Chapter 2: The Bone Girl
The woman with a human face but a skeleton is a bone girl. In her previous life, the Bone Girl was a woman who was plundered to the thief's den by a bandit, and jumped off the cliff in order not to be humiliated by the bandits. Her body was rotted in the mountain stream, but because she absorbed the evil qi of the earth, her soul was entrenched in the mountain stream and could not enter the underworld, and gradually turned into a monster with a human face and a bone body. She hated men who were unkind to women, but whenever a man did something sorry for a woman, she would show up at night and kill those men. Until the bone girl who is a monster meets the general who slashed the wine swallowing boy with her own hands, she actually fell in love with the general, and the general also fell in love with her. However, as a protector of the country, falling in love with the yokai will shake the shogun's position among the people, and people will even change from reverence to fear. The greater the power, the greater the danger, and if the general, who was born as a human hero, is with the youkai, then Rai Kuni will also become a world of youkai. At that time, people still couldn't accept the monster, and Shinaki Abe was not born, and under the persecution of everyone, the general wanted to kill the bone girl. However, the general loves the bone girl deeply and can't bear to do this, and the general's love also touched the bone girl, she is willing to die under the general's knife without regrets.
But the general did not strike. He raised his saber aloft and rested it on the Bone Maiden's head, before finally placing it on the ground. The general told the truth to the bone girl, saying that he had killed too many monsters, and his body had been eroded by demonic energy, and his saber "Po Sa" was also infected with demonic qi and became a demon knife. If this demon knife falls into the hands of mortals in the future, it will definitely bring disaster to the world, and he hopes that the bone girl can find a secluded place to hide the demon knife and not let anyone get it. The bone girl finally took the demon knife and left the general. After she left, she stood on the top of the hill and saw a fire in the courtyard where the general lived, and the general was standing in the midst of the fire, not wanting to become a monster that hurt people. The Bone Maiden took the demon knife and came to the mountain stream where she died before, found a cave, put the demon knife at the end of the cave, and also set up a sealing spell outside the cave, anyone who touches the cave will attract the bone girl to come, so that everyone who comes can not get out alive.
Seeing the three of Abe, especially the great tengu with extremely high combat power in the demon world behind Abe, the bone girl couldn't help but say, turning her hands into two bone spurs, it seemed that she was preparing to kill all three of them. This is the first time we met, I didn't say much, I had to die when I met, and the bone girl was really a person who could die for love. Seeing that the bone girl was about to make a move, Liu Sheng wanted to explain first, saying that he was just borrowing the demon knife temporarily, and had no other intentions. However, the Bone Girl didn't listen to him at all, and in the Bone Girl's heart, what the general said before his death was the most important thing to her, that is, no one should get close to the demon sword. Seeing that the Bone Girl could not communicate, Yanagi prepared to fight, when the Great Tengu waved his huge wings, hung up a strong wind, swept the fallen leaves, and landed between the Bone Girl and the two. He said to Abe: "Lord Abe, I will deal with the bone girl, you two please enter the cave as soon as possible." ”
As soon as the Great Tengu finished speaking, he waved the feather fan in his hand and blew a wind towards the bone girl, and the wind was mixed with the qi of the wind, and countless sharp blades flew in the wind. The Bone Maiden dodged, and the trees behind her were cut off several times after the wind blew through them. It was precisely because the Bone Girl walked away that the distance between her and the cave widened, and Abe and Yanagi took this opportunity to get closer to the cave. Seeing that Abe and Yanagi were intending to break into the cave, the Bone Girl wanted to stop them, but was stopped by the Great Tengu. In terms of strength, the bone girl is not the opponent of the Great Tengu, the Great Tengu is the monster second only to the three demons in the demon world, the Great Tengu has the ability to absorb the breath of the moonlight, according to legend, the Great Tengu also fought with the Moon God once when the moon sucked the moonlight, and successfully retrieved the Lai Kingdom from under the hands of the Moon God, which shows that the strength is outstanding. But the bone girl also has the advantage of coping, that is, the location. The mountain stream here is where she became a demon, and there are a lot of evil thoughts and grievances gathered here, and most of the people who die here cannot enter the reincarnation of the underworld, and eventually become lonely souls and wild ghosts, and there are also people like the bone girl who become monsters. In the land here, I don't know how many corpses have been buried, and the bone girl has been using the qi here to cultivate during the time she has been staying in the mountain stream, and now her strength is actually on par with the Great Tengu. The large area of the Tengu also disturbed the yokai who lived here, and as the battle intensified, many yokai came to watch. But they won't take it lightly, they all have the same idea, that is, the sandpiper and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit. Every demon wants to get the demon sword and become the demon king on this island from then on. However, none of them are the opponents of the Bone Girl, and it is rare to have a big monster that puts the Bone Girl in a bitter battle, and they are eyeing each other, sneering in the woods, and everyone is waiting for them to sit back and enjoy the results when they are both defeated.
