Su Lun has now determined that the cursed space of [The Kingdom of Death and Underworld] is connected to reality.
Moreover, he also distinguished two types of "aboriginal people".
One is a youkai like [Shuten Doji] who has always existed in this space.
The other type is people like Granny Aju and Ryuichi Akutagawa who died from Yamagakure.
Although Su Lun didn't understand how the "Ye Ji" did it.
But here comes the problem.
What is her purpose in creating such a cursed space?
It's definitely not just to suck in outsiders and kill them. If you think about her motives, you might know how to leave this space.
Moreover, this space itself is also full of weirdness.
Normally, the plot in the cursed space would be a lifetime memory of a certain "master will".
But the strange thing is that the plot here has not happened before, but has a complete timeline. It is still developing as time goes by.
From all the memories of ghosts and ghosts that Su Lun peeled off, no matter who it was, they felt that this "Land of Underworld" was the Land of Underworld that had existed in myth for countless years...
The fact is that Fujiwara Hayato wrote this book within the past thirty years.
Could it be that the great writer wrote countless years of history to the world with his pen?
How difficult it is to have no flaws.
However, Su Lun, as a time traveler, is not particularly incredible.
After thinking hard, he came up with a relatively reasonable explanation.
That is, the creatures in this world are limited in their cognition by something, such as: dimensions!
All illusions cannot avoid one premise: this is a world in a book.
Su Lun thought about it again, if they really couldn't get out, would there be one more sentence in the [Death] book: "Su Lun and Qian Jiao couldn't get out of the land of hell after all, and they stayed there forever."
Two living people, in this dimension, can be summarized in a few paragraphs.
Su Lun felt a little sad when he thought about it, but he also found it very interesting.
Is the so-called real world itself a story?
In the courtyard of Sensoji Temple, snowflakes are floating in the sky.
The way of the sword that Senjo realized while she was still in the snow.
Under the eaves, Akutagawa Ryuichi's old hands were holding a carving knife and carving the outline of the Buddha statue out of the wood bit by bit.
The sound of the blade embedded in the wood is very subtle, "swish", "swish"
Sawdust fell to the ground piece by piece.
Su Lun took out a half-finished puppet and patiently asked for advice.
Although he doesn't know the art of swordsmanship, he also has considerable experience in carving.
Moreover, he had read too many Shanyin Kingdom documents before, so there was no barrier between communication. He could express his own opinions on any topic, and he quickly became familiar with them.
"Mr. Akutagawa's sculpture of the Buddha has something to do with your "Batou Hell Sword Intent"?"
"Yes. Swordsmen who cultivate the hell realm are heavy on killing. If they don't have compassion, they will fall into the demon realm sooner or later. Moreover, when I entered the holy realm in my later years, I began to carve Buddhas. Only then did I realize that the Buddha nature was not to suppress my desire for killing.
The increased sword intent of the hell realm actually made my swordsmanship one step further. The realm is like a bucket of water. When the water is full, a higher wall is needed to hold more water. How high is it?
Your Buddha nature and swordsmanship are as high as yours. Your friend is very talented, but she doesn’t need some enlightenment yet. My friend, your situation is similar."
""
Su Lun knew that although the old man kept talking, he was actually giving guidance and nodding from time to time.
He also asked some questions about Huang Quanguo, but didn't get many clues he wanted.
Even this Sword Master, who was the top expert in Shanyin during his lifetime, in his understanding, this is the real land of underworld.
Moreover, the residents of Yamagakure have an indescribable god worship for "Izanami". Just like there should be a sun in the sky, it is a solid understanding. Not to mention asking what rank the Lord of Huangquan is
, which cannot even be discussed easily.
The only thing that is certain is that the Lord of the Underworld is "unfathomable".
Time flies, and half a month passes in a blink of an eye.
Su Lun and Senjo stayed at Sensoji Temple. Because of the temple and Nimaru, there were no ghosts to disturb them.
There was a sword master who was always giving guidance, but Senjo stayed calm and practiced swordplay in the yard every day.
In her words, as long as you can understand the true meaning of swordsmanship, it doesn't matter even if you really can't get out.
Su Lun was not idle. After recovering from his injuries, Su Lun sneaked into the city full of various ghosts many times to find out more about the Lord of the Underworld and find a way out.
Because I was prepared in advance, I had no accidents every time I went in.
However, in these few trips, I have seen a lot of strange monsters in Huangquan Kingdom, but with little success.
The information I learned is very limited.
The only way he could think of to get out was to go directly to Izanami.
However, the king was so mysterious that Su Lun felt that it was best not to take the risk before he was sure.
In the myths and legends of Shanyin, the king in charge of the underworld is the first deceased in the world, and it is because of him that the concept of "death" comes into being.
