Chapter 75: Mist Tengu's Code of Conduct

Although he was accused of "killing with eyes" out of thin air.

But Jiang Xia thought about it and found that this sounded a little cooler than "scare people to death".

So he pretended he hadn't heard anything and folded his outstretched wings as if nothing had happened - it was tiring to keep them open all the time.

Then he walked towards the old monk and picked up the old corpse from the ground.

The person was no longer breathing and seemed to have passed away peacefully.

Jiang Xia planned to take the body out, but Xiunian happened to sit down at the door, blocking the way.

Just wanted to ask the little monk to move away.

Unexpectedly, when their eyes met, the little monk suddenly covered his chest in panic, with a look on his face that said, "It's over, it's over. If it looks at me, I'm going to die too."

Jiang Xia: “…”

He pushed Xiunian aside with his wings, reached out to open the door, and carried the corpse into the corridor.

…

In the room, Xiunian was stunned for two seconds, and then heaved a sigh of relief when she found that she was still alive.

——Mist Tengu didn’t seem to intend to kill him, otherwise, he would have been killed just like the old abbot, by a look or an explosion of the heart.

Thinking of this, Xiunian got up, ran into the corridor, and hesitantly followed Mist Tengu, who seemed to have no ill intentions towards him.

Although at first glance, Kiri Tengu does look somewhat similar to his brother.

But after calming down, Xiunian intuitively felt that this monster was not Zhongnian.

Maybe it's just a normal face-off.

It could also be that his brother picked up a young Mist Tengu when he was a child, and during the offering, the Tengu and his brother looked more and more alike. When the Tengu grew up, he went out traveling and came back to find that his brother was dead, so the Tengu killed the old abbot to repay his kindness + take revenge... Well, when you think about it this way, it seems very reasonable.

…

Xiunian approached quietly and secretly observed the pair of wings that Mist Tengu had stretched out from the slit in his clothes and were now quietly folded behind his back.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be genuine.

He reassured himself and asked cautiously, "What else do you want to do?"

——I heard that monsters need sacrifices and humans need to hold specific rituals for them.

Without these, they will eat people.

Xiu Nian: “…” Judging from the current situation, the old abbot must have been treated as food.

But after the Mist Tengu took the abbot away, he still did not return to the forest, but continued to wander around their temple...

Xiunian was worried that Wu Tengu would eat his fellow disciples or the two innocent guests again.

So he wanted to risk his life to discuss with Mist Tengu whether he could stop eating humans and eat incense and other things instead.

…

However, when Wu Tiangou heard Xiu Nian's question, he did not order any food, but replied: "I have already said it."

"Huh?" Xiunian was stunned.

He thought about it carefully and found that Wu Tiangou had only said two sentences.

——"If we want to get our business back to its peak, it's actually very simple. We just need to create one more victim of 'Mist Tengu' here."

——"...I think you are a good fit."

Then, as soon as Kiri Tengu finished speaking, the old monk died on the spot.

Xiu Nian: “…” From this perspective, it seems that the only target of Mist Tengu is the old abbot who uses its name to commit crimes?

This is a good monster who doesn't vent his anger on others and is sensible!

Not to mention that Lord Kiri Tengu also helped his brother to avenge his death.

…

Thinking of this, Xiunian couldn't help but feel a little moved, and the look she gave towards Mist Tengu was no longer filled with fear, but with more awe and gratitude.

Moreover, Xiu Nian thought, this Lord Mist Tengu was not barbaric at all. He did not bang through the walls and reach his destination as the legend said, but walked along the corridor and politely to the confinement room...

…

Jiang Xia couldn't read minds, so he didn't know that the little monk behind him, who was as quiet as a chicken, had so many mental activities at the moment that it was dizzying.

He led the old monk into the confinement room, then raised his head and looked around the room, which was like a well.

The new ghost baby died a miserable death - he was about to marry the beauty, but suddenly "committed suicide" and had to watch his childhood sweetheart marry someone else.

