Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 323 Shuten and Hongye

Suzaku Forest.

After Tanaka Muyu was eaten by the ghost group, the ghost group chased after him again.

As the weak, only by relying on the shadow of the strong can they survive as much as possible.

To them, Ibaraki Doji was undoubtedly such a strong man.

"Master Ibaraki Doji, he probably won't be here, and you didn't see him..."

Yasha said in a low voice.

At this time, even Yasha didn't know if Shuten-douji was around here.

But Yasha said that because he didn't want Ibaraki-douji and Shuten-douji to meet.

Ibaraki-douji and Shuten-douji have always been good friends.

It was once rumored that there were two ghost kings on Dajiang Mountain, and one of them was Shuten-douji. Everyone knew this.

The other one is Ibaraki Doji, but only a few people think so.

However, it is undeniable that Ibaraki-douji can sit on an equal footing with Shuten-douji in the mountains and rivers, and can be called a brother.

"How is it possible, I already feel that my best friend is nearby."

Ibaraki Doji didn't care about what Yasha said, and still firmly believed in his own feelings.

After all, the reason why Ibaraki-douji woke up from Rashomon was simply that he felt the breath of Shuten-douji, the only man he was willing to follow.

Ibaraki Doji ran quickly.

not far away.

Shuten-douji was still sitting on the maple branch, drinking bowl after bowl of wine.

in a deserted place.

Drinking is also a very clean thing. Although drinking alone, there is no such sad or sad emotion.

It's just a kind of enjoyment.

When I first saw the ghost girl red, it was in the maple leaf forest, and the bleak autumn wind turned the grass and trees into withered yellow.

The trees outside have already begun to shed their leaves.

However, in the maple leaf forest, at this moment, it is a beautiful scenery like a picture.

I still remember that sunny autumn day with blue sky and white clouds.

A beautiful red woman.

The moment she turned around, her blood-colored eyes sank deeply.

"Hey, come down."

The woman in red under the tree raised her head, looked at Shuten-douji, and shouted to him.

View from top to bottom.

I still vaguely remember the whiteness like a snow mountain on the collar...

Dazzling.

Shuten Doji drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, then wiped his mouth with the back of his hand: "Do you know who I am?"

(Er Wuzi Jiu Tun: I am the mighty King of Ghosts, how could someone not know me? Hehehe!)
The ghost girl Hongye looked at Shuten Doji with a puzzled expression on her face. Since the humans in the Maple Leaf Forest were eaten up by herself, few people came back.

Even monsters.

"do not know."

Ghost girl Hongye licked her lips, then swallowed, and said slowly.

(Er Wuzi Jiu Tun: Sure enough, I was conquered by my lord's aura. Are you eager to get close to me? Lick your lips, swallow your saliva... What is this implying? Ziliu~)

Although the last gust of wind blew up the maple leaves on the ground, the beautiful woman also disappeared.

But, no matter what, Shuten-douji still put that woman in his heart.

……

night.

There is a bright moon and countless stars hanging in the sky. It is a beautiful summer night.

Yingcao, who had slept all day, slowly opened her eyes.

Although the head is still groggy, the body can still move normally.

"Is it night already?"

Yingcao supported her head and got off the bed. Two or three hours had passed since dinner.Yingcao, who suddenly thought of coming over, didn't want to continue to sleep anymore.

"Yingcao, why are you awake?"

The white slender fox standing on the window turned his head, looked at Yingcao, and asked her.

"Sister Guanhu, I want to get up and take a walk. I have slept for too long, and my head is groggy."

Yingcao looked at the white and slender fox and replied to her.

Yingcao walked to the window, and the cool wind was blowing, and Yingcao couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort and comfort.

The white slender fox was still lying quietly on the window sill, looking out at the boundless sea in the distance.

"If you live on such an island for a long time, you will definitely get tired of it. Although it is beautiful and peaceful, if the time of peace is too long, some people will find it boring."

Guan Hu said slowly.

"Sister Guanhu, why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

Yingcao looked at Guanhu and asked her.

"The people on this island are already preparing to leave here. Recently, the sound of cutting trees can often be heard. Even at night, it never stops."

