Chapter 396 Invitation from Underworld (2)
The motorcycle stopped on the bustling street. From here on, they had to walk. Anyone who has been to the Underworld House knows that there is no such thing as the Underworld House. There is a fixed path. As long as there is an invitation letter and the person keeps reciting "Yellow Spring House" silently in his heart, no matter which intersection the psychic walks in, he will reach the destination. If there is no invitation letter, it is basically impossible to find that place. .
The two took off their motorcycle helmets, found an alley and walked in. They came to the ghost domain and soon found the familiar izakaya with familiarity.
However, the Huangquan House that appeared in front of them this time looked a little strange. The lanterns on both sides of the door that should have been emitting a warm light were extinguished at this time, and there was no such thing as pushing cups and changing glasses from inside the door. There was only dead silence among the lively sounds of the lights, like a haunted house.
"Hey, Inuyama-shi, I feel like it's not very good inside." Takeru said in Inuyama Heita's ear: "It feels like it will be very dangerous if you go in. Why don't you tell Brother Oto not to go in?"
"Brother Yi, this is..." Even if Takeru didn't say anything, Heita Inuyama could feel the ominous atmosphere coming from inside. He looked at Qian Xiaoyi and asked what he meant.
Qian Xiaoyi was not as nervous as Heita Inuyama. He touched his chin and looked at the strange Huangquan House, then nodded and said: "I understand... Heitaro, take the imperial palace of Iwama Shrine. "Give it to me."
Inuyama Heita took out the amulet he got from Yanci in the mourning hall and handed it to Qian Xiaoyi. Although he didn't know what he wanted this for, it must be of some use. ?
Unexpectedly, Qian Xiaoyi said after putting it away: "Okay, let's go in, be careful later, don't be embarrassed."
"Eh? What do you mean? ..." Before Inuyama Heita could understand what Qian Xiaoyi meant, Qian Xiaoyi opened the curtain and walked in.
Inuyama Heita could only follow quickly and said: "Wait for me, Brother Yi."
But when he also opened the curtain and entered the Huangquan House, he found Qian Xiaoyi's figure. It has disappeared, and the environment here has also changed. The original bar was empty and the interior was extremely dark.
"Wow! What's going on? Brother Yi's aura suddenly disappeared!" Ajian said with some fear: "This place looks very bad! How about we go back?"
Heita Inuyama shook his head: "I can't go back."
He turned around and looked. The entrance behind him had now become a wall, and they were trapped here.
Ajian shouted in panic: "It's a trap! What should I do? We are separated from Brother Y by this room! Now we are isolated and helpless! Ahhhhh~ It's going to be over!"
" Mr. Takeru, calm down." Inuyama Heita said helplessly: "Brother Oto's previous attitude has shown that this may be just a test for the spirit exterminator by Mr. Ashiya, not a trap."
"Test?" Takeru was very puzzled: "But hasn't it already been tested the first time? We successfully found this place, why do we need to test it again?"
Inuyama Heita said: "Maybe that time The test is the spirit-killing master's ability to find targets, and this time it's something else, such as combat ability..."
"Eh? Fighting?" Ajian said: "Then I can't help. Busy, bye~"
After saying that, he hid deep in the jade pendant and became silent.
Inuyama Heita was also speechless for a while. He didn't expect Mr. Takeru to play any role in the battle, but was this guy running too fast?
He made the Bagua Seal and looked into the darkness through the empty window. At the end of the darkness, two lanterns suddenly lit up. The lanterns burned with a faint green light, which made people shudder. .
In the center of the two lanterns, there is a Japanese-style double-opening paper sliding door (shoji door). Then, the door automatically separates to both sides, revealing the shoji door further inside. Just like this, step by step, one Opening the doors one by one is like the infinite reflection between mirrors, leading to unknown places.
Heita Inuyama swallowed and walked towards the depths of the passage. He walked like this for an unknown amount of time. Nothing happened in the middle, and then he finally saw the end. The shoji door at the end was tightly closed, and in front of this door, an ancient samurai armor was kneeling on the cushion. If it weren't for the hollow hole under its helmet, with a white talisman stuck inside, Inuyama Pingtai almost thought he was sitting there on his knees alone.
And just when Inuyama Heita appeared in front of it, the samurai armor moved, and it slowly stood up. A blue will-o'-the-wisp suddenly lit up under the helmet, and there was a "crack" sound. The katana from his waist was pulled out and pointed at Inuyama Heita's face, as if waiting for him to attack.
"It seems we can't move forward without defeating this guy." Takeru said, "Be careful, this guy has a strong murderous intention."
Inuyama Heita said knowingly: "No wonder Brother Yi took away my guard. Did he want to test my strength?"
He Zai After carefully observing the ghost armor warrior in front of him, he instantly got a lot of information: "It seems that this is a shikigami. The body is not a talisman, but the armor is. It is more similar to the fusangshin like Nuhumaru. Even if the charm is removed, it is estimated that this guy can continue to move, and it will be difficult to eliminate it... Wait!"
Inuyama Heita suddenly discovered a fact: "It seems... I don't need to destroy it at all, I just need to break it up! Then take advantage of the gap between it and walk into the door behind it. So the test here is Is it the ability to defend against the enemy's attack, and the ability to break the armor with one blow?"
After making the decision, Inuyama Heita assumed an attack stance, facing him like a boxer? enemy.
"The enemy is a yin and evil ghost, and the human body's yang fire should be useful to it." Heita Inuyama thought silently: "Brother Oto once said that for a young beginner like me, the best The most powerful weapon is the yang energy carried by the human body. "
Seemingly seeing Inuyama Heita's delay in attacking, the samurai armor became a little impatient. It swung it in the air, then raised its blade and rushed towards him. He hit Inuyama Heita and slashed at him with one sword.
But Inuyama Heita was waiting for this moment!
He calmed down and stepped forward heavily. Fierce fire exploded under his feet, like a wave of flames, rushing towards the enemy.
The samurai armor slashed its blade towards the flames. With a sound of wind, the sword cut away the flames, revealing an empty scene behind it.
“Take the move!” Heita Inuyama’s voice came from behind it.
It turned out that after stepping out of the flames, Heita Inuyama used the footwork skills of a boxer to quickly move behind the enemy under the cover of the flames.
At this time, a ball of flame condensed on his right fist, covering his fist tightly like a shining glove.
"Condensation!" Inuyama Heita's eyes flashed, changing his perception and shrinking the flames. His right fist was now like a glowing red iron block, emitting a dangerous red light.
"Broken!" Before the opponent could react, Inuyama Heita punched the samurai armor on the lower back, where the connection was weak.
With a burst of dazzling fire and explosions, the warrior armor crackled and fell apart, turning into various parts and falling in every corner. The will-o'-the-wisps inside the helmet dimly extinguished.
Then, the sound of the door opening came from behind Inuyama Heita. He turned around and saw that the last shoji door had been opened, so he walked in without hesitation.
After Inuyama Heita left, the door was closed again, and the talisman attached to the inside of the samurai armor lit up, and the parts scattered on the ground flew up again and gathered together. In just a few seconds, the samurai armor came back to life. He knelt down on the cushion as before and returned to his original position, waiting for the arrival of the next challenger.
