I was spotted by the big guy in Ping An Jing

When Hitomi Kuwashima woke up the next day, he could no longer see the little fox.

Run away by yourself, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an ordinary fox.

I don't know how it hurt.

Saying goodbye to Orion, Hitomi Kuwashima went down the mountain.

After cleaning up the ghosts in Mantuo Mountain and Mantuo Town, Wu Mi was not found, so he returned to the capital.

Maybe the Onmyojis went back last night.

However, the atmosphere in the capital was different from the last time I came here. People were panicked, and the faces of passers-by were full of fear.Hitomi Kuwashima inquired a little, only to find out that the onmyojis hadn't come back until now.

Moreover, nearly ten people were missing in the city.

"The monsters this time are really powerful. I'm afraid this Ping'an capital will be unsafe again." The uncle who sold vegetables before said.

Hitomi Sang Dao was sitting next to him eating steamed buns, and keenly caught the word: "again?"

"A year ago, there was a nine-tailed demon fox who made a riot, and the mountain was burned for seven days and seven nights, and it almost burned to the capital."

As the uncle said, the tragedy seemed to reappear in front of his eyes: "Actually, the nine-tailed demon fox is alright, but the scariest thing is the 'ghost fox'. They look extremely creepy, with sharp horns on their foreheads, dark green eyes, and floating limbs. They look like ghosts. . Drink human blood, eat human flesh, teeth and mouth are blood red."

Sounds like Hyakumonogatari.

Hitomi Sangshima asked again: "Uncle, what happened to the missing person?"

She should have killed all the ghosts in the capital.

"It came from the mountain pass in the north. It is said that those people never came back after going up the mountain," said the uncle. "No, no one knows the truth."

To the north, isn't it the mountain where the shrine was before?

She was going to return the maiden costume, just in time to check on the situation.There is also a ghost in the shrine.

After saying goodbye to his uncle, Hitomi Kuwashima rushed towards the shrine.

***

In the mountains, the feeling of weirdness is heavier than before.

Not long after entering the mountain, it began to drizzle, and the gray mist filled the air.

Sa——

Gradually, some voice reverberated, sometimes distant and sometimes near.

Hitomi Kuwashima listened intently.

It was the sound of bells, and a large string of bells at that.But the sound is not crisp, it seems very old.

Another strange team appeared in the distant mist.

Hitomi Kuwashima stared closely, and subconsciously stretched one hand behind her back, trying to get the Japanese sword.

He didn't hold the handle of the knife, but touched a cold hand!

what? !

Hitomi Kuwashima's hair all exploded, and he turned around and kicked back!

At the same time, she saw clearly the person standing behind - an old woman with a wrinkled face.

"It's getting dark, girl." The old woman's smile was kind and a little fake.

shit.

Hitomi Kuwashima withdrew his legs, still in shock.

Grandma, please don't be scary.

As if hearing her inner voice, the old woman smiled and said, "Hehehehe... I'm sorry for scaring you."

"It's getting dark, what are you still doing here?" she asked.

it's getting dark?

Hitomi Kuwashima frowned and looked around.The sun has set, and it is the legendary "time of encountering the devil", and soon the forest will be dark.

……wrong!

As a member of the Ghost Killing Squad who has been fighting outside all the year round, she is very sensitive to changes in the environment: she entered the mountain early in the morning, and the time has passed by at most two hours, how could it be dark?

And the previous team was gone again.

"Did you see anything there?" Hitomi Kuwashima pointed in that direction.

The old lady shook her head, but her cloudy eyes never moved away from Hitomi Sang Dao: "Is there no place to live, child?"

"..."

"If you don't mind, come to my house and stay for one night."

"..."

When did the old lady approach her, she didn't notice at all.

There were no footsteps.

The most important thing is that she touched the other's hand, which was delicate and smooth, a little more delicate than this little girl.

And those who disappeared before...

Hitomi Kuwashima did not show any doubts on his face, and pretended to be surprised: "Really?!"

The old woman nodded with a smile.

"That's great! Actually, I lost my way in the mountains, and I was worried that I couldn't find a place to stay," said Sang Dao · Xi Jing · Hitomi online, "Then I will trouble you!"

"I can't bear to let the little girl spend the night in the mountains."

