I was in silence when Ito said, "Mr. Wang Huan, these are the only clues I know, I don't know if it will help you." ”

I looked up and said, "Have you been in the cottage in front?"

"Nope. Ito shook his head and said, "We arrived at the outskirts of the cottage three days ago. I meant to move on around the cottage. According to the ancestral accounts, the place where they encountered the shaman's curse was supposed to be on a mountain with no vegetation. This is clearly not the place described by the ancestors. ”

Ito Makoto paused and said, "However, we haven't been able to leave the cottage after three days of walking around the neighborhood, and no matter what means we use, we will eventually be sent to the door of the cottage, as if this cottage is going to force us to enter." ”

I looked at the cottage from afar and said, "Have you encountered ghosts along the way, or have you encountered a life-threatening monument?"

"Nope. "I don't know what you're talking about, but we didn't encounter any ghosts along the way. However, the ancestor once said, don't trust the people you meet in the flat sky and sea, they may not be alive. ”

Ito's words were the same as what Old Man Sun said. Is Pingtianhai really a place where the dead can be resurrected?

I looked at the cottage for a long time before I said, "Enter the cottage." ”

"No!" said the ninja standing behind Ito in pure Chinese, "It's too dangerous to enter the cottage casually. If the young master must enter, please allow his subordinates to investigate first. ”

Ito shook his head and said, "Since we have decided to cooperate with Mr. Wang Huan, then I should personally participate in every step of the plan, which is the basis of cooperation." We entered the cottage with Mr. Wang Huan. ”

After Lu Xinyao translated the words, I couldn't help but look at Ito Mako. Why should he listen to me? From the beginning of the cooperation, the other party should be the leader, and it is never something that a superior should do.

Ito didn't pay attention to his subordinate's suggestion, but gestured to me "please first". When Ye Xun and I walked towards the cottage at the same time, we kept paying attention to Ito's men. There are more than 30 people on the other side, and every 10 people are led by one person, and the three teams of people and horses are marching alternately, which is quite orderly, and you can see at a glance that this is a long-term team.

It wasn't until all of Ito's men appeared in my sight that I set my sights on the cottage. Although the cottage is in disrepair, the Juyi Hall in the middle is extremely well preserved.

I walked around the hall: "Ito, spread your people apart and see if you can find any clues." ”

Ito nodded and dispersed, while I walked towards the back of the cottage. In my memory, Liuzi must have run in that direction. But there is nothing behind the cottage except for a cliff that is difficult to climb, and even if the sixth son is not crazy, it is difficult to get out of here.

I was about to turn around, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw a strip of cloth in a crevice in the rock. I took two steps and slowly pulled out the strip of cloth, but I couldn't help but be stunned, the strip of cloth was not the same as the clothes on Liuzi's body, and he got into the crack in the stone?

I couldn't help but look up at the gap in the rock, and there was only the sun on the rock. The white sun made it impossible to open my eyes, and I couldn't see what was above the rocks, so I had to retreat into the distance. But no matter how far I retreated, all I could see was the peaks of the mountains with the sun on their heads.

The sun in the sky seemed to be forcibly pressed against the sword-shaped peak, and the whitish sunlight covered the peak like flowing water, covering the peaks in the middle of the mountain.

When I was staring at the mountain peak, Ye Xun quietly walked behind me: "What are you looking at?"

I handed the strip of cloth to Ye Xun: "Did you find Liuzi over there?"

"Nope. Ye Xun lowered his voice and said, "I always feel that the little devil is unreliable." I don't think all of those people are soldiers. ”

I whispered, "We'll have to work with them for the time being......"

As I was talking, I heard footsteps approaching and quickly shut my mouth. Lu Xinyao, who walked from behind me, said, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Ito, please go over and see something." ”

When I followed Lu Xinyao into the Justice Hall, I saw Ito Zhen and the ninja looking at something around the only table in the Justice Hall, and when he saw me coming, he quickly stepped out of the way: "Mr. Wang Huan, you look here." ”

Ito was referring to a series of extremely strange symbols carved on the table, which at first glance looked like Taoist runes, but when you look closely, they are very different from them. I turned my head to look at Ye Xun, and he also shook his head slightly.

Ye Xun is a Taoist disciple, since he shook his head, it means that the things on the table have nothing to do with Taoism.

Ito said, "This is the rune that Japanese onmyoji are used to. If I'm not mistaken, there should have been a very clever onmyoji here. The meaning of this cipher text is that the gates of hell will open at midnight. ”

I looked at Ito: "Are you an onmyoji?"

