One Hundred Ways to Beat the Ghost King [Onmyoji]

"Does the little goldfish know this monster?" Jiaotu asked curiously, patting the fish's tail.

Jinyu Ji stared at the fainted Qing Shui with her eyes wide open. After a while, she slapped her fan and said, "I remember! This is the human who was rescued by Master Yimulian outside Naian City!"

"Human...?" Jiaotu glanced suspiciously at Qing Shui, who exuded a faint demonic aura, "Is she a friend of Lord Fengshen?"

"Anyway, let's take her back first! If you stay here, you might be eaten by other monsters!" Jinyu Ji didn't answer Jiaotu's question immediately, but rolled her eyes and urged her to take Qingshui back. .

"Are you sure you didn't send her to land... but brought her back to the palace?" Jiaotu hesitated, then leaned over and whispered, "Your Excellency will definitely be angry."

"Hmph! I don't care!" Jinyu Ji curled her lips, leaned over and said coquettishly, "Forget about that villain, let's go, and when she wakes up, I must ask her why she turned into a monster!"

Jiaotu has always been unable to resist Jinyu Ji's coquettishness, so he spat out a bubble to wrap the clear water, closed the shell and sank into the sea.

On the smoky sea, dark clouds covered the sun in the dark sky, and heavy rain poured down from the sky. The rain curtain obscured the sight that was already unclear.

A huge mirage-like palace faintly reveals several majestic eaves corners from the sea of ​​fog, and the hazy and beautiful light like a night pearl illuminates the sea of ​​fog, like a lighthouse on the sea.

The steps of the palace are connected to the sea, and waves often rush to the steps, leaving a few small shells or seaweed after fading.Seeing that the steps were stained, a patrolling sea monster soon came over and ate the seaweed in one bite.

Before reaching the steps of the palace, Jiaotu's fish tail instantly transformed into a pair of slender white legs and walked up. The shell leaning against the shore opened a little, revealing Qingshui's pale face, shielding her from the wind and rain outside.

The Lord of Arakawa was closing his eyes, frowning and trying to feel the evil spirit emanating from the bottom of the vast Arakawa, when he saw Jinyu Ji and Jiaotu bring back an unconscious half-demon.

"Short! You're back from picking things up again!" Arakawa slapped Jinyu Ji's head with a fan, "How many times have I said, don't bring humans and monsters on land into the palace."

He is the lord of the Arakawa domain, and the outside monsters think that his palace is built in Haiti, but they don't know that the palace is actually built on the sea, and will drift and move with the river.This is one of the reasons why he has been able to properly manage the Arakawa River Basin for thousands of years, and it also makes it difficult for monsters who want to provoke and compete for the territory.

Jinyu Ji's eyes widened, and she immediately jumped up angrily, "She was lying in sister Jiaotu's shell, why did she only hit me on the head!"

"Because she won't forget my instructions, you must have pestered her to bring this monster back." Arakawa said affirmatively without raising his eyelids.

Seeing Jinyu Ji jumping angrily, Jiaotu covered his face with a smile, "My lord, I picked up this monster. Don't blame the little goldfish."

It was rare to see a crack in Arakawa's expression, and Jinyu Ji immediately pushed the shell on the side of the steps a little more confidently, "Look, it's her!"

Arakawa glanced at Shimizu subconsciously, and frowned slightly, but Jinyu Ji continued: "The human who fought against the villain Ibaraki Doji outside Naian City last time!"

Hearing this, Arakawa's expression changed, as if he had thought of something, his subordinates summoned a few swimming fish to leave Jiaotu's shell with Qingshui.

Looking at the black-haired woman with closed eyes, Arakawa stretched out his hand and lifted her eyelids to take a look, and said thoughtfully, "Take her back to the palace first."

Fishes living in the vast ocean know everything, and Arakawa can often collect all kinds of information from all the fish in the sea.Similarly, he has heard about Shuten-douji's recent deeds. There is a new mistress in the ghost clan, and the other party is a half-demon transformed from a human.

And in the past half a month, the other party turned the land upside down in order to find the missing half-demon.

Based on the distinctive green eyes of the other party, Arakawa vaguely guessed her identity from the bottom of his heart.

When Qing Shui woke up again, it was already the night of the second day.

The weakness of the demon power made her body look fragile at this moment. She barely supported her body, but found herself lying in a gorgeous room surrounded by many beautiful and crystal clear coral and pearl ornaments.

Was she saved by humans...?

"Are you awake?" A surprised voice came from behind, and Qing Shui subconsciously turned around, and saw a mermaid girl sitting not far from her.

