He couldn't read the subsequent contents of the book, because it recorded that when Zhang Tianshi subdued the demon, he spit out three kinds of true fire from his mouth, his eyes emitted brilliant golden light, and his skin was like fine steel and bronze!
This record made Youjing think that Zhang Tianshi might be the dragon-slaying master from his hometown, someone who could wield the Sovereign Flame or the Bronze Throne. He might have subdued demons with his physical body, chanting the spell simply to appear more professional. Youjing hoped his spells would actually work.
"Yanaimi! Throw me the knife!"
Yana saw this and threw the knife without thinking. She had strong arms, and even professional tag athletes might not be able to throw the knife in such a beautiful arc.
Youjing took the sword and pierced the divine sword through the top of little Maitreya's head!
Its mouth was slightly open, and its body was suddenly stiff at this moment.
Ukyo's skin was already covered in burns, but he couldn't stop yet—
It is recorded in "Notes from the Yuewei Thatched Cottage" that Zhang Tianshi pierced its forehead with a peach wood sword and chopped it into pieces with the Liangyi Sword. He then sealed it in a stone coffin, which was only stopped after it was three feet underground.
Although little Maitreya was no longer moving, the high temperature on his body had not yet subsided.
"Mauri! Give me your knife too!"
He, too, became the knife-throwing tool, but his technique was awful, and he dropped the knife. This minor misstep was innocuous enough. Ukyo scooped the knife up from the ground and proceeded to slice through the fat like a sirloin in the kitchen. Such a brutal scene, Maori couldn't help but describe it as "beautiful." Ukyo sliced away layer after layer of neatly cut fat, the blade turning from yellow-white to blood-red. He had no idea how Zhang Tianshi managed to slice through such a creature. If the drought demon Zhang Tianshi had dealt with was thirty feet tall, then the Liangyi sword Zhang Tianshi used to dismember it must have been at least nine meters long!
The body parts cut out by Zhang Tianshi would only be more than his, and putting them into the coffin afterwards would be even more ridiculous. The wooden coffin could not withstand such high temperatures unless he waited until the body parts cooled down before putting them in. The pit that needed to be dug three feet into the ground was even more terrifyingly large, and it was impossible for an ordinary person to do it with a few shovels.
To sum up, Youjing concluded that Zhang Tianshi might be a giant with the same height as Hanba. Only this height could allow him to complete a series of exaggerated operations such as dismembering and burying the body.
He cut for a full minute.
The SWAT officers just stared at it for a minute.
The scene was so shocking that they didn't know whether they should help.
Detective Maori's friend is not like a human being, his mental state is a little too good.
While Youjing was enduring the high temperature and doing this hard work, he couldn't help but think of how he used to be able to gather a lot of heat and release it in a small space!
Not until the little Miroku was completely cut did Youjing put down the knife. He slowly backed away, leaving dark footprints on the ground with every step. His resolute expression collapsed in an instant... Today was the first day of summer vacation, his graduation ceremony, and he gave a graduation speech, which offended the school leaders. His mind was filled with too many things today, and he made many mistakes that he would not normally make. He should have been enjoying his vacation at home and having a rare rest.
But a phone call from Mao Li called him back to the battlefield, and he had no choice but to transform himself into a sharp blade. But after the battle, when his resolute expression collapsed, everyone realized that he was just a boy with a handsome face, no more than fifteen years old, and still wearing a school uniform.
The Buddhist beads in his hand lost their power after being subjected to high temperatures continuously, the silk thread broke, and the beads fell one by one... The high temperature that had not yet dissipated around him enveloped Youjing.
Yana was immediately panicked when she saw this.
"Fire extinguisher! Get the fire extinguisher!"
She rushed into the hot steam and held Ukyo up before he collapsed.
"Coffin..." Ukyo lowered his eyes and pointed at the scene in front of him that had not yet been dealt with.
"Find a coffin big enough... throw these things in, dig... dig at least... three meters deep, bury the coffin, and then everything will be... over!"
Girls' tears are very cheap. Sometimes they will cry because of scenes that boys are completely indifferent to.
Yanami grabbed Ukyo's raised right hand and told him he could rest. His deep blue eyes, slightly tearful, glared at Mori, and he said in a high-pitched voice, "He was telling you this, wasn't he? Hurry up! Do you want me to find the coffin? You're a detective who can't even throw a knife!"
