Zongman: Harem's Music

"Have you been eroded by external demonic forces?" Kong Hai murmured, glancing at Tongzi and Nishimiya Jiyi: "We're going in!"

boom--

As soon as Kong Hai's hand touched the door panel, the two wooden doors opened inward instantly.

An unnaturally cold air gushed out, carrying the smell of decaying dust. The space inside was incomprehensibly dark, faintly emitting an ominous red and purple light...

Kukai, Tongzi, and Nishimiya Tsuyoshi exchanged a glance before stepping over the threshold of the wooden pagoda one after another. The roughly several dozen square meters of the first floor hall were completely empty. The lid of a mottled well in the center had been broken, and scattered around were sawdust fragments, tattered prayer beads, and talisman paper...

Kong Hai couldn't hide his astonishment: "It actually... escaped... This barrier should be able to trap it for at least five years!"

Chapter 228 The First and the Last Time (Part 3)

"It actually escaped! This barrier should be able to trap it for at least five years!"

Kong Hai's surprised voice drifted in the dilapidated wooden tower where the demon had already left.

Tongzi frowned.

Outside the door, the villagers who heard Kong Hai's voice were a little panicked!

"Did the monster escape?"

"What if he comes back to harm people?"

"That's right"

Amidst the noisy discussions of everyone's own danger, the elderly village chief greeted Kong Hai as he emerged from the tower, looking extremely pitiful: "Master, what should we do now?"

Recalling the many instances of sealed monsters breaking free in the plot of "Inuyasha," Nishimiya Tsuji, feeling puzzled, whispered to Tongzi, "Sister, don't monsters usually go on a killing spree to vent their anger when they break their seals? These villagers are so lucky to be alive today!"

"That's the problem!"

Looking at the setting sun on the west mountain, Kong Hai inexplicably felt a sense of sadness as dusk approached.

But now was not the time to lament these things. He looked at the village chief and said sternly, "If nothing unexpected happens, that flying-headed barbarian should be back tonight. When that time comes, please close the door tightly. No matter what noise you hear, don't come out!"

"Thank you so much, Master Kukai!" Seeing that Kukai had no intention of leaving immediately, the village chief excitedly shook his hand and said, "After this is over, we will definitely build a longevity shrine for you to bless you with a long life!"

"There's no need for this. Your life won't be easy!"

“It must be built, it must be built”

After one party declined and the other party insisted, the three were invited to have dinner at the village chief's house.

White porridge and pickles in the morning, dry food at noon, and finally some meat in the evening.

After dinner, it was already night!

Nishimiya Tsukasa and Hitomi, who were ordered by Kukai to patrol the village, went out.

A small village in Japan during the Warring States Period, where there are monsters; from the moment the sun sets, there are no more people on the village streets.

Looking at Tongzi, who walked beside him with an expressionless face, Xigong Siyi asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Senior Sister often follows Master around to exorcise demons and ghosts, aren't you afraid?"

Hitomi looked at Nishimiya Tsuyoshi as if asking what he meant.

Nishimiya Tsutomu extended his hand and said, "Hey, girls are usually more afraid of ghosts and monsters, right?"

Tongzi withdrew her gaze without saying a word.

When Xigong Siyi thought he was making himself look awkward, she spoke, her expression seeming to recall something.

"At first, I was a little... scared!" After slightly revealing her delicate side as a woman, Tongzi quickly returned to her usual tone: "But I got used to it pretty quickly!"

"Is that so?" Nishimiya Siyi withdrew his gaze.

"By the way, this is for you!" Tongzi suddenly took off the package she was carrying and took out a pair of black cloth shoes from it!

"You left for a while before dinner just to..."

"I asked the village chief for help and found it in his warehouse!" Tongzi explained, then returned to her older sister's tone, teaching her younger apprentice: "You're still not used to wearing wooden clogs, right? You've been coming to the shrine for almost a year now, so it's about time you change your image of a carefree young man!"

So you noticed it! The diligent teaching in her ear did not bring any impatience to Xigong Si at all. After taking the cloth shoes, Xigong Siyi was touched: "Senior sister, you are so kind!"

