Chapter XXIII: The Spirit of the Samurai 9
General's Palace, back garden.
Many ironclad guards and guests gathered around Gutotori and Ashikaga Yoshiaki, watching their competition.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru's posture at the moment looks a little weird and extreme.
But he finally blocked Gu Bird's sword!
"Hoo ......"
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, and the knives drawn by the guests were also put back into their sheaths
"General, this is the end of this competition!"
Gu Shutori withdrew his sword and flew backwards lightly, keeping a relatively safe distance from Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and then said.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru inserted his short knife into the sheath, and there was some cold sweat on his forehead.
"Well, this time, I'm slightly down, and you win. I don't know the name of the chivalrous woman? ”
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Gushu and asked her.
"Gu ......" Gu Xue Niao thought about it, if the name is the name, it must not be possible to directly report the name Gu Yu Niao, "The woman's name is Gu Su Xueluo!" ”
It's a random name for the bird.
In general, I also returned to school
……
After the competition between Gu Won Bird and Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Ashikaga Yoshiki tried his best to keep Gu Won Bird, wanting her to be his guest in his own house.
But.
Gu Huoniao and Chen Beibei came to retreat from the spirit of the warrior, so they directly refused.
In the evening, Ashikaga Yoshiteru held a banquet.
As for the dedication of the famous sword, Ashikaga Yoshiteru also said that he could not win people's love.
After all.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru had the upper hand in the competition with Gu Ori, Ashikaga Yoshiteru had the upper hand.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru can get this competition today, which is already a very high thing for him.
"General, can you show us the famous knife that is rumored in the streets?"
Gu Taka asked Ashikaga Yoshiki during the banquet.
"Of course."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru replied.
Apparently.
For those who really understand these swords, Ashikaga Yoshiteru still has a lot of respect.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru immediately stopped, left his seat directly and went to his bedroom, and took out the famous knife: "You see, this is the knife." ”
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Gu Won Bird and Chen Beibei and said to them.
Things can go so smoothly, which Chen Beibei didn't expect at all before.
But.
From this point, it can also be seen that Ashikaga Yoshiteru is in front of these people who know how to swords. It's really very easy-going. probably regarded Gu Huoniao and Chen Beibei as confidants who could communicate.
The knife lay quietly on the knife holder.
The mahogany knife holder and the black gold scabbard look like the color contrast is still relatively obvious.
Chen Beibei opened his spiritual eye, wanting to see if there were monsters inhabited in this knife.
After all.
The rumor that Ashikaga Yoshiki has a famous sword that lives with a sword spirit is only heard by Chen Beibei in a teahouse.
The Spiritual Eye opens.
Chen Beibei saw that the knife emitted a light blue light, which was completely different from the color of the Ugin scabbard.
And.
Chen Beibei knew what this kind of light was, it was the energy emitted by the monster, also known as demonic energy.
Seeing this, Chen Beibei was relieved.
After all.
If there are youkai living in it, there is basically a ** chance that it is the spirit of the samurai.
"Sure enough, it's a famous knife."
Chen Beibei looked at Ashikaga Yoshiki and said to him.
"Sir can also see the strangeness of this knife?"
Ashikaga Yoshiteru asked.
"Well, this knife has a sword spirit living inside. General Ashikaga Yoshiteru, if you don't mind, I want to call this sword spirit out. ”
North Chenbei Road.
Although Chen Beibei knew that the monster that lived inside the knife was actually a monster, Chen Beibei didn't want to come out at the moment.
Because Chen Beibei has already thought of a way to solve this problem.
"Sir, please."
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Chen Beibei and said respectfully.
When he was at the banquet, Ashikaga Yoshiki called the sword spirit to come out, wanting to show the heads of the family at the banquet. As a result, he failed, and he could barely get off the stage.
Now, Chen Beibei can call out the sword spirit, and Ashikaga Yoshiki is naturally very curious.
After all.
The woman who came with Chen Beibei had already shown her astonishing swordsmanship.
Chen Beibei will naturally not be an ordinary person.
Chen Beibei picked up the knife and whispered a few incantations.
"Come out!"
Chen Beibei looked at the spirit of the warrior and said to him.
