“This is really hard for me.”

"In terms of individual extraordinary power, I was not bad at that time, but how could I have an extraordinary army?"

"The soldiers under my command are considered an excellent force against mortals, but how can they win against sea monsters?"

"That's a monster! A man-eating monster!"

"It collapsed at the first blow, with countless casualties!"

"I had no choice but to hastily organize the migration of civilians to the west, and I led the army to cover their retreat."

"The result is what you see."

"I stationed in Tama and held off seven waves of Sirens for two days."

"Almost all of my soldiers were injured, with heavy casualties."

"Achi and I are strong enough to easily kill ordinary sea monsters, but there are too many of them."

"I have never seen so many monsters gathered together, marching in formation, in an orderly manner."

"The decapitation tactic we had originally planned cannot be implemented either - those tens of thousands of monsters are enough to overwhelm us. We can't kill them or break through them."

"Isn't it ridiculous?"

"I was originally full of confidence, thinking that my swordsmanship had made some progress, and my territory was constantly developing. But... I got a wake-up call like this."

"Everything that happened during that time almost reminded me of one thing."

"Even if I have mastered the swordsmanship to the fullest and can slay demons with my powerful sword energy, it is only that good."

"I can do nothing about natural disasters, and I can do nothing about the vast number of demons, so what's the point of me cultivating this sword?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly looked up.

"You won't give up?"

".No, I won't. Anyway, I won't give up."

He asked himself questions and answered them, as if he had already made up his mind.

The Lord of a Hundred Ghosts nodded, a cold look flashing across his brows.

"I didn't give up, I just changed my mind."

"You and I have the same memory, so you should understand, right?"

"The more I grow, the more I practice swordsmanship, and the more I understand those extraordinary beings, the more I will understand one thing."

"Human beings have their limits."

"I'm not being snarky, and I'm not joking."

"Listen to me - the strongest Onmyoji in Kyoto, the son of the white fox, Ampere Haruaki, relies on the power of the Shikigami."

"What is a shikigami? It is a subdued demon or god!"

"The great general of the Minamoto clan, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, is not as good as me in swordsmanship. His talent is just so-so. What does he rely on? It's [Onibei]!"

"A method of refining weapons into monsters, and refining monsters into weapons!"

"Kikiri, Ghost Trooper, you should have understood something. You know, what I said is true!"

"They are all geniuses, far ahead in the path of transcendence, but they cannot escape this shackles!"

"The shackles brought by the species called [human]!"

The voice of the Lord of a Hundred Demons appeared in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi. He and Uesugi Kiyoshi faced each other, eye to eye, with solemn expressions.

"I decided that I would not be a human being anymore."

This sentence was powerful and ridiculous, but it made Uesugi Kiyoshi unable to laugh.

"It doesn't matter if I become a ghost or a god, or if I die and never reincarnate in the underworld."

"I will never allow my people to die in vain!"

"The nobles in Kyoto are not completely stupid. My father is also mediating. Soon, reinforcements from Kyoto will arrive."

"When the White Fox's son heard about the seriousness of the situation, he personally led a number of Onmyoji to the battlefield. He was a man who understood the greater good. With the addition of reinforcements from Kyoto, the Siren's tentative attack was blocked and they retreated."

"All that was left was a devastated Kanto."

"I was too embarrassed to go back to Kyoto to face my father, so I stayed in Kanto to clean up the mess and tried every possible way to find two paths."

"First, I am looking for a way to break through the limits of human beings. Whether it means becoming a god or falling into the realm of a ghost or god, as long as I can succeed, I will dare to try."

"Second, I am looking for a shortcut for mortals to break through to the extraordinary. The path of Onmyoji requires the qualifications of a mortal, and Minamoto no Raikou's technique of cultivating Onibei is too bloody. I can't stand it."

"I want to find a compromise."

The scene changed, and the atmosphere on the surrounding battlefield suddenly changed.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was in a study room, surrounded by scattered books.

Stories about the supernatural, unofficial history and legends, records of yin and yang techniques, and insights into sword-fighting practice.

Have everything.

He saw "himself" sitting in front of a low desk, his eyes bloodshot, dark circles under his eyes, thinking hard, looking haggard.

At the same time, that "self" was still muttering to himself.

"How to sacrifice the dog god?"

"The dog god is the soul of a dog that lingers in the world after death. It can possess a human and cause them to have a fever, hallucinations, mental disorders, and do some incredible and very evil things."

"It sounds like a supernatural power. Maybe it can be used against demons."

“Let me see how.”

"In coastal areas, some people keep disobedient dogs at home. The owners can't bear to kill them themselves, so they abandon them on rocks in the sea, letting them wail and starve to death. Under certain circumstances, the dog's spirit will turn into a dog god and cause trouble."

