Chapter 440: A Knife Stream
"Bang bang!"
"What kind of wooden knife is this?!" Saijo withdrew from the battle circle with a numb mouth after receiving two moves, and his face was full of horror as he watched Gao Cheng slash horizontally under the siege of his apprentices.
There was a wooden knife that could resist the sharpness of the demon knife Muramasa, as if it didn't ignore the impact of the blade at all.
Takasei once again slashed down a ghost-faced samurai and stood in front of Saijo, and at the same time he sensed a rush of danger, and a line of archers appeared on the temple wall and raised their bows to lock with their bows in the light of the fire.
"Stop!" Saijo gritted his teeth and called out to the apprentices, staring at Gao Cheng with deep-set eyes, "What kind of school of swordsmanship are you?" I've never seen one! ”
"It can be regarded as a study of ancient swordsmanship, but it's nothing special." At the waist of Gao Cheng's sword, the archers still did not retreat, and the ghost-faced samurai who fell to the ground around saw this, and at the same time, more samurai rushed out from inside and outside the temple.
I have to say that there are many followers of Saijo's Yoshikei stream, so it's no wonder that he is unwilling to lose his dojo......
"Master......" The ghost-faced warriors pulled out their swords in unison and looked at Gao Cheng vigilantly.
"Shut up! I said don't meddle! ”
Saijo scolded sternly, looked at Gao Cheng with cold eyebrows, and pulled out another shorter knife from his waist.
"Only killing is the mystery of swordsmanship, and if you haven't killed anyone, even if you are powerful in swordsmanship, what if you don't kill anyone? I'll show you what the real ancient swordsmanship is! ”
Saying that, Saijo snorted, and said with a grim expression: "I'll just remind you, this knife is not an ordinary knife, it is coated with a poison that will attack immediately, and if you are scratched slightly, you will immediately return to the west!" ”
"This is your way of the sword?" Gao Cheng looked at the blade of the reflective knife.
"Of course, even if you don't have poison, you're dead!"
Saijo cracked the corners of his mouth and smiled, holding his twin knives with all his might, and rushed towards Gao Cheng.
"It's to blame you for being nosy!"
"Whew."
Gao Cheng closed his eyes and shifted his center of gravity downward.
Maybe the ancient swordsmanship was indeed a killing swordsmanship at the beginning, but now it is not what it used to be, and swordsmanship definitely does not exist for killing......
The fingers gripped the handle again, and the moment Saijo got close, the wooden knife seemed to turn into an arc of light, and with a single blow, he quickly slashed across the waist and abdomen of Saijo.
"Bang!"
Saijo bowed up like a shrimp, his whole face turned sauce-colored, puffed out his eyes and looked at the cherry blossom petals that were cut in half and fell in front of him, he couldn't even hold the sword in his hand, and slowly fell in front of many disciples weakly: "How can it be ......?"
"Division...... Master was knocked down by him! The ghost-faced warriors looked at Gao Cheng in horror, and when they met Gao Cheng's gaze, they all took a few steps back in disbelief.
Takasei quickly slashed down a few arrows, ignoring the samurai who were wandering around, and put away his wooden knife to look at Saijo, who was coughing in the middle.
"Ancient ...... Ancient swordsmanship...... Saijo's face turned pale and he looked around in despair, "My dojo ......"
"Is the dojo really that important? Whether it's the title of Yoshitsune or Benkei, you are not qualified to have it, it was wrong from the beginning. ”
Gao Cheng looked past the crowd and looked at the Buddhist temple, and the surrounding warriors retreated again and again, and even the archers' arms trembled.
"Joto!" Hattori rushed back to the Jade Dragon Temple with Uncle Maori and a group of policemen, and was shocked to see the situation at the scene, and was about to help relieve the siege, but the ghost-faced samurai shouted and dropped their swords and scattered.
"What's going on?" Hattori was stunned, and in confusion, he followed Xiaolan and the police to hunt down the criminals.
"Catch them all!"
