About my eyes being reincarnated as my husband
Chapter 36 The Demon Father and the Demon Son
The village chief, who was already weak and timid, was almost at a loss when he learned that his daughter-in-law had died and his wife was in a coma.
He fell on the spot, was so excited that he was out of breath, and almost passed out.When he regained consciousness while pinching the person, the first thing he said was: "We must thoroughly investigate the demon's troubles, and get rid of the demon and its descendants and grandchildren!"
Under the summoning of the village chief, Lin Qingquan gathered all the pregnant women whose husbands had died suddenly, and questioned them one by one.
He wanted to find out how the Wind Chime Demon used the world.
"Since the recovery of the magic power, have you and your husband noticed any abnormalities around you?" Lin Qingquan asked, "Think about the abnormalities inside the body and the external environment."
The pregnant women who were pregnant with the devil's fetus lined up in a row, wearing plain white mourning clothes, they all shook their heads and said, "No."
"Really not?" Lin Qingquan asked again, "You better think about it carefully. Especially... about the abnormality of the wind chimes."
As soon as the wind chime was mentioned, as expected, several pregnant women obviously looked uncomfortable.
"Really...no. The abnormality of the wind chime...doesn't exist."
Look at them all blushing, with evasive eyes and secretive looks.Lin Qingquan naturally knew that there must be something strange in it, so he said in a more serious tone: "This matter is not only about the death of your late husband, but also about your life and death. Your husband died suddenly because he was infected with magic power. As a close wife , will you all be safe and sound?"
The pregnant women were all silent.After a long time, one of the oldest pregnant women spoke cautiously: "About the wind chime... there is indeed something that is not abnormal, but it can be considered a violation of the rules set by the elders..."
"Please say."
"...That night, the wind chimes under the eaves kept ringing. But my husband still insisted on having sex with me..."
The other pregnant women also looked like they were hit, feeling ashamed and silent.
The Japanese like to deify things and phenomena. For example, they regard the sudden disappearance of people as "ghost hidden"; A monster called "Mirage" is at work.
Fengling Village makes a living from wind chimes, which are the lifeblood of the whole village; over time, the villagers worship wind chimes as gods, and almost every household hangs wind chimes under the eaves.The wind chime has become an existence like a guardian.
Out of respect for the gods, there is an ancient rule in the village: when couples have sex, if the wind chimes under the eaves ring, it means that the spirit of the gods has passed.As a husband, he must restrain his desires, stop intercourse, and go to bed early.This is respect for the gods.
This rule is undoubtedly "against humanity".
Few men can control themselves at that time.The older generation obeys the rules, but the young people don't care anymore.
Lin Qingquan figured it out: Any husband who turns a deaf ear to the sound of wind chimes and insists on continuing to have sex has entered the realm of demons.
The husband who enters the realm begins to rot from the body until the rot spreads to the heart, and he will die suddenly.
But it's just that the husband died suddenly.Once a man has the magic power, after having intercourse, his wife will be implicated to conceive a magic fetus.
And the day of childbirth is when the devil's fetus awakens, and the mother who has been pregnant for many months becomes the devil's first feed.
The degree of tragedy is equivalent to exterminating the door.
So far, the truth of the Wind Chime Devil's behavior has come to light.
The village head made a decision based on this: the whole village abstains from sex.
Lin Qingquan immediately set off to look for Miss Saito with eyes on his eyes.
The Saito family belongs to the next of kin of the royal family in blood, and their main business is to supply the royal family with high-quality incense wood, incense burners and other incense utensils.
Women are naturally sensitive to fragrance.Therefore, the heads of the Saito family have been women for generations, and they have extended their heirs through recruiting sons-in-law.
The sons-in-law of the past dynasties not only have to take care of the family's internal affairs, but also take it as their duty to give birth to daughters.If it is really impossible to give birth to a daughter, they can only adopt the beautiful and wise daughters of other people's families for training.
As the only aristocrat in Edo whose main business is women, Saito's family is famous in Kannai.
It is not difficult to find out the address of such a nobleman.
When Lin Qingquan and Mumu came to visit, it was the coachman who made the hostess pregnant who came out and opened the door to greet him.
Looking at the simple yet handsome coachman, Lin Qingquan felt a little complicated.
On the night he spent the night with the young lady, he was drunk and had sex with the young lady when he was unconscious.Maybe he doesn't even know who the woman under him is, let alone the sound of wind chimes.
"You...why did you come to the door?" The young coachman narrowed his eyes and observed Lin Qingquan for a long time, then glanced at the eyes of the white clothes next to him, suddenly panicked, "Why are you coming to the door all of a sudden...I'm not really going to die, are you? .”
Indeed, his internal organs were more severely dissolved.Even the stomach is glued together with the rotten intestines, and it looks like a piece of mushy cake, which is hard to bear to look at.
Corrosion has reached the chest cavity.
Such a situation is very close to the son of the dead village chief.
"Yes. You are really going to die. I'm worried that you won't last for two days." Lin Qingquan said bluntly, "All men who have been enchanted will rot inside their bodies without exception and die."
"I already know." The coachman smiled bitterly, "I heard that those husbands died suddenly, and there were rumors that they turned into worm-like software... When I heard it, I didn't feel any disturbance, just like listening to a joke. I just watched with cold eyes. But now... I have changed, I have really changed. "
Lin Qingquan followed his drawn-out voice and asked, "What have you changed?"
"In the past, I especially admired chicness, and the reason why I chose to be a coachman was also due to this temperament. I like to travel around to taste delicious food. If I have the opportunity, I will visit local brothels and get acquainted with women from different regions. I originally Thinking about being unmarried in this life, and living a life alone without restraint. But everything changed that night..." There was a trace of sadness in the driver's eyes, "I became extremely afraid of death."
He said sadly: "After having a child, people tend to become afraid of death."
Lin Qingquan examined these words for a long while, thinking about it in his heart, but saw the coachman kneel down towards him.
"You are a doctor from Xuanwu Mountain, and you have predicted that my young lady is pregnant, so there must be a god who can help you! I want to ask you to save me...I don't want to die...I want to grow up with my child... ..."
