Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 35: “Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa”

It is said that each of the Twelve Famous Swords 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 Ishou" that Su Lun saw before in the Pirate City was the last twelve skills, but that famous sword was already known to everyone. A big killer.

Someone once said that the top three have the power of [Forbidden Object] level.

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.

Looking at 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 the truth, Su Lun felt greedy.

After all, whoever knows about this famous sword will probably want to keep it as their own.

However, the name of this "demon sword" sounds strange, and the more you listen to it, the more interesting it becomes. But it is still placed safely in the ancestral hall, which already shows that this knife is not so easy to take away.

The old man continued: "There were people who wanted to take it away before, including thieves, ronin, samurai, wealthy businessmen, great swordsmen... and even famous names. But without exception, they all met with misfortune, and no good results were obtained. Harmful to the people around him. 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, the knife has also been Nothing happened again, and it also protected our Sword Making Village."

The beginning of this story aroused Su Lun's strong interest. He asked: "This sword is so evil, is there a story behind it?"

"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 the best sword production place in the entire Shanyin Kingdom. One. But a hundred years ago, something suddenly happened. At that time, there was a sword-making family called the Zongzheng family in our village, and their sword-forging skills were unparalleled. They found meteorite iron from outside the sky and cast an extremely sharp "Five Generations" sword. Zongzheng". That knife cuts iron like clay, which is enough to be considered as a "good and famous knife". On the day the sword was completed, countless swordsmen heard the news and came to ask for the sword. But after all, the patriarch of the Zongzheng family at the time, Zongzheng Kenshin, was not satisfied with the sword stopping here, thinking that a sword without a 'spirit' was not perfect enough. So I read ancient books, always trying to find a way to forge a great sword. In the end, the method was not found, and people became crazy instead. I heard from my grandfather that when he was a child, he saw Master Qianxin wandering around the village holding a knife all day long, always muttering something in his mouth..."

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 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 that moment on, strange things started happening. 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. The other famous sword forging masters in the village did not escape either, and accidents occurred 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 turn it into an indestructible devil. At that time, it was crazy and crazy. But Master Kenshin 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 "Five Generations" Zong Zheng" killed the "Hundred-Eyed Ghost". Because the monster has become a climate and cannot be killed, it can only be sealed in the sword according to the method left by Master Kenshin. It became the current "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa". ”

"..."

When Su Lun heard this story, he suddenly understood.

The forging process alone 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, causing a lot of killings, and the name of the 'demon sword' was also known to everyone. No. People can subdue this sword, and 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 anymore, so he asked someone to give him advice and built it. We use incense and worship in the ancestral hall, and we have been in peace for the past few decades."

After hearing the origin of the demon sword in the ancestral hall, Su Lun felt 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 way the incense was used to worship it.

"No one knows."

The old man shook his head, sighed slightly and said, "Everyone who gets "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa" will have no good results. But no one can tell what the mystery is. According to people who have survived a fight with this demon sword, it can make people see ‘hell’...”

The story has come to an end.

After hearing this, Su Lun's eyes froze slightly.

Just listening to the story made people have a strong interest in the demon sword.

Fortunately, he is not a swordsman, so the attraction of famous swords to him is limited. If he really wanted to be a swordsman himself, he would probably try it no matter how evil he was.

What's more, the knife is 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 he's afraid that someone will take the sword away. We just don't want to see this sword bring misfortune to people anymore. ”

"Yeah."

Su Lun nodded.

Nothing involving 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 has absolutely no idea.

But suddenly!

An idea flashed in Su Lun's mind, and another idea came to his mind.

Just after they encountered a shipwreck, they came to such a village with a demon sword. Is it really such 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 use in reminding them.

Thoughts were racing in his mind, he connected all the clues together, estimated the risks of the matter, and generally felt that he was still able to protect himself. I didn’t think much about it.

If something really goes wrong, he will definitely leave immediately.

.......

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 at midnight were so strong that it hurt people's faces as if they were being cut by 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 hut again, and said with disgust: "Oh, my God, this shabby house will probably collapse under a heavy snowfall."

Su Lun shrugged and said unconcernedly: "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 previous two people.

"It's really cold. I don't know if there are any women in this village who can warm me up."

"Captain, I saw some pretty peasant women in 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 "Teabeard" Hands. His strength is only at the second level, but he has become the captain of the artillery team 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?"

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. People all the way. I thought Oleg was going to be crowned king and change his appearance as a pirate, but I didn’t expect it to happen again. 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, how can I still think about it? Just have fun. We all have a hard life, so why bother?”

As he spoke, Sharp sighed helplessly. He knew that he could not change anything except complaining, so he did not think about the things that made him more and more upset. Instead, he said: "Hey, tell me, in this village, Are there any monsters?"

"..."

Su Lun did not speak as he listened, looking 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?

This is 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 in his heart for a long time suddenly surged into his heart.

Sharp, who was standing aside, looked at Su Lun in a daze, with a strangely cold expression on his face, and asked anxiously: "Hey, brother, why are you so dazed? Are you possessed by a monster? Don't scare me. .."

Su Lun's face had no expression at all, and he didn't explain much. He just said calmly: "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 was previously given to Su Lun, and Xiaochi and his daughter were among the haystacks where the house was demolished.

"Hey, 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, he heard the two of them laughing and talking.

A olfactory perception professional uses it to steal fragrances and jade, haha...

The three members of the Xiaochi family in the woodshed have been stunned by the hallucinogen. They were about to take off the little girl's clothes when a patch of snow-white shoulder leaked out.

Seeing this, Su Lun's eyes flashed red.

Hearing someone walking in, Polk looked back and frowned: "Why are you here if you don't go to stand guard?"

Su Lun said with no emotion as if looking at a corpse: "Captain, I don't think this is good. They are also miserable people."

Polk was holding his breath when someone interrupted his good deeds. After hearing these words, he immediately became angry: "Who the **** do you think you are, meddling in my business?"

While talking, another minion 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 were 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. What is difficult is not to implicate the village after killing them.

If you 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 strong.

Su Lun frowned and looked around.

That "being" doesn't look like a human being.

After all, Su Lun’s current perception can be distinguished even by a sixth- and seventh-level professional peeking into his eyes.

It feels like some kind of special existence, a monster?

Polkshen thought Su Lun was frightened by his momentum, and sneered: "Get out!"

My 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 the void. Before the two Polks had time to react, a blood line appeared on their necks.

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 was still thinking that he would be discovered, so he prepared 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.

The half-baked fifth level and a group 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"!

At the same time, he found that his vision fell into darkness.

"Visual stripping?"

Su Lun didn't panic at all.

The black umbrella in his hand was held high, and it opened with a "bang".

As quickly as lightning, he turned around and 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 if his vision was stripped away, he was not affected at all. With a glare of his left eye, the Eye of All was able to decipher the truth of everything in front of him.

"So this 'demon sword' is like this..."

Su Lun instantly felt confident.

Just when he was about to use the magic technique 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."

The hostility is gone?

The evil aura faded away like a tide, Su Lun did not move, 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 a sinister arc, and he murmured: "Interesting, are we about to take action..."

He became very interested in going to see what happened, so he walked out quietly.
