Everything was normal during the day.
The whole of Kyoto is not very big, and Su Ziyu basically covered it in two days.
He deliberately passed by Ampei Qingming's mansion today. The clover emblem on his body vibrated many times before he got close. He could feel a special barrier nearby and could not sense the situation inside. Onmyoji has the ability to control shikigami, and most of these shikigami are demons and ghosts. The movement of the clover emblem near here is the most obvious. He also saw a little ghost flashing past, which looked a bit like a Zashiki Warashi.
Night falls.
Su Ziyu changed into black clothes and entered the ghost capital again.
"Master Su!"
A night patrolman dressed as a warrior appeared not far away. When he saw Su Ziyu, he quickly flew over and said respectfully: "The judge asked you to guard Suzaku Avenue tonight!"
"I know." Su Ziyu nodded casually.
Of course, he didn't really come here to be a ghost messenger, but he didn't have any clues yet, so he could only explore the situation in Hades before making any plans.
The two most important buildings on Suzaku Avenue are the Suzaku Gate and the Rashomon Gate. This is where demons and ghosts are most active. But I don’t know why the Suzaku Avenue is a little quiet tonight. Su Ziyu just walked around and noticed the floating ghosts here. There were far fewer will-o'-the-wisps than yesterday.
"Do they know I'm coming? Are they all hiding?" Su Ziyu frowned and looked around, got up and walked towards Rashomon.
The most important thing in Hades at present is to guard Rashomon and prevent other ghosts from entering the Yang world through Rashomon.
"Run!"
"The ghost is coming soon!"
A black shadow floated across Suzaku Avenue, accompanied by heavy footsteps and a violent running sound.
Su Ziyu only saw a flash of smoke passing by the corner of the street in the distance. He didn't know what it was. It was very fast. He ran away before he came over.
"Meow!"
"You arrived so early!" The figure of the nine-tailed cat fell from the sky and landed on a roof.
She looked around strangely, scratched her head and said, "Why are there so few ghosts tonight?"
have no idea.
Maybe I scared him away.
Su Ziyu was about to speak, but suddenly he frowned and turned to look behind him.
There was a staggering sound of footsteps.
Then, a murmuring sound came.
When Su Ziyu turned his head, he saw a drunk man appearing out of thin air behind him. He looked like a warrior, wearing a weapon on his waist, and holding a wine bottle in his hand. He looked drunk, and on one side While drinking, he staggered forward. After walking a few steps, he leaned against the wall. He looked around with drunken eyes and said, "Huh? Where are the people? Why are they all gone?"
This is a human being.
Rather, it is a human soul.
"Don't people in Kyoto light up lights at night? Why is it so dark all around?" The drunkard picked up the wine bottle and took a deep breath, then stood up unsteadily.
A mint-like smell came.
The nine-tailed cat on the roof quietly landed next to Su Ziyu and whispered: "Why is there a living soul here?"
The living soul refers to the soul of a living person.
The souls of the dead are ghosts.
"I don't know. He appeared suddenly." Su Ziyu looked around and found that some phantoms were about to move in the shadows. Those were ghosts with little sanity. For them, the souls of living people were extremely precious. As long as they ate The lost soul may invade the corpse of a living person. This is the simplest way to resurrect the soul through corpse.
"Hello!"
"Is there anyone? Come and have a drink with me! Isn't there anyone alive?" The drunk man fell to the ground and shouted a little dissatisfied.
He didn't realize that he had left his body.
The drunkard thought he was in Kyoto, but he didn't expect that he had entered the underworld.
"really weird!"
"Can't even see a ghost!" The drunkard not far away opened a door and saw nothing, but at this moment the light of a lantern came, followed by a man carrying a The lantern figure came out of the alley.
It seemed to have seen the drunk man in front of it, with a hint of surprise in its eyes, and walked over cautiously.
"Finally there is a living person!"
"Do you know if there is any liquor sold nearby?" the drunkard staggered over and asked.
The next second.
A horrified shout came, and the drunk man fell to the ground in fright, turned around and ran back like crazy. Behind him, a lantern floated in the air out of thin air, followed by a ghost figure with a separated head.
