In the midst of the mountains, a wooden house is hidden in the dense forest. The house blends in with the scenery and the color is the same as the surrounding trees.

Around the wooden house, more than a dozen ninjas wearing brown ninja suits, soft lock curtains on their heads, and six-foot hand wiping face guards hid on tree trunks, lying or squatting, observing the movements within a radius of hundreds of miles.

These are all shinobi, and all they perform are simple tasks of tracking, guarding, and sending letters, and not only can they not see people with their true faces, but even their names are unknown. Beautiful and comfortable black ninja clothes, only the upper ninja such as Chongming and Yi'er will wear it, and the lower ninja will wear dark blue, dark purple or brown clothing.

Inside the wooden house, an old man wearing a brown robe with a sad face was kneeling facing south, sighing again and again.

Opposite him, a man in black sat on his knees, and when he saw him sighing for a long time, describing his haggard appearance, he snorted coldly and said: "Lord Yoshida, although this matter has failed, it is not your fault, we still have a chance in the future, why be so decadent." ”

This person is none other than Yoshida Kenkazu, the god of Kyoto's Heian Shrine, and this time the wolves besieged Long Shaocong and others, and he was secretly making trouble, and the man in black on the opposite side was the mastermind behind the whole incident - Sanji Zhongyue.

Why is the dignified god so embarrassed now? This also starts with the spiritual dew he obtained, the first time he got this "divine object", Yoshida Kenwa smoked every day, practiced hard, but felt that his skills were increasing day by day, but he never thought that once this thing was sucked, he could not quit, and if he did not smoke for more than three days, he would have severe pain in his internal organs.

The last time he poisoned Long Shaocong failed, he was angry with Zhongyue in the mountain rule, and was cut off for seven days, in these seven days, Yoshida Kenhe tortured to death, it was like a serious illness, and finally he couldn't bear it, he actually went into the mountains and forests, looking for a creature with a certain amount of cultivation, and directly sucked the aura in his body.

However, this kind of supernatural creatures are rare, and they are unattainable things, and there is a lack of burial in Japan, and there are no outstanding spirits to speak of, resulting in even rarer and almost extinct supernatural things. In the end, under his bitter pleading, Sanji Zhongyue was able to recover his spiritual dew, and the condition was that he used his Dao method to plan this evil wolf attack.

Yoshida didn't dare to disobey, so he had to obey obediently, but he didn't expect that Long Shaocong actually had a treasure armor and a spirit talisman to protect his body, and he finally failed.

What he is most worried about now is that he is afraid that if Shanzhi Zhongyue is angry, he will be cut off for another seven days, and the taste will be like a thousand cuts.

At this time, hearing Sanji Zhongyue say that the mission failed and the responsibility was not his, Yoshida Kenwa suddenly felt happy in his heart, and said with a sad face: "Thank you, Lord Nakagaku, this god is the master...... Ah, no, Poor Dao will definitely learn this lesson, and next time he will not let Long Shaocong's kid escape, if there is nothing else, Poor Dao will ......"

After Yoshida Kenwa finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave, but his eyes were fixed on Yamaji Nakadake, looking like he wanted to leave, but he didn't want to go.

Sanji Zhongyue understood, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, threw it at his feet.

Yoshida Kenwa hurriedly picked it up, his face showed joy, and said: "Lord Zhongyue, now that the poor road has been in the same boat with you, this antidote, it is better for you to give the poor way." ”

Sanji Zhongyue smiled.

"What is the Lord Yoshida saying, this spiritual dew is a high-grade elixir, which can help you improve your cultivation and achieve the effect of a thousand miles a day, your body was unwell a few days ago, but your cultivation is not enough, when your power is greatly increased, the qi and veins will run freely, and at that time, this spiritual dew will not need to be taken."

Yoshida Kenwa showed a wry smile, said yes again and again, and didn't even bother to say hello, so he bowed his head and retreated.

Walking out of the wooden house, he let out a long sigh and said secretly: There is a saying that it is easy to think about getting on the boat, but it is difficult to get off the boat, and I will never get off again when I get on the thief ship.

Sanji Nakagaku looked at Yoshida Kenwazu's distant back, and snorted coldly in his mouth, with a look of disdain on his face. In his heart, the most despised people are the people who are high, empty and wronged in the temple, followed by the hypocrites like Ken Yoshida who sit in the shrine and are worshiped and admired by everyone.

His hometown of Iga country, although close to the Ki region, but is a continuous mountain, the land is barren, in order to survive, Yamaji Nakagaku has learned ninjutsu since childhood, after arduous training and nine deaths of killing, he from a lower ninja all the way to the upper ninja, this central sour, only he alone to experience, to bear.

As a ninja, they are just the ruling tools of the upper echelons, and for the sake of money, they can be hired by anyone to listen to information, transmit messages, and even assassinate and behead, all of them. However, no matter how much hardship they put in and how much they contributed, in front of those rulers in fine clothes, they would always be the lowest tools, ninjas, and they would never see the light of day.

From the moment he took over the Iga ninja Liujia Governor, Sanji Nakagaku secretly vowed that he must let the ninja clan live under the sun, let them become the masters of this world, and share the mountains, rivers, rain and dew with others equally, instead of living in a barren land, starving, and in order to survive, train hard every day, be unemployed, and go out to fight for their lives.

But no matter how desperately he led the ninja army to fight, how to be loyal to every lord, what he got was still indifference and ignorance, and what was even more odious was that Oda Nobunaga, the big devil, actually raised a butcher's knife against his barren village, and the army did not leave a single tile or grass everywhere, and the entire Iga Shinobi line almost withered.

