Chapter 1001: Takeda's Death
The demons left, and the leaders of Camarilla looked at each other for a while, and then followed the direction that Old Clark had left.
Only the subordinates that Clark has personally brought out over the years are nervous, and they are not leaving, and they are not leaving.
Clark glanced left and right, and found that only the butler Blaise and his granddaughter Julia were still firmly on his side, worthy of being his hardcore confidant, and even more worthy of his granddaughter, who did not let himself become a loner.
"Don't be afraid, Balk won't dare to mess around." Clark held his granddaughter's cheek with both hands, kissed her deeply on her forehead, and smiled, "Take them down, I want to be quiet for a while." ”
Julia bit her lip and nodded, leading Clarke's few remaining minions away.
After seeing the crowd go away, Blaise said with a solemn expression: "My lord, do you still need to investigate the traitor?" ”
Clark asked rhetorically, "Why don't you check?" ”
Blaise was a little reluctant to speak, but he didn't know what the adults thought, for fear that if he said it, he would be suspected of provoking the relationship between father and son.
Clark knew in his heart, and said indifferently: "Only by finding out the traitor can we ensure our own safety, but we don't let outsiders know about the traitor for the time being, and don't announce and deal with it for the time being, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Blaise tried to say, "I'm afraid that the 'king' will ...... when he finds out."
Clark Huo Ran turned around and interrupted, "My father no longer trusts me, otherwise he wouldn't hide it from me after he gets out of trouble, and Balk dares to provoke me like this is proof of this." If it weren't for the fact that I still have some resources in my hands and use them, maybe the person lying on the ground would be me. He raised his hand and pointed to the corpse on the ground, "Maybe my father needs some failure to understand that I am irreplaceable." ”
"Understood." Blaise nodded.
The night sky of Tokyo is as bright as the mansion of Takeda Kimori. The driver, who was waiting next to the car, saw Takeda carrying a large suitcase that came out lightly, immediately turned around and opened the door, respectfully invited Takeda to get into the car, and quickly got into the car and drove away.
More than two hours later, the car entered a mountain field and circled up a winding mountain road.
There is a temple at the top of the hill called 'Unbong-ji'. The door of the temple was open, and the presiding monk Jingzhi was standing alone outside the door and waiting, without alarming the other monks.
The car was parked outside the monastery. The driver quickly opened the door and welcomed Takeda out of the car, and the host of Jingzhi also greeted him and said, "Lord Takeda." ”
Takeda Heten bowed and said: "Takeda can't sleep, and he came to Yunfeng Temple late at night to find quiet and disturb the master." ”
Jingzhi bowed down and stretched out his hand to invite him to come with him.
After the two entered the monastery. The driver got back into the car and waited quietly, but the trunk of the car quietly opened a gap, and a black shadow rolled out of the ground as soft as a bone, flashing into the darkness, light and fast.
The candlelight in the main hall is bright, the cigarette smoke is filled, and a golden Buddha statue is high above. Numbly looking down at the vast number of beings below, but some people can see the great compassion, and this appreciation ability is not comparable to ordinary people.
After Jingzhi took Takeda and took off his shoes and came in, he walked to the side and took a few sticks of incense, lit them and handed them to Takeda.
Takeda Kimori put down the large box he was carrying. He stretched out his hand to the Buddha statue and took the incense and bowed sincerely, inserted it into the incense burner, and then knelt on the futon and kowtowed.
The Jingzhi host, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, stretched out his hand to Takeda after the worship and asked to take a seat, and Takeda Musen nodded and sat cross-legged on the futon.
It seems that Takeda Kimori really came here at night to find inner peace. From time to time, questions were raised, and the Jingzhi host was also speaking Zen with a peaceful face.
One question and one answer. Nearly an hour later, Takeda seemed to have come to his senses, and expressed his deep gratitude to Jingzhi for prostrating his head on the ground.
After Jingzhi presided over the ten, he stood up and walked out of the main hall alone, closing the door of the main hall and leaving, leaving Takeda alone in the main hall.
Takeda gently closed his eyes and meditated quietly on his knees in front of the Buddha alone, as if he really wanted to participate in Zen and enlightenment here, which matched the atmosphere here.
However, after not moving for about half an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, picked up the large box on the side, went around to the back of the Buddha statue, reached out and broke one of the petals of the lotus throne where the Buddha was sitting, and broke it down with force.
With a 'click', the ground behind him sank, and an underground passage split out from the thick stone floor to the left and right, revealing the descending steps.
Takeda stepped aside and grabbed a candle that flickered by candlelight, turned around and went down the tunnel. The tunnel was pitch black, and after walking slowly for more than 20 meters, he entered a basement and lit the candles on the square candlesticks with the candles in his hand before putting them down.
The whole basement suddenly brightened, and at the same time there was a treasure shining, only to see that the surrounding layers of stone platforms were filled with all kinds of gold and silver Buddha statues and other gold and silver utensils, as well as many antiques and the like, gold, silver, copper and porcelain, and all kinds of jewelry hanging on the Buddha statue, this is simply a small treasure house.
