Chapter 19 Escape (Part 2)

For the four people who ran out of the shrine first, the life and death of the monk in white was not important, so they didn't care much.

As for these four, Sun Yixie took the lead and ran out just now, Hayato and Huang Donglai followed closely behind, and Juzo also caught up after a brief hesitation.

Logically speaking, in such a situation, Sun Yixie should be the one running at the front

But everyone knows Brother Sun, he is born to be a " "Old Six"; I don't know how he operates it. Anyway, he is running. Not even half a minute has passed, but Brother Sun has shrunk behind Hayato and in front of Huang Donglai. This way, there is no need to explore the unknown dangers ahead, and there is no need to be wary. The location of the stranger coming from behind.

Because Hayato's contact with Sun Yixie was still short, he didn't even realize anything, and his attention had already shifted to exploring the road; as for Huang Donglai, even though he had this attitude towards Sun Yixie, He was very familiar with it, but in the current situation, it was indeed more reasonable for Hayato, an onmyoji, to explore the way, and now was not the time to argue with Brother Sun over such nonsense, so he didn't say anything.

There is another matter that Huang Donglai thinks should be dealt with first, "I said, the ninja brother behind you hasn't asked you for your name yet."

No matter how hard Huang Donglai doesn't, He is familiar with Japanese things, and after seeing Juzo's use of kunai and his light kung fu skills, he can definitely guess the identity of the other ninja, so he directly put this information clearly in the question, which can be regarded as A kind of pressure.

When Juzo was asked this question, he thought for two seconds before replying in a thoughtful tone, "Ah, I'm sorry, please call me Yuzo."

"Okay, Brother Youzang." Huang Donglai tasted the product and agreed with Chongzang's attitude, but he then said, "As you can see, we have just met you for the first time, and we have not met each other for the first time. It’s hard to tell whether you are an enemy or a friend; so I have to say something ugly up front. I suggest you not to make any changes, otherwise in this environment, it will be difficult for me to ensure that I will not overreact. You understand this."< /p>

"I understand." Chongzang is also an old Jianghu, so he naturally understands Huang Donglai's approach, "I don't want to cause trouble to you, I just want to leave this ghost place alive as soon as possible"

While they were trying to mediate with these words, Sun Yixie, who was running in front of Huang Donglai, also said to Hayato, "No, it's a shame. Is the road downhill so long? Why haven't you seen the red archway yet?" Ah"

"Uh, Brother Sun, first of all, that thing is called a torii gate." Hayato thought for a moment before he understood what Sun Yixie was talking about. "Secondly, we should be trapped in a In a realm called constant darkness, this kind of realm is usually maintained by one or several big demons with their powerful demon power, and sometimes it is maintained by some powerful spiritual artifacts, but no matter what the source is, in short, once a person enters It's always dark, it's like entering a chaotic space, and the routes and distances that were originally memorized are meaningless."

"Damn" Unexpectedly, Sun Yixie only heard half of what the other party said, He rushed to answer, "Needless to say, if you want to escape, you either have to find a gap between the realm and the real world, or you have to kill all the sources of power that maintain Chang An and let Chang An disappear on his own. "Okay"

"Hey, Brother Sun, you do know this." Hayato is also surprised. This Sun Yixie can't even name the thing "Torii", but after hearing "Often" After setting up the "dark" part, he was able to explain the method of escape immediately.

Of course, you readers, we all know that these people from the Hunyuan Star Gate , after going through the battle at Zhihua Temple in Beijing, I am very familiar with this set of settings; although this is not called "Eternal Darkness" in the Central Plains, these types of spaces have similar meanings.

From a perspective, Sun Huang and the others have even dealt with big demons of the "Thirteen Dead Zodiacs" level, but Chang An and the others at Tianshangshan Shrine are a little bit indifferent now.

" Harmful, I am not yet." Sun Yixie was about to say a few words, but unexpectedly

Roar

Suddenly, a deafening low roar sounded from the downhill corner in front of everyone.< /p>

The roar was like a tsunami. The invisible sound wave rolled up the mountain road and passed by the four people, stirring up a large amount of fallen leaves and flying sand.

Rumble, rumble, rumble

Then, with a movement like an elephant running, a strange, huge black shadow crawled out from the corner of the downhill slope.

At this time, the bright moon in the sky turned blood red, and under the moonlight, the red light spread all over the place. At first glance, everyone thought it was a huge spider. , but if you look closely, you will find that this "spider" has only four legs, and these four are not actually "legs", but human arms

These four arms are thick and thin, with muscle lines and The smoothness of the skin is different, and it is obvious that these are the limbs of four different people.

Of course, this is not a big deal, because the roots of these four "legs" are the "spider". The body part is even more chaotic; its "body" seems to be composed of a pile of internal organs and pieces of meat, and the surface of the pile of meat is irregular and crowded with eight heads.

