Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 263 262.Xianyun

The venue where an encirclement and suppression meeting was held just now is actually a relatively high platform.

From that platform, people can even look down at the roofs of the buildings next to them.

This state is very common in Ashina, a place with obvious height differences.

The main goal of the three of them now is to kill all the way to the Sanjusangendo Hall - Rengeoin Temple, which is located in the deepest part of Senboji Temple.

The location of Kurokasa no Tanuki's signal whistle is also on the road.

When the three of them arrived at the location guided by the signal, they understood at first glance why the Kurokasa no Raccoon had lost contact during the encirclement and suppression.

Outside a Buddhist hall with the door half open, a short winter melon-like ninja sat slumped at the door.

Although the blood flow stopped after taking Ashina's specialty pills, the blood stains that had solidified on the body surface were shocking enough.

His body was covered with ferocious cuts with sharp weapons, which were fine and ferocious.

Lan En rushed to his side with a little haste, squatted down, and frowned at the ninja.

"how are you feeling?"

Although he has been determined to be a villain who abducts children, it always makes people feel a little moved when a person puts his life on the line to atone for his sins.

The black iron hat hung weakly, and he waved his numb arms.

"There's nothing to worry about. I took the pills and the skin injury will heal quickly."

His voice didn't sound like there was nothing to worry about. He was weak, and even had an uncontrollable drawl at the end of his speech.

"This kind of scar is an iron claw?"

"Yes, it's Iron Claw."

The Kurokasa no Raccoon raised his head with difficulty and smiled at the witcher.

"Although it took some effort, I finally found your 'friend'."

Is he going to find Kotaro?

Lan En opened his mouth slightly, unable to speak for a long time.

"I didn't ask you"

"Yeah, you didn't ask for it." Kuroka no Raccoon nodded. "But no one asked you to come to Xianfeng Temple, right?"

"It's really strange. I don't know why. Maybe it's out of atonement or compensation? In short, seeing you like this makes me want to help you, even if it's just a small favor."

"To be honest." Kurokasa no Raccoon smiled bitterly and pointed at himself, "A ninja like me can only help you with this little favor."

"Okay, you go and see him for the last time. Just treat it as a farewell so you can remember what I told you, 'he is just a shell suffering from pain now'."

"Be decisive, Lan En."

As he said that, the skinny and numb palm of Kurokasa no Raccoon's hand gently patted Lan En's arm.

The demon hunter looked steadily at the deformed man under the black iron hat, nodded without saying a word, got up and walked towards the half-open wooden door.

Looking at Lan En's back slowly sinking into the darkness, Ashina Isshin was not nervous. On the contrary, he was a little curious about Kuroka.

"The former abductor turned into what he is today. Experience is really a magical thing."

Underneath the tengu face, the old man had a smile on his lips.

The Kurokasa no Raccoon nodded feebly.

"When people see a glorious character, they can't help but yearn for it. They want to get close and want to protect it. This time, I am impulsive, right? Haha, I am really not a qualified ninja."

Ashina Yishin did not laugh along with his self-mockery, but just looked at the darkness in the Buddhist hall and said faintly.

"Being influenced by emotions is indeed not a good ninja. But now, you have become a 'human' again, Kurokasa."

Not to mention the conversation outside the temple, when Lan En walked in, the first thing he saw was a few strange 'human' corpses.

They are said to be 'human beings', but the bones and muscles of these guys have been completely and roughly transformed into limb-moving patterns.

The whole body is covered with bandages, and there are two rows of iron hooks on the back like centipede tentacles that look like ribs exploding outward.

It felt like, 'The bandage is just to hold this patchwork of flesh and blood so that they don't fall apart.'

On their hands and feet, there are several long iron claws tied, or embedded in the flesh.

It looks like an artificial centipede.

Hundreds of feet.

Lan En could easily connect and compare the images of these things with Kuroli's information.

These centipedes are all dead.

Apparently, they died from Kurokasa's aerial ninja kill. In other words, their back was turned into a weak point by their moving posture on all fours.

