The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

It was an ordinary day, so ordinary that it was exactly the same as every other day. But this day soon became extraordinary because a video with a monster figure soon circulated on the Internet.

The video is brief, and it can be seen that the person who filmed it hurriedly slipped away after taking the video for more than ten seconds. The video shows a gigantic monster that looks very similar to a kappa and appears on a sunny day, except that it does not have a water bowl on its head. Its entire body is red, and it has a bright red tongue hanging out.

It's pretty ugly anyway.

The video description also indicates what this monster is: Red Tongue, a monster that lives in rivers and appears in sunny weather. It likes to help the weak and steal water from other people's fields. It has a lion nose, three claws and four feet, and is named because it always spits out a red tongue...

At the end of this paragraph, it is specifically noted that this monster is ranked 28th in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. Although I don't know if it is correct, it looks very professional.

The video was first released on a website, and then for some reason, perhaps because of everyone's curiosity, the video began to spread on the Internet at an extremely fast speed.

Although there have been real and fake monster videos before, none of them are like this video, where there is almost no trace of modification.

However, this one video alone did not have much impact, but afterwards it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and one after another videos or photos of monsters were circulated on the Internet.

After a rough glance, there are more than ten videos, and with pictures, there may be more than those in the video.

Regarding the circulation of these videos, the authorities neither banned nor explained, as if they had completely ignored these videos and allowed them to spread.

In just a moment, a lot of discussion broke out on the Internet. What was discussed was naturally the authenticity of these monsters. The video looked very real, but the possibility of splicing and modification was not ruled out. After all, such videos had been circulated before.

But after discussing for a while, everyone came to a conclusion that the monsters in these videos or pictures are all the monsters that exist in the One Hundred Demons Night Parade.

The only place associated with the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is Kyoto.

After carefully searching the architectural landmarks that appeared in the video, netizens were shocked to find that these monsters were actually filmed in Kyoto and those buildings could not be faked.

This discovery made the netizens in Kyoto collectively speechless. What was going on? They were clearly analyzing and discussing it, why did the discussion suddenly come to them?

[I think it is very likely that this is a spliced ​​video. After all, it is not the Ghost Festival yet, so there should be no ghost resurrection, right? ]

[Yes, yes, I agree! ]

【plus one! 】

[Hehe, people from Kansai, you better pray for yourselves. The Ghost Festival on July 15th was not decided by humans. Who says that monsters must come out on Ghost Festival? ]

[That's right, when the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons appears, you'll be dead. Look how safe we ​​are in Kanto. Don't you envy us? ]

[I don't agree! This must be fake, fake! ]

"This is real……"

Tange Oto quit the forum in despair. She knew the truth, these ghosts were real, but... but...

"Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, why are all the monsters moving out en masse? Aren't they afraid of humans?"

"Didn't you say that humans shouldn't be allowed to discover the existence of monsters? Why would they expose themselves?!"

Danxia Yin put down the phone and asked Fenghuang Huo, who had suddenly remained silent from the beginning, in a crying voice. As a fellow monster, Xiaofeng must know why the monsters suddenly appeared in front of people.

Phoenix Fire looked at Tange Yin with complicated eyes. It understood what was going on, but it couldn't believe why the bald old man would suddenly do this.

There is absolutely no benefit in doing so, and other than exposing their existence, it cannot imagine what else it can gain by doing so.

For the glory of the monsters in the Heian period? Come on, their monster era has passed, now is the era of humans, and their strength has long been worn out in the seal. Even if they can restore some of their monster power through the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, it is not worth it at all.

"Alas, I don't know either." Phoenix Fire sighed lightly and shook his head. It really didn't understand. Now was not even the day with the heaviest yin energy. In this case, even the Night Parade of the Hundred Demons could not achieve the best effect.

"Don't go looking for monsters these days, and forget about this matter from now on. Don't worry, I will protect you."

"Xiao Feng, will it be dangerous outside next?"

