Chapter 112 Demons and sprites 6
The lord of demons and demons in Heianjing, the existence of the king of ghosts with a human body, the legendary Great Onmyoji——this series of titles are the words used by the outside world to describe him that Shen Yan learned from Yu Zaoqian .
So, has the country of Japan been so secondary since thousands of years ago?Shen Yan's mood is very complicated. According to common sense, being praised by others must be a happy and joyful thing, but when a person is given too much praise that he can't bear, what do you think? It's like a public execution, right? !
After Shen Yan learned about the recent evaluation and discussion about him from the outside world from Tamamo-mae, Ibaraki, and the little monsters onlookers, he was in a bad mood. To be reasonable, isn't the Lord of Demons and Monsters some cunning ghost?Shouldn't the existence that can be called the ghost king be the one from Dajiangshan?As for the legendary Great Onmyoji, shouldn't this statement be recognized as being used to refer to Abe Seimei?So why are these shameful titles all worn on his head now? !
Shen Yan thinks this is probably the legendary social death, right?
What made Shen Yan even more desperate was that when this series of praises were mentioned, including Ibaraki Doji, Tamamomae, and Minamoto Yorito, none of them had any intention of refuting, so there is really no problem ?Hey, where is your dignity as a big monster?Let the prestige of a human being skyrocket to such a degree among monsters, don't you have any idea of wanting to maintain your authority?
I don't know if it was because Shen Yan's eyes were too undisguised, Ibaraki slapped him on the back, and said dissatisfied: "Hey, what kind of eyes do you have? Do you think anyone can get these praises?" Are you? We are not such casual monsters! If we didn’t agree with your strength, I would have sent the guy who dared to use this kind of name to the underworld long ago!”
Yuzao nodded approvingly and said: "Being able to control so many monsters, even the little monster Tianyu Lord's strength is worthy of recognition. Besides, no matter what the strength is, these titles are enough to be called Tianyu Lord because of his broad mind. It deserves its name.”
Yuan Laiyuan nodded again and again, and couldn't help sighing: "Yes! Tianyu-kun is too humble, he can abandon prejudices and treat monsters and humans equally. Tianyu-jun is indeed a noble person in both strength and soul. What about the strong?"
Shen Yan: ... Is it really me that this special meow is talking about?
In order to prevent himself from being brainwashed by this group of unreasonable guys, Shen Yan quickly gave up discussing this topic—"Stop! Let's talk about business first, Your Highness Yuzao, can you tell me where your subordinate probably disappeared? ?”
As long as some bottom line is not touched, Yuzaoqian's temperament is quite gentle, so Yuzaoqian was not annoyed when Shen Yan obviously changed the subject, and changed the subject in a good manner: "This is really looking for someone. As for the topic of embarrassing the concubine, the child's words have never been a worry-free one. Hey, it's the type that won't be surprised if you can't find anyone at all in a blink of an eye when you encounter a lively place. If you go to such a lively demon market, even if she sneaks out of the team to play concubine all night, she won't be surprised at all."
Yuzao couldn't help but sighed, obviously this kind of situation is not uncommon among the little foxes she raised. "However, since the concubine said that she was taken away by others, it is not without evidence-these children are able to cultivate their spiritual wisdom thanks to the demon power of the concubine, so they can be regarded as concubines. As for the dependents, although this connection is not very close, it is enough to feel their general situation, just like the stars in the night sky, shining with the light of their lives. However, just now—— The child's light suddenly disappeared."
"So... I'm very presumptuous. Please, Your Highness Tianyu, please, please give me an explanation. Otherwise, I really don't know how to face these children." Yu Zaoqian stroked the baby lying on her lap Red Fox, although she seemed to be a conscientious elder in her words, both her behavior and her tone seemed to be interpreting what was meant to be insignificant—that dead little monster was insignificant to her at all.
Shen Yan couldn't help being silent for a moment, unexpectedly... Already dead?Although he is not a "fool" who will take all the life and death of others on himself, whenever life passes away, it always makes people feel extremely sad.However, the feeling of powerlessness is more of a chill from the heart, because neither Tamamo-mae, Ibaraki-douji nor the little monsters around seem to be touched by this result, as if...
Giving an explanation is the most important meaning of this matter, and the life and death of the little monster who caused this matter is simply irrelevant-this is a disregard for life, an indifference to death.
Even he who thinks he has weak feelings has been taught that life is precious since he was a child, he really can't understand, if even the death of the same kind can't arouse their fear at all, then why would they be afraid of their own death?Since the fear of death is lost, what's the point of living?
Shen Yan quickly gave up thinking about this philosophical question. After all, he is just a passer-by in this world. This kind of great proposition involving group racial ideology is really not suitable for him, a salty fish who gave up further study after entering university. , but although he didn't get to the core of the problem, it was enough for Shen Yan to realize a key problem-humans and monsters are different after all.
