Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

The deep purple vortex condensed, pressing tightly above the capital as if covering the entire sky, the protective barrier was fragmented, and the mist that emerged from all directions quickly surrounded the entire capital—from the outside, Kyoto seemed to be submerged It was like being in a thick gray fog, unable to see clearly what was going on inside.

"Boss!" Several tengus immediately rushed to the big tengu and reported what they saw around Kyoto: "The vortex floating in the sky seems to be the source of power to break the barrier!"

"What..." Big Tengu was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help being a little shocked when he looked into the distance.The sudden appearance of this celestial phenomenon actually had a destructive effect on the enchantment that shouldn't have an effect—is this helping him?

And Ibaraki-douji couldn't bear the uneasiness in his heart any longer, and he clenched the sword around his waist and walked towards the misty Kyoto in front of him—"Wait!!" Zashiki-douji stopped him, looked at the mist in front of him, and immediately opened it The power of prophecy: "How could it be..." At this time, her eyes widened, and the words that instantly appeared in her mind: No survivors.

But Ibaraki Doji didn't care about her stop at all, he pushed her away and gradually quickened his pace until his figure turned into a blue wind, rushing into the mist in the blink of an eye.

"I said you..." At this time, Ootengu was quite surprised, why was Ibaraki Doji so worried that he rushed into the weird mist immediately without saying a word: "Shuten Doji...is he still alive? ..." He could only try to conceive, but he hoped that this conjecture would be confirmed...

If Shuten-douji was still alive, wouldn't it be very dangerous to be there?

Although it is an old enemy for thousands of years, there has been a tacit understanding between Ootengu and him on weekdays-that is beyond the reach of any monster...

One day, one of the two of them will fall because of the promise they made shortly before Tamamo died.

"Tamamo is dead before, so there will be one between you and me who will become the real king of all monsters." At that time, Datengu still remembered the great rivers and mountains after the battle with Yuzao, the raging fire was still burning, and the sky was filled with The evil spirit formed a barrier, making the place chaotic.But the monster in front of him had a blood-red totem all over his body, and his golden pupils regained consciousness a little at this moment—"Yeah, when that day really comes—I won't be soft..."

"..." Zashiki Doji widened his eyes, turned his head to look at the big tengu who was seriously questioning her at this time, the same red pupils were looking at her suspiciously at this time, and did not dare to look at her...

"..." Zashiki-douji lowered his head, his voice trembling: "Shuten-douji is dead...but his heart is not dead—just like the great war in the Heian era, he...just exposed the human nature The heart is just...alive..."

"..." Otengu was stunned for a moment, his blood pupils widened instantly, and he looked at her in disbelief: "You mean...human... Shuten-douji has become a human!!??"

"..." I didn't expect such an excited reaction from Ootengu at all. Zashiki Warji lowered his head and nodded silently: "No one survived..." She repeated, never expecting that the prophecy would change and Come so fast.At this time, she looked at the strange dark purple celestial phenomenon in the sky, and the worst thing she thought in her heart was far less terrifying than the reality.

"Boss!!" At this moment, one of Daitengu's subordinates suddenly shouted, and pointed to the middle of the vortex in the distance, there was a group of gray and white entangled long objects pouring down from it. The hideous monster twisted together, let out a deafening roar and fell slowly.

"Damn it..." Big Tengu seems to have heard about this scene before, but he has never seen it—on the rare day of Tengu's eclipse in a century, the gate of purgatory will be open for a whole day...Those from ancient times The monsters that have ever existed will all gather as a group of ghosts and come back to this world—but in the long past, many onmyojis also performed formations on this day to lock them firmly. The gate does not allow them to return to the world.

"I finally understand... what is a purification ceremony..." Datengu looked at this scene, and sneered as he walked past Zashiki Doji: "Humans are indeed...a group of existences who like to mess around...regardless of the consequences Ah..." At this time, he looked at the tengus behind him, lowered his eyes to look at Zashiki Doji, then stretched out his hand and pushed back—"You guys just wait here..." After he gave this order, he slapped him a few times The wings flew to the capital in front of me.

