The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows.

Chapter 409 News about the Fusang Sacred Tree

The monster Qingxuandeng is quite powerful. Although not as powerful as the fox monster he met yesterday, he is also a big monster. He is stronger than the ghost guarding the gate of Ghost Kyoto that he met not long ago.

Watching Qingxuandeng telling ghost stories, Qingxuandeng tells the story of a resentful woman whose husband had been abusing her for a long time, even deliberately rewarding her, and not giving her medical treatment when she was sick. He waited for his wife to die and then found someone else to marry.

After the wife died, she turned into a ghost and killed her husband and the woman. After that, she would become extremely beautiful and charming every time she appeared, claiming to be a widow to seduce other men. She would be very virtuous in the first half of the night, and eat people in the second half.

After finishing the story, Qingxuandeng continued: "Now my story is over, it's your turn."

After that, Qing Xingdeng took out a small notebook and prepared to record the story. Richard told her a story about a bride. In simple terms, a beautiful girl married a lord, but she did not like the lord and had an affair with someone else.

After being discovered, the lord was furious and executed her by throwing her into a box full of poisonous spiders, letting the spiders inside eat her body.

After her death, her ghost merged with a spider and became a spider woman, who often appeared in the forest, seduced young men, and then ate them.

"The story is good, I've collected it!" Aoandon collected the story into "Hyaku Monogatari" and said, "One hundred stories are now complete."

After saying that, Qingxuandeng blinked and said, "This book is for you. You should be able to handle it with your strength."

Richard took it and looked at it. He didn't know what the book was made of. It was as thin as paper, but very tough. It recorded a lot of monsters, such as mountain boys, snow girls, kappa, crow tengu, needle girls, etc. Each monster had their image and name, as well as some short stories.

The last page of Hyakumonogatari records the story of Aoandon.

In this story, Qingxuande is just an ordinary girl who likes ghost stories, so she starts to collect all kinds of ghost stories. But as she collects more and more ghost stories, people gradually start to get scared.

They were afraid that the ghost stories might lead to terrible things, so they forbade her to record them anymore and warned her to burn them all.

But the girl refused.

Then one night, someone came to tell her ghost stories again. On this day, when she was recording the ghost stories, her oil paper lamp caught fire. The flame burned very quickly and in the blink of an eye all the stories she had collected were burned. The flame even rose so high that her house was also burned down.

Then, she became a green lantern and merged with the oil-paper lantern.

Seeing the story about Qingxuandeng, Richard guessed that she was most likely burned to death, and then her obsession merged with the oil paper lantern. Her power became stronger and stronger as she collected more and more ghost stories.

As for this book "One Hundred Tales", she should have successfully completed it, and may even have collected far more than a hundred ghost stories. The "One Hundred Tales" in Richard's hand is just a volume, and there are a hundred monsters on it.

A flash of light appeared, and the identification technique was performed instantly, and a large amount of data appeared before his eyes.

[Item: Hundred Stories (volume); Level: Extraordinary Level 4;
Ability: This is a book with magical power. It records the true stories of one hundred kinds of demons and ghosts. In the ritual of the Hundred Tales, the power of demons is obtained and the corresponding demons can be summoned. Every time a sub-volume is completed, the power of the main volume will increase by 10%. This book has the power of the word spirit and can activate the skill of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. 】

This book is of little use to him and can only be used as a ghost story to relieve boredom.

After Qing Xingdeng gave the book to Richard, he disappeared. At this time, the whole Kyoto was already at night, and the ghost Kyoto in the underworld appeared again.

Kyoto at night was like a place where demons were dancing wildly. Richard stood on the street for a while and saw several monsters.

In addition to monsters, there are also many ghosts. A large number of these ghosts died in wars. Just a few years ago, two riots broke out in Japan, and a large number of people died in the wars.

And these ghosts who died in battle need to go to Ghost Kyoto.

Because Japan is small, the underworld is not strong enough, and there is only one underworld in Ghost Kyoto. The souls of ordinary people are easily taken to Ghost Kyoto after death, but most of the ghosts of those who died in battle are very strong and must be captured by the underworld messengers.

