"Why……?"

"My grandfather had already communicated with your grandfather before leaving this morning. The luggage should have been moved by now, right?"

"this…"

I feel shy, but also a little excited.

Kagome hesitated for a moment and thanked him softly:

"Thank you, Yemen-kun."

Ye Men shook his head slightly and said with a smile:

"You're welcome. In many works, there are plots where the heroine is in danger and the hero arrives at the critical moment."

"I hate this, it's too fake. How can it be possible to catch up every time? The best way is to nip problems in the bud and prepare for a rainy day."

"Hehe... I also think that's too fake." Kagome laughed, and then said, "Well, I will try my best not to hold you back."

The next morning, since the three of them planned to go to five hundred years ago through the Bone-Eating Well at around ten o'clock, they did not go to school in the morning.

Also, because the three of them stayed together the whole day yesterday and all asked for leave today, rumors spread around the school.

Some say it's a love triangle, some say it's an infectious disease, and some say the three of them offended the yakuza and were hit by a car and sent to the hospital.

It is conceivable that for a long time in the future, the reputation of these three people will be damaged and they will always be the center of discussion.

Chapter 25 How do you prove what you said?

They traveled through time and space to five hundred years ago. The moment they jumped out of the well, suddenly twenty-six people dressed as nobles flew out from Yura's body and scattered around the three of them.

"It's the 16th year of Tenbun. There are still 13 years until Imagawa Yoshimoto goes to Kyoto. There is a lot to be done."

"With the title of Kanto Kanrei, even a pig can easily dominate Kanto with our help."

"I'll go to Kyoto. I'm still alive in this era. As long as I get the assistance of the Hanakaiin family of this era, the progress can be accelerated."

"When I was a child, I dreamed of traveling through time and returning to the Warring States Period. I never thought that my dream would come true after my death. The world is so wonderful."

Listening to the chatter of many ancestors, Youluo took the initiative to introduce:

"Yoto-senpai, Kagome-senpai, these are our family's ancestors."

"Since the souls of every generation of family heads would enter a talisman called Pojun after death and would not be reincarnated, so after I returned the day before yesterday, I used the clay secret technique to revive them."

"This morning, before I came, they insisted on coming along and attached themselves to me."

"I see. No wonder there are so many people." Kagome looked around curiously and began to count unconsciously.

"No need to count, there are 26 people in total. Yuro's grandfather is the th head of the family."

Ye Men whispered a reminder and then said:

"It's been two days. I don't know how the house is going. Let's arrange accommodation for everyone first. Let's live here. After that, we will have a meeting to discuss the next countermeasures."

"No, that would be too late."

The 13th generation Xiu Yuan stretched out his hand, and a piece of paper in Yuura's pocket flew out instantly. He chanted a spell softly, and a curtain of light appeared in front of everyone.

Within the light curtain, the contents on the paper are projected in front of everyone.

There was no nonsense on the paper, just a person's name, his location in 1547, and his current name.

Looking at the name above, Kagome suddenly had many question marks in her mind.

Yukitaka Sanada (34), Masanobu Honda (9), Sukemasa Ota (25), Danzo Kato (44), Koroku Minesuga (21), Tokichiro Kinoshita (10), Gen'ei Maeda (8), Muneaki Yagyu (20)...

These are indeed some familiar names, and they are more or less mentioned in history textbooks, but why are there several little children in it?

"Choose one each and set off immediately." The 13th generation Xiu Yuan said with a smile, "These people are now at the lowest point in their lives. Even if they have a master, they are not valued. All of them can be recruited."

"Many of them are too young, aren't they? Even if you count their ages, they are just children." Ye Men couldn't help but say, "Even if they come here, they can't be of any use, right?"

By the time they grow up, the day lilies are no longer useful.

"Isn't being young just right? After training, you can have stronger abilities, and your loyalty will be guaranteed."

"That's fine. Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome. This is part of the deal. Then, we will definitely return before the Kanto Kanrei's succession ceremony."

The thirteenth generation Xiu Yuan greeted them and many family heads immediately dispersed.

In a blink of an eye, only three people from Yemen were left around the Bone-Eating Well.

"Is this okay? Some people are still quite far away." Kagome couldn't help but ask, "By the way, when is the succession ceremony?"

"We don't know about the ceremony yet. We haven't discussed it before." Ye Men paused, "As for their safety, there is no need to worry. After all, he is the patriarch of the Huakaiyuan family, and his strength is guaranteed."

"As for the distance, the strength of the terracotta warriors is not much different from that in life. They will definitely recruit one or two flying monsters as shikigami along the way. It is impossible for them to rely entirely on their legs."

"That's right." Kagome nodded slightly and said with a smile, "There's really no need to worry about 26 very powerful Onmyojis."

At this time, cheers came from a distance.

Out of curiosity, and at Kagome's suggestion, the three of them quickly walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

This place is located behind the residence. For safety reasons, there are three-meter-high stone walls around it, so you cannot see any changes in the outside world at all.

Walking out of the stone wall, as expected, after two days of non-stop construction, the residential area had expanded significantly.

The residence of the three people from Yemen was expanded from a single-story house with five bedrooms and a living room to a three-story building, and the courtyard area was doubled.

On the construction site to the side, a young woman was cutting wood with a sword. With every swing, the tree trunk turned into pieces of wood that fell to the ground in an orderly manner.

There was also a boy who was a little younger than Yuro, carrying a piece of wood that was as big as himself and walking towards that side.

