Chapter 260: The Hidden Sword

After Nana Hashimoto sat down, Akiramaru and Chiyo Gion knelt behind her, everything seemed to be the same as five hundred years ago, but the two little guys in the past have long since grown into big monsters who can take charge of themselves.

Seeing that Nana Hashimoto did not sit down, Qianye continued the topic with Tiger Chiyo just now, and opened his mouth to ask her: "So it was Tiger Chiyo who stole the two swords on the statue of the male god Susanoo that the Yellow Springs Sect worshipped, and stopped the Yellow Springs Sect's plan to summon Susanoo ten years ago?" How did you know about this, and how did you know that stealing those two swords would stop them from summoning Susanoo? ”

Seeing that Qianye asked this question, Nanami Hashimoto on the side also turned his gaze to Tiger Chiyo.

Seeing this, Tiger Chiyo no longer thought about the relationship between the Yuki Group and Nanami Hashimoto, and after sorting out his thoughts, he explained to Qianye: "This matter has to start from ten years ago, when I suffered some losses because I provoked the Huangquan Sect because of some accidents, so I wanted to take revenge on them for a breath." So I inquired in a lot and finally learned that they were going to have a very important sacrificial ceremony at that time. ”

"So you managed to disrupt their ritual and steal the two swords on the statue of Susanoo so that they could no longer perform the ritual of summoning Susanoo to descend?" Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Toragiyo's words, and couldn't help but guess curiously what she would do next.

Unexpectedly, Tiger Chiyo shook his head and denied Hashimoto Nanawei's speculation: "Naturally, the development of things did not go so smoothly, and I also spent a lot of energy at the beginning, and with the help of many friends, I learned that the sacrifice ceremony of the Huangquan Sect was not an ordinary sacrifice, but to summon Susanoo to come." After I learned of this, although I wanted to stop their sacrificial ceremony, I simply did not have the strength to break into the headquarters of the Yellow Springs Sect. ”

Tiger Chiyo's words made Nanami Hashimoto even more puzzled and curious, according to Tiger Chiyo, she should not have the strength to break into the Yellow Springs Sect headquarters and steal the two swords placed on the statue of Susanoo, so how did she finally complete the matter of stealing those two swords from the Yellow Springs Sect headquarters? Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but open her mouth and ask Tora Chiyo, "Then how did you do this?" If the headquarters of the Huangquan Sect is concerned, even the Great Youkai alone may not be able to escape with his whole body, right? Can anyone help you? ”

"There was indeed someone who helped me at that time, and if it weren't for her help, I wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of the Huangquan Sect headquarters." Tora Chiyo recalled the events of that year, but the expression on his face looked a little strange, as if he was trying to recall but couldn't remember anything: "But until now, it has taken me ten years, but I can't remember who helped me." Not only that, but I don't even remember how I entered the Huangquan Sect or how I stole those two swords, this memory is like being covered with a layer of fog to me, I just remember that I did these things, but I don't remember how I did them. ”

Tora Chiyo's words made the room fall silent for a while, such a strange thing, it was obvious that someone was behind the scenes.

Qianye frowned, Tora Chiyo's words made him have some bad associations, raised his finger to his lips, and read softly: "Show true knowledge!" Then he raised his hand and pointed at Tora Chiyo, and a white light shot into her forehead, and instantly penetrated from her eyebrows, disappearing. But in an instant, everyone in the room heard a sound like porcelain shattering coming from Tora Chiyo's forehead, as if something had been broken.

Tiger Chiyo was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to react yet, and only after a while did he rub his forehead, shake his head and thank Qianye: "Thank you Chiba-sama for helping me untie this layer of bondage, otherwise, I don't know how long this memory will haunt me." ”

After taking the teacup on the table and drinking it dry, Tora Chiyo wiped his lips with the back of his hand and continued: "I remember, it was a beautiful woman, but she had a fox smell on her body, which was different from the fox smell of ordinary foxes, and it was a very good smell. Other than that, she seems to be very good at illusions, and if it weren't for her use of illusions to cover up, I wouldn't have been able to infiltrate the headquarters of the Yellow Springs Sect at all. ”

"Are you saying that someone used illusion to cover your movements, so you were able to go deep into the Huangquan Sect headquarters and steal those two swords?" Qianye's eyes froze, and he couldn't help rubbing his chin, as if he was thinking about something: "If you want to act with illusions, anyone who has a little research on illusions can do it, and you cat ninja are good at stealth, which is not too difficult to do." But if you want to hide from the group of Huangquan evil ghosts in human skin at the headquarters of the Yellow Springs Sect, this is probably not something that ordinary people can do. ”

"Qianye, do you have a clue?" After listening to Chiya's analysis, Nana Hashimoto didn't hear that he seemed to mean something, and with Tiger Chiyo's description, Nana Hashimoto didn't have a bad association.

