Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Ghost Gate
It's not complicated.
It turned out that Kiyohime had met this Ashiya Michiman on the way to Kyoto, and as soon as he saw Kiyohime, he discovered her true identity, and this old guy actually had a crooked mind and wanted to recover Kiyohime as his Shikigami.
Shikigami is also called a servant.
Generally, ordinary onmyoji are invisible-to-the-naked spirits as Shikigami, and the ghosts who have a body in this world are not weak, and unless a monster like Kiyohime is a particularly powerful Onmyoji, it is impossible to be a Shikigami at all. This method of manipulating ghosts is a bit like the druid's animal spirit companions, but the methods of the onmyoji are a little more extreme, and some evil onmyoji will also refine the god himself, which is the evolution of witchcraft.
Collecting monsters as a god requires a secret contract, and it's definitely not as simple as subduing ordinary ghosts.
Ashiya Michiman wanted to take Kiyohime as a god, but he suffered a lot in her hands, if this old guy hadn't run fast enough, I'm afraid he would have been burned to ashes by Kiyohime. The strength of many big monsters is stronger than that of the Onmyoji, and most of the Shikijin in the hands of Ampei Qingming are some ghosts, and this Ashiya Michiman actually whimsically wants to subdue Kiyohime, and he is simply looking for his own death.
Although he was a little scared of Qing Ji, after listening to what happened, Su Ziyu's face suddenly turned cold.
I'm afraid of Kiyohime, but it doesn't mean that he allows this old guy to hit her attention!
- "Vision! β
A glimmer of aura appeared in Su Ziyu's pupils, and in his line of sight, a white Jiao hovered behind Ampei Qingming, and behind Ashiya Michiman was a giant vicious dog with a hideous face.
In Fuso, there is a saying that the dog god and the dog ghost, the dog god is a guardian spirit, usually used to protect the safety of the owner, and the dog ghost is a more ferocious monster, the appearance is quite similar to the dog god, but it looks much more hideous, and the biggest feature is that it will eat the owner. Behind Ashiya Michiman is a dog ghost.,In the Onmyoji, the dog god and the dog ghost belong to the high-level gods.,Some Onmyoji will be controlled by them in turn.,In terms of strength, this dog ghost won't be much weaker than Ampere Qingming's Bai Jiao.γ
The change in the expression of the Suziyu is quite obvious.
Ampei Qingming is a smart person, just by looking at it, he knows that Ashiya Michiman is estimated to be married to the two in front of him, but he is happy to see it, because Ashiya Michiman used to be his rival, if it weren't for the big crisis in Kyoto this time, the Fuso royal family ordered to summon onmyoji from all over the country to come, he probably wouldn't cooperate with his old rival.
Qing Ji smiled gently, but a white palm was held on her white paper umbrella, and she tilted her head slightly to look at Su Ziyu, as if as long as his voice fell, she would give the Ashiya Michiman in front of her a good look.
"Ampere Qingming!" Ashiya Michiman suddenly stood up and said to Ampei Harumi, "The Imperial Family is asking us to cooperate to solve the Kyoto problem as soon as possible." β
Hearing his words, An Pei Qingming hesitated for a moment, and then said to Su Ziyu: "Your Excellency, can you give me a face, what do you have to do with him later?" β
"A lot of onmyoji from all over the world have already arrived."
"I'm going to attack Oni Kyoto by tomorrow night at the latest, and put an end to this trouble."
Su Ziyu thought for a moment when he heard this, nodded and said, "Okay." β
He reached out and pressed the back of Kiyohime's hand, signaling her not to do it for the time being, this account must be settled with Ashiya Michiman, but now it is really not suitable to fight him. There are two factions of the Onmyoji in Fuso, one is the royal Onmyoji camp headed by Ampei Harumi, and the other is the folk Onmyoji camp headed by Ashiya Michimitsu.
If you really do it, I'm afraid this operation will lose a lot of cannon fodder.
"Your Excellency, rest assured. I'll let the royal family take the lead. Ampei Qingming smiled lightly and said secretly.
OK.
This Ampere Qingming is still very means.
Qing Ji looked at the back of her hand a little shyly, just now her husband actually took the initiative to shake her hand, she was not even so eager to find Ashiya Michiman to settle accounts, only when she was in a bad mood would she want to find someone to beat her up and vent her anger.
Ashiya Michiman glanced at Su Ziyu, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he said goodbye directly to Ampei Qingming.
