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

Chapter 248 Emergencies
The whole world seemed to be shaken. Uesugi Teruhu felt that she had completely lost all sense. At this moment, she even lost contact with her two guardian spirits. Only the small yellow dragon was still there.

She didn't know how long it had passed before she regained consciousness. Looking at the smiling Asai Nagamasa, she knew that the spell must have ended perfectly, but the yellow dragon in her body had also disappeared. A little lost, she obviously wanted to know more about the other party.

Looking back, she found that compared to the original illusory and hazy world, many changes had taken place, and all the stars in the sky had disappeared, and the cold and slippery feeling on her body was no longer there, replaced by warmth. light.

Except for having several times more spiritual energy and no sun, this place is almost the same as the outside world.

Asai Nagamasa took the initiative to step forward and thank you: "You're awake, Huihu. Thank you very much for what happened this time."

He really should thank him, because with the help of the other party, the effect of the spell was much stronger than he expected. Although the space here is still expanding and the power from Netherworld is still being integrated, it has changed. Became absolutely controllable.

Asai Nagamasa even adjusted the flow rate of time here. Time here is twice as fast as time outside. This will be an excellent place for practice.

It's just not suitable for mortals.

Because if a young Onmyoji has practiced here for ten years, he may become very old outside. What it is really suitable for are those special creatures that no longer worry too much about their life span: monsters, or ghosts. It also further perfected his idea of ​​the Hall of Heroes.

At the same time, he also arranged the Four Elephants and Five Elements magic circle to absorb and transform the energy pouring in from the Netherworld Spring into pure spiritual power without any malice and filth.

Uesugi Terutora only saw that he had transferred Huanglong's spirit to the statue, but in fact he did more.

Earth, fire, water, and wind are the formation of the four elements. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the formation of the five elements. The former is obtained from Abe Seimei, and the latter is passed down by Huang Long. If both exist at the same time, the effect will be far greater. Much larger than 1+1.

It's a pity that he can only set up the magic circle at present. Due to the lack of strong enough defenders, the magic circle is not operating at full capacity.

According to his idea, the yellow dragon belongs to earth, the phoenix is ​​fire, the white tiger is Geng metal and also belongs to wind, the great tengu Iizunaburo is also wind, and Hashihime is water. As long as the last link is added, it is wood attribute. Guardian spirit, the magic circle will become extremely perfect.

Unfortunately, there are currently no suitable choices around him, so he can only wait and slowly look for a suitable partner in the future.

But he is not particularly impatient, the formation of four elephants is enough to suppress this place, and the formation of five elements is only further strengthened for the sake of insurance, and according to the current situation, many guardian spirits of Ni Peng have been born one after another, there will always be opportunities of.

And more importantly, by absorbing the power from the underworld, he finally officially activated the ring with "Yan" written on it that he had obtained outside Inabayama Castle.

There is no need to cast any spells at all. After wearing the ring, he can see ordinary souls very intuitively, and he faintly feels that if he casts spells at this time, there will be a great chance to summon There are real Netherworld Judges such as Minotaur and Horsemen, and even the power of his shikigami Minotaur Demon Hakuo has been strengthened to a certain extent because of this.

He has initially obtained part of the authority over the Netherworld.

So in order to keep his secret just now, he had to do some tricks on the one-time Huanglong clone, causing the other party to lose consciousness briefly, so now he actually feels a little guilty towards Uesugi Teruhu.

But Teru Uesugi didn't know this, nor did the guardian spirit in her body, so seeing that the other two women had already woken up, she couldn't help but grit her teeth secretly.

It doesn't matter that A Xiu's strength is unknown, why can't he be as good as another woman?I'm afraid Nagamasa may be looking down on himself now?

Looking at her slightly doubtful expression, Asai Nagamasa felt even more embarrassed and guilty. As a friend, it was indeed inappropriate to treat her like this, but the matter was so important that he didn't want to reveal it to her yet.

Sometimes, the more you know, the better.

After a few pleasantries, he simply stopped worrying about this issue. At worst, he could find an opportunity to compensate the other party in the future. Anyway, judging from the current situation of the Uesugi family, he had many opportunities.

With a thought in his mind, he stretched out his hand and pointed in front of him. A large amount of soil immediately surged up like waves, and soon, as if it was alive, it automatically formed an altar, guarding the Yellow Dragon statue on it. Then the land continued to rise, an area of ​​tens of meters. The high altar holds the statue of the god and stands there.

And in the process of rising, the soft soil quickly became solidified, and in everyone's surprised eyes, they turned into hard rocks.

