Compared with the previous Maxime heavy machine gun series cards, this set of Metal Slug series cards is significantly more valuable. Although Chen Sheng, Pu Guanshui, and Su Ziling all have their own main strengthening routes, they do not rule out the use of these firearms and weapons to fight on some special occasions. And even if you resolutely refuse to use it, then take out these two sets of cards and sell them, there should be a lot of people who want them, and you won't lose money.

It seemed like it was just a snap of a finger, and the time of ten days had come. At noon that day, when the two hundred and forty hours of zuihou were finished in one second, Chen Sheng, Pu Guanshui, Su Ziling, Shui Chuanshi, Bai Sunshine, Date Chenren and other two teams, a total of six people, the skull crest on their chests moved at the same time, and conveyed to them a reminder that the mission was over.

"Attention to the brawler group [Sword Shadow Demon Trace Team]. The team battle mission 'Famous Objects of the World' has ended. You have obtained a total of: Yongle Tongbao Battle Flag, Golden Gourd Horse Mark, and Miaofa Muramasa. and so on. It has been judged that you have obtained more mission items than the Brawler team, Team 2 Mask. Therefore, the winner of this team battle mission is the Sword Shadow Demon Trace Team. Each member of your squad will be rewarded with 3,000 Universal Points and 1 D-rank Elemental Gem. You can continue to stay in this shijie and start the main quest. Quest items previously obtained will be removed from the quest status and will be restored to normal use. ”

"Attention the brawler group [Second Mask Team]. The team battle mission 'Famous Objects of the World' has ended. In total, you have obtained: Zong San Zuo Script. and so on. It has been judged that the number of mission items you have obtained is less than that of the Brawler team, Sword Shadow Trace Team. Therefore, you can avoid being wiped out in this teamfight mission, but at the same time, it will be judged as a teamfight mission. You will not be allowed to stay in this shijie and will return after 30 seconds. Each member of your squad will be rewarded with 3,000 Universal Points and 1 D-Rank Element. Quest items previously obtained will be removed from the quest status and will be restored to normal use. ”

The time has come to separate. Such a result was expected, so there was no sadness on both sides. The two squads, who have already exchanged friend identities with each other, have agreed with each other to meet again after returning to the Divine Domain. Subsequently, the figures of the three Kamen Riders of the Second Mask Team quickly became transparent in front of Chen Sheng's eyes, and finally disappeared completely.

Immediately afterwards, the skull crest on the chests of the three members of the Sword Shadow Demon Trace Team sent a follow-up prompt message about the main quest.

"The Fighter Team [Sword Shadow Demon Trace], your main quest in Benshijie is about to begin.

Main Quest: 'The Secret Buddha Opens the Account'.

Now all you need to do in this Shijie is to go to Zenko-ji Temple in the northern part of Shinano Province and participate in the 'Tantric Buddha Imperial Opening Ceremony'. The specific follow-up information of the mission will be reminded after you enter the main temple of Zenko-ji Temple.

Successful Mission: Each member of the squad will receive 100 Universal Points as a reward.

Mission time limit: six days. If you do not arrive at Zenko-ji Temple after six days, 10,000 generic points will be deducted. If the balance of the property is not enough to deduct, it will be erased. ”

The first person to speak was Pu Guanshui. He frowned and said, "The Secret Buddha Emperor opens the account? What is this? What a tongue-twisting name. What is Zenko-ji Temple? Weishenme wants us to go here? What a strange task. ”

Chen Sheng knew more about Buddhism, so this term that made Pu Guanshui and Su Ziling feel confused, and only Chen Sheng knew what was going on among the three. There was a hint of nostalgia between his eyebrows, and he said slowly: "Zenko Temple...... Actually, I've been there once before. That was in 2003. It is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Japan and is said to have been founded in the 7th century. All of the buildings inside are National Treasures. As for the secret Buddha royal opening ceremony. It is the ritual of visiting the Tantric Buddha.

The so-called Tantric Buddha is a very rare form of worship. That is, the sculpture of the Haode Buddha statue is not open to the believers, but only in a secret form. Some tantric Buddhas are open to worshippers for public worship at certain times every few years. But the situation of the Tantric Buddha at Zenko-ji Temple is different. It belongs to the "Absolute Tantra", that is, it is completely non-public. Although the "Tantric Buddha Imperial Opening Ceremony" is held, in fact, the Buddha statue that is made public is not a Buddha-figure, but a Buddha statue that mimics the Buddha-figure, which is called a substitute, and is called "Gozenri". They are worshipped before the shrine where the Buddha statue is placed, and they are worshiped by believers in place of the Buddha-figure. This ritual is performed only once every seven years.

