Chapter 13: The Slippery Ghost
I guess this is the neighborhood. ”
Sukoyu walked along the rugged road, and the place where the mountain boy was entrenched was called Ishinomaki Mountain, which I had never heard of before, and it was probably just an unknown hill.
I didn't encounter any monsters along the way, probably because it wasn't dark yet.
Su Ziyu was not in a hurry, so he casually found a hillside to sit and drink some wine, and when the sky gradually darkened, he walked in the direction of Ishinomaki Mountain. This mountain boy has been quite arrogant recently, at least more than a dozen merchants have been killed before and after, and the merchants' goods are also missing, and the wealthy families of the Three Rivers Country have invited some onmyoji to deal with it, but it's a pity that the folk onmyoji is too weak, and the people who invited them have gone and never returned.
In the Nara period, Fuso nationalized the onmyojutsu, and ordinary people were strictly forbidden to own onmyo-do books such as Hetu Luoshu Taiyi, and even in the Heian period, the truly powerful onmyoji were all from the public family.
As he walked, he smelled a smell of wine wafting in the wind.
"This mountain boy learns to drink and swallow the boy, but he learns quite similarly." Su Ziyu flew up with a smile, and a house built on the mountainside appeared in his sight.
It is said that the wine swallowing boy of Mt. Tamba is extremely good at wine, and at night you can smell a faint smell of sake.
I didn't expect it to be the same here.
Su Ziyu casually put on the cloak of invisibility, and then gradually approached the house with the power of psionic flight.
The house looked to have been built recently, a little shabby, with some ghostly fires wafting outside, and before I could get closer, I heard a commotion. There is a bonfire lit in the house, the smell of barbecue comes from afar, there is a shadow in the firelight, all you see are some mountain spirits and ghosts, and there is a tall giant man sitting in the position at the head, estimated to be more than three meters tall, with a green face and fangs, thick body hair, looking like an ape, with a single horn on his head, only one eye on his forehead, and a huge stone hammer beside him, which may weigh hundreds of pounds.
"Contamination found!"
As soon as we got closer, the Space-Time Watcher system reacted.
Su Ziyu frowned and looked at the things roasting on the fire, his expression was slightly uncomfortable, and then he pulled out the meteorite on his waist with a sonorous sound, and fell from the sky under the cover of night, and his figure did not fall to the ground, relying on the power of spiritual flight to glide quickly, and then the meteorite in his hand turned into a streamer and flashed by the fire.
These monsters have some special means, and Su Ziyu doesn't dare to be too big, and it is fatal to make a move, so let's kill the nearby minions first.
"Gain 1 Source Power!"
"Gain 1 Source Power!"
With the emergence of blood light one after another, the iron squirrel next to the bonfire was directly stabbed to death by Su Ziyu with a sword, and next to it was a fat humanoid toad, which was also split open by his sword.
Rumble!
The mountain boy who seemed to be a little drunk reacted extremely quickly, almost at the moment when Su Ziyu made a move, it seemed to be aware, and quickly picked up the stone hammer next to it, and then saw its skin turn into a rock-like color, and a stone wall on the ground suddenly rose to protect it behind it.
This is not an ordinary mountain boy, and ordinary mountain children are not as tall and burly as it, its red pupils are like monsters, and it has been feasting on a human leg in its hand before.
Rumble!
The huge stone hammer set off a gust of wind and smashed down, and a pit with a diameter of more than three meters appeared on the ground in an instant.
"This monster has a lot of strength!" Su Ziyu was shocked, and after appearing, he retreated.
The mountain boy in front of him has a strange power, it seems that he can also control the rock, after it found the figure of Su Ziyu, he immediately chased after him with a stone hammer, and shouted: "Don't let him run!" Someone came to die again! ”
Seven or eight mountain spirits and ghosts ran out.
However, to their surprise, the fish did not run away, but stood outside the door and waited for them to come out.
- "Lightning strike!" ”
Thundered!
In the crackling lightning, an astonishing lightning bolt fell from the sky.
The mountain boy reacted extremely quickly, as if he wanted to dodge, but no matter how fast it was, it couldn't be as fast as lightning, and in an instant, it was struck by lightning, and the whole person looked scorched black.
"Lefa?!" The mountain boy was taken aback and said.
