Chapter 66: The Test (Part 1)
Although everyone's speed was not slow, it took a few minutes to reach the courtyard wall next to the demon slayer.
The structure of the castle town has been clearly displayed in front of Yang Chong's eyes under this walk. Maybe it's because there are so many mountains, so sometimes it feels very inconvenient to walk, but if there are strange mountains on both sides that are not easy to climb, and the open space in them is large enough, it just so happens that a small mountain castle with natural defenses on both sides can be built like this.
Qibao walked along the courtyard wall of the Demon Exorcism and said, "The area around the Demon Removal Courtyard has been enchanted, so if someone wants to take a shortcut and climb in, they will definitely be punished and cause unnecessary trouble. ”
The little monk reacted: "Next to this is the Demon Removal Courtyard?" ”
Qibao rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Otherwise, what do you think?" ”
The little monk shook his head: "I thought this should be a place to garrison troops under the mountain city, if it is a regular army, it should be often taken out for drills, and everyone will not always be crowded inside." ”
"That kind of place should only be entered in an emergency." Yang Chong said, "That's what you want to say." ”
The little monk nodded when he heard this. Yang Chong saw Qibao and looked at the little monk again, and suddenly felt that although the weak little monk who had been acting before was tired of protecting himself, he was better than a person like Qibao who had no edge on his mouth. Unexpectedly, the little monk still knew some simple ways to use soldiers, and Yang Chong was quite surprised.
As soon as Qibao opened his mouth, he cried out "oops", and when the little monk subconsciously held Qibao, Yang Chong's hand also reached out to the straight knife wrapped in strips of cloth.
Around the corner, two armored servants were lying in front of them like two mountains, blocking the three of them.
The eyes and words in the helmet and mask that hit Shippo were as cold as his words: "The front is now closed to traffic!" ”
Qibao didn't care so much about yelling: "What are you guys doing, didn't you even apologize when you bumped into someone!" ”
The armor's face turned pale: "If it weren't for the fact that you are a mage, I would have killed you, the person who rudely rushed into me!" ”
A murderous aura rushed over, and Qibao and the little monk were forced to retreat.
Yang Chong grabbed the hand of the straight knife in front of the two of them, and his own momentum was just right to block the momentum of the armor, but he did not attack immediately, but watched a person with a high and floating body walking in front of the road.
The man was two meters tall, a heterogeneous among the people of Yingzhou, and this man had a dark red spike head tied in front like a cockscomb. After deliberately putting on a kimono, he stretched out an arm to show the muscles in his chest, and even if his arms were wrapped in strips of white cloth, he could not hide the terrifying oppression on his arms.
Yang Chong swept the other party's figure at a glance, and what he saw was the four knives behind him that deliberately had their handles unfolded together, but when he looked at the left waist, he found that the other two were also hung diagonally here, and the position held by his right hand was tied across the waist in reverse.
"Seven knives." Yang Chong counted the opponent's weapons clearly, and also saw that the length of the seven knives was different. And when he found that he felt the ups and downs of the momentum on his body, Yang Chong thought of the other two people he had seen with the same momentum before. One of them is Hattori Hanzo, and the other is Amitabhamaru, the curator of Hengdokan.
"Count you as acquaintances!" Seeing that Yang Chong didn't find fault, the armor squire turned around and left arrogantly after saying this.
Originally, Yang Chong was not going to do anything, but when he heard the other party's words, he secretly flicked his fingers and watched a tough rope in the gap in the armor on the other party's body being quietly corroded, so Yang Chong left with Qibao and the little monk.
Seeing that Qibao didn't even complain this time, Yang Chong guessed in his heart that Qibao probably knew who that person was, so he asked directly: "Do you know the person who passed by just now?" ”
Qibao was surprised and liked to think that Yang Chong was from Shenzhou, so he smiled bitterly: "That person is so powerful, he is the famous young man of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Yoshihiko, legend has it that he has already been able to go to the second layer, but he wants to find Oda Nobunaga and defeat it completely, so that the people of the Tokugawa family will have no trouble, so he has been looking for the people of the great demon king Oda Nobunaga to exterminate them." ”
"The Great Demon King." Yang Chong read it in a low voice and didn't say anything more.
To be able to make people like Qibao dare not scold a few words behind their backs, Tokugawa Yoshihiko is not simple.
Yang Chong didn't think it was embarrassing what happened just now, so he held back if he couldn't beat it, and when he could beat it later, he would kill him!
