For Axue, the most terrifying thing about [Destined Death] is not the enemy, but the dark unknown.
It is because of the unknown that humans are afraid.
But when she knew that she would die from the breaking of the Sujuumaru Tsuneji, Axue's desire to catch the immortal became even more crazy.
He just lost to the Way of Heaven, not that he failed to find the Way of Heaven!
If you meet a ghost, kill it; if you meet a Buddha, kill him!
So what the White-Clothed Shura has to do now is to rely on this Myoho Muramasa to completely kill the immortal in the future!
The weapon forged by Sengo Muramasa is a [God-killing] blade!
You accepted the Myoho Muramasa, and your faith in overcoming your destined death grew stronger.
However, compared to the confident Axue in the simulation, Linde outside was confused.
"What's going on? Isn't this Jujumaru Tsuneji still broken? Is this Senko Village lying???"
Lind remembers it clearly.
The reason his Holy Evil System was activated was because it detected the holy relics that Director Ken had purchased in preparation for the Fourth Holy Grail War.
The first simulation was initiated by the Japanese Warring States Period, and it was the evil-destroying Buddhist sword, Sujumaru Tsuneji.
Hundreds of years later, the Sujuumaru Tsuneji in Linde's hand is not as terrifying as Sengo Muramasa said.
It is a completely well-preserved holy relic and a historical national treasure that can be directly sentenced if it is sold at an auction.
Sengo Muramasa insisted that the Suzumaru Tsuneji would break, but the Suzumaru Tsuneji in Linde's hand did not break.
Damn it, could it be that the sujumaru Tsuneji in my hand is a fake?
Fakes can also activate simulated anchor points, right?
"Senko Muramasa is a historical figure. Logically speaking, historical events will be defined in modern times..."
Linde analyzed calmly.
After all, Sengokumura is the swordsmith who has become a heroic spirit, and what he saw when Suzumaru Tsunetsugu broke was real history.
But now the sujumaru in Linde's hand has not broken, which shows that the two histories are obviously contradictory and conflicting.
"There are two possibilities."
Lind quickly came to a conclusion.
The first possibility: His own trumpet resolved the destined death and successfully avoided the future of Suzumaru Tsuneji's breakage, resulting in the well-preserved Suzumaru Tsuneji we have today.
The second possibility: Suzumaru Tsuneji was indeed broken, and then Axue also died under the control of this destined death, but this period of history was fictional, and therefore it was judged by human reason to become a strange record.
"No, no, no, this doesn't feel right. I should say that everything in the simulation actually happened."
Lind continued to think and gave a third possibility.
That is-
The past can change the future.
Everything that happened in the past in the simulation will also affect the future today.
And this holy and evil simulation system does have the function of changing the course of history.
That is your own trumpet, which will affect your future development through the ending in the simulation.
If he had unified the Warring States, then the history books today would have completely written Axue's name, and the development history of modern Japan would have been completely changed...
Of course, this idea is still too absurd, and we have to wait until the first simulation is over to know the correct answer.
What Linde should be worried about now is going to Luoyang tomorrow.
After all, the reason why Axue went to Luo was entirely to accompany Miyamoto Musashi to challenge the swordsman.
If Miyamoto Musashi challenges the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru in the capital, this news will surely become a big deal.
By then, Axue will definitely be nearby and unable to escape, and this Shura in white will soon be discovered by everyone.
That would be completely terrible—
After all, Kyoto is different from other places. Mount Hiei, the sacred site of Japanese Buddhism, is located around Kyoto.
I thought I caught a petty thief, but I ended up poking fun at his lair.
Every monk in Enryakuji Temple wished that Axue would die.
Chapter 4: Kagetora, possessed by the devil (/?)
Kyoto.
Mount Hiei, Enryakuji Temple.
This largest Buddhist temple in Japan's Warring States period can be said to be the guardian of Kyoto. It has tens of thousands of monk soldiers under its command. Even the most arrogant Warring States daimyo today has to lower his proud head when he comes to Enryakuji Temple.
