The three great demons of Fenglinzhou actually have extremely close ties with the royal family of Fenglinzhou.
Strictly speaking, the three great demons all died at the hands of the imperial family. The "barbarian" conquered by the general conquered the barbarians was Otakemaru. Oezan was killed by the royal family branch Genji, needless to say, Tamamo Mae.
In addition, the places where the three demons are located are also related to the royal family.
Mount Suzuka, where Otake Maru is located, is located within the territory of Ise. The Saio of Ise Jingu Shrine is a member of the royal family, not to mention the inextricable connection between the shrine and the royal family. Oesan is under the jurisdiction of Heikyo. Tamamo
Before that, he directly blended into the Pingjing Palace.
In other words, only those great demons that are considered enemies by the royal family will be listed among the three great demons.
As we all know, there are usually four of the three great demons, just like the Taoist Three Shows who often mix in an unknown person.
The fourth great demon is called "Daitengu".
There are also legends about Tengu in the Central Plains. The famous "Tengu eats the moon". "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that it resembles a small fox dog. The Tengu in Fenglinzhou is different. It has a tall red nose, holds a round fan, is tall and has wings.
, is a bit like a Western angel, wearing a military commander's armor, a samurai sword on his waist, traditional high-heeled wooden clogs, and carrying a raincoat with him to hide himself at any time, with an arrogant attitude.
Among them, the most famous "Tengu" is called the "Great Tengu". After a certain Fenglinzhou emperor was defeated, he issued a curse: "I wish to become a great demon king and disturb the world. I will return to the evil path with the five Mahayana sutras."
The people are the emperor, and the emperor is the people." From then on, he did not eat or cultivate, and died in anger, like a yaksha. His resentful spirit turned into a heavenly dog, and continued to cause chaos in the human world, which is the "big tengu".
However, unlike the uniqueness of other great demons, the Great Tengu is not unique. Instead, it is passed down from generation to generation. There are eight Great Tengu in total.
At this time, Dajiangshan was fighting against the royal army.
This is the second time the two sides have fought each other after hundreds of years, and the leading generals of the imperial family are still from Genji.
Now the leader of Oeyama, Ibaraki Doji, is standing on a mountain peak overlooking the battlefield below.
Different from many ferocious-looking ghosts, this big demon is not ugly, but very handsome, and can even be said to be male and female. It is no wonder that he has entered Pingjing twice disguised as a woman. There are even rumors that he or she is
The wife of the Ghost King. If you think she is a man, call her Ibaraki Doji. If you think she is a woman, call her the Ghost of Rashomon.
The ghost soldiers in Dajiangshan are retreating steadily.
However, the ghost of Rashomon did not panic. He used an ancient saying from the Central Plains and said: "The mountain is nine feet high, but the effort falls short. If you draw water from a bamboo basket, it will be in vain."
As soon as the words fell, the sky above the mountains and rivers suddenly darkened.
When the ghost of Rashomon looked up, he saw a jet-black feather covering the sky.
Wings, like dark clouds covering the sky.
Then the wings suddenly retracted, and a figure swept towards the great rivers and mountains.
As he got closer, he could clearly see that this figure was wearing samurai armor and holding a large fan in his hand.
It is the eighth "Great Tengu"!
The Ghost of Rashomon is at best on par with Suzuka Gozen. Without the "Sanmei Sword", he is no match for the Daitengu.
At this moment, another figure suddenly stood up from behind the Ghost of Rashomon, with his upper body naked, his hair disheveled, a handsome face, and roaring to the sky. Although there were still traces of breakage on his neck, his momentum was no less impressive.
Big Tengu.
It is none other than the master of Dajiangshan, Shuten Tongzi.
The Great Tengu landed with a crash, the earth shook, and then its figure continued to grow, reaching a height of more than ten feet. The wings behind it spread out like a huge curtain, and its feathers were like steel.
Not to be outdone, Shuten Doji also grew in stature and transformed into a giant, confronting the Daitengu. He had a tiger's back, a wasp's waist, and mantis legs, which was extremely powerful.
The Great Tengu waved the fan in his hand to summon a storm.
Shuten Doji opened his mouth and spat out billowing flames.
The wind and fire turned into a huge flame tornado, rising into the sky. Countless fire rains fell one after another, and countless ghost soldiers and royal soldiers died.
Shuten-doji punched the big tengu, creating a huge force.
The Great Tengu's wings were folded together, like a steel curtain, blocking the punch.
Then the Great Tengu flapped its wings again, and countless jet-black feathers shot out, falling on Shuten Doji's body, leaving countless small wounds, from which blood oozed, turning Shuten Doji into a bloody man.
Shuten Doji took out a sake gourd from somewhere, filled it with wine, inhaled it into his mouth, and when he spit it out, it turned into billowing mist.
This mist is very strange and corrodes everything. It not only corrodes the steel wings of the Great Tengu, but also corrodes everything wherever it goes, no matter the wind, forest or volcanoes.
Shuten Doji then opened his mouth and inhaled again, inhaling the wine mist that had corroded all things into his belly, and the injuries on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the alcohol mist returned, Shuten Doji laughed inexplicably, and red flames burned all over his body.
The Great Tengu waved the fan in his hand, creating strong winds and blowing away the incoming wine mist.
Then the two collided again
Hit together.
The earth is trembling.
The flames on Shuten-dōji's body spread to the Daitengu, and the Daitengu bit Shuten-dōji on the neck.
