Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 292 Yao Chen Shun, the four evils

Blood spattered, Yun Tushun let out a stern roar, turned around and slapped me.The huge black animal claws drove gusts of wind, and in desperation, I withdrew my sword to block back.

boom!
The claws and swords intersected, and Jin Ming was crisp.I was struck back several meters by this force, my palms trembled, and I couldn't help thinking, this guy has so much strength!

And the little dragon on the other side also took this opportunity to break free from his grasp, soaring in mid-air, the dragon's cry was shocking.

The wind whizzed past, and the sound was like howling ghosts and wolves.Two people and one dragon confront each other.

What kind of monster is this!

I thought of the grimace hidden in the mist just now, except for the scarlet eyes, it was the exaggerated big mouth, which seemed to be able to swallow everything, and everything was just food in front of him.

At this moment, Yun Tushun raised his black arm, stretched out a big dark red tongue from his terrifying mouth, and gently licked the fingertips, licking the blood scraped off my body.

Blood-red light suddenly brightened from his eyes, like two bright red lanterns, extremely alluring.A hoarse and deep voice slowly came out of his mouth: "Their descendants? This taste is really intoxicating."

As his words came out, I felt chills all over my body, and at the same time, endless anger rose up in my heart.

Just when the atmosphere was extremely tense and a big battle might break out at any time, the camp not far away was finally alarmed. Several lights lit up from the camp, and there were loud voices of people.

Yun Tushun and I looked at each other, and in my horrified gaze, the red light in this guy's eyes gradually receded, and the mutated parts of his mouth and arms also returned to normal in a very short period of time, if it wasn't for him The scar on the neck and the torn clothes explained everything just now. It seemed that no one would believe that he could turn into such a fierce monster.

"Let's go first, you can't kill him in a short time, if you wait for those people to come over, you still can't tell what happened tonight, this guy seems to be an official in your court, don't give you a headshot Accuse me." A crisp voice rang in my head.

I nodded silently, wiped off the blood on the sword, and took the little dragon in the sky to leave through another path. I don't believe that this guy will reveal his secrets in front of those dozens of people. After all, the monster The appearance is not a good thing at first glance, and it will cause panic among everyone.

Sure enough, after I turned around and left, that Yun Tushun still stood where he was, and didn't make any movements, but a deep and terrifying words sounded behind me:

"You can't escape, I will eat you sooner or later, just like your ancestors, they can only rotate our food and repay the debt 4000 years ago!"

I trembled, but didn't stop.Moving on, when I reached a quiet forest, I stopped, found a clean stone and sat down, silently.

Xiaobai also seemed to be aware of the subtlety of the atmosphere, and flew to lie beside me, looking at me with his eyes open.

With a cold expression on my face, I said, "Come out, there are some things that need to be clarified."

After a long time, a faint sigh sounded from my body, and a little girl with a slightly transparent body came out.The big bright eyes carry a calmness and vicissitudes that do not belong to this age.

"What is the identity of that Yun Tushun, why I felt such extreme disgust when I saw him, and what did he mean by what he said." I stared at Xue'er and asked coldly.

I've had enough. Strange things and people keep appearing around me, solving one mystery and then another mystery. This kind of life and experience is really unbearable for me. I want to know the so-called truth.

Xue'er looked at me, without all the savagery, just sighed: "You are not strong enough now to take on the mission you should have. When you become stronger and the blood in your body is completely revived, naturally will know..."

"enough!"

I let out a loud roar, and my whole face became hideous: "Since I was born, I have assumed the responsibility that this bloodline should have. Whether it is now or in the future, I can't escape, not strong enough? What if I am not strong enough?" , I have already met him, that guy is definitely my natural enemy, I don’t know what is more terrifying behind him, even if I am still weak, then they can let me go?”

"Tell me! Tell me everything you know, and let me know the so-called truth, so that I will have the motivation to continue to struggle and fight hard!" I stared at Xue'er with wide eyes, today, I'm about to get to the bottom of these secrets that bother me!
Xue'er looked at me blankly, as if a little surprised by what I said.

After a while, she took a deep look at me and said, "Forget it, since you want to know, then I'll tell you something. Actually, I don't know much."

