It is said that each of the Twelve Famous Swords of Good Works has incredible magical effects. Some people have also made a comprehensive ranking of the power and achievements of the Twelve Famous Swords.
The "Ghost Sword" Aki's matching sword "Kikumon Shrine Isshou" that Su Lun saw before in the Pirate City was the last twelve skills, but that famous sword was already known to everyone as a killer
device.
Someone once said that the top three have [Forbidden Object]-level power.
This "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa" is said to have the power to kill demons and gods, and its reputation among professional swordsmen is as good as any cursed object.
Such a famous sword is actually enshrined in an ordinary small village ancestral hall?
........
Although Su Lun knew that there might be a gap between the legend and reality.
But that "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa" is definitely not simple.
Seeing Su Lun's surprised inquiry, the old man nodded and said, "Yes, that's the 'demon sword'. To be precise... it's the 'demon-slaying sword'..."
Su Lun was really interested.
He also instantly understood why the old man hesitated to speak before.
Afraid of telling her, Su Lun felt greedy.
After all, whoever knows about this famous sword might want to keep it for themselves.
However, the name of this "demon sword" sounds strange, and the more I listen to it, the more interesting it becomes. But it is still safely displayed in the ancestral hall, which already shows that this sword is not so easy to take away.
.
The old man continued: "There were people who wanted to take it away in the past, including thieves, ronin, samurai, wealthy businessmen, great swordsmen...even daimyo. But without exception, they all suffered misfortune, and no good results were achieved, and they also harmed those around them.
And every time it was taken away, the knife would come back inexplicably after a period of time. Later, under the guidance of an expert, an ancestral hall was set up in the village. After being worshiped with incense, nothing happened to the knife ever again.
, and at the same time, it protects our Sword Making Village."
The beginning of this story aroused Su Lun's keen interest, and he asked: "This sword is so evil, is there a story about its origin?"
"Yes, the story is still long."
There was a look of reminiscence in the old man's eyes, and he said slowly: "The reason why our village is called 'Sword Making Village' is because for thousands of years, our village has been one of the best sword production areas in the entire Shanyin Kingdom.
But a hundred years ago, something unexpected happened. At that time, there was a sword-making family named Zongzheng in our village, whose sword-forging skills were unparalleled. They found meteorite iron from the sky and cast an extremely sharp "Fifth Generation Zongzheng" sword.
The sword cut iron like clay, which is enough to be considered as a "good sword". When the sword was completed, countless swordsmen heard the news and came to ask for the sword. But in the end, the patriarch of the Zongzheng family at the time, Master Zongzheng Kenshin, was not satisfied with the sword.
I stopped here, thinking that a sword without "spirit" is not perfect enough. I looked through ancient books, always trying to find a way to forge a peerless sword. In the end, I didn't find a way, and people became crazy. I heard my grandfather said,
When he was a child, he saw Master Qianxin wandering around the village holding a knife all day long, always mumbling something..."
When Su Lun heard this, he could already imagine the obsession of the master swordsmith who made it.
How did a famous sword turn into a demon sword?
He also became more interested in the story behind it.
The old man continued: "Later, the old people said that Master Kenshin was seduced by mountain ghosts and disappeared into the mountains with "Fifth Generation Zongzheng". From then on, strange things happened. Suddenly someone in the village was attacked by monsters at night
, the person died, and his eyes were gouged out. This weird thing got out of hand from the beginning. Within a few days, all the swordsmiths in the Zongzheng family lost their eyes to monsters. Other famous swordsmiths in the village
They didn't escape, and accidents happened frequently. This incident made people panic... Later, an eminent monk passed by and found that the one causing trouble was a [Hundred-Eyed Ghost]."
"Hundred-eyed ghost?"
Su Lun has also seen records of this kind of monster in "Fairy Story".
It is said that this succubus specializes in seducing men to steal people's eyes for her own use. If she takes away a hundred eyes, she will become an unconquerable demon.
The old man sighed and said: "Yes. When I discovered it, it was already too late. The monster had already become a climate. It only needed the last pair of eyes to become an indestructible demon. At that time, the crazy Kenshin
But the master suddenly appeared. We later understood that he had found an evil sword-forging technique. He sacrificed his eyes to the monster... Later, the eminent monk sacrificed his life and used the "Fifth Generation Zongzheng" to kill
[Hakumu Oni]. Because the monster had become a climate and could not be killed, so it could only be sealed in the sword according to the method left by Master Kenshin. It became the current "Onimaru Hyakumu Munemasa"."
"..."
When Su Lun heard this story, he suddenly understood.
Just the forging process is so evil, no wonder it is called the "Demon Sword".
The old man continued: "This sword is indeed a great sword, but it is too evil. Later, this sword was scattered outside and caused a lot of killings. The name of the 'demon sword' was also known to everyone. No one can surrender.
