I loaded the ghost talk game

Oeyama in the modern world is located at the root of the Tango Peninsula in Kyoto Prefecture, and is a series of mountains spanning Yosano Town, Fukuchiyama City, and Miyazu City.

Starting from the north, the mountains include Nabezhong, Hatonofeng, Senjodake, and Akaishidake. Among them, Qianzhangdake is the highest peak, with an official altitude of 832.5 meters. The entire area is classified as a national park in Japan.

And because it is the birthplace of the Shuten-dōji legend, there are still many tourists visiting the Oeyama area.

Kamiya River arrived at Oeyama at night.

It is still the depth of winter in February. There are no people in the mountains, and even wild animals are dormant. Maybe they are keenly aware of any danger.

"Little old man, is this here?"

Kamiya climbed the mountains near Hatonomine, and the heat from his mouth turned into white mist.

Looking down the mountain from where he is now, he can see the villages under the mountains and rivers. The outlines of the villages are blurred and shrouded in the night, with only one or two lackluster lights exposed.

"Abba! Abba!"

Before Divine Valley starts its real-life activities tonight, one of the scout's incarnations has successfully sneaked into the world of Eternal World.

There are two worlds inside and outside. At this moment, the little old man's body and clone are in the same position.

The purpose is to find a suitable hidden place for the owner to place the sacred coffin.

It's almost here now.

"good."

Kamiya took out the blank sacred coffin and stood it on the ground.

As his thoughts moved, the small wooden sign without words quickly disappeared, as if it had been swallowed up by the thick night in the mountain forest.

At the same time, as expected, this place has become one of the landing points in the permanent world.

So--

"Ghost Story", start!

In the sight, the colors of the surrounding environment were quickly extracted, leaving only a lifeless outline. Then the black, white, and gray colors became more and more intense, and the color blocks were intertwined with each other. After a few seconds, it became stable and clear again.

Kamiyakawa looked around.

It is still the lush mountain forest of Jiu Zhifeng. It is slightly different from the space we were in just now. It is just a few more gloomy tones, but overall it is not much different.

But here is already the great country of Eternal Life.

In the dense forest, there are statues of gods and several shrines with different architectural styles, just like the totem tops in Inception, clearly indicating the difference between the two worlds.

"Abba whining!"

The little old man's voice came from his feet.

A main body dozens of centimeters tall and a clone as big as a palm, all wearing gray-brown monk robes and empty monk hats on their heads, swirling around their master.

Kamiya took out his mobile phone first, but no mission prompts from "Kaitan Monogatari" popped up.

Not every time you open an area in the regular world, there will be missions with rewards to complete. This was also the case when you used [Blank Divine Canopy] to open the Ouri Island map and the Santuchuan map.

A bit of a pity, but acceptable.

Then, Kamiyakawa turned his head and looked down the mountain.

In the current world before, looking down from this position, only sparse villages could be seen.

But now we can see that at the foot of the mountains is a large, brightly lit city.

It is square and neat, with stacked pavilions.

Looking down from a high place, you can clearly see the symmetrical layout. A main street is the central axis, running through the north and south of the city.

"That is the stronghold of the Dajiangshan monster."

Long before taking action, Kamiyakawa had heard the little old man report on the situation of the world.

So I was not surprised at all about this magnificent monster city in the valley.

In addition, the city of Oeyama seems to be similar to the real Kyoto, both of which are obviously imitation of the Tang Dynasty style during the Heian period.

Kyoto was originally built based on Chang'an City, so it was a layout of left and right countermeasures. As for the one in Oeyama, it may be a replica of Kyoto during the Heian period.

"That's not bad."

The mountain wind blew over, swaying Kamiyagawa's clothes, and pulling the falling leaves, whistling past his side. But he remained motionless, standing in the dim shadow of the mountain forest, with stern eyes, staring down at the majestic and brightly lit monster city at the foot of the mountain.

"Although I have heard the information in advance, I didn't expect it to be such a big city. After seeing it with my own eyes, let alone waiting for the big country to attack Dreamland... I even want to take the initiative to knock down this city and take it for myself. have."

Kamiyagawa, the co-master of ghosts and gods, is like this. He wants everything he sees in the ordinary world.

…

After opening the Dajiangshan dungeon, Kamiya first returned to reality and took a ghost car back to his home in Tokyo.

After returning home, he can explore the new copy without any worries.

In the bedroom, use the [Takamagahara Kamikaze] to return to the other world and reach the Hato Peak of Oeyama again.

