The time to sneak into the palace is late tomorrow night, and while waiting, Lin Xun decides to go to the last remaining location in Kyoto, the 'Bonghuo Ancient Mound'

【……】

['Bonghuo Kozuka' is located in the corner of Kyoto Castle, and you come here after a long walk. 】

[A long wall encloses this huge cemetery, and among them is a dense number of tombstones that cannot be seen at a glance. 】

[There are few people here, there are few people, but there is no sense of desolation and dilapidation in the cemetery, and every black tombstone is wiped with dust, which is obviously maintained by someone every day. 】

[It's just that what makes you puzzled is that each tombstone is pitch black, and there is no inscription engraved on it, and you can't even know who the owner of the tomb is. 】

[You walked into the depths of the cemetery and finally found a person who was sweeping the tombstone. 】

[It is a rickety old man in the twilight, who is carefully wiping the tombstone. 】

[You have discovered the 'Ancient Tomb Keeper who worships fire!'] 】

[The old man obviously saw you too, and he glanced at you casually and was about to continue wiping the tombstone, when suddenly it looked stunned, stopped what it was doing, came to you, and looked you up and down carefully. 】

[The grave keeper looked at you for a long time, his eyes became more and more surprised, and he couldn't help but ask, who is Your Excellency, and why does he have such a strong aura of Yama on his body. 】

[Even if you insist on burning incense day and night for decades, it is impossible to have such a rich and pure breath of the Yama! 】

[The grave keeper seems to have thought of something, and asks in disbelief, are you the incarnation of a god under the command of Yama who walks in the world, otherwise, otherwise it is really impossible to explain this matter......]

[It knelt on the ground excitedly, with tears in its eyes, and bowed to you again and again, and couldn't help but tell that as the most faithful believer of the god Yama, in addition to wiping the tombstone every day, it burned incense to worship the gods. 】

[Whether it is the idol of the god of Yama or the rest of the gods under the command of the god of Yama, they all burn incense and worship day and night, and they have never slackened, but ...... But for some reason, it could feel that its own beliefs seemed to be stained with a layer of mud and become less and less pure. 】

[Its piety has not wavered in the slightest, but its faith has gradually become dirty......]

[The grave keeper bows deeply, presses his forehead against the ground at your feet, and begs you, as the embodiment of the gods, to solve its doubts.] 】

[You look at the pious old man in front of you, and you don't explain, but ask why there is no inscription on the tombstone of the 'Fenghuo Ancient Mound'. 】

[You asked the question that everyone knows, and the old man recognized your identity, and it told you that the 'Fenghuo Ancient Mound' is a cemetery for human believers who died in the war of the gods. 】

[Due to the age of the Divine War, the sacrificed 'Canggu Tianyan' believers have long since lost their bones, and there are no bones under the tombstones, let alone burial goods. 】

[Later generations erected tombstones only to pay homage to the sweep, so they did not engrave the inscriptions. 】

[It is a devout grave keeper who dedicates his life to this place, maintaining the tombstones of the gods and heroes, and burning incense day and night to worship the god Yama......]

[You can feel that the old man's faith is extremely firm, firm to the point of penetrating into the bone marrow, do you want to reveal to it the identity of the 'Yama Agent'? 】

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows, this grave keeper is very likely to have a special incident on him.

He pondered it and pressed the 'yes' option.

[You take out the 'Scythe of the Harvest of Amasui Rice', and the small sickle is covered with rust, but there are layers of flame-like lines left behind by the 'Canggu Tianyan' after it was unsealed by himself. 】

[You raise the 'Scythe of Harvest' to reveal your identity as the 'Yama Agent' to the grave keeper.] 】

['The ancient mound grave keeper who worships the fire' stared in disbelief, you...... You are the embodiment of the god Yama walking on earth! 】

[It trembled with excitement, stammered and couldn't speak, and could only keep bowing to you to show its inner piety. 】

[The grave keeper suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked, everyone in the world is rumored that the general is the 'Yama God Substitute', and you say that you are also ......]

[You shake your head and answer the previous doubts for it, the world doesn't know that there is an evil god who has descended into this world and secretly sowed evil seeds in the world, and the general has long since deviated from the belief of the god of Yama......]

