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

Chapter 246 Iizunasaburo
As soon as she stepped into the valley, Uesugi Teruhora immediately frowned, because many evil and filthy atmospheres had already hit her face. For her as a Buddhist guardian spirit, this power would not cause any harm to her, but it would It will make her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Although Axiu and Ii Naotora are not as sensitive as her in this regard, looking at their expressions and movements, they are obviously a little uncomfortable.

Asai Nagamasa also frowned, because such a dark and evil environment is not suitable for human beings.

If instead of these powerful warriors with guardian spirits, some ordinary warriors come here, I am afraid that if they stay here for just a short while, they will be transformed into mindless, bloodthirsty and cannibalistic corpses. , no wonder even the powerful Tengu clan would degenerate into monsters because of this.

"When I came here before, this was not like this. Something must have happened here."

"Yes, I am not completely unfamiliar with the strange things about those tengu."

Asai Nagamasa looked up at the sky and found that there was no sun above, but there was still a faint light shining through the thick clouds and mist to illuminate the earth. However, when this sunlight fell on the body, it did not bring any warmth. On the contrary, it feels like sewage on the body, cold and greasy.

But at the same time, the spiritual power in his body was more active than ever before. Although he did not cast a spell, he already knew that at this moment, both the power of his spell and the recovery speed of his magic power were much faster than those of the outside world.

Moreover, the hazy mist in the space here is not actually completely made of water vapor. Instead, it is more because the density of spiritual power is too high, so it eventually condenses into mist.

Asai Nagamasa suddenly realized that this place was no longer ordinary.

After briefly assessing the flow rate of his heartbeat, breathing, and spiritual energy to the outside world, he found that the flow rate of time here was probably very different from the outside world, but it didn't seem to be very stable, instead it was sometimes faster and sometimes slower.

This couldn't help but make him have some associations. Could it be a special place like the Blessed Land and Cave Heaven in myths and legends?

He waved his hand to summon hundreds of paper figures and asked them to explore the surroundings. He simply sat cross-legged on the ground and even closed his eyes, just feeling the power coming from underneath him.

No matter what, with the power of the Yellow Dragon, the earth will never deceive him.

Uesugi Teruhu, who originally wanted to say something, closed his mouth when he saw this, and just silently held the knife on guard.

At this moment, a series of screams suddenly sounded in the air, and then hundreds of sharp objects came through the air. The target was the weakest Naotora Ii!

Uesugi Teruhora immediately let out a squeak, and the entire long sword instantly enlarged several times, forming a super giant sword that shone with golden light, and swept directly towards the incoming object.

With a series of "ding-dong-dang" sounds, some tiny cracks appeared on the Kinko-tachi, but most of the incoming objects were blocked, and the rest were all destroyed by Axiu and Ii Naotora. They are not weak women who have no power to restrain a chicken.

However, the enemy's attack did not stop there. With an extremely violent roar, several small tornadoes tens of meters high and five or six meters thick appeared.

While they were spinning, they kept launching small wind blades in all directions. Although they were not very powerful, the number was extremely considerable. Even the strength of a few women was very good, but in order to protect Asai Nagamasa, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous for a while. Being stretched thin.

At the same time, under their influence, a large amount of fog was blown away, and the attacker who was originally hiding in the darkness also revealed his true form.

It was a big tengu with handsome appearance and gorgeous clothes.

Compared to the crow tengu outside, his appearance is much better. Not counting the wings on his back, he is a handsome man. At the same time, his stature is also smaller. He is a high-ranking member of the tengu. The Great Tengu who is good at magic.

But what they have in common is his red eyes and frantic posture. It is obvious that he is also lost in his mind!
After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Uesugi Teruatora immediately became anxious: "Iizunasaburo, it's me, Uesugi Teruatora!"

But Saburo Iizuna looked at her with murderous intent in his eyes. He made a "ho-ho" sound in his mouth while waving the cyan fan in his hand, constantly driving the tornado to attack.

At this time, Asai Nagamasa, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes: "Your strength is very similar to Hanbei, but it is a few percent weaker."

