Gu Shen pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "It's amazing how many of you there are."

Hiirago was expressionless: "It's amazing."

Green Ghost: "Amazing +1"

Red Ghost: "Amazing +2"

Gu Shen shrank back, and said weakly: "...I, I also have friends."

Hiirago smiled: "My little friend has already been scared away, you only have me."

Gu Shen: "..." "You can go back, remember to come on time tomorrow." Zhongwu said calmly.

"Oh, okay." Just as Gu Shen was about to leave, he asked in a low voice with some anxiety: "I won't be entangled by those things when I go back now, right?"

"With my imprint here, they dare not approach you." Zhong Wu stared at Gu Shen and said softly.

"Uh-huh."

Gu Shen couldn't help but reached out and touched the small glowing mark on his forehead, feeling a sense of security immediately.

Unexpectedly, this contract also has the effect of a talisman, so it seems that he is not too bad, Gu Shen thought to himself.

He walked all the way to the door, and when he was about to cross the threshold, Gu Shen suddenly stopped walking.

He suddenly felt that this shrine was so deserted, there was not even a single person visiting.

And why when he felt that he was about to leave, that Mr. Zhongwu looked a little lonely, and he looked so cold, he couldn't bear it.

So Gu Shen suddenly turned around, turned around and smiled slightly at Hiirago.

He waved his hand at him and said loudly: "My lord, I will definitely come to see you tomorrow on time!" His voice was soft and clean, with a kind of refreshing comfort.

His eyes were shining brightly like the stars, and the way he smiled at this moment made people feel like spring breeze and extremely warm.

Hiirago was stunned for a moment, and the hands hanging by his side couldn't help trembling slightly.

He nodded to Gu Shen, then turned around and disappeared.

"Ding dong! Congratulations to the player, the villain's blackening value has dropped by five points, and it is currently 30.00% five, please continue to work hard."

Gu Shen: "Ah! Is this person actually a big villain?"

System: "Yes, host, you have to come here on time tomorrow, or be careful not to be eaten by ghosts."

Gu Shen: "..."

You are all devils!

The next morning, before dawn, Gu Shen got up from the bed early.

As soon as he went out after washing, he saw his grandmother watering the flowers in the garden.

"Shen'er, you got up so early, where are you going?" Grandma asked with a kind smile.

"Grandma, I'm going to the shrine on Mount Chigi."

The grandmother was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Shen'er, what are you doing there?"

"Uh... I, I have a project in my school. I want to study the structure of the shrine and I need to write a thesis." Gu Shen said nonsense.

He can't say that he went to the shrine to be a servant...

The grandmother frowned and said, "Shen'er, it's okay to study architectural structures, but you must not be disrespectful to the gods."

"Besides, our Nagasawa family has always been protected by the gods on that mountain, which is why we are in today's situation."

"Since you're going today, why don't you help grandma bring some offerings and incense. Since my legs and feet are inconvenient, I seldom go there." Grandma sighed slowly, looking into the distance and lost in thought.

"Has our Nagasawa family been protected by the gods on that mountain?" Gu Shen grasped the key information in his grandmother's words.

The grandmother seemed to be in a daze, "That was a long time ago. At that time, there were constant wars and the people lived in dire straits, suffering unspeakably."

"Whenever the villagers encounter any difficulties, they will go to that temple to pray for blessings. Every time they respond to their requests, they are very effective."

"So after that, we became more sincere, and the village even sent people to renovate the shrine. But as time went by, the villagers gradually forgot about this past, and no one went there anymore. "

"It's been deserted for a long time. I heard that there are rumors of ghosts coming out recently?" Grandma asked worriedly.

"En." Gu Shen lowered his eyes and responded lightly.

"Oh, Shen'er, go back early, don't stay there for too long." Grandma paused, and then said, "It's an ominous place..."

Gu Shen was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

He just reached out and took the bamboo basket that his grandmother had just prepared, then turned around and walked towards the mountain.

The air in the mountains is very fresh, and the cool breeze gently brushes over the cheeks, bringing a little bit of coolness, which makes people feel refreshed.

After a while, Gu Shen returned to the shrine from yesterday.

As soon as he entered, he saw a man in a black Furisode kimono sitting on the steps and looking at him.

That person had a handsome face, a cold temperament, elegant and indifferent, indifferent but with icy eyes, flowing like water like moonlight, so holy that people didn't dare to yearn for him at all, and didn't dare to profane at all.

His slightly thin lips were less bloody than ordinary people's. At this moment, under the sun, his skin was so fair that it was almost transparent, as if it was shining slightly.

Gu took a deep breath, and his heart missed half a beat.

"Excuse me, is this Hiiragi-sama?" He unconsciously grabbed the hem of his clothes and asked nervously in a low voice.

"Yeah." Ichigo replied casually.

"Are you waiting for me?" Gu Shen blinked and asked with some doubts.

Hiiragi stood up slowly, straightened the hem of his clothes in a proud and dignified manner, and then walked in front of him leisurely.

He looked down at Gu Shen's delicate and fair face, set his eyes on the round and jade earlobe, and said with some contempt: "Oh, how is that possible? You are just my lowly servant."

