Chapter 105: The Man Behind the Scenes
Akiyama Hongyi's spirit finally recovered a lot, and the sudden arrival of Fang Yaozi made him excited, and after eating the tonic pill given by the other party, his breath suddenly smoothed out, and he felt a wisp of warmth from the dantian, and instantly traveled along the veins, all over the body.
Now, his first task is to clean up the traitor Kenkazu Yoshida.
Before Akiyama Hongyi spoke, he first looked at Xiaoyaozi on the side and cast an inquiring gaze.
Xiaoyaozi smiled slightly, and said: "Fellow Daoist, for the responsibility of this Yoshida Qianhe's precepts, Fang Cai Poor Dao has already explained to you, as for how to deal with it, it is a matter within your sect, and it is inconvenient for Poor Dao to intervene, you can decide for yourself." ”
Akiyama Hiroki nodded, as if he was not open, as if he couldn't close his eyes, staring at Kenwa Yoshida who was trapped on the pillar, without saying a word.
At this time, Yoshida was humble, and he had gradually regained some of his senses, and his gloomy eyes were full of fear. At this time, seeing the sharp gaze of the Sect Leader staring at him, he couldn't help but plead: "Sect Leader spare your life, Sect Leader...... The subordinates were confused for a while, and I asked the master to take it lightly......"
Akiyama Hongyi snorted coldly and said slowly: "You plotted to kill the sect leader, with bad intentions, and this crime is also a crime; Using the spiritual dew to cultivate the Tao law, this sin is also two; greed, killing innocent girls, eating their brains, this crime is also three; Treating the canon as nothing, using the Tao to control the wolves and harm people, this crime is also four; Madhearted, colluding with outsiders, killing the four gods in my sect, this crime is also five. The above five sins, is what Ben Zhangjiao said right or not? ”
When Yoshida heard this, he hurriedly replied: "My subordinates are guilty, no...... Subordinate...... The subordinates are wronged, the subordinates are really wronged, and the subordinates are confused for a while, and they are used by outsiders......"
"Let me ask you, who are you used for?"
"Yes......" Yoshida Kenkazu just wanted to speak, his haggard face suddenly showed a look of extreme fear, his eyes were firm, sometimes angry, sometimes turned to sadness, as if in his heart, he was sitting in an extremely difficult choice for an instant, until finally, his whole expression finally dimmed, and he muttered: "Who ordered it, subordinates can't say, it's related to the safety of this sect......"
Speaking of this, Yoshida Kenkazu suddenly raised his head again, looked at Xiaoyaozi, and roared: "It's you, it's all you!" It is you Middle-earth people who have brought disaster to our great Japan, and you must kill him, kill him, or Shinto will be wiped out, ...... you will be in charge."
"Enough!" Akiyama Hongyi suddenly became violent, and said loudly: "Until now, I am still stubborn and unrepentant, come here, give me a palm!" After saying that, he couldn't help coughing twice.
A waiter received the order, took a bamboo board, and opened the bow left and right according to Yoshida Ken's cheeks, and the sound of "popping" suddenly sounded, and in an instant, Yoshida Ken and twenty mouths were hit, only his mouth was full of blood, and five teeth were also removed, and there was a howl of "woo......
Akiyama Hongyi glared at Yoshida Kenwa fiercely, and continued: "Tell me quickly, who are you instructed by, so as not to suffer from skinny flesh and skin!" ”
Yoshida's humble eyes darkened completely, and he whispered, "Yes, yes......"
Everyone present was engrossed, and they all wanted to hear who the person behind the curtain was, but they listened and listened, except for hearing the two "yes" words, but there was no sound below......
When everyone looked closely, they found that Kenkazu Yoshida's mouth was wide open, and there was blood left in the air holes, and he had died of anger......
Akiyama Hongyi sighed, and couldn't stop saying: "Evil obstacle, evil obstacle......"
Xiaoyaozi's reaction was the fastest, and he jumped onto the roof of the main hall as soon as he flew up, looked around, but didn't find a single figure, so he couldn't help but sigh and return to the hall.
He had just stepped into the main hall and found Matsukura Shigenobu holding a short blade in his hand, and red blood was dripping from it.
"Dao Chief, this sharp blade pierced into Yoshida's heart, and he was killed instantly, the technique is accurate, fast, and ruthless, rare in the world......"
There is no need for Matsukura Shigenobu to explain, Xiaoyaozi can also guess a rough idea, but now it is in vain to say anything, and now that the clue has just arrived, it has been broken again, and the enemy's shot is too ruthless, so that Xiaoyaozi always has a feeling that it is difficult to support alone.
Akiyama Hiroki looked at this old friend and sighed: "This evil obstacle is dead, what should we do next?" ”
Xiaoyaozi said: "At the beginning, I always thought that the mastermind was Yoshida Qianhe, but now it seems that there are more powerful people behind it, but who is this person?" Can the god of the dignified Peace Shrine be willing to serve him? ”
Akiyama Hongyi took another sip of tea, eased his breath, and said: "I think that at the beginning, I noticed that the girl's dementia was in Azuchi Castle, and something was wrong, so I wanted to report it to His Royal Highness Nobunaga in time, but who knew that I was ambushed that night, and the person who finally shot it was actually a ninja. ”
Xiaoyaozi nodded and said, "These days, I have also fought with ninjas many times, could it be that the person behind this is actually a ninja who is doing trouble." ”
Akiyama Hongyi shook his head and said: "Dao Chief, do you know, in Japan, ninjas are just tools of the upper class, although they have unique skills and abilities, their status is extremely low, just ask, Yoshida Kenwa is the head of the dignified Heian Shrine, usually the royal family will give a little thin face when he sees it, just ask, how can he be at the mercy of a ninja." ”
"But there are traces of ninjas everywhere, just now I and Matsukura Shigenobu are in the dark passage, and we are also trapped by the illusion of ninjutsu, is there a more powerful figure behind this group of ninjas?"
