The Buddhism of One Hundred Demons has been passed down on Dongying Island for tens of thousands of years, but it seems that there has not been any situation where the witches on the island are raising poisons to kill and devour each other. And so many years have passed peacefully, there is no reason for this to happen in the past two years. Suddenly it starts to explode.
Ordinary people might think this way, but the otaku witch doesn't.
The recent series of bad luck has given her a certain understanding of her physical constitution, which is often a mixture of good and bad. Maybe the landmine that has been buried for tens of thousands of years will explode when she happens to pass by. Well, who can say accurately about this kind of thing?
In short, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others.
After understanding the true meaning of the Hundred Demons Dharma, Dorothy decided to keep a low profile. They just came here to travel and work part-time jobs, so it was better not to get too involved in the right and wrong of Japan Island.
Of course, the most important thing is that this monster mountain is really a good place.
Dorothy looked up at the sky, the marks of the talismans flashed in her eyes, and she could see the qi from all over the Japanese island, especially the purple-black eight-headed snake that was particularly eye-catching.
But if you look closely, you will find that no matter how the head and tail of this eight-headed snake shake, there are always two parts of its body that are fixed.
These two pieces of land correspond to two high mountains. These two mountains are the ancestral mountains of Dongying Island, the parents' mountains.
Among them, the father mountain is the monster mountain, and the mother mountain...
The otaku witch's eyes were faint, and across a long distance, she saw the mountain that was always bathed in the sun, and the majestic and sacred huge shrine on the mountain.
That is the nominal lord's place of Japan Island, Amaterasu Shrine.
Dorothy quickly withdrew her gaze. There were a lot of elders in the Amaterasu Shrine, and overly obvious peeks would easily attract attention.
She then looked down at the ground of the monster mountain, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.
"No wonder this mountain is so special. It turns out that the ground here leads to the underworld."
In her eyes, there was a huge cave under the monster mountain. The cave was filled with black smoke and death, and seemed to be connected to the underworld.
No, it doesn't seem like it, it's simply the death energy of Hades.
There are few people who understand the Hades system better than the House Witch. She personally presided over the establishment of the Hades in the Night of the Witch, and just entered and exited the Hades through the gate of the Hades not long ago. Therefore, she is very familiar with the aura of the Hades and recognized it at a glance. Where does Yokai Yamashita's aura come from?
Fortunately, the Monster Mountain directly blocked the Netherworld Cave, thus preventing the death energy from Hades from spreading everywhere.
This couldn't help but remind Dorothy of the Japanese myth that Akekage told not long ago. It seems that the scumbag Yin Zhenaki blocked the entrance and exit of the underworld with a huge stone after escaping from the underworld, which also separated the underworld from the human world.
Tsk, no wonder Monster Mountain is such an evil place but it is Father Mountain. This mountain exudes the energy of pure Yang. Only this special mountain of pure Yang can block the exit of the yin land of underworld. .
Dorothy now understood what Qing Xingdeng said just now. This mountain is special and no one dares to mess around on it.
If this monster mountain has three long and two short sides, then the female immortal Yin Xie Namiko, the mother of Japan Island who has been blocked for tens of thousands of years, will really come out of the underworld. She has sworn to let That scumbag husband regretted it and made the whole world of Japanese island die.
However, it doesn’t matter, anyway, Dorothy is not a Japanese witch, and the fairy liquidation is not her fault. The otaku witch is interested in this monster mountain mainly because this mountain is really suitable as a big target in Yae Purple’s plan. The core of the barrier.
In fact, the mother mountain is quite suitable, but that mountain already has an owner, and Dorothy does not think that her Aunt Zi has the ability to compete with Amaterasu Shrine for territory.
Therefore, it would be a good choice to stay in the mountains for a few more days and explore where suitable areas are suitable for dusting.
The main reason is that I have been having a hard time these past few days. I can get into the bureau when I buy building materials, and I can encounter hundreds of ghosts when I take a walk. Dorothy feels that it is not suitable to go out in the near future, so it is better to find a place to stay for a few days.
She still doesn't believe it. She's already staying at home. Could trouble still come to her door on her own?
The otaku witch decided to play it safe.
After hearing her decision, Sophilia and Audrey nodded directly without asking any questions.
"Okay, then we'll stay on the mountain for a while longer."
The pure white witch said, and the little fox beside me nodded in the same way.
Even Yinchui Yongyi, who had already refused, frowned at this time.
Others don't know Dorothy's identity, but she knows that this little witch who seems inconspicuous at first glance is actually a very important person. Miss Qing Xingdeng just persuaded her to stay, and Miss Ghost King refused, but now this The Clown Grand Inquisitor made the same decision, which made her hesitate.
