Chapter Forty-Eight: Cooperation with the Ghost Slayer
The next day, the Ghost Slayer team took Genichiro with them and left early.
First, I came to catch the train to Tokyo at 10 o'clock, which is still a short distance from the nearest city.
Second, it is to avoid being surrounded by radical villagers.
But only Koichiro knows that as long as the Ghost Slayer is gone, no one will protect the village.
What awaits the new Shangquan Village is even more intense uneasiness and fear, as well as unbearable torture.
The Eagles will be a nightmare for their night, and the drama will never end unless the vast majority of the villagers move from here.
Even if they went to ask for the ghost slayer team again, it would be useless.
Compared with man-eating ghosts similar to monsters, Feng Phantom, which can't be killed and can't be driven away, is closer to a real ghost.
Without the Flying Divine Paper, no matter how high the swordsmanship is, there is no way to take them.
Railway station.
After sending a letter to Kuro with the Ghost Slayer's crow, Ichiro follows them into the car.
To his surprise, it seemed as if the crows had a map of Japan in their heads.
Knowing only the location of the message, it proudly promised to deliver the letter, as if it were just an easy task.
You know, a normal carrier pigeon is just a back and forth between two fixed locations.
I don't know how such a wise bird was cultivated.
It's even more magical than the monkeys in the Bodhisattva Valley.
"It's nothing, when they go back to the Demon Slayer, they'll still speak ill of the swordsmen."
Butterfly Chanae said so at the time.
"However, in the entire Demon Slayer Team, only the sound pillar who used to be a ninja can barely understand the communication between the crows."
Ichiro was dumbfounded, and wanted the Lone Shadow to try to see if they could raise similar birds.
The next few people were lucky, although the ticket bought the last section of the car, there was no one in it at all, and it was very empty.
Kumamoto's local Hidebu did not get on the bus, and the Tokyo Hidebu, who was in charge of picking up the wounded, would be waiting at the finish line.
When he sat down, Minoru Immortal wanted to sit directly next to Genichiro, but the latter was quick and pulled Murata to sit down.
"You're the hardest injured here."
Genichiro pointed to the strap on his ribs, looked at the butterfly Chanae on the opposite side and said, "You should sit next to Miss Chane, and if there is anything uncomfortable on the way, let her see it in time." ”
Butterfly Chanae smiled and nodded.
"Little Brother Genichiro has a point. If Mr. Immortal Chuan has anything uncomfortable, he is not allowed to hide it. ”
Immortal Chuan was embarrassed, and his neck stiffened as he looked at the other vacant seats.
"No need. I found a place to sit again. ”
As he spoke, he was about to turn around.
"Isn't it true that Mr. Immortal River hates me very much?"
Butterfly Chane's voice came, and it seemed to be a little aggrieved.
But Koichiro could tell at a glance that she was putting on makeup.
With his spiritual vision, he could almost see the teasing color under the eyes of the flower pillar.
Maybe it's just looking at the essence through the phenomenon.
"Is there something I'm not doing well enough that makes you feel like it's a nuisance to be around me?"
"No, it's not ......"
When Immortal Chuan saw Butterfly Chane's aggrieved look, his heart suddenly panicked, and the scars on his face softened a lot.
It's annoying, it's annoying, but it's not the kind of annoyance that disgusts.
It's a kind of ......
It's confusing, but I want to do it again.
Immortal Sichuan's barren vocabulary really can't describe his mood.
"In that case, Mr. Immortal Chuan, you should be more gregarious."
"I don't want to see you become a second Tomioka-san after you become a pillar."
Butterfly Chanae patted the seat next to her again, and a certain white hedgehog had to sit down reluctantly, and specially moved some out. The outer edge of his right thigh remained outside the seat, as if the flower pillar was a beast that could not be too close.
Although he doesn't know who Tomioka is, he subconsciously doesn't want to be the other person.
Murata and Ichiro sighed at the same time when he saw this.
[The one who was pinched to death, the immortal river. 】
Immortal Chuan raised his eyebrows, and just wanted to say something disrespectful to the two, but Butterfly Chanae took out the food box that Genichiro had given her before, and slowly pushed it down in front of Immortal Chuan.
"It's just for you."
She gently lifted the lid of the snack box, revealing three red snacks that glittered inside.
"This is a hard-to-find glowing peony cake, as a thank you for protecting me last night."
