I teach kendo in Tokyo

"You, you consume too much demon power?" Tamamo's words contained so much information that even Kazuma was stunned for a moment before he could react. "Wait a minute, you mean to say that Sunny is a monster!?"

"Well, actually there are many kinds of monsters." The big demon fox narrowed his eyes and protracted his tone as if he was deliberately trying to seduce everyone.

"Roughly speaking, non-human beings evolved from birds and beasts are considered 'monsters', and the smelly catfish is a miscellaneous fish among the monsters. Different from demons, elves performed by stone and wooden artifacts are considered 'monsters' , this is the case with intermittent sunshine and rain.”

"Sounds reasonable, but can a Japanese sword turn into a monster?"

"Of course, you know about the 'Official God', right? Objects that have been used for many years will be endowed with spirituality, and then become spirits that can jump and jump. This kind of monster is Seiyu Seimei." Tamamo said with a snap of her fingers. A name often heard in Japanese folklore, looking at Kazuma with a smile. "But it's really rare for a weapon to become a possessed god. Do you know why?"

"...I don't know?" Kazuma thought for a while and found that he had no clue, so he simply shook his head.

"It's very simple. Only if an object is used for many years will it have the chance to become possessed by a god. However, for weapons, the more often they are used, the more likely they are to be damaged. As a result, most of the time, they will not wait for the spiritual awakening. It has been severely damaged and re-refined, and then there is no more..." Tamamo said and spread her hands.

"I see..." Kazuma nodded thoughtfully. Although Japanese knives are known for their sharpness, they are also surprisingly fragile. If you really want to fight on the battlefield, it is normal to cut off several knives in one battle.

Therefore, when Japanese samurai went into battle to kill the enemy in ancient times, they even had attendants to help him carry a dozen prepared swords. Calculated based on such a loss rate, it is indeed difficult for Japanese swords to evolve into the Susei God.

"But, there are many historical weapons? For example, there are many famous swords and daimyo armors in the Tokyo Museum. Are those also the gods of mourning?" Chiyoko raised her hand to ask. This question was probably everyone's doubt.

"It is wiped spotlessly and placed in a glass display cabinet, and it is not even popular all year round. No matter how long it is kept, such an object is just a mortal object, and it is impossible to awaken spiritual wisdom." Tamamo waved her hand disapprovingly, squinting and looking at The Japanese sword in Qing Liu's arms. "Only those like Seiyu Seiyu who have truly survived the years of training and are lucky enough to survive can have the opportunity to evolve into a mourning god... Judging from Seiryu's description, its original quality may not have been low. Oh? It’s just that the mysterious side has declined at the same rate since modern times. Like this time, I’m afraid it can only exert such power in the land of constant darkness, right?”

"...In other words, what Seiryu said is true? He wields a sword through the air, and there is also lightning wrapped around the sword?" Chiyoko carefully confirmed.

"Of course." Tamamo nodded with a smile.

"Well, if the true form of Suanshi Qingyu is a mourning god, that means..." Kazuma turned to look at the corner of the dojo, looking longingly at the sword stand where Masamune and Murasame were placed, his face full of childish expressions Such longing.

"It's different. It's fundamentally different from the Seiyu who awakened the day after tomorrow. Masamune and Murasame were spiritual when they were created. You feel the difference when you use them yourself, right?" Tamamo shook her head with a wry smile, and cruelly cut off the relationship between Thoughts of the horse. "Besides, there are only a few Japanese swords that have a kamikaze, and a kamikaze has its own characteristics. Even if you can find other samurai swords, you may not be able to use them like Sekiki Harame!"

"But, that's the sword-driving skill from across the air!? The legendary sword-driving skill! If I could find a way to recreate it..." Kazuma's eyes shone.

The art of wielding a sword and flying into the sky with a sword can be described as the ultimate romance of a swordsman. Although the world before time travel only existed as a fantasy in Xianxia novels, in this dimension where mystery and science intersect, there might actually be a chance to come true! ?

"Seiryu Seiryu, can I trade Masamune for your Seiryu? Or Muramasa, too!" Kazuma looked at Seiryu diligently.

"I won't change!" Seiryu hugged Suanshi Qingyu tightly, with a look on her face that said, "If you want to move Suanshi Qingyu, you will step over my body."

"It should like you very much. It consumes a lot of money to protect you. It probably takes a long time to recover..." Tamamo picked up the barley tea and looked at the loving swordsman and the mourning sword with tender eyes, and then shook her head. Take back your opinion. "No, it might not take too long, maybe."

