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

Chapter 103 Tokichiro’s Letter

After chatting for a while, Asai Nagamasa learned that Oda Nobunaga had repeatedly claimed in the past few years that he would personally go to defeat monsters, but no one had ever believed it. Instead, they thought "Owari the Fool" was even more crazy. It's serious.

Now Maeda Keiji also realizes that not only monsters are likely to exist, but they are also so close to them, so with his own BMW and red spear, can he really defeat those legendary monsters?

Even though he was extremely proud of his martial arts, he did not dare to boast so much, but then he became more and more excited and even happy. If monsters and ghosts did exist, then the peak of martial arts would be far higher than he imagined. Much more!
At this time, there were light footsteps nearby. Asai Nagamasa turned around and found Axiu walking over with a letter in his hand. He immediately knew that something had changed.

As expected, this letter came from Tokichiro. Tokichiro first expressed his gratitude to Asai Nagamasa for his important role in Koichiro. He happened to meet his brother and mother on the road who were rushing towards Kotani Castle, and then he expressed his request. , that is, he wants to ask Axiu to help him fight against the monsters in Chuilu Mountain.

Chuilu Mountain was once a well-known mine. Although after years of excavation, there is not much ore contained in it, but many blacksmiths still choose to live in the mountain, and gradually even formed a small village, attracting many nearby people. It is also a relatively famous place where samurai go to order and purchase weapons.

According to Saito Douzan's order, Tokichiro follows Saito Rizo and will work with Saito family general Akechi Mitsuhide to handle matters related to the spiritual stones on Fukiro Mountain.

After a difficult battle against those Shikijiro, they encountered greater trouble. A monster that seemed to be made of smoke blocked their way, and it had killed many innocent blacksmiths and ronin.

Although Akechi Mitsuhide and Saito Toshizo showed special powers that were suspected to be Onmyoji, they still had nothing to do with each other, and many ashigaru and samurai were killed instead.

He didn't dare to ask Asai Nagamasa to personally take action, he just wanted A Xiu to help him.
"Onmyoji? It should have something to do with Saito Dosan, right?"

Asai Nagamasa was not particularly surprised by this. After all, he had already realized this when he was in Lushan Castle before.

"But, a monster made of smoke? Could it be Yanyanluo? That would be easy to deal with."

Monsters like Yanyanra are recorded in Abe Seimei's inheritance. They are usually made of bituminous coal, flames and mist, plus spiritual power.

There are many blacksmiths in Chuilu Mountain who forge weapons all day long. There are many stoves, and smoke is naturally inevitable. It is naturally conducive to the birth and survival of Yanyanluo.

Since Yanyanluo's body is smoke plus a little flame, it has no real entity, but is half virtual and half real. For ordinary people, it is difficult for their attacks to cause effective damage to Yanyanluo.

On the contrary, regardless of whether it uses smoke or flames, Yanyanluo can easily kill a large number of humans. No matter how many ordinary Ashigaru are there, it does not mean much to it. It only increases casualties. At first glance, it still seems It can really be considered a difficult monster to deal with.

Unfortunately, although Yan Yanluo looks very difficult to deal with on the surface, Yan Yanluo's weakness is also extremely obvious, that is, he is extremely afraid of attacks from water spells. Even if ordinary people pour a few buckets of water on Yan Yanluo, they may cause him damage. Some damage.

In addition to water defeating fire, the most important thing is that after encountering a water attack, its incorporeal body will be forcibly transformed into a physical entity in a short period of time, changing from the original smoke shape to a large pile of soot, and it has also been poured with water. kind of.

It is very fragile at this time, and ordinary swords and guns can also cause a lot of damage to it. Even three or five elite warriors can kill it.

He is very powerful before his weakness is discovered, but once his weakness is discovered, he dies very quickly. Therefore, no big monster with a name has been born among the monsters of Yan Yanluo. The weakness is too obvious.

But Fukiroyama, isn't this where the blacksmith from Ise Country whom I met on the road, Senko Muramasa, wants to go?

From this point of view, the old man is really unlucky. I don't know if he will be in trouble. If he does encounter misfortune, then the deposit he paid before will probably be in vain.

But it doesn't really matter, that little money doesn't matter at all, and he also got a spear from Saito Dozo, so he has no shortage of weapons for the time being.

Therefore, even if Tokichiro wrote the letter himself, Asai Nagamasa had no intention of returning at all. Fukiroyama is located in Mino, which was not something he had to consider in the first place, not to mention Saito Douzan's old poisonous snake has not yet taken action. !

But it wouldn't be good if she ignored her at all. Axiu probably wanted to help Tokichiro. After all, Tokichiro had done a lot to help her when she was affected by the evil spirit.

And after staying in Qingzhou City for several days, she had nothing to do. She only had to eat and go shopping all day long. She was probably a little tired of it, right?
Thinking of this, Asai Nagamasa first wrote a reply to inform the other party of Yan Yanluo's weakness, and then he took out a bunch of aqua-colored talismans from the sealing box.

"Axiu, is the person who reported the message still there?"

