Chapter 5157 Something Even More sinister is Coming!
There was a child whose mother died at the hands of a nine-tailed fox. Rumors circulated in the village that she was a fox spirit, which made her the target of much criticism. Other children bullied her, and all the bad things were blamed on her. Only an old man cared about her...
If it weren't for the gender difference, Baili Yuan would have almost suspected that he had joined the Naruto production team.
Baili Yuan, who was investigating various folk legends, quickly came across the legend of the nine-tailed fox.
No, this is no longer a legend, because the villagers all say that the fox spirit is real!
In the Nasu-dake area of Tochigi Prefecture, there has been a legend of the nine-tailed fox since ancient times. In recent years, strange fireballs have been attacking local residents and tourist facilities, which has made the villagers even more fearful.
Soon Baili Yuan found the source of the rumors—a girl named Hongxiang.
Four years ago, Hongxiang went hiking with her mother, but her mother went missing.
After that, whenever Hongxiang went up the mountain, there would be an incident of "foxfire" attack.
Over time, the villagers began to suspect that Hongxiang was a nine-tailed fox spirit in disguise, and that she was the source of everything!
Therefore, the villagers all ostracized Hongxiang. Only one kind old man was willing to occasionally take care of Hongxiang, and the old man did not have any special purpose.
But no matter how Baili Yuan viewed it, the girl named Hongxiang was an ordinary Earthling, not some disguised fox spirit.
Oh, it can't be said that Hongxiang is completely ordinary, because Baili Yuan's inspiration for discovering Hongxiang is very high.
Simply put, Hongxiang has a talent for psychic abilities and has the opportunity to see ghosts.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva taught Baili Yuan the methods of exorcists, including the ability to sense "kindred spirits".
The human form no longer possesses any special abilities from birth; it can only be considered a relatively strong, ordinary child.
There is no origin light within the body as a panacea of energy.
However, the human form is the most special incarnation, possessing "growth potential" and "evolutionary potential" that other incarnations do not have.
Simply put, it means that the human host can learn the power of other systems.
Therefore, if Baili Yuan wants to master special abilities, he can learn and acquire them later in life.
However, he began learning from the perspective and as an ordinary child.
Moreover, he has to comprehend different types of special energies from scratch; he can't directly convert them.
Baili Yuan's original plan was to wait until his human form grew a bit more before he began to sense cosmic energy and rebuild the Cosmic Beast Fist.
Once he has laid a sufficient foundation, he will gradually regain all his past power. At that time, he can simply have his corresponding avatar come and assist him in his cultivation.
After acquiring the methods of exorcists, Baili Yuan discovered that these methods did not have any age requirements; as long as one's innate spirituality was high enough, one could learn them.
Moreover, the exorcism techniques given to exorcists by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are mainly Buddhist in nature.
It just so happens that Baili Yuan was once a Buddhist disciple.
So Baili Yuan gave it a try and easily got the hang of it.
In this way, the human host regained control of spiritual power.
Although these exorcists' methods couldn't make Baili Yuan stronger quickly, they ultimately allowed him to regain control of spiritual power.
This also allowed Baili Yuan to finally use his Zanpakuto again in his human form.
The Zanpakuto is bound to Baili Yuan's soul, but because his human form is an ordinary person, he can only use the Zanpakuto as a regular sword. He can only use the Zanpakuto normally after Baili Yuan transforms.
However, using the Transcendent Battle Device after transformation is more suitable.
This makes the Zanpakuto, a weapon bound to the soul, somewhat awkward.
Fortunately, Baili Yuan regained his spiritual power and regained the ability to wield the power of his Zanpakuto.
According to Baili Yuan's assessment, the exorcist's abilities at most grant him the strength of a silver-level expert.
But thanks to the bond between him and his Zanpakuto, everything about the Zanpakuto was opened to him as soon as he regained his spiritual power!
……
"Lost maiden, I am the greatest exorcist in the world!"
"Having heard that you are troubled by the Nine-Tailed Fox, I have come here specifically to help you!"
Baili Yuan changed into a children's version of a monk's robe and appeared in front of Hong Xiang, saying that he would help Hong Xiang solve her troubles.
As a result, Hongxiang did not reply.
Baili Yuan looked up and saw that Hongxiang was about to drop her pearl, but she stubbornly held it in. Hongxiang angrily said to Baili Yuan, "Are you making fun of me too? I'm not a nine-tailed fox!"
After saying that, Hongxiang turned and ran away.
Baili Yuan: "..."
"I didn't wear the clothes wrong, so why is she reacting like this?" Baili Yuan was speechless.
"Is it possible that it's due to age?" the Easter Egg System suggested.
"Tch, damn discrimination!"
Baili Yuan stomped his foot in displeasure.
He doesn't have the ability to grow bigger quickly now; he can only grow up slowly.
He had his hands behind his back.
"It's alright. Even though the world misunderstands me, I still love this world!"
Suddenly, a group of boys about the same age as Shiratori Kenichi surrounded Hyakuri Enoki.
"Hey kid, what did you say to Hongxiang just now? What made her so angry? How did you make fun of her? Tell us so we can have a laugh."
Looking at the group of unruly kids in front of him, Baili Yuan smiled crookedly and then beckoned to them with his finger.
"Come here, ears."
The little boys curiously bent down and crowded around Baili Yuan, eagerly asking him about his methods of "bullying".
Then, Baili Yuan, one of the brats, threw a big punch and knocked the whole group of brats to the ground.
Although the human host is young, he is very healthy.
"You bunch of bastards, all you do is bully people!"
"Have you finished your homework? Have you learned all your lessons? Did you get a perfect score on your test?"
"You disobedient bunch, you're all going to wet the tatami mats tonight!"
After saying that, Baili Yuan turned and ran.
Once they came to their senses, the mischievous children scrambled to their feet and chased after Baili Yuan, shouting and yelling, but of course, they failed to catch him.
Then night fell.
Baili Yuan released Gengar and sent it to pour water onto the mattresses of the group of naughty children.
Tomorrow, the news of these children wetting the bed will spread throughout the entire village.
Their parents will naturally educate them.
Baili Yuan had long discovered that in this era, children around ten years old who wet the bed would indeed be beaten by their families.
……
Hongxiang climbed up Mount Nasu again, where her mother had disappeared.
Therefore, whenever she is heartbroken, sad, or misses her mother, she comes here to express her longing to the distance.
Suddenly, Hongxiang saw foxfire rising from the mountains ahead, billowing out plumes of smoke, which also carried a fishy, pungent smell of foxes.
"here we go again!"
Hongxiang was frightened; this was not the first time she had seen such a sight.
"The Nine-Tailed Fox must be coming out to hurt others again!"
Just as Hongxiang was scared and wanted to run away.
She turned around and saw the five-year-old child.
Baili Yuan raised his hand to Hong Xiang, "Hi! Need help?"
Something even more sinister is coming! (End of Chapter)
