Chapter 63: Laughing at each other

Yesterday afternoon, he saw a large falcon, which hovered over Abe's house for a long time.

Suddenly, the big falcon barked at him three times, and the two short and one long screams immediately reminded him, "Isn't this the second brother's big falcon?"

He then responded with three whistles, two long and one short, and when Ji Shizang found a place to take refuge, the falcon circled for a moment before falling, just in time to knock him to the ground.

Jian Shizang took a closer look at the big falcon, and suddenly saw the blue and white fluff on the top of his head, and he no longer had any doubts in his heart, and hugged the big falcon happily: "The eldest brother and the second brother have finally written to me for so long, what instructions do you have this time?"

He has always been impetuous, although he has grown up with Kojiro and others, but at this moment, he feels very cordial when he sees the big falcon who is talented and talented in fog, and he still looks like he was as childish as before, so he still asked out knowing that the big falcon couldn't speak.

The great falcon is very spiritual, even if it can't speak, but it can understand what he says, and its wings flutter to the height of a person, leaking a pair of sharp talons.

A small wax-sealed scroll is tied to the talons of the eagle, which is exactly how the 'Sanada Ten Warriors' communicate with each other.

Jian Shizang took down the small scroll and touched the eagle's talon and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I have nothing to give you this relatively hard, and I will give you food when I go back to hunt two hares." ”

The falcon let out a soft whistle in response, and its wings shook up and down rapidly, showing great joy. It stretched out its mouth and pecked at the beeswax to reveal the scroll, and then fell to the ground waiting for the Ten Zang to reply.

The big Hayabusa was so big that it was half a head taller than Ji Shizang when it stood up.

He unfolded the scroll and studied it carefully, only to see that it was densely covered with tadpole-like words and oiled paper.

It took a long time to understand it, but the subtleties were incomprehensible.

He touched the sweat on his head and complained: "The eldest brother and the second brother are really, they don't know what level I am at on the tadpole text, how can I write so obscurely." But don't worry, I'll hide my figure first, and I'll reply to you in the middle of the night. ”

He followed the contents of the scroll to a dilapidated room, which was out of place with the others, as if no one had lived in it for decades.

Suddenly, the lights went out, which frightened him.

He hurriedly hid behind the corner of the wall to take a closer look, only to see an extremely handsome man walking straight over, like a marionette.

Looking at it through the moonlight, Ji Shizang was startled again, who else could that person be if it wasn't Sasaki Kojiro?

After a long time, he only heard the sound of kowtowing inside, and he dared to follow, but his soul was frightened by the scene in front of him.

I saw a skeleton charming and enchanting, dressed in snow-white clothes, holding a rusty iron sword and wiping it off his neck again and again.

The iron sword smeared on the neck bone made a sound, just like the requiem in the yellow spring. The skeleton wiped his neck once, and Kojiro's figure faded once. At this moment, he finally understood the full meaning of the tadpole text on the scroll, and he said to himself, "It turned out that I was asked to take advantage of this scene to recite this incantation. ”

He opened the scroll and recited the incantation word for word by moonlight, and suddenly a golden word "two" appeared in his hand.

After the task was completed, he retreated back the way he came, during which he encountered several youkai who were holding the night, but all because his 'stealth technique' was not discovered.

After a long time, he suddenly felt that his hands were hot, and he turned over his hand to see that the word "two" on the palm of his hand had suddenly changed to "three".

Ji Shizang was shocked, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as what was written on the scroll! Then he wrote down the news in tadpole script and handed it to the big falcon to take away.

He waited in place for a long time, and before he knew it, he fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already dark, and the falcon went and came back with another scroll.

This time the information seemed to be very anxious, and even the wax that sealed the scroll was hot.

The big falcon fanned up the Ji Shizang with one wing, untied the scroll on his leg, and threw it to the Ji Shizang after clamping the upper and lower beaks.

I saw that it was no longer a tadpole text, but a scribbled font by Takeda Shingen, with only one line of small characters written on it, and the book said: "Inoue Yui and Qin Yao left Abe's house in retreat at sunrise, and they were destroyed after reading." ”

Ken Shizo is a ninja, and orders are everything to him, even more important than life. He saw that the sun was about to rise above the ground and into the sky, and without thinking about it, he ran back to the house to find the two of them.

His steps were not fast, but he felt a little faster in his heart, and finally arrived at the room when the morning sun only leaked a little.

But what he didn't expect was that where else could he find Yui and Qin Yao in the room? He searched along the house one after another until the fish belly was white, and then he saw the two of them near Qishen Town.

Seeing that Kojiro and Sun Sheng were fighting with the six members of the Michimani family, he wanted to go up to help, but when he thought of the command on the scroll, he paused.

It was much later on the scroll, and he couldn't hold anything in his mind at the thought of the task, and he would only obey his master's orders like a tamed dog.

However, after all, he had lived and died with Qin Yao and Yui, and knew that at this moment, the two would never abandon Kojiro and Sun Sheng for their own bullshit tasks.

