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

Chapter 172 The Third Master of Baidi

So two hours later, Asai Nagamasa met the leader of the Iga ninja, Momochi Santafu, on a plain five miles away from Kyoto.

This is an old man with long gray hair who looks very ordinary. It is absolutely difficult for outsiders to imagine that as long as he gives an order, countless outstanding ninjas will serve him in an instant.

The dark circles under his eyes looked a bit special. In this era, there were no mobile phones or computers, so I didn’t know why the other party stayed up so late.

Little did he know that Bai Di San Taifu opposite him was also filled with emotion.

When he first got to know the other person, he only thought that the other party was an excellent but not very special young samurai. Even if he succeeded in succeeding as the family governor in the future, he didn't know how long he would have to fight with the Rokkaku family. After all, Kitaomi Asai The strength of the family is obvious to all.

But who would have thought that in less than a month, the other party would already have such a great reputation, recruit many outstanding retainers, train an army of thousands of people, and even personally kill countless monsters and monsters?
Asai Nagamasa smiled and looked at the other party: "I have long heard that Mr. Baidi Santaifu is a very cautious person. When we meet him today, he is indeed even more famous."

Not only did the other party ask them to meet in the wild, but in his perception, there were at least fifty ninjas hiding in the forest in the distance. What was wrong with him? Did he think he would harm him?

Looking at myself, there are only two girls, Axiu and the little miko Kaga, with me. Not only does Kaga have no fighting ability, he is also busy taking care of a fox and a dog.

Hearing this, the Third Master of Momochi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's rude of me to make Master Asai laugh. It's true that demons have been too rampant recently. I seem to be targeted by some vengeful rat demons."

"Oh? Rat demon? What kind of rat demon? Are they the ones that appear in Qingzhou City?"

When he was in Qingzhou City, he and Axiu killed several rat demons together. After Oda Nobunaga came back, he stopped paying attention to it. After all, those rat demons wanted to assassinate or capture Axiu, so they should really worry about it. The one is Oda Nobunaga.

But then he thought that they were not local monsters in Nibon, and he should call them Skaven.

"Yes, that's them. After the incident in Qingzhou City, we Iga ninjas tracked down one of the other party's lairs, and then a big war broke out, and we became mortal enemies."

Speaking of this, Momochi Santafu couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "They are obviously big rats with tails, but the ninjutsu of the outstanding ones among them is even better than that of many Iga chuunin." No, the strongest among them can even use the three-sword style with their claws and tail, and even I was slightly injured.”

"In the past few years, without anyone noticing, they have quietly destroyed three small ninjas, and then disguised themselves as their identities and walked around, even working for big names such as the Imagawa family and the Saito family. .”

"If their number were to increase tenfold, I'm afraid there would be no need for the entire Nippon Ninja Village to exist."

Asai Nagamasa suddenly narrowed his eyes: "I see, are they so strong?"

Although when he was in Qingzhou City, he was deeply impressed by the rat men who could successfully escape under the joint attack of him and Axiu, but he did not expect that Momochi Santao, the leader of the Iga ninjas, would He actually has such a high opinion of these Skaven.

However, when combined with the caution and even fear of those in the Agote Chamber of Commerce, he seemed to be able to have a rough understanding.

"Human beings are stronger than monsters in their intelligence and learning ability, but these skavens are so cunning now, they are almost as good as us in these two aspects, plus their ability to reproduce, they are indeed a Enemy."

Although there is no relevant information so far, ordinary mice can give birth to up to 8 times a year, with 5-10 cubs at a time, and these cubs will soon mature and have the ability to give birth to offspring.

Therefore, if there is enough food and they can operate at full capacity, it is normal for a pair of rats to open a branch base and their family rat population to increase hundreds of times in a year.

Although the size of the Skaven ratmen is many times larger than that of ordinary rats, the demand for food will also be greatly increased. They may not be able to achieve this exaggerated level, but if you think about it, they will definitely Many times stronger than humans who take more than ten years to grow up.

"S, Ka, Wen rat people?" Baidi Santai repeated the name with a bit of a mouthful, "Is this the name of those rat demons?"

Asai Nagamasa nodded: "Yes, these rat monsters are not actually local monsters in Nibon. They come from other places. The southern barbarians call them Skaven. In fact, they are not the same as real monsters. There is a big difference, most of them don't seem to be able to use magic."

The San Tai Fu of Hundred Lands suddenly seemed a little surprised: "Is the other place from the Cathay Empire?"

Although he was a little surprised that the Southern Barbarians knew about these rat demons, he was not really surprised, because he had long known that the Southern Barbarians also had some special powers. Otherwise, when they first arrived at Jie Town, The Nibon people would not treat them so kindly and respectfully.

In addition to iron cannons and big barrels, they also have some more special powers that can be used to protect them and their property.

Asai Nagamasa shook his head: "I don't know about this, but if the Cathay Empire is really as powerful as the legend says, I'm afraid there may not be a place for these Skaven."

Bai Di San Taifu nodded in agreement, indeed, because in the legend, the rulers of the Cathay Empire were all real dragons.
"Then I wonder what Master Baidi has planned next for these rat people?"

Although he has not yet completely turned against those rat men, Asai Nagamasa feels a little uneasy just thinking that those rat men have wiped out several ninjas and developed a large scale.

