Chapter 154: Hunting the Lonely Shadows
In the process of passing through the illusion, Kotaro regains his memory under the stimulation of the similar scenery, and he remembers his original duty.
Originally, Kotaro and his father were both servants in charge of taking care of the changing Miko, but when his father learned of the existence of Gennonomiya and Sengo, he soon lost his heart under the temptation of immortality.
Of course, in the end, this person who deviated from his duty did not end well, he died in the dungeon of Ashina, and Kotaro, who was mentally shocked and lost his memory, escaped from the dungeon alone, and subconsciously returned to Xianfeng Temple, where he happened to be met by Lu Xiao.
According to Kotaro, the reason why he was able to grow so strong may be because he loved to eat persimmons from persimmon trees watered by source water since he was a child, and the local people of Ashina called Taro persimmons.
Taro persimmon is affected by the special power of the source water, and it contains a lot of vitality, which is just right for people who have too much overdraft power like Miko.
"Miko, let's eat."
Kotaro smiled and handed a huge persimmon to the eyes of the changing Miko.
Panting, Miko seemed to be attracted by the vitality in the persimmon, and after taking the persimmon, he took it and devoured it.
"Hmm~ delicious."
Under the effect of the vitality replenished by Taro Persimmon, Miko's breathing gradually returned to normal.
"Whew~"
Wiped the stains on his hands with a silk scarf, and said to Lu Xiao embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my eating appearance is too out of shape, right?" ”
Lu Xiao shook her head disapprerovingly: "It doesn't matter what you eat, these rice are all made by you with your own vitality, right?" ”
"Hmm...... That's the only thing I can do now. ”
The role of Bianruo Yuzi and Longyin Yuzi is similar to that of the Crystal Tower, which can only provide buffs to allies, and cannot personally go into battle to kill the enemy, this sense of powerlessness makes Bianruo Yuzi hope to provide some help to Lu Xiao and others.
"I appreciate your kindness."
Lu Xiao poured the rice he had just gotten into the rice bag, and the rice he got from Bianruo Yuzi last time hadn't been used yet.
"Da~"
Passing through the entrance of the main hall of Xianfeng Temple, there was a sudden slight sound, and Lu Xiao's movements paused slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Kotaro and Miko Kanruo didn't have as strong hearing as Lu Xiao, they didn't feel anything.
Lu Xiao got up without moving and said: "It's nothing, it's almost time for me to leave, become like a royal son, I hope you can take care of your body and stop coming around, Kotaro will stay and continue to take care of you." ”
A bright and gentle smile appeared on the face of the Miko Changing Princess: "Call me Himeko, this is the name that my parents who have long since passed away in bliss. ”
"Okay, Himeko."
"I still have a task ahead of me, and I'll see you next time."
After saying goodbye and turning around, Lu Xiao's originally smiling expression suddenly became solemn.
"Lonely shadows, I didn't expect you to find this place, just right, saving me from catching gophers everywhere." ’
……
The lone ninjas of the Inner House are uniformly dressed, wearing purple striped coats, and their left hands are mostly tucked into their chests and motionless, making people mistakenly believe that they are all one-armed people.
But in reality, the left hand of these insidious ninjas is the biggest killer, and once the enemy reveals a flaw, their poisonously tempered left hand will show its sharp fangs.
The Lone Shadow Crowd knew that there must be some secrets hidden in the Xianfeng Temple, but the Xianfeng Temple had been under the protection of the warrior monks and the Chaos Wave Sect before, and even the Lone Shadow Clan, who were allies, could not enter and leave the temple at will.
Under Lu Xiao's cleanup, all the mentally distorted insect appenders were cleared, and the chaotic waves also had infighting because of the loss of their masters, the defense of Xianfeng Temple was useless, and the Lone Shadow Crowd finally found an opportunity to infiltrate this mysterious temple.
Like Kuichiro, who was the first to get the moon near the water, the Lone Shadows found no valuable clues in the Nuoda Temple, and they finally set their sights on the inner temple gate, which could not be opened no matter what.
"Boom!"
