Chapter 15: Broken Hair

After Zhao Yige entered the city, he was provoked by a monster named Hair Eater at the city gate.

The Hair Eater had long hair that ran to the soles of his feet, and the thick hair covered half of his face, except for one eye. His hair was also extraordinary, wriggling on the ground like a living thing, and like a snake, standing up from the top of his head from time to time.

There is such a story about the origin of the hair eater. Legend has it that in the past, there was a young and beautiful girl in a village who had not cut her hair since she was born. When the long hair reaches the waist, it is already slim and slim, and it is favored by many men. Many men, even the sons of families and dignitaries, came to ask for marriage.

However, a woman loves her hair more than she loves a man, and rejects all those who come to her door, which makes her parents angry.

Her parents hoped that their daughter could marry a nobleman, or a wealthy businessman, but her daughter was not interested in the people who came to propose marriage, and refused directly without even meeting, locking herself in her room all day and combing her hair. The daughter's every move has reached a sick state, and her parents feel that there is something wrong with their daughter.

Her parents took advantage of their daughter's lack of attention and secretly found a mage who did not enter the stream. This mage is not like the Onmyoji of the Abe family, he is a liar who pretends to be a god. Led by the woman's parents, the mage sneaked into the woman's bedroom and pretended to cast a spell, but in fact he was tricky. After doing so, the three of them walked out of the woman's room.

"Master, is my daughter a ghost?" the woman's parents asked anxiously.

The mage didn't actually find any clues in the woman, except for the woman's long hair that could cover the bed, which was no different from ordinary people. First, it was this mage who had no ability to see ghosts, and it was he who took the money, and if he didn't scare people, he couldn't put the money in his pocket. He touched his goatee, pretending to be deep, as if he had lost his temper, and did not answer the old man. It wasn't until the old man urged again and again and gave the mage more broken silver that the mage opened the golden mouth.

"What I am about to say, you must hold your breath and not be afraid. "The mage can be said to have lost his conscience, and began to deceive them for the sake of that little benefit.

"Master, what happened to our daughter?" the old men held each other's hands tightly, waiting for the bad news that was about to come out of the mage's mouth.

"That's right, your daughter's daughter was indeed ghosted, and she is still a ghost. ”

The mage's clumsy acting skills kept the kind-hearted old man in the dark. The woman's mother almost fainted, but her wife helped her into the house, and then went out alone to talk to the mage.

"Master, is there a way to repel the ghosts?"

"Solution, naturally, there is... But..."

"But what, Master, I have handed over all my belongings to you, and I only ask you to have great mercy and clear the evil spirits, so that my daughter can return to normal. We are poor families and do not have much money, we are willing to make cattle and horses for you, and I only ask the master to restore my daughter to normal. ”

As soon as the mage heard that the family had no money, he had no heart to continue the performance, so he said to the woman's father, "I saw with the eyes of heaven that a terrible ghost possessed your daughter's hair and made her lose her mind. In the long run, your daughter's soul will be snatched away by the ghosts. For now, the only way to save your daughter's life is to cut all of her hair. But be careful not to let the ghost find out when you do this, which means you have to do it while your daughter is asleep. Otherwise, the ghost will find out and control your daughter's resistance, and when the time comes, the soul will become a demented person. I'm talking about it, and success or failure depends only on you. ”

"Me?" the old man was puzzled.

"Of course it's you. I am an outsider, and I have divine power to protect my body, and I am the most feared by demons. You are the closest person to your daughter, and only you can cut her hair silently. I've done my best, and I can only help with your money, so I can do it myself. ”

Before the crook mage had earned enough, he hurriedly left the old man's house, and in order to avoid being found out that he was a liar, he walked out of the village overnight.

Alone, the old man came to the kitchen and took a pair of scissors from the kitchen. The hand that picked up the scissors kept shaking, I don't know if it was because the old man believed the mage's words and was afraid of the ghost, or because he was struggling inwardly because he felt guilty about cutting off his daughter's most beloved hair. Without consulting his wife, he walked into his daughter's room alone.

The daughter slept so deeply that she actually fell asleep holding her hair. Ordinary people in Laiguo do not sleep in beds, after all, beds are only available to rich people, and his daughter spreads a quilt on the ground and falls asleep on a mattress. The jet-black hair fell to the ground, and the old man walked without believing that he had stepped on the hair. Maybe it was psychological, he felt that his daughter's hair was indeed possessed by a ghost, and his originally hesitant heart suddenly became resolute. That night, the old man cut his daughter's hair, and the woman didn't know it.