[As a 'Yama Substitute' walking the world at the behest of Yama, the most important thing you have to do is to get rid of the oathbreakers...... Kill the General! 】

[It's just that you have just entered the human world, and your strength is far less powerful than that of the general, and if you want to complete the mission of the god of Yan, I am afraid that there is a long way to go......]

[The 'Ancient Tomb Keeper who worships fire' has never really seen the Great General, and the incarnation of the god Yama is passed down from mouth to mouth in the world. 】

[Now that you are holding the Yama token, you can't fake it with a pure and rich Yama aura, it naturally believes what you have seen with your own eyes. 】

[The tomb keeper knelt down again, and said with guilt on his face, "The god of Yama is above, Lord Acting One, it has been bewitched, and it is really stupid to regard the oath-breaker who deserves death as the incarnation of the god Yama! 】

[Now that the truth is known, it will surely help the Acting Agent wholeheartedly and get rid of the impostor-breaking oath-breaker!] 】

Lin Xun is happy.

Could it be that this tomb keeper is some kind of hidden boss, as unfathomable as a sweeping monk, but he has been hiding in the ancient mound in obscurity......

[You sent an invitation to the tomb keeper, and tomorrow night you will sneak into the palace, and it is very likely that you will meet the general, why don't you go with the tomb keeper? ] 】

[But seeing that the grave keeper said with guilt on his face again, Lord Acting Agent, it does not have much strength except for its own extremely pure beliefs, and it is not an opponent to meet a samurai at will......]

[In order to destroy the oath breaker, it is not afraid to give his life, but if he sneaks into the palace with the adult, it will not die, but if it is because it drags its feet and ruins the adult's plan, it is really a thousand deaths. 】

[You hear the words of the grave keeper and fall into a long silence. 】

"......" Lin Xun twitched the corners of his mouth.

You can't even beat a samurai and you're still bragging here, saying, 'Wholeheartedly help the Substitute Lord, and get rid of the impostor.'" ’

It's true that our beliefs are pious, but we can't just talk about it?

[When the grave keeper saw that you were disappointed, he blamed himself more and more, and his whole old face was wrinkled. 】

[Suddenly, it seemed to think of something, and hurriedly told you that its strength was low, and it only had pure faith, but it was this firm faith that could help you, my lord! 】

Lin Xun's face was full of black lines.

Moral support, huh?

Verbally or psychologically encourage the Acting Practitioner to be victorious?

[The grave keeper suddenly gets up, leads you to a mediocre tombstone, takes out three sticks of incense and lights it, and falls to the ground to prostrate and worship. 】

[Soon, an inexplicable aura emanated from the tombstone......]

[A powerful humanoid phantom appeared, this humanoid phantom was two people tall, with an unusually strong body, and a sharp double knife in his hand. 】

[You have discovered the 'Junior Divine War Heroic Spirit of Fire Worship'!] 】

[You can consume the power of your faith and drive the 'Divine War Heroic Spirit' to fight for you!] 】

[To drive a 'Junior Divine War Heroic Spirit' requires 100 points of Faith Power.] 】

[The grave keeper did not stop and continued to burn incense and worship the other tombstones......]

[A humanoid phantus appears from the void......]

[You have discovered the 'Intermediate Divine War Heroic Spirit of Fire Worship', and it takes 300 points of faith power to drive this Heroic Spirit......]

[You have discovered the 'Fire Worshipping High-level Divine War Heroic Spirit', and it takes 1,000 points of faith power to drive this heroic spirit......]

[You have discovered the 'Fire Worshipping God Warrior Heroic Spirit King', and it takes 3,000 points of faith power to drive the Heroic Spirit......]

[Current Power of Faith (Chaos Source Dragon) 2200.] 】

[Since you have successfully saved the 58 monsters of the Hoxiang Temple, they are sincerely grateful for your actions, erecting statues for you, burning incense and worshipping day and night, to show their devotion to the 'Chaos Source Dragon' and the gratitude of the 'descendants of the dragon god'......]

