I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 244: Outer Path Pill

"Go ahead."

After the interrogation began, Dong Yeyu put away his gentle expression, and his originally sunny temperament became cold, like the winter sun, dazzling but without any warmth.
"What?" Ling Zhao snorted coldly.

Dong Yeyu was sitting, holding a pen and notebook borrowed from Yuzi's study: "How many companions do you have? What kind of monsters are they? Cultivation level, magic weapons, types of magic, all in detail, it's only ten o'clock in the evening, it's still early."

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Ling Zhao's eyes fell on Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu, and he looked away in fear: "After you tell me, you will kill me with a knife. If you tell me, you will die. If you don't tell me, you will never know the origins of my companions and lord. You will always be afraid. They will definitely avenge me. I have no reason to betray them."

"Yes." Dong Yeyu said seriously: "If you tell me everything without reservation, I will only kill you once."

"What a joke! Are you crazy? Can I die twice?"

Ling Zhao laughed out loud, but when she saw Dong Yeyu's serious expression and the look of pity from the little girl next to him, her smile gradually disappeared.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, if you don't cooperate, I will be very angry, and when I am angry I will kill the monster, and I will kill it twice."

"The first time will end your life, and the second time will burn your Yin Spirit. By then, you will lose the chance to enter the underworld reincarnation. Your memories, experiences, and cherished things will all lose their meaning. You will completely disappear from this world, as if you had never been here. That is the ultimate death."

"It is said that demons are cruel and insane monsters, but no matter how cruel they are, they are afraid of death, right?"

Dongye Yu's tone sounded like he was chatting with a friend, but the content of his words made Ling Zhao feel terrified.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once said that half of all sins will be eliminated after death, and the rest will be redeemed in the underworld. No matter if it is a god or a demon hunter, after defeating the demon, they will only kill the cultivator, and the Yin spirit will be led to the underworld by the underworld messenger to redeem the sins. Only cruel demons will do such a thing as destroying people's souls. You are a demon hunter, you are a human being, you are just scaring me."

Ling Zhao said with a trembling voice, not knowing whether he was exposing Dong Yeyu's lies or comforting himself, or both.

Dong Yeyu, who was taking notes, raised his eyes and just glanced at her.

The look in those eyes at this moment was totally different from the tenderness when he was chatting and laughing with the mortals in front of him just now. Looking into his eyes was like looking into a deep abyss, and there were ghostly spirits flickering in his eyes.

"You should know that I'm not joking." Dong Yeyu said with a smile: "Time is running out, seize the opportunity."

Is that Foxfire?!
Is he trying to scare me to death with fox fire?

Ling Zhao felt it was a bit ridiculous for a moment. She was a fox demon, so how come she didn't know that fox fire had such ability?
As a fox demon, although he is not good at fighting and only studies illusion, Ling Zhao is also able to make crude fox fire. He often saw such fire from the fox elders when he was a child.

Illusions need to be learned from elders, but fox fire does not need to be learned. This is an innate talent of the fox clan. Every fox will be able to learn it after practicing to a certain level, and it may even become the fox's signature spell.

But I have never heard that fox fire can burn Yin gods, nor have I heard that humans can learn fox fire.

She stared at the light and fire reflected in Dong Yeyu's eyes, her expression stunned for a moment, and a strange guess came to her mind.

Could this demon hunter be a fox that has blended into the human world?

With this thought in mind, Ling Zhao looked at Dong Ye Yu himself. The more he looked at those eyes, the more they looked like a fox. He looked at the faces of the mortals sitting next to Dong Ye Yu for a moment. They all seemed to regard him as a pillar of support.

It seems that these mortals don’t seem to know that the person sitting next to them might also be a fox demon?

Ling Zhao was actually not sure whether humans could learn Fox Fire, but he had never heard of such an example in the past, and this was the only thing at hand that could intimidate him.

Just like a life-saving straw, when you are almost drowning, do you still need to distinguish the thickness and toughness of the straw?
Catch him first, reveal some information about the lord, and then use this speculation as a handle to threaten him, maybe you can escape with your life.

Anyway, the lord has great cultivation and doesn't care about those insignificant information being revealed. Would an elephant care if an ant knew how much it weighs?
Between life and death, Ling Zhao's mind raced, "What should I start with?"

"It's up to you. For example, what is the name of your organization, the composition of its members, and so on. For example, the origin and cultivation level of your lord," Dong Ye Yu said, giving an example.

"The name of the organization? That's a name only used by the human underworld. We are all subordinates of the Great River Mountain. That is a fiefdom once recognized by the gods. It is not comparable to those low-class demons."