The eight heads are all human heads, and each head has a different appearance, hairstyle, age, and gender. However, one thing they have in common is that they are all "one-eyed", which is where there should be two eyes. , now only has one particularly wide and large ghost eye.

In addition, not every head has its eyes open.

Only three of these eight heads. Open your eyes, they openThe huge ghost eyes glowed with bright red light, and all of them were smiling; but the other five heads with closed eyes all showed pain on their faces, and their mouths were always open, as if they wanted to wail at any time.

As mentioned in the book here, this thing is called "Three Eyes and Eight Faces". Legend has it that it is a monster that lives in a mountain called Shenshan in Tosa Country. Although the tissues that make up its body are all similar to It is a monster that was torn from a human body but has three eyes and eight faces. It is a monster formed by multiple animal spirits devouring each other and eventually becoming entangled together. It does not possess any human intelligence or emotions.

As soon as Sun Yixie saw this thing, he was so scared that he turned around and ran away. The speed and power of his "reverse charge" would be top-notch if used to face the enemy head-on. A master now.

Fortunately, because of the previous lesson on Yandeng Slope, Huang Donglai had already predicted that Sun Yixie might turn around and beat his teammates out of cowardice. Faced with Sun Yixie's sudden counterattack, Huang Ge He just turned sideways and avoided it.

Chongzang, who was following the three of them, was stunned when he saw the cowardly Sun Yixie rushing towards him like a bull. Fortunately, he was different from the three in front. They were familiar with each other, they were separated by several meters, and as a ninja, he was not slow to react, so he managed to avoid Brother Sun's collision.

Three seconds after "Quickly retreat", when Hayato, who was standing at the front, recovered from the shock caused by the three-eyed appearance, and turned around to shout, Sun Yixie had already ran out It was more than ten meters away, so Huang Donglai and Chongzang were still waiting for Hayato's opinion.

After saying this, the three of them turned around and ran uphill again.

"I said, Hayato, you might as well not even cast a spell on this one." Huang Donglai asked Hayato while running.

"This one is much more powerful than the previous one. I'm afraid I won't be able to seal it with the move just now." Hayato replied.

"Damn it, you don't have any more powerful moves?" Huang Donglai said again.

“I’ve used this a long time ago, haven’t I?” Hayato was gradually getting angry at the question, and he said in his mind that you always make demands on me like the Central Plains monks did, so where can I go to reason with you?

In fact, Hayato's family is higher up, that is, their Kamo family. In the past few hundred years, there have been some profound masters; the kind who can kill a paper man with bare hands in an instant It’s not like there are no people from Shan Lao.

However, like the Buddhist sects in the Central Plains, Onmyoji also has its own limitations. To achieve the above-mentioned combat performance, unless you are the reincarnation of some kind of fairy spirit or an innate spiritual bone, Otherwise, you have to use powerful "shikigami" or "spiritual weapons".

In the words of Zhongyuan Daomen, you have to borrow power from guardian spirits or magic weapons, otherwise you, a mortal, cannot do it with your own spiritual power; after all, Onmyoji still practices in the world, and their power is definitely Like those in the Central Plains who have been absorbing spiritual energy and taking elixirs in the mountains all year round.There is a big gap between the monks.

Why do we often see villains in Japanese games or comics who start by "resurrecting a certain demon king" and "unlocking the seal of a certain demon king" to gain power, and then go to achieve the goal? The purpose of ruling the world

Because they can’t control it on their own without borrowing the power of these demon kings.

This is not only true for villains, but also for righteous people like Hayato; as a descendant of a certain branch of the Kamo family, the powerful shikigami and spiritual weapons of his ancestors cannot be passed on to him. , and he can still learn most of the orthodox techniques passed down by the Kamo family, and he is already burning incense. What else do you expect of his combat power, it is a bit too much.

"What a chicken!"

At the same time, Sun Yixie, who started running back faster than the three of them, just returned to the gentle area above the stone steps, and shouted again A sharp scream.

What's going on

It turned out that Sun Yixie, who had returned to the slope, saw the mountain girl who had been temporarily sealed by Hayato before at first glance

In addition to Shan Lao, the iron rat, which had already eaten and drank enough and had a lot of minced flesh and blood stuck to its body, also came out of the shrine; it didn’t even plan to make a sneak attack this time. He immediately followed Shan Lao towards this side, looking like "I can eat you without a sneak attack."

Sun Yixie took a look and saw that he couldn't go this way, so he turned around and ran down the slope, shouting "Don't come up here, there are two more coming up above"

Hearing The three people below were shocked and chilled by these words. Huang Donglai said to himself at that time, "This one monster is enough for us to drink a pot. If three monsters come to attack us, we will be afraid." It’s not that the group is going to be destroyed here.”

However, at this moment, Hayato quickly calmed down.

Some people, especially those who can do great things, have this characteristic. The more they are at a life-and-death moment, or when they are forced into a desperate situation, the more they can push their wisdom and abilities to the limit.

