"Tsk, if you defeat Yamauchi Norizen but don't kill him, he'll be hated for the rest of your life, right?"

The butterfly exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed.

And Ashina's expression was much more relaxed than hers, as if the map cannon that Lan En had just fired at the 'Bushido' could not reach him at all.

"That kid has probably been to many more places in his life than the two of us old guys, do you think he cares about the resentment of a reed general? I guess he'll forget about it when he gets out of this door. He's about to go, I'm going to deliver something. ”

The wizened old man said, and walked towards the witcher.

The old woman opened her mouth slightly as she watched as he pulled a scroll out of her bosom.

"Hey, you're not going to."

Although Lan En has actually practiced the stunt of [Reed Celebrity], is he really going to give it to him now?

The witcher bowed his head and said a few words to the black tanuki, and on the next journey to the Senfeng Temple, the former leader of the Chaos Wave would become an important guide.

Immediately afterward, Lan felt a knife-like shudder linger and move across his back.

This feeling that has already familiarized him, not to be a second choice.

"Ichishin-sama." The young man turned and nodded at the old man who walked over.

"Thank you for not letting the battle expand. We worked well together. ”

Wei Ming smiled dumbly, "You little ghost deliberately ran over to open the old bottom of Xianfeng Temple in front of us, just to spread the news that 'Xianfeng Temple has fallen into the outer way' to the civilians, so that they don't go to burn incense and worship Buddha again." Fight with the brainless Yamauchi Norizen, the influence is just right, if you force yourself out of Hiratano, it will cause more trouble. ”

After laughing, the wizened old man's one-eyed suddenly froze.

"And you should know very well what demons and monsters you will encounter in Xianfeng Temple, right? After all, they've been studying those things for a long time, and there will always be some great results. ”

"Monsters." Lan replied calmly.

"That temple is now full of monsters. And my job happens to be a professional match. ”

"Really? Before you came to Toei, were you actually a person who hunted monsters for a living? It's funny, I'm interested in your way of working. ”

Ashina smiled with interest.

"The results of the 'immortal power' studied by Xianfeng Temple are called [Insect Possession]. It is said that it is a tricky thing that will not be killed after being beheaded or digging out the heart. Originally, I wanted to recommend that you go to Xianfeng Temple to find a wild knife called [Immortal Slash], which can cut immortality. But if you're a monster hunter for a living, you must have your own means, right? I won't say more. ”

"But through this competition, you should also understand that Lan En's visit to Xianfeng Temple will be one battle after another."

Fighting, on the other hand, is a great vortex of desires and intentions of those associated with it. If you hesitate, you will be swallowed up by the maelstrom."

Lan summed it up in a coherent manner.

"That is, to lose the battle."

"Hahaha, that's right, you just take it to heart." The old man smiled lowly. "If Lan En hesitates, he will be defeated!"

Ashina smiled as he handed Lan En a scroll.

The witcher took it in confusion.

"[Reed name has no heart]? It's "

"[Reed Celebrity] is another level after the stunt. Haha, it's mysterious, but you can see from the thickness alone that this is something simpler than [Reed Celebrity]. Take it, I myself hate those monks, so I think it's my personal thanks. ”

Lan En was not pretentious, and put the not-so-thick scroll into the alchemy leather bag on his waist.

After greeting Kurogasa, the two of them walked towards the outside of Hirata Sho.

The butterfly paced to Ashina's side, who was staring at Lan En's back.

"It's so easy to send [Heartless Flow] out. You really don't cherish the fruits of your life. ”

"[Heartless Flow] is just a concept, if this concept can bear fruitful results in characters like him, I will only find it interesting I would like to teach [Heartless Flow] on a large scale, but unfortunately, mediocre people can't understand it."

Butterfly couldn't help but shake her head at this statement, indicating that she couldn't understand it.

"You swordsmen and samurai have really strange ideas, if you are a ninja, the crystallization of a lifetime of ninja will not even be revealed after the heir is determined."

"It's normal that you don't understand."

Juggernaut's palm rubbed against the hilt.

"He's very similar to me, especially in his attitude towards swordsmanship, that's why I see this kid very pleasing to the eye."

"The foundation of his ability comes from the swordsmanship he learned in Nanban. That kind of swordsmanship can't be said to be not strong, but it's certainly not suitable for people like us. ”

"If you've ever slashed him face to face, you can feel it. Although Lan En will make a detailed and logical analysis in battle, in the final analysis, he is a person who has been infected by Eastern culture in his bones. ”

"For him, or for people like us. Swordsmanship is an art! ”

"He was in pursuit of the perfect art of sword fighting, and that pursuit was almost instinctive to him. He will be driven by instinct to go far on this path. I'm almost unable to walk, and when I see such a young man, it's natural for the old man to want to help. ”

Madame Butterfly nodded indifferently, she was just a ninja and not as strong as a samurai.

When he was young, he was delicate and frail, and when he was old, he was exhausted, and he could only rely on a 'passable' illusion to protect himself.

Although the life paths and goals of the swordsmen and samurai can be understood, they are far away from her.

But there's only one thing - she knows her old buddy.

"Your 'tengu suit' has been put in your room."

A seemingly casual sentence came out of the old woman's mouth, making the smile on Reina's old face even more obvious.

Tengu costume refers to a civilian cloth robe, draped in a robe, and a tengu mask.

It's not any special equipment, it's just a disguise to hide people's eyes when Ashina is bent on 'private activities'.

The [Sword Master] of this era does not pay attention to empty talk, mood and theory, what matters is whether he can kill people and how many people he has killed.

Fighting enemies is his pleasure and a way for him to maintain his touch.

The emaciated old man often wore this costume and hunted down the good ninjas of the inner house in Ashina Castle.

So much so that the legend of the 'Tengu Swordsman' came out.

Madame Butterfly spat out a smoke ring towards Ashina, smacking her lips.

"Don't look at me like that." If you could be more than a decade younger, it is estimated that you would beat Lan En down and go up to King Kong Mountain happily, right? ”

"Men, swordsmen, always have their blood boiling in their minds for some strange things."

"No one can stop you in this place anyway, so you can go if you want. But don't rush too hard, although your knife is sharp, but your body is not the kind of strong guy that people are. You have to take it easy to cut people. ”