Abe and Yanagi came to the cave, and as soon as Yanagi wanted to enter, Abe immediately grabbed him. Abe took out a paper figure in his arms and threw it into the cave, and the paper figure was instantly ignited and burned to ashes. It seems that there is a seal at the entrance to the cave, and if you enter it carelessly, you will set yourself on fire. Abe took out a talisman in his arms, drew a sigil on it with a red pen, and threw it into the cave. The sigil hovers at the entrance to the cave, clinging tightly to the seal, trying to break it. Yanagi waited patiently on the sidelines, but also noticed that there were more and more youkai around him, and his hand was always on the hilt of the sword, ready to deal with the sudden youkai.
While all the youkai were watching the battle between the Great Tengu and the Bone Maiden, a sound was heard from the distance of the mountain stream, and the birds in the woods were frightened and flew away. Those youkai calmed down and listened to the sound coming from a distance, and suddenly they felt that something was frightening, and each of them scattered and left the cave frantically. The Great Tengu and the Bone Maiden also heard the sound, and they stopped fighting one after another. The Great Tengu looked at the sound coming from a distance, and felt that an incomparably powerful demonic aura was coming, and he felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he shuddered. And the bone girl didn't seem to be surprised, and said in that direction, "Why is he interested in coming?"
Who is he?
Until the trees fell one by one, a tall figure appeared in front of them. Yanagi looked at the tall figure, the giant in front of him was at least five meters tall, a lush and scattered red hair hung from his neck to his waist, a red body with no clothes on his upper body, and strong muscles, coupled with a two-meter-long scar on his chest, which made people shudder. The giant has no nose, but the breathtaking eyes on his face seem to look at you and you know that your death is near. The giant also had a flask tied around his waist with the word "wine" written on it. Abe turned his head, stared at the giant tightly, and said uneasily, "It turns out that the wine swallowing boy is also here." ”
"Hahahaha," the wine-swallowing boy looked up to the sky and laughed, his laughter echoed in the mountain stream, and the monsters heard the laughter of the wine-swallowing boy in the distance, and each laughed secretly: the wine-swallowing boy likes to eat people the most, and there are two humans today, and he will never let the duck fly to his beak. "I sensed from a distance that there were two demonic spirits here that wanted to fight, and I just wanted to come over to see which uninteresting monster was going to compete with the bone girl, but halfway I actually asked about the human qi. Although I don't have a nose, I like to eat people the most, and the taste of people is the most delicious in the world, how can I miss it. Sakutsu looked over into the cave, where two people stood as if trapped by the seal, one of them a samurai and the other ...... The drunken boy widened his eyes and shouted at Abe Jinming: "Abe Jinming, it's actually you! Lao Tzu must unscrew your head today!"
