Chapter 21: The Spirit of the Samurai 7
In the shopping mall with many goods, the fat cat, which has always been orange, is lying quietly on the counter of Chen Beibei Shopping Mall.
The paper cat looked proud, as if it were a higher level of life.
"The time that youkai and the gods perceive together is different from that of humans, and this is also the true time set by the true God of creation. In later generations, plants began to appear, and then animals and humans began to appear in the world. The lifespans of these newly created species are extremely short compared to those of gods and yokai. This allows humans and animals who share the same time with the gods to live in fear of dying all day long. That's why the gods make humans and animals unable to perceive the real time. ”
Although this statement sounds very unreliable, however, the paper cat looks very serious.
This made Chen Beibei have to admit this.
But.
Now that he has sensed the time of the gods, he can't stay in the other dimensional world for a long time like before. This is undoubtedly very unfavorable for Chen Beibei.
After all.
The reward for the quest of the Spirit of the Retired Samurai is only 10,000 gold coins in total.
If it takes a year and a half in it, it will definitely outweigh the losses for Chen Beibei.
In the past, to solve the matter between the White Snake and Fahai Zen Master, Chen Beibei and they stayed in the other dimensional space for twenty or thirty years. Back to reality, it's only a few days.
If this is the current situation, back in the present world, Chen Beibei may have been buried in half of the loess.
"Is there any way to solve my current situation?"
Chen Beibei looked at Ibuki and asked him.
Ibuki still seems to know a lot of things, and Chen Beibei can only hope that Ibuki knows the solution to such a thing.
"The reason for this is because your cultivation has improved. The aura begins to slowly gather in your body, so that time mistakenly thinks that you are a monster, so you will perceive the real time.
This doesn't need to be solved, wait for the aura in your body to gradually stabilize.
Everything will be back to normal! ”
Ibuki said.
Although the Onmyoji is a human being, the Onmyoji's body will absorb the aura of heaven and earth.
These auras are not the kind of auras that the yokai absorb.
The aura absorbed by the monsters is mostly generated by strong emotions, resentment, jealousy, and love......
The aura absorbed by the Onmyoji is mostly generated by some subtle energy generated between the operation of heaven and earth.
The Onmyoji does not become a monster when he absorbs these auras, and the effect of these auras is only to allow the Onmyoji to use some Yin-Yang techniques that ordinary people can't use.
"Then I don't have to do anything now, and everything will go back to the same as before?"
Chen Beibei looked at Ibuki and asked him.
If this is really the case, then it is naturally the best, after all, Chen Beibei does not want to go on like this forever.
"Yes Meow ......"
The paper cat replied.
Chen Beibei didn't know much about things like aura and time, but now he probably knows a little.
In a word.
This world is far more complicated than Chen Beibei thought.
Chen Beibei got the answer he wanted, and left the courtyard store.
"Hey! Feed! Onmyoji, I've asked the question for so long, but I didn't buy anything? ”
Ibuki shouted.
"I'll buy it next time."
Chen Beibei said.
Ibuki still seems to be a relatively unscrupulous businessman, and I feel that in front of Ibuki, Chen Beibei has a feeling of baldness.
This is the case in Onmyoji's game, and now in the courtyard shop, it seems to be similar.
As soon as Ibuki appeared, the gold coins, which were originally not attractive to Chen Beibei, also became precious.
If it weren't for seeing those things in Ibuki's courtyard shop, Chen Beibei wouldn't have been able to do the 10,000 gold coin bounty task.
……
out of the system.
The light in the hostel had completely dimmed, and Chen Beibei turned on the lights.
Looking through the window, it was pitch black.
It was a night with no moon and no stars, giving a dark and oppressive feeling.
"Knock knock!"
In the otherwise quiet hostel, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Beibei thought that Gu Houniao had returned, so he hurriedly ran over and opened the door. But what I saw was the guy in the hostel.
"Uncle, this is the wine and food I just bought for you, please use it slowly!"
The guy had a smile on his face.
"Put it inside."
Chen Beibei said.
The drinks and food that the guy buys still looks very rich, probably the more he buys, the higher the guy's commission will be.
But.
Chen Beibei lives in a different dimensional space, and he doesn't need to spend money on his own.
The currency of all ages and countries.
