Chapter 358: The Yin-Yang Theory

However, apart from this, the information that Higashino Yu could obtain was not much more than what he had obtained from the previous interrogation of the two cannibal demons. This was not an encyclopedia of demon-hunting, but a book written by a demon-hunter in the form of travel notes, named "Yin Yang Tsuji Shuo".

Most of the monsters in Oeyama are hearsay, for example, big monsters like Ibaraki Douji and Shuten Douji are described with the word "rumor".

Of course, there are also demons that this demon slayer has personally fought against, such as a demon named Oboroguma-hime.

Higashino Yu turned over a record titled "Oborogurus Night Travel Record".

"In the seventh year of Enki, on a frosty day in the dark moon, the wind was gloomy and the sky was

On my way back to Luoyang from Anma Mountain, I reached the northern outskirts of Zhuque Road. It was the hour of Chou when I suddenly heard the sound of wheels coming out from the ground. The dry grass beside the road was broken like the hands of a ghost, and the cry of jackdaws shattered the waning moon.

I took off the cypress fan at my waist and quickly drew nine words of protection with cinnabar on my fingertips. However, the fishy wind blew in my face and I saw two wheel tracks in the dark night fog, which were more than a foot deep and covered with blood foam like a fresh wound.

When that thing appeared, the earth shook three times.

The eight-wheeled red-lacquered carriage was carved with pictures of hundreds of ghosts parading at night, and thirteen green lanterns hung on the roof, their light glowing like phosphorescent fire.

There is a humanoid monster on top, dressed in red, with hair that is over a hundred meters long, and wearing twelve tortoise shell hairpins on his head. He is extremely beautiful, and I feel pity for him. There are human faces embedded in each paper door of the carriage, some crying and some laughing. This is the Princess Oboroguruma who devours hundreds of demons in the legend."

"The sound was like a hundred carts grinding bones, the paper door of the carriage suddenly opened, and thousands of ghost hands were like weeds in the reed field, carrying the stench of rotten earth."

"I stepped on the Yu Step to avoid its sharp edge, and twelve demon-removing talismans flew out from my sleeves, but they were all swallowed by the human face in the carriage. Suddenly I remembered what my master said, "The key to the ghost carriage is the resentment hub between the wheels." So I bit my index finger, used the blood as a guide to draw a sacrificial text for the Lord of Mount Tai on white silk, and when the wheel axle turned to the southwest ghost gate, I threw the sacrificial text under the carriage."

Dongye Yu was a little surprised. Although the island country's demon hunters have never been believers of a certain type of god since ancient times, they are believers of whichever god is useful to them, which is quite pragmatic.

But the Lord of Mount Tai actually responded to the demon hunter from the island country?
It seems that he is a kind-hearted man. Maybe I can ask him for favor in the future.

Higashino Yu continued to read.

"But the demon's hatred was too deep, and the ritual only seriously injured it, but it couldn't do anything to it. At the right time, the water of the Yellow Spring gushed out, and thousands of ghosts cried together. The demon fled and disappeared in an instant. What can we do?"

"When the east was already bright, I found a broken piece of carriage, on which the word "hate" written in blood was still seeping through. Alas! The resentment of the world could actually turn into such a vicious thing. It is not easy to get rid of the monster, and it is also difficult to save the soul. The world is full of hardships.

(The Jinguji Seigenki written in the first month of the second year of Renhe)

There are some follow-ups later. Seigen Jinguji went around Kyoto to inquire, and after experiencing many hardships and obstacles, he finally pieced together the truth.

He guessed that this Princess Oboroguruma was the famous prostitute Tsuji Kasumi who was crushed to death by the carriage of a wealthy and powerful person a hundred years ago. Because of her deep resentment, she brought disaster to the people. The causes and circumstances, grievances and entanglements had long been buried in the dust of history, and it was difficult for him to trace them.

Later I heard that Princess Oboroguma appeared in the Oeyama One Hundred Demons Night Parade, so I wrote it down to warn future generations.

Higashino Yu pondered for two seconds and extracted some useful information, such as Oboroguma Hime's appearance, some spells, and weaknesses.

The eight-wheeled carriage should be a very luxurious carriage. Perhaps because of the ghost transformation, its power has increased. All the souls she devoured are trapped in the carriage, and she can use them to her advantage. She can even summon the water of the underworld. The weakness may be the resentment hub between the wheels.
Dongye Yu thought for a moment and felt that the Yellow Spring Water might have been exaggerated by Jinguji Qingxuan.

