I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 142: Clear Ichimonji Changguang, Yunqi

Taodong sat in the corner, hugged his knees and fell silent.

I still had confidence when I was with the fox just now, but now that he is gone and those words have started to spread in the tavern again, the confidence in my heart has quickly collapsed like a sand castle in the waves.

The little civet cat pursed his lips and said, "He will come back."

"How can you guarantee that? I think he has definitely escaped."

A young raccoon scratched his head with gnashing teeth, not knowing what to do.

He kept pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, and couldn't help questioning Taodong.

"Taodong, why are you so ignorant? The fairyland is about to be in great trouble, and Grandpa Lizhui asked us to come out and find a big monster willing to accept offerings. I didn't ask you to offend the big monster, so why are you making things worse?"

"What should we do now? The demons in the fairyland have not been eliminated yet, and now we have to deal with Jiashaxuan. He is a man-eating demon. How can we cats defeat him?"

The raccoon cats were quite anxious, but none of them mentioned giving up Taodong.

Tao Dong buried his face in his knees, his mind was in a mess, his brain was blank, and he didn't know how to answer.

The voices and faces of his father and brother kept flashing through his mind, with the figure of the white fox occasionally appearing.

But the figure was moving away quickly, and the feeling of falling into an abyss enveloped me.

If the fox didn't come back, she probably guessed what would happen to her.

Besides being afraid, he was also somewhat angry that he was going to die without being able to avenge his father and brother.

Tanuki Goro was glad that they had not given up on their companions, but at this point, there was no point in blaming Momofuyu.

So he glared at the young raccoons and said, "Shut up! Tao Dong went to the brothel to sell her body for the sake of the fairyland. Who would have thought that these things would happen later?"

Tao Dong was silent for a while, and said with a dead heart: "If that gentleman hasn't come back after dawn, I will go and apologize to Jiashaxuan, and I won't let him vent his anger on Lixiang."

"What are you talking about? The secret of our raccoon village's prosperity from ancient times to the present is unity. We will not give up any raccoon cat!"

"But Uncle Wulang——"

"Santaro, why are you panicking?"

Tanuko Goro reprimanded the panicked young tanuki, looked back at the six great monsters who were sitting at the upper seats in the tavern drinking, and comforted Taodong.

"Don't be afraid, Taodong. Even if that gentleman escapes, we still have these six chivalrous gentlemen to protect us. They won't let Jiashaxuan take you away."

the other side,
Dongye Yu escorted Taodong to the tavern, and after handing her over to Tanuki Goro, he turned into a cloud and flew out of the Monster City.

As soon as I left the Monster City, time and space distorted, the lights quickly faded away, the high stars fell again, the bright moon was shining with silver light, and everything around me became clearer and more real, as if everything I had just experienced was a dream.

The forest was silent. The night wind stirred the treetops, making the forest sigh. It seemed as quiet as countless other nights.

Old silver coin, are you squatting on me?

Dong Yeyu narrowed his eyes slightly. The surroundings were obviously too quiet. Not to mention the chirping of birds, even the sound of insects had disappeared.

He was on guard and wanted to fly away without thinking.

"Haha, I finally caught you. You want to escape? Take my bullet, fox!"

The cassock hidden outside the demon market jumped out of the forest. The giant bear over five meters tall held a nearly six-meter-long ten-character spear and stabbed it accurately and viciously in the direction of Dongye Yu's escape.

Just as he was about to hit the tip of the spear, Dongye Yu stopped in a hurry, and with great joy, he swung the spear across, with the blade whistling in the air like a ghost crying.

call!
When he was halfway through swinging the spear, Jiashaxuan suddenly discovered that several balls of extremely hot orange fox fire were coming towards him. At the same time, the fox demon had already slid back a long distance.

The giant bear swung his spear halfway and then put it away, turning the cross-word spear with both hands. A strong wind suddenly arose, and the fox fire that hit it was easily shattered into an orange flame cloud.

He waved away the flaming cloud and was about to chase after it, but he heard the fox demon say a few words.

"This is a pure land for the gods to step on."

"Heterodox evil things are not allowed to walk in the realm of gods."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiashaxuan discovered that a circle of glowing spells had appeared around him at some point, and countless filth were purified in an instant. This place no longer looked like a gathering place for demons, but instead became like a pure land in a shrine.

Wow!
At the same time, another circle of spells lit up, as if disgusted with the filthiness of the robes. Dozens of golden chains shot out from the array and locked onto his huge body.

"The exorcist's spell!"

Jianshaxuan was startled, then became furious. The chains only locked him for a second before they were suddenly broken, and the spells composed of magic power instantly dissipated like dust.

"Go away!"

He was about to chase after it, but saw that the fox had turned into white mist and was quickly disappearing into the distance.

"Thief Fox, I won't let you go!"

Dong Ye Yu ignored the angry roar of Jiashaxuan heard from behind him and flew towards Xiaoli Hot Spring Hotel without looking back.

It took some time to get here, but only a moment to go back.

In just a few minutes, the buildings of Xiaoli Hot Spring Hotel were within reach.