Just between these few breaths, a tall, magnificent and extremely gorgeous temple has taken shape, and it is not an ordinary rock. The smooth surface can reflect human figures as clearly as a mirror. Even Uesugi Teruhu can conclude that the entire Nippon is also unique!
Faced with Uesugi Terutora's doubts, Asai Nagamasa smiled slightly and did not explain much.

Huanglong is originally of earth, and with the reinforcement of the magic circle, it is easy to turn soil into rocks or even marble. Even his magic power is almost not consumed at all. It is replenished at the same time as he casts the magic. .

He then raised his hands slightly, and a large amount of soil rose up from the ground. Soon, two rows of small stone buildings more than ten meters high appeared on both sides. Likewise, this did not consume much of his mana, and he couldn't help but become more and more excited. Satisfied.

Uesugi Teruhora looked a little confused. For a moment, she didn't understand why he built so many houses at once. However, she was still a little interested in such multi-story houses. Kasugayama City was all made of wooden houses. Not only did they not It's so high, not so neat, and it couldn't be built so quickly.

Glancing at the tengu next to him, Asai Nagamasa found that they were also very happy about these new houses, and at the same time they were also a little curious, because the number was obviously too much for them.

In the end, the big tengu Iizunaburo, who was obviously much smarter, flew over immediately: "Master, we are ready to serve you."

While Asai Nagamasa and the others were casting spells, the tengu who had been knocked unconscious by him also returned one after another, and their minds were restored to clarity. Under the orders of the great tengu Iizunasaburo, they all chose to obey without even having to Enter into any contract.

The Tengu clan has always worshiped the strong, and they could only obey Asai Nagamasa, who defeated them easily, not to mention that they would never go against the wishes of the Great Tengu.

Asai Nagamasa nodded lightly: "Stay here for the time being and wait for my order. If there is any change, pray directly to the Yellow Dragon Statue."

Uesugi Terutora may have thought that he put his guardian spirit into the statue, but she would never know that the blood in his body had already changed. In a sense, he was the blood descendant of Huanglong, so there was something more between them. Mysterious connection.

That's why he was able to summon so many spirits at the same time, and after they worked together to complete the spell, they dissipated by themselves.

Even after completing this spell, the blood in his body seemed to have been slightly strengthened. His seemingly fair and tender skin was actually undergoing rapid transformation, forming extremely small energy scales, which were completely It's because the concentration of his bloodline has just reached a certain limit.

Iizunasaburo naturally had no objections, and now he has become Asai Nagamasa's shikigami, so he actually knows more. These words are actually meant for Uesugi Teruhora. With those magic circles around, There is no need for them to guard at all.

But it doesn't matter. The Tengu clan's need for food is very small. Even if they don't eat or drink for half a month, they won't starve to death.A quarter of an hour later, Asai Nagamasa and others stepped out of the valley again. As they moved, the fog in the valley quickly began to become extremely thin, as if it had been absorbed by something.

Then Teru Uesugi was very surprised to find that when the fog dissipated, the buildings in her memory did not appear in the valley, but instead there was nothing.

She immediately understood. Although she didn't know much about magic, she had two powerful guardian spirits in her body.

One of them is a knowledgeable iron-eating beast from the Cathay Empire, and the other is Bishamonten from the Inda Kingdom. He was once a member of many gods and Buddhas in Inda, even though he later died in battle due to unknown reasons. , and eventually became her guardian spirit by chance, but his knowledge is definitely far beyond ordinary people.

"Nagamasa, will I ever see Saburo Iizuna and the others again?"

She was somewhat disappointed at this moment, because Saburo Iizuna and the others were not only her martial arts masters, but also her friends.

Asai Nagamasa nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, Hui Hu, if you go to Kotani Castle next time, you can see them there."

Although Iizuna Saburo and other Tengu clan seem to have settled in this valley, in fact this valley is just a unique entrance. After the previous spell, Asai Nagamasa changed the entrance without his permission, unless he is stronger than him. Five times more, otherwise it would be impossible to step into it.

After he finished this visit, he decided to go to Izumo first, discuss with Huanglong, and seek his help, and then open an entrance near Otani Castle. In any case, the unique time flow rate and rich spiritual energy there, It is an excellent opportunity for any cultivator.

Terutora Uesugi nodded. She had no doubts about Asai Nagamasa's words. Although the time they got together was short, through that separation, she felt that she already knew the other person's character very well.

Although there are still many differences in details, they are indeed on the same road. They all have a common wish, which is to defeat all the demons in Nibon so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment!
Next to her, Ii Naotora secretly stretched and relaxed her shoulders, which was the most easily fatigued part of her body. She couldn't help it because the burden on her chest was too great.

"Hey, I don't know how long it's been outside, but I feel a little hungry."

