36. Ghosts and gods
The boy has been in the wind and rain for more than 20 days and nights, whether it is a strong wind or a torrential rain, he is constantly hurrying. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Countless monsters in the way, encountering countless life and death crises.
Today, these can finally be stopped.
Yangdu is now imprinted in the eyes of the young man.
The young man looked at the huge Yangdu through the moat on the mountain, and suddenly he couldn't say anything.
All the suffering was to send this letter to Prince Yunshang in Yangdu.
No matter how terrifying the monster is, the boy never changes his face.
But why?
Why do teenagers feel a strange feeling?
The emotion called "fear" constantly filled the teenager's mind.
"What am I afraid of...... the boy asked himself.
Yoto is a vibrant city known as the "rising sun of Izumo".
For a long time, merchants from all over the world came and went in Yangdu, and Yangdu became one of the most active capitals.
This also makes Yangdu a good subject recorded in various biographies.
All the biographies recorded in the Yangdu are in full swing and full of vitality.
But the boy didn't feel this vitality at all, only the biting cold.
The massive Yang Capital is like a fortress, and its towering walls form an impregnable shield.
There was no noise at all, but it was unusually quiet, and the closed gates were silently guarded by a dozen samurai in black armor.
The walls are patrolled almost at all times, and all of them have their bows ready to be wound, ready for any eventuality.
Although the boy had not felt this abnormal atmosphere, he could still easily guess it.
This is the smell of pre-war security, and the war is about to begin......
The cold Yang Du told the boy that he couldn't hesitate any longer.
Gritting his teeth, the young man forcibly suppressed the inexplicable fear in his heart, and walked towards the sun with stiff steps.
"It's almost over, isn't it?" The teenager encourages himself, but is this really the end?
This little letter is just an opportunity.
And the opportunity is triggered by an unimaginable disaster.
Throwing away the cranky thoughts in his mind, the boy walked towards the moat.
The guards on the other side of the moat noticed the boy and immediately raised their spears in vigilance.
"Who is the visitor on the other side! Just answer through the moat! The guard shouted at the boy with his spear raised.
The boy took out a letter wrapped in brown paper and shouted to the guards across the moat, "I'm a samurai from Kyoto!" Here is an important letter from the Kyoto Samurai Branch! Please let me pass it on to Prince Yunshang! ”
After hearing the young man's words, the leader of the guards asked a Taoist robed Onmyoji next to him, "How is it, Onmyoji-sama?" ”
The Onmyoji closed his eyes and pinched the law to sense.
Then Onmyoji opened his eyes and confirmed, "That's right, it's not a youkai over there, it's a real person." ”
"Drop the road and let him come." The leader of the guards beckoned, and several guards next to him shook the wheel, and the drawbridge was slowly lowered.
Finally, the fully lowered suspension bridge was built between the moat, forming a bridge across the moat.
The boy walked slowly from the bridge to the other side.
In front of the closed gates, a large group of guards stared at the boy with spears raised.
Although it is a very impolite act, these are extraordinary times, and any unreasonable behavior can be forgiven.
The young man consciously untied the black knife at his waist and handed it to the guards next to him, and then raised his hands and silently searched the guards.
The guards fumbled around the boy's trouser pockets and jacket for a while, but found no hidden knives.
"It's been a long time since I've seen someone so cooperative." The leader of the guard looked at the boy with his spear raised.
"But, you just seem to have said that you were the messenger sent by the Kyoto Samurai Branch?" The leader of the guard looked at the boy suspiciously.
The young man took out the letter wrapped in brown paper: "Exactly, this is the letter from the Kyoto Samurai Branch." ”
The head of the guard said with a funny face, "You don't know that there are many people who want to smuggle into the city in the name of the samurai shogunate branch recently?" ”
"They all said they were the messengers, but they were all debunked because they couldn't prove it." The leader of the guards beckoned, and all the guards surrounded the boys.
"So, can you prove your identity? Is there a letter? Is there something to prove? The leader of the guard shouted at the boy with his spear raised.
[Proof? Where did the boy know what proof he had, the samurai shogunate in Kyoto didn't even mention it.
[Now you can be miserable by those old guys......]
The young man looked at the slowly approaching guards with some nervousness, and the leader of the guards looked at the young man and said, "Can't you take it?" Then you should know what happened to you. Those who deceived in the name of the samurai shogunate have all been fed under this moat, and you will be no exception. ”
If you fight, you can beat it, and for the teenager, at least it's no problem to fight your way out of the encirclement here.
However, in this case, it would be impossible for the letter to be delivered to Prince Yunshang, and then everything would be over.
There is also the onmyoji in the back, the young man can't see through it, once he has the idea of breaking out of the encirclement, it is estimated that this onmyoji is the biggest obstacle.
What should I do......] The young man kept reminiscing profusely.
[Did those old guys give the so-called proof!] 】
Wait a minute.
The boy suddenly remembered that there was something in his package that he had left out.
"Wait! I have proof! The boy shouted as he surrounded his guards.
