One Hundred Ways to Beat the Ghost King [Onmyoji]
Chapter 44 You Are My Only Weakness
Chapter 44
Ikeda Eri fell to the ground and shivered, tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably, the terrifying aura emanating from the monster above the high position made her unable to move.
She didn't expect that she would be kidnapped by monsters inexplicably on the street with people coming and going.
Legend has it that evil spirits love to suck the blood of young girls, and Eri Ikeda couldn't help crying in despair when she thought that she might die soon.
It's just that she sobbed for a long time, and the other party just drank his wine without giving her a superfluous look.
Jiu Tun naturally knew that he had caught the wrong person in a daze, but now he was exhausted, and he just wanted to get drunk with the wine gourd in his arms, and he didn't have to think about anything else.
And in the imperial palace in Kyoto, the subjects had already become arguing.
The daughter of Mr. Nagon Ikeda's family was kidnapped by monsters in broad daylight among the crowd, which immediately aroused extreme panic among the civilians.
After the onmyoji in the onmyoji divination that Ikeda Eri's location was southwest, the others immediately guessed that Shuten-douji must have done it.
In this world, there is no monster more daring than him.
The cold-faced Yin Yangzhu said in a sad voice at this moment: "What did I say earlier? The monsters are getting more and more rampant, we must not sit idly by!"
"In the past, it was only the civilians who suffered, but now the evil spirits have extended their claws to the powerful. Do you want to continue to shrink back!"
The chilly voice fell, and everyone present began to feel uneasy.
Zhong Nayan is a fourth-class official, and even his daughter has suffered misfortune, maybe they will be the next one!
Yin Yangtou sighed, and said sadly: "It seems that this time, we can no longer back down."
"You shouldn't have backed down last time!" Yin Yang, who had been advocating the retreat, said angrily, "The result of last time's backing down is to make the monsters think that we humans are easy to bully, so it will get worse!"
"This matter must not be let go, it must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor."
This time, when the danger may endanger his life, no one has any objections.
After the news was reported, even Emperor Ichijo was shocked, and then he quickly ordered General Minamoto Yorimitsu and his men to go to Oeyama to retreat and cure Shuten Doji.
"This news can't be revealed casually, be careful if the monster finds out and scares the snake."
Minamoto Yorimitsu and the others nodded and accepted the order, and set off immediately after paying homage to a nearby shrine.
After the orders were conveyed, Abe Seimei sighed wearily.
This time, he really couldn't stop it.
"Grandpa, did His Majesty the Emperor really issue such an order?" Yayoi Abe asked with a frown. He had just learned about the extermination of monsters from Yin Yangtou who said nothing.
Seimei Abe paused and nodded, "General Minamoto Yorimitsu and the others have been away for a few days."
"...Grandpa, why didn't you tell me!" Abe Yayoi said anxiously, "Shimizu is also with Shuten-douji, right? What if there is danger!"
Abe Qingming sighed slightly, and slowly told him about Chi Qingqing's request for help before, "So you don't have to worry, she is no longer in Dajiangshan."
"Besides, with Shuten's monster power, even General Minamoto Yorimitsu and the others cannot kill him." Seimei Abe analyzed in a deep voice, "His power is no longer what it used to be."
"I expected that the general's trip would be extremely dangerous, but I can no longer stop His Majesty's orders." Thinking of this incident, Abe Seimei had a headache.
However, he had privately predicted that Minamoto Raimiko and his party would encounter many dangerous monsters on the way, but they could save their lives in the end, so he let them go.
After a moment of silence, Yayoi Abe said in a low voice, "Grandpa, do you think...she has already chosen the camp of monsters?"
"Yayoi, it's not that she chose to become a monster, but the position of a monster chose her." Abe Seimei comforted her warmly.
"No, it was humans who forced her away." Yayoi Abe seemed a little disappointed, apparently not less upset by this matter.
"You don't need to worry about this matter, you should concentrate on investigating the evil spirits around the capital recently."
Yayoi Abe nodded, still a little uneasy and said: "Can I report to Shimizu again? I am still very worried that she will return to the great rivers and mountains..."
"...Forget it." Abe Seimei finally agreed to his request, took out the paper crane he had received before, and activated the word spirit technique to seal the words in it.
"Go back to your master."
The paper crane flew up lightly in an instant, and slowly disappeared into the sky.
Seeing this scene, Yayoi Abe finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was able to find Shimizu with this origami crane, otherwise she would have nowhere to find her even if she wanted to pass on a message.
*******
"...It's so noisy!"
With a decadent expression, Jiu Tun impatiently threw a wine gourd towards the ground, and the gourd exploded instantly on the jade-like floor, and the remaining wine glistened all over the floor.
Ikeda Eri's crying stopped abruptly, and her whole body was staring at the ground stiffly, feeling terrified in her heart.
Is this monster going to eat her?
I have a splitting headache, and it's been a long time since I've had a drink to this extent.
Putting one hand on his forehead, Jiu Tun frowned deeply and shook his head. After two minutes of sobriety, he said in a low voice, "Cry again, and I will throw you to feed the monster."
Ikeda Eri trembled and covered her mouth tightly in fear.
"My lord, why do you keep her here if you think she's annoying?" Prajna said emotionlessly in front of the temple gate, "Let her stay here for two more days, maybe she will starve to death, and it will pollute the world." to the palace."
Jiu Tun frowned slightly, just remembered that human beings need to drink water and eat frequently, and this human woman has been crying in the palace for almost two days.
Looking at the figure somewhat similar to her, Jiu Tun turned his head slightly, and said softly: "Throw her to the gate of the capital city."
Ikeda Eri was taken aback, she couldn't believe that the monster would let her go so easily.
"Yes." Banruo took the order, without any objection or hesitation, surrounded Ikeda Eri with a demonic aura, and took her out of the palace in an instant.
Closing his eyes, Jiu Tun took a deep breath, opened his eyes after a while, a trace of anger flashed in his lavender eyes.
"My uncle doesn't care about you these few days, everyone is in trouble, right?"
The sky-shattering roar resounded through the mountains and rivers through the monster aura, and all the monsters with their teeth and claws shrank their necks in fear.
Seeing that Shuten finally came to his senses temporarily and began to clean up the order in Dajiangshan, Ibaraki was slightly relieved and left the palace with peace of mind.
Jiu Tun was left in Dajiang Mountain, and he had to leave the territory at this time to investigate the weird monster. In the past two days, some monsters in Dajiang Mountain have been poisoned.
The journey of a hundred miles does not take much time for monsters, but it is a difficult journey for humans.
Minamoto Yorimitsu and his party spent a lot of time visiting the shrine, and then they took Watanabe Tsuna and other six people and set off slowly towards Oe Mountain. Halfway through, the sky suddenly became dark clouds and it began to rain.
The seven hurriedly borrowed shelter from the rain at a farmhouse on the side of the road, and a wine old man with a wine gourd on his body received them.
"Old man, why do you want to make your home here?" Minamoto Raimiko's deep and deep voice sounded, "This is near the place where monsters haunt, aren't you afraid that you will be in danger by yourself?"
Hearing this, the wine old man looked excited and said: "Anyway, I am the only one left in the family now. I have been living here to brew wine, just to avenge the evil spirits in the mountains and rivers one day!"
Watanabe Tsuna was startled, and quickly asked the wine old man about his past, and only then did the group know that when the wine old man was young, his whole family was killed by evil spirits in the mountains and rivers.
Fortunately, he was blessed by the gods in the shrine he had visited, and he escaped by luck.
