Chapter 38: The Three Classics
The white cloth was casually thrown on the ground by Yun Qi, very close to the demon monk.
Because more and more blood flowed from the demon monk's body, in the end, the white cloth was dyed half red.
In this way, under the stain of blood, the white cloth absorbed the color of blood, and a different picture appeared on the originally white surface.
A line of the same color as the blood appears, and on the part of the blood stained, it outlines a picture, like a map mark.
The rest of the body is not as bright red as the blood, so it is not easy to see clearly.
"Three Classics! That's right! Yun Qi exclaimed.
He picked up the cloth called the "Three Classics Diagram", looked closely, and finally discovered the Tao in it.
Originally, the map of the Three Classics was made of a mixture of cotton cloth and silk, with a white background, and it was not possible to see the reason for it at all, only when the blood penetrated into it, the part made of cotton cloth was full of blood and water, and it was quickly dyed red; Silk occupies most of the Three Meridians and does not absorb much water, so the two shades of color outline a true Three Classics.
This design is probably to better blackmail Toyotomi Hideyori's envoy, or to prevent the other party from killing people.
Yun Qi was excited, and there was a kind of joy that he had lost and regained.
Finally discovered the secret of the Three Classics Diagram!
Because the Three Classics Diagram is a reward other than the task, Yun Qi didn't get a prompt from the system when he got it before, so he had the idea of being played by the system.
Now that I think about it, the main god's dedication to the reincarnation is still very fair. It's just a little bit of a punishment in some way you don't expect.
If you give up on your own, then you can't blame the Lord God, because the truth is always in your hands.
In addition to sighing, Yun Qi was also secretly surprised by the scheming of the demon monk.
He immediately completely stained the Three Scripture Diagram with the undried blood of the demon monk, and soon. A map made of blood appeared in front of the trio.
If you look at the Three Classics from a modern perspective, you will immediately associate the word "shoddy" with it. However, as an ancient country with no satellites and no space technology, it is remarkable that it was able to roughly draw the outline of the four islands of Japan.
As for omitting small islands other than the four islands, it is commonplace. Don't worry too much about the little details.
Yun Qi found the general location of the outskirts of Edo where he was currently located, and also saw the location of Kyoto, the nominal capital of Japan, and Osaka Castle, where Toyotomi Hideyori lived.
Among them, the military fortresses are even more clear, including the number of troops deployed in the city.
Unfortunately, for the reincarnation, the value of this map is not as important as militarily.
Helena, who was watching from the sidelines, had already swept through it and exclaimed, "Why is there no Iga Hidden Country that we are looking for?" ”
Tie Feng also saw sweat on his forehead, and after making sure again, he said, "Don't talk about Yin Yinxiang." Even the Koga swastika is not marked. ”
A few minutes ago, the three of them were delighted that they had not yet recovered the Three Classics, but now they were once again disappointed by the ruthless reality, and this time, it was closer to despair.
The map of the Three Classics will not be fake, and it is destined that Yunqi's strategy of "taking the map first, and then attacking Iga" will be declared bankrupt.
This time, it was a real bankruptcy. There is not a single bit of ambiguity.
And what's even more unfortunate is that the three of them wanted to get this useless Three Classics diagram. Not to mention the danger of killing the demon monk, he also offended himself and Toyotomi Hideyori's people.
If Toyotomi Hideyori's envoy was determined to use the power of the Toyotomi family to pull out the three of them, it would not be worth it
However, the two were surprised to find that in Yun Qi's eyes, there was no frustration. Instead, it's more of a thrill.
"What do you see?" Helena asked.
Yun Qi didn't seem to hear Helena's call, and still devoted himself to the study of the Three Classics.
Helena knew that this was the other party's attitude in deep thought, so she didn't bother, and stood quietly by his side with her hands down.
After a while, Yun Qi let out a heavy breath. It's like unloading a load.
"Found Iga Hideaway?" Helena asked tentatively.
Yun Qi shook his head and said, "That's not true, but I know how to enter the Hidden Township." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a point on the map: "This is a place called Ako, and from here, we will soon find the exact location of Iga Hidden Village." ”
"Ako? What is that place, how does it seem to be close to the coastal part. Is that the base of the Iga Hidden Village? Helena immediately found where Ako was.
"No, Ako has no connection with the Hidden Township, but we can indirectly find the location of the Hidden Township through the Akaho." Yun Qi replied.
"How can you be so sure?" Helena couldn't even connect Ako with Iga Hidden Countryside even if she wanted to break her head, and the expression on Tetsufeng's face showed that he had similar thoughts as herself.
Yun Qi laughed and said, "Of course sure, do you know what kind of place Ako is?" ”
For this kind of question, both Helena and Tie Feng feel as if they are idiots, and they can say that they don't know anything.
Fortunately, Yun Qi didn't really wait for them to express his ignorance, he answered the question himself: "Ako is a famous salt producing area in Japan, and even in modern Japan, it is also an important place for industrial salt production. ”
"Salt production? What does this have to do with the place we're looking for? Helena grew more and more confused.
"Don't forget, salt is an essential mineral for the human body, and if you don't eat salt, you won't even be able to exert your strength. In ancient times, salt could be attributed to strategic goods and was strictly controlled by the government. Japan was influenced by China in ancient times, and its control over salt was very strict. Whether it's Koga or Iga, as a ninja group with the purpose of fighting and assassinating, the demand for salt is very high. ”
"So, you believe that Ako is an important channel for buying salt in the Iga Hidden Village? Yunqi, I admit that your idea is unique and reasonable, but you can't arbitrarily conclude the connection between Ako and the Iga faction just by relying on a single salt-producing area. Helena said, but she also felt that her words were too shocking, so she added another sentence to Yun Qi's resignation: "If we have enough time, I have no objection to going to Ako to investigate." ”
Helena's euphemism is actually against Yun Qi's way of gambling on luck and tying his fate to the ethereal probability. She was even worried that Yun Qi would lose her previous calm and wit because of the repeated blows in this operation.
Yun Qi smiled and said, "Then what if I'm ten percent sure?" (To be continued.) )
