Chapter 839: War Ashes: 8 Banners to Protect the Body

boom!

The deer antler hat on Honda Tadakatsu's head was blown open by Tsurumi Aoi's spear, and the black deer antler decoration on the left side was broken.

As the Star Hoop fell to the ground, one could smell a faint and elegant fragrance emanating from it; it was the scent of sandalwood.

The samurai of old Japan had a pre-war custom that sounded a bit strange.

Before going into battle, the helmet must be fumigated.

In this way, if a warrior is unfortunately killed and beheaded by the enemy on the battlefield, the enemy who cuts off the warrior's head will be able to smell a pleasant fragrance from the helmet.

Therefore, this move can be regarded as a respect for the enemy.

At the same time, like reciting a haiku before going into battle, it was considered an elegant act.

But if you think about it realistically, the helmet of a warrior who was beheaded on the battlefield would have a mixture of sweat and blood odor. Even if it was fumigated in advance, it would definitely not smell good.

However, since we are now in a dream led by Honda Tadakatsu, in this dream, even Tonkiri can "take out" two swords. After being exploded by Tsurumi, the smell that came out of the antler pocket was naturally elegant.

Looking at the folded star bag that had fallen to the ground, Honda Tadakatsu shook his head in self-mockery: "I never thought that my helmet fragrance would be picked by a little kid."

Although Tadakatsu managed to save his head from Tsurumi's last desperate attack, it was the first time for this "Eastern Warrior" that his helmet was knocked off by the enemy and a shocking deep wound was left on his face.

Although, in the end, Honda Tadakatsu won by piercing Tsurumi's chest with a spear, it was definitely a very embarrassing victory for him.

You know, he was invincible in his lifetime and had never been injured.

In the end, this indestructible golden body was actually pierced by Tsurumi's spear.

Am I getting old after all?

Moreover, the young are to be feared.

This little girl has only just learned how to use a gun. If she is allowed to practice for another three to five years, maybe it won't take that long. As long as her gun control skills can be more proficient and her hand holding the gun can be steadier at the last moment...

The outcome of the battle just now was that both sides died.

Because they were fighting in a dream, after the battle, the wound on Honda Tadakatsu's face and the fatal wound on Tsurumi Aoi's chest all disappeared.

Honda Tadakatsu bent down and picked up the black deer antler bag on the ground, then looked at his temporary student.

As their eyes met, Tsurumi bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your guidance."

She treated Honda Tadakatsu with respect, and did not feel unconvinced after losing the second round. Instead, she looked more regretful.

Honda Tadakatsu: …

It seems that this little kid really wants to shoot himself in the head.

But... as a warrior, I can understand it.

"Little kid, you did very well. We had a great time fighting this time. I don't have time to stay any longer, so take care of yourself." Honda Tadakatsu said to Tsurumi. Because he had lost his helmet and the pair of deer antlers on his head, he looked even shorter and more hunched than before.

At this time, Shikanoya in the observation area finally got instructions from his master and trotted over to the two of them.

"Xiao Kui, we were just a little bit away from a tie. Really just a little bit away. We've only just started learning how to use a spear, and you're already very good!"

The young sister first patted Tsurumi on the shoulder to encourage him, but at the same time she did not get too carried away and did not forget to respect the elderly. She quickly bowed properly to Honda Tadakatsu who was standing beside her to express her gratitude.

No matter what, since Mr. Honda is so enthusiastic in teaching his skills to my junior sister, I have to thank him very much.

the other side--

The Dream-Eating Tapir glanced at the dream that had become unstable, and whispered to Kamiya Kawa: "Master, Honda Tadakatsu is about to pass away, and Aoi is about to wake up. Although I can reinforce this place and keep Honda Tadakatsu for a while longer to maximize his value to us. But doing so may cause irreversible damage to his soul."

"We can just go out directly."

Although Kamiya was willing to take advantage of others, he still couldn't do such a thing as exploiting a friendly individual.

Therefore, there is no need to squeeze out the last remaining value of Honda Tadakatsu any further, and let him rest in peace.

Kamiyagawa is still quite a human being when he should be one.

He called the deer back to his side, and at the same time thanked Honda Tadakatsu who was beginning to disappear. Then, the tapir emitted a soft dreamlike rainbow light, slowly peeling away the empty scene around it, and when the environment stabilized again, it was the familiar living room of the Kamiya family again.

……

"Aoi, how do you feel?"

After a dream ended, everyone was most concerned about Tsurumi's condition.

Tsurumi's head left the tapir's smooth and plump thighs, and he looked a little dazed: "I feel a little dizzy, and it seems that there are some skills and knowledge in my head that don't belong to me."

