Chapter 90: The Relic of the First Succession to the Country
After Immortal Chuan finished talking about his experience with Masano Shono, the room seemed to be paused and fell silent.
Of course, he mainly relayed Onimai Tsuji's miserable appearance, words and deeds, and did not mention his own psychological activities, and privately regarded the successful escape as a fluke.
It wasn't until one of the incense burners placed at the end of the room suddenly broke off with a muffled sound that the unbearable silence came to an end.
And the paper door was suddenly pulled open from the outside.
A young man dressed in a thin single coat with purple sores on his forehead, but his lower half of his face was as clean as jade, and he walked in with the support of Tenyin of the maternity house.
Perhaps because he was in such a hurry that he didn't even wear warm clothes.
[This should be the leader of the ghost killing team.,Sanyashiki Yaoya.] γ
Ichiro looked at the visitor carefully.
[It doesn't seem to be in good health.] γ
Yaoya Sanyashiki was a little too excited at this time because he had listened to the words of the immortal Kawa Minoru outside the door, and he was covering his mouth with a handkerchief and coughing gently, his shoulders and chest rose and fell depressedly, and a trace of burnt herbs wafted from his body from time to time.
In addition, Genichiro could also see clearly that the iris of this person's left eye was already cloudy, showing a purple-gray mist, as if the sores on his face had grown into the inside of his eyes.
[It's a strange disease that I've never seen before.] γ
However, to his surprise, Yaoya Shikiki was disfigured like this, but the face looked so natural, neither disgusting nor causing other uncomfortable feelings.
He's just like Jiulang.,He has a special temperament that can't be disgusted.γ
"Lord!"
When the Butterfly Sisters saw him appear, they were about to get up, but the latter drove their weak bodies and walked in quickly, so that the hidden people outside quickly closed the door to isolate the cold air outside, and also interrupted the salute of the two by the way.
Although he couldn't see the slightest anxiety on his face, he didn't pay a little attention to the immortal Chuan and the guest Ichiro on the side, but instead knelt directly next to Kuang Jin, lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Chanae, how long can Kuang Jin last?" β
As soon as these words came out, Butterfly Chanae had not yet answered, but the immortal Minoru Kawa on the side instantly became annoyed, and even the wound on his neck that was about to scab over collapsed and cracked, and the whole person looked like a vicious god.
With the way he looks now, it's no wonder that when he broke in just now, the guards at the door thought he was an intruder.
"Hey! Can you say something nice! β
When he first heard Yaoya Sanyashiki directly pronounce Kuang's name, Immortal Chuan had just developed some good feelings for him, but with the former's next unlucky inquiry, that good feeling disappeared in an instant.
"We were born and died outside, but you live a peaceful life here with incense, don't be too peaceful! I don't ask you to do anything useful, at least don't say something discouraged! β
But the rest of the people present ignored him.
Only Ichiro put his hand on his shoulder and pressed it, hoping that he would be at ease.
Although Yaoya Sanyashiki did not show his emotions on his face, Koichiro could feel from his movements and words that the worry in his heart was no less than that of Minoru Immortal. It's just that as a leader, you have to be calmer than everyone else.
Hearing the lord's inquiry, Butterfly Chanae shook her head weakly.
"At this rate, even if you keep taking pills, I'm afraid you can only last for about half an hour. This curse that caused his wounds to worsen was supposed to be Onimai Tsuji's blood-ghostly technique, and it was difficult to deal with only in my life. I've tried wisteria flower liquid before, and the effect is only better than nothing. β
Hearing Chane's judgment, Immortal Chuan clenched his fists tightly, not knowing what to do.
"Then if Kuang Jin can last until noon tomorrow, can he try to dispel blood demons in the sun's light?"
When Yaoya Sanyashiki asked this, Koichiro keenly noticed that a fleeting uneasiness flashed in Mrs. Amane's ethereal eyes, and he immediately hid it, looking at her husband's back without saying a word.
"This ......"
Butterfly Chanae raised her head blankly, glanced at Butterfly Shinobi, and then gave an ambiguous answer.
"I can't be sure about this, after all, it was the blood ghost technique released by the ghost king himself, and whether it can be dispelled by sunlight alone."
Speaking of this, her expression was clouded with a layer of sadness, "But the problem now is that I can't think of any way to make Kuang Jin last until noon tomorrow." β
Then, she buried her head in her voice, her tone full of guilt.
"Are you sorry, my medical skills are still too low, I don't know what else I can do for Kuang Jin?"
"Chanae, how can I blame you for this."
Yaoya reached out to help the butterfly Chanae up on her shoulder, and then made a decision, and said with some relief: "It's time for me, the lord, to do something for the children." β
Except for the wry smile that Sanyashiki Tianyin had expected a long time ago, the rest of the people turned their puzzled eyes to him.
