Chapter 139 Find yourself
Not everyone can possess a Shikigami. For Onmyoji, it is common to use their own spiritual power to subdue Shikigami, support Shikigami, and borrow the power of Shikigami, but all of these require spiritual power as a medium.
However, this does not mean that you cannot have a Shikigami without spiritual power. In fact, there is a more demanding Shikigami contract, which can extract the power of the Shikigami, including vitality, for your own use, and the Shikigami cannot even make any resistance.
From this we can see that who invented, no, who ordered the Onmyoji to invent this contract was those high-ranking officials.
They have wealth, land, power, and everything, except they do not live long enough to enjoy it all. Therefore, other than humans, powerful and long-lived monsters become the objects of their greedy demands.
It can be said to be a shikigami, but its essence is still a monster, just with a different name. What good will come of absorbing the power of a monster?
If there really was such a cheap thing, Onmyoji would have used it long ago. After all, monsters are completely different from humans, and their power is highly corrosive. Therefore, once one absorbs the power of monsters, one will be irreversibly transformed into a monster.
Onmyoji possesses spiritual power and can resist to some extent, but ordinary people don't have this ability.
However, the hearts of these people are full of greed and desire, and their dark side is probably even greater than that of monsters, so they are completely unable to resist the erosion. It can even be said that their dark and twisted desires drag the power of monsters to degenerate, and they will become monsters more terrifying than monsters.
Because the degeneration was too rapid and the consequences were too severe, this method was actively blocked by the Onmyoji community and gradually became unknown.
Qing took it out on his own initiative. First, he was under too much competitive pressure now, and second, he was afraid that Sha would also know it, so it would be better for him to say it out loud. In addition, the lord was different.
As an Onmyoji, Qing's perception ability is not weak, so he can sense that the lord's physique is probably not inferior to that of a demon. At the same time, he has the blessing of the gods, so he has a stronger resistance than the Onmyoji.
Qing explained all this to Yan Xu in advance, and he understood it as soon as he heard it.
As long as he uses incense to activate the divine attack and increase his divine power, he will be able to forcibly refresh and correct the distortion and pollution in his body and will without having to worry about falling into demonization.
Of course, no matter what, there are risks involved, but Yan Xu ignored all the risks. His desire for power made him more impulsive and radical.
Since Yan Xu had made the decision, there was no room for others to object, so they all took action.
The body of Daimyo Fukushima will not be wasted, but will be decomposed into materials for the ceremony. From this point of view, Yan Xu is no better than Fu Ji. They are both filial, and they are filial piety as husband and wife.
This is a huge project. A snake body that is 30 to 40 meters long is not so easy to decompose, not to mention that it needs further processing before it can become the material needed for the ceremony.
Finally, Yan Xu, who had become impatient with waiting, used the luck points gained from this battle and recruited ten Onmyojis in one go, all of whom chose to seal their advanced skills.
Qing, who was somewhat skeptical about life, had to accept the cruel reality that she had a group of new colleagues. She was forced to roll up her sleeves and work hard, just like the old employees of the company seeing the cheap graduates who had just been hired. It would be strange if they could sit still.
Faced with the Fukushima Daimyo who was gradually turning into pieces of skin and bones, Princess Fukushima remained calm and waited quietly for the ceremony to begin, which made Yan Xu sigh that the Japanese people are really perverted.
But who can resist a beautiful and perverted Japanese princess who will obey his or her every word?
Yan Xu asked himself that even though he didn't like it, it didn't mean he would refuse it, so he became even more excited.
Standing at the center of the ceremony, Princess Fukushima calmly swallowed the blood crystal taken from the heart of Daimyo Fukushima. Her blood, which had been eager to awaken, began to merge with the new blood. The round dragon horns on her forehead began to grow and the first fork appeared. Her limbs were also covered with dark green scales. Her eyes turned into the vertical pupils of cold-blooded animals, and her hair turned dark blue. She looked like a character from a web game in her previous life who appeared in reality.