Guan Hu looked at a forest on the island, held his breath and listened for a while, and then continued: "Listen..."

The forest in the distance, even under the shroud of moonlight, is still dark.

It looks a little scary.

Yingcao listened quietly, and could indeed hear the heavy sound of cutting down trees with sharp knives, like the pulse of the earth, sounding rhythmically.

"Well, I heard that too."

Yingcao looked at Guanhu and said slowly.

Building ships that cross the sea requires a lot of wood. Presumably, at this time, they cut down trees just for this.

Chen Beibei and the other shikigami had been enjoying the shade in the yard all the time. Because they heard the voices of Yingcao and Guanhu, Chen Beibei came in to have a look.

"Yingcao, you're awake..."

Chen Beibei looked at Yingcao and said to her.

"Well, master."

Yingcao looked at Chen Beibei and replied to him.

A huge black shadow passed the window, and then a large bird appeared in the yard.

Gu Huo Niao tidied up her clothes.

Then walked into the room.

"Master, the people of the Kamo clan are building ships, and they seem to be planning to leave here. And their old master is about to die..."

Gu Huoniao looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

"It seems that we have to hurry up and act. By the way, have you found Xia Mu now?"

Chen Beibei looked at Guhuo Niao and said to her.

Although the dream-eating tapir had found the home of the onmyoji who captured Xia Mu, the dream-eating tapir did not go in to look for Xia Mu without authorization. After all, there was a cat guarding the onmyoji's home.

Therefore, Chen Beibei could only tell Gu Huo Niao to pay attention to that onmyoji.

The crocodile is always flying high in the sky.

It's pretty safe as long as you don't get too close.

"I haven't seen it all the time, but that woman seldom goes out and is almost always in her room. If nothing happened to Xia Mu, she might be in that woman's room at this time."

Gu Huo Niao replied.

"Well, I already know."

Chen Beibei looked at the moon in the sky, already making plans for tomorrow in his heart.

Now I can only go to meet the young master of this island.

……

Early the next morning.

Chen Beibei went out alone, followed by the soldier from before.

now.

If Chen Beibei went out, he still needed someone to follow him.

This time, Chen Beibei didn't bring Shikishen by his side, because there were many onmyojis living in He Maozong's mansion.

If you bring shikigami with you, if those onmyoji find out, it may cause some unnecessary troubles.

"Daozhang, are you going to meet the young master?"

The middle-aged soldier followed behind Chen Beibei. Because of the previous treatment of the burnt soldier, the middle-aged soldier's attitude towards Chen Beibei has always been very respectful.

"Well, but before that, let's go see Master Zhiguang. It will be more convenient if he introduces you."

Chen Beibei looked at the middle-aged soldier and said slowly.

Chen Beibei still had a good impression of Monk Zhiguang. Whether it was his words, deeds or the aura he radiated, he was only possessed by an eminent monk.

"Okay then. I'll lead the way for the Taoist priest."

After the middle-aged soldier finished speaking, he walked in front of Chen Beibei, and then inserted into a small path: "Please follow me..."

These criss-crossing trails will eventually merge into Suzaku Avenue. The only difference is that some trails will go around farther, while others will be closer.

Chen Beibei had just arrived on the island and was still very unfamiliar with these trails, so he could only follow closely behind the middle-aged soldiers.

"Master Zhiguang lives on Qingmang Mountain, which is the mountain where He Mao's ancestral hall is located. In the past, the old master proposed to build a temple for Lord Zhiguang, and let him teach scriptures and Dharma on Qingmang Mountain. But Master Zhiguang refused."

The middle-aged soldier walked quickly, and continued to say: "Probably Lord Zhiguang didn't want to mobilize the crowd, so he just asked two or three craftsmen to build him a small wooden house. The dojo for preaching scriptures is located in the He Mao Ancestral Hall middle."

"It seems that he is indeed a very good monk."

Chen Beibei said.

Monk is a respectful title for monks, representing the most humble practitioners of Buddhism.

Chen Beibei didn't mean to despise Monk Zhiguang by calling him that.

