462, Shuten-doji (1/2)
Humanity and evil can never be at odds with each other.
The suppression caused by Li Gui on people is all-round.
Starting from the ferocious level, their charisma can make people feel like they are on the verge of death, and many people with weak constitutions will die completely as a result!
Just relying on one's own strength, not to mention overpowering Li Gui,
Even if he barely fights against Li Gui, he still can't do it!
However, now, Jianzhen Shadow keeps claiming that he has mastered a method of "achievement that can subdue Li Gui by himself"!
The key is that Su Wu repeatedly investigated various legends about Jianzhen and discovered that Jianzhen might not have ever controlled Ligui or worn the armor of a stranger!
But one of its 'shadows' has the same thinking ability as ordinary people.
It's just that this kind of ability can only be possessed by some extremely terrifying Li Gui!
This shows that what Jianzhen Shadow said is quite credible!
Even if the other party’s mastery of achievement methods is not comprehensive,
There may be a deeper trap hidden behind it,
Su Wudu decided to give it a try!
In the "Past Life of Kitchen God's Disciple", various changes occurred on the terma paper, and several "diaries" of a scholar even appeared on it.
That scholar most likely mastered a method of imprisoning Li Wei through words in the end.
The old Taoist priest also has the "Great Method of Planting Taoism in Demonic Body" for Su Wu to practice.
At present, the true shadow provides another possible path.
Su Wu may not have the strength to try the path provided by Jianzhen Shadow at the moment, but he can completely master the scholars' method of imprisoning Li Wei by using "Li Wei's writing".
Then learn the ‘Great Method of Demonic Body Planting’,
After you become truly powerful, try the path provided by the Shadow Appraisal!
Su Wu had a plan for every step of this!
He raised his head and stared at Jian Zhen's withered face, his eyes as silent as a deep pool, and asked: "My heart is actually leaning towards what the Master said, but if I am asked to gather nine major veins of minerals to forge weapons, I will also The risks are quite high.
In this way, how can the Master convince me that the Master does have this method of achievement?
Also, the Master made a promise to me, what proof is there for this promise? "
"The string of Buddhist beads in your hand is the certificate I gave you." Jianzhen Shadow pointed to the Buddhist beads in Su Wu's hand, and continued, "One day, when you return to Daming Temple in the Tang Dynasty, the beads will be Will manifest the 'Nine Mudras'.
If you complete the nine mudras, another shadow of my true self will appear.
At that time, I will teach you the Dharma. "
Jianzhen's eyes moved slightly, he raised his eyes to look at the endless blood-stained moonlight in the sky, and whispered: "As for the proof that I have achieved this method - if I hadn't isolated the power of 'Half Month Reading' in the sky ,
What do you think will happen to you at this time?
This is proof! "
Su Wu followed Jianzhen's gaze and looked up at the sky.
In the sky, boundless blood light surrounded the bleeding moon.
The moon is bleeding profusely.
Under the full moon,
There was a vaguely red figure, sitting cross-legged, with vague handprints on his hands.
He sat in the void, resisting the boundless moonlight shining downwards!
Su Wu nodded, no longer having any doubts, and said: "I promise the Master that we can gather nine mineral veins to forge weapons, cool down the catastrophe of resentment, and prevent Tamamo Mae from resurrecting."
“The sources of the nine mineral veins are scattered in the nine countries including Ise, Mino, and Izu.
You don’t have to go to the Nine Kingdoms in person. You can send your men to the various places and find my statue in the ‘Lü Zong Temple’ in the various places - my statue is made from the origin of the nine mineral veins.
Take these nine statues to Black Sky Plains.
Take the 'Dashang Infant Stone' from the jade-colored mountain, smelt these ten stones together, and in the realm of harmony between heaven and man, forge a weapon that combines nine major mineral veins!
but,
Before doing these things,
You must first escape from Zhaoti Temple. Jianzhen looked at Su Wu and said, "I have been practicing in Zhaoti Temple for the longest time, and all kinds of evil have spawned here, not just Yuanxingmen."
After you walk out of Yuanxing Gate, Ban Yue Du will be isolated here, so you don't have to worry about the power attack of 'Ban Yue Du'.
But be careful, there are other serious and strange invasions that arise in the temple.
Among them, there are three main ones: "Female Monk", "Huo Qianfang" and "Laughing Bell". "
As soon as Su Wu heard Jian Zhen's words, he understood.
The various horrific legends about Zhaoti Temple are not just what people in Kyoto say based on hearsay.
But it is true!
The female monk, Huo Qianfang, Xiaozhong, and Yuanxingmen are all the terrifying and mysterious things that people in Kyoto have rumored to be lurking in Zhaoti Temple!
…
The outlines of the mountains loomed in the darkness.
Deep in the dense forest under the high hill, a quiet lake flows silently.
Around the quiet lake, there were lampposts standing one after another. The flames on the lampposts were blazing, illuminating the things floating in the lake - swollen female corpses floating in the lake.
They were covered in wounds and suffered inhuman torture before they died.
"Brother, Shuten Doji is in the family community by the lake?"
Minamoto Yoritomo retracted his gaze from the depths of the forest and turned to the honest-looking young man next to him.
The young man is Minamoto Yori Suzu, the son of the deceased head of the family, ‘Minamoto Norai Tsuyoshi’.
