I'm tied to Athena.

"Why should I listen to someone of unknown origin?" The young man's voice was filled with arrogance. "Or is this fox actually your pet? If so, I can buy it with money."

"No, it's not my pet. I just can't bear to see a living being die here."

"Living beings? They are just animals, not living beings! Besides, is there anything wrong with humans hunting animals?"

"It's probably useless to talk about protecting animals with people of this era." Scratching his head, Li Yun felt that he might not be able to convince the boy, so he picked up the little fox on the ground and held it in his palm, smiling gently at the boy, "Bye."

Before the voice had completely fallen, Li Yun disappeared, just as he had just come out.

“Young Master!?” The warriors showed surprised expressions. They looked at the boy, “That person just now was a monster!”

They appear and disappear mysteriously, and call animals living creatures "monsters" in today's world.

Ignoring how much fear his actions would cause to the young man and his companions, Li Yun brought the little fox to the other side of the Dark Night Mountain.

After making sure that there was no one around, Li Yun put the little thing down and said, "Okay, it's safe here."

"Be careful next time, don't let yourself be targeted again."

Li Yun was not worried that the little fox didn't understand what he said.

Because he knew that the fox had developed its own consciousness and could understand human words.

To use the professional terminology of this era, that is - this fox has turned into a demon.

The little fox nodded very human-like, then circled around Li Yun, making some cute sounds from its throat.

"You don't want me to leave?" Young foxes rarely make any sound. If they want to keep something, they will use the most common actions in the animal world to express it. And this little fox is trying to keep him.

"Coo coo..." The little fox nodded and bit his trouser leg with its little mouth. That adorable expression was simply enough to melt you.

"I see, since I was just born and my mental state is less than a year old, I think I am my parent..."

The little fox in front of you is not a normal wild fox, it is a unique monster born in this world.

Similar to a seventeen-year-old beautiful girl.

That's why Li Yun chose to rescue it.

It would be such a shame if such a being died here so easily.

And it's a coincidence that this little fox, as a creature born from absorbing people's resentment, hatred and other dark things, possesses a very direct power, darkness.

It regards Li Yun as its parent, probably because it feels a power in Li Yun that is purer than its own.

"Although I also adopted you, little guy, I came here for something." Li Yun squatted down and gently stroked its fur with his hand, "So..."

As if the little guy understood Li Yun's words, he whimpered, and his pure black eyes were even misty.

"...." Looking at the little guy's expression, Li Yun shook his head helplessly, "Okay, I'll take you with me, little guy, but little guy, you have to promise me not to run around casually. If you are spotted by bad guys again, I won't be able to rush to save you in the first time."

"Gu, gu."

After getting permission, the little fox immediately started spinning around happily.

"Okay, come up." He stretched out his palm in front of the little fox, and the little fox climbed up Li Yun's shoulder along his palm and nuzzled his face affectionately.

"Let's first take a look at what era this is." Li Yun set off with the little fox.

Coming to the city in the east from the Black Night Mountain, Li Yun could tell from the language and clothing that this was ancient Japan, but he was not sure what exact era it was.

In order not to be too conspicuous, Li Yun dressed himself up a little and put on the unique clothing of this era.

Later, he learned about this era from the people - the Heian Period!

"I didn't expect it was the Heian period. I came to such an incredible place." Li Yun was a little surprised that he actually came to the Heian period. And the Heian period had just been established, that is, in 794 AD.

The Heian period was the last imperial era in ancient Japan, and also the most exciting era.

The most famous thing about this era is the legendary Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

——A picture woven together by monsters and humans.

In the legend of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, the most famous are the Demon King of Oeyama, the Onmyoji Ampei Haruaki, and the samurai Minamoto no Raikou.

However, Ampere Haruaki and Minamoto no Raikou were both born more than 900 years ago, and they don’t even know where they are now.

Ghost stories have always existed in Japan, but with the development of the times, these ghost stories reached their peak in the Heian period. Similarly, Onmyoji and samurai also reached their peak in this era.

