Shuten-doji paused and turned back with a look of confusion on his face.

"Different colors?"

"I have never heard of that."

"Humph, your situation is special. All of this comes from the Hundred Demons Scroll. Don't ask me for the specific details. I don't know everything."

"By the way, aren't you on good terms with the Lord of the Hundred Tales? Go ask her! There are few things in this world that she doesn't know!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask quickly, "The last question is, what is the purpose of those beliefs condensed into light?"

This question made Shuten-doji's expression change.

"What's the use? Many gods can condense that faith into divine power and use it as a high-level supernatural power. When combined with the abilities of the gods, it can have different changes."

"You have also seen my Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. In a sense, it is using the spirits of the demons of Mount Oe. It can also be regarded as a use of the power of faith."

"But this is not the main function."

"Have you ever seen a ship in the sea?"

Shuten-doji suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't know what he meant, but nodded subconsciously - of course he had seen it.

"The Dream Mirror is actually the [Spiritual World], the [Sea of ​​Consciousness] of this planet."

"Then, in this sea of ​​consciousness, gods and ghosts are nothing more than a solitary boat."

"The ship needs an anchor to stay steady."

"That faith starts from the living beings and ends in your soul. When they are gathered together, it is your anchor!"

"It comes from this world, crosses the two worlds, and firmly holds the anchor of your soul!"

Shuten-doji leaped forward and turned into a lifelike portrait, leaving only his voice echoing in the mirage.

"As for the use of anchors, have you ever sunk?"

"Sinking is the storm in the sea, coming from sea monsters that stir up the waves, or the capricious sky."

"But if the anchor is heavy enough, even the strongest wind and rain cannot overturn your boat!"

"This is why all ghosts and gods aspire to become gods."

Chapter 162 Apricot and Yingcao

Uesugi Qingqing is a top student.

The academic masters generally have good associative and thinking expansion abilities.

He understood the metaphor that Shuten-doji just told him - if the number of believers reaches a certain level, they can temper their souls to be tougher and thus avoid falling. That's probably what it meant.

Well, it is not difficult to understand that through "faith" we can strengthen the soul of "God".

With this in mind, we can also infer why gods need the prayers of believers to descend - because this will make their souls stronger, enough to break through the shackles of dreams and reality.

The only thing that made Uesugi Kiyoshi think deeply was that sentence.

Sinking is the storm in the sea, coming from sea monsters that stir up waves, or the capricious sky.

The sea monsters that stir up trouble can be understood as ghosts and gods that are eyeing you with eager eyes.

What does the capricious sky represent?

He always felt that this sentence was full of profound meaning.

Also, does Fuyao really know everything about gods?

Otherwise, go ask tomorrow.

Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't stand this feeling of being full of suspicion. He always felt like he was being scratched by a cat, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

When he came back to his senses from his thoughts, he shifted his attention to Nohara Kyoko in front of him.

At this time, Nohara Anzi was secretly observing the murals around the Mirage Tower. Her attention was focused on the portrait of Uesugi Kiyoshi, who was wearing a Wu costume, a sword on his waist, and a mysterious smile on his face.

There was also the girl next to her who was wearing an elegant blue yukata and looked very much like her.

For some reason, when she saw this picture, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and her mood became very happy.

Maybe it's because I'm with Uesugi-kun? Even though it's just a picture.

But, just see this scene.

Be it some ferocious monsters or some bizarre scenes.

It doesn't matter anymore.

In her eyes, there was no room for anything else.

The fantasy of the young girl Nohara Anko was cruelly shattered by Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi struggled to organize his words, trying to explain the supernatural, ghosts, dreams, and gods to Nohara Anko.

However, halfway through his speech, he saw Nohara Anko's undisguised confusion and simply gave up.

Forget it, why should I go through so much trouble?

Those are apricots.

After reorganizing his thoughts, Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled faintly and changed his tone to a relaxed one.

"Xingzi, this is my secret base. I just invited you to be my guest."

"You know, I have many unusual abilities."

"Ignore that red-haired weirdo. Just pretend he doesn't exist."

"There may be more guests coming here in the future. Xingzi, do you want to stay here and help me?"

