Chapter 73: Fuso Hundred Ghosts Night Walk
Hearing that someone dared to disrespect the god of the sea, someone in the crowd immediately accused: "Where are you an outsider, even if you dress strangely, why do you have such disrespect for the gods? If you annoy the gods, won't all of us who live by the sea suffer?"
"Don't be stupid. ”
Lin Zixi also jumped out and explained: "A true god would not ask for so many cumbersome sacrifices, let alone using the dead as a sacrifice, how can you be worthy of the spirits of the dead in the sky?
Listening to Lin Zixi's words, everyone couldn't help but fall silent.
At this time, the people of Fusang did not agree, and only listened to their accusations in half-baked Chinese, saying why two outsiders wanted to interfere in the affairs of other people's clans.
"Where did you come from? What is the matter with you here? What are you talking about?"
Zhao Hangyu responded unceremoniously, not taking these foreign people in his eyes at all.
The Fusang people were furious, and they took out conch shells to play, and after a few high and low sounds, the sea suddenly shook violently.
A deep-sea giant turtle with a volume of three or four hundred meters wide suddenly swooped out of the sea with a stormy wave. The sea splattered and prickled down from the sky, and some people who were closer to the sea were not spared, and they were all swept into the sea by the waves.
At the moment, the crowd is like a fryer, and the scene is chaotic and uncontrollable.
"Emperor Ao is out, the sea god is angry!", "Everyone run!", "It's all to blame these two outsiders for speaking disrespectfully and annoying the gods!"
Zhao Hangyu said coldly: "Stupid guy, I can't see such an obvious thing, it's obvious that the slaves are making trouble!"
Lin Zixi nodded, and then opened the crystal barrier, no matter how the waves impacted, the barrier was immovable. The crowd couldn't help but be stunned, obviously they didn't expect the two of them to have such a method.
Zhao Hangyu launched an offensive against the Ao Emperor several times, but because the Ao Huang was very large, the attack was as if he was tickling the other party.
Immediately stood up and shouted: "Long!"
Suddenly, he was tall and tall, his head was like Mount Tai, his waist was like a mountain, his eyes were like lightning, his mouth was like a blood basin, and his teeth were like swords. The crowd of onlookers knelt on the ground and shouted the manifestation of the true god.
After Zhao Hangyu used the magic power of the law to make his body huge, he easily grabbed the Ao Huang in his hand and tore it in half.
Lin Zixi made a triumphant gesture to him, and then said, "You all see it, right? All of this is Fusang people playing ghosts, these Japanese slaves have always been uneasy and kind, don't believe them in the future!"
The ancient Yue people watched the scenes happen, and combined with all kinds of memories in the past, they all felt ashamed. Promise that from now on, you will never be fooled again.
Seeing them wake up, Zhao Hangyu and Lin Zixi were also relieved, but at this moment, the people of Fusang had already taken a giant ship and fled as if they were flying.
"Did you run?"
Zhao Hangyu snorted coldly, his body jumped up, and the star pill flew into the air like a catapult, following closely.
Lin Zixi also drove the colorful clouds and kept up unhurriedly.
When the Fusang people on the ship saw that the two of them were actually flying into the air to chase after them, they were so frightened that they screamed and hurriedly summoned the fire guns and the archers to launch an attack in the air. All of a sudden, the bullets were like meteors, the arrows were like locusts, and they were densely packed with a large area.
Lin Zixi blocked it with both hands, erected a crystal barrier, and blocked all the iron pills and arrows.
But there was a thick cloud of smoke in front of him, which was easily dissipated, and the ships of the Fuso people were long gone.
"I really don't want to let them run away like this!"
Zhao Hangyu glanced around with the Yin and Yang Eyes, and sneered: "It seems that I have to go to Fusang Country." ”
Fusang is located in the east of Huaxia Kingdom, is an island country surrounded by the sea, named after Sunrise Fusang, also called Dongying.
Stepping into a foreign realm for the first time, both of them couldn't help but be a little more cautious, Zhao Hangyu used the Dao pattern to make a tracking talisman, and followed the guidance of the spirit rune to find the traces of that group of people.
Lin Zixi couldn't help complaining, saying that there was a vast sea of people, and when would this have to be found.
Zhao Hangyu didn't think so in his heart, but there was no better way at present, he could only take one step at a time. Before he could open his mouth to comfort Lin Zixi, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of shadows flashing around him, and they were floating forward quickly.
Immediately rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong, a few of these people actually passed by the body, but they were unscathed, and the car was not affected by any shock.
This is not right, and then take a closer look with Tai Chi Yin and Yang Eyes, it turns out to be a group of ghosts. One by one in the night, their faces were as white as white ash, and they walked lightly.