It seemed that the Japanese police were being treated as waste again, but Mao Li had no way of refutation. He immediately took out his phone to find someone to order a coffin, and then contacted the police captain to ask him to send a few engineering shovels to dig a hole on the spot.
........
...
There is still a video of this incident uploaded to the Internet.
But most of the footage was from a distance, featuring explosions and flames. This incident lacked a fearless internet celebrity, and the image of Ukyo slashing monsters in the flames was known only to a small group of people. The public didn't know that a young man had prevented Toyohashi from transforming into Fuyuki that night. But after today, Ukyo suddenly took on the role of "police consultant" at the police station.
This is a senior title. To qualify for this position within the police department, you must first possess expert-level expertise and possess relevant certifications in a specific field. This position typically involves a senior legal advisor, providing legal expertise to the police. Some highly skilled crime feature writers may also hold the title of "consultant" within the police department.
And now, Ukyo also has it.
He is a specially hired paranormal countermeasures expert by the Toyohashi City Police Department, and the police can consult him on all paranormal related incidents.
It's not that you have to ask Ukyo first when something strange happens in Toyohashi, but it's better to ask first. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, no one will be held responsible.
........
...
When Ukyo woke up again, it was noon the next day.
There were some fruits as gifts on the bedside table in the hospital, including a box of cut, bright red fruits. It was probably because that guy Yumu spent money again.
He had extensive burns, but thanks to the protection of the Buddhist beads, the burns were only large and not deep. The only pity was that such a useful item was broken.
But there was another string of sandalwood Buddhist beads on the bedside of the hospital, which was given to him by Maori.
The monk Kuroda had two strings of Buddhist beads in his hand. He took one string at that time, and the other string could not be found in the ruins. Mori probably took the Buddhist beads out when he was cleaning up the scene. Such things that are considered "evidence" should be handed over, but Mori did not do so. Useful things should be handed over to useful people. He did not even mention that there was another string of Buddhist beads in the report submitted to the police chief.
In addition, Maori heard Yana talk about the bounty.
The process of transferring that amount of money was just completed on the day they killed little Miroku, and it should be in Youjing's bank card now.
Ukyo looked around for his phone.
The memories in his mind revived. The cell phone was probably broken. No motherboard could withstand the high temperature above the little Maitreya's head. He didn't know where Maori and the others had put his cell phone when they buried the body. There was nothing important in it, but the phone number of the antique dealer who sold him the knife was left in the original SD card. It didn't matter if the things in the cell phone were damaged, as long as the SD card was still there, it would be fine.
He had to find a way to get another ancient sword.
The sacred swords in the temples around Toyohashi have probably been snatched away, and Yanami's sword was also destroyed in the last battle. It is probably still stuck in the little Miroku's head and was buried in the coffin with it. If Ukyo was the detective in charge of burying the body, he would never have the temerity to touch that sword.
"Ah~, you're awake!" Yanami and Lemon came in carrying two bags of comfort supplies and snacks. Yanami's bag was bulging, and it was obviously filled with more. Ukyo saw that she was carrying a black bamboo sword bag specially used in the kendo dojo on her back. It seemed that she had just finished the kendo dojo course.
"You've become more diligent recently."
Yana breathed out through her nostrils and rolled up her sleeves to show Ukyo the faintly visible muscle lines on her forearms.
"Of course. I had a sparring session with Mr. Tsuchimikado yesterday. He said I'm incredibly talented and is going to help me apply for a special promotion exam!"
There are strict rules for advancing in danjutsu. One must continue training for a period of time before being eligible to take the exam. For example, a first-dan must be at least 14 years old. An eighth-dan can only be promoted ten years after attaining the seventh-dan qualification. However, if a highly respected master of danjutsu recommends one, or if one has achieved exceptional results in fencing competitions, a special promotion exam is possible. Even promotions to dan are based on personal connections.
Ukyo hadn't sought a dan rank because he didn't want to be constrained by these locked steps. However, the dan rank at the Children's Palace was also a dan rank. When others asked him what rank he was, he would say he was an 8th dan, because 9th and 10th dan rank was generally reserved for deceased 8th dan masters who had made outstanding contributions to kendo. The highest rank a living swordsman could achieve was 8th dan.
