My mother's love song

"Abbot?"

The girl finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

However, at this moment, a loud noise came from the darkness and became louder and louder.

She looked closely and saw a group of dark things emerging from the dark shadows.

There were both men and women, all uttering terrifying screams.

Fayan opened his mouth wide, seeing countless strange things appearing in the temple.

A big bald ghost with one eye. A vicious dog with one leg. A woman with two heads.

A snake with legs. A lute with hands and feet. A one-horned ghost. A two-horned ghost.

A toad as big as an ox. A ghost with a horse's head.

A child crawling on the ground. A man hanging upside down from the ceiling. A head flying in the air.

A ghost with a bird's beak. A ghost with its face on its back. A wolf with wings. A pot that walks on its feet.

A thin sheet of female ghost slipped out of the painting. A female ghost with breasts hanging all over her body.

They danced, made strange noises, and lined up around the palace as if they were celebrating a temple fair.

The huge and sacred lecture hall was occupied by countless demons and monsters in an instant.

In Japan, people have a special name for this supernatural phenomenon.

Hundred Ghosts at Night.

Chapter 690 I can't do anything...ToT

A large group of demons gathered in Kurama Temple, turning the place into a demon's lair.

The huge magical power, no, in this country’s terms, the huge demonic energy dominates the space.

“… Ugh!!!”

Even the fearless Dharma Eyes were frightened by this scene and cried out in shock, falling to the ground.

However, the old abbot, with his back to her, showed no fear at all and stared at the evil spirits calmly.

"We've finally gathered here."

The old man said in a lower voice than usual, "Why does it smell like blood? Did you eat anyone before you came here?

This place is very close to the capital, and if you are caught eating people, you will get into trouble."

The demons and monsters did not answer, but only laughed loudly or softly.

"It's just an appetizer. Isn't the real dinner still to come?"

After one of the monsters said this, countless eyes turned to focus on the Dharma Eye.

"Is this the little devil?"

"Why a woman?"

"She's a woman."

"Women's meat is too fat. I still prefer men's meat, which is chewier."

"If you don't eat me, I will...Women and children are the most delicious. I still can't forget the woman I ate three years ago."

While the monsters were discussing food, one of them, a headless ghost with his brain exposed, asked the abbot.

"Hey, Monk, is what you said before true? If you eat this little devil, you can gain extraordinary power?"

The abbot nodded resolutely: "There is no doubt about it, this little ghost is a spirit of nature.

Although the intellectual establishment was only a dozen years old, its actual existence may be much longer than that of this country.

Not only that, there is something about this kid that I can't see through...

This is truly incredible. Just by eating a bite of her flesh, our demonic powers can instantly increase by hundreds of years.

By that time, the mountains and rivers that used to look down on us will no longer be anything significant!

Before the emperor we are waiting for resurrects, kill Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji first, and use their skulls as wine cups for sacrifice!"

The ghosts became agitated.

"Great! I want her eyes!"

"Then I want her arm!"

"Guts, intestines, intestines!"

"Eat her!"

"Eat her!"

Fayan listened silently to the conversation between the monsters from beginning to end.

The abbot seems to be discussing with the monsters about eating him...Why?

Did the abbot offer himself to the monsters? Impossible, the abbot I know is definitely not that kind of person!

Fa Yan bit his lip and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"

"huh huh huh huh……"

The old man's shoulders began to tremble and he let out a terrifying low laugh, like that of a demon.

"As expected of a spirit of nature, you can remain calm in a situation like this? You are such an unpleasant brat.

As you said, I am not the abbot of Kurama-dera Temple."

The old man turned around slowly.

"……what."

Fayan's eyes widened.

What appeared under the cassock was neither a human nor a monster, but a mummy.

On the terrifying face, an ominous phosphorous fire was flashing in the empty hole where the eyeballs should have been placed.

During the Heian period, a Japanese monk initiated an ascetic ritual called Jikkyobutsu, claiming it was the ultimate act of religious discipline and devotion: mummification of the self.

They starve themselves to death through years of fasting and food restriction. After death, their bodies do not rot but dry up and become whole body relics.

If successful, the monk would be placed in a temple after his death for others to admire and respect, and this monster was the embodiment of people's fear of this behavior.

Of course, the monk in front of him was not a real Buddha nor a high monk, but just a monster imitating the appearance of a mummy.

