I loaded the ghost talk game

"Eight Hundred and Eight Raccoons" refers to the general leader of the raccoons in the Shikoku region - the Hidden God Xingbu raccoons.

It is also quite a famous monster in Japan.

It is said that this raccoon boss occupies Iyo Matsuyama and commands 808 subordinates. And these 8808 dependents are each the little boss of the raccoon demon in their own territory.

The eight hundred and eighty raccoon dogs are dedicated to protecting the territory of Shikoku and confronting the deadly enemy Fox Legion.

During the period when the Hidden God Punishment Club Tanuki was active in this world, the fox forces were no match for the raccoon forces. Based on Matsuyama, Tanuki occupied the entire Shikoku at its peak, and even established a rule that "tanuki is prohibited from entering Shikoku even half a step".

It is precisely because of Tanuki's control over the Shikoku region that in the old days when humans and ghosts coexisted, Shikoku was rarely infringed upon by other monsters, including foxes.

The locals felt that this was a favor from Tanuki, so they enshrined Tanuki's boss, Daiyin Shen Xingbu Tanuki, as the "Yamaguchi Spirit God".

In today's Ehime Prefecture (old Iyo), in addition to the "Yamaguchi Reishin Shrine", many statues based on it can be seen on the streets.

Local merchants place the statue of the Eight Hundred and Eighty-Eight Rhinoceros at the entrance of their stores, which is said to bless business prosperity.

"The Eight Hundred and Eight Hundred Raccoons seem to be a raccoon demon force that has been active in the Four Kingdoms of the present world. It sounds like this monster tribe has transferred into the ordinary world for some reasons. But... even in the ordinary world, the Eight Hundred Eight Hundred Raccoons seem to still be fighting against The old enemy fox forces are fighting. "

After listening to the little old man's report, Kamiyagawa roughly understood what the traveling cat team had experienced during their trip.

"Aba Aba!"

The little old man's body continued to make gestures, telling him more information he had heard.

Kamiya understood what the scout meant and pondered for a moment: "You said the raccoon demon's treasure..."

It seems to be called "Big Bright Moon".

According to the information obtained by the little old man, the raccoon forces in Songshan seem to be guarding the "Great Moon" to avoid being snatched away by the fox forces.

Kamiya was also a little curious as to what the so-called treasure that the raccoon and fox clans were fighting over was.

However, he has no idea of ​​​​intervening for the time being.

As a huge force that actually controls a large number of areas in the world, Gao Tianyuan does have abundant martial virtues, but for the time being... he can still be considered a civilized master?

To take a step back, Gao Tianyuan at least has rules.

Like this time, Cat Shopkeeper, Golden Bear, Star Bear and the others traveled a long distance, and happened to kill Aragami Nindo all the way in Iyo, revealing the material suitable for establishing a society for the eight-foot-old girls.

But before this battle started, didn't the queen be used as a bait?

Although doing so is suspected of fishing for law enforcement.

But the two kings of cats and ghosts also have reasons to say——

"If Niru Dao hadn't wanted to kill our people, we wouldn't have defeated it."

How many masters are famous?

As for the treasure that the Tanuki Clan and the Fox Clan were fighting over, Kamiyagawa firstly didn't know what the treasure was; secondly, he had no reasonable reason to occupy the so-called "Great Moon".

So for the time being, there are no plans to get involved in the treasure hunt.

The 888 raccoon dogs have just now appeared in the sight of Gao Tianyuan's forces.

What the raccoons did was nothing more than stop the Maomao team.

Considering that the Matsuyama side was Tanuki's territory, the Takamagahara forces were outsiders there.

Maomao and the others retreated to Ni's territory. Although they were temporarily stopped, it was not unacceptable that no fierce conflict broke out.

"However, the wise Songshan raccoon tribe is good at human speech and good at illusion... The eight hundred and eight raccoon dogs have 808 dependents under them, and each of the dependents is a small boss in each place. If the raccoon power over Songshan is real With such a scale, the number of raccoons should be very large. Gao Tianyuan is still in the rising stage of development and is short of labor. Maybe they are suitable to work for me? "

Also, the Hidden God Senbu Tanuki is actually the "general tanuki demon general of the Shikoku region" who has a shrine in reality.

It should have certain absorbing value.

If there is a suitable way, such as taking advantage of the dispute between the raccoon and fox clans, you may be able to earn 880 raccoons and go to Gaotianyuan.

Rather than snatching treasures, the co-master of ghosts and gods seems to be more interested in Iyo's raccoon demons themselves.

