Swallow Back

It is obvious that I feel the demonic energy, it should be a monster and not a person.

However, as a youkai, seeing a stranger barging in, he has no intention of attacking at all.

Seeing this, Liu Yun did not rush to act, but tried to say hello to the monster warrior: "What's your name?"

But the other party did not respond at all.

Liu Yun changed his way of saying hello again.

Still no reply.

It looks like this dumb Yokai Samurai can't communicate.

So Liu Yun turned around and asked his teammates, "Do you have any clues?"

Saito Asanobu thought for a while, and said in an uncertain tone: "This, it seems to be called... ahem... it is a monster called 'The Faceless Samurai'. Legend has it that he did not fulfill his duties during his lifetime, leading to serious consequences. , I cut it off in shame...cough...cut off my face before turning into a monster."

Hearing this, Liu Yun frowned and said, "As you put it, the 'intention' of this 'faceless warrior' lies in the unfulfilled duties of his life. That has become a thing of the past. There is absolutely no way for us to make his obsession disappear, right?"

Saito Chaoxin shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. According to the knowledge of the old man, the obsession with monsters...cough...you don't have to be fundamentally resolved, it just needs to use a stronger will to convince the monsters to believe. Once the matter has been resolved, it can...cough...can play a similar role."

Liu Yun said: "You mean there is a way?"

Saito Asanoin pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Just need to know...cough...know what the details of the Faceless Warrior's obsession are."

Liu Yun frowned and said, "That's hard to do! This guy doesn't speak at all."

Saito Asano looked around and said, "According to the principle of illusion, we must be able to learn more information from the vicinity. Because illusion without flaws is not allowed to exist."

That being said, it is really troublesome to find clues in an empty room.

Perhaps historians can see the clues in some details, or maybe the big detective can observe some inconsistencies.

But Liu Yun was not one of these two types of people.

After only looking around for a while, he decided to give up, turned around and asked, "Is there no other way?"

Saito Asano said tentatively: "Perhaps... defeating this monster head-on can also unlock the illusion? But I heard that the faceless warriors are often brave and good at fighting, but it's different from... ahem... different from before you The bull ghost to deal with..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yun couldn't wait to interrupt, "Say it earlier! I'm better at this."

Saito Chaoxin opened his mouth to stop it, but it was too late.

Liu Yun stretched out his hand to hold the hilt, and was about to attack, at this time—

The Faceless Warrior, who was standing still on the ground, suddenly roared, "In front of Your Highness, who dares to draw a sword rudely!"

Then it moved like thunder, fast like lightning, and slashed towards Liu Yun with a knife.

Before the words fall, the blade comes first.

It was almost at the point where the afterimage appeared, and the air current from the blade's edge was enough to make one's face hurt.

Liu Yun couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This speed, this strength, is indeed powerful enough!

Liu Yun's body subconsciously moved to the side and rear, and at the same time, he drew his saber with his right hand, and performed a reverse slash from the lower left to the upper right.

This action looks a bit funny, not very coordinated, and definitely does not appear in any genre's secrets.

Therefore, after Liu Yun slashed out, his feet were messy, he stepped back a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

However, he avoided the faceless warrior's slash just right, and then attacked the opponent's chest from the extreme distance.

Although it was a slightly off-balance blow, it was impossible to use the strength of the whole body, but with the strength of his right arm, Liu Yun's blade cut through the old-fashioned black armor of the monster like cutting tofu, causing at least a foot of damage. A long, one-inch-deep wound.

Immediately, black and red blood spurted out and splattered all over the ground. The Faceless Warrior let out a huge wailing sound, and continued to attack regardless of the pain.

But with the wound involved, the monster's movements were obviously slower than before.

Liu Yun flashed past easily, stepping back first and then advancing, with one move from the upper left to the lower right, he slashed the cassock, adding another glorious scar to the opponent.

The faceless warrior, with a huge "X" scratched on his chest, bleeds like pulp, his skin is ripped apart, and he finally fell to the ground and died.

He left a last word that sounded rather tragic, although he didn't know the reason: "His Royal Highness, I'm sorry, I tried my best."

……

Saito Chaoxin was stunned, stared at it for a long time, then shook his head and said: "In our division...cough...it was said in the inheritance of the division that when encountering a faceless warrior, we must find a way to shake his obsession. , you must not fight head on, unless you are with... ahem... unless you are walking with the Juggernaut."

"Really? It's really not easy to kill a monster that requires me to use a second knife. Hmm... I will definitely ask the current swordsman for advice in the future to see how much weight I have." Liu Yun casually pretended to be one. Forced, and then asked suspiciously: "Is this thing just created by illusion? I don't think so, illusion can create such a powerful monster? How strong does the caster have to be?"

Saito Asanoin frowned and speculated: "It should be a half-truth and half-truth skill. The environment is fake, but the monsters are real. Use real monsters as... ahem...as a formation. Eye use, creating a false environment."

Just as he was talking, the corpse of the "Faceless Warrior" monster gradually turned into black pus and blood, and flowed all over the floor.

Then, the entire small palace gradually became blurred, translucent, and then completely dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, the unknown rocks and sand piles on the land outside were gone.

Now, the "poison island" in this swamp has changed from flat land to lush grass.

And on the north and south sides, there is a small temple respectively.

Liu Yun found that the feeling of being unreal and real still hadn't disappeared, as if he was still in an illusion, and he couldn't help frowning greatly.

Saito Asanobu coughed and took out his pile of magic tools again, and after a long time of frantic manipulation, he came to the conclusion: "We just cracked the illusion of the first layer, and now we are facing...cough...now we are facing , is the second floor."

