Chapter 326

The commotion of the battle became louder and louder, almost spreading to the entire Ginza neighborhood.

More and more people rushed over, those who fled in all directions, those who watched the excitement, those who fished in troubled waters, and those who participated in the battle

The scene was chaotic.

Su Lun concentrated on looking at the center of the battlefield, watching, but a regretful expression appeared on his face.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't see that Yute Yeji make a move.

There are too many pirates, the shogunate, the Black Dragon Society and the imperial warriors, and there is no need for her to take action.

Looking at the figures active in the battlefield, Su Lun also said with emotion: "There are many masters in Edo."

After a while, the battle was over.

All the ghosts dispersed, and the "demon" Abe Taihe disappeared in the burning fire.

Su Lun didn't doubt whether he could escape,

Su Lun has seen the way that guy saves his life with his own eyes, and it is so strong.

Even professionals who are one or two higher ranks may not be able to stay.

Looking at the dilapidated neighborhood, Qianjo muttered, "Oh, it seems that there is no gambling tonight."

As she spoke, she hooked Su Lun's shoulders again, "Let's go. Let's go have some supper."

"Um."

Su Lun ate half of it before he came, and he wasn't full, so he might as well fill his stomach.

The two walked side by side towards the other half of the block that was not fought, where there were many restaurants and stalls with special food.

As they walked, Su Lun also asked: "Sister Qiantiao, you fought against that imperial hand Ye Ji before, what do you think of her strength?"

Qiantiao thought about it, and responded: "The physical body is very strong. She can receive my slashes with bare hands. Seeing that the occupational sequence is similar to that of the old man with runes, he is taking the path of strengthening the physical body."

"Can you catch the sword with your bare hands?"

Su Lun frowned when he heard this.

But if you think about it for a while, it's not surprising.

To be able to receive thousands of slashes with bare hands, even a regular sixth-level professional cannot do it. But the essence of "Pandora" is a rune puppet. The runes drawn on her body can probably be the top-level runes that the material itself can withstand, and it should be very strong.

Chijo didn't know that Mite Yahime was an artificial alchemist. Speaking of which, she changed the subject, frowned and said: "But her fighting skills are not too good, and her martial arts are also quite satisfactory, even a little jerky. At least it doesn't match her ability to pick up knives with bare hands. However, she has a very clever way of controlling the field, which is very weird. If it wasn't for Miss Miko, no one would have been able to escape from that assassination."

In fact, Su Lun only knew the name of [Pandora], and he didn't know what abilities this alchemy man had.

He also guessed something after hearing what Qianjo said.

Physically strong and mentally strong, this should be a hardware attribute. The jerky fighting skills are probably a problem of acquired learning. After she was discovered, she should have been studied as a "cursed object" all year round, so she had no chance to learn combat skills at all?

But Yute Yeji is a very important person. If she doesn't know what abilities she has, Su Lun always feels that there will be a big problem.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Senior Sister must know!"

【Pandora】Since it is the research result of my teacher Sereya, Mr. Jing, who is his own daughter, should know about it.

Seeing his sudden change of expression, Qianjo asked, "What did you think of?"

Su Lun said: "I think, I may know some details about Yute Yeji."

Su Lun directly picked up the communicator and dialed: "Sister, do you know the teacher's 'Pandora Research'?"

As soon as he heard the title, Qiantiao knew who he was communicating with, and raised his eyebrows.

Not long after, a response came from the communicator: "I know something. What's wrong?"

Su Lun was overjoyed when he heard that, and gave a general account of the situation he was encountering now. Then he said: "So, the current situation is that I want to know some more information about 'Pandora'. For example, what abilities does she have."

After listening, Mr. Jing pondered for a moment, and then responded: "That's my mother's research project. When I fell into sleep, this project has not been completed. So I don't know very detailed. Moreover, because 'Artificial man' is actually a taboo subject, and there are no detailed research notes left in the world, and it's normal if you can't find it in your notes."

"Taboo subject?"

Su Lun was a little surprised.

"Um."

Mr. Jing said: "'Creating man' should be an ability that can only be mastered by the creator. This kind of research is originally a kind of 'taboo' that is feared by the gods. My father once deduced some conclusions in fate, and it is certain that , once this knowledge is grasped by human beings, it will probably be covered up and erased by some indescribable high-level existence. It is not an ordinary god rank, but a higher existence like the law of everything."

As soon as Su Lun heard this, he immediately understood.

Creating humans seems to violate the normal laws of nature?

