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

"Big snake, big snake ┅┅ This little Japan, there are really a lot of ridiculous things, is there really a big snake here?"

Looking at the information in his hand, Lancelot's doubts became more and more intense, he had guessed what the word big snake represented, but from the information gathered, it seemed that this big snake might be a real snake.

The Bai family has been lurking in Japan for many years, and although the intelligence collection is a mess, and no high-level secrets can be mastered, they still have a good understanding of various folklore, which comes in handy at this time.

"If you want to investigate folklore, it would be nice to ask a folklorist to be in charge, so why spend money to set up an intelligence system?"

When contacted, Bai Wuji once felt angry about this matter, and almost couldn't get off the stage before his brother-in-law, however, at least in the investigation of the relevant information of the "Big Snake", the children of the family did not hand over the white scroll.

Thousands of years ago, it was here that the ancient kingdom of Yamadai was founded, which opened the beginning of Japanese culture, and before the collapse of the kingdom, there were countless excellent priests and magisters who held various ceremonies in this place, leaving ruins everywhere, and some of the spiritual fields that had performed large-scale spells could still feel the fluctuations of spiritual power.

"So, this is similar to Renes, a country governed by the power of religion┅┅"

Lancelot is not too surprised, because in the ancient era of the people of Encelo, the rule of religion was a fairly stable and good way, and even today, Reinz still adopts a theocratic system, and manages the people of the country in a two-pronged manner. What really intrigued him was the myth of Izumo.

In addition to the countless ruins of ancient spiritual fields of various sizes, the Izumo no Kuni is also geographically specific, and it has always been the birthplace of many stories of gods and monsters, and there is also a famous place: the Yellow Spring Hirapo.

In Japanese mythology, this place is regarded as the connection point between the human world and the underworld, and during the ancient kingdom of Yamadai, people could use this place to enter the afterworld, and the ghosts of the underworld could also return to the world through this place.

"Is there really such a place?"

"Yes, there is, but now it has no other purpose except as a tourist attraction, and the exact location is not clear, so I can only give a rough name about the range, and people are in that range, hanging on the relics of the past. ”

"Is sightseeing? So in ancient times, was Birapo really a place that connected the human world with the underworld?"

Bai Wuji said: "It's not very clear, but thousands of years ago, the Demon Guild had an exchange with the ancient country of Yamatai, and the Magister of both sides had talks and studies, and from the records, it seems that the Japanese Magister did use Hira Po to summon Yin Spirits and other spells. ”

"Yin Spirit? I don't think it's just that dealing with demons and summoning monsters to the world for them to drive is true. ”

While listening to Bai Wuji's story, Lancelot already had doubts in his heart. After I arrived in Japan, I encountered many things related to the demon race one after another. Needless to say, Hante, a working demon, Oda Xiang's little banshee is a demon origin, and Dolgon and Hua Tianevil also look like they are all demonic, and I heard Feng'er say that Oda Nobunaga, Oda's real father, is also a demon who came to the world from the demon world.

Since the Kyushu War, the realm passages between the human world and the demon world have been killed one by one, and there is almost no other exit except for Alcatraz Island, why does this little Japan become like a demon base camp, and meet demons everywhere?

When I was in Kyoto, I had speculated that Japan was isolated overseas, and there was no communication with the local news of the Wind Continent, even if there were one or two unknown realm passages, it would not be surprising, if the demons came to the world through these exits, then it would be normal for the demons to crawl everywhere in Japan. And now it sounds like Biliangpo does exist, but it is not the human world and the underworld that are connected, but a passage that connects the two worlds of man and demon like Alcatraz Island.

"Well, it's not impossible, I don't have much information on hand, I can't be sure, but according to records, the ancient kingdom of Yamatai was originally built by relying on the magic master to drive away ghosts and gods, build the country, and at the same time defeat the surrounding barbarians on the battlefield and stabilize the Quartet. If the ghosts and gods they drive are demons, that's reasonable. ”

Bai Wuji said: "However, the legend of your big snake also happened in Biliangpo. ”

"What do you mean?"