If he hadn't swallowed his anger, changed his name and surname, and swore allegiance to him, I am afraid that he would have died tragically in the midst of thousands of troops, and it was that painful lesson that made him deeply realize that no matter how hard a ninja practiced, no matter how he had a unique skill, in front of the daimyo who commanded thousands of armies and horses, he was always alone, like grass clippings, and could not withstand the wind and rain.

And it was also in that battle to exterminate the clan that he was blessed by misfortune. When organizing the evacuation of the clansmen and carrying the ancient scrolls left by their ancestors, Sanji Nakagaku accidentally discovered a shocking secret, it turned out that the legend of the great demon rampant in the Heian period six hundred years ago was actually true, and his ancestors were inextricably linked with it.

From those broken files, he found clues, this kind of once-in-a-thousand-year change, shocking the world, crying ghosts and gods, made him completely abandon the ancestral teachings of his ancestors, and he had no time to think about why his ancestors suddenly cut off all ties with the demon clan.

Fortunately, the heavens are helping themselves, Long Shaocong's unexpected appearance, let him succeed step by step, although the big demon wine heaven was taken away by the people of the Middle Earth Dao, but the other is going to go out of the mountain immediately, at that time, the royal nobles, princes and princesses, and local daimyos, all have to step on the feet of my Baidi Tanbo Shou.

"Hundred lands, hundred places......" he muttered and repeated, and said angrily in his heart: Nobunaga-chan, sooner or later, one day, I will take back everything from you, I will reply to my surname of Shirachi, and be back to Hyakuchi Tanba Mamoru, not some bullshit Sanji Nakadake.

At this time, Sanji Zhongyue was strongly suppressing the anger in his heart, because before this matter was successful, he had to endure it, hide it, and not mention it to anyone, including his five most powerful disciples.

Thinking of his apprentice, Shanzhi Zhongyue couldn't help but sigh again, what he liked most was the eldest disciple Chongming.

This big disciple has always been loyal to himself, in the battle of Iga extermination, he also saved his life, it can be said that he has a lot of respect for his teacher, but this person is not decisive and ruthless enough, too heavy on affection, in his opinion, this is the most fatal weakness of becoming an excellent ninja.

But a hundred years later, the mantle of the Iga-ryu ninja will still be passed on to Chongming, so he has to do everything he can to let the duplicate name break off the love, let this follow his surname, be his own shadow, and follow himself to the Oda family, and do not hesitate to hide his name, his eldest disciple, completely cut off his lust and become a veritable superior ninja.

Thinking of the three words "big disciple", there was another young man with a handsome face and melancholy eyes, which appeared in the mind of Shanzhi Zhongyue, he was the most suitable candidate, but it was a pity......

Shanzhi Zhongyue sighed deeply and shouted, "Glowing Soul." ”

With an answer from outside, the petite and graceful figure of the Glowing Soul appeared in the wooden house, "May I ask what Master commands." ”

Shanzhi Zhongyue glanced at his female apprentice, he was most satisfied with the glowing soul, more stable than the fifth disciple Xue Jaw, more calm than the second disciple Yi'er, and thinking of Yi'er, he couldn't help but snort coldly, the elder of this female disciple actually had the same name as his senior brother, and committed the same problem......

However, as a female ninja, if she is properly guided, it is not a fatal weakness to have affection, and it can be tolerated, but when she thinks of the four disciples who are still in confinement, Shanzhi Zhongyue can't help but be angry again.

This listener, usually the most likable to him, bold and clever, but this time he acted on his own, almost ruined his plan, if he is not severely punished, let this momentum develop, where is his majesty?

Thinking of this, Shanzhi Zhongyue asked, "Your junior sister listened, have you ever admitted your mistake?" ”

"Back to Master, I heard that after being confined for three days, I already knew my mistake, and I already regretted my reckless actions, and I asked Master to read that he was a first offender and spare my sister once."

"Hmph, you sisters are very affectionate."

Yingsoul didn't dare to look up at the master's face, and said timidly: "The disciple doesn't dare, the disciple is thinking about the master by saying this, and he also asks the master to be clear." ”

"Oh, let's talk about it as a teacher." Sanji Nakagaku leaned forward.

"The third sister listened to the master's teachings, with unique skills, is the master's indispensable right-hand man, and is also very loved by the master on weekdays, the disciple is afraid that the master will be angry, the punishment is too heavy, and he keeps losing an arm, and he will be sad when he thinks about it in the future. And now, Master has punished her, and she has already known her mistakes, Master, you are magnanimous, forgive her this time, and you will not dare to do it again in the future, and you will remember Master's kindness and do your best. ”

"Well......" At this moment, Shanzhi Zhongyue felt a little more comfortable in his heart, and said slowly: "Listening to what you said, it is not unreasonable. ”

Knowing that the master was already moved, the Ying Soul continued: "Actually, in private, the sisters all say that although the master is strict on the surface, he is very kind to the disciples in his heart, and as long as he listens and admits his mistake this time, the master will not punish her heavily, and sure enough, ......."

When Shanzhi Zhongyue heard this, his face suddenly turned grim, and he waved his hand to interrupt the words of the Ying Soul.

"You go first, tell your heart to listen, don't take an example."

The glowing soul happily replied, turned and withdrew.

After the apprentice exited the wooden house, Shanzhi Zhongyue hurriedly stood up, opened the secret door behind him, and a young man dressed in cyan straight hanging, covered with feather weaving, and holding a delicate folding fan, stood in front of him with his back.
