Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 357 Demon Sword Fairy

Suzaku Forest.

In the bleak autumn season, the ground is full of withered yellow and withered eyes. In such a forest, a huge maple tree looks extraordinarily gorgeous.

The smell of alcohol lingering on the tree has not yet dissipated, which is left over from Shutendouji's previous drinking here.

now.

Shuten-douji was drunk on another tree not far away, probably because he didn't want to connect these decadent feelings with the sunny maple forest in his memory, so he deliberately stayed away from this maple tree and went to another place. somewhere to sleep.

"Onmyoji?"

Ibaraki Doji on the ground had already walked in front of Chen Beibei, looking at the shikigami beside Chen Beibei, Ibaraki Doji was able to guess Chen Beibei's identity.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei nodded and replied.

Ibaraki-douji had already seen his identity, so there was no point in continuing to hide it.

"What is the onmyoji doing here?"

Ibaraki Doji looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

Ibaraki-douji is not as evil as Shuten-douji, compared to Shuten-douji, Ibaraki-douji is more serious.

"Defeat Shuten-douji!"

Chen Beibei replied.

The wind blows the dead leaves down, flying and circling in the air, but they don't fall to the ground. This is their last struggle before the end of their lives.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Ibaraki Doji seemed to hear a joke, he laughed out, but his eyes became gloomy following the high-pitched laughter.

his best friend.

The man who once found a place to live for the ghosts who wandered in the world, even in the Heian era when Onmyoji developed to its peak.

No onmyoji dared to challenge him.

now.

An unknown onmyoji in front of him, since he said such a thing, Ibaraki Doji wanted to laugh, but he also had a heartache feeling that the times had passed.

"My best friend is the Ghost King of the Dajiang Mountain. How can you nameless people have the right to challenge him!"

Ibaraki Doji looked at Chen Beibei and said with a supreme gesture.

……

Withering, falling, dead leaves hovering in the air, not falling for a long time.

"Onmyoji, leave here, you can continue to live..."

Ibaraki Doji said.

"If I were just an ordinary person, I would want to live on, but now I bear the name of Onmyoji, forgive me, I can only fight!"

Chen Beibei replied.

The task given by the system can be completed now only by defeating them in front of them. At this moment, Chen Beibei is holding the boy Qie Angang in his arms, and he no longer wants to continue to escape.

after all.

Chen Beibei couldn't imagine how powerful the ghost king who once stood on top of all the demons was, even if he had to prepare for it all his life.

Maybe, I still feel that I still can't challenge him.

"Kill them!"

Ibaraki Doji gave an order, and Yasha, Hannya, and Yatengu standing behind him rushed towards Chen Beibei and the others.

"Fight!"

Chen Beibei shouted.

Just like before, Inugami fights Yasha, Koho Nyo fights Hannya, and Yingcao fights Yatengu. This is the fighting method that has been used before.

Now the remaining monsters.

There are also Yukino, Umibozu, Nightmare Eater, Kamaitachi, Mountain Rabbit, Zashiki Doji...

As rka shikigami, Yamatu and Zashiki Doji have been placed in a safe position by Chen Beibei, and they don't need to participate in the battle.

after all.

Such a battle is undoubtedly very dangerous for them.

"Yuki, Umibozu, Nightmare-eating Tapir, Kamaitachi, hold Ibaraki-douji, and the rest of Shuten-douji, let me go."

Chen Beibei could feel that the boy Qie Angang in his arms had a slight warmth at this moment.

The boy Qie Angang was trembling slightly.

It is also eager to fight.

Cutting off Shuten-douji's head is its supreme moment of glory, and it is for this reason that it has become a famous sword handed down from generation to generation.

The system asked Chen Beibei to defeat Shuten-douji.

This is a seemingly impossible task, but the condition given by the system to defeat Shuten-douji is only to find the boy Qie Angang.

perhaps.

This is just a test.

Test whether Chen Beibei has the courage to face this powerful monster!

……

The sickle weasel turned into a hurricane, and the dance of the dead leaves and phoenix became even more joyful. The sky above the entire Suzaku Forest was filled with endless circling dead leaves.

Just like those short-lived butterflies.

The boy Qie Angang in Chen Beibei's hands trembled even more as he got closer to Shuten Doji, and Chen Beibei could feel it.

