Hoshikuma Doji: "However, I was just confused and angry about this, but I didn't do anything. The one who really tried to change and took action was Ishikuma."
Shixiong Tongzi, the King of the Great Rivers and Mountains who is evaluated as "honest and honest".
He is also a unique being among the ghost tribe.
It is said that Shikuma Doji is not a pure ghost, his blood is mixed with the blood of the Kamo family, a family of human onmyoji.
It is a living example of how humans and some special ghosts can give birth to offspring.
In a sense, it provides Kamiyagawa with factual evidence in this regard.
Ishikuma Doji grew up in the Kamo family. At that time, he still had a human name named "Kamo". Ishikuma did not show much difference from humans during his childhood. It was nothing more than strength.
Both his body shape and size are much larger than those of his peers.
But after reaching adulthood, the stone bear finally showed its ghost characteristics and grew ghost horns and fangs.
Naturally, the human world cannot allow the existence of such a half-human, half-ghost alien, so Ishikuma was secretly exiled by the Kamo family and eventually moved to Dajiangshan.
Humans living under the sun cannot tolerate Stone Bear, but the ghosts in the night accept him.
In addition, although Stone Bear is half ghost, he does not like killing. His childhood experience in the human world has given him a completely different nature from other ghosts. Stone Bear loves human skills, especially in the field of construction.
The Ghost Queen of Dajiangshan, who became the "Xiong Zi Generation", took "Shi" as her ghost name, which also contains this meaning.
The Dajiangshan City that Kamiya sees now was built by Shi Xiong and the ghosts.
Probably because of this, and because of his special identity and experience, Shi Xiong has his own deeper insights into Xing Xiong's confusion about "the world being roughly divided into two."
He believes that killing and robbing are not the instinct of ghosts, but the influence of the environment.
Some humans have evil intentions, and some ghosts have good intentions.
The existence of Star Bear Doji, who has always lived in the ghost camp but does not like to do evil, has strengthened Stone Bear's own belief.
So the two naturally became friends.
They did not agree with the idea of the leader Shuten Doji at that time to rely on strength to develop and fight against humans with all his strength. If the country was allowed to continue to plunder, regardless of victory or defeat, the ghost clan would always be the evil side in everyone's hearts.
It will become more difficult to guide everyone to do good in the ghost camp.
A new value concept should be given to Da Jiangshan. Ghosts are also good. This is the first step to announce to the world. In this case, one day those who want to be good, whether they are humans or ghosts, may follow Da Jiangshan.
There are beings like Hoshikuma in the ghost clan, and there are onmyojis like the Kamo family in the human world.
The Kamo family knew that Ishikuma Doji was a half-ghost, but they still raised him. Even after he revealed his ghost characteristics, they did not execute him, but secretly banished him. Because of this, Ishikuma never resented him.
than his human blood relatives.
That's it, humans and ghosts don't necessarily have to fight to the death.
When values gradually change, more people or ghosts who share the same ideas as the Kamo family and Hoshikuma will surely appear.
At that time, will there be a world with opposite values such as "human beings are evil and ghosts are good"?
Or, what about a world where humans and ghosts are equal?
But no matter which side it is, the ghost tribe will never continue to be considered the evil side.
As a result, Shixiong began to be active in both the human and ghost camps as the "Emissary of the Great River and Mountains".
Not for anything else, even if it was just because there was blood flowing from both sides of his body.
Shuten Doji had always known about Shi Xiong's actions and his overly idealistic ideals at that time, but Dajiangshan Ghost King just scoffed and did not stop him, allowing Shi Xiong to do what he did.
And the final trend of facts seems to confirm that Shutun is the right one.
The gap in concepts is an insurmountable gap. With a gentle attitude, even if Shi Xiongdongzi spends his supposedly long life, it may not be able to be bridged.
While Shikuma Doji is running in vain for the ideal of "peace between humans and ghosts," the endless fight between humans and ghosts continues.
Finally, Dajiangshan ushered in the crusade of human Genji.
The Yuan family’s expeditionary force was not brought by Shi Xiong and had nothing to do with him.
But just as Shuten expected, they would come sooner or later.
Because the great country is here.
The result of the final battle between humans and ghosts is now known. There may be some details and secrets that are not mentioned in the legend, but the ending is like this. Minamoto Yorimitsu almost destroyed the entire country.
