Chapter 9: Battle in Akihabara Chapter 61 Seal

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    According to Japanese historical legends, the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts is not a ferocious and terrifying phenomenon. Most likely, during the Heian Period when the legend began, humans and monsters coexisted in the city. Kyoto, which had just moved its capital, was often empty at night due to the sparse population.  When there is no one, many strange monsters will appear, like a procession in a temple fair, with faces of various descriptions, wandering around the streets of this world, which is sometimes called the "Hundred Ghosts Night Parade".

    To be honest, in the eyes of most people, the Night Parade of Hundred Demons is not a scary existence, and there is even a slight romantic expectation. After all, the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts is ghosts wandering around on the streets. Generally speaking, they are not as scary as humans.  The more daring people even use this exciting experience as a talking point to show off to their friends, attracting constant envy.

    Until the late Heian period, the appearance of the great demon Tamamae changed the balance between humans and monsters. In the end, human onmyojis fought against the ghosts and ended up successfully sealing the monsters into the ghost gate of Mount Fuji.

    Since moving to Japan, the Xu family has shouldered the important task of guarding the ghost gate of Mount Fuji. After many generations of inheritance and intermarriage, in addition to the main family still maintaining the Han surname, the other branches have differentiated into Abe, Yagami, Kusanagi, Kami  There are different surnames such as Le and Si Lang. For convenience, the descendants of the Xu family occasionally use collateral surnames as aliases.  As a rotating duty, once every ten years, a descendant of the same surname will be responsible for guarding the Hell Gate of Mount Fuji. However, since the Heian Era, the Hell Gate has been closed for thousands of years. Moreover, every ten years, the Xu family will be marked again.  Thousands of sealed ghost gates were added with dozens of large and small seals, so the so-called guarding the ghost gates became a routine more formal than ritual after a thousand years.

    In addition, this year coincides with the four-year-old Four Spirits Conference being held in Tokyo. The Xu family is full of energy to make a splash, so most of their energy and manpower are devoted to preparations for this conference, taking turns to guard the ghost gate.  There are only seven third generations of the Xu family who have just grown up.  At first, these young onmyojis were quite excited about guarding the ghost gate.  After all, the mission of guarding the peace and happiness of all people in the world and suppressing the gate of all ghosts sounds exciting and romantic. These young people who have just grown up are all gearing up and looking forward to it.

    However, the gap between reality and ideals has taught these young onmyojis who are still in their adolescent fantasies a good lesson.  From the snowy New Year to the howling autumn wind, I saw the spruce trees sprouting again and again in Mount Fuji, and the snow on the top of Jianfeng Peak changed several times, but there was still no movement at the Gate of Ten Thousand Ghosts.  The great cause of guarding that was originally full of longing has turned into a boring activity for seven young onmyojis walking in the snow in a daze.

    Xu Yi is the oldest of the group of young onmyojis. He is nineteen years old this year. Compared with the others, Chu Yi is quite mature and prudent, and it is because of his scolding.  The other six little guys, who had long been unable to bear it, broke out and went down the mountain collectively.

    On this day, it happened that Chu Yi was taking another younger young onmyoji, Xu Lin, on a routine inspection. Their inspection was actually very simple. They went to the top of Mount Fuji, one of the eight peaks of Fuji, Kusu Shidake to check the ghost gate.  Whether the seal is intact or not, they have conducted this routine inspection hundreds of times in the past six months.

    "Tatsuya-kun, how long do you think we have to stay here before we can leave?" Xu Lin grimaced and angrily kicked a stone away from the roadside.

    "How many times have I told you that we should use our Chinese names in my family!" Tzu Yi was a little annoyed, Abe Tatsu was also his Japanese name.  After the Xu family came to Japan, the elders of the Xu family strictly ordered that the children within the family must call each other by their Chinese names. However, as the years go by, more and more younger generations do not follow this rule at all.  After all, the bloodline of the previous generation has continued to this day, and it has become more and more indifferent.

    "Okay, Fifth Brother, what do you think we go back to Tokyo this weekend? I heard that there is an autumn festival in the shopping street. There is a lot of excitement to see." Xu Lin curled his lips and stubbornly changed his name to Fifth Brother, but  Still refused to call Chu Yi by his Chinese name.

    There is nothing Tong Yi can do.  Although Xu Lin claims to have held a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen, he is actually still a child at heart. He loves to be lively and playful. Spending more than half a year on Mount Fuji has indeed bored them to death. Not to mention Xu Lin, he is just a kid.  Yi herself felt like she was going crazy.

    While they were talking, the two of them had already reached the top of Kusu Shidake.  There are eight small peaks of different shapes surrounding the jagged rim of the crater at the top of the world-famous Mount Fuji, called the Fuji Eight Peaks, namely Kenbine, Hakusandake, Kusushidake, Ohidake, Izudake, Seijidake, Komagatake and  Sanyue.  Among them, the most dangerous one, Kusu Shitake, is where the great onmyojis Abe Seimei and Ashiya Michitoshi of the Heian Period teamed up to seal the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons. Originally, Abe Seimei was a once-in-a-hundred-year genius of the Xu family, and he set up  The seal should be perfect, but jealousyThe bright Ashiya Michitoshi secretly left a flaw in the seal, preparing to seize the power of all ghosts for his own use. Fortunately, he was finally seen through by Seimei, and Ashiya Michitoshi was killed by Seimei. However, the flaw in the seal was irreparable, so he could only  It can be guarded by the descendants of the Xu family for generations to prevent all ghosts from breaking the seal and coming back.

