Chapter 2: The Land of Izumo

In July of the year 568 of the Altino calendar, the country of Izumo, Japan

Izumo no Kuni, located in Kitakyushu, Japan, is an ancient land with a long history. Before the formation of the shogunate system, it was the location of the ancient kingdom of Yamadai, and to this day, there are still many relics of the ancient times for people to pay their respects.

Lancelot and the three of them traveled at the same time, and soon came to Izumo, where they encountered their first problem.

Going to the land of Izumo to capture the Celestial Cloud Sword was the sole purpose of this trip, but what exactly did the Celestial Cloud Sword look like, where to put it, and how to capture it? These answers are completely unknown.

According to the information originally obtained, the Tencong Cloud Sword was placed in Atsuta Jingu in Nagoya, but it was a place that had nothing to do with Izumo at all. In comparison, Lancelot thought that there was no reason why everyone knew where to collect a sacred relic as valuable as the Three Artifacts, so Fenghua's information was much more reliable.

But the country of Izumo is not big, but it is not small, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to search slowly inch by inch with just three of them, and Lancelot is very distressed about this, and he doesn't know where to start.

The Bai family's intelligence network was completely useless, they couldn't even grasp the news of the Tiancong Cloud Sword in the country of Izumo, let alone the exact location, when it came to the depth and breadth of intelligence collection, it was obviously far inferior to the Qinglou Alliance.

"I said I didn't have to be in such a hurry, I came here, and I didn't know where the things were hidden, so why did I come in such a hurry? Youxue, who was forced to hurry, was still dissatisfied and complained.

"Shh......h Shuntaro, be quiet, husband, he's thinking about something. ”

Izumi Sakura handed Yuxue a cup of herbal tea, telling him to stop chattering while cautiously glancing at Lancelot's silhouette.

Since the reunion of the two in their small village, their relationship has been at a standstill. It seems that because of Feng'er's request before leaving, Lancelot didn't have any violence towards Izumi Sakura, and he didn't get angry at her for hurting herself again, but because he was in a hurry, the two didn't have much chance to talk, and when they met their eyes, they immediately turned away, making the atmosphere extremely strange.

Even regardless of the battle during the Ikedaya incident, the awkward scene before Izumi lost consciousness made her afraid to look at the man squarely. It was almost a dirty act of persecution, but because of her heavy hand at Ikedaya, she felt guilty and became the party of grievance.

Along the way, looking at Lancelot's back, Izumi Sakura felt uneasy. If you want to say a few words to him, but you are afraid of being scolded by him, or you want to violate yourself with a hideous smile, you really don't know what to do.

(But...... Is this going to go on forever...... οΌ‰

Izumi Sakura was very annoyed, but Lancelot completely ignored her thoughts, and was just preoccupied with how to find the location of Excalibur.

Fenghua will entrust so carefully, the point is not to get the Excalibur, but to stop the conspiracy after getting the Excalibur.

I don't know what the true face of the conspiracy is, but since this conspiracy was launched in the country of Izumo, then the other party should have already come here, and he was moved, but he couldn't see the clue for a while.

The water surface is too calm to see anything, and only when the waves are turbulent and dirty, can you have room to fish in troubled waters. In other words, throwing a stone into the water and seeing what is below seems to be the only thing that can be done at the moment.

"It's decided, there's ...... Shuntaro, are you still wearing the clothes you pretended to be the Iron Mask Ladyboy?"

When Lancelot said this to Youxue in all seriousness, the poor Sheter was almost stunned.

"Isn't it, boss, what do you want to do?"

"It's not what I want to do, it's what you're going to do. Smiling wickedly, Lancelot's expression made Yuxue shiver all over his body, knowing that he must be given some difficult task again.

Completely unwilling, Yuxue was forced to put on a brocade robe, with half an iron mask on his face and a long sword at his waist, and stood in front of Lancelot bitterly.

"Well, it's good, if you raise your fat body, your hands and feet become longer, and your face becomes more handsome, you will look like seven or eight points. ”

"Boss, this is not a joke, what do you want me to do like this?"

Lancelot didn't answer, but looked at Izumi Sakura on the side. Seeing her dressed like this, her face suddenly turned snow-white, her lips trembled, her eyes were confused, as if she remembered something, but after thinking deeply, she found nothing.

"Don't think about it, some things are better to forget, and some people don't need to be remembered at all. ”

Lancelot slapped twice on the shoulder, Izumi Sakura's mood calmed down, and the chaotic images in her mind were expelled, and her body no longer trembled. Izumi Sakura was grateful for such care, and just wanted to say something, but Lancelot whispered something in his ear.

"Hey, don't try to mess around, I've only done half of what happened that day, don't think I'll just leave it at that......"

The words that seemed to be mocking, but with a somewhat eerie feeling, made Izumi Sakura stunned for a moment, unable to say anything.

Yuyuki, who saw all this on the side, didn't have much room to sigh for Izumi Sakura, because he was forced to disguise himself as an iron-faced god general, and received an order from Lancelot to make trouble at various shrines in Izumo.

Although I don't know where the Tiancong Cloud Sword is hidden, since there are rumors that there are three artifacts hidden in the shrine, I think it should have something to do with the priesthood system here, so that Youxue can make a big fuss, and more or less find out something.

The way to make trouble is very simple, although it will not break into the shrine to kill people and set fires, but if you don't do some heinous defilements, how can you attract the enemies behind the scenes to lose their minds and show up?

Yuxue almost repeats this pattern, picking when there are many people, rushing into the shrine, scolding in a mess, and finally splashing a bucket of dung everywhere in his hand, screaming and laughing, and rushing out of the shrine.