The old man asked the gods how to take revenge on the evil spirits, and the gods said that the head of the evil spirits is addicted to alcohol, and he has a recipe for brewing divine wine, which is harmless to ordinary people, but it is fatal to monsters that cannot resist the temptation □□.
"This kind of divine wine, if the monster smells the scent of the wine, it will be confused and lose its ability to move. If you drink it, you will fall into a deep sleep, and you won't be able to wake up for three days and three nights!"
"I have brewed wine here by myself for many years, and now I have finally succeeded in brewing the divine wine, in order to have the opportunity to claim my life from the evil spirits."
Minamoto Raimitsu stood up abruptly, and the armor on his body collided with each other. He said in a deep voice, "To tell you the truth, we are ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to get rid of Shuten-douji!"
Hearing this, the wine old man's face was full of wrinkles, his eyes burst into light, "Is that true? Then, you will definitely be able to use this divine wine to knock down that evil spirit!"
"However, the Lord of Hundred Ghosts cannot be cut by ordinary swords. Please also give me your weapons and let me help you."
After finishing speaking, the wine old man took the weapons of several people and recast them with divine wine under the fire.
"This weapon casted by the divine wine will be so sharp that even evil spirits can't resist its sharpness. Also, I have the star armor that the gods gave me to protect me, and I will give it to you as well! "
After taking back the brand-new weapons, the wine and the star pocket armor, the rain outside the house also suddenly stopped, the dark clouds were blown away by the autumn wind, and the sun shone on the eaves with a light gold.
Yuan Laiguang and others immediately bid farewell to the old man with gratitude and joy, but after they left the farmhouse, the house disappeared out of thin air.
"It's a god! The gods of the shrine must be helping us!"
"It's the gods in the shrine who are clearly alive!" Minamoto Larimitsu looked serious, and everyone immediately worshiped in place.
On the tree in the distance, a dark figure watched this scene quietly.
The mask covered his original feminine appearance, and only his thick voice sounded with a chilly breath, "General Minamoto Yorimitsu... You were once someone I admired very much. Don't let me down in this battle." ah."
Although he didn't have much expectations, if he could really use the hands of these humans to avenge Shuten-douji, just thinking about it would make him very excited...
"Don't let down the demon wine I brewed so hard..."
After all, it took him so much time to collect the blood of hundreds of monsters, and to manipulate the puppets to brew it.It took a lot of effort to set a curse in the demon wine.
Although the demon wine has no effect on human beings, as long as it is drunk, it will crazily erode all the demon power of the monster.
Calmly, he secretly lurked behind Minamoto Raimiko and others.
*****
As usual, Ibaraki was investigating clues near the wreckage of the surrounding monsters, and soon unexpectedly bumped into Minamoto Raimitsu and his party.
The strength of this brave and skilled general among human beings should not be underestimated. Ibaraki had fought against him once many years ago, and now seeing this group of people appearing here, he immediately felt a little vigilant.
With a sudden movement of his heart, Ibaraki turned into a stunning young woman in embarrassing figure without changing his face. After Minamoto Raimitsu went to the river to fetch water with a few entourages, she stepped forward to inquire about the news.
Under the night, a woman appeared inexplicably at the campfire station, which immediately attracted the attention of Tsuna Watanabe and others who stayed at the camp.
Watanabe Tsuna put his hand on Mustache Kirito calmly, and asked in a deep voice: "...Who are you, why did you appear here in the middle of the night?"
"...I am a person from Kyoto Prefecture. When I went out to visit the temple, I was attacked by a monster. I managed to escape here by chance."
The long black hair covered half of her beautiful face, and it was impossible to see her expression clearly, but her soft and graceful voice sounded in the night, carrying an inexplicable and tempting power.
"...My lords, please help me."
As expected, everyone's expressions were in a trance for a moment, and they couldn't help letting go of their guard, "Is that so..."
"It's really unfortunate, stay here, and we will send you out of here tomorrow morning."
After thanking him, Ibaraki's eyes remained calm, and he approached Watanabe Tsuna slowly, and said softly: "This place is so dangerous, why are the adults here?"
When the masked man in the dark saw this scene, a dark light flashed in his pupils.
Watanabe Tsuna, who was in a trance, suddenly felt a shock, and then immediately woke up, pulled out his mustache and shouted loudly: "Of course... I'm here to kill you evil ghost!"
As soon as the words fell, the sharp mustache slammed at Ibaraki with lightning speed.
Seeing that his sorcery was seen through, Ibaraki took off his disguise calmly, and a white-haired monster wearing armor and horns on his head immediately appeared in front of everyone.
The three-tailed fox is good at the charm technique, he really doesn't learn it very well, but how can ordinary human weapons and sharp swords hurt a monster like him.
"Boring humans."
Ibaraki responded quickly in a low voice, not paying attention to the mustache in Tsuna Watanabe's hand, and stretched out a big hand with a terrifying and monster look, trying to pinch his neck in vain.
However, when the knife was raised and lowered, there was an unexpected sharp pain in his shoulder, which made him groan.
A severed hand fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, he narrowed his eyes, exuding a terrifying aura.
It was because he was too careless, this knife actually contained a profound demonic power.
The figure quickly retreated to avoid the next blow of Higakiri, and Ibaraki's other hand shot out a black flame without hesitation, instantly setting the camp on fire.
Not paying attention to the bleeding shoulder, Ibaraki stood still slightly, and in the next second, he saw a figure flashing past, with a faint ghostly aura in the passing night wind.
"Bold monster!" Tsuna Watanabe, who came back from fetching water, drew out his sharp blade and shouted sharply with ferocious eyes.
His eyes sank, and Ibaraki casually shot out another black flame to surround it, ignoring the scene of them wailing and being surrounded and swallowed by the black flame, he dodged to chase that figure.
The demonic aura was extremely weak, but it was too familiar, it was the aura that remained on the monster's corpse for the past few days.
The two demons chased after each other, without stopping all night.
The longer the chase, the weaker the evil spirit of that figure, and the slower and slower the speed.
Finally catching up with him, Ibaraki quickly dodged to block the road in front of him, and asked coldly: "Are you that monster who has been hunting and killing the same kind recently?"
It's unbelievable that the evil spirit is so weak, but the speed of escape is extremely fast.
With a chuckle, the masked man stopped slowly, and a deep voice sounded faintly, "Even so, so what?"
"Then die."
Hunting and killing the same kind is very common, but if you bully the monsters in the mountains and rivers, you can only send them to Yan Mo.
Ibaraki quickly attacked the masked man, but the man stood still and did not dodge at all, just smiled strangely.
"You really don't care about your arms at all."
As soon as the voice fell, the man in the mask was instantly blasted into pieces, but not a single drop of blood spattered out.
"Puppet?" Ibaraki's expression changed, his brows furrowed instantly, it was just a puppet, why did he tempt himself to chase him?
The wound on the shoulder suddenly felt a strange biting sensation for no reason.
******
In the encroaching camp, a few humans ran out in a state of embarrassment, and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately! Fortunately, there is a god's blessing."
"Thanks to the star pocket armor given to us by the gods, we were able to escape. This is such a treasure that was burned by that hateful monster." Tsuna Watanabe said with some heartache.
"The appearance of that monster... If I'm not mistaken, it's Ibaraki-douji?" A voice asked suspiciously.
Tsuna Watanabe nodded, raised his jaw slightly, wiped off the blood on his mustache, and was obviously very proud of himself for killing the demon.
