257. The Vortex of Immortality

Either way, Lan En had already found a way to kill the [Worm Possessed].

Although this method is not economical and does not last long, it is better than taking action to find a safe point of immortality.

It's not that Lan En looks down on Kurosa's ability as a ninja, but Senfeng Temple is a large temple that can be regarded as a military fortress.

It is also a temple of warrior monks who practice martial arts.

Now Kurogasa is cleaning up the ninja not far from Lanen, and if something happens, he can still take care of it, but if he wanders alone, looking for the Immortal Slash

Who knows how many places in this temple, which is already like a demon cave, are not clear to him, the leader of the ninjas?

According to rumors, the Venerable Senfeng was a figure who had existed since the first construction of the Senfeng Temple, and he must have a much deeper understanding of this temple than Kurosasa.

And just as the witcher and ninja were about to walk out of the side hall and continue to explore inside, there was the sound of heavy armor stomping on the ground behind them.

The two of them looked behind them together, and just happened to see a tall, thin and majestic figure coming out of the corner.

It's the armored Nanban who was suppressed by him, and there's another . Ashina Isshin with a tengu mask?

The witcher was stunned, then came to his senses.

Wei Ming's official identity does not allow him to do anything to Xianfeng Temple, but a swordsman who can be a [Sword Saint], if he is bound by such a thing as an official identity, it will be too unreasonable.

Wear a mask that hides your identity, or represents your private identity, and then comes out and slashes people.

You say I'm Ashina?

Wouldn't I be able to hack you to death?

This is probably the brain circuit of [Juggernaut].

"Ichishin-sama." Lan En nodded to him, "I didn't expect you to be able to resist coming." ”

The witcher didn't hesitate to reveal his identity.

After all, no one here cares about his official status.

The thin old man also nodded indifferently: "Break into Xianfeng Temple and make a big fuss. Well, I fantasized about this when I was younger. I didn't expect to be so old that I was dying, but I really had a chance to achieve it. Thanks to you, boy. ”

"As for this guy"

Reina tilted the hilt of his sword and pointed to the armored Nanban beside him.

"Don't expect to be able to communicate with him, it is estimated that after breaking into the Xianfeng Temple this time, he will burn out."

Old Robert neither spoke nor made the slightest movement, like an empty piece of armor.

That feeling reminded Lan En of his first meeting with Kurogasa on the side of the Longquan River.

A feeling that the heart is dead.

Lan En frowned slightly.

"Lord Isshin, I didn't want him to see these scenes yet. At least he still has hope for the rest of his life. ”

"I know you're kind, Lan. But you don't know as much about this kind of person as I do. For them, revenge means far more than the rest of their lives. ”

At first glance, it sounded like he didn't care about the state of old Robert.

But when I taste it carefully, I feel like I am recalling the regrets of the past that I have been relieved of.

Is it a story from the war?

Lan En thought silently, and only in the most cruel social activities of human beings can he meet all kinds of strange people and things.

Ashina was a man who had led wars, and he had seen more people than Lan.

The Demon Hunter no longer refuted him, and acquiesced in the decision to let the Armored Nanban, who was more mournful than dead, join.

Among the four people, it is now the armored Nanban who has just begun to guard the wooden bridge of Xianfeng Temple is the most anxious.

He immediately walked past Lan En's side and went deeper towards the Xianfeng Temple outside the side hall.

As he passed by Lan, the witcher faintly heard a 'thank you' through the muffled sound of metal.

The witcher didn't turn his head to look at the man in heavy armor.

He didn't know if this 'thank you' was because he had exposed the lies of Xianfeng Temple, or because he didn't want the father who had lost his child to be involved in the first place.

But in short, Lan En now clearly felt that the other party really didn't care about anything but revenge.

"The rest of the way is to attack."

Lan En shook his head, gathered his thoughts, and said as he walked.

"The people of Xianfeng Temple can't cultivate their bodies, and their brains are all broken. They gave up the defense of the monastery and the weapons and equipment used in the defense, and it is estimated that all of them were exchanged for research funds. ”

As he spoke, Lan En nodded at the Tanuki of Kurokasa. This information was confirmed by him.

The black hat nodded up and down: "I confirm that this temple, which could have resisted the siege of the army, is now only defended by manpower." ”

Ashina put his wrist on the hilt of the knife at his waist and walked easily.

"Haha! That's what I want. If we really face a well-protected fortress, a few of our swords may not be as effective as this one ninja. It's just a human haha, you will definitely be able to cut it hard! ”

"Don't be careless, Lord Yixin." The witcher was in a very rational state at this point. "Even if Kurogasa intercepted and killed a lot of ninjas, the killing of these ninjas is news in itself. You can fight a skirmish like you did on the mountain trail just now. There will be no more in the future. ”

"Wouldn't that be better, Lane?"

Beneath the red tengu mask, Ashina's voice is inexplicably reminiscent of a thin smiling face.

The smile on that smiling face, sharp and bloody.

"Aren't we here to kill? The swarming enemies are much easier than if we went to find them. ”

"That's true." Lan En's crisp answer made Reina hesitate slightly, "So, you should be careful with your aging body. Excessive agitation can predispose to cardiovascular disease. ”

"Haha! You're interesting, Lane! ”

Ashina's heroic laughter didn't look like it could come from that sickly thin body.

In the thirty-three halls in the deepest part of Xianfeng Temple, the immediate-body Buddha wearing a light green monk's robe and showing an unusual identity is chanting scriptures in front of the Buddha statue in the main hall.

His physical condition was no better than that of an ordinary impersonated Buddha. From the cracked and broken skin, fibrotic muscles and walking centipedes can still be seen.

The main hall, which was supposed to be spotless and resplendent to show the majesty of Buddhism, is now full of centipedes, grasshoppers, and dust. No one takes care of the dirt.

How can the ethereal Buddha be compared to the immortal body that sees is believing?

A tall ninja with a straw hat and a two-headed naginata in his hand came in from outside the main hall, and as if he didn't feel anything unusual, he saluted respectfully to the green monk-robed Buddha.

"Venerable Master, someone has broken into the monastery. We're going to stop it. ”

After saying that, without waiting for the 'Venerable Master' to express his opinion, the ninja walked away on his own.

Only the body Buddha remains, and the vocal cords are dry and stiff.

"Again. How many lives? I, Buddha, please have mercy. ”

Listening to what he meant, it seems that he doesn't want to harm more people's lives.

However, the monks who have become obsessed with immortality will no longer stop because of the 'Venerable Master's Decree'.

Immortality distorts the way people live.

This is not only a problem for the undead. And those who aspire to immortality, the whirlpool of struggle that is rolled up by their desires.

Once contaminated with the 'immortal body', then there is longing, fear, desire, rejection. In the midst of all these emotions, where will things go? It's not a matter of personal interference.