"Miss Dorothy, have you discovered anything?"
The evil oiran hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
Dorothy shook her head.
"I didn't find anything, it was just my intuition. Miss Yinchui, you are alone at the foot of the mountain, so you'd better take that thing with you."
The otaku witch said so.
And the thing she was talking about was naturally the Judgment Order she lent to Miss Oiran. The Judgment Order blessed by the power of the Three Kings can be said to be the best communicator in the witch world. It is almost impossible to be blocked. If you are really in danger, you can immediately Shake people by order of judgment.
Yinchui Yongyi also nodded when he heard this.
"Okay, I understand, I'll pay attention."
In the end, Miss Oiran decided not to go up the mountain. She had to continue to collect information in Flower Street and prepare internal responses for the Tribunal's next actions.
And with the strength of her Peak Witch, she can't be said to be invincible on this Japanese island, but at least she has some ability to protect herself, and no one should be able to easily control her.
This is what Miss Ghost King thought in her heart.
On the other side, Qing Xingdeng breathed a sigh of relief. Someone finally listened to her advice. When she thought of this, Miss Monster couldn't help but feel that the little witch without spiritual roots suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye.
Well, although this little guy has little talent and doesn't cherish opportunities, at least he still listens to others and is considered a good boy.
"Okay, then let's start the Hyakumonogatari part."
The Green Lantern Bodhisattva stood up and said impatiently to the Hundred Ghost Witch.
The Hyakumonogatari is a customary activity of the Hyakki Festival, and it is also the assessment and test of the Hyakki Witch's cultivation by Qing Xingdeng, the preacher of the law.
Next, the Witch of the Hundred Demons will explain her understanding and insights into the Dharma of the Hundred Demons in turn. If anyone reaches the standard, then this understanding can be turned into a cyan light by the power of the Blue Walking Lantern.
This is her special talent as a Buddhist lamp for spreading Dharma.
The motto left by Buddha back then was that when ghosts appear, saints emerge.
In Qing Xingdeng's understanding, this is probably to fill up a hundred lights, and then it means that her chance to meet the saint is coming soon.
In the past tens of thousands of years, Qingxing Lantern has collected 97 lights.
But now, the inheritances of Daitengu and Tamamo no Mae are both claimed. This is the first time that someone has obtained these two demon king inheritances, so the light will almost certainly be condensed. In other words, she is just one step away from the completion of the Hyakumonogatari. A light burned.
Miss Youkai is looking forward to having someone fill in the last light for her at this Hundred Ghost Banquet.
While she was looking forward to it, the backlight of the Bodhisattva behind her head shone brightly, and an illusory scroll with a complete scene of a hundred ghosts walking at night slowly unfolded.
There are actually far more than a hundred ghosts in the painting, but only 97 of them have clear images and clear images, and many of the remaining places are just dark unknown silhouettes. (It’s so funny. The SSRs in my picture book back then were almost all black. Do you understand the value of moon black?)
The Hyakki Witches in the audience were also very familiar with the rules of the Hyakumonogatari, so someone soon started their own narration.
"Then I'll let you do the talking."
The former Lord of Monster Mountain, Nine Life Lotus, was the first to speak.
"I am a crow tengu. The inheritance of tengu is complex. I am more proficient in the power of wind and thunder. I have some humble opinions on this over the years..."
She spoke slowly, and it can only be said that she was the former master of Monster Mountain and now one of the most powerful people on Japan Island. The secret techniques of wind and thunder she described fascinated the witches and benefited a lot from them.
Even Dorothy nodded her head. She also knew a thing or two about plastic magic.
She used to be proficient in the fire system. After all, she was a member of the Fireball Cult.
However, after Witch Night, her understanding of the rock element came to the forefront. After all, she had been using the little fat dragon's earth-eating template.
But now, after hearing the story of the Nine Life Lotus, Dorothy's inspiration was turbulent, and she felt that her understanding of the two elements of wind and thunder had also made new progress.
"Wonderful, wonderful, I like learning seminars like this the best. Come more, come more."
The otaku witch cheered in her heart, enjoying the experience.
After the Nine Life Lotus finished speaking, a cyan light condensed in front of Qingxing Deng, and then the light fell on the portrait of Crow Tengu in the Night Journey of One Hundred Demons behind her.
However, this is of no use, because the portrait of Crow Tengu is already lit, and the Crow Tengu in the painting clearly looks like the Nine Life Lotus.
This made Qing Xingdeng sigh, slightly regretful.
The good news is, once it hits the target, it will be shipped directly.
The bad news is that it is repeated, the potential of the Noble Phantasm is +1.