And today, Enryakuji Temple welcomed a special guest.
"Lord Jinghu, I'm so sorry for not welcoming you. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you!!!"
A monk in his seventies, wearing a cassock, slowly walked out of the Buddhist temple.
This person was none other than the abbot of Enryakuji Temple, Monk Zhiwu, the head of the Tendai sect, who stood at the highest point of Japanese Buddhism.
Monk Zhiwu was a Zen master who protected the country of the Muromachi shogunate. Even the most powerful Emperor Go-Nara had to kneel before this old monk and bathe in the Buddha's light at his feet.
"Jinghu is the one who is offended. He actually disturbed Master Zhiwu's meditation."
Nagao Kagetora clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Monk Zhiwu.
The Dragon of Echigo went to Kyoto not only to visit Ashikaga Yoshiteru who had just become the Shogun, but more importantly to pay his respects to the lord of Enryakuji Temple.
After all, Nagao Kagetora claimed to be the reincarnation of the god Bishamontenmu, and he himself had been a monk since childhood. Among the daimyo of the Warring States period today, only this dragon of Echigo had the closest relationship with Buddhism.
Without any courtesy, Nagao Kagetora waved his right hand and the soldiers behind him carried out several boxes full of gold.
"As an apology, Kagetora brought five hundred taels of gold to personally repair the Buddhist temple at Enryaku-ji Temple."
Seeing that the most powerful daimyo of the Warring States Period, Nagao Kagetora, had made such a generous donation to Enryakuji Temple in Kyoto, the wrinkles on Monk Zhiwu's face suddenly filled up and he laughed heartily.
"Lord Jinghu, you are so polite! Aren't you and I both followers of the Buddha? Come! Bring Lord Jinghu a copy of the Saint of Calligraphy!"
Soon, the monks of Enryakuji Temple did not dare to show weakness and respectfully took out a copy of the calligraphy from their meditation room.
Nagao Kagetora took it and found that it was a copy of the calligraphy master Wang Xizhi.
"These traces... must be from the first copy of the Sage of Calligraphy, copied by Emperor Taizong of Tang during the Tang Dynasty!"
Nagao Kagetora's eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't let it go instantly.
According to historical records, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, loved Wang Xizhi's authentic works and had all of Wang Xizhi's famous works copied down for the admiration of scholars and writers. It is said that the world's best running script, "Lanting Preface", was a burial item for Emperor Taizong of Tang.
Monk Zhiwu had indeed done some research on Nagao Kagetora, and knowing that she loved Chinese characters and calligraphy, he had actually prepared such a precious cultural relic long ago!
"Lord Jinghu is both wise and courageous, a rare hero in the world. It would be a waste to keep this copy of the calligraphy master in the Tiantai Sect. Lord Jinghu's integrity is worthy of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. I will entrust it to you."
"Thank you, Master Zhiwu."
After some business flattery, Monk Zhiwu finally got down to business.
"I heard that Lord Kagetora is going to Kyoto to respond to the call of Lord Yoshiteru and support the young Shogun?"
Nagao Kagetora lowered his eyes, remembered Naoe Kagetsuna's instructions, and answered.
"I was planning to do just that. I wonder what Master Zhiwu thinks of this matter?"
"Not bad, not bad. Lord Kagetora, who supported the Muromachi shogunate, can be said to be the number one loyal minister of the Warring States Period. Hahahahaha!"
Monk Zhiwu burst into laughter.
"By the way, does Lord Kagetora remember his grandfather, Nagao Nokage?"
Nagao Kagetora was stunned, not knowing why this Zen master mentioned her grandfather.
Then the white-haired war god replied, "Grandfather was a renowned general. He fought countless battles throughout his life, bringing peace to the perennially turbulent Echigo Kingdom."
"I once fought on the battlefield with Lord Neng Jing..."
Monk Zhiwu spoke in a calm voice filled with memories of the past.
"The battlefield is forever filled with the bones of friendly soldiers, yet the battle yields nothing, while the ominous city walls remain unscathed."
