"Yaga!"

Master Okamoto overturned the wooden table in front of him, and the fruit bowl and wine cup spilled to the floor.

Master Okamoto looked at the east with a red face, and he seemed to be able to feel Wang Zhong's expression of showing off his might there, which was a naked provocation!

Because Wang Zhong unscrupulously used feng shui to destroy Japan's national fortunes, causing Japan's economic turmoil, the emperor even issued a strict order to reprimand Okamoto!

"Let's go, go to South Korea and kill Wang Zhong!"

"Wang Zhong's threat to the Great Japanese Empire is much higher than that of the three mechanized divisions!"

Okamoto's face turned pale, and he said with some annoyance.

"Hayi!"

As Okamoto's words landed, a group of ninjas in nightwear suddenly appeared.

All of them are agile, like swallows, like breathless ghosts, they are the king of Japanese ninjas, Iga ninjas!

Ninjas have been a frightening term since the Warring States period, and it is not their martial arts that are terrifying, but their elusive methods!

Martial arts is only a small part of the "ninjutsu" practiced by ninjas, in addition to the five compulsory subjects of "food, incense, medicine, qi and body", commonly known as the "five ways of ninja".

"Food" refers to the ninja's recipe, in order to lightly haunt the roof of the branches, refining an excellent light skill, qualified ninja weight generally does not exceed 60 kilograms, three meals a day are based on black rice, oats, tofu, and ground taro, but on the other hand, in order to maintain abundant physical strength, so sesame, pine nuts, brown sugar, quail and other foods rich in protein, iron, and vitamins are also indispensable. This recipe coincides with the "low calorie, high nutrition" advocated by modern life. “

"Incense" refers to the ninja's ability to judge the economic situation and status of the other party by the smell on their clothes. But in order to hide his ninja identity. Ninjas often use seven types of transformations, such as merchants, cultivators, and monks, and the spices such as cloves, sandalwood, and cinnamon on display in the "Heritage Hall" are used by them to create different body odors and enhance the authenticity of their transformations. "Medicine". What's more, the ninja is usually also a doctor and medicine expert, skilled in using various plants and herbs from the mountains and forests to heal wounds and diseases. In order to avoid mosquito bites during long periods of incubation, ninjas carry a large amount of insect repellent medicine with them, as well as various medicines such as incense, strong poison, realgar, and epimedium for different tasks.

"Gas". It refers to ninjas who pay attention to self-cultivation so that they can concentrate in actual combat, be decisive and brave, and remain unchangeable. There is a striking resemblance to the cultivation methods of the Wudang School in the Song and Ming dynasties in China.

"Body" refers to the ninja's focus on the exercise of muscles and joints, and at the same time cooperate with meditation, breathing, massage, acupuncture and other recovery methods to train themselves, so as to meet the needs of various martial arts.

In addition to the "Five Ninja Paths" mentioned above. Ninja is also an astronomer and chemist. Watch the starry sky predict the weather and concoct gunpowder and firearms. For example, the unique weapon used by the famous ninja "Sarutobi Sasuke" in history was a assault rifle with a range of 50 meters, which was twice as long as the best bird gun in the Ming Dynasty army, which was known for its firearms at that time. It's a pity that Sarutobi Sasuke later strayed into a trap and was killed, and his mysterious weapon has never been traced since, which is a pity to be cited by Japanese arms history books. The martial arts of the ninja are fundamentally different from the martial arts of the Japanese samurai, and the ninja usually do not use broadswords or spears due to the special tasks they perform, but use short weapons and hidden weapons that are easy to carry.

