"Auntie, aren't you a big shot?" Dororo blinked, puzzled, "What are you afraid of?"
"Dororo, you are still too young to understand many things...Although I have some status, there are people more noble than me in this city."
Mrs. Seam's mind flashed the image of her husband in a daze.
If that person finds these two children...
"No!"
The lady's eyes became firm: "Don't worry, I won't hurt anyone this time no matter what...Hyakkiwan!"
At this moment, there was a sound of close footsteps outside the house, and then a young boy's voice full of vigor.
"Is mother still in bed?"
Duobaowan, dressed in military uniform, led his retainers to half-kneel outside the house: "Tonight, thieves entered the mansion, and there was a little noise. I hope I didn't disturb my lord mother."
"... Duobaowan?"
Madam Seam's voice was the same as usual, even calmer and calmer.
"It's really hard for you to catch the thief at such a late hour."
"It's fine, as long as it doesn't affect your mother's rest...Since there's nothing wrong here, I'll take my leave for now."
"Well, back off, Duobao Wan."
……
"Young master?" The attendant felt that there was something wrong with Duobao Wan.
The boy who was wearing a blindfold to cover one of his eyes clenched his teeth: "That person... is in mother's room!"
"Varied--"
"Don't be so loud!"
Duobaowan took a deep breath and managed to calm down.
"If it was normal, my mother would definitely object to my arresting people personally, let alone ask me to back down with just a few words... She is afraid that I will go into the house to check the situation."
The attendant's expression was shocked: "Could it be that the mistress...but why didn't you just arrest him?"
"..."
Why?He also wanted to know.
Obviously, as long as he sends someone to surround the place tightly, that person will be unable to escape, and that kid was arrested for this day... But when the matter came to an end, he hesitated again.
To be honest, he hated Hyakkimaru, not only because of this one eye, but also because his mother regarded him as a substitute for the "dead" brother since he was a child.
but……
Duobaowan stopped and looked up at the moon in the sky with one eye.
The bright and clear moon is only one night away from growing, and it can become a full moon that symbolizes perfection... However, after one night, it will become missing again.
"Send someone to watch nearby, don't let anyone run away!
Only for tonight...only for this night, let Mother take a good look at him. "
Chapter 73 Chapter 63: You are the real Demon God!
"Hey-hey!"
"Whoo~ Whoo~"
"Haha—get up!"
"Hey!"
"what!"
As the powerful chants sounded, the muscular men, with their upper bodies naked, grabbed the wooden brackets and raised the mikoshi (mikoshi) high with a loud shout. While shouting rhythmic slogans, Under the leadership of the guide, they headed out of the city.
Wearing only loincloths in the cool north wind that had already entered autumn, these men did not feel cold at all, and beads of sweat even secreted from their flushed skin.
This is because they all drank special spirits before departure to resist the cold, and also to mobilize the blood of the living, perform performances for the gods, and pray for a good harvest in the coming year.
According to the request of Patriarch Daigo, the mikoshi had to go around the city and then pass through the temple on the lonely mountain outside the city before returning.
Sitting on the shrine is a statue of a woman with white face and round eyebrows, wearing a gorgeous kimono, riding on a huge fox... No, I thought it was a statue, but as the men walked around, the woman on the wooden fox suddenly moved up.
The soft limbs drive the large kimono, and occasionally reveal the extremely white arms and thighs. The woman's boneless dancing posture attracts everyone's attention. A dance of prayer in which the gods exist.
That is what the world often calls "Kagura".
And this dancer is the priestess of Inari God Uga, who will perform on the shrine until the end of the ceremony.
I don’t know how many civilians have been attracted by this rare Kagura dance. No matter adults or children, men, women and children, there are thousands of people wearing various masks or self-made fancy costumes, just like the Japanese version of Halloween. Mikoshi walked out of the city.
... On a rooftop somewhere in the city, Lin Ye frowned as he watched the group of demons dancing wildly.
"For some reason, these give me a bad feeling."
"Me too."
Wuming, who was wrapped in a bandage on his left forearm, replied: "But I can't say why... offering sacrifices to the gods is not unusual, although the lord is indeed generous, and the scale of the ceremony is a bit larger."
"That's not a generous man, as far as I know."
Lin Ye said thoughtfully: "Something will happen today! Maybe this is your last chance."
"I hope so, but..."
Wuming glanced worriedly at the parade out of the city: "If there is a commotion, I'm afraid many innocent people will be involved..."
"Unfortunately, this is beyond our control." Lin Ye looked back at the tallest building in the city in the distance, "In fact, everything depends on what the lord wants to do."
-
What does Daigo Jingguang want to do, or what does he want to achieve?
The answer is simple: the world!
Although Daigo is not a direct descendant of Hera and Genji, he can be regarded as a branch if he has to say it. As a daimyo in troubled times, he also has his own ambitions and beliefs, and he is not satisfied with the status of the lord of a country and a city , but targeting the shogun!
This obsession has affected his entire life, and made him go crazy for it, otherwise he would not have sacrificed his eldest son in order to get the help of the demon.
However, it is a pity that these 48 demon gods are only monsters lurking in the mountains, forests and rivers after all, not the real "devil gods" who can determine the general situation of the world.Even with their help, it can only bless the Daigo country with good weather, but it is not so easy to annex the surrounding countries.
He is over 40 this year (looks like 61), and in this era where the average life expectancy is ridiculously short, he has already been called a "longevity". I don't know how much time is left to fulfill his ambition.
In other words, he couldn't wait any longer, he had to get the power to calm the world now!
