463, Resurrection! Shuten-doji (2/2)
In the last war between the Genji and the Taira clan, the Genji clan was defeated.
The shrine was completely destroyed.
The family gods were lost.
The shrine on the shore of Lake Tenin today is a new shrine built by the Genji clan not long ago.
Few people know the exact location of the shrine.
At the same time, the shrine has not welcomed back the former family gods of the Genji clan. There is only one deity for the time being, namely Shuten-doji.
Beyond the torii gate of the shrine,
several rows of true sakaki trees surround a temple.
The stone steps in front of the temple are covered with blood, and gusts of cold wind swirl around.
Just approaching the true sakaki trees surrounding the temple, Minamoto no Yoritomo felt a chill that kept drilling into his bones.
The real Sakaki trees that carry the souls of the dead are now covered with frost. The row of trees closest to the shrine has completely withered and frozen. The reason for the eerie atmosphere around the shrine and the withering of the trees outside Tenin Lake is all due to the gods in the temple.
Shuten-doji wears a divine robe, and its strange charm is bound in the divine robe.
But the breath it transforms through the divine robe is still beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Those breaths overflowed, causing the trees to freeze to death and wither, causing the real Sakaki trees to be covered with frost and icicles!
"It's really a ghost king-level fierce strange...
Even if it is bound by the divine robe, it can still emit such a terrifying breath." Minamoto no Yoritomo sighed in a low voice. He saw Minamoto no Yoritsune beside him trembling slightly, and the cold sweat on his forehead was condensed into snow silk.
"Brother, can you still hold on?"
Minamoto no Yoritsune asked Minamoto no Yoritsune.
Minamoto no Yoritsune was chosen by Minamoto no Yoritsune as his successor, and he himself did not tolerate evil.
He could still walk in the shrine full of Shuten Douji's aura, naturally because he was wearing the "Half-box Demon Armor".
"I can still hold on, it's okay.
Let's go, go forward." Minamoto no Yoritsune shook his head, pressed the handle of the "Douji-kiri" on his waist, and walked towards the main door of the central hall with his body bent.
The door was pitch black, and it seemed that there was no light inside.
However, when the two brothers Minamoto no Yoritsune entered the temple, they found that there were two rows of candles burning in the temple, and the blazing candles illuminated the entire temple.
If you don't cross the threshold in front of the temple, you can't get a glimpse of the real scene in the temple.
In the brightly lit central hall,
a golden purple curtain hung down from the front, covering the pillars on both sides, revealing the long altar, with many offerings of divine materials, and behind the altar, the ‘sacrificial god’, Shuten-doji, who was wrapped in many women’s underwear.
A string of wind chimes hung down from the beams, swaying in the wind in front of the curtains, colliding with each other, but making no sound.
Minamoto no Yoritomo stared at the ‘Shuten-doji’ behind the altar.
Shuten-doji looked like a naive, chubby child.
It had a bun hairstyle, and was wrapped in women’s underwear, so that it was impossible to tell what clothes it was wearing.
At this time,
this naive child with a lively smile was held in the arms of a woman.
The woman was bleeding from all seven orifices, and gorgeous clothes were draped over her shoulders.
She opened her chest and let Shuten-doji bury his head in her chest.
From the perspective of the two brothers, Minamoto no Yoritomo and Minamoto no Yoritsune, they could not see the woman's chest facing her sideways, but they could see drops of blood dripping from the woman's chest and abdomen, falling on her thighs as she knelt on the altar, and then flowing down her thighs to the bottom of the altar.
A thick layer of blood had already accumulated under the altar.
So much blood, dried up and then was re-irrigated, and then dried up again after being re-irrigated - accumulating a layer as thick as a finger - such a large amount of bleeding, even if a woman bled out, could not do it.
It takes many people to bleed day and night, and gather under the altar to form such a scale today!
Originally, the two Genji brothers thought the woman was dead.
But when the two approached the altar,
she slowly turned her stiff neck, and her eyes that kept bleeding looked at the two.
The woman also turned halfway around, allowing the two to see her empty, dark red chest and abdomen!
Shuten-doji had a naive smile on his face,
and the blood at the corner of his mouth was bright and dripping!
"Ah!"
Seeing the miserable state of the woman, Minamoto no Yoritomo staggered back in fear--
The woman rolled her eyes and looked at the two of them. Her expression was numb, her lips moved, and she uttered a series of miserable words: "Save me, save me-I don't want to die, I don't want to die here..."
Her cry for help was extremely weak, and it took careful listening to hear it clearly.
"The divine clothing of Shuten-doji is the gorgeous Wufu on the woman, and the sixteen-year-old virgin who comes every day, right?" Minamoto no Yoritomo stared at the woman holding Shuten-doji, his expression was cold, and he could still calmly ask Minamoto no Yoritomo in the woman's cry for help.
Minamoto no Yoritsune didn't dare to approach the altar.
He knelt at the entrance of the hall and nodded repeatedly when he heard Minamoto no Yoritomo's question: "That's it, that's it!"
Minamoto no Yoritomo turned around and stared at his cousin: "Then what are you waiting for, brother?
The boy is in your hands.
You should use this knife to cut the divine robe!"
The woman and her gorgeous clothes together constituted the "divine robe" that could stabilize Shuten-doji.
This kind of divine robe is both a restraint and an offering to Shuten-doji.
