Chapter 41: Ibuki Boy
It has been said that people who are too close to the darkness will sooner or later shake their beliefs because they are exposed to too much darkness.
Ibuki once thought that this was just the extreme remarks of the desperate, he listened to the wails of many resentful spirits, accepted too much despair, and witnessed the ugly things done by countless human beings under his protection, but at that time he was always able to chant the Buddha's name calmly.
But now, Ibuki suddenly finds himself seemingly shaken literally.
Lying quietly, he suddenly remembered a village where he and his teacher had been, and there was a youkai living around that village, and the villagers worshipped the youkai as a god in order for themselves to survive safely, and every once in a while, they would choose someone to "sacrifice themselves" to serve the "gods".
Again and again "sacrifices", a corpse of bones, accumulated over time, and finally piled up a ghost thing, the ghost thing took away an unborn fetus, stayed in the mother's womb for sixteen months before being born, the villagers began to be uneasy, they did not hesitate to let the ghost boy "sacrifice himself", they let him serve the "gods".
But what the villagers didn't expect was that the ghost boy killed the "god" they worshipped, lost the protection of the "god", and the evil things around him lost their restraint, and they began to harass the village.
The villagers want to make the Ghost Boy the new "god", but the Ghost Boy flatly refuses, and summons more evil creatures.
At this time, the villagers were finally frightened, but none of them felt that it was a sin of their own making, and all they thought of was to ask the witch and the monk to destroy the ghost boy.
How ridiculous, but the fact is that there are always some people in the world who cry in front of outsiders how pitiful, sad, and desperate they are, but when they face those who are weaker than themselves and those who are sacrificed, they are so at ease, without the slightest guilt, without the slightest repentance, stepping on their bones, and walking on the road paved by their blood and tears.
Once these victims want to refuse or resist, they will stand on the moral high ground and accuse him, eager to put all the faults on his head, as if in this way, they can erase what they have done and continue to live with peace of mind.
Faced with the cries and pleadings of the villagers who were kneeling on the ground, Ibuki remembered that his teacher sighed at first, and seemed to hesitate, but in the end his teacher took Ibuki to find the ghost boy.
It's a pity that Ibuki's teacher failed, the power of the ghost boy comes from resentment and depravity, he can communicate with the underworld, and the resentment accumulated around the village is too strong, in the case of little difference in strength, the ghost boy who occupies the location and the people are seriously injured, or defeated Ibuki's teacher.
Strangely, instead of killing Ibuki and his teacher, the Oni Boy destroyed the village in front of them.
When the village, which had been relatively peaceful, turned into ruins, the ghost boy suddenly said to him, "O noble son of God, the gods and the Buddha cannot hear everyone's prayers... Or maybe they can't fulfill everyone's wishes... So you can't save everyone, not even any of you... And the ugliness of human beings is beyond your imagination... One day, you will be like me, because of the ugliness of human beings, you will fall into despair, turn into a ghost, and ask for your life like a man......"
"Can't anyone save it?" a strong negative aura filled Ibuki's mind, and the clear aura on his body became cloudy, and the resentment condensed in the earth converged.
Li Haocheng, who had already arrived, hid his figure, escaped into the gap between yin and yang, avoided the guardian barrier in the courtyard, looked at the little monk lying on the tatami mat, felt the tumbling breath in his body, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
From the moment he set foot on the land of Fusang, Li Haocheng found that Fusang's heaven and earth vitality was quite different from that of the Central Plains.
The strongest one comes from the netherworld, and this breath is somewhat similar to the mud of the netherworld, containing countless negative energies, yin, cruel, tyrannical, and resentful...... Tangled together, forming a strange aura between evil qi, demonic energy, and demonic energy, this breath can be mixed with the negative emotions in people's hearts, making extreme people more extreme, and this breath will erode people's physique and spirit to a certain level, and it will make people change.
The second breath also comes from the netherworld, this breath seems to be chaotic, but it is actually very clear, with a bit of divine power, similar to the diluted divine power, and the first breath is mutually restrained and affects each other.
The last breath was very thin, similar to the power of wishes, even if Li Haocheng did not have the blessing of the jade rune Qingguang, it was difficult to detect its existence.
At this moment, these three breaths hidden in the vitality of heaven and earth were all attracted by this little monk.
With the change of the little monk's mood, the turbidity of the yin world continued to integrate into his body, making him more extreme, and attracting more turbidity to converge.
Interestingly, along the way, the diluted divine power that has been-for-tat with the turbidity of the underworld not only did not stop the erosion of the turbidity of the little monk, but suppressed the thin divine power in the little monk's body, and cooperated with the turbidity of the underworld to push the little monk into the abyss.
The last diluted wish power also seemed to be subject to some kind of traction, and began to converge on the little monk, transforming him in a certain direction.
Yin Qi and turbidity fill the heavens and the earth, so there are many ghosts and ghosts in Fusang, and at the same time, all kinds of living beings continue to have Yin Qi in their bodies more or less, once their emotions are out of control or they are full of resentment, they will go further and further, and finally fall into the Demon Dao. And this diluted divine power should be released by Fusang Shinto, which is used to suppress turbidity, thanks to Fusang, and naturally obtains Fuso's luck, as for that wishing power?
The jade talisman Qingguang changed, improving Li Haocheng's spiritual sense and thinking, countless scattered information were connected to each other, and he vaguely grasped one of the foundations of Fusang Shinto, but he couldn't understand it, looking at the little monk, Li Haocheng suddenly thought of something.
As soon as his mind moved, a little moonlight appeared, and the wisps of moonlight fell on the little monk Ibuki, and the breath of the pure saint filled his body, instantly expelling most of the turbid qi accumulated in his body, stabilizing his mind, making him fall into a stupor, and at the same time refining a trace of divine power flowing in his body.
The divine power is red, and there is a golden thread hidden in the middle, and the mind is immersed in it, which is to feel the meaning of emerald green, as if a mountain towers between heaven and earth.
No, this divine power is lacking, it seems that something is missing?
Li Haocheng frowned, and was about to investigate it carefully, but he felt two divine powers descending, and his mind moved and disappeared into the gap between yin and yang.
A crimson flame of light rose from the ground, and two goddesses appeared beside the little monk.
"Ibuki boy, are you alright?" a young goddess wearing twelve single clothes with a sad face appeared beside the little monk, looking at the little monk with concern.