The secret Buddha enshrined in Zenko-ji Temple also has a great background. As you all know, Japan is an island nation. Almost all the advanced cultures it absorbed were transmitted from the mainland, and Buddhism was no exception. At that time, the king of Baekje on the Korean Peninsula presented the Buddha statues of the "Three Sages of the West", such as Amitabha Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Daisei Bodhisattva, to the Yamato Imperial Court in Japan, which was the beginning of the spread of Buddhism in Japan. As the ancestor of Japanese Buddhism, the three statues of Amitabha Buddha are also very important. So every time this ritual is performed, it attracts a large number of devotees. I remember that in 2003, the number of people who visited the shrine reached 6.28 million. ”

"I see." After listening to Chen Sheng's detailed explanation, the remaining two people were stunned. Pu Guanshui said: "In that case, let's hurry up." Six days, whether it is long or not, whether it is short or not, you still have to hurry up. ”

Pu Guanshui's words are also correct. After Chen Sheng and Su Ziling heard this, they naturally had no objections. At that moment, the three of them left the inn, bought three inferior horses in the town to use as foot strength, and left Cheongju Castle and headed east. The Oda family fought such a big battle as the Barrel Sama Battle, and they were busy with various aftermath work. There were so many things going on, and not many people had time to pay attention to the few foreign tourists in the castle town. Although Ning Bukong sent someone to closely monitor their movements, he also knew that if he was able to talk about it, Chen Sheng was much higher than himself. Chen Sheng wants to leave, he would rather not ask for nothing, where do he dare to obstruct it?

Shinano is located on Higashiyama Road in the middle of Honshu, Japan. It is surrounded by high mountains. Therefore, to get to Shinano from Owari, you must first pass through Mikawa, Enoe, Suruga, and other Imagawa family territories. Then, when he reached the vicinity of Sunpu Castle, he turned north and entered Kai, the territory of the Takeda family. After passing through Kai, it's Shinano.

In the battle of Tsukasama, Imagawa Yoshimoto was awarded the head. The defeated army under his command was scattered in all directions, and without military discipline, it was inevitable that many illegal acts would be committed. Therefore, it is actually quite dangerous to pass through the territory of the Imagawa family during this time period. Along the way, the Sword Shadow Demon Trace Team encountered no less than seven or eight riots, all of which intended to block the road and rob the team, killing people and goods.

Of course, these young people don't need Chen Sheng and Su Ziling to make a move. Pu Guanshui casually cast a "Sleep Cloud" spell and put them all down. And for these bandits, the team will naturally not be relentless. Directly stepped forward, one hoof at a time, and trampled their heads into rotten watermelons.

Two days later, the team left the Imagawa family's territory and turned north, officially entering the Takeda family's territory, Kai.

The current head of the Takeda family, Takeda Shingen, ruled the country with severe punishment. And because there is a mountain of gold in the collar, the Takeda family does not pay much attention to business. When merchants came here, they demanded heavy taxes on their goods. Although the Sword Shadow Trace team is not a merchant, they own three horses as a means of transportation, and according to the laws of the Takeda family, they are also taxed. Although they were quite angry, the three of them were in a hurry, and they didn't have time to quarrel over such a trivial matter, so they reluctantly compromised, gave money as soon as possible and left as soon as possible. But after such an incident, the three of them naturally felt bad about their impression of the Takeda family.

It passed through Kai as fast as it could, crossed the Akaishi Mountains, and moved from its southern tip to the northern section, and from here, it already belonged to Shinano. Shinano Province is a mountainous plain. The internal water system is vertical and horizontal, with the Kiso River and the Chikuma River being the largest. These two rivers divide Shinano into two parts, north and south. Minami Shinano is close to Kai, and since the time of Takeda Shingen's father, Takeda Shintora, Kai has been constantly sending troops to invade Minami Shinano. After nearly two decades of hard work, Minami Shinano has almost completely occupied the Takeda family.

The pace of expansion of the Takeda family, of course, will not stop at this feeling of satisfaction. After Takeda Nobuta was exiled by his son, Takeda Shingen, who became the head of the family, continued to attack Kita-Shinano and defeated Murakami Yoshikiyo, the largest countryman in Kita-Shinano. However, Murakami Yoshikiyoshi fled to Echigo and asked for help from the lord of Echigo, Uesugi Kenshin. Thus, from the 22nd year of the Astronomical Era (1553 AD) to the arrival of the Sword Shadow Demon Clan, the Takeda and Uesugi families fought three times in succession near the delta plain formed by the confluence of the Chikuma River and the Rhinogawa River.

Historically, there have been five battles on Kawanakajima. The most intense of these was the fourth in the fourth year of Yonglu (1561 A.D.). In this war, many anecdotes were produced. For example, the "woodpecker tactics" of the Takeda family, the death of important retainers such as the Takeda family's general Shishi Yamamoto, the generals, Takeda Nobushige and Mokaku Torada, and Uesugi Kenshin's single-handedly charging into battle to take Takeda Shingen, swinging his sword three times in a row. Legend has it that Takeda Shingenjun was only slightly injured when he was blocked by an iron fan with a military armor. In this battle, more than 4,000 soldiers were killed on both sides and more than 9,000 were wounded. Such heavy casualties are very rare in the entire history of Japan's Warring States.

However, the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima took place one year later in history. For now, there has been a brief peace between the two sides. Because of this, when Chen Sheng and the others entered the North Shinano area, they didn't feel too much of the tense atmosphere of "the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings". There was no sign of troop movement on the road. On the contrary, from time to time, you can see monks or believers walking in groups of three or five, shoulder to shoulder. The expressions between everyone's eyebrows were very solemn and pious. They all went to participate in the "Tantric Buddha Imperial Opening Ceremony".
