Chapter 14: The Knife Comes
The demonic spirit is vertical and horizontal, and there is no grass. Seeing the sword at a glance, looking back at the two people. Even though it's a demon slaying blade, it's also contaminated with demonic nature because of killing too many demons.
Zhao Yi singer holds the demon knife, there is only killing in his eyes, and there is no humanity. If the Demon Knife didn't fall into the hands of Zhao Yige, if the Demon Knife didn't listen to Abe Jinming's words, then even if the Demon Knife was strong and would not succumb to people, but in the hands of the evil god, it would be the biggest killer of the souls. Just as people first invented weapons only to fend off wild beasts, they will eventually become murder weapons against humans.
One thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon. It is a person's thoughts that determine the most important factor in determining his race, not his bloodline.
As a human being, Zhao Yige, if he hadn't forgotten the past and lived with hatred until now, then the moment he picked up the demon knife, he would slaughter all the people in the world.
Zhao Yige was on the empty and uninhabited road, and the sand and dust brought up by running was like a train speeding on the sand, rolling dust, not like rolling rivers, with the same direction, but it could not roll down from beginning to end.
The traces of Zhao Yige's walking all the way were discovered by the green wolf and others, and the green wolf and the shark broke the evil spirit and set off towards Edo Castle along the footprints. Among the two, the shark is experienced, and last time he trapped the people of the entire Qujiang City, he wanted the daimyo of Laiguo to release Fu Qinggu and Zhao Yige who were captured. Now that he has returned to his hometown, he is no longer as thrilling as he was back then.
The two of them were running on the road when they suddenly noticed a mark on a large tree. The two of them stopped to check the mark, and they knew very well in each other's hearts that it was the mark left by the demon people. Following the direction of the mark, it is not Edo Castle that leads you, but a small village outside the castle.
After entering the village, the village was deserted and lifeless. The green wolf raised his nose and sniffed hard at the air. The green wolf seemed to have found someone, and pointed in a direction with his finger, signaling the shark to walk in the direction he was pointing.
A thatched hut with a wooden door that was not closed tightly and babbling under the action of the wind. Shark Po Evil vigilantly pushed open the door, and when the wooden door was pushed open, everything in the inner room was blurry because of the darkness, but a person could be seen inside. When the people in the inner room saw the door opened, they immediately shouted outward: "You have arrived, come in!"
The shark broke the evil and immediately recognized the voice, it was undoubtedly a ghost. Shark Po and the green wolf walked into the hut.
"Old immortal, why are you here?" The green wolf said to Ghost Shili openly, his personality has always been so straightforward, except for the respect for Yan Che and Yan Tiege, he treats the rest of the people as brothers, even if Ghost Shili is also one of the four ancient primordial gods, he will not speak politely.
"Of course I'm waiting for you here, and you must have found me after seeing the marks I left along the way. This island is covered with evil qi, and the distance we can sense qi is limited, so we use this method. ”
"Then what are you doing here? Why are you alone? I remember that hairy boy surnamed Zhao was with you?"
"As soon as you mentioned Zhao Yige, I was about to tell you. I advise you not to come near him for a while. ”
It can be heard from the words of the ghost Shili that the current Zhao Yige does not seem to be an ordinary person, the shark is thoughtful, and immediately understands that something must have happened to Zhao Yige, so he rushed to the green wolf and asked: "Mr. Ghost said this, could it be that Zhao Yige was controlled by the evil god?"
Ghost Shili touched his beard and said: "No, Zhao Yige's will is extremely firm, and he has no distracting thoughts, let alone evil thoughts, even if the evil god comes forward in person, he may not be able to control him." ”
"And what are you trying to tell us?"
"Zhao Yige was possessed by a very strong demon weapon, and now he will kill anything except humans. Just now he picked up the demon weapon, and in an instant, he was like a person, and he also moved on me. ”
"What? You said that the kid surnamed Zhao did something to you? Didn't he kill himself and hit a stone with an egg?"
"If he were just an ordinary person, it would have turned out exactly what you say. But that demon weapon made him more powerful, it was a demon knife that absorbed countless demon souls, although it would not damage my primordial spirit, but this body would be unusable. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, that kid actually dares to make a move on you, even if the young master takes a fancy to him, I will teach him a lesson for the young master." ”
"Don't go yet. He is heading towards Kyoto, and there should be no more demons except for Young Master Che'er. I've met a lot of Shikigami sent by Shinaki Abe before, and I've got their help. According to them, now Edo is overcrowded with demons, and large and small yokai are led by one of the three demons, the wine swallowing boy, to fight against the yokai led by Abe. Zhao Yige went there and should stay for a while. ”
"Then old man, why are you still here, recuperating?"
Ghost Shili seemed to have other things in mind, so he didn't speak, got up and walked out the door. When he got to the door, he waved at the green wolf and the shark and motioned for them to follow.
Ghost Shili took the green wolf and the shark to break the evil spirit, and walked to a hill, the two of them were confused, and they didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of Ghost Shili. It wasn't until they reached the top of the mountain that they understood why Ghost Shili had brought them to this mountain: on the top of this mountain, there were countless people lying horizontally and vertically, all of whom were villagers of this village.
"What is this?slaughter?" asked the green wolf without thinking.