"Ding", the floor sweeper No. 1689 found Jiaotu, an ordinary R-rank monster.

Not humans, but monsters.

Before Shimizu could answer, Jiaotu's fish tail was retracted, turned into two legs, stood up and walked out quickly, "Master Arakawa said, you must tell him as soon as you wake up, you are here to wait for me obediently oh."

Arakawa?

Qing Shui was slightly taken aback, this strange yet familiar name came to her ears, and it immediately made her understand where she was at the moment.

After waking up, she began to feel faint pains in her abdomen again, which made her blood-losing face even paler, and even her lips turned white.Sensing the demonic power which was so weak that it was almost unbearable, Qing Shui panicked, and covered his lower abdomen with one hand uneasily.

The sound of steady footsteps came, and the paper door was quickly pulled open.A white-haired one-horned monster walked in with one side of his muscular chest. It was the Lord of Arakawa who had met outside Naian City that day. Behind him was a little girl with cherry-colored hair.

"Are you Shimizu from Dajiangshan?" This was the first sentence Arakawa said when he saw her.

Qing Shui was startled, and replied a little weakly: "That's right...Thank you for saving me."

"Sure enough." Arakawa nodded clearly, his guess was right, "Shuten-douji has been looking for you for half a month, why did you appear in my Arakawa valley?"

Shimizu hesitated for a moment, seeing that Arakawa had no malicious intentions, he braced himself up and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Jinyu Ji, who came from behind Arakawa's butt, was originally thinking of gossip, but seeing the monsters around him all turned serious because of Shimizu's words, she immediately smelled something unusual, and closed her eyes obediently. The mouth did not bother them.

"Excalibur Tomb?" Arakawa's expression changed, and he said in a serious tone, "You said Kusanagi built the Excalibur Tomb on the bottom of the sea? Where exactly?"

No wonder he has been vaguely feeling a strange evil spirit emanating from a certain place in the sea recently. It turns out that someone borrowed his place to practice swords.

"It's where Jiaotu rescued me."

Jiaotu gasped, and said worriedly, "My lord, we must make a plan to dismiss the sea monsters here as soon as possible, otherwise the monsters in this sea area will be shocked to death the moment the Excalibur comes out."

Hearing this, Jinyu Ji jumped up, "Fortunately, we rescued her, otherwise something serious would happen!"

"This is the second day after I escaped from the Excalibur Tomb. On the tenth day, the Kusanagi sword will complete its final tempering."

Hearing her subtle voice, Arakawa keenly felt that her already weak demon power was almost gone at this moment, so he frowned and said: "Thank you for telling me this news. Are you seriously injured? Can you stay in the hospital?" I am temporarily recovering from my injuries in the palace, and I will help you pass the news to Dajiangshan."

Unexpectedly, Qing Shui shook his head, raised his pale face and looked at him, "Where is this?"

Before Arakawa could speak, Jinyu Ji answered first, "This is the west coast of Kochi Prefecture on Shikoku Island."

Kochi Prefecture... In other words, it is very close to Kyushu Island?

Qing Shui's eyes lit up, and he begged eagerly, "Can you send me to Kagoshima, Your Excellency?"

"Kagoshima...Aren't you going back to Oeyama? Shuten-douji has already messed up the situation on land in order to find you." Arakawa looked at her with a little surprise, and a hint of puzzlement flashed in his eyes.

Going to Kagoshima is completely opposite to Oeyama.

Qing Shui showed a wry smile, pressed his painful abdomen, and the voice as thin as a mosquito sounded again, "I implore you to save my child..."

Even though she desperately wanted to see Shuten now, there were more important things she needed to protect.

Hearing this, Arakawa's expression was shocked, and he looked at Shimizu's abdomen in amazement.

She was injured by the evil spirit in the Excalibur Tomb, and after struggling in the deep sea for so long, the child in her stomach quickly absorbed her demon power due to survival instinct.Qing Shui now feels that his body is like a lake that is about to bottom out, if the last drop of water in the lake disappears, then the fish in it will dry up and die.

Now she urgently needs the supplemental irrigation of the original demon power, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

"Is there a baby in my sister's belly?" Jinyu Ji approached her curiously, her eyes kept turning around her, and then she pulled Arakawa's sleeve vigorously, "My lord, don't be dazed, help her! "

Arakawa recovered from the shock, and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, his expression became serious.

Descendants are extremely precious to the big monster.

Although Jiu Tun-douji and him have not seen each other for many years, they can be regarded as friends. No matter what the purpose is, he should also help at this juncture.

