Chapter 78: Monster Power and Meeting in a Narrow Way
In just the past few days, Qiao Xi has roughly understood the current distribution of forces in the demon world.
In addition to the big country he knew before, he heard that there was a dog demon that ruled the Western Kingdom, and there was also a sect of monsters from Tono...
There are many forces rising up in all directions, and it can be called a prosperous age of monsters.
Seimei has completely disappeared. There are many onmyojis in Kyoto, but none of them can reach the height of Seimei. The most powerful one, I heard, the Hanakaiin family now has an onmyoji, but it only has a bit of the charm of Seimei.
…
Qiao Xi was sorting through the recent information in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Kyoto is now in chaos. The headquarters of the majestic Onmyoji has been occupied by a fox demon. This fox demon even boasts that Seimei's mother will give birth to Seimei.
——If Qiao Xi just couldn't stand the fox demon's wanton treatment of human life at first, he was really angry when he heard that she called herself Qingming's mother.
For a person as proud as Qingming, if he knew that cats and dogs dared to claim to be his mother, he didn't know if he would regret that he had lost all his soul at that time.
——Qiao Xi was of course sure that the person was not Qingming. After all, Qingming also lost his mind in front of her.
With confused thoughts in her mind, Qiao Xi sighed, and after beating up the monsters blocking her way, she no longer had the intention to observe the changes in the human world in the past hundred years, so she sped up and headed towards Kyoto.
It took him three years to get from the shrine to Kyoto last time, but this time it only took two days, even though there were several unsightly roadblocks.
On the one hand, he has indeed become stronger after sleeping this time, and on the other hand, he is focused on traveling without delaying other things.
When he met a wave of monsters again outside the city of Kyoto, Qiao Xi, who had wasted a lot of time after being blocked by various monsters along the way, almost drew his sword in anger and chopped off all these guys in front of him, but what made him calm down was
, he felt some Yin and Yang Dao aura in the handsome guy at the head.
Because of this, he did not take action immediately, but stopped and stood there and looked at the monsters.
The varieties of monsters in this pile can be considered... diverse.
Not to mention the few monsters standing in front who looked very powerful, Qiao Xi wanted to say, what the hell is that little Natto monk who pokes his head out?!
After a long while, Qiao Xi twitched the corner of her mouth, her eyes fell on the monster in the middle who was obviously the leader, and she raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts?"
The monster looks quite handsome, with a ruffian style of painting. His hair is half blond and half black. The hairstyle is a little strange but it matches him well. The yukata he is wearing is not neatly worn, and he looks a little careless.
His eyes looked evil, but they were clear and clear, and they would not make people feel offended when he looked at them.
Hearing Qiao Xi's question, the monster also raised his eyebrows and smiled broadly. If you listen carefully, you can even hear a bit of pride in his tone: "It's my uncle's Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts."
Qiao Xi: "..."
This familiar name brought back some memories. Qiao Xi paused for a moment before asking slowly: "Who are you?"
As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at a monster standing behind the monster young man.
The monster's hair hung down, covering half of its face. It looked the most human-like, but its aura was extremely ferocious.
——Except for the leader, this one is probably the only one among the hundreds of ghosts who can make Qiao Xi pay more attention to him.
While Qiao Xi was observing, she carefully recalled it in her mind for a while, and finally determined that she had never heard the little monsters talk about such a wave of monsters.
So he tilted his head and asked straightforwardly:
"I have never seen you before, and I have never heard of such a group of monsters. What are you doing in Kyoto?"
He didn't ask politely at all. Before the leader of the monster could say anything, several hot-tempered little monsters behind him became excited. If the calmer people next to him hadn't stopped him, they might not have wanted to directly
Jumped out.
The monster leader looked Qiao Xi up and down, not sure if he saw anything, but he didn't look angry at all. Instead, he touched his chin with interest and asked Qiao Xi, "Who are you?
What are you doing in Kyoto?"
Qiao Xi tilted her head and said honestly: "I promised someone to come to Kyoto at this time to visit."
Seeing Qiao Xi's generous attitude, the monster leader opened his eyes in surprise, then raised his head and laughed.
"Interesting, interesting. You were invited by someone else, and my wife was snatched by a monster. I came here to snatch her back."
Qiao Xi couldn't help but blink and stare at the monster. After a while, she couldn't help but ask: "Do you have a wife?"
——Looking at the words "romantic and suave" written all over this man, he thought he was the type who "walks through thousands of flowers without even touching a leaf".
While Qiao Xi was saying this, he also saw a girl hiding behind the leader of the monster.
The girl looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, and her appearance was very delicate--although she was a little less sexy than Hongye, she was already very outstanding among humans.
The girl poked her head out from behind the monster and gave Qiao Xi a friendly smile.
What needs to be emphasized is that this girl seems to be an orthodox human being. She was originally full of spiritual energy, but now she is mixed among a bunch of monsters. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell.
Qiao Xi blinked her eyes and gave her a gentle smile in return.
The monster caught a glimpse of Qiao Xi's movements, smiled casually, and protected the girl with his hands, saying: "What? I can't have a wife?"
Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, I'm just a little curious."
After saying a few polite words casually, he thought for a moment and asked proactively: "Are you from Kyoto?"
The monster waved his hand to signal the crowd of monsters behind him to quiet down. Then he walked up to Qiao Xi and looked Qiao Xi up and down for a while. Instead of answering Qiao Xi's question, he asked: "Why are you going to Kyoto?"
?”
The monster leader was more than a head taller than Qiao Xi. When he spoke, he bent down slightly and put his face in front of Qiao Xi. When he spoke with a smile, Qiao Xi stared into his dark red eyes.
This is actually a bit offensive to say, because based on its breath alone, this monster does not look like a nameless little monster.
However, he was not angry when Qiao Xi stared at him like this. He just raised the corners of his mouth frivolously and waited for Qiao Xi's answer.
Qiao Xi thought for a while and decided that she would ask him about the situation in Kyoto later. It didn't matter what the purpose of going to Kyoto was. So she said, "Well, I heard that there is a nine-tailed fox in Kyoto who was entrusted by someone to ask for it."