"Fools, they are not killed, it is after the person's aura is absorbed, the soul thinks that the body can no longer contain itself, so the soul is out of the body, these people are in a state of suspended animation. Now the soul is still floating on the top of this mountain, and I use a seal to envelop all the souls here first, so that the souls will not return to their original body after leaving. If these geists are not controlled, even if Yan Che defeats the evil gods, this island will be an empty island. ”
"Mr. Ghost, you are possessed by Yama, in charge of the reincarnation of the soul of the netherworld, and what else can't you do?" asked Shark Po Evil, as if he didn't understand what Ghost Shili was worried about.
"Good question. If I were on the mainland, I would be able to turn things around and fix the mess here in one fell swoop. But the entrance to the underworld is closed. ”
"You said the entrance to the underworld was sealed here?"
"That's right. In the past, there was still an entrance to the underworld, but it was narrower. But just now I tested it, and the passage of the underworld has been completely closed. In other words, none of the dead souls here will reach the underworld and be reincarnated. ”
"What's the result of that?" The green wolf still didn't understand what Ghost Shili was trying to say.
Shark Po Xie seemed to have understood Ghost Shili's words, and explained for him: "What Mr. Ghost means is that all the souls here cannot enter the underworld, and the souls will either become lonely souls and wild ghosts for too long, or they will find an object to attach to it, so that countless monsters will be born." ”
"The geist becomes a youkai...... How can it be said that there are more than 100,000 people on this island, so there will be more than 100,000 youkai?"
"That's right, so it's imperative that we can't support the young master for the time being. I need your help to see what is blocking the passage of the underworld. ”
The words are divided into two ends, and the singer Zhao Yi holds the demon knife and comes all the way to Edo City. From afar, Demon Knife Po Sao smelled the smell of monsters that he had not seen for a long time, and his heart was hungry and thirsty. The sound of fighting in Edo Castle was everywhere, and the call of the demon aroused the desire to kill with the demon sword, so she did not continue to move in the direction of Kyoto, and was ready to try her hand at this Edo Castle now, and practice her skills by the way.
In Edo Castle, Abe Shinaki's attendant youkai led by the Great Tengu are fighting with the army of youkai led by the Sake Swallow Boy. There are a large number of monsters on the side of the wine swallowing boy, and the great tengu is fighting fiercely with all the enemies, and his physical strength is gradually exhausted, and many of his comrades around him have been beaten back into the monster enchantment, and the form is not optimistic.
Almost all of Abe's shikigami are in this city, and the city is already full of blood, and I don't know how many youkai have died here. The youkai who went to aid the Majin tribe also rushed back, but even if they joined forces, they were no match for the sake of swallowing, and only the Great Tengu could still compete for a few rounds.
After losing at the hands of Jiu Swallow last time, the Great Tengu did not waste in the demon world, and worked hard to improve his combat effectiveness. If the monster does not rely on devouring humans, the growth of demon power is slow, even if he works so hard and cultivates through Abe's runes in the demon world, it is still too far from the countless wine swallowing imagination of cannibalism. With a punch from the drunken boy, Tu Bi's body was shattered, and Tu Bi turned into countless stones, and his eyes were still moving around on one stone. The Great Tengu takes out the psychic talisman that Abe left for him from his bosom and returns the injured youkai to the demon world.
Gu Tori and Rain Maiden also returned from Edo Castle. They sent Yagyu Jubei away, told him the location of Yanagi Otome and Yanagi Juro, and returned to help his companions in the city. It was originally an advantage that the bird could fly, but the enemy also had monsters that could fly into the air. Phoenix Fire is her opponent. Phoenix fire is also a tricky enemy, like a phoenix burning with fire, when it passes through the air, it will leave a fire cloud trail behind its tail, her demon power is stronger, and Gu Yu Bird is not an opponent. It stands to reason that water can overcome fire, and the rain girl can play a role at this time, but the rain she falls is too wide, and it is likely to affect her companions, so she can't play much role in group battles.
The Great Tengu fought with the wine swallow, knowing in his heart that they were no match for the enemy at the moment, but their purpose was to hold the enemy back and prevent the enemy from stopping the Makoto. It's just that their gradual disadvantage makes him understand that they won't last long. He hasn't defeated the wine swallow yet, and the big tengu is also indignant in his heart. At this moment, a human broke in through the west gate of Edo Castle. All the youkai's attention shifted to the human. The Great Tengu also looked at it, overjoyed, and the person who appeared he knew, it was the same person from the outer sea who came to the Demon Realm last time and was seriously injured.
Zhao Yige walked into the city gate and glanced at the monsters everywhere in the city. There was a big demon who happened to be near the city gate, and when he saw a human daring to break in, he swaggered towards Zhao Yige. He didn't know that the current Zhao Yi singer was holding a sword that had killed countless demons, Susanoo's former sword-Demon Knife Po Sa.
The strong demonic aura on Zhao Yige's body has not yet been noticed by the self-righteous monster, after all, the entire city is full of monsters, and no one pays attention to the strength of the demonic aura on which monster. The monster came to Zhao Yige and said mockingly: "Where did the wild monkey come from, don't you hide here and send it to death?
Zhao Yige's face was expressionless, looking at the monster named Hair Eater in front of him, and suddenly smiled evilly: "Let's take you first." ”
