Chapter 20: The Spirit of the Samurai 6

The old samurai sat on his lap, his beloved sword resting horizontally on his legs.

The story of General Ashikaga Yoshiteru inviting the heads of the family to enjoy the sword continues to be told.

[Although everyone didn't believe that the sword could become a human, when they saw General Ashikaga Yoshiteru's appearance, they were all suppressed by General Ashikaga Yoshiteru's momentum.

Zhong Rao stared at the treasure knife with fixed eyes.

Time passed minute by minute, and as a result, the treasure knife still did not become human.

The air was quiet and scary.

Our lord is the public security house, Lord Fuyasu, and I am worried that General Ashikaga Yoshiteru will not be able to step down.

So he stood up and said with a smile: "General Ashikaga Yoshiteru is a sword hero among contemporary swordsmen, and he has always cherished famous swords. Presumably, it was the famous sword who felt the love of General Ashikaga Yoshiteru and appeared in front of the general. How can we, who don't know how to understand knives, have such a blessing to see a famous knife turn into a human form? ”

Everyone also echoed a few words along with our lord, and General Ashikaga Yoshiteru saw that the sword did not seem to be human. So I had to leave it at that.

The banquet eventually broke up. 】

"Is it just gone? The story ......"

Chen Beibei looked at the old warrior and said worriedly.

Apparently.

Chen Beibei didn't want this story to end like this, if it was just such a misunderstanding.

Then this story is not helpful for Chen Beibei to find the spirit of the warrior.

"It's not over."

The old warrior couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chen Beibei's worried look. The atmosphere of the teahouse suddenly became much lighter with the laughter of the old samurai.

[After that, the maids of General Ashikaga Yoshiki would often see General Ashikaga Yoshiki talking to someone in the room.

And Ashikaga Yoshiteru has always liked to sleep alone in one room.

This is true even after having a wife and concubine.

Only occasionally would General Ashikaga Yoshiteru go to his wife's room to play.

The maids heard General Ashikaga Yoshiteru talking alone in the room, and it was just once or twice. There were many times, and the maids couldn't help but be curious. But despite their curiosity, the maids didn't dare to peek.

Things went on like this, and General Ashikaga Yoshiteru continued as always.

Gossip about Ashikaga Yoshiteru's frequent self-talk in his room also began to spread among his servants and maidservants.

"Did you hear General Ashikaga Yoshiteru talking in the room?"

"yes, it feels weird."

"General Ashikaga Yoshiteru can't have fallen for some evil, right?"

Everyone was talking about it.

Time passed little by little, and one day, a maid went in to tell General Ashikaga Yoshiteru to get up.

I saw an old man in General Ashikaga Yoshiteru's room.

When the old man saw the maid, the old man instantly got into a knife, and the knife was quietly placed on the knife holder.

The maid couldn't help but scream, and then the maid hurriedly covered her mouth again.

"It's over...... In front of General Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he made such an unbearable voice and was so embarrassed. Now I'm going to die......"

The maid thought to herself, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

The more he tried to pretend to be calm, the more he panicked, and General Ashikaga Yoshiteru woke up at this time

If you wake up General Ashikaga Yoshiteru in this way, even if you can survive by luck, you will be severely punished. The maid stood at the door in a daze, at a loss.

"Was that the scream you just made?"

General Ashikaga Yoshiteru asked.

"Hmm."

The maid nodded, she was the only one in the whole room, and it was impossible to lie.

Moreover, in this case, the maid did not dare to lie at all.

However, this maid is also considered to be bold, because she feels that she will inevitably die anyway.

It's better to tell yourself what you just saw.

Maybe.

There is still a glimmer of life.

"General Ashikaga Yoshiteru, I wanted to wake up the general just now. However, the moment we opened the door, I saw an old man in the room. ”

The maid said.

"Is it a tall, white-bearded old man?"

General Ashikaga Yoshiteru asked.

When the maid heard General Ashikaga Yoshiteru ask, she quickly nodded, because the old man she saw just now was indeed like General Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

"When the old man saw me, he got into a knife......

The maid pointed to the jet-black sheath katana on the shelf and said to Ashikaga Yoshiki, "That's it." ”

When Ashikaga Yoshiteru heard the maid's words, he not only did not get angry, but smiled and rewarded the maid.

"This is the knife I took out at the banquet for everyone to see, but at that time, this knife didn't seem to want to become a human, so it ended in an embarrassing situation.

But since even you can see the old man's words, it is enough to prove that the old man is real. It's not a virtual image that I see alone. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru General said.

After this incident, it spread from the mouth of the maid, and almost the entire Awaji Province knew about it.

Everyone, General Ashikaga Yoshiteru is a sword hero among swordsmen, and it is also appropriate to be able to get a katana with a sword spirit.

And the people who went to the banquet also understood that General Ashikaga Yoshiteru was not drunk at that time. It's just that the sword spirit attached to the katana doesn't want to show up in front of everyone.

Because of this incident, everyone has become more respectful of General Ashikaga Yoshiteru. 】

At this point, the story of the old samurai should be over.

Chen Beibei has been listening to this story carefully, so he didn't ask questions or some thoughts of his own.

Sword Spirit.

A spirit attached to a sword, of course, this is because people have a good impression of the sword spirit, so they call it that.

In fact, in essence, the sword is just an item, no different from a broom or an umbrella.

And the spirits attached to the sword, the spirits attached to the broom, and some items are just youkai.

However, this kind of monster has a collective name, called Fu Fu Shen!

"And has anyone seen that knife since?"

Chen Beibei looked at the old warrior and asked him.

At this time, Chen Beibei already felt that the monster perched on the knife was very likely to be the spirit of the samurai.

Because the appearance of the old Rao described by them seems to be very similar to the spirit of the samurai in the Onmyoji.

