Chapter 253: Butterfly Soul
A quirky room, no TV stand, no speakers, no sofa, nothing we usually do. On the ground paved with straw mats, there are several mats, on one side of the house, there are Japanese-style knife holders and armor, and a rope with a hook hangs from the roof, and on the hook, there is a pot, and under the pot, there is the only ground in the house without straw mats, which looks like a fire pit. It shouldn't be said to be like, it should be said that it is just a fire pond, and there is a fire in it, and the pot is constantly wafting out of the steam, is it cooking something?
By the fire, a man in a loose kimono sat on his knees, gently stroking a Japanese knife that had been cut in half.
With a "brush", the paper door of the room was opened, and a woman walked in with a knife in her hand and knelt in front of the man. "Husband, is your knife broken again?" The woman's voice was gentle, quiet, and natural, but her appearance really made me hard to believe that she was the woman I knew.
Return to the butterfly, Saito to return to the butterfly! It's just that the butterfly in front of her is not as bloody and charming as before, just a beautiful, elegant, dignified and handsome woman. Perhaps, this is who she is. Strangely, she was speaking in Japanese, but I could understand what it meant.
"No way, there is no shortage of famous knives in this world, and I have a few in my hand, but although the knives are sharp, they lack toughness, and when they rush to kill on the battlefield, as long as they are not careful, they will become like this." The man put the broken knife back into its scabbard and sighed leisurely. "It would be nice if I also had a divine sword with a snake spirit like the legendary Tiancong Cloud Sword, it is said that it has a weapon of the machine spirit, which is particularly strong and can protect the master. Hehe, it's a pity, this can only be a child's idea. β
Gui Die's expression has not changed, he is still dignified and relaxed, but the words that come out of his mouth make me feel a little untasteful. "When the husband subdued Mino, what he needed was Guidie's wisdom and mediation, and now, if the husband wants to conquer the world, what he needs is Guidie's life and soul?" Gui Die, who was kneeling, picked up the knife she brought in, the scabbard and the hilt were extremely familiar, and it was Miaofa Qiangomuramasa.
"Nonghime, don't be joking, my husband just said it casually, do you still want to take it seriously?" The man smiled and raised the wine glass on the small table in front of him, and drank the wine in it in one gulp, "Conquer the world, after all, it doesn't depend on my sword alone, even if it is broken, you can replace it with a new one." β
"The sword is the life of the samurai, this is the sword made by the Sezhou craftsman Sengomura that Guidie found, and the entire "Myoho-renge-kyo" is engraved on it, hoping that this knife can protect Guidie's beloved husband on the battlefield with Guidie." Gui Die said, and he actually pulled out the Miaofa Thousand Five Muramasa. Put the tip of the knife against your stomach. "Husband, you want to let Guidie see your world." With a "poof", the beautiful woman named Saito Guidie actually inserted Muramasa into half of her body, and the tip of the knife even showed through her back, and the cherry-colored kimono was suddenly dyed bright red with her blood.
"Return to the butterfly! You! Why are you so stupid! The man jerked himself up from the ground, drew the broken knife, and walked over to Gui Die's side. I could see his body trembling, tears overflowing from his eyes. "I, I'm just, I'm just a joke, you ......" He raised the broken knife and aimed it at Guidie's neck. This is a little different from what we usually see. However, raising a knife and looking at his wife's neck is not necessarily a sin. What a man wants to do, called a memorial mistake, is to cut off the head of a person who has a disembowelment in order to reduce their suffering.
"Nope! Husband, I, I don't need to make mistakes! As he spoke, Gui Die pulled the knife sideways hard, turning the wound into an existence that could not be done even with modern medical skills. You, you've said before, you want, you want a knife like that. I, I asked the best swordsmiths in Owari Province, and they said that if there is one person who willingly cuts his abdomen with a knife and gives all his thoughts and lives to that knife, he will have a soul. I, I hope, I hope that my husband can take this sword, go to Luo, and sit on the throne of the general of Zhengyi, and become, become, become a person in the world. Gui Die, Gui Die is willing to use everything I have to accompany my husband and complete the road of the world......"
The beautiful eyes closed and passed away.
