A complete body appeared before my eyes.
There was nothing inside it, but he instantly drew out the sword from his waist and used it to protect the Onmyoji. This armor seemed to be a kind of ghost. The tattered armor seemed to have experienced a long time, and there were some mottled sword marks on the surface. When Su Ziyu looked at it, it seemed as if he could vaguely hear the sound of fighting on the battlefield.
"Are you a human? Or a ghost?" The Onmyoji in front of him looked extremely alert and shouted from behind his domaru.
The man who appeared before him was extremely powerful.
He had never seen anyone kicking a stone with such power. If he hadn't cast a spell in time to open the protective barrier, he would have been knocked down by the stone on the spot.
"Guess!" Su Ziyu smiled and looked at the ghost general in front of him with his pupils slightly narrowed.
In ancient Fuso, only military generals would wear armor. One look at the equipment and you can tell that this shikigami might be the ghost of a military general in ancient times who turned into a ghost after his death. The Onmyoji in this world still have some tricks up their sleeves.
Su Ziyu's figure flashed by.
The ghost general in front of him seemed to stiffen a little when he was stared at, and even this Yin-Yang master was helpless. Before he could react, he saw a flash of cold light before his eyes, and Su Ziyu's figure passed by the ghost general, and the next second his entire body was completely shattered.
Ding ding dong.
Fragments of armor were scattered all over the ground. Su Ziyu picked up the sword with his toes, glanced at it, and threw it away.
The quality of this weapon is a bit poor and it was almost cut off by a meteorite.
——"Body-binding spell!"
The pupils of the Onmyoji in front of him shrank slightly, and he realized that he had encountered a powerful enemy that he had never encountered before. He completed the seal at a speed that was almost completely beyond his peak. Then, a chain-like spell composed entirely of energy shot out from the flying talisman and instantly wrapped around Su Ziyu's body.
"It's a bit like a spell of immobilization." Su Ziyu stopped.
Then, he took a deep breath, his strong muscles gradually bulged, and with a snap, the talisman chain made entirely of energy was broken.
Spells of this level couldn't even be broken by his Fortitude save.
Not to mention Su Ziyu, any old demon hunter could easily rely on brute force to be immune to this level of binding spell. According to Ms. Enid's judgment standard, the Onmyoji in front of her is just a first- to second-level spellcaster, and his only special means is to summon a Shikigami.
However, many warlocks and necromancers can do this, and the latter can even summon a lot of undead creatures.
"Who are you?" The pupils of the Yin-Yang master in front of him widened and his voice was quite nervous.
"Me? Just a traveler passing by." Bang, cracks appeared on the ground under Su Ziyu's feet. His figure flew out in an instant. He did not draw his sword, but just knocked the opponent on the neck with his palm.
The force is just right.
The Yin-Yang master fainted on the spot. At first, Su Ziyu was afraid that he would use too much force and break the opponent's neck.
After all, he just put on the Fire Giant Belt today.
"It seems that agility enhancement can improve my ability to control strength." Su Ziyu squatted down and picked up a yin-yang fish jade pendant.
Not bad!
It is actually a strange thing.
"Strange item: Yin Yang Jade."
"Rank: First Rank."
"Effect: A rare item made of Yin Jade and Yang Jade. It can calm the mind to a certain extent and has a certain deterrent effect on weak ghosts."
Is this the Onmyoji’s talisman?
Su Ziyu picked up a piece of talisman paper, glanced at it, and quickly lost interest and threw it away.
He had no interest in any method that required materials to cast spells, because the battles that Su Ziyu faced were very extreme, especially in the technological plane. By the time you took out the talisman paper, the bullets would probably have overwhelmed you.
However, Onmyoji's protective barrier is very interesting, a bit like the psychic protection barrier of Su Ziyu.
——"Spiritual Vision!"
Su Ziyu stood up and walked into the collapsed Rashomon. In his field of vision, a large number of translucent barriers appeared, and there were also many talismans engraved on the stones that were invisible to the naked eye of mortals. He walked all the way to the center of Rashomon. Then Su Ziyu's sight became hazy, as if the world was separated from the world, and the space in front of him became chaotic to a certain extent.
In the broken space vision.
