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

Chapter 174 Phoenix

Ji Jishi Wuming didn't find anything strange about this, because this barrier was originally designed to resist monsters.

But the next moment, an extremely beautiful bird song sounded in everyone's ears. In their shocked eyes, a fire suddenly rose into the sky from the ruins, hovered in the air for a while, and then swooped down and went straight to the sky. Come from the direction where everyone is.

When they got closer, they all saw clearly that it was a noble, gorgeous, golden-red firebird with powerful momentum and majesty.

Naturally, Momochi Santao and others immediately followed their ninja instincts and jumped to hide in the ruins and woods on both sides. The little miko Kaga also chose to follow them immediately because she knew that she was very weak. , it’s fine if you can’t help, but you can’t be a burden.

Axiu raised his weapon again and looked up at the mysterious creature that was gradually approaching. Only Wu Ming and Asai Nagamasa stood there without any movement.

It's just that the two of them did so for completely different reasons. The former was because he recognized the other's true identity, so he fell into extreme shock, confusion and confusion.

The latter felt something more.

When he saw the other person for the first time, the male bird in his body became restless.

Different from the female Biwing that saw Ah Shi in Qingzhou City that day, in addition to a little admiration and admiration, the Biwing at this moment was more in awe and worship. It seemed that for it, surrendering to the other party was a matter of course.

At the same time, the flame tiger in his body also let out a low roar full of unwillingness. It felt a powerful threat, but it seemed to be somewhat powerless.

Qiao Ji seemed to have encountered some natural enemy, and even trembled a little.

She was originally a member of the gods of Takamagahara. Although she was only a member of the lower-level gods and was now in extreme decline, it could make her feel a little bit afraid, so one can imagine how powerful the opponent was.

The only one who didn't react at all was probably Huang Long, but that was because it was just a spirit with power and knowledge but not much wisdom and emotion, not Huang Long himself.

But in this way, the identity of the other party has actually been revealed. It must be the legendary beast, Phoenix, one of the kings of birds.

Phoenix Phoenix, although the two are often mentioned together, they are actually two kinds of creatures, the male is phoenix and the female is phoenix.

Looking at the lecherous look of the bird, Asai Nagamasa knew that the other party was definitely a female. It wouldn't be able to fall in love with the male Phoenix, would it?

But why does the legendary bird appear here?
Is it possible that, just like my own bird and the Tang lion near the island, it also shoulders some special mission here?
For example, incarnate as a guardian spirit and seal some kind of powerful monster?
While he was thinking about it, Asai Nagamasa felt the blazing fire coming towards his face, and then the flaming bird, which looked like a phoenix, circled a few times in the air again, then let out a soft cry and dived directly towards Asai Nagamasa.

There was an exclamation of exclamation immediately behind him, even Hime Samurai Wuming was no exception, but Asai Nagamasa did not dodge, standing straight on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the other party.

Not only because he was already very familiar with this kind of scene, as both the Winged Bird and the Flame Tiger had made similar moves, but also because he heard excitement, joy, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy from the other party's cry. It seemed that this The female phoenix whose head had turned into a guardian spirit looked like she had seen herself somewhere before.

However, Asai Nagamasa can be [-]% sure that he has never seen the other party before, otherwise he would not have any impression.

The most likely possibility is that the other party has seen something on his body or something inside his body.
Asai Nagamasa's gaze drooped slightly and landed on the spirit box hanging from his waist, so, is it Abe Seimei again?

Indeed, the entire Pingdong Temple is covered by a barrier, and there are magic circles in the surrounding underground. Even after hundreds of years, it can still kill those lower-level beastmen with ease. An Onmyoji who can display such a large-scale power has great power throughout the entire temple. There are only a handful of people in the history of Nippon, and Abe Seimei is undoubtedly one of them.

So he took two steps forward and took the initiative to face the other party: "Huang, I am Asai Nagamasa. I once accepted the inheritance of Seimei Gong. Are you willing to make a contract with me to protect each other?"

So under everyone's shocked eyes, the Phoenix once again hovered in the air for several weeks, then let out several clear and beautiful chirps, seeming to be very happy, and then it plunged into Asai Nagamasa's chest and completely disappeared. .