Of course, in the eyes of the believers around him, such behavior was simply the anger of the gods and men, and before he could finish pouring a bucket of dung, someone picked up the stone on the ground and threw it over, and when the snow was about to leave, he was followed by a large group of angry people armed with sickles and hoes.

"Uh......h Boss, if you force me to do this kind of thing, I will definitely be punished by heaven, and you will definitely have retribution!"

Complaining, there are snow feet running like flying, at a speed almost galloping horse, and the crowd behind him is far away.

The escape ability of the Shet people, after so many years of training, has already been superb. Whether it is to make a living alone, or to follow Lancelot and Hua Bian Que later, Youxue is never immune to the unfortunate fate of pulling his legs and running wildly.

It didn't take long for the name of the iron-faced pervert to spread all over the country of Izumo, and the pig-headed demon, the June Snow Grudge Spirit, and the three strange things about Japan in the past few months. This trick did have an effect, and on the third day of Yuyuki's disruptive behavior, when he had just poured dung on the statue of the fourteenth shrine, the enemy appeared.

It's not the first time they've met each other, but Ariyuki really didn't expect to meet these crazy women again in Izumo, far away from Kyoto, so when they shouted "Tenju" and jumped down from the roof with a net, it still startled him.

There were a total of twelve of them, although they were masked and dressed in black, but judging from their figures, they were all middle-aged and young women. They are naturally in league with the eight old women who threw Lancelot as otherworldly garbage, but to shame on them, Lancelot and Youxue still don't know where they are and why are they enemies?

Under the hood of the big net, there was snow as if she was frightened, and she stood there without moving. However, he has encountered countless ambushes, and he has long had a contingency to such a trap, and now he is just waiting for the net to cover his head, and then at the same time as the net is tightened, he throws the smoke bomb in his hand to the ground, and the smoke and dust are dense, so that the enemy's eyes can't be opened, and he coughs again and again, and is broken out of the net by Youxue with a sharp dagger.

"Ha, such a simple scene wants to stump Lao Tzu, in the next life...... Oops!"

Youxue is indeed too careless, in the end, it is not an ordinary villager who surrounds him, but a martial arts expert who is quite cultivated, although he can't see things, but as soon as his voice comes out, he is immediately aware of the position, and several sharp blades are cut at the same time, if it is not for the fast dodge, he will immediately be separated. Rao is like this, and he was immediately surrounded by people in all directions, and he couldn't escape.

(Oops, oops, the Dead Ghost Boss said he wouldn't make a move, and that I had to find a way to escape by myself, or else he would chase me as a loyal and brave marquis...... Let's try it to see if Master Ghost Po's ninjutsu scroll is useful. οΌ‰

The last time he was surrounded and arrested by the new writing team, the results of the first trial of ninjutsu were really miserable, but now there is no way to imagine, Yuxue can only bite the ninjutsu scroll to his mouth, pinch the handprint, and silently recite the incantation, hoping to escape into the ground, or transform into some other animal, and he can successfully escape.

(Success! Success! Feet sink into the ground, I'm going to escape...... Huh?)

Yuyuki's ninjutsu did have an effect, and when the smoke and dust disappeared, there was no longer his figure, and in its place, there was a large tree with dense foliage, branches stretched horizontally, and the bark was mottled, swaying the leaves with the breeze.

"What about people?"

"We fenced all the portals, and there was no way he could get out. ”

"Then why can't you see anyone, where is that fat man hiding?"

The women were incredulous at the sudden disappearance of the enemy, and they searched everywhere but could not find a trace, and finally they focused on the thing that should not have appeared.

That's all too obvious. Either way, suddenly there was a big tree in the house, and no matter how real it looked, it was always very out of harmony with the next one. And when everyone's eyes slowly turned from doubt to affirmation, the big tree also seemed to be very "frightened", and the branches and leaves couldn't help shaking violently.

"Look at this tree......"

"There must be a problem, don't say anything more, chop it up first!"

Everyone reached a consensus, and they couldn't help but say, and they waved their knives and cut down the big tree. With the right strategy, if you cut it down, the Shetters inside will only end up miserable. Fortunately, the snow had already been prepared, and before a few sharp blades could break through the tree, the trunk exploded first, shooting debris in all directions, and the large tree that fell with a bang made the scene chaotic.

"Woohoohoo~~"

The thick white smoke dispersed again, and Yuxue held a ninjutsu scroll in his mouth, pinched the magic seal in his hand, and let out an insoluble smug smile from his mouth, riding on a giant frog two feet high, jumping out of the encirclement net and rushing out.

(Hey, hey, hey, it's long overdue to use this trick, this kind of big frog summoning is the primordial royal road of ninjutsu...... οΌ‰

Finally, a skill came in handy, and Yuyuki was so ecstatic that she almost screamed, but she barely remembered the scroll that was in her mouth, and she didn't dare to be careless, so she jumped up and down on a big frog and rushed towards the exit of the shrine.

However, although this ninjutsu is very useful, it still goes wrong. Just before rushing out of the shrine, when the big frog jumped in mid-air, Yuxue suddenly had a "frozen feeling", and his hands, feet, faces, and even his eyebrows couldn't move, and the big frog riding under him suddenly froze and fell heavily to the ground.

(It's too careless, these mothers-in-law will use that kind of immobilization, I forgot about that...... οΌ‰

When they attacked the inn at night that day, with their personal martial arts, they cast a fixed body and a sluggish spell, which had caused the children of the Bai family to suffer a big loss, and Youxue also witnessed it with his own eyes, but because it was not he who was recruited, he was not impressed, and he did not remember it again until this time.

When he fell to the ground, the scroll in his mouth was damaged, and the big frog disappeared. Youxue was tied up by the five flowers, and the women didn't seem to have the intention of killing him immediately, but just dragged him away.

"What a bold fanatic, he dared to come to Kunlun Mountain to spread wilderness, and didn't take our Western Queen Mother clan in his eyes......"

