Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

-nearly 30 years ago-

In a small town far away from the bustling Kyoto, there seems to be a popular legend about a certain monster.It is said that when people see a beautiful woman reaching out for help in the dark, they should never go there.That's because she is not only the bait, she is also a very ugly monster herself.

But there is another saying that anyone who sees her will die. There were many incidents of people being eaten by that monster in that town at that time.Every morning, bones are seen in different places, and gradually, the town has fallen into panic.And because the area is too remote, almost warlocks rarely come here.

In the winter night, the cold snow falls slowly, and the thick snow has changed this place into a white world.There was no one on the street, and people had already fallen asleep in this snowy night, unable to withstand the cold winter.

The sound of tree branches being crushed by the thick snow came next to my ears, and the dark blue figure was walking on the empty street at this time.The footprints that he walked were soon covered by falling snow.There is a white air flow out of his breath, and his icy pupils are as cold as falling snow.

Suddenly, a figure broke into his sight - it was a woman holding a child, running away from a mansion that looked quite rich.

"..." Xingxiong boy stood still and didn't move, and he didn't have to move.After becoming a ghost, he also has the ability to hide ghosts that every ghost possesses, which is the ability to hide in front of human beings.Unless it is like those onmyojis who have a strong ability to see ghosts...

In the ice and snow, that woman hugged the child in her arms tightly and ran away with all her strength. Even she herself didn't know that there was an extraordinary person behind her at this moment.

Xingxiong Boy took a few steps, and glanced at the mansion where the woman ran out of.

"Kasahara..."

— 18 years later —

"How many times have I said it! I want to eat meat!!" Hearing the sound of bowls and chopsticks breaking from the room, the servants of this family seemed to have expected it and shook their heads at the same time.I don't know when it started, Miss Kasahara's personality completely changed, and she doesn't eat vegetables and rice, but only eats raw meat.Yes, rather strange.And when everyone brings up the delicious cooked meat, the eldest lady will also be angry.

"I've said it all, don't serve those vegetarian dishes to Miss..." A servant shook his head, and the others agreed at the same time: "That girl Xia Concubine is really asking for trouble."

"But when did the eldest lady become like that?" Suddenly, no one knew who said this, and the servants present were speechless, and all turned their gazes to the depths of the room.

In the room, the hot vegetables and rice were poured on the floor, emitting a faint heat.The bowl that originally contained rice was also broken into pieces because it was thrown to the ground.

"Really, Concubine Xia..." The woman in front of her was wearing a gorgeous twelve-single dress. Although her face was beautiful and beautiful, her eyes at this moment were quite sharp and terrifying.She kept stretching out her hand and scratching her arm, sighing unhappily: "Are you an idiot, father, you are all against me when you are out, are you courting death!?"

"No, Miss..." Concubine Xia was startled, and immediately shook her head. "It's just that Miss has been eating raw meat...I'm afraid it will affect Miss's body..."

"Yiyang, what's wrong with you, you stinky girl?" At this moment, the woman raised her voice, grabbed the rice on the ground and threw it at her: "Get out! I don't want you to bring me any more food! Will tell people outside! I want to eat pork!"

"..." Concubine Xia allowed herself to be hit, not daring to dodge: "Yes..." After a reply, Concubine Xia walked out of the room alone.

It seems that the lady may be sick.

When Concubine Xia was thinking this way, she saw all the servants waiting outside the door.

"Concubine Xia, why do you girl take such a risk?" A domestic servant stepped forward to look at her with a sympathetic look: "We servants just need to listen to the young lady, and the rest will wait for the master." Just come back and talk about it.”

"The head of the family went outside the city to find a magician to treat the young lady's illness. I don't know if the young lady is really possessed by a monster." As soon as the other servant finished speaking, everyone present did not speak until ——"Then it's better for us to be careful now, and try our best to meet Miss's request." Concubine Xia left here with the servants who agreed by default, and went to do what she should do.

Although Natsumi Kasahara is just a servant, her appearance is no less than that of the lady of the Kasahara family.Concubine Xia moved into the Kasahara Mansion when she was 11 years old, and her mother died when she was 15 years old.Although it's a bit pitiful, many servants in Kasahara's house treat her like their own, which moved Concubine Xia very much.

Farther away from the edge of the small town, there is a deserted mountain forest. People and monsters dare not approach it because of its past. Dajiangshan-a very evil big monster once lived there.Although the monster has been expelled, no one or monsters dare to approach it out of fear of the big monster.Especially in this area, monsters are always appearing, and those unarmed people are becoming more and more afraid of the deserted deep mountains and old forests.

But on this day, Hoshikuma Doji and Ibaraki Doji went there and looked at the fiery red ball of light in their carefully designed black barrier.

"Soon it will be the day when Lord Shuten-douji will be fully resurrected. Before that, we may have to work harder." Hoshiguma-douji looked at the light ball as if it was emitting a red light with life, and said lightly: "We must be careful not to Let the other monsters know about it."

"I see." Ibaraki-douji put the sword on his shoulder and looked at the red light: "As long as Shuten-douji-sama is truly resurrected, everything will start again."

"..." At this moment, there was a hint of unbearable in Xingxiong boy's eyes.He knew in his heart that he really couldn't tolerate Minamoto Larimitsu's actions to them at that time.But now, Minamoto Raimitsu is dead.Even his descendants suffered this vengeance—Kimshi Yasuna, the sword has been owned by Shuten Doji.