Without any hesitation, Arakawa temporarily put aside the matter of dismissing the monsters in this sea area, and quickly said: "Don't worry, I can send you to Kagoshima right now. You don't have to worry about Shuten-douji, I will take you Tell him about it."

This couldn't be better, Shimizu's tense heart finally got a breath, "Lord of Arakawa, I am very grateful..."

Seeing her almost transparent white face struggling to squeeze out a few smiles, Arakawa frowned slightly, "You are too weak, let me see you off in person."

Running fast in such raging seas, only under his protection can he not be injured.

The torrential rain in the sky has long since stopped, the moonlight is shining brightly, and the sponge is sparkling.

Once again, the gorgeous palace was hidden in the dense fog like a mirage, but a huge water dragon was swiftly and nimbly flying in the sea.Standing at the head of the dragon, Arakawa looked at the endless sea, and at the same time used his demon power to support the clear water on the dragon's back as a barrier, so that she would not be hurt by raging waves and strong winds.

Qing Shui lay weakly on the back of the water dragon, with her eyes closed tightly enduring the pain in her abdomen, the loss of demon power made her feel as if her life force had been emptied.

Seeing it, Arakawa felt a little anxious, but he didn't dare to speed up his journey, so he could only keep the water dragon swimming towards the southwest coast at this steady speed.

The water dragon sprinted all night, from moonset to sunrise on the sea, and in the early morning of the second day, the coast finally appeared in sight.

When he turned his head again, Qing Shui's consciousness was almost gone.Arakawa's heart shuddered, and he summoned Yuyu to hold her body up, and quickly rushed to the Forest of Yinghuo described in Shimizu's words.

Feeling that hope was getting closer and closer to him, Qing Shui finally pulled himself together and woke up, retaining the last trace of sobriety until he reached the edge of the forest of Yinghuo Forest.

The closer she got to the Forest of Yinghuo, the familiar power of the forest made her cheer up involuntarily, and her strength gradually recovered a lot.

Avoiding the sight of the humans working in the village, Arakawa stepped into the Firefly Forest with her. At this moment, although Shimizu's face was still pale, his expression became much clearer.

She turned her head and nodded in thanks, "Thank you, I can walk the rest of the way by myself, please trouble you for delaying me for so long."

This place is no longer within the sphere of influence of the Lord of Arakawa, so Shimizu advised him to hurry back to the waters of Arakawa to deal with the evil spirits on the seabed.

"I'll pass on your news to Shuten-douji."

Arakawa nodded without refusing, and seeing that she had indeed regained a lot of energy and was protected by a powerful demon sword, he turned around and rushed into the sea in a hurry.

There were less than seven days left in the ten-day period, and he had to rush back as soon as possible to dismiss all the monsters and people in the vast ocean.

Qing Shui didn't dare to delay any longer, she could feel that the demonic power in her body was almost dry due to the two days of running around, so she pulled herself together and followed the route in memory to the depths of the Yinghuo Forest.

The closeness of the wood charms relieved her body a bit, but the hunger that had not been eaten for several days also followed, making her clearly feel the exhaustion of her body.

The Forest of Yinghuo is still as beautiful as in memory, thinking of Xiaolu after a long absence, Shimizu's tense mood is also rarely relaxed.

"Brother Ichitaro! Look, there is a monster going there. Shall we trip her?" In the jungle, three pairs of small eyes blinked in the dark.

"Uh... But the family motto says not to bully the weak!"

"Ah!!! She actually went to the barrier, it must be for the antlers!" Another strange voice murmured.

Ichitaro seemed to hesitate for a moment, then gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "If this is the case, then we have to take action! Grandpa, grandpa, uncle, uncle and uncle both told us to protect our companions!"

"Let's scare the enemy away!"

The weakness of the demon power made Qing Shui's perception dull and blurred. She followed the memory in her mind to the junction of Xiaolu's territory, raised her foot and stepped in.

Within two steps, a twisting and shaking figure under a purple cloak appeared in front of her like a ghost. Seeing the monster with a mallet and ax rushing towards her, Qing Shui was startled so defenseless, the conditions Reflexively dodged the opponent's attack.

The powerlessness of her body made her move slowly, but she still grabbed the opponent's mallet with the last bit of strength, and hit the head under the cloak hard.

"what--!"

"Brother Ichitaro, what's wrong with you!"

The excessive force made Qing Shui's eyes go dark, and he fell on the shaky purple cloak all of a sudden.

"Ah! Brother Ertaro, I'm about to be crushed!"

