Chapter 5160 A Little Fate of Hunting Demons!
Chapter 5160 A Little Fate of Hunting Demons!
The appearance of the monster naturally aroused fear among the nearby villagers and also summoned the Set team.
But by the time the Set team arrived, the Nine-Tailed Fox had already been killed by Baili Yuan.
Then, Hongxiang's mother took Hongxiang and explained everything in front of all the villagers and the members of the Set team. She then entrusted Hongxiang to the villagers' care and disappeared completely.
As for why Hongxiang's mother was able to exist for so long, one can only say that the five-year-old child who happened to be passing by had plenty of tricks up his sleeve.
Although the Seth team was amazed by everything, they did not investigate further and simply recorded the incident.
They simply labeled the exorcist who slew the nine-tailed fox as a "mysterious exorcist." They were unaware of Baili Yuan's identity and did not delve into it.
Knowing that others are protecting the Earth together is enough; there's no need to disturb them.
As for Hongxiang, after discussion among the villagers, it was decided that they would take care of her together.
Some people even erected a memorial tablet for Hongxiang's mother.
All the negative news about Hongxiang disappeared, and the children who had bullied her came to apologize.
The villagers were also very scared, not of the monster, but of Hongxiang's mother.
Because Hongxiang's mother truly appeared as a spirit, and in broad daylight no less! Who knows if her mother has become a god?
It's never wrong to offer a prayer.
No one dared to complain when Hongxiang was being taken care of.
In conclusion, Hongxiang's story has come to an end.
The story of the swordsman who slew the nine-tailed fox will be passed down.
The five-year-old child also returned to the Shiratori residence and began to think about how to further strengthen the power of the well dragon.
……
Baili Yuan's idea of hunting down other demons is a good one.
In reality, neither Enmago nor Jizo Bodhisattva were able to grant Zanpakuto new abilities.
Baili Yuan slashed Enmago dozens of times with his Zanpakuto, but the Zanpakuto failed to gain the legendary blessing of King Yama, nor did it acquire any new power.
Because Enmago is not a demon born from legend, but a real alien, only similar to the legend.
This reminded Baili Yuan that there are indeed many cosmic life forms similar to ghosts and monsters in the universe. Many legendary demons are based on these cosmic life forms.
For example, the Blue Oni clan on Apple Planet.
Another example is the Oni race, like the moon and stars.
The most famous are the demons of the moon and stars, known as the demons of the universe. They all have ferocious and eerie appearances and possess many special abilities.
Because of the existence of the Oni race, the Moon Star is also known as the Oni Star.
But these so-called demons are essentially cosmic life forms, or even cosmic beings with civilization.
Even if you cut it down, it won't give Jinglong any new abilities.
As for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, although he is a real being born from legend, Baili Yuan ultimately couldn't bring himself to harm him.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is good.
However, Baili Yuan did not leave empty-handed.
Baili Yuan learned about two other legendary demons from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva—Gu Huo Niao and Ebisu.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is truly something special; if Baili Yuan hadn't come to his door with a knife, he wouldn't have revealed a single thing to anyone.
After hearing Baili Yuan's needs, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva recommended these two demons to Baili Yuan, stating that these two demons were the only two he knew that met Baili Yuan's requirements.
Although Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was asleep, he possessed the ability to enter dreams. In dreams, he could detach himself from the clay sculpture and wander freely, thus discovering the existence of the Ubume and Ebisu. The reason Baili Yuan wasn't tasked with dealing with these two demons earlier was because he had no obligation to help, and the two demons hadn't yet begun causing harm.
Now that Baili Yuan is in need, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will naturally not hide it from him.
From Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Baili Yuan also learned detailed information about the two monsters.
First up is the Ubume.
According to legend, the Guhuoniao is the manifestation of a woman's resentment after childbirth. It takes the form of a woman by day and a bird by night, and is active at night, capable of absorbing people's souls. It steals infants by marking their clothing with blood spots, leading to the folk custom of not drying baby clothes at night. This monster can also collect human fingernails to predict good or bad fortune.
There was previously an ivy monster, Basella, born from the resentment of an infant.
The Guhuoniao that appears today is the opposite, originating from the resentment of mothers who have lost their children.
Basera's situation also fits Jinglong's needs, but if Jinglong kills Basera, he may not necessarily gain power.
Because Basera was not blessed by any legends or stories.
The Guhuoniao is different; it is imbued with the blessings of legends and stories.
However, the Guhuoniao is clearly not as strong as Basera, and it doesn't even have the ability to leave its nest and wreak havoc. Although it has been born, it is still accumulating power.
After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva told Baili Yuan where the Guhuoniao was hiding, Baili Yuan went to the door that very day.
The Guhuoniao was hiding in a mental hospital.
Baili Yuan investigated and found that the most common type of mental patients in this mental hospital were mothers who had lost their children and thus suffered mental breakdowns.
Under the influence of the Guhuoniao, the poor mothers' conditions not only failed to improve, but gradually worsened.
The doctors and nurses who were supposed to be responsible for treating these poor mothers were all manipulated and became the henchmen of the Guhuoniao.
When Baili Yuan appeared at the entrance of the mental hospital, he was almost torn apart by the mothers who rushed out of the hospital.
These poor mothers have become obsessed with their children.
"How dare they toy with human emotions like this? This is no ordinary Guhuoniao. We must strike with heavy sword!" Baili Yuan was furious at the thought of Hongxiang and her daughter.
That very night, the Guhuoniao, which was hiding in the mental hospital, was killed by Baili Yuan who rushed into its nest.
The poor mothers, doctors, and nurses who were controlled by the Guhuoniao were also freed.
Baili Yuan then used the power of "Nine-Tailed Cutter" to purify the influence of the Guhuoniao on everyone and calm the chaotic minds of the patients.
Once they have recovered for a period of time, all patients will be able to be discharged.
This also led Baili Yuan to discover the special nature of the Nine-Tailed Cutter's purifying power. The mental disorder caused by the stimulation was actually judged as a negative state and then purified.
After slaying the Guhuoniao, unsurprisingly, Jinglong gained the power of "Guhuoqie," granting him the ability to lock onto targets at extremely long range. Any target attacked by Jinglong can be easily locked onto within the range of a planet. This can be considered a support ability.
This power likely arose from Baili Yuan's act of killing Guhuoniao that very night after he learned about her.
After slaying the Guhuoniao, Jinglong gained a purple sword light and obtained from the Guhuoniao the ability to use sound to create illusions and control others.
Then comes Ebisu.
Ebisu is the Japanese god of wealth and commerce, and the only native Japanese deity among the Seven Lucky Gods. He is depicted wearing an eboshi hat and a hunting robe, holding a fishing rod in his right hand and a sea bream in his left, symbolizing protection of the sea and a bountiful harvest.
However, since Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva called him a demon, it means that Ebisu was not a benevolent being.
Ebisu, as a god of wealth, is very popular and naturally easily generates special consciousness from the wishes of sentient beings, similar to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
However, in the Ultra Universe, these gods are not the main characters in the story.
But the problem is, this is the Ultraman universe.
A statue of Ebisu, having developed consciousness, was influenced by the extradimensional energy of the Yapool, thus giving rise to evil thoughts. (End of Chapter)
