live with conscience

Chapter 149

Not human?

Not a monster either?

Natsume Takashi, who didn't believe it at all, spent every day being slapped in the face by himself.

The Fujiwara and his wife discovered that Takashi Natsume, who is usually very restrained, also fell in love with sports under Lin Lan's instigation (instigation).

The two often jog around the area in the morning and evening together.

And Natsume Takashi also looks healthier and more energetic day by day, and he feels happier in his heart.

Natsume Takashi's classmates and friends also began to find that Takashi-kun is getting more practical day by day.

In the past, I always felt that his sense of alienation like a floating fairy has been removed a lot at once, and he has become more and more solid?

No, is it true?

not right either...

My friends didn't know how to describe it, but Nishimura summed up everyone's feelings in one sentence: "Natsume-kun used to look like us, walking on his feet, but when he looked closely, he always seemed to be floating. The heels didn't touch the ground, and now it looks like we are walking on our feet! This...couldn't be because of love! Natsume...is it Lin-chan?"

In the last sentence, Nishimura met everyone, including Natsume, with blank eyes.

Natsume Takashi explained: "Probably because my body looked too weak before, but recently I have been obsessed with sports and my body has become stronger!"

After finishing speaking, he bent his arms in a manly manner.

Everyone: ...

Try to hold back!

Can't stand it anymore...

"Puff...hahahaha...just kidding, it hasn't changed at all, it's all...hahaha"

Everyone couldn't bear to say something about bean sprouts.

Natsume was a little angry at first, and then laughed with everyone.

He himself felt incredible.

"Our family is born to be able to grasp and comprehend the rules of the world. The pursuit of life is to use the rules of the world for me. I don't know which rules are more suitable for you, so let's try one by one. Anyway, the commonly used rules are The power of the five elements rule."

"The power of the five elements rules is divided into the big five elements and the small five elements according to the composition. The big five elements are commonly known as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which refer to the five regular elements that make up the world, while the small five elements are water, fire, earth, wind and thunder, derived from the world. The most powerful attack rule power."

"There are two ways to comprehend, one is to settle the mind, comprehend the world, and experience it slowly. This kind of comprehension and timing is also slower. The other is to use one's physical energy to the extreme, and then experience it. I think the second one is easier to use, you think so too, Kishi-kun~"

Lin Lan's words were very mysterious and unreliable, but she gave him a string of beads with the power of rules that ordinary people couldn't see, and a very simple training method.

He was dubious, and according to the cultivation method she said, when he was exhausted from running every day, he put the inch bead on his forehead, and began to understand the regular power bead she gave him.

At first, he thought that this kind of mysterious way of cultivation would be very difficult. After all, understanding and so on usually depends on talent.

However, unexpectedly, for him, it was inexplicably very simple.

Natsume Takashi spread out his hands, and now his two hands, the palms and the backs of his hands, have five colorful bead patterns. On the beads, the representative fonts belonging to the elements are already looming.

The palm of the hand is gold, wood, water, fire, and earth of the big five elements, and the back of the hand is the water, fire, earth, wind and thunder of the small five elements.

According to Lin Lan, this is a sign that he has realized and mastered these rules!

Indeed, Natsume Takashi felt that he really felt reborn.

With his eyes closed, he could feel the flow of the elements of heaven and earth. This experience was very wonderful. He had a feeling that something that belonged to him had finally returned to him, and everything was no longer scary.

Xi Cun and the others felt that he was at ease, but it was actually because he felt that he had a place in his heart, so he stopped hesitating.

With the mastery of the power of the rules, Natsume encountered fewer and fewer monsters who were malicious towards him. Except for the monsters who had to return the name of the friend account, most of the monsters respected him very much...run away!

Teacher Cat squinted her eyes full of pride and relief: "Idiot, you have such a terrifying power that is so exaggerated that you would normally want to run away when you see you... But, as expected of Reiko's grandson, Natsume, your talent is really good, you really are I have good eyesight!"

What surprised Natsume Takashi the most was that neither Mr. Kitty nor Mr. Natori could see the mark on his hand.

He began to believe that what Lin Lan said was actually that he and she were of the same kind.

Lin Lan was also taken aback by Natsume Takashi-kun's understanding.

Counting your fingers, it took Gui Zhijun less than two months from the beginning of understanding to the present mastery.

As a master, I am a little short of breath!

Fortunately, he is not very proficient in controlling the power of rules, and still needs her guidance, otherwise, Lin Lan would feel like being slapped in the face by a genius apprentice.

Didn't it mean that it takes a very long time for the spirit to comprehend the power of rules?

He said that he didn't fully grasp it until he became an adult, and that even a very talented chieftain had used it for almost 1000 years in the Nine Realms to master the power of the five elements.

Could it be that what Qiu said was a lie?

