Chapter 408 Yin and Yang Mixed Up, Green Lantern
After Richard sat in the tavern for a while, a bullock cart arrived here soon. The bullock cart looked very small. As soon as it stopped, a small person got out of the cart.
A warrior next to him hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way. It was the one he saw at the city gate just now.
"Dear Sir Richard, I am Ping Jiangsheng. I learned that there are distinguished guests from the upper country visiting, so I specially came to invite you to my house for a chat. I hope you don't refuse." The middle-aged man said respectfully.
Richard also wanted to see the Japanese nobles of this era, so he agreed to it.
Hearing Richard's agreement, Ping Jiangsheng was very happy and invited Richard to ride in the bullock cart. Richard looked at the short bullock cart and refused directly.
The roof of the bullock cart was too low, and he couldn't get in at all. Ping Jiangsheng also found Richard's height problem and didn't force it. Richard didn't understand why these Japanese had to make the bullock cart so short.
The Japanese sedan chairs are even more exaggerated. The sedan chairs of Dongda are made of wood passing through the center of the sedan chair and carried. The sedan chair has a lot of space. The sedan chairs of the Japanese are made of bamboo poles holding up the top of the sedan chair. A small sedan chair is like a box.
Even if a short Japanese person sits in it, he can only sit cross-legged. It looks as uncomfortable as it can be. This is not called sitting in a sedan chair but suffering. I don’t know what these Japanese think.
Soon Richard came to a manor. The area of this manor is large and the decoration is luxurious. It is worse than Qinghe’s manor last night. After arriving at the manor, Pingjiangsheng arranged people to prepare a banquet.
The Japanese in this era are very detailed in the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Pingjiangsheng and Richard were also discussing these topics. After a while, Pingjiangsheng clapped softly, and a team of maids came in line. Just when Richard was about to appreciate this Japanese beauty, he was dumbfounded in the next second.
All the dancers were covered with white powder, their eyebrows were shaved, and only two short and thick black lines were used. Only one-third of the center of their lips were painted red, which looked extremely weird.
What Richard didn't expect was that all these people painted their teeth black. Richard then remembered that the Japanese nobles of this era had the custom of painting their teeth black, and women would even shave their eyebrows.
Seeing this scene, Richard suddenly lost the nature of communicating with them. Sure enough, these little days have always been perverted and distorted aesthetics since ancient times.
Just look at these dancers in front of you. Even ghosts can be scared to death by them when they go out at night. What kind of JB underworld aesthetics?
"Sir, these are all my daughters. If you like the one, let her sleep with you tonight. If you like them all, you can go all of them." Ping Jiangsheng's voice sounded next to him.
What the hell? Let these ghosts sleep with me? TM I'm not blind! I said why this little Japanese is so enthusiastic, it seems that he still wants to be vaccinated.
Richard was too lazy to stay any longer, and with a flash of spiritual light, Richard left here directly.
Seeing Richard disappear in an instant, Ping Jiangsheng was even more delighted, thinking that he had met a god from the Tang Kingdom, and quickly sent people to look for him everywhere.
With Ping Jiangsheng's actions, Richard was disgusted and had no intention of wandering around here. So he planned to see those Yin Yang Masters and monsters.
His mental power expanded to the surroundings, and soon Richard found a place where several Yin Yang Masters gathered.
Richard turned on the invisibility and flew directly to that place. After a while, Richard came here and turned on the invisibility.
"Who?" A shout came.
Then three men dressed as Yin Yang Masters rushed over.
The oldest of the three was about 40 years old, and the youngest should be 30 years old. They were generally taller than other Japanese people, about 1.55 to 1.6 meters tall. They looked ordinary and held various magic tools in their hands.
But the three looked very weak.
"Who are you? Get out of here!" The Yin Yang Master in the lead stepped forward and scolded.
"Don't leave now, don't blame me for being rude!"
As the voice fell, Richard also sensed a gathering of ghost energy. The next second, he saw a ghost wearing a domaru and holding a samurai sword appeared in front of him. A winged crow-headed strong man holding a long sword appeared in the air, and the other person was also a domaru ghost warrior.
Ghost warrior, Crow Tengu.
