There is a shrine on the back hill outside the village, and when a flag was stationed nearby, he used to use the shrine as his residence and drove away all the shrine maidens and priests, so this shrine has been abandoned.

However, there was a fire in the shrine at this time, and a group of men broke down the floor of the shrine, split it into firewood, and built a bonfire, sitting around the fire, and talking and laughing loudly while roasting meat.

Looking at the outfits of these people, they all have some simple armor, although they are already in tatters, but they are obviously not as simple as ordinary bandits, but like deserters who have fallen into the grass.

People are afraid of the wicked, and the ghosts are also afraid of the wicked, and the murderous spirit is heavy, and ordinary ghosts also dare not get close.

As for the zombies, they are also not afraid, are they really the knives and guns in their hands decorations?

In the corner of the shrine there was a girl, who looked delicate, but her clothes were disheveled, showing some white skin, her hands and feet were trapped by ropes, and her mouth was gagged with rags, and she couldn't move.

The deserters ate the meat while glancing out of the corner of their eyes at the girl who looked like a lamb to the slaughter.

At this moment, a figure appeared outside the door.

The deserters immediately became alert and reached out to grab the weapons beside them,???????????????? Qi Qi looked out the door.

The figure walked into the shrine unhurriedly, and the firelight illuminated his face, which turned out to be an onmyoji.

Onmyoji looked around and smiled, "Travelers passing by, can you bake the fire together?" ”

The faces of these deserters were slightly solemn, and in the middle of the night, in the place where the hundred ghosts walked at night, an onmyoji suddenly appeared, no matter how you look at it, it is a little weird.

The deserter at the head stood up, carrying a wild knife in his hand, carrying it on his shoulder, and said loudly: "You go somewhere else, you are not welcome here." ”

The Onmyoji was none other than Qi Xuansu, and he ignored the leader of the deserters and said behind him, "Come and see if that's your friend." ”

The little witch girl holding the Kagura bell leaned out from behind Qi Xuansu, looked at the girl who was tied up, and nodded again and again, "It's her." ”

In an instant, the eyes of the deserters were fixed on the little witch's body, and the already hideous expression became more and more ugly, the bloodshot eyes seemed to bulge out of the sockets, and saliva flowed from the corners of the mouth.

"Yes." Qi Xuansu nodded, and directly raised his hand to shoot.

The leader of the deserters opened his eyes wide, and a deep bloody hole appeared in his forehead, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

If you talk about the experience of using firearms, Zhang Yuelu is not as good as Qi Xuansu. If it comes to the sneak attack technique of using the fire gun, Daomen Sanxiu may not be able to compare to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu didn't give others time to react at all, and opened the gun again and again.

Several other deserters fell to the ground instantly, all of them shot in the eyebrows, and they were exactly the same.

Because it is an ordinary projectile, the power is small, so it can be fired continuously. However, the "Dragon Handcuffs" and "Painted Dragon Handguns" are difficult to fire in bursts because they have to launch the extremely powerful "Dragon Eye" series.

There is also a kind of machine gun, which can be fired continuously and non-stop, and a single gun can achieve the effect of a rain of bullets.

However, there is still a big problem now, if it is fired continuously, the power of the projectile will become smaller, and the heavy armor of the man in black will not break the defense at all, just like tickling. As long as it is ridden close by the Xuanjia, it is a one-sided slaughter, so this kind of organ gun, which was formerly known as the "Thunderbolt", is not taken too seriously.

It was only at this time that the little witch somewhat understood what Qi Xuansu meant by "the way of the world has changed", it was indeed different. If you use a knife to kill, you may be in danger, bows and arrows and spells will also consume physical strength, but you can use firearms, just hook your fingers.

If it weren't for the help of this kind-hearted Onmyoji, she would have fallen into the hands of these bandits if she had come out of it alone.

This Onmyoji-sama is such a good person.

By the way, she forgot to ask for Onmyoji-sama's name.

Qi Xuansu put away the fire gun and took the initiative to explain: "I dare to walk outside alone, one is by relying on yin and yang, and the other is by relying on fire guns. Yin and Yang exorcism, fire to eliminate evil. ”

】

The little witch muttered, "I'm going to save up for a firebolt too, it's much better than a bow and arrow." No wonder those samurai lords said that the black-clothed people in the Central Plains were invincible, and it was really terrifying. ”

Qi Xuansu reminded: "Your friend is still tied up." ”

The little witch woke up like a dream and hurried to untie her friend.

After a while, the little witch led her friend over to thank her.

Qi Xuansu was a little impatient with this phoenix ???????????????? The custom of Linzhou, half of a sentence is thanks and apologies, waving his hand and saying, "Okay, we should go to the shrine." ”

Of course, Qi Xuansu can try to directly break through the blockade of Duoyu County, and there is a high probability that he will succeed, but the follow-up is very troublesome, which means that he can only hide his head and tail like a rat crossing the street, and he can't enter the city or show his face in front of people, so it makes no sense for him to disguise himself as a Harima Stream Onmyoji.

The key is that after the Ise Jingu was beaten by the Onmyoji of the Tsuchigomon, he was already on guard, and if there was a slight disturbance, he would make a move. This is the head of the three major shrines, and King Sai himself is in charge, and Qi Xuansu is doing this, but he doesn't dare to compete head-on with Ise Shrine, so it's better to mix it up than to break through.

