Chapter 87 Earth-bound Spirit
On the bank of Suna Mountain, there is a sea of green trees.
There was a heavy snowfall a few days ago. The bare trees were covered with thick snowflakes, so many branches broke under the load and fell to the ground with the snowflakes, making a dull sound.
‘Haah, haah! ’
A steady and powerful shout echoed in the silent forest, followed by the crisp sound of wood hitting each other, and the occasional ‘click’ sound of wood breaking.
Looking closer, Chiba Makoto, who was wearing only warm clothes on his upper body, was holding a bamboo sword and continuously hitting the branches and wooden blocks hanging on the surrounding trees, with each move, showing off the style of a warrior.
The bamboo sword was swung extremely fast, cutting through the air and making a sharp whistling sound. It chopped on the branches three fingers thick. The extremely blunt bamboo sword actually split the branches in half; Even a rough wooden block can be dented, which shows the strength of Chiba Makoto's swing of the bamboo sword.
Ida Jingryu, wearing a patrol uniform, stood aside and looked at Chiba Makoto who was demonstrating his sword skills. His expression did not change, but he was extremely surprised in his heart. How long had he been practicing? It was less than two days. In just a few months, it has reached the same level as when I started two years ago.
This talent is really too strong. If it were in his own time, the master would definitely accept him as a closed disciple, teach him carefully, and even pass on the master's most precious sword, the Sword of Ananagi, to him to replace himself. To destroy the demon Bihumel, so that the master will not be gone forever, causing the sect to be torn apart.
Just
The past cannot be changed, not to mention what happened six hundred years ago, but the future may be possible, especially this child full of light, who can definitely destroy the demon Bihumel sealed by the master.
While Ida and Jingryu were thinking a lot, Chiba Makoto also cut off the last intact branch, stood up with his sword, and breathed a long sigh of relief. The white mist was particularly bright in the ice and snow. Conspicuously, the surrounding snow is full of chopped branches and chopped wood. If you clean it up, you can directly use it as firewood. What Ida Jingryu teaches is not just a show, every move is based on killing. To kill the enemy.
This time, Ida Jingryu did not comment or give any more advice. He just nodded. In just a few months, he witnessed with his own eyes the child's rapid improvement in strength, speed or fighting skills. , they are all very different from when they first met. I have never seen such a talented person before.
Chiba Makoto wiped the sweat from his forehead and talked about the Obik he met two days ago. After listening to Chiba Makoto’s description, Ida Iryu said without thinking: “That’s an earthbound spirit. ”
“Earthbound spirit?”
"Yes!" Ida Jingryu nodded and said: "The monster who died on that land was protected by that land and bound by that land. He could never leave that land forever. He was a very lucky and pitiful monster. ”
Thousands Only then did Ye Cheng understand why Obik wanted to die and made such a big fuss before his death, because there were more and more bright places in Hikono Town, and even the last mountain was about to be shrouded in light, leaving Obik There is no room for survival anymore.
"Is there any way to make the earthbound spirit leave its original place?" Chiba Chengting wanted to persuade Obik to leave Hikono Town and find a rural village to live in. Although it is difficult to leave his hometown, he always Better than being wiped out.
"Well, there is indeed a way," Ida Iryu's words gave Chiba Makoto hope, with a look of anticipation on his face, but he was immediately hit the bottom by Ida Iryu's next words: "Let it become a Buddha."
"Huh?" Chiba Makoto was almost thrown away by Ida Iryu's naughty words. What is becoming a Buddha? To put it nicely, isn't it just to die?
Completely disappear from this world, even if it is possible that he is reincarnated, but without memory and a different face, he is simply another person. Ida Jingryu said seriously: "No matter what the reason for the appearance of the earth-bound spirit, since it is no longer a human being, it naturally should not linger in the human world and disrupt the order of the world. Sending it to become a Buddha is also to free it."
< br>
"But Obik didn't do anything bad. Wouldn't it be great to send him to live in an uninhabited village in the countryside? In this case" Chiba Cheng argued with reason. He really didn't want to Destroy the poor man Obik.
Chiba Makoto's words made Ida Iryu's face become even more ugly, and he suddenly shouted: "You are so naive."
"Huh?" Chiba Makoto was stunned and looked at him in astonishment. Ida Jingryu was furious. Ever since I met him, Ida Jingryu had never seen him angry. Did I just say something that touched his pain point?
Ida Iryu glared at Chiba Makoto and said in an extremely stern tone: "Those demons and ghosts will use various methods to appear pitiful, innocent and even seductive. I don't know how many fledgling demon hunters were killed because of their soft-heartedness, and then the demons Wantonly slaughtering unprotected villages
Remember, you are not fighting for yourself, once you fight for a moment of mercy. If you fail, not only will your life be ruined, but those you protect will also suffer misfortune. By then it will be too late to regret."
Ida Jingryu thought about the past more than once. The tragedy was that the village was in ruins, with broken limbs and arms everywhere, and the demon hunters sent to protect the village might only be left with bitten and shapeless remains, or even a relic.
Qianye Cheng was silent. He certainly knew this truth, but in order to protect human beings, is it right to kill all aliens?
The bad ones will naturally be killed, but what about the aliens like Obik who have no ill intentions and just want to live on the earth?
Thinking of this, Qianye Cheng raised his head and said: "But humans are divided into good guys and bad guys. Are all monsters bad? In your life of slaying monsters, have you never encountered any monsters that are not malicious to humans?" ”
Ida Jingryu felt as if he was struck by lightning, his mind was so shaken that his body shook violently. , almost fell to the ground, and a gentle woman appeared in front of his eyes, shouting at him with tears in her eyes: "Are all you humans kind?"
"Ida-san, Are you okay?" Chiba Cheng saw Ida Jingryu shut up quickly and stepped forward to help him. Ida Jingryu waved his hand and said : "It's okay, it's just fine. I'm a little tired. Let's stop here today."
As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the police bicycle, opened the white iron box and took out a book from it. , threw it towards Qianye Cheng, and said without looking back: "These are some of my humble opinions on monsters and monsters, take them back and have a look. , and I recently received a notice from my superiors that several cars drove into the Qingmu section of Highway 21 and did not come out. Let us patrol more to prevent people from entering the forest and ending their lives. If you are free, go and have a look in that area. Maybe there's some evil spirit at work."
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
"Yes!" Ida Jingryu then confidently mounted his police bicycle and drove towards the town in the north, and soon disappeared into the forest.
Chiba Makoto watched Ida Iryu leave, put away the handwritten thread-bound book, cleaned up the traces of the training ground a little, got on his motorcycle and drove towards the road Ida Iryu mentioned, ready to go See if there are any abnormalities there.
PS: It will be on the shelves this Friday!
