Chapter 14: A Flash
What's new...
Uesugi Kiyoshi is now no longer surprised by this hundred ghost scrolls.
He didn't feel strange in his heart at first, it wasn't all written like that, the protagonist traveled through rebirth, obtained the cheat plug-in, and walked to the pinnacle of life from then on.
Now that he has completed the step of crossing and rebirth, it is not a strange thing to have another golden finger by his side.
But as he deepened his understanding and touch of the extraordinary, he discovered that the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll... It doesn't seem that simple.
The wine swallowing boy said that the so-called hundred ghost picture scrolls are the symbol of the ghost king, the roster of the hundred ghosts walking at night, and the gathering of the beliefs of "monsters".
Based on his words, it can be inferred that Uesugi Kiyoshi's Hyakki picture scroll seems to have belonged to a big man in Heiankyo at one time.
So here's the problem.
This is the same model as the Baiwen card game, so stylized, modern prompts, and the so-called whitelist...
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't match the Heian period.
Could it be that this thing will keep up with the times?
It seems that figuring out the previous owner of the Hundred Ghost Scroll is going to be on the agenda in a hurry.
Hopefully, that Edo The Tale of Genji will bring him some surprises.
There was still a hint of alertness and hostility on Shingo Narumi's face, but when he saw Miishi Ueno following Uesugi Kiyoshi, the hand holding the hilt gradually relaxed.
Uesugi Kiyoshi was not aggressive, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the sea country in Narumi Shingo's hand.
"Good knives!"
Swordsmen love swords, and Uesugi Kiyoshi is no exception.
I don't know what material this Haiguo is made of, the sword body is sparkling, there seems to be water lines flowing, faintly and there are golden mangs mixed in it, if there is nothing to add some mystery, under the washing of this heavy rain, like a dream, the appearance is excellent.
Among the swords Uesugi Kiyoshi has ever seen, the only one that can match it is the ghost cut in his hand.
I looked at the knife, and then at the people.
A faint smile appeared on Kiyoshi Uesugi's face.
"I've lived in Arakawa for so long, and I haven't found such a crouching tiger, hidden dragon here--how can a swordsman of your strength be nameless?"
"Ah, it's rude, I didn't introduce myself, Xinyin Neiden, Uesugi Kiyoshi, please advise."
The chin nodded and said hello, and Uesugi Kiyoshi's tone and expression were all releasing kindness.
What the hundred ghosts paint scroll agrees with, it shouldn't be his enemy, Apricot, Maki, Liu Longren, all prove this, even if it is a wine swallow who was given the order to capture, after being defeated by himself, he is honest, and he didn't play those superfluous means.
Shingo Narumi responded in a half-sentence in his usual indifferent tone.
"Shingo Narumi, please..."
The words behind him didn't come out, but I saw Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes condense, and he bowed down instantly.
His figure had a strange blur, as if it had been washed away by the heavy rain and disappeared in an instant.
In the next second, he rubbed shoulders with Shingo Narumi.
It's not that the "speed" is too fast for the eye to catch the traces of his movements, but more like a "teleportation" using some kind of spell.
At the same time, the waist knife was drawn out.
The blade split through the rain curtain, bringing with it the sound of howling wind.
The mirage boiled over the blade, and then transformed into a blazing red glow.
Behind Uesugi Kiyoshi, the phantom of the dog god flashed.
"Evil is slashed!"
The "Fishman", who was originally cut into two pieces by Shingo Narumi, melted strangely in the water, turned into a viscous liquid, and then reassembled, gradually forming its original shape.
He silently cracked open his mouth with fine, sharp teeth interlaced and turned out, and a pair of arms were like a snake on the tarsal bones, straight to the back of Narumi Shingo's heart.
He met a sword that was equally sharp.
Evil is a sword that specializes in slashing ghosts and gods, and the dazzling red rays and the body of the fish man are connected, and it is suddenly like ice and snow meeting flames, and it melts quickly.
Uesugi Kiyoshi slashed out with his sword, and then the blade of the sword turned around, making a bloody movement, and his body stood up straight, and the sword was sheathed.
Most of the fish-man's body has also been evaporated by the power of slashing evil and warding off evil attached to "Evil is Slashing".
Only some mutilated corpse parts are left, and they still have the same activity in the rain as if they were beating from time to time, which makes people a little creepy.
