I just wanted to become an immortal and was forced to open a harem

With a "pop" sound, Lin Hezhen snapped his fingers.

The layer of white cloth was lifted directly, revealing the things wrapped inside.

That turned out to be a skull!

"Boring, it's such an old trick." Lin Hezhen yawned.

"Crack."

Cracks appeared on the skull, and then the cracks became larger and larger, spreading over it like a spider web.

There was a "pop" sound, and the skull exploded into pieces.

At the same time, large cracks appeared on the monster's body, and its body suddenly spontaneously ignited. A burst of violent burning burned its entire body to pieces in an instant, and eventually turned into fly ash, which dissipated in the wind.

The majestic evil spirit spread out in all directions, and the evil wind blew the dead leaves on the ground flying in random directions.

Yotsuya Miko was surprised to find that the same flame ignited in her body.

This fire was not scorching at all. After being burned by it, Jianzi felt a lot more relaxed, as if some filth entangled in his body had been pulled out, and he was free all of a sudden.

"Could it be the so-called 'agreement' I made with the fox demon by praying to it before?" Miko guessed.

The strong wind carried the evil spirit and swept out from the torii gate. Against the strong wind, Yotsuya Miko tried her best to stretch her head to see what was going on in the shrine.

I saw Lin Hezhen walking out of the shrine.

At the entrance of the shrine, the fox demon who helped him knelt on the ground and bowed to him.

"Poor soul enslaved by monsters, you are free, go where you should go." Lin Hezhen's calm tone contained a trace of imperceptible pity.

As the wind blew, the fox demon's figure became lighter and lighter, and finally turned into a ball of light. Together with other light balls rushing out of the monster's body, it flew into the sky until it completely disappeared.

"Are these souls devoured and enslaved by monsters?" Yotsuya Miko vaguely guessed the truth and asked in shock.

"That's right." Lin Hezhen nodded and walked towards the main hall of the shrine.

"Now comes the problem."

"The monster lives deep in the shrine within the barrier. It doesn't look like it can easily go outside the barrier. So who posts everywhere to attract people to come and worship the 'mountain god'?"

"Furthermore, that ugly monster whose body is a bell is covered in fox skin and disguised as a fox spirit or Inari god. Where does its skin come from?"

"If I read it correctly, although the layout here is a shrine, a charm, and a rope, its purpose is not to suppress the sealed monster at all, but to gather evil energy for it and work hard to cultivate this monster. So whose handiwork is this monster petri dish?"

"There are actually people in this world who are cultivating monsters?!" Yotsuya Miko heard this with horror.

Driven by curiosity, she followed Lin Hezhen into the shrine.

I saw Lin Hezhen's right palm spread upward, and a long hair suddenly flew up from the pile of ashes on the ground, flying straight into Lin Hezhen's hand.

Yotsuya Miko looked at it intently, but saw that the hair was golden, thin, smooth, and shiny.

"Could it be some foreign woman's hair?" Mianzi asked doubtfully.

Before she could figure it out, in a daze, Mianzi felt that this hair exuded an enchanting charm, as if it had infinite magic power, constantly attracting her, wanting to take it as her own...

"Wake up!" Lin Hezhen patted her shoulder heavily with his left hand.

Yotsuya Miko came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. Only then did she realize that she had reached out her hand to grab the hair at some point, and the fingertips of her right hand were less than one centimeter away from it.

"Ah, what's going on with this hair? It's so weird!"

Yotsuya Miko withdrew her hand as if she had been burned, and turned her head away, not daring to take a closer look.

Lin Hezhen didn't seem to be confused by this hair at all. He felt the familiar breath on it and showed a knowing smile.

"This is not human hair, it is the hair on the tail of a white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox." Lin Hezhen explained.

"The white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox? Isn't that the legendary Tamamo-mae?" Yotsugamiko covered her mouth in surprise.

"Yes, that's the guy you call Tamamo-mae."

"But isn't she a character in a fairy tale?" Yotsugamiko had a ridiculous emotion in her heart, as shocked as the first time she saw a monster.

Lin Hezhen turned around and said meaningfully to her: "Don't you understand yet? The myth has arrived."

"This is the best of times, and it is the worst of times; this is the age of technology, and it is also the age of extraordinary things; people have everything in front of them, and people have nothing in front of them; people are on the road to heaven, and people are heading to the gate of hell."

"Anyway, welcome to the world of spiritual energy recovery."

