.Two hundred and eighteen, thousands of ghosts are in trouble in Kyoto

Two hundred and eighteen, thousands of ghosts are in trouble in Kyoto

Countless black shadows of all sizes fly over the city, covering the sky and the sun, covering the streets and fields below in their shadows.

If this was a whizzing bomber group, it would probably make the soldiers huddled in the trenches look up all over, feeling scared and sad.

If this was an even more amazing group of giant dragons, the humble ants living on the ground would not even have the courage to look up, and they were frightened by the overwhelming dragon power, lying on the ground and trembling, unable to even stand up.

So, what if these are some notched bowls, old cabinets, rotten bamboo mats, painted furniture, rusty scissors, broken iron pots... and other domestic waste?

Well, I'm afraid it's only embarrassing for people to watch, and they'll be embarrassing until they can't be embarrassing for the orz state.

"...In other words, you are wandering around in the Onmyoji Door, and you have opened something, so you have turned this Kyoto into a ghost town?"

Riding on a flying broom hovering in the air and looking silently for a long time, Major General Feri Taylor landed back to the ground, and repeatedly looked at Hojo Shihiko and others who were kneeling in front of him and apologizing for a while. He didn't know whether to get angry or laugh.

There was no way, what he saw was so embarrassing and absurd that he was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to describe it.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Kyoto, which was once elegant and beautiful, has now become a jaw-dropping absurd ghost town.

With the Suzaku Avenue running through the city as the dividing line, the eastern half of Kyoto was covered by thick clouds and almost fell into darkness without seeing his fingers. However, the western half of the city was exposed to the absurd sun, even brighter than the wilderness in the suburbs. Countless strange monsters were flying all over the sky, most of which were daily necessities that had become spirits, but there were also many resentful spirits, strange birds and evil ghosts.

Among the neat neighbors in the shape of a chessboard, there is a ridiculous look of demons dancing around at this moment - some streets and towns become hot and hot lava flows out from the ground; some streets and towns are cold and frozen into a crystal clear iceberg

Some streets and towns became dead, houses decayed and collapsed, trees withered and shriveled, sand and dust swelled in the wind, only the blue and white vengeful spirits flying all over the sky were freely wandering in the air, squaring skeletons and zombies jumped and wandered around the ground;

Some streets and towns are full of vitality. All the houses, roads and bridges are flooded by thick green stems and leaves. The gorgeous flowers, white, red, blue, purple, or yellow, bloom in this winter when flowers should be withered. There are also grapes as big as balls, watermelons as big as buffaloes, lying quietly in this strange and colorful flowerbed, making people salivate.

There are various zombies, undeads, monsters and gods walking on every street and alley, most of whom are wearing strange ancient costumes. There are also some caravans with only bones, dragging the stormy cars, and the nobles and ladies in the cars who have already turned into skeletons, and slowly moving forward with difficulty.

In Horikawa, which flows through the most prosperous neighborhood of Kyoto, a gray-white monster similar to the shape of an octopus emerged from the water. This thing consists of countless rotten corpses, as high as five or six floors, but has an extremely funny cat face, which slowly moves along the river channel that looks very narrow relative to the body. Accompanied by a turbid black wave, the cat-faced octopus used tentacles to pull down the houses by the river from time to time, grab the living people, undead and demons hidden inside, and then throw them out boredly, occasionally making an unpleasant scream like a spoon scraping the bottom of a pot.

What's worse is that this terrifying change in the world also led to serious disorder in the magic network. In the palace located in the highlands of the north city, various messy magic energy surged violently from the ground in the form of colorful light, forming a series of violent shocking energy turbulences, like a tsunami, swallowing almost the entire city and even spreading to the distant suburbs.

Under such a strong energy tide, not only Feili, an alchemist, but also other military mages, priests and witches, were dizzy and dizzy as if seasick. The more tenacious people could barely support them. The weaker people walked like they were drifting, and even bent over and vomited... It also scared the culprits such as Hojo Shihiko and his face turned pale.

