Chapter 10 Section five

There is a faint fragrance of osmanthus in the air. Boya was breathing the fragrance silently. Hanshuiweng sat on Boya's left, and Kaoru sat a little further away from them. The sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance emanates from Xun. Only one light on the candle tray was still on. The hour is night, near midnight. It was late at night.Seimei hadn't been seen yet, but it was already this moment. So far, nothing has happened. "Lord Boya, nothing will happen, just like this until dawn." Hanshui Weng asked Boya. "I don't know." Boya just shook his head. Perhaps, as Hanshuiweng said, nothing will happen; however, it may also happen.It's hard to tell what that will be.

In fact, Hanshui Weng also understood this truth in his heart, but his uneasy mood made him say these words. Boya had a short sword ready to be unsheathed on his knees. In the evening, there was no wind at all, but as the night deepened, the wind gradually picked up. Occasionally, the door would rattle as it was blown by the night wind. At this time, Hanshuiweng and Boya would look towards the entrance in panic.However, every time it was just rumors, nothing happened. Then…… At about the time just after midnight, there was the sound of someone shaking the door at the entrance. It seems that someone wants to open the door.

"Hmm." Boya moved the long knife to his side and propped up one knee. "Oh, I'm so mad, there's a charm posted here!" A low and unpleasant voice came from outside the door. The sound of shaking the door fell silent.Then, another sound came from the wall a little further away from the door, it was as if someone was scratching the wall with long and pointed nails. "Oh, it's so maddening, there are also spells pasted here!" An annoyed and deep voice came over. Hanshuiweng let out a low cry, hugged Boya's waist tightly, his whole body trembling slightly.

The annoyed voice cursed around the house sixteen times in total. Just when the sound just circled the room, the surroundings fell silent again. It was still just the wind. "Is it gone?" "have no idea." Boya's fingers turned white from holding the scabbard of the long knife too hard.He let go of his fingers and put the long knife on the floor. After a while, there was another knock on the door. Boya looked up in surprise. "Cold water, cold water..." The voice of a woman calling Hanshuiweng came from outside the door. "Are you asleep? It's me..." It was an old woman's voice.

"Master!" Hanshui Weng shouted. "What?" Boya stretched out his hand to hold the long knife, and called out in a low voice. "That's my mother's voice. She should still be in Harima Country." Hanshui Weng replied.After finishing speaking, he immediately stood up. "My lord! Is it really my lord?" "My child, why do you ask such a question? You haven't been home for a long time. I really wanted to see you, so I ran all the way to find you. Open the door. You have the heart to keep your old mother standing like this How long have you been in the cold wind?"

"My lord!" Boya stopped Hanshuiweng who was about to walk to the door, and turned to look at Kaoru. Kaoru just shook his head silently. "That's a monster, you must not open the door." Boya pulled out his long knife. "Who said I was a monster? It's outrageous! Han Shui, are you actually with such a heartless person?" Hanshui Weng remained silent. "Come and open the door." "My lord, if you are really my lord, please tell me my father's name." "What, isn't your father Fujisuke..." "My sister married to Bizen country, she has a mole on her buttocks, is it on the left or the right?"

"What are you talking about? There are no moles on both sides of Ah Ling's buttocks..." the woman's voice asked. "Is it really my mother?" Hanshuiweng was about to step forward, but Boya stopped him again. At this time... a woman's mournful cry came from outside. "What the hell is this? A terrifying monster is attacking me! Help! Cold water..." With a bang, there was the sound of someone falling to the ground outside the door. Then there were creaks and clicks, the sound of wild beasts devouring human flesh. "It hurts! It hurts..." the woman's voice.

"This monster is eating my intestines! Oh! It hurts! It hurts..." Boya looked at Kaoru again, but Kaoru still just shook his head from side to side. Both Boya and Hanshuiweng's foreheads were filled with sweat. Suddenly, everything suddenly quieted down.Only the wind remains. Boya let out a big breath.Just as everyone had just taken a breath or two, there was a sudden loud noise, and the door was bent inward. I don't know what is trying to forcefully break into the door. Boya raised the long knife over his head, and stood in front of the door with his legs spread apart, biting his teeth hard, but trembling all over.

