Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Let's just consider it a good deed.

In any case, Kyosuke Kousaka himself suffered no loss; at most, he just had to waste some breath recommending it to the underworld.

"So, Ling Sha... no, did the Han family and their side prepare themselves? Going to the Underworld might mean facing the crisis of having their very being erased. You know, 'nothingness' has that kind of power."

“They all know that’s what Ling Sha said.”

Su Chang said without hesitation.

Just as Kousaka Kyosuke had thought, Su Chang also welcomed the Han family's spirits to come and support the underworld.

For her, the people around her, her close relatives, and even some casual acquaintances could die at any time. At that time, she would be sad but she would also send her blessings.

However, if the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld is affected, then Su Chang's so-called blessing should no longer exist, right?

be honest.

The reason why Su Chang was not too saddened by the sacrifice of her people was also related to her knowledge of reincarnation. She believed that her people would have a new beginning in their next life, so there was no need to be too upset.

The problem is that the current situation in the underworld is making her a little uneasy.

If someone were to die now, wouldn't they become a true wandering ghost?

“I understand. I will convey this to Lord Enma, and I should be able to give him a reply when I return,” said Kousaka Kyosuke.

Whether Han's family actually raided tombs or not is none of his business; what matters is that they're useful now.

Whether it's the living helping to protect the manor, or the dead intending to maintain order in the underworld, it's all very useful to him.

Don't worry about anything else.

“Okay, I’ll go back and tell Ling Sha now.” Su Chang nodded.

Kyosuke Kosaka patted her head again before letting go of her: "Go ahead."

"Ok!"

Su Chang smiled and waved to Kosaka Kyosuke and the others, then turned and used her movement technique to leave.

Kagura, Kinara, and Kingyo-hime, who remained silent throughout, seemed completely uninterested and didn't ask any questions.

No, Kousaka Kyosuke immediately noticed the intense curiosity flashing in Kingyo's eyes—compared to Kagura and Kinara, who already knew a lot, Kingyo, who had been operating in the Arakawa area these past few days, knew very little, including about the Han family.

I only know a little bit at most.

"Curious?"

Kousaka Kyosuke, who seemed to be raising his hand to cast a spell and preparing to take everyone to the underworld, suddenly turned around and asked Princess Goldfish.

The slightly disappointed Goldfish Princess was stunned for a moment, then immediately became angry: "You bullied me again?!"

Kyosuke Kosaka thought to himself, "It has the feel of the Moon God, but it's still a little different."

429. The State of the Underworld / The Spider Lily and the River of Three Crossings / Enma

The underworld.

As soon as the group arrived at their destination, they were greeted by a world corrupted by the rain of sin.

Yes, it's not just the core area of ​​the underworld that's being corrupted by the rain of sin; other parts of the underworld are also affected.

"This is the rain of sin, filled with evil..."

Kinnara stared blankly at the falling eerie black rain, his gaze drifting to the distant underworld.

Above the Netherworld, there are deep rifts that resemble the gaping maws of greed. Countless rifts extend from these even more distant rifts, and amidst deafening roars, the Netherworld begins to separate and shatter.

After staring intently for several seconds, Kinnara finally discovered that there was indeed a "void" in the underworld.

It is this "nothingness" that is the culprit, causing such great turmoil in the underworld!

Naturally, this is also related to the sinful rain.

The corrosive influence of the rain of sins has made the underworld increasingly unstable.

"Kyosuke!" Princess Goldfish looked at the black rain in surprise. "I don't think I can easily control them!"

The rain of sin will also fall into the Sanzu River. If that's the case, then Princess Goldfish, who was hoping to control the waters of the Sanzu River to provide support, will most likely be unable to help.

"It will take a lot of effort, right? But don't worry, I'll help you."

Kyosuke Kosaka raised his hand and pointed at Princess Goldfish's forehead.

The Goldfish Princess, who did not try to dodge, opened her eyes wide. An extremely powerful spiritual energy flowed into her body, and she could feel that her ability to control the water had suddenly become much stronger!

"Spiritual power……"

"Stunned, aren't you?"

"No way!" Princess Goldfish rolled her eyes at Kyosuke Kousaka.

With her stubborn personality, she naturally wouldn't easily back down or admit defeat.