The boy Qie Angang is no longer cold, as if the boy Qie Angang already has the temperature of a human being.

not far away.

On a big tree, Shuten-douji was still lying quietly on the branch, with a smile on his evil face.

Occasionally, he whispered the name of Hongye softly.

After Oeyama retreated, Jiuten Doji was beheaded by Minamoto Raimitsu, and Oeyama, which was originally beautiful, instantly became a Shura hell.

He could clearly hear the wailing of the ghosts even though Shuten-douji had died.

Those pains were finally soothed gently by strong wine and the woman named Hongye, even though it still hurts.

But when intoxicated, she can occasionally get rid of it...

"Red leaves..."

The smile on the corner of Shuten-douji's mouth became more obvious, as if in a dream, Hongye had already walked with him.

now.

Chen Beibei was already standing under the tree where Shuten-douji was sleeping, and he could see the majestic figure of Shuten-douji just by looking up.

Chen Beibei pulled out the boy Qie Angang.

At the moment when the boy Qie Angang was pulled out, something seemed to leak out. It was a spirit body, one white and one red, two spirit bodies that were originally nothingness.

When Chen Beibei opened his spiritual eyes, intending to see clearly what the two spirit bodies were.

The spirit body has been transformed into a ring.

A red long sword and a snow-white Tai sword flew into the air in an instant. When Chen Beibei raised his head, the dazzling sun shone on Chen Beibei in a trance.

"Follow orders!"

"Follow orders!"

The two knives flying in the air made human voices, a man and a woman, and there was a sense of decisiveness in their voices.

The crimson long knife flew towards Shuten-douji.

The sound of sharp blades piercing the air is like the sound of cloth being torn, mixed with the humming of swords...

When the red long knife was about to stab Shuten-douji, Shuten-douji swung his arm violently, but his arm did not touch the long knife.

but.

The long knife has already flown backwards...

"Disturb my lucid dream!"

Shuten-douji stretched out his arms, moved his body a bit, and then sat up leaning against the tree trunk. Even though he was already awake, there was still a sense of laziness in his eyes.

……

In mid-air, the red long knife turned into a slender, beautiful woman, wearing a Genji battle suit, she looked weak.

The woman's body was still flying backwards.

When flying over a birch tree, the woman grabbed the branch with her hands, then jumped up and stood quietly on the branch.

The slender legs and the long pointed hat make any woman look very slender.

"Shuten-douji, we meet again!"

The woman looked at Shuten-douji and said slowly.

"Yao Dao Ji, it's you, it's so pitiful, more than 1000 years have passed, and you are still enslaved by Genji..."

When Jiuten Doji saw Yaodao Ji, the laziness in his eyes had completely disappeared, and he became serious even when he spoke.

"It was Abe Seimei-sama, and it was not Genji who sealed me in the boy Qie Angang. Now, I am just guarding Abe Seimei-sama's long-cherished wish."

Yaodao Ji looked at Shuten Doji and said slowly.

Before Master Abe Seimei passed away, he did many things, one of which was to seal the monster that she and another famous sword bred in the boy Qie Angang.

"Shuten, and me!"

A hearty man's voice sounded, just listening to the voice, one can feel that this must be a very chic and casual man.

Chen Beibei looked up and followed the voice.

I don't know when.

On a pine tree not far away, a man wearing a white robe and black clothes appeared. The name of the clothes was Baijinshuangfeng.

In the man's hand was a snow-white Taidao, and two Taidaos with black sheaths hung diagonally from his waist.

Shuten-douji had seen the scene of slaughter with these three knives out of their sheaths, even Shuten-douji could feel the chill.

That was the scene when Minamoto Raimitsu crusaded Oeyama.

Bai Jinshuangfeng's clothing formula floated across the great rivers and mountains, and as far as the eye could see, it was filled with blood, and the crows circled the air screaming, waiting to peck at the body of the loser after the battle.

"Onikiri,..."

When Shuten-douji saw Onikiri appear, a strange thought appeared in his eyes, because of Onikiri's appearance, Shuten-douji couldn't help but recall the nightmare buried in his heart.

……

"Best friend, get back to your former self! What you stand in front of you are nothing but two lowly monsters enslaved by humans."

