It's too difficult to fall in love with rewards

Chapter 64 64. Passive Mind and Eyes
The sudden appearance of the Tengu attracted almost everyone's attention.

The festival exploded in an instant, and countless people scrambled towards the Tengu, wanting to witness its demeanor with their own eyes.The whole scene suddenly became chaotic, the overturned oven, the flying hot oil, and the burning charcoal were kicked away, blooming like a peacock with its tail open, extremely beautiful.

In a very short time, Ju Qingxian reacted.

"Hey, Ah Qing..." Song Ping only grabbed his wrist, and was squeezed to this side, "What's going on, is there an earthquake?"

As soon as the words were uttered, the voice of "Tengu came out" also spread around.The girl's expression changed from doubt to dullness to surprise. After just two seconds, she suddenly jumped on Ju Qingxian's back: "Let's go, Ah Qing quickly take me to see Tengu..."

——Take a fart!

Ju Qingxian squatted on the ground, put her down, and then pulled the bamboo knife from her sister's back with her backhand.

Seeing this, Matsudaira put his arms around his waist and shouted: "Ah Qing, Ah Qing, take Xiao Weiyi up...",
While speaking, she was jumping anxiously.

The people around continued to squeeze in, and Ju Qingxian protected her with one hand, and if anyone wanted to bump into her, he would push them away.

But after all, there were too many people, and almost all of them were taller than him. His sight was tightly blocked, and he could only watch the tengu disappear from the roof.

"elder sister!"

Tachibana called out.

"Eh?" Ju Qingxue hesitated for a moment.

The younger brother pushed back, pushed Song Pingwei into her arms, and ordered: "Take care of her."

"Hey, wait!" My sister became anxious immediately, "That's a dog, take Xiaowei and let my sister chase after her."

"Let's talk about your feet!"

Ju Qingxian dropped those words, and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.

Being small is also good, at least it is much more flexible to get through the cracks of people.

Matsudaira jumped up and looked ahead hard: "Ah Qing, Ah Qing, where did you go..."

"Gone!"

Ju Qingxue frowned.

She is tall and can see farther.

After the tengu came down from the roof, he went directly to the Yaowang Temple, and the younger brother also squeezed a crack through the wall surrounded by monks and got into the Yaowang Temple.

"Sister, hurry up and take Xiaowei..." Song Ping only jumped onto Ju Qingxue's back, and tightly bound his two small arms.

"it is good!"

Ju Qingxue was also worried about her younger brother's safety, so she rushed forward with the girl on her back.

※※※※※

Taking advantage of the chaos, Ju Qingxian sneaked into Yaowang Temple smoothly.

The clear moonlight shines on this Buddhist holy place.

Above the tree shadows on the edge of the lawn is an infinitely vast and beautiful starry sky without any noise or lights.A stone lantern stands in a corner of the lawn. Under the faint light, the surface of the granite steps in front of the Daxiong Palace reflects a cool light.

Go up the stone steps, and there is another open door above.

Inside the gate is the main hall.

Tachibana Qingxian looked up at the mountain gate among the ancient fir trees.

On the left and right sides of the stone steps, the branches and leaves of ancient fir cover the head, and the clear light of the moon just falls on the center of the stone steps, illuminating a path.

There were no figures or movements around.

Where did the Tengu go... Ju Qingxian held the bamboo knife in his hand and stepped cautiously into the gate.

Still no one inside.

However, he seemed to be able to hear the airflow brought up by the clothes when people walked around.

Ju Qingxian, who was walking towards the sound, suddenly stopped.

The night sky is clear and bright, and the coldness of early spring falls directly on the earth with the moonlight.

I saw a black figure appearing in the shadow of the main hall, walking towards his direction.

The thing was black and small.

Probably an animal?
In the darkness, Tachibana Qingxian could only see that the thing had two shining eyeballs.

"what?"

He took a step forward with his sword in hand.

Instead of running away, the black shadow ran to him, gradually appearing in the bright moonlight.Its whole body emits a hazy blue light, it seems to be a strange existence without entity, and a circle of bright red fluff surrounds its eyes.

It turned out to be the white fox.

"What, it scared me." Ju Qingxian bent down angrily, and brought her face closer to the white fox.

The white fox also put its nose close to him and let out a "huh".

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night without sleeping?" Ju Qingxian squatted down and asked.

The white fox got closer, rubbed his nose against the tip of his nose, and coquettishly "beeped".

Ju Qingxian is naturally elegant and imaginative, and he is very happy to see this white fox being so close to him.Therefore, the young boy decided to give the fox a chance to repay his favor for the sake of a bright moon.

"Little guy, tell me where the Tengu went?"

The white fox raised her chin gracefully and stared at him.

Its hair is as white as the snow under the moonlight, and in the pale golden eyes, there is a very human look - contempt.

Ju Qingxian immediately raised his hand and slapped his head to the side: "I owe you a beating!"

"Hey!"

The white fox raised its paw angrily and wanted to scratch him.

