My personal opinion on Gensokyo

The monster tribe has no national distinction. They can leave or stay as they please. Up to now, Shang Yang has not met the monster sage.

However, there is no need to rush. On the eve of the first lunar war, Yakumo Yukari will naturally invite powerful demon tribes to discuss the attack on the Moon Capital.

"The most important thing now is to quickly cultivate the power of Liang Yi and leap to the level of a great monster."

Shang Yang thought that the matters concerning the eastward crossing had been basically completed, and Monk Jianzhen had now gone to Heijokyo. Soon, the local Buddhist association would be absorbed by the Tang monk group. Under Shang Yang's deliberate guidance, many myths and legends would be compiled by the eloquent monks. With faith, the overall strength of the monsters would be rapidly enhanced in the next hundred years.

Shang Yang's current strength is at the pinnacle of monsters, and the power of yin and yang has initially touched the level of the objective laws of the world. With the help of Qinglian, the spirit of the celestial monster, he can also see a clear direction ahead.

You must quickly be promoted to a great monster.

Rubbing his gray hair, Shang Yang decided to devote all his time to improving his strength.

"Hey, Shang Yang, haven't you been missing for a while?"

Suddenly, a soft yet surprisingly powerful little girl's voice rang out from behind the young man with gray and white hair.

Without looking back, Shang Yang knew who was coming. He turned sideways and raised his hand to greet her.

"I was looking for you for something, Suika."

A three-headed ghost girl with two ghost horns on her head and a large wine gourd wrapped around her waist sat next to Shang Yang without any hesitation. When the owner of the barbecue stall, Niu Gui, saw the three-headed ghost girl, he greeted her in panic.

"Mr. Ibuki, thank you very much for visiting me."

"Oh! Shopkeeper, your business is doing well! Shang Yang is a big money man!"

The drunk Lolita patted the shop owner's shoulder and laughed.

Ibuki Suika, the Great Ghost of the Ghost Clan, is one of the Great Ghosts who manage this Ghost City. As mentioned previously, the order of the Ghost City is managed by several Great Ghost Clan members, and Ibuki Suika is one of them. Currently, Ibuki Suika is not one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Ghost Clan, nor does she possess the power to move mountains and split the earth. However, with her current strength, she is still very powerful among the Ghost Clan.

The ghost clan of this era was not as famous as it was later. The ghost clan was just a non-human alien race living underground and was still in the stage of numerous tribes. The ghost clan was also classified as monsters, and the so-called "big ghosts" were equivalent to the monster level.

Ibuki Suika is the top ghost of the ghost clan of this era. The ghost clan's character of liking to compete with the strong has not changed for thousands of years. As a top ghost, Ibuki Suika's character is naturally more obvious. Of course, the reason for her acquaintance with Shang Yang was also a fight.

Decades ago, the Yamato imperial court relocated its capital from Fujiwara-kyo to Heijo-kyo. With no human inhabitants, Fujiwara-kyo, suffused by the dark energy of Hell, became a haven for demons and monsters. The first to arrive were the demons, who emerged from Hell through Fujiwara-kyo's South Gate, the Rashomon connecting the mortal world to the afterlife. Upon discovering the ruins of Kyoto, the demons were overjoyed and quickly mobilized more demons to build a demon stronghold, naming it the Ghost Capital. Later, nearby monsters also arrived in Ghost Capital, and the generous demons, unwilling to monopolize the area, generously allowed them to reside there.

Then, in order to ensure that this place would not attract more human attention, the ghosts consciously drove out the farmers in the four mountains around Fujiwara-kyo, and the ghost sent to Mount Yoshino to drive out humans was Ibuki Suika.

At that time, Shang Yang, disguised as a human, was chatting with farmers at the foot of Mount Yoshino. He looked up and saw a ghost that was five or six meters tall stomping towards the human village with one big step...

Scene restoration.

"Wow! The ghost is coming!"

The giant Ibuki Suika shouted excitedly, raised her big feet as big as millstones, and stomped a big hole in the ground. Looking at the humans running around in panic, Ibuki Suika was very excited. She used to live in a desolate hell. Although she heard that the humans on the ground were very interesting, she had never seen one. This time she had the opportunity to come to the ground, so of course she had to have some fun.

Thinking of this, Ibuki Suika continued to walk happily towards the village not far ahead, and her huge feet left a deep pit every time they stepped on the ground.

Suddenly, she saw a human who had no intention of running away and was standing calmly in her path.