Hearing Fenghuanghuo's serious tone, Tange Yin asked with some fear. Although she didn't know what would happen next, she could guess a little.

"It's not dangerous, but it's not good for humans anyway. I'm not sure what will happen next. Let's wait and time will tell."

After saying that, Fenghuanghuo closed his eyes and stopped talking. Seeing this, Danxia Yin stopped asking questions and opened his phone again to log into the forum to see if he could get any clues from it.

………………

The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is actually a form of ritual. It is a parade from west to east on the land of Heian-kyo. When the parade is over, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons ends.

But now Heian-kyo has become the modern Kyoto, but Kyoto will not be too different. After all, Kyoto is known as the "Millennium Ancient Capital", which also shows that Kyoto has not changed much since ancient times.

In a house in the west of Kyoto, Huapiao and Daitengu sat opposite each other. After Daitengu explained his purpose, Daitengu did not leave again in order to monitor whether Huapiao would do as he said.

"Since you notified all the monsters, how many monsters are heading here?" Daitengu asked, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his arms folded across his chest, staring at Huapiao who was drinking tea.

"Huh~ probably only one half." Hua Piao blew a sip of the hot air from the teacup and replied slowly.

This was also within his expectations. After all, the monsters had finally unsealed, so they naturally wanted to live well. However, he suddenly told everyone that there would be a Hundred Demons Night Parade, which meant that the existence of monsters would be exposed to the public again, and there must be some monsters who were unwilling to do so.

Moreover, it is no longer the Heian Period, and the demonic powers of all the monsters have long been worn out and are about to return to nature. There is not much point in holding another Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Those who can come now are all because he still has a little face. Those monsters are willing to listen to him, and he can't force them not to come. After all, he can understand the monsters' thoughts.

"Did any great monster respond to your answer?"

"not a single one."

"Really?" Hearing this, Daitengu suddenly stood up, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, "It seems that I have to go there myself."

After saying that, Da Tengu didn't stop, turned around and walked out of the house, then flew into the sky to look for those big monsters who were hiding in the world.

Seeing Daitengu leave, Huapiao just sighed again and sipped the bitter and tasteless tea in the cup.

If he was at the peak of his demonic power, how could he be restrained by Da Tengu? It would be a complete pipe dream for Da Tengu to find him.

Unfortunately, the more powerful the monster, the greater the wear and tear on the seal.

With the help of the Three-Bright Sword, Daitonglian, Daitengu is almost invincible among monsters. Now he can only pray that a big monster can defeat Daitengu and make it give up the idea of ​​rescuing Otakemaru through the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Chapter 350: The Decline of Yin-Yang Dao

Seimei Shrine, Kamikyo Ward, Kyoto City.

When talking about Seimei Shrine, one can naturally think of who this shrine is dedicated to.

Abe no Haruaki was the royal onmyoji of the Heian period.

In that era, Onmyoji were mainly responsible for astronomy, meteorology, calendar, divination and other techniques, but there are also legends that Onmyoji possessed Onmyoji spells to exorcise demons and eliminate disasters. Abe Haruaki was the most legendary and well-known Onmyoji, and he left behind many legends.

The movie "Onmyoji" tells the story of this great Onmyoji.

However, before the supernatural appeared and when Onmyodo was suppressed, the situation of Seimei Shrine was miserable. Originally, the shrine grounds were vast, but later due to the war and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's urban development, the shrine gradually shrank and was almost deserted.

It was not until the end of the shogunate that Haruaki's descendants renovated the shrine's main hall and grounds, restoring the shrine's glory.

But there is actually a very awkward problem here, that is, the shrine is Shinto, and Abe Haruaki is Onmyoji. It seems like a mockery no matter how you look at it for a Shinto to set up a shrine for the representative figure of Onmyoji, not to mention that Shinto is now in its heyday and has become the national road of the island country.

The most important thing is that Seimei Shrine was transformed from the ruins of Seimei's residence. The shrine is now managed by the Shinto god, not the Onmyoji of Onmyoji. The degree of this is so outrageous that it can be described as a crime against one's husband.

