Samsara Paradise: Shadow King

Chapter 11 The Hirata Family

The shadow fire swordsman's sword was wrapped in flames, and the shadow martyr's hands stretched out their sharp claws. They attacked the lonely shadow crowd from two directions at the same time.

The Lone Shadows rose into the air again, spinning their waists with force, and struck them with two legs like whips, kicking them away. Then, as Zhao Zijin stared at him with wide eyes and disbelief, Gu Yingzhong paused in the air for a moment, identified his position, and launched another swift attack.

Tone used the [Venom Surge] skill, his body swelled up like it was inflated, and he raised his big hand to smack the Lone Shadows!

The Gu Yingzhong used the Mist Crow again, and Toney's palm only caught a cloud of black smoke that quickly dissipated and a few crow feathers. At this time, the Gu Yingzhong was about to approach Zhao Zijin again.

[Hand of the Dominator]! ! !

Gu Yingzhong felt a force pushing towards him. His steps stagnated, and the shadow warrior caught up with him and punched him in the back.

He fell out. Just as the two shadow rebels raised their sticks and wanted to smash them down, he ran away with the fog crow again. This time he moved to a branch not far away, preparing to regroup and attack again. St. Paul But at this moment it fell from his head.

St. Paul's five fingers formed into claws, and they intersected with Gu Yingzhong's sword in the air, and a spark burst out. The Guyings fell down under the force, and Tuo Nei jumped up at the right time, and with a Shenglong Fist, the clear sound of bone cracking was heard. The Guyings were like balls, they just fell and bounced up to the sky.

The Lone Shadows knew something was wrong, so they waved their hands and fired a few shurikens, trying to force away the shadow soldiers who came forward. Unexpectedly, they did not dodge, but took the damage from the shurikens and hit him with sticks. Several times.

"Oh!"

The Lone Shadows want to use the fog crow to escape, but it's not that easy! Zhao Zijin suddenly grabbed hold of him as he showed his figure, and the power of [Hand of Dominator] instantly controlled him. By the time he broke away, it was already too late. The attacks of Saint Paul, Shadow Fire Swordsman, and Shadow Martyr were approaching. .

Blocking with their swords, Gu Yingzhong only blocked the flaming sword slashes and sharp claws digging out his heart. St. Paul's hand pressed on his face and forcefully tore off a large piece of flesh.

"what!!!"

Each finger of St. Paul's armor is barbed. When those sharp fingertips pierce the body, they will definitely be accompanied by the pain of tearing flesh and blood. That is not pleasant!

The Lone Shadows howled miserably and backed away, covering their faces. The Shadow Fire Swordsman took two steps forward, dragging the flaming sword light to kill him!

[Hint: You killed Gu Yingzhong]

[Gu Yingzhong is an elite enemy and has obtained 2.2% of the source of the world. Now it has obtained a total of 2.2% of the source of the world. 】

[It is detected that the treasure chest is dropped. Should you activate the talent "Blood Nutrient"? 】

[The talent "Blood Nutrient" has not been activated, you have obtained a treasure chest (green)]

Zhao Zijin did not use his talent to absorb attribute points. Of course, he deliberately wanted to transform this lonely shadow into a shadow soldier. The strength shown by this guy shocked him.

"stand up!"

The Gu Yingzhong who was transformed into a shadow soldier here did not lose his original swordsmanship and leg skills, but the corresponding level was reduced and was not displayed as a skill. The same goes for St. Paul. In the comics, he can also skillfully use sword-like weapons, but most of the time he fights with bare hands.

Witnessing Zhao Zijin's act of "enslaving the dead" with their own eyes, the three Wei Mingzong looked at him even more wrongly. They did not take action directly this time, thanks to the improvement of their charm attributes.

"After all, I am the benefactor who saved you from the dilemma of life and death. Wouldn't pointing a knife at me like this reflect the demeanor of a Hirata family warrior?"

The three Wei Mingzhong looked at each other, then sheathed the sword in their hands, bowed deeply to Zhao Zijin, and said:

"Thank you for your help! Please forgive me for being rude! I wonder if the Hirata family can know your name?"

"Boss, please arrange a reasonable identity for me." Zhao Zijin thought silently in his heart.

[Identity: A traveling magician, cost: 100 paradise coins. 】

"Thank you, boss!"    A well-known identity in this world can make Zhao Zijin's process of joining the camp smoother. 100 Paradise Coins is just 100 Paradise Coins, spend it!

