Chapter 289: Gen Laiguang and the Four Heavenly Kings
Li Wei did not expect to see the young Yiji in this world. It even seemed that she had not inherited the status of Jianyu Thundergod and was still a great demon.
Moreover, there are not even ten people around her now, and the bride that Li Wei just killed seems to be Yiji's only subordinate.
He looked at the killing stone in another space and was in a daze. The flames had completely burned the thatched house to ashes, and the body of the bride inside had been completely integrated with the ashes of the vegetation.
When he saw Yiji again, he thought he would have a lot to say, but he just put on the mask again.
"Wait for me..." He murmured in a low voice. He still holds an S-level ability, the art of reincarnation in another world.
He knew very well that no matter what he did, he couldn't stop Yiji's determination. He couldn't do it in the main world, and he still couldn't do it now.
Therefore, at this time, it would be better for him not to recognize her, or even have too much contact with her.
Levi walked to the pit filled with human bones and felt it. There was no breath of living people in the spider silk cocoon. Under the moonlight, a drop of liquid fire dripped on it.
Levi began to leave slowly in the northeast direction.
That is our destination this time. The ghost tribe of the original Nara Castle is entrenched in Oeyama.
Just after Li Wei left for a while, the irritable Yi Ji returned here and gritted her teeth when she saw the completely burned area in the pit of corpses.
"Damn Onmyoji, you didn't run away but hid in place, you actually tricked me, kill you! Kill you!"
…
Nara Oeyama, an unknown area.
A jar of turbid wine was sealed and transported here, while a golden-haired demon with a single horn on his head was sitting on the seat, holding his chin with one hand and placing the other hand randomly.
One of its legs stepped on the seat very casually, and its animal leather clothing was opened, revealing its chest wrapped in cloth strips.
It looks like a bohemian blonde beauty, but it is actually strictly a male creature.
It is Ibaraki Douji, the current second-in-command of Oeyama. Although he looks like a big-breasted beauty, he is actually a man. He has the characteristics of both men and women. He is a demon. It is amazing, right?
At this time, it was looking at the jars of wine cellars, always smiling.
"Ibaraki-sama, the Aoki, Red Oni and Mountain Oni in Kyoto are all missing. They should have returned a long time ago..." Another evil ghost with three eyes came over to report.
"Hey, were you killed by the ghost hunting team in Kyoto?" Ibaraki said casually, then picked up a plate-like bowl, scooped out the wine from the jar, and poured it directly into his mouth.
"Generally, you can divide this wine among yourselves later. It's not worthy of tribute to the king." He threw the plate out casually, smashed it to pieces, and sat down on his seat again with that wanton attitude.
"I don't know, but the ghosts sent there only saw flaming remains on the ground, and they didn't even find any bones. It doesn't look like the methods of the ghost hunting team..." The evil ghost said, "And, Mr. Ibaraki, those
It seems that the ghost hunting team is coming to Dajiangshan..."
"Then let them do it. After the death of Yamata-no-Orochi, we ghost clan will not be afraid of any force, whether it is humans or other monsters. You just have to organize the king's grand banquet, and I will take care of the rest."
"I understand." The evil ghost resigned.
Then, Ibaraki stood up and slowly saw in one direction, a woman wrapped in a black robe walked over from the darkness, with only her chin and mouth exposed to the air.
"Have you brought the head of Yamata no Orochi? That is the agreement between you and the king." Ibaraki said.
"We have brought them, and there are three heads." Under the black robe, the woman said slowly, "And there is also what you want, divine blood."
"Thank you very much, woman, but I am very curious, who are you?" Ibaraki looked at her, wanting to discover her true identity, but the black robe was like a mist in its perception.
.
"I come from the Moon Palace of Gaotianyuan. As for the rest, you can't know it. Congratulate yourselves, ghost kings..." Then, after she finished speaking, her body disintegrated and disappeared from the place.
"Qi..."
Subsequently, several white-bone skulls were also transported into the cave by the ghost tribe. They were extremely huge snake heads. The heads alone were six or seven meters high.
And these are the treasures Shuten Doji needs to become the Demon King and make the Oni clan the strongest demon.