She's much more capable than that purple-haired senior sister who can only lock my neck and whimper and act cute~

A bright red rose on Tongzi's cheeks. She glanced sideways and said quickly, "Don't say anything unnecessary. Change it quickly!

"Mmmmmmm!"

He found a nearby house, leaned against the fence in front of the door, and changed into cloth shoes.

Unexpected fit

But when you think about it, the clogs and even the clothes you wear every day seem to be made by Tongzi, so it seems normal!

Yu Guangzhong's pupils seemed to smile slightly, but when Xigong Siyi looked at it carefully, his cold look returned to its original state.

Is it an illusion?

"Let's go, don't dawdle!" Tongzi continued to walk towards the village entrance.

"coming!"

Xigong Siyi smiled and quickly caught up.

Time passed slowly, and the moon gradually rose to the middle of the sky, which was a sign of the arrival of late night.

The ancient nights were not as brightly lit as we imagine. Under the bright moonlight, the distant hills were filled with a faint white mist, and the whole world was immersed in a quiet scene!

Suddenly, a deep purple ominous light appeared in the distant dense forest valley.

"come yet?"

Under a banyan tree at the entrance of the village, Tongzi, who sensed the evil spirit in the distance, turned around and looked towards the distant valley behind him.

Then, as the purple light continued to grow larger, ghosts and monsters with bodies like snakes appeared like thousands of snakes, roaring like thousands of ghosts, and rushed over on huge demon clouds. It was estimated that there were nearly a hundred of them!

Tongzi was surprised: "Why are there so many?"

On the banyan tree trunk, Xi Gongji, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped down and said: "The target is indeed the master."

Besides, I really want to understand something!

Chapter 229 The First and the Last Time (Part 4)

He broke the seal but didn't kill the monsters inside to vent his anger. He didn't even destroy the tower built outside the seal, and the door was kept closed. Isn't this monster's temper a little too good?

Rather than believing that this monster has a good temper, Nishimiya Siyi would rather believe that this monster has other intentions!

For example: killing Kūkai, who had deprived it of several years of freedom!

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

It creates the illusion that the seal is about to be broken, so that the frightened villagers will go and ask Kukai to come over. It is believed that Kukai will care about the lives of the villagers and will not leave immediately. It is gathering a group of monsters to appear!!!

There may be some differences in details, but this is the general situation.

As Nishimiya Tsukasa and Hitomi quickly ran towards the end of the village, in a dilapidated flying wooden house at the end of the village, Kukai, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, paused while counting his beads with his thumb and said, "Are you here, a monster?"

bang~

The wooden door in front of him suddenly broke into countless wood chips, and a female ghost dressed in a kimono with long hair covering her face floated in.

"Seal the vengeance of my lord for ten years, seal the vengeance of three whole years, Kong Hai."

Her voice was like that of a traveler in the desert who hadn't had a drink of water for a long time. It was also hoarse like sandpaper rubbing against a tabletop, yet it also had a uniquely female sharpness that was strange and creepy. "You're dead today!"

Peng——

Several flying monsters floating in the air used their huge snake-like bodies to crash into the eaves of the Konghaifang. Their giant heads stretched out their heads, and countless pairs of eyes as big as lanterns glowed red!

"Die!"

With a sharp howl, the female ghost and the evil spirits pounced on Kong Hai at the same time!

"drink!"

Holding the rosary in both hands in the shape of a slanted 8, Kūkai showed no fear at all!

"Pardon! Pardon! Pardon! Pardon! Pardon!"

With his limited spiritual energy gathered at his fingertips, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi flung the evil-killing talisman paper that Kongkai had given him before leaving with the utmost abandon, wielding it with all his might. One after another, the seemingly ferocious but inwardly weak demons and monsters were reduced to ash, bringing Nishimiya Tsuyoshi 120 points. (Eight killed, current balance: 48184.5)

jingle--

The bell tower in his hand drew an arc in front of his body, and the white ribbon under the handle fluttered with it.

Along with the crisp sound of the bell that gave people a sense of clarity of mind and holiness, a light blue spiritual power barrier instantly expanded to an area of ​​dozens of meters in radius. Any evil things touched by this barrier were instantly reduced to ashes!

