The Story of the Miko

"After he left, I was the only one left in the huge courtyard. By the way, there was another one. Although it could change color and disguise itself in various colors, I could still smell its scent. It followed me all the time. I But I don't know where it is, because it is earthy yellow when it stands on the ground, dark green when it stands in the leaves, and ocher yellow when it climbs on the trunk. I picked up a dead branch and it was still on the ground. I just took two steps. As soon as I heard a 'creak', I immediately rushed to catch it and forced it to take shape.

He told me that he used to be a very ordinary lizard, catching larvae and birds in this yard to eat. Later, when he was by the lotus pond, he saw him lying on the bank with both arms and the lower half of his body submerged in the water. He taught him to stand on two legs and walk, and taught it some simple spells, and it became his servant. "

"'My master is very good, a very rich and good master.' It murmured and followed me. Do you know his name then? And do you know what avatar he was? He seemed Embarrassed, he argued: "No matter what he is, he is my master, the best master." We went to the hospital and pushed away the largest master bedroom in the yard. It was full of dust and there was no one there for a long time. Lived. He doesn’t seem to live in the room, every room is full of dust, everything inside has not been touched, only the study room still looks clean, there is a Guqin in front of the window, and a mess on the desk. The pile of books seems to be flipped frequently. I walked over and flipped through them, but at that time I just turned into a human form. Although I was taught to learn some Chinese when I was a dog wolf, most of the characters in it were incomplete. , that lizard seemed to be visiting this kind of place for the first time, and when it knew that it was its master's study, it retreated outside the door, waving its two paws and chanting."

"Is there anything like a painting inside?" Kagome opened his eyes and looked at Inuyasha.

He recalled carefully: "A portrait of a woman. The woman lowered her head and glanced at the ground, holding a book in her hand. There are also landscape paintings and the like. There is also a chess board on a bed, and the chess pieces seem to be half played. None cleaned up."

"What does that mean? Someone visits him often or is there another person living here?"

"Someone came to see him often. Afterwards, I searched all the rooms in this mansion, even the kitchen and firewood room. Except for the boy in the water and this lizard with a strange accent language, I couldn't find him anymore. The second person. I had to go to the lizard again and ask it, what does its owner usually like to eat? "Children." It said without thinking. Why does he like to eat children? Do you like to eat? Lizards Shaking his head vigorously: "This is the master's hobby. How can the servants spy on the master's hobby! Moreover, human beings have a sour smell, which is disgusting. I still like to eat birds and partridges." It said He licked the corners of his mouth, looking very greedy, and then showed a discouraged look: "But once, I caught a yellow babbler on a tree, and the owner saw it just after I put it in my mouth. He was very displeased." He was so happy that he even frowned, and asked me that lizards are omnivores and can eat so many things, why would they eat birds. The first time he lost his temper at me, I was very scared, and I never ate birds again.' I dealt with it casually, walked with it on the corridor in the yard, and asked inadvertently: "Apart from children, what else does it like to eat? Such as meat? Vegetables? Like carrots or grains."

It followed me, wandered around and said, "My master doesn't like these things, uh, he likes to drink water, especially clean water, rootless water and morning dew." I thought it was very strange, so I asked: "He must eat something. Drinking water is a must for every monster, but besides drinking water, should he need to eat something else? The lizard thought for a long time, 'Anyway, he doesn't eat meat, see I am very disgusted with eating meat.’ Then he still eats children, aren’t children meat?’ My master said that, it was because of surgery, he needed it because he was in poor health, he had no choice but to do so.’ I ignored it, I kept walking forward, but I didn’t expect the porch to lead to the backyard. After stepping through the small stone gate in the yard, I couldn’t help but be stunned by the sight in front of me. This place is almost a small island with towering ancient trees, especially Next to the courtyard wall, there is a huge sycamore tree, with luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun, I thought why should I try to guess some stupid riddles, I just need to climb out from here."

"I walked forward without making a sound and got up. The lizard also crawled beside me and said, "You haven't guessed the question the master gave you yet." I ignored it and kept climbing up. "You can't get out if you can't guess the master's question. Don't struggle, let's continue to guess the question." When I reached the tree trunk next to the wall, I planned to walk over and climb over the wall, but"

Inuyasha sat down and looked at Kagome with a helpless look: "I really can't escape, because the whole backyard is next to a cliff, I just need to climb over the wall and I will be left to jump off the cliff. The lizard climbed over again and said:' Don't think about running away, they say you can't escape, stay and guess the questions slowly." So, what does your master like? I squatted on the tree trunk and looked towards the cliff for a long time, so I had to turn my head Go ahead and ask the lizard."

