Chapter 166: Reason
Covered in blood, Tenma put away his long knife and slowly stepped into the bedroom with a snow-white Mu Q on his shoulder.
The daimyo had already seen the battle situation outside through the broken paper window, his face was complicated, with a hint of shame and lightness, he stood up, poured a cup of tea and greeted Tenma.
"Pegasus-kun, sit."
The man's behavior was a little strange, his expression was as calm as ever, and after pouring the tea, he sat quietly behind the low table, not saying a word, and not caring about the strong smell of blood on Pegasus.
Sitting down casually, Tenma didn't care if it was rude, this man was no longer Tenma's employer, and it could even be said that he was the betrayer who caused Tenma to die several times.
But Tenma was not in a hurry, nor did he drink the tea poured by the man, and sat cross-legged at the low table with a relaxed and lazy seat.
Taking off the long knife and sheath behind his back, and placing it at his side, Tianma picked up the wine gourd hanging from his waist, and poured it happily, exhaled a mouthful of mellow and rich wine, and looked at the man opposite with his eyelids drooping.
Slightly embarrassed by Tenma's calm and lazy gaze, the man opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start for a while, so he closed it in embarrassment.
After half a ring, the man organized his language and said slowly, "Tianma-kun, I wonder if Lu Dao is interested in listening to me tell a story about two brothers?" ”
Glancing noncommittally, Tenma even leaned his body against the low table rudely, half-lying, and poured a sip of wine from time to time, but unexpectedly seemed to have a true temperament.
Tenma didn't nod or refuse.
"I'm not actually the second son of the daimyo......"
The light voice is very nice in the silent night, the paper doors and windows have long been broken, and the cool night breeze outside slowly blows in, which is refreshing and pleasant.
The two of them sat in the empty bedroom guest room, one talking lightly, the other listening quietly, sipping tea and medicinal wine from time to time. One person is dignified and steady, the other person is free and easy, and it looks quite harmonious under the dim light.
Half an hour later.
"That's the case, if you can, please be able to do it neatly, so I'm grateful. To be honest, in fact, the most feared thing has always been pain. ”
The man smiled so gently, straightened his back, and his eyes were bright and warm, but he said words begging for death.
Putting away the wine gourd, Tenma raised his head slightly to look at the man with a sincere expression, "Oh? Is it to arouse my sympathy? ”
"Sort of!"
The man was a little helpless, but he couldn't do it with a straight and steady posture, neither quibbling nor begging for mercy, just quietly looking at the casual and lazy Pegasus in front of the low table, with a faint envy in his eyes.
"Then you're wrong!"
"Boom!!"
In a crisp knife sound, a bright knife light appeared!
Tenma had already scooped up the long knife at his side, and the rapid blade flashed with silver-red fine fluorescence, and suddenly slashed through a graceful arc, straight towards the man!
In an instant, countless scattered strands of jet-black hair fluttered and scattered.
"Khooth!" Put the knife back in its sheath.
The whole guest room was once again immersed in silence, except for the sound of insects in the grass in the small courtyard outside the empty door.
"It's beautiful!" The man with intoxicated eyes sighed at the poignant and gorgeous sword light, and then returned to his usual calm and quiet appearance, "Won't you kill me?" ”
Instead of scooping up the gourd hanging from his waist, Tenma picked up the tea on the low table and took a sip. Hearing the man's question, Tenma glanced at the other party contemptuously, "What's the good of killing you?!" ”
The man was silent.
After drinking the tea, Tenma straightened up and stood up with the long knife on his shoulders, "Let's go, let's see what will be in the secret room!" ”
"You're a good person."
The man stood up, looked at Pegasus, who was covered in blood with a long knife, and said solemnly.
"Lots of words."
……
In the garden in the deepest part of the mansion, in front of a rockery, two figures stood quietly.
Tenma glanced at the man with a long knife at his waist beside him, and didn't speak, just glanced at the ordinary rockery in front of him.
"Qiang~" pulled out the long knife, the man walked forward slowly, stretched out his left palm and slashed heavily on the sharp blade of the long knife, bright red blood stained the entire blade, and then stabbed into an ordinary stone in front of the rockery.
It's obviously a very solid stone, but it's completely pierced by a man without the slightest force!
With the piercing of the long knife, the bright red blood on the blade instantly turned into a fine bloodline, slowly changing and twisting and scattering, outlining an Indian array with a faint red glow on the stone face.
"Click~Boom......"
The entire rockery shook, and with the completion of the formation, the rockery suddenly cracked a pitch-black culvert channel more than three meters wide, and extended obliquely to the bottom of the rockery.
Lighting the torches that had been prepared, the Pegasus and the two walked into the culvert, and after walking a short distance, the walls on both sides of the passage were covered with cumbersome prints that did not know what to do.
It felt like the entire belly of the mountain city was opened, and after walking along the passage for a long time, the two finally came to the end.
A large stone room fell into the eyes of the two, and as soon as they stepped in, a raging flame ignited in the corner of the stone room, illuminating the entire space transparently.
The stone chamber is about 30 meters high, nearly 100 meters long and wide, and the walls and floors are covered with complicated formations connected to the huge stone platform in the center.
There are also more complex patterns painted on the stone platform, and the patterns that flash with a thick yellow light turn into chains, which are dead entwined with a strange and handsome monster on the stone platform.
It was a pale blue eagle-like beast, more than ten meters long, four or five meters tall, with sharp claws and a sharp beak, closed pupils, and crackling blue-white thunder all over its body.
