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

Chapter 252 Immortal Peak Opens the Door

With a soft sigh, a monk with shriveled skin, sunken eye sockets, an extremely bloated body and an extremely aged appearance walked out of the shadows.

"Amitabha, the abbot of the Xianfeng Temple in the Poor Monk King Kong Mountain, Xianfeng, has met this great sir."

Although the other party took the initiative to bow and salute, and seemed to be extremely humble, Asai Nagamasa looked at the other party steadily, the flames on the Seven Star Sword still not extinguished: "Your soul is as filthy as his."

The psychic eye can not only see other people's guardian spirits, but also can see lonely ghosts and even souls that ordinary people cannot see with the naked eye. Especially as his strength continues to improve, the things he can see are getting better and better. Come more and more.

If the souls of ordinary farmers are mostly gray and white, symbolizing poverty and humility, then the souls of bandits or warriors who are full of murderous aura and have lives in their hands are mostly blood-colored, while the souls of octopus monsters that have just died are mostly red. As well as the Xianfeng in front of him, their souls were as filthy as mud, and even just getting close seemed to make him smell the stench.

Such a soul is not even worthy of being taken under his command and enriching his underworld soldiers.

Even if he does have some power.

Xianfeng sighed, and seemed to bend even harder: "Amitabha, mortals wish for immortality, but they don't know what price they have to pay. Although the poor monk is alive, he is not as good as the residents in the village."

"So, you have gained longevity, but now you are looking for death?" Nagamasa Asai told the truth.

"This is all the sin of the poor monk. Hundreds of years ago, the poor monk strayed into the Palace of Origin and got eternal life by chance, but that was not a blessing, but a sin, because one person's longevity means that thousands of people will do it for him." Sacrifice, just like the noble Kirigakure who was just killed by you, sir."

Kirigakure Takato?His ability is indeed somewhat related to the mist, and the clothes he wears do indicate that he is a noble person, at least he once was.

"But there aren't enough people here, so you developed the Gu of Immortality?"

Xianfeng did not deny it, he just recited Amitabha in a low voice, then took out a dark sword with a lotus pattern on the blade from his back, and held it up with both hands.

"This knife is called 'Open Door'. It can cut off the immortal. I will give it to you, sir."

Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He did see the magic of that knife, but he didn't expect this immortal peak to be so generous.

He stretched out his hand and made a move, and the door flew into his hand as soon as he opened the door. On the slightly cold sword, there was a very strange force surging, which was very similar in nature to the "Yan Luo" ring in his hand.

Is the so-called "opening the door" actually opening a door to the underworld for the enemy?

And in fact, its importance is far less than what the other party said. Even without it, didn't I just use magic to completely kill Kirigakure?
But it is indeed a precious sword, perhaps not inferior to the previous Thunder Sword - Xiaolong Jingguang.

Of course, when Demon Sword Girl appears, the two can no longer be compared.

"Thank you. As a reward, I can personally send you on your way."

Although he didn't know whether it was because he was reluctant to give up or because of his faith, Xianfeng didn't commit suicide, but he didn't mind giving him a ride.

At the same time, this is also a temptation.

"Amitabha, this poor monk is just trying to make up for his past mistakes, so it's hard work for you, Sir."

Whispering the Buddha's name again, Xianfeng did not reject Asai Nagamasa's proposal, and his face that was originally full of sorrow became a little more comfortable.

"But Sir, even though the noble Kirigakure is dead, there are still many nobles who suck the essence in the Source Palace, as well as many samurai who used to be guards but have now turned into monsters. It is even said that there is another space deep in the Source Palace. , the real divine dragon is hidden within it - the legendary Sakura Dragon who controls the power of water and wood."

"As long as the Sakura Dragon does not die, the water in the Source Palace will still have the power to make people immortal."

Asai Nagamasa became more vigilant and suspicious because the other party was too cooperative.

However, I am afraid that I cannot refuse, because the Five Elements Formation in that special space that I have named "Fengdu" happens to lack the power of the wood attribute.

But on the surface, he pretended to be slightly excited: "Is it the legendary dragon? Where is the Palace of Origin?"

Xianfeng stretched out his hand and pointed back: "The end of this river is the Palace of Source, but this journey is not a smooth journey."

"Oh?"

Asai Nagamasa seemed to be listening, but in fact he was trying his best to explore the "open door" in his hand. However, no matter how he looked at it, it was indeed just a powerful sword with no traps in it.

