Cthulhu Fantasy : I Am The Great Old One

The Yin-Yang Master named Yamada Nobunaga was leaning against a tree as he counted the few copper coins left in his purse with a bitter expression on his face.    

Even if he saved the money, it would only be enough for him to spend another five days.    

However, he had been unable to accept any requests recently.    

It should have been a good time to accept requests. After all, most of the official Yin Yang Masters and monks had gone to Peace Capital. It was said that the Heavenly Emperor had encountered a demon, so he had gathered many magic users to help the Heavenly Emperor dispel the evil - but this kind of recruitment would not be directed to Yin Yang Masters like him.    

To put it nicely, it was called 'Broadcasting Grind'. To put it bluntly, it was just an unorthodox way of doing things. The officials would not recognize their identities. They could only call themselves Broadcasting Grind - compared to the Peace Capital that represented the officials, broadcasting Grind could be said to be a barren land. It was called the Broadcast Grinder. In a sense, it was also the mockery of these Yin-Yang Masters and Magical Energy Monks towards themselves.    

Who asked him to not have a good family background?    

He did not have the system's inheritance. He had only learned a few magic arts techniques and had to bite the bullet to defeat the demons and get rid of the ghosts. This was the current situation of spreading the news and sharpening it. Of course, there were also some outstanding people in the program. For example, the Ashiya Road, which was filled with people who were exiled to the mill because of a political failure. Or maybe Chidori, who called himself "monk" all day long. However, they were only an example. Most Yin Yang Masters' abilities were only average.    

However, it was barely enough to help the people deal with some little demons and ghosts.    

Of course, most of the time, yin Yang Masters did not serve the people for free. This was also the fundamental difference between the Yin Yang Masters who broadcasted it and the official Yin Yang Masters. Compared to official Yin Yang Masters and monks, the public would usually choose to find Yin Yang Masters to help.    

After all, the official Yin Yang Masters were very arrogant, and the entrustment would take a long time to be completed. However, it was different for Yin Yang Masters to be broadcasted. As long as they paid, they would start work on the same day. In terms of efficiency, they were way more efficient than the officials.    

Therefore, even though hiring these Yin Yang Masters to broadcast and grind was against the law, in order to solve the problem as soon as possible, the citizens would often look for these unlicensed Yin Yang Masters to help - if they looked for the official Yin Yang Masters, they would probably wait until they were all dead before coming over.    

Although it was impossible for them to earn as much money as Fulan, who was an expert in expelling powerful Ghast, to do some tasks related to the little demon, or do some tasks similar to divining a lost cow, tomoko Sakata could still live normally.    

However, he couldn't do it now.    

He couldn't find any small missions that were commonly seen. Even dangerous missions such as evicting the big demon were much fewer. It was very difficult for Tomiko Sakata to understand what had happened that had made all the demons and Ghost around the world become as obedient as babies. In fact, he didn't even steal a cow. He only knew that if he didn't make any more progress, he would be done cooking.    

It was very difficult for wandering Yin-Yang Masters like them to keep money. Although they could receive more requests and earn more money by traveling around, it was still difficult for them to keep money. The cost of traveling was not a small amount.    

It wasn't as if Tomiko Sakata hadn't thought of finding a suitable village to settle down in just like those who were tired of wandering around. Although he would receive fewer requests after settling down, he could still raise the price of handling the requests. However, even the slightly more experienced broadcasters knew that this was a very dangerous act. Putting aside the fact that he would be arrested by the official Yin Yang Masters, just the demons who came to seek revenge were not that easy to deal with - after all, demons would not talk about the principles of the Jianghu with humans. Even if they can't beat you, they can still disgust you to death.    

But looking at it now...    

After weighing the bag of money in his hand, tomiko Sakata sighed.    

So be it if it's disgusting. At least it's better than starving to death.    

After putting away the money pouch, tomoko Sakata continued her journey through the forest.    

He remembered that there was a place called Willow Village nearby. The environment was not bad, and the customs of the people were simple and honest. It turned out that when he was eradicating demons there... Those villagers even gave him a few rice balls to take care of his hungry stomach. As for the fact that there were already two colleagues who lived there before him... It didn't matter. When the time came, we can all attack together. Even if they earned money, the three of them could split it equally.    

Tomiko Sakata was rather confident in his own strength. He believed that the two Yin Yang Masters who had already settled down would not reject his offer to join them. After all, even though having one more person would make them earn less, in this world where Ghast roamed freely, having one more companion was equivalent to having an additional layer of security.    

