At this time, a younger man from the crowd came out, bowed to Bai Lin and said: "Takeda Akira, the second son of the Takeda family, please show me your superiors. This misunderstanding is all a misunderstanding!"

Bai Lin took a look and found that the second brother had a pretty face and seemed not unreasonable, so he said: "Take me to see the old general's body. If it is a demon that is causing trouble, it will definitely leave traces." The Takeda family is a subordinate of the Genji family.

They have a bad relationship with the On-Yang Lao. The On-Yang Lao took the initiative to investigate the death of Takeda Konyu. It was not the Takeda family who took the initiative to report the case. Therefore, Bai Lin and Seimei had already discussed it on the road. Seimei relied on his status and would not get off the sedan chair. Bai Lin had full authority.

If necessary, Qingming can show off and smooth things over at any time.

Takeda Akira looked at his elder brother who was rubbing his arms and belly. Takeda Kiichi no longer dared to speak, so he nodded towards Bai Lin and led him into the house.

"My father loves swords. He has traveled around and visited famous craftsmen. He has dozens of swords hidden at home and plays with them every day." Takeda Akira said as he walked: "After dinner the day before yesterday, my father went to the room where the swords were hidden alone.

I never came back, so yesterday my brother and I searched everywhere and found that my father had been mutilated..." As he spoke, Takeda Akira's eyes turned red.

Takeda Akira led everyone through several inner doors and came to the shrine in the inner courtyard. A goddess was doing the ritual around a large urn, and many maidens were crying around her.

Takeda Akira didn't do ink, so he sent the nunmaki and the goddess away with a few words, walked to the big urn, opened the lid and said, "My lords, please take a look."

Bai Lin stretched out his head and took a look. Oh my god, there were neatly cut pieces of meat inside. Each piece was two inches square. The smooth edges looked like they were cut with a laser sword in Star Wars.

.

Bai Lin had experienced many battles and had seen many dead people, but this was the first time he had seen such cruel cuts. He just resisted and did not vomit on the spot.

Takeda Akira said with tears in his eyes: "My brother reported it to the general's office yesterday, and the government also sent Wusaku to come. Wusaku said that it was not a human act and it must have been a monster."

Bai Lin nodded and said: "It's not like the sword skills that ordinary swords can perform, it should be using magic... Take me to the place where the trouble occurred!"

Takeda Akira closed the lid sadly, knelt down and bowed three times. Because it involved family secrets, he took Bai Lin to the other end of the house.

A huge underground secret room was actually dug under the Takeda family's house. Akira Takeda and Bai Lin opened several layers of iron gates in the dark. Bai Lin noticed that the iron gates were being moved from the inside out by a huge force.

Some damage was caused, probably caused by the monster escaping. The two of them fumbled for a while before reaching the secret room where the sword was hidden.

Takeda Akira lit the oil lamp in the secret room, and the secret room suddenly lit up. There were more than ten bright bronze mirrors hanging around it, so just lighting a few oil lamps could illuminate the entire room.

At this time, the room was in a mess. It seemed that a master of swordsmanship like the broken monk had smashed the entire room's furnishings into pieces. The open space in the middle seemed to have been slightly cleaned up, and it should be the body of Takeda Chiyu.

There was a lot of black blood on the ground.

There are at least dozens of sword fragments scattered around randomly. Judging from the steel mouth of the fragments, they should be rare and good swords. Although they are not magic weapons, they are extremely rare in this era.

"These are my father's collection, and they were all destroyed..." Takeda Akira said.

Bai Lin carefully walked around in the secret room. There was no clue at first, but when he looked at the traces left by the sword energy, he suddenly thought of the battle with Fujiwara Ippura that day in the waters near the Ryukyu Islands, that powerful sword.

Pip's demon sword, if he hadn't activated the disorder energy, would have had no chance of winning against the opponent's Xianglong Forbidden Slash.

"I wonder if the old general got a magic weapon recently?" Bai Lin asked.

Takeda Akira pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before saying: "At this point, I won't hide anything anymore. My father has indeed obtained a magic weapon. It is the work of Master Tianguo..."

"No offense intended, Tianguo's works may not be easily obtained by the Takeda family..." Bai Lin said.

Takeda Akira gritted his teeth and said: "I hope Bai Dayun will not spread what I said... This sword... This sword was obtained by my father from the palace, and it was a gift from the royal family..."

Bai Lin glanced at Takeda Akira, and said with some fun: "I thought the Takeda family was a sect of the Genji family. It turns out that they have a sworn relationship with Michio Nagasaki..." Michio Nagasaki is the honorific title given to the powerful minister Fujiwara Michiko. He is

The queen's father, the leader of the relatives, and the entire palace is basically his territory.

Takeda Akira's expression was quite ugly. If this matter reached Genji's ears, I'm afraid that not only Takeda Chiyu's death would have been in vain, but the future of the Takeda family might also be over.

Bai Lin shrugged and said: "I am just doing business and will not interfere with the affairs of the court. The second young master can rest assured, but this matter is quite serious. I am afraid that the demon sword has other goals. The Takeda family will still have to restrain the clan members and keep a low profile in the near future.

good."

Takeda Akira nodded vigorously, and the sadness on his brows became even more intense.

Seeing Bai Lin completing the survey so quickly, Qingming couldn't help but be a little surprised. On the way back, the two discussed it. Maybe Bai Lin and Qingming didn't realize that they had only known each other for a day, and they were already like old friends for many years.

Friends have a tacit understanding.

"Demon sword Tianguo Mo? It's actually this sword..." Qingming pondered for a moment.

"Have you heard of it too?" Bai Lin asked through the curtains of the sedan chair while riding on horseback.

"This sword is quite unknown. It is rumored that it has harmed its owner, and several owners have died under the sword." Qingming said.

"I heard that the demon sword turned into a monster because it tasted human blood. Why would it hinder the Lord?" Bai Lin was a little confused. If the magic weapon has a spirit, it should be to cheer for the Lord. If it kills too many people, it can become a monster.

Monsters, there are countless monster swords in the world.

"If it's just two soldiers fighting, or killing an enemy, of course it won't turn into a monster, but the origin of this sword is quite twists and turns." Qingming said: "Master Tianguo got a daughter when he was old, and he regarded him as the apple of his eye. I wanted to

From then on, he closed the furnace and retired to seclusion, no longer making swords, but a famous man came away admiring his reputation and forced Master Tianguo to cast the last sword. Master Tianguo had no choice but to cast it, but when the iron was being smelted, his daughter accidentally fell into the furnace.

The fragrance disappears and the jade dies."

"There is such a thing. It should be that the girl's wronged soul is stored in the demon sword?" Bai Lin asked.

"If it were just an ordinary innocent soul, it would be fine. Master Tianguo was heartbroken when he learned that his young girl died tragically. However, the daimyo used the threat of his clan members to force him to forge the sword. After obtaining the sword, in order to prevent Master Tianguo from killing other daimyo.

Forging weapons, the daimyo killed Master Tianguo's family with his own hands." Qingming's tone was trembling, and it was obvious that he was very angry when he said it again.

Bai Lin seemed to have seen the tragic scene of the innocent girl's soul stored in the demon sword, and the daimyo using himself to kill his relatives one by one. The resentment born from this was enough to give birth to a demon.

"That's it..." Bai Lin sighed.

"Let's go to the left, to Liqiao." Qingming did not continue to talk about this matter, but asked the boy carrying the sedan to change direction.

Bai Lin looked at the sunset, which was gradually setting in the west. The sky was getting darker, and a faint dark atmosphere slowly spread on the streets of Heianjing...
