Chapter 36: A Preliminary Look
Out of the palace, Zhao Ta looked at the night, but it was the stars and the moon, the sky was like a dome, the breeze was slow, and the heating was drunk.
He said: "There are several nullahs in the Guanyin Courtyard on the side of the old Song Gate, which are still lively during the day, but at night because the Zen Temple is closed, but it is very quiet, and go there to see if there is a gap to enter." ”
Huang Gu Jian nodded in plain clothes, the three of them did not ride horses, they always had martial arts on their bodies, they didn't know how to work on the road, and it took more than half an hour to come to this place.
This is the inner city of Tokyo to the east slightly south, on the far left is the first sweet water lane, there are pastry shops, there are also a lot of brothels hanging Yihong Building, small peach pavilion, full hall of spring brand, these brothels are not high, often a few taels of silver can sleep overnight, the north is the temple, the south has the audit court.
There are many temples and temples in and around Tokyo, and many of them are large-scale, and this Kannon-in Temple is not the largest, but it also has some historical allusions.
This courtyard was built in the five generations after the Han Dynasty Qianyou period, the founder of the mountain is the great virtue of the great virtue of the later generations of the severe master, this dynasty Taizu Emperor thanked the master Zongfeng Fude, once changed the name to Guanyin Ancient Temple, and because the pavilion is dedicated to the white-clothed Guanyin, the people of Tokyo are also happy to call the white-clothed pavilion.
The three of them inserted it in the oblique thorn at the south gate of the Taimiao, but they saw a big temple, that is, by the moonlight outside the courtyard, it was also faintly visible that the inner roof ridge was like a beast, the pagoda was towering, and the mountain guard Jialan King Kong showed a huge head from the wall, staring at this world with cold eyes.
Zhao Ta said: "I came to play two years ago, and I remember that there are nullah entrances not far from three sides of this Guanyin Temple, and look for it." ”
Sure enough, after a while, I heard Huang Gu say: "Son, there is an opening here in the east!" ”
Zhao Ta walked over to take a look, it turned out that this Guanyin Temple only had the front and back doors, I don't know why the side doors were not repaired, not far from the east wall, there is a nullah, but it is a common eight-character water outlet.
This kind of eight-character water outlet is unique to this dynasty, and it is very beneficial for the rainwater to flow into the canal, and most of the canal entrances in Tokyo City are in this form.
The mouth is not big, and you can get into it if you are a little thinner, but just looking at the black hole in front of you makes people feel intimidated.
Huang Gu lowered his body, touched the entrance with his palm, and said, "Childe, the stone moss is smooth, smooth and without mottled marks, it should be a long-term pass." ”
Zhao Ta nodded, looked left and right, he didn't think that this action was hasty and reckless, but he was not familiar with the underground world, so it was inevitable that he would have to be cautious.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Su Yi stayed outside to keep an eye on the movement, and Huang Gu and I went down to investigate." ”
Jian Suyi's beautiful eyes flashed when she heard this, and she was about to say something to stop her, but she heard the sound of "pop, pop" in the canal at the entrance of the eight characters.
Huang Gu narrowed his eyes for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Childe, it's the sound of people running." ”
Zhao said: "And hide and watch." ”
The three of them hid behind an old locust tree nearby, and after a while, they crawled out of the mouth of the ditch.
This man was wearing a pair of leather and light armor, and a single knife was tied with red cloth on the palm of his hand, and he was covered in blood, and as soon as he came out, he lay on the ground, panting heavily.
Looking at the single knife and light armor style, Zhao Tan couldn't help frowning, and Huang Gu whispered: "It's all the standard of the forbidden army." ”
Jian Suyi said: "Now that the artifacts in the army are also circulating, this person doesn't know where he came from, and he can't be easily determined." ”
Zhao Ta was silent, and saw that the man got up with all his strength, but he staggered and shook three times, where could he walk.
At this time, there was movement again at the mouth of the eight-character water, and in a blink of an eye, a person burst out, but this was a man dressed in black, holding a three-foot-long iron hook in his hand.