Mr. Jing obviously also guessed what Su Lun wanted to ask, and she directly expressed her guess, "Others are too clear to me. But [Pandora]'s soul may be related to belief. According to some historical data, the status of ancient times Faced with war, many times it is actually a dispute for belief resources between gods. The belief system at Shanyin is very complicated, and everything can become a monster. Since the Yute Jiye you mentioned has stayed in Shanyin for so many years, it is very important. It may be a conspiracy. Of course, it is not ruled out that this is some means left by my parents. Because. They have studied the topic of 'how to make gods'. After all, the facts show that even if the gods have fallen and there are believers, the gods are still there. It will exist in the world, which is why the Dawn Era collapsed, and this plane can no longer give birth to gods, but some "false gods" are emerging one after another."

"."

Su Lun was really shocked when he heard these words.

It turns out that it's not just man-made humans,

Are Saria and Sir Isaac trying to create a god?

Damn it.

The teacher is awesome!

Master is awesome!

However, the current situation is that [Pandora] has a high probability of being someone from the opposing camp. The stronger she is, the more difficult she is to deal with?

Su Lun expressed her worries.

Mr. Jing responded: "My father and mother are very thoughtful when doing things, and they usually leave some room. They will never create an alchemy product that they cannot control to cause trouble for human civilization in future generations. Therefore, that [ Pandora】There is definitely a weakness of restraint, if you think about it, you should be able to find it.”

After hanging up the communicator, Su Lun let out a long breath.

Although he didn't get the exact solution to the problem from Mr. Jing, he also had some ideas in his mind.

[Pandora] is a product of alchemy, so her weaknesses are nothing more than material and some functional defects. Just like the intelligent robot in the previous life, it has "system back door" and "administrative authority".

"Hey, administrator rights?"

Su Lun suddenly thought, since it is a rune puppet, could that "weakness" have something to do with the inheritance of their puppet master lineage?

Can also control?

Thoughts raced through his mind, instantly ruling out all possibilities.

At this moment, Qiantiao on the side stopped, and suddenly said, "Just eat here?"

Su Lun came back to his senses and saw that they had already walked to a snack stall on the street.

It is said to be a booth, but it is actually a delicate wooden cart. There is a stove and a steaming cauldron in the car, and various ingredients are placed on the shelves. The sign reads: "Milar Ramen."

The boss is a middle-aged man with a rice bowl on his head. He greets the guests with a smile when he sees them coming.

Su Lun was half full, nodded, "I can do it."

Qianjo waved his hand and said to the boss, "Two large bowls of ramen!"

Boss: "Okay."

The two sat down on the chair.

Not long after, hot ramen was served.

Stepping on the stool with one thousand legs, he ate without hesitation.

The taste is good and the appetite is good.

The two chatted for a while, and Su Lun released the paper crane left by the imperial son before, and wanted to ask about the possibility of visiting the Imperial Library.

I wanted to ask Qianjo to come together, but when the young gambling addict heard this, she shook her head like a rattle, "Are you going to the Imperial Palace? That kind of place is boring to death, I won't go."

Su Lun knew that she was reluctant to part with the hustle and bustle of the casino, and she was not the kind of person who could sit idle, so she didn't say much.

Instead, he asked: "Miss Qianjo, you said you came to Edo to look for the "Sword Master" Akutagawa Ryuichi to seek the way of the sword, did you find it? "

"No. It seems to be dead."

With a mouthful of ramen stuffed in Qianjo's mouth, his words were a little slurred: "I went to visit several kendo gyms before, and few of the so-called 'One Sword Style' and 'Xinyin Style' masters really understood the way of kendo. The essence is very boring. On the contrary, the former "Shadow Buddha" Kato Danzou has the highest swordsmanship. It's a pity that that guy is powerful, but he specializes in ninjutsu, and the realm of swordsmanship is far from holy."

"oh."

Su Lun listened, took a sip of the noodles, and drank the stomach-warming noodle soup.

This snowy night, the body feels very satisfied.

Chijo said again: "I heard that "Sword Master" Akutagawa Ryuichi still has heirs in Edo, but I don't know if it's true. There are also several powerful schools of kendo passed down from Edo. I went to 'Tiankaikaku' tonight to find a guy named Hanjiro Yagyu. It is said that he is a descendant of the sword master Yagyu Jubei a hundred years ago. But did not come across. "

"oh"

Su Lun didn't know much about kendo, and he had only heard of these names.

The two were chatting while eating. At this moment, a blind girl holding a three-xuanqin and leaning on a bamboo pole came by the side of the road. "Sir, Miss, do you want to play a song? It only costs two copper coins."