Ayakoji ordered his men to arrest the many fleeing samurai, wiped his sweat and looked at Gao Cheng, who jumped along the cherry blossom tree onto the roof of the temple.
"What about contacting me if you have a clue? This guy ......."
"What's wrong?" Hattori followed and climbed to the roof, and saw Gao Cheng looking around in a daze, "I've seen the condition of that guy in Saijo, it's amazing, where did you learn swordsmanship?" ”
Gao Cheng didn't respond, pointing to the building structure of the Jade Dragon Temple and said: "I have already asked before coming here, what seems to be the origin of the name of the Jade Dragon Temple, you see, that treasure map not only implies that the Buddha statue is hidden in the Jade Dragon Temple, but also points out ......where the Buddha statue is in the Jade Dragon Temple."
"What is this?" Hattori looked at the houses in surprise, "The shape of this temple is simply the word 'jade'!" Do you say ......"
Seeing the bell tower in the front yard that represented a little jade, Hattori's face tightened, and he didn't care about saying more, and hurriedly returned to the ground from the cherry blossom tree next to him and ran to the bell tower.
"Strange, no......"
When Gao Cheng followed into the bell tower, Hattori was still rummaging inside, but the bell tower was empty, and there was no hidden grid, only a big bell was hanging......
"I think it should be on the roof of the attic," Conan said coldly, smiling and analyzing, "Add a treasure cover to the jade character, and it becomes a treasure character, and the treasure cover refers to the roof." ”
"There really is!" Hattori climbed up the ladder to the roof, "Kudo, you guy is reliable at this time......"
"Please, what's that?" Conan didn't have a good breath and said, "Hurry up and take it down and send it back to Sanno Temple, I'm going to pay a visit tomorrow." ”
"It's up to you to say this, of course I'll send it back."
……
The next day, Hattori secretly sent the Buddha statue and crystal beads back to Sanno Temple in their entirety without telling Uncle Maori, but seeing that the crystal beads that had been kept for many years were gone, it was inevitable that he was a little lost.
"In the end, there is no longer even the only clue, and I am afraid that I will never see that girl again......"
At Kyoto Station, Hattori still looked sentimental when he saw him off.
Gao Cheng smiled lightly: "How can any girl sneak into Shanneng Temple casually like you?" I listen to the work...... Conan said that the lyrics sung by that girl are a little different from those in Kyoto, right? In the morning, he told me that when she went to a relative's house in Kyoto with you eight years ago, she went to Sannoji Temple to look for you, and when she didn't see anyone, she slapped the ball under the cherry blossom tree a few times and left......"
Hattori's eyes widened and he stammered, "Really?!" This, that is to say, the girl under the cherry blossom tree is ......"
"Say what?" He Ye walked over with Xiaolan Yuanzi curiously, "Pingji, have you found that first love girl?" Who is it? Isn't that the dancer? ”
"I'm not telling you, stupid."
"Stingy! Tell me what's the matter! ”
"Want to know? I'll talk about it in a thousand years......" Hattori glanced at Kazuha secretly, "Did we come to Kyoto together to play in the third grade of elementary school?" ”
"Huh? Don't you remember? At that time, my relatives helped me put on a kimono, tie my hair in a bun, and helped me put on a little makeup......" He Ye said unhappily, "By the way, when I was still preparing, you were impatient, saying that you would go to Shannei Temple to play, and I would go to Shannei Temple to find you later!" ”
"Is there one?"
"Of course there is!"
Gao Cheng saw Hattori, who was happy, and walked away silently with a smile, looking at the cherry blossom trees outside the station.
Saijo Taiga and those disciples were all arrested, and with the voice recorder he provided, it took almost no effort for the police to find out the ins and outs of the case, and the mission was successfully completed.
When you return to Tokyo, let's help Xiao Ai investigate Dr. Miyano......
Gao Cheng turned his gaze to the other side and found Xiao Ai and Yuan Zi sitting on the bench staring at each other.
"Huh?"
