Since I met a big guy like Ibaraki

Shuten seldom ran to Ibaraki's territory, because he knew that once the tendons in Ibaraki's brain were constricted, it would turn into a piece of dog skin cream that could not be shaken off.

Unless he really encountered some unsolvable problem, or he was depressed and needed someone to drink to his heart's content, Shuten would rather let himself die drunk in the swamp than spend the night in Ibaraki's palace.

After all, he still remembers...

One time when he fell down drunk, Ibaraki pulled him up by the collar and said seriously: "My best friend Shuten-douji! As the demon king of Dajiangshan, how could you be defeated by wine? In the jug! Take heart! Be sober!"

Immediately, he shook his body desperately, trying to wake him up, and finally...successfully threw him up ==

Shaking away the not-so-good memories in his mind, Jiu Tun thought about Hong Ye's orders when he came, and turned his eyes to look at the human woman lying on the rattan chair.However...neither she nor Ibaraki found him coming...

Ibaraki was so lax, he was so dazzled by the woman, he didn't even notice the big monster approaching... Uh, wait, why is this sentence so familiar?

Oh, he remembered, this is what Ibaraki once said to him - best friend!You are so slack!To be dazzled by a woman!Didn't even notice my approach!

Alcoholic: ...

Ibaraki happily carried the bucket into the palace, he was silent for a moment, stepped slightly hard on his feet, crushed some dead branches and fallen leaves.With the slight "click" sound, Qiao Xinshu rolled his eyes.

"Shuten-douji..." She was slightly surprised, and hurriedly got up and said, "Sorry, the room hasn't been cleaned yet, wait a minute, I'll go and see if there are any stools."

With that said, she stepped up and walked inside.

Jiu Tun said: "No need to be so troublesome."

His eyes are beautiful and deep, like a magnificent violet gemstone, even a casual look can reveal a surprising brilliance.

He stared at Qiao Xinshu curiously for a while, seeing the latter horribly.Just when he was about to ask something, I saw Ibaraki rushing out of the room, like an old hen protecting its cubs, pulling Qiao Xinshu behind him.

Immediately afterwards, he stood between the two of them with his chest out: "As expected of my best friend Shuten-douji! He was able to sneak into my residence without making a sound!"

Alcoholic: ...

Qiao Xinshu: ...

"Ibaraki, you bastard, I don't treat her like a snack, why are you so guarded against me?" Shuten said helplessly.

Unexpectedly, Ibaraki replied quite seriously: "Best friend! I admit that you are a man standing at the pinnacle of the demon world! But even so, you can't show your breasts in front of my woman!"

Alcoholic: ...

Qiao Xinshu: ...

He looked down at his usual attire, strong chest muscles and chunky abdominal muscles, masculine and domineering.What's wrong with dressing like this?Hongye likes it!

Jiu Tun had a vein on his forehead, and said patiently: "Ibaraki, I'm here to deliver wine. Congratulations that you didn't die outside, and brought a woman back."

Ibaraki took the wine swiftly, shook the gourd and took a sip: "Friend, why is your wine full of the smell of red leaves?"

"Nonsense!" Jiu Tun said, "Is there anything wrong with the fusion of monsters between partners?"

"By the way, this jug of wine is a meeting gift for your woman." Jiu Tun said calmly, "After all, she is a human being, and she is too fragile. Even in the boundary of Dajiang Mountain, there are many things that can threaten her. "

Ibaraki shivered, and stuffed the wine gourd into Qiao Xinshu's arms.

"Besides this, I still have something to discuss with you." Jiu Tun said, "About your disappearance for two months, and... the space crack."

When this was mentioned, not only Ibaraki, but even Qiao Xinshu held his breath.

"Since you disappeared, Xingxiong boy has gone to the underworld. According to some news he occasionally sent, the space crack in Dajiangshan seems to be related to you."

"It's related to me?" Ibaraki frowned, "How come?"

