Chapter 600 Are You Really Going to Send Me a Female Ghost?
Hiroshi Kuma: "However, I was just confused and angry about it, but I didn't do anything. The one who really tried to change and took action was Shi Xiong."
Shi Xiong, the Oeyama Tenno who was evaluated as "honest".
He is also a unique existence among the ghosts.
It is said that Shi Xiong is not a pure ghost, and his blood is mixed with the blood of the Kamo family, a human Onmyoji family.
He is a living example that humans and some special ghosts can give birth to offspring.
In a sense, it provides factual evidence for Kamiya River in this regard.
Shi Xiong grew up in the Kamo family since he was a child. At that time, he also had a human name with the surname "Kamo". Shi Xiong did not show much difference from humans in his childhood, except that his strength and size were much larger than his peers.
But after adulthood, Shi Xiong finally showed the characteristics of a ghost and grew ghost horns and fangs.
The human world naturally cannot allow such a half-human, half-ghost alien to exist, so Shi Xiong was secretly exiled by the Kamo family and eventually moved to Oeyama.
Humans living in the sun cannot tolerate Shi Xiong, but ghosts in the dark accept him.
In addition, although Shi Xiong has half ghost blood, he does not like killing. His childhood experience in the human world has given him a completely different temperament from other ghosts. Shi Xiong loves human skills, especially in the field of architecture.
After becoming the "bear generation" Oeyama ghost king, he took "Shi" as his ghost name, which also includes this meaning.
The Oeyama Castle that Kamiya sees now was built by Shi Xiong leading ghosts.
Probably because of this, because of his own identity and experience, Shi Xiong has his own deeper insights into Xing Xiong's confusion that "the world is violently divided into two".
He believes that killing and plundering are not the instincts of ghosts, but the influence of the environment.
There are evil thoughts among humans, and there are good thoughts among ghosts.
The existence of Xingxiong Douji, who has always lived in the demon camp but does not like to do evil, has further strengthened Shixiong's own beliefs.
So the two naturally became friends.
They did not agree with the idea of the leader at that time, Shuten Douji, who relied on strength to develop and fight against humans with all his strength. If Oeyama continued to rob and plunder, regardless of victory or defeat, the demons would always be the evil side in everyone's hearts.
It would become more difficult to guide everyone to do good in the demon camp.
Oeyama should be given new values. Demons are also good. This is the first step to declare to the world. In this way, one day, those who want to do good, whether human or ghost story, may follow Oeyama.
There are people like Xingxiong in the demon clan, and there are onmyoji like the Kamo family in the human world.
The Kamo family knew that Shixiong Douji was a half-demon, but still raised him up. Even after he showed the characteristics of a demon, he was not executed, but secretly exiled. It is for this reason that Shixiong never resented his human blood relatives.
That's it, people and demons don't necessarily have to fight to the death.
When the values gradually change, more people or ghosts who share the same values as the Kamo family and the Hoshiguma will surely appear.
At that time, will there be a world with opposite values such as "humans are evil and ghosts are good"?
Or, a world where humans and ghosts are equal?
But no matter which side it is, the ghosts will never be considered the evil side.
So, Ishiguma began to be active in both the human and ghost camps as the "Messenger of Oeyama".
Not for anything else, even if it was just because he had blood from both sides flowing in his body.
For what Ishiguma did, that kind of overly idealistic ideal, Shuten-doji at that time always knew, but the Oeyama ghost king just sneered but did not stop it, letting Ishiguma do it.
And the final fact seems to confirm that Shuten is right.
The gap in concepts is an insurmountable gap. With a gentle attitude, even if it consumes Ishiguma-doji's long life, it may not be made up.
While Ishikuma-doji was working in vain for the ideal of "peace between humans and demons", the endless fighting between humans and demons continued.
Finally, Mount Oe welcomed the expeditionary force of the human Genji.
The expeditionary force of the Genji family was not brought by Ishikuma and had nothing to do with him.
But just as Shuten expected, they would come sooner or later.
Because Mount Oe is here.
The result of the final battle between humans and demons is now known. Perhaps there are some details and secrets that are not mentioned in the legend, but the ending is like this, Minamoto no Raikou almost destroyed the entire Mount Oe.
