Chapter 223: The Hidden Crowd of Iga (I)
Shimada Kanbei coughed twice and said, "There is also a person in the Eight of the Ghost Gate. This guy is elusive and seems to be able to hide in the shadows. It's nothing. What is really terrifying is his ecstasy. The object who was fascinated by his spell only knew how to obey his orders, and even his own parents could kill him without hesitation. Even a dead man cannot escape his control. The effect is obvious to all. If it weren't for the fact that these controlled dead people could only bluff people, we wouldn't have been able to get out so easily just now. ”
"Even the dead can be hypnotized?" Chen Sheng's eyebrows were twisted, and he felt unbelievable in his heart. It's okay to hypnotize the living with ecstasy, but the dead are ignorant and ignorant, how to hypnotize? It is expected that there should be another mystery in it. However, the ninjutsu that ninjas possess is the housekeeping skill they rely on to survive. If you are not a loved one, you will never have a chance to know the truth about their ninjutsu. The three "guards" are not reused in the organization of the Heavenly God Sect, and the information they have may not be accurate based on the scales and claws they see.
But then again. According to what the three "guards" said, then this member of the Eight Ghost Gate really has some ability. His psychic skills couldn't be more capable. Presumably, it is impossible to control the movement of so many corpses from a distance of a few hundred meters or even a thousand meters. In other words, Wuyan just now must have been in the village. However, with Chen Sheng's keen sense of "the autumn wind has not moved the cicada", he didn't even notice the existence of an enemy nearby. This ability to stealth and hide is definitely worthy of the word "amazing".
The so-called leopard in the tube is small to see the big. This person is just one of the so-called eight people of the Ghost Gate, and it is already worthy of such attention. The rest of the eight and ten people are obviously not fuel-efficient lamps. As for the three generals above them, it will undoubtedly be more difficult to deal with.
In an instant, Chen Sheng only felt the heat in his chest surging, and the ten fingers of his arms unconsciously clenched into fists, and he was eager to try. At that moment, he couldn't wait to ask: "The three generals and those Iga Koga ninjas under them, who is the highest martial artist?" ”
Akechi Mitsuhide was stunned, then shook his head and said, "The most terrifying thing about ninjas is their weird ninjutsu. If you want to talk about martial arts alone, it is actually not very table-ready. But if you want to talk about masters, there are also some. Among the three generals, the general of the Dark Ghost Gate, Genma Icemuro, in addition to his own ninjutsu, also received additional favor from the Heavenly God Sect, and was able to teach a stunt, which seems to be called "Six Uniques of Demon Suppression". In addition, among the eight people in his ghost gate, there is another person who is very powerful. This man's name is Yumejuro, and he is blind. But the swordsmanship is extremely superb. The Tenjin Sect once said that if the Eight of the Onimon went to war with the Ten of Iga and Koga. Yumejuro alone was enough to kill at least half of Iga's ten. ”
"Yumejuro? Swordsman? And...... Is it blind? It's true...... Is there this person? ”
The voice was soft and thin, obviously from a woman. But it wasn't Su Ziling. The five big men looked at the sound at the same time, and immediately saw a beautiful girl, but also blind. After all this time after falling asleep, Zatoichi finally woke up. In a daze, she suddenly heard of the existence of a blind swordsman, who seemed to have been poured with a plate of ice water on her head, completely dispelling the remaining feeling of confusion. She struggled to reach for Akechi Mitsuso, but forgot that she was still on horseback. Moving so indiscriminately that you almost fell off your horse. Fortunately, Su Ziling reacted quickly enough and pulled her in time, which prevented the tragedy.
The beautiful face of the blind girl suddenly came into view, and in an instant, the young Katayama Goroubei automatically held his breath when he ascended. After looking at it twice, there was a feeling of electric shock in his heart, which made him feel numb in his hands and feet, and his heartbeat was also unprovoked, several times faster than usual. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Hurriedly shook his head and said, "There is indeed a person named Yumejuro." I've dealt with him. Although his eyes are inconvenient, when he acts, he is simply no different from a person who can see. Why, do you know him? ”
"I ...... I...... I don't know. But I want to see him, by all means! There was still a bit of weakness in his voice. But the firmness of the tone cannot be questioned. She clenched her staff hard and asked, "Yumejuro, where is he?" ”
Shimada Kanbei sighed and said, "Girl, I didn't know that you wanted to see Yumejuro. But whatever the reason, you'd better dismiss this idea. Because Yumejuro must be by the side of the Tenjin Sect now. The Heavenly God Sect is the Demon King of a Thousand People, don't say that you see him, even if you just hear his name, the best choice is to flee immediately. Otherwise, you don't even know how to die. ”
"I'm not afraid of death. But...... I must see Yumejuro. Zatoichi reached into his arms and seemed to grasp something, but he didn't show it to the crowd. Chen Sheng smiled and said, "Good apprentice, you don't have to be afraid. Master will teach you a few tricks. As long as you learn, no matter what dreams you have, you won't be able to do anything. ”
"Master, Master?" Zatoichi was completely stunned. It is true that she has a good impression of Chen Sheng. But in fact, since the first meeting last night, the two sides have not spoken more than 10 words in total. Why did the other party claim to be his master?
