Ghost in Kyoto.

Above a collapsed palace, a woman in gorgeous white feathered clothes was suspended in mid-air. She wore a strange fox face mask and had nine white fox tails behind her. There was an obvious wound on her abdomen, which was oozing blood. It looked like the wound had been bitten by something.

"Hei Qingming! You actually betrayed me!" The nine-tailed fox's voice was cold with extreme hatred, and he said slowly: "Don't forget who helped you transform, who helped you break free from Ampere Qingming's body!"

"Haha." A man wearing a black yin-yang suit who looked exactly like Ampere Harumi came out. He looked at the nine-tailed fox in front of him with a playful expression: "Of course I won't forget it."

"I was originally just a demonic thought in Ampere Qingming's heart, an obstacle that he had to remove if he wanted to become an immortal or a Buddha."

"You helped me transform into a monster and break free from his body."

At this point, Ampere Qingming, who was wearing a black Yin-Yang suit, had a colder expression and a more ferocious face as he said, "But so what? You treated me like a lackey, and I have done so many things for you over the years. This is also a way to repay your kindness in helping me transform."

"Nine-tailed fox."

"You are just a remnant soul that escaped from China. What qualifications do you have to steal the destiny of Fuso?"

"How could I possibly be beneath you?"

"Even if you want to take away Fuso's national destiny, it is not your turn as an outsider to do it!"

The nine-tailed fox in front of him laughed angrily upon hearing this, and shouted angrily: "Ungrateful thing! Without me, could you have trapped Yama in the underworld? Without me, could you have released the monster Yamata no Orochi?"

"Do you think you can become a demon by using the Yamata no Orochi?"

"It's not a monster that's so easy to suppress! You'll suffer the consequences sooner or later!"

"Fake is fake after all."

"If Ampere Qingming were here, he would not be as ignorant as you!"

The words of the nine-tailed fox seemed to have touched Hei Qingming's sore spot. His face turned livid and he shouted, "I am the real Ampere Qingming! That guy is just a hypocrite! If he was really a perfect man, how could he have given birth to me?"

"He wanted to forcibly eliminate the evil thoughts in his heart and even denied his identity as a monster."

"Such a person will be defeated by me sooner or later!"

"Once I kill him, I will be the only Ampere Harumi!"

The nine-tailed fox continued to provoke Hei Qingming with words, while secretly healing her wounds and looking for an opportunity to escape. These Fuso monsters were also very afraid of her. In front of the nine-tailed fox was Hei Qingming, on the left was a man with black wings, wearing a strange long-nosed dog-face mask on his face, and on the right was a handsome young man who looked like a rich man. There was a mocking and weird smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was holding a strange wine gourd in his hand, drinking wine carelessly.

——"Big Tengu."

——"Shuten-doji."

Almost all of the three great monsters in Fuso legend gathered here, but no one dared to act rashly, because everyone present was afraid of the desperate counterattack of the nine-tailed fox. After all, according to the normal course of history, she should be the leader of the three great monsters.

What the nine-tailed fox was really afraid of was not the three people in front of him.

Instead, it was the huge shadow that seemed to be there and not there behind them. The eight ferocious snake heads were staring at the nine-tailed fox in front of them at the same time, as if they would pounce and bite her at the same time if she made the slightest movement.

——"Yamata no Orochi!"

This monster is the enemy that the nine-tailed fox is most worried about. He is different from other monsters. He is a monster in the ancient legend of Fusang. In Fusang, he represents the evil god and the god of disaster. Although the ancient myths of Fusang made the nine-tailed fox who had arrived here sneer, thinking that even the myths here are very small, the Yamata no Orochi is still one of the ancient fierce beasts after all, and it should not be underestimated even if its body has been beheaded.

"You will regret it!" The nine-tailed fox uttered a cruel word, and suddenly his whole body turned into nine. At the same time, nine identical nine-tailed foxes appeared and rushed out in different directions in an instant.

When Hei Qingming saw that the nine-tailed fox wanted to run away, he immediately shouted to the others: "Go!"

"Don't let her get away!"

In a moment!

The entire palace was filled with raging winds, lightning and thunder. In the exploding flames, the shadow of the Yamata no Orochi emerged, and eight ferocious snake heads simultaneously bit the nine-tailed fox in front of them. However, the nine-tailed fox's technique of splitting itself into two was extremely advanced, and no one could be sure which one was her real body. When the chaotic battle ended, only six white fox tails with dark red spots were left on the devastated battlefield. The nine-tailed fox actually broke off its tail and ran away.