"The great river and mountain flower banquet will be the day when our ghost clan will stand on the earth and become the ruler of Weiyuan. Let's celebrate..." Then Ibaraki was too lazy to think about that woman.
They had already obtained the treasure they wanted most. As for the price, they only had to follow the woman's words and use the divine blood on the little devils below.
It doesn't know which god's blood it is, Suzuo? Amaterasu? Or Yinyanami's?
What these ghosts don't know yet is that several people have sneaked into Nara, and they even move faster than the green ghosts, red ghosts and mountain ghosts who reported the news.
"Master Yuan, Guhuotiao has discovered that the demons will hold a banquet called the 'Oeyama Flower Wine Banquet' in ten days, and all the wineries in Nara will start brewing wine." A man who looked like a middle-aged farmer
people said.
His name is Bubu Jiwu. Although he looks like an old farmer, the armor with the crescent hood is his armor, and his own strength is also at the level of a real swordsman.
A human-faced bird landed on his arm. This was the famous Birth Bird, but it was subdued by him when he was in Mino and became his shikigami.
In this era, there seems to be no separation between swordsmen and onmyoji. Most people are good at everything, and at most they are just good at that direction.
"Huh? What's the difference between wine brewed in ten days and water?" Another young man with muscles all over his body shouted loudly. Even though he is now wearing linen clothes, he is also studded with various gold jewelry, which looks very similar to
An upstart.
"Sakata Kintoki, don't argue. This is not the point. The point is that we only have more than ten days." Another serious man kneeling on the ground scolded. His name was Watanabe Tsuna, a great swordsman.
He is one of the strongest members of this ghost hunting team.
Then, he said to another person: "Usui Sadamitsu, it is said that your onmyojitsu has spread to Abe Seimei's old enemy Ashiya Michitoshi, can you predict even a few words?"
Another man dressed as a Shinto priest looked at the slowly burning talisman in his hand and said: "Ghosts cry and drunkenly dream about the whole country, and the blood moon shines on thousands of people in fear. The gods personally come to the ghost king, and the gods and ghosts all turn into the mountains and perish...
"
"What, what, what? What is all this?" Sakata Kintoki rubbed his pure golden hair, not knowing what it meant at all.
"It means that the demons in the great rivers and mountains are so violent that the gods cannot stand it and come to attack the demons. It seems that God is helping me." said Bubu Jiwu, who was stroking the Guhuo bird in his hand.
"I already understand. Let's continue to explore the movements of the great rivers and mountains. Then, we will also look for that god." The Lord sat down and a handsome, even good-looking young man said slowly.
The group of people stood up and looked at the young man who was speaking and saluted.
"Master Minamoto, but we know nothing about gods, and we don't even know who he is. How can we find him among hundreds of thousands of people in Nara..." Watanabe Tsuna bowed and said.
"We only need to keep an eye on the movements of some demons, and we will naturally meet the gods." The young man said, and stood up. Although he was wearing linen outside, he was still covered in armor. "Then, the ghost hunting team will start clearing the obstacles."
"Hayin!"
The group stood up and hid their weapons on their bodies.
General Minamoto Yorimitsu, his four demon-hunting kings, the great swordsman Watanabe Tsuna, the Bubu Jibu who is attached to the witch bird, the half-demon Sakata Kintoki, and the wizard Usui Sadamitsu.
…
Levi rushed towards Nara. This time he did not get lost. He followed the main road. At dawn, Levi saw the towering Nara city wall in the distance, but strangely, what was written on it was "Kyoto"
Rashomon".
In fact, speaking of Nara and Kyoto, they are closely related in the history Li Wei saw. Nara was originally the "ancient Kyoto", but due to various reasons, a "new Kyoto" was established northeast of Nara, which was the Li Wei era.
Located in Kyoto.
The original ancient Kyoto was named after the local basin and was renamed Nara.
Even for many years, Nara and Kyoto were different prefectures of the same city and were connected together. Even in later generations, the distance between the two cities was only a hundred kilometers.
Therefore, many things in Nara City are still named after "Kyoto".
After secretly entering Nara, the first thing Levi felt was a completely different atmosphere from other places, and that was wine.
Even though there is information that Nara has been occupied by demons for nearly a year, the environment in the city seems to be no different from other cities. People still live a normal life, low houses are close together, and the roads in many places can only accommodate
The next person has to pass sideways.