This is considered to be a relatively powerful shikigami among the Onmyoji. The ghost warrior seems to be formed by the soul of the dead warrior integrated into the armor, and Crow Tengu is a kind of monster.
The armor of the ghost warrior looks sinister and seems to be very powerful, but in fact, the domaru armor of Japan in this era is bamboo, wood and leather armor, with only a small amount of metal in it, and the defense is worrying. It just looks bluffing.
Richard didn't say anything, and waved his hand to send a fireball flying.
Seeing the fireball, the faces of the three Onmyoji changed drastically. The three of them completed the formation in an instant, and each took out a talisman and quickly made a seal and said: "Amulet!"
An energy barrier opened instantly.
The fireball summoned by Richard instantly hit the three people.
‘Boom! ’
With a muffled sound, the defensive formation formed by the three people was instantly broken, and the three Yin Yang Masters fell backwards.
At the same time, Crow Tengu also rushed towards Richard, and the two ghost warriors instantly disappeared and reappeared at Richard’s side, slashing at his head with the samurai swords in their hands.
At this moment, the phoenix that had been standing quietly on Richard’s shoulder jumped up.
“Cry!”
A bird cry was like the sound of metal and stone, rising straight into the sky.
The two ghost warriors who just appeared seemed to have met their nemesis, and their bodies were directly knocked away by an invisible force. The armor on their bodies became tattered and seemed to be broken at the touch.
And the Crow Tengu also trembled all over, and was blown back by the Phoenix's wings in the next second.
The three Yin-Yang masters and their Shikigami did not take a single move in front of Richard.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" The leading Yin-Yang master looked at Richard with horror. He never thought that the enemy was so powerful that even those big monsters could not be blocked by the three of them.
"Want to know?" Richard smiled slightly: "I won't tell you!"
As he said that, Richard was ready to enter.
——"Immobilization spell!"
At this time, the other two Yin-Yang masters used their greatest magic power to cast spells. Talismans flew out one by one, and then turned into energy to lock Richard.
But before the energy chains could fly over, they were blocked by an energy barrier on Richard's body. The next second, the spiritual light flashed, and the energy chains instantly shattered and disappeared.
The backlash of the spell directly caused the two to vomit blood and faint.
——【Vertigo! 】
Richard snapped his fingers, and the only remaining Yin Yang Master rolled his eyes and fainted directly.
After dealing with the three Yin Yang Masters, the three Shikigami also dissipated instantly. Richard went directly into the yard. Richard was not interested in the things on the Yin Yang Masters. He was interested in the books preserved here.
When he came to the yard, Richard found that there was a barrier guarding here.
"Tower Spirit, crack the barrier authority!"
"Cracking successfully!"
As the voice of the tower spirit sounded, the barrier in front of him immediately opened a hole as high as a person. Richard entered the barrier and soon found the library.
In addition to the library, there is also a palace in the barrier. Richard sensed that there are a large number of ghosts sleeping inside. This should be the ghost warrior Shikigami.
In Richard's opinion, these ghost warriors are at most evil spirits, about the second level, and are easily restrained. Just now, if Phoenix Qingxuan had not taken back some of her power, her cry would have dispersed those ghosts.
As a divine beast, the auspicious phoenix, it is naturally restrained against ghosts.
Soon Richard came to the library, where a large number of books were kept. Richard flipped through them casually. Many books were stories circulated in various places, recording one or several monsters.
In addition to these, Richard also found some onmyoji's practice methods, as well as talismans, magic weapon making, formations and other books. After a simple flip through, the contents above gave him a feeling of patchwork.
However, Richard did not dislike it and directly copied the contents. Most of the books in the library are about the Four Books and Five Classics, Buddhist scriptures, and Taoist scriptures, and less than one hundredth of them are really about practice.
Under the scanning of the tower spirit, thousands of books were quickly scanned.
After completing these, Richard turned around and left.
Just a quarter of an hour after Richard left, a dozen Yin-Yang masters hurried over. One of the witches came forward to check the injuries of the three unconscious Yin-Yang masters and breathed a sigh of relief: "All three are fine, they just fainted due to the backlash of their magic power."