Yuxue seemed to hear them say this, but because he spoke Japanese, he could not hear very clearly, so he was dragged behind his horse, and followed the women all the way, and after a quarter of an hour, he came to a very desolate hillside, and when he saw the fierce light in their eyes, he knew that he was about to die.

"Call your comrades out!"

The sharp knife crosses the neck, and the other party threatens to have snow like this. They are not stupid people, how can they not see this simple plan to lure the enemy, and now that they have captured the hostages, it is their turn to coerce the enemy and their comrades to show up.

And since the situation has evolved like this, Izumi Sakura has no choice but to show up. Originally, I planned to follow these people back to their lair and make plans again, but now that they have been discovered, it doesn't matter, because the basic purpose of luring the enemy has been achieved, as long as a few people are taken, they can be forced to ask for the required information.

It's just that Izumi Sakura found that she was still underestimating the chips in the other party's hand, because just as she rescued Youxue first, the same strong wind rushed towards her vest.

(Celestial Power?Who is coming?)

Not daring to slack off, Izumi Sakura turned around and responded to a blow, as soon as she made contact, she immediately felt that her own strength was leaking out of one stream, and she was taken aback, using the consistent technique of dealing with this kind of erosion technique, condensing her own internal force, and pushing out two waves in a row, taking advantage of the gap in the opponent's erosion power, to shake him away.

The strategy was successful, and the enemy had no intention of separating the winner from the enemy, and the two sides were shocked and separated, narrowing the distance.

Izumi Sakura pulled through the snow, held the momentum, and looked at the young man in front of her. The appearance is dignified, especially when the corners of his mouth are raised and he sneers, there is a kind of outstanding arrogance, but Izumi Sakura has no good impression of him, because from the strength of the fight just now, she has already recognized that this man is the batwing demon who has fought with her several times and attacked Fenghua that day.

"Don't you pretend to be a ghost anymore this time?" Izumi Sakura said coldly, and she also guessed in her heart, why did the other party suddenly show her true face and no longer pretend?

"There's no need for that. Plans can never catch up with changes, and it's a blessing to say that it's good. ”

There was a hint of bitterness in his smile, and Hua Tianxiao said self-deprecatingly. The previous efforts to pretend to be ghosts were honestly not a good experience, and every time I felt that I was really stupid to do this, I just hoped to stir up strife between Lancelot and Chiresse, and when they both lost, I could take advantage of the fisherman.

Chires's Heavenly Demon Cultivation, there are not many people in the world who can match him today, and Lancelot duels with him, which is naturally negative. But Chirez can't get out of the way, as long as he strikes at the right time, he can eradicate these two formidable enemies in one fell swoop.

However, it was impossible to estimate that Li Yu, who was far overseas, would suddenly return. A few days ago, in a battle at sea, Chirez was seriously injured by Li Yu, dragged his life and fled, and will not appear in Japan again for a while, even if he wants to provoke a struggle between the two sides, it is useless to find no one.

Izumi Sakura didn't know anything about these things, and of course she didn't understand the meaning of Hua Tian's evil words, so she was just on guard in her heart at the moment and held the chain gun in her hand. When I left Kyoto, I didn't have time to carry the spear of Longji Crossbow, although this artifact is connected to my own blood, as long as I concentrate and summon, I can break through the air at any time within a thousand miles, but the use of Shangwei is too much burden on the body, if it is not necessary, try not to use it.

And although the martial arts of the person in front of him are evil, if he fights hard, he is still inferior, and the use of the chain gun alone should be enough......

"You're here to find the Heavenly Cloud Sword, right? In order not to waste each other's time, I'll give you a clue. Hua Tian said evilly: "If you want to find the Tiancong Cloud Sword, you must first find the big snake, and only by passing the test of the big snake can you get the divine sword." ”

Izumi Sakura was confused. This person is not friend or foe with himself, and the reason why he came to Izumo this time was not so much to seize the sword, but to deal with him, so why did he take the initiative to provide clues to the Tiancong Cloud Sword?

An ominous feeling welled up in his heart, and the other party's fearless attitude made Izumi Sakura feel uneasy, and she couldn't think of the basis for his composure.

"If you want to pass the word, it is enough to have the Sheters, as for you...... We've been tasked with cleaning up the portal, and we're going to clean you out the former patriarch who forgot his duty and got into trouble with the gangsters. ”

Hua Tian smiled evilly: "That wild monkey is staring at you from twenty miles away, right? Flying at full speed with the power of the strong heavenly position, the distance of twenty miles will be there in the blink of an eye, but it is somewhat slower to be restrained by the thunder and lightning circle in the middle, you may not know that there are many ancient spirit fields in Izumo this place, and the effect of casting spells is doubled, which is a very conducive place for sorcerers to fight." ”

There was a faint thunder explosion in the distance, obviously Lancelot sensed that something was wrong and rushed at full speed, but from the intensity of the thunder and the strong shock wave, it proved that what this man said was true, and Lancelot couldn't come for a while.

The initiative of the whole situation fell into the hands of the other party, and he still couldn't figure out what his intentions were, Izumi Sakura clenched the red gun, ready to make a move at any time. His martial arts are definitely better than the other party, but he can be so confident, is there some trap in ambush?

β€œ...... The cultivation of the strong heaven position is really powerful, so it seems that there is only ten moves at most, and the wild monkey is about to be killed, but ......" Hua Tian smiled evilly: "If you can save your life within ten moves, why can't we let you go today?"

Izumi Sakura was not provoked by the enemy, but when she heard the word "we", she was still taken aback, and then she saw a bright red figure, appearing beside the enemy without warning, and the powerful light and heat instantly rushed towards her......