"From the information I have at hand, it seems that Hirapo is the only place in Izumo no Kuni where there is a record of a giant snake. After the collapse of the ancient kingdom of Yamatai, the exact location of Hirappo was also annihilated, but a large number of giant snakes once appeared nearby, harassing the place, and the people could not resist, and finally obeyed the method of the magister, and selected a girl called Qi Rice Field to sacrifice to the snake god, in exchange for the peace of the place, and then once a year, for the next thousand years, this sacrifice was maintained, but as of now, I don't know. “

"It's ridiculous, if you want to let the snake sleep peacefully, why do you want to dedicate the girl to the snake god? If there is a beautiful girl who lets me do whatever I want, I don't mind helping them kill the snake. ”

Lancelot joked like this, he already knew in his heart, what kind of snake god was probably also a monster, if the speculation of the realm tunnel was true, the demon snake from the demon world was indeed not something that ordinary magic masters could deal with, and it might even be a demon with a snake-like body, then it was no wonder that it could be powerful in Japan, and no one could control it.

However, no matter how strong this demon is, it is estimated that it is a small heaven at most. Reynes's record of the Kyushu War, vaguely mentioned that even if it is the head of the demon clan, there are not many who have risen to the strong heavenly position, since this snake-shaped demon is not the Great Demon God King, his cultivation must be limited, and if he really has a strong heavenly cultivation, he will take the opportunity to fight with him, increase his experience, and he can't always pick soft persimmons to eat?

The only thing to worry about is that Dolgon suddenly appears and joins forces with him, then he will definitely be defeated. Or, does Dolgon want to fight with this demon master to defeat both sides, and then pick up the bargain?

Wait, only through the test of the big snake can you get the Tiancong Cloud Sword, does this mean that the demon demon has a divine sword in his hand? If the divine sword really has unimaginable power and promotes cultivation, then wouldn't it be dangerous to fight recklessly? .

A few thoughts crossed Lancelot's mind, which made him more worried, however, the information in front of him was completely insufficient, and he couldn't make a judgment without going to explore it himself, so he had to actually go to the Billangpo ruins to investigate.

"Second brother-in-law, there is one thing I am very concerned about. Ever since we arrived in Japan, we've been haunted by that crazy woman, and although it's not actually lethal, it's really annoying, and the pig's head on my neck hasn't been settled yet, and we don't know anything about the other party's origins. ”

Lancelot said, "Yuxue told me that he had heard those women claim to be the Queen Mother of the West. I don't know if this matter is true or not, Reyns has always had a relationship with the Queen Mother of the West, in your opinion, what is this matter?"

Bai Wuji frowned and said: "According to the records, the Kunlun Mountain where they are located is located in the extreme west of the earth, according to this calculation, it is either in martial arts or in Al Tieno, what does it have to do with Japan? If the Western Queen Mother Clan runs to Japan, won't it become the Eastern Queen Mother Clan?"

"No, you don't have a relationship with the Queen Mother of the West, why don't you even know the exact location of the family?"

"During the Kyushu War, the West Queen Mother family was once in decline because the clan leader died in battle, and the people were wary of the outside world and refused to leak the detailed location of Kunlun Mountain, and the Reins royal family and our family slowly merged into one, and it was smuggling and drug trafficking. ”

Bai Wuji said: "When the little sister succeeded to the queen's throne, the Queen Mother of the West was very polite, and she didn't even congratulate her, it seems that she thinks that Reines is finished from now on, and now the country is passed on to you, hehe┅┅"

Needless to ask, Lancelot also knew what these two hehes meant, and said, "Then in the whole of Reins, there is not half of the people who know the affairs of the Western Queen Mother?"

"If you want to ask, Teacher Mei Lin probably knows that hundreds of years ago, the Queen Mother of the West had something to deal with, and asked Teacher Mei Lin to take action, and the two sides had a friendship at that time┅┅"

Bai Wuji said this, a very strange bitter smile suddenly appeared on his face, Lancelot was surprised, but intuitively, he told himself not to ask too much about this, so he just turned a blind eye.

