Chapter 215: The Underground Duel in the Onion Tuna Wine House
【You return to the port, follow the signs, and embark on the road to the 'Onion Tuna Sake House'. 】
【……】
On the way, it was no surprise that I met the ronins sitting around the karmic fire again.
Lin Xun easily solved the ronin, and this time he didn't choose to leave.
Instead, they stay away from the karmic fire and are not illuminated by its fire, so as to verify their guesses.
He tried to test the reaction of the three-headed lion and the Valkyrie with karmic fire.
Ordered the three lions to step forward and approach the karmic fire, but as a result, the three lions as flesh creatures could not resist evil thoughts, and they would also be driven into madness by evil thoughts within the radiant range of karmic fire.
It's just that the three-headed lion, who couldn't find his target, didn't attack him, but began to harm himself to vent his evil thoughts.
"What a kind baby......"
Lin Xun retrieved the three lions, and then summoned the Valkyrie to continue the attempt.
The Valkyrie stepped forward and circled around the karmic fire, like no one else, showing no signs of being manipulated by evil thoughts.
He pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion.
Maybe because Valkyrie was a bronze creation, something like evil thoughts couldn't work on her.
Suddenly, Lin Xun's eyes lit up, and he thought of a kind of sassy operation.
If the Valkyrie can stay awake all the time, it may be an opportunity to eliminate the influence of evil thoughts.
He had thought of a way to avoid the effects of karma.
One is to fly through in defiance of the terrain, so that you can change your path and no longer be exposed to the light of karmic fire and will not be manipulated by evil thoughts.
However, the method of flying can only solve the karmic fire in the open terrain, and this method can only be avoided if you know in advance that there is karmic fire here.
If you encounter karmic fire in a sudden situation, you can't switch your body when evil thoughts surge, and you will inevitably have to waste your soul strength.
The second method is very simple, not to avoid but to solve evil thoughts.
The best way to vent evil thoughts is to kill, and when the evil thoughts are exhausted, you can leave quickly before the new evil thoughts have grown stronger.
If you don't have mob kills to vent your evil thoughts, you can try this method.
To be on the safe side, Lin Xun was going to try it first to see if this method could work, so as not to accidentally overturn the car at a time of crisis.
Give the Valkyrie special equipment and let her use the 'Little Demon God Rattle'.
['Battle Angel - Valkyrie', took the 'Little Demon God Rattle', she gently rang the bell, and the crisp bell was particularly harsh in the silent night. 】
[The rattle continued, but there was no 'little demon-like god' appeared, and the Valkyrie looked at the rattle in her hand suspiciously, increasing the shaking intensity......]
【……】
[Your watcher does not possess spirituality and cannot sacrifice spiritually summoning special summons.] 】
[Please give you the Watchman Spirit Item first.] 】
Lin Xun slapped his head.
"How did I forget this stubble?"
Rattles can sacrifice up to 10,000 spirits to summon demonic gods, and there is an upper limit on sacrifices, but there is no lower limit for netherworld games.
He's just using this equipment to vent his desires, and he doesn't have to waste so much savings.
[He took out the 'faint spirituality that was about to disappear' and gave it to the 'Battle Angel - Valkyrie'. 】
"Five points of spirituality, take the flowers, don't be too little."
[The Valkyrie rang the 'Little Devil God Rattle' again, and the crisp bell rang ......]
[An inexplicable gust of wind blew, and more than a dozen black shadows quietly emerged! 】
[They are as small as children, but they have green faces and fangs, and their expressions are hideous, or they hold knives, or they hold sticks, or they hold forks......]
[The form of the powerful 'evil ghost' is often as black as a swamp, and it is like a substance, but the eighteen 'little evil ghosts' in front of him have a fluttering shape, as if they will be blown away by the wind. You can even see through their translucent, sparse forms to the walls of the alley behind them......]
"It's just a tool to vent your desires, don't care about these details......"
