The Strange Tales of Tokyo Monk.
Chapter 268 The kid blocks the way
Chapter 268 The kid blocks the way
Sakurajima volcano just erupted in July, and the road up the mountain still retains the residual heat of the volcanic eruption.
Some climbers even took off their shoes and walked barefoot on the mountain trail.
Foot massage, that’s what they say.
The warm heat emerges from the soil and penetrates into the damp and cold soles of my feet. It is indeed a very comfortable feeling.
It should be able to cure certain diseases.
Pinggong Qianye has no right to tease others, he himself is also the object of teasing.
Carrying a bright lamp, walking along the mountain path, heading towards the volcano.
It is hard not to attract attention when lighting lamps in broad daylight.
Because of her good looks, many people came up to her and talked to her along the way.
Pinggong Qianye just chatted with them briefly and then walked alone to a more remote place.
He was not fit to travel with others, especially on this stretch of road near the top of the mountain.
But there are many people who have the same idea as him, especially some mountaineering enthusiasts who hold trekking poles and carry large backpacks.
They like to challenge some steep and dangerous roads to satisfy their desire to climb.
Sakurajima Volcano is only over 1000 meters above sea level, and such a mountain is not difficult to climb, so these mountaineering enthusiasts chose to set obstacles for themselves.
It’s like completing Dragon Quest 11s and then reselecting the highest difficulty level 8, setting limits for yourself.
These mountaineering enthusiasts are very talkative. After exchanging a few words with Pinggong Qianye, they turned the topic to the bright lamp in Pinggong Qianye’s hand.
“Young man, are you planning to light lanterns on top of the volcano to celebrate?”
There were many questions like this, and Hiramiya Chiye only selectively answered a few of them.
When they climbed two-thirds of the way up the mountain, the sky suddenly darkened.
This was not the darkness when dusk turns to night, but the darkness that comes when dark clouds cover the night.
It was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
“This is how the same thing!”
“It’s only 11 o’clock in the morning, how can it be so dark!”
“I didn’t hear any thunder or lightning.”
Mountain climbing enthusiasts not far from Pinggong Qianye began to complain, and then beams of flashlight lit up.
These people were planning to set up tents on the top of the volcano to spend the night, so they had prepared everything fully.
Seeing that they had a way to overcome this dark environment, Pinggong Qianye withdrew his gaze and, with the help of the light from the bright lamp, quickened his pace to the top of the mountain.
When there was no one around, Qingxuandeng, who had been holding back for almost the entire journey, finally couldn’t help but speak: “This is obviously not a normal phenomenon. The Seven Sin Lords must have noticed your presence.”
“We were discovered by Him when we first started climbing the mountain.”
Pinggong Qianye pointed to the pitch-black sky. When they first started climbing the mountain, they saw many birds circling back and forth in the sky above the top of the mountain.
They are the spies of the Seven Sinners.
Through them, the Seven Sinners can see everything happening nearby.
Furthermore, his behavior of carrying a bright lamp like this was too conspicuous.
“Is this dark environment caused by magic?”
“should be.”
“Then why don’t you break this spell and dispel the darkness with light?”
“This can persuade many unrelated climbers to leave the mountain.”
“Are all you monks really kind-hearted?”
Pinggong Chiye did not answer Qingxuande’s question, but instead quickened his pace, jumping on the rocks and heading towards the top of the mountain.
Below, the mountaineering enthusiasts who were holding flashlights and preparing to continue climbing could only vaguely see a ball of fire jumping in the darkness on the mountain road ahead.
Will-o’-the-wisp appears in many supernatural stories.
Coupled with the sudden darkness just now, it is really hard not to over-associate.
“Let’s go down the mountain.”
“I also think we shouldn’t go any further. It’s easy to get into an accident.”
After a brief discussion, several mountaineering enthusiasts returned along the original route.
At the foot of the mountain, Mitsuhide Akechi, who was in the cab, looked at the dark cloud covering the Sakurajima volcano, with a worried look on his face.
“Hey Hey……”
“Hahahaha……”
As Pinggong Qianye continued to climb about 200 meters with the bright lamp, the darkness around him became more intense, and an eerie atmosphere instantly overwhelmed him.
At the same time, there were bursts of eerie and terrifying laughter.
The bright lamp that was originally able to illuminate an area of 5 meters in radius could now only illuminate an area of 1 meter in radius.
Pinggong Qianye stopped and looked much more solemn. Without opening his Vajra Eyes, he could see the densely packed black shadows shuttling through the dark world.
Little devils, and they are everywhere in the mountains.
They seemed to be floating and sinking, drifting in this dark world.
The king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
This saying is not groundless.
“Why are there so many little ghosts?” Qing Xingdeng couldn’t help but smack his lips.
There are little ghosts all over the mountain ahead, occupying the road leading to the top of the mountain.
There are so many of them that they fill the entire dark world ahead.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Pinggong Qianye signaled Qingxingdeng to stop worrying and continued to walk forward, chanting the “Great Light Mantra”.
The Buddhist mantra turned into golden runes, came out of Pinggong Qianye’s mouth, and then merged into the bright lamp.
In an instant, the bright lamp burst into dazzling light, illuminating a large area ahead.
There was no time to dodge, and the little ghosts affected by the light turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared.
With the bright lamp as the center, a bright and pure land was illuminated, blocking all the little ghosts outside the light. Pinggong Chiye walked step by step on this pure land.
“…”
When Qingxuandeng saw this scene, he felt it was a bit strange.
The Buddhist mantra came out of Pinggong Qianye’s mouth and flowed into her body.
Isn’t this just like a human couple kissing and eating saliva?
Just thinking of this, Qing Xingdeng quickly suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind.
“Leave these little devils to me. You still have to deal with the Seven Sinners later.”
Qing Xingdeng still found it hard to accept Pinggong Qianye’s constant recitation of the Great Light Mantra.
“it is good.”
Hiramiya Chiye also wanted to see what abilities Qingxuande in the form of Guangmingdeng had.
“Let go first.”
After Pinggong Qianye let go as he was told, the bright lamp floated above Pinggong Qianye’s head, and strands of light poured out like streams of water.
Wherever the light passes, there is Buddha’s fire burning.
Dispel the darkness, purify the imps, and completely shroud Pinggong Qianye in light.
Although there are numerous little ghosts all over the mountains, no matter how they roar, they cannot invade the area covered by light.
“How dare you, a mere little devil, block my way!”
Qing Xingdeng snorted proudly and spit out a ball of fire from time to time, burning at those little ghosts who still dared to covet and linger outside. Looking at them running around everywhere, he felt much better.
Even though she can’t defeat the Seven Sinners, can’t she teach these little brats a lesson?
“Let you help the evildoers!”
“Let you help the Seven Sinners bully Sister Snow Girl!”
With the help of Qingxuandeng, Pinggong Qianye concentrated on climbing the mountain and his speed increased again.
When there was still 100 meters away from the top of the mountain, a deafening roar like the roar of thunder was heard in the dark world.
That was not the sound of real thunder, but the sound of some creature breathing in and out.
The big guys are coming.
