Compared with Okubo Ritsu's surprise, Xiao Yan was the least surprised. Of course, Laikaon and Karisto have not changed much, after seeing the performance of Wei Zhongxian and the Demon Sect during the Chinese Apocalypse, the Awakened already have enough understanding of the actions of some Guardians.

These Guardians never cared about worldly judgments, nor did they care what faction was right or wrong, and they didn't care what kind of characters they had in the people they killed. They only care about whether the dragon vein is safe or not, and do everything possible to protect the safety of the dragon vein, and at the same time eliminate all the targets that threaten the existence of the dragon vein one by one. Therefore, if a guardian joins the camp of the shogunate to protect the safety of the dragon vein, it is not impossible for the awakened.

"This is a time when I have you and you have me."

Xiao Yan Ruci said, he looked at Kondo Yong and asked, "Are you awakened by yourself, or are you from your teacher?" ”

The awakening here is, of course, not the meaning of becoming an awakened person, but the meaning of knowing that he needs to protect the dragon vein and is ready to sacrifice for it, just like Scarlet Village Zhenlan.

Isamu Kondo stared at Mutsu Munemitsu, who had mutated, and replied in a low voice, "I was self-awakened, and after that, I met someone who made me feel close in blood. ”

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, the situation in Fusang was far more chaotic and complicated than Huaxia. Since the Tokugawa Shogunate period, the bloodline of demons, the bloodline of guardians, and the bloodline of dragons have all spread in this island nation. Every Fuso person may have several conflicting bloodlines flowing through his body. Not only that, but even the guardians were very chaotic among themselves, and some of them defected to the shogunate. There are those who maintain the inheritance. There are also those like Isamu Kondo who have awakened spontaneously. And the targets that the Guardians are guarding are also very messy. Guarding the dragon vein, or simply guarding the shogunate, this complicated situation cannot be seen at all on the surface.

Even on the demon side, there is a very complicated situation, there is the power of the shogunate left over from Oda Nobunaga's lineage, and there is also the power of the demon himself that Xiao Yan inferred before. The relationship between the two demons is not necessarily that of friends, and they are overwhelming each other's power. This is perfectly normal.

"Your awakening caused the other samurai to awaken as well, and then you took refuge in the shogunate, because it would give you greater authority. It's just that the Kankai group above you, although they are also guardians, they are more inclined to protect the shogunate than some dragon vein. ”

Xiao Yan looked at Isamu Kondo, and after a while asked, "What did Ito find?" ”

Isamu Kondo shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do, he just thinks." That discovery was so dangerous that it should not be shared. And Ito thinks. Continuing to stay in the new team with this discovery would be dangerous to the new team, so he insisted on leaving the new group. ”

Xiao Yan suddenly asked a question that made others sound incredible: "So, do you think Ito has a problem?" ”

Isamu Kondo looked up at Xiao Yan, not so much that he was surprised by Xiao Yan's question, but that he was surprised by Xiao Yan's judgment, and after a while, the director of the new writing group asked, "How do you know the way?" ”

"Because you are Guardians, will Guardians be afraid of danger? Protecting the dragon vein itself requires constant sacrifices, and leaving the new team because of danger, Ito probably didn't really find anything. To be precise, Ito Kokotaro was escaping from the battle, and he didn't notice anything unusual at all, just wanting to escape the sacrifice of dedication. ”

"Devotion and sacrifice?"

Isamu Kondo looked up at the dark basement roof and exclaimed, "That's right, for the sake of the dragon vein, it can't be done without dedication and sacrifice." ”

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Mutsu Zongguang, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said, "However, you know that Ito is lying and wants to evade responsibility. The four-faced agent believed that what Ito said was true, and he in turn reported it to the real master. Sure enough, cowards tend to trust each other, because they always think that what they can't do, others can't do it. ”

Isamu Kondo smiled and said, "It looks like you've already learned what happened next." ”

"I'm just inferring, not fact. The owner of Mutsu Munemitsu also believed in what Ito had discovered, and he also believed that what Ito had discovered was the dragon vein, which was of great significance to the demon master. ”

Looking at Mutsu Somitsu's completely distorted face, Xiao Yan whispered, "Because of the importance of the dragon vein, this demon master must avoid as many people as possible, and the attack on Shintaro Nakaoka is also based on this. However, this demon probably didn't think that the secret that Ito tried to hide in every possible way was actually 'he didn't find any secrets', so no matter what, the demon couldn't get the answer it wanted from Ito. ”

