The sound of a gust of wind howling into the forest, it seems that the sea breeze here is really fierce.

Ah Song: "Why is it so windy, there shouldn't be a hurricane at this time, it seems that I can't go to sea tomorrow." ”

Reiko: "Don't be nervous, this is the way the Wind Blades communicate, it looks like my partner has come to pick me up." ”

Then Reiko opened the door and let out a similar whisper, and after a while, four men in black came, three men and one woman, the woman was covered with a light veil, and her face could not be seen clearly in the dark night. As soon as the visitor appeared, Reiko knelt down on one knee in front of them, and it was not until the woman who looked like the leader waved her hand that Reiko stood up.

Masked woman: "Li, why are you so careless and being followed?"

Reiko: "I'm sorry, Nightingale-sama, my subordinates didn't expect that the Onmyoji would send samurai to ambush the surroundings. ”

Nightingale: "Li, since the assassination failed, presumably they will also strengthen their guards, this mission fails, you go back and receive your own punishment." Who are these other two?"

Reiko: "My subordinates obey orders, this thinner one is my younger brother Ah Song, and the one next to me is Jiang Hejun, my brother's friend." Both of us can be trusted, and they won't betray us, so you can rest assured. ”

Nightingale nodded, seeing Reiko's younger brother cowering in appearance, he was frightened at first glance, it was estimated that if it wasn't for his own sister Reiko by his side, he would have shouted out......

The nightingale suddenly drew her saber and pointed it directly at the throat of the river, so fast that even Reiko didn't have time to stop it: "Lord Nightingale!

Jiang He felt a sharp knife technique rushing towards him, with the whirring sound of the blade rubbing against the air, Jiang He rolled sideways and flashed to the side, and pressed his hand on the wooden floor to pull out a wooden knife, but failed. Then he felt the blade sweeping, and a backflip once again avoided the nightingale's pursuit, and the nightingale was not ambiguous, and immediately changed the sweep to a stab, but Jiang He cleverly dodged it, and five consecutive hits like this were all missed.

Nightingale put away her saber and asked Jiang He, "Who are you, and why do you have such agility?"

Jiang He was still wondering, he could clearly feel the existence of the wood attribute, but he couldn't successfully use it, and when he heard the nightingale ask, he stood up: "I'm Jiang He, and I've always had such skills, but you suddenly attacked, do you want to test my strength?"

Nightingale: "That's right, you don't look like an ordinary person anyway, so test your strength, if you don't dodge, I'm also fully sure that the blade will stop before it hurts you, but judging from the dodge speed just now, you really have a good strength, compared to these subordinates around me." ”

Reiko, including the three black-clothed people around her, was a little surprised, Lord Nightingale is a ninja, and he is known for his speed in the Wind Blade Crowd, even if he is at the same level of upper ninja, it is difficult to compete with Lord Nightingale's speed, and he has to hit at least two of the five moves. This Jianghejun was able to avoid them all.

Jiang He's heart was also fluctuating at the moment: "The Ainu Kingdom has a very strong demonic spirit, which has caused the attributes of the five elements to be disrupted, and I can only dodge and cannot effectively counterattack, and my current strength is probably not even one-tenth of my usual state; ”

Nightingale: "I really can't imagine that with the ninja's intelligence gathering ability, I would miss a strong man like you, are you willing to join our 'Wind Blades'?" I am willing to give up the position of captain to you." ”

Hearing this, the four black-clothed Wind Blades shouted in unison, "Lord Nightingale!"

The nightingale waved her hand, waiting for Jiang He's answer.

Jiang He shook his head lightly, revealing his trademark smile: "Thank you, Nightingale Girl, I haven't thought about joining any forces yet, but one thing is for sure, our ultimate goal is the common enemy, the godslayer. ”

The nightingale smiled too, and although it was covered by a light veil, the changing arc of the vivi could not hide from those present.

The nightingale opened a tube of scrolls and handed it to Jiang He: "This is a map of the entire territory of the Ainu. There are all the castles, towns, land, harbors, and waterways, but none of the hermits' locations are marked on the map, so if you figured it out that day and would like to join the Wind Blades, please come to Sendai no Machi. The nightingale pointed to the icon of a town.

Then the nightingale leaned into Jiang He's ear and whispered, "Tie a black cloth around your left arm, and our people will go and talk to you." The answer code is: Where will the wind and rain fall? You only need to answer: The sword and sword shadow cut the snake and the fox. If you don't want to join the Wind Blades, but need to entrust us with help gathering intelligence, or assassination, tie a black cloth around your right arm, and one of our people will come and talk to you, and the answer is: gold is gold, silver is silver, and it is easy to say. You answer: People are human affections, friendship is priceless. ”

After saying that, Nightingale left the map scroll and left with his men. Reiko also left a small sum of money before parting.

