After bidding farewell to Jujo Shigekuni and Mr. Sima, Li Xuehao left Inari Shrine alone. With the God-Eating Insect in his hand, he only needs to find the person who has a connection with the God-eating Insect. As for the Earth Spider Bear, I believe that as long as he finds that person, he should be able to find out the whereabouts of the Earth Spider Bear.

Although he was unfamiliar with some places in Kyoto, he was not traveling to some famous tourist attractions and did not need a tour guide to introduce him. As long as he sensed the presence of that person, just like the GPS navigation, he would follow the address on the "navigation" and finally find the place. That's it.

From the induction, I learned that that person had been staying in one place and never left.

More than half an hour later, Li Xuehao walked into a shopping street. The shopping street was very busy, and there was a translucent ceiling above his head. This reminded him of the famous street in Kyoto, Teramachi Street, which Midori Sawai had introduced to him before.

According to Sawai Midori, Teramachi Dori is the favorite shopping street for students in Kyoto to gather because there are many fashion stores, fast food restaurants, and department stores. It is a place frequented by many high school students and college students. At the same time, there are many shops selling specialty products. You can buy specialties such as food, daily necessities, and toys here.

The last time he came to Kyoto City, Midori Sawai planned to take him shopping here, but he didn't come because he was pressed for time.

This time, I had the opportunity to go shopping alone. Unfortunately, Midori Sawai was in class, otherwise he could have asked her to come with him and find someone to go shopping with.

Walking out of Teramachi Dori, which has a section with a translucent ceiling, there are more and more shops on both sides, including traditional fruit shops, bookstores, antique shops, teahouses, and even many Japanese-style inns.

Not long after, Li Xuehao stopped in front of a bookstore, and the person he sensed was inside.

This is an ancient bookstore. It is not an ancient bookstore in the general sense, but a bookstore that specializes in buying and selling ancient books and prints. There are four Chinese characters for "三月书堂" written on the door, and on the left there are also hanging "ancient books, ukiyo-e, "Buy at a high price" and other words. Ancient books refer to ancient books, while ukiyo-e refers to prints.

Printmaking is a picture carved or printed on wood, stone, hemp glue, etc. using a knife or chemicals.

Through the transparent glass wall, you can see three rows of long bookshelves inside, and both sides of the wall are covered with exquisite prints.

There are many guests inside, most of them looking at the prints on the bookshelf, and some admiring the paintings on the wall.

Li Xuehao pushed open the glass door and walked in. He glanced briefly and saw that the person he sensed did not appear in the store, but behind the small door at the end of the store, which should be the private space for the store manager to rest. .

Of course he wouldn't just barge in. He was already at the place anyway, and as long as he was blocking the outside, the man couldn't escape. What interested him instead was the manager of the bookstore.

The store manager is an old man in his 60s or 70s. He is short in stature, perhaps less than 1.5 meters tall. He wears a traditional kimono and looks kind-hearted. He patiently answers each customer's inquiries.

However, this is not a charitable old man, he has killed people! Li Xuehao noticed a faint smell of blood from his body, which was almost unnoticeable. Maybe it was because it was a long time ago when he killed someone, maybe more than twenty years ago, so the smell of blood was so light that he could hardly detect it. arrive.

Moreover, he also has a touch of Onmyoji's power, but it is pitiful. There is no evil energy coming from his body, which means that he does not have his own shikigami.

At most, this is just an old man who has a few more tricks than ordinary people. He is about to die. Maybe a strong man can easily deal with him, of course when he is unprepared.

"Guest, do you need anything?" After answering a customer's question, the store manager seemed to notice the youngest customer in the store.

Li Xuehao didn't realize this. The guests around him were either elderly people or adults in their twenties and thirties, and there were absolutely no young people like him.

"I just want to take a look." Li Xuehao said casually, pretending to look at the prints on the wall, but after taking a look, he felt weird.

Because the Japanese prints on the wall are very special. They are basically a man and a woman, and they are not wearing clothes, or they are wearing clothes, but their most private parts are exposed.

These are all—erotic paintings!

Li Xuehao felt that he had said something he shouldn't have said. Faced with these erotic paintings, he actually said that he could just look at them?

The store manager's eyes also became strange, and his words were ambiguous and suspicious: "It is rare for a customer to be interested in ukiyo-e at this age."

Li Xuehao didn't feel embarrassed because of the weirdness and sarcasm in his words. He just felt secretly that he didn't understand that he had said stupid things before. At the same time, he had noticed the strange looks from many people around him. A teenage boy came to such a point. Something is indeed wrong somewhere.

However, he didn't pay attention to these, but said with a natural expression: "Manager, do you have any ukiyo-e paintings from the Ming Dynasty in China?"

"Chinese Ukiyo-e?" The store manager was slightly startled, probably because he didn't expect the young man to be calm and composed, but then his expression became even more ambiguous, "Yes, customer, do you need it?"

"Yes." Li Xuehao nodded, just asking casually, and it turned out to be true. Of course, it is impossible for the prints handed down from the Ming Dynasty to be the products of modern printing.

The store manager returned to the counter, took out a print about one foot wide and two feet long, and then came over: "Guest, this is an ukiyo-e from the Ming Dynasty in China. It is the work of the great painter Tang Bohu."

He could actually say Tang Bohu's name. Although it was a bit weird to say it in Japanese-Chinese, Li Xuehao still understood it.

Of course Tang Bohu's paintings were famous, and he also wanted to see what kind of paintings they were.

But when the store manager showed it to him, his brows couldn't help but jump.

There is no doubt that Tang Bohu's works are vivid, but the man and woman in the painting are doing that kind of thing, and the intercourse between the two is very clear, which is more beautiful than the prints on the wall he just saw.

He suddenly understood why the store manager's expression became even more ambiguous when he heard that he wanted a Ming Dynasty print.

"We want this Ukiyo-e, please wrap it up. Husband, why didn't you wait for me before you came in alone?" A pleasant female voice suddenly sounded next to her, and then a slender snow-white hand held her. His arms pressed his body close to each other in a very intimate posture.