Because the temperature is already very low in winter, the quality of the food box is high, and the shelf life of the luminous rice itself is still very long, although two days have passed, when you open the lid, these snacks still exude an attractive and rich fragrance.
Although Immortal Chuan had already eaten something in the morning, his eyes suddenly lit up when he smelled the gluttonous red bean smell in the peony cake.
"Benda...... I'm just looking at those people unpleasantly. ”
While talking insincerely about the reason for the flower pillar, he picked up a piece of peony cake and put it in front of him, and asked curiously: "But why does this peony cake shine?" ”
"I'm going to ask Ichiro's little brother."
Butterfly Chanae laughed, "What about this thing that Ichiro gave me?" ”
"Oh?"
The attention of several people shifted to Genichiro.
Ichiro took a deep look at Butterfly Chane.
This woman is smart.
I want to ask him where he came from, but I don't want to ask questions myself.
So she borrowed the matter of snacks to deliberately arouse the interest of Immortal Chuan.
After all, with Immortal Chuan's straightforward personality, it doesn't seem like asking any questions deliberately, but rather satisfying curiosity.
However, this also plays into the hands of Ichiro Chorus.
The ghost killing team was originally a spare seedbed for him to brush up his reputation next.
You must know that the prestige provided to him by a member of the Hidden Force alone is 25 times that of an ordinary person.
The prestige points provided by Yu Marrow Tianyuan, Hua Zhu and Immortal River are all starting at 500 and temporarily capping at 2500, so it is unclear whether it will be better.
You know, the reputation provided by the emperor is only 100 times that of ordinary people.
And one pillar is equivalent to 5 emperors.
It is enough to see that the ghost killing team is the real big dog.
And the ghost killing team has a master up and down, not to mention nine pillars, from the team members to the logistics to the knife makers, there are thousands of people.
Therefore, often brushing the prestige of the ghost killing team, isn't this more profitable than trying to find a way to make big news?
So Genichiro plans to do a two-pronged approach, to do news, and to strengthen ties with the ghost killing team.
After all, he estimated that every high-level lottery in the future would cost more prestige.
He just didn't know whether the lottery cost was doubled or added to the 100,000 equal series.
"Speaking of which, the surname is Reed."
As expected, Immortal Chuan really asked, "I wanted to say it a long time ago, who are you?" Why can you come up with so many strange things, your grandfather and teacher, one by one, like the ancients? “
"Ancient people?"
Butterfly Chana asked suspiciously.
Her main curiosity is the reason why Ichiro took out a knife out of thin air, and why he had a magic drug with a ninja following.
Immortal Chuan said this, she didn't know about it.
So Immortal Chuan recounted the details of the battle with the fourth of the lower strings, and the butterflies Chanae and Murata were surprised.
Especially when she heard that Reeda almost slashed the immortal river to death with a single sword, and was able to directly set off a huge wave of flames a few meters away, Butterfly Chanae even covered her mouth directly.
"I didn't expect that there are such powerful people in the world besides the rock pillars!"
[Gain 500 reputation points from Hanazhu Butterfly Chane]
She first praised a reed name Yixin, and did not forget to hold a handful of Xian Ichiro, "No wonder Xian Ichiro is so powerful at a young age, it turns out that your grandfather is a swordsman." ”
In this way, the previous doubts about the location of the calluses on Koichiro's hands can be answered.
"I still can't explain why they're dressed so strangely!"
Immortal Chuan ate the peony cake and didn't forget to interject, "The armor worn by the horseback riding uncle has only been seen in the mourning hall where the ghost killing team is enshrined, and it looks like a very old thing." ”
"I'm curious about that, too."
Hanazhu took the opportunity to smile and asked, "Genichiro, where are you talking about the name of Reed?" Why, I never see this name in a book? ”
Her tone was not the slightest question, but rather like a history buff trying to satisfy his curiosity.
[It's coming.] 】
[With so much foreshadowing, you just want to ask this question. 】
[What a smart woman.] 】
[And completely restrain the reckless man of Immortal Chuan.] 】
Glancing at the Immortal River with some pity, Genichiro finally gave the answer that had been made up a long time ago.
"Anyway, we are already born and died together, so I'll tell you something."
Ichiro paused.
"Have you heard of Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring"?"
Tao Yuanming still has a lot of fans in Japan.
"Nope." x2
This is Minoru Kawa and Murata. But that's not what Ichiro expected.
"I've heard of it."
