Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 443 Warrior Spirit 4
When these people arrived at Kurokimaru's house, Kurokimaru was still sleeping, because Kurokimaru drank all night yesterday.

and so.

During the day, there is no way to work.

The knock on the door woke Kurokimaru up, and Kurokimaru opened the door in a daze.

when opening the door.

Only then did Kurokimaru have an ominous premonition.

——My treasured sword Wutai has not been hidden yet! "

"Has Wu Tai been seen by those people?"

The old warrior looked at Beibei and asked with some concern.

Wu Tai is not an ordinary knife, but a knife that emits a dark green light.

of course.

Such a knife is indeed a precious knife for Kurokimaru who discovered it.

And Kuroki Maru cherishes it very much.

but.

For ordinary people, especially for those people in the market who only farm and drink on weekdays, it may be just a feared evil knife.

The old warrior obviously thought of this, so he showed worry.

"Well, Wu Tai was indeed seen by those people."

Chen Beibei replied.

……

"Wu Tai was discovered by them, and everyone immediately connected with monsters and ghosts.

'What's wrong? '

Kurokimaru looked at those people and tried to cover Uta enshrined in the house with his body.

but.

Kurokimaru could also tell from the strange eyes of those people that they had already seen Uta.

'Because everyone fell asleep last night, so I don't know who won the contest between you and the three ghosts.So everyone came to your house together and wanted to ask about this. '

said the tavern owner.

'Competition about drinking?There is no victory or defeat, and the three ghosts and I are not drunk.It seems that you are all asleep, and the food and wine have been eaten and drunk.We'll be back first. '

Kuroki Maru looked at the tavern owner and said to him.

'Um.In this case, everyone should go to the tavern and take their money away.Let's go back, don't be here, it's preventing Kurokimaru from sleeping, he didn't sleep all night yesterday. '

The tavern owner took those people away, and Kurokimaru quickly closed the door.

now.

Kurokimaru has already realized that something is wrong.

Although the tavern owner helped himself out, he didn't let those people into the house to check Wutai carefully.

but.

They have indeed seen it, so that the news that they have a knife that emits a faint green light will spread in the village.

Kurokimaru knew, if he hadn't always regarded himself as a samurai.

Then I must also feel that this knife is very strange.

and.

If this knife is something else, such as a stone with a faint green light.

Kurokimaru would also feel that this stone is strange.

After those people returned to the tavern, they began to talk about the knife they saw at Kurokimaru's house.

'Did you see a strange knife in Kurokimaru's house? '

'I see...it was so dark in the room at that time, and the knife was emitting a dark green light, it was really scary. '

'Yes, yes, Kurokimaru seems to be enshrining that knife with something. '

Since then, when Kurokimaru went out, everyone always looked at him with strange eyes.

and.

There are people in the family who hire someone to do manual work, and there is no one called Kurokimaru anymore.

Kurokimaru knew that those people must have used his knives, and of course they were evil things possessed by monsters.

Because everyone avoids Kurokimaru.

Kurokimaru seldom went to the tavern to drink anymore, and Kurokimaru's life became even more boring. "

"Since it is regarded as an evil thing..."

The old warrior said with some regret.

"Yes, but to be honest, if we saw it, we should think so."

said the young man.

In that era, some ghosts and ghosts often appeared, interfering with human life.

In order to control these ghosts in the imperial court, the post of Onmyoji was also specially set up.

In the big temples and shrines, there are always incense and people coming and going.

Will treat Wutai as an evil thing.

It is also a very normal thing.

"After that, Kurokimaru basically finished his work every day and went home directly.

Although life has become more boring and gloomy.

but.

Because Uta was with him, Kurokimaru didn't have any complaints, just lived his life silently. "

"Isn't that the end of the story?"

asked the young man.

The story can actually end here, although the ending is a bit dull.

but.

As a ghost story, it was originally a story based on reality.

Plain is also understandable.

"It's not over yet."

Chen Beibei replied.

"A few years have passed like this, and there was a severe drought. Kuroki Maru said that the village where people are living has become shaken, because if this continues, everyone may be starved to death.

in one night.

