Chapter 142: Wine Swallowing
"Ghost Yikun, it's really powerful......"
After Wu Ming saluted and left, Yamada Husheng suddenly sighed: "Such a warrior, but he can't be used by me, does this mean that I am still lacking in terms of strength?" ”
Hearing this, Naito Takamasa's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he buried his head deep on the floor, not daring to say anything. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
……
"Rescue Ji Jun?"
On the other side, Wu Ming was also thinking: "And after the matter is completed, immediately give me three hundred stones of hereditary Zhixing, the most important thing is that there are no other incidental obligations, tsk...... This big name seems to really like his little daughter......"
At this time, the situation in Izumo Province was almost clear.
The entire Izumo country, the eight counties of Koniishi, Nita, Noyoshi, Ohara, Kaimon, Iyu, Shimane, and Izumo, has iron ore and large lakes, and is famous for its katana and catches, and the overall stone height is 300,000 stones, and the current Izumo Mamoru is the Iyu family.
Numata Castle is located in a corner of Iishi County, where the Yamada family has 12,000 koku, and is a power of the daimyo.
Although he nominally submitted to the Yi Yu family, in fact, the secret confrontation and alliance never stopped for a moment.
Coupled with the power of the shrine and the dojo, as well as the influence of demons and the nocturnal movement of a hundred ghosts, the entire Fuso Continent is constantly falling and struggling in the troubled times.
War and flames can be said to be accompanied by them all the time.
"Samurai-sama! My lord has also prepared a partner for you, please come with me! ”
Out of the castle tower, a young man led Wu Ming to another room.
As soon as the wooden partition was opened, several eyes suddenly noticed.
"Huh?"
Wu Ming swept it and saw that there were only three people inside, a swordsman, a samurai, and a lawyer, which gave him a strange feeling.
'It's a strange feeling, different from the priest, is it an onmyoji? ’
Wu Ming's sharp eyes swept and said loudly: "I am the governor of the ghost family, and I have a magic eye!" The captain appointed by the lord of the castle this time, please report your names! ”
"I'm a samurai of the Yamada family, named Akiyama Kanbei!"
The warrior was the first to answer, he had a burly appearance and a large beard on his face, but unfortunately in Wu Ming's eyes, he was also evaluated at the first level of martial arts.
"My name is Mitsumasa Toda, and I'm a sword student who is practicing in the dojo!"
Another swordsman said, but unfortunately it was only one level, worse than the swordsman who died in Wu Ming's hands at the beginning.
"It's all cannon fodder, I'm afraid there is only one guide and a familiar role in the situation, but this ......
Wu Ming looked at the last Onmyoji.
This person seemed to be only twenty or thirty years old, wearing a white hunting suit, a red belt, and a black black hat on his head, his demeanor was calm and elegant, and he bowed slightly at this time, and said: "I am Ito Keixiu, a traveling yin-yang man!" ”
Above his head, the inner fortune is pure white, and he is indeed a master of the second level of yin and yang magic.
"Very good...... This time, you must work hard to save Ji Jun from the demons! ”
Wu Ming said that there was no nutrition on his lips, but in his heart he thought of the Onmyoji.
The so-called Onmyoji, that is, the practitioner who pursues the path of Yin and Yang and uses the Yin-Yang technique, the Onmyoji generally believes that Yin and Yang represent a concept of being divided into two, everything is two-sided, one eliminates the other, and the other is the concept of mutual control, and it is also the law that all things in the world can be generated, and with this as the core, many spells have been developed.
He has dabbled in everything from manipulative gods, spells and exorcisms, to divination, astrology, and calendars, and is also proficient in tea ceremony and other arts, so he is a guest of many daimyos.
In addition, he is often involved in activities to dispel demons.
It's just that, like all Dharma Professions, the entry and advancement of an Onmyoji is much more difficult than that of a swordsman, ninja, or even a priest.
'Hmm...... I heard that among the onmyoji, there are also apprentices of the yin and yang students, and the yin and yang scholars, and only after these two levels are the real onmyoji! The entire Fusang, the characters who can really be called onmyoji, I'm afraid there are not a few of them combined...... Not to mention the Yin Yang Heavenly Master, this is almost the existence of myths and legends......
Wu Ming thought to himself.
Yin-Yang Sheng, Yin-Yang Shi, Yin-Yang Master, and Yin-Yang Heavenly Master are actually the standards of the first, second, third, and fourth levels.
'It's quite similar to the division of swordsmen, swordsmen, swordsmen, and swordsmen......
Wu Ming took a deep breath.
The mortal power systems of this world have all faintly touched the level of the fourth level! It was enough to warn him.
Of course, a third-level onmyoji like a real person is an extremely rare existence, and in comparison, it is still a martial arts master, and the probability of appearing with a sword master is a little higher...... Of course, it's also very rare, just ......'
At this time, another rumor, or speculation, came to mind.
Whether it is martial arts or kendo, simply honing skills, exercising the body, no matter how you condense your spirit and strengthen your will, when you reach the stage of the fourth-level martial saint and sword saint, it is already the limit!
The way of martial arts, that's it!
