Mechanical Alchemist

Su Lun has now determined that the cursed space of [Death Novels: Kingdom of Underworld] is connected to reality.

Moreover, he also distinguished two kinds of "aboriginal people".

One is a monster like [Shuten-douji] who has always existed in this space.

The other is people like Granny Akuta and Ryuichi Akutagawa who died from the hidden mountains.

Although Su Lun didn't understand how that "Royate Ye Ji" did it.

But here comes the problem.

What is her purpose for creating such a cursed space?

Certainly not simply to suck in and kill outsiders. If you think about her motives, you might know that this space is going out like this.

Moreover, this space itself is full of weirdness.

Normally, the plot in the cursed space would be a memory of a certain "main will".

But the strange thing is that the plot here has not happened before, but has a complete timeline. Still developing over time.

In all the ghost memories that Su Lun stripped, no matter who it is, they think that this "land of the underworld" is the kingdom of the underworld that has existed in the mythology for countless years.

The fact is that Hayato Fujiwara wrote this novel in the last thirty years.

Could it be that the great writer wrote the history of this world for countless years with his pen?

How difficult it is to be flawless.

However, Su Lun, as a time traveler, is not particularly unbelievable.

After thinking hard, he thought of a relatively reasonable explanation.

That is, the creatures in this world are limited by certain things, such as: dimension!

All illusions do not avoid a premise: this is a world in a book.

Su Lun thought again, if they really couldn't get out, would there be an extra sentence in that [Death Novel]: "Su Lun and Qiantiao couldn't get out of the kingdom of hell after all, and stayed there forever "

Two living people, in this dimension, can be summed up in a few paragraphs.

Su Lun felt a little sad when he thought about it, but he also found it very interesting.

Could the so-called real world itself be a fictional story?

In the courtyard of Sensoji Temple, snowflakes are floating in the sky.

Qianjo was still comprehending the way of the sword she had comprehended in the snow.

Under the eaves, Akutagawa Ryuichi's old hands were carving the outline of the Buddha statue out of the wood with a carving knife.

The sound of the blade embedded in the wood is very subtle, "唰", "唰".

Sawdust fell to the ground in pieces.

Su Lun took out a semi-finished puppet and asked patiently for advice.

Although he doesn't know the way of swordsman, he also has a lot of experience in carving.

Moreover, he has read too many literatures of Shanyin Kingdom before, so there is no gap in communication. No matter what the topic is, I can say a few words of my own opinion, and I get acquainted quickly.

"Mr. Akutagawa's sculpture of Buddha is related to your "Intent to Draw the Sword from Hell"?"

"Well. A swordsman who cultivates the hell way focuses on killing. If he has no compassion, he will enter the way of the devil sooner or later. Moreover, when I entered the holy realm in my later years, I started carving Buddhas, and only then did I realize that the Buddha nature is not suppressing me because of killing and cutting. The rising sword intent of Hell Dao has made my kendo a step further. Realm is like a bucket of water. When the water is full, you need a higher wall to hold more water. How high is it? Your buddha nature is as high as your swordsmanship. Your friend's talent is very good, but she doesn't need some insight yet. Your situation, my friend, is similar."

"."

Su Lun knew that although the old man talked again, he was always giving thousands of instructions and nodded from time to time.

He also asked some things about Huang Quanguo, but he didn't get too many clues that he wanted.

Even this sword master who was the top strongman of Shanyin, in his cognition, this is the real kingdom of the underworld.

Moreover, the residents of Shanyin have an indescribable worship of "Izanami". Just like there should be a sun in the sky, it is a solidified cognition. Not to mention inquiring about the level of the Lord of the Underworld, it is not even easy to talk about it.

The only thing that is certain is that the Lord of the Underworld is "unfathomable".

Time flies, and it is half a moon in a flash.

Su Lun and Qianjo stayed at Sensoji Temple, and because of the temple and Niwan, there were no ghosts to disturb them.

There was a sword master giving advice all the time, but Qiantiao could not stand still, and practiced sword in the yard every day.

In her words, as long as one can comprehend the true meaning of the way of the sword, it doesn't matter even if you can't get out.

Su Lun was not idle. After recovering from his injury, he sneaked into the city full of various ghosts many times to find out more about the Lord of the Underworld and find a way out.

Because I had prepared in advance, I went in several times without any danger.

However, after these few trips, I have seen a lot of strange monsters in Huangquan Country, but with little success.

The information available is very limited.

The only way he could think of to get out was still to go directly to Izanami.

But the lord of the country was too mysterious, so Su Lun felt that it was best not to take the risk of trying before he was sure.