"Santaro... Brother Ichitaro seems to have been knocked out..."

Two weasels with black fur crawled out from under Qingshui, and they worked together to grab another unconscious weasel by the tail, dragging it out with difficulty.

"Er Taro, Santaro, what are you doing?" A gentle and suspicious voice came, and a deer demon with white hair and green eyes came out from the depths of the territory.

"Someone wants to get your antlers, don't worry, she has already been defeated by our three brothers!"

Xiao Lu frowned slightly. He walked out of the territory only because he felt the long-lost familiar aura. Looking at the thin and slender figure on the ground, he stepped forward with a heartbeat, bent down and turned him around.

In the next second, a clear and pale face was reflected in his eyes, that lifeless face made his heart twitch, his pupils narrowed slightly and he whispered: "Qingqing!"

Realizing that the other party was rapidly losing demon power and life, Xiaolu's heart tightened, and he immediately picked up the other party and ran away into the depths of the forest.

The remaining two sober weasels blinked and looked at each other, "What should I do brother, they seem to know each other."

"Uh... Then did we do something wrong..." Ertaro said with difficulty, swallowing and spitting.

The two looked at each other, put their eyes on the fainted weasel, and said in unison: "This is an order from brother Ichitaro!"

Fawn hugged Qing Shui tightly and walked to the depths of the grassy territory, his brows were deeply wrinkled in worry.

He could feel that Qing Shui devoured the power of the forest he gave and became a half-demon, but for some reason, the monster power was rapidly draining at a terrifying speed, and there was even a faint tendency to swallow her life.

Fawn's solemn green eyes glanced around nervously, and finally put Qingshui under the giant tree in the center of the territory.

The giant tree is luxuriant, even in the early spring, there are still many crystal and delicious pineapple fruits.A force of forest slowly penetrated into the giant tree, and in the next second the roots of the giant tree were uprooted from the depths of the soil at a speed visible to the naked eye, slowly enveloping the clear water tightly.

The branches at the root are entangled, like a huge insect cocoon. After realizing that the originally weak evil spirit inside is slowly recovering under the nourishment of the giant tree, Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief, and suppressed the doubts and worries in his heart. Stand by the roots of the tree.

The purple cloak followed up unsteadily again, stepped on a stone and fell in front of the deer, and three weasels rolled out of the cloak.

"what--!"

The screams kept coming and going, and looking at the scene of the man turning his back on his back, Xiaolu's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he asked in a deep voice, "Ichitaro, are you all right?"

"It's okay, it's just that a bag was knocked on the head, and I'm still a little dizzy now!"

"Xiaolu, is this monster your friend? It seems that the situation is not good."

The little deer sighed, turned his eyes to the entangled roots of the giant tree again, and murmured, "Yeah...what happened to make you so embarrassed."

This giant tree is the origin of Yinghuo's forest demon power. He is the guardian monster of this tree, and the forest power that was once bestowed on Shimizu also originated from this.Fortunately, under the gentle protection of the giant tree, Qing Shui's injuries can slowly recover.

He touched the roots of the giant tree, closed his eyes and felt the breathing of the clear water slowly become steady, so he relaxed and guarded it.

Three days passed, and there was still no movement inside.

"Xiao Lu, is she still awake?" Ichitaro asked inarticulately while eating the fruit.

Xiaolu shook his head, his originally calm eyes were once again stained with worry.

Five days passed, silent as ever.

Ertaro tugged on his sleeve, and asked in a low voice anxiously: "Xiaolu... have you noticed that the strength of the barrier in the territory has weakened?"

"Don't worry." The little deer comforted it gently, "Because the giant tree was consuming demon power to give birth to her, the enchantment will become weaker, and it will be fine when she wakes up."

Seven days passed, and the roots of the giant tree remained motionless. Feeling that most of the power of the forest had disappeared from the giant tree, the fawn's expression also became serious.

"Little deer...is there really no problem?" The barrier has weakened a lot these days, and there are already monsters from the outside world who are eager to enter here to snatch the Piluo fruit.

Withdrawing his hand from touching the root system, he noticed that there seemed to be two hearts beating inside, one strong and one weak, and Xiao Lu couldn't help but be puzzled.

Just when he was anxious and puzzled, the tightly wrapped roots of the giant tree finally moved like a cocoon. The little deer looked happy, and walked forward a few steps and called: "Qingqing?"

However, in the next second, the roots of the giant tree slowly moved away, and a naked body about the size of a two-year-old human child fell down. Before they could react, the roots of the giant tree closed again.