Feng'er is still in the dungeon and has not left. Although Amakusa Shiro had planned to release the prisoner privately that day, Kaede knew that this was not Odaka's intention, so she rejected his kindness.

"Sojiro, you really ...... Is it like what your master said?"

Thinking of that day's conversation, Feng'er felt very confused. I have always thought that Sojiro's child is a little strange, but I want to say that if everything is normal, then it is impossible to cultivate into the power of heaven with the body of a child, so I don't care, but where did I think that he is so strange, even his life form is very different from himself.

It's not human, and it can't be classified as a demon, this unprecedented alien creature has a way of thinking that it can't understand.

In the conversation with Amakusa that day, what shocked Kaede the most was the truth about the series of bloody cases in Hokkaido. From Amakusa Shiro's mouth, Kaede finally knew that the murderer who went on a killing spree in Hokkaido and stained the barren mountains with blood was of course Chires, but the person who asked him to go to Hokkaido to kill in exchange for his freedom was Oda Xiang herself.

At that time, Lancelot invaded Kyoto Castle and kidnapped Izumi Sakura in the name of "Yagyu Ichchito", and he asked Sojiro curiously why he was not there to protect him? He replied that there was a murder in Hokkaido and that he was receiving an envoy to investigate, and he asked for assistance in the investigation without thinking. After arriving in Hokkaido, he was surprised to find that the exact time of the murder was after Sojiro's conversation with him, and he was surprised at that time.

"When I spoke to you, there was nothing going on in Hokkaido, but when you offered to go with her to investigate the case, she turned it into a fact in order not to let the lie go. ”

Amakusa Shiro said: "This girl looks simple, but in fact, her mind is very detailed, I was afraid that she would make a ghost in front of me, so I put honesty first when I was educated, no matter what, you can't lie to people, as long as you say it, you must do it...... Alas, I thought that as long as she was honest, I would have time to stop her from making mistakes, and I didn't expect things to turn out like this. ”

According to Shiro Amakusa, although he taught Oda Ka what was right and wrong, what things could be done and what not to do, because of their different ways of thinking, he could not speculate on what Oda would decide when his own education conflicted with each other.

Just like the primeval magic path program system, all of Oda Xiang's thinking and judgment are based on theory, fast and direct, but there are problems in subtle turns. Because the input order she accepted at the beginning was to put "honesty" in the first place, when making a judgment, she did not hesitate to sacrifice a lot of lives to prove her lie in order to maintain her "honesty".

"Chireth is a little related to her, but she doesn't have much kinship, every time we meet, I call and kill her, and then we are imprisoned together, and I have been separated for a while, and the girl this time in order to fulfill the lie, I let him out to kill, I knew that it was too late, and I reprimanded her, but it was useless. ”

Amakusa Shiro sighed and said with great regret that he had failed to do his duty of upbringing, thus hurting innocent compatriots. Kaede didn't think he should be blamed for anything, a big devil like Amakusa Shiro, how could he care about other people's lives when he was in the sword rivers and lakes? He didn't instill these erroneous concepts of treating human life as a mustard to Odaka, but seriously taught her the principles of the normal world, so she should be thankful.

"In that girl's concept, a traitor is far more hateful than an enemy, and he can tolerate the enemy, but he must not let the traitor go. Since you used to be close to her before, and now that you are turning your face, she will definitely kill you, so ...... I advise you not to have illusions about her, and to leave as soon as you can. ”

"The enemy can be tolerated, and the traitor cannot be spared...... This concept ...... Did you instill it in her too?"

Asked by Feng'er like this, Amakusa Shiro was obviously stunned for a moment, and then, touching his chin, he nodded with a wry smile, and turned to leave.

When leaving, Amakusa Shiro helped Kaede remove the chains and open all the prison doors, so that she could escape by herself at any time as long as she decided to leave.

For this preferential treatment, Feng'er naturally felt very weird, I didn't expect Amakusa Shiro to "take care" of him so much, thinking that he was not related to him, I really don't know why he looked at him differently?

The prison door is no longer defended, although the power of the heavenly position has not been restored, but if you want to escape, it should not be difficult, the problem is that you don't want to leave.

It's impossible for Shiro Amakusa to tell a lie to himself, and even if he wants to deceive people, he doesn't have to tell such a ridiculous lie, the problem is that he still believes in human nature...... No, I shouldn't say that, after all, after going through so many things, I know the ugly side of human nature, and it's very ridiculous to believe or something. However, he still wanted to try to believe in Sojiro.

When we first met, I hugged myself with trembling little hands and called "Mom" softly, and I pestered myself to go out to play, and I diligently bought takoyaki for myself, and my smiling face at that time was ...... Are these things fake? Are these things really fake?

I have also received training in this area in the Qinglou, and I have learned how to disguise emotions, showing expressions and actions that are completely opposite to my heart, but just like the righteous sister who taught these techniques to me, the human heart is a very complex thing, and there is no way to completely use reason or dogma to speculate, no matter how to disguise, there will still be flaws, and in the same way, if this disguise can be perfect, then ...... I'm afraid that deep in the hearts of the parties involved, they have already changed in the process of disguise.

Oda Ka is not human, her thinking mode and emotional level are different from herself, the question is, can she really do what humans can't do, simulate all emotions so perfectly, but there is no feeling in her heart?

And if she has feelings in her heart like a human being, then the feeling of being regarded as a "different species" must be very uncomfortable, right? I didn't understand these things in the first place, but through the Reines Civil War, from the body of the young master Bai Qi, she experienced the sorrow of "alien", and Miss Xiaocao sighed more than once, if only she had noticed it earlier......

Maybe my idea is too naΓ―ve, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I don't want to give up, or rather...... I don't want to repeat the regret of Young Master Bai Qi.