"Chief...boss!!!" The tengus shouted instantly, and when they wanted to follow him, they were blocked by a barrier secretly cast by the big tengu...

——At the same time, the Iori Mansion——

"Lord Chitose... Lord Chitose!" Urgent calls came from his ears, Chitose frowned slightly and then slowly opened his eyes: "What's the matter... Ayi...?" Just as he saw Shi When looking at the face of God Ai, his eyes gradually widened: "Ai? Why are you here?" Ashiya Chitose was completely stunned with surprise on his face for a moment, but soon he felt a strong aura that continued Diffuse—is that, evil spirit? !

"Lord Chitose, hurry up and look outside!" Ayi pulled off the quilt on him with his own hands at this time, handed him the neatly folded hunting clothes and hangers, and immediately ran to the partition to look at the sky.

"Look what..." After hurriedly getting dressed, Ashiya Chitose just took a step forward and immediately paused: "This... what is this..." The celestial body in front of him was tightly pressed on the capital, and the power of the barrier was also strong. I don't know when it will break—"Chitose!" The shikigami also appeared and followed.

"You all..." Chitose Ashiya paused, looked up at the vortex in the sky and lost his composure for a moment: "This...what the hell is it..." He watched the mysterious celestial body appearing in front of him, completely unaware What the hell is going on—" Yuanshi was the first to notice the change in the sky, so he immediately sent his shikigami to wake me up, and thanks to the spiritual power of Iori Hime, the Iori mansion here seems to be untouched. Not affected by that celestial phenomenon."

"Influence? What's going on outside!?" Chitose Ashiya was stunned, and immediately walked down the veranda to come to them—at this moment, he seemed to have a strong premonition in his heart, and for some reason, he always felt that this was Abe. As the mantra says...the day when the gates of the underworld are opened.

"The current Kyoto is surrounded by miasma..." Toshi Kawain lowered his eyes at this moment, and when he said this softly, Chitose Ashiya's heart seemed to be interrupted, and his whole thinking stopped instantly.

"Abe... the mantra..." Ashiya Chitose looked around at this moment, hoping that the person he was talking about could explain it to him, but Huayuan grabbed him at this moment—"This gate of the underworld, it seems It's like being forced open..." Chitose Ashiya's eyes widened suddenly, and the result he didn't want to know the most began to flash in his mind: "People...the lives of the people..." He opened his mouth slowly, and stared blankly. To Iori Hime: "Master Iori...how are you...?"

"Father is fine...I went to see you just now..." Iorihime recalled the thrilling scene just now, the first thing she was worried about was "Father" in this mansion, and when she followed Kawain Toshi When rushing over at the first time, he woke him up and asked him to stay at Caobi Yuanshi for a while.

Although Kusakabe Toshi's mobility is inconvenient, but his onmyoji and shikigami can protect his father.

"Anai..." When we were separated at that time, Iorihime still remembered that Iorijiu slowly put his heavy hands on her head, and his eyes were full of kindness: "No matter what happens, the old man will Waiting here for your return..."

Father father...

Iorihime lowered her eyes and raised her head to look at Ashiya Chitose and Hanain Toshi at this time: "...Excuse me...what happened..." Having settled down with her father, the second most worrying thing for her now is the original The older sister who lived temporarily in Kyoto City.It's just that she couldn't say anything in front of Kawain who didn't know—"..." Chitose Ashiya and Toshi Kawain looked at each other silently at this moment, and it was only after a while that she heard Kawain Toshi say: "Actually ...Tomorrow is a rare event in a hundred years...Tiangou eats the sun—the mantra...he wants to wait for the gate of the underworld to open, so that you and Kyoto can purify that place..." These words are like a heavy burden... The pound instantly shattered Iori Hime's will...

