I, enter the zero world, change the ending

"Oh, good decision, then?"

"Tell me about these two mountains, please."

You can tell this guy is serious.

Tamamo straightened her back and sat up straight, then cleared her throat.

"Tell you a story."

Tamamo has lived here for not just a few decades, but nearly 150 years. When she first came here, monsters were rampant in these two mountains, making the people living nearby miserable.

Until one day, two travelers came.

One of them was a human female with short hair, and the other was a humanoid youkai with silver-gray hair, just like her.

Later, the two travelers spent several days wiping out all the monsters on the two mountains. Since then, this generation has lived in peace. The Nunu that Zhiyao met in the cave was most likely a fish that had escaped the net and was hiding to recuperate after surviving by chance.

“That’s basically it.”

With a slight nod, Tamamo indicated that the story was over.

Zhiyao savored the plot of the story carefully. After a preliminary comparison of the characteristics of the two travelers, he said to Yumo in high spirits: "Those two travelers should be my two friends in the future."

"Really?" Tamamo was slightly surprised.

"Nine out of ten, hehe." Zhiyao laughed, "One of them has the blessing of the mermaid guardian spirit and can live forever, while the other is a monster, so it's easy for her to live for hundreds of years."

In addition, Zhiyao also vaguely thought of something about Matsumoto Sosuke.

He thought that the reason why that guy respected him so much was not only because he was a member of the Chuye Ya group who defeated monsters, but also because of the guardian spirit.

For example, the ancestors of the Matsumoto family originally lived nearby and saw the guardian spirit of Mumei, Yaobahime. Later, Mumei wiped out the monsters in the vicinity and was grateful and worshipped by their ancestors. The story of the mermaid guardian spirit was passed down from generation to generation. Then, when it came to Matsumoto Sosuke's generation, when he saw that his guardian spirit was Yaobahime, he determined that he had a deep connection with Mumei, so he respected himself so much.

"Maybe it's true." Seeing Zhiyao's thoughts, Yumozuo said.

"Why don't they seal the Gate to the Underworld as well?" Zhiyao sighed.

"Don't you know the reason?"

After this reminder, Zhiyao suddenly remembered that both of them had clearly stated that this was not their area of ​​expertise.

That's why they didn't finish the job in the first place.

But it doesn't matter.

And myself.

The rest of the work will be done by yourself.

Back then, they wiped out the nearby monsters. Now, it’s up to me to help them finish off the mess and seal the Gate to the Underworld.

Thinking of this, Zhiyao couldn't help but smile proudly and felt refreshed.

Sealing the Yellow Springs Gate requires powerful Yin-Yang magic. Tamamo doesn't look like an ordinary demon, so he asked, "Tamamo, how much do you know about Yin-Yang magic?"

"I'm pretty proficient at it."

Hearing this, Zhiyao couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Then can you teach me?!"

Unexpectedly, Tamamo yawned and said sleepily, "No, it's too much trouble."

"No trouble, I learn things quickly, I'm not lying to you."

"You might as well teach yourself." Standing up, Yumozuo walked to the corner of the house, took out a book from a wooden box, and then came back to hand it to Zhiyao.

Zhiyao took it and took a quick look. She found that the cover was extremely worn, the paper inside was a withered yellow, and the texture was very fragile, as if the paper would break if she used a little force when turning it.

However, after he flipped through a few pages, his eyes began to shine and his body trembled with excitement.

What he saw was——『Evil Sealing Array, Purifying Talisman, Demon-Breaking Arrow』

The page not only records the required materials and production steps, but also comes with illustrations.

There is no doubt that this is a classic book related to Yin and Yang.

After searching everywhere for something, I finally found what I had come to Yangyan Mountain to look for, although it was in the past.

"I wrote it myself," Tamamo said.

"Does it record any method to seal the Gate of Hell?" Zhiyao asked impatiently.

