Chapter 178 180. [Sekiro] The secret of returning from the land of hell

『【((
It was the early days of the Tokugawa shogunate.The first general, Ieyasu, had passed away long ago, and the second general, Xiuzhong, was seriously ill. The regime was in the hands of Xiuzhong's eldest son, Iemitsu.At this time, the rule of the shogunate was not so stable, and people loyal to Toyotomi were still running in secret, waiting for the moment when the Tokugawa shogunate showed its flaws.Among the powerful external daimyos, there are not many who secretly communicated with Toyotomi's old man.

The Date clan is one of them, and it has even been regarded as a relatively blatant opposition to the shogunate.

The feudal kingdom founded by Masamune Date, the one-eyed dragon, is currently on alert.The shogunate is also aware of the instability of the Date domain, and is mobilizing troops around.

The storm is approaching, and everyone is panicking.

In such a state of heavy security, let alone Ashina Castle, even the castle town is difficult to enter.I tried it a few times, and the best one was pretending to be a soldier and sneaking into the vicinity of the samurai house at the bottom of the castle, only one step away from the castle tower.But that time was also very dangerous, almost being discovered.

The miscellaneous soldiers in the city should not be underestimated. Many of them have red eyes, especially at night.According to Rin, most of these people drank the water that transformed them into half-human, half-monster immortal bodies.

It took a little bit of work to kill the little boss who drank water on Pirate Island before.And now it's a team of small bosses, it's really frustrating to think about it.

Not daring to be arrogant, the two quietly left Weiming City.

Where to go next?

Fortunately, Rin seems to be familiar with this place, and under her leadership, the two came to an ancient temple.It is very dilapidated and it seems that it has not been repaired in a long time.

"What is this place?" Nan Xiao asked.

"There is no name here," Rin replied, "I only know that Young Master Xing once said that if she is captured, go to this ruined temple under Weiming City to find a Buddha carving master, and he will help."

"Why does Ah Xing know this?"

"The young master's mother told her. Don't ask me why the young master's mother knows this. Some things, I know, I know; some things, I know, I don't know; but some things, I don't know, I don't know. "

...My head is spinning from what you said. You know how easy it is to chat to death like this?Nan Xiao was speechless.

"This way."

Lin took Nan Xiao into the main hall.The inside was completely dilapidated, the floor was rotten in many places, and it was extremely dirty.In front of the central Buddha statue is a lamp like a bean, and in front of the lamp sits an old man with a withered face, laboriously carving the Buddha statue.

"Have you finally waited for this day?" the old man with a withered face said, "Woman, you... must be a wolf whose mission has been frustrated, right?"

Rin: "...I can't say."

The old man snorted: "That's what ninjas are like. Forget it, I won't ask. Hum, the power of Longyin, the familiar smell...how many times have you come back to life? Anyone who wants to get this power must be interested in your master's You must be thirsty for blood."

Rin's voice became anxious: "You mean those villains will attack Young Master Xing soon? What's going on?"

The voice of the old man was full of nostalgia: "Is the son of Long Yin of this generation named Xing? Hehe, it's a good name. I don't know the specifics. But, you can ask the woman in the yard outside the house, she should Knows better than I do."

Rin turned around and went out, while Nan Xiao stayed there, looking at the old man with interest.

The old man continued to carve Buddha statues.One of his hands is fake, with no muscles, only empty metal bones and some silk threads of unknown meaning.However, the movement of that hand was very flexible, no different from a real hand.This is indeed an unusual plane.Just this tattered prosthetic limb, the main world would never be able to make it.

"This is called a ninja prosthetic hand," the old man explained, "keep staring at it, are you interested? As long as you are willing to cut off your left hand, I can put it on for you too."

"Thanks, I think my left hand is better."

The old man stared at the hook rope wrapped around Nan Xiao's waist, and suddenly said: "Your hook rope is made of good material. Let me modify it for you so that it can be used on your hands. Don't worry, you can use it without cutting off your left hand." use."

That's great, Nan Xiao has been practicing Nathan Drake's hook and rope stunt in Uncharted Sea recently, and he always feels that it is not so interesting.Now someone is willing to provide equipment upgrades for free, it is like giving a pillow when you are sleepy.He quickly untied the hook rope and handed it to the old man.

"The transformation will take a few days. Come back after a while. What are you still staring at? The Buddha statue that I am carving probably doesn't interest you either."

Most of the Buddha statues carved by the old man have sad faces, which are completely different from the Buddha statues in ordinary temples.

Nan Xiao took out the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom from his bosom, and showed it to the old man: "Old man, look at how well this thing is carved."

The moment he saw the jade seal, the old man's pupils shrank, and his eyes seemed to burst with sharp light. "This, this thing!?" He suddenly stared at Nan Xiao and asked, "How many people have you killed?"

Nan Xiao shook her head: "I can't remember."

"That's true, that's true, it seems that many of the karma of resentful souls entangled on it are your karma."

"That's not the point, old man, I want to know, if I give it to you, will you get its power?"

"Give it to me?" the old man sneered, "What's your idea?"

"No malice, just feeling that there is a lot of power in it, but I don't know how to get it. My question just now is just a hypothesis. 'If' you got it, how would you get its power? "

"Young man, I advise you to give up this idea. Although I don't know how to get its power, I know very well what the final outcome will be. Maybe for a short moment, you will feel that you are very powerful, comparable to God. But that is not your power after all, your soul will be eaten up by it, leaving only a shell. And it becomes the master of the shell.”

The old man looked down at the Buddha statue in front of him, and sighed: "The most powerful man I have ever seen, he came back from the kingdom of the underworld, with a long knife in his hand, and his might is like a mountain. But so what, he will still turn into dust after all. Young People, give up, don't think too much about power that doesn't belong to you. It will only harm you, and make your soul completely dissipate, and you won't even have the chance to reincarnate."

"Come back from the land of underworld?" Nan Xiao immediately asked, "Is there such a thing as resurrection after death?"

"There is a place called Senhoji Temple, which houses two large swords that can kill even the undead. The blade of one sword is vermilion, and anyone who dares to pull it out will definitely die once. Therefore, if there is no resurrection, He cannot become its master. The knife is engraved with the inscription 'Weeping Tears', which is its real name. The blade of the other handle is pitch black, and the knife is engraved with the inscription 'Open the Door'. It is a The sword that opens the door to the underworld. If a person with the power of Dragon Yin sacrifices his or her life, the person from the underworld can be recalled, and the power of resurrection can be passed on to him, allowing him to be resurrected at his peak."

Nan Xiao put away the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, clasped his hands respectfully and saluted: "I see, thank you for your advice, master."

The old man still sighed: "I know you didn't listen. Forget it, that's all I can advise you." After speaking, he continued to lower his head to carve the Buddha statue, as if Nan Xiao never existed.
