Lord Priest, Lord Moon Shadow of the Dark Moon is here. The shrine maiden Ayun shouted outside the hall.

Jiang He tilted his head slightly, looking at the man who was called Lord Moon Shadow, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, heroic and compelling, about twenty years old, with a sun-like mark on his forehead.

Moon Shadow glanced at the river lying on the ground and looking at herself, and then at the priest: "Grandma, who is this young man as beautiful as me, Tianyuan Shrine now also accepts male sacrifices." ”

The priest smiled: "My little good grandson, he is naughty again." This kid is not simple, he is a savior we are looking for in the shrine, and he is currently living here, and this time I called you here to let you see the black flame on his body. ”

"Black Flame!!" Moon Shadow only then noticed a compressed mass of Black Flame in his abdomen. To the surprise of Moon Shadow, although the black flame was like a maggot attached to the bone, it was always controlled in a fixed range and did not spread.

Moon Shadow said lightly, "But it's the first time I've seen such a situation." ”

The black flame is extremely harmful, and the stronger the person, the longer the black flame can resist the black flame's devouring, even if it is as strong as the priest's grandmother, it can't make the black flame stop spreading.

If it was encountered by himself, it would only last for a day, and before that, I am afraid that he would have already swung his knife to cut off the area devoured by the black flame.

Priest: "Little good grandson, you have studied Heiyan more, do you have a solution?"

Moon Shadow shook her head slightly, then nodded slightly.

The witches on the side couldn't bear it anymore: "Lord Moon Shadow, if there is any way to say it, there is always a chance to try." ”

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Moon Shadow slowly spoke: "This! You know, the black flame is the divine fire of Anameasu, and it can't be resisted by conventional methods, if it is an arm or leg that encounters a black flame, it will be cut off! But close to the heart, ......"

Seeing that everyone was slightly disappointed, Moon Shadow took out a scroll and opened it carefully to check the relevant records.

The priest's grandmother also took the ancient book "Gokagura" and discussed it with Moon Shadow and the shrine maidens.

Suddenly, Moon Shadow shouted, "Yes, there's a trick we can try." ”

Everyone looked at Moon Shadow with a look of anticipation and adoration.

Moon Shadow: "First, we're going to kill him first." ”

River: "......"

Priest: "......"

Shrine Maiden: "......"

Moon Shadow: "Don't be nervous, I mainly want him to temporarily separate his soul from his body, and then cut off the area where Hei Yan is located, and then Grandma will use the shrine secret technique to regenerate the big hole in his chest, so that his heart and other damaged organs can be regenerated." Finally, he will return his soul to its place. ”

The priest's grandmother fell into deep thought, and everyone waited quietly, not daring to breathe.

After a while, the priest's grandmother returned from her thoughts and nodded in agreement.

Jiang He had been to the Netherworld before, and he had also used spiritual attacks, and he knew how to get his soul out of his body, so he wanted to explain it first.

Moon Shadow's attack came like a rainstorm.

Moon Shadow sighed, "I'm Amaterasu, what is the condition of this sword's unharmed sturdy body. ”

Jiang He didn't understand what the situation was, but he was secretly using his soul out of body at this moment.

As soon as the soul was separated from the body, Hei Yan burned wildly uncontrollably, everyone was startled, and immediately retreated when they saw that the situation was not good, so that Hei Yan did not hurt others, but Jiang He's body had been burned out, and when Hei Yan dispersed, only a crystal clear skeleton remained.

Jiang He, who was in the soul state, looked at his skeleton and froze for a while.

Moon Shadow: "Ah, how could this be! I didn't mean to. ”

The priest's grandmother could only sigh softly, in their eyes, the river was powerless to return to the sky.

"Don't worry, Grandma Priest, I'm still here!" The crisp sound of the river sounded in the air, and everyone looked around, but there was no one in sight.

Priest's grandmother: "Child, are you in a state of soul now?"

Jiang He: "yes. As soon as the words fell, all the witches, including the priest's grandmother, recited the nine-character mantra.

This set of mantras allows them to see the river in their soul state, and Moon Shadow knows that the river is beside him, but he can't see it, but fortunately, after the witch reverses the spell, they all face in one direction, and Moon Shadow understands where the river really is.

So Moon Shadow said to the air (river): "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to cut off the location of the black flame, but I didn't hold the ......."

Jiang He: "Haha, it's okay, it's not bad for a soul to be separated from the body, at least I can't feel the burning feeling that life is worse than death." ”

Moon Shadow: "The atmosphere of the Ainu Kingdom is full of sin, and the soul state usually only survives for twelve hours before it is polluted, it would be better to be a temple here, but it should not be too long, you enter my scroll to inhabit first, I will take you to the Dark Moon first, your skeleton will be placed here first, let Grandma help you recover your body, and when your body recovers, I will send you back." ”

Jiang He nodded, and when Moon Shadow opened the scroll and greeted the witches, he attached it to it.

Moon Shadow couldn't see that Jiang He was still waiting for the result, and didn't put away the scroll until the priest's grandmother reminded him.

Jiang He in the scroll was pleasantly surprised to find that he could actually communicate with Moon Shadow himself, and at the same time share vision with Moon Shadow, simply put, what Moon Shadow sees, he can also see.

