I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 374: Jinguji Nobuyoshi: Maru!

Dong Yeyu ran all the way, and the world seemed to be reduced to only one sound - the howling of the wind.

The scenery on both sides of the road quickly receded into the blur, and in a few minutes we reached the end of the mountain road.

The layout is similar to that of general mountain temple tourist areas. There is a larger parking lot next to the mountain gate. You can see some souvenir shops and small supermarkets that are not open. There is a small archway at the mountain gate with Buddhist verses on it and the name of the temple written on the plaque.

"Da Guangming Temple."

Dong Yeyu stood under the archway and looked around for a second. From here he could clearly feel the ghostly aura and resentment of the temple on the top of the mountain.

The majestic ghost energy enveloped the entire top of Saw Mountain like an invisible dark cloud. It was so powerful that it could be said to be the most powerful demon that he had ever seen in all these years except for Momogo Town.

But it is understandable. After all, it is suspected to be Oboroguma-hime, an evil spirit recorded in the Heian period. It is impossible for her to not have any skills after so many years of practice.

If I had met her a few months ago, I would have turned around and left without saying a word. Unfortunately, I am probably the calamity that she must experience during her cultivation.

Dong Ye Yu was thinking in his heart, stroking the delicate texture of the hilt of the Chengming Ichimonji Changguang Sword. Just as he was about to climb the stairs, a bright white lightning flashed suddenly, illuminating the entire Saw Mountain like the film of an old camera.

"Boom!"

There was a loud explosion in the sky which was filled with lead-black clouds, and there seemed to be some other sound mixed in it. Dong Yeyu listened attentively.

It's the sound of breaking wind, something is coming!

Other demons from Oeyama?

Dong Ye Yu turned his head and looked at the sky behind him, with the magic power in his body ready to be released.

But then I saw a shadow purer than the dark clouds flying towards me from the direction of Tokyo, whoosh!

It appeared in his field of vision in just a blink of an eye. When it was about to get closer, its speed suddenly slowed down and it hovered not far behind him.

It was a completely black sword with arcs of lightning constantly flashing on it, and a tassel made of several scarlet crane feathers hung at the end of the sword.

It is the sword of the Crane God.

Dong Ye Yu was a little surprised. He had just been persuaded and he refused to come, but now he was eager to follow him?
But a little more help is always good.

"Have you made your decision?" Dong Ye Yu asked seriously.

The black thunder sword remained silent. After a moment of silence, it pointed the hilt towards Dong Ye Yu.

Allow yourself to use it?
Dong Ye Yu nodded and grasped the hilt of the sword. The touch was a little unexpected, like warm jade.

At the same time, the arc flashed several times.

Hiss, it doesn’t hurt!

Dong Yeyu frowned and clenched his hands, and his magic power poured into the sword through his palms. The black sword subconsciously resisted for a moment and then gave up, accepting all of his magic power as if it was giving up.

I said, no magical weapon will refuse the nourishment of the pure immortal magic power cultivated from the Shangqing Lingbao Dongxuan Sutra.

After a simple nurturing, the lightning disappeared and the electric arc became purely decorative, but the aura of the sword itself became more condensed, as if it was undergoing some kind of transformation due to its own magic power.

Maybe it's time to give birth to a true sword spirit?
After all, he had been in the presence of God for a thousand years, and his accumulated experience was immense, only a matter of time before enlightenment.

At this point, Dongye Yu felt that he had established a preliminary connection with the black thunder sword.

The black thunder sword is relatively simple. Besides being extremely sharp and able to cut through iron like mud, it only has the ability to summon thunder and call the wind. Inside the sword are the Taoist prohibitions that the Crane God couple learned from Shenzhou. It looks somewhat like the Five Thunder Technique, and is also mixed with some laws of heaven and earth that are unique to the power of gods.

It can attract thunder from heaven and command strong winds.

In addition, as the sword of the mountain god, using it in the mountains can gain help from the spiritual essence of the earth. If one is a person with profound magical powers, it is not impossible for the mountains to shake with just a thought.

Apart from that, there is nothing special.

As a divine weapon, it may not be as mysterious and powerful as imagined, but compared to the magic weapons of ordinary demon hunters, it is already far superior.

Higashino Yu wielded it a few times and felt it was quite smooth, like a weapon that had been honed for several years. The feel was only slightly worse than the familiar Chengmei Ichimonji Nagamitsu, but time could quickly make up for the difference.

hum!
The long light of Chengming Ichimonji trembled slightly and made a sword sound.

Dong Yeyu was stunned for a moment, then he patted the scabbard gently, and walked up the stairs with the black sword in hand, muttering to himself casually, "It's OK, it's not bad as a backup sword."

Then he asked, "Black Sword, do you have a name?"

The black sword remained silent.

"Can't speak?"

"."