Tamamo thought about it for a moment and said, "I don't think so. However, you can try some of the formations and props mentioned above. I'll also tell you one thing: the strength of the props and formations depends on the spiritual power of the caster and the potency of the materials themselves."

"Okay." Zhiyao immediately took it to heart and started planning secretly in her heart.

Let Shenhong be the caster. The girl's spiritual power is so exaggerated that it is difficult to describe. As for the effectiveness of the materials, the many spirit stones in the bag should be enough to provide energy.

"This book appeared at the perfect time. Thank you, Tamamo." Zhiyao bowed sincerely, then picked up the book carefully, looking around for anything that could protect it.

However, it was taken back by Tamamo before he had held it in his hand for more than three seconds.

"Who said I was going to give it to you? I was just showing it to you."

"I really need it, Sister Tamamo, how about you help me..."

Yumozuo shook her head gently and looked at Zhiyao with a smile on her face, but she didn't say anything. After a long time, Zhiyao gradually understood what she meant.

"I won't take it for free. Tell me, what do you need?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tamamo's gaze moved to his side. He followed her gaze and immediately understood what she meant.

She actually knew there were good things in the bag. This female monster is really amazing.

Sighing, he unzipped his backpack, took out a spirit stone and placed it in front of Tamamo.

"enough?"

Tamamo didn't even look at it.

So he took out the second one.

Tamamo still didn't even look at it.

Sighing helplessly, he began to take things out little by little until the remaining amount in the bag was reduced to half. However, Tamamo never made any statement from beginning to end.

Then, Zhiyao quit.

"I can only give you this much. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, forget it."

At this point, Yumozuo smiled awkwardly and placed the book in front of Zhiyao. At the same time, he gathered the small piles of spirit stones in front of him, then picked up one and looked at it over and over again. Zhiyao carefully put the book into the compartment of her travel bag.

There was silence for a while, and five minutes passed quickly.

Finding Zhiyao still in the room, Yumo glanced at him and said nonchalantly:

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

"Let's go?" Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Has the fog outside dissipated?"

Just as he was about to get up and go to the window to see what was going on, he saw Tamamo slowly approaching him with a half-smile on her face and sticking close to him.

"Sikong, if you want to stay here, that's fine, as long as you behave yourself and don't mess around with others, huh?"

Looking expressionlessly at the beautiful female monster in front of him, Zhiyao resolutely turned his eyes away and refused without hesitation.

"Need not."

The main thing was that I felt that this female monster was thinking about the remaining spirit stones in her package.

"Huh, I see." Tamamo retreated with a dull look on her face. "What a shame! It's so rare to meet a human who doesn't hate monsters."

Coming to the window, Zhiyao opened the window and looked outside, and found that the fog was still as thick as before. Just when he was about to ask Tamamo what was going on, Tamamo followed him to the window and pointed in a certain direction.

"I can't tell you exactly when the fog will clear. If you're in a hurry, just follow my directions and walk in a straight line. When you see a fork in the road, turn right. Then, after a few hundred meters, you'll see the main road down the mountain."

After hurriedly saying thank you and goodbye, Zhiyao put on her bag and left.

He moved forward slowly as Tamamo said, and found that the fog was gradually becoming thinner.

Before he knew it, he finally saw the main road leading down the mountain. When he stepped on it, he looked back and found that there was a bamboo forest behind him. The road he came from had disappeared without a trace, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

Yangyan Mountain is indeed a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden.

Chapter 116: [Interfering with the Miko's Duties]

In front of us is the residence of the Aso branch family. It looks relatively new for an age when people still live there.

Walking over quickly, Zhiyao raised her hand and knocked on the door.

There is something he needs Kunihiko Aso's help with.

"Excuse me, who are you..." The middle-aged woman who came to open the door looked at Zhiyao carefully.

Because they lived at the foot of the mountain, the family didn’t know what happened last night and therefore didn’t recognize Zhiyao.

"I'm looking for Kunihiko Aso and want to say a few words to him. Could you please ask him to come out?" Zhiyao said politely.

