fly onto her body.

pierce!

On the tip of the steel umbrella with a faint cold light, a very small bug, like a black spot, was quietly pierced through the body...

　Good night, touch your head~
