"What are these namasha talking about?"

At the foot of Mount Kurikoma, Kanoya crouched lightly on the branch of a pine tree covered with snow.

Not far ahead, there was a group of raw skinned ghosts stumbling forward in the wind and snow. One could clearly smell the cold and foul odor emanating from them.

The Shengde Imperial Incense Burner that Shikanoya carried with him was emitting a dim white light. Ordinary people could not smell the scent of the incense, but people like Xiaolu, who had a strong psychic sense of smell, could probably smell the faint fragrance of the fading plum blossoms of early spring.

This is the "Plum Blossom" incense recipe from the "Six Fumes in Four Directions" incense technique that Xiaolu is very good at.

The plum blossom recipe has the lightest fragrance among the "six smokes and four recipes". The lingering scent of cold plum will eliminate and cover the original scent of the user.

It is an incense magic used to conceal one's own actions.

Xiaolu's use of incense magic has now reached perfection, so the group of samādhi ghosts are naturally unaware of her presence.

"Is this a meaningless humming... or some kind of language?"

The cold mountain wind continued to carry the low humming sounds of the Namahage to the deer's ears. Although the deer could not understand them, it felt that the sounds had a certain rhythm of words and sentences.

To be on the safe side, she took out her cell phone and recorded the sounds made by the namasha ghosts.

After all, Xiaolu is a public official, and his job requires him to leave more traces like this.

Be prepared.

At this time, Shikanoya was simply observing and did not choose to act rashly.

Her junior fellow apprentice Aoi Tsurumi is on her way and should be here soon.

Xiaolu was thinking that they would act together after the junior sister arrived. Moreover, Kurikoma Mountain seemed to be the lair of the group of Namahages tonight, so it was necessary to track them deeper and see if they could join forces with the junior sister to catch all the Namahages in the mountain.

"Grandpa Xiaoxiao, is Xiaokui coming soon?"

"Abba."

"Okay, let's wait a little longer."

Shikanoya held the phone, spoke softly to the little old man beside him, and continued to wait patiently.

Huhu——

The cold wind from the foothills blew towards me like a knife.

At this moment, Kanoyaya keenly noticed that the stench of Namahage mixed in the wind seemed to become a little stronger at a certain moment.

Not only that, the group of Namahage who were walking forward numbly a little further ahead also stopped and turned around at the same time.

Gray-purple arms were waving and groping in the air, and pairs of creepy purple eyes were flashing in the wind and snow.

They are looking for something.

"These Namasha... noticed me?"

Seeing this, Xiaolu was not frightened at all, but simply a little surprised. Now that her family was well-off, the ingredients of the incense recipe she carried with her were all top-quality. Combined with Xiaolu's own extremely skilled magic skills, the concealment effect of the plum blossom incense recipe was very good, and these raw skins should not have been able to detect her presence.

"SPOCSPOB..."

There were several more incomprehensible groans, and in the snow, a series of dark, blurry figures stood still, swaying. Their horned heads were now raised, and their purple, empty eyes were fixed on the cedar where Shikanoya was crouching.

Seeing that he was exposed, Xiaolu simply stopped pretending.

With her right hand, she made a lion seal that symbolized strength and could increase her physical fitness in a short period of time, and then jumped down from a pine branch several meters high.

The moment the fawn landed handsomely, the skinned animals also started to move. They continued to utter incomprehensible low moans from their mouths, and moved their thin gray-purple legs, treading haphazardly over the thick snow. Taking advantage of the slightly higher terrain, they rushed towards the fawn in a crooked manner.

"Instead of running away, you're rushing towards me?"

Then hit!
Lu Yeya was not in a hurry and sprinkled a handful of linden powder into the Shengde Imperial incense burner.

The dim sparks in the brass incense burner instantly turned red, which was particularly eye-catching against the pitch-black environment and the white snow.

A faint fragrance rolled out from the copper furnace, with a chilly breath and the astringent aroma of frozen water. But it was also mixed with some more strange and cold temperament, like the creepy gnawing sounds of lonely ghosts fighting for the offerings in a broken temple on a cold and desolate mountain.

At this time, the incense formula in the incense burner has switched from "Plum Blossom" to "Attendant".

Once this fragrance is released, it can feed ghosts and drive away wandering souls.

A more advanced usage is to use this incense to directly enhance the combat potential of designated ghost stories and demons!
Just like Kamiyagawa becomes a flag whenever he stands on the battlefield and can greatly boost the morale of his own side; as a disciple, Kanoya also has his own set of methods and transforms himself into a human buff-making machine on the battlefield.

Huhu——!
In a flash, two strong gusts of wind carrying a ghostly fragrance passed by Shikanoya, and the sound of the wind was mixed with the sharp roars of wild beasts.

The fastest rawhide ghost was caught by the strong wind, and it was like being hit hard under the feet. Its body instantly lost balance and fell heavily. But before it fell completely, a cold light flashed in the wind, and the rawhide ghost's hideous head was separated from its body in an instant and thrown high into the air.

"嘤嘤!"

The animal roars in the fragrant wind became a little more excited.

