Chapter 10: Iga Ninja

Before the words fell, Qi Xuansu directly punched the elder.

The elder's whole body collapsed instantly, and a thin layer of smoke rippled around his body, as if it was leaking, and then turned into a thin human skin in clothes and fell to the ground.

Han Yongfeng hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the human skin and looked at it, his face changed greatly, this was not a leather film that had already been nitrated, nor was it artificial leather, but it had just been peeled off from the human body, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

This is also the reason why Qi Xuansu decided to make a move, he is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood.

At this moment, countless flying needles shot out like a puff of smoke and rain.

Qi Xuansu took a step forward, pushed with both palms, and a wall of qi appeared out of thin air, blocking all these flying needles.

Two more swords stabbed out from the ground, Qi Xuansu didn't look at it, stood on one foot, and then kicked out left and right, directly kicking the two swords from the middle.

Then he stomped on the ground again, and the huge house shook violently, and blood oozed from the ground under his feet.

Obviously, someone hid underground with the technique of earth escape just now, and was shocked to death by Qi Xuansu below, and even the time to dig a grave and bury it was saved.

See those who attack with hidden weapons??????????????? Qi Xuansu was so terrifying that he didn't dare to continue to entangle, a black shadow flashed and disappeared.

Qi Xuansu didn't chase after him, and ordered a few people: "Everyone check around and beware of traps." ”

The crowd answered, and dispersed.

Han Yongfeng went to the inner room, and after a while, he came back and reported: "Deputy hall master, there is a corpse in it, which has been completely skinned, and it is thought to be the owner of this human skin." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the human skin from earlier.

Lu Yuting checked the tea boiling on the hanging stove: "Deputy hall master, this tea is highly poisonous. This gang of would-be robbers is a bit scheming, playing with us to get away with it, first refusing our request, letting us go quickly, and then reluctantly agreeing, so that we relax our vigilance, subconsciously thinking that they will not have a problem, and one carelessly really wants to get into their way. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "It seems that their time is very rushed, if it weren't for the extremely subtle smell of blood, it would be difficult to say what the result would be." ”

Qian Daren sighed: "It is said that the Japanese are cunning and cruel, but when I see it today, it is true." ”

On the other side, Li Mingshan carefully picked up a flying needle, only to see that these flying needles were sharp at both ends, which were not the same as many hidden weapons in the Central Plains.

"Deputy Hall Master, please see." Li Mingshan raised the flying needle.

Qi Xuansu asked, "What does this flying needle say?" ”

Li Mingshan said: "In Fenglinzhou, the secret weapons that are out of hand are collectively called 'shuriken'. ”

Han Yongfeng sneered: "The Japanese really call everything a sword, obviously a knife, it has to be called a sword, and now the hidden weapon has also become a sword." There are swords everywhere, but there is not a real sword. ”

Li Mingshan continued: "This shuriken is divided into club-shaped shuriken and car sword. The club-shaped shuriken has a single-pointed one, commonly known as a flying needle, and a double-pointed one, called a thousand books. The car sword is the ninja dart as the saying goes, the Central Plains is generally called a meteor dart, there are multiple tips, generally there are eight shuriken, hexagonal shuriken, cross shuriken, triangular shuriken and swastika shuriken. ”

Qi Xuansu looked at the flying needle in Li Mingshan's hand and said, "In this way, this is the so-called Qianben." ”

Li Mingshan nodded and said: "The club-shaped shuriken is light to carry and simple to make, but it is difficult to use, and it takes a long time to practice before it can be used. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "To put it bluntly, this kind of thing called Qianben has some thresholds, not just anyone can use it, what do you think is the identity of these people?" ”

Li Mingshan was very sure: "Iga ninja." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "I've heard of ninjas, it seems to be a kind of professional secret agent, scout, and assassin. ”

"That's right. In Iga, there is a temple called 'Iga 49-in', which is the origin of the Iga ninja, and there are three major families, the Hattori clan, the Hyakji clan, and the Fujibayashi clan, which are collectively known as the Iga Kamishinobi family. Later, the Hattori clan left Iga and became a retainer of the Ashikaga shogun, and the Hyakchi clan took real power over Iga. Li Mingshan said.

"The earliest Iga ninja was actually a prince, before the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion, the Oda clan was the most powerful, and even the Toyotomi clan was also a retainer of the Oda clan, and the head of the Oda clan called himself the Sixth Heavenly Demon King. Enryakuji Temple, which had defeated Honganji Temple, was destroyed by this person, and the head of the Ichijo sect called him the 'enemy of the Buddha', and the head of the Oda clan called himself the Sixth Heavenly Demon King. ”

"When the Oda clan was prosperous, they built Maruyama Castle in Kobe and prepared to attack Iga, but they were repelled by the Iga ninja and burned down Maruyama Castle, and the following year, Oda ??????????????? The clan sent another 10,000 troops to attack Iga, losing more than half of them, which became known as the First Iga Ninja Rebellion. ”

Qi Xuansu interrupted: "Director Li, is this Kobe you talking about very close to Suzuka Mountain?" ”

"Yes, the two places are only separated by a county, and they are both within the territory of Ise Province." Li Mingshan Road.

Qi Xuansu nodded and motioned for Li Mingshan to continue.