This kind of monster who knows how to hide itself and learn is much more dangerous than ordinary monsters who only have brute force.

Momochi Santao couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly: "Even if they are trying to be loyal to the Imagawa family to seek asylum, blood debts must be paid with blood. Iga ninjas have never been afraid of challenges." Although his expression and tone were very calm, Asai Nagamasa can also imagine that there must be a bloody storm behind this.

It seems that these rat men are indeed very powerful. Even the leader of the Iga ninja is so solemn.

Asai Nagamasa suddenly changed his expression, and remembered a key question. They also have animal heads. Yesterday's kobolds probably turned into demons because of that green spirit stone. Then, is there a similar possibility for these ratmen? Woolen cloth?
Or, are they here for those stones?After all, in my own memory, the Skaven made great use of those stones, and they even developed a lot of black technology.

"My lord, are there any green spirit stones near the lairs of the Ratmen, or around the other monsters you found?"

Bai Di San Taifu immediately nodded: "Indeed, this kind of spiritual stone seems to have special power. Just by being close to it, I can feel the burning sting. We found it on a three-sword style rat man before. We have even found traces of daggers made of this spiritual stone in Kyoto in the past few days."

Use contaminated spiritual stones as weapons?It is indeed a good idea, although they are hard and brittle, very easy to damage, and not sharp enough, I am afraid that even ordinary ashigaru giraffes cannot pierce through them.

But thinking about it in another direction, once the wound is punctured, it is much more deadly than ordinary poison, and it is very worthwhile to be a one-time assassination weapon.

But that's not what he needs to focus on right now.

"Kyoto?"

Asai Nagamasa suddenly felt as if he had vaguely grasped some clues. He asked impatiently: "Sir, can you tell me whether the spiritual stones in Kyoto follow some special rules? For example, they are all distributed within a certain range." Inside?"

The third husband of Baiji was a little surprised at once, and then he roughly understood what the other party meant: "Master Asai, what do you mean?"

Without waiting for Asai Nagamasa to reply, he immediately said: "It's Pingdong Temple. All the spiritual stones we discovered are distributed near Pingdong Temple."

Asai Nagamasa suddenly realized: "Byodo Temple? So that's the case, no wonder it is so!"

The Hedoji Temple in Kyoto was built more than 500 years ago. The monks at that time tried to create a pure land on earth according to their vision of the Western Paradise, and thus the Hedotan Temple was born.

Once the Pinghe Temple was built, it immediately attracted a large number of tourists and believers, making it prosperous for hundreds of years. Even though it is now in ruins, it still occupies a considerable area.

Let's not mention this for now, but if you want to seal any big monster in Kyoto, Pyoden Temple must be the best choice.

The spiritual stones discovered by Bai Di San Taifu must have once been part of a huge magic circle, and no one would be stupid enough to throw them away casually.

It is easy to explain the Prajna who was killed by him last night, because it happened to be behind the Pingdong Temple!
In this way, the whole matter is very clear. There must be a powerful monster sealed in the Temple of Equality, and for some special reason, the magic circle was destroyed, the evil spirit overflowed, and even polluted the magic circle that was originally a part of the magic circle. The spirit stone gave birth to new monsters such as Prajna.

"Satafu-sama, have there been any abnormal events such as earthquakes or meteors in Kyoto recently?"

"They are all there. About less than a month ago, a large number of meteors fell from the sky, and some even fell several miles outside Kyoto. It seems that since then, there have been a sudden increase in monsters in Nippon. There were also two minor meteors in Kyoto last month. The earthquake killed dozens of people.”

Less than a month ago, Nagamasa Asai couldn't help being surprised. At that time, it seemed to be about the same time as he and Huang Long arrived in this world.

Could it be that this large-scale turmoil caused by Ni Peng was actually caused by him and Huang Long?

But there is no use in thinking about it now. The information he has is still too little, and even if it is really because of himself, if there is a chance to choose again, Asai Nagamasa will still do it because he wants to live. .

At best, you can work hard and kill all the demons and monsters in Nibon, and you will make up for it!

Thinking of this, Asai Nagamasa sighed deeply and said with worry: "It seems that Kyoto is really in trouble. Mr. Third Taifu, I'm really sorry. I originally wanted to discuss the alliance with you today, but right now But there is another very urgent matter to investigate at Equality Temple."

"If the facts are really what I think, it will probably cause great disaster."

Just a little bit of evil spirit that escapes can give birth to that kind of evil spirit stone, and then create Prajna, Minotaur, and Kobold. So what kind of power will the opponent have if he really manages to escape?
If such power is used by the Guoxin layman with ulterior motives, Asai Nagamasa really doesn't know what will happen.

Momochi Santafu suddenly felt nervous. What kind of thing could actually make the other party temporarily put aside their alliance with him, put down those ships, and even go to Pingdou Temple without even caring about the thousands of ashigaru?
However, when he contacted the other party's other identity and the series of questions just now, he actually already had some vague answers in his mind.

After pondering for a moment, Momochi Santafu continued: "If this is the case, I am willing to personally lead the way for Lord Asai."

Just leading the way?

Asai Nagamasa understood the other party's thoughts, and he laughed immediately: "Thank you so much, Mr. Third Taifu. If there are really monsters there, I will definitely deal with them myself!"