After saying that, he straightened his back and swaggered away with his head held high.

The veins on Gu Shen's forehead twitched, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, his porcelain-like delicate face flushed red with anger.

Apart from being good-looking, this person has no advantages.

He tried his best to restrain his emotions, telling himself that he couldn't be angry, he must not be angry.

This guy is just out of his mind.

"The green ghost will tell you what you need to do. If you don't finish it today, you will have nothing to eat." His cold and thin voice came clearly from a distant place, but the person had long since disappeared.

You must be a slave owner who exploits and oppresses the broad masses of toiling people!

When Gu Shen thought that he would come to serve this old man every day in the future, he became very angry.

Can he quit this job!

But as soon as he thought that this guy was still his task target, he tried his best to calm down his anger.

Hmph, I don't know as much as you.

I am an adult with generosity.

He took a deep breath and walked towards the little boy who was waiting for him sitting on the rockery.

……

As soon as Hiirago saw that boy, he was overjoyed.

Before dawn, he got up early and sat at the door waiting for him.

He waited for a long time, and finally saw his figure the moment he stepped on the threshold.

He is so cute and so innocent.

When he looks at you with those moist and clear eyes, it's as if you are the only one in his world.

You are everything to him.

He is so earnest and sincere.

Whether it was the way he smiled sweetly with the corners of his mouth slightly bent, or when he looked at himself pitifully trembling because of fear, or the way he puffed up his cheeks slightly because he was angry and wanted to get angry but didn't dare to do so, it was always there. It tugged at his heartstrings and disturbed his thoughts.

He really wanted to get close to him like last night, but he seemed very afraid of himself.

So Hiirago thought, it's better not to see this boy for now.

In case he can't control himself, he will do something inconsistent with his identity later on.

He might not want to stay by his side.

At that time, he didn't know what reason to keep him.

After all, he had been waiting for him for so long, so long.

……

"Are you a green ghost?" Gu Shen lowered his head and asked softly.

"Yeah, you can call me Ah Qing." The little boy opened his big black eyes and whispered.

"Ah Qing, what do I need to do? Is it cleaning the yard, tidying up the altar, and offering tributes that Mr. Zhongwu said yesterday?"

"Hmm..." Qing Gui lowered his head and thought for a while, then said seriously, "Actually, we don't do those things usually, our shrine is very free, because no one comes to worship at all."

Gu Shen: "..."

No wonder it was so dilapidated that it became an abandoned shrine, and it was rumored to be haunted.

But after a while, Gu Shen thought again, but what he saw yesterday was real.

Is it...

"Ah Qing, are those terrifying ghosts last night real?" Gu Shen carefully looked around and asked with lingering fear.

"It's true." The green ghost blinked and replied seriously.

"Eh?" Gu Shen was a little surprised.

Isn't this a shrine? Why are there those dirty things?

Qing Gui looked around and saw that no one was coming.

So he suddenly leaned close to Gu Shen's ear, and whispered quietly: "These are the ghosts in the heart of the adults, and they will be released only when the adults want them to come out..."

Gu Shen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something, so this is how the darkening value came about.

So, has that person been carrying such a heavy burden alone all this time?

From so long ago, he has been called by people.

Strong prayers and beliefs make him strong, but he also bears so many undead and endless darkness.

What would he be thinking when there was so much sticky and smelly blood on his body?

How many dark nights has he lingered?

If everyone prays to him, who can he pray to?

The corners of Gu Shen's eyes turned red, and he suddenly felt his heart ache uncontrollably.

He couldn't help squatting down, clutching his chest tightly, trying to suppress the unspeakable bitterness and pain in his heart.

He thought, it must be because he was affected by the bleak and lonely environment here, that's why he couldn't control his emotions.

Yep, that's all.

Gu Shen raised his hand to wipe the wet corners of his eyes, and said to himself in his heart.

Although Qing Gui told him that there is actually nothing to do in the shrine, but Gu Shen thought about it.

Since I'm going to come to this place often in the future, I'd like to keep it clean and tidy.

At least I will feel more comfortable looking at it, not because of that arrogant guy.

He dug out the dusty and cobweb-ridden broom and mop from the corner of the shrine, and fetched a few barrels of clear well water from the backyard, and soon began the general cleaning.

Seeing Gu Shen tidying up the shrine so earnestly and hard, the green ghost scratched his head and followed him to start cleaning.

The two of them never rested for a moment from early morning to noon, and they finally managed to organize this dilapidated and abandoned shrine into a more serious shrine.

As for the more detailed work, I probably can only wait for it to be done slowly every day.

At this moment, the skirt of the clothes on Gu Shen's back was soaked, he wiped the sweat on both sides of his cheeks with the back of his hand, took another bucket of well water, took a cold shower, and changed his clothes.

The cold well water finally made him a little more comfortable. After he wrung out the towel and hung it on the clothesline, he collapsed directly on the wooden floor of the shrine, not wanting to move.

He half-closed his eyes, wanting to close them for a little rest.

Less than 10 minutes after he lay down, he heard footsteps from far to near.
