Uesugi Kiyoshi believed what the wine swallowing boy said.

It is not surprising that the ghost king of the great rivers and mountains who can turn an ordinary person into what Kudo Yu called "the secret ritual who can get on the table" with just one god statue has no matter how many strange methods he has in the long years he has lived.

What he hesitated was... He didn't want a mystery.

He still vividly remembers Yokotano's death, and he is disgusted by the kind of behavior that makes mortals pay for their lives without saying anything.

He learned the sword to become stronger in order to defend himself and reason with people who could not listen to reason, instead of insisting on going his own way, bullying the weak with guns, and killing innocents indiscriminately for his own selfish desires.

This is also the fundamental reason why he is still deliberately guarding against drinking and swallowing boys, and the killing intent in his heart has not been extinguished.

It can be said that the sacrificial ceremony of the Dongwen Society was not done by him, it was the conspiracy of Dong Wenyu and Dongzhao Shenjun, but those who transformed the secret rites were always inseparable from the wine swallowing boy.

"Heh... You mean the mysteries? ”

"You want me to transform mortals I have never met into the kind of monsters that are not human ghosts or ghosts, so what is the difference between me and those man-eating demons?"

"That kind of god, don't do it!"

The red-haired ghost king shrugged his shoulders, and didn't mind Uesugi Kiyoshi's somewhat cold words and unceremonious attitude, just drank to himself and shook his head.

"Hmph... You are young and shallow, so I don't care about you. ”

"Let me ask you, there are tens of thousands of shrines in Japan, among which there are two or three out of ten who worship the true gods, and those who believe in and serve the gods are witches, priests, and shrine maidens, not to mention a few, they are also transcendent."

"However, their strength does not come from their own cultivation, according to the classification standards of your Collection Association, those are also [Secret Rites]!"

"Their strength comes from the gifts of the gods."

"So... Is there any essential difference between those who believe in ghosts and gods to gain power and those who believe in gods to gain power? ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi is quite stubborn, and it is difficult for this kind of person to be moved by words.

"I don't remember whose shrine was a witch goddess who sacrificed the living and killed as a common thing, so as to sacrifice to the gods in exchange for power."

"The weak eat the strong, if there are ghosts eating people, there will be people who kill ghosts, I can understand it, but what you want to say is so high-sounding, pulling others into the water, it is inevitably a bit too strong."

The wine swallowing boy smacked his lips, he was a little bad at words, and he suddenly opened his mouth with a plan, Uesugi Qing's words were all said about this, and he was suddenly short of words.

"It's no different, it's all the price, the difference is just the price, those priests and witches, if you say it's good, it's a caged bird, and if it's ugly, it's just a two-legged sheep, it's just a greedy person who exchanges faith for power!"

Uesugi sneered and waved his hand violently.

"That's a big difference!"

"Self-interest and self-interest at the expense of others are completely different things."

"I'm an egoist, there's nothing to be ashamed of, but... Harming others and benefiting oneself is something that deserves retribution! ”

"No one should be killed for no reason, to be sacrificed, to be bait, there is no such thing in this world!"

The drunken boy was completely dumbfounded, just gulping down and skipping the topic.

This kind of thing, people and ghosts have different positions, and it is very difficult to reach a consensus.

"Forget it, people are under the roof, I don't argue with you, my method of creating a secret ritual is only effective for the ghost clan, if humans use it, they will become monsters like the ghost clan, and I didn't say that I would give you this method."

"I'm just teaching you the technique of attaching ghost qi to objects and connecting believers and ghosts, this technique is much simpler and cruder than any spell ritual, but it costs a bit more ghost qi - you are a swordsman, do you have so much [qi] contaminated with your own breath for you to squander?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi thought about the ghost fire that automatically replies every day, and nodded silently.

He really does.

But... It's a bit strange to be courteous about nothing.

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at the drunken boy, narrowed his eyes, stared at the ghost gourd beside him, and suddenly said, "It seems that eating that third-rate swordsman of Genji will be of great benefit to you." ”

"I can't think of any reason why you're courting me, unless... You've tasted the sweetness and want to go further. ”

"I remember that Genji's waste was swallowed by your ghost gourd, and although you handed it over to me from the ghost army, such a big person can disappear out of thin air."

