Chapter 40: Yokozuna Oni
Vermilion flames rose from the ground, and the overflowing flames staggered left and right, forming a five-pointed star-like circle of fire in series.
The hairy demon who was chasing the villain in front of him was immediately trapped in the sudden ring of fire.
The circle of fire instantly turned into a thick red pillar of fire, and the long cyan hair on the demon was immediately burned to ashes.
Under the pain of the demon and ghost, the fat all over his body immediately bulged high, turning into a piece of muscular biological armor, covering the whole body, and the huge upper body even covered the short legs, which looked extremely uncoordinated.
It let out an angry howl, and its bucket-thick arms were raised high and staggered in front of its head.
Two terrible claw rays slashed straight through the flames in front of them, tearing open a huge hole, and they were about to break out of the pillar of fire.
In the buildings next to the street, hundreds of charms wrapped in faint electric light shot from them, straight through the flame hole, firmly glued to its layers of fat, and the electric light flowed and connected from these charms, forming a flashing "burst" word.
"Boom. ”
The moment the handwriting was formed, in the shops on the side of the street, an onmyoji wearing a hunting suit also shouted at the same time.
Bursts of lightning erupted from the spell attached to it, and countless electric snakes flowed through him, paralyzing it in the pillar of fire.
An arrow full of demon-breaking power came at it, directly piercing the demonic muscles on its body, and two figures popped out of the houses on both sides, holding the sword at his waist with both hands.
"Secret Technique: Yan Returns. ”
The two of them immediately jumped into the air, and the bright knife light flickered between the thick neck of the demon, accompanied by two knife closing sounds, the positions of the two people who jumped in the air were reversed and fell at the same time, and after a tumbling and unloading, two X-shaped scars appeared in front of the demon's neck and chest.
With a grunt, the huge hideous head rolled to the ground, and purple-black blood continued to spurt out from the corpse that had lost its head like oil spurting from the ground.
"You killed one of the hundred ghosts, Yokozuna, and the second task is to kill at least three types of ghosts in the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk to meet the minimum completion criteria, whether to choose to complete it. (Note: Continuing to kill Hyakki will increase the completion of this quest.) )”
Zhang Jiao immediately chose to deny and walked out of the house on the side, and the four people standing behind him immediately followed.
As soon as he stepped forward, the four people in front of him immediately saluted and shouted, "My lord." ”
Zhang Jiao smiled kindly, bowed slightly and said, "Everyone has worked hard." ”
The crowd immediately returned the salute.
Zhang Jiao is no longer polite, the etiquette of Dongying people is really numerous, if you keep saying kind words, the other party can really bow with you all the time, so it's better to end it as soon as possible.
He looked at the corpse lying on the ground and sighed to himself.
"No wonder everyone likes to organize in a group, teamwork is really the most convenient and labor-saving way, this kind of famous and surnamed hundred ghosts can be killed so easily under everyone's joint hunting, and I don't know how high the efficiency is compared to a single person. ”
In the past few days, with the arrival of the Shinto Religion, the entire Hiroshima Prefecture Hyakki Night Walking Incident has been taken over by them, and various important exorcism tasks have also been carried out by the priests brought by the Shinto Religion.
And people like Zhang Jiao, who do not belong to the three major forces, are naturally assigned to the side to do chores. It's not just him, even Kukai Zen Master, and the exorcists who escaped before are all divided into miscellaneous groups to clean up the fish that slipped through the net in the city.
These wild exorcists, people don't look down on them at all, they are all a group of wild fox Zen, that is, the little monsters who help fight and clean up the nets. To deal with this Demon Lord who set off a hundred ghosts in the night, he still has to rely on the descendants of his own sect.
Many exorcists who were forcibly invited were very dissatisfied with each other's attitude, but they were helpless in the face of the three major exorcism forces that had dominated Dongying for hundreds of years, so they could only do these miscellaneous fish work with anger.
When the Hiroshima Prefecture Hyakki Night Walk Incident broke out, you did everything you could to get us to come, and when we came, we were miscellaneous soldiers, and we went here to do this today, and we went there to do that tomorrow, who can not be angry!
For many exorcists who want to take the opportunity to make a name for themselves, it can be said that it is very unacceptable, but there are also many people who like this situation very much, they don't have to face those big crises head-on, clean up some little monsters every day, plus there are subsidies every day, and the gangsters are also very good.
What's more, in this city that is already empty, the oil and water that can be fished is simply not too much, and a little bit of hand-in-hand in the process of cleaning will make much more money than completing a task commission in the past.
However, this does not mean that they are not in danger, this Hyakki night walk can be said to cover most of Hiroshima Prefecture, and it is conservatively estimated that nearly 200,000 people died in this mission.
With so many flesh and blood souls not knowing how many evil things can be bred, many exorcists have died in the so-called task of cleaning up the miscellaneous fish.
