Chapter 689 8 Birds

Chapter 689 Yatagarasu

Apogi Plain shrouded in night.

The Apogi River flows quietly around the vast plain. Under the illumination of a large moon in the sky, the upper reaches of the river reflect a bright light.

The scene downstream of the river near Chikushi Castle is quite different.

The people of Chikushi Castle gathered around the Apogi River to release river lanterns.

This is part of a celebration to commemorate Izanagi.

Above the water, river lanterns of various shapes are floating, made of bamboo strips and colored paper, solid and beautiful.

The orange candlelight on the river lanterns swayed, the light was soft and warm, and floated up and down in the water waves, like flowing stardust, forming a brilliant band of light, creating a flowing dream on the river.

Peace and beauty are something no one wants to disrupt.

On the river bank, in an inconspicuous location far away from where people gather.

A small figure was wandering around.

This is a little girl, and like everyone else participating in the festival, she is also a popular person in Chikushi Castle.

The girl was wearing a thick black hooded cloak, the hem of which dragged on the muddy ground. Her hood was pulled down so low that the upper half of her face could not be seen clearly.

Below the bridge of the nose, one can see pale lips and somewhat sickly skin.

Like some human grass, the girl has some divine abilities and some "unhuman" characteristics.

She has two pairs of black wings on her back.

The four dorsal wings are huge and can completely cover her when folded together.

The black clothes and black wings made the girl look even more gloomy.

Yatagarasu.

This is how the people in Chikushi Castle call this girl.

In the hands of the little Yatagarasu, there is also a river lantern made of bamboo strips and colored paper, which is in the shape of a small boat.

She walked to the river bank, folded up the wings on her back to block the night wind, then carefully lit the river lantern and held it into the river.

The Yatagarasu watched her little river lantern drift away with the current, then clasped the fingers of her left and right hands together and placed them on her slightly bulging chest which was just beginning to develop.

According to the custom of the celebration, people will make a wish when releasing river lanterns.

It is said that the river lanterns will carry everyone's wishes and drift to Lord Izanagi.

"I hope Master Taoxian won't have to work so hard anymore."

The Great Peach God has always been the manager of Tsukushi Castle. He is gentle, kind and friendly, and is deeply loved by the people.

There are a large number of human grass in the city, and the young Yatagarasu has not actually had any direct contact with Taoxian.

But like everyone else, she respected and loved that adult from the bottom of her heart.

"If Lord Izanagi can hear what I have to say, then I hope that everyone will not be trapped in Apokihara any longer."

"Also, I hope that other people in the city will stop teasing me and playing pranks on me. Lord Izanagi, I am really a good child and have done nothing bad. I can swear."

The Yatagarasu muttered in a still childish tone.

I made three wishes in one breath, but I don’t know if I was a little too greedy.

But today is the most grand millennium celebration in history. Yatagarasu thinks that Lord Izanagi should also understand this, right?

The night wind blows over the river.

Perhaps the weight of the three wishes was too great, and the solitary river lantern released by the Yatagarasu swayed violently a few times in the small wind and waves before it had time to float far away and join the other river lanterns.

The candlelight above was about to go out.

The Yatagarasu held its breath, feeling heartbroken.

But after three or five seconds, the small river lantern boat she released stabilized again.

The brightness of the candles above also tended to stabilize.

"call--"

Yatagarasu breathed a sigh of relief.

And at this moment, there was a "whoosh" sound.

A stone flew from behind, brushing past the black cloak of the Yatagarasu and fell into the river.

The stone fell a few centimeters away from the paper boat river lantern, and the ripples began to shake the dim light the size of a grain of rice.

Then came the second stone, the third...

All of them fell into the river like raindrops.

Yatagarasu turned around in panic and saw a group of children of the same age as her standing behind her.

Those children were all residents of Chikushi Castle.

The leader was a little boy named "Xiang Er" and his head was like a big oak cone.

Yatagarasu knew them, but they were not playmates.

Yatagarasu has no playmates.

"Kouji, what are you doing! Stop!" Yatagarasu was a little angry, with the wings on its back spread out, and its tone was obviously filled with anger.

But the other children ignored her protest and continued to throw stones into the river.

Soon, the Yatagarasu heard a "bang" and another stone fell into the water.

