Chapter 21: Come to Die

The words came to an abrupt end.

The wind and clouds in the mirror are changing, and gradually there are colors.

Like a projection screen, in front of Kiyoshi Uesugi, the picture scroll spreads out.

A young man in a white sword robe and a negative armor walked on the rammed dirt road without saying a word.

He had three knives hanging from his waist, his eyes were calm, his face was resolute and resolute, and as he moved forward, a majestic momentum unconsciously emanated from his body.

It's really the kind of temperament and momentum that attracts attention at a glance.

It was "Uesugi Kiyoshi" whose face had matured a lot.

In front of him, at the end of the winding road, was a city.

The houses in the urban area are built according to the slopes of the basin, the streets rise and fall, the city looks neat, the streets of the central axis are symmetrical lines, the left and right are distinct, the voices of people are bustling, and the scenery is prosperous.

This is "Heiankyo".

It was the absolute economic and political core city of the Heian period and later Kyoto.

Genji's base camp, the "hometown" of the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts.

Now, he's back.

I don't know when, there was a shadow around him.

The blue kimono, the graceful posture, the veil half-covered the face, only revealing a pair of cold eyes, but Uesugi Qing recognized it at a glance, it was Li Fuyao.

Or - "Qingxing Lantern".

Immediately after, the sound of a conversation reached his ears.

"You just came on your own?"

The voice is exactly the same as Li Fuyao's, and it even evokes Uesugi Qing's thoughts about Li Fuyao.

Speaking of... He hadn't seen her in more than half a month.

I really can't let go of some thoughts.

The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts didn't seem surprised that there was suddenly a big living person around him, or rather, he was used to the haunting of the Qingxing Lantern.

He smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Anyway, they're all sent to death, why should I drag them along?"

"The choice is made by me, the road is chosen by me, they just follow me, there is no need to die for me."

Facing the somewhat indifferent Lord of the Hundred Ghosts, a trace of imperceptible anger appeared in Qing Xingdeng's eyes.

But soon, she was quickly pressed down again.

"Forget it, I was wrong to talk to you stubborn bastard."

"What you told me before, I agreed."

"So..."

"You don't really want to die!"

This tone is not so much blame as the girl's coquettishness.

The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts smiled with great pleasure, but his eyes were as deep as Curocumulus clouds before a rainstorm.

"Well, I promise you, I'll do my best... Leave a glimmer of life. ”

Before he finished speaking, the face of the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts changed.

He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Heiankyo.

The wind and clouds change color, and the sun and moon have no light.

For a while, the sand flew away, and the front was like a purgatory on earth.

"Here we are..."

Uesugi muttered to himself.

Heianjing, Rashomon Gate was wide open, and the figures with distinct arrays came out.

Uesugi Kiyoshi saw the familiar family crest.

Gentian's gentian, Fujiwara's rattan pattern.

"Fujiwara Michimitsu..."

"Minamoto Yorimitsu!"

"Those onmyoji... The Kamo family? Or is it the Ashiya family? ”

"Heh... Poured out of the nest, Heiankyo's extraordinary power, for me? ”

Before he could finish his sentence, the sky shone brightly, and then it became dim.

Above the clouds, a huge figure emerged.

"Hmm, the Aragami of Takamagahara? Is it because I demolished Inari Shrine to get revenge on me? ”

"And that... Is that the water of the Yellow Spring? ”

"Could it be... Izanami? ”

"It's a big battle."

The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts had the same face as usual, and he didn't have the slightest concern.

And that's not the end of it.

In Heianjing, black smoke rises everywhere, faintly casting the phantom of a big snake.

Behind the phantom of the serpent, a faint white flame burned.

"Yatsumata Yuan Lu Zhi..."

"Yaki Orochi is here, too, it's really interesting."

"And that fox fire, in front of Tamamo..."

Qing Xing Deng glared at the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts a little fiercely, and said angrily, "Can you still laugh?" ”

The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "I can't laugh at anything." ”

"These people, ghosts, and gods, have an intricate relationship, and now, they have a common enemy, which is me."

"But, as soon as I die, what will happen between them?"

"Contradictions can erupt in an instant."

"Hehe, hahahaha."

"I understand, why the location of the final game was chosen in Heiankyo, because here, those leaders among the human race will work even harder!"

"The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking."

"I'm the first, but by no means the last."

"They... Not a single one of them can run. ”

"I'm more likely to survive than they are - isn't that funny?"

Qing Xingdeng shook his head helplessly and did not speak.

The demon flames on the opposite side are monstrous, and in this era, the strongest combat power in the world is basically gathered here.

The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts took a deep breath and took a step.

At this moment, the sound of continuous footsteps sounded.

He frowned slightly, looked sideways, but was stunned.

The road that was originally empty appeared in the distance with a black spot of bullying, and it was a walking figure.

The leader walked extremely fast, and it made Uesugi Kiyoshi very familiar.

Shirtless and bold, the red-haired ghost king drank wine and sang loudly.

He stepped past the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts, and did not stop, nor did he talk, but just shouted.

"New hatred and old hatred, liquidate together - the ghost clan of the great rivers and mountains obeyed the order and attacked Rashomon, just today! I want the head of the Xiang of the source of Laiguang! ”

The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled a somewhat strangely.

"This is the tsundere's style of doing things?"

As soon as he wanted to complain and attack, he heard the wind howling in the sky.

Turning his head, the sky was covered by dark clouds - it was not a cloud, but a crow's feather.

At this moment, the day is like night, and the crow feathers cover the sky.

Like lightning, a figure appeared from the sky, with wings on his ribs, dressed in an ornate kimono and clogs, and wearing a somewhat hideous mask.

"Hmph... Such a large-scale party, without informing me, is too much for friends. ”

"The Lord of the Tengu of the Black Night Mountain, I'm here to help you!"

"The snake... I've been upset with him for a long time! ”

The Great Tengu of the Black Night Mountain, the three major monsters of Japan from ancient times to the present, stands by the side of the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts.

There was no room for greetings, and after the military momentum of the dog monsters that day, the sound of the waves followed me like a shadow.

A big loli with long blue hair, stepping on a goldfish giant ship, goes upriver along the waterway of the "Katsura River", accompanied by a water demon behind her, and the water vapor is surging.

"You saved Arakawa, this time I'll save you."

"I am the lord of the Arakawa, and I am by no means a person who has no grudges."

"Listen to the sea and listen to the waves, the demon of the barrakawa listens to the order, and the enemy is in Heiankyo!"

After the water demon, another fierce beast probed from the mountain forest, revealing its hideous minions.

Qing Xing Lan pursed his blue lip gloss lips and smiled with relief.

"The Ghost King of the Great River Mountain, the Great Tengu of the Black Night Mountain, the Mountain King of the Seven Horn Mountains, and the new Lord of the Arakawa."

"Your popularity is good."

The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts also smiled, but it was a bitter smile.

Soon, however, he withdrew his smile.

"So, this also proves that my life's efforts have not been in vain."

He took another deep breath and exhaled.

"Genji Sword Master, Lord of the Eight Kingdoms of Kanto."

"The Commander of the King of the Spirits, the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts of Edo Castle..."

"Yuan Qingya! Come and die! ”

The sonic boom is in the world, and the meaning is in the sky.

The gods in front of him are silent, and the ghosts behind him walk at night.