They all knew very well that the greater the trouble they caused, the more trouble they caused to the new boss, and their future would naturally become dimmer.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"...If you go back to the chief, I don't really understand what happened at that time..."

Hojo Shihiko said with a bitter face, and her expression could be crying. "...I just found a stone gate under the tatami of Yinyang Lao. I wanted to see what treasures or secret passages were hidden inside. Who knew that when I opened it, I saw that there were jars and jars with seals. My subordinates were all thick people from the Emi Island. I didn't have much patience to carefully distinguish them, so I smashed the jar with a mace..."

"... Then so many monsters ran out and turned the entire city into a ghost? Humph, look at the good things you did."

Feiri snorted with dissatisfaction, while Hojo Shihiko quickly nodded and hurriedly continued to talk.

"...Yes, it's all because of the reckless acts that caused a big disaster. It's really a sin that deserves death. Alas, if it weren't for the fact that the legs and feet were still quite straight and running in time, I'm afraid that it would have been fed to the demon's stomach at this moment. But even so, some brothers were accidentally damaged..."

But at this time, Feili had no intention of listening to his nagging, but walked straight to another tree to ask professionals in this field - more than 20 Onmyojis in the former Onmyoji in Kyoto. At this moment, all of them gathered here. The surrounding open space was filled with luggage, bags, cages, and the families and children of these Kyoto court professional charlatans.

In fact, on the night when they learned that Fushimi Castle fell, these Onmyojis made up their minds to change jobs, packed their luggage overnight and fled out of Kyoto, and came to join Emperor Kumazawa, who came to join the Eastern Army camp. Before leaving, they set up an illusion in the Onmyoji that could make noise for a long time, and used the charming technique to control the guards of the palace gate and used the obfuscation technique to modify the memories of these soldiers... Therefore, until the next morning, when Emperor Renko held a court meeting in Zichen Hall to discuss strategies to fight against the enemy, they still didn't know that these guys had abandoned themselves and slipped away.

But although they successfully escaped from Kyoto, there was a serious dispute over the next route of action. Several older adults, although they had already changed jobs, were still full of loyalty to the Emperor and serving the court. They insisted on going directly to Kamakura to meet the Emperor Kumazawa instead of bowing their heads to the Western ghosts who were close to them, thinking that this was too expensive.

However, most young Onmyoji, Yin and Yangsheng and their relatives felt very dissatisfied with the hypocritical practice of both being a child and setting up a archway, and firmly expressed their resistance - jokingly, Fushimi Castle is only twenty miles away from Kyoto, and people with faster legs can arrive in just half a day. However, Kamakura is separated from Kyoto by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the straight distance is above thousands of miles. These people are all from home and are slow to move, so it is afraid that it will be difficult to get the land in a month.

Now in a turbulent world, the road from Kyoto to Kamakura is extremely uneasy. Bandits, plagues, vengeful spirits, and monsters are rampant. Although the Onmyoji have some self-defense skills and can roughly protect themselves, it is difficult to protect the comprehensiveness of so many family members - just because a few old seniors can't stand it, they have to take such great risks... How can this be done?

Because it is related to wealth and life, the young Onmyoji and Yin-Yang students didn't care about etiquette and laws such as respecting the elderly and respecting the wise. They swept across the board of the old guys and argued with a few old guys. They blushed and quarreled all night long. Finally, they successfully made the minority obey the majority, and ran to the giant bear army camp outside Fushimi City, and revealed their identity to join the commander of the East Army Feili Taylor.

But the problem is that Feili just put them into the camp gate, and before she could interrogate them, she received bad news that the world and world changes broke out in Kyoto... so she had to bring these Onmyojis here together in case of consulting certain professional questions at any time.

Now, he stood in front of the Onmyoji in anger, staring with his round eyes, and shouted loudly: "...What does this Kyoto City look like now? You have seen what you buried under the Onmyoji Office? It is possible to create such a big mess, even the magic network is messed up."

To be honest, although Feili sighed a little about the strange big city in front of him, when it suddenly became a ghost realm, he was not angry - this place was neither his hometown nor his territory, nor anything he particularly wanted (in addition to the wealth that could be robbed), it would be ruined and could save the energy to send troops to attack.