It seems that before leaving, Honda Tadakatsu did his best to pass on some knowledge of gun-using skills to Tsurumi.

This Kamiya River is very familiar.

In his early years, when he first learned the Jikenryu sword technique from Sensei Akagi, and when he also learned the Yulingjutsu, the situation was similar.

Direct initiation.

Moreover, Tsurumi had just experienced a unique "one-on-one tutoring by a famous teacher". The duel in the dream would definitely be of great help to her in digesting the knowledge of gun skills in her mind.

"Dizziness is normal."

Seeing that his little disciple was fine, Kamiyagawa looked around.

He had already sensed that the living room at home had changed a little compared to before.

The wooden carving of a dragonfly has disappeared.

Where the wood carving originally stood was a small pile of fine ashes and a spearhead that was about 60 centimeters long, looked old and dim.

This should be Honda Tadakatsu’s final gift.

Even without getting his hands on them directly, Kamiya could roughly guess what they were.

"It's so generous."

As far as I can remember, Honda Tadakatsu's tomb seems to be in Jodo-ji Temple in Mie Prefecture?

Although Tadakatsu has passed away peacefully, when you have time you should take Aoi with you to sweep the grave and pay your respects, otherwise it would be a bit regretful.

However, one thing is another. Since the other party gave it generously, Kamiya Kawa naturally accepted it generously.

At present, the skeleton of Shiken God has not been absorbed by any demons or gods. Although the final inventory of related rewards has been emptied by Kamiya, some basic functions of "Kwaidan Monogatari" can still operate normally.

This is similar to Wu's technique of using "supernatural programming" to enable some extraordinary props to operate independently.

The existing functions of "Kwaidan Monogatari" naturally include an "identification system" that can know the functions of valuable items and some of their past experiences.

[Obtain the Battle Ash·Yaman Yushin!]

[Yawata Yushin: The ashes left by Honda Tadakatsu, a powerful general of the Eastern Kingdom during the Warring States Period. He has extremely strong damage reduction and self-healing abilities.]

[Honda Tadakatsu followed Tokugawa Ieyasu when he was young. He fought all his life and was victorious without ever being injured. Tadakatsu learned martial arts at Myoenji Temple when he was young and was a Buddhist. Therefore, people called him the incarnation of Hachiman Bodhisattva. Whenever he was on the battlefield, he seemed to be blessed by God.]

The ashes of Honda Tadakatsu.

For a hero of this level, there must be some ashes left.

As for the so-called "Hachiman Yushin", it was probably the last move that Honda Tadakatsu used in the fight between him and Aoi in the dream just now.

A majestic white shadow of Buddha nature enveloped his entire body and continuously chanted Sanskrit.

Kamiya estimated that Honda Tadakatsu must have known this trick when he was alive.

In this world where legendary warriors can slay great demons, this is not something to be surprised about.

"So, this is why Honda Tadakatsu has fought in many battles but has never been injured?"

I don't know whether the "divine blessing" ability of this East Country Unparalleled really originated from Hachiman Daiboshi.

Hachiman Daiboshi is a war god highly respected by Japanese samurai.

However, the belief system of this deity is itself a product of the deep integration of Shintoism and Buddhism. This can be seen from the fact that Hachiman Daibosatsu is also known as "Hachiman Daimyojin" in Shintoism.

Therefore, it remains to be seen whether Izumo has really fused this god.

Even if Hachiman Daibosatsu really existed, there is a high probability that he is no longer with most of the old gods having fallen.

Combined with the battle in the dream just now, Honda Tadakatsu's blessed white shadow was instantly pierced by Aoi's Tombstone sword blessed by Mary.

In other words, although Aoi lost the battle by one move, but——

I have an announcement to make: Mary did not lose!

After all, compared to Hachiman Bodhisattva, Mary, the Valkyrie of Fortune who also incorporates some Buddhism and Taoism, really exists.

[Obtain the item, Dragonfly Cutting Spear Head!]

[Tomokiri spear head: Tomokiri is one of the three famous spears along with Nihon-go and Mitsu-te. It was owned by Honda Tadakatsu, a famous general in the Warring States Period. It was originally a large, heavy and powerful spear, but in the Battle of Osaka, Honda Tadatomo, Tadakatsu's second son who inherited his father's business, died in battle while holding this spear, and the spear was destroyed.]

[By that time, Honda Tadakatsu, whose soul had not yet returned to the Sanzu River, was still in the world, and he felt something, so he picked up the Tonokiri spear head again on the battlefield, and it has been preserved with his soul to this day.]