Chapter 193 You are a destined person

"Revival of spiritual energy..." Yotsuya Miko pondered this sentence, somewhat vaguely understanding it.

Lin Hezhen looked at the golden hair in his hand, felt the familiar scent on it, and smiled slightly: "I finally caught your fox tail."

Since that war, the whereabouts of Smith and the great monster Tamamo Mae from the "All Things Cult" have been unknown.

Lin Hezhen speculated with his spiritual sense that these two people should still be lurking somewhere in the island country, secretly planning some conspiracy.

The magic weapon that can control people's hearts, the True Scripture Mirror, might be within their control.

The incident of him and Shinomiya Kaguya exchanging bodies may have something to do with them.

But no matter what they are planning, the answer will be revealed one day.

Take your time and play with them.

Anyway, Hayashi Kazuma is now invincible in the island country, and Murakami Maki, Sakurajima Mai, Yukinoshita Yukino, Kato Megumi, Shinomiya Kaguya and even Hayasaka Ai have all been cast by him with powerful protective spells, and they will never appear again. What an accident.

"Let's go, it's over here, let's go back." Lin Hezhen put away the hair and asked Yotsuya Miko to come down the mountain.

"No need to worry about it anymore?" Miko quickly followed.

Lin Hezhen explained without looking back: "Of course, without the monsters raised, this barrier will soon disappear on its own."

"Jun Lin was so powerful just now. How did he make it?" Yotsuya Miko blinked curiously.

"Let me think about it." Lin Hezhen touched his chin, with a smirk on his lips.

"As long as you do [-] push-ups, [-] sit-ups, [-] sit-ups, and ten kilometers of long-distance running every day. And in order to hone your willpower, you can't turn on the air conditioner in summer and winter. Do this for three years , will surely become stronger.”

"Eh? You can't turn on the air conditioner in summer? What kind of devil training method is this!" Yotsugami couldn't help but yell.

"Where is the point?"

"Is this really the amount of exercise a person can sustain?" Yotsugamiko expressed doubts.

"Of course, many people have already followed it, ensuring it is true and effective." Lin Hezhen said confidently.

"Although it was excruciatingly painful at first and I wished I could take a day off, but if you want to become a powerful hero, no matter how painful it is, you must continue to train until you vomit blood every day."

"Even if your legs are too heavy to move, you have to keep doing squats. Even if your arms are rattling, you have to keep doing push-ups. You will notice the changes in your body after a year and a half."

"So, what's the price?" Yotsuya Miko asked unmoved.

"The only price is probably baldness."

Yotsuya Mitiko touched her hair and couldn't help but shudder.

"Sure enough, forget it." She shook her head decisively.

Lin Hezhen pretended to be serious and said: "You can't say that. Think about it, you are bald and you have become stronger. How can this be a beautiful thing? You must fight to the death with the momentum of being bald and risking your hair. Train yourself, that’s the only secret to being strong!”

Yotsuya Miko waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I'd better lie down. Being strong or something is not suitable for me."

"Ah, that's such a shame." Lin Hezhen shrugged regretfully.

……

It took about an hour after the two of them went down the mountain.

A woman with silver hair and a golden skirt came riding on the clouds with bare feet.

I saw a pair of fox ears on her head, nine big furry tails exposed under her skirt, an almond-shaped face and peach cheeks, picturesque eyebrows, and breathtaking beauty.

Her facial features are pure and her temperament is holy, but there is a hint of charm in her purity. Her obsidian-like eyes seem to be able to speak, and her tender eyes seem to be able to suck in people's souls.

The visitor is none other than Tamamo Mae, the famous monster of the island country.

She landed in the shrine, looked at the messy scene, and frowned secretly.

"Are you late? It's strange, how did the Celestial monk know this place?"

Tamamo Mae walked into the half-collapsed shrine hall, saw the broken skull, and shook his head slightly.

"The hair I left here was indeed taken away. It seems that in the future, the behavior of cultivating the demon clan must be more secretive. It is best to avoid Dongdu and nearby areas."

Tamamo Mae turned around to leave, but as soon as she stepped out of the shrine gate, she looked up at the sky as if aware.

"Hahaha, you slutty fox, your men seem to have offended the wrong people."

Hearty laughter came, and the big monster with the appearance of a handsome boy - Shuten Doji, came walking on the dark wind.

"What are you here for?"

Tamamo Mae swung her nine tails and pinched the magic formula with her hands, and she was actually ready for battle.

"Wait, I'm not here to fight with you."

Shuten Doji landed on the ruins of the shrine and raised his hands to show his sincerity.