The Yin Yang Masters who had been on the brink of death all year round knew very well whether money was important or their lives were important.    

"- - - Roar!"    

A hoarse roar suddenly came from not too far away.    

"Ha!" "The stubborn help is injured! Let him go down! " "Puchi -"    

The man's screams, the screams of the malicious spirit, the sound of sharp weapons cutting flesh, the sound of blood splashing, all kinds of messy sounds mixed together. The faint smell of blood drifted along with the wind. Everything indicated that a battle was happening nearby.    

A battle between humans and ghosts.    

As a Yin Yang Master, tomiko Sakata instinctively moved closer. However, his vigilance toward danger caused him to subconsciously use a spell to conceal his footsteps and aura.    

Tomiko Sakata was able to discern the strength of the malicious spirit just by hearing its roar. He might not be able to take down such a malicious spirit.    

However, at the very least, he would be able to take a few lives from the malicious spirit at a crucial moment.    

As Tomiko Sakata approached, the sounds of battle became clearer and clearer. With the assistance of the magic arts, he could even hear that those people were still in the mood to chat while facing the evil spirits.    

"I just need to stab them." A hearty voice was heard, "We have a lot of people, this ghost is going to die for sure."    

Just... stab? The ghost is dead for sure?    

What exactly happened?    

As the distance between them grew shorter and shorter, tomiko Sakata finally got a clear view of the battle.    

A dozen or so men dressed as farmers were forming a semicircle, using their spears to stab at the evil spirits in the middle without fear.    

The evil spirits that could easily kill more than a dozen people now looked like they wanted to escape. However, no matter how the evil spirits looked for an opportunity to break through, there would always be a few spears that could puncture a deep hole in the back of the evil spirits.    

As the ghostly blood sprayed out, the malicious spirit was gradually tortured until it was exhausted. The movement of blocking the spears also became weaker and weaker. Finally, a few long spears extended out from different directions and pierced through the malicious spirit's chest, ending the malicious spirit.    

The men burst into cheers. Then, they all stepped forward to retrieve their spears and cut off the head of the malicious spirit at the same time.    

Seeing the men he had dealt with and the blood-stained spears in their hands, the Yin Yang Master named Sakata Youxin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.    

"Who's there!?"    

A young man who had just retrieved his spear keenly noticed Sawada Nobunaga's figure. He directly raised his spear and pointed it at him. The villagers who were cutting the ghost heads also raised their spears and looked over.    

"It's me."    

After realizing that he had been discovered, tomoko Sakata had no choice but to walk out.    

"Saburo Sato, it's been a few years since we last met. I didn't expect you to be so tall."    

"Oh! It's Mister Youxin!" The young man welcomed him with a surprised expression, "It's great that you can come! I still remember when I was young, you helped my father escape the invasion of the evil ghost... "    

"That was many years ago." Tomiko Sakata smiled in embarrassment. "In the blink of an eye, you grew up from a child back then... what are you doing!?"    

Sensing the hostility, toyotomi Sakata hurriedly formed a hand seal.    

However, it was too late.    

Bang!    

With a strong gust of wind, the hard spear directly struck the bend of Tomoko Sakata's leg, causing him to kneel down on one knee.    

The villagers who had been watching from the side also stepped forward and pulled out the ropes that they had brought with them, trapping Tomoko Sakata.    

"What are you all doing? Pcht!"    

Tomoko Sakahara struggled with all his might, but he was punched in the abdomen by a heavy punch.    

"What are you doing?"    

The young man named Saburo Tai pulled on Youxin Sakata's hair and pulled his hair up.    

"Evil spirits and demons are so easy to kill, why are you asking us?"    

"You..." Youxin Sakata panted with great difficulty. "I saved your father..."    

"Liar! You took so much money!"    

Saburo raised his hand and punched Youxin Sakata in the face.    

"I also paid!"    

"Yeah, I asked for so much money!"    

The villagers all agreed.    

"That's not much money..." With a nosebleed, tomiko Sakata spat out a mouthful of broken teeth. "It's really not much..."    

"Not much?"    

Saburo clenched his teeth tightly.    

"Alright, if you think it's not much, then spit out all the money you've cheated us with. If you don't pay us back... "    

The sharp spear that had just killed the malicious spirit was now resting on Youxin Sakata's neck. The spears in the villagers' hands were also aimed at him.    

"We can only send you to meet your two senior brothers."