At the same time, Asai Nagamasa felt a blazing fire rising up and down his body, not only making his blood boil, but his magic power also seemed to have undergone some changes. In just a few breaths, it became purer. .

Flipping his right hand, a blazing flame appeared in his palm out of thin air, but it was different from the previous scarlet red, and this flame seemed to be painted with a gold border.

Although it was only a little bit, Asai Nagamasa knew that the power of each of his fire spells would be increased by at least [-]%.

And this is just the beginning. Huang is in the weakest stage in its history. The purification of its own mana and the increase of its spells are far from reaching its peak state.

However, it seems a little overbearing.

Obviously after possession, the guardian spirits who are energy bodies are all inhabited in their own bodies and souls. In theory, they have an extremely wide space. However, after Phoenix enters the body, in just a few breaths, In the meantime, it drove Qiao Ji and Biyiniao into the corner very domineeringly, and is currently trying to intimidate Yan Hu, obviously also wanting to drive it away.

Although its ability is extremely strong, its character really gives Asai Nagamasa a little headache. He doesn't want the guardian spirits in his body to fight together when he is fighting monsters.

However, it is impossible for oneself to abandon Huang Long easily. Its behavior still follows certain rules. For example, it seems that it has no intention of provoking Huang Long at all. Perhaps this is out of respect for the equally powerful guardian spirit?

Is it because he bullies the weak and fears the strong, or is he unwilling to be in the same place with the lower-level guardian spirits because he is arrogant by nature?
From this point of view, maybe it's time for me to find a chance to find a good home for other guardian spirits.

Phoenix, Flame Tiger, and Winged Bird are all users of fire power. It is indeed too wasteful for them all to stay in their own bodies.While Asai Nagamasa was thinking, Phoenix suddenly let out a soft cry, and a secret message was passed to Asai Nagamasa, which even included sound, light and images. He immediately knew that this must be what it had seen with his own eyes. seen.

It’s just that I don’t know if too much time has passed or if it is too weak now. The information is only a few paragraphs, and most of it is fragmented.

But just a few short clips are already amazing enough, and they contain extremely rich information.

The magic circle here at Heideo Temple was indeed created by Abe Seimei, but he did not act alone at that time. There was another legendary hero fighting alongside him, and the other party was also Phoenix's previous master.

That is the hero who led the Four Heavenly Kings to defeat the demon king Shuten Doji, the great demon earth spider and other monsters in the mountains and rivers - Minamoto Yorimitsu!
Different from the legend, this Minamoto no Yorimitsu is not only a very exaggerated figure Samurai Hime, but also seems to have an ambiguous relationship with Abe Seimei.

But yes, except for the Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei, there are probably not many men in the entire Nippon who are worthy of a powerful Hime warrior like Minamoto Yorimitsu.

Unfortunately, Huang's memory is not complete. Asai Nagamasa has not been able to see the true face of Abe Seimei for the time being, and he does not know what his cheap master, who is the son of a white fox, looks like.

But it was only the remaining memory fragments that allowed Phoenix to recognize the spirit-sealing box on Asai Nagamasa's waist. It was precisely because of this that it happily chose to fall into Asai Nagamasa's arms and willingly served as his guardian spirit.

Phoenix's former owner, Minamoto Yorimitsu, was not only a powerful warrior, but also an onmyoji who could use magic. She even had a soul core box that was very similar to the spirit-sealing box in Asai Nagamasa's hand.

There are dozens of monsters, big and small, sealed inside, among which the stronger ones include two minotaur ghosts, a horse-headed ghost, a train and a cow ghost.

Their identities are somewhat similar to Onmyoji's shikigami, but because Minamoto no Yorimitsu is very keen on conquering monsters, she has little trust in monsters. She never gives enough energy to the monsters in the soul core box, but only when there are When needed, let them show up occasionally to perform such tricks.

Phoenix and phoenix usually appear together. They were both the guardian spirits of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, but just like the winged bird on Asai Nagamasa, the guardian spirit phoenix was separated from the phoenix for some reason, and even it itself did not exist. A little bit of relevant memory.

