Chapter 255 Guarding the Forest
On a low hill, two demons, one human and one demon, were sitting at a table. At present, Inazuma was developing steadily, and they did not need to go out. They had nothing to do all day long and there were hardly any ups and downs.
A hundred years have passed since the death of the great general named Mo. In the now-established Inazuma Castle, the Hiiragi, Kujo, and Kamisato clans are restraining each other. The slightly weaker ones include the Kaedehara clan and the Takasuka clan.
Several villages have been built on the outer islands, and the outward migration development has come to an end. The large island in the west has been officially named Ba Niang Island.
Lei Dianying lay on the table, looking at Mo Ran with a resentful face, like a resentful woman in the boudoir.
"What's wrong again?" Mo Ran and Lei Dianzhen spoke at the same time.
"I'm so bored. I want to go out and play." Lei Dianying raised his hand.
Mo Ran said quietly, "Didn't you just go out yesterday?"
"I just wandered around the sea and didn't do anything. How can it be considered playing? I want to go out today too!" Ying put her hands on her hips, her delicate body in her prime had already achieved some success.
"Ying is such an active child." Lei Dianzhen touched his sister's head. She had already developed into an adult's body shape on her own. She had a broad mind and stood proudly.
"My sister seems to be the same age as me, and she said I was a child." Ying muttered with a pout.
"Same age, different intelligence; same appearance, different heart. In front of the truth, you are always just a child, a child who will never grow up!" Mo Ran held his chin with one hand and said slowly.
"Humph." Lei Dianying tilted his head, looking very proud and arrogant, and said, "Since I am the child, then as the eldest brother of the family, shouldn't you be able to meet the child's requests?"
Mo Ran smiled and said, "Then I have to listen first, otherwise if you make some messed up requests, I will be in trouble."
"Of course not, I just want to go out and play~" Lei Dianying jumped up, threw himself beside Mo Ran, grabbed his arms with both hands and shook them hard, with a pleading look on his face.
"Then go ahead, the door is there. Take care!" Mo Ran stood still, pointed to the door over there, and then waved his hand.
"If I want to go out by myself, do I need to beg you?" Lei Dianying gritted his teeth.
"Okay, Sasalis, take her for a walk." Mo Ran stood up and was about to leave. Sasalis beside him quickly agreed. Although he had known them for a hundred years, he was still very respectful of these three.
"No, I want you to stay with me!" Lei Dianying hung directly on Mo Ran's arm, like a child who loves to stick to younger elders.
Mo Ran held his forehead and murmured, "How come after a hundred years, my mind has regressed? This has never happened before."
"Brother, why don't you take Ying with you? I can do it at home by myself, and Sasahiri is here, so don't worry." Raiden Zhen smiled gently.
Mo Ran pondered for a moment and said, "We can't always let you stay at home. Since Ying wants to go out, let's go together. It's been a long time since we went out together."
Raiden looked in the direction of Inazuma, thought for a while, and then nodded and said, "Brother, I can't refuse your invitation."
"I will definitely ensure the safety of both of you!" Sasayuri stood up and followed the crowd.
"There's no need to say that. Although Sasayuri is a relative, you are also our friend. Friends should be on an equal footing." Raiden Shin said, turning around.
"I understand." Although Sasayuri didn't say yes, from the tone of her voice, she felt there was no difference.
Lei Dianzhen smiled sweetly, like a blooming snow-white orchid. She was dressed in a white dress that was whiter than snow. Her extremely gentle personality made people want to rely on her.
Lei Dianying, dressed in black, jumped to the ground. The purple hem of her clothes swayed, and the pigtails behind her head also swayed with the hair. This was the hairstyle that Ying Chan had asked Mo Ran to comb for her before.
The clothes worn by the two were also modified based on the style of Mo Ran's black dress, with the main changes being the lines, collars and cuffs. Don't underestimate these minor changes, the actual clothes that were cut out were very different.
"Ying, have you decided where to go?" Lei Dianzhen bent down slightly and asked softly.
"The Guardian Forest!" Lei Dianying blurted out.
Sasa Yuri's eyelids jumped, and she thought to herself, could it be that this little ancestor wanted to go to the land of the demons, burn, kill, plunder, bully women and men, and then leave a bad reputation?
It's no wonder he thought so, because Lei Dianying's style of doing things is to do whatever he wants. Unless Mo Ran and Lei Dianzhen order him not to do anything, he can do whatever he wants.
Go to the sea to wash your feet and kick out huge waves. There was originally a demon god on the Ba Niang Island. After being shadowed, he was killed with three punches. From time to time, there would be lightning and thunder on the sea. Although it did not endanger human lives, it was also very scary...
Thinking about all the things that happened over the past hundred years, Sasaryuri couldn't help but admire himself. How could he have the courage and strength to take this little ancestor out? Even if he had nine lives, it would not be enough for him to die.
The three people beside him were unaware of the turbulent waves in the heart of this young talent from the Tengu clan, but the direction of the trip had already been decided.
"Okay, let's go to the Guardian Forest." Mo Ran nodded.
"Hehe, thank you brother!" Lei Dianying took advantage of the situation and looking at the pretty face full of smiles, Mo Ran really couldn't bear to hit her.