"Wait a minute!" Princess Goldfish suddenly realized, "If you're so strong, why do you need me to come?"

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I want you to keep me company."

"Don't think I'll be happy just because you say that..." Princess Goldfish awkwardly turned her head away, her heart pounding.

Kinnara explained enthusiastically, "There are other reasons too~ Kyosuke has become much stronger since the battle with Yamata no Orochi, and he can even enhance our power through spiritual energy~"

Princess Goldfish, who was actually quite happy, was no longer so.

His head, which had been hanging down, suddenly lifted up, and he looked to the side, seemingly looking at something.

Kyosuke Kosaka found it amusing; he felt that Princess Goldfish had quite a bit of inner monologue.

Kagura, standing to the side, remained the most composed.

Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't help but secretly stroke Kagura's hair.

For now, we can't let anyone find out, otherwise we'll all have to pat their heads again.

"..." Kagura remained quiet, enjoying the subtle special treatment as peacefully as a cat taking a nap.

"By the way, Kyosuke, where did the other yokai go?"

Kinnara, whose gaze had shifted elsewhere, then thought of another question.

Kyosuke Kosaka replied, "They've hidden away in other areas untouched by the rain of sin. After all, those evil gods haven't fully descended yet, so their influence is still limited."

The Yin realm corresponds to the Yang realm, and its area is naturally the same as that of the Yang realm.

The environment was empty and desolate, unlike the human world where people gathered.

It is, after all, the territory inhabited by many monsters in the world. And the personalities of monsters are mostly strange and eccentric, like Menreiki and Hako-onna no Shoujo. They would not gather together casually, let alone build houses indiscriminately.

Just like the monsters in the mortal world, the monster market is just a special exception.

Unless it's a situation like the White Wolf Clan, where there are groups.

"Oh, is that so? Then let's hurry up and go support the Spider Lily~" Kinnara said again.

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded in agreement and began to lead the way.

Soon, the group arrived at the temporary residence where Higanbana and Qingji were staying.

It was a place still eroded by the rain of sin, but Kyosuke Kousaka had specially set up a powerful barrier there.

The barrier not only stabilizes the space but also protects the people inside from any corruption.

"Kyosuke, Kagura, Kinara, and Kingyo-hime, you've arrived~"

Upon their arrival, Qingji waved to them warmly.

Qingji was somewhat surprised that the Goldfish Princess, whom she had almost never met, had also come, but she wasn't too curious. After all, the Goldfish Princess was one of Kousaka Kyosuke's shikigami, so it was normal for her to come and help.

"Welcome, everyone. Thank you for coming all this way. I've prepared some herbal tea."

It's rare for the red spider lily to kneel down and serve tea to everyone.

This was originally Qingji's job, but today it's her doing it, which is quite unusual.

"Huh? Want some tea?" Princess Goldfish asked blankly. "The situation must be pretty urgent right now, right?"

The spider lily laughed and said, "It's not too urgent. The flowers I lost in the Sanzu River might come back on their own, because I suddenly discovered that they seem to have absorbed some sins and become special."

Princess Goldfish exclaimed in disbelief, "This is evil! Evil spread by an evil god! Is this really alright?"

She knows a lot of information about the world because she is Kousaka Kyosuke's shikigami.

It is thus clear that evil gods are theoretically the progenitors of demons and ghosts in the world.

In ancient times, there were no demons or ghosts in the world, only humans. However, after evil gods bewitched humans and caused them to commit sins, demons and ghosts were born in the world.

From the above point of view, it is not unreasonable to say that the Seven Evil Gods are the progenitors of demons and ghosts.

But Princess Goldfish would never admit it, and she believed that many of her kind must think the same way.

Even so, one must still be wary of these evil gods, especially the evil they spread. After being reminded by Kyosuke Kousaka, Princess Goldfish learned that if she touched them directly, her emotions would descend into madness, leading to her fall into demonic possession from which she could not extricate herself.

At this moment, Princess Goldfish is worried that the spider lily will turn out like this.

"Are you sure everything's okay?" Kagura, like Kingyo-hime, was worried.

The red spider lily nodded gently: "No problem. I won't be so careless as to take back those flowers that I can't fully control yet. For now, I'll just treat them as eyes and ears and put them aside, just like before."