[You brought eighteen 'powerful' little demons forward to approach the karmic fire ......]
[Your eyes can't help but be attracted by the pitch-black flames, looking at the distorted firelight, and the evil thoughts in your heart quietly breed......]
[The surging evil thoughts burst out, you uncontrollably pull out the knife, and want to use killing to calm the evil thoughts in your heart, but you can't find the enemy......]
[Your eyes lock on the group of thin little demons behind you, and evil thoughts erupt out......]
[The knife in his hand is waved, and the snow light flashes ......]
[Your special summoned creature 'Little Devil-Tsuki' has died!] 】
[Your special summoned creature 'Little Devil-III' is dead!] 】
【Your Special Minions......】
【……】
[When you finally vent your evil thoughts, only half of the eighteen 'little evil ghosts' remain. 】
[Looking at the karmic fire that is still burning, do you want to continue to stay here, or do you want to leave directly?] 】
"It works!"
After using the Sao operation to complete the self-production and self-sale of evil thoughts, the body successfully regained consciousness.
Now, as long as you take the Valkyrie with you at all times, you can make the Valkyrie become an independent awakening Ji, and at the critical moment, you don't have to worry about committing suicide and returning to the city due to the convergence of evil thoughts.
In fact, there is another way to vent evil thoughts, which is to use the self-healing immortality of the three-headed lion to vent evil thoughts on it......
"Forget it, I'd better be a person......"
Lin Xun, whose conscience was discovered, continued to the next stop.
【You're heading toward the 'Onion Tuna Sakaya'......】
【……】
You'll be there in no time. 】
[The entrance to the sake brewery is beautiful, and it occupies a large area, and by the noisy voices coming from it, you can tell that business is booming here. 】
[You walk into the 'Onion Tuna Wine House', which is full of diners, and it is a lively scene. 】
[If you look closely, there are all kinds of diners, including ronin, sailors, and ashigaru samurai......]
[When the 'fire-worshipping sake shopkeeper' saw you coming, he hurriedly greeted you and bowed to you frequently. 】
[It quietly stuffed you with a money bag, and leaned in and whispered, Lord Samurai, this is this month's 'Hoji Material', with the care of adults, the business of the dueling arena has become more and more prosperous recently. 】
[As a samurai in charge of security in the castle, you received the protection money from the shopkeeper. 】
You have gained 30,000 spiritual points! 】
[Seeing that you nodded with satisfaction, the ''Sake House Shopkeeper who worships the fire' hurriedly invited you to a private room on the side......]
[After a while, the brewery guy served exquisite food and two sake, and the owner kept reporting on the operation of the 'dueling ground', so that you could recall the relevant information......]
[Due to the 'cease of war' issued by the Shogun, the daimyos did not dare to raise troops to settle disputes with war, even if there were frictions and disputes between them. 】
[Under the influence of the 'Cease of War Order', the Shogun used a simple way to resolve the conflict between the daimyo, that is, the duel ceremony. 】
[The daimyo trained their henchmen and recruited swordsmen with strong martial arts skills to defend their reputation and interests with the gift of dueling. 】
[The duel between the samurai, only two people and two swords, is not only superior, but also life and death. 】
[When the samurai duel, they often invite a group of nobles to watch, and the winner is naturally the same scenery, while the loser not only loses face, but also has to lose a small life. 】
[However, the 'Ceremony of Duel' can only be participated in by samurai, and the nobles who are invited to watch the ceremony are often big shots, and even the nobles with slightly lower status cannot watch the 'Ceremony of Duel', let alone the common people......]
[The general's martial temperament has a huge influence, and the rich merchants of the common people, even if they are not proficient in martial arts, love to watch the bloody duel between the samurai, but because the threshold for watching the 'Gift of Decision' is too high, they can only look at the ocean and sigh......]