I was short of breath, feeling a little excited.

Xue'er said softly: "You want to know the identities of that fat man and the family behind him?"

I nodded and said, "Our Chen family is the descendant of Emperor Shun, and that fat man is also called 'Tu Shun'. Even a blind person can see the connection here."

The corner of Xue'er's mouth curled up, and she said playfully, "Since you can see it, do you know what that monster that appeared behind him just now is?"

that monster...

I recalled that frightening phantom in my mind, the body surrounded by black air, the red eyes full of tyranny and greed on the face, and his most terrifying huge mouth, which seemed to be able to swallow the whole world when it opened and closed.

All the information on alien beasts that I have heard kept flashing through my mind, and in an instant, a flash of lightning flashed across my heart, and a name flashed in my heart instantly, and I blurted out: "Gaotie!"

gluttonous!

This is an extremely terrifying and familiar name, and it is one of the most ferocious beasts in Chinese myths and legends. His name is recorded in ancient books such as "Shan Hai Jing" and "Shen Yi Jing", and even in folklore. Zhonggeng said that he is one of the nine sons of the dragon, but no matter what his origin and image are, in all the impressions given to him, there are only two words "greedy".

Gluttony means gluttony in Chinese, and it is a symbol of greed. There is a saying that gluttony is too gluttonous and eats its own body. It is recorded: "Zhou Ding wrote gluttony, with a head but no body, cannibalism did not harm his body, and he repaid it with words." Therefore, his image in many places is a mouth without a body, with a mouth full of fangs.

Moreover, the existence of this kind of strange beast is very ancient. In archaeology, the image of gluttony was tattooed on many unearthed tripod vessels of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and this is not its final origin. It is said that in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River Many bronzes unearthed from the 5000-year-old Liangzhu Cultural Site are engraved with patterns of gluttony, which shows that as early as 5000 years ago, the ancestors on this land had seen the image of this strange beast. Its existence is as long as the entire Chinese civilization.

Xue'er gave me a satisfied look, and said, "It seems that you have some knowledge. That thing is indeed the legendary gluttonous. It's just that the fat man only has a little bit of gluttonous blood."

Although I was prepared in my heart, I was still slightly taken aback, and asked: "Even if that thing is a glutton, what does it have to do with my blood? Could it be that my ancestors and this glutton are still life and death enemies?" No?"

As I speak, I picture in my mind what I saw not so long ago in that trance.Under the dark clouds all over the sky, a big mouth covering the sky and the sun slowly opened, sucking all the soldiers into its mouth, and a tall figure stood proudly below, and pulled out the sharp sword in his hand facing the big mouth.

"That's right, the ancestors of your clan, Emperor Shun and Taotie, were enemies of life and death. All of this can be traced back to the ancient history."

There was a hint of vicissitudes in Xue'er's words, and she talked eloquently: "I don't know if you have read the history books about your ancestors. You must know that the enmity between Emperor Shun and Taotie is well known in the world, and it is not a big secret. There is a record in "Zuo Zhuan·Wen Gong 18th Year": "Shun Chen Yao, guest in the four gates, flowed from the four fierce clans, Chaos, Qiongqi, Zhuwu, and Taotie, and voted for the four descendants to guard against evil spirits.'"

"In the ancient times, when Emperor Shun was still a subject of Emperor Yao, he fought many times with the four ominous creatures, gluttony and chaos, which endangered all living beings. When Emperor Shun ascended the throne, he defeated them with the power of the world Exile in all directions. Of course, exile is actually suppression. Emperor Shun suppressed them in the magic circle with great magic power, and used their power to subdue other evil spirits and monsters to ensure peace in the world."

I suddenly realized, no wonder when I faced the phantom of the glutton, my body changed. It turned out that it was caused by the enmity between Emperor Shun and the glutton in ancient times. Passed down through blood, even in my generation, there will be an endless relationship with Taotie.

Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of the gluttonous blood on Yun Tushun's body, and I couldn't help but exclaimed in shock: "But isn't that gluttonous ancient beast? How could its blood appear on that dead fat man? Could it be that gluttonous and human able to combine..."