Fayan shouted, "Master Abbot... Where is the Master Abbot? What have you done to him?"

"That stubborn old man...of course he ate it."

The monster laughed and said, "Since he refused to tell me your information, I had no choice but to torture him and then eat him up. After all, I love cannibalism the most.

But you can rest assured, the only part I ate was the internal organs..."

"…………"

The girl's pupils widened, and she showed a desperate expression as she understood the meaning of the monster's words.

"You are indeed very smart. You deserve to be called the prodigy of Kurama Mountain."

The monk raised the arm which was only a skeleton, and while examining it in the candlelight, he said, “This body [skeleton] belongs to that old man.

I ate his organs, sucked his blood, and took over his body

In other words, I am him now.”

The girl silently shed tears, and the great monk spoke with pride.

"By the way, after I absorb your flesh and blood and become a true great being... I will call myself the Great Abbot of Kurama Mountain! Hahahahaha! GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

“Hahahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha!”

The hideous laughter of hundreds of demons echoed in Kurama Temple, and in the dim firelight, it sounded like the wails from hell.

In stark contrast to the other monsters who were extremely excited about having a full meal soon, Hōgan had remained silent from the beginning.

This group of demons had attacked humans countless times so far, but this was the first time they had seen a girl who didn't cry, beg for mercy, or try to run away.

For evil spirits, human cries and screams are the most delicious condiments. If the victim is a piece of wood who watches himself being eaten without any reaction, the monster will not feel satisfied even if he eats the person.

Is this kid scared silly? Just as they were thinking about this.

Fayan, who was sitting on the ground, slowly stood up.

"...?"

Although it was only for a moment, the monsters froze collectively and the ugly smiles on their faces also stopped.

Of course, the monsters had no idea that the intense chill that ran from their spine to the back of their neck was actually an emotion possessed by all living beings in this world, called fear.

However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. When they looked more closely, they found that the girl with silver hair and golden eyes who was the source of the disgusting coldness was no different from the mortals they had eaten before.

"Kill you."

The girl stared at the monk, biting her lips and clenching her fists.

"I will kill you to avenge my master.

I will kill you all as a sacrifice for the innocent people you have eaten."

""

After the girl said this, the monk was stunned.

The other monsters were also stunned.

Immediately, laughter broke out among the ranks of the hundred ghosts.

"Hahahahahaha! What is that guy talking about?"

"It's just that I was born a little more noble than others. What's so great about being a natural elf?"

"That is to say, you have never practiced martial arts and have never eaten human flesh, but you think you can defeat us? Do you have eyes? This is really embarrassing!"

"Don't be like that. She's just a kid who has only lived in a human village for more than a decade. She doesn't know anything about this world, right?"

"No matter how powerful you are, you can't be our opponent without any training! Humph, a mere brat wouldn't understand."

"He actually said he would kill us all! He's so weak that he's no different from a human!"

"Do you understand the current situation, kid?"

"Hey! You've been underestimated, Monk!"

The girl remained indifferent despite being ridiculed. She just clenched her fists, her golden pupils shining.

The monk who was confronting her was different from the other demons. He did not laugh at all, but had a tense face.

Only he knew how much potential was hidden in the girl in front of him, and that she was someone who should never be underestimated.

Although she is no different from an ordinary human child now, if she practices diligently over time, the monster army gathered here will be nothing but a mob to her.

Fortunately, his Dharma Eyesight is still very weak, and in his eyes it is just a delicious piece of meat that contains tremendous magical power like the sea.

Then, she would not see the sun the next day.

"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"

Overwhelmed by rage, Dharma Eye roared and rushed towards the monk.

The girl raised her fist and punched the mummy hard in the face.

The monk did not dare to delay and gathered his magical power and swung his arm towards Fayan.

boom!

The collision of demonic powers produced smoke, and a shadow flew out from the aftermath of the collision.

Hundreds of ghosts looked over hurriedly, and when the smoke cleared, a figure lying on the ground emerged from the darkness. As expected, it was a girl with silver hair and golden eyes.

“…Uh…”

Fa Yan, covered in wounds, fell miserably to the ground, his old clothes stained with his own blood.

Although her arm was easily broken by the monster just now, the girl still ignored the pain and struggled to stand up and fight again.
