Twelve Trials from Scratch

boom! !

Amidst the muffled sound of knocking on stones, the big guy under him was stunned, subconsciously stomped his feet, plowed the ground with four claws, and dragged four long marks on the ground.

Glancing at the lake in front of him, Su Qi jumped down lightly.Immediately afterwards, the strange beast that fell into the illusion fell to the ground because it could not control its body, continued to roll, and finally crashed into the lake with a bang, causing a big splash.

"elder sister!"

At this time, another strange beast with the shape of a white lion, with curly mane like a cloud, very similar to the guy just now rushed out of the forest.

Su Qi crushed the ground with one foot, and shot out like an arrow. He was about to raise his knife and send another dream bubble, but the latter suddenly braked suddenly and shouted: "Wait, wait, this is a misunderstanding, please don't hit me !"

While speaking, the lion-like beast rolled on the ground and turned into a cute boy with white hair and curly hair, barely stopping in front of Su Qi.

……

A while later, in a clean open space by the lake, a wet loli with bulging pink cheeks and a face full of unwillingness and a cute and well-behaved lady knelt side by side in front of Su Qi.

"You..." Kikyo sized up the two siblings in front of him, and tentatively said, "It should be a Koma dog, right?"

"As you said, we are indeed the guardian beasts in front of the shrine, the Koma dog." Zhengtai bowed down and apologized, "I'm very sorry, my sister was too impulsive just now. She thought you were the subordinates of the mirror demon. I also ask for your understanding."

"Mirror demon?" Su Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is it also collecting dead souls?"

"Yes, that monster is expanding its sphere of influence with the help of the Jade of the Four Souls. The villagers of several villages have already been fascinated by it."

Su Qi's eyes flickered, "Jade of the Four Souls, Dead Soul, I smell the high-quality experience pack."

The Koma dog siblings who cameo are from "The Diary of a Girl with Cat Ears"...

Chapter 56 Huh, of course the result

After that, he asked about the situation of the siblings in detail.

They are Koma Inu, or in other words, monsters transformed from the stone statues of Koma Inu in front of shrines and temples.

The so-called Koma dog is actually a lion in essence, and it was called 狻猊 in ancient China.They were originally Buddhist guardian beasts, and later spread from India to China, Korea, and Japan, and gradually evolved into guardian beasts and mascots guarding the gates of shrines and temples.

Koma dog is a new term created by the Japanese. It is generally the collective name of the two guardian beasts in front of the shrine.Strictly speaking, a Koma dog refers to a lion with a single horn on its head, which is a transformed image of a lion.

In the beginning, the two stone statues guarding the front of the shrine were actually lions. Later, perhaps to distinguish them from ordinary lions, they gradually evolved into a paired image of a male and a female, a lion and a koma dog.

The male is a lion and the female is a koma dog.The lion has no horns and has a wide open mouth, while the koma dog has horns and the mouth is slightly open to show teeth.So seriously, the older sister Tokaku is a Koma Inu with a small one-horn on her head, while the younger brother Shishimaru is a lion. Although he looks similar to his older sister, he has no horn on his forehead.

Perhaps because of being portrayed as a Koma dog, although the two siblings are actually monsters transformed from stone statues, they never behave like ordinary monsters. They also have the special ability to discover gods, Buddhas and shrines, and to distinguish between good and evil.

And their favorite thing to do is to guard the shrine, even if they have been guarding the gate of the shrine for dozens or hundreds of years, they will not feel bored.But now, because of a certain monster named "Rainbow Mirror", the two of them are driven out by humans from the shrine that has been guarding.

Since the birth of consciousness, that not-so-big shrine has been guarded by them for hundreds of years. It is like a home for them, and it is impossible to give up no matter what, so they decided to fight with the monster. fight to the end.

As the name suggests, Hong Jing is a mirror demon.It can confuse human beings through illusions and devour human soul power and essence.After accidentally obtaining the Jade of the Four Souls, this guy's ability has greatly increased, and his ambition has also increased. Not only the souls of the living, but also the souls of the dead are not going to let go, so he specially sent people to hold his own body, and go to the nearby The region wantonly collects dead souls.