"You are now in Japan in the far east, I can't figure out why you have anything to do with the Western Queen Mother Clan in the Far West, but if the enemy is really them, then you have to be prepared yourself, the West Queen Mother Clan has a high level of magic, and the spells cast by them cannot be easily unsolved by our side. ”

Bai Wuji said: "The ghost woman's potion will stimulate the effect of the curse on your body, although I don't know what the side effects of the stimulation are, but it is definitely not a good thing, if you can't lift the curse in the near future, I'm afraid you will never have a chance to solve the curse." ”

"Got it┅┅"

"Hurry up and solve the work in Japan and come back, the Knights of the Blue Moon are halfway through the preparation, and the leader is not there, so it will be difficult for us to deal with it." You don't have much time left ┅┅"

"Got it┅┅"

"It's strange to know, Altino has been doing a lot of things lately, maybe he will take practical actions, if you are still stuck in Japan and can't come back, then it will be a two-front battle, and it will be a great loss for us. ”

A mass grave on the outskirts of Kyoto is home to hundreds of murderous bodies. Proportionally speaking, most of them were prisoners who were beheaded at the execution site and had no relatives to collect their bodies, or the deceased who had committed a murder and no one knew their identities were brought here to be disposed of and buried indiscriminately. Occasionally, someone died in a brothel gambling house in Kyoto, and the corpse would be brought here to be discarded so as not to alarm the government.

Of course, such a place is so miserable and ghostly after nightfall that the people of Kyoto regard it as a forbidden place, and no one dares to come except for those who come to bury the corpses at noon.

However, there was still one visitor who reluctantly visited the place in the middle of the night.

"It's disgusting, it's been almost twenty years, and this place hasn't changed at all, it's littered everywhere, it's not of any standard at all. ”

Remembering that night nearly twenty years ago, Gengoro felt the urge to gag, shook his head and sighed, and slowly walked on the cemetery. Naturally, there is no difference between walkways and graves here, even if they are nameless corpses, no one will help them erect a monument here to collect the burial, just dig a pit and bury it.

The wind was blowing coldly, and the screams and cries of the resentful spirits could be heard in his ears, and Gengoro sighed, his magic had become an obstacle at such a time, and if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have heard these piercing ghosts crying at all.

With a flick of two fingers, four white rays of light swirled around them, lighting up the surrounding environment, and at the same time, slightly soothing the uneasiness of the resentful spirit, making the crying voice gradually lower and lower.

"I'm sorry, I'm not good at the transcendence work, so I'll have a local monk do it another day, and you guys will be able to sleep peacefully. ”

Gengoro whispered, and began the main purpose of the trip. Reciting the spell in his mouth, he waved his right hand forward, and an invisible spiritual wave quickly swept through the entire mass grave, and then, there was a slight light in a certain place, which was the reaction of a sorcerer who had also practiced light magic, and his corpse was stimulated by the spell.

"Alas┅┅Fortunately, no one saw it, and tomb robbing is really disgraceful. ”

Based on the argument that the capable work harder, even if you don't like it, you have to do it, Gengoro went to the edge of the land, silently confessed to the soul inside, grabbed the palm of his hand, and cast a spell in the air.

Qinglou has been cut off from Kunlun Mountain for a while, and the information he can get is limited, although he has made a lot of speculations about the current situation, but after all, there is a lack of actual evidence to prove it, in order to further grasp the situation, he can only come here to investigate.

According to Qinglou's information, when the Baijia Post House was attacked last time, the other party also had the deceased left, because the identity was unknown, so he was thrown to the mass grave, from this corpse, he could get the required information, but this soul reading spell was originally to insert five fingers into the corpse's head to cast, because Luo U disaster v magic cultivation is strong enough, so you don't need to break the cemetery, cast spells in the air.

