I, Nurarihyon, the Lord of All Monsters

The monk Natto, who was mopping the floor in the corridor, saw Crow Tengu flying hurriedly over his head and shouted,"Master Crow Tengu, the general is playing chess with the first generation in the tea room."

"Tea room! Tea room!"

The crow turned around and flew to the tea room in the courtyard.

"Hehehe, Koiban, how about my long snake formation?"

The old sly ghost in a brown kimono sat in front of the chessboard and played against Nurarihyon Koiban.

"Old man, your long snake formation is indeed powerful, but if I set up a long snake formation first, how will you respond?"

Nurarihyon laughed, pinched a black chess piece between his fingers, and placed it on the chessboard.

"you!"

""Stinky boy, why don't you play chess according to the routine?"

The old sly ghost saw that the four black chess pieces on the chessboard were already formed, but he was busy setting up his long snake formation without paying attention to the beginning and the end.

It was obviously too late to block it now.

"Old man, your Gobang is no match for mine."

Nurarihyon showed no mercy, and the fifth black chess piece fell, winning the game directly.

"One more round, one more round. This time I’ll try the bullfighting formation!"

"No formation works."

"Besides... Crow Tengu seems to have something to do with me."

Nurarihyon stood up and walked to the door of the tea room.

Sure enough,

Crow Tengu flew over in a hurry.

"Hey, Crow Tengu, your feathers have grown out."Nurarihyon leaned against the door and raised his hand to greet

"Yes, it has grown. Oh no, the feathers are not the point, the point is the information."

"General, there is news about the Penglai Island you are looking for!"

"But my children said there are two Penglai Islands, and I don’t know which one is real and which one is fake."

Crow Tengu said hurriedly

"Two Penglai Islands?"

Nurarihyon held one hand in his arms and touched his chin with the other hand, his dark golden eyes flashing with thought.

He thought that even if there was a Penglai Island in this world, it was probably the Penglai Island in"Inuyasha: Crimson Lotus Penglai Island". He never expected that there were not only Penglai Islands, but also two.

Nurarihyon asked slowly:"Where are the two Penglai Islands located and what are their respective characteristics?" Crow Tengu replied:"The two Penglai Islands are all located overseas"

"A place that is completely hidden by a powerful barrier above the vast ocean. It will only appear in the thick fog every fifty years, near the Kingdom of the West."

"Another Penglai Island was discovered by the shogunate. It is even more mysterious. Its exact location is unknown. It should only be known by the shogunate's top brass."

"I heard from the children that the Tokugawa Shogun called the Penglai Island the Land of Immortals and was planning to send people to the island again to search for the elixir of immortality."

""Oh~"

Nurarihyon touched his chin, with an interested look in his eyes.

Anyway, he was sure that the Penglai Island that appeared once every fifty years was the Penglai Island in"Inuyasha".

As for the Penglai Island discovered by the Tokugawa Shogunate, Nurarihyon also had a guess, but he was not completely sure.

Crow Tengu continued:"The children said that the Tokugawa Shogun and other high-ranking officials are already on the riverbank of the Sumida River, selecting people to land on the island, and are about to prepare to go to sea"

"General, do you need me to send a few monsters to go out to sea with them?"

"No"

"It's such an interesting thing, so naturally I should go there in person."

Nurarihyon smiled and waved his hand.

""But General, the beginning of summer is almost here."

Crow Tengu said worriedly.

As a backbone of the Nura clan, he certainly knew that Nurarihyon, a half-demon, would become an ordinary human in the summer.

In previous years, Crow Tengu personally arranged monsters to protect Nurarihyon's safety. Nurarihyon glanced with his golden eyes and said disapprovingly:"Crow Tengu, do you think that after I become a human, I will be an ordinary person who is powerless?"

"this……"Crow Tengu is really unsure.

As the lord of demons and monsters, Nurarihyon has indeed reached the pinnacle of monsters.

But no one knows how much strength the lord of all monsters has left after becoming a human.

"Besides, isn’t there still a few days left until the beginning of summer?"

"How long would it take to go to the so-called fairyland to find the elixir of immortality?"

"The most important point is that, apart from you and the little monsters, most of the monsters in our family have gathered here because of the fear of the world. They are in seclusion and training, and are about to break through. There is no suitable candidate to go to the island for the time being."

After Nurarihyon's remarks, Crow Tengu nodded hesitantly.

"With the strength of the general, there is no danger in going to the fairyland of Penglai Island."

"No, looking at the whole world, I am afraid there is nothing that can threaten the general."