Sighing, Feng'er still felt distressed, after all, as long as Oda Xiang didn't show up, she couldn't do anything, so she could only continue to squat in the bitter kiln here.

(Lancelot-sama and Izumi-sakura don't know what happened...... οΌ‰

Just thinking to himself, the door of the cell was pushed open with a "ah", and a figure rushed in quickly, just thinking that it was Amakusa Shiro who came to visit the prison again, or that the jailer sent prison food, how did he know that the other party suddenly ripped off the prison door and entered the prison.

"Go, I thought it was who, it turned out that you were locked up here, and what about the monkey in my house? Wasn't he locked up? Wasn't he locked up with you?"

After a series of questions, the person impatiently lifted his cloak and hood, revealing his face.

"Ni-Miss Nier?"

Kaede was amazed, she knew that Nile had been sent to Shangri-La to take over her job, and that she had come to Japan after the Ikedaya incident, but she never imagined that she would meet her in this dungeon. How did she come to Kyoto, and how did she come here to save people?

"Hey, you've been here for a while, do you speak Japanese?"

"Will ......"

"Yes, I owe someone who can speak Japanese. I went to Kyoto City to arrest a few people and asked if there was any news of Reyns's spies recently, and they were hesitant, and finally said that there were Reins people locked up, who knew it would be you?"

Looking at Nier's expression, she looked helpless, with the meaning of "I knew it was you, I wouldn't have come". Originally, there was no friendship between the two of them, and for Nier, Feng'er was an accessory of the Bai family, but because of her heavenly power, it was more noteworthy, but basically she still didn't have much good impression of her.

Especially after hearing that this woman and her brother are a little unclean......

"Since you're here, I can't leave you alone, you can go with me. ”

"No, I'm going to ......"

In a hurry, it was not clear that Feng'er could only roughly express that she was unwilling to leave, but this time she kicked the iron plate. Nier, who completely inherited her brother's style of self-will, has a stronger style of doing things since she has more experience in the military power in the North Gate Tianguan, and completely disregards Feng'er's wishes, and immediately ordered more than ten of her acupoints and took them away.

"Psycho, keep you here, what if someone threatens my brother in the future? ”

It is unreasonable to say, Feng'er, who can't use her strength, has no room for resistance at all, and she can only remind Nier that there are many masters in Kyoto City, and if they are detected, with the current strength of the two of them, they can only be captured.

"If you want to be discovered, I was already discovered when I sneaked in, but it's just a strong heavenly position, what's the big deal. ”

The almost arrogant confidence in Nier's tone stunned Feng'er. She had never known that this eldest lady's temper had a side similar to that of the past, but she felt wrong when she thought about it, because Nier's pointed tone was based on full confidence.

What is the basis for this confidence? And, one thing Niel is right, she is an ordinary martial artist who has never been trained to hide and hide, and it stands to reason that Oda Ka and Amakusa Shiro should have discovered her existence a long time ago, why haven't they moved until now? Even herself, she only found out when she pushed the door in.

Nile was wearing an old cloak, and as far as she could remember, she liked to move lightly, and she never wore such heavy clothing, but why did she change her outfit when she infiltrated the enemy formation?

"This cloak ......"

"It's not bad, you found out. As long as I wear this cloak, let alone you, even if I get close to the back of the old man Lu You and pluck the hair, he will not find out until the hair is plucked. ”

Niel said complacently, but this was not her original statement, but was paraphrased from someone.

Feng'er wondered again. Naturally, only the Magic Guild is the Magic Guild, but even Miss Xiaocao, who is the chairman of the guild, doesn't know that she can make this kind of magic guidance device that can hide under the eyes of the masters of the strong heavenly position, could it be that she has made a breakthrough after retreat? Or is it something that she has researched with Teacher Mei Lin?

"Don't guess, this cloak is very expensive, this is the only one on the Wind Continent, and it is an imported item that I just got my hands on. ”

Seeing through Feng'er's doubts, Nier added as if showing off, "Newly imported from the other side of the sea." ”

Feng'er didn't seem to understand, and with Nier's help, the two of them stuffed into a cloak and walked out of the dungeon in this crowded manner.

"Wait a minute, it's too wasteful, I heard that the Japanese princess who injured my brother is as beautiful as a fairy, you have been in Japan for so long, you must know where she is, right? Help me lead the way, even if you can't plot against her, it's good to peek at what she looks like." ”

For many reasons, Kaede didn't refute and took Niel towards Odaka's residence.

"Boss, how is Izumi Sakura?"

"It's out of the way, the other party doesn't know why there is no killer. Her injuries are not light, but they can't hurt her life, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

Lancelot shook his head, signaled to Yuxue next to him to be quiet, and continued to help Izumi Sakura perform qi to relieve injuries and pain.

Izumi Sakura had never practiced the ether immortal body, so it was naturally impossible for him to heal his injuries as quickly, but the body that gradually adapted to the demonization reaction reacted to the demonic energy, but after being catalyzed, it was also quite helpful to accelerate the metabolism, but it was necessary to be careful not to cause the erosion effect of the Heavenly Demon Gong to be too violent, and to suck the patient into a dry corpse first without helping to heal the wounds.

However, the reason why there is still room for healing is because of the merciful relationship between the other party's subordinates.

Listening to Youxue, as soon as the other party made a move, within seven moves, Izumi Sakura flew out, blood spilled in the air, but when she was about to send out the eighth blow and kill her semi-unconscious with one blow, she didn't know why she paused, and then her killing intent was greatly reduced, and with a flick of her red robe, she swept Quan Sakura away.

This is what you see when you break through the layers of lightning blockade and rush to come. Among the various natural elements, the power of the electric system is higher than that of the fire system, the wind system, and the water system. Applied to magic, this principle still hasn't changed, the dozens of interlocking thunder and lightning enchantments have been triggered, and even they have to spend a lot of effort to break through, if there is a master present to preside, they may have to spend a little money to break the formation.

