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

Chapter 5 Abe Seimei’s inheritance
The moment he saw Shinkuro, Endo Kosaburo's eyes were full of surprise: "Young Master, you are still alive, ah no, are you okay?"

The ashigaru behind were also in a commotion, and they all murmured in low voices. Obviously, they were somewhat surprised that Asai Shinkuro was not dead yet.

But overall, they all still seemed a little happy.

Although he is not really an adult yet, the other person is after all an adult of noble birth, the young master of the Asai family, the overlord of Kitaomi, with a territory of tens of thousands of stones.

This time they were sent to follow the other party's command to conquer the beasts. If the other party dies but they are still alive, then when they go back, they may also have to bear the wrath of those adults.

But soon they thought of what they had just experienced, and they couldn't help but feel terrified.

They don’t know what will happen after they go back, but if those monsters appear again, they will probably suffer heavy casualties again. You must know that at the beginning, they had fifty ashigaru, but now there are only Less than half!

Shinkuro Asai glanced twice and roughly understood the current situation of these ashigaru. Except for the samurai at the head, others could not be relied on at all. Once they encountered monsters again, it was normal for them to abandon themselves and run away.

Are you worried about the punishment you may receive after escaping, or are you immediately killed by the monster in front of you?It's not a hard choice at all.

Without getting up immediately, Asai Shinkuro continued to maintain his movements. He just responded in a low voice, and then ordered: "Kosaburo, please bring someone to guard me first. I need to continue to recover my strength."

Just now, he needed to be distracted to guard against the outside world, so he did not fully absorb the energy from the earth to replenish his body, but now that he has Kozaburo's guard, his efficiency will definitely be greatly improved.

Although Kosaburo was stunned for a moment, he quickly responded. He first placed a pair of blood-stained short-handled katana swords next to Shinkuro, and then directed the messy ashigaru to attack Asai Shin. A few meters away from Kuro, a very simple protective circle was barely arranged.

Shinkuro glanced up at the pair of short swords that were more than half a meter long, and a lot of memories began to pour into his mind.

Unlike most samurai nowadays, Shinkuro prefers double swords, so apart from learning sword and spear skills from his martial arts teacher Fan Endo Naosuke, he spends almost all of his spare time secretly practicing double sword skills. And it has been hidden very deep.

Except for his attendant Kosaburo and his martial arts master Endo Naotsune who were slightly aware of it, even his father didn't know about it because he wanted to find an opportunity to become famous.

Speaking of which, today was the first time that he used two swords as weapons in public. Unfortunately, he had a bad start. He unfortunately encountered a monster. Not only did he lose his weapons, he even lost his life as well. It was cheaper for him to come from another world. soul.

As for these ashigaru who were wearing tattered straw sandals and whose faces were full of panic and confusion, he would have a rough idea of ​​what kind of world this place was after just flipping through his memory.

This is an island country that is in the midst of war. However, the difference from the history of the island country that he knows is that this place is not called Japan, but called Nippon.

At the beginning, the humans here only needed to fight with neighboring countries to seize each other's land, food and even population.

But I don't know since when, the world began to change, and they still need to fight against monsters from the mountains, water, sky, and underground, almost everywhere.

A long time ago, monsters were just legends, and gods were just beliefs. However, the long-term war probably caused too many innocent tragic deaths. Their resentment before death infected the world. In short, real monsters began to gradually appear in human beings. in front of us, and they appear more and more frequently and in greater numbers.

On the one hand, this has led to the temples and their ilk gaining unprecedented support. On the other hand, it has also forced real samurai to further hone their fighting will and skills, etc., in order to gain the power to kill monsters.

Until a few hundred years ago, I don’t know what happened. In short, all the monsters and ghosts suddenly disappeared, giving people a chance to breathe.

But who would have thought that after so long, the monster would reappear?

The reason why Shinkuro Asai died for a time was precisely because of the sudden attack of monsters.

In fact, he has also received training for many years. Even when facing ordinary lower-level monsters, he is not completely defenseless. Unfortunately, he was careless this time.Because he originally just wanted to take his men to hunt down a nest of wild boars as food for his upcoming 15-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, which was the banquet when he officially served as Yuan.