Beside the two of them, several children were watching the fun and clapping and cheering from time to time.

"Are these two new here? That kid is so strong." Kagome paused, then couldn't help laughing again, "He looks like he's only eleven or twelve years old? It's illegal to employ child labor."

"Yeah, I don't know who came here?" Ye Men nodded slightly.

Noticing the three people from Yemen, Nifa Jieluo, who was sitting on the peach tree in the courtyard to supervise them, jumped down instantly and explained:

"Those two are my captives. In addition to them, there are four demon hunters who are cutting stones and processing bricks over there."

? ?

Ye Men was slightly startled. Two siblings, demon hunters? Could they be Coral and Amber?

Well, they do look a bit similar. Is this Naraku's conspiracy?

Seeing Ye Men suddenly put his hand on the handle of the Tessaiga, Nifa Jie Luo took a step back reflexively, his expression changed slightly:

"What's wrong? Can't I attack humans? I didn't kill anyone, I just arrested them all."

"It's none of your business. I suddenly thought of Naraku."

"??? Does this have anything to do with Naraku?"

"I'm not sure, just ask them two."

Nifa Jie Luo breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was none of his business.

With a slight movement of his fingers, the long hair instantly pulled the brother and sister over.

"What... do you want to do again?"

"Master Yemen wants to ask you a few questions. Answer them honestly. This is related to whether you will have lunch today."

Ye Men was speechless. Nifa Jie Luo got into the role quite quickly. After just a few days, he had perfectly adapted to the life of an overseer.

"Yes…"

The girl who was suspected to be Shanhu looked up at the three people from Yemen and her expression turned cold again.

From the time I was caught yesterday until now, I have thought of many ways to escape, but to no avail.

"Who asked you to come here to cause trouble?" Ye Men spoke slowly.

"No one. This is our job as demon hunters. We are not as strong as others, so whatever you say is right."

The girl took a deep breath, raised her voice a bit, and asked in a deep voice:

"Let me ask you, as a human being, why do you want to associate with monsters?"

"That's too harsh. What does it mean to go along with the crowd? Can't it be: As a human, I conquered a group of monsters and worked together to build a better tomorrow?"

"Pfft... this joke is not funny at all. Recapture monsters? I might believe one or two, but this place is filled with demonic energy, it's totally a monster den."

"If you put it that way, then I can only say that times have changed, girl."

"What has it become? Can monsters and humans still live in harmony?"

"Why not? If the boundary between humans and demons could never be crossed, there would be no half-demons in the world."

"That's just a special case."

"To humans and monsters, the appearance of half-demons is just a special case. Then, to the whole world, this village is also just a special case."

"Heh...are you trying to be a saint? Build a village where humans and demons live in harmony and try to change the world?"

"I'm not that great. It's just that, in my eyes, the world is not divided into humans and monsters, but into our own people, enemies, and those in the middle."

silence.

Feeling that she couldn't win the argument with him, the girl was very shaken and kept shaking her head.

"What you said is very good, but how do you prove what you said? This is indeed a village where humans and monsters live together, but how do you prove that the villagers here are not under mental control? How do you prove that the monsters here will never harm people?"

"Why should I prove it to you? Don't forget, you are just a captive."

"Uh……"

It seems that what he said is not wrong. I really have no right to ask these questions.

Come to think of it, I seem to be a prisoner and being interrogated now?

The girl hesitated for a moment and spoke again:

"If you can prove what you said, I can promise that I will never go against you again."

"In your mind, are these two conditions equal?" Ye Men chuckled.

The girl wanted to answer yes, but her conscience and thin skin prevented her from saying it.

"Then what conditions do you want?"

"I should be the one asking you this. As a prisoner, what kind of outcome do you hope to achieve?"

"I hope to leave safely with my family."

"It's a very reasonable request. As long as you are willing to compensate us for our losses, you can leave at any time."

"We have no money, and we were caught by Nifa Jieluo before we could do anything, so we didn't suffer any losses."

"In other words, you want freedom without paying a price? Excuse me, after slapping a passerby on the street, can you just say 'I'm sorry, I got the wrong person' and pretend nothing happened?"

"I'm sorry! Can I get credit for the compensation?"

"What do you say?"

Poke, poke...!

Kagome suddenly stretched out her fingers and poked Yemen's cheek twice, and at the same time, she couldn't help laughing.

"You're going too far if you keep joking, Yemen-kun. Or do you want this lady to give herself to you as compensation?"

"Haha... Sorry, I just thought this was fun."

Noticing the girl's blushing cheeks, Ye Men smiled and asked:

"Actually, I just want to confirm your purpose. Why did you come here to exorcise the demon? Were you instructed or guided by someone else?"

"No, no one ordered us to do that." The girl shook her head slightly. "We were originally planning to throw the monster's body into the Bone-Eating Well, but we found that the demonic energy here was overwhelming, so we wanted to sneak over here to check the situation."

"You also know about the Bone-Eating Well?"

“Well, the Bone-Eating Well is quite famous throughout the entire Musashi Province. As long as you throw the corpse of a monster into it, it will disappear immediately.

Therefore, many monster corpses that carry miasma and poison gas and pollute the surrounding land and are difficult to deal with are brought here by the demon exorcists to be thrown away."

"So that's how it is." Ye Men seemed to be thinking about something. He didn't expect the Bone-Eating Well to be so famous. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with Naraku. What a pity.

"My name is Ye Men, what's your name?"
