Chapter Seventy-Six: Spirit
Just when Lu Qing was immersed in his imagination and couldn't extricate himself, the unconscious Nomura Zhai woke up at some point.
I saw that he didn't make a sound, only secretly pinched the seal in his hand, and kept muttering in his mouth, and bursts of strange fluctuations slowly dispersed.
?β Spell! Extinguish!" Just as Nomura thought he could finally avenge his beating, a huge fist kissed him on the face again.
Following the bridge of his broken nose, one of Nomura's eyes also turned into panda eyes, and the eye circles were high and swollen, which was very funny.
Feeling the feeling of being bitten by a mosquito on his body, Lu Qing couldn't help but nodded.
Although the power of the Yin-Yang Technique will be greatly reduced due to the lack of rune paper, it will not make the spell of a former Silver Peak Master weak like this.
To this extent, not to mention the original sorcerer, even Tokugawa Yasushi does not use rune paper to exert more power than this.
?β Don't pretend, I can't directly stun a great onmyoji with this punch, even if he's just a newcomer. Lu Qing looked at Nomura Sai, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, and said leisurely.
?β Who the hell are you, why did you do this to me, my mother never beat me like that!" Nomura said angrily.
Compared with the confident and arrogant witch master, the current Nomura Zhai is like a child, although it feels very naΓ―ve, but it is also much cuter, but it is a pity that it is not a cute girl, Lu Qingxin said.
?β Do you know Shenyou Village?" Lu Qing's voice suddenly became soft.
?β Divine Bless Village?" As Lu Qing thought, Nomura shook his head.
?β It was a place where the gods who had sheltered them had lost their protection, and the barrier was fading away.
There are thousands of innocent villagers and a young witch whose mana is slowly dying. Lu Qing's voice was full of sadness.
?β After the last time I helped them fight off a bunch of intruding yokai, a young couple came with their adorable children to thank me. You know what.
That child's eyes flickered, as if there was a star shining in them," Lu Qing's voice trembled a little.
Listening to Lu Qing's demagogic words, Nomura forgot to argue for a while, and indulged in the scene described by Lu Qing's words.
?β Before I left, the young shrine maiden begged me to protect their village.
Because, when the barrier is gone, it is the end of their fate. β
Lu Qing's eyes were already shining with tears, as if he was even moved.
?β Did you agree?" Nomura's eyes widened.
?β I would love to agree to her, but I have other more important missions, do you feel the demonic spirit of this area?" Lu Qing asked Nomura Zhai rhetorically.
Nomura snorted, then turned around, and his face instantly became extremely solemn: "What a powerful demonic aura, there is definitely more than one big monster inhabiting this area for a long time!"
?β Actually, you were caught by a big monster called "Witch Master" before, and you were almost eaten.
I rescued you. Lu lightly pointed to the worm mass on the ground that had been cut by him.
?β Lo and behold, you still have it on you. Lu Qing took a worm corpse from Nomura's clothes.
Nomura Zhai's face turned pale, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Lu Qing: "I'm so embarrassed, just now I actually made a move on Your Excellency!"
As he spoke, he bowed lightly to the landing.
Lu sighed lightly: "It's okay, if I were vigilant, I would make the same choice as you." β
Nomura looked at Lu Qing with even more admiration.
?β Actually, I have one thing I want to ask you for. Lu Qing shook Nomura Sai's shoulder.
Nomura raised his head and puffed up his chest: "Your Excellency, please say, I will definitely not shirk in the future." β
It's really sincere, Lu Qingxin smiled secretly, but his face was not moved at all.
?β Actually, I come from a secluded genre, and our life's mission is to travel the world and cut off all evil monsters. Lu Qing's face radiated the glow of a martyr.
?β So, even though I feel sorry for those children, I can't stay. Because, this is my mission. Lu Qingdao
?β But since I left that village, I have endured the torment every day, and as soon as I close my eyes, the figures of the children will appear in front of me!
However, I can't do anything at all!" Lu Qing covered his face in pain.
Nomura Zhai's eyes were faintly red, as if he was also infected by Lu Qing's words.
?β Until, I saw you. As soon as the words changed, Lu lightly patted Nomura Zhai's shoulders vigorously.
Nomura Zhai looked confused: "Me?"
?β Yes, it's you!" Lu Qing nodded firmly.
?β When I see you, I feel like I saw myself when I was young, just as upright, brave and kind!" Lu Qing threw out his words of praise without regret.
Nomura Sai's face is flushed, if it is paired with a red scarf, it is like a good boy who is performed by the teacher.
?β Therefore, my entrustment is, can you protect that village instead of me, to protect the smiles of those children, to rewrite the fate of thousands of people. Lu Qing looked directly into Murasai's eyes.
?β I...... I ......" Nomura's eyes were bright and uncertain, and it was clear that he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
??β Your name is Nomura Sai, isn't it?" Lu Qingdao.
Nomura nodded.
"Then Nomura Sai, do you know why humans can survive in this world where monsters are rampant?" Lu Qing said.
Nomura Zhai immediately said, "I know, it's because of the Great Human Barrier invented by Abe...... Shrew."
"No...... No...... No, I admit that the art of human enchantment is indeed essential. But what really enables mankind to pass on the torch from generation to generation is a kind of faith, a kind of spirit, and a kind of inheritance!"
"A spirit that is willing to sacrifice the ego for mankind and achieve the greater self! I don't want to be stationed in a big city, except for the occasional shot to send away the unsightly monsters, and I am accompanied by good wine and beautiful people on weekdays. β
"But now I walk among the poor mountains and rivers every day, and I am in the company of ugly and disgusting monsters.
Is it because I can't enter the big city, is it because my strength is not strong enough to enter the eyes of those adults?"
Nomura shook his head: "My lord, your strength is stronger than all the great samurai I have ever seen!"
"Yes, the reason why I don't go to the big city and endure such pain is not because of anything else, but because of that spirit!
If all of us humans have this kind of spirit, and we are united as one, why can't mankind rise!" Lu Qing said, and he was already a little choked up.
Nomura's eyes also flashed, and he nodded firmly: "I'll go! I'll go to protect the village in place of your lord!"
"What a good boy," Lu smiled slightly
