Chapter 139 Is There Such a Life (3)

[The days of pure practice in the mountains are generally very boring. Studying scriptures, cultivating spiritual power, practicing archery, and learning herbal medicine knowledge. In addition, the early rice shrine maiden traveled around when she was young and learned a lot of miscellaneous knowledge. passed down. Nagato Tsuruko learns very quickly. In the blink of an eye, she has been practicing on the mountain for more than a year. Seeing that it is almost the time for New Year prayers, the villagers of Zaodao Village began to prepare to go up the mountain to pray. This time, the Wasae Miko planned to let Nagato Tsuruko host it. 】

[Preparing for New Year blessings is relatively complicated, and everything must be carefully prepared. The early rice shrine maiden said that praying for blessings requires sincerity, and everything must be prepared with respect. Even if it is a sign for villagers to write their prayers, every piece must be nourished with spiritual power. Of course, the task of cutting pieces of wood into the shape of a brand naturally fell on the Inugami of the shrine. Inuyasha actually couldn't understand why he, a powerful half-demon, was doing such trivial things here. It's just that his new master, Nagato Tsuruko, is too cold-tempered and will make him sit down on his knees if he disagrees with him. Inugami's knees also hurt a lot. As time went by, spring passed and autumn came, Inuyasha actually had a somewhat clear idea of ​​Nagato Tsuruko's temperament. As long as he followed her temperament, nothing would happen to him. At first, he planned to give this brat some color and let her understand that he was not so easy to control, but unknowingly, he wanted to see the face of this dead brat, which was really not a good thing. 】

["Inuyasha, how many signs have you made?"]

["Three hundred and fifty-nine." Inuyasha responded weakly, and then looked at the rice balls in Nagato Tsuruko's hands, and his stomach growled. 】

【"Want to eat?"】

[Inuyasha nodded, then his face turned red, and he snorted: "No!"]

[Nagato Tsuruko took out a rice ball with plums and threw it aside. The Inugami of the shrine, who had been starving for a long time, still cared about his dignity at this time. He put his hands and legs on the ground and jumped out. He directly bit the rice ball into his mouth and ate it happily. dew. 】

[Similar things happened many times, and Nagato Tsuruko would always smile quietly. Nagato Tsuruko put the remaining rice balls aside, then began to pick up a prepared sign and nourished it with spiritual power. For more than a year, Nagato Tsuruko basically did not go down the mountain. The only time I went down the mountain was on the day of the Waseda Village Festival last year. At that time, Ming Shenchun was about to give birth and could not go out. Axiu did go out with Nagato Shinji, and they met once. At that time, Axiu was already three months pregnant. Later, Saburo Nagato sent a letter saying that Naru Shenharu had given birth to a son. Last month, Nagato Shinji also sent a letter saying that Axiu also gave birth to a child, a daughter. Nagato Tsuruko smiled again, then put down the nourishing sign and took another piece. At this time, Inuyasha, who had already eaten, was squatting on the ground and wagging his tail. He was obviously a very obedient guy. Everyone is doing well. 】

The boss stopped writing here, and then a breeze blew on the yellowed paper, gradually drying the handwriting. It was the wind played by the Japanese fan in the maid's hand. As for the Japanese fan, I probably found it at the shrine.

Is this considered writing a book at night?

Luo Qiu lowered his head and smiled, feeling that the pages of the book were not bound into a book, but were spread out one by one. After he wrote one piece, You Ye picked it up, then breathed the fragrance of orchid, and blew on the not-dried book while reading. The ink marks will probably be more comfortable.

When the ink on this page was dry, the maid opened a new blank page for the master. Luo Qiu then dipped some ink and started writing the story again.

