Chapter 140: Immortal Slaying and Worshiping Tears
Long Yin's Son and Long Yin's Blessed One can only be killed with the Immortal Slash, and even Long Yin's Son cannot bleed with ordinary weapons.
It can be seen from the Sekiro game process that in order to reach the Palace of the Origin, you need to use several props to refine the Incense of the Origin, and one of the raw materials of the Incense of the Origin is the blood of Ryū Yin's son.
'Based on the available information, it is speculated that Ba and Zhang did not obtain the red Immortal Sword sealed in the inner hall of Xianfeng Temple, but... there are two Immortal Swords in total. Could it be that they got another black Immortal Sword?'
The origin of the Black Immortal Slash "Open the Door" is unknown. According to the note found in Isshin Ashina's room later in the game process, it is inferred that it is suspected to be stored in a corner of the city by Isshin Ashina.
So who gave the black immortal sword to Isshin?
Lu Xiao started brainstorming in the fantasy world.
Regardless of the form of severing immortality, you must go to the Palace of Origin to obtain the Tears of the Sakura Dragon, and this process inevitably requires the red immortal sword "Tears of Worship".
Judging from the lingering incense remaining in the incense burner of Ashina Castle Castle, Jo and Tomoe should have completed the refining of the incense of the source before and successfully entered... or returned to the palace of the source.
However, Jo and Tomoe, who only found the Black Immortal Slash, could not obtain the Tears of the Sakura Dragon, so naturally they could not truly sever the Immortal.
After returning from the Palace of Origin without success, the two of them committed suicide using the Black Immortal Slash in despair. Before they died, they entrusted the "open door" to the sword master Isshin for safekeeping.
Although his mind was running at high speed, Lu Xiao's feet did not stop moving. With agility that was several times higher than that of ordinary people, Lu Xiao effortlessly grabbed the three stupid monkeys one after another and threw them into the screen one by one.
Become an autistic picture.
"That's enough."
The ethereal female voice I heard not long ago sighed in the illusion: "Everyone, since this person can pass the test of the illusion, let him come over. I guess... he should not be hostile to me."
"Unknown warrior, please close your eyes. The power of the illusion will bring your body to the inner hall."
Lu Xiao, who had already had a lot of teleportation experience, closed his eyes obediently. After a slight trance, his body was teleported to a palace with beautiful scenery.
I was delayed for some time in the illusion, and it was already past 4 o'clock in the morning.
Since people during the Warring States Period had few activities at night, they usually went to bed very early and naturally got up very early in the morning.
Lu Xiao planned to try his best to rush back before dawn, as time was already running out.
Crossing the small pond outside the temple, Lu Xiao saw a long-haired girl wearing loose monk robes through the open door of the inner temple. Her dark and smart eyes were curiously looking at Lu Xiao as he entered.
"Please sit down, Master Warrior."
The girl signaled to Lu Xiao with an ethereal and soft voice.
Lu Xiao could not feel any sense of threat from this girl, so he followed the guidance and sat on the futon directly opposite the girl. The two looked at each other in confusion, as if they were both considering what to say first.
"Unfamiliar warrior master, your clothes are very different from those of the residents of Weiming Country. You are not from Weiming Country, right?"
Lu Xiao nodded lightly: "I come from the Ming Dynasty across the sea. I came to Japan just for a study tour. When I passed through Weiming Kingdom, I accidentally discovered the anomalies in this country. Out of curiosity, I decided to investigate secretly."
Banruo Yuzi smiled and asked: "So, why did you come to me? I don't think that simple investigation requires you to risk passing the trial of the illusion."
Lu Xiao took out several volumes of Yonglujing and letters from the abbot of Xianfeng Temple from his chest, and placed them one by one in front of Banruo Yuzi.
"These are the scriptures and letters that the abbot of Xianfeng Temple entrusted me to give to you. They should contain some important information related to you."
Changruo Yuzi stretched out her weak hands to pick up the letter and read it first. Her expression changed many times during the reading process.
Sometimes he's angry, sometimes he's sad, and sometimes he's compassionate.
"Sure enough, Xianfeng Temple took the wrong path a long time ago. No matter how many reasons they have, I still can't forgive those fallen monks who committed heinous crimes."
