So Qi Xuansu just got off the flying boat, and it hadn't been an hour since his feet landed, and he hurriedly boarded a "Ying Long".

"Yinglong" set sail and went straight to Omi.

The situation in Omi is quite complicated, and various forces are criss-crossed, and in the south is the famous Koga.

In the council chamber of "Yinglong", Ding Weilingguan introduced the situation in Omi: "In Fenglinzhou, in addition to the Iga ninja, there are also Koga ninjas. The so-called Koga Stream, generation and Iga have been the strongest ninjas in Fenglin Continent. In the early days, he served the princes near Heikyo, such as the Rokkaku clan, the Tsutsui clan, and the Hosokawa clan, and later submitted to the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, and in the most glorious decade of his career, he relied on the Koga of the Oda family to develop rapidly, and took advantage of the slaughter of Iga to dominate the ninja world for a time. However, this trend stalled when the Sixth Heavenly Demon King encountered the Honnoji Rebellion and the Oda family was torn apart, but with the accumulation of these ten years, Koga was still able to match the Iga Hattori family, which was loyal to the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"The Iga ninja emphasizes individual combat capabilities, while the Koga ninja emphasizes collective combat capabilities. Koga Ninja ???????????????? Loyal only to their lords, and the Iga ninja served the highest bidder, the Hattori family of Igara-ryu was called the 'Imperial Ninja', not because of loyalty, but because no one could bid higher than Toyotomi Prime Minister's. Koga has a unique collegiate mechanism called 'Guchu So', and matters big and small are decided by 'Gunaka', and the fifty-three land attendants who live in Koga are called Koga Fifty-three, and the most important of which are the twenty-one that has been granted a letter of affection by the Rokkaku family is called Koga Twenty-one. ”

Li Changge said: "It sounds a little similar to the Jinque Meeting, the so-called Jiahe Twenty-one is a real person, and the rest are ordinary real people. ”

Li Tiangang took over and said: "After the defeat of the Oda family, because Koga County is very close to Heikyo, the Koga ninja has regained allegiance to the imperial family, especially noteworthy that the Koga ninja is good at using drugs, so Xingying and the provincial government suspect that the previous regent Sekibai Toyotomi Hidetsugu and the previous chief old man Nakamasahiro were both poisoned by the Koga ninja, the purpose was to provoke the civil strife in the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion, and in fact it did cause the civil strife in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the death of Toyotomi Hidetsugu led to the infighting between the Toe faction and the Owari faction, The death of the former chief lieutenant only exacerbated this infighting. ”

Zhang Yuelu asked, "What is the attitude of Xingying and the Provincial Government towards Jiahe?" ”

Li Tiangang said: "If you want to defeat them, it's easy. It's hard to wipe them out completely. They usually use agriculture and commerce as a means of livelihood, and only when necessary, they are active on the battlefield as ninjas, which increases the difficulty of screening, and the best way is to support one faction to fight another, and use the obedient ninjas to deal with the ninjas who resist. However, the Iga Hattori ninjas who are loyal to the Prime Minister only obey the orders of the regent Sekihaku, and their attitude towards the Domen is unknown, so they can't help for the time being this time. ”

Zhang Yuelu nodded.

Ding Weiling said: "When you arrive in Omi, in addition to being careful of the Koga ninja, you must also guard against the forces of the Heavenly Gate, which can be respected as the so-called state religion, and is the mainstay of the 'Zun Sect', which should not be underestimated." Witchcraft and spells are prevalent in the Heavenly Gate, and it still retains quite a bit of its original appearance. ”

"Although Taoism and Buddhism are dominated by men, the ancient witchcraft is dominated by women, such as the famous eleven witches of ancient times, from Wuxian who leads the witchcraft to Wuyang who is free, all of them are women, and none of them are men. Celestial Gate still inherits this tradition and is called a shrine maiden, and the highest shrine maiden is revered as 'Saiwang' and can only be held by a woman of the imperial family. ”

Li Changge smiled: "Buddhism has an empty king, Confucianism has a Su king, and Tianmen has a Zhai king." ”

"But the witch is just a general term, similar to the Taoist priest of our Daomen, the master of the sect is a Taoist, and the Jiupin Taoist priest is also a Taoist, and it can't be generalized, which has to mention the position of Tianmen. Moreover, Tianmen is only dominated by women, not only women, but also many men. Li Tiangang added.

"Tianmen does not have a unified structure like our Daomen, except for the common worship of the emperor and the king of Zhai, it is a party of princes with each divine palace as the mainstay, similar to the Confucian gate with the three university palaces and the sage's mansion as the core in the past."

"Within the shrine of one side, the 'palace secretary' is the number one person, and generally serves as the 'god master' who is responsible for the sacrifice;

"And then???????????????? Later, there was 'Youyi', who was responsible for assisting the palace secretary and managing the lower clergy, similar to the chief secretary. Then there is 'Kwon Youyi', who is responsible for the affairs assigned by the two palace secretaries, focusing on daily living and socializing, similar to the second secretary. ”

Qi Xuansu understood, if the Heavenly Master is the "Palace Division", then "Youyi" is equivalent to Zhang Jicheng, and "Quan Youyi" is equivalent to Tang Jiaohua.

