I!Nine tailed fox

Chapter 134

The blood moon hangs in the air.

The streets of Kyoto are filled with colorful lights and intertwined colorful brocades. Various merchants stand along the street. The old man weaves bamboo products, the middle-aged uncle who sells antiques, the burning bird boy wearing a headscarf fanning smoke desperately, and fishing for goldfish with paper nets. The children cheering and laughing, and the people walking down the street wearing bathrobes with their arms folded talking and laughing, looked like the bustling city of Tang Dynasty.

However, at midnight, all the vendors and pedestrians retreated to both sides of the street in a tacit understanding, standing close to the eaves, as if they were piously waiting for something to come.

In the night, bursts of strange and rhythmic bells sounded abruptly.

In the water not far away, a huge "open"-shaped vermilion torii gate slowly erected, and in the middle of the torii gate, it seemed that the door to another world had been opened, and strange monsters and sprites constantly came out of it.

A hundred ghosts travel at night, and humans and ghosts live together.

People hide in ghosts, and ghosts hide in people.

Most of these nocturnal ghosts look very strange, some have only a huge bald head, rolling and walking on the street like a cart; He looks like a monk, but under the bamboo hat, there is only a mouth for chanting scriptures and no other facial features...Of course, there are also some beautiful ghosts among the hundred ghosts, but these ghosts will not be attracted by human eyes. He stayed there, walked forward without any communication amidst the sound of the bell, as if he was holding some kind of ceremony.

Everyone seems to have become accustomed to the normal Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts, staring at the most curious or beautiful female ghosts, but among the Hundred Ghosts today, there is a young man wearing a fox-head mask and a bathrobe covering his head. People, without showing their faces, have already attracted the attention of everyone and ghosts.

He was playing with an unopened folding fan in his hand, and he followed the team of ghosts at a leisurely pace. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which provoked those who usually never discussed ghosts, who were afraid. The human beings who were revenged by the ghosts couldn't help whispering.

"Who is this lord, have you never seen it before?"

"Since it appeared in the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts, it must be a ghost clan."

"But this lord looks more like a human being. Those ugly ghosts are completely incomparable to him!"

"Shh, keep your voice down!"

"Even with a mask on, I can fully feel the beauty of this lord!"

……

At this time, a four-year-old child dressed in noble hunting clothes suddenly rushed out of the crowd. He held a handful of beans in his right hand, put the index and middle fingers of his left hand on his lips, muttered something, and then threw the beans It sprinkled on the person wearing the fox head mask.

The beans hit him and fell to the ground. At the same time, a blue pentagram circle appeared under the fox-head masked man's feet.

The child in hunting clothes was overjoyed when he saw this, and looked at the fox-headed masked man with anticipation, but the masked man stepped out of the magic circle one step at a time, as if the pentagram had no restraint on him.The ghost walking behind the masked man was not so lucky. After stepping into the pentagram, he was completely immobilized and was as nervous as a mouse trapped in a cage.

Seeing this, the child stretched out his hand and withdrew the magic circle. When the trapped ghost saw the magic circle disappear, it was so frightened that it ran away in a panic, not daring to turn its head back!The child let out a breath, and when he looked up again, he found that the man with the fox-head mask was stopping and staring into his eyes.

Even though the other party was wearing a mask, being watched by him like this made people blush instantly and their hearts beat.

As if he found something interesting in his eyes, the masked man smiled and stretched out his hands. In the bustling market, the little guy grabbed the hands that were stretched out to him without hesitation!

He led the little guy away, not paying attention to the eyes of those around him.

"what's your name?"

The child was surprised, and looked up at him, only to see that he had pushed the fox head mask to the top of his head, because it was still covered with a piece of clothing, only the child could see his real appearance from the angle of the child, and the other onlookers watching the night walk No one can see his face!

Shallow, light golden eyes, a face that picks people's hearts like late cherry blossoms, and a voice that sounds like cherry petals falling into a spring, it is no longer possible to describe this person in terms of beauty, and, unexpectedly...is he a man? !

The child blushed in shock: "I, my name is Abe Nakamaro, how about you?"

The stunning man put a folding fan against his lips, and his golden pupils looked at the child with interest: "Tamazao, my name."

"Master Yuzao, would you like to go back with me?"

"What are you doing back with you?"

Abe Nakamaro looked forward again: "Please, become my shikigami! I can see that you are very, very strong, so strong that all the ghosts here are not enough for you!"

The golden-eyed man chuckled, and he covered his face with a folding fan slightly: "Little guy, haven't you tried it just now? The current you are not enough to subdue me to become a shikigami."

