"Gui Yi Kun is really powerful..."
After Wu Ming bowed and left, Yamada Hosori suddenly sighed. "Such a samurai, but I can't use him. Does this mean that I'm still lacking in terms of tolerance?"
Hearing this, Naito Takamasa's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he buried his head deep into the floor, not daring to say anything.
...
"Rescue Ki-kun?"
On the other side, Wu Ming was also thinking. "And after this is done, he will immediately give me 300 stones as a hereditary Knowledge Executor. The most important thing is that there are no additional obligations. Tsk tsk... this Daimyo seems to really like his daughter..."
At this time, the situation in the Izumo Nation was almost clear.
In the entire Izumo Nation, there were eight prefectures: Gongfanshi, Rendo, Nengyi, Dahara, Shenmen, Yiyu, Shimane, and Izumo. There were iron mines and large lakes, and they were famous for their samurai swords and fish catches. The total number of stones was 300,000 stones, and the current guardian of the Izumo Nation was the Yiyu Clan.
Marsha City was located in a corner of the Iishi District, and the Yamada family had 12,000 stones here, which made them a daimyo.
Although they were nominally subservient to the Yiyu Clan, in reality, they had never stopped fighting and forming alliances in the dark.
Coupled with the power of the shrines and dojos, as well as the influence of the demons and ghosts, the entire Fuso Continent was constantly falling and struggling in the chaotic times.
War and flames of war could be said to be a constant companion.
"Lord Samurai! The Lord has prepared a partner for you, please follow me! "
After leaving the Heavensguard Pavilion, a low-ranking person led Wu Ming to another room.
As soon as the wooden partition was pulled open, several gazes immediately focused on him.
"Hmm?"
Wu Ming glanced around and saw only three people inside, a swordsman, a samurai, and a priest, giving him a strange feeling.
"It's a strange feeling, different from the priest. Could it be Onmyoji?"
Wu Ming swept his sharp eyes around and said loudly, "I am the Gui Yi Family's supervisor, Guichi Dharma Eye! The captains appointed by the City Lord this time, report your names! "
"I'm a samurai from the Yamada family. My name is Akiyama Kanbing Wei!"
The warrior answered first. He had a burly appearance and a large beard on his face. Unfortunately, in Wu Ming's eyes, he was only a Level One Martial Artist.
"My name is Toda Mitsumasa, and I'm a sword student cultivating in the dojo!"
Another Swordsman said. Unfortunately, he was only a Level 1 Swordsman. He was even worse than the Swordsman who had died at the hands of Wu Ming.
'They're all cannon fodder. I'm afraid they only have one guide and familiarity with the situation. But this …'
Wu Ming looked at Onmyoji.
This person seemed to be in his twenties or thirties. He wore white hunting clothes with a red belt and a black Levi hat on his head. His manner was calm and elegant. At this moment, he bowed slightly and said, "I am Ito Keisu, a traveling Onmyoji!"
Above his head was pure white energy. He was indeed a second-level Yin Yang Spell Master.
"Very good … this time, everyone must work hard and rescue Onmyoji from the hands of the demons!"
Although Wu Ming's words were meaningless, he was thinking about Onmyoji.
The so-called Onmyoji was a master who followed the path of Yin Yang and used Yin Yang Spells. Onmyoji generally believed that Yin and Yang represented a concept of one being divided into two, that everything was two sides, and that one's decline and the other's rise and fall. It was also the concept of the creation of all things in the world. With this as the core, many spells were developed.
From controlling Spirit-branded Shikigami, casting curses and exorcism, to even divination, astrology, calendar, and other arts. They were also proficient in tea ceremonies and other arts, and were the guests of many famous people.
Moreover, they often participated in exorcism activities.
However, like all magical professions, the entry and advancement of Onmyoji was much more difficult than that of a swordsman, a ninja, or even a priest.
'Hmm … I heard that among Onmyoji, there are also Yin-Yang Life Apprentices and Yin-Yang Warriors. Only after passing these two levels can one be considered a true Onmyoji! In all of Japan, there are probably only a few people who can be called Onmyoji … not to mention the Onmyoji Heavenly Master, who is almost a mythical existence … '
Wu Ming thought to himself.
Yin-Yang Life, Yin-Yang Warrior, Onmyoji, and Onmyoji Heavenly Master were actually the standards of first-level, second-level, third-level, and fourth-level.
'It's quite similar to the classification of Swordsman, Swordsman, Swordmaster, and Sword Saint …'
Wu Ming took a deep breath.
The mortal power system in this world had vaguely touched the fourth-level! This was enough to make him feel wary.
'Of course, a third-level Onmyoji is extremely rare like a real person. In comparison, the probability of a martial arts grandmaster or Swordmaster appearing is higher … Of course, it's also very rare …'
At this time, he thought of another rumor, or rather, a guess.
Whether it was martial arts or swordsmanship, purely honing skills and tempering the physical body, no matter how condensed the spirit and strengthened the will, reaching the fourth-level Martial Saint and Sword Saint stage was already the limit!
