The outside of the Kyoto tofu shop had been cleaned up, the cracked doors and windows were covered with cardboard, and several police officers kept order, and two hours later, the tofu shop was reopened.

Not only did it open, but many old customers rushed over directly after receiving the news and started eating and drinking lively.

Mo Xiangsi sighed: "Dou Yaju has a history of more than 100 years, and these guests don't want to close this tofu shop because of this incident, so they took the initiative to come to cheer. โ€

"Is it so humane?" Mei Yinxue shook her head.

Mo Xiangsi smiled: "You are wrong, this is not a human touch, but a kind of protection of 'beauty', in the eyes of these guests, Dou Yaju is a place where 'tofu' can be made into a work of art, so these people must protect this 'beauty'!"

As he was talking, he saw the son of the founder of Dou Yaju, now an old man in his eighties, dressed in full costume, kneeling beside the store with the heir of the tofu shop, holding a terrible white towel in his hand, and gently but respectfully polishing the shoes of all the guests.

Mei Yinxue was already stunned.

"Beauty-loving and martial, courteous and aggressive, new-minded and stubborn, obedient but not tamed...... The contradictions that run through the DNA of the entire Japanese people. โ€

"Reputation is the lifeblood of the Japanese people, and the descendants of Douyaju did not hesitate to grovel to invite customers to cheer for the reputation of this tofu shop, and the customers did not hesitate to risk their lives to protect this best tofu shop. โ€

Mei Yinxue interrupted Mo Xiangsi's words: "What do these things have to do with us?"

"It's a big deal, you have to know the people of this country to get things done here, and I have a hunch that we're going to be here in Kyoto for a long time. โ€

Mei Yinxue sneered: "I only saw that these people are very perverted! โ€

Mo Xiangsi only smiled.

Li Ji has already arrived, and she has changed into a set of clothes, a very formal kimono, and I don't know where I got it.

"Miss, Mr. Shibei has agreed to meet. โ€

Mo Xiangsi nodded: "The person you want to meet is an intelligence broker, you can give him a little material when necessary, he is a person who naturally likes to do business!"

Rihime got into the car and soon arrived at Sanzen-in Temple in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto.

It is the least densely populated area in Kyoto and is also home to a famous concentration of temples, with Sanzen-in Temple being the largest temple in Kyoto.

When she came down, she took off her shoes at the door and put on the straw shoes that the temple had prepared for guests.

Sanzen-in Temple in winter is by no means a suitable place to play, with a thin layer of snow covering the moss, and as far as the eye can see, there is only a pale patch in the quiet temple and the silent lights.

It was such a cold day, in such silence, that there was still a pious old woman, carrying a sachet in her hand, walking slowly along the cobblestone road.

Oda Jubei was already standing at the gate of the second courtyard, standing in front of a lovely stone statue of Jizo Buddha, and there was a tablet on the right with the words "Bear's Ears Eight Feet" written on it.

"Aren't there snow sweepers here?" asked Li Ji as he walked slowly.

Shibei is a handsome and young man, born in a wealthy Oda family, he has a unique elegant temperament, at this time in proficient Chinese explained: "This is the habit of the temple, but also the wisdom of the masters, this snow covers the moss and grass, it is equivalent to a quilt to protect the most beautiful scenery in the temple, and when the snow melts, the moss appears, and can survive for a long time, even if it is cold in the depths of winter, it can't stop the green." โ€

Li Ji smiled: "Sure enough. โ€

In the introduction of Oda Shibei, the two advanced to the large lecture hall in the north of the temple, there are not many Buddha statues in this lecture hall, and it is very small, completely different from the Chinese Buddhist Temple, just like a toy, the statue of the Buddha is very well protected, just like a brand new.

The most important one is the Yakushi Nyorai Buddha in the temple, and the Dharma lamp in front of the Buddha statue is said to have never been extinguished for more than 400 years since the temple was founded.

"Really never extinguished?" said Lihime smiled.

Oda Jubei took off his coat very gentlemanly and draped it on Lihime: "As far as I know, it has indeed never been extinguished, even the Great Earthquake of Nishikyoto that happened here ninety years ago...... At that time, half of the temple had fallen, but the Buddha lamp was still on. โ€

Li Ji was noncommittal.

The two walked through the lecture hall, and Li Ji slowly followed the man, not talking much, in fact, he was very impatient in his heart.

Finally, we came to Ukimido, a small temple built in the water.

"I have great respect for your young lady!" Standing in this small temple, Oda Shibei said very sincerely: "Last time in the imperial capital of China, when I participated in the six-party talks, I had the honor to have a cup of tea with Miss Mo. โ€

Li Ji frowned.

Compared to the conservative character of the average Japanese, Jubei, who studied abroad as a child, is obviously more direct and bold.

Seeing Li Ji's unhappy expression, the handsome young man stopped talking.

The waxed floor of the small temple began to sink, and then a smell of metal and computer heat dissipation came to the face.

Deeper underground, in the center of the lake, a complex underground structure emerged.

"This is the place where the Nagasawa sisters were once imprisoned, and the CIA sent experts to come in the sixties and took almost all the experimental materials with them, and the Nagasawa sisters escaped soon after. โ€

Oda Jubei looked at the crowded laboratory, and the man in the white coat was searching every corner.

"This place was built sixty years ago, and the elevator and mechanical structure just now were also sixty years ago?" Li Ji was a little surprised.

Oda Jubei looked proud: "Seventy years ago, my country had reached such a level in terms of mechanical structure, and this is the work of Sumitomo Heavy Industries, so perfect, after seventy years, it can still be used." โ€

Li Ji has lost interest in chatting: "I only need one thing, it's ......"