As expected, Nohara Anzi nodded frantically.

She felt more like a little excited.

Mr. Uesugi invited me to such an important place. Didn't he treat me as an outsider?

She didn't think about where this place was, how she got here, or who the Demon King Shuten was.

She believed whatever Uesugi Kiyoshi said, and then obediently followed Uesugi Kiyoshi's wishes without any thought of disobedience.

Nohara Anko possesses all the qualities that a traditional Japanese woman should have: simplicity, gentleness, hard work, and she focuses on the person she loves, even if it means isolating herself from the whole world.

These may not be worth promoting in today's society, but they are very likable.

At least Uesugi Kiyoshi likes it very much.

Seeing Nohara Anko following behind her softly, with her head down, her face red, and not speaking, obviously in the state of a shy little wife, Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled helplessly, touched his chin, looked at the statue, and began to think about how to maximize the effect of this thing.

If Nohara Anzi can come in, then most of the people who carry the evil spirit can also be pulled into the mirage by him.

In order to verify this idea, he fell into the state of soul synchronization again and re-entered the Sea of ​​Gods.

This time, he carefully discerned the thoughts conveyed by the starlight.

There are really a lot of acquaintances.

There is no doubt that there are Dong Wen Zhenxi and Liu Longren, the two people who carry demonic spirits.

However, the light of Touwen Maki was a light milky white, while that of Liu Longren was orange-yellow. Uesugi Kiyoshi felt it and felt that as long as he wanted, he could easily pull these two people into his dream mirror.

Instead of trying, he began to sense the stars that were glowing red.

The idea was like a stone sinking into the ocean, leaving nothing behind.

He did not dwell on it, but quickly changed his focus and began to sense the stars in the sky in detail.

Just as Shuten-douji said, the thread of faith is the strongest, and those who look extraordinary are basically extraordinary people.

There are many acquaintances.

Thanks to the demon soul, Maki Toufumi, Ryuto Liu, and Xiao Xingzi.

It should be Kudo Yuichi, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and even Dazai Osamu, who are connected by friendship and trust. Uesugi Kiyoshi only met him once, but that inconspicuous thread does exist.

If we count further, there are a lot of them, the two swords of the Touwenkai, the members of Touwen Jue's personal guards, the Yakuza gangsters who have seen the power of Uesugi Kiyoshi, Ueno Mitsuishi who has been following him recently, and even the few bad boys who he and Touwen Maki showed off their skills a few days ago to shock the Genkai and subdue them.

From dazzling to dim, countless shining threads weave into a tight and omnipresent web, as if wrapping the universe in it.

Calm down and keep your mind calm.

The eyes opened and the starlight gathered in them.

In just a moment, the huge, complicated and chaotic thoughts were about to drive Uesugi Kiyoshi crazy.

He had no doubt that if he opened his mind and accepted the thoughts of all living beings in the sea of ​​stars, he would be turned into an idiot within a second.

Before he could catch his breath, he heard Nohara Anko's exclamation.

He hurriedly looked back and saw a scene that surprised him.

Orange, blue and cyan lights alternated on Nohara Kyoko's body.

At this moment, she was standing in front of the mural of One Hundred Demons Scroll, facing the portrait of "Yingcao" on it.

In an instant, the image of Yingcao on the scroll of one hundred demons disappeared without a trace.

Nohara Anzi's pretty face was a little panicked. Her original home clothes were changed into a well-fitting yukata in the colorful light.

It was exactly the same as the Yingcao that Uesugi Kiyoshi had seen in the Hundred Demons Scroll before, without any difference.

Uesugi Kiyoshi took a few steps forward anxiously.

When he came to Nohara Anko, his expression became strange.

He felt the vitality, the abundance of power, and the mirage that was as real as a substance.

It just corresponds to Yingcao's ability as a monster and the Hundred Stories ability she condenses.

He was stunned for a moment, looked at Nohara Anko with complicated eyes, then looked at the statue on the Stairs to the Gods, and let out a breath.

"I see."

"Is this how this thing is used in conjunction with the Hundred Demons Scroll?"
