Otaku Witch
Chapter 1058 - 1058: 628. Mountain Ghost, City Person_2

Ibuki Yuuki nodded at the words.

"Alright, I understand, I'll be careful."

Miss Oiran finally decided not to go up the mountain; she still needed to stay on Flower Street to gather more information and act as an inside agent for the Judgment Court's upcoming plans.

Moreover, with her strength as a Peak Witch, she might not be invincible on this Japan island, but she at least had some ability for self-preservation; it shouldn't be easy for anyone to subdue her casually.

That was how the Ghost King's Daughter thought.

On the other side, Aoandon let out a sigh of relief. At last, someone listened to her advice; thinking of this, Miss Demon suddenly found the little witch without Spirit Root to become much more pleasing to the eye.

Yes, although this little fellow had poor talent and didn't cherish opportunities, at least she listened to others, which still made her a good child.

"Alright, let's proceed with the Hundred Stories session."

The Bodhisattva Qing Deng stood up and somewhat impatiently said to the Hyakki Witch.

Hundred Stories — this had become a customary activity of the Hyakki Festival and was also Aoandon's examination of the Hyakki Witch's cultivation.

Next, the Hyakki Witch would explain her understanding and taste of Hyakki Buddhist Dharma one by one. If anyone's state met the standard, then this understanding could be transformed into a blue lamp by Aoandon's ability.

This was her special talent as a transmitter of Dharma Buddha Lamps.

The Buddha left a saying: when the hundred ghosts appear, the saint emerges.

In Aoandon's understanding, it was approximately about gathering a hundred lamps, indicating that her chance of encountering the saint was imminent.

In the past tens of thousands of years, Aoandon had already collected 97 lamps.

However, now the inheritances of the Great Tengu and Tamamo-no-Mae have found a master. These two inheritances are being obtained for the first time, almost certainly to condense a lamp, so basically, she's just one lamp away from completing the Hundred Stories.

Miss Demon looked forward to someone supplementing her with that last lamp at this Hyakki feast.

As she anticipated this, the Bodhisattva's aureole behind her head emitted a great light, and a virtual scroll depicting a complete Night Parade of Hyakki slowly unfolded.

In the painting, it's true that there are far more than a hundred ghosts, but among them, only 97 images are clear and distinct, while many spots remain dark and unknown silhouettes. (Haha, my illustration book was almost all black back then; do you understand Tsukimi Kuro's value?)

Below the stage, the Hyakki Witch was very familiar with the rules of the Hundred Stories, so soon, someone began their narrative.

"Then let me, Kujo Minren, lead the way."

The former master of Monster Mountain, Kujo Minren, was the first to speak.

"I am a Crow Divine Dog, the tengu inheritance is complex, I specialize in the power of wind and thunder, and have some humble opinions about it over the years..."

She slowly narrated, showing herself as worthy of being a former master of Monster Mountain, one of the strongest beings now on Japan island. Her narrative of the secret technique of wind and thunder made The Witches listen in fascination and gain significant insight.

Even Dorothy nodded repeatedly, she knew a little about the Evocation Series magic.

She used to be adept at fire elements, being a member of the Fireball Spell Sect.

However, after Witch's Night, her comprehension of the rock element moved forward, always using the Little Fatty Dragon's earth-eating template.

Now, listening to Kujo Minren's narrative, Dorothy was inspired, and her understanding of wind and thunder elements also made new progress.

"Wonderful, wonderful, I love such learning seminars; more, give me more."

Homebody Witch cheered in her heart, enjoying the experience gathering spree.

After Kujo Minren finished, a blue lamp condensed before Aoandon, then got invested in the Crow Divine Dog image in the Night Parade of Hyakki map behind her.

Yet, it was of no use, as the Crow Divine Dog image was already lit, with the figure in the painting being unmistakably Kujo Minren.

This couldn't help but make Aoandon sigh slightly in regret.

Good news, a hit, delivered right away.

Bad news, it's a duplicate; treasure tool potential seat joy +1.

The challenge in collecting these Hyakki lamps lies here, likely having lamps, but the vast majority are repeats. While these duplicate lamps are not without use as future references for Dharma transmission and to aid future cultivation, they provide little progress on the Buddha's task.

Nonetheless, with Kujo Minren taking the lead, the Hyakki Witch below the stage became lively, and soon everyone stood up and began their narratives.

"I am the Wood Charm Witch, Wood Charm being the spirit of nature, adept in pharmacology and planting..."

"I'm the Mountain Goblin Witch, having no specialties, just stronger, with some personal understanding of Martial Arts..."

"I am Bone Woman, adept in Illusion Technique and Charm Art; I have a dance, please take a look..."

"I'm also a Mountain Goblin, but my Martial Arts isn't as good as the previous sister's, so I'll not embarrass myself, but I have some insights into the path of the earth..."

"I am the Human Face Tree, a deep emotion ghost, love being the most bitter word, I..."

The Hyakki Witch spokes one by one, but their narratives varied in quality. These witches lacked the Peak Boundary, were among the weaker Hyakki Witch, being merely Elite or common Great Witches.

The vast majority of narratives did not ignite any lamps, and occasionally there would be one or two lamps, yet they were all repeats.