On this day, life was as usual.
"Sword Master" Akutagawa Ryuichi would go out to find suitable wood after he carved the Buddha statue every once in a while.
As usual, only Su Lun and Senjo were left in Asakusa.
In the yard, Qianjou was still practicing his sword day after day.
"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh"
The sword energy pierces the air and is heard endlessly.
Unlike her usual fierce slashes before, Senjou was holding the knife now, more like "playing".
There was a dead leaf floating above her blade. Every time the leaf was about to fall to the ground, it would be lifted up by a sword energy with just the right force, like a piece of goose feather, rising and falling.
If you look closely, you will see that there is a pattern drawn on the dead leaves using sword energy as a pen.
Su Lun was carving puppets under the eaves, glanced at them, and rolled his eyes.
It seems that the painting on the dead leaves is Su himself, but it's a little too sloppy?
But at this moment, a crow suddenly flew across the sky, and with a "swish" sound, the sword energy was fierce, and the dead leaf was chopped into two pieces.
Seeing this, Qianjou grimaced and muttered: "Ah, we failed again."
Su Lun smiled and said: "Sister Qiantiao, take a rest. Your Qi is a bit disordered."
He naturally knew that this was a very clever method of micro-manipulating sword energy.
Logically speaking, a fourth-level professional like Su Lun cannot understand this kind of high-level secret method, and cannot speak about it.
But coincidentally, after peeling off [Yu Liu·Ba Body] before, he really knew what was going on.
This is the secret of the "Akutagawa Itto-ryu" secret sword style, which requires mastering the meticulous control of the sword's energy.
Very difficult to get started.
But after learning this secret technique, even when facing monsters like [Rot Monster] that are almost immune to physical attacks, ordinary sword energy can still kill very well.
The scientific explanation is that this secret method changes the slash from a "line" to a "particle level" slash, using Qi to destroy the target's structure.
Su Lun looked at Qian Jiao's distressed look, made two more gestures with the carving knife, and said, "You should do this first, then that."
Qianjo rolled his eyes at him. Although he thought it was reasonable, he couldn't help but complain: "Do you think everyone has your innate ability?"
This secret method is simple to say, but it is very difficult to control that feeling. Only by trying again and again, allowing the body to learn it and generate muscle memory, can the output be stable in the end.
She exhaled a breath, then picked up another dead leaf on the ground and started a new practice.
Su Lun watched her become more and more proficient in slashing skills, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
He naturally knows how important it is to meet a good teacher.
Especially on some big bottlenecks that need to be understood.
These days, "Sword Master" Akutagawa Ryuichi has been giving guidance, and Senjo's swordsmanship has been improving visibly. Especially his understanding of "Sword Intention" seems to be just a step away.
It’s no wonder that Senjo doesn’t want to go anywhere now and is focused on practicing swordsmanship at Sensoji Temple.
This visit to "Underworld" can be regarded as a blessing and a blessing. It is a rare and great opportunity to see the sword master who has passed away in the real world.
Not long after, Su Lun looked at his pocket watch and saw that it was already twelve o'clock noon.
At this time every day, he would go out and look for some clues.
He packed away the puppets, stood up, and said, "Sister Qiantiao, I'm going to go to the city again today."
While Qian Jiao was chopping leaves, he asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Su Lun shook his head, "No, I'm not going to contact any big monster this time, I'm just going for a walk."
If he wasn't trapped, he would be really interested in this novel world.
The laws of the land of hell in this book are impeccable and there are many dangers. But it also means that there are many potential treasures and secrets to be discovered here just like outside.
There are a lot of materials that contain the law of death in Huangquan Kingdom. These are difficult to find in the real world and are what Su Lun needs. There are also those fairies and ghosts that are rare to see outside.
If you go shopping here, you can see countless rare varieties.
This is also a top scarce resource.
In the past half month, Su Lun used some of his inventory to exchange for Huangquan materials worth hundreds of millions. If these materials were sold in the real world, they might not be able to be bought at a hundred or a thousand times the price.
He felt that if he really wanted to get out alive, he could write a travelogue based on this, and call it "I Became a Tramp in the Underworld".
Chijo didn't say much, "Yeah."
Both of them knew very well that if they were discovered in the city, they would both run away.
Two people are worse than one person.
After a pause, she glanced at Su Lun and said, "Be careful."
"Um."
Su Lun put on his cloak and picked up the rune umbrella. As usual, he first released the black crows to explore the way ahead, and then walked towards the dilapidated gate of the Buddhist temple.
But after walking a few steps, suddenly, a bunch of white lights lit up in the sky, shining on the east side of the city!
That beam of white light is as eye-catching as a falling star in this dark world.