Although the demon's body could be hit a few times without him using his strength, he had raised it for more than a hundred years after all. Even if he raised a pig, he would develop feelings for it, let alone a living, cute demon.
But he couldn't bear to beat him, so he decided to teach him a lesson. Mo Ran bent his fingers and knocked on Lei Dianying's head, making a crisp sound.
"Ouch!" Lei Dianying covered his head, looked at Mo Ran pitifully, and said in a muffled voice: "Did Ying do something wrong again? Why did brother treat Ying like this? Ying is so sad!"
Mo Ran rolled his eyes at her helplessly and asked in confusion: "Where did you learn all this nonsense? Don't use it in the future."
"Oh." Lei Dianying, who was able to control his movements, put down his hands and continued, "Some time ago, I saw someone do this to the person next to her. I thought it was very effective, so I used it!"
Mo Ran remained silent. Could it be that such a thing already existed in this era? Could it be that it was passed down from ancestors? That was too terrifying.
"Ying, please speak normally next time. The way you looked just now... haha, not as good as when you're acting like a spoiled child!" Lei Dian really couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Mo Ran nodded in agreement. He had to tell Lei Dianying what she shouldn't do, because she might not remember it.
Sasa Yuri, who was standing aside, got goose bumps all over her body and felt like her bones were being tickled. She felt uncomfortable all over. When she heard their advice, she thought to herself that they were right.
"I got it. Let's go!" Lei Dianying clasped his arms and kicked the pair of wooden clogs that he had asked Mo Ran to make for him. He then turned into a ray of lightning and flashed away.
Mo Ran took a step towards the sky and walked slowly towards the north, covering a distance of dozens of feet with each step.
Raiden Shin controlled the lightning, forming a purple thundercloud, and stepped on it to chase the two people in front of him. The wings that had been hidden behind Tengu Sasayuri appeared, and she flapped her wings and flew away.
The beach north of Inazuma Castle. Walk north along the beach until you come to a dense and strange jungle on the side. The sunlight cannot shine in at all, not because of the trees, but because of an inexplicable strange force.
Naturally, several people recognized this power, which was demonic power. However, in Mo Ran's understanding, there was another power that was not much different, which was immortal power.
The manifestations of the two powers are not much different, but the feelings they give people are very different. Immortal power can be cultivated by people, or introduced into other tools, such as talismans.
But demonic power is not allowed, and it is harmful to humans, especially women, whose constitutions are inherently yin. If they are exposed to the demonic power for a long time, they will die.
To put it most intuitively, immortal power is to humans like the rising sun when snow is falling all over the place, warm and gentle.
The demon's power is to lower the temperature endlessly when a person is half frozen to death. However, this demon is not a being that eats raw meat and drinks blood and kills anyone it sees.
Therefore, a power conflict does not mean anything. At least at present, there has been no incident of fighting between monsters and humans in Inazuma.
Less than a few dozen steps into the guarded forest, Mo Ran could feel more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him, as if they were looking at a piece of food.
After all, this was Mo Ran's first time in the Guardian Forest, and he did not reveal his aura, so of course he would be noticed. However, because there were two demon gods and a tengu traveling with him, no monster dared to jump out and cause trouble.
Lei Diandian always walked at the front of the team, looking left and right from time to time, as if looking for something. Such actions naturally could not escape the attention of the extremely clever Lei Dianzhen and the cunning Mo Ran behind him.
"Ying, where are you taking us?" Lei Dianzhen asked with a smile, closing his eyes slightly.
Lei Dianying was stunned by the question, and without turning his head, he said directly: "A... a very fun place, we are almost there!"
Sasayuri looked at the direction he was walking and opened his mouth slightly, but he felt a strong force of thunder, as if as soon as he opened his mouth, the powerful thunder would come down and make him bleed here.
It wasn't just Sasa Yuri who noticed this, but Mo Ran and Lei Dian Zhen also looked at each other and just smiled without saying anything.
There are only two possibilities for this matter. Either Lei Dianying prepared some surprise for them, or he brought them here under bewitching and threat.
After walking for a while, they came to an open space, surrounded by fox-like statues that were carved to look lifelike and vivid.
"We're here! This is the place!" Lei Dianying shouted very loudly, as if he was afraid that no one could hear him.
"Here?" Mo Ran's nose twitched slightly. There was an indescribable smell that rushed into his nasal cavity and went straight to the top of his head, overwhelming him.
His body did not move, but the element of wind spread out, blowing all the smells back to their source and forming a wind field, trapping the monsters hidden in it.
Lei Dianying was delighted when he saw this, his eyes full of smiles, and he murmured softly: "You deserved it for trying to harm me!"
Naturally, these words could not escape the ears of the three people beside him.
Mo Ran put his hands together in his sleeves, narrowed his eyes and said: "Ying has something wrong, but he still hides it from us. What a good child!"
"Haha, that's right, Ying, why don't you introduce your new friend to your sister, brother, and Sasalis?" Raiden Zhen put his hands on his sister's shoulders, smiling gently, but a little scary.
Lei Dianying's eyes were evasive, hesitating inwardly, and he said, "Ah, this... that, the imprisoned fox is called Hu Zhaigong."
