Chapter 259 258. Heretics
After the side hall of Xianfeng Temple, there is a mountain road with few buildings. After passing this road, you can officially enter the Buddhist building complex of Xianfeng Temple.
After the four of them walked out of the side hall, Kurokasa no Raccoon consciously jumped to the roof.
He still needs to go one step ahead to investigate the situation and eliminate the ninjas stationed there.
But before he left, Lan En told him that if something went wrong, they would meet up immediately.
The ninjas in the front hall were cleared away, and any professional ninja would be alerted by this phenomenon.
Three warriors with low movement efficiency were traveling on conventional roads.
Old Robert was as lifeless as an empty suit of armor, hurried forward dully.
Lan En's face was calm, but the witcher's extraordinary senses were always operating.
Now his entire field of vision is in an unusually bright and high-saturation state.
As for Isshin Ashina, who was walking at the end, although he was a skinny old man with tengu face, his leisurely posture looked like he was out on an outing.
But the fingertips that tapped on the handle of the knife at his waist have always maintained a high degree of sensitivity.
If he wanted to, the next time he tapped his fingertips, the gold and steel dragon sword would directly burst out with an exaggerated airflow blade drawing technique.
Things did not go as Lan En expected. When a few people walked out of the side hall, they were immediately surrounded by alert monks and ninjas.
On the contrary, the surroundings were eerily quiet.
"Relax first, Lan En."
The experienced Ashina Isshin is actually more experienced than the young demon hunter expert in this situation.
The old man smiled like an old cat about to burst into a mouse's nest and kill.
"The terrain is not spacious enough now, and the enemy's numerical advantage is not easy to use. They will meet us further behind, in a larger terrain."
Lan En closed without leaving a trace. The demon hunter's senses are operating at high power.
"So, we have to fight with them at a place chosen by the enemy? The traps and positions are all determined by the enemy?"
"Otherwise?" The old man smiled quite indifferently. "Isn't this how 'siege warfare' is fought? If you want to win the final victory, you have to crush the enemy's traps and countermeasures one by one. Are you afraid?"
"It's not that scary, just a little bit. Not simple and elegant enough." Lan En twisted his neck indifferently.
"But now we are in Ashina, Japan. You are a local expert and you have the final say."
The three of them have reached a wooden corridor on the cliff.
Going further, there is a large open space, and then there is the Xianfeng Temple complex.
The footsteps on the wooden floor were steady and steady, and the sunlight shone slantly on the three people from the grille of the wooden corridor one by one.
There are no birds chirping in the environment, and there is no sign of safety that Kurokasa no Tanuki should report once every ten minutes.
Lan En looked at the end of the wooden corridor, the dividing line between shadow and sunlight, and his left hand had already grasped the edge of the scabbard on his waist.
Ashina Isshin's smile got bigger and bigger under his mask.
Old Robert's posture changed from a slow walk to a trot.
Going out from the exit of the wooden corridor, there are no twists and turns.
The three people continued to walk towards the building complex in the large open terrain without any setbacks.
However, when the three of them walked to the center of the land...
More than fifty flying props, with the sound of howling wind, were projected towards the three of them like an overwhelming force!
Old Robert yelled: "You devils!"
After that, he opened his arms wide and let the front of his armor catch these projectiles. In this world, the armor-casting technology of Europe far exceeds that of Japan. Apart from the impact, these projectiles cannot hurt the old Robert in the armor at all.
A dazzling sword light suddenly flashed out of Ashina Isshin's scabbard.
The sword light drew a flexible arc in the air, and several sparks were struck on the arc, and then all the projectiles directed towards the Tengu-faced old man were bounced away.
Even if he is only wearing cloth or raincoat, no matter how sharp the flying knife is, he will not be hurt.
Lan En's movements are more like a combination of the two.
The knife in his hand easily deflected these long-range weapons. The other hand took advantage of the sound of wind whistling in the air and grabbed it.
After the noise of the projectiles subsided, the witcher looked at the weapon he had caught.
That is a Buddhist Buddha wheel half the size of a palm.
It was originally supposed to be a symbol of solemnity and enlightenment used in Buddhist rituals and decorations. But in the hands of the monks of Xianfeng Temple today, the compassionate Buddha Wheel has become a long-range hidden weapon.
Now, even the materialistic Lan En couldn't help but curse in a low voice with an expressionless face.
"This is really an evil heretic!"
Throwing the Buddha wheel from his hand, Ashina Isshin chuckled.
"Well said, 'evil demons and heretics'. These monks have already violated the highest precepts in Buddhism. So even if we kill them all, the Bodhisattva will not blame them. ”
The Buddhist precepts are nothing more than "killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, and lying." That is: killing, stealing, sexual conduct, and lying.
Being higher than these four precepts, and even higher than all evil deeds in the context of Buddhism, it can be called the biggest and worst karma, that is, falling into heretics!
From a believer to a disbeliever.
From a believer in Buddhism to a believer in others.
In Xianfeng Temple now, the monks believe more in doing good deeds and cultivating the afterlife than in Buddha. There is no doubt that they believe in the practical 'immortality'!
Dozens and hundreds of people, high and low, stood up on the surrounding buildings, rocks, and branches of this open space.
Just like what Kurokasa no Tanuki explained, among them were the Ranpo people, the monks of Senhoji Temple, and the man in a hat holding a double-headed naginata.
It seems that because of Lan En and Ashina Isshin's comments, these people who were still dressed as monks finally became angry and couldn't even maintain their dead expressions.
A monk wearing a turban and a veil, with several bamboo dragonflies tied around his waist shouted loudly.
"How dare a man in this world dare to make arrogant remarks about people from outside the world?! You broke into my Xianfeng Temple today. I think you are the evil heretics who want to destroy the practice of Buddhism!"
"Kill them!"
The light body jumped from a high place and fell again.
The shadow of the person even blocked the sun for a moment, shrouding the bodies of the three people in darkness.
But there is no doubt that all three people said that this is what they came for!
"Devil! Die!"
Old Robert's body was half-hunched, making people unable to believe that a body wearing full plate armor could lower its center of gravity so low.
At this time, in terms of bone and muscle structure, he is more like a beast!
The giant sword roared, and even without waiting for the figure to fall, it rushed directly towards a tree as thick as someone's thigh!
The steel giant sword was almost not used to chop, but directly smashed the tree!
The bodies of Luanbo who were standing on the tree shook and fell down directly.
At some point Ashina Isshin's gold-steel dragon sword was put back into its sheath. At this time, he lowered his body and assumed an Iai posture.
The demon hunter took out a bottle of [Thunder] that can increase muscle explosive power from the alchemical leather bag on his waist, and drank it.
