I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 171: Waves Rise in Lingze, Seven Demons Fight

At this moment, Taodong was carrying a bulging gray cloth bag and wearing a white thin rope around his neck, which seemed to be a necklace pendant or something.

She walked into the shrine, holding an ornate ivory-white sword in her arms.

"Momofuyu? What are you doing back here? The raccoon monsters are leaving."

Dong Ye Yu had smelled her scent from afar just now.

I had asked her to go home and pack her things, and leave with the raccoon cats and monsters, and take my own Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu with me.

With four big monsters accompanying and protecting him, it can be said that he is quite safe. At least it is safer than staying here with me as a cover.

So she said goodbye and went home to pack her luggage. She just passed by the shrine and thought she was going to catch up with the main force, but she didn't expect to enter the shrine.

The raccoon cat girl stood still and bowed to the big fox lying on the roof of the shrine.

"Master Ayu, I have thought about it carefully, and I still need to ask the elders for clarification on some things. It is not too late to ask before leaving."

Ask something?

Dong Yeyu carefully observed Taodong's expression and found that there seemed to be something wrong with her expression.

The expression on the little raccoon cat's face was quite complicated, showing determination, timidity, and even a little hatred. It stared at Li Zhui closely.

Although the girl's head is still that of a raccoon cat, it has begun to take on a human form and her facial expressions can be seen.

Could it be related to the hatred between Li Zhui and Tao Dong?
Dong Yeyu thought about it and decided to listen in to see what was going on, so he just said, "Hurry up."

After saying that, Dongye Yu lay on the roof and began to ponder whether he should escape or activate the backup hidden energy if the demon that replaced the god suddenly attacked.

With the help of Jiuzang and Zukan, two powerful monsters with great cultivation, blocking the way, perhaps they can delay the swing of the Demon Thunder Flag.

Thinking of this, he opened the system panel and began to carefully review the key points and steps of summoning thunder. Although he had already memorized it, it was always a good idea to read it more carefully to avoid making mistakes.

Taodong tightened the cloth strips tied around the bundle in front of him with both hands, touched a piece of jade-like object hanging under his clothes on his chest, walked closer, and bowed to Zukan and Shuzo who were sitting on a mat not far away, drinking and chatting.

I arrived at the worship hall, stood at the bottom of the steps and looked up at Tanuki who was kneeling in front of the worship hall.

"My father and brother took me away from home that night. Something went wrong with the lantern. Elder Tanuki, was it you who did this?"

The raccoon girl asked, her voice clear, pleasant, and cold, like Mount Fuji in winter, like ice and snow suppressing magma.

Although it was a question, her tone fully revealed her confidence.

"Modong, what does Tanuki Township mean to you?" Tanuki did not answer the tanuki girl's question, but asked instead.

The girl whispered, "Hometown."

"Then do you know what Tanuki Township means to me?"

The old raccoon monster lowered his head and remained silent for a while. The breeze with the fragrance of peach blossoms ruffled his pale and dense beard and carried away a few petals that fell on the corridor of the worship hall. The light and shadow of the candles in the temple were looming, and the back of the raccoon looked desolate and lonely in front of the empty and dark hall.

"Everything," he asked himself.

"I have a good talent for cultivation, which has caused me to live too long, so long that all my old friends have passed away, and the only one who remembers my past is Li Xiang."

"So, Tanuki Village can be without Tanuki Ooi, but Tanuki Ooi cannot be without Tanuki Village. When there are monsters or humans threatening Tanuki Village, I must eliminate them."

"It was you who did it." Tao Dong looked angry, tightly gripping the sword in his hand, and walked up the stairs step by step.

"It's me." Tanuki slowly stood up and looked down at Taodong who was getting closer with a katana in his arms. His voice was as soft as rotten wood but firm.

"Your father and brother are traitors. They were raised by the Tanuki Village, but they ignored the danger of Tanuki Village being overthrown and insisted on reporting it. They wanted to find those demon exorcists in Edo, saying that 'wantonly harming mortals will turn them into demons'. How high-sounding!"

"Don't you see that even the Water God has been murdered by those monsters? If I, an old and frail raccoon monster, don't listen to them, the raccoon town will be destroyed overnight!"

"Taodong, all these thousands of raccoon cats are on my old and weak shoulders. If I'm not careful, something unbearable will happen. What should I do? What can I do?"

"What's more, those humans have repeatedly undermined the foundation of my fairyland and disturbed the peace of my raccoon village. What's worse, they have hurt the people of my raccoon village under the banner of exploration. The Lord Water God is high up and can't see it. Could it be that your father and brother are also blind?"