"Go to my place and take your woman with you." Jiu Tun invited, "It's just a guess, and you are the key to confirm this guess."

……

In Jiutun area, there are ten thousand hectares of forests and seas and green forests.In the courtyard of Hongye, there are a lot of delicious fruits piled on a low table, and the mellow wine smell slowly dissipates, driving away the summer heat.

It was the first time for Qiao Xinshu to come into close contact with the primeval forest. Looking at the winding mountains and the towering giant shadow, she took a deep breath and felt that her lungs were much cleaner.

Hongye sat across from her, looking lazy and boneless.Rubbing the fan with pale fingers, he yawned lightly, looking a little tired.

Shuten muttered something rather concerned, but was knocked off the head by Hongye with a fan, and could only sit by the side depressed.

But not long after, he got sticky again. At this moment, Hongye got annoyed, and said, "If you weren't so good at making troubles, would you make trouble until dawn?"

The wine swallowed.

Ibaraki recalled it, and became even more wilted.

Qiao Xinshu: ... seems to know something important ==

After drinking a glass of wine, Hongye said slowly, "Let's talk about business."

Qiao Xinshu immediately pricked up her ears.

"Ibaraki, do you still remember what happened before you disappeared?" Shuten asked.

"Remember." Ibaraki nodded, "Before you bought me a drink, I killed that scum of Fenglangwan."

"When the hand of hell dragged him into the depths of the netherworld and shattered him, and merged with my original power, my demon power became very unstable, and then..."

"Then I'll invite you to drink." Jiu Tun continued, "I poured the wine of life with my demonic power, and poured you a gourd...After that, where did you go?"

Ibaraki recalled and connected the general situation: "After that, I randomly found a tree to rest against, and when I woke up, I found that I had gone to another place."

He looked at Qiao Xinshu, and his tone became soothing and soft: "That's her hometown, a strange and beautiful world. It's very different from ours."

Hongye picked up the bone fan and knocked on the lower table, interrupting his reverie: "Don't mention the other world, the time-space rift opened for the second time, when did it happen to you?"

"And... Ibaraki..." Momiji pointed at his crimson hair, narrowing her eyes slightly, "I remember you had white hair when you left, why did it turn red now?"

Speaking of this, Shuten was also quite concerned.When Ibaraki returned two months later, the demonic aura on his body became even stronger, and the coercion became even more terrifying.As if it had been transformed by its essence, there was an aura of light from the inside out.

The most important thing is that after a trial and fight last night, he vaguely sensed that Ibaraki's demonic power was mixed with... divinity?

"Red..." Ibaraki rolled a few strands of hair, stroked the increasingly eye-catching wine red, and said, "I have done some things and gained some human beliefs."

"Faith?" Hongye was surprised, "You plan to go to Gao Tianyuan...to become a god?"

"No, I'm not interested in being a god." Ibaraki replied, "I removed the power of faith, but a little power is still integrated with me, and my hair...is the product of the fusion of power."

The unblocking, evolution, transformation, and fusion of demonic powers... Ibaraki has a slight divinity and aura of a great demon, plus his hell hand that can open the nether world, and a subspace different from ordinary demons...

Shuten and Hongye glanced at each other, apparently wanting to understand something.

The matter of space cracks can be big or small, but if it happens in Dajiangshan, it must be taken seriously.After all, not every monster has the ability to escape and protect itself when facing a crack. In many cases, this treacherous power of space will swallow everything and annihilate everything.

Once, just a rift in the underworld caused huge turmoil in the entire Heian capital, and the space-time tunnel was the endorsement of a narrow escape, which was enough to cause a huge panic.

Since Ibaraki's disappearance, the atmosphere in Dajiangshan has inevitably become tense.If even the majestic ghost king is folded behind the crack, and the crack is elusive, then... Dajiang Mountain is definitely not a safe place.

For this reason, Xingxiong Boy put down all the sundries at hand and went to the Underworld to collect information...