You can receive currency payment from the system bounty task interface, which is probably when the system releases the task, these currencies have been placed on it.
Generally speaking, those currencies are basically sufficient.
Even if it is not enough, Chen Beibei can rely on his talisman, or his identity as an onmyoji, to do some things to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits to earn his own expenses in the other dimensional space.
The guy ran out of food and left.
Chen Beibei didn't eat those things either, Chen Beibei wanted to wait for Gu Huoniao to come back before eating.
By this time it was completely dark.
Gu Huoniao hasn't come back yet, Chen Beibei is still very worried, after all, even in the other dimensional space, his own gods will be harmed.
And.
In these ancient times, there were many more practitioners than in modern society.
Chen Beibei just waited.
It wasn't until late at night that I saw a large bird flying in the sky.
Chen Beibei hurriedly opened the window, and Gu Yu bird landed on the windowsill: "Master, I have found the spirit of the warrior." ”
……
Hostel room.
Chen Beibei and Gu Xuniao were eating, but most of the food was already cold.
"The spirit of the samurai is in the house of a shogun named Ashikaga Yoshiteru, which I just saw with my own eyes."
Gu Huoniao said.
"Let's eat first."
Chen Beibei looked at Gu Xuaniao and said to her.
During the day, Chen Beibei had also inquired about the whereabouts of the Spirit of the Samurai.
However, Chen Beibei could not be sure at that time.
Now that Gu Taka said this, it can basically be determined that the spirit of the samurai is the famous sword that Ashikaga Yoshiteru took out for everyone to see at the banquet.
"In the beginning, I saw that the man kept talking to this knife. I also felt very puzzled, but when I was about to leave, an old man actually came out of the knife. It's just a very ordinary little monster, but he still dares to appear in front of humans. This samurai spirit is really not afraid of death. ”
Gu Shouniao said as he ate.
"Eat first."
Chen Beibei looked at Gu Huoniao and said again.
When they came here, Chen Beibei and Gu Xuniao didn't eat all day.
Chen Beibei knows.
Gu Yu must have been hungry at this time.
Now that the Spirit of the Samurai has been found, the matter is easily resolved.
So.
Chen Beibei has nothing to worry about.
And it seems impossible to accomplish this task today, and return to this world.
In the evenings, there is still plenty of time to communicate carefully.
Gu has always been a very responsible youkai, and she also likes to do things.
It's as if it's tireless.
Chen Beibei knew that Gu Huoniao did this in the first place because he wanted to keep himself busy and not be immersed in those obscure memories all the time.
And now...... I'm probably used to it, so it's hard to change.
……
Night.
Chen Beibei and Gu Xuniao were lying on the bed, and the lights in the hostel had been turned off.
"Why isn't the spirit of a warrior afraid that someone else will kill it?"
Gu Xuaniao asked.
Chen Beibei thought about it, the reason why the spirit of the samurai dared to do that was probably to take advantage of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's love for famous swords.
"Because Ashikaga Yoshiteru is a swordsman who loves to collect famous swords, the spirit of the samurai dares to appear in front of him. Human beings are always tolerant of what they love. ”
Chen Beibei replied.
It seems very dangerous for the samurai spirit to do this, after all, humans and youkai are in opposing positions.
Basically, there are no weak monsters that dare to appear in front of humans.
But.
The appearance of the spirit of the samurai in front of Ashikaga Yoshiteru will not only not be dangerous, but it will be a very safe practice.
Because the spirit of the samurai knows that Ashikaga Yoshiki loves famous swords.
And as a monster inhabiting the katana, following Ashikaga Yoshiki's side, Ashikaga Yoshiki saw him, of course, he would feel that it was because he had a relationship with the sword that he would see the sword spirit in the katana.
"Ashikaga Yoshiki will protect the spirit of the samurai."
Chen Beibei continued.
"Protection?"
Gu Xuaniao asked.
"Humans and youkai are opposites, but if they are loved, then this opposition can be eliminated. Just like people worship the Inari god Otsu. ”
Chen Beibei replied.
"The host...... ...... with us It's also a relationship, right? ”
Gu Xuniao looked at Chen Beibei and said softly.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei replied.
The two men did not continue, and the night was quiet again, and Gu Huoniao closed his eyes.
