I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 213 Where Are You From?

"Spring days are short, and the cherry blossoms fade away in the blink of an eye. The orioles watch the changes of things as they return to the sea and the Tamagawa River, and they feel sad because of their longing."

Miko sat beside the chessboard, gazing at the chess pieces with her bright eyes, muttering a haiku she had composed with a detached look on her face.

"What?" Fei Yi lay on the chessboard, not quite understanding.

"Just a random sigh." Miko replied softly, "Go, go back there and take a look."

Fei Yi blinked, his eyes as clear as a deer sparkling: "Is it okay?"

"why not?"

Yu Zi smiled and said this, suddenly thinking of a question.

"But the demon hunters may be waiting around the Furukawa family. If you go back directly, you might get caught if you run into them."

She said this and hesitated for two seconds.

"If you must go back and take a look, why not ask Dong Ye Ni San to accompany you? He is a very good demon exorcist and can protect you."

"Him? Will he help me?"

Fei Yi felt a little unsure, as he had previously shot down his retainer's pigeon and then threatened to occupy his apartment, thus offending him.

Dongye was a narrow-minded kid to begin with, and now he disliked me. If I went to him for help again, I would definitely be humiliated severely, and it was still unclear whether he would help me or not in the end.

Does Feiyi have a deep prejudice against Higashino Nissan?

Miko thought of what Tono Yu had said angrily before that he wanted to make crow soup, she smiled and comforted him softly: "Tono Nissan is a very good and reliable person. It was Tono Nissan who saved you last night. You can go and beg him first."

Fei Yi sat cross-legged, puffing up his face slightly, looking quite unconvinced: "The one who saved me last night was clearly a fox monster."

"Don't you know? That's Tono Nissan's shikigami, His Highness Ayu."

When Miko said this, she recalled the scene that night when the mist turned into a white fox and flames shot up into the sky, and added: "That was a very powerful monster."

"What if he doesn't do it?"

Fei Yi pursed his lips and asked back, but did not refute. After all, even if it was not Gozen Inari, the one who could borrow the divine ritual was not an ordinary monster.

"If Tono Nissan is very busy, then we can try other methods." Miko replied softly.

"Okay, I'll try." Fei Yi sighed, stood up, turned into an ordinary crow, and flew out flapping his wings.

The strange thing is that, although its body size is no different from that of an ordinary crow, the wind created by its flapping wings is very strong, and it can bring a gust of wind as soon as it takes off.

call!
A strong wind blew through the study, causing the chess pieces and bookshelves to tremble. Fortunately, it was only for a while, and the wind stopped after Fei Yi left.

Miko tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ears, straightened the chess pieces on the board, turned around, and her slender white fingers slid across the spines of the books on the bookshelf behind her, finally stopping on a thread-bound book.

He took it out and found out that it was a chess manual called "Tao Lue Xuan Ji".

Prepare to play chess for a while by referring to the chess manual, and then practice.

At this moment, a cat's head popped out from the side of the shoji door. It was a very ugly tortoise-shell cat, like a dirty rag that had not been washed for a long time, but its cat's eyes were quite smart.

It poked its head into the study, and when it saw Yuko, it shook its cat ears.

"Meow~"

It’s confirmed, it’s a cat with a clip.

It squatted cautiously outside the study, as if waiting for the prince's consent.

When Yu Zi heard the voice, he raised his eyes in confusion, glanced around, and finally fixed his eyes on the tortoiseshell cat squatting in the corridor. His amber eyes suddenly lit up, as if there were sinking stars.

"Nyan-ji?!"

She immediately put down the chess book, picked up her cane, walked quickly to the cat, squatted down and wanted to touch it.

Miaoji first stepped back timidly, looked up and observed Yu Zi for a while, hesitated for two seconds, moved closer, stretched her neck and rubbed her head in the girl's palm, making a gurgling sound like a motorcycle engine.

Miko smiled, her eyebrows and eyes like crescent moons: "I'm so glad you're okay."

"Meow!"

Miaoji circled around Yuko for a while, then looked to her side and saw more than a dozen cat heads popping out from behind the shoji door. There were orange, black, tabby, cow, calico, and all kinds of cats.

When they saw that Yuko didn't hate Miaoji, they rushed towards Yuko and surrounded her.

Yu Zi was stunned. She sat on the floor with one hand covering her mouth. Her amber eyes soon became misty. She recognized them.

"You are Tachibana-kun, you are Kuroko, and you are Tanuki Taro"

The girl's voice was a little choked and distorted, but every time she called out a cat's name, they would meow in response.

