call out!
Snapped!
The sharp whistle of the whip came from inside the cave again.
A strong wind carried heavy dust and came with murderous intent.
Kamiyakawa, who had been on guard for a long time, used Ah Hung's breath to coordinate his body and nimbly avoided the wind blade.
"There is so much resentment and murderous intent. I originally thought he would be an overseer who could be brought back to Aokigahara or something."
The one who comes is not good.
Unlike Shikijiro, who was so numb and ignorant that he would not react at all when he saw a living person like Kamiyagawa, what came out of the abandoned mine later was a powerful and hostile monster.
Generally speaking, there is a probability of powerful and strange stories happening in remote and desolate areas.
The most typical example is the former Ouri Island.
On a remote island, there are actually three B-level ghost stories, and they have not been noticed by the official exorcists for a long time.
It’s not incomprehensible that this would happen.
For example, the core strength of the countermeasures room is mainly concentrated near several major metropolitan areas in Japan, with little regard for remote areas. Unless a major supernatural event occurs, the countermeasures room's attention will be attracted there.
As for the three B-level ghost tales on Ouri Island, the eight-foot-old girl among them behaves in a low-key manner and will not take the initiative to come into contact with humans.
The remaining red rays and anglers were bonded together to form a composite god. Their needs were incense and human child sacrifices.
The number of Zhiji offerings may require one during the annual fishing season.
There have always been followers of red stingrays on Ouri Island, and the impact brought by red stingrays is much smaller than that of vicious ghost stories of the same level. This is why the official has not noticed the small place of Ouri Island for a long time.
The same is true for the deep mountains of Bie Tongzi Mountain where the Divine Valley is now located.
It was already extremely remote and sparsely populated.
According to the local spirit exorcist Ai Saotome, there have never been any supernatural incidents.
It belongs to an area where no official jurisdictional attention has been paid.
It is possible that there are powerful ghost stories that have never caused a major disaster for some reason.
Kamiyagawa is wary of this and will not take it lightly.
Buzz.
The phone vibrated, and "Kaitan Monogatari" gave the basic information about the encounter with the monster——
[The foreign visit catalog has been updated. ]
[Name of the ghost story: Monster King of Dust Tomb]
[Grade: C grade]
[Status: Visiting (the seal is loose)]
[Extraordinary visit progress: 100%]
"It's just C-level, okay. But what does the loose seal mean? This is the first time I've seen such a note."
After receiving the message, Kamiyakawa relaxed a little.
The Monster King of Dust Tomb.
It seems that this is the originator of the whip style in Bie Tongzi Mountain.
The Monster King of the Dust Tomb, as the name suggests, is a strange story formed when dust accumulates into a mountain.
The usual image is described as a monster with a huge body, a crown on its head, wide eyes, an animal skin skirt tied around its waist, and an air of the king of monsters.
According to legend, when this kind of ghost appears in people's homes, it will wreak havoc in places where dust accumulates, speed up the aging of items, and take pleasure in destroying items in the home as revenge for excessive dust accumulation in the house.
According to this background story, the Monster King of the Dust Tomb prefers monsters that are less harmful to humans.
They are mainly strange stories created to remind people to pay attention to home hygiene.
But there are also other kinds of stories about the Monster King of the Dust Tomb. Toriyama Shiyan described this kind of monster in "Hundred Utensils in vain" as follows: "Fusen has all kinds of things, and everything with form has its own strength. Shang Lin is the leader of the beast. "The phoenix is the head of the bird, and the strange king of Chenzhong is the head of the mountain grandmother born from dust."
The king of beasts is the unicorn, the king of birds is the phoenix, and the monster king of dust tombs transformed from accumulated dust is the king of mountain aunts.
According to documentary records, there was indeed a saying among Japanese folk that the Monster King of the Dust Tomb was a kind of Shan Lao.
The Monster King of Dust Tombs encountered in Kamiya River appears in the mountains, and there is a high probability that it will be biased towards the latter.
call out! Snapped!
The whip wind mixed with thick dust in the mine struck again.
This time Kamiyakawa did not take the initiative to hide.
Beside him, Mary's red and black dress swayed out, and the bloody red mist surged out, meeting the whip wind.
The fog and sand collided, and the strange wind died down instantly.
At the same time, Hannya and Inugami also appeared.
In the dense forest above the head, there is also a transformed whale holding a conch in his hand, sitting on the back of a skeletal whale spirit, floating up and down, with little blue lights shining.
"My temper is very small...I launched an attack with such murderous intent without saying a word. I can't be polite to you."
Kamitani River himself also drew his sword and attached it to Yang Lei.
A transparent and dark ghost arm appeared on his right hand.
Snap, snap.
There were footsteps coming from the entrance of the cave.
