The "battle between Oeyama and humanity" mentioned by the lamp-carrying monk should refer to the battle between Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Oeyama's crusade.
Therefore, it can be basically concluded that the legendary war between humans and ghosts should be real.
According to what the Countermeasures Room said, during the Heian Period when the power of the great power was active, Japan was an era of symbiosis between humans and ghosts.
It is speculated that the stage where humans and ghosts are active is in this world, or perhaps the current world and the eternal world are not as distinct as they are now. In that era, the two worlds may have a more convenient way to communicate with each other.
It was probably precisely because the existence of Dajiangshan in the present world endangered Kyoto in the human world at that time that the conflict broke out with the Minamoto family, which was guarding the human side.
After talking to the lamp-carrying monk, Kamiyagawa repeated his old tricks and continued to use soul crystals to throw stones to ask for directions, and asked several strange stories in the city that seemed to be relatively tame.
The information obtained is almost the same——
It is now certain that Minamoto no Yorimitsu's crusade did severely damage Oeyama's vitality. It directly led to the death of Tiger Bear and Shikuma among the Four Demon Kings in that battle. The status of Shuten Doji and Ibaraki Doji is unknown.
Haven't shown up for a long time.
Among the upper echelons of ghosts in Dajiangshan, only two people, Xing Xiong and Jin Xiong, are left struggling to support them, and they are the ones who talk things over on the surface of this monster force.
After experiencing the Yuan family's crusade, Dajiangshan most likely used some method to hide back in the ordinary world and lay dormant, and has only been revived now.
These are pretty much what Kamiyagawa can ask in the Youkai City, and this is the basic overview related to this force.
"Neither Shuten-douji nor Ibaraki-douji seems to have directly appeared in Oeyama's forces. Could it be that they no longer exist? But the ghost stories in this city seem to firmly believe that Oesan is still controlled by Shuten-douji.
The commander..."
Kamiyakawa was thinking and guessing in his mind.
Then he raised his head again, his pupils narrowed, and he looked towards the north of the city.
Now he was in the middle of the central axis of this big city, surrounded by strange and strange monsters of all shapes and sizes.
From the cracks in the stone bricks on the street, a cold ghostly aura constantly overflows, gathering ghostly mist on the ground, so thick that it flows past the feet like a stream. White and red paper lanterns in the sky are suspended out of thin air, floating up and down,
The pale or blood-red will-o'-the-wisp light is like a long slippery tongue hanging down from a high place, taking the trouble to lick everything around it.
Looking north from here, one can see the outline of a gorgeous palace in the distance through the layers of ghost fog and will-o'-the-wisps.
The palace is like a giant beast sleeping soundly, lying flatly in the northernmost part of the monster city.
Shen Gu stared intently, and could see that the top of the giant beast made of bricks, stones, and earth was filled with incalculable auras of ghosts and gods, twisting into a huge vortex that could not stop spinning. In the dark vortex, ferocious faces bulged out.
Dissipated again, roaring and roaring.
However, after unlocking the ability to perceive vision, this strange and terrifying sight was no longer visible.
"The overall aura of this monster city is very strange, and there must be something very special and powerful over there in the palace... This may be the reason why the monsters in Daejiang Mountain now believe that Shuten Douji is still leading them."
"The current situation is still not clear enough. If possible, I would like to explore inside that palace."
Just as Kamiya was thinking about and planning his next move, the strange rumors around him suddenly started boiling down.
A large number of sane ghosts crawled, ran or flew towards the east city.
"What is this doing?"
Kamiya, who stood quietly, was still outside the situation.
He looked around and saw the lantern-carrying monk who had first asked the question, stumbling past with the small lantern in his hand shaking.
"Hey, little monk with a lantern."
Kamiya, who had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the young monk by his collar and pulled him in front of him.
"Wow! Ah, ah...it's you again."
