"However, these things are only circulated in private, and the real situation is not clear to me."
Qingming sighed slightly.
His father, who was always keen on squeezing him, didn't know what happened this time. He seemed to have remembered a bit of his father's love that had long been forgotten in the abyss. Seeing that the situation in Kyoto was not good, he actually asked to leave when he asked.
He didn't stop him and just let him leave Kyoto far away.
——Okay, actually Qingming knows that his father is actually afraid that he will do something bad in Kyoto.
But even so, he still left as his father wished.
It's not because of family and friendship, but because his body can no longer bear it and he needs to retreat in an absolutely safe place.
So Qingming chose to come here after asking the teacher to divine for him.
Also, because he left early, he didn't pay much attention to the details. He didn't know much about the subsequent plot. He only knew that Kyoto must be in chaos at this moment.
After listening to Qingming's narration, the three of them didn't know what to say.
——The legendary man who stood at the pinnacle of the ghost clan led the entire country of monsters to a war with a family of onmyojis because of a human woman. It is unscientific to think about such a thing.
——There is always a subtle feeling that an idol has fallen off the altar.
And as the leader, is it really okay for you to be so impulsive?!
After being silent for a while, Qiao Xi couldn't help but speak: "Is your public security in Kyoto... so bad?"
——How can a ghost king roam the streets so openly?
Although some of them didn't quite understand some of the words Qiao Xi said, Qingming understood Qiao Xi's meaning subtly: "..."
Although it seems that the focus is a bit wrong, it is so magical that it is impossible to refute it.
Then it was quiet again.
After a long time, Sa Dou suddenly stroked his sleeves and said with a thoughtful expression: "Oh, oh, so is this what Master Qingming heard about?"
Seeing several people looking at him after hearing the sound, he smiled slightly: "I heard a different story here, Ying."
He didn't make any excuses, he just told the version he had heard, and then the mood of several people became even more indescribable.
Sa Dou's version is roughly like this.
One day, the human girl Momiji was playing the piano in the attic because she was too melancholy due to various things. It happened that the Oni King Shuten Doji of Oeyama transformed into a human boy and came to the attic to drink. He heard the order downstairs.
After being moved by the heartbreaking music of the piano, he went to meet the girl playing the piano without permission, and they fell in love with each other at first sight.
When Shuten Doji-sama learned that the reason why the girl was so melancholy was that the Kamo family coveted her beauty and wanted to marry her, he felt quite unhappy.
Even if there is only a one-time relationship, with his dignity and possessiveness as a great monster, he will never allow the humans or monsters under his protection to have any grievances, so this ghost king of the country is very bold and a monster runs away
Warned the head of the Kamo family.
Kamo family: "???"
However, his arrogant behavior angered the Kamo family, who forcibly took Momiji-hime away. However, some unknown accident happened in the middle, and Momiji-hime died unexpectedly, which resulted in the current chaotic situation in Kyoto.
Everyone: "..."
The atmosphere at this time was quite strange. After a while, Qiao Xi pondered for a while and couldn't help but ask Sa Dou: "Where did you hear this version?"
Such a bloody hero saving a beauty and the plot of a strange combination of circumstances - it sounds too exaggerated!
Sakura tilted her head and said sincerely: "Of course it was Master Qing Xingdeng who said that."
Qiao Xi: "..."
Qing Xing Deng, Qiao Xi has heard of this monster’s name.
It is said to be a very scary ghost. She was originally a ghost from hell and often wandered at the gate of the underworld. She would turn into a person familiar to humans and instigate people to play a game called Baigui Lantern.
The so-called Hundred Ghost Lantern is to light 100 white candles, and then all the people or monsters participating in the game will tell a strange and terrifying thing that they have experienced. After each story, they will blow out one candle, and the 100th one will blow out one candle.
The story is told by the person who hosts the game - Qing Xingdeng.
When all the candles are extinguished, everyone participating in the game will be taken to hell. Therefore, Qingxing Lantern is a very ferocious and dangerous monster.
He is not a being with his own territory like Shuten-douji, but he is also a quite mysterious and strange great demon.
Qiao Xi recalled her previous impression of the monster Qing Xingdeng, and felt very complicated.
He bit his lip and thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Does Ying know Qing Xingdeng?"
Sa Dou smiled and nodded: "Yes, Master Qing Xingdeng is a very cute monster who likes to tell stories. By the way, she admires you very much and said that she would come to visit if she has a chance~"
Qiao Xi: "..."
Bu Yue: "!!!"
Qiao Xi subconsciously raised her hand to push Bu Yue back, who was about to jump up, and said with some confusion: "I don't think I've met this big demon before, right?"
Sa Dou said with a natural smile: "It is precisely because Master Qing Xingdeng and you have not been able to meet each other until today that Master Qing Xingdeng is very sorry about this."
Although what Sa Dou said seemed very logical, Qiao Xi still felt quite puzzled: "I'm just a humble god. Why would a big demon like Qing Xingdeng know about me?"
This is not Qiao Xi's attempt to belittle himself at all.
He has been in this world for nearly a hundred years and has never left the house very often. The farthest he went was to meet a human monk with Buyue.
If Sadou said that the big demon was interested in Bu Yue, he would still understand. After all, Bu Yue often went out to challenge monsters, and his martial arts value still had a strong presence in the minds of the monsters.
But to say it myself, it makes no sense at all.
Qiao Xi thought about it and asked her doubts.
Then Sa Dou covered his mouth as if nothing had happened and smiled with a reserved look on his face: "Who knows, maybe it's because Ying once mentioned your name in front of her."
Qiao Xi: "..."
Qiao Xi couldn't help but think about a question for a moment: His angel, who looked like he had no fighting ability and loved to cry, could he be a white-blooded person, right?
Qiao Xi thought about it, then raised her head and said very ruthlessly: "Xiaosheng is very grateful for her admiration, but there is no need to go to such trouble for visiting."
Sa Dou blinked regretfully and could only skip this topic.
——Well, although it is an expected answer, but there is one thing to say, isn't the reaction of his own god when he heard that a girl admired him too bland?
Sa Dou, who was thinking this way, had no idea that the Qing Xing Deng in Qiao Xi's perception was completely different from the Qing Xing Deng he knew.
