Chapter 227 Yoshitsune

   Kanazaki near the border between Echizen and Omi.

   This is a difficult terrain with a complex terrain formed by dense forests and towering mountains. The mountains are rugged and steep, and only the animal road can prove that there are still people who come and go here.

   On this night, the moon was looming behind the dark clouds, and while the night was dark, three uninvited guests broke into this forest.

"Is the old man here and won't come back?" Riding on a tall and strong black horse, he stretched out his hand to gently stroke the horse to comfort him. Gu Mo stared at the incomparably dense and towering mountain forest in front of him. The more I feel the darkness and depression.

Mountains are the dividing line that divides the world of human beings and monsters. This kind of uninhabited mountains and fields are completely undeveloped and wild places. The dangerous geographical environment has become a natural barrier. If it's a big guy, that's normal.

   Even as he went deeper and deeper into the forest, even the horses under his seat began to feel uneasy.

  The instincts of animals are more sensitive than the perception of ordinary humans, and the faint demonic aura that permeates the mountains and forests makes the horses feel scared and shrink, and almost stop.

   "It is said that it is here, my father should not want to disturb the Echizen side, and quietly entered the mountain from this path..."

The second lady said with a tired face, she originally thought that her father was staying well in Lushan City, but she did not expect that the other party would not be able to rest, and she came directly to the mountain in front of her for no reason, and then It's gone forever, and there is no audio.

   By the time Inabayama Castle got the news, some time had passed.

   Hide Chiyo also had a worried expression on his face, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn along the way.

   "Let's search along the road and see. According to the results of the divination, the situation is not that bad..." Gu Mo calmly comforted him, but at the same time he was a little speechless.

  The old man just needs to take care of his old age, so why not admit defeat.

He could probably imagine what was going on. Before coming to Mino, he had asked Saito Michizō about the whereabouts of the former demon slayer organization, because there was no plot about contemporary "ignorance". There was no one in the blacksmith village on the other side of the mountain.

   But Chu Yeyamaru's sword was in that woman's hand.

   So Gu Mo thought about it, and wondered if the old father-in-law, the former "ignorant" of the previous generation, had a way to contact Chu Yeyazhong.

As a result, there is no way to do it. The old man and the former demon slayer organization have long since cut off contact. It has been decades before I know it, and there is no way to help... This matter It had already ended here, Gu Mo felt that he would find another opportunity later.

   But I didn't expect that the old man didn't know if he refused to admit defeat, or because he recalled what happened in the past, he actually set off and set off here.

   Looking at the dense mountains and forests in front of him, and the steep mountains in the distance under the night like giant beasts across the earth, he sighed in his heart. I actually know something about this place. The former village of Chu Yeyazhong was indeed located in the deep mountains, but it has long been abandoned.

  The news of the old man is less well-informed than himself...

   came over as soon as he patted his head, but fell into it instead...

Continue to move forward, the mountain road becomes more rugged and tortuous, winding forward like a snake. One side is a deep stream shrouded in clouds and mist, and it is like a dark abyss under the moonlight. Dense mountain forests, with broken sturdy trees lying on the side of the road.

  I don’t know what broke it, and the traces left are extremely amazing. It must be a huge and heavy behemoth.

   "Get off the horse, there is no way to ride past."

   Seeing the road ahead from a distance, Gu Mo took the lead to restrain the reins and slow down, then turned over and dismounted. Even if the horses were not frightened by the increasingly strong demonic energy, the road ahead had become very dangerous.

   Falling from such a high place is no joke, horses will fall to their death...

   But there is no problem with people, only the world where horses get hurt is complete.

  The two girls were silent, and they also got off their horses, tying the horses to the nearby trees like him. The three tall and sturdy horses snorted and kicked their hooves back and forth uneasy, and the surrounding darkness made them uneasy.

  Gu Mo took out three talismans from his sleeves and flicked them gently.

   The originally fluttering charm was like a sharp dart, it flew out with a swoosh and plunged straight into the darkness in three directions.

There was no abnormal phenomenon, but Gu Mo was only temporarily making a defensive position. After the magic talisman, he took out a cut out paper figurine, as if it was hanging on a nearby branch, and then clapped his hands: "Okay, let's go into the mountain."

   The two girls who looked like twins looked at each other and followed silently.

  …………

  …

   The night is getting darker.

Especially in this mountain forest, for some reason, it seems to have completely become a dark world isolated from the rest of the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that you can't see your fingers. The moonlight seems to be completely unable to cast through the gaps in the dense forest. No.

   Depressed.

   Extremely depressing.

The three of them didn't say anything, they just continued to walk through the mountains and forests where they could hardly find the road, as if they didn't realize that after they traveled for a while, the surrounding environment became more and more abnormal. He noticed it but didn't say anything.

   "Chong Xiao..."

Walking in the darkness, Gu Mo softly recited the name. Amid this powerful demonic energy and the shroud of Chang darkness, he remembered the identity of the Lord of Chang darkness entrenched in this scene. A huge owl-shaped monster capable of creating darkness.

   Not long after entering this forest, it seems that he has entered the realm of this powerful monster.

   He now feels as if he is immersed in a deep black sea, surrounded by pure darkness. His ordinary visual ability has lost its meaning. Only by cooperating with other forms of perception can he continue to act normally and know the surrounding environment.

   And the second young lady in the back heard his voice very keenly, and frowned in the darkness and asked, "Do you think it's Chongxiao? I've heard of this kind of monster..."

