October, Kyoto Honnoji Temple.

This is a legendary temple in Toei, the temple is not the new Honnoji temple at another address, but the real temple of the Honnoji Temple after it was burned, there is a legend of the Three Tribulations and the change of the Honnoji Temple, and it also enshrines the Nichiren sect mandala Buddha, but in Toei, there are still not many people who know that this large courtyard that looks like a dilapidated house is the Honnoji Temple.

At this time, although it is daytime, but the autumn rain continues, and the dark clouds in the sky make the weather gloomy and dull.

At the same time that Yang Ming's figure appeared outside the Honnoh Temple, there were already many black shadows that surrounded him invisibly, and a figure in a black robe walked out of the broken door of the temple with a lantern, and then raised the lantern slightly to see Yang Ming clearly, and asked, "Where did the guests come from, and what are you visiting?" ”

"Where's the cold moon in Xisha?" Yang Ming asked directly.

The woman standing opposite was about thirty years old, but maybe she was actually far beyond this age, because she had a mature temperament that made Yang Ming feel reassured, and when she heard the name Xisha Lengyue, there was a trace of fluctuating light in the other party's eyes, she looked at Yang Ming, and said in a calm tone: "Do you know where this place is?" ”

"Honnoji."

"If you know that this is the Honnoji Temple, why are you looking for this person who doesn't belong to the Honnoji Temple?" Ah Nong looked at Yang Ming calmly and said indifferently.

"Are you from Ganlu Temple or Teda?" Yang Ming asked meaningfully.

Ah Nong's eyes fluctuated again, this time she raised the lantern a little, narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Yang Ming and smiled: "I am from Lengquan, and the guests are so familiar with the affairs of our side, so please talk about it in the temple......"

As he spoke, Anon turned around with the lantern, with a small interval between his steps, his posture swaying and light, but with a sense of gentleness.

Yang Ming hesitated for a moment and followed, and the moment he stepped over the threshold of the temple, he could instinctively feel that some more gloomy aura seemed to envelop him, while the figures in the dark places outside the courtyard gradually faded away.

Benneng Temple is a kind of legend in the hearts of the people of Dongying, but in Yang Ming's understanding, he knows that this is a core stronghold of the Guwu Alliance, but from the place where he walked, it was dilapidated everywhere, and there was no sign of being able to live at all.

There are not many traces left after the fire, and it may have been artificially cleaned up over the years, but it seems that it was deliberately designed to maintain the original appearance of the grass, trees and patterns here.

New trees were planted under the stone walls, but cement lime was not used to plug the cracked wall cracks, the supporting wooden pillars of the corridor were all cracked but only reinforced with some bamboo sticks, and the bluestone slabs that were originally all whole were also cracked into uneven stone paths due to the past fire, and there was a comfortable feeling for stepping on them.

Following Ah Nong all the way through several courtyards, he gradually came to a courtyard with a stone mill, in Yang Ming's curious sight, Ah Nong, who maintained a very well-proportioned figure, bent down and pushed the stone mill, and a pitch-black hole leaked out.

"Please follow me...... "Anon smiled meaningfully, picked up the hem of his robe, then bent down, lowered the lantern, and slowly walked down the steps below.

Yang Ming followed behind her, and the moment he just stepped into the steps, a transparent and natural air flow from inside swept through his front door, and he instantly understood that the world underneath must be an underground world that has been carefully laid out and stored independently!

Following Ah Nong's footsteps, he walked a somewhat astonishingly slow way through the underground corridor lit with many candles, in which you could see the dog-headed reliefs on the walls on both sides and some statues of the gods, which had the same characteristics as some of the statues of the gods in China.

After walking for about ten minutes, I suddenly came to a hall with a huge clear pool, the top of the clear pool was actually open, and the heavy rain outside sprinkled down, causing ripples on the water of the pool, and there were live fish swimming in the pool.

"Boom."

A firelight was suddenly ignited, and the reliefs of the burning lamps on the surrounding walls were all lit up, and the scene in the whole hall was completely presented under Yang Ming's sight, on the dark side of the hall, a huge mandala statue stood there, below was the altar and the incense burner, the sandalwood in the incense burner was lit, and the green smoke was filled.

And not far from the bottom of the dozen or so large futons, there were already eleven people wearing robes of the same style as Ah Nong's body, most of them were men, of different ages, the youngest looked to be in their twenties, the oldest was probably seventy or eighty years old, maybe even older!

And the woman, in addition to Ah Nong next to him, there are two old women who are not as good-looking as Ah Nong.

