I'm slaying demons in the anime

It doesn't look like it has just been through several wars.

"It looks good here."

At this moment, the blonde girl suddenly stopped where she was.

I saw that where she was standing at that moment was the most famous storyteller in Owari, Hirakuraya Saburo.

Hirakuraya Saburo always likes to tell some legends about local exorcists and rumors about various demons.

For ordinary people, these stories are undoubtedly very attractive.

The blonde girl became interested in this person and decided to listen to what story he was telling.

And it just so happened that today, this person actually started talking about the story of Beichen Xiao.

"It is said that a month ago, a young swordsman appeared in Owari Province."

"This man's name is Beichen Xiao, and the people call him the Dragon Slayer."

"As soon as he appeared, he killed the famous monster Red Tongue that was entrenched in Gulu Village."

"What kind of monster is Red Tongue? According to rumors, it is a powerful monster that can easily defeat even hundreds of Imagawa family soldiers. Over the past few decades, countless exorcists have tried to subdue it, but without exception, they have all been killed by this monster."

"Among them are the famous monk Fuyuki, Sangenhei Sojiro, and Guiyuan Heizo."

Just by the tone of his voice, one can tell how high Saburo's level is.

This rhythmic tone is very pleasant to listen to.

The audience in the audience were all staring at Tan Le on the stage, listening attentively to Sanlang telling the story of "The Dragon-Slaying Swordsman Beichen Xiao".

"Rumor has it that Chishelai was transformed by the resentment of those who died of starvation."

"The resentment is so deep that even if we wash it with holy water for three days and three nights, it cannot be completely eliminated."

"Such a terrifying monster has existed in the village for decades. In order to torture these villagers, it even starved countless people to death."

"After learning about the existence of such a terrifying demon, a mysterious young knight came to the village alone. This person is the dragon-slaying swordsman Beichen Xiao."

"Who is the Dragon Slayer?"

"It is rumored that he can slash a dragon with one sword. His swordsmanship is extremely powerful, and he loves to fight for justice. If there are bandits or robbers who do evil, they will not escape his punishment."

"It is rumored that his strength is comparable to that of the patriarchs of the big exorcist families."

"During this period of time, the Dragon Slayer has killed many notorious monsters, such as Shan Tong, Qiao Ji, Yin Mo Luo Gui, etc."

"And this Red Tongue is the first monster that the Dragon Slayer Swordsman has killed."

"It is rumored that every time the Red Tongue appears, it brings with it a thick black fog. Once someone enters, they will lose their way and be captured by the Red Tongue."

"And the red tongue has the special ability to judge a person's fortune, making it a powerful enemy."

"However, the Dragon Slayer Swordsman is not afraid of this at all."

With a "bang" sound, Saburo raised his hand and slapped the table.

He had now reached the climax of the story.

All the audience in the audience pricked up their ears attentively.

"I saw how superb the swordsman's swordsmanship was. With just one strike of his sword, he turned the surrounding wind into a lifelike green dragon. That red tongue was simply unstoppable. It was impossible to resist!"

"Let me ask you, who can match this kind of swordsmanship?"

"The Dragon Slayer Swordsman defeated him with just one sword."

"It's like Su Gemingzun has descended to the world, heroic and extraordinary."

"He is like the demon slayer from heaven, truly the Tai Sui God on earth!"

"The rumors about the Dragon Slayer Swordsman are not just that. He does not take any money from the villagers and even gives food to the poor."

"Even if we eliminate the bandits, we will hand them over to the local officers, and return all the stolen property to the owners."

"This is a true knight, a true hero!"

"It is a blessing for the people that there are such righteous people in the world!"

As Saburo's story came to an end, countless listeners showed longing expressions.

"Oh, there are actually people like this?"

When the blonde girl heard this, a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

"If there really is such a magical person, I really want to meet him."

Just as the girl was in deep thought, another girl appeared beside her.

"My lord, I finally found you."

The girl heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the blonde girl was safe and sound.

"The country is still not peaceful right now, please do not come out casually."

However, the blonde girl didn't care at all about what the girl said.

“Hahaha, Shengjia, it’s okay, it’s okay.”

The blonde girl laughed happily.

However, at this time, the girl named Shengie showed a puzzled expression.

"My Lord, you seem very happy today. Did anything good happen to you?"

"No, I just heard a very interesting story." The blonde girl shook her head and said.

"story?"

Shengjia looked at Saburo who was still telling a story and couldn't help asking, "Is it a story about monsters?"

"That's right. Do you think there are really monsters in this world, and do exorcists who can kill monsters exist?"

"I think there should be some. After all, doesn't His Majesty the Emperor of Kyoto have many Yin-Yang Masters serving him?"

Shengjia couldn't help but ask in confusion. She didn't quite understand why her lord would ask such a question today.

"Haha, if that's the case, maybe such a person really exists."

"A swordsman who can even kill a dragon? I really want to recruit him as my subordinate."

....................................

In a desolate place in Owari Province, there is an ancient temple hidden away that has been forgotten by time.

At this moment, five travelers who planned to stay overnight gathered in this ancient temple of moderate size.

These five travelers are without exception - they are all ronin with knives on their waists, but they have no place to go and no one to serve.

