Both of them had a fast journey, and the town was already near Daisetsuzan Park, so it didn't take half a day for the two to arrive in the mountains and forests about a mile away from the town, and found the settlement of the Tengu clan hidden in the depths of the mountains and forests with special barrier protection.

Ah Zuomei didn't use Qin and Qing Zhisheng, and took the lead in walking towards the enchantment.

"Huh!"

A clear sound of breaking the air sounded, and Qin Heqing was keenly aware of the existence of several lines of sight.

With the gentle sound of blades of grass rubbing, a young man in a brown traditional Japanese kimono stepped out from behind a large tree......

Yes, the man, in human form, did not have the characteristics characteristic of Tengu yokai - black wings, and his face was not hidden by a long-nosed ghost mask carved from red wood, so if he hadn't prepared in advance, he might not have been able to tell that the young man in front of him was actually a youkai.

"Stop coming." The young man stood still and shouted at the Snow Girl and Qin Heqing behind her, "Further down is private territory, and no one is allowed to enter at will without official permission." ”

It's kind of like that.

It's very different from the description of the legendary youkai that harms people at every turn, and I don't know if it's because the tengu has such a temperament, or if he has recognized the identity of Sakumi, or if the tengu has changed differently with the progress of society.

"I'm Azuomi of the Snow Maiden clan in the Great Snow Mountain, and I have urgent matters that need to be informed to the Tengu clan today, and I ask my little brother to be lenient and allow me to go to the noble residence to visit Lord Otengu." Sakumi responded.

"Snow Maiden...... So what's going on with the man behind you. I don't remember any of you Snow Maidens having any males. The young Tengu looked at Ah Sakumi carefully for a while, and with the help of the youkai, or the unique talent of the Tengu clan, the well-informed sense of smell, he was full of surprise after distinguishing the identity of the snow girl of Ah Sakumi, but Qin Heqing, who was more human, asked.

"The person behind me is a priest from Tokyo, Qin Heqing, and the news I want to say is related to him, so in order to make things clearer, I brought him over on my own initiative, and I hope that the little brother will not mind." Sakumi explained.

"Priest...... Okay, I can inform you of your visit, but I can't guarantee whether or not Lord Taitengu will see you later. The young man looked at Qin Heqing for a while, nodded, looked at Ah Zuomei and explained.

"Yes. Then I'm going to trouble you, little brother. Ah Zuomei was not pretentious, nodded and agreed.

"You look at him."

Then the young man stopped talking, and his figure flashed, turning into a pitch-black crow, fluttering his wings and flying towards the interior of the forest.

There are three main forms of tengu, one is the human form, which is well known to the people of the island country, with the image of a mountain hermit with black wings and a mask on his face. Basically, the image of the tengu who taught all kinds of Sengoku heroes and great swordsmen in legends is like this.

One is the form of a canine creature, with a pitch-black body, interlaced canine teeth, and a hideous face.

The most famous of these is the tengu, which can devour the moon.

It is also the source and nature of the true tengu.

The last one is the crow form that Qin Heqing sees now, with the ability to fly, fast speed, and stealthy movements, it is a herald among the ghosts and ghosts of the night, so there are also legends that the tengu can speak well and know all kinds of gossip and secret information.

Therefore, the image of Tengu Fumiwen in the Oriental Gensokyo that is circulated in the secular world comes from here.

As for whether the real tengu is as well-informed as the legend says, it depends on the specific situation-

For example, if you can recognize Qin Heqing's identity and origin, you can understand whether the Tengu clan is really well-informed.

……

The speed of Tengu's feedback was very fast, and in just a moment, the young man who had left earlier once again turned into a human form and appeared in front of the Snow Maiden and Qin Heqing.

"Lord Tengu-sama agrees with you, so please come with me." The young man glanced at Qin Heqing meaningfully and replied.

"Then it's troublesome little brother." Sakumi responded.

Then the two followed, and walked into the forest under the guidance of the tengu-chan.

Passing through the natural area used to confuse ordinary people who had strayed into the barrier, there was a quiet and peaceful complex, which looked like the Edo Folk Settlement, and Qin and Qing came into view, and the smoke of each house was misty, and a tengu changed into the form of a man or a woman, living a leisurely and comfortable life in the village like ordinary mortals.

The young tengu ran around in the colony, like a real child, with no sorrow or worry on his face, and he was carefree and enviable.

At least in Ah Zuomei's eyes, this scene in front of her is like heaven......

If the Snow Maiden clan you belong to is not attacked.

The group of three walked through the village under the watchful eyes of the many Tengu residents, stopped in front of a large house in the center of the village, and then took off their shoes and entered the house, seated on a cushion in the main hall used for reception.

"Wait a minute, Daitengu-sama will be coming over soon." The tengu brother who was in charge of leading the way explained.

Qin Heqing and Ah Zuomei didn't refute either, and sat quietly in place waiting for the arrival of the Great Tengu.

Fortunately, this time was not long, only about two or three minutes, and with a gentle footstep, a figure suspected of being a great tengu appeared in the room.

However, the image was greatly beyond the expectations of Qin Heqing and even A Zuomei!

The Great Tengu in this settlement turned out to be a woman!

The specific age is really unclear, or everything related to age is difficult to identify on the body of the monster, but in terms of the image presented on the surface, the big tengu in front of him seems to have just turned 20 years old, and his figure is very tall, compared to Qin and Qing, he is not too reckless, wearing a black and red gold-striped kimono as a base, but the style is not an orthodox kimono style, but similar to the general appearance of a maid bandeau in the Tang Dynasty in China, and the part above the shoulder and heart is directly exposed, so as to facilitate the stretching and dancing of the wings behind the back.

Wearing a white undershirt inside, it seems to be a skirt? A pair of long legs were directly exposed to the air, and as she sat down, it was even more clearly reflected in Qin Heqing's forehead.

The hair is the same, that is, it looks like the head of a princess in the Warring States period, and it looks like the head of a maid in the Tang Dynasty, the style is not the same as the known way of the headdress, it is unique, but there is a step shake, the gold is made into the shape of a hairpin, and the tail is hung with a 'shake' formed by four white cotton balls, and the Japanese flower belly on the ear is even more unique.

Holding this red maple leaf-shaped iron fan in her hand, which seemed to be magnified countless times, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, even if she didn't say a word, her noble temperament emanated irrepressibly from her, making Qin Heqing feel like he had seen the legendary princess, and he couldn't help but look more and more sideways.

"Your Excellency." Then, the young tengu on the side bowed his head and saluted.
