Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 319
early morning.

The sun is shining on the earth, the birds are dancing briskly on the branches, and a new day has begun.

Monk Zhiguang and the soldier's wife had been waiting at the door all night.The soldier's wife sat on the stone steps at the door, her face full of worry, while the monk Zhiguang sat cross-legged, sitting upright at the door, slowly twisting the rosary in his hand.

Even though one night has passed, the monk Zhiguang is still in good spirits.

There is no trace of fatigue at all.

"Squeak~"

Chen Beibei opened the door. Monk Zhiguang didn't turn his head, but turned his back to Chen Beibei and asked, "Master Daoist, is it cured yet?"

"Well, it has been cured, but I haven't woken up yet, and it should take a while before I wake up."

Chen Beibei looked at Monk Zhiguang and replied to him.

At this time, the soldier's body had returned to normal, so Chen Beibei still spoke confidently.

Monk Zhiguang heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing this, then stood up and looked at Chen Beibei: "Thank you, Daoist!"

"Let's go in."

Chen Beibei looked at monk Zhiguang and the soldier's wife, and said to them.

Chen Beibei came to treat that soldier, which was actually considered a very dangerous thing.

After all, that soldier was already in a very dangerous stage and could die at any time.If that soldier died, then Chen Beibei might be suspected by the people on the island.

It is even possible to vent their anger on Chen Beibei and the others.

But fortunately, everything is fine now.

When Chen Beibei entered the room, Yingcao was standing by the window, watching the scenery outside.

Probably the things in the room are too monotonous.

After Monk Zhiguang entered the room, he walked towards the wounded soldier, probably wanting to check to see if he was really healed.

"The Daoist priest is indeed extraordinary. Yesterday he was a dying person, but today his complexion is rosy, and his pulse and breath are even."

Monk Zhiguang looked at Chen Beibei and said respectfully.

From Monk Zhiguang's expression, it can be seen that he is indeed admiring from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm just a wandering Taoist priest who happened to know the secret method to heal burns. Master Zhiguang doesn't need to praise you so much, little Taoist priests can't bear it..."

Chen Beibei looked at Master Zhiguang and said slowly.

For Monk Zhiguang, Chen Beibei still has some reverence. After all, he is also a person who has gone through hardships, studied in Fusang for 30 years, and brought Master Kukai's Dongmi Buddhism to this island.

The soldier's wife kept her head down and stood behind Monk Zhiguang. Although she was very worried, she just stood there at this time and did not go to her husband to check.

Because whether it is monk Zhiguang or Chen Beibei, to her, they are all noble adults.

Such an approach is undoubtedly very rude.

"There are only a few of us in the room. If you want to visit your husband, you don't have to stick to common etiquette."

Monk Zhiguang looked at the woman and said in a very benevolent voice.

Just listening to such a voice, it seems that the difference in status can be erased.

"Thank you Master Zhiguang!"

The woman quickly bowed to Monk Zhiguang, and then ran to her husband.

At this time, tears flowed from the woman's eyes uncontrollably: "It's really great, it's really great..."

……

"Daozhang, since he has been cured, let's go to the young master's mansion together and tell him the news."

Monk Zhiguang said.

At this time, the injured soldier was out of danger, and his body had returned to normal, but it was not yet known when he would wake up.

"I was tired of treating the burns all night yesterday, and now I'm still in a trance. It's really rude to meet the young master like this. I hope Master Zhiguang will allow us to go back and rest for a few days, and then go to meet the young master."

Chen Beibei looked at Monk Zhiguang and said to him.

Although meeting the young master was something that Chen Beibei had predicted would happen before, but now Yingcao's body is indeed very weak, so Chen Beibei had no choice but to decline.

"Okay then, the poor monk will report this to the young master alone, and the Taoist priest will go back to rest first."

After the monk Zhiguang finished speaking, he walked out of the house and walked towards the house next door.

Chen Beibei took Yingcao back to the house where he lived.

"Master, Sister Yingcao, you are back."