There is a suspension bridge in the mountain behind the village, and after crossing the suspension bridge, it is the territory of Taga-gun, and then a hundred miles north of the mountain, there is Yoshida Castle, where the shrine of the little shrine is located.

Because the merchant's daughter was just an ordinary person, and she had been tied up for a long time, her hands and feet were incapacitated, and she had to be helped by the little witch to walk, Qi Xuansu couldn't show her cultivation, so she ran directly with the two of them, so the three of them walked very slowly, and by the time the three of them crossed the suspension bridge and went down the mountain, it was already dark.

At that moment, a huge shadow swept over the trio.

The little witch's face changed greatly: "It's 'Crane Boat'!" Hide! ”

After that, she plunged directly into the grass next to her, and Qi Xuansu and the merchant's daughter had no choice but to follow suit.

Speaking of "crane boat", Qi Xuansu is quite familiar, because this is a product of the Daomen, belonging to a small flying boat, similar to the crane flying high, plus the people in the Daomen also prefer the crane this bird, so it is named "Crane Boat".

The "Crane Boat" can usually only carry two or three people, and its main function, in addition to reconnaissance, is to launch the "Phoenix Eye" series and bomb ground targets from a high position. Because the "Crane Boat" is small in size, and its driving core is a dragon ball imitated by Daomen, which is congenitally defective and cannot fly long distances, so it will generally be carried on the "Ying Dragon", and after being transported to the designated place by the "Ying Dragon", it will take off from the deck of the "Ying Dragon", complete the task, and then return to the "Ying Dragon".

There has been no war in the Central Plains for a long time, and the "crane boat" rarely appears in front of the world, and many people have never seen it before hearing its name. But Fenglinzhou is different, the "crane boat" is dispatched in large numbers, against the army on the ground, just like the heavy cavalry facing the light infantry, it is a completely one-sided slaughter, Fenglinzhou's respectful faction has reached the point where it talks about the "crane boat" and changes color.

This is also the reason why the Prime Minister has never betrayed the Daomen, because Mu Qiang is engraved in his bones, and the strength of the Daomen is obvious to all, and the Toyotomi Prime Minister has always believed that as long as the Daomen personally launches an attack, everything will be fine.

In fact, it is. Qingwei Zhenren quickly cleared the inside and outside of Xiujing, under the combination of Xuanjia heavy riding and "crane boat", invincible, almost like a bamboo, the hearts of the people of Toyotomi Prime Minister quickly condensed.

Faith is the most precious thing.

To put it bluntly, why did Qingwei Zhenren directly designate the candidate for regent Guan Bai but did not object, that is, Daomen has not lost a series of wars in the near future, which has given Qingwei Zhenren great prestige and confidence.

To put it another way, why did the Zun faction have to carry out assassinations? In the final analysis, you can't beat the frontal battlefield, and you can only go sideways.

Now that Daomen has preliminarily mastered the sky of Fenglin Continent, he can attack at will and be invincible, but the ground army is seriously lacking and cannot be effectively occupied, so it is necessary to integrate the Toyotomi Prime Minister and recruit all kinds of local snake forces.

???????????????? Now it seems that the vanguard forces of the Domen have arrived in Ise, but they have not yet launched a full-scale attack, and they are mainly harassing.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Where are these 'crane boats' going?" ”

The little witch said with a palpitation: "It should be going to Jiuju City, where there are many samurai." These 'crane boats' were never aimed at the common people, but only at the castles of the daimyo and feudal lords, or the shrines affiliated with the shrines, but luckily we were in the woods, and if they saw me wearing a shrine maiden costume, they would definitely not let me go. ”

Qi Xuansu secretly said in his heart: Do you know how expensive the "Phoenix Eye" series is, do you know how much "Xuanhuang" consumes, how can it be aimed at you, a little witch with a confused brain, that is artillery to fight mosquitoes, and kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife.

While the two were talking, several more "crane boats" swept overhead.

Since the "Crane Boat" has arrived, it means that there will be a "Ying Dragon" not far away, this is not the "Ying Dragon" that has just met the threshold of 400 people, but the full "Ying Dragon", all kinds of formations are readily available, if the Divine Palace dispatches a master of heaven and man to intercept the "Crane Boat", it will become a live target for "Ying Long".

Qi Xuansu was a little glad that he didn't fly against the wind and didn't die in the hands of Ise Jingu, if he was killed by his own people, it would be too unjust. After all, he didn't have the Qingyun of the immortals, and he was hit by a shot head-on, even if he saw that the gods were not bad and the golden body of the Divine Dao, most of them would be torn apart, and the only one that could be preserved was probably the "Heart of the Immortal Stone".

The three of them waited for a while, but no more "crane boats" passed by, and then they came out of their hiding place and continued to Yoshida Castle.

There were no twists and turns along the way, and I didn't meet the "Crane Boat" again, but I just met a team of samurai affiliated with the shrine, but there was a little witch who came forward, but I didn't embarrass Qi Xuansu too much.

When Yoshida Castle was in the distance, the little witch suddenly remembered: "Onmyoji-sama, my name is Asai Bell, you can call me Ah Bell." I haven't asked for the name and surname of Onmyoji-sama yet. ”

"It turns out that you are still from a noble background." Qi Xuansu said, "I am from a civilian background, I don't have a surname, our ancestor of Harima Stream is called Daoman, you can call me Dao Chief." ”

Qi Xuansu played a careful thought, Dao Chang is the honorific title of Taoist priest, but the word "long" here pronounces the "long" sound of "long and short", not the "long" sound of "long and young".
