Chapter 6: First encounter with Onmyoji
Finally...... Still leaving!
Looking at the residents who had been kneeling in front of him and asking for help with pleasure just now, but now looking at him with fear and disgust, Inuyasha couldn't help but sigh at the ugliness of human nature.
However, didn't I already know this ending! In the past, it was the youkai who protected them and killed them, so they regarded him as a hero, but now, it is humans who look exactly like them who are killed. And he is a half-demon!
It's okay to leave by yourself, and there will be no worries and reluctance! And I believe in this matter, no one dares to disturb my mother's cemetery, the life of a half-demon, but it is much longer than that of humans!
"With the destruction of this army, I believe that the daimyo should no longer use force to seize this territory, and if you take the initiative to serve, he will definitely accept you. When the time comes, you can just put all the blame on me! I hope you don't ......, though Also prevent other people from bothering my mother, and every once in a while, I'll come back to check it out, hoping that nothing unpleasant will happen then, okay! ”
In this passage, Inuyasha said it to the whole city, and I believe that with the selfish and fearful character of these guys, they should not disturb their mother's peace.
"Of course! Of course! We're going to seal that palace so that no one can go in and disturb Madame's peace, so you can leave with confidence, Inuyasha-sama! ”
Yoshida, the leader who was pushed out, responded resignedly, but the hint of surprise in the depths of his eyes did not escape Inuyasha's eyes.
"That's good!"
Inuyasha rose into the air again, came to the cemetery of his mother in the backyard, and stroked the tombstone with a strong Chinese ancient charm carved by his own hands for his mother, and his mood was extremely reluctant.
"Mom, I'm leaving! However, I'll be back, and when I find what I'm looking for and settle down, I'll be sure to come back and bring you there, we'll ...... Will stay together after all! ”
Kneeling down on his knees, Inuyasha bowed heavily to his mother for nine heads, then cooled down, forcibly endured the sadness in his heart, and instantly turned on the spiritual power blast, and fled from this place full of his childhood memories at a gallop.
His journey has started again!
This time, the direction of the trip was still to the west, and the destination was the Kyushu region of Japan. Then I turned around and traveled all over Japan. Sharpen himself and expand his knowledge, and the half-demon body gives him plenty of time to spend his time.
"Maybe, I need a weapon!"
After leaving this remote area, I encountered more and more humans and youkai. And Inuyasha also has a clearer understanding of the true status of half-demons in this world. In some towns, there were even soldiers attacking him. The youkai in the wild also covet his body, trying to devour him in a vain attempt to increase his demonic power.
There was also a clear difference between the half-demons before. The average half-demon is very ugly, and the appearance is obviously full of monsters. Only the top youkai can turn into humans, and then combine with humans to give birth to half-demons. Inuyasha's handsome appearance, except for the pair of ears, is almost identical to that of a human. This is enough to prove how noble the bloodline he inherited is, at least it is also a top youkai, or even a big youkai.
Humans don't know these things, but they, who are also monsters, know best! And Inuyasha's age makes him a lamb to the slaughter in the eyes of the monsters.
However, Inuyasha's combat power far exceeded their expectations, and all the youkai driven by greed were all eliminated by Inuyasha without any difficulty. This not only allowed Inuyasha to gain a lot of combat experience, but also turned the pure spiritual power he had worked so hard to maintain into demonic power full of evil and evil spirits. In addition, those spiritual powers have been refined to the extreme by Inuyasha, so the power of those demonic powers is even stronger than the original spiritual power. Inuyasha once met a few nosy mages and monks, and as soon as they saw Inuyasha, they rushed up and attacked Inuyasha with their own magic weapons, but their magic weapons used to eliminate demons and demons not only did not hurt Inuyasha, but were polluted by Inuyasha's demonic energy and turned into something full of evil energy.
Slowly, the annoyed Inuyasha grew tired of the seemingly never-ending killing. Since the half-demon is not pleasing on both sides, let him become a real monster. Long life, endless power, this is what Inuyasha really craves, and the death experience of falling off the cliff twice has already left an indelible mark on his psyche.
"I'm definitely not going to die, never!"
This is Inuyasha's promise to himself!
To do this, he needs to increase his strength, and a good weapon is his best choice at the moment. His own strength has reached the limit, and he only needs to slowly cultivate as his body grows, and his strength will naturally increase steadily.
It's a pity that Inuyasha's appearance makes it impossible for him to enter the human town at all, and even if he can, people are afraid of him like a tiger, and they don't dare to approach him at all, and if Inuyasha makes a slight move, he will be even more frightened, and some people will take the initiative to take up weapons to drive him away, how can he get the information he needs!
Although Inuyasha knew that there were many famous swords in ancient Japan, there was no source, so he had to go to the various daimyo or castle lords to find them. Anyway, with his skills, those humans can't detect him at all. However, Inuyasha's luck is not always so good, and when you walk through the night road, you will always encounter ghosts.