Blocked by the enchantment, he was a step too late, and he didn't have time to take the blow for Izumi Sakura...... But it doesn't matter, this lizard girl is not her own person, she is used as cannon fodder, it is not a pity to be injured, if it is Feng'er over there, as long as she loses a hair, it will be heartache enough.

The red-robed man, he had felt his breath in the North Gate Tianguan, but he had never seen him, but he actually saw it this time, and he only felt that he had a strong domineering momentum, which was really the only one in his life, and that strong cultivation made him even more frightened.

Without relying on ambushes and tactics, he could not do this by himself if he hit Izumi Sakura hard within seven moves. Although it is also a strong heavenly position, but the use of the other party's Tianxin consciousness is familiar and spicy, he is a master of Lu Lao'er's level, and he is very magnificent, seeing that he broke through the thunder and lightning blockade, he shook Quan Sakura towards this side to demonstrate.

Out of instinct, he took Izumi Sakura and immediately used his strength to suppress her injuries, but this reaction was very unwise, because almost in a blink of an eye, the red shadow flashed in front of him, and the big man was already in front of him, and he hit her head-on with a bang.

Looking back on the countless battles he has experienced in his life, there has never been a fist so powerful and shocking, although it is a straight punch without any tricks, simply hitting the door, but with speed and will to fight, he was shaken by the confidence and domineering contained in it, and almost lost his mind.

Moreover, when he met this big man at close range, that face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, not angry but powerful, he should have never seen it, but there was a burning familiarity in his chest, as if he had a deep bond with this man......

The strong threat of death made him wake up at the last moment, raised his arm to defend, although he took it in time, but he did not have enough strength, and the power of this blow came straight through, breaking the wrist bone.

Attacking the heart with severe pain, while using the photoelectric leg body method to retreat sharply, while using the etheric immortal body to heal the arm, reorganize the offensive, and finally gain a firm foothold, the other party has taken advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Incompetent thing! The decisive battle of life and death is also a child's play, is Huang Taiji such a disciple?"

Before the two sides exchanged strength, he suddenly realized that at this moment he was still holding Izumi Sakura in his left arm, and luck was for her to suppress the injury, and only one right arm was left to fight the enemy. The strength is weak, that is, the strength of the two sides is equal, and they are also at a disadvantage, not to mention that the opponent's martial arts are obviously superior to their own, how can they win like this?

However, this person's energy and heat flow shrouded from above, and it was difficult to be overwhelmed, if he threw Quan Sakura away, he was fully focused on attacking him, and under the agitation of his energy, Quan Sakura, who had passed out in a coma, was bound to be hurt even more, and may even endanger his life, is this good?

Should this lizard girl be sacrificed? Should she just be let go of her death so as not to endanger herself?

The time is fleeting. It's a shame that although he still held Izumi Sakura in his left arm in the end, it was not because he made a decision in his heart, but when he hesitated, the opponent's fists had already come over, and he had to suppress his distracting thoughts and attack him in this unfavorable situation.

The momentum of the decisive battle disappeared one after another, and in an instant, the big man's fist suddenly lit up like the sun, and the blazing torrent hit the door directly, and before he made contact with him, he felt that his eyebrows and hair were so hot that they were about to burn, and his chest was forced to breathe by the heat wave, and he knew that it was not good at the moment.

The energy was intense, and a series of crisp bone explosions sounded in his right arm, and the blood that spurted out was immediately scorched by the high temperature, and the heat wave surged into his chest, quickly breaking through the true qi of the body, destroying the meridians, and throwing himself backwards.

(This is ...... Great Day Gong?)

In addition to the severe pain, the only thought that came to mind was this thought. Although the other party's strength blindly pays attention to bullying and killing, and it is quite lacking in the royal style of the Qianyang Great Sun Divine Skill, this fiery strength like the scorching sun spitting flames is undoubtedly the Great Sun Divine Skill of the adoptive father Huang Taiji.

After the death of his adoptive father, the only people in the world who will do great daily work should be senior brother Wang Wu, himself, and the little junior sister Ailing, although the heavenly master can simulate with the consciousness of the heavenly heart, but such an authentic great day power is not something that can be achieved by simulation. What is the origin of this person, why did he make the Great Rigong, and what is the relationship with himself?

These questions flashed in his mind, but he did not forget the fact that he was still on the battlefield at the moment, and as soon as he flew upside down, the Aether Immortal Body had already healed his arm, and before he could land under his feet, he immediately regrouped his offensive to meet the pursuit of this big man.

But the other party did not have a second wave of attacks, and after that blow knocked himself back, he also floated back with his sleeves and left with Hua Tianxie, who was traveling with him. Before leaving, he also killed the women who were dumbfounded by this series of changes, and left no one behind.

"Ignorant child, how can this kind of cultivation be worthy of being my Dolgon's enemy?

The recent heavenly master is really arrogant, but the other party does have the qualifications to be arrogant, seeing him drift away, but because of many scruples, he can't catch up to recover the shame just now, and he feels really unhappy.

After that, he took the spring cherry blossoms to find a place to heal his wounds, first to drive away the great sun energy that was still burning in the body, and then to help the spring cherry blossoms heal.

It is also important to have information relayed from Yuki's mouth. Although he didn't think that Hua Tianyi would have any good intentions, he wouldn't joke about the information and play a trick on himself.

In order to obtain the Heavenly Cloud Sword, you must first pass the test of the Great Snake. Is this so-called big snake the code name of some kind of master or formation? It can't really be a big python, right? The largest snake among the snakes is the giant python, but for the masters of the heavenly rank, let alone the giant python, even the flying dragon beast controlled by the dragon clan is also destroyed with one palm, what is the great thing about such a beast? What qualifications do you have to test yourself?