"But...we've thought about it too!" Chitose Ashiya walked past Kazawa-in Yuanshi at this time, and interrupted: "As long as the seal of the five elements and Iorihime's ability are added, this ceremony will definitely be possible!"

"..." But Iorihime stared wide-eyed, unable to say even a single word, until Ayi came to her side at this moment and put his hands on her shoulders so that she would not have to worry—" This...is this..." Iori Hime hesitated about the ceremony for the first time at this time, I am afraid that she also knew that this ceremony would consume a lot of her spiritual power and even...would make her die directly... …

Do not……

She can't die yet...

It was agreed that we would take her to the Iori mansion to live together...

"Master Ashiya... Master Kawain..." Iorihime took a deep breath at this moment, raised her head and looked at the two in front of her, a firm light appeared in her originally confused dim purple eyes again: "I will work hard of……"

"..." The two onmyojis were stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help admiring the petite girl in front of them.Ashiya Chitose naturally knew what was supporting Iorihime, and Kawainin Toshi felt that he must bring Kusakabe Toshi's share in this ceremony to help Iorihime.

"Yeah." The two nodded at the same time, and asked themselves in unison in their hearts: Where did Abe's mantra go...

At this time, Xia Hua felt a burning sensation in her hand, and when she couldn't stand it, she opened her eyes, only to find that the Lingqie Pill in her hand was showing a dim light: "What's the matter..." As if telling herself what was about to happen... It happened, and the fluctuating waves of Lingqiewan were conveyed in my hands—"Hmm..." Xia Hua just wanted to get up at this moment, but a stabbing pain in her chest immediately forced her to stop: "This is... miasma?" She immediately covered her nose, and the rosary in her hand was now appearing on her thin white wrist.

But at this time, there was a loud noise of falling to the ground outside her room, Xia Hua was startled, and immediately stood up regardless of the pain, turned around and walked outside the partition: "What's wrong?!" Outside, Xia Hua felt the cold air blowing over her face, chilling her to the bone.

"Xia...Xia Hua..." At this time, Yu Daoan was holding a talisman, and the talisman was slowly being swallowed by something: "It's not good... Shuten Doji...he..."

"Yudao huh—!" As if her heart was shaking violently, Xia Hua couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground, "This... miasma..." Xia Hua looked at the terrible celestial phenomenon in the sky at this moment, as if Something seemed to be emerging like a rolling wheel, from the center she could only see a little gray, white and green thing, but she just didn't know what it was...

"Keep... persevere... for a while..." Xia Hua rushed out a paper talisman from her cuff at this moment, and after reciting the spell silently with difficulty, two golden lights emerged and entered her and Yu Daoan's bodies, gradually, The inexplicable pain in her body subsided, and when her physical strength recovered a little, Xia Hua stretched out her hand to support Yu Dao'an to stand up.

"Thank you..." Yu Daoan said this, and after standing up with Xia Hua, they looked at the whirlpool in the sky together, frowned and repeated the sentence just now: "Jiutun boy... is gone..."

"What?" Xia Hua was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Yu Daoan and couldn't help shaking her head: "Kong Ji...Juten-douji...Juten-douji!!" Xia Hua immediately turned and ran to where Shuten-douji lived He opened the partition and stared helplessly at the empty scene in front of him.The air in the room was too cold, so cold that even she didn't know when he left...

"Why...why..." Xia Hua fell to the ground in an instant, and the Lingqie Pill in her hand fell to the ground in an instant.What is the celestial phenomenon outside now, and where did he go at this time?Could it be that he... wants to abandon himself...

"Xia Hua..." Yu Daoan immediately rushed over, stood beside her and helped her up, but when she was about to reach out to pick up the Lingqie Pill, Xia Hua immediately snatched it—"I'll go find it." He!!" After leaving these words, Xia Hua turned around and ran out of the hotel regardless of Yu Daoan's obstruction—"Wait...wait!" Yu Daoan wanted to stop her, but knew she couldn't stop her, at this time She was already so confused that she didn't know what to do, the sudden disappearance of Shuten-douji, the sudden appearance of this mysterious celestial phenomenon floating over the sky of Kyoto... What the hell is it...