Qianye bowed slightly, but the worry in his eyes became more and more intense: "How powerful is the priest of the Huangquan Sect, you have already experienced it yourself that night, you and Mai-like two big monsters are hardly his opponents, although there are also reasons why the two of you are negligent in fighting and have little experience, but the strength of the other party is undoubted." If I want to rely on illusion to hide from the priests of the Huangquan Sect and the group of Huangquan demons in human skin, even if it is difficult for me to do this, I am afraid that only the nine-tailed fox has this ability. ”

"Nine-tailed fox? Qianye, are you saying that this is another conspiracy in front of Tamamo? For Qianye's words, he had already learned from Amber's words that there were other nine-tailed fox clones that existed in Nana Hashimoto, and he didn't doubt that this matter was a nine-tailed fox, but thinking of Amber, Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but look at Jiujing and asked her: "Jiujing, do you know how Amber is doing now?" After I left, why did she let the snow group scatter? ”

In the face of Hashimoto Nanawei's inquiry, Jiujing's face looked a little indignant, and under the cover of the face towel, Jiujing bit his lip before explaining to Hashimoto Nanami: "After you left, my lord, although I left a book to let Amber take charge of the Snow Death Group, but because Amber is not a big monster, although there is the protection of Chiba-sama, but the Snow Death Group is gradually declining, and later there were several wars in Kyoto, and the members of the Snow Death Group scattered in order to avoid the war. In the end, only Ruri was left in Kyoto with the youkai of Chiyoya and some youkai who were tired of wandering and just wanted to have a stable life. ”

"What about amber? Where is she, why haven't I seen her come to see me after I've been back for so long? I didn't see her the last time I went to Kyoto. Nanami Hashimoto looked at Chiyo Gion, who was sitting next to her, and asked her about Amber's whereabouts.

"Aunt Amber was disheartened by the declining Yuki-mikumi, and when Tokugawa Ieyasu founded Edo Castle, Kyoto was in decline and declined, and she left Kyoto more than 300 years ago after receiving a letter and eventually disappeared. Although I can occasionally receive letters from her, I really don't know Aunt Amber's whereabouts now, only that she is doing well. With a little sadness on her face, Chiyo Gion explained to Nanami Hashimoto what had happened to the Yuki-dyed group after she left.

After listening to Gion Chiyo's explanation, looking at Jiujing, who was still a little depressed, Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but sigh lightly: "I didn't expect so many things to happen after I left, and you can still support the Yukitsu group under such circumstances, it's really hard for you." ”

After shaking her head helplessly, Nana Hashimoto looked at Qianye and said to him: "Qianye, if it is a nine-tailed fox, I guess it should be the doppelganger of Tamamoo." I once heard Amber mention that before the Battle of Nasuno in front of Tamamo, he used to separate his eight emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, hatred, hatred, hatred, ignorance, and goodness using the fox tail incarnation method. Although you destroyed Tamamo's former body during the Battle of Nasuno, all eight of her clones should still exist. ”

Hearing the explanation mentioned by Nana Hashimoto, Qianye raised her eyebrows in some surprise and asked Nanami Hashimoto, "Nanamin, how do you know so clearly?" Even if I only knew that Tamamo had separated her emotions through the foxtail incarnation method back then, why did Amber know so clearly? Speaking of this, Qianye's face changed, and his eyes sharpened: "Or is Amber one of the eight doppelgangers in front of Tamamo?" ”

Looking at Qianya's grim face, Nana Hashimoto nodded after hesitating for a moment and admitted it: "Amber is the good doppelganger of one of the eight doppelgangers in front of Tamamo, and about what happened in front of Tamamo, Amber told me, and she said that the other seven clones in front of Tamamoo also exist." By the way, the one you saw last time at our concert should be one of them. ”

Hearing Nanami Hashimoto's explanation, Qianye's face turned slightly pale, but his brows still did not stretch: "If that's the case, it can be explained, but why did the doppelganger in front of Yuzao do this, and what is the benefit to her of stopping the Huangquan Sect?" With Tamamo's former character, she shouldn't offend Susanoo. Strange, strange......"

