Under Qing Xiao's inquiry, the witch soon explained the reason.

The Obon Festival is coming, it is a day when a hundred ghosts will appear and demons dance wildly. In order to protect the safety of the village, this witch carefully surveyed the traces of monsters around and found many bad signs. Finally, she was in the A monster got the news from his mouth.

The shaman's expression was dignified, but the eyes on the wrinkled face were very bright: "There are many traces of monsters haunting, and villagers in the nearby villages are gradually disappearing. This place is barren and barren, and it is not a place that monsters like. They haunt so frequently. Just for one thing."

The old witch sighed deeply, and slowly spit out a noun: "They are going to hold...Hyakki Night Parade."

Hundred ghosts at night?

Qing Xiao chinned silently, this word is so famous, not only has she seen many works, she has even played many game activities with the theme of "Hyakki Night Walk", and even played a game of "Hyakki Night Walk" where handsome guys flirt with girls.

Thinking of this game, the girl's expression is a bit subtle.

But the Miko's next words made her understand that the Hyakki Yakura in this world is completely different from the games or anime she has been in contact with.

"Not every Obon Festival will have a night parade of ghosts. Only when they encounter events worthy of celebration will they appear, mostly because of the emergence of a powerful king who conquered many monsters."

"Under the leadership of the king, the monsters gathered together to celebrate the disaster. The degree of danger is related to the leading monster. If the king has a little kindness, some people can be left alive, but this rarely happens. The Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts..."

The witch closed her eyes, sighed and said, "Wherever you go, you must kill people for pleasure and cook people for food. Human blood is the wine they celebrate festivals, and human flesh is their delicacy."

"The villages that have been ravaged by the night walk of the ghosts will only be left with dry bones, and the resentment will last for a long time, and finally turn into new monsters."

Following the witch's words, many cruel scenes appeared in Qing Xiao's mind, and she suddenly remembered the night when she came to this world.

Although she just rescued the mother and child casually, she still remembers Asahiba's terrified face, the boy's shocking wounds, and the monster's unscrupulous and teasing attitude.

Just as she had predicted, the human beings in this world are indeed like roadside grass and trees, and fish on a chopping board. She pursed her lips with a tinge of dissatisfaction in her heart.

"The monsters spawned by the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts are often very powerful and irrational, but for some reason, such monsters always like to go to Heianjing."

"That's why the emperor ordered that once the night walk of the ghosts is discovered, it must be stopped, but this order is not to reduce the killing of monsters, but because resentment will form new monsters."

"There are too many monsters walking in the night. July and a half is the time when the monsters are rampant. Even the adults in Heianjing are seriously injured or even killed by these monsters. So now, they often wait for the big monsters to have fun. Then find a way to appease the resentment, or simply destroy the monsters born from the resentment."

Qing Xiao asked: "Then what about the dead?"

The witch said calmly: "As for these ordinary people, they will die as soon as they die. They don't care about this."

What she said was cruel, but there was only calm after accepting her fate in her words.

Qing Xiao frowned: "So they don't care about it?? Aren't they afraid that people will die??? No one farms for them, do they drink northwest wind?"

"Adults are joking, there are spiritual arts, how can they eat ordinary food grown by ordinary people." The witch shook her head.

Qing Xiao was at a loss for words, and insisted: "I don't believe that there are so many onmyojis who can support the entire Ping'an capital. If they don't eat, what about their family servants? Do they all eat with him?!"

The girl sharply pointed to the key point: "What about their clothes? What about the house? Even if onmyojis eat special food... what about salt? Firewood? I don't believe these onmyojis dig ink to draw symbols by themselves, or Say they don't even know how to grind ink with their own hands!"

This time it was the witch's turn to be speechless. Indeed, as the girl said, onmyojis would eat special food, but others still needed to be offered by ordinary people.

"Are they just eating the villagers' offerings and watching them die?! What's the difference between them and monsters?!"

These words pierced Miko's heart like a sharp knife, making her unable to answer for a long time.

The witch mother-in-law said nothing more, sighed, and lowered her eyes.

There was a subtle silence in the air, Qing Xiao was not used to it, she turned her head to look out, and suddenly met two bright round eyes - it was the little girl brought by the village entrance witch.

Although he was in a bad mood, seeing such a cute little loli, Qing Xiao subconsciously smiled at her and waved silently.

The little girl who secretly peeked at her was startled, and immediately shrank behind the door. It seemed that this little girl was still a little shy.

Looking back at the old man, Qing Xiao waited for her to recover from her own thoughts.

Based on what she said, Qing Xiao thoroughly understood what the book said about 'human life is as cheap as grass'. It seems that she has really come to an era that is incompatible with her.

With another long sigh, the witch continued: "Of course, not all adults will just sit and watch the Hyakki Night Walk happen. In the past, some distinguished adults were injured or even...sacrificed in order to protect the villagers."

"Indeed, even the most hateful class will have their betrayers. This is the cuteness of human nature... Forget about this." Qing Xiao was a little irritable, picked up the teacup and took a sip. The taste was bitter, not so much It is better to say that it is tea leaves soaked in water, which is bland and tasteless.