"Damn it!" Hei Qingming shouted angrily and looked at others with an unhappy expression.

But the other two great monsters present were not afraid of him, and Daitengu said nonchalantly: "She cut off her six tails and escaped, so her strength must have been greatly reduced."

“It’s no longer a problem.”

"This deal between you and me has been concluded. I no longer owe you any favors."

"I'm going back to Mount Nachi."

“What happens after this has nothing to do with me anymore.”

After saying that, the great Tengu turned into a gust of wind and disappeared before his eyes, leaving only Shuten-doji with a playful expression beside him. He looked at the livid Kurokiri and shrugged indifferently, saying, "Then I'll go back to Mt. Tamba, too."

Watching the two monsters leave one after another, Hei Qingming angrily shouted: "You are not worthy of being a consultant!"

He entered the palace hall in a hurry, and soon he could see wisps of black aura pouring out of it. The Yamata no Orochi that was hovering above the Ghost Kyoto also gradually became more solid.

Maple forest.

From Qing Xingdeng's mouth, Su Ziyu finally learned some of the things that had happened.

It turns out that the source of all this can be traced back to 20 or 30 years ago, when Ampere Seimei had just gained the name of "White Fox Prince", but he did not expect that one day a phantom like mud would emerge from Ampere Seimei's body, and then he would turn into another identical Ampere Seimei. This black Seimei started to cause chaos everywhere after he appeared. He released Shuten Douji and destroyed the ceremony of sealing Daitengu at Nachi Mountain.

Qingxuande only knew that he had the support of the nine-tailed fox behind him, and she was not very clear about many things.

It was not until Yama, the demon of the underworld, disappeared that everything suddenly broke out.

"You have to be careful of Hei Qingming." Qingxuandeng looked at Su Ziyu in front of him and said slowly: "The nine-tailed fox has been planning this for decades, and I don't know what other tricks he has in secret."

After saying that, she took the Phoenix Fire to the gap between Yin and Yang to rescue Lord Yama, whom Su Ziyu had never seen before.

The sly ghost disappeared again.

This old monster usually has no sense of presence. Sometimes even if you see him, you will ignore him if you are not careful.

If he wanted to leave, Su Ziyu would have no choice.

This seems to be a natural ability of his.

soon.

The only ones left in the maple forest were the Suzi fish, the Gyuhuo bird, and the little girl known as "Her Highness Tsukihime".

Guhuo Bird seemed to dislike getting along with outsiders. After a faint glance at Su Ziyu, she sat at a stone table and quietly brewed tea, as if she didn't care about all the turmoil outside. The little girl named Yueji followed her obediently, and seemed to be quite content. She would look at Su Ziyu from time to time with her big, lively eyes, and then look at Guhuo Bird.

"What are you still doing here? Aren't you ascetics the ones who love to meddle in other people's business?" Guhuo Bird picked up a cup of tea and said in a cold tone.

Su Ziyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "I am not a cultivator." "As for meddling in other people's business."

"If you think so, then so be it."

Su Ziyu was too lazy to argue with the big monster. It would be very troublesome if they started fighting. Mainly, he was not very confident that he could beat the monster.

"Out there, the yin and yang are reversed and demons are rampant. Why don't you go and subdue the monsters instead of staying in my maple forest?" The Guhuo Bird had a cold and disdainful look on its face, as if it was planning to let Su Ziyu leave.

Su Ziyu couldn't help but ask, "What about you? Are you just going to sit back and watch all this happen?"

"What does it have to do with me?" Guhuo Bird poured himself a cup of tea without any concern and said slowly: "This is Fusang. Even if the yin and yang are disordered and they have turned into ghosts in the world, it is their own business."

"Do they dare to come to China and cause trouble?"

I guess he doesn’t dare.

Unless they want to personally face Lu Chunyang, who is known as the ancestor of sword immortals, according to Su Ziyu's guess, he should still be active in the mortal world, otherwise he would not have heard people mention him so many times.

In the land of China, except for some special periods, both Buddhism and Taoism have some extremely powerful people to maintain order.

In the last thousand years.

There was Lu Dongbin in front and Zhang Sanfeng in the back.

Even if there are some monsters and demons, I don’t think they can cause any trouble. Haven’t you seen that many monsters have fled to Fuso?