After reading out the names of all the cats, Miko pursed her lips tightly, and crystal tears rolled down her fair face. She remembered that day when Higashino Nissan said that Meowhime and the others would all work at Inari Shrine in the future.

So she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, knelt on the floor in a serious manner, bowed slightly, and said like a host, "Welcome to join the Inari Shrine."

"Meow~" X15
Where does the wild cat's cry come from?
Grandma Iori, who was holding a jar and preparing to pickle some food, stopped and looked towards the study. She saw nothing but found Miko sitting by the study door, crying and laughing while holding something.

Maybe it’s Miko’s youkai friend?
Grandma Iori smiled. Although she couldn't see monsters, she had believed very early on that her granddaughter's unpredictable and untouchable monster friends really existed.

Thanks to them, Miko is not so lonely.

She put the not-so-heavy small jar into a room dedicated to pickled items, walked out and rubbed her waist. The gentle spring breeze blended with the warmth of the afternoon sun, making the courtyard bright and refreshing.

This year we have better weather than in previous years. If this is the case in late spring, there should be good weather and good harvests afterwards.

Alas, it seems that my chess skills have deteriorated significantly after not playing for a long time. However, Miko does have some skills, and her strength is only slightly inferior to my peak level.

But if the news of my huge defeat today gets out, it might damage my reputation. If I don’t handle it well, it will become a black history.

Higashino Yu sat on the tatami in his home and sighed, feeling that his faith in chess had been shattered by Miko's defeat.

Xiuji, who was pecking at the cereal meal in her bowl, was surprised to hear this: "Why is the lord sighing?"

Dong Yeyu glanced at him, especially not letting this big-mouthed pigeon know.

Otherwise, if I tell him today, all the monsters in Tokyo might know about it in a few days.

"I'm just thinking about how to make money in the future." Dong Ye Yu said casually.

How difficult is this? My Lord, haven't you already mastered the essence of making money?

Xiuji shook his head and continued to eat hard. Thinking of His Highness Asumi, he felt a sense of security. As long as the lord continued to speak good words to His Highness Asumi, Dongye Castle would definitely get better!

Boom boom boom!
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Xiuji sensed something and suddenly became furious. He raised his head and narrowed his small black bird eyes. Was it Feiyi?
Dong Ye Yu sensed her evil aura and felt a little strange. They had just said goodbye to each other, so why did she come to him now?
I stood up and opened the door, and a girl in a rustic black dress appeared in front of me.

She looked at herself, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Dong Yeyu frowned: "What's the matter?"

Fei Yi was silent for a while, then he lowered his head and said, "I would like to ask you to accompany me to visit the Furukawa family."

"Are you worried about the Furukawa family?"

Dongye Yu looked at Fei Yi with some surprise. This monster was really loyal and righteous.

“They should be fine.”

When Higashino Yu said this, he suddenly remembered that the man and the child were thieves. Takigawa Tadahiro and his team would probably not be in a good mood after the failure of their mission. And knowing that this family were habitual thieves, they might be sent to the police station.

Theft is a serious crime here, and the sentence is at least two years, if not three years. If that man goes to jail, the situation of the Furukawa family probably won't be much better.

Thinking of this, he hesitated for two seconds. He had to go out to send money later, so it was not impossible for him to accompany her.

So Dongye Yu changed the topic and asked, "Where is the Furukawa family?"

He is willing to help me? Fei Yi was a little surprised. He looked up and looked at Dong Yeyu. He thought that the fox was sent by him last night, and he was the one who let him go that day.
Fei Yi's opinion of him changed a little. Although he was narrow-minded, he was not a bad person.

Dong Yeyu frowned: "I'm asking you, what are you staring at?"

Seeing that he was a little impatient, Fei Yi hurriedly wanted to answer, but when the words came to his lips, the whole monster was stunned.

She knew where the place was, but she couldn't describe it. She gritted her teeth and thought for a long time before she could utter a word.

"There's a small temple over there."

"what is it call?"

Fei Yi shook his head: "I don't know."

There are shrines and temples everywhere in Tokyo, how the hell should I know which one you are talking about.

Dong Yeyu was a little speechless. After thinking for a while, he asked, "You can find the place but you can't describe it, right?"

Sometimes even humans will encounter this situation: they can find a place, but it would be difficult for them to tell you the specific street.

Fei Yi nodded quickly.

Dong Yeyu opened the door wide: "I'll go with you later, come in and sit down first."

Fei Yi followed Dong Ye Yu into the house, his eyes swept across the pigeon monster that had turned into a ball of fur and was staring at him, and he looked around Dong Ye Yu's apartment for a moment.