To put it simply, Buddhism built a temple for Jesus, which contained a golden statue of Jesus, and sent a monk to manage the temple, saying "Amen" all the time. The temple was built on the site of Jesus' former residence. Of course, this was built when Christianity was in decline.

In the Meiji era, Onmyoji was abolished as an "obscene cult", and some of its contents survived in the name of folk beliefs. At that time, Shintoism and Onmyoji had completely broken off.

Whenever they think of this, the officials of the island nation regret it so much that they wish they could travel back to the Meiji period, point at Emperor Meiji's nose and curse him, asking why Onmyoji was abolished!

Now the demons and monsters from the Heian period have revived, but the inheritance of Onmyoji has long been cut off. There are not even many believers, let alone the inheritance of the Onmyoji family!

The people in charge of Kyoto feel this even more deeply, because their Kyoto is the ancient Heian-kyo, and the Heian-kyo era was the heyday of Onmyodo.

But who would have thought that the tradition of Onmyoji has almost become extinct in modern times.

The only thing that can be related to Onmyoji is the Seimei Shrine, which is presided over by the Shinto god!

However, even if it has become like this, Kyoto's countermeasures department still did not give up. After an analysis by the analysis department, they came to a very likely conclusion.

The seal of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has been lifted. Although they don’t know whether the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons will really wait until Ghost Festival to appear, they dare not gamble, so the sooner there is a solution, the safer it will be.

Their countermeasures have two directions. One is to directly bombard the area with artillery fire. The caliber is justice, the range is truth, and even supernatural powers cannot defeat the greatest weapon of mankind.

However, this countermeasure must not be used until the last moment, because the location of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade is Kyoto. Not to mention that Kyoto is one of the two prefectures, the population alone is over 1.5 million. Even if everyone goes for emergency shelter, it is impossible that there will be no losses.

If there really is a war of attrition, the first to go crazy will definitely be the Kyoto government.

Therefore, the second countermeasure is the most important solution at present, which is to find the inheritance of Yin-Yang Taoism and use Yin-Yang spells to fight against the possible Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

During the Heian period, demons were rampant and the people were living in misery due to the chaos caused by various monsters. However, the Onmyoji Abe Haruaki, who was highly skilled in magic at the time, used his wisdom to drive away the demons and gods.

With the power of one person, seal hundreds of ghosts!

According to the legend that has been passed down to this day, the remains of Seimei's residence are still sealed in the underground of Seimei Shrine, but no one believed it before.

But in this situation, we have to believe it. The reason why we can't find it must be because the seal is too hidden, or people without the Yin-Yang Eyes can't see the seal. Anyway, it must be there, otherwise the appearance of those monsters doesn't make sense.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is Abe Haruaki's Shikigami. It is said that many of the Shikigami that the other party has used are sealed in the Seimei Shrine.

But I have no idea where exactly it is.

"Lord, we hope you can think it over more carefully. After all, this concerns the safety of more than 1.5 million people in Kyoto!"

Inside the Seimei Shrine, the action operators of the countermeasures department are trying their best to persuade the shrine's lord, hoping that he can remember where Abe Seimei's shikigami is sealed as soon as possible.

They are all members of the Operations Department, or to put it simply, they are tools who run errands everywhere.

Under the decision of the Kyoto Countermeasures Department, all temples and shrines in Kyoto are being interrogated by action operators. Although they have been there once before, now it has reached a life-threatening level, and they must find a solution even if they have to dig deep into the ground.

Among them, the Seimei Shrine is the most strict. It is not only equipped with professional people to get answers, but also with fully equipped search personnel. These search personnel are each equipped with a shovel and are ready to dig on the spot at any time.

"I really don't know..." The God who was questioned wanted to cry but had no tears. If he really knew those mysterious spells or the contracted Shikigami, could he still be an ordinary God here?