Looking at the ignorant cub with black hair and purple eyes in front of him, Xiao Lu stared blankly at the scene with his mouth wide open.

"Huh????" The weasels beside him also exclaimed, "Whose cub is this?"

The child's purple eyes and pointed ears clearly showed her identity as a monster.

"Ah—" the child yelled while sitting on the ground with confused eyes, lying on the grass while spitting bubbles while staring at the deer closely, his eyes were full of dependence and joy.

The little deer's expression moved, and he was keenly aware that this child had a powerful and terrifying demonic power, and it was she who greedily sucked away more than half of the giant tree's demonic power.

"Santaro, do not despise evil."

Fawn looked at the girl with a complicated expression, took off his outer shirt, wrapped her naked body, and hugged her gently in his arms.

This monster cub should be Shimizu's child. When he first returned to the Forest of Fireflies, he hadn't noticed the existence of this life, but the other party quickly left the mother's body prematurely because he absorbed the monster power from the giant tree.

Wanting to understand this point, Xiao Lu once again turned his gaze to the clear water in the giant tree, his eyes were full of anger and pity.

What exactly happened that made her return to the Forest of Yinghuo with wounds and bruises all by herself?

*****

"Brother Ichitaro, look at the eggs I secretly took from the human village. Humans like to use this to feed their cubs!" Santaro said happily with an egg in his paw.

Ichitaro, who had already collapsed on the ground tired from washing clothes, said lazily: "Stupid! Monsters are different from humans, that little girl only eats pycnogenols."

Santaro shrugged and hid the egg on himself, "Who is the father of that child?"

"I don't know, but it must be a powerful big monster. It's scary to be born with such a strong monster power." Ertaro interjected from the side, and from the corner of his eye, he turned to Xiaolu who had been patiently teaching the child how to speak. He whispered, "But I think that child seems to regard Xiaolu as his father."

Ichitaro rolled his eyes, and said secretly: "Do you think that little girl is the cub of the deer? The evil spirit on them is very close."

"No way...she doesn't have antlers on her head."

All the whispers of the three brothers fell into his ears, Xiao Lu felt helpless but ignored it, just looked at the child in front of him distressedly, and gently wiped the fruit juice from his mouth for her.

The girl was wearing a kimono that was much bigger than hers crookedly, and her small face was delicate and elegant.Her long black hair is like soft satin, and her eyes are as clear as amethyst, which will inadvertently steal the attention of others.

The kid was extraordinarily bright, quick to learn anything, and very independent and bold.

And the color of these eyes should belong to her father.

Thinking of Qing Shui who hadn't woken up yet, Xiao Lu sighed melancholy, and held the girl in his arms, "It's been three days...your mother hasn't woken up yet."

"Son, who is your father..."

After finishing the words, the girl wrapped her arms around his neck affectionately, and called out inarticulately: "Father—"

Xiao Lu couldn't help laughing, and rubbed her face, "Silly boy, I'm not your father."

The other party seemed to understand what he meant, blinked his eyes in dissatisfaction, kicked his calf twice, and yelled again.

The three Kamaitachi brothers laughed at the side, and then Ichitaro put on a serious face and said, "Maybe your friend was bullied by some terrible big monster, so he had to give birth to this child."

In the monster world, this kind of situation is too common.

Santaro also echoed: "Yes, their mother and daughter must have been abandoned. It's so pitiful. This child was born as a big monster. I don't know how strong it will be in the future. That monster will definitely regret it."

"Anyway, she doesn't have a father, so it's the same for Xiaolu to be her father." Ertaro followed suit.

The girl blinked her eyes half-understood, and hugged the fawn's neck even tighter.

"..."

Xiaolu was about to reprimand the three brothers not to talk indiscriminately in front of the children, when he felt a vibration in the territory barrier, and his face changed suddenly.After the barrier became weaker, other monsters would try to break in every day, but it was the first time that it shook so violently.

He clearly sensed that a monster with strong demon power had forcibly broken into the barrier, heading towards the giant tree.

The author has something to say: Xiao Gongju is born, Xiao Lu is happy to be a father.

*****

Qi Luo, a premature baby: Papa.

Xiaolu (smiling): I am here.

Jiu Tun (heart ashamed): I'm already a waste.

Shimizu: I was caught off guard when this child was born.

*****

Guess who will find Shimizu first, Kusanagi or Shuten... and the powerful heroine is finally coming back!

Today, I hit the ninth floor of the Sickle Itachi dungeon, and I couldn't live without love. The tenth floor is much easier than the ninth floor.

I swear I never want to hear "yahaha" and fat beating again in my life.
