Chapter 836: Famous Spear Tonkiri

In the present world, at Kamiyagawa's house.

Kamiya woke up from the big bed in the master bedroom and quickly got up and went downstairs.

He had to go see what happened to his little apprentice.

Walking quickly to the door of the living room, Kamiyagawa saw that all the ghosts, deer and her shikigami in the house were gathered here.

Also, the Dream-Eating Tapir is in the living room.

Because Kamiya needs to go to Takama-ga-hara to "log out" from the ordinary world, but as Kamiya's Shikigami, Tapir can use Kamiya's body left in the real world as a support, directly appear, and move freely within a certain range.

So she arrived faster than Kamiya.

In the living room——

The little tapir transformed into a human form and sat sideways with its long legs together.

The young apprentice Aoi Tsurumi rested her head on the little tapir's thigh and seemed to be in a deep sleep, but her breathing was very steady.

Next to the two of them was Shikanoya and the small sleeve-handed creature that had taken human form.

The little deer was holding a little sickle-weasel with pink fur in his arms, and was stretching his neck to look at his junior sister's peaceful sleeping face.

The little girl sat quietly with her hands folded in her sleeves, her eyes lowered, quietly observing her master's condition.

By observing the emotional changes in the two of them, we can find that their emotions have changed from their original nervousness and anxiety to stability and curiosity.

In the corner of the living room, Aya, Ohara Sami, and the little kappa Miyako were huddled together.

Caizhi held a crudely carved wooden dragonfly in her hand, and colorful oil paint was flowing down from her hand and the hem of her princess dress.

The three girls tilted their heads and looked at the wooden dragonfly seriously.

"How's Aoi?"

Kamiyagawa walked into the living room.

"It's okay, owner, look, Aoi is sleeping soundly."

The little tapir was the first to answer. While she was speaking, she reached out and smoothed the soft black hair around Tsurumi's ears.

"Is this a question of whether you sleep well or not..." In fact, just by looking at the state of everyone in the living room at this time, and the less tense atmosphere, Kamiya could tell that nothing serious must have happened to Tsurumi, "What happened?"

"Master, let me tell you! Um..."

The little deer spoke quickly.

As someone who had been with Tsurumi the entire time and witnessed the entire incident, she did have a say.

However, he paused as soon as he said this.

Xiaolu was seen hurriedly gathering up several drawings spread out on the small table in front of her and stuffing them all into her handbag.

Her expression was a little guilty, but she tried to straighten it out:

"Xiao Kui was just sitting here, reading notes on the art of controlling spirits. I was reviewing with her! Suddenly, the wooden dragonfly on the TV cabinet fell over, and I smelled a metallic smell coming towards us. Before I could react, Xiao Kui fell down with a thud!"

Perhaps because he had learned from Little Tapir that his junior sister was fine, Kanoyaya relaxed and described what had just happened vividly, using body movements.

Kamiya glanced helplessly at the handbag at the deer's feet, then turned to look at the wooden dragonfly held in the hands of Crayon Aori.

Is it really the influence of that thing?

Tadakatsu Honda's wooden dragonfly.

This old handicraft was a trophy obtained by Kamiya Kawa when he and his two apprentices went out to perform exorcism missions.

It was obtained by the young disciples after defeating two ferocious red basin monsters.

After identification, it was found that the wood dragonfly itself was not a particularly valuable prop. At most, it could be used as a support for weak wandering spirits.

However, considering that the wood carving was made by Honda Tadakatsu, a famous Japanese general in the Warring States Period, it has certain cultural value and collection significance. So after purchasing it, Kamiya Kawa casually placed the wooden dragonfly on the TV cabinet in the living room as a decoration.

"Just now in the Sanzu River..."

Kamiyagawa thought about what happened in the Sanzu River just now.

Xiangyue Xun said that some souls of human heroes who were about to decay but were powerful in their lifetime were guided by the power of Yama's skeleton and passed away first.