"Will you come to watch my special promotion exam?" Yanami tore open a bag of potato chips, chewed it in small bites, and asked Ukyo.
Her expression seemed nonchalant, but the way she nibbled at the potato chips gave it away... She actually expected Ukyo to answer "yes" because of her gluttony... Haise always ate potato chips by popping whole pieces into his mouth.
"I'll go." Youjing replied calmly.
"Great! The date is the 20th of this month, and the location is Saga Sports Complex!"
"The detective exam seems to be on the 19th. Is the date so close?"
Seeing Yana was confident, he patted his chest and said, "I have prepared thoroughly for the detective assessment. Boss Ukyo only needs to prepare my employment, contract, and salary!"
"So, if you only want the salary and the contract, you don't need the company to pay for your social security."
"Huh? What is social security?"
Ukyo realizes that Gao Yisheng doesn't have to worry about social security and tries to tease Yanami, but Wuxie restrains himself.
Let's change the question -
Yanaijian is not very good at taking exams. He is actually very worried that his "apprentice" will not be able to pass it in one try. Once an exam is taken for the second time, the enthusiasm and morale will decline.
If a high school student suddenly gets 1500 million yen, how impetuous will he be? He will probably not have the slightest mood to take the exam.
But Youjing would not hold on to the money. They killed the Black Dog Head together, so the money should be divided equally between them.
As long as Yanami can pass the detective written test and the promotion examination, he can immediately make Yanami a rich lady among high school students.
Volume 63: Chapter Tokyo Sword Fair
7 month 3 day.
On the third day of Ukyo's recuperation in the hospital...
Yanami sent a message saying that he would come at noon, but Ukyo had completed the discharge procedures in the morning. The doctor said that he was recovering quickly and all his indicators were normal.
In the chat box, Yanami showed him the ingredients she had just bought. She had been planning to make udon soup and bring it over at noon, but now there was no chance.
.......
Ukyo changed his phone, but the original SD card could not be saved, so he lost the contact information of the [Shifty Antique Dealer].
But he had some connections in the antique circle, so finding the other party again was not a problem. He had a special chat group in his LINE, which gathered a group of rich second-generations who were interested in ancient swords. They often shared sword exhibitions in certain places in Japan.
Many famous businessmen would go to Tokyo to hold exhibitions. Ukyo took a look and found that the latest sword exhibition would be held in two days. It was a joint exhibition by the Samsung Group and the Suzuki Group, which brought together a group of ancient swords collected by the two major groups from all over the world.
This kind of exhibition will not give you a specific product list in advance. If you want to know what is on display, you have to go there in person. This exhibition is under the names of Samsung and Suzuki, so the exhibits must be good.
What he needed to find was a famous sword with a legend behind it that could "slay demons." Ordinary ancient swords were useless to him, but once a sword was imbued with a story, its price would often increase accordingly. The prices offered by these two major consortiums would only be higher than the market price. Ukyo had checked the transaction records of similar exhibitions.
The highest price paid was US$2.5 million for the Suzumaru Tsunetsugu, one of the "Five Swords of the World." The buyer's name has been withheld for privacy reasons. This famous sword, also known as the "Sword of Breaking Evil and Revealing Righteousness," suggests a demon-slaying blade, but unfortunately, Ukyo never got to own it.
The "Five Swords of the World" are the five most famous swords in Japan. The first one, "Daiden Tai Mitsuyo", is now collected by the Maeda Ikutokukai.
The Suzumaru Tsuneji was purchased by an unknown collector.
The remaining three are the ones that Ukyo is familiar with, namely, Dojikiri Yasunaga, Mikazuki Munechika, and Onimaru Kuninaga.
Among them, Mikazuki Munechika is collected in the Tokyo National Museum.
The Dojikiri was originally collected in the Tokyo National Museum, but there has been a rumor in the circle that the Dojikiri was a high-end imitation forged by the famous sword craftsman Ohkei Naotane during the Jianghu period. The sharpness of its body is not inferior to the real Dojikiri. The only difference between it and the real sword is that it did not cut off Shuten-doji's head.
No matter how sharp a knife is, if it has never cut off the head of an evil spirit, it is just an unqualified blade.
The last one is Onimaru Kunitsuna, a famous sword made by the blacksmith Kunitsuna after three years of fasting. It is also known as Onikiri. It once killed hundreds of demons in the hands of the head of the Hojo family in Kamakura. After the fall of the Hojo family, this sword was passed down to several people...Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and other rulers.