Jiang Xia had just signed a contract with the Tengu ghost by deceiving others. After signing, he felt a little guilty, thinking that he was taking advantage of the situation, so he decided to help the new ghost cut off his obsession and let the old monk experience the feeling of being controlled by the Tengu. …

Only now, after arriving in the confinement room.

Jiang Xia suddenly realized that there seemed to be some problems in implementing this plan.

——When I visited the temple before, there was a lock on the door of the confinement room, and tourists were not allowed to enter.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Jiang Xia did not come in.

Now, actually standing here, he realized that although the ceiling of this small rectangular room was very high, it was very narrow horizontally, and its length and width seemed to be less than three meters.

Jiang Xia held the old monk's body, hesitated for a moment, tentatively spread his wings, and waved them unskillfully.

With a muffled groan, Xiunian, who was standing at the door, was slapped away by one of his wings, and the other half of his wing hit the wall heavily.

Jiang Xia: “…”

...The person who made up this legend certainly did not do any careful research.

There's no way you can fly up here. It's more like using your wings to climb up.

Jiang Xia speechlessly poked the wall with the tip of his wing and gestured, but found that it was impossible to fly up.

So I had to change the route and planned to go outside.

As soon as he turned to the door, he saw Xiunian running back. The little monk knelt down on the ground and apologized in panic: "I'm sorry! It's all our fault that the confinement room was too narrow!"

Jiang Xia: “…” Why is this person still here?

…

There is a waterfall next to it, and the roar of water is so loud that your voices cannot be heard.

Jiang Xia's plan did not go smoothly, and he was in a bad mood. He waved his wings to drive him away: "Go away, don't disturb me."

Xiunian was not very reassured.

But since Master Mist Tengu had said so, he didn't dare to stay any longer. What if Master Mist Tengu felt embarrassed because he couldn't fly up and turned around and hung him, the witness, on the beam? That would not be good...

Xiunian's desire to survive finally revived.

He got up, bowed, and ran back to the dormitory.

…

The surroundings became a little quieter.

Jiang Xia took the old monk outside the house.

Although he could also take the stairs to the top of the confinement room, his plan was to use the "Mist Tengu" method to hang someone, so he had to do what he said and personally take someone up there once for it to count.

Moreover, this was Jiang Xia's first encounter with a puppet with wings. It was impossible for him to say that he wasn't curious and didn't want to drive a few laps to try it out...

…

Speaking of which, compared to the wings, the skills awakened by the new ghost fetus are really hard to describe.

This skill is similar to Death Reappearance.

However, it is a "reappearance of death" in the physical sense, and can only affect the user himself.

In other words, this skill allows the user to commit suicide with one click in a certain way of death.

Just now, the contract ended. Jiang Xia looked at this skill for a long time, but couldn't think of where to use it.

In the end, I had to pretend it didn't exist and concentrate on studying the wings.

…

The weight of the puppet can be adjusted, but the weight of the old monk is fixed.

Jiang Xia struggled for half the night, learning from the birds in the forest. Finally, he trained his wings, carried himself, and flew up from outside the house using the method of a heavenly dog.

Plan Pass√

Jiang Xia took out a piece of rope and hung the old monk's body on the beam of the roof of the confinement room. ...

The beam had not been taken care of for two years and was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Jiang Xia carefully used the new organs on the puppet and managed to leave no footprints on the beam, only a little wing print.

But when Mist Tengu kills someone, what's wrong with leaving a wing mark?

This is not a mistake, but a deliberate proof that "Mist Tengu was here".

Jiang Xia looked at the corpse on the beam, clapped his hands in relief, and called it a day.

He flew around again, experiencing a new perspective, and then released the puppet.

…

When driving the puppet, the physical sensation is not obvious.

As soon as I returned to my body, I felt sleepy all of a sudden.

Fortunately, after signing the contract just now, Jiang Xia moved his real body back into the quilt, so now he can close his eyes and go to sleep.

Jiang Xia yawned and thought that if he unfortunately suffered from insomnia in the future, he could summon this puppet, have it carry heavy objects and fly a few circles, and he would be guaranteed to sleep soundly after returning.

He discovered the puppet's new functions and fell asleep with satisfaction.
