Chapter 325: Grotesque: Eight-Headed Pattern (Part II)
May 28, 11:25 p.m
"You're pretty good, you actually know the spell that the group of women pass alone" The snake pattern on the arm kept wriggling, just from the appearance of the kind of "Your mother is a witch, right?"
"What do you have to do with it," Chong pasted the last piece of talisman paper and dipped some blood from the bottle, intending to draw a ghost talisman on his finger
"Why not use your blood"
ββ¦β¦ It will make the work done just now undone, "Your own blood can't be used as a sealing medium, and the key used to open the door is inserted in the lock, do you want to be able to close something?"
ββ¦β¦ So as I told you, I'll tell you something about that thing," and it lifted a snake's head and neck from its arm, "but first I'll tell you what I am."
"The god of wind and rain, the Great Snake, even if you are not Japanese, you know your legend" Takagawa whispered a few words of mass and then began to draw the talisman "What else is there to say"
"O god of wind and rain...... It's a nostalgic term," it bobbed its head up and down as if it wanted to spit out a silver letter, "I thought you should all call me a snake demon who caused trouble."
"Originally, it was the god of water, but it was later misinterpreted as a demon," Chong said as if mocking, "However, the Heavenly Cloud Sword found from your tail is enshrined as a national treasure."
"I love to hear this," it let out a "rustling" laugh from its mouth, "but you are wrong, I am not mistaken as a demon, I was indeed the water god in charge of this Yizhou River, but after that day, I became a terrifying monster who wanted to eat girls"
"Don't tell anyone what's next, don't even remember it in your head," it struggled to crane its neck to its eyes, "for I'm going to tell you the darkest history of this country."
"I can't remember how long it was, I was still under Takashi's water, and one day I saw a wine vat flowing into my eyes along the source of the water, and the sweet aroma of wine was constantly spreading outward, so I opened it" It said in a hoarse old man's voice, and the tone sounded like it had opened a forbidden Pandora's box "The wine in it doesn't seem like it can be brewed by any one person, of course I didn't care, the wine that the gods on land drank when they feasted was similar to this one, But the key is what happens after I drink."
"Since that night, I have had a lot of abdominal pain every day, and the pain has caused a flash flood, and Tenyu and Amaterasu have cared about me so they have sent me an elixir, but after eating it, I have even more unbearable abdominal pain, and they have no choice but to let me go from Takashi, the source of the hundred rivers, to Izumo downstream, so that even if I make a fuss under the water, the flash flood will not be too fierce" Speaking of this, it can't help but feel nostalgic for the ancient times, when it was still in the high position of the gods, but it didn't take long for it to become a sacrifice for warriors
"Izumo originally calmed down for two or three years, and those pains didn't take away my mind, and I was still the snake god who guarded the hundred rivers, but one day a girl admired me, so she came to the river from the top of the river to worship me, and the waves swept over her and fell into the water, and when I was in a hurry to save it, a head suddenly didn't listen to the command," and the other seven of its heads began to dance, "He actually went straight over the other seven heads and swallowed the girl straight into his stomach! So I hurriedly dived into the water to find out why, and as long as we had the same thoughts, we would not make any different movements from the rest of the songs, but I had no choice but to hide under the water again and dare not show my head."