Then the leader, Xiang Er, began to cheer: "Hit it! Hit it!"

The other children also shouted happily.

Yatagarasu looked towards the river and saw that the river lanterns she had released had fallen upside down on the water. The warm yellow light that carried all her wishes had been extinguished by the river water and no longer existed.

"Why...why are you doing this?"

Xiang Er's oak head shook proudly, and he said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course I can't let you release the river lanterns. Who knows what terrible wishes you made."

"Yes, yes!"

"Maybe you want to kill everyone in this city!"

"I didn't make a bad wish! You're talking nonsense..." The anger in the Yatagarasu's tone seemed to die out along with the river lanterns, and was replaced by a sobbing sound mixed with water vapor.

"Bad people will never admit that they have done bad things!"

"Yes, yes!"

"My grandma said that wherever you appear, there will be no good things!"

"You're going to get everyone in this city killed!"

The children continued to shout, one voice above the other.

Their shouting and cursing could not be heard by the distant crowd immersed in the lively atmosphere of the celebration, but they could clearly reach the ears of the Yatagarasu.

The young bird with black back wings stood at the river bank at a loss, confronting its peers.

The river water behind her wet her overly long skirt and stained her feathers. The night wind blew and made her shiver with cold.

The excited children of the grass had not yet stopped denouncing the Yatagarasu, and their tone became even more intense:

"Wherever you appear, someone will die. The day before Grandma Feng passed away, I heard you singing next to her house!"

"Before my third uncle fell ill and died, you also sang in front of my house."

"Yes, you killed them!"

"Only the underworld can kill human grass. You are not a human grass at all, you are a bad thing that escaped from the underworld!"

"I'm not, I'm not! I just heard they were in pain, I just wanted them to…"

Yatagarasu wanted to argue, but the children ignored her and didn't care what she said.

Afterwards, it was unclear which child started the fight first, maybe it was Xiang Er, or maybe it was someone else.

The kids started picking up stones on the ground and throwing them at the Yatagarasu.

"Go back to hell!"

"You are a murderer!"

The helpless Yatagarasu could only fold the wings on its back and wrap its body. Her voice was completely sobbing: "I'm not, I'm not...you...you..."

And those stones, whether blunt or sharp, hurt equally whether they hit her wings or her body.

This bullying lasted for about half a minute.

Until a small, ferocious emerald green bolt of lightning shot out from nowhere.

Boom!

The lightning exploded in front of the children like Xiang Er, extending into a spider-web-like lightning net. Horrifying arcs of electricity rolled and splashed, and the heat waves of the scorching air frightened Xiang Er and others so much that they fell to the ground.

Such a noise finally startled the other people who were gathering happily on the far bank of the river.

"I don't know what happened here, but before I teach you a lesson, stop it."

The black feathers with intricate gold patterns fluttered in the night wind, standing tall in front of the Yatagarasu.

"Aba Aba!"

The short monk wearing a deep bamboo hat followed the man in the haori and pointed at Xiang Er and his group. The general meaning he expressed was -

It is always wrong to gang up on others and bully them.

Of course, it’s a different matter when the master is fighting in a team battle.

The reason why Kamiyagawa appeared here with the little old man was that they were just passing by.

He had just been to the palace in Chikushi Castle, but did not find the Great Peach God.

So I went to the river bank and continued searching.

When I walked over here, I happened to see a group of human grass children throwing stones at a human grass girl with wings on her back. Although I didn't know the whole story, I still stopped them.

The kids in Xiang Er were really scared by the "mini version" of Long Lei thrown out by Kamiya Kawa.

They immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

"Are you OK?"

Kamiyagawa looked at the man who was fucking the little girl behind him.

"I'm not, I'm not, I'm not..."

The girl was still sitting on the ground, wrapping herself with her jet-black wings. Her four wings kept shaking, as if the attacks from Xiang Er and the others had not stopped.

After all, Kamiyagawa is a man who has a "daughter" at home, and he can't bear to see the pitiful appearance of the little girl.

So he raised his hand, gently grasped one of the girl's wings, and wanted to pull her up from the ground.

"Well?"

And the moment he touched the girl, Kamiyagawa quickly let go of her hand as if he had been electrocuted.