When he knelt down, the puddle of tattered turbid liquid in his stomach was also swaying, but the skin was intact, like a bottle containing poisonous acid juice.
Lin Qingquan paused for a while and said, "Unless you eat the heart of the devil, you will surely die."
"Devil's heart?" The coachman knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked at Lin Qingquan as if he was a god.
"That's right. It literally means the heart of a demon." Lin Qingquan said, "Only this thing can save lives."
"So, where is the devil?"
The lady in full dress is supported by a maid, standing in a wooden pavilion, her black hair reaches her ankles, she has no eyebrows, and she has a strange Japanese classical beauty.
The coachman got up with a whoosh, hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, and blushed.
She had been observing secretly not far away, and now she smiled shrewdly, and said to Lin Qingquan: "Last time I heard you talk about demons, I inquired about them when I went back, and got a few important pieces of news: no matter how If you are seriously ill, your heart will be brought back to life if you take the demon; also, after purification, the demon fetus will turn into a meatball, which has the effect of beautifying and rejuvenating, and is an excellent health medicine... Alas, I know too well It's too late. Some nobles with more means hired ronin and ninjas to take the heart of the devil and put it in gold. It will be used when old and sick..."
Miss Saito glanced lightly at the coachman, pointed at the driver and stepped on the fallen leaves all over the ground, "How is your investigation on the demon in Fengling Village?"
Lin Qingquan looked directly at her, and said: "The devil's body is a string of wind chimes, which appear under the eaves of various roofs in the village, including the village head's house, and the post where you spent the night together. Since you have been to Fengling Village for vacation, Fengling Village has You must have heard of this rule."
Miss Saito raised her eyebrows, "What rules?"
"If the wind chimes keep ringing, the men and women in the house will stop having sex."
"I heard that. But so what?" Miss Saito smiled contemptuously, "That night, there was indeed a wind chime ringing. But I don't even care about the driver's wishes, do you think I still care whether a wind chime rings or not? ?”
"You don't know the reason." Lin Qingquan said, "If you violate this rule, you have entered the realm. Men will rot from the inside, and women..."
At this moment, Mumu made a hissing gesture, and his eyes signaled him not to say any more.
Lin Qingquan saw its fingers resting on its lips, and the white jade knuckles were embedded between two thin layers of red lips, giving it a unique sense of sculpture.
There is a lesson from the village head's daughter-in-law, who thinks it is better not to stimulate pregnant women.
Otherwise, it will encourage the awakening of the magic fetus in her stomach.
So Lin Qingquan stopped talking.
He looked at the light, and his actions naturally became bright.
"To be honest, Xiao Lin's family, I want to get the heart of this demon." Miss Saito straightened the broken hair on her sideburns, "It's not because I want to save a lowly driver...I just want to keep it, In case you need it in the future. Do you have a way to get it?"
The coachman felt a little sad when he heard her say that, he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
Lin Qingquan looked at the shrewd face of the lady, and said meaningfully: "Yes. But the premise is to lure the demon out of the hole and let it show up. Only when we see it, can we take its heart."
The young lady said clearly, "How do you want me to help you?"
"This demon is fond of prostitution, and there is a high probability that it will stare at couples who have sex, and then attach themselves to their roofs. Those who do not want to control their desires will naturally fall into its hook. Now the whole village is abstaining | sex, trying to attract demons To get out of the cave, Ms. Saito needs to use her power to help find a man and a woman for adultery, so that she can show up."
The coachman said in shock: "But in this case, that man will easily become a victim..."
"Sacrifice is necessary." Ms. Saito said coldly, "Give some money and find two untouchables from a poor village as bait. It is the most suitable. The lives of untouchables are worthless, and the heart that can be exchanged for demons is worth more than money." .”
The young coachman showed a tangled look.He has always been afraid of Miss, and has a low eyebrow and pleasing to her every decision, but at this moment he boldly said: "I am also a filthy human who was born in an untouchable village. Untouchables are also human..."
The lady interrupted him: "Don't think that since I have your child, you have the status to speak!"
The coachman looked timid, but still summoned up his courage, and asked Lin Qingquan cautiously: "Let me go. People who have already been enchanted once, it doesn't matter even if they are enchanted again. Anyway, eating the devil's heart will be fine." ..."
The young lady slapped him on the face and shouted angrily: "How dare you!"
Emotional fluctuations caused the magic tire in her belly to move, and it instantly swelled a bit.Her face was pale, and she reacted violently to morning sickness. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and kept retching, and the maid hurriedly helped her down.
Lin Qingquan turned around and asked the coachman, "Why are you making bait? If you really enter the realm twice, it will definitely aggravate your body's decay. Don't you want to live?"
The coachman smiled bitterly, but there was a gleam of expectation in his eyes, "I am a pariah. Even if I watch the child grow up, I can never say that I am his father. But if I became a hero because I volunteered to kill demons, say Maybe I will be commended by the shogunate. At that time, even if I die, the children will be able to openly recognize me as a heroic father! It’s better to risk your life.”
He looked forward, but he didn't know that his child was actually a magic fetus.
Lin Qingquan looked at the coachman without saying a word, and there was a gloomy look between his eyelashes.
As long as the best results can be achieved, it is nothing to hide.
"Without further delay. Act tonight," he said.
The whole village abstains from sex, so those who commit adultery in this environment will definitely feel the arrival of the wind chime demon.
The coachman was arranged by Lin Qingquan in a room of the post station, nervously waiting for the woman who wanted to cooperate with him.
The paper door opened, and a woman wearing a hat came in. The white gauze at the edge of the hat was longer than her shoulders.Her satin kimono shone brightly under the candlelight, and her hair was flowing down at her ankles. Wherever she went, she kept her head up and her chest high. She was very confident, completely different from ordinary women with chests full of tact.
The coachman was dumbfounded: "Little...Miss?"
"It was Miss Saito's request, and I can't stop it." Lin Qingquan stood at the door, and Mumu was standing at the door with him.
Two people, one yellow and one white, are both thin, standing together like two tall and straight pine trees.