In the myths and legends of Shan Yin, the ruler in charge of Huangquan was the first person to die in the world. Because of him, the concept of "death" came into being.

This day, the day as usual.

"Sword Master" Akutagawa Ryuichi would go out to find suitable wood after he carved the Buddha statue every once in a while.

As usual, only Su Lun and Qianjo were left in Asakusa.

In the yard, Qianjo was still practicing sword day after day.

"whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh".

The sword qi pierced through the air endlessly.

Unlike her usual fierce slashing before, Qianjo is holding a knife at this moment, more like "playing".

A dead leaf wandered above her blade, every time the leaf fell to the ground, it would be lifted up by a gust of sword energy, with just the right strength, like a goose feather, undulating up and down.

Taking a closer look, on the dead leaf, another pattern was drawn with sword energy.

Su Lun was carving puppet under the eaves, glanced at it, and rolled his eyes.

The painting on the dead leaves seems to be him, Su himself, but it's too scribbled?

But at this moment, a crow flew across the sky suddenly, and with a "shua", the sword was fierce, and the dead leaf was chopped into two pieces.

Seeing this, Qiantiao grimaced and muttered, "Ah, I failed again."

Su Lun smiled and said, "Miss Qiantiao, take a rest. Your qi is a little out of order."

He naturally knew that this was a very clever method of micromanipulation to control the sword energy.

This kind of high-level secret method, it is reasonable to say that a fourth-level professional like Su Lun can't understand it at all, and can't talk about it.

But coincidentally, he really knew what was going on after stripping off [Yu Liu·Hegemony].

This is the secret sword style of "Akutagawa One Sword Style", which needs to grasp the sense of meticulous control over the sword energy.

Very difficult to get started.

But after learning this secret technique, even against monsters that are almost immune to physical attacks like [Rotten Monster], ordinary sword energy can still do a good job of killing.

The scientific explanation is that this secret method changes the slash from a "line" to a "particle level" slash, destroying the target's morphological structure with Qi.

Su Lun looked at Qiantiao's troubled look, made two gestures with the carving knife, and said, "You should do this first, then do that."

Qiantiao gave him a blank look. Although he felt it was reasonable, he couldn't help but complain: "Do you think everyone has your talent?"

This secret method is easy to say, but it is very difficult to control that feeling. Only by trying again and again, letting the body learn and generate muscle memory, can the output be stabilized in the end.

She let out a foul breath, picked up another dead leaf on the ground, and started a new practice.

Su Lun looked at her increasingly proficient slashing skills, and a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes.

He naturally knows how important it is to meet a good teacher.

Especially on some big bottlenecks that need comprehension.

These days the "Sword Master" Akutagawa Ryuichi has been giving pointers, and Chijo's swordsmanship has also increased visibly with the naked eye. In particular, the comprehension of "Sword Intent" seems to be just a step away.

It's no wonder that Chijo doesn't want to go anywhere now, and he is practicing swords at Sensoji Temple.

Coming to "Yellow Spring" this time can be regarded as a combination of misfortune and blessing. It is a rare and great opportunity to meet the sword master who has passed away in the real world.

Not long after, Su Lun looked at his pocket watch, it was already twelve noon.

At this time of day, he would go out and look for some clues.

He tidied up the puppet, stood up, and said, "Sister Qiantiao, today I am going to go to the city again."

While chopping leaves, Qianjo asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"

Su Lun shook his head, "No, this time I'm not going to meet any big monsters, I'm just going around."

If he hadn't been trapped, he would have been really interested in this novel world.

The laws of the kingdom of the underworld in this book are impeccable and dangerous. But it also means that here, like outside, there are many potential treasures and secrets to be discovered.

Huang Quanguo has a lot of materials that contain the law of death. These are hard to find in the real world, and they are what Su Lun needs. There are also those goblins and ghosts, which are rare to see outside.

Walking around here, you can see countless rare varieties.

This is also a top scarce resource.

In the past half a month, Su Lun has exchanged some of his own inventory for Huangquan materials worth hundreds of millions. If these materials are sold in the real world, they may not be able to be bought at a hundred times or a thousand times the price.

He felt that if he really could get out alive, he could also write a travelogue based on it, called "I'm a Loser in the Underworld".

Chijo didn't say much, "Yes."

Both of them knew very well that if they were found in the city, they both fled.

Two people are not as good as one person.

After a pause, she glanced at Su Lun and said one more sentence: "Be careful."

"good."

Su Lun put on a cloak, picked up the rune umbrella, and as usual, first released the black crow to explore the way ahead, and then walked towards the dilapidated gate of the Buddhist temple.

But within a few steps, suddenly, a beam of white light lit up in the sky, shining in the east of the city!

