Chapter 20: The White Fox
In the secret room of the Abe family.
An evil and behaving young man was sitting on a tatami mat and drinking something with a utensil, and there was no light in the secret room, and a few blue ghost fires were floating on his side, and his face was even more strange.
The man held the vessel with his bleeding ghost hand, drank all the contents of it, and casually brushed the silver hair in his mouth, letting out a sound of satisfaction, "Hiccup~ It's still fresh and delicious." ”
He shook the vessel slightly, his armor rattling.
At this moment, a man wearing an ugly mask and wings on his back pushed the door and knelt on one knee, "Chief, here they are!"
The person who came was none other than the Great Tengu.
The Great Tengu glanced at it and saw that the two men on the ground were pale in complexion, each with a terrifying look on their faces, and their bodies twitched twice from time to time, looking extremely painful.
Suddenly, a dark blue ghost fire floated in front of the man, illuminating the scenery around him. When the big tengu looked closely, the vessel in the man's hand was actually a gold-plated wine cup made of a head.
The man was immersed in the sweetness of blood, and said extremely soothingly: "Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, it is said that fine wine needs a good cup to drink beautifully, what do you think of my cup?"
The Great Tengu was originally Emperor Chongtoku, and there were countless treasures in the Imperial Palace, but such objects were unheard of, and he replied, "I don't see whether it is good or bad, so please let the chief know." ”
"Have you ever heard of the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, Oda Nobunaga?"
The Great Tengu was shocked, "This head is actually his?"
The man boasted, "No, but this cup was made by him, from the head of his sister-in-law, Asai Nagamasa." If the blood of the inner disciples of the Abe family is not served in a specially ordered cup, how can it reflect the deliciousness?"
As he spoke, the two men on the ground twitched a few times, and their legs stretched out and they were scared to death.
The man sneered: "The inner disciples of the Abe family are just timid, and I was afraid that I would kill someone, so I called the two of them." I didn't expect them to be scared to death, it's a wretch!"
The monster who can be arrogant enough to drink the blood of the onmyoji at the inner door of the Abe family, who is in the business of eliminating demons, has no one else in the world except the Ibaraki boy.
The Ibaraki boy waved his hand and said, "Get up, don't be sad." It's just two lives, what's the point?"
"Yes, the person you made me stare at with the Snow Maiden has entered the 'Forest of Blood Mist'. ”
"Oh, it seems that Abe Xiaosan didn't lie to me, you go and let the Snow Girl keep an eye on it, don't let them quit. ”
The Great Tengu asked, "Do you need the two of us to do anything, I'm afraid they won't survive in the 'Forest of Blood Mist'." ”
The Ibaraki boy laughed, "Emperor Chongde loves the people like a son." Don't worry, they won't die, and you'll be nosy. ”
"Yes. After speaking, he pushed the door and left, and happened to collide with a man in white.
The man in white was furious, and his face was extremely ugly.
The Great Tengu bowed his head very gracefully, and flapped his wings and flew away.
As soon as the man entered the secret room, he saw two corpses lying on the ground, which were the people he had been looking for for a long time, and shouted: "You monsters, you are too presumptuous!
The Ibaraki boy squinted at him with red eyes, and said nonchalantly, "It's just two dogs, and it's worth calling you like that?"
The man clasped his hands, held back his anger, and said in a trembling voice: "Human life is at stake, besides, these two are extremely good disciples of my inner sect, how can they be said to be two dogs?"
"Can be scared to death to call an excellent disciple? I can't even catch a punch, isn't it a dog? ”
"You ......"
The Ibaraki boy didn't care about him, and played with the wine glass in his hand.
The man was angry for a long time, and finally endured it and asked, "Father-in-Majesty wants me to ask you how Kojiro Sasaki should be seduced, and please get an idea as soon as possible!"
The Ibaraki boy stretched his waist and lay on the tatami, not even bothering to move his eyes, "Wait for him to come, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?"
"Don't you want his five internal organs?! I'll lead someone to kill him secretly. ”
The Ibaraki boy said with disdain on his face: "Just you, a dog-like thing killed him?"
"What did you say?!"
"You hear me clearly, why should I say more?"
This person is the eldest son of Abe Junior, the next head of the Abe family, and the next great onmyoji of Yinyangliao, Abe is happy.