Is Honda Tadakatsu among the souls of those human heroes who have passed away?

If we think about it this way, what happens in the ordinary world and in reality is not a coincidence, but a chain reaction.

"So, maybe Honda Tadakatsu's soul left the Sanzu River and was about to pass away, but it came back to this wood sculpture that he carved by himself during his lifetime?" Kamiyagawa thought.

So why did Honda Tadakatsu pull Tsurumi, who was standing next to the wood carving at the time, into the dream?

Is there some unfulfilled wish?

"Tapir, what did Tsurumi dream about?"

"I can take everyone to see Poof."

The tapir gently stroked Tsurumi's head, and then a complex and blurred rainbow light emanated from both of them. The dreamy colorful light spread to all parts of the living room, flickering, making everything around them look dreamy and unrealistic.

Afterwards, the arcs of light went out one by one, and the area around Kamiya and the others suddenly became empty.

Looking at the surroundings, it was no longer the living room at home.

Instead, it is a dry landscape style courtyard with fine raked sand, stone lanterns, evergreen trees, moss and other overlapping decorations, without any modern elements.

Although the little tapir is usually sleepy and not very active, it is particularly attentive to the instructions of its owner Kamiya Kawa.

Because of the owner's words, she brought everyone in the living room directly into Tsurumi's dream, or in other words, she moved the scene in Tsurumi's dream directly into reality.

After becoming a god, the little tapir has become more and more adept at controlling these real and imaginary powers.

……

"here it is?"

Tsurumi Aoi focused her eyes and looked around, and found that she was in a completely unfamiliar environment.

A spacious courtyard with an antique feel.

The ground is covered with white sand, and in one corner of the courtyard stands a uniquely shaped stone group. The dry landscape garden style with a Zen feel is somewhat similar to the courtyard of Yoshikoji's home.

The landscape of this courtyard is clearly clear and vivid, but upon closer inspection, there is a vague sense of unreality.

At this time, Tsurumi was very conscious.

She remembered what had just happened, very clearly—

This afternoon, my senior sister and I had a rare half-day break without having to do any special practice.

As usual, even on his day off, Tsurumi spent his time at Kamiya-sensei's house, but the teacher went to Tsuneyoshi at noon.

Mr. Kamiya is very busy.

Tsurumi was originally staying in the living room of her home with her senior sister. She was looking through the previous notes on knowledge points of the Spirit Control Technique, while her senior sister was sitting beside her drawing.

Painting seems to be one of the ways for my senior sister to relax on a daily basis.

As for Xiaolu's paintings, Tsurumi was also fortunate enough to see them. It was a comic about exorcism.

The protagonist is a young exorcist, a bit like... Mr. Kamiya in his teenage years?

The senior sister drew the little boy protagonist very cutely.

Then, my senior sister is very talented in painting and is very good at drawing comics.

The only drawback is that the hand-drawn comics that Xiaolu showed to Tsurumi were all incoherent. Often after the protagonist encountered the demons and ghosts, turning back to the next page would be the ending of the battle, and the exorcism battle was completely skipped.

Tsurumi also asked why there were no scenes related to the exorcism battle.

But my senior sister never gave a direct answer.

However, Tsurumi didn't dwell on this too much. Considering that drawing comics was just a way for her to pass the time, and that they wouldn't be officially published, it didn't matter what she wanted to draw or how complete the plot was, as long as she was happy.

Anyway, getting back to the topic, this afternoon was supposed to be a very peaceful daily routine of resting at home.

Until that moment just now.

Tsurumi felt a cold wind coming from behind her, and then, as if the scene in a movie changed, she "seamlessly" came to this dry landscape garden.

"Did I leave Kamiya-sensei's house, or... am I dreaming?"

Through observation of the surrounding environment, Tsurumi's judgment of his own situation is more inclined to the latter.

She had had strange and extremely lucid dreams before, about Kamiya River and Mari and the others on the snowy mountains.

I have some experience with dreams affected by supernatural powers.