There were a lot of black burn marks on the ground. Kuroli didn't have such props. It seemed that Baizu could breathe fire.

The Buddhist hall has two rooms, an inner one and an inner one. If you look through the gap in the wooden door, you can see a huge fire burning inside the fence.

In Japanese Buddhist terminology, it is called "Homa".

The ashes produced are called "Ashes of Goma" and are said to be able to ward off evil spirits.

Next to Gomo, a centipede that was obviously larger than the dead centipedes on the ground was wandering around unconsciously.

Although his face was bandaged, his eyes were nervously protruding from his sockets, and his overall body shape had changed dramatically, Lan En could still recognize that it was Kotaro's face.

Now it’s time to call him ‘Xianyun’, a name that was temporarily changed in order to accurately seek the protection of his natal star.

Thanks to Kurokasa no Tanuki's repeated reminders, Lan En did not delay for too long because of Kotaro's appearance.

He quietly drew his katana, and the ninja's [Silent Breath Holding Technique] made him unable to make a sound even though he was wearing heavy armor and was operating in stealth mode.

There was no sound of wind, no breathing, and no hesitation.

If Kotaro stood up at this time, he would probably reach two meters and three meters.

He had always wanted to have a big body.

Lan En suddenly grabbed his hind legs from behind. The huge force and suddenness prevented Kotaro from even making any effective struggle.

He immediately lost his balance and was dragged directly in front of Lan En.

The vertical knife penetrated into the heart, and blood spurted out from the narrow edge.

"Pfft!"

It can be seen that Kotaro, who has become a centipede, is affected by the power of immortality. After being stabbed through the heart, he recovered almost in the blink of an eye.

The limbs embedded with iron claws clawed at the floor, and the wooden floor was scratched with hideous and messy scratches.

But Lan En, who had already taken advantage of his position, and also had advantages in strength and weight, did not give up his advantageous position.

He exerted force under his feet, and Kotaro's body, which had been slightly propped up with his limbs, was pushed down again with a "bang" sound.

The pitted knife did not stop. After it was pulled out of the heart, it left a white mark of the air blade in mid-air.

"Crack!"

Kotaro was beheaded.

He was beheaded neatly by his former group leader and former friend.

It's like the kind of fault that samurai pursue most.

The bandaged head rolled away, and the corpse at his feet quickly became limp and weak after nervous twitching.

Lan En pursed his lips and wiped the blood from the knife. Just as he shook his head and was about to leave, he suddenly turned back and pulled something out of the bandage on Kotaro's chest.

There seems to be a rule in the Star Puja ceremony to write down the prayer contents and put them on your body.

Under the illumination of the fire of Homo, Lan En looked at the thing in his hand.

A piece of cloth with crooked handwriting. It can be seen that the person who wrote does not know how to write at all, and just copied what others have written. Only handwriting shows sincerity.

"Bless my mother to be happy in her rebirth, and bless me to protect Lord Lan En from illness and disaster."

This is Kotaro's prayer before the puja.

He not only prepared to recite a few words for Lan En, he also wrote the prayers into the clothes he would wear during the ceremony.

There is also a note.

It seems that because I am afraid that people will be forgetful and not pay attention to it, I wrote several sentences in a row.

"When you go back, you must remember to chant sutras and pray for blessings. After you go back, you must remember to chant sutras and pray for blessings."

This is the memo written by Taro Bing, who doesn't know his name yet, to himself.

The two people who received Lan En's help never took their commitment to Lan En at heart.

Even if Lan En refuses and doesn't care, they still have to fulfill their promise on their own.

The demon hunter nodded calmly and threw the note and cloth into the Goma Fire in front of him.

The materialist clasped his hands in front of the fire and closed his eyes.

"Buddha bless you, may you be reborn in bliss, and then"

Then Lan En pulled out the knife. The knuckles holding the knife were so hard that they turned white.

They will fight all the way to Sanjusangendo Hall, and then chop up the Immortal Peak Master and his insects in front of the thousand Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara statues!
