I'm a Hokage in Tokyo

"Do you have any idea?"

"I can only kill her, I can't save her."

Yuhuo shook his head and then looked at the torii behind him.

"But the witch will surely be able to purify the evil spirit from her!"

Chapter 274 Chapter 275 The Penglai Witch in the Eyes of the Reincarnated

"Hungry ghosts are evil spirits that wander the mountains and possess people who are hungry."

Yuhuo took out half a piece of chocolate that he had treasured from his body, unwrapped it, held it in his hand, and then placed it on the ground in front of him.

The long-haired woman's nose twitched, bloody saliva flowed from her mouth, and her eyes followed the chocolate bar and moved around. Her stomach made a series of rumbling sounds.

Finally, like a wild dog snatching food, it pounced on the chocolate and put it into its mouth.

After taking the chocolate in her mouth, the long-haired woman, who had originally had a ferocious expression like a wild beast, also calmed down.

But the long-haired woman lying on the ground had a wide hole behind her head. The scales on Yuhuo's arms were stretched tight, and with his quick eyes and hands, he cut the back of the long-haired woman's neck with a knife.

The long-haired woman rolled her eyes and fainted with a distorted face.

"Does this solve the problem?" Hirota Tulio approached cautiously and asked.

"I'll leave the rest up to the miko. The miko can purify evil spirits like hungry ghosts with just her little finger."

Yuhuo nodded, first glanced at the towering sacred peak, then turned around and looked into the distance. His sight seemed to penetrate the sea of ​​trees and look towards the beach, sadness and melancholy flowing in the depths of his eyes.

"When I was little, my mother used hungry ghosts to scare me. If I ate facing the mountain, the food would go into the hungry ghost's stomach and I would never be full. But this was the first time I saw a hungry ghost."

Hirota Tulio remained silent.

Judging from the previous ballad, Miss Yuhuo's mother should be a human. Even if the villagers on Penglai Island had a lifespan of nearly two hundred years, they would have long since turned into a handful of earth.

"Let's go, we'll be there soon."

The complex emotions in Yuhuo's eyes blended into a hint of hidden determination. He carried the long-haired woman on the ground on his back and walked towards the torii.

Hirota Tulio quickly pulled up the young man who was lying on the ground and yelling, and followed closely behind him with the foreign woman.

Although a piece of flesh was bitten off from the shoulder, it was only a superficial injury. The young man covered the wound and cursed loudly, shouting that he would break up after returning home.

A group of people finally walked out of the forest and headed towards the red torii gate a few hundred meters away.

A gentle breeze blew by, creating ripples in the grass formed by wild grass and flowers on the flat ground.

A faint fishy smell also came with the wind.

Yuhuo's face changed and he suddenly raised his head and looked towards another forest.

"Hiss-"

The woods were suddenly separated, and with a heavy friction sound, four yellow and cold vertical pupils rose into the air.

It was an extremely huge two-headed blue-grey snake with purple ropes similar to Shimenawa tied around its neck. The part of the snake exposed outside was more than ten meters long.

"Miss Yuhuo..."

Hirota Tulio's calves were cramping and he looked over with a look for help.

Compared with the two-headed giant snake in front of him, the five-colored snake before was simply a stunted dwarf.

"I have never seen this two-headed snake before." Yuhuo looked at the blue-gray scales of the two-headed giant snake, his eyes fixed, and he murmured: "The blue scales, could it be the unknown monster that killed the centipede?"

"Fizz!"

The two heads of the two-headed giant snake roared, its forked tongue moving in and out of its mouth, and its huge and heavy body quickly crawled towards the group of people, uprooting mountains and trees.

"Hurry up and get into the Torii. You'll be safe once you're inside!"

Yuhuo pushed the long-haired woman on his back towards them, and then rushed towards the two-headed giant snake like a rabbit.

"Come and lend a hand, help your girlfriend... Damn it! You coward, you wimp!"

Hirota Tulio supported the unconscious long-haired woman and called out to her, but he soon discovered that the young man was so scared that he was pissing his pants and running away in the direction of the Torii.

Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.

As the galloping fishing fire ran, fish scales covered its entire body, and semi-permeable fins extended from its wrists, turning it into a half-human, half-fish, bird-like creature. It was obvious that it had exerted all its strength from the very beginning.

"Qiang!"

There was a series of teeth-grinding scratching sounds as Yuhuo tried to cut off the head of the two-headed giant snake as he had done before.

But the scales of the two-headed giant snake were much stronger than those of the five-colored snake. Amidst the flying sparks, only a few scales broke, and the snake was mostly intact.

"boom!"

A head suddenly popped up and knocked the fishing fire into the air.

The other snake head opened its mouth wide and swallowed Yuhuo whole in one gulp!

"Miss Yuhuo!"

Hirota Tulio, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but burst into tears. He didn't know how many favors Miss Yuhuo had received along the way, and he couldn't accept that they were separated from each other before he could even confess his love.

"Hiss."

For a prehistoric monster like the two-headed giant snake, one person is not even an appetizer. After swallowing the fishing fire in one gulp, it began to stare at the remaining people.

Under the stare of four cold and terrifying vertical pupils, Hirota Tulio and the foreign woman broke out in sweat in an instant, and their bodies almost collapsed to the ground.

The two-headed giant snake slid towards them slowly but quickly, and its huge shadow covered their faces like the cloak of the god of death.

Hirota Tulio saw from the corner of his eye that the young man had stumbled and run for dozens of meters, but it was useless. For such a huge monster, it could easily catch up with a tiny human's dozen steps just by moving its body.

