Amaterasu Shrine is located not far behind the Imperial Palace, which may also be in line with the impression of the Sakura people that the emperor is Amaterasu Okami who walks on the ground.

The size of the shrine is very large, and the clergy who maintain it bow when they see Emperor Jimori coming.

"Do you feel it?"

When Izheng walked into this shrine, he felt a ... An atmosphere that has nothing to do with the sanctity of the shrine.

This breath is full of blood, like a lot of negative emotions entangled together, which makes people feel a little sick to their stomachs.

"I've felt the same breath in the Skinners' underground dungeon."

Zhao Chen's keen perception also detected the filth under the Amaterasu Shrine.

And the position that Nanaki, who is the compass, is pointing to is the direction and source of the filth.

"You... What I was looking for turned out to be Rasho's Gate. ”

When Emperor Jimori saw the direction Nanaki was pointing, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more solemn.

"Ghost Gate? Is there any evil thing under this shrine that suppresses anything? ”

Imasa senses that the filth rising from beneath Amaterasu Shrine is not simple.

This world is full of creatures such as spirits and monsters, and the earth spirit itself is a kind of spirit.

So it can't be ruled out that some dangerous monsters have been suppressed under this shrine.

"This shrine dedicated to Amaterasu has a history of 1,000 years, but the Rasho Gate under it has only recently begun to overflow with this... The evil spirit, the priests are worried that Rasho's gate will be opened, and Kyoto will usher in the legendary day of the night walk of the hundred ghosts. ”

As he spoke, Emperor Jimori had already led the crowd to the bottom of Amaterasu Shrine.

Underneath Amaterasu Shrine is a cave-like chamber that was clearly not built by Sakura, and judging from the stone pillars and various totemic insignias, it is full of Mayan, Aztec, and Inca civilizations.

When Emperor Jimori led the people to the end of the cave, a huge stone gate was presented in front of everyone.

This stone gate should be the 'door to return home' that Nanaki refers to, and in the hearts of the people of Fanying, this ancient stone gate seems to be regarded by them as the 'Rasho Gate' that connects to the Yellow Spring.

The filth that had begun to entrench on the stone gate in recent days confirmed the suspicions of the Amaterasu priests.

"Behind the door is your home?"

Zhao Chen turned his head sideways and asked Nanaki, who had been holding the corner of his clothes to come here.

When Nanaki saw the stone gate, she was obviously attracted by the familiar feeling on the stone door, but the filth that continued to overflow from the stone door made Nanaki feel very afraid and unfamiliar.

In the end, she could only hide behind Zhao Chen and nodded slightly.

"Can you activate it, then?"

Zhao Chen could already roughly guess the current environment in the Americas, and the source of the filthy breath was neither a ghost nor a monster, but a resentful spirit composed of the aborigines slaughtered by the colonists in the Americas.

Western nations are conducting flesh-and-blood research similar to the Skinning Gang, turning people's souls and flesh into energy for dragon veins, including even using the dead as weapons.

Obviously, the Ainland Empire is also doing related research, and the Americas... This land, where no one else but them can interfere, is undoubtedly an excellent testing site.

"But... OK. Nanaki's voice was much quieter, but Emperor Jimori still understood the meaning of the earth spirit's words.

The emperor, who had been very cooperative with Hua Guofang before, stood up and blocked Zhao Chen at this moment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, behind the door is the land of Yellow Springs! If this door is opened, the invasion of Kyoto by a hundred ghosts will inevitably put Kyoto in a difficult situation! Although the young Emperor Jimori was afraid, he plucked up the courage to warn.

"Your Excellency Zhisheng, the filthy qi of this door is condensed, it is obvious that someone behind the door wants to open it first, even if we don't do it first, the filthy qi of this door will open by itself when it condenses to a certain extent."

Imasa reminded Emperor Jimori that the filth condensed on this stone gate was not a good thing, and it was only a matter of time before the stone gate was activated and the resentful spirits gathered behind the gate rushed into Kyoto!