Chen Beibei also slowly fell asleep......
……
Early the next morning.
The sun shone in through the window, and Chen Beibei naturally opened his eyes.
I don't know when I got up.
"Master, let's go find the Spirit of the Samurai."
Gu Huoniao said.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei replied.
Yesterday, Gu Takao had already seen the spirit of the samurai, so the two of them went straight to Ashikaga Yoshiteru's shogun's mansion.
Chen Beibei's mission is only to retire the spirit of the warrior.
This task is relatively simple, you can either seal the spirit of the samurai or kill the spirit of the samurai. Of course, it's okay to be a god.
The main reason for the Onmyoji to retreat from the yokai is to prevent the yokai from continuing to interfere with the normal life of humans in the human world.
So.
As long as the requirement of not allowing youkai to interfere with the normal life of humans can be satisfied, it can be regarded as a successful retreat.
"Gu Won Bird, let's go in like this, I'm afraid we won't see Ashikaga Yoshiteru."
Chen Beibei looked at Gu Xuaniao and said to her.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru is a shogun, and no one in Awaji Province has a higher status than him.
Even the Yataku Fuyasu, who controls the Ataka Water Army, and the Miyoshi Nagakei of the Miyoshi family, are under Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
It is not easy to meet such a noble person in this era.
Chen Beibei originally wanted to go to the teahouse yesterday first.
Then he asked the old samurai to ask Yasutaka Fuyasu to introduce him to meet Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
"Master, didn't you say that Ashikaga Yoshiki is the sword hero among the sword heroes?"
Gu Xuaniao looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.
Chen Beibei seemed to smile when he saw Gu Xuaniao say this.
Gu Won Bird ...... Laughed......
"Hmm. Ashikaga Yoshiteru was taught by Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and Tsukahara Buden, two sword saints. It is said that there is no one in the world who can compete with him in swordsmanship. ”
Chen Beibei looked at Gu Xuaniao and said to her.
When Chen Beibei saw Gu Xuaniao's smile, he actually roughly understood what Gu Xuaniao wanted to do.
When Gu Yu Bird came, he still disliked that the spirit of the warrior was just a small monster. And the task is too simple.
"Gu Won Bird, you don't want to test your swordsmanship with Ashikaga Yoshiteru, do you?"
Chen Beibei looked at Gu Huoniao and said slowly.
"Master, you guessed it."
Gu Huoniao said.
Seeing Gu Huoniao say this, although Chen Beibei was a little worried, he was rarely happy to see Gu Huoniao.
I didn't try to persuade Gu to get the bird.
"Doesn't General Ashikaga Yoshiteru like to collect famous swords? I have just one in my hand, and that's enough for General Ashikaga Yoshiteru to be willing to receive us. ”
Gu Xuanniao continued.
"You've got an umbrella in your hand......"
Chen Beibei looked at Gu Huoniao and said a little speechlessly.
I didn't expect that since Gu Houniao also had such unreliable times, it was obviously the difficulty of the task in the past.
"Umbrella Sword!"
Gu Huoniao replied.
The umbrella sword in Gu Xuaniao's hand does look like an umbrella under normal circumstances.
But.
If in battle, that umbrella is a sword for Gu Won Bird.
Use an umbrella as a sword!
However, the umbrella in Gu Bird's hand, no matter how sharp the famous knife is, will not be damaged at all.
At this point, it is much better than ordinary weapons that can be cut off by sharper famous knives.
"Master, I'm in."
After Gu Shoutori finished speaking, he walked directly towards Ashikaga Yoshiki's shogun's mansion, but he was still stopped by the guards at the door.
Chen Beibei hurriedly walked over and said to the guards at the door: "We are here to present the famous sword to General Ashikaga Yoshiteru. ”
Hearing Chen Beibei's words, the guards' faces also softened.
It can be seen that General Ashikaga Yoshiteru still attaches great importance to those who pay tribute to famous swords.
Even the guards at the door are extremely dignified.
"Two nobles, come in with us."
The guard bent down and said respectfully.
Even when they came with weapons, the guards did not search their bodies, let alone let them put their weapons down. Obviously, it was intended that they should directly bring weapons to Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Probably in this world, only General Ashikaga Yoshiteru dares to do this.