Finally, two beasts with pointed beaks could be seen looming in the invisible strong wind. One had black fur, was short and strong, and held a huge club; the other had smooth yellow hair, a slender body, and held a bloody sickle in its claws.

A kamaitachi under Shikanoya.

A strange story about a man who is good at controlling the wind and is a trinity.

The ones who went into battle were the father and mother of the sickle-itachi, a couple who naturally worked in perfect harmony. As for the youngest little sickle-itachi, since he only knew how to heal and was not good at fighting, he stayed with Shikanoya.

One of his companions was killed instantly, and before the surrounding Namahage could react, a more bizarre beast appeared from behind Kanoya.

It has a long horse face, but on top of its head grows a pair of huge deer antlers.

"YoYo."

The red deer stood on its hind legs in a human-like posture. The large horns on its head seemed to overwhelm its head, so that it could not stand steadily.

After the loud deer call, the elk's round left and right eyes began to rotate in different clockwise directions, which made it look even more funny.

Then, a strong smell quickly spread out from the tips of the antlers on its head, with a faint scent of musk, but it was blinding and stupid, and could confuse people's minds.

This stupid aura quickly enveloped a large number of Namahage, and in the darkness, the eyes of the Namahage, which emitted a miserable purple light, began to spin. Their sprinting steps stopped, and some even hugged their companions, opened their mouths wide and started to bite them, rolling into a ball in the snow.

"You definitely won't be able to escape this time!"

Finally, it was the enraged Miyiko who rushed out, pulling up rocks and knocking down trees.

The little kappa was probably still angry about having let the Namahage that had injured people escape in the izakaya just now. Not only did he rush forward like a pig and a wolf, he knocked over two dazed Namahages, and also knocked over a relatively large Namahage with red and white beads on its feet into the snow, and then pounced on it viciously and hit it on the head.

Miyako's fists swung out like bullets. In the blink of an eye, after just three consecutive punches, the Namahage that she pinned down began to slowly turn into ashes.

Before the Kamaitachi couple, Baka, and Miyako could use much of their abilities, the Namahage team of more than ten people was torn to pieces, and the battle was extremely one-sided.

The group of enemies in front of them are really no match for the Xiaolu team.

……

"It's done!"

Shikanoya clapped his hands to shake off the incense powder and snow dust that were stuck to his palms.

The Namahage who had sensed her whereabouts had all been dealt with. Now she could continue to sneak around, exploring the situation deep in the foothills of Mount Kurikoma while waiting for her junior sister.

But before she could sprinkle Zhan Tang in the Shengde Imperial Incense Burner and switch the incense recipe back to "Plum Blossom", the scout clone beside her hurriedly raised her arms and shouted a warning.

"Everyone, stop cleaning the battlefield and come back to me!"

Naturally, Kanoya had great trust in the little old man, his "old retainer", and he reacted quickly to call all the Shikigami back to his side.

About five or six seconds later, she also sensed something.

In the cold air of the forest, the stench of the raw skin ghost became stronger. Then, in the dark forest, it was unclear whether it was far away or near, and dense purple pupils exhaled and flickered.

"Are all the namasha in Kurikoma Mountain coming towards me?"

Kannoya couldn't help being a little surprised, but even though there were so many Namahage around him, he still had confidence.

Her subordinates are still sending wolves.

Xiaolu flipped her left hand and turned the pink-painted Glock over to her palm. At the same time, she swiftly threw out the [White-robed Avalokitesvara Scripture Sticker]. The sutra sticker shone with golden light, and the Sanskrit characters on it floated and swirled around her body.

After giving herself the buff of Buddhist magic, she was just about to take the initiative and empty a magazine of special bullets made of great compassion.

Suddenly, I saw a fire.

Yes, firelight.

In the dark snow forest, only the purple pupils of the Namahage and the fire in Shikanoya's hand were flickering. Although they were very eye-catching, they could not illuminate the forest.

And just at that moment, a burst of flames rose from the forest, illuminating the snowy forest in scarlet. It was like a sudden mountain fire, which continued to burn in the high altitude into two huge balls of blazing heat and dazzling light.

"Abba! Abba!"

The little old man's clone did not run away from his young lady, but pointed at the huge ball of fire high up and said something.

Shikanoya naturally understood what the scout meant, she had already smelled it.

Those two huge balls of scarlet flames were not wildfires, but two eyes spewing out anger.

Kaka-

The earth was shaking, large tracts of cedar fell down, and large amounts of snow fell from high above.

The foothills are moving.

No.

To be more precise, a huge monster as big as a mountainside rose from the snow forest!

The towering mountains are its body; the burning mountain fires are its pupils; and the giant dead trees that twist upwards and point straight to the night sky are the huge horns on its head.

"Smèrth..."

The monster opened its mouth, spewing out a foul and foul wind, and uttered an indistinct low hum that Shikanoya could not understand.

At this time, Xiaolu was almost certain that the low moans now, including those from the Namahage before, were definitely not meaningless, and were definitely a language that she could not understand.

If I had to say something, maybe Russian?

Not quite right.

I always feel that the information and intelligence I learned before the action are somewhat different...

Are these things really the Namahage in Akita Prefecture's local legends? (End of this chapter)