[Your Faith Power has been greatly increased, and the current Faith Power has been increased to 8000!] 】

[Since 'Canggu Tianyan' is currently your friendly oath faction, you can consume the power of faith belonging to the 'Chaos Source Dragon' side to drive the Divine War Heroic Spirit of the 'Canggu Tianyan' side to fight for you.] 】

[The grave keeper raised his head and told you that the cemetery of 'Fenghuo Ancient Mound' is sleeping with the souls of countless heroes who died in the divine war. 】

[As long as it worships the tombstone, it can awaken the heroic souls of these ancient warriors.] 】

[Its strength is too weak to help the Acting Great-Master fight, but the heroic souls of these warriors can!] 】

[For the sake of the 'Canggu Heavenly Yan', for the sake of you, the incarnation of the god of Yan, even if the soul is annihilated, these faithful believers will not hesitate!] 】

[The heroic spirits seemed to be able to hear the resounding words of the 'grave keeper', and they raised their weapons one after another, raising their heads to the sky and letting out a silent roar!] 】

Lin Xun bared his teeth for a while.

He already has the 'Longze Temple Demon Spirit Tablet', which can also consume the power of faith to summon helpers to fight.

"This should be the welfare of the 'Ancient Heavenly Yan' oath...... It's just that now that I've united the two sides of the Yama God and the Dragon God, I can open the exchange items that belong to the friendly oath. ”

"However, in the case of the 'Longze Temple Demon Spirit Tablet', the Heroic Spirit seems to be a little redundant."

[The grave keeper continued, Lord Agent, after it awakens the Heroic Spirit, it needs to consume the power of faith as fuel to transform the Heroic Spirit from an illusory soul into an entity in order to have actual combat capabilities. 】

[But even if it doesn't consume the power of faith, as long as it awakens a certain number of Heroic Spirits, the Heroic Spirits will emit a unique fluctuation, forming a 'Divine Domain Power' that covers the entire cemetery, enhancing the strength of all the Yama believers in the cemetery.] 】

[This 'divine power' can not only strengthen itself, but also weaken the enemy, according to the adult, the general has long become a broken oath......]

[If you can lure the general to the 'Fenghuo Ancient Mound' and fight here, I believe that the ancient mound will eventually become the burial place of the oath-breaker!] 】

Lin Xun was overjoyed.

He had already seen the 'power of the Divine Domain' in the shrine and the shrine, and within the scope of the Divine Domain, ordinary clergy would be strengthened to the strength of elite monsters.

If the 'Bonghuo Ancient Mound' can be used as the location of the final battle, the probability of defeating the Great Shogun will undoubtedly increase greatly.

[The Grave Keeper continues to burn incense to awaken the Heroic Spirits, and as the number of Heroic Spirits increases, you gradually perceive an inexplicable force gradually spreading......]

【……】

[You are blessed by the power of the 'Yama God Domain'! 】

[Within the scope of the Divine Domain, the strength of you and all the Yama believers will be greatly increased!] 】

[Since the 'Chaos Source Dragon' and 'Canggu Heavenly Yan' are friendly oath camps, here, all Dragon God believers will also receive the same strength increase!] 】

[You stopped the tired and sweaty head, but you still have to continue to wake up the grave keeper of the heroic spirit, and show that you are very grateful for its help. 】

[At that time, you will come to the ancient mound to inform it in advance to awaken the heroic spirit, and then lure the oath-breaker general here, kill it on the spot, and comfort the heroic spirits of the warriors!] 】

[The grave keeper will stop talking, but will bow to you again and again.] 】

[As the incense burns out, the phantoms of the heroic spirits also dissipate one after another, and continue to fall into a deep sleep......]

[You say goodbye to the grave keeper and leave the 'Fenghuo Ancient Mound'......]

Lin Xun left Kyoto and returned to the yokai's base camp 'Ryuzawaji'.

After completing the alliance with the 'Canggu Heavenly Yan', it is likely that a new plot will appear in the 'Longze Temple'.

The final battle with the Great General is coming, and with such a huge disparity in strength, he must use all the power at his disposal!

[Powerful geist awakens in the temple's guest house......]