[On the first day of the new year, villagers put copper coins into the shrine money offering box, then walked up the steps and shook the bell. The villagers of Zaodao Village are one after another, neat and orderly. At this time, Nagato Tsuruko was in front of the nearby wooden fence, waiting for the villagers who came to hang up the prayer sign. Few villagers know how to write, and they need the help of witches to write their wishes. In the past, this was the job of the Wasae Miko, but now it has been taken over by Nagato Tsuruko. It's just that this wooden fence is much higher than Nagato Tsuruko, so the shrine's Inugami must be used in some places. The villagers of Waseda Village have known for a long time that there is a monster here that was captured by the Waseda Miko. Now that it has been conquered, of course there are far fewer places to be awe-inspiring. Moreover, except for his silver hair, ears and tail, Inuyasha is no different from ordinary people in other places. Even apart from these, he can actually be regarded as a handsome young man. 】

["Hey! Don't ride on me, little brat! Be careful, I'll eat you!" InuYasha stared fiercely at a guy with a runny nose who was stubbornly riding on his shoulders, frightening the kid to howl. stand up. 】

["Sit down!" Nagato Tsuruko shouted. 】

[Of course Inuyasha felt pain in his knees. The pain of his knees hitting the ground directly at high speed made even Inugami feel very uncomfortable. In fact, he hadn't received this kind of treatment for almost three months, and he thought Nagato Tsuruko was tired of playing this kind of game. But Nagato Tsuruko didn't pay attention to Inuyasha's 'sad' eyes at this time. Instead, he walked to the scared child and comforted him softly. InuYasha looked at it and thought with disdain: Aren't you just a dead brat? But no matter how he thought about it, he didn't dare to say such words. 】

【"The bamboo has grown a lot."】

["Mother." Nagato Tsuruko heard the voice and looked forward. In front of him was a quiet woman holding a baby in her arms, calling Shen Chun. As for Nagato Saburo, he was with him. Not far away were Nagato Munechika, Nagato Shinji and his wife, and the child Axiu gave birth to. Nagato Tsuruko saw them one by one. She did not choose to reconnect with the Nagato family immediately, but continued her work of helping the villagers. This made Saburo Nagato and his wife who saw them feel happy and distressed at the same time. Thinking about Nagato Tsuruko's age, he should have been born to his parents without any worries. 】

[Naru Shenharu and the child were handed over to Nagato Saburo at this time, and then walked towards Inuyasha. She was once born in the Waseda Shrine. Although she is now married and no longer a shrine maiden, she has not completely severed ties with the Waseda Shrine. Naturally, she can recognize the origin of Inuyasha at a glance, "Inuyasha-sama!" 】

[Finally I saw a human being who was polite to me! InuYasha was very happy and snorted softly, "What's the matter? If not, just go back. I'm very busy!"]

[Naru Shenchun said sternly: "Bamboo is still young, I hope Lord Inuyasha can take good care of him in the future. This child is born to be stronger. If there is something on his mind, he will not tell others easily. If from now on, Zhuzi will be offended in any way, I hope Inuyasha-sama won’t take it to heart.”]

[Inuyasha waved his hand very generously, looked at Naru Shenharu and said: "Don't worry, how could I care about such a brat?"]

[Naru Shenharu bowed deeply in front of InuYasha, "Then, Tsuruko will be handed over to InuYasha-sama."]

[Inuyasha has never been exposed to such a situation, and he suddenly panicked, not knowing how to deal with it. Looking at Naru Shenharu's caring look, Inuyasha couldn't help but think of his own life experience. As a half-demon, those pure-blooded monsters naturally cannot feel the hardships they have endured, and ordinary people cannot feel it either. He felt that half-demon should be a particularly lonely and helpless group. Maybe his human mother shouldn't have given him birth. Or, if his human mother was still alive, there would be times when she would ask for help from others, right? If it was for himself, Inuyasha subconsciously asked: "Because this is the relationship between mothers?"]

["Of course, because of my relationship as a mother."]

[Inuyasha actually still had something to say to Naruken Haru, but after Naruken Haru finished these simple words, he started to wait in line behind the villagers. The Nagato family had no intention of using their own privileges to rank ahead of the villagers. It didn’t matter the order of praying, as long as they were pious, it was enough. The group of people waiting for the Nagato family also hung up prayer signs, and the entire New Year's blessing ceremony was completed. The Wasae Miko left the Nagato family to have a meal at the shrine, and then before it got dark, the Nagato family returned the same way. 】

It's true that it's Alex, but it can actually be said that it's not exactly Alex.

