Chapter 207: Rescue the Mountain Monster
Early the next morning, Zhang Fan and Akon said goodbye to the Tuyumen family, saying that since they had received the message of Nagami Zhenai, they would go to Echizen to inform her mother that they would know, so as to fulfill the old woman's wish. The Tuyumen family didn't do much to stay, and the two left.
To get to Echizen, you have to pass through the Mino area, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only a gap is opened to O, sharing a Nobi Plain. Willis galloped all the way, and in just one day, he reached the Mino Mountains. I contacted Honzo before, but there is still no response, and it seems that this ninjutsu training is very hard.
The three of them rode very fast, but they bought some food as they passed through the villages and towns, and stopped for a while. That night, the three of them stayed at a hotel in a small town. The inn is also an izaya and the owner is a simple man, and in the evenings, men from nearby villages and towns gather to drink and have fun and tell some gossip about the neighborhood.
The town was not far from the battlefield of the Battle of Sekigahara, the largest battle in Japanese history a decade earlier, so Akon learned a few details about the battle. This battle would be fought again five years later, and it would eventually determine Tokugawa Ieyasu's supremacy. However, Japan has been stable for ten years, and there is very little smell of war here.
As Akon laughed and talked to the drinkers, one of the pieces caught his attention. It turns out that there has been a recent vicious incident of mountain monsters attacking villagers in the mountains. The villagers have always worshiped these mountain monsters, and have also set up shrines for them, and offerings are made regularly.
And those mountain monsters are also very docile, guarding the people on this side. Usually for the villagers to drive out wild beasts, protect the farms, and even some robbers have been repelled by these kind mountain monsters. Therefore, it is deeply loved by the people on this side.
But just this fall, those mountain monsters suddenly disappeared! Originally, this time was the harvest season, and the villagers also offered many offerings, and the mountain monsters were also diligent in driving away the wild beasts that came to rob the winter food. But this year, there have been more incidents of villagers being attacked by wild boars and wolves, but those mountain monsters have not appeared, and they have not even eaten the offerings, which is very strange!
What's even more outrageous is that the rarely haunted mountain monster king actually came out alone a while ago, attacked the nearby villages, and killed some people, which is a thing that makes many nearby people unbelievable. According to the surviving villagers of the village, the mountain monster king seemed to be very violent, and it seemed to be seriously injured. I guess it has something to do with the disappearance of those mountain monsters!
The mountain monsters are very powerful, and even if the daimyo sends troops to surround and suppress them, it will be difficult to defeat them. So who made the mountain monsters disappear, and who made the mountain monster king injured? Now even the nearby daimyo was alarmed by this incident, and sent soldiers to various villages to protect them. And it seems that there is also a reward to get rid of this mountain monster king who has become a harmful monster.
Zhang Fan and Akon glanced at each other, and their hearts moved. Then he asked, "May I ask this old man, where does that mountain monster king often haunt?" How far away is this? ”
"Climb over the mountain in front of you, and walk ten miles further, and you will find the village where the Mountain Monster King attacked last time. There are officers and soldiers guarding there, and if you outsiders have the ability, you can try it, and the daimyo of this place will be rewarded. ”
The three of them discussed it for a while, and when they saw that it was not too far from here, they decided to go and have a look. This Mino area is very close to Owari, and listening to the accounts of these villagers, it is likely that Nagami Sada Ai learned about this situation and managed to kill the kind mountain monsters and make a batch of puppets. This guy did it.
Although the Tuyumen family also hunts high-level youkai, at least they are harmful to humans, or legends are harmful, under the guise of eliminating harm for the people. In order to make a puppet, this guy is hunting even a kind monster by any means, and his heart is ruthless!
After a night of silence, the three of them went to the village where the mountain monster king had attacked.
More than 20 miles of mountain road, the three of them arrived in more than two hours. Sure enough, I saw a smashed village, and when I looked down from the mountain, the village looked like a toy model that had been trampled on a few times, which was very regrettable. Entering the entrance of the village, sure enough, a large group of soldiers guarded and helped clean up the mess.
Akon went up to inquire, and the commander of the group of soldiers was very happy to hear that someone was willing to subdue the mountain monster king. The three were warmly received and the surviving villagers were asked to tell the details. It seems that this mountain monster king has attacked more than one village, this village is the most affected, and has been attacked several times! The king of the mountain monsters was in the nearby mountains.
However, I heard that some ronin samurai and onmyoji also entered the mountain at this time. Akon asked for general directions, and the three of them headed into the mountain. Along the way, Akon released some paper golems, all of which were bird puppets that were good at flying, and searched around. These low-level puppets can be used well, but they can also do great things.
Going deep into the mountains, Akon also found some traces of the Mountain Monster King, but it was intermittently not clear, and it seemed that this Mountain Monster King had some ability to cover up his whereabouts.
After two days of searching, one of Akon's paper golems flew back, suggesting that there was a large monster fighting humans at a waterhole ahead. The green wing was fast, and she went out dozens of feet in a few vertical jumps, and she went over to investigate first.