"Fujiwara, you take people to send the three of them back to rest, and the rest of you come with me to find the enemy's traces!"
"Dare to make trouble in our Yin-Yang House, we must make him pay the price!"
"Yes!"
A dozen Yin-Yang masters immediately divided into two pairs and entered the yard to look for the enemy, but even if they turned the house upside down, they could not find any trace of Richard.
They even found that although there were signs of rummaging in the house, nothing was lost.
"What's going on? Why didn't anything get lost?"
"Who else is the enemy? What is his purpose?"
These Yin-Yang masters looked confused.
At the same time, Richard was going to visit several other places in the city. When he used his mental power to sense, he clearly felt that some places in the city were different.
One is the Japanese palace. Richard went to see it. There is a barrier set up by the Yin-Yang master and a few magic tools. There is nothing special. Then he went to another place with strong Yin energy.
After arriving here, Richard was surprised to find that this place was actually a point connected to the underworld.
In his eyes, it was just a small room, but it was connected to the gate of the ghost Kyoto. It was actually connected to the underworld.
In Japan, people and ghosts still live together.
Richard entered it. At this time, the gate of the ghost Kyoto was still closed. There was a barrier set up by the Yin-Yang master outside. Obviously, the Yin-Yang master also knew about this place.
And there was a ghost guarding this connection point.
After entering here, Richard saw a woman in red clothes. The woman looked cold and held a bone sword in her hand. When she saw Richard coming in, she immediately came to stop him.
"The underworld prohibits living people from entering!"
"Leave here!"
Richard glanced at her and found the same power in her as in the bull-headed horse-faced. She should also be a ghost messenger, but stronger than the bull-headed horse-faced.
Seeing that this was the ghost city, Richard did not intend to go in.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just passing by out of curiosity!" After saying that, Richard turned around and left the underworld and returned to Kyoto.
Then Richard went to other places in the city, where he found several more gods. Most of these gods are monsters, and humans built shrines for them and then worshiped them as gods.
These "gods" are quite powerful, stronger than those onmyoji. But they are not real gods. Their strength is only legendary, about the same as Qinghe.
It is not easy for monsters to become gods, and they will also be restricted after becoming gods. These gods have developed a power similar to the divine domain, which Richard thinks should be a miniature kingdom of God.
These gods will grant mana to the person who worships his shrine.
Richard did not enter their divine domain. Even if the divine domain is small, it is still the divine domain. In the divine domain, gods can mobilize mana continuously. The longer the divine domain exists, the more mana it accumulates.
Gods are almost equivalent to unlimited mana in the divine domain. Even if he can beat these so-called gods, he will not do these thankless things.
After Richard left, several "gods" in the God's Domain breathed a sigh of relief. Even in the God's Domain, they could feel the strong sense of oppression. It felt like they had encountered a natural enemy, and the God's Domain felt shaky, as if he could break it with just a push.
After leaving the shrine, night fell quickly. To his surprise, there were no pedestrians in the city soon, and the doors of every house were closed.
"The power of the underworld actually overlaps with the world of the living?" Richard looked at everything in front of him in surprise. Kyoto City actually overlapped with Ghost Kyoto.
At this time, only the imperial city, the shrine, and the place where the Yin and Yang masters lived were protected by the barrier and not overlapped with the underworld. Other places actually became Ghost Kyoto.
"Yin and Yang are not separated in this world!" Richard was very surprised.
In his real vision, Ghost Kyoto overlapped with Kyoto, but the ghosts in Ghost Kyoto could not enter the surrounding rooms. In other words, as long as the door was closed and he did not go out at night, he would not encounter ghosts.
At this moment, a green lantern floated over, and the next second, a figure in the green lantern appeared in front of him. The figure was a beautiful woman, wearing a green kimono, with a somewhat gloomy expression.
With her appearance, the surroundings immediately became quiet.
"Do you want to listen to my story? Or do you want to tell me a story?"
A series of ghost lights appeared around, and the green ghost lights set off the surroundings in a green color, which looked extremely strange.
"What story do you have? Tell me!" When Richard saw this woman, he immediately knew that this person should be Qingxuandeng, and he was also very interested in this monster.