But the problem is that seeing such a large number of magic networks be seriously damaged, it makes him a headache - as a voter of the magic goddess Mistera, even if he is just a candidate, he is born with the responsibility of maintaining the normal operation of the magic network. If he turns a blind eye or deals with it passively, he will be the greatest dereliction of duty to His Highness the Goddess.

However, with the power of mortals, if you want to repair the magic net, you can only use the silver fire given by the goddess... But Feili, the candidate who was a candidate, has not yet become a regular person and has never obtained silver fire at all. He can only look at this seemingly gorgeous but actually cruel strange phenomenon in the world, and he can only do anything.

In fact, even if he really has silver fire, he would probably have the will but lack the ability to put out such a large-scale change. Compared with the chaotic energy trend that covers the entire city, a small ball of silver fire is really like a drop in the bucket and a moth to the flame.

Therefore, Feili was naturally in a very angry mood at this time, her face was naturally bad, and her tone was naturally very thrilling.

Faced with the harsh questioning of the new boss as if thunderous, the Onmyoji and the Yin-Yang students were also trembling and uneasy. Several higher-ranking Onmyoji exchanged a few winks with bitter faces, and finally launched the oldest man and said to Feili with a smile.

"...This... Although I don't know which secret room the Essay barbarians have opened, as far as I know, there are many evil things from ancient times to the present, and many have been buried there since the beginning of the Ping'an Dynasty. Since there are many monsters in this Ping'anjing since ancient times, ghosts and monsters have emerged one after another, Onmyoji have been doing this kind of thing, and to this day, they have accumulated countless places.

The magic power of our junior Onmyoji is gradually declining, far less than that of our ancient ancestors. We are afraid of releasing some gods and demons that cannot be subdued, so we can only stay away from them and never dare to move around... So it is unknown how many monsters are buried under the Onmyoji Door..."

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

According to this old Onmyoji, the reason why Heian Kyo attracted so many monsters was because his own conditions were too superior.

When the site was first selected to build Heianjing, according to the geophysical conclusions drawn from the divination of Yin and Yang Dao, this city was the "holy land protected by the four gods". In the surrounding Heianjing, the towering Chuangang Mountain to the north, the turbulent Yachuan River to the east, the shimmering giant pond to the south, and the most important transportation line to the west, the Shanyang Road, just matched with the four gods Xuanwu, Qinglong, Vermillion Bird and White Tiger to pray for the protection of the gods.

Moreover, the city is located in the center of the country, with water and land transportation and abundant resources on the surrounding plains. Although it has defects in the terrain that is not conducive to defense, it is at least very suitable as a political center in peacetime.

Not only that, for Onmyoji, this is also a place where all four spiritual veins gather. After the clearance and guidance of several outstanding ancient Onmyoji, Heian Kyo has become the most abundant spiritual power in the country - Onmyoji lives here, which is equivalent to automatically obtaining the blessing of blessings. It is really twice the result with half the effort to practice spells. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a blessing in the cave.

But the problem is that as the saying goes, every man is innocent and possesses a treasure. Since these four spiritual veins gather in Heian Kyo, it is so attractive to spell casters like Onmyoji, it is naturally an extremely attractive place for many ghosts and gods who also desire spiritual energy. Therefore, since the capital was established, various ghosts and monsters have never stopped attacking Heian Kyo.

The Peaceful Dynasty at that time was an era where humans and monsters and gods lived in harmony. Eight millions of gods had not yet ascended to the Gaotianyuan, and various ancient evil spirits were still lurking in the wilderness. Therefore, only daytime belongs to humans, and nighttime is the world of monsters and gods. In that year, monsters, devils and gods were not very different.

In that era, when the sun sets and night falls, people have to close their doors and never go out. Not only are pedestrians cut off on the roads outside, but the streets in the city are also rare. At this time, there are usually only those strange and ferocious monsters, such as Snow Girl, Kappa, Fox Fairy, Two-tailed Cat, Cat Spirit, and Roller Head (the kind that is the kind that is no different from ordinary people, but the neck can stretch out long and beautiful like a well rope on the Roller.