Ling Zhao mentioned the name of Mount Oe with a look of reverence: "My lord is the master of Mount Oe, his name is Gaidomaru, he is the descendant of a great god, his cultivation is unfathomable."

"Gedomaru? Shuten-doji?"

Dong Ye Yu was a little surprised. He had only gotten rid of a demon, the Guhuo Bird, which was at most an elite monster. How could he have provoked such a legendary monster?

Upon hearing this, Miko moved closer, gently held his hand, and asked, "Maybe Tono Ni-san is staying at the shrine recently?"

Iori Tadamichi frowned and advised, "That kind of demon is not something that mortals can fight. Stay here for the time being. With the blessing of the Inari God, the demon won't dare to act rashly."

"Hmph, it's not that Ootenjin, it's just Kunitsu God Inaho-hime—"

Seeing their reactions after hearing the name of his lord, Ling Zhao felt a little relieved. He wanted to say something harsh, but then he changed his words, remembering that he was at the mercy of others.

"Since you have heard of my master's reputation, why don't you let me go? I will say a few good words for you when I go back, and you can bring some gifts to apologize. My master loves fine wine the most. If you can find some rare and magical wine as an offering, my master may spare your life."

She seriously planned how Dongye Yu could beg for mercy, but she didn't expect that Dongye Yu didn't care after thinking for two seconds.

This was pure bluffing. Not to mention that he was a fox under the Heavenly Lord, how could he bow to a demon? Even that foreign pill could eat up the famous beautiful girl he had slept with. This kind of demon's psychology was already abnormal and could not be guessed by common sense.

While thinking about countermeasures, Higashino Yu smiled at Miko and Iori Tadamichi and said, "Don't worry. Although Gaidomaru is powerful, I am in the dark and he is in the light. This fox demon can't leak the information out, so he won't be able to find me in a short time." These words were naturally to comfort Miko and the old man. The demon has been famous since ancient times. Who knows what strange methods it has. But now that it is just a little fox demon who comes here to try his luck, there may be some time.

Dong Ye Yu was not in a hurry either. There was no point in being anxious anyway. It would be better to ask clearly. Knowing both yourself and the enemy would increase your chances of winning.

"Did he really get beheaded because he was drunk?"

According to the legend, Minamoto no Raikou and his group of mortals used the legendary wine "Kamibenki Poison Wine" as bait to trick Shuten-doji and his demon subordinates into drinking the wine.

After Shuten-doji and the other demons got drunk and fell asleep at the banquet, Minamoto no Raikou took the opportunity to wield the demon-slaying sword 'Ansuna' - also known as the famous Douji-kiri - and chopped off their heads, and sealed them with the Star Kabuto Armor.

Since then, the power of the great demon Shuten-douji who had been entrenched around the capital has been eliminated, and the ladies from famous families can breathe a sigh of relief - Shuten-douji likes to transform into a handsome young man to seduce virgins, and after sleeping with them, he will turn back into an evil demon and eat his prey.

This topic is also taboo in Oeyama. Ling Zhao shook his head like a rattle: "I only joined Oeyama a hundred years ago, so I don't know the inside story of this matter."

"How did the demon escape the seal?"

"It is said to be related to a god, but the details are not something a little monster like me can inquire about."

The more Ling Zhao listened, the more frightened he became. Why didn't this man ask about other monsters, but only about his lord's secret?

Higashino Yu nodded, wrote down the names of the demon of Mount Oe, Shuten-doji, Dojikiri Yasutsuna, and Kuzuryu Gongen in his notebook, and began to ponder.

I once carefully searched the Internet for various stories about monsters and ghosts from the island country. Since Shuten-doji is so famous, I naturally read quite a few of them.

According to legend, the god who has a close relationship with Shuten-doji is probably Kuzuryu Gongen of Togakushi Mountain - Shuten-doji's father once took his wife to worship Kuzuryu Gongen to pray for a child, and no one knows what happened in between.

However, although Shuten-doji is the son of a human, he has divine powers and can transform into a demon. He is extremely powerful and occupied the Oeyama of Tamba Province around Kyoto for many years. He committed countless evil deeds and was only dealt with in the end. Now, it seems that he was probably not sealed for too long before he ran away.

You have to know that I have been a disciple of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and have practiced hard day and night for twenty years, and only now have I achieved the perfect cultivation of Yin Shen. But it is still too early to say that I can occupy the mountain and become the king.

But Shuten-doji suddenly appeared out of nowhere and directly occupied Mount Oe. This was during the ancient times when the world was full of inspiration and combat power was expanding. Who would believe that he had no close relationship with Kuzuryu Gongen?
You should know that before Jiu Tou Long Quan became a god, he was a famous monster.

