Qing Xingdeng nodded. "Yes, it's a story about his mother, Shouki Ji."

Tomi Jiang lowered his head in confusion, his hands unconsciously pulling at the hem of his clothes, and then asked as if he had made up his mind: "What story do you want to know about me?"

He remembered that Qing Xingdeng came to him because he wanted to hear stories.

Qing Xingdeng put his finger on his lips and thought about it seriously: "Why don't you first offset the story you told last time, and then give me a story I haven't heard before?"

Tomie looked at her and said without thinking: "Then, can I tell you a follow-up story to Miss Sadako's story?"

Qing Xingdeng's eyes widened, "Is there a follow-up to that story?"

Tomie nodded and calculated carefully, excluding "Sadako 3D" and "Sadako vs. Kayako". There should be 4 movies, which should be enough to satisfy Qing Xingdeng. It is definitely a story that has never been heard in this era.

The expression on Qing Xingdeng's face instantly became tangled. To be honest, she wanted to hear it. But I’m also curious about the story of the Son of God himself.

Fu Jiang saw that she was inexplicably relaxed. Although there was no basis for it, he felt that Qing Xingdeng had been taken advantage of.

Finally, Qing Xingdeng raised his head and asked him tentatively: "Can I tell you this story first, and then decide what story you want later?"

Tomie thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, but you can no longer trade the story about Hoshikuma Doji."

Qing Xingdeng nodded, "Don't worry, you are the only one."

Fu Jiang frowned, suddenly realizing something was wrong.

Qing Xingdeng ignored him, and immediately told the story about Ghost-eating Princess as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

More than a hundred years ago, less than two hundred years ago, an appalling thing happened in Damba Kingdom.

Among the monsters, there are monsters that eat the hearts and livers of humans in order to gain strength. However, I never expected that my shoes would suddenly get wet while walking by the river. One day, a monster suddenly appeared in Tanba Country, opened my chest, and took away my heart and liver.

Monsters are different from people. If you lose your heart and liver, you will not necessarily die, but it is still the most important part of your body. Even if a monster loses its heart and liver, your strength will be greatly reduced even if you don't die.

The first people who had their hearts poached were the weak little monsters. They were not strong enough and did not survive until they met other monsters.

But later, the strength of the killed monster gradually increased, which also attracted the attention of Shuten Doji, the master of Tanba Kingdom.

They finally learned from a certain monster that lost its liver but survived that the murderer was a beautiful succubus with an appearance that was the same as that of a human being.

She looks no different from those delicate noble ladies of humans. She wears clothing that may seem shabby to humans, but normal to monsters.

Most of the monsters whose hearts were ripped out by her were those who saw a single woman walking in the mountains and forests, thought she was a human, and had evil thoughts to eat her, but she killed them instead.

It seems that she is innocent just to protect herself, but the frequency of her encounters with monsters is so high that everyone spreads the news that there is a beautiful monster who can perfectly dress up as a human being, and deliberately uses herself as a monster in places where monsters often hang out. Bait, induce monsters to eat.

So before I knew it, monsters began to call that mysterious but ferocious monster: Shoukihime.

At that time, the only person around Oeyama Shuten Doji who could help him was Ayu. After a long period of planning and sacrificing many monsters, they finally caught Shouki Ji.

After rushing to see Shouki Ji in excitement, Shuten Doji found it very ridiculous.

Because the entire Tanba Kingdom was in chaos, the demon-stricken Shouki Hime turned out to be a human being.

"Wait a minute." Tomie unconsciously interrupted Qing Xingdeng who was telling a story. If he remembered correctly, Hoshikuma Doji said that Shouki Ji was his mother.

If Shoukihime is a human, then Hoshikuma Doji is a half-demon?

Qing Xingdeng smiled and looked at Fujiang, who had the same reaction as when he first heard this story. He just continued to tell this related story without explanation.

Human hearts and livers are supplements to monsters, but monster hearts and flesh are poison to humans. Monster flesh and blood contains a lot of power. Without corresponding spiritual power, it cannot be digested and will even be absorbed by monster flesh and blood. Under the influence, he gradually turned into a monster, and eventually turned into an irrational monster.

Because he discovered that Shoukihime is a human being and is indeed eating monsters. She has eaten so many monsters and has no signs of becoming a monster. Shuten Doji became strongly curious about her and began to investigate the past of Shoukihime. and origin.

Going forward further in time, to the Enretsu period, Prince Hayara was accused of being the mastermind behind the assassination of Fujiwara Tanetsugu, then Emperor Kanmu's confidant. He was deposed as the crown prince and imprisoned in Otonji Temple. Prince Hayara went on a hunger strike to prove his innocence, and died in anger at Takase Bridge in Kawachi Province on his way to Awaji Country.