Today, he actually had to rely on his old opponent to raise a hand to get out, which was simply a loss of an old face, but he didn't dare to really fight with Qing Ji, because last time he was burned to death by Qing Ji several Shikigami, if he did it here, I am afraid that his strength would be greatly reduced before he could take action, Ashiya Michiman has always wanted to replace Ampei Harumi's position, this action seems to him to be an opportunity, he has secretly contacted Fujiwara ShΕmitsu's faction, if he performs well enough, he may not be able to compete with Ampei Harumi in the future.
Ashiya Michiman was exiled to the wilderness at the beginning, not because he wanted to be a folk onmyoji.
"Your Excellency Su!" After seeing Ashiya Michiman leave in embarrassment, Ampei Harumi raised his hand and made an inviting gesture.
An invisible ghost girl put away the tea set and quietly retreated into the house.
This is the Earthbound Spirit here.
"Hundreds of Onmyoji have already arrived in Kyoto today." After sitting down, Ampei Qingming said softly: "It is estimated that many people will arrive tomorrow, and we will open the seal of Rashomon and enter the underworld at midnight tomorrow night at the latest." β
Fuso is a big place, so it doesn't take too much time to get there.
Because Fuso during this period believed in ghosts and gods, there were also many onmyoji and monks among the people, who were usually scattered all over Fuso, and they were also a strong force when gathered.
Ampei Qingming continued: "Your Excellency had better recharge your energy today, don't delay the big thing. β
After speaking, An Pei Qingming couldn't help but glance at Qing Ji next to him, Qing Ji's beauty can naturally be said to be the color of the country, but he also knows very well that this kind of banshee is also extremely powerful in absorbing yang energy. An Pei Qingming's mother is a fox fairy, and his father died early may not be due to this reason, he is a little worried that Su Ziyu will lose too much energy if he can't hold it.
How dare I mess around!
I don't think it's time to hide!
Su Ziyu couldn't say if he was bitter, so he could only show a wry smile helplessly.
And Qing Ji next to her couldn't help glaring at An Pei Qingming when she heard this, this guy actually wanted to spoil her good deeds, if it weren't for Su Ziyu, she would have wanted to teach the other party a lesson.
"Master Jieyi is arranging the magic circle, and when the ghost gate is opened, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle." Ampei Qingming said softly: "Although others can help, if you want to attack the ghost Kyoto, I'm afraid you have to rely on us and others." β
Ampere Harumi is a proud person.
Maybe in his opinion, other people are just some cannon fodder, and if he really wants to resolve this disaster, he and Su Ziyu have to rely on him, and now he can count Qingji next to him.
"I've sent a messenger to tell my former friends that there will be a few more high-ranking people coming to help tomorrow." When An Pei Qingming said this, he paused and said, "Tomorrow night, I will lead the crowd to break through the Ghost Gate, hoping that Your Excellency Su can sweep the battle for me." β
Maybe it's because of Hei Qingming's relationship, this time Ampei Qingming has the idea of making amends for his sins, and he actually wants to take on the main battle.
"Yes." Su Ziyu nodded.
He communicated with An Pei Qingming in front of him about tomorrow night, and then returned to his residence with Qingji.
There are already quite a few onmyoji in Kyoto.
Near almost every street, there are people wearing yin and yang clothes burning talismans, and Ampei Qingming seems to be preparing a 'Yin and Yang Five Elements Great Array', and these talismans are connected to form a huge bellflower seal. Fusang's Yin Yang Liao is led by An Pei Qingming, and only he can mobilize enough manpower and material resources to arrange such a magic circle.
Inside the courtyard.
Su Ziyu had just sat down, and his ears couldn't help but move slightly, and then he stood up directly.
"Come out." Su Ziyu said slowly.
Meow!
A cat meow came, followed by the figure of the Nine Lives Cat jumping off the roof.
She first looked around curiously, and then said to Su Ziyu: "Qingxing Lantern let me tell you!" They've rescued Lord Enma! β
"However, Lord Enma is not lightly injured, and it is estimated that he will not appear until tomorrow night."
Enma rescued?
Su Ziyu couldn't help but perk up when he heard this, but then he reacted, Fusang's Enma doesn't seem to be strong, he hasn't seen her in this world for so long, I'm afraid he won't be able to provide much help.
"I see." He nodded.
At this time, Qing Ji came over with a pot of tea, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after seeing the Nine Lives Cat, and then came behind Su Ziyu with a vigilant expression, staring at her coldly.
"Qing Ji ......" The Nine Lives Cat seemed to be frightened, and the cold hair all over its body exploded.
She should have recognized Ji clearly, her expression looked a little cowardly, and she muttered secretly: "I didn't expect the slippery ghost to be true!" β¦β¦ You're going to be out of luck! β¦β¦β
"Then I'll go first." As soon as the Nine Lives Cat looked up, it showed a flattering smile towards Qing Ji, and as soon as he turned around, he disappeared in an instant.