This kind of demon is very powerful in itself, and also has a divine background.
Higashino Yu began to miss the sense of security that the Demon Thunder Flag gave him. If the flag was still there, not to mention Shuten Douji, even if Kuzuryu Gongen came, he would be in disgrace and would be seriously injured if not killed.

No, I have to ask Yuanjun for help. My Demonic Thunder Flag was used to save her. Although my original intention was to save myself and saving her was just a side effect, the incident was ultimately caused by my laziness and I must take responsibility.

I had originally been thinking of going to Yuanjun on the weekend to ask if there was any treasure that could save Arima Normal University, and now it was just on my way.

Higashino Yu decided to take the Shinkansen to Taoxiang to visit Yuanjun early tomorrow morning to see if this dragon god could help him.

After making up his mind, Higashino Yu continued to ask: "Besides Gaidomaru, what other monsters are there in Oeyama?"

"After the lord rebuilt Mount Oe, he was followed by Ibaraki-doji, as well as the great ghosts such as Kuma-doji, Tora-doji, Hoshi-doji, and Kin-doji. They were all highly skilled. The four great ghosts commanded countless demons of all kinds, including Kamaitachi, Prajna, Amane-doji, Fei-tou-man, Nunu, Kiyohime, Rin-ru-do, and Ruyi-zizai. Although the grand occasion of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is no longer there—"

Ling Zhao talked eloquently about the structure of Mount Oe. At the end, he paused and looked at Dong Yeyu: "But it's not something a little demon hunter like you can fight against. Although you have profound skills, you can't defeat the four ghost kings under the lord's seat, not to mention Master Ibaraki Douji. If you kneel down and beg for mercy early, you can still get a decent treatment."

When the three people from the Iori family heard this scene, they were a little panicked for a moment. Even Miko, who was always calm and quiet, pursed her cherry-colored lips and looked at Higashino Yu from time to time.

"Haha, your master can't even go back to Dajiang Mountain now. He is just a stray dog. There is no need to be afraid of him. What's more, if he really values ​​this matter and wants to investigate it, you won't come to die tonight. Instead, he will come to me in person. At the very least, he will send his capable men."

Higashino Yu shook his head, which also gave some comfort to the Iori family.

Judging from the current situation, let alone Shuten Douji, even the four demon kings under him probably didn't care too much about this matter. They just casually issued a task, otherwise there wouldn't be only one fox coming to test and investigate - she was not even sure before that the Gyuto was killed by her.

However, although this fox demon's cultivation is shallow, it seems to be quite familiar with the structure of Mount Dajiang?
Dong Yeyu thought in his heart, recorded the information she said one by one, and asked again: "What level of monster are you in Dajiang Mountain? The lowest level?"

Ling Zhao was furious when he heard this, "I'm just not good at fighting, but when it comes to illusion, I'm also a senior official."

Isn't it simply based on combat effectiveness that determines status?

Dongye Yu frowned, it was hard to grasp the opponent's strength level, but he still couldn't help laughing when he heard Shangqing.

"Shangqing? A bunch of demons are imitating the mortal dynasties to grant official titles, but they are just monkeys in human form."

Ling Zhao smiled contemptuously: "Do you have the guts to say this in front of my master?"

Higashino Yu ignored her and asked her about the abilities and characteristics of some familiar monsters. It took about an hour and he persuaded Grandma Tomoko to go back to her room to rest. Miko refused to leave, so she stayed with the old man to listen.

The rain outside gradually stopped, the dark clouds began to dissipate slowly, the bright moon appeared and disappeared in the smoky clouds, raindrops occasionally dripped from the eaves, and the night seemed extremely quiet.

"It's about time I sent you on your way."

Qiang~
Dong Ye Yu read the recorded message, nodded slightly, put down the pen in his hand, pulled the sword out of the ivory white scabbard, dragged Ling Zhao who was bound by the talisman and walked out. It is natural that the execution of such a monster cannot be done in the realm of gods - gods like cleanliness and hate monsters with blood.

"You, what are you going to do?!"

Ling Zhao's tone when talking to him became much gentler later on, without any murderous intent. She thought that he would be afraid of the name of Dajiangshan and would not dare to attack her, but she didn't expect that after asking her questions, he would turn against her and refuse to acknowledge her?
She was dragged out of the reception room by Dongye Yu using talismans as chains.

Seeing that his death was approaching, Ling Zhao no longer hesitated and shouted in panic: "I know your secret. If you take one more step forward, I will tell these mortals!"