During the Warring States period, Japan began to initially use firearms, such as iron cannons and large barrels in the Japanese population, which were actually inferior arquebuses and artillery that were no longer used in Europe at that time.
The method used by the Lone Shadows to break down the door was also using gunpowder, and they wanted to blow the closed door open with an explosives pack.
However, the gate to the inner temple was a sturdy barrier created by the Immortal Peak Master using supernatural means, and it was impossible to cause any damage to it by physical means, at least the gunpowder used by the Lone Shadow Crowd was far from powerful.
"Nope."
One of the lone shadows frowned and said, "The gate is still motionless, it seems that it is unlikely to be forcibly destroyed. ”
"Masao, let's split up, there should be a way to bypass this gate."
Another lone shadow who looked almost identical from the outside nodded, "Okay, just be, be careful, I've always found this temple odd." ”
'Just, right, right? ’
Lu Xiao, who was squatting on the beam to gather all her breath, touched her chin thoughtfully.
'Hattori Hanzo's real name is Hattori Masanari, and it seems that the so-called Lonely Shadow People are the incarnation of Iga ninjas in the wolf world. ’
The two solitary shadows, who were moving separately, searched around the edge of the main hall, trying to enter another path to the inner hall.
But their actions are destined to be useless, there was only one entrance to the inner hall of Xianfeng Temple at the beginning of the construction, and the entire inner hall was firmly protected by the illusion, and if they did not pass the test of the illusion, no matter how much the lonely shadows looked for it, it would be useless.
The scattered two gave Lu Xiao a chance to break through, and seeing that Zhengxiong below bent down to move the wine jar to find the gap in the secret passage, Lu Xiao jumped off the beam.
Masao is an elite ninja who has been through a hundred battles, although he didn't detect Lu Xiao's traces in advance, but the inexplicable threat coming from his head made him instinctively roll to the left.
"Dangchang!"
The jar fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound, and Masa, who was searching for the other side, immediately stopped and accelerated in the direction where Masao was.
Lu Xiao had already prepared for the ninja's extraordinarily keen sixth sense, and after deliberately revealing his murderous aura to force the other party to dodge, he stepped out of the air and kicked on the pillar to fine-tune the angle of his fall.
"Good hiding, but there's no point."
Masao heard the enemy's voice coming from behind him, and in desperation, he wanted to turn his head to see the other party's face clearly, but at this time, Lu Xiao's Hidden Blade had already avoided the ribs and stabbed him in the heart.
"Ugh!"
This time, Lu Xiao didn't cover Zhengxiong's mouth, and let his last scream spread in the quiet hall.
Hearing the wailing of his younger brother, he gritted his teeth and sped up on the way to the road.
There are nineteen leaders in this generation, and they are all sons of the previous leader, half-brothers.
Not to mention the strong fertility of the previous leaders of the Lone Shadow Clan.
When Sung arrives at the scene, he can only see Masao's body sitting against the wall with his eyes closed, his mortally wounded by the pierced heart.
"Whew~"
With a long breath of turbidity, he forced himself to calm down, as the eldest of the nineteen brothers, his experience in completing the task was unmatched among the contemporary lone shadows.
'Spiegel stops water. ’
Two peers, who are also hidden, search for each other's traces in this tranquil monastery.
Lu Xiao, who was waiting for work, took some of the leads, and he saw with his own eyes that Zheng was hiding his breath and hiding in the shadows of the main hall, and he had a preconceived impression that Zheng Zheng's whereabouts were not completely out of his grasp.
'The second. ’
In order not to make any sound, Lu Xiao did not unfold the folding crossbow in his left arm, but popped out the sleeve gun in his right hand, infused a small amount of magic power, and then shot decisively.
"Whoosh!"
A slight sound of breaking the air sounded, and one of the pillars of Xianfeng Temple was pierced through a tiny hole.
"Smack~"
The man who had been hit in the forehead fell to his knees with an expression of disbelief, blood slowly flowing from his forehead where he had been shot.
Lu Xiao smiled silently: "Times have changed, my lord." ”
