Chapter 2920 Nine White Foxes, Yamata No Orochi
"I didn't expect that after a thousand years, someone would still remember me!"
The man retracted his gaze from looking up at the moon, and turned to look at Zhang Yunqing, with a faint smile on his face, like an aristocratic prince, extremely elegant, he slowly walked to Zhang Yunqing, stood five steps in front of him, and spoke.
"I am Abe Seimei!"
"Chinese, what's your name?"
Zhang Yunqing had such an expression on his face. Abe Seimei's cultivation was not weaker than Zhang Jingqing from Longhu Mountain. No wonder he could become a master of Fuso Onmyoji.
Abe Seimei is the most famous Onmyoji in ancient Fuso. In many legends and book records, as long as the term "Onmyoji" is mentioned, the first thing people think of is that figure who shines like a morning star, Abe Seimei, and It is not an exaggeration to describe the numerous history and legends related to him as he is a master of Fuso Onmyoji.
Abe Seimei is the son of Masukai Abe, a lower-ranking nobleman under the daifu-guan, and Kuzuha the white fox. Because he is the son of the white fox, the world calls him "son of the white fox". He was born in Abeno, Settsu Province. Abe Seimei studied Onmyodo under Onmyoji Kamo Tadayuki and Hokenori and his son. He was appreciated by Baoxian and taught the way of astronomy. Although Abe Seimei came to prominence late, his divination skills and onmyoji were recognized by the aristocratic society, and he was appointed as a doctor of astronomy.
Abe Seimei also served as Dr. Sakyo Gon, the Seimei Ukiyo-e Granary Beitou, Harimamori and other important positions painted in the Edo period. Due to the trust of Fujiwara Michizhang and his strong work ability, his status rose all the way to from The four subordinates were awarded the "Hosei-in", which became an insurmountable peak of Onmyoji in the Heian era. In addition, Seimei's two sons, Yoshichō and Yoshihira, were also appointed as Doctors of Astronomy and Onnyōsuke, and were deputy ministers of the Onnyōryō. In Seimei's generation, the Abe family also became an Onmyōdo family comparable to the Kamo clan of their master, Tadayuki.
In the Edo period, there was even a famous saying: I don’t know Minamoto Yoshitsune, but I know Seimei Kō. Therefore, Abe Seimei was called "Seimei Kō".
"Maoshan Zhang Yunqing!"
Zhang Yunqing opened his mouth to answer, looking at Abe Seimei with clear and bright eyes. A clear light flashed in his eyes. The appearance of Abe Seimei he saw was very different from Abe Domoto. They were young and handsome, with thick eyebrows and a fox-like appearance. Eyes, fair complexion, full of fatal attraction.
"It is rumored that Abe Seimei is the son of a white fox. Now it seems that the rumors are true. You are indeed half human and half demon. No wonder you can practice onmyoji to such a level!"
Generally speaking, the offspring born from the union of fairies and humans have amazing qualifications and are very suitable for cultivation. However, the union of humans and monsters is taboo and is not allowed by the laws of heaven and earth. Only a very small probability can produce offspring.
When Abe Seimei heard this, his expression changed slightly. This matter was his taboo. Being half human and half demon meant that he had the blood of an animal flowing in his body. This was no different from scolding him in person.
"People from China, this is Fusang. You are a little too presumptuous. There are some things you should not say casually. You will bring disaster to yourself!"
Abe Seimei narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a ray of cold light, and said meaningfully.
"oh?"
Zhang Yunqing had a playful expression on his face, fixed his eyes on Abe Seimei's face, and said nonchalantly.
"I just said you are half-human and half-demon, so what?"
"I just want to see what kind of disaster it will cause!"
Zhang Yunqing responded tit-for-tat without any politeness, his eyes also narrowed, and his whole body exuded a cold air as he continued to provoke Abe Seimei.
"snort!"
Abe Seimei snorted angrily, and a fan suddenly appeared in his hand. He opened it with a swish, and his body rose and stood in the air, like a god, looking down at Zhang Yunqing below, and said coldly.
"Since you want to see it, I will help you and let you know that there are some things you cannot say and there are some people you cannot afford to offend!"
Zhang Yunqing looked up at Abe Seimei, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and let out a sneer. His body gradually rose, and he was on the same level as Abe Seimei, standing opposite him. A powerful energy arose from his body, pressing towards Abe Seimei.
