Chapter 314: Shinto (3)

"Ahh

"Whew-whew-whew-"

"Ahh

All of a sudden, terrible screams, sharp wails, heart-rending cries, violent roars, and hysterical laughter suddenly filled the entire space, and countless dark figures appeared from the surging tide of black qi, some with green faces and fangs, bloody mouths, and a fierce atmosphere; Some of the bodies were rotten and unrecognizable, with severed limbs and bones, and long internal organs dragged on the ground, and the stench was overwhelming; Some of them wore incomplete ancient warrior armor, and the rich resentment and death qi turned into black qi and continued to pour out from the cracks in the armor; Some of them have dog mouths, hair all over their bodies, and they are on all fours, crawling forward, and their long blood-red tongues are almost hanging to the ground; Some of them are completely invisible, and seem to be a temporary patchwork of many stump limbs, and the dirty mucus is constantly dripping; Although some barely maintained their human form, they were densely wriggled with unknown insects up and down, crawling inside and outside, and the sound of crackling and peeling gnawing was endless。。。。。。 These are not too exaggerated, and what is even more outrageous is that there are many strange objects, such as worn umbrellas, notched teapots, half-burned coffins, rusted broken knives, etc.

Wang Yang was slightly surprised: "A hundred ghosts walk at night? ”

Hundred ghosts night walking, first originated in China, Eastern Han Dynasty? There is a clear record in Zhang Heng's Tokyo Fu: "There are peach trees on Dushuo Mountain, and the lower ones often read a hundred ghosts, ghosts and unreasonable people, gods and Yu Lei, holding reed ropes, and persisting in feeding tigers." "The Eastern Jin Dynasty's "Sou Shen Ji"? In the second volume, there is "Shouguang Marquis, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty." It can impeach hundreds of ghosts and ghosts, and make self-restraint visible. The text of "; "Hug Puzi"? The inner part "If you forget to keep one, you will be harmed by a hundred ghosts." Or those who lie down and have nightmares, that is, go out of the atrium to see the auxiliary star, hold on to one, and the ghost will go. Legend has it that on the night of Obon, a hundred candles are lit, and several people sit around and take turns telling ghost stories, and when one candle is blown out, and when the hundredth candle is blown, one will see a hundred ghosts walking at night.

These legends of gods and ghosts were later introduced to the surrounding countries around the 10th century AD, among which Japan absorbed and digested the most thoroughly, especially after entering the modern era, due to the popularity of anime and light novels, Japan's Heian period has become a cultural symbol of the night of the hundred ghosts.

In Japan, ghosts not only refer to ghosts and ghosts, but also mountain spirits, water monsters, monsters, and some lower gods, not just ghosts in the sense that Chinese usually say.

The Heian period in Japan was a dark and unclear era when humans and yokai coexisted, and the places where the yokai lived and the places where humans lived actually overlapped spatially, except that humans were active during the day, and yokai appeared at night. Such a feeling can be seen in Hayao Miyazaki's movie "Spirited Away", although the theme park that is uninhabited during the day has become a ruin, but at night, the lights are on, and the monsters appear one after another. At that time, in Kyoto, when night came, the whole road was empty, and many strange-shaped yokai appeared at this time, like the procession of a temple fair, with hideous faces, walking on the main road, known as the "Hyakki Night Walk", and some of them were like broken teapots, pots and pans paraded through the streets at night, and it was said that those who witnessed it were cursed and died for no reason.

This era of human beings and ghosts finally came to an end with the return of a group of Tang envoys and the flowering of Zen Buddhism in the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, during the same period, Japanese Shinto began to dominate; This must be said to be inextricably linked.

For thousands of years, Japan has been secretive about the whereabouts of the nocturnal ghosts who once roamed the world, until the moment when the Eight Mirrors Barrier was fully opened.

"Cheap slave daring?!" A hoarse burst of shouts brought Wang Yang back to his senses, and when he looked around, he saw that the body of the Dragon Emperor clay figurines was dazzling red, almost transparent, and wave after wave of blazing heat that was enough to burn the sky and boil the sea was spreading outward through his body, and the extreme anger made the clay on his face peel off one after another, but it was quickly restored by the surging heat.

Wang Yang was really surprised this time. You must know that the Dragon Emperor, as the Ninety-Five Emperor, pursues the strict and strict laws of the Legalists, and at the same time cultivates the Tao of the Five Elements and the Law of Immortality, it is the emperor's heart that is ruthless and the Dao heart is unhindered, and there should be no one or anything in the world that can make him angry to this point. Even if Wang Yang scolded him for being "unworthy" in front of him before, he didn't kill him, but now he suddenly saw the eight-foot mirror urging the hundred ghosts to walk at night, but the reaction was so strong, is there any unknown mystery in this?

"Roarβ€”β€”β€”β€”

An earth-shattering roar suddenly exploded, and the sound waves that exploded turned into surging waves of air, rolling in, and even many ghosts were swept up and thrown away. An incomparably large black shadow rushed out of the black air and swooped towards Wang Yang and the Dragon Emperor. Before the black shadow approached, a fishy wind filled with recklessness, tyranny, ferocity, and filth came to the face, making it difficult for people to breathe.

At this moment, Wang Yang and the Dragon Emperor had a dangerous intuition at the same time.

But how can a demon attack two targets on the earth and the sky at the same time?

The black giant shadow shook its body, one turned into two, two turned into four, four turned into eight, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into eight giant shadows, as the black gas as black as ink peeled off layer by layer, eight huge and deformed triangular snake heads stood out from the black gas, and the red snake pupils of the lantern-size shrunk into two thin lines, exuding a flame-like killing intent and monstrous ferocity, starting from between the two snake pupils to the snake body, densely covered with hideous sharp bone blades up to several meters long, and the huge snake scales the size of the basin flowed with jet black colors, like living creatures, with every twist of the snake body, Thick black gas continued to erupt from between the snake scales, and the evil, filthy, ferocious, and brutal aura quickly diffused, covering the sky and the sun, like a black mist.