The path of martial arts was at its limit!
On this point, even Japan's Onmyoji system gave Wu Ming such a feeling.
And in Taoism, fourth-level was only a human immortal. Later on, there were fifth-level earth immortals! Or even higher! In terms of development potential, it was far beyond that.
"I've just been invited by the city lord, so I don't know the specific situation yet. Let me ask someone to explain it to me!"
Wu Ming knelt down, his spine straight, and naturally had a kind of power.
Akiyama Kanbing Wei and Toda Mitsumasa both lowered their heads in awe. Only Ito Keisuke's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
He had traveled here and naturally heard rumors of supernatural help. He had always thought that it was a powerful swordsman.
But now, it seemed that the other party was also a powerful arcane master!
Ito Keisuke touched the pentagram-shaped Platycodon pendant that hung on his neck. It was made of fine iron, demon bird feathers, and the hair of a resentful woman. He murmured in his heart.
"This … Allow me to explain!"
Hearing Wu Ming's question, Akiyama Kanbing Wei went forward and knelt down, his face filled with pain. "Three days ago, my family's convoy was attacked by bandits!"
"Bandits? Isn't it a demon? "
Wu Ming was startled. "How many of you were there? How many people did the other party have? "
Akiyama Kanbing Wei replied, "Oda-kun and Hansan-kun were both samurai, and there were fifteen Ashigaru. The other party had dozens of people and set up a trap. Hansan-kun died on the spot and Hansan-kun was kidnapped. After Oda-kun came back to report the situation, he committed suicide to thank them!"
"After the incident, the master was furious and ordered her subordinates to investigate. Finally, she found out that it was the Earth Spiders who were entrenched in the southern part of the Iishi District. They had hundreds of people and occupied Mount Tsukiyama!"
"The master sent several waves of people to rescue them, but they all failed miserably in the end. Only when a dying ninja sent news did she find out that the leader of the Earth Spiders was a big monster. He used his demonic power to kill the people who went to rescue them!"
"Thus … the master found you two!"
Akiyama Kanbing Wei and Toda Mitsumasa pressed their foreheads against the floor. "Please! Please save our family's Hansan-kun! Even if we have to risk our lives, we will help the two of you! "
"That leader, what kind of monster is he? Do you have any information? "
Ito Keisuke, who seemed to have arrived only a moment earlier than Wu Ming, asked.
"I don't know … we only know that the leader usually looks like a handsome young monk, but he has incredible demonic power, and … and he likes to kidnap and eat women and children …"
"Could it be Shutendoji?"
Before he could finish, Ito Keisuke, who was next to him, exclaimed.
"Shutendoji?"
Wu Ming looked at Ito Keisuke, puzzled.
"This is a famous big monster in the Yin and Yang World. He once caused chaos in more than ten countries, and was finally forced to retreat by the Imperial Clan, the reclusive leader of the Onmyoji, and was sealed for 99 years. Who would have thought that he would escape the seal and hide in the Izumo Nation …"
Ito Keisuke sucked in a breath of cold air. "If it really is Shutendoji, then we must rescue Hansan-kun within seven days, or else he will definitely become the monster's food!"
His face was bitter. "Now, even if I immediately use the paper crane to inform Shichuan, I'm afraid it will be too late …"
"Let's go!"
Wu Ming suddenly said.
"What?" The three people in the room still could not react.
"A warrior should forget about death, this is my understanding as a samurai!"
Wu Ming said. "The confirmed enemy is a group of more than a hundred bandits, Earth Spiders, and a monster leader, right? Kanbing Wei, prepare four horses. It is not a short distance from here to Mount Tsukiyama! "
"Ha!"
This awe-inspiring attitude immediately made Akiyama Kanbing Wei obey. He also felt some kind of understanding, and his expression became calm.
"Toda Mitsumasa, prepare dry rations, rice balls, and of course, armor, bows, and a few katanas!"
Toda Mitsumasa also bowed and retreated.
"Then, may I ask Gui Yi Kun, what about me?"
Ito Keisuke asked curiously. "If there is anything you need me to do, please don't hesitate!"
"This time, there are only two of us in the main force, so we just need to rest well!"
Wu Ming did not stand on ceremony and half lay down. "Ito-kun, I will leave that Shutendoji to you!"
"Please forgive me for being direct!"
Ito Keisuke looked at Wu Ming strangely. "Why is Gui Yi Kun so confident?"
"A monster that has been sealed for 99 years should not have recovered to its peak, right? Otherwise, it would have gone back to seek revenge on Onmyoji … "
Wu Ming said.
"Hmm … and? Is it because of Gui Yi Kun's Yin Yang Technique? I can feel traces of spiritual power on you! "
Ito Keisuke gritted his teeth and finally said.
"Oh? You can tell? "
Wu Ming was startled, and then immediately smiled. "When I was traveling, I did follow a teacher. He taught me a strange cultivation method, so I also have spiritual power and can cast spells. If you want to treat me as Onmyoji, then so be it!"