"Be quiet!" Ju Qingxian slapped his bamboo knife, pressing down on its little head, and threatened: "Dare to play a small temper in front of me, believe it or not, I will arrest you for sterilization?"

The white fox trembled, and begged for mercy weakly twice.

Is this monster really Ah Yin...Ju Qingxian resisted the urge to help it check its body, and showed a friendly smile on his face: "I have something urgent, can you take me to find that tengu?"

"Hey~"

The white fox barked again, then stuck out its tongue and licked his face twice.

Tangerine's heart felt hot.

I don't know if it's an illusion, just now his eyes blurred, as if he saw Ah Yin kissing himself.

"Okay, the one who should be kissed is also kissed, are you going to lead the way?" He asked with the throbbing in his heart.

The white fox turned around triumphantly, flicking its big furry tail.

Ju Qingxian's face was slapped several times.

"Hey~"

The white fox called out happily, then took a step forward, and climbed out of the fence again.

"Is he outside?" Ju Qingxian followed the fence.

The white fox quickened its pace, and its four little pads stepped across the grass without making a sound.Its speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, Ju Qingxian was left behind.It seemed to be deliberately mocking him, and ran for a while, then turned back and stared at him with mocking eyes.

Sooner or later, I'm going to fuck you up... Ju Qingxian followed panting.

One person and one fox came out of the Buddhist temple, got into the Shinto shrine, and walked directly through the worship hall to the backyard.

The white fox looked back at him, showing a very anthropomorphic look of disdain, then wagged its tail and gracefully jumped into the darkness.

It just disappeared.

Could it be the messenger of God Inari?
Ju Qingxian put his hands on his knees, looking at the road in front of him panting.

There are wild grass on both sides, and a huge torii stands in the middle of the steps with large moss.Generally speaking, there is a god in the middle of the torii gate, and visitors can only walk on the left and right sides.

Ju Qingxian calmed down and walked straight through the middle.

"Om~"

He felt a slight tinnitus.

His vision was dizzy for a while, and then he came back to his senses, the bright moon illuminated his vision as bright as day.

This yard is a somewhat dilapidated Japanese-style yard. The water level of the pond is very low, revealing the stones at the bottom of the pond. There is a huge cherry tree full of cherry blossoms beside the pond.

A sweet aroma wafts through the night air.

With the crisp and melodious chirping of bellworms echoing in his ears, Ju Qingxian took a deep breath, and his gaze changed from the carelessness brought about by his confidence, and became brighter.

The palm of the hand holding the bamboo knife was slightly sweating.

His eyes first looked at the biggest thing in the yard - the cherry tree.

The delicate petals of light pink, bathed in silvery white moonlight, have a coquettish color, as if they have been wet by water.The moonlight seems to have penetrated into the greenhouse, and after fermentation, it turns into a sweet smell, which wafts on the tip of the nose.

This artistic conception can be both beautiful and scary.

Na~
do you know?

Under the cherry tree...

——Buried corpses.

Ju Qingxian stepped forward cautiously.

The tree is old and tall, and the flowers are densely packed in layers, pressing down the branches.

Obviously there was no wind at this time, but the petals were flying in the night, fluttering down from the branches... Ju Qingxian walked over, crushed the petals under his feet, and the shoulders were also covered with petals.

He frowned slightly.

In Japan, cherry blossoms represent many beautiful legends, but there are also some mysterious stories among them.For example, the legendary Flower Blossom Kiyehime, every year she starts from Okinawa, the southernmost point of Japan, through Kyushu, Kansai, Kanto, and arrives in Hokkaido along the timeline of cherry blossoms blooming. The cherry blossoms follow her from south to south. The north blooms in turn and spreads all over the place.

But isn't the theme of tonight catching tengu?

Why are you, the god of cherry blossoms, here to join in the fun...

After staring at the night cherry blossoms falling one after another for a while, Tachibana Qingxian originally planned to cross the cherry tree and look elsewhere.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind the cherry tree, and a loud shout from the Kishimoto Police Department.

"stop--"

Ever since, he saw it.

On the wall behind the cherry tree, there was a figure turned over, looking like he was running away in a panic, quite embarrassed.

Long nose, red face, samurai sword on waist, wearing hunting clothes... that's you, Tengu-san!
Ju Qingxian took a step back calmly, holding the bamboo knife in his hand, and made a gesture of protruding teeth.

"stop!"

The voice of the Kishimoto Police Department shouting orders while climbing over the wall came.

Tengu, who was rushing forward, suddenly found someone blocking him, and directly attacked with a bamboo knife.In a hurry, he also drew his knife and stepped forward.

The distance of a few meters is a blink of an eye for an adult.

"boom!"

Two knives hit the air.

Amidst the slightly dull collision sound, Ju Qing frowned suspiciously.

...Tengu also uses a bamboo knife?

The two people wielding their knives staggered apart, and then drew a distance of more than one meter.

Tengu turned his back to the boy, and there was a burning pain in his shoulder... Although the knife was blocked just now, the bamboo knife that the boy slid down along the way still hit his shoulder.

