Zongman: Harem's Music

Chapter 384: At the foot of Bailing Mountain.

Inside Bailing Mountain, in the continuous caves.

Deep inside the mountain, there are hundreds of demons and monsters, and their number is still increasing. They are all impurities that Naraku has discarded from his body. Naraku... Naraku, this guy, has hidden himself with the Bailing Mountain barrier and seems to have entered a state of transformation. Now may be the best time to kill him, but Kagura frowned secretly while leaning against the rock wall: It is impossible for me to succeed by my own strength. I don’t have the ability to inform the martial priest what to do now.

The most frustrating thing for a spy is to get information but be unable to pass it on. Kagura is experiencing this feeling at the moment. Because of the barrier of Bailing Mountain, she cannot go out at all. All she can do is worry in secret.

"Kagura!"

"Ok?"

Kagura looked over at the voice and slowly closed her folding fan. "Kanna, huh? Sometimes I really envy your stats... Even with this level of barrier, you can only move around outside. So... did Naraku give you any instructions?!"

Kanna concealed nothing from his sister Kagura: "The Martial Priest has arrived at the foot of Bailing Mountain. It won't be long before he comes up the mountain to investigate. The only ones who can defeat the Martial Priest under the suppression of Bailing Mountain's barrier are humans who have been resurrected with the fragments of the Four Souls Jade. Naraku is unable to convey orders to them now, so I need to explain the plan!"

Incapable of giving orders?

Kagura keenly grasped this key sentence and looked thoughtful.

"Kagura, you have a more important mission."

Shen Wu said this and turned around holding the white mirror and walked towards a cave entrance on the side.

""

Kagura paused and then followed.

At the foot of Bailing Mountain, the sun is setting, the ground is covered with lush greenery, and houses are lined up in rows. Men, women, and children, young and old, who have returned from farming, and children catching cicadas and playing are gathered in groups of three or five, showing a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

"Here's what happened. About two weeks ago, the fog in the mountains suddenly became several times thicker. No matter the time of day or the weather, it wouldn't dissipate. Stranger things happened, too. We tried to visit the Venerable Master's Flesh-and-Bodhisattva Temple on the mountain, but after a short hike, we'd inexplicably find ourselves back at the foot of the mountain. And about three days ago, the pestle enshrined in the Venerable Master Baixin's temple on the small island south of our village was stolen."

The village chief, who had taken Nishimiya Tsuyoshi and the others to visit the island temple, returned to the village with them, muttering angrily, "I really don't know who would do such a thing. Aren't they afraid of divine retribution?"

"Clean is dirty, dirty is clean, good is evil, evil is good, life is death, death is life. On the land of Bai Xinshang, Bailing Mountain is his home."

Kikyo glanced at the two children who were passing by singing nursery rhymes, then looked at the village chief: "What nursery rhymes are they singing?"

"Oh, that's a nursery rhyme based on the words and experiences of Master Bai Xin. It's almost known to everyone in the several villages near Bailing Mountain that are blessed by the Master!"

The villagers said with a look of piety and respect on their faces: "Master Bai Xin, thanks to him, several nearby villages have not been invaded by monsters for more than ten years."

"Over ten years?"

Sango and Kagome were stunned.

Tongzi looked towards the nearby mountain surrounded by weapons and said, "I think he must be a very compassionate monk, right?"

"Who says it isn't?"

The villager looked nostalgic and then angrily said, "That's why we are so angry at the thief who stole the pestle."

"Disorienting fog..."

Kikyo murmured, looking at Nishimiya Tsukasa: "It seems to be somewhat similar to the [Mist Hidden Barrier] you set up in the village. Can you see any clues?"

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi glanced at the village chief and then at Kikyo, indicating that it was not convenient for her to speak now.

Kikyo nodded in understanding.

Judging from the current situation, this unusual fog is closely related to Bai Xin Shangren. To the villagers, Bai Xin Shangren is not just like a god, but a god. The title of Bodhisattva is self-evident. Perhaps Nishimiya Jiyi's speculation will conflict with the impression of compassion left by Bai Xin Shangren in the hearts of the villagers.

This is what Kikyo thought.

After leaving the village, Kikyo looked at Nishimiya Tsukasa: "Should it be convenient now?"