Is this the end?

Hirota Tulio thought unwillingly and desperately.

There is nothing more cruel than this, seeing the land of hope right in front of you, but falling at the threshold.

At this moment, a long, pure and clear light appeared in an instant, like a meteor breaking through the sky.

In the blooming dazzling white light, the two-headed giant snake was split into two directly from its forked abdomen, and the snake necks on both sides fell heavily to the ground.

Hirota Tulio couldn't help but widen his eyes, but his pupils shrank to the limit.

Demon-destroying arrow!

Hundreds of steps above the red torii, a shrine maiden wearing a white top and red bottom dress and with long black hair was standing with a bow.

Although he couldn't see the face clearly from a distance, Hirota Tulio couldn't help but tremble with excitement and his eyes became hot.

Another narrow escape!

Looking at the foreign woman next to her, she also had tears in her eyes and was praying with her hands folded.

"Cough, cough, cough."

A bloody figure emerged from the broken neck of the giant snake, coughing continuously.

That’s great, Miss Yuhuo is fine too.

As soon as the bloody fishing fire saw the witch standing on the stone steps in the distance, it immediately fell to the ground devoutly.

"Miko-sama!"

The witch nodded and disappeared.

"Miss Yuhuo, you are not hurt, are you?"

Seeing the fishing fire coming towards him, Hirota Tulio immediately stepped forward to ask about their well-being.

I don’t know what special skills Miss Yuhuo possessed, but all the blood on her body has been cleaned, and everything from the corners of her clothes to the ends of her hair is clean and fresh.

"It's alright. Without further ado, let's go and see the miko-sama."

"Um, Miss Yuhuo. Did you notice the rope tied around the two-headed snake's neck?"

Hirota Tulio glanced at the giant snake's body parts, hesitated for a moment, and reminded.

The rope similar to the Shimenawa is obviously not a natural creation, which means that there is a dark hand behind the two-headed giant snake that controls it.

"I see."

A hint of complex hesitation appeared in Yuhuo's eyes, and he murmured.

Hirota Tulio carried the still unconscious long-haired woman on his back and followed the fishing lights to the torii gate. The young man who had left his girlfriend behind and ran away smiled awkwardly.

Glancing at him, Hirota Tulio showed some disdain, but did not open his mouth to scold him.

However, once Hirota Tulio leaves Penglai Island, he will definitely be put on the blacklist.

A group of people followed the fishing fire and bowed in front of the red torii.

Walk past the red torii and up the stone steps. Every few dozen steps there is a pair of stone lanterns placed on both sides.

Soon, they reached the stone steps where the witch appeared. Behind it was a medium-sized platform on the mountainside. In the middle was a staircase leading to the top of the mountain, and on the left was a photography shrine.

A shrine is a small shrine or temple outside of the main shrine and the main hall.

"Miko-sama!"

As soon as he saw the priestess standing in front of the photography shrine, Yuhuo immediately prostrated himself on the ground and paid homage to her.

Hirota Tulio and the young man were Japanese after all, so they also fell to the ground.

The foreign woman hesitated for a moment. She had seen too many incredible things on Penglai Island, and now was not the time to insist on her faith, so she knelt down on the ground tactfully.

"Get up."

A clear and pleasant voice came, like the sound of a spring flowing in the mountains.

Only then did Hirota Tulio dare to raise his head. The Penglai priestess had her back to them, and behind her back with black hair like a waterfall, the flags on both sides of the photo shrine were fluttering in the wind.

Looking closely, the pattern on the flag was a red spiral magatama pointing upwards in a yellow circle.

With Hirota Tulio's limited experience, he couldn't tell which god this symbolized.

"I already know what you are seeking. These are truly troubled times. Even Penglai cannot be at peace in this era."

Hirota Tulio's heart skipped a beat and he quickly withdrew his gaze, lowering his head respectfully, as if he was awaiting trial.

"Since you have no intention of settling here, and you haven't stayed for more than twelve hours, you can leave."

Hirota Tulio couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But then I started to worry about gains and losses again.

Although he didn't understand what immortal fate was, leaving like this was like going to a mountain of treasures and returning empty-handed, and he always felt a little uneasy.

Not willing to give in, but helpless.

"Miko-sama, please save my girlfriend! She seems to have been possessed by some evil spirit in the forest. She didn't even recognize me, her most beloved person. She even bit me and the bleeding hasn't stopped yet!"

The young man knocked his head heavily on the ground and spoke with tears in his eyes.

Who are you pretending to be so affectionate for at this time?

You must be saying this because you want the miko to heal your injuries.

Hirota Tulio grumbled in his heart.

"Silence."

It was just two plain words, and the young man closed his mouth with a nervous look, not daring to say a word.

"After she stepped into the Torii gate, the spiritual energy of the mountain purified the evil spirit that was attached to her, and now she is safe."

Hirota Tulio looked over quickly. Even though the long-haired woman was unconscious, her face was distorted and hideous as if she was having a nightmare, and her intestines were making strange noises.

Although his face is pale now, he has regained his calm and stability.

Hirota Tulio's reverence for the miko reached a new level, and he drove away the hungry ghost without even lifting a finger.

"Mister Miko, Yuhuo has a request for you!"

Yuhuo, who had been worshipping the fallen fisherman, said with gritted teeth.

At the same time, he opened the package behind him, held it in both hands and raised it above his head. The jade branches on it were shining brightly and the precious light was flowing. It was obvious that it was an extraordinary thing.

"It is indeed the Penglai Jade Branch."

The Penglai witch's tone remained calm, but she finally turned around and revealed her true face.