Different from the calm and polite younger brother, Dule, the elder sister with horns on her head, is aggressive and impulsive by nature. When she first saw Su Qi and Kikyo collecting dead souls, she thought they were the subordinates of the mirror demon, so she acted recklessly. attack.

"Sister, you really should learn to calm down." The younger brother Shishimaru is still an eleven or twelve-year-old lady, but his face is full of helplessness and sorrow, like an old father who has broken his heart, "Both You don’t have a mirror on your body, and your attire is also different from those people, you can find out if you take a calm look, right?”

"Hmph..." Lori, who was also wearing a small practice uniform in white and scarlet hakama, with long curly hair and thick eyebrows and animal ears, tilted her head and curled her lips, and said with a dissatisfied expression: "Anyway, they are all bad guys who steal dead souls. What's wrong with that? Shishimaru, you're too wordy."

"Sister!" Shishimaru's face darkened, "You shouldn't be talking nonsense when the situation is unclear, and apologize to the two adults!"

Du Le shrank her head subconsciously, and then she said stiffly: "I... I am not wrong, why should I apologize?"

"There should be a reason for the two adults to do this. If you don't believe me, use your ability to take a look."

"Ability?" She hesitated for a while, looked at Su Qi and Kikyo on the opposite side, and finally gritted her teeth: "Just look, it must be a bad person anyway..."

After all, he mobilized his demonic power and used his ability to distinguish between good and evil. The golden light in his eyes flowed, and he first took a photo of Su Qi, the villain who gave him a hard hit just now.

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?" Du Le's eyes widened, and he said incredulously, "How is it possible? The guy who let me see hell is actually a good person!?"

"Hmph, of course the result." Su Qi crossed his arms and said proudly: "As far as the qualifications to be a good person, as an elite member of the FFF group and the police group in my own house, I will not lose to anyone."

Oops!Is it really the wrong person?

Du Le started to panic, ignored Su Qi's strange words and deeds, turned to look at Kikyo, and was taken aback again, "Eh!? Why is my aura so weak? But the merit is... great kindness?"

lost!I was wrong!

Good and evil have been separated, animal ear loli's body softened immediately, and ORZ fell to the ground with a frustrated face.

Su Qi heard what she said just now, but he was a little curious: "The so-called distinguishing between good and evil, is it to look at the merits of others?"

"Yes." Shishimaru respectfully said: "The essence is to borrow the eyesight of gods and Buddhas to perceive the color of other people's souls and the light of merit."

Su Qi turned to look at Kikyo, "So, in the eyes of gods and Buddhas, you are not evil or a monster right now?"

The latter was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The gods and Buddhas are not absolutely correct, and the merits and sins are just the accumulation of past actions."

"You are really... strict with yourself..."

Su Qi shook his head, then turned to Shishimaru and said, "Where is your shrine? How far is it from here?"

"Are the two adults willing to help?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the latter's eyes.He had seen it before, the one in front of him easily subdued his sister, obviously much better than his two brothers and sisters; with their help, maybe the shrine could really be taken back from the mirror demon.

"Of course." Su Qi smiled slightly, "After all, we are good people and great kind people, but before that..."

"before that?"

He turned his head and looked at a dodgy animal-eared loli, "But before that, as an apology for the reckless attack just now, I hope Miss Dule can agree to one condition."

Shishimaru was startled for a moment, then his eyes were alert, and he said seriously: "Can you tell us what the conditions are first?"

Although he doesn't think the two in front of him are bad people, but when it comes to his sister, he can't easily make promises.If the conditions were really embarrassing, he made up his mind that even if he abandoned the shrine, his sister would not be harmed.

"What... under what conditions?"

At this time, Du Le stood up by himself and stood in front of his younger brother.

Her face was flushed, and she looked up at Su Qi. Although there was a little fear in the depths of her eyes, she still puffed out her small chest, trying to make herself look fearless, and said loudly: "If you can help us take our home back, we will I can do anything."

"elder sister!"

