Finally, I gained something.

Su Ziyu returned to his residence contentedly, preparing to set off for Sanhe Kingdom tomorrow, starting with the mountain boy who looked the weakest.

As for the other two monsters, Shinra is also called Netshinra, a monster that has been legendary for hundreds of years. Her strength is probably much higher than that of Yamado, so she is probably not that easy to deal with. The last one, Kiyohime, is even more unusual. She is a monster placed in the second volume of Hyakumonogatari, and is completely not on the same level as the previous two.

Love can turn you into a demon.

Qingji's story is quite sad. It is a story of extreme love turning into extreme hatred. The ending is that Qingji turned into a monster and burned herself and the person she loved to death.

——"If you can't live with the one you love, then die with him."

Qingji would not actively harm others, but it is said that all the men who met her were burned to charcoal.

A huge monster said to have a human head and a snake body (a dragon body).

The night passed quickly.

Su Ziyu slept until the sun rose before getting up. As soon as he woke up, the innkeeper's wife who was waiting outside brought him water for washing.

"Guest, the tuna you requested has been purchased."

"I'll bring it to you in a moment." The innkeeper's wife knelt in front of him and said softly.

Su Ziyu was extremely generous here, and he paid all the bills directly with gold. He had replenished his working capital a little in the previous world, and he still had about 100 kilograms of gold in his hands. If the size of the other-dimensional space was not limited, Su Ziyu would have been able to take away even more gold.

"Okay. Got it." Su Ziyu simply washed his face and said.

There seemed to be new guests in the inn, Su Ziyu went out to see, and they were two traveling merchants. They were sitting in the corner eating, and they quickly lowered their heads when they saw Su Ziyu. It was obvious that he was an important person, and they dared not offend him.

"Hey. Did you hear that?"

"Kyoto is haunted!" The peddler on the left lowered his voice and said, "It is said that even Master Abe Haruaki can't do anything about it."

"Now the entire Suzaku Avenue is blocked."

The peddler on the right was shocked when he heard this and asked in a low voice: "Really? What about my goods?"

"Go sell it somewhere else." The merchant said cautiously, "It is said that many people died! After all, money is not as important as life. If you have lost your life, why would you need so much money?"

"I heard that some princes and nobles fled Kyoto overnight."

"It is said that you may encounter ghosts even during the day on Suzaku Avenue!"

The situation in Kyoto has indeed worsened.

Su Ziyu was not surprised at all. He listened to the conversation between the two businessmen for a while, then stood up and walked towards the backyard. He didn't want to take care of the affairs of Kyoto for the time being. Su Ziyu's idea was to retreat behind the scenes and wait for things to develop. Maybe when the time came, the mastermind would come out.

Besides, the underworld is still looking for him, so the mess is left to the natives here to deal with themselves.

"guest."

"This is plum wine brewed locally. I wonder if you like it." Two girls, about fourteen or fifteen years old, came over with plates and said cautiously.

The innkeeper's wife noticed that yesterday's sake had not been touched, so she went somewhere else to get some top-quality plum wine today.

He is a very attentive person, no wonder the business here is good.

"Put it here." Su Ziyu said with a smile as she looked at the cakes and plum wine in front of her.

This wine is not bad.

It tastes much better than yesterday's sake, and tastes a bit like the bayberry wine I make at home.

Just when Su Ziyu was about to eat something, a bald old man came outside the hotel. He looked well-dressed and of high status, wearing a black haori and a sword for self-defense on his waist. He looked quite dignified. The old man walked into the hotel naturally, and the others in the lobby didn't seem to notice him. Even the hotel proprietress passed by him with food in her hand, but she didn't seem to notice him at all and didn't even bother to greet the guest.

The old man acted as casually as if he was at home. He didn't pay any attention to anyone else and went straight into the backyard, then sat down in front of Su Ziyu.

He picked up the plum wine and poured himself a glass, then exclaimed: "Good wine!"

"I haven't had such good wine for a long time."

In a moment.

Su Ziyu's hair stood on end. He immediately put his hand on the hilt of Meteorite's sword, frowned and stared at the old man who appeared in front of him at some point and then sat in front of him, drinking by himself. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Totally unaware.