The elites of the Shinto Great Sect only focused on cleaning up those particularly obvious big demons, and many of the famous evil things on the hundred ghosts were still left out.
Therefore, after suffering several heavy casualties, the remaining exorcists also formed teams and acted together. Not only has the safety factor been greatly increased, but the efficiency of the operation has also been improved a lot.
Zhang Jiao's group was established under this circumstances, but unlike most improvised teams, the vast majority of their team were people he rescued that day.
In this far from safe place, following a powerful exorcist is a normal choice.
Zhang Jiao did not refuse, with the followers of these people, many things are much easier to do. Just like now, he basically didn't make much effort from beginning to end, and he completed task two, so why not do it.
"My lord, this is the Yokozuna ghost recorded in "Yokai Tales", it is a ghost thing made from the corpse of a sumo wrestler after death, it is said that sumo wrestlers often do not live long because of their bodies, so there are sumo wrestlers who find a way to make themselves live longer, and they often choose to fuse a piece of demon flesh and blood in their own body, so that they can be semi-demonized, not only can they live longer, but they can also have stronger power......"
Right now, the Onmyoji, who had previously restrained Yokozuna's ghosts, was giving him a brief introduction to the ghosts on the ground.
While listening, Zhang Jiao summoned the five ghosts and pointed towards the fat corpse on the ground, "Go." ”
The five ghosts immediately pulled onto the corpse of the Yokozuna ghost, and the white ghost lay on its fat belly, opened its mouth to show its sharp teeth, and bit down on the fat flesh, like a file, opening a jagged wound on its belly.
In the black and yellow fat, the five ghosts immediately got in, holding the five organs exposed by the Yokozuna ghost and began to gnaw it, and several exorcists around who had already had relevant experiences immediately turned their heads and no longer looked at this unappetizing picture, but there were still a few exorcists with overweight tastes who stared at the five ghosts eating carefully, and their mouths even closed one by one with their chewing sounds, but they didn't drool anymore.
There are too many heavy-tasting perverts on Dongying's side.
On the other side, Daisuke Hase, one of the three great priests of the Shinto Great Sect, who was in charge of the Hyakki Night Walking Incident, was receiving the representative of the royal onmyoji, Kazuki Abe.
In the elegant room, a faint smell of sandalwood rises from the incense burner, and the breeze sweeps through it, and the wind chimes hanging in the corner of the eaves make a crisp sound, and the sound of your shamisen, shakuhachi, and thirteen-string koto and other instruments is constantly heard behind the screen, making it a beautiful music.
Daisuke Hasei and Kazuki Abe sat quietly in the room, silent and silent, until the music in the room completely dissipated, Daisuke Haseki said to Abe and Shu.
"Lord Abe, I would like to ask you to come here this time because I have a request for something important, and I would like you to agree to it. ”
Abe and the tree didn't raise their heads, just stared intently at the teacup in front of him, as if to see the flowers, and after a long time, he neither agreed nor objected, but said lightly.
"I don't know what the Grand Priest of Hase's request is, I need to ask you to summon me through His Majesty's message. ”
As he spoke, he squinted his eyes and looked very dissatisfied.
As if he hadn't seen his eyes, Daisuke Hase's face smiled and said, "I hope your lord will ask Miss Yuri to come over." ”
Before he finished speaking, the tea in the teacup in front of Abe and Shu's eyes had already turned into a crested ibis-like sparrow and rushed towards Daisuke Hase.
Daisuke Hase's face was smiling, as if he hadn't seen the oncoming sparrows, and he said with a straight face.
"The hometown of the Chuanyou family has been completely shrouded in the Senluo Domain, and the personnel I sent in have not delivered a single bit of news, so they are completely silent. Coupled with the incident of the 100 ghosts walking nocturnal caused by the leakage of the bone-eating well, this is definitely not something that an evil spirit transformed by a burial figurine can do, so we need Miss Yuri to help. ”
Abe and Shu looked at the sparrow that disappeared in front of Daisuke Hase, and then looked at the tea in the teacup in front of him that was full again, his eyes shrank slightly, and he said coldly.
"Hmph, then do you have to come to Miss Youli? Doesn't your Shinto Great Sect's Eye of the Six Directions say that you can see through the six realms of reincarnation? Why can't you even see through a small Senluo Domain?"
Daisuke Hase's smile slightly, not caring about his sarcasm at all, and said indifferently, "Lord Abe said that this kind of thing is to say, isn't it rumored that your Abe family still has the Shiki-rune edict of Tamamo, haven't you seen you take it out and use it?"
Abe and Shu suddenly glared angrily, and Daisuke Hasei only took the teacup in front of him leisurely as if his gaze did not exist, and took a sip of it carefully, without worrying.
After the two were silent for a long time, Abe Kazuki suddenly said, "Do you have to come to Miss Yuri?"
Daisuke Hase's immediate return said, "Yes, Miss Yuri must come. ”
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply towards Abe and Tree.
"Please. ”
