Chapter 107: Deliberations
Hundreds of ghosts came out, the sky over the entire Yuyang County was shrouded in thick black clouds in a moment, even the moonlight could not penetrate, and the little monsters around the county no longer restrained their demonic energy, the rich demonic energy almost turned into substance, the pink mist visible to the naked eye filled every street, the seemingly quiet county suddenly became dead silent, all the poultry, pigs and dogs were shivering in the corner because of this demonic energy, and occasionally people saw it, and they did not dare to make a little noise, for fear of attracting attention.

Yuyang County Yin and Yang School.
"What the hell is going on!How could so many monsters suddenly appear!" A teacher from the Yin-Yang Academy was shocked when he saw such a scene, "Could it be a hundred ghosts walking at night?"
In just a few minutes, all the teachers who lived in the school gathered in the council hall to the east of the school, and after another fifteen minutes, the entire Yuyang County Onmyoji gathered here, including the Yuyang County Magistrate and eight people from the Kyoto Academy.
The atmosphere in the council hall was depressing, because the demonic aura outside was too heavy, and the expressions on everyone's faces were roughly the same, some were shocked, some were dignified, some were worried, some were panicked, and even fearful, and there was a subtle schadenfreude.
"What do you think?" The magistrate of Yuyang County is also a person who has experienced wind and rain, although he has only held this position for ten years, but he has helped Yuyang County solve countless problems and won the hearts of the people, but there is such a strong demonic spirit in the county, this is the first time he has seen it since he was born.
Sitting in the council hall, the onmyoji of each Yuyang County, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other but no one speaks, they all feel incredible, they are native-born locals, they have never heard of a big demon in the county, only some small monsters that cannot be on the table, but these monsters are very low-key, almost no murder and cannibalism, so they also turn a blind eye, such as the ghost house, although they know that there are monsters living there, and the nearby residents also avoid it, but in fact, the monsters there are low, and nothing happened, so they let it go。
The fact that the monster doesn't make trouble has surprised them, but they didn't think much about it, after all, everyone doesn't make the river water, and no one wants to make things bigger.
"Ahem, I wonder if I can say a few words?"
A calm voice broke the cold scene, and when everyone looked over, they found that it was Wu Qinlin, a teacher from Kyoto's Yin-Yang Academy.
"Of course, sir, please speak. "There is a person who came to save the county master to be grateful, and the other party is not only a teacher from Kyoto Academy, but also a second-grade onmyoji, and his strength is definitely stronger than the onmyoji in Yuyang County, he said hurriedly.
Wu Qinlin nodded, coughed and said, "Since that's the case, I won't talk nonsense, and it is beyond our expectations that such a situation will occur, but there is one news that I am still ready to share with everyone here." ”
When the rest of the people heard it, most of them also understood that it might be the news about this night trip of the hundred ghosts.
"Three weeks ago, my school suddenly received news that a group of monsters from the north were going south, and the cities along the way might be affected, so I was sent to stabilize the situation, and at the same time, after this incident subsided, it was just time to select some students with good potential to study at the university. ”
"The specific incident involves the competition of the lord of the ghost, and the high-level officials in the school also speculate that there may be a large-scale war between monsters, and let us act at the opportunity, I found out on the way before arriving at the county seat today, there are many monsters hidden in the nearby mountains and forests, but I didn't expect Yuyang County to be the center of the storm, so I didn't tell you about this matter at the first time, and I hope you will atone for your sins." ”
Wu Qinlin got up and bowed slightly, apologetic like the people around him, and the others didn't dare to sit anymore and got up one after another.
"Lord Wu, you're serious!"
"Yes, it's not your fault, we didn't expect such a big demon to be hidden in the county. ”
"It's incredible, but if you think about it carefully, you also feel strange, my county is obviously surrounded by mountains and forests, and it stands to reason that monsters are extremely common, but I don't see monsters making trouble, I'm afraid it's because there are big demons sitting in Yuyang County, suppressing the wildness and blood of those monsters. An older Onmyoji in the room said.
"Elder Feng, what you said is a bit inappropriate, could it be that the people of Yuyang County can have enough food and clothing, live a happy and healthy life, or are they not the credit of the monsters?" someone retorted.
"Yes, Elder Feng, don't say that, the people of our county are safe and sound because of the county magistrate's merits. ”
There was a brief silence after several people refuted the old onmyoji's words, because the other onmyoji present also considered a key point, why don't the monsters make trouble? Could it be that the county magistrate's governance can still tame the monsters hidden in the county town?
A young teacher slowly raised his hand in the eyes of everyone, and said a little nervously: "I think that Elder Feng is right, if there is no big demon in charge, I can't understand why the monsters in Yuyang County can hold back their instincts and not harm the people in the county." ”
After saying that, most of the onmyoji nodded, and even the county magistrate agreed with this statement, which made the person who refuted it in front of him lose face, and stopped talking with a black face.
Wu Qinlin also said: "Yes, the behavior of the several waves of monsters we encountered on the way here is very strange, as disciplined as the army, it is really incomprehensible, so the only explanation is that they are all demon armies, and nine times out of ten they are the protagonists of this monster war." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people around couldn't help but wrinkle their brows, Demon Army, this term is too awkward to appear in a small county town.
"Then what should we do? What if those demon armies attack the county seat?"
The demonic aura in the outside world has not weakened, but has a tendency to become stronger and stronger.
Wu Qinlin nodded at the questioner and said: "If the monsters in Yuyang County are overflowing, I will still be worried about it, but from Feng Lao's words, I understand that the big demon hidden here does not have the intention of harming the people of Yuyang County, otherwise, the hundred ghosts have been walking at night for so long, why is the surroundings so calm, and the monsters in the mountains and forests around the county town have no idea of entering the city, obviously because this big demon is unwilling to disturb the order in the city." ”
The questioner hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "Could it be the calm before the storm?"
"Then how do you explain the tranquility of Yuyang County in recent decades?"
"This ......"
Hearing Wu Qinlin's analysis, the onmyoji seemed to have taken a reassuring pill and were no longer worried.
"I have a question. At this time, a student from Kyoto School asked, but it was Luan who asked about the strange behavior of the monsters in the surrounding mountains and forests during the day, "Since there is a big demon living in Yuyang County, where does he live?"
As soon as this question came out, a thought flashed through the minds of many onmyoji.
"Is it a ghost house?" the county magistrate first asked.
"No, for some reason in that house two days ago, all the monsters were gone. Someone replied.
"What kind of place could that be?" muttered the county magistrate.
Luan spoke: "Generally, monsters like to live in secluded places, and because they are big demons, he has a lot of subordinates, so this place will be very large, is there such a place in Yuyang County?"
Secluded place, big place.
All the onmyoji in Yuyang County thought about these two conditions, and within a few seconds, someone immediately reacted and said the answer.
"No. 23 Ghost Street!"