Qing Ji knelt in front of Su Ziyu, poured him a cup of tea and said softly, "Husband? She was? β
"Nine Lives Cat. The people of Hades. Sort of our allies. Su Ziyu glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, so you should have a good rest today." β
Qingxing Lantern should be back.
I just don't know how much help she can provide from there, Su Ziyu is most worried about the Eight Miscellaneous Snake, this monster's status in Fusang is equivalent to that of the God of Calamity, and it may be difficult to defeat him with his own strength alone.
The day passed quickly.
What made Su Ziyu a little relieved was that Qing Ji was really trustworthy now, and he didn't attack him at night that night, which made him worry for a while.
The next day at 10 noon.
Ampei Qingming came to visit him with three people, led by a beautiful woman dressed as a witch, wearing a light red suit, looking a little petite and exquisite, and two of them seemed to be youkai in human form, a young man with a simple appearance was a dog god, under the spiritual vision of an Akita dog who walked like a human, and the other was a tall and heroic woman with a big bow behind her, looking like a canine youkai.
Her strength is a little strong, estimated to be close to the level of a big monster, and Su Ziyu can't see her original form clearly.
Not a canine, it should be some kind of close relative.
These two monsters are the style god of the red-clothed witch, and her relationship with Ampei Qingming seems to be extremely familiar, so she simply came to say hello to Su Ziyu and then took her leave, and before leaving, she glanced at Qingji who was quietly pouring tea next to her in surprise.
"I didn't think that Kiyohime could be surrendered as a Shikigami by someone! It's incredible! The shrine maiden couldn't help but exclaim as she walked out the door.
An Peiqing's expression was a little strange when she heard this, and she looked like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
"Let's go. I'll take you to meet Master Jieyi. He quickly changed the subject, for fear that these words would be heard by Qing Ji.
Meanwhile.
In Ampei Qingming's residence, an extremely beautiful woman also appeared here, she had a delicate melon seed face, her facial features were full of charm, and there was a red beauty mole in the corner of her eye, just looking at it would make people feel like a fox spirit.
"Kudzu!" The woman appeared and whispered in her hand.
Soon.
A woman wearing a fox mask walked out of the back house, and when she saw the other party, her face was immediately full of vigilance, and she said vigilantly: "Nine-tailed fox!" How dare you come here! β
The beautiful woman was transformed by a nine-tailed fox, and her face was slightly pale, as if she was not lightly injured.
The nine-tailed fox stared at Ge Ye in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The ghost Kyoto is already occupied by the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes!" An Peiqing will act tomorrow, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky! β
"And you didn't cause all this?" Ge Ye couldn't help but mock when he heard this: "Sure enough, it's retribution!" β
"Seeing that your injuries are not light, you should have reaped the consequences, right?"
The nine-tailed fox's expression did not change in the slightest, but he said calmly: "Although my strength has been damaged, I have already intercepted Fusang's qi, and it is not difficult to reshape the flesh body Dao fruit." β
"I just don't want to be calculated."
"There is a way here to severely damage the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, and it can also help Ampei Qingming to kill the demons in his heart."
"You give it to Ampere Qingming."
"Let him judge for himself!"
The nine-tailed fox raised his hand and threw out a bag, then turned around and disappeared in place, and said slowly before leaving: "That Qingqiu Cave Mansion was given to you, which is counted as compensation for borrowing your name back then." β
Fox Fairy Ge Ye took the bag with some surprise, she thought about it and entered the mansion with it.
The nine-tailed fox is scheming, and she doesn't trust the other party.
But this matter is too important, Ge Ye can only wait for An Pei Qingming to come back before making plans.
Little by little, time passed.
As the night deepened, a large number of onmyoji and monks began to converge in the direction of Suzaku Avenue, with Onmyoji Harumi and Ashiya Michiman leading the monks, led by Master Jieyi. Su Ziyu followed behind the crowd with Qing Ji, and the big guy was always the last to appear, and he didn't need to make a move in the first battle.
As soon as he arrived near Rashomon, he saw Ashiya Michimitsu with a rather dissatisfied expression, and Ampei Qingming really arranged for him to take the lead, obviously intending to let his people consume the strength of a wave of enemies first.
Not far away.
Ampei Qingming and Master Jieyi nodded towards Su Ziyu, and then shouted: "The ghost gate is closed!" Open! β
Invisible barriers were opened.
Woooooo
A strange yin wind blew, accompanied by a series of dark purple gaps like cracks, and in an instant, an eerie and terrifying door opened at the location of Rashomon.
A terrible wail was heard.
Thousands of resentful spirits and demons poured out of it in an instant.
