Are all the paper man wives I raised in the cloud real?

But now is not the time to say too much.

Hieda Ali walked up to the guards and said something to them.

Basically, she asked the guards to go back first, and she wanted to show her friends the scenery of Heian Kyo.

The leading guard wanted to retort, but before he could open his mouth, he was blocked by Hieda Ali's insistent attitude.

Then Haida Ali came back alone.

"Uh... I actually meant to take us around tomorrow or when I have time. By the way, didn't you just come back from a long trip? It's so late, why don't you go home first?"

"With your blessing, this long journey has not made me tired. Moreover, I am not a child anymore. I can make my own decisions about everything I say and do."

So the team of two people became three people.

Hieda Ali introduced many things about Heian Kyo to Anqing and Kaguya.

For example, Heian Kyo is not absolutely safe.

Basically, only in downtown areas can transvestites coexist harmoniously.

In more remote and quiet places, it is still easy to encounter monsters that can harm people when you go out at night.

So in these places, people also go home and sleep as soon as it gets dark.

It's basically safe to stay home.

But there will also be some mindless monsters that enter human homes and harm people.

However, this kind of monster will be immediately surrounded and suppressed by Yin Yangliao.

In some busy areas, there are even shops opened by big monsters, and they will also be responsible for public security.

Hieda Ali also told Anqing and Kaguya that it was not just Heian Kyo who could see such bizarre sights.

This is also the case in some other prosperous cities.

There is also a busy night market with many monsters and few humans.

It's called a monster market, and it usually only appears in some cities that were abandoned by humans or built by monsters.

This is an era where humans and monsters coexist.

"This is grilled lamprey. Although its appearance and habits are a bit scary, the taste is excellent."

"This is Tang Guozi, a snack brought back from the Tang Dynasty by an envoy from Tang Dynasty."

Hieda Ali introduced various things on the roadside to Kaguya and Anqing.

Gradually, they came to a more prosperous area.

There are obviously more weird things.

"Okay, we're here, right in front, the most beautiful store, its owner is a big monster."

Hieda Ali pointed to a very conspicuous shop and stopped to introduce Anqing and Kaguya.

"It does look good."

An Qing commented.

The outside of the store was filled with all kinds of lights, colorful but not dazzling.

It would look even better if you walked in.

"Well, that's why I often come here to buy lamps. I'm quite familiar with the owner here... Come on, let's go there."

As he got closer, there was a shout from next to him.

"Beef noodles, [-]% authentic beef. You can't suffer a loss or be cheated -"

A minotaur monster was shouting.

Anqing and Kaguya looked subtle.

If you don't want to become Sun Monkey or Zhu Bajie, and sell nothing else, you can sell Tang Monk's meat.

"Don't believe what he says. The meat is not beef at all. It is fake meat from other animals."

Hieda Ali quietly said to Kaguya and Anqing.

"Huh? Little girl from the Hieda family, are you going to say something bad about me behind my back again?"

"How could it be possible, Uncle Niu, you are too sensitive."

Hieda Ali looked innocent.

"Really? Well...forget it, little girl from the Hieda family, I haven't seen you for a while."

"Just came back from outside."

"Oh, it turns out you're on a long trip. Want a bowl of beef noodles? Lao Niu will use real beef for you this time. It's absolutely real."

"No, I have to take my friends to Sister Qingxingdeng's place."

"Going to find Master Qing Xingdeng? Forget it, I won't delay you anymore, Lao Niu."

The Minotaur Monster lowered his head and started making beef noodles.

So, the bull-headed monster sells beef, and Qingxing Lan sells lamps, right?

Very good, very distinctive.

"Are there many monsters like this here?"

Kaguya asked suddenly.

She was referring to the Minotaur monster, which not only can coexist peacefully with humans, but also seems to get along well.

She saw a few humans eating noodles at the Minotaur Monster's shop.

"No, there are actually very few monsters like Uncle Niu."

Hidena Ali shook his head.

"Although the monsters here can coexist peacefully with humans, they are only due to the pressure from the big monsters and the Onnyangliao. Once they leave here, they will still hurt people."

"After all, monsters have a natural instinct to hurt people..."

.....

103. Between the lamps, the story of the witch

Enter the shop called [Lamp Room].

What appears in front of you is a bright and warm room.

All kinds of lamps, large and small, are placed here, on the floor, on the shelves, on the table, and on the counter.

There are a lot of them, and they don't seem to be placed in any regular order, but they are carefully placed and don't make people feel cluttered.

Each lamp only emits a faint glow, so it is not dazzling.

After An Qing and others came in, there was a slight movement in the back room of the store.

Then a beautiful woman came out of the back room.

Although he is not the Qing Xing Lan in Onmyoji, he still has a pair of extremely eye-catching long legs.

"Sister Qing Xingdeng."

"It's Ah Li."

The big monster named Qing Xing Lan smiled slightly.

Her fondness for Hieda Ali's visit can be seen in her flat smile.

"Who are these two?"

Qing Xingdeng looked at Kaguya and the piece of bamboo floating beside her. He hesitated but still felt two looks.

"They are my friends and important guests, and I show them around."

"Is that so..."

Qing Xing Deng is thoughtful.

"Hello everyone, as you can see, this is a small shop I opened in my spare time. I only sell these carefully carved lanterns."

"If you are here for these lamps, please take a look. I hope you can find the lamp you like."

"However, if you want to take away these lamps, I don't accept ordinary coins. In exchange, you need to listen to me tell a story. Even if you are Ali's friends, this rule cannot be changed."

"Story? Anything special?"

Kaguya asked curiously.

"No, it's just a simple story."

Qing Xingdeng shook his head gently.

"Sister Qing Xingdeng likes to tell stories. I have grown up listening to stories about Qing Xingdeng's sister since I was a child."

Hieda Ali explained for Kaguya.

"Okay, I quite like listening to stories."

Kaguya gladly accepted this exchange.

Every big monster has a long lifespan, and almost all of them have experienced vicissitudes of life. Their bodies are full of stories.

As long as they weren't the kind of vulgar monsters who only wanted to fight and kill, Kaguya was quite interested in other big monsters.

The stories they told couldn't have been any worse.

Kaguya wandered around the store for a while.

It’s not that I haven’t found the lantern I like or that it’s difficult to choose, it’s just that I’m admiring the lanterns.

Finally, she randomly picked a silhouette lamp with the moon and stars that she liked.

"Have you found a lamp you like?"

"Well, are you here to listen to the story?"

"Don't worry, you can come and listen to the story when you have time. After all, my stories are usually not short."

"No need, I'm very interested in the story. It's better to wait until the next day. Just listen to it now."

"That's okay, come with me to the back."

Follow Qing Xingdeng to the back room. This is not a bedroom or any other place.

There are also small lights here, but the lights in the room are very dim and very atmospheric.

"Please sit down."

After Kaguya and Hieda Ali were seated, Qing Xingdeng told her story.

The story is indeed not short. It was not until early morning that the soft and sweet sound of the green lantern gradually fell.

"Well, my story ends here."

"What happened to that miko?"

Hui Ye asked.

"Unfortunately, this story is not over yet. The future of the miko has not happened yet, and I don't know either."

"it's a pity."

"When you leave, take this child with you. I can't stay here."

Qingxingdeng refers to Baitian Ali.

At this time, Hieda Ali had already fallen asleep, relying on a ball of air, that is, Anqing's invisible power, as a pillow, and slept soundly.

"This child falls asleep every time he listens to me telling stories."

Qing Xingdeng showed a hint of doting helplessness.

"......亅"

Although Anqing said nothing, he understood Baitian Ali very well.