At this time, Yu Daoan slowly shifted her gaze, looked at Jiu Tun-doji's room for a moment, frowned and said in her heart: Are you going to hurt this child again...

She turned her head to look at the direction Xia Hua was running in, and immediately chased after her without worrying about anything else—at the same time, she summoned a razor in her hand that she hadn't used since the previous fox clan crusade, and slashed it Hold it tightly in your hand...

If you betray her, I will never show mercy this time, Shuten-douji.

Over the capital surrounded by smog, bursts of thunder rumbled, and a large amount of miasma poured down from the vortex, tightly surrounded by dense fog.

Yu Daoan ran to the avenue, no matter which street it was, it was silent, people who have not yet woken up, if they continue to absorb the miasma, their lives will be in danger-"Shuten-douji... What are you doing? ?” Yu Dao’an searched for Xia Hua’s figure in the miasma, but lost her direction unknowingly, and the voice that disgusted her kept coming in, accompanied by the low roar of a demon, which made her heart numb for a while. and confused.

At this time, Yu Dao'an stopped and stood silently on the spot without moving.At this moment, she was thinking in her heart, if Shuten-douji had been deceiving them from the beginning, would he go back to Iori's mansion now?

At least, Iori Hime is the central figure in this purification ceremony... As long as she is killed, will all this be as he wished?

Yu Daoan thought in her heart, raised her head to look at the huge purple vortex above, and was stunned for a while: "Huh?" At this moment, she realized that a large number of monsters had fallen from the vortex, and looking at the avenue in front of her, a layer of deep purple The demonic aura within him was so condensed that even the naked eye could see it.

"However, are you going to find him and kill him just like this?" Just as she was surprised by the scene in front of her, a dark figure suddenly appeared beside her - Hua Piao!

"Shua Piao?!" Yu Daoan was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at him and was stunned: "You...why are you here...?"

"..." The silver-haired monster in front of him looked at her, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help raising an inexplicable arc: "Because I have something to do here."

"..." Yu Daoan was silent for a moment, then quickly shifted his gaze to the vortex above, and slowly opened his mouth: "Jiutun boy... as expected, he still has to die."

"..." Hua Piao was stunned for a moment, her gray eyes fell on her, with inexplicable emotions... "Do you... want to avenge Yu Daoyin?"

"...Well." Thinking that her own sister died at the hands of that Shuten-douji, Yu Daoan didn't hesitate, and quickly said: "...Thinking about it is crazy..." Yu Daoan clenched her hands tightly at this time With the razor in his hand, he frowned slightly and said, "But Xia Hua...she likes him so much——I can't do it."

"..." Hua Piao lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his voice, and said in a voice that could only be heard by Yu Dao'an, "Don't worry, he will get what you want soon." The voice at this time revealed dissatisfaction. The gentleness and a little bit of evil that made him feel, lingered in Yu Dao's mind all of a sudden—"..." Yu Dao's eyes widened, as if she hadn't heard Hua Piao's words just now: "You..." Yu Dao'an Dao Eucalyptus turned her head, and suddenly found that the atmosphere was a bit weird, "What are you doing here..." She didn't think about it, and said it directly according to her own thoughts.

"..." Hua Piao looked at her, then raised her head to look at the vortex above, took a deep breath and said, "Do you still remember when you and Yu Dao Yin came to my Edo?"

"..." Yu Daoan frowned, feeling that it was really not a pleasant memory.It was because of that time that Xia Hua was taken away by the big tengu, and even fell into the hands of Shuten Doji and was tortured in every way: "At that time...you saved my life, but you still blamed your fox clan... "The monster in front of her looked at her, her gray eyes seemed to be hesitating, but the smell of tobacco from his body spread to Yu Dao's nose due to the cold wind, gradually calming down her heart.