In addition, I later came into contact with the dream-eating tapir, the lord of dreams, from time to time, so I had more experience in this area.

Since it was a dream, Tsurumi was not too worried about her situation. After all, before she entered the dream, she was staying at Kamiya's house, and the teacher's shikigami, the dream-eating tapir, was now the god who dominated dreams.

I don't think any fantasy can trap her.

Then, Tsurumi checked his own condition again.

The three famous swords Ichimonji, Smiley Aoue, and Hotaru were not around, and because it was difficult for her to learn the art of controlling spirits, she could not sense the existence of the shikigami Kosode. However, she could still feel the blessing of Mary.

In other words, even in a dream, Mary can still calmly bestow her power on Tsurumi.

This kind of dream trick is really not worth mentioning in front of the real God.

Just as the skilled and courageous Tsurumi was considering whether to take the initiative to explore this dream, he suddenly saw a figure slowly emerging under a large pine tree in the corner of the courtyard.

It was a thin and sturdy old man, sitting cross-legged under a tree. He was wearing a jet-black domaru, which was based on black thread and dark Iyoza, with a lot of gold decorations in key places. Even the sleeve armor and leather cuffs looked exquisitely crafted.

The most eye-catching part of the outfit is the pair of black antlers standing on the star-shaped hat on his head.

In addition, there is a square flag next to this old general in black armor.

There is a figure of Zhong Kui painted on the flag.

Tsurumi, who came from a prominent family, had quite a bit of historical knowledge. She felt that the flag should be a horse seal, a marker that indicated the position of a general on the battlefield.

I seem to have read in a book before that generally speaking only samurai who command more than a thousand soldiers are qualified to use horse seals.

A deer horn hat on the head... A Zhong Kui horse seal on the flag...

"Honda Tadakatsu?"

Tsurumi now remembered that there was a dragonfly wood carving by Honda Tadakatsu in the living room of his home.

And thinking back carefully, it seemed that the cold wind that just blew from behind was coming from the direction where the wood carving was placed.

So, the one who brought me into the dream was the Warring States general known as "the unrivaled one in the East"?

"Little baby, you can recognize me."

Honda Tadakatsu slapped his thigh, then stood up from the ground with a laugh.

This famous general of the Warring States period was not tall, and due to his old age, he looked more than half a head shorter than the tall Tsurumi. But even so, Tadakatsu, wearing a gorgeous armor, still had an awe-inspiring aura.

His eyes were sharp, and he nodded continuously as he looked at Tsurumi, seeming to be very satisfied: "Very good, very suitable, just like me back then, you have the heart of a warrior. Little kid, I will teach you how to use a gun."

"With a gun?"

"Yes. If you want to learn, you better hurry up. I don't have much time left here."

Honda Tadakatsu said this and pointed to the wall on one side.

Two long spears were leaning against the white wall at some point. They were typical Japanese large-bodied spears with thick and sturdy heads and huge sizes. They were also large Sassa-spike spears, with spikes like Sassa leaves, pointed at the front, wide in the middle, and narrow at the tail. The spear blades were sharp, reflecting a cold white light.

"Is this Tonkiri? Are there two of them?"

When talking about Honda Tadakatsu, we have to mention Tonomakiri.

This is a famous gun that is as famous as its owner.

Tonomakiri is one of the three famous spears in Japan. It is said that the spear head is so sharp that it can instantly cut off a flying dragonfly even when standing still, hence the name.

This spear was specially made by Tokugawa Ieyasu and presented to Honda Tadakatsu. A fierce general with a sharp spear is naturally more powerful than a tiger with wings. When Honda Tadakatsu was at his peak, he wore a deer helmet, held a Tonomakiri, and wore a Sangoku Kuro on his crotch, and rushed into the enemy camp as if he was in an empty space.

Whenever an enemy sees Tadakatsu's Zhong Kui horse seal, they will shout, "Honda Heihachi the Dragonfly Cutter!"

The enemy troops were then routed.