Li Tiangang continued: "Next are the Zhu Ministry, the Divine Officer, the Priestess, the Witch Maiden, and so on. The shrine is equivalent to our Taoist shrine, and there is also a shrine underneath, similar to our Taoist temple. The same is the palace division, the palace division of the shrine and the palace division of the shrine are naturally not the same rank. Our Dao Gate has nine grades and twelve levels, and the Heavenly Gate has five levels. ”

"Except for ordinary priests and shrine maidens who don't enter the stream, the direct rank is the lowest level, and in order to become the power of an ordinary shrine, you need to have at least a direct rank status."

"The right is the right rank, and the palace secretary of the ordinary village shrine must at least have the right to be the right rank. Kwon was unable to hold the position of palace secretary of the prefectural society. ”

"Positive rank, the palace secretary of the county society, as well as the county society and the other shrine, must at least have the status of the positive rank."

"Ming rank, if you want to become the palace secretary of another shrine or county society, you must become a Ming rank level. As long as it is a priest of this rank, he can become a palace priest of various types of gods. ”

"The net rank, the highest rank of the priesthood, the high-level of the Ise Shrine and the palace priests of the major shrines, are all of this level, similar to the hermit of the Confucian sect and the great sacrificial wine of the school palace."

"It's not surprising that the reason why Tianmen can get rid of the subordinate status of Buddhism is because it integrates the teachings of the Confucian school of science, and it can get the strong support of the royal family by relying on the banner of loyalty, so its structure has the shadow of Confucianism back then, the emperor is still the emperor, and King Zhai is equivalent to the head of Confucianism, and then it is ranked down in order according to the hermit, the great sacrificial wine of the school palace, and the ordinary sacrificial wine."

Qi Xuansu said with a smile: "The Heavenly Gate reminds me of the integration of the three religions, but compared to the integration of the three religions of our Dao Gate, the Heavenly Gate is more like the path of the 'Heavenly Court', and the names of the two are also very similar." ”

Li Tiangang's face was a little strange.

The "Heavenly Court" was single-handedly supported by Taiping Dao, which is not a secret among the high-level of the Li family.

Li Changge didn't care, but said: "If Tianmen only has the strength of 'Heavenly Court', then it couldn't be better." ”

Li Tiangang coughed lightly: "Toyotomi Hideshige lives in Hikone Castle, to the north is the Heavenly Gate Force Asahi Shrine located in Asai County, to the south is the Buddhist force Inshoji Temple in Gamo County, and then from the Ninshoji Temple to the southwest, is Koga County where the Koga ninja is located. The Omi Toyotomi family is actually similar to the vassal king who guarded the border fortress, and the bloodline is far away and far from the center, which is also one of the reasons why the elder Naoda from the Hikone clan did not recommend the Omi Toyotomi family. ”

Qi Xuansu looked at the map and sighed, "This is really a pack of wolves around." ”

"The good news is that since he is the king of Sai, he must be strong, which is also the reason why Naokai can become the elder, and now there is a new Yin Stream sword hero in Hikone City, and the safety of Toyotomi Hideshige should not be too much of a problem for the time being." Ding Weiling said, "Jianhao is a very high honor, and those who can become Jianhao are all amazing and brilliant people, probably equivalent to our pseudo-immortals, who have previously stabbed the palm army???????????????? The leader of the real assassins was a swordsman, who killed three of us spirit officials and a Taoist priest, and was stabbed by the real person in charge of the army, not only did not die, but escaped from Xiujing, and is still on the run. If it weren't for Toyotomi Hideshige's trip to Beijing, I would have been in charge of hunting down this Higishi Shiniwa-ryu swordsman named 'Katsura Zenyuki'. ”

"As for the bad news, this new Yin Stream Sword Hero wants to make sure that Hikone Castle is safe, so he can't leave Hikone City easily, once Toyotomi Hideshige leaves Hikone Castle, Swordsman will not accompany him, and all the responsibility will be on us."

Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu, and Li Changge looked solemn.

No one will doubt that several people will grow to the point of being on par with the sword master in the future, but at the moment, they can't be compared to a sword master, even if the three of them join forces. Qingwei Zhenren took this into account and sent Li Tiangang and Ding Weilingguan as helpers.

Having said that, cultivation is not enough, and foreign things come to make up. Putting aside the immortal things, the three of them carried more half-immortal objects than Qingwei real people, and Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu combined were equivalent to bringing an immortal object.

Now that the three of them have joined forces, one immeasurable stage innate immortal and two acquired immortals in the leisurely stage, with all kinds of half-immortals, there is no pressure on the celestial beings in the upper creation stage, and they will even have the upper hand. Coupled with Ding Weilingguan and Li Tiangang, they are comparable to pseudo-immortals.

But that doesn't mean you can rest easy.

Hikone Castle has been run by the Omi Toyotomi family for many years, and it is impregnable, not only with a sword lord in charge, but also many retainers, guards, onmyoji, samurai, etc., layer upon layer of protection, it is difficult to assassinate Toyotomi Hideshige in Hikone Castle. But after leaving Hikone Castle, he lost these shelters, and the danger level increased greatly.

Although the Daomen side sent four hundred spirit officers, they were mainly responsible for the normal operation and flight of the "Ying Long" and would not participate in the battle. Even if Toyotomi Hideshige would bring some guards, it would still not be comparable to being in the castle. This is not only the difficulty they have to face, but also the reason why the Daomen sent "Ying Long".

"Ying Long" is like a fortress, if all the portals are closed, it will be difficult for outsiders to enter it, and all assassinations will turn into frontal attacks.
