Miss Heber is fighting her way out of the Lostbelt!

Tanuki Taro felt cold all over when Miss A-Long stared at him.

Fortunately, Hebe finally came out at this time, and the little black Shiba Inu followed her, wagging its tail happily.

"The matter has been resolved. You can take this little dog demon away." Heber looked at the demon raccoon. "From now on, don't do such ignorant things again. The Yin-Yang Master and the magician will show no mercy."

The fox demon's eyes were filled with tears. He knew that he and the little dog demon were able to survive thanks to the great demon from China in front of him.

"I swear, Tanuki-taro!" the demon raccoon shouted, "From now on, I will obey your orders and go through fire and water without hesitation. If I have any little raccoons in the future, I will make them swear as well."

Heber curled his lips and said, "You don't have to go through fire and water, but there is indeed something I need you for right now."

The raccoon heard the girl in front of him opening and closing her lips, uttering words that sounded like a nightmare.

"To reach Heian-kyō, we need to pass through Oeyama, which is ruled by Shuten-doji. Ms. Arlong and I have decided that you will be our guide."

The fox demon was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze for a long time.

"Ah...ah?" He stammered, pointing at himself, "Me?"

"If it's not you, then how could it be this little dog demon?" Heber pointed at the little Shiba Inu beside him that couldn't even speak human language.

"This, this can't be done."

The fox demon was trembling with anxiety. "Dajiang Mountain is now the territory of the ghost tribe. The two ghost kings are exercising a cruel rule. They act recklessly and willfully cut out the hearts and livers of monsters and humans to eat with wine."

"The Great Demon King Shuten-douji once traveled across the Cathay Continent. The demons called her the daughter of Ibukiyama Daimyojin, a deity who was both a demon and a dragon. In reality, she had no interest in ruling Mount Oe or the demons. It was Ibaraki-douji who actually built the city on Mount Oe and gathered the demons."

"Ibaraki Douji is truly formidable." The raccoon's face paled with fear when he mentioned her name. "She's a natural-born demon. Although a demon, she possesses the strategy of a human. On a whim, she once led a group of demons to attack Heian-kyo, killing countless samurai, onmyoji, and mages, and taking many nobles abducted."

"The most terrifying thing is that Ibaraki Douji has completely transformed the demon group into an army!"

The raccoon kept talking about how noble Shuten-douji was, and also exaggerated the cruelty and horror of Ibaraki-douji, just to discourage Heber from going to Heian-kyo.

Unfortunately, this argument not only failed to convince Heber, but also aroused the desire to win of Miss Aaron who was listening.

"Hehe." Miss A'long flexed her arms. "Miss A'long is not afraid of a fight. She's happy when she hears about a fight!"

The fox demon was stunned, and then slapped his forehead in frustration.

He should have realized that Miss Aaron was a hidden violent person.

Now that Miss Aaron's competitive spirit has been aroused, it's too late to regret.

……

After breakfast, Heber and his group left Hyuga Castle early.

There was already someone waiting at the city gate. It was the samurai Miura, whom Hebe had met yesterday.

"My master asked me to wait here." Miura showed an honest smile and handed over the cloth bag in his hand.

Heber took it and looked at it. Inside were some Tang coins and wrapped rice balls.

She did not refuse, took the cloth bag prepared by the noble surnamed Minamoto, and gave it to Miss Along to carry.

Miura Samurai hesitated a little: "Sir Tamamo... I want to say goodbye to Ashiba."

Achai is the name given to the little dog demon by Miura, but it is obvious that the little dog demon does not like it very much.

Heber looked at the little dog demon: "What do you think?"

"Woo..." The little dog demon tilted its head and made a soft whimpering sound.

Ling! Meng% First+Post "She agreed."

Heber nodded to Miura and took Miss Arlong and the raccoon away for a distance.

Miura half-knelt on the ground, whispering something to the little Shiba Inu.

After a few minutes, he reached out and touched the little Shiba Inu's head, then stood up and watched the little Shiba Inu run towards Heber.