At dawn the next day, the woman woke up from her dream, and according to her old custom, she had to arrange her hair first, but when she wanted to stroke her hair. I found that I couldn't touch my hair.

The woman was frightened, put her hand on her head, and when she touched it, she found that her usually smooth hair had become very prickly. Still comforting herself, she slowly walked to the cabinet and took out a bronze mirror, and then a hoarse cry resounded throughout the village.

The old couple immediately ran to their daughter's room and found that her daughter had lost her soul and kept repeating "my hair, my hair". When the daughter saw her parents entering the house, she immediately ran to the front and asked in a panic, "Daddy, where is my hair?"

At this time, the old couple was still kept in the dark by the liar mage, and said vigorously: "That ghost almost killed you, but fortunately, we met the archmage to help us eliminate the evil, your hair is possessed by the ghost to make you delirious, and now the ghost is gone, and you have a new life." ”

The woman smiled bitterly, she couldn't imagine that her parents actually listened to an unknown Taoist priest. She still wanted to get her hair back, and asked, "Where did you get my hair, can you get it back?"

The old man didn't expect his daughter to go crazy to this point, and replied expressionlessly: "That terrible ghost has been burned to death by me!" You better quickly find a man to marry, it's because you are always alone in the house that you will be ghosted." ”

The old couple's behavior made their daughter want to cry without tears, and without her beloved hair, she had no reason to live in the world. That day, the old couple thought that their daughter was back to normal, so they went out to farm with peace of mind, but they did not expect that the morning would be the last time they saw each other. When she came back in the evening, her daughter had hanged herself in the house.

The old man just wanted his daughter to live well, but he didn't expect his ignorant actions to make a closed moon shy flower go to Huangquan Road in advance.

In fact, the handful of hair that the old man cut off was not burned, but was thrown away in the back mountain. After the death of the old man's daughter, she had a strong resentment, wandering around the village, and found the hair buried in the back mountain all the way.

His hair was picked up by a ghost and he became a hair eater. The first thing the Hair Eater did was to go home and kill his parents who had cut off their hair, and then pursued all the way to find the deceitful mage, and after strangling him with his hair, the thick black hair wrapped the mage's body tightly, like a black mummy. In the end, the mage's body was eaten by hair and only bones remained.

The Hair Eater has been roaming around ever since, and whenever someone cuts off her hair at will, she will eat that person with her hair.

Now that the Hair Eater is facing Zhao Yige who is holding a demon knife, he doesn't know the strength of his opponent at all, and Zhao Yige's cold attitude also makes her very unhappy.

The Hair Eater stretched out his long hair and rushed towards Zhao Yige like a swarm of poisonous snakes.

The black pressed a piece of hair flew like a spear, Zhao Yige was calm, picked up the demon knife and just waved it, and the hair of the hair eater was cut off.

The hair eater's hair fell to the ground, and in her eyes she was as sad as the death of a loved one, and then turned from grief to anger. She cherished her hair the most, and she was even more furious when she saw someone actually break her hair. She unleashed all her demonic energy and injected it into her hair, her hair standing up like steel needles, and her hair rubbed against it with a metallic sound. Then she clasped her hands in the shape of tiger claws and stretched out towards Zhao Yige, and all her hair rushed towards Zhao Yige under her control, like countless flying arrows shooting towards Zhao Yige, which was bound to pierce Zhao Yige into a sieve.

Zhao Yige was calm, watching the shadows appear on the ground under his feet, and the sky above his head was already black and pressed, and his hair poured down towards him. Zhao Yige held the demon knife tightly, imitating the Liu Sheng family's mastery of drawing the knife. Although the sword is not in the scabbard, the posture and movement of the knife are the same, and the sword qi is sharper. The sword qi was also mixed with the roars of countless demon spirits, and a sword qi flew by, cutting through the long black hair, like a dark night, being cut through the sky by a comet, which was particularly dazzling in the darkness. The hair eater's hair was fragile in front of the demon knife, but he didn't know that the head happened too long, and he couldn't escape the fate of being cut after all. Hair is brought out of birth, but it is only something outside the body. The sin represented by the hair eater is that he can only pick it up and does not know how to let it go. Her thick hair is her weapon, but it also restricts her movements. At the moment when the sword qi rushed in, the hair eater was still thinking about his own hair in his heart, cursing Zhao Yige for breaking her hair, but he didn't care about his own life.

