Soon after Ibuki Suika flew, Yakumoji Temple was taken to her ghost town by Ibuki Suika. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, tens of thousands of ghosts had gathered at the gate of the ghost city, all of them looking at the flying figure of Yakumo Temple and waiting for it.

It seemed that they regarded Yakumoji Temple as an enemy, but it was not long before the atmosphere of waiting for the battle dissipated.

When Ibuki Sanuka's figure appeared in front of them along with Yakumoji, they naturally no longer had hostility towards Yakumoji.

And when Yakumoji and Ibuki Suika flew down to the ground together, the Ibaraki Kafan immediately greeted them.

Grabbing Ibuki Ika's hand, he pulled him to his side, and then asked in Ibuki's ear.

"Who is this guy in front of you who looks exactly like Yakumo Purple? I just felt a very unfamiliar realm force to bring so many people out to help, why do you seem to be very good with him? ”

The one Ibaraki Hua said in his mouth was naturally Yakumoji Temple.

And it seems that even if Yakumo Temple and Yakumo Zi look similar, they are still easy to recognize in front of acquaintances.

Compared to the nervous appearance of the Ibaraki Hua fan, Ibuki Sumika didn't care much about the origin of Yakumoji Temple.

Instead, she nudged the Ibaraki fan and pushed it up from her ear. Road.

"He's just a realm monster from the Shenzhou Continent, there's no need to be so nervous.

And compared to this, it is better to quickly carry the phoenix fire on his back in to rest. ”

After saying that, Ibaraki Huafan immediately looked at the phoenix fire behind Yakumo Temple and said in surprise

"Phoenix Fire!! Cuixiang, you went out this time and brought the phoenix fire back!! It's just that...... It looks like I'm fighting someone else again. ”

Shocked, Ibaraki Huafan hurriedly directed the two ghosts towards Yakumo Temple, asking them to unload the phoenix fire from Yakumo Temple's back and carry it into the ghost castle.

"What do you mean she's fighting again? How do you look very sad? ”

After handing over the phoenix fire to the two ghosts, Yakumoji hurriedly asked like a Ibaraki Hua fan.

I'm not familiar with the person Ibaraki Huafan, Yakumoji, but I've only seen her once in the world.

So remember what she looked like.

After hearing Yakumoji's words, Ibaraki Huafan's face changed slightly, and he said.

"Let's go in first, thank you for saving the Phoenix Fire."

Ibaraki Kafan said, and immediately let the ghosts behind him make way to welcome Yakumoji and Yakumo Zhen into the castle together.

At the same time, Ibuki said to a certain ghost beside her.

"It's a banquet today! Go get the wine served! And that girl, remember to bring her too! Hmmm......"

Halfway through speaking, Ibuki Suika changed his gaze to Yakumoji Temple and said.

"What do you like to eat? It's better to drink wine with some snacks. Do you like to eat raw meat as much as we ghosts? ”

"Just have something to eat, I can't accept raw meat."

Yakumoji said with a smile.

I thought to myself, this ghost clan's love of banquets is really true.

I just came, and I just didn't say a word to Ibuki Sumika, and Ibuki Sumika began to plan the banquet.

Although it is very likely that it is stained with the light of phoenix fire, it is undeniable that the ghost clan especially likes to hold banquets.

After all, the phoenix fire is still asleep now, if it is really held for the phoenix fire, is the phoenix fire the same as the owner?

……

I don't know if it's because of the frequent banquets, the car is familiar with the road, or some other reason.

When Yakumoji and Ibuki arrived at the banquet venue, everything was ready.

Wine, meat. The whole nine yards!

Other than the table......

Because every time the ghost clan holds a banquet, they sit on the ground and eat on the spot.

And in addition, there are already a lot of ghosts in the banquet venue who have drunk it!

The main lord drank before he came, and I have to say that the life of the ghost clan is really unrestrained.

And even though they have already drunk it, at least the ghosts who drank it are not so brainless, and they left five jars of wine and five portions of food for Yakumoji and Ibuki Suika on the main throne.

Two of the servings are raw meat and three are cooked food.

Looks like they left it behind!

It's just that Yakumo Temple thinks it's very strange, they only have four people when they are full, how can there be a fifth portion of food?

