A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 124
As he cast the spell, the large and small magic circles lit up one after another, and then the magic power flowed out of the spirit stone and slowly poured into the little fox and the bamboo tube next to it.

Guanhu, Guanhu, as the name suggests, is a fox shikigami who lives in a bamboo tube and uses it as a weapon, and the most important step is to make the bamboo tube completely belong to it, even its former owner cannot deprive it of it.

Generally speaking, the production process of Guanhu is very cruel. Many onmyojis will starve the fox for several days and bury it in the soil in the most hungry state, leaving only the head outside, and then when it is out of reach. place for delicious food.

After leaving it like this for several days, when the fox was on the verge of death and its greed, desire, resentment and resentment towards its owner reached their peak, the Onmyojis took action decisively and killed it with one knife.

In this case, the dead fox contains great resentment. Under the influence of spells and magic circles, the onmyoji can extract the soul of the fox, further catalyze the evil thoughts in its heart, and then attach it to a specially made body that can bind it. On the bamboo tube of the soul, a Shikigami-Guanhu is made.

In fact, many shikigami transformed from animals use similar methods to strengthen their power. However, although the shikigami made in this way have good power, their minds are often extremely vicious and they will always think about it. Betrayal and devour the master.

Onmyojis must be wary of whether they will bite back when they are fighting against the enemy. If the onmyoji is about to die, they will often deal with these shikigami first, lest the other party retaliate against their apprentice or family.

If they die suddenly in battle and fail to deal with the shikigami in time, then these shikigami who are freed from the shackles will often take revenge, kill, or even directly transform into monsters. This is not a rare thing.

But Abe Seimei is a well-known Onmyoji in Nippon and has left a great reputation in history. Of course, he disdains the use of this method. What he pursues is the heartfelt obedience and loyalty of the shikigami, so it is recorded in his inheritance is a completely different conversion method, which is what Asai Nagamasa is currently using.

The power of the shikigami transformed in this way may be similar to that of the traditional shikigami, or even slightly weaker, but its biggest advantage is that it is loyal enough and does not need to worry about backlash.

A glimpse of the whole thing tells the whole story. Abe Seimei is different from many Onmyoji who do whatever it takes to gain power. He disdains the use of all kinds of evil ways.

But relatively speaking, this method has requirements for the quality of the fox itself, and the requirements for the magic power of the Onmyoji have also increased a lot, so until now, Asai Nagamasa can use it freely.

With the continuous delivery of mana, the little fox felt very comfortable at first, but soon it became a little painful, because too much energy was pouring in, and its body seemed to be torn apart by the surging energy. cracked.

It just wanted to stand up and take a few steps to dodge a little, but the magic circle under it lit up instantly, and then a dozen shimmering energy chains emerged out of thin air, directly fixing it firmly in place.

Then Asai Nagamasa's voice came over: "Xiaohong, hug your bamboo tube and transfer the excess energy to it!"

Xiaohong is the name of the little fox. Although it doesn't wake up much these days, it still remembers its name firmly because of the reward of food. What's more, it is smarter than before. , although he cannot speak, he still has no problem understanding these simple words.

It immediately grabbed the bamboo tube next to it, and then it immediately felt a sense of relief, because the bamboo tube absorbed the excess energy.

But before it could be happy for long, the familiar pain struck again, because the bamboo tube actually returned more energy to it!
The little fox couldn't bear it any longer. It hissed in pain, and then passed on the energy again.

But Asai Nagamasa on the opposite side showed a smile instead, because he saw it clearly, just like when they met for the first time, the little fox once again reached a certain energy cycle with the bamboo tube.

And I'm afraid it didn't even notice that under the pain, it actually moved the bamboo tube around easily. You must know that even if it is only such a short section and it is hollow, the bamboo tube is still full of strength. More than ten kilograms.

Not to mention such a small fox, even a truly adult fox would be almost impossible to move it so easily, because it even far exceeds their weight.

But the pain is short-lived after all. This is not what this spell or Nagamasa Asai expected. His real purpose is to change the essence of the opponent's life and transform the opponent into an energy body-Shikigami controlled by Onmyoji.

So as the little fox's body gradually changes, its body can hold more and more energy, and it doesn't suffer as much pain.

But unknowingly, some hidden creatures in the darkness also felt the energy fluctuations here, and they woke up from their slumber.

Asai Nagamasa frowned at the moment. No wonder he vaguely felt something was wrong after he stepped into the temple. It seemed that there were some darker things hidden deep in the temple.

No wonder the location of this temple is very good, and there are many fields around it. But from the outside, it seems that it has been deserted for many years. This is not without reason!
However, seeing that the transformation spell was about to end, he must not interrupt it here, otherwise it would be a waste of materials and energy, which would be harmful to the little fox and even himself.

"Huh? It looks like we have some special encounters again~"

At this time, the little kunoichi quietly stood a few meters outside Asai Nagamasa. Here was the magic circle, the barking of foxes, and the roar of monsters in the darkness in the distance. If she could still sleep, then she This kunoichi was such a failure.

Axiu in the distance also changed her weapon into the shape of a guillotine. The dilapidated temple was not a particularly suitable place for wielding a giant scythe.

Asai Nagamasa glanced outside the door and found that the paper figures had no reaction at all to Ning Ning's arrival. He knew that these lowest level shikigami summoned by spells could not be counted on.

You must know that the order I gave them was to guard against all creatures that approached him, whether it was monsters or humans, including Ningning, of course. He did not issue any special orders against them.

