018 Aoki & Happo (5)
Nanami was silent, she remembered that she had heard her father say that some casters would use the body of the deceased to test the knife after the knife was made, called the carcass chop, and the more corpses were cut at once, the more the ...... Later, this information will also be inscribed on the sword, which may have been engraved into the hilt of the sword held by the samurai.
Today, after seeing all kinds of tragic situations, she unconsciously thought of this statement, thinking that this was just a legend, after all, cutting off multiple human bodies at one time is really an exaggeration, but ...... Nanami began to suspect that there might really be a villain in the vicinity of this area who was keen to test knives with corpses, and the epidemic plague just gave him an active stage.
"What's the matter, suddenly asking this?" Bigu asked the Seven Truths.
"It's okay, I'm just curious, after all, Master, you have to ask for a sword for Kenshin after you have traveled so far, so I'm curious about how powerful the knife made by Master Aoki is."
After thinking about it, he still didn't tell the master the truth, if he buttoned the hat to Master Aoki now, Qishi felt that it was a little inappropriate, the man who was only thirty or forty years old but was already close to his twilight years, Nanami was almost affected by the exhaustion that penetrated into his bones at first sight, lazy, sleepy, like a dying old man, I really can't imagine that a person with such a temperament would have the interest to do such a troublesome thing as stealing corpses and trying knives.
"Corpse Thief Tries ...... Knife"
Her heart throbbed, and Qishi suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something, because she felt depressed when she saw the scene of the cremation, so she forgot that the woman's body was still left in place, and she wanted to find someone to help him collect the body, but she forgot about it.
"Master, I have something I want to go out again." Regardless of the darkness, Nanami got up and prepared to go back to the village, wanting to save the woman's body, and maybe there would be a chance to meet the "murderer".
"Wait."
"Master?"
"Let's make an exception today, you can take this back first." Bigu opened his cloak and took out ** and threw it towards Qishi.
......The girl bowed to her master, and trotted out of the small temple, running with her knife on her back toward the woman's village.
Bigu laughed.
"Aoki, Aoki, hesitation is not your style."
"......" Aoki pushed the door in, he swept past the sleeping Kenshin and sat down cross-legged in front of Hiko, and began to sigh with a straight face after sitting down.
"Bigu, you don't understand, you will hesitate sooner or later, when your life is short."
"Hahahaha, that's kind of interesting."
"I'm not going to die, and I've got a poisonous weed, and I don't know if I should accept that kid to be honest."
"Oh, what's the point?" Bigu poured wine for it.
"Bafang, she is a genius, she was born to make the sharpest blade, and the gods may have sent her for this."
Aoki's tone was half sharper and more than half a sigh.
……
……
It was very dark, the grass shadow was mottled, Qishi did not dare to slow down, she ran at a constant speed, not too far she ran out of breath, this village was like a ghost village, the village was dark as soon as it was dark, there were no candles, no human figures, people were afraid of the plague and the unknown ghosts.
Who knows when a ghost will do something to a living person?
Qishi doesn't believe in ghosts, there are people behind all ghosts, but even so, the ominous atmosphere still has a deep impact on her, her steps are unconsciously lightened, and the hand holding the scabbard is unconsciously aggravated, only by the faint moonlight, Qishi touched into the woman's house, because of the silence around her, she heard even the slightest sound very clearly, the sound of the rope from the rubbing of the placket, and the subtle footsteps, and ......
“!”
The "chirp" of the knife out of the sheath
The sound was so transparent that the tense Qishi was also stunned in an instant, if it was said that the blade would be like cutting through the air, then hearing this knife sound could be imagined, the sharp blade cutting through the air was like cutting off Bai Lian.
Extremely sharp.
Damn it.
"Stop!!" Before she saw the figure, Qishi shouted first, she rushed into the door, and sure enough, there was a person in front of her wearing a cloak, he was short, holding a katana high in his right hand, at the end of the perfect arc, the tip of the knife was against the crescent moon, and the blade reflected the milky white moonlight.
Qishi didn't think about it, he pulled out the knife in the other party's hand, unexpectedly, although he held a divine weapon, the skill of this cloak dwarf was terrible, and it almost effortlessly Qishi handed over the weapon in his hand.
“……”
The cloaked man took two steps back, she didn't seem to expect someone to disturb the situation, and when she looked up and saw that the person had spoken.
"Ah...... Be...... You ......"
"Is that you?" Seven realities were equally surprised when they saw the cloaked man's face.
The other party turned out to be Master Aoki's helper, the little girl who made a decoction for Kenshin - Hagikata.
"Hago?"
“……”
There was no response, and Hachishi swung his fist at Qishi's head, and Qishi barely stopped it with the blade of the knife, and the huge force was transmitted to her, which shocked her hands numbly.
That's a lot of strength.
Chao Che almost bent because of this, Qishi even retreated, and his heel almost stepped on the corpse of the woman she had placed before, and he settled down, and the undisciplined punch of the eight directions nailed it up again.
Punched the master to death, not to mention that Qishi is not a master now.
Flying Sword-Flowing pays attention to body skills, knowing that the enemy's strength is not as good as that of mortals, he no longer fights hard, Qishi turned over and dodged the fist of the eight directions, and the fist smashed into the earthen wall and actually fell into it like this.
Is this really some kind of evil spirit with great power? Seven real thoughts.
Bafang was not in a hurry, even if his right hand was scraped with blood from the gravel, his face did not change, as if he was not hurting himself.
"You, why do you want to test the knife with a human body?"
“……”
And looking at the katana that was directly submerged into the ground after being picked up by himself just now, it is clear that the scabbard has been sealed, so don't you feel redundant to try the knife again at this time?
There is no answer to the meaning of the seven truths, and the expression of the eight directions is very clear - since you have seen it, you don't have to go back.
Not afraid of hurting herself, not afraid of Qishi cutting her, fists in a mess, pure squandering of strength, under such a strange fist technique, she gradually couldn't parry, and because the movement here was too big, the village that had been dark was also lit up again, and the voices of people could be heard approaching here.
'Oh no, if you don't fix it soon, you're going to get involved.' ’
Qishi was stunned for a moment, and Bafang actually found a gap and threw her to the ground and suppressed her fiercely.
Where is this little girl? Qishi doubted that the person who was sitting on him was a big Yingying who ran out of the mountains!
“……”
Bafang pinched Qishi's wrist, and the pain was so severe that she unconsciously let go of the cut, the master rarely lowered the knife to himself, but he actually did nothing, when Qishi blamed himself, Bafang pulled out a short knife from behind his waist, and the sharpness was not inferior to the katana inserted in the ground.
Facing Nanami's throat, she raised the dagger aloft.
"Again...... See ......"
When he was about to stab down, Bafang's right hand was pulled out by someone else, and he wanted to look back to see who it was, but his neck hurt, and his eyes were black and fainted.
"Master?"
Kiyojuro Hiko didn't know when he had come here.
"Qishi, you still need to cultivate, it's really bad now."
