Eight Star Sword acquired.
「八宝刀」を入手しました。
If you're sure about entering the hutongs, you'll want to take this. It's the Eight Star Sword. This sword is preloaded with three elements of malice for you, but it wasn't made for absorption. It's no Seven Star Sword, but the mirror merchant already took that.
気になるんなら、行ってみてくれないか…念のため、これを持って行くといい。八宝刀だ。この刀には、すでに3つの属性の邪気がため込んである。ただし、こいつは七宝刀の代わりだ。本物の刀は鏡屋が持って入ったよ。
The Eight Star Sword is a substitute sword that can't absorb evil.
If you encounter a guilü, shoot at it with the malice loaded in the sword. That's how we cleanse the hutongs of those vengeful ghosts.
The hutongs are a maze, so hire a navigator to keep from getting lost.
If you'd like to know more about navigators, ask the mainspring merchant.
八宝刀では邪気を吸い込めない。あくまで代用品だよ。
鬼律を探して、刀にたまっている邪気をぶつけてやるんだ。それで、鬼律の邪気を打ち消すことができる。そうやって、胡同の中をきれいにしていくんだ。
胡同の中は複雑だ…迷いたくないならナビが雇えるが…
詳しいことは、ぜんまい屋にでも聞いてくれ。