"That's troublesome. I can't keep calling it Black Sword Black Sword. Otherwise, if someone asks me what kind of sword this is, I'll say Black Sword? That's too tacky."

"So no words are allowed. I'll give you a name."

The Black Sword still did not respond.

Pretending to be dead, right?

Dong Yeyu quickly climbed the stairs while thinking, and said in deep thought: "You were once the sword of the Crane God, and the tassel of the sword is hung with his wife's divine feather. You can kill demons and summon thunder. Why not call it the Crazy Thunder God Sword?"

".Xuan Xiao Lian."

A thought came from the sword, which sounded quite urgent.

Fight with me.

Dong Ye Yu smiled, ran a few more steps, came to the gate of the temple, leaped up five or six feet, and then moved a few more times, climbed over the closed gate of the temple, and stood on the roof of the front hall of the Zen temple.

From here you can overlook the courtyard in front. Generally speaking, temples open to tourists have undergone some renovations for tourism performance, such as installing lighting, so that they are as bright as day at night.

However, the entire Daguangming Temple was plunged into darkness at this time. Fortunately, Dongye Yu himself was a fox and had nocturnal vision, so he could see the scenery clearly.

His eyes swept over the corpses of monks, tourists and exorcists lying around the temple. In addition to some exorcists who he had met a few times but did not know their names, Higashino Yu also saw Jinguji Nobuyoshi and other exorcists of the Jinguji family.

They were all lying on the ground, seemingly still breathing, but their spirits were no longer in their bodies.

I'm late?
Dong Yeyu's heart sank. How should he tell Hiiragi Jing now?
Is your father honored?
Dong Yeyu sighed, and finally his eyes fixed on the luxurious car parked in the yard that was obviously out of place.

That is where the monstrous ghost energy comes from.

No matter what, kill the demon first, then see if you can save it.

Dong Yeyu held Xuan Xiaolian in his left hand, and the hilt of Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu in his right hand—Xuan Xiaolian had just begun to be nurtured, and could not withstand the magic power of slaying demons, so Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu had to be the main force. "Oboroguma-hime?"

Dong Yeyu's voice broke the silence of the courtyard.

As soon as he finished speaking, the gauze-like curtains of the carriage were blown up by the wind. In the gaps between the curtains, a woman's profile could be seen. She was holding a round fan to cover her face.

However, you can see that her eyes are full of smiles, but her face is pale, and the makeup between her eyebrows is more aggressive than the grim makeup in the island country, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

"It is me, sir. Thank you for making me wait so long."

Her voice was melodious and pleasant, her tone was clear, and her words were gentle and soft. She didn't look like an evil ghost at all.

Considering that his father-in-law's life was still in the hands of the other party, and he also wanted to know why the demons in Dajiang Mountain suddenly changed from making trouble in the dark to confronting the secular humans head-on, he did not rush to take action, but asked in a cold voice: "Did you kill all these people?"

Princess Oboroguruma chuckled and said, "These mortals are so rude. I have no choice but to invite them into my dream of a painting."

"So he's not dead yet?"

Dong Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was not dead, it would be fine. This female ghost was also a pitiful person. So he would not burn her soul to pieces. Instead, he would send her to the underworld and let the judge punish her.

Princess Oboroguruma laughed again and said, "For mortals like you to enter my ukiyo-e paintings and listen to my songs day and night, this is a blessing earned through ten lifetimes of cultivation. In this case, what does it matter if you die or not? Isn't it better to go to the underworld, be watered by the water of the underworld, wash away all the things before and after your death, and return to the underworld?"

"If you are really worried about their situation, why don't you enter my painting and reminisce with your colleagues?"

As if they had sensed the arrival of reinforcements, the demon hunters who had been silent just now became excited. Dozens of faces appeared in the carriage, but only their outlines could be seen as if through a layer of canvas.

"Is someone coming to save us?"

"Listen to the sound, yes, reinforcements are coming! We have been waiting for so long!" someone said happily.

A demon hunter frowned. He was at the back of the carriage and couldn't see the scene ahead. He asked anxiously, "This demon has great magical power. If ordinary people come here, they will die. How many demon hunters are here this time? Who is the leader?"

"This old ghost calls himself sir, so he must be an expert, right?"

The demon exorcists in the side carriages couldn't see clearly either, and only a few demon exorcists in the front carriage were looking around excitedly.

His eyes first fell on the tall figure on the roof of the hall not far away, and then he glanced around him, but found that there was no one else except this person, and his expression was stunned.

"What's wrong? How many people have come? Tell us quickly!" Seeing that they didn't say anything, the other demon hunters asked hurriedly.

"Only, only one person."

"One person?!" a demon hunter sighed.

Some people still hold out hope: "This old ghost has deep resentment, and only a great monk or demon slayer can kill him. If someone like Master Xuanci comes, he can also kill the demon."