"It's right for the Taoist to take the test, but the difficulty of the problem is also here." Akiyama Hiroki coughed again as he spoke, apparently it would take time for his body to recover.
"Why is that?" Although Xiaoyaozi is alert, but because of his intoxication with Taoism and ancestral training, he has been respectful of the Japanese court and politics for a long time, and he has never interacted with each other, so he doesn't know anything about the current political situation in Japan, except for knowing that the major names are fighting with each other.
Matsukura Shigenobu next to him saw that Akiyama Hongyi was quite tired, and hurriedly excused himself: "Dao Chief, Japanese ninjas have always been hired by people, and their whereabouts are secretive. ”
After speaking, he turned his head and asked Akiyama Hiroki, "Divine Lord, is it appropriate for Shige to say so?" ”
Akiyama Hiroki nodded, indicating that he completely agreed with what Matsukura Shigenobu said.
When Xiaoyaozi heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter.
Akiyama Hiroki shook his spirits for a moment, and then said, "However, one thing is certain. ”
Xiaoyaozi was overjoyed when he heard this, and urged: "Which point? Say it. ”
"The person behind such a big fight must not be a simple person, so it can be concluded that except for the powerful daimyo, no one else has such strength."
"Who are the daimyo who have such conditions in today's Japan?"
"Of course, the most powerful is His Royal Highness Nobunaga, but he is also the one who can be excluded the most, because with his current strength, it is only a matter of time before he unifies Japan and achieves hegemony, and he can't take this risk. In addition to him, Hojo, Uesugi, Takeda, and Mori are all possible, and as for the Date family of Mutsu, the Nagamune Ibu of Shikoku, and the major wealthy families of Kyushu Island, they can be excluded because they live far away from and the land under their jurisdiction is barren and poor. ”
Xiaoyaozi stroked his short beard under his chin, feeling that such an analysis made sense, but he seemed to have overlooked something, and replied thoughtfully: "Even if they do whatever it takes to hegemon, don't they know that releasing the big demon will make the whole of Japan miserable, and then it will affect the pond fish, and in the end, their hegemony will be like a mirror, and they will be happy." ”
"This, I don't know, maybe it's ambition that gets carried away, or not necessarily."
"It's still not quite right, the god lord knows, the big demon is a royal secret, out of our Zhang family's lineage, Shintoism, outside the onmyoji, not to mention the local wealthy family names, even the important ministers of the court do not know, just imagine, those who are far away from the center of Gyeonggi Haoming, how can they know about this?"
"This ......" Akiyama Hongyi was asked by Xiaoyaozi, and he was immediately speechless......
"There's another thing, and its whereabouts are unknown." Xiaoyaozi felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth, and said to himself: "The spirit demon qi that Senior Brother Yiqingzi forced out from Jiutian's body is still missing. ”
"The spirit demon qi can be used to break through the seals of the major demons, in the time that I have been imprisoned, can you find any changes in Mt. Hiei and Mt. Hira?" Akiyama Hiroki's expression suddenly became nervous.
"This has always been my concern, when I was attacked by an old man, robbed of the spirit demon qi, and after recuperating for many days, I returned to Dao Hiei Mountain, but fortunately there was no change."
"So very good, very good, very good......" Akiyama Hongyi heard Xiaoyaozi say that he didn't notice any movement, and the nervous look just now eased up.
But Xiaoyaozi's brows tightened, and he took a breath and said: "Although there is no change, but Poor Dao always feels that something big will happen, alas, Japan has been at war for many years, and Shinto is in its own way, in case a big demon breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"Things haven't come to that point yet, after I recuperate for a few days, I can return to Mount Fuji and reorganize the Shinto religion, and besides, there has been a big demon who broke through the seal before, but it was also surrendered, and it didn't make too much trouble." Akiyama Hongyi's heart was very wide at this time, and he persuaded Xiaoyaozi despite fatigue.
The so-called listening to people's persuasion and eating a full meal, Xiaoyaozi felt that the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and sighed and said: "Since the matter here is over, I will no longer bother, and return to Hiei Mountain immediately, the god Lord will take care of his body, and he will return to Asama Shrine, so he doesn't have to be too anxious." ”
Akiyama Hongyi smiled and said: "All kinds of signs show that the other party is going to the big demon, there is an important thing suppressed at the bottom of Mount Fuji, which is related to the fortune of Japan, if it is stolen, the consequences are unimaginable, how can I not be in a hurry?" ”
Xiaoyaozi patted his chest and said: "The heart method is here, the Zhang family has been passed down from generation to generation, no one can take it, the god can rest assured, it's just the whereabouts of the spirit and demon qi of the wine sky, please ......."
Speaking of this, Xiaoyaozi was stunned here, and found that Akiyama Hongyi's eyes looked at him, and he also showed a look of horror.
The two said almost at the same time: "Could it be that the Great Demon Wine Heaven has never left Japan......"