From this distance, Kamiya could already see the appearance of the enemy with the help of his slightly shrunken pupils.
It was a human figure in ragged clothes, skinny and stiff. The appearance is actually somewhat similar to the batch of Shikijiro that was just taken away.
The difference is that this humanoid's hair style is Tsukiyo.
It is a hairstyle that traditional samurai would wear.
"warrior?"
Kamiyakawa was slightly confused.
He saw a damaged sword stuck in the warrior's chest.
The broken blade emerged from his back.
And at the gap created by the incomplete knife, sand was constantly pouring out, making a sound like a whip.
The strange atmosphere that I felt just now also spread out from there.
"I seem to understand what 'the seal is loose' means." Kamiyagawa clenched his fist and said, "Go ahead!"
…
"Ouch!"
The Inugami, who was bathed in fire, was the first to rush out and pounce on the warrior skeleton.
But when the big mouth was about to bite the warrior, a strange light flashed from the broken blade on the warrior's chest.
The enemy's figure instantly dissipated and reappeared two meters away.
Inugami pounced on nothing.
He was also hit by the whip wind wrapped in yellow sand, and his back and abdomen seemed to be cut open with a sharp knife, leaving two bloody gashes.
The Monster King of the Dust Tomb, or that warrior, showed unexpected abilities.
However, it is too unrealistic for a Kaitan who is only C-level and in a very strange state to be able to defeat Kamiya with this unique skill.
"Mary, behind you."
The red and black dress swayed, and the heavy machete was raised high, its blade shining coldly.
The skeleton warrior used that strange "flash" to shake the Inugami away. As soon as he landed, Mary appeared behind him simultaneously.
The red mist boils and vibrates, creating ripples in circles.
The bloody blade fell with enough power to distort space.
The incomplete sword on the chest of the skeletal warrior once again flashed with a strange light, and his figure instantly disappeared, reappearing two meters away.
This move can shake off an unsuspecting Inugami, but this time it is Aragami Marie who launches the attack.
Even if the blade does not hit directly, the distance of only two meters is enough to reach the enemy just by roaring out the red mist with the machete like a rainbow penetrating the sun.
Bang.
A piece of blood mist solidified, and as an extension of the blade, it chased out and slashed the skeleton warrior's back.
With one blow, the haggard Xingzheng made a dull sound like metal and stone colliding.
The warrior froze and fell to the ground.
"Have you had enough of your tricks?"
Kamiyagawa and the slender Prajna attacked simultaneously under the mask of jealousy.
Prajna's purple and white undergarments fluttered, and the weird black claws held down the fallen warrior's head.
A large amount of white greasy powder was shaking off around her, fighting against the wind and sand that constantly poured out from the gap in the warrior's chest and back.
Kamiya's pupils condensed sharply, his eyes sparkled, he seized the opportunity, and stabbed down the words in his hand from top to bottom!
The indigo-colored blade was filled with ferocious thunder, sputtering out dazzling arcs of electricity.
A word penetrated the warrior's back and opened the strange gap where the wind and sand leaked out.
call out! Snapped!
With one word running through the samurai's back and belly.
A more violent whip wind swept out from the warrior's violently twitching body.
A twisted human face appeared in the constantly churning wind and sand.
And that person's face was being pierced by a word, and was being eroded and burned by the ferocious sun's thunder. It seemed to be in extreme pain, and it aroused the wind and dust to roar and scream.
"Woo-"
The transformed whale watching the battle overhead played the conch horn, commanding the whereabouts of a whale spirit, and applied [Whale Bone Shield] to his own Onmyoji.
The pale whale bone shield enveloped the Kamiya River in the center of the wind and sand in time, making the Dust Tomb Monster King's near-death counterattack ineffective.
At the same time, Mary also spread the red mist, surrounding Prajna and Inugami.
Amidst the low sound of the conch horn, Zashiki rang the bell.
[The Monster King of the Dust Tomb has died and received 678 soul crystals! ]
The dust has settled.
…
The battle ended quickly, taking only a few minutes.
After the death of the Monster King of the Dust Tomb, in addition to the soul crystal, a piece of C-level Monster Blood was drawn out by the [Candle Maker Monk's Blood Pump].
With Kamiyagawa's current strength, dealing with a C-level ghost story is really difficult.
After a battle, Inugami suffered a little superficial injury.
Wait until the sandstorm outside the mine subsides.
Kamiya looked at the place where the Monster King of the Dust Tomb had just died, and saw that the originally thin body of a warrior had turned into a pool of fishy and unpleasant blood.
Some tattered clothes and the mutilated knife were still on the ground.
"Seal..."
Kamiyagawa dusted himself off and walked towards the samurai's relics.
He could already roughly guess what happened here.
According to Saotome Ai, the local spirit exterminator I met before, whip wind blew in Betsuko Mountain during the Meiji era, killing and injuring many miners.