Su Ziyu once again saw a gloomy ancient city - Ghost Kyoto!
"It looks like Rashomon is really connected to the underworld." Su Ziyu did not run around because he was afraid of accidentally destroying the barrier set up by the Onmyojis.
He seemed to have realized something.
When Su Ziyu turned his head and looked behind him, he saw an enchanting woman in a bright red kimono. The woman's exposed skin was as pale as bone, and her long and sharp fingernails were painted dark blue. She was standing at the intersection about 200 meters away from Su Ziyu, wearing a pendant made of bones on her head, and holding a sword in her hand that looked like it was made from human spine.
When Su Ziyu looked at her, she also saw Su Ziyu in front of her.
"Mortal? Or ghost?"
"You smell like Qingxuandeng!" The enchanting woman opened her scarlet pupils, licked the corner of her mouth with her slender tongue, and slowly pulled out the bone sword in her hand.
A little bit stronger.
The other party seemed to be guarding here. When Su Ziyu opened her spiritual vision and saw Ghost Kyoto, she also entered her field of vision.
"Lord Yama forbids mortals from entering the Ghost City!" The enchanting woman in front drew her sword and pointed it at Su Ziyu, saying in a serious tone, "Leave now! Or die!"
Yama?
Also got some useful information.
Su Ziyu glanced at her with a frown on his face. He had no intention of taking action for the time being. It was not because of this enchanting woman herself, but because of the Lord Yama she mentioned.
Without knowing much about this world, he didn't want to provoke some obviously very powerful guys.
It seems that Qingxuande has a very high status in Ghost Kyoto.
"I'm just passing by." Su Ziyu smiled, turned and left Rashomon.
As the power of his clairvoyance shut down, everything he saw gradually disappeared.
The strange woman has disappeared, and everything in Ghost Kyoto has gradually been covered up. What appears before the eyes is just a collapsed city gate.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps coming.
"You've made it here so quickly?" Su Ziyu casually put on an invisibility cloak and quickly disappeared from the spot.
Half a minute later.
Three men dressed as Onmyoji appeared in front of them, along with a beautiful witch. They quickly checked the Onmyoji's injuries and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay. Rongsheng just fainted."
"Jiping."
"You send him back. I'll look for the enemy." Among the people who came, there seemed to be a pair of brothers. They looked very handsome and seemed to be very powerful. They summoned several Shikigami with a raise of their hands.
These two seem to be the sons of Ampere Haruaki.
The priestess next to him was not very clear, but she seemed to be not weak either.
Su Ziyu took a few glances in the dark and then left. Now was not the time to meet the Onmyoji. He was waiting for a suitable opportunity to meet Ampere Haruaki, who was said to be the most powerful Onmyoji of this era.
Ampere Haruaki seems to have been staying in the palace recently. He is now highly valued by the Fuso royal family.
Idle and bored.
Su Ziyu went to the north of Kyoto, where princes and nobles lived. He originally planned to see the style of the Fuso and Heian periods and appreciate the beauties of that era, but when he saw a bunch of people who painted their teeth black, he completely lost interest.
He almost forgot that the princes and nobles of Fusang in this era had the custom of blackening their teeth, and some women would even shave their eyebrows completely.
I didn't quite appreciate the perilla fish, so I just walked around for a while and then left.
However, the customs and culture of Kyoto are quite good. The Japanese seem to like cherry blossoms very much. Along the way, Su Ziyu saw many cherry blossom trees and even smelled a faint scent of evil.
It must be a demonic spirit.
Su Ziyu couldn't really tell the difference, but demon hunters, ghosts, and monsters all had a unique smell. The smell of demon hunters was very unique, probably stronger than that of these monsters. If Fantsin came to this world, he would most likely be mistaken for a giant monster in human form.
There are really many monsters in this era.
Kyoto is a place where humans, demons and monsters live together, but everything seems relatively normal during the day.
Some more merchants came to the inn.
Su Ziyu ate something simple and then prepared to wait until dark before taking any action.
During the day.
Those monsters seemed to have hidden themselves. The clover emblem gave them detection several times, but Su Ziyu didn't find any targets.
Night falls.
