Chapter 594: Palace and Thick Fog

After a short break in reality to recharge, Kamiya went to Kyoto again.

According to the geographical correspondence between the present world and the ordinary world, the monster city of the ordinary world is located between several villages under the mountains of Oeyama in reality.

With the cooperation of the little old man's main body and the outer body in the two worlds, Kamiya Chuan successfully determined the corresponding location of the Yamano mansion in reality. And he dug three meters into the ground there and placed another [blank casket].

In order to capture Oeyama, Kamiya's side invested a lot of resources.

Two Takama-ga-hara pass tokens were consumed, causing the craftsmen of the ordinary world to retreat to Fusang Township with their apprentices.

Everything was ready, Kamiya Chuan returned home and entered the ordinary world again.

Yamano mansion.

The empty basement was filled with wooden signs of caskets and several shikigami shrines, with yellow and green fluorescent lights flying, outlining the vague white "ghost figure".

"Aba."

The scout recalled his clone and briefly reported on Chang Shili's movements after Kamiya left.

The spies of the heavenly kings who were monitoring the mansion were still wandering outside the mansion.

The wood spirits were relatively well-behaved and stayed in the courtyard.

Everything was still under control.

"Another sacred casket has been erected in the basement, and it will be much smoother to travel to and from Oeyama. It won't take too long to return to reality, and it's time to show up in front of the heavenly kings again."

...

Bang, bang, bang!

There was a violent knock on the door of Shannan's mansion.

It was more like banging on the door impatiently than knocking on the door.

The tall and heavy stone door panel was shaken by the external force, and dust and stone chips fell.

The wood spirits who were resting among the dead trees in the courtyard were startled and jumped down from the branches one after another.

"Open the door." "Open the door."

The wood spirits opened the stone door noisily.

After seeing who was standing at the door, they all lowered their heads and rubbed their hands as if they were being punished.

The two Heavenly Kings of Dajiang Mountain, Jinxiong Tongzi and Xingxiong Tongzi, came to the door of the mansion.

"Where is your new master?"

Jinxiong Tongzi stared with his tiger eyes, and the asymmetrical pair of horns on his head shook.

"Master." "In the mansion."

The wood spirits looked at each other.

Their new master went back to the pavilion of the mansion yesterday and never came out again.

"Let him come out to see me!"

The fangs at the corners of Jinxiong Tongzi's mouth were clearly exposed, and he raised his foot to rush into the mansion.

Of course, the wood spirits did not dare to stop him and dispersed.

"Are the two Heavenly Kings here to visit me? But Master Jinxiong looks very angry."

But just as the two Heavenly Kings walked into the courtyard, the white ghost figure appeared with a little ghost dressed as a monk.

The tall Golden Bear stopped, the chains on his body rustled, and he looked like he was about to ask for an explanation: "Dog demon, I heard that you stayed indoors yesterday."

"Just heard it?" Although Kamiya's face was not clear, his vague voice seemed to have a hint of laughter, "I fought seven rounds in a row, seven rounds. Although I was calm and composed in the ring, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the two adults. I was just holding on. So, I need to rest well. Thank you for your concern, Master Golden Bear."

"Hmph."

Golden Bear snorted coldly.

Star Bear on the side took another sip of the wine in the wine bowl and smacked his lips.

That's right, "Inujiro" just didn't show up in Oeyama for a long time.

According to the surveillance of the king's spies, he has never left Oeyama Castle.

So it's not suspicious.

And Inujiro has a reason to say that after fighting seven rounds of round-robin battles, it's not too much to rest for a while.

"You released the female demons under Shan Nan's command yesterday?" Jin Xiong asked again coldly.

"Is it not possible?"

"Of course not, we are ghosts! Ghosts that exist to plunder and dominate! No ghost will let go of their slaves and spoils!"

"Let me make it clear that I am a dog demon. But since there are such customs and habits in Oe Mountain, I will abide by them next time in order to better integrate here. I will definitely do so next time." Shen Gu is still calm. In fact, Jin Xiong Tongzi can't give him any pressure.

In addition, Xing Xiong, who was leaning on the strange rocks in the courtyard and drinking as if nothing had happened, glanced at Shen Gu during the conversation and nodded slightly.

The drunken eyes narrowed and flickered.

Yesterday, Shen Guchuan felt that Xing Xiong Tongzi's attitude towards things might be a little special in Oe Mountain.

So perhaps the act of releasing the female demon imprisoned by Shan Nan reduced Jin Xiong's favorability, but perhaps it increased Xing Xiong's favorability?

