Chapter 896: Blue Ghost and Red Ghost, a Trial

Hiki Village,

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Wanted criminal, I was once a wanted criminal under Tianling Fengxing! I heard that the reward was very high!"

"Hmm?" After hearing what Jiang Yi said, Ara Taki Ichito hugged one of his younger brothers and said, "This guy was also a wanted criminal before?"

"Yes, yes! Boss!" The younger brother nodded.

"What is my bounty now? Is it higher than his? What I did should rank first among the wanted criminals!" Aratake Ichito said excitedly.

The younger brother smiled awkwardly: "Boss, I don't know how much our bounty is... but it should be... not as high as this lord used to be!"

"What?" Aratake Ichito was a little unhappy.

Over there, Jiang Yi continued: "You admitted to the crime committed by others, attacked the people who came to arrest you, and escaped with your companions. This is the 'bad thing' you did!"

"Boss, Boss." The three younger brothers exclaimed, "He's right."

“So that’s how it is…” Choji stroked his chin.

"Oh, is that so?" The residents of Feimu Village nearby suddenly realized that in this village, everyone is actually an eye. Once the elders' meeting starts, most people can understand who has come to the village and which suspects need to be paid attention to.

Reporting to the guard team at any time has become their daily routine after settling in Himuk Village.

Arata Ichito suddenly shuddered.

When the three younger brothers heard the residents whispering, their faces stiffened and they approached their boss. They were clearly wearing clothes, but why did they look like they were naked in the eyes of the residents of Feimu Village? It was so scary.

The power of the people is unlimited.

The chief of Himeki Village, Washizu, emphasized the oracle so much at the elders' meeting that everyone in Himeki Village became a spy to observe outsiders.

"Anything else you want to ask? If not, let's go!" Jiang Yi touched Daifu's head, "Your parents are safe now, wait for us here, we will be back soon."

Washizu and Hanasari came over upon hearing the noise.

"Your Excellency, we can just send someone there." Washizu said, "We are also investigating this matter. There is also a victim in the village who was attacked by those wandering warriors while transporting goods and fled here."

"According to what he said, he could give money to the wandering warriors he met before and leave his belongings behind. But this time, the wandering warriors were not prepared to talk at all. They just took away all his belongings. Even after he knelt down and begged for mercy, they were still prepared to kill him."

"They are undoubtedly a group of great dangers that need to be eliminated!" His eyes revealed murderous intent. He could not tolerate wandering samurai roaming around nearby, which might endanger the Himiki Village.

"The strange thing about this matter is that there was a demon among the wandering warriors who stopped his accomplices and let the victim go. There was even an internal quarrel among the victims, and they almost got into a fight."

"It seems that they are located near the Taling Sand. We in the Feimu Village were not in a position to take action before, but since you have spoken, we will not allow them to run rampant."

Washizu's voice was like a resurrected evil spirit, carrying with it a bloody smell.

"Lord Jiang Yi, I agree too!" Hua Sanli nodded after hearing the story.

"It's okay, I'll just go there." Jiang Yi told the two of them not to say anything more, "It's better for the people from Feimu Village to stay here to guard against other accidents."

Arata Ichito cursed in his heart, "What an idiot, Qinggui," and seeing Jiang Yi coming, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Seeing that you all know it, I won't hide it anymore."

"The robberies and kidnappings that the Tianling Bugei is investigating were not committed by me."

"The motive for committing the crime is that I've always been living in poverty and haven't had a proper job. I also have to take care of a gang member, which is a huge burden. My life is hard, and committing evil can make me feel better." Arata Ichito became excited as he spoke, "Nonsense! I'm a gangster, and the job of a gangster is to not do their job properly."

"I don't steal or rob. If I can't make a living, I will do some temporary work to earn Mora and live happily! Brothers, follow me. I can go hungry for nine meals in three days and still be energetic enough to pick violets! Shout out to Taki Ichito's concert."

