Kiryu Yiyi said: "Thank you, Master, but my purpose this time is to see the legendary Heian Kyo. I will go even if there is danger."
The old monk nodded: "The donor has great supernatural powers. You really don't need to be afraid of those ordinary monsters. There are only ghost kings in the mountains and rivers... Please be careful."
"Definitely" Kiryu nodded, but did not ask the other party in detail.
They didn't chat for a few words, he was wary, and the old monk's mind was not on him.
Kiryu Yiyi and the old monk dug a pit together and buried the body of the demonized child. The old monk recited the Purana Sutra and said: "Whether it is the path of hungry ghosts or the path of heaven, they are all roiling in the sea of suffering. He will be reincarnated as a human again and will suffer hardships. Only by practicing hard can he reach the paradise world."
"Since you, the donor, are going to Ping'an Capital, the poor monk does not need to go. Mortals are sinking into the sea of suffering, and the poor monk cannot bear it, so he might as well go and save them."
The old monk released his clasped hands and took out a string and handed it to Kiryu Yiyi: "Please also take this string of beads with you. When you see the person you should see, tell him that my master has received it."
Kiryu Yiyi took the beads.
["Sramana Buddhist beads", Buddhist beads that can prove identity and save a lot of trouble]
When Kiryu Yiyi raised his head, the old monk had already taken steps and left in the distance.
"Monk? Reincarnation? Weird!"
He hung the beads on his wrist. Since it would save him a lot of trouble, he wore them.
As for the Buddhist theory of reincarnation, he just listened to it.
It gets dark very quickly.
By the time Kiryu Yiichi arrived in front of the southern gate of Heian-kyo, the moon disk had already hung in the sky.
There were no lights in this era, and if there was no moonlight after dark, it would be easy to go dark.
"I didn't see a woman." Kiryu turned his head strangely.
The south gate of Heian Kyo has not yet been closed.
Because Kiryu Yiyi was dressed in a precious red robe and had two swords at his waist, no one dared to stop him.
I couldn't find the so-called woman asking for help.
"Is it the wrong time?"
roadside.
A group of people like disaster victims were hiding in the corner, bulging their bellies and chewing something.
Kiryu Yiyi took a closer look and saw that they were actually eating human corpses!
When a corpse was eaten clean, the victims immediately started fighting with each other and successfully held down the old and thin man with only a big belly.
Ignoring his struggle, he swarmed up to bite him like a wild dog.
What's even more weird is that after struggling briefly, the old man also started to chew on his own arm. The bloody and chaotic scene was like hell and disgusting.
After the old man was eaten clean by his companions, they all turned their heads and looked at Kiryu Yiyi.
"Hungry ghost?"
Kiryu Yiyi guessed what the group of people in front of him who only knew how to eat were. They were similar to the boys he met on the roadside, except that they were even crazier and only knew how to eat.
In the past, he could still distinguish between human beings and demons with their demonic aura, but the entire Heianjing was filled with demonic aura and resentment, making it impossible to distinguish with his eyes, as if falling into a quagmire.
After all, the hungry ghosts were afraid of Kiryu's superiority and did not pounce on him to seek death.
The journey has not been uneventful.
"There are monsters everywhere!"
When Kiryu Yiichi continued to walk forward, he saw a man on horseback suddenly pulled out a long knife from his waist and slashed at the frightened child on the roadside.
Blood spattered, and half of the child's head was chopped off at an angle.
The man laughed loudly: "It is indeed a sword made by An Gang!"
With his legs sandwiched between the horse's belly, the man pulled the reins and turned away, leaving only the body of the child with half of his head lying on the ground.
It wasn't until the man left that the child's parents came crying loudly, hugging their child's body and crying loudly.
"When you test the sword with a human being, you will see demons everywhere..."
At this moment, Kiryu Yiyi was very doubtful whether he had come to Heian Kyo or to hell.
When he walked to the child's parents, he saw them wrapping their son's severed head with cloth.
"What are you...?" Kiryu asked.
When the two saw Kiryu Ichiru holding two knives at his waist, they bent down in fear. They were probably afraid that they would follow in the footsteps of their own children, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.
"I'm going to send the child for treatment," the child's father said: "There is a powerful mage in Heianjing. He has very powerful spells and may be able to bring my son back to life."
Kiryu Yiyi nodded. If one kind of power is strong, another kind of power will inevitably appear. Since the world is full of demons and monsters, there should be people with high magic power.
"Then go quickly, don't waste time," Kiryu Yiyi said.
"Yes! Thank you!"
The couple hugged the child and left quickly, but the blood stains on the ground were still clearly visible, and the scarlet color was dazzling.
Kiryu wanted to wander around in front of the Rashomon Gate a few times to see if he could meet a woman in need of help, but after dark, there were obviously more non-human things on the street.
The hungry ghosts at least still retain most of their human appearance, but what they encounter next are just innocent ghosts with illusory bodies.
Phosphorus fire kept flying under the sky, and occasionally there was the sound of children sobbing.
"Son~"
A weak voice came from the side. Kiryu turned his head and found a woman with extremely beautiful appearance.
I met a beautiful woman and struck up a conversation late at night, and things turned out to be weird.
"Any advice?" Kiryu asked.