"Besides, shouldn't dealing with demons and monsters be related to Onmyoji? This is a shrine, it belongs to the Shinto system, not the Onmyoji system."

"But this is called Seimei Shrine." The operator said seriously, "Abe Seimei is the great Onmyoji of Heian-kyō. There must be something missing from the ruins of his mansion."

"Then go find the descendants of Abe Haruaki!" After hearing the operator's explanation, the god said with a sad face, "I'm not an Onmyoji, what's the point of asking me? Go find the people of the Tsuchimikado family, their family has been Onmyoji for generations!"

Seeing that the Lord God was about to cry out of grievance, the interrogating operator and his companion looked at each other and then shook their heads together. It seemed that they really couldn't get anything out of him.

If he could keep his mouth shut under such questioning, then they really underestimated this God. However, he had even revealed the color of his underwear, so he should not be hiding any secrets.

The operator waved his hand, indicating that the Lord God didn't need to answer any more questions. Before the Lord God could show any joy, two more people came forward and each grabbed one side of the Lord God.

"Although you don't have to answer our questions, you still have to go with us, if for no other reason, just in case."

Under the desperate eyes of the God Lord, he was taken away directly by two operators, one on each side, while the two operators who were questioning him walked to the side and started smoking.

"Do you think there are any monsters or shikigami in this shrine?"

"Who knows? Anyway, we are just running errands, and we are running errands at the risk of our lives. If a monster appears at this time, we will be dead."

"Don't say that. It's unlucky. If possible, I would like to be transferred to Tokyo. The Supernatural Countermeasures Department there truly possesses supernatural powers."

"You mean the demon sword?"

"That's right. Didn't you know? The knife found its match a few weeks ago. What a coincidence that such a thing happened to us not long after. If we don't make any progress here, I'm afraid we really have to ask for help from the Countermeasures Department over there."

"Tsk, it's just that the people over there are lucky."

Chapter 351: Demon Sword Master

Xianmeilian is one of the three bright swords of the demon king Otakemaru. It is azure blue all over and dotted with blue crystals. It has powerful abilities and seems to be able to control the power of weather.

In the previous battle, the knife was broken in half, but they got the half with the handle. They thought they could gain powerful supernatural powers, but they didn't expect it to be a hidden danger.

The person who obtained the magic sword was bewitched by the Demon King and turned into a demon. Fortunately, with the help of the gods, he was able to seal the broken sword. Although its power was greatly reduced, it also lost its ability to bewitch people.

Only when you hold it in your hand can you use it with confidence.

"Huh, I didn't expect that after dragging on for several months, I found a user a few weeks ago."

Ichiro Kamiki looked at the young man who was using the demon sword skillfully in the venue, with a look of relief on his face. Fortunately, he was the person in charge of the demon sword, otherwise who could have persisted for so long and not given up.

You know, even the Heisei samurai Machii Isao failed, but he did not give up.

He first looked for various famous kendo masters and visited them one by one, but none of them worked. Then he suddenly thought that it might be because those kendo masters were too old.

Because they are too old, there is very limited room for improvement. Although their skills have been honed to the extreme, their energy and spirit are not as good as those of young people.

Moreover, for the demon sword that possesses extraordinary power, technology is not the point at all. He has carefully observed videos of other people using demon swords to fight.

He discovered that anyone who used the magic sword was using the power of elements, and did not use much real swordsmanship.

Perhaps the requirements for achieving success in the sword art are not that high? It is not that one must hone the sword art to perfection, but that knowing how to use the sword is enough?

With this idea in mind, Ichiro Kamiki went to the best gyms to look for apprentices with talent, specifically those who were young and energetic.

It took several more months of searching, and finally, his hard work paid off, and he finally found someone who could use the magic sword in a gym.

Looking at the demon sword user who had stopped practicing, Kamiki Ichiro walked forward slowly. He was young and full of justice. If he was not only seventeen years old, he would definitely pull the other party into his team.

Seventeen years old is really too young. If I could be ten years older, it would be just right.