The three ghosts suddenly came to Kurokimaru's house, and it seemed that something happened.

'Kuroki Maru, come with me. '

'What's wrong?Three ghosts. '

Kurokimaru asked suspiciously.

Although the three ghosts are from the same village as Kurokimaru, the three ghosts have rarely appeared in the past few years.

and.

This year we encountered a severe drought again, and people have starved to death on the roadside.

Kurokimaru felt that the three ghosts might have starved to death outside.

because.

Sangui said that he made money by selling commodities, and a merchant is a lower-level occupation than a farmer.

Most of the people who choose to sell goods are because they don't have land to grow food.Or the land he was allocated was too barren, and the food he grew could not support himself at all.

Now some ordinary farmers have begun to starve to death on the side of the road.

The Three Ghosts...Naturally, not to mention...

"The Red Dragon Gang on Qingfeng Mountain has decided to come to this village to grab food.

If you don't leave, once those people come to the village.You will surely be killed by those bandits along with other villagers. "

Three ghosts said.

Subsequently.

Kurokimaru took out some of the wine he had left, and Kurokimaru talked with the three ghosts for a long time.

The three ghosts told Kurokimaru everything.

Among them is the true identity of the three ghosts. In fact, the three ghosts are not a small commodity vendor, but a bandit on Qingfeng mountain.Because I have more time on weekdays, I can still hide my identity and drink in the village.

but.

It's different now, and it's reached the point where people are starving to death.

Bandits are also human beings and they also need food, so it is impossible to stop them from robbing food this time.

'Three ghosts, finish drinking the wine, let's go. '

Kurokimaru said.

'You won't come with us? '

asked the three ghosts.

'This is our village, how can I go?and……'

Kurokimaru turned his head to Uta, who was enshrined in the main hall, Uta's body exuded a green light: "And... I'm still a warrior!'"

……

Quaint tea house.

There was a faint scent of tea in the air, and everyone was fascinated by it.

"There is not much wine left, and the two of them are almost just talking about something.

Sangui wants Kurokimaru to go with him.

but.

Kurokimaru was also very resolute, and in the end, the three ghosts stopped persuading Kurokimaru.

Just drank the little wine in one gulp!

— After drinking, you can go!
This is what Kurokimaru said before, and the three ghosts have already got up and prepared to leave.

"Three ghosts, if those bandits come to the village to grab food, I will stop them. '

'Um. '

'I won't show mercy even if it's you, and I hope you will too! '

'Um. '

The three ghosts left regretfully.

In Sangui's heart, Kurokimaru could possibly compete with the entire Chiryu Gang.Once the Red Dragon Gang arrives in the village, it will inevitably be a one-sided massacre.

And Kurokimaru...will die..."

A sparrow was jumping around on a branch, and finally landed on the ground. The owner of the tea house broke some snacks and let them in front of the sparrow.

"It's a heavy story."

The owner of the tea house said.

Chen Beibei's story has come to this point, even if it hasn't reached the end yet, everyone has already guessed that it will be a heavy ending.

because.

In a few days, the three ghosts will definitely come to plunder the village with the bandits from the Red Dragon Gang.

And Kuroki Maru said that he wants to protect the village.

When the time comes, two people will inevitably fight against each other. It is a matter of life and death, and it is also related to their own bottom line.

As bandits, the three ghosts naturally had the bottom line not to betray their own gang.

And Kurokimaru has always regarded himself as a samurai, and now that a powerful enemy is attacking, the bottom line in his heart is not to be greedy for life and fear death, and escape alone.

Whether it was the three ghosts who successfully plundered the village, or Kurokimaru who succeeded in protecting the village.

In the end, one person will die.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei nodded, but did not deny it.

The sparrow ate up the food on the ground and flew away again. Chen Beibei continued to tell the story of Hei Muwan and the three ghosts.

[As the three ghosts said.

Bandits from the Red Dragon Gang came to Kurokimaru's village two nights later.

Whether it's bandits or people in the village.