[You are possessed by the shell of the 'Primordial Hermit of Knowledge'! 】

[You push open the door of the guest house and come to the courtyard. 】

[More than 50 little monsters have been newly added to the practice, filling the courtyard to the brim, and a group of little monsters are cultivating hard under the leadership of the 'Mighty Master Bull Ghost', striving to walk in the sun again one day. 】

[You walked into the courtyard, attracting a group of little monsters to bow down in gratitude. 】

[There are even a few bold little monsters who will take you to the main hall and let you admire the statue of the 'Descendants of the Dragon God' that they have worked so hard to shape.] 】

[In addition to the statue of the 'Chaos Source Dragon' in the main hall, a small statue of the 'Descendant of the Dragon God' has also been added.] 】

[The statue is also like the 'primordial hermit', but the carving skills of the little monsters are very poor, which makes the statue have an indescribable 'abstract beauty'. 】

['Majestic Master Cow Ghost' and 'Night Dog' looked at the statue, they all looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. 】

[In the main hall, the 'shipwreck mage' is praying for blessings to the statue, and when it sees you coming, it retreats from a group of small monsters watching the excitement and waves its hand to close the door of the main hall. 】

[You told the 'shipwreck mage' about your deeds in Kyoto......]

【……】

[The 'shipwreck mage' was shocked by the truth, and he was stunned for a long time before he sighed, but he didn't expect that everyone in the world was deceived and bewitched by the hidden evil gods, and he didn't even know that his own gods were in danger. 】

[I don't know that the ruler of the Sakura Fall Humans, the invincible general has long since deviated from his faith and become a lackey under the throne of the evil god......]

【The new gods ask the Dragonborn, you to find the surviving gods as helpers...... It's a pity that all the gods under the command of the dragon god fell in the god war, otherwise you can help the dragonborn lord to crusade against the general together. 】

[The 'shipwreck mage' suddenly thought of something in his sigh, and hurriedly told you about ......]

[Although the monster clan has fallen so far, they are hiding in the mountains and dare not show their faces, but the bloodline of some legendary big monsters is likely to still exist in the world. 】

[If you can find the bloodline of those legendary Great Youkai, it will undoubtedly increase the chance of defeating the Great General.] 】

Lin Xun suddenly remembered that the 'librarian' who was PUA by him had revealed.

The Imperial Palace contains books that record the battle of the gods, including clues about the three top youkai 'Wine Swallowing Boy', 'Nine-Tailed Fox' and 'Great Tengu'.

[The 'shipwreck mage' pondered for a moment, took out a quaint compass, bit his fingertip and dripped a drop of essence blood......]

[Then the compass blooms with dazzling brilliance, and the tiny hands on it spin rapidly.] 】

[The shipwreck mage handed you the compass......]

[You have obtained the 'Demon Seeking Compass Ritual' (item)]

['Demon Seeking Compass Ritual '(prop): A Demon Seeking Compass Artifact with the blood of the 'Shipwreck Mage'. This item can be used in a small area to point at the most powerful youkai clan in the vicinity. Even if a youkai uses some kind of hexology to cover its aura, it will be difficult to escape the search for magic weapons. 】

[Please note that this artifact is powered by the brainchild of the 'shipwrecked mage' and will be effective for up to seven days.] 】

[The 'shipwreck mage' solemnly tells you, Lord Dragonborn, the search range of this magic weapon is enough to search for the monsters on the mountain at the foot of the 'Longze Temple'. 】

[It is extremely deadly for the hidden monsters, so don't throw it away at will, so as not to fall into the hands of traitors. 】

[You took the magic weapon, and when you saw the pointer on the compass rotate a few times, you suddenly turned your head and pointed at you. 】

[You nodded and promised that if you can successfully kill the general, you will announce to the world as the 'Yama Substitute' and 'Descendant of the Dragon God', so that the world can clearly recognize who the real enemy is. 】

[Since then, youkai and humans will be able to fight against the evil gods together.] 】

[The monster clan can also leave the deep mountains and walk under the Langlang Qiankun!] 】

[The 'shipwreck mage' eyes glistened with tears, its lips trembled, and it didn't say anything, so it could only bow deeply to you, put its forehead to the ground, and make the most pious worship to you. 】
