Sunday, May 4th, afternoon, Yulong Temple.

Hattori pulled Kazuha out of the room where they were being held, and arrogantly called out to the masked man who captured him, but as soon as he came out and found the masked man in a courtyard, he was immediately a little dumbfounded.

The monk who received Yamazaki and them went up and saluted, "Donor, please don't make a loud noise, may I ask what you are doing here?"

"Shall we come?" cried Hattori, "and we didn't come of our own free will. ”

Looking at the knife shaking in Hattori's hand, the monk sweated down, "Donor, please put the knife down." ”

"Uh......" Hattori embarrassedly put the knife behind him.

"That's right, Pingji, it's the host. He Ye said, "I heard the two people who sent you into the room mention the host. ”

"Then call you to preside. Hattori said to the monk with the hair.

"This ......" the monk hesitated.

At this time, Yamazaki and the others appeared, and without waiting for Kazuha to shout happily, Mei Daiko asked first, "Hey, you two, what's going on?"

Hattori understood, pretending not to know, "What's the matter with you, don't be nosy." ”

"Hey?" and Ye were stunned, and then found that Hattori was writing on his hand, and he didn't know it, but he understood it for a while.

Dr. Asa asked, "Little Master, are they here to study too?"

"We're here to settle accounts with the host. Hattori said.

"This guy is a coward, he hides and hides, and he will only sneak up on him from behind. "He Ye said, which means that I was attacked from behind at that time.

"That's because you're too alert. ”

A man walked out of the main hall, wearing an ordinary mask.

"Host. All the people in the courtyard saluted.

"Put your knife down, and you're leaving. The host said.

Hattori said, "It's not that easy to think like nothing happened. ”

"Nothing happened. The host said as he descended the steps, "I didn't think about what to do to you. ”

Looking at the way he walked, Yamazaki thought to himself, this should be Saijo Taihe, the owner of the antique bookstore, but Yoshijingryu's walking state should be lighter, so he is a halfway monk.

"And what about my crystal beads?" Hattori asked, "Also, did Miss Chiga Rei also be arrested?"

"I think you may have misunderstood, Miss Chiga Ling is not here. The host said, "Your crystal bead is actually a white quill, and I just want to return it to its original owner." ”

"Returned to its original owner?" Hattori was stunned.

"I'm sorry, and Miss Ye. The host said, "The reason why you came here with Miss Ye is that I just want to lead Hattori Pingji to have a good fight, but unfortunately, Hattori Pingji is nothing more than that." ”

"Heiji Hattori?"

"I said it looks familiar. ”

"I could see that his dark skin was too recognizable. ”

"He's the Kansai detective. ”

"I heard that he beat up the Osaka Prefecture police. ”

"That's what they gave him, who made Lao Tzu the head of Osaka Prefecture. ”

But this time, he is known as the first kendo among Kansai high school students. ”

"The host is really amazing. ”……

Everyone in the courtyard was talking for a while.

"Shut up, y'all. Hattori said angrily, and then said to the host, "Don't push everything away, I figured it out, the reason why I lost was on the grass, and if we have the ability, we will fight on the flat ground." ”

"It's all the same there, you're no match for me at all. The host said.

"I don't think you dare. Hattori said, "I'm afraid I'll expose you for what you really are." ”

"My true face?" said the host, "everyone here knows my true face. As he spoke, he took off his mask and revealed a face, which was Saijo Ogawa.

"How could it be him?" Dr. Asa was taken aback.

"Now it's time for us to show the stuffing. He Ye said.

"We didn't say that we didn't know each other. Mei Daiko smiled.

"That's right. He Ye smiled.

Hattori said: "It turned out to be you, now I understand, the murderer who killed the six of them is you, you turned out to be one of the Genji Hotaru thieves, you killed them for your escape from the past, no, you dare to show your face, it means that there is no one in the Genji Hotaru Thieves Group except you, and there is a seventh person, and his body has not been found so far." ”

"I don't know what you're talking about. Saijo Taiga said.

