I, the young onmyoji

The pillar of black flame spurted out from its big mouth, and then the black flame enveloped its whole body, and finally exploded directly.

The giant centipede was thus ended.

In the flames, Ibaraki slowly walked out with a look of contempt on his face.

"Hmph, crickets and fish, do you want to eat me too?"

The centipede's fall caused the monsters to suddenly stop charging, and then began to retreat quickly.

Quickly retreat into the miasma, and then slowly retreat away from the scope of the shrine under the protection of the dark miasma.

Chang Ran, who landed on the ground, looked at the evacuating monsters and had no intention of pursuing them.

Because Yasha should not be among these monsters.

"A test, Yaksha would not come in person if he was seriously injured. If he had come in person, he would have summoned the sea of ​​underworld to attack."

So even if you pursue them, you will only be able to get rid of these little monsters at most. And if you don't have enough spiritual power, even if you kill those monsters, the miasma of that level cannot be eliminated, so the pursuit is meaningless.

However, the impact of this wave of monsters reminded Changran that the danger of the artifact had increased to another level.

I originally thought that it was just an artifact that summoned the Sea of ​​Underworld, but now it seems that it can not only summon the Sea of ​​Underworld, but can also control monsters infected by miasma or the souls of human beings. In this way, as long as Yasha holds the artifact, he can It's easy to create an army, just like Huang Quan's foreign body army.

This is even more terrifying than the Sea of ​​Hell.

Thinking of this, Changran turned his head and looked at the ghosts who had been watching from behind.

Seeing Changran like this, the ghosts were a little confused.

"is there anything?"

Gui Jibai asked aloud.

"There are indeed some things, and they are very important, related to what happened this time."

Changran put away his knife and walked in.

"Although it is said that you have to stay in the permanent world and find Xiao Xiaohei, but before that, I need you to take me to meet someone."

"Who?"

"Your immediate boss, Yama."

Please recommend~Please give me a monthly ticket~Please ask for a blade~~

Trouble in Arakawa: 26. Came to the Santu River again

Yama is the immediate boss of the ghost angels and one of the powerful people in the underworld.

Of course, Yama is not the highest authority person, he can only be said to be a middle-level authority person.

But he is also the one who knows the most about the matters below and is connected to the powers above.

And Changran is here for this.

"People in the ordinary world are not allowed to enter the underworld. The only ones that can enter the underworld are human souls."

"Is that why I'm like this?"

In the dark space, Gui Jihei walked in front carrying a sickle, followed by a relaxed Chang Ran.

At this time, Changran was unarmed, and he did not have Ibaraki or the Great Tengu with him, because this was the realm of the underworld.

Those who come to the underworld can only be ghosts or the souls of the dead.

If Changran wants to come in, he must transform into the form of a soul.

Soul out-of-body, a technique that Abe Seimei is good at, but unfortunately, Changran does not know it, so although the soul is out-of-body, it is pulled out of the body by a ghost.

With just a slight hook of the sickle, Changran's soul was drawn out. This made it really convenient for ghosts to kill people, but ghosts were strictly prohibited from actively harming humans.

Then Masaran's body was left in the shrine outside, taken care of by Ibaraki and the Daitengu, while Masaran's soul followed Demon Jiguro to the underworld through the door he opened.

"By the way, I was here last time."

Chang Ran, who was following Gui Jihei, looked at the darkness around him and remembered the situation when he came here after being strangled last time.

"Ah? Have you been here?"

Gui Jihei looked at Changran in surprise.

"This is the underworld. Even Abe Seimei needs permission to come here. How did you come here?"

"Ah, how did I get here? Didn't you just say that the only people who can come here are undead souls? How do you think I got here?"

Changran's words made Gui Jihei's eyes widen.

"You died once? How come I didn't know?"

"I should have died once, otherwise I wouldn't have come here. No, didn't you say that after I die, I will be guided to the underworld by you? Why did I come here by myself? I saw the Santu River at that time. , we almost crossed the river directly."

"Well...we only guide those souls who cannot enter the underworld normally and are wandering in the eternal world. Not everyone dies is guided by us, so wouldn't we have to die from exhaustion?"

As Gui Jihei explained, he had an expression on his face that looked like he had seen a ghost.

"But you've already arrived at Santu River, why did you come back to life again?"

"Yes, I didn't cross the river after that, but stayed on this side of the river, and finally returned to the ordinary world. I think I was resurrected."

Changran had a smile on his face.

"The main reason is because of my grandma."

"Your grandma?"

Gui Jihei frowned, and after a while he suddenly became enlightened.

"Ah, so it's her."