[Over time, some people secretly set up a dueling arena underground for civilians and wealthy merchants to watch duels ...... and bets. 】
[Orthodox samurai pay attention to reputation, and often do not participate in underground duels, and the underground dueling arena is mostly some ronin, wild swordsman, or ashigaru samurai who do not have the status of samurai.] 】
['Bao Si Material' comes from the bet and viewing fee of the underground dueling arena, and the 30,000 spirits that the owner pays you are the cost of dotting up and down and covering the underground dueling arena......]
【……】
[The 'Sake House Owner Who Worships Fire' sighed, I can still hand over your 30,000 spiritual 'Bao Si Materials' this month, but I am afraid that next month I will have to greatly reduce it. 】
[When you heard this, you were furious, and slapped the table and asked the reason. 】
[The shopkeeper tells you that the main part of the income from the dueling arena is to manipulate the victory or defeat of the duel to win the bet. Of course, the bets lost by the occasional nobleman who came to the dueling arena would be paid back, and the rich merchants and commoners were the ones who were the ones who were wronged. 】
[But recently, there has been a swordsman with superb swordsmanship in the dueling arena, who has won many battles and has never been defeated, so that there is no longer suspense about victory or defeat, and the income of the dueling arena has naturally been greatly reduced. 】
[The shopkeeper has been operating the dueling arena for several years, and there are many private methods, but the ordinary means of doing it somehow can't be effective against this swordsman. 】
[The shopkeeper suspects that this swordsman was probably sent by another dueling arena in the city in order to bring down its dueling arena.] 】
[Speaking of this, it bowed its head and bowed, tears fell, and words were related, imploring you to come out and defeat the swordsman in the duel, and remove a harm for the dueling field! 】
[As long as you can get rid of that swordsman, the shopkeeper is willing to offer another 30,000 spirits!] 】
[As a samurai class, you naturally know that participating in underground duels will damage the reputation of samurai, so you hesitated for a while. 】
[Apostle who cherishes feathers, what should you do?] 】
【1.‘ It's just a wild swordsman, what grade is it, how can it stand on a dueling platform with me? He resolutely refused the shopkeeper's plea. 】
【2.‘ It's just a wild swordsman, and I'm not going to be able to catch it? I resolutely agreed to the shopkeeper's plea. 】
【3.‘ It's just a wild swordsman, there is no suspense about victory or defeat, I not only have to shoot, but also bet! He resolutely agreed to the shopkeeper's plea and made another bet. 】
"Isn't this sending money to your door?"
Lin Xun immediately pressed the third option.
[You hold down the katana at your waist, your dark eyes contain a cold killing intent, and you nod slightly. 】
[The 'Sake House Owner Who Worships Fire' is overjoyed and was about to take you out of the private room, but you stopped it. 】
[Throw the money bag back to it as it was, and coldly spit out two words in his mouth: bet! ] 】
[The 'Sake House Shopkeeper Who Worships the Fire' hurriedly took the money bag, bowed and saluted, and led you out of the private room and towards the back door of the sake house......]
[It is overjoyed, leading the way, while muttering softly, the adult's martial arts are superb, and he is so confident that he will be able to cut this wild swordsman under the sword......]
[The back door of the sake house is connected to a large courtyard, and the 'fire-worshipping sake house shopkeeper' takes you to the corner of the compound and lifts a camouflaged stone slab on the ground, revealing the steps below. 】
[The sound of boiling people came from inside the passage, and when you heard the sound, you knew that there were a large number of people in this underground dueling arena. 】
[You descend the stairs and soon enter an open basement. 】
[The heavy smell of alcohol and sweat came to the face, and the layers of seats were full of moving figures, and a wooden dueling table was built in the center of the basement. 】
[There are people fighting on the stage, one of them is a samurai dressed in belly, the belly is armor sleeveless, only a piece of chest and abdomen armor on the front is used for protection, it looks tattered, this samurai is obviously the lowest level of ashigaru samurai. 】
[The other person was wearing a loose straight robe, with a black sheath sword tied around his waist, his body was thin, but his waist was straight, and the weapon was not yet unsheathed, so he could vaguely sense the fierce sword intent on his body. 】
[In the cheers of everyone, the ashigaru samurai shouted, jumped up with his feet on the ground, raised his sword above his head with both hands, and slashed it fiercely! 】
[The wild swordsman closes his eyes, holds the scabbard in his left hand, and holds the hilt lightly in his right hand......]