He gently touched the hilt of the Seven-Star Sword, and the earth in front of him suddenly opened its ferocious mouth, swallowing the Great Tengu Iizunasaburo and all the tornadoes together.

After a few breaths, the strong wind subsided, and his whole body was bound by rocks. Only Iizunasaburo, with his head leaking out, appeared in front of everyone.

Asai Nagamasa waved his hand and summoned the purification circle. Whether it was because of Uesugi Teruhu or his curiosity about this place, it was enough for him to save the other party's life.

Uesugi Teruhora immediately glanced at him gratefully. She and Iizunasaburo were old friends for more than 20 years. Her current martial arts skills were all thanks to the teachings of the Tengu clan here. She really didn't want to confront them with swords.

But after a dozen breaths, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but frown.

Uesugi Teruhu, who had been paying attention to him, suddenly felt nervous: "Nagamasa, what's wrong?"

"His condition seems to be a bit serious. I don't know whether it is because he has been corroded by the evil energy for too long, or because he has used too much mana, so he is affected to a much higher degree than his companions."

"If it were you, there must be a way to save it, right?"

She has been friends with the other party for more than 20 years. If the other party has been in this crazy state, no matter how much she can't bear it, she can only kill him for the safety of the residents here.

But fortunately now, with Asai Nagamasa here, she might not have to go to that final step.

Faced with Uesugi Teruhora's expectant eyes, Asai Nagamasa did not refuse.

"There is indeed a way, but I'm not sure if he will agree to it, and that is to accept him as a shikigami."

Most of the shikigami of the Onmyoji are spirit bodies, because after losing their physical body, they will be easier to control, but they are stronger than Asai Nagamasa, and of course they will not care about this trivial matter.

It's just that the other person is a friend of Uesugi Teruhu, and he feels that he still needs to tell him in advance, because after becoming a shikigami, the other person's life and death will be determined by his own thoughts.

Looking at Iizunasaburo, who was shouting something randomly and with murderous intent in his eyes, Uesugi Terutora quickly made a decision for him.

"In any case, please ask Nagamasa to save Iizunasaburo's life, and if I follow you, it won't be considered an insult to him."

She saw this very clearly.

Asai Nagamasa did not refuse, because this was really a trivial matter for him: "If he is your friend Huihu, that's fine."

After more than a dozen breaths, when several platycodon seals penetrated into key parts such as Iizunasaburo's heart and the center of his eyebrows, as the red light in his eyes gradually faded, the Daitengu finally calmed down.Asai Nagamasa also waved away the rocks that bound his body, they were no longer needed.

After staring blankly for a few times, Iizunasaburo looked at a few people again, mainly Asai Nagamasa.

His eyes were somewhat complicated. After becoming a shikigami, he also gained some general knowledge of shikigami, allowing him to realize his current situation.

But in the end, he bowed to Asai Nagamasa honestly: "The Great Tengu Iizunasaburo, pay your respects to the master."

"Get up."

Although the opponent was instantly killed by him with one move, he could never deny the opponent's strength. The Tengu clan was originally an extremely powerful race, not to mention that the opponent was the Great Tengu, the most superior among the Tengu.

Uesugi Teruhu, who had been paying attention to him, suddenly shouted in surprise: "Ah, you have recovered?"

"Yes, thanks to Master."

Although he was still a little unwilling, Iizunasaburo quickly adjusted his state and recognized his new identity.

In any case, the fact that the other party can defeat him so easily shows the strength of the other party. Even if he becomes a shikigami or servant to the other party, there is no shame at all.

Moreover, the Tengu clan has a long lifespan, and the average human Onmyoji can only live for a few decades. When the other person's lifespan is about to end, he can still hope to regain his freedom.

And he also has this self-confidence. Even if the other party himself is very strong, his family and descendants will never be as strong as the other party, right?

As he happens to be the Great Tengu, no one can refuse the protection of the Tengu clan.

At this time, Asai Nagamasa stood up from the ground, his face a little confused: "Have you ever been to other places?"