When the warrior spirit heard Chen Beibei's incantation, he already knew that Chen Beibei was an onmyoji.
The spirit of the samurai can't come out at this moment.
After all.
If a youkai comes to the human world and interferes with human life, then the Onmyoji will retire the youkai.
Especially if you provoke these court officials, you are undoubtedly causing trouble.
The spirit of the warrior came out of the sword, turned into an old rao appearance, and stood in front of Chen Beibei and them.
It looks like it's just a youkai.
"Are you the sword spirit of this sword?"
Chen Beibei looked at the spirit of the warrior and asked him.
The warrior spirit looked up at Chen Beibei, his face full of doubts, but in an instant, he seemed to have understood.
"Yes!"
The spirit of the warrior replied.
The sword spirit is just a casual compilation by humans, and there are no sword spirits in this world, but they are all monsters.
But.
Human beings have no doubt about the sword spirit.
And if that person really has a famous sword with a sword spirit, then he will definitely be envied and praised by others.
"Since it is the sword spirit of this sword, then you should stay in the sword and protect your master."
Chen Beibei looked at the spirit of the warrior and said to him.
Since Chen Beibei has received the task of retiring the spirit of the warrior, this task must be completed.
"Do you want to stay in this sword to protect General Ashikaga Yoshiteru, or do you want to go with me?"
Chen Beibei looked at the spirit of the warrior and asked him.
The Spirit of the Samurai is a loyal guardian of his own lord Rao Youkai, and no Onmyoji has ever been able to use the Spirit of the Samurai as his own Shikigami to drive. Because the spirit of the samurai only guards those swordsmen and swordsmen, the spirit of the samurai is not an evil monster.
The reason why Chen Beibei asked this was because he just wanted to give the spirit of the warrior one more choice.
If you go with yourself, you will undoubtedly live a more comfortable life.
At least.
It's much better than being sealed in a knife and living a long and invisible life.
"I am willing to always be by the side of General Ashikaga Yoshiteru!"
The Spirit of the Samurai.
Being sealed in the knife can actually make the knife sharper, after all, the energy of the monster plays a role in the knife.
Samurai Spirit.
It is a youkai that is formed by a loyal samurai who wants to continue to protect his master after his death.
Guard.
is the only meaning of their existence.
For this, they can give up everything, whether they don't see the sun or the moon, whether they are trapped in a sword all day long, or even the sword is destroyed, or they disappear into the world with the sword. These are all things that they can accept in order to pursue the meaning of existence.
"General Ashikaga Yoshiteru, did you hear the words of the Sword Spirit?"
Chen Beibei looked at Ashikaga Yoshiki and asked him.
"Hmm."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru replied.
"Since Ru Ci said, I will seal the sword spirit forever in this famous sword Zheng
That's what it wants.
And in the future, this famous knife will always accompany you!
But there's one thing I hope you'll remember ......"
Chen Beibei looked at Ashikaga Yoshiki and said to him.
"Sir, please, Yoshiki will take it to heart!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki saw Chen Beibei summon the sword spirit, and the sword spirit in front of Chen Beibei's humble gesture. In his heart, he already regards Chen Beibei as a real master.
"Once the sword spirit is sealed in the sword, it means that once the sword is destroyed, the sword spirit will also disappear! Therefore, I implore General Ashikaga Yoshiteru to cherish the cooking in the future and not let this sword be destroyed! ”
Chen Beibei looked at Ashikaga Yoshiki and said to him.
"Yihui was originally a knife lover, sir, you can rest assured, this will never happen!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Chen Beibei and said very seriously.
Chen Beibei believed that Ashikaga Yoshiki would not let this knife be destroyed at will.
And.
Even if this sword is destroyed, it is the life of the samurai spirit.
Chen Beibei took out an R-class god sealing talisman and sealed the spirit of the warrior in the sword Zheng who left
"Ding, bounty mission accomplished! The Alternate Dimension is closed! ”
The cold sound of the system sounded in Chen Beibei's ears, and then the surrounding scene became blurred and distorted, and finally turned into darkness.
……
Qinghe Town, Chen Beibei's room.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a new sun rising outside the window, and a few sparrows chirping in the branches.
