Chapter 396: The Legend of the Demon Sword (Part II)
Muramasa, one of the most famous Japanese swords in Japan.
It was originally named after the swordwork of Ise from the middle of the Muromachi period to about 100 years from the Tensho period, when Japan entered the turbulent period of the Warring States period, and there was a great demand for Japanese swords.
Muramasa produced only the finest swords that could be used in actual combat, perhaps because they were so sharp that they began to be called "evil swords" and "demon swords" in the Edo period, and were shunned by the world.
Muramasa's official appearance as a swordsmith was in the middle of the Muromachi period, and it was not until the Edo period that he was given the title of "evil sword" and "demon sword".
First of all, Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandfather, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, was slashed from his right shoulder to his left abdomen by his own retainers with a knife from the right shoulder to the left abdomen when he was fighting against the Oda family.
Then, Tokugawa Ieyasu's father, Matsudaira Hirotada, was slashed in the thigh with a knife by a close minister, also with Muramasa.
Later, Tokugawa Ieyasu's son-in-law, Nobuyasu, was suspected of colluding with the Takeda family by Oda Nobunaga and committed suicide by seppuku, and it was Muramasa again!
Later, in the Battle of Sekigahara, it was Tokugawa Ieyasu's turn to be cut off by Muramasa's gun, so Ieyasu hated Muramasa very much, denounced it as a symbol of "bad luck", and ordered that Muramasa be abolished and not allowed to use it, and those who wielded the knife were sentenced to death.
"It's your Japanese folklore, so it's not very credible, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Haoran felt regretful, not to mention the existence of the cultivation realm, the king of Hades in the east, and the angels and demons in the west, these legends have been seen and fought with their own eyes, but the existence of the demon knife village cannot be said to be nothing.
After hearing Chen Haoran's negation, Jiu's face obviously showed a trace of disappointment, she nodded and said in a low voice: "Also, this is just my guess, and there is no proof."
"If your guess is correct, what are you going to do next?"
"Huh?"
Seeing Chen Haoran's expectant eyes, a faint joy began to surge in the bottom of the dove's heart: "There are believers in the Demon Knife Village who believe that it exists, and this sensation I think it should be what ceremony they are holding to commemorate and awaken that demon knife."
Hearing this, Chen Haoran couldn't help but laugh, he recalled the information he had seen on Cheng Hearse before, combined with the conjecture provided by the dove, and finally locked on Mount Fuji, which exuded an ominous atmosphere.
"Thank you for your cooperation, now it's time for me to go back. ”
Seeing that Chen Haoran was about to leave again, the dove couldn't help but take a step forward and hold on to his clothes tightly.
"Dove?"
Chen Haoran turned around and looked at the little hand that was pulling at his clothes, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then smiled and stretched out his hand to gently take her hand down.
"Listen, your duty now is to protect your young lady's safety, and it may be because of your momentary negligence that Meihai has been irreparably damaged. ”
Looking at Chen Haoran's unusually serious look, the dove withdrew his palm with some embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. ”
Scratching his cheeks, Chen Haoran looked at the lights below that had been extinguished, Chen Haoran made a silent gesture and laughed in a low voice: "Rest early, I will come to you for help in the future." ”
At the same time as the words fell, Chen Haoran's figure disappeared into the night like a ghost, and after looking around and finding that there was no trace of him, the dove muttered into the shadow of the tree.
Of course, Chen Haoran will not return to the hotel now, and now that he is sure that the source of this qiē comes from Mount Fuji, he plans to investigate, otherwise with Cheng Yongxiao's efficiency, he will not know when he will be able to complete the mission and return to China safely.
Although he said very excessive things to them before, Cheng Yongxiao is Cheng Ling's father, and Chen Haoran can't sit idly by and ignore him, so he can only secretly help him complete the task without being revealed.
Chen Haoran's figure kept flashing on the roof of the building, and as he flew forward, he could see a man who had just gotten off the tram below and was clutching his neck with a painful expression.
"Click"
The office worker choked his neck as the people around him watched in horror, his pale pupils filled with fear of the unknown.
Feeling that the essence on his body was passing at a rapid speed, Chen Haoran's brows couldn't help but frown.
Sure enough, it's Mt. Fuji
Looking in the direction where the wisp of essence was drifting, Chen Haoran glanced at the tram stop that had fallen into chaos, and then turned around and melted into the night. The office worker spat out the last mouthful of white foam and fell straight to the ground, and his face had become extremely dry at this time, as if he was an old man over the age of six.
"Out, out!"
As the man fell, the people around him began to stir, and it seemed that they had suffered a lot of psychological suffering recently.
Feeling the slightly cold night breeze, Chen Haoran still chased the spirit towards Mount Fuji with an indifferent expression, although he now got the power of the gods, but he is not a god, and there are probably different human tragedies happening all over the world now, and he can only help this.
Mt. Fuji is about 90 kilometers away from Tokyo City, and after nearly half an hour, Chen Haoran has come to Mt. Fuji.
After watching the wisp of spirit slowly drift to the top of the mountain, he immediately followed it and jumped to the top of the mountain, and when he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he could already faintly see the faint light of fire at the top of the mountain.
Could it be that the dove's conjecture is correct? Is this the place where the believers of the Demon Sword Muramasa gather for an awakening ceremony?
In his heart, Chen Haoran kicked on the snow, and with the low sound of explosion, he had already followed the push to the top of the mountain.
Sure enough, in the distance on the top of the mountain, there was a burning fire vat, and around it were many black-clothed people, who knelt in unison as if they were praying to the black iron standing in the fire vat.
After fixing his mind, Chen Haoran carefully watched from a distance and found that the true face of the black iron was a slender black sword.
The glowing blade of the sword looks very sharp, and this is the demon sword Muramasa.
It's hard to come, so do you want to make a move?
When Chen Haoran was secretly preparing for a sneak attack, at this time, those believers stood up in unison, seeing their sudden movement, Chen Haoran was also a little puzzled, he heard the footsteps from afar, and couldn't help but want to see who it was.
The footsteps gradually stopped, and Chen Haoran's pupils began to shrink suddenly!
Isn't he dead? Why is he still here!
The man wrapped in black didn't seem to notice the gaze that stared at him from the darkness in the distance, and he came to the believers and said emotionlessly: "Now the stored power is enough, let us witness the moment of the rebirth of the great Murasho!"
"Oh!"
Those believers shouted feverishly, and unlike the excited believers over there, Chen Haoran's expression was very surprised now.
Because the one who spoke there was the Dragon Group Five-member Council NO.3 - Shadow, which suddenly appeared after the resolution of the last Tokyo virus incident!
Wasn't he killed by his own hands? How could he be standing here alive now?
Chen Haoran's head was starting to turn a little now, and he could only stare at the dark shadow that was loudly announcing to those believers.
