Chapter 11: The Intruder
The family has started to cut wheat, and it has been busy, and the update is a little late, and there will be a change later.
――――
Night falls quickly, but Tokyo is still buzzing, and the nightlife in Tokyo is no less than that of the day.
The night was dark, and Zhang Yang couldn't find any useful news, so he ordered the remaining scarabs to continue searching, and he had a meal with Zixia, and by the way, he had something to negotiate with Nintendo tomorrow.
No one noticed that under the cover of night, a graceful figure quietly infiltrated the Meiji Shrine.
The outer wall did not pose any obstacle to the man in black at all, and the man in black jumped lightly, as if he had a spring under his feet, and jumped over easily, landing on the ground without making a sound.
The visitors seemed to be familiar with the Meiji Jingu Shrine, and went straight through the dense trees outside, and entered the interior under the cover of night.
"Three executive priests, one Tsing Yi priest, just knock them out."
The person who came muttered a few words to himself, and the voice turned out to be a girl, still very young.
The executive priest is the second rank of the priests, and below there are probationary priests, ordinary priests, and above them, they are the Tsing Yi Priest, the black-clothed priest, and the highest-ranking Grand Priest.
The Grand Priest is the supreme administrator of a shrine and is held by the person with the deepest Taoism, similar to the abbot of the temple, while the black-clothed priest is the elder rank, the Tsing Yi priest is the administrator of the white-clothed priest, and the most numerous are the white-clothed executive priests, who are responsible for the daily work of the shrine.
The girl was silent, approaching the four priests.
The priest in Tsing Yi seemed to be explaining something to the white-clothed priest, and he quickly finished speaking. After waving his hand to let the white-clothed priest retreat, he was about to continue guarding the shrine, when he suddenly heard movement behind him.
"Who is ......" The Tsing Yi priest turned around suddenly, but what he saw was a black figure, and then he was hit the back of the neck and lost consciousness.
"Whew, I'm glad I wasn't found."
The girl patted her chest carefully, then dragged the priest in Tsing Yi to the next room, closed the door, and then looked inside the shrine. Seems to be looking for something.
"There are a total of eleven shrines in this Meiji Shrine, but where are they hidden?"
After a search and finding nothing, the girl had no choice but to leave the place and move on to the next target.
Meiji Jingu Shrine covers a large area and is hidden in dense woods. It is not seen by outsiders, so it is only a weekday visit. Very few people know the inner workings of Meiji Jingu. The girl didn't know where to get the map, so she avoided the clergy along the way, and shuttled around.
I have to say that as one of the five major shrines, the foundation of the shrine is not ordinarily rich, and in a short distance of a few tens of meters, the girl met four groups of clergy who patrolled the lanterns. There were also a few white-clad priests.
Since the girl did not enter through the main entrance, but climbed in through the wall, she directly avoided the large torii gate, and thus escaped the prying eyes of the torii barrier. So the girl went almost unimpeded all the way, and soon came to the central part of the shrine, and at this moment, a warning sound suddenly came from the front hall, apparently someone had detected the invasion.
"Oops!"
The girl frowned delicately, except for her eyes, her whole body was surrounded by black night clothes, knowing that someone might have found the unconscious Tsing Yi priest, and her feet immediately sped up, at this moment, the girl suddenly had a shock in her heart, and her figure flashed quickly to the side, and several long needles flashing with blue luster were directly nailed to the ground in front of her.
"Bold! Dare to invade Meiji Jingu! ”
The other party shouted loudly, on the one hand, to warn his companions, and on the other hand, to deter the girl, the girl sneered, looked at the two men in front of her, who were also wearing night clothes, and spit out fluent Japanese.
"It seems that the ninjas who know the shrine are not very good, and they only have some tricks of stealing chickens and dogs!"
"Yaga!"
The two of them were furious when they heard this, their level in the ninja was not high, and they had not yet learned advanced spells, so they could only rely on hidden weapons and poisons to delay time.
"Whoever you are, you will die under my knife today!"
The two Japanese ninjas suddenly pulled out two long knives, the long knives also flashed with blue light, obviously quenched with poison, and the two were also professionally trained, slashing at the girl one after another, blocking each other's way.
"Humph!"
The girl sneered, wiped a handful on the ring on her right hand, and a cyan ancient sword appeared on her hand, catching up with the two long knives at a faster speed, and after a crisp sound, in the shocked eyes of the two ninjas, her long knife was directly cut in two by the other party!
"Waste is waste, and you dare to play with knives in front of your ancestors?" There was no expression on the girl's face, and the long sword in her hand kept going, and a light sword slashed through the throats of the two ninjas. "Let me teach you what a knife is!"
"Giggle......
The two ninjas made a strange noise in their throats, clutching their throats and falling down, soon oozing a large amount of blood, and although the girl's cyan sword was simple and pointless, it was sharper than any weapon, and easily slice each other's throats.
