Chapter 286 Qingji Wants to Transform into a Dragon
Taoist Master Long took a breath suddenly. If a big demon appeared in Kyoto, it would definitely be a big deal. In the whole Tokyo, only a few forces had ever defeated or repelled a big demon.

Not to mention the abandoned Kifune Shrine, only Hanakaiin and Fushimi Inari Taisha have the strength to cope with it.

Taoist Master Oboromichi Nagayama Yuzuru didn't want to say it, nor did he intend to ask any further questions. The less you know about certain things, the better. He just led the way for the two of them, and soon the three of them entered the Kifune Shrine from the first torii.

The Guichuan Shrine is crossed by a road that is more than 10 kilometers long and ends at a small town. Buses can be seen passing by late at night, but the main body of the shrine is inserted into the mountains from the side of the road.

I have to say it's really strange. This is the base camp of a first-rate force. Aren't they afraid of enemy invasion?

However, after listening to Taoist Master Oboro's explanation, I can understand that the main business of Kifune Shrine today is tourism.

If you want to know why this is the case, it is because after Gao Long Shen died, the people of Kibune Shrine could not sense the main deity. Therefore, the successive shrine masters did not recruit many people, thinking that in order to protect the inheritance, they only recruited a few apprentices.

The current shrine master, Daoshi Long, has only one disciple, and his only goal is to have descendants to inherit the shrine.

Walking along the small path beside the highway, you can see many shrine-themed shops. The people living in them are workers serving the tourist area, and Kifune Shrine does not have to worry about money because of the tourism income.

Looking at the unique and vibrant scene of the shrine, Yuzuru Nagayama couldn't help but sigh.

As expected, the gods are the core of the shrine. As long as the gods are there, the shrine has a future. If the gods die, no matter how glorious the shrine is, it will decay until only an empty shell remains, and this is the case with the Kifune Shrine.

The three continued to go deeper and stopped in front of the Guibune Hall along the way. This is the main place where Gao Longshen is enshrined. However, the worship hall of this dragon god who left a great reputation in mythology can only be described as shabby.

The wood used to build the worship hall began to rot, and the overall shape was brown-black. If it weren't for the remaining traces of divine power, Yuzuru Nagayama would have thought it was just an old house deep in the mountains.

Yuzuru Nagayama carefully observed his surroundings and came to a conclusion that after the death of a deity, even the temple could not gather the power of faith, and the power of faith accumulated over the years was wasted. Given the reputation of the Kifune Shrine, it was a pity even for an outsider like him.

Taoist Master Long may have seen the confusion of the two people and slowly gave the answer.

"This building is over 1400 years old and has always remained the same. It's only in the last hundred years without divine protection that the wood has begun to decay."

After listening to the explanation, Yuzuru Nagayama looked at the ownerless worship hall and had a sudden idea. If he occupied this place, could he monopolize the faith of Gao Longshen? Anyway, Gao Longshen and his son were both dead.

Of course, this was just a thought that had just come to his mind, and he didn't intend to say it out loud, at least the conditions were not met.

The three continued into the woods path and made their way to a waterfall cabin.

The waterfall, more than 20 meters high and 5 meters wide, hits the rocks in the lake, and many fish swim at the bottom of the lake.

At this moment, Yuzuru Nagayama stopped, not only because the concentration of spiritual energy here was good, but also because he noticed that there was a guy with considerable strength in the cabin.

In addition, there are many ghosts and monsters living around, including natural spirits, traditional monsters, and even ghosts of the dead. However, they seem to be living in peace, which makes Yuzuru Nagayama even more curious about how many ghosts and monsters there are near Kurama Mountain.

He thought and did it. A wave of immortal power quickly expanded in a semicircle, 1 kilometer, 10 kilometers, and the exploration was completed in less than a few seconds. The feedback he received did not disappoint him.

There are actually two seventh-level elites living within 10 kilometers, one is in the small house, and the other is in Kurama Temple.

In addition to the seventh level, more than 10 high-level beings were found, one of whom was even at the peak of the sixth level. This level of density is too outrageous.

At this time, the entire Kurama Mountain area was in a state of excitement, because Nagayama Yuzuru's search directly alarmed the extraordinary beings in the entire Kurama Mountain area, whether they were cultivators or ghosts and monsters.

Some people think they are quite strong and want to wait for someone who dares to show off his aura and challenge them.

Of course, there are very few such fools. Most monsters trembled and looked around, as if they were afraid that someone would jump out and kill them. The immortal power that was just detected was as terrifying as a peerless beast.

There is a small shrine in the mountainous area on the edge of Ma'anshan, with the four big words "Qingji Shrine" written on it.

Suddenly the soil was turned over, and a huge green snake crawled out from it. Its green and black scales were very shiny. This extraordinary snake looked towards the direction of Kifune Shrine in confusion.

"Is it the breath of the Dragon God? Could it be that the Dragon God has visited the Ghost Ship Shrine?"

When the big snake thought of this possibility, its pupils filled with excitement.

The blue snake is named Qingji. She is the legendary Qingji who turned from love to hate. After killing the scumbag who abandoned her, she only has the desire to pursue power. However, the snake demon that she turned from resentment has become a barrier that cannot be advanced.
And misfortunes never come singly, whether it was due to her physical condition or something else, as time went by, her desire for power became stronger and stronger, like a drug addiction.

For this reason, Qingji wanted to use the dragon's blood to break through, otherwise in a few hundred years, she would definitely become a crazy woman.

