Su Lun and Qian Jiao went back to Xia Po Po Soup Room.
The beautiful spring scenery on the cliff hot spring was just a small episode, and neither of them really cared about it.
When we returned to the soup room, the sky had darkened, and the wooden houses all over Chaming Mountain were lit up with orange-red light.
The two of them climbed into the house from the back hill of the courtyard. Lolota was spreading the bedding. Shenfu Yuzi was beside the oil lamp, holding an ancient book bound with thread and immersed in reading.
Watching the two of them enter the room, Lolota came up to them with a bright smile on her face, "Teacher, Mr. Su Lun, you are back."
As she said that, she pointed to the other side of the room where there were exquisite small dishes of food on the table, and said: "We are going to have a small hot pot tonight. Teacher, can I go and light up the charcoal fire in the copper stove?"
Qianjo nodded: "Yeah."
After taking a bath in the bath, they felt refreshed and both of them looked happy.
Miko put down the book in her hand, glanced at Senjou's arm, and asked with a smile: "Has Miss Senjou's seal been resolved?"
"yes……"
Chijou also thought this was a very happy thing.
As she said that, she walked over to Miko and sat down. She put her arms around her shoulders unceremoniously and said, "However, I still need Miss Miko to be busy now."
Yuzi blinked, "Oh?"
Senjo took off the demon sword "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa" from his waist and put it on the table, saying: "I plan to completely tame this demon sword. When the demon energy leaks out, some monsters may be attracted. So I need to trouble Miko.
Miss, please arrange some barriers.”
These days, she has been using her own sword energy to cultivate herself, but she is still far away from being able to fully control this demonic sword.
Now that her arm was unsealed, her first natural thought was to "act" with the knife.
If you really want to be able to fully use the ability of this demonic sword, you will not be inferior to other professionals if you have a [Forbidden Object] in your hand. This is a temptation that no professional swordsman can resist.
Naturally, the Shinto shrine maiden was good at dealing with monsters, and Miko also knew what she was going to do. Although she thought it was a risky move, she responded: "Okay!"
Su Lun said nothing.
He will naturally support whatever Qianjo decides.
But if you want to forcefully tame this demon sword, the risk is not small. If you are not careful, you will become a "sword slave".
However, now that Su Lun has advanced to the fourth level, it is not that easy for the demon sword to become a demon.
Not long after, Miko had already set up a Shinto barrier in the house. The door curtain was tied with a rope made of woven straw, and white zigzag-shaped royal coins were hung on the rope. There were also signs on the windows and lattice doors.
Shinto Talisman.
This is something that monsters are very afraid of.
Su Lun also used silk thread to make some necessary preparations in the room.
After all this was done, the broth in the brass pot was already boiling.
The four of them sat around and ate hot pot lively.
Su Lun, Miko and Lolota sat on one side, while Senjo occupied the other three.
It's really because at this moment, the strange vision on Qianjou's body is too shocking.
When she decided to tame "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa", the demon sword also sensed something and immediately stopped.
Even though the sword was not unsheathed, the surging demonic energy leaked out, like a stormy wave that was about to swallow up the people in the room.
Senjo could only release more and more energy to suppress it, and her body was surrounded by thicker and thicker sword energy. Her whole body was like a sharp sword slowly unsheathed, with its sharp edge exposed.
The unsealed Qianju arms gave him an even more domineering aura, making it impossible for anyone to get close to him.
If we say that last time we clicked until the end.
So this time, it’s all about trying your best.
Humans and swords are both.
The phantom of the Rakshasa behind Qianzhi has appeared, with angry eyebrows and angry eyes, fighting against the ferocious centipede with hundreds of eyes wrapped around it.
Her eyes were red, and the light seemed to reflect the scene of hell. Her aura was revealed indiscriminately, without caring about others. Even Su Lun and the three people around her felt that they would be cut into pieces by her at any moment.
Section danger.
Su Lun and Yuzi were both fine and looked calm.
Lolotta's face turned pale at this momentum, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.
Looking at the increasingly restless demonic energy, Yuzi asked worriedly: "Miss IOU, are you okay?"
After all, no one knows the past of this demon sword better than her.
There used to be countless talented swordsmen and great swordsmen who all wanted to control it, but they all became dead souls under the sword.
This move now is no different from gambling on life, and the chance of winning is slim.
"I'm fine."
Qiantiao's face was expressionless, but the veins on her forehead showed that she was not relaxed, but her eyes were still determined. She forced a smile and said, "Everyone eat, don't look at me."