Although the space is small, the items are arranged neatly and look quite comfortable. The mold on the walls and tatami has been cleaned up very well, but there is no peculiar smell, and there is even an atmosphere that makes oneself feel comfortable.

It wasn't the smell of any perfume, Fei Yi himself couldn't put his finger on it, but he just liked staying here, and the spiritual energy here was much stronger than outside.

This is also the reason why she fell in love with this small apartment at first sight.

The feathers on Xiuji's body were all tied up, and he jumped in front of Feiyi like a ball of gray-black fur, and scolded in a rhythmic old voice.

"How dare you! Where did you come from, you wild monster? You entered my Dongye City, didn't observe the etiquette, and dared to spy on me at will. What's your intention?!"

"What's it to you?" Fei Yi glared at Xiu Ji and reached out to hit him.

Xiuji was quick-witted and agile. He hid behind Dongye Yu in one step, sticking his head out.

"I am the governor of Higashino Castle, Master Kichizaemon. You are a monster who is a newcomer. You did not know how to behave when you saw me, and you dared to commit a crime. Humph, you are indeed a stupid monster from the mountains. You are so rude. I will not argue with you!"

As he said that, Xiuji looked at Dongye Yu and complained to Feiyi: "My lord, this monster is disrespectful in front of the palace!"

"Are you going to scold me again?"

"Lord, save me!"

It's okay to have a little fun at home occasionally. Dong Yeyu looked at Fei Yi chasing Xiu Ji, smiled, and stretched out his hand to stop her: "Okay, if you continue to hit me, my house will be messed up, and you will have to pay for the broken things."

"I don't have any money." Fei Yi knocked Xiu Ji's head hard and then sat down.

"Oh, you evil woman, you are so cruel." Xiuji held her head and muttered beside Dongye Yu.

Dong Ye Yu ignored them and leaned against the window with his eyes closed in meditation, thinking that he should take advantage of the free time now to study the Law of the Heaven and Earth for a while.

Ever since he acquired this magical power, he had been pondering it in his mind whenever he had the chance, and had made some progress.

First of all, one thing is certain, this is indeed a great magical power. According to the introduction in the jade slip, if you learn it, you can transform into a body that is ten thousand feet tall. When you fight with other monsters or gods, you can become bigger and taller if you disagree with them. How cool!

Ten thousand zhang is more than 33,000 meters, which directly pierces the atmosphere and is more than four times higher than the Himalayas!

Of course, with his current level of cultivation, he couldn't even reach the height of ten thousand feet, let alone six feet. This magical power was divided into two parts.

The first part is to strengthen the body, using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cleanse the skin, flesh, tendons and bones. The highest level that can be achieved is the stage of being indestructible like a bronze head, iron arms and diamond. However, when it comes to reaching that level, I am afraid it will take an eternity just to cleanse with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The other part is visualization, visualizing oneself in order to cultivate the Dharma image. When one reaches a high level of cultivation, one can summon the Dharma image to stand behind him. It can not only help in battle but even prevent any Dharma from affecting one's body.

As for the true Dharma of Heaven and Earth, one must reach the Yang Shen stage and perfectly blend the Dharma image and the physical body before continuing to practice.

Only when the practice is perfected can one transform into a body of ten thousand feet tall.

Fei Yi saw that Dong Yeyu seemed to be sleeping, so he sat and waited for more than ten minutes. When he found that he had no intention of waking up, he couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Shall we go?"

Dong Yeyu, who was looking up the magical power of astronomy and earth in his mind, said casually: "It will be soon. Someone will come to visit me soon. I have to entertain the guests before I can accompany you there."

As he spoke, Higashino Yu took out a 500 yen coin.

"Go, buy me a Coke, Coca-Cola, not Pepsi. With the remaining money you can buy yourself a drink, and it will be my treat."

Fei Yi reached out to take the money, but Dong Ye Yu didn't let go and said seriously: "This is human etiquette. I bought you a drink, and you have to buy it back when you make money in the future. This is called reciprocity, understand?"

“I know, I know.” Fei Yi nodded and put the money in his pocket. He felt that he was not as smart as Azhi. He just took it and left, so why should he give money?

"Go ahead." Dong Ye Yu waved his hand and sent her away.

After a while, Fei Yi ran back, closed the door and looked out secretly.

"What's wrong?" Dong Yeyu stretched his neck to look, but didn't see anything. He asked in confusion: "Did the fire burn your butt?"

"It's the demon exorcists. Several demon exorcists are coming up! They must have spotted me and are here to catch me."
