A wave of anger surged in his heart, Chen Sheng's eyebrows raised, and he was about to open his mouth to scold. But suddenly, I could only hear the soft sound of "Huh~", and in the utility room, there was a flash of rare electricity. Then, the light projection showed that the village chief had stopped moving, and stood up, raising his arm to look at his hand.

Through the paper door, Chen Sheng couldn't see clearly what kind of expression he was. However, in the next moment, a terrible scream was already heard. The village chief turned around, opened the door to the utility room, and fled with his hands and feet. Although he only had a glimpse, Chen Sheng could already see it clearly. Most of the village chief's right hand has been neatly cut off.

In his eyes, he couldn't help but show surprise. Chen Sheng stepped out of the shadows and walked closer to the utility room. In the dim light, I saw that the blind musician had already taken off his coat and hat and put it aside. The clothes on his body were full of holes and rags. But even so, she still can't hide her delicate appearance, and she still has a good figure comparable to Su Ziling. However, the light cast on her wide open eyes did not reflect half of the light.

The blind woman clasped her legs together and clutched her cane tightly in her arms. No. That's not a cane. Because Chen Sheng could faintly smell it, a trace of blood was coming from inside the cane. It was a knife, a knife in a staff hidden in a cane.

Chen Sheng took a deep breath and said, "You cut off that person's hand?" ”

"I don't know...... What did I get? Because, I can't see. The voice was as cold as the rain, so calm that it made one wonder if she really had such a thing as "feelings".

Chen Sheng shook his head and asked, "What's your name?" ”

She grabbed her staff and knife and whispered, "City." Humblehead...... City. ”

The screams of the village chief, whose voice was heard in the middle of the night, were particularly thrilling when heard by the severed palms. Suddenly, almost everyone in the house woke up. In a moment, five or six torches were raised at the same time, and the flickering light of the fire illuminated the surroundings.

Under the firelight, I saw several strong men surrounding the injured village chief, rushing over violently. The unsheathed broadsword in his hand shone brightly. Although it is not a divine weapon, it also has a fierce and vicious aura.

Although Zenko-ji Temple is said to be not governed by any of the princes and samurai, it is located near the island of Kawanakajima, and there are frequent wars for many years. As a result, the men of the nearby villages were often hired by the warring princes to fight. The village chief's status was not a formal samurai, but he was called a "ground servant", which was higher than that of ordinary "ashigaru" soldiers. If you enlist in the army, you can be a head of about ten people under your command. And those ten ashigaru are the troops that this village can afford.

In a hurry, I found less than all ten people to come over, but there were also five or six ashigaru gathered here. The strong man who was the leader was the brother of the village chief and had learned the New Yin Stream swordsmanship. With these swordsmanship and physical strength, he once cut off the heads of several official samurai of the Takeda family on the battlefield. After being trained by him, the following ashigaru are also brave, and they are famous elite soldiers in several nearby villages. Relying on these liliang, at this moment, the village chief shouted angrily: "Blind mother-in-law, get out!" I kindly took you in, a beggar, but you shamelessly seduced me, and tried to make money and kill me? Get out of here! ”

"Huh~" There was a soft sound, the door of the utility room was opened, and a figure appeared in the firelight, raising his eyes and scanning the group of strong men in front of him at random. Although his expression was calm and he did not say a word, in an instant, everyone felt that a boulder had weighed heavily in their hearts, and it was even difficult to breathe. The original voice of babbling and scolding was quiet.

"Huh~ What's the matter? What happened? "The person who spoke was Pu Guanshui. He draped his coat over his shoulders and walked in separately from the crowd. Behind him was Su Ziling, who was still sleepy. When the village chief saw the two of them, he immediately knelt down on his knees and raised his palm, which had been cut off in the middle. He cried out, "Master Samurai, you have to make decisions for the little one." Then he added fuel and vinegar, and told him what had just happened. Of course, he would never say that he intended to rape the blind girl, so he was stabbed. only said that he was kind enough to give something to the blind girl to eat, but the blind girl took revenge and wanted to make money and kill her.

Pu Guanshui frowned again and again when he heard this. In ancient incantations, there is the spell "Lie Perception", which allows the caster to tell if what they are hearing is a lie or not. But at this moment, even if he didn't use any spells, just by observing words and colors, he could already be sure that the village chief was reversing black and white.