"You know in your heart," Hattori said, "that you set fire to Sakura's house because you had a close relationship with him, and you were afraid that he would suspect your identity and leave clues, but unfortunately you don't know that Yamanoji has received a secret message indicating that their lost Buddha statue is in Gyuryuji." ”

"The Buddha statue of Sanno Temple is missing?"

"It can't be the three Buddha statues that will soon appear, right?"

"I heard that I live once in twelve years. ”……

The people in the courtyard began to talk again, but soon fell silent.

"It's far-fetched that the code can solve a jade character, and a jade character can't mean that it is the Jade Dragon Temple. Saijo Taiga said.

Hattori asked: "Then you just said, Bai Hao, the thing is returned to the original owner, do you still want to quibble that the Buddha statue is not in your hands?"

"The Buddha statue is in my hands and is now in my home. Saijo Taiga said.

"Since it's in your hands. Hattori asked, "Then why don't you return it to Sannoji in the morning?"

Saijo Taiga said: "I also recently learned that the Buddha statue was lost in Sannoji Temple, and I found in the magazine that you have a white howell in your hand, so I want to take the white hou in your hand and send it to Sannoji Temple." ”

Hattori said, "It's a good thing to say, grab it and sell it somewhere else." ”

"Looks like my actions have misled you. Saijo Taiga said, "I'm sorry, but because you're Hattori Heiji, I'm just having itchy hands for a while." ”

"Then I'm itching my hands now, come here, let me beat you up first to relieve my anger. Hattori said.

"Okay, if you don't give up like this, then I'll fight with you. Saijo Taiga said, and then ordered the monk to fetch two wooden swords.

At this time, Yuanzi, Lan, and Conan came up.

"Kazuha, it's great that you're okay. Lan said happily.

"It's okay, it was Pingji who rescued me. Kazuha was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, that's not right," the garden teased, "is there something going on?"

"Why? Kazuha blushed and turned his head.

Can we talk about these things later?" Conan asked, "Dr. Asasa, what's going on now?"

"It's just that he doesn't admit anything, and now Hattori wants to fight him. Dr. Asasa said.

"He?" Conan looked at and saw that it was Saijo Taiga standing across from Hattori, "It turned out to be him." ”

At this time, the monk with the hair brought two wooden swords, Hattori put down the demon sword in his hand, and asked casually, "This Muramasa was also stolen by your Genji Hotaru thieves, right?"

"You're mistaken again, there are a lot of Muramasa," said Saijo Taiga, "There is a national treasure in the Tokyo Museum with an inscription that says Seshu Kuwana Muramasa Masasa is a national treasure, and it doesn't mean that all Muramasa are national treasures, and at the end of the Muromachi period, the swordsmiths of the Muramasa faction were active in the Ise and Tokaido regions, and many of the generals of the Tokugawa family had a Muramasa sword, so it's not surprising that I have one at all." ”

"As for the world-famous demon sword Muramasa, there is one in the Tokugawa family's art museum, but it is said that it was made later, and there is one in the hands of Prince Arisugawa Miyashihito, which is said to have been lost by Tokugawa Ieyasu during the attack on Sanada Yukimura in the Osaka Summer Battle, and it is said that the history can be traced back from Saigo Masataka in the late Edo period to Yui Masayuki, the mastermind of the Keiyasu Revolution in the early Edo period. ”

"And although my village is known as a demon knife, it is of unknown origin, a knife with no history, just a knife. ”

"You can really say that. Hattori said, "But after talking about it for a long time, it doesn't prove that this has nothing to do with the Genji Hotaru Thieves." ”

"I didn't say it, it was said in the book," said Saijo Taiga, "I'm a bookseller, and I've read some books." He continued, "The practice method of the Yijingliu is what I found out from the ancient books, and what I am doing now is to promote the Yijingliu to everyone." ”

"That's a nice thing to say. Hattori said, "It's not because you want me to be distracted, so I can sneak up." ”

"It's not a sneak attack, it's taking advantage of the situation, when you are defenseless in the face of the enemy, you are preempted and you are at a disadvantage, it's not your enemy's fault, it's your own fault. Saijo Taiga said.

