In Japanese historical legends, the night walk of a hundred ghosts is not a hideous and terrifying phenomenon, about the beginning of the legend of the Heian period, human beings and monsters coexist in the city, Kyoto has just moved the capital to a night, because of the sparse population, so often the whole road is empty, at this time there will be many strange monsters, like the ranks of the temple fair, with different faces, wandering in the streets of this world, when it is called "night walking of the hundred ghosts".

To tell the truth, in the eyes of most people, the night walk of the hundred ghosts is not a terrible existence, and even a little romantic expectation, after all, the night walk of the hundred ghosts is the ghosts who haunt and wander on the street, generally speaking, the well water does not violate the river water with human beings, and the more daring people even use this exciting experience as a talking point to show off to their friends, attracting envy.

It wasn't until the end of the Heian period that the appearance of the great demon Tamamo changed the balance between humans and youkai, and finally the human onmyoji fought a decisive battle with the oni, which ended in the successful sealing of the yokai into the onimon of Mt. Fuji.

Since moving to Japan, the Xu family has shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding the ghost gate of Mt. Fuji, and after many generations of inheritance and intermarriage, in addition to the family still maintaining the Han surname, the side branch has been divided into different surnames such as Abe, Yagami, Kusanagi, Kagura, and Siwolf, and for the sake of convenience, the descendants of the Xu family will occasionally use the side surname as an alias. As a rotation, once every ten years, a child with a surname will be responsible for guarding the Hell Ghost Gate of Mt. Fuji, but since the Heian period, the Hell Ghost Gate has been closed for a thousand years, and every ten years, the Xu family will once again add dozens of large and small seals to the ghost gate that has been marked with thousands of seals, so the so-called guarding the ghost gate, after a thousand years, it has become a routine matter that is more formal than a ritual.

In addition, this year coincides with the quadrennial Four Spirits Conference held in Tokyo, and the Xu family is holding back enough energy to make a good appearance, so most of the energy and manpower are invested in the preparation of this conference, and only the third generation of the seven Xu families who have just come of age are on duty to guard the ghost gate. At first, these young onmyoji were quite excited about guarding the ghost gate. After all, the mission of protecting the peace and joy of the world, and the mission of being the gate of ten thousand ghosts sounds both exciting and romantic, and these teenagers who have just come of age are all gearing up for it.

However, the gap between reality and ideals has taught this group of young onmyoji, who are still in adolescence, a good lesson. From the snowy New Year to the autumn breeze, the spruce trees in the mountains of Mt. Fuji sprouted again and again, and the snow on the top of the Sword Peak changed a few times, and the gate of ten thousand ghosts still did not move. The original longed-for town guard has also become a boring act of seven young onmyoji stepping on the snow in a daze.

Xu Yi is the eldest of this group of young onmyoji, he is nineteen years old this year, compared to others, Yu Yi is still old, and it is officially because of his reprimand. The other six little ones, who had long been unbearable, had already erupted en masse and descended the mountain.

On this day, it happened that Yu Yi took another young young onmyoji Xu Lin to be in charge of the routine inspection, their inspection was actually very simple, go to the top of Mount Fuji and Fuji in the Fuji Eight Peaks Kusu Shiyue to check whether the seal of the ghost gate is intact, this routine inspection has been carried out hundreds of times in the past half a year.

"Tatsuya-kun, when do you think we're going to stay here before we leave?" Xu Lin had a bitter face, and angrily kicked a stone on the side of the road far away.

“…… How many times have I said that in my family we should use a Chinese name to commensurate me! Yu Yi was a little annoyed, and Abeda was also his Japanese name. After coming to Japan from the Xu family, the elders of the Xu family strictly ordered that the children of the family must call each other by Chinese names, but as the years went by, more and more young generations did not follow this rule at all. After all, the bloodline of the previous generation has been inherited so far, and it has become more and more indifferent.

"Okay, Fifth Brother, how about we go back to Tokyo this weekend? I heard that the shopping street is going to have an autumn festival. There's a lot of excitement to see. Xu Lin pursed his lips and stubbornly changed his name to Fifth Brother, but he still refused to call him Yu Yihan.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Although Xu Lin claims to have held a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen, he is actually still a child in his bones, he loves to be lively and fun, and he has been on Mount Fuji for more than half a year, and he is indeed about to suffocate them, not to mention Xu Lin, even Yu Yi himself feels that he is about to go crazy.

As they spoke, the two of them had already reached the top of Mount Kusushidake. The world-famous summit of Mount Fuji surrounds the jagged crater rim with a total of eight small peaks of different shapes, known as the Eight Peaks of Fuji: Kenmine, Mt. Hakuyama, Mt. Kusushi, Mt. Oichi, Mt. Izu, Mt. Seiki, Mt. Komaga, and Mt. Mitsugatake. And the most precipitous of them is the place where the great onmyoji Abe Harumi and Ashiya Michiman of the former Heian era joined forces to seal the gate of ten thousand ghosts, originally Abe Harumi was a once-in-a-century genius of the Xu family, and the seal he set should be perfect, but the jealous Ashiya Michiman secretly left a flaw in the seal, ready to seize the power of ten thousand ghosts for his own use, fortunately he was finally recognized by Harumi, and Ashiya Michiman was killed by Harumi, but the flaws in the seal are irreparable, Therefore, it can only be guarded by the descendants of the Xu family for generations to prevent ten thousand ghosts from breaking the seal and reappearing.

