The white mist has almost completely dissipated.Only a little remained, floating on the stone slabs in the courtyard, spinning with the wind, like flowing clouds.

Lu Qiaoqiao sat kneeling in front of the door, with half of her body leaning against the wall. Her gaze passed through the vestibule and landed on the beautiful figure under the torii gate, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

"Mr. Sanriyue," the girl showed a reassuring expression, "I finally see you again."

——After seeing Sanri Yue Zongjin's familiar face, the panic and tension in her heart quickly dissipated like frost and snow under the scorching sun.

"Oh hoo~"

A wisp of cool air blew into Lu Qiaoqiao's ears lightly, and the 'Ghost' leaned over without a sound, with a lazy tone: "You have very enthusiastic eyes?"

"Could it be that," he spread his hands, "the little girls nowadays like that old..."

puff.

Lu Qiaoqiao reflexively hit the 'ghost', and punched his face.

"Uh, I'm sorry." The girl was stunned for a moment, then withdrew her hand embarrassingly, "That... accidentally..."

She slowly 'pulled' out her fist, and saw the face of the 'ghost', like ripples on the surface of a lake, fluctuating irregularly, and even his voice sounded vaguely: "Oh, are you hated? ? I think this face is pretty handsome."

"...(⊙⊙)."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the 'ghost' stretched out his hand, kneading his face up and down like kneading dough, "I haven't talked to anyone for a long time, I can't help but go too far...Forgive me, little Miss. Well, the Five Swords of the World over there, please don't radiate murderous aura at me. Although it is a bit hard to say, but now I..."

He puffed up his chest: "But it's still protected by the barrier?"

That's right, Lu Qiaoqiao has already seen that the enchantment covering this shrine seems to be centered on this 'ghost'.You can let him manipulate freely.

"Besides," the 'Ghost' lowered his voice, "it's almost here."

"...what are you talking about?"

'Ghost' didn't answer, just pointed forward: "Here——"

Lu Qiaoqiao turned her head involuntarily, looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Fu Sangshen in front of the torii gate holding a dagger.

Mr. Mikazuki...

She was a little confused, and just about to speak, she saw a figure rushing up the mountain road behind Sanri Yuezong.

So Lu Qiaoqiao's voice suddenly lowered: "...the Grand Ceremony Grand Hall?"

The grand ceremony is too light for the world.

"He was the one who came up first," the 'ghost' floated in the air, his tone sounded light, "It's been a long time since I saw you..."

Immediately after Sanri Yuezong approached, this Fu Sangshen who suddenly appeared in front of Lu Qiaoqiao rushed under the torii gate like a gust of wind.

He rushed too fast, and in an instant, he passed Sankayue Zongjin, stepped into the torii gate, and then seemed to hit an invisible barrier.

boom!

Fu Sangshen fell backwards heavily, and Gulu rolled down the steps, tumbling in embarrassment, until he bumped into the platform of the next step, and barely stopped.

"Well……"

He let out a muffled groan, but without the slightest hesitation, he propped up his arms and tried to get up.

So next, Lu Qiaoqiao saw Dadian Taiguangshi—the Five Swords of the World, which is known as the same as Sanri Yuezong, the secret treasure not handed down by the Maeda family, and the legendary powerful spiritual knife that can cure diseases. The most desolate beggar, the most difficult... climbed up from the steps.

"..."

It wasn't until now that Lu Qiaoqiao finally saw clearly how embarrassed he looked.

His clothes were covered with dust and grass clippings, the blood had dried completely, showing a dark color, and there were many wounds on Fu Sangshen's body, the most obvious ones were his palms—obviously, he just fell. Scratched by stones when going down.On the stone steps, bloody handprints were left.

In this way, without delay for a moment, he climbed back to the torii gate.Supporting his body with the knife again, he stood up slowly.

From the beginning to the end, Sankai Yue Zongjin just watched him calmly.

Watch him fall, get up, and finally, stand under the torii gate.

"Judging... God."

A muffled whisper came from the young man's mouth, he drew out the knife without hesitation, and raised his foot to continue to attack the barrier of the torii gate.

"Stop."

A voice came from behind.

Then there was a sigh.

