Chapter 40: A Strange Appearance
Fujiwara main house, Otsu Prefecture.
It was supposed to be the most noble aristocratic palace in Kyoto except for the daimyos, but it was deserted at this time. There didn't seem to be any people in the whole house.
Mrs. Spider slowly walked into the mansion, and the gorgeous courtyard and high-rise buildings were extremely rare in this era.
She was also a little puzzled, her mission was only to get rid of the head of the Fujiwara family and the eldest daughter of the Fujiwara family. Then they only need to wait for Fujiwara Yoshiko to be swallowed by the Heavenly Feather Feather Slash, and the entire Fujiwara family will fall under their control.
It was a simple plan, but the more she walked into Fujiwara Mansion, the more strange she felt.
It's quiet, it's so quiet.
There were no samurai, no soldiers, no family members, no one to stand in the way. The entire Fujiwara Prefecture was as silent as death.
She came to the door of the main house and pushed it open.
The pungent smell of blood hit instantly, and the beautiful and charming face wrinkled slightly.
From the outside, there was nothing wrong with it, but when you opened the door, you would find that it was full of human heads, and a large amount of blood covered the entire living room, and the floor, walls, and ceilings were full of complex spells drawn with blood.
All the heads here were the personal guards of the head of the Fujiwara family, and their expressions were all in disbelief, as if they would never have thought of it.
It's like the most primitive scene of sacrificing with the blood of living people, full of barbarism and blood.
The head of the Fujiwara family sat on the main seat, but his body was completely opened, his ribs turned out, and all the internal organs in his body disappeared, but he was still smiling at the moment, as if he was mocking Madame Spider.
Yes, that expression, grinning at the corners of the mouth, is a mockery.
This scene made Madame Spider incredulous, and she had an extremely bad feeling, as if everything had been expected by the sneering old man in front of her. Including her assassination mission today.
However, she still walked into the sacrificial venue and slowly came to the head of the Fujiwara family.
Now that the target is dead, all you have to do is cut off his head and go back to receive his life.
She raised the knife in her hand, and the snow-white skin wrapped in the strip of cloth began to swing with her movements.
"You don't know what kind of horror you've awakened, do you?" Suddenly, the neck of the completely dead Fujiwara family head seemed to be twisted and bent, and his playful eyes stared at Lady Spider.
At this moment, Mrs. Spider felt extremely absurd and distorted, and the man in front of her was more like a demon than her.
"Whew!" The knife violently cut off the head, there was no blood, and his head did not flow blood, which was extremely strange.
"Then let you be the nourishment of the outer gods I have called." The head of the head of the Fujiwara family, so said.
Perhaps, the moment he completed this summoning ceremony, he was not the head of the Fujiwara family at all, but some kind of monster that was even more indescribable than a demon.
Madame Spider suddenly felt the crisis, she hurriedly retreated, and the ground where the head of the Fujiwara family was sitting collapsed in an instant, and the entire place covered by the blood barrier collapsed, as if something terrifying had come out.
Then, a tree trunk broke through the ground and pierced the ceiling of the house in an instant, completely tearing open the entire wooden building.
No, it wasn't a tree, it was all a pile of white bones, a patchwork of countless bones, densely packed with holes and all kinds of bones to form a tree-like white bone.
"It's, weird!" At this moment, even Madame Spider, who had become a demon, felt that her skin was tingling all over her body, and unparalleled fear and fear hit her heart.
Demons and weirdness are two completely different things, demons are actually a species, and they both belong to the category of living things. They have their own thoughts, their own wisdom, their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
But the weird are not living creatures, they are more like natural disasters, like laws, like indescribable natural phenomena. Weird can't be killed, there is no life, it's like a natural disaster, but there are certain rules, as long as you can find the rules and break the game, you can survive.
And the priests and monks were able to use the strange laws to completely purify this natural disaster.
Ordinary people often confuse demons with weirdness, but these are two completely different things. Because for the weird, whether it is a human or a demon, they are the object of their hunting.
And for the demons, weirdness is the terrifying monsters that suddenly appeared a hundred years ago, and then more and more, gradually encroaching on the homes that their demons have built up with great difficulty.
Demons are special creatures, and weirdness is more akin to something like grotesque.
When the weirdness first appeared, countless demons thought it was a demon who had escaped from the other side of the sea, and they all wanted to expel these weirdness. However, none of the demons who entered the realm of the strange realm ever returned. Some even became weird members.
However, there are almost no weirdness in the human capital, and even the demons only think that it is the enchantment between the onmyoji and the monk that protects the human capital and expel the weird......
But now, such a powerful weirdness has appeared......
She remembered the strange scene of the blood sacrifice and the words that the head of the Fujiwara family continued to tell even after his head was decapitated......
She immediately threw away her head and brought the news back to Ikhime-sama.
In the information of the two heads of the ten people, the head of the Fujiwara family should be just an ordinary nobleman, and even because he participated in the operation to burn Mt. Hiei outside Kyoto to clear the strangeness, he fell seriously ill there, and after returning, he fell ill and was bedridden for a long time.
It is worth mentioning that Levi was picked up by the head of the Fujiwara family at the Demon Buddha Temple of Mt. Hiei.
She's going to bring this information back, and humans seem to have mastered some kind of ability to actively create weirdness.
She was about to leave, but at this moment, four figures also appeared at the door of the mansion.
"That's ......," Levi also saw the skeletal trees that had risen through Fujiwara Mansion.
"Weird, it's worse than we thought, why did weirdness appear in Kyoto, now it seems that it's not just a matter of demons stealing Kyoto, how did weirdness get in?" Tsuchigomon Nagato replied.
Levi didn't know weird, he just knew that there was such a thing, but for more than a month in time, he was basically just fighting demons, and he had never encountered weirdness.
So before killing the executioner yesterday, he asked the samurai enemy who came to report whether it was a demon or a monster, and he went to kill the executioner himself after knowing that it was not weird.
"Nama Myoho-renge-ka, the young family master commanded, what should I do next?" Master Lianhua looked at Levi, waiting for Levi's next order.
For demons, weirdness is an invincible enemy, but for humans, both Shinto and Buddhism have the means to get rid of weirdness.
Humans, demons, and weirdness, it's like forming a triangular restraint relationship.