The old lady's gaze stayed on Sang Dao's back for a moment: "Son, can you carry me?"

Hitomi Kuwashima: "...Huh?"

"Actually, old man, I'm too tired, I can't walk anymore, and I'm worried about dragging the girl down."

"I see."

The corners of the old woman's mouth were bent, and a strange light flashed in her eyes, but Hitomi Kuwashima continued to say——

"There's a big rock over there, I'll help you go there to rest, rest for as long as you want, we'll go when we've rested enough," Hitomi Sang Dao said while nodding, "Go slowly when the time comes, don't worry. "

"..." The old woman seemed to be grinding her teeth, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Just kidding, how could a swordsman put down his knife.

This old woman is very strange——

Not a ghost.

But even less of a person.

Afterwards, Hitomi Sangshima helped the old lady to the home she mentioned.

It is a village in the mountains.

Fences are erected around the village, and several strings of orange paper lanterns hang high at the gate.It is obviously a festive thing at the festival, but it makes people feel unspeakably weird.

Noticing her gaze, the mother-in-law explained: "Someone in the village got married again today," she smiled deeply, "A lot of good things have happened recently."

Hitomi Kuwashima absently responded.

A villager was busy at the door, straightened up to say hello, and at the same time glanced at Hitomi Sang Dao: "I'm back."

Granny: "Yes."

The village is bigger than Hitomi Kuwashima imagined.

There is a big tree in the middle, surrounded by wooden houses dotted with candlelight from the windows.There is a wooden house that is obviously larger and has two floors. The mother-in-law said that it is the place where the patriarch lives.

Looking further away, there is a mountain top, and the buildings built on the mountain are larger than any previous ones.

There are five stories high, Qionglouyuyu, carved beams and painted buildings, which are comparable to the emperor's palace.

Every window lattice reveals lights, the eaves are covered with lanterns, and are also decorated with red curtains.

If the nearby lights are scattered like stars, that place is the place where the moon shines brightly.

"Don't approach rashly over there."

If the appearance of her mother-in-law was unpredictable before, but now Hitomi Sang Dao reads a bit of real pride: "That is the place where the most noble son of my family lives!"

tsk...

Hitomi Sang Dao couldn't help slandering: What kind of style is your son, and you live in a higher class than the patriarch.

***

At this time, in the palace——

The young man was reclining on the couch with a graceful posture, resting his head on one hand, looking at the handkerchief in the other hand, his white fox ears moved slightly.

The handkerchief was light yellow, decorated with a triangular pattern, and embroidered with the words "Evil Ghost Slayer" on one corner.

It was the guy who bandaged his wound.

After returning, he changed back into a human form, and the handkerchief fell from his body lightly, and was put away by accident.

A girl, why embroider these characters?

Thinking about the situation at that time, and I don't know how long he was in a daze, the corners of Yuzao's front lips loosened uncontrollably: "Heh."

"..." Realizing that he was laughing, he twitched his eyelashes, pursed his lips, and returned to his aloof look. There seemed to be a thin layer of frost on his beautiful face.

"Tamamo, I heard that there is a big harvest today——!"

There was a sound at the door.Tamamo made a backhand, and the handkerchief disappeared.

It was Tu Shan who came.

That day he escaped with the help of Yuzaoqian, waited and waited, and finally waited for Yuzaoqian who returned from injury two days ago.

Tu Shan cried uncontrollably and vowed never to lose control again.

"Guess who?"

Knowing that Yu Zaoqian would not cooperate with him, Tu Shan revealed: "It's a girl with a bamboo tube on her back. I checked it out, and Yuanshen smells very good!"

Tu Shan doesn't take human affairs to heart, so he naturally forgets what he has encountered before, but Yuzao is different.

His expression changed slightly, and he slowly sat upright from the couch.

……and many more.

Wouldn't it be what he thought? !

Tu Shan was pleasantly surprised by Yuzao's previous reaction: "Tamazao, you are also moved, right! Right, right!"

"—let's go and suck her up tonight!"

Before Tu Shan was finished, he was thrown aside by Yuzao's paw: "Get out."

Looking again, the figure in front of Yuzao has disappeared, leaving only the two opened windows shaking slightly.

Tu Shan:? ? ?

in such a hurry?