"This No. 1 Onmyoji of Fuso doesn't really think that he is invincible. However, he is just in the realm of refining energy and transforming into gods. He dares to shout in front of him. He is really looking at the sky from a well and is arrogant."
Abe Seimei felt as if a huge mountain had fallen on his back. His body sank and fell towards the ground. He was a little embarrassed. He quickly formed a seal and performed the Onmyoji. A blue light shone and enveloped him, and then he stabilized. The figure slowly flew up.
"It seems that Abe Seimei is not as powerful as the legend. You can't bear it before I take action. It's really disappointing!"
Zhang Yunqing showed a disappointed expression, with a bit of disdain in his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said.
Abe Seimei's face was livid. As the number one onmyoji of Zongheng Fuso, he had never suffered such a loss. He waved his folding fan, and nine flames were generated, turning into nine fire dragons, dyeing the night sky red, majestic and sacred, and let out a dragon sound. The sound of chanting, loud and loud, flew towards Zhang Yunqing.
"You want to give me a Taoist comparison, you are really overestimating your abilities!"
Seeing this, Zhang Yunqing let out a chuckle and snapped his fingers with his right hand. Red lotuses appeared in the sky. The entire night sky turned into a lotus pond. The red lotus bloomed and the flames burned the sky. In an instant, the nine fire dragons were swallowed up, and even a trace of them was swallowed up. Not even a ripple was made.
Abe Seimei's expression changed, and his face showed a solemn look. His fox eyes narrowed into a slit, and cunning and viciousness emerged in them. He put away the fan and stretched out his ten fingers. These hands did not look like men's hands. They were slender and white, with delicate jade fingers, like the tender hands of a girl. The fingers were flexible and formed a series of magic seals in the void.
A figure appeared behind Abe Seimei. This was a woman in white clothes, with snow-white skin, beautiful appearance, graceful and gentle. Her white hair fluttered slightly behind her, and she exuded a cold white breath. The cold air spread quickly, and the ground condensed into frost, and the sky fell into snow. The snowflakes were as big as goose feathers, extinguishing the fire of the Abe family.
This is the snow woman, a kind of monster that appeared in the legend. "The snow woman goes out, and returns home early" is an old saying widely circulated among the people of Fusang.
The Snow Girl is good at making ice and snow. She is also known as Snow Princess. She lives in the deep mountains. She looks like a human and has a stunningly beautiful appearance. She often attracts men who enter the snow mountains to kiss him in a deserted place. While kissing, she completely freezes him and takes his soul to eat.
Zhang Yunqing stared at the Snow Girl who appeared, without any expression on his face. He held the peach wood sword in his hand. A clear light shone on the sword body. The road above the sky fell and encountered the thunder, which directly struck the Snow Girl.
The silver light shone, and the white body of the Snow Girl gradually became crystal clear, like melting snowflakes, turning into transparent water and falling on the ground. This famous monster in Fusang was killed by Zhang Yunqing.
"Abe Haruaki, if this is all you have, I am not interested in playing with you!"
Zhang Yunqing showed an impatient expression. These Onmyojis only have this little trick to go back and forth. It is really boring. He came to Fusang this time for a mission and didn't want to delay any longer.
Abe Haruaki showed a surprised expression on his face. He knew the strength of the Snow Girl. She was definitely a powerful monster, but she was vulnerable in front of Zhang Yunqing. He had a bad premonition in his heart, so he didn't dare to be careless. The spiritual power in his body was running wildly, and he finally used his most powerful means.
"Roar!"
Abe Haruaki opened his mouth and roared. His face began to change. His chin became pointed, and the teeth in his mouth protruded, jagged, sharp and ferocious. His eyes also began to become narrow and long, flashing green light. White hair appeared on his face, fine and smooth. His body was bent, his limbs were lying on the ground, and the hair jumped out. His nails grew wildly, sharp and shining. There were nine tails swinging behind him, bringing waves of air, which was very terrifying.
Abe Haruaki turned into a huge nine-tailed fox, revealing the body of a big monster. This was really beyond Zhang Yunqing's expectations.
"I didn't expect you to really turn into a beast!"
Zhang Yunqing showed a surprised expression, carefully looking at Abe Haruaki's appearance at this time. He was about ten feet tall, with white fur, a fierce expression, green light flashing in his eyes, cruel and cunning, and looked no different from ordinary monsters.
"But a beast is a beast. You turned into a beast instead of being a good person. Although it's a bit unexpected, it can't change your ending!"