Before he had time to feel too much, he gritted his teeth, held back the pain, and faced the boy's new round of attacks.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of bamboo knives colliding came back again and again, stirring the clear atmosphere... In a very short period of time, Tengu was hit by Tachibana Qingxian many times, and his shoulders, wrists, and left ribs all hurt so much that his face was swollen. twisted up.

The Kishimoto Police Department came in over the wall.

In the courtyard, the young man swung his sword, stretched his back, and attacked, and the cherry blossoms fluttered.

Tengu seems to be completely suppressed.

Mr. Police Department silently went around to the back, blocking the tengu's escape route.

Tengu was a little impatient.

His running skills are not bad, but how good is his swordsmanship...

Ju Qingxian sensed his rookie, and his attack eased down, constantly interfering with his judgment with feints of stepping forward.Faced with this style of play, Tengu didn't dare to relax for a moment, all the muscles in his body were tense, and his palms were full of sweat.

Finally, the boy rushed forward while taking steps.

He turned his wrist, and the bamboo knife rotated with the bamboo knife in Tengu's hand, directly letting Tengu's bamboo knife out of his hand.In the next second, he slashed with his backhand and slapped Tengu on the forehead firmly.

The bamboo knife split open with a crash.

Finely chopped bamboo shavings flew all over the sky along with the cherry blossoms.

"what--"

The Tengu howled.

"It hurts, it hurts..." He cried out in pain, covering his face and backing away.

That mask was directly knocked off by Ju Qingxian's bamboo knife, and it could be seen that there was blood oozing from that face.And on that face was a round bald head.

——Master Yuanhai.

"How could it be you?" Ju Qingxian asked in surprise.

The Kishimoto Police Department was taken aback, and immediately ran over: "What's going on?"

Master Yuanhai took several steps back, managed to stabilize his footsteps, raised his head, and yelled with aggrieved face, "I've been pretending to be a dog for several years, but it's the first time I've felt so dangerous..."

Police Department Kishimoto's eyes widened, and he said with a serious face, "You kidnapped Jun Tachibana?"

"...don't frame this little monk!" Master Yuanhai clasped his hands quickly and explained anxiously, "During the time Master Tachibana disappeared, this little monk was staying at Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto, and all the monks in the temple can testify for this little monk!"

Ju Qingxian thought for a while, and said helplessly, "Did Yaowang Temple invite you to pretend to be a Tengu?"

Hearing his question, Master Yuanhai recited a Buddhist mantra, with a look of annoyance on his face: "The abbot of Yaowang Temple has friendship with the young monk, and the young monk has no choice but to do so."

"No wonder you said to me as soon as we met, 'there is no such thing as a dog, it's just people doing evil'." Ju Qingxian said lightly, with a smile that could not be said to be ridiculed or indifferent, "It turns out that Master Yuanhai knew it a long time ago, the so-called The Tiangu is indeed a man who does evil."

Master Yuanhai blushed and stood there not knowing what to say.

Looking at his expression of collapsed belief, it seems that the Buddha's heart is already shattering.

"Amitabha~"

An old voice came from behind.

Tachibana Qingxian looked over and found that it was an old monk wearing a monk's robe, and Soichiro Yagyu also walked in casually with a piece of thatch in his mouth.

"It's no wonder that Yuan Hai did this. The old monk asked him to do this." The old monk said as he walked, and when he came inside, he clasped his hands together and saluted, "The old monk is the abbot of Yaowang Temple, and he is responsible for this matter." , all on the old monk.”

"You planned the rumor of Tengu?" Kishimoto Police Department looked at him.

"Yes, as early as many years ago, the old monk did this." The abbot said in a low voice, "Times are changing, and young people come to the temple less and less to worship Buddha. The old monk did this to make Yaowang Temple live on..."

"Worshiping Buddha is not as fun as disco dancing." Yagyu Soichiro said carelessly.

The breeze blows slowly.

Among the fluttering and falling cherry blossoms, the old monk talked loudly about his difficulties.

Ju Qing was obviously not interested in hearing this.

He quietly exchanged his Mind-Eye skill and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

At this time, he still had a lot of doubts in his heart.

If what Enkai said is true, and he had been in Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto before, then the real tengu must be someone else.It would be too stupid for him to be spotted so easily through such a big show of pretending to be gods and ghosts... The real tengu should still be hidden somewhere here.He is waiting, if Yuan Hai can't fool him, he will really show up...

Tachibana clearly believed in this.

Just when he thought so, "Ah Qing~", at the door, Tachibana Qingxue with a nervous face rushed over with Matsudaira Yui behind her back.Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, blowing away flying sand, rocks and countless cherry-colored fragments, and the leaves on the trees were hunting.

Moonlight pours from the gaps between the petals.

The fragrance of cherry blossoms is vaguely mixed with a faint fishy smell.

"Om~"

There seemed to be a humming sound in my ear.

In Ju Qingxian's vision, he suddenly sensed in advance: a silver-white knife track was falling from the tree, and was about to rush straight towards the door.

The other party was about to take hostages... He instantly sensed Tengu's intentions, and sprang forward with horror.