And because the real world and the ordinary world were completely separated in the subsequent period, Dajiangshan City retreated into the ordinary world, and the remaining ghost clan was able to survive.
They slept and rested for a long time, and it was only today that the surviving Golden Bears and Star Bears revived this famous monster force in the other world.
The story in Dajiangshan is probably like this.
…
After listening to Xingxiong's story, Kamiya pondered for a moment, then spilled the wine in the wine cup on the ground: "Shixiong Boy is indeed a very strange ghost clan."
Consider it a tribute.
It is also a reasonable way to avoid drinking.
"Hmm..." Xingxiong raised the wine bowl in his hand, paused for a while, and then drank heavily.
"So is it because of what happened in the past that Dajiangshan now chooses to expand in the eternal world?"
Xing Xiong nodded, then shook his head:
"Absolutely. The ghost clan cannot be without power... In short, this is what Golden Bear thinks. Although the two worlds of humans and ghosts are separated for some reason, no one can guarantee whether the two worlds will be reunited in the future.
There will be a day of complete integration. If that time comes, humans and ghosts will inevitably start a war again. Not for any other reason, just because the great country is here."
"So the country needs strength. Golden Bear feels that if we can command the entire eternal world and gather the scattered ghost power, we can defeat the humans in another world with force."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I can't refute him, sometimes... I think he is right."
Kamiya was noncommittal about Xingxiong's words.
In fact, he knows very well that the power of exorcism in modern human society is far less powerful than the Heian Period in the era of symbiosis between humans and ghosts.
During the Heian period, there were the Tsuchimikado family of Abe Seimei, the Kamo family, the Genji family who were samurai but could remove spirits, and then there were wild onmyojis like Ashiya Michitsu who were not from aristocratic families. Now it seems that guessing these characters
The outstanding ones all have the ability to at least defeat the Aragami.
In modern society, exorcists who can independently handle C-level and above ghost stories are already the elite in the countermeasures room.
However, it cannot be said with absolute certainty.
After the separation of the real world and the eternal world, the human world lit up the technology tree and embarked on a development path that was completely different from before.
You must know that bullets engraved with Buddha's Dharma can remove spirits. If the table could be turned over to directly add Dharma to nuclear bombs, the lethality to ghosts and gods would be terrifying, right?
"Thinking about it this way, he seems pretty strong in this world?"
Kamiyakawa complained silently in his heart.
Although he thought so in his heart, he said in his mouth: "So, Star Bear, you want to see it, right?"
"what did you see?"
The one-horned female ghost was more drunk than usual at this moment, and her eyes were completely blurred.
"Those weird stories with good intentions can live in peace in the world."
"Yes. But, is there such a world?"
"I will." Kamiya nodded.
This may be the responsibility of the co-master of ghosts and gods.
Of course, his ideals are not so grand. When it comes to letting the Kaidans live in peace, the only figures that come to mind are the shikigami, the Kaitans in the family, the craftsmen of Takamagahara, and the everlasting Crab Princess, Isohime, and Usamaru.
Just waiting for someone.
None of these strange stories distrusted him and followed him.
Initially, Kamiyagawa may not have any clear reason for wanting to become the co-master of ghosts and gods.
Pursuing power and wanting to see a completely different side of the world is probably nothing more than that. It is not an exaggeration to say that the interests thrown out by "Kaitan Monogatari" pushed me to climb towards the throne of God.
But now, it is different from the beginning.
"You are still as arrogant. You are not even the king of the world, but you can swear such beautiful words." Xing Xiong smiled and shook his head, with a few strands of soft and bright blond hair shaking in her ears, "But...
…But it’s hard to be annoying. Inujiro, you are very similar to Ishikuma.”
"Just think you are complimenting me. Speaking of which, is this what you are worried about?"
Kamiyagawa felt that Xingxiong's temperament today was very different from usual.
It probably wasn't simply looking back on the past that made her become so sentimental.
It always felt like something happened that affected her emotions.
"That's right, but there are others..."
"others?"
After Kamiya finished speaking, he didn't have time to ask in detail.
There was a sound from the gate of the mansion, the familiar sound of rattling iron chains.
Listen to this sound, it's the Golden Bear Boy.
Because I was drinking with Xingxiong in the yard, the door was not closed and was completely open.