So after being possessed, Phoenix has only one request, and that is to find its partner.

At this moment, Wu Ming, who was a few meters away, sighed: "Master Asai, maybe I had many doubts before, but now I can be sure that you are indeed Lord Seimei's apprentice, and you are indeed worthy of Omi. The name of the dragon."

In order to check the seal here and be wary of the monsters escaping, she would come to Pingdong Temple every once in a while, especially recently, she came more frequently, but even though she came so many times, she didn't even get to know the bathhouse. I don’t even know the existence of the divine bird of fire.

But now that the other party is here for the first time, the legendary bird has directly chosen to become the other party's guardian spirit. The treatment between them is so different that it makes me angry to death.

A Xiu also blinked and stared at him with big eyes. Although he had never fought before, he knew that the opponent was very strong just by looking at his power.

At this time, the little miko Kaga, Momochi Santao and other Iga ninjas also emerged from hidden places such as trees, rocks, and ruins. Although they did not know what happened just now, it seemed that There should be no danger.

The third husband of Momochi was the first to step forward and congratulate Asai Nagamasa: "Congratulations, Nagamasa-sama. In addition to the legendary dragon, you are also protected by the divine bird. You will definitely have a prosperous military fortune in the future."

Not only Asai Nagamasa narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, but Wu Ming next to him was the first to shout: "Shenlong?"

Momochi Santao deliberately made a very surprised look: "Oh, don't you know? Maybe outsiders only know that this is Owari Daimyo Oda Nobunaga's praise for Asai-sama, but we have inquired about it, he I once told my retainers in private that Asai-sama really has a divine dragon in his body."

He was actually very curious about this warrior Ji who claimed to be the leader of the Chuye tribe, because even as the leader of Iga, he had always only vaguely felt the existence of such a mysterious force, but he had never really felt it. I got so much useful information. I didn't expect to meet the leader of the other party here today.

The corners of Asai Nagamasa's mouth could not help but curl up slightly. On the surface, Momochi Santao was telling Wu Ming, but in fact, he was not showing his strength to himself.
They Iga ninjas could even eavesdrop on the conversations between Oda Nobunaga and his retainers. He must have wanted to tell him this.

After the scene just now, the leader of the Iga ninja also began to try to show his strength, not wanting to look down on them.

But if he does this, it shows that he lacks confidence.
But Wuming didn't think so. She just looked at Asai Nagamasa in shock, as if she saw some monster: "You already have a guardian spirit? Then why can you bear the second one?"

Next to him, Bai Di San Taifu immediately remembered it secretly. It seemed that this was also a secret.
Asai Nagamasa shrugged, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain to the other party that he was not only possessed by two guardian spirits, but Oda Nobunaga and Aichi also had more than one guardian spirit.

There is even something strange about A Xiu, but he hasn't figured it out yet.

But it seemed too shocking to tell the truth, so he just shrugged: "Probably, it's because I practice Yin Yang."

Wu Ming subconsciously wanted to refute. Although there are indeed very few people in Ni Peng who know Onmyoji, there are some people in Chu Ye Yazhong who know it. Why haven't they seen such a special physique?
But when the words came to her lips, she had to swallow them back, because she immediately thought that not only did they not have the inheritance from Abe Seimei, but they were also far from being as advanced as the other party. Perhaps, this was the difference.

After trying hard to calm down his mood, Wuming glanced at Axiu next to him, and then spoke again: "As expected of Master Asai, I'll go check the magic circle here first, see you later!"

After glancing at Axiu next to him again, Wuming quickly walked into Pingping Temple and disappeared soon. She acted vigorously and resolutely, and the barrier also had no restrictions on her. Judging from her familiar appearance, it was obvious that I know she has definitely been here many times.

Asai Nagamasa opened his mouth, wanting to tell the other party that although Huang had forgotten what monster was sealed here, according to what it said, if there was no external force to destroy it, the protective barrier here could last for at least several decades.

According to my current growth rate, by that time, even if some big monster really comes out, even if it won't be instantly killed by one of my attacks, it won't have a few breaths left, right?