Zhang Yunqing's figure rose again and flew into the sky, looking down at the huge fox's true body in the air. The peach wood sword in his hand stabbed upwards, and the lightning flashed and crackled. Several lightning bolts fell from the sky and landed on the tip of the peach wood sword. They gathered and compressed into a dazzling ball of light. The scorching high temperature distorted the surrounding space, and white smoke rose up. The lightning ignited the oxygen in the air.
"Today I will send you to the west completely!"
Zhang Yun swung the peach wood sword, and the ball of light rolled. The void along the way was distorted, and the air was ignited. Endless flames engulfed it, with a terrifying momentum and incomparable horror.
The nine tails behind Abe Haruaki suddenly grew longer, like nine whips, lashing at the light ball frantically.
"Zizizizizi!"
The light ball exploded, and endless electric light surged out, covering the entire sky. Abe Haruaki's fur was ignited, and his flesh and blood withered, like charcoal. Even if he burst out all the spiritual power in his body, he still couldn't resist Zhang Yunqing's attack.
"Boom!"
The huge body smashed on the ground, the house collapsed, the dust flew, the sky and the earth were hazy, and the vision was blocked.
Zhang Yunqing did not stop attacking, the peach wood sword flew out, the stream of light passed through the void, the sword energy whistled, the cold light was sharp, and it gently circled around the necks of the nine white foxes, and a huge fox head flew up, and the body was broken, like floating catkins, full of poignant beauty.
Zhang Yunqing stretched out his hand and waved, and the peach wood sword flew back to his hand. He looked at the fox head that fell to the ground, his eyes widened, full of disbelief, sneered, and flew away.
"The great Onmyoji Abe Haruaki, who is half human and half demon, is just like this!"
Above the Kamo family, Zhang Yunqing stood in the air, holding a peach wood sword in his hand, overlooking this powerful Onmyoji family, his face full of coldness, like a ruthless god, about to bring down divine punishment and wipe this family out of the long river of history.
Zhang Yunqing shouted, and golden light appeared under his feet. A Bagua Yin and Yang unfolded and continued to expand. The Kamo family was covered below. The peach wood sword in his hand swung, the sky and the earth changed color, the wind and clouds gathered, the lightning flashed, and the roar continued.
"Urgent!"
Countless silver snakes flew out from the dark clouds, densely covering the sky, silver light filled the entire world, thunder shook the sky, lightning fell from the sky, and struck the buildings below.
"Boom boom boom!"
Houses collapsed, thunder and fire raged, flames soared into the sky, countless wails and screams were heard, hundreds of figures struggled desperately in the ruthless thunder and fire, and gradually there was no movement. The earth seemed to be plowed by thunder and lightning, and it was pitch black. Black smoke covered the sky, causing countless people to exclaim.
"The gods were angry and sent down heavenly punishment, killing all the people of the Kamo family!"
Some ignorant Fusang people were so frightened that their faces turned blue, their bodies trembled, and they prostrated themselves on the ground, constantly kowtowing, and were extremely pious.
Zhang Yunqing ignored these ignorant people, narrowed his eyes slightly, and watched the movement below. Seeing that several strong men of the Kamo family were still alive and resisting, he snorted coldly, and dozens of thunder and lightning fell again, instantly splitting these Onmyoji into charcoal.
Tonight, the two major Onmyoji families in Fusang became history and disappeared in the long river of time. They could no longer stir up trouble and rob the magic books of the Taoists in Shenzhou.
"The Onmyoji have all been dealt with, and there are still Koga and Iga ninjas to be cleaned up!"
Zhang Yunqing disappeared into the night, leaving only the ground full of wounds and corpses.
Ninjas mainly exist in the form of groups, distributed throughout Fuso. The most famous schools are the Iga school in Mie Prefecture and the Koga school in Shiga Prefecture.
The Iga school has a clear hierarchy, divided into jonin, chuunin, and genin. The three jonin families, the Hattori family, the Momochi family, and the Fujibayashi family, have absolute say. The jonin is responsible for deployment and command, the chuunin is responsible for on-site supervision, and the genin is responsible for on-site execution. In addition, ninjas cannot leave the defection organization without reason. If they violate this, they will be identified as "traitorous ninjas" and will be pursued and purged by the organization.