Looking around, Shang Yang nodded in satisfaction when he saw that all the farmers around him had run away.

Only in this way can we let go of our hands and feet.

So, Shang Yang calmly looked at the watermelon not far away... Oh no, it was Ibuki Suika.

"Xigua, Yoshino Mountain is where I live. These farmers living here won't notice the existence of ghosts, I promise."

Shang Yang rubbed his gray hair, looked up at the huge ghost tribe and shouted loudly.

"Oh! Are you the strongest among humans?!"

Seeing the young man with gray and messy hair not far away, Ibuki Suika seemed very happy.

"Perfect! I'm Ibuki Suika, the demon who's supposed to drive humans away from near this mountain. Let's have a test of strength!"

Before she finished speaking, Ibuki Suika moved her huge body of five or six meters and ran quickly in front of Shang Yang's astonished gaze. When she rushed in front of Shang Yang, she raised her bare big feet and stepped on Shang Yang.

boom!

The enormous force even shook the earth. This kick caused the ground to sink more than a meter deep, and the dust that was splashed spread all around.

The young man with gray hair shook off the dust on his clothes and dodged in time. He stood not far away and looked at the excited giant ghost girl with some difficulty.

"...some gentlemen enjoy being trampled on by young girls' bare feet. I wonder if they'd dare to try it."

"If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would have been embedded in the ground..."

"Oh! Strong man of humanity, you are here!"

When the smoke cleared, Cuixiang saw Shangyang flashing away not far away and smiled happily.

"To be able to dodge my 'Trampling' attack, you're no simple man! Come and test your strength with me!"

Shouting loudly, the huge ghost girl still rushed towards the young man happily and punched him!

Taking advantage of the fact that Suika's giant body was not flexible enough, Shang Yang dodged Suika's fist by moving sideways, and at the same time, with an expressionless face, he raised his right hand and opened his palm towards Suika in front of Ibuki Suika's slightly surprised eyes.

A violent magical power was suddenly released from Shang Yang's hand, blowing Ibuki Suika away like a kite, and she flew backwards for dozens of meters before stopping.

Shang Yang withdrew his hand, looked at Xigua who had already climbed up and looked at Shang Yang curiously, sighed and said.

"Ibuki Suika, look carefully, I am not human."

"Oh!"

Ibuki Suika nodded in sudden realization.

"You are a monster."

After touching the demon horn, Ibuki Suika stood up again. Her body quickly shrank and quickly turned into a three-headed demon girl. She picked up the wine gourd tied to her waist, looked up to the sky and drank a big mouthful of the demon horn wine of the demon clan. Her young face turned light red, which made this drunkard loli even more adorable.

After drinking the wine, Ibuki Suika wiped her mouth, hung the wine gourd back on her waist, stared at Shang Yang with a look full of joy, clenched her fists, and rushed towards Shang Yang suddenly. This time her speed was much faster than when she was giant, and she had more explosive power.

"You immediately decided to fight me with your petite body because you found yourself less agile when you became giant."

Shang Yang was very impressed when he saw the ghost girl rushing towards him and wanting to punch him in the face.

"Sharp combat awareness, but Xigua, your ghost tribe has enormous strength and explosive power..."

As he spoke, Shang Yang clenched his fist and aimed at Ibuki Suika's punch.

"It's no use to me!"

　Qi&Er③Cage Master Dove (VII) Umbrella Silk - "The Two Principles of Going and Returning".

boom!

The petite ghost girl was caught off guard and was knocked back by her own tremendous force.

The power of the two yin and yang, coming is going, the power that comes is the power that returns.

Looking at Ibuki Suika who flew back and created a big hole in the ground, Shang Yang shook his head helplessly.

Now you understand.

"Bravo!"

Covered in dust, Ibuki Suika crawled out of the big pit unharmed. She looked at Shang Yang, her big eyes flashing with joy.

"I've never been knocked back by someone else's power before! Let's compete again!"

As she spoke, the innocent ghost girl clenched her fists again and rushed towards the stunned Shang Yang happily.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Shang Yang looked speechlessly at the innocent-looking petite ghost girl.

"...I didn't realize it was blasted back by my own power."

But even thinking this way, Shang Yang became interested.

"It's best to use abilities like Vector Reflection sparingly, as they can easily lead to brain damage. So..."

While complaining in his heart, the young man with gray hair clenched his fist and walked towards Ibuki Suika.

"Fist of the North Star - Lushan Rising Dragon Beast!"

The two fists collided violently.

boom! ! !

"...Fuck, why am I really stupid?"