The drunken boy tried to walk towards Abe, but the big tengu immediately flew in front of him, blowing a gust of wind that stopped him. After the strong wind, the drunken boy opened his eyes, looked at the big tengu in front of him, and then laughed: "I thought who was so self-conscious, isn't this the big tengu, I remember, you are Abe's lackey, right? ”
"You're just a defeated Abe-sama, and you'll never understand why you're here. ”
"The reason for living in the world? The reason for living in the world is to eat people! I will only become the head of ten thousand demons by eating countless people, you must not forget, demons cannot improve their aura through their own cultivation, they can only be through constant plunder. There are many living things in the world, but only human beings have the most abundant qi. Look at your current appearance, you've been with Abe for so many years, and you can't even beat the bone girl in a degraded way, and you dare to talk to me like this. The drunken boy stretched out his hand and slapped the big tengu into the woods with one palm. Although the Great Tengu protected his body with his wings, his wings were also injured, and feathers fell from the ground. After beating the Great Tengu, the drunken boy was about to go to the cave, and when he passed by the Bone Girl, he asked the Bone Girl, "I'll go in, you won't get in the way, right?"
The Bone Maiden was expressionless, turned the bone spurs in her hands back into a skeletal hand, and said to him, "After taking them, leave quickly." "The Bone Girl will not stop the Wine Swallow Boy, after all, she is only guarding the Demon Knife, and the purpose of Wine Swallowing is only to take the lives of two humans, and she will not interfere in things that are not related to her. In the face of the murderous aura of the wine swallow, Abe is still breaking the seal at the entrance of the cave. He said to Yanagi, "Mr. Yanagi, it will take some time to break the seal, so I bother you to resist for a while." ”
"I don't need you to say that I know what to do, but it's also the first time I've fought with youkai, and I didn't think that my first opponent would be the wine swallow among the three demons, and I don't know if my strength can make him stop for a moment. Yanagi held his Liuying sword, and at a very fast speed, he used a move to draw his sword and slash, and the sword qi blew through the feet of the wine swallowing boy, and after touching the feet of the wine swallow, it was like water hitting the rock, without causing any obvious damage. Jiu Tun also laughed, saying that he had lived for hundreds of years, and no one in this world could hurt him, except for the indelible scar mark on his chest when Susanoo was left on his chest. Yagyu Juro's sword aura is not painful or itchy, just like a mosquito bite.
Liu Sheng saw that this wine-swallowing boy was unharmed, and he knew that the opponent's strength was far above him, so he could only use his sword to fly the cherry blossoms and defeat the opponent in the illusion world, thereby destroying the opponent's spiritual world. Yanagi put his sword back into its sheath, closed his eyes, and suddenly the petals of cherry blossoms flew around him, flying towards the wine-swallowing boy. As soon as the wine swallowing boy came into contact with the petals, he was hit by Yanagi's heart sword flying Sakura, and in the real world he stopped and fell into a stupor, but in another world, he was fighting Yanagi.
There seemed to be a calm in front of the cave, and the youkai who had left slowly gathered again. They saw in the dark that the Great Tengu had been injured, and the Bone Girl stayed aside and did not move, while Yanagi and the Wine Swallowing Boy both closed their eyes tightly and stood without moving, only Abe Jinming was still breaking the seal in front of the cave. At this time, it was their chance to make a move, and if the wine was swallowed, they wouldn't even be able to gnaw on the bones. A few monsters walked towards Abe, and Abe saw a sneak attack by monsters, and more than a dozen paper figures flew out of his arms. When the monsters saw Abe using paper figures, they all laughed at him for being an acrobat and would use some bells and whistles to fool him. They swaggered towards Abe, and the paper figure flew in front of them. The arrogant monster naturally didn't take the paper man in his eyes, until the paper man landed on the monster's face, waved a fist made of paper, and hit the monster's head into the ground, they knew that these paper pieces were not paper tigers, and then fought with the paper man. At first, the youkai were no match for the paper people, after all, they fought chaotically and had their own ghosts. But when the Bone Maiden saw that the monsters couldn't stop Abe from breaking the seal, she shot bone spurs out of her body and knocked all the paper figures to the ground. Abe had already sensed that things were getting tricky, and he used the paper figure on his body to summon Shikigami. The two paper figures become two children, a man and a woman, but the difference is that the two children have no hands, have a pair of wings, one blue and one yellow, and their feet are also bird claws. Seeing the two of them appear, Abe turned back to them and said, "Please help me delay for a while." ”
After hearing Abe's order, the golden boy and the girl fought with the monsters who came to sneak attack, and those monsters were not the opponents of the golden boy and the girl. When the golden boy and the girl were involved in the monster, the bone girl went to kill Shinaki Abe, and the injured tengu appeared again, blocking her way. The Bone Girl looked impatient, she didn't expect the Great Tengu to do this for the sake of a human. And the big tengu seemed to understand the state of mind of the bone girl, and he said to the bone girl: "It's strange that I'm a demon who would do something for Abe-sama, right? I used to think that I couldn't live peacefully with humans, until I met Abe-sama, and he was really capable of doing that." Aren't you the same, stuck here because of Susanoo's words?"