"Being the bait of the devil this time is very dangerous. You are already on the verge of death, and there is a high probability that you will die suddenly on the spot if you get the magic power again. Considering that you are Miss Saito's servant and considered her property, I have to Tell her."
Lin Qingquan shook the bamboo fan, the hair on his temples fluttered with the wind, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, after you die, I will be charged with destroying other people's property and pay her compensation."
"Miss...you shouldn't come." The coachman said timidly, "I don't deserve you to do this."
Miss Saito took off her hat calmly, "Don't think too much. I just don't like sharing toys with other women, that's all. Besides, you are dying, and serving me one last time before you die is considered a thing Make the most of it."
She turned her head and said to Lin Qingquan and Mumu: "However, with your two bare hands, can you really win the heart of the devil?"
Lin Qingquan smiled, put his wrist on Mumu's shoulder and half leaned against it, held the tip of its chin with the closed bamboo fan, and said: "If there is this person, it will be absolutely fine."
The two retreated and closed the paper door, leaving only the young lady and the coachman in the room.
Ms. Saito broke the silence first, "What? You don't want to serve me when you're about to die?"
The coachman sat without moving for a long time, and said sadly, "You shouldn't have come."
"When will it be your turn to take care of the master's affairs?!" The young lady said fierce words, but the devil's tire in her stomach didn't move at all.She didn't get angry at all, "Undress me quickly! Do you want me to get you drunk to obey me like last time?"
Without paying attention, she said the little trick before, and when she said it, she suddenly felt that it was inappropriate.
The coachman was stunned, but he didn't ask any more questions out of consideration for her face.The two looked at each other silently.
The young lady coughed and said, "Put out the candles and act early... I heard from Xiao Lin's family that we don't have to be the last one. Just hugging and kissing each other may attract demons to come. So, you don't have to." One more magic hit..."
The coachman leaned over suddenly, clenched his fists and loosened them, and finally bravely held her blushing face.
The candlelight jumped like a bird between the eyebrows and eyes of the two, and inexplicable emotions were growing.It was cold late at night, but the temperature was rising, and each other's eyes were glued to each other's faces.In fact, they didn't have any thinking in their minds. They were just too immersed in their emotions, which resulted in a performance similar to trance.
After a while, the coachman said solemnly, "Thank you for looking up to me, Miss."
"What?" Miss Saito curled her lips, "It turns out that I just wanted to thank you after thinking about it for a long time."
The coachman withdrew his head again, and said helplessly, "Actually, I want to say something very shy and explicit. I wonder if you would like to hear it..."
"Say it!"
"Actually, I wasn't very drunk that night..."
The young lady froze for a moment, and touched his cheek with her palm. Just as she was about to kiss him, there was a tinkling wind chime from outside the door.
The sound of the bell is both near and far away, with ups and downs, as if hitting the ear.
"The devil is coming."
Outside the house, Lin Qingquan and Mumu hid in the corner, and saw with their own eyes a ball of will-o'-the-wisps appearing out of thin air under the eaves. It was green and faint, and the will-o'-the-wisps expanded and solidified, and finally formed a goldfish-shaped entity.
The surface of the glass is painted with fish eyes and fish scales, which looks lifelike, like a fish-shaped amber.Suzuko, who ran from the fish's mouth to the fish's tail, was shaking wildly.
The sound of the bell swayed like wild laughter inside and outside the house, wandering in the air like a swimming snake.
"Grab it!" Lin Qingquan said.
Mu Mu first grabbed Lin Qingquan's hand and covered his ears, jumped a few times, and grabbed the Wind Chime Demon in his hand.
Under the white moonlight, it leaps flexibly like a dragon flying into the clouds, and finally stands on the roof of the station.Its clothes fluttered in the high-altitude wind, and behind and above its head was an unobstructed night sky full of stars, as if it was about to fly away on a crane.
Lin Qingquan opened his eyes wide in surprise when he saw it.
"Mumu!" he called nervously, "Don't be dazed! Get your heart!"
After staring blankly for a moment, he raised the wind chime towards him, and the cuffs slid down to his shoulders, revealing two white arms.
It has already pulled the bell letter of the wind chime, and the bell letter has no contact with the glass cover at all.But the wind chime was ringing strangely, the sound came out of the glass out of thin air, the rhythm became faster and faster, and the sound became louder and louder, sounding like an alarm.
How could a still wind chime still ring?
Lin Qingquan caught a glimpse of the deep-eyed expression, and immediately understood:
This sound is the heart of the devil.
Realizing this, his whole body was about to tear apart.
Sound is intangible, how to get it? !
"Let go of my father!" The little devil who ate the village head's daughter-in-law appeared.
This time it was no longer a newborn covered in blood.
It had clothes to wear, and the top of its head was washed clean, and it was even tied into a soaring braid.
Although the appearance is still two or three years old, there is a kind of weather-beaten ferocity on the face, making it look like an adult suffering from dwarfism.
"Let go of my father!" It flung its teeth and claws at its eyes. It was small but very nimble, jumping onto the roof like a rubber ball with strong elasticity.
Lin Qingquan came up with a plan, "Leave the wind chime alone. Catch the little one!"
Mumu nodded, and just like Lin Qingquan taught it to make predictions when he was fishing for goldfish, it grabbed Xiaomo's neck with precision.
The little devil flailed his limbs and kicked desperately in the air, like a bastard whose shell had turned over.
"Mumu, smash the wind chime." Lin Qingquan looked at the little devil expressionlessly, "Then use the fragments of his father to dig out its heart."
Xiao Mo was stunned when he heard this, and then broke free with even greater strength, screaming frantically: "Don't! Don't!"
At this moment, the wind chime continued to emit green light, the sound stopped, and it turned into a wisp of will-o'-the-wisp, slipping away from between the fingers of the eyes, and slowly gathered into a human shape under the night.
Tall, slender, with a smooth physique, but bald.
"It seems that even demons have kinship. After all, they can't be indifferent to their son's plea for help." Lin Qingquan stood below, raised his head, and smiled at the wind chime demon who had transformed into a human.
The Wind Chime Demon was silent for a while, then said: "Please let it go. Although it is a demon, it has never harmed anyone."