"Because after this place saw the light of day again, two groups of warriors came to investigate. The poor monks were afraid that they would be controlled by the nobles of the Source Palace. Ashina Castle, which was originally used to protect the Source Palace, would probably play its role again at this moment. ”

Two batches of samurai?
Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but think thoughtfully, so it seems that apart from the Sword Master Kamiizumi Hidetsuna and his party, the other group of people are probably members of the Takeda family, right?
But ordinary human warriors, no matter how numerous they are, have no meaning to him now.

"How much do you know about Yinglong and the god here, the White Snake God?"

Xianfeng shook his head gently: "The White Snake God has disappeared long ago, and Yinglong has never gone out. Even though the poor monk has been wandering here for hundreds of years, he has never really seen it. Sir, you can go to the source Find out the depths of the palace."

"In addition, the nobles of the Source Palace once deceived many samurai and residents of Ashina City into the palace so that they could absorb the essence to maintain their immortality. Such heavy resentment may also breed evildoers. Please also ask It’s better to be careful, sir.”

Before Asai Nagamasa could respond, Xianfeng had already bent down and even took the initiative to expose his withered neck.

"This is what the poor monk has said. Please send me off to my last journey. The poor monk once committed a lot of sins in seeking immortality. I hope that you can use that 'open door' to wipe out the Palace of Origin, which can be regarded as a small repayment to the poor monk." sin."

Asai Nagamasa's eyes flickered for a moment. Although he still had many doubts in his heart, he knew that even if the other party knew, he would probably not answer any of his questions.

So he stepped forward and chopped off the opponent's withered and ugly head with a wave of his hand.

Just like the Kirigakure noble before, there was also some special power on his broken wound, trying to put his body back together, but there was also some energy left on his wound on the door, and the two offset each other, just enough for him to Unable to recover, the energy around his neck gradually dissipated.

This may be why Xianfeng just said that opening the door can cut off the immortal.

But seeing the death of the other party, Asai Nagamasa did not receive any power feedback from the void. It was obvious that the other party and Kirigakure Takato died in almost the same way, and they were equally guilty, but the final feedback was completely different.

He suddenly felt enlightened. He then lit another fire and also lit Xianfeng's body. Then he still didn't gain any power. He suddenly confirmed a certain guess in his heart.

This Xianfeng monk seems to have everything in mind for himself. He only wants to pay for his sins, even at the cost of his life, just to act realistic enough.

But he never imagined that he would reveal his disguise so easily, right?

Most of the information he just provided may be true, but what he really wants is to use himself to kill the nobles of the Palace of Light Source, or even challenge Sakura Dragon, right?So who is his true identity?

Really, originally I just wanted to see if the legend here was true, but now things are getting more and more interesting.
At this time, there were footsteps behind him. Just as he was communicating with Xianfeng, Uesugi Teruhu, Axiu and the others had finished the battle.

Although the hundreds of villagers who have turned into zombies look scary, they are nothing to them. After all, the fledgling Asai Nagamasa and Axiu have killed hundreds of zombies in Shisanying Village. Strong ghouls, and Yao Dao Ji's thunder sword can ensure that they will never be resurrected again.

Seeing the demon sword princess who was the first to return to life, with several maggots surging like maggots in her palm, Asai Nagamasa also roughly understood Kirigakure Takato's plan.

It had to be said that he was somewhat capable at tinkering with this kind of Gu insect, but he just used it in the wrong place.

Seeing Asai Nagamasa nod, the lightning flashed in Demon Sword Princess's palm, and the Gu insects immediately turned into nothingness. Even though they could bring the so-called immortality, they were nothing compared to magic.

Asai Nagamasa turned to look at the little girl following Ii Naotora. It was the little girl who had previously comforted those little girls who had turned into zombies with the sound of pipa.

He noticed that unlike the gray and white souls of ordinary civilians, her soul was pure and flawless, white without any dirt.

And he can feel that the other party will have great potential in spells, especially water spells.

"Changzheng, I have already asked. Previously, a nobleman dressed as a minister promised the village chief that as long as everyone drinks the holy water, they can get rid of pain and go to the fairyland. Moreover, the stream is indeed sweet, so most people drink it. Got off."

"But not long after, everyone who drank the water died silently at home. After that, they resurrected from the cemetery and killed most of the villagers, including the village chief, except for This little girl."

Uesugi Teruhora finished everything she had heard in one breath, but Asai Nagamasa noticed that her right hand was always on the handle of the knife. Obviously she had serious concerns about what happened and the little girl. Suspect.

But she couldn't blame her. The scene before was really too surprising. The mere sound of the pipa could soothe hundreds of zombies. Even if she saw it with her own eyes, she couldn't believe it.

However, Asai Nagamasa just nodded towards her, and then looked gently at the little girl who was obviously very frightened.

