"Can I assume that Sujumaru Tsuneji has never left Linquan Temple, but has been secretly hidden by that demon woman from beginning to end? And this white-robed Shura—"

"Could it be... an assassin sent from your Echigo Province?"

Facing the monk Zhiwu's barrage of questions, Nagao Kagetora raised his head and said coldly, "Absolutely impossible. I, Nagao Kagetora, would never do anything that would harm Buddhism, and my sister, Sentoin, would never do that either."

Facing Nagao Kagetora's dignified and neither humble nor arrogant demeanor, Monk Zhiwu knew that even if this was really done by Kagetora, he would never get a direct answer.

The old man hunched his back and then sighed deeply.

"Lord Jinghu is full of martial virtue, and this White-robed Shura is said to have extraordinary swordsmanship. If Lord Jinghu can bring this Shura's head to our temple, I believe that Lord Jinghu's future of unifying the chaotic Warring States period will soon arrive."

"In order to maintain the dignity of Buddhism, Jinghu is willing to kill this evil monk for the Tiantai Sect!"

After making such a bold statement, Nagao Kagetora's visit to Enryakuji Temple came to an end.

This reincarnation of Vaisravana knew that the Tiantai Sect just wanted an explanation.

That is whether Nagao Kagetora is a member of their faction.

After all, Nagao Kagetora's grandfather Nagao Noriaki and Nagao Kagetora's father Nagao Tamekage were both evil tyrants.

As a result, in the generation of Nagao Kagetora, a Buddhist and upright Dragon of Echigo emerged.

In this kind of situation, even if Nagao Kagetora brought 500 taels of gold, Monk Zhiwu would not easily accept his kindness.

Is that why he gave me so many blows...

"It seems... we need to investigate the whereabouts of White-robed Shura."

Enryakuji Temple simply wanted to see the death of the White-robed Shura. There were many Warring States daimyo who were able to do this in these chaotic times, but only Nagao Kagetora succeeded in doing so, and the publicity significance of this act was the greatest.

He was already a savior revered by the people of Echigo, and he came to Kyoto to support the Muromachi shogunate. If you add to that the feat of slaying the White-robed Shura...

Then she, Nagao Kagetora, was the spokesperson for Buddhism who complied with the will of the people and the righteousness of the cause.

In this way, unifying the chaotic Warring States period would be easy.

"But this Master Zhiwu is really a bad guy. Why did he tell me about my grandfather's deeds in such detail..."

Nagao Kagetora certainly didn't know that his grandfather Nagao Noriaki had offended the Jodo Shinshu sect, but there was no need to describe his death in such a vivid way, right?

After all, they are my relatives...

Humans are truly too difficult to understand...

Just as Nagao Kagetora was going down the mountain with this thought in mind, he heard a monk behind him calling him -

"Lord Jinghu! Please stay! The clan leader has prepared a gift for you!"

Nagao Kagetora blinked, then stopped and turned to look at the monk. He clasped his hands together and returned the greeting, saying, "Kagetora has already received many gifts from Master Zhiwu. There is no need to give me anything more."

"No, Lord Jinghu! This is a gift that the clan leader specifically instructed us to prepare when he heard that Lord Jinghu was going to Luoyang a few days ago!"

Then, behind the monk, a row of young children slowly walked out.

Nagao Kagetora was a little puzzled.

Because these children seemed to be orphans taken in by Enryakuji Temple and had nothing to do with him.

What is even more confusing is that these children all have their eyes closed, just like the Buddha statues that do not allow people to look at anything inappropriate.

"What's going on with these kids?"

"The Sect Master specifically mentioned that Lord Jinghu once had a beloved junior fellow disciple at Linquan Temple named Monk Axue."

Nagao Kagetora could not hear clearly what the monk said.

"And that monk, Axue, was an extremely handsome boy who was born blind. Unfortunately, he died in the fire at Linquan Temple. As a result, Lord Jinghu is now depressed and has a vague suspicion of being possessed by a demon—"

"What...are you talking about...?"

Nagao Kagetora's voice was trembling slightly.

"So, under the instructions of the Sect Master, I specially selected many beautiful children overnight to give to Lord Jinghu. I hope that this will help him to feel more at ease for the death of my junior brother."

The monk was still chattering, but Nagao Kagetora could hardly hear him anymore.

"However, it is quite difficult to find monks who are born blind. I personally blinded these children so that they can better serve Lord Jinghu..."

“—Shut up right there!!”

Only then did Nagao Kagetora realize why he could not hear the monk's words clearly.

Because the emotion that permeated his heart was a rage that was about to boil over!

It was an extremely dark and impulsive emotion, the evil spirit that had been recurring in Nagao Kagetora since Axue's death!

Hearing Nagao Kagetora's roar, the blind children put their hands together and chanted in unison:

"The Buddha said! Do not speak what is not proper! Do not listen to what is not proper! Do not look at what is not proper!"

"Shut up!!!"

"The Buddha said! Avoid greed! Avoid ignorance! Avoid anger!"

Those children were like the ghosts that haunted him in the past, and now they seemed so vivid in Nagao Kagetora's eyes.

The pupils of this white-haired goddess of war kept shrinking. She wanted to draw the katana at her waist, but her hands and feet suddenly stopped moving.

Nagao Kagetora could only keep muttering:

"Don't come near me! Don't come near me!!"

Then the Echigo Dragon kept retreating. Facing this group of blind children, she pointed at these guys and laughed out loud!

"Ahahahaha! Ahahahahahahahaha! Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

Then Nagao Kagetora actually ran away at full speed, and this peerless martial god actually escaped in panic!

"Axue! Don't look at me! Don't look at me!!"

