Chapter Nineteen Hundred Ghosts

Babies represent a kind of rebirth and purity, but extreme extremes often tend to become another extreme. Throughout history, as long as babies turn into ghosts, they will be absolutely terrifying, because babies' souls are clear, and if they have hatred, they will easily be all infected. The resentment formed in this way may even be more terrifying than old ghosts. Furthermore, babies represent new births, blessed by heaven and earth, and after death, they will be cursed by heaven and earth. The two contrasts make them become the most powerful and terrifying evil things after they turn into ghosts! For example, the evil baby under Xiao Xuan, when he was born, must make a Taoist priest like Lin Zhengying, who is deeply knowledgeable, sacrifice himself to pull it to death together!

Similarly, the same principle is achieved when refining this Shikigami that looks the same as a baby; this Shikigami is refined with real baby corpses, and even more than one baby. During his lifetime, Onmyoji first ravaged these babies inhumanely, forcing these babies to feel the ultimate human pain during his lifetime, and then died with the greatest hatred for the world. Finally, under the protection of Onmyoji, he turned into a ghost baby with fierce flames and refined it into a Shikigami, becoming a tool of combat power under his command!

At this moment, the two Shikigami stared at Zhang Yu coldly, and the resentment in his eyes was so strong that it made people frightened.

However, Zhang Yu was specially tempered by Xiao Xuan in his dream. Compared to the evil baby, these two Shikigamis were less terrifying, just like someone who had tasted the Manchu and Han banquet. When they went to other ordinary banquets, they would always feel less surprise.

The two Shikigami stretched out their hands, intending to capture Zhang Yu. An invisible force enveloped Zhang Yu, trying to completely suppress Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows. I wonder if it was because of his own castration, and he actually carried a touch of...the mental power turned into a whip and whipped it everywhere, directly slapped all the invisible power around him!

However, just now it was just an appetizer. The two Shikigami dolls opened their hands together, and a scroll was immediately pulled apart. The scroll was not big. However, there were countless characters inside. They could even be described as dense, and the scroll exuded a terrible shock!

This is not an ordinary picture, this is a picture of a hundred ghosts walking at night!

The Heian era in Japan was a dark and unlighted era. Humans and monsters lived together. The places where monsters lived and where humans lived actually overlapped in space, but humans were active during the day. Monsters appeared at night.

This feeling can be seen in the Miyazaki movie "Spirited and Away". Although the theme park that is deserted during the day has become a ruin, when it comes to night, when the lights are on, monsters appear one after another. The food streets, hot springs, and monsters appear at night, living a nightlife like humans, which is so lively.

In that era, in Kyoto, when night came, the whole road was empty. At this time, many strange monsters would appear, like ranks of temple fairs, with hideous faces, walking on the road, known as "Hundred Ghosts' Night Walk", some of which looked like broken teapots, pots and pans parade in groups of night streets. It is said that those who witnessed it with their own eyes would suffer curses and die for no reason.

Legend has it that on the night of the Ullambana Festival, a hundred candles were lit, and several people sat together, taking turns telling ghost stories. After blowing one candle, one candle will be blown out, and when the one candle is blown, a hundred ghosts will be seen walking at night.

The phenomenon of the night-long ghosts traveling in Japan somewhat reflects the social situation in Japan before the lockdown period. Due to the prosperity of overseas trade and the influx of handicrafts from the mainland, people began to not know how to cherish things. The older generation always maintained the concept of cherishing things because of the lack of supplies. They believed that the phenomenon of the night-long ghosts traveling in Japan was a world where Fushen came to the world to make trouble. It was not until the Muromachi period that the concept of Fushen gradually took shape.

Fu Sangshen uses the changes of yin and yang in the environment to transform objects into ghosts in nature and go to the world to cause chaos. Although people felt extremely fearful of Fu Sangshen at the beginning, soon afterwards, people regarded Fu Sangshen as a topic of entertainment after dinner, which greatly reduced the awesome mystery that they had originally had.

In Japan, it is said that an item will become an elf after being used by the owner 99 times, and if it is abandoned, it will cause resentment. The monsters turned into by this elf are generally called Fu Sangshen.

The Night Walking Picture of Hundred Ghosts is a manifestation of integrating this impression into the scroll. There is not only one Night Walking Picture of Hundred Ghosts. Even the Onmyoji who is slightly higher in the Taoist practice can draw a picture of Hundred Ghosts. However, the number and strength of the ghosts in the picture are determined by the Onmyoji's personal strength. It is said that the most terrifying Onmyoji can even depict the Hachiki Orochi and even the phantom of Amaterasu into his Night Walking Picture of Hundred Ghosts.

