tangled ivy

Chapter 56 I knew things were not easy ([-])

In the mountains in late autumn, there is no wanton green, only the red leaves are hanging on the treetops, and the sparse leaves are desperately holding on to the branches, lest a gust of wind will blow them off.The ground was covered with thick dead leaves, covering the path.Autumn in the suburbs and the countryside, the bustle of the fields and the desertedness of the mountains are like two worlds.However, the peaceful mountain in the eyes of the world is now full of excitement, not the bustle of human beings.

Weiyu stepped on the dead leaves, creaking, beside a red butterfly, and of course, a fat cat.

"Weiyu, Weiyu, fish! Let's go catch fish!" Mr. Cat hopped on his short legs and wobbled towards the stream.

"Didn't you agree to come to find that monster..." Wei Yu was a little helpless.

The brook is rushing, singing a little song, without the turbulence of summer.In the crystal-clear river, there are a few stone fish swimming around. The brown fish has black spots on its body and breathes with its gills bulging.Occasionally chase other fish for two laps, and then return to rest lazily in the crevices of the rocks, unaware of the danger coming.

Mr. Cat deliberately slowed down his pace and approached the stream, his eyes were shining brightly, and the corners of his mouth were raised high, showing white canine teeth.It showed three long claws and quickly rushed into the water.

But an accident happened.

Because the stones by the stream were wet all the year round, a lot of moss grew on them. Mr. Cat tilted his body, accidentally lost his balance, and fell into the water with a "plop".

"Wow, teacher cat!" Weiyu hurried over.

"Hahaha, what a clumsy big fat cat." Hongfeng laughed indifferently.

After the cat teacher came out of the water, he quickly ran to Hongfeng, shook her face with water, and then put the fish in his mouth on the ground.

"Weiyu, grilled fish!"

"...Yes, yes." Weiyu said helplessly, "Teacher, be careful and get fat again."

Resigned without saying a word, went to pick up dead branches.When she came back, the fish had already been processed.

Here comes the problem...

"Fire..." Weiyu curled his lips, "Can the teacher breathe fire?"

"How is it possible, don't you have any lighters?" Teacher Cat licked his paws.

"...How could there be..." Weiyu shook his hands, "Give up...how about you eat it raw?"

With a "huchi", a blue flame ignited the dead leaves.All three of them were taken aback.

"Who?!" Teacher Cat narrowed his eyes.

"Ah, what an uneducated kitten."

"Human?" Weiyu looked at him with wide eyes, with short gray hair and a human face, he was as handsome as Kise who I had seen before.A red beak mask hung on the side of his head.Wearing a black yukata and dragging clogs.Ah, climbing a mountain in clogs?

"No, this guy is a monster! It turned out to be you... Crow" the cat's hair became soft again.

"It's rare, you, the highest-level monster who serves the mountain god, will appear here." Then he stretched out his claws to grill the fish.

...Wow, that sounds amazing.

"Madara-sama, please don't say such impolite words to Ya-sama."

"It's okay, Hongfeng, this guy has always been like this."

"Then, what are you doing here?" Mr. Cat said with one eye, "Are you going to go for a walk with this outfit?"

"Speaking of these idiots, I will come to inspect. Isn't the reason why you came here is because of that monster."

"Hmph, if it wasn't for this little Baga girl who insisted on meddling in your own business, who would come here if you are the pot in the mountains?"

"Go back, a stupid cat and a human girl are not its opponents yet." Then he picked up the grilled fish and ate it.

Weiyu puffed up her cheeks, "...Sister Hongfeng? Is he familiar with Mr. Cat?"

"He is the highest patron saint under the seat of the mountain god—Ootengu, um, Madara-sama? Well, let him tell you by himself, it seems that a long time ago, when Madara-sama came to this mountain to do evil, the two fought One, I know it. It’s been a long time since now, and Lord Crow at that time was not the highest patron saint here.”

"Girl, come here."

"?" Weiyu jumped over suspiciously.

Crow looked up and down, "Sure enough, they are Lingzi's descendants. No one would believe that there is no blood relationship."

"Right, except for the innocence, temperament, and nosy personality, the whole family is like that."

"Mr. Cat, are you complimenting me?" Weiyu raised his eyebrows.

