Chapter 54: The first experience of the land of ghosts
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!
--------
Satisfied, the day ghost burrowed into the ground and prepared to leave.
Whoosh!
Several dark shadows rushed towards the room, breaking directly through the window.
"Oops! The target has escaped, chase it! ”
Yo~! I've cut off the work of the shadows.,Let's go!
The Hinoki leaves the village and heads towards the land of ghosts.
...
It took more than three nights to finally arrive at the capital of the Oni Country.
The country is quite poor, and when you look at these rows of houses, there will be a string of bells hanging in front of each door.
At night, there is hardly any light except moonlight.
In the castle in front, there is a sparkling fire.
It's the shrine maiden's guard patrolling.
The shrine maiden and the dragon are two sides of the same coin, with powerful sealing power and the ability to predict the death of those around her.
Speaking of which, the Japanese ghost cares more about the ability to predict death later, no matter how limited it is, this is a kind of ability to predict the future.
It's incredible to predict the future, how she sees the slice of the future, which involves time and death.
Although there is no such thing as a rule or a rule in the ninja world, her prediction of death must involve these two aspects.
Shion once said that the sprite is a collection of the dark side of human beings, and as long as there is a dark existence in the heart of human beings, the sprite is immortal.
So what exactly is a sprite?
Otsuki Kaguya is the ancestor of Chakra, at the beginning, the world had Chakra only Kaguya mother and son, and later the Chakra of the ninja world was spread by the 6 Immortals, and the Monster was a collection of Dark Chakra, and his appearance time must have been after the Six Immortals shared the Chakra.
In the eyes of the Hinoki, the dragon is more like a human careerist, an artificial tailed beast modeled after the tailed beast, maybe this is the original shrine maiden made it.
Because the dragon is too similar to the zero-tailed void created by Shennong, the leader of the empty ninja, it relies on the darkness in people's hearts to produce a huge dark chakra.
In my previous life, there was an old saying called raising one's own respect.
Isn't that the situation in the land of ghosts? Every once in a while, the spirits will come back to life, and the only one who can seal them is the shrine maiden, and if the shrine maiden fails to seal them, the spirits will destroy the world.
That witch has been passed down for so many generations, has the dragon destroyed the world?
Not once, it's more like a small fight that only happens in the country of ghosts.
What's more, if the Spirit really had this ability, how could the 6 Dao Immortals allow him to exist so far.
The fear of the demons is the cornerstone of the shrine maiden's rule.
The day ghost feels that he has seen through the truth, but what the day ghost wants to know more is whether his own straight dead man's white eyes have any effect on this monster.
If anything, and so on, it will also have an effect on other tailed beasts, and what the sun ghost wants to know more is that after killing it with the death hole, will he be able to resurrect it?
If it can be resurrected, it means that one's death hole is just an application at the level of rules, so that the target is in a state of death; If he can't be resurrected, then it means that his straight death is a kind of root death, and he disappears directly from this world, without a trace.
The shrine maidens' guards, although there are some chakras, it is clear that they are just a group of samurai with chakras.
The shrine maiden's purple chakra was too conspicuous in front of her, and the non-existent nature of the chakra of the reincarnated eye of the sun ghost made the sun ghost seem to turn into a gust of wind, and even if it floated in front of the eyes of these guards, they didn't notice anything.
This is also a method of use developed by Hinoki based on the memories of the Otsuki Kisha, who was led by his elders to observe Hinata up close at close range when he was a child, but was not discovered.
The sun ghost floated into the shrine maiden's room, and the bell outside the house jingled.
Unable to do anything, the Sun Ghost tried to extract the chakra from her body, and the purple chakra light was directly drawn from her body.
The sun ghost casually planted a soundproof barrier.
The shrine maiden, whose power was taken away, was awakened in her sleep.
She panicked and lit the kerosene lamp and looked around her.
"Guard, guard!"
"Don't bother, you can't get the sound here."
The day ghost changed the tone of his voice and said in a cold, hard, indifferent voice.
"Who are you? Where are you? ”
A ghost warrior wearing a ghost face, with a blood-red glow all over his body, and a long knife appeared in front of her, of course, this is just the effect created by the Japanese ghost with illusion, in fact, he is still the same as before.
"You, you're a ghost?"
There was a panicked look on her face.
In terms of time, this is Ziyuan her mother!
The little girl looks pretty good.
So who am I?
The day ghost thought for a moment.
Let's open a vest!
"I'm Apophis, the patron saint of the Oni Country, but I didn't expect to wake up from my slumber and everything is human, are you a contemporary witch?"
The sun ghost decided to try to fool her, the shrine maiden was a god servant, and she hadn't seen a temple here, so it would be convenient if she could pretend to be her god.
And it seems that the dragon will recover every ten years, and the witch will use her life to seal it, like Shion, she has not been systematically educated by her mother, and there must be many such dynasties.
"Apophis, the patron saint of the land of demons? But I've never heard of you, the guardians of the Oni Country have been our shrine maidens for generations, and you're lying. ”
The shrine maiden shook her head in disbelief.
"I really didn't expect that the witch who served me would betray me, steal my power, and dare to say that she is the guardian of the country of ghosts, don't you feel it? I've reclaimed the power I once gave to the shrine maiden. ”
Reminded by the day ghost, she checked her body, her face full of disbelief.
Presumably this had a big impact on her, the power of the shrine maidens that had been passed down from generation to generation was gone, and a guy appeared who said that he was the god that the shrine maidens served.
After a while, she believed the words of the Japanese ghost a little, and then knelt respectfully in front of the Japanese ghost.
"Lord Apophis, I'm sorry, every ten years the dragon will awaken, and we witches will use their lives to seal it, and our inheritance will be broken from time to time, and the information you revealed is really shocking. Could you please elaborate on that? ”
She pleaded.
"That's it! That's right! Every generation of shrine maidens who serve me is a carefully selected person who is the most loyal and qualified to me, how can they betray me. ”
Then the sun ghost began to make up a story for her, what is he a samurai who traveled the continent to seek the most holy path, and when he passed through here, there was an evil dragon to bring disaster to the world (the chakra of the dragon is in the shape of a dragon's head), and he killed it, bathed in the dragon's blood, and gained great power.
Because of the constant wars in that era, the local people were miserable, so they begged themselves to protect them, and they established the country of ghosts, and they were seriously injured in the battle of the dragon, and they died before they could leave an heir, and the newly established country of ghosts will fall into war again.
With his attachment to the country of ghosts and the thoughts of the people of the country of ghosts, he did not go to the underworld after his death, but stayed in the world as a heroic spirit. The country of ghosts suddenly turned around and had no heirs of his own, so the leader of the country of ghosts was chosen from among the shrine maidens who served him.
After decades, after the evil dragon was killed by himself, the soul did not go to the underworld, but has been absorbing the darkness in the hearts of humans, preparing to take revenge on the country of ghosts.
So he carried the hope of the people and fought the evil dragon again, and was hit hard, and must rely on the power of faith to recover from his sleep; In order not to let the country be bullied while he was sleeping, he gave his power to the shrine maidens who served him.
Originally, it only took a few decades to recover by himself, but he didn't expect it to take so many years before he recovered.
