Under the dark mountain, two young men walked along the winding mountain road towards the edge of the city. The dim street lights shone on them, casting long shadows.
"I don't know." Lin Qiye shook his head.
"Then do you know the God of Tianjin and the God of Kunitsu?"
"I know that."
During the training camp, the instructor specifically talked about the Japanese mythology system. Generally speaking, Japanese gods can be divided into two factions: the orthodox gods headed by Amaterasu, who live in Takamagahara, also known as the Tianjin gods; and the indigenous gods headed by Okuninushi, who live on the earth, also known as the Kunitsu gods.
From the very beginning, the Tianjin God who lived in Takamagahara wanted to conquer the human world and provoked wars several times. The two gods continued to fight for a long time. Finally, Amaterasu sent Takemikaze God to the human world, slaughtering people all the way to the foot of the imperial city and conquering the Japanese territory. From then on, Kunitsu God weakened and gradually disappeared from the human world.
"After Kunitsu God was defeated, Okuninushi was unwilling to admit defeat and secretly ordered his subordinates Kunitsu Gods to forge nine swords with divine power. It is said that these nine swords contain the great power of Kunitsu Gods and have the terrifying power to cut open Takamagahara and avenge Kunitsu God."
As Amamiya Haruki spoke, he rubbed the dark blue hilt of the sword at his waist with his palm.
"Before these nine swords were completely forged, Jianyu Thunder God conquered the human world. When Kunitsu God was defeated, the nine divine swords were also lost in the human world and their whereabouts are unknown.
Because they are blades of revenge forged by Kunitsu God and possess extraordinary power, they are regarded as taboo by the Takama-ga-hara gods. The Takama-ga-hara gods preach to the people that these nine swords are a symbol of disaster and that the owners will become extremely unfortunate, so these nine swords are also called the [Kukitsu Nine Swords].
The one in my hand is the fourth of the Nine Swords of Huojin, [Rain Collapse].
Lin Qiye's gaze fell on the enchanting dark blue long sword, and a look of understanding emerged in his eyes.
The source of power is not himself, but this sword. No wonder he is not discovered by the mysterious existence... Think about it from another angle. While possessing terrifying power, can the Nine Swords of Huojin be able to avoid the perception of the mysterious existence?
In an environment where he cannot use the Forbidden Ruins, Lin Qiye's situation is too dangerous. If he can get a Huojin Sword, it means he will have an extra means of self-protection.
"There are nine of these knives in total?" Lin Qiye asked tentatively, "Where are the others?"
Amamiya Haruki glanced at him, seemed to see through his intentions, and shook his head:
"If you want to grab the sword, I advise you to give up the idea. Do you know why your sword can be interrupted by [Daozhai Heart Realm], but mine can't?"
"Why?"
"Because the Nine Swords of Huojin all have sword spirits."
Amemiya Haruki held [Rain Beng] with his left hand and exerted a little force, pushing the handle forward a little, and a hint of deep blue blade was exposed in the air, emitting a faint luster.
At the same time, ripples appeared on the road surface under Amamiya Haruki's feet, as if he was stepping on a puddle of water. The water surface clearly reflected the surrounding environment, and in this reflected mirror world, a figure overlapped with Amamiya Haruki's reflection.
He was a man in white clothes and white hair, holding an old paper umbrella, standing quietly in the rain, with his head lowered, his cold eyes staring at Lin Qiye's eyes through the puddle.
Amamiya Haruki in black kimono and the figure in white clothes and white hair holding an umbrella perfectly overlapped across the water. Each of them looked like the other's shadow, and their eyes were almost exactly the same.
Lin Qiye stood there in a daze.
Amemiya Haruki put [Rain Collapse] back into the sheath, and the reflection of the water under his feet suddenly disappeared. The street lights above his head shone on the asphalt road, emitting a faint yellow light. It seemed that everything that just happened was just an illusion.
"I saw your sword. It has incredible power, but unfortunately... it is dead." Amamiya Haruki's eyes fell on the broken half of [Zhanbai] in Lin Qiye's hand.
"The [Swordsman Heart Realm] of that oracle can inject high-frequency slashes into any object without loss. As long as the weapon is made of material, it will not be able to survive his high-frequency slashes. It is the nemesis of all weapons and is called 'War Disaster'. This is the path to the peak that he is on.
But he couldn't break the Huojin Sword because the sword itself was alive and could digest the blows itself, making it impossible to be interrupted.
Likewise, it cannot be stolen from you. Even if you do, you cannot even unsheathe it without its approval."
Lin Qiye sighed, "Sword Soul..."
It seems that it is not feasible to rob the Huojin Sword. He does not think that he can get the recognition of the sword spirit. After all, he is just a complete outsider.
Now [Zhan Bai] has been interrupted by the oracle, which means that apart from the summoning technique, the only special means he can use has become completely ineffective, and the situation has become worse again.
"If you want to fix it, I know someone." Haruki Amamiya suddenly spoke.
Lin Qiye shook his head, "This is not an ordinary knife."
This is not an ordinary knife, it is an extremely dangerous prohibited item. You can't just glue the blade together with glue and continue to use it... How easy is it to repair it?
"I know." Amamiya Haruki said, "But that man can even repair the Huojin Sword, so it shouldn't be difficult to repair yours."
Lin Qiye glanced at the dark blue sword at his waist and began to think.
After listening to Amemiya Haruki's introduction, he knew that the so-called Huojin Sword was far more advanced than ordinary super-high-risk forbidden objects. It not only possessed astonishing power, but also had its own sword soul. In a sense, it was alive.
If the person he was talking about could really repair the Huojin Sword, it is not impossible for him to repair [Zhanbai].
To be honest, Lin Qiye finds this sword quite handy to use. It would be a pity if he just gave it up like that.
Seeing that Lin Qiye was still hesitating, Amamiya Haruki was silent for a moment before speaking again: "Perhaps, he can still make your sword give birth to a sword spirit."
Hearing this, Lin Qiye raised his head in confusion.
"Give birth to a sword spirit? Isn't it only the Huojin Sword that has a sword spirit?"
"In theory, that's right." Amamiya Haruki continued, "But this is mainly because ordinary swords cannot carry sword souls, but your sword is not an ordinary sword. It comes from outside this country, so it may have the possibility of giving birth to a sword soul... But this is just my speculation. Whether it can give birth to a sword soul or not, we have to wait until that person sees it to know."
Lin Qiye did not rush to answer, he just looked into Amamiya Haruki's eyes quietly.
"Why are you so eager to help me?" he asked puzzledly, "If you just want to cause trouble for the Pure Land, your goal has been achieved."
Amamiya Haruki paused and spoke slowly: "I want to make a deal with you."