In addition to being surrounded by zombies, among the dead, there are likely to be the other person's biological parents.

"I'm Asai Nagamasa, what's your name, little girl?"

Although his attitude was very friendly, the little girl who was obviously nervous still felt very nervous. She couldn't help but look at Ii Naotora, who was holding her right hand next to her.

After seeing the other person's gentle and encouraging smile in return, she finally summoned up the courage: "My name is Rin, Rin from Aquatic Village."

Ordinary farmers do not deserve to have a surname, and she only has one name.

Asai Nagamasa nodded slightly: "Very good, Rin, are you willing to practice martial arts and magic to defeat demons and prevent more tragedies like Aquatic Village from happening?"

Although these words may sound cruel, he believes that someone as smart as the other person can make the right choice.

Although she looks like she is less than ten years old, there is no doubt about her intelligence and potential as she is able to protect herself by playing the pipa when surrounded by many zombies.

Rin's face suddenly became paler, but in comparison, the light in her eyes was even stronger. She nodded vigorously: "Yes, Rin is willing!"

Asai Nagamasa suddenly chuckled: "Very good, then this Bingzi Pepper Forest will be given to you as a meeting gift. When I return to Xiaodani City, I will find a master for you."

As for water-attribute spells, I believe that Hashihime, who is a member of the gods, can teach her enough.

While handing over the dagger, he summoned another shikigami of his: "Then, Inugami, Rin's safety will be left to you."

"Yes, Master, I will do my best!"

With a dog-headed human body, the shikigami who claimed to be a swordsman said so.

Not only was Rin shocked when she saw the Shikigami for the first time, but Terutora Uesugi was also a little surprised, but she soon became interested in the furry head of the Inugami. The hair looked very soft.
However, Asai Nagamasa didn't give her this chance: "Huitora, let Murakami Kunikiyo and the others take care of Rin. It's not convenient for her to go with us. We have more important things to do. The zombies here are just A start."

Seeing Asai Nagamasa's solemn expression, Uesugi Teruhu also immediately adjusted his attitude: "Nagamasa, what just happened here?"

She knew that the other party would never run into the woods for no reason, but she did not find any suspicious targets. There was only a trace of burning heat in the air, which proved that the other party seemed to have used fire spells just now.

Next to them, Axiu and Ii Naotora were also very curious. The difference was that Ii Naotora was a little worried, while Axiu was more excited.

For her, zombies and the like are really uninteresting. It would be great if there were more powerful enemies.

So Asai Nagamasa shared all the information he got with them.

After hearing about the many evil deeds of the Kirigakure nobles and the Minamotonomiya nobles, Uesugi Teruhora suddenly became angry: "Treat living humans as food? It is unforgivable!"

After swinging the knife in the air a few times and venting her anger for a while, she suddenly thought of something: "So, the so-called immortality is probably all a trap set by them?"

Asai Nagamasa nodded: "That's right, at least they don't have a real way to live forever. They can extend their lives by absorbing the essence of others. This is just a robbery of life. Life extension and longevity are very different. Even Kirigakure The appearance of the nobleman has also changed into an octopus-like monster, and I suspect it has something to do with it."

"So, many samurai from the Nagano family and the Takeda family may have been deceived?"

"Monk Xianfeng said so, but what are the specific facts, we will soon be able to witness it with our own eyes."

Asai Nagamasa cast his gaze into the distance. I don't know if it was because Kirigakure Noble was dead, but the fog in the forest began to dissipate quickly, so he could clearly see an ancient city standing in the distance.

Judging from its age, it seems to have a history of at least hundreds of years. However, compared with the many cities in Nibon now, it is a bit small, and I am afraid that not many troops can be placed in it.

"Oh, is that so?"

The anger in Uesugi's eyes gradually faded away, replaced by more excitement: "Those guys never dared to confront me head-on before, and even Mrs. Excellent opportunity!”

Hearing this, the eyes of Axiu next to her gradually lit up. She didn't know how many battles she had experienced so far, but there seemed to be no one like the famous swordsman Shangizumi Hidetsuna.
Of course Asai Nagamasa also noticed this, so he couldn't help but laugh: "Very good, in that case, the many warriors of the Takeda family will be handed over to you Teruhu, and as for the sword master Kamiizumi Hidetsuna, I will give it to Axiu how?"

Although Nagano Yamasa wrote that there were many samurai around the Sword Master, but the so-called Ueno Sixteen Spears, except for himself, everyone else just made up the numbers and were not worth mentioning at all.

Uesugi Teruhu and Axiu looked at each other, and then nodded in unison: "Okay, let me see the true power of the Takeda family warriors!"
