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

Chapter 84 Gift from Qiao Ji

At this time, Axiu made a sweeping sweep, knocking Hashihime down into the mud pit on the ground. Originally, Hachisuka Koroku and Kato Danzo rushed over at almost the same time, trapping him on the left and right, trying to give him some relief. fatal blow.

Asai Nagamasa immediately stopped her: "Wait a minute, please spare her life for now and just control her!"

After hearing this, Kato Danzo immediately changed his strategy. With a shake of his hands, two translucent silk threads instantly wrapped Hashihime's hands and wrists several times. As soon as Hashihime moved, a series of strings appeared on the silk threads. The blood beads are obviously extremely sharp.

Although Haizuka Xiaoliu seemed to be dissatisfied, after saying "cut", he finally chose to cooperate. He directly wrapped the iron lock in the middle of his weapon around Hashihime's neck several times, so that the bridge would Ji really couldn't think about it, and his brute force was enough to strangle the opponent's neck directly.

Seeing their actions, Qiao Ji suddenly didn't know where her thoughts were going. She was obviously panicked: "You hateful men, what do you want to do to me?"

Hachisuka Koroku was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, and even winked at Asai Nagamasa, obviously he might have misunderstood something.

But it's no wonder that even though Qiao Ji is missing an eye, even though her face is hideous and terrifying, she has a pair of horns on her forehead, and her body is stained with blood, even with her current appearance, she can still be regarded as a rare beauty. .

There is no way, because of the years of war, there is a serious lack of food in Nibon. Many people can't even fill their stomachs. Naturally, it is difficult to raise many beauties.

This situation is especially serious among civilians, and only those samurai families with relatively prosperous lives can have some decent beauties.

Of course, Axiu is an exception among exceptions. She has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests since she was a child. She has not even killed many monsters. She has probably eaten all those wild beasts, so she is not lacking in nutrition at all. .

Haizuka Xiaoliu couldn't help but tease: "So this Asai-sama, what should we do to her next?"

Asai Nagamasa was not surprised at all that the other party knew his origin. After all, Kato Danzo who fell into the water before was probably rescued by him.

Including Axiu and Hashihime, everyone's attention was gathered. They were all waiting for Asai Nagamasa's actions and his judgment on Hashihime's fate.

Asai Nagamasa shrugged: "Actually, it doesn't entirely depend on me, it also depends on herself. Seal the spirit!"

A soft light bloomed from the small box in Asai Nagamasa's hand. Hashihime, who had just regained some composure, suddenly began to twist violently, completely ignoring the silk threads wrapped around her hands and the iron lock around her neck. Several streams of blood spurted out at the same time.

Hachisuka Koroku and Kato Danzo involuntarily relaxed the movements of their hands, because they were afraid that if they exerted a little force, they would kill each other completely, and something was obviously abnormal now.

However, after seeing this situation, Asai Nagamasa felt that there was something wrong. This sealing box, which was made by Abe Seimei himself, had several powerful abilities after he repaired it.

In addition to sealing monsters, it can also be used as a space-type device to load inanimate objects, allowing shikigami with energy bodies to temporarily inhabit them.

As for its last function, it can store or absorb some special powers that ordinary people cannot touch at all, that is, the power of various invisible emotions.

Negative emotions such as death, resentment, fear, and resentment have always been considered the cause of the birth of monsters and the source of their power.

However, after special spells, they can also be transformed into real power. They can usually be used as auxiliary materials to summon certain shikigami or cast evil spells. Asai Nagamasa also found the corpses of innocent people on the roadside before. I have collected some.

On the other hand, if the various negative emotions in the monsters can be extracted, can these monsters become less evil?
Abe Seimei once had such questions in his later years, and initially figured out something. The spirit-sealing box was a special product in this situation, but he did not have enough time to verify this question at the time.

And now, Asai Nagamasa wants to put it into practice himself to see if Abe Seimei's immature theory is really useful!
Facts have proved that Abe Seimei’s original guess was correct.

