Iai, a technique in Japanese swordsmanship that instantly draws a sword and slashes an enemy. Those who are familiar with kendo believe that they have heard a little about Iai slashing, which is a sword technique that can be drawn in an instant without giving the enemy a gap, and thus defeating the enemy. When I was a child, I liked to watch Japanese anime, especially the swordsmen in anime, so I specially pestered my father to take me to visit and study in Japanese kendo gyms.

At this time, the evil spirit in front of me had completely stopped, and a circle of light appeared on its neck, and the evil spirit was already full of horror at this time.

"You..."

When it barely made a sound, the circle of light on its neck slowly thickened, and then spread to its entire body, and with a "bang" it turned into a point of light and slowly drifted away...

This is the first time I've officially fought an evil spirit, and if I hadn't learned the mystery of Iai's slash at the last minute, I'm probably the one who will be killed.

"Bang!"

As the evil spirit was destroyed, my whole body also collapsed, at this time I realized that my hands were trembling unconsciously, just a series of high-intensity battles brought a lot of load to my body, at this moment I felt weak, almost no strength to stand up...

"You... Are you alright?"

The female spirit who had just been rescued by me saw me fall, and hurriedly ran over to help me up and sit on her, to my surprise, she actually had body temperature, I thought that all the spirits were cold, and they were quite soft...

"Ahem..."

I hurriedly stopped thinking about it, and then I had the opportunity to take a good look at this female spirit, the female spirit was very delicate, not very beautiful, and after transforming into human form at this moment, everything was so real, as if it was no different from a normal human being.

The female spirit noticed that I was staring at her, lowered her head embarrassedly, and asked, "Thank you... Thank you... You... Not... Didn't get hurt, did you?"

I don't know what's wrong, looking at her embarrassed appearance now, it seems to give me a familiar feeling, but before today, I hadn't been in contact with too many spirits, so I didn't think much about it, and replied, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, I should be fine after a while." ”

"Oh... Oh. ”

The female spirit didn't say anything more, but silently adjusted her posture to make me lean more comfortably. Feeling the warmth and comfort coming from behind, I was also a little embarrassed, after all, I am a big man, relying on a girl, even if the girl in front of me is not really an ordinary girl, but I don't feel too suitable, after this short period of adjustment, I feel that I have recovered some strength, so I struggled to get up and said to her: "I'm fine, you see, I only need to slow down a little and I will be able to live immediately." ”

As I spoke, I reached out and patted my chest, but the pain in my chest made me cough again.

"Hee-hee..."

Looking at my clumsy performance, the female spirit actually pursed her lips and snickered, I had to scratch my head in embarrassment at this time, it seems that there is no good end for being strong...

Just when I was a little overwhelmed, I suddenly noticed something unusual. Because the surrounding alleys, nightclubs, and bustling neighborhoods are gone, I am back on the karmic ladder again, and the female spirits around me don't notice anything unusual, and still look at me with concern.

"Wasn't we in a small alley just now?" I asked the female spirit beside me, confused.

The female spirit was a little confused by my question, and replied, "No, we have been here all along." ”

Odd...

Forget it, looking at the female spirit like this, I definitely can't ask anything, the recent series of events have made me a little numb, now that I have returned to the ladder, then I still decided to continue to climb my ladder and strive to reach the top as soon as possible. So I asked the female spirit, "Okay, you are not in any danger now, I am going to continue to go up, what about you?"

"I... I can accompany... Do you want to go up with you?"

"Yes, yes, but this ladder is really not ordinarily long, I climbed for a long time in front, and I don't know if I climbed halfway..."

Seeing that I didn't reject her, the female spirit seemed to be quite happy, and hurriedly said, "I... I can. ”

As she spoke, I saw that her form began to change, and after a while, she changed back to that green light, fluttering up and down around me.

"Uh... I forgot that you still have this form, so it's a lot easier for you, okay, let's go!"

The ball of light fluttered up and down in front of me, presumably in agreement, so I pinned the sword to my waist again, turned around and continued to climb to the top of the mountain.

After a vicious battle before, at first I was actually quite worried about my physical strength, originally I thought that I might not be able to climb for a long time and have to rest for a while, but what I didn't expect was that in addition to the faint pain in the mouth of the tiger in my hands can also remind me of what accidents I had experienced before, my physical strength is surprisingly good at the moment, and this climb is more than 2 hours...

"Whew..."

I looked up again in the direction of the top of the mountain, to my delight, I can already see the top of the mountain at this moment, I feel that it should be there in another 1 hour at most, I looked back at the female spirit floating beside me, she is still floating easily, I really envy their ability.

The breeze blew, I opened my arms to enjoy the breeze, stretched my waist hard, and the hard work paid off, finally arrived!

I looked around, and the top of the hill was very flat and very wide, and if I hadn't just climbed up the ladder, I would have thought it was flat ground.

Looking up at the top of my head, the reflection above was already clearly visible, the top of the mountain, the ladder, as if I continued to follow the scene above my head, and I could return to the bottom of the mountain. Through the reflection, I could see that not far ahead, over a small hill, there was an antique five-story pagoda, which seemed to be the destination of my trip, so I collected my mood and walked towards the pagoda.

I really came to the front before I felt the grandeur of this pagoda, although the area is not very large, but very high, the 5-story pagoda is almost as high as a 10-story building, if it is not a mirror-like scene overhead, this pagoda can really give people a feeling of towering into the sky.

At this time, the female spirit who had been following me changed her form again, changed back into the image of a woman, and said to me, "Brother Lin, congratulations on completing the second test of the president. ”

Well, that's it? Wait, Brother Lin, I didn't seem to tell her my name just now, right...