In the previous actions, she did not consume much mana, because most of it was borne by the white tiger who assisted her, but she did not consume a lot of energy at all. After all, the things involved were too important, and she was The weakest among them, she was really afraid that she would be held back, causing the entire spell to fail.

But now, after completing this spell, although her strength has not increased, her control over the spell and her self-confidence have improved a lot.

Terutora Uesugi responded casually: "It shouldn't take too long, but counting the time, we have been out for an hour or two, so they should have prepared the dinner. Please enjoy the delicious food from my Uesugi family." "

"Thank you, Lord Uesugi."

The two of them still wanted to say a few polite words to each other, but at this time the fog had dissipated. When they saw the situation outside the valley clearly, they immediately knew that their estimate was definitely inaccurate, because there was a small camp outside the valley. , and a small well-equipped army!
As soon as they saw them coming out, a gorgeous woman who looked about [-] or [-]% similar to Uesugi Teruhu and was a few years older, hurriedly came over under the protection of many samurai.

He couldn't help but glance sideways at Terutora Uesugi. This unknown woman was a bit inferior to her, but she could definitely be called a rare beauty. If she had put on women's clothes herself, who knows what it would be like. Where is her beauty?
But Uesugi Terutoro didn't notice this detail, and she greeted him immediately, because she knew that something big must have happened if the other party came here in person.

Damn it, there is no sun in that special space, so I can only judge by the frequency of breathing, heartbeat, and thirst, but it should only last for an hour or two. In such a short period of time, what can I do? What happened that even made his sister come to him in person?

Is it possible that the rat people in Hida Kingdom have made another move, or is it that the Takeda family wants to take advantage of the situation?
But it's obviously winter now, so they shouldn't be so stupid, right?

"Aya, what happened?"

Ayahime's face was serious, even a little sad: "Torachiyo, Lord Naoe Keetsuna unfortunately encountered an accident in the wild, and he died in battle."

"what?"

Uesugi Teruhu was shocked when she heard this, because this name held considerable weight in her heart.

He is not only the wise general in the family, second only to the military advisor Usami Sadumi, and the lord of Echigo Kingdom and Itaki City, but he is also the first person to support her as the governor of the Uesugi family. Even the word "King" in his name is Given by himself, the relationship between the two parties can be imagined.

And he indeed lived up to Uesugi Kenshin's respect. He made great contributions when his family was conquering the north and south, and fighting against the Takeda family, the Hojo family and many other forces. More importantly, he showed great achievements in political strategy, diplomacy and logistics. He has extraordinary powers, and to put it bluntly, he is better than the military counselor Usami Sadumi in this aspect.

But who would have thought that such an important minister whom she relied on and trusted would die so unexpectedly in battle?

Uesugi Teruhora took a deep breath and tried hard to calm down his sadness and anger: "Aya, who did it? Where are the guarding warriors around Mr. Kagetsuna?"

The Uesugi family's army is slightly different from most of the current Nippon daimyo. Although they do not train a large number of professional infantry like the Asai family, they have more samurai.

For example, the home of military advisor Usami Sadami has a hundred professional samurai. Although this is a considerable expense, they can also play a great role in battle.

In most battles, it is not the number of ashigaru who only know how to wave the flag but more the brave samurai who lead the charge.

Although Naoe Keizuna is inferior to Usami Sadamitsu in terms of financial resources and power, with his identity and status, he usually has at least dozens of people accompanying him to protect him. Even if they are ambushed by hundreds of bandits, they still have a chance to retreat, and even It is also very possible to defeat the opponent in turn!

Hearing this, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but be a little cautious. This was because the deceased had an unusual position in the Uesugi family. They had already decided to hand over the business affairs between the two families to the other party. Unexpectedly, now The opponent unexpectedly died in battle.

Well, but now it seems that before he completely calmed down the valley, the flow of time inside and outside was obviously extremely abnormal. They originally thought it was only a few hours, but now it seems that several days have passed.
Hearing Terutora Uesugi's question, hatred and shame suddenly appeared on Ayahime's face. She spoke with great difficulty: "Tora Chiyo, Lord Kagetatsu's guard samurai all died with him. He was on his way to Nagasaki." On his way to Sakato Castle, Omasaka encountered some demons and was killed.”

After taking a slightly rapid breath, she continued: "But Lord Dingman has investigated and found that they are just some rotting corpses and skeletons. There is no threat at all. There are other people who really committed the murder."

"As for that despicable man Nagao Masaki, he immediately started a rebellion on the grounds that he refused to accept the alliance between our family and the Asai family. Now it seems that even if Master Kagetsuna hadn't encountered his poisonous hands, he would definitely be inseparable from him. Open a relationship!"

Of course she has reason to be ashamed, because Nagao Masaki is her nominal husband!