Heber put his hands in his sleeves, nodded to Miura, and then left Hyuga Castle Town without looking back.

After taking a few steps, Heber saw words that only he could see.

Current Lostbelt Progress: 10%

Located southeast of Kyushu Island, Hyuga Province was part of what would later become known as the Saikaido (Sea Road), making it a remote corner of the borderlands. According to later maps, reaching the main island of Toguro required crossing the sea, but at this time, Kyushu and Toguro were still connected by land.

Heber has become accustomed to the subtle differences between the Lostbelt, the present world, and his memories of his past life. This is also the charm of secret history.

There is a road connecting Hyuga Province to Bungo Province. It is just the middle of spring now, and flowers of various colors are blooming in the mountains and fields.

If a nobleman were to travel and see this beautiful scenery, he would certainly compose poetry and songs to praise the beauty of the brilliant mountain flowers.

Heber looked at the scattered villages, his eyes sweeping over the numb-faced farmers, thinking that they probably didn't have such thoughts.

The nobleman named Minamoto from Hyuga Castle Town has recently become very famous, and the waka poems he composed have also spread throughout Bungo Province.

"In the West there is a fairy named Ji, who relieves me of my worries and troubles, and who can subdue raccoons and tame dogs. She teaches me about loyalty and righteousness, and helps me spread my glorious name even further!"

It seems that before the nine-tailed fox was regarded as the embodiment of beauty, its reputation for wisdom had to spread first.

From the distant hilltop came the noise of music and dancing.

Hebe stopped and listened.

The fox demon ran fast and soon came back to tell Heber, "The bride is being escorted up the mountain."

ps: I have to work today, so there are only two updates (annoying)

ps2: The prototype of the noble surname Minamoto is Minamoto no Shigeyuki, one of the Thirty-Six Poet Immortals.

Dongguo Volume: 65 You fox demon!

"The bride is going up the mountain." Heber repeated Yao Li's words, "Are you sure?"

"I've seen it before when I was in Dajiang Mountain." The fox demon replied in the affirmative.

Heber shook his head: "Let's go and take a look."

"Saga, let's go."

"Woof!" The black little dog demon ran happily in front.

Saga was the name of the little Shiba Inu, which was theoretically quite presumptuous, as the 52nd Emperor's title was Saga. However, since no one present was a stickler for etiquette, it didn't matter.

Image: "嵯娥", Location: "Images/1737973655-100425178-112601102.jpg"

Most importantly, the little dog demon likes this name very much.

Just call him that, besides, Emperor Saga himself has no objection.

The mountain path was not difficult to walk on, but it took longer than expected. When Heber and his group arrived, they could only see the tail end of the team.

"It's not too late."

Hebe calmly rolled up his sleeves and followed the group of people in a legitimate manner.

……

Saburo is already very tired.

They carried the bride's sedan chair, crossed two barren mountains, passed through the gloomy black wind over the lake, and walked into a mountain area with lush grass and water.

In this long procession, the bride sat in a sedan chair in the front, and behind was a horse-drawn cart.

A wizard in black was sitting cross-legged on the cart.

"I'm so tired! So tired!"

Sanlang felt as if his body was wailing, and the place where his shoulders touched the crossbar was burning like fire, making his steps shaky and hallucinations seem to appear in front of his eyes.

In fact, after being shared by many people, the long horizontal beam was not very heavy for him alone, but Sanlang felt that he was about to be overwhelmed.

There were many people like Sanlang. They looked at each other secretly, and saw fatigue and fear on each other's bloodless faces.

——They couldn’t stop until the wizard sitting on the cart gave the order.

If this continues, they will be exhausted before they even get the bride to her destination.

The convoy was moving slowly forward through the lush mountains and fields, and the person who had played the flute at the beginning now joined the crowd carrying the instruments.

Suddenly, the horses pulling the cart neighed, raised their hooves and dropped them, leaving deep hoof prints on the meadow - the prints became deeper and deeper, gradually sinking into the meadow and mud.

The horse neighed unwillingly, but could not move forward any further!

