The Coercion of Scum

Ok.

On the weekend after that, the man named Ken did not show up.

Even so, I still have a sense of anxiety. After all, that person did not show an attitude of giving up. Monday.

"Oh, this book is so good to read!

The girls sitting next to me are chatting about something.

Hey, so tired.

Yesterday, due to the practice of spells, I consumed a lot of energy, and I am currently lying on the table boringly. To be honest, I don’t know what spells I still learn in this era of hidden ghosts. After all, none of the animals I have seen have been cultivated into spirits. In other words, as a monster hunter, I have no use for my skills. What we can do to learn these is just to pass on the traditions of our ancestors.

By the way, the current girl surrounded by oleanders, although they look pretty good, but she seems to say that she wants to marry a rich man every day.

At this moment, she is holding a comic book in her hand. The content seems to appeal to girls of this age. It’s true, isn’t it just normal comics, although I really like the girly comics they watch, but Wouldn't it be too public and too shame to bring it to school?

Thinking about these things, I couldn't help but glance at it curiously, trying to see what girly manga they were watching. But the above content was beyond my expectation.

If I am not mistaken, it should not be a Japanese-style manga, but a Chinese painting.

In the beautifully produced picture album, there are black and white landscapes, pavilions, men and women of all ages. Each page has a different theme, some depict the indulgent life of princes and nobles, some depict the home entertainment of ordinary people, and of course children's play scenes.

Oh oh, this one is very fresh, an atlas of Chinese painting style.

Out of curiosity, I also walked into the crowd and glanced at it.

"Oleander, what are you looking at?"

"It's Takezawa, I'm looking at the album of "Anthology of Ancient and Modern Monsters"."

Sitting on the chair, glanced back at me, Oleander smiled slightly, and answered me like this.

I have an impression of the ancient and modern collections of strange monsters. It seems to be a collection of information about various monsters written by the famous demon catcher family through hundreds of years of travels. Of course, it also includes the editor’s What I saw and heard in various places when I traveled all over the world, in short, is a very famous book.

But since it is this kind of book, of course it can attract the attention of children. After all, this is a picture album that records strangely shaped monsters, especially some of the monsters are pretty handsome.

The first edition of this book was written in ancient texts without illustrations. Later, after the book became famous, various painters added their own imaginations based on the original records and published them in various editions. Even the plot of the travel notes was added to the story.

And the page that Oleander turned to at this moment was also a seemingly strong monster:

The figure is huge, full of fluffy, human face animal body, showing sharp fangs. Not only does it have such a strong appearance, this big monster is also posing in the picture of demolishing the house.

"Wow, this monster seems to be very powerful."

I've been watching carefully and couldn't help but sigh.

The oleander is indifferent.

"The second classic in the South, there are beasts, which look like a bear with a tiger's back, a dog's head and four legs, a changeable human face, and the blood of killing, which is often shown in human face to lure people at night.

From her slightly plump lips, there was such a strange-sounding ancient text.

And I am the monk Zhang Er who has no idea.

"What are you talking about oleander?"

"This is the original description of this monster named Fengluan."

"It turns out it's called Fengluan, it's as huge as a peak."

I stared at the pattern on top of my head, and I could see that the monster's eyes were clearly in the painting, but they were flashing amazing green light as if they were real.

At this moment, because she was surrounded by a group of people, Oleander seemed a little happy to be the focus, so she looked around, and then a smile appeared on that indifferent face.

Chapter 314 Acupuncture Kung Fu

"Since everyone is here, let me tell you. This kind of phoenix is ​​a very powerful monster. It is a combination of dogs, bears, tigers, and people. The source is probably that the souls of these creatures met in the wild, in order to obtain Maintaining one's own body and forming an all-in-one terrifying monster."

"It's amazing, there must be a lot of resentment."

I stroked my chin and said with a sudden realization.

I also know that the soul incarnates into a monster, and it's not a new state of affairs since ancient times. Because not only humans, but even animals and plants have souls. The difference is just how much sage these souls can have. Of course, souls with a high degree of sapience are not willing to be reborn immediately after death, so they will become lonely souls. A ghost is either possessed by a flawed person or combined into a monster.

But this thing can fit to this point, it seems to be very powerful.

"By the way, oleander, does this monster have any characteristics? If you look at the picture, it likes to do big damage?" No, it is lifting the roof of the house now, with the purpose of catching the girl to eat. "

When talking about this, Oleander's face clearly showed an expression of disgust.

And I was also taken aback.

"Eat, eat girl?"

"Well, this monster is very strange. The girl with delicate skin is the most demanding food." Oleander murmured, as if thinking of something, his face dignified and hugged his arms.

Noting her unusual attitude, my curiosity couldn't help but be mobilized.

So I spoke to her cautiously.

what's happenin? How can you care about virtual monsters so much? "

"It's not a virtual monster, you know, monsters or something, until today, up to this moment, there are also existences that hide in the dark and stare at humans."

"As expected from a family of intelligence experts who like to collect styles, it seems that your vigilance has always been strong." "Hey, after all, I have never forgotten the traditions of our village."

"Traditional or something

When she said that, I repeated it like a parrot.

To be honest, our village seems to be a gathering place for the once capable people and strangers. Everyone lives together in order to be able to take care of each other and take care of each other's needs.

However, with the development of the times, the traditions of the village have long since declined, which is also an indisputable fact.

The descendants of the Fengshui master opened a hot spring hotel, the descendants of the acupuncturist opened a massage parlor, the descendants of the onmyoji master were farming, and the descendants of the weapon master operated toy production.

The infrastructure of the village is of course getting better and better, and there are a lot of tourists, but there are fewer and fewer people paying attention to the monsters. I even wonder if the monsters who live in groups have disappeared in the crowd and started a normal life.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really ironic, haven't all the traditions of the village been lost?"

"Hey? What are you talking about, Zhu Zeyu."

My words caused a backlash from the students who heard it. A small percentage of everyone looked at me with dissatisfaction. Especially the relish oleander that she was still holding the Yi Yao Ji just now, she hung her eyes, closed the book, got up directly from the seat, and took a step towards me.

Faced with the questioning eyes of everyone headed by her, I realized that I was doing something wrong. After all, the times are developing, and our village is not a small country with few people. Since it has exchanged with the outside world, it must be different. So I bowed my head sincerely, intending to apologize before arousing public outrage.
