127. Shuten-doji became the spirit behind the great Onmyoji (-word chapter)

[You have won the battle of Oeyama. ]

[The troops you and Minamoto no Raikou brought were almost completely wiped out in this battle against demons.]

【A lot of things happened during this process.】

[Watanabe Tsuna and Ibaraki Douji each won and lost, and both were seriously injured in the end. ]

[Usui Sadamisu and Ubube Suketake were attacked by the demons of Oeyama and were trapped in a desperate situation.]

[Fortunately, Sakata Kintoki risked his life to rescue his three brothers, so the Four Heavenly Kings did not die in Oeyama.]

【And your situation is equally dangerous. 】

[The regret after Shuten-doji's death has greatly affected you. 】

【You fall into a coma.】

"Miss, I'm afraid Mr. Abe can't be saved."

"shut up!"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu rarely showed his irritable side.

She held the knee pill that killed Shuten-doji and pointed it at the servant who had persuaded her.

"Stop talking nonsense here. How could my husband leave me like this?!"

"If anyone dares to say such things again, don't blame me for being merciless!"

From then on, no one dared to mention this matter in front of Minamoto no Raikou.

Only the relatively slow-witted Sakata Kintoki would sometimes ask a question foolishly.

"Will he wake up?"

"Will do."

"Most definitely."

"No one can take him away from me."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the unconscious Ian, holding the kneecap in his hand, and said so.

Her pair of purple eyes revealed a light that did not belong to Heian-kyo.

【Time flows silently. 】

[In the blink of an eye, two years have passed. ]

[During these two years, Minamoto no Raikou has been taking great care of you every day. ]

【She was also regretting her original decision. 】

[If I hadn't made the wish to kill the demon in order to revive the Genji, would things not have turned out like this? ]

【She regretted it.】

[Genius Strange Couple + has been strengthened to Strange Couple ++: Minamoto no Raikou, who has poured two feelings into you, only hopes that you can wake up. She can't stand this life without you. 】

[But no matter who you are, everyone knows that you have been in a coma for more than two years and there is basically no possibility of waking up. ]

"Stepmother, please take a rest for a while."

Watanabe Tsuna, who had recovered from his serious injuries, made this request to Minamoto no Raikou.

"Let me continue to take care of my foster father."

"No." Minamoto no Raikou shook his head.

"I will do it myself."

"Tsuna, just keep doing what you need to do."

A warrior would never believe that she couldn't save her husband.

She never gives up.

【However, what Minamoto no Raikou didn’t know was. 】

[You can actually hear her calling. ]

Can't go back.

Ian found that there was no way for him to return to Minamoto no Raikou - at least for now.

Even though her voice sounded so close, he just couldn't respond.

Ian knew.

This is where life and death linger.

If it weren't for the unimaginable power contained in Minamoto no Raikou's call, I might have left here long ago.

[You are looking for a way to get back to her.]

[But the regret left by Shuten-doji's death is too strong, and you can only feel yourself getting farther and farther away from Minamoto no Raikou's voice. ]

[You hope there is a way to get back to her.]

[Whatever the price, you are willing to accept it. ]

【It seems that fate is responding to your expectations. 】

[When you are about to leave here completely, a figure appears in front of you. ]

【That is Shuten-doji. 】

"Hey~"

Shuten-doji looked at Ian in front of him, his tone was very subtle.

"Isn't this the uncle?"

"Why? Are you dead like us?"

"..."

If possible, Ian absolutely does not want to have anything to do with Shuten-doji.

This is a ghost.

And I am an Onmyoji.

Onmyoji must regard ghosts as enemies.

"Uncle, why don't you speak?"

Shuten-doji supported himself with both hands.

"When you saw me, you had no reaction at all?"

"Heh." Ian looked at Shuten-doji in front of him.

"Then tell me, how should I react?"

"At least show some surprise!"

Shuten-doji began to dance, and the horns on her head flickered - that seemed to be a reflection of her mood.

"The Ghost King of Mount Oe is standing right in front of you!"

"Uncle, it would be reasonable for you to at least have some reaction, right?!"

"..."

After hesitating for a while, Ian looked at Shuten-doji in front of him and opened his mouth slightly.

"Ah, it's the ghost king of Mount Oe."

"scary."

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this, Shuten Doji stomped his feet in anger.

"This is too perfunctory!"

"Just like a really bad geisha!"

"But I certainly don't think I should be surprised."

Ian looked around and saw a vast expanse of white.

"After all, isn't it perfectly reasonable for ghosts to appear in a place like this?"

Ian wasn't lying.

After all, this is where "life and death" hang out.

The appearance of a ghost like Shuten-doji here is nothing to be surprised about.

He didn't feel that he should be surprised, nor did he think he needed to be surprised.

"Now that you put it that way, it seems so..."

Shuten-doji scratched the back of her head—there was a noticeable wound on her neck that would not heal.

"This kind of place is really suitable for ghosts to stay."

"So what do you want to do?" Ian looked at the Ghost King of Mount Dajiang in front of him, "You appear here just to let me praise you?"

"Then I don't think it's necessary."

"After all, you've already been killed by Raikou once. I don't think my praise can change anything."

Several tiny blue veins popped out on Shuten-doji's forehead.

It was obvious that Ian's words had touched her heart.

"It would be better if you didn't say it!"

"I get angry when you say that!"

"She has no moral principles! She is trying to trick and attack me!"

"So do you think you have a chance to defeat Lai Guang if you do it again?" Ian asked.

"..."

Ian silenced the still noisy Shuten-doji with just one sentence.

After a while, she spoke again:

"Well, I don't think so either."

"That guy is clearly not normal."

"Obviously abnormal?"

[You noticed the key words in Shuten-doji's words.]

[You realize that as the ghost king of Mount Oe, she might know something.]

【You decide to continue asking questions about this matter.】

"Why do you think Raikou is abnormal?"

Ian asked directly.

"That--"

Shuten-doji seemed to want to prove something.

"Do you think we are awesome?"

"Awesome." Ian answered without hesitation.

This was not a compliment he put on just to get a response from Shuten-doji.

The Ghost King of Oeyama is indeed very powerful.

Not only can he control the entire Dajiang Mountain like a chessboard, but he can also set various traps in it.

The fact that the demon-hunting troops were almost completely annihilated is the best proof of this.

Although some details are not pleasing, but overall it is still very impressive.