Hearing this, Liu Yun thought to himself, isn't this nonsense?With the experience of reading online novels in my past life, I can make the same judgment as you.

But this kind of hurtful words were not spoken directly.

Liu Yun just smiled and said, "In the palace, there seems to be a samurai monster protecting some 'His Royal Highness'. Then in the temple, it should be a monk monster."

Saito Asanobu didn't take the joke, but glanced sideways.His expression was very solemn, as if he couldn't understand why Liu Yun was so relaxed.

Chapter 83 The Second Floor Illusion, the Monk Tuhua and Master Baifang

As mentioned earlier, the illusions on the second floor above the "Poison Island" are two small temples on the lush grass.

Saito Asanobu still had a solemn expression on his face and looked extra vigilant, but he couldn't say any safe and reliable way to break the illusion for a while.

So, just follow Liu Yun's style, just kick the door and go in, and chat with the monster inside.

The first to enter is the small temple on the left.

Pushing the door open, it was just like the palace in the illusion on the first floor. It was empty, with only the floor, walls and roof.

Not even a Buddha incense burner.

If it weren't for the words "all things are impermanent" and "nirvana silence" written on the gates and walls with obvious religious characteristics, laymen may not necessarily see that this is a Buddhist building.

Inside the empty small temple, stood a young monk with a handsome face, no more than 14 years old by human standards, wearing a navy blue cassock that seemed expensive, and holding a delicate lotus flower in his hand .

Liu Yun and Saito Asanobu entered the room.

The little monk, as if he had never heard of it before, only stared at the lotus flower he was holding in his palm, his eyes were demented, and the corners of his mouth had a happy smile.

This scene is obviously very strange.

The lotus blooms in summer, and now it's winter.Even if there is any special way to keep flowers for two seasons, it is impossible to be so fresh and delicate.

There is naturally a demonic energy in the little monk, but it is very weak and does not look strong.

Liu Yun turned around and asked his teammates, "Do you know what kind of monster this is?"

Saito Chaoxin said with a wry smile: "Monsters turned into monsters by monks, or monsters related to temples, there are at least hundreds of types from ancient times to the present. This old man needs...cough...he needs to think about it."

Liu Yun was puzzled and said, "Isn't Buddhism the best at dealing with monsters? Why are there so many monks joining the enemy?"

Saito Asanobu took it for granted: "It is precisely in order to find a way to delay the monster that I have to be in constant contact with the monster, so once in my heart...cough...if I have an overly persistent desire in my heart, it will inevitably be eroded by the monster. "

Liu Yun nodded, no longer bothered about this issue.

Saito Asanobu then fell into deep thought, as if searching for knowledge of youkai in his mind.

Looking at this situation, Liu Yun felt that he couldn't just stand and wait, he had to do something.

So he opened his mouth to say hello to the little monk: "Little Zen master, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

When he spoke, he didn't actually expect anything, and he didn't expect the monster to answer his question properly.

After all, according to Saito Asanobu's statement, the "resentment" in the monster's heart is its biggest weakness. How can people expose it?

Unexpectedly, after asking such a question, the little monk actually raised his head slowly, maintained a smile, and replied softly: "The little monk has nothing else on his mind, the only thing he cares about is that he hasn't seen a flower seller for a long time. Donor, I don’t know how she is now? The little monk has been sent to the temple since childhood, accompanied by the ancient Buddha, and rarely sees his parents and family. , so that the little monk feels that there is a trace of warmth in the world."

After listening to this sentence, Liu Yun thought about it, and asked the little monk's Dharma name, the name of the temple where he was, and which sect he belonged to.

But the little monk did not answer at all.

Only when the words "wish", "wish" and "unexpected things" are asked, the little monk will repeat the paragraph just now.

It feels like I've seen those chatbots that are very rough, commonly known as "artificial mental retardation".

Liu Yun made some inquiries and found out the rules.

Over there, Saito Chaoxin also woke up from his contemplation and asserted: "This old man remembers, this should be the 'Little Monk Tuohua', it was moved by the ordinary heart in ancient times, but it was hindered by the precepts...cough... The incarnation of a little monk who cannot express his precepts."

Liu Yun complimented on the surface: "Sir Saito really knows how to remember."

In my heart, I felt that this guy's response was too untimely. I've almost asked this question. What's the use of you coming to a similar conclusion?

Of course, there is no need to say such words that destroy unity for the time being.

Well, for now...

Then the situation of the small temple on the left is basically clear, but I still don't know how to solve it.

Liu Yun and Saito Chaoxin went out again, walked dozens of steps, came to another small temple on the other side of "Poison Island", and pushed the door in.

It was still empty, with only the floor, walls and roof.Some Buddhist words are written on the gate and on the walls.

If you look closely, it seems to be exactly the same as the small temple just now.

The difference is that there is no longer a young monk in gorgeous clothes, but an old warrior monk with a strong Confucius and a Naginata, wearing a white robe.

It seemed that he was even less characteristic than the little monk holding a flower just now.

Still indifferent to uninvited guests.

This old warrior monk has a very strong demonic energy, giving people the impression that it is slightly stronger than the faceless warrior of the previous layer of illusion.

However, Saito Asanobu saw it at a glance: "This is the master of Baifang, a warrior monk who is obsessed with maintaining the precepts and continuing the reputation of the temple...cough...the warrior monk has become a monster."

Hearing this, Liu Yun suddenly felt a little worried.

So he also opened his mouth and asked, "Zen master, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