Because the subsequent present world and the ordinary world were completely separated, the castle of Mount Oe was hidden in the ordinary world, and the remaining demons survived.
They slept and rested for a long, long time, until today, when the surviving Kinkuma and Xingkuma revived this famous demon force in the other world.
This is probably the story of Mount Oe.
...
After listening to Xingxiong's story, Shen Gu pondered for a moment, and then poured the wine in the wine cup on the ground: "Shixiong Tongzi is indeed a very strange ghost tribe."
It can be regarded as a tribute.
It is also reasonable to escape from drinking.
"Hmm..." Xingxiong raised the wine bowl in his hand, paused for a while, and drank it again.
"So Dajiangshan now chooses to expand in Changshi, is it also because of the past?"
Xingxiong nodded, then shook his head:
"Absolutely. The ghost clan cannot be without power... In short, this is what Golden Bear thinks. Although the two worlds of humans and ghosts are separated for some reason, no one can guarantee whether the two worlds will be reunited in the future. There will be a day of complete integration. If that happens, humans and ghosts will inevitably start a war again, just because the country is here."
"So the country needs strength. Jin Xiong thinks that if we can command the entire world and gather the power of ghosts and ghosts, we can defeat the humans in another world with force."
"I can't refute him. Sometimes... I think he is right."
Kamiya was noncommittal about Hoshikuma's words.
In fact, he knows very well that the power of exorcism in modern human society is far less powerful than that of the Heian Period in the era of symbiosis between humans and ghosts.
During the Heian period, there were the Tsuchimikado family of Abe Seimei, the Kamo family, the Genji family who were samurai but could remove spirits, and then there were wild onmyojis like Ashiya Michitsu who were not from aristocratic families. Looking at it now, it is speculated that the best of these characters have at least the ability to defeat the Aragami.
In modern society, exorcists who can independently handle C-level and above ghost stories are already the elite in the countermeasures room.
However, it cannot be said with absolute certainty.
After the separation of the real world and the eternal world, the human world lit up the technology tree and embarked on a development path that was completely different from before.
You must know that bullets engraved with Buddhist dharma can remove spirits. If the table could be turned over and directly engraved with Buddhist dharma on nuclear bombs, the lethality to ghosts and gods would be terrifying, right?
"Thinking about it this way, he seems pretty strong in this world?"
Kamitani complained silently in his heart.
Although he thought so in his heart, he said in his mouth: "So, Star Bear, you want to see it, right?"
"what did you see?"
The one-horned female ghost was more drunk than usual at the moment, and her eyes were completely blurred.
"A world where ghosts with good intentions can live in peace."
"Yes. But is there such a world?"
"I will." Kamiya nodded.
This may be the responsibility of the co-master of ghosts and gods.
Of course, his ideals are not so grand. When it comes to letting the Kaidans live in peace, the only figures that come to mind are the shikigami, the Kaidans at home, the craftsmen of Takamagahara, and the evergreen Crab Princess, Isohime, and Usamaru. Just waiting for someone.
None of these strange stories distrusted him and followed him.
Initially, Kamiyagawa may not have any clear reason for wanting to become the co-master of ghosts and gods.
Pursuing power, wanting to see a completely different side of the world, that's probably all. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the benefits thrown out by "Kaitan Monogatari" drove him to climb to the throne of God.
But now, it is different from the beginning.
"You are still as arrogant. You are not even the king of the world, but you can swear such beautiful words." Xing Xiong smiled and shook his head, and a few strands of soft and bright blond hair dangled in her ears, "But... ...But it’s hard to dislike him. Inujiro is very similar to Ishikuma.”
"Just think you're complimenting me. Speaking of which, is this what's on your mind?"
Kamiyakawa felt that Hoshikuma's temperament today was very different from usual.
It probably wasn't simply looking back on the past that made her so sentimental.
It always felt like something happened that affected her emotions.
"That's right, but there are others..."
"others?"
After Kamiya finished speaking, he didn't have time to ask in detail.
There was a sound from the gate of the mansion, the familiar sound of rattling iron chains.
Listen to this sound, it's the Golden Bear Boy.
Because I was drinking with Xing Xiong in the yard, the door was not closed and was completely open.
The two-horned male ghost outside strode straight in, and beside his tall body was a relatively petite unfamiliar figure.