"Let's talk about the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts."

Although she couldn't understand the vocabulary in Qing Xiao's words, she probably understood what she meant.

The old man's expression slowed down, became gentle and calm, and he picked up the teacup: "So, when I saw you arriving so quickly, my lord, I mistakenly thought that you were a lord sent by Heianjing, and that's why I made such a disrespectful behavior, so that my lord You are in trouble."

In fact, the witch really hoped that the girl would stay and save the village, but now she knew that, without saying anything, the young adult would naturally stay.

Qing Xiao decided to inquire about the specific situation first, and then think about it.

Then he asked himself the doubts he had just now: "How do you know I'm here?"

Is it discovered in advance?Or a hunter tipped off?The girl is curious.

"My lord, you are joking, your spiritual power is so pure and powerful, how could I not sense it?"

This is not the first time the witch has commented on her spiritual power. The girl blinked and asked in a low voice, "Can you see it?"

"This is the most basic ability of our witches. Otherwise, how would you serve God, and you have no secrets about your aura, isn't it just to tell us that you are coming?"

"Huh? Can you still hide it?"

"Big... man? Don't you know?"

After an oolong explanation, this Mengxin finally knew the reason why he didn't see a single chicken feather

——She was full of spiritual power without concealment, like a big bright light bulb. Ordinary animals were intimidated by this spiritual power, and obviously fled away immediately.

"But compared to the spiritual power on your body, the sword you carry is more powerful. From it, I seem to feel the power of tyranny and destruction." The witch said.

Qing Xiao: "..." The reason that prevents her from dating fried chicken 100% has been found!September you traitor!

The undisguised spiritual power is like directly telling the monsters that there is a powerful spiritual power user here, which can be used to warn the monsters, but it will also attract some big monsters.

Qing Xiao was able to walk to this village without incident, which means that the monsters in the vicinity should not be able to beat her, so except for a few naive, most of them dare not come up to make trouble.

As for the first few mountain mallets that didn't escape, they could only be classified as spicy chickens that couldn't even sense spiritual power.

The witch didn't expect that this young adult didn't even know such common sense. Obviously she wasn't an onmyoji from Heian-kyo, but the aura contained in her body was extremely powerful, maybe it had other origins.

Knowing that Qing Xiao knew nothing about the use of spiritual power, the witch decided to take the initiative to teach her the basic methods of using spiritual power, and at the same time lent Qing Xiao the books in the shrine to read.

After a few days of meticulous guidance and improvement, Qing Xiao's use of spiritual power was a little more subtle, and she also learned how to hide her breath. The time for using spiritual power was extended from eight days to ten days.

There are not many books in the shrine, except for the priestess' own inheritance, which cannot be read. There are only two books introducing monsters and one introducing spiritual power. Qing Xiao decisively took out the claw camera and took pictures of these books for future review.

There are many monsters living in this land, and there are no types, but there are mainly several types of monsters.

One is the onmyoji who learns Yin-Yang Dao, the other is Shinto priestesses and priests, the third is Buddhist monks, and the rest are mostly wild people who do not know how to do it, and even some warriors who rely on swordsmanship to kill demons.

Regardless of whether the witch did these things to let herself stay, Qing Xiao has already kept this kindness in her heart.

A few days later,.

Qing Xiao confessed to the witch that she wanted to help her, but she didn't know if she was capable enough. After all, all ghosts travel at night, and she only has one sword and one sword.

The girl said sincerely, "I think... I can't help you."

But at this time, the old man changed his mind.

The witch bowed deeply, and said with a gentle smile: "My lord, it is very good if you have this kind of heart, but the night tour of the ghosts is very dangerous, please take the mother and child and leave as soon as possible. I don't need you to do these things. You don't have to worry about anything in return."

"You can do more things in the future, why waste your life here."

At such a young age, she already possesses strong spiritual power and a rare pure heart. Miko hopes that she can grow up and save more people, instead of dying in the current disaster.

Hearing this, Qing Xiao suddenly thought of Ma Zhiye.

This great mother finally escaped from the man-eating village and the monsters, and then she has to face such a cruel disaster as the Hyakki Night Walk. Even if Qing Xiao can stop most of the monsters, how can she guarantee her survival? How about going down?

The author has something to say: Author Ba Ba Ba: Recently I am playing a great game, Destiny 2.

For the first time, I feel that a copy of a game can be so beautiful, not simply exquisite or gorgeous, but magnificent and full of the beauty of the interstellar future.

When I stood on the mottled white rock, looked at the delicate circuit panel exposed by the peeling of the rock, looked at the endless sea of ​​clouds, in which there were strange buildings surrounded by electronic programs, and huge stars suspended in the sky, I felt a kind of feeling in my heart. Unspeakable shock.

So beautiful!I don't even want to do missions anymore, I just want to live in the dungeon, whether it is the scorching earth core, the huge spaceship, the high tower in the void, the light in the depths of the netherworld, everywhere reveals the magnificent beauty, you can see it Understand, whether the universe is dark, dark blue or starry sea, it is worthy of human desire.