Suzumaru Koji's seemingly eternally peaceful face gradually revealed from behind.

"If you continue to attack the barrier," the Buddha knife said without extra emotion, "in your condition, it will be broken, Odaita."

Three strikes and five swords in the world are all gathered in front of the torii gate.

Lu Qiaoqiao was finally able to recover from the inexplicable heart palpitations—from the moment Dadian Tai Guangshi appeared, her eyes could not help but lock on Fu Sangshen, and she was moved by the black hole-like despair on him. Hold your mind tightly.

It was as if, that Fu Sangshen... Although his face was expressionless, he was crying.

She collected herself and was about to say hello to the Buddha knife when she heard a long sigh from the 'ghost' beside her.

It seems unusually emotional.

"Hey, I finally saw you."

He chuckled, and said slowly: "Although I was able to appear before, I couldn't meet you. This is the first time to have a face-to-face conversation like this? From this aspect, it is thanks to this child. Right, Counting Beads Hall."

There seemed to be a slight wave on the calm face of the Buddha knife. He obviously closed his eyes, but he seemed to cast his gaze in the direction of the 'ghost'.Then suddenly: "Oh..."

After a while, he sighed softly: "It is indeed a strange fate..."

"I didn't expect that the object of worship in this shrine is you." He calmly called out the name of 'Ghost', "Qingjiang."

green……

Qingjiang? !

How familiar is this name!

Although Lu Qiaoqiao is a halfway monk (ignorant) judge, but she has already read almost two-thirds of the samurai sword appreciation book, and the one called 'Qing Jiang' in my impression seems to be only that one, right?

"You, you are..." The girl was so surprised that her voice became unsteady, "Smiling...Qing Jiang?"

"If it's a fake replacement."

The 'Ghost' pressed his chest, and smiled lazily: "Did I say it, I'm not a ghost, nor a ghost? Well... don't be too surprised, my current appearance is indeed misleading. Besides, Although your expression at the moment is very good, but your smile is the best."

"But……"

Lu Qiaoqiao hesitated, her voice became smaller and smaller: "Your appearance seems to be..."

——If it's the 'Smiling Qingjiang' vibrating knife, she has seen it before, right?Although I am not very familiar with this Fu Sangshen, there is also a 'Smiling Qingjiang' in Qiongcheng!

And that Fusangshen...

Not so long.

'Ghost' didn't say anything, just smiled.

"Occasionally you need to have an ingenious dress," he said lightly, "compared to this..."

His next words ended in a dull crash.

In front of the torii gate, Odenata Mitsuyo raised his hand, without any hesitation, he slashed at the barrier!

The air seemed to stir up a vortex, and the sword slashed down. There was nothing in front of him, but the blade seemed to hit an extremely hard object.

At the same time, dark red blood suddenly gushed out from Fu Sangshen's mouth.

"Grand Ceremony Grand Palace!"

Lu Qiaoqiao screamed and straightened up involuntarily.

Her gaze immediately crashed into a pair of eyes as dark as a pool of death.

——Dayen Tai Mitsuyo, as always, stared at her closely.It seems that nothing in the outside world can shake him.

Then Tai Dao raised his hand, without any hesitation, he slashed towards the barrier!

A crescent-like blade flashed, and Mikazuki Zongjin held the man's blade with the back of the blade.

With only one hand, he blocked the fierce second blow of Tai Mitsuyo.

"The Grand Palace," Fu Sangshen smiled calmly, "Please don't disturb my lord anymore."

Fu Sangshen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "...I didn't want to disturb anyone."

Blood slipped from the corner of his mouth, but Fu Sangshen didn't seem to feel it, and just took two steps back silently.

"It's just...you have to go through this barrier."

There seemed to be a flash of thunder in Chen An's sky.

Covered in blood and mud, Fu Sangshen, who was as desolate as a beggar, seemed to be shining slightly at this moment.

His movements are not fast, but they are extremely firm, holding the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, and raising it high, like a desperate beast——

"Grand Ceremony Grand Palace," Lu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but said, "Well, the barrier seems to be able to retaliate, you..."

boom!

Fu Sangshen's blade fell suddenly.

