Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 441 Warrior Spirit 2
In this chatty storytelling.

Someone asks a question, which is undoubtedly a kind of recognition for the storyteller.

after all.

Once you ask a question, it means that someone is really listening to your story.And looking forward to how the story will develop.

"That night, those people covered their faces and went to Kurokimaru's house.

They beat Hei Muwan hard.

and.

He also carved a word on Kurokimaru's face with a knife..."

"What words are engraved?"

The well-built old man looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.When the old man spoke, he was full of air. Even if he was just chatting, he could still give people a sense of majesty.

"It's a farmer character. They want to use this to let Kurokimaru know that he is just a farmer. And if he has this character carved on his face, Kurokimaru may not have the face to continue walking outside as a samurai. .”

Chen Beibei replied.

"It's too much. Even though Kurokimaru is just a gangster, he didn't do any real bad things. What's more, he did some good things to fight against injustice. Since such a word is engraved on his face, it's a big deal for Kurokimaru. For Maru, it must be considered a very big humiliation."

said the old man.

It can be seen that the old man has indeed deeply felt the injustice of Kurokimaru.

perhaps.

The old man himself was a samurai.

Even if such a word is engraved on the face of an ordinary man, it can be regarded as a kind of humiliation.

What's more, he is still a person who has always regarded himself as a warrior?
"Since then, Kurokimaru has never considered himself a samurai in the village.

In order to make a living, Kurokimaru only started farming.

However, Kurokimaru's strength has always been great, and his body is not bad, so if someone in the village asks Kurokimaru to do some physical work, Kurokimaru will go too.

after all.

Only relying on farming can only eat enough.If you do physical work, you can earn some money and live a better life. "

"I have completely become an ordinary person. However, this appearance is good, and I can live in peace of mind, without worrying about those messy things, and there are no other worries."

The well-built old man picked up his own tea, took a sip, and said.

Obviously.

The old man was very satisfied with Kurokimaru's transformation. After all, Kurokimaru didn't just sink down, nor did he wholeheartedly seek revenge on those who bullied him.

In this way, that matter did not seem to have much impact on Kuroki Maru.

At least.

Kuroki Maru still lived a relatively stable and comfortable life.

"But in this way, the story seems to have become flat. How can it become a strange story?"

asked the young man.

"It's going to turn into a ghost story soon, Kurokimaru lived a peaceful life.

then.

One day, he received a job to help someone demolish an old house.

In such a village.

If you want to build a new house, you will basically build it on the foundation of the old house.So the demolition of the house is just a very common thing.

Kurokimaru immediately agreed.

I thought in my heart that I could earn a little more money. After finishing the work, I would have a good meal, buy a bottle of good wine, and treat myself.

In the following days, Kurokimaru has been demolishing that old house.

Compared with other people who demolished houses, Kurokimaru was still very diligent.

Always the first to go in the morning and the last to leave at night.Because they are all priced by the day, the homeowner also praised Kuroki Maru and appreciated it very much. "

"Such a person should become rich easily."

said the young man.

"It can only be said that it is average. Compared with other people in the village, Kuroki Maru is only at a very average level. After all, such jobs are not often available. And Kuroki Maru has made money. I will go to eat and drink a meal.”

Chen Beibei replied.

Chen Beibei looked at the people who were listening to his story, they looked very satisfied.

I don't know if Chen Beibei's story suits their taste.

Or it was because of the sunshine in winter and the leisurely atmosphere of the teahouse that made them so.

Chen Beibei knew that chatting in such a place was more casual.

And even if it's a game of taking turns telling stories.

Everyone will not be too demanding on storytellers, as long as they can hear a very ordinary story, they are actually very satisfied.

Chen Beibei couldn't help feeling more confident.

after all.

The story has not yet entered the climax, and everyone has followed their own rhythm and entered the story.From time to time, someone will come up with some ideas of their own.

He even cares about Kuroki Maru.

"On the third night of the house demolition, it was almost dark, and the other people who demolished the house together had already gone home.

Only Kurokimaru was still working.

Because Kurokimaru had originally planned to dismantle a small house that was originally a place for sundries, and then went home.

and.

According to Kuroki Maru's prediction, it shouldn't be too late to finish demolition of this small house.

At least it was possible to get home before dark.

'With a little more, I can call it a day and go home. '

Kurokimaru thought that he would be able to call it a day and go home, and then he could buy some good food along the way, and go back with a pot of good wine.I couldn't help but feel happier in my heart, and I became more energetic when I was working.

Hei Muwan neatly stacked the dismantled bricks aside, and some places that were glued tightly could only be dismantled by tools.Most of these bricks can be used when building a new house, so Kuroki Maru is more careful.

Try not to cut those bricks in half.

After Hei Muwan took down a brick that was difficult to remove, Hei Muwan saw from the gap that there was a faint green light inside the wall. "

Having said this, Chen Beibei deliberately paused.

Because in the ghost talk, once these things appear, it means that ghosts and the like may appear.

and.

This is also the most attractive part of the ghost story.

"Ghostly green light... Could it be a ghost fire?"

asked the muscular old man.

Obviously.

Earlier, when the young man said that he wanted to tell a strange story about cats, the old man directly told the story that the young man planned to tell, and said it first.

And he also said that he had seen Maoyou when he was young.

It can be felt that this old man should have a good understanding of some strange stories.

The faint green light is indeed very similar to the will-o'-the-wisp in the ghost talk, the old man would think, it's normal.

"It's not ghost fires. Ghost fires usually appear around human corpses. How could there be corpses in the walls?"

Chen Beibei said.

"makes sense."

The old man looked at Chen Beibei, nodded, and replied.