"I just moved into Ping An Jing today. I went out to buy some dry rice because I didn't have any food at home. However, Ping An Jing is too big and it's dark, so I can't remember the way home. I wonder if you can tell me the way back? My home is in Wutiao..."
Kiryu Yiyi looked at the paper bag in his hand and saw that the other party was indeed out to buy food.
"I just entered Heianjing not long ago and I don't know the way." He shook his head and said, "You asked the wrong person for directions."
Although I am not sure whether the other party is a human or a monster, I will not interfere if I can.
I've seen too much blood along the way, so it's always a good idea to be more cautious.
The woman didn't stalk her, she just said thank you and turned around to leave, leaving Kiryu Ichiru wondering, could he have guessed wrong?
Ta-ta-ta...
The rapid sound of horse hooves came from a distance.
It was a ghost riding a green monster horse that smelled bad. It had a single horn, a long pointed nose, and fangs.
When it got close, it reached out and grabbed the beautiful woman.
"Ah!" The woman panicked. The ghost grabbed her arm, lifted her onto the demon horse, and left quickly.
The bag fell to the ground, and the rice balls fell out, and the dry and hard rice dregs fell all over the floor.
Seeing the woman abducted by the ghost, Kiryu Yiyi bent down to pick up the rice balls on the ground and quickly chased after her. He couldn't really let a person be swallowed by the ghost.
Rush all the way to the outside of the city gate.
The ghost didn't actually run away. Instead, he sat on the horse and looked at Kiryu Yishi, letting out his trademark villain-like laugh.
"Put her down." Kiryu pulled out the Lion King, and the monster Nue released his demonic energy wantonly.
The overwhelming demonic energy condensed into Nue's illusion, roaring behind Kiryu Yiyi.
When you do it, use all your strength.
Kiryu Ichi's strength is obviously beyond the imagination of the ghost riding the demon horse. It stopped to lure Kiryu Ichi and catch them all in one fell swoop.
But the strength he showed might kill him.
"You are a powerful swordsman, and I don't want to be your enemy!" Gui Ye found that he had kicked the iron plate. He put the woman down from the horse very decisively: "My master is the ghost king of Dajiangshan. Today, I will report the matter to my master truthfully, and I will definitely pay you back in the future!"
After saying that, the ghost rode away on the demon horse.
The woman got up and rushed into the arms of Kiryu Yiyishi, holding him and sobbing: "Thank you for saving my life today! Please come to my home with me. Our whole family will repay you well."
"Didn't you get lost and forget how to get home?" Kiryu asked.
"..." The woman lowered her head, not knowing whether it was embarrassment or simply wanting to remain silent.
Kiryu Yiyi saw that the woman was silent, but kept holding on to his clothes and refused to let go. He said, "Let's go back to the city first. There are more monsters and monsters outside, and it will definitely be more dangerous."
"Hmm..." She nodded slightly.
The two of them walked closely towards the gate of Heian Kyo.
Gululu~
Kiryu Yiyi turned her eyes to the sound and looked at the woman's belly. She lowered her head very shyly and explained in a low voice: "Because I haven't eaten anything since noon, and..."
Kiryu Yiyi handed out the rice ball: "Eat what you dropped on the ground."
"Thank you very much!" The woman took the rice ball, took out one and took a bite. However, she chewed very slowly, making it difficult to eat.
"What, don't you like to eat?" Kiryu sighed and said, "In this day and age, it's not easy to have rice balls."
"Of course not, I'm just a little embarrassed to be looked at by you..."
"Ah, I was rude, then I'll turn around." Kiryu Yiyi turned around.
The moment he turned around, the woman raised her head. The bones of her forehead began to twist violently, and two sharp horns quickly grew out. Her face became ferocious, and her mouth opened to the point where she could swallow Kiryu's head whole in one gulp. .
"I'm hungry. I won't be full even if I eat dry rice." She looked at the back of Kiryu Yishi's neck. From this distance, even if he held a demon sword with a strong aura in his hand, it would be impossible to stop him!
The two sides are too close.
But the moment the woman opened her mouth and bit down, the sword flashed and one of her arms flew up.
After her arm was cut off, the evil spirit the woman turned into reacted, and she quickly distanced herself from Kiryu Ichiru.
"I've seen something wrong with you a long time ago!" Kiryu Yiyi held the Lion King and Red Lotus in his hand and looked at the evil ghost: "A poor-looking woman cannot survive in Heianjing."
The opponent's aura was hidden very well. If she hadn't changed back to her original form at the last moment, even the monster Nue inhabiting the sword would not have been able to detect the danger.
The ghost has a big mouth, and the collision of its fangs makes a "click-click" sound like a knife cutting things.
Suddenly, the demonic energy in his body declined rapidly.
"it works?"
Kiryu Yiichi looked at the half rice ball left on the ground. He was not sure whether the woman was a human or a ghost just now, and since he was interested in experimenting, he exchanged Momotaro's rice ball with the rice ball bought by the woman.
There is nothing wrong with people eating Momotaro rice balls, but not necessarily with monsters eating them.
He clearly felt that the other party's hostility was weakening, and he quickly bent down to pick up the remaining Momotaro rice balls on the ground and stuffed them into the evil spirit's mouth.
After eating the rice balls, the evil spirit's hostility completely disappeared.
"Two turns," Kiryu said tentatively.
The evil ghost actually turned around twice obediently, then stood still and looked at him quietly, as if waiting for the next order.
