Holy Bone

Chapter 929 Niigata (xì) Soil Spider King Nagano Crow Tengu

More than 2000 sailors were left to guard the fleet, and more than [-] soldiers finally landed on the island.

Among them was the firearm battalion brought out by the Third Prince and the others.

We even saw six Vulcan cannons being disassembled and reassembled on the beach.

There are thousands of people's heads covering the mountains and plains, and if the number of people's heads is too high, there is no end to the horizon. It was dawn when the landing was completed, and someone found a small temple at the corner of the beach.

There are tributes placed in the small temple, and it is speculated that there must be people walking around here.

What is enshrined in the small temple is not the Bodhisattva Buddha of the Tendai Sect and the Shingon Sect, nor the three gods of good fortune, the God of Heaven, the God of God, and the God of God, but an evil and dark earth spider.

It's a pity that this time it was a temporary diversion to Wa Island, and there was no guide in Jiangzhou Prefecture who was familiar with the customs of Wa Island. I didn't know what this enshrined earth spider meant.

"The evil spirit is soaring, and it looks like a demon's evil barrier. Today, your evil temple was destroyed." Someone disliked it and demolished the small temple.

While the army was resting for a while, the scouts captured a few Japanese businessmen who could speak a little Chinese from a nearby town. After some questioning, the place where they landed on the island was called Niigata County, which was located in the middle of the Washima Pass.And the shogunate daimyo they are going to conquer this time happens to be in Nagano County in Guanzhong.

They chose the landing site very well this time. Nagano is not far from Niigata, just adjacent to it.This is not because of their good luck, but the result of years of hard training by the Jiangzhou Prefecture Navy, who are familiar with the surrounding sea area, currents, and weather.

After the third prince commended the Jiangzhou Navy, the army, which had rested for half a day, marched towards Nagano like a long dragon led by strong horses with six Vulcan cannons.

There was a small episode during the period. When the army marched out and exposed the destroyed small beach temple, the faces of the Japanese businessmen were ashen, and they all collapsed in fright, kowtowing to the small temple in despair and begging for mercy.

The abnormal behavior of these Japanese businessmen immediately attracted the attention of several princes.

There are many legends of demon gods in the folk of Washima, such as the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox Tamamomae, the demon king Ogakumaru, and the ghost king Shuten Doji.

To be called the Three Great Demon Gods, the degree of terror is naturally far above that of Tokaido Kaibozu and Ama.

However, the strength of the demon god Earth Spider King is only ranked below the three major demon gods. The folk legends about earth spiders can be traced back to the earlier period before the birth of Japanese island culture.According to legend, after a person dies in the mountains, if he is unwilling, he will turn into resentment, and nourished by the yin energy of the deep mountain, the filthy resentment will gather more and more, and finally transform into a terrifying ogre god, earth spider king.

These demon gods feed on the fear of people's hearts. The longer the age, the wider the spread and the more terrifying their strength.

The Earth Spider King Chuan has devoured the fear of the people for so many years, one can imagine how terrifying it is.

People in Niigata are located on the coast and suffer from the typhoon season in summer every year. It is useless to enshrine the gods of Shinto shrines and temples, and the Buddha statues of Dainichi Buddha are useless. Therefore, the seaside villages and towns of Niigata have changed to enshrine the deep mountain demon god, the spider king, and pray that the mountain god, the spider king, will protect them from the sea. Storm, good weather.

It is not uncommon for folks not to believe in gods and Buddhas, but to believe in ghosts and gods. Wild gods and evil spirits are the best at bewitching and deceiving people.

Now that the third prince and the others have destroyed the temple of the Earth Spider King, the mountain god Earth Spider King will surely bring great terror to Niigata County and the conquest army.

"Demon talk to confuse the public!"

The twelve princes drew their swords and slashed at two people, blood spattered five steps, still unable to stop the remaining few people from being afraid of the mountain god Earth Spider King, they simply killed them all, and ordered the scouts to find a new guide.

When attending the Shenzhou banquet, the Twelve Princes gave Jin An the impression of being a man of intelligence and martial arts, and a talented general. Today is the first time that the Twelve Princes have a brutal side.

No matter how much the other princes hide their thoughts, they will still play the banner of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness on the surface.

"What kind of mountain god, earth spider king, is just a Yi god. My Kangding country has a vast territory and thousands of people. How can I take this kind of Yi god in my eyes!" Blood, return the sword to the sheath.

The rest of the princes looked at the blood on the ground with calm faces, and did not reprimand the twelve princes, but ordered the army to continue marching towards Nagano.

During the march, the old Taoist quietly found Jin'an: "Little brother, do you think the temple of the earth spider king on the beach is the same as the Uyghur woman's drowned, and it was deliberately done by those rebels, wanting to cause us to fight against the native Japanese demon god again? "

Jin An didn't know much about the Japanese Demon God, so he didn't draw conclusions lightly. He just reminded the old Taoist priest and Liu Tai to be careful along the way, and to follow him closely if anything happened.

"I didn't pay much attention to the Temple of the Earth Spider King before, and I don't know who owed the guy to demolish the temple..."

Hearing the old Taoist mumbling in a low voice, Jin An showed a thoughtful expression.

……

Although Niigata and Nagano are adjacent, the army still marched for more than a day before entering Nagano.

When the army arrived in Nagano, they saw that the people here were in dire straits, the fertile fields were deserted, and the ten rooms were empty. Finally, they had an intuitive understanding of the brutal acts of Tucun Tuzhen, the shogunate daimyo mentioned by Liu Tai.

The guide was reluctant to enter Nagano at first, saying that there were too many dead people in Nagano. In addition to the plague, the ghosts of the dead, and the mass graves of corpses attracted many ghosts and demons from all over the country.Nagano is a place abandoned by Shinto clubs, Tendai Shingon Tantra, Onmyoji, magicians, exorcists...

Finally, under the threat and panic, the Japanese guide continued to lead the way with a sad face.

The scenes seen along the way are really no different from hell. In many places, corpses are left in the wilderness, no one buries them, and the fertile fields are overgrown with weeds. In broad daylight, many crows and vultures can be seen landing on the fields to peck at the carrion.When the army passed by, crows flew up, like dark clouds covering the sky and the sun.

The gang of rebels hiding on Wajima enslaved the Nagano Wa people too badly.

Pfft!
The Japanese guide who was walking in the front kowtowed and kowtowed to the black cloud of the crow, and asked him what he was shouting. The Japanese guide pointed to the black cloud of the crow, and stammered in horror in unfluent Chinese: "Those are the incarnations of crows, crows and tengus... Even Yatengu is here, come, come to Nagano!"

"Crow Tengu?"

The expression of despair on the Japanese guide's face deepened: "Yatengu is a subordinate of Daitengu and Tengu. It looks like a crow. It likes to eat people and...rotting corpses! Where there are Yatengu, there are, there are... many dead people and plagues, It symbolizes a bad omen! We can't go any further, there must be a large-scale plague breaking out ahead!"

According to the Japanese guide, this Yatengou likes to live in the mountains and eat people.Like the Earth Spider King, they are both mountain gods who cause disasters.Possesses terrifying and strange powers and unimaginable evil methods.

Jin'an has heard of the folk grotesque of Tiangou Shiri, but this is the first time he has heard of Ya Tiangou.Riding on a tall horse, he glanced at the Japanese guide, but it was a pity that there were too many people, so it was inconvenient for him to ask for details.