Now it is basically certain that the source of this strange wind is the Monster King of the Dust Tomb.
Ms. Saotome also said that the whip wind disappeared within a certain period of time, and nothing strange happened again after leaving Tongzi Mountain.
Then maybe the warrior who becomes a zombie is the one who can deal with the whip wind.
This unknown warrior may have found the Monster King of the Dust Tomb in the mountains and fought with him. Although he did not directly defeat the monster, he finally used his own body and the strange and incomplete sword to defeat the monster. The Monster King of Dust Tomb sealed it.
It seems that there was a very tragic retreat battle in Bie Tongzi Mountain a long time ago, but to this day no one remembers or knows about it.
And after a hundred years, the warrior's original seal may not be strong enough.
Coupled with Kamiya's act of lighting the requiem candle at the entrance of the cave, the Monster King of the Dust Tomb who was trapped in the abandoned mine was stimulated and woke up.
"So the reason why the strange king wakes up is probably because of me. But it doesn't matter if it is solved, once and for all. I also did good deeds and solved a hidden danger in Bie Tongzi Mountain."
Kamiyakawa looked at the samurai's remnants on the ground and picked up the incomplete sword.
"Is there anything special about this thing? It can seal the C-level Monster King of the Dust Tomb. Moreover, I always feel that it was this sword that just appeared with the withered body of the warrior."
I just got the broken knife in my hand.
The originally shattered blade shattered with a snap, and rusty metal fragments fell to the ground, along with some blue-gray color and seemingly unusual powdery ash.
"These things are... war ashes?"
Kamiya had held Oda Nobunaga's war ashes, so he knew what this special tempered weapon material looked like.
He carefully collected the powder on the ground.
[Get the Ashes of War·Ittosai's Blade Heart! ]
[Ittosai's Blade Heart (super epic material): The powerful swordsman Ito Ittosai in the Warring States Period left the battle ashes behind after his death. ]
[Although Ito Ittousai never called himself "Ittō-ryu", he was the founder and founder of Ittō-ryu swordsmanship. He became a disciple of Zhong Juan and learned the true inheritance of swordsmanship such as "Wonderful Sword", "Wonderful Sword", and "Garuda King Sword". In addition, he also innovatively developed the unique trick "Fu She Dao". Other techniques include "Blade Yin", "Xiang Xiaodachi", "Yue Shen", "Wu Xiang Sword", etc. ]
[Ittosai traveled through various countries and competed with famous swordsmen from various countries for a total of thirty-three times, without any defeat. He was the strongest swordsman besides the two sword masters Tsukahara Fuden and Kamizumi Nobutsuna during the Warring States Period. ]
[Therefore, the war ashes born after Ito Ittosai's death carry extraordinary sword power. Forging war ash onto a weapon will give you unexpected abilities. ]
[Note, the final effect of Zhan Hui’s ability. Not only is it related to the quality of weapons and war ashes, but the skill level of the forging craftsmen is also an extremely important variable factor! ]
"Ito Ittousai? The great swordsman who pioneered the Ittōsai style in history. No wonder he was ashes of war."
Kamiyagawa carefully read the introductory information on "Kaidan Monogatari".
In this way, the sword held by the unknown warrior who sealed the Monster King of the Dust Tomb was an extraordinary weapon blessed by the battle ash of Itosai.
"The sword war ash is adapted to Ichimonji. By the way, after the war ash is forged into the weapon, is there any possibility of taking it out again..."
Kamiya thought wildly and carefully put away the ashes of Ittousai's battle.
This special trophy must be taken to Gao Tianyuan to find Sister Jue for further study.
"Inugami." Then Kamiyagawa called to Inugami again, pointed to the ground, and said, "Dig a hole."
Inujiro:......
Kamiyakawa buried all the remains of the unknown samurai and piled a small cenotaph outside the mine.
The pit was then filled in again.
After doing all this, he stood in front of the tomb and bowed seriously.
The Monster King of Dust Tomb was retreated from Kamiya River, and this unknown senior samurai should be able to rest in peace.
Moreover, if this senior had made it his mission to eradicate Kaitan during his lifetime, then Kamiya felt that he would probably be happy to hand over the Ittōsai war ashes he held to him.
If you are not happy, well... people have been dead for hundreds of years, so how could they not be happy?
After a simple worship, Kamiyagawa called back the shikigami, called out the little old man and planned to return the same way.
"Aba whining! Aba whining!"
As soon as the little old man appeared, he was gesticulating to his master, extremely excited.
He seemed to be reporting on the situation at the hearse group.
"Speak slowly, I can't understand that much." Kamiyakawa listened carefully for a while, with an expression of surprise on his face, "Wait a minute...what do you mean? You said that Obara has evolved!?"