He picked up Ibaraki's abandoned arm and wrapped it up like a trophy, and said with a sneer, "This monster is too arrogant and confident. Did he think that we would die under his hands so easily?"
Watanabe Tsunade's heart sank slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Even monsters are so cunning, without the Xingjiaojia, we must act cautiously."
"In my opinion, it's safer to pretend to be a monster and sneak into the mountains and rivers to offer wine to deceive the evil spirits."
Seeing the group kill the monsters and bathe their backs in the blood of the monsters, Ezaki Junpei said with an inexplicable expression: "It's really nerve-wracking to try to help you guys in every possible way."
After the words fell, his body began to burn out spontaneously, and it turned out to be just a puppet.
******
Chi Qingqing was practicing with her eyes closed in the forest at night, and clusters of wood charms slowly gathered around her.
In the still air, there was only the rustling of leaves.
After a while, she opened her eyes in frustration, leaned against the tree trunk and frowned slightly, looking at the crescent moon in the sky.
She couldn't calm down to practice at all, her mood was too chaotic.
"My lord, since you can't calm down and practice, why don't you take a good rest." Xuan Ji advised softly, her words were full of worry, "Your mood has been very unstable recently, and it's not a good time to practice illusion. , why not try to relax yourself first."
As for Chi Qingqing's state of mind, Xuan Ji, who is connected with the spirit of the other party, can naturally feel a little bit.
Xuanji was a little worried about her. People who practiced illusion must have a calm and calm personality, or an extremely tough heart, otherwise, once chaos arises in their hearts, it will be a very troublesome thing.
"never mind……"
Exhaling deeply, Chi Qingqing jumped under the tree, walked to the river, scooped up a handful of water and washed his face.
Under the night sky, a paper crane floated towards her unsteadily, Chi Qingqing's expression changed, isn't this the one she transmitted to Qingming?
The paper crane fell into her hands, and Abe Seimei's voice immediately rang out in the air.
After hearing Qingming's words sealed in the paper crane, Chi Qingqing's face turned pale, and her heart started beating wildly. She didn't care about anything, and hurried towards Dajiangshan like a gust of wind.
"My lord..." Feeling her fear, Xuan Ji cried out worriedly.
"What the hell is going on!" Chi Qingqing's anxious lips turned white, annoyed and unbelievable, "Didn't the previous retreat order be cancelled? Why did it suddenly start again!"
She has obviously left Dajiangshan and Jiutun?
Why is Minamoto Raimitsu still ordered to go to Mt. Oe to cure Shuten-doji?Are legends as irreversible as history?
Chi Qingqing felt dizzy at the thought that Jiu Tun might be killed as the legend turned out, and she would never see him again.
At this time, any wild prophecy and Ibaraki's request were all left behind by her, she just wanted to rush to him as soon as possible at this critical moment.
*****
After dealing with the affairs in the mountains and rivers and calming down a group of restless monsters, Jiu Tun asked softly with a tired expression, "Where's Ibaraki?"
"Master Ibaraki went out at dusk today, and he hasn't come back yet." Tanuki said while hiccupping.
The raccoon cat shook the empty wine jar, couldn't help but fell to the ground and muttered: "Ah...my king actually drank all the wine in the palace these few days...not a single drop is left."
"Have you gone to investigate about that monster?"
Jiu Tun frowned, but he couldn't calm down, as long as he was free, he would always think about her.
"Lord Jiuten, some strange monsters came from the mountainside and want to serve you." Banruo quietly appeared at the entrance of the temple under the night, and said cautiously.
Jiu Tun is in a very bad mood today. The monsters are more crazy than usual. Many small groups use the strange monster to stir up troubles and stir up emotions. The pheasant flies and the dog jumps.
Then Jiu Tun got angry and beat all the monsters himself, everyone was scared and hid in their dens, not daring to come out to make trouble again, the monster fair was deserted.
Jiu Tun waved his hand impatiently, "You know how to do this kind of thing, just teach them the rules, don't bother me."
"Then, you ask Liu Ji to fetch some wine from Granny Jiu."
He hadn't had a drink all day, and now his whole body was clamoring for unhappiness.
At night, I can't stop not thinking of her. Only when I'm intoxicated with wine can I feel less pain.
"... Those monsters said that in order to express their respect to my king, they brought you special wine." Banruo said, looking at his face.
"Ah! I've got some wine to drink, my king, let those monsters come in!" The civet cat, who was addicted to alcohol and had no alcohol, immediately jumped up and down.
Jiu Tun tilted his head, squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, "Then let Liu Ji bring them over."
Soon Liu Ji walked in with lotus steps and led in a few monsters that looked no different from humans.
Sensing the extremely weak monster power and bloody smell from the group of people, Jiu Tun turned his head, his lavender eyes showed no emotion, "You guys are really the weakest monsters I have ever seen."
Minamoto Raimiko knelt on the ground and saluted without changing his expression, and they untied the wine gourds from their waists.
After bathing the whole body with the blood of the monster, it can cover the human breath on the body.
Watanabe Tsuna smiled and said: "I made the ghost king laugh, we are indeed weak in demon power, but we are good at brewing wine!"
"Lord Jiuten is the most powerful monster in the world, and we are willing to serve Master Jiuten!" Another man said flatteringly, "I heard that Master Jiuten likes to drink the most. Our brothers spent a hundred years brewing a kind of immortal wine. Come here to dedicate it to the adults."
"Yes! I wonder if we can drink together with my king and all the monsters?"
Hearing this, Jiu Tun chuckled, "Do you know how to do what you like, and exchange wine for my uncle's protection?"
After the words fell, he lowered his eyes and gave Banruo a look calmly.
Prajna understood, and immediately ordered: "Liu Ji, come and serve the bar."
Liu Ji understood what he and Jiu Tun meant, stepped forward to take the wine gourd, poured seven glasses of wine into the glazed stone cup, and put them one by one on the monsters who were born in front of them.
Minamoto Larimitsu and others exchanged glances calmly, knowing that the other party was testing them, and then drank the divine wine without hesitation, all showing a fascinated look.
An unheard of strange fragrance wafts in the air, and one cannot but be intoxicated in it willingly.
Banruo's originally calm eyes began to become intoxicated, and Liu Ji, who had low demon power, smelled the aroma of wine and immediately passed out and passed out.
Only the civet cat, who was also addicted to alcohol, dodged a wine gourd from Minamoto Raimiko with red eyes and began to drink wildly.
"Oh my god! Master Shuten, the civet cat has never drank such delicious demon wine... hiccup." The civet cat hugged the wine gourd and began to roll on the ground.
Seeing Ryuhime who was serving the wine passed away drunk, Minamoto Raimiko's expression flickered, and he put on a flattering smile, and came to Jiu Tun himself with the wine glass.
"My lord, why don't you give it a try? Let us know whether this divine wine suits your taste or not!"
The aroma of the wine has an irresistible attraction for the monster, Jiu Tun subconsciously took the glass of wine.
Different from the scarlet color of the demon wine in Dajiang Mountain, the black and red color of this wine seems to reveal an indelible ink color, with an extremely strong smell of blood.
For the alcoholic Shuten, this kind of wine has an indescribable attraction, he looked a little dazed, took it hesitantly and took a sip.
However, just when the glass of wine touched the tip of his tongue, he immediately smashed the glass out fiercely. The aroma of the wine permeated the hall and became more and more intense, and Hannya also began to wobble and fell to the ground unconscious.
Although the fishy sweetness tasted was irresistible to Shuten, the only trace of reason left in his heart still made him a little unstable and quickly dodged the slash from Minamoto Raimitsu.