There was no abnormality in his perception. It was as if the old man appeared out of thin air. It was only when Su Ziyu reacted that he discovered his existence.

But when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have heard footsteps just now.

However, some unknown force affected his perception, causing Su Ziyu to completely ignore it. It was only after the other party spoke that he realized the unexpected visitor in front of him.

This is a terrifying ability.

Considering the enhanced perception of Su Ziyu, it is definitely not easy for the other party to do this.

"This mutton is roasted well!" The bald old man in front of him seemed to pay no attention to his words. He picked up the slices of meat and put them into his mouth, looking like he was ready to eat and drink.

There doesn't seem to be any obvious malice.

If the opponent wanted to launch a sneak attack on you, he should have taken action at the very beginning.

Su Ziyu calmed down a little, put his hand down, looked at the bald old man in front of him, and asked curiously: "What kind of monster are you?"

The bald old man poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and asked, "What kind of monster are you?"

“I’ve lived this long.”

"I've never seen anyone with as much deathly aura as you!"

It turned out to be directed at me.

Su Ziyu thought for a moment, took out the book of Hyakumonogatari, flipped through it quickly, and then put it aside. He looked at the bald old man in front of him and said, "Nurarihyon?"

Another legendary monster.

His position is still behind Shuten-doji, and there is very little record of him by Aoandon, except that it is said that this monster is elusive and can see through the weaknesses of people's hearts.

This kind of monster does not harm people in legends.

Every time he appears, he goes to someone else's house to eat and drink, as if he is the owner of the house, just like a rich uncle. It is said that he is the leader of the monsters. If there is a dispute between monsters, they will ask him to preside over justice. There are few other stories about him. This monster appears and disappears in Fuso, and it is extremely difficult to encounter him on weekdays. It is also rare to hear rumors that he harms people.

The Nura in front of him smiled without saying a word, but his eyes became a little serious when he saw Hyakumonogatari. He lowered his head and concentrated on eating the food in front of him, as if he was the host.

This should be the most powerful monster that Su Ziyu has ever encountered.

"Why did you come to see me?" Su Ziyu took out a wine bottle out of thin air. After opening it, a strong fruity aroma came out, which made the cunning ghost in front of him swallow his saliva.

The fine wine brewed by druids can be said to be the finest wine here.

"Fill it up, fill it up for me!" The sly ghost in front of him looked extremely greedy. Su Ziyu completely ignored him and poured himself a glass. After drinking it all, he exclaimed with satisfaction: "Good wine! It really is a top-grade wine."

A shadow grabbed the wine in front of him.

Bang!

Su Ziyu instantly knocked the opponent's hand away, then took the wine jug in his hand and looked at the cunning ghost in front of him with a smile.

The sly ghost in front of him was not angry either. He looked grinning, raised his hand and touched his bald head, and said in a familiar manner: "When I passed by Kyoto, I heard that a strange man appeared, and he was also a master who was proficient in thunder magic."

"I just stopped by to visit him, but I didn't expect him to be so stingy that he wouldn't even give me a drink!"

An interesting monster.

Su Ziyu picked up the bottle and poured him a glass. Then the sly ghost looked impatient, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, exclaiming: "It's really a good wine!"

"It's a pity that the taste is a little bland."

"Fill it up, fill it up!"

"One gulp is not enough! Let me savor it carefully again!"

Su Ziyu ignored him, poured himself a cup, and asked casually, "It is said that you are the leader of the monsters. I wonder why you came to see me. It should not be as simple as just a meeting, right?"

"How can I be the leader of some monsters?" Nura stared at the wine pot in front of him and said with a grin, "The nine-tailed fox in Qingqiu is the leader of the monsters."

"I'm just an old monster who likes to eat and have fun."

Su Ziyu paused for a moment after hearing this, and then filled the cup with the sly ghost in front of him, and asked casually, "Nine-tailed Fox?"

"I heard you are from Tang." The sly ghost drank the whole bottle in one gulp and said, "Don't you know who that nine-tailed fox is?"

Oh shit!

It was really her!

The Naughty Ghost motioned for Su Ziyu to keep filling up his glass, and as he drank he said, "A remnant of the Nine-tailed Fox's soul escaped to Fusang, and rested for nearly a thousand years before it transformed again."