"I am the traveling magician Renkaji, chasing the traces of the special-grade curse spirit Gojo Satoru. When passing through this place, the three of you were surrounded by gangsters, so I rescued one or two. As for these, they are just controlled by me. It’s just a curse spirit!”

It is recorded in "Youyang Zazu" of the Tang Dynasty that people have nine shadows, each with its own name: the first is Youhuang, the second is Zhenshi, the third is Xiejieshu, the fourth is Chifu, the fifth is Suoguan, and the sixth is Ponu. , the seventh day is called Zaozao, the eighth day is called Hai Lingtai, and the ninth day is called "Hai Lingtai". All the fish are eaten without distinction, and later generations call it "Hua Ji" (also called "Su Ling" in some documents).

Zhao Zijin actually considered calling himself "Hei Zhou" for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up. You can't be too naughty, and when put together with "White Night", it looks a bit like a couple's name.

Then he thought about calling him "Emperor", simple, direct and domineering! But this name has too many causes and effects. If you are not careful, you may get welded to the toilet and become unable to get in and out of it.

Finally, after reading the literature, the title "Human Festival" was decided upon.

"It turns out to be the Great Master of the Renhua Festival! The Master's name is so well-known that we, the head of the Hirata family, have admired the Master for a long time. I wonder if we can invite the Master to come to the mansion to talk to us so that the three of us can thank the Master!"

The leader, Wei Mingzhong, spoke in a respectful tone, and his attitude was at a suitable level, making it difficult for people to feel bored.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

Thirteen people took advantage of the chaos and left, but they still chose to join the ["bandits"] camp. Zhao Zijin showed great strength, but still could not make up for the gap between the two camps.

Under the leadership of Wei Mingzhong, everyone returned to the Hirata mansion. On the way, Zhao Zijin learned that the leader of the samurai was named Kawauchi Heizang. He had been a retainer of the Hirata family since his grandfather's generation. This time he came out and was honored. Under the orders of the Hirata family, they came to suppress the bandits who were causing trouble.

"I don't know why, but they have been going down the mountain to rob more and more frequently recently, and their targets are constantly approaching us. Many people in the family think that this is them testing the bottom line of the Hirata family. If they don't do anything, then There will definitely be worse provocations.”

"So the head of the family sent us retainers and warriors out to wipe out the bandits. I didn't expect that the inner government was involved behind this. I must inform the head of the family about this as soon as possible."

The scenery along the way is quite beautiful, and the mind feels particularly relaxed while walking. Pingtian's mansion is located on the bank of Longquan River and is surrounded by mountains. There is only one road for large groups of people to enter and exit.

But even such an environment that was easy to defend and difficult to attack was still broken by the "bandits". On the river surface that originally reflected the pavilions and pavilions, only the shadow of burning flames could be seen.

The shadow soldiers once again successfully caused a commotion. The Hirata family's warriors set up a formation at the gate, watching them warily. Some of them believed in Buddhism and chanted scriptures for protection and exorcism.

"Don't be rude! This is the Great Master of Renhua Festival and a distinguished guest of our Hirata family!"

Kawauchi Heizang smiled awkwardly at Zhao Zijin, quickly ran to the guarding warrior and whispered something. The warrior looked at him in surprise, turned around and ran towards the door.

Kawauchi Heizang led them in. Behind the first door was a wooden truss bridge spanning the river. It was long and wide without any obstruction. If a group of people were arranged on the opposite side of the bridge to defend with bows and arrows or muskets, the enemy would be It would be impossible to survive without several times the number of people.

Behind the second door is Residence Street, with watchtowers and stables on the left, and residential areas for low-level retainers and samurai, as well as tenant farmers and servants of the Hirata family, on the right.

Going up to the third gate, this place is divided into four areas, which are the Buddhist hall, chicken coop, warehouse and residences of some senior retainers, warriors and family branch members.

Then there is the bamboo forest slope. Jinming bamboo, which is extremely rare in other places, is planted on both sides here. There are also bamboos that are more precious than it. If this was converted into money, I'm afraid it could directly supply an army. No wonder the bandits in the game cut down these bamboos.

I have to admire the profound heritage of the Hirata family! Just to install an elegant viewing place in the mansion, so much effort was spent!

Finally, there is another bridge. After passing it, you go up the steps. Yoshihiro Hirata, the head of the Hirata family, is already waiting in the middle hall.

　I am very grateful to the book friend [Don’t Get Cold] for the suggestion of the name of the protagonist. However, considering that it is a little inappropriate to give an English name like "KING" in a world with a background of Japan's Warring States Period, I finally chose "Human Matsuri".

　　New author thanks everyone for your support!