The little bride who was lying on the fence jumped into Chen Beibei's arms when she saw Chen Beibei and Yingcao, and said happily.

"Xiaoluo bride, why are you so happy today?"

Chen Beibei asked as he walked into the house with Yingcao.

In fact, Chen Beibei himself knew why Xiaoluo's bride was happy.

After all, Chen Beibei pointed out the way for Xun last night.

"Because the owl came to see me last night, so it still remembers us all the time!"

The bride Xiaoluo looked at Chen Beibei and said excitedly.

Xiaoluo's bride has always looked like a child, that's why she is so happy because of this kind of thing.Chen Beibei was quite envious of Xiaoluo's bride.

"The owl also said that it will come to see me often in the future, but if we go to other places next time, will the owl still be found?"

Xiaoluo Bride continued.

"It should be possible to find it."

Chen Beibei replied.

"really?"

"real!"

Chen Beibei looked at Xiaoluo's bride and replied seriously.

Xiaoluo's bride followed Chen Beibei and traveled to many places. The Hanged Ghost, who had a good relationship with her back then, disappeared for some reason.

The current Xiaolu bride, the only friend she has made is Xun.

Uh... No, there is also a mountain rabbit!
Well, the relationship between Xiaolu's bride and Shantu has been getting better and better recently.

As for Zashiki Boy and Chen Beibei, they were the ones who appeared in Xiaolu's life when she was born.In a sense, it's more like a family relationship.

"Yingcao, you should rest first. At noon, we will wake you up for dinner."

Chen Beibei looked at Yingcao and said to her.

"Well, master."

Yingcao nodded obediently, and then pulled up the quilt a little...

……

Last night, Jiaotu saw Chen Beibei and the others walking on Suzaku Avenue.

Then followed a monk and entered the area guarded by armored soldiers.

Jiaotu had no way to get there, so he could only hide behind the wall. After all, to those armored soldiers, Jiaotu was just a little girl from outside.

It is impossible for such a person to let her pass.

"Jiaotu,..."

A woman's soft voice sounded right next to Jiaotu, because the voice was very small, and Jiaotu immediately recognized it as a nightmare, so Jiaotu was not frightened.

"Dream-eating tapir, why are you here?"

Jiaotu looked around him, but he didn't see the nightmare-eating tapir, but Jiaotu still knew that the nightmare-eating tapir was by his side.

"The master is afraid that something will happen to you, so he asked me to come to you."

The nightmare-eating tapir slowly emerged, still speaking in a soft voice.

"Please come back with me."

The dream-eating tapir looked at Jiaotu and said seriously.

"Dream-eating tapir, I'm going to save Xia Mu. I haven't seen Xia Mu for a long time. I don't know what's going on with him now, so even if I go back with you, I won't be able to sleep at night. Why don't you come out and see?" Look, it might not be possible to see Xia Mu in case."

Jiaotu replied.

At this time, Jiaotu didn't want to go back to eat the nightmare. After all, Xia Mu was very important to Jiaotu.

The figure that Jiaotu transformed into was a 16-year-old melancholy girl in a blue kimono.Now Jiaotu looks helpless, at least in the eyes of the nightmare.

"In this case, then you and I have been walking outside. But don't do stupid things, and don't attract the attention of people on this island."

The nightmare-eating tapir walked to Jiaotu's side and rubbed her body a few times to show his friendliness.

The nightmare-eating tapir said so suddenly, which Jiaotu did not expect.

After all, the nightmare-eating tapir is Chen Beibei's shikigami, and now Chen Beibei asks the nightmare-eating tapir to find her.

But the nightmare-eating tapir also took Jiaotu's mood into consideration.

"Thank you, Nightmare Eater."

Jiaotu didn't refuse, but nodded, and walked into a small street with the dream-eating tapir.

Jiaotu and the nightmare-eating tapir walked outside for a long time.

Finally, it stopped by a river, and the river flowed silently at night.

"Jiaotu, do you like Xia Mu very much?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"I don't know, maybe it's just because I like the feeling of being with him. As long as I'm with Xia Mu, I feel very safe, as if I don't have to worry about anything."