The child became very disappointed in an instant, and his bright eyes became lonely.

"However, I like your eyes very much. If you are willing to dedicate them to me after death, maybe I will consider becoming a shikigami after you grow up and become stronger."

"Really?" The child's eyes lit up again.

"Naturally, I, Tamamozen, will not become a shikigami of a mediocre Onmyoji."

"I am willing!" It is quite normal to pay for subduing shikigami, and it is only after death that Master Tamamomae will take the eyes, which makes him feel that it is not an unacceptable condition.

"If you can't do it, your descendants will continue this agreement." He stared deeply at his eyes, the dark purple in the eyes made him reluctant to look away, "These eyes can only belong to me. "

"……I understand."

A golden mark of a nine-tailed fox flashed in Abe Nakamaro's eyes.

After the contract was reached, Tu Shanlan suddenly felt that he looked like the deceptive monster in the story.After all, after he sneaked into the merchant ship and came to Kyoto last night, he hid on the roof of Abe’s house, and heard that this little young master will choose his first shikigami in Kyoto’s Hyakki Night Walk today, so he will get lost Among the ghosts.The fox knew that with Abe Nakamaro's eyes, he would never miss him.

But as the eye of disaster said, now is not the best time to get the Nine Purple Yuanling, but at least he must ensure that these eyes are not stared at by other monsters. Now that these eyes are branded with him, no matter who comes, Can't take it away.

"Master Yuzao, where are you from? I feel that you do not belong to this country."

The fox thought about this question seriously. Although he does not belong to this world, he has basically stayed in China since he came here.Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the continents shifted frequently. When he was bored, he would occasionally travel around the world. There was even a false legend in India that the nine-tailed fox was the princess of Huayang. Most of the stories of Nine-Tailed Fox are fabricated and exaggerated by human beings.

But no matter how many countries he has been to and how many languages ​​he knows, the one that makes him feel most comfortable is China.

So he smiled and replied, "China."

The little Abe Nakamaro showed a look of joy: "China! Great Tang?! Shangguo? That is the country I admire most. My teacher is teaching me to learn Chinese. When I grow up, I must Go to Master Yuzao’s country to study and enlightenment!”

The fox nodded, took the little guy's hand and continued to walk forward, and pressed Jiang Ling against his chin, and tapped it lightly a few times, as if he was thinking about something, after a while, he looked at the little guy full of heart. The little guy with eyes full of excitement asked, "Are you going to follow me all the time, won't you go home?"

Abe Nakamaro became flustered now, he turned around and found that they were no longer in the noisy market, but a deserted suburb, he had never been to this place, let alone knew the way back, The child said with some embarrassment: "Oops, I was so happy to see Master Yuzaoqian, I rushed up on my own, and I didn't hear anyone calling me. Most of the samurai at home have separated from me..."

Tu Shanlan deliberately teased him and said, "He is really a pampered young master."

"Master Yuzaoqian laughed. I usually remember the way, but I was so happy to meet Master Yuzaoqian that I got carried away and just remembered to stare at him the whole time." Sincere, seasoned, and polite, at this age, he already has the demeanor of a master, and he should not be underestimated in the future.

"I'll take you back." He put on the mask again, took the child's hand and changed the direction.

"Master Tamazamo knows where my home is?"

The fox smiled and said, "Your surname is rare, and it is quite difficult to know Abe's family name in Kyoto."

"That's true. Sure enough, there is nothing you can hide from Tamamo-sama. Tamamo-sama is the number one in Japan... no, he is the number one monster in the world."

Can't you see that this kid is already good at flattering at such a young age?Emotional intelligence is really powerful... It's different from some little white snakes who only get angry with him every day.

"Master Yuzao, how can I find you in the future?"

"You don't need to come to me deliberately, I'm leaving here soon." The three-day period is now the second day, and he has to go back after tonight, otherwise someone will go crazy.

"Leave?" The little guy's eyes instantly showed grievance and reluctance, "Are you going to get back to your senses? Yes, but we just met, can't we stay a few more days? I have a lot of things to do I want to ask you for advice..."

"Well, I have something very important to do, so I have to leave here." These eyes are so real, no wonder the eye of misfortune knew that it was impossible for him to goug out the child's eyes, if Bai Suzhen only gave him three days, He really doesn't mind pointing out such a well-behaved and smart kid.

It's a pity that he only has three days, but fortunately, these eyes have been marked. Even if he can't get the petal of the Nine Purple Yuanling immediately, it's only a matter of time. He may have to rely on hibernation to slow down the corruption of the heart again.

Alas, Bai Suzhen, although I've only been away for two days, I can't help but miss you.