Li Mingshan continued: "In the year after the First Iga Ninja Rebellion, the Oda clan solved the problem of Ishiyama Honganji, forced Honganji to retreat and compromise, and finally freed up his hands, and on the sixth day, the Demon King himself led an army of 40,000 to attack Iga, plus some people in Iga surrendered. In the end, except for the Hattori family, who had long since left Iga, the other two families perished, and only the last 2,000 or so people were left to surrender to the Oda clan. Today's Iga ninja is no longer an independent force, but is employed by the daimyo of the feudal lords, somewhat similar to our 'inns' in the Central Plains. There is also a group of ninjas under the command of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion, which belongs to the Hattori family forces. ”

Qi Xuansu nodded and didn't say much.

Naturally, the crowd could not stop here and continued on the road.

After walking a short distance, I passed a small river with a bridge over it.

Just as a few people were crossing the river, there were loud roars in the dense forest on the opposite bank, and fires and smoke were everywhere.

The people in the Daomen are all too familiar with this situation, and it is clear that someone is ambushing in the dense forest and attacking with firearms. They were not surprised by this, plus the injuries had recovered a lot, and they dodged one after another, Tang Yongshui even drew his handcuffs and took advantage of the situation to fight back.

Qi Xuansu didn't dodge, and let the projectile fall on him, as if King Kong was not bad.

This reminded Qi Xuansu that he had met the Marshal of Tianpeng of the "Heavenly Court" in Jinling Mansion, and the "Shenlong Handcuff" had no way to take him, and now he was much stronger than the original Marshal Tianpeng.

When the fire bolt rested for a while, Qi Xuansu shook his robe, and many projectiles fell to the ground.

Almost at the same time, more than ten black shadows jumped out of the water, attacking Qi Xuansu from all directions.

Qi Xuansu still didn't move, letting these people's knives slash at his body, not only could not hurt him at all, but was shattered inch by inch, he took advantage of the situation to punch, anyone who received his punch, on the surface, seemed to be safe and sound, but in fact, he was shocked to the ground, and fell to the ground and died in a blink of an eye.

In the past, Qi Xuansu had encountered too many masters, most of the realm cultivation was higher than him, and there were even big masters like King Liao, so it seemed that the word "not bad" did not match the truth, but the realm cultivation was not as good as his opponent met him, and he understood that in the face of the despair of seeing God is not bad, it is really the body of King Kong that is not bad.

For a long time, there was no sound of firecrackers.

It seems that those who are in ambush are also a little desperate.

Such an opponent should not have been dealt with by them.

Such a person should attack with a cannon, not a gun.

It is true that if it weren't for the destruction of the flying boat by the Yaqi Snake, Qi Xuansu and the others would not have appeared in this place at all.

They didn't move, but Qi Xuansu did.

Qi Xuansu's figure disappeared in a flash and disappeared into the dense forest.

A moment later, the roar of fire and thunder explosions and shouts of killing rang out in the dense forest, and soon fell silent again.

When Han Yongfeng, Lu Yuting and others rushed to the dense forest, in addition to the traces left by the explosion, only Qi Xuansu and the corpse were left.

Or Iga ninja.

It's not that Qi Xuansu doesn't care who sent these people,??????????????? It's just that the ninjas definitely won't say it, there are still some ways to say the word "forbearance", and Qi Xuansu is too lazy to bother with it.

He took a long gun in his hand and threw it to Tang Yongshui: "Master Tang, you are from Tianji Hall, take a look at this fire gun." ”

Tang Yongshui took the firecracker, checked it for a moment, and said: "The structure is simple, similar to the arquebus, and the ammunition is gunpowder and steel pellets, so it produces a very thick smoke, and it is not the firearm of the regular army, which is placed in our Central Plains, that is, the level of self-protection or bandits." ”

Speaking of this, Tang Yongshui said softly: "However, the smelting level is very high, almost comparable to our C-class workshop in Tianji Hall." ”

Qi Xuansu became interested and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Tang Yongshui said: "The most important part of the gun is actually the gun pipe, as long as the gun pipe is strong enough, it will not explode, as long as it does not explode, you can increase the charge." The greater the charge, the more powerful and the longer the range. If the material is not up to standard, and you want to increase the amount of charge, the caliber must be large, in order to avoid exploding, you can only increase the length of the gun tube to obtain a longer projectile acceleration time, or increase the thickness of the gun tube wall. If it continues to be superimposed, the gun will become a cannon. These long guns were of ordinary length, and they were made of ordinary gunpowder, but they could be shot from the dense forest to the bridge, thanks to the strength of the guns strong enough to fill a large amount of gunpowder. ”

Qi Xuansu nodded, thoughtful.

If you want to maintain the strength of the pipe, but also do not want to increase the length and thickness of the pipe, the requirements for the smelting level are naturally extremely high. Later, steel could no longer meet the conditions of the pipe. For example, Qi Xuansu's "Painted Dragon Handcuff", the volume is not large, the weight is amazing, in order not to blow up the chamber, the material used is no longer copper and iron, it is said to be a handcuff, but it is actually a hand cannon. However, because of the special materials, this kind of firearm cannot be installed on a large scale.

Qi Xuansu took the fire gun from Tang Yongshui's hand, and pinched a fingerprint with fingerprints on the gun pipe with the strength of a celestial martial artist: "This kind of smelting level is not something that a folk blacksmith can have, there must be a big force behind these people, which force do you think it will be?" ”

Lu Yuting said: "The Fenglinzhou Imperial Court or the Holy Court forces. We have allowed the merchant ships of the Holy Court to trade with Fenglin Continent, and those merchant ships may also bring this kind of technology. ”

Qi Xuansu sighed: "No matter what kind of possibility, it's not what we want to see. ”
