In the northern part of the South China Sea of the Tang Dynasty, there is a country called Dulai Country.

Because there are perennial contacts with Datang, and the people who come and go are by boat, the people of Datang also call them "ferry people." ”

The king of Watarai Country, "Emperor Jimmu", came to be the supreme ruler of Watarai Country.

Next......

Emperor Shenwu was discussing in the hall about the attack of the demon clan and the orc clan on the border of the Tang Kingdom.

Emperor Shenwu said: "The envoy of the Great Tang Kingdom is here today and wants us to borrow 100,000 soldiers and horses to defend against the orc army!

As soon as these words came out of the palace, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the ministers were anxious, and some ministers were frightened and sweating profusely and did not know what to do.

Don't have a minister who said, "Emperor Wu! can't borrow it~ At present, there are ghosts and monsters in the country, making people panic, and the people are not living, yesterday a village was slaughtered by ghosts, and the whole village was gone overnight, such a tragedy, I don't know how many times it will happen!! only remaining soldiers and horses in our country will suppress ghosts! ”

"Emperor Wu! Since the gods divided the Three Realms, there have been constant wars in the world, and the demon clan and the orc clan have continued to attack our inner earth world, if it weren't for the first generation of Tang Kings to establish the Wuhou Army to resist the demon clan and the orc clan, and build the Great Wall to defend the Jedi on the border of the north to defend it, if there is no Tang Dynasty to do it, can we still sit here and discuss this kind of thing!"

"Shogun, are you trying to rebel?" the ministers all blamed the shogun.

At this time, an old minister sitting around Emperor Wu said in the near vicinity: "Emperor Wu, I have a word for everyone to hear, and what the two generals said just now is very reasonable, and it is reasonable to borrow or not, such as borrowing! We are short of domestic troops, and we must govern the country at the top and the people at the bottom, and there are ghosts and monsters that are rampant in the middle.

As soon as the old minister's words came out, there was silence in the hall.

Shenwu Huang touched his beard and said: "Next, recruit the whole country ronin (martial artists) to assist the Tang Dynasty, no!" everyone's eyes looked at the Martial Emperor with a trace of panic, and the Martial Emperor said again: "No! It is sent to the Tang Kingdom to fight against the two demon beast clans, plus 100,000 horses!"

As a result, all over the country began to recruit ronin, and ronins from all over the country went to sign up, wanting to make a name for themselves and their families.

...... the next night

The shogun invited the old minister Murakami to the mansion as a guest, and the shogun asked: "The old gentleman said in front of Emperor Wu and the ministers today, the fact that the Tang Dynasty can destroy our country is inappropriate." ”

The old minister said: "You guy doesn't know anything at all! Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a god who left behind the body of the so-called god in the Inner Earth World. That body contains powerful power, The first generation of Tang Kings used a martial god body to drive both the orc clan and the demon clan to the border Jedi of the Tang Dynasty. Do you think those two herds of animals just came for the land of Datang? In this regard, it is not impossible that the Tang Kingdom can also destroy us at any time!"

The shogun smiled, changed the subject, and asked, "I heard that the Takeda family is all martial artists?"

Lao Chen Murakami drank the tea in the cup and said slowly: "Yes~ The Takeda family is indeed the home of the God of War, when the country was founded, the Takeda family calmed the war for Emperor Shenmu, and the repeated military exploits can be described as the best among the peers"

"It's a pity ......"

"What a pity?"

The shogun asked suspiciously, but the old minister smiled and said, "It's a pity that the family is in decline~ The Takeda family has also withdrawn from the stage of history." Now there are few people who know about their family, and I don't know if the Takeda family will have descendants. ”

The shogun muttered, "What a pity!"

"It's not too late, I should go back," said the old minister.

After the old minister left, the shogun immediately asked people to find information about the Takeda family, whether there really were descendants.

(There is a snow ghost!)

To the north of Watarai, there is a small village that lives by the sea, mostly fishing from the sea, and there are also a few rice growers.

The population of the village is less than 100 people, and the villagers get along very well.