"You say... Where did he go? ”

With a hideous bloody mouth, the ghost gourd swayed left and right, as if he saw that the wine bowl of the wine swallowing boy was empty, and he automatically tilted his body, and the mouth of the gourd at the top flowed except for the liquid that exuded a rich aroma of wine.

Crystal like jade, orange and red like blood, it may be a little amazing at first glance, but at the second glance, the color of those wines is a little crazy.

Like blood in a cellar, thick and deep.

The drunken boy has no intention of hiding it.

"The Ghost Soldier Department and the Ghost Cutting Department are inextricably linked to our great rivers and mountains, and the Genji swordsman and the Ghost Soldier Department have a very high degree of compatibility, which is a good tonic for me."

"What? Will the messenger of justice come to criticize me, a man-eating demon? Don't forget, a knife slashed his... But you!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi was unmoved: "I'm not that boring, he is my enemy, he deserves to die, and I have to make up for it if I don't die." ”

"As for the technique you said..."

His eyes unconsciously turned to Li Fuyao, who was standing quietly aside.

After seeing the girl holding the green lantern nodding slightly in approval, he looked away and continued: "This deal is not impossible... What do you want? ”

"I don't believe you gave me this to thank you."

The wine-swallowing boy slapped his palms gently, as if he had forgotten the unpleasantness of the two of them just arguing.

"I'm not too demanding, Uesugi, Genji is a very protective and unreasonable family, if you kill their people, trouble will definitely ensue."

"So, if Genji's people come to trouble you in the future, if there is an opponent I like... Can you leave it to me? ”

"Just like today."

There are only three points of arrogance and three points of drunkenness in the eyes of the drunken boy, and the rest are all obscure colors, so that Uesugi Kiyoshi does not know what he is thinking.

This request is really not too much, and if you have to say it, it can be regarded as Uesugi Kiyoshi saving trouble and taking advantage.

He saw that Li Fuyao didn't say anything against it, and he couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he nodded slowly.

"Yes... Deal. ”

Without saying a word, as soon as he snapped his fingers, a thin and faint red mist poured into Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyebrows, and many memories were born out of thin air.

By the time Uesugi Kiyoshi digested these sudden memories, the wine swallowing boy had already re-entered the painting, and he didn't look at Li Fuyao the whole time, as if this Qingxing demon didn't exist.

"Fuyao, this thing... Does it work? ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi waved his hand casually, and the slightest mirage was like a star, like a wisp of dust, gathered in his hands from all directions, and formed a small statue of a swordsman, exactly the same as the steps of ascending to the gods in the mirage building, and the appearance of the gods.

Li Fuyao glanced at the mural on the wall and nodded slightly.

"Useful is definitely useful, but something has to be added."

As she spoke, she waved her bare hand, and a ghostly fire was born on her fingertips, and then with her tap, it covered the face of the miniature statue, turning into a fox-faced mask common at festivals.

"As I said, keep it mysterious, for the god sect, in fact, many transcendent organizations have an ambiguous attitude, as far as I know, the Collectibles Association has destroyed a lot of irregular shrine gatherings, you, as a collector, if this face appears on the idol of a certain sect, it will be very bad."

"And the mystery increases the level of piety of the believer, and makes it easier to win the trust of the people—you see, isn't that much better?"

With the finishing touch of this white fox mask, the entire statue of Uesugi Kiyoshi does seem to come to life, the action of holding the sword is sharp and domineering, the indifferent look in his eyes is a little daunting, and the mysterious white fox mask makes him even more elusive, and his temperament is a little ethereal.

"Hmm... I'd like to think about what else to tell you. ”

Li Fu shook his shoulders, tilted his head and meditated, with her movements, the girl's graceful posture was set off by the shaking sleeves, and an obvious wave was drawn in her chest, and Uesugi Kiyoshi was a little hot on her cheeks and a little wandering in her eyes.