Ibaraki-douji looked at Shuten-douji who was lost in thought, and shouted to him.

at this time.

Ibaraki-douji can understand what Shuten-douji is thinking in his heart. Shuten-douji has carried too much, whether it is glory, the prosperity of the ghost clan, or even the pain after the defeat of Oeyama.

These Ibaraki-douji can understand, really, as Shuten-douji's close friend, he knows that what Shuten-douji has done is good enough.

Even later, immersed in wine and red leaves, Ibaraki Doji can understand.

When Shuten-douji heard Ibaraki-douji's voice, he shifted his gaze to Ibaraki-douji, and the two of them briefly looked at each other.

Shuten-douji didn't speak, but there was a trace of warmth in his eyes.

Ibaraki Doji didn't speak either, but his throat slipped a bit, and what he wanted to say had already swallowed back into his heart.

now.

Just leave the choice, with as little burden as possible, to Shuten-douji.

Ibaraki-douji knew that no matter what he said, whether it was fighting or giving up, it would add burden to Shuten-douji.

after all.

The appearance of Onikiri and Yaodao Ji has already made their hope of defeating very slim.

……

"Abe Seimei-sama knows that Shuten-douji is still alive, so he specially sealed us inside the boy Kirian steel so that we can stop you when you reappear."

Yaodao Ji looked at Shuten Doji and said to him.

The tone of Yaodao Ji's speech was like a long-lost friend meeting again, without any superiority or humbleness.

The Demon Sword Fairy has always been like this.

"Since Abe Seimei knows that I am still alive, why didn't he seal me completely while I was defeated and hadn't recovered?"

Jiu Tun-douji looked at Yao Dao Ji and asked him.

At this time, Jiu Tun-douji was puzzled, he believed Yao Dao Ji's words, because Yao Dao Ji didn't like to lie, and there was no need to lie to him about such things.

"Because Abe Seimei-sama doesn't want Shuten-douji to disappear into the world."

Demon Sword Fairy said as a matter of course.

This made Jiuten-douji stunned. This kind of thing that was taken for granted in Yaodao Ji's heart was undoubtedly incomprehensible in front of Jiuten-douji.

after all.

In Shuten-douji's heart, onmyojis and monsters have always been opposites.

Minamoto Larimitsu's crusade against Dajiangshan was first divination by the onmyoji, and then it went so smoothly.After Ibaraki Doji was cut off by Watanabe Tsuna with Onikiri, it was Abe Seimei who reminded that Watanabe Tsuna was only more careful about his surroundings.

"In Master Abe Seimei's heart, there is no real distinction between monsters and human beings. In Master Seimei's heart, there is only the difference between good and evil. Just like Seimei and darkness, Master Seimei always stands on the side of good. One side maintains the peace and stability of the yin and yang worlds."

Yaodao Ji looked at Shuten Doji, and slowly expressed her opinion on Abe Seimei.

Good versus evil.

Brightness and darkness are opposites.

Abe Seimei's name already represents his position. He does not look at issues from the standpoint of humans and monsters, but from the standpoint of good and evil.

Because of this, Abe Seimei will be praised in both Yin and Yang circles.

Humans praised him as the greatest onmyoji, and so did many monsters.

"Good and evil?"

Shuten-douji was once again lost in thought as he looked at the dead leaves circling in the air.

Before human beings were born.

Spiritual bodies already existed in the world, and those with powerful spiritual bodies in ancient times were called gods, and after the birth of human beings, monsters were also born.

No matter how powerful monsters are, they will not be called gods by humans.

The monsters that appear in the later generations, only those who can bring light and blessings to humans, will be worshiped by humans, and then shrines will be established.

Yujiajin is one of the representatives.

Among them, there are actually some commonalities with Abe Seimei's opposition of good and evil.

"Abe Seimei wants Jiuten-douji to stay in the world because, Abe Seimei-sama knows, Shuten-douji, you are on the side of monsters and ghosts, and you are also a good side! You have given so many monsters a living space, let them It is your credit to be able to live on top of the great river and mountains, and it is also a great thing that no monster has ever done. It is for this reason that Abe Seimei-sama will let you stay."

The Demon Sword Fairy continued.

　Hee hee, Yao Dao Ji's daughter, don't worry, Dad loves you...