He put on the [Ghost Leather Clothes] to cover up the human aura on his body, replacing it with a weak but definitely extraordinary aura of ghosts and gods.

This legendary item deceives ghosts and gods. As long as he has the [Ghost Leather Clothes] on him, he will appear to be a vague ghost.

There is no need to worry about your true identity being revealed.

"Let's go to Dajiangshan City for a walk."

Kamiya took out Ichimonji, called the little old man down the mountain, and asked the scout's clone to stay around the sacred coffin at Hato Peak.

It's time to explore the depths of that monster city.

There was no mountain road coming down from Jiuzhi Peak, but under the leadership of the little old man who had already figured out the surrounding situation, he traveled very quickly. In about forty minutes, he arrived at the gate of Dajiang Mountain City, and also asked the little old man to The fugitive bronze pairing has returned.

The city walls here are high and the city gates are wide open. You can see all kinds of strange stories coming and going.

Under the city wall, there stood a group of monsters with similar appearances.

They are huge in size, dressed in ragged clothes, with green or brown skin. On their chests are necklaces made of skeletons or huge strings of Buddhist beads. They have one or a pair of ghost horns on their heads, green faces and fangs, and they hold knives and sticks. They are extremely ferocious.

Ghost, or ghost clan.

In the traditional Japanese monster culture, when the word "ghost" is mentioned alone, it generally does not refer to ghosts in a ghost state, but to monsters that are large and powerful.

In the Karezu School, it seems that the teacher Kamiya Swordsman Aki Oni is taught at almost zero cost. From the appearance, he is also classified as this type of ghost story.

Considering that Shuten Doji, known as the "Ghost of Oeyama", is the leader of such ghost stories, it is speculated that Oeson, at least during the Heian Period when Shuten was active, should be mainly composed of ghosts.

Kamiya walked through the city gate amid the strange stories coming and going.

Only a few of the green ghosts and brown ghosts nearby glanced at him, but they didn't seem to care too much.

"It seems that although the forces of Dajiangshan are attacking cities and territories in Changshili, the base camp seems to be in an open state, and it does not hinder the free entry and exit of strange stories like me."

Kamiya probably felt confident.

Passing through the gate is the main street of Yokai Castle. When I looked at it from the mountain just now, I felt that this place is very similar to the layout of Kyoto.

This is even more true now that you are there.

Heian period buildings line the streets. The roof of the tiled roof has a steep slope and is curved when viewed from the front. The two ends of the ridge are decorated with owl kisses. The pavilion structure can be seen in carving, painting, metal inlay and other techniques, which is simple and elegant, yet sophisticated.

Judging from the architectural style alone, it is difficult to imagine that this is a monster stronghold.

However, the ghostly aura on the street was so strong that it formed a gray mist directly on the ground. There was no support in the sky, and a large number of paper lanterns floated out of thin air, emitting eerie firelight that was either pale or blood-red, giving the streets and alleys a strong and strange atmosphere.

These scenes clearly show that this place is definitely not a place where living people move around.

"If the formation of this big city did not originate from the direct imitation of the real Kyoto in the eternal world, but was built by the monsters in the mountains and rivers, does that mean that there are many available craftsman-type monster talents here?"

Kamiya thought to himself while looking around calmly.

After entering the city, there were more types of ghost stories around.

Several civet cats wearing bamboo hats passed by each other as they fought for the wine cups.

There was a one-legged monster with a bull's head standing at the corner of the street. Next to it lay a brown toad the size of a calf. Its broad and fat chin, covered with bumps and wart-like protrusions, moved and retracted from time to time. .

On the pavilions on the street, several faceless women, dressed in colorful clothes with their belts loosened, revealing large areas of fragrant skin covered with white powder, lazily waved to the ghosts walking on the road...

Kamiyagawa, who is wearing a leather jacket and has a vague appearance, does not look out of place at all. Instead, he blends in quite harmoniously.

Only a few people with strong senses of kaidan could detect the kaidan aura in him that seemed to be deliberately restrained, weak but not to be underestimated. This defined Kamiya as a dangerous character and took the initiative to avoid him.

"I don't know what the situation was like in Oeyama during the Heian period, but looking at this Oeyama Castle now, there are all kinds of weird stories gathered in it. There are probably more types than the area I control... It is the famous name of Oeyama Are they constantly gathering?"

"We need to understand the weird ecology here and what level the top powerhouses of this force are."

Kamiya didn’t come to Dajiangshan City just for sightseeing.

The expansion of this force is already threatening the Nara Dreamland in the south.

We need to find out their details.