"You, a Tang person, came to Fusang for no reason? Aren't you here to look for her?"

This really doesn’t exist.

Why would I look for her for no reason? This kind of big monster is not easy to mess with!

"Did she do the thing in Kyoto?" Su Ziyu poured herself a glass of wine and said softly.

"Who else could it be except her!" The Naughty Ghost reached out and touched his bald head, shook his head and sighed: "The troubled times are coming, even monsters will have nowhere to escape!"

"All the fox demons in Fusang are now under her command."

"If there hadn't been an accident that year and if there hadn't been an Abe Haruaki who showed up, I'm afraid she would have already stolen Fuso's national destiny."

Ampere clear?

That's right.

Ampere Seimei is the son of a fox fairy, and the evil aura around him cannot deceive anyone.

"Ampere Qingming?" Su Ziyu asked doubtfully.

"You don't know yet? That's right. You just came to Fuso not long ago." Nura took a piece of cake and shook his head while eating, "Son of Kuzuya. The nine-tailed fox probably didn't expect that Fuso would have a genius who could achieve great success in Yin-Yang magic and was recognized by the White Dragon Spirit of Jinghe."

"Her previous plan came to nothing."

"But Ampere Qingming seems to have a problem. His inner demon is causing troubles. His inner demon has turned into a monster and has become a pawn of the nine-tailed fox."

The amount of information is a bit overwhelming.

However, Su Ziyu did understand why Yama, the demon of the underworld, had mysteriously disappeared.

If it was really the nine-tailed fox who took action, I'm afraid even Yama of the underworld might not be her match, as he is not someone who is easy to mess with.

As expected, none of the main missions are easy!

After saying this, the sly ghost in front of him stood up as if he had had enough wine and food, and directly bowed and said: "Thank you for the hospitality! Goodbye!"

Then he walked outside.

Su Ziyu had just stood up when the cunning ghost in front of him had already walked a long way away and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace of him at all.

"You come as you please and leave as you please?" Su Ziyu smiled and shook his head.

This big monster is quite interesting.

He still doesn't know why the other party came to find him. There must be some purpose, but unfortunately the other party is not willing to say it clearly.

Stealing national destiny?

The imperial court of Fuso is indeed extremely corrupt now, and the princes and nobles are fond of luxury and debauchery. Does this have anything to do with the nine-tailed fox?

That's right.

The Shogunate era is approaching.

According to the progress of history, the royal family of Fuso will soon become a decoration. Could it be that the stealing of national destiny mentioned by the Nuratari refers to this? It seems that the nine-tailed fox is a bit miserable. Fuso is such a small place, but she has to spend so much time and effort to calculate. It is far worse than before.

Around noon.

After paying the bill, Su Ziyu walked towards Mikawa Province under the reluctant gaze of the innkeeper's wife. He would not go back to Kyoto for the time being. Since there were so many monsters in Fuso, he might as well take the opportunity to gain more source power.

Yamado is a kind of monster native to Fuso.

As the name suggests, it is a kind of mountain spirit or monster. In China, this kind of monster is called mandrill. Originally, mountain boys should not harm people, at most they just make trouble, but for some reason, the mountain boy in Sanhe Kingdom is a little different. It has killed many people during this period of time. Not only does it harm people, but it also eats people. Many merchants have been killed by it. Now there are no merchants passing through Sanhe Kingdom.

The nobles and powerful people of Sanhe Kingdom gathered some Yin-Yang masters to deal with it, but all of them never returned.

This is Su Ziyu's target this time.

According to his estimation, this mountain boy is at least an elite monster, and maybe even a leader-level small BOSS, so he can definitely gain some source power. This mountain boy has gathered a group of little ghosts and is entrenched in a place in Mikawa Province. It seems that he has learned his style from Shuten Douji and wants to occupy the mountain and become the king of the place. I just don't know if he has the strength of Shuten Douji.

It is not far from Owari Province to Mikawa Province.

Because it was only the size of a county town, Su Ziyu arrived there in half a day by walking and strolling.

However, Mikawa Province is much more desolate than Owari Province. There are hardly any pedestrians along the way. If there are any people, they just pass by in a hurry. They are a little scared when they see strangers, as if they are worried about encountering monsters during the day.