"Why hasn't it harmed anyone?" Lin Qingquan said, "Isn't the host eaten by it a human?"
"The desire of the devil's fetus to eat the host cannot be restrained. It is a talent engraved in the bones, and it is a necessary stage like birth, old age, sickness and death. Just like people who can't control sleep when they are extremely sleepy, the devil's fetus will be painfully lost when awakening. Rationality is simply irresistible."
The Wind Chime Demon continued: "Although it is true that he ate that woman, my son has never hurt anyone since he became a demon, and he will not harm anyone in the future."
"It's useless to talk more." Lin Qingquan sneered, "I don't believe in the nature of demons."
"It's true, I beg you to let it go!" Wind Chime Demon's voice revealed a trace of earnestness, "It doesn't even mimic its own heart! Its heart is the same as a human's heart!"
Lin Qingquan looked at Xiaomo's chest, where a heart was beating, circulating blood throughout his body.
The Wind Chime Demon said sadly: "The devil's heart is not imitating, you know what it means. Although we demons are powerful, but because of the special function of the heart, we will be coveted by humans. If humans gather to attack us, the demons will even be called Therefore, imitating the heart is the greatest protection for oneself. But even so, I want to keep its heart in its original state."
Lin Qingquan asked: "Why did you do this?"
"Because I want my son to live as a real person." The Wind Chime Demon said with a vicissitudes of life, "I used to be a human being, but suddenly became a magic fetus... I want my son to continue my previous life. , the true continuation of life."
"Father!" Xiaomo yelled in despair, tears streaming down his face, but he was firmly controlled by Mumu and couldn't break free.
The Wind Chime Demon glanced at it and said, "I am willing to donate my heart, please let it go."
"Impossible. Even if it is forced to eat the host, does that young widow deserve to be eaten? She is not yet 20 years old, she could have remarried or lived well under the protection of her parents-in-law. Killing people will pay for their lives , so I refuse your request. I have to take both your heart and your son's heart."
Shaking the bamboo fan, he said calmly: "Besides, we have the ability to get your heart. We don't need you to offer it, and we don't have the willingness to negotiate with you."
As soon as the words were finished, Mumu flashed past, and his fingers touched the Wind Chime Demon's throat in an instant, pierced in, and pinched its vocal cords.
It was extremely fast, and it flashed a swift shadow under the night, and the movement of rushing over was just like a white moonlight sweeping in front of the eyes, the white light was quite dazzling.
It wasn't until the bloody vocal cords were pulled out from the throat, and looking at the strangely shaped lump of meat, the Wind Chime Demon realized that his heart had been ripped out.
There was a big blood hole in its neck. After being stunned for a long time, it said bitterly: "It's so fast. It's really..."
The body of the Wind Chime Demon was diverging and disappearing, turning into dense dark green ashes and flying towards the sky, like a paper figurine being set high in the sky and being burned.The ashes flew upside down like snow and fell into the gap between the stars in the sky.
The vocal cords on Mumu's hand suddenly turned into a heart.
The demonized world becomes a wind chime, and the heart is simulated as a bell; after being transformed into a human form, it is simulated as a vocal cord.
The little devil yelled in an emotional breakdown.
Seeing his father's death with his own eyes, he was extremely excited and finally broke free from the eye's hand, and frantically grabbed the floating ashes, but disappeared as soon as he touched the ashes.
It just stood there in the feather-like waves, its wide-open eyes were empty and lifeless, and the dark green ashes touched its skin frequently, and it melted when touched.
It knelt down feebly and looked up at the sky.
In the field of vision, there is a sky full of stars like diamond stickers.There are also fragments of the floating and impermanent father, spiraling up from the eyes, rising to a very high place and disappearing among the stars, in a sense, it seems to live the same life as the sky and the earth.
The little devil tilted his head, his rolling eyes followed a piece of ashes, observed carefully, and saw the piece of ashes hovering and climbing up.
"Mumu, it's time to end all of this." Lin Qingquan stood below, shaking the bamboo fan, with a cold expression on his face.
His eyes froze for a moment, but he nodded.As a result, the little devil yelled viciously: "You don't need to come!"
It pressed its hand to the left chest, ripped open the skin and flesh, groped among the organs for a long time with its fingers, and pulled out its own heart.
The heart was beating steadily, and thick and thin blood vessels were brought out, disconnected from its body.While crying and choking with tears, Xiao Mo cut off these blood vessels one by one, completely detaching the heart.
It holds the heart in both hands, mimicking it into a piece of dark green ashes.
When the devil's heart is separated from the body, it is about to die.
Xiaomo exhausted his last strength and blew hard, blowing the ashes into the feathers.
It fell, utterly dead, and the body disappeared without a trace.
Until its death, it considered itself a part of the Campanula.
The piece of ashes mimicked by the heart whirled and fluttered, flying higher and higher, and was finally caught by Mumu and returned to its original shape.
He stared at the two hearts on his palm, one big and one small, shaped like a peach, dark red, with atrium and ventricle.
A demon's heart is the same as a human's heart.
Mumu paused on the roof for a while before jumping off, walking through the quiet night breeze to Lin Qingquan, and offering both of his hearts to him.
Its eyes are always bright, and when it looks at itself intently, there is always a sticky emotion.
Lin Qingquan could feel this kind of stickiness from the very beginning, but as the two of them spend more time together, this kind of stickiness has not faded, but has become more intense and lasting.
Sometimes as long as you meet this kind of eyes, it's like a flame that is about to burst out.
Lin Qingquan didn't take the heart immediately, but touched its face with his hand, and asked softly: "I always let you hunt and kill the same kind, isn't it a bit cruel?"
Mu Mu shook her head, then turned her face and kissed his palm.
The kiss came suddenly.A warm force grew in Lin Qingquan's heart, like hot water melting ice.
Lin Qingquan, who had been mean and rational all his life, finally realized at this moment that his heart had always been frozen.At most, he felt that he was just a little numb and dull before.
"Save her! Save her!"
The coachman ran out of the room, holding Miss Saito in his arms, sweating from panic.
Ms. Saito was already unconscious, her skirt was covered in blood, and even her finger pockets were stained.