Shang Yang climbed out of the big hole he had dug and dusted himself off in annoyance.

It turns out that vector reflection is the cause of my stupidity. How could I be so stupid as to fight against the giant ghost tribe...

Ibuki Suika looked at the big pit not far away in confusion, then looked at her own little fist in confusion, wondering why she had blasted the "giant monster" opposite her away again. She couldn't understand it at all.

However, for a simple ghost girl, there is no need to think too much about things that she cannot understand. Ibuki Suika immediately put her thoughts aside and happily rushed towards Shang Yang.

No matter what the reason is, just have fun fighting!

...You're still coming?!

Seeing the petite ghost girl rushing towards him with a happy look on her face, the annoyed young man with gray hair immediately went to meet her.

I can't even handle a watermelon like you, I might as well commit suicide!

boom! boom! boom!

Suddenly, huge crashing sounds could be heard in the Yoshino Mountain area...

In the end, Shang Yang won.

In the fight with Ibuki Suika, Ibuki Suika only relied on the strength and physical fitness of a demon, and did not use her gathering ability at all, which made Shang Yang embarrassed to use his yin and yang ability. It was too embarrassing to use his ability before fighting with a petite three-headed demon girl.

However, Ibuki Suika's choice not to use her ability was undoubtedly the right one. If Ibuki Suika had used her ability, her power of gathering would have been perfectly restrained by Shang Yang's Liang Yi, and the result of using her power of gathering would have been instant defeat.

However, on the contrary, relying on the excellent strength and physical fitness of the ghost tribe, Ibuki Suika fought Shang Yang, who was at a higher level than her, very well. Moreover, it was not easy for Shang Yang to take the ghost tribe's punches head-on. Although it was not a big deal, it was not a good look to be blown away.

Finally, Shang Yang, who had no other way to defeat this opponent head-on, decided to resort to some unscrupulous means.

Taking advantage of Ibuki Suika's unpreparedness, the young man with gray hair rushed forward and knocked the defenseless three-headed demon loli to the ground.

Then, the young man with gray and shaggy hair shamelessly tickled the three-headed ghost loli...

So, Ibuki Suika, who was tickled so hard that tears were streaming from her laughter, could only humiliate herself and admit defeat...

So much for the memories.

After taking a look at the three-headed ghost girl who looked exactly the same as she did decades ago, Shang Yang snapped his fingers and called the owner of the barbecue stall.

"Shopkeeper, serve the watermelon with wine and meat, it's on me."

Ushi-gui responded and immediately prepared wine and charcoal-grilled meat for Ibuki Suika.

"Wow! Shang Yang, thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Ibuki Suika cheered and immediately stared at the owner who was preparing wine and meat with expectant eyes. When the wine and charcoal-grilled skewers were placed in front of her, the ghost girl immediately shouted happily.

"I'm not welcome!"

Picking up the wine bowl, Ibuki Suika drank the wine in one gulp. After drinking the wine, Ibuki Suika's cheeks suddenly showed a faint red, like a drunk child.

"Shang Yangjun, this loli is so cute..."

Staring at the adorable three-headed ghost girl with a rosy face, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Moon City flashed an inexplicable light in her beautiful eyes, and she tugged at the sleeve of the young man with gray and white hair.

"I want to take her home and raise her!"

Hearing Kaguya's request, a hint of anticipation flashed in Ai's eyes.

"...Princess, watermelons cannot be kept at home."

The young man coughed dryly and gave a quiet warning.

"what is the relationship!"

Her Royal Highness, who loves cute things, pouted in dissatisfaction.

"I'll take her back later. She can't beat me anyway."

It's okay, she really can't beat you...

Shang Yang held his forehead. As he had said before, Kaguya's strength improved rapidly and she was not inferior to Shang Yang at all. She was also at the top level of a monster. It was not a difficult task for her to deal with Ibuki Suika, who was still a long way from being the top level of a monster.

Ibuki Suika drank a bowl of wine, looked up to the sky and breathed a sigh of relief. After pouring herself another bowl of wine, she suddenly found that Shang Yang and the other two were whispering something. However, the simple three-headed ghost girl didn't think too much about it. She just raised the wine bowl happily and said to Shang Yang and the others.

"Come drink together, everyone!"

Then, something very unscientific happened.

Facing the rosy-faced three-headed demon girl's urging to drink, Shang Yang, Ai, and Kaguya subconsciously raised their bowls of wine and poured them into their mouths...

then……

"Cough cough cough..." ×3