"If the request for help is from this era, then it should be related to monsters..."

This world is different from the Type-Moon world. Li Yun knows nothing about this world. If something happens in this world and he needs help, he needs to find the reason himself.

When talking about Japanese monsters, the first things that come to his mind are Tamamonomae, Yamata-no-Orochi, Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji.

Of course, although Daitengu is also among them, compared with these four big monsters, Daitengu is still a little naive.

Moreover, compared to Tamamonomae who appeared at the end of the Heian period and the Yamata-no-Orochi who was sealed in the era of eight million gods, Li Yun still thinks it is more reliable to investigate Ibaraki-douji and Shuten-douji.

"I wonder what Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji are like in this world." Li Yun couldn't help but recall the two demon kings in FGO.

To be honest, when talking about these two ghost kings, as a moon man, he would subconsciously bring the moon's ghost king into it.

But of course, he also knew that the moon was the moon and other worlds were other worlds.

"Anyway, be prepared for these two ghost kings to look ugly."

With this thought in mind, Li Yun left the newly built Heian-kyo and headed towards Oeyama.

Chapter 414: Two Shuten-doji?

Shuten-doji is the most famous monster and leader of the demon clan during the Heian period in Japan, and also the most well-known monster in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Legend has it that Shuten-doji was originally a young monk who served in Echigo-ji Temple. Because of his handsome appearance, he attracted the jealousy and frame-up of others, which gradually led to his evil thoughts. These evil thoughts accumulated too deeply, and eventually he turned into the monster Shuten-doji.

Although Li Yun was not quite sure why Shuten-douji, who was framed by men out of jealousy in the legend, turned into a monster and specifically seduced virgins and cut off their breasts for food, this could not conceal the fact that Shuten-douji was a real virgin killer.

Shuten-doji appeared in the Heian period in 990 AD. He lived on Mt. Oe in Tamba Province and gathered a group of evil spirits to become the king of the mountain.

Not only did they secretly build iron palaces, they also sneaked into the homes of the rich at night to steal treasures and abducted women and children to feed them.

In fact, judging from the real legend alone, Shuten-doji is a truly evil demon and an enemy of mankind. He is definitely not like a certain watermelon in the East or a certain loli on the moon.

Although there is a difference of 200 years between the 794th year where Li Yun is now and the 990th year when Shuten Douji was active, no one knows in which era Shuten Douji was born and in which era the ghosts of Mount Oe gathered.

Therefore, Li Yun decided to try his luck. Maybe the ghosts from Dajiang Mountain had already appeared by now?

Oeyama is located at the junction of Amada, Kasawa and Yosa counties in Kyoto. It is 800 meters above sea level, so it is also called Senjoyama.

Because Oeyama is not far from Kyoto, it is also the only way to enter and exit Kyoto.

But Li Yun walked on this road and didn't see anyone!

No one was seen, whether going to Kyoto or leaving Kyoto.

"Gu, gu."

The little fox nudged Li Yun's face and made a sound that sounded a little frightened.

"Did you feel it too, little one?" He gently rubbed the little fox's head. "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

According to legend, the ghosts of Oeyama committed all kinds of crimes on this road, including burning, killing and looting. Anyone passing through this road would be targeted by them.

Relying on this road, Shuten-doji also extended his reach into Kyoto.

This eventually incurred the wrath of the royal family and they were wiped out by the Genji clan.

Therefore, there is a very strong evil spirit on this road.

As a newly born monster, the little fox felt a little fear of the terrifying evil spirit in the air, and followed his instinct to seek Li Yun's shelter.

"Master... No, the little mouse is coming." The footsteps suddenly stopped. At some point, many evil ghosts with green faces and fangs appeared around Li Yun.

They surrounded Li Yun, holding weapons such as maces, swords, and axes in their hands.

"Where did this little ghost come from? How dare you take this road?" The evil ghosts had ferocious faces and the demonic aura on their bodies was so strong that it was suffocating. The little fox was so scared that he hid in Li Yun's clothes.

