Chapter 317: Losing the Child?
"Haha!!" Caesar picked up Tsuiko and put it directly on her neck, Tsuiko exclaimed, and hurriedly held Caesar's head to prevent herself from falling, but then, because the field of vision rose and looked at a completely different scene, Tsuiko was very excited and let out a happy laugh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xiufeng glanced at Caesar with some envy, Tsuiko would only show such a bright smile when Caesar was by Caesar's side, no matter how he teased Tsuiko, Tsuiko ignored him, which made him very depressed.
In the laughter of Tsuiko, Caesar and the others continued to descend the mountain, walking towards the village below the mountain, the sky gradually darkened, the sun was halfway down the mountain, and the moon had appeared in the night sky.
There was a pair of eyes that suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests, secretly looking at Caesar and the others, looking at the cuizi riding on Caesar's neck, and his eyes were very complicated.
"Huh?" Caesar's perception was sharper than that of Xiufeng and the others, and he noticed something, stopped, and looked around vigilantly, but he didn't find anything.
"What's wrong?" Xiufeng saw Caesar stop and asked suspiciously.
"Nothing." Seeing that he had not found anything, Caesar shook his head and continued to descend the mountain.
"Woo... Woooooo
"Caesar, do you hear?" Tsuiko asked as she looked down at Caesar.
"Hear what?" Hearing Tsuiko's words, Caesar paused for a moment.
"Strange sounds, like... Cry? Tsuiko tilted her head and said with some uncertainty.
"Crying?" Caesar was stunned for a moment, and listened carefully, as if there was no other sound except the sound of the wind blowing and the rubbing of leaves, and the sound of some insects and birds, but the sound of the wind blowing through the mountains and forests was indeed a bit similar to a cry.
At this time, Cuizi also felt that the strange voice disappeared, maybe she heard it wrong, Cuizi thought to herself, not bothering about the voice.
Everyone came to the foot of the mountain, it was already dark, before entering the village, Caesar on the boat black robe and hat, hiding his appearance, so that others could not see his appearance, only then took Cuizi's hand, and Xiufeng and others walked into the village.
Caesar and others entered the village smoothly, the folk customs here are very simple, and the village also has a post station for passing travelers, resting and settling, although the environment and comfort level, not as good as the inn in the township, but, staying overnight, it is still no problem, it is better than spending the night in the wilderness.
After a simple dinner, before going to bed, Caesar taught Tsuiko some new knowledge, watched Tsuiko carry out a little exercise, the exercise of spiritual control, and finally, told Tsuiko some bedtime stories to put Tsuiko to sleep.
After seeing Tsuiko grab her clothes and fall asleep, Caesar sat next to Tsuiko and entered a meditative state cross-legged.
"Oh no! My baby is gone!! "The night was getting dark, and suddenly, a sharp voice woke up the quiet village, and there was a loud noise throughout the village, which woke up the meditating Caesar and the sleeping Tsuiko.
"Caesar, what's going on?" Cuizi rubbed her sleepy eyes, listening to the noise outside, and wondered.
"I'll go out and see, you lie down in bed, don't go out." Caesar looked outside, and the whole village seemed to get up, lit torches, and lit the village with bright lights, and Caesar instructed Tsuiko.
Then, Caesar pushed the door and left the room, and saw Xiufeng and the others, who were also awakened, and everyone left the post station to see what was going on in the village, which shocked the whole village.
"Huh?" And after Caesar left, Tsuiko was lying on the bed, and when she was about to continue sleeping, she suddenly felt something, got up from the bed, showed a puzzled expression, and finally, hesitated, and got out of bed and down to the ground.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know."
"It seems that the child of the Xiuzhi family was lost, what a sin, this is already the fourth in the village..."
Looking at the gathered villagers and listening to their bustling voices, Caesar and the others understood that what had happened, as if whose child had been lost, and it seemed that this kind of thing had not happened for the first time.
"Excuse me, old man..."Xiufeng found a villager who seemed to be a good talker, and walked over to ask about something.
When the questioning was finished, Xiufeng came back with a solemn face and told Caesar and the others the specific news he had heard.
In recent days, children have often been lost in the village, and every time it is night, the child has disappeared somehow, but someone once vaguely saw the missing child walking into the mountains and never returning.
There used to be a witch in the village, who said that there were youkai in the mountain and would seduce children, and the missing children were all lured to the mountain children, and they were all eaten by the monsters, and they were already dead and couldn't come back.
The shrine maiden had left the village in order to get rid of the demon, and she didn't know where she had gone, and she had been gone for several days.
And the reason why there was such a commotion tonight was because of the loss of another child, and the parents of the child found out at the first time, and they were looking for the child all over the village, and the whole village was also helping to find it together.
"Look at this technique, it should be done by the monster, and it is good at bewitching monsters, but in this village, there are no onmyoji or samurai now, but this monster still uses this method, and the strength of the monster should not be too strong." Hearing what Xiufeng said, Qiu Yang and Qiu Ming analyzed.
"Well, according to the ancestral teachings of the Huakaiyuan family, we can't leave it alone." Xiufeng nodded.
In the ancestral training of the Huakaiyuan family, there is one, if you see a monster committing a crime, if you can do it, you can eradicate the evil monster, of course, if you can't beat it, withdraw immediately, and return to your home to report it, and deal with it.
In down-to-earth words, when you see a monster, you have to draw a knife to help, but before drawing a knife, you must see the gap between the enemy and us, if you can't beat it, immediately retreat from the wind, come back to register, call the master, and then form a group ****.
It is precisely because of this ancestral precept that the Huakaiyuan clan has such a great reputation and is loved and respected by the common people.
After all, other onmyoji don't have this leisure, free obligation to get rid of demons, if you want to get rid of demons, you have to take money, it's not okay to give less, sometimes, the whole village raises money, and you can only invite a third-rate onmyoji.
Subsequently, Xiufeng and the three of them apologized to Caesar, if they want to get rid of the demon here, it will inevitably delay the trip, and Caesar said that he understands, and is willing to help, Caesar just needs the monster to absorb energy points. (To be continued.) )