"Plundering the population... Well, recruiting talented people is quite important for the development of today's power. From this perspective, you can continue to pay attention to the trends on Iyo's side."

Asking the little old man to pay attention to Tsuneisei Iyo's situation, Kamiyagawa contacted the countermeasures room again and obtained some detailed information about the Eight Hundred and Eight Rhinoceros from Ehime County.

By consulting these materials, he learned more information related to the Eight Hundred and Eight Rhinoceros. In Ehime Prefecture, there is a legendary story called "The Tale of the Eight Hundred and Eighty-Eight Tanuki" that has been passed down to this day——

Legend has it that the Hidden God Xingbu Tanuki is the patron saint of the Matsuyama Castle area. He has been guarding the surrounding areas of Matsuyama Castle for a hundred years. He is known by the locals as "the number one supernatural power in the four countries" and has good relations with humans.

Therefore, at that time, the raccoon demons in Shikoku were relatively rare and could live in harmony with humans.

But later, the eight hundred and eighty raccoon dogs, who had been the patron saint for hundreds of years, launched an action to seize the human Songshan City without any warning.

Facing the invasion of the raccoon demons, the then Lord of Songshan City was shocked and frightened.

The city lord knew that his own men could not be a match for the raccoon demons, so he asked for help from outside.

By chance, a young samurai from Hiroshima stepped in and promised to help Matsuyama Castle survive the crisis.

This warrior's surname is Inao.

Ino Samurai is not an ordinary person. He once passed the test of the demon king Yamamoto Gorozaemon and possessed a magical mallet given by the demon king.

At the end of the story of "Yabaiha Tanuki Story", with the help of the demon king's mallet, Ino Samurai defeated the army of the transformed raccoons of the Kakushin Gyobu Tanuki, and sealed the Kakushin Gyobu Tanuki and his 808 subordinates in a cave at the foot of Mount Kumayama.

This local legend in Ehime Prefecture made Kamiya River laugh.

I thought it was a folk legend related to the eight hundred and eight raccoons, but... Isn't this the personal heroic biography of my little brother?

Ino Samurai, the hero who saved Matsuyama Castle in "Yabaiha Tanuki Story", once passed the test of Yamamoto Gorozaemon and possessed the demon king's mallet.

Isn't that the same person as Ino Heitaro in the Kageyo Inn Shichinin Gozen?

"After all this time, there is still some old grudge between the Yaoba Tanuki faction and our Takama-ga-hara faction."

Kamiyakawa found it interesting and went to the live fish inn in Tsuneyo to find Ino.

From him, perhaps we can get more clues about Yaoba Tanuki.

...

Live fish inn.

It was probably the room of the internal staff meeting room before.

Because the master came to visit suddenly, the emperors gathered here quickly.

In addition to the seven emperors, the drone ghost story Kasahara also came to this meeting room.

As the "external memory brain" of the emperors, Kasahara has been taken care of by the big brothers and big sisters for a long time.

When he was first captured by Kamiya, he was a tragically dead wandering soul attached to the drone.

But now he is a ghost story with a D-level rating.

And he has also been strengthened by the "ghost story film" picked up by Miyako, his body has been reshaped, and his thinking has become much more agile.

At this time, Kasahara was floating on one side of the meeting room.

The black drone quietly hovered beside him, and the camera faithfully recorded the progress of the meeting.

"Master, do you have any instructions this time?"

Kamiyakawa, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at his subordinates sitting upright and shook his head helplessly: "Are you a little too formal?"

He felt that the atmosphere of the subordinates was not right.

But after a simple thought, he roughly understood why.

When the seven subordinates first joined the force, they also served as the main force in the battle. As the force has developed to the present, the enemies to be faced are getting stronger and stronger, and the subordinates are different from other ghost stories. They cannot be promoted normally, so there are fewer and fewer places to play on the battlefield.

They are probably worried about this matter.

"We, did not do a good job for you, the master."

"Uh... It's not necessary to do it. In fact, I didn't come here to explain anything important this time, but I just have a few questions to ask Ino."

"Me? Please ask, Master."

The Ino warrior who was named sat up a little straighter, and the eyes of other subordinates fell on him.

"The thing is, earlier, our people encountered a group of local monster forces in the Iyo region of the Shikoku region. It is now known that they should belong to the great raccoon monster Yaoba Tanuki."

"Yabaiha Tanuki..."

Hearing this name, Inosuke really reacted.

"Inosuke, you have fought with this group of raccoons, right?"

