Chapter 20: The Precepts

"What are you talking about? This monster with nine tails is your mother? Then ...... you" Yan Che looked at Abe Jinming with a puzzled expression, and seemed to be beginning to suspect that the onmyoji standing next to him might not be human, but he only knew it now.

"Yes, this youkai is known as one of the three demons, Tamamomae, and it is the mother who gave birth to me. ”

"Did I hear me right, youkai can have children?"

"Mother is no ordinary youkai. Monsters are all produced after wandering souls occupy a new host, and the mother was occupied by a thousand-year-old fox demon when she was alive, and she still has half of the human blood on her body. Back then, he met my father, Abe, and my father saw through her monster face. But then my mother told my father about what happened to her on the mainland, and my father felt pity for her and finally fell in love with her, so I was born. It wasn't until his father was dying that he realized that he was not in love with his mother, but that he was bewitched by her. Tamamo is the strongest nine-tailed fox demon in front of her, possessing a charm technique that can confuse anyone, and it is she who alone has caused the continent to fall apart and endured years of fighting. When my father was dying, I told me that I must kill her, so that she would not endanger the people. But when that day came, I relented. Although she is a demon, she is my mother after all, and I can't do it, so I finally sealed her in the deep sea of Laiguo. I think the evil god found the place where she was sealed and lifted her from the seal. ”

"I see, I didn't expect her illusion to be so powerful. I have the possession of the Fire Demon Yuan God in my heart, and I am not affected by any illusions, so I still haven't avoided the past?" At this time, the Fire Demon in the depths of Yan Che's heart said to him: "Silly boy, the world is so big, there are no surprises. Mixing qi into the enemy and disturbing the opponent's five senses is only a means of illusion, and there are many illusions that can successfully control the opponent by not invading the opponent's five senses. ”

Abe explained for Yan Toru: "Mother's charm technique is not to invade the other party's qi veins with qi, but she has an innate condition that is absolutely unavoidable. ”

"On what terms?"

"As long as the opponent is a man, he will definitely fall for illusion. ”

Yan Che took a deep breath, and then shouted in disbelief, "What is it?

Listening to the conversation between Abe and Yan Toru, Tamamo, who had not made a sound before, laughed softly, and the two turned their attention to her. Yuzao does have a beautiful appearance in front of the country, no wonder countless men are fascinated by her, and they are all over the place for her. The so-called red face and troubled water point to the beauty of her who wants to kill people. Tamamo looked at Abe, and a wave of nostalgic memories flooded into her mind, and she burst into tears in front of them.

"She's crying?" Yan Che looked at Tamamo in disbelief and shed tears in front of him, and then hurriedly asked Abe.

"It's no surprise that she made any moves. She is the culprit who has plunged countless countries into chaos, and was born specifically to take revenge on humanity. ”

"I just want to ask, she's so powerful, how did you seal her in the first place? You said that she restrained all men, could it be that you are not a man?"

"You're only half right. Not only am I not a man, but I am not even a human. ”

Abe's answer was meaningful, and after thinking about it for a while, Yan Che was terrified, and he remembered that Tamamo was Abe's mother before, so Abe was most likely a youkai. It should be that Shinaki Abe has something similar to Tamakimae to avoid her psychedelic skills.

Tamamo shed tears in front of him and looked at Abe Jinming with a kind face: "Jinming, my child." Do you know how much I missed you when I was locked up at the bottom of the sea, when you sealed me away, and I don't blame you because you didn't understand me. Now, the evil god has lifted the seal and still controls everyone on the entire island. Haven't you always wanted to pursue a world where a man and a demon can coexist peacefully? Join us, you and I are aliens who cannot be accepted by humans, and only evil gods can change the world. Come, come to my mother's arms, after all these years, let me hug my longing son. ”

Tamamo opened his hands and motioned for Shinaki Abe to throw himself into his arms. Yan Che thought that what Abe just said was the Tao, and he should not be charmed by Tamamo Mae, but it was not until Abe took a step forward that Yan Che realized that the situation was not good.

Yan Che grabbed Abe Shinaki's shoulder and stopped him from moving on: "Hey, be sober, do you know what you're doing?"