The blind girl looked about fifteen or sixty years old, and was wearing a washed, starched and patched cotton coat. This kind of handicapped little girl can't be a geisha, so she can only perform on the street. There are many nearby. Although two copper coins can buy about half a catty of brown rice, which is already the cheapest enjoyment, but it is not something that the poor in Shanyin can enjoy. They have to live in Ginza, a place where foreign businessmen hang out, to earn money.

Su Lun glanced at it, but didn't care. When the blind girl came from the seven or eight stalls next door, he noticed it. No one ordered her songs, she asked all the way alone in the cold wind.

Before he could open his mouth, Qian Tiao didn't lift his head, threw out a few copper coins, and waved his hand, "Let's play a song."

"thank you boss."

Listening to the direction of the voice, the blind girl bowed slightly to salute.

She put down the bamboo mat she was carrying, tuned the strings, and began to play the tune.

"Clang, clang, clang"

A little tune came to my ears.

Su Lun also felt that it was not bad, the technique was not wrong, the sound of the three-stringed zither was a little hard, but listening to it in this snowy day, it was also somewhat artistic.

"Huh"

But Qiantiao at the side seemed to hear something else, and stopped eating noodles.

After the song was over, she turned around and asked, "Have you ever learned the art of swordsmanship?"

The blind girl said softly, "No."

Qiantiao took a look at her, except for the cocoon playing the piano, there was no incision in her hand, so she was naturally not a swordsman.

She didn't say much, and threw a few coins into the basket, "It's a good bounce."

The blind girl touched the coins, seeming a little panicked, "Boss, I've given you too much. I'll play a few more songs for you."

Qianjo waved his hand: "No need. I reward you."

"Thanks."

The blind girl couldn't resist, thanked her and left.

Waiting for the person to leave, Qianjo muttered again, "Her song is a bit interesting. It should be that I have heard sword masters practice swords before. I understand some sword meanings."

Su Lun didn't hear so many ways, but the soul fire of the blind girl was just an ordinary person, and there was nothing worth noting.

Qianjo didn't know how long he had been at the gambling stall, but he seemed to be really hungry. After eating a bowl of ramen, he ordered another bowl and ate it.

Coincidentally, when the two were eating noodles, a guest came from the booth next door.

It was a few samurai with swords.

Looking at the clothes and sword, he is not a down and out warrior, he seems to have some background.

"Hey, those foreign pirates are really deceiving people. There is no one in the mountains!"

"Hmph! It's not blowing. As soon as I released the 'Lightning Five Swords', those pirates were scared to death. I only blame the Takeda shogunate for not doing anything and not letting them resist. Otherwise, I would really give those arrogant outsiders Some lessons."

"Mr. Liusheng's kendo is of course nothing to talk about. Now that there are various schools of 'One Sword Style', I am afraid that you are the only one who has realized the true meaning of kendo."

"."

Listening to the conversation of several people, Su Lun somehow had a sense of "Master X".

Moreover, one of them, by coincidence, is the "Yagyu Hanjiro" that Qianjo mentioned before?

Not to mention other things, that guy looks really good, his hair is combed shiny, and the sword on his waist is not ordinary at first glance.

However, in the perception of the soul, it seems that it is not very strong.

Su Lun thought he had misread, glanced at Qiantiao beside him, and asked, "Is this the person you are looking for?"

This young woman addicted to gambling thought she was so lucky that she met and found someone she wanted. As soon as her high-spirited fighting spirit rose, but she turned her head to look at it, and was immediately disappointed.

Some people, at a glance, know that he has lost.

Chijo shook his head, "This kind of guy is not worth drawing my sword at all."

When Su Lun heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. It turned out that his perception was correct. There are false masters in every world.

Because a new customer came to the stall next door, the previous buskers took turns to ask around.

Yagyu Banjiro would enjoy it with himself, and invited a few artists to play and sing there, serving them and drinking.

The blind female luthier was among them.

Su Lun was waiting for Yuzi's reply, so he was not in a hurry to leave.

Qianjo, the big eater, is still not full, and several bowls of ramen overlap.

This Ginza was originally an entertainment district in Edo, and the probability of troubles caused by alcohol in this kind of place is very high.

Especially in the past two days, a large number of pirates have flooded in. Those guys, the city guards don't dare to control them, so they become more and more unscrupulous. Insulting the women of the people, eating and drinking, taking what they want, extremely rampant.