Lin Qingquan almost clapped his hands and laughed, "That's great! She had a miscarriage."
He fell on the spot, was so excited that he was out of breath, and almost passed out.When he regained consciousness while pinching the person, the first thing he said was: "We must thoroughly investigate the demon's troubles, and get rid of the demon and its descendants and grandchildren!"
Under the summoning of the village chief, Lin Qingquan gathered all the pregnant women whose husbands had died suddenly, and questioned them one by one.
He wanted to find out how the Wind Chime Demon used the world.
"Since the recovery of the magic power, have you and your husband noticed any abnormalities around you?" Lin Qingquan asked, "Think about the abnormalities inside the body and the external environment."
The pregnant women who were pregnant with the devil's fetus lined up in a row, wearing plain white mourning clothes, they all shook their heads and said, "No."
"Really not?" Lin Qingquan asked again, "You better think about it carefully. Especially... about the abnormality of the wind chimes."
As soon as the wind chime was mentioned, as expected, several pregnant women obviously looked uncomfortable.
"Really...no. The abnormality of the wind chime...doesn't exist."
Look at them all blushing, with evasive eyes and secretive looks.Lin Qingquan naturally knew that there must be something strange in it, so he said in a more serious tone: "This matter is not only about the death of your late husband, but also about your life and death. Your husband died suddenly because he was infected with magic power. As a close wife , will you all be safe and sound?"
The pregnant women were all silent.After a long time, one of the oldest pregnant women spoke cautiously: "About the wind chime... there is indeed something that is not abnormal, but it can be considered a violation of the rules set by the elders..."
"Please say."
"...That night, the wind chimes under the eaves kept ringing. But my husband still insisted on having sex with me..."
The other pregnant women also looked like they were hit, feeling ashamed and silent.
The Japanese like to deify things and phenomena. For example, they regard the sudden disappearance of people as "ghost hidden"; A monster called "Mirage" is at work.
Fengling Village makes a living from wind chimes, which are the lifeblood of the whole village; over time, the villagers worship wind chimes as gods, and almost every household hangs wind chimes under the eaves.The wind chime has become an existence like a guardian.
Out of respect for the gods, there is an ancient rule in the village: when couples have sex, if the wind chimes under the eaves ring, it means that the spirit of the gods has passed.As a husband, he must restrain his desires, stop intercourse, and go to bed early.This is respect for the gods.
This rule is undoubtedly "against humanity".
Few men can control themselves at that time.The older generation obeys the rules, but the young people don't care anymore.
Lin Qingquan figured it out: Any husband who turns a deaf ear to the sound of wind chimes and insists on continuing to have sex has entered the realm of demons.
The husband who enters the realm begins to rot from the body until the rot spreads to the heart, and he will die suddenly.
But it's just that the husband died suddenly.Once a man has the magic power, after having intercourse, his wife will be implicated to conceive a magic fetus.
And the day of childbirth is when the devil's fetus awakens, and the mother who has been pregnant for many months becomes the devil's first feed.
The degree of tragedy is equivalent to exterminating the door.
So far, the truth of the Wind Chime Devil's behavior has come to light.
The village head made a decision based on this: the whole village abstains from sex.
Lin Qingquan immediately set off to look for Miss Saito with eyes on his eyes.
The Saito family belongs to the next of kin of the royal family in blood, and their main business is to supply the royal family with high-quality incense wood, incense burners and other incense utensils.
Women are naturally sensitive to fragrance.Therefore, the heads of the Saito family have been women for generations, and they have extended their heirs through recruiting sons-in-law.
The sons-in-law of the past dynasties not only have to take care of the family's internal affairs, but also take it as their duty to give birth to daughters.If it is really impossible to give birth to a daughter, they can only adopt the beautiful and wise daughters of other people's families for training.
As the only aristocrat in Edo whose main business is women, Saito's family is famous in Kannai.
It is not difficult to find out the address of such a nobleman.
When Lin Qingquan and Mumu came to visit, it was the coachman who made the hostess pregnant who came out and opened the door to greet him.
Looking at the simple yet handsome coachman, Lin Qingquan felt a little complicated.
On the night he spent the night with the young lady, he was drunk and had sex with the young lady when he was unconscious.Maybe he doesn't even know who the woman under him is, let alone the sound of wind chimes.
"You...why did you come to the door?" The young coachman narrowed his eyes and observed Lin Qingquan for a long time, then glanced at the eyes of the white clothes next to him, suddenly panicked, "Why are you coming to the door all of a sudden...I'm not really going to die, are you? .”
Indeed, his internal organs were more severely dissolved.Even the stomach is glued together with the rotten intestines, and it looks like a piece of mushy cake, which is hard to bear to look at.
Corrosion has reached the chest cavity.
Such a situation is very close to the son of the dead village chief.
"Yes. You are really going to die. I'm worried that you won't last for two days." Lin Qingquan said bluntly, "All men who have been enchanted will rot inside their bodies without exception and die."
"I already know." The coachman smiled bitterly, "I heard that those husbands died suddenly, and there were rumors that they turned into worm-like software... When I heard it, I didn't feel any disturbance, just like listening to a joke. I just watched with cold eyes. But now... I have changed, I have really changed. "
Lin Qingquan followed his drawn-out voice and asked, "What have you changed?"
"In the past, I especially admired chicness, and the reason why I chose to be a coachman was also due to this temperament. I like to travel around to taste delicious food. If I have the opportunity, I will visit local brothels and get acquainted with women from different regions. I originally Thinking about being unmarried in this life, and living a life alone without restraint. But everything changed that night..." There was a trace of sadness in the driver's eyes, "I became extremely afraid of death."
He said sadly: "After having a child, people tend to become afraid of death."
Lin Qingquan examined these words for a long while, thinking about it in his heart, but saw the coachman kneel down towards him.
"You are a doctor from Xuanwu Mountain, and you have predicted that my young lady is pregnant, so there must be a god who can help you! I want to ask you to save me...I don't want to die...I want to grow up with my child... ..."
When he knelt down, the puddle of tattered turbid liquid in his stomach was also swaying, but the skin was intact, like a bottle containing poisonous acid juice.