After receiving a positive answer, he directly handed the two things to the other party: "This is a special charm for Onmyoji. Since Mitsuhide Akechi and Rizo Saito know Onmyoji, they can definitely stimulate their power."

"With these things, Tokichiro and the others can deal with that Yan Yanluo. As for us, we are about to go to Jie Town and Kyoto, and we don't have time to help him at the moment."

When Asai Nagamasa turned his head, he saw Maeda Keiji staring at the water spell in A Xiu's hand without even blinking. He thought he had not yet seen this series of surprising information. Wake up.

After thinking about it, Asai Nagamasa simply said directly: "Axiu, I would like to find an opportunity to teach you some onmyoji. Are you willing to learn?"

As the most famous half-demon, Abe Seimei became the number one onmyoji in Nippon. So does Axiu, who is also a half-demon, have enough potential?Axiu blinked and then nodded in agreement. In fact, along the way, she was also very curious about the various spells performed by Asai Nagamasa.

Seeing Axiu nodding, Asai Nagamasa was also very happy. He then turned to look beside him: "Keiji-kun, if you are interested, you might as well come and listen together."

Anyway, it's just some introductory knowledge. He is not worried about the magic being spread, and if the other party is really interested and can learn it, it would be good for him to accept a new apprentice.

Maeda Keiji's eyes widened and he looked very shocked: "Ah? Can I do it too?"

Asai Nagamasa smiled slightly, looking extremely free and easy: "Of course, we are friends after all, aren't we?"

Maeda Keiji subconsciously wanted to nod in agreement, but he was just halfway through this action. He who had never cared about everything, for the first time rarely hesitated.

Because he deeply knows what this means. Once he agrees, it means that he will owe the other party a huge favor and will violate his uncle's warning.

But then Maeda Keiji smiled and directly chose to agree. After all, he had never listened to his uncle's warnings since he was a child!
After Axiu sent off the messenger, Asai Nagamasa simply started teaching directly, but after only half a quarter of an hour, Maeda Keiji regretted it.

Because although he could understand every word Asai Nagamasa said, when these words were combined, he couldn't understand it at all. He immediately knew that he owed a huge favor in vain.

However, he still chose to continue. Even if he couldn't truly learn Onmyoji, he could remember as much as he could. There is never too much knowledge.

On the contrary, Axiu listened attentively, and her excellence even exceeded Asai Nagamasa's imagination, because less than half an hour later, under his guidance, she successfully used a trace of magic power to drive Asai. The charm prepared by Nagamasa in advance.

Based on the talent she has shown, if she is given another half month, I am afraid she will be able to do simple manufacturing herself.

This is no longer a question of whether the talent is good or not. No matter how good the talent is, it is impossible to channel her own magic power in such a short period of time.

Unless there is some special power in her body.

Contacting Axiu's identity as a half-demon, Asai Nagamasa felt that he had roughly guessed what was going on. The last half-demon to behave like this happened to be the legendary Onmyoji Abe Seimei.
"Very good, Axiu, your talent is very good. Given time, you may be able to surpass me soon."

Asai Nagamasa did not hesitate to praise him, which made the drowsy and half-asleep Maeda Keiji beside him feel a little jealous.

But Axiu herself was not very happy, and she didn't even have any expression on her face. She just shook her head gently, probably to express her modesty.

Asai Nagamasa didn't take it seriously either. She didn't know whether it was because of the hardships she suffered as a child or because she had lived alone in the forest since she was a child. In short, she was very bad at expressing her feelings. She usually looked like a facial paralysis and could not even smile. Very rarely.

However, Asai Nagamasa knows that she is not really emotionless, she just hides her emotions deep in her heart. This is an excellent Ji Samurai who must repay kindness. From the moment she met him once, she was willing to follow him. Owari can tell one or two.

Maeda Keiji next to him had to take a serious look at this silent woman for the first time.

Before that, because the other party didn't take the initiative to speak, and it was a Samurai Hime who had been following Asai Nagamasa, he subconsciously thought that the other party was Asai Nagamasa's woman, and did not look at her because that would be very rude. , but now when she showed her extraordinary talent in magic, he had to pay attention to her.

Asai Nagamasa wanted to say something more, but at this moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the city gate: "Axiu, Keiji-kun, it seems that today's study will end here."

Axiu and Maeda Keiji looked at each other, both of them were a little confused. They didn't know why Asai Nagamasa suddenly said this.

But a few seconds later, Axiu couldn't help but stand up with Asai Nagamasa, and immediately touched her weapon, because she also noticed something.

Maeda Keiji became more and more confused, but soon he couldn't help but change his color slightly, because he felt the slight vibration of the earth. It was a vibration that could only be caused by at least a thousand people acting together. There were a large number of troops approaching here!

His first thought was: Where did the army come from?Could it be that the Imagawa family or the Saito family called?

Then came his second thought: Asai Nagamasa knew how to use spells, so it didn't matter if he sensed it earlier than he did, but why did the Ji warrior named Axiu sense it earlier than he did?

Could it be that she actually made herself stronger?How can this be?
