"Bang!"

Madara kicked the unknown monsters with his short legs and shouted that he wanted to swallow them.

The black monster like fog flew backwards wailingly, hitting the rock and fainted very neatly.

"Ahhh, I'm so annoying, why are there so many annoying guys!"

Ban kicked hard on the tree beside him, and then gently fell back on Shi Lu's shoulders. He felt something was wrong, so he climbed up to his head and lay there deflatedly.

"Don't want it, don't want Lord Madara to take action again! I'm not a bodyguard."

"I didn't say it, you did it yourself." Shi Lu smiled and reached out to push away the branches that blocked their sight.

As the branches covered with green leaves were pushed away, the scenery on the other side of the mountain appeared clearly in the eyes of the two of them.

The sun in the sky has risen a little, and orange light shines on the mountains freely. Large areas of clouds have been dyed golden, like flowing burning fireworks.

"The sun is coming out, spot." Shi Lu looked up and looked at the sunrise quietly, "It has been seventy-five days."

"……Um."

It has been seventy-five days since I left Heian Kyo.

When Madara heard this, he became less emotional. After so many days, they almost found a similar mountain that meets the conditions. If there were no clues, the little devil from Heian Kyo might really die.

Shi Lu was not in a hurry. He knew that Wusan would not die, and this "world" would not allow such a thing to happen. This is a kind of protection for the characters in the plot.

It was indeed intentional to get close to Wusan, but Shi Lu did not expect that he would develop into such a relationship with him.

But since he has reached this point, he is not the one who will leave his responsibilities behind. The story of changing the plot has been done in the previous few worlds, so it is not bad here.

Shiruo made sufficient preparations and even convinced the head of the Muzakaya family and his wife that they promised not to hire a doctor, and the monsters in the forest agreed and would not let strangers approach Wusan.

He explained to the close servant who was taking care of himself, that is, Liangzi.

I also told Wusan himself.

During this period, as long as the spring water is obtained, the next tragedy that lasts for thousands of years will not happen.

There will be no ghosts, nor will there be no ghost killing teams.

"What are you thinking?" Madara lowered his head and slapped Shi Lu's forehead, and then he obviously rubbed the soil stuck to his remaining claws on his cloak. "Looking for a few more places will be really over. Humph, even if you can't find it, you'll have to do your best."

"Okay, let's keep going." Shi Lu came back to his senses and led him to continue to walk deep into the forest.

"Sir C, can this be drunk?"

A little fox with red fur circled the lake for a few times, not knowing what to do, but finally asked the big monster sitting on the tree, "It's so small, will it take a few days to drink?"

He has not yet transformed into a human form, but he can speak.

"It doesn't matter, spring water is alive, you can drink as much as you want, it will replenish the lake."

The female monster leaning against the tree branch had gorgeous makeup. She was wearing a dark purple kimono and holding a long pipe. She slowly spit out the mist and answered the fox gently.

"Is this a cure for human diseases useful to us?"

"I don't know." C hit the ashes, "Maybe it can increase the demonic power, but it shouldn't be too much."

"Okay." The little fox nodded in disappointment, licked a few sips of lake water, said goodbye to C, and then happily ran back to the woods.

Seeing that he ran away, C turned his head and looked aside, "Why, I heard it, this thing is useless to monsters."

"Tsk, how do I know if you are lying to someone!" Banju jumped down from another tree and landed steadily on the ground. "Maybe you want to own this spring."

"...", C did not reply. She looked at Ban in surprise, "White, White Pig Monster?"

"No, no, is it a steamed bun monster?"

"Ha???" Ban's hair exploded all over his body and his body swelled up, "What did you idiot say?"

"You actually think that such a handsome and elegant Lord Ban is, is it a white pig? Is there something wrong with your eyes!"

The more Madara spoke, the more angry he became. He planned to untie the seal and turn it back into the body, swallowing her in one bite. Anyway, the spring water was found, so it didn't matter which monster owned it.

"Let you see my true face! Your spring water belongs to me... Woo woo woo woo woo woo..."

Shi Lu, who arrived in time, picked up Banban and then covered his mouth to prevent him from saying anything arrogant.

"Sorry, Madara is like this, I'm really sorry."

The monster on this mountain has either not yet transformed or only knows how to clamor for destruction. C hasn't met a polite guy for a long time, and his expression can't help but ease and he becomes interested.

