From time to time, a dazzling electric light flashed in the gray sky, and a thick curtain of rain blurred people's eyes.

Shang Biao sat on Ji Maru's body, and the yin qi was emitted to form a shield, shielding the rain from himself and the impatient big cat.

"Meow, I've been looking for so many days......"

Yoshimaru shook the muddy water off his paws and complained quietly.

A hundred years of vicissitudes in this earthquake-prone island country are enough to change most of the environment. In particular, the fox demon did not leave any marks back then, causing Shang Biao to wander around this area for several days without finding Miyamoto Shinnosuke.

This made him a little skeptical about whether this two-day first-class hall master had successfully transformed into a spirit body, after all, the fox demon had not seen it with his own eyes.

"Finish this piece today, and leave if you don't have it."

Shang Biao's tone couldn't hear joy and anger, which made the big cat sitting down feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"Woo~ There is a smell of human blood ahead."

After walking for a while, Yoshimaru suddenly stopped, shook his head and sniffed the air carefully.

"Are there any bold youkai who are taking advantage of the rain to hunt for food?"

"Meow, no, it's just the smell of humans."

Shang Biao, who still believes in Yoshimaru's sense of smell, is very rare for humans to kill each other.

"Let's go and see."

If Shang Biao, a nearby villager who is lonely, doesn't mind collecting his soul and seeing if there is anything special around.

It's not like he hasn't been in the nearby villages in the past few days, but he's been staring at them like thieves. Just replenished some food, he was stopped and interrogated by an Ashigaru group with youkai blood.

If it weren't for the fear of leading out a master of a knife and delaying the search, he wouldn't have endured that.

Changed into Ryosuke Imagawa's painted skin, walking outside, the tiger skin of the Imagawa clan is still very useful.

Shang Biao was ready, put away Ji Maru and the double knife, and walked in the direction where the smell of blood came from, and it didn't take long to see the three groups of people facing each other in the rain from a distance.

"A group of monks, the onmyoji of the Hattori clan, and the ashigaru general who is a sword streamer, how can they all get together? It looks like there have been conflicts, which is kind of interesting. ”

The monks, the onmyoji of the Hattori clan are all very recognizable, the bald head is conspicuous, and the family emblem of the Hattori family, Shang Biao, has also seen it in books.

As for the ashigaru general, being able to appear in Izu Province must be the head snake of the sword. This can be seen from the Ashigaru group who followed him, and the ashigaru with the largest number of people.

If the samurai of the other three countries appeared in Izu Province so blatantly, if there was no reasonable explanation, they would be regarded as a provocation by Ichitoriusai.

"What people!"

Just when Shang Biao recognized the origin of the three gangs, a bitter and unobtrusive appeared in front of him, and Shang Biao subconsciously pulled out the weapon on his waist.

Kunai was knocked away, and his position was also exposed before the three groups of people.

It was the ashigaru general who made the shot, and Shang Biao guessed it even if he didn't see it. No matter which first-class school it is, it contains the technique of concealed weapon projection.

"The family crest of the Imagawa clan, Onmyoji?"

Shang Biao walked out of the shadows, and everyone saw the family emblem on his clothes.

General Ashigaru frowned, his eyes wandering back and forth on the onmyoji of the Hattori family and Shang Biao.

"Excuse me, Ryosuke Imagawa has seen you."

Shang Biao summoned Yoshimaru again, revealing his identity as an onmyoji.

"Hmph, it turns out that it's just a subordinate onmyoji."

General Ashigaru judged Shang Biao's strength from Yoshimaru, and snorted disdainfully.

"Ryosuke-san, please talk about it a little later."

One of the members of the Hattori clan stood up and greeted Shang Biao.

In terms of numbers, the number of samurai in Ichitorisai was the largest, with six. And there are only three onmyoji and monks.

When the Hattori family saw Shang Biao, they automatically classified him into their camp. If you fight again after a while, although the strength shown by this person is not high, it can be regarded as a help.

Shang Biao understood a general idea in his heart, although he didn't know what the purpose of these three groups of people gathered here, but this was a good opportunity to make friends with the Hattori family.

The Hattori clan inherited the Shikigami 'Taitsune', which is one of the two Shikigami that are most suitable for the Shang Biao contract, and the other is the 'Suzaku', and the inheritance family is the Tokugawa clan.

Taichang is a three-legged golden crow, and like 'Vermilion Bird', he is the most powerful fire-attribute god under the gods.

After that, if the plan goes well, Shang Biao will inevitably have to go to the Hattori clan or the Tokugawa clan.

Therefore, contacting the Onmyoji of the Hattori clan in advance is definitely beneficial and harmless.

This is not the most crucial, among the warriors and monks, the two acquaintances Shang Biao saw were the key to his determination to stay.

Since entering the theater and making a feud with himself, the only two who are still safe and sound have actually gotten together, and this world is really small.

Shang Biao shifted his gaze and said secretly in his heart.

The only woman among the samurai is Su Jin, who was the best opponent in the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas before, armed with a tiger-headed sword-swallowing spear.

The monks' gang are the heroes who have become bald and still can't hide their fierce momentum.

Shang Biao was wearing a painted skin at this time, and neither of them found out his identity.

However, looking at their appearance, they seem to have doubts about Shang Biao's origin.

Walking up to the members of the Hattori clan, Shang Biao took out a Liuhe Crystal representing his identity from his arms, making the other party completely believe in his identity.

After introducing each other, Shang Biao inquired about the purpose of their gathering.

"Ryosuke-san, these monks once sealed a powerful Shikami here decades ago. Not long ago, the seal was broken, and the Shikigami was probably about to get out of trouble, so just in case, we were assigned by the family to capture the Shikigami.

And these monks want to strengthen the seal and continue to raise that kind of god.

The samurai who also stabbed Ryusai, that Shikigami seems to have mastered some kind of mysterious secret art of Ichikage-ryu, and they say that it is to prevent Ichi-stab Ryusai from spreading the kendo, who knows what is going on. ”

Hattori Heiji, who was the first to greet Shang Biao, briefly introduced the ins and outs of the future, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the few monks next to him.

There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Shikigami, who can appear here by coincidence and is good at swordsmanship, is definitely Shinnosuke Miyamoto if nothing else.

It's just that the position has been found, but it is not easy to face so many competitors.

Shang Biao responded casually, showing that he had no interest in that kind of god, which made Hattori Heiji and several elders behind him very satisfied.

"Ryosuke-san, our Twelve Style God Family has always shared weal and woe, this time you help us take down this Shi God, and the old man of the Fuji family will definitely not treat you badly."

Hattori Heiji struck while the iron was hot, glanced at the emaciated middle-aged man behind him, and promised Shang Biao.

"It's because I should help, but my strength is low, and I'm afraid it won't make much difference."

Shang Biao waved his hand and lowered his posture to gain the favor of the other party, and sure enough, even the old man called Hattori Fuji showed a smile to him.