Or, long enough to allow him to accumulate enough strength to live!
The power of the demon god alone is not enough, what he really needs is the elixir of life, and the luck that this elixir symbolizes from the Central Plains Dynasty!
No matter who stood in front of him, he would ruthlessly eradicate him, no matter if it was the resurrected eldest son or the so-called heavenly envoy.
Hmph, as long as the power of Japan can be combined, even if the Yuan Dynasty crosses the sea for four times, it will definitely be defeated by Kamikaze again!
—— Daigo Jingguang secretly cheered for himself.
Naturally, it is very dangerous for a small country to offend a big country, but now Daigo Jingguang can't care about such long-term things, he only cares about whether the immediate plan can be successful.
If he can really get the elixir of life smoothly, does that mean that he also has the "destiny"?
Perhaps at that time, it is not that he is waiting for the Yuan Dynasty to invade, but that he gathers warriors from all over the country to conquer Korea (one of the vassal states of the Yuan Dynasty) across the sea!
"When will it start..."
The elite warriors who could be mobilized in a short period of time had all been assembled in the city. There were as many as 500 people, which was already the limit of the Daigo country. If there were any more, the border would be completely undefended.
In that case, in this era, you are simply seducing others to beat yourself!
With 500 soldiers, if auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands are added, the full mobilization may be close to 5000 people... But this time it is not a real war, and there is really no need for auxiliary soldiers.
Now they are all under the command of Daigo Jingguang, and he himself is fully armed and rides on the horse after a long absence, but his heart is still a little anxious.
In the face of this huge force, no matter whether it is the special envoy of the Yuan Dynasty or that damned monster, they will all be reduced to powder in the end!
What he is nervous and anxious about is whether the elixir of life can be made. Before he confirms the success, he will not dare to attack the Tianshou Pavilion (Chengtian Terrace) even if he has an army of [-].
The time agreed by Bai Luan was at the time of "encountering the devil": when the sun's brilliance receded but the sky and the earth were not completely dark, and the world fell into a blur and chaos.
——that is, the so-called "twilight".
At such a time, the boundary between human and non-human existence is blurred, and supernatural events often occur, and it is also the easiest time to "deceive God's will" and create the elixir of life.
The demon god who signed the contract with Daigo is to complete the ceremony of the Yuga Soul Sacrifice before dusk, relying on the power of the faith of thousands of locals to communicate with the earth, and supplemented by the power of the night walk of the ghosts, to steal the elixir of life A wisp of luck!
Therefore, before dusk comes, Daigo Jingguang can only wait quietly...
At this moment, Daigo Jingguang suddenly felt that the surroundings were noisy, and a dark cloud seemed to float in the sky, dimming the light.
But gradually, the surrounding voices became louder and louder, and it could even be described as panic. The Daigo warriors he was proud of now looked at the sky like frightened rabbits, and some even knelt down directly, holding their hands together. Heshi, shivering, not knowing what he was talking about.
"Bastard! How decent, give it to me—"
When the words were normal, Daigo Jingguang suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he quickly raised his head to look, but his pupils suddenly shrank.
"That, that is..."
In the originally clear and cloudless sky, the huge golden disc exuded endless light and heat as in the past, but now a round of arc-shaped shadows appeared beside it, making it look as if it had been trapped It was like a beast had bitten.
And, over time, the gap has grown wider...
"It's God's punishment! It's the gods and Buddhas who are angry!"
"Amitabha! Amitabha!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
In this era, no matter how brave soldiers are, they cannot face this strange celestial phenomenon. To them, this is the most terrifying punishment from heaven!
"Uh, uh... this!"
Daigo Jingguang managed to stay awake. He didn't kneel down like the others, but he was too shocked to speak.
[Damn it, we were deceived!These cunning Yuan Dynasty people! 】
The voice of the Demon God resounded in his mind, making Daigo Jingguang reluctantly come back to his senses.
"What, what's wrong?"
[It's a solar eclipse!The time they talk about is not dusk at all, but a solar eclipse! 】
The voice of the Demon God was deafening in Daigo Jingguang's ears.
[They have already started refining medicine!
My Hundred Ghosts Night Walk is too late...the dragon veins have not communicated, and they can't shake the luck of the great country at all...
After the solar eclipse is over, inject the blood of the medicine, and the elixir of life will be completed, and the luck on it will only last for a short time-you have no time to snatch it! 】
"so what should I do now?!"
Ambition and desire overwhelmed the fear of the solar eclipse, Daigo Jingguang asked viciously: "No matter what, I want to get the elixir of youth and the spirit of the emperor!"
【...Okay, as long as you haven't given up, there is a way... That's right, it's the only way to do it now. 】
The Demon God said slowly in a low voice——
[Sacrifice your people to me, Daigo Jingguang!
The greater the number, the faster the connection to the earth veins will be, and the elixir will be formed! 】
"..."
[Really, indeed, even a person like you is the lord of a country after all, if you are asked to sacrifice your own people, it is inevitable that you will--]
"What are you hesitating about?"
Daigo Jingguang interrupted him and said, "Why don't you do anything?!"
【…】
"No one knows how long the eclipse will last. What if it fails?"
【...Okay, how much do you plan to sacrifice? 】
"As long as you can catch up with the time, you can take as much as you need. Except for the ashigaru (soldiers) here and the young and strong in the city, it doesn't matter even if the whole city is sacrificed!"
Daigo Jingguang shouted sharply: "Anyway, untouchables are like weeds on the side of the road, no matter how you cut them, they will grow again! As long as there is food, are you afraid that you won't be able to attract people?!"