The same was true when Hayato helped Sun Yixie win a chance of life from the pirates. Without his words of wisdom in a hurry, Sun Yixie's fate would have been unknown.

At this moment, Hayato saw that there was no way to advance or retreat, so he immediately left the middle of the stone steps and leaned against a tree on the slope next to him, using the friction between the tree and his back to let himself go. Not rolling down the hillside, he shouted "Come to me"

After hearing this, everyone looked towards Hayato. Seeing Hayato's firm expression, they didn't say anything and all gathered quickly. passed.

Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Ma Shanjuzang are all people who have experienced life and death for a long time. They know that Hayato is definitely not giving up in his current state, and they can only believe in him unconditionally at this time.

When the four people gathered together, Hayato immediately clasped his hands together, formed an "inner binding seal", and chanted aThe word "formation" in the nine-character mantra activated his special skill of invisibility.

This is different from the invisibility technique in ninjutsu mentioned in the previous article. This technique can actually make people invisible to you; Hayato was able to escape from the sea back to Japan alive because of this technique. This technique can be said to be Hayato's trump card over the years, so he is very proficient and can perform it instantly.

Of course, it stands to reason that this technique can only make him invisible, and he has to stay as still as possible when he is invisible, otherwise he may be seen.

So when he and Sun Yixie were robbed together, he did not use this trick. If he had used this trick, it would be equivalent to abandoning Sun Yixie, who was suffering from gout at the time. Let the latter die alone; secondly, even if he ignores Brother Sun and survives temporarily by being invisible, and the pirates did not drive away or sink the plundered ship, Hayato will not be able to do it on his own in the future. Forced to drive the ship full of corpses back to the shore.

But today, at this moment, in the "eternal darkness", Hayato felt that he could use the abundant spiritual power in the field to try and activate an invisibility technique that would include the three people around him.

Rumble, rumble

A few seconds later, on the other side of the downhill, the three-eyed footsteps were getting closer and closer. Its huge body and unparalleled strength shook the stone steps. The woods on both sides were easily pushed down like building blocks. It was obvious that if everyone escaped into the forest on the side of the road and were affected by the slopes and trees, they would be overtaken and crushed by these three eyes.

On the other side, Shan Lao and Iron Rat, who were above them, were also approaching the uphill slope of the stone step road. Their shadows, stretched by the blood moon, had already been shot down.

The three people who came near Hayato, although they did not communicate with each other in words, they all noticed that their companions looked gradually transparent. The three people immediately understood what Hayato was doing.

At this moment, Sun Huang no longer struggled with whether Juzo was trustworthy or not. Everyone quickly imitated Hayato, tried to stay away from the middle of the road, and pressed their bodies against the stone steps. He stood on a few nearby trees, then held his breath and tried to remain still.

Not long after, the three monsters from the upper and lower roads had arrived only a few meters away from the crowd. At this time, the four of them were basically completely transparent and could not even see their shadows; Even if they still have shadows, they will overlap with the trees on the roadside, making it difficult to distinguish them.

It was by chance that the three monsters each stopped one or two meters away from where the four of them were. At this time, as long as the three monsters took two steps forward, they might be there. It will crush Juzo who is at the bottom of his standing position.

But the three monsters did not seem to have much intelligence. When they came close, they saw that no one was in sight. They stood for a while with confused faces, and then turned around and headed towards them. The direction went back.

In this way, the four people escaped.

When the monsters on both sides were gone, Hayabusa released the spell and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, Hayato, no, Brother Hayabusa, I misunderstood you, you are still capable. "Huang Donglai, who was rescued, fell out and started calling people brother.

"Damn it, I was so scared that I almost peeed. Fortunately, those guys were stupid and could only use their eyes to identify the enemy. . "Sun Yixie was completely paralyzed on the ground at this moment.

Even Chongzang was a little stronger than Sun Yixie. Although he was also scared, he was not so arrogant. Thank you sir for your help. "After he thanked him, he immediately respectfully asked Hayato, "Sir, what will happen next?"

"Don't worry. Hayato's expression felt a lot more relaxed at this time, "Through the technique just now, I have roughly understood how much my limit has been increased in the constant darkness. When I take a rest, I think I can try to use the wisdom fist seal to break it." If there is a fissure in the realm, we can escape directly; even if this trick doesn't work, I can use the outer seal to release a paper crane to help us avoid danger and find a way out. ”

Hayato didn’t blow his hair.

To make a long story short, after adjusting his breath for a while, he really opened a crack with a mantra of the word "Lie" combined with the Zhi Fist Seal on his hand, and brought The three of them successfully escaped from the darkness.

The moment they stepped out of the darkness, everyone felt that the chaotic atmosphere around them suddenly dissipated, and then some winter morning light shone through the trees.

The four of them looked back and found that not far behind them was the bright red torii gate they had seen when they went up the mountain last night, but at this moment, the torii gate looked brighter in the sun. It looked dilapidated and almost rotten.

They never approached it again, but quickly walked down the stone steps and took a detour out of the mountain.