"Master Shuten-douji is very vengeful." Ibaraki-douji clenched the sword in his hand, a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "...We must make him resurrect successfully."

"Well, definitely."

There is no starlight in the dark night, only the cold moon shines coldly.There was also a faint mist in the air, surrounding the entire town.It was already late at night, when people had already fallen asleep.

But only Concubine Xia who was standing in the courtyard had just finished her work, which was ordered by Miss Kasahara.After tidying up the clothes in his hands, he was about to turn around and go back to his room—but this scene suddenly appeared in front of him.

In the darkness, several eyes of different sizes stared at him, and those eyes blinked from time to time, looking very disgusting.

"..." Concubine Xia has long been used to it, and she cannot escape this innate ability.I usually see the existence of those extraordinary people more than ordinary people.Although she was afraid, she had been afraid for a long time—but Concubine Xia knew that if she had this ability, she might just ignore it... After all, some monsters appeared not all to scare people.

Concubine Xia took a deep breath, slowly turned her head and pretended not to see, and left the courtyard step by step.But there was another voice behind him, it was a woman's cry for help——

Concubine Xia only felt that most of her back was cold, and the woman's voice seemed to come from the air.

"What is this..." Concubine Xia raised her head to look at the sky, but when she lowered her head, she found herself standing on an open space—"Hey...?" All surrounded.Concubine Xia lost her direction all of a sudden, she stood still and did not dare to move.

"Please... help me..." At this moment, a woman seemed to poke her head out of the mist, and looked at Concubine Xia with resentful eyes: "Please miss, please help me out..."

"..." Concubine Xia felt an ominous premonition, but her body couldn't help walking towards the woman at this moment—gradually, Concubine Xia saw a huge black shadow behind the woman in the mist, with a big mouth .

"No...don't—!" Concubine Xia couldn't stop herself being controlled, because she could clearly see the whole body of this monster.There is a woman's head in a big mouth, which is the ogre most heard in the town.

"Hee hee... You are such a beautiful woman, your flesh and blood must be delicious." The woman's eyes widened and she smiled ferociously, and her mouth behind her opened wider.

"...Don't..." Concubine Xia bit her lips tightly at this moment, and when she was about to walk in front of that woman, a dark blue figure suddenly blocked her.

The light of the saber flashed, and a Taidao quickly chopped off the woman's head, and it lay in front of Dakou.

For a moment, the mist seemed to dissipate in an instant, and only then did Concubine Xia realize that she was still in the courtyard of Kasahara Mansion.But the scene in front of him was still so terrifying.

"Ah... ah..." The severed head rolled to the ground, making twitching sounds, but soon—"Who are you..." The head stared viciously at the dark blue figure, and followed The big mouth that was originally connected to him also slowly fell down at this time.

"Hmph, you're really funny, hell." At some point, a brown-haired man stood behind him. With a provocative tone, he reached out to grab his hair and lifted his head up: "I didn't expect wine You will be here as soon as Lord Tuntong dies, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"You...you are—" The woman's face was filled with panic, and her whole face turned pale.

"You should still remember, this is Lord Shuten-douji's territory. Master Shuten-douji also removed you from Dajiangshan." Before the woman's head could react, he threw her into the air and drew out the sword Just pierced her.In an instant, a large amount of blood gushed out and splashed all over the ground. ——"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

All these scenes were shockingly seen by Concubine Xia.At this moment, she bit her lip, not daring to move her gaze elsewhere.At this moment, she has no idea what to do, is the person in front of her a monster?They have a completely human appearance...are they warlocks...

But just now I heard that Shuten-douji-that is a monster from Oeyama.

"Hmph, you actually want to do something with Master Shuten-douji's stuff." Ibaraki-douji watched the head on the sword blow away with the wind, and retracted the scabbard after waving it a few times.

"...East...something?" Concubine Xia raised her head at this moment, looking at the two people in front of her in disbelief.

"We are monsters." The man who spoke was the man who had beheaded Gui Yikou before, and his cold eyes looked emotionless at this moment. "We intend to dedicate you to the newly resurrected Shuten-douji."

"..." Concubine Xia was startled for a moment, dedicated to... Jiu Tun boy? ?

So what do they mean - let me die...

Thinking of this, Concubine Xia became vigilant.Where is it that I am worthy of being offered...

"Don't you know?" At this time, the man on the other side suddenly appeared in front of Concubine Xia, and he reached out and grabbed her hair: "The flesh and blood of a beautiful human woman is quite delicious, I must have just woken up. You must be very hungry." "Ugh!" Concubine Xia felt as if her hair was about to be torn off, and she couldn't help but exclaimed in pain.

"Let go, it's not good to hurt her." Hoshikuma-douji said at this moment, letting Ibaraki-douji let go of his hand—"Hmph, actually, the reason why we found you is because of another thing--" Ibaraki-douji continued with a sneer Said: "You are born with the ability to see ghosts, you can be regarded as a person with spiritual power."

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Xia's eyes widened - she had been hiding this matter all along, how could they find out?

"So don't run away, as soon as you leave, we will kill you immediately." After Xingxiong boy's cold words came from the side, they were no longer in front of Concubine Xia in the next second.

"..." Concubine Xia was stunned at this moment, and stood stiffly in place.

"I'm going to die...?"