A tear fell on the woman's hand holding the knife, and the man knelt there and roared, "Gui Die, even if I become a demon king, I will show you this road to the world!" β
It was dark again, there was a dead silence, and I could only hear my heartbeat, and while looking at the portrait of Guidie, Asai City told me that this Guidie Lady was known as one of the three ladies of the Warring States period, and helped Oda Nobunaga obtain her hometown of Mino, and after that, she completely disappeared from the stage of history. Unexpectedly, I can't imagine that this Saito butterfly will disappear in this way, and it will live forever in this way. Is that man Oda Nobunaga? He is very happy to have such a woman who loves him at the end of everything. However, why is the butterfly I see not half elegant, but a strange kind of enchanting and charming? Perhaps, because of the killing, this knife was first held in the hands of Oda Nobunaga, then tossed and turned, and finally fell into the hands of Tsuchihara Kamezo, and in these long hundreds of years, how many people it has killed, I'm afraid no one knows. Poor woman, is she blinded by killing, so she has become like that?
"Now, you know what I am, right?" In the darkness, a voice came, and then, the woman in the cherry blossom kimono stepped out of the dark void in front of her, but one of her thighs was already exposed outside the kimono, and she was indescribably charming.
"That's right, I know, I'm even a little moved, but if you think that I will agree with your actions because of this, to kill people, to take some path in the world, you are too naΓ―ve." The sharp tip of the knife was plunged into the darkness under my feet, and I didn't know if there was ground here, but I just stuck it down, and it stood there. "Give up, return to the butterfly, the times are different, it is no longer the time to dominate the world by force, your dream, it's time to wake up."
"Dreams? It's not a dream, it's a responsibility. Gui Die's face suddenly became solemn, "This is the responsibility of picking up the people of the Miaofa Thousand Five Villages, the people of the world, the Miaofa Thousand Five Villages will only accompany the people of the world to fight until the last moment!" β
With the light sound of a knife entering the flesh, there was an unbearable sharp pain in my lower back, and I turned my head slightly to see that behind me was the man who had just wiped the broken knife in the room, and what he was holding in his hand was the Miaofa Sengo Muramasa that I had just inserted at my feet.
"If you can't fulfill this responsibility, then die." The corners of Guidie's mouth suddenly bloomed into a bright smile, "Either kill people and climb to the top of the world, or be killed and become a stepping stone for others." This is fate. β
"Just as a cool pool can fill all thirsty and needy, like a cold with fire, like a naked person with clothes, like a merchant with a master, like a son with a mother, like a ferryboat with a ferry, like a sick man with a doctor, like a lamp from darkness, like a treasure from the poor, like a king for the people, like a jak with the sea, like a torch to remove darkness, so can this Lotus Sutra be the same, it can free all beings from all suffering, from all sickness, and from all the bonds of birth and death." Just when I was thinking about whether I would fall under this ridiculous fate, a scripture suddenly sounded in this dark space, and the picture in front of me began to distort and blur, and Gui Die's beautiful face became strange, like an old witch in the Middle Ages. This scripture is familiar to me, and it is the "Myoho-renge-kyo" inscribed on the body of the Myoho Sengomura Masato, but who is reciting it? Could it be that Muramasa himself is chanting scriptures and fighting against his own instrument spirit sword soul?
No, no, I've heard this voice, I've heard this voice, and, more recently, the knife hurts, who is it, who is chanting, is it the person who came to save me?
The darkness in front of me turned into pieces of darkness in an instant, and what appeared in front of me was still the room where we were investigating, but the difference was that Yu Siyan was leaning against the wall with his bleeding arm at this time, and I did have a knife stuck in my stomach, that's right, it was my Mystic Thousand Five Muramasa. Little by little, the blood flowed down the blade, and next to me, a person was chanting the Myoho-renge-kyo
"I ...... What the hell is wrong with me? I don't know if I'm asking Yu Siyan or the people around me, but while asking, I turned my head to look. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that the person who kept chanting scriptures by my side and saved me from that dark world was not blind, not Bai Bing, not Master Mao, not Lu Wei, but the vice president of Owari Co., Ltd. - Moonlight Soharu, who I have been guarding against like a thief!
"Toad, you, have you regained your senses?" Yu Siyan said, as if she wanted to walk towards me, but as soon as she lifted her foot, her feet softened, and she fell to the ground, leaving an extremely dazzling bright red mark on the wall she had just leaned on.
"I, I'm fine, you, your injuries, serious?" I don't know how I said the phrase I'm fine, face-saving, or what? But I was really concerned about Yu Siyan's injury, and my intuition told me that the injury on her back was cut by me.
"It's all like this, and I said it's okay! It's good to wake up, Mr. Shen, I'll call the hospital's emergency number immediately! You, you and Miss Yu must hold on, we, we can't let those bastards of the extreme right organization get complacent! Moonlight Zongchun's tone was full of indignation, this trip to China cost him more than a dozen outstanding employees, and now, it was me and Yu Siyan again. Hehe, at this moment, I began to believe in him, believing in this handsome Japanese devil. Perhaps, what he said, the desire for peaceful exchange, is sincere......
