The long sword seemed too long even if it was slung across the back. The 'famous sword' sent by Masamune Loli was slung across the back of the waist, forming a cross with the ribs that had been specially struck by a craftsman. `
As for the original fighting knife?
Because of the new equipmentwell, it has become the raw material for upgrading the cost.
¡®Well, it¡¯s not as good as making a new onebut if I order a good knife, I can¡¯t afford it at that timeand what¡¯s the price?¡¯
So, it¡¯s just a rib gap anyway, even if it¡¯s intended to be used in combat the only thing that needs to be strengthened is its sturdiness and penetrating power.
It is more like an armor-piercing awl than a traditional short sword. So the demand for materials is not that high.
¡ª¡ªIf you only have requirements for the tip of the knife, even if it costs money, it won¡¯t be used much.
¡®In the end I became Zoro¡¯
A veritable three-sword style, although it only looks like it.
"Please be more careful"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off off Off Off Off We Can¡¯t Take It Away. After all, it is a dangerous mission, and Yaoji himself is worried about accidents.
So in the end, the only one traveling with us was the one sent by Loli Masamunewell, Ashigaru.
An ashigaru who is not even a samurai.
¡ª¡ªThe task is only to bring the evil spirit to the village where the evil spirit is haunting, and the rest of the soldiers are of no help at all.
¡®To be honest, it¡¯s quite emotional. Will I die if I send someone to help? ¡¯
¡°But this is just a complaint.
"Yes, so do you. Take good care of yourself these days."
Finally, I put on the newly sewn green robe and the bamboo hat for traveling.
"Yes, I will"
In fact, it is not that Yaoji has never thought of refusing, but that thought only occurred for a moment - after all, in any world where order has not completely collapsed, provoking authority and rules is an extremely stupid thing.
¡ª¡ªThat is not like what is said in some novels, where you can conquer some people casually based on your personal strength, and then be easily appreciated or rise smoothly.
In reality, if you offend someone you shouldn't offend - then the only outcome is death.
No one will give you a chance, and no one will underestimate you.
" Squeezing an ant to death is not a superfluous thing, but a very simple thing.
People who are upset by ants usually step on them instead of sparing their lives.
The same is true here.
Although Masamune Loli seems to be smiling and easy to talk to, asking him to get rid of ghosts seems like a joke. But in fact, it is impossible for Yao Ji to refuse.
After all, the other party is the lord of one party. If the instructions she gives are easily rejected, her authority will be damaged. `And in order to maintain this authority and continue to maintain absolute rule in her territory, it is imperative to kill those who violate her instructions.
"One person may not be enough, but there are ten people. If ten people are not enough, there will be a hundred people. If they cannot be defeated by force, they will harass them all the time. If they will be killed if they get close, they will keep shooting arrows from a long distance."
Kill, poison, exhaust, starve to death.
There are many ways to kill a person, and even more ways to make a person's life worse than death.
Does Yao Ji think that with a time stop, he can fight against an army? Then in the future, when he grows up, there may be a little possibility, but now? I'm afraid that after killing more than thirty people, he won't even have the strength to gain it, right?
After all, knives are not light at all, and human muscles and bones are not fragile at all.
??????????????????? Stopping from time to time consumes more energy.
What¡¯s more, there are gifts.
Gifts similar to salary, extra thank-you gifts, expensive cloths, and famous swords.
???????????? In this world where there is no Internet and comics, and a little bit of crazy, it is a comfort to receive these things.
Rather than accept it, you foolishly resist authority to defend the freedom that has been there from the beginning and has never been there?
That¡¯s really it¡¯s hard to evaluate
¡ª¡ªIf someone really does that.
"Okay, I'm leaving"
It wasn¡¯t that he turned around without any thought, but it was equally straightforward.
While waving with his back to Maiori, Yaoji started on his way with the thin and weak ashigaru.
And this tripis two days and one night.
¡ª¡ªThe two spent the day traveling and climbing over mountains and ridges, and at night, they found a random place and lit a fire and slept in the open all night.
To be honest, this matter itself is quite dangerous. After all, in this era, nothing is strange at night. But for Yaoji, it's another story - in the past two months, in addition to self-training, Yaoji has not been able to activate and master his special ability of 'time-stop'. stop.
In addition to being able to independently control time to stop, or slow down time by up to sixteen times he also discovered a new effect that time stopping brought to him.
¡ª¡ªThat means you will never be attacked by surprise.
Like knowing the attack in advance on the timeline, something so strong that it cannot be called a premonition keeps Yaoji on non-active vigilance at all times. It is not just limited to the concept of "under attack", but as long as it is an emergency or a sudden situation that the monster cannot predict - then time will suddenly stop, and then, there will be a strong sense of discomfort caused by the stop of time. It will force Yaoji to wake up from sleep or other states.
A sneak attack? For Yaoji, there will always be only counterattacks.
Therefore, only for Yaoji, sleeping with clothes on in the wilderness is as safe as during the day.
Or rather, it¡¯s just as unsafe. `
So, when they finally arrived at their destination, although Yaoji just complained a little and felt that he didn't have a good sleep on the way, the ashigaru was really relieved - and the next moment, he just felt at ease. He was reminded again by Yao Ji of his purpose. His bitter face appeared again.
"So, the battle is over, where is the ghost?"
¡ª¡ªThey are not here to travel, but to exorcise ghosts.
"this¡€¡€¡€"
Hesitantly, Ashigaru was a little hesitant.