There are various small markets in an endless stream, but the most popular ones are wine and drunkards.
As Li Wei walked along, he saw countless drunken men. Most of them were dressed in sackcloth and turbans, and then they fell down on the spot and began to sleep.
The whole city has this atmosphere.
The difference from other places is probably that I didn't see any Onmyoji or swordsmen along the way, they were all civilians.
Not even any nobles or nobles can see it.
The mansions of noble families were turned into brewing workshops, and a large amount of turbid wine flowed out of them and flowed into the entire market.
Everything made Levi feel very surprised, even a strange and harmonious sense of absurdity, and looking at these people, it seemed as if their lives were better, and they were drunk and dreaming of alcohol every day.
He walked aimlessly, trying to sense the demon's figure using his tracking technique, but Li Wei wandered around all morning without any gains. This city was even cleaner than Li Wei's Kyoto.
There is no trace of any demon...
He walked to a street stall, found a place to sit down and ate.
It was very lively here during the day, with an endless stream of people coming and going, but most of the people were drunk, and those who were not drunk had sad and dignified faces.
"Hey, let me ask, why are they all so drunk? Don't they need to work?" Levi pointed to the people lying on the corpses and asked the store owner.
The shopkeeper poured millet, water, and wasabi powder into the bamboo tube in his hand, and then said: "Because the new Lord of Nara provides free sake, as long as you can finish it, you can go there and ask for a few jars of sake every day. You see
, no one has tasted wine before the new feudal lord, those drunkards will naturally be intoxicated."
"Is there such a thing?" Levi returned.
"The guest is a foreigner, right? You don't know how great the new feudal lord is. He hanged the nobles, slaughtered all the officials, gave all the fields to us, and even provided free drinks every day. It was like a god coming to the world.
Same thing." The shopkeeper continued, fanning the fire in his hand.
In front of him, the bamboo tubes were put into the fire and roasted. Maybe it was because there were no iron pots that they adopted such a primitive cooking method.
"Drinking like this, nothing happened to these people?"
"Hey, let's not talk about it. Many drunk guys die or disappear every day, but everyone is used to it. Many drunk guys who sleep directly on the street are trampled to death." The store continued, as he continued
The fan made the bamboo tubes break one by one. He also clamped these bamboo tubes and handed them to Li Wei.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
"Okay, guest, you want rice in a bamboo tube." Li Wei looked at the dark bamboo tube and handed over a small piece of silver, thinking that he would just have to make do with it.
The shopkeeper picked up the small piece of silver and took a bite. He suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, guest. Thank you very much, guest. But when you come to our place, remember to lock the door and close the windows at night. Don't go out. Don't look or think about anything."
, must remember..."
"Huh? Why?"
"Guest, don't ask too many questions, just listen to me." The store owner said with a strong local accent.
Levi didn't get to the bottom of it. He pried open the cracked bamboo tube and began to eat the lunch with tachyons made from two peeled branches.
"Huh? Surprisingly, it's not bad." Levi took a bite. The smell of fireworks, the fragrance of bamboo, and the taste of wasabi powder were not comparable to the food of later generations, but in this era, it was surprisingly not unpalatable.
.
"Guest, this is the way we figured out how to eat. When I was a kid, we didn't even have a pot at home. At first we used stones to cook. Then we found bamboo and that's how we cooked." The store owner continued.
"Stop! Get her!"
A sudden roar interrupted Levi's lunch.
He looked for a voice and saw a dirty figure running towards him holding a half-meter-long hairtail fish.
Behind him, a fisherman smelling fishy and stained with blood kept yelling and roaring.
Nara is a peninsula, with the Seto Inland Sea of Osaka Bay not far to the west and the Kumano Bay Sea not far to the east. Therefore, the fishery here is also very developed. Compared with inland Kyoto, at least it is richer in fish.
a lot of.
So here, ordinary people may be able to buy some fish.
Li Wei glanced at it curiously, then withdrew his gaze, preparing to finish today's lunch and buy some more bamboo tube rice to put in the different space.
The little girl holding the hairtail passed by not far from Levi. She was running with bare feet. Her body was dirty and smelled of sea water. Her hair was tangled like kelp.