At this point, even Fusang's onmyoji system also gave Wu Ming this feeling.
Among the Taoists, the fourth-level is only a human immortal, and in the back, there is a fifth-level earth immortal! Or even higher! The development potential is far beyond it.
"I was just invited by the city lord, and I don't know the specific situation, so please ask someone to explain it to me!"
Wu Ming knelt down and sat down, his spine was straight, and he naturally had a kind of majesty.
Akiyama Kanbei and Toda Mitsumasa both bowed their heads in awe, but only Ito Keihide had a hint of color flashing in his eyes.
He has traveled so far, and naturally he has heard rumors of Konosuke Kami, and has always thought that he is a powerful swordsman.
But now it seems that the other party is probably also a powerful magician!
Ito Keixiu touched the pendant hanging on his neck, made of fine iron, the feathers of demon birds, and the hair of a resentful girl, and the pentagram-shaped bellflower seal pendant, and muttered in his heart.
"This ...... Let's explain it below! ”
Hearing Wu Ming ask this, Akiyama Kanbei stepped forward and knelt down, with a heavy expression on his face: "Three days ago, my little Ji Jun's convoy was attacked by bandits!" ”
"Bandits? Isn't it a youkai? ”
Wu Ming was stunned: "How many of you are there?" How many people are on the other side? ”
Akiyama Kanbei replied: "Oda-kun and Banshan-kun are both samurai, and there are fifteen ashigaru, there are dozens of people on the other side, and a trap was arranged, Banshan-kun was killed on the spot, Kohime-kun was taken captive, and after Oda-kun came back to report the situation, he thanked him!" ”
"Afterwards, the lord was furious and ordered his ninjas to track it down, and it was finally clear that it was the earth spider, a gang of thieves entrenched in the southern part of Iishi County, who had hundreds of people and occupied Tsukimi Mountain!"
"The lord sent several waves of people to rescue in a row, but in the end they were all fiascos, until a dying ninja came with the news, only to know that the leader of this group of earth spiders was actually a big monster, using demon power to kill the people who went to the rescue!"
"Therefore...... The lord found two! ”
Akiyama Kanbei and Mitsumasa Toda pressed their foreheads against the floor: "Please! Please be sure to rescue my family's Ji Jun! Even if we gamble with our lives, we will help the two adults! ”
"That leader, what kind of youkai is it? Is there any intelligence? ”
Ito Keihide seemed to have arrived only a moment earlier than Wu Ming, and then asked.
"I don't know...... We only know that the leader is usually a handsome young monk, but he has incredible demonic powers, and ...... He also loves to plunder and cannibalize women and children......"
"Is it a drunken boy?"
Before he finished speaking, Ito Jingxiu next to him let out an exclamation.
"Wine swallowing boy?"
Wu Ming looked at Ito Keixiu suspiciously.
"This is the famous big youkai of the Yin and Yang world, which has caused trouble in more than ten countries, and was finally retired by the leader of the Onmyoji, the Imperial Gate, and sealed for ninety-nine years, I didn't expect to escape the seal, and hide in the Izumo Kingdom......"
Ito Keixiu inhaled the cold air: "If it's really a drunken boy, then you must rescue Ji Jun within seven days, otherwise you will inevitably become the bait of the monster!" ”
There was bitterness on his face: "Now, even if I immediately use a thousand paper cranes to inform the master, I'm afraid it's too late in time......"
"Let's go!"
Wu Ming said suddenly.
"What?" The three people in the room still couldn't react.
"A warrior should forget about death, this is my consciousness as a samurai!"
Wu Ming said: "The enemies confirmed so far are a group of more than 100 robber earth spiders and a monster leader, right?" Kanbei, you go and prepare four horses, and it's not a short journey from here to Tsukimi Mountain! ”
"Hah!"
This awe-inspiring posture suddenly made Akiyama Kanbei obey his orders, and he felt a certain kind of realization, and his face sank down.
"And Toda Mitsumasa, you go and prepare dry food, rice balls, of course, equipment, bows and arrows, and a few more katanas!"
Mitsumasa Toda also saluted and retreated.
"Then may I ask the ghost Yikun, what about me?"
Ito Keihide was curious: "If there is anything you need my service for, please don't be polite!" ”
"This time, the main force, only the two of us, now just have a good rest!"
Wu Ming unceremoniously half-lay down: "Ito-kun, that wine-swallowing boy is going to be handed over to you!" ”
"With all due respect!"
Ito Jingxiu looked at Wu Ming strangely: "Why is Oni Yijun so confident?" ”
"A youkai that has been sealed for ninety-nine years hasn't recovered to its peak yet, has it? Otherwise, I would have already gone back to the Onmyoji University to report and reply......"
Wu Ming said.
"Hmm...... What else? But is it because of Ghost Yijun's yin-yang technique? I feel the traces of spiritual power in you! ”
Ito Keihide gritted his teeth and finally spoke.
"Oh? Can you see that? ”
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "When I was traveling, I did follow a teacher, and he taught me a strange cultivation method, so that I also have spiritual power and can cast spells, if you want me to be an onmyoji, then forget it!" (To be continued.) )