This resulted in a shortage of staff in the underworld in a short period of time, and at the same time a large number of ghosts appeared in various places to cause chaos.

At this moment, a series of ping-pong sounds were heard, and a group of ghosts were seen rampaging on Zhuque Street.

"rush out!"

"We'll be free if we get out!"

"You ghost messengers, don't even think about catching us!"

These ghosts ran at a very fast speed, creating all kinds of chaos while running, trying to stop the ghost messenger behind them. The last time Richard saw the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon, he was breathing heavily with anger, holding the soul-catching chain and chasing closely.

Richard looked at the ghosts running towards him, and without thinking, he waved his hand and swung a long whip of fire. The fleeing ghosts were hit by these long whips of fire.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

More than a dozen ghosts were beaten like rolling gourds on the ground.

Then, all the ghosts were tied up with ropes.

"Thank you for your help." The ghost messenger Niutou recognized Richard and said respectfully.

"a piece of cake."

With Richard's help, these ghosts hung their heads in dejection and begged for mercy: "We didn't hurt anyone, we just want to go home."

"We'll be back at daybreak!"

"Really, you have to believe us!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Without saying anything, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons slapped the demons in the face, leaving them with black and blue faces. The arrows in their hands were about to break, and they finally stopped with a look of relief.

"Go back to the world of the living? If you run away, we brothers will be punished!"

"We brothers have taken care of you, and this is how you repay us two brothers?" The Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon cursed.

"Now follow me back honestly, and then we'll see how the judge will punish you."

"If you guys behave well and really want to send a message to your family, we brothers can do it for you!"

After hearing this, the ghosts bowed to the two of them one by one to thank them.

"Thank you for your help." The Horse-Faced Man bowed to Richard and thanked him. He then whispered, "Recently, both the world of the living and the underworld are not peaceful. There are several big monsters ready to make a move. Please be careful."

"What happened?" Richard asked with a slight movement in his heart.

"I heard it was the Yamata no Orochi, please seal it!"

After saying that, Horse-Faced Demon didn’t dare to say anything more and hurriedly pulled those ghosts towards the Ghost Kyoto.

In the center of Ghost Kyoto is a grand official residence. This is the residence of Yama, who is responsible for managing this underworld.

"Yamata no Orochi." Richard was somewhat curious about this most famous monster in Japan.

"Hey, I meet you again today!" Qinghe appeared not far away wearing gorgeous clothes, leaning lazily on the couch, with a big fluffy tail supporting her body like a cushion.

She still looked charming tonight, and behind her were two maids wearing ghost masks. The two maids had peach blossom patterns painted on their bodies, and it was obvious that this little fox really liked peach blossoms. "What a coincidence!" Richard said with a smile, looking her over. He didn't believe this was an accidental encounter.

"I had a great chat with you yesterday. I was very happy. Now that we meet again today, I wonder if you would like to go out with me?"

Richard was slightly stunned, then said: "Travel? Where to?"

"There is a hot spring near Mount Tamba. Legend has it that this is the result of the Golden Crow falling into this place in ancient times. Soaking in it for a long time can prolong life and keep you young forever." Qinghe flew to Richard's side, put her slender jade-like hands on Richard's shoulders, and wrapped her body around Richard's body as soft as a feather.

"Sir, do you want to go with us?" Qing He said in a sweet voice next to Richard's ear.

Tanba Mountain? Li felt that this place was very familiar.

The wine-swallowing boy seemed to be in this place. What did Qinghe want to do?
"Okay!" Richard agreed immediately.

The Wine-Drinking Boy is the most popular monster right now, and he also wants to go and see him. At the same time, he is also very interested in the Yamata-no-Orochi, so he asks Qinghe about it.

"Sir, please!" Qing He smiled sweetly and made an inviting gesture to Richard. Then a carriage appeared in front of them.

Richard looked at the carriage curiously. The four horses on the frame were actually paper horses, but there was a ghost inside each of the paper horses.

Qing He flew into the air and landed lightly on the carriage. Richard followed him in. The carriage was very spacious, like a small room. Tables, chairs, tea, snacks, and fruits were all prepared.

This is less like a carriage and more like a mobile home.