But you can't ignore it. The big man named Dolgon, who wants to fight him after obtaining the Tiancong Cloud Sword himself, although it sounds like a trap, but to get more information and get closer to the core of the problem, the only way to break through is to bite the bullet.

It is necessary to have a contact between Xue and Wuji's second brother-in-law, to find out information related to the big snake, and to concentrate on helping Izumi Sakura heal his wounds. That guy was probably deliberately left behind to pass on the word, so although today's battle was fierce, he was the least injured one, which is really hateful......

The dragon clan's holy blood and demonized flesh are very effective in healing injuries, and with this round of treatment, they have stabilized within a few hours. Speaking of which, this lizard girl is really upside down, with her martial arts at the moment, she has surpassed Nier and Feng'er a lot, and the title of Xiaotian's invincible position is absolutely worthy of the name, but she is always involved in the battle of the strong heaven, and she falls into an injury and coma at every turn.

Seeing the sweat on her forehead in her sleep, muttering to herself, frowning, and her rather painful expression, I don't know if she was having a nightmare?

Lancelot became curious, concentrated, and pressed his finger on Izumi Sakura's forehead, using his strong Heavenly Consciousness to spy on her dreams, wondering how he had abused her in the dream.

Unexpectedly, the scene that flashed in front of her did not belong to Izumi Sakura, but her predecessor, a woman named Ziyu.

Perhaps because of her unclear memory, these images are not only blurry, but also intermittent, and I am afraid that she will not even be able to understand the dream. But in my own eyes, with the knowledge of other forces, I can guess what is going on.

Under the semi-coercion of Zhou Gongjin, he went to fight in the North Gate Tianguan; the oppression of the elders of the clan, in order not to want the clansmen to be hurt again, went to the North Gate Tianguan alone; and......

Lancelot shuddered, surprised by the fleeting shadow in Izumi Sakura's dream. Although it doesn't look very clear, the figure is undoubtedly Fenghua, his expectations have not been disappointed, and Fenghua is really still in the world.

Anxious, he continued to pay attention to Izumi Sakura's dream, wanting to get more news related to Fenghua, but what appeared next was just a vague picture, a conversation with the two women.

Disappointed, Lancelot was discouraged, but he was attracted by the content of Fenghua and Ziyu's dialogue, and understood the Canglong Mental Method, the innate limitations of the Burning City Divine Spear on the woman, and the purpose of the Dragon Clan elders to let Ziyu practice the Divine Skills of the Clan.

Listening to this, Lancelot suddenly felt a sense of sorrow for this woman. Obviously, she is not the proud son of heaven as she imagined.

is born with a peerless fairy posture and a beautiful face, even if she doesn't have to do it herself, there will be men who are willing to work hard for her.

In terms of qualifications and talents, among the current heavenly masters, there are really few who can compare with her. Except for Gengoro, a generalist, there seems to be no one who is as good as her.

Compared with her background, she not only inherited the bloodline of the dragon clan, but was also accepted by Lu You as a closed disciple, and she had the strengths of both families, and at the same time obtained the resources of the two families, which was unique.

These conditions are all things that once made me envious, and even cursed behind my back, but I was blinded by prejudice, but I never thought that she also had pressure and helplessness on her shoulders.

After all, she has always been an object of hatred, and when you think of her, you only need to add hatred, and there is no reason to think about her.

However, it seems that she has also worked hard all the way......

is also a woman's body, in comparison, Xiaocao is undoubtedly much happier. Merlene, Bai Wuji, and even the late Queen Nida have prepared an environment for her to use her talents to the fullest, without interference, but only behind the scenes.

Those guys in the dragon clan are so perverse, and it seems that they are also blinded by power. Although it is just a small corner isolated from the world, the arrogant mentality of the dragon clan Yelang makes them regard this power as extremely important, and it is really boring to fight for it by such means.

obviously has a talent for martial arts, but she is physically limited and can't exert her due power on the battlefield, she must be very unwilling, right?

The elders of the clan are like this, most of the clan people are ignorant, and the master and brother outside seem to have other scheming, so it is speculated that she has no relatives in her life, and she doesn't even have a close friend, and the lonely years of more than 20 years must be very sad, right?

She's actually very pitiful......

The thought popped into his head, and Lancelot hurriedly withdrew his finger and shook his head, trying to shake the thought out of his head.

This woman is a mortal enemy that he can't forgive, there is no need to think about her more, just continue to hate her...... That way, everything will be easier, right?

"Hmmm......"

With a few small moans, Izumi Sakura seemed to wake up, and Lancelot went outside to fetch her a glass of water, and when she came in, she was able to sit up, take the cup, and drink it slowly.

"How's it going? Are you feeling better? Are you still feeling bad?"

Maybe I'm really not a big person, I have already made a decision in my heart, but I still can't make a decisive judgment, and I can't help but speak in this gentle tone.

"I'm not sad, it's still a little painful, but I feel happy. ”

"Neurotic, will you be happy when you hurt? Is it really popular to be a masochist lately?"

Smiling and holding the cup, Izumi Sakura's expression seemed to be serious, and she glanced at Lancelot secretly, and turned her head away before meeting her gaze, and then spoke in a low voice.

"I'm really happy because it's only when I'm injured...... Husband, you will smile at me, and if I could see your smiling face all the time, I would rather get hurt once a day. ”

"Nonsense, it's because you think about these things that you can't beat others. ”

Lancelot was secretly frightened, on the one hand, for Izumi's smile, and on the other hand, the throbbing in his chest when he witnessed that gentle smile made his heart even more uneasy.