After the lamp-carrying monk saw clearly who the ghost talk was that was holding him back, he wasn't particularly panicked anymore.
After the simple contact before, he felt that this white, blurry and unclear ghost story was quite good.
After simply answering a few questions from him, I got more than thirty soul crystals from him.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"Oh, you just got here, so you don't know. The arena, the arena is about to start."
The lamp-carrying monk did not ask for soul crystals from Kamiya this time. As an extremely weak monster, he would not be able to retain soul crystals if he had too many soul crystals. Otherwise, to other monsters in Dajiangshan, he would be like a moving monster.
Money bag, he exploded with gold coins in minutes.
"The arena?"
"Yes, Dajiangshan's General Arena. If you win a match, you will have the chance to become a captain of ten. If you can win consecutively, you can also become a ghost general!"
The lamp-carrying monk scratched the back of his bald head:
"It's because the arena is going to be held today that there are so many strange stories coming to the city. Even foreigners from places like Atago Mountain and Wakasa Bay from the surrounding areas will come to join in the fun. If you can fight, you can also try it. If you can be a
The ghost general can not only get a lot of soul crystals, but also... uh, a beautiful female ghost succubus as a reward. However, the arena is a bit dangerous."
"How dangerous?"
"There have been a lot of weird stories about people dying in the ring lately."
"oh."
Kamiya generally understood.
Pointing the generals in the arena seems to be a simple and crude way for the powerful forces to select "military talents".
Go on stage and compete, whoever has the bigger fist can get a position in the army of powerful forces.
Dajiangshan has recently made moves to expand into the surrounding areas, so it holds such point-of-competition competitions more frequently.
However, it is obviously a competition to select talents, but it seems that life and death fighting is allowed, which will definitely lose some monsters who can still fight, so this method is really primitive.
In comparison, Kamiya feels that his own power management method is much more civilized.
"I'm going to Dongshi!"
After the monk with the lantern answered the question, he hurried away with the paper lantern.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kamiya thought for a while and followed.
Click on the general arena. This sounds like a way to understand the battle strength of the country. It's not a bad idea to watch the excitement.
And...a beautiful female ghost and succubus.
I want to see how beautiful it is.
…
The east side of Dajiangshan City.
There is an open space here, surrounded by a circle of hemp rope, and the exposed mud is full of pits. The ghostly aura flowing above the mud seems to have a more bloody smell than other places in the city.
This is the location where Dajiangshan City holds the general competition.
In the center of the open space, there is an old locust tree growing.
The crown of the tree is high, and the dense leaves are swaying like human hands.
From one of the thick branches, a white "rope" hangs down, and the end of the rope is connected to a large horse head.
The two round eyeballs on the horse's head were twitching, and from time to time it would make a roaring sound of "咴-咴-".
The white "rope" connecting the horse's head to the locust tree may be something like a trachea, and it is constantly moving along with the neighing of the horse's head.
This weird existence should be a monster named "Ma Chuitou".
In Japan, there is a kind of monster that will suddenly hang down from the trees. The things hanging down are all kinds of strange, such as human heads, horse heads, babies, bamboo baskets, tea bags, fishing bottles or a ball of fire, etc. There are legends about the falling monsters in each region.
Everything is different and has regional characteristics.
And "Horse's Head Hangs Down" tells the story of a horse's head hanging from a tree——
[In Okayama County, one night, a man was walking alone on the road. When he passed an old tree, there was no wind, but the branches kept rustling. The man felt strange, looked up at the tree, and saw that the tree was rustling.
A horse's head hung down from the top, and it screamed "咴-咴-".]
This horse with its head hanging down is not a monster participating in the fighting in the ring, but more like a host in the ring.
When Kamiya arrived here following the stream of ghost stories, he could see two other monsters in the open space, fighting each other to kill them.
As the battle became more intense, the horse lowered its head and roared more and more excitedly along with the monsters watching.
Soon, the battle in the arena was decided.
To be continued...