A familiar name suddenly flashed through Wang Yang's mind: "Baqi Snake!" ”

At the same time, the Dragon Emperor on the other side also blurted out: "Nine-headed worm!" ”

The two of them only had time to glance at each other very quickly, and the eight snake heads of the Yaqi Great Snake had already divided into two groups, and they swooped towards the two of them.

A snake-headed giant mouth pounced on Wang Yang, and an incomparably thick dark red plasma gushed out, turning into a handful of blood rain sprinkled on his head, with Wang Yang's super physique, at first contact with the fishy and pungent breath, he was also suddenly dizzy and tight, and wanted to vomit, obviously containing poison.

Wang Yang frowned slightly, jumped forward, and retreated a hundred meters away, avoiding the attack of the blood rain, such a filthy and vicious thing, even if he was not afraid, he was instinctively disgusted.

But just between this retreat, the black qi rolled over, blocking his gaze, and the four menacing snake heads actually disappeared strangely, and they abandoned him, and disappeared without a trace, only the direction where the Dragon Emperor was located, and suddenly there was a roar of anger like thunder.

"Not good! It's a plan to break through. The enemy's target from the beginning is the Dragon Emperor. Wang Yang's face changed, and he hurriedly dodged and flew in the direction where the voice came from, but the black air was diffuse, and the forest was cold to the bone, in this directionless enchantment, no matter how far Wang Yang flew out and how fast he flew, he could only hear the roar of the Dragon Emperor and the sound of fierce fighting, but he could not reach it.

Having seen the Xuanyuan Lost Trace Formation under Zhu Wen and Ming Yanwei, Wang Yang naturally knew the power of the formation, even if he was a super strong person with fourth-order strength, there was no way to break the formation, and he would only end up in vain. In the last team battle, if it weren't for the Zhongzhou team choosing to fight to the death, and their lethality was not enough, the demon team would have gone down to receive a boxed lunch. The primary formations like Zhu Wen and Ming Yanwei are already like this, how powerful should the enchantment of the Shinto Sect Master with the Eight Mirrors as the Array Eyes and the Eight Qi Giant Snake as the Array Spirits be?

Casually defeating a group of ghosts rushing out of the black qi, Wang Yang gathered his mind and began to perceive with all his might.

========================================================

The battle on the other side has also reached the most critical juncture.

The Dragon Emperor tried his best to trap a snake head with a heavy and condensed mountain-moving technique, cut off a snake head with an incomparable Gengjin sword qi, cleared the filthy blood rain of a snake head with the technique of Aoi Water Purification and Sweeping, and forced back three snake heads with the supreme true dragon qi, but a snake head came looking for a gap, opening his mouth and spitting out a chilling black air current.

The dark air flow rolled in, and everywhere it passed, the earth was frozen and everything froze just by virtue of the breath that escaped, and even the ghosts that were the souls could not escape, how terrifying should the extreme cold contained in the air flow itself be?

The Dragon Emperor, who was already unable to spare his hands, was not afraid of danger, and as soon as he opened his mouth and spit out, a flame dragon greeted him.

"Sneer-sss

As soon as the flame dragon encountered this cold current, it suddenly encountered a natural enemy, the fire light was extinguished, the flames dissipated, and it disappeared after a few struggles in the wailing, and the cold current that devoured the fire dragon continued to advance rapidly, and the dragon emperor who couldn't dodge only had time to turn on one side, and was invaded by the cold current on his left arm.

A stream of hoarfrost visible to the naked eye immediately spread upwards along the Dragon Emperor's left arm extremely quickly, and the body of the clay figurine, which was originally a clay sculpture, could not withstand such a terrible cold, and cracked and peeled off one after another, and it was about to spread to the Dragon Emperor's torso.

The Dragon Emperor has fought all his life, and he is naturally a decisive character, and with a flash of sword light in his right hand, he cut off the entire left arm, and the broken arm has not yet landed, and has turned into a handful of frost-covered crumbs, dissipating in the black gas.

The cursed Dragon Emperor is no longer a flesh and blood body, but a five-element Dharma body based on loess, guided by true fire, connected by the five elements of mana, and cultivated with the core of the true dragon's qi, as long as the true dragon's qi does not disperse and the five elements of mana are inexhaustible, he can be immortal and indestructible, and a broken limb is not a matter for him at all, just like in the plot, as in the plot, the real fire is urged, and he can recover in one breath; This battle damage is naturally incomprehensible to a mortal like O'Connor, but it is fatal to an enemy who covets the power of the Dragon Emperor for thousands of years and gathers the great achievements of a country's divine path.

The reason is very simple, the Dragon Emperor at this time is at his weakest moment, and because of the battle with Wang Yang, he carelessly fell into the enchantment of the Eight Mirrors, which can be said to be the right time and place and no one is around.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Dragon Emperor returned to the sword to save himself, a snake head suddenly rushed out, opened its huge mouth and devoured it violently.

"Evil Barrier!" The Dragon Emperor snorted, and the long sword stabbed out with his backhand, which sank into the snake's head and jaw like lightning, and the tip of the sword leaked through the top door.

The huge snake's head trembled and wailed, and its huge red vertical pupils suddenly dimmed.

But at this time, the mouth of the snake suddenly closed tightly, and the long sword and half of the Dragon Emperor's body were bitten tightly.

The Dragon Emperor was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "It's not good! ”