A short time later, Greenwing sent a message that an Onmyoji and several ronins were besieging the Mountain Monster King. Onmyoji is still an acquaintance, and it is Eternal Sada Ai! Zhang Fan Aken was taken aback, that shot of the nirvana really didn't kill him! This time, I can't let him go. The two quickened their pace and went straight ahead.
Just as he was about to arrive, he heard a terrible roar that shook the four fields, and the green wing sent a message that the mountain monster king was knocked down by the Onmyoji! Ask the two if they want to attack and stop Nagami Zhenai.
Zhang Fan was worried that Green Wing didn't understand Nagami Zhenai's tricks, so he stopped her, and he and Akon rushed to the scene. Sure enough, Onmyoji Yongjian Zhenai was still dressed like that, but Zhang Fan felt that he was more similar to three hundred years later. It seems that there is a little difference from him before, but I can't say where the specific difference is.
The Mountain Monster King was a little smaller than Akon's Mountain Monster King puppet, and he was dressed in a similar outfit. Now he is covered in injuries and falls to the ground, and it seems that he can't do it. A ronin samurai was about to go up and cut the neck of the mountain monster king, but Nagami Sada-ae stopped him and took out a talisman from his bosom, which Akon knew, was the seal that wanted to seal Willis last time. I have also found some of the abodes of Yongjian Zhenai in the territory of the fox demon in the Xintai Forest.
When Zhang Fan saw it, he didn't say a word, he took off the M1 rifle and aimed it at the Onmyoji, and the green spiritual power bullet shot out. The sound of the bullet is not loud, but the power is not small, and the attack power of 1200 points, if you are not prepared, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.
Seeing the light of the rune paper in the onmyoji's hand, it was about to be pasted on the head of the mountain monster king! A flash of green light pierced through the rune paper and shot onto the Onmyoji's body! The Onmyoji's body was hit with layers of ripples, and then it seemed as if the glass had been broken, "Bang! With a bang, the protective barrier shattered into a puff of glittering fragments and disappeared!
Nagami Zhenai was taken aback and shouted, "It's you again!" ”
Immediately, he didn't even hesitate, stretched out one hand, took out a talisman between his two fingers, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and shouted: "Wind Spirit Flash!" The talisman did not ignite spontaneously combusted, turned into a puff of green smoke, and a five-pointed star rune array under the feet of the Onmyoji lit up and rose rapidly. With the rise of the pentagram, the onmyoji began to disappear from his feet in front of everyone's eyes!
The ronin warriors on the side were all taken aback, this onmyoji with high mana did not show the slightest timidity in the face of the powerful mountain monster king, but was scared away by a little green light!
Zhang Fan Akin smiled bitterly when he saw this onmyoji running so fast, it seemed that the attack still hit him hard, and the impact on this onmyoji was too great, and he ran away before he could see where the three of them were!
The ronins didn't know how powerful the three of them were, so they all gathered around and saw that there were three young men and only one samurai. The other two, who didn't seem to be very powerful, laughed. They were invited by the Onmyoji to contain the Mountain Monster King and buy time for the Onmyoji to cast spells.
None of the defensive spells that the Onmyoji blessed them with had disappeared yet. This defensive spell can connect their defenses together to form a perfect defensive enchantment, which even the mountain monster king's strange power can't break!
Aren't these boys here looking for death?! Ronins are also good and bad, and haode ronins are also chivalrous, eliminating violence and peace, and asking for life for the people! Evil ronins sometimes make cameo appearances as robbers, robbing homes and houses, seeking money and killing people! These ronins are clearly not the former.
Zhang Fan ignored them, walked up to the Mountain Monster King, knotted the Donkey Kong wheel seal with both hands, and shouted, "Soldier (dart)!" Then pressed on the head of the mountain monster king, and saw a burst of golden light lit up, enveloping Zhang Fan and the mountain monster king.
The scars on the Mountain Monster King's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye! In Zhang Fan's eyes, the red blood bar on the head of the mountain monster king only rose slightly, very slowly. It seems that this mountain monster king is seriously injured, and it is not only external!
Zhang Fan made two handprints one after another, the inner lion seal and the wisdom fist seal, and shouted respectively, "Those (negotiate)!" "Column (split)!" The golden light was even worse, and the Mountain Monster King's physical strength recovered a little faster, but it was still difficult to get out of the dangerous state!
A few ronins were startled by Zhang Fan's self-talking spell, but when they saw him, they seemed to be saving the Mountain Monster King. They were all in a hurry, shouting and rushing forward, wanting to kill this guy who had no one in his eyes.
It's just that the fastest rush is also the farthest fly! A tall and handsome figure in front of Zhang Fan ruthlessly blocked the way of the ronins. Green Wing dares to challenge them alone!
Both the challenge and the results are condensed into one word: "Get out!" ”
All opponents accepted the challenge, and at the same time took the consequences of the challenge. At this time, these ronins found that they were not wronged, this handsome martial artist, Liliang was not smaller than the mountain monster king, and his martial arts skills were even more outrageous. What is the concept of using the liliang of the mountain monster king to dial thousands of pounds? Thousands of pounds are only four taels!