Like today, when Inuyasha had just infiltrated the palace of the most powerful daimyo in Kyushu, he was immediately discovered by an onmyoji stationed in the daimyo's mansion. That's right, it's not a mage, it's not a shrine maiden, but an onmyoji who serves the country and has a high status.
"Dingding......
The quiet of the night was broken by the sound of bells, and all the soldiers in charge of the guard immediately surrounded the entire palace. Then, under the heavy protection of the soldiers, the daimyo and his family who had heard the warning were accompanied by a forty or fifty-year-old onmyoji, and came to the entrance of the treasure room at the back of the palace.
"My lord, the thief is inside, judging from the aura left on the enchantment, the other party should be a monster!"
Different from the pure and peaceful spiritual power used by mages and shrine maidens, Onmyoji uses natural spiritual power similar to the kind that Inuyasha originally absorbed directly from heaven and earth, although the quality is not as good as Inuyasha due to the exercises, but the power is far beyond that of mages and shrine maidens of the same level. After all, the Onmyoji was originally evolved from the Taoist priests who came from the Celestial Empire, and he also manipulated the power of the five elements of heaven and earth.
"It's an onmyoji, no wonder! It's a bit of a hassle now! ”
The pair of cute white ears on Inuyasha's head twitched slightly, clearly listening to the words of the onmyoji outside. He had fought with local mages and shrine maidens in Japan, and he had also visited them in order to learn some spells, but it was the first time he had dealt with the legendary Onmyoji.
However, Inuyasha didn't regret messing with Onmyoji at all! The current Onmyoji is no longer the Onmyoji of the past. Since the death of the strongest onmyoji in history more than 400 years ago, Anpei Harumi, the onmyoji has gradually declined, although the onmyoji is still an official family, and it is also the strongest force in Japan, but the people with the talent of the onmyoji can not be compared with the past at all, just look at the original onmyoji who only served the emperor is sitting in a daimyo's mansion, you can guess the decline of the current onmyoji.
But if you think that Onmyoji is not powerful, then you are very wrong! Although the number of onmyoji is small, once the person who can really become an onmyoji, it is definitely enough to compare to the existence of top youkai. If you want to become a mage or a witch, you just need to practice step by step. But he has no talent, and his achievements are limited, so he can only deal with ordinary low-level youkai.
And the onmyoji does rely purely on the profession of talent, the affinity for the five elements, the induction of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the soul also needs to fit the poles of yin and yang at the same time, and the body must also be extremely high.
Speaking of which, most of the spells of mages and shrine maidens have also evolved from the onmyoji! Therefore, although the number of onmyoji is less than one percent of that of mages and shrine maidens, it has steadily suppressed mages and shrine maidens for a full four hundred years, but with the depletion of spiritual power, onmyoji will eventually withdraw from the Japanese stage and be completely replaced by mages and shrine maidens.
Onmyoji is the equivalent of a nobleman among the demon slayers who fight against youkai, while mages and shrine maidens are commoners!
But Inuyasha isn't an ordinary youkai either! If it was before, at least two hundred years ago, the orthodox onmyoji he still had some estimates, but a mere Kyushu daimyo onmyoji, even if it was strong, it would not be much stronger. This harvest is enough to go against an onmyoji.
Looking at the boy in his hand, Che Angang, Inuyasha's face showed a satisfied smile. I didn't expect that in such a place, this legendary famous knife could be used. In order to collect materials to make their own weapons, Inuyasha has learned about the weapons that have appeared in Japanese history, and under the three Japanese artifacts, after all, the famous ones are the weapons used by some strong people who have won the title of Sword Master.
Sensing the huge spiritual and demonic power contained in it, Inuyasha recalled the information of this knife.
Tongzi Che Angang: Tai knife, the length of the knife is 80 cm, the shape is like an ancient knife, the straight blade, the blade, the blade is 2.9 cm, and the tip of the knife is 1.9 cm. It was built by the swordsmith An Tsunade of the Boqi Kingdom. After Yuan Laiguang used this knife to kill the ghost god named Liquor Swallowing Boy in the Great River and Mountain, he got this name.
It seems that I will be going to visit more of the daimyo and old shrines in the future, especially the emperor's palace. There, I don't think there are three artifacts in Japanese legends! That's the magic weapon that the real gods once used.
Inuyasha's expression at this time was full of greed and desire.
"Come out! Youkai, you can't run away! ”
Just when Inuyasha was fantasizing, the onmyoji who had already set up the enchantment outside the treasure room, Gomaegawa, was also ready to act. And the hundreds of archers next to him also aimed the arrows contaminated with the clear salt of the evil spirit at the exit of the treasure room, and as soon as the monster appeared, they fired ten thousand arrows in unison to kill this monster who dared to invade.