The two-horned male ghost outside strode straight in, followed by a relatively petite unfamiliar figure beside his tall body.
Dressed in white clothes, with a bright red silk strip wrapped around her waist, and a bunch of bells hanging from her waist, ringing with each step.
The one who followed the golden bear seemed to be a female ghost. She had pink lips and bright eyes, and her feminine, delicate and beautiful face had a natural charm.
The strange female ghost wore a white cloak with a hood attached to it, covering her head. The hood completely covered her ghost horns, only showing the bulges of two pieces of fabric. Long white hair hung from them.
, tied loosely, the strands of hair reflecting the soft moonlight.
Seeing the golden bear and the female ghost in the white cloak come in, Star Bear Boy raised his hand and rubbed his temples, sighed, and stood up from the ground.
"Dog demon." Jin Xiong's attitude towards Kamiya was still bad, "You are a ghost general in the great rivers and mountains. Although you have only joined the army not long ago, you were not allowed to participate in the expansion and crusade campaign, but you have the merits of clearing the palace and resurrecting the souls of ghosts.
…”
Conquering and expanding towards the surrounding areas seems to be a fat vacancy in the country.
After all, you can plunder loot and ghost slaves at will.
Jin Xiong did not arrange such an errand for Kamiya. He would only think of Kamiya when dealing with strange and fruitless tasks inside the palace like before.
Kamiya didn't speak. He sat on the ground and looked at the golden bear. Of course, he was mostly observing the timid female ghost in the white cloak.
Although she really showed "timidity", the seemingly natural charm on her face still existed, but it was even more obvious and made me feel a little pity for her.
"So according to the usual practice, you should be assigned a female ghost to serve you." Golden Xiong said this, subconsciously turning to look at the white cloaked female ghost beside him, his eyes flashed with a trace of uncertainty, "This is captured from Wakasa Bay
The slave you brought back, Tribulus Ji, will serve you from now on."
"ah……"
Kamiya opened his mouth weakly.
Isn't it?
Do you really want to send me a beautiful female ghost?
Look at the female ghost named Tribulus Ji.
Her feet were wearing white foot socks. The delicate and elastic stocking material tightly wrapped the instep and arch of the foot, and the flexible toes were exposed in the front.
The feet that were supposed to be nimble were bound by a pair of heavy shackles from the ankles.
His hands were tightly cuffed by a pair of black metal shackles, and it seemed that he could only perform some relatively simple activities.
Being controlled in such a humiliating way, maybe she really is a slave?
But Kamiyagawa felt that things were not that simple.
The attitudes of Star Bear Doji and Golden Bear Doji are very strange now. Although they have done some cover-up, you can still feel the weird atmosphere.
Xingxiong, who had been drinking just now, suddenly stood up. This was indeed an action that didn't require much attention. But based on Kamiya's understanding of her, if it was just a visit from the Golden Bear, according to her character, she would have gone her own way without looking back.
That's right.
There is also the domineering Golden Bear. His attitude towards Tribulus Ji is simply not like facing a slave whose life or death depends on his own thoughts.
In addition, Kamiya also noticed that Tribulus Ji's state was also very weird.
He actually couldn't see through the general strength of this female ghost, and just had a vague feeling that "she's probably quite weak."
But if it was really a weak monster, with Kamiyagawa's perceptual ability, he should be able to tell at a glance how much it weighed.
"Those shackles seem to have covered up her original aura."
Kamiyagawa's attention shifted to Tribulus Ji's hand.
Her arms were covered by the wide and white cuffs of her cloak, and only the exposed wrists were firmly fixed by ferocious and exaggerated shackles.
The left hand is white and soft, with slender fingers. But the right hand is covered with bandages, and no exposed skin can be seen at all. The tightly wrapped bandages extend into her cuffs.
"This Tribulus Princess that I have never seen before, could it be Ibaraki Douji?"
Kamiyagawa's expression changes very wonderfully, showing surprise, astonishment and speechlessness alternately, but fortunately the [Oni's Leather Clothes] can cover up his facial features.
"Inujiro...sir."
Tribulus Ji spoke softly and saluted to Kamiya with some fear. The heavy and humiliating shackles on her body made her movements look very slow and clumsy.
Kamiyagawa:……
In my impression, the meaning of the word "Ibaraki" itself has the meaning of thorns and thorns.
