Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 123 Hundred Ghosts Night Parade

The conversation was changed to Wei Zonglin's office.

Okazaki Saburo, who had cleared his suspicions, rubbed his wrist and said in a very unhappy tone:

"Do you believe we are good people now?"

"I'm really sorry. It's an extraordinary time. I hope you two can understand."

Wei Zonglin poured tea himself and solemnly apologized.

"It doesn't matter."

While speaking, Hirata Sakura's eyes drifted to Su Heng again. She wanted to see how Bai He drank tea.

Su Heng released the white crane state and showed himself as a mirage. He ignored Hirata Sakurako's slightly disappointed eyes and picked up the tea cup.

Hiss, so hot.

Wei Zonglin went straight to the point: "I feel sad for your father's experience. We met ten years ago. He is a respectable general."

News of Hirata Yanagha's death has spread. It is said that not only General Hirata, but the entire Hirata family was brutally purged. Emperor Jimmu had deep resentment against the shogunate, and this incident was called "puppet revenge" by Shen Nanzhi.

"I'm not familiar with my father, so please don't pay too much attention."

Hirata Sakurako explained that it is normal for a large family to be indifferent to family ties, not to mention that she is not an important eldest daughter and has not received any attention since she was a child. She was able to survive this time thanks to Saburo Okazaki.

The young warrior foresaw the danger in advance and took her to the ninth district overnight.

Su Heng glanced at Saburo Okazaki, but he didn't expect this ordinary young man to have the ability to predict the future.

Perhaps because Su Heng saw that he felt guilty, Saburo Okazaki explained hesitantly:

"Not counting precognition, I was ordered by Emperor Jimmu to lurk in the Hirata family and I just knew the plan in advance..."

Su Heng suddenly realized that this boy must have coveted Hirata Sakurako's beauty and rebelled!

Sakurako Hirata nodded: "Anyway, thanks to Okazaki-kun, I can now personally inform you of very important information."

Sakurako Hirata took a deep breath and continued: "Nine months from now, it will be the birthday of Emperor Jimmu. To celebrate his birthday, he will hold the Hyakki Night Parade in District 11."

In the culture of Xiaoli, it is believed that the place where monsters live and the place where humans live actually overlap in space. It's just that humans are active during the day, and monsters appear at night. When night comes, the whole road is deserted. At this time, many strange monsters will appear, like a procession in a temple fair, wearing ferocious masks and walking on the road. It is called "Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night".

Speaking of which, after the battle with Shinichiro Ashina a few days ago, Su Heng was very concerned about the appearance of the God of Thunder that he saw.

He didn't know whether it was the real God of Thunder or an image transformed by evil spirits.

Now that Hundred Ghosts Night Parade has appeared again, could it be said that there is someone in District 11 who, like him, is able to practice lies and summon ghosts from myths and legends?

"That's not the real God of Thunder." Saburo Okazaki revealed the information he had. "It just deliberately transformed into the image of God of Thunder to blind the eyes of the world. After all, the real God of Thunder will never They will be despicable beings that feed on humans. Including the one hundred and eight gods promised by Emperor Jimmu, they are all what you call mutants. The team of Hyakki Yakou will be composed of these monsters."

"In other words, Emperor Jimmu will massacre the entire eleventh district in nine months?" Wei Zonglin asked.

"No, Emperor Jimmu's plan is just to clean up the Shinjuku area. Shinjuku is home to gangsters, prostitutes, and drug addicts, and the crime rate has remained high all year round. The emperor plans to use the Hyakuki Night Parade to kill all those who are considered guilty and let Eleven The district has become better. But I think this is just an excuse. Once the killing starts, it will be completely out of the control of the emperor."

Su Heng was thoughtful, actually killing under the guise of crusading and punishing criminals. It seems that Emperor Jimmu was not satisfied with the momentary catharsis, but planned to continue the pattern of the Hundred Demons Night Parade for a long time, so he restrained himself. . But Saburo Okazaki is right, the Night Parade of Hundred Demons is not controllable. He still remembers Qiu Zelong's ferocious face and his threats to kill all humans.

After listening, Wei Zonglin asked: "So you plan to let us take action to prevent this tragedy from happening?"

Saburo Okazaki's lips moved, but Sakurako Hirata spoke first:

"No, you misunderstood. I am only responsible for conveying the news to complete the last mission entrusted by the Hirata family. As for saving or giving up, it is all up to you."

Sakurako Hirata's eyes were firm, she was not lying.

Wei Zonglin looked at Su Heng, who was thinking and seemed not to give an immediate answer.

Thinking about it, according to the information given by Saburo Okazaki, District 11 has reached a situation where demons are dancing in chaos. It is not easy to stop hundreds of mutants.

Moreover, the underground tunnels have been blown up, and they would be unable to help even if they wanted to.

Rather than feeling sad for the innocent people in District 11, Wei Zonglin is now more grateful that the tunnel was blown up in time, otherwise the Night Walk of Hundreds of Ghosts might also happen in District 9.

"Thank you both for the important information. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

Sakurako Hirata's eyes lit up: "I came out in a hurry and almost all my money was spent, so I need Mr. Wei to help provide accommodation. Also, if possible, please arrange a decent job for Okazaki-kun!"

Wei Zonglin readily agreed, invited Zhouzhuang to come in, set up a home for Sakurako Hirata, and gave him a credit card for daily expenses, for which Sakurako Hirata was grateful.

After leaving the investigation bureau and heading to the hotel to pack his luggage, Saburo Okazaki finally couldn't help but ask:

"This is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why not ask Xianhe for help? As long as you ask, you will not only have the chance to save District 11, but also make the Hirata family make a comeback."

"Do you think it's possible? After seeing the power of the Thunder God with my own eyes, I don't think anyone can save my hometown. In addition, I no longer owe the Hirata family. From now on, I say goodbye to the past. If mankind will eventually be destroyed, At least I have to go through the final journey happily. Isn’t that why Okazaki-kun worked so hard to save me? The realization of my dream is so close, but I still have to say stupid things like revitalizing the family. All samurai are hopeless. Drug idiot!"

After saying that, Sakurako Hirata waved her hands angrily and stopped a taxi, leaving Saburo Okazaki standing there to reflect.

Yes, didn't he betray the emperor and give up the temptation of eternal life just to elope with Sakurako Hirata?

Now that your dream is about to come true, why should you think about others.

"What an idiot I am!"

……

On the other side, Su Heng was also thinking about what was going to happen in District 11 on the way to the Taoist Temple after leaving the investigation bureau.

Analyzing the existing intelligence, the evil spirits entrenched in District 11 have undoubtedly formed a huge climate.

With Su Heng's current strength, it is obviously impossible to stop Baigui Night Walk.

But if, nine months later, Su Heng is given the reins again, commanding five rampant soldiers and horses, and mastering more powerful Taoism, everything will be hard to say...
