[Comprehensive] Monster soup house

Monster Mountain?

Lin Sheng looked back at the mountain whose upper layer was half-shrouded in mist, a little unsure, "You say this is a demon mountain?"

The two samurai looked at the group of them (not sure if they saw Ibaraki), probably seeing that they all looked extraordinary, and Qingming and Lin Sheng were both wearing hunting clothes. Tell what happened in the village.

It can also be regarded as a warning to these passers-by who seem to have extraordinary identities.

It turned out that almost a month ago, it started to snow here at night, but at dawn, I couldn't see anything, except for the top of the Fengshen Mountain.

At first everyone thought that the weather this year might be beneficial, but then the livestock began to be lost in the snowy night, and finally more and more livestock were lost, and people hid the livestock in the house one after another, but soon A new situation has appeared again...

"Then one day, some people who went hunting in the woods of Fengshen Mountain disappeared unexpectedly on the way back. Only then did the people in the village start to get really nervous. The witches in the village only had some simple medical skills and had no magic power. , I had no choice but to send someone to invite the eminent monks from the town."

"After Master Baoqi came here, the loss of livestock disappeared, but he still heard ghosts crying and howling wolves in the snowy night. Master Baoqi said that there are monsters in the mountain, so he set up an enchantment to seal the whole mountain. Anyone come near."

"The few people who disappeared were also found by the mage, but unfortunately they seemed to have lost their souls. The mage said that only by destroying the monsters can their souls be retrieved."

So, he would be blocked no matter what the divination was, because of the enchantment set by Master Baoqi?

Qingming shook his fan, "But isn't this Fengshen's mountain? How could there be monsters making trouble?"

The samurai withdrew his hand on the knife, "You don't know, the shrine here has long been abandoned, no one would go there, who knows what strange wild spirits will live there?

Master Baoqi was merciful, in order not to let the people in the village continue to be disturbed, he stayed here and planned to completely remove the monsters in the mountains. "

After that, Qingming asked some other questions about this mountain one after another, and about the wind god who once lived here and protected this generation.

But these two young warriors obviously don't know, they only know that they have heard some mentions from their ancestors.

"Who knows if it's true? After all, no one saw it with their own eyes, and if there really was that wind god, would he allow these monsters to disturb the villagers?"

Yes, if that Fengshen was really here, how could he allow such a thing to happen?

But what if Fengshen was not there at that time?

Thinking about a month ago, they discovered that Feng Qilin was polluted, made trouble in Cangye Forest, and brought Feng Qilin back.

The Fengshen probably left around that time, or was taken away.

But if someone happens to make trouble at this time, they can imagine, is someone trying to use these villagers to deal with Fengshen who has fallen into a demon?

Those two samurai took up their duties in the town's guard team, and this time they were sent back to assist Master Baoqi because of an accident in the village.

After knowing that they came from Kyoto, the two samurai seemed to become more enthusiastic. After telling them not to approach the mountain if they had nothing to do, they also pointed out a shortcut to the town, probably I'm afraid that people like them in the capital won't be used to living in small rural villages like them.

Boya turned to Qingming, "How is it?"

Qingming tapped the palm of his hand with his fan, "There's something strange here." Not only is it about Fengshen, but also about what happened in the nearby village.

Lin Sheng and Ibaraki looked at each other silently, although the latter turned away, but he thought, they probably ran into trouble again.

Because of the background of this era where humans and demons overlap, professions such as onmyoji, witch, exorcist, and mage are very popular, and there are places like temples and shrines in almost every place, and there are priests Liao (probably an onmyoji or a witch).

The priest in the town didn't seem to have expected that this event would alarm the great Onmyoji in the capital. When he invited Qingming and the others into their humble shrine, he felt like he was dreaming.

In a small place like theirs, he actually met the legendary head of Onmyoji——Abe Seimei-sama!

What a blessing! ! !

As the capital of a country, Heian-kyo is naturally the focus of attention of the people of the whole country. Some of the more famous events or big figures that happened in the capital will naturally be passed down vividly and vividly.

For priests in small places like them, Onmyoji Abe Seimei probably exists like a god, a figure that is completely out of reach.

What's more, if he's not mistaken, the tall and handsome young man with the bow on his back is Seimei-sama's close friend, the Minamoto son of the Genji clan, Minamoto-sama, as for the other two...