His state is somewhat similar to that of clairvoyance. When he sees a ghost, the ghost also sees him.
This scream alarmed many ghosts, and shadows kept crawling out of the darkness. Their desire for a living soul finally overcame their fear, and they were trying to eat this living soul.
"Ghost... ghost!... There is a ghost!..." The drunk man seemed to be frightened and woke up, and ran outside in a mess.
It's time to deal with it.
Su Ziyu still didn't know why a living soul suddenly appeared in the ghost capital. He casually pulled out the meteorite from his waist, and then faced the ghosts coming out of the darkness. These were all unorthodox. As a kid, some people ran away after Su Ziyu appeared, and the remaining ones who didn't know how to escape were killed by him in three strokes and divided by two.
He didn't gain any source of power, but the story Qing Xingdeng gave him sucked some weird Yin Qi from those brats.
— "Lantern Ghost."
— "Parasite soul."
— "Tombfire."
The three kinds of imps recorded in Hyakumonogatari seemed to come to life at this moment. They looked as lifelike as living creatures, and the will-o'-the-wisps floating nearby were also eaten by the book.
Soul-binding trait
Su Ziyu gradually approached the drunk man, who had fainted from fright.
"What should I do with this living soul?" The Nine-Life Cat landed next to Su Ziyu. She held a will-o'-the-wisp in her hand and kneaded it like dough, raising her head and asking.
Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Let's put it in a safe place first."
The soul of a living person should not enter the underworld.
It seemed that he came here accidentally without even realizing it. This situation was very strange.
"etc!"
"He seems to be dying!" the Nine-Life Cat scratched its ears.
The living soul in front of him was gradually fading away, and then his soul floated directly up, turning into a burst of blue smoke and dissipating in front of his eyes.
"Is he scared to death?" Nine Lives Cat asked doubtfully.
Su Ziyu frowned and said, "That's not right. It seems like he was killed!"
Da da da.
There was a rush of footsteps, and then a woman wearing a bright red kimono came from the direction of Rashomon. She was the bone girl Su Ziyu had seen before. She shouted anxiously when she saw Su Ziyu. Said: "Master Su!"
"A ghost has entered the Yang world!"
"Your Majesty, please hurry over."
What
Have the ghosts here gone to the Yangshi? No wonder there are so few ghosts on Suzaku Avenue tonight.
At this time, the fastest way to enter the Yangshi is Rashomon. Su Ziyu followed the Nine-Ming Cat and quickly arrived near Rashomon. After passing through a strange barrier, a rising sky appeared in front of their eyes. The fire started.
Flames soaring into the sky are spreading near Suzaku Avenue.
In his ears, he could hear the shrill cries of other people, as well as the faint, strange laughter.
"Whoever kills the most ghosts tonight will win, how about it?" The Nine-Life Cat looked at the fires burning around her, her expression a little excited, her figure rose into the air and landed on the roof, and looked back at Su Ziyu road.
As a monster, she doesn't really care about these mortals.
"Okay." Su Ziyu nodded lightly, reached out and grabbed a tomb fire, squeezed it and it disappeared.
There was a corpse not far away, only half of the body was left, and the head seemed to have been eaten.
The clothes he wore were exactly the same as the living soul he saw at the beginning.
That is to say, this guy accidentally entered the ghost Kyoto, and when he entered the ghost Kyoto, some demons and ghosts also came to the Yangshi.
"Hundred Ghosts at Night?" Su Ziyu jumped and landed on the roof.
Nowadays, there are many will-o’-the-wisps floating around the entire Suzaku Avenue, and ghostly shadows appear and disappear in the darkness, bursts of shrill laughter, there are shrill screams and wailings everywhere, and houses are on fire. It collapsed, and there were many corpses beside the street. It seemed that these ghosts suddenly became extremely aggressive after arriving in the Yangshi.
A gust of wind blew.
A huge ghost head appeared in the darkness, probably three or four meters in diameter, with a pair of horns on its head, and two will-o'-the-wisps dancing in its empty eye sockets. It was roaring past on Suzaku Avenue with a maniacal laugh, and it would turn on anyone it saw. It opens a bloody mouth and can swallow a large living person in one bite.
"Contamination found!"