At this point, Li Zhui snorted coldly: "I think they have been bewitched by mortals and don't know where their roots are. Since no matter how hard we persuade them, we can only let the gods decide."

"Conscience and Lixiang, they choose conscience, I choose Lixiang."

When Tao Dong heard this, his eyes suddenly became empty.

She recalled the night when she and her father and brother walked in the white mist of the fairyland, and the lanterns suddenly went out, and the despair of being surrounded by demons. She recalled her father and brother's screams, and the chewing sounds that made her scalp tingle.

The hellish scene was still vivid in her mind, and her voice trembled a little.

"So you tampered with the lantern and caused my father and brother to die at the hands of the demon?"

"Your father, Nobita, has been clever and cunning since he was young. I can't trap him. If I want to protect Tanuki Village, this is the only way."

After Li Zhui finished speaking, his eyes, which were covered by thick white eyebrows, drooped and he sighed.

"I have done things in my life that have let down many beings, including mortals, raccoon cats and monsters, and even the Lord of Water. However, they are all gone now, and you are the only one who is still alive."

"Although what I did was for the sake of Li Township, I was indeed the culprit who killed your father and brother. I will let you take revenge."

When Tanuki said this, the wide-sleeved priest's robe on his body seemed to deflate and fell off, and an old tanuki with gray hair jumped out from it.

It slammed into the corner of the shrine's stone lantern like a streak of gray lightning, without any hesitation or use of magic power to defend itself.

Higashino Yu, Shuzo and Shikan, who were standing by, knew that Tanuki had already made up his mind to die, and that he was just ending his life in advance. Moreover, it was a grudge within Tanuki Village, so they did not stop him.

puff!
The raccoon's brain was smashed into pieces, red and white splattered all over the ground. It fell straight down under the stone lantern, without a sound.

The air was filled with the rusty smell of blood, which constantly stimulated Tao Dong's brain. He stared at the scene blankly without reacting.

My father and brother died tragically. I have been tossing and turning for many days and nights and have been looking forward to revenge for a long time. Is this the end?

The amount of information is a bit too much.

Dong Ye Yu watched the whole process and began to ponder.

So the Ueda family and the demon who attempted to replace the gods were the masterminds behind the disappearance of the tourists, and some raccoon cat monsters in Tanuki Village were the perpetrators?
Come to think of it, I have indeed seen that many of the raccoon cats in the raccoon village were entangled with karma.

However, murdering God is a serious crime. How dare the Ueda family and that demon let the raccoon cat monster know about this?
Dong Ye Yu was surprised at first, but understood the next second.

They don't need to let the raccoon cat monsters know that the gods have been murdered. They just need to pretend that the gods have allowed it and swagger into the fairyland. Anyway, it is impossible for the raccoon cat monsters to meet the Hishizawa water god.

This could also arouse the raccoon monsters' dissatisfaction with the Hishizawa Water God - the modern Water God, who was trusted by the previous Water God and was able to ascend to the throne, actually ignored the affairs of the gods and did not clean up the fairyland of the previous Water God, but only knew how to stay in the shrine to eat, drink and have fun? At least the tone of the raccoon monsters seemed to be quite critical of the current Hishizawa Water God.

As for why they let the raccoon cat monsters murder the travelers instead of doing it themselves, that's also very simple.

The Ueda family and the demon must have known that a mass murder of mortals would inevitably attract the attention of the mortal government, and that exorcists would come to investigate.

So let the raccoon cat monster murder the travelers, and wait for the exorcists to investigate.

If there is a chance, I will catch all these demon hunters.

Although we don't know what these demons want mortals to do, it is nothing more than eating humans or using mortals to practice something.

As a practitioner, the demon hunter is a more perfect human-shaped elixir for demons than a mortal.

If there is no chance, kick the raccoon cat monster in the raccoon village out as a scapegoat.

This is a very risky plan. If they let a demon hunter with some background escape, they will be finished.

That's why they tricked the demon exorcists into coming to the peach forest. All they had to do was lure the demon exorcists into the fairyland.

In the strange white fog barrier set up by the gods, it is easy to kill the demon hunters on first sight.

When Higashino Yu thought of this, he looked towards the direction of Hishizawa and all hope was gone.

Originally, I thought that this demon might seek stability and choose to refine the fairyland to consolidate its foundation, allowing my side to leave here, and then chase us up.

That way, I would be able to take Jinguji and others and escape.

But now it seems that given the caution of these demons, they will probably not let even a civet cat leave the fairyland, and there will be a fierce battle.

Dong Ye Yu looked at the raccoon cat girl who was standing in the hall and gave her a reminder.