But unexpectedly, the appearance of space cracks is related to Ibaraki Doji himself!If the power that Ibaraki possesses...then...

Qiao Xinshu pondered for a moment, then quickly cleared her mind.She has always maintained the attitude of a listener, but now that she knows that there is hope to go home, she suddenly feels a little overwhelmed.

"Go and see that tree!" She said suddenly, "I met Ibaraki by chance, I remember that I was... drawing symbols... If I guess correctly, my mobile phone is a medium, or ...my apartment is the medium."

What is an "apartment" and what is a "mobile phone", Shuten and Momiji didn't understand, but Ibaraki understood what she meant.

"You mean, is that tree a medium? A medium that spans space?"

"That's right." Qiao Xinshu asserted, "Media is an indispensable part just like receiving files requires the Internet."

She stood up eagerly: "Go and have a look... You guys had a conflict there yesterday. I wonder if the tree is broken?"

……

Fortunately, when the four of them came to the ancient tree, it was still standing in place, its branches and leaves luxuriant like a giant umbrella, casting a thick black shadow.

Ibaraki stretched out his hand and stuck the old skin of Furuki on it.He closed his eyes and felt it slowly for a long time, before opening his eyes after a while, he said, "It...does have some connection with me, mixed with my demonic power, and even has some divinity."

Immediately, he took a few steps back and continued: "It's not enough."

"What's not enough?" Shuten asked.

"The required demon power and opportunity are not enough." Ibaraki said, "It is possible to open a space-time tunnel, but with my current demon power... it cannot guarantee the safety of the tunnel."

"The first two times I successfully crossed the barrier of space, I relied on luck."

Ibaraki analyzed: "If a stable and long-term supply source of demon power is established next to this tree... then, it is enough to open a tunnel! And Dajiangshan is connected to the tunnel..."

Speaking of this, Jiu Tun was the first to come back to his senses: "Are you planning to..."

"Since I have the power of space, I shall open the mystery of Rashomon." Ibaraki's eyes sharpened, "Rashomon will be the entrance to the paradise of Oeyama! And I will be the gatekeeper!"

"My best friend! Don't you want Dajiangshan to become an independent plane?"

He turned his head to look at Jiu Tun, his eyes were burning: "We will not be affected by the war outside, will not be disturbed by the pain of homelessness, we can provide shelter for the little monsters under our command, and even protect our beloved woman!"

"If Dajiangshan becomes the pure land behind Rashomon, it will be the destination of all monsters!"

In an instant, a gust of wind blew up, curling up the fiery long hair of the big monster.

Qiao Xinshu froze in place, listening to Ibaraki's words: "My friend, I have someone I want to protect, so I want to open this door! I want her to be safe no matter where she is. old!"

The heartbeat was out of control in an instant, and at this moment, every minute, every second, only his shadow remained in her eyes.

Jiu Tun nodded in agreement, and even Hongye became a little more serious.

"How to solve the source of the supply of demon power?" Jiu Tun frowned, "Do you need to call other big demons to help?"

"No, it's troublesome." Hongye chuckled, the curve of her lips was very beautiful, "Just open a demon well next to the ancient tree."

"Ok?"

"During the war, the most indispensable thing is resentment and the bones of monsters. Throwing their corpses into the well will form a steady stream of resentment and monsters over time."

Hongye Tingting circled the ancient tree gracefully, and continued: "An ancient tree with divine nature is like a cherry blossom tree in full bloom... The more bones buried under the tree, the more brilliant the flowers bloom."

"It has become a medium, full of divinity, but what provides it with energy is a dirty well."

"Yin and Yang, good and evil, light and darkness, there really are no specific boundaries..."

She seemed to have thought of something, and murmured: "Let's call this tree... 'Royal God Tree'..."

"Yu Shenmu." Jiu Tun followed up and said, "It's a good name."

"That well... let's call it the 'Bone Eater Well'!"

The Well of Bone Eaters and the Divine Tree, the symbols of extreme evil and extreme good, are really... interesting things.
