[Comprehensive master fate] On how to become a zombie king that everyone loves

There are chairs on both sides of the carriage, and if the person next to Kagura is holding Xiaobai and happily stroking Mao Yelan, then...

Abe Seimei: "..." Why did he sit with Ye's Shikigami?

Shouldn't he be with Kagura, Ye and Arthur?

As if feeling Abe Seimei's resentment, Arthur asked puzzledly: "Abe-san, what's wrong? But motion sickness?"

Looking at that smiling, sunny and handsome face, Abe Seimei couldn't tell why he was uncomfortable because he was squeezed together with a big man like him.

"After all, you are a magician... Onmyoji, it's normal for your body to be weak. If you feel unwell, you must speak up."

Abe Seimei: "..." Although this is true, I still really want to beat someone up (=皮=)

"What's wrong? Is Qingming not feeling well? Would you like me to take a look for you? I also have some healing abilities." Hearing this, Ye Lan also showed a worried look, "It is indeed exhausting for the carriage to be so bumpy, Qingming, you My physical strength is not very good... I really can't do it, what should I say? It doesn't matter if we arrive at the destination late."

"Seimei, are you uncomfortable?" Even Kagura, who was concentrating on the scenery outside the car, turned around and cared.

Abe Seimei: "..." He is very good, why do both of them think that he is going to die?

"I, very, good, thank, thank you, you!" Abe Seimei gritted his teeth and jumped out of each word with emphasis.

"Really? But I see that you can't even finish your sentence, and every word is broken... Isn't it really impossible?" Arthur continued to make up the knife.

Abe Seimei: "..." Didn't this person deliberately blackmail him? !

Tired.

Nearly two hours later, everyone arrived at a small village in Iga. Although it was not the place where the most cases occurred, it was the place where the most recent incident occurred, and it was most likely to leave some clues.

First of all, it is natural to say hello to the village chief and ask him about the details of the case.

The context of the whole thing is actually very simple.

There is no regular garrison guard in the small village, so in order to prevent the attack of wild animals or monsters without realizing it, the men in the village formed a night guard team independently, and sent people to patrol around the village every night.

Two days ago, the security team knocked on the door of the village chief's house in the middle of the night, saying that in the middle of the patrol, a person suddenly disappeared for no reason. The person who disappeared was named Yoshiro, and there was a newlywed wife—Ninko, After hearing that her husband disappeared for no apparent reason, she shed tears every day. However, even though the whole village was mobilized to search for Yoshiro, only a little blood was found at the place where Yoshiro disappeared, on the northwest side of the village near the forest, and nothing else was found.

In the past two days, the village head also asked the neighbors to take care of them and went to the forest to explore, but there was still no clue. Thinking that similar incidents seemed to have happened in other places recently, the village head reported it, no, just Waiting for Abe Seimei and four people.

"Alas... It is estimated that something unexpected happened to Yoshiro, but the poor child Ninko, the newlyweds are just at the time when the honey is mixed, but there is such a big change..." The village chief sighed leisurely.

"Don't say that. If it's a monster, most people kill people on the spot. It's rare to kidnap people, so Mr. Yoshiro may still be alive." Abe Seimei comforted him softly, "Can you please Can you tell the security team the patrol route, and take us to the place where the blood was found?"

"Of course, of course!"

The so-called bloodstains are actually just a small black and red trace, which may be left by someone who accidentally fell down here, and it does not prove anything for Yoshiro's disappearance.

Abe Seimei pondered for a while, then looked at the forest in the distance: "Let's go into the forest and have a look."

Looking at it from a distance, he could feel the thick monster aura permeating the forest, but some monsters lived in seclusion in the forest but would not harm anyone, and he was not sure whether the owner of the monster aura in the forest was related to the recent disappearance.

Send the village chief back to the village, and a group of people went to the forest to investigate.

As soon as he stepped into the range of the forest, the light dimmed instantly, the temperature dropped significantly, and the thick fog transformed by the turbid evil spirit enveloped the entire forest. Abe Seimei estimated that living in this forest can be called a name. There are definitely more than one or two monsters.

"Seimei, this." The petite Kagura immediately noticed that what she was stepping on was not just pure ground.

"This is... a wooden board?" Ye Lan squatted down and picked up the roots of the tree, and Xiao Bai planed away the sand, and found many broken wooden boards that were obviously processed.

Abe Seimei picked up a few pieces and pieced them together, probably looking like a set of tables and chairs, thoughtfully.

"Ye, Qingming, over there, over there, and over there, they all look like dilapidated houses." This time, Arthur discovered something.