Moon Shadow takes the river all the way over the mountains, sometimes climbing the steep peaks, sometimes swimming in the reverse direction in the water, sometimes walking in dangerous swamps, sometimes interspersed with gloomy dense forests.

In just five days, the journey was full of difficulties and dangers! Dangers lurked! The Dark Moon was indeed very hidden.

A secluded place like a peach orchard fairyland, the southeast relies on the volcano as a natural danger, this is an active volcano, but because of the perennial snow appears silvery and beautiful, the northwest is an unattainable cliff, under the cliff is the bottomless sea, between the north and the south is the only sheep intestine trail that can lead to this paradise, if it is not for the ninjas of the Dark Moon, I am afraid that they will have to go through the test of nine deaths and a lifetime, plus a little luck to successfully arrive.

This is a natural sanctuary, built by nature's ingenuity, and it is also the best place to practice, where the climate is excellent, warm in winter and cool in summer, abundant aura can make people energetic in the shortest time, and outside this small circle is the most test of people's willpower, endurance, and agility.

Based on the communication between Moon Shadow and the villagers (Zhong Shinobi), Jiang River has a deeper understanding of the Dark Moon Clan. There are about 200 people here, of which the supreme leader is Moon Shadow, who is responsible for all the big and small affairs of the Dark Moon Clan, and there are three special ninja deacons under Moon Shadow, who are responsible for assisting Moon Shadow and managing the village, and then down is the upper ninja, who is mainly responsible for receiving commissions outside (including all kinds of dangerous assassinations, guarding, stealing valuables or intelligence) in exchange for necessary living materials; ,So in addition to cultivation, Xia Ren is also responsible for cultivating all sundries such as textiles here;Finally, there is no forbearance (including the meaning of ninja), generally children or ninja marry/marry lovers, most of them are ordinary people who do not have any ninja ability. The same as the lower ninja is not qualified to leave the ninja village, in fact, the natural barrier on the periphery is not enough to leave the ninja village with their strength.

It's been May.

In the past five months, Jiang He has watched Moon Shadow busy with the affairs of the Dark Moon Crowd every day, guiding and strengthening the development of secret arts of various ethnic groups, and the coordinated use of strategy, tactics, and ninjutsu.

In the dead of night, the river will be released through the secret technique "soul materialization" to breathe, but this secret technique only allows the river to enter the special soul scroll of the moon shadow, and it must be used in the dark night, when the sun is about to come out, the river must be returned to the scroll from the new, otherwise the soul will be affected.

It was a gloomy evening, drizzling and the mountain road was slippery, adding a bit of murder to the already difficult secret passage. Four assassins of the Wind Demon Clan, one of the Nakin of the Moon Shadow Clan, prepares to secretly attack the village.

Unfortunately, one of the unlucky assassins slipped on the muddy mountain road, and although the sound was not loud, they were both detecting and counter-detecting ninjas and were immediately discovered. Nakashinobu pulled a short whistling arrow from his bosom and launched it high into the air before being killed. Seeing the news of the Howling Arrow, the Ninja Village immediately entered a state of emergency alert, and Moon Shadow even led the five Shangninas to speed towards the launch site of the Howling Arrow.

The battle was faster than expected, and it ended just after it began, but fortunately, Jiang He's memory was outstanding, and it happened to be from the perspective of Moon Shadow to see the whole battle, and he was able to completely record every detail in the process.

At the beginning of the battle, the five shinobi blocked the assassins' retreat in a closed circle, and then Moon Shadow half-crouched on the trunk of the tree, and sealed with extremely fast hand speed: Yin, Hai, Shen, Xu, Chen, Wu, and Mao.

Fast as the wind, as fast as lightning, the four assassins fell to the ground in blood before they could react.

The five shinobi who traveled with him may have become accustomed to it, but Jiang He was full of surprise and shock in the scroll.

"How is this possible, it is completely contrary to common sense. Jiang He muttered to himself, closing his eyes and revisiting the details beyond his comprehension.

Jiang He noticed that he had been in a half-crouching position for a short time after the Moon Shadow seal until the end of the battle. And his shadow! His shadow actually changed from the initial half-squatting posture to a state of free movement!

Although it was a gray and rainy day, the shadows were dim and faint, and the visibility was not high. Even Jiang He, who has a great memory, struggles to recall this inconspicuous moment.

Moon Shadow's shadow pulled out the ninja knife, perhaps it would be more accurate to call it the shadow of the ninja knife, and then slid to the ground towards the first assassin, and gently wiped the ninja knife against the neck of the other party's shadow, and the shadow's owner spurted out a stream of blood from the neck, and passed away......

The assassination from the first to the fourth place was only a few seconds, but the action was like water, and it was done in one go.

"Perfect, it's the art of assassination. Jiang He sighed softly.

Jiang He didn't notice at all that he, who had always hated killing, had slowly changed his view of death at some point......

"It seems that the Wind Demons have already made a move to dispose of these corpses. Inform the special deacon to come to me for deliberations. Moon Shadow commanded in a low voice.

"Yes, Lunaris-sama. The shinobi nodded in agreement.

Moon Shadow looked up at the sky and sighed softly, letting the rain beat against his forehead and cheeks.