At this time, they have been suffering from hunger for a long time. Even those who have food, at this time, most of them choose to eat the food when they cannot bear the hunger.

Everyone looks very weak physically.

The bandits originally thought that after they entered the village, they could see people kill people and easily plunder the village's food.

but.

They are wrong!

When the bandits arrived at Kurokimaru's village, the gate of the village was closed, and there was only a strong young man sitting on the ground at the gate.

Sangui recognized that the man was Kurokimaru, and his heart tightened.

"Kuroki Maru, you idiot!"

The three ghosts cursed secretly in their hearts.

"Do you want to be a hero and protect the village?"

The leader of the Red Dragon Gang saw Kurokimaru sitting at the gate of the village and asked him.

Kurokimaru did not speak.

Kurokimaru just took Uta who was next to him into his hands and placed it on his lap.

Because Kuroki Maru wrapped Uta carefully in brocade cloth, the bandits didn't know what Hei Mumaru was holding in his hand at this time.

"Is it Uta?"

The three ghosts thought to themselves.

Since the three ghosts had a drinking competition with Kuroki Maru, they have been attracted by Kuroki Maru.

He regarded Kuroki Maru as his confidant.

So the three ghosts have long known that Kurokimaru has an evil sword named Wutai.

And just a few nights ago, when Sangui went to Kurokimaru's house, Kurokimaru didn't hide Uta.The three ghosts also saw the evil knife.

but.

Even so, after all, no one has ever seen Kurokimaru use Uta.

So no one knows whether Wu Tai has any strange powers.

"Boss, this man's name is Kurokimaru, and he has a strange knife in his hand."

Three ghosts said.

"Strange knife?"

asked the leader.

As members of the Red Dragon Gang, the three ghosts, this action is also related to everyone's life and death.

Naturally, the three ghosts will try their best to stand on the side of the Red Dragon Gang.

"It's a knife that emits a faint green light."

Three ghosts said.

A trace of worry flashed across the leader's face, but it was only fleeting.

after all.

This time, all the members of the Red Dragon Gang came from the entire gang, a total of 80 to [-] people.

Even if the opponent has a strange knife, he is still alone.So there is nothing to be afraid of.

Kurokimaru untied the brocade cloth wrapped around Uta unhurriedly.

Wutai exudes a faint green light.

It looks eerie at night.

"bring it on."

Kurokimaru looked at the bandits and said to them.

in fact.

In Kurokimaru's heart, in the face of this natural disaster, it is no longer possible to entangle right and wrong, good and evil.

Bandits are people, and villagers are people.

Everyone's goal is the same, they all want to live.If you have to say that bandits are wrong, then probably you shouldn't rob other people's things.

but.

At this time, even ordinary people will rob each other.

What's more, bandits? 】

……

"Can Kurokimaru defeat so many bandits?"

asked the young man.

"I feel like I can't win."

said the old warrior.

"However, Mr. Toyaosu Ataka once had the deeds of repelling dozens of enemies by himself."

The young man looked at the old warrior and said.

"How can Mr. Toyayashi Antaka be compared with these people? Mr. Toyayashi Antaka is the founding hero of the Awaji country. In the battle where he defeated so many tyrants, never once was Mr. Toyayashi Antaka as invincible as a god descending from the mortal world?" enemy?"

The old warrior said with a longing look on his face.

Chen Beibei didn't know much about Anzhai Dongkang they were talking about, but he still knew a little bit.

Awaji country was famous for its Awaji water army during the Warring States period.

The Awaji Navy was considered the most important navy at that time, because once the Awaji Navy was controlled, it would be able to control the important passage from Shikoku to Settsu and even Kyoto.

Moreover, the strength of the Awaji navy is also very strong, almost to the point where no one can predict and contend.

As for Toyasu Atake, he was a general who once led the Awaji Navy, and was also the most powerful general in the Awaji country at that time, and his official position was taken as a guard.Toyasu Anzhai has been assisting the Miyoshi family with all his heart, followed his elder brother Miyoshi Changqing to fight everywhere, and soon took control of the entire Osaka Bay...