The handsome young man in the military holding a fox is also wearing a priestly uniform similar to that of Master Qingming. He looks extraordinary. He should also be an onmyoji in the onmyoji in the capital. As for the other...

He didn't dare to look into the eyes of the silver-haired young man. His experience as a priest over the past few years made him realize that the man who looked extremely dangerous and oppressive even if he restrained his aura might not be from this world, or not human...

The monsters that can transform into humans and appear in Shijing in broad daylight are beyond the imagination of these little demons and little spirits who have only seen some incomprehensible things.

I heard that powerful onmyojis have the ability to sign contracts with demon spirits and drive them away. It seems that their reputation is well-deserved!

Thinking about it this way, the priest's eyes couldn't help but brighten up when he looked at them.

The priest named Hongche was still very young. The old priest Hongming fell ill due to a medical treatment. He was in a coma and never woke up again, so the place was first handed over to his big disciple, Hongche, to manage it.

The county magistrate is more inclined to worship the Buddha, and Master Baoqi has a greater reputation, so this shrine with only a few houses looks very simple and deserted, and there are very few people.The little priest seemed very afraid of neglecting them, so he was always by his side, serving tea and water by himself.

The simplicity is good, the shrine is simple or something, this is not a big problem, but...

For the little priest who stared at Seimei with almost fanatical bright eyes, Boya only felt his brows twitch.

Especially when Seimei's message shikigami flew back with a note on his back, if no one was present, Boya suspected that the little priest would probably kneel down and call Master.

Although he knew that Qingming was very attractive when he was in the capital, and those high-ranking officials could not wait to offer him up, but he did not expect that even the priests in some small places would not slip through the net. Everyone will forget their first and last names.

However, Qingming didn't seem to notice it, and smiled and chatted with the kid about his parents. Although he knew that Qingming was actually asking for some other news in disguise, it was a bit uncomfortable to see them chatting so happily.

Finally, when talking about the old priest who was ill in bed, Seimei proposed to take a look.

After all, he fell ill after a retreat. If it was a general illness, it could be recuperated slowly, but if it was infected by some evil spirits, it would be very fatal.

Of course Boya wanted to go with him, but Qingming pressed his shoulders and said, "Boya, you stay here first." Then she turned to Lin Sheng, "Lin Sheng, let's go together."

Lin Sheng nodded, and said to Ibaraki who was sitting beside him, "Wait for me here."

After eating and struggling to get into the car, the little boy fell asleep not long after. Lin Sheng looked at Xiao Bai who was also lying on the futon, and simply let the little boy go.

Then, apart from the two sleeping "cute pets", only the lazy Ibaraki and Boya with a smelly face remained in the hall.

When Ibaraki lay down on his back and was about to squint for a while, Boya suddenly spoke to him, "Well... What are you and Lin Sheng about? What's going on?"

Ibaraki blinked, "What's going on?"

Boya looked a bit embarrassed, "It's...you, how do you see each other?"

"Look right?" Ibaraki yawned, "Probably because he's delicious, he looks so appetizing, and I can't help but want to hide it and eat that..."

Boya: "..." Sure enough, monsters look at people in such a different way...

and many more……

"Could it be that you are with Lin Sheng just because he is delicious?!"

Boya couldn't believe it, but he didn't see anything missing in Lin Sheng. Could this monster be joking with him?No, he felt that they probably didn't have that kind of friendship yet.

Ibaraki Doji: "Of course, don't you see someone who is delicious and you like, don't you want to eat him bit by bit?"

Boya: "..." I would never think of eating people! ! !

But when he saw Ibaraki's ambiguous expression as if he was reminiscing, Boya suddenly realized that the "eat" this guy said didn't seem to be the kind of food he thought! ! !

Thinking of seeing the inseparable kiss between these two people in Xiguo, Boya became even more sure!No, I didn't expect that they had really developed such a close relationship.

Looking at the uncomfortable Boya, Ibaraki raised his eyebrows, "So, you are...seeing Abe Seimei?"

Boya was taken aback when he heard his words, and then his handsome face flushed red, "I, I didn't want to eat him!" After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with what he said, and he seemed to be afraid. He added as if he had misunderstood, "No, I mean I didn't see him!"

Ibaraki-douji yawned lazily again, as if you can do whatever you want, but he has nothing to do with me at all, "Well, I know."