Jiaotu looked at the nightmare-eating tapir and replied slowly.

After Jiaotu finished answering, he looked at the nightmare-eating tapir for a moment, and then slowly asked: "So, does the nightmare-eating tapir like anyone?"

"Ah, no, I'm just a monster with consciousness. It may not be certain when it will disappear suddenly, and the appearance of me and humans is too different. If there are humans who know that I like them , will probably be frightened..."

The nightmare-eating tapir lowered his head shyly, probably because he has lived for so long and still has no one he likes.That's why I feel a little shy.

"So... so, it's better not to fall in love with humans..."

The nightmare eater continued.

As for the nightmare-eating tapir, Jiaotu had never talked to her before. After all, both of them were the type who didn't like to talk.

But now, after just talking for a while, they have already revealed their true thoughts to the other party. Probably in their hearts, they already feel that the other party will be a reliable friend.

Jiaotu seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and a surprised smile appeared on his face: "By the way, nightmare-eating tapir, you can be invisible, right?"

"That's right, I don't have a consciousness of form. The appearance you see now is just a change I made for you to see."

The dream-eating tapir looked at Jiaotu and said slowly.

"In this case, you can pass through the guards of those armored soldiers and enter there, right?!"

Jiaotu continued.

"It might work."

The nightmare-eating tapir replied.

"Then, dream-eating tapir, please go in and find Xia Mu. Although there is no way to rescue him, if I can know that Xia Mu is still alive, I can feel at ease..."

Jiaotu looked at the dream-eating tapir and asked her.

The river in front of me was still flowing silently, and the moon reflected in the river looked exactly the same as the moon in the sky.A fish flicked its tail slightly, and the moon in the water gradually became blurred...

"So that's the case. If it can make Jiaotu feel more at ease, then I will try."

The dream-eating tapir looked at Jiaotu and said slowly.

After the nightmare-eating tapir finished speaking, it gradually turned its body transparent, and then disappeared in front of Jiaotu.

I just went to those houses to find Xia Mu. Such a thing was originally a very simple matter for the nightmare.After all, every night, even if they are not looking for anything, the nightmare-eating tapir will sneak into other people's homes and eat other people's dreams to maintain their own energy.

……

The nightmare-eating tapir easily walked past those armored soldiers, without attracting their attention.

This is quite normal for a nightmare.

There is a mountain on the left of Suzaku Avenue, but at this time, the trees and the He Mao Ancestral Hall built in the mountain have been burned into a pile of ruins.

The dream-eating tapir walked to the right, and He Maozong's mansion was engraved in big characters on a huge stone.

After walking through this boulder, there is a promenade, a lake with lotus roots.

"Ah, so the master and Yingcao are here to treat the soldiers."

The dream-eating tapir saw Yingcao and Chen Beibei, but the dream-eating tapir didn't go to say hello. After all, at this time, Yingcao was concentrating on treating the soldier's burns.

The nightmare eater didn't want to distract her.

The nightmare-eating tapir continued to walk here. The houses inside were all beautifully decorated, and the furniture was made of high-quality wood.And many people's homes will hang some precious scrolls.

"Xia Mu probably won't be in these places."

The dream-eating tapir looked for it for a long time, and was a little discouraged. After all, Xia Mu was captured by the onmyoji in the red kimono.So the nightmare-eating tapir began to doubt whether Xia Mu would be locked up by these people.

There was no place to detain prisoners in He Maozong's mansion, at least the nightmare-eating tapir was not found.

But even so, the nightmare eater still intends to take a look at every room in it. After all, the nightmare eater has promised Jiaotu to come to Xia Mu before.

The nightmare-eating tapir didn't want to be perfunctory with Jiaotu.

"Since you have agreed, then cheer up and check it carefully."

The nightmare-eating tapir found every room, every room.

It was already two or three o'clock in the morning, so almost everyone had already fallen asleep.Not to mention that the nightmare-eating tapir came in by stealth, even if it was not invisible, those people would not find the nightmare-eating tapir...