Four ronin sat together, their idle chatter echoing in the ancient temple.

The other ronin was alone in a corner, but did not join in the conversation. He was seen holding a long sword, with a hat covering his face and a black haori on his body. His chest rose and fell in an orderly manner, as if he had fallen asleep.

The other four ronin stared at the traveler who seemed to be sleeping under the sword.

The four ronin each have their own characteristics.

A man of great stature.

One is short.

A plump person.

A thin man.

"Hey, listen to me." The thin ronin suggested softly, "Why don't we wake him up and let him join our conversation?"

"Well, I think we should forget it." The tall ronin shook his head. "He has already fallen asleep. It would be rude to disturb him."

"That's right." The short ronin at the side agreed, "Before you figure out someone's personality, it's best not to provoke him for no reason. Maybe he is the kind of person who hates being disturbed. Let him sleep quietly, let him sleep, and we can talk about our business."

Suddenly, a cold wind blew into the temple through the tattered paper windows.

"Well……"

"so cold……"

"This weather is terrible..."

"Hiss...my teeth are starting to chatter..."

The four ronin wrapped their clothes tightly around themselves, rubbing their hands together or blowing on them to warm them. The cold air grew thicker, as if it was going to freeze everything.

This place is located on a high mountain, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large.

Even though it was already the summer festival, everyone still felt as if it was winter.

"Luckily, we found this abandoned ancient temple tonight... If it weren't for this ancient temple, we would probably have frozen to death here tonight."

"There's no need to express such sentiments." The fat ronin said unhappily, "Hurry up and think of a way to block up all these windows."

"We don't have the tools or materials to paste paper, and there are no wooden boards or anything like that here." The thin wanderer smiled helplessly, "It's impossible to block it, so just bear with it for a while tonight. Let's get closer together, so we can stay warmer."

"Obviously, there is nothing here. I have already looked." The fat wanderer shook his head and said, "There is nothing here at all."

"This damn world is like this." The tall ronin cursed inwardly, "I'm afraid that looking back at all of history, this is probably the most chaotic era."

"I never thought that I would become a ronin one day..." the short ronin at the side continued, "I don't know how long this wandering life will last..."

The four of them tacitly agreed not to ask each other why they became ronin.

Because they all know that those who escape from their clan and become ronin must have some unspeakable reasons.

So they all tacitly remained silent on this issue and did not expose each other's scars.

"In today's world, morality has collapsed and demons are rampant." The thin ronin said softly, "Even ordinary people can't survive."

"But I heard that the bandits in Shanyue were dealt with again. It is said that all the 300 people in the village had their limbs broken. The situation is extremely tragic."

"Yamayuki? Isn't that the extremely dangerous thief from Nakajima County? Who did it?" the short ronin asked in surprise.

"Who else could it be?" The thin ronin exhaled into his mouth and said, "Except for the dragon-slaying swordsman who has recently gained great fame in Owari, who else could do such a thing?"

"Is this true?" The tall ronin was a little bit incredulous. "Didn't they say that the other party was just a kid who looked only in his teens?"

"Don't underestimate a teenager." The short ronin retorted, "Even the famous Tsukahara Bokuden was already very successful when he was a teenager." (Tsukahara Bokuden: The strongest swordsman in the Warring States Period, who rose to prominence when he defeated his opponent in a duel at the age of sixteen at Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto. He is the founder of the "Shinto-ryu" (Kashima Shinto-ryu).)

"That's different!" the tall ronin couldn't help but retort.

"What's the difference? Don't look down on everyone in the world." said the short ronin at this time.

"But speaking of which, this dragon-slaying swordsman has really made a name for himself recently." The fat ronin suddenly remembered something. "He just killed the notorious monster Red Tongue a while ago, and last time he defeated the famous villain, Yamadou Goemon, and he also wiped out a lot of bandits on Mount Xiuming."

"The most important thing is that he did all these things without asking for any compensation. He is truly an extraordinary person."

"Hearing what you said, it seems that the other party is just like the saint that those Western missionaries talked about." The tall ronin couldn't help but say, "Does such a person really exist?"

"Of course, he is a dragon-slaying swordsman."

The ronin who was lying on the ground at this time, who did not participate in the conversation, couldn't help but get goose bumps when he heard what these people said.

"Partner, it looks like those people are discussing you." Jilongjian couldn't help but laugh at this time. Even Jilongjian found it a little funny when he heard these people's discussion.

"Damn it, Dragon Slayer? Which bastard gave me such a tasteless title!"

Beichen Xiao cursed inwardly.

If he knew which bastard gave him such a nickname, he would make that person pay!

"Ah Qiu!"

At this time, the village chief, who was about to go to sleep in a village, sneezed violently.

"Strange, you're old, are you catching a cold?"

Volume 1: Chapter 290: Can the protagonist still be called the protagonist if he doesn’t act cool?

"Let's not talk about who the Dragon Slayer is. Isn't it said that he would provide food to poor people for free?"

"Where on earth did he get all that money and food?"

At this time, the tall ronin raised his doubts.

You have to know that ancient Japan was very poor, and even the aristocracy had very little food to eat.

Ordinary people could survive on thin porridge, which was already quite good.