Dressed in white, with a bright red silk strip wrapped around her waist, and a bunch of bells hanging from her waist, which rang with every step.
The one who followed the golden bear seemed to be a female ghost. With pink lips and bright eyes, her feminine, delicate and beautiful face has a natural charm.
The strange female ghost was wearing a white cloak with a hood attached to it, covering her head. The hood completely covered her ghost horns, only showing two bulges of fabric. Long white hair hangs out from it, tied loosely, and the strands of hair reflect the soft moonlight.
Seeing the golden bear and the female ghost in the white cloak come in, Star Bear Boy raised his hand and rubbed his temples, sighed, and stood up from the ground.
"Dog demon." Jinxiong's attitude towards Kamiya was still bad, "You are a ghost general in the great rivers and mountains. Although you have only joined the army not long ago, you were not allowed to participate in the expansion and crusade campaign, but you have the merits of clearing the palace and resurrecting the souls of ghosts. …”
Expanding towards the surrounding areas seems to be a weak spot in the country.
After all, you can plunder loot and slaves at will.
Jin Xiong did not arrange such an errand for Kamiyakawa. He would only think of Kamiyakawa when dealing with strange and fruitless tasks inside the palace like before.
Kamiya didn't speak. He sat on the ground and looked at the golden bear. Of course, he was mostly observing the timid female ghost in the white cloak.
Although she really showed "timidity", the seemingly natural charm on her face still existed, but it was even more obvious and made me feel a little pity for her.
"So according to the usual practice, you should be assigned a female ghost to serve you." Golden Bear said this, subconsciously turning his head to look at the white cloaked female ghost beside him, with a trace of uncertainty in his eyes, "This is captured from Wakasa Bay. The slave you have returned to is Tribulus Ji, and she will serve you from now on.”
"ah……"
Kamiya opened his mouth weakly.
Isn't it?
Do you really want to send me a beautiful female ghost?
Look at the female ghost named Tribulus Ji.
Her feet were wearing white foot socks. The delicate and elastic stocking material tightly wrapped the instep and arch of the foot, and the flexible toes were exposed in the front.
The feet that were supposed to be nimble were restrained from the ankles by a pair of heavy shackles.
His hands were tightly bound by a pair of black metal shackles, and it seemed that he could only perform some relatively simple activities.
Being controlled so humiliatingly, maybe she really was a slave?
But Kamiyachuan felt that things were not that simple.
The attitudes of Star Bear Doji and Golden Bear Doji are very strange now. Although they have covered up to a certain extent, you can still feel the weird atmosphere.
Xingxiong, who was still drinking just now, suddenly stood up. This was indeed an action that didn't require much attention. But based on Kamiya's understanding of her, if it was just a visit from the golden bear, according to her character, she should go her own way without looking back. That's right.
There is also the domineering Golden Bear. His attitude towards Tribulus Ji is not like facing a slave whose life and death can be determined by his own thoughts.
In addition, Kamiya also noticed that Tribulus Ji's state was also very weird.
He actually couldn't see through the general strength of this female ghost. He just had a vague feeling that "she is probably quite weak."
But if it was really a weak monster, with Kamiyagawa's perceptual ability, he should be able to tell at a glance how much it weighed.
"The shackles seemed to cover up her original aura."
Kamiyagawa's attention shifted to Tribulus Ji's hand.
Her arms were covered by the wide and white cuffs of her cloak, and only the exposed wrists were firmly fixed by the ferocious and exaggerated shackles.
The left hand is white and soft, with slender fingers. But her right hand was covered with bandages, and no exposed skin could be seen at all. The tightly wrapped bandages extended into her cuffs.
"This Tribulus Princess that I have never seen before, could it be Ibaraki Douji?"
Kamiyagawa's expression changes very wonderfully, alternately showing surprise, astonishment and speechlessness, but fortunately the [Oni's Leather Clothes] can cover up his facial features.
"Inujiro...sir."
Tribulus Ji spoke softly and saluted to Kamiya with some fear. The heavy and humiliating shackles on her body made her movements look very slow and clumsy.
Kamiyagawa:……
In my impression, the meaning of the word "Ibaraki" itself has the meaning of thorns and thorns.
no! Are you pretending to be a little too perfunctory?
It's a bit disrespectful to me.
