In less than an hour, the Yokai Legion and Asari Kyugen arrived in Tochigi Prefecture, which is not far from Tokyo.
Xuan Wei quietly followed behind, while using his mobile phone to locate the specific location.
"Nasu Town?" Xuan Wei vaguely felt a little familiar with this place name, but he couldn't think of the specifics for a while.
Clumsily opened the browser, and after a slight search, a lot of information about Nasu popped up on the screen.
In a nutshell, there are a few key words: low population density, developed agriculture in the suburbs, many tourist attractions, and volcanoes!
It is said that there is no place in the island country that does not have earthquakes, and volcanoes are everywhere in the island country, and Nasu is located in the volcanic zone.
To Xuanwei's eyes, the city also has a fairly well-known legend.
According to the folklore of the island country, there is a white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed demon fox, who has repeatedly transformed into a beautiful woman to tempt kings everywhere, resulting in the corruption of the government and the people's misery.
When he was in Tianzhu, this nine-tailed demon fox invisibly turned into the concubine of the spotted foot prince of the Capricorn Kingdom.
In Huaxia, it is the favorite concubine of the famous King Yin!
It is rumored that this nine-tailed demon fox crossed the island country from China to the east and turned into the favorite of Emperor Toba, Tamamo, and was also a variety of monsters and scourges.
In the end, the identity of the nine-tailed demon fox was exposed, and he was jointly pursued by the Yin Yang Liao and the army, and was besieged and killed in Nasu.
Although the nine-tailed demon fox is dead, its ambition and obsession are still retained in the form of a "killing stone", always waiting for the time to see the light of day.
Of course, legends are legends after all, and they can't be believed in all.
At least in Xuanwei's view, there are many untenable points in this legend.
The nine-tailed fox is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas in China: "There are beasts in the mountains of Qingqiu, its shape is like a fox and nine-tailed, its sound is like a baby, it can eat people, and the eater is not Gu." ”
As for the same nine-tailed demon fox making waves in East Asian countries, that is, Su Daji is the former Yuzao, this is obviously unreasonable.
Regardless of whether Daji was killed after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, it all happened more than 1,000 years BC, and the island nation of the same period was the age of uncivilized savages.
The legend of Tamamo occurred more than 1,000 years AD, and there was a gap of more than 2,000 years between the two!
Let's ask, even if Daji can't get along in Huaxia, he will flee to the wild land where Ru Mao drinks blood, and it will be more than 2,000 years in a shrinkage?
If that's the case, Xuan Wei feels that this nine-tailed demon fox is also living a very aggrieved life, and he really lost the face of the ancient beast.
"But if you think about it from another angle, it's really possible that you crossed from Huaxia to the east!" Xuan Wei muttered to himself.
Just now, a hypothesis flashed through Xuan Wei's mind.
According to the memories he had awakened before, there was a time when demons were raging in Huaxia and the lives were devastated, so there was a monk world to fight back to save the common people.
Under some design, the most ferocious group of ancient demons were sealed in the magic circle behind the Heaven and Earth Temple, and the remaining demons were either killed and sealed by the monks, or retreated to a corner, or fled from China in a hurry.
Perhaps, in front of the island country's Tamamo, one of the young demon foxes who escaped from Qingqiu, fled to the island country!
In this way, all the clues can be smoothed out, and at the same time, it will be more reasonable.
……
As a result of the explosion of the nuclear power plant, all the residents around Fukushima were evacuated, and Nasu, which was already a sparsely populated city, was already empty.
Not to mention humans, even birds and beasts are very few, and only some deformed beasts can survive.
Compared to the legendary killing stones that spew venom to attack birds and insects, making it impossible for animals to get close, this invisible killer seems to be even more terrifying.
Near the crater of an erupting volcano, black stones of all sizes were scattered all over the place.
Around the stone, there is a tombstone engraved with the words "Killing Stone", as if to remind people not to walk around.
These stones are the so-called killing stones.
Sulfurous acid gas, hydrogen sulfide and other toxic gases emitted from the crater have been soaking nearby stones for a long time, turning ordinary stones into poisonous stones.
After a series of exaggerations and far-fetched arguments, this is the saying that the killing stone is born.
However, it is obvious that these killing stones have nothing to do with the legendary demon power crystallization that condenses the soul of the nine-tailed demon fox.
"It's been a thousand years, it's time for her to regain the light of day!" said the slippery ghost, who seemed to have a little reminiscence in his eyes.
Asari Xiuyuan on the side narrowed his eyes, and said with a chuckle: "I didn't expect that the legendary killing stone was actually sealed in Nasu!"
According to the literature records in the Yin-Yang Liao, Tamamo was besieged and killed in Nasuhou, and the killing stone it turned into was taken away by the Yin-Yang head at the time and sealed in a certain shrine in the island country.
What I didn't expect was that this was actually a disguise, and the killing stone was never taken away from beginning to end, but was sealed in Nasu on the spot.
"If it weren't for the help of the three artifacts, how could the people of the Yin-Yang Liao force her into a desperate situation? And the demonic power of the Killing Stone is so strong, ordinary people will be drained of their blood and soul within a few miles, and the Yin-Yang Liao can't remove it at all, so they have to borrow the three artifacts to apply a seal for suppression!" said the slippery ghost with disdain.
As he spoke, the slippery head walked towards the crater.
"That's right, this is it!" the slippery head took a closer look at it, reaching out and pulling out the Kusanagi sword and plunging it into the ground.
The blade of the sword sank into the ground as easily as cutting into tofu, and with the shaking of the mountain, the ground actually sank into a huge hole.
The slippery head ghost told the next youkai to be vigilant, and he looked at each other with Asari Kyumoto and jumped down together.
In the dark cave, a dark green spar was suspended in the air, and a phantom of a nine-tailed demon fox could be faintly seen in it.
However, the layers of three enchantments firmly bound the spar inside, and even though the phantom continued to impact from the inside, it still couldn't get out of trouble.
This is not only a seal arranged by the Kusanagi Sword, the Eight-Foot Mirror, and the Eight-Foot Qiong Hook Jade, but under the combination of the three artifacts, even the nine-tailed demon fox has no possibility of getting out.
If you want to break this seal, you can either use the most brutal way to directly break the lock of the triple enchantment, or collect the key of the three artifacts to open the lock.
The former is so difficult that I am afraid that few people in the world can do it, and this kind of power may not even exist.
Don't say that there are three enchantments, one of them is enough to discourage a big demon like a slippery ghost.
Therefore, the only way is to collect the three artifacts enshrined in each place and break the triple barrier one by one.