It was nearly ten o'clock in the evening. The demon hunters who had been chatting in the courtyard had already returned to their rooms, and a car had just arrived in the parking lot not far away.

Lights illuminated the empty courtyard. Some guests were soaking in the hot spring pool. Naked figures were vaguely visible in the rising steam, and the sound of laughter could be heard.

Someone pushed open the glass shoji door and leaned against the edge to smoke. Occasionally, a staff member in a yukata passed by in the corridor. Unknown insects chirped desperately, and moths fluttered around the light bulbs, casting flickering shadows on the waxed dark brown wooden floor.

The breath of human civilization wafted over, easing the tension from the fight with the monsters just now.

Higashino Yu descended from the sky, and with the divine thoughts of many demon hunters probing him, he transformed into a fox spirit and sneaked into the room of Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, and the prying divine thoughts were immediately blocked.

I opened my eyes and the lights in the room were still warm. The screen in front of me had not moved. The girl opposite me remained sitting upright. The inspiration of heaven and earth and the moonlight flowed quietly into the room and were then purified and absorbed by her.

She seemed to be absorbed in her practice.

In fact, it is not recommended to stay up late to practice before a mission, just like it is not recommended to stay up late to study before an exam. Maintaining your mental state is more important than cramming.

But since they are practicing, I don’t want to disturb them.

Dong Ye Yu observed for a while, then closed his eyes again and began to use his magic power to warm the knife across his knees.

It will take some time for Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu to withstand the power of the demon slayer, so he has to hurry.

"The thief fox is nothing more than that. He lost."

Jiashaxuan returned to the Demon City with a big spear in his hand, laughing loudly, as if he had returned victoriously.

A great demon leaned against a tall building with bright lights and carved beams and painted rafters, holding a jade cup of fine wine. He glanced at his hands without any spoils and asked with a smile, "Jiashaxuan, did you kill him?"

The monk choked for a moment and waved his hands: "Hey, it was almost there. That thief fox was really slippery. When he realized he couldn't beat me, he ran away like a stray dog."

"Heh." The big demon chuckled, "Then there won't be any fun tomorrow."

"No hurry. His beloved little civet cat is here and will definitely come back to die. I'll just let him live a little longer. I'll eat him tomorrow."

Jianshanxuan walked towards the gate of Youkuofang, shaking his head. When passing by a tavern, he caught a glimpse of Taodong huddled in a corner, and transformed himself into a human and walked over.

First he tried to grab the spoils, but he discovered that there were six big monsters sitting in the tavern, one of them had a pair of black feather wings, was dressed in a mountain robe, and had a famous sword on his waist.

It is the legendary Tengu.

He held the wine glass in his hand and gave the bear demon a cold look: "How dare you be so presumptuous?"

Jiashaxuan smiled and took back his hand: "Since Lord Tengu is protecting these raccoon cats, I, Old Bear, will let them go for the time being, but only after daybreak..."

He smiled, turned to look at Taodong and said.

"Little raccoon cat, that fox couldn't beat me and ran away. What do you say? Apologize to me now and go back to serve me. Maybe I will forgive you."

Tao Dong buried her face in her knees, but clenched her fair and slender hands tightly.

She felt that the bear demon was deceiving her, but people around her seemed to be starting to spread the word that the fox had been defeated.

Did he really lose and escape? The little cat was somewhat panic-stricken and didn't believe it, but it seemed as if a terrible voice was echoing in his heart.

What if it's true?

I still have a great revenge to take, I can't die here.

But should the innocent raccoon cats in the raccoon village be implicated?

Father, brother, Taodong may not be able to take revenge.

She was silent for a while, pursed her lips slightly, and was about to get up and follow him back.

"Go away, our Taodong did nothing wrong."

Tanuki Goro stood in front of Taodong and glared at Kassaka Xuan. The other young tanuki also gathered together and yelled at Kassaka Xuan: "Get away!"

Are these civet cats really that brave?
Jiashaxuan was a little surprised. His eyes fell on the six big monsters in the tavern who were observing him, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

These big monsters may help out out of chivalry for a while, but they cannot protect the raccoons forever.

"I've heard of the Li Country a long time ago. It's said to be a fairyland. What a great place."

He said such incomprehensible words and swaggered back to the brothel.

Tao Dong looked at the raccoon cats standing in front of him, and tears appeared in his bright and clear eyes.

"Uncle Goro, Santaro, Tanuki, why are you doing this? He is a demon. It's all my fault. I'm sorry."

"You're right, Momofuyu." Tanuki Goro said in a deep voice, "So there's no need to apologize."

Santaro, Tanuki and other raccoon cats subconsciously looked away. Although they did not respond, they did not move away either.

"Yasi is dead, you are his sister, we should protect you."

Tao Dong was sobbing and unable to speak. He just stared blankly in the direction where the white fox left. The world in front of him gradually became blurred. The bright lights of the Monster City formed a halo in front of his eyes, and there seemed to be a white ball looming in it.

Mr. Fox, will you come back?