Zhao Hangyu felt very strange, there were quite a few ghosts in this group, almost dozens or even hundreds and ten, whether male or female, they were all wearing kimonos. Where are these hordes going?
Suddenly, my heart moved, and I thought to myself, could this be the legendary night walk of a hundred ghosts?
Legend has it that during the time of Emperor Heian Kanmu, it was a dark and unclear era when humans and monsters coexisted. The place where the yokai live and the place where humans live actually overlap spatially, except that humans are active during the day, and yokai appear at night.
During the day, there are no traces of the ruins, but at night, the lights are on, and the monsters appear one after another, the food street, and the hot spring town. At night when the monsters are haunted, they live a nightlife like a human being, and it is not lively.
At that time, when night came in Kyoto, the entire road was deserted. At this time, there will be many strange-shaped monsters, like the ranks of the temple fair, with hideous faces, walking on the main road, known as "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking".
Some of them are like broken teapots, pots and pans parade through the streets at night, and it is said that those who witness them will be cursed and die for no reason.
There is also a legend that on the night of Obon, a hundred candles are lit, and several people sit around and take turns telling ghost stories, and when they blow out one candle after telling the story, when the hundredth candle is blown, they will see a hundred ghosts walking at night.
So Zhao Hangyu pointed to the group of ghosts that were about to disappear in front of him, and said to Lin Zixi: "Follow them." ”
Lin Zixi asked in surprise: "Follow them?" I said your brain didn't burn out, did you? There is not even a figure around here, are you with a person or a ghost?"
"Yes, it's with ghosts. But keep your voice down and don't let them hear you. ”
Zhao Hangyu put his index finger in front of his lips and signaled not to be alarmed.
Lin Zixi knew that Zhao Hangyu's yin and yang eyes would never be wrong, so he quickly followed him. The speed of these dead ghosts was so fast that the two chased them for half a street before they saw them.
Fortunately, it was not too late, and there were still many pedestrians and vehicles on the street, and the two followed unhurriedly, which did not arouse their suspicions.
And these ghosts did not cause trouble in the streets, and when they encountered pedestrians and cars, they all dodged away, but seemed to be in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry.
After chasing several streets in a row, I didn't realize that I reached the outskirts of the city, where vehicles became scarcer and scarcer, and gradually entered the wilderness.
Zhao Hangyu and Lin Zixi hurriedly performed stealth techniques, but they still didn't arouse the detection of the ghosts. After following the road for a while, a magnificent and unusually tall building appeared in front of him, and the guidance of the spirit rune ended at this point.
With the faint moonlight, Zhao Hangyu saw clearly that the building in front of him was the castle tower unique to Fusang and a symbol of power and status.
The castle tower is a large castle built during the Fuso Sengoku period, and it serves as a tower and watchtower in military affairs. At the same time, it was also the residence of the lord of the castle and the central building of the castle. It was not only a strong military defense, but also a symbol of the political power and status of the local daimyo or castle lord.
Castle architecture is a prominent new creative field, which breaks through the thousand-year-old tradition of architecture and conceives the world, resulting in a new high-rise building that has never been seen before: the castle tower.
Back in the days of the Feudal Civil War, the lords built a small watchtower on the roof of their mansion in the Acropolis. Later, various feudal lords relied on the small high hills in the city to build acropolis.
There is a high castle in the center of the Acropolis, which was originally a mansion called the castle tower. Not only a military fortress, but also the political center of the domain, a symbol of the power of the feudal lords.
However, in fact, there are many theories about the origin of the castle tower. Some people believe that the castle tower is a symbol of "God" in Christianity, Buddhism, and "Brahma", which means that the lord of the castle or daimyo rules on behalf of the heavens.
However, the more common view is that the origin of the castle tower was a process of development, serving as an observation tower, a storeroom, and a military defense.
Of course, the castle tower in the late Warring States period became more and more politicized, and it was used to show the strength of the castle lord and the daimyo.
Zhao Hangyu looked carefully and saw that the city tower was two-storey, with a three-story observatory on it, with a total of five floors.
The watchtower is partly large, and the mountain-style cornice board is intertwined with the eaves above, and the edge of the uppermost floor of the castle tower is received into the outer wall. The exterior walls are painted with white stucco, the gables are varied, and the windows are sliding doors. This makes the overall look even more luxurious and spectacular.
In addition, a strange chrysanthemum totem was also found on the city wall, which made Zhao Hangyu even more sure that he was not looking for the wrong place. But when he was about to enter the city tower, he heard bursts of terrifying laughter, and when he looked closely, he saw a group of ghosts appearing at some point.