There is indeed a problem.
A woman with low demon power like Liu Ji passed out when she asked about the smell of wine, but these monsters were fine.
"...You guys, aren't you monsters?"
After dodging the weapon, Jiu Tun's expression froze, but he found a sense of powerlessness in his body, as if countless bugs were devouring his demon power in his body.
Seeing that Jiu Tun had seen through their identities, the group of people looked shocked, and then desperately drew out the weapons at their waists, wanting to fight them to the death.
"Evil ghost! Sue to death!" Yuan Laiguang slashed at him vigorously with a righteous face and sharp eyes.
Jiu Tun quickly dodges again and barely stands still, trying to take out the ghost gourd, but feels that the ghost gourd is as heavy as a thousand catties.
The smell of wine in the hall has been wafting like a thick fog that cannot be dissolved. Feeling that the smell will disturb his judgment, he frowned and held his breath slightly.
"I'm going to deal with this evil spirit, and quickly kill those monsters that harm mankind!" Minamoto Raimiko looked ready to sacrifice himself, "Even if we are buried here today, we must kill this evil spirit!" Ghosts can do it!"
"Fight for humanity! Revenge for the dead civilians and Ms. Ikeda!" A samurai shouted with red eyes, raised his knife and slashed at the sleepy Tanuki.
Jiu Tun's eyes sank, and he dodged like a gust of wind in an instant, picking up the civet cat's tail to avoid the fatal blow.
His mind became more and more dizzy, and the picture began to become dim and blurred. Another warrior raised his sword and attacked Liu Ji's neck.
Throwing the civet cat far away, Jiu Tun punched the warrior three meters away with a fierce expression, his head was dizzy, and he staggered a few steps.
I just took a sip of the demon wine just now, and now it has quickly started to play a role.
Some monsters outside the palace sensed something was wrong and came to inspect it, but all of them were lost in the smell of wine wafting out of the palace.
Taking advantage of the last sobriety and the remaining strength, Jiu Tun's eyes darkened, and he was about to crush all these evil-minded humans to death, but his actions inevitably became sluggish.
Yuan Laiguang and others were not affected by the smell of wine, and the more they fought, the more they gained the upper hand, and they became more and more excited.
"He's powerless to resist!"
Jiu Tun dodged the deadly knife again, Minamoto Raikou's lightning-like figure struck again, the monster power in his body seemed to have fallen asleep, and even he began to fall asleep.
The girl with black hair and green eyes frowned slightly, and her voice flashed in his mind.
Alcohol is a dangerous thing and should not be touched casually.
For some reason, at this moment when his life was extremely threatened, his expression was in a trance, but he thought of the night at the Monster Tavern.
What came to mind was her face and her words.
In just a split second, Jiu Tun regained consciousness, knowing that he was affected by the smell of wine.However, during this hesitation, Minamoto Raimitsu's deadly knife had already approached him.
"...I never expected that my uncle would have such a miserable day." Jiu Tun murmured softly.
Losing the ability to wake up and judge for a woman, even thinking about her face at the last moment of life.
However, when the knife rose and fell, it suddenly hit his side heavily.
Minamoto Raimiko and the group seemed to be possessed, roaring loudly with red eyes, slashing wildly at the air with their giant blades.
"Chop off his head!"
"There are still these monsters, none of them can be left behind!"
"You can't live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
Jiu Tun was startled, and immediately spotted the familiar figure standing at the entrance of the hall.
The hair in front of her forehead was messy, her head was covered with sweat, and her eyes were somewhat crystal clear, flickering with fear and happiness hidden in them.
Quickly passing through several humans who had fallen into the illusion, Chi Qingqing ran to Jiu Tun's side panting heavily, hugging him tightly with a trembling body, unable to speak a single word in extreme panic.
Jiu Tun was already weak all over, and was knocked backward by her, and both of them fell to the ground.
Noticing that the look in her eyes had also become intoxicated, Jiu Tun's heart shuddered, and he said weakly and quickly: "Hold your breath, don't smell the alcohol."
"...I'm fine." Chi Qingqing shook her head vigorously, shaking off the inexplicable images that appeared in her mind.
She is a half-demon, and she was not affected as much as they were. After realizing this, Jiu Tun immediately grabbed her hand and said anxiously: "Outside the palace!"
"There is a bead on the high pavilion outside the hall, use your demon power to touch it, it is the enchantment of Dajiangshan."
Chi Qingqing understands that what Yuan Laiguang and others see at this moment is all fake, and her illusion can't last long, so she must open the enchantment immediately before she gets drunk, otherwise both of them will be finished when they escape from the illusion .
She began to feel weak all over, quickly held her breath, pulled herself together and jumped to the high pavilion outside the hall, and slapped heavily on the faintly glowing pearl.
The entire gorgeous palace immediately radiated dazzling light like a fairyland, and an enchantment instantly enveloped the entire Dajiang Mountain.
In the hall, the seven people who were slashing at the air suddenly disappeared in the palace, and were bounced far below the foot of the mountain by the enchantment.
It took a while for the sweaty faces of the seven to wake up from the false picture, and they looked at each other in amazement.
"...Just now, are we just dreaming?"
Minamoto Raimitsu said uncertainly: "I remember that I clearly chopped off that evil spirit's brain..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Minamoto Laiguang saw the knife without a trace of blood, and his face turned pale.
"I... I also remember that I killed a lot of monsters, why did we suddenly appear here?"
Bubu Jiwu said in amazement, he raised his foot and tried to walk into the mountain, but was blocked by an invisible wall.
"..."
"Things seem tricky. It's too dangerous here at night. Let's leave first..."
******
The enchantment of Dajiangshan will prevent humans from entering here, Minamoto Laiguang and others were ejected, and Chi Qingqing did not feel well.She is a half-demon. At this moment, she was weakened by the smell of wine and repelled by the barrier, so she suddenly felt unable to move an inch.
After taking two steps, her feet went limp, and she fell straight into Jiu Tun's arms.
"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Jiu Tunqiang cheered up, looked at her nervously, and then ignited all the demonic wine in the hall with the last trace of demonic power in his body.
The demon wine burned violently and began to emit a more intense aroma, both of them drowsy.
Chi Qingqing leaned against his arms with a pale face, her nerves that had been tense all the time suddenly relaxed, and she burst into tears.
"...Why are you so stupid!"
"Aren't you the strongest monster in the world? Didn't you say that no one can beat you?"
"Those humans, no matter how many times there are, they are not your opponents, are they!"
"How can you be so stupid to get yourself into such a mess."
There was unconcealable fear and trembling in the words.
Roaring with all her strength, choked with sobs, she suddenly felt that her brain was short of oxygen, and her eyes were dim.
Hearing these words, Jiu Tun hugged her tightly, and suddenly laughed lowly, his lavender eyes sparkled, "Are... are you crying for me?"
"...Are you still in the mood to laugh at this time?" Chi Qingqing closed her eyes and buried them in the pit of his neck, tears gushing out like a fountain, "Do you know, I'm almost scared to death."
The fire was burning violently, the temperature of the whole body began to rise gradually, and the original rich aroma of wine also began to slowly evaporate.
Jiu Tun took a deep breath, hugged her weak body, and whispered softly: "I am the strongest monster in the world, only you can defeat me."
"You are my only weakness, the one who will make me stupid is you."
"...See, you will make me lose my mind and become not like myself. So promise me, no matter what the reason is, don't leave me again..."
After finishing the words, he hugged her and kissed her deeply on her lips.