Lin Qingquan paused for a while and said, "Unless you eat the heart of the devil, you will surely die."
"Devil's heart?" The coachman knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked at Lin Qingquan as if he was a god.
"That's right. It literally means the heart of a demon." Lin Qingquan said, "Only this thing can save lives."
"So, where is the devil?"
The lady in full dress is supported by a maid, standing in a wooden pavilion, her black hair reaches her ankles, she has no eyebrows, and she has a strange Japanese classical beauty.
The coachman got up with a whoosh, hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, and blushed.
She had been observing secretly not far away, and now she smiled shrewdly, and said to Lin Qingquan: "Last time I heard you talk about demons, I inquired about them when I went back, and got a few important pieces of news: no matter how If you are seriously ill, your heart will be brought back to life if you take the demon; also, after purification, the demon fetus will turn into a meatball, which has the effect of beautifying and rejuvenating, and is an excellent health medicine... Alas, I know too well It's too late. Some nobles with more means hired ronin and ninjas to take the heart of the devil and put it in gold. It will be used when old and sick..."
Miss Saito glanced lightly at the coachman, pointed at the driver and stepped on the fallen leaves all over the ground, "How is your investigation on the demon in Fengling Village?"
Lin Qingquan looked directly at her, and said: "The devil's body is a string of wind chimes, which appear under the eaves of various roofs in the village, including the village head's house, and the post where you spent the night together. Since you have been to Fengling Village for vacation, Fengling Village has You must have heard of this rule."
Miss Saito raised her eyebrows, "What rules?"
"If the wind chimes keep ringing, the men and women in the house will stop having sex."
"I heard that. But so what?" Miss Saito smiled contemptuously, "That night, there was indeed a wind chime ringing. But I don't even care about the driver's wishes, do you think I still care whether a wind chime rings or not? ?”
"You don't know the reason." Lin Qingquan said, "If you violate this rule, you have entered the realm. Men will rot from the inside, and women..."
At this moment, Mumu made a hissing gesture, and his eyes signaled him not to say any more.
Lin Qingquan saw its fingers resting on its lips, and the white jade knuckles were embedded between two thin layers of red lips, giving it a unique sense of sculpture.
There is a lesson from the village head's daughter-in-law, who thinks it is better not to stimulate pregnant women.
Otherwise, it will encourage the awakening of the magic fetus in her stomach.
So Lin Qingquan stopped talking.
He looked at the light, and his actions naturally became bright.
"To be honest, Xiao Lin's family, I want to get the heart of this demon." Miss Saito straightened the broken hair on her sideburns, "It's not because I want to save a lowly driver...I just want to keep it, In case you need it in the future. Do you have a way to get it?"
The coachman felt a little sad when he heard her say that, he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
Lin Qingquan looked at the shrewd face of the lady, and said meaningfully: "Yes. But the premise is to lure the demon out of the hole and let it show up. Only when we see it, can we take its heart."
The young lady said clearly, "How do you want me to help you?"
"This demon is fond of prostitution, and there is a high probability that it will stare at couples who have sex, and then attach themselves to their roofs. Those who do not want to control their desires will naturally fall into its hook. Now the whole village is abstaining | sex, trying to attract demons To get out of the cave, Ms. Saito needs to use her power to help find a man and a woman for adultery, so that she can show up."
The coachman said in shock: "But in this case, that man will easily become a victim..."
"Sacrifice is necessary." Ms. Saito said coldly, "Give some money and find two untouchables from a poor village as bait. It is the most suitable. The lives of untouchables are worthless, and the heart that can be exchanged for demons is worth more than money." .”
The young coachman showed a tangled look.He has always been afraid of Miss, and has a low eyebrow and pleasing to her every decision, but at this moment he boldly said: "I am also a filthy human who was born in an untouchable village. Untouchables are also human..."
The lady interrupted him: "Don't think that since I have your child, you have the status to speak!"
The coachman looked timid, but still summoned up his courage, and asked Lin Qingquan cautiously: "Let me go. People who have already been enchanted once, it doesn't matter even if they are enchanted again. Anyway, eating the devil's heart will be fine." ..."
The young lady slapped him on the face and shouted angrily: "How dare you!"
Emotional fluctuations caused the magic tire in her belly to move, and it instantly swelled a bit.Her face was pale, and she reacted violently to morning sickness. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and kept retching, and the maid hurriedly helped her down.
Lin Qingquan turned around and asked the coachman, "Why are you making bait? If you really enter the realm twice, it will definitely aggravate your body's decay. Don't you want to live?"
The coachman smiled bitterly, but there was a gleam of expectation in his eyes, "I am a pariah. Even if I watch the child grow up, I can never say that I am his father. But if I became a hero because I volunteered to kill demons, say Maybe I will be commended by the shogunate. At that time, even if I die, the children will be able to openly recognize me as a heroic father! It’s better to risk your life.”
He looked forward, but he didn't know that his child was actually a magic fetus.
Lin Qingquan looked at the coachman without saying a word, and there was a gloomy look between his eyelashes.
As long as the best results can be achieved, it is nothing to hide.
"Without further delay. Act tonight," he said.
The whole village abstains from sex, so those who commit adultery in this environment will definitely feel the arrival of the wind chime demon.
The coachman was arranged by Lin Qingquan in a room of the post station, nervously waiting for the woman who wanted to cooperate with him.
The paper door opened, and a woman wearing a hat came in. The white gauze at the edge of the hat was longer than her shoulders.Her satin kimono shone brightly under the candlelight, and her hair was flowing down at her ankles. Wherever she went, she kept her head up and her chest high. She was very confident, completely different from ordinary women with chests full of tact.
The coachman was dumbfounded: "Little...Miss?"
"It was Miss Saito's request, and I can't stop it." Lin Qingquan stood at the door, and Mumu was standing at the door with him.
Two people, one yellow and one white, are both thin, standing together like two tall and straight pine trees.
"Being the bait of the devil this time is very dangerous. You are already on the verge of death, and there is a high probability that you will die suddenly on the spot if you get the magic power again. Considering that you are Miss Saito's servant and considered her property, I have to Tell her."