The leader of the guards looked at the young man with an indistinct smile on the corner of his mouth: "Finally remembered?" ”
Waving, the leader of the guard motioned for all his men to retreat, walked to the young man alone and lowered his body and asked, "Take out the proof." ”
The boy took out a ticket with a face value of one hundred yuan from his backpack and quietly slipped it into the hand of the leader of the guard.
"Please be accommodating, big brother, I really have something important......," the young man also pleaded softly to the head of the guard.
That's right, the boy was still wondering before, the road he walked was all mountain roads, and he would only encounter monsters all the way down, and the money ticket that was stuffed in the package was useless at all.
Now the truth is revealed, it turns out that this is the so-called "proof".
The young man secretly rejoiced in his heart: [Fortunately, I didn't burn the money ticket as paper before......]
The leader of the guard was not satisfied with this amount: "You have so little money to send beggars, right?" ”
The young man was not in a hurry, and continued to hand the four money tickets to the head of the guard with a smile: "Please be accommodating." ”
The psychology of the leader of the guard, the young man is clear.
It's nothing more than wanting to get more oil and water, and if you give him all the money tickets at once, it is estimated that he may not be satisfied.
[So, I hate officials and squires and nobles......] Although I hate it in my heart, the young man still continued to take out ten money tickets from his backpack.
"Please be accommodating." The boy handed the ten money tickets to the leader of the guard, who was hesitating.
Although it is precious money, it is just useless waste paper for teenagers.
"Although you give a lot of money...... But the rules can't be broken......" said the leader of the guards, embarrassed to the boy.
The boy sensed that this was the best time to do so, and handed all the money tickets he had left to the leader of the guards.
The leader of the guards was shocked by the huge amount of money, and then sighed and said, "Well, what's the problem even if you make an exception once?" ”
So the leader of the guard said to the young man, "This is a special situation, and no one can enter the city, so give me your letter first." I'll help you transfer it to Prince Yunshang. ”
The young man vetoed: "No! I must hand the letter to Prince Yunshang with my own hands! What is the special circumstance that why can't you let me into town? ”
The leader of the guard was a little helpless about the young man's resolute attitude, so he sneakily said to the young man: "Because Prince Yunshang is not in the city now......"
"Not in town?" The boy received an unexpected answer and hurriedly continued to ask.
"Yes, Xiao'an Village was recently destroyed by a ghost, which has become a very serious consequence. Therefore, Prince Yunshang personally led 30,000 elite soldiers to eliminate the demon. I guess I'm on my way back now...... Hey? The Guardian Leader whispered confidential information, but stopped halfway through the Guardian Leader.
The teenager is gone.
The teenager, who had already run away without a trace, rushed towards Xiao'an Village.
【Damn!】 Is that head of the guard an idiot! The young man rushed to Xiao'an Village with the afterimage.
The fierce wind in the wild ran like a cold knife left scratches on the boy, and the scratches continued to ooze blood.
Prince Yunshang may already be in danger of his life.
[Prince Yunshang himself is a powerful onmyoji, and he can also lead 30,000 elite soldiers to crusade...... It can't be an ordinary youkai! 】
Most importantly, the boy found the right body of his fear.
I don't know when it started, was it a long time ago, or a brief past, or is it just now? Within a radius of a thousand miles, you can begin to feel the terrifying coercion.
This coercion continued to press on the young man's body, and the closer he got to Xiao'an Village, the more the young man felt how much this coercion wanted to crush him to death.
In a field of vision that normal people can't see, the teenager sees it.
The sky was covered in black madness and scarlet ghostly energy, and the sky within a thousand miles was rudely replaced by black and red.
How far is the range of a thousand miles? One mile is equal to 500 meters, and one thousand miles is equal to 500,000 meters.
The area of 500,000 square meters covers almost the entire Izumo Island.
Exaggerated to the point of indescribable, the teenager who witnessed the extreme horror was almost unable to move.
"How...... How could it be ......"
The youkai in the entire Izumo range were so frightened by the terrifying coercion that they cried wolf, and even the gods avoided this existence.
A violent roar faintly sounded in the already mutated sky, and the black ghost dragon almost ripped through the blood cloud and crawled out.
Coercion alone can already make living and non-living creatures fearful, and the young man can only think of one adjective in his mind.
Ghosts.
A real ghost.
Ghosts among ghosts, gods among gods.
The next thing the boy faces is probably a ghost god who can destroy all Izumo alone.
The existence itself is a false ghost, a ghost god who can scare the gods to death.
The teenager, who had been occupied by fear and whose mind was already blank, couldn't even move.
The arm that was constantly trembling and staggered out the black knife.
The young man, who could barely hold the black knife, used the last remaining courage to control his arm and plunge the black knife into his ribs.
The sound of flesh cutting, the boy's right rib spurted blood.
The teenager who used the severe pain as a tranquilizer still trembles, but he has regained his basic mobility by using the pain sensation a little.
The trembling boy walked slowly towards Xiao'an Village, which was not far away.
Can you really win? This kind of ghostly ......
The teenager didn't know.