Another thing is to investigate whether Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, the two well-known ghost clan monsters that I am more concerned about, still exist among the forces of Oeyama.

After wandering around the main street for a while, Kamiya found a question target that seemed very suitable——

A submissive little monk with a complexion as bright as a mountain fruit and a paper lantern in his hand.

Little monk holding a lantern.

A harmless traditional weirdo.

Legend has it that when people walk on the streets at night, they may encounter such strange stories. The lantern-carrying monk will suddenly run from behind to overtake pedestrians, then stop suddenly, then turn back and run back, just like this, running back and forth, but it will not actively harm humans. After running back and forth a few times, it will disappear.

As for the lamp-carrying monk in Dajiangshan City, his aura is so weak that he probably doesn't even have a rating.

There is a sense of peace unique to weak gentleness and strange talk about his body.

If "Kaitan Monogatari" were to judge him, it would be a neutral Kaidan.

"Hey, that little monk with the lantern." Kamiyakawa said.

The little monster on the street was called his name. He stood there at first, then turned his head, only to see a vague humanoid figure standing behind him.

"me?"

The little monster turned his head and looked left and right, then pointed at himself, timidly.

He didn't think there was anything strange about Kamiya's appearance. It was a weird story, and it was justifiable to look like that.

It's just that because this little monk with a lantern is too weak and is a low-level existence in Dajiangshan City, he will be a little scared and frightened when facing any strange stories. In addition, he was born near Dajiangshan, and there are no strange stories about foreign visits. He can't leave even if he wants to, so he can only survive here in fear.

"Yes, that's you."

Looking at the young monk's appearance, Shen Gu basically confirmed that he had good sanity.

He is sane, can speak, and is a monk.

In addition to being a good person to inquire about, it seems to be a good candidate for knocking him out and taking him back to serve as an apprentice to a candle-making monk.

But there are more important things to do now.

Kamiya took a few steps closer, took out a dozen soul crystals and shook them: "I want to ask you something."

The lamp-carrying monk looked at the small gray crystals, and his initially frightened eyes suddenly brightened.

Soul crystals are indeed the hard currency of the strange world.

The young monk looked left and right again, walked carefully to the corner of the street, collected the dozen soul crystals, and quickly stuffed them into his arms. Then he relaxed a little and said, "You look quite special. I don't think I have any." I’ve seen you, come from somewhere else?”

"Well, I'm a foreign visitor from Tokyo." Kamiya replied casually.

"Ask, if you want to know anything, I know a lot."

Regarding his reply, the lamp-carrying monk did not doubt him.

Originally, Xiao Monk's strength was very weak and he didn't have any strong perception ability.

Moreover, Kamiya River was covered by the [Oni's Leather Clothes], and there was a clear aura of ghost talk about him, but it was completely restrained and mysterious. It is impossible for Guaitan to know his true identity, and it is even less possible to judge whether he is visiting from another country.

"I just want to know where the Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji are in Oeyama. It's because I respect the name of Oeyama no Oni that I took the trouble to trek here. I want to see the elegance of the Oeyama, especially Ibaraki. Children have always been the ones I admire and learn from."

Kamiyakawa opened his mouth, and even the nonsense he said seemed to be true.

However, it's not entirely nonsense.

Ibaraki Doji is indeed the object of his study. Isn't it because he has "learned" how to use Ibaraki's Hands in a good way?

"Shuten-sama and Ibaraki-sama, of course they are in the palace." The lamp-carrying monk replied matter-of-factly.

"Really? Have you seen them?"

"How could I possibly see it?"

"Have these two adults never appeared in the city?" Kamiyakawa was keenly aware of something.

"It seems not, but I have seen Mr. Star Bear and Mr. Golden Bear from a distance. They are responsible for many things in the city."

"Ah, the Four Heavenly Kings of Dajiangshan. What about the two adults, Stone Bear and Tiger Bear?"

"Eh? Don't you know?" The lamp-carrying monk lowered his voice, "The two adults, Stone Bear and Tiger Bear, are no longer here. That one... died at the hands of the human Onmyoji a long time ago. Of course, I am just I heard that, after all, I was not born a long time ago. Also, the revival of the country is due to the efforts of two adults, Xing Xiong and Jin Xiong. I also heard people say..."

At this point, the young monk stopped talking.

"What did you hear?" Kamiya smiled and took out another handful of soul crystals and handed them to him.

"That's right. I heard that Shuten-sama and Ibaraki-sama haven't recovered from their battle with humans a long time ago, so they haven't shown up in the palace." (End of Chapter)