"Well, you won't listen anyway." Crow seemed a little helpless, and then drew a strange talisman on Weiyu's forehead, "If you didn't meet a high-level monster like us, you wouldn't be able to recognize you as a human. You are going to let her go into the depths of the mountain without any attire, what are you thinking, Madara?"

"With her strength, it would be strange for those old and dim-eyed people in the mountains to recognize her."

"Whatever you want, in short, you must leave here when it gets dark."

"Thank you." Crow, in fact, is a tsundere.No words are judged.

"Hongfeng, go back to your post, if you drag others in at will next time..."

"Yes, Hongfeng knows."

"Sorry, Madara-sama, Natsume-sama, due to the martial law in the mountains, please forgive me to leave first."

However, an autumn rain broke Weiyu's decision to leave before dark.

After visiting all kinds of strange monsters in the mountains with Mr. Cat, Weiyu discovered that although everyone knew that the monster that ate people had escaped, no one knew its specific whereabouts. When we were about to go down the mountain, it started to rain.

Unexpected heavy rain...

In other words, Weiyu and Teacher Mao were successfully trapped in the mountains.This monstrous mountain actually blocked the signal, and the "gate" to the outside world was also closed due to the influence of the rain, and humans stopped coming.

"This is terrible, the mountains in autumn...it's very dangerous at night."

"Ah Chi," Wei Yu shivered abruptly.

"Idiot, you'll catch a cold."

Hiding in an abandoned temple, half of which has collapsed, barely sheltered from the rain.

"What to do, Mom and the others will be worried..." And Seijuro... didn't send a text message...

"Wait a minute, it's still raining heavily."

"..."

In a daze, Weiyu hugged the cat teacher and fell asleep.

"Hey, Madara, didn't I tell you to leave after dark?"

"Hush..." The transformed Madara used her body to keep Weiyu warm, frustrated, the girl fell asleep.

"Trouble, I'll give you the umbrella, the rain won't stop."

"...Sure enough, is it that monster?"

"Well, we have to find out quickly."

"What the hell is that monster?" Weiyu rubbed his eyes.

"Woke up?"

Do you think your voice is low? !No words pouted.

"Bang" successfully turned into a cat's spotted licking paws, "That guy is a rain gu, a monster that can rain and bring miasma. It's not a simple guy."

"...that guy is not a pure demon." Ya sat down cross-legged and threw Weiyu a coat.

"! Isn't this my clothes?" Weiyu blinked.

"Hongfeng has already gone to your house and notified your grandfather. Really, I will do my best to cause trouble."

"Thanks, Crow."

"That rain Gu didn't come from nature like us. You know, there used to be many people with high spiritual power like you. Among them, some people would try their best to do things for profit, fame, status, and wealth. .If onmyojis are meant to eliminate demons, then there is a type of people who specialize in raising demons." Teacher Cat said disdainfully.

"Raising a demon? Like the Chang clan..."

"It's much worse than that one, but at least it's a monster exorcist. Rain Gu, the impoverished village at that time was dry all year round. In order to pray for rain, some heresy ways were used to bury children alive through sacrifices. ...Finally, we dug a well nearby to get water, and the day we dug the water, it will start to rain." Crow frowned.

Weiyu bit her lower lip tightly, her face pale.

"Rain Gu is a monster created by the ghosts of those dead children surrounding the puppets... So, Weiyu, go back." Ban patted Weiyu's hand, "You can't handle a monster of this level." You are too My heart softens...

"Go back...we'll take care of the rest. You should think about your family."

……

"Then... Teacher Cat, why didn't you stop me at first..." Wei Yu murmured.

"Huh, with your personality, you will give up if you don't really encounter something. However, I thought I could handle it. Now it seems that with such a large-scale rainfall, that guy, during the days of the seal, increased You have no resentment... You should make up your mind, crow."

"Ah...I see."

"Weiyu, you should go back and solve the school's affairs... Don't be sad, you don't need to intervene in the first place. If the crow is here, the owner of this mountain will also be alarmed."

"...Humans, you have to remember that not everything can be achieved with hard work. Humans need self-knowledge." Crow paused and rubbed Weiyu's little head with his hands, "But thank you anyway ... such an effort."
