In Nara County, although it was daytime, a faint black and gray atmosphere shrouded the sky and slowly diffused, but ordinary people could not find it, otherwise it would have caused panic.

In the city below, the traffic on the highway is steady, the commercial street is crowded with people, all kinds of shops, a wide range of goods, and a large area of ​​residential apartments. It is a prosperous scene under the emperor's rule.

On a white cloud in the sky, this cloud is condensed by spells, and the surrounding clouds are constantly dissipating.Ye Caochuan stood on the top, overlooking the bottom, and murmured: "The changes in the past 300 years are really not to be underestimated."

Further integrating the memories of the original Nokusagawa, he already has a certain understanding of the current era. The generals of the shogunate era have long since withdrawn from the stage of history. Now it is a democratic constitutional monarchy, and the emperor only retains the honor of the royal family and has no real power.

"It's really interesting." Ye Caochuan looked at the bustling city below, full of curiosity, but the faint evil spirit in front of him made him a little worried, and the tragedy of the shrine still lingered in his heart, which was completely different from the peaceful and prosperous world in front of him.

"It seems that the world is not going to be peaceful."

Ye Caochuan picked up his sword fingers and bent them slightly, a cloud of spiritual light slowly condensed on the fingertips, the snow-white robe was blown by the wind, and spiritual power began to circle around him.

"Come out, Seven Little People!"

With a few buzzing sounds, the air twisted, like ripples on the surface of calm water, one after another milky white light clusters lit up in front of him, a sudden strong wind blew all around, the Wild Grass River landed quickly, seven milky white The light cluster followed him closely.

On an unoccupied rooftop, the drying bed was slightly swayed in the sunlight, the wild grasses stepped on the ground, and the clouds under the feet also faded away.

"See Lord Yecaochuan!" The seven light groups said in unison, but with a little hesitation, after all, the appearance of the human being in front of them is completely different from the adult in memory.

With a flick of Ye Caochuan's hand, seven white talisman papers flew out, and the light clusters jumped into the talisman paper one after another, wrapped the talisman paper, and the talisman paper glowed with a faint aura, and began to fold up automatically, and when the aura faded, revealing Seven little paper people.

With a round head and slender hands and feet, it happily flies up and down in the air, making a childish voice.

"This familiar aura belongs to Lord Yecaochuan!" Zhi Yizi cried out excitedly, sounding like a six or seven-year-old child's voice, and quickly threw himself into Yecaochuan's arms, but it looked like a The paper was stuck to the clothes.

"Lord Yecaochuan, you haven't called us out for a long time." Zhi Sanzi said in a slightly aggrieved girl's voice, quietly floating in front of Yecaochuan, with a small red ear on his body.

"Yes, yes!" The other little paper figurines echoed, flying up and down around them, playing and playing. Ye Caochuan looked at them and smiled helplessly. This is his 20 years old, no, it was his previous life At the age of 20, the seven vegetation spirits subdued in a large swamp were bred by natural energy and have a keen sense of nature, suitable for detecting the surrounding environment.

"Okay, okay, now I have something to tell you," Ye Caochuan said about the business, gently scratched the paper in his arms, which made the paper laugh, "Now go and investigate this city , report back all the special situations, remember, no nonsense, no teasing humans."

"Yes, Lord Nokusakawa!"

The little paper people immediately scattered and flew around unsteadily, like butterflies fluttering in the sun, and disappeared after a while.

"Why don't you go with everyone?"

Looking at the paper in his arms, Ye Caochuan asked helplessly.

"I'm going to go with Mr. Ye Caochuan."

Ye Caochuan's heart warmed up, "Okay, let's go."

"Okay!" The paper flew up happily.

"But you can only stay in my sleeve." Ye Caochuan continued.

"Ah, I finally came here once!" Zhi Yizi complained, but seeing Ye Cao Chuan's non-negotiable appearance, he just lowered his head and reluctantly slipped into Ye Cao Chuan's sleeve.

Walking on the street, Ye Caochuan found that everyone looked at him from time to time, and there were a few high school girls whispering, which made him a little puzzled.

"Master Yecaochuan, look at everyone, and then look at you, you are still wearing a hunting suit for exorcising demons!" Zhi Yizi burrowed into Yecaochuan's shoulder and whispered.

"Oh, I forgot." Ye Caochuan looked down at the clothes on his body, the corners of the clothes were already dirty, there were still a few tears, and they were a bit messy.

Touching his pocket again, it was empty, Ye Caochuan could only walk quickly to a small alley, and performed a small illusion. Now he looks like a student wearing black-rimmed glasses, with a small schoolbag on his shoulder, thick Thick bangs hang down, looking very ordinary.

Before dark, Ye Caochuan returned to the apartment in his memory, which made him relieved. Fortunately, he found it. Unfortunately, he didn't have any money on him, and he was not familiar with Nara County, so he could only look for the apartment on foot.