"In this case, please be careful."

"Hahaha, don't worry."

Nurarihyon waved his hand calmly, turned around and walked out of the tea room, and came to the viewing corridor in the courtyard.

He stepped on his toes and jumped into the air. His loose kimono fluttered and rustled. His slender figure was like a cloud of black smoke, which was blown away by the dry summer breeze.

……

Sumida River.

A flat river beach full of gravel, with a field surrounded by four huge white curtains.

Outside the curtains.

Elite warriors wearing armor and holding swords are stationed with serious faces.

Inside the curtains.

The shogun is sitting on a makeshift wooden platform, with two tall and burly guards standing beside him. In front of him is a reed screen, which blocks the sight of the"servants" and reflects the nobility of the shogun, creating a sense of mystery and distance. Around the wooden platform

, there is a famous family, Yamada Asaemon, who has served as sword testers and executioners for generations.

And in the open space surrounded by white curtains, a group of people of all kinds are kneeling.

They wear hemp ropes on their heads, white cloths on their faces, and shackles on their hands and feet. They are all people sentenced to death!

At this time.

The retainer beside the shogun shouted,"You are all sentenced to death and should have been beheaded in public, but the shogun is magnanimous and will give you a chance to escape death."

As he said this, the retainer picked up a scroll that he had prepared in advance and showed it to the condemned criminals under the wooden platform.

"Do you know what this is? This is a public certificate of immunity!"

"This is the document of the General's promise. No matter how serious the crime you have committed, you will be acquitted. As soon as the words fell, the condemned people kneeling in front of the wooden platform immediately set off an uproar.

"Oh oh oh, is this true? Can you be acquitted of any crime?"

"I'm a murderer who has killed hundreds of people. Hey, you said you can let me go without charge, right?"

"Killing a hundred people is nothing. I once sneaked into Edo Castle and tried to assassinate the shogun, but was convicted of a heinous crime."

"Acquitted, is there really such a good thing in the world?"

Many condemned criminals asked loudly.

The retainer sneered and replied:"The document contains the promise of the general's protection, how can it be false?"

"Besides, the general is here in person, sitting right here, how can he deceive you, a bunch of condemned criminals?"

"When they say they are acquitted, of course they are really acquitted."

"But there is only one copy of the pardon, which will be given to a condemned criminal who brought back the elixir from the island."

"In addition, the number of ships going out to sea and the number of people being beheaded were very limited. Only ten death row criminals were qualified to land on the island."

"The rest……"

Before the retainer could finish his words

, a tall and burly condemned criminal stood up suddenly, like a bear, strong and ferocious, and immediately raised a stone bigger than a millstone and smashed a condemned criminal next to him to death. The bright red blood splashed on the gravel on the river beach.

The tall and burly condemned criminal said with a grim smile:"The rest of them, just kill them!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Hahaha, I love killing the most~"

Another murderer laughed crazily, quickly stood up, pounced on the nearby murderer, opened his mouth and bit the other's neck artery, and blood spurted out immediately.

"There is only one copy of the Public Certificate of Indemnity, which means that if I kill all of you, the Public Certificate of Indemnity will belong to me alone."

"Unexpectedly, there was an appetizer before landing on the island."

""As fellow criminals, you are so weak!"

It was like Pandora's box was opened.

None of the criminals on the ground had any mercy, and they all killed the criminals around them. (To read the violent novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

A bloody and cruel killing took place on the riverbank of the Sumida River.

The humid air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

"Tokugawa Ieyoshi, I haven't seen you for a month, and your bad taste is still as bad as ever"

"

Previously , they had ninjas slaughtering each other in Edo Castle, and now they have a group of condemned criminals slaughtering each other.[]

A calm and leisurely voice sounded beside the wooden platform.

A young man wearing a brown kimono and a black haori appeared out of nowhere in front of the wooden platform and sat on it carelessly."Who are you?" The many executioners guarding the wooden platform were suddenly startled and drew their swords.

The retainer relied on the power of the shogunate and shouted,"How dare you call the general by his name!""

"What's wrong with the samurai outside? Why did they let a stranger with a sword break into the Shogun's presence?"

Tokugawa Ieyoshi, who was sitting behind the reed screen, saw the young man's appearance and was immediately shocked. He kicked away the retainer who was pretending to be powerful and shouted:"Don't be rude! Don't be rude!"

"This is Lord Nura, the shogun's distinguished guest. Everyone, put away your swords quickly!"

Tokugawa Ieyoshi immediately climbed up from the cushion, hurriedly walked out of the screen, came to Nura Koiban, and said with a smile on his face:"Lord Nura, why are you in the Sumida River?"