There are also some inconveniences in the ability of psionic lightning, for example, it is not easy to use the Suziyu in the house, and lightning strikes and lightning storms must be in an open place, because this also requires the help of nature's energy. If you use lightning strikes in the house, the effect will be very poor.
- "Time accelerates! ”
After suffering a lightning strike from Su Ziyu head-on, the mountain boy in front of him seemed to be seriously injured, and his whole person seemed to be a lot shorter, and his feet had already escaped into the dirt, as if he wanted to escape with the help of similar soil escapes.
How could Su Ziyu let him get his wish, as everything around him gradually stopped, his figure flashed, and directly cut off the head of the mountain boy in a sharp sword light.
I don't know if it's his illusion, Su Ziyu found that after the time was accelerated to LV6, he really had the illusion that the world had stopped at that moment, and the original frame by frame picture was even slower, and the whole person seemed to be in a world close to static.
"Gain 5 Source Power points!"
"Gain 1 Source Power!"
"Gain 1 Source Power!"
When Su Ziyu's figure reappeared, it was already behind the mountain boy, and he slowly put away the meteorite, and behind him, the mountain boy's headless corpse collapsed with a bang.
I've really gotten a lot stronger!
And the monsters in this world have a lot of gains, and a mountain boy can actually provide a source power value comparable to that of a super deberration, is it because the monsters themselves belong to supernatural existences?
A small boss, four elite monsters.
Su Ziyu easily gained 9 source power points, but the difficulty of the battle felt much lower than other worlds, whether it was in the wasteland world or the world of the witcher, it was quite difficult to kill monsters that could provide so much source power points. Whether it's a super aberration or a high-level vampire, it's not like this mountain boy in front of him who can be killed with a single sword.
This mountain boy has an amazing strange power, which is quite special, but if he can't beat Su Ziyu, no matter how strong he is, it's useless.
Su Ziyu's strength has increased on the one hand, and on the other hand, the monsters in this world don't seem to have super aberrations or tenacious vitality like high-level vampires, and these mountain spirits and ghosts can be killed by cutting off their heads and stabbing them into their hearts. They may have some special abilities, but the samurai among ordinary people also have a chance to kill them.
"Looks like I'm going to have to walk around Fuso." Su Ziyu shook his head and walked into the house in front of him.
It's dirty, smelly, disgusting.
There were a lot of goods piled up in the corner, some gold and silver jewelry, and there were human bones on the ground, which looked a little miserable, Su Ziyu just looked at it and walked out.
He ignited a fire with his telekinesis, and soon devoured everything in front of him.
He has no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry, and ordinary goods are useless, and these monsters seem to be very poor, and they don't even have a decent strange thing on their bodies, and sure enough, the monsters in the countryside are not as rich as the monsters in Kyoto.
Tonight's harvest was okay.
It's been a long time since the Suzi fish has harvested so much source power so easily.
Seriously, although this mountain boy is at the BOSS level, the danger level is about the same as the ghost girl in the witcher world, but it's a pity that the number is a little less, and it would be great if there were a few more.
After a fire burned down the mountain boy's nest, Sukoyu prepared to leave for Edo.
He is not going to go to the Three Rivers Country to receive rewards, and he is not interested in the rewards offered by ordinary people, so he should treat it as a good deed without leaving a name.
A breeze blew.
Not long after Su Ziyu left, a bald old man dressed in a fancy costume appeared on Ishinomaki Mountain, and he walked all the way to himself, and soon came to the collapsed house.
"Whew!"
After glancing at the monster corpses around him, the bald old man's expression instantly became solemn, and he muttered, "Is it so powerful?" ”
All youkai are killed in one hit!
Even the mountain boy didn't let Su Ziyu take out the second sword, and the bald old man glanced at the incomparably smooth broken neck, and said in a deep voice: "Even if An Pei Qingming comes here, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, right?" ”
Speaking of this, the bald old man couldn't help but fall into deep thought, as if he was thinking about something.
"Ugh." After a while, he sighed softly, walked over and took the mountain boy's head, put it aside with the corpse, and then casually popped out a faint blue flame, which quickly devoured the corpses of those monsters, and in the blink of an eye, it burned into a pile of ashes.
Monsters hurt people, and people kill monsters.
Although the slippery head was once the leader of the monsters, he only protected those weak monsters that were not harmful, and the monsters who broke this ring were killed, and the most he could do was to help collect the corpse when he passed by.
