Chapter 3: The Ghost Gate
A complete set of carcasses appeared in front of him.
There was nothing inside it, but it instantly pulled out the sword on his waist and protected it in front of this onmyoji, this armor seems to be a kind of ghost, the broken armor seems to have gone through a long time, there are some mottled sword traces on the surface, when Su Ziyu looks at it, it seems to faintly hear the sound of fighting on the battlefield.
"You're human? Or ghosts? The onmyoji in front of him had an extremely vigilant expression, hiding behind the carcass pill and shouting.
The strength of the man who appeared in front of him was extremely terrifying.
He had never seen anyone kick a stone with such power before, and if he hadn't cast a spell in time to open the Imperial Guard's barrier, he would have been knocked down by a stone on the spot.
"Guess!" Su Ziyu smiled, looking at the ghost general in front of him, his pupils narrowed slightly.
In Fuso in ancient times, only military generals would wear armor, and as soon as you look at the equipment, you can know that this Shikigami may be a ghost turned into a certain military general in ancient times after his death, and the onmyoji of this world still has a little means.
Su Ziyu's figure flashed by.
The ghost general in front of him seemed to stiffen a little when he was watching, even this onmyoji was helpless, and before he could react, he saw a little cold light flash in front of him, and Su Ziyu's figure intervened with the ghost general, and the entire carcass pill was completely dispersed in the next second.
Jingle bell.
Fragments of armor were scattered on the ground, and Su Ziyu picked up the knife with a tip of his toes, glanced at it, and threw it away.
The quality of this weapon was a bit poor, and it was almost cut off by the meteor.
- "Bondage Charm! ”
The onmyoji in front of him had his pupils shrunk, and he realized that he had encountered a great enemy that he had never encountered before, and he completed the magic seal at a speed that almost completely surpassed the peak, and then a chain-like spell composed entirely of energy shot out from the flying talisman, and it was instantly wrapped around Su Ziyu's body.
"It's kind of like immobilization." Suziyu's footsteps stopped.
Then, he took a deep breath, his strong muscles bulging, and with a click, the chain of the rune, which was made entirely of energy, was broken.
This level of spell couldn't even break his tenacity immunity.
Not to mention Su Ziyu, maybe any old witcher can easily rely on brute force to exempt this level of body-binding spells, according to Ms. Enid's judgment criteria, the onmyoji in front of him is just a spellcaster between the first and second orders, and the only special means is that he can summon Shikigami.
However, this ability can be done by many warlocks and necromancers, and the latter can summon quite a few undead creatures.
"Who the hell are you?" The onmyoji's pupils were dilated, and his voice was quite nervous.
"Me? A passing traveler. Bang, cracks appeared on the ground under Su Ziyu's feet, and his figure flew out in an instant, and he didn't take out his sword, but just knocked on the opponent's neck with his palm.
The strength is just right.
This onmyoji fell into a coma on the spot, and Su Ziyu was afraid that he would break the opponent's neck with too much force at first.
After all, he only changed into the Fire Giant Belt today.
"It looks like agility enhancements can improve your ability to control your strength." Su Ziyu squatted down and picked up a jade pendant of a yin-yang fish.
Not bad!
It's still a strange thing.
"Strange Thing: Yin Yang Jade."
"Rank: First Order."
"Effect: A strange object made of Yin Jade and Yang Jade, which can soothe the mind to a certain extent, and has a certain deterrent effect on weak ghost objects."
Is this the onmyoji's talisman?
Su Ziyu picked up a piece of rune paper and glanced at it, but quickly lost interest and threw it away.
He is not interested in any means that require materials to cast spells, because the battles faced by Su Ziyu are extreme, especially in the technological plane, and by the time you take out the rune paper, I am afraid that the bullets will already drown you.
However, Onmyoji's Imperial Guardian Enchantment is very interesting, a bit like Su Ziyu's psionic protective barrier.
- "Vision! ”
Su Ziyu got up and walked into the collapsed Rashomon, a large number of translucent enchantments appeared in his field of vision, and many mortals carved on the stone with runes that could not be seen by the naked eye, he walked all the way to the center of Rashomon, and then there was a trance in Su Ziyu's sight, as if the world was separated from the world, and there was a certain degree of chaos in the space in front of him.