But they still behave like this. It can only be said that the strength of the little kunoichi has already exceeded the upper limit of what they can do. It seems that the compassionate lark has been following the little kunoichi for a really long time.

But if such a little kunoichi truly relies on him, it will be a powerful help.

"Axiu, Ningning, it looks like I'm going to trouble you more, but my spell should be over successfully in less than half a cup of tea."

Ning Ning, who was looking very curiously at the little fox who seemed to be asleep in the magic circle, but whose whole body and the bamboo tube next to him were suspended in mid-air, couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.

She patted her small breasts that had just begun to grow and said: "Don't worry, leave it to Ning Ning, Ning Ning Ningfa!" With a soft sound, the little kunoichi's body shattered like a projection, and then a faint The golden light flashed out for more than ten meters, and with the almost inaudible footsteps, the little kunoichi's voice quickly disappeared: "Watch Ning Ning teach those bad boys a lesson!"

Seeing this scene, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but think deeply: "That light is very similar to the kind-hearted lark she showed before."

In Abe Seimei's records, excluding the guardian spirits that really exist in myths and legends such as Shenron, among various other animal-type guardian spirits, the various animal-type guardian spirits should be the strongest and most suitable for samurai warriors fighting on the battlefield. .

Bird-type guardian spirits have a relatively low increase in the host's various abilities. They emphasize flexibility and agility, as well as the very low chance of possessing the ability to fly.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case. The kind-hearted guardian spirit and the little ninja Ning Ning really complement each other.

Axiu looked at Asai Nagamasa, and then at the little kunoichi who was running away quickly. For a moment, she didn't know where to go.

"Axiu, please stay with me for now. Ningning is not a fool. If something unexpected happens, she will protect herself."

Axiu nodded, of course she cared more about Asai Nagamasa than the little kunoichi she had known for a short time.

Soon, the spell finally reached the final step. Nagamasa Asai kneaded the spell, concentrated on it, and threw a ray of his spiritual imprint into the soul of the little fox.

The next moment, an illusory Platycodon mark flashed in the little fox's soul. The sleeping little fox woke up instantly. At the same time, Asai Nagamasa also felt a soft and weak consciousness full of doubts, following some mysterious... The spiritual link passed through: "Is it the master?"

"Yes, it's me, Xiaohong."

Asai Nagamasa responded in the same way. Although he seemed a little tired at the moment because of his high mental concentration, he was in a very good mood because he had succeeded, and the little fox's intelligence and ability were better than he expected The ones in are more powerful.

From this moment on, it is no longer the ordinary little fox. It is the shikigami-Kanhu who belongs to Asai Nagamasa!

"That's great, I like the master the most!"

The tube fox jumped up excitedly, and then it was surprised to find that it and the bamboo tube next to it were suspended in mid-air!
Guan Hu suddenly looked a little panicked: "Master? What's wrong with me?"

Axiu blinked her eyes immediately. She didn't know why, but she felt that the little fox was cuter now and seemed to be smarter?

Although the spell was successful, Asai Nagamasa did not stand up immediately. Instead, he continued to sit cross-legged and meditate, trying hard to recover his lost mana: "Calm down, there are already relevant records in your memory."

If the subdued monsters are transformed into shikigami, they still have their original memories and will naturally use their various abilities. However, these shikigami, which were originally transformed from animals or dead objects, want them to learn to use their own abilities again. Strength, that would take too much time.

And many shikigami are so stupid that they can't even speak, so how can we expect them to learn?
Therefore, over time, before onmyojis transform into shikigami, they will prepare some memories and experiences for them, which can be understood as learning materials, in order to allow them to master their abilities as quickly as possible and become the right-hand man of onmyojis.

Nagamasa Asai, who has accepted the inheritance of Abe Seimei, will naturally not ignore this.

Guan Hu said "Oh", and then began to seriously absorb the knowledge in his mind, and soon mastered its power.

Guan Hu is a relatively common shikigami among Onmyojis. Its general abilities basically include the following.

First, although the running speed of tube foxes is very slow, they have the ability to levitate or even fly at low altitudes, which can greatly improve their flexibility, but it requires a certain amount of mana;

Second, the ability of bamboo tubes to protect the body. All tube foxes must have bamboo tubes by their side, and they have a special connection with bamboo tubes. It is said that every tube fox will never lose their bamboo tubes. , they can temporarily get into the bamboo tube, and then use their demonic power to create a shield on the surface of the bamboo tube to defend themselves;

Third, inject mana into the bamboo tube, and then eject energy spheres from the other end to attack the enemy. According to the different attributes of Guan Hu, the energy spheres used are also slightly different. Like Xiaohong, it is a fire ball with fire attributes.

These three abilities are common to Guan Hu. As for other abilities, it depends on the individual talents of each Guan Hu.

However, Guan Hu's shikigami themselves determine that their strength will not be too strong. No matter how they grow, they have their limits. They can only be used as initial help and to do some daily chores.

But no matter what, this is a rare experience for Asai Nagamasa. Now he can finally call himself an Onmyoji because he finally got his first shikigami.

Onmyojis have always been good at magic, and there are probably only a handful of Onmyojis in the entire history who have wielded their swords against enemies so frequently.

At the same time, Asai Nagamasa soon heard a pale golden light flashing in the distance. At the same time, the whirring voice of the little kunoichi and the roar of some large beast were also heard continuously. It seemed that there was also a flash of light over there. Hands over.

He couldn't help but sigh and stood up from the ground: "Really, the battle happened in such an environment. I haven't been able to possess the ability of night vision. Xiaohong, let me see your power next! "

"Okay, Master, leave it to me, Xiaohong!"