Abe looked back at Yan Che, looking at a man of his living with a puzzled look. The nine tails in front of Tamamo suddenly became longer and rushed towards Yan Che. Yan Che had no choice but to let go of Abe Jinming and use the Yan Demon Sword to resist the demon fox's tail. Yan Che swung his sword and cut off a tail, and the severed tail actually disappeared after it hit the ground. Yan Che looked up again, and found that the tail that had been cut off before was shaking in front of him completely. In an instant, the nine tails tied Yan Che to the core, and his neck and limbs were all entangled by the tail. Yan Che roared angrily, forcing black flames out of his body, burning all the tails on his body to ashes. But when Yan Che raised his head again, the nine tails shook vividly in front of his eyes. Yan Che let out a long sigh and scolded lightly: "Fuck, if Abe wasn't here, I would burn the entire cave with one fire!"

Yan Che was entangled with the nine tails in front of Tamamo, and Abe Jinming was getting closer and closer to Tamamo. Tamamo waved her hand and said like a mother putting her child to sleep, "Come on, come on, my child." Come to your mother's arms and sleep sweetly. ”

Yan Che kept shouting behind Abe Jinming: "Abe Jinming! You are sober! If you don't stop again, I will set fire to make you sober!"

Yan Che's shouting had no effect, and Abe Jinming threw himself into the arms of Tamamo, and the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground. Tamamo looked down at Abe Jinming in his arms, which was originally a kind and beautiful face, but suddenly turned into a hideous and terrifying face, and the five nails of his right hand became slender, like a sharp bayonet, pointing at Abe Jinming's back. Just as Tamamo was about to kill his own son with his own hands, the folding fan on the ground suddenly shot out a light. There were many words and symbols in the light, and it was clear that the fan had a sigil hidden in it. The light shone on Tamamo's body, and Tamamo moaned in pain, and the nine tails also retreated from Yan Che.

Tamamo struggled hard and wanted to choke Abe Jinming's neck with his right hand, but Abe had already walked out of her arms, and the two met head-on, Abe was sad, and Tamamo's face had changed from the previous pitiful face to a demon fox's face. Of course, Abe knew that he would still be seduced by Tamamo under normal circumstances, so he set up a sigil, which was still a trigger mechanism. As soon as his fan hits the ground, another personality in his inner world will take his place. And the other personality is not human, it is inherited from the former Tamamo, the part of Abe's demonic energy.

After the transformation, Abe has black and purple tattoos on his face, and the pupils of his eyes are different from those of normal humans. Blackened Jin Ming picked up the folding fan on the ground and glanced back at Yan Che: "O people of the demon race! But you seem to be like me, with two different streams of blood flowing through your body. One good and one evil are intertwined in your body... Forget it, there must be one and there must be two, and since you are the same as me, you must also have a reason to exist. This fox demon will be solved by my own hands, and I will ask another person to tell you that you can go outside the city to get the demon knife, and that knife can restrain the evil god. ”

"Demon Knife, what's that?"

"No need to ask, just go get it. ”

"The evil god is in the cave, and you told me to ignore the enemy who was close at hand, and run back to bring rescuers? ”

"Hmph, whatever you want, I'm just conveying another of me. Whether it's humans or demons, it's not my race. Disappear before my eyes!"

Yan Che saw that Abe's attitude changed 180 degrees after blackening, and he hated the other party's arrogant attitude at any time, but after all, the other party trapped Tamamo, and he happened to be not bothered by illusions. He doesn't care about any demon sword, he wants to solve the evil god with his own ability. Time is of the essence, and the people who are with him must be in a difficult situation now, and he must immediately deal with the evil god and save his companions from the fire.

Yan Che walked past the blackened Abe Jinming, glanced at Abe, and judged from his current appearance to be the same as before. But he ignored it and went straight to the cave.

Abe continued to look at Tamamo, who had secretly changed back into a human face, looked at him sadly, and said, "Child, this is your true face." You have been assimilated by human consciousness, so hurry up and find your true nature. The world is in the hands of human beings, and there will be no room for other races to live. ”

Abe sneered: "What nonsense, has my mother been soaking in the water for a long time, and her brain is not good? I have no interest in who rules the world." I'm interested only in destruction..."