After Richard got on, the carriage started running immediately. Sitting in the carriage, he could not feel any bumps at all. The carriage sped along the streets of Ghost Kyoto, and the demons and ghosts along the way gave way. The carriage left Ghost Kyoto unimpeded and flew directly up.

That’s right, the carriage actually flew up at lightning speed.

Looking at the scene of the carriage moving backwards, it turned out that the speed of the carriage was not slow.

Qing He looked at Richard in front of her, and seemed to be very interested in him. Her long legs swayed gently, and the tinkling sound of the bells was crisp and pleasant.

I have to say, this fox demon is really good. Her long legs are well-proportioned, her skin is as crystal clear as jade, and the small and delicate bells hanging on her ankles are very eye-catching.

"Does it look good?" Qinghe seemed to have noticed Richard's gaze and said with a sweet smile.

"It looks good!" Richard nodded.

"Do you like it, sir?" Qinghe turned around lightly and came to Richard, putting her pretty face close to him.

"I like all beautiful things." Richard said with a smile. The phoenix next to him chirped twice, looking very proud.

Qing He glanced at the phoenix next to him and asked, "Sir, what kind of bird is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

Richard glanced at her and said seriously, "Qingxuan is a phoenix."

"Phoenix?" Qinghe was slightly stunned and looked at Qingxuan again. Although this spiritual bird was quite powerful and good-looking, she could not tell that it was a phoenix.

Then he chuckled and said, "Sir, you are really good at joking. You should know that since King Wu conquered Shang, the last phoenix in the world has left the mortal world. Where can there be any phoenixes?"

"Could this spiritual bird have some of the blood of the phoenix?"

Richard spread his hands and said, "It's really a phoenix."

Qinghe naturally didn't believe it. At this moment, Qingxuan had restrained most of her strength and aura, so others couldn't recognize her at all.

"If that's what you say, sir, it is." Qinghe chuckled.

"These days, no one believes the truth." Richard shook his head slightly.

"Qinghe, I heard that the Yamata no Orochi broke free from its seal?"

"Sir, you are really well-informed." Qinghe glanced at Richard and said.

"Won't the Yin and Yang world be in chaos then?" Richard said.

"Yamata no Orochi is definitely going to stir up trouble. The underworld is already unstable." Qing He said, "It is said that the Yamata no Orochi's escape was the work of the Nine-tailed Fox."

"Did she release the Yamata no Orochi to destroy the world?"

"I know something about this. The nine-tailed fox wants to take advantage of the chaos to seize Japan's fortune." Qinghe said casually.

"She released the Yamata no Orochi because she wanted to use him to draw firepower so that she could prepare secretly."

"But I also heard that when the Fusang sacred tree collapsed, someone got a branch of the Fusang sacred tree. Although the Fusang sacred tree is not a phoenix tree, it also has many benefits for the phoenix."

“If you want to strengthen your Phoenix bloodline, you might as well take the branch of the sacred Fusang tree.” Qinghe said with a smile.

"Do you know the location of the branches of the sacred Fusang tree?" Richard asked.

"Of course I know." Qinghe said proudly.

"Where are the branches of the Fusang sacred tree?" Richard asked.

"Hmm?" The little fox lay proudly on the couch, not saying a word.

Richard smiled slightly, understanding what the little fox meant, and immediately said, "Tell me, what do you want to exchange for it?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." The little fox fanned his fan and said, "If you agree to one of my requests, I will tell you."

"Just a piece of news, and you want me to agree to your request? You are too greedy." Richard said.

"How about changing it to a request that is within your ability?" the little fox said with his beautiful big eyes rolling around.

Richard thought about it and said, "Okay."

To the best of my ability, hehe, whether it is within my ability or not, I will have the final say at that time. Richard laughed secretly in his heart.

"A word is settled!"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

The two of them high-fived each other as an oath.

"Where is the hibiscus branch?" Richard asked.

"In the hands of Yamata no Orochi." Qinghe said.

Richard raised his eyebrows and was about to say something, but Qing He quickly said, "When the Yamata no Orochi was killed and sealed, it didn't die because it had the Fusang tree. It was reborn with the power of the Fusang tree."
