Chapter Ninety-Six: The Steps of the Ascending God

The dream is not clear, and the awakening is also very fast.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was awakened in the mirage building.

I don't know how long it has been, but his soul has awakened, and he can return to this world at any time if he wants.

He shook his head, and he couldn't remember the story of the dog god in his dream.

He wanted to reminisce carefully, but the different scenery in front of him temporarily diverted his attention.

"This is..."

The body of the dog god, he had seen it before, since all the canujin scrolls were lit, the eight inujin hundred smell cards had disappeared, and in their place, a living inu god appeared in the mirage building of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

He now uses the moves of the dog god, and he no longer needs to be restricted by the "Baiwen card", as long as his "ghost fire" is enough, he can use the sword skills and abilities of the dog god as he likes.

In the same way, he can also summon the true body of the dog god to assist him in battle, this real body of the dog god is like a gundam, comparable to a tall building, which is really a great killing weapon.

However, the ghost fire, physical strength, and mental power required to activate the true body of the dog god were so huge that it was a little difficult for him to accept.

Moreover, according to the information transmitted by the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll, he is not yet fully compatible with the dog god, and this ghost god named the dog god has even greater potential to be tapped.

But what is going on with this statue of himself?

When he was confused, a stream of mixed information rushed into his mind.

He covered his forehead with some pain, and after carefully distinguishing and reading for a while, he opened his eyes in disbelief, looked at the statue in front of him, and muttered to himself: "What? ”

"This is the [altar]? Is the [Divine Body] on the [Altar]? ”

"Isn't that what the shrine uses to worship the gods?"

"Why is it in the Mirage Building?"

He's talking to himself, but... But someone answered him.

"You don't even know what it is?"

"That's... Ascend the Steps of the Gods! ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi was shocked and suddenly turned around.

It is not the people who speak, but the portraits.

Hyakki painting scrolls are scattered all over the walls of the mirage building in the form of murals, and they are full of portraits of youkai and ghosts, and there are naturally pictures on the walls behind Uesugi Kiyoshi.

The portrait of Kiyoshi Uesugi who spoke was very familiar.

The red hair is soaring to the sky, the air is magnificent, the body is majestic, and there is a ghost gourd behind him.

It's a drunken boy!

In his stunned kung fu, the drunken boy actually stepped out and appeared alive in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"The roster of monsters, the picture scroll of a hundred ghosts, and the steps of ascending to the gods, the statues of the gods..."

"Your ambition is not small..."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's face was a little awe-inspiring, and he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Wine swallowing? You're not dead? ”

The wine-swallowing boy smiled, sat down cross-legged, didn't see anything outside, stretched out his hand and a wine bowl appeared out of thin air, and the ghost gourd behind him shook a few times, pouring out a bowl of orange-red wine.

After drinking the wine in the cup, the wine-swallowing boy exhaled a mouthful of wine.

"As I said, I'm not that easy to die."

"Ghosts, it's not as simple as you think."

“...”

"I'd like to say that..."

"But I'm still alive this time, in fact, it's thanks to you, your Hundred Ghost Scroll is so weird that it can make the soul of the Dongzhao Divine Monarch who still has believers in the world fly away, disrupt his divine soul, and collect all the divine power for his own use."

"I've really never seen this kind of terrifying ability."

"It stands to reason that as long as there is one person in this world who knows the name of Tosho Shenjun, he will not die, but in your case, this rule does not seem to apply."

"I thought I would end up in the same fate, but the scroll actually let me go, and just sealed me."

"Not even my freedom, it is not imprisoned, you see, I can still appear in front of you."

Uesugi was silent, but his heart was overturned.

"What the hell is going on?"

He was very puzzled, but he could not ask this.

"The monster roster, what is the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi waved his hand, and the hand of hell holding the ghost cut quietly appeared behind him, and he stared at the wine swallowing boy with a wary expression, as if he was facing a great enemy.

The wine-swallowing boy drank another bowl of wine, and he had no intention of doing anything at all.

"Save it, I have no strength now, only a wisp of divine soul remains, and it is still sealed in your hundred ghost scrolls, I can't pose a threat to you."

"But again, you can't kill me."

"Unless you can destroy your Hundred Ghost Scroll, you won't be able to hurt me."

The drunken boy was pouring himself a drink, and Uesugi Kiyoshi was suspicious, he would not believe the words of his former enemy.

After a moment of silence, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he stretched out his hand to point, and the flame in the hand of hell was blazing, and the boy Che Angang quickly slashed down towards the wine-swallowing boy.

The drunken boy was not surprised at all, but raised his head slightly, looking like he was going to die generously.

The boy Che Angang smoothly split him in half, but in the next second, his body turned into a mirage and was put back together.

Without stopping the action of pouring wine and drinking, the drunken boy pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "Now you believe it?" ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his eyebrows, and he didn't know what to think in his heart, so he put away the ghost hand behind him and smiled reluctantly.

"I'm asking you, what exactly is the roster of monsters you you are talking about, the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll."

"Also, what is the step of ascending to the gods?"

The wine swallowing boy glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi meaningfully and put down the wine bowl.

"Judging by your expression, you really don't seem to know what it is."

"That's interesting, I originally thought you were the reincarnation of that person, it seems that there is something else hidden."

"Are you his heir?"

“...”

"Forget it, it's okay for me to talk to you."

The wine-swallowing boy stood up and walked leisurely in the mirage building, admiring the murals on the wall, with a look of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

"Youkai is a kind of ghost god, but it is a little different from ghost god."

"Japanese yokai are basically social animals - they form gangs in groups, gangs, etc., and gather strength to deal with humans, or hostile yokai forces."

"It's easier to survive in troubled times by huddling together for warmth."

"Over time, a roster of youkai appeared among the monsters, which is actually a roster of all the names of all the monsters that surrendered to a certain demon king."

"Gradually, as time goes by, the demon king's ability grows day by day, and the monster's awe of the leader demon king gradually transforms into habitual belief."

"Like a believer and a god."

"At this time, the roster of monsters is contaminated with the power of faith and the breath of the demon king, and it will grow into the [Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll]."

"As long as it is drawn into the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll, it means that this force belonging to a certain big monster will receive the power given by him, but at the same time it must be loyal to him."

When the wine-swallowing boy said this, he shook his hand.

Behind him, except for a somewhat yellowed dilapidated picture scroll.

In the picture scroll, the red-haired wine swallows proudly, the Ibaraki boy and the star bear boy are separated, the bear boy, the stone bear boy, and the golden bear boy each lead countless ghost clans to line up in a formation, and before the ghost soldiers line up, there are red ghosts and green ghosts taking the lead.

"This is my Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll, which records the night walk of the Hundred Ghosts under my command."

"On this wall is a hundred ghost scrolls that belong to you."

"Hmph, leave me a remnant soul, do you want me to surrender to you and become a member of your Hundred Ghosts Night Walk?"

"It's not impossible..."

The wine swallowing boy glanced at the statue of Uesugi Kiyoshi with a complicated expression, turned his head, and spoke solemnly.

"Hey, little ghost, what the hell are you?"

"It's people? Is it a ghost? ”

"Or... God? ”