He has been extremely talented since he was a child, and he has worked hard, which is the hope of the entire Abe family. He has always taken it as his mission to eliminate demons, and if it weren't for Xiao San's order to him, he would not have been willing to fall into contact with the Ibaraki boy.
He was supposed to treat each other politely, but the Ibaraki boy was too arrogant, first killed his two disciples and then insulted him, how could he be a good man and let the monsters do nonsense?!
A pair of fox eyes erupted with anger, his mouth recited silently, and the incantation was chanted, and in an instant, an extremely solemn and simple aura spread, and after a burst of white smoke, the seven gods each emitted a golden light.
The Ibaraki boy looked at him playfully, and was a little happy, "Not bad, good luck, greedy wolf, giant gate, Lucun, Wenqu, Lian Zhen, Wuqu, broken army, such a big battle, do you want to compare with me?"
"My Abe family has been subduing demons and eliminating demons for generations, and today I will use this Big Dipper Seven Star Array to kill you, and Ibaraki Boy will be killed!"
The Seven Great Gods were so coercive, and the entire secret room trembled slightly when his body shook in a flash.
The Ibaraki boy didn't look at it, and kept playing with the wine glass. When the Seven Great Gods got closer, they stretched out a fist and slashed through the air, and they were wiped out in a blink of an eye.
Abe looked at him in disbelief, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
The Ibaraki boy shook his body, took the blood from his wine glass, and drank it with a "gurgling".
"You!?"
"What are you seeing? haven't you seen it? Hiccup~ The bloodline of the Abe family is really delicious. I've heard that your Onmyoji has a blood connection with Shikigami, and today I saw that the rumors are true. ”
The Ibaraki boy enjoyed it very much, carefully savoring the remaining taste in his mouth, and his eyes were fixed on Taki's body, intentionally or unintentionally.
Suddenly, his eyes were greedy, he licked his lips and said, "The bloodline is really endless, you can give me some more." ”
As soon as the words fell, the red hand stretched out and grabbed at Taxi's head.
At this moment, someone stretched out two fingers against the palm of the red hand, and with a "pop", the strength of the confrontation shook the secret room a few times.
Duoxi raised his eyes, but saw that the person who came was tall, with one hand on his back, and a majestic bearing. He cried out with joy in his heart, "Father!"
The person who came was Abe Xiaosan, and he was full of embarrassment and shouted: "What are you still standing here!"
"Yes...... He ......"
Abe Xiaosan said angrily: "Go down!"
Duoxi wanted to say more, but seeing that Xiao San's face was very stern, he bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes." ”
Abe said: "Is the leader still satisfied?"
"Satisfied with what?"
Abe's voice was low, "The blood of my Abe family!"
Although Ibaraki Boy was not afraid of him, he also knew that Abe Xiaosan's skills were very powerful, so his tone was very angry, and he was arrogant, "Why take it seriously if you're joking, don't be angry." ”
Abe Kozo asked coldly, "Kojiro Sasaki is coming soon, when are you going to deal with it?"
"Don't hurry, wait?"
"Wait, do you know that he is from the Takeda family, if my Abe family dies, how can I explain it to Shin Xuangong?"
The Ibaraki boy smiled and said, "What do you explain? What is the use of asking him to be a mortal? What I want is the five organs of the ghost god that he fell into Shura!"
"Reduced to a ghost ??!" Even if Abe Xiaosan has always been calm, he couldn't help but be shocked by this remark.
"Yes, I want him to change from a human to a ghost. You help me design it, and then he will become a ghost and god, and it is only natural that your Abe family is making a move, even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Takeda Shingen ask, what are you afraid of?"
Abe asked, "How can he become a ghost and god as a good person?"
The Ibaraki boy smiled and looked at him with contempt in those red eyes.
As long as he lets everyone rebel and leave, he will inevitably become obsessed when he begs for heaven and earth and does not want to be spiritual. At that time, wouldn't it be logical to fall into Shura and become a ghost god?"
Abe Xiaosan pondered, "This monster is quite human, it's really difficult to deal with, I need to find a way to contain him." ”
He spoke, "How can I trust you to help me clear the obstacles above the hegemony. ”
"You don't believe me?!Do you question my strength?"
The Ibaraki boy's demonic power burst out, rolling up gusts of wind, and with the strength of the junior, he was suffocated by such a coercive breath.