The Dream-Eating Tapir exists in every dream, and can penetrate countless layers of dreams, as the only real existence in dreams. Whatever the Dream-Eating Tapir gets in one dream, it will naturally get in other dreams. On the contrary, if you are injured in one dream, you will also be injured in other dreams.

Mei Ji didn't know that she was guarding Alex in the barrier, holding Alex who was unconscious and with injured eyes, but she had actually discussed something with the owner of a certain shop somewhere else. She just felt sorry for this injured man.

The young miko has no intention of breaking through the layers of Mei Ji's barrier. She just frowns like this. She hopes to know the exact answer from Mei Ji's mouth... She can no longer look at certain things from the perspective of her past self. It’s not that things are incomprehensible, nor that the past feels too childish, it’s just that the past self feels obviously much stranger.

"Master Alex, you are someone who is willing to accompany me." Mei Ji shed tears, caressed Alex's face, lowered her head and kissed his forehead, and then glanced at the young miko, " He hopes to have this Yan Wuyue world, so I will use everything I have to help him realize this dream. Doesn’t that half-demon also hope to become a real monster? You have purified all the monster blood in his body! What qualifications do you have to speak against me!"

Unexpectedly, the young miko nodded at this time.

"Aren't you going to send them off? The old woman said you can send them to the foot of the mountain, no problem." Inuyasha asked suddenly, looking at Nagato Tsuruko who was looking at him in front of the steps. While asking, he suddenly thought with some fear that this damn brat would suddenly hit him again and cause pain to his knees. He was even prepared for it. 】

[Nagato Tsuruko raised her head. Over the past year or so, she had grown taller, but she still needed to raise her head when looking at this dog god. 】

["What...what are you doing!" Inuyasha couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He was most afraid of Nagato Tsuruko's gaze that just looked at him without saying a word. 】

[Nagato Tsuruko shook his head and returned directly to the shrine without saying a word. Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that he had escaped disaster this time. Not long after, Nagato Tsuruko came out again, still holding the food box in his hand, and then sat on the first step of the stairs going down the mountain. Inuyasha then remembered that although the Wasae Miko allowed the Nagato family to eat, Nagato Tsuruko had actually been busy with the blessing ceremony and was unable to have a good meal with his family. , probably starving at this time. 】

["Sit down." Nagato Tsuruko raised his head again. 】

["Me?" Inuyasha asked, pointing at himself. 】

[Nagato Tsuruko nodded, "This is the dumpling my mother made for me in the morning. You can eat some too."]

["That's what you said! I'm not polite!" Inuyasha reached out and grabbed a piece of dumpling and started eating it. 】

[Only at this moment did Nagato Tsuruko smile. Inuyasha glanced at him and squatted next to Nagato Tsuruko, looking into the distance. He just felt Nagato Tsuruko leaning against him, and he was about to laugh at this damn brat. He was actually fragile sometimes, but when he took a closer look, Nagato Tsuruko was actually asleep. I woke up early this morning and have been working so hard that I am much more tired than the witch's training. It is not strange to fall asleep. Inuyasha simply didn't move his body, just letting Nagato Tsuruko lean against him, his tail swaying behind him, occasionally gently caressing Nagato Tsuruko's back, and occasionally reaching out to grab a piece of the food box. I didn’t dare to move too much about the dumplings, so I ate them slowly. The sun was setting, and the two shadows in front of the shrine were long and thin. 】

"You..." Mei Ji never thought that the young miko could admit it so simply. This is the same person who did not admit that she was the source of the evil, directly chose to cut off everything, turned a blind eye to everything, and then hid back in the shrine... ...Nagato Tsuruko?

"Because I really don't have the qualifications." The young witch walked towards the barrier step by step and said calmly: "If I don't have the qualifications to control you, then I won't have any burden to make you disappear."

The layers of barriers were shattered like this, and the young miko summoned a bolt of thunder and shot straight towards Alex's body.

There was a huge murderous intention in Mei Ji's eyes, and she blocked the thunder with one hand, until her arm was bloody and bloody, but at the same time, she jumped out very quickly, leaving a huge wound on the young miko's body.

It was a huge straight wound from the shoulder to the waist. As a result, the young miko retreated more than ten meters. Mei Ji said bitterly: "I really don't dare to kill you!"