"I heard Amber say that because Tamamo Qian tore out the emotions in her soul when she split these incarnations, it caused the eight clones to come from the same source, but their personalities are different, and because they contain a certain emotion in front of Tamamo, their personalities are more extreme, could it be that this is the reason why she did this?" Nana Hashimoto didn't remember what Amber had told herself, and made a guess.

Qianye shook her head slightly, still frowning and sighing: "It would be nice if things were as simple as Nanamin you guessed, what I'm most worried about now is what kind of conspiracy she has." ”

"Probably not, right? And it's been ten years since this incident, even if there is any conspiracy among the clones in front of Tamamo, it's been so many years, and it has nothing to do with us, right? Just when Nana Hashimoto didn't guess like this, Ruodie suddenly pushed them away and walked in.

"Master, Miss Hashimoto, Officer Sato from the countermeasures room outside is here again, and he looks anxious, as if he wants to see his master in an urgent matter." After Ruodie saluted Chiya and Nana Hashimoto, she hurriedly reported.

"Officer Sato? What is he here for, is there something urgent? Let him in. Interrupted by Wakadie, Chiya stopped thinking about it, and nodded and asked Wakadie to invite Officer Sato in.

Nanami Hashimoto on the side also stopped talking, and couldn't help but wonder if Officer Sato would come to Senya at this time.

Soon Officer Sato was in the room led by Wakadie, but he looked anxious and said directly to Qianye without waiting for Wakadie's introduction: "Mr. Chiba, it's not good, the statue of Susanoo that was seized from the headquarters of the Yellow Springs Sect before was stolen!" ”

"What? The statue was stolen! Hearing Officer Sato's words, Chiya, who was originally sitting on the seat cushion, suddenly stood up in surprise, and Nanami Hashimoto and Tiger Chiyo on the side also stood up, and Injiro even sat down on the seat cushion when he heard the news.

"What the hell is going on? Didn't I tell you to keep the statue of Susanoo in a safe place, and not to lose anything? What exactly do you police do, and do anyone dare to steal things from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? An anxious look appeared on Qianye's face, just now I heard that the matter of the Huangquan Sect may be related to Tamamo, and now I heard that Susanoo's idol was stolen, so I can't help but have a bad association with Qianye, and there was a bit of sternness in his tone.

"It was the police officer in the evidence room of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department who was infiltrated by the Huangquan Sect, and we didn't find out that he was actually a believer in the Huangquan Sect." Officer Sato's face was full of self-blame, and he undoubtedly felt embarrassed about the loss of the statue of Susanoo: "The police officer falsified the record of the extraction of evidence through internal means of committing crimes, and stole the statue of Susanoo that was originally shrunk in the safe of the evidence room, and it was not until the next morning when someone changed shifts that he found out that he was not in the inventory of the evidence room. ”

"Suffered! If the idols are all stolen, then the two swords I stole will ...... too! Tora Chiyo suddenly remembered the two swords he had stolen ten years ago, and for some reason he suddenly became worried: "No, I want to take a look!" As he spoke, he was about to rush out, but he was stopped by Nana Hashimoto on the side.

"Tora Chiyo, where are you hiding those two swords? The Huangquan Sect and the Nine-Tails almost didn't turn the whole of Tokyo over before, and they didn't find those two swords, so they shouldn't be okay for a while, right? Nana Hashimoto didn't remember the amount of effort that the Huangquan Sect and the Nine-Tails had spent trying to find these two swords, and couldn't help but wonder where Torchiyo had put those two swords in the first place.

Although Tora Chiyo felt anxious in his heart, he still said with a little smugness when he mentioned the way he hid his sword in the first place: "I hid them under the cherry blossom tree at the Emperor Shakuten Shrine, and it was Injiro who thought of them, and he often went there to see the cherry blossoms when he was a child. As he spoke, he looked at his son Ah Yin and explained to him, "The phrase I left you with 'Let's go see the cherry blossoms' refers to the place where the sword is buried!" ”