The picture of the night walking of hundreds of ghosts that Zhang Yu is facing now is certainly not as terrifying as it can accommodate the phantoms of the Yakio Snake and Amaterasu, but it is also extraordinary. The moment the scroll was pulled apart, Zhang Yu's entire mental power seemed to have been actively trapped in a spiral nest, and then entered a novel world. Here, it was gray, and occasionally there were low roars and dark laughters of ghosts, and the atmosphere was very terrifying.

"Haha, it's quite interesting."

Zhang Yu didn't feel too scared. He knew that his whole spirit was now trapped in this picture of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walking, but he was a spiritual strengthener after all, and his mental state was the most powerful and confident state of his mind. However, at this time, he couldn't help but make an orchid finger. After being discovered by himself, he quickly put his finger down. At the same time, Zhang Yu couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that if he didn't return to the main god space earlier and repair his body, he would really have the tendency to develop towards the east.

At this moment, the mist next to Zhang Yu dissipated and a mirror appeared. This was a mirror outside the cloud!

Yunwai Mirror is a mirror that can reflect the images of distant places, just like today's TV or the crystal ball used by the gypsy to divine. It is a kind of Fu Sanshen, a monster transformed into a mirror after a hundred years, also known as the mirror demon. Some people also say that Yunwai Mirror transformed into a cycai monster. When the cycai monster's belly is swollen and shines like a TV's image tube, it can freely show the scenes in the distance.

The famous monster painter Toriyama Shiyan once recorded that Yunwai Mirror is often confused with the Moon Mirror, because the Moon Mirror can reflect monsters that are invisible to the naked eye, which is somewhat similar to the strange face that Yunwai Mirror can reflect. It is said that on the night of the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the crystal basin is filled with water and placed the mirror flat on the water surface. If the monster looks like a monster, it means that there are monsters living in this mirror.

Zhang Yu looked at Yunwaijing and found that he was covered in blood and was listless in his eyes. His eyes were distracted. It seemed that his life was not long, and the contents in this mirror easily gave people an illusion of believing in it, as if everything presented inside was real. And it was so real that it could not be true anymore! However, Zhang Yu just smiled and reached out to touch his bangs a few times. He just used it as an ordinary mirror to look at it. He would not be fooled by a mirror, otherwise he would be too underestimated by Zhang Yu's ability now. Zhang Yu is not very strong in the Chinese team, which is compared with Xiao Xuan, the pervert. If it were not for Xiao Xuan, with Zhang Yu's current spiritual strengthening strength and the benefits and tempering gained in dreams, his ability should not be underestimated!

Immediately afterwards, a slippery ghost appeared in front of Zhang Yu, who humbly hit Qian'er at Zhang Yu and walked towards Zhang Yu step by step with a good attitude, which made people feel very familiar and trustworthy.

The slip-headed ghost (slide, fooling around) is a kind of Japanese monster, originating from the guest god (external god) in Japanese folklore. It is close to the evening, you must pay special attention to strangers who suddenly come to visit. Especially the brightly dressed old man, wearing a black Hoori, with a self-defense sword inserted around his waist, looking quite majestic. If he visits, don't let him in, otherwise he will suffer trouble. He may sit down and never want to get up again. This is the monster slip-hearted that he will not leave.

The "A Collection of Japanese Monsters" written by the well-known Japanese cartoonist Shigeru Mizuki also has detailed records. While the members of the family were busy organizing dinner, a person appeared from somewhere and walked into the living room swaggeringly, drinking tea as if nothing had happened. He even picked up the owner's cigarette pipe and smoked it calmly. Those who didn't know thought he was the owner's guest and did not dare to neglect it.

At first glance, his head was bare and not even a single hair. He looked like an old monk in the temple. From his outfit, he looked like a wealthy businessman. He walked leisurely like a rich man from a rich family, but he didn't know what his real identity was. Even if he asked him, his taciturn attitude was daunting. No matter who he entered, he would treat it as if he was his own, completely ignoring the eyes of others, and felt like he was here to cheat food and drink. When the owner of the house came back, he found something was wrong after asking.

Such an uninvited guest seems to be inhumane to drive him away. If he doesn't drive him away, he will cause trouble for the people in his family. It's really a headache! It is said that the monsters are always the leader, that is, the leaders of all the monsters. If there is a quarrel or dispute between monsters, they will ask him to be fair. In this way, it can be understood why his behavior is so bold and rampant. It is said that he is an octopus, an old man, with a bald kimono, wearing high-end and tasty kimono. On a busy evening, he will sneak into someone's home quietly and relax in his mouth and savor tea, as if he is at his own home. When the owner sees it, he can't help but thinks that "he is the master of our family". Not only will he not drive him out, he will also be warmly entertained.

