God Judge's Blade

Those who saw Mina wielding a sword went back satisfied. That night, the topic of discussion among a group of swordsmiths changed from the swordsman they were in charge of to how to make a sword that could survive in the hands of the swordsman Mina. long sword.

Mr. Tetsuchi was even more troubled. Many people came over to replace him, to make Japanese knives for Mina, or simply said that they wanted to cooperate.

As if he couldn't make it at all, it's ridiculous!

Mr. Tetsuchi has a headache here, but Minagi's side seems quite relaxed.The swordsmiths were inspired by her moves, but not many people came to quarrel with her.

The most diligent follower was Xiao Tie. The child seemed to want to ask her for something, but he didn't dare to go forward, so he could only watch secretly.

Mina wanted to talk to him, but the child quickly left the place as if frightened.

There were too many times, and Mina didn't bother to bother with it anymore.She didn't have anything to do for the time being, and she thought of the hot spring that Mr. Tiedi had mentioned, so she wanted to try it.

Forging knife village rarely receives outsiders, but there is a place for outsiders to rest.There are also prepared clothes inside, and if you want to go to the hot springs, you can use yukata and towels.

Minai learned about the hot springs in the forging knife village from Mr. Tetsuchi's letter early, so she brought her own bathrobe and towel.

The yukata was bought before coming here, and the style is relatively ordinary, but for Minagi, as long as it fits well, it will do.She put the bathrobe and towel in the little basket.

After finishing, Mina went to ask Kyojurou, who is next door.

The room of the two is next door, and because the structure of the house is different, she only needs to knock on the paper wall between the two rooms, and the next door can hear her voice.

"Mr. Purgatory, there is a hot spring in Forging Sword Village, do you want to go together?"

The girl politely extended the invitation.

The hot springs in Forging Knife Village are divided into male springs and female springs, so Mina asked clearly.She used to soak in hot springs in her own room, but she knew about mixed bathing hot springs and male and female hot springs, but she had never seen them.

It's just a pity that Butterfly Shinobi and Ganluji Mitsuri didn't come together.

Mr. Purgatory did not refuse Mina's invitation, and the two packed up their things a little, and headed to the hot spring along the path.

The hot spring pool is open-air, and the two pools are in different places.

Mina said goodbye to Purgatory Kyojuro, and when they came to the women's pool, there was no one around.Her jay crow followed, farther away from her.

The hot spring pool was quiet, Mina's excitement quickly cooled down, she got out of the pool, the temperature of the hot spring water was too high, and Mina's skin turned red after soaking for a while.

She sat down quietly.

Because there was no appointment with Purgatory Xingjurou to come back together, Mina went back by herself after soaking.She met Xiao Tie again on the road. The child hid behind a tree trunk. He seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and there were still leaves on his head that had not been brushed off.

The unnagi's crow flew down from the tree and landed on her shoulder.

The little crow began to complain.

"Mina—" That child has been following you.

Xiao Tie followed Wei Nai all the way, and found that she was going to soak in the hot spring, so he stopped at the fork and squatted down to wait for her to come out.

She waved to the child.

The girl in a thin bathrobe was not as aggressive as she was when she swung a knife today, so Xiao Tie hesitated for a moment and walked over.

"Miss Mina..."

"Well," Mina responded, lowering her head and asking the child whose height was only up to her chest, "What do you want from me?"

"Can you come with me?" Xiaotie asked.

Mina had nothing else to do now, she nodded and followed Xiao Tie through the woods.

The child walked in a hurry, he realized that he was going too fast, and occasionally stopped and turned to look at Mina.Mina was wearing clogs, so it was inconvenient for her to walk too fast.Xiao Tie didn't urge her, so she walked at her own pace.

The two soon arrived at the destination, and Xiao Tie pulled Wei Nai's sleeve, motioning her to look at the dolls in the forest.

The puppet turned its back to the two, and from the back, six arms could be seen protruding from the sleeves.

"that is……"

"It's a fighter doll." Xiaotie said.

This fighting doll was made by Xiaotie's ancestors. It is said that it is a fighting doll made by copying his moves based on a swordsman in the Warring States period as a template.

Because the skills at that time were too superb, and Xiao Tie's father died young, the children left behind did not understand the skills of dolls, and the dolls were seriously damaged, but no one could repair them.

Neither could Xiao Tie, he couldn't understand what the letter left by his ancestors meant.

The young child came to Mina to let her see the doll, not to ask Mina to help fix it, but to ask about the moves of the organ battle doll.

Xiao Tie does not have the talent to become a swordsman, and he is too young to be a swordsmith, and he is still learning.Only a ten-year-old child bears the expectations of his ancestors. He wants to fix the doll and make it a training weapon for the Ghost Slayer Squad.

Such a powerful doll, just left there, must be very lonely.

"It is the mechanism doll made by my ancestors for combat training—Yuanyi Zero Style." Xiaotie introduced, "It can do one hundred and eight movements, which is very powerful!"

Mina couldn't listen to the words after that.

The familiar name came to her ears again in the time and space separated by hundreds of years.

