Chapter 69: Mountain Rabbit and Demon Frog
Roar!
There was another fierce and terrifying roar of a lion that shook the mountains and forests.
All the beasts in the forest fled, especially the little monsters that had already developed some intelligence, who tried their best to hide or pretend to be dead.
The three goldfish in the deep pool used their limited magical power to hide their third tail.
The monkey on the old tree, who was about to open his third eye, quickly closed his third eye, blended into the monkey group, and disguised himself as an ordinary little monkey.
The purple-furred squirrel crawled into its own tree hole and carefully blocked the entrance with fallen bark.
The bamboo green plant, which is as thick as a bowl, shrinks its body and looks like an inconspicuous green vine, entwined around the top of the bamboo.
This is not good, because I am obviously the king of the mountain here!
Everything here is his territory. How can he allow a new mountain overlord to emerge?
Moreover, it wantonly frightened the mountain people under its rule, making them nervous and panic-stricken.
He was even roaring in the middle of the night, not giving any face to the mountain king at all!
"Mr. Frog, Mr. Frog, wake up, wake up, come with me and take a look."
"Mr. Frog, Mr. Frog..."
"Mr. Frog, if you don't wake up, I will pull out all your hair."
A childish voice like the whisper of a devil sounded.
Then, a dark green magic frog jumped out from a small pool in a mountain stream.
It is hundreds of times larger than ordinary frogs, about two meters tall, with a strong body, three eyes, the middle one is a vertical eye, with a faint light flowing, which is very intimidating.
"Hehe, Mr. Frog, you finally woke up."
Standing on the smooth stone in the stream, there was a slender and lovely figure. She squatted slightly, then jumped up and landed on the head of the magic frog.
Then she stretched out her snow-white and tender little hands, grabbed a few blades of grass on the magic frog's head, and after sitting firmly, she gently patted the magic frog's head with her palms.
"Mr. Frog, let's go and see who wants to challenge the King of the Mountain."
The magic frog didn't say a word. It exerted force with its hind legs and jumped more than ten meters. It landed silently and repeated this action until it reached the source of the lion's roar.
Roar!
Another round of lion roars was heard, the mountains and forests shook, and the leaves rustled.
The sound wave traveled very far, and wherever it passed, all beasts retreated and plants and trees bowed their heads.
The magic frog, which was originally moving forward, stopped and stayed where it was without moving.
On the head, the slender and cute figure stretched out her hands and pulled her erect rabbit ears, making them bend and curl up to block out the not-so-pleasant sound.
After the sound faded away, she slowly let go of the corner of her ear and blinked her eyes, revealing an emotion of unhappiness and curiosity.
"Mr. Frog, why don't you keep going?"
"Quack."
"We are going to drive the invaders out of the forest together?"
"Quack."
"How can you be afraid? You are the second king of this forest, second only to me."
"Quack quack..."
“Is the gap really that big?”
"Quack!"
"But since we're here, why not take a peek?"
"..."
"Mr. Frog, we can't just run away without even knowing what the invader looks like, right? That would be too embarrassing. I am the king of this forest..."
"Cuck!"
This time, the magic frog only uttered its first call, then suddenly exerted force with its hind legs and leaped its entire body back seven or eight meters.
"Mr. Frog..."
The figure on the magic frog's head was about to say something when she saw a burly human figure passing through the dense forest and appearing in her sight.
She only took a glance and felt a powerful and terrifying force from the man.
So scary, so ferocious!
This is an existence even more powerful than Mr. Frog.
She quickly lowered her head, leaving only her small hands holding onto a few blades of grass on top of the magic frog's head.
Perhaps she realized that her ears were a little too long, so she quickly let go of the little hands that were holding the grass and grabbed her own ears to cover them up.
"Quack, quack, quack."
"Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
"Quack." "Unfortunately, I don't understand your language."
"Quack quack..."
The magic frog stretched out its right front jade and pointed behind itself, indicating that it would leave immediately and would never stay here again.
"Amitabha, don't worry too much. God is merciful and compassionate. Buddha will not break the precepts and kill people at will."
