Finally something was gained.
Su Ziyu returned to his residence with satisfaction, preparing to leave for the Three Rivers Country tomorrow, starting with the mountain boy who seemed to be the weakest.
As for the other two monsters, the bride is also called the bride. It is a monster that has been legendary for hundreds of years. Its strength is probably much higher than that of the mountain boy, so it is probably not that easy to deal with. The last Kiyohime is a bit unusual. She is a monster in the second volume of Hyakumonogatari. She is not at the same level as the previous two.
Love becomes a devil.
The story of Kiyohime is quite poignant. It is a story of extreme love turning into extreme hatred. The ending is that Kiyohime turned into a monster and burned herself and the person she loved to death.
- "If you can't live together with the one you love, then let's die together."
Kiyohime would not take the initiative to harm anyone, but it is said that all the men who met her were burned to charcoal.
A big monster said to be the head of a human and the body of a snake (the body of a dragon).
The night passed quickly.
Su Ziyu slept until the sun rose before getting up. He had just woken up when the hotel proprietress waiting outside brought in the washing water.
"Guest. The tuna you asked for has been bought."
"It will be delivered to you in a moment." The hotel proprietress said softly, kneeling in front of her.
Su Ziyu was very generous here, paying the bills directly with gold. In the last world, he replenished his working capital a little, and he still had about a hundred kilograms of gold in his hand, if it weren't for the limited size of the different dimensions. , Su Ziyu can take away even more gold.
"Yeah. Got it." Su Ziyu simply washed his face and said.
There seemed to be new guests in the hotel. When Su Ziyu went out, he saw two businessmen. They were sitting in the corner eating. After seeing Su Ziyu, he quickly lowered his head. At this glance, it was a They dare not offend the noble man.
"Hey. Did you hear that?"
"Kyoto is haunted!" The traveler on the left lowered his voice: "It is said that even Abe Seimei-sama can't do anything about it."
"The entire Suzaku Avenue is now blocked."
The merchant on the right was shocked when he heard this and asked in a low voice: "Really? What should I do with this batch of goods?"
"Go sell it somewhere else." The businessman said cautiously: "It is said that many people died! After all, money is not as important as life. If your life is gone, why do you need so much money?"
"I heard that some princes and nobles fled Kyoto overnight."
"Now on Suzaku Avenue, it is said that you may encounter ghosts during the day!"
The situation in Kyoto has indeed worsened.
Su Ziyu was not surprised by this. After listening to the conversation of the two businessmen for a while, he got up and walked towards the backyard. He doesn't want to deal with matters in Kyoto for the time being. Su Ziyu's idea is to retreat behind the scenes and wait for things to develop. Maybe when the time comes, the mastermind behind the scenes will come out on his own.
Besides, Hades is still looking for him, leaving the aborigines here to deal with the mess.
"guest."
"This is plum wine brewed locally. I don't know if you like it." Two girls aged fourteen or fifteen came over with plates and said cautiously.
The innkeeper's wife found that yesterday's sake had not been touched, so she went to get some high-quality plum wine from elsewhere today.
He is a very careful person, no wonder the business here is good.
"Leave it here." Su Ziyu looked at the cakes and plum wine in front of him and smiled.
The wine was not bad.
It's much better than yesterday's sake, and it tastes a bit like the bayberry wine I brewed back home.
Just when Su Ziyu was about to have something to eat, a bald old man walked outside the hotel. He looked well-dressed and distinguished. He was wearing a black haori and a self-defense sword on his waist. He looked at He looked quite majestic. The old man walked into the hotel naturally. No one else in the front hall seemed to notice him. Even the hotel proprietress passed by him with food, but she didn't seem to notice at all and didn't greet the guests at all. the meaning of.
The old man was as casual as if he were at home. He didn't pay attention to other people, and went directly into the backyard, and then sat down in front of Su Ziyu.
He picked up the plum wine and poured himself a glass, then praised: "Good wine!"
"It's been a long time since I've had such a delicious drink."
In an instant.
The hair on Su Ziyu's whole body stood up. He instantly put his hand on the hilt of the meteor, frowned and stared at the old man who appeared in front of him and then sat in front of him, drinking by himself. , asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
Not aware of it at all.