"Huh? Why is this?" Kazuma scratched his head and asked, barely pulling his thoughts away from the swordsmanship.

"...I have to ask you, my master." Tamamo looked up at Kazuma, with an unconcealable bitter smile on his lips. "Since ancient times, the Land of Eternal Darkness has been the domain of monsters. Very few ordinary people can survive after entering. As for those who have the strength to break through the Eternal Darkness Realm and defeat the Landlord God, they are almost all heroes and celebrities who will go down in history... Or should I congratulate you first, Great Swordsman? Now, outside the Yakuza, the legend of the 'Dragon of Kanto' has finally been left behind even in the mysterious side."

"Uh..." Kazuma scratched his cheek. The content of Tamamo's words seemed like a compliment, but the tone was completely different from that.

"Sorry, I'm not blaming you." As if aware that he had overdone it, Tamamo shook her head and slowed down her tone.

"For swordsmen who are determined to slay demons and protect the way, breaking through the realm of constant darkness is a great thing, but... such a noble god-controlling body, why would you directly bring it back and enshrine it in the dojo?"

"Well, I thought about it and couldn't just leave it on the roadside, so I had to move it back and put it away... Isn't it appropriate?" Cold sweat broke out on Kazuma's forehead.

At that time, he moved the Ksitigarbha statue back to the dojo and placed it there, as if by some miraculous error. Looking back now, it is indeed difficult to call it a rational judgment. But what was moved back was a Buddha statue after all, so there shouldn't be any bad effects.

"It's not a question of whether it's suitable or not." Tamamo frowned, as if thinking about how to explain it better, and then spoke after a moment. "The Kiryu Dojo was originally an ancient building with a long history, and this cherry blossom tree has a very deep connection with this place. Even I, the Great Youkai, live in the dojo. In this case, I enshrine a Jizo statue that is ordinary and always dark. The divine body... gathers so many origins, do you know what this will bring?"

"Uh, what will it bring?" He Ma Moming became nervous.

"This Kiryu Dojo has probably been separated from the society ruled by civilized laws. It can be regarded as a place of constant darkness."

"Yeah?" Really? Isn't the Land of Eternal Darkness a land even rarer than uranium-235?

Facing the surprised looks from everyone, Tamamo didn't explain anymore, but picked up the soju prepared for the banquet next to him, took a sip, then raised his head and blew out a stream of flames.

The flame was a strange fox fire with blue and white flames. It did not dissipate after being ejected from Tamamo's mouth. Instead, it hung in the air and gathered bigger and bigger like a balloon. In a few breaths, it expanded to a size larger than a tea table on the ground.

The green flame fireball emitted terrifying heat that almost stung the skin in mid-air, causing waves of exclamations.

Just when Kazuma wanted to tell the fox to calm down a little, a clear high-five was heard, and the green flame fireball suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless fluttering butterflies in an instant, gorgeous and gorgeous, and then disappeared all together in the blink of an eye.

"So, so beautiful! It's the first time I've seen her!"

"Is this witchcraft? It's so magical!"

Everyone had never seen such a magical scene before. It took them a long time to react and they all clapped their hands and praised it.

"That's what happened..." Kazuma groaned. This was also the first time he had seen his family's fox use such impressive magic, and it was also in a bustling urban area of ​​Tokyo.

The advancement of scientific and technological civilization has greatly weakened the power of the mysterious side. The fact that Tamamo can use such magic in a busy city is enough to show that the rules governing this dojo have changed.

"Didn't you notice anything?" Tamamo seemed to be looking at him in surprise. "The moment I stepped into the dojo, the hair on the tip of my tail stood up."

"Uh..." Kazuma scratched his head, recalling that after the Ksitigarbha statue was placed, the atmosphere of the dojo had indeed changed significantly, but he didn't expect that it would turn into a place of constant darkness. "I figured out what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva meant, and it seemed that he liked our dojo very much, and said that he would protect this place from now on... and so on."

Of course, what Kazuma said was not something he heard with his own ears, but something closer to some kind of natural feeling, similar to the experience of hearing the tin stick shaking in the dark place.

"There is such a thing... Oh, should you say that he is worthy of the man I like?" Even Tamamo was speechless at this time, silently picking up the barley tea and drinking it.

If even the Great Demon Fox was like this, everyone naturally had nothing else to say.