Abe Xiaosan resisted the strong wind and breathed a strong sigh, and he also burst out with a simple and powerful spiritual power, and the confrontation between the two parties actually shattered the bluestone on the ground.
As soon as the two confronted each other, they knew that each other was pounding and two, and they each laughed and received their magical powers.
"The Abe family really lives up to its name, and it can be admired and admired. ”
"The boy is powerful, and I admire him very much. It's just ......"
The Ibaraki boy squinted, "But what?!"
"It's just that the strength of you and me is still in the middle of the middle, and some of the generals under the various daimyo are invincible to me, so you dare to say that the world is leveled?"
"Hahahaha, I save five or six of my strength to save my eldest brother, if I save my eldest brother and we join forces, will it be difficult to level the world?"
The Ibaraki boy smiled, smiling very heartily, and he had no scruples to tell the loss of his strength, and he also showed a little sincerity.
Abe nodded and said, "Yes, there is no doubt about the strength of the wine swallowing boy." But how can I trust you to help me?"
"You're asking me for a token?"
"Yes, I still have a son to be a hostage in the Toyotomi family, how can you be red-mouthed and white-toothed?"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi chose one of the nobles to stay in Nijo Castle, so that the families would not dare to rebel. Now Abe Xiaosan also learns from Hideyoshi, and asks the Ibaraki boy to leave him a fateful thing.
Of course, the Ibaraki boy knew what he meant, and after a little thought, he said, "To show his sincerity, I will give you the head of the wine-swallowing boy for safekeeping." However, you have to remember that if my eldest brother is missing a hair from his head, I will personally lead the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk' to level your Abe's house!"
Abe laughed, "Happy! But you don't have to be presumptuous, my Abe family is not easy to mess with, you want to drink blood to arrest people yourself. If you dare to touch my Abe family again, I'll let you walk and see!"
After that, he flicked his long sleeves and went out of the secret room.
Inside the 'Forest of Blood Mist'.
Kojiro stopped everyone, pointed to the road behind him, and said, "Look, what is this?"
Yui was overwhelmed by the dense woods, and said angrily, "Look at everything, it's all trees, what's strange." ”
"No, look, there's blood under the tree. ”
After he mentioned Sun Sheng, he immediately knew that the situation was not good, and suddenly turned his head to take a look, and there was a bloody road flowing like a stream on the way here.
If you look closely, the blood is flowing out of the hole where the tree was cut down by Kojiro.
Yui thought to herself, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and you can't stay here." ”
She said, "Let's stop, I think this place is a little weird, let's quit first and do something." ”
Everyone thought for a moment, immediately turned around and left.
But I didn't take a few steps, and suddenly the snow was all over the sky, the cold wind was fierce, and the towering trees were slanted and slanted.
The wind and snow are approaching step by step, and they are once close to everyone.
Kojiro's heart tightened, and he thought, "What kind of weather is this, there will be two kinds of weather in the same place." ”
Qin Yao approached Kojiro and said, "Childe, I'm afraid there are monsters here." ”
Yui said: "It shouldn't be, how can there be a monster in front of their Abe's house, doesn't this smash their own signboard." I think it's a ban set by their onmyoji. ”
She shouted with all her might: "Master Onmyoji, we have come here to inquire about something on the order of Xuan Gong, please accept the supernatural powers." ”
She shouted several times in succession, only to see that the wind and snow were getting closer and closer without the slightest sign of stopping, and she wondered, "Isn't it the ghost of the Abe family?"
She couldn't see the reason for her own limited knowledge, so she asked everyone, "Can you see what the door is?"
Sun Sheng thought for a while, "I've only heard that there are occasional spirits in the night, which will make passers-by form a 'visual obstacle', commonly known as 'ghosts hitting the wall'." Could it be that this wind and snow is 'seeing the obscurity'?"
Kojiro asked, "What do you mean by 'intellectual impairment'?" ”
It's a Buddhist way of saying that people are blinded by the appearance of things and ignore the inside. Later, people called the illusions used by spirits to disturb reality 'visual impairment'. ”
"You know so much at such a young age! So this blizzard is an illusion?"