"I don't know why Saito Kazumi will be captured by the Spirit Guards, but most of this has something to do with Mutsu Munemitsu, as a four-sided spy, he should have sent different messages to the other three forces at the same time to interfere with everyone's sight. But this interference has also led you to misunderstand that Mutsu Munemitsu is also looking for dragon veins. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yan stretched his waist and said, "The wild samurai of Omiya originally wanted to kill Shintaro Nakaoka, in order to prevent the matter of the dragon vein from being spread. It's just that Ryoma Sakamoto recognized Mutsu Munemitsu, so Sakamoto Ryoma was later eliminated by Mutsu Munemitsu, but his death from the dragon vein itself has nothing to do with it. And you have nothing to do with other forces except Ito, but being used by Mutsu Munemitsu makes the whole situation seem complicated, as if everything is involved. When we came here, we also felt confused and lost because of this cobweb-like relationship, and there were many errors in judgment, but because of our appearance, our opponents also made a lot of mistakes. At the end of the day, we no longer compete about who is right more, but who is wrong more. ”

Isamu Kondo whispered, "Now it seems that Xiao Jun has won." ”

"I haven't won yet, I haven't reached the bottom of the road, I haven't completely lifted the cancer, we haven't said we have the right to win."

After a pause, Xiao Yan continued: "After so much rambling, we should set off now." Mr. Isamu Kondo, please let these two Restorationists around me see what you are protecting. ”

Isamu Kondo frowned and asked, "How do you know the way?" ”

Xiao Yan smiled again and said, "You know that Ito will never discover the terrible secret, and you also know that Michinoku Somitsu will never find the true dragon vein, that's because only you know the Dao, where the dragon vein in Kyoto is." ”

Isamu Kondo looked at Xiao Yan again for a while and said, "You really surprised me, the secret I thought I could hide seems to be not a secret at all in front of your eyes." ”

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "You want to use the process of Mutsu Zongguang to find the dragon vein, and gradually peel off the clues behind him one by one, this idea is very good. Unfortunately, they are more powerful than you might think. This disparity dooms your plan to failure, listen to me, you should know my purpose. Again, you should be clear about the purpose of these reformers, so cooperate. We already know who the demon is who is ready to move on the dragon vein, and you, let the reformers around me see the evidence they need. ”

Isamu Kondo looked at Okubo Ritsu and Saigo Takamori behind Xiao Yan again, was quiet for a moment, turned his head to Xiao Yan and said, "Xiao Jun needs to know my companion?" ”

Xiao Yan looked up at the members of the new writing group hidden in the dark corner, these human beings who obviously had a level 7 level or above looked extraordinary, and they should be some senior or even higher-level figures in the new writing group.

After a while, Xiao Yan whispered, "When I die, there is no need to commemorate me. I don't exist so that you know what my name is. ”

After listening to this sentence carefully, Kondo Yong bowed deeply to Xiao Yan and said, "Yes, I know the truth." ”

Then, the director of the new writing group took a few steps back, lightly touched the dark space behind him, and said, "This is the dragon vein that you used to know the Dao, or you didn't know. ”

As he spoke, a golden light suddenly flashed in this dark space, which was not very dazzling, and it made people feel very warm. This light even caused Mutsu Munemitsu to temporarily stop hissing and turn his head to look behind Isamu Kondo in an almost stupid way. There, a golden wall was emerging in the air, a wall that seemed to have no limit between up and down, fading on both sides, as if it had disappeared into the air, and as if it were only a fragment of its magnificent appearance in front of everyone.

On this wall, there are a large number of scale-like lines, and as the light slowly flows, those scale patterns seem to come to life, or rather, the whole wall seems to be a living creature.

"That's what a giant dragon looks like," Xiao Yanwei shook his head and whispered, "No wonder it's called a dragon vein." ”

At the same time, Xiao Yan could feel the light of the wall piercing through all kinds of obstacles, and in his cloak and scepter, the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" and the "Arguments" were constantly turning pages automatically.

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the werewolf brother and sister, and to his surprise, the werewolf brother and sister did not feel any discomfort, but showed a happy gesture.

It took a long time for Saigo Takamori to wake up from his trance, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and asked, "This is your interest?" ”

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Yes, this is our interest." ”

Saigo Takamori bowed to Xiao Yan as seriously and said, "I'm very sorry for my attitude towards you before, this time to defeat the demons, please take me with you no matter what." ”

After a pause, he continued, "Although I am too old to wield the knife in my hand, I can at least die for you once." (To be continued......)