You know, when Pu Guanshui first entered "Rhode Island", he was mixed with Mamo on the Dark Island for a long time. In addition to all kinds of demons and monsters, there are only all kinds of liars, thieves, robbers, and villains on that island. It can be said that regardless of men, women and children, almost all of them are scum. In that kind of place, if you can't even distinguish the truth and falsehood of the other party's words, your life will be lost a long time ago, where is the chance to unify Rhode Island and become the "Demon Sword King"?

Compared to the scum scum of Mamo, this village chief is as pure as an angel, and his lying skills are even more rudimentary than that of a child. If even such a person Pu Guanshui still had to use magic to distinguish the truth of his words, then wouldn't he be in vain in the Infinite God Domain? But...... There is still a suspicion about the matter. That is: Was the village chief's palm cut off by the blind girl?

Thinking of this, Pu Guanshui subconsciously set his eyes on Chen Sheng. And all he saw was a slight nodding motion. Pu Guanshui immediately knew it. He sneered, interrupted the village chief's chatter, and shouted, "Enough." ”

The king who unifies the entire Rhodes Island and rises above a million people will naturally have the majesty of being the king. This majesty is deeply hidden on weekdays, and few people can feel it. However, once the "Demon Sword King" releases it, the pressure on others will also be extremely strong. To confront it, only great princes like Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen could do it. How can a few villagers in a remote mountain village resist it? In an instant, including the village chief, all the strong men trembled and sat down directly to the ground.

Pu Guanshui's eyes were calm, and he said coldly: "Village chief, what you have done yourself, you know it in your heart, so you don't need others to remind you." Since this is the case, then you will end up like this, and you will suffer it yourself, and there is nothing to complain about. Hurry up and get out of here with these people. Otherwise, you'll lose more than just one palm. ”

On the village chief's side, in addition to himself, the wounded, there were seven other people, all of whom had been on the battlefield. On the Sword Shadow Demon Trace team, there are only three people. Compared with the number of the two sides, it was the village chief's side that had an absolute advantage. But if one side is a lion and a tiger, and the other is a rat at best, the comparison of numbers is meaningless here. No matter how much resentment and unwillingness he felt in his heart, the village chief did not dare to disobey Pu Guanshui's order, so he had to swallow his anger and leave with his brothers.

Pu Guanshui yawned and said, "What a group of gutless bandits. Bored. Then Lao Chen, I'll leave it to you to deal with the aftermath here. I'm going back to get some more sleep. Shrugging his shoulders, the "Demon Sword King", who had completely reined in the sense of royal majesty just now, was not even interested in looking at the blind girl in the utility room for a long time, and walked away.

Su Ziling was also sleepy-eyed. Seeing that the matter had been resolved, he didn't even ask anything, and said "good night" to Chen Sheng in a daze, and went back like sleepwalking.

Chen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the utility room. I saw a blind girl who called herself "Zatoichi", and from beginning to end, she turned a blind eye to all this. Just clinging to his cane. In that dark shijie, everything seems so unreal. Perhaps for her, only the cold blade hidden in this cane is the only truth. It is also the only one she can rely on.

Recalling the shamisen played by the blind girl, coupled with the name "Ichi", pity and sympathy can't help but grow from the bottom of my heart. Chen Sheng shook his head, took out two pieces of bread and a can of milk from the private storage space, opened the package and put it in front of the blind girl, then closed the door casually, and left without looking back.

During the whole process, Chen Sheng did not speak again. He didn't do it for the sake of gratitude.

Even though she is blind, the girl's sense of hearing and smell is more sensitive because of this. So she knew that everyone had left. And the reason why the man who had his palm cut off by his own knife no longer came to trouble him was because he was afraid of the person who asked for his name just now. Moreover, the person also put down something.

The aroma she smelled at the end of her nose let her know that it was food. When he hesitated to pick up the bread and take the first bite, the sweet and fluffy feeling suddenly turned into a warm current and filled the blind girl's chest. Then it turned into hot tears, which flowed endlessly, wetting the placket of her clothes. But despite this, the girl's face is always as calm as an ancient well. And in those beautiful eyes, there has never been a trace of light.

Inside the house of the head of Nanase Village, everything is calm again. However, outside the house, this sudden wind and rain is getting heavier and heavier. Dense raindrops the size of soybeans covered the sky and bombarded the earth mercilessly. The violent wind roared and roared, and at first glance, it sounded like all ghosts crying together. In such bad weather, both ordinary people and samurai lords would only stay at home to avoid the rain. Even if you are a fool, you will never go out and run around at this time. However...... There is only one person, a group of people who claim to be the head of the gods and the sect of ten thousand Buddhas, is an exception!