"Hmm..." The black-robed wizard released his hand seal meaningfully and looked at the sky which had darkened at some point, and the clouds rolling in the sky.

"arrive."

The words of the black-robed wizard rang clearly in everyone's ears.

If it were before, this sentence would be no different from the imperial decree from the Immortal Palace. But now something strange happened, and the wind was howling in the sky. How could these ignorant civilians leave with peace of mind?

The sedan chair carrying the bride was placed on the meadow, and everyone ran towards the black-robed wizard in panic.

The black-robed wizard was still sitting on the cart, looking up at the sky.

"All those without surnames, without offerings to deities, and without official positions, close your eyes and cover your ears."

As soon as the words fell, most people closed their eyes, covered their ears with their hands, and squatted on the ground trembling.

The few guards around the black-robed wizard did the same.

"The sky is collapsing and the earth is splitting apart. The five corpses are dissolving into their forms. The three platforms are hanging upside down. The nine stars are killing together...Hum Ha Ni Fu Luo Zha."

The black-robed wizard raised his left hand, formed a hand seal between his eyebrows, and then pushed it onto the cart.

An inverted pentagram emerged from the cart.

The black-robed mage chanted in authentic Tang Dynasty Chinese: "Hurry up and obey the orders of our venerable master Daoman."

A black wind roared up from the ground, carrying the black-robed wizard and the guards who had not closed their eyes or covered their ears, and they disappeared in an instant.

"...Mage? Mage!"

The guards who were abandoned by the black wizard roared in despair, waking up all the civilians who were still squatting on the ground.

After they realized that they were abandoned by the wizard, their only remaining hope turned into despair.

And at this moment, the storm brewing in the clouds is descending.

As luck would have it, Heber and his group were also affected by the storm.

......

"Let Miss Aaron come!"

Miss A-long, who couldn't wait to try it out, volunteered and transformed directly into her original form.

But then I saw a huge dragon snake wrapped in a thick black wind flying off the ground, raising its head and breathing into the clouds.

Intense flames spewed out from the giant snake's mouth, tearing through the clouds like a sharp sword, and tearing the brewing storm into a scattered and uncertain gale, blowing the people on the ground so hard that they could not stand steadily. They could only kneel on the ground, wishing they could bury their heads in the dirt!

"Huh?" A surprised voice came from the clouds, "Such a strong aura! Is he about to transform into a dragon?"

As soon as the words fell, two thick clouds gathered again.

This time, it wasn't just a storm brewing, but also bluish-white lightning.

After Miss A Long transformed into her original form, she said nothing, but her throat moved and another burst of flames spurted out.

"Hmph. I mean well, but you don't know what's good for you and let the bad guys use you... Well, I'll make you suffer!"

The person in the cloud flapped his wings and flipped the round fan in his hand.

The sky and earth were gloomy, and things were upside down and in a state of confusion. Suddenly, white thunder and purple lightning flashed in the west, and from the ground, there suddenly arose evil clouds and strange winds. Thunder roared, blasting the rocks on the ground into powder. The storm swept through, and the ancient pines at the foot of the mountain were uprooted.

The lush mountains of Bungo Province seemed to have lost their color, and the rivers flowing through the mountains were turned upside down.

The Tengu on the cloud laughed heartily, looking at the big snake that was so arrogant just now, now as helpless as a straw rope in the wind, and rode the wind down with ease, landing on the top of the mountain on stilts and wooden clogs.

"What? You, a giant snake that's about to transform into a dragon! Do you recognize the name of my Ghost One Dharma Eye?!"

……

"What is she mumbling about?"

Miss A-Long watched the Tengu suddenly descend from the clouds and perform the one-legged stand on the ground.

After landing on the ground, the heavenly dog was also very restless. Sometimes it laughed, sometimes it got angry, and it muttered incoherently.

"I guess she must have fallen into Lord Tamamo's illusion, and then she thought she was very powerful and defeated us all." Yao Li said casually.

The loud laughter gradually died down, and the white-haired Tengu gradually regained consciousness.