Whether it's the three views or empathy, or something else, some seemingly small differences on weekdays are enough to become an insurmountable gap between the two races when faced with certain problems After all, they are two completely different existences anyway.
If before Shen Yan wanted to separate the monsters from humans just for the convenience of management, then his idea has become more firm now. This is not only for the protection of the little monsters, let alone for the convenience of management, but To protect humanity.
Because, if left alone, no matter how you look at it, fragile and sensitive humans are no match for youkai.Some people may say that people's potential is unlimited, but it is already a kind of sadness to be able to use this sentence.
"...So, there is no clue at all?" Shen Yan sighed and complained quietly: "If this is the case, then I can only try divination."
While talking, he had dug out a tortoise shell—he guessed that he might be looking for someone, so before he came, he touched a piece of Abe Seimei's tortoise shell in case of emergency. Look, isn't this useful?However, although divination can be regarded as the basis of Yin Yang, but... "I am not good at divination, so I would like to ask His Royal Highness Yu Zaoqian to provide some auxiliary divination tools."
What are these tools? Naturally, they are props related to the missing little monster, including but not limited to things she wears next to her body, hair, blood, and the like.Shen Yanyuan didn't think this was a difficult request, but Yuzao was silent for a long time, and unexpectedly handed him a cloud of demonic energy!
The undisguised astonishment on Shen Yan's face made Yu Zaoqian feel a little uncomfortable.She coughed twice, and explained: "The concubine and the others are just passing by here, and I came here to join in the fun, and I didn't bring too many items. If I go back to get it, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. , it’s better to directly use the concubine’s monster energy as a medium—after all, their existence is due to the concubine’s monster power, and there is no more intimate medium than the concubine’s monster power.”
Shen Yan: ... Tsk, okay.
In fact, what Yuzaoqian said is not wrong. Her demonic power is indeed a perfect medium. However, it also has corresponding disadvantages. After all, it is derived from the demonic power of the great demon Yuzaoqian. The close connection even surpasses the connection with the missing little monster. If it is an onmyoji who is not good at learning, it is likely to be misled by the connection, and the object of divination will be transformed into Tamazamae without knowing it.
And if this kind of mistake can't be discovered and stopped in time, it can even be fatal, because if you want to get something, you have to pay something, and the spiritual power needed by such a big monster before divination Yuzao is beyond the reach of ordinary onmyojis. affordable.All in all, not a pleasant experience.
However, Shen Yan's poor divination is only relatively speaking, so he did not refuse the demon power given by Yu Zaoqian, because he didn't think he would make corresponding mistakes, and even if he really made a temporary mistake, with his The spiritual power will not be seriously injured, and the big deal is to count it again.However, the second divination will always reduce the accuracy rate, so it is better to try to get it in place once.
The evil spirit is entangled with the tortoise shell, attached with spiritual power, praying silently, communicating with the world, and then throwing away what the inspiration feels.
The tortoise shell that fell to the ground seems to be the same as before in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Shen Yan's eyes, it has already outlined a picture - a bustling demon city, an innocent little fox demon, a kind onmyoji...
Is it really a man-made disaster?For some reason, seeing this scene, Shen Yan felt a natural sigh. He had long realized that the conflict between humans and monsters was never one-sided. Monsters can hurt humans, and humans can also hurt monsters.Even to some extent, scheming human beings are much more terrifying than powerful but unsophisticated monsters.
Just like this time, the onmyoji pretending to be a good-hearted person managed to abduct the inexperienced little fox demon with just a piece of Jinpingtang. No matter how you think about it, it is more terrifying than a human being who unscrupulously takes advantage of others' trust.
But now is not the time to care about these things, Shen Yan calmed down, continued to inject spiritual power, and continued to peep at the past scene——Onmyoji led the ignorant fox monsters away, away from the lively demon city all the way Walk the silent street.Although the little monster was hesitant, she didn't doubt the onmyoji who invited her to taste delicious food just now, but she didn't know that it was because of her trust that she pushed herself into the abyss...
The door of the gloomy courtyard is wide open, like a beast that chooses to eat people. The little monster finally sensed something was wrong, but it was too late to escape at this time. The smile on the corner of the well-meaning onmyoji's lips gradually twisted into madness. The greedy, piercing laughter filled the night sky, the formation that had been drawn in front of the courtyard suddenly lit up, and the next second, the little monster fell to the ground covered in blood, only to hear—"Tsk, what a pity Now, if there is more despair..."
Shen Yan opened his eyes with a gloomy face: "I found it..." Although I can't see the face, is it the family crest of the Fujiwara family?Whether it's setting the blame or being really unscrupulous, some people will always pay the price for what they did...
"Follow me!" Thinking about it, Shen Yan turned around and walked towards the direction seen in the divination.