"Hmm┅┅ "If you can't even cure this demon fetus with the Five Extremes Heavenly Style, you have to use the Heavenly Cloud Sword to have a way to destroy the demon who can't even destroy the Five Extremes Heavenly Style", such a rotten reason can be said? If the monkey is really killed, what reason will you have to deceive the old woman's sword? Destroy you, the holiday sage?".

From the memories in the corpse's mind, Gengoro understood the interrelationship of the current enemies, and also roughly had a precedence in dealing with them.

"Hmm, the Yin Qi in the cemetery is much lighter than expected, is there any sorcerer who has been absorbing a lot of Yin Spirits here recently?"

Puzzled by this discovery, Gengoro changed direction and began to search for Niel's whereabouts, also surprised by his discovery.

"Still in Kyoto, why? Is Amakusa's road idiot contagious?"

Amakusa Shiro's road idiot is the result of signing a contract with the dark god on the condition of his own physical youth. This matter has been widely spread around the world after the battle between the two powerhouses of the North Gate Tianguan, and of course this will not be the case for Nier and Feng'er.

They should have been heading for the country of Izumo a long time ago, and the reason why they still stayed near Kyoto was all due to the deliberate actions of Luo U he.

Originally, Nier walked with Feng'er, and explained to her on the way, including how she got here and how she got this cloak.

Hearing that Li Yu had returned from overseas, Feng'er was surprised, and she couldn't imagine that he had defeated Amakusa Shiro so easily, and the martial arts were so high, I am afraid that it was not just a strong heavenly position?

Thinking about it this way, it is no wonder that when Amakusa Shiro appeared in prison that day, his face was full of embarrassment, it turned out that he had been defeated miserably in the hands of Li Yu, no wonder his face was so ugly, and he was injured.

The memory of the day when he narrowly escaped under his hands is still chilling to think about, if he is facing each other, I am afraid that Lord Lancelot may not be able to deal with it, he was defeated under Li Yu's sword and had to lurk for a period of time, which is really good news.

"I don't really like that silver-haired weirdo's lifeless appearance. "Completely forgetting the kindness of other people's heroes to save beauty, Nier unceremoniously criticized the life-saving benefactor, "He seemed to be surprised when he learned about my relationship with my brother, it turned out that this guy didn't plan to help me at all, he just recognized Amakusa and found a reason to provoke him, which is really annoying." ”

Feng'er didn't understand the significance of such a provocation, but maybe all masters had this kind of problem, and when they saw the enemy, they wanted to try their skills, and they were stronger and weaker than one another? Judging from the results, it should not be a problem to challenge land tours.

"Although he helped me, however, I sympathize with Amakusa, and I think he must be very uncomfortable when he leaves lonely like that?"

As you can imagine, after a fiasco, after a fiasco, shocked by the power of the opponent's sword, knowing that you are invincible, you can only turn around and leave, for a warrior like Amakusa Shiro, it must be a shame that is more sad than death. Not only did he lose to his master, but even his apprentice couldn't win, and the blow was so great that he couldn't help but want to sigh for him.

If Amakusa knew that after he left, Li Yu was also seriously injured with blood spraying, would he feel better? Probably not, because like a defeated dog, he had to leave with his tail between his legs, which is a 100% fact, even if he knew that this was the result of losing both sides, it would not make him feel better, and it was also thanks to him that he was so well cultivated, and after returning to Kyoto, he could still put on a smiling face and talk to himself with a pleasant face for most of the day.

However, when he turned around and walked out of the cell, that back was very desolate when he recalled it.

"Later, they also asked about the robbery of the merchant ships of the Flame Continent, and I said that I didn't know anything, but I could help with the investigation, so I got over first, and they were polite to me, saying that they had something to ask me, and then they gave me this cloak. ”

It sounds like this distant guest is quite generous, and it is such a good thing to sell it at once. Being able to evade the tracking of the Heavenly Heart Consciousness is not yet possible on the current Wind Continent, if this is a part of the magical civilization of the Flame Continent, then it will be of great benefit to you to bring it back to Miss Xiaocao for research.