Speaking of Wakana, Onijiguro seems to be very familiar.

But it’s weird if you’re not familiar with it.

The ghost often travels between the living world and the underworld, so it is natural that he should see Wakana often by the Santu River.

"I didn't expect that she helped you. It really surprised me."

Shaking his head, Gui Zhihei laughed.

"I remember that when she first saw me, she was very frightened by my brother and me. After all, ghosts are very scary existences for ordinary people, but she was frightened and begged us not to To take her across the river, just let her stay by the river. She has to wait for Abe Seimei to come before we can cross the river together."

"Grandma told me about this."

Chang Ran also remembered what Wakana said about waiting for Seimei.

"If that's the case..."

If you think about it this way, Wakana should still be on the edge of the Santu River.

Then wait a while, I will meet you again.

Following Gui Jihei, Chang Ran finally came to the Santu River again.

"I didn't expect to be here for the second time so soon."

Changran looked at Santuhe in front of him and smiled bitterly.

"Changran?"

There were also doubtful voices from the side.

Turning their heads together with Jiji Hei, they saw Wakana with a surprised look on his face.

"And... Lord Demon..."

"We meet again, grandma."

Chang Ran raised his hand and said hello with a smile, while Gui Jihei also waved his hand.

"Ah, we meet again, Changran."

First she responded to Changran with a smile, and then Wakana immediately regained her previous surprise.

"No, why are you here again, Changran, and you were brought here by Master Guiji?"

"Could it be that!"

Surprise turned to horror.

Changran rubbed his head helplessly.

"Well, although I can probably understand your thoughts, grandma, the situation is not what you think."

What Wakana was thinking about was that Chang Ran died, and then was extradited to the underworld by Jiji Hei, and was ready to cross the river. After all, she didn't know the situation outside, right?

"Huh? It's not what I thought. Could it be a worse situation?"

As the wife of Abe Seimei, Wakana does not know onmyoji, but her spiritual vision is very strong, so she is very clear about things related to onmyoji, including the underworld, the underworld, and hell.

"Changran, have you committed some serious crime and are you going to be arrested by the Demon Lord and sent to hell!?"

Okay, this is indeed a bad thing, but why would you think of such a thing.

Changran looked at Wakana's panic, and the bitter smile on his face became even worse. His grandma seemed to be a little too imaginative.

But in order to reassure her, he still had to explain it.

"Grandma, I have something very important to discuss with Lord Yama in the underworld, so I came here."

"Huh? Isn't it because of a serious crime?"

Although a little surprised, Wakana still wanted to confirm.

"It's not because of the big mouth."

"Isn't it because he died again?"

"It's not because he died again."

Changran nodded seriously.

However, Wakana was still not at ease and looked at the ghost next to Changran with some concern.

If Guijiangheidu said so, then there should be no problem.

So, he got a nod from Guijiang Hei.

Wakana turned to look at Changran again, walked in, and touched Changran's face.

"If that's the case, then Changran, you must come back right away. You will come back right away after you have settled the matter with Lord Yama."

"Don't worry grandma, I will be back soon."

For this grandma who was very nervous about her life, Changran could only smile and nod.

Asking Wakana to put down his hand, Changran looked at Demon Jihei.

"It's time to pass."

"Well, come with me."

Gui Jihei said that he was about to walk down the Santu River.

"Isn't it by boat?"

Changran was a little confused.

"Huh? Take a boat? Who told you to take a boat?"

Gui Jihei glanced at Changran speechlessly, and Changran was also speechless.

He had always thought that crossing the Santu River meant crossing the river.

"People in the soul state will not drown. When they have passed away and have not many memories of this life, they will be attracted by the Santu River, walk into it themselves, and be washed by the Santu River in their hearts. Remove the memories of this life, and then enter the depths of the underworld to meet Lord Yama."

"Hey, I'm just here to see Lord Yama. I don't want my memory to be washed away."

Seeing Gui Jihei walking further and further into the Santu River, Changran quickly reminded him.

"So it's okay if you follow me. I will protect you from the impact of the Santu River."

Shrugging helplessly, Changran followed Gui Jihei and walked directly into the Santu River.

Along the way, as Gui Jihei said, there was no so-called suffocation. I was slowly advancing on the turbid bottom of the river. I also saw some slowly advancing figures along the way. They were probably the souls of the dead who were crossing the river. , but their speed is obviously much slower, and it will take a lot of time for the memories of their lifetimes to be washed away.

After crossing the Santu River without any damage, he continued to follow Gui Jihei and arrived at the entrance of a huge palace at the extension of the underworld.