This sword eventually killed a feudal lord who loved to collect famous swords. Our village was also implicated and gradually declined. The village chief did not want this sword to harm anyone again, so he asked for advice and built an ancestral hall.
By offering incense and offering sacrifices, we have been able to live in peace and harmony for the past few decades."
After Su Lun heard about the origin of the demon sword in the ancestral hall, he felt that it was eye-opening.
He asked again: "Does that demon knife have any special effects?"
Su Lun vaguely guessed that the evil aspect of this sword was not only the bizarre forging process, but also the method of worshiping with incense.
"no one knows."
The old man shook his head, sighed slightly and said, "Everyone who gets "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa" has no good results. But no one can tell what mystery it has. According to those who survived the fight with this demon sword,
Said, it can make people see 'hell'..."
The story has also come to an end.
After hearing this, Su Lun's eyes froze slightly.
Just listening to the story made people very interested in the demon sword.
Fortunately, he is not a swordsman, and the attraction of famous swords to him is limited. If he were a swordsman himself, he would not want to try it no matter how evil he was.
What's more, the knife is very close at hand.
Having said this, the old man begged again: "Sir, please be sure not to spread the news about "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa". It's not that we are afraid that people will take away this sword. We just don't want to see this sword taken away by others."
It’s unfortunate.”
"Um."
Su Lun nodded.
Nothing that involves belief in gods is simple. If the story is true, this "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa" is naturally not something that ordinary people can take. At least until he understands it thoroughly, he will have no idea.
But suddenly!
An idea flashed in Su Lun's mind, and another idea came to him.
Just after they encountered a shipwreck, they came to such a village with a demon sword. What a coincidence?
Su Lun felt that he could control his greed and not think about the sword. There were hundreds of pirates living in this village now!
What if other people find out?
Thinking of this, he frowned and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
The matter of "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa" cannot be leaked, and if it is as he thought, someone really led them here deliberately, there is no point in reminding them.
His thoughts were racing in his mind, he connected all the clues together, estimated the risks of the matter, and generally felt that he was sure to protect himself. He didn't think much about it.
If something really goes wrong, he will definitely leave as soon as possible.
.......
The time soon reached midnight.
"Johnny, it's your turn to change the guard!"
There was a greeting from outside the door, and Su Lun didn't waste any time. He picked up his equipment, put on his windproof cloak, and opened the door.
The wind and snow were so strong at midnight that the blowing pain on the face was like a knife.
Su Lun walked to the door and saw Sharp walking out wrapped like a rice dumpling.
He looked at Su Lun and greeted in disbelief: "Brother Johnny, do you live here?"
As he said that, he looked at the leaky thatched house again, and said with a look of disgust: "Oh, my God, this broken house will probably collapse under a heavy snowfall."
Su Lun shrugged and said without any concern: "I think it's okay. It's just for one night anyway."
The two chatted and went to the guard post at the end of the village, replacing the two people from before.
"It's really cold. I don't know if there are any girls in this village who can warm my bed."
"Captain, I saw some pretty peasant women from a few families before, but it's a pity that the boss won't let us mess around. Captain, you are different. The boss will definitely not blame you..."
"Hey, let's go have some fun."
"..."
The squad leader's name is Polk Jaliad, the brother-in-law of "Tea Beard" Hanz. His strength is only second level, but he managed to become the squad leader of the artillery squad through his connections.
Su Lun frowned as he listened to the conversation between the two people who were far away.
At this time, Sharp beside him suddenly patted his shoulder, "What are you looking at, Brother Johnny?"
After complaining, he followed Su Lun's gaze and saw the two figures in the distance. He frowned and said, "Hey, forget about those two guys. I also saw that we are the only ones in the 15th Division.
I thought Oleg was crowned king and wanted to change his appearance and become a pirate, but I didn't expect it to be like this. If I hadn't been short of money to save my life, I wouldn't have joined these guys. This village is already so poor, and I still want to have fun.
.We all have a hard life, why should we have a hard time?"
As he said that, Sharp sighed helplessly. He knew that he couldn't change anything except complaining, so he didn't think about the things that made him more and more upset the more he thought about it. Instead, he said: "Hey, tell me, will there be any problems in this village?"
Are there monsters?”
"..."
Su Lun didn't speak as he listened, and looked at the two figures sneaking around the corner, his eyes becoming more and more gloomy.
He didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably irritable tonight.
Is it because of the suffering of the Koike family?
It's already a very tragic fate.
At this moment, he suddenly looked at the two people who had climbed into the yard of Xiaochi's family, and the violent emotion that had been peaceful for a long time suddenly surged into his heart.
Sharp on the side looked at Su Lun in a daze, with a strangely cold expression, and asked anxiously: "Hey, brother, why are you so dazed? Are you possessed by a monster? Don't scare me..."
There was no expression on Su Lun's face, and he didn't explain much. He just said lightly: "I'm going to go."