"Don't be so nervous." Su Qi reached out and touched the little head of Beast Ear Lolita, with a meaningful smile on his face, "I just want you to give us a ride, it's not a difficult question Right?"

Du Le's body trembled, and he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

……

Then, at nightfall, Su Qi rode Dule, Kikyo rode Shishimaru, and the two of them rushed directly to the village closest to the shrine.

Chapter 57 Wonderful Vision

"It's too hard, whether it's a loli or a mount, it's seriously unqualified."

Arriving at the entrance of the village, Su Qi shook his head regretfully after getting off Du Le who had transformed into a Koma dog.

"Hmph, people are originally made of stone, it's just a matter of course."

The latter turned into a human form, with pink cheeks puffed up and a face full of anger.But he didn't know that it was because he was not suitable to be a mount that he escaped unharmed, otherwise Su Qi might really find a way to abduct the siblings and turn them into pets.

After all, compared to them who are monsters, the two horses temporarily placed elsewhere are far behind in stamina, intelligence, speed, and combat power.

Ignoring the bickering between the two, Kikyo walked straight past them and came to an old tree with a crooked neck in front of the village entrance.She raised her head slowly, and saw several mummified corpses in monk's or practitioner's attire hanging from the trees, shaking slightly with the night wind.

"they are?"

"It should be someone passing by, or someone who came to get rid of the demon after finding something abnormal." Shishimaru walked over, bowed with his hands together, and said in a low voice: "That monster confused the villagers' minds, and ordered them to Monks, mages, priests and other people were all arrested and sent to the shrine. All the captured people were swallowed by it to swallow their souls and energy, and then turned into mummified corpses and hung them at the entrance of the village.

"At the beginning, if we weren't physically strong, we might have been caught by them. Later, although we would have given warnings when we encountered them, there were still people who passed by here without knowing it and were caught by them."

"That guy is very bloated." Su Qi also walked over, looked at the mummies and said, "I just don't know if it's stupid, but I still have confidence."

"Master Jianxin, what should we do next?"

He glanced at Kikyo, thought for a while, and said, "That guy is in the shrine, right?"

"Yes, it's just that there is an enchantment guard outside the shrine, and we don't know where it is hiding."

"When is the shrine least crowded?"

"Well... According to our observations, the nearby villagers go to worship at night and come back to work during the day, so there are probably fewer people during the day."

"Then wait until tomorrow daytime to go."

After Su Qi finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the dark village not far away, "There should be no one in the village right now, I just haven't had dinner yet, so let's go inside and find something to eat first."

"Eh? But this... seems a little bad, doesn't it?"

"Don't worry, I'll pay."

……

Afterwards, the group headed towards the village.

Su Qi walked on the path in the field, looked around under the moonlight, and found that many fields seemed to be neglected and weeds had grown.You can even see a few hoes thrown directly in the field without taking them back.

After entering the village, the surroundings were dark and dead silent.When the night wind blows, every house closes its doors, and the doors and windows creak softly, like a ghost village.But of course he was fearless, and went straight to the center of the village, planning to find a richest family and "buy" a dinner in there.

"what?"

Suddenly, Su Qi stopped outside a room.

"What's wrong?" Kikyo who was following behind him asked softly.

"There are still people left."

After Su Qi finished speaking, he turned around and went back, opened the door and entered, and found a haggard old man covered in blood stains on a straw mat in the room.

As if hearing footsteps, the old man turned his head slightly, and said in a trembling voice with some ambiguity: "Cao... Cao Tai, it's you... are you back?"

Su Qi paused slightly, and was about to go forward, when the bellflower behind him suddenly grabbed him, shook his head, and then walked over slowly, his figure was revealed in the moonlight shining in from the window, and said softly: "Old man, I am a witch who happened to pass by , Come in and take a look when you hear the sound.”

"Witch... witch? Run... run!"

The old man suddenly became excited and struggled to get up.

Kikyo hurried up to help her, and after a reassurance and inquiry, she learned the whole story.

It turned out that more than a month ago, a young man in the village accidentally got a beautiful bronze mirror in a nearby stream.Then, the young man's behavior became weird.