Mina put down the small bamboo basket in her hand, and walked towards the mechanism doll whose back was facing her.

The doll has been damaged to the point that its face is cracked, and the left side of the face is all shattered, and there are still dark red spots on the forehead.The doll's expression is dull and indifferent, it doesn't move, and its eyeballs don't move, it's like a pool of stagnant water.

"Yuanyi."

Xiaotie followed.

"It's called Yuanyi Zero Style." Xiaotie corrected.

Is this what Yuanyi looks like when he grows up?

Mina touched the doll's face, she raised her head, the fine pieces of wood on the doll's cheeks slipped off little by little, and she gently brushed off the crumbs.

"That...can you help?"

Xiao Tie was still anxiously waiting for her answer.

Of course, a swordsman as powerful as Ms. Mina would not have so much spare time to stay in the knife forging village.So Xiao Tie has been entangled, until just now, before making up his mind.

If someone can disassemble Yuanyi Zero's moves, he can repair the mechanism doll according to the dismantled moves in the future.

Even if it can only be repaired a little bit, Xiao Tie wants to try it.

He didn't want to give up, that's why he always carried the key of the Yuanyi Zero Style with him, because he was afraid that someone would take away the starting key and completely destroy it, making it irreparable.

Mina did not answer Xiaotie's words for the time being.

She carefully observed the parts on Enichi Zeroshiki's body, and found that the way it was made was similar to the limbs on Hyakkimaru's body.Mina carefully looked at the places where the limbs meet, then turned to ask Xiaotie.

"Can I see how it moves?"

"It's possible..." Xiao Tie whispered, "But once it starts, it's hard to stop."

"And... it will break."

Yuan Yi Zero Style is broken, and if it is restarted, it will be the last carnival before it stops dancing.Even if he is a layman, Xiao Tie has come to observe many times.

Mechanism dolls are no longer available.

"En." Mina replied, she touched Enichi Zero Shiki's face, her fingertips slid down from the doll's cheeks, and stopped suddenly at the place of the earrings.

There are two pairs of earrings.

One pair is on Tanjiro, and the other pair is on Enichi Zeroshiki.

"That……"

"It's okay." Mina withdrew her hand, restraining her emotions together. She bent down gently, touched Xiao Tie's head, and comforted him, "Don't worry, I will fix it."

"Hmm... um?!" Xiao Tie nodded halfway, only to realize what Miss Mina said just now, "Fix, fix it?!"

"Ah."

"Could it be...Miss Mina, do you know the art of mechanism puppets?!" Xiaotie asked anxiously.

Of course I don't understand, Mina has never learned this kind of knowledge.But there is still time, and she can study during this time.

Since it was made by Xiaotie's ancestors, it must have left things like letters.Mina only needs to read the manuscript. As for the mechanism doll, there are ready-made ones, and she can dismantle the Yuanyi zero type.

But before that, she needs to see how Yuan Yi zero type swings the knife, so that she can completely copy the one hundred and eighth type.

Maybe some extra stuff can be added to make it even more powerful.

"I can't," Mina replied, "but I can learn."

Generally speaking, no one would believe Mina's words, but her tone sounded steady and confident, Xiao Tie's head got hot and she agreed.

"……it is good!"

Almost at the moment when he spoke, Xiao Tie felt a little regretful.But the words have already been spoken, and it would be too bad to change them.The masked child took out the key, and placed it in Mina's hand tremblingly.

"Then... if you learn it, can you teach me...?"

"it is good."

After Yuanyi Zero Style was opened, there was a strange clicking sound from the limbs.It has not been maintained for a long time, the parts of its body are rusted, and even the movement of swinging the knife is not as sharp as imagined.

Mina was just avoiding, she didn't fight back, carefully observing the direction of each pose.

The movement that can only be restored by six knives is light and fast, but it is quite easy for Mina to hide.Xiao Tie hid aside and watched, seeing Miss Mina leaping up lightly, and belatedly realized that she didn't have a weapon in her hand.

"Oops!!" Miss Mina forgot to hold a weapon!

He looked worriedly at the figure in the forest.

Mina didn't have a weapon, but her movements were as unpredictable as the wind. Yuan Yi zero's moves were rehearsed from beginning to end. After she finished watching, she pulled out the key from the mechanism doll without hesitation.

The movement of Yuanyi Zero slowly stopped.

Although Mina didn't draw a knife, Enichi Zero-style really couldn't sustain the next action. Almost at the moment of stopping, there was a strange sound inside it.

"Crack——" The six arms could no longer support the high-intensity swing of the knife, and fell with a clatter, leaving fragmented parts all over the floor.

Mina bent down and picked up one of the tiny cylinders.

Those are the parts that connect the joints of the mechanism puppet, and they have been covered with dust and debris for hundreds of years.

"Miss Mina?" Seeing her in a daze, Xiao Tie called her name softly.

"The key." Mina returned the key to open Yuanyi Zero Style to Xiao Tie, and patted his head again, "Don't worry, I've already learned it."

"I'll take care of fixing it."