In pursuit of the opportunity to transform into a dragon, Qingji searched for the legend of the Dragon God all over the country, but unfortunately she couldn't find any. Even when she met a pure-blooded dragon named Suzuka Gozen, the dragon directly told her that there was nothing he could do and suggested that she go find a more powerful Dragon God for help.

So Qingji came to the Kifune Shrine a hundred years ago, praying for the enlightenment of the Dragon God, even if it meant devoting her whole life to it. Unfortunately, she never saw the Dragon God in more than a hundred years, so she could only seal herself in the inner world in despair.

She sealed herself in the inner world for decades until she was awakened by the power of a real dragon a few months ago. She witnessed the Dragon God drowning all the demons for the sake of mankind. Only then did she regain hope and return to the world, determined to find the Dragon God.

Now the opportunity has come. The hundreds of years old Hongyuan waved to her. The green snake turned into a black-haired woman with a human body and a snake tail. The more than ten-meter-long tail left a sliding mark on the ground.

At the same time, in a mountain dojo somewhere in Kurama Mountain, the grass outside the dojo rustled, and countless eyes opened waiting for the order of the master of Kurama Mountain. The master of the dojo, an old man with a long nose, suddenly opened his eyes, and then closed them again.

This person is none other than the Great Tengu of Kurama Mountain, a famous teacher who once taught Minamoto no Yoshitsune swordsmanship and a former subordinate of Yuyuko Kitsune, but now he has been expelled from the team. The Great Tengu stared at the distant mountaintops, and finally shook his head and said.

"Youkai should not be too curious, especially in the current situation."

All the monsters outside disappeared after hearing this. Daitengu didn't really care whether there were any strong outsiders on Kurama Mountain. For an existence like him, it was not difficult to open the gate to the inner world. If he didn't want to witness whether Yuyuko could succeed, he would not return to reality.

At the same time, in front of the waterfall hut, Yuzuru Nagayama asked curiously.

"You really have a lot of hidden dragons and crouching tigers here. There is a seventh-level person inside, and there is also a seventh-level person on Kurama Mountain not far away. There are more than a dozen high-level beings around."

Taoist Master Long instantly guessed who the Seventh Level of Kurama Mountain was, but he couldn't figure out why the Great Tengu, who hadn't returned to Kurama Mountain for more than ten years, would come back again.

"Inside the hut is my master, Gojo Shin. As for Mount Kurama, it should be the return of the Great Tengu."

"Big Tengu?"

Yuzuru Nagayama really wants to meet Daitengu, and it would be even better if he could recruit him as a shikigami. However, this is not the right time. He will go and see after he has settled Kitahara Haruna.

It was also at this time that the great Tengu in the distance suddenly had a bad premonition. The old man, who trusted his intuition very much, immediately flew out of the dojo and disappeared into the night. A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall.

Yuzuru Nagayama had no idea that he would lose his future prey just by thinking about it.

When the three of them pushed open the door, they saw that the space inside was more than ten times larger than it looked from the outside. It seemed to be a special space.

Inside the room, a middle-aged man was carving a jade pillar with numerous dragon-shaped patterns. His long white hair was tangled in a mess, and his clothes were dirty, looking extremely slovenly.

As soon as Yuzuru Nagayama came in, he was attracted by the jade pillar in front of him. He knew at first glance that it was an extraordinary thing, but due to his lack of knowledge, he could not accurately say what was extraordinary about it.

As for the sloppy man, it is Gojo Makoto, a madman trapped in love.

Taoist Master Long bowed to his master.

"Master, I come to see you again."

The sloppy man simply turned a blind eye and continued to be busy with his work while eating a leftover bun.

Taoist Master Oboro felt very disappointed when he saw this, and continued to explain to Nagayama Yuzuru and the others.

"The Jade Pillar was left behind by the Dragon God from the inner world. Together with the earth veins, it can effectively suppress abnormal conditions. As long as you carry the fragments of the Jade Pillar with you, you can suppress abnormalities within the range of the Kifune Shrine. If you leave the Kifune Shrine hundreds of meters away, it will be ineffective."

Nagayama Yuzuru stepped forward and looked around the jade pillar. He had to admit that this madman's craftsmanship was absolutely master-level. Seeing that Gojo didn't care, he also picked up a piece of jade and handed it to Kitahara Haruna.

After Kitahara Haruna took the jade pendant, she soon felt comfortable inside her body, as if she had turned from liquid back into a solid state.

"I feel much better now."

"As long as it's useful."

Seeing that the jade was useful, Yuzuru Nagayama discussed cooperation with Taoist Master Oboro, and after a few minutes of discussion they finally came to a conclusion.

As long as Taoist Master Oboro takes in Kitahara Haruna in the shrine, he will give her three drops of true dragon blood as a reward. The first drop will be given now, and the remaining two drops will be given within 5 years at the latest.

When Yuzuru Nagayama pierced his finger, the smell of blood made Gojo Makoto suddenly freeze, then he turned around and looked at the owner of the blood and shouted blankly.

"Lord Dragon God, you are back."

"."

Before Yuzuru Nagayama could wonder about Gojo's situation, he suddenly turned his head and looked at a corner outside the house and shouted.

"Let me in, whoever's outside."

Endless immortal power locked onto the figure outside the house. With the sound of mopping the floor, the door was opened again.

Witnessed by everyone, a woman with a human body and a snake tail walked in. The moment her pair of watery eyes saw Nagayama Yuzuru, they suddenly shone brightly and physically emitted purple light.

A charming female voice sounded.

"My humble lady pays respect to Lord Dragon God."

"."
