Chapter Twenty-Three: The Last Diary
There's nothing to see next.
It's like a ridiculous mime, the hundred ghosts who have lost their backbone are scattered one after another, some are unyielding to the death, suppressed and sealed, and some see that the general trend has gone, covering the evacuation of the monsters under their command.
In short, the army was defeated.
Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at it and felt very angry.
How to describe it, for example, you are playing an RPG online game, and you are fighting to the death with a rival union, and suddenly the GM makes a move and deletes the account of the president on your side - who can be convinced?
That's the reality.
Although it may be a bit shameless to boast about himself like this, Uesugi Kiyoshi has just observed the battle situation from the perspective of a swordsman, and the probability of the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts winning is actually ridiculously high.
The reason is very simple, his enemies are all detached and do not work.
The demonic Yuzao had a fight with a little Zhengtai who looked like Liu Longren, which was outrageous.
The Onmyoji of the Fujiwara family is fundamentally defensive, and even if it is Genji's onibei, it is only trembling with the oni clan of the Great River.
The other Onmyoji didn't make a move at all, just came over to watch the battle and go through the motions.
The Aragami of Takamagahara, from beginning to end, did not show his face except for the glow of divine power.
Although Izanami, a veritable goddess in Japanese mythology, controls the filthy waters of the Yellow Springs, she is clearly at a disadvantage in the battle with Gen Kiyoya, the lord of the hundred ghosts.
The sword, like an all-pervasive poisonous snake, roams around Izanami's vital points, the sword is full of brilliance, the water of the Yellow Spring cannot be polluted, the divine power cannot be shattered, it is indestructible, and the sword is paradoxical and unpredictable.
This was a real eye-opener for Kiyoshi Uesugi.
He can also do this in the confrontation with the swordsman, anticipating the opponent's moves, so as to be the last to strike, and use the sword momentum to block the enemy's course of action, so that he is controlled everywhere.
But in the struggle involving extraordinary strength, he did more to use "force" to suppress people.
The Baiwen cards from the Hundred Ghost Picture Scrolls, as well as the vast mirage, are all his magic weapons to win.
On the contrary, it is the skill of swordsmanship, which he uses very little.
Because you can predict the swordsman's moves, but it's hard to predict a transcendent, or a change in the ability of a ghost.
But... The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts can.
The movement of the water of the Yellow Spring was accurately predicted by him.
Uesugi Kiyoshi can be sure that in half an hour at most, Izanami will be defeated.
And then... The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts stopped his movements very abruptly, as if he had been pressed the pause button.
Then he was hit hard by a trick and his life returned to Huangquan.
This result is unacceptable to him.
Because... That's himself.
As he pondered, the two mirrors in front of him and behind him dimmed at the same time, returning to nothingness.
A faint voice reached his head.
"That's it, I'm running out of power."
"I don't know what will happen in the future, but that's not what I should be concerned about."
"There are some other things, I didn't mention, they are all written in that Edo Genji Story, which is the [backup] of the memories I left."
"What can be shown to you is unsealed in it, and what is not unsealed is what you can't know, and those will automatically appear in that diary when you understand who our enemy is."
“...”
"I'm finally relieved... Kiyoshi Uesugi, next, it's up to you. ”
"Take care..."
Uesugi Kiyoshi came back to his senses, and the book "The Tale of Edo Genji" was already held in his hand by some time.
Subconsciously opened the cover, and the fluorescent Chinese characters flashed on the paper.
"The Baiwen card in the Hundred Ghosts Picture Scroll was designed by me, you shouldn't have forgotten our old business in the Celestial Empire, write some logic programs, I'm still quite good."
"In order to prevent you from having no memory of your past life, and there is no guide when you step into the transcendent, I set up a hundred ghost scrolls as a guide, so that you can become stronger as easy as playing a game, killing monsters and upgrading, it's not difficult to understand, right?"
"Hmm..."
"You can use the power of the hundred ghosts under your command, it's not our specialty, those ghost kings, more or less can use the power of their subordinates, it depends on the contract, in short, those powers are not harmful to you."
"Absorbing the mirage to become stronger, it is the power I obtained from our enemies, when Yuan Qingya used it before, there were side effects, but I used some means, if Uesugi Kiyoshi used it, the side effects have been minimized."
"How can I say it, this ability is like the ability to kill ghosts and gods, it is very conspicuous, and those ghosts and gods in the Heian period regard me as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and there is more or less this reason."
"Think about it, there is an existence that can kill them at will, and it can also absorb their lifelong accumulation and transform it into their own strength, whoever is replaced, I am afraid that they will be panicked and not at peace."
"So, when the news was deliberately spread, I was already the enemy of the whole world."
"The decisive battle of Heiankyo that day was the fastest time I went, and they didn't react, otherwise, I am afraid that I would face more than those enemies."
"Forget it... It's useless to say this. ”
"Memory and sword heart, I sealed it together, this sword heart awakening is useless to you at all, I did something similar a thousand years ago."
"The so-called Mingxin Mirror, Sword Heart Seed, is just a prop to stimulate enlightenment, infinitely amplifying the desire of the heart, so as to make the spiritual power produce a qualitative change, it is not a profound method, but it is better than being efficient and simple, so there are many people who use it."
"When you return to this world, my sword heart, sword intent, and qi will be inherited by you as they are, with the enhanced physical strength and systematic swordsmanship learning given to you by the previous Hundred Ghost Scrolls, this power, you should take it."
"Let me think about it, what else is missing... This kind of suicide note-like thing, I really haven't written it, I don't have much experience, I want a stubble is a stubble, you can make do with it. ”
"Oh... By the way, I left something for you in Kyoto, and Achai is there to help me guard it, so I shouldn't lose it, if you go and get it, pay more attention to the relevant information of [Inujin], you should be able to find it. ”
"Also, the ability to kill ghosts and gods, and the ability to absorb mirage, did have side effects before, but now it should be nothing, you can use it with confidence, but don't rely too much on these, the most important thing is your own strength."
“...”
"If anything... Make more friends. ”
"At the beginning, I didn't have the means to resist a large number of ghosts, gods and monsters, and although I became a god, I was still helpless, so I changed my strategy."
"I'm just going to make friends with ghosts and gods."
"The effect... Remarkable! ”
"Some ghosts and gods are really kinder than humans, keeping promises, and being loyal."
"What we have to do cannot be done without the help of many friends, and it is difficult for a lone wolf to do it."
"Alright, that's all for the ramblings."
"There are also three pages of single chapters sealed in the diary, telling the story of Xing, Ah Chai, and Qingxing and me."
"You have some leisure, you can take a look."
“...”
"Farewell, Kiyoshi Uesugi."
"May you... Don't forget the original intention. ”