This is Butterfly Chanae, who is proficient in poetry, piano, calligraphy and painting.
So, she had to tell the story of the Peach Blossom Spring to the two illiterate people, and the immortal Chuan suddenly realized and said: "So you mean, the name of the reed is equivalent to the peach blossom source in Japan?" So, we don't know about the existence of this place? ”
"That's about it."
Ichiro nodded.
"During the Warring States period, there was great chaos in Japan. In order to prevent Ashina from being affected by the war, Miko cast a spell to isolate Ashina from the outside world and become a small hidden country. ”
"It is for this reason that we reed celebrities have always followed the ancient path. Hundreds of years have passed, and our lives are still the same as they were during the Warring States period. ”
Immortal River looked like I understood.
In this way, the dresses of Ashina Isshin and Onikabe are explained.
"It wasn't until one day, when my brother and I were going to hunt in the mountains, that we accidentally fell off a cliff, fell into the river and were washed away by the water, and left the realm of Ashina, that we came outside by coincidence."
"Later, after I made many inquiries, I learned that my brother was picked up by a merchant in Tokyo at the water's edge, so I came all the way to Tokyo."
Ichiro said it very vaguely, and let them imagine it, anyway, none of this can be verified.
Murata patted his head, "No wonder the last time I saw you, you were dressed in tatters!" ”
"That's right."
Genichiro nodded, "After I found my brother, Miko also sent a message to familiarize us with the outside world and see if there is a threat to Ashina from the outside world." ”
"So, if you want to know where Ashina is, I can't tell you."
"As for this means of taking weapons directly from the void, this is also a unique ability given by the Son of God to allow us to protect ourselves again, including those medicines."
As he spoke, Ichiro stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the void, and King Kong Iron Summoning Thunder appeared in his hand again.
The bright and thin blade exudes a faint cold light, and at a glance, it is a divine weapon.
"But I don't know the specific principle, so I can't explain it to you."
Genichiro guessed that the so-called binding weapon should be something tied to his soul.
If this is the soul world, Ichiro unfortunately dies, and his soul is taken to the dwarf salary king Rudaos to be refined, and it is estimated that the result of refining is Iron Summoning Thunder and Iron God Arm Bow.
The same goes for the others who are called.
The Eagles were able to take out the scythe and shuriken out of thin air.
The Lone Shadow Crowd can directly take out the sword and call the ninja dog.
Even those two women from the Valley of Fallen were able to take out their iron cannons in an instant.
Murata looked at this magical scene with envy on his face: "Ah, if only I could do this." When you enter the city, you are not afraid of being arrested by the police. ”
The other two seem to feel the same way.
If you talk about the biggest obstacle on the way to killing ghosts, it's not ghosts, nor are you people who are hurt by ghosts.
It's a police organization that doesn't go in.
If they don't give money, or if they don't have orders from their superiors, they won't release people even if they know that there are ghosts in the world.
After a long time, Butterfly Chanae sighed and said: "I didn't expect that there is such a place in the world, it's really strange." ”
Being able to directly hide the divine son of a small country sounds very powerful.
If such a person could help them deal with the demons, they would surely break the chain of this tragedy sooner.
"But you're not an ordinary person in Reed, are you?"
Immortal Chuan recalled: "The uncle you called a teacher, just sitting on a horse, is much taller than the biggest ghost I have ever seen. can make such a person a teacher, and that kind of strong outrageous grandfather, you should also be a samurai. ”
Ichiro replied with a smile, "You guessed it right, the ancestor of the family is the daimyo of Ashina." ”
As soon as he said this, the three of them all showed their different surprises.
Especially Immortal Chuan, he suddenly laughed out loud and said to Hua Zhu: "Look at it, how can such a person join the Ghost Slayer Team?" People have a country to inherit, and if they call another person the lord, wouldn't it be very shameless. ”
Butterfly Chanae opened her mouth, the look of regret on her face overflowing.
She knew that Ichiro was not simple, but she didn't expect that the other party would actually be the future monarch of a country. Even if Ashina decides to withdraw from Tibet one day, he will become a big man walking in the Diet.
Such an identity determines that he will never become a subordinate of the Ghost Slayer Team.
"Although I won't join the Ghost Slayer Team, I'm interested in killing ghosts."
Ichiro's voice changed, "So, I can represent Ashina and do some cooperation with the Demon Slayer Team, what does Miss Chana think?" ”