Kiyoshi Uesugi's Hyakki painting scroll re-lit two pictures.
The Demon Knife Ji and the Wine Swallowing Boy.
This is the Baiwen card of the Demon Sword Scroll, and it is also the only one that is currently lit up after the Demon Knife Ji Demon Soul returns to its place.
This knife is clearly called "a flash".
As the name suggests, the knife flashes by, narrowing the distance between the enemy and the enemy in an instant, dividing the victory and defeat, and deciding life and death.
This move has no special effects, and there are no special attacks, only the speed is increased to the extreme, and the "teleportation" effect is achieved at short distances.
Uesugi Kiyoshi is extremely fond of this trick.
For him, within three feet of the enemy, the enemy is the enemy.
Moreover, this move has another advantage - it does not consume ghost fire and mirage, but it will temporarily overdraw Uesugi Kiyoshi's physical strength, so he can't use this move frequently, but this is almost a prostitute.
For the first time, he used a flash as a real combat trick, and now it seems that the effect is remarkable.
Uesugi Kiyoyoshi tilted his head for a moment and glanced at Shingo Narumi, who was frowning.
"A swordsman of your strength shouldn't be unaware of the murderous intent behind you, why, I distracted you?"
"Let's take this as an apology."
Narumi Shingo's lips moved, he sighed slightly, and turned his head to look at the mutilated corpse on the ground, his brow furrowed even deeper.
"Fearless of swords? Death and rebirth? ”
"Hmm... The power on this person's sword is also somewhat familiar, the power to ward off evil and suppress evil? ”
"Huh... Obviously, he was quite peaceful before, why did Arakawa suddenly have so many ill-intentioned people? ”
Shingo Narumi wasn't in a good mood, but he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled stiffly.
“... Thank you very much. ”
"You're a bit like an acquaintance of mine, I'm a little distracted..."
Uesugi raised his eyebrows and asked with some concern, "Like your acquaintance?" Does it look like it? ”
Shingo Narumi pondered for a few seconds and shook his head.
"No... You don't look like him at all. ”
"I don't know why I think so, maybe it's a delusion... If I have to say it..."
"The expression on the sword is very similar."
Uesugi Kiyoshi chuckled lightly and asked meaningfully, "Ah, yes, then we are fateful." ”
"So... What's that friend's name? Can I have the pleasure of getting to know him? ”
Narumi Shingo opened his mouth, his expression gradually froze, and he stayed for nearly half a minute before he shook his head in disbelief.
"No... I'm sorry. ”
"Maybe it's been too long since we've seen each other, and I forgot."
So far, the conversations between Kiyoshi Uesugi and Shingo Narumi have been polite and polite.
Uesugi Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Forgotten...
Scold...
Is this the case with the lord of the dignified Arakawa?
Uesugi Kiyoshi secretly felt that the friend in Narumi Shingo's mouth should be the previous owner of the Hyakki Picture Scroll.
The ghost king of the great rivers and mountains, the demon king of the Arakawa, will forget a person's name?
Interesting...
He didn't dwell on this question, but instead asked, "Where is Narumi-kun?" If I have free time, I will definitely visit us, and we should have some common language about kendo. ”
Everything happened so suddenly that it wasn't until now that Mitsushi Ueno interjected.
He glanced at Shingo Narumi with somewhat complicated eyes, and said softly in a kind tone, "Uesugi-kun, Narumi-kun is my neighbor, and he works as a teacher teacher at a kendo hall - I grew up watching him. ”
The implication of Ueno Miishi is that this person can be trusted and asked Uesugi Kiyoshi not to embarrass him.
Uesugi Kiyoshi understood, he didn't intend to have a bad relationship with Narumi Shingo.
Not to mention that the Lord of the Arakawa seems to have a connection with the Hyakki Picture Scroll, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and this Narumi-kun is obviously not dealing with the Arakawa sect, at least in this matter, they are on the side.
"Do you want to be a teacher at a kendo hall..."
Uesugi Kiyoshi seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly his smile became a little more eager.
"Narumi-kun, don't you know, I also have a dojo in Arakawa, which is about to be completed."
"But now, I'm still alone."
"Does Narumi-kun have any plans to change jobs?"
"Hmm..."
"How much salary will I pay you over there, and I will pay twice?"
