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

Chapter 55 Gifts
Hanbei immediately exclaimed: "Ah, is it the inheritance of Lord Seimei? So precious."

He usually prides himself on being a calm person, but now he can't restrain his excitement. The name "The Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei" is really too loud.

While he was surprised by the other party's words, he also felt guilty in his heart, because his arrival was actually not a mere coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement. The reason why he came here was to meet the other party in person. one side.

Now that he has seen the other person, he has confirmed his suspicions, but how should he repay him for accepting such a heavy gift when they first met?
While hesitating, Hanbei's ears twitched, and then he took a deep breath and saluted Asai Nagamasa very solemnly: "I am Shimo Takenaka Hanbei, and I would like to thank Brother Nagamasa for your great kindness!"

Asai Nagamasa smiled and waved his hand: "Hanhei, there is no need for this. I am sure that Lord Seimei will be very satisfied if I can hand over this inheritance to you."

After accepting his cheap apprentice in Miyabe Castle, he had a hunch that the inheritance from Abe Seimei would be useful in more places in the future, so he prepared some basic introductory materials in advance. ,in case for need.

Abe Seimei did not say that he cannot hand over his inheritance to others, but it is very difficult to accept the inheritance of the strongest onmyoji for hundreds of years. Even if Asai Nagamasa makes it public to the world, he may not be able to There are a few people who can really learn it, even if they provide only the foundation of the foundation.

Genius is one percent inspiration, plus 90.00% nine percent sweat, but that one percent inspiration is often more important.

But even though he admired the other party's ability very much, he didn't reveal the intention of soliciting the other party at all, because that would only embarrass both parties.

Although the Takenaka family is not powerful, they still have their own castle in the rich Mino area. It is said that the Takenaka family has always maintained a good relationship with the Ando Mamoru family, the leader of the Nishi-Mino trio. There are even rumors. Said Ando Mamoru wanted to marry his daughter to Hanbei.

Ando Mamoru is a veteran wealthy family in Mino. He was the first to choose to join Saito Dozo after he succeeded in defeating him, and immediately followed him to conquer those who disobeyed, so he was appreciated and reused by Dozo.

After that, he crossed a river and defeated Oda Nobunaga and his father, Owari Nobhide, who was known as the "Tiger of Owari" at the time. As a result, he became famous in one fell swoop and became more and more valued by Saito Douzan. , or ability, ranking among the strongest in Meinong.

If that rumor is indeed true, then Hanbei will be walking sideways in the Mino area.

In the history of the parallel world that he was familiar with, Hanbei had indeed embarked on this path. At that time, he was considered a real big shot in the entire Mino region.

Now, as the young master who ran away from the Asai family, he had no money and no one, so what could he do to attract him?Is it possible to use magic to attract him like he did to Miyabe Tsurun before?

However, the method that works for Miyabe Jirun may not work for Hanbei, because the opponent itself has some extremely special powers.

"What's more, being able to meet here shows the fate between us, doesn't it?"

Guardian spirits are undoubtedly a great benefit to humans because they represent powerful power.

But if the possessed person is innately weak, this power will also bring a burden. Even the more powerful the guardian spirit, the stronger the burden will be. If it is strong enough to a certain extent, it may even lose control.

According to Asai Nagamasa's overnight observation, this is the case with Hanbei right now.

That's why he, a young warrior who is about to enter the Yuanfu, looks much more immature than his peers, and his physique is much weaker. That's why he has huge wind energy escaping from his whole body.

This is actually an external manifestation of the excessive burden placed on him by his guardian spirit. His guardian spirit is probably extremely powerful, so powerful that he cannot perfectly control the abundant energy in his body. He is not showing off to anyone. , he just couldn't completely restrain himself.

If it continues like this, it would be okay if he doesn't use the power of the guardian spirit. Once he uses it, it will probably further consume his vitality, and he will really die young.Takenaka Hanbei also heard the implication of Asai Nagamasa's words. He opened his mouth, and then bowed deeply again: "Brother Nagamasa, if you are on your way, when you return from your travels, please be sure to go to my Takenaka home. Gathering in Bodhi Mountain City."

If he had a lot of thoughts before this, but from this moment on, he is grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha, don't worry, Hanbei, I want to discuss some more tactics with you!"

"This is a gift from a friend and a brother, but it is also so that your talents and talents will not be wasted."

"And the help at Jusan Sakura Village yesterday." Asai Nagamasa added secretly in his heart.

He had been a little surprised by the sudden strong wind before, but when Hanbei appeared here, after a little thought, he felt that the matter was probably inseparable from the other party.

Although the other party followed him here from Shisanying Village, he must have some purpose, but he has to admit his sympathy.

This is the most basic Onmyoji practice recipe perfected by Abe Seimei. There are no spells recorded on it. The effect is simply to condense and channel mana so that it can better use the power it possesses.

If it were just ordinary basic training techniques, they would not be particularly precious in that era when monsters and onmyojis emerged in endlessly. Let alone onmyojis, even ordinary samurai could do it as long as they were willing to spend a lot of money. I bought similar cultivation experiences.

However, the value of a magic formula that was perfected by Abe Seimei himself would increase countless times. Especially today, hundreds of years later, this magic formula becomes even more valuable. After all, things are rare and valuable.

For the current Hanbei, even a basic magic formula is enough, because what he lacks is not power, what he lacks is the foundation and control. He has gained such a powerful power rashly, which is not good for him. This is totally a good thing.

Hanbei's top priority right now is to control the energy escaping from his body and make him look like an ordinary person as much as possible. Otherwise, anyone who has practiced some magic or an intermediate to advanced monster will be able to notice something strange about him. .

Hanbei Takenaka became more and more moved immediately. If Nagamasa Asai hadn't stopped him there, he might have prostrated himself directly in the dirt under his feet.

Seeing this scene, Axiu couldn't help but flash a trace of envy and longing on her face. This was the friendship she had longed for. This was a feeling she would never have if she lived in seclusion in the forest. Perhaps, she should continue to follow them for a while longer. time?
But Axiu's expression was not even seen by Tokichiro next to her, because his attention was on other aspects.

He noticed that a layer of fine beads of sweat quickly appeared on Hanbei's forehead and palms.

Is it because of excitement?

Fujikiro doesn't think so, because he knows that most people usually only behave like this when they are extremely nervous, fearful or guilty.

Master Asai is now giving gifts to the other party, so fear is out of the question, but would such a young and talented young master of the Takenaka family become nervous so easily?Even if that gift seems very precious!

Of course not, so the most likely reason is that he has a guilty conscience, which is why he behaves like this.

Combined with the conversation between the two people, Tokichiro felt that he seemed to understand something, but should he tell Mr. Asai later?
No, maybe Asai-sama already understood