On the road between Edo Castle and Kyushu Island, Yagyu Juro and Yagyu Soldier Wei led Yanagi Otome with a demon sword to rush all the way to the coast, without stopping. There was no one on the road, and no enemies were ambushing on the road, but Yagyu remained cautious, on the lookout for enemies that might appear at any moment.

"It's strange, why isn't there anyone?" Yagyu Shibei asked, it was true that after leaving Edo, it was too calm along the way, and something was wrong.

"I think it's strange, father. It stands to reason that there are 10,000 garrisons in Kyoto, and there should be 5,000 in Edo, but there is not a single figure in Edo except for the yokai, so could it be that all of them are controlled by the evil gods and fight with the people of the outer seas?"

"I'm worried about more than that. ”

"What else is your father worried about?" said Yagyu when he asked his father what he was worried about, when a steel bullet came out of nowhere. Although Yanagi Shibei had already noticed it, his speed did not keep up, and a steel bullet hit his left arm, splattering three feet of blood, and he fell to the ground.

Yagyu Juro looked at his father who fell to the ground, but Jubei noticed that the next steel bullet was coming, and as soon as he said "be careful", there was a sound from a distance, and a steel bullet flew towards Yagyu Juro's eyebrows. Just as the bullet was about to hit him in the head, Yanagio's right arm turned into a slender knife and placed it horizontally in front of Yagyu Juro's eyes. The steel bullet hit the blade with a crisp sound, and then a steel bullet fell to the ground.

At this time, in a place in the distance where no one noticed, the person who fired the steel bullet smiled slightly, withdrew the fire gun on the stone, and said to himself: "Can such a small bullet be stopped? That shouldn't be something Yanagi Otome can do." The person then felt that his location might be exposed, and left the place where he was hiding.

Seeing that there was no single shot, Yagyu Juro immediately dragged Jubei to the bottom of a large tree. Yagyu Juro wanted to bandage his wounds, but Jubei refused, saying that it was important to bring the demon sword to the Chosen One, and that he could not waste his precious time because of himself. And Yanagi Shiro didn't know who did the steel bullet that fell from the sky just now, and what kind of Qimen Dunjia was used, Yanagi Shibei gasped and said: "Those are the ten capable people who guard the daimyo in the castle, known as the Ten Precepts." What I was worried about was that if the Ten Precepts were also controlled by the evil gods, it would be even more tricky than the Koga Ninja. The one who just shot should be Guanmu, he used a fire gun that can shoot hundreds of meters away, and he can see flying flies thousands of kilometers away, and he is a killer who can take people's lives for thousands of miles without the enemy even noticing. If he has his eyes on us, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get out of this big tree. ”

"That's just useless to you. This kind of carving insect skill is just a shame in front of me, if I can show my strength, this kind of thing is just easy in Susa's hands to cut off the head of a monster thousands of miles away. Po said.

Yanagi Juro left Laiguo when he was young, and he only heard of the Ten Precepts by name, but he didn't expect that he would be an enemy on the day of meeting.

"Father, do the Ten Precepts usually act together?" Yagyu asked Shibei about the details of the Ten Precepts.

Shibei thought about it carefully and said, "Although I don't have much contact with them, I still know a little bit. There were ten of them, I've only seen nine, and each of them was on one floor, and they never communicated with each other, so they probably wouldn't act together. Otherwise, after watching and shooting, there should be other precepts to follow. ”

"I see, so it seems that the other precepts should go to the seafarers, leaving one precept to break. ”

"You hurry up and hurry there with the demon sword, leave me alone. As long as I use this forest as cover, the eye will not be able to find my place. Without further ado, let's go!"

Jubei pushed Yanagi Juro away and drove him away as soon as possible. Yanagi also understands that now that hope is in his own hands, he must put the demon sword in the hands of the demons. Shibei is righteous and awe-inspiring, and he should be even more indomitable. There may be other precepts on the road ahead, and you can't stop here. Yagyu Juro kowtowed heavily in front of the Ten Guards, and then continued to run in the direction of Kyushu with the demon sword.

Only Yagyu Shibei was left in the woods. Shibei took out his sword, leaned against the trunk of the tree, and said to himself, "Come on, let's see if your bullet is fast, or our Yanagi family's sword is fast!"