No one else could help her with this matter, she had to do it herself.
Su Lun looked at her slightly stiff hands when picking vegetables. Without saying much, he helped her pick up a piece of cooked meat in the bowl.
Senjo glanced at him, and there was already a tacit understanding between the two of them. Even if they made eye contact, they immediately understood: There is also me.
This is also the reason why she has no hesitation.
The red light in Qian Tiao's eyes dissipated in an instant.
Several people were eating and chatting.
"By the way, Miss Miko, what is the current situation in Edo?"
"It's not ideal. There may be big changes in this 'Black Sun Festival'"
""
Since he planned to accompany Miko to Edo Castle, Su Lun naturally wanted to ask more about the situation in the Yamagakure Country, about the Takeda Shogunate, the Divine Service Imperial Family, and the Black Dragon Society.
Only by understanding the situation can he judge potential enemies in advance.
Miko didn't hold anything back, detailing many secrets that outsiders from Yamayaku had no qualifications or channels to understand.
She said: "The 'Black Sun Festival' only happens once every few decades, or even hundreds of years. At that time, the sun will be covered by darkness, and the earth will lose its light. At that time, Amaterasu will leave the world, and it will also be our Ise Shrine.
When we face the biggest challenge. Without divine power to suppress us, monsters and monsters from all sides will come out to cause trouble. People with evil intentions will definitely choose that time to take action. Because the main source of power for our Kamfu clan is Amaterasu, it will be the same at that time.
The weakest. Therefore, it will also be the most dangerous time. There have been several rebellions by feudal lords in history, all at this time."
This is already an absolute royal secret.
When Su Lun heard this, he knew that Yuzi was treating them as outsiders.
These few words point the key point of the matter to the "Black Sun Festival".
Miko's eyes were firm and she said: "I am the contemporary Saio, so I must go back. Only I can make Amaterasu come again."
"The rebellion all happened during the 'Black Sun Festival'?"
When Su Lun heard this, his thoughts began to wander.
He was also glad that he had read through many Shanyin classics before coming.
He happened to have heard of that legend.
Legend has it that the Black Sun is Amaterasu who left in anger for some reason. As soon as he left, the Black Sun fell and the earth was dark. Then there would be huge and grand sacrificial ceremonies in various places in Yamakaku, and the shrine maidens danced Kagura dance, and Amaterasu would
Will come back again.
And if you kill the top shrine maiden "Saio" Miko, the sun may still come out, but Amaterasu may not come back again?
Perhaps the Shenfu clan, which represents the divine power of the emperor, collapsed on its own?
Intuition told Su Lun that this was definitely possible.
Some people want to shake the imperial power of the Shenfu clan. This is indeed the best opportunity.
The previous pursuit was also a thing of the past.
But those people didn't dare to take action at other times and completely pull down the royal family. Most of them were afraid of the "divinely granted" strength of the Shenfu clan.
Despite the fact that the Miss Miko in front of her is not very strong physically, in fact, it cannot be judged by ordinary people.
If there is anyone in Shanyin Kingdom who is closest to the gods,
Then it's her.
The strength of a believer in God is not just about his or her rank.
The previous "demon" Yasuwa Abe came to chase him, but he didn't dare to show his face. In addition to not wanting to be exposed, he might not be afraid of Miko's desperate "truck cards".
Miko's expression became more and more solemn, "Before, I only thought that the Takeda shogunate was a threat. Now it seems that things are very complicated. After returning to Edo this time, there may be more trouble than expected and the situation will be more dangerous."
Su Lun remained silent and didn't speak.
He also had a clear picture of the entire incident in his mind.
The shogunate had almost absolute control over the Yamagakure country, and assassinating the general Takeda Nobuno would indeed solve part of the problem. But if Miko wanted to assassinate him, she could only recruit experts from outside Yamagakure, and then she met Senjo.
There are some follow-up things.
But the emergence of the "third party force" represented by Amp Taihe made things complicated.
Suddenly, Su Lun thought of something and asked: "Is there any action from Oleg, the King of the North Sea?"
Su Lun hadn't asked before, so Miko naturally couldn't take the initiative to mention it. Now hearing this, she said: "I just got the news that the ninth fleet of Oleg, the King of the North Sea, has triggered the mountain from the pirate city.
Hidden. Fleet Captain "Gluttonous Admiral" Ixir Paion personally leads the team and will arrive in Edo soon."
"oh"
Su Lun frowned as he listened.
He wasn't too surprised that Oleg would send someone again.