"Are you a human?" She looked at Shi Lu carefully, "This looks like a monster, but it has no magic power. Could it be that Fu Sangshen?"

"Ah, I'm a vampire."

"Vampire?" C searched his head for a while, but found no relevant information, "What is that?"

"It's Western...a monster, no, it should be said to be between humans and monsters."

"It's Western? It seems very interesting."

At this time, Madara successfully broke free from Shi Lu's shackles and returned to the ground, "Don't say that those who have nothing, come and fight! If we win, we will take the spring water and lose. Humph, that's impossible!"

"...What an irritable white pig monster." Glanced at him, C spit out a smoke ring again, "I'm not a type of fighting. If you want spring water, just take it."

"Eh?" The band, who was about to start fighting, was stunned.

"This is not our thing after all. If you discovered the spring water first, we will pay it." Shi Lu bowed to her, "Please don't refuse, this is a reasonable request."

"Oh?" B narrowed his eyes and was touched. She didn't intend to say it at first. "On the other side of the mountain, there is a kind of flower that only blooms at night, and the leaves that soaked in the spring will have an effect."

"Is there any news hidden?" Madachi said, regretting his behavior just now. If they took the spring water and left, it would probably be a waste of time.

"Since I've told you the news, I'm not polite to pay it." C said slowly, "You want this spring to save humans, right? And look at your clothes, are they human styles?"

Is this cloak?

Shi Lu looked down at himself.

"That's right, this idiot wants to save human beings." Madara looked at her vigilantly, knowing that the conditions of monsters are often very strange. The seemingly ordinary requirements may be hidden behind them.

For example, if you want a piece of grass, you have to give back your life.

"What do you want, let's talk about it first."

If it is too much, eat her.

Madara hadn't given up on this idea yet. In his opinion, if he couldn't beat him, he would run away, and if he could beat him, he would fight, and there was no unnecessary negotiation option at all.

"The mountains are really lonely." C said, "But I don't know anything. If I rashly go to the human world, I may make a joke."

"Do you want me to take you to Heiankyo?"

C nodded.

———————————————————————

Ten days later.

Safe Jing.

"Ah, it's really prosperous." C followed Shi Lu with a paper umbrella, looking curiously at the people passing by and the shops on the street.

People's clothing is different. The buildings on the roadside are no longer the same style as those she had seen a long time ago. The tiles have more colors, and the carved textiles on the walls are more refined, which seems to have a different aesthetic.

A child smiled and held the windmill, pulled his father to run by, hit her body, and then passed through.

Only people with spiritual power or demon power can see monsters. Although C has reached the point where he can show his appearance freely, as long as she is not happy, humans will still not be able to touch her.

"Do you have something you want?" Shi Lu took out a bag of money, "Edits or kimonos, Heian Kyo has many new tricks."

"Ah, why are you so embarrassed?"

C clearly kept staring at a hairpin on the stall, but when she heard Shi Lu's words, she refused. She didn't want to owe anything.

"Please accept it." Shi Lu walked over quickly and bought it for her. The hairpin was made of wooden and dyed into a rare purple color. At the same time, it used a lot of reflective natural crystals to make a small pinch of tassels, and a peach blossom was carved at the top.

"Your beauty is enough to control such hair accessories, but it's better to say it's much more than that."

C was stunned for a long time.

When she took the hairpin, a blush appeared on her face unconsciously. Holding the hair accessories, it seemed that pink flowers were floating on the background.

"Is this, according to humans, called a gift?" she asked excitedly.

"Ah, of course, it's a gift."

Looking at C's face holding, Shi Lu smiled and said to Ban on his shoulder, "She likes shiny things, so cute."

"...No, idiot Shivis, she likes the concept of gifts."

He noticed that C was staring at Lu in a daze, and Madao had a premonition that there would be an extra monster to compete for favor in the future.

Then he denied his thoughts.

No, no, no, what's going on with the word "strife"? It's obvious that I'm condescending to accompany this vampire, he's grateful! Other monsters can't shake the status of Lord Madara at all!

But it’s better to get the spell of exchanging names earlier.

"If you don't dislike it," Shi Lu said to C carefully, "I know a woman who can see monsters. She will receive you well. Would you like to live with her first?"