"Ding, congratulations to Onmyoji-sama for completing the bounty task and getting the reward, gold coins!"
The system's chime rings again.
It was only then that Chen Beibei realized that he had just returned from Awaji Province in 1564. Instead of just waking up from a sleep.
"Is it too long to stay in another dimension this time? My memory is a little blurry. ”
Chen Beibei rubbed his temples and thought so.
If it's really as Ibuki, then all of this may be a temporary chaos caused by one's own promotion to the next stage.
Overall, there's no need to worry too much.
"Master, the task is complete, I'm going to practice the sword!"
Gu Xuaniao, who was standing on the side of the room, walked out directly to Chen Beibei.
Gu Huoniao is still very diligent.
Chen Beibei's memory at the moment is still a little confused, and it feels as if he has just woken up in the morning.
"The moment I returned to reality, it was night in the interdimensional space, but in reality, it turned out to be early in the morning. Is it already gradually recovering? Or is it more confusing? ”
Chen Beibei has been thinking about these things.
However, no matter how you think about it, you still can't figure it out. After all, these things are not things that human cognition can understand and explain in the first place.
"Let's get some sleep."
Chen Beibei finished and lay on the bed, but just after lying down, he seemed to feel that there was something important to do.
"What is it...... Chen Beibei lay on the bed, thinking slowly, "Oh...... Three-tailed fox, shroud shop...... And the recent serial murders in Sakura Castle! ”
Thinking of this, Chen Beibei immediately turned over.
Chen Beibei sucked his face sharply, and then pushed the door of the three-tailed fox open.
"Ahh
The three-tailed fox, who was originally dressing, heard someone pushing the door, instinctively screamed, and after seeing that it was Chen Beibei, he lowered his head: "Ah...... It turned out to be the master......"
Chen Beibei closed the door, retreated, rubbed his face, and said regretfully in his heart: "It's really getting busier and more chaotic, when will this state end!"
But fortunately, the three-tailed fox is a monster, not an ordinary girl.
At least in the heart of the three-tailed fox, he doesn't care too much about such things.
"Master, is there anything wrong with you?"
After the three-tailed fox got dressed, he opened the door, looked at Chen Beibei, and asked him.
The three-tailed fox's face was still flushed at the moment.
Probably.
It's because I've lived in the human world for so long, and I've gradually come to understand these things.
"In the future, when you commute to work, let the dog god follow you."
Chen Beibei looked at the three-tailed fox and said to her.
Although Chen Beibei originally planned to go with the three-tailed fox by himself, but thinking that his state was too poor, if he went with the three-tailed fox, he might cause some mess. So it's better to let the dog god protect the three-tailed fox.
"Why is this happening, is something happening?"
The three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei, and the flush on his face gradually disappeared.
"Well, there have been a lot of murders of young women in Sakura City recently. It's not clear who did it, but it's always right to be careful. ”
Chen Beibei looked at the three-tailed fox and told the truth.
During the days when I returned to Qinghe Town, the Shikami didn't have much to do, and they were still very idle.
Letting the dog god escort the three-tailed fox to and from work is just a very easy thing for the dog god to come. What's more, this can also allow Inugami to go out and walk more.
All in all, it's still good.
"That's ...... Could it be, it's too much trouble for the dog god......"
The three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and said in a low voice.
"It's okay, Inugami has nothing to do lately, and he himself should be more busy."
North Chenbei Road.
Inugami and Gu Bird are still very similar, and both of them are very responsible and focused when they are on task.
And.
They also love to carry out tasks very much!
However, most of Gu Bird's busyness comes from wanting to escape those painful memories and atonement in the past.
And the busyness of the dog god seems to be just an instinct!
Probably the dog gods cultivated by the dog god envoy clan are all Rutz.
Otherwise.
It is impossible for the dog god to rely on the dog god, which is well known and even passed down to this day in the era when a hundred flowers were blooming.
"Okay then."
The three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and replied to him.
After the three-tailed fox agreed, Chen Beibei went to the yard to find the dog god who was leaning on the old locust tree and closing his eyes.
The task of protecting the three-tailed fox was entrusted to the inugami.
Knowing that watching the three-tailed fox and the dog god go out together, Chen Beibei can be relieved......