Otherwise, is Qiu and Chief's qualifications relatively poor?

People don't talk about it, and the spirit probably does the same.

Aunt Tazi informed Lin Lan angrily during dinner: "That rascal said that he would come back here to meet Xiaolan sauce in two weeks. I...I really don't want him to come in at all!"

Lin Lan is just a couple who habitually complain about those two lovers who hand out dog food all day long, and they are coming back soon.

Come back as soon as you come back, in order to surprise them, Lin Lan set up an enchantment, and made great efforts to train Natsume to death...

Didn't it mean that the rules of heaven and earth cannot be used indiscriminately in the plane? Then she set up a barrier connecting her own space, and fed all the excess power to the space!

Although there is no plan to upgrade the space, it is also possible to accumulate energy.

She didn't believe it, she couldn't train a perfect apprentice.

Let the two spirits who show off their love all day long give a slap.

Ok……

It was not Lin Lan who trained Natsume Takashi. Her power, even in the enchantment, would have a slight impact on the plane. Therefore, it was Xiaogu's low-allocation body who stayed in the portable space...

In order not to scare the couple, Lin Lan had already put Xiaogu in the portable space to sleep.

Watching Natsume, who is not proficient in the power of rules every day, being chased around the entire barrier by Xiaogu's low-level avatar, she felt very happy while watching, and talked about Natsume's ever-increasing rule power to filter and earn space.

Lin Lan, who let herself go, felt more and more that her emotions and thoughts had changed so much that Ling was shocked. Could it be that Ling also had a rebellious period in the second year?

Natsume Takashi was blown away by Xiaogu's wings again, and he was too tired to get up. After resting for a while, he raised his head: "Xiaolan, why do I have to undergo such high-intensity training?"

Indeed, after mastering the power of the rules taught by Xiaolan, the number of times he encountered malicious harassment from monsters was infinitely close to zero. However, after no monster harassment, he had to accept Xiaolan's devil who didn't know what was suddenly stimulated every day. style training!

Although he also felt that this kind of training team would allow him to master the power of rules faster, but it was so painful and tiring...

That shikigami monster that Xiaolan found from no one knows where, the power is really terrifying!

Lin Lan hugged the cat teacher and looked up at the sky with some guilt and replied: "Heaven rewards hard work, you have such a good talent, how can you lose to laziness?"

Takashi Natsume: ...

But it doesn't need to be this level!

Natsume saw that he didn't have a good skin on his body, and recalled the days when he blushed when he saw Xiaolan, and felt that he was really too simple.

This girl is too violent.

Natsume insisted and asked: "How much training do you need...to pass?"

When will this day end?

Lin Lan raised her hand, and gave him Yurun and Wuqi Lianbo: "When you can hide and eliminate all the obvious five-element imprints on your body, you will pass, let's continue!"

No matter how many times he saw Xiaolan's ability to completely recover his body, he was shocked. Although his body recovered, he still couldn't recover from the terrible embarrassment and pain just now: "Why?"

I am subject to such a terrible training!

Lin Lan scratched Teacher Cat's chubby chin: "The appearance of the imprint just means that you have comprehended the rules of the five elements, and the disappearance of the imprint means that you have truly controlled the power. Do you understand this explanation? I am very Be optimistic about your talent..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the small bone that communicated with her soul began to move again, and the five elements brought by the wings were thrown towards Natsume Takashi who was unwilling to get up without any discount.

"Wait a minute...I haven't rested enough...Xiao Lan!"

The protest was ineffective, and Natsume ushered in a more intensive attack from Xiaogu.

Under Lin Lan's high-pressure training day and night, Natsume Takashi finally erased all the marks on his body the day before Qiu and Chief returned.

When all the imprints in his hands disappeared, Natsume was so happy that he couldn't help but hugged Mr. Cat and cried.

This kind of childish behavior made him feel very ashamed afterwards.

Hiding in the grass, after changing into the sportswear that Lin Lan had prepared for him, he burned the damaged one on his own. These days, he was already used to it.

"Lin Lan, how many sets of these clothes have you hidden! Where are you hiding them?"

After completing the task, Natsume relaxed, and when he walked home, he was still curious about Lin Lan's strangeness.

"Since you have this ability, why did you ask someone to send you a bag when I met you?"

The successful training of Natsume Takashi seems to have touched a certain emotional point of Lin Lan. After achieving her goal, she felt that her whole spirit suddenly calmed down, and she no longer felt restless and tyrannical. kind of...

Wow wow feeling!

What the hell have you done! !

No matter what, you have to cover up this embarrassing thing: "There is a human world there, and surveillance is everywhere. Would a normal person make an extra big bag out of thin air?"

"I'm just in the human world, doing what I want and what humans can do."

Therefore, she usually does not do things that are beyond the scope of normal people.