Sun Sheng scratched his head and replied: "I'm not sure, it's just my speculation, but high-end illusions will make people feel immersive, and there is no way to eliminate them without cracking them." ”
Kojiro drew his sword out of its sheath and said loudly, "I'll go out to explore the way, you guys are waiting here!"
"Childe, you're most afraid of the cold, so let's go to someone else. Qin Yao couldn't help but worry when she saw Kojiro volunteering.
Jian Shizang patted his chest and said, "I'll go, I'm strong and not afraid of the cold." ”
One of them is infatuated and the other is brave, and they are both thinking about others, and Kojiro's heart is very moved.
But he knew that he was the most useless person here, and if he really encountered any accidents, although he could resist for a while, he would inevitably hold others back in the end.
Everyone thought about him so much, he also wanted to do something for everyone, and said in his heart: "It's okay, let's not go far, I'll go along the way I came, and if I can go out, I'll come back to take you." ”
Jian Shizang knew that he was arrogant and didn't say much, so he handed him the compass, "You take this with you, so as not to find the way." ”
On the treetops, the Snow Maiden looked at them from a distance, listened to them with great interest, and couldn't help laughing in her heart, "I'm not a little monster, what kind of 'seeing and knowing' is playing." These are genuine ice and snow, condensed by my demonic power. It looks like this handsome beautiful man is going to be frozen into a popsicle by me. ”
Kojiro held the 'ghost blade' and walked outside little by little, but he felt that the wind and snow were getting tighter and tighter, and his face hurt like a knife, and he could barely open his eyes.
He walked for an unknown amount of time, his eyes wide against the wind, and he suddenly realized that he was lost.
"I haven't gone far in total, how can I get lost, how is this good, it seems that it is really a monster, look at me if I don't cut you!"
After thinking about it, he pulled out the 'ghost blade' and left a mark on the tree, took out the compass and continued to move forward.
As he walked farther and farther, the cold had already swept him through, his upper and lower teeth clucked, his hands were stiff and covered with layers of frost, and his eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with a thick layer of ice.
Fortunately, this time he faced the compass and finally reached the border of the forest...... He struggled to keep his eyes open, which were already about to freeze, and his mood fluctuated.
Magnificent, majestic, magnificent, dwarfed by all the words in the world to describe such a scene.
The ice wall that reaches through the sky rises from the ground, like a huge barrier between heaven and earth, and the ice wall is boundless and endless to the sky.
When Kojiro saw this magnificent scenery, he felt as if he was standing like such an ice wall, overlooking all living beings.
The emotion was followed by a deep despair, and he was now too cold to stand up, and he no longer had the strength to walk back.
"Is that just dead?" he asked, trembling in his heart.
He was desperate and had no way to go back. In desperation, he could only sit under the ice wall with the 'ghost blade'.
The 'Ghost Blade' was so sharp that it inadvertently cut through the palm of the hand, and at this moment, the 'Ghost Blade' absorbed the blood, becoming red all over the body, and the blood flowed to the 'Ghost Blade' and then flowed back to the body, bringing bursts of heat, and the frost condensed on the hand melted instantly.
After a few reciprocations, Kojiro's body was no longer as cold as Fang Cai's washed by the warm current, and he relieved himself for a while, and forced his body to walk towards Yui and the others.
What he didn't expect was that he had just taken a few steps when the blood flowing from the tree rushed towards him as if it had come to life.
The blood was boiling like a heat wave, and Kojiro's body was not warm, and the meridians of his body almost exploded after the heat wave, and he fell on the spot.
Looking at the hot blood rolling in front of him, his mood fell to the bottom again.
Keeping an eye on the movement, the Great Tengu flapped his wings and asked, "Snow Maiden, you've gone too far." The leader said he wanted to spare his life, so why did you want to kill her?"
The Snow Girl also panicked, and said, "I only built the wind and snow ice wall, and I didn't build this hot blood, and I won't." ”
"Not you?"
"It's not me!"
"Could it be ...... 'Forest of Blood Mist', is he going to kill this person? When he finished speaking, his wings flickered, and he fell from the sky like a great bird.
He was just about to fly away when he suddenly stopped, and the Snow Maiden said, "Go, he's dying!"
"Wait, what do you think that's that?"
The Snow Maiden looked in the direction of his finger and saw a half-transparent white fox standing on Kojiro's shoulder, staring at a pair of fox eyes, struggling to slash and split the blood.