Although there are stories of corpses hidden in the walls, those are all modern stories.

And Chen Beibei lived in 1564.

In this era, almost no one would think about the fact that there are corpses in the walls.

"What's in there?"

The old man picked up the tea, took a sip, then looked slowly and said: "If Hei Muwan got it wrong, it would be a disappointment."

Obviously.

The old man has been predicting what direction the story told by Chen Beibei will develop.

This is very common in this kind of turn-by-turn storytelling game.

after all.

Once it is predicted that the other party will tell the plot next, it will be praised by others.

"You even know this..."

"As expected of someone..."

Even if there is no person who praises verbally, in my heart, I will feel that that person is indeed very powerful.

And for the storyteller, someone has been discussing where the story they're telling is going.It is also a very pleasing thing. After all, in this case, it proves that my own story is attractive.

"Kurokimaru is not mistaken, there is indeed a dark green light inside the wall.

Seeing this unusual sight.

Kurokimaru was still a little scared, but if he left like this, he would probably keep thinking about what was inside the wall when he went back, making it difficult to fall asleep.

At last.

Kuroki Maru still chose to remove the few bricks that covered the light source.

Kurokimaru saw a samurai sword inside.

This made Kurokimaru stare blankly at the samurai sword, the dark green light was emitted from that samurai sword.Things like katana swords are almost impossible for ordinary people like them to get.

The owner of this old house is just an ordinary citizen.

Kurokimaru felt that this was bestowed upon him by Myojin.

As for why.

Kurokimaru didn't think too much, maybe it was just a reward for working late into the night. "

"The gods don't reward people for such trivial things. But Kurokimaru was able to get this samurai sword because he has some fate with this samurai sword."

said the old man.

At this moment, Chen Beibei saw a black-sheathed black-gold sword beside the old man.

This made Chen Beibei more certain about the identity of the old man.

Must be a samurai!
Moreover, the identity of the old man should be relatively noble, at least not comparable to those ordinary warriors.

A samurai is inseparable from a sword, and getting a famous sword is almost every samurai's dream.

and.

This kind of thing is often unexpected, and everything can only depend on the luck of the individual.

After all, famous knives are not just well-forged knives, they cannot be bought with money.

"It can also be said to be fate. After all, it was obtained under such circumstances. It feels a little incredible."

Chen Beibei replied.

……

The sun was shining in the sky, dispelling the cold of winter.In the leisurely tea house, there is an elegant fragrance.

Chen Nanbei was telling a strange story about famous knives.

"After Kuroki Maru got the sword, he named it Uta.

in the following days.

Kurokimaru enshrines Uta at home, and has been waiting for the opportunity to use Uta.

Kurokimaru has always believed that Uta has a spirit.

Because Uta has always exuded that strange green light, even if ordinary people saw it, they would not think it was just an ordinary samurai sword. "

"It seems that Kurokimaru is still very religious. But for a samurai, even if he is accompanied by an ordinary sword, he must believe that his sword has a spirit. Only in this way can he understand his sword better. , can be used more smoothly.”

said the old man.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei nodded.

Chen Beibei took a sip of tea and thought about how to tell the next story.

Then it went on.

"Although Kurokimaru got Uta, life is just going on as before.

There is no difference from before.Farming, working hard, drinking...

Utai has also been kept at home by Kurokimaru, and has never been taken out or used.

but.

Even so, people in the same village knew that Kurokimaru had a strange knife.

It happened in a tavern.

After Kurokimaru finished his work, because it was still early, he went to drink in the tavern.

Met a few people who usually work together.

Some people began to brag about their drinking capacity. Such things often happen in pubs.He could see it almost every day, and Kurokimaru didn't care.

But this time, it was a man named Sangui, whom everyone hated.

Because when he brags about himself, he always looks at others with disdainful eyes.It's like saying, you are all rubbish, you don't know how to drink at all.

'Kuroki Maru, you and Sangui should compare your drinking capacity. '

One person suggested so.

Sangui is a very drinkable person, and he often brags that he has a high drinking capacity, which is unmatched by anyone.

that's the truth.

The three ghosts have competed with other people in the tavern many times, and each time the other party drank unconsciously, but the three ghosts still look like they haven't drunk enough.

'Garbage...garbage...'

After the three ghosts competed, they still shook their heads and said so.

In fact, Kuroki Maru had a problem with the three ghosts very early, and Kuroki Maru's alcohol capacity is also very good.

'That's right, that's right, Kurokimaru, you can compete with the three ghosts.You're a good drinker too, aren't you? '

Although I saw others say this, since Kurokimaru had Uta, he rarely stayed outside for too long.Because Uta is already very important to Kurokimaru.

Kurokimaru fears that it will be hard to tell the winner if he competes with the three ghosts for drinking.

Moreover, Kurokimaru has never been drunk so far, and no one has ever been drunk.It is said that the drinking capacity of the three ghosts is a bottomless pit, even if it is the same as the previous day and night, they will not be drunk.

If so.

Kurokimaru is also very worried about his wallet, after all, Kurokimaru has worked so hard to earn money.Almost all of them are used for eating and drinking, and not much has been saved until now.

"Kurokimaru, you can compete with the three ghosts."If you want, I will treat all the wine you two drank in today's competition, how about it? '

The owner of the tavern saw that everyone was asking Kurokimaru to compete with the three ghosts, so he also came over to join in the fun.

Hearing what the tavern owner said, Kurokimaru began to waver.

after all.

If he could drink a good meal for free, this would be considered a luxury dream for Kuroki Maru.

'It just so happens that I also want to see how my drinking capacity is. Since I can drink for free, I agree. '

Kurokimaru thought so in his heart. "