ββ¦β¦ Okay, "After sticking the ghost talisman to Chong, he also plans to listen to the story quietly, and then what? β
"Then the other six of my heads began to get angry, and I soon knew that I might have been possessed by something hidden in the wine" It shook its head, and its body kept glowing red, "but at that time I was no longer able to return to the sky alone, I was hidden in the innermost part by the other seven, and as more and more girls were eaten, I became more and more unable to control my body, and finally on that day I was cut off by the ten-fist sword"
ββ¦β¦ There's nothing new in the story," Chong could only say
"The story is a fiction made up to confuse the listener's eyeballs, and how can there be so many dramatic developments in the truth" It let out a "rustle" laugh again, "The key is in the back, I finally understand what that thing does"
(Still don't know what that thing is...... When Chong heard this, he realized that there was still a mystery in that thing
"Before I died, I turned my backbone into a heavenly cloud sword and hid it in my tail, and then Susanoo, who was supposed to be the god of the ten seas, gave the heavenly cloud sword to Amaterasu, and Amaterasu recognized my soul lurking in it, so she renamed the heavenly cloud sword Kusanagi sword, and then immersed it in the sea water for three years, and she went to the sea water to take a bath three times a day, as the sun god with unparalleled light, she was naturally not comparable to me, and the dirt that she fell into the bottom of the sea when she bathed turned into ten thousand needles and pierced into the hilt of the sword, Soon after, the thing that hid in the Sky Cloud Sword along with my mutilated soul in order to save his life escaped down the sea to an unknown place, and Amaterasu was worried that it would continue to turn the rest of the gods into evil spirits, so he divided my remaining soul into several parts, and the soul of the most powerful power was hidden in the sword, and later when the people of Atsuta Jingu worshipped the Kusanagi sword, I threw the Kusanagi sword back into the water because I fought with the rest of the filth, The most docile soul of devotion is buried under the seabed, responsible for guarding the river and preventing it from going down the river again, and now the mark on your hand is made of the soul of the mean, Amenasu gave this to her brother Susanoo, so he has become the lord of a country, in order to prevent future generations from being corrupted by that thing, he divided me into countless parts again, and stipulated that I should be put into their corpses before the heirs died, but now they only think that I am a ritual to escort their soulsβ
ββ¦β¦ After talking for a long time, you still haven't gotten to the point, what the hell is that thing? Chong said that he had heard enough of the story, and now it's time to get down to business
"I'm going to tell you about the past because it's part of me now...... No, it's in your body," it suddenly bent down and bit its own arm, blood dripping down its fingers, but instead of letting go, it beckoned the others to bite together
"Do you still want to run after hearing so many stories?" One of the heads took out a black clay-like substance from the palm of his hand, "I saw you want to follow the shadow and run away!" What you are waiting for is now when you are out of your heart because you have no nutrients! β
βοΌοΌβ Heart?! This thing was just in my heart?!
"That's part of that thing.,They reside in the body of the creature and activate its brutal and ignorant side.γMost of the Japanese monsters are created by them" Seven heads stared at this thing to prevent it from escaping" The pill I took at the beginning made it continue to grow, and then even my own head was manipulated by it, it was probably suppressed by someone in the depths of the earth's core after escaping from the Heavenly Cloud Sword, but after countless years it was liberated, and that night it sneaked into the mausoleum and stole the body of your emperor, I fought with the Emperor's funeral samurai who woke up from his slumber and fought with him, but in the end I was defeated because I had been sleeping for too long and my strength was weak, and I had to re-inhabit the body of the corpse, and the samurai seemed to have taken something out of the coffin, but it seems that he did not take it out of the mausoleum."
"Infiltrated the mausoleum and stole the body...... But why did the body disappear before the coffin was opened, and then someone pushed the coffin open from inside? β
"What's that? I watched it manipulate the corpse and push the coffin open, and that was the first light I saw in years" It struggled to break free from its arm and jumped to the ground and said it didn't know the problem "It's not a coffin or two corpses, you yourself are wrong"
ββ¦β¦ So are you going to dispose of this thing or I'm going to do it" Chong could only skip this question, he wouldn't believe that he and everyone in the two major factions of science and mystery could be wrong, there were still a lot of secrets in this matter
"It can't be removed, I'll let you out of here now" The three heads burrowed into the dark ground and turned into a big hole in an instant, "I'm going to trap it here, it won't be long before this realm will be closed forever, this is the grave I specially prepared for myself, I'm going to continue to consume it here"
ββ¦β¦ What about the promised remuneration? β
"What a troublesome boy" another head stuck into his arm, "not that strong, but at least it can be used as a lifeline"
ββ¦β¦ Goodbye," Chong jumped into the hole and turned around and vanished
ββ¦β¦ Tut! Feed! Brat! Treat it as if I begged you! It doesn't matter how many people you bring! There is a secret passage under the clear spring on the left side of the Emperor's Mausoleum! That's where we left in the first place! After entering, follow the order of 9184 to the depths of the mausoleum! Turn the innermost turntable out of the way for me! Please! β
"So bastard thing...... I'm going to settle accounts with you like this! The passage to the outside world is gone, and it uses up all its remaining energy to transform into a giant demon snake from the pattern, "You bastard will stay this time!" There's no way anyone can get out anyway! β
"Come on! The strength of Lao Tzu's Eight Miscellaneous Demon Snake will let you taste it now! β
postscript
"The host, Sama, we are back ~ I brought a lot of stuff from the temple fair...... Ay? Is the host Sama already out of the house? When Tamamo returned from outside with a group of "minors", there was no one in the house
"It's clear that the night is so chaotic now...... "Tamamo was a little worried after putting down the things in his hand, "There won't be anything going on, right?" β
"Who knows, I'll go to the bathroom and take off my kimono first"
"I'll go too"
"I'll go straight back to my room, I'm sleepy."