Feeling that the enchantment of Mt. Oe was touched, Ibaraki, who was rushing back, was stunned and rushed towards the palace at a faster speed.
When he rushed out of the palace, what he saw was a fire burning on the ground inside the house, and two people who were lying on the ground not far away hugged and kissed.
There is an uncomfortable smell of wine in the air, which is getting stronger and stronger as the night wind blows
Ikeda Eri fell to the ground and shivered, tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably, the terrifying aura emanating from the monster above the high position made her unable to move.
She didn't expect that she would be kidnapped by monsters inexplicably on the street with people coming and going.
Legend has it that evil spirits love to suck the blood of young girls, and Eri Ikeda couldn't help crying in despair when she thought that she might die soon.
It's just that she sobbed for a long time, and the other party just drank his wine without giving her a superfluous look.
Jiu Tun naturally knew that he had caught the wrong person in a daze, but now he was exhausted, and he just wanted to get drunk with the wine gourd in his arms, and he didn't have to think about anything else.
And in the imperial palace in Kyoto, the subjects had already become arguing.
The daughter of Mr. Nagon Ikeda's family was kidnapped by monsters in broad daylight among the crowd, which immediately aroused extreme panic among the civilians.
After the onmyoji in the onmyoji divination that Ikeda Eri's location was southwest, the others immediately guessed that Shuten-douji must have done it.
In this world, there is no monster more daring than him.
The cold-faced Yin Yangzhu said in a sad voice at this moment: "What did I say earlier? The monsters are getting more and more rampant, we must not sit idly by!"
"In the past, it was only the civilians who suffered, but now the evil spirits have extended their claws to the powerful. Do you want to continue to shrink back!"
The chilly voice fell, and everyone present began to feel uneasy.
Zhong Nayan is a fourth-class official, and even his daughter has suffered misfortune, maybe they will be the next one!
Yin Yangtou sighed, and said sadly: "It seems that this time, we can no longer back down."
"You shouldn't have backed down last time!" Yin Yang, who had been advocating the retreat, said angrily, "The result of last time's backing down is to make the monsters think that we humans are easy to bully, so it will get worse!"
"This matter must not be let go, it must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor."
This time, when the danger may endanger his life, no one has any objections.
After the news was reported, even Emperor Ichijo was shocked, and then he quickly ordered General Minamoto Yorimitsu and his men to go to Oeyama to retreat and cure Shuten Doji.
"This news can't be revealed casually, be careful if the monster finds out and scares the snake."
Minamoto Yorimitsu and the others nodded and accepted the order, and set off immediately after paying homage to a nearby shrine.
After the orders were conveyed, Abe Seimei sighed wearily.
This time, he really couldn't stop it.
"Grandpa, did His Majesty the Emperor really issue such an order?" Yayoi Abe asked with a frown. He had just learned about the extermination of monsters from Yin Yangtou who said nothing.
Seimei Abe paused and nodded, "General Minamoto Yorimitsu and the others have been away for a few days."
"...Grandpa, why didn't you tell me!" Abe Yayoi said anxiously, "Shimizu is also with Shuten-douji, right? What if there is danger!"
Abe Qingming sighed slightly, and slowly told him about Chi Qingqing's request for help before, "So you don't have to worry, she is no longer in Dajiangshan."
"Besides, with Shuten's monster power, even General Minamoto Yorimitsu and the others cannot kill him." Seimei Abe analyzed in a deep voice, "His power is no longer what it used to be."
"I expected that the general's trip would be extremely dangerous, but I can no longer stop His Majesty's orders." Thinking of this incident, Abe Seimei had a headache.
However, he had privately predicted that Minamoto Raimiko and his party would encounter many dangerous monsters on the way, but they could save their lives in the end, so he let them go.
After a moment of silence, Yayoi Abe said in a low voice, "Grandpa, do you think...she has already chosen the camp of monsters?"
"Yayoi, it's not that she chose to become a monster, but the position of a monster chose her." Abe Seimei comforted her warmly.
"No, it was humans who forced her away." Yayoi Abe seemed a little disappointed, apparently not less upset by this matter.
"You don't need to worry about this matter, you should concentrate on investigating the evil spirits around the capital recently."
Yayoi Abe nodded, still a little uneasy and said: "Can I report to Shimizu again? I am still very worried that she will return to the great rivers and mountains..."
"...Forget it." Abe Seimei finally agreed to his request, took out the paper crane he had received before, and activated the word spirit technique to seal the words in it.
"Go back to your master."
The paper crane flew up lightly in an instant, and slowly disappeared into the sky.
Seeing this scene, Yayoi Abe finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was able to find Shimizu with this origami crane, otherwise she would have nowhere to find her even if she wanted to pass on a message.
*******
"...It's so noisy!"
With a decadent expression, Jiu Tun impatiently threw a wine gourd towards the ground, and the gourd exploded instantly on the jade-like floor, and the remaining wine glistened all over the floor.
Ikeda Eri's crying stopped abruptly, and her whole body was staring at the ground stiffly, feeling terrified in her heart.
Is this monster going to eat her?
I have a splitting headache, and it's been a long time since I've had a drink to this extent.
Putting one hand on his forehead, Jiu Tun frowned deeply and shook his head. After two minutes of sobriety, he said in a low voice, "Cry again, and I will throw you to feed the monster."
Ikeda Eri trembled and covered her mouth tightly in fear.
"My lord, why do you keep her here if you think she's annoying?" Prajna said emotionlessly in front of the temple gate, "Let her stay here for two more days, maybe she will starve to death, and it will pollute the world." to the palace."
Jiu Tun frowned slightly, just remembered that human beings need to drink water and eat frequently, and this human woman has been crying in the palace for almost two days.
Looking at the figure somewhat similar to her, Jiu Tun turned his head slightly, and said softly: "Throw her to the gate of the capital city."
Ikeda Eri was taken aback, she couldn't believe that the monster would let her go so easily.
"Yes." Banruo took the order, without any objection or hesitation, surrounded Ikeda Eri with a demonic aura, and took her out of the palace in an instant.
Closing his eyes, Jiu Tun took a deep breath, opened his eyes after a while, a trace of anger flashed in his lavender eyes.
"My uncle doesn't care about you these few days, everyone is in trouble, right?"
The sky-shattering roar resounded through the mountains and rivers through the monster aura, and all the monsters with their teeth and claws shrank their necks in fear.
Seeing that Shuten finally came to his senses temporarily and began to clean up the order in Dajiangshan, Ibaraki was slightly relieved and left the palace with peace of mind.
Jiu Tun was left in Dajiang Mountain, and he had to leave the territory at this time to investigate the weird monster. In the past two days, some monsters in Dajiang Mountain have been poisoned.
The journey of a hundred miles does not take much time for monsters, but it is a difficult journey for humans.
Minamoto Yorimitsu and his party spent a lot of time visiting the shrine, and then they took Watanabe Tsuna and other six people and set off slowly towards Oe Mountain. Halfway through, the sky suddenly became dark clouds and it began to rain.
The seven hurriedly borrowed shelter from the rain at a farmhouse on the side of the road, and a wine old man with a wine gourd on his body received them.
"Old man, why do you want to make your home here?" Minamoto Raimiko's deep and deep voice sounded, "This is near the place where monsters haunt, aren't you afraid that you will be in danger by yourself?"
Hearing this, the wine old man looked excited and said: "Anyway, I am the only one left in the family now. I have been living here to brew wine, just to avenge the evil spirits in the mountains and rivers one day!"