As the Onmyojis cast the curse, the corpse of Daimyo Fukushima, which was used as ritual material, slowly turned into glowing dust, and then surrounded Princess Fukushima as a medium, imprinting the huge seal on her in the form of blood, and closely linking her to Yan Xu, but the ownership was in the hands of one party.
As long as Yan Xu is willing, he can do whatever he wants, including draining Fukushima Ji's strength and life, as long as he can withstand this power.
However, it was only then that Yan Xu discovered the potential risks in the ceremony. Although the contract was mandatory and irresistible, once one of the parties to the contract harbored resistance and resentment, the seeds of destruction would be planted in the contract. No wonder the previous users had fallen so quickly.
Fortunately, Fukushima-hime does not have these problems. It is hard to describe whether she is paranoid or perverted. She is about to lose her freedom and even lose herself, but she does not have any resistance or resentment from the bottom of her heart. She simply regards herself as a tool. As long as there is a need, she will do anything. Yan Xu does not understand how she developed such a mentality.
In fact, this is because Yan Xu does not understand the situation. This is not only the case in Japan, but also in Central China. Women are just tools for marriage for aristocratic families. In order to achieve this goal and eliminate the concerns of their in-laws, these women have been educated since childhood that men are the sky, that is, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. As long as they get married, they will wholeheartedly think about their husband's family.
But the Japanese are inherently paranoid, so it is not surprising that Princess Fukushima has such a mentality.
With the completion of the contract, Yan Xu immediately felt the benefits of it. It was not that he gained strength from Fukushima Princess, but that he had a way to vent. This greatly relieved his mental stress and purified the accumulated negative emotions.
In more than a year, Yan Xu changed from a timid and cowardly person to a ruthless man who kills people without blinking an eye and burns down a city at will. It is conceivable how great the change in his personality is, how much mental pressure he is under, and how many negative emotions he has in his heart.
And this was not a natural change. First, there was something wrong with his body. Various off-the-charts endocrine system made him manic and irritable, and he started killing people unconsciously. Then, he was influenced by those seven little cuties and directly broke through the record of killing hundreds of people. He killed people indiscriminately in the Magic City, and even frightened those unscrupulous bastards. It can be seen how murderous he was.
After arriving in Japan, the future situation and previous arrangements pushed him to start a war, which started with a city-destroying war, making his problems even worse.
At this moment, he completed a deeper contract with Fukushima-hime, and all the accumulated negative things had a way and channel to vent.
This is mainly related to the two characteristics acquired by Fukushima Ji. The dragon girl's bloodline gives her the ability to be pure and clean. Not only is her body spotless, but her mind is also as cold and indifferent as an ancient well, which is just right to calm Yan Xu's still manic heart.
Xiangliu's bloodline is no worse than the dragon girl's bloodline, but it tends to be negative, giving Fukushima Ji the ability to absorb negative emotions and transform them into her own strength, which is just right to absorb the negative energy that Yan Xu has nowhere to vent.
At this moment, Yan Xu's mind became clear, and he felt like he had completely woken up from an uncontrollable lucid dream.
It's the kind of dream where you know you are dreaming but you have no control over the plot and can only let it develop.
God knows how he spent this period of time. It was apparently a very enjoyable trip to the other world at the beginning, but since when did he start to force himself to work hard, to struggle, to fight and to grow?
Although there was nothing wrong with these, he was too anxious and made himself too tense, like a bow stretched to its limit, which seemed very intimidating but could break at any time.
Yan Xu has ambitions, but they are not big. After all, he wants to be free and easy. However, what he is doing now is completely contrary to his ambitions. No wonder he has accumulated so many negative emotions.
With Fukushima-ji's help in clearing the blockage, Yan Xu now felt like he had untied the chains on his body, escaped from the bloody and dirty water, and was washed clean by clean water, and he found himself again.