Sharp grabbed him and immediately knew what he was going to do, "Brother, don't be impulsive, we can't control that guy Polk!"
Su Lun shook his head, walked out of the bullpen, and walked straight over.
...
When Su Lun returned to Xiaochi's house, the door had been opened.
The two lustful guys from Polk didn't intend to make much noise, so they came in secretly.
The bed in the house had been given to Su Lun, and Xiaochi and his daughter were among the haystacks where the house was demolished.
"Hehe, I told you earlier, I smelled the girl's body fragrance when I came here just now, there must be something good. No, there really is!"
"Captain is mighty!"
When Su Lun entered the room, she heard the two of them laughing and talking.
An olfactory perception professional used it to steal fragrances and jade, haha...
In the woodshed, the three members of the Xiaochi family had been knocked unconscious by the hallucinogenic drug. They were about to take off the little girl's clothes when a piece of their snow-white shoulders leaked out.
Seeing this, Su Lun's eyes flashed red.
Hearing someone walking in, Polk looked back and frowned: "If you don't go to stand guard, what are you doing here?"
Su Lun said with no emotion as if he were looking at a corpse: "Captain, I don't think this is good. They are all miserable people too."
Polk was interrupted from his good deeds, and he held his breath. After hearing these words, he immediately became angry: "Who the hell do you think you are, meddling in my business?"
While talking, another henchman touched the gun on his waist, which was full of warning.
Su Lun originally had a better way to solve the situation at hand, but he didn't know why, but he couldn't hold back the murderous intention in his heart.
Looking at the drafty houses around them, and then looking at the three unconscious Koike family members on the ground, their lives are really miserable.
The more I think about this, the more hateful the faces of these two guys in front of me become.
But it is easy to kill people, but the difficult thing is not to implicate the village after killing them.
If we start here, it is very likely that "Teabeard" Hanz not far away will sense it, and it might even harm the family.
Su Lun hesitated for a moment.
Moreover, there was something unspeakably wrong in his heart.
From the moment he entered the village, he always felt like he was being watched.
I thought it was an illusion before,
But the moment I entered the door, it was particularly intense.
Su Lun frowned and looked around.
That "being" doesn't look like a human being.
After all, with Su Lun's current perception, even a sixth- or seventh-level professional can tell the difference.
It feels like some kind of special existence, a monster?
Polkshen thought Su Lun was frightened by his momentum, and sneered: "Get out!"
His hand has already touched the girl from the Xiaochi family.
At this moment, Su Lun thought of a way. He expressionlessly took out [Robert's monocle] and put it on. The five fingers of one hand suddenly grasped in the void. Before the two Polks could react, their necks
A blood line appeared on it.
Before the blood spurted out, he pinched the warlock seal and a black hole appeared in the space, and quickly stuffed the two corpses into the storage space.
"Eh...haven't you been discovered?"
Su Lun still thought that he would be discovered, so he planned to use a monocle to create an illusory monster to confuse Hanz and the others.
But obviously, no one noticed the movement here.
It is indeed overestimated.
A half-baked fifth level and a bunch of lazy pirates are still far from enough.
But this is good, it saves a lot of trouble.
Su Lun carried the girl back to the pile of firewood and looked at the three sleeping people, and then the restlessness in her heart calmed down.
Just as he was about to take a breath, his pupils suddenly shrank!
Because at that moment, his soul sensed that there was something extra in the room.
Not a human, but a "monster"!
And at the same time, he found that his vision fell into darkness.
"Visual stripping?"
Su Lun didn't panic at all.
He held the black umbrella high in his hand and opened it with a "bang" sound.
Turning around like lightning, he saw a pair of red human eyes in the endless darkness.
One pair, ten pairs, a hundred pairs... They were so densely packed that it was as if the stars in the sky had turned into eyes, and it was so scary to stare at them!
"Hundred-eyed ghost?"
Su Lun thought of a kind of monster, and instantly thought of the story told by Koichiro Koike before. He immediately realized something and thought to himself: "No! It's that monster sword!"
Even though his vision was stripped away, he was not affected at all. With a glare of his left eye, he could decipher the truth of everything in front of him.
"It turns out this 'demon sword' is like this..."
Su Lun instantly felt confident.
Just when he was about to use the magic to counterattack, he suddenly heard a strange and piercing cry: "Jie Jie Jie... I didn't expect there were people like you among the pirates, so I won't kill you."
Is the hostility gone?
The evil aura faded away like a tide, Su Lun didn't do anything, and the vision in front of him suddenly returned to normal.
At this moment, there was movement elsewhere in the village.
Su Lun didn't know why, but the demonic aura that suddenly appeared in the room made him feel mentally happy, as if he had found someone of the same kind. The corner of his mouth raised an evil arc, and he murmured: "
Interesting, is this about to take action..."
He became very interested in going to see what was going on, so he quietly walked out.