[I saw a flash of dazzling sword light, and the black flame was fleeting! ] 】
[The wild swordsman exhaled softly, and the sword was already back in its sheath......]
[The figure in the air split in two and fell, and the sprayed blood stained the dueling platform red, like a demonic picture. 】
[The audience was silent, and they were all shocked by this sharp sword light, and it took a long time before deafening applause and cheers broke out. 】
[The wild swordsman glanced at everyone in the audience, but his soft words resounded throughout the audience: Next. 】
[Its cold gaze swept over you, lingering on you for a moment, and you only felt that there was no human emotion in that gaze, only deep indifference. 】
[You have discovered the 'Heartless Swordsman Who Worships Fire'! 】
"Shhh...... This guy can really pretend to be forced. ”
Lin Xun sighed more than that.
In Ronin's memory, he had learned of the existence of the 'Heartless Ryu Kendo Gym'.
This swordsman is not a wild swordsman, but a disciple of the 'Heartless Flow Kendo Hall'.
The samurai body he possessed at this time was not as strong as the middle ninja in terms of real strength, but only a cut stronger than the lower ninja.
If you use this body to fight on stage, you will most likely end up in the same fate as the Ashigaru samurai.
Lin Xun had a faint premonition that even if he used Fantou's body to fight on it, he might be killed by this unintentional disciple with a sword.
"Damn, if you don't drive karma, you just suffer a little."
[The 'Sake House Owner Who Worships Fire' looks at you with anticipation in his eyes. 】
[Do you want to immediately go to the stage to duel and behead this person by the sword?] 】
[You hold the sword at your waist and say in a deep voice, just a few glasses of sake in your stomach, your lower abdomen is swollen, go to Xiaojie first, and then come to the duel. 】
[With that, you walk to the thatched house in the corner......]
"If you take the swordsman's body, you will probably be able to catch the line of the 'Heartless Flow Kendo Hall'......"
It's called the Heartless Stream Kendo Hall, and there must be many powerful swordsman shells and swordsmanship skills in it, and if you miss this location, you will lose more than a little bit.
In order to win a duel, you may not be able to win with the shells in this section, and you can only use three main shells.
The Earth Giant is too violent, and if one is not controlled, the swordsman's body cannot guarantee the integrity of the shell, and thus cannot be possessed.
The skill of looking directly at the president is too striking here to be applied.
All that's left is the little dragon human shell.
[You are possessed by the shell of the 'Primordial Hermit of Knowledge'! 】
[You used 'Neon Clothes Seashell' (item)!] 】
[The mist of the 'Neon Seashell' is steaming, temporarily transforming the abnormal form of the body into the appearance of an ordinary person! 】
There are still a lot of seashells left, so it's just right to use them here.
Lin Xun took off the samurai's clothes, put on the hermit's body, and then left the toilet.
[There was another person on the stage who responded to the battle, but he was quickly split by the sword of the 'fire-worshipping unintentional swordsman'. 】
[The words 'next' spread throughout the audience again.] 】
[The shopkeeper is still anxiously waiting for the samurai-sama to return, and you step forward and pat him on the shoulder and tell him that the samurai-sama has just eaten a bad stomach and is going to the toilet at this moment.] 】
[As a friend of the samurai-sama, you will help him bear this duel. 】
[After that, ignoring the shopkeeper's stunned eyes, he jumped onto the dueling platform......]