Turning his head and not walking a few steps, he saw a person with more complicated clothes who had not completely returned when he went out to send someone off, Yang Chong felt the strength set by the other party, and his eyes swept over the extra things on his body one by one, and he was a little surprised.
The person in front of him turned out to be a swordsman level again, and he was replaced by an onmyoji, that is, a demon exorcist-level character to send off the guest!
It seems that I was really in a remote mountainous area before, and it is rare to see a slightly stronger one. But now it's really crazy to see all kinds of strong people. This Xiaoju Mountain City is only a relatively small one among more than a hundred mountain cities, and it can even let itself see a sword hero level, and when you pass by, you will see a sword hero level, and you will soon go to see the demon slayer level powerhouse who can be called a strategic weapon in the Onmyoji.
Suppressing the boiling blood in his heart, Yang Chong felt that he had really come to the right place. He didn't feel that he was worse, but he didn't have existed for as long as they were, and he just waited for him to become proficient in the Quick Attack Dao next, and then he would fuse all the six forms of Buddhism and Dao to fight, and surpassing these people was just around the corner!
Thinking that he might even break through the second turn this time, Yang Chong's excited heartbeat accelerated a little.
But when the exorcist in front of him saw Yang Chong's appearance after seeing Yang Chong, he thought that he was excited to be able to join them, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"I'm not sure yet, but if you want to join, you have to prove yourself."
Hearing this, Qibao was immediately a little unhappy: "Daddy Ryu, Mr. Tachibana Youkyo has already recognized Mr. Kuroxia, what else do you need to test?" ”
Hearing this, the shiny bald father shook his head, pulled the shawl robe on his body, pinched the rosary and said unhurriedly: "This is our rule in Takano, if you want to join, no matter how high your status is, you need to go through our test." ”
Shippo said, "But I didn't test ...... at the beginning."
Ryū's father pouted: "So we delayed you, you are really not suitable for learning Yin and Yang Arts." However, that was a decision that had already been made at the beginning, and the new people who joined were not the same as our relatives who had been in Takano since childhood. ”
Qibao was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Daddy Ryu, how do you like to be angry with me, what do you mean that I am not suitable, I just don't have the heart, and when I study hard, I will also be the dean of the demon exterminator established by me in other newly established mountain cities!" ”
In the Demon Slayer Academy, only a strong person at the level of a Demon Slayer can be the dean, hearing Qibao's words, Father Ryu shook his head.
"Forget it, it's always good to have some dreams. Come with me, in fact, the test is not very difficult, ordinary people can pass, it depends on whether you can learn some spells, even if you are super strong, if you can't effectively use spells to control different degrees of demons, your strength will not be strong at best. ”
The bald-headed exorcist walked as if he was floating, and Yang Chong could feel that the other party seemed to be deliberately keeping himself in a special state, which was probably a way to train whether the energy could last.
In addition, Yang Chong did not see the dean in this demon extermination courtyard according to Qibao's words, that is, he was taken to a special courtyard.
The big courtyards here were one after another, and Yang Chong passed by and saw a lot of people who might be injured or simply sitting there, these guys who had no image were the onmyoji respected by the civilians outside. However, Yang Chong didn't mean to despise it, shouldn't the onmyoji be like this, the evil ghosts outside are so fierce, how many people can be chic?
While Yang Chong was still looking around, Father Ryu, the exorcist who had already entered the room, took a scroll that was placed under the eaves next to him.
"Here, this is a copy of the Yin-Yang technique that our Onmyoji contacted, you can take a look at it and try it, if you don't understand something, just ask me, after the first five are experimented, you can see your ......"
Daddy Ryu was talking unhurriedly, and Yang Chong, who had already opened the scroll, started reading from the first one.
In an instant, Yang Chong felt as if he had returned to the tomb of the pharaoh in Egypt, and when he was desperate, he found that he only needed to pronounce it, and the force in his body would start to work on its own.
At this time, as soon as Yang Chong's words fell, he felt that a ball of light floating in front of him could be released at any time.
Daddy Ryu stared at Yang Chong as he grabbed the ball of light with his hand, as if he had casually picked up an inconspicuous crystal ball. For a while, Daddy Ryu wanted to open his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, like a chicken and duck that had been grabbed by the neck, and the screams and shouts were held in his throat and couldn't spit out.