Minamoto Yoritsune held the 'Doji Kiri' around his waist tightly. Under Minamoto Yoritomo's urgent urging, a fierce force arose in his heart. He stood up suddenly and looked up to see the woman bleeding from the seven holes behind the altar——
The strength that surged through his body quickly dissipated,
He shook his head and backed away: "No, no, no..."
Minamoto no Yoritomo turned around and ran towards Minamoto no Yori Sutra: "The lives of so many Genji people are all tied to the hands of one brother!
How can my brother shrink back at this time?
If you hesitate a little longer, one more Genji will die!
Brother!
Can you do it? ! "
Minamoto Yoritomo approaches Minamoto Yoritsune.
Staring at Minamoto Norimei with sharp eyes!
Minamoto Norimei had never seen his cousin show such a fierce look towards him. His mind went blank and he was speechless for a long time——
Just when he was stunned, Minamoto Yoritomo suddenly grabbed the palm of his hand holding the sword!
The finger bones of Lai Jing hurt when I clenched them with rough palms!
The 'dōjigiri' was fiercely exerted by Minamoto Yoritsune, clasping Minamoto Yoritsune's palm, and quickly pulled it out of the scabbard!
Uh-huh!
The bright sword light flashed through the air!
"release!"
Minamoto Yoritomo held the end of the handle of the 'Dōjiri' knife, and at the same time he let out a deep shout, the strength in his hand suddenly exploded!
Minamoto Norikei's heart trembled!
If he didn't let go, Yoritomo Minamoto would pull the sword out of his palm. When the time came, it would be inevitable that all five fingers of the palm holding the sword would be broken off!
Minamoto no Yoriyuki's face turned pale, he let go of his hand and staggered back.
‘Doji Kiri’ is completely controlled by Minamoto Yoritomo.
Holding the handle of the knife with one hand and the tip with the other, Yoritomo Minamoto carefully studied the texture of the boy's blade, feeling the sharpness of the blade and the seemingly invisible power of the killing stone in the knife.
He had a sword on his arm,
The boy pointed his finger at Minamoto Yori Sutra: "Brother, from now on you just need to be a rich man.
Fighting and killing things are not for you.
What do you think? "
Minamoto Noriking nodded dejectedly.
Already aware that he lost an invisible war.
"Even this knife echoes me,
This knife was made for me! "
Minamoto Yoritomo grinned, turned around and walked to the altar. Wisps of purple-red aura escaped from the 'Doji Kiri' in his hand. Those auras coiled around his arm holding the knife, covering his arm in a blink of an eye. Fine scales with sharp barbs!
The silent 'Tongziqie' in Su Wu's hands,
‘Awakening’ under the control of Yugen Yoritomo!
"The awakened supreme...
It's no problem to cut off the wine and swallow the boy! "
Minamoto Yoritomo whispered, jumped up on the altar, and suddenly swung out the 'dōjiri' in his hand. The purple-red sword spread out like a dragon, cutting the woman who was holding the drinking boy in her arms horizontally in half!
Together with her gorgeous divine clothes!
Scroll of sword light!
Even the wall behind Shuten Doji was cut with a deep crack by the purple-red sword light!
The woman with only one breath left was completely killed by this knife.
The two halves of the body were scattered on the altar.
The Shuten boy in his arms was thrown out and fell under the altar. He rolled around on the ground for a few times and then fell silent.
"Second knife!"
Minamoto Yoritomo stared at the innocent child in the corner of the altar. Because he held the 'Doji Kiri' in his hand, he felt that he had infinite power. He immediately held the sword in both hands, and the purple-red sword light with fine scales circled around him——
The next moment!
The sword swung out!
The purple evil sword light collapsed and dissipated like a bubble!
The power of the killing stone flowing in the sword disappeared at this moment!
It's as if this supreme sword has fallen into a deep sleep again...
Click!
Minamoto Yoritomo froze on the spot.
Eyes full of disbelief.
Why did Tachi fall into deep sleep again after waking up?
Is it really just sleeping?
Why do I clearly feel that the power contained in this knife has disappeared?
Minamoto no Yoritomo was surprised and doubtful.
A cold and sinister charm emanated from the naive "Shuten Boy" on the ground.
The hair on its head grew wildly, and in a blink of an eye, its original "general horn" hairstyle became messy and spread over its face.
Shuten Doji's figure also grew into an adult.
The skin and flesh all over the body gradually shrank and wrinkled, and the waist and back became rickets.
Becoming like an old man in his twilight years.
It was covered in colorful women's underwear, climbed up from the ground, moved its thin legs, and walked towards the outside of the temple step by step with its bare feet.
The dark wind blew away the gray and messy hair covering its face,
Revealing a naive childish face.
The ghostly charm in this ghost king is in a state of slow recovery.
Wherever it passed, there was a cold and strange charm covering it in all directions. This strange charm spread across the hall and covered Minamoto Yoritomo's figure. Minamoto Yoritomo stood frozen on the spot.
Submerged the figure of Minamoto no Yori Sutra,
Minamoto nori's eyebrows and hair are covered with frost.
Bloody ice picks grew out of his clothes and pierced his clothes.
He was killed instantly.
Shuten Doji walked out of the temple and suddenly stopped.
On the childish face, the lips kept moving, as if chewing something.
Creak, creak...
A stream of blood dripped from the corner of its mouth.
far away,
On a high hill outside the dense forest.
A ghost warrior suddenly disappeared from the place.
Shuten Doji chewed for a while, then opened his mouth and spat out a ball of gray-black stuff - some broken clothes.
It keeps walking in a certain direction.
After walking for a while, he stopped, his lips moved, and he chewed something.