Xiamu feels that Xiaolan seems to have changed again, but the topic has already been opened, and he still asks the question that he has held back for a long time: "Is my grandfather... also a 'person' like you?"

"Of course!" Lin Lan looked at the three sacrificial blessings on Natsume's body, and when he fully controlled the power of the five elements, they all converged into his body. At this time, he, like her who had traveled to the plane, As long as he does not use the power of rules, he is a complete human being. In addition, his body and soul are exactly the same. It is really difficult to see that he is actually a spirit: "Our family usually possesses creatures on top of them. Traveling through time and space, your grandfather probably stayed there willingly because of your grandmother! He absolutely loves your grandmother very much!"

It is because of your willingness that you exist.

But: "Your grandmother was an amazing human being too!"

Natsume, who hadn't digested the new information about his grandfather, was surprised: "Why do you say that?"

Lin Lan smiled: "Because of blessing, without certain xinxing ability, this kind of blessing technique cannot be performed."

In other words, human beings with less meritorious beliefs cannot meet the standard of becoming a spirit. Although Natsume Takashi's grandmother has not yet fully reached the level of being able to transcend the plane, but dominating the plane, absolutely There is no problem.

However, maybe at the beginning, he hadn't reached the standard of spirit, and later...

After accepting Natsume's grandfather's sacrifice, he also achieved it.

"As for Natsume, you carry the triple most sincere blessings from your grandfather, grandmother, and your mother."

Using the blessing of the life sacrifice of the upper spirit: "The first time I saw you, I was almost frightened by the light of their blessings for you! Mr. Guizhi is a very, very lucky and happy person."

After Lin Lan sighed, she realized that Natsume, who was walking side by side, had actually stopped.

Turning his head, he found that Natsume's eyes were wide open in surprise, weeping silently.

After being discovered by Lin Lan, she wiped away her tears in embarrassment, but the tears seemed uncontrollable, and wiped more and more: "What you said... is... er... Really? I don't know... Uh... ...Why, after hearing you say..., I really want to cry...Thank you...and sorry."

With Natsume in this state, Lin Lan couldn't say the cruel words that followed.

The only thing I can do is, go forward and give him a hug.

Natsume was stunned for a moment, then hugged Lin Lan back, and continued to cry in a low voice on the thin shoulders that were slightly lower than him.

It's time for the galaxy to clear up again, Natsume felt light all over, and when he was about to get home, he suddenly remembered: "Tomorrow is your adoptive father coming... His real identity is your father? "

Now it's Lin Lan's turn to be upset: "No...they are just fellow clansmen traveling together! Mr. Guizhi!"

Natsume was taken aback by her sudden serious expression: "Huh?"

"Please don't let him find out that you are also a matter of the same clan!" Lin Lan's idea is to slap her face, but now she feels stupid. If Qiu and Chief find out what stupid things she has done, she will be laughed at by them for a long time: "Let's not let them know that I taught you the power of rules!"

Well, although none of them are evil spirits, they will never laugh, but in private, it is hard to say in their hearts!

"Ok!"

Over the past few days, Lin Lan's heavy-handed training has gained momentum, and Natsume subconsciously agreed.

but……

"them?"

The next day, Natsume Takashi knew what they meant.

The person who came was a middle-aged handsome man in a formal suit. His aura was even stronger than the Mr. Chang he had seen, but his soul was just a young man in his 20s. Natsume looked very disobedient.

What shocked Natsume the most was the spirit behind the beautiful woman lying on his shoulders...

Ok……

There are no feet, and they come out of an accessory around his waist.

At this time, he was waving to Lin Lan who came down from the second floor: "Xiao Lan, we are back. Are you enjoying yourself in this plane?"

Lin Lan yawned, completely ignoring the chief's joke, and first greeted the Fujiwara couple, who were not looking very bright: "Good morning, uncle, aunt."

Natsume might not understand, but Lin Lan could clearly see the teasing in her eyes.

Apparently, she knew what Lin Lan had done about the rebellious girl students playing truant.

For their loving couple, there is only: "Yo~ are you back?"

Toko Fujiwara: "Yuichiro, come here so I can talk to you! You have something to do, go to work first, he has me and Kishi-kun to say hello!"

So, what was supposed to be a happy meeting turned into Aunt Tazi's serious-faced training meeting.

However, the gentle Aunt Tazi still gave Yuichiro (Qiu) face, instead of scolding him in front of Lin Lan and Natsume Takashi, she asked Lin Lan and Natsume to have breakfast in the dining room, and she and Yuichiro (Qiu) arrived Talk inside.

Lin Lan, gloating over misfortune, took Natsume Takashi to have breakfast together, ignoring Qiu's eyes begging for help.