The fifteenth squadron that came to the Tax Vanguard before was actually used as "cannon fodder" to test.
Now that the entire army has been wiped out, a stronger fleet will naturally come.
The fleet led by seventh-level professionals does have the strength to suppress Shan Yin with force.
He was just confused, was the King of the North Sea really a "third-party force" intervening in Shanyin?
After saying this, Miko glanced at them again: "I am very grateful to Mr. Su Lun and Miss Senjo for accompanying me. If things cannot be done at that time, please take care of yourselves."
Senjo raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, as if he hadn't heard the words at all.
Nothing can be done?
Let’s cut it first and then talk about it.
Su Lun also had an indifferent expression on his face.
No matter how big the fight is, his ability to protect himself is not weak now.
When the time comes, there is really nothing you can do. At least there is a chance to keep Miko as a friend.
A few people chatted and finished the hot pot.
Lolotta tidied up the room, held her long sword aside and began to meditate.
Although it was uncomfortable to stay in the room and be oppressed by Senjo's domineering attitude, it was also the best opportunity to gain some insights.
This demonic sword already has a lot of spirituality. The majestic demonic aura envelops the sword intent of previous users, and is fiercely confronting Qianjou's Rakshasa sword intent.
It's like two peerless swordsmen fighting each other again. This is a rare opportunity to watch.
Even Su Lun, a layman, gained a lot of insights into the art of swordsmanship through passive perception.
He didn't sleep either, and he had to always be on guard against Qian Jiao becoming possessed. He sat next to Qian Jiao, flipping through the scroll of the Rune Warlock's heritage.
Miko was also not far away. There were Kagura bells, bat fans, taiko drums, bamboo flutes and other Shinto magic tools beside her. She thought that if something happened, she would be able to help immediately.
Unconsciously, the night was already deep.
Looking out through the courtyard, the moonlight in the sky is like silver.
In the room, Rakshasa Phantom and Hundred-Eyed Centipede were still in a stalemate, and Qian Jiao's condition was quite stable.
Part of Su Lun's attention was always on her, but his eyes quickly read the words on the scroll.
There was a lot of content on this scroll that was awkward and difficult to understand before, but now that I read it, it suddenly becomes clear.
The seniors in the Rune Warlock lineage spent countless years summarizing these extremely practical rune secrets, which are all priceless treasures.
In the outside world, this kind of systematic inherited knowledge is simply impossible to buy.
Looking at those secret runes, Su Lun's eyes were filled with excitement.
From the first level, to the second level, to the third level all the way to the sixth level, there is countless rune knowledge that can be called "epic level".
Because he has digested the [imitation original runes], Su Lun can understand even the most mysterious secrets at a glance. Each rune language is quickly digested and integrated into his mind. It makes his mind originally
The lush skill tree has bloomed with dense leaves again.
These systematic knowledge of runes complete a very important part of Su Lun's puppet making, alchemy, mechanical research, and combat!
In addition to some technical knowledge of runes, what Su Lun is most passionate about is Old Man Rune’s famous skill [Rune Body]!
Refining his own body as an artifact, inscribing the skin, flesh, scriptures, and bones with runes, eventually reaching the level of a "humanoid cursed object".
"This [Rune Flesh Body] plus the [King Kong] secret method, get a [Rune King Kong], and the defense power will increase exponentially."
"The flesh and blood rune can directly increase the toughness of muscles. In this way, I can even consider turning on the fourth and fifth stages of [Hormone Rampage], and my body can support it. Why do I feel that I am going further and further on the road to becoming a melee professional?"
Not to mention anything else, the life-saving ability of the front has been directly improved to a big level.
Then he thought of something again, "Oh, yes, there are living corpses!"
He thought of the living corpses painted with top-notch runes in the cursed space of Javier's Morgue of Resentment in Old Town.
I also have "Notes on Research on Living Corpses" by Tirmidor M. Chekov, a research madman who was able to resurrect corpses!
Now that I think about it, don’t these come from the same source?
Those profound rune knowledge that were once completely incomprehensible are now finally qualified to study in depth.
If you really want to create that kind of top-notch living corpse, hiss
Su Lun's thoughts started to run wildly.
The process of taming the demon sword by Qian Jiao is a bit like boiling an eagle to see who can't hold it first.
She didn't go out, and neither did Su Lun or anyone else.
However, the situation looked pretty good. After staying up all day and night, Qiantiao did not fall behind.
The situation is much better than the previous time.
Su Lun was happy to stay in his room because he was really busy.
After completing his rune knowledge, he had too many things to do.