Of course, Chen Sheng knew that this was actually very abrupt. But he has never been a calculating, obsessed with these minutiae. At that moment, he said in a condensed voice: "Yes, from today onwards, I will be your master." I will teach you the best swordsmanship. With this kind of ability, no matter who you want to meet, absolutely no one can stop you. How, are you willing to learn? ”
Without the slightest hesitation. The blind girl Zatoichi immediately nodded vigorously and said firmly, "I do." ”
"Good. So now...... "Chen Sheng paused, and we will go to Zenko Temple to find the Heavenly God Sect, and ask him to hand over that Dream Juro and meet you with Ah Shi. If he refuses, hey, I'll tear his bones apart. ”
Pu Guanshui nodded and said, "Not bad." Zenko-ji Temple is a must-go. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, they can't think they can stop us. Akechi Mitsuhide, Shimada Kanbei, Katayama Goroubei. If you want to break free from the shackles of the Celestial God Sect and regain your freedom, then follow us. Come and fight with us and defeat the Celestial God Sect together. Because happiness is such a thing, you can never rely on other people's charity, you must rely on your own hands to fight for it. You have no choice but that. ”

The twilight is dreary, and the four fields are vast. Looking up at the sky, as far as the eye can see, there is only a little residual sunset left. However, even if it is already waning, the time when the moon wheel dominates the world has not yet come. Neither day nor night. It is not of light, much less of darkness. The vast red dust is full of chaos. Humans and ghosts can coexist, and demons are even more unscrupulous. At this time, it is the so-called: the magic moment.
At this moment of demonization, an invisible encirclement network has long been centered on Zenko-ji Temple. Unfolded quietly before you knew it. In the east, west, and south directions, all roads leading to Zenko-ji Temple have been tightly sealed. Only the northern road is still open. Not so that those in the encirclement can break through it, but to wait for the prey - to throw themselves into the net.
The people who were seen as prey were unaware of the existence of the encirclement network. As a result, they are now moving towards death, step by step.
But despite this, the prey is not weak. On the contrary, by the standards of the world, they are absolutely powerful. A gang of more than 50 people packed the road from Kita-Shinano to Echigo. Fortunately, it was getting late, and they were the only ones on the road. Otherwise, it will definitely cause a big blockage. Of course, this is one of the reasons why they chose to act at this time.
More than fifty people, but only a dozen mounts. The first healthy horse, with moon-white hair, and long legs, was obviously a big part of them compared to those of the same kind next to him. The man sitting on the saddle was not particularly burly, but his majesty and dignity were very unusual. Especially his eyes, which are rare to see in the troubled times of the Warring States. At first glance, people will be attracted to it, and then they will follow it for the rest of their lives, and be unswerving. Release moon hairs
With this person as the center, a total of more than a dozen young samurai surrounded him. They carry swords at their waists, bows from their saddles, and arrows behind their backs. Everyone is full of energy, no matter whether they move or stillness, they are full of vitality. Although they did not wear armor, it is conceivable that if they went to the battlefield, everyone would be an elite soldier who rushed into battle.
In comparison, the remaining twenty or so followers on foot seem quite ordinary. The way they dressed, and how they behaved, looked like ordinary country peasants. But if they were really peasants, how could they dare to be on the same side as those samurai on horseback in this era of strict hierarchy? It can be seen that they are just dressing up like this to hide people's eyes.
At the moment of the demon, there is chaos, and everywhere is obscure. As long as you are a normal person, you will not like this environment. Seeing the sunset, a little afterglow is about to disappear, but the road still stretches endlessly, as if there is no end. One of the more than a dozen samurai on horseback couldn't help but ask, "Duan Zang, you didn't lead the wrong way, did you?" Why have we walked for so long, and we haven't arrived at Zenkoji Temple yet? ”
Walking among the "peasants", a middle-aged man with a thin body and gray temples turned back and smiled at the samurai. Said: "Lord Sebe, please be calm. This path has been traveled many times in the morning, and even if you close your eyes, you will never go wrong. Rest assured. At our current pace, it will take at most another two or three quarters of an hour to reach the town of Teramota of Zenko-ji Temple. The town is very prosperous, especially at this time, and you can have everything you want to eat and have fun, haha. ”