Could it be that this lord-sama who can't even solve his own stubborn illness can actually stop Onimai Tsuji's miserable blood ghost technique?
Under the gathering of several eyes, Yaoya Sanyashiki reached into his thin arm and groped for it, and after a while, he pulled out a golden bell with a red string hanging from it. It was clearly a guardian bell.
However, at the moment of witnessing the appearance of this bell, the pupils of both Genichiro and Butterfly Chanae contracted violently at the same time, and they obviously thought of something amazing.
Especially Koichiro.
In the sharp vision of this strongest archer of the reed, he could clearly see that the golden bell painted on it was actually the family crest of their reed clan!
In places where resources are scarce like Ashina, not everyone is qualified to wear a guardian bell made of gold (the guardian bell of the owl is made of copper).
In this way, the identity of the original owner of the bell can be said to be about to come out.
[That thing is the guardian bell of Kuro?] γ
[It was in front of the steps of the tiger's mouth that the nogami mother-in-law handed it to the wolf and asked him to take the bell to be enshrined in the dilapidated Buddhist temple! ] γ
[But the question is, why is there something in this world with the name of Reed flowing here?] γ
Ichiro couldn't figure it out.
The anchor made it very clear - Ashina, like several other countries that were about to perish, was a fake place designed by a man named Hidetaka Miyazaki, just like Tao Yuanming's peach blossom paradise.
That's why when he was just reborn in this world, Genichiro almost collapsed because he doubted whether he really existed, and then he activated the system and had the ability to bring the entire Ashina to this world.
But why, the leader of the ghost killing team, has something that has fallen out of the reed?
Although there are ghosts and Buddhas in this world, they are all cultivated by the locals themselves, and they happen to be used by Ichiro.
There are also Buddhist beads in this world, but those things are not the same as the Buddhist beads of the reed, and they are obviously also the product of localization.
Only this bell is really a thing of the name of the reed! After all, that family crest can't be faked.
So here's the problem.
In this world, is there a country called Ashina that has ever existed!
If so, why can't I find anything?
If not, then why is this thing in the hands of the Demon Slayer?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and finally fell into deep doubts.
On the other side, the moment Butterfly Chanae saw this thing, her face changed suddenly: "Lord, this is the ......"
"You've read all the records of the Demon Slayer Team carefully, Chanahui."
Yaoya holds the bell in her hand as if she were holding a priceless treasure.
"Put this thing on Kuang Jin's body, it can suppress the power of Onimai Tsuji, it should be enough for him to survive until tomorrow."
As he spoke, he smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I don't have any talent, I can't go into battle to kill ghosts, I only have a superficial understanding of pharmacology, and that's all I can do for him."
"But ......"
Butterfly Chanae wanted to say something, but the immortal Minoru Kawa on the side couldn't hold back any longer, and said bluntly: "Sanyashiki, have you made a mistake!" What exactly can such a bell do? β
Between the words, it was obvious that the dissatisfaction with Yaoyashiki Yaoyashiki, which had been finally suppressed before, broke out again.
"Immortal River! Don't talk to your lord like that! β
Butterfly Chanae suddenly turned her head, her eyes were full of tears, and there was a faint anger enveloping her, "The lord is risking his life to find life for Kuang Jin, how can you say that about him!" β
ββ¦β¦β
The room suddenly became dead silent.
Not to mention the immortal Minoru Kawa and the reeda Kenichiro who has only known Chanae for a few days.
Since the events of that year, even Butterfly Shinobu has never seen her sister angry, her little face is tense, and she doesn't know how to react.
can make such a gentle sister scold angrily, it can be seen that there must be something important behind it, and what does this have to do with the danger to the lord's life.
After a long time, it was Yaoya Shikiki who broke the deadlock: "Please don't be angry with both of you, it's that I didn't make it clear at the beginning." The origin of this guardian bell is extraordinary......"
"My lordship, I'll tell you."
ββ¦β¦β
Listening to Chana's irrefutable tone, Yaoya Sanyashiki was a little stunned, and then nodded, "Then please, Kanahui." β
Butterfly Chanae first rested the bell on the collarbone of Masashi Ino, and then faced a few people with a serious face and slowly spoke.
"The origin of this bell is extraordinary, and it is also what I saw from the archives of the Demon Slayer Team."
"It was more than 400 years ago, and it was still the Warring States periodβ"
[Warring States Period? γ
[Isn't that the time when both Ashina and Neifu existed? γ
[Could it be ......]
Hearing this keyword, Genichiro immediately focused all his attention on his ears, for fear of missing a word.
"It is a swordsman who uses the initial breathing method, and when he quits the ghost killing team, he gives it to the current head of the ghost killing team to contain this curse on the lord's body."
