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

Chapter 85
Before Asai Nagamasa could reply, Hashihime had completely disappeared, leaving only a series of crisp laughter.

At the same time, Asai Nagamasa was also shocked, because he suddenly heard a woman's scream, a crisp bird song, and a faint roar, which were the sounds coming from his body and soul!
Axiu noticed this situation immediately, but Haizuka Koryu and Kato Danzo next to him did not notice it. They just looked at Hashihime's last words.

Takamagahara is the residence of the gods, and now Hashihime says she hopes to see Asai Nagamasa in Takamagahara. Doesn’t that mean she thinks Asai Nagamasa has the possibility of becoming a god?
"Although things were slightly twists and turns, the result was good. Thank you two adults for helping me."

Asai Nagamasa, who had almost figured out what was going on, temporarily suppressed his inner smile and bowed his hands towards the two men.

Naturally, the two of them hurriedly gave in. In the previous battle, they had roughly seen Asai Nagamasa's martial arts and knew that he was proficient in magic. Now that he has been recognized by Hashihime in disguise, it shows that he is definitely an outstanding person with a bright future. warrior.

Moreover, he is also the young master of the Asai family, the overlord of Kitaomi. Of course they want to make friends with such a man!

Several men were polite to each other, while Axiu ran to where Qiao Ji was originally, ignoring the mud and blood on the ground, rummaging around for something, and seemed to have found something soon.

The angle that Hachisuka Koroku was standing at happened to see this scene, and his eyes suddenly became a little strange. He was obviously a warrior Hime who followed the young master of the Asai family and had a great future, but he turned out to be rummaging around in the dirt. , How greedy for money must this be?
Asai Nagamasa soon noticed this, but he didn't take it seriously. Xiaoliu didn't understand Axiu, how could he understand it?

Axiu probably doesn't even have the concept of money in her eyes. She didn't have access to that thing when she was living in seclusion in the forest. The reason why she does this now is [-]% because her collecting addiction has taken hold.

He simply introduced her formally: "Her name is Axiu, and she is my companion. I am Asai Nagamasa, the young master of the Asai family, and I am currently traveling around the world."

"Haha, I am Habisuka Koroku, the leader of the Kawabi clan. As you can see, I am a heterogeneous person with monster blood."

Having said that, Hachisuka Koryu doesn't seem to feel inferior at all because of his blood, but is rather proud of it.

But it's no wonder that the monster's bloodline not only gave him a thick carapace on his back, but also gave him bonuses in strength, agility and physical strength. Even his recovery speed after being injured was obviously beyond Normally, the wound caused by Qiao Ji's water arrow had already scabbed after only a short while.

In this chaotic Warring States period, he lived much better than most people.

"Kato Danzo, an unknown ninja from Hitachi."

The ninja, whose face was still a little pale due to injuries and blood loss, introduced himself very modestly, but no one would really think so.

Known as Tobi Kato, although he is not famous, he is extremely mysterious.

No one has ever known his origins, origins, and achievements, but he has gained a certain reputation inexplicably, which in itself somewhat illustrates his abilities.

Even though he was from Hitachi, Asai Nagamasa had heard of him for the first time.

You must know that Hitachi is not very close from here. To get to Hitachi from here, they need to cross Owari, Mikawa, Toe, Suruga, Sagami, Musashi, Shimoso and other countries that belong to different daimyo territories before finally arriving. Located in the Hitachi region southeast of Nippon.

Kato Danzo ran from Hitachi to the central part of Nippon, and moved around Ise, Omi, Mino and other areas, which can be regarded as leaving his hometown.

But it’s no wonder that Hitachi is too remote, and all kinds of supplies are relatively poor. No matter what, there is no chance to win the world. Probably because of knowing this, the battles near the Hitachi area are both large and small. In terms of intensity, it is far inferior to the battle between the many daimyos centered on Kyoto-Nijo Castle.

A capable and ambitious guy like Kato Danzo would definitely not be willing to stay in that kind of place.

Hachisuka Xiaoliu laughed boldly and said: "Haha, Kato, you are too humble. At least among the ninjas I know, there is no one who can compare with you."

"On the other hand, Mr. Asai, why do you, the Asai family, have such power as you, but you keep hiding it, and have been suppressed by the Rokkaku family many times? Could it be that the family governor is not as rumored by the outside world, but has other agendas?"

Asai Nagamasa smiled and shook his head: "This is a power that only belongs to me. The family leader doesn't know about it, and he is indeed not good at war. Because the family leader and I have some opinions and differences, I went out to travel after Yuan server. Such as As you can see, I should be considered a famous ronin now."

"But fortunately, I accidentally obtained some inheritance from Qingming Gong, which may come in handy in the future."

Having said this, Asai Nagamasa pointed to his samurai uniform, indicating that it did not have any family crest that represented his Asai family identity.

But the two men didn't believe this statement at all. How stupid could they be to let such an outstanding warrior wander outside?
It's just a slight conflict between father and son. I believe that as long as the other party returns to Xiaogucheng, he will still be the aloof young master.

But the inheritance of Qingming Gong
Haizuka Xiaoliu couldn't help but stand in awe for a moment, and even adjusted his posture unconsciously.

There is no way, the reputation of the Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei is too loud, and his experiences are extremely legendary, so even after hundreds of years, there is still a popular saying in many areas: "I don't know Minamoto Yoshitsune, but I know it" Mr. Qingming."