Qian Jiao turned his face suddenly, looked at the beam of light, and shouted softly: "What is that!"
Su Lun's eyes turned, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes, and he immediately said: "Let's go and take a look!"
I have been looking for a way out during this period, but the world is like a circle, with a complete closed loop, and I can't find any flaws at all.
But this vision
It seems like sunlight?
How can there be sunshine in the land of underworld?
Su Lun and Senjo left Sensoji Temple and headed east of the city.
But there was a lot of noise about the strange phenomena that day, and along the way, they also discovered that other monsters were attracted to it.
Because they were outside the city, the two of them moved very quickly, but as they got closer, they also found that there were more and more monsters around, and there were also some faintly powerful beings.
The two of them didn't rush to get close. They just gathered in the woods in the distance with some little ghosts who were watching the fun.
Although the distance is far away, it is still enough to see clearly.
A big hole seemed to be pierced in the sky, and then a "spotlight" shone down, illuminating the top of the mountain like a monk's head.
Su Lun looked at the position on the top of the mountain and felt vaguely familiar. He muttered: "The place where the light beam descends seems to be the location of Iga Shrine?"
Senjou also discovered this: "Isn't it Miko's fault?"
In Yamagakure, the sun is synonymous with Amaterasu, and Miko Kamifu is the shrine maiden who serves the god.
The two of them did not forget that when they came in, a battle should be going on in Edo Castle outside.
Although half a month has passed in the cursed space, it is not necessarily how long has passed outside.
With so many coincidences put together, there is a high probability that the guess is correct.
"Hey, if it's Miko, then wouldn't we have a chance to go out?"
Su Lun said, glancing at the golden light that cut through the sky.
But I don’t know if it was because of his crow-like mouth, but as soon as he said these words, the hole in the sky suddenly closed and the "spotlight" went out!
Suellen ""
Qiantiao: ""
The two looked at each other and saw the speechlessness in each other's eyes.
No matter how you look at this situation, it looks like someone threw another "thing" in from the outside.
Senjo guessed: "Did something happen to Miko's side?"
"Most likely yes."
Su Lun also frowned slightly, "Let's go over and take a look."
This is very likely.
The people of the Takeda shogunate chose to launch a war during the "Black Sun Festival", and also came up with such a means of polluting the sun to eliminate all outsiders. No matter how you look at it, they were completely confident in doing so.
Even if you don't know what the fighting situation is outside, you can imagine the result.
Chijo nodded.
The two of them got down from the tree and touched it quietly.
These monsters in Huangquan are all afraid of the sun, and no monster dares to approach the top of the mountain.
Although there is no "spotlight", the top of the mountain still has the afterglow like a bright pearl at night.
Su Lun and Qian Jiao walked over and saw a shadow of the palace that looked like a mirage.
"It's Iga Shrine! It should be a projection of the real world."
Su Lun looked at the shadow with a sharp look.
There are no shrines in the land of underworld, and even if there is one on this hillside, it is the same dilapidated shrine as Sensoji Temple.
Qian Jiao shook the knife in his hand and asked, "Shall we go over and take a look?"
Su Lun nodded.
Whether it was Yuzi or some other situation, they needed to find out.
The two of them walked towards the glowing top of the mountain.
The light on the top of the mountain and the shadow of the palace are dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye because there is no light beam from the outside to supplement it. The shadow on the outside of the palace has also begun to collapse, and the area is getting smaller and smaller.
Without the sunlight, the ghosts and ghosts around them went crazy and rushed towards the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain seems to have an aura that attracts these ghosts.
The two discovered this and rushed over quickly.
The two of them were human, so they were not affected by the light at all and went directly to the top of the mountain where the palace was located.
There is indeed a dilapidated shrine here.
And the ghosts and monsters that can reach this point are all with combat power at the level of fourth- and fifth-level professionals.
The quantity is neither too much nor too little.
A giant-headed [Big Head], an ugly-faced snake-like [Candle Shadow], a one-eyed blue-skinned monk named [Aobozu], [Pig Demon], [Mushroom Demon], [Octopus Demon]
Su Lun has seen many ghosts and monsters that only existed in stories these days, and he also saw a few familiar big monsters.
When the two came, some monsters had already rushed in despite the not too dazzling sunlight.
The sound of fierce fighting came from the dilapidated shrine.
Su Lun and the others did not approach rashly. He released the black crows and overlooked everything from a high altitude.
Sharing the view, we saw that several monsters were attacking a human being in the shrine, and the battle was fierce.
Looking at the black-haired girl holding a bow and arrow and wearing a red and white miko costume, Su Lun recognized her at a glance. Who else could she be if she wasn't Miko in the divine costume?