It was as if the steel feathers were melted by the flames, separated from the wings, and continued to fall, as if a rain of fire had fallen. The Great Tengu tore a piece of flesh and blood from Shuten Doji's neck, which was horrific.
Suddenly, the wind roared, the sky filled with fire and rain, the ice and snow condensed, and the flying clouds fell. Finally, they all turned into wine mist, which was inhaled by the drunken boy and turned into red flames on his body.
More wine mist continued to spread out, filling the mountains like clouds, and the scene of the two people fighting could not even be seen. ??
Another moment later, a strong wind suddenly blew by, almost blowing people up and uprooting trees. Finally, the diffuse wine mist was completely blown away, and they saw that the two of them had rolled down into the valley, and the big tengu was trapped.
Pressed on the ground, Shuten Doji was riding on him, and his fists kept landing on the Otengu's face.
At this time, Shuten Doji's body was missing a lot of flesh and blood, and was full of pits. In some places, his internal organs could even be seen squirming, and they were healing at an extremely slow speed. The Great Tengu was covered with scorch marks, and many parts of its wings were almost bald.
The melee combat between the big monsters is so simple and unpretentious.
In fact, the Otengu underestimated the enemy. Although both of them are great demons and have no specific inheritance, they rely more on their natural magical powers. However, the Otengu and Tamamo no Mae prefer to use spells, while Shuten Douji and Otakemaru prefer
For close combat, the Daitengu chose to fight Shuten Doji in close combat, just like Zhang Yuelu insisted on arm wrestling with Qi Xuansu to see who was stronger, or Qi Xuansu insisted on playing Xuansheng card with Yao Pei, purely using his own short attack.
The strength of the enemy.
Naturally, the Daitengu also understood this truth, and his figure suddenly shrank, returning to the size of a normal human. He broke away from Shuten Doji's suppression and flew into the sky again.
Shuten Doji also returned to his original size, looking up to the sky and roaring, spitting out countless mist of wine from his mouth, causing the entire country to be covered with a layer of strange mist. The dark red sky and dark red earth seemed to be a virgin.
Blood is like blood-red wine.
The Great Tengu did not dare to be exposed to this strange mist anymore, its wings roared, and the huge storm was about to come to an end. For a time, the rain was silvery and misty, and the dark clouds continued to extend to all directions, making the sky half-light and half-dark.
Wind is the head of rain, and Feng is the master of rain, calling for wind and rain. The two words "wind and rain" always go hand in hand.
In the blink of an eye, the situation changed, and the strong winds formed one cyclone after another, gradually converging in one place, forming tornado pillars, connecting the sky, and turning the mountains into mountains.
Stones and trees were swept into the air, like uprooting mountains.
Shuten Doji was in it, his hair and trousers were rustling in the strong wind. He inhaled sharply, and saw a bright light suddenly lit up at his throat, and then the light became stronger, and then continued to rise.
The Great Tengu struck a fan with a wave of his hand, condensed the wind into a blade, and turned into countless wind knives, shooting towards Shuten Doji.
The Shuten boy stood up from the ground, tore apart the wind pillar, roared loudly, and billowing waves of sound surged out.
The wind knife collided with it, and the golden wind overflowed, and the sound of countless gold and iron clashing sounded continuously, as if there was an endless battle on the battlefield.
The ghost of Rashomon just watched the battle from a distance.
Not long ago, the envoy of the Domen brought the head of Shuten Doji and put forward a condition - Suzuka Mountain would become the front station for the Domen to attack Ise Shrine, and Oeyama would become the outpost to guard Heikyo.
To put it simply, it is to guard Pingjing on behalf of Daomen and prevent the royal family from rushing to aid Ise.
It just so happens that Dajiangshan is located on the only way.
In order to show sincerity, Daomen directly returned Shutondongzi's head to Dajiangshan, or to put it another way, Daomen believed that without Shutundongzi, Dajiangshan could not stop the royal family at all, and Daomen must return the head to Dajiangshan first.
Of course, Da Jiangshan can also choose not to fulfill the agreement, accept his head, and stay out of the matter. Not to mention the hatred between Da Jiangshan and the royal family, this move will undoubtedly anger Dao Sect. What Dao Sect hates most is betrayal. You don't have to accept this condition, just make it clear in advance.
That is, you can maintain neutrality, but you cannot deceive the Taoist sect. The Taoist sect will definitely retaliate. Unless Dajiangshan believes that his breach of contract can completely defeat the Taoist sect, even if the Shuten boy is reborn, he may not have such great ability.
Since Dao Sect has a greater chance of winning, Da Jiangshan still decides to fulfill the agreement.
As for Shuten Doji, the nominal lord of the country, he was even less likely to object. After his resurrection, he only had thoughts of revenge and could hardly communicate normally.
As Tamamo Mae said, all resurrections have a price.
Tamamo-mae's price was a huge loss of cultivation, while Shuten-doji's price was the loss of most of his sanity, and he couldn't leave the realm of Oeyama, otherwise he would suffer a catastrophe. Fortunately, he still remembered the ghost of Rashomon and was willing to obey him.
The words of the ghost of Shengmen did not directly start a killing spree in the country.
Over the East China Sea at the same time.
Master Qingwei continued: "The situation of Jiutan Boy reminds me of Yaoyao. Daomen is very interested in it. I think Jinque will agree to further investigation, and I hope Mrs. Yu can help me."