The words of the great tengu seem to have touched the bone girl, and it is true, she is also in love with a human, but in the end, because of the identity of a demon and a human, she has to watch her lover die in the fire, and she can't be with her lover for the rest of her life. If she hadn't become a demon and could have been reincarnated, it is estimated that she would have met Susanoo again in a certain year, right? But is Abe really the one who can make demons and humans coexist peacefully, as Otengu said? She can't believe that there are still people who can do it. She withdrew the bone spur and said to the Great Tengu, "I believe you once, if he doesn't do it, I will kill him wherever he goes." ”
The Great Tengu succeeded in persuading the Bone Girl, and now the form is in Abe's favor. The monster coefficient was repelled by the golden boy and the jade girl, leaving only Yanagi and the wine swallowing boy to fight in the spiritual world, and the specific situation of the battle is unknown, but it can be seen that Yanagi's side has been passive. Sweat was pouring from his forehead, and suddenly blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. Abe saw that Liu Sheng was a little overwhelmed, and immediately summoned the Shizashi boy to take back the golden boy and jade girl. After Zashiki Boy appeared, ghost fires lit up beside him, and those ghost fires continued to surround Yanagi, replenishing Yanagi's breath. Zashiki boy is a monster that can bring blessings, and his demonic energy can make Yanagi get some spiritual healing, and I only hope that Yanagi can survive this.
In the end, Abe finally broke the seal of the cave, and at this moment, Yagyu and the wine swallowing boy returned to reality from the spirit world. As soon as he arrived in reality, Yanagi's body fell into weakness and was about to fall to the ground, barely supporting his body with his sword. Abe immediately took back the Zashiki boy and helped Yanagi to walk into the cave. Seeing that the two of them were leaving, he was about to go to the cave when the big tengu blew a gust of wind, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground. By the time he got up, Abe had already entered the cave with Yanagi, and the cave seal had reappeared. The drunken boy put his hand into the cave, but was bounced out by the seal of the cave. He angrily waved his fist in front of the cave, and his anger scared all the surrounding youkai away. He angrily looked back at the Bone Maiden and the Great Tengu. The bone girl said casually: "Don't look at me, it's not me who is stopping you." This seal was taught to me by Susanoo, and I don't have any way to contact it, besides, it was you who was useless and let the two humans escape. Could it be that this is the strength of the three demons? Can't even catch two humans?"
The drunken boy was furious, and he would not give up if he didn't beat the big tengu and the bone girl into a pulp. The Bone Maiden said to the Great Tengu, "I just have the attitude of trying it out to see if the man you think can do something that no one has done for thousands of years, and it doesn't mean that I am on your side. I can't help this big guy when he gets angry, so you can do it yourself. ”
With a smile on his face, the Great Tengu confidently spread his wings, and at the same time removed the mask from his face, revealing the face of a handsome man, and said to the Bone Girl, "Then you can wait and see." ”
