When knocking on the door of Shen Yue's house, Gu Yun thought that he would see two figures fighting in front of the computer all night, but the computer in the living room was turned off, there were several empty cans on the coffee table in front of the TV, and there were five or six half-turned books on the carpet.

Shen Yue was lying on the carpet, with thick dark circles under her eyes, and it did look like she had stayed up all night.

Gu Yun never expected that one day, Shen Yue would be able to become an honor student who stayed up late and flipped through books.

"Ha-Brother Gu Yun, good morning."

Shen Yue flipped the page of the book, "I called Ikeda overnight yesterday and asked her to recommend me a few books. ”

Three of them are biographies about "Reed", "Ikeda", and "Gomori", these three books have built a swordsman in charge and demons are rampant in troubled times, and the three heroes who were famous all over the world wrote a biography of ups and downs in troubled times.

The other three books are specialized books.

"Ancient Famous Swords", "Sword Heroes of Troubled Times" and "Demon Atlas".

It was not easy to find these six books, Rao Chen Jiang mobilized the power of all the employees of the branch, woke up the bookstore administrators in most of the city who were asleep, and gathered these six books.

And what she is flipping in her hand now is the "Demon Atlas".

After reading the book, she realized that supernatural phenomena and anomalous creatures have existed since ancient times, and that the Ikeda clan, known as the demon slayers, has been around since that time.

It's just that there are quite a few different types of creatures that can be found in different regions.

For example, the monsters with flesh and flesh such as vampires, werewolves, and witches that are now familiar to people are once the ones that plagued the European continent, and the demons of the ancient period of this continent were mostly shown in the form of spirits.

An Ling woke up early in the morning and spontaneously joined the ranks of reading.

"Gu Yun, do you know that the first head of the Ikeda clan was named Ikeda Michimitsu, and he married a shrine maiden who was captivating the country and the city, and the two signed a marriage contract under the moon, which was particularly romantic...... Ah, later, the male heirs were free to learn kendo, and the female heirs learned the art of witchcraft, and this is how it was handed down. ”

In fact, Ashina, Ikeda, and Omamori, the three heroes of the time, Ikeda Michimitsu was the only one who died well.

Michito Ikeda died at the age of 61.

In his later years, he wrote, Michiman Ikeda had a vague premonition of his own death.

One morning during the cherry blossom season, outside the Ikeda clan's dojo, listening to the whirring sound of swords, Ikeda decided to take a nap as he sat on his wife's lap and stared at the scattered cherry blossom petals.

This heroic man in the troubled times fell asleep completely.

As for the two who are as famous as Michimitsu Ikeda, the end is not so complete.

The Gomori clan was loyal to serve the shogunate, the first head of the family, Akutagawa, was 52 years old when he was ordered to lead the army to the south, and finally the horse leather shroud, after all, died on the battlefield, the southern expeditionary army was defeated, there was no general in the court, there was a fox demon disorderly, and the shogunate entered a long dark period.

But compared to the Akutagawa who was born on the battlefield and died on the battlefield, the ending of Shinichi Ashina, the former world's number one swordsman, is even more embarrassing, Shinichi Ashina left home to practice since he was a child, in order to pursue the ultimate in swordsmanship, he rejected the woman he loved in his life, and stayed away from his best friend, but finally went astray and was bewitched by the sword demon.

"And then?"

Gu Yun saw An Ling suddenly stop, and couldn't help but ask.

The last time "Flash" talked to him, he mentioned the name of Shinichi Ashina, saying that his sword drawing technique reminded him of Shinichi Aina Shinichi, the great swordsman of the world in the past, so he couldn't help but be interested in this great swordsman who had heard the name once.

"The 43-year-old Shinichi Ashina was defeated by his lifelong friends Michimitsu Ikeda and Mimori Akutagawa, and when he was dying, Shinichi Reina regained consciousness and realized that he could only thank the world with seppuku, hoping that Michimitsu Ikeda would make a mistake for him."

"That is, he committed suicide?"

"Hmm."

According to the records of the three biographies, Michimitsu Ikeda and Akutagawa Mimori both passed down their bloodlines and kendo, but Shinichi Ashina had no wife and no children in his life, and he was the first swordsman in the world, but he brought his lifelong mastery to the grave.

"This story tells us that the soul remover can only live a happy and stable life by marrying a witch, and if you really can't find a witch, it's okay to find a witch, the two words are reversed, and the meaning is still the same meaning."

An Ling was seriously carrying private goods, but when she met Gu Yun's suspicious eyes, she coughed lightly, "Actually, these three biographies have their implied meaning, according to my understanding, after Ikeda Michimitsu married a shrine maiden, he stayed away from the government and established a dojo in the countryside, which is somewhat similar to the folk soul exorcist; It is said that to this day, the Gomori clan still has a pivotal position in N City; Shinichi Ashina was a prodigal son who had left everything behind, wandering the world and having no home, so after his death, his two friends had to scatter his ashes in the river outside Kyoto. ”

"How did you come up with the idea of researching this?"

"Didn't you say that the 'ghost' you saw in the live broadcast was a saber? Shen Yue and I learned a little bit about the culture of N City. ”

As the saying goes, if you want to defeat your enemy, you must first understand your enemy.

"In addition to these grievances, we have an important discovery that explains the situation you encountered last night!"

An Ling read a book all morning and spoke with confidence.

She has never understood the meaning of the phrase "knowledge is power" so clearly as she does now, as long as she reads the book, one day she, a trainee witch, will be able to popularize knowledge in front of Gu Yun.

"In his later years, Shinichi Reina was controlled by a demon sword, but he was still a human in nature, and in order to facilitate your understanding, you can understand him as a demon dressed as a human being, which explains why the yellow charm that night did not have the effect of warning, because the attacker was an anchor who approached as a 'human'."

But even though it's a human being, it has almost demonic power.

It's just that she and Shen Yue haven't figured out why the demon sword recorded in the biography appeared in X City for the time being, so after reading the biography, Shen Yue has begun to study whether the demon knife is lost in the record of "Ancient Famous Swords", and which descendant of the sword hero it corresponds to.

After listening to An Ling's narration, Gu Yun was really shocked.

When two players who stay together and play games in a team get serious, the perception they bring is going to be subversive.

"I don't think Shen Yue's worries are superfluous."

"We found that in these biographies, there was a tradition that was once very popular in the Sword of Swordsmen, called trial knife killing. ”

It was a time when there were far less laws than they are today, and swordsmen were often at odds with each other, and all of them believed that the more blood their swords stained, the stronger they became.

"We are not only worried that there are madmen who are planning to repeat the knife killing, but we are also worried that it may be an organized and disciplined operation."