"You're not here to fight, so why are you here?"

Tamamo is still very wary of this old enemy who has been hostile for hundreds of years.

"Actually, I'm here to cooperate with you." Shuten Doji said with a smile.

Tamamo raised his eyebrows: "Cooperation? Have you made up your mind to join us?"

Shuten Doji shook his head gently: "Join you? No, no, no, I just want to cooperate with you, not to be a lackey for the royal onmyoji. Tamamo-mae, you are also a famous great demon for a long time, so you are willing to work for humans. To be a slave for life? This is not like the cunning fox I know."

Tamamo Mae frowned and said, "What else can we do? The monster clan has suffered serious attrition during the thousand-year period of spiritual energy shortage. The number of monsters above the Qi training period is far less than that of human monks. If they continue to fight against humans, the monster clan will only die."

"You should also set up such barriers everywhere to cultivate new blood of the monster clan, and use them as a petri dish for monsters." Shuten Doji suddenly realized.

Tamamo nods: "Of course, this is one of the conditions for me to serve as a human monk."

"I see. It's no wonder that even though this place is so close to Dongdu City, no Onmyoji has ever come to clean it up. You guys are organized monsters, unlike us wild little monsters." Shuten Douji said mockingly to himself.

Tamamo nods and says: "That's it, so my plan is to slowly grow the power of the demon clan under the wings of human monks. Now that the spiritual energy has revived, there are more and more new demon clans, and they can cultivate faster. I'm afraid they won't be able to use them. In a few hundred years, it will be possible to realize the grand scene of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade."

"Achieving the grand occasion of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons? Hahaha, Tamamo-mae, you have such a beautiful idea." Shuten Doji burst out laughing.

"There is a saying among humans: 'How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed'? They allow you to increase your strength now because the demon clan is too weak. If you increase your strength, you can better serve them."

"However, once the demon clan's strength expands enough to threaten humans, they will in turn raise their butcher's knife against you."

"If you continue to obey the orders of humans, the demon clan will never be able to truly revive. The only thing waiting for you is 'the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked'."

Tamamo was silent after hearing this.

How could she, a thousand-year-old fox, not understand this simple truth?I just didn’t have a choice.

"Then what do you think?"

Tamamo Mae thought it would be wise to listen to what medicine this old enemy was selling in his gourd.

Shuten Doji said with a solemn expression: "The biggest weakness of our demon clan right now is the scarcity of numbers, especially the lack of mid-range combat power."

"The birth of the demon clan is not as easy as that of humans. While their lifespan is longer, their cultivation progress is also slower, so it is not easy to break through. But the good thing is that as long as the demon clan has opened its spiritual intelligence, it will naturally breathe in and practice, and it doesn't matter. Spiritual root restrictions.”

"Therefore, as long as humans pick the right time and sweep away low-level monsters every few decades, they can cut off the monsters' path to revival."

Tamamo Mae sighed: "What can I do?"

Shuten Doji grinned: "The way to break the situation is very simple. I have already made a detailed plan to ensure that I am sure of success."

"Oh? The problem that the demon clan has been unable to solve for thousands of years can be solved easily in your eyes. Then why didn't you take action in the first place, instead of hiding under Mount Fugaku in disgrace?" Tamamo Mae sneered.

Shuten Doji's old face turned red: "This moment, the other moment. In the past, when the spiritual energy was lacking, I really had nothing to do, but now that the spiritual energy has recovered, the situation is different. Many things that were impossible to do before are not a problem now."

Tamamo Mae snorted: "Okay, then I'll listen to what you call a way to break the situation. If it's really feasible, it's not impossible for me to join you."

"Then the human Onmyoji?"

"I'm just cooperating with them temporarily. If there is a better partner, why would you still follow them?" Tamamo Mae said disdainfully.

Shuten Doji couldn't help but applaud her: "As expected of you, vixen, conspiracy and betrayal are as natural to you as breathing."

Tamamo-mae said nonchalantly: "Human beings are wary of me in many ways, but they still expect me to be loyal? How can such a good thing happen if the horses run away and don't eat grass? I am a demon king after all, and I want to protect the little demons under me. Let us consider whichever side is conducive to my strengthening my strength, and I will go there."

"Yes, this is the Tamamo Mae I know." Shuten Doji gave a thumbs up.

Tamamo-mae rolled her eyes at him: "Stop talking nonsense, don't be pretentious, tell me quickly, what is your plan to revive the demon clan?"