Watanabe Tsuna was startled, and quickly asked the wine old man about his past, and only then did the group know that when the wine old man was young, his whole family was killed by evil spirits in the mountains and rivers.
Fortunately, he was blessed by the gods in the shrine he had visited, and he escaped by luck.
The old man asked the gods how to take revenge on the evil spirits, and the gods said that the head of the evil spirits is addicted to alcohol, and he has a recipe for brewing divine wine, which is harmless to ordinary people, but it is fatal to monsters that cannot resist the temptation □□.
"This kind of divine wine, if the monster smells the scent of the wine, it will be confused and lose its ability to move. If you drink it, you will fall into a deep sleep, and you won't be able to wake up for three days and three nights!"
"I have brewed wine here by myself for many years, and now I have finally succeeded in brewing the divine wine, in order to have the opportunity to claim my life from the evil spirits."
Minamoto Raimitsu stood up abruptly, and the armor on his body collided with each other. He said in a deep voice, "To tell you the truth, we are ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to get rid of Shuten-douji!"
Hearing this, the wine old man's face was full of wrinkles, his eyes burst into light, "Is that true? Then, you will definitely be able to use this divine wine to knock down that evil spirit!"
"However, the Lord of Hundred Ghosts cannot be cut by ordinary swords. Please also give me your weapons and let me help you."
After finishing speaking, the wine old man took the weapons of several people and recast them with divine wine under the fire.
"This weapon casted by the divine wine will be so sharp that even evil spirits can't resist its sharpness. Also, I have the star armor that the gods gave me to protect me, and I will give it to you as well! "
After taking back the brand-new weapons, the wine and the star pocket armor, the rain outside the house also suddenly stopped, the dark clouds were blown away by the autumn wind, and the sun shone on the eaves with a light gold.
Yuan Laiguang and others immediately bid farewell to the old man with gratitude and joy, but after they left the farmhouse, the house disappeared out of thin air.
"It's a god! The gods of the shrine must be helping us!"
"It's the gods in the shrine who are clearly alive!" Minamoto Larimitsu looked serious, and everyone immediately worshiped in place.
On the tree in the distance, a dark figure watched this scene quietly.
The mask covered his original feminine appearance, and only his thick voice sounded with a chilly breath, "General Minamoto Yorimitsu... You were once someone I admired very much. Don't let me down in this battle." ah."
Although he didn't have much expectations, if he could really use the hands of these humans to avenge Shuten-douji, just thinking about it would make him very excited...
"Don't let down the demon wine I brewed so hard..."
After all, it took him so much time to collect the blood of hundreds of monsters, and to manipulate the puppets to brew it.It took a lot of effort to set a curse in the demon wine.
Although the demon wine has no effect on human beings, as long as it is drunk, it will crazily erode all the demon power of the monster.
Calmly, he secretly lurked behind Minamoto Raimiko and others.
*****
As usual, Ibaraki was investigating clues near the wreckage of the surrounding monsters, and soon unexpectedly bumped into Minamoto Raimitsu and his party.
The strength of this brave and skilled general among human beings should not be underestimated. Ibaraki had fought against him once many years ago, and now seeing this group of people appearing here, he immediately felt a little vigilant.
With a sudden movement of his heart, Ibaraki turned into a stunning young woman in embarrassing figure without changing his face. After Minamoto Raimitsu went to the river to fetch water with a few entourages, she stepped forward to inquire about the news.
Under the night, a woman appeared inexplicably at the campfire station, which immediately attracted the attention of Tsuna Watanabe and others who stayed at the camp.
Watanabe Tsuna put his hand on Mustache Kirito calmly, and asked in a deep voice: "...Who are you, why did you appear here in the middle of the night?"
"...I am a person from Kyoto Prefecture. When I went out to visit the temple, I was attacked by a monster. I managed to escape here by chance."
The long black hair covered half of her beautiful face, and it was impossible to see her expression clearly, but her soft and graceful voice sounded in the night, carrying an inexplicable and tempting power.
"...My lords, please help me."
As expected, everyone's expressions were in a trance for a moment, and they couldn't help letting go of their guard, "Is that so..."
"It's really unfortunate, stay here, and we will send you out of here tomorrow morning."
After thanking him, Ibaraki's eyes remained calm, and he approached Watanabe Tsuna slowly, and said softly: "This place is so dangerous, why are the adults here?"
When the masked man in the dark saw this scene, a dark light flashed in his pupils.
Watanabe Tsuna, who was in a trance, suddenly felt a shock, and then immediately woke up, pulled out his mustache and shouted loudly: "Of course... I'm here to kill you evil ghost!"
As soon as the words fell, the sharp mustache slammed at Ibaraki with lightning speed.
Seeing that his sorcery was seen through, Ibaraki took off his disguise calmly, and a white-haired monster wearing armor and horns on his head immediately appeared in front of everyone.
The three-tailed fox is good at the charm technique, he really doesn't learn it very well, but how can ordinary human weapons and sharp swords hurt a monster like him.
"Boring humans."
Ibaraki responded quickly in a low voice, not paying attention to the mustache in Tsuna Watanabe's hand, and stretched out a big hand with a terrifying and monster look, trying to pinch his neck in vain.
However, when the knife was raised and lowered, there was an unexpected sharp pain in his shoulder, which made him groan.
A severed hand fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, he narrowed his eyes, exuding a terrifying aura.
It was because he was too careless, this knife actually contained a profound demonic power.
The figure quickly retreated to avoid the next blow of Higakiri, and Ibaraki's other hand shot out a black flame without hesitation, instantly setting the camp on fire.
Not paying attention to the bleeding shoulder, Ibaraki stood still slightly, and in the next second, he saw a figure flashing past, with a faint ghostly aura in the passing night wind.
"Bold monster!" Tsuna Watanabe, who came back from fetching water, drew out his sharp blade and shouted sharply with ferocious eyes.
His eyes sank, and Ibaraki casually shot out another black flame to surround it, ignoring the scene of them wailing and being surrounded and swallowed by the black flame, he dodged to chase that figure.
The demonic aura was extremely weak, but it was too familiar, it was the aura that remained on the monster's corpse for the past few days.
The two demons chased after each other, without stopping all night.
The longer the chase, the weaker the evil spirit of that figure, and the slower and slower the speed.
Finally catching up with him, Ibaraki quickly dodged to block the road in front of him, and asked coldly: "Are you that monster who has been hunting and killing the same kind recently?"
It's unbelievable that the evil spirit is so weak, but the speed of escape is extremely fast.
With a chuckle, the masked man stopped slowly, and a deep voice sounded faintly, "Even so, so what?"
"Then die."
Hunting and killing the same kind is very common, but if you bully the monsters in the mountains and rivers, you can only send them to Yan Mo.
Ibaraki quickly attacked the masked man, but the man stood still and did not dodge at all, just smiled strangely.
"You really don't care about your arms at all."
As soon as the voice fell, the man in the mask was instantly blasted into pieces, but not a single drop of blood spattered out.
"Puppet?" Ibaraki's expression changed, his brows furrowed instantly, it was just a puppet, why did he tempt himself to chase him?
The wound on the shoulder suddenly felt a strange biting sensation for no reason.
******
In the encroaching camp, a few humans ran out in a state of embarrassment, and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately! Fortunately, there is a god's blessing."
"Thanks to the star pocket armor given to us by the gods, we were able to escape. This is such a treasure that was burned by that hateful monster." Tsuna Watanabe said with some heartache.
"The appearance of that monster... If I'm not mistaken, it's Ibaraki-douji?" A voice asked suspiciously.