The sword aura swept through the Hair Eater's body, and her snake-like hair never moved again, falling lightly from the air to the ground. The Hair Eater looked confused, watching her soft and clean hair fall to the ground, and wanted to reach out to pick it up, but at the moment of reaching out, a crack appeared in the center of her eyebrows, from the top of her head to her lower body, just splitting her body in two. The crack glowed, and in a single ray of light, the Hair Eater's body shattered, turning into countless pieces and disappearing into the air, even the hair on the ground.

It wasn't until Zhao Yige solved the hair eater with one move that all the monsters present understood that a really powerful guy had come.

Just now, when Zhao Yige used his sword qi, the wine swallowing boy in the distance broke out in a cold sweat. That sword qi, that knife, was the nightmare of his life. He was all too familiar with the man named Susa who had found him and left an indelible scar on his chest. He still remembered very well that it was the only time he fled in a panic, and he did not have the majesty of a monster king at all, and he always remembered the embarrassment of the escape, but whenever anyone mentioned it in front of him about his escape, he would tear that mouth apart.

One was bitten by a snake and was afraid of the well rope for ten years. Even though Jiu Swallow could do whatever he wanted here, the shadow left by the demon knife still lingered. Seeing that Jiu Tun seemed to be scared, the big tengu on the side sneered: "What's the matter, where did the previous smug go? It turns out that the demon king also has something to be afraid of?"

Discovered by the Great Tengu's change in heart, Sakutsu angrily picked up his own large-mouthed gourd and threw it at the Great Tengu. Because of his anger, his shot was off, and the big tengu kicked away the flying gourd, and the big mouth on the gourd fell towards a small demon on the ground, eating the little demon directly.

Jiu Tun naturally knew that the demon knife restrained himself, and he also regretted that he didn't kill Abe Jinming in the cave where the demon knife was sealed and seize the demon knife. However, he was encouraging himself, thinking that the last time Susa slashed himself was almost fifty years ago, and Susa had already been buried in the loess. Even if the demon knife is a sharp weapon to slay demons, it is not in Susa's hands, and it cannot exert its full power after all.

Jiu Tun didn't know Zhao Yige, he felt that the young man didn't have the strength to give full play to the real advantage of the demon sword. As long as he can kill Zhao Yige, the Demon Knife is just an ornament.

After feeling good about himself, the wine-swallowing boy walked towards Zhao Yige. The Great Tengu also wanted to know what virtue that Outer Sea man had, how could he use the strongest divine weapon demon sword in the Lai Kingdom.

After Zhao Yige solved the hair eater, the little demons on the side didn't dare to step forward and avoided it one after another. And there was the sound of a behemoth running in the distance, Zhao Yige looked at it, and saw the drunken boy with a hideous face, running towards him violently, crashing into the house all the way, and the little demon who was in the way kicked away, and came straight to Zhao Yige.

Zhao Yige's consciousness is now dominated by the Demon Knife • Po Sa, as soon as Po Sao sees Jiu Suo, it is like seeing the most familiar opponent, and says to Jiu Tu: "Didn't you run far away when you saw me, did you run in the wrong direction?"

Sakutsu understands that Po is referring to the last time he lost miserably to Susanoo, but it wasn't Susa who used her now. He stretched out his blood-dripping finger and said to Zhao Yige: "Don't be complacent about your scrap iron, this human being is just an ordinary samurai in the open sea, and he doesn't have Susa's bravery at all. Without Susa, you're no match for me at all. ”

"Yes, I advise you to think clearly, I approve of this man, which means that he has the same strength as his master back then. Although it is not as good as seventy percent of the master's heyday, but... Only three layers of skill are enough to deal with you. ”

Po Sa laughed at Jiu Tun so much, and said that as long as he had three layers of skill, he could behead Jiu Tun, making him so angry that he could no longer control his fists.

"Today, I'm going to make you regret coming out of the cave! ”

"Alas, alright, don't do it. My real target is the evil god of Kyoto, so let's hide as soon as you little monster like you. If it really makes me unhappy, I'll cut off your jaw so that you can't eat anyone again. ”

The last sentence ignited the fuse of the battle, and the wine swallowing boy released all his demon energy, the green tendons on the bright red skin burst out, and the demon energy continued to gush out from the body, and the little demons on the ground were all shocked by the demon energy of the wine swallowing, this time within fifty meters of the wine swallow and Zhao Yige, no monster dared to appear there.

Seeing that the wine swallowed the real character, Zhao Yige calmly raised the demon knife, aimed the tip of the knife at the wine swallow, and said: "Let the horse come over, let me see if you have been a waste as much as ever in the past few decades." ”