Legend has it that there was a hidden weapon called "octagonal ling" in the Central Plains martial arts in the Ming Dynasty. Made of pure steel, sharp as a knife. Thin as paper, no more than two inches in size, scattered like a rain of flowers, and fed with highly poisonous, it is very likely to come from the hands of Japanese ninjas. And ninja hand-to-hand combat is also a must, ten fingers like steel like iron, piercing the chest and abdomen, tearing the neck and breaking the head, instantly making people to death, although not as profound as the Central Plains martial arts, but the practicality is strong, fully in line with the fighting "one blow must win" ideological basis. In addition, the ninja's residence is also mysterious, and there are secret mechanisms everywhere, which is to prevent the threat of ninjas under the command of other separatist forces. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary house, but the floor next to the seat is generally equipped with a hinge, and when an enemy breaks in, tap the wooden plank, and the back is immediately flipped over, revealing the weapon, and the sword is used to fight. The canopy planks are also movable, and when pulled down, the staircase is folded to make it easy to hide or escape. The traditional Japanese door is a sliding door, which is easy to be blocked, and the sound is loud when entering and exiting, so the door of the ninja's room is a turnstile, so you can attack the other party by surprise. There are secret doors everywhere on the wall panels, or for escape, or for hiding weapons, and there is a Koga-ryu ninja room with seventeen dark holes in the wall, more than thirty different weapons, it is simply an invisible weapon display case. There are many magical legends about ninjas, and interested readers can look through the accounts of ninjas during Japan's Sengoku period, or visit the Ueno Ninja Village for yourself. Today, there is no such thing as a true ninja, but the hard-working, tenacious and tenacious characteristics of the Japanese character have been passed down as the best part of the Japanese character. Perhaps, the Japanese were able to create a post-war economic miracle, relying on this ninja spirit It is precisely because of this situation that ninjas have abilities that others can't imagine, they are often able to lurk underground, in the water for a long time, or even for days and nights without eating or drinking, just for a lore blow!

That's the horror of ninjas!

And Iga Ninja is the trump card among them, one of the two most elite ninja troops in all of Japan!

Now this powerful ninja force has become Okamoto's squire, to be exact, to protect the artifact!

According to the records of the Kojiki, U Jianmei was the son of Emperor Keixori at that time. When he was young, he was called Xiao Tsumei, and he was one of the three princes. (In ancient Japan, the crown prince was not limited to one person, and sometimes a second choice was appointed, and then the one who wanted to abdicate the throne was selected.) ）

Xiao Usui has a brother named Da Usui. On one occasion his father (Emperor Keikyuki) ordered the elder brother to summon a pair of sisters who were famous for their beauty into the palace. But when he saw the two sisters, he fell in love with their beauty and took them for himself, and finally didn't even participate in the daily morning and evening dinners.

Emperor Jingxing, who was worried about this, asked his younger brother Xiao Tsui to invite Okumi to the dinner. But after a few days, Da Huang still did not appear. The emperor thought it was strange and asked about it, and he replied that he had broken his hands and feet, rolled into the straw mat and threw it away.

Emperor Jingxing was shocked and frightened by his son's rough and excessive behavior. Feeling that he couldn't keep Xiao Ui by his side anymore, he sent Xiao Ui on the way of an expedition, and ordered him to go to the western country to crusade against two thieves named Xiong Raid Jianmei (くまそたける), and arrived in the western country, disguised as a woman and infiltrated the well-guarded Xiong Raid Jianmei's mansion, and successfully eliminated the thieves. The henchmen who marveled at his bravery attacked Jianmei and gave him the title of Wa Jianmei before being slashed by him. The Ujian Command conquest of the gods that had not been worshipped. And the warrior who took out the cloud wisely built Izumo (いずもたける), finally pacified the West and returned triumphantly.

But waiting for the widow to build a life. It was neither a reward nor a condolence, but an order to move to the East. For the center, the U Jianming is already the same as the furious god. On the way, the Osei of the Eastern Expedition passed by Ise Jingu and revealed to his aunt Ubibi (やまとひめ) that the emperor must have thought it would be better for him to die.

Ubi Shell handed the sword and a bag to her frustrated nephew. Hidden in the bag is a treasure of the gods in the shrine - the Grass Nayun Sword (Tiancong Cloud Sword). Ubi Shell tells Ubi that he is in a crusade against Aragami. It will be of great help to him. The bag can be opened when the shell is extremely dangerous and there is nothing to be done.

Awarded the Excalibur and regaining his courage, Owari made a marriage contract with the founder's daughter, Miyatsu Hiki (みやずひめ), and headed east again. While traveling through the country of Sagami, Wakenmei met the god of rage who lived in a large swamp in the middle of the wilderness. Easily believing the words of the local leader, he walked into the wilderness. But the leaders set fire to him all around him. The dilemma Wu Jianming suddenly remembered his aunt's words, so he opened the bag and found that there was a flint and steel inside.

There is another theory that the sword is automatically unsheathed, sweeping away all the grass around it (called "Sha Hong" in Japan). Finally out of danger, and then set fire to fight back. Destroy all the thieves. And the Tiancong Cloud Sword is also known as the "Grass Shaving Sword", which is derived from this incident. (Another theory is that the name of the Heavenly Cloud Sword was added by later generations to make the sword more authoritative, and its original name was "Grass Shaved" (pronounced like a wonderful snake).)

