Chapter Seventy-Three: The Trial
I watched the little girl in front of me run into the town with a string of money, and Sen Luo walked like this, using the shadows to keep moving forward - under the sun, there was no place for ghosts to hide, but now the sun is also pale and weak. Demons and ghosts walking during the day are now a common thing. Sen Luo wrapped his body with demonic energy, and the demonic energy became deeper and deeper in the shadows, so that others would not see through this place at all.
When it comes to buying dry food, Xiaoye is also smart - she buys tightly pressed and air-dried vegetable dumplings, which should still have salt in them, which is very storable. The price of this thing is not expensive, brown rice is made, a bunch of money can buy a full pocket, and when you eat it, boil it with hot water to make a pot of vegetable porridge. Sen Luo watched as Xiao Ye carried a bag of dry food on her back - the little girl from the peasant family had to work for a long time, and carrying this bag of dry food was not hard work for her.
After buying dry food, Sen Luo's training of Xiao Ye became stricter. The little girl was very sensible, knew that it was for her good, and of course tried to do every word of Sen Luo's commands. The hand was worn out, leaving blood stains on the hilt, but the little girl remained silent and continued to swing the knife as Sen Luo had given her. "I'm really sensible." The skeletal warrior also sighed, what he gave this girl was the ability to survive in the future - anyway, if you can use a sword, you should be able to survive in this world.
"Breathe, watch your breathing. The power you wield is not just from your physical body. Sen Luo said that Xiao Yezi is actually a little daughter of a peasant family in this aspect of swordsmanship, "It's not bad to be able to reach the level of an ordinary samurai." "That's Senro's opinion. The little girl had no talent, but she practiced very seriously and diligently, and she tried hard to achieve the breathing technique that Sen Luo commanded.
What Sen Luo taught was the sword of exorcism, and the method of breathing was the method of exercising spiritual power—this was not the ancient Japanese stream, but the authentic qi refining inheritance from that continent in Sen Luo's memory—the surging demonic power of this skeleton warrior came from the aura of the earth in the same way. The skeletal warrior spoke in a double tone of unhurried words, the little girl was only a peasant girl, and she was so young, that Sen Luo couldn't think of how to teach her the method of visualization - perhaps the literati could learn it, because it was all ancient Chinese texts.
Fortunately, Sen Luo also has a method, he used the scabbard to draw a picture of Guanzi Bodhisattva on the ground, so that the little girl remembered, when she breathed in her mind, she imagined that Guanzi Bodhisattva was sitting in the middle of her heart and shining brightly. "Next, teach her to recite the Buddhist scriptures, since she is a bodhisattva of contemplation, then recite the heart sutra." The skeletal warrior made a decision, this time, this little girl may also be able to practice Buddhism to eliminate magic, and it is enough to be a demon slayer in the village.
"This kid is too young to follow me all the way south to kill demons. She shouldn't be completely involved in these things. Sen Luo thought, at this time, this little girl could already sense spiritual power. If you want to breathe and visualize, if you don't get mad, you're almost at this point. The follow-up method doesn't need to be learned and can't be learned, so just keep saving and increasing the spiritual power of Buddhism, anyway, with Xiaoyezi's qualifications, he won't touch that ceiling in his life...... With these powers and swordsmanship, ordinary demons and ghosts no longer need to be afraid, enough to survive in this world, and also save others.
Xiao Ye's wooden knife was already wielding a little bit, "That's how kendo is. It's just a killing skill, and if you are fast with a big sword, you will already be better than nine out of nine people who use knives. Sen Luo said that it was the kind of sharp slashing that he taught Xiao Yezi, "One step faster is enough." "Sen Luo asked Xiao Ye to keep practicing nine different knife slashing routes, and then he was going to teach Xiao Ye Zi the knife drawing technique, which was considered to be the end of the learning.
"Complicated knife skills are useless to you." Sen Luo said to Xiao Yezi, and the little girl nodded as if she didn't understand, and went to practice the Nine Ways Slash more vigorously. A skeleton ghost walked along a barren road with a little girl, and the little girl rushed forward from time to time, drew a wooden knife and slashed it horizontally, and then rushed back, so that her physical strength was repeatedly exercised.
The fog never dispersed, and even if the sun appeared in the sky, there was still a faint mist drifting in the wilderness. There are naturally many wandering demons, and the big cat with only one eye in front of Sen Luo is an example. The cat is comparable in size to a pony, with two tails, teeth sticking out of its mouth, and only one large eye in the middle of its face. "Cat Demon..... Little leaf, go fight it. "The demons who dare to appear in front of Sen Luo can't be said to be very weak.
Xiao Yezi was in need of such a trial, and in the face of such a demon, she was obviously afraid. "Scared? It's normal, you're just a five or six-year-old girl, and of course you're afraid of demons in front of you. But being scared doesn't help, Xiaoyezi, you have to calm down, whether it's fighting or escaping, you have to be calm. And besides—why aren't you afraid of me? Sen Luo's voice was smiling, and Xiao Yezi was still shaking, but now he seemed to have calmed down a little. That's probably because Sen Luo is right behind her.
The cat demon tentatively moved, Xiao Yezi was engrossed in the cat demon, and the cat demon blinked with one eye, and suddenly made a head-on pounce. The little girl screamed and squatted down directly to hug her head, Sen Luo laughed, the long knife scabbard stretched out, and directly picked up the cat demon. As soon as the cat demon landed, it immediately fled quickly. "Well behaved, little leaf. It would be nice to get used to it gradually. Sen Luo's bony hand picked up the little girl and made her sit on the bone of her shoulder—the frenulum of the barrel carcass, and it didn't slump her ass.
Due to the rampant demons, there are a lot of abandoned villages. And now it is such a village that Sen Luo has come to with Xiao Yezi, the houses are half collapsed, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. Fortunately, the well in the village was not blocked, so after making a bucket of water with a hastily repaired bucket, Xiao Yezi burned a pot of vegetable porridge and ate it, and the little girl found that Sen Luo was gone. Xiao Ye ran out quickly, but he didn't see the skeleton of the samurai anywhere. The village was cloudy and windy, and Xiao Yezi looked a little scared, and hid back next to the fire in the room that had not collapsed.
Mori Luo was standing outside the room at the moment, and the skeleton warrior who had gathered his breath was not something that the little girl could find. He looked around in silence, and from the collapsed and abandoned houses, shimmering figures gradually oozed out......
