Chapter 192: Hundred Ghosts Night Walk (II)
Sandstone courtyards, bell and drum temples, high-rise minarets. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoγγ With everything you need, this scene based on the Heian period is very rich.
Hee led the people of the supernatural community to sit on the balcony of a higher building, and there will be a lot of various "creatures" on the street, and it is best not to move around at will at this time, otherwise it will not be good if one or two people are separated.
"What do these Japanese ghosts look like? Is it similar to Sadako or something? Ma Chun asked Du Shuang curiously.
Without waiting for Du Shuang to answer, Yang Chen preemptively gave an explanation, "There are all kinds of things, there are humanoids, beasts, and some furniture may float out."
Hu Xiaoyun said suspiciously: "Isn't that scene very eye-catching?" β
"It's very eye-catching" Hee began to drink coffee to herself again, "Don't be too nervous, Japanese ghosts don't exist purely for the purpose of killing like in the movie, and there are actually ways to refrain from it"
Yang Chen immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, don't worry, it won't be unsolvable." This kind of scene has only been seen in books, and there is almost no chance of seeing it with your own eyes, so this time it is really a feast for the eyes."
Ma Chun touched his flesh shoulder angrily, "Be serious, now we are in a ghost nest, what do you think?" β
Du Shuang also looked a little uneasy: "Yes... No matter how much you know about it, but you have experienced it personally, and there are some ghosts all around, which is still creepy. β
In the time they were discussing, things had already begun to haunt the streets, Hu Xiaoyun's eyes were sharp, and he quickly noticed that they looked in the direction they were pointing, "Look, what are those?" β
Looking down from the balcony, several dog-like animals appeared at the corner of the street dozens of meters away, and there were about a dozen of them, and they were quietly running onto the street one by one.
"Weasels?" Ma Chun cupped his eyes and made a judgment on the animals.
Yang Chen lay on the wooden fence and stared at the group of animals, while explaining, "It's a weasel, it's a weasel!" Don't be so dirty, okay? β
The others were also intrigued, and carefully observed the animals with pale and buttery fur, and saw that when they came to the street, they crowded together, and then something strange happened, and they counted the twelve ferrets, all standing upright in the same direction, and then opening their mouths wide... Whoo~~ Small flames came out of their mouths and quickly gathered into a long fiery snake.
"My good man, it turns out that the legend that flocks of ferrets will breathe fire when they get together is true" Yang Chen looked at the behavior of these small animals in amazement, and sighed secretly in his heart.
"Look over there, what's coming over there" Ma Chun asked everyone to look in another direction, and three birds with dark feathers flew in the sky, some of them looked like herons, but their wings faintly shone with blue flames, leaving a smoke-like trail after crossing the air.
This time, it was Du Shuang who made an explanation: "That's... Is it a heron fire? It is said that when a heron grows to a certain age, a blue flame will appear on its body."
At this time, all kinds of gongs and drums are played in the town, and the already noisy streets become more lively and popular, but I don't know what and where the instruments are playing.
The doors of each house were opened, and the "ghosts" of various forms came out to move, as Yang Chen described, some of them were humanoids, some were animals, and some unnamed objects, but they all had life and mobility.
The streets quickly became crowded with the presence of these "ghosts".
The humanoid yokai are not only physically formed, they are all dressed in colorful kimonos, with wide belts and neat buns, some of them have the same facial features as ordinary people, and some of them have pure flesh or delicate masks. Fat, thin, tall, short... Everything but the kitchen sink.
There are also many beast-type monsters, although they are fur and horns, they can walk on two legs like humans, and some are also wearing clothes, and they do not distinguish between land, sea and air, as if the spatial laws of this place are very open, and they do not need to follow the laws of physics.
Giant goldfish, more than three feet long, swim around in mid-air without water, occasionally swallowing a series of bubbles.
The two-tailed cat lazily rested on the eaves, a bamboo pipe rolled on the ground, and soon a small fluffy head sprang out from the mouth of the pipe, at first I thought it was a mouse, but at first I found that it looked more like a pocket fox.
There are also some "ghosts" with paper umbrellas, and they can't see their appearance clearly from above, but you can see tails dragging behind them.
A snake that can change the length of its body at will is easily shuttling among the ghosts, and some illusory human forms that are just faint black shadows and have no body are fluttering slowly.
In addition to the monsters in the form of humans and beasts, the largest number is actually all kinds of dead things that should not be alive. For example, paper lanterns, proud children who no one rides, tall wine gourds for children... I don't see them with legs, but they can move on their own.
Occasionally, there are a few huge monsters, they are also very domineering, only walk in the middle, so that the ghosts have to give way to them, one of the more winkling is the animal that has always looked like a dog, its body is more than three meters long, there are five large tails of different colors fluttering behind the buttocks, and it walks with its head held high, very proud.
These monsters are not only shopping like ordinary people, but also some band-like teams, holding all kinds of musical instruments in their hands while walking and beating, but the scene is too noisy to hear the melody clearly, but the most prominent of them can be heard is the sound of bamboo pipes flute and the dull sound of leather drums.
There was a small flowing river in the city, about four or five meters wide, and it was impossible to visually measure its length. It winds its way through the city like a snake, and with things coming ashore in the water, it seems that those fish-like yokai followed the river to the main street.
The scene in front of them has already stunned everyone in the supernatural community, and their eyes are a little overwhelmed, and they don't know where to put it, as if any corner is a new world, and any animal is extremely magical.
Where have the young people living in the real world seen this kind of scene, let alone them, even Hee has only seen this veritable ghost market when he has a few opportunities to come to this town. All this, even if it is the so-called Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, belongs to the grand gathering of the ghosts.
And in such a lively atmosphere, the invited people who are human beings seem out of place, and if they are also outlined in this picture, it will be found that it is very incongruous, not because of the relationship between appearance and clothing, but because of the temperament of the living people, which does not match the ghosts at all.