"This is the flying treasure mentioned on that scroll?!" Pegasus narrowed his eyes, looking at the beast imprisoned by the heavy earthy yellow light.
"Yes, it's called Thunder Owl, according to the edict, it is a fierce bird with the wind and thunder attribute captured and imprisoned by the ancestors, an S-level monster, but the size of the record is much larger than now." It was also the first time the man had seen this strange beast recorded in the edict, but when he heard Tenma's question, he tried his best to explain.
"You can't control it? Otherwise, how could the country of mountains become what it is now? Tenma quickly guessed the truth of the matter.
"Uh~" The man just smiled awkwardly.
Therefore, it seems that the purpose of that group of cloud ninjas is really this strange beast. Otherwise, they would not have specially sent two elite squads, or ninjas who cooperated tacitly and were able to set a strange formation trap.
Thinking so, Tenma glanced at the man with only a thin inch of hair on his side, and it seemed that he was not lying.
"Why are you going to give it to me?" Tenma asked, frowning.
"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. The news of this strange beast has leaked out, and it is the same for everyone, except for the group of Yun Ren who killed their younger brother. The man's voice was very flat, and the education he received since childhood made him accustomed to joy and anger, and he couldn't hear the slightest resentment towards Yun Ren.
It's a bit hard to fix! Pegasus just frowned, thinking about how to take the beast for herself. In the decision to spare the man, this flying monster beast also occupies a lot of reasons.
After a moment's thought, Tenma's left hand swayed, and a wide scroll appeared in Tenma's hand, with the word psychic written on the front cover.
As soon as he opened it, a silver handwriting appeared in the sea of knowledge.
"Found that you can sign a psychic beast, S-level wind and thunder attribute bird monster, thunder owl (A-), current state, sealed, do you sign a contract?"
"Yes!"
Sure enough! Tenma's furrowed brow instantly loosened.
"The intimacy conditions have not been met, and the compulsory signing requires the blood of the demon beast."
The brow that had just been released was furrowed again, no matter what, there was still a fight!
"Can you unblock the Indian Seal?"
"This, can it be, but can you take it?" The man asked with a deep groan.
"Give it a try! After so many years of sealing, its strength must have dropped a lot, Mu Q! ”
Tenma took off the long knife and called out to the little pet lying on his shoulder, looking fixedly at the thunderbolt in the middle.
Somewhat helpless, the man pushed down the entrance of the stone chamber and stretched out his left hand, which was still full of blood, to press it against the stone wall.
"Wait a minute!"
Pegasus interrupted the man's movements with a sudden exit, and moved his hands and feet, "I'll prepare." ”
"Eight Gate Dunjia! Open the door, hurt the door, close the door, open!! ”
……
In the night sky, which already had a faint glow of the early morning, a huge beast with a wingspan of more than 30 meters was flying steadily, and on his broad back lay a young man dressed in black and covered in blood, carrying a wine gourd in his palm and pouring it without a mouthful.
The fierce wind blew the boy's half-length black hair and black and red clothes, and the clothes were hunting.
"Whew...... I always feel tired! It's just an ordinary A-level mission, and I've almost died several times. Tenma smiled bitterly and sighed, and the sharp pain in his lower ribs made the boy's smile twitch. It's rare to have a skill, just want to learn from the righteous spirit of the ancestors, and emphasize righteousness over death, so many things have happened, it's really ......"
Smiling bitterly again, Tenma slowly closed his eyes, quietly recalling the entire story of the mission.
The mission's employer, Daimyo Yamano, was not a positive character in the incident, and died before Tenma took over the mission.
The only person who entertained Tenma was his brother, the eldest son of the Daimyo of the Mountain Country and the first heir of the Daimyo.
The cause of the incident was also that Yun Ren coveted the alien beast Lei Xiao sealed in the country of mountains, so he hooked up with the second son of the daimyo to help him usurp the position of the daimyo with the alien beast as a reward.
The long knife that the former daimyo stored in Konoha is not a sign of the inheritance of the daimyō, but only a prop used to open the seal.
The second prince sent a task in Konoha in the name of recovering the stored evidence of the daimyo's enthronement.
Later, Yun Ren found out that only the eldest son of each daimyo could open the seal, and was urged by the second prince to kill his brother, otherwise he would expose the threat of cooperation, and was naturally killed by Yun Ren, and Yun Ren then found the eldest prince to continue to seek foreign beasts.
The soul of the younger brother control like a law also happened to the eldest prince.
Even if his brother wants to kill him, the man who is still full of desire to avenge him can only make false promises. During this period, it happened that Tianma exterminated the two teams of Yun Ren, and it was known to Yun Ren for the first time, and Yun Ren, who wanted to carry out the task in a low-key manner, was suddenly full of anger, and his murderous intent stood up, so he set a trap with the man.
So the reason why the man didn't force Tenma to help when he received Tenma was the same, but he did want Tenma to have a conflict with Yunnin.
The man was also unable to tell the true truth because of the spy of Yun Ren lurking around him.
The next development of things is the encounter and crisis of Tenma, as for the existence of Yun Shinobi's first knowledge of the destruction of his companions and the decapitation technique in Tenma's heart, it is only because there are two twin ninjas in the team.
The two twins have strange senses, and one of the people killed by Pegasus conveys some rare information in a form that ordinary people can't understand before they die......
"So, that's ......," Tenma smiled bitterly as he opened his eyes. Asking for help? ”
