Chapter 222: Abandoning the Darkness and Turning to the Light (II)

Before the words fell, the Demon Sword Shattered Soul had already been used. The shining blade of the sword reflected the sunset, and it was like a fiery red. Pu Guanshui stood with a sword, which was even more majestic, and he really deserved to be the "Demon Sword King" of Rhode Island.

"Dingdong~Dingdong~Dingdong~" sounded three crisp voices in succession. Akechi Mitsuhide, along with Shimada Kanbei and Katayama Goroubei, threw the weapon he was carrying at the feet of the Sword Shadow Demon Trace team. It was as if they were so intimidated by the majesty of Puguanshui that the three samurai surrendered voluntarily at the same time.

Of course, Pu Guanshui is not Long Aotian, so he doesn't have any Wang Ba's qi on him to shoot everywhere. The reason why the three samurai laid down their arms was actually for another reason. Immediately after, I heard them speak, and said something that the [Sword Shadow Demon Trace] team had never expected beforehand.

Sixteen years ago, the Celestial God Sect abandoned the Buddha and became a demon, wandering around Japan in the name of the "Thousand People Beheading" Demon King, charging high prices and solving problems that the lords and daimyo of various places could not solve on their own. There are three reasons for this. The first is to collect money. It is important to know that in this world, although money is not everything, it is impossible to have money. Secondly, by traveling among the great daimyos, the Tenjin Sect was able to gather a lot of useful information and information for his future use. Third, in order for the Celestial God Sect to realize its ambitions, it must tap a large number of talents.

In the organizational structure envisioned by the Celestial God Sect, the Six Demons are cannon fodder and the vanguard of creating chaos, the Five Blades are the special operations forces, the Three Generals are responsible for building a huge underground intelligence network, and the Second Ghost is the real right-hand man of the Celestial God Sect. As for the four guards, their status is the most special. Shibata Katsuie is the number one warrior of the Oda family, and Akechi Mitsuhide is a rookie that the Saito family has high hopes for. And Shimada Kanbei and Katayama Goroubei, even though they are not as famous in history as the previous two, in fact, they are in the family of the princes and daimyo to which they originally belonged, and their status is similar to that of Akechi and Shibata.

After careful selection, the Tenjin Sect believed that these four princes were the most promising and most likely to dominate among so many princes in all of Japan. So he used various means to bring Shibata Katsuya and Akechi Mitsuhide and other four people under his command one by one. In the ideal of the Heavenly God Sect, when the four princes of the other day become stronger, the four guards will naturally rise and become generals with heavy troops. When the time comes, find a suitable time to let the four guards rebel and destroy the main family, won't the Heavenly God Sect easily take the strength of these four princes into their own?

However, human calculations are often inferior to heavenly calculations. The Tenjin Sect calculated that the Oda family had the best chance to grow and become hegemonic, but it didn't count that this person who could lead the Oda family was not the wise Oda Nobuyuki, but Oda Nobunaga, nicknamed Owari Big Fool. Shibata Katsuya actually took the initiative to switch to Oda Nobunaga on the eve of the "Inao Battle" when the two brothers of the Oda family met, and it was all out of his own idea, not the instructions of the Tenjin Sect.

After this time, the Tenjin Sect was very dissatisfied with Shibata Katsuie's self-assertion. Although he has not been investigated on the surface, the essence is no longer trusted by him. In addition, Saito Yoshiryu rebelled and killed Saito Michizo, which was also unexpected by the Tenjin Sect.

Since Akechi Mitsuhide was confiscated and wandered, the secret weapon arranged by the Heavenly God Sect was abolished. Shimada Kanbei and Katayama Goroubei, but the main family they originally served was destroyed by others first. So much so that the three guards all became ownerless ronin at the same time.

According to the original jihua of the Heavenly God Sect, the four guards should be a general in the future. So now that they are all in high positions of power, what if Weishenme still wants to obey the orders of the Heavenly God Sect? The reason lies in one word: poison! The Heavenly God Sect has placed a strange poison on the four guards. The antidote is only possessed by the Celestial God Sect itself. Originally, it was an antidote, and Siwei had to accept his fate. But this time, the Celestial God Sect ordered Shibata Katsuya to assassinate Oda Nobunaga, and after the other three guards knew about it, the three of them unexpectedly had a sense of pity for the death of the rabbit and the fox. Fearing that one day they would end up in this fate, they decided to rebel against the Celestial God Sect and try to find a way to survive for themselves.

What's the way forward? It's on the Sword Shadow Trail squad. Chen Sheng and the others successively eliminated the five blades and four demons under the command of the Heavenly God Sect, and even the Heavenly God Sect itself was beheaded. After this information was known to the three guards of Akechi Mitsuhide, the three of them immediately understood. If you want to get rid of the shackles of the Heavenly God Sect and regain your freedom, there is no other way than to ask for help from the [Sword Shadow Demon Trace] team.

It was precisely because of this idea that Sanwei immediately chased after Chen Sheng and the others after inquiring about the whereabouts of Chen Sheng and the others, and finally caught up in the small mountain village just now. Now, they just wanted to ask the Sword Shadow Demon Trace team to show mercy and help them free themselves from the control of the Celestial God Sect. As long as this can be achieved, they are willing to pay whatever it takes.