It's just that Lin Lan believed in Qiu's spiritual quality too much. She had just put down her job when Aunt Tazi's voice came faintly from the cubicle, and Qiu and Chief appeared in the chairs in front of her and sat down.

Of course, there was Natsume Takashi who suddenly passed out and lay on the table.

If Lin Lan hadn't quickly moved the breakfast in front of Natsume, he would have been lying on the breakfast plate.

Ok……

Although Natsume has mastered the power of rules, it is still difficult to resist a spirit of his strength with a human minor body.

However, Qiu's method had a short-term effect on him and did not last long.

So Lin Lan conveniently and secretly created another layer of enchantment around Natsume that none of them could notice.

Lin Lan was neither surprised nor surprised that Qiu didn't listen to Aunt Tazi's lecture seriously.

In fact, Lin Lan already knew their attitude towards human beings in the Nine Realms.

Even after Qiu's epiphany, the attitude towards the creatures of the plane has improved a lot, but it is absolutely still not possible to treat human beings as equal existences like spirits.

"Substitution, Illusion... You guys are doing as the Romans do!" I understand, but Lin Lan, who should be sarcastic, still wants to be sarcastic: "Why don't you go to the world of Erling? Come back to see me, a companion who was abandoned by you, when you have time. ?”

Chief covered his face and smiled shyly.

Qiu, however, was a little annoyed: "No...we came to this plane for business! Not exactly... let's not talk about this! We came back because we have something to ask for your help."

"Help?" Lin Lan said dispensable, "Tell me?"

When Qiu said it, he was still a little embarrassed: "At first we didn't intend to make things difficult for you, but we have searched all over this plane, but we couldn't find the spirit we were looking for, so we had to ask you, if there is any There is no way to help us, of course, we will pay enough afterwards!"

"Looking for the spirit?" Lin Lan felt a little puzzled: "I remember seeing the monument of the plane before entering the plane. There is nothing else in this plane... um... the adult spirit is here!"

Could it be: "There are underage spirits like me here?"

Qiu rolled his eyes: "Believe me, those who walk around underage will definitely not be the spirits of our clan, the spirits of our clan are the most obedient!"

Without even thinking about it, Lin Lan shifted her gaze to the chief behind him, her eyes fully expressing her meaning.

The one behind you is the spirit of the same family who directly gave up the status of the supporting spirit and wants to be with you!

What you said is a joke!

Sure enough, I successfully saw Qiu's face flushed red: "Chief...it's none of her business, it's my reason, I don't want to stay on the Nine Realms for her, so, from the beginning, I never planned Heji has any relationship other than teacher-student, if it wasn't for her... I don't even know, so she is willing to do this for me."

Chief patted Fear Qiu's shoulder understandingly: "I understand, if Xiaolan's appearance hadn't interrupted the practice of the plane, Qiu probably would hate me to death now... Qiu probably has always lost my feelings for him. , treat it as a child's play..."

Qiu: ...

Suddenly there is nothing to say.

"Ahem..." As a last resort, Qiu could only forcibly change the subject: "Actually, our Dao Spirit Clan has always lived in a place called the Valley of Spirits. The special talent, so the passing spirits like to come to us to find the latest information about the plane."

"You have seen our talent last time. It can connect in space between the same race. However, this ability can only be used in the plane. In the chaos, it can only be used to transmit information at most."

"When our family grows up, we will first choose an ancestor's route, and pass the latest information on the plane above the route to the Valley of Spirituality before moving on."

"I decided on this plane temporarily, because the elders received news that a member of our clan with great talent fell in love with a human being with abilities close to the spirit on this plane, and he sacrificed everything to killed that human!"

"Oh..." Lin Lan said, "What's the problem?"

Qiu looked serious: "But the elder told me that the rule symbol belonging to that person, after he sacrificed, there was a transformation from a young spirit to an adult spirit, and now it has become a young spirit again."

Lin Lan almost couldn't hold back for a moment, and wanted to turn her head to Natsume who had woken up but was still pretending to be unconscious.

This Qiu is really, always doing the worst thing at the worst time.

She asked coldly: "And then? What does this represent!"

Qiu blinked, and seemed to be curious why Lin Lan would ask such a question: "This obviously means that the human beings he sacrificed have his blood, and his rule attributes are being passed on in the form of living beings."

Lin Lan sat upright: "So, what do you want to do!"

Qiu said as a matter of course: "Of course it is to find the descendants of human beings for him to sacrifice, and then all bridges will return to bridges, and roads will return to roads."

"Ling is already the most beloved creature in the world. A spirit can fall in love with any creature desperately, and can sacrifice everything for the beloved spirit! However, it is absolutely not allowed to sacrifice for wanting to have offspring! Even if it is Everything was bought by him through sacrifice, but the spirit that was born through plundering is a heresy that is not allowed by the rules and must be destroyed."

Lin Lan: ...