“……”

Emperor Jimori panicked when he heard Imasa's analysis, and the legend of the night walk of a hundred ghosts had long been spread among the cherry blossoms.

The worst thing is that the hundred ghosts behind this stone gate are not like the legend that can be driven away by 'sprinkling salt'!

Behind this stone gate, I am afraid that there is an army of resentful spirits composed of flesh and soul of the Native Americans, and their attack will inevitably destroy the lives of the whole of Kyoto.

But Huaguo is definitely going to open the stone gate.

There are still many Chinese citizens in the Americas who need to be rescued, and Shimen is the fastest and most efficient way for Chinese troops to go to the Americas.

The premise is to calm down the disaster of the hundred ghosts behind the stone gate first.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that with the current garrison in Kyoto, it won't be able to compete with Hyakki." Emperor Jimori bowed slightly to Ambassador Ho and said, "I beg your country..."

"It's not the right place to talk about that, Mr. Jisheng." Ambassador Ho interrupted Emperor Jimori and said, "If you really want to talk, please come back to the embassy in Japan with us for a detailed discussion." ”

"Of course..."

Emperor Jimori had already embarked on a path that was contrary to the Tokugawa shogunate, and now all he could do was to go all the way to the end.

………………

Kyoto, Embassy in Japan.

This is probably the only place where the eyes of the Tokugawa shogunate cannot reach, and from the moment the Changning entered the port, the Chinese citizens living here were protected by the People's Liberation Army.

But Yanagi Yuno still managed to sneak in, and before the embassy in Japan became an embassy, Yanagi Yuno was supposed to study in school.

So Yanagi Twilight relied on his familiarity with the distribution of the school to infiltrate the second floor of the embassy in Japan.

As soon as she landed on the ground, a dagger stabbed her, and as the daughter of a samurai family, Yanagi Shuno also drew her sword and fought back as soon as possible!

The dagger and the katana in Yanagi's hand are intertwined!

"Girl?" Yanagi Twino saw the figure of the person who pulled out the dagger and stabbed her, and the expression on her face was very shocked.

There are very few women who practice martial arts in the cherry blossoms, and she is the only one in the ashram of the Yanagi family who is qualified to practice swordsmanship.

But the figure holding the dagger in front of her is not only a woman, but also a girl, and her skill in using the dagger is cunning and vicious.

In the moment of Yanagi's froze, the dagger slashed across the blade of the katana in Yanagi's hand, accompanied by a piercing sound of metal grinding and bursting sparks, stabbing all the way towards Yanagi's throat!

"Wait..."Yanagi Twilight blocked the dagger that was stabbing at her with her sword, and after pushing the girl away, she quickly took a few steps back and widened the distance.

The girl didn't listen to her say so much, and just wanted to continue attacking Yanagi Twilight with her backhand, when a man walked into the room in an instant.

"Reihua? What's wrong, what's wrong? ”

Tu Xingchuan heard the sound of steel staggering in the room, and hurriedly walked in from the door, but saw Yanagi Yuno holding a katana in the room... The first time he threw his hand against the wall and spit it out.

"Go back! Close the door! ”

Linghua really wanted to kick Tu Xingchuan back, but Tu Xingchuan now has no ability to walk because of nausea.

"My name is Yanagi Tsuno! No hostility! There's something important to tell... The head of the embassy! Yanagi shouted at Reika.

It's a pity that she said in Japanese, Linghua didn't understand it at all, and suddenly broke into the embassy and had a saber, and Linghua had 10,000 reasons to correct Yanagi Twilight on the spot.

"Wait... Linghua, she seems to be a comrade. ”

But Tu Xingchuan understands Japanese, and the most important thing is that she feels a 'ideological tendency' in Yanagi Tsuno, which is completely different from the people of Sakura.

"What comrade? No matter what... Let her put the knife down, and the short knife on her body. Linghua said.

Reika's proposal was translated word by word by Tu Xingchuan to Yanagi Tsunai.