"Initial breathing?"
"Cursed?"
"Quitting the Ghost Slayer?"
Each of these unfamiliar words seems to hide a big secret.
What is the initial breathing method? Why did he quit the Ghost Slayer? Why should you even say that the illness on Yaoyashiki is a curse?
And judging from the tone of Butterfly Chanahui, it seems that every generation of the head of the ghost killing team is facing the same physical problems.
However, Butterfly Chanae is not finished.
"It is said that the swordsman who used the initial breathing method is very powerful, and the five basic breathing methods used by the ghost slayer team today are all derived from his initial breathing method, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest swordsman ever."
"For example, he once had a narrow encounter with Onimai Tsuji, but he almost killed him."
"What did you say?"
Immortal Minoru Kawa, as the only person present who had fought with Onimai Tsuji, was still vividly remembered when he struck with all his strength at noon but was easily crushed by the other party, and his tone was full of disbelief.
"He's the only one?"
According to his feelings, I'm afraid it will take at least fifty of them to pose an effective threat to Onimai Tsuji.
But Butterfly Chanae actually said that there was someone who could deal with that guy independently.
It's a fantasy.
If the person who told the story was not Butterfly Chanae but someone else, Immortal Chuan would have already disdainfully launched a verbal attack.
"Although there were other witnesses at the scene, according to the records, he was the only one who fought with Onimai Tsuji."
Butterfly Chanae continued.
"According to the records, after being defeated, Onimai Tsuji immediately fled into the wilderness. But because of this, this swordsman who used the initial breathing method was condemned and attacked by other swordsmen. β
"Some of the swordsmen did not believe that he had this power at all, and thought that he must be talking nonsense; The swordsman who believed in him thought that he had missed the best opportunity to kill Onimai Tsuji, so he should kill himself immediately. β
"In the end, it was the current leader of the Ghost Slayer who took a compromise solution, that is, expelled him from the Ghost Slayer Slayer, which not only appeased the other team members, but also saved the life of this swordsman."
And this guardian bell is the personal thing that the swordsman has always carried on his body. Because he could no longer serve his beloved lord, he attached some of his strength to this bell. So to this day, Onimai Tsuji is still afraid of the power on the bell, and so is his blood ghost technique. That's why, the lord said that it could make Kuang Jin last until tomorrow morning. β
"And what do you mean by curse?"
Ichiro urgently needs to sort out everything about this bell, but everything that Butterfly Chanae told is vague, he doesn't even know the name of the swordsman, why did this person carry Kuro's bell with him, and what curse did he dissolve?
He didn't know that this bell had this function in addition to going back in time.
In addition, he is also speculating that besides him, are there other reed celebrities who came to this world hundreds of years ago?
Who could be a swordsman with that kind of strength? Could it be a wolf?
Hearing Genichiro's question, Butterfly Chanae glanced at Yaoya Sanyashiki with some hesitation, and saw that the latter nodded to her with encouragement, so she said apologetically to this immortal Kawa Minoru: "As you can see, the scar on the lord's face is not a bad disease, but because of the existence of Onimai Tsuji, who was cursed by the heavens. β
"Waitβ"
Immortal Kawa Minoru glared at him and said suspiciously: "Why can't I understand, isn't he the leader of the Ghost Slayer Team, specifically fighting against Onimai Tsuji Misery?" Why did the heavens send a curse to him, could it be that this ghost dance Tsuji is really a creature favored by God. β
After all, at noon, Onimai Tsuji Muru once said unashamedly - he is the truth, he is the only one, he is the god who walks in the world.
If the gods are all this virtue, the immortal Kawa Minoru really feels that there is no hope for mankind at all.
"Hmm...... The next thing, in fact, when you become a pillar, the lord is going to tell you. β
Chanae looked into the eyes of the immortal Minoru Kawa and carefully observed his reaction, "But considering your character, it was I who stopped the lord, so I didn't let you know." β
The suspicion in the eyes of the immortal Kawa Minoru became heavier and heavier, except for the fact that a group of pigs drove the strongest swordsman who could kill the ghost king out of the ghost killing team, could there be anything else that made him even more disgusted with the ghost killing team?
Butterfly Chanae took a deep breath.
"The reason why the lord's family has been cursed by God for generations ......"
"It is precisely because of the fact that the ghost dance Tsuji is not miserable, and he used to be surnamed Sanyashiki."
Immortal Minoru Kawa's entire body froze suddenly, and after a few seconds, he slowly twisted his neck towards Yaoyashiki.
When he saw Yaoya Sanyashiki staring at him calmly with that one eye, Minoru Immortal couldn't bear it anymore, and an inexplicable sense of betrayal ignited his anger.
"So- we guys- what the are these things about-"
"What the hell is it for!?"
"You're a traitor!"