"Miss Nill just said that they have something entrusted to the milk, I don't know what it is?"

"Secret. I don't want to tell the milk. ”

Nier's unfriendly attitude was very clear, and Feng'er could only sigh secretly, although she wanted to maintain a good relationship with this young lady, but because she understood the other party, she couldn't think about it for a while.

Asked where Li Yu went, Nier couldn't tell clearly, because the other party didn't indicate where he was going, but only said that he would take a stroll around the neighborhood and meet an old friend, and when things came to fruition, he would continue his overseas trip.

"Huh, won't Li Jianxian return to the Wind Continent?"

"It seems that he has no such plan, he said, he still has something to do, and in a few months there will be a battle with people on the Flame Continent, and no matter what, he must have a conclusion first, and then he can come back. ”

Feng'er secretly screamed that it was a pity, listening to Nier's description, with Li Yu's current martial arts, if he could become his own help, it would not be difficult to overpower Eltino in the short term. After all, if you use troops against Altino, even if the war goes well, but when Lu You intervenes, and his own side is invincible, it is meaningless, if he gets such a strong reinforcement, he no longer needs to be afraid of Lu You, and he can rest assured that he will develop a hegemony.

Seeing through Feng'er's thoughts, Nier shook her head and said, "It's not that simple, I think that guy has a very strange temper, although he has a friendship with my brother, but he may not become a person on our side, if he comes back to help the enemy deal with us, it will be really unbearable." ”

There is quite a bit of truth, because Luo U^ thought about this man's moody style when he tried the world with a sword, and he was not too sure whether he could be drawn to his side.

"Don't think about useless things, you can't fight a war without relying on yourself, if you think about relying on outsiders all day long, there will be no good results in the end. ”

It seems to be the result of that period of military power training, Nier's tone does sound like a female general, but as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately frowned and said, "Where is the direction of Izumo no Kuni?" Why do I feel like my milk is taking me around ***?"

"Miss Nill wants to see her brother sooner, and I want to see Lord Lancelot, why should I take you around?"

It's not strange. Although Kaede also wants to meet with Lancelot as soon as possible, if you bring Nile with you, you will inevitably run into Izumi Sakura, and when things get out of hand, it will ruin Lancelot and Izumi Sakura's hard-won opportunity to repair, so she has to take advantage of Nier's weakness of not understanding Japanese and take her to wander around Kyoto.

But this is an extremely unwise approach, because after leaving Kyoto City, Niel put away her cloak and relied only on her own cultivation to hide her breath. According to estimates, this should be able to evade the enemy's Celestial Heart Scan, but Nier did not estimate that Feng'er, who has lost the power of the Heavenly Position, does not have the ability to evade the long-distance soul tracking of the Heavenly Rank master.

And so the worst happened. First of all, Nier screamed, and the cloak that she was holding in her hand suddenly burst into flames, and it burned violently, and the speed was too fast, and in a few efforts, this strange treasure turned into a strange treasure, and an enemy figure appeared in front of her.

"Oh!

Wearing a black ninja suit when a ninja acts, Oda Xiang has a knife around her waist, and a white silk tied her long hair, just in front of her. Without the cover of a heavy kimono, her body is even more petite, like a snowy face, completely invisible to blood, slightly sickly haggard, but instead presents a kind of transcendent beauty, like a light ghost, from the Yellow Spring, blocking the way of the two.

Although she hadn't personally learned the other party's methods, she knew that her brother had suffered defeat at her hands, and Nier would not be careless that Elius could easily defeat the other party, and her first reaction was to narrow the distance, and what she thought about was how to lead people to escape for their lives.

If you count it in terms of friendship, Nier and Sojiro have also had a relationship, however, she has never seen the transformation of Oda Xiang and Sojiro, and emotionally, she treats this as two people very directly. If she was facing Sojiro now, she might be confused, but instead of a Oda Ka with a cold expression, she thought about everything calmly in her head.