Doubts are doubts, after Yakumoji and Ibuki Suika drank a few sips of wine and completely won Ibuki Suika's trust, Yakumoji asked.

"You haven't answered my question at the door. What's the point of saying that Phoenix Fire is fighting with others again, and is still so sad? Also, Ibuki Azuka, what did you say to me about being ranked twelfth? ”

"That's easy to explain!"

Ibuki Sanka spoke.

"Do you know how youkai and humans shared day and night equally?"

Yakumoji said: "Yes. ”

"At that time, the night was the time for our yokai to have a banquet, but at the same time, it was also called the Hyakki Night Walk.

For us it is a banquet, and for humans, the night walk of the hundred ghosts is the time when the monsters hunt humans.

Although we are having a banquet during the night walk of the hundred ghosts, at the same time, the little monsters are competing for territory and strength! Whoever is stronger is the boss of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Period.

But it was just a big fuss from the little monsters, and we didn't participate in their night parade.

But...... Phoenix Fire participated. And also won the twelfth place in the ranking of the hundred ghosts night walk. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yakumo Zhen, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Since Phoenix Fire is the twelfth, what are the top eleven?"

Yayun Temple looked at Yakumo Zhen suspiciously, very puzzled.

Ever since Yakumo Zhen saw herself as a subordinate, she would never interject when Yakumoji was talking to others.

But today it was an exception! This makes Yakumoji a little puzzled.

Regarding Yakumo Temple's incomprehension, Yakumo Zhen immediately explained, Dao.

"My lord, we will definitely stay in Japan for a long time in the future, and it would be better to know more or less about the night walk of the hundred ghosts or something."

After explaining, Yakumoji was relieved, and then looked at Ibuki Suika again.

But this time, Ibuki Sumika was stunned......

"What do you see I'm doing, what has been going on for so long...... I forgot about it a long time ago. ”

With that, Ibuki Suika hurriedly picked up the wine vat and poured a few sips of wine.

"Cuixiang doesn't know, so let me answer. I have some impressions of Hyakki's nocturnal walk. ”

Ibuki Ika's side of Ibuki said.

"The first place is Mu Mei. Wood charm, also known as tree charm. It looks like a normal tree, but it is said that if a human intends to harm Mu Mei, that person and the entire village will suffer a great disaster.

The second is the tengu. I remember that he seemed to be just an ordinary tengu, but he used to be an errand boy under the great tengu.

The third is the sound of the valley. I don't know where she came from.

The fourth is the mountain boy. Mountain boys, as the name suggests, are mountain demons, haunted by deep mountains and old forests, and are very frequently concentrated in the area of Kyushu Island.

Since there are many connections between the mountain child and the kappa, there are also some places where the mountain child is said to be a kappa.

Legend has it that when the kappa entered the mountain, not only did the name change, but also the form and nature of the body changed a lot, and eventually it became a mountain child.

The fifth is the dog god Bai'er. The dog god itself refers to the ghost of the dog.

Legend has it that if you put delicious food in front of a dog that has been tied up in advance, but you don't untie the rope and give it to eat, the more desperately it struggles to eat the food, the more concentrated the desire for food will become, and then suddenly cut off the dog's head and throw it far away;

Or sacrifice the dog's head first, and then throw it on a rock in the sea or other distant places, and the dog's dead soul will haunt it, and it can be used as a dog god, and Bai'er is a youkai that serves the dog god and looks like a child, and it is said that it is the soul of those children who are bitten to death by dogs.

The sixth is the taste of dirt. He's a long-tongued monster with a disgusting style.

I like to sneak into the bathroom in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping and silent, and specifically lick the dirt after people take a bath, and the bathroom that has been licked by it will not be cleaner, but dirtier.

The seventh is Hashihime. The ontology is formed by the resentment of some infatuated women.

If a man crosses the bridge at night, he will appear and lead him into the water to drown, and if a woman crosses the bridge, he will forcibly pull him into the water.

The eighth is Naruya. It is a small yokai that parasitizes human homes and often makes the floor of the house 'crunch'.

The ninth is the sea seat. If the fisherman who goes out to sea is suddenly trapped in the fog and can't tell the front and back, the left and right, sometimes a human figure will be reflected in the fog in front of him, and when he gets closer, he is a luthier with a pipa on his back, and when the fisherman reaches the shore safely under his guidance, the luthier is still standing on the sea and looking at each other from afar, which is a good kind of monster.