"Excuse me, could you please hold your breath? My little fox is scared."

"Hahaha, kid, you know..."

The evil ghosts laughed loudly, mocking and teasing Li Yun without any expression, but their laughter only lasted for a second.

Vast and majestic, the momentum of heaven and earth blows gently like a spring breeze.

Their momentum was crushed in an instant, and a feeling of suffocation fell upon them!

"You are not the evil ghosts from Dajiang Mountain." Li Yun rubbed the little fox through his clothes, and his smile slowly turned cold.

He felt the violence in these monsters, the violence that had killed and eaten humans.

Moreover, unlike the orderly ghosts in Oeyama, these evil ghosts have no faith or will in their eyes. They just attack humans according to their instincts.

"The aura on this road is exactly the same as the aura on your body. If it is really the evil ghosts from Mount Dajiang, then it is impossible for the same group of evil ghosts to act every time."

That’s right, this is also one of the reasons why Li Yun judged that these evil ghosts were not the ghosts of Dajiang Mountain.

"Using the name of Dajiangshan to do evil here...it seems that Dajiangshan has appeared." This is good news for Li Yun.

"To thank you for telling me this news, I will help you end this sinful life."

"tread!"

Li Yun's figure disappeared from the ghosts' sight, and at the same time, footsteps were heard from behind them.

This is the last sound they heard before closing their eyes and feeling death...

After dealing with the evil ghosts blocking the road, Li Yun continued to move forward. The little fox in his arms saw that the evil ghosts had disappeared, and immediately ran out of his arms and nuzzled Li Yun's face affectionately.

The man and the fox played and fought on the road, just like traveling, without any pressure.

After walking for about another three hours, Li Yun finally arrived at the foot of Dajiang Mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking at this legendary place where hundreds of ghosts gather, Li Yun can clearly see the evil spirit rising into the sky.

Every inch of land and every corner of Dajiang Mountain exudes amazing evil spirit, which spreads upwards and condenses at the top of the mountain.

If there was an Onmyoji here, he would definitely see that the sky within a hundred miles was covered with evil spirits.

Low, cold, yet bold and unrestrained!

But no matter what, this is definitely not something that humans can deal with.

Retracting his gaze, Li Yun began to climb Dajiang Mountain.

Logically speaking, there should be evil spirits guarding Mount Oe. To reach the top of Mount Oe, which is in front of Shuten-doji, you need to pass through many levels. But in reality...

Li Yun walked along the way without seeing any monsters.

"I was wondering why there weren't any monsters here, it turns out they were all gathered here." After easily climbing a few hundred meters high mountain, Li Yun arrived at the top of Dajiang Mountain.

Unlike the pointed top of the mountain seen from the outside, the top of Dajiang Mountain is flat, as if a flat land was deliberately cleared here.

The numerous evil spirits in Oeyama formed a circle on the flat ground and were shouting and yelling excitedly, as if they were gathering to gamble.

"Excuse me, please make way, please make way." Li Yun, who was very curious about what happened inside, pushed the evil spirits away and forced his way inside.

When he got to the innermost part, his brain froze.

Two very familiar figures appeared before him.

A man who was only 1.5 meters tall, but holding a big sword almost as tall as himself, and had two huge devil horns on his head.

A man with naked upper body, loose robes, flying white hair, and flames wrapped around him. Although he is not decorated with ghost horns, he is extremely domineering!

The King of Ghosts, Shuten-doji!

These two beings that exude strong demonic auras are both ghost kings.

Chapter 415: The Ghost of Mount Oe

What’s going on? Why are there two Shuten-dojis here?

and....

Shuten-doji from the Moon and...Shuten-doji from Onmyoji!

Could this world be the world of Onmyoji? His original era was actually a thousand years after the Onmyoji era?

Li Yun was bewildered.

But Li Yun's confused look did not hinder the fight between the two ghost kings.

"Woman, I recognize your strength!" The white-haired ghost king laughed wildly, with Buddhist beads wrapped around his fists, and blasted out!