Prince Zaara turned into a resentful spirit to cause trouble. In order to suppress and appease him, Emperor Kanmu was forced to move to Heian-kyo, where the four gods were located. This ended the Nara era and started the Heian era.

And Shokikihime was the daughter of the first god of the Yasaka Shrine, the Blue Dragon in the Shifang Shrine at that time.

The customs of the Heian period were somewhat inherited from the Nara period, and beautiful girls were born like that.

There were many suitors, but they were all rejected by this woman on the grounds that she needed to remain pure as a miko.

Her attitude of rejecting people is said to be very arrogant and rude.

But suddenly one day, the woman who kept saying that she wanted to remain pure when she was a miko was found to be pregnant.

No matter who asked her, she did not reveal any information about the father of her unborn child.

In order to prevent such a scandal from spreading, her father first announced that his daughter was seriously ill and was going to rest, and imprisoned her.

At the same time, she sent people to secretly search for information about all the men she had come into contact with. Of course, nothing was found.

At the same time, the fetus in the woman's belly has reached the time when a normal woman should show her pregnancy, but her abdomen remains normal.

The well-informed God Lord realized at that moment that his daughter was carrying inhuman blood.

There is no legend about the gods blessing human women and leaving their own blood.

But the children of Zhengshen will never harm their mothers.

From the moment she was pregnant with this child, the woman's vitality has been constantly draining away.

At this rate, she would die before the baby was born.

As a father, the Lord God gave her two choices, either to give up the child, or to die with the child.

After hearing this, Tomie already understood why Shouki Ji was born.

He sighed softly and sighed: "I never doubt a mother's love for her children."

Sure enough, Qing Xingdeng said: "Her father originally wanted to kill her himself to avoid such a huge scandal, but she ran away. In order to give birth to a child, he decided to make up for his lack of strength from other people or monsters. This is the real reason for the birth of Ghost Eater Princess."

Miko are powerful, but they are different from the gods. In addition to their own talents, the source of their power is their belief in the gods. When they no longer serve the gods wholeheartedly, their power will diminish, fall in love with monsters and become pregnant with each other's children. The miko will naturally lose the power given by the gods.

All she can rely on is her own flesh and blood, which is more powerful than ordinary people, as bait to capture monsters based on the knowledge she has learned in the past.

It wasn't until she ate too many monsters that she gradually gained the power to use it freely.

After Shuten Doji learned all about her past, he was very moved by her maternal love, so he took her in Oeyama.

As long as Shuten Doji decides to help someone when he feels like it, he will do so with all his heart.

But he is also the master of Tanba Kingdom. In theory, all the monsters in Tanba Kingdom belong to his people, so she cannot be allowed to use Tanba Kingdom as a food depot.

But precisely because the capital had just been moved to Heian-kyo, all the nearby monsters wanted to occupy the territory closest to Heian-kyo, so Shuten Douji made an agreement with her.

Dajiangshan will provide her with a place to stay, and Shuten Doji will protect her, but she must become a part of Dajiangshan and fight for Dajiangshan.

From then on, Shoukihime, who later made other youkai tremble when they heard of it, was officially added to Shutendouji's command.

However, there are hidden dangers when humans eat monsters. Even if the fetus in her belly absorbs the monster power she ingests, her human body will indeed be abnormal and difficult to survive.

In the past, the child in her belly was not strong enough to absorb her life force, which was not enough to supply them and would die together. Now the child in her belly has a stable source of power, but the mother's body cannot bear it and will die at any time. Naturally, the child cannot survive.

So Shuten Doji gave her two choices after checking her. The first was to give up the child, which would at least save her life. Second, if the mother becomes a ghost, as long as she is not a human being, she can naturally bear the negative cost of providing power to the child.

Tomie heard this and clenched his hands unconsciously. Even though it was revealed to the greatest extent that Shoukihime was the mother of Hoshikuma Doji, it was impossible to feel calm after hearing this paragraph.

Qing Xingdeng didn't show off, and directly said the choice that had been expected: "The Ghost-Eating Girl chose to become a ghost."

The cost of turning a human into a ghost is too high, and no one can imagine the pain except the person involved.

What's more, Shouki Ji was still a human at the time and didn't have too much resentment. What supported her through the long and painful process was her obsession to give birth to the child.

Her feelings as a mother prompted her to go through the painful process, transform into a ghost girl, and finally be able to master the power that was not hers.

After transforming into a ghost, the child in her belly finally began to show signs of growth. For this reason, Ghost Eater Ji needed more power to give birth to her child.

Even though Shoukihime, who had become stronger, fought in many places with Shutendouji, at that time, whenever the Oni of Oeyama was mentioned, the monsters would think of Shutendouji and Shoukihime.
