"Then I'll tell you." After receiving the reply from the head of the Kamo family, Abe Hiroki said: "Yesterday, our Abe family met with Lady Tamamoae and learned something from her."
"This generation of Shuten-douji is about to begin. This generation of Hyakki Night Parade will take place in Chiba Prefecture."
"What did you say?!" The head of the Kamo family changed his expression, and the other three stewards were so shocked that they almost stood up.
Shuten Doji is one of the three great monsters in Japan. He is the same name as Tamamozamae as the three great monsters in Japan.
They are both ancient monsters.
It's just that unlike Tamamo-mae, Tamamo-mae has lived since ancient times from the Yin and Shang Dynasties to the present.
However, Shuten-dōji is different. It is a hereditary system. Before each generation of Shuten-dōji grows old, it will find a new Shuten-dōji successor, allowing them to inherit their own strength and lifelong memories.
It's like the hereditary inheritance of ancient nobles and the inheritance of status.
The Kamo family, as one of the three major Onmyoji families, jointly manages the current Onmyo Ryo, which holds three of the twelve highest seats in the Onmyo Ryo. Naturally, they are aware of the issue of drinking and swallowing boys.
Same time.
In addition to the hereditary system, Shuten Doji also has another rule...
Every time a new generation of Shuten-dōji appears, a Hundred Demon Night Parade will be held at any location.
There is no other reason for this. In order to show the power of Shuton-douji and announce to the whole world that a new Shuton-douji is 'born', so that all monsters in Japan can witness the power of the new generation of Shuton-douji.
A symbol of status and a proof of strength.
Just like when an ancient emperor ascended the throne, he needed to hold an enthronement ceremony. For monsters, the enthronement ceremony is-Hundred Ghosts Night Parade!
This is very popular among Japanese monsters. Not only Shuten Doji, but also the big monsters who rule a party will behave this way, such as the Daitengu of the three major monsters, the sly ghost known as the Lord of the Night of the Hundred Demons, etc.
Also for this reason.
The scale of the Hundred Ghost Night Parade has become a measure of the strength of the great monsters. The larger the scale, the more noble and status it shows.
The head of the Kamo family frowned:
"Have you notified the other twelve seats in Yin Yang House about this matter?"
"Not yet. I'm the uncle who came to see you first. I'm the uncle who informed you first. I'll go to the Yin and Yang Hall with you later to inform the other twelve seats."
Abe Hiroki replied.
The head of the Kamo family rubbed his temples and glanced sideways at Hiroki Abe: "This generation of Shuten-dōji has a very bad temper. Do you want to use Shuten-dōji to make a fuss about Zhang Xin?"
Shuten-dōji is one of the three major monsters in Japan. The Hyakuki Yōkyō shown by him is destined to be unprecedented, and the scale cannot be compared with the ordinary Hyakki Yōkyō.
He knew that Abe Hiroki's sudden change of topic to Shuten Douji's Hyakki Yakou was definitely not a change of topic and had something to do with Zhang Xin.
Think about it carefully.
He basically had a guess in his mind and knew what Abe Hiroki was thinking.
"almost."
Abe Hiroki continued: "Whether it is in the past or now, the Onmyo Ryo cannot sit idly by when Hyakki Yakou appears, especially since this generation of Shuten-doji are irritable and arrogant."
"Once the Hundred Demons walk at night, it is destined not to simply command the Hundred Demons to walk around Tokyo like the Slippery Ghost. Without hurting innocent people, there will definitely be innocent casualties."
"Hiroki, you are right." The head of the Kamo family said solemnly: "Shuten Doji's Hyakki Yakou must be monitored, and if necessary, the Hyakki Yakou must be stopped."
At this moment.
The head of the Abe family also looked at the head of the Kamo family and echoed: "We need to inform the Onnyangryo of the news, and then contact the other twelve seats in the Onnyangryo to go together."