"It is indeed the tip of Tombokiri's spear."

The three famous spears of Japan, Tonokiri, Nihonkō and Mikutei, are all large spears. Their fates are the same. Now they have all been destroyed or lost, with only imitations left.

As for the experience of looking at Tonomakiri, it seems that after the Battle of Osaka, it was picked up by the ghost of Honda Tadakatsu who was still wandering on earth at that time.

Although the gun barrel was completely destroyed, the gun tip was still there.

"Take this gun head to Jue to have it repaired, and then make a new gun body. It should not be difficult to reproduce the former glory of this famous gun." Kamiyagawa thought.

Sister Jue's divine craftsmanship is inherited from Kinzan Bikoshin and Tianjin Mara, so it's absolutely easy for her to make a human weapon.

Even the Tonomakiri made by her own hands must be stronger than the original one!

If you want to pursue the original appearance, you can also let the tapir take some time to walk around to Jue and show Jue the dragonfly cut in the dream just now.

As for the length of the Tonkiri spear, it is rumored that it is a six-meter long spear, but the two Tonkiri seen in the dream at different times were about three meters and four meters respectively.

In history, there were indeed six-meter-long spears.

However, this type of gun is basically used by large-scale combat troops in open terrain. Special spearmen of a certain scale line up in formation, raise their guns high and smash down in unison, with considerable lethality.

In addition, some warriors who are very good at using spears will use this extremely long spear in horseback fighting. With the help of the horse's momentum, the power of the long-pole spear is also very amazing.

But the newly created Tonomakiri is definitely for Tsurumi.

The young apprentice's need for using weapons is to fight against spirits.

Exorcism battles are not always conducted in completely open areas; they may take place in alleys or even indoors, involving many complex terrains. If the gun barrel is too long, it will be a hindrance and will not be able to be used effectively.

As for horse battles, Aoi doesn't have a mount.

You can't let her fight on a small sleeve.

And if I really ride on Xiaoxiushou, Xiaoxiushou shouldn't be able to run fast... right?

do not know.

untested.

Anyway, I feel that the length of the Tonokiri should be between three and four meters, but the details should be discussed between Aoi and Jue, and Kamiya Gawa does not intend to interfere too much.

……

"Teacher, I feel better." While Kamiya River was collecting and identifying the war ash and Tonkiri, Tsurumi had recovered from the brief daze from learning the skills. "I want to try practicing with a spear, right now."

The young apprentice was obviously still in high spirits, his hands were hot.

"We don't have that kind of big gun at home, but... let's contact the Countermeasures Office. They should be able to get one in a short time for you to practice with."

Seeing that his apprentice was so enthusiastic about learning spear, Kamiya Kawa was very supportive.

Even though Tsurumi learned katana from him, there is no ancestral method that cannot be changed.

It is always good to have many skills, and learning one more skill is definitely a good thing.

The principle that an inch longer is an inch stronger is never wrong.

Miyamoto Musashi, who was famous for his dual swords, defeated Sasaki Kojiro by paddling a boat.

In addition, Aoi learned the spear skills from Honda Tadakatsu, which was also beneficial to Kamiyagawa.

When the young disciple becomes proficient in spearmanship in the future, if Kamiya suddenly wants to learn how to use a long weapon, he can ask Aoi for advice.

He was never ashamed to learn from others. For example, he learned the Shinto-ryu double-sword technique from his subordinate, Inao.

So, if the apprentice has learned it, it is roughly equivalent to the master having learned it too!

Moreover, from the perspective of the little apprentice's personal development, the last two gifts left by Honda Tadakatsu are both very suitable for her.

Needless to say, there is no need to explain much about Tomboseki.

Honda Tadakatsu's War Gray is definitely a perfect match for Tombstone.

Looking at the specific functional description of "Hachiman Yushin", its functions are damage reduction and self-healing.

Looking ahead to Aoi's upcoming equipment library, it will be filled with buffs——

In terms of physical strength, energy and vitality, there is the blessing of Mary and Ichimonji's "Red Demon"; Smiling Aoki provides excellent mobility and certain defensive means; Yingmaru is a long-range attack and a certain degree of treatment.

Now I have also reserved Tonkiri, a long-handled weapon combined with the powerful damage reduction and self-healing of "Hachiman Yushin".

Then wouldn't Aoi just step on his right foot with his left foot on the battlefield, with infinite endurance, able to fight all day long?

Very good, a very reasonable arsenal combination!

The plan of making all kinds of weapons is really feasible. I can already see a bright future for my little apprentice. (End of this chapter)