There is a deserted red torii gate at the top of Mt. Kusushidake, and under this torii gate is the gate of ten thousand ghosts.

"It's here, look, there's nothing going on, the fifth brother is okay, right? Can we go down? Xu Lin lowered his head, and while intently kicking the stones on the side of the road, he urged Yu Yi to hurry up and go down the mountain.

Yu Yi did not speak.

"Fifth brother? Fifth Brother ...... Ay! Yu Yi, what are you doing...... Xu Lin was also a little unhappy, he just thought that Yu Yi deliberately ignored him because he didn't call him by name, and he raised his head while snorting angrily.

Then Xu Lin, like Yu Yi, became a wooden man.

I saw that the red torii gate that originally stood on the top of Mount Kusushidake was interrupted waist-high at some point, and it was thrown to the ground at random like a scattered chopping wood, and under the torii, the Iaishi of the ghost gate also cracked a large crack, like an egg that had been cut open from it, and it split into two petals and rolled off. For thousands of years, the seal blessed by the Xu family era has also been shattered cleanly with the destruction of the torii gate and the Iaishi.

On the day when the seal of the ghost gate is gone, when all ghosts reappear in the world.

Xu Yi and Xu Lin invariably recited this proverb left by the former great onmyoji Abe Qingming, which is the first mantra recited by every child of the Xu family after becoming literate, and it will never be forgotten since then. For Xu Yi and Xu Lin, this ancient ritual is just the old man in the family stubbornly following the old tradition, but it has never been read as much as today.

However, the strange thing is that since the seal of the ghost gate has been broken, then the ten thousand ghosts who have been sealed here since the Heian period will inevitably rush out of the ground and see the light of day, but at this moment, the peak of Kusushidake Peak, except for the scattered torii fragments and the cracked Iai stone, the clouds are light and the wind is light, as usual.

Xu Yi and Xu Lin exchanged opinions - of course, they didn't have any ideas at all at the moment, and quickly made a decision to use the Xu family's most urgent way to send orders: call the phone number of the head of the Xu family. In fact, Xu Yi originally planned to follow the tradition and put a flaming arrow to report or something, but the efficiency of modern communication tools is far more than these so-called emergency communication methods in ancient times......

An hour later, the Xu family's team rushed to the top of Mount Fuji in a hurry, this time, the Xu family can be called the elite, except for a team of people who are on duty to wait for Xu Mingming in the moon house, almost all the strongest lineup of the Xu family came to the top of Mount Fuji. You must know that in the former Heian era, Abe Harumi, as the most amazing genius of the Xu family, also had to borrow the power of Ashiya Michiman to seal the ghost gate, although he knew that Ashiya Michiman was not well-intentioned, but Qingming could only cooperate with him, because the spiritual power required to seal the ghost gate was not something that the Xu family could do unilaterally.

And now, although the Xu family is vigorous, compared to Abe Qingming, it is really not worth a show, Xu Mingming, who has inherited the spiritual power of Lord Qingming, has to guard the Yuejian House, so although the Xu family has a large number of people, everyone still has no bottom in their hearts.

What are the consequences of ten thousand ghosts rushing out of the ghost gate, the Xu family knows better than anyone else.

When the large army arrived, the sealed place on the top of Mount Kusushitake was indeed as reported by the two juniors, the seal was broken cleanly, and there was no doubt that the ghost gate had been broken. But what to do next, a group of masters of the Xu family also stared at each other and didn't know what to do. After all, for them, they are just dozens of years older than Xu Yi and Xu Lin, and no one knows what to do if something goes wrong with this kind of thing left by their ancestors thousands of years ago.

"I said third brother, it should be certain that the seal of the Ghost Gate has been broken...... Has the day of the return of all demons arrived? Half a ring, a bold old man asked the head of the Xu family. Lao Xu is the third in line, talented and intelligent, and is the most outstanding talent in the previous generation of the family, so he ascended to the position of the head of the family twenty years ago, and the question was the fourth child of the Xu family, the two of them grew up together, and the third and fourth children called around all day long, even if they grew up, they didn't change their words.

Lao Xu pinched his beard and groaned for a long time, and he didn't know how to answer, if he saw the ghosts running around all over the mountains as soon as he came up, it would be simple, just throw off his arms and do it, of course, we can't beat it, let's talk about it separately......

But now he came up and saw nothing, which made Lao Xu difficult.

In the end, Lao Xu could only order to disperse on the spot, expand the spiritual sense, and see if the ghosts escaped to other places, but for these legendary monsters from thousands of years ago, the modern onmyoji can deal with it and have no bottom in their hearts, so everyone said that it was scattered, but in fact, they were walking around on the top of Jiusu Zhiyue Peak, for fear that they would be dragged away by the old monster if they were alone.

Tossed for most of the day, still didn't find anything, Lao Xu saw that this was okay, can't just be consumed on the top of the mountain, and was about to announce the closing of the team to find another way, at this time the phone rang.

"Head of the house...... Big event! Akihabara ...... Hyakki is nocturnal!! (To be continued......)