Shen Gu didn't care much about Jin Xiong's attitude.

Anyway, no matter what he does, this big ghost will probably dislike him.

If he wants to gain a foothold in Dajiang Mountain, he can just stick to the beautiful one-horned female ghost sister.

"Anything else? Two Heavenly Kings?"

Kamiyukawa was still calm and composed.

"Yes." This made Jinxiong Tongzi even more annoyed, "You are the ghost general in Dajiang Mountain. Since you are a ghost general, do the work of a ghost general!"

Here he comes.

The second day after taking office in Dajiang Mountain, Jinxiong Tongzi came to assign work tasks.

As the leader of a force in Changshi, it has always been Kamyukawa who assigns work to others. Now it has been a long time since I have experienced working for others.

It has to be said that as long as you work for others, there will always be resentment.

"I have only been in office for a short period of time, and I haven't even taken as much benefit from you... Oh, I seem to have collected a lot in Shan Nan's basement. But even so, I still feel uncomfortable working for other forces."

Kamiyakawa cursed while suppressing his emotions.

Work is also an indispensable part of going deep into the country.

Let’s take a look at what Golden Bear wants to do first.

Seeing that "Inujiro" was silent, Golden Bear thought that he had finally suppressed this arrogant dog demon, so he pursued the victory and said, "The atmosphere in the palace has begun to become restless again, dog demon, go and clean it up."

"Palace? You mean, the palace to the north?"

"Otherwise, where else would it be? This was originally Shan Nan's job. Since you took his place, it's naturally up to you to do it! Don't think about escaping!"

"Ah this..."

Kamitani opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

But even though the "boss" who seemed like a disgusting person, Golden Bear, suddenly became cute.

Great!

Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was such a job? I was worried that I couldn't find a reason to explore there!

"Scared?"

"Inujiro"'s speechless look seemed to be of great benefit to Golden Bear Boy.

Kamiya couldn't suppress the raised corners of his mouth, but because he was covered by the Oni's leather coat, his appearance couldn't be seen clearly, so as long as his voice sounded a little embarrassed, there would be no problem:

"Since I am a member of Dajiangshan, I naturally have to do things for Dajiangshan. However, can you tell me what is there at the palace? I will be well prepared."

"The ghosts who died in the war have awakened again, and someone needs to clean them out."

"Ghosts and resentful spirits?"

"You don't have to ask so many questions, just do it. If you can't do it, don't be a ghost general."

After "embarrassing" the dog demon, the golden bear boy was so proud that he walked out of the mansion dragging his iron chains and shackles with a victor's attitude.

Kamiya then looked at Hoshikuma Doji, who was still in the courtyard.

The latter shrugged drunkenly: "Don't look at me, there isn't much I can tell you."

"So, what do I do?"

"Just like Jin Xiong arranged. However, in the past, when Shan Nan went to clear out the palace perimeter, he always brought his troops with him. But Jin Xiong has reorganized Shan Nan's subordinates. Now that you have removed the wood spirits in the courtyard, you will actually No one is available. Hiccup - Anyway, you should have noticed that the golden bear is making things difficult for you, so be careful when you go to the palace."

"Is there any danger?"

"With the strength you showed in the ring, it's not too dangerous. After all, you are stronger than Shan Nan... But if you go in alone, you might suffer a loss. The Golden Bear probably has the intention of killing your energy. Oh, yes Now, the cleaning work is only for the outer layer of the palace. After you clean up the ghosts there, you can come back. If you can't deal with it, you can choose not to show off and withdraw quickly. However, you will definitely be beaten by the Golden Bear when you come back. Just ridicule.”

"Outer layer? What about the inner layer?"

"In the inner layer, you can't get in even if you want to." Xingxiong took another sip of wine, and there seemed to be a look of sadness on her face that fleetingly disappeared.

"Is it because Lord Ghost King is in the inner layer?"

"Stop asking, go do your thing, and wish you good luck."

Xingxiong waved her hand, and the wine cup hanging on her left wrist swayed at her waist, and then left through the door of the house.

Kamiyagawa was left alone in deep thought.

"To the Golden Bear and the Star Bear, I am still an untrusted foreign monster. In order to suppress my arrogance, the Golden Bear wants to put me into the palace to clean up the work, and the Star Bear has no objection..."

Even though the Golden Bear Boy was a reckless man who didn't have a bright mind, the Star Bear Boy gave Kamiya the feeling of being restrained and shrewd, not as simple as an alcoholic.