Dozens of ghosts and monsters around the two of them turned into dust in the air in the blink of an eye!

"Follow!"

Worried about her father who was surrounded by more evil spirits and monsters living in the wooden house, Tongzi quickened her pace, leaving behind a series of crisp sounds caused by the shaking of the bell tower as her body moved!

Holding a piece of Zhuxie talisman paper, Xigong Si curled his lips: Damn, he has become a support.

Despite all the complaints, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi did not stop!

About a hundred meters away, the small wooden house where Kong Hai lived was surrounded by dozens of snake-like monsters. The stark contrast between the two scenes seemed to be describing the oppressive feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city and threatening to destroy it!

Suddenly, thunder sounded like the cries of thousands of birds!

Blue electric currents flowed out from various gaps in the wooden house, and attached to the snake bodies of dozens of ghosts and monsters, turning into a thunder tent that covered the sky. Under the rushing electric current, all the ghosts and monsters turned into nothingness!

Both the father and daughter are AOE (area damage) mages!

While Nishimiya Siyi was complaining in his heart, the two of them ran to the vicinity of the wooden house. At the same time, a female ghost flew out from the door of the wooden house!

The wailing of thousands of ghosts subsided for a moment before it started again!

In the distance, nearly a hundred ghosts and monsters were coming with ominous clouds pressing down on them. Kong Hai stepped out with a staff in his hand, and the blood on his left shoulder that soaked through his clothes and robes was eye-catching!

Asking for flowers

He was actually injured? Xigong Siyi was shocked. This was quite a contrast to the mighty thunder tent that had just destroyed hundreds of ghosts!

"Father!"

Tongzi went forward worriedly, while Nishimiya Siyi followed behind slowly.

"Don't worry about me, be careful of that monster, she's getting stronger!" Kong Hai gritted his teeth.

"Hehehe!" The ghost girl laughed shrilly and touched her mouth. "You've become old, Kong Hai. Your movements are slower, and your blood isn't as sweet as before. By comparison... the blood of the daughter you and the miko Mingsha had must be delicious, right?"

As the female ghost spoke, she licked her lips at Tongzi, looking extremely expectant.

As they were talking, the second wave of evil spirits arrived!

They circled in the air, forming a wall of flesh filled with black smoke, surrounding Xigong Siyi and the other two.

A group of low-flying wasp-like creatures, each the size of an adult's palm, vibrating their five-colored wings, caught Nishimiya Jiyi's attention.

The most powerful one, a familiar like Naraku, seems to be a unique monster created by Naraku from the hodgepodge of thousands of monsters.

As early as when the first wave of evil spirits appeared, Xigong Siyi had some doubts.

This extremely stylish style, with a large number of cannon fodder leading the charge, seems to be the favorite way for the biggest villain Naraku to appear, or it can be said to be a representative way of appearance!

Since there is the most powerful victory here, Xigong Siyi's guess is undoubtedly confirmed.

Perhaps I had caught up with the hidden plot of Hitomi losing her father, which flashed by in the final chapter of the original novel.

Naraku is probably somewhere observing everything, right?

Nishimiya Tsutomu looked around, but unfortunately, he lacked the ability to detect anything, and his visual search yielded no answer! Group 9: 8, 02:05 85/6, by Daidai. Posted, self-reported.

Chapter 230 The First and the Last Time (V)

Just as the two sides temporarily stopped fighting and faced each other for a moment, while Nishimiya Tsuyoshi was searching for Naraku's whereabouts...

"Pfft~"

Kong Hai suddenly raised his head and spat out a mouthful of black blood, then fell headfirst to the ground.

"father--"

The sudden change frightened Tongzi, and she quickly knelt on the ground and tried to help Kong Hai up.

Kong Hai raised his hand tremblingly and pressed down Tong Zi's arm, but it seemed that this small movement was extremely difficult at the moment. His face was pale, his lips were black, and black blood spread from the corner of his mouth to his chin. Kong Hai said hoarsely: "Poison, poison..."
