[Comprehensive] Traveling through Liaozhai with a hundred ghosts

Hearing that Xu Hang planned to go alone, the merchants were quite surprised.

"My lord, this place is still far away from Heian-kyo!"

A merchant persuaded that not only is it a distant problem, but they are still in the mountains and forests now.If you walk alone, it is very dangerous to encounter wild beasts and monsters in the mountains.

The other party was a nobleman from Heian Jing, and if something happened, they might be held accountable as the last person in contact with the other party.

Xu Hang consoled him and said, "You don't have to worry about my safety. I'm not a coward who has no power to defend against the enemy. Since I proposed this plan, it's natural to be measured."

Xu Hang didn't dare to say that instead of worrying about him alone, these merchants should worry about their own safety, because these merchants are really ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Xu Hang took out a talisman from his sleeve.

"This is the amulet I got from an overseas mage, and it's just a thank you for taking me on the road before. Take it, and you don't have to worry about being harassed by monsters in the future."

The merchants were overjoyed and thanked Xu Hang excitedly for the gift.

After Xu Hang handed the talisman to one of them, he turned and left. His figure quickly disappeared from the eyes of the merchants, and he went to meet the Yaksha in the forest.

After Xu Hang left, the merchants were still a little bit overwhelmed, and probably felt that this development was a bit unbelievable.

But thinking about it now, they traveled with Xu Hang for a day, but no one knew his name, and recalling Xu Hang's extraordinary temperament and appearance, the merchants suddenly felt that they probably met the gods in the mountains.

In this era when monsters and gods are very active, such things happen frequently, and merchants have little doubt.

As for what kind of rumors they added to Xu Hang when they talked about this experience with their relatives and friends later, that is a later story.

……

But now, the monster's senses are sharp, even if he doesn't see it with his eyes, Yasha can still hear the movement just now.

After Xu Hang came back, Yasha teased: "You are really kind!"

Xu Hang didn't reply, Yasha made fun of himself, and after a while, he suddenly said: "By the way, can you show me the painting you drew yesterday?"

"Yes." After saying that, Xu Hang took off the scroll and opened it.

Yasha carefully looked at his image above, Xu Hang saw this, and asked, "Do you need me to draw another one for you to keep?"

Upon hearing this, Yasha closed the picture scroll, waved his hand and said, "Farewell, I have no place to put these things."

Then I asked Xu Hang: "I heard from those merchants that you are planning to go to Ping'an Capital, right?"

Xu Hang put away the scroll and put it on his back again, nodded, and said, "That's right, how much do you know about the Ping'an capital?"

Yasha said: "Ah, there... there are many things. After all, many big monsters are active around Heianjing."

As he said that, Yasha let out a few strange laughs: "After all, the darkness in people's hearts is so strong that it can spawn monsters, which is very attractive to monsters!"

Japan's system of gods and monsters is different from China's. Here it is believed that wishes come true. If a person's obsession is deep enough, that obsession may turn into reality. Of course, it may also make this person unknowingly become a monster.

In fact, generally speaking, when a dynasty is in a prosperous period, the dragon aura of the imperial capital should be able to deter demons and ghosts from invading the imperial city.But Xu Hang knows that the places are different, so he can't generalize.

So Xu Hang asked: "Then what happened recently? What happened recently?"

Yasha replied: "Recently, it was about three months ago that a fire broke out around Heian-kyo, which almost reached the imperial city. Oh, by the way, the human woman Shuten-douji was infatuated with unfortunately disappeared."

Xu Hang nodded and said, "Let's go."

He has confirmed that he is now in the world of the game "Onmyoji", and the time point should be before the start of the main storyline.

Then Xu Hang and Yasha went on the road together. Although he was interested in visiting Ping'an Capital, where there is a legend about the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts, and by the way seeing the demeanor of other big monsters, he was not in a hurry, so he just walked away slowly.

The mountain forest during the day does not have the ghostly feeling at night, and most monsters do not like to be active during the day.

Xu Hang was not a talkative person, he stopped talking after he got the information he wanted, and Yasha was obviously not a monster with a smooth personality and good at dealing with them, so one person and one monster walked silently all the way.

After walking along the mountain road for nearly an hour, there was a rustling sound in the nearby grass, which was probably made by small animals.

Xu Hang didn't pay much attention to it, but Yasha seemed to find something to amuse all of a sudden, suddenly he forked towards the grass, and then a rabbit jumped out of the grass.

The rabbit was probably startled, and jumped three feet high on the spot. When it was about to land again, Xu Hang pinched the dead flesh on the back of its neck with quick eyesight and quick hands.

The rabbit realized that he hadn't landed on the ground, and when he looked up to see Xu Hang, he took stock of Xu Hang's breath, and without kicking his feet, he tilted his head and feigned death.

