Chapter 287: The Hidden History

"Mr. Lin, I will write down all the information I know here." As he spoke, Abe Akihiko handed a piece of straw paper to Lin Zhen.

Taking the straw paper, Lin Zhen frowned slightly and began to read it carefully.

Seeing the neat regular script fonts on the papyrus paper, Lin Zhen's eyes moved slightly. He never expected that Abe Akihiko, a Japanese, not only spoke Chinese fluently, but also wrote Chinese characters so neatly.

"Tengu: He is more than nine feet tall and has infinite strength. He was transformed by a monk with evil intentions. He holds a fan that can summon the wind. He carries a tachi at his waist and has excellent swordsmanship."

"Inugami: with the head of a dog and human body, it can transform into nothingness and can transmit epidemic diseases."

"Rimei: long hair covering the body, mouth as wide as the ears, skilled in witchcraft and sorcery, mysterious and unpredictable."

This is the only information on the papyrus. The so-called "ghosts and gods" recorded on it are indeed monsters in the local legends of Japan. However, these monsters are also recorded in "Xiegui Jinggui Zhi".

The description is basically consistent with the information written by Abe Akihiko.

Lin Zhen was a little happy, but also a little worried.

Although these three kinds of monsters, except for the ramie, the Tengu and the Inugami are all transformed from ghosts, they are not ghosts, but are classified as monsters.

Their situation is basically the same as that of "demonized" ghosts.

Lin Zhenke still remembered that not long ago, he was suppressed by the "nightmare" after being "demonized".

If Chen Yue hadn't been strong-willed and helped him, he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat that "nightmare".

The strength of the "demonized" ghost can be seen from this.

Although Lin Zhen didn't think that Abe Akihiko was stronger than him, judging from his changeable methods in the previous brief encounters, even if he was weak, he would not be much weaker than himself.

Since Abe Akihiko cannot defeat those three monsters, that means their strength cannot be underestimated.

This is what Lin Zhen is worried about.

However, rather than worrying, what made Lin Zhen happy was precisely because of this.

By killing monsters and absorbing their power, the benefits you can get are greater than ordinary ghosts.

Lin Zhen is not afraid of challenges. On the contrary, the more powerful the enemy, the more capable he is of stimulating his fighting spirit.

And now that his strength has improved, Lin Zhen also wants to find some equally matched opponents to stretch his muscles and see how much stronger he is than before.

"Are these three monsters the only ones?" Lin Zhen looked at Abe Akihiko and asked.

Abe Akihiko looked serious, shook his head and said: "To be honest, I don't know..."

"I went to the ancestral home three days ago, where I encountered these three monsters and had a battle with them."

"The result is that because of my lack of strength, I can only choose to avoid its edge..."

"After that, I sent shikigami to monitor the situation nearby, and the news I got was that the three of them had used my ancestor's former residence as a nest..."

Speaking of this, Abe Akihiko sighed helplessly: "It's all because my shoulders are not broad enough that I can't even protect the former residence of my ancestors..."

Lin Zhen frowned slightly, thought silently for a moment, and said, "In other words, these three monsters may not be the only ones entrenched there..."

"You have fought against these three monsters. Do you think that with my strength, I can defeat them completely?"

Lin Zhen looked at Abe Akihiko and asked.

Abe Akihiko spread his hands: "Mr. Lin, I don't know your true strength, do you?"

"But judging from your previous battles with me, I think you can defeat them."

Lin Zhen nodded slightly, Abe Akihiko was telling the truth, he indeed did not know his true strength.

"Without further ado, let's get ready and let's set off." Lin Zhen said.

The reason why we choose to set off now is because once the sun sets, the monster's strength will increase, which will increase the risk for them.

Abe Akihiko nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get ready right away!"

After Abe Akihiko left, Lin Zhen also stood up and stretched his muscles, put the hood of his cloak back on, and then walked to the front yard.

Within a moment, Abe Akihiko completed his preparations, came to Lin Zhen's side, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, we can set off."

Lin Zhen casually looked at Abe Akihiko and found that there was almost no change compared to before.

I don’t know what he has prepared... Lin Zhen secretly wondered.

Could this guy be like me, hiding magic weapons, charms and other items in his clothes?

Although curious, Lin Zhen remained calm and allowed Abe Akihiko to lead the way.

The "ancestral home" mentioned by Abe Akihiko is not too far from where he lives, but it is not close either.

Lin Zhen followed him over the mountain where he was, and after walking for about an hour and a half, the hairs all over Lin Zhen's body suddenly stood up.

An extremely strong demonic aura filled the air from the dense forest ahead.

At this time, even if Abe Akihiko didn't say anything, Lin Zhen knew that their destination was not far ahead.

Abe Akihiko came closer to Lin Zhen and lowered his voice and said: "The ancestor's former residence is in the bamboo forest not far ahead. We must be careful. The witchcraft mastered by Ramie is very strange and can create hallucinations...",

Lin Zhen nodded slightly, but didn't say anything, but he cursed in his heart: Aren't you also a master of creating illusions...

Lin Zhen took out the "Pluto Iron" kitchen knife and was about to move forward when he saw Abe Akihiko put his right hand into his arms and then took out a stack of small figures made of white paper.

These "little paper figures" are almost the same as the "little paper figures" used by Abe Akihiko to summon the three evil ghosts when he dealt with himself.

If there is a difference, it would be that each "little paper figure" has different runes painted on it...

Abe Akihiko recited the incantation in a low voice, and then threw the "little paper man" in his hand casually.

Those "little paper figures" were scattered on the ground, and in a burst of clouds and mist, they turned into a dozen monsters of different shapes.

These are all Abe Akihiko's "Shikigami".

It is undeniable that this method of "Onmyoji" is indeed unpredictable, and even Lin Zhen finds it very novel.

The method of forming an army by drawing paper and planting beans by spreading beans, let alone its practicality, the combat effectiveness of the summoned "Shikigami", just in terms of visual effects, it is definitely impressive.

At this time, Lin Zhen couldn't help but think to himself: Since Abe Akihiko said that the origin of "Onmyoji" is our Yin and Yang lineage, does it mean that we also have similar techniques, but the master didn't teach them to me?

Also, why doesn’t Master acknowledge the connection between “Onmyoji” and us?