There was no abnormality found in the perception. The old man seemed to appear out of thin air. It was only when Su Ziyu reacted that he discovered his existence.
But when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have heard footsteps just now.
But there was some unknown force that affected his perception, causing Su Ziyu to completely ignore it. Only when the other party spoke out did he become aware of the unexpected visitor in front of him.
This is a very scary ability.
With Su Ziyu's enhanced perception, it's definitely not easy for the other party to do this.
"This mutton is roasted well!" The bald old man in front of him didn't seem to care about his words. He twisted the pieces of meat with his hands and put it in his mouth, looking like he was ready to eat and drink.
There doesn't seem to be any obvious malice.
If the opponent wants to sneak attack on you, they should attack from the beginning.
Su Ziyu calmed down a little, put down his hand, looked at the bald old man in front of him, and asked curiously: "What kind of monster are you?"
The bald old man poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and asked, "What kind of monster are you?"
"I've lived this long."
"I've never seen anyone with as much death energy as you!"
Sure enough, it was for myself.
Su Ziyu thought for a while, took out the book of Hundred Monogatari, flipped through it quickly, then put it aside casually, looked at the bald old man in front of him and said, "Slicker?"
Another legendary monster.
His position is still behind Shuten Doji, and Qing Xingdeng has very few records about him. He only said that this kind of monster is elusive and can see through the weaknesses of people's hearts.
This kind of monster is not harmful to people in legend.
Every time he appears, he goes to other people's homes to eat and drink, as if he is the owner of the home, like a rich uncle. It is said that he is the leader of the monsters. If there is a dispute between the monsters, they will come to him to bring justice. There are very few other stories about him. This monster appears everywhere in Fuso. It is extremely difficult to encounter him on weekdays. There are few rumors about him harming people.
The slick guy in front of him smiled and said nothing, but his eyes became more serious when he saw Hyakumonogatari. He lowered his head and concentrated on eating the food in front of him, as if he was the host.
This should be the most powerful monster Su Ziyu has ever encountered so far.
"Why did you come to me?" Su Ziyu took out a wine bottle out of thin air. After opening it, a strong fruity aroma came out, making the slick man in front of him gulp.
The wine brewed by druids can be said to be the best wine here.
"Fucking it, give it to me!" The slick guy in front of him looked extremely greedy.
Su Ziyu ignored him completely and poured a glass of wine on his own. After drinking it in one gulp, he exclaimed with satisfaction: "Good wine! It is indeed the best wine."
A shadow grabbed the wine in front of him.
Snapped!
Su Ziyu instantly struck out the opponent's hand, then took the wine bottle in his hand and looked at the slippery ghost in front of him with a half-smile.
The slick guy in front of him was not angry, and looked like he was smiling. He raised his hand and touched his bald head, and said in a familiar manner: "When I was passing by Kyoto, I heard that a strange man appeared, and he was also a master who was proficient in thunder magic. people."
"I just stopped by for a visit, but I didn't expect him to be so stingy and wouldn't even give me a drink!"
An interesting monster.
Su Ziyu picked up the wine bottle and poured him a glass. Then the slick guy looked impatient, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, exclaiming: "It's really a good wine!"
"It's a pity that the taste is a bit bland."
"Full of it, full of it!"
"One mouthful is not enough! Let me taste it carefully!"
Su Ziyu ignored him, poured himself a glass, and asked casually: "It is said that you are the leader of the monsters. I don't know why you came to me. It should be more than just a meeting. Bar?"
"How am I the leader of monsters?" Slippery Ghost stared at the wine bottle in front of him and said with a smile, "The nine-tailed fox in Qingqiu is the leader of monsters."
"I'm just a greedy and fun-loving old monster."
When Su Ziyu heard this, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, then he stroked the sly ghost in front of him and asked casually: "Nine-tailed fox?"
"I heard that you are from Tang Dynasty." The slippery ghost looked like he was smiling but not smiling, and said after drinking in one gulp: "Don't you still know who that nine-tailed fox is?"
Damn it!
It's really her!
The slippery ghost signaled Su Ziyu to continue to fill up, and said while drinking: "The remaining soul of the nine-tailed fox escaped to Fuso, and rested for nearly a thousand years before reincarnating."