"Little kid, you know you're in a dream, right? Since it's a dream, it's not strange to see two Tonkiri swords, right? Hehe, when I was young, I could still swing the long handles, but now I'm old, I can't do that anymore."

Honda Tadakatsu said this, his body trembling, and walked to the wall to pick up the short-handled dragonfly.

indeed.

The handles of the two Tombokiri guns are of different lengths.

Regarding the Tonkiri, there is a saying in the world that this legendary spear is a long-handled spear with a handle of six meters. However, this length is controversial, and the real Tonkiri was lost when Honda Tadakatsu's second son Honda Tadatomo participated in the Battle of Osaka. Now there are only imitations of the Tonkiri spear head in the world.

However, the Tonomakiri that Tsurumi saw in his dream now had a long handle of about four meters, while the short handle that Honda Tadakatsu picked up was more than three meters.

As for why two Tonkiri of different lengths appeared in the dream, perhaps another rumor about this famous gun is true -

According to legend, in his later years, Honda Tadakatsu was unable to use the Tonomakiri freely due to the force majeure of his physical decline, so he cut off a part of the handle of the gun.

Considering that this "Unparalleled in the East" seemed to have pulled him into his dream in order to teach him skills, and that the other person was old, Tsurumi had to respect him, so he walked up to him, respectfully said "Please give me your guidance", and then picked up the long-handled Tonomakiri.

Today, Tsurumi already has quite good practical experience in exorcism. She has even fought with Aragami with real swords and guns. Moreover, her talent is obvious. Her fighting skills are second to none in Japan, except for her teacher Kamiya Kawa.

But she was used to using a long sword, so she was a little uncomfortable with using a large gun.

In addition, the Tombskiri is structurally a collar-loaded gun.

After all, Tsurumi's understanding of cold weapons is based on modern thinking.

Looking at the whole world, in the field of cold weapons such as spears, the spears developed in most regions are mainly armored, that is, the spear head has a tube and is directly fixed on the gun barrel.

Only in Japan, the trend was reversed. For quite a long time, the mainstream was the spear-loading type, which means the spear stem was inserted into the top of the gun barrel to fix it. Even more sloppy, the long spears used by the lower-class foot soldiers in the Warring States period did not even have metal barrel sleeves, but directly used hemp ropes, leather strips, etc. to tie the gun head to fix it.

If the tip of the Tonkiri spear is taken out intact, it is nearly 60 centimeters long, almost like a double-edged dagger.

Compared with plate-loaded guns, collar-loaded guns are bound to have the defect of being not strong enough.

However, this point is not reflected at all in the famous spear Tonkiri.

After all, it is one of the three most famous guns in Japan, and Tonomakiri represents the pinnacle of gun-loading skills.

Looking closely at the spear, the spear head is inserted into the metal sleeve, and fixed by the mouth metal and reverse wheel, which fits perfectly. The spear head is carved, and the position of the spear shaft is engraved with Sanskrit inscriptions. The spear handle is decorated with green shell mother-of-pearl, which is colorful and gorgeous, and even the appearance is as gorgeous as a work of art.

This famous spear fully utilized the advantages of a spear-mounted spear, making it easy to grasp the blade and conducive to chopping. At the same time, due to the pinnacle of the stem-insertion technique, the feel of the dragonfly cutting and stabbing is definitely not bad.

Tsurumi has a hobby of collecting all kinds of weapons.

She really likes this Tombstone in her hand!

Tsurumi was still trying to master the Tonkiri technique when Honda Tadakatsu, who was standing opposite with a gun, said, "Little kid, if you like, you can watch it later. We have to hurry up and start."

Afterwards, Honda Tadakatsu shook his body, got into a stance, his eyes full of excitement, and with his pitch-black body, he really looked like an old and strong black tiger.

The deer antler hat on his head is eye-catching, and the dragonfly knife in his hand is even more chilling.

"Watch out - Heihachi the Devil, here I come!" (End of this chapter)