Lin Qingquan shook the bamboo fan, the hair on his temples fluttered with the wind, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, after you die, I will be charged with destroying other people's property and pay her compensation."
"Miss...you shouldn't come." The coachman said timidly, "I don't deserve you to do this."
Miss Saito took off her hat calmly, "Don't think too much. I just don't like sharing toys with other women, that's all. Besides, you are dying, and serving me one last time before you die is considered a thing Make the most of it."
She turned her head and said to Lin Qingquan and Mumu: "However, with your two bare hands, can you really win the heart of the devil?"
Lin Qingquan smiled, put his wrist on Mumu's shoulder and half leaned against it, held the tip of its chin with the closed bamboo fan, and said: "If there is this person, it will be absolutely fine."
The two retreated and closed the paper door, leaving only the young lady and the coachman in the room.
Ms. Saito broke the silence first, "What? You don't want to serve me when you're about to die?"
The coachman sat without moving for a long time, and said sadly, "You shouldn't have come."
"When will it be your turn to take care of the master's affairs?!" The young lady said fierce words, but the devil's tire in her stomach didn't move at all.She didn't get angry at all, "Undress me quickly! Do you want me to get you drunk to obey me like last time?"
Without paying attention, she said the little trick before, and when she said it, she suddenly felt that it was inappropriate.
The coachman was stunned, but he didn't ask any more questions out of consideration for her face.The two looked at each other silently.
The young lady coughed and said, "Put out the candles and act early... I heard from Xiao Lin's family that we don't have to be the last one. Just hugging and kissing each other may attract demons to come. So, you don't have to." One more magic hit..."
The coachman leaned over suddenly, clenched his fists and loosened them, and finally bravely held her blushing face.
The candlelight jumped like a bird between the eyebrows and eyes of the two, and inexplicable emotions were growing.It was cold late at night, but the temperature was rising, and each other's eyes were glued to each other's faces.In fact, they didn't have any thinking in their minds. They were just too immersed in their emotions, which resulted in a performance similar to trance.
After a while, the coachman said solemnly, "Thank you for looking up to me, Miss."
"What?" Miss Saito curled her lips, "It turns out that I just wanted to thank you after thinking about it for a long time."
The coachman withdrew his head again, and said helplessly, "Actually, I want to say something very shy and explicit. I wonder if you would like to hear it..."
"Say it!"
"Actually, I wasn't very drunk that night..."
The young lady froze for a moment, and touched his cheek with her palm. Just as she was about to kiss him, there was a tinkling wind chime from outside the door.
The sound of the bell is both near and far away, with ups and downs, as if hitting the ear.
"The devil is coming."
Outside the house, Lin Qingquan and Mumu hid in the corner, and saw with their own eyes a ball of will-o'-the-wisps appearing out of thin air under the eaves. It was green and faint, and the will-o'-the-wisps expanded and solidified, and finally formed a goldfish-shaped entity.
The surface of the glass is painted with fish eyes and fish scales, which looks lifelike, like a fish-shaped amber.Suzuko, who ran from the fish's mouth to the fish's tail, was shaking wildly.
The sound of the bell swayed like wild laughter inside and outside the house, wandering in the air like a swimming snake.
"Grab it!" Lin Qingquan said.
Mu Mu first grabbed Lin Qingquan's hand and covered his ears, jumped a few times, and grabbed the Wind Chime Demon in his hand.
Under the white moonlight, it leaps flexibly like a dragon flying into the clouds, and finally stands on the roof of the station.Its clothes fluttered in the high-altitude wind, and behind and above its head was an unobstructed night sky full of stars, as if it was about to fly away on a crane.
Lin Qingquan opened his eyes wide in surprise when he saw it.
"Mumu!" he called nervously, "Don't be dazed! Get your heart!"
After staring blankly for a moment, he raised the wind chime towards him, and the cuffs slid down to his shoulders, revealing two white arms.
It has already pulled the bell letter of the wind chime, and the bell letter has no contact with the glass cover at all.But the wind chime was ringing strangely, the sound came out of the glass out of thin air, the rhythm became faster and faster, and the sound became louder and louder, sounding like an alarm.
How could a still wind chime still ring?
Lin Qingquan caught a glimpse of the deep-eyed expression, and immediately understood:
This sound is the heart of the devil.
Realizing this, his whole body was about to tear apart.
Sound is intangible, how to get it? !
"Let go of my father!" The little devil who ate the village head's daughter-in-law appeared.
This time it was no longer a newborn covered in blood.
It had clothes to wear, and the top of its head was washed clean, and it was even tied into a soaring braid.
Although the appearance is still two or three years old, there is a kind of weather-beaten ferocity on the face, making it look like an adult suffering from dwarfism.
"Let go of my father!" It flung its teeth and claws at its eyes. It was small but very nimble, jumping onto the roof like a rubber ball with strong elasticity.
Lin Qingquan came up with a plan, "Leave the wind chime alone. Catch the little one!"
Mumu nodded, and just like Lin Qingquan taught it to make predictions when he was fishing for goldfish, it grabbed Xiaomo's neck with precision.
The little devil flailed his limbs and kicked desperately in the air, like a bastard whose shell had turned over.
"Mumu, smash the wind chime." Lin Qingquan looked at the little devil expressionlessly, "Then use the fragments of his father to dig out its heart."
Xiao Mo was stunned when he heard this, and then broke free with even greater strength, screaming frantically: "Don't! Don't!"
At this moment, the wind chime continued to emit green light, the sound stopped, and it turned into a wisp of will-o'-the-wisp, slipping away from between the fingers of the eyes, and slowly gathered into a human shape under the night.
Tall, slender, with a smooth physique, but bald.
"It seems that even demons have kinship. After all, they can't be indifferent to their son's plea for help." Lin Qingquan stood below, raised his head, and smiled at the wind chime demon who had transformed into a human.
The Wind Chime Demon was silent for a while, then said: "Please let it go. Although it is a demon, it has never harmed anyone."
"Why hasn't it harmed anyone?" Lin Qingquan said, "Isn't the host eaten by it a human?"