Until Dongxun, on a snowy night, there were two men in the village, one old and one young, who were chopping firewood but did not return. When the family saw that it was getting late, but they had not yet returned, his family was anxious, so they informed the village chief, who learned the news and quickly called the whole village.

When I went up the mountain to find someone, it was really difficult to walk halfway through the road, and the snow was so heavy that I couldn't see the road ahead at all.

One of them looked at the dark forest in front of him and was timid, and said in fear, "I'm afraid that some demon or beast has eaten it?" At this time, many of the older generation in the crowd remembered a legend......

Legend has it that there is a female ghost in the Black Forest south of the village! Legend has it that at the beginning of the winter search in the country of Walai, the gods and ghosts are in charge of control, and there is a snow girl in the snow when the winter search is heavy.

As long as someone gets lost in the harsh environment of the ice and snow, they will definitely encounter the snow girl who sucks popularity to make a living, and the monster snow girl who is unpredictable about good and evil. She deliberately plays with the fickle and unfaithful nature of men, and sometimes deliberately leaves behind a frightened human male.

Threaten him, if you want to live, you must keep your "promise" to abide by the laws of the demon world, and you must not tell anyone about her existence and her encounter with her, otherwise the betrayed Snow Maiden will definitely go to claim the man's life to warn the law of the monsters!

At this time, when I thought of this female ghost legend, the villagers' mood was not calm.

The village chief stood up and said, "Don't be afraid, what ghosts are there, they are all caused by people's hearts!"

The snow has become lighter-

At this moment, the sound of walking came. Everyone looked back and saw a figure getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer! Some people couldn't help but shout: "Yes... Yes... There's a ghost!"

The village chief stood at the front, his feet numb. His voice trembled: "You! what kind of monster are you?" ”

By the light of the torches, the villagers were able to see what the people were like.

"It turned out to be a ...... alone"

The villagers were surprised to see that there were also Inoue and Koko (the two villagers who had gone missing before)

"But who's that man in the middle?"

I saw the man holding the two old and the young with both hands, both of them were unscathed, but the two of them were very weak.

So the villagers ran over to catch the old and young, and the village chief hugged them and shouted: "Inoue!

The old man Inoue said weakly, "We were attacked by something, and it was the adult who saved us......"

The village chief asked, "My lord, may I ask who you are?"

The man looked at them, then patted the snow off his body and re-combed his long brown hair.

The man has a handsome face, a brown ponytail, looks like a sword, and is a ronin samurai.

The man said, "My name is Takeda Shinwa!" (17-year-old boy)

The village chief said, "Your Excellency looks like a ronin, right?" (Ronin is a martial arts word in the martial arts of Wataku)

Takeda Nobuwa looked at the Black Forest in front of him and said to the villagers: "Don't come here to cut wood in the future, it's dangerous!"

The village chief wanted to ask Shinwa to live in the village for a while to repay him for saving his life.

But Nobukazu Takeda didn't have anything to say, turned around and left silently.

The village chief hurriedly shouted again, "My lord!"

Takeda Shinwa said: "I still have important things, farewell!"

When the village chief saw Takeda Nobuwa's distant back, the village chief was puzzled and said, "Who is he?"

As soon as the words fell, a young woman ran over with a lantern and said, "Village chief, look over there!"

The young woman with the lantern was very beautiful and moving

And her beauty makes people who have seen her subconsciously think that this person is the villagers of our village, and everyone is fascinated by her face, but no one knows that she is a "ghost".

The crowd was led less than twenty meters away from them by the woman, and there was a trace of a fight. The surrounding trees were all cut down with a single sword, and the knife marks were even more visible, and the snow that had been precipitated for a long time around them was blown away by the sword qi.

All I could see was the leaves on the ground, and there was a foul air around them, and suddenly a new heavy snow began to fall.

The villagers were amazed at the sight and could not believe that there had been a great battle here at the time of their arrival.

The woman with the lantern looked at Xiaoguang who had fallen asleep in the crowd from a distance, and smiled in horror......
