four,

It was already late at night when I got off the car again. I looked at the sky full of stars and felt a little dazed.

It turns out that I have been on the mountain for so long without knowing it.

The mountain god's carriage stopped where I had come.

It was a small forest with lush branches and leaves. Occasionally, a few strands of silvery moonlight coldly fell through the gaps, leaving shallow marks on the dry soil.

"If you go on like this, it seems a little inconvenient..." The mountain god poked his head out of the carriage, looked around and said, "That guy said that he hates the moon the most, so he created an enchantment where he lives. This As a result, it is difficult for people to notice the passage of time."

He took out a small cloth bag from his cuff, took out a white thing from it, and threw it on the ground.

After the thing fell to the ground, it slowly sank as if it had fallen into a quagmire.

I really don't know how to describe what he took out, whether it's material or shape, I can't describe it.But when I saw that thing, I was inexplicably terrified.

"What is that?" I couldn't help but speak.

The mountain god glanced at me when he heard the words, as if he wanted to explain, but swallowed it before blurting it out, and changed another way of saying: "It's better that you don't know, anyway, it's something that can take you down the mountain."

After all, he shook his bag to me, and suddenly there was a sound like many hard objects colliding with each other, "slapping", which seemed unusually unsuitable in the small woods.

It was only then that I suddenly realized that the grove was so quiet at this time. Under normal circumstances, this kind of unspoiled place should be full of rustling insects. How could there be no sound at all?

"Well...they're almost here..." The mountain god suddenly whispered such a sentence, and then accelerated the speed between his hands.

"Clap clap clap..."

"..."

"!"what is that……

I shivered involuntarily, and felt a chill creeping up my neck.I froze instantly, unable to move.Because I clearly heard, with the shaking of the bag, whispering voices gradually came from all around.The sound quickly became denser. Obviously, the number of "people" present was increasing, but because of the very small volume, even if they were all gathered together, it sounded like a swarm of mosquitoes flying around. Make it inaudible.

But the mountain god didn't seem to notice, he continued to shake the bag in his hand.Seeing my uneasy eyes, he took the time to touch my head, without saying a word, but with an expression of "you can rest assured".

The pounding in the bag grew louder, and the buzzing in the ear grew denser.

I couldn't bear it, and subconsciously pinched the corner of the mountain god's clothes.I naturally know that the mountain god will not do anything to hurt me, but for unfamiliar things, fear is more popular than acceptance.

Although the surrounding light is dim, it is not enough to see the source of my fear clearly.But I still closed my eyes tightly, not daring to take a closer look.

It didn't take long for me to regret it, and when the door of peeping was closed, the window of listening would be incredibly bright.Those buzzing sounds that I dreaded suddenly became clearer when I closed my eyes.

The buzzing noises crept into my ears uncontrollably, at first they were just pure "buzz" and "uh-uh", before long they sounded like the pronunciation of certain words up.

"You said... got...?"

"Sure... Jiro!"

"Crap! Buzz...that's...buzz!"

I tried my best to distinguish the meaning, but I hadn't fully figured out the meaning of those "buzzing" that seemed to be blocked, the mountain god beside me suddenly stopped the movement of his hands.

"It's coming."

As soon as the words fell, those humming sounds also changed into some fairly consistent syllables.

"Come... buzz... come"

"Hey...can't eat...was buzzed...too..."

"Hmph...buzz...the most annoying..."

hum?I mentally read the two syllables, and after changing the tone a few times, I found that it sounded very much like a human name.

buzz

...not falling 1?

"Boom!" The ground suddenly started to vibrate, and I subconsciously opened my eyes.I saw a fireball falling from a high altitude at a high speed.In just a few blinks, it stopped in front of us with scorching heat.

Its diameter is about one meter, and its whole body is covered with bright red flames that sway with the wind.This flame was undoubtedly half the size of its entire body. The fire was so scorching that the entire grove was illuminated by it as if it were daytime. All the things that had been hiding in the dark corners were forced into their original form by this fireball.

I am also now able to see the source of those fears that previously filled my heart.

...What are these things...

I was a little dumbfounded: the guqin with eyes, the umbrella with eyes, and various items that are often seen in life.They are like those cartoon characters in cartoons, with some human organs, and they are all dressed up in weird ways.

The bright firelight made them invisible, even crawling under the grass and curling up their bodies was useless. (Of course, except for a few clothes monsters, no one can curl up.)

After the mountain god arrived from the fireball, he never took his eyes off it. It was not until I pulled his sleeves several times that he came back to his senses and calmed down many complicated thoughts.

"Except Buluo, everyone else can leave first." The mountain god said to the monsters lightly.

Those monsters were also witty, and disappeared within a few moments where the flames could shroud.

"This is Yan Yejun. I summoned you this time to entrust him to you. Make sure he leaves Nobiro safely."