"The other one said that I was taking revenge on them because their leader Kujo Sara took away my God's Eye. That's even more nonsense! I challenged Kujo Sara to a sumo wrestling match, but he didn't dare to accept it."

Hanasari's distinct black and white eyes looked at the proud and shameless ghost tribe with surprise, and then looked at the three younger brothers who were convinced of their boss.

Are humans and ghosts so strange nowadays?

What a great experience.

"The demon clan rarely appears in the eyes of the world. The Tenryo Bugyo has confirmed that the robber is a demon clan member. Are you taking the blame for your fellow clan members? Do you know him?" Washizu asked.

"It seems that you, old man, are really no match for this god. There are still things you don't know." Arata Ichito said, "Well, have you heard of the story of the blue ghost and the red ghost?"

"So that's how it is. I understand now." Washizu did not get angry when he heard Aratake Ichito call him old man, but instead recalled the fairy tale.

A long time ago, there were two good friends. One was a blue ghost and the other was a red ghost. The gentle red ghost always wanted to get close to humans, but people were afraid of ghosts and didn't want to be friends with him.

In order to help the Red Ghost realize his wish, the Green Ghost went to the human village and made trouble everywhere, and then asked the Red Ghost to play the role of a "kind ghost" to drive him away.

An old man with extensive knowledge in Himuk Village spoke softly.

"As expected, the red ghost was accepted by humans because of this, and the blue ghost, who had done all this for his good friend, packed his bags and left quietly in order not to become a burden..."

"This Arataki Ichito is the descendant of the Red Demon..."

Arata Ichito spread his hands: "Regarding the fate of the ghost clan, what is said in fairy tales is true - the blue ghost chose to exile himself, and only the red ghost survived."

"But the rest have nothing to do with real history. Fairy tales only tell beautiful stories and cannot mention the cruel truth."

Daisuke pricked up his ears and listened. The Blue Oni and the wandering samurai were a group of people. They were the ones who took his parents away, so he listened very carefully.

"I'm sorry, Daisuke..." Arata Ichito said, rubbing Daisuke, "The demon tribe got involved."

"It's okay, Ichito. From what the village chief said before, it seems that the ghost brother also has his own difficulties, so he quarreled with his accomplices." Daisuke said, "I believe that those wandering samurai are the real bad guys."

“Hahahahaha!” Arata Ichito laughed dryly a few times, “Well said! We must pursue the truth and justice, not let the bad guys go, and not wrongly accuse the good guys.”

After a pause, back to the topic.

"A long time ago, Inazuma was still very dangerous. At that time, if you wanted to seek the protection of General Raiden, you had to have good relations with humans." Aratake Ichito looked up at the sky. He felt a little embarrassed to give a lecture on the history of the demon tribe to so many people, but these humans in Himiki Village seemed to be a little cuter than those on Narukami Island, so it was okay to talk about it.

"We ghosts are born proud, and it is not easy to 'ask for acceptance from others'. In this process, the ghosts slowly split into two factions."

"The ones who are more friendly to humans are the red demons, and the ones who are more stubborn and obstinate are the blue demons."

"You humans think we are two different races, but in fact there is almost no difference between us. We just rely on painting different colors on our horns to distinguish our positions."

Everyone looked at Araki Ichito's horn, and it turned out that the red color on it was fake.

No wonder it looks glossy and shiny, so gorgeous.

"So, what color was it originally?" Choji looked up curiously, but unfortunately Arotaki Ichito didn't answer him at all.

The Green Ghost had to be sacrificed. It was a cruel decision because humans were very wary of ghosts at that time.

The red ghost tried hard to find a way to live in peace with humans, but the blue ghost would have conflicts with humans from time to time.

Humans don’t care about red ghosts or green ghosts, they just think that ghosts are difficult to get along with.

Arata Ichito spoke slowly.

A story from long ago, carrying the time of the ghost clan.

In order to change, in order to prevent the ghosts from continuing to be excluded by humans, they can be accepted by humans.