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but be curious about what the child was doing at this time, and she also became a little more alert.

A few months ago, a child disappeared from Yangyan Village, reportedly abducted by human traffickers. The middle-aged woman couldn't help but doubt Zhiyao's identity and motives. Despite this, she went into the house to call for help, and soon she arrived at the door with little Aso Kunihiko.

"Hey, Brother Sikong?"

After hearing about what happened last night from his friends during the day, Kunihiko Aso learned Zhiyao's name.

"You haven't gone to bed yet, Aso." Zhiyao smiled and put her palm on the top of little Aso Kunihiko's head and patted it gently.

"For a while."

Seeing that the two seemed to know each other, the middle-aged woman became even more curious and asked, "Bang Yan, who is this..."

"He is a distinguished guest of Matsumoto-sama's household. Last night, he helped to defeat the monster in the cave and was hailed by Matsumoto-sama as a hero of Kagero Village."

The middle-aged woman was immediately in awe.

Although she did not live in Yangyan Village, the middle-aged woman had heard about the monsters in the caves on the mountain. Some time ago, she had even told young Kunihiko Aso not to go near there.

After confirming that Zhiyao was not a suspicious person, the middle-aged woman turned around and went back into the house. Zhiyao beside her put down her backpack, took out an envelope from it, and said to Xiao Masheng seriously: "I have something to ask of you."

Zhiyao said as she stuffed the envelope into Xiaomasheng's hands.

"Aso, I have to go out for something. I may be back tomorrow, or I may never come back. So I'm leaving this money with you. Please help keep it for the time being. If you don't see me and Baiju together for a few days, please give the money to Baiju. Baiju is the little girl with white hair and red eyes who is with me every day."

Aso Kunihiko nodded without thinking.

Seeing this, Zhiyao took out a card and put it into Xiao Masheng's hand.

"This is your reward, use it to buy some snacks."

"Thank you, Brother Sikong." Little Aso Kunihiko smiled.

"Aso, you must keep the envelope safe and don't lose it, and then be sure to hand it to Baiju personally. Because I know you are a good child, I dare to put so much money with you." Although not very worried, Zhiyao still reminded him.

"I will definitely hand it over to Bai Ju personally, please rest assured, Brother Sikong."

The big thing was finally settled. Zhiyao rubbed Xiao Masheng's head again, then waved goodbye. After that, he continued to move forward towards the mountain alone.

……

Not long after leaving the Aso family, the small wooden bridge connecting Hijo Mountain and the outside world came into view.

It is now 1908. Except for the hot spring hotel on the left and the cable car station on the right, which have not yet been built, the rest of the mountain is no different from what it was in 1987.

Then this time, Zhiyao still chose to go up the mountain from the front.

There were no evil spirits on Mount Rishang before the disaster. Even so, Zhiyao still didn't feel at ease in the current environment, so he summoned Yaoboji and Bo Bingdie.

But for some reason, he still felt that something was missing. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was Kirie and Hanako who were missing.

We all went up the mountain together, but only Yaoboji and I went back to the past, and the whereabouts of the other two are still unknown.

He wasn't too worried about Hanako, it was mainly Kirie.

Suppose, he was just assuming a situation, that Wuhui actually traveled through time, but did not land on Yangyan Mountain but on Rishang Mountain. In that case, she would probably have disappeared after so many days.

Because the power of Wuhui's spirit is too weak, it cannot be maintained in the real world for a long time unless it finds a living person to host it.

However, although he was really worried, he did not feel anxious at all.

The reason is that Wu Hui's original body is still in the future time and space of 1987. Even if the clone disappears here, the original body over there will still be safe and sound. As for the original body traveling here with the clone, that is even more nonsense.

There are hundreds of kilometers between them.

Besides, how could the time travel caused by the supernatural power of Rishang Mountain be exerted on Kirie's real body in Himuro Mansion who was hundreds of kilometers away, not to mention that her real body was tied to the Gate of the Underworld.