The cassock was hung and returned to the brothel.

When the madam and the pimp heard that he had won, they celebrated, but the prostitutes secretly sighed and felt sorry for him.

The madam didn't care what they were thinking. She quickly asked them to welcome Jiashaxuan, set up a banquet, and poured wine for him personally.

Clang!

The musician quickly plucked the shamisen, and the shakuhachi sounded whimperingly. Accompanied by the minor tune, prostitutes in gorgeous clothes danced in the center of the Japanese-style room, and the loud laughter of the monks' robes echoed throughout the building.

As time passed, the news of the fox demon's defeat spread quickly, and cheers broke out in the gambling house, but the dealer had not yet settled the bet.

"We won, why not settle the bill?"

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. The bet says that we should wait until daybreak. It's not even daybreak yet. What if that fox demon comes back again?"

"No, he came back to die. Do you think he's stupid?"

"Forget it. It doesn't matter if we wait until dawn. How about we start a bet and see if the fox demon will come back?"

"it is good!"

The stars and the moon in the Monster City have not changed their positions, but the moon outside is constantly sinking to the west, and the morning star is about to light up.

The power of gods is reviving in the temples and pavilions in the center of the Monster City. It is both a threat and a reminder.

The monsters that did not belong to the Monster Market gradually left, talking about the laughter and interesting stories of the night. These monsters were not afraid that there were big monsters waiting outside with their mouths open.

This is a tacit understanding among the many big monsters in the Monster Market - they are not allowed to attack the small monsters coming and going from the Monster Market.

Otherwise, if the little demon doesn’t come, where will all the goods, spiritual fruits, and spiritual wine come from?
Who will be the prostitutes, musicians, and waiters?
Of course, if any monster dares to provoke the big monster, it will not be protected by this default rule.

"It's going to be daybreak."

Jiashaxuan got up from the bed, glanced at the prostitute who was almost sucked dry by him, put on a brown kimono, and walked out of the room carrying the cross-shaped gun.

When passing by the tavern, his eyes swept over the raccoon cats and the six big monsters who were about to leave, and finally fell on Taodong, grinning.

"I'll wait for you outside."

With no way out, Tao Dong became braver.

She stared at Jiashaxuan, her crystal eyes full of stubbornness.

Jiashaxuan smiled and walked away nonchalantly.

He came to the outside of the Monster Market, transformed into a giant humanoid bear, carried a crossbow spear and sat on a big rock. There were many big monsters and gamblers in the surrounding forest who were also watching.

"Will the fox come?"

"It's hard to say. It's almost dawn. I don't think it's going to happen."

"He'd better not come. Be smart. I bet twenty coins."

The monsters were talking about it, and the raccoon cats came out of the monster market. Tao Dong stood among the raccoon cats and looked around nervously. He didn't see the white fox, and his heart sank.

Kasashixuan turned around with the Jumonji Spear in his hand, first greeted the six great monsters, and then looked at Tanuki Goro.

"These six people can't protect you forever. Hand the little raccoon cat to me and write it off."

Tanuki Goro was about to respond when a nearby monster pointed to the east and said, "The monster exorcist is coming!"

"What, demon exorcists? How many people?"

A monster said in fear, his legs trembling and he almost wanted to run away.

One demon exorcist is not scary. What is scary is that when a demon exorcist comes, he comes in a bunch, like stirring up a hornet's nest.

"one person."

"one?"

The monsters looked towards the east with a look of "that's it?"

There was a small path trampled by wild animals, and a young man was running towards this side.

He was tall, wearing a yukata, wooden clogs, and a long sword on his waist. Facing the light, his appearance could not be seen clearly.

"mortal?"

Jiashaxuan took a sniff with his scarred nose and found that it was the scent of a stranger, like an exorcist.

"Snacks were delivered to our door early in the morning."

The humanoid giant bear stood up leisurely and poked the man with the spear in his hand. The man dodged nimbly and leaped forward several steps, approaching within a few meters of him.

Um? interesting.

Jiashaxuan was just about to stretch out his furry hands to grab the mortal and stuff him into his mouth like a sausage.

But he was seen holding the hilt of the knife, and his voice was calm and familiar: "Chengming Yiwenzichangguang."

When Taodong heard this voice, his heart even slowed down for a beat, as if he was suffocating, and then he was greatly surprised.

She suddenly raised her head and looked over with eyes as clear as autumn water. The young man ran towards the giant bear, with his long sword unsheathed. There was a hazy light attached to it. It was not noticeable in the morning sun, but it made the hairs of the monsters present stand on end.

Clang!
"Yun Qie."

The sharp light of the sword lit up before the sound reached the ears of the monsters.

puff!
There was blood splattered.

I wanted to finish writing it, but I haven't finished it after writing more than 4,000 words. Although the fighting is overwhelming, I still need to describe it well. I haven't described Taodong's psychology much. I feel dizzy and can't write detailed emotions. I have to be sober before writing. I will write it tomorrow. Brother Meng, I can't hold on any longer. I have written almost 9,000 words today.