Lu Qiaoqiao's eyes suddenly burst into a blazing light - it was produced by the collision between Fu Sangshen's blade and the barrier. These two forces competed with each other, and even set off a sharp airflow like a knife.

The girl tightly grasped the door frame, her eyes were so stimulated by the white light that she shed tears.

"Grand Ceremony Grand Palace," she said loudly, "What the hell are you..."

What the hell are you doing!

Why do you want to enter this shrine so persistently?

From the time this Fu Sangshen appeared, Lu Qiaoqiao couldn't understand what he was doing...

But——he is Dadian Tai Mitsuyo, who was entrusted to her by Senior Kun...

"Qingjiang Palace," Lu Qiaoqiao turned her head and begged in a tone of voice, "If this continues, the Grand Ceremony Hall will be injured. If possible, can you please put the barrier..."

"No."

'Ghost' - Smiling Qingjiang, said calmly: "I can't do it."

He smiled slightly: "Don't look at me like that, I didn't mean to watch this guy recklessly hurt myself, after all...Speaking of it, it can be regarded as a little friendship with him. But that Sanriyuedian is really black-hearted , ruthlessly watching from the sidelines... Cough, I mean, I can't let him in."

"what?"

"I didn't lie to you," Qing Jiang smiled faintly, "I have not been given all the rights."

Lu Qiaoqiao was taken aback.

"But...you brought me here?"

Then she saw the 'ghost' raised his head, as if he wanted to see the blue sky outside through the dark zenith of the shrine.

"Ah... how should I put it, it seems a little embarrassing to explain in this situation."

"Originally, I also planned to ask Shuzhu Wandian to explain. How can I say that they are both Qingjiang sword sects. According to the kinship of human beings, they can be regarded as my eldest cousin? Since I am the elder brother, I have to bear a little more... But unexpectedly, Shuzhuwandian actually knew you..."

"As a result, I realized that you had no intention of staying, so I was so shy that I didn't say anything..."

"Qingjiang Hall," Lu Qiaoqiao had to interrupt him, "you, what are you talking about?"

Smiling Qing Jiang stopped talking.

The 'ghost' floated down slowly.

"Hey—in the end, is it up to me?"

He chuckled: "As you can see, I am Token Fusangshin who was placed in this shrine."

"And that Dizhuwan Palace," he raised his finger, and calmly told the origin, "while wandering in this world, he was also taken in here, and was told..."

"If he wants, he can wait here quietly."

"Wait—my... arrogant and ruthless former master, a reliable judge who was handpicked by me."

"Do you understand now?"

'Ghost' laughed as usual, lazily and pale: "You were sent here specially...you are the successor who was entrusted to this shrine."

"so--"

"It is only your right to allow other swords to enter here."

"..."

Lu Qiaoqiao's mind seemed to have turned into a mess.

She parted her lips slightly, and her voice was like a mosquito: "...the successor, me?"

"This enchantment... is controlled by me?"

She subconsciously turned her head and looked at the torii, and then, as if the mercury had burst and the ice had broken, the barrier in front of the torii suddenly surged like a wave, bang!Fu Sangshen, who had been holding his blade against the barrier, seemed to have passed through a layer of water, and suddenly fell into the torii gate.

The knife in Odenori Taimitsu's hand was thrown out immediately, and he fell heavily to the ground, and immediately sprinkled a bunch of blood spots on the stone slab in the vestibule of the shrine.

Lu Qiaoqiao's breath stagnates: "Da, Da Ceremony Grand Hall?"

Fu Sangshen, who was lying on the ground, trembled slightly, propped up his arms, and slowly... got up.

Lu Qiaoqiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and she stroked her chest: "Are you okay? Mrs. Dadian..."

The words were only half spoken before they stopped abruptly.

Fu Sangshen stood up from the ground, his movements were very slow, but his clothes were torn apart.

——When impacting the enchantment, the power of the spell's rebound had already torn Fu Sangshen's coat to pieces.

So now, the coat covered in blood and mud on Odeno Tai Mitsuyo's body, like a peeling shell, rustled to pieces, and a lot of his hair was cut off.

In Lu Qiaoqiao's impression, the name 'Dadian Taiguangshi' originally represented a sharp sword.

Then, in this enchantment, he became an uncle with a gloomy temperament.

