[Comprehensive] After wearing this sword, I found that my height was wrong

"Hey--"

Santiao Zongjin, with his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in the courtyard with a worried look on his face.

On the side, Jinjian stood with a sword in his hand, his tall figure appeared silent and dignified.

After observing Sanjo Zongjin's entanglement, Fu Sangshen, who basically doesn't like to bear at all, simply said, "Is there anything that bothers you?"

For this "father" who gave him a body in this world, Imaiken is sincerely respectful and grateful.Therefore, within the scope of his ability, he is willing to help.

As for being able to enjoy this special preferential treatment, there is only one person in Santiaozong in the whole world.

Hearing Fu Sangshen's question, Santiao Zongjin closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "There's nothing to hide about this matter, it's about you after all."

"About me?"

Imaken lowered his eyes gently and slowly, and then thought of a certain possibility.

Santiao Zongjin stroked his forehead distressedly: "Yesterday you came out of the stove to trigger the vision of heaven and earth, so His Majesty the Emperor specially issued an edict, and wants to let you have a look."

The imperial edict was sent this morning, and it was full of eloquence.

After putting aside those innocuous nonsense, it probably means——

I heard that a big baby was born in your family, so bring it to the palace and show it to me.

The edict is polite, but Santiao Zongjin knows it well - once this is seen right, I am afraid that Jinjian will become a royal treasure in no time!

Really careless.

Yesterday, I was made a fuss by the big tengu, and I even forgot the group of royal nobles who like to watch the theater the most.Compared with the terrifying big monster, the newly born strange treasure is obviously more to their appetite.

Although imperial possessions are a great honor, but... but now the Santiao sect is close, how can they be willing to do so!

"You don't want me to enter the palace."

Sensing Sanjo Zongjin's hesitation, Jinjian turned his eyes and said, "If this is your wish, then I won't go."

Fu Sangshen's tone was calm and indifferent, as if disobeying the emperor's will was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Santiao Zongjin Lao Huai calmed down in relief, then thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh——

Enter the palace!

Anyway, I can't hide, so I just meet up and fight directly!

However, when entering the palace this time, Sanjo Zongjin only took away the body of the Otachi sword, and did not let Imaken, who is Fusangshen, follow him.

After all, there are many onmyojis in the imperial palace, and they may not be as tolerant as Abe Seimei to Fu Sangshen who is completely unreasonable.

Sanjo Zongjin got into the bullock cart and drove slowly towards the palace.

Imai stood silently in front of the mansion, his upright figure was shrouded in a layer of faint morning light, as if he was about to melt into the hazy light.

……

This is not the first time Sanjo Zongjin has entered the palace.

As a well-known swordsmith in Kyoto, due to various reasons, the number of times he entered the palace was not too many but not too few.

But because of the different state of mind this time, the magnificent palaces that I used to sigh, and the dignified maids who passed by, did not arouse Sanjo Sokami's attention at all this time.

The female officer in charge of leading the way walked in front, leading Sanjo Zongjin around one palace after another, and finally walked onto a winding corridor.

"Stop."

A female voice suddenly sounded, and the trailing sound trembled slightly, indescribably delicate and long.

Sanjo Zongjin and the female officer looked sideways, and saw a woman walking slowly from the corner——

She was wearing the most common maid kimono in the palace, but the skirt that was supposed to be tightly closed was opened more than half in an irregular manner, revealing the woman's round shoulders and delicate figure.

The woman chased up to Sanjo Zongjin in a few steps, turning a blind eye to the wide-eyed female officer next to her.

"I'm sure this is Santiao-sama, I've heard him for a long time."

The woman unhurriedly covered her loose skirt, and then her gorgeous red lips curled up, revealing a flamboyant and flirtatious smile.

Seeing this, the female officer gasped in anger.

She was originally a female official who ruled over the emperor's close maids, how could she see such rude behavior: "Bold! Which palace are you from? Dress and behavior are simply presumptuous!"

Facing the female officer's annoyed scolding, the woman just half-covered her head and glanced lightly——

What came into the female officer's field of vision was not the human eyes that were originally disguised.

The whites of the eyes were a terrifying blackness, a bloody hollow that could swallow everything.But in such dark eyes, there is clearly a pair of pupils of molten gold, in which a strange light flickers, like a ferocious beast with its fangs bared, sharp and dangerous.

The female officer immediately took a step back in shock, she almost wanted to scream regardless.

However, the dry throat seemed to be choked by someone, and all possible sounds were lost in the fear of extinction.

Her lips trembled several times, and the female officer who was unable to make a sound turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Sanjo Zongjin sensed that something was wrong.

But before he could say anything, he saw the unidentified woman turn around and face him again.