"What's the matter?" Yu Daoan couldn't help but clenched the razor in her hand. Under the gaze of those gray eyes, she now felt as if she was frozen, unable to move even if she wanted to.

"Heh..." Hua Piao lowered her head as if giving up what she wanted to say at this moment, and suddenly laughed again: "Everything I do is for you... Yu Daoan." An inexplicable sentence was thrown out suddenly, Yu Dao'an's mind went blank for an instant—"You...what are you talking about?" Yu Dao'an's eyes widened, and she took a step back to calm herself down.

What are you doing now?What on earth is Hua Piao trying to say at this time...

Yu Daoan lowered her eyes, and said nothing in silence.

"I...before I ruled Edo, I had a wish..." Hua Piao looked at her, raised her hand to caress her long pale golden hair, but Yu Daoan seemed to refuse, and while moving back slightly, her cheek The long hair hanging down on one side was held tightly by Huapin: "I want...to create a world where humans and demons live together in peace..."

"..." Yu Daoan took a deep breath, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the slipper at this time, but her ears kept hearing the sound of the slipper—"For this wish... I don't know what I paid for it. How much—but when my wish was denied by the monsters around me, I realized that I must stand at the highest peak of the demon world to rule them...so, I must become the master of all monsters..." Hua scooped tightly The long hair in his hands, the soft touch he longed for countless times: "And your appearance has made me deepen my longing for this wish...I must realize it..." When Hua Piao said here , Yu Daoan seemed to understand something, and slowly raised her head - "I will give you a peaceful world, and no one will hurt you..." The existence of the fox clan, except for the famous Yu Zaoqian , has always been the cheapest.Thousands of years ago, fox demons were constantly being persecuted by other monsters and humans. Even if they gathered strong resentment, without knowledge and ability to survive, the fox clan still couldn't resist them.

Therefore, the unique Tamazamo lived in the human world for 18 years, gained a wealth of knowledge and special abilities, and led the fox clan to live again—the fox clan learned to resist, but after a setback 50 years ago In the midst of this, the fox clan fell into a silent 'death'... Until now, Yu Daoan, who took over the position of leader, faced no less risks in her future path than Yu Zaoqian.

"So...give me everything about you...I'll protect you and your tribe." Hua Piao said at this moment, gradually understanding Shuten-douji's thoughts about Tamamo-mae at that time.But something is different...

Because I don't want to see you bear those... so let me replace you...

This is Yuba's thinking, and the difference between him and Shuten-douji is that what Shuten-douji thinks is: Get rid of those obtrusive existences, come with me.

It was because of Shuten-douji like that that Tamamo-mae resisted him.

But he won't do that...

Hua Piao knew in her heart that it was because of Yu Dao'an that he gradually accepted such a miserable fox family, but this time he was so serious and persistent in wanting to help her.As long as she wants... she will do it herself - even, by whatever means.

"Shua Piao..." Yu Daoan looked at the monster in front of her, and couldn't help shaking her head: "Then...you said you were here to work...could it be—"

"This vortex... I am also one of the perpetrators..." Hua Piao's eyes were cold at this moment, but his cold voice still revealed his ethereal tenderness, and it slowly entered Yu Dao'an's ears: "Abe and I Mantra... I intend to revive Shuten-douji here—and then kill him." These words, like a heavy weight, fell straight into his heart, and Yu Daoan was instantly shocked, as if a flash appeared in his mind. In the white scene, I can't think of anything.

"Yu Dao Eucalyptus..." Hua Piao was about to say something at this moment, but a domineering voice interrupted them in an instant: "Hua Piao...I never thought you would be so interested at this time..." At this moment, A man in black flapped the black wings behind him, and slowly landed beside a brown-haired man who also rushed to the scene at this time—"Slider..." At this moment, a terrible sharp light appeared in his eyes, and With a low growl, he said, "Where is Shuten-douji?!"