(She has a strong heavenly position?Even if she is not as powerful as Ye UY, half of Ye UY always has it, so I don't want to fight this kind of monster┅┅)

She didn't have the idea of fighting the enemy to the death, and looking at the girl in front of her who had changed into a black ninja suit, Nile only thought about how to escape the other party's tracking.

"Princess Xiang┅┅"

Unlike Nier, Kaede took the initiative to take a step forward. Oda incense's Jiuyao is extremely fast, and what kind of speed it will be, I have learned many times. If you can't use the power of the heavenly position, you will definitely not be able to escape, but it is better to cover Nier's escape, and there is still a chance. Besides, talking face-to-face with Oda incense was originally an opportunity for myself to strive for┅┅

However, Oda Kata turned a blind eye to Kaede's existence, stared at Nier, put her hand on the hilt of the knife at her waist, and said coldly, "Is milk an enemy?"

Suddenly asked like this, Nier couldn't react, and replied directly, "Who is friends with Milk? Milk hurts my brother, and Milk and I swear to be inseparable." ”

Although this is true, but the answer is so fast, it loses the space for both sides to turn around, and almost as soon as Nier finished speaking, Oda Xiang has a move. The light and shadow flickered, and before Niel saw the other party's figure, she was already bullied by the enemy, slashing horizontally, and flashing sideways with the battle reaction in her busy schedule, but leaving a bloody mark on her arm.

(So fast!)

(Not true!)

Nier and Kaede were amazed at the same time. Facing Nyelle, who was attacking with the speed of the Nine Yao for the first time, she was surprised by the high speed of the enemy, but Kaede, who had fought with Oda Xiang several times, found that her speed was much slower than before.

(It shouldn't be the only one, this ┅┅ is at most twice as fast as me, her previous speed is not just like this┅┅)

The ripples of doubt grew as the battle progressed. Nier's talent in battle,It is indeed the best of the younger generation of heavenly masters,Whether it is reaction speed、Instant judgment,There is a performance that is not inferior to his brother,Although forced by Odaka's fast attack to not make a move,But with excellent reaction,In the opponent's attack and body, the moment of retreat or defense,Although there are dozens of small scars on the body,But for a while, it is still held steadily,Not defeated。

It's just that Kaede understands that if Oda Ka uses the speed when she fights with her, Nier doesn't even have time to react, and she will be knocked down with a move;

Why didn't Oda do this, and use this almost clumsy method of warfare to fight Niel?

Take a look again, and Feng'er, who was watching from the sidelines, found that Oda Xiang's speed was constantly decreasing, although it was still a fast attack, but he could already catch her movements with his eyes, and there was no more elusiveness that Jiuyao's extreme speed should have, and the reason for this was the trembling of Oda Xiang's body.

Originally, Oda Xiang was injured, although he still couldn't figure out the severity of her injuries and condition, but it should be very unsuitable for hands. In order to chase down the two of them, she hurriedly went out of Kyoto City, and specially changed into this tight-fitting ninja suit, if it weren't for the decline in strength, with her consistent style of not doing too much, she must have rushed out directly wearing that kimono.

While attacking, the small body couldn't stop trembling, as if it had to do its best to suppress the piercing cold in the body. Affected by this, Odaka's body is becoming more and more sluggish, and Nier can even come up with one or two attacks.

(What's the matter?Is that all??Such an opponent can't deal with it.,My brother is too embarrassed┅┅)

Nier rejoiced in her heart, but then calmed down, expecting that the other party must have something abnormal, and she couldn't play her due strength, so she could support herself, if her strength continued to weaken like this, then let alone maintain the situation, it was not impossible to even turn defeat into victory.

(It turned out that the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs┅┅Go, how did I compare myself to a dog┅┅)

The situation was in her favor, and Nier even began to think that this kid had burned her cloak and cut so many shallow knife marks on herself, and she would never have been able to give up with her, but if she was really Sojiro, then for everyone's sake as a friend, I would have forgiven her