Although Asai Nagamasa didn’t know why he asked, Iizunasaburo answered honestly: “Yes, Master, I used to be active near Nagano Mountain, but then there was a man named Kamiizumi Hidetsuna in the Nagano family. He was a little hostile towards us Tengu, so to avoid any misunderstanding, I left there.”

Asai Nagamasa was noncommittal. It sounded like Iizunasaburo was a peace-loving tengu, but he was more willing to believe that it was because of other reasons.

"So, how strong is he?"

Saburo Iizuna was silent for a moment, and then replied: "His swordsmanship is extraordinary. Neither I nor my fellow clan members are any match for him. Moreover, he also has a powerful force in him, and he should be the legendary guardian spirit."

Terutora Uesugi was also a little surprised: "Sir Hidetsuna Ueizumi"

Since the Nagano family, like the Uesugi family, was hostile to Takeda Shingen, she had met Nagano Yamasa, the governor of the Nagano family, several times. However, due to many coincidences, she had never really seen the sword master. She did not expect that he would There are actually guardian spirits.

No wonder Takeda Shingen also suffered a loss at the hands of the Nagano family before. This sword master must also have contributed a lot, right?

But Asai Nagamasa was satisfied. Sure enough, the famous sword master was not just a mortal. Nippon was becoming more and more lively at the moment.

He looked up at the still foggy sky: "Itsuna Saburo, how big is this place? Why did you become like that just now?"

"Originally, the radius was only about five miles, but since last month, the spiritual energy here has suddenly become richer and began to expand outward. At the same time, the flow of time from the outside world has also become different."

"So I personally went to the place where the spiritual energy was most abundant to investigate, and then I lost my mind for some reason. Then I didn't know what happened until I was rescued by the owner."

Having said this, Iizunasaburo was somewhat depressed. He had also been a Tengu for a long time. Not only was he more powerful than Nippon, but except for Uesugi Kagetora and Ueizumi Hidetsuna, he had hardly encountered any opponents. Who would have thought that they would be tricked without even realizing it?

"Is that so?"

Asai Nagamasa frowned a little, because the paper figures he released had not touched the edge for so long. Judging by their speed, the current area of ​​​​this place is definitely not just what Iizunasaburo said, it has already expanded. Dozens or hundreds of times more
At this time, Uesugi Terutora took the initiative and approached: "Nagamasa, is there something wrong?"

"Well, according to the paper man's exploration and my perception, this place is now at least more than 30 miles from east to west, and at least forty to fifty miles from north to south. And this is far from the limit."

"how is this possible?"

Uesugi Teruhu was immediately shocked.

Although Saburo Iizuna and the other Tengu were very kind to her, they were inhuman after all, and this place was located in the territory of the Uesugi family and very close to the temple where she stayed when she was a child. Of course she had to do some basic research.

So she can be absolutely sure that Iizunasaburo is not lying, and she has visited this valley more than once. The Tengu have only built a dozen houses in total. Their number is also very small, and they will not cause much harm to the Uesugi family. threaten.

But now Asai Nagamasa said it was tens of miles away, how could this be possible?The valley outside is only a few miles in size!

Moreover, there are many villages within a radius of dozens of miles. If the fog is also shrouded in them, they must have reported it to themselves.

Saburo Iizuna was also extremely surprised, because he had lived here for decades and he knew this place better than Terutora Uesugi, but he did not raise any objection because he knew that something had indeed happened.

Asai Nagamasa sighed: "Kagetora, maybe after crossing a certain boundary, this is no longer the original world."

He stretched out his hand, and the strong wind roared, immediately blowing away a large amount of fog.

But there is no sun in the sky, instead there are stars all over the sky.

But these stars not only look extremely illusory, almost like shadows in the water, but more importantly, they look extremely gloomy and evil, and there are golden-green rays of light shining down from time to time.

When the light touched their skin, Uesugi Teruhu and Axiu were fine, but Ii Naotora was immediately shocked and couldn't help shouting softly. She felt the very real malice from the light.

Asai Nagamasa sighed and waved his hand to apply magic protection to Iizunasaburo and the girls: "Let's go, Iizunasaburo, take me to the place where you last have memories."
