Chapter 42: Yagyū Secret Scroll
The heavy rain was still falling crazily, and cries could not be heard in Edo City. Many poor people's houses were blown apart by the violent storm. Thatch and straw mats were flying in the air, and the cries and shouts were all the same. It was a scene of extreme despair. .
And Fang Lin's hair was tossed around by the strong wind in the torrential rain, as if it was being dry-cleaned in the real world. He was wet all over and looked extremely embarrassed, but he had no intention of tidying it up. He directly knocked on the door of Yagyu Dojo with a gloomy expression and said nothing. He was introduced by the waiter until he saw Yagyu Jubei who was watching the bamboo and rain in the thatched pavilion in the backyard. He lowered his head and said seriously:
"Lord Yagyu! I'm here to plead guilty!"
Yagyu Jubei stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, and did not look back. However, although he did not make any movement, Yamato Mamoru, the sword at his waist, suddenly jumped half an inch from his waist, revealing a blade that shone with cold light, and clanged again. Slide into the sheath! The sword master looked at the falling bamboo leaves silently, and then said calmly for a while:
"What's up?"
Fang Lin said in a seductive voice:
"I went out of the city to kill monsters a few days ago. I didn't expect to rush in for the sake of success! However, I was led into a tight siege by cunning monsters. At this time, Mr. Bai Mu led three warriors from the dojo to appear. He resolutely broke away, fought fiercely for a long time, and entered. He fought his way out of the monster array dozens of times and finally died from exhaustion!"
Liu Sheng closed his eyes, and suddenly the raindrops and bamboo leaves falling in front of him were all driven by the sharp sword energy! It was smoothly cut into two pieces. You can imagine the heavy anger in the heart of this sword master!
Fang Lin stood aside for a while, waiting for Yagyu's mind to calm down. After a while, he sadly took out the mission item that fell from Shiraki's body: "Yagyu Jubei's Token", walked to Yagyuji, held up his hands Respectfully presented:
"After Mr. Baimu was seriously injured, a bunch of monsters swarmed up. They intended to tear him into pieces and devour him. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I rushed into the formation and tried my best to snatch him out. As a result, my companions also suffered heavy casualties. Unfortunately, it was too late. I have taken one step forward, and there is no way to save my life... I can only return this Yagyu Shininryu token to you according to Shiraki-kun's last wish."
Yagyu took the token and stroked it for a while. The expression in his eyes was extremely complicated. With a slight toss, the token had already transformed into two, two, four, and eight before it even hit the ground... Finally, it scattered into sawdust all over the sky and fell into the running rain on the ground. Fang Lin received the reminder of the nightmare mark:
"You submit the mission item, Yagyu Jubei's token is successful, your reputation in the Justice League +300, Yagyu Jubei's favorability towards you increases. Please select the reward you want to get: 6000 points, potential 6 Click or a random golden item.”
Fang Lin's eyes flickered. This optional reward can be said to take into account both aspects. Conservative people usually choose the first reward, and people who like gambling will definitely choose the second reward. But Fang Lin chose the third reward. -------He directly canceled the two options!
Liu Sheng suddenly raised his head and glanced at Fang Lin sharply. Although the gaze only stayed on his face for a moment, Fang Lin felt as if he had been stabbed by a sharp weapon! Fang Lin suddenly said in a trembling voice with tears streaming down his face:
"Baimu-kun... even though he only had one breath left when he died in my arms, I could see it. There was still regret in his eyes. A warrior's death on the battlefield is a well-deserved death, but I still tried my best. He was trying to save him, hoping to know what Bai Mu-kun had unfulfilled wishes for, but he only said one very strange word, Ba Xiang Fa Po, which was his last words!
Hearing these four words, Yagyu Jubei's facial muscles trembled, and finally he sighed and said:
"The secrets of my sword skills... Bai Mu has basically learned it. But he hasn't been able to get started with the Eight-phase Fapa. Unexpectedly... it was still the thing he couldn't forget before he died."
When Yagyu Jubei said this, he finally became emotional and hit the wooden pillar of the pavilion next to him with a heavy palm, his words filled with sadness.
Fang Lin secretly thought in his heart that before Shiraki died, he either wanted to cut me into pieces or regretted not being the Lord of Edo Castle. He thought of some bullshit sword skills. If I do this, you can turn your grief into strength. . But he still had that very sad expression on his face and said:
"Mr. Baimu died because of me. The monster that killed him was not a small character, but a very powerful general under Luo Jiangshen. It's called the Three Swords Dongguang! Therefore, I ask you to teach me the eight signs. Discover the secret of the earth! I must use the secret technique that Mr. Bai Mu never forgets before his death, to kill that damn monster with my own hands to avenge him!"