While the three of them were telling about what had happened, Pu Guanshui had been casting the "Lie Perception" magic on the side. And the magic told Pu Guanshui that what the three guards said was actually true. Although the enemy turned against each other, although it was unexpected, it was definitely beneficial and harmless for the Sword Shadow Demon Trace team. As for helping the three of them detoxify...... It's very simple, too. Pu Guanshui believes that no matter what kind of strange poison, as long as his servant, the goddess of Mother Earth God, Guan Renia, appears, and casts a magic technique to detoxify, the matter will be done. But......

Before the three guards completely lost their usefulness, Puguan Water was not so simple, and it was not so refreshing, and it could detoxify them immediately.

"The Art of War" cloud: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." "The situation is very obvious. Between the Sword Shadow Demon Trace team and the Heavenly God Sect, sooner or later there will be a fierce conflict between you and me. Then, from a tactical point of view, it is very necessary to collect as much information as possible about the Celestial God Sect. Although the three "guards" of Wise Mitsuhide have long been wasted, they are not relied on and trusted by the Celestial God Sect. However, they were also full members of this organization, and they should have some understanding of the other members. And this information is likely to be able to determine the victory or defeat of both sides of the battle at some critical moments.

Pu Guanshui's eyes rolled twice, then he smiled, stepped forward to help the three of them up, and picked up the weapons they had dropped with his own hands, and returned them to the three of them. Then he said, "I see, then we fully understand." That is, you have resolved to turn from darkness to light. Very good, very good, this is a great thing. So...... Does the Heavenly God Sect know that you have turned against him? Also, those dead bodies in the village just now, were they his ghosts? ”

Wise Mitsuhide shook his head and said, "Since we became ronins, the Heavenly God Sect has paid little attention to us. The poison he inflicted on the four of us requires an antidote every six months. So in the past few years, except for the regular contact with the Heavenly God Sect once every six months, he doesn't care about us at all. I had vaguely heard that the Celestial God Sect seemed to want to make a big move. As for the specific content, he did not disclose it to us. But...... The kind of mass murder methods, and the ability to turn the dead into walking dead...... If we guess correctly, then the attackers must be the Koga Ten, or the Onimen Eight. Under the command of the Heavenly God Sect, only they have this ability. ”

Shimada Kanbei sighed and said, "Hirashiba Village is the only way to Zenko-ji Temple. The Heavenly God Sect spent so much effort to engage in such a big battle, and it was obvious that it wanted to block the Zenko Temple and prevent unrelated idlers from entering and leaving. It can be seen that he must have a very vicious scheme. But what exactly...... It's really hard to understand. ”

Pu Guanshui shrugged, and he didn't care much about what the Heavenly God Sect was going to do if it wanted to block the Zenko Temple. He just asked curiously, "What kind of Jiahe Ten people did you just say, or the Eight people of the Ghost Gate, they are the three generals?" Or two ghosts? ”

Shimada Kanbei shook his head and said in a condensed voice: "If the two ghosts make a move, then when we arrive in the village, we will only see broken corpses everywhere." The Ten of Koga and the Eight of the Ghost Gate are indeed related to the three generals, but they are not the three generals themselves, but the subordinates of the three generals. ”

Chen Sheng frowned and said, "The three generals still have subordinates?" ”

Goro Katayama replied, "Of course." General. What kind of general is no subordinates? But in fact, they are just called like this, and they just put gold on their faces. They weren't even samurai at all, they were just a bunch of vile and dirty ninjas. ”

"Ninja?" When Su Ziling heard this, she couldn't help but feel refreshed. Asked, "Will you use chakra energy?" Seal the tailed beast with the power of a human pillar, the kind of ninja who can fly to the sky? ”

"Chakra? Tailed beasts? The three "guards" looked at each other, like Zhang Er King Kong in a daze, and they didn't know what Su Ziling was talking about. Pu Guanshui and Chen Sheng looked back at each other, and each chuckled twice. Chen Sheng shook his head and said, "Xiao Su, you think too much." There's definitely no such thing here. Pu Guanshui restrained his smile and asked, "You guys talk about it carefully." What is the origin of these ninjas? ”

Akechi Mitsuhide said: "The three generals are the general of the Dark Ghost Gate, Genma Himo, the general of the Koga Swastika, and the general of Iga Aga, Iga Aphantus. They lead the three groups of ninjas of the Onimon people, the Koga people, and the Iga people. But we don't know exactly what they are capable of. The reason why I guessed that the village just now was caused by the joint efforts of the ten people of Koga and the eight people of the Onimen was because I had been in contact with them before. Unfortunately, ninjas keep their names strictly secret. Therefore, although we know that the two people who attacked must belong to the Ten of Koga and the Eight of the Ghost Gate, it is not clear who they are. ”

Katayama Goro Beibei sighed and said, "That member of the Koga Ten, she is a big beauty, but she can only be watched from a distance, and she can't be blasphemed. Because her ninjutsu is poison. The whole body is poisonous. Her casual breath is enough to poison people. Alas~ It's terrible, but it's actually pitiful. Because she is destined to be unable to contact men, she can only be lonely for the rest of her life. ”