"Shuntaro has already gone to find out about the big snake, if there is news, you have to leave early tomorrow morning, so you can rest by yourself. ”

Lancelot was about to leave, but Izumi's whisper made him stop.

"We ...... Isn't it possible to be the same again?"

In retrospect, since I met her, I have been constantly fighting and hating, and I have never had a good impression, and if I want to go back to the past, then I don't need to say anything, I will first cut each other eighteen times and then talk about it.

"I mean...... Back to when we were still in love. ”

Don't be stupid, there is no such time at all, how can two people who started their acquaintance with vendetta fall in love?

"I've done something wrong before, but I've been trying to make amends, but you've never given me a chance, husband. The two of us...... Is there no way to quench your anger?"

Lancelot heard the soft whisper, his heart moved, and said, "Okay, if you want a chance, I can give you a chance......"

"Really?" The impasse, which had been unable to break through for a long time, had the possibility of being broken, and Izumi Sakura was overjoyed, and hurriedly sat up, pulling the injury in her chest, and coughing.

"If you want me to renew the old friendship with you and give you your former status, it is absolutely impossible...... However, I have a few other wives, and if you are willing to be a maid and a slave for them, I can take you back in, it's very easy, it's similar to what you are doing now. ”

On the other hand, Lancelot did think that if the lizard girl had been so tame, then it would indeed be a wonderful thing to bring her back to the grass as a ring. However, when she turned her head, Izumi Sakura's expression was not happy, and she couldn't see any other emotions, but spoke slowly in a very quiet, quiet voice.

"If that's the case, then ...... I refuse. ”

This surprised Lancelot, because these days, she had tried almost everything to please herself, and now that she was finally willing to give her a way to go, she refused, wasn't it unreasonable?

"My guilt is only for you, husband, in order to repay your love, I am willing to offer my heart, however...... But I can't accept that you abandon this heart, husband. ”

Lancelot was startled by the quiet voice, but it revealed determination and will, staring at her reclining on the bed, looking at her eyes...... In a trance, it seems that the person who is talking to him is no longer Izumi Sakura, but a woman who was once familiar with her and resolutely guards her heart with self-esteem and pride......

"What is Izumo? Do you know how to get there?"

"I ...... It's not very clear, but you can ask and see, it shouldn't be difficult. ”

"First of all, I want to make it clear that I am not very willing to walk with you, but because I can't lift the prohibition on you, and I am afraid that you will be held hostage, so I have to go with you. ”

"Yes, I'm sorry to have bothered you. ”

Out of a state that is not intended, Nier and Kaede walk together and head towards the country of Izumo. Nile is certainly the boss's reluctance, but if she leaves it alone, this woman may sneak back to Kyoto City and cause trouble for herself.

Feng'er's own mood is also very conflicted, but thinking that she can't add a burden to her companions, she has no choice but to give up and act with Nier. It's just that...... I still can't forget the scene of peeping outside the hut with Nile that night.

That magic cloak did have a miraculous effect, not only did it successfully evade the spiritual search of the heavenly master, but it didn't even trigger the powerful barrier placed outside the stone house, so it went straight to the outside of the hut without any danger.

Halfway through, he had already told Nier that Sojiro and Oda Ka were the same person, and from the expression, Nile seemed to be hit hard, but in the end she put on a posture of "I will never believe it unless I see it with my own eyes".

And when I sneaked closer to the hut and quietly looked in, I saw Oda Ka, dressed in a gorgeous kimono, sitting in front of a mirror, looking at the image in the mirror, and oblivious to everything outside the window.

What is the purpose of looking in the mirror? Feng'er remembered asking before, Oda Xiang was not only not interested in grooming, but even combed her hair and wiped her face very rarely, so did she have any reason to look in the mirror?

When I peeked out with my eyes wide open, I found that Oda Ka was staring at the mirror, raising her hand in a sluggish manner, first pulling her left cheek and then her right, trying to make a smile.

The smile was not very successful, and she continued to experiment with different expressions, angry, sad, and contemplative expressions, all on her face, but the most tried was still the smile that tried to raise the corners of her mouth.

The strange expression, looking at Feng'er's eyes, only felt a burst of desolation. What is the inner mood of a person who has no expression? The child is trying so hard to laugh, but does she really know what people want to laugh for? If not, what is the purpose of this attempt?

Can't think of it, Feng'er just vaguely felt that everything was not as simple as Amakusa Shiro said. Of course, he is not lying to himself, the question is, is what he is telling the truth really the truth?

There is no way to verify, Feng'er has been dragged away by Nier. Knowing that Oda Xiang is Sojiro, the girl can be said to have no fighting spirit at all, and before she shows her feet, she quickly slips away, otherwise she will actually start to move and drag a burdensome self, and there will definitely be no hope of escaping.

After that, Nill asks Feng'er about her brother's current condition. Thinking of the possible outcome of Nier's meeting with Izumi Sakura, Kaede could only vaguely say a vague idea, indicating that Lancelot was collecting the three Japanese artifacts and might have gone to the land of Izumo.

"Izumo no Kuni? I think I've heard a foreigner named Xiao Fengjian mention that the most important strategic location in the whole of Japan is Izumo no Kuni. ”

Kaede doesn't quite understand, because from a strategic point of view, the most important place is naturally Kyoto, and there shouldn't be Izumo in the ranking of the rest of the places, why did Nier make this comment?

"Actually, I don't know, but the man is good-looking, and he can tick and tick, and he gave me a cloak, and I think I should be able to believe what he says. ”

Niel said: "However, the Magister is probably so strange that people can't understand what he says, I remember that he also said that there is a big snake in the country of Izumo, and what strange things like 'the big snake moves, and the cave opens', do you understand?"

Feng'er naturally didn't understand, and because of this, the two women didn't know that they had mastered the biggest secret of Izumo.
