On the bank of Suna Mountain, there is a sea of green trees.
There was a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and the bare trees were covered with thick snowflakes, so many branches broke under the load and fell to the ground along with the snowflakes, making a dull sound.
'Haaah, 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 a branch three fingers thick. The extremely blunt bamboo sword actually split the branch in half; it chopped on a wooden block as thick as the mouth of a bowl. , can also make a dent in the wooden block, which shows the strength of Chiba Makoto's swing of the bamboo sword.
Ida Jingryu, who was wearing a patrol uniform, stood aside and looked at Chiba Makoto who was showing off his swordsmanship. His expression did not change much, but he was extremely surprised in his heart. How long had he been practicing? He had reached the level in less than two months. At that time, I had only been at the level for two years.
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 destroy the demon Bi Xiumei on his behalf. Well, this way the master will not be gone forever, causing the sect to be torn apart.
only...
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 conspicuous in the ice and snow, and the surrounding snow was Inside, there are cut branches and chopped wood everywhere. If you clean them up, they can be used as firewood. What Ida Jinglong teaches is not just a show. Every move is aimed at killing the enemy.
This time, Ida Jingryu didn't 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. Regardless of strength, speed or fighting skills, they were all the same as when they first met. , worlds apart, I have never seen a 'person' with such a strong talent.
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 is 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. "
Only then did Chiba Makoto understand why Obi was seeking death and making 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 Obi There is no room for survival anymore.
"Is there any way to get the Earthbound Spirit to 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 homeland, it is better than being wiped out.
"Well, there is indeed a way." Ida Iryu's words gave Chiba Makoto hope, with a look of expectation on his face, but he was immediately hit the bottom by Ida Iryu's words: "Let it become a Buddha. "
"Huh?" Chiba Makoto was almost thrown away by Ida Iryu's naughty words. What about 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 disturb the order of the world. Sending it to become a Buddha is also to free it."
"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 eliminate Obik. poor guy.
Chiba Makoto's words made Ida Iryu's expression become even more ugly, and he suddenly shouted: "You're so naive."
"Huh?" Chiba Cheng was stunned and looked at the furious Ida Iryu. Since I met him, I have never seen Ida Iryu get angry. This... what words he just said touched him. Any pain points?
Ida Iryu glared at Chiba Makoto and said in an extremely stern tone: "Those demons and monsters 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 The wanton massacre of unprotected villages.
Remember, you are not fighting for yourself alone. Once you are defeated because of temporary pity, not only your life will be ruined, but those you protect will also suffer misfortune. By then it will be too late to regret it. . "
Ida Iryu thought about the tragedies he had seen more than once in the past. The ruined village was full of broken limbs, and the demon hunters sent to protect the village might only be left with bitten and shabby remains, or even a piece of corpse. A relic.
Chiba 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 aliens like Obik who have no ill intentions and just want to live on 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 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 and he almost fell to the ground. A gentle woman appeared in front of him, shouting at him with tearful eyes. : "Are you humans all 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... okay, I'm a little tired. Well, that’s it for today.”
With that said, he turned around and walked towards the police bicycle, opened the white iron box, took out a book from it, threw it at Chiba Cheng, and said without looking back: "These are some of my humble opinions on monsters and monsters. You Take it back and have a look. I also recently received a notice from my superiors that several cars drove into the Aoki 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 Take a look around that area, maybe there are some evil spirits at work."
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
"Yes!" Ida Jingryu then confidently rode on 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 see what was there. There are no anomalies.