"It's natural. It's safest to attack the twelve seats together. After all, it's Shuten Douji's Hyakki Yakou." The head of the Kamo family agreed.
There are twelve seats in Yin Yangliao.
These are the twelve current onmyoji in Japan with the highest combat power. The head of the Abe family and the head of the Kamo family are also ranked first and second among them.
Hiroki Abe said:
"The collision between Shuten Doji's Hyakki Yakou and Onmyo Ryo is a battle of the highest standard."
"Zhang Xin is just an unknown person in Daxia and has no access to this level."
"He has no idea what an insurmountable gap there is between our family and his. I want him to participate in Shuten Douji's Hyakuki Night Walk. Even if he doesn't die in the Hyakuki Night Walk, he will get to see the Abe family and the Kamo family." Strength."
"I think this will make him understand that relying solely on his relatively good talent is useless. He will understand the gap and realize that the marriage between the Kamo family and the Abe family is a good choice for Megumin."
"If Zhang Xin really likes Huihui, he will give it up voluntarily. No one will be willing to think about the better development of the person he loves. If he doesn't really like it and just likes the Kamo family, then he will be scared to death Trousers, don't dare to eat swan meat."
After he finished speaking, he did not forget to show an apologetic smile:
"The method is a bit dirty, but it is also a last resort."
The head of the Kamo family did not speak. The head of the Kamo family branch next to him spoke first:
"Kurokawa, I think Hiroki's nephew has a good idea. If Zhang Xin dies in Hyakuki Yakou, Huihui has no reason to refuse the engagement. Even if he is not dead, he sees the gap. I will come forward and say a few words later, and he will take the initiative. Giving up will also stop Megumin from wanting to be with him."
"It's a good idea." The head of the Kamo family put his muscular hands on the table and intertwined his fingers: "Then it's decided."
Subsequently.
The head of the Kamo family stood up: "Where will Shuten Doji's Hyakuki Night Parade be held? Has Tamamoae-sama said anything?"
"Yes." The head of the Abe family said, "It is planned to be in Chiba Prefecture."
"Let's go to Onmyoji together to compete with Shuten Doji's Hyakuki Yakō. I can just call him on the way to talk about Zhang Xin's matter. The key point is to contact the Twelve Seats to deal with Shuten Doji's Hyakki Yakō."
The head of the Kamo family is 1.9 meters tall, wearing a Japanese kimono, and his style of painting is incompatible with the Abe family.
Rather than being onmyoji, the style of painting is more like the anime Saba.
…
In a Tokyo hotel.
"Uncle, I will work hard and I will not let you down." Zhang Xin said respectfully into the phone.
"What's wrong? What did my dad say?" Kamo Megumi waited until Zhang Xin hung up the phone and immediately came up to ask.
Just now, Kamo Megumi came to see him. They planned to go out to relax, and stopped by to meet her sister Zhang Xin, who had arrived for a while, and the helpers she had brought. Finally, she felt gentle and prepared to go out.
He received a call from the head of the Kamo family.
Zhang Xin did not hide anything, and told the story that the Kamo family wanted him to participate in stopping the Night Parade of the Hundred Ghosts. He said it was to let Zhang Xin show off his skills in it, so that the onmyojis would recognize it, so that the Kamo family could agree to this. Marriage.
"You can't go to the Hyakki Night Walk! It's very dangerous! My dad agreed to help you, but that guy Abe Hiroki must be adding fuel to the flames. There is a problem!" Kamo Huihui said.
Zhang Xin smiled bitterly: "Huihui, you all know it. Do you think I can't know it? But they are planning to come openly. I can only bite the bullet. I must be recognized by your family and give you peace of mind." reputation."
The two chatted and walked out of the hotel door.
Sudden.
"Xiaoxin."
A voice came from in front of the gate. Zhang Xin looked at it with a look of astonishment:
"sister?!"
He was surprised. He knew that his sister would come looking for him, but he didn't expect that his sister would appear in broad daylight as a 'living person'.