"I don't understand, I don't understand! I have already accumulated the Five Constant Virtues! I respect the Buddha!"

Chapter 75: Arriving at the highest city in the world, Kyoto!!!

[The next morning, you and your group entered Kyoto safely with the Ise Group caravan.]

Kyoto was once known as Heian-kyo. It was built after the ancient capital of Luoyang during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Therefore, scholars and writers referred to traveling to Kyoto as "Shangluo."

[After arriving in Kyoto, you and your group parted ways with Sengo Muramasa and embarked on a journey to challenge the swordsman.]

[The swordsman Miyamoto Musashi will challenge in his first battle is the swordsman general Ashikaga Yoshiteru.]

[For this day, this Tianyuan Flower has been busy preparing for a long time, and her great sword has been thirsty for a long time! ]

Of course, she knew the name of the swordsman general Ashikaga Yoshiteru. This unrivaled swordsman, renowned for his underhanded tactics, had already prepared his own schemes.

[That is to conquer others with the sword! ]

[As Ashikaga Yoshiteru was of such a respected status, his sword collection must have been of extremely valuable and top-grade quality. How could Miyamoto Musashi compete with his ordinary swords?]

【Miyamoto Musashi activated the backup hidden energy! 】

"So, Axue, please, please!!"

Miyamoto Musashi knelt down at Axue's feet, hugged the white-clothed Shura's feet and cried.

"Just lend me your Jujumaru Tsuneji and Myoho Muramasa! Otherwise, if my sword breaks during the duel, I'll be dead, right?"

"...You are a samurai, how can you be so distrustful of your own sword???"

"No, if I die, you'll be a widow, wuwuwu!!"

"I have nothing to do with you, okay!"

Axue couldn't hold it anymore.

It turns out that Miyamoto Musashi had always been hoping that Sengo Muramasa would help him forge the Myoho Muramasa. It turns out that he had this idea in mind all along.

After all, the only guy in this world who can be second to none is Tianyuanhua, who is now crying while holding his own feet.

And Axue just happened to have two swords, which she could seamlessly lend to Miyamoto Musashi for his two-sword style.

"No way! Without your sword, Blind Man, I'm definitely going to lose!!"

Miyamoto Musashi kept rubbing his face against Axue's robes and said aggrievedly.

"How can my sword compare to Jujumaru Tsuneji and Myoho Muramasa? They say a spirit sword protects its master, but my sword only harms it, wuwuwu!!"

"My lord, this despicable woman is definitely just trying to steal your weapon!"

Kato Danzo calmly persuaded from the side.

"My lord, you absolutely cannot lend your weapons to this woman without valuable collateral!"

"Precious things as collateral?"

When Miyamoto Musashi heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.

"I have it, I have it! Can I use my precious virginity? Blind man, can you take my virginity as a deposit?"

"How shameless!!"

Upon hearing this, the face of the mechanical puppet blushed with embarrassment.

Kato Danzo hurriedly shouted, "My lord is a high-ranking monk! He doesn't need the lowly chastity of a woman like you! Besides, even if my lord really has sexual desires that need to be released, I, Danzo, can serve him!"

"Huh? How could a mechanical puppet like you, born to kill, have something like that?"

Miyamoto Musashi rolled his eyes.

"Danzo does! Duanzo can do something like this!!"

Seeing these two gorgeous girls start arguing on the street around Axue, Oda Nobunaga couldn't hold it anymore. She slumped her shoulders and complained -

"Hey, you two, this is a public place, could you please not say these rude things in broad daylight..."

Just as Oda Nobunaga said, the passersby around them were shocked by the words of Miyamoto Musashi and Kato Danzo. They stopped by with complicated expressions and began to point fingers at the monk Axue.

"Tsk tsk tsk! The world is going downhill! This monk is truly corrupting public morals!"

"Oh my god, even though he's so ugly, there are still beautiful girls vying for him. Is this the answer to the monk version?"

"Is it too late for me to become a monk now that I'm thirty?"

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, Axue kicked Miyamoto Musashi away, then pushed Kato Danzo away with one hand, and walked away quickly with a dark face.

"Lord! Don't leave Danzo alone!"

Kato Danzo hurriedly chased after him.

"Yeah! Blind man! You haven't lent me your knife yet!!"

Miyamoto Musashi also hurriedly followed.

"...Can I not follow?"

Oda Nobunaga felt that he could not afford to lose face with this person.

Finally, after Miyamoto Musashi's repeated coaxing and persuading, the White-robed Shura finally couldn't stand it anymore and reached a gentleman's agreement with the Flower of Heaven.

Suzumaru Tsunetsugu and Myoho Muramasa can be loaned to Miyamoto Musashi, but they can only be used in the decisive battle with Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

At other times, Miyamoto Musashi was not allowed to draw these two weapons.

Axue was not worried that Miyamoto Musashi would steal the two weapons. After all, he had become very familiar with this big-breasted woman along the way, so there was no problem in lending her the weapons.

However, because this busty woman was particularly good at showing off, Axue was afraid that Miyamoto Musashi would borrow his weapons, and then for various inexplicable reasons, lose his two weapons.

After all, Suzumaru Tsuneji is his personal sword that has been with him for many years.

And Myoho Muramasa is the righteous sword that embodies Sengo Muramasa's ideals.

The two samurai swords now have extraordinary meaning to Axue and she will never give them up easily.

As long as Miyamoto Musashi treats his weapons in the same way, then there will be no problem for Axue to lend them to her...

"Of course I love these two knives! After all, they belong to you, Blind Man!"

Miyamoto Musashi snatched Suzumaru Tsuneji and Myoho Muramasa, and said happily with drooling.