"Well, the people on the island also respect Master Zhiguang."

When the middle-aged soldier was talking, he was still walking forward without slowing down at all, and Chen Beibei followed closely behind the middle-aged soldier.

Chen Beibei went to find Monk Zhiguang precisely because Monk Zhiguang had a high status on this island, and Monk Zhiguang also seemed to value Chen Beibei very much.

It should be better with him.

The trail in the workshop finally merged into Suzaku Avenue, and then continued to walk north, passing through the area guarded by the armored soldiers.

Going west is the direction of Qingmang Mountain.

"When He Mao's ancestral hall was burned, fortunately Master Zhiguang prayed to the gods for rain, so Qingmang Mountain was able to stay."

The middle-aged soldier was walking on the path leading to Qingmang Mountain. Even though the monk Zhiguang was not here, the tone of the middle-aged soldier's speech was still full of reverence.

The road leading to Qingmang Mountain has not undergone any artificial construction.

It's just that people have walked a lot, and it's just a twisted road created by stepping on it. Some places are relatively steep, and you need to be careful before you can pass it safely.

Walking on such a road, although it doesn't have the smooth feeling of Suzaku Avenue.

But there was a little more leisure and leisure. When walking into the Qingmang Mountain, the light was dimmed because of the shading of the branches and leaves of the trees.

The temperature is also much lower than outside.

The soil and vegetation on the ground have a moist feeling, and water will seep out of the soil when walking on it, and various birds in the forest are either flying or jumping lightly on the branches.

It gives people a feeling of deep and quiet forest.

"Daoist, if you are tired, you can take a rest here. There is a spring in this place. Generally, when you go to the He Mao Ancestral Hall to participate in the sacrifice, everyone will rest here for a while, and then move on..."

The middle-aged soldier pushed aside a bunch of plump and tender thatch, then turned sideways, pointed to the hidden spring behind the thatch, and said to Chen Beibei.

"There is no need to rest, try to see Monk Zhiguang as soon as possible."

Chen Beibei said.

The middle-aged soldier squatted by the spring, took a handful of water with his hands, and drank it contentedly. Chen Beibei also walked over. Although he didn't rest, he still had time to drink.

The spring water is clear and deep, and the rocks on the side are covered with thick black moss because they have been soaked in water all year round.

Just looking at it, Chen Beibei couldn't help swallowing: "Such clean water is rare..."

"Well, the spring water here, except for those who worship up the mountain can stop and have a sip, only on the eve of the Kamo Festival, the assigned brewer can get close. So the spring water has always maintained this appearance and has not been damaged... "

The middle-aged soldier had a simple smile on his face, looking very bright.

"By the way, talking about the wine at the Kamo Festival, it's really unforgettable."

The middle-aged soldier continued, his face full of intoxication and obsession.

The Kamo Festival is to pray for a good harvest in the coming year. It is considered a relatively important festival. On this day, everyone will dress up, especially boys and girls. After all, will they meet their favorite people at such a festival? Man, this is something no one knows.

Back then, there was an ox cart incident at the Kamo Festival where Rojo Yuki was located, so that she finally turned into a living soul under jealousy and resentment, and killed Aoi who had just given birth...

"Let's continue on our way."

Chen Beibei looked at the middle-aged soldier and said to him.

We have just entered Qingmang Mountain now, and there is no shadow of He Mao Ancestral Hall and Monk Zhiguang's residence at all, so I am afraid that we will have to walk for a long time.

Chen Beibei wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible, so he had no choice but to urge.

The middle-aged soldier didn't stop, and continued to walk into the depths of Qingmang Mountain.

In the grass on the ground, some turquoise frogs can be seen jumping from time to time, and there are many dragonflies in the shade of the forest in summer.

It can be seen that the environment on this mountain is indeed very good.

Whether it is plants or animals, it seems that they have not been damaged by humans too much. Even the trees used for shipbuilding are only from other places.

It gives people a feeling of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, which has become very rare in the outside world. Walking in such a place, Chen Beibei can't help feeling that these islanders are worthy of admiration...

　Hee hee, good night~