"Contamination found!"
Alarms sounded one after another.
Su Ziyu found that these ghosts seemed to have become a little different after entering the Yang world.
In the underworld, when Su Ziyu encountered these ghosts, the time and space monitor system did not give any prompts at all, but now he just glanced and heard two prompts.
- "Ghost Head!"
- "Walking into the Tao!"
A huge wheel is rolling towards the direction of Tsuchimikado. There is a ferocious face in the center of the wheel. When he sees a person, he opens his mouth and inhales, and then you can see a ray of soul flying out of the body of the living person. , and was eaten by it in the blink of an eye. The place where the wheel rolled over was a pile of corpses. Regardless of men, women, old or young, no one alive could escape its clutches.
It's unclear what the casualties were.
But there were not many living people nearby, and there were cold corpses everywhere.
— "Lightning strike!"
There was a thunder in the night sky, and with the crackling lightning falling, the ghost head that was devouring the living person was instantly evaporated, leaving only a black bead in place.
"Get 2 points of source power!"
Su Ziyu's figure fell from the sky, the meteorite sword turned into a stream of light, and the figure rushed directly into the fire.
"Get 1 point of source power!"
A huge ghost lantern that was setting fire was split in half by him, and then a bolt of lightning flew out from his palm, instantly scattering the ghosts in the lantern. After spending some divine points to strengthen his psychic power to LV6, Su Ziyu could finally use psychic lightning as a regular combat method.
Ordinary melee combat has little effect on ghosts, and the damage from meteors is not enough to kill them completely. On the contrary, psychic lightning is quite useful.
"Boundary! Guard!"
There were some other sounds of fighting in the darkness, and Su Ziyu suddenly heard a deep male voice, and then he saw an invisible barrier covering the entire Suzaku Avenue, and people dressed as Onmyoji appeared one after another. Nearby, the leader was a handsome middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties.
Ampere Seimei
It should be him! Other Onmyoji don't have such powerful magic!
At this time, Anbe Qingming should be in his sixties, but he still looked middle-aged. Behind him were several onmyojis and a woman wearing a fox-face mask. These onmyoji quickly cast spells to summon shikigami, and then surrounded them from three sides, heading straight for the rampaging wheel.
"The smell of monsters!"
At this time, Su Ziyu had already put on an invisibility cloak. Before he got close to the Onmyoji, he smelled the smell of monsters.
The one with the strongest smell was the woman wearing the fox mask.
The second one turned out to be Ampei Qingming!
The most famous onmyoji in Fuso smelled like a monster, and the monster aura on his body was almost comparable to that of the Guhuo bird he had seen before. However, in addition to the smell of monsters, Abe Qingming also had a human breath, but at this time, this human breath was completely covered up by the monster energy.
"According to legend, Abe Qingming's mother was a fox fairy named Kuzuye?"
"It can't be true, right?"
Abe Seimei's father was Abe Masacai, a junior nobleman of the Ozendafu-kun. It is said that he rescued a white fox from Eemon. This white fox was the fox spirit "Kudzuha" who had practiced for many years in the Shinta Forest of Izumi Province. Later, this fox fairy transformed into a human and fell in love with Anbei Yicai, and then gave birth to Ampei Qingming.
When Abe Seimei was five years old, he unexpectedly saw his mother's true form as a fox. Then Kuzuye abandoned the child and returned to the forest alone.
The most famous onmyoji in Fuso is actually a half-demon!
Su Ziyu has dealt with many monsters during this period. The smell of monsters is very easy to identify. There is indeed a smell of monsters on Ampei Qingming's body.
Who is the woman with the fox mask
His mother the fox fairy 'Kudzu Ye'
wrong.
This monster doesn't seem to be very strong. It can only summon some fox fire to attack. It doesn't look like a powerful monster.
Most of the people who ran out this time were evil spirits, the kind of unreliable ghosts.
With the help of these Onmyojis, the surrounding imps were quickly cleared away. At this moment, a sudden gust of wind whistled past, accompanied by harsh and shrill laughter, a figure with a pair of horns The red ghost face emerged from the flames and gradually turned into a humanoid appearance.
- "Prajna (Red)!"