Banshee), Nojifang (the temple host who was corrupted by the incense, the demon who became a demon after death in anger) and so on. They lined up and walked through the streets like a temple fair, mixed with many broken teapots, broken pots, etc. in the middle, and became old objects. Following the footsteps of monsters, parade in groups on the streets at night. It is said that those who witnessed it with their own eyes will be cursed and die for no reason - this is the legendary "Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts".

At that time, even a top-notch city like Kyoto would have become empty when night falls, like a ghost realm. If someone is anxious to rush to the night, he will not only be hurt by harmless ghosts. Because of the abundant spiritual energy here, all the little monsters that are difficult to survive in other places will come to Heianjing to gather together, and only dozens of Onmyoji can't drive them away. Therefore, for those little monsters who are harmless, they can only let them go - or

Outside a quiet palace, under the bridge, in front of the city gate, in the abandoned house, you will see those singers who died of depression, ministers who died of exile, resentful women who committed suicide by being abandoned by a lover, vendors who went bankrupt by their partners... and other ghosts of all kinds are floating uneasy - there is no way. Since the city's spiritual veins are so full and the spiritual energy is so abundant, the threshold for Onmyoji to practice and achieve enlightenment is very low, then the threshold for ghosts to become spirits is naturally also very low...

The early Pean Dynasty was an era in which people and ghosts, yin and yang lived in a mixed world. Peanjing in the daytime was the capital of mankind, while Peanjing in the night was the capital of monsters. This strange situation in which people and ghosts lived together in the same city was naturally very abnormal.

To this end, the court at that time vigorously introduced and promoted Buddhism, welcomed Western monks, and thus obtained many Buddhist supernatural powers to subdue demons and exorcises. Then, the temple was built widely, and countless monks and demon-retired masters were cultivated. In addition, the rise of Onmyoji represented by Ampe Seimei, as well as the large-scale rise of Shinto and shrines, a large number of ghosts and monsters that filled the world were gradually eliminated and suppressed, ending the absurd era of the man living in ghosts and not distinguishing between immortals and mortals.

During this process, many monsters who were once domineering in this island country and were famous for their children crying at night were attacked by the eminent monks and Onmyoji, and were defeated and sealed one after another, and buried in secret rooms underground in Kyoto.

In order to make peace and tranquility in the future, the court, which was already scared by the craze of monsters, simply ordered the Onmyoji to seal the spiritual veins of the city. While destroying the source of the yin* monster, the Yin-Yang Technique gradually declined... But the problem is that these monsters were only sealed, but not destroyed. What was even more unexpected was that there would be a group of Soyuz barbarians who took advantage of the Onmyoji to collectively break into the secret room of the Onmyoji and smashed it up, and released countless monsters to go out and cause trouble, which stimulated the long-suppressed spiritual veins in Kyoto City, causing a vigorous and complete outbreak - so all the monsters and ghosts were released...

... In this way, the old Onmyoji slowly taught Feili a brief history class on Onmyoji, and finally explained the causes and consequences of this Kyoto mutation. However, he unexpectedly caught one of the key loopholes by the other party:

"...Wait, since you say that the monsters that are now running out are all captives captured and defeated by ancient Onmyoji, why didn't they be eliminated directly when they were attacking the monsters, but instead sealed them with mercy?

OK, if you say seal, just seal it, then why not seal the monster in a wilderness where birds do not shit, or a more distant overseas island, but it is directly buried in Kyoto where the court and officials are located, and even in the Onmyoji Office and private residence at your feet..."

Feili looked up at the strange celestial phenomenon of dark clouds and scorching sun above Kyoto in the distance, and sandstorms and thunderstorms swept together. He asked the old Onmyoji in confusion: "...Isn't this equivalent to burying a lot of time bombs for future generations at home? You can't be so lazy. Could it be that the ancient Onmyoji were so arrogant that he didn't even want to leave the capital to do something?"

"...Well...this is...for various reasons..."