Miraculously retrieving a life, he continued his crusade, and suffered the grief of losing his mother on the way, but he still defeated all the furious gods and all the evil thieves. The prince who returned to Owari in triumph finally married Miya Yubiki. Then he set off to defeat the evil gods of Mt. Ibuki.

At this time, U Jianmei left the precious divine sword beside his beloved Miyoshi Biji. Mistaking the white pig (recorded as a snake in the Nihon Shoki) incarnated by the gods for a messenger of the gods, he insulted him and let him escape. Immediately after that, he was hit by a wonderful ice and rain, and suddenly fell ill, so he had to return to Yamato, and finally fell to the ground from exhaustion on the way back.

Legend has it that Miya was the guardian of the sword after the death of Wakenmei, but as he grew older, he gathered his clan to establish a shrine in Atsuta, where the Tencong Cloud Sword was stored—this is the origin of Atsuta Jingu.

The Kusanagi sword is two feet seven or eight inches (about 80 centimeters) long. The blade looks like the blade of an iris, and the central part of the blade is thicker. The grip is about eight inches thick, and there are many links that are not smooth, like the back bone of a fish, which is white from top to bottom.

The Tiancong Cloud Sword is supposed to have a similar shape to the ancient sword excavated from the ruins and other places. It is also believed to be similar to swords excavated in Chinese mainland. In addition, since ancient times, it has been believed that the Celestial Cloud Sword is made of iron, but judging from the fact that there is no rust on its surface and its color is white, it is also believed that the sword was actually made of copper with tin.

The Kusanagi sword was kept in Atsuta Jingu as the main god. However, 23 years after the Taika Revolution (668), a major event occurred. Excalibur was stolen by the monk Dokyo of Silla.

After infiltrating the shrine and snatching the sword, Michiyuki immediately fled to Ise with him in his robe. But after the sword disappeared overnight, it returned to the shrine on its own accord at some point. Dohang stole it again and fled from Settsu to Silla. However, this time he was hampered by a storm and had to return to Hong Kong.

At this time, people who learned of the theft of the divine body through the divine decree began to search the web in all directions. Determined that he would be caught if he continued like this, he wanted to throw away the sword, but for some reason the sword just couldn't leave his body. Dao Xing realized that he had nothing to run away from, so he gave up and turned himself in.

The imperial court, which was quite shocked by the crisis that almost allowed the artifact to flow out of the country, then took the Tiancong Cloud Sword from the Atsuta Shrine back to the palace. However, in the 3rd year of Subatori (688), Emperor Tenmu fell ill, and because legend has it that it was the work of the Excalibur, he returned the Excalibur to Atsuta Shrine.

Since then, Excalibur has been enshrined in Atsuta Jingu until now, except for very special periods such as wars or the end of the plague. As for the future whereabouts of the sword, there is a theory that in 1185, the two major samurai groups in Japan, Taira and Genji, fought a decisive battle in the waters of Tannoura, and Genji won, and Emperor Antoku, who was established by the Taira clan, was buried at the bottom of the sea with the sword, and another theory states that Yamato Takezun carried the sword to sleep at the bottom of the sea. It is not known whether the sword offered by Atsuta Jingu Shrine today is a legendary sword.

This time the Divine Sword was invited, and it also completely shattered this statement, the Tiancong Cloud Sword was indeed enshrined by the Divine Palace, and was blessed by the onmyoji of the past generations, and the power was even more powerful than the first generation!

In terms of attack power, the Heavenly Cloud Sword is indeed the first of the three artifacts!

This is also the reason why Okamoto took out the artifact from the shrine, and these Iga ninjas are the ones who protect the artifact closely!

If there is any damage to the artifact, these ninjas will kill themselves by seppuku!

Okamoto also understood the importance of the artifact, and he didn't want to risk it, but what Wang Zhong did in Korea did violate Japan's vital interests, and made them really angry!

That's why I ignored the danger of the trip to South Korea and went to find Wang Zhong's bad luck!

However, Okamoto is not a brainless martial artist, he greeted the Vatican through the embassy, after all, the first religion in Korea is not Buddhism, nor is it native shamanism, but Catholicism!

The Catholic Church has a cardinal archbishop who presides over the affairs of Seoul all the year round, and 90 percent of Koreans are Catholics!

This is a very powerful force to be underestimated! (To be continued......