"Well, by the way, without spells and rituals, it is really difficult to win the trust of ordinary people, and people are not easy to deceive nowadays, you might as well start with the transcendental, a transcendent believer is more important than hundreds of mortal believers."

"In the form of a small gathering, you can also create a disguised identity, not in the name of the gods, but disguised as your own believers, so that even if your existence is discovered, you can get out and not attract too much attention."

"Also, don't you have a good relationship with the eldest lady of the Dongwen family? I heard her call you sir, you can use the name of the Dongwen Society to promote sectarian beliefs in the community, which is not uncommon in the gangsters, and the extreme superstition in this country is very superstitious. ”

"In addition, it's best to get some chaebol support, you can also ask your sworn friend, his family is in the Metropolitan Police Department, the procedure for establishing a regular sect, he must understand, in this world, wearing an official skin, it is always easy to behave, anyway, you are sitting up straight, and you are not afraid of being checked, and you can use your official identity as a cover."

"By the way, you also have to think carefully about the name and divine power of the gods based on you - such as the [Great Rivers and Mountains Ghost King who commands the ghost clan], [The Lord of the Hundred Things of the Green Lantern Crossing the Soul]... The meaning of the name is very important in yin and yang, and the same is true for the gods, so you have to think carefully. ”

“...”

"That's probably all, I'll tell you if I'm missing something, anyway... The gods are not so easy to do, the greater the benefit, the more risk and pay, this ideal must be understood by you. ”

"Finally..."

Li Fuyao groaned, his expression became serious, and a pair of beautiful eyebrows frowned together.

She glanced at the ukiyo-e of the drunken boy again, and she didn't shy away from whether she could be heard, and said bluntly: "The ghost king of the great country, you better be careful." ”

"I don't remember that he was a subservient character, it is recorded in the book, during the Heian period, Yuan Laiguang led his ghost soldiers to crusade against the great rivers and mountains, and wanted to exterminate the ghost clan besieging Kyoto, and finally fought fiercely with the ghost king Jiutun for several days, and tried several times to recruit the ghost king and make him loyal, but he couldn't."

"The original prosperous ghost clan of Dajiangshan was greatly injured in that battle, and there was not one out of ten, and the ghost king was seriously injured and dying, but Yuan Laiguang had no way to kill him, so he had to seal the remnants of the ghosts and gods of Dajiangshan and the ghost king in the dream mirror, so that he could not see the light of day."

"In the end, there are only ghosts who die in battle, and there are never ghosts who surrender."

"But now it seems that his attitude towards you... Something strange. ”

"Anyway, if he gets into trouble, it may be a big problem."

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded silently, this view coincided with him.

"Hey... The Lord of Hundred Things is too arrogant, not to mention that kid's sword, as long as the dignified Qingxing Demon makes a move, it is enough for me to drink a pot, why bother to tempt? ”

A deep baritone voice rose in response, and although he sighed, he didn't mean much discouragement.

Li Fuyao smiled at this time, and replied lightly: "It's better that I think too much." ”

"I hope that my green lantern will not cross the soul of the ghost king one day!"

The tone was soft, but the words were murderous, with a hint of gunpowder.

The drunken boy chuckled, but he didn't know if he cared, or if he didn't care about it, and he didn't care about it, so he fell silent.

Li Fuyao didn't have any intention of chasing and fighting, she pursed her lips with blue lip gloss, lowered her head slightly, took two steps forward, and naturally held Uesugi Kiyoshi's hand.

"Okay, I don't have anything to say, this kind of thing is actually very personal, I can't help you much."

"You'll have the rest up on your own."

"Let's go~"

Uesugi Kiyoshi had too many new things pouring into his mind at this time, and he was stirred up like paste, so he subconsciously asked, "Let's go?" Where to? ”

The girl god wearing blue and white vibrating sleeves put her hands behind her back, the green light in her hand swayed slightly, leaned forward, the smile on her face was bright, her lips were only two or three centimeters away from Uesugi Kiyoshi's face, and Rulan's breath drilled into Uesugi Kiyoshi's nostrils one by one, making him a little uneasy.

"Didn't I say it, no one came to pick me up today."

"Send me home~"