Although Yanagi Yuno hesitated, he still put the katana in his hand and the short knife in his kimono on the ground as a gesture of friendship.

"Sit there, I'm staring at you." Linghua said, pointing to a corner of a tatami mat.

Yanagi sat on the tatami mat very cooperatively.

Reika wasn't used to sitting on a tatami mat, so she moved a chair with a backrest and sat in front of Yanagi Tsuno, as if she was torturing her.

"Miss Yanagi, can you tell me... Trespassing on the embassy... cough..."Tu Xingchuan didn't have time to say a few words to Yanagi Yunai, and he felt a little like vomiting.

This made Yanagi Twilight to brace her eyebrows, she could endure Reika's strict requirements, after all, she was also an intruder.

But what's going on with this man Tu Xingchuan? I want to vomit just by looking at her... No matter how she is, she is also a beautiful girl who resounds inside and outside Kyoto, and I don't know how many aristocratic young people want to marry her.

This time, the man in front of him was disgusted when he looked at her? Is the aesthetic of Chinese men so different from that of cherry blossoms?

"He's a little uncomfortable here, and he doesn't understand me for you." Linghua said.

"I... I can understand. After Yanagi Shuno calmed down, he responded in Ottotsu, with a slight accent, "Isn't he used to the climate in Kyoto?" ”

"It's the idea of the common people." Linghua corrected the source of Tu Xingchuan's unsuitability.

"The people of the cherry blossoms? You... Can you feel the thoughts of the people of Kyoto? Yanagi asked in surprise.

"Well, I knew how to control this ability before I came here."

Tu Xingchuan took a deep breath of fresh air, his current symptoms were the same as those he had in the Great Xia Capital before.

The Son of the Dragon's Vein can absorb the thoughts of the people around him.

But once these ideas are thoughts that Tu Xingchuan can't agree with or accept, then Tu Xingchuan will be disgusted.

The thoughts of the people in the capital of Daxia were full of fear of the persecution of the grandfather of the government, as well as despair for their future life.

However, in Kyoto, most of the people's thoughts were reverence for the divinity of the emperor, and fear of the samurai who could kill people at will on the streets.

Neither of these ideas was acceptable to Tu Xingchuan, who grew up under the red flag.

"What about me?" Yanagi asked curiously.

"Slightly... Feel better. Tu Xingchuan looked at the cherry blossom girl in front of him and said.

"I'm feeling better... Difficulty because of my origins? Yanagi's curiosity led her to continue.

She was born into a samurai family, and her father was also a close confidant of the emperor, which made her vision much higher than that of ordinary people.

"Probably because you're questioning the emperor's divinity from the bottom of your heart? Thinking that the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and the emperor was problematic, and that the industrial and commercial classes should strive for a higher status? ”

Tu Xingchuan scratched his head, and roughly analyzed the mental journey of the young lady Yanagi Tsunai in front of him.

When she heard Tu Xingchuan's words, the expression on her face changed greatly, and she wanted to draw a knife to warn Tu Xingchuan not to talk nonsense.

But when she came back to her senses, she realized that her katana and short blade had been confiscated by Reika.

"That's why I said you could be our comrade." Tu Xingchuan said.

"......" Yanagi Twilight didn't know how to answer Tu Xingchuan.

In today's cherry blossom society, these thoughts of hers are all thoughts of being killed if she is rebellious.

"What are you doing here?" Reika is more concerned about the purpose of Yanagi Twilight to risk his life to infiltrate the Japanese embassy.

"Tokugawa... Tokugawa Rikatsu, the current shogun, intends to use the power of demons to drive you out! If it succeeds, I'm afraid I'll have to conquer the Chao Country..."Yanagi Shuno hurriedly said.

"Ghosts? What's that... Is it the kind of creature with horns on its head? ”

Tu Xingchuan made a double-horned gesture on his forehead, which is the red ghost and the blue ghost in traditional Japanese legends.

"No, something more terrible! Please stop him, or the whole of Kyoto and even the cherry blossoms will be burned to the ground! ”