The biggest problem in China is always man-made disasters.

The Guhuo bird in front of him seemed to be very displeased with people who practice Taoism, and said slowly: "If there is nothing else, you can leave on your own."

It seems that this big monster really doesn't welcome me.

Su Ziyu was too lazy to stay here any longer, so he bowed and said goodbye and left the maple forest.

Is the worst outcome to become a ghost on earth?

That's right.

After all, the pollution level here is not particularly high. Other worlds have been able to survive for so long. Even if Fuso is completely destroyed, it will not spread to other places for a while.

"Where are the gods and Buddhas of Fusang?" Su Ziyu suddenly asked before leaving.

He had a doubt in his mind.

That is, although there are monsters and demons in this world, he has not encountered any of the gods and Buddhas in the Fusang legend. I don’t know if it is because of the energy level or if everything is just a legend of later generations. The most powerful ones Su Ziyu has encountered so far are just some mountain spirits.

"Gods and Buddhas?" Guhuo Bird looked a little puzzled when he heard this, as if he was very surprised that Su Ziyu would ask this question. He thought for a while and said, "I have never seen one."

"There are some earthly gods enshrined in the shrine, and they are worshipped by mortals as if they were gods."

"I once met an old man named Ebisu. He did have some Shinto skills, but they were not very powerful."

"Have you ever seen a real god or Buddha?"

Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "No."

"Aren't gods and Buddhas conferred by you cultivators?" Guhuo Bird said with a surprised expression, "Zhang Daoling's descendants conferred so many heavenly stars, but you don't ask your elders, but ask me instead?"

"If you want to see the gods, go to Han Shou Ting Hou Temple yourself."

Marquis of Han Shou Ting?

Guan Yu!

Su Ziyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he remembered that there didn't even seem to be a Jade Emperor in this era. That Jade Emperor was created by Taoism in the Song Dynasty. The one worshipped by China now is Haotian God, who is actually the personified deity of the sky.

The 'God' mentioned by the descendants of Yan and Huang refers to Him.

It seems that many gods were indeed canonized by Taoism later. No wonder Guhuo Bird looked indifferent when talking about gods. It is estimated that some gods appeared earlier than her.

This Guhuo Bird should be a monster from the Han Dynasty.

At that time, Himiko of Fuso had not been born yet!

But this guy is actually quite pitiful. He is clearly a monster from the Han Dynasty, but was driven to Fuso by someone.

The Guhuo bird, also known as the ghost bird in the world, is mostly found in Jingzhou.

No wonder this big monster mentioned Han Shou Ting Hou, as if her hometown was Jingzhou.

Su Ziyu felt a lot more relaxed after leaving the maple forest. He set out directly to return to Kyoto. Before he arrived in Kyoto, he saw a group of people fleeing somewhere else. Princes and nobles drove carriages and moved with their entourage, and common people also ran out with their children and large bags. At a glance, the flow of people stretched for more than ten miles, as if everyone in Kyoto had escaped.

What happened in Kyoto?

Su Ziyu quietly blended into the crowd and soon found out what had happened. Last night in Kyoto was a real night parade of a hundred demons. One third of Kyoto was reduced to ruins in the fire, and no one knew how many people were killed.

Kyoto is haunted!

After experiencing a terrible night, the next day, regardless of gender, age, common people or nobles, everyone fled outside.

The huge city of Kyoto became deserted within a day, and more than two-thirds of the population fled.

“Oh my god!”

"I'm so scared! So many ghosts suddenly appeared! Let's go to Edo!"

Su Ziyu was walking when he suddenly stopped.

Behind a noble carriage, two dark brown weasels were lying. They didn’t seem to notice Su Ziyu and kept saying, “Yeah. Let’s go somewhere else. I heard that Zuo Jing’s raccoon cat was eaten by a demon. This man who turned into a demon is so scary!”

"It really scared the monster to death!"

The two weasels hid very well. Su Ziyu stopped to take a look, shook his head, and went straight into Kyoto.

Are even the monsters preparing to run away?

The sky was dark over the streets of Kyoto. No one knew why. It was sunny outside, but once you entered Kyoto, it was gloomy. It seemed that something was covering the clouds. Su Ziyu could hardly see anyone. In the distance was a ruin after a fire. There were closed shops everywhere. Occasionally, pedestrians appeared but they passed by in a hurry.

In just one day, the entire Kyoto seemed to have turned into a ghost town.