The hook is made in the shape of an iron rod, but the hook head is like a snowflake with blades inside and out, which can split and hook, and the three of them looked carefully, and at the hook head, there were still a few pieces of red minced meat hanging from it.
Jian Suyi immediately whispered: "Childe, it is the person of the Ghost Fan Tower, and the hook is a unique weapon in this underground, suitable for fighting in the ditch, and seven or eight out of ten of the villains in it use this kind of trick, and it is called the Ghost King Hook." ”
Zhao Ta nodded: "Don't let the person in light armor die." ”
As he spoke, several more people jumped out of the ditch, all dressed in the same way as the man in black, carrying the ghost king's hook in their hands, and without saying a word, they rushed straight towards the man in light armor.
Seeing this, the lightly armored wounded took a step forward, but almost fell down, so he had to use the steel knife to support the ground, but there was no more blade to resist.
Seeing that several ghost king hooks were beckoning to the lightly armored wounded, once they fell, they were afraid that they would be hooked into a pile of rotten meat.
At this moment, a puff of light flashed behind the big locust tree, but several hidden weapons came out together, and the hidden weapons were mostly iron thistles, iron lotus seeds, iron shuttles, as well as flying knives, darts, and copper coins that thinned the edges.
These things all hit the black-clothed people, except for the first to come out, the rest obviously didn't have any fists and feet, just with their fierce spirit, but where could they avoid this sneak attack in the shadows, they were all beaten down like hedgehogs, only the leading man, who seemed to have a bit of martial arts, but he also took a few hits, jumped out of the circle and ran towards the mouth of the nullah.
Behind the locust tree, Huang Gu jumped out, the speed was faster than this man, he stretched out his hand at the mouth of the eight-character water mouth, and pulled the man out, the man opened his mouth, as if to call someone, he had already been cut in the back of the head with a knife and fell unconscious, and then Huang Gu dragged the man to the back of the locust tree like a big mouse.
On that side, the lightly armored wounded were waiting to die, seeing the mutation on the field, it was inevitable that he would be lucky in his heart, and he was about to cry out for the pity of the sky, but how could the many hidden weapons be long-eyed, there was a small flying knife drilled into the arm, and there was a copper coin dart that was sharpened around the leg embedded, his eyes widened, and he was just about to scold two sentences of thieves and birds, when he saw a beautiful little lady like a fairy coming to the front.
Xiao Niang had a cold face, looked at the two hidden weapons that were injured by mistake, and whispered: "But it's sloppy!" ”
Hearing this, the lightly armored man's face twitched a few times, and finally he couldn't hold back any longer, and fell to the ground with a "poof" sound......
It was already midnight when Zhao Ta and the others returned to the Broken Jade Building, and it would not have taken so much time according to the footsteps of the three of them, but on the way to take the lightly armored wounded, escort the man in black, and encounter the interrogation of the patrol forbidden army, which was delayed for a long time.
knocked on the door of the broken jade building, Ouyang Bei answered from the inside, inserted the deadbolt, and Zhao Ta ordered the two of them to be taken underground.
There is another floor below the broken jade building, which is the underground secret room dug later, but at this time, it is lit with fire candles, shining as bright as day.
Zhao Ta ordered someone to tie up the man in black, and then bandaged the lightly armored wounded, the injured person originally only relied on a little mental support, and finally hit two hidden weapons, his heart collapsed, and he was also unconscious.
Huang Gu checked up and down, and said, "Childe, this person has no long things, and he doesn't have a waist card type token to carry." ”
Zhao Ta nodded, looked at the injured man carefully, and saw that he was born with a lofty spirit, but he was chased and killed by Ghost Fan Lou for some reason.
After another moment, the injured man woke up slowly, looked around, smelled the golden sores on his body, and knew the cause and effect, he struggled to get up, and said in a trembling voice: "Xu Ning thank you for saving your life!" ”