Lu Xiao said calmly: "The abbot of Xianfeng Temple does not expect your forgiveness. He just hopes that someone can use the Immortal Slash to end the endless depravity of Xianfeng Temple."
"Immortal Slash..."
Bianruo Yuzi held Yong Lujing's hands with a little force. She pursed her delicate lips and said with some hesitation: "The Immortal Sword is indeed kept with me, but this forbidden weapon cannot be used by ordinary people."
"Anyone who pulls out the Immortal Slash will be devoured by it. Only those who possess the power of immortality can control this strange weapon."
Lu Xiao has already thought about this in advance.
The Immortal Slash will indeed kill the person who pulls it out, but Lu Xiao speculates that this is not a curse or a special effect of the weapon such as instant kill, but simply because the knife will absorb the owner's life force.
Unfortunately, Lu Xiao's life force had long been frozen and fixed by the Staff of Hermes.
He had asked the system about this matter before, and the answer he received was that the locked life force could no longer be absorbed by any external object.
"Change into a royal child. I have been prepared. I am sure that my life will not be swallowed up by the Immortal Slash. Why don't you take it out and let me have a try?"
Bianruo Yuzi looked at Lu Xiao with somewhat changed eyes. After a while, he sighed and said, "Well, since you have already made up your mind, I won't say anything more."
He stood up and took out a wooden box over one meter long from the back of the Buddhist hall. He transformed into an imperial child and placed it flat on the tatami in front of Lu Xiao.
"This is the Immortal Slash that has been hidden in Xianfeng Temple for a long time."
Opening the lid of the box, an Odachi sword with a dark red scabbard appeared in front of the two of them. Even before it was unsheathed, Lu Xiao could feel the strange power contained in its blade.
Under the watchful eye of Bianruo Yuzi, Lu Xiao took the Odachi out of the box. The ominous aura stimulated Lu Xiao's sixth sense like a needle, reminding him not to pull out the weapon at will.
'System, display the attributes of Immortal Slash.'
"Immortal Slash - Tears of Worship (Rare): The ceremonial sword that worships Sakura Dragon's tears has the special ability to kill all the power of immortality."
"The first time you pull out the Tear of Worship, it will greatly consume the life force of the wielder. After you recognize the owner, it will also slightly drain the owner's life force every time you use it."
"Remarks: The host's vitality is locked by the Staff of Hermes and cannot be absorbed. You can use Immortal Slash and Tears of Worship without any side effects."
"Breathe~blow~"
Although the system made a special note, considering the evil nature of this demonic sword, Lu Xiao was still somewhat nervous before drawing it.
"Qiang!"
In front of Changruo Yuzi, Lu Xiao flipped up the handle of the knife with his thumb, and blood-red aura overflowed from the blade.
"hiss!"
The moment the blade was ejected, the bracelet tied to Lu Xiao's left upper arm suddenly tightened, as if it was resisting the invasion of some external force.
Lu Xiao felt a little uncomfortable being tightened by the bracelet, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
The kind-hearted Bianruo Yuzi thought that Lu Xiao was injured by the curse of Immortal Slash, so she watched his changes nervously, and was ready to rescue him at any time.
The battle between the two props was finally won by the more powerful Staff of Hermes. Unable to absorb the life force, Bai Lei surrendered and allowed Lu Xiao to pull it out of the scabbard with all his strength.
come out.
"Buzz~"
The majestic sound of swiping the sword brought about turbulent airflow. The quality of the dachi was beyond comparison with ordinary dachi, and it looked full of momentum when swung.
But this knife is almost useless for sneak assassinations. The buzzing sound it makes when swinging the knife will clearly announce its presence to the enemy.
After trying a swing of the Immortal Slash, Lu Xiao re-sheathed the blade glowing with red aura.
"I have tamed the Immortal Sword of Tears, please don't worry, I will transform you into a royal child."
To appease the kind-hearted and kind-hearted Bianruo Yuzi, Lu Xiao temporarily tied the Odachi, which was more than one meter in length, on his back with a weapon belt.
"Next, it's time to try the effect of this knife. It just so happens that there are a lot of evil monks waiting for 'transcendence' in Xianfeng Temple."