"There's still a reason for the sneak attack, and it's really thick-skinned. Hattori said.

"The biggest difference between ancient martial arts and modern martial arts is that ancient martial arts are more pragmatic and direct. Saijo Taiga said, "The purpose is to win, because in ancient times, the two sides of the confrontation were only life and death, the winner lived, and the loser died." ”

"It's modern times. Hattori said.

"So I'm using a wooden sword, so you're still alive. Saijo Taiga said.

"You ......," Hattori muttered.

"Be careful. Yamazaki and Midaiko said.

At the same time, Saijo Taiga suddenly attacked, and Hattori, who was a beat slower, could only resist in the face of Saijo Taiga's continuous attacks.

After blocking a few swords, Hattori steadied his footsteps and jumped back to temporarily avoid the edge, and Hattori jumped about one meter and a half backwards, but this distance was still too close.

Saijo Taiga took an arrow step, swung his sword and slashed straight at it, and immediately circled Hattori into the attack range.

Hattori could only continue to block, unstable under his feet, and could only keep retreating, retreating, and retreating, not only did not exchange space, but became more at a disadvantage.

Mei Daizi said: "This guy has good basic skills. ”

Yamazaki said: "Yoshijingliu is really good to use. ”

The garden cried, "Hey, which side of you two?" ”

Mei Daizi smiled: "Don't worry, although Hattori is embarrassed, he has already won, but it is more ugly to win, because this is flat land, he can keep retreating." ”

"Really?" and Ye asked.

Yamazaki said: "The attacker consumes more physical strength than the defender, judging from Mr. Saijo's breathing, he can only produce about three hundred swords in such a continuous attack, and now there are sixty-one swords, and Hattori is a vigilance stream, stable defense, durable battle, and it is not a problem to take the rest of the swords." ”

"That's right. Lan said.

"Then there's no other way?" asked Conan.

"Yes. Mei Daizi laughed loudly, "Jumped back about seventy centimeters and fell to the ground and lifted her feet......"

Hattori did it, and then kicked at the vital part of Saijo Taiga, who was following, and Saijo Taiga's wooden sword was still some distance away from Hattori's body.

The men in the field were collectively sweating, and it hurt to see it.

"It's—this can't be. Saijo Taiga fell on Hattori with his hands on his hands, and rolled to the side.

"Host. "Some people stepped forward and helped Saijo Taiga up.

"Don't worry, this is your flaw, not the flaw of the righteous scripture. Yamazaki said, " The reason why Hattori can hit you first is because of his height, and the height of Gen Yoshijing is only about 150 cm, and he is much faster than you when attacking from below, and secondly, because of the weapon, Hattori only needs to raise his legs, but you have to swing the sword, and the attack distance is different, but if it is Gen Yoshijing, he is holding a short knife of 53 cm, in the face of such an attack, at the moment of pursuit, you can close the knife and the front of you, and directly cut off the opponent's legs, without choosing to attack from above or from the side, of course, if you chase slowly, you can also use a long knife to cut the opponent's legs, but you will not choose this。 ”

"Anyway, I'm the one who wins now. Hattori said.

"By the way. Mei Daiko said, "If it is the source of the Yoshijing, within nine swords can take Hattori's life, his body is lighter and more flexible and faster, he will not press you to fight, but around you, using the force of the collision between the sword and the sword, so that you have to stay in place to defend, and he will use the eight swords to divert your defense, and at the time of the ninth sword, the sword will be drawn from your left rear side, and a sword will pierce your heart." ”

Hattori said angrily: "Then you let him come out, and we will fight." ”

"Nonsense, that guy committed suicide hundreds of years ago. Mei Daizi said, "Speaking of which, the reason why he committed suicide was because he practiced the Righteous Sutra. ”

"Why is that?" asked Saijo Taiga.

"Yuan Yijing's swordsmanship is strong, but swordsmanship needs to be close, his brother was powerful at that time, how could he get close to his brother's side, Yuan Yijing is strong in swordsmanship, but he can't open a strong bow, so he can't shoot a bow to assassinate his brother from a distance. Mei Daizi said, "Yuan Yijing can't kill his brother, his brother will always send people to hunt him down, and he will only have one way to die in the end, and he will die early and be freed." ”

"I see. Saijo Taiga said.