Within the shattered spatial field of view.
Su Ziyu once again saw a gloomy ancient city - Oni Kyoto!
"It looks like Rashomon is really connected to the underworld." Su Ziyu didn't run around for fear of accidentally destroying the enchantment laid by the onmyoji.
He seemed to sense something.
When Su Ziyu turned his head to look behind him, he saw a bewishing woman in a bright red kimono, this woman's bare skin was as pale as bones, and her slender and sharp fingernails were painted a dark blue, she was standing at the intersection about two hundred meters away from Su Ziyu, wearing a pendant made of white bone on her head, and holding a sword that seemed to be made of human vertebrae.
When Suziyu looked at her, she also saw Suziyu in front of her.
"Mortal? Or ghosts? ”
"You smell of green lights!" The bewitching woman opened her scarlet pupils, she stretched out her slender tongue and licked the corners of her mouth, and slowly pulled out the bone sword in her hand.
Slightly stronger.
The other party seems to be guarding here, and when Su Ziyu opened her spiritual vision and saw Ghost Kyoto, he himself also entered her field of vision.
"Lord Enma forbids mortals to enter the Demon Capital!" The demonic woman in front of her drew her sword and pointed at Su Ziyu, and said in a condensed voice: "Leave now!" Or die! ”
Enma?
Some more useful information was obtained.
Su Ziyu glanced at her with a slight frown, and there was no idea of doing anything in her heart for the time being, not because of the demonic woman herself, but because of the Enma Lord she mentioned in her mouth.
In the absence of a clear understanding of the world, he didn't want to provoke some obviously very powerful guys.
It seems that the Seokhang lantern has a very high status in Oni Kyoto.
"I'm just passing through here." Su Ziyu smiled and turned to leave Rashomon.
As the power of the vision turned off, everything he saw faded away.
The strange woman had vanished, and everything in the Oni Kyoto was gradually being obscured, and all that appeared in front of her was a collapsed city gate.
A rush of footsteps was coming.
"Did you come here so soon?" Su Ziyu casually put on an invisibility cloak, and the whole person quickly disappeared in place.
Half a minute later.
Three men dressed as Onmyoji appeared in front of them, and there was a beautiful-looking shrine maiden next to them, and they quickly checked the injuries of the onmyoji who fell to the ground, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay." Rong Sheng just passed out in a coma. ”
"Jiping."
"You send him back. I'm looking for traces of the enemy. ”
Among the people who rushed here seemed to be a pair of brothers, they all looked very handsome, and their strength seemed to be very good, and they summoned a digital god as soon as they raised their hands.
These two seem to be Ampere Qingming's sons.
The shrine maiden next to her didn't know very well, but she didn't feel weak.
Su Ziyu took a few glances in the dark and left, now is not the time to meet with the Onmyoji, he is waiting for a suitable opportunity to meet Ampei Qingming, who is said to be the most powerful Onmyoji of this era.
Ampei Qingming seems to have been staying in the palace recently, and he is now very valued by the Fuso royal family.
Idle and boring.
Su Ziyu went to the north of Kyoto, where the princes and nobles lived, and he originally planned to see the style of the Fuso Heian period and admire the beauties of this era, but when he saw a bunch of people with their teeth painted black, he immediately lost interest.
He almost forgot that the princes and nobles of Fusang in this era had the custom of black teeth, and some women would shave their eyebrows clean.
Su Ziyu didn't appreciate it a little, so he left after a little strolling.
However, it is still good to look at the customs of Kyoto, and the people of Fuso seem to like cherry blossoms very much, and along the way, Suziyu saw many cherry blossom trees, and faintly smelled a trace of demonic energy.
It must be demonic.
Suziyu can't tell these apart, but the demon hunters, ghosts, and monsters all have a unique taste. The Witcher has a unique smell that may be heavier than these youkai, and if Fantesin comes to this world, it is very likely that he will be treated as a giant youkai in human form.
There are really many youkai in this era.
Kyoto is a place where humans and demons mingle, but everything looks relatively normal during the day.
There were some more merchants in the inn.
Suziyu ate a few things and prepared to wait until it was dark before acting.
During the day.