"Quagua?"
The vigilance in the vertical eye in the middle of the magic frog weakened slightly.
It could feel that the opponent was obviously stronger than it, and much stronger. If the opponent really wanted to subdue demons and monsters, it would definitely not be able to escape.
"Mr. Frog, don't listen to him. He is lying. He has killed many demons and monsters."
A weak and childish voice was heard, and the magic frog's body tensed up instantly. It looked at the young man in front of it as if facing a formidable enemy, not daring to have any more chances.
"If I encounter any demon or monster that harms people, I will definitely save them."
Pinggong Qianye answered frankly, then looked up curiously at the head of the magic frog. He could only vaguely see a small tuft of pink and white hair, like the fluff of some animal.
The voice is tender and crisp, just like a child's voice.
Hmm, such a combination... Magic Frog and Mountain Rabbit?
Pinggong Qianye seemed to have thought of something, and smiled as he said, "It turns out that what was hidden was a little rabbit."
"I, I'm not a little rabbit, I'm a mountain rabbit, the king of this forest!"
After her identity was exposed, Yamausagi no longer hid. She stood up, put her hands on her hips, looked down at Pinggong Chiye with a pair of ruby eyes.
The pair of pink fluffy, erect rabbit ears moved slightly, which was very interesting.
She is about 60 cm tall, with a small face and all the facial features, like a human child of six or seven years old, very cute.
"It turns out to be the Mountain Rabbit King."
Pinggong Qianye couldn't hide the smile on his face, he didn't expect that just by coming to this deep forest to practice the Lion Roar Skill, he could actually meet the legendary mountain rabbit.
Moreover, she is as cute as the legend says, and rides a magic frog that is obviously much more powerful than her.
"Do you recognize me?" The mountain rabbit tilted its head slightly to the right and asked curiously.
"know."
Pinggong Chiye couldn't say that he had ever played her in the game.
There are only a few famous monsters in Japan, and all those that are somewhat famous have been made into game characters and put on mobile phone screens.
For example, the image of Yamausagi appears in "Onmyoji" and "Battle of Onmyoji" produced by a pig farm.
And it is very similar to the image of the mountain rabbit standing in front of him.
"Since you know me, you should know that this is my territory." The mountain rabbit said with a stern face, "You are not allowed to yell like that again. You will scare the other monsters in the forest that have not yet taken shape."
Pinggong Qianye was curious about this, "Have all you monsters left the city and run to the mountains and forests now?"
He really didn't encounter any monsters in the city, most of them were evil ghosts and evil spirits.
"I, I can't say."
Yamausagi squatted down and buried her head, leaving only a pair of rabbit ears exposed, as if she was afraid that Pinggong Qianye would continue to ask her this question.
"Mr. Frog, let's get out of here."
The magic frog first glanced at Pinggong Qianye, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping it, it dared to turn around, slowly took small steps backwards, and jumped.
Soon, it left here with the mountain rabbit, the king of the forest, and disappeared among the mountains and dense forests.
"really interesting."
Pinggong Qianye didn't think too much about this coincidence.
To subdue demons and eliminate evil, to kill and liberate those who are harmful to people.
The mountain rabbit and magic frog that appeared tonight were the same as the mountain boy before, with no bloody smell on their bodies, proving that they had never harmed anyone.
Pinggong Qianye would never kill these intelligent monsters that never hurt anyone with just one slap.
If all mortal demons must be killed, then at least million of Japan's 8 million gods would have to die.
So as to how to deal with such beings, the Onmyoji lineage tries to persuade or defeat them and make them into commandable Shikigami.
The most famous one is the big Tengu.
The Shinto tradition enfeoffs various gods to protect the land and its inhabitants. This is also the origin of Japan's eight million gods.
The Buddhist school chooses to convert them by introducing them into Buddhism and letting them listen to the Dharma.
From the Buddhist point of view, converting demons to good and cultivating Buddhism, and becoming a member of the Buddhist community, is a great merit.
This seems to be an ancient tradition.
