Chapter 201: Peaceful Demon City, Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night
John knew, however, that it was not these big dogs who were greedy, but that the magic food refined by the Sanguang Food Curse was like a lost traveler facing life-saving water in the desert.
This desire is deep in the bones, otherwise it would not be so easy for the Taoist mages to transcend the souls of the dead.
Compared with Buddhism's seemingly gentle approach, which is actually a tough method that directly uses the law to force people to die if they don't obey, Taoism's method of inducing others to gain benefits is obviously more reasonable and convenient.
The two Kamamaitas scolded the dog gods for rebelling against monsters and joining humans. The dogs were not at all afraid of Kamamaitachi, the two higher-level monsters, and retorted unwillingly. For a while, the barking sounds were endless.
Although Inugami are spiritual monsters, they can also speak through spiritual communication, but they still maintain the canine habits they had in life.
The scene of instigating rebellion against the enemy on the battlefield was quite joyful for a while.
As a result, the group of people looked at John who had caused this scene with completely different expressions, especially the noble son of the Medis family who looked at John with even more intense eyes, obviously showing great interest.
Even with John's will, he was still a little uncomfortable being stared at by a handsome man with such intense eyes.
So he took the initiative to break the awkwardness and looked at the two hidden ninjas trying to escape from the edge of the battlefield.
…
The two ninjas who were noticed suddenly stopped in their steps.
"The act of abandoning your employer is too despicable even for a ninja, isn't it?"
Yuan Laiming scolded loudly, then turned to John and lowered his head and asked:
"Sir, how do you want to deal with it?"
As Minamoto Raiaki who grew up in a noble family, due to the decline of the family and the environment of internal and external competition, he was not the kind of innocent boy who was just a teenager. Although he was not a black-hearted person, he was far from seeing it.
He looks so kind and weak.
So seeing that John was interested in these two ninjas, Yuan Laiming said this deliberately. Otherwise, although it would not be a pity to kill the two ninjas, it would be a help anyway. He would not do it in a place like Ping An Guixiao.
give up easily.
Minamoto Raiaki's words made the two ninjas stop in their tracks.
With a somewhat troubled expression, he turned back towards the noble boy, who was sitting on the throne, and he was begging in a humble manner.
"Please, please forgive us..."
"Master Ming, we are just afraid and don't want to die at the mouth of monsters. We still have wives and children at home..."
After all, the employer this time is the heir of a great noble in Kyoto. If the other party returns to the safe capital, they only need to mention it casually to the government, then there will be no place for them in the huge Kyoto, and they will have to face the government's reward hunt, or even
Other ninjas who were originally companions would turn around and capture them in exchange for reward money.
As two people who only had ninjas in their ancestors, but were only from a small ninja faction, they still had to support their families. They usually ran errands for the powerful people in Kyoto and did not have any strong ninjutsu inheritance, otherwise they would not have arrived.
Now that the children are half a man tall, they are still two wandering ninjas.
The so-called wandering ninjas are the kind of ninjas in the wild who are not from a ninja sect and have some knowledge of ninjutsu training. In Xuanmen terms, they are described as casual practitioners.
Because wandering ninjas are mixed among good and bad, there are many behaviors such as stealing, stealing and killing. After all, they just need to be careful as they wander around all year round. In this ancient society, it is difficult to be caught and brought to justice. This also leads to people's impression of wandering ninjas being very unpleasant.
good.
It is precisely because of the low status of wandering ninjas that wandering ninjas like them who have family ties do not dare to bow their heads and submit to nobles like Minamoto Akira.
Seeing that Yuan Lai Ming, the aristocratic boy from the island country, was trying to please him, John was happy to cooperate. He smiled softly and teased the ghost dog around him, while casually saying:
"It's not that serious. I'm not a monster. I'm just interested in their ninjutsu and not interested in killing people!"
After hearing this, the two kneeling ninjas immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling happy in their hearts, their backs already soaked with cold sweat.
"Thank you, sir. I am willing to give you the ninjutsu I have learned with both hands!"
"Same for me, sir. Please allow me to copy it down..."
John nodded with satisfaction and was about to say something else. At this time, the two weasels were unhappy.
"Hey, how dare you turn a blind eye to me, how abominable..."
However, the two monsters showed hostility towards John, and the group of dog gods all started barking at the Kamamaitachi, which made the Kamamaitachi even more angry.
"It's really..."
"Stupid dog, I will definitely cut off your dog's head..."
John smiled and waved to the two weasels.
"I see you are not the kind of monster that eats people. Why are you attacking these people?"
Following John's words, the two weasels felt a little embarrassed and their anger also dissipated a lot.
Kamaitachi, who is easier to talk to, said:
"Of course we won't eat people. As the loyal subordinates of King Tonju Doji, we are very clean monsters. What's so delicious about human flesh? We might as well barbecue it..."
Another grumpy Kamamaitachi: "Yes, we just want to capture these guys who have entered the demon city and send them to the king for disposal."
The reason why the attitude towards John is completely different from that towards those people is, on the one hand, because John releases a strong natural aura, which makes them feel very close to them as mountain monsters. Unlike Inugami and other monsters, Kamamaitachi is known as
Among the monsters of the Hundred Demons, there is a rare monster that becomes a monster through the channeling of animals.
It can be said that entity monsters such as Kama Itachi and the legendary nine-tailed fox Tamamae are the real monsters, while Inugami and Natsushasa are more similar to ghosts or evil spirits. In the Taoist system, they cannot be called monsters.
On the other hand, John himself is very strong and has a mysterious and powerful aura. The two weasels can smell the hidden power of John, a human being. It is an aura that is vaguely superior to them. This is why they are willing to be equal to John.
Main reason for communication.
After all, a cat won’t ask a mouse for its opinion even if it’s playing with a mouse, right?
So John understood that these two monsters did not actually mean to kill the people in front of them. At most, they only wanted to escort them to the monster leader.
It sounds like the king of monsters, the drinking boy, has rules that prohibit them from killing people casually. Under the spiritual vision, the spirits of the two monsters are also very pure, without the pollution caused by eating blood and the resentment caused by killing people.
What a arrogant little guy!
John understood Kamitachi's psychological situation, and suddenly felt a little funny, and then said:
"Since they originally wanted to see your wine-swallowing boy king, then you can just watch them go. Wouldn't it be troublesome to catch them and have to transport them there?"
The two weasels looked at each other immediately after hearing this. What this man said made sense, so wasn't our effort just in vain?
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. John did not continue to speak to make the monsters look bad. Instead, he walked over to the two ninjas, greeted Minamoto Raiaki, and urged them to quickly write down the ninjutsu he needed.
"Sir, are you interested in ninjutsu? Then the Ming family has also collected some ninjutsu scrolls. When we return to the safe capital, we can give them to you for review. I hope you can escort us to the demon city safely before leaving."
John originally planned to leave with Arthur and Brandon, and did not want to face the monster king who sounded very powerful like Tonzu Doji. However, from Kamamitachi's words, he could tell that he was not the legendary one.
This kind of evil monster is murderous, and more like a neutral camp. Such a being may be very curious about a visitor from another world like himself, and maybe he can get some benefits from the demon king?
In the last world, John had enjoyed this kind of sweetness, and naturally he didn't want to give it up this time.
So he looked at the other trialist in the team, the Medisian Arecio.
Arecio nodded at him, and then John suddenly heard a voice in his heart.