"Yes, Master. Yaoba Tanuki led his men to attack Matsuyama Castle in Iyo. At that time, I was entrusted by the castle lord to use the Demon King Hammer to seal Yaoba Tanuki in a cave."

It was not something worth keeping secret, not to mention that it was the Master who asked, so Inosuke certainly told everything he knew.

"According to the information I read, Yaoba Tanuki was originally the guardian god of the Matsuyama Castle area and was very popular among the locals. Since you are an eyewitness to the incident, do you know why the raccoon general wanted to attack Matsuyama Castle?"

"I really don't know about this. But I did hear the lord of Matsuyama Castle say that Yaoba Tanuki had a good relationship with humans. Therefore, the lord of Matsuyama Castle had never expected that the raccoon monsters would attack Matsuyama Castle."

"You don't know either."

The reason why the former general of the Shikoku raccoon monsters suddenly attacked Matsuyama Castle is still unknown.

"That battle with Yaoba Tanuki consumed a lot of energy from the Demon King Hammer. However, these raccoon monsters will appear in the eternal world now, perhaps because they fell in when the present world and the eternal world were completely separated."

Inosuke continued to add, and gave a reasonable guess as to why the sealed raccoon monsters appeared in the eternal world.

At the end of the Heian period, Abe Haruaki went to war with Huangquan. After that battle of gods, the eternal world and the present world were completely separated.

This matter is known to the top leaders of Kamiya's forces.

It also corresponds to the timeline of Inao sealing the Eight Hundred and Eight Tanuki.

In short, what Inao said is similar to what is recorded in "The Tale of Eight Hundred and Eight Tanuki". What is recorded in that story has generally happened.

And the role played by Inao in that incident is "a passing hero of justice".

After resolving the crisis of Matsuyama Castle, he left his name in the local area.

He did not go into more details.

But speaking of this, Kamiya River felt that his little brother was quite powerful when he was active in real life.

There are many stories and legends left behind.

And "Demon King Hammer"... Kamiya has seen Inao use this thing once.

It was used in "Seven People VS Kamiya River".

After that, Inao never took out the hammer in any battle.

That is to say, the mallet was only used to hit the master...

As to why the Demon King's mallet could not be used again, Kamiyagawa actually asked Ino a long time ago.

After all, they have been together for so long, of course such important things should have been figured out long ago.

According to what Ino said before——

The Demon King's mallet is still in the Live Fish Inn.

The reason is related to the origin of the inn.

Ino Heitaro died in the Live Fish Inn, or more precisely, the real world area corresponding to the inn.

He died there.

According to Ino, he was attacked by a powerful monster once and escaped to the Live Fish Inn area with the help of the treasure mallet.

He arrived here with a heavy body, and he was already helpless.

At the moment when Ino died and his soul left his body, the Demon King's mallet dragged him into the real world.

In this way, the treasure mallet consumed itself to create the Live Fish Inn.

And Ino was the first Gozen in the inn, and he was a little different from the later Gozen. The later Gozen entered the inn as living people, but only Ino was directly affected by the treasure mallet after his death and appeared here.

Also, the "Yamamoto Gorozaemon" who appeared in the Live Fish Inn and had contact with Kamiya before was not the devil himself, but the incarnation of the treasure hammer.

Because the treasure hammer maintains the existence of the hotel, it is difficult for Inao to use it directly.

After that, after handing over the hotel to Kamiya, the devil hammer fell into a deep sleep.

Therefore, Inao naturally could no longer use it.

Although this matter had been known before, when the Demon King Kotsuchi was mentioned again today, Inosuke added one more point:

"Now that I think about it, the reason why the Treasure Treasure became weaker and weaker... is also closely related to the fact that he had just fought a big battle and consumed too much energy, and before he could replenish it, he immediately built the Everworld Inn for me."

Kamiya realized something: "A big battle, consumed too much energy? Wait, what do you mean?"

Inosuke nodded: "Yes. Master, I didn't mention it before. My death happened not long after I defeated the Eight Hundred and Eight Tanuki."

"Who was the monster that attacked you?"

"I can't judge, but it shouldn't be a tanuki monster."

"Are you sure that the Eight Hundred and Eight Tanuki was completely sealed by you at that time?"

"I can be sure."

"Is that so..."

Kamiya felt that there seemed to be many secrets and doubts about the old things related to the Eight Hundred and Eight Tanuki.

I had thought about finding an opportunity to explore Iyo before.

Now that I think about it, maybe I can take Inosuke with me?
