The night passed quickly.
Su Ziyu got up very early the next day, ate something and prepared to transfer to Yuanjiang Province. In fact, it was the distance to the next county town, but Luo Xinfu was active in a place close to Shinano Province.
Monsters like Luo Xinfu are relatively common in Fuso.
It is said that one will appear every few decades. Folk rumors say that it is a monster turned into a spider. However, according to the story of Hyakumonogatari, it is said that the netherband is a monster turned into a human.
"Legend has it that the earliest bride was a beautiful woman who married a lord. She was executed by the angry lord for having an affair with someone else. The lord threw her into a box full of poisonous spiders and let the spiders suck her body. She After death, the spirit merged with the spider and turned into a ruthless spider girl who often haunts the forest to seduce young men and then take their heads for food.”
Luo Xinfu is a monster transformed from a vengeful spirit.
In fact, whether in China or the West, there are rumors that people who died due to capital punishment turned into ghosts. There are similar legends in ancient Egypt. Some cruel punishments during the Pharaonic period believed that the person being executed would turn into a terrifying demon and must be sealed to avoid disaster.
Su Ziyu's second goal is to marry the bride.
This kind of monster is said to be afraid of fire. It just so happens that he also has the alchemical fire oil brought from the Demon Hunter World, so it should be easier to deal with it.
However, unlike the mountain boy we dealt with earlier, the New Lady has no specific area of activity. It often appears and disappears, and there are only occasional rumors of being harmful to people. People will find headless corpses that have been eaten near the forest.
Su Ziyu didn't have any clear destination, so he could only wander around and try his luck.
"Will Hyakumonogatari absorb the souls of ghosts?"
After killing the mountain boy yesterday, Su Ziyu discovered that the record about the mountain boy in the Hundred Monogatari had also changed. The original child-like portrait of the mountain boy turned into the one he killed yesterday, an extremely tall man. A burly mountain boy.
"How does this thing work?"
"Why did Qing Xingdeng give it to me?" Su Ziyu turned over the story of Hundred Monogatari in his hand in boredom.
Although it is a legendary-level rare item, Su Ziyu doesn't know how to use it. Sometimes it will automatically absorb the souls of ghosts and monsters, but Su Ziyu cannot use it whether by injecting spiritual energy or other methods.
In other words, this thing is just like a book in his hand.
If the space-time monitor system hadn't scanned it as a powerful rare object, I'm afraid Su Ziyu would only think it was an ordinary book.
Originally, he planned to return the lantern to Qing Xing.
But now Ghost Kyoto can't go back, and the underworld is probably still looking for him. Su Ziyu can only take it with him temporarily, and the monster information recorded on it is very useful.
It took half a day to reach Yuanjiang Kingdom.
This place is a little more deserted than other places, with mountains everywhere and not even a decent town nearby. If Su Ziyu continues to move forward, it will be Takeda Shingen's territory during the Warring States Period. Echizen is the hometown of Uesugi Kenshin. If he can go there in half a day, he can imagine how small Fuso's territory is. , but there are so many demons and ghosts occupying such a small place, which shows that the Fuso people are still very patient.
Outside a lush forest.
Su Ziyu tidied his clothes a little, and then wandered around casually.
It is said that the bride will turn into a beautiful woman during the day, and she likes to seduce young and handsome men. Su Ziyu is still young and handsome enough. If she tidies up a little and looks handsome, what if she takes the bait directly
Time passed little by little.
Su Ziyu wandered around here for a long time, but he didn't even see the shadow of a monster.
He only heard from other people that Luo Xinfu had harmed people nearby, but no one knew exactly where Luo Xinfu's lair was, so Su Ziyu could only try his luck.
The sky quickly darkened.
Su Ziyu was finally too lazy to leave, so he just found a place to sit. If he couldn't meet him today, he would continue to Edo. After staying in Fuso for such a long time, Su Ziyu found that Kyoto has the most monsters, which is completely different from that in Middle-earth. According to rumors in Middle-earth, monsters avoid people and hide in the barren mountains. , and in Fuso youkai seem to like to live among the crowd.
Where there are many people, there are more monsters.
What a strange phenomenon!
"It seems like we can't touch him today." Su Ziyu said secretly.
It's getting late.
Su Ziyu got up and prepared to return along the original route. He would first find a place to stay nearby for one night, and then go directly to see Mount Fuji tomorrow. He had never been to Fuso before, and when he went out, he usually visited Europe. .
"Are you lost?"
"Do you want me to take you out?" Just as Su Ziyu stood up, a timid female voice suddenly came.
Taken the bait
Su Ziyu couldn't help but feel startled, and suddenly felt secretly happy in her heart. She turned around and looked behind her.
He soon became a little disappointed.
Because the person who appeared behind him was not a bride, but a girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old. There was no demonic aura about her, on the contrary, there was a scent that he felt was very familiar.
This is a beautiful girl who looks a little scared and shy.
She was wearing a dark green dress with light green hair. She looked at Su Ziyu with curiosity and a hint of kindness. She seemed to want to get closer to her but was a little afraid. Seeing that he didn't reply, she asked in a low voice. One sentence: "Are you lost? I can take you out!"
"do not be afraid."
"I am the mountain spirit here and I will not hurt you."
He wandered around for a long time without encountering Luo Xinfu, but he attracted the mountain spirit here.
But as long as there are people.
"What kind of spirit are you?" Su Ziyu looked at the other party curiously and asked.
The aura of this monster made him feel familiar and friendly, but he couldn't tell what it was, but it didn't look like she was that dangerous monster.
"Me? Me?"
The girl in front of her was slightly panicked, then lowered her head and said timidly: "I am the wooden charm here."
Wood charm
It turns out she is a wood spirit!
No wonder she would take the initiative to show up and ask Su Ziyu if he was lost. Mu Mei is an elf living in trees in Fusang. As long as you don't cut down the trees where she lives, she is completely harmless. She is roughly equivalent to the tree spirit in European legends, which means she belongs to an oriental fairy.
The guardian witch's blessing is still in effect here.
Maybe the other monsters didn't feel it, but the Mu Mei in front of her noticed the friendly aura on Su Ziyu. After seeing him walking around alone in the woods for a long time, she thought he was lost here, so she showed up to ask. Should he take him out
all of a sudden.
Su Ziyu thought of how he should find the bride.
