Chapter 390: The Palace
The palace is not too big.
The entire flat land on the top of the mountain is not large, but I have been walking on the cramped mountain road for several hours, and suddenly I saw such a flat square, which felt very large. The palace is also able to give a sense of grandeur because of the contrast between the surrounding bungalows.
Strictly speaking, this is a group of relatively well-preserved ancient buildings, or a ruin. In fact, if it is slightly renovated, it should be a very tasteful attraction. But for some reason, it has not been developed for tourism.
Perhaps, it has something to do with the "Nine Ghost Stream".
The Yagyu family did not want this place to be developed for tourism, and with the power of the Yagyu family in Kitada City, it was easy to achieve such a goal.
When passing by the two statues, Xiao Fan stopped, looked at it carefully, and strengthened his thoughts.
In the legends of the Oriental countries, the demeanor of the "evil ghost" is strange. But without exception, they are all vicious and hideous, and their faces are hateful. However, these two statues are very similar to the cultivation method of "Reincarnation Phase Evil Ghost Dao", and the painting style is basically the same. Xiao Fan believes that it should be more than just a coincidence.
The cultivation formulas and methods of each phase of the "Wuji Nine Phases" are definitely not martial arts inheritance, but it cannot be said that they are not related to martial arts in the slightest. In particular, cultivating the masterful internal strength and mental method, and achieving high or low levels are closely related to the mentality of the cultivator.
The fall of the upper realm of magic cultivation has actually affected Xiao Fan's martial arts performance.
For example, last night's battle against the two major clans of the Yanagi family, if Xiao Fan was in his heyday, there was actually no need to delay it for so long. I don't need Heilin's help. Because of the unstable state of mind, the highest state of "Haoran righteousness". It's hard to play out, too.
Against the average master, the difference doesn't matter. Xiao Fan didn't need to go all out at all. However, in a duel with a real master, if you miss the slightest moment at the critical moment, the result will be a thousand miles away.
According to the Patriarch Zhishui, in the process of continuous revision, the cultivation method of "Haoran Righteousness" also refers to the cultivation method of the "Wuji Nine Phases Chapter". Since it is the supreme magic of Wujimen, it is closely integrated with "Wuji Nine Phases", which is very appropriate.
The road is extreme, and all laws can be passed!
Xin Lin just glanced at the two statues with some curiosity, and then didn't care. Her attention was all on the palace.
Since Yuichi Yanagi has brought them here to fight a decisive battle. There's always a reason.
Xin Lin didn't care about Liu Shengxiong in his mouth, and he didn't dare to be so light in his heart. At least since her debut, these devils of the Yanagi family are the most powerful Dongdao people she has ever seen.
As soon as I walked into the inside of the main hall, the rising sun was immediately blocked out, and suddenly it became black again.
Xin Lin didn't even think about it, and the soft sword in her hand danced into a ball of sword flowers, completely enveloping herself. This kind of time. No matter who it is, there will be an instant "blindness" in both eyes, which is the most vulnerable to attack.
"Miss Xin, it doesn't have to be like this! For the attack on you. I'm not interested! ”
A faint voice from Liu Shengxiong immediately sounded in Xin Lin's ears, with a very obvious disdain.
Xin Lin ignored it and dodged to the side. When his eyes gradually adjusted to the dimness of the palace, the movements of his hands gradually slowed down.
Xiao Fan slowly walked into the hall.
It is a large hall with a distinctly ancient flavor. It is very similar to the council hall of the helmsman of some gangs in many martial arts TV series. More than ten tall stone pillars support the top of the main hall.
The inside of the main hall was empty.
Only at the end of the main hall. There is a stone staircase, standing a tall stone seat, a bit like the throne of the ancient emperor of the Huaxia Kingdom, in the middle of the throne, sitting a man, it is Yanagi Yuichi.
Behind Yuichi Yanagi is a stone wall, and on the stone wall is carved a hideous and terrifying ghost head, with angry eyes and a wide open mouth, facing Yuichi Yanagi who is sitting in the center of the throne. And around this ghost head, there are eight evil ghosts, all of which have different forms, but all of them are extremely hideous.
There is no doubt that this should be the former general altar of the "Nine Ghost Streams".
After all, with the progress of the times, these ancient inheritances have either declined or integrated into modern society. The Yagyu family, for example, has a good connection between ancient and modern society, and has maintained a strong influence in mainstream society. No matter how things change in the world, the Yanagi family will always be the most profound and powerful family in Kitada City.
In fact, compared with the "Nine Ghost Streams" of the past, today's "Nine Ghost Streams" cannot be said to be in decline. It's just that the times have advanced to today, and a school of such a big one, with many disciples, is unlikely to live in this deep mountain and old forest.
It's like Wuji Gate, and there is no longer its own "mountain gate", and the water stop view is just the private residence of the water stop ancestor, and it is not the real general altar of Wuji Gate. If you really build a big Taoist temple in a famous mountain and river, and recruit disciples from a wide range of disciples, you will make a huge noise, but I am afraid that not only will you not be able to carry forward the Wuji inheritance, but it will become a laughing stock.
For example, a well-known martial arts school and a famous temple are ready-made examples.