As the sky gradually darkened, there were very few pedestrians on the road.
Every house here is closed, the whole street is empty, the hotel has also closed early, there is not even a patroller to be seen on the road, the surroundings are so quiet that it is a bit too quiet.
“Something is wrong!”
Su Ziyu frowned and looked around. He felt as if he was back in the ghost Kyoto, but he could indeed hear faint human voices and some lights in the distance.
It felt as if Kyoto and Ghost Kyoto overlapped at nightfall.
——"Spiritual Vision!"
There was an overlapping phenomenon in Su Ziyu's field of vision. What he saw in the clairvoyant state was Ghost Kyoto, and what he saw in the normal state was Kyoto. Faint will-o'-the-wisp fires were emerging, as if many little ghosts were running around in Ghost Kyoto.
An invisible space barrier separates Kyoto and Ghost Kyoto, but this barrier is very fragile, as if it can be broken with a slight poke of the finger.
He strolled along the street.
Just when Su Ziyu was about to go somewhere else, suddenly a clear female voice came to his ears.
"Lord Su."
"We meet again!" Qingxuandeng, wearing a light green kimono, stood in the air not far away with a sweet smile, leaning lazily beside the faintly burning green lamp.
Tonight, behind her there were two maids who were also wearing kimonos. One had flowers and birds embroidered on her clothes, and the other had cherry blossoms embroidered on her clothes. They were also wearing strange ghost face masks, with long black hair falling to their waists. They looked extremely humble, with their hands crossed and hanging down to their abdomen, and a pair of sharp black nails slightly retracted.
"The night view is really nice tonight." Su Ziyu said with a forced smile.
I actually met Qingxuande again.
He clearly bounced off the will-o'-the-wisp that the other party had imprinted on him, but he didn't expect that Qingxuande would still have a way to find him.
Is this big monster targeting him?
"Yes. The moonlight tonight is indeed beautiful." Qing Xingdeng looked up at the blood-red crescent moon in the sky and said in an ethereal and cheerful voice: "After we parted last night, I missed Master Su so much."
"So tonight I couldn't help but come and invite Lord Su to go out with me."
"I wonder if Lord Su would be so kind as to grant me the honor?"
After saying that, Qing Xingdeng looked at Su Ziyu in front of him, and wisps of flames appeared in his pair of dark green pupils.
Do you look like you could refuse?
Su Ziyu frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Where to go?"
Anyway, I still have a long time to stay in this world, so there is no need to rush to do things. This is a good opportunity to find out about the situation of the monsters in this world.
"There is a great hot spring near Mt. Tanba." Qingxuandeng fell lightly like a fairy, and a moth fire was scattered when her sleeves were waved. She looked at Su Ziyu in front of her and smiled sweetly, "Why don't we invite Master Su to go for a trip tonight?"
Mount Tamba?
Su Ziyu frowned when he heard this. He had heard of this place during the day. It was said that there was a big monster named Shuten-doji there.
interesting.
What on earth does this Qingxuandeng want to do?
"Okay." Su Ziyu suddenly smiled.
Anyway, this place is something he must visit. Since the night is so beautiful today and a beautiful woman is inviting him, why not go and take a look?
Shuten-doji.
According to Fuso legend, the leader of the demon clan in the Heian period is a demon with the appearance of a handsome boy. It is said that he seduces virgins, eats their flesh and drinks their blood after seducing them.
Because he loved drinking, he was called Shuten-doji.
"Please." Qing Xingdeng couldn't help but smile after Su Ziyu agreed, and raised his hand to make an invitation gesture.
A carriage with will-o'-the-wisp fire burning all around came speeding over.
Qing Xingdeng tiptoed to sit on it, then looked at Su Ziyu with a faint smile. Wisps of ghost fire were swaying, and in front of the carriage was a paper horse burning with a faint blue flame.
Su Ziyu stood up and walked to the carriage. A chill made his muscles slightly tense.
The carriage sped along the street in the Ghost Kyoto. Along the way, many demons and monsters could be seen, including little demons wearing straw raincoats, dark shadows hidden in the walls, and a one-eyed monster floating in the clouds. They all avoided Qingxuande's carriage, as if they were extremely afraid of this big monster.
