Chapter 40: Aftermath
In the VIP ward of Nara Prefectural Hospital, Lee opened her eyes, and was greeted by Jessica's beautiful face, she resisted the urge to pounce, and asked softly, "How is it, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Li Yungong checked it and smiled at her, "It's okay, it's not a big problem, it's just a little over-lucky, and it will be all right in a few days." ”
Jessica touched Li's white hair distressedly, "I also said that there is no big problem, the hair is gray, did you use the forbidden technique that the master said?" ”
Li raised his eyes and looked at his hair, smiled, and patted Jessica's hand, "Don't worry, this is a little lesson that Master and his old man taught me." Haven't you been prying me to dye my hair, this time it's okay, it's trouble-free. ”
Jessica burst into tears and glared at him in disgust.
"By the way, they're all outside, call them in."
Soon, everyone entered the ward, piled up the ward, and seeing that everyone was fine, Lee was even happier, and everyone was full of bright smiles, even Tina showed a long-lost smile, but unfortunately John didn't see it.
"By the way, did you get the Five Elements Secret Technique back?"
Everyone's smiles froze and they looked at each other.
"Hey." Li sighed helplessly, "I know it's important to save me, but that's the purpose of our trip, why did we spend so much money."
The mountain behind Kofukuji Temple has been surrounded by a yellow cordon at this time, and two policemen on duty at night stood in front of the cordon and chatted, "I heard that there is a temple above that has been struck by lightning, and I, a native of Nara, didn't even know that there was a temple on it." ”
The older policeman on the other side glanced at him without cutting down: "How old are you, there has always been a temple on it, but it is very small and not open to the public." He paused, looked around, and lowered his voice, "I'll tell you, it's not lightning strikes at all. Ever since I was a child, I have heard from the old man that there is a temple on the mountain behind Kofukuji Temple, which is used to suppress youkai. Originally, I thought it was just a legend, but now it seems to be true. ”
"What's going on, what's going on, tell me about it." The curiosity of the young policeman was piqued.
"I'm telling you, don't go out and spread the word." The little policeman nodded busily.
"During the day, I helped the criminal team to investigate the scene inside, don't you know, there are some strange scenes inside, there are many holes half a meter in the ground, and there are burnt marks everywhere, and there are scratches on hundreds of years old trees, and look at the traces, the claws are bigger than your head. Think about it, when did we have this kind of beast here, and I heard that before I arrived, the forensic department took away a lot of corpses, all of them were dressed as ninjas, and the deaths were all very weird, so didn't you see that we pulled the cordon to the foot of the mountain. ”
"Big. Big brother, do you know what kind of monster is sealed here, we won't be in danger of staying here. The little policeman finally began to get scared, and his eyes kept drifting into the woods.
"I heard that the seal here is a thousand-year-old nine-tailed demon fox. However, you don't have to worry, my classmates in the forensic team told me that traces of lightning strikes were found in the top temple, and there were charred corpses in the center of the lightning strikes. I think it should be that the master who guarded the seal in the temple died with the demon fox. Amitabha, thank you to this unknown master for sacrificing himself for us. ”
"Amitabha." The little policeman hurriedly prayed from the senior's words, but he had a Christian cross in his hand, and if he was really a monk, he would probably drop a thunderbolt and take him in by the way.
A cold wind suddenly blew around him, and the little policeman trembled, and his hands and mouth moved more frequently. The old policeman felt a little strange, looked at his gesture fixedly, and scolded: "Baga, what kind of gesture are you." "Ahh Don't hit me, senior, I was wrong."
Listening to the voice behind her, Liana couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, and her coquettish appearance almost stunned Hobbs who peeked at her. The group quickly arrived at the temple on the top of the mountain, Li clutched his chest and gasped, Jessica hugged him, and asked with concern, "How is it, do you want to take a break." ”
Li Chong smiled at her, "It's okay, a little sequelae." It's better to find the scroll quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night. I need your help this time. ”
Dana and the five of them nodded, each finding their way to their feet, while Liana was on guard outside the circle. Li sat cross-legged in the center, pinched the magic technique in his hand, and began to probe the fluctuations of the five elements around him.
Soon, Li opened his eyes and smiled: "The old thing still has nothing new, it's all lazy." So saying, he got up and walked to the back of the temple, and everyone followed.
After walking a short distance, in front of a small, unobtrusive stone shrine beside the path, Lee stopped and began to investigate. Hobbes looked around, suddenly realized, and said disdainfully, "It's in the same position as that bonsai in the secret room." The curious little wolf girl immediately asked the black boy.
"Hmph, I found it." Li smiled, stretched out the middle finger of his right hand, and the fingertips flashed with a little electric light, and pointed at the top of the small shrine.
With a soft brush, this little illusion was shattered, revealing the hidden truth. It was a small wooden temple with only one room, and when the door was opened, Shiva was still enshrined on the shrine, and everyone ignored it, their eyes were fixed on the offering table in front of the shrine, where a simple handscroll was quietly placed on a cushion of flannel.
Li picked up the handscroll, gently stroked the four words of the Five Elements Secret Technique written in Lishu on the cover, and couldn't help but say in his heart, Master, I have helped you wash away the shame of the year, and your spirit in the sky can go back to Longhu Mountain with me.
Suddenly, Dana shouted, "Be careful! Before everyone could react, a black light shot straight into Li's arms from behind the statue.