In this gloomy world, that beam of white light is as eye-catching as a falling meteor.

Qianjo suddenly turned his face to the side, looked at the beam of light, and whispered: "What is that!"

Su Lun rolled his eyes, a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes, and immediately said: "Let's go and have a look!"

I have been looking for a way to get out during this time, but this world is like a circle with a complete closed loop, and I can't find any flaws at all.

But this vision.

Like sunlight?

How can there be sunshine in the kingdom of the underworld?

Su Lun and Qianjo left Sensoji Temple and headed towards the east of the city.

But there was a lot of movement about the vision that day, and along the way, they also found that other monsters were attracted to them.

Because they were outside the city, the speed of the two was very fast, but when they got closer, they also found that there were more and more monsters around, and there were some powerful existences faintly.

The two of them didn't approach in a hurry, they gathered in the woods in the distance to watch the fun with some little ghosts who came to watch the fun.

Although it is far away, it is enough to see clearly.

The sky seemed to be pierced by the sun, and then a bunch of "spotlights" came down, illuminating the mountain like a monk's head.

Su Lun looked at the location of the mountain, and felt vaguely familiar, and muttered: "The place where the beam of light descends seems to be the location of the Iga Shrine outside Edo City?"

"It seems to be."

Chijo also noticed this: "Isn't it the movement made by Miko?"

In Shanyin, the sun is synonymous with Amaterasu, and Mikoko is the maiden who serves the god.

The two of them didn't forget that when they came in, there should be a big battle going on in Edo Castle outside.

Although half a month has passed in the cursed space, it is not necessarily how long it has passed outside.

With so many coincidences together, there is a high probability that the guess is true.

"Hey, if it's Yuzi, then don't we have a chance to go out?"

As Su Lun said, he glanced at the golden light piercing the sky.

But I don't know if it was his crow's mouth, but as soon as he said this, the hole in the sky suddenly closed, and the light beam went out!

Sullen "."

Qiantiao: "."

The two looked at each other, and both saw the speechlessness in the other's eyes.

No matter how you look at this situation, it looks like someone threw another "thing" in from outside.

Qiantiao guessed, "Could it be that something happened to Yuzi?"

Su Lun also frowned slightly, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

This is very likely.

The people of the Takeda Shogunate chose to launch the war at the "Dark Sun Festival", and they even got rid of all outsiders by polluting the sun. No matter how you look at it, you are completely sure of it.

Even if you don't know how the battle is going outside, you can imagine the result. For the Shanyin royal family, it is definitely not optimistic.

Chijo nodded.

The two got off the tree and touched it quietly.

These ghosts in Huangquan are very afraid of the sun, and no ghosts dare to approach that mountain.

Although there is no "spotlight", the top of the mountain still has an afterglow like a night pearl.

Su Lun and Qianjo walked over, and sure enough, they saw a phantom palace like a mirage.

"It really is the Iga Shrine! It should be a projection of the real world."

Su Lun looked at the phantom, his eyes froze.

There are no shrines in the land of the underworld. Even if there is one on this hillside, it is a dilapidated shrine like Sensoji Temple.

Chijo shook the knife in his hand and asked, "Shall we go over and have a look?"

Su Lun nodded.

Whether it's Yuzi or other circumstances, they need to investigate clearly.

The two walked towards the top of the glowing mountain.

The light on the top of the mountain and the phantom of the palace are becoming dim at a speed visible to the naked eye because they are not supplemented by the light beams from the outside.

Without the sunlight, the ghosts around went crazy and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

There seems to be a "something" on the top of the mountain that attracts these ghosts.

The two discovered this and rushed over quickly.

The two of them were human, so they were not affected by the light at all, and went directly to the hill where the palace was located.

Sure enough, there is a dilapidated shrine here.

And the ghosts who can come here are all professionals with fourth or fifth ranks of combat power.

Not too many, not too few.

A [Big Head] with a huge head, [Zhu Yin] with an ugly face and a snake body, a monk with one-eyed blue skin wants [Qingfangzhu], [Pig Demon], [Mushroom Demon], [Octopus Demon].

Su Lun has seen many ghosts that only exist in stories these days, and also saw a few familiar big monsters.

When the two of them came, some monsters had already rushed in against the glare of the sun.

The sound of fierce fighting came from the dilapidated shrine.

Su Lun and the two didn't approach rashly. He let the black crow fly and overlooked everything from a high altitude.

The vision is shared. In the shrine, several monsters are besieging a human.

The battle is still intense.

Looking at the black-haired girl who was holding a bow and arrow and wearing a red and white priestess costume, Su Lun recognized it at a glance.