He looked at the quiet lake deep in the dense forest, with a look of nervousness in his eyes. Many ghost warriors surrounded him, which formed a clear contrast with Minamoto Yoritomo, who had only a few people around him.
Bring a group of ghost warriors here,
They then turned to Minamoto no Yori Sutra.
"Yes." Hearing Minamoto Yoritomo's question, a smile appeared on Minamoto Yoritomo's face. He looked at his cousin, who had been trained in Izu for a long time, with no sense of alienation in his eyes, but full of affection.
Even now when he hesitates,
He did not show any impatience when questioning Minamoto Yoritomo, who did not have much status in the family.
"After Shuten-douji unexpectedly left the Taira clan, he divined its traces for Seimei Onmyoji. We have previously mastered a method of making sacrifices that can be used to worship 'Shuten-douji'.
With that kind of sacrifice, Shuten Doji was temporarily kept in our family community.
But only sacrifices are offered,
Without the ritual of worship, it cannot become our household god and be used by us.
The reason why my father wanted to ask An Gang Swordsmith to forge a supreme sword was to destroy its 'divine clothes' and even damage it itself, making it impossible for the Ping clan to use it.
Even if Ping finds it again,
You can only get a mutilated Shuten boy! "
Minamoto Yoritomo nodded while listening to what Minamoto Yoritsuke said. After the other party finished speaking, he said: "So, why don't you take action, brother? The situation is critical now, and the rise and fall of the Gen clan depends on my brother's hands.
At this time, why did the brother hesitate to move forward? "
His eyes fell on the 'Doji-Kiri' tachi in Minamoto no Yoritsune's hand.
As expected, that supreme sword was given to his own son by Minamoto Norai.
Minamoto Norimei looked hesitant, looked at the Jinghu Lake in the distance, and then looked at the ghost warriors around.
Minamoto Yoritomo observed his expression calmly, and he understood what he saw. He continued: "How about I accompany my brother to the family club? If something happens to Shuten-douji, as a ghost warrior, I can also protect him. Brother one or two.
I am also a son of Genji,
Unlike other ghost warriors, there are many restrictions on entering the family community. "
After Minamoto no Yoritomo said these words, Minamoto no Yorisu looked much more relaxed. He nodded repeatedly and approached Minamoto no Yoritomo: "That's exactly what I mean! With our brothers working together, it's no problem to kill Shuten Doji!"
The revival of Genji is just around the corner! "
Minamoto Yoritomo sneered in his heart, but nodded firmly in response.
He glanced at Tsuchimikado Seimei among the ghost warriors, and Tsuchimikado Seimei gave him a reassuring look.
The night is vast.
Minamoto no Yoritomo drew his sword and ran into the dense forest following the only remaining direct bloodline of Genji.
Along the way, Minamoto no Yori-kyeong kept talking, and his voice could not hide the anxiety and nervousness.
But Minamoto Yoritomo just responded in a low voice,
Comfort the other person.
He and Minamoto Noriking walked side by side for a while, and their eyes suddenly became clear.
A quiet lake appeared in the field of vision.
There are many stone pillars standing by the lake, and the lights on the stone pillars are always bright.
A light breeze blew by,
The strong corpse odor filled Minamoto Yoritomo's nostrils,
Next to him, Minamoto Yori-kyeong frowned and covered his nose, and said in a trembling voice: "Those women on the lake were all sixteen-year-old virgins. They were all born at a fixed time. After they were killed by the lake, their bodies were still there. It has to go through several steps.
Only then will it become an offering,
Enshrined to Shuten Doji.
——This method was taught to the Taira family by Grand Master Hongfa of Tang Mi丨.
The Tsuchimikado family accidentally obtained the method of making this kind of offering.
If I could kill the drinking boy earlier, a few fewer people would die in the world. "
Minamoto no Yorichao turned to look at Minamoto no Yori Sutra expressionlessly.
Minamoto no Yori-kyung was so frightened by his expression that his voice trembled even more: "Brother, why are you looking at me like this?"
"I was just thinking,
Since my brother knew that he would cut off the Shuten boy earlier, he would have saved several girls from dying.
Just now, he was still hesitant because of fear.
Isn't it a bit ridiculous? "Minamoto no Yori asked with a smile on his face.
Saying these words in front of those ghost warriors will inevitably lead to angry reprimands and drawn swords from the ghost warriors - after all, in the eyes of the warriors, Minamoto no Yoritsune is the master, and he, Minamoto Yoritomo, is the minister.
How could a retainer speak to his master like this?
Dare you mock your master?
However, there were only two of him and Minamoto Noriking at the moment.
Minamoto no noriyuki was not angry at all when he heard this.
——In Minamoto Yoritomo's opinion, his cousin has no ambitions, has a kind and gentle personality, and has no temper.
“Now there are only two of us brothers, so it’s okay to say these things.
In front of the warriors outside, you must not speak like this, they will hate you. "Minamoto Noriking shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Although it's a pity for those girls who died because of this, I am really scared to face Li Jui alone.
Brother, you have been very courageous since you were a child.
I am different from my brother. "
Minamoto Yoritomo didn't say much. He walked in front, followed by Minamoto Yoritsune. The two brothers stepped into a small shrine by the lake.
Corpses floated in the lake,
Under the water, many female corpses were already piled at the bottom of the lake.
This caused the lake level to rise a bit.