The water of the Yellow Spring is not a simple thing. Not to mention mortals, even the souls of cultivators will become filthy and lose their brilliance if they soak in it. A hundred years of cultivation will be destroyed in an instant. Unless one is a true immortal who has achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, no one can go through the Yellow Spring without any loss.

Generally speaking, those who can summon the Yellow Spring River into reality are either at the level of the Yellow Spring Ghost King, or ghosts and gods such as the King of Hell or the Lord of Yellow Spring.

And since you have summoned the Yellow Spring Water, why are you trying to escape?
There are some contradictions.

The ancestor Hiiragi Jing is a bit unreliable.

However, if Princess Oboroguma was still in Oeyama today, her cultivation would probably be more than a thousand years more than it was then, comparable to the tree demon in A Chinese Ghost Story.

Dongye Yu recalled his current abilities and was not afraid. As long as he could cultivate the Samadhi True Fire, even Shuten Douji would find it difficult to resist head-on without using any magic weapon.

Of course, Shuten-douji may not use magic weapons, but it is unlikely that Shuten-douji does not use magic weapons.

What's more, there are many monsters in Dajiang Mountain, so we have to make long-term plans.

Some of the records that followed were similar to this, and most were even briefer than this, with some only writing the year and time at the beginning, such as: "In the third year of Renhe, the sun, the moon, and the stars were rare.
I was sitting in a tavern and heard people talking about the swordsmith from the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

What was written at the end were all rumors XXX. Higashino Yu just glanced at them and didn't pay much attention to them - not to mention in ancient times, even in the modern information society, things like three people making a tiger often occur.

However, there is one article with the greatest value, which is what Seigen Jinguji saw and heard after he accidentally entered Mt. Oe.

"The Ghost Banquet at Mount Oe

In the thirteenth year of Yanxi's reign, Yayoi looked at the night, the stars were hidden and the clouds were strange
When I was searching for earth spiders in Tamba Province, I happened to enter an abandoned ancient temple. I found a Tang Dynasty cabinet in the belly of a broken Buddha. Inside the cabinet was a scroll of "Oe Sanreifu Zu". When I opened it, a fishy wind blew out of the scroll and sucked me into the world of the painting.

All the mountains were dark blue, and twelve-story pavilions were suspended under the blood moon. The sound of bronze bells from the eaves could be heard for a hundred miles. There were clusters of palaces with red walls and glazed tiles, which were extremely luxurious and comparable to the Dragon Palace.

“When I stepped on the red bridge, the skeletons under the bridge suddenly opened their eyes and chanted in unison: “When the living arrive, the gates of hell open.”

I quickly took out the scroll of Medicine Buddha from my arms and covered my face with it. I used the "ghost qi talisman" to reverse the meridians and pretended to be a green-faced skeleton woman. Along the way, I saw hundreds of ghosts parading at night: the long-tongued girl fluttered her sleeves and turned into a butterfly to eat the moon, and the one eye on her forehead reflected the scene of the hungry ghost realm. However, the most terrifying thing was the sound of wine jars breaking from the depths of the palace, like a giant beast eating bones. "

"At three quarters past midnight, the ghost banquet began. Inside the glazed hall, hundreds of human skin screens were spread out, with a soul trapped on each screen, wailing as a feast.

Shuten-doji was leaning on a jade throne, his hair was red like molten iron, his horns had the Big Dipper pattern, he had a handsome face and a tall stature, and below him sat a silver-haired girl, who was beautiful and lovely, with a delicate figure. I mistakenly thought she was a noblewoman abducted by a demon, and was about to rescue her, but I never thought that the girl had a single horn on her head and was actually a demon."

"Later, the demons presented a 'live liver cup' as a gift. I presented the kudzu leaf puppet liver that I had prepared in advance. I got through it in exchange for half a cup of magic wine. The strange fragrance was unbearable. I tasted it and was amazed. The Yaochi magic wine was no more than this.

Alas! I remember the time when the magical wine went down my throat, it was like drinking the essence of the three realms, the falling dew condensed into stardust, the Milky Way sucking the moon's marrow, my internal organs were burning but my soul was clear. However, after twenty years of traveling to Oeyama, I have traveled all over China, and there is no cup that can reflect the blood moon that night.

Some say that ghost wine is not actually wine, but is actually the upside-down dream of all living beings?
(Recorded by Jinguji Seigen in Shimotsuki, 1889)

When Dong Yeyu saw this, he was stunned. Are you really going to drink?
Are all the demon exorcists of the Jinguji family so fierce?