She walked to the location where she could see the entire laboratory, then looked up and looked carefully, then pointed to a magic tablet in the metal and wood board: "This is it!"

Oda Jubei groaned.

According to the information he obtained, Mo Xiangsi seems to have the ability to extract "time images" from items.

Time Image...... It was the name given by the experts of the Cabinet Intelligence Department, and it took the experts to explain it for a long time before Jubei roughly understood what happened in the era of this item, and it was engraved in the object for special reasons, and the image in time was extracted through mysterious spells.

"Yes!" Shibei readily agreed, then turned his head to signal, and someone came over to take a picture of the god card.

The iron tablets are so well preserved in this underground that there are no traces of rust on the edges now, and perhaps someone has taken care of them, because this tablet is not simple, but a sacred tablet protected by the emperor of that era.

After taking pictures and inspecting the god card, it was completely wrapped, and the packaging was very exquisite, and it was handed to the ten soldiers.

Shibei's expression was solemn: "Our request is also very simple, all the clues obtained from this god card, including the time image, need to be shared with us." โ€

Li Ji nodded: "I can agree on behalf of Miss." โ€

Shibei shook his head and took out his mobile phone: "Please call your young lady, I need her to confirm this deal personally, sorry, this is my bottom line." โ€

This is a very reasonable request, and it is needed by the ten guards who are good at trading.

Li Ji didn't answer the phone, she just looked at it coldly, she was not a stupid person, and the position of the young lady in Kyoto absolutely needed to be kept secret.

Shibei smiled and took back his mobile phone: "If you don't worry, you can use your mobile phone to contact, well, we have already conducted a surprise interrogation of Yanagawa Chixia over there, and we have obtained a lot of useful information." โ€

Li Ji turned around and came to the edge of the underground laboratory, and then took out her mobile phone, an encrypted signal, a special mobile phone.

She dialed the number, and Didi's voice rang out.

The Ten Guards were far away from her, waiting patiently.

Li Ji's mobile phone seemed to be a little hot, maybe because of the time on her body, just when she was about to connect, an electric spark suddenly flashed on the phone, and Li Ji exclaimed.

Overhead, with the sound of running water, a long knife sliced through the metal basement like tofu.

The graceful figure fell, and the camouflage wig, sachet and clothes were thrown off, which turned out to be the disguise of the old woman I had seen in the temple just now.

"Su Wei!" Li Ji reacted and hung up the phone, but she didn't know what Su Wei meant, and her body was pressed against the wall.

All the metal objects in the laboratory flew up, and various metal fragments instantly combined into a long ribbon, mercilessly cutting through the walls around the laboratory, revealing the dense metal and signal amplifiers inside the walls.

Those in white coats had dispersed flexibly, puffs of smoke rising, sword light appearing, and hidden weapons flickering with the sound of the wind.

"Ninja?" said the word in her heart, a legendary ninja.

The magic spear in Su Wei's hand had turned into a long knife, raised it, and with a flick of her wrist, under the five-yuan imperial qi, the flames erupted from the ground, and the cold air and fire light were intertwined, bringing up a strong water vapor, and bursting out with amazing lethality.

The ninjas were screaming and wailing, and the Ten Guards had retreated to the doorway, his hair standing on end, a metal piece holding him up at his feet.

In the mist, a crescent-like but several meters long sword qi appeared, cutting through the dozen ninjas who were blocking the way, and then suddenly turned into two streams of light and pierced the shoulders of the ten guards.

Su Wei mentioned this guy, and the blood mist around her was bounced away by the aura around her, and there was no one alive.

Li Ji only exhaled at this point.

Shibei didn't say a word, Su Wei looked at Li Ji: "You are fooled, the entire laboratory here has been urgently transformed into a signal initiation station, no matter how well your mobile phone is confidential, you still have to pass through the signal area here, they can intercept the amplified signal and directly locate the person who answered the phone, that is, your young lady." โ€

This, Li Ji thought of it, she bit her lip: "I didn't expect them to be so desperate, they actually transformed the entire laboratory, hum, but even if they find the location of the young lady, with the strength of these people, they will also go to die." โ€

Su Wei shook her head: "You are still too light on the enemy, they directly bound the signal to the missile, once the location of Mo Xiangsi is determined, the missile will be launched immediately, the missile launched from the military base in the western Pacific Ocean, this distance will be more than ten seconds!"

"What! This is Kyoto, the root of Japanese culture, and they're bombing it?"

Shibei raised his head with difficulty and twitched: "You, how do you know?"

Su Wei ignored him, and walked out of the secret room with Li Ji with this guy, the lake had filled the underground secret room, and there was a roaring sound from time to time, which was the sound of sinking.

"Bombing our own country, or Kyoto, where our culture is located, is probably because the target is too tempting. โ€

Li Ji still didn't believe it when she heard Su Wei say this: "Is it so terrible?"

"It's not just Mo Xiangsi, but also Mei Yinxue and Tang Qianye...... These three goals add up to a lot of money!"

Li Ji was a little frustrated: "You've been following me?"

Su Wei was indifferent: "I'm not tracking you, I'm tracking this guy!" she said the Ten Guards who couldn't resist at all.

"You, how did you track it down? and get so much secret information?" Li Ji couldn't believe it, Su Wei arrived a few days earlier than them, and she should have no connections in Japan, how did she do all this?

"Looking back, the most important thing now is to find the Changze sisters through this guy!" Su Wei quickly walked outside with Shibei in his arms: "Now we have to race against time, whoever finds the old man first will have the initiative......"
