[Comprehensive] Mirror of Death and Life

No matter how fast the red shadow retreats this time, I can keep up with the preparations in advance. What's more, besides me, there are two other companions who are secretly searching for the body of the person who pretends to be a ghost. It's just pretending, so it's quite relaxed psychologically.

This kind of ease is reflected in the actual action, that is, while chasing me and leisurely observing the surroundings, the focus is on the yard.I saw lush vegetation and dense shadows. There were vaguely some animals walking in the depths of the tall thatch, bringing the weeds to rustle.

I pretended not to notice, but yelled loudly at Hong Ying, who was running faster and faster, "Stop!"

"Stop!" Another voice sounded at the end of the corridor, it was Hui.The next chirping sound was Yazhi's voice, and she gave a short drink, a silver light streaked across the darkness, and the crisp sound of metal impact was heard far away in the quiet night.

Seeing that my companion had made a discovery, I didn't delay any longer. I stepped on the wall next to me and jumped into the air to cut off the thin line above my head. As expected, the red kimono in front of me fell to the ground.

Holding Kunai, as soon as I landed on the floor, I saw a man rushing towards me in a panic.Judging by his attire, he wears a battle armor on the outside, is lined with civilian clothes, has bandages on his legs, and holds a strange gun in his hand. He should be called a wandering warrior.

Originally, before Ninja appeared, ninja and samurai were two hired professions that went hand in hand. Even because samurai had a higher positive attitude than ninjas in combat, they were more popular among daimyos on the battlefield.Until the Sage of the Six Paths appeared and passed on the method of refining chakra to the ninjas, the strength of the ninjas has grown by leaps and bounds, and the strongest among them has the power to move mountains and seas, and the balance gradually tilts towards the ninjas.One goes up and down, the profession of samurai gradually declines, except that the asking price is cheaper than ninja, and they are more unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals. They can't find a better way to attract employers.Despite this, there are still a large number of samurai who can't find employment and wander around every year. These wandering samurai are collectively called ronin.

Rogues don't do production, and don't settle in any place. They usually roam the world with their sword skills and guns. When they have no money, they take simple tasks.But no matter how drunk they are, they will never forget that their current tragic experience is mainly due to ninjas.That is us.

The ronin rushing towards me should have been planning to run away.As a result, after seeing my attire clearly, his face changed, and the anger of hatred was ignited in his eyes.This anger ignited his rationality, prompting him to stop, spread his legs apart, and point his arms at me: "Brat, how dare you trouble us..."

I turned my wrist, turned Kunai in a circle, shrugged my shoulders and stretched my muscles and bones: "Obviously you are the ones who cause trouble for others first. It's fine if no one lived in it before, but now the new owner wants to move in, you still have to play tricks , Even the Onmyoji was injured."

I would say it's the stupidest thing to do.They thought they could continue to live in this house by driving away all the onmyojis?Without Onmyoji, there are still ninjas. Even without us, there are other people. Master Shancha bought this mansion not to keep it beautiful, but to keep his lover!

I heard that his father, the daimyo of the Fire Country, never valued his son, and probably wouldn't give him much money. The money to buy the house is not too much, and probably not too little. How could Mr. Shancha be willing to put this Throw the money into the water without even a splash.

If I were them, I would choose an onmyoji to cooperate with him, take a sum of money and fly away, there will always be another place to live in the world, when the time comes, the onmyoji will get the name except "evil ghosts", and they will be in the village Li ate and drank for a while and got rich, and Master Shan Cha got the mansion to make his lover happy. Isn't this a happy scene for everyone.

Obviously the ronin didn't know what I was thinking.He stared at me warily, and when he looked at me, he flew into a rage: "What kind of eyes do you have! Are you looking down on me? Ah!" Then he rushed over.

I smiled, turned over and rolled over his blade: "Uncle, you are very angry, I'll just talk about it."

The three Kunai Chengpin shot straight at the opponent's door.

Ronin seemed to be quite strong, so he took down my three kunai with a knife, but just after he finished, several shurikens came spinning and piercing through the air.

In fact, he still has the upper hand. The task only says to find out the cause of the haunting, and if it can be solved, it will be solved. If it can't be solved, it will not affect the completion of the task, so killing the other party is not necessary for me.The most important thing is that ninjutsu, which is the most lethal to ninjas, cannot be performed here at all. If I burn down the house with a fire escape, wouldn't the employer want to kill me in turn?

Thinking about it this way, the movements of his hands became a little slower, but the other party's eyes were good, and he found this flaw right away.

I saw a cold light flash in the bearded ronin's eyes, and his face was cold and solemn: "Here!" The blade deflected, and a cold light like autumn water enveloped his head towards me.

I raised my head, and the blade as thin as a cicada's wing in my sight was getting bigger and bigger in front of my eyes, and I immediately raised my hand to seal——

With a puff, □□ split a piece of wood in two.

I stared at the neck and the position of the main artery on the neck, which was close at hand, and greeted the person whose back was facing me with a smile: "here."

Then, taking advantage of the moment when he turned his head subconsciously, he waved his hand and chopped it down.

