After the retreat in November, December was quite a busy month. Under the leadership and proposal of the rookie of the Daomen, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion announced the news of [Baishan].

Although the date of acceptance has not yet been officially issued, the news of "worshipping the mountain" alone has already made the whole society begin to stir, and it will definitely be empty of thousands of people at that time.

It is conservatively estimated that if there were 10,000 people going up the mountain at that time, and the 45 people were responsible for more than 200 people in charge of the Truth alone...... One person can't beat two hundred, how can he take care of it.

Therefore, Xiao Yuanyou disclosed the existence of "Imperial Sword Technique" and "Wai Dan Technique", which attracted many sects willing to cooperate, together with the Taihe Palace Wudang School, Wuyi Palace Lingbao Dao (partial), Chongyang Palace and Quanzhen Sect in the Six Great Dao Sects of the Central Plains, to jointly carry out this mountain worship festival, as long as this festival is carried out smoothly, then Taoism will inevitably absorb tens of thousands of fresh blood, and it is only a matter of time before Taoism is prosperous.

In order to cope with politics, business, medicine, and online public opinion...... and other factors, several coaches and deputies were in a hurry, and December had come to an end.

December 31, the last day of 2017 -

Located in Osaka, Japan, on the eastern shore of Lake Biwa National Park.

It is a castle with a long history: Hikone Castle.

Also known as "Golden Turtle Castle", this castle is one of the four major treasures of Japan, and is now used as a temporary residence for the priests of the "Emperor's Imperial Family Tosho Shrine". In other words, before the construction of the newly renovated "Tosho Shrine" on the shores of Lake Biwa was completed, the owner of the castle was the supreme leader of the shrine, Tosho Shrine Omiya Tsuji Lee Shifu.

At present, the bright moon is in the sky, and the silver moonlight is sprinkled all over the castle tower, which is filled with an indescribable beauty.

"Teacher, it's the New Year, Happy New Year!"

Hikone Castle Tower, although there is a luxurious residence where the ancient daimyo lived, the current lord of the castle likes to live in the observation deck on the top floor, where it is as cold as the wind in winter, and no one comes to live here in winter.

However, it is undeniable that this observatory can overlook Lake Biwa at any time and enjoy one of the eight views of Biwa: "Hikone Bright Moon".

Li Shifu has been living in it for ten days, and some people suspect that she has frozen to death inside.

"Happy New Year, Teacher!"

The eighteen-year-old imperial grandson Yingren spoke broken Chinese and asked to see his teacher. Although he had been told not to disturb him, he was very concerned about Master's health and endured the cold wind and knelt outside, patiently waiting for the teacher's reply.

"Your Highness, ここは寒いです......"

"Your Highness, お帰りください!"

Kneeling behind him, a female samurai with a sword, as well as a diminutive male ninja, whispered admonitions.

"Shhhh ”

Soon after, a voice came from inside: "Come in if you have something, go back if you have nothing to do." ”

Young-in listened to her voice was no different from before, relieved himself, rubbed his hands and was about to go back, but found that the reply just now was a perfect opportunity: pretend to have something to do and go in......

"Worship" is the farthest relationship from "understanding", Yingren, who has infinite admiration and admiration for Li Shifu, very much wants to get close to and understand her, so he has always wanted to get close to Li Shifu as much as possible.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Yingren got up and opened the Japanese-style paper door: "I'm here." ”

By the window, the cold moonlight entered through the window, and the cold temperature that was about to snow also invaded the room with the moonlight. Li Shifu was wearing a very thin pure white lichen, standing barefoot by the window, looking at the night view of Lake Biwa.

Looking at the room again, the furnishings are very neat, there is a letter on the low table, with Yingren's Chinese level, only a few words can be seen -

【Instructor...... It's going well...... Not yet revealed......]

Li Shifu still looked outside: "What's the matter?" Looking all over the island country, it is really difficult to count those who can speak with their backs to the imperial grandson.

"Teacher (eh), the messenger of the Yin Yan (Yang) Dao, it seems that it is almost there, uh-let me ask you, do you want to meet you?"

"Shouldn't the messenger of the Yin and Yang Dao come tomorrow?"

"That's right, so jie...... I'll ask the teacher today if I want to meet tomorrow. Youngin took a slight step to the right.

Li Shifu's tone was like winter: "The attitude of the Yin and Yang Dao has changed?"