Even if there are some differences, however, the yokai that inhabits the katana.

In Chen Beibei's impression, it doesn't seem to be very much.

The spirit of the samurai, the demon sword, the ghost...

Demon Dao Ji and Ghost Cut are both in Chen Beibei's home, and now they live together on a famous knife named Tong Zi Che Angang.

So.

The sword in the hands of General Ashikaga Yoshiteru is most likely the same katana that inhabits the spirit of the samurai.

"That knife has always been kept as a treasure by General Ashikaga Yoshiteru, so it is still in the hands of General Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and ordinary people are not blessed to see it."

The old samurai said with some envy.

To be able to own such a sword is of course something to envy for a samurai.

But.

This kind of thing is often unattainable, so it's useless to just envy it.

"The truth can be seen in that famous knife."

"Don't think about this kind of thing, we may never see it in our lifetime."

Elderly bushido.

"Let's keep telling the story, now whose turn is it?"

The old man who was half lying on the chair and dozing off.

"It's my turn...... It's my turn...... I just thought of a good story about a tanuki! ”

The young man said with confidence.

Before, the young man had planned to tell a story about a cat, but he had to dismiss this idea because the old samurai had a follow-up to the story.

But.

The story of the tanuki that I am going to tell now feels like the story of the cat, and it is almost everywhere.

Even in the remote villages, there are a few stories about tanuki that circulate.

Chen Beibei knew that this story would definitely be stillborn directly.

"Seniors, I'm going back first, I still have work to do."

Chen Beibei got up and said.

"Well, man, if you have time in the future, you can come here to play."

The old samurai arrived.

Chen Beibei nodded and left, after all, this world, for Chen Beibei, is just a passing world after all.

Behind him was the teahouse owner, who had roughly the strange talk of a tanuki and the frustrated voice of a young man......

……

The busy streets, the afterglow of the setting sun falling on Xingrao's face, it seems that everyone is in a hurry.

Chen Beibei also hurriedly returned to his hostel.

When Gu got Torihaku, he had already separated from himself and went to find the spirit of the samurai.

It's almost dark now, too.

I think the bird will come back too.

When Chen Beibei arrived at the hostel, the guy at the hostel, after seeing Chen Beibei, greeted him respectfully: "Uncle, what do you want to eat at night?" ”

"Just get something and bring it to my room."

North Chenbei Road.

There is nothing to eat in the hostel, and everything is eaten in some taverns and restaurants next door.

Of course.

The hostel guy can also be responsible for bringing what they want to eat for the guests, and bringing it to the guest room.

That way, the guys can receive a little bounty from the owners of taverns and restaurants.

When Chen Beibei arrived in the room, Gu Huoniao was not inside, and he should not have come back yet.

Look at the window as it fades into the dark.

Chen Beibei couldn't help but worry about the three-tailed fox, after all, the boss of the three-tailed fox felt very wrong to Rao.

And recently, there have been frequent murders of young women in Sakura Castle.

In the past, when I was doing bounty tasks, the time in the extradimensional world was not synchronized with the time in the real world.

At that time, no matter how long a task is done, in the real world, it is only a short time.

Now with the relationship with the gods, Chen Beibei can also sense the time of the monsters.

This is not a good thing for bounty missions. After all, if your time is synchronized with the time of the monsters, then the time spent doing the task will be the same as the time in real life.

At this time, Gu Huoniao had not come back, and Chen Beibei had no choice but to go to the system to take a look.

"It's better like it used to be."

Chen Beibei thought as he entered the system interface.

The things in the system are not complicated, and Chen Beibei is already very familiar with the things that were there before.

There is nothing that changes the time inside.

However, there are a lot of things in the courtyard store, and Chen Beibei is not very clear about those things.

And the synchronization of your own time with the monster time is also something that happened after the system turned on the courtyard store function. Therefore, this time synchronization situation may be solved in the courtyard shop.

Chen Beibei entered the interface of the courtyard store from the system, and the goods in it were presented in front of Chen Beibei one by one.

There are so many things that it's almost impossible to find them.

After all.

The courtyard shop looks like a huge mall with no borders.

"Onmyoji, what are you looking for?"

When Chen Beibei was flipping through the commodity interface, Ibuki's voice sounded out of thin air.

Chen Beibei looked at his room, and Ibuki was not there.

"I'm ...... here"

Ibuki's voice sounded again, and with it, an orange fat cat appeared on the screen of the courtyard shop. It's just a two-dimensional picture, and it still looks weird.

"Onmyoji, if you want to buy something, I can find it for you......"

Paper catwalk.

"Is there anything in here that can change time?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Change the time?"

Paper Cat asked.

"Time is a meow that cannot be changed, and this is a meow that violates the cosmic rules of the true God of creation. Is Onmyoji trying to make this universe go wrong and destroy it?! ”

The paper cat said solemnly.

Time is indeed a very fantastical thing, invisible and intangible, but it affects everything in the world.

Seeing that the paper cat was so serious, Chen Beibei had no choice but to ask from a different angle: "Before there was no courtyard store, even if I stayed in the courtyard for a long time, it would only be a moment after I returned to reality." Now it seems that the time I spend in the other dimension has been synchronized with the time in the real world. Do you know what this is all about? ”

"That's because you've become more powerful, Onmyoji was originally a special kind of human between humans and ghosts.

But.

A beginner onmyoji who is just getting started has no way to perceive the time of the youkai.

That's right.

The time of the yokai is actually also known as the time of the gods.

In the time of the gods, humans look as if they are floating towards the grave of life.

Life is extremely short.

That's why you had the feeling that you were in another dimension and felt like you had spent a long time, but in reality it was only a few hours, or even a few minutes. ”

Paper Cat explained.