"Tapir! Are you there? The slippery head took two steps and whispered.
There was no response for four weeks.
But after a while, a lazy voice sounded in the slippery ghost's head: "What do you want me to do?" Are there any funny nightmares again? ”
There was still nothing around, but it seemed like something was there.
"Where did this man come from? Do you know? The slippery ghost asked in a whisper.
"I don't know." The lazy voice sounded in his mind again, as if he was a little impatient, "Although I am from Middle-earth, I don't know the monks over there. ”
"Swordsmanship is so good!"
"Maybe it's Lu Chunyang's disciple."
Lu Chunyang?
Hearing the tapir's words, the slippery head couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Really? ”
If it was really that disciple, maybe there would be hope.
"How do I know! Guess! The tapir looked careless, and said: "If you want to know, ask the Gu Bird of the Maple Leaf Forest, she sneaked back during the Tang Dynasty, but was later beaten back." ”
Hearing the other party's words, the slippery ghost couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Although he used to be the head of the monsters, it was limited to the local monsters of Fuso, and he usually wouldn't provoke those cross-river dragons who ran from Middle-earth.
The Maple Leaf Forest's Bird is notoriously bad-tempered.
It's a pity that not many people can beat her, and the slippery ghost is not very willing to meet this big monster.
"I'll go to dinner if it's okay." The tapir's voice came, muttering, "There hasn't been anything good to eat lately, and the nightmares that those people have are too boring." ”
Hearing this, the slippery ghost hurriedly said, "Wait a minute! ”
"What?" The tapir's voice said a little impatiently.
The slippery ghost walked in place for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "That person tried his best to release Kiyohime. Can we borrow his hand to clear this hidden danger? ”
Kiyohime?
Hearing the words of the slippery ghost, the tapir's voice actually had a hint of fear, and he whispered: "You are crazy! Didn't that crazy woman run out yet? ”
"Why are we messing with her?"
"Even if Qing Ji is released, they will be the first to suffer."
"She started to go crazy, but the six relatives didn't recognize it!"
The slippery ghost's expression was quite solemn, and he said slowly, "I'm not worried about Kiyohime, but the monster sealed in Mt. Fuji." ”
"How Kiyohime became a youkai, don't you know?"
"Do you not know that you once tried to eat Kiyohime's nightmare, and ended up being seriously injured and almost burned to char?"
Hearing this, the tapir couldn't help but be silent for a while.
Then, as if a little embarrassed, it said, "I didn't sympathize with her at first, our Youkai in Middle-earth are different from you, and they are also human." ”
"Phew! Are you sympathetic? You're just gluttonous! The slippery ghost snorted coldly and said, "Don't forget who saved you and helped you clean up the mess." ”
The tapir hesitated for a moment and said softly, "What do you want to do?" ”
"I'll tell you!"
"That woman is really a madman! I'm not going to go to her dreams again! ”
The slippery ghost pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see." ”
"If he's going to go to Mt. Fuji, there's a good chance he'll run into Kiyohime, so we'll give it a try if we have the chance."
The tapir's voice rang out, "Okay." ”
"But Kiyohime's Seven Emotions Fire is really powerful!"
"Love is hate."
"Obsession becomes a demon."
"If she goes crazy, the two of us may not be able to stop her!"
The slippery head ghost was silent when he heard this, and said after a while: "After all, we still have to give it a try, while the nine-tailed fox is still in Kyoto, we will solve the trouble on Qingji's side first." ”
"Kiyohime really turned into a youkai because of it?" The tapir said cautiously.
Hearing this, the slippery ghost asked rhetorically: "Then do you think that a mortal woman will really hate because of love, become a demon because of madness, and become a big monster when she turns her head?" ”
"And it's a big monster with a human head and a snake body!"
"If it escapes, no one will have a good life."
The tapir should have believed it a little, but he still said stiffly: "Who said no." Isn't that the Seoka lantern in Kyoto? ”
"She loves weird stories so much."
"In the end, the story of 100 things is completed, and I will become a big monster."
The slippery ghost snorted and said, "Qingxing Lantern is different, she is ......"
"Forget it."
"I don't tell you so much. Qing Xing Deng also stared at this person secretly, and she gave him all the words of the Hundred Things. ”
The tapir also snorted and said, "Don't say it." ”
"I'm going to eat!"