The most respected leaders among the Red and Blue Demons stood up, drank and swore an oath.

The Blue Oni will play the role of an evil ghost and help the Red Oni integrate into human society, but the Red Oni must abide by two conditions.

First, ghosts should not have prejudices against humans. They should accept humans in their hearts before being accepted by humans. They should not bully the weak, nor should they give up on themselves.

Second, the red ghosts must integrate into humans, but they must not please humans. The ghosts should win the respect of humans with their upright character, surging blood, and powerful strength.

The red ghost agreed and was willing to maintain their "pride" while continuing the ghost clan's bloodline.

As time passed, the Red Oni continued to exist in human society, but the Green Oni clan, because they decided to sacrifice themselves, became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared from the eyes of the world.

Arata Ichito or most people who have heard of this story never thought that the Blue Oni Clan would actually survive...

The story ends, and Jiang Yi, Arawaki Ito and his brothers set off.

"Many people don't care about the color of the demon's horns, and don't even know that blue demons exist. But the brothers of the 'Arotaki faction' will not make a mistake. They saw with their own eyes a demon whose horns were a different color from mine." Arotaki Ito kept muttering on the way.

"It is very likely that he is a descendant of the Blue Ghost. But if he is a descendant of the Blue Ghost, how could the Blue Ghost, who value 'pride' more than their own lives, do such a thing!"

He was very puzzled. "I really can't accept this. I have always admired the Green Ghost Clan who chose to sacrifice themselves, and I also understand what my ancestors expected of the Ghost Clan's future. Robbery and pillage are not things that the 'pride' of the Ghost Clan would allow!"

"Hey! That god, don't you know everything?" Aratake Ichito said, "I think that the blue ghost must have been deceived or threatened by someone, so he did such a thing. Do you think I'm right?"

Jiang Yi held a talisman with a blooming strange flower in his hand: "The truth is right in front of you, why are you asking me? My answer is that you are wrong! He has his reasons, but he did it voluntarily."

"Okay! Okay!" Arata Ichito sighed, "My original plan didn't want to involve other people, but Daisuke insisted on coming to Himiki Village. I had no choice but to follow him. Fortunately, after observing the villagers here, I think they are good. You, the god, are not bad either! At least you are better than those wandering samurai. If you go out to fight, you will never lose! If Aoki really does something wrong, I will take him with me to turn himself in!"

"You are very responsible!" Jiang Yi praised.

"Of course, I am a 'real man who is the best in the world'!" Araki Ichito said with his hands on his hips, "Going to the prison of Tenryo Bugyo is as familiar to me as going home, and I will never let Qinggui be bullied in the prison."

Stars flickered in Jiang Yi's eyes, and he used divination to peek into the future.

"Let's go here! Mingzhui Beach is the only way to go, and it is also the place where wandering warriors choose to rob. They will appear soon." The talisman in his hand fell to the ground.

Transformed into a blood calamus flower.

As ghosts that grow up in blood and stand between life and death, they are very suitable to absorb the blood and souls of sinners!

This is where she was born, this is the mudflats caressed by the gods, there shouldn't be so much evil spreading here.

Ocean waves, undercurrents, the Sanzu River, flowers blooming all over the battlefield, this place is the underworld.

"Beyond the sea of ​​flowers, rebirth is impermanent."

As the wandering warriors stepped in, a pale red blood moon rose in the sky, the ground became damp, and in the dark waters, patches of hell flowers bloomed.

Hundreds of ghosts, blessings from God, are created in the mind.

The elemental power carrying the breath of death makes this place gloomy, cold, eerie, beautiful and mysterious.

The ghost with green horns among the wandering warriors changed his expression drastically.

The ghostly aura was like that of the Supreme Ghost King or the Supreme Demon, which opened its bloody mouth and suppressed his blood.

"Hurry... hurry up! We seem to have encountered... a ghost, a ghost!"