Boya: "..." No, you don't look like you know at all!

So, this monster is really annoying...

This shrine is actually the residence of the priests, which is equivalent to Seimei’s Yinyang Liao in Heianjing. The front is the main hall where you can pray and worship the gods, and the back is the residence of the priests in the shrine.

Lin Sheng and Qingming followed the young priest and walked around the corridor to the old priest's room.

The few people had just approached the old priest's room, and before entering, they felt a vague evil spirit. Qingming and Lin Sheng looked at each other, and they both felt it.

The door was opened, and the little priest turned sideways quickly, "Master Qingming, please come in, Lord Xiaolin."

The room is not big, very quiet, because the windows are not open, it is a bit dark, but it is not stuffy, and even a faint scent of flowers can be smelled, probably because of the wildflowers on the porcelain vase on the low table.

An old man with white hair and dry skin was lying on the tatami mat, his face was a little painful, and he looked very old. He lay there motionless, as if he had died.

But he didn't, because his chest was still heaving.

But there was a thick black mist on his chest, which was probably the reason why he couldn't wake up and became thinner day by day.

Qingming said "Excuse me", lifted the cover from the old priest's body, pulled off the inner garment, and sure enough, he saw a curse mark on the left chest, covering the entire chest.

"What is this?!" The little priest was a little surprised. He remembered that he hadn't seen it when he helped the master wipe his body the day before yesterday.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the sign left by the heart eater." It is a sign of prey, but why the old priest was not eaten is probably because his years of practice protected him.

Qingming let Lin Sheng get closer, the evil spirit pressing on the old priest immediately lost his composure, and began to crazily try to penetrate into the old priest's body, but unfortunately he couldn't get in like this, and could only disperse and cover his whole body .

What Qingming can do now is to temporarily help the old priest get rid of the evil spirit attached to him. Although he temporarily suppressed the evil spirit with a spell, but to eliminate the marked evil curse, he must eliminate the heart eater .

In the end, Lin Sheng handed over the extracted spring water to the young priest, and watched him feed the old priest after drinking it.

Seeing his master's face obviously getting better, the little priest was very grateful, and before he was about to leave, he recruited his shy little brother to let him watch over the master.

He himself doesn't have much talent for this line of work. He knows very well that everything here is supported by his master. Finally, there is a young junior who is quite up-to-date. Can teach him, if it goes like this, this place will really be useless.

Qingming and Lin Sheng waited outside the door for him to tell his junior brother to be good, and then they left together. Maybe it was because they had watched too many novels and British-American brain-burning dramas, but Lin Sheng suddenly had a bold guess.

He and Seimei looked at each other, and then they both turned to the young priest Hongche. They might be able to get some thread locks from the murder of the old priest.

It turned out that the old priest Hongming was killed when he went to find the missing villagers together with Master Baoqi.As for why the two warriors didn't mention Hong Ming, it was because he fell down, and those young people thought he was an old magician, who had no real material, and finally had to help his opponents to save him.

Because Hongche and his younger brother Hongshi also went to the village together, the master was worried about them and let them guard outside. As for what happened in the forest under Fengshen Mountain, only Master Baoqi and a few of his subordinates The monk and Hongming in a coma.

However, Hongche still remembers the very evil smile on Baoqi's face when he ordered someone to send his master back. Hongche felt creepy for a moment. Afterwards, he didn't know whether the smile was imagined by him or whether he saw it in shock. .

The little priest told them that, in fact, what the samurai said before was correct. After Master Baoqi took over the township, the village did not have any loss of livestock at night, but other villages in the town did, but the number was relatively small, and did not cause any serious problems. Big attention.

If this is the case, then their conjectures will only have to wait until tonight to get the answer.

Back in the main hall, Lin Sheng saw Xiao Bai lying on the cushion, and the little boy was sleeping soundly while hugging his fluffy tail on it as a cushion.

As for the other two, Boya was sitting at the low table thinking about something, and his face seemed to be in a bad mood; as for Ibaraki, Lin Sheng thought he was asleep, so when he walked over, he walked lightly. When he approached, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Those golden eyes were extraordinarily bright in the dimly lit hall.

This town is not very big, and the only village near Fengshen Mountain that snows at night is the largest and the closest village to the town. As for the other villages, they are scattered in other directions.