"No, it's still not friendly. "Take a little further to the right.

"Then it's the same as scheduled, and I'll tell me their attitude tomorrow after they've seen you. And - Young-in. ”

Youngin was about to take another step to the right, and said distractedly: "Yes, teacher." ”

Li Shifu said indifferently: "Get out." ”

"Huh?"

Li Shifu's voice turned cold: "Don't you understand?"

"わ、わかります!Understood!" Yingren knew that he had made a big mistake, and he knelt down in a panic, not even having the courage to make an excuse to explain, and slowly retreated on the ground.

Today, Li Shifu's paper bag to cover her face was placed on the table and not put on, and Yingren thought that he could peek at her true face. Just now, as long as you take a step to the right, you can see Li Shifu's side face, but she is helpless as if she has eyes behind her back, and she has no chance.

Yingren made Li Shifu unhappy, and he was extremely disappointed, so he had to go back and prepare to meet with the envoy of Yin Yang Dao tomorrow.

As expected, all the surrounding sects were uncomfortable with the high priest of Tosho Shrine, Li Shifu, because Japan has always been a religious power, and before the defeat in World War II, the country had been pursuing a political strategy of "unity of religion and government", and the high-ranking clergy were equivalent to high-level politicians, who were qualified to marry members of the imperial family and start political games.

And "Shintoism" is the national religion of Japan, and more than 90% of Japanese people are "Shinto-style". The social status and social status of the clergy would not allow a Chinese to serve as a high priest (宮司). Leaving aside the past and current international relations, from the perspective of ethnic characteristics and personality, the atmosphere and arrogance of the Han nation, and the rigor and strength of the Han nationality are like two roommates in a dormitory with mismatched personalities. Beyond the superficial appearance, there is no real friendship between them.

Because after Japan's defeat in World War II, it did its tricks in history and avoided mentioning topics such as war as much as possible, so the Japanese people basically have no anti-China sentiment towards the Chinese. After all, defeat is a scandal, and education in this area will be avoided politically. And no matter what country is the same, ordinary residents only have to worry about what to eat for breakfast, and they will not be interested in the topics of politicians.

But the absence of anti-Chinese sentiment does not mean that the Japanese will accept the Chinese. Quite simply, if you live next to a Japanese man, you won't approve of him even if he's a goodwill ambassador, and if you're an old Tohoku, you might be violent when you're drunk. In short, a bad relationship is a bad relationship, and the status of the Chinese in Japan is roughly as follows: still accommodating, unaccompanied.

The emperor's will did suppress the voices of resistance from all walks of life in Japan, but Li Shifu's work here can be said to be still constrained everywhere. Of course, for her, even if any of the priests under her command disobeyed him, it would not affect her work efficiency.

All she had to do was sit in the castle tower and do the math, make a schedule of the work, and let Eihito do it on her behalf. As long as he is still in Japan, this imperial grandson has an infinite role.

And yet—

New Year's Day on January 1st, for Japanese people who do not have a lunar calendar, this is the New Year. However, it didn't fit the festive atmosphere at all.,A hostile reply came from the side of the Onyo-Doqing Ming Shrine:"死ぬまでの戦い!"

"Sir!まずい!" Yingren, who received the other party's reply, immediately notified Li Shifu: "The messenger of the Yin and Yang Dao...... On the way, all of them disappeared. ”

Li Shifu: "I said that this is the best time for the other party to attack, what about the manpower I arranged before the other party entered the country?"

"They ......," Eihito replied inconveniently.

"Hmph!" Li Shifu understood, and the group of bastards ignored their orders.

"Teacher, what now?"

The relationship with the Yin-Yang Dao could have been resolved peacefully, but now it has caused new troubles, causing most of the subsequent plans to be disrupted.

Li Shifu didn't panic at all: "First bring back the guys who left their posts without permission and punish them heavily, so as to set an example." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange for Takahashi-san to do it, but—" Eihito looked up again, "but that won't help......"

Young-in is indeed obedient and obedient, but he is too unassertive, and it is difficult to investigate and deal with even the traitors around him. After thinking about it, Li Shifu chose the most convenient method-

"Send someone to deliver a letter for me to have someone absolutely credible go. Li Shifu found a pen and paper, quickly wrote it, and handed it to Yingren: "Bind it and send it to Wuyishan ...... in China and Fujian."