Even people who have never heard of Kamakura War God Gen Yoshitsune often know the name of the Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei.

Especially for Haesuka Koroku, who has half-demon blood, the name Abe Seimei has special meaning, because Seimei is the first recorded person with half-demon blood in history. According to legend, he is The son of the white fox.The most important companions of Onmyojis, Shikigami, except for a small number of ghosts and gods summoned from the netherworld, and a small number of Onmyojis created by themselves, most of the remaining Shikigami are originally monsters. This is also Abe Seimei initially organized it systematically.

As the top legend among Onmyoji, even if hundreds of years have passed since his time, it is normal for some legends to still be spread among youkai.

At this time, Axiu also came back with his trophies, but apart from less than 100 taels of gold and silver and a small pile of pearl agate, there was only one thing that Asai Nagamasa really liked, and that was what Hashihime had once said. The pill I took.

After a little hands-on inspection, Asai Nagamasa found that it was indeed a spirit stone, but not only was the appearance ground into a round pill shape, but more importantly, he felt a strong negative aura from it, just like he just The aura forcibly collected from Hashihime's body was just like the horse face of Shisan Sakura Village that day.

No wonder Qiao Ji's body's monster content would increase rapidly after taking these so-called "elixirs". She might have been plotted once when she was awakened, and she was plotted again after taking them. How could he not transform into a monster?
He couldn't help but sigh softly: "Sure enough, it's these guys again, Axiu, thank you."

Haizuka Xiaoliu and Kato Danzo looked at each other, and both felt that the matter seemed a bit serious.

Both of them pride themselves on having special abilities and are not ordinary people, but a situation like today has been rare for them for decades. And from what Asai Nagamasa meant, this doesn't seem to be the first case?
So Haizuka Koroku, who has a straightforward personality, asked directly, and Asai Nagamasa didn't hide anything. He briefly talked about the events of Jusan Sakura Village.

The faces of the two men suddenly became more serious, and they did not doubt the authenticity of the matter.

On the one hand, it was out of trust in Asai Nagamasa. On the other hand, although Jusanzakura Village was still some distance away from here, it was an entire village after all. All the people were killed by monsters, and even the village was eventually destroyed. Asai Nagamasa was burned to the ground. That was no small matter. It was only a matter of time before it reached here. There was no need to lie at all.

"By the way, Lord Hazusuka, I also met Lord Maeno Nagayasu on the way to the castle town."

"Oh? Mr. Asai actually met him? Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a few days. Since we are all acquaintances, I will treat you to a drink if I have the chance."

Asai Nagamasa smiled and nodded: "Of course there is no problem. But I'm afraid his current condition is not very good, because when I met him, he was being chased by monsters. He was a ghost under the command of a tiger monster."

Haizuka Xiaoliu's face suddenly became serious: "Is he okay now?"

"Well, Axiu and I killed all those demons, but the brothers he brought with him were all unfortunately killed. In order to prevent them from being transformed into demons, we had to burn all their bodies in the end."

Fengsuhe Xiaoliu gritted his teeth for a while, but then he could only sigh: "Anyway, I would like to thank Master Asai and Master Axiu for their help. It is also the luck of Changkang to meet you."

Although the appearance of the tiger monster in Nibon puzzled him because there were no monsters in Nibon, at least they had all heard the story of working for the tiger.

"Hmph, it seems that when I was tracking the missing kappa, some blind guy took advantage of it and came to cause trouble. If I catch it, I must make it look good!"

Hachisuka Koroku was a little aggrieved. Maeno Nagayasu was his most respected brother. Their Kawabami clan had developed to the present level and had a lot to do with Nagayasu. How could he just sit back and ignore it? ?
Kato Danzo, who had been silent and just listening quietly, couldn't help but sigh: "It seems like the world may not be peaceful again."

Although the war in Nibon has been going on for hundreds of years, in these more than 100 years, there have been very few real incidents of demons harming people. Most of them were bandits and water bandits under the guise of their name.

But now, in just a few days, there have been several incidents about real demons, which is not a good sign.

"Yes, the long-term war has produced too much blood and death. The pain and resentment not only torture us humans, but also awaken and give birth to terrible monsters. I'm afraid this is just the beginning."

This is not Asai Nagamasa's random nonsense, but the result of Abe Seimei's research after spending a lot of time. All kinds of negative emotions can not only turn originally kind humans or monsters into evil, but also can, under certain conditions, out of thin air Create new monsters.

Which is more terrifying, the human heart or the devil?
Of course, both are terrible, but the human heart that can give birth to demons is more terrible than both.

Hashihime has never been a god known for her power. In legends, she is often seen as a resentful woman who turns from love to hate because she was betrayed by a man, and is hostile to all men.

But it was Hashihime like this who beat so many of them into a panic. If Asai Nagamasa hadn't used a strategy to lure the opponent into the unfavorable forest, the final result of this battle would still be unknown.

Fortunately, they usually consider themselves strong, but when facing lower-level gods like Hashihime, they are still seriously at a disadvantage.

If more and more demons appear in Nibon, strong people like them may be able to survive, but ordinary civilians will suffer.

Although they were not compassionate people, their hearts gradually sank when they thought about the possible dark future.

If the continuous war has created opportunities for the rise of samurai and ninjas, but demons, they will only bring killing and death!