"Your revenge is not over yet. Those demons are the culprits, and they have not been killed yet. So, now is not the time for you to unload everything. Leave here and go to Badger Chiyo. Run faster."

Yes, those demons are not dead yet, and the revenge of my father and brother has not been completely settled.

Hatred had almost become Taodong's obsession. She quickly came to her senses, turned around and ran out of the shrine.

But after running a few steps, he suddenly seemed to remember something, stopped, and looked back: "Master Ayu, are you not leaving?"

"I?"

Dong Yeyu stood up on the roof of the worship hall and stretched his body. His long white hair fluttered in the wind, giving him a lively and ethereal air.

The fox demon looked in the direction of Hishizawa, and his narrow amber fox eyes narrowed slightly: "I'm waiting for the new Hishizawa water god."

"Let's go quickly, or I won't be able to protect you."

"why is it like this"

How can monsters rebel against gods?

The raccoon cat girl was stunned.

Is it really necessary to do this?

Just because of the favor that seemed like a joke to me back then?
And there are Sakezo-sama and Ashikame-sama, who are willing to fight against the gods just for thirty monjin
Tao Dong was somewhat confused and even felt guilty. She had even thought of using Master Dongye to take revenge.
The clean and beautiful big fox and the two big monsters drinking freely were reflected in the raccoon cat girl's pure and flawless eyes like obsidian. She remembered that her father once held her in his arms and told her stories about big monsters and heroes. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.

She was silent for a moment, then knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.

"Taodong is waiting for news of your victory at the Lixiang Hot Spring Hotel. I wish you three great military luck!"

After saying that, a green leaf fell down, and she turned into a civet cat as big as a millstone, with a bulging gray and white bag around her neck and a big furry tail dragging behind her. She moved away in a funny but quick manner.

Not long after she left, the wind blowing from the direction of Hishizawa brought with it a strong sense of moisture.

"The waves are rising." Dong Ye Yu murmured to himself.

At the same time, the fairyland's ever-bright sky also grew gloomy. Dark clouds that floated from nowhere covered the warm and dreamy sun. Lead-gray clouds weighed heavily overhead, as if within reach. Lightning flashed in the clouds, and bright white electric snakes snaked for thousands of miles.

The soft and pleasant wind turned fierce. The mulberry trees and bamboo forests planted in the raccoon village bent in the hurricane. In the distance, peach blossoms were flying all over the sky, outlining the shape of the wind. The wind chimes hanging on the eaves of the shrine rang sharply, like an alarm bell.

Turning around, he saw that the wall of white fog that stretched from the sky to the ground on the other side of the fairyland was also surging up. Turbid, dark demonic clouds and evil spirits kept emerging from the thick white fog and rushing towards the group of raccoon cat monsters.

"come!"

From a distance, one could seem to hear Badger Chiyo's excited war cry.

The two big monsters who were toasting each other looked at each other, then smiled and picked up their simple swords from the ground beside them and put them back on their waists.

"That demon can't sit still anymore. Lord Dongye, Lord Shuzo, let's go."

Jiuzo drank the last sip of the spirit wine and stood up silently.

Dong Yeyu took one last look at the introduction of the Demon Thunder Flag and silently recited the ritual formula.

boom!
A huge wave higher than Xiashan Mountain surged from the endless Lingze in the fairyland, and the wave hit the Li Village.

Amid the roaring waves, a majestic voice came from all directions.

The sound was clearly audible, and neither the thunder nor the waves could cover it up in the slightest, as if the catastrophe of heaven and earth could only become a foil to this sound.

"The evildoers who disturbed our fairyland should be killed."

"Demon, come to your Lord Badger Chiyo and die, hahahaha!"

On a distant ridge, Badger Chiyo, wielding a several-meter-long wild sword, rushed into the sweeping evil cloud.

Qilang stood on a big rock, drawing his bow and drawing his arrow. Every shot of the arrow covered with white light could accurately turn a demon into invisible.

"Don't be afraid, hide well."

Heihachi pushed the raccoon cat children around him into the raccoon cat group, grabbed them with his bare hands, and in a flash of light, a nearly ten-meter-long infantry combat spear appeared in his hand. He swept it with a sharp sweep, and several wolf demons that pounced on them howled miserably.

"Lord Ayu asked me to protect you. Please follow me."

Silent Shu spoke to the three girls behind him, took off his coat, revealing his red skin, took a deep breath, and a hot breath like steam gushed out, and a red light enveloped his body.

In just a few breaths, the sturdy ghost expanded to more than ten meters in length, with a green face, fangs, eyes like lanterns, like a giant standing tall. His every move frightened all the ghosts and gods.
