Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 334: A beam of light falling from the sky
Su Lun has now determined that the cursed space of [Death and the Land of Underworld] is connected to reality.
Furthermore, he also distinguished two types of "aboriginal people".
One is a monster like [Shuten Doji] that 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 **** in outsiders and kill them. If you think about her motives, you may know that this space is out like this.
Moreover, the space itself is also full of weirdness.
Normally speaking, the plot in the cursed space will be a lifetime memory of a certain "master will".
But the strange thing is that the plot here does not have happened before, but has a complete timeline. It is still developing over time.
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 great writer who wrote countless years of history for the world with his pen?
It is so difficult to have no flaws.
However, Su Lun, as a time traveler, is not particularly weird.
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 failed to get out of the land of **** after all, and they will stay in it forever." "There"
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 understand swordsmanship, he also has experience in carving.
And he had read too many Shanyin Kingdom documents before, so there was no barrier to communication. No matter what the topic, I can express a few words of my own opinion, and I will quickly become familiar with him.
"Is Mr. Akutagawa's sculpture of the Buddha related to your "Bath Sword Intention of Hell"?"
"Yes. A swordsman who cultivates the realm of **** is a heavy-handed killer. If you don't have compassion, you will fall into the realm of demons sooner or later. Moreover, when I entered the holy realm in my later years, I began to carve Buddhas, and then I discovered that Buddha nature was not the reason for suppressing me. The sword intent of the **** path that increased from killing 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. As high as your Buddha nature is, so is your swordsmanship. Your friend's talent is very good, but she doesn't need some insights yet. My friend, your situation is similar."
""
Su Lun knew that although the old man kept talking, he was actually giving a thousand instructions at all times and nodded 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 master of Shanyin during his lifetime, in his understanding, this is the real land of underworld.
Moreover, the residents of Yamagakure have an unspeakable **** worship for "Izanami". Just like there should be a sun in the sky, it is a solidified knowledge. Not to mention asking what level the Lord of the Underworld is, it 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 flash.
Suren 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 Senjou stayed still and practiced his sword 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, he 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 effect.
The information available 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. Because of him, the concept of "death" comes into being.
On this day, life is as usual.
After "Sword Master" Akutagawa Ryuichi carved the Buddha statue every once in a while, he would go out to find suitable wood.
As usual, only Su Lun and Senjo were left in Asakusa.
In the yard, Senjou was still practicing his sword day after day.
"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh"
The sword energy breaks through the air and is heard endlessly.
Unlike her usual fierce slashing before, Senjo was holding the knife now, more like "playing".
A dead leaf wandered 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 goose feather, rising and falling.
Looking carefully, another pattern was drawn on the dead leaves using sword energy as a pen.
Su Lun was carving a puppet under the eaves, glanced at it, and rolled his eyes.
The painting on the dead leaves seems to be Su himself, but is it too sloppy?
But at this moment, a crow suddenly flew across the sky. 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 micromanipulating 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 sword style of "Akutagawa Itto Style", which requires mastering the meticulous control of sword energy.
Very difficult to get started.
But after learning this secret method, 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 talent?"
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 and develop 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 looked at her becoming 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 have 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 the realization of "Sword Intent" 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 the "Underworld" can be regarded as a blessing and a blessing. It is a rare 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 Qianjou, I am going to go to the city again today."
While cutting leaves, Senjo 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 to take a look around."
If he were not trapped, he would be really interested in this novel world.
The laws of the land of **** in this book are impeccable, but 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 many materials containing 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, which are rare to see outside.
When 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 purchased at a hundred or a thousand times the price.
He felt that if he really could get out alive, he could write a travel diary, called "I Became a Tramp in the Underworld".
Qianjo 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.
After a pause, she glanced at Su Lun and said, "Be careful."
"Yeah."
Su Lun put on his cloak and picked up the rune umbrella. As usual, he first let go of the black crows to explore the way ahead, and then walked towards the dilapidated gate of the Buddhist temple.
But after taking only a few steps, suddenly, beams of white light lit up in the sky, shining on the east side of the city!
In this gray world, that beam of white light is as eye-catching as a falling star.
Qianjou suddenly turned his face, looked at the beam of light, and shouted softly: "What is that!"
Su Lun turned his eyes, a hint of expectation appeared in his eyes, and immediately said: "Let's go and have 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 there is no flaw 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. Along the way, they also discovered that other monsters were attracted to them.
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 still some faintly powerful beings.
The two of them were not in a hurry to get closer. They just gathered in the woods in the distance with some little ghosts who came to watch 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" came 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?"
Qianjou also discovered this: "Isn't it Miko's fault?"
In Yamayaku, the sun is synonymous with Amaterasu. And the god-clothed Miko is a shrine maiden who serves the gods.
The two of them did not forget that when they came in, there should be a battle going on in Edo City 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?"
As Su Lun said, he glanced 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!
Su Lun ""
Thousands of items: ""
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.
Qianjou 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 like outside, the result can be imagined.
Qianjo nodded.
The two got off 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 an afterglow like a 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 is no shrine in the land of underworld. Even if there is one on this hillside, it is the same dilapidated shrine as Sensoji Temple.
Qianjo shook the knife in his hand and asked, "Shall we go over and take a look?"
Su Lun nodded.
Whether it is Yuzi or some other situation, they need 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 becoming dim at a speed visible to the naked eye due to the lack of external light beams. The shadow on the periphery 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 toward 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.
The ghosts and ghosts 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 huge-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 exist in stories these days, and he has also seen a few familiar 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.
When I shared the view, I 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?