The slippery scoop who knows how to take advantage of human weaknesses is a cunning monster by nature. What’s amazing is that he will not harm others, but stick to his own principles. He will only appear when everyone is busy, so that everyone will have no time to see his appearance. Perhaps it is precisely because he is the leader of the monster that he chooses a place with a lot of people to visit the people’s sentiments every now and then.

First, he was "intimidated" by Yun Waijing and then appeared. Zhang Yu seemed to be so stupid. He reached out and hugged the arm of the slippery ghost. He looked like two brothers. This made the slippery ghost speechless and his whole face turned blue. From the perspective of calculating people's hearts, this slippery ghost is really not as good as Zhang Yu, who has talented superpowers and specializes in psychology.

In this way, he walked around with the slip-headed ghost for a while. A monk appeared in front of him. The monk's face was very white and tender, and he was a master of enlightenment. However, Zhang Yu did not add any color and his mental power burst out. He turned into a big wolf dog and rushed towards the monk roaringly. This was the spiritual world, the world in the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts. These things were actually illusory and had no substance, so Zhang Yu could naturally make his mental power appear.

When the monk saw the big wolf dog, he ran away without even having time to say anything. As he ran, he turned into a fox. This monk was not a monk, but he was obviously a white sect master.

According to legend, at the foot of a mountain called Mengshan in Yamanashi Prefecture, there are hunters who make a living by selling foxes from hunting. Many foxes in Mengshan were killed by hunters. The last sad fox became the abbot in the temple. He said to the hunter, "Don't kill, I'll give you this gold, don't be a hunter anymore." The hunter stopped hunting for a while, but for the sake of life, he had to hunt. So he went to the temple to discuss with the abbot. The abbot still said the same thing to him, and the hunter went home.

But this abbot was transformed by a fox. This fox has lived in the temple as an abbot for 50 years. One day, the two dogs of the warrior who came to this temple to see the cherry blossoms (Taiming Guiwu, Guiji) saw through the original appearance of the abbot and killed the host, which was an old fox who turned into a host. Therefore, the abbot turned into a fox is called Baishu. If a mage acts very much like a fox, he will be called Baishu.

However, the matter is far from over. At this moment, after the fog, a woman aimed at Zhang Yu with a long bow in her hand. Her heroic aura even turned into a ghost, which confirmed the saying "If you live as a hero, you will be a hero in your life, and if you die as a hero in your ghost."

In ancient times, people called watching red leaves in wild mountains "Red Leaf Shooting", which was an activity that everyone valued from the palace to the common people. Japanese people prefer the vitality of "maple leaves are redder than February flowers". When watching red leaves, they often can only look at them and cannot quietly stare at the red leaves. It is said that the color of the red leaves is dyed red by the blood of the maple ghost. The death of the maple ghost is the day after the red leaves sacrifice.

It is said that this Miss Hongye, known as the Tokami Ghost Girl, is more charming than the Shuitun Boy.

The young Hongye was named Wu Ye, and his true nature came from the sixth day of Molizhitian (some say Freedom Heaven). Although Wu Ye, who was carefully cared for and grew up, was born like a flower and jade, unfortunately, he secretly matched the word "Female Fatale". A few years later, Wu Ye married into a nearby wealthy family, but the bride was actually just a clone of the witch.

Afterwards, Hongye changed his name and became Yuan Jingji's concubine (Lai Guang's grandfather). Soon, Jingji's wife suddenly fell seriously ill and ghosts appeared in the family from time to time. Jingji's son, who noticed Hongye's conspiracy, immediately chased Hongye to Huyin.

However, after Hongye arrived at Huyin, he gathered a group of former nobles who were dissatisfied with the court (mostly descendants of the remnants of the Pingjiang Party). They covered their heads and were domineering in the village, burning, killing and looting. The news reached the capital, and the Emperor immediately ordered Ping Weimao to attack.

The subsequent events of course end with "the power of justice cannot be ignored": Although Hongye resisted with the power of the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, Weimao, who held the sword of subduing demons, did not care at all. So Hongye, who had the merciful wish of swaying the world, had to temporarily hide in the six realms; hundreds of years later, she reappeared in the world in the image of a man, and her new name was: Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga almost ended a great era in Japan with his own strength and created a new era.

Being aimed by Hongye with a bow is naturally a very numb thing, but Zhang Yu hugged the slip-headed ghost, which is equivalent to getting a talisman. The slip-headed ghost has a relatively high status among the hundreds of ghosts. Even Hongye dared not take the risk of being injured by accident, and was still very frightened. This also shows Zhang Yu's previous cleverness.