Draw [Rune Flesh] for yourself, make high-level puppets, living corpses, and have a clue of [Silver Hand]
As for the required materials, there is almost no shortage of them with Princess Miyoshi as Yamagakure.
in the room,
Qian Jiao was meditating cross-legged while holding the demon sword, while Su Lun was busy on the side.
Because of his improved knowledge of runes, his mind suddenly opened up.
All kinds of thoughts are flowing out like a fountain.
The ferocious eight-armed spider spears behind him frequently made various movements, some were carving puppets, some were tinkering with machinery, some were handling the silver arms in the petri dish, and some were drawing runes on his skin.
The room was also made like a spider cave, with all kinds of books and materials hanging on silk threads, densely packed
Because he was already quite familiar with it, Su Lun did not shy away from it and showed his ability to multi-task to the fullest.
This scene has already stunned Miko and Lolotta.
Before, they had only learned about Su Lun's attainments in alchemy and his extraordinary combat prowess, so they were quite surprised. Now looking at his endless "sexy operations", the two of them were already speechless.
This kind of almost crazy multi-line operation is dazzling to see. It would be great for a normal person to be able to do one well, but Su Lun operated several at the same time without making any mistakes.
The key is that he can still find time to chat with Yuzi and exchange some knowledge.
When you are busy, time flies too fast
Finally, the stalemate between Qian Jiao and Yao Dao took a turn for the better.
At noon the next day, Lolota was meditating, Miko was reading, and Su Lun was still tinkering with his various researches.
Everyone is busy with their own things.
Sudden!
Miko discovered something and exclaimed: "Hey, Munamasa's demonic aura is weakening, Miss Senjo seems to be showing signs of being tamed."
Su Lun had been observing Qian Jiao's situation, and naturally noticed it. He paused slightly and looked sideways.
Senjou was still meditating with her eyes closed, although her aura was much weaker than the day before. But the six-armed Rakshasa shadow behind her clearly praised her superiority, and the hundred-eyed centipede restrained its ferocity, showing faint signs of surrender.
Seeing this, Su Lun also felt strange.
He didn't expect that it would go so smoothly?
At least Senjou almost became possessed when he first got this demonic sword.
Of course, Yuzi was also very strange, and murmured: "Hey, that's strange. The most difficult thing about controlling this demon sword is to tame the hundred-eyed ghost king sealed inside. This kind of mature demon can sense people's destiny. Under normal circumstances, except for the ghosts and gods,
Flow, mortals simply cannot get its recognition."
She is a miko and obviously knows better.
This is also the reason why this "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa" has never been tamed.
Miko's face was full of doubts, and she thought of something else, "Sister Senjo's mood is obviously much firmer now than before. Is it because the seal on her arm was lifted? That's not right. The demon sword didn't recognize her destiny before, so how could she give in now?"
Su Lun also understood why it went so smoothly this time.
It seems that Qian Tiao's destiny has become stronger?
Yuzi turned her eyes and suddenly thought of something. She looked at Su Lun and asked: "Mr. Su Lun, could it be that what happened at the cliff hot spring before? Now that I think about it, I also feel that Miss Qiantiao's life
The situation seems to have changed since then.”
These days they are together all day long, and the only time they are no longer in sight is when they go to the hot springs on the cliff.
"Nothing happened"
Su Lun couldn't feel anything about fate. He listened to Yuzi's words and thought about it.
The hot spring bath that day seemed nothing special.
Just lift the seal, and then
oh,
correct,
And took advantage of a gambling-addicted young woman?
Su Lun felt that this might not be the reason.
Yuzi looked at Su Lun's expression and blinked, as if he had guessed something, and did not ask further questions, just smiled.
It was at this time that a vision suddenly occurred.
As soon as the demon sword's decline was revealed, it suddenly collapsed like a landslide.
Senjou, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with red light, yet extremely clear.
The surging demonic energy was mixed with the Rakshasa phantom behind her, and the whole person was enveloped in a demonic aura!
"It's done?"
Su Lun's eyes narrowed, and there was a faint expectation in his heart. He clearly sensed Qianjiao's exaggerated and slightly unfamiliar monster aura, but he did not sense any signs of chaos in her body.
This means that she seems to have tamed this demonic sword?
Miko and Lolotta on the side also looked expectantly.
At this moment, Qianjou's demonic aura suddenly subsided, and she could not hide her excitement despite her tired look. She focused her eyes, looked at a few people, and said calmly: "I have this sword!"
When Su Lun and the three of them heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