There is a reception room at the entrance of the apartment, in which sits an old man in his fifties, who is the guard here, who seems to know Ye Caochuan, and smiles at him, Ye Caochuan also greets him, and walks into the apartment quickly.

Yecaochuan lives on the top floor, a simple and clean single-family house with two bedrooms and one living room. I went back to the shrine during the holidays, but after Nokusa Kiyohime passed away, Nokusagawa spent most of the time here alone, with few friends.

As soon as Zhizi entered the door, he got out of Ye Caochuan's sleeve, like a curious baby flying back and forth inside and outside the house, Ye Caochuan smiled and entered the bedroom.

There is a big bed in the bedroom, the quilt and pillows are neatly stacked, there is a desk in the corner by the window, there is a computer on the desk, there is a velvet cushion on the long window sill, and there is a small wooden table with scattered flowers on it. A few books, and a small glass bottle with an aquatic green plant in it, exuding vitality.

Opening the bedside table, I found Ye Caochuan's seal, certificate, and a paper bag, which contained a stack of thick banknotes. The portraits printed on it were still familiar, and I counted 50 yen.

Kiyohime Nokusa bought a piece of land in Nara Prefecture before, and the area was not small. Later, he partnered with a developer to build a shopping center and took part of the shares. Now he gets a huge dividend every month. Later, Nokusakawa inherited it. , but we can’t run out of wild grass every month, so most of them are stored in the card, and only some cash is left at home.

With a sound of "goo", Ye Caochuan's stomach growled, and Ye Caochuan touched his stomach, only to realize that he hadn't eaten for a day, and human beings still have to eat. After all, this is not the underworld, and they can satisfy their hunger by taking some spiritual energy.

When I left the bedroom, I looked at the clock hanging in the living room. It was [-]:[-], which was still early. I could take a shower before going out for food.

It's early summer, the weather is slightly hot, but the wind at night is still a bit cool.

The moon has risen, Ye Caochuan is walking on the street, wearing a white top, a gray linen long-sleeved jacket, a pair of black shorts, and flip-flops, his face is full of youthful vigor, and he looks amazing I feel clean and comfortable.

"But these slippers pinch your feet, they are not as comfortable as clogs." Nograss Chuan complained, and found this pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet. They felt a bit like clogs, but they felt completely different when they were worn!

After dusk, under the guidance of Ye Caochuan, the seven little people returned to the apartment one after another, and they gave feedback on the situation of the city, which gave him a certain understanding of Nara County.But before Ye Caochuan went out, Zhiqizi and Zhiwuzi hadn't come back yet. This is for the drunkard brothers, and they must have gone somewhere to steal alcohol again.

Ye Caochuan walked and watched, and finally entered a small shop with a sense of history. The shop is not big, but it is decorated in an antique style. The stand is surrounded by fences, with gauze curtains hanging down all around. There are musicians playing the shamisen inside, and the ensemble with the pipa and shakuhachi has a classical charm.

The barley tea tasted slightly sweet, with the aroma of grains, warming Ye Cao Chuan's stomach, but because Ye Cao Chuan looked only in his teens, the proprietress only served him tea.

After filling his stomach, Yecaochuan walked out of the store, and suddenly felt something. He walked around to the back of the store. The inside was busy. Like drunk, with the smell of wine.

It's the paper five sons who are already full.

"Why are you alone? Where's Zhi Qizi?"

"Ye...ye...yecaochuan master, hiccup," Zhi Wuzi hiccupped, murmuring inarticulately, "this wine... this wine is really good, at least... it's been hidden for at least 50 years!"

Ye Caochuan frowned, looked at Zhiwuzi's drunken appearance, flicked the paper body, Zhiwuzi suddenly seemed to lose strength, and fell softly, Yecaochuan caught it with one hand, folded it a few times, and put it into the pocket.

With a full stomach and feeling stronger, Ye Caochuan began to wander around, searching for Zhiqizi by the way.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, most of the shops were closed one after another, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. At this time, a strange fog began to diffuse in Nara Prefecture. The ever-increasing evil spirit in the air began to become vigilant.

Yecaochuan looked back, and at some point, there was no one on the road, only the street lamps flickered, the cool evening wind blew, and a few fallen leaves on the ground swirled.

"Da", "da", "da", the strange sound of clogs touching the floor resounded from all directions in the Wild Grass River, white mist surged over and filled the surroundings, as if countless people were walking towards him in the mist.

Suddenly, a cloud of white mist dispersed behind Yesaochuan, and a huge ghost-faced monster appeared, with messy hair and shawls, eyes popping out, covered with bloodshot eyes, with a bloody mouth wide open, with saliva still hanging from the sharp fangs, and it moved quickly. He threw himself at Yecaochuan, wanting to bite off his head.

"Master Ye Cao Chuan, be careful!"

In the mist, a paper man pierced through the layers of fog and flew towards him like lightning, with the sound of gusts of wind, shouting anxiously, it was Zhi Qizi.