He reached out and patted the face of the slippery ghost, saying, "Brother, you have to walk in front of you, otherwise I will be really scared."

The slippery ghost looked bitter. When he met this master who didn't play according to common sense, he had no choice but to walk in front of Zhang Yu, and consciously acted as a human body shield.

Gradually, it seemed that it was impossible to capture the opportunity, and Hongye's figure gradually disappeared into the fog.

After walking for a while, Zhang Yu looked around. The scenery was almost the same. There was a large area of ​​gray. I don’t know when it was to be. He kicked the slim ghost and asked, “Where is the exit?”

The slippery ghost wrinkled his old face into a chrysanthemum, and said in a crying voice: "If I knew where the exit was, why wouldn't I go by myself?"

"Bah, you think I'm stupid. You're just a soul mark. There's no entity. You know that you can live in this map of the Hundred Ghosts. If you go out, you will disappear completely without the sustenance of the Hundred Ghosts. In this way, knowing the exit is no different from not knowing the exit. If you told me the truth before, maybe I'll believe you, but you actually tried to deceive me with lies. This directly made me sure of one thing, that is, you know where the exit is, come, obediently, tell me, otherwise I might not have the strength to exterminate all the ghosts here, but you are right in front of me, just under my nose, I will kill you and wipe out your soul mark completely. "

Zhang Yu directly threatened, and because he had just cut off Xiao Dingding, his masculinity was leaking, and his whole body had a layer of feminine feeling and smell, which threatened people, and the effect was even more excellent.

The gloomy face showed a look of horror, and finally he had to speak, "There is the exit where the eyes cannot see."

As soon as he finished speaking, many big white wolf dogs and mountain boys suddenly ran out from all directions.

As the name suggests, the mountain boy is a mountain monster. It appears in the deep mountains and forests, and it often appears in the Kyushu Island area (not only on the border of Kyushu Island, but also in autumn and winter in other places). Because the mountain boy has many connections with Kyushu, there is also the saying that the mountain boy is a kyushu, and the more common view is that the kyushu will become a mountain boy after entering the mountains in autumn. Legend has it that after the kyushu entered the mountain, not only did the name change, but the body's form and nature also changed greatly, so the mountain boy and the kyushu can be considered to be two completely different monsters.

The god of the dog itself refers to the ghost of the dog. There are many sayings about the origin of this "dog god". Legend has it that if you place delicious food in front of a dog that has been tied up in advance, but you don't untie the rope for it to eat, the more it struggles, the more you want to eat, the more concentrated it will be. Then you suddenly cut off the dog's head and throw it far away; or you will sacrifice the dog's head first, and then throw it on the rocks in the sea and other places far away, the dog's dead soul will cause trouble and can be used as the god of the dog. Bai'er is a monster serving the god of the dog who looks like a child, and it is said that the soul of those children who are bitten to death by dogs.

These two groups of ghosts were numerous and strong. They attacked Zhang Yu together. At first, Zhang Yu was preparing to continue to put the slip-headed ghost in front of him as a human shield to prevent these beasts from coming. But unfortunately, it seems that the ghosts were also divided into factions. This slip-headed ghost is probably very familiar with the faction of Hongye, but is not familiar with the faction where Yamato and the Inu God are located, so the slip-headed ghost that was blocked was actually bitten by the two Dog Gods and swallowed it. Zhang Yu was also in a hurry, and just turned his mental power into an extremely thick whip. After waving it continuously, the Inu God and the Inu God were both pulled out by Zhang Yu. However, at this moment, the whip in Zhang Yu's hand was inexplicably bitten. The one who bit Zhang Yu's whip was not someone else, but also a ghost, called the second girl.

"Hundred Ghosts' Night Walk" records: A woman is unpretentious and urinates and defecates everywhere. A husband steals people. The obscene one is discovered by Inari and possesses her at home.

If a child has died (less than 2 years old), who kills his or her child, he will be possessed by his or her child. He will have a bite on the back of his neck and keep eating. He will eventually be eaten to death by the possessed person (or may be said to be thrust to death). He is a very dangerous monster. Even if there is a dead child near where you live, he or she may be possessed.

There are also monsters in famous folk stories. The position of the mouth is said to be on the top of the head, but it is correct to grow near the back of the neck. This mouth is larger than the mouth in front of you, and you can eat several times the amount of things. Your mouth is usually covered by hair. When there is no one, if there is food in front of you, you will use your hair as a tentacle and eat the food. At this time, the second woman was actually swallowing the whip transformed by Zhang Yu with his mental power, and looked like he was relishing. At this moment, even Zhang Yu, who has always been very calm, was a little panicked and retreated continuously. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