After the Battle of Osaka, Tokugawa Ieyasu gained power over the world, and Onikiri became the property of the Tokugawa family. It is rumored that when the family enshrined this sword, it was contaminated with the ominous aura of the demon sword Murasame, causing almost all subsequent owners of Onikiri to die young. It is the third sword among the above-mentioned Five Swords of the World whose whereabouts are unknown.
If this exhibition can achieve three out of three, then the goal will be achieved.
But considering the transaction price of Suzumaru Tsuneji, he may have to borrow some money from his stepfather who is far away in the United States.
However, due to regional reasons, famous Japanese swords are heavily overpriced at exhibitions in Japan. In comparison, famous swords from other countries are priced much cheaper, so you might be able to find a bargain.
Ukyo bought a direct flight to Tokyo that night.
Yanami's divine sword was also broken, and she also needed a new weapon.
Of course, it is more appropriate for the swordsman himself to choose the first sword he uses after truly embarking on the road of no return to slaying demons.
So Ukyo bought two plane tickets.
If Yanami doesn't want to go to Tokyo, he can buy it for her.
She may not have that much time to prepare for two exams at the same time.
Yanai agreed readily. She didn't seem to want to study for the exam at all. Why didn't she go on the free Tokyo tour? And the boss was her bodyguard.
When the two met at the airport, Yanami showed off to Ukyo the two 10000 yen bills in his hand, saying that he would treat himself to a big meal after landing.
Ukyo smiled innocently. If 20000 yen was Yanami's entire budget for this trip to Tokyo, it would barely cover her expenses for two days. The cost of living in Toyohashi was relatively low, and food was very affordable. However, Tokyo was a land of high cost, and the expo was located in the city's core six wards, where costs were highest. If Ukyo didn't cover the cost of hotel accommodation, 6 yen would barely cover hotel expenses in the core six wards.
Yanami was searching for good restaurants in Tokyo on her phone, and Ukyo figured she would soon get discouraged and lower her standards.
If treating him to a big meal was Yanami's obsession, then Ukyo actually didn't mind taking her to the "Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street". The snacks there were relatively affordable and you could eat as much as you wanted for 20000 yen. The place was also known as the "Cat Alley". It was said that cats could be seen wandering around everywhere on the street and they were not afraid of people.
.......
.....
Yoshiki Onmizu pulled her into the "Psychic" group chat with 200 people.
Ukyo sent a private message to the group owner with the surname Minamoto, saying that he was going to Tokyo soon and asked if the other party wanted to meet offline. He explained his purpose and said that he was here for the sword exhibition in two days. At the same time, he was very curious about the "Gate of the Underworld" and the "Genu Family" and hoped to take this opportunity to learn about the relevant matters.
He sent the other party a reservation for a private room on the top floor of the Kantlai Hotel on July 7. If the other party wanted to come and meet him, he could meet him at 3 o'clock, and he would stay in the box for 20 minutes.
Youjing felt that he was polite enough and that he should talk about things in a talkative manner.
But his message fell on deaf ears and the other party did not respond at all.
Ukyo didn't care. He could wait two days. Perhaps, like him, he didn't often check private messages. He thought the other party's mission to guard the gate to the underworld was rather childish, reminiscing about the past. He also happened to be someone with an overwhelming sense of fate, so he secretly hoped that "Yuan" would reply.
........
Ukyo took one last look at LINE from the back of his economy class seat. This plane had a dedicated wireless network, and the passengers around him were all connected, but Ukyo planned to turn off his phone until he landed, so this was the last time he opened LINE.
There was no movement from "Prince Gen" in Tokyo.
The "friends" in the club updated a lot of dynamics. The beautiful girls went to many places in the first few days of the holiday.
[Lemon: "Run." (Image)] She seemed to be in the countryside of Toyohashi, and Ukyo saw a lot of greenery in her background.
[Yanami: A photo taken in front of a sightseeing train], uncaptioned, taken in the afternoon as the sun was about to set. Ukyo was impressed by how naturally she smiled for the camera. She'd been diligent about updating her status before leaving for Tokyo, and Ukyo couldn't imagine how many updates she'd make daily after landing. Many of her "friends" were liking and commenting on the photos.