The woman's eyes wandered unscrupulously around his body, and finally, she fixed on the big sword held in both hands.

She rubbed her chin, leaned closer and moved her nose, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Sure enough, it's that guy's smell... It seems that the rumors in Kyoto are not all groundless..."

While speaking with unclear meaning, the woman observed every inch of the Odachi with her eyes, and seemed to have seen the sharp blade of the sword clearly through the scabbard.

In the end, she laughed with satisfaction: "As expected, it is the treasure that the big tengu likes, and it really is a famous sword! Such a treasure is in the hands of human beings, it is a waste of money, why not give it to a close friend!"

When these words are released, everyone should be aware that something is wrong.

Sanjo Zongjin almost didn't even think about it, and immediately turned around and ran away.

However, the other party seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and immediately made Santiao Zongjin freeze his body, unable to move at all.

Santiao Zongjin was so anxious that he wanted to jump every minute, but there was nothing he could do.

So he could only watch helplessly as the other party stretched out his hand and pressed it on the Otachi's sword.

Almost at the same moment, Fu Sangshen, who was far away in the Sanjo Mansion, felt something, and suddenly raised his eyes, and a golden light flashed across his eyes.

"呲-"

On this side, the moment the woman touched the sword, there was a clear burning sound in the air.Wisps of white smoke emerged from the opponent's left hand that touched the sword.

The scorching pain caused the other party to retract his hand reflexively.

And as the white smoke dissipated, the originally slender and white fingers disappeared, and what finally appeared was a pair of terrifying ghost hands.

"...Oh? It actually broke my spell..."

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise, and then showed a look of great interest.

Now that the cover-up has been broken, she simply stopped pretending.

Then the figure flickered, and the beauty in the kimono disappeared immediately, and a tall man appeared instead.

He was dressed in dark clothes, with armor on his waist, shoulders and arms, exuding the blood of war and gunpowder, and he was already a ghost town of his own.

Not to mention, he also has a pair of strange golden pupils and red horns that obviously do not belong to humans.

The majestic monster stands there, and all human beings are afraid of his name.

He is—

The ghost of Rashomon, Ibaraki Doji.

Santiao Zong looked at the slowly approaching monster and cried out secretly.

Although he has never met Ibaraki Doji, this person's aura is comparable to the Ootengu he met before, no matter how he thinks about it, he will not be a simple character.

The immobilization technique had already been unlocked, but Santiao Zong knew it well, even so, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.

So he hugged the big sword in his arms even more tightly, suppressing his fear and said: "Your Excellency is also a big monster, why bother me, a small swordsmith?"

Ibaraki Doji snorted coldly, expressing that he would not accept this set: "Humans, hand over that vibrating sword."

Out of the pride of the big monster, Ibaraki Doji is naturally not interested in killing a human being, but if the other party doesn't cooperate, he doesn't mind doing it.

Of course, if it's just normal, he doesn't have to be so serious just because he shook his knife.

But now, he is busy building a palace for his best friend, a top palace that gathers all the rare treasures in the world!

It is precisely because of this that Ibaraki Doji came to Kyoto.

After all, there are the most beautiful women, the best jewelry, and the most gold and silver here... and these are what are urgently needed for the construction of the palace.

Just yesterday, Ibaraki Doji, who was wandering around the palace disguised as a maid, searching for treasures by the way, suddenly heard that there would be a rare treasure to offer today, and it was said that it was a rare treasure that even Ootengu would be tempted by.

So, in line with the principle of "the best are best friends", Ibaraki Doji simply came to block people.

Then, there was the present scene.

Santiaozong didn't know these twists and turns, but he could tell that the big monster in front of him might not let it go.

But even so-

"Today's sword is the most cherished masterpiece in my life. Whether it is the Emperor or Your Excellency, I will not hand it over!"

Ibaraki Doji opened the corner of his mouth when he heard the words, and his left hand curled up with a demonic aura: "You have a lot of backbone, but—"

"Stupid too."

The armor made a tinkling sound, and the furious big monster stretched out its ghost claws, intending to cleanly deal with the human beings who were in the way.

……

In the distant Santiao Mansion, Fu Sangshen, who was still resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened those golden eyes.

His hand slowly touched his waist, where his main body should have been hanging, but now there was nothing there.

But even so, Fu Sangshen still shook his hands a few times, then silently lowered his eyes——

... demonic.

Father, there is danger.

Realizing this, Fu Sangshen straightened up expressionlessly.

Some kind of agitated emotion suddenly surged in the golden pupils, like a dormant volcano revived, hot lava spewing out, and it was bound to annihilate everything in sight.

He stepped out of the living room and came to the courtyard.Then he raised his head calmly and looked in the direction of the palace.

—Oops, he seems to be...

— a little angry.