"Now that the ninja has appeared, compared to the old monsters who have already alarmed them, there is not much time, so go to the nearest place first."
The girl made up her mind, her toes were a little on the ground, and her figure left the place like a swallow skimming the water, and soon, the clergy who heard the wind arrived here, and all they saw were the corpses of two ninjas.
Like the priest, the ninja also has a hierarchy, these two ninjas are just equivalent to the level of the white-clothed priest, the girl nodded secretly in her heart: "Sure enough, as mentioned by the master, these big Japanese shrines have the protection of ninjas." ”
Ninja also has a long history in Japan, and there are many related stories and legends, as well as film and television comics, originally after the rise of hot weapons, ninjas gradually declined like Chinese martial arts, and only shrines and other places still retain ninja training methods.
For the shrine, the use of thermal weapons is disrespectful to Amaterasu, so guns are rarely seen in the shrine. The traditional defense force of the shrine is still retained.
The movement in the Meiji Shrine was not concealed from Zhang Yang, at least thirty scarabs were distributed in the corner of the Meiji Shrine, and the scarab beetles faithfully fed back the invasion to Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang immediately got up after hesitating, and after saying hello to Zixia, he was ready to go to the Meiji Shrine to find out.
"Hope you don't let me down this time!"
On the other side, the girl hurried to search several other shrines, but she didn't find what she wanted, and just wanted to go out and leave, when suddenly the air in front of her fluctuated. Subconsciously drew her sword and blocked, a metallic sound erupted, and the strong force from her hand made her take a few steps back.
"Ninjutsu?"
There was a little more solemnity in the girl's voice.
The other party didn't answer, as if she hadn't appeared, and the next moment the girl suddenly felt something. The long sword slammed into the pillar next to it, and then the figure of a black-clad ninja appeared. But he had been stabbed in the chest with a long sword.
"How did you know I was here......."
"Nonsense. The Five Elements Escape Technique has been passed on to you, and there is only this three indiscriminate ninjutsu left! ”
The girl was too lazy to talk nonsense, and with a twist of her long sword, she killed the ninja quickly, and then quickly left, with a clean and neat approach. It looks like he's killed a lot of people.
As the girl gets closer to the location of the apse, the ninja appears more and more, and the methods become more complicated and elusive. I'm afraid no one would have imagined that such a seemingly ordinary shrine could hide such a large number of ninjas!
Even if someone breaks into this place with a gun, it will be killed in an instant, and unless it is directly blown up with heavy weapons such as missiles or atomic bombs, it will not be solved at once.
After turning on the stealth mode, Zhang Yang, who was wearing a battle armor, hurried here, and the picture of the scarab beetle coming back made him couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect that there were really ninjas in store, and there were so many of them, which made Zhang Yang rush to some crises.
"Meiji Jingu is only one of the five major shrines, and there are such a number of ninjas, so what about the other four major shrines? There are tens of thousands of large and small shrines in Japan, and even if only one percent of them have ninjas, this is an extremely large number. ”
Ever since he learned about the existence of the supernatural person, Zhang Yang has been wondering, why when Japan repeatedly visited the Yasukuni Shrine, why no one went to stop it. Now it seems that it is not that they do not want to demolish it, but that there is probably a huge amount of force hidden in the Yasukuni Shrine, as the face of Japan, and it is one of the five major shrines, and its defense power is probably only higher than that of the Meiji Jingu.
On the other side, the girl danced the long sword in her hand impenetrable, and countless hidden weapons such as silver needles, darts, and thistles were stopped one by one and formed a circle under her feet. The long sword in the girl's hand is obviously not an ordinary thing, it is actually sharp, and the ordinary ninja long knife is broken at the touch of a button, which surprises these ninjas, and the girl's kung fu is not weak, once it is shot or kicked by the girl, basically the bones are broken, so these ninjas can only attack with hidden weapons from afar.
"No! I've got to find a way out of this situation, or I'll die here exhausted!" ”
The high-intensity battle is also very strict on the consumption of the body, and the girl naturally understands the plans of these ninjas, and intends to use the wheel to fight, without stopping, and quickly crosses a bluestone fence and escapes into a courtyard.
"My lord, shall we continue?"
The ninja who was called an adult looked at the wall and seemed to be very jealous, hesitated for a moment, but still denied: "No, this woman has entered the apse, and she will definitely not be able to escape, you lead the others to other places in the shrine to see if there are any other invaders." ”
"Yes!"
A large number of black-clad ninjas, who emerged from the air and disappeared again, seemed to have a way to deflect the light and achieve the effect of invisibility.
And after the girl jumped into the stone wall, she felt bad for a while, and the aura around her seemed to change suddenly, and a middle-aged man in a black kimono was looking at her coldly.
"You're the intruder?" (To be continued......)