About a few hundred years ago, Emperor Tenmu issued a carnivorous edict during his reign, which prohibited the consumption of five animals, including cows, horses, dogs, monkeys, and chickens, from April [-]st to September [-]th every year. Iron cages, traps, mechanical guns, weir beams to block water for fishing, etc.

This edict has continued to this day, and the long-term war in Nibon has further led to the scarcity of materials, so even the warrior class actually lives in very poverty.

Not to mention three dishes and one soup, even Shinkuro's current nominal father, the daimyo Asai Hisamasa who ruled Kitaomi, usually only has pickles, miso soup and ochazuke rice as his daily meals, with the occasional addition of a few small fishes. , he can only eat something decent when he is in a good mood or during the holidays.

An adult wild boar has hundreds of kilograms of edible meat. It's no wonder that the original Shinkuro wanted to hunt.

It's one thing to show off your martial prowess, but it's probably another reason to satisfy your hunger.

But he didn't expect that these wild boars turned into humanoid monsters that walked upright. Although he fought bravely, on the one hand, it was because of the suddenness of the incident, and on the other hand, it was also because of the sudden appearance of a female monster named Hongye, and he did not react at all. The other party had already taken away his heart before, allowing a soul from another world to successfully descend.

While sorting out the chaotic thoughts, as time passed, Asai Shinkuro's injuries stabilized and his physical strength began to gradually recover. At the same time, he continued to look through the things left by Abe Seimei in his mind, and he began to get more and more... Interested.

It not only records a large number of strange experiences and knowledge about various monsters, but also many so-called yin and yang techniques, as well as the magic of the shikigami.

The Hidden Yellow Dragon naturally possesses powerful power and has mastered a large number of spells, but the original caster of those spells was Yellow Dragon, one of the Five Spirits of Heaven. For Shinkuro at the moment, they are either very demanding. , or it consumes a lot of money, and it is impossible for him to use it now.

But for the many spells left behind by the great Onmyoji Abe Seimei, the threshold for entry is relatively low.

Even after such a short period of time, he had already initially learned several low-level spells, and his speed was so fast that he was a little surprised.

Is it because of the possession of Huanglong that his talent in magic has been greatly improved, or is it that in this world, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth can be mobilized so easily?

At this moment, several slightly violent beast roars suddenly came from the distance, and the ashigaru people gathered in a circle suddenly became commotion. However, they still remembered what happened after the last time this sound came. That's bloody death!
Kosaburo, who had been standing next to him with a knife and looking warily in all directions, was also worried. He quickly looked at Asai Shinkuro: "Young Master, there is danger here, are we?"

But soon his eyes widened and he was speechless, because on Asai Shinkuro's fingertips, a little white light suddenly lit up!
This must be a legendary spell!

This thought rose in his heart instantly, followed by uncontrollable excitement.

Although it is said that there are already some samurai masters in the Eastern Kingdom who have mastered similar powers, but they are all fierce warriors who have experienced battles for a long time, or they are world-renowned great swordsmen. I am afraid that this is the first samurai who is as young as the young master.

How lucky I am to be able to follow such an adult!
"Yan Ling·Light Travel!"

Feeling the breeze surrounding him and his body suddenly becoming lighter, Asai Shinkuro, who had finally recovered from all the injuries all over his body, jumped up from the ground.

Without looking at the direction from which the sound came, he just picked up a long knife that fell on the ground and touched it gently. A faint yellow light suddenly flashed on it, making the whole knife look thicker, but in fact its weight was There was no increase at all, and he immediately couldn't help but feel even more delighted.

As for those next to him, both Kosaburo and the ashigaru who were still in a commotion just now were all looking at him in stunned silence, with the same thought rising in their hearts: "This must be a legendary spell!"

Shinkuro Asai didn't care about them. He just looked around, confirmed the terrain here, and then nodded lightly to Kozaburo: "I'm going to check on the monsters. You take the ashigaru and wait for me here first. Well, be prepared for an ambush.”

In fact, he doesn't need to recite it at all when casting the spell, but this will make it appear more formal and majestic, and may also misunderstand possible future enemies. At a critical moment, this misunderstanding may save his life. .

But it's too far to talk about that now. He has only one purpose at the moment, which is to at least see with his own eyes the murderer who killed this body and the monsters and monsters in this world!