From the catfish spirit to the evergreen land to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I have heard so many mysteries related to the mysterious side today. Even Seiryu, who has experienced it personally, temporarily fell into a state of indigestion. He imitated Tamamo and picked up the tea cup and drank tea. Come. Others followed suit, and the Kiryu Dojo was so quiet that you could hear the falling leaves.

"...Uh, that's not right!" While everyone was digesting in silence, Chiyoko suddenly exclaimed as if she had noticed something, startling everyone. "Well, is the Land of Eternal Darkness a place that monsters like? Our dojo has become the Land of Eternal Darkness. That means...well, is it possible that many monsters and ghosts will gather here in the future!?"

"What!? Ouch!"

Chiyoko's words made Seiryu next to him jump up in shock, but he jumped up too hard and accidentally hit the table, causing him to scream in pain.

But regardless of this, Seiryu and Chiyoko looked at Kazuma with tears in their eyes, as if they wanted to get some kind of guarantee from him.

However, Kazuma himself knew little about the mysterious side, so he just asked the questions to the experts at home.

"Well, actually I want to see if any blind thing dares to come to my house to cause trouble. After all, the last time I started eating meat was many years ago." Tamamo's eyes were filled with a golden demonic light, and she put down her teacup and said calmly. Said. The great demon fox who has lived for a long time can be said to be at the top of the pyramid on the mysterious side. At this time, the aura of a superior person naturally emerged, which immediately made Chiyoko and others feel at ease.

It only lasted two or three seconds, and then the fox fell down on the table as if frustrated, looking towards the direction of the cherry blossom tree. "... That's what I say, but compared to that person, I'm probably just a slightly bright light bulb. With that person's protection, earthquakes and fires in the future will probably not be able to harm a single hair of the Kiryu Dojo, right? As for the demons and monsters Of course it’s even more impossible to cause trouble!”

"Really? That's great, brother!" Chiyoko immediately jumped for joy when he heard this, and Ma Yi nodded as if he was heartbroken.

After all, the Kiryu Dojo is ancient at best, and shabby at worst. Traces of disrepair can be found almost everywhere in the dojo, and the fire protection system is close to zero.

Kazuma is often worried that the dojo will be wiped out if he is not careful, and Chiyoko is struggling with the family budget every week to squeeze out the overhaul fund. These worries can finally be relieved a little now.

"Are there any other good things?" Tamamo squinted her eyes slightly and spoke in a lazy tone. "The Kiryu Dojo has now become a place of eternal darkness under the protection of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. It is essentially equivalent to half of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's land. So if you have any wishes to pray to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, it is comparable to Ise Shrine. The likes are much more effective."

"Eh? There is still such a thing?"

"Yes, offering different offerings has different meanings. If you ask for any wishes, I will teach you slowly in the future."

"Yes! Please give me more advice, teacher!" Qingliu saluted the fox with a red face, then lowered his head and touched his chest happily. So far, she has tried almost all solutions based on scientific theories, and now it seems that she finally has a chance to grow.

"Wow! What should I do? What should I do? Brother, suddenly I feel that our family has become super powerful!?" Chiyoko on the other side screamed with excitement, waving her hands as if I don’t know where to put my hands and feet.

"Calm down, calm down. You are the hostess of our dojo. What's the point of panicking you?" Kazuma picked up a piece of cold fried pork cutlet and stuffed it into Chiyoko's mouth. Chiyoko whimpered as her mouth was gagged, but she seemed to have finally calmed down a little.

"Huh, this is causing a lot of trouble..."

Kazuma shook his head and exhaled. All kinds of mysterious events came one after another in a short period of time like a stormy sea. Even he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

It is said that when he went to track down Kosa, he never expected that there would be such a divine unfolding. Whether it was the awakening of the mourning god of Seiji Qingyu, or his own dojo becoming a place of constant darkness under the protection of Jizo, it seemed as if There are invisible forces driving these changes.

"Is this the way of heaven?" Kazuma suddenly thought of his new entry.

The way of heaven has the virtue of good life, and if you follow it, you will prosper - the so-called "prosperity" means "prosperity", just like the current Kiryu Dojo.

Kazuma couldn't help but look at the cherry blossom tree, and saw the Jizo statue standing steadily under the tree without joy or sadness. Although it looked like an ordinary scene at first glance, what lay behind it was a vast law that was beyond words - Kazuma felt his body tingling like an electric shock.

The blessing of this law-level entry even gave him a fear as if he was holding a nuclear bomb in his hand.