"'Since you don't know what your master likes to eat, you have to know what he likes to do, right?' I got up from the trunk, walked back, and went down to the tree, watching the lizard climb up the tree with its head down, showing The ugly black eyes heard him say: "The master likes to play the guqin. Every time he plays the guqin, he forgets the time and is crazy like drunk." You can remember this very clearly. I dismiss it and let it walk out slowly The courtyard. Suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Does your master often have guests, and acquaintances also come to visit your master?" It recalled carefully and said, "There is only one person who came to visit my master." , but I’m still a lizard, and I can’t wait on me. Every time he comes, the master will emerge from the depths of the lotus pond, and the two of them will stand by the pond and have a conversation, or play chess in the study, but he doesn’t come often. Every time I come, I stay for a while.'”

"I was very excited when I heard this, and I quickly asked: 'Then how did he get here? Did he go through the front or the side door? Over the wall? Or something?"

"He came riding a white tiger. Every time he came, the tiger was not allowed to enter the courtyard. He was basking in the sun in a sunny place on the courtyard wall. He walked over and opened the front door by himself."

"It's a human being. I suddenly had a thought in my mind. I felt that I seemed to understand it, so I went to the study to read it carefully. There was an inscription on the picture of a woman. I understood a few words, it should be someone who likes it." My girl, although the room is messy, it is very clean and there is no trace of dust. It is not common to be friends with humans. Because of the relationship between races, everyone is still isolated. So I ran to the lotus pond to meet him .”

"He came up from the depths, with black hair and jet-black eyes. I told him that his original form should be a human being. After hearing this, he smiled slightly and said: 'I have become like this, which is very different from human beings. Relationship, but unfortunately, I am not human. I want to play this guessing game with you because I have forgotten myself for too long, and I almost can’t find my original shape. Now that you are here, let me restore my memory and let me To remember who I am, to remind myself of a special time in the past that was only me."

"What exactly is he?" Kagome asked in a low voice, clutching the quilt.

"I also want to know, so that I can escape from this man-eating house. I just encountered such a bad luck in human form, and I have to accompany a koi to guess riddles. I don't think I really know, so I asked him Can you give me a hint."

"He said that the Green Nightmare was by my side, and he has given me enough hints. Also, I only have one last chance." The head floating on the water sank slowly, nose and mouth overflowing the water, The last is the eyes, he sank quietly into the water, and there was no movement in the lotus pond.

"I was very confused at the time, so I asked the lizard who was retreating behind, what is your master, why is it so mysterious, don't you know at all? There was a look of worship in its eyes, 'My master is powerful and supreme. , is the best master in the world." I really want to despise it. In its eyes, its master is a god, with boundless demon power and can't eat the fireworks of the world. But I think the reason why I didn't guess right is because I still If you don’t ask the details, or don’t ask the idea, as long as you ask the right question, you can have a flash of inspiration.”

"That's right, that's right, Inuyasha, do you have this kind of time too? I do too." Kagome echoed, tugging at Inuyasha's sleeve.

"Oh?" He narrowed his eyes into a slit, and glanced at Kagome with sharp eyes from the slit, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, "Why don't I know that you will still be like this, when will you be like this A flash of light?"

"Uh, when I was doing math problems." Kagome said while pointing her index finger under the quilt. "Don't talk about this, let's talk about it, I'm really listening."

"I didn't figure out the answer to this riddle until dawn, and I didn't dare to go forward to answer it rashly. I was tired and sleepy, but the little demon who wandered away with me returned to my cousin's house, and the next morning I woke up and found that I was not there. I knew that the matter was serious and I couldn’t hide it anymore, so I told my cousin. He also knew that his neighbors were not easy to mess with. Greeted Tang Shu, and said: "I am playing around for a while, and I am tired from shopping. I think it is inconvenient to go back so late, so I stayed with him for the night." Tang Shu expressed his gratitude and wanted to take me back. , but he took me by his side and said: "This kid has only come here once, and I am dear to me, so I will give it away." When he sent me out, he said to me: "You will not forget the secret between the two of us, right?" , because it’s a secret and you haven’t answered that riddle all the time, so you have to keep it a secret, don’t you think so?” I nodded involuntarily, seeing him smile with satisfaction, and then I went back to my uncle’s house , had a good sleep, and felt that what happened that night was like a dream." After he finished speaking, he turned around and said to Xiao Mo, "Okay, this is the end of the story, you should go to sleep too."

"But you haven't told me the answer yet!" Kagome looked pitifully at Inuyasha who was about to leave.

"I've guessed the answer to that riddle for a long time. I've told you everything I need to tell you. Now I'll leave it to you to think about it slowly." After speaking, he stood up, went out and gently closed the door.