It wasn't until all the monsters were gone that the mountain god turned back, solemnly took my hand, and placed it in front of the ball of fire.

The flames were jumping and flipping less than ten centimeters below my hand, and the heat wave made me struggle with my wrist a little uneasily, trying to stay away from the fireball.But the mountain god tenaciously tightened my hand, making it impossible for me to break free.

Just when I was about to open my mouth to let the mountain god let go, there was a muffled sound from inside the fireball, "Yes, my lord."

"Ah!" I whispered.

I just felt my palm was licked by something, it should be tongues of fire.But strangely, I didn't feel any pain at all.

When I came back to my senses, the flame had already changed its shape.

The originally fiery and huge fireball turned into a small lantern the size of a palm with a vertical pupil.

"It's not falling, so let it take you the rest of the way." After that, he handed over the bag of things that looked like summoning stones to me, "After it completes its task , just feed it the contents of this bag."

I nodded, thanked softly and took the things.

Although I feel that the mountain god is quite laborious this time, summoning a large group of monsters just to pick a suitable one to take me home. A local tyrant who threw piles of money and only smiled for the Pomeranians.

I grinned in my heart, and the original fear has long since gone.

"Do you think the sun is beautiful?" Before getting into the carriage, the mountain god suddenly asked me.

I was a little caught off guard by this question, and hesitated for a long time before answering: "Well...it should be very beautiful..." What kind of answer is this...

The mountain god smiled when he heard the words, and his eyes stayed on Buluo for a few seconds.

"Go out of Tanggu in the morning, and return to Yuyuan in the evening." He pulled out the fan that had been put away before, covering the lower half of his face, leaving only a pair of slightly narrowed brown pupils, "Let me ask you one last time, Do you regret it?"

Before I could react, the little lantern beside me spoke:

"The aim is here."

"I understand." The mountain god slowly raised the fan until his entire face was covered by the fan.He just kept this action and stepped into the carriage.

"Then this time, I will trouble you, Yan Yejun."

"Huh?" I didn't understand the meaning of the mountain god at all, and his previous conversation with the little lantern also made me confused. Just as I was about to ask, I saw a lot of smoke rising from under the carriage, and the carriage drove along. The smoke disappeared into the depths of the grove.

One client ran away, but the other remained.

I had no choice but to turn my head and keep my eyes on the little lantern.Different from those lantern monsters I encountered in Hyakki Yakun before, it burns an orange-red flame inside, which is warm and full of vitality, while those lantern monsters I have seen burn blue or green flames , looks quite cold and quiet.

Facing my probing sight, the little lantern seemed very calm. It swayed its body slightly, and the vertical pupil, which was the size of a black spot, immediately grew bigger and didn't stop until it reached half of the body.

"Fu Sangshenbuluo obeys your order." It closed its eyes halfway, bent its body slightly, and looked like it was at will.

I quickly waved my hand, signaling that it doesn't have to be so polite: "I just want to go down the mountain. I wonder if I could bother you to show me the way?"

"Naturally." The little lantern shook its body, and then the light on it became much brighter.It is clearly visible within two meters of it as the center, shining like daylight.

"Follow me, please." A white satin appeared at the lower end of the little lantern, and it was loosely tied around my wrist, obviously afraid that I would get lost.

How to take care of children...

I complained in my heart, but silently praised him for his thoughtfulness.

The speed of the small lantern fluttering is not too fast, which allows me, who is following behind, to have time to look at the surrounding scenery.

There are few flowers, and there are yellow weeds and entrenched old trees everywhere, which is completely different from the scenery I saw when I came in the morning.

Maybe it was because I was thinking about it, and my pace also slowed down unknowingly.The little lantern turned back with a sense of feeling, saw that I had been looking at the scene of disastrous defeat, and said, "This is the forest where Fu Sangshen gathers. Fusangshen cannot appear during the day, and can only move around at night. , the qi on them will have a bad effect on the nearby creatures, so the difference between day and night will be very large."

"But when they leave, the place will return to its original appearance."

"You just said... Fu Sangshen?"

The little lantern shook its body, presumably to simulate a nodding motion.

Japan has always advocated that everything has a spirit, so many monsters are derived from this concept.Fu Sangshen is the most vivid example.

Abandoned things become refined over time.

To put it simply, Fu Sangshen is a spirit monster born after absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.They can be a piece of rag, or a worn-out writing brush. In short, under the rules of the world where everything is animistic, they are endowed with sanity, have various personalities, and are no different from humans.

"That's not broken, are you Fu Sangshen too?" I pinched the white silk in my hand and asked hesitantly.

It didn't answer, it was silent.

The atmosphere became a little cold for a while, and when I was thinking about how to change the topic, it turned its head back and led me to walk again.

"I thought I wasn't, but then I discovered that there are some things you can't escape without admitting it."