"It's not. "Ito Makoto, "My ancestor has been in contact with the Onmyoji for a long time, and I have also learned some ciphers of the Onmyoji's contact, so I can understand the meaning. ”

I stepped forward and touched the table twice: "Mr. Ito, are you interested in seeing the gates of hell that open at midnight?"

"This ......," Ito Zhen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Since Mr. Wang Huan thinks this is a clue, we might as well stay and take a look." ”

With the ninja waving, the Ito samurai quickly surrounded the Gathering Hall, and even after the roof was arranged with manpower, the door of the Gathering Hall was closed, and only a few of us were left in the room.

I sat casually on the ground: "Ito-ma, I want to ask you a question. As far as I know, the Kwantung Army once fought the idea of the Jin Daxian Temple, and even moved the statue of Jin Daxian away, why did they send the statue back in the end?"

Ito shook his head and said, "I don't know about this matter, and my ancestor has never mentioned it. ”

I was disappointed when the ninja said, "I've heard some about this. The old lord did take away the statue in the immortal temple back then, but he quickly returned it, but he changed the sitting position of the statue to a kneeling position. The head of the family once asked the old man about the reason, and the old man only said that he wanted to verify one thing. ”

The status of ninjas in Japan is not as high as that realized in later films, television, and comics. If the samurai are called the retainers of the Japanese lord, then the ninja can only be called domestic slaves. The ninja in front of me is probably the Ito family's house slave.

I asked in a deep voice, "Didn't Ito Akikawa say that he wanted to verify something?"

"Nope. The ninja shook his head, "The only thing I know is that the statue that was sent back was actually a corpse. As for who the original owner of the corpse was, the old lord never mentioned it. ”

"Corpses, corpses of the Japanese?" I saw the ninja nod, and it dawned on me. No wonder the statue was changed to a kneeling position, it turned out that Ito Akikawa moved his hands and feet.

The ninja on the other side suddenly raised his head, and the arm that was hanging by his side suddenly grabbed the long knife behind him.

I jerked my head up, only to see a string of red liquid falling from the beams.

My first reaction was human blood.

I pulled out my pistol and fired two shots at the roof, but the blood on the roof flowed down like running water, but the Ito Takeshi who was guarding outside did not react.

Ye Xun and Ito Zhen drew their swords at the same time, but the door of the Gathering Hall opened in an instant, and the starlight spread from outside the door to the house.

Ye Xun and I couldn't help but gasp. It was noon before we entered the door, and the longest conversation between me and Ito Mao would not exceed ten minutes, but how could the sun and the moon suddenly change outside the door and become midnight?

When I looked out in the direction of the gate, Ito's men had all gathered in the open space in the middle of the cottage and sat motionless around a bonfire.

The blazing fire should have illuminated all the people, but all I saw were half-light and half-dark figures. All the samurai seated around the fire seemed to be split in two parts by the firelight, one half covered in blood-red by the flames, and the other in the shadows of the night.

Ye Xun suddenly whispered, "Look at their clothes." ”

"Clothes?" I looked at the samurai in front of me, and the half of the man's clothes sunk in the dark shadow not only changed into the Japanese military uniform of World War II, but also slowly moved to the other half of his body, and the other person's face slowly changed into a different appearance under the impetus of the black shadow. At first glance, it seems that the samurai is slowly being eroded and replaced by another person, and I believe that it will not be long before he will be replaced by a Japanese soldier who has already died in the sea of Pingtian.

I couldn't help but raise my gun to aim at the other party, but suddenly there was a sound of pulling the bolt behind me.

The ninja didn't know when he snatched the 38 big cover from Li Yong's hand, raised his gun and aimed at the samurai who was facing us, and pulled the trigger. The red light from the bullet passed through the center of the opponent's eyebrows, and then turned into a puff of blood that flew up from the back of the opponent's head, but the samurai who had been shot through the head by the bullet rolled his eyes to look at us.

At this moment, the ninja pushed the bolt of the gun again, hitting the other man in the heart. The bullet pierced through the opponent again, and the man fell to the ground. At the same time, all the warriors gathered around the fire turned their heads to look at the Gathering Hall, and more than thirty yin and yang faces filled my vision for a moment.

"Shoot!" Ye Xun and I raised our guns at the same time, but the door of the Gathering Hall closed in front of our eyes, and all the bullets that shot out of the muzzles of our guns fell on the door.

Ye Xun and I only fired two shots and released the trigger at the same time, but Li Yong and Li Ran were like crazy, holding pistols and shooting wildly at the gate, and in a short moment, the gate was beaten by two people.

I yelled, "You two stop me!"