The sound of wanting to break into the door lasted for a while, and finally stopped, and the surroundings returned to silence. "Huh..." Boya let out a big breath. The moment of silence passed again. Then, around the time of the ugly hour... There was another knock on the door. "Bo Ya, I'm sorry, I'm late, are you okay?" It was Qingming's voice. "Qingming..." Boya cheered and rushed to the door. "Master Boya, that is..." Kaoru stood up and shook his head to stop, but Boya had already opened the door. Just then— Boom! A gust of wind rushed towards Boya head-on.At the same time, a mass of black mist-like objects followed the strong wind into the gap between the portal and Boya, and broke into the house.

In order to defend, Kaoru stood in front of the black mist, but the strong wind and black mist hit Kaoru with a bang, knocking Kaoru to pieces and dissipating into the atmosphere. The dark atmosphere in the house is filled with the strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. The black mist turned into a stream of mist again, gathered near Hanshuiweng's crotch, and then disappeared. "Oh!" Hanshui Weng put his hands on his hips and fell on the ground.After lying on the ground, he groaned in pain. Hanshuiweng's belly was big and firm. "Han Shui Weng!" Boya ran to Han Shui Weng, hurriedly took out the short sword Qingming gave him from his bosom, and pulled it out.

"Hold this! Quick, hold!" Boya asked Hanshuiweng to hold the dagger. Hanshuiweng clenched his dagger tightly with his teeth, finally relieved his distress. Because of biting the blade sideways in his mouth, both corners of Hanshuiweng's mouth were injured, and blood flowed down. "Don't let go! Just bite like this!" Boya snapped. "Qingming!" Boya called out loudly. How can I do? "Sunny!" Boya had no idea what to do next. Hanshui Weng looked up at Boya with apprehensive eyes. "Don't let go! Don't let go!" Boya could only say this to Hanshuiweng. Boya gritted her teeth hard and raised her face, only to find a figure appeared in front of her eyes. Abe Seimei was standing at the door looking at Boya. "Qingming?" Boya shouted, "Are you really Qingming?" "Sorry, Boya. I went to the mountains, so I didn't come here until now." Qingming quickly came to Boya and took out a bunch of medicinal herbs from his bosom. "It's a summer herb, and during this period, it's almost impossible to find it." As Qingming spoke, he pulled out one or two handfuls of herb leaves with his palm, and stuffed them into his mouth to chew. After chewing in his mouth for a while, he spit out the herb again, then grabbed some with his fingertips, and stuffed it into his mouth from between the blade and teeth that Hanshuiweng was biting. "Swallow." Hearing what Qingming said, Hanshui Weng struggled to swallow the medicinal herb into his stomach. The same action was repeated several times. "Don't worry, keep biting the dagger, as long as you endure for another hour, you will be saved." Qingming said in a soft tone. Weng Hanshui nodded with tears streaming down his face. "Qingming, what did you swallow for him?" "It's angelica." "This is also something that was passed down from the Tang Dynasty. It is said that it was brought back by Lord Kibi Mabe. It originally bred in the deep mountains from Chang'an to Shu, and now there are a few wild species in our country." "Uh, uh..." "From Chang'an to the deep mountains of Shu, there are many monsters that can sneak into the human body from the buttocks of human beings to do harm. In order to protect themselves, travelers swallow the spit essence pills refined from Tianxian grass along the way. During the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong fled from Chang'an to Shu , When passing through the deep mountains on the way, I heard that I also swallowed this kind of vomiting pill." "But, what you just let him swallow..." "I don't have time to refine the Tujing Pill this time, so let him swallow the herbs directly. Don't worry, I let him swallow a lot of herbs, it should be effective." About an hour later, Hanshuiweng rubbed his body in distress. Between the teeth and the blade, exhaled in pain. "Does it matter?" "It doesn't matter, the heavenly fairy grass has begun to take effect." Then... After a while, Hanshui Weng ejected a beast from his hip. There was a very long knife wound on the belly of the beast. It was probably captured by hunters before, and it was almost skinned and deboned. It was a huge and pitch-black corpse of an old Luo.