This is why it is difficult to collect these hundreds of ghost lights. There are often lights, but most of them are duplicates. These repeated lights cannot be said to be useless. At least they can be used as a reference for future teachings, so that future generations can practice better. But it didn't help much with Buddha's mission progress.
However, with the leader of the Nine Life Lotus, the hundred ghosts and witches in the audience became more active, and then everyone stood up and started their own stories.
"I am the wood charm witch. Wood charm is the spirit of nature. I am proficient in pharmacology and planting..."
"I am a mountain boy witch. I don't have any other specialties. I am relatively strong and have some personal understanding of martial arts..."
"The slave girl is proficient in illusion and charm. I have a dance for you to watch..."
"I am also a mountain boy, but my martial arts skills are not as good as that of my previous sister, so I won't show my shame, but I have some insights into the ways of the earth..."
"I am a human-faced tree, a soulful ghost. Love is the most painful word. I..."
The Hundred Demon Witches all stood up to speak, but their speeches were good or bad. After all, they did not have the peak realm. These were the weaker ones among the Hundred Demon Witches, and they were all just elite witches or ordinary great witches.
The vast majority of people's teachings failed to light up the lamps. Occasionally, there were one or two lamps, but they were all repetitive.
Some of these repeated lights are integrated into the painting but nothing happens, and some directly replace the corresponding ghost images in the painting, indicating that the witch has surpassed her predecessors in understanding the way of demons.
But no matter how annoyed Miss Qingxinglan was because she had not been able to get a new light, Dorothy on the side was quite happy anyway.
In her opinion, there is no distinction between high and low in knowledge. It does not mean that the powerful big witch must know more than the little witch.
You must know that there are specializations in the field, and PhD students in agriculture know more, but old farmers who cannot read a word sometimes know more about farming than doctors.
The Three Stooges are better than Zhuge Liang. This sentence sometimes makes sense. Except for the omniscient God, no one dares to say that he knows everything. There is always someone who happens to know something you don't know.
These weak Hyakki witches may not be as strong as those big monster witches, but some of their thoughts and insights from the weak position make the otaku witch's eyes light up and her inspiration stir.
Moreover, these little monsters and witches sometimes may have something in their stomachs but don't know how to tell it clearly, so they simply start telling their own experiences and explain their opinions based on their experiences.
The life experiences of these little monsters and witches are also valuable knowledge for Dorothy.
However, most of these stories are indeed painful tragedies.
For example, the story of a witch who inherited the legacy of Yokai Izu Shinten.
Izumaten is a kind of bird monster. Every other year, they will grow a golden feather. These priceless golden feathers can arouse the greed of others, but when someone is really greedy and wants to kill the golden feather, When someone comes up with an idea, Izu Shinten will use his powerful claws and wings, as well as the fire in his mouth to teach the other person an unforgettable lesson.
It sounds like this is a monster fishing for law enforcement.
But the story of the witch who inherited this demonic heritage is very tragic. She was a declining noble. Although her life was poor, it was still pretty good. But because of unknown rumors that her family had a treasure passed down from her ancestors, When she came back, her whole family was brutally wiped out, leaving only her young daughter to escape into the monster mountain.
In the end, her hatred and anger attracted the inheritance of Izu Shinten.
Another example is a witch who inherited the legacy of a hungry ghost. She was sold into a wealthy family as a servant when she was a child. As a result, she was abused by her master and almost starved to death. She then developed bulimia, and later received the legacy of a hungry ghost.
Most of the stories about the Hundred Ghosts are like this.
And hearing this made Dorothy feel slightly depressed.
Starving to death is quite common for fragile mortals, but a witch with magical power almost starved to death. This is a bit outrageous. This cannot be a problem of backward productivity, it can only be a matter of determination. The body asked.
Alas, no matter how powerful she is, the witch still has a human heart, and the human heart is sinister, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.
She can now understand a little bit why Yae Murasaki wants to turn the island upside down so much.
In this way, the gathering belonging to the Hundred Ghosts lasted until dawn. When the first ray of sunlight appeared in the east, the mirage disappeared under the sunlight, and the Hundred Ghosts team that had been chatting all night also came to an end.
Before the banquet was over, Qing Xingdeng spoke again, admonishing the hundred ghosts to continue to practice in the mountain. However, most of the hundred ghosts shook their heads. They stepped forward to say goodbye one by one, and then resolutely went down the mountain.
Dorothy, who was planning to stay on the mountain to survey the land, did not come down from the mountain. She watched the team of Hundred Ghosts gradually go away and couldn't help but shake her head.
Hundreds of ghosts are coming out of the mountain, and troubled times are coming.
But, are these real hundred ghosts the ghosts in the mountains, or the people in the city?
....The house witch is deep in thought....
