Chapter 1 I'm just a swordsmith
Since decades ago, the guardian daimyo represented by Hosokawa Katsumoto and Yamana Sotsutsuka began a struggle for power without any form. During the Yoshihito Rebellion, the Ming Ying Change, and even the Eternal Rebellion - the 13th Genesis General of the Muromachi Shogunate, who had accepted the guidance of Nobutsu Nobutsu and the two sword saints of Tsuzuhara Furuchi, was "slowly defeated", and the Muromachi Shogunate completely lost its real power, and the era when the heroes who were later called the Warring States Period was completely abandoned.
For later generations in this country, the Warring States Period was a brilliant era. Without the changes of this era, there was no way to talk about the ideological liberation of later generations. But for those living in the Warring States Period, this era was turbulent and uneasy, which was really a bad era in the morning.
but……
This is only for humans.
Another creature living in this era - monsters, have a special liking for this era. The more humans die, the more miserable life, the more monsters are produced. It was the period when the Yuanpinghe War, which was the era when the warriors overthrew the aristocratic era hundreds of years ago, and the period when the famous Four Souls Jade was born was not as brilliant as the time for monsters.
because……
"Since the establishment of the shogunate, no monster has dared to stand in front of these two cities as if no one else. Mr. Samurai, you are actually a monster!" An old monk holding a rosary said to a warrior wearing a hat and carrying a long sword on his back.
Nijo Castle is the residence of the shogun. Although three months ago, after the death of the old Muromachi shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiki, had not had a new owner, which seemed a bit deserted. The monks who helped the human kingdom fight against monsters since the Nara era earlier than the shogunate, basically no longer sat here, but it is still hard to believe that a monster dared to come to the center of this human kingdom.
Especially for the old monk who came here to pay tribute to the general on a whim, it was really surprising.
When the old monk discovered the warrior, the warrior was also silently observing the monk.
The warrior was thinking about the identity of the old monk.
He knows about human clothing, but he doesn't understand how humans add accessories to their clothing to distinguish status.
But with the standard that the more luxurious it is, the more it can show its status, although the old monk's clothes are as simple as monks in color, they seem to be...
Although his understanding of the material of clothing is not as good as his main business, his level of cultivation, even if he only understands the difference between the old monk's clothing, he still shows the extraordinary quality of the material of clothing.
That is a rare spiritual thing.
In this era, there may be only one old monk who can wear clothes made of such spiritual objects in Nijo Castle where the storm of Ashikaga Yoshiki's new demise is gathered.
"Is Honanji Xiru..." Looking at the old monk holding a rosary, the warrior whispered softly.
Only when the Warring States Period was important and confronted Oda Nobunaga for ten years, was also a master of the Shogunate Monk Masashi, the Honju Temple sect of the Pure Land Monk Sect, had the power to subdue demons and was not afraid of ordinary soldiers, could he have the ability and interest in coming to this place where Yoshihiro Ashikaga Yoshihiro's soul-breaking place.
Other daimyos are still too busy fighting for power and will not have any interest in a dead Ashikaga Yoshiki. Other monks, even if they have great magic power, are generally unwilling to get involved in the vortex of power. As for those with insufficient status and low magic power, they do not have the ability to come to these two Castles.
The whisper of the warrior did not escape the old monk's ears.
"Oh... As a monster, you actually know the old monk?" Honanji Masaru looked surprised.
The warrior did not sarcastically at these words that seemed to despise the samurai's mind.
Of course he knew why Honanji Xiru was surprised.
Nine out of ten monsters are stupid, and one is a fool. This is the consensus of this era.
Most people and even most mages have never seen a brained monster in their lifetime. They can lead apprentices like his teacher, and have brought two more, which is rare.
So he didn't care about Honganji Masaru's surprise at all.
"Hissergeant Quan Sengzheng, even monsters must have some understanding of their colleagues. After all, they are under the command of the general." The warrior unfolded a slightly yellowed paper to Xianru with a look of indifference.
The most conspicuous thing on the paper is a line of words written in regular script brought back from the mainland by the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.
The line of words gave the honorary official position of "can ascend to guard" in front of him.
There is also a self-written signature by Ashikaga Yoshihide.
Well, Honanji Masaru certainly knew the handwritten signature of the late 13th Muromachi shogun Ashikaga Yoshihiro.
He signed the same signature from the letter of appointment that Ashikaga Yoshihide was about to come.
This monster is actually a real shogunate official? He is actually a theoretical colleague...
The world is declining!
Honanji Shinji shook his head secretly, completely ignoring that he was one of the initiators of the "worldly winds are falling".
However, although he was surprised, he did not intend to let the monster in front of him go as he was his theoretical colleague.
Although as a great name, his fame and fortune have surpassed his Buddhist practice as the master of the temple sect of the True Sect of Pure Land, in the face of monsters, he still has to do the most common things the monks on the land do—
Send him to become a Buddha.
In particular, Ashikaga Yoshiki died and stopped causing any trouble because of this monster.
"Your Excellency General is dead. No matter what agreement he reached with you during his lifetime, as a monster, you can only desire the blood and flesh of the general. As a monk, I cannot allow it." Honanji Xiru calmly declared.
"Rebirth, monster!"
It originated from the Pure Land Sect in the Mainland. It was copied by the Lotus Sutra by Master Shinluan, the main sect of the Benyuan Temple sect hundreds of years ago, and was copied by Master Shinluan, the first ancestor of the Pure Land True Sect, like a dragon shooting, and sang warriors from all directions. Once entangled, ordinary monsters immediately became Buddhas, and even big monsters would suffer in great pain.
Honganji Masaru did not think that the big monsters, who were like the name of the monsters, were interested in talking about cooperation with Ashikaga Yoshihiro. He was very clear about how proud the big monsters were, especially the one in the Western Kingdom, who always sat upright in the nine heavens, watching the blooming and falling of the world like a god. Although Ashikaga Yoshihiro was called the general of the Sword Master, the level of the Sword Master was not enough to let the big monsters see it. The Muromachi Shogunate's loss of power was clearly seen by almost everyone, and it was impossible for the big monsters to be regarded by them.
Those who are willing to cooperate with Ashikaga Yoshihiro are at most the level of the purgatory ghost sealed by the Kanquan fifty years ago, and they are not taken seriously by Hongan Temple Masaru.
Amitabha. This blow is enough.
While Honanji Masaru took action, he even prepared to save this monster samurai called "Se" and even prepared to save the samurai.
only……
"The sword moves smartly, the sword is heavy and strong, and the big clumsy is back to the point of being pure. One sword is enough. One sword is gone!"
Facing the dragon-like scripture, the warrior was calm and suddenly pulled out the long sword behind his back and cut it open with one knife!
Big monster?!
Seeing that the samurai cut off his magic so easily, Honanji Masaru was shocked.
"Who are you..."