Seeing how spiritual it was, Xu Hang knew it was definitely not an ordinary rabbit.

At this moment, Yasha next to him said, "Hey! Isn't this Tumaru?"

Seeing that it was pointed out, the dead rabbit simply opened his eyes and looked at Xu Hang pitifully.

Xu Hang asked Yasha: "Tuwan?"

"It's a kind of rabbit spirit. It's very timid and doesn't have much meat. It's fun to scare it occasionally."

Xu Hang was speechless: "..."

The rabbit in his hand froze when he heard Yasha said that it didn't have much meat. Xu Hang saw that it was just a little monster passing by, so he let it go.

After the rabbit landed, it ran away with a whimper.

Yasha said: "Tsk, so why did you let it go so quickly with such good intentions? Why don't you still thank you."

Xu Hang said strangely: "Since it is timid by nature, it naturally doesn't care too much when it is frightened. It is normal to be rude, why should I care about it."

"..." Yasha was silent for a moment, and finally choked out a sentence, "You and Yimulian must be able to chat."

So one person and one demon continued to move forward.

As the sky darkened, the mountains and forests where only insects and birds chirped during the day gradually became lively.

From time to time, you can see grandma fire flying between trees, the shadows of wood charms dance like demons under the moonlight, and you can see grasses holding dandelions floating in the grass from time to time...

However, these ordinary little monsters kept far away from Xu Hang and the others, after all Yasha was not a monster to get along with.

Not long after, Xu Hang saw a person in front of him being entangled in a rolled cotton cloth.The cotton cloth seems to have vitality, wrapping people tightly.

Seeing this, Xu Hang took out the mahogany sword on his back.

Yasha gave a "tsk", knowing that he was going to be kind again.

Xu Hang ignored Yasha's reaction, and directly slashed at the cotton cloth with his sword.The thick blunt edge of the wooden sword was supposed to cut through the cloth, but at this moment it became like a magic weapon, and it actually cut the cotton cloth in one go.

The person who was entangled in the cotton cloth was finally able to break free, the first thing he did was panting, as if he was almost suffocated by the cotton cloth just now.

The cotton cloth was cut into two pieces, and the upper half immediately drifted away with the wind.

After the rescued person regained his strength, when he saw Xu Hang, he quickly thanked him and said, "It's really thanks to you for helping to cut off the monster just now, otherwise I would probably die here."

"It's okay, helping others is the right thing to do." Seeing the blood on the sword, Xu Hang approached and helped the man up, "The mountains and forests at night are not safe, why are you driving alone at night?"

The man scratched his head and said, "I can't help it. I was late on the road before, and now there is an urgent matter in Kaga that I need to deal with."

Then the other party found that the sword that Xu Hang cut off the monster just now was just a wooden sword, and he was surprised: "Are you a mage?"

Xu Hang didn't deny it, it was his acquiescence.

The man looked very happy: "Great, can you escort me to the town of Kaga? I am willing to give you a generous reward."

Xu Hang is not short of money now, and he is traveling with Yasha now, so it is inconvenient to send this human being.

So Xu Hang declined and said, "Sorry, I have other business now, so it's not convenient for me to see you off."

The other party was frustrated when he heard the words, so Xu Hang had no choice but to give out another talisman: "But I can give you a talisman, and no monsters will dare to approach you on this road."

The man immediately turned his worries into joy, took out the talisman and gave Xu Hang a handful of gold grains as a thank you, and then hurried on his way.

Yasha didn't show up until the man left.

Xu Hang asked him: "What kind of monster was that just now?"

"That thing is called an anti-cotton cotton, which means that the cloth has become fine. It likes to float around at night. When it sees a pedestrian walking alone, he will wrap him up until he entangles him to death." Yasha said, and then stared at Xu Hang's Tao Mujian, "Is this sword your weapon? I don't think it's very sharp."

Xu Hang smiled and said, "Because it is used to kill demons."

The corner of Yasha's mouth twitched, and he said, "I said, you shouldn't be a god like Yimulian in the past, right?"

Xu Hang said, "I am a monk."

Yasha immediately understood that it is common for people with spiritual power to mutate into monsters in Japanese ghost stories.

Besides, the person rescued by Xu Hang was originally an official in Kaga, and this time he was on a business trip at night.

After getting Xu Hang's talisman, as expected all the way back to Kaga, there were no more accidents.

After returning home, I saw that the talisman was still fresh and clean after being placed for many days. I felt that the talisman was unusual, so I pasted it on the wall of the bedroom again.

Since then, the house has not been infested by monsters.

Back to the present, when Xu Hang and Yasha were about to get out of the forest, the monster named Usagimaru who had let go in the morning appeared in front of them again.