"If the practice of the Yuan Yijing is focused on strength, then he may still be able to use a strong bow to kill his brother and then take over the world, but unfortunately when the Yuan Yijing chooses the Yi Sutra, he is doomed. Mei Daizi said, "Of course, no one knows what will happen in advance, maybe Gen Yoshitsune practiced the school of heavy power, and he was killed early in the morning." ”

"Thank you for the advice. Saijo broke away from the crowd and stepped forward to salute.

"I don't dare to give advice, just talk about it. "Mei Daiko is a little embarrassed.

Yamazaki whispered: "You should be a monk halfway, and then practice the Yi Jing Stream, your body is not suitable for practicing the Yi Jing Stream, you had better re-practice the sword foundation of a Shinto Stream, and then integrate into the Ancient Yi Sutra Stream to create your own Yi Jing Stream." ”

Saijo Taiga said excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. for your teachings. Then he asked, "But does the Shinto stream mean that the gods really pass incense and take the Shinto stream?"

"All the head-to-head duels are considered to be in the Shinto stream, and the rest belong to the Yin stream. Yamazaki whispered, "Also, the tengu is a mysterious monster in the eyes of the world, this subconscious, including yourself, the more you meditate, the farther and farther away from the righteous path of the world, such depression is likely to make people suffer from mental illness, you better change something to meditate, it is not suitable for the present world." ”

"Yes, yes, sir. "The sweat of the Great River of Saijo has come down.

"Finally," Yamazaki whispered, "if you really break the Fa, if you can't convince your own true heart, then turn yourself in as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be good for your cultivation." ”

"......" Saijo Taiga was silent.

Yamazaki said: "Choose to practice or choose life, it's completely up to you, think about it carefully." ”

"I will, sir. Saijo Taiga said.

"Alright, let's go, we can get home and get to work. Yamazaki said to Maidiko.

"Oh. "Then let's go." ”

"Just gone?" asked the garden.

"We're not police and don't have the authority to investigate anything. Yamazaki said, "As for Hattori and Kazuha, if you want to care about him imprisoning you, then you can stay, and when the police come, they won't do anything to you, but Hattori, I have to remind you that the kick you just made was seen by everyone here, and it is small for you to pay millions of yen, so you had better settle these two things privately." ”

"......" Hattori looked at Mei Daiko speechlessly.

Midaiko hurriedly pointed at Conan, "I'm answering his question." ”

Conan straightened his triangular eyes, what does this have to do with me, who told Hattori that you have to fight, and no one forced you to use this trick.

"Okay, let's all go," said Dr. Asasa, "as the saying goes, if you can run a monk, you can't run away from the temple." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Motota.

"That is to say, the monk is gone, but the temple is still there. Mitsuhiko said.

Ayumi asked, "But, the monk is gone, what's the use of asking for a temple?"

"It means that the monk himself will return to the temple, as long as he waits for the rabbit. Lan said.

"What's it about waiting for a rabbit?" asked Yuantai.

"It means to wait until the rabbit comes. Conan said.

"What if the rabbits don't come?" asked Motota.

"I know, just use carrots. Mitsuhiko said, "Rabbits like carrots the most." ”

"No, no, no. Ayumi said, "The little rabbits in the school can only eat grass and rabbit food, not vegetables. ”

"Oh, that's within 90 days of age. Mei Daiko smiled.

"Because their digestive organs are not yet perfect, they need to be mainly pasture, supplemented by rabbit food. The garden said.

"You can't eat juicy vegetables and fruits, it can cause diarrhea in bunnies. He Ye said.

"Rabbits of this age should eat less and eat more often, rather less than more, and rather single than mixed. Lan said.

"Feed before bedtime. Gray Yuan said.

Then, the topic became how to feed rabbits, and Yamazaki, Hattori, Conan, and Dr. Asa were all speechless, where did this go?......