While Su Lun and the others were eating noodles, a few guys in pirate costumes sat drunkenly at the booth next door.

"Boss, serve the best food and wine!"

A few people sat down in a hurry and yelled at the owner of the wine stall.

The boss didn't dare to delay, so he quickly brought the wine and meat to the table.

Su Lun glanced at the leader, who he happened to meet.

The acting captain of the Eleventh Division of the Ninth Fleet seems to be called Marquez, a fourth-tier professional.

The few people around him were also carrying sophisticated firearms, so they were not easy to mess with at first sight.

A few people seemed to feel that they were not satisfied with eating and drinking for free, so they saw a few performers next to Yanagi Hanjiro's seat next door, and shouted loudly: "Hey! You guys, come over and sing for the uncle. A song!"

Qu'er was robbed halfway through listening to it, which was a very humiliating thing.

But Hanjiro Yagyu and the samurai at the table were about to shout angrily, but when they saw the pirate costumes, they restrained themselves and didn't dare to say anything.

Several artists had no choice but to follow suit.

They were just looking for some life on the street, and they were not outstanding in figure and appearance.

But people who are drunk and lustful will always do some outrageous things.

The drunken pirates suddenly went berserk.

"Come on, take off your clothes and do a dance for me."

"Damn it, I gave you shame? Believe it or not, I shot you to death!"

"."

Conflict arose immediately.

These pirates know very well that as long as they don't really kill people, the Shanyin officials will not care about them.

Just hearing the sound of "tearing", the padded jacket of the blind female luthier was removed, revealing her thin body. She fell into the snow, groping for her blind-guide bamboo pole in panic and panic.

Watching this scene, the pirates laughed obscenely in the street.

The pirate who tore his clothes just now even stretched out his hand, wanting to continue touching the tender meat in the padded jacket.

Even so, the people at Liu Sheng's table a few meters away did not move at all, but kept their heads buried, afraid of being implicated.

When Su Lun saw this, a gloomy look flashed across his eyes.

Qianjo on the side dropped his chopsticks and said sneeringly, "Is this the case for the descendants of Sword Master Yanagyu Juhei?"

Hearing being pointed at his nose and scolded, Hanjiro Yagyu still wanted to defend himself: "If it wasn't... if it wasn't for the general's order, I..."

"snort!"

But before the words fell, a disdainful cold snort was heard, and then the long sword was unsheathed with a clang.

Before everyone could react, the sword energy pierced through the air, and a severed hand fell into the snow.

The captain of the Tier 4 acting team immediately sobered up, and was the first to react, shouting angrily: "Bold! Who dares to attack our North Sea Fleet!"

But before he could finish speaking, Qiantiao's figure flashed, and he rushed more than ten meters, and the four heads of a table of five people fell to the ground instantly.

The fourth-tier captain only blocked a few more knives before his head fell to the ground with a bang.

The whole process took only a few breaths of time, and the heads of a table of pirates fell to the ground.

Qiantiao had put away his knife and stood alone in the snow.

The table next door to Hanjiro Yagyu was stunned.

They never thought it would be a murder.

But then, the shock turned into fear.

"This woman is in trouble!"

"Ouch. Let's go, don't get involved."

"."

The diners in half a block stayed away, and even the stall owners of a few shops didn't even want their business, so they hid somewhere.

Su Lun sat there expressionless, hooked his fingers, held the black umbrella in his hand, and was ready to fight.

If you really want to make a fuss, let's make a fuss.

He didn't take it seriously when he killed a few pirates.

However, next, unexpected things happened one after another for Su Lun!

There are many pirates near this snack street, and Qianjo just killed Marquez from the 11th team. Some of the pirates on the street shouted loudly and wanted to help. But after being decapitated by a thousand sword qi, no one would dare to stand out easily.

Thinking about waiting for a few minutes, waiting for the other team leaders to come.

Captain Fan can't handle it any longer, and senior cadres like the captain of the fleet will come.

Su Lun felt that he could spend at least a few more minutes.

Qianjo didn't bother with the blind female luthier on the ground, and getting involved too much now would only hurt her, so she just said lightly: "You go first."

The blind girl kept silent, touched her own bamboo pole, and left quietly.

I didn't think so,

Didn't wait for the captain of the pirates to come

At this moment, suddenly, a light and shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and a swordsman in linen wearing a bamboo hat appeared out of thin air.

"Um?!"

Su Lun's pupils shrank suddenly, without any fluctuation, this person appeared!

Not far away, Qiantiao stared at the man with an expression as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Master!

