In the evening, the rain cleared up.

In the distant pale blue sky, there are traces of white clouds floating, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, and gradually impregnated with a layer of brilliant and magnificent colors.

Da!

An elderly man carrying a wooden basket on his back was walking on the mountains.

His beard was gray, his face was covered with the ravines left by time, he was dressed in a kudzu coat with sewn pockets, and he held a wooden staff with a strange shape, and his slightly cloudy eyes were filled with an indescribable ghostly light.

At this time, look along a place with a good view.

At the foot of the hill are large patches of rolling wooden village buildings, and smoke curls over the rows of villages, presenting a sense of peace and tranquility.

"Old Witch!"

"Old Witch!"

……

In the village, people along the road are constantly saluting the old man with a cane.

These people looked respectful, with a deep reverence and even a hint of fanaticism in their eyes, and the old man, known as the Old Witch, walked straight through them, and a smile appeared on his face.

In a short time, we reached the center of the village.

There is a wooden building similar to the Earth Shrine, and the light inside is dim, and you can faintly see a stone statue of an unknown existence that looks like a human but not a human, and a beast but not a beast.

"The mountain lord is above!"

The old witch knelt on the ground at this time, his arms outstretched and his palms facing up.

He closed his eyes, opened his mouth, revealing the blackened and mutilated teeth inside, and whispered reverently to the stone statue, "You are the lord of the mountain and the guardian of the kingdom of San'in......"

Airplanes!

With the old witch's murmur, the light in the temple suddenly distorted and darkened.

A grand and ancient thought descended from the darkness, and immediately I saw that the bare face of the stone statue gradually distorted, forming a pair of inhuman facial features.

Suddenly!

A dark, dreary wind blew from an unknown land.

In the distorted shadows, the stone statue became bright and dark under the blowing of the black wind, and a huge black shadow could be faintly seen crawling at its feet, and at this time, at the eyes of the black shadow, there were two ghostly fires that suddenly flickered and lit up.

"The Mountain Monarch is on ......"

The old witch trembled, and he knew that it was the King of the Mountains who had descended.

A hint of fanaticism welled up in his heart, and his tone became more and more humble, and he knelt down and murmured in a carol-like tone: "O lord of the mountains, thy subjects walk in thy arms, live in thy bodies, and will do thy will......"

Buzzing!

At this moment, the stone statue suddenly shook.

The huge black shadow that was crawling on the ground suddenly jumped up, and the two dark fires in his eyes rose, and there was a faint extremely vicious aura emanating from it.

"Lord Shanjun!"

The old witch was a little frightened, thinking that he had angered this ancient guardian who had existed for a long time, and hurriedly kowtowed.

"An unknown powerful ghost is coming......

In the flickering and distorted light, a grand and inhuman idea was transmitted from the stone statue, and the old witch even faintly sensed a hint of fear in it.

"Powerful goblins?"

The old witch panicked in his heart, knowing that even the existence of the guardian Mountain Monarch, who called it a powerful ghost, represented an irresistible disaster for the humans here.

In the past years, it has appeared once.

It was a huge ghost like a mountain, and just passing through this place caused nearly half of the San'in Kingdom to be killed and injured, and the houses were almost completely destroyed, which was still the power that the other party had unintentionally formed.

……

"Quick! Fast! ”

"Everyone hurry to the Mountain Monarch Society, an unknown powerful ghost is coming!"

Men in the prime of life rushed through the huge village with spears in hand, and in their loud shouts, people kept rushing to the middle of the village with all kinds of utensils from the houses, calling for their children and daughters.

Although their faces were pale and frightened, they had not yet lost their minds, and had obviously experienced many similar battles.

"Old Witch!"

In the open space outside the shrine.

A majestic man in leather armor with a bearded face holding a stone axe, his face was calm, and he asked the old witch, "Did the mountain lord say what kind of ghost is it?" ”

"Lord Sanjun said that it is unknown, but I am afraid that it is more powerful than the ghost that once passed by......"

The old witch's expression was extremely sad.

"Old Witch!"

Behind the majestic man with a bearded face was a large group of adult men with fierce expressions and various weapons, and at this time, a young man in leather armor couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there anything that Lord Shanjun can handle?" ”

"There's no other way around until you know what the other party is coming to."

The old witch just shook his head and sighed, "I hope the other party is just passing by, otherwise...... I don't know what kind of devastating ordeal the San'in Kingdom will be. ”

"Daling."

As he spoke, he instructed the majestic man with a beard on his face, "You are the leader of San'in, bring out the drum, light a fire, and let everyone put on the ghost mask." ”

"Yes, Witch!"

A majestic man named Daling responded.

Then a large number of men were gathered together, and a large drum covered with unknown leather on a wooden stake was lifted from the temple, and all the adult men in the open space wore masks of various shapes and shapes, which looked extremely twisted and hideous.

Knock knock!

Knock knock!

The drum was struck by a strangely shaped wooden staff, making a sound like thunder.

At this time, the old witch was wearing a beast bone with huge horns on his head, and a robe with countless thin ropes hanging on his body, and his originally thin body suddenly revealed a strange mystery and tallness.

Rumble!

A large pile of flames rose in the clearing.

Numerous burning fires, forming a large circle, emitted a scorching bright light in the sky that had begun to darken, and on the periphery of the fire, there were countless men wearing hideous masks, with their heads scattered, like demons, holding weapons and shouting frantically to the sound of drums.

Wow!

A huge shadow flowed out of the shrine with a dark and dreary wind.

The black wind blew across the clearing, and the fires suddenly seemed to be poured with oil, and the orange flames suddenly rose into the air, as if they were about to burn into the sky, reflecting the darker and deeper sky.

"Mountain, mountain, mountain!"

The cloaked figures in the clearing twisted and danced wildly, roaring.

The hideous and vicious masks took on a mysterious color in the light of the fire, and in the beating of the drums, it seemed to fall into an atmosphere of extreme madness.

Airplanes!

A large black shadow rose from the clearing.

In the distorted and intertwined shadows of the firelight, the black shadow gradually condensed and formed, turning into a giant thing that looked like a beast but not a beast, like a human and not a human, and at this time it was crawling in mid-air, and the two dark fires in the eyes were uncertain.

A stone statue could be seen floating above, looking out at the endless darkness of the sky.

"Here ......

A grand and ancient thought was transmitted, and it sounded in the hearts of everyone in the clearing.

In the dark and dreary wind, the thunderous drums suddenly became dense like rain, making people listen to their hearts restless, as if their hearts were about to beat out of their chests, and suddenly those twisted and dancing figures were completely boiling.

Click!

In the dark sky, a pale blue meteor suddenly appeared, dragging a long electric light and slowly flying towards here.

Knock knock!

The drums beat loudly.

At this time, the old witch wearing the horn mask seemed to be transformed into a demon, and was frantically beating the big drum, and countless thin ropes fluttered on his body, and he showed his mouth full of broken black teeth, and roared, hoping to drive away this unknown and powerful ghost.

Crackling! Crackling!

Blazing arcs leap to form a huge power grid.

As the distance approached, the meteor that looked like a light blue had already revealed its full appearance, it was a ball of light composed of countless lightning bolts, and at this time, the light and shadow inside were violently distorted, and there was a faint black shadow hidden in it, exuding an extremely large energy reaction aura.

窸窸窣窣窣......

Through the reflection of electric light, smoke floated in the sky behind them.

In the black mist, which resembles a sea of smoky mountains and clouds, there seemed to be countless small black dots swimming in a meandering way, making a subtle sound that made the scalp tingle.