"You, a Tang man, came to Fusang for nothing? Aren't you just looking for her?"
This really doesn't exist.
Why should I look for her when I have nothing to do? This big monster is not easy to mess with!
"Did she do what happened in Kyoto?" Su Ziyu poured herself a glass of wine and whispered.
"Who else can there be besides her!" The slippery ghost reached out and touched his bare head, shook his head and sighed: "The troubled times are coming, and even monsters have nowhere to escape!"
"Fuso's fox demons are now under her command."
"If there hadn't been an accident that year and Abe Qingming ran out, I'm afraid she would have stolen Fuso's national destiny."
Ampere Seimei
correct.
Anbei Qingming is the son of the Fox Fairy, and his demonic aura cannot deceive anyone.
"Ampei Qingming?" Su Ziyu asked doubtfully.
"Don't you know yet? That's right. You just came to Fuso not long ago." The slippery ghost stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of pastry, shook his head while eating and said: "The son of Kuzu Ye. The nine-tailed fox probably didn't expect that Fuso actually came out of the sky. Even though he is a prodigy, he has mastered the art of yin and yang and has achieved great success, and has been recognized by the White Dragon Soul of Jinghe."
"Let her previous calculations fail."
"But there seems to be something wrong with Anbei Qingming. His inner demons are at work. His inner demons have turned into monsters, and they have become the minions of the nine-tailed fox."
The amount of information is a bit large.
But Su Ziyu somewhat understood why the demon in the underworld disappeared mysteriously.
If it was really the nine-tailed fox who took action, I am afraid that the Yama in the underworld might not be her opponent, and he would not be an easy master to offend.
Sure enough, none of the main tasks are easy!
After saying this, the slick guy in front of him stood up as if he was full of food and drink, directly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for the hospitality! Farewell!"
Then he walked outside.
Su Ziyu had just stood up when the slippery ghost in front of him had already walked far away and disappeared from sight in a blink of an eye, leaving no trace of him at all.
"Come as soon as you come, and leave as soon as you say?" Su Ziyu smiled and shook his head.
This big monster is interesting.
He still doesn't know why the other party came to find him. There must be some purpose, but unfortunately the other party is not willing to say it clearly.
Stealing national destiny
Fuso's court is indeed corrupt now, and the princes and nobles also like luxury and debauchery. Does this have anything to do with the nine-tailed fox
correct.
The shogunate era is coming soon.
According to the progress of history, Fuso's royal family will soon become a decoration. Could this be what the sly ghost said about stealing the country's destiny? It seems that the nine-tailed fox is also a bit miserable. For a place as small as Fusang, she has to spend so much thought and calculation, which is far behind what it was back then.
At noon.
After Su Ziyu paid the bill, he walked towards Mikawa Kingdom under the reluctant eyes of the hotel proprietress. He would not go back to Kyoto for the time being. Since there were so many monsters in Fuso, he might as well take the opportunity to increase his source power.
Shantong is a kind of monster native to Fuso.
As the name suggests, it is a type of mountain spirit ghost. In China, this kind of monster is called a mandrill. Originally, mountain children should not be very harmful to people. At most, they can only cause trouble. But I don’t know why the mountain boy in Sanhe Kingdom is a bit... It is different. It has killed many people during this period. It not only harms people but also eats them. Many businessmen have been killed by it. Now there are no businessmen passing through the Three Rivers Kingdom.
The powerful nobles of the Three Rivers Kingdom summoned some Onmyoji to deal with it, but all of these people never returned.
Su Ziyu's goal this time is it.
According to his estimation, this mountain boy is at least an elite monster, maybe a leader-level mini-boss, and he can definitely gain a lot of power points. This mountain boy has gathered a group of brats and is entrenched in a place in Mikawa Kingdom. It seems that his style is imitated by Shuten-douji, and he wants to dominate the local area, but he doesn't know if he has the strength of Shuten-douji.
It’s not that far from Owari Province to Mikawa Province.
Because it is only the size of a county town, it only takes Su Ziyu half a day to walk around.
However, compared to Owari Kingdom, Mikawa Kingdom has withered a lot. There are no pedestrians along the way. The few people who appear are just passing by in a hurry. They are a little scared when they see strangers, as if they are worried about encountering monsters during the day.