"Whew~"
"I'll eat the rest of the candy apples."
"Do you want me to go find the boss" The only sensible one seems to be Cerberus
"Forget it...... It's impossible for the owner Sama to be wary at all" Tamamo gave up after thinking about it and "and I'm confident in my master Sama that ordinary youkai won't hurt him"
"Hehe~ But what if he goes to the Emperor's Mausoleum~" A woman's chuckle suddenly came from the living room
"Woo......!" Cerberus immediately turned into a demon dog and watched his surroundings wary
"Who are you?" Tamamo turned his kimono into a light blue ...... with a slight swing of his body Well, it's still a kimono "There are a lot of guys who haven't been interesting lately, but it usually doesn't end well"
"It's many times higher than the combat power I saw when I first came~ In front of the gatekeeper in the underworld and the famous monster Tamamo, oops, oops~ It seems that there is nothing to take advantage of~" The woman chuckled, and then a pair of jade hands stretched out from the void, and she could vaguely see the moving smiles of the people inside, "How about making a deal, I'll help you take care of him, provided I need you to steal something from his room"
"Dreaming/Neuropathy"
"Oops~ It's really hurtful~ If it weren't for the prohibition and ignoring the spatial ability, where would I be able to trouble you~ But is it really good, what he is going to turn is the Shisheng Stone in the depths of the Emperor's Mausoleum~"
βοΌβ Tamamo was stunned on the spot after hearing this, and then suddenly yelled regardless of his demeanor, "What are you kidding!" Let's not mention how to get in! That thing is a treasure that no one in the world of life and death can touch! β
"Don't make a noise until the rest of the people rest, then believe it or not, I'll be responsible for getting him out, and you just need to help me get a little thing"
"Hey, is that thing awesome? Is there a Rasheng wheel in the house next door to us? Cerberus asked, tilting his head
"The Rasheng wheel should be a reincarnation tool that can only be promoted by the king of Yama...... The Ten Living Stone is more powerful than it," Tamamo said in front of the Lonely Voice, "At the beginning, my killing stone was gently knocked into pieces by it and flew to various parts of Japan, and after I came to the world, I was relieved to hear that it had been made into a roulette wheel and placed in the Emperor's Mausoleum, because then it would not appear again."
"It looks like the problem is serious...... Good! Woman, I promise you! If you can get back the boss's life, it doesn't matter if the head is cut off by the boss afterwards! Cerberus replied at once
"Deal~" I only heard the beauty smile and the fan patted and no sound came
"Your name," Tamamo asked in a cold voice, knowing that she hadn't gone far yet
"In front of Your Excellency, it's not good for us little monsters to open our mouths and report our names casually~ But since you asked, I'll dare to say a word~"
"Monster sage Yakumo Purple, please keep in mind today's promise, don't compromise the prestige of the big monster~"
"She doesn't seem to have said she wants the two of us to steal ...... What are you taking?" asked Cerberus
"Because she knows that we understand that there is something in the room of the master Sama that the yokai need the most...... Let's go, half of that thing is on the owner Sama, but I can take it directly into my hand" Tamamo sighed helplessly, "This will also prevent her from lying and going directly to the half of the owner Sama"
(But Yakumo...... I think I heard this surname when I was in Nasuno at the beginning, but did I remember it by mistake or something? οΌ
(Total feeling...... There should be a guy next to the other party who can't see his face clearly, right? οΌ