Nura Koiban said straight to the point:"I heard that your shogunate found a Penglai Island, so I came here specially to take a look."

Tokugawa Ieyoshi was shocked and asked quickly:"Is Lord Nura also interested in the elixir of immortality?"

"But those are just rumors, don't take them seriously."

"What?"

Nurarihyon's golden eyes casually glanced at Tokugawa Ieyoshi.

"Are you reluctant to give me the elixir of immortality?"

With a loud bang.

With just one look, Tokugawa Ieyoshi, who controlled the world and held a high position of power, was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, shaking his head with a pale face:"Ieyoshi dare not"

"In fact, Ieyoshi was going to personally deliver the elixir to Nura-sama after he found it."

"Hehe, then you are thoughtful."Nurarihyon smiled indifferently.

At the same time, the surrounding retainers and beheading executioners were all dumbfounded.

In their impression, Tokugawa Ieyoshi was the general of the Tokugawa shogunate, who was above the emperor and had tremendous power and majesty. He was moody and changeable, and the life and death of ten, a hundred, or a thousand people depended on his thoughts.

As a result, such a powerful person was so humble and flattering in front of the gloomy and handsome young man. It was simply... unbelievable.

The contrast was too great!

Could it be that the young man in front of them had a higher status than the emperor and was the real ruler behind the Tokugawa shogunate?

Everyone was guessing the true identity of Nurarihyon.

And some of the condemned criminals who were being killed in the open field also noticed the peculiarity of Nurarihyon.

"Even the Shogun is in awe of this person?"

"If we catch him and threaten Tokugawa Ieyoshi, I can pardon his death sentence even if he doesn't have to go to the island!"

"Haha, these idiots, do they think it is so easy to go to the island and find the elixir of immortality?"

"The elixir and the fairyland are illusory things. If you can't find them, you will die!" 727

"Let's give it a try!!"

Instantly, a few condemned criminals had a fierce look in their eyes, pretending to kill, but suddenly changed their target and rushed towards Nurarihyon.���Rush over

""Master, be careful!"

A cold and sharp cry sounded.

The flowing ponytail swung in front of Nurarihyon.

A girl wearing a black haori and a white modified samurai kimono flashed in front of Nurarihyon, and immediately drew the sword from her waist and swung it down. Without any hesitation, she instantly slashed at the criminal who was trying to kill her.

""Swish!"

A cold white blade flashed.

The condemned man fell to the ground, his head rolling on the gravel beach for a few times, and blood gushed out from the wound on his neck.

"Oh?"

Nurarihyon remained calm, with a gleam in his eyes.

A girl of sixteen or seventeen years old could be so bold in killing?

That's rare.

Nurarihyon asked curiously,"What's your name?"

The girl with ponytail swung her sword, shook off the blood on the sword, put it back into the scabbard, then bowed to Nurarihyon and said,"Sir, my name is Yamada Asaemon Sakiri."

"Yamada Asaemon?……"

Nurarihyon groaned.

She is indeed the heroine of"Hell Music".

Calculate the time background

《The story of"Hell Music" did take place in the Edo period.

It seems that the so-called Hourai Island is real.

Tokugawa Ieyoshi saw Nura Koiban looking at Yamada Asaemon Sakiri and mistakenly thought that she was the Lord of All Monsters. He admired her very much, so he observed her expression and said:"Yamada Asaemon Sakiri, you don't have to be the executor of the beheading. In the mission of searching for the elixir of immortality in the fairyland, you only need to protect Lord Nura!"

The ponytail girl in white clothes heard this, responded, and bowed again:"Please give me more advice, Lord Nura!"

"Hehe, protect me?"

Nurarihyon laughed and nodded,"Then my personal safety is in your hands."

"Please rest assured, Lord Nura. Although Sakiri is a woman, she ranks 12th in the Trial Sword Ryu and is as strong as several seniors."Yamada Asaemon Sakiri said confidently.

Looking at her, she didn't seem to be troubled by the karma of killing people as in the original book.

At this time, the killing in the field had ended, and only ten dead criminals were left standing on the bloody river beach with corpses everywhere.

They were: the strongest ninja of the Ishigakure——""The Careless Browsing Pill"!

The Female Ninja"The Master's Rod""——Bang!

The traitor"Mountain Man""——Ru Hai!

"Thief King"——Yazue Diaobei!

"The great swordsman known as the"Eight States Unparalleled Sword Dragon" - Minaya Yantetsui!
