"Ahh

The pedestrian screamed and fell to the ground.

Because something was delayed on the road, I just entered the city, and I was going to take refuge in the nearest shrine, but I didn't expect to suddenly encounter this terrifying scene.

"Snorr—"

The lanterns spat out tongues of fire and licked at him.

Lantern ghosts?

Shen Luo quickly recognized it.

This is a relatively common and relatively weak ghost, a symbiote formed by the souls of dead animals or humans attached to lanterns.

He turned his head to look at the hundred-eyed ghost: "Didn't you mean...... Are you low-key? ”

The millions of soldiers and horses in Izumo also have their daily lives, and in life, lantern ghosts are the most commonly used lighting tools.

The hundred-eyed ghost hurriedly waved his hand:

"Yagi-sama, I didn't bring these lantern ghosts.

"Our people live in seclusion except for business, and it is the Heiankyo itself that has recently had some abnormal conditions, so the ghosts are rampant in the middle of the night, and it is difficult to stop."

Something out of the ordinary?

Shen Luo asked, "What is it?" ”

The hundred-eyed ghost narrowed his eyes, and his expression became solemn:

"This happened two months ago, and we thought it was strange at first.

"Later, Demon Sword, Shiranui, and Kujira came out and accidentally found that the gate of the netherworld in Kyoto had been artificially broken, and the barrier separating the two worlds of yin and yang had disappeared."

Shen Luo nodded: "No wonder ......"

The Netherworld is the opposite of the Yang Realm, and it is said that it is currently under the jurisdiction of the Enma, where all kinds of ghost spirits gather, which is equivalent to the underworld in the mythological system.

Once the door of the netherworld is opened, of course, the ghosts and spirits inside can run freely to the yang world.

"Go on."

"We originally planned to track it down, but the person who has the power to break the gate of the netherworld is probably already more than the ordinary big demon, so we didn't act rashly."

As soon as the hundred-eyed ghost was introduced, a pop-up window floated in front of Shen Luo's eyes:

[Dear God, you have successfully discovered the main quest: The Bell of the Yin and Yang Rebellion in the independent exploration stage]

(1) The bell of the Yin and Yang Rebellion

Task Difficulty☆ ★★★

The gate of the netherworld has been broken, and the prosperous ancient capital of Heiankyo has fallen into an unprecedented crisis.

You'll need to take this opportunity to spread the word and collect 500,000 faith points while finding the culprit who rings the bell of the Yin and Yang Rebellion to help Kyoto survive this crisis.

The Faith Value collected during the Completion Reward task is calculated by 3 times, and the overflow part is calculated by 5 times

"Is it worth so much faith?"

Shen rubbed his hands a little excitedly.

If you successfully complete the task, you will have at least 150,000 faith points, which can be used to upgrade or directly fill up many skill points.

Click Pickup.

"Whew-"

After returning to the plot interface, a deafening howl reached the ears.

I saw the pedestrian who was entangled by the lantern ghost rolling all over the ground, and the lantern ghost's curly tongue wrapped around his body, constantly tearing at his mixed batch.

"Uh......

"Lord, he's been howling here for a long time, do we need to take care of it?" Hyakmu scratched his head.

"Don't panic!"

Just as Shen Luo was about to let her clean up the lantern ghost, a young man in a white blue patterned hunting suit and an aqua blue coarse hakama leaped down from the roof.

Priest?

Shen Luo quickly recognized through his onmyoji-like, but not identical, costume that this was a priest dedicated to the gods at a certain shrine.

Judging from the color of his pants, he should be a right-ranking priest, that is, the penultimate level, the most common rank of a priest.

The man fell to the ground and staggered under his feet before he could stand still.

Syllable!

He pulled out a fan from his waist and pointed at the pedestrians rolling on the ground, in a seemingly chic appearance:

"Yasaka Shrine Quan Zhengjie priest Nagasawa Jun, the chief priest of the male life god of Kensu Susa, came to pull out the impurity and wash the filth!"

The pedestrian who fell to the ground shouted as he tried to break free:

"You ......

"Guy from the shrine, what's ...... There was more and more nonsense before the removal of the spirit, ah-"

Hey?

Nagasawa Jun pursed his lips and explained seriously: "It's not that I talk a lot of nonsense, I'm afraid you won't remember it."

"In case you're mistaken, my business isn't for nothing."

The hundred-eyed ghost a hundred meters away withdrew the evil light that was about to be launched: "Yagi-sama, what about us?" ”

Shen Luo raised his hand: "Let's take a look first." ”

Listening to this Nagasawa Jun's words, the priests of Heiankyo Shrine seem to be paid to serve the people to remove the spirits.

And these businesses are still important to them?

If I want to collect faith, I'm afraid I have to develop believers by helping the people.

But it can't always be me myself.

Therefore, I would like to take the opportunity to learn how the clergy of the regular shrines worked, so that I could develop my business in Yagi in Heiankyo in the future.

Sou!

At that moment, an arrow dragging a golden tail flame was shot at one of the lantern ghosts.

The arrow emitted a pale golden glow, scorching it with a trace of black gas, and soon the lantern ghost became charred and fell to the ground to turn back into a normal red lantern.

And the golden feather arrow also broke down into a grain of grain.

Shen slightly turned his head to look.

The arrow was shot by a young girl, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a typical shrine maiden dress in white and red hakama.

Her thick black hair was scattered, and she carried a quiver with ears of wheat behind her.

Kikyo?

He quickly remembers the characters in Inuyasha.

But apparently it's just that the shape is somewhat similar, because the times are a little bit wrong.

The shrine maiden put down the bow and arrow in her hand, smiled and raised her chin:

"Priest Nagasawa, you people from Yasaka Shrine......

"Are you all so mother-in-law?"

Chang Zerun had just taken out a talisman from his arms, but he didn't expect that the business that was about to arrive was suddenly cut off, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Huh?

"Mizuno shrine maiden, you are openly under the sun......

"No, it's a blatant robbery under the moon!"

Misano put away her bow and arrows: "Hmph~."

"Whoever is like you people at Yasaka Shrine, you have to introduce yourself for a long time before removing the spirit, which is like us, you don't need to be introduced wherever you go, and everyone knows you.

"I never report myself."

At this time, the remaining lantern ghosts were temporarily frightened to the side, and the pedestrians briefly regained their freedom, and he stood up and saluted Mizuno miserably:

"Thank you, shrine maiden.

"You should be the god of food, Otsubi Shrine, I'll be on time tomorrow ......"

"Hey!"

Mizuno Mizuno's eyes widened, her face instantly turned red, and she quickly interrupted him:

"I'm a shrine maiden of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, and I'm the presiding priest of Ojizu, the god of Inari!"

"Huh?"

This group of people is a little confused, there are a lot of ghosts and ghosts active in Heiankyo recently, and there are also many active clergy, and I can't remember which one is which one.

Jun Nagasawa immediately covered his stomach and began to laugh.

At this time, the remaining dozens of lantern ghosts gathered together and fused into a giant lantern ghost while Jun Nagasawa and Mizuno were not paying attention.

"Roar—"

The two hurriedly turned around.

"I'll ......," Nagasawa swallowed.

The Lantern Ghost King's body had swelled to more than five meters, and it was spitting out exaggerated tongues of fire towards them.