Qingming and Lin Sheng spread a bunch of shikigami paper shikigami in the villages around the town, and if there was any trouble, they would get the news immediately.

It was the first time for Lin Sheng to participate in such an action, and it would be a lie to say that he was not excited, after all, who hasn't had a secondary dream when he was young?

Of course, they didn't forget that their mission to come here was to find Fengshen Yimulian.

When Qingming got off the car, he placed the shikigami there. As for the breakthrough of the enchantment in the mountain, they are still looking for it, but they should not be the only ones looking for this breakthrough.

Leaving Xiaobai and Xiaozizi in the shrine in the town, Lin Sheng and his group took a wheel and entered the road, covered with a layer of enchantment, and waited there on the top of Fengshen Forest.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, when Bai Xue began to dance in the night, wisps of black mist appeared like ghosts, and they were the same as the aura attached to the curse of the old priest.

At the same time, the paper figurines arranged in the surrounding villages also noticed something strange.

Lin Sheng recalled the things with the "evidence" together with the paper figurine, but he unexpectedly brought back a trembling and panting cow...

Seeing that he was about to fall into the carriage with the paper man, Ibaraki quickly punched out the cow with a hole in its stomach...

"........."

Ibaraki shook his hands, looking at the few people who were staring at him, he was a little suspicious, "Isn't this... right?"

Qingming shook her head, "No...you did the right thing."

Even if Lun Ruo Dao can expand his body by himself with demonic power, but this is not enough to prevent a big ox from entering, they will probably be pushed outside...

Lin Sheng was also speechless for a while. He thought that the ones missing were chickens, ducks and other birds that would not cause too much noise. Unexpectedly, the monster directly attacked the biggest one, which was really unpredictable.

Of course, they were not the only ones who were caught off guard, but also the heart eaters who were investigating the situation below.

Because of the cow that was out of reach just now, and Ibaraki's nimble fist, their positions were also exposed.

A few people simply showed up.

The snow fluttered strangely in the night wind. In this silent forest, the aura of the mountain spirit that they usually felt seemed to disappear in the snow.

Before they had time to think about the weirdness, a lot of torches suddenly appeared around them, and they slowly gathered in the open space where they were. Judging by their clothes and holding axes or hoes, they should be from the village. people.

The leader is a kind-hearted monk. He wears a red cassock and a Vairocana crown on his head. He seems to be over middle-aged, but his youthful handsome appearance can still be seen from his outline.

But what makes people feel uncomfortable is the breath on his body.The aura of this monk is still human, but it has a rotten feeling. He can feel spiritual power in his body, but at the same time, he is also shrouded in evil spirits. There is definitely something wrong with this monk, and it is a big problem.

They were looking at each other, and the other side was looking at them too. When his eyes fell on Lin Sheng, Ibaraki frowned and pulled him behind.

The restless villagers held up their axes and said bluntly, "Who are you?!"

"I'm a monk from Tianbao Temple, whose Dharma name is Baoqi." The head monk clasped his hands together, "I don't know why the benefactors came here in the middle of the night?"

"You, you are...the ones I met at the foot of the mountain at noon..."

That's when the two young warriors in the crowd recognized them.

Qingming waved her fan and looked even more magnificent in the flying white snow, "What a coincidence, we meet again."

"Wait, what is that?"

Soon there were other voices in the crowd, and everyone's eyes were attracted again.

The yellow-black body of the cow was particularly obvious when the white snow fell on the ground. Originally, a hole was opened in the stomach and the internal organs were dug out. Then Ibaraki punched it from the sky, and the blood flowed all over the ground. Already starting to stiffen.

For ordinary people like them who live on farming, cattle are simply the lifeblood.

Everyone immediately turned their suspicious eyes to them.

Qingming simply showed the signboard of Yinyangliao, explaining his intention of coming.

But of course he wasn't talking about looking for Fengshen, but that they were ordered to come to eliminate the demon.

After seeing the hole in the cow, seeing the monk named Baoqi, and several young people in the crowd standing in a daze while exuding the breath of death, Seimei already knew who was doing it. Behind the scenes.

He and Lin Sheng guessed right, the murderer was the "Bao Qi" who had already been eaten up.

But he didn't understand, why did the Heart Eater unite with the people in the village to deal with the long-forgotten Fengshen?

What is his purpose?
