The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

The Great Master of Xixing was a figure who lived more than two hundred years ago. Throughout his life, he can be regarded as a legend.

According to legend, he wandered around the world when he was young, studied Dharma in all phenomena, and received teachings from heaven and earth. He had profound magical power. He took it as his own duty to clear up the right path, eliminate demons and subjugate demons. He saved countless people in his life, and was respected by others as the Great Master of the West.

After the death of Master Xixing, his adopted son inherited the title of Master Xixing. He traveled around the world and cured countless monsters, making Master Xixing a household name.

Over the next two hundred years or so, Master Xixing has been passed down for seventeen generations. To this day, Master Xixing is no longer just a name, but has been sublimated into the most important symbol for people to fight against monsters.

The seventeenth generation Master Xixing is also considered the last Master Xixing because he never accepted a disciple in his life and had only one daughter. After he passed away three years ago, her daughter inherited the name of Xixing.

Because there has never been a precedent for a woman to inherit the name of Master Xixing, people call her daughter the Daughter of Xixing.

"Hey, hey, isn't this quite extraordinary?"

After Takeru realized again the specialness of the name Saikyo, it was no longer possible for him to look directly at Yuuko in front of him like before.

No wonder Yao Ji said that even if she is a monster, as long as she follows Yuko, no one will come to trouble her. Even if Yuko is unarmed, as long as she inherits the name of Saigon, she will be far more powerful than those guys outside.

Counting her ancestors, a total of seventeen generations have worked hard to build the reputation of going west, which really makes others dare not breathe.

"But, is it really possible? Although your identity is indeed very powerful, you won't be caught by others, right?" In the end, Takeru couldn't help but express his worries.

People are always not afraid to use their darkest thoughts to guess others. Influenced by later film and television works, Wu Ye has always had the most malicious thoughts about the battles between big families like the ancients.

"Of course it's not allowed to do it blatantly, but Takeya, you can learn how to do it, just hide it a little bit."

"But how can I hide it? I'm not half-human and half-spirit. Just hide the half-spirit and that's it. Oh, by the way, where is his half-spirit?"

"How could I know such a thing? Ahem, that's not what I'm talking about. I mean, Takeya, you just need to find a reasonable excuse."

Afterwards, with Yuko's repeated explanations, Takeru finally understood the problem.

It's true that Yoji is half-human and half-spirit, and it's true that he's a monster, but at least on the surface he looks the same as a human being.

The soul master's swordsmanship originally focused on sword skills rather than sword power, so the demon who pretended to be a swordsman would not arouse suspicion at all.

What's more, he deliberately left a weak but obvious demonic aura in Bailoujian. This was not a flaw, but an "excuse" openly used to divert other people's attention.

Even if someone is suspicious of Yaoji, as long as they refute it and say that the White Mansion Sword is a weapon of a monster, and throw the blame of the monster's energy onto the weapon, and add in the identity of the daughter of the Westward Journey, naturally no one will make any further comments. Four.

Of course, this approach also has a drawback, but it is that the strength of the monster will be greatly weakened. After all, once the monster cannot use the monster power, it will only be stronger than ordinary humans by relying on its inhuman physique.

After understanding Youzi's words, Wu Ye suddenly realized: "You mean, let me repeat the old trick and attribute the problem of demon power to Gungnir?"

"Right, that is it."

"Again and again, the same method is used for the second time, can this still work?"

"Of course it's no problem. In fact, everyone is pretty much the same."

Yuuko pretended to be mysterious and blinked at Takeya, only to hear Yoji outside the door explain: "Youkai's weapons are inherently more powerful than human beings, and there are not a few humans who use these weapons."

Now Wu also understood, in the final analysis, this thing can't stand the investigation, everyone is not clean, so it is really a realistic approach to simply tacitly understand it.

"Then it's settled. Now that you're living here, you can just say that you are my court master just like Yaoji." After saying that, Yuuko ordered Yaoji at the door: "Yaoji Ji, go clean up a room and come out."

"Yes, Yuko-sama."

"Ah, there's no need to, uh, bother you."

Wu Ye, who was about to refuse, thought of the predicament he was in, and didn't know how long it would take him to go back, so he decided to settle down first.

Anyway, it's not the first time to run away from home, and I hope everything will go well this time.

Although the young Yaoji didn't like him very much, he still carried out Yuko's orders very efficiently. He quickly replied and led Takeya to the guest room.

Along the way, Wu Ye couldn't help but marvel at the house left by Master Xixi: "It's so big. Did Master Xixing charge so much to cure monsters at one time? He actually bought such a big house."

"Ridiculous."

Coldly, Yao Ji turned around and glanced at Wu Ye with disdain, and said: "Our ancestors did not like luxury. This mansion was given to the Great Master Xixing by a nobleman back then."

"My lord."

Wu Ye nodded and said nothing more. Although he felt that the furnishings in this mansion looked familiar, he thought that noble families in the past looked like this, so he was no longer curious.

It's just that this thing in front of me, no matter how familiar it is, is a bit too much, right?

"Hey, can this be the Westward Demon?"

Looking up at the huge cherry blossom tree in front of him, Wu Ye will never forget a cherry blossom tree of this size once he has seen it once.

The Westward Demon standing in the atrium covers the sky and the sun. It does not have the comfortable gentleness that Wuya saw in later generations. Instead, it looks like it is showing its teeth and claws. The thick branches extend out like tentacles, like a hunter who is ready to attack. .

"I thought that a boy like you from the mountains must be ignorant, but I never thought that you would know about Xixing Yao." Yaoji said half-sarcastically.

"Is this really the Westward Demon?"

"This is the largest cherry blossom tree in Kyoto, and I don't know who gave it such an ominous name." Yaoji said pointedly.

"Is it ominous? I think it's okay."

Yao Ji glanced at Wu Ye and said: "There are many people who come here every year to admire this cherry blossom tree. It's a pity that it has never been in full bloom. They all say that it is because of this ominous name."

"Since there are such bad rumors, don't you all think about explaining it?"

"There is nothing to explain. It does have a bad name. It is not wrong to say that it is ominous."

An unexpected answer. Wu never thought that Yao Ji would think this way. He was not an ordinary person. As a monster, it was impossible for him not to notice that there was nothing special about this Xi Xing Yao except that it was bigger. , let alone a curse.

At least Wu couldn't tell.

Looking at the huge Xi Xing Demon, Yao Ji suddenly asked: "Since Master Xi Xing created the Xi Xing lineage, it has gone through seventeen generations of inheritance in just two hundred years. Why do you think this is?"

"Huh?" Wu Ye, who had never paid attention to these details, was slightly taken aback.

"You should know that humans with spiritual power usually live a long life, because spiritual power can subtly change a person's physique, but even so, I have never seen any Western Master who can live a long life."

"That's why I say it's ominous." Wu Ye raised his head and silently took a step back to leave the shadow covered by the Westbound Demon.

In front of Xixing Yao, Yaoji couldn't ignore his own insignificance, and a wordless fear gripped his heart tightly.

There were some words that he would not say to Takeya, who had just met him for the first time, and that was that every generation of Masters from the West was one of the best in the world. They were all legendary figures when they were alive, but they all died in obscurity.

Thinking of the night three years ago when Yuko-sama's father, the previous generation of Master Saigyou, suddenly disappeared, the eight-pointed Saigyou Demon in his memory seemed to be waving to him, swaying and scattering petals flying like butterflies. It was death. color.

Subconsciously clenched the Bailou Sword at his waist, Yaoji quickened his pace and left the atrium where Xixingyao was located as if fleeing.