    There is an abandoned red torii gate on the top of Kusu Shidake, and under this torii gate is the gate of all ghosts.

    "We're here, look, nothing happened. Is Fifth Brother okay? Can we go down?" Xu Lin lowered his head and concentrated on kicking the stones on the roadside while urging Chu Yi to finish his work and go down the mountain.

    Chu Yi didn¡¯t speak.

    "Fifth brother? Fifth brother Hey! Chu Yi, what are you doing" Xu Lin was also a little unhappy. He just thought it was Chu Yi who deliberately ignored him because he didn't call him by his name. He groaned angrily.  He hummed and changed his words, raising his head.

    Then Xu Lin, like Chu Yi, became a wooden man.

    I saw that the red torii gate that originally stood on the top of Kusu Shidake was interrupted by someone waist-high at some point, and was casually thrown to the ground as if it was scattered firewood. Under the torii gate, the torii gate was suppressed.  A large crack opened in the Iai stone, like an egg cut open, split into two pieces and rolled away.  For thousands of years, the seals blessed by the Xu family were completely shattered along with the destruction of the torii and iai stones.

    ??The day when the seal of the ghost gate is gone, when all ghosts reappear in the world.

    Xu Yi and Xu Lin coincidentally recited this motto left by the former Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei. This is the first verse that every Xu family member recited after becoming literate, and they can never forget it from now on.  For Xu Yi and Xu Lin, this ancient ritual is just the old men in the family stubbornly following the same old tradition, but they have never been so excited as today.

    However, the strange thing is that since the seal of the ghost gate has been broken, all the ghosts that have been sealed here since the Heian era will inevitably break out of the ground and see the light of day again. However, at the top of Kusu Shidake Peak, there are only fragments of torii gates scattered on the ground.  With the cracked Iai stone, the clouds are calm and the wind is gentle, as usual.

    Xu Yi and Xu Lin exchanged opinions - of course at this moment they had no idea at all, and quickly made a decision to use the Xu family's most urgent method of sending orders: calling the head of the Xu family.  In fact, Xu Yi originally planned to follow the tradition and send a flaming arrow to announce the news or something, but the efficiency of modern communication tools is far greater than the so-called emergency communication methods of ancient times

    An hour later, the Xu family's team rushed to the top of Fuji Mountain angrily. This time, the Xu family was full of elites. Except for the team that was always on duty at the Moon View House to watch over Xu Mingming, it was almost the strongest lineup of the Xu family.  All came to the top of Mount Fuji.  You know, in the Heian era in the past, Abe Seimei, as the most amazing genius of the Xu family, had to borrow the power of Ashiya Michimi to seal the ghost gate. Although he knew that Ashiya Michimi had no good intentions, Seimei could only fight with him.  Cooperation, because the spiritual power required to seal the ghost gate cannot be accomplished by the Xu family unilaterally.

    And now, although the Xu family is prosperous, compared to Abe Seimei, it is really not worth mentioning. Xu Mingming, who has inherited Master Seimei's spiritual power, has to guard the Moon View House, so although the Xu family has  A large number of people came to Lala, but everyone still had no idea.

    The Xu family knows better than anyone what the consequences will be if all the ghosts break out of the ghost gate.

    When the large army arrived, the sealed place on the top of Kusu Shidake was indeed as reported by the two juniors. The seal was completely broken, and there was no doubt that the gate of hell had been broken.  But what to do next? A group of masters from the Xu family stared blankly and didn't know what to do.  After all, for them, they are just a few decades older than Xu Yi and Xu Lin. No one knows what to do if something like this left by their ancestors thousands of years ago goes wrong.

    "Third brother, it should be certain that the seal of the ghost gate has been destroyed Has the day of the return of all ghosts arrived?" After a while, a bold family elder asked the head of the Xu family.  Lao Xu is the third eldest son. He is very talented and is the most outstanding talent in the family in the previous generation. Therefore, he became the head of the family twenty years ago. The person who asked the question is the fourth eldest son of the Xu family. The two grew up together and have been the third eldest son all day long.  The fourth child kept yelling and yelling, but he never changed his tune even when he grew up.

    Lao Xu held his beard and pondered for a long time, not knowing how to answer. If he saw ghosts running around all over the mountains and plains as soon as he came up, then it would be simple. Just throw off his arms and do it. Of course, he can't beat us.  Say something else

    But now that I came up, I saw nothing, which put Lao Xu in a difficult situation.

    In the end, Lao Xu had no choice but to order them to disperse on the spot and use spiritual sensing to see if the ghosts had escaped to other places. But for these legendary monsters from thousands of years ago, could modern onmyojis deal with the inner demons?  There is no bottom, so everyone says they are spreading out, but actually??I just wandered around on the top of Kusu Shidake Peak, fearing that I would be dragged away accidentally by the old monster if I was left alone.

    After struggling for a long time, he still found nothing. Lao Xu saw that there was no way to go. He couldn't just waste his time on the top of the mountain. Just when he was about to announce that he was closing the team and looking for other ways, the phone rang at this time.