As Asai Nagamasa continued to transfer mana, streaks of grey-green, ominous smoke began to be forcibly sucked out of Hashihime's body, and then dispersed into various primitive emotions, and then sealed into the spirit-sealing box. , and Qiao Ji's mood, which was originally crazy, gradually stabilized.

In the end, the green horns on her forehead were slowly fading away, and she no longer struggled to resist, and just allowed Asai Nagamasa to cast his spell.

Finally, about half a quarter of an hour later, with a shrill scream, a green skull-shaped mist was forcibly grabbed out of Hashihime's body by Asai Nagamasa, even though it was sealed in the spirit box in the blink of an eye. The power was completely broken up and sealed, but Asai Nagamasa could still feel the strong negative emotions contained in it.

Ordinary people might go crazy just by looking at it. It's no wonder that under its influence, Hashihime would look like that.

Qiao Ji instantly collapsed to the ground, seemingly losing most of her strength.

But now she looked at everyone, especially Asai Nagamasa, no longer full of hatred and resentment, but full of gratitude.

Suddenly, she burst into tears, sobbing and crying: "This respected human warrior, thank you very much for saving my life."

Hearing this, Haizuka Koroku and others nearby looked at each other in shock. They didn't know why Hashihime suddenly changed her attitude, but soon they all thought that Hashihime's change must be inseparable from the things that were taken out. Open a relationship.

Those dirty, smoke-like things made them feel very uncomfortable just looking at them.

However, Asai Nagamasa had no time to explain to them for the time being, because he keenly noticed that Hashihime's body was emitting an extremely weak light, and her body seemed to be gradually fading!

He immediately realized something: "Qiao Ji, who gave you this token and those pills made from spiritual stones?"

Qiao Ji heard this and wiped the tears on her face. After thinking for a few seconds while holding her forehead, she finally shook her head helplessly.

"I'm very sorry, sir. I only remember that a man dressed as a walking monk gave them to me. The token allows me to control low-level water monsters such as kappa and those water ghosts. The pill can restore my mana and physical strength."

"But I can't remember exactly what he looked like, whether he was a boy or a girl, what he said to me, or whether he was a human being."

"Before I was really awakened by you, my heart was full of hatred. I eagerly wanted to kill all the men who passed by. But I didn't expect that the first man I met was a brave warrior like you. .”

The implication is that she didn't actually kill anyone. "nonsense!"

The kappa half-demon next to him, Suga Koroku, immediately categorically objected: "The legend of evil spirits killing people here has been circulating for more than ten years. The bones on the bridge are proof!"

Hashihime's expression darkened immediately, and then she managed to regain her composure: "As Hashihime, as a member of the gods of Takamagahara, it is my duty to protect the travelers crossing the bridge. The tragic deaths of these innocent people are indeed caused by my concubine." personal responsibility.”

"But they were indeed not killed by me, because the mysterious walking monk just woke me up from the darkness two days ago."

"The people who originally occupied this place were those man-eating water ghosts."

Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but frown more and more when he heard this: "You mean, wake up? What were you doing before you were awakened?"

Qiao Ji shook her head in confusion: "I don't remember."

"Except for Qiao Ji's duties and abilities, the concubine's memory is only the two days after she was awakened. The original concubine should be sleeping?"

At this time, whether it was Asai Nagamasa himself, or Axiu, Hachisuka Koroku, Kato Danzo and others, they all couldn't help but fell into silence for a while.

Nibon claims to have 800 million gods. If they all existed like Bridge Princess and just fell asleep for unknown reasons before, then after they wake up, they will bring Nibon, who is already in war, How much chaos and death will come?

Not all gods represent good intentions. Among them, the cruel and murderous ones are no different from monsters. Not to mention the 800 million gods. Even to accommodate 800 million farmers, a very, very broad territory is needed!
"Ah, I'm sorry for causing trouble to you, but I'm afraid I can no longer accompany you all."