Iga-ryu ninjas are good at spell seals, such as the representative nine-character bodyguard method, where all soldiers and fighters are in formation in front. It comes from the "Liujia Secret Mantra" of Shenzhou Taoism. In addition to spell seals, Iga-ryu is actually best at fire escape, which is also closely related to regional specialties. Because the Iga region is rich in algae and camphor, the raw materials for gunpowder production, in addition to the smoke bombs often used by ninjas, there are also fire arrows, wolf smoke, and muskets.
The Koga-ryu organization is a community-autonomous organization, with basically equal status for members, and the principle of minority obeys majority is adopted when making decisions. In addition, unlike Iga-ryu, Koga-ryu is relatively open-minded and allows the existence of lay disciples of outside practitioners. After learning literary and martial arts in Koga, they can give up the path of Koga ninjas and choose to go down the mountain as free ninjas.
Koga-ryu ninjas usually farm or trade and are proficient in pharmacology. When performing tasks, they can use medicine to save people or poison to kill people. In addition, they are also good at using mastery of illusions.
It was precisely because the ninja group was not as concentrated as the Yin-Yang Master that Zhang Yunqing had no choice but to travel all over Fuso and eliminate all the ninjas who had practiced ninjutsu. It took a full month to complete the purpose of this trip to Fuso.
Zhang Yunqing pulled the peach wood sword from the corpse. The ground was covered with dozens of ninja corpses. The blood dyed the earth red. A strong bloody smell filled the air, making Zhang Yunqing frown slightly, as if he could not bear the unpleasant smell.
"Finally, all these rats who like to hide in the dark have been cleaned up!"
Zhang Yunqing shook the peach wood sword in his hand, and a few drops of blood flew out. He turned his head and looked at a mountain. It was the sacred mountain of Fuso. He sensed a breath in this mountain, which was very interesting. Maybe he could give Fuso a surprise.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yunqing flew into the void and headed towards Mount Fuji in the distance.
Mount Fuji is regarded as a sacred mountain by the Fuso people because it is a very rare perfectly symmetrical conical mountain in the world, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. There are five freshwater lakes around the mountain, so Mount Fuji looks very beautiful and has become the symbol and logo of Fuso together with cherry blossoms.
This sacred mountain of Fuso is an active volcano and has experienced 17 very spectacular volcanic eruptions. The most recent volcanic eruption occurred 200 years ago, which is also known as the Kyoho eruption. It brought great damage to the surrounding land and residents.
Zhang Yunqing stood at the crater of Mount Fuji, his mind moved slightly, and he merged into the void, sensing a strong breath inside the volcano, violent and cold. This is a demon king with a huge body, eight heads and eight tails, a dragon-like head, eyes as bright red as red sour sauce, moss and trees on his back, and a festering abdomen, bleeding, and eight-colored clouds floating above his head. He lurked deep in the magma and fell into a deep sleep.
"Is this Yamata no Orochi? It's quite powerful, but it seems to have been severely injured. So it's absorbing the poisonous fire from the earth's lungs to recover from its injuries. I can help you. I'm sure you'll give Fuso a big surprise when you wake up!"
A future scene emerged in Zhang Yunqing's mind. The volcano erupted, the magma gushed, and the gorgeous fireworks bloomed over the Fuso Peninsula, bringing destruction and death. The Yamata no Orochi's crazy rampage caused heavy damage to Fuso.
"What a pity, it was destroyed by the mushroom cloud in the end!"
Zhang Yunqing shook his head with some dissatisfaction, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He pinched the magic formula in his hand, and the fire between heaven and earth rushed to the inside of the volcano and merged into the body of Yamata no Orochi. The wound on its abdomen gradually began to heal, the flesh and blood kept wriggling, the granulation tissues connected to each other, and the blood no longer flowed out.
An hour later, Zhang Yunqing stopped his movements, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile.
"Almost. It's still in a weak state. It will probably wake up in another eight years. By then, the fireworks will surely bloom, and it will be as gorgeous as cherry blossoms!"
"This trip is complete, and it's time to go back!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yunqing's figure disappeared from the spot, turned into a stream of light, and went towards the Shenzhou mainland.
Renjia Town, now Shenzhou is in turmoil, countless people are displaced, and this peaceful and tranquil town has also been affected. The faces of the town residents have become more worried and fearful, and they are very worried that the war will spread to the town.
In the charity cemetery, Zhang Yunqing looked at the coffins parked in the courtyard, and his face showed a bit of solemnity. He said to Lin Fengjiao beside him.
"Brother, leave Shenzhou mainland and go to Hong Kong Island!"