Xigong Siyi smiled. "Although this barrier and the [Mist Hidden Barrier] have different focuses, they are both large-scale barriers that require a very high level of spiritual power. It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary flesh-and-blood Bodhisattva to create them. Moreover, they intentionally prevented the villagers from approaching. They must be trying to hide something. This Bailing Mountain... may not be as...holy as it appears!"

Kagome speculated, "Is there a monster causing trouble?"

"And it's not just a simple monster!"

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi twirled the [Sumeru Precepts] on his left index finger. "Recently, I've been encountering frequent, unorganized, and unplanned activities by monsters similar to Naraku's evil spirit. Naraku's puppets and clones have all disappeared one by one. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"

Tongzi suddenly realized: "Could it be that the monster behind this is Naraku?"

Nishimiya Siyi: "In short, you must not take it lightly!"

Everyone nodded.

As they were heading towards Bailing Mountain and approaching the foot of the mountain, Jiubao's face turned pale with wrinkled eyebrows. He grabbed Xigong Siyi's hand and said, "Oh, Onii-chan, Jiubao is feeling increasingly uncomfortable!"

"Why is this happening? Are you sick?" Kagome said as she touched Jiubao's forehead.

"Woo~"

Mica's two furry ears in Coral's arms drooped limply, and she looked so pitiful.

"It's because of the barrier!" Tongzi judged: "For humans, this is simply a holy place that makes people feel relaxed and happy, but for monsters, it is a place of death that they cannot avoid..."

At this point, Tongzi couldn't help but feel doubtful: "Naraku, are you really capable of operating in this kind of environment?"

"No matter what, Jiubao and Yunmu can't get any closer!"

Xigong Siyi rubbed Jiubao's head and looked at the others: "Take Jiubao and retreat 50 meters until I come back. Don't let your guard down."

"no!"

第一个开口拒始发于/小说.群:98；0：2?0，5：8。/5*6，绝的却是瞳子：“别忘了你也是半妖！”

The others who were subconsciously waiting for Nishimiya Siyi's arrangements also realized this and frowned one after another.

Xigong Siyi said calmly: "As long as I don't use my demonic power, this place won't affect me at all!"

Chapter 385 The Seven Attack!

At Hitomi's insistence, the team split into two groups, with Nishimiya Tsukasa and Coral continuing to explore deeper into Bailing Mountain, while the remaining Kikyo, Hitomi, Kagome, and Ling stayed at the foot of the mountain to take care of Jiubao and Yunmu who were feeling unwell.

On the steep mountain road, Coral, wearing a black combat uniform, followed behind Nishimiya Siyi with Feilai Bone on one hand.

"that...."

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi turned around and looked at Sanhu, who was hesitant to speak: "What's wrong?"

Shanhu blushed: "No, nothing, it's just..."

Nishimiya Tsutomu was stunned for a moment: "Are you nervous?"

The blush on Coral's face instantly deepened a bit, and she slightly avoided Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's gaze: "Actually, Kikyo-san, Hitomi, Kagome, they are all better than me, why do you want to..."

This time the team was divided depending on Tongzi's choice to let Nishimiya Tsuyoshi bring at least one person up the mountain with him. Nishimiya Tsuyoshi chose her, which was difficult for Coral to understand.

Nishimiya Siyi was a little surprised: "I always thought you were a very confident girl, Shanhu!"

Shanhu smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "I used to be quite confident!!"

She used to be the only good 147th-handed warrior in the Exorcist Village, as her father was the leader, and she was deeply trusted by her companions. However, things have changed since she joined Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's team.

Needless to say, Xigong Siyi, with his half-demon body, controls the power of both demon and spirit, and has various abilities. No matter what situation he encounters, he can deal with it properly. He has never been seen in a mess.

Kikyo and Hitomi are both experienced and powerful shrine maidens who can stand on their own. One is good at attack and the other is good at defense. They can be regarded as the sword and shield of this team.

Although Kagome's combat experience is still weak, her spiritual power and talent are not inferior to the previous two. Like Kikyo, she is one of the few shrine maidens who can use the magic-breaking arrow.

Even Jiubao and Ling have recently made great progress under the guidance of Xigong Siyi, one practicing fox magic and the other practicing swordsmanship.

She herself was somewhat dispensable. She took every battle against the enemy very seriously, but at best she was just cleaning out the miscellaneous soldiers.

"Everything exists for a reason. The fact that the exorcist clan has survived to this day must have a reason. Since witches, priestesses, and sorcerers have failed to replace the exorcists, then..."