Although the ashigaru of the Date family are always much better than ordinary peasant soldiers, when it comes to being uneducated and less knowledgeable, they are both on the same level.
The so-called little wisdom of farmers? There is no such thing in this day and age. Even experience cannot be passed on, and ignorance is rampant here. The so-called farmers are poor people who will die easily if they leave the village where they have lived for generations, and it is difficult to establish a foothold in the surrounding area.
¡°If you don¡¯t know, just ask the village chief.¡±
While opening the ashigaru, I started to wander around the village. For this small village with not many people, it doesn't take much time to walk from one end to the other.
¡®Abouta hundred people? ¡¯
"I don't know whether this number is too much or too little. In fact, I don't even know how many people there are in the small village where I live. Yao Ji thought casually while looking at the surrounding buildings casually.
¡ª¡ªThose are the types that look very shabby and shabby. However, there is only one difference.
"Um?"
That different room almost immediately caught Yao Ji¡¯s attention, so he walked over there. Then, while asking, "Excuse me, is anyone here?" he pushed the door open without hesitation.
Discourteous and unflattering. The owner of this place, as long as he has some status, will not have a good impression of such a reckless and impolite Yaoji. It can be said that if it was for social purposes, Yao Ji has completely failed at this moment, right?
But that¡¯s assuming there are still people in the room.
"Ah, it is indeed empty."
The empty courtyard is quite dilapidated. It can't be called gold and jade on the outside, but it's a veritable mess on the inside.
The small courtyard, which was originally a bit stylish, was in a mess as if it had been blown by a storm. There were huge scars everywhere, and several walls had cracks as if they had been hit with a heavy hammer. In front of them, the Japanese-style house that can be reached through the small courtyard is even more miserable. At first glance, it seems as if the demolition team came here for a visit, but they found out that the demolition was wrong
Well, that¡¯s the feeling anyway.
"This state, what the helloh, it really doesn't stop"
Went to the courtyard and began to examine the injuries.
Knife marks, and traces of digging with huge claws. These two kinds of marks are everywhere in the small courtyard, and the ones at the back are the most common.
¡®However, the knife marks are not deepand they are all different shades, so they don¡¯t look very strong¡¯
The scene looks quite intense, but in fact
"A very bad ghost"
If it is a battle between humans and ghosts, this scene is more like playing than fighting.
??Ghosts play with people, or in other words, ghosts play with people.
'It can be killed with one blow, but it took so long'
There was only one fatal attack, but that one attack directly smashed the man who lived here, who was probably a samurai, into pieces.
And if you want to ask why Yao Ji knew such a thing. The reason is naturally very simple.
Because in the small courtyard, not far from the wall, the broken tachi sword and the blood stains that had attracted many mosquitoes were really obvious.
Not intending to check there, Yao Ji continued to walk towards the half-collapsed Japanese house.
Because there is a time stop, there is no need to worry about encountering unexpected situations. Therefore, even if others dare not, it is okay for Yao Ji to go deep into the abandoned house.
Walking in, carefully choosing the path, and then going deep into the innermost part.
"The battle starts from here, right?"
Yao Ji quickly found the boundary between destruction and integrity.
In a Japanese-style room that was probably a living room or something else, the signs of the tatami being torn to pieces stopped abruptly.
At the same time, on the other side of the trace, there is a scabbard.
He bent down, picked it up, and then recalled the broken knife outside the house.
¡ª¡ªThe conclusion reached is as expected.
"The ghost ran into the house, and then gave the samurai time to draw his sword Then, he playfully moved the battlefield out of the house Destroyed all the way, destroyed all the way and then killed the samurai in the courtyard. life"
The results are already obvious.
"Give me a chanceAlthough the result is terrible, it is a ghost's style. Is this also a challenge?"
Unconsciously, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Yaoji stroked the saber on his waist and already had a plan in mind.
¡®Maybe, it can be done? ¡¯
Chapter 12: The Contract between Ghosts and Humans
"Then, let's sort out the information¡ª¡ª"
After that, it was the next day that I decided to take the initiative to look for ghosts instead of being found.
After having a veritable meal, Yaoji took the ashigaru and sat around with the village chief.
"¡ª¡ªTo put it simply, that ghost is about seven feet tall? He is all black and invulnerable, right?"
Most of the information discussed was collected by Ashigaru, but the problem is Although there are quite a lot of eyewitness testimonies, the information is quite exaggerated. Even if Yao Ji carefully sorted it out In the end, the ones he found useful and credible were So a little.
Like something that can kill a house with one claw, or eat people with just one bite Even if that kind of thing can scare the ignorant Ashigaru and themselves half to death, if it is placed on Yaoji's side, it will at most frighten his black line. Just add one more.
¡ª¡ªAlthough he has black lines all over his face now.
"besides¡€¡€¡€"
"No, no, I don't need you to describe it. You just need to confirm whether what I said is correct."
"Um, yes"
"You tried using traps, right? Then the guy got hit two or three times, but then he never got hit again?"
"¡€¡€¡€Yes"
??????? Then combined with the scene seen in the samurai¡¯s house, it can be basically confirmed that the ghost is not an unintelligent beast. It¡¯s about acting for a purpose and having the ability to learn.
"But you haven't spoken?"
"Yes"
"If you don't speak, you may be disdainful to speak, or you simply won't speak.
¡®However, this is not the main focus¡¯
? Touch your chin. Yao Ji thought of the samurai house again.