Li was stunned at the time, and said in his heart, it's broken, careless, I didn't expect that the old guy in Guoxin still had such a trick. The people around him were all wooden, looking at the stiff Li, no one dared to act rashly.
After waiting for a while, Li felt as if there was nothing wrong with his body, but something in his arms was writhing from time to time. He gathered his mind, looked down, and a little black snake in his arms also happened to raise his head, looking at him with that pair of red and bright eyes, looking at each other, he couldn't help laughing, although he didn't know what this little guy was, but he hadn't bitten him in his arms for so long, and it didn't seem to be the secret hand designed by Guoxin.
Reaching out and taking the little guy out of his arms and holding it in his hand, Li Yunqi began to communicate with the little guy with the spiritism inherited from the Red Feather Priest.
Everyone was relieved to see that Li was fine, and gathered around to look at this little guy in amazement.
"This little guy is quite fast, all I can see is a dark shadow, and it has already pounced on Steve." Dana looked at the little guy's slender body and couldn't help but admire.
"yes, I don't know what kind of breed this is, my creature detection doesn't even feel it." Jessica also cast a curious look at it, "And the eyes are so beautiful, like rubies." Tina and Liana next to her also nodded, the girls were still so resistant to jewelry-like objects.
And John looked at Lee and the little snake touching their chins and didn't know what was going on, and he smiled lewdly.
After a while, Li Hui froze normally, smiled and let go of the little snake, and the little guy suddenly got back into his arms and poked out a little head and spit out the letter.
Looking at everyone's curious eyes, Li hurriedly gave an explanation: "This little guy is actually related to Guoxin, its body is a bone of the Yaki Orochi in Japanese legends, and it should be a treasure stolen from the Japanese Imperial Palace when Guoxin served Tokugawa Ieyasu." Then he resurrected it with a spell from the Beast Master's faction, and kept it under control with a spell. Later, when it was wounded in battle, it happened to break the seal, so it regained its free body, and then when Guoxin died, it became even more unrestrained. ”
Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder, the ancient xenomorphs are really extraordinary. However, there are still people who have other thoughts about the death, "Hehe, senior brother, you have been in the illusion with that evil monk for so long, are you sure you are not a child born with some snake demon inside?" Look how close it is to you."
Jessica threw her stunned brother to Locke, leaned over and touched the little black snake, and asked curiously: "It's strange, it stands to reason that you injured it, why did it get close to you." ”
Looking at the little black snake's enjoyment, Li Wan'er smiled, "Coincidentally, the master once said that Chixiao was imitated by the predecessors of the master with the skeleton of an ancient fierce beast Xiangliu, and Xiao Hei felt a sense of closeness when he saw it, and Chixiao has always been hidden in my body, so the little guy likes to stick to me." It seems that there is some truth to the rumors that the Yaki Orochi escaped from Middle-earth. ”
"Blackie? What a broken name, senior brother, can't you think about it seriously. ”
"How's the Dark Fang?" Dana was also intrigued.
"Your Indian blood is too strong, I think the blood diamond, look at its eyes, how beautiful it is, Hobbes." Liana had a different opinion, and of course, when she added the last sentence, her name had a second supporter.
"It should be called Black Lightning, and that kind of attack speed is a good hand on the battlefield." Locke actually has a great interest in the little guy, well, maybe the focus is different.
"I think it's called Black Rose, look, such an elegant creature, with a poison in its body, it's a masterpiece of nature, right?" Jessica uses her affinity to pull away an ally who doesn't like to talk.
As for John's opinion, well, he automatically abstained, still in a coma on Locke's shoulder.
The hero of our argument looked up at Li with a helpless face with red eyes and confused, and Li also looked at it, "Okay Xiaohei, let's go first, let them continue to quarrel." The descendant of the ancient beast, who had received a new name, continued to burrow back into Lee's arms to feel his favorite breath.
As soon as the group returned to the hotel, two subordinates sent by Kikuta knocked on Li's door. As soon as they entered the door, the two of them knelt on the ground: "Mr. Li, President Kikuta begs you to go and save him." ”
Li frowned: "Didn't I tell him to wait for Maeda to die before launching an attack, that idiot launched it in advance?" “
The two men looked at each other in embarrassment, and one of them replied, "The president waited for Maeda to die before launching the offensive, but. We couldn't take out Yamamoto. ”
"Oh my God, I'm starting to wonder if I'm looking for the wrong person for your Sakura Society. I've killed their leaders, and you can't win, so what's the use of you? ”
"Hay!" The heads of the two men were lowered, and they did not dare to say anything.
Looking at these two stupid people, Li really wanted to kill them and leave, what did it matter to him whether the Sakura Society lived or died. After thinking about it, since you plan to make Japan a mess, it is better to help the Sakura Society. Although the strongest force behind the Yamamoto Society has been killed, but the grass is not eradicated, and the future troubles are endless, and the ninjas who ran away plus the financial support of the Yamamoto Society may not be able to cause trouble to themselves, and of course, in the end, they can no longer cultivate a Yamamoto Society.
After making a decision, Li said to the two people: "Hurry up and inform that idiot Kikuta, won't he unite those other associations, don't they understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, they only know the idiot who eats alone." Book me a plane ticket and we'll head back to Tokyo right away. ”
"Hay, thank you so much for your help."