Nishimiya Siyi looked at Shanhu and said, "Tongzi, Kikyo, and Jiubao are naturally no match for your significance to the team. I chose Shanhu to explore Bailing Mountain with me because there is no more reliable companion than you in this place!"

""

Looking at Nishimiya Jiyi's gentle smile, Coral's heart beat faster.

Shanhu couldn't help but recall the private conversations they'd had in the boudoirs when they'd stayed in pairs in various villages: "Tongzi and the others were right, this guy... is so cunning!"

Bang~bang~bang~bang~bang~

Just when Coral was in great turmoil, the deafening sound of cannons tore through the mountains.

Can't help but take action finally?

Nishimiya Siyi understood in his heart that the five solid iron bullets that had approached to within less than half a meter of the two of them seemed to stop for a moment as if time had stopped, and then instantly turned back the way they had come.

boom--

"what--"

From a cliff not far away, a roar dispelled the wailing and raised a cloud of dust.

At the same time, a sharp white light and a young man holding a big sword and a long whip rushed out from two locations in the forest on one side of the two people, both targeting Xigong Siyi.

"careful!"

when~

when~

Two metallic vibrations rang out suddenly. While Coral used the flying bone as a shield to block and deflect the sharp white light, Xigong Siyi slashed his sword on the big sword in the hand of the young man with long braids who was approaching and slashing down. The big sword suddenly flew out after being hit hard. Just when the young man in white was astonished, Xigong Siyi had already kicked him in the chest.

Peng——

The latter flew across more than ten meters like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily into the trunk of a tree.

"Ok?"

Only then did Coral realize that the sword that Nishimiya Tsuyoshi used to meet the enemy was none other than the second weapon she carried at her waist as a replacement for the Flying Bone in special moments. It was a refined katana with monster bones fused into the metal.

"Wow, you can actually suppress the eldest brother in an instant. Are you the Nishimiya Tsuyoshi that Naraku guy mentioned?"

A young man in a neutral kimono walked out of the woods, scimitar in hand. He looked at Nishimiya Tsuyoshi with an extremely excited expression, his cheeks even flushed. "He is indeed a heart-warming man!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, now is not the time for you to go fishing, Snake Bone."

The young man with the long braid wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly stood up, and pulled out the greatsword that had chopped down a nearby tree trunk and penetrated several feet into the wood. He cast a fearful look at Xigong Siyi's expression, "He moved so fast that I couldn't even see clearly. This guy... is even stronger than I imagined!"

"Naraku?"

Shanhu, who caught the key words in the conversation, straightened her eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

"us?"

The young man with long braids cracked his lips: "We are dead. We were mercenaries in life. I am the leader of the Seven! !"

"Look here, look here, look here!"

Another person waved at Xigong Si: "My name is Snake Bone!"

"I am Xiong Gu!"

This was a giant who suddenly stood up from the woods. He was almost as tall as a three-story building and slightly taller than the tallest tree.

"Sleeping bones!"

This is a young man with erect hair and fist blades in both hands.

Man Gu called out to the cliff where Nishimiya Siyi's Metal Manipulation-powered cannonball had previously retraced its path, "Lian Gu, how are things going over there?"

"I'm fine, but"

The young man Lian Gu, wearing a turban and smeared with oil paint on his face, turned to look at a pile of scrap metal and bloody viscera. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "But Yin Gu and Wu Gu are already dead!"

Man Gu grinned: "Seven people lost two members in an instant?"

Nishimiya Tsukazu slowly put the katana into the scabbard at Shanhu's waist: "Shanhu, that androgynous guy is in your care. I'm allergic to people like him!"

"Neither male nor female?"

Snake Bone looked sad: "How dare you describe someone like that? That's really too much!!"

Snake Bone is a man, but he likes men, and he likes to torture the men he likes even more.

Knowing this, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi felt the hairs on his back stand up, and seeing this, Coral couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Chapter 386: All seven people were wiped out.

呲~

The snake bone knife in Shegu's hand suddenly turned red.

“Ah, it’s so hot!!”

As the snake bone knife subconsciously slipped out of his hand, it instantly turned into a pool of molten iron.

"what happened?"

Seeing this sudden change, Man Gu frowned. Among the seven of them, there were some who were gifted in the field of combat, but in the final analysis, they could not escape the category of human beings, so what they relied on more was the benefits of weapons. If they lost their weapons, their combat effectiveness would drop by more than 50%.