"The desire of the devil's fetus to eat the host cannot be restrained. It is a talent engraved in the bones, and it is a necessary stage like birth, old age, sickness and death. Just like people who can't control sleep when they are extremely sleepy, the devil's fetus will be painfully lost when awakening. Rationality is simply irresistible."
The Wind Chime Demon continued: "Although it is true that he ate that woman, my son has never hurt anyone since he became a demon, and he will not harm anyone in the future."
"It's useless to talk more." Lin Qingquan sneered, "I don't believe in the nature of demons."
"It's true, I beg you to let it go!" Wind Chime Demon's voice revealed a trace of earnestness, "It doesn't even mimic its own heart! Its heart is the same as a human's heart!"
Lin Qingquan looked at Xiaomo's chest, where a heart was beating, circulating blood throughout his body.
The Wind Chime Demon said sadly: "The devil's heart is not imitating, you know what it means. Although we demons are powerful, but because of the special function of the heart, we will be coveted by humans. If humans gather to attack us, the demons will even be called Therefore, imitating the heart is the greatest protection for oneself. But even so, I want to keep its heart in its original state."
Lin Qingquan asked: "Why did you do this?"
"Because I want my son to live as a real person." The Wind Chime Demon said with a vicissitudes of life, "I used to be a human being, but suddenly became a magic fetus... I want my son to continue my previous life. , the true continuation of life."
"Father!" Xiaomo yelled in despair, tears streaming down his face, but he was firmly controlled by Mumu and couldn't break free.
The Wind Chime Demon glanced at it and said, "I am willing to donate my heart, please let it go."
"Impossible. Even if it is forced to eat the host, does that young widow deserve to be eaten? She is not yet 20 years old, she could have remarried or lived well under the protection of her parents-in-law. Killing people will pay for their lives , so I refuse your request. I have to take both your heart and your son's heart."
Shaking the bamboo fan, he said calmly: "Besides, we have the ability to get your heart. We don't need you to offer it, and we don't have the willingness to negotiate with you."
As soon as the words were finished, Mumu flashed past, and his fingers touched the Wind Chime Demon's throat in an instant, pierced in, and pinched its vocal cords.
It was extremely fast, and it flashed a swift shadow under the night, and the movement of rushing over was just like a white moonlight sweeping in front of the eyes, the white light was quite dazzling.
It wasn't until the bloody vocal cords were pulled out from the throat, and looking at the strangely shaped lump of meat, the Wind Chime Demon realized that his heart had been ripped out.
There was a big blood hole in its neck. After being stunned for a long time, it said bitterly: "It's so fast. It's really..."
The body of the Wind Chime Demon was diverging and disappearing, turning into dense dark green ashes and flying towards the sky, like a paper figurine being set high in the sky and being burned.The ashes flew upside down like snow and fell into the gap between the stars in the sky.
The vocal cords on Mumu's hand suddenly turned into a heart.
The demonized world becomes a wind chime, and the heart is simulated as a bell; after being transformed into a human form, it is simulated as a vocal cord.
The little devil yelled in an emotional breakdown.
Seeing his father's death with his own eyes, he was extremely excited and finally broke free from the eye's hand, and frantically grabbed the floating ashes, but disappeared as soon as he touched the ashes.
It just stood there in the feather-like waves, its wide-open eyes were empty and lifeless, and the dark green ashes touched its skin frequently, and it melted when touched.
It knelt down feebly and looked up at the sky.
In the field of vision, there is a sky full of stars like diamond stickers.There are also fragments of the floating and impermanent father, spiraling up from the eyes, rising to a very high place and disappearing among the stars, in a sense, it seems to live the same life as the sky and the earth.
The little devil tilted his head, his rolling eyes followed a piece of ashes, observed carefully, and saw the piece of ashes hovering and climbing up.
"Mumu, it's time to end all of this." Lin Qingquan stood below, shaking the bamboo fan, with a cold expression on his face.
His eyes froze for a moment, but he nodded.As a result, the little devil yelled viciously: "You don't need to come!"
It pressed its hand to the left chest, ripped open the skin and flesh, groped among the organs for a long time with its fingers, and pulled out its own heart.
The heart was beating steadily, and thick and thin blood vessels were brought out, disconnected from its body.While crying and choking with tears, Xiao Mo cut off these blood vessels one by one, completely detaching the heart.
It holds the heart in both hands, mimicking it into a piece of dark green ashes.
When the devil's heart is separated from the body, it is about to die.
Xiaomo exhausted his last strength and blew hard, blowing the ashes into the feathers.
It fell, utterly dead, and the body disappeared without a trace.
Until its death, it considered itself a part of the Campanula.
The piece of ashes mimicked by the heart whirled and fluttered, flying higher and higher, and was finally caught by Mumu and returned to its original shape.
He stared at the two hearts on his palm, one big and one small, shaped like a peach, dark red, with atrium and ventricle.
A demon's heart is the same as a human's heart.
Mumu paused on the roof for a while before jumping off, walking through the quiet night breeze to Lin Qingquan, and offering both of his hearts to him.
Its eyes are always bright, and when it looks at itself intently, there is always a sticky emotion.
Lin Qingquan could feel this kind of stickiness from the very beginning, but as the two of them spend more time together, this kind of stickiness has not faded, but has become more intense and lasting.
Sometimes as long as you meet this kind of eyes, it's like a flame that is about to burst out.
Lin Qingquan didn't take the heart immediately, but touched its face with his hand, and asked softly: "I always let you hunt and kill the same kind, isn't it a bit cruel?"
Mu Mu shook her head, then turned her face and kissed his palm.
The kiss came suddenly.A warm force grew in Lin Qingquan's heart, like hot water melting ice.
Lin Qingquan, who had been mean and rational all his life, finally realized at this moment that his heart had always been frozen.At most, he felt that he was just a little numb and dull before.
"Save her! Save her!"
The coachman ran out of the room, holding Miss Saito in his arms, sweating from panic.
Ms. Saito was already unconscious, her skirt was covered in blood, and even her finger pockets were stained.
Lin Qingquan almost clapped his hands and laughed, "That's great! She had a miscarriage."