Tsuna Watanabe nodded, raised his jaw slightly, wiped off the blood on his mustache, and was obviously very proud of himself for killing the demon.
He picked up Ibaraki's abandoned arm and wrapped it up like a trophy, and said with a sneer, "This monster is too arrogant and confident. Did he think that we would die under his hands so easily?"
Watanabe Tsunade's heart sank slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Even monsters are so cunning, without the Xingjiaojia, we must act cautiously."
"In my opinion, it's safer to pretend to be a monster and sneak into the mountains and rivers to offer wine to deceive the evil spirits."
Seeing the group kill the monsters and bathe their backs in the blood of the monsters, Ezaki Junpei said with an inexplicable expression: "It's really nerve-wracking to try to help you guys in every possible way."
After the words fell, his body began to burn out spontaneously, and it turned out to be just a puppet.
******
Chi Qingqing was practicing with her eyes closed in the forest at night, and clusters of wood charms slowly gathered around her.
In the still air, there was only the rustling of leaves.
After a while, she opened her eyes in frustration, leaned against the tree trunk and frowned slightly, looking at the crescent moon in the sky.
She couldn't calm down to practice at all, her mood was too chaotic.
"My lord, since you can't calm down and practice, why don't you take a good rest." Xuan Ji advised softly, her words were full of worry, "Your mood has been very unstable recently, and it's not a good time to practice illusion. , why not try to relax yourself first."
As for Chi Qingqing's state of mind, Xuan Ji, who is connected with the spirit of the other party, can naturally feel a little bit.
Xuanji was a little worried about her. People who practiced illusion must have a calm and calm personality, or an extremely tough heart, otherwise, once chaos arises in their hearts, it will be a very troublesome thing.
"never mind……"
Exhaling deeply, Chi Qingqing jumped under the tree, walked to the river, scooped up a handful of water and washed his face.
Under the night sky, a paper crane floated towards her unsteadily, Chi Qingqing's expression changed, isn't this the one she transmitted to Qingming?
The paper crane fell into her hands, and Abe Seimei's voice immediately rang out in the air.
After hearing Qingming's words sealed in the paper crane, Chi Qingqing's face turned pale, and her heart started beating wildly. She didn't care about anything, and hurried towards Dajiangshan like a gust of wind.
"My lord..." Feeling her fear, Xuan Ji cried out worriedly.
"What the hell is going on!" Chi Qingqing's anxious lips turned white, annoyed and unbelievable, "Didn't the previous retreat order be cancelled? Why did it suddenly start again!"
She has obviously left Dajiangshan and Jiutun?
Why is Minamoto Raimitsu still ordered to go to Mt. Oe to cure Shuten-doji?Are legends as irreversible as history?
Chi Qingqing felt dizzy at the thought that Jiu Tun might be killed as the legend turned out, and she would never see him again.
At this time, any wild prophecy and Ibaraki's request were all left behind by her, she just wanted to rush to him as soon as possible at this critical moment.
*****
After dealing with the affairs in the mountains and rivers and calming down a group of restless monsters, Jiu Tun asked softly with a tired expression, "Where's Ibaraki?"
"Master Ibaraki went out at dusk today, and he hasn't come back yet." Tanuki said while hiccupping.
The raccoon cat shook the empty wine jar, couldn't help but fell to the ground and muttered: "Ah...my king actually drank all the wine in the palace these few days...not a single drop is left."
"Have you gone to investigate about that monster?"
Jiu Tun frowned, but he couldn't calm down, as long as he was free, he would always think about her.
"Lord Jiuten, some strange monsters came from the mountainside and want to serve you." Banruo quietly appeared at the entrance of the temple under the night, and said cautiously.
Jiu Tun is in a very bad mood today. The monsters are more crazy than usual. Many small groups use the strange monster to stir up troubles and stir up emotions. The pheasant flies and the dog jumps.
Then Jiu Tun got angry and beat all the monsters himself, everyone was scared and hid in their dens, not daring to come out to make trouble again, the monster fair was deserted.
Jiu Tun waved his hand impatiently, "You know how to do this kind of thing, just teach them the rules, don't bother me."
"Then, you ask Liu Ji to fetch some wine from Granny Jiu."
He hadn't had a drink all day, and now his whole body was clamoring for unhappiness.
At night, I can't stop not thinking of her. Only when I'm intoxicated with wine can I feel less pain.
"... Those monsters said that in order to express their respect to my king, they brought you special wine." Banruo said, looking at his face.
"Ah! I've got some wine to drink, my king, let those monsters come in!" The civet cat, who was addicted to alcohol and had no alcohol, immediately jumped up and down.
Jiu Tun tilted his head, squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, "Then let Liu Ji bring them over."
Soon Liu Ji walked in with lotus steps and led in a few monsters that looked no different from humans.
Sensing the extremely weak monster power and bloody smell from the group of people, Jiu Tun turned his head, his lavender eyes showed no emotion, "You guys are really the weakest monsters I have ever seen."
Minamoto Raimiko knelt on the ground and saluted without changing his expression, and they untied the wine gourds from their waists.
After bathing the whole body with the blood of the monster, it can cover the human breath on the body.
Watanabe Tsuna smiled and said: "I made the ghost king laugh, we are indeed weak in demon power, but we are good at brewing wine!"
"Lord Jiuten is the most powerful monster in the world, and we are willing to serve Master Jiuten!" Another man said flatteringly, "I heard that Master Jiuten likes to drink the most. Our brothers spent a hundred years brewing a kind of immortal wine. Come here to dedicate it to the adults."
"Yes! I wonder if we can drink together with my king and all the monsters?"
Hearing this, Jiu Tun chuckled, "Do you know how to do what you like, and exchange wine for my uncle's protection?"
After the words fell, he lowered his eyes and gave Banruo a look calmly.
Prajna understood, and immediately ordered: "Liu Ji, come and serve the bar."
Liu Ji understood what he and Jiu Tun meant, stepped forward to take the wine gourd, poured seven glasses of wine into the glazed stone cup, and put them one by one on the monsters who were born in front of them.
Minamoto Larimitsu and others exchanged glances calmly, knowing that the other party was testing them, and then drank the divine wine without hesitation, all showing a fascinated look.
An unheard of strange fragrance wafts in the air, and one cannot but be intoxicated in it willingly.
Banruo's originally calm eyes began to become intoxicated, and Liu Ji, who had low demon power, smelled the aroma of wine and immediately passed out and passed out.
Only the civet cat, who was also addicted to alcohol, dodged a wine gourd from Minamoto Raimiko with red eyes and began to drink wildly.
"Oh my god! Master Shuten, the civet cat has never drank such delicious demon wine... hiccup." The civet cat hugged the wine gourd and began to roll on the ground.
Seeing Ryuhime who was serving the wine passed away drunk, Minamoto Raimiko's expression flickered, and he put on a flattering smile, and came to Jiu Tun himself with the wine glass.
"My lord, why don't you give it a try? Let us know whether this divine wine suits your taste or not!"
The aroma of the wine has an irresistible attraction for the monster, Jiu Tun subconsciously took the glass of wine.
Different from the scarlet color of the demon wine in Dajiang Mountain, the black and red color of this wine seems to reveal an indelible ink color, with an extremely strong smell of blood.
For the alcoholic Shuten, this kind of wine has an indescribable attraction, he looked a little dazed, took it hesitantly and took a sip.
However, just when the glass of wine touched the tip of his tongue, he immediately smashed the glass out fiercely. The aroma of the wine permeated the hall and became more and more intense, and Hannya also began to wobble and fell to the ground unconscious.