Especially his pair of eyes like a pool of death left a deep impression on her.

But now, the coverings covering Fu Sangshen's appearance—whether it was the shabby clothes or the overly long bangs—dissipated like a wisp of smoke.

At this moment, for the first time, Lu Qiaoqiao... saw Fu Sangshen's face clearly.

——It was a face that perfectly matched his unusually moving voice.

"Judging... God."

He opened his mouth and called out to Qiaoqiao Lu in a low voice.Then he staggered and walked towards her.

Every time he took a step, some of the cloth covering his body fell off.Soon his upper body was completely naked.

The light that fell from the branches of the ancient trees that shrouded the shrine gently draped over Fu Sangshen's body, making his skin pale like a common sunless one.Bloodstains appeared on his chest.

As he approached, a little dark red blood oozes from the thin marks under the corners of his eyes, and slides down his thin cheeks like blood tears.

He walked slowly like this, but when he approached the stone steps in front of the shrine, he suddenly fell to the ground.

Lu Qiaoqiao woke up like a dream.

"Grand Ceremony Grand Palace!"

She bent down eagerly, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to Fu Sangshen who had fallen to the ground——

A cold hand touched her fingertips lightly, and then quickly retracted.

Dadian Taiguangshi withdrew his hand and turned to support the stone steps in front of the shrine. A blood-red handprint was imprinted on the stone steps—whether it was a short battle with Sanka Yuezong at the foot of the mountain, or just a moment ago. Cut to the enchantment, in fact, he was injured long ago.

However, Fu Sangshen remained calm, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.

He stood up—slowly again.

Half kneel down.

Like a knight serving a noble lady.

Like a samurai visiting his lord.

click.

The metal armor on his knees knocked on the stone steps, making a slight noise.

"I... Dadian Taiguangshi," Fu Sangshen said in a low voice, "One of the five swords in the world has been... sealed in the warehouse for a long time."

A Taidao was placed in front of Lu Qiaoqiao.

——Fu Sangshen untied his body knife.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes met Lu Qiaoqiao's:

"I was ordered... to come to your side."

—'Go to her'.

This is the only... and the last order he has received since his appearance.

……

…………

'Da Diantai, although you are the Five Swordsmen in the World, I don't need you now. '

'It has been confirmed that the tachi cannot be used at night and in street fighting.But the most urgent task now is to repel the retrograde army that invaded the Three Bridges.There are no extra resources for you. '

'If you break it, it can be turned into some material. '

"..."

Lu Qiaoqiao remained silent, and the tiny spots of light reflected on the body of the sword in front of her—Oden Tai Mitsuyo.

She recalled some episodes, that was the first time she saw Fu Sangshen... At that time, he was only the main body, and her spiritual power had not declined as much as now.

So when she touched 'Dadian Taiguangshi', those memory fragments belonging to this Fusangshen... were displayed in front of her without reservation.

It's a painful, sad memory.

The judge who summoned him sighed with emotion—although he is well-known, he is a useless blade in the current situation.

Since then, this sword has been forgotten for a long time.

Until now.

"Judging God," Fu Sangshen stared at her with no superfluous expression on his face, "Do you... have anything, do you need me to do it?"

It seemed that he was not in a state of embarrassment like a bereaved dog at the moment, but was sitting upright, ready to be ordered to fight at any time.

— as long as it is still needed.

Then you can go forward.

"..."

Lu Qiaoqiao suddenly tightened her hands, she was silent, she even turned her head, not daring to meet Tai Guangshi's eyes.

'Ordered...to come to you'

Follow orders.

On whose order?

From Fu Sangshen's words, Lu Qiaoqiao was deeply horrified to find out that the founder of this shrine took in Suzumaru Temple who was wandering in the present world, and the person who gave orders to Daen Taiguangshi...

And the "arrogant and ruthless" ex-lord in Qing Jiangkou with a smiling face, the person who said "shatter it" to Tai Mitsuyo...

They, perhaps, are one person.

"Senior Kun..."

The girl whispered softly.

"Oh, have you finally figured it out?"

Smiling Qing Jiang said softly: "That's right, this guy... Dadianta and I used to be the sword of the same person."