He even jumped back nimbly and pulled out Tongziqi Yasunaga with a "clang" sound.

Not right.

Something just felt wrong.

"I'm not... no!"

The girl was still sobbing.

Kamiyagawa stared at her, but saw that the girl's body outline was quickly becoming blurred in the night.

With her location as the center, a darkness thicker than the night sky wriggled out like a tentacle.

This smell is so familiar.

The utmost filth and depravity.

It’s the breath of the underworld.

"What happened to her?"

Even Kamiya Kawa couldn't understand the situation at hand for the time being.

Before he touched the girl, there was clearly no trace of Huang Quan-related aura left on her body.

A few more seconds passed.

This time, not only was the outline of the fucked girl blurred, but her body was also completely engulfed by the darkness that flowed thickly like oil. Only her vague whimpering could be heard continuing to echo.

The darkness with the breath of the underworld had torn a hole in the space along the river bank and poured out.

"Ho...ho..."

Several small humanoid figures, with rotting flesh and unclear outlines, began to emerge from the darkness, accompanied by heavy gasps.

On the bodies of those human figures, you can see wriggling black maggots.

"These things don't look like Yin gods. At most, they are just Yin soldiers of Huangquan. Or... something contaminated by Huangquan."

An enemy of this level is no match for Kamiya.

He pulled his left hand towards the air, and the dazzling, ferocious, huge Dragon Thunder Spear was held in his palm.

The dazzling lightning tore through the night sky, illuminating the river surface, and piercing the golden-patterned feather robe that was swaying wildly in the heat wave. Arcs of electricity splashed, and the outer edges lashed at the muddy ground like whips.

Boom!

With a sweep of the emerald green dragon thunder, the rotten and festering human figures collapsed like a dead tree or rotten wood.

The disgusting Yellow Spring maggots were also blown apart, and the electric arcs chasing each other were burned to ashes.

The darkness with the breath of the underworld shrank back into the crack in space like a tentacle.

"that is it?"

Kamiyagawa was quite surprised, as he couldn't even be considered to be warming up.

But then, he felt something was wrong.

With his condensed pupils scanning the surroundings, Kamiya Kawa noticed that the colors of the surrounding environment were fading rapidly, especially the river lanterns on the Apoki River, which were strangely dim and pale.

The space is turning.

The Apogi River seemed to flow over the top of the head.

Kamiya's senses seemed to be pulled away from his body, floating up lightly.

He heard crying and fighting, and smelled blood and fire.

The Apogi River, which was either below or above him, had completely lost its river lanterns, and was replaced by filth and blood, which soaked the entire surface of the river.

Also, Kamiya saw Chikushi Castle.

The magnificent and sturdy city had become dilapidated for unknown reasons.

The streets of the city were filled with corpses of human beings and the red and white paper lanterns were half soaked in blood and the other half were burning.

In the dilapidated and silent Chikushi Castle, there are still some grasses that have not died.

Kamiyagawa saw a familiar figure.

The plain white silk dress without any pattern decoration was now stained with blood.

The ugly girl named "Yakura" was lying on the two corpses and crying bitterly.

"Father... Mother..."

But no one could respond to her.

……

The strange feeling of sensory detachment did not last long.

Before Kamiyagawa could make any attempt to resist, his consciousness seemed to fall back into his body.

He found himself standing at the gate of Tsukushi Castle with the little old man's clone.

The great city remained the same as it normally was, with strong walls and magnificent moats.

The surroundings were a little dark and the air was a little cold.

However, it was not night at this time, because Kamiya Kawa could see the sun rising on the eastern horizon.

It is sunrise now.

Kamiyagawa looked at the little old man.

The scout also had a bewildered look on his face. It was obvious that even he, with his extraordinary perception abilities, had no idea what was happening.

Then, before Kamiya could analyze and think about the situation, a figure walked slowly towards the city gate from the street of Chikushi Castle.

cherry.

Her plain white silk dress was not stained with blood, and her steps were brisk.

As they approached the city gate, the girl continued to walk forward while quietly looking at the strange and handsome young man outside. Just as the two were about to pass each other, Kamiya called her: "Ying."

The girl turned around immediately, with a slightly puzzled expression on her face:

"You...recognize me?"