Hearing this, Haizuka Xiaoliu immediately tightened the chains in his hands. He didn't want to let the opponent go so quickly. His kappas had been enslaved by the opponent for several days and suffered heavy casualties in the battle just now. He wanted to do it again. Let’s settle accounts with the other party!

However, with such force on his hands, he was surprised to find that the chain did not touch anything. It actually slipped directly through the air, and Hashihime, who was supposed to be bound inside, was not only glowing outwards, but also It had become translucent, and he could even directly see the flowers and plants on the ground behind her through her chest!

At this time, Kato Duanzo suddenly lowered his head slightly, and bowed to Hashihime: "Sorry, Hashihime-sama, I was rude before!"

Qiao Ji waved her hand, with a slight smile on her face: "It doesn't matter, if it weren't for your help, I might have continued to fall into that kind of madness, and that would be really bad."

Hachisuka Koroku glanced at Kato Danzo in surprise. He didn't know why he suddenly changed his attitude, but soon his attention was attracted by the light blooming in front of him, which came from On Qiao Ji's body.

A translucent spirit body broke away from her original broken body. The tears on her face and the mud and blood on her body were quickly fading away. Even the eyes that were blinded before did not know when they would reopen. Recovered.

At this moment, Qiao Ji was dignified and beautiful, no longer as ferocious as before. Her translucent body was emitting light while slowly rising into the air.

This scene was like a miracle. No wonder Kato Danzo would take the initiative to apologize to her. Who hurt her the most before?He is probably also afraid that the other party will retaliate in the future, right?
Strangely enough, after Hashihime's spirit body flew into the air, the damaged body she left behind turned into water and melted into the earth in the blink of an eye, leaving only her blood-stained clothes. .

Asai Nagamasa suddenly felt his body shake violently, and unprecedented power poured into his body, which even made him feel that every muscle and bone in his body was screaming.

While trying to endure it, he couldn't help but wonder again. Obviously Qiao Ji still existed, but only her body died, but he had gained strength. What were the rules for judgment?
Could it be that it's not just about killing and dying?

Qiao Ji ascended faster and faster, and her body became more and more transparent, and soon she almost merged with the air.

The group of people just watched Qiao Ji fly higher and higher quietly. Although there were many wounds on her body, and although there were many secrets behind this matter, it was a worthwhile trip for them to be able to see the god return to heaven with their own eyes.

But suddenly, Qiao Ji's movements stopped, as if she had encountered something incredible. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened wide.

Asai Nagamasa couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly: "Miss Hashihime, did you encounter any difficulties?"

This was the first time he saw the legendary god, and he wanted to see how he returned to the god's residence, Takamagahara, but now something unexpected seemed to have happened?

"Ah, no, no."

Qiao Ji shook her hands in a slight panic, and then she forced a smile: "I just suddenly remembered, and I haven't repaid your kindness to all of you."

She stretched out her hand and pointed at a certain river beach, where an aqua-blue light suddenly flashed away.

"There are some treasures that floated down the river, as well as some pearl agate and other items that are special to the river. Let's take them as my parting gifts."

After calming down, Hashihime seemed to have suddenly made some decision. She held her heart in both hands and recited something silently. Then she saw a flash of light, and an extremely mysterious energy flew towards Asai Nagamasa, and quickly turned into a water-blue spell.

"Master Asai, thank you very much for liberating me from chaos. This is a gift from me. Although it is not worth mentioning, it also represents my heart and can protect you a little. I hope you can accept it. "

Asai Nagamasa took a look and didn't find any clues, so he took it directly: "Then thank you Miss Hashihime for your kindness."

He wanted to know what the gift from Qiao Ji would be.

With a flash of light, the aqua-blue talisman was attached to his wrist. He immediately noticed a faint water power pouring out of it, restoring the physical strength he had lost before and relieving his fatigue. Although It's not obvious, but it's there, and it's a really nice gift.

Seeing Asai Nagamasa so happy, Hashihime immediately seemed extremely happy, and then she winked at Asai Nagamasa mischievously: "Sir, I feel an extraordinary power from you, I hope you can See you again in Takamagahara~"