I wiped the blood off my face, picked up the gun that fell on the ground and weighed it.This knife is quite sharp, but it is a bit heavy for me.The body of the knife was covered with the blood of the original owner, and the guard on the handle was also old, covered with dirt and sweat, making it look dirty.Although I was picky in every way in my heart, I held it in my hand and waved it in the air, and the sound of piercing the air was rustling, but I couldn't help seeing Lie Xinxi, sheathed the knife and carried it behind my back.

As soon as he adjusted his position, Hui jumped from the yard to the corridor, and without taking off his shoes, stepped on the smooth wooden board all the way to the dirt, which made my heart hurt a little.He didn't notice it, and when he saw me and the corpse under my feet, he jumped back in fright: "Jing, what are you doing!"

"What?" I was baffled, feeling that my face was still sticky and uncomfortable, so I wiped it again.

Hui twitched the corner of his mouth, and threw me a handkerchief: "Stop using your hands, if you wipe it again, you'll become a perverted murderer."

I don't know what I look like now, but it's not much better to imagine.It's all my fault that I insisted on being handsome just now, but I was directly sprayed with blood all over my face when I didn't notice it for a moment.When the main artery in the neck is actually cut, the blood can soar to the ceiling, like a column of blood.Just now I just let the ronin take a small mouth, but there is no blood column, but it is not much better, it is a fountain.

md I still have a taste of rust in my mouth.

While wiping my face with a handkerchief, I followed Hui into the yard.After walking two steps, I suddenly thought of a question: "Is this yours?" The handkerchief in my hand was pure white, exuding the fragrance of soap and sunlight, and there was a small round fan embroidered on one corner, No matter how you look at it, it doesn't match Hui, it's more like something for girls.

"What, what's the matter?" Hui turned his head unnaturally, and when he saw my expression, he was startled and then blushed and shouted, "What do you care about so much!"

I shrugged innocently: "I'll just ask."

Hui saw that I had finished wiping it, took back the handkerchief, and stuffed it back into his pocket: "Give it back to me after wiping it."

When we came to the depths of the yard, close to the yard wall, Yazhi was waiting for the two of us there. Seeing Hui's blushing face and an indignant look, he tilted his head: "What happened?"

I walked behind Hui and smiled: "It's nothing." My eyes moved down and landed on the two corpses at her feet. The corpses were also dressed as ronin. One of them was holding the wooden wheel I saw before, while the other was It is something made of clay with a strange shape.

"What is this?" Bending down to pick it up, I looked it upside down. The palm-sized earthenware was an irregular spherical shape, with several columnar holes protruding from the surface, and a circular opening at one end.Shake it and there is nothing inside, it is hollow, like some kind of musical instrument.

"This should be the crying sound we heard, and it was also made by these wanderers." Yazhi explained to me that Hui hadn't recovered yet, and was standing far away from me.

I read it for a long time but didn't understand it, and I didn't bother to delve into it. I threw this thing back on the corpse and clapped my hands: "The task is completed. I can report to Lord Shancha tomorrow and I can go home."

Hearing the word go home, Ya Zhi cheered, Hui also turned cloudy, and looked at the dark mansion: "Finally I can go back, this mansion is beautiful but it is gloomy."

I couldn't help laughing again: "Are you scared? Who said there are no ghosts in this world before, I think there is a coward here."

After a moment of silence, an earth-shattering roar came from the yard: "Uchiha Kagami! Shut up!"

The next day we piled up the three corpses and the red kimono props outside the house, and ushered in Camellia-sama who came in a hurry. The coquettish woman did not come this time, and behind him was just like an attendant. people.

When Master Shan Cha saw the corpse, he couldn't help frowning, and took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose.

I turned my head and looked at the corpses beside me. Except for the one whose neck I cut was a bit miserable, the other two were all stabbed to death with a single blow, so it's not terrible.

The ghost knows what kind of world these nobles see.

At least Master Shancha didn't want to listen to my explanation, he only heard that the haunting was caused by these three ronin, so he raised his hand to indicate that we can go, and don't forget to dispose of the corpses, he didn't even think about these people pretending to be ghosts listen.

Seeing that he couldn't wait to get rid of these corpses as soon as possible, I could only keep my mouth shut, found an open space and set a fire to burn the corpses and clothes.When it was burned, Yazhi looked at the raging fire and felt a little pity: "That dress is quite beautiful."

I nodded and couldn't help agreeing.The red kimono is embroidered with deep and shallow brown maple leaves, and there are water waves of the same color at the bottom to symbolize the autumn pond. This kind of clothes is really rare for us.

When Master Shancha signs the mission statement and pays the commission, it means that our mission is officially over.

Saying goodbye to the master and servant, Hui Yazhi and I walked down the path on the hillside. After walking for a while, my heart moved, and I turned my head to look at the mansion on the top of the hillside.Behind Master Shan Cha and his servants, the courtyard door was wide open, as if a woman in red was leaning on the door and watching us silently, I blinked again, and the woman disappeared without a trace.

The black painted door swayed slightly, as if it was just being blown by the wind.

I turned my head and pretended I didn't see anything, only I knew that there was a layer of hair on my arm.
