Chapter 284 The origin of the headless, the decisiveness of the big tengu
Among the twelve ghosts and gods, the leaderless one deserves to be the number one in terms of strength, and he is a 'ghost king'-like existence.
The other eleven ghosts and gods are not convinced by each other, and their strength is almost the same. They are all leaderless, which makes them feel afraid.
The origin of the headless is actually very special, different from the other eleven ghosts and gods.
The other eleven ghosts and gods are formed by the accumulation of many resentments after death.
They belong to life after death.
But without a head, he is a living person who has transformed into a ghost.
Hundreds of years ago, during the Warring States Period, he was a small lord, different from other lords who always wanted to fight on the battlefield, invade and kill.
He always has a kind heart, but in a sinful era when wars are raging and everyone is like a wolf, he is always willing to believe that human nature is inherently good.
He gave porridge and charity, was good at giving, and took pleasure in helping others. He saved countless people.
During the Warring States Period, other places were in chaos, blood and fire, pain and injuries.
Only his territory can be regarded as a pure land and a refuge for countless people to seek refuge.
But in the end, his good deeds did not bring good rewards.
Because at that time, not everyone could remember the favor.
He rescued several refugees, gave them food and clothing, but was betrayed by the refugees.
He saw with his own eyes that his wife and daughter were tortured to death, that his elderly parents were hanged alive, that his relatives, friends, and everyone related to him were slaughtered one by one.
He regretted it extremely, remembering that his parents had told him not to be too trusting in others, but he didn't take it to heart.
Even when his wife reminded him, he got angry and scolded her.
Because he naively believes that he can make true friends by being heart-to-heart and treating him sincerely.
But I didn't expect that it would have such consequences...
Finally, the perpetrator burned his home with a fire.
He was also tied up at home and suffered the pain of being burned in the fire.
The fire burned for three days and three nights.
The flames burned everything.
The only pure land during the Warring States Period was turned into ruins.
But he didn't die!
He was reborn in the flames, and rose again in the ruins. His endless hatred turned him into a ghost.
But at that time, he was not headless, his head was still there.
Until he himself cut off his own head with a knife.
Cutting off the head means breaking with the past!
With this knife, he cut off all kindness, all kindness, and all humanity in the past.
He is no longer the benevolent man who likes to do good, but a cruel ghost and god!
He will be leaderless for the rest of his life, living for revenge and killing.
now.
The other eleven ghosts and gods all looked leaderless.
The headless figure is the thinnest among the twelve ghosts and gods, with the figure of an ordinary person, unlike other ghosts and gods who are often two to three meters, four or five meters tall.
The skin all over his body was a red color. This was because he had been burned in flames, so his skin became like this.
He was holding a ghost-headed sword in his hand, about two meters long, with a sharp edge. On the hilt was a human head, with eyes open, as if it were alive. It was made from his own head.
The human head on this ghost-headed sword spoke: "They are greedy for your flesh and blood, but I, the king, don't care."
As he spoke, the breath all over his body was like a vast ocean, surging throughout the secret room.
When the great priest felt this aura, his expression suddenly changed.
"Have you recovered?"
There was deep fear in the eyes of the high priest. The King of Ghosts has no leader. This is a terrifying ghost that once made Ashina feel troublesome.
He was born from the flames and cut off his own head without dying.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, he is immortal and can only be sealed but cannot be killed.
And his power is almost endless, because his power comes from his own hatred, unlike other ghosts and gods, which are a collection of resentful spirits. Once injured, his power will weaken.
Originally, this secret room was covered with the sacred symbols of the shrine, and was a sealed place. The high priest originally planned to use time to weaken these ghosts and gods little by little, and finally devour them.
Unexpectedly, the power of other ghosts and gods has indeed weakened, but the power of the leaderless has been restored, which shows how extraordinary he is.
"Headless, I know the hatred in your heart. You regard the land of Country R as a land of sin. You hate all the creatures on this land. You want to kill them all!"
A ruthless look flashed in the eyes of the high priest, "I promise you, as long as you agree to take action, no matter what you want to do, I will not stop you, even if you turn Country R into a ghost, I will not interfere.
"
"You are the Great Tengu, and it is the faith of the world that allows you to exist in the world. Are you actually willing to abandon the world?"
The ghost-headed sword instantly trembled, and the copper rings on the blade's spine made the sound of metal collision.
The Big Tengu was originally a myth and legend from Country R.
It doesn't really exist in history.
In the beginning, the sacred animal enshrined in the shrine was the Daitengu, but at that time, the Daitengu was just a statue.
But over time, as more and more people in Country R believed in this legend, countless people came to the shrine to pray. Slowly, the power of their faith gave the statue real life!
The Great Tengu was born from faith.
Without the citizens of country r, it would not exist.
Now he is willing to abandon these 'parents', which is simply unbelievable.
"Hmph, I am even willing to give up my own flesh and blood, why do I still care about this? The life and death of these stupid citizens have nothing to do with me. As long as I can get the favor of the Holy Lady and get her love, that is enough."
The high priest's eyes were crazy, and the only thing in his heart was the saint Linglong.
"In that case, then do as you wish."
Wushou made a decision, and slashed the head of the high priest with the sword of Ghost Head.
"Pfft."
Blood shot up more than three feet high and sprayed everywhere on the ceiling.
As the head was chopped off, the great priest's true body was immediately revealed. It was a huge dog with two wings on its back.
Other ghosts and gods, laughing ferociously, swarmed up and ate the flesh and blood of the Great Tengu.
For these ghosts and gods, this is simply a gluttonous feast.
"Go ahead and eat, I will have a better body later!" As for the spirit of the Great Tengu, it separated from the body and looked on indifferently.
In the shrines of Country R, there are also spiritual cultivation methods. The Great Tengu has practiced hard for hundreds of years and successfully condensed his own soul.
That's why he could give up his body so simply.
Even if his physical body is destroyed, as long as his spirit still exists, he will not die.
When the time comes, he can change to a new body and carry out body snatching.
As his flesh and blood were devoured quickly.
"Boom!"
The auras of ghosts and gods quickly climbed to their peak, and their originally illusory bodies gradually condensed. This sealed chamber could no longer withstand the auras of so many powerful men, and countless divine patterns were shattered one after another.
"Click."
Finally, the secret room split open, and a huge crack appeared on the ground.