"I cried at that time, for the countless innocent soldiers who died in battle. Perhaps my tears moved the Buddha, and the tide of battle soon turned—"
Nagao Kagetora never expected that Monk Zhiwu, the leader of the Tiantai sect, had actually stepped into the battlefield himself and fought side by side with his grandfather, whom he had never met.
So the white-haired Martial God asked, "And then?"
“Later…Woohoo!!”
Monk Zhiwu grinned with his mouth, which had few good teeth, and laughed wildly with great pride.
"Later, the Jodo Shinshu sect won, and Lord Neng Jing finally died on the battlefield. Although I am a monk of the Tiantai sect, I couldn't help but feel ecstatic about the Jodo Shinshu sect's victory. I was so moved that I recited the Buddhist scriptures on the spot."
Nagao Kagetora didn't know what Monk Zhiwu meant, and his facial expression was frozen.
"Afterwards, the Jodo Shinshu monks dismembered Lord Neng Jing! His skull was made into a Buddhist bowl, and I heard it's still enshrined in Honganji Temple. I, alone, feel great compassion and chant the Buddha's name to pray for Lord Neng Jing's soul..."
Looking at Monk Zhiwu's arrogant smile, Nagao Kagetora didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Grandfather... you were once an enemy of Buddhism? Ahahaha, Kagetora is truly ignorant..."
The white-haired war god could only fake a smile and replied.
"Lord Jinghu, do you know the White-robed Shura who has become very famous recently?"
After Monk Zhiwu finished laughing, he suddenly asked a question.
“…Unknown.”
Nagao Kagetora himself was a guy who had no entertainment life at all. Apart from killing enemies in the battlefield, he chanted Buddhist scriptures and never inquired about the turmoil in the martial arts world.
Even diplomatic affairs were under the full responsibility of Naoe Kagetsuna, and Nagao Kagetora only had to obey his orders.
"I heard they were remnants of the Nichiren sect. Some time ago, they massacred the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, which was known for its immeasurable merits and virtues. They are now wanted by the Buddhist community."
"...Is there such a sinister guy?"
Even the usually indifferent Nagao Kagetora was shocked when he heard the news.
The status of monks in today's chaotic Warring States period is extremely noble. If a monk comes to beg for alms, it is a blessing earned by others, not to mention daring to offend or even kill the monks.
And this Shura in white actually slaughtered all the monks in a temple...?
"It is said that this Buddha enemy's sword is a sacred Buddhist object, Sujumaru Tsuneji, which disappeared in the fire at Linquan Temple."
Nagao Kagetora's expression instantly lost control. Hearing the name of the sword from Monk Tomoe, she couldn't help but ask excitedly, "You, you mean... Suzumaru Tsuneji?!"
There is only one sujumaru Tsuneji in this world.
That was the sacred Buddhist object collected by her master, Master Tianshi.
The final heir of this Buddhist sword was Nagao Kagetora's junior fellow disciple, Axue, who was burned to death in the Linquan Temple fire!
Although after the fire at Rinsenji Temple, everyone in the ruins said that Suzumaru Tsuneji had turned into ashes and blown away by the wind, Nagao Kagetora never believed it.
She always believed that a Buddhist sword of this level would not be destroyed in a mere sea of fire.
Just like her junior fellow disciple Axue, as the reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva, he will definitely not die in the fire!!!
but......
That was just my thought three years ago.
Time is the best medicine to alleviate everything.
Three years had passed since Axue's death, and Nagao Kagetora was no longer as paranoid as before. She then calmed down and asked in a low voice: "...Is it a fake?"
"Shouldn't I ask you, Lord Kagetora?"
Monk Zhiwu's words were sharp.
"Three years ago, the demonic woman Xian Taoyuan burned down Linquan Temple, yet there's still no news of her death. Doesn't this mean that Lord Jinghu is condoning his own sister's harm to the world? He's watching her fall into the path of demonism?"
Nagao Kagetora fell silent.