Although the fishy sweetness tasted was irresistible to Shuten, the only trace of reason left in his heart still made him a little unstable and quickly dodged the slash from Minamoto Raimitsu.
There is indeed a problem.
A woman with low demon power like Liu Ji passed out when she asked about the smell of wine, but these monsters were fine.
"...You guys, aren't you monsters?"
After dodging the weapon, Jiu Tun's expression froze, but he found a sense of powerlessness in his body, as if countless bugs were devouring his demon power in his body.
Seeing that Jiu Tun had seen through their identities, the group of people looked shocked, and then desperately drew out the weapons at their waists, wanting to fight them to the death.
"Evil ghost! Sue to death!" Yuan Laiguang slashed at him vigorously with a righteous face and sharp eyes.
Jiu Tun quickly dodges again and barely stands still, trying to take out the ghost gourd, but feels that the ghost gourd is as heavy as a thousand catties.
The smell of wine in the hall has been wafting like a thick fog that cannot be dissolved. Feeling that the smell will disturb his judgment, he frowned and held his breath slightly.
"I'm going to deal with this evil spirit, and quickly kill those monsters that harm mankind!" Minamoto Raimiko looked ready to sacrifice himself, "Even if we are buried here today, we must kill this evil spirit!" Ghosts can do it!"
"Fight for humanity! Revenge for the dead civilians and Ms. Ikeda!" A samurai shouted with red eyes, raised his knife and slashed at the sleepy Tanuki.
Jiu Tun's eyes sank, and he dodged like a gust of wind in an instant, picking up the civet cat's tail to avoid the fatal blow.
His mind became more and more dizzy, and the picture began to become dim and blurred. Another warrior raised his sword and attacked Liu Ji's neck.
Throwing the civet cat far away, Jiu Tun punched the warrior three meters away with a fierce expression, his head was dizzy, and he staggered a few steps.
I just took a sip of the demon wine just now, and now it has quickly started to play a role.
Some monsters outside the palace sensed something was wrong and came to inspect it, but all of them were lost in the smell of wine wafting out of the palace.
Taking advantage of the last sobriety and the remaining strength, Jiu Tun's eyes darkened, and he was about to crush all these evil-minded humans to death, but his actions inevitably became sluggish.
Yuan Laiguang and others were not affected by the smell of wine, and the more they fought, the more they gained the upper hand, and they became more and more excited.
"He's powerless to resist!"
Jiu Tun dodged the deadly knife again, Minamoto Raikou's lightning-like figure struck again, the monster power in his body seemed to have fallen asleep, and even he began to fall asleep.
The girl with black hair and green eyes frowned slightly, and her voice flashed in his mind.
Alcohol is a dangerous thing and should not be touched casually.
For some reason, at this moment when his life was extremely threatened, his expression was in a trance, but he thought of the night at the Monster Tavern.
What came to mind was her face and her words.
In just a split second, Jiu Tun regained consciousness, knowing that he was affected by the smell of wine.However, during this hesitation, Minamoto Raimitsu's deadly knife had already approached him.
"...I never expected that my uncle would have such a miserable day." Jiu Tun murmured softly.
Losing the ability to wake up and judge for a woman, even thinking about her face at the last moment of life.
However, when the knife rose and fell, it suddenly hit his side heavily.
Minamoto Raimiko and the group seemed to be possessed, roaring loudly with red eyes, slashing wildly at the air with their giant blades.
"Chop off his head!"
"There are still these monsters, none of them can be left behind!"
"You can't live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
Jiu Tun was startled, and immediately spotted the familiar figure standing at the entrance of the hall.
The hair in front of her forehead was messy, her head was covered with sweat, and her eyes were somewhat crystal clear, flickering with fear and happiness hidden in them.
Quickly passing through several humans who had fallen into the illusion, Chi Qingqing ran to Jiu Tun's side panting heavily, hugging him tightly with a trembling body, unable to speak a single word in extreme panic.
Jiu Tun was already weak all over, and was knocked backward by her, and both of them fell to the ground.
Noticing that the look in her eyes had also become intoxicated, Jiu Tun's heart shuddered, and he said weakly and quickly: "Hold your breath, don't smell the alcohol."
"...I'm fine." Chi Qingqing shook her head vigorously, shaking off the inexplicable images that appeared in her mind.
She is a half-demon, and she was not affected as much as they were. After realizing this, Jiu Tun immediately grabbed her hand and said anxiously: "Outside the palace!"
"There is a bead on the high pavilion outside the hall, use your demon power to touch it, it is the enchantment of Dajiangshan."
Chi Qingqing understands that what Yuan Laiguang and others see at this moment is all fake, and her illusion can't last long, so she must open the enchantment immediately before she gets drunk, otherwise both of them will be finished when they escape from the illusion .
She began to feel weak all over, quickly held her breath, pulled herself together and jumped to the high pavilion outside the hall, and slapped heavily on the faintly glowing pearl.
The entire gorgeous palace immediately radiated dazzling light like a fairyland, and an enchantment instantly enveloped the entire Dajiang Mountain.
In the hall, the seven people who were slashing at the air suddenly disappeared in the palace, and were bounced far below the foot of the mountain by the enchantment.
It took a while for the sweaty faces of the seven to wake up from the false picture, and they looked at each other in amazement.
"...Just now, are we just dreaming?"
Minamoto Raimitsu said uncertainly: "I remember that I clearly chopped off that evil spirit's brain..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Minamoto Laiguang saw the knife without a trace of blood, and his face turned pale.
"I... I also remember that I killed a lot of monsters, why did we suddenly appear here?"
Bubu Jiwu said in amazement, he raised his foot and tried to walk into the mountain, but was blocked by an invisible wall.
"..."
"Things seem tricky. It's too dangerous here at night. Let's leave first..."
******
The enchantment of Dajiangshan will prevent humans from entering here, Minamoto Laiguang and others were ejected, and Chi Qingqing did not feel well.She is a half-demon. At this moment, she was weakened by the smell of wine and repelled by the barrier, so she suddenly felt unable to move an inch.
After taking two steps, her feet went limp, and she fell straight into Jiu Tun's arms.
"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Jiu Tunqiang cheered up, looked at her nervously, and then ignited all the demonic wine in the hall with the last trace of demonic power in his body.
The demon wine burned violently and began to emit a more intense aroma, both of them drowsy.
Chi Qingqing leaned against his arms with a pale face, her nerves that had been tense all the time suddenly relaxed, and she burst into tears.
"...Why are you so stupid!"
"Aren't you the strongest monster in the world? Didn't you say that no one can beat you?"
"Those humans, no matter how many times there are, they are not your opponents, are they!"
"How can you be so stupid to get yourself into such a mess."
There was unconcealable fear and trembling in the words.
Roaring with all her strength, choked with sobs, she suddenly felt that her brain was short of oxygen, and her eyes were dim.
Hearing these words, Jiu Tun hugged her tightly, and suddenly laughed lowly, his lavender eyes sparkled, "Are... are you crying for me?"
"...Are you still in the mood to laugh at this time?" Chi Qingqing closed her eyes and buried them in the pit of his neck, tears gushing out like a fountain, "Do you know, I'm almost scared to death."
The fire was burning violently, the temperature of the whole body began to rise gradually, and the original rich aroma of wine also began to slowly evaporate.
Jiu Tun took a deep breath, hugged her weak body, and whispered softly: "I am the strongest monster in the world, only you can defeat me."
"You are my only weakness, the one who will make me stupid is you."