"So, they must be sure that even if I am an uncontrollable factor that may cause trouble, entering the palace to the north will not bring any substantial harm to the country."

Originally, Kamiya thought that there was Shuten-douji or Ibaraki-douji in abnormal condition in the palace to the north.

But now he had to overturn that assumption first.

There must be something weirder in the palace than originally thought.

"The resentful souls of the ghosts. I don't know if these resentful souls died in the crusade of Minamoto Norimitsu a thousand years ago, but the current Dajiangshan seems to have to clean up these objects on a regular basis. In other words, the resentful spirits have harmed the current Dajiangshan. , at least on the surface the two sides have a hostile relationship.”

"Xingxiong is very sure that I can't enter the inner layer of the palace. I don't know where her confidence comes from yet."

"Will the things in the inner layer be hostile to the current Dajiangshan? Perhaps the disappearance of the things in the inner layer will be a good thing for Dajiangshan? Only in this way will the two heavenly kings have no scruples Will you let me, an untrustworthy ghost, enter?"

"It may also be that if the inaccessible inner layer is opened by external forces, it will be a good thing for the country."

"I can't understand it. I have to wait until I go over there to see everything before I can understand it clearly."

All in all, the weirdness in the palace in the north of Dajiangshan is one of the things that Kamiya must understand to infiltrate this force.

Now that there is an opportunity in front of me, it is impossible to let it go.

…

Kamiya followed the main street all the way to the palace gate in the north.

He narrowed his eyes and looked up.

The sky above the palace was gloomy, and a hideous hurricane vortex was clearly visible in the sky, like a huge, rotating black funnel cloud, madly devouring everything around it. From time to time, the roaring and screaming faces of evil ghosts would appear in the dark wind.

If you put away your sense of vision, all this will disappear without a trace.

Only the towering and majestic high walls stood in front of you.

"I am the new ghost general Inujiro. Lord Jinxiong ordered me to clear the resentful souls in the palace."

The group of hideous ghosts guarding the palace should have received the notice long ago. After seeing Kamiya, they did not stop him and opened the palace gate neatly.

Behind the palace gate, there was a gray mist.

The creeping mist obscured everything, so that everything in the palace could not be seen clearly.

"Let me see what's in here."

Kamiyakawa took out a word and walked straight into the mist behind the door.

After stepping in, the door behind him closed with a bang.

Kamiya didn't care and walked towards the depths of the palace.

Thick fog obscured the view from all directions. After going deep into it, it seemed to have no boundaries, like an inverted giant bowl, covering everything around.

The sky above the fog was shrouded in a deep, impenetrable black.

The creeping fog seemed to swallow even the sound. Walking in it, Shen Gu couldn't even hear his own footsteps.

And inside the so-called palace, there was no outline of any building at all, like an intangible but real cage.

"How long have I been walking?"

The thick fog in the palace blurred not only the space, but even the time.

According to Shen Gu's perception, the distance he had walked was definitely far greater than the diameter of the palace he saw in the Oeyama City.

Logically, it should have been the end.

But the surrounding environment remained unchanged.

There was only thick fog, thick fog.

The only difference from when I first came in was that the fog around me seemed to be thicker, sticky like pus attached to my body.

"What is the so-called outer layer?"

Shinya stood still, summoned Yang Lei with his left hand, and wiped it towards the Ichimonji.

The bright thunder tore through a corner of the thick fog, and the oppressive feeling of the environment faded a little.

"Little old man."

Shinya River tried to summon the scout's clone.

"Aba woo-chi."

The palm-sized little old man's clone barely appeared on the master's shoulder.

Shinya had inquired before that it was difficult for the little old man to go deep into the palace, probably because of the influence of these fogs.

Even now, the time that the scout's outer body can appear is limited.

"Can you still feel the situation of the monster city outside?"

"Woo-chi."

The scout shook his head truthfully.

The thick fog obscured the perception too much. Even if the little old man, who was as sensitive as he was, went so deep into it, he could not feel the movements outside here.

The same is true in reverse. The outside should not be able to find out the situation inside.

"Have Kinkuma and Xingxiong followed in?"

"Woo-chi."

Before entering the palace, Kamiya left another clone on the periphery to guard.

Neither Kinkuma nor Xingxiong appeared here.

"You really trust me. But I think the cleansing work in the palace should be very important, but this job was done by Shannan before, and Kinkuma and Xingxiong didn't seem to participate. Now it's handed over directly to me... Could it be that the ghost tribe itself can't get in?"

"Anyway, no matter what, if there is a special situation in the palace, I should be able to release the shikigami."