"Could it be that there used to be a settlement here?" Abe Seimei carefully observed the surrounding trees, "These trees are at least several decades old, and it is not easy to grow into such a large forest. It will take at least a hundred years for such a forest to grow out of the land, but judging by the decay of these woods, it will not exceed ten years at most."

"Night...these trees give me a bad feeling." Arthur had already condensed the Holy Sword of Stars in his hand, frowning and guarding the surroundings, as if the trees would come alive and attack them in the next moment .

Even though they were just trees, it made him feel like he was being stared at.

"Let's go back to the village first. I have to ask the village chief to confirm something." The weirdness of the forest made Abe Seimei immediately decide to return.

"Do you know anything?" Ye Lan scanned it with mental power, but in his perception range, except for some little monsters that can be seen everywhere, there is nothing worth noting.

"Ah, there is probably a guess, but further verification is needed."

So, everyone came to the village head's house again, and the latter was quite surprised: "My lords, you're back so soon? I just asked my wife to prepare your dinner, please wait a moment."

The village head respectfully invited the four of them to sit down, served tea, and then asked: "Can you find anything, sir? Are there really monsters in that forest?"

"Really?" Abe Seimei accurately grasped the village chief's words, "About that forest, there were rumors of monsters?"

"Indeed, my lord is wise."

About six or seven years ago, that forest was still a small village, and there was a thousand-year-old tree with lush branches and leaves in the center of the village.

Japan's belief is originally the pan-spiritual polytheistic belief that "all spirits can be gods". It is natural for a thousand-year-old tree to be regarded as a sacred tree and worshiped by villagers.

Over time, the name of the sacred tree has gradually spread, and the annual sacred tree festival is even more famous. The thousand-year-old tree is full of wishes and painted horses. Even in winter, when the green leaves wither, the big tree is still colorful. It's really beautiful.

However, a series of catastrophes about 15 years ago destroyed all this.

With locust plagues in spring, drought in summer, hurricanes in autumn and blizzards in winter, the villagers suddenly realized that the "Shenmu" could not fulfill their wishes at all.

All the crops in the fields were devastated by drought and floods, and the livestock died one after another due to hunger and cold. Only the "sacred tree" was still tenacious, full of vitality, and declared its existence to everyone.

No one knows where the source of the rumor is, but from a certain day, the thousand-year-old tree is no longer a "sacred tree", but a "bad root" that has sucked the vitality of the village.

Indignantly, the villagers picked up their axes and clenched their machetes, sawing and sawing, chopping and chopping. The tall and prosperous tree became a lonely low stump in just one day.

However, the life of the big tree was not lost. It survived tenaciously. In the spring of the next year, new buds, flower buds and red flowers bloomed on the bare tree stump.

In the spring of this year, it was as if God wanted to make up for the losses of the villagers in last year's catastrophe. The crops were growing very well, and it was estimated that the harvest would be about [-]% more than in previous years.

Immediately, the villagers forgot their resentment towards the big tree not long ago, and picked red flowers from the stump to decorate at home.

They soon discovered that all the families decorated with red flowers had encountered serious disasters one after another, causing everyone to panic about the tree again.

Therefore, they decided to cut the grass and root out the roots. Naturally, the stumps cannot be kept after cutting down the trees. Burning them completely is a good way to get rid of them once and for all.

When the villagers held the torches and came to the location of the stump, they found that there was only a huge hole left, and the stump disappeared without a trace.

They didn't think much about it. Instead, they felt that it would be good if the tree stump disappeared, so they went home, looking forward to a tomorrow without the bad luck brought by the big tree.

Yet even with the stump gone, the misfortunes continued to befall them.

Within a few years, people in the village died, were injured, and those who survived did not dare to continue living here. One after another, everyone left this village shrouded in doom.

Immediately after they moved away, the original site of the village immediately grew trees one after another like crazy-this is the origin of the forest.

Also because of this unusual way of appearance and history, people in the vicinity believed that there was a monster living in that forest, and the villagers in the disappeared village encountered accidents one after another because they offended the monster.

After learning about this period of history, everyone had a meal and rested in the guest room arranged for them by the village head before discussing.

"How is it, Seimei? Do you know what kind of monster it is?"

"Well, it's a kind of monster called 'Human Face Tree'. It was originally sacrificed by the villagers to form a spirit body. If you have enough faith, you will be able to rank among the gods someday in the future, but it has suffered a lot. The betrayal of human beings, the spiritual body was polluted by hatred and resentment, so it turned into a monster."

"The formation of that forest and the strange aura are probably due to the human face tree—every tree in the forest can be said to be its offspring, although it does not have autonomous consciousness like the main body, But each one is a demon tree that exudes a demonic aura, and that forest is a demon forest composed of a large number of demon trees."