Several demon hunters at the front of the carriage said bitterly, "If it was him, it would be fine, but he is just a young man. I can't see his face clearly, but he is probably less than 20 years old."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like pouring a basin of cold water on a newly lit flame. The demon hunters suddenly fell silent and the atmosphere was deathly quiet.

Only the demon exorcists of the Jinguji family whispered, "Could this voice be that of Higashino-kun?"

"Higashino-kun is good friends with Hiiragi Kagami, and he has a high level of cultivation and strong combat power. Maybe Hiiragi Kagami asked him to help us?"

"It's a pity that we came a step too late. If we had come earlier, maybe we could have turned the situation around."

Naturally, other demon hunters had also heard of Dong Ye Yu's reputation.

According to the news that had been spread, his performance in Taoxiang could be described as outstanding, he was extremely talented, and at the age of less than 20 he was able to keep his thoughts clear in such a chaotic time, and his own fighting ability was not low either, almost on par with those long-established demon hunters, or even better.

However, this female ghost has been practicing for a thousand years and is not comparable to those ordinary monsters. Even the recently famous Dong Ye Yu, the exorcist, is pessimistic.

"This old man is far from using his full strength. Even if it is Dongye Jun, if he is alone, I am afraid he will not be able to succeed."

Jinguji Nobuyoshi, who was guarding his mind against the evil spirits and resentment that kept harassing him in the painting, was awakened by the noise of the demon exorcists. "Why are you making so much noise here instead of closing your mind and resisting the resentment?"

"Master, it seems that Dong Yejun is here."

"Ah?!" Jinguji Nobuyoshi was stunned and asked loudly, "Is it Higashino-kun who is here?"

"Mr. Jinguji, it's me. Are you okay now? I'll come to save you right away." Higashino Yu said as he drew his sword with a clang. The silver-like sword body trembled slightly, and there was a fairy light lingering on it.

When Jinguji Nobuyoshi heard this, he got anxious. Why didn't the young man listen to the advice of his elders? Can you beat this thousand-year-old ghost? You can't!
Moreover, it is impossible for Dong Ye Yu to come alone. It must be that his daughter asked him to come. Maybe A Jing also came with him.

There is no one to guard the house, and the future hopes of the two families are gone.
The more Jinguji Nobuyoshi thought about it, the more desperate he became. Ah Jing, you are going to destroy the last foundation and hope of revival of my Jinguji family!
"Hangye-kun, did Jing come with you?!" His voice almost trembled.

"Ajing didn't come, it's just me alone." Dong Ye Yu shook his head and prepared to take action.

My foolish daughter has ruined her own husband.

If Dongye-kun died, with Ajing's personality, she would never forgive herself.

Jinguji Nobuyoshi suddenly felt that the future of the Jinguji family was dark, and he felt filled with regret. He thought he should have knocked Jing unconscious when he went out so that she could have a good sleep.

The only thing we can do now is to risk our lives to save him.

Jinguji Nobuyoshi's mind raced, and he made a plan in an instant, and immediately shouted loudly: "Higashino-kun, run! This demon has great magical power, and it is beyond human power to defeat!"

Then he said to the demon hunters, "Everyone, let's hold this old ghost together, otherwise the news won't get out, and the other demon hunters will just die one by one."

"That's how it should be!"

The demon hunters responded one after another with solemn expressions, chanting their own incantations, not even holding back any magic power to resist the scroll of evil spirits, using all of their strength. It could be said that they were burning their boats.

Princess Oboroguma deliberately let these demon hunters make noise to confuse Higashino Yu's mind, but seeing that man standing on the roof with a calm expression, it seemed to be of no use.

Seeing that they dared to resist at this time, the solemn voice of chanting the incantation made her upset. Moreover, water, fire and golden light kept flashing in the Ukiyo-e, and the scroll trembled, as if something was about to break out.

Princess Oboroguruma was furious, her beautiful face twisted to reveal the image of an evil ghost, and her voice was cold: "Do you think I am too kind?"

As he spoke, the images in the scroll began to flow, and countless evil spirits appeared in the painting, biting the demon exorcists. Immediately, the demon exorcists screamed in pain, their souls being shattered by the evil spirits.

Then the carriage opened with a click like a large wooden sign, and encompassed the world like a box. The wooden walls and shoji doors covered with white paper divided the large space into Japanese-style rooms.

There are various scrolls on the walls of the Japanese-style room, depicting heavenly palaces with naked fairies flying in them, cities and fields, armies fighting desperately in the wilderness, demons and ghosts, pleasure quarters, imperial palaces, and all kinds of people in the world.

Princess Oboroguma's figure disappeared, and only her gentle and soft voice was heard.

"My painting is full of life, why don't you come and sit down with me, Mr. Dongye?"

Dong Yeyu stood holding a sword, with a fairy light lingering around him and an extraordinary temperament. He looked around coldly for a moment, a little disappointed: "After a thousand years of cultivation, is this all you have?"