Those monsters seemed to be hiding, and the clover emblem gave several inductions, but Su Ziyu didn't find the target.
Night falls.
As the sky gets darker, there are very few pedestrians on the road.
The doors of every house here are closed, the whole street is empty, the hotel is closed early, there is not even a patrol on the road, and the silence around is a bit too much.
"Something is wrong!"
Su Ziyu frowned and looked around, he felt as if he was back in the ghost Kyoto, but he could indeed hear faint human voices, as well as some lights in the distance.
It felt like Kyoto and Oni Kyoto were reunited after nightfall.
- "Vision! ”
There is an overlapping phenomenon in the field of vision, and the ghost Kyoto is seen in the spiritual state, and the Kyoto is seen in the normal state, and the faint ghost fire is emerging, as if there are many little ghosts running around in the ghost Kyoto.
An invisible spatial barrier separates Kyoto from Ghost Kyoto, but this barrier is fragile, as if it can be broken with a simple poke of a finger.
He strolled all the way down the street.
Just when Su Ziyu was about to go to another place to take a look, suddenly a beautiful female voice came from his ear.
"Lord Su."
"We're meeting again!" Dressed in a light green kimono, Qing Xing Deng stood in the air not far away with a smile, looking lazy and half-snuggling next to the faintly burning green lantern.
Behind her tonight there are two maids who are also wearing kimonos, one is embroidered with flowers and birds, the other is embroidered with cherry blossoms, also wearing a strange grimace mask, her long black hair falls to her waist, her expression looks extremely respectful, her hands are staggered and her abdomen is down, and a pair of black and sharp nails are slightly tucked away.
"It's a nice night." Su Ziyu smiled a little reluctantly.
I actually met the Qingxing lantern again.
He obviously bounced away the ghost fire that the other party had printed on him, but he didn't expect that Qingxing Lantern would still have a way to find him.
Is this big monster eyeing him?
"Hmm. The moonlight tonight is indeed beautiful. Qing Xing Deng looked up at a blood-red crescent moon in the sky, and said in an ethereal and cheerful tone: "After the separation last night, the concubine was reluctant to miss Master Su. ”
"So tonight, I couldn't help but invite Master Su to travel together."
"I don't know if Lord Su can appreciate his face?"
After speaking, Qing Xing Deng looked at the Su Ziyu in front of him, and wisps of flame appeared in a pair of dark green pupils.
Do you look like you can say no?
Su Ziyu frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Where to go?" ”
Anyway, it's still a long time to stay in this world, so you don't need to rush to do things, just to find out about the situation of the monsters in this world.
"There is a hot spring near Mt. Tamba that is excellent." Qingxing Lantern fell like a fairy, and a flying moth fire was scattered between the waving sleeves of her clothes, she looked at the Su Ziyu in front of her, and said with a smile: "Why don't you invite Master Su to play with you tonight?" ”
Mt. Tambo?
Su Ziyu frowned when he heard this, he had heard of this place during the day, and it was said that there was a big monster named Wine Swallowing Boy.
Interesting.
What the hell does this Qingxing lantern want to do?
"Okay." Su Ziyu suddenly smiled and said.
Anyway, this place is also a trip he must go, since the night is so good today, and there are beautiful people invited, why not go and take a look.
Wine swallowing boy.
The famous youkai of the Heian period in the legend of Fuso, the leader of the oni clan, is said to be a yokai with the appearance of a handsome boy. Legend has it that he specialized in seducing virgins, and when he did, he would eat their flesh and drink their blood.
Because of his addiction to alcohol, he is called a drunken boy.
"Please." Qingxingdeng couldn't help but smile toothily after Su Ziyu agreed, raised his hand and made an inviting gesture.
A horse-drawn carriage with ghostly fires burning around it sped by.
Qing Xing Deng sat on his tiptoes lightly, and then looked at Su Ziyu with a light smile, wisps of ghost fire swaying, and in front of the carriage was a paper horse burning with a faint blue flame.
Su Ziyu got up and came to the carriage, and a cold chill made his muscles tense slightly.
The carriage sped out along the streets of Oni Kyoto, and along the way, you could see many demons and monsters, including imps in robes, black shadows hidden in the walls, and one-eyed monsters floating in the clouds.