This is the head of the sea.

The tenth is the reverse column. The reverse pillar will bring unlucky things such as fires and home noises to humans.

The eleventh is ignorant of fire, I heard that it is related to God, and the origin is very mysterious.

As for the twelfth, the phoenix is on fire. ”

"Is there really only a hundred ghosts in the night?"

"No, there are actually one hundred and thirty-two youkai in the Hyakki Night Walk. The last one is the Weasel.

When you are walking on the road, a whirlwind suddenly blows, and when the wind stops, you will find that your hands and feet are scarred by sharp knives. This is caused by the attack of the scythe.

As he grew older, the weasel became a magical youkai, with claws as sharp as a terrible scythe and the speed of the wind in the air, and no one had seen him clearly.

In Gifu Prefecture, it is said that the weasel is actually a yokai composed of three brothers, and they move very quickly, the first one trips over people, the second only scratches the human skin, and the third only applies plasters to the wounds, so even if they are scratched, they do not feel pain.

However, I don't agree with the idea that the scythe is faster than the wind, because the weasel is just too small to be seen.

If it was really faster than the wind, how could he possibly shoot at number one hundred and thirty-second? ”

"What about the Phoenix Fire? You feel sorry for Phoenix Fire and you haven't made it clear about fighting with others. ”

Yakumoji asked again.

At this time, Ibuki Suika had already slipped out of the banquet hall alone, as if she wanted to throw the problem of Yakumoji Temple directly to Ibaraki Kafan to solve.

"Do you know where the phoenix fire came from? Her birth? ”

After hearing Yakumoji's words, Ibaraki Kafan asked rhetorically.

"It fell from the phoenix, it seems like this."

"Yes, that's it. When we met Phoenix Fire back then, Phoenix Fire once told us these two paragraphs.

[What I'm going to talk about now is not a strange story.

Yes, this is my own story.

Have you ever seen a phoenix? When the phoenix was reborn, the flames merged with him. At that time, the fire that burst out would be so beautiful that they couldn't help but follow the phoenix.

The sparks, which were too far away from the light, were quickly extinguished.

The rest of the tinder used all their strength and desperately chased after it. 】

[The residual warmth after the phoenix flew by is the energy and faith that we continue to pursue.

It's a sad process, watching the siblings around me weaken and then go out.

Then, I was the only one left.

Incredible, right?

At that time, we were obviously just a chaotic flame, without consciousness, and even more vainly talking about life.

but gained a lifetime of faith.

It's a gift.

Even if I get the eyes, I don't need to look at anything other than the phoenix.

Even though I got the feet, I didn't have to stay.

Even though I gained wisdom, chasing the phoenix was still my only faith. 】

She has a great longing for the phoenix and is very dependent on ...... In order to find the phoenix, she will stop at nothing. ”

"That's great, but does it have anything to do with my problem?"

"Absolutely!"

"Her name is Phoenix Fire, although her name has the word phoenix, but she is also fire after all...... I ask you, what will happen to a fire that has no wood to burn? ”

"What do you mean!!"

Yakumoji Temple was suddenly frightened by Ibaraki Huafan's words!

If what Ibaraki Hua Fan said was true, wouldn't the lifespan of the Phoenix Fire ......

"That's right, that's what you think.

Although the phoenix fire is the fire that fell from the phoenix, she is just a fire! The phoenix can be reborn in Nirvana, but how can fire be nirvana?

Does that wood make this fire stronger? But what kind of wood can make the phoenix fire burn indulgently? Even if there is, sooner or later the wood will be burned out.

Once the wood is burned...... Where should Phoenix Fire go?

Every time Phoenix Fire fights with others, it is indulging in burning.

Burn, burn, sooner or later, the phoenix fire will eventually be extinguished.

Now, the day when the phoenix fire is extinguished is not far away...... After this battle, the posture of falling into a deep sleep is a signal that Phoenix Fire is about to pass away.

When I used to be with Phoenix Fire, Phoenix Fire would lose strength for a period of time after each battle.

At that time, we knew about Phoenix Fire's physical condition.

I just didn't expect it...... The day will come so early. ”