Top swordsman!

Not from the North Sea Fleet!

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Lun's mind, when he didn't want to understand the origin of the sudden appearance of the swordsman.

Suddenly, just as Liu Sheng's group of people were about to slip away, a silver moon appeared in front of them.

The light of the sword is like a silver moon.

At first glance, Hanjiro Yagyu's expression froze there, and a line of blood appeared on his neck immediately.

The accomplice at the side saw something, and tremblingly said: "The unique skill of 'Yagyu Issou-ryu', [Sword's Profound Truth·Moon Copy]! This is the senior of the Yagyu family!"

Su Lun didn't understand at all. This swordsman in sackcloth suddenly appeared, killed a minion, and left?

Moreover, from the meaning of other people's words, this seems to be the elder of the Yagyu family?

However,

next scene,

Su Lun couldn't believe his eyes even more.

The linen swordsman walked a few steps, his figure was like a faded ink painting, getting lighter and lighter. Then, under the eyes of everyone, just like when he appeared out of thin air just now, he suddenly disappeared out of thin air!

Without any spatial fluctuations, both body and soul fires disappeared.

What the hell?

He is obviously a living person, how could he suddenly appear and then disappear?

Su Lun felt that this scene seemed familiar, and immediately thought of the situation in "Sword Forging Village" before.

But before he had time to think about it, Qiantiao seemed to understand something, and murmured: "Such a level of swordsmanship. It can only be the 'sword master' Jubei Yagyu from a hundred years ago."

For the first time, Su Lun felt that his brain was not enough.

He didn't speak, but Qianjo greeted him: "Let's go first, we'll talk about it later!"

Su Lun nodded, and the two quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The hustle and bustle behind him could be heard densely, Su Lun and Qianjo changed their outfits, and walked leisurely in the dark alley.

Su Lun asked, "Sister Qiantiao, what happened just now?"

Chijo said: "That should be the sword master Yagyu Jubei from a hundred years ago."

"The character from a hundred years ago is still alive?"

Su Lun was even more confused.

The ancestor of the Liu Sheng family came to kill a junior and then left?

"died."

Qianjo's face was also surprised, "That's his soul."

Su Lun frowned, "Soul?"

It is clearly a living person in perception, how could it be a soul?

Is my perception wrong?

Suddenly, he thought of what Abe Yasuka said to him before: "Dark Sun Festival" is coming soon, the kingdom of the underworld and the present world overlap.

Is this what you mean?

Although Su Lun had heard the legend of Shanyin, people would go to the Underworld after death, and it was said that it was the same as the world. There are even legends that the world at night is actually the kingdom of Huangquan.

Qiantiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Similar situations have occurred one after another in the past few days. Some people who are obviously dead have appeared in the real world. Those souls of the dead from the Yellow Spring Kingdom will follow the blood of their relatives to find Come."

This explains everything.

Why did the Sword Saint Yanagyu Juhei appear here just now?

Probably followed the unfilial sons and grandchildren.

Su Lun also found it incredible.

Legends belong to legends, but they can become true. How do people understand?

Alchemists are pure materialists. They need to look at the essence through phenomena so as not to be confused.

But what is the essence of this matter?

Chijo said again: "I asked Yuzi before, and she said that this kind of situation also happened during the Black Sun Festival before. But this time, it seems to be very different. Before, there were only some ordinary ghosts. But this time, almost This time the rumors are all famous and powerful people in history. It seems that those big figures who should be in historical novels are all getting together to return to the present world."

She said, but there was no doubt from Su Lun.

On the contrary, there was a strong look of anticipation on that heroic face,

A kind of fanatical anticipation eager to learn swordsmanship with the strong.

What a great fortune to be able to fight against a strong man who has disappeared in history!

Su Lun heard something was wrong.

But the whole thing revealed evil, but he didn't know what the problem was.

Could it be that this matter has something to do with Yute Yeji?

No, if you can really control Huang Quanguo, this ability is too exaggerated.

Su Lun thought hard to no avail.

But just as the two were about to walk out of the alley, they were stopped by someone.

Looking up, a blind girl holding a sanxuanqin was standing at the entrance of the alley.

She opened her eyes, looked at Qianjo, and said, "Miss, can I have a word with you?"

Chijo tilted his head, "Oh?"

Su Lun looked at her lifeless eyes like cataracts, her gaze froze, and she suddenly realized something, guessing in her heart: [Talent A-088-Tiantongyan]?

Strange things happened one after another.

Seeing this scene, he was no longer surprised.