"Yanagi, things have come to this point, and there has to be an end. You don't have to waste time pretending to be a ghost. ”
Looking at Yuichi Yanagi on the high "throne", Xiao Fan frowned slightly and said.
Liu Shengxiong smiled and said coldly: "Xiao Fan, I admit that you are very powerful. I'll also admit that I'm no match for you. But not here. This is the former general altar of our 'Nine Ghost Stream', and it is also the holy place of the 'Nine Ghost Stream'. As long as they are here, the disciples of the 'Nine Ghost Stream' are invincible. ”
"Nonsense!"
Before Xiao Fan could speak, Xin Lin sneered, her face full of disdain.
"Miss Xin, I underestimated you. That Hu man from the Western Regions, Abbas, once provided me with information about you, saying that you were Xiao Fan's personal bodyguard, but it didn't attract enough attention from me...... Yamaguchi, Akiko, they were all killed by you, right? And my younger brother Yuji Yanagi, who you also killed? ”
Liu Shengxiong turned his head, looked at Xin Lin, and asked slowly.
"Abbas, the Hu of the Western Regions? Who is it? ”
Xin Lin raised her eyebrows, ignoring Yuichi Yanagi's question, and directly grasped the crux of the problem. She can now basically conclude that the rookie ninja of the island country who was killed by her in Yangxi Town should be Yuichi Yanagiyu's younger brother, Yuji Yanagi. However, the people who told Yuichi Yanagi about this situation must be the group of people hiding in the shadows.
Abbas, a Hu from the Western Regions, this is the first time Xin Lin has heard the name of this person.
Liu Shengxiong showed a hint of sarcasm on his face again, and said: "Mr. Xiao, it seems that you are not as strong as I imagined, you were hunted down and plotted, and you don't even know the name of your opponent. On the contrary, I, a native of the East Island country, knew about it first. ”
"That's because people want you to be cannon fodder for him."
It's still Xin Lin who is responding to this topic.
She knew that Xiao Fan would never be interested in explaining it to Yuichi Yanagi. Regarding the change of life against the sky, about the Red Dust Tribulation, how could Xiao Fan mention it to Liu Shengxiong.
The corners of Liu Shengxiong's mouth twitched, his face suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes shot a fierce light like a hungry wolf. Xin Lin's words really stimulated him.
Yuichi Yanagi is an extremely conceited and even arrogant person, and he has never suffered a loss since he was in charge of the Yanagi family. Now that he has been used by Abbas, so that he has fallen into the current situation, the hatred for Abbas in his heart is probably not under the hatred of Xiao Fan Xinlin at all. If it weren't for Abbas "abducting" Yuji Yanagi to go to Huaxia to participate in the assassination of Xiao Fan, how could today's qiē happen.
The entire Yagyu family, in an instant, was almost completely ruined.
In this case, Yanagi Yuichi felt that he had an "obligation" to inform Xiao Fan and Xin Lin of Abbas's situation. Abbas knew that he would kill people with a knife, so why wouldn't Yuichi Yanagi?
But this does not mean that Yanagi Yuyi can accept Xin Lin's ridicule of him.
This woman dares to look down on him!
It just doesn't make sense!
"By the way, Mr. Xiao, Abbas is a master of magic, and I once saw him cast spells with my own eyes, which is amazing. You are not his opponent, and it is normal that you have been hunted down and plotted. ”
Liu Shengxiong suppressed the anger in his heart, barely squeezed out a smile, and said to Xiao Fan.
If Xiao Fan didn't answer him, he just wanted to tell Xiao Fan, not Xin Lin, in order to express his contempt for Xin Lin.
Xiao Fan said lightly: "Mr. Liu Sheng, you don't understand the way of magic." And you don't have to provoke me anymore, Abbas and his friends, I'm going to deal with them after all. Do you have anything else to say? ”
If not, I'll send you on your way!
Liu Shengxiong sneered and said, "Mr. Xiao, according to what you say, are you going to eat me?" Now that we're here, it's not certain who lives and who dies! ”
"Less nonsense!"
Xin Lin couldn't bear it anymore, the soft sword in his hand shook, with a slight touch under his feet, he flew up, borrowed his strength on a stone pillar again, the sword light was like frost, and went straight to Liu Shengxiong on the "throne" to kill.
Although this place is located in the deep mountains and old forests, after all, it is still in the East Island country, Xin Lin is worried that the night is long and there are many dreams, so it is better to hurry up and solve the problem of Yanagi Yuichi. So far, Xiao Fan is still wanted by the police in Beitian City, and if he wants to leave Beitian, I'm afraid he will have to find another way.
Yanagi Yuichi looked coldly at Xin Lin who was killing in the air, neither got up, nor waved his blade to face the battle, but just lightly slapped his palm on the armrest of the "throne".
Suddenly, a loud "boom" sound spread in the main hall.
Xin Lin was taken aback, and the soft sword in his hand immediately pulled a sword flower, and his body was stunned in mid-air, and slowly fell to the ground. Since this is the location of the main altar of the "Nine Ghost Streams", although it has been deserted, it is always a little strange, but it is better to be cautious.
The loud rumbling sound became louder and louder, and the stone steps under the "throne" suddenly cracked a passage, and the entire throne was connected to Yanagi Yui himself, and suddenly sank into the passage, never to be seen again. (To be continued......)