That's right, it's a treasure trove, a treasure that Iga has collected for generations, but it ended up in Takeda's hands.
Takeda took a deep breath and placed the large box in his hand on the stone platform next to him and opened it, but the box turned out to be empty. He had already turned to carry things in the basement, and when he opened a wooden box, he saw that it was full of various colored gems, which was dazzling and put it in his box.
A jade horse, a jade Buddha, a few scrolls, and a few jewelry pendants were all put into the box he brought.
He is not short of money to spend, and he deliberately came to get these things not for anything else, but for rights. The so-called big husband can't be without power for a day, especially those who have tasted power, how can they be willing to stay away from power, so he wants to give these things away to help him make a comeback and re-enter the political arena.
However, just as he closed the box and was about to leave with the suitcase, a petite masked ninja suddenly stood up behind the stone platform, seemingly a woman.
Takeda Musen was shocked, when did he come in He didn't know, and was about to shout, the other party had unceremoniously and quickly drawn his knife, a cold light flashed, 'poof' Takeda's head flew up, the corpse was separated, and he fell to the ground with blood.
With the long knife in its sheath, the masked ninja quickly looked around, and his eyes locked on the large jade carving standing in the center, which was a jade sculpture of Guanyin.
The masked ninja flew over and landed lightly on the furnished steps, the jade carving Guanyin was about the same height as her, and she seemed to know something about this Jade Guanyin. I saw her stretch out two fingers to the jade net bottle held by Guanyin, and a short scroll jumped out and fell into her hand.
She quickly opened the scroll to see its contents, and when she was sure that there was no doubt, she quickly put it away, tucked it into the placket, and jumped away from the display table.
He was about to gallop away, when he suddenly stopped, looked back at the treasure house, walked back to Takeda's corpse, opened the box, selected some valuable treasures from all around, and filled the whole box completely before closing.
The chest full of treasures was a bit heavy, and the petite ninja carried the box directly on his shoulder, and his steps were still light and fast, and he seemed to fly out of the tunnel.
When she came to the main hall outside, she quickly took a few candles and placed them under the wooden shelves and curtains around her, and the flames immediately ignited. The masked ninja carrying the box climbed the pillar up to the window lattice of the main hall, silently climbed out of the window, and ran quickly on the roof of the temple.
When she ran out of the temple and broke into the dark forest, she turned back and saw that there was already a fire and cries for help on the top of the mountain, and it was estimated that no one would be able to take care of her anymore. Before the fire was extinguished, she could safely disappear, but it was a pity for the treasures in the treasure vault......
The next morning, Qin Province, inside the hotel restaurant. Lin Zixian looked at the Jueyun Zen Master who was devouring the wind and clouds on the table with a stunned face, of course, he looked more like a fashionable uncle on the surface. The monk thought that eating with the brim of the cap was in the way, so he went straight to the back of his head and ate wildly.
Lin Zixian found that he underestimated the mentality of Jueyun, he shaved his hair and beard yesterday like a dead father, but today he returned to the same state. Of course, he also underestimated the amount of food that Zen Master Jueyun had, not to mention the amount of food that killed seven or eight people by himself, and he could even make a large greasy roast duck in the morning.
Lin Zixian ate and drank a few sips casually, and saw that he was full when he saw that Jueyun stuffed a duck leg into his big mouth and 'exploited', he couldn't help but try to ask: "You monks of the Emei faction don't quit meat?" ”
"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart." Jueyun replied casually and asked, "You kid can't be distressed about those two money, right?" ”
Lin Zixian snorted, "I'm afraid you'll break your stomach." ”
As soon as the voice fell, the phone in his pocket rang, it was an unfamiliar number, and when he connected the "hey", a man's voice came from the phone, "Is it Mr. Lin?" Secretary Li asked me to come to you. ”
Lin Zixian immediately understood that it was Shang Zhenggang's secretary who had arrived, and the two sides had made an appointment last night, so he immediately replied: "It's me, where are you?" ”
"I've arrived outside the hotel designated by Secretary Li." The other party said.
"Wait a minute, I'll be right here." After Lin Zixian took the phone, he said to the gobbling up Jueyun: "Crazy monk, I have something to go out, you eat slowly, don't run around, be careful and get lost like last night." ”
Jueyun nodded, "Don't forget to settle the bill, I don't have any money on me." ”
"It's okay, just eat whatever you want, all the expenses of this hotel can be credited to the room, and you don't have to pay for it." Lin Zixian wiped his mouth, got up and strode away.
Out of the hotel, I saw the armed police major next to a car outside the door, Lin Zixian walked over directly, and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm Lin Zixian." ”
"Hou Jun." The two sides shook hands, and the major of the armed police did not say much, did not ask what should not be asked, did not say what should not be said, invited him to get in the car, and quickly drove away.
Not long after, the two came to the guest house of the Qin Provincial Armed Police Corps, and both got out of the car and walked to a separate small courtyard guarded by armed police soldiers behind the guest house.
With Major Hou Jun leading the way, the guards were not embarrassed and let them go directly. Hou Jun didn't follow up, stretched out his hand to the courtyard and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, the person you want to see is inside, and I'll wait for you outside." ”