Jiang He: "Your name is Ah Song, right?"

At this moment, there was no one else in the dark night, it was very quiet, Jiang He's sudden inquiry really startled Ah Song, what he experienced tonight was too abrupt, and he hadn't figured it out yet: thinking of the beautiful man in front of him who was about the same age as himself, although he was not hostile, and he was not the target of the execution team, but he, he also had a rebellious ambition.

Ah Song: "Yes, yes, Jianghe, Jun." What, what?"

Jiang He patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean to hurt you, I know that you are very opposed to your sister and me's approach, I will leave here when I have time to avoid any impact on your life in the future." But now I want to know where to learn these ghost talismans? Can you teach me?" Jiang He pointed to the unintelligible Ainu on the map.

Seeing that it wasn't a big deal, Ah Song's tension eased: "You, aren't you illiterate?"

Jiang He nodded, but there was a sigh in his heart: The whisper of life can allow me to communicate verbally, but there is nothing I can do about this kind of writing, and it is the first time I have seen it. (Going abroad is really no different from being illiterate.) ）

Amatsu: "Actually, I don't know how to read, but fortunately, there is a teaching house in Edo Castle, you can go and see it, but the entrance fee is relatively high." In addition, there is a Tengen Shrine not far from Honmachi, and the shrine maidens in it are also proficient in literature and helpful. ”

Jiang He: "Okay, Asong, thank you. Tomorrow, I still need to trouble you to take me to Tianyuan Shrine. ”

Ason: "Oh, good, good"

So the two of them retreated into the darkness again.

Maybe the frightened thing had passed, or maybe it was because of the "strong man" Jiang He by his side, Ah Song soon fell asleep and snored slightly.

Jiang He leaned against the wooden wall, closed his eyes, and was still thinking about a strategy to break the enemy: "The first time I encountered this situation, I couldn't use the mystery of the Xuanyuan Sword, which had always been invincible to deal with the charm and spirit, and the five elements attribute was like a naughty child who didn't listen to the dispatch, and he was now penniless, he was still illiterate, in addition to the brain that could think independently, he only had this brute strength." Judging from the situation described by the nightingale, I will fight with her on a par, such strength can't even touch the fur of the demon beast, do you want to join the Wind Blade Crowd? and then contact all forces to fight to the death! Hey headache, don't think about the problem so far away, travel and learn one side first, it is best to solve the mystery of the limited attributes and the mystery of swordsmanship......

The sky has turned from dark to bright, and a rooster crow sounded in the distance, indicating the beginning of a new day. Jiang He decided to take a stroll around here first, it was better than sitting in a daze.

Stepping out of the cabin, I took in the beauty of a foreign country. The sea breeze blows on the face, with a slight chill unique to the early morning, and the morning light spreads through the sea and sky, like the golden light of the cloak of the god of war. There are dozens of fishing boats stranded on the beach, ranging in size but sturdy, and the fishermen's dwellings are scattered, but they show a kind of free and serene beauty.

Jiang He walked into the beach, stepped on the soft fine sand, stepped on the cold water, looked at the strange and varied shells scattered on the ground, and occasionally saw the small sea crabs walking horizontally with shells on their backs. Take a deep breath, the powerful water attribute breath, mixed with the salty taste of the sea, well! There is still a little gold and earth attribute breath in the sea, it seems that there are a lot of metal ores in the sea; the sea water is blue and clear, and the shallow sea is as far as you can see, and there are all kinds of small lives such as swimming fish, shrimp, and turtles in the sea, and they have started to be busy for the new day earlier than the fishermen who get up early.

Time passed unconsciously, and these people who were begging for a living at the bottom also got up one after another to get busy, and they all nodded politely when they saw Jiang He. The rivers watch the sturdy fishermen swaying their boats after the fish, the slender pearl divers identifying shellfish in the shallow waters and priing open the shells with knives to remove the pearls, the elderly women mending their nets in front of their homes, and children frolicking on the beach to see who can find the bigger and more beautiful shells and conchs.

"I'm sorry, Jiang Hejun, I actually overslept. When Ah Song got up, he saw that Jiang He was not in the house, and when he came out, he saw Jiang He enjoying the scenery on the beach, so he chased him over and apologized.

Jiang He smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Ah Song was tired last night." ”

Ah Song scratched his head embarrassedly, and then took the river along the direction of the woods, these trees are very high, until close to the top of the tree there are leaves that unfold like flowers, according to Ah Song's introduction, these trees are called coconut trees; it is not yet the fruiting season, otherwise it will produce a coconut as big as a head, the shell is hard, you can suck the sweet coconut water inside after breaking the shell, it is refreshing and thirst-quenching to drink in summer, the coconut fruit inside is as white as milk, and it is also a good dessert to cool off.