Ah Nong bent slightly towards those people, and then introduced to Yang Ming: "That's Lord Takaji, Lord Sacred Guardian, Saionji Temple, Ganlu Temple, Zhongshan, Takeuchi, Karasuma ......"

"This is a guest outside the door, he said he was looking for Xisha Lengyue!" Ah Nong introduced all the people who were sitting to Yang Ming, and then returned to sit on an empty futon, his expression seemed to be quiet, and his eyes lowered slightly, and his expression was reverent.

"Ahem...... an old man, the adult from the Holy Guardian Academy, raised his head and looked at Yang Ming, and then asked in a hoarse and dry voice, "You are a guest from Huaxia, right?" If so, then the person you are looking for should go to Shenmu Rin to find it, why do you want to come to my Honnoji Temple? ”

"Hehe, whether he has anything to do with you or not, but the most delicate relationship with Shenmu Rin is only your Instinct Temple, and ......" Yang Ming stared at the old man with cold eyes and snorted lightly, "The financial crisis in Huaxia a while ago, I know that you people here are involved!" Today, you either tell me about the whereabouts of Xisha Lengyue, or you will be ready to fight me. ”

"Alas!" Ying Si, who was sitting in the second place on the left, sighed in a complicated tone, "What you are looking for is probably those old people from the Ancient Martial Alliance, not us, if you have six senses, you should know that only a few of our twelve people here are a little good at kung fu, but they are far from the point of fighting you...... So please put down your murderous spirit, no one here will fight you! ”

"Isn't this the former stronghold of the Ancient Martial Alliance?"

"The past is the past!" Ying Si said, "In fact, Xisha Lengyue's master is also a member of the Guwu Alliance, but after Xisha Lengyue himself created Shenmu Rin, as soon as his master died, he let the people of the Guwu Alliance move out and give this place to us!" ”

"In that case, you must know the whereabouts of Xisha Lengyue!" Yang Ming sneered.

The twelve people sitting over there looked at each other for a while with complicated expressions, and then Ah Nong raised his head and stared at Yang Ming very puzzled: "Actually, I didn't bring you here to answer your doubts, but we want to solve the doubts in our hearts!" If nothing else, Xisha Lengyue went to Huaxia to find you, but he didn't come back......"

"What?" Yang Mington stared at Ah Nong with a shocked expression and said coldly, "How is it possible?" If he doesn't return to Dongying, where will he go? Is it ......?"

Yang Ming's face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and said: "Could it be that he deliberately set up this bureau to make me think that he would escape to Dongying, but he is dormant in Huaxia, what does he want to do?" ”

"No!" Ah Nong shook his head with a gloomy expression and said, "Xisha Lengyue let us do some things before leaving, including some things that you Huaxia people want to do, and he let us do it first, he let us dig out those who used money to provoke Huaxia, and also let us take advantage of the situation to eliminate some stubborn old men in all the Guwu Alliance, his purpose is to eliminate the troubles......

Yang Ming was confused when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel confused, his eyebrows furrowed and stared at Ah Nong, as if he wanted to judge the truth from Ah Nong's expression.

Anon paused for a moment and sighed: "The establishment and demise of Shenmu Rin are not what we people want to see, but what Xisha Lengyue did in the end is like a farewell, we have seen his decision, so we have been waiting for him to come back and give us an answer!" And now, here comes the answer, and it is up to you to sue us...... Is he dead? ”

"He realized the absurdity. The mystery of the blood dance, after deceiving me, escaped! Yang Ming said in a deep voice, "Anyway, your words are not enough to make me believe, I need you to give an explanation?" ”

"If you kill all of us, you may also get a wrong result!" Takeuchi shook his head and sighed, "Honnoji Temple is a place where ashes are piled up, and the existence here is just to continue something that must be continued, not to take the initiative to provoke a war, I hope you understand this!" ”

Saying that, Takeuchi stood up, slowly walked to Yang Ming, handed a sorted account book to Yang Ming and said: "This is the flow of funds that we have collected from those people in the Guwu Alliance, if you don't believe it, you can go to Kanagawa's Jiushen Group to check these accounts, and the results will make you understand that we are not lying!" Of course...... These funds have been withdrawn to safe accounts, and they will be used to rebuild something meaningful, and will not be in your disaster again! ”

Yang Ming opened the accounts and took a look, all of them were dense records of time and capital details, flow direction and IP, all the details of the one qiē seemed so fine, he probably found a few time periods that he was familiar with, and then compared them with the calculations in his heart, what he got was an amazing match!

For a while, he was a little at a loss, the other party's expression and confession, the purpose was to hide the existence of Xisha Lengyue or to really express a peaceful attitude?