The rain kept falling, and the pattering sound was undoubtedly sad and desolate in Yagyu Jubei's ears. But in Fang Lin's ears, it was undoubtedly amplified by the long wait and was infinitely boring. Liu Sheng suddenly said calmly:
"What are you nervous about?"
Fang Lin was shocked. He had indeed shown some nervousness and anxiety inadvertently before, and Yagyu Sheng's words could be said to have profound meaning.
"Did he see something? Or did he not believe what I said at all? He didn't want to show off until now?" Terrible questions jumped out of Fang Lin's suspicious heart uncontrollably. He knew that at such a distance, if Yagyu really wanted to attack him, even a hundred of him would not be enough to kill him, so he could only continue to pretend.
"I'm afraid of being disappointed."
Fang Lin added sadly and nervously:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my lifelong wish to avenge Mr. Bai Mu."
Yagyu Jubei sighed, turned around and slowly walked out of the grass pavilion. It gave people a sinister and heavy feeling, but where he just stood there was someone who didn't know when there was more. A scroll.
With the bamboo axis as the core, it looks very tight and small, but it is actually a long scroll made of silk wrapped tightly together.
Fang Lin bent down and when his fingers touched this thing, he got the reminder of the nightmare mark:
"You have obtained the Yagyu Shinyin-ryu Swordsmanship. The Secret Art (Fragmentary Scroll)."
"A-level item: Yagyu Shinin-ryu swordsmanship. Secret meaning (remnant scroll). This item can only be obtained from members of the Yagyu family. After use, you can ignore the basic training requirements and directly master the skills of Yagyu Shinin-ryu. : The Eight Phase Fa Breaker. If the user has learned the Eight Phase Fa Breaker, it will form various changes according to its own understanding."
Fang Lin picked up the scroll with respect. Although the courtyard was empty, he still bowed politely and said loudly:
"Since the master has taught me the secret technique, I should burn incense and meditate, fast and bathe for three days before studying it carefully. I will not disrespect the secret scroll!"
After saying that, he bowed politely and walked directly into the rain again to leave. Judging from his appearance, he simply regarded the heavy rain as pearls falling from the sky. The other disciples in the dojo were in awe when they saw it, thinking that it was no wonder that this foreigner had such a good conversation with their master. Yagyu liked to dance the sword in the bamboo forest in the snow, and this guy liked to walk in the heavy rain. The two of them really had something in common. Language.
As a result, after walking out of the Yagyu Dojo and turning the corner of the street, Fang Lin immediately sneezed several times. His face turned blue from the cold, and he hurriedly ran to the eaves like a rabbit, wiping his nose and shivering. The craftsman handed over the towel with courtesy, wiped his nose and cursed:
"What the hell, what kind of information is this? I guess Leng was trying to trick me into coming out in the rain... Ah Sneeze! If the uncle hadn't been so quick to adapt to changes... Ah Sneeze! I would have really fallen into his trap, ah ah Ah….ah sneeze!”
This terrible rainstorm finally stopped, and the city of Edo was completely in a tragic scene after being robbed. Of course, there was no summary of the loss of xx billion in gross national product at this time, but in short, it definitely had a negative impact on Edo's economy. blow.
Fang Lin took the opportunity to advise the Lord of Kikuma, saying that this sudden bad storm was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, and was caused by monsters from the dark side. If they were not cleaned up properly, I was afraid that the businesses and residential buildings in Edo would be destroyed. Another huge loss will be suffered. Originally, in Kikujian's heart, the life and death of the untouchables had nothing to do with him, but after Fang Lin made an impassioned speech, Kikujian realized that the quality of the lives of the untouchables was actually related to whether his coffers were full or not. What a great connection. So Kikurama quickly made the decision to raid the surrounding areas of Edo.
The more people there are, the muddier the water will naturally be. Fishing in troubled waters has always been Fang Lin's specialty. In fact, with the lustful recovery aura given by the craftsman, he can already enjoy the special treatment of the healer without doing anything. It's just that he has always been brave enough to charge forward - to be precise, he drove the butcher to charge ahead - so even the other exorcists admired him and secretly admired him. In fact, wherever there is danger, the powerful monster has already been detected by Miss Lin and the others and the information has been sent over. Fang Lin naturally walks through dangers like a catwalk, seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. I will be responsible for the good things and you will be responsible for the bad. It is quite invincible. smell.