Qibao exclaimed on the spot, "How can you start reading it backwards!" ”
"Stupid! Isn't it there to be surprised! Father Ryu only reacted at this time, "Yes, you can pass it at one time, presumably when you were in Shenzhou, you were already an onmyoji, I heard that the onmyoji in Shenzhou is very powerful, very good, it seems that you have the qualifications to become an onmyoji, so next, you have to prove yourself." ”
When Ryū Daddy was surprised, Shippo also took out a scroll from his body, and then his left hand was raised high and shook suddenly, and the scroll fell to the right hand that was below the right, and at the same time, Shippo's left hand suddenly seemed to be holding the scroll and falling towards the right hand, and the scroll slowly approached the right hand in the opposite direction.
Qibao proudly introduced to the little monk: "See, if we have already used the scroll, the next time we look at it, we will first turn the scroll over like this, and then look at it slowly." ”
Interrupted by Qibao's rhythm of speaking, Father Ryu rubbed his eyes with a headache, and said again: "What I said just now may be a little fast, what you just recited is the simplest psionic energy display spell, this psionic energy is gathered in a way that is not an attack but a show, if the faster and more condensed it is, the better it proves your talent." ”
However, when Daddy Ryu saw Yang Chong scatter the ball of dark spiritual energy in his hand, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Why is your spiritual energy pure black, although everyone's spiritual energy shows different attributes, but the common five are probably golden, wind green, water blue, fiery red and earth brown." ”
Qibao added to the little monk in a low voice, "Golden spiritual energy can bring hardness. Wind green psionic energy can increase speed. Aqua blue psionic energy amplifies healing power. The fiery red psionic energy can make attacks more explosive. Earthy brown psionic energy can draw on the power of many demons from underground. ”
Ryū nodded: "Yes, but it's the first time we've seen a pure black one, maybe we haven't noticed it before." ”
Yang Chong was not too surprised, his Force was dark, and this method of condensation only made these colors more conspicuous than others, and it was impossible for his Dark Force to be like a rainbow.
No one could study this issue in depth, so the bald-headed exorcist finished arranging Yang Chong after calming down.
In fact, the abilities of the onmyoji are all the same, whether they use Shishen or pure yin-yang techniques, in the end, they still use energy to restrain evil spirits.
In this way, it is simply a manifestation of the extent to which the energy can limit the evil spirit, even if it may not be able to defeat the evil spirit, but as long as the restriction work is done well, it can still allow the slightly inferior people to follow up and kill the evil spirit.
Therefore, Yang Chong's task is to bring a fair person, and then find the evil ghost to restrain the other party, and how powerful the restriction can be, even if it is powerful.
Hearing this stupid method that made people speechless, Yang Chong was really a little helpless, and wanted to experiment, but the result was that he still had to learn the ghost pulling technique that restricted the evil ghosts first, that is to say, don't think about going to Satokono to report for the time being, just practice the yin and yang technique for a few days first. Coincidentally, you can also train these with the Rapid Attack Path.
However, it is not so simple for Yang Chong to directly get the ghost pulling technique here to train, because he is an outsider, unlike the children who grew up here, if an outsider wants to learn even the simplest ghost pulling technique, he has to pay a price, and he can't pass it on, otherwise he will be hunted down by Li Gaoye.
I have to say that Shippo is always embarrassed by others, in fact, it will also embarrass others.
Before Yang Chong could ask who was being hunted down and killed, Qibao had already said the name of the person who still existed and was not hunted down.
The Great Demon King, Oda Nobunaga.
Qibao also said that Oda Nobunaga has a million soldiers, and almost all the demons on the first layer of the entire Huangquan Dao can be controlled by the other party, but they haven't seen it for a long time, and it seems that they are going to the second layer to fight the world.
Yang Chong wanted to ask Oda Nobunaga what was going on a long time ago, but when he heard that the exorcist's Ryu father had something to leave, Yang Chong could only follow the rules.
The rule is that at present, he uses tens of thousands of evolution points to change the seal soldier-level demon first, and when he succeeds, he will have the title of mage, and then continue to exchange warriors and sword swordsmen.
The price and method of this kind of exchange are relatively loss-making for Yang Chong, but thinking that when he fights with the evil ghosts, he can have one more way to restrict them, which is better than going up empty-handed, Yang Chong can only pinch his nose and admit it.
Seeing Ryu's father leave in a hurry, Yang Chong also went directly to Mingjia, who was usually more idle, to be his witness. As for Qibao, let alone Daddy Ryu, Yang Chong didn't believe him.