"There are two ways that Yin Yang masters create dog gods. One is to raise a loyal dog from childhood to adulthood, cultivate feelings for it, and when the loyal dog reaches adulthood, cut off its head and bury it under the road. By letting millions of people trample on it, the resentment of its soul will increase, allowing it to gain the ability to lean over humans and manipulate them."

"The second method is to bury the loyal dog alive in the ground, leaving only its head exposed. Place food in front of it so that it can only look at it but not eat it. When it is about to starve to death, chop off its head and it will fly away."

"Burn the dog's head until only the skull remains, place it in a dish and offer it as a sacrifice. This will make it serve the caster."

"Note: The formation of the dog god is related to the resentment of dogs, and the success rate is extremely low."

"."

"Another weird method like this! And the success rate is extremely low. Can't those Yin Yang Masters be more careful?"

"This is the true explanation of Yin-Yang Seal Art that I asked for from the White Fox Son. Why is it filled with such third-rate tricks?!"

"Is that bastard kidding me?!"

"Oh, that's all."

Pulling his hair hard, "Uesugi Kiyoshi" let out a long sigh.

"Let's take a long-term view. However, I don't know how long it will take for those sea monsters to come back."

"I don't have much time left."

Chapter 262 Heartbroken

The cover of the book clearly had five Chinese characters written on it: "Jinwu Yutu Ji".

This book has a great origin. It is said to be written by Ampere Seimei himself. It is the core explanation of his Yin-Yang magic and has never been passed down.

Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly felt dazed, and when he came to his senses again, he had become "himself".

The memory was still being unlocked slowly. He took a look at the book of Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit and found that it contained basically all methods of creating "Shikigami".

These methods can be said to be evil ways, but in fact they cannot be simply condemned. However, they are always evil in some ways and are definitely not the right way.

This is because the birth of every "Shikigami" is bound to be accompanied by the death of a "living being".

There is birth and death, which is in line with the concept of Yin and Yang.

Uesugi Kiyoshi does not consider himself a moral saint, but if you ask him to exchange human lives for a "Shikigami", he will not do such a thing.

Next, Uesugi Kiyoshi, who had put himself in the role, spent several extremely torturous days.

He read many books from the Heian period and gained a lot of strange knowledge, but his goal was not achieved at all.

Come to think of it, "allowing mortals to step into the extraordinary realm quickly and without side effects" is the dream goal of countless people with true knowledge. It would be incredible if Uesugi Kiyoshi could conquer a topic that those crazy scientists have devoted all their efforts and spent decades or even their entire lives on but still failed to complete in just a few days.

His life of studying hard came to an abrupt end one day.

In the dark study, the door was pushed open.

It's not that no one has come in these few days. Xing would bring him three meals a day, and Achai would rub against his clothes from time to time with a flattering smile - this dog is quite human-like. It was raised by the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts since it was a child. It traveled thousands of miles, nominally to take up a post, but in reality it was a journey of exile. The Lord of a Hundred Ghosts also wanted to take this dog with him, which shows how much importance Achai is in the heart of the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts.

As for apricots, there is no need to mention them.

According to the memories that slowly unraveled in Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind, during the years when he became the lord and unified Kanto, the people closest to him were two girls and a dog.

There is Xing who has always served him, Akari who has a red sword, and Akari who is the most powerful warrior in Edo Castle, and the "loyal dog" Akashi.

It was obvious that he was in a bad mental state and was in an extremely depressed state. The retainers did not dare to persuade him and could only ask Xing to sound out Uesugi Kiyoshi's attitude indirectly.

Xing was not very good at this job, he just came to deliver three meals a day on time. Seeing that Uesugi Qing was absent-minded and like a madman, he did not dare to persuade him. He plucked up the courage to persuade him a few times, but Uesugi Qing would not listen, so he had to worry with him.

However, the person who came in this time was not Xing who came to deliver food.

The ninja swordsman "Fuma", who was the first to serve under the Lord of the Hundred Demons and a veteran retainer, walked in with heavy steps, stood in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi, and spoke with some difficulty.

"My Lord, something has happened. You'd better go and take a look."

At this time, Uesugi Kiyoshi was in a state of being immersed in the memories of the Lord of a Hundred Demons. His mentality was very consistent with that of the Lord of a Hundred Demons at that time. He ignored Fuma and just studied the book in his hand.

Seeing this, Feng Mo gritted his teeth and continued, "Sir, your beloved dog is in trouble."

Hearing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi was startled and raised his head, revealing bloodshot eyes.

He has an inexplicable liking for Achai. This liking does not come entirely from his memories of his past life, but because in this life, if he did not have the power of the Inugami to back him up, he would have died countless times already.

To be honest, his entire life was given by Inugami.

After hearing this somewhat bad news, Uesugi Kiyoshi took a few seconds to react, then stood up and left without saying a word.

Seeing this, Fengmo hurriedly led the way.