Although she can't see too many things now, she uses hearing, breath perception, and the slight vibration of the ground to confirm the precise position of the two people in front, but she still looks around habitually. At the same time, he whispered softly:

   "But it is said that this kind of thing is formed by a large number of undead, and it looks like a monster in the shape of an owl. How can such a thing appear here?"

   "It's also normal, indicating that there are conditions for birth here..." Gu Mo replied, "Otherwise you would think that the third old man came to look for something, he went out from here in the first place."

   The original base camp of Chu Yeyazhong was located here, but now the village in the deep mountains has been abandoned, and only the ruins of the past remain.

The demon masters are naturally not willing to give up the base camp, but they were almost immediately slaughtered by the monsters. The countless ghosts who died here have also assembled into the current kind of Chongxiao... But to be able to create such a vast dark realm, Covering the mountains and forests in one place, this strange bird may be stronger than imagined.

  Gu Mo was also watching carefully, trying to find the only light in the darkness. If three giant blood-red eyes appeared in the sky, it should be where Chong Xiao was.

   just didn’t find it—

I don't know if it's because his experience comes from game mechanics, and it's not like this in the real world; or because the Chong Xiao's constant dark domain covers a huge area. into its realm.

"Father……"

  The second lady frowned, did your father go out from here?

  Whoa! !

At this moment, there was a particularly obvious movement in front, as if a foul-smelling wind was blowing up, and it was as if something was rampaging in the forest, knocking off countless vine branches, and slaughtered fiercely, followed by ... everything came to an abrupt end.

   Hidechiyo, who was walking in front, didn't stop at all, as if he wasn't slowed down at all, and only heard a slight crash of the knife being sheathed.

   The two people walking behind didn't care at all, and walked past the huge corpse that fell down in the darkness.

   They didn't even have the interest to see clearly, and there was no need to do so about what just rushed out. Except that Chong Xiao would be a little more troublesome, the other demons could not be called threats, and the three people's mind and attention were more focused on finding the old man's trail.

   It didn't take long for the three of them to stop moving again.

   "The clue here is broken again..."

  Gu Mo sighed: "Weeds grow too fast, and we didn't arrive in time. The traces left by the old man's trek in the mountains were not obvious at first, and after this period of time, it is naturally more difficult to find..."

  “…”

  “…”

  The two girls were silent.

   They also knew this, and suddenly felt a headache.

   "The old man's character is really a headache, or he wants to come back and take a look..."

Gu Mo tried to speculate on the action logic of the old man, and he thought that was probably the case. Falling leaves return to their roots, and people always feel homesick. Saito Michizō said that he was really reminded by his own questioning, and finally made such a decision. , on the contrary, there is not much possibility, I am afraid that he has long thought of coming back.

It's just that in the past, he was still shouldering the burden of governing Meinong, and he could only think about it, so until now after the handover of power, the existence of the old man is no longer indispensable to Meinong, and only Only in this case can you walk away.

   shook his head uncontrollably, Gu Mo probably understood.

   It's like he can't walk away now, he's just learning the doll behavior of the magician of flowers, and now he's a shadow in the mountains in the Kanazaki area...

   He just wanted to check the situation first, but the two Saito misses really couldn't wait, so the three of them rushed here.

"The trail is broken here... But it can be seen that there has been a fight here before, but the demonic energy has dissipated." The second lady said worriedly. Surrounded by the thick darkness, she relied on powerful sensory retrieval. around the situation.

  My father's whereabouts stopped here. It seemed that some danger had been encountered. Although the surrounding vegetation showed extremely tenacious vitality, it could also be seen that there was a collision of powerful forces here at that time.

   And then...

   There are no clues.

   "Don't worry, you have to believe my divination results, bad luck turns into good fortune, and disaster presents auspiciousness, the old man will be fine..." Gu Mo comforted, "If you don't believe it, now I can count it again..."

   As he said that, he looked up at the sky habitually, but found that because he was enveloped in the dark realm, what he saw was darkness, and he couldn't see the stars at all.

   It was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

   Gu Mo twitched the corners of his mouth and cursed secretly.

   Well, this unfortunate owl still needs to be resolved.

  …………

   In a gap in the extremely dense mountain somewhere, inside the ruins of a deserted village.

  Saito Michi had tears in his eyes as he walked tremblingly in the long-abandoned village. Looking at the ruined village that had long since lost its vigor, he felt mixed emotions for a while. He had been away from here for a long time, but when he came back this time, he did not expect to see such a dilapidated scene.

   "The three masters of Dao, please be careful. There are still some ghosts entrenched in the village. I saw that they have no resentment or sin, so I didn't clean it up, but it may still hurt people..."

   Beside him, a handsome young man supported him and said so.

   "The old man knows..."

  The old man nodded, he looked around, and then he couldn't help looking at the young man——

   "Your Excellency Yoshitsune, what you said before...is all true? The world of Taiping, can it really be realized?"

"This is natural. You don't have to doubt Dao, the three great masters." The young man smiled calmly and nodded in recognition. He looked towards the edge of the cliff in the distance. The bright moon in the sky was hidden behind the dark clouds. So chaotic, but he has seen how brilliant the real Taiping world is.

   Star Ring Great Wall...

  Moon base...

   "My guardian spirit can travel through time and space, the golden world depicted by that lord... I have seen it before."