He thought about it for a while, and after thinking about it, he came up with a plan, and took advantage of the time when Kojiro and Sun Sheng were fighting, and used the 'doppelganger technique' to knock the two out and take them away.

At that time, there were not many people near Qijincho, and there were many dead branches, so he and the clone each fought one person and left the inner door of Abe's house after a while.

As soon as he stepped out of his front foot, he heard an amazing loud bang behind him, and said in his heart: "Lord Takeda is really like a god, it seems that the battle between the two of them must be fierce and extraordinary and cannot protect the two of them, so I will take them away and protect the two of them." ”

Unexpectedly, the scroll came from Toyotomi Hideyoshi and a monk in a Taoist robe, and even the Great Falcon was fake.

They just wanted to see how strong Kojiro was after Abe had Kiko Chongling through secret methods, so they took Qin Yao and Yui away so as not to affect his mind.

He and the doppelganger carried the two of them for a long distance, and finally found a cave near Abe's house and put the two in it.

At this moment, although his mission was completed, remorse gradually appeared in his heart, "How can I do this? They are friends who were born and died with me, how can I be so selfish and actually knock them out and take them away for my own mission? I should have advanced and retreated together with my little brother and Sun Sheng, but I didn't want to do a shrunken turtle for the sake of the mission, and the two sisters couldn't come to cheer in person." ”

If Kojiro and Sun Sheng knew about this, they would inevitably be angry with him, and he couldn't help but be scared when he thought about their angry faces.

Suddenly, he thought of a seemingly brilliant solution, he used the clone technique to make the clone hit the back of his neck with all his strength, and he fainted in the cave.

Everyone in the Abe family was guarding the door, because their pillar, their governor, was fainting and collapsing. The house is full of wells and a line of people who are crowding the house, and they are doing their best to save Abe Xiaosan.

Satobu and the other six people are now eager to crash to death on the pillar, they spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and they really can't imagine that Abe Xiaosan will go out of his way to save Hanako.

Compared with their brawl just now, Abe Xiaosan, who is lying on the collapse at the moment, is more open-minded, and the six of them keep knocking their heads to the ground to express their deep apologies.

Hanako said to Abe's grandson, "My grandson, there is something I can help with at this moment." ”

Abe's grandson was also very guilty at this time, he was not there when his own superintendent's life was hanging by a thread, and he was not even as good as two outsiders. He was thinking about how to explain to Abe Xiaosan at the moment, and naturally he didn't put the words of Michimani Hanako into his ears.

Hanako asked my grandson twice in succession and didn't answer, she said to herself: "It seems that our trouble must have offended the Abe family thoroughly, and it is normal for them to ignore it." Hey, Governor Abe's benevolence and righteousness are really very human, and I shouldn't think of him as bad as ordinary people. ”

He saluted Abe and my grandson, and Abe hurriedly stopped when he saw this: "No, you and I are both from the Onmyoji family, how can we be vassals?"

Hanako said: "Lord Abe, I don't know if it's wrong to come to Abe's house to challenge, not to mention that I will wipe out most of your Abe's family because of me and others." Moreover, my ancestor Ashiya Michiman and Abe Harumi have a master-apprentice division, and the courtesy of the subordinates should be shared. ”

Abe Xiaosanqiang squeezed a smile and said: "Don't worry too much about what happened hundreds of years ago, just help each other in the future." ”

Dao Manjing Hanako shook her head and replied: "There is no reason to regret what my Dao Manjing family said. It doesn't matter if the governor of the Abe family recognizes whether we belong to me or not, I just need to admit it. ”

After that, he went out of the house with six people and waited outside the door.

Abe's skill is so profound, at this moment he has regained some strength, sat up like my grandson and asked, "Do you think I look like a lost dog?"

Abe Xiaosan is in the prime of life and looks handsome, and his children have extremely high attainments in yin and yang, and he even sits in the position of the great yin and yang master.

But it's just such a person who is now full of loneliness, really wagging his tail and begging for mercy like a lost dog, all because of that woman.

My grandson naturally knows who that woman is, and he cares a lot about this woman, whether it is a person or a soul.

He replied, "Like! You're like a lost dog now!"

Abe Xiaosan smiled self-deprecatingly and asked, "I didn't expect you to still protect her for so many years, even if it costs your own life, you have to protect her spirit card." ”

My grandson said: "Yes, I also used the Life Burning Technique, in order to protect her spirit card. As he spoke, the remorse on his face was gone, and it seemed that as long as it was for that woman, even if the entire Abe family was lost, he would not waver in the slightest.

A look of envy appeared on Abe's face, thinking that when he was full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm, he would not give up everything for his sweetheart, but he has changed, but my grandson is still the same boy he was back then.

He beat his spirits, knelt on the ground, clasped my grandson's shoulders with both hands, and asked urgently: "Over the years, has there been a Xizi soul?"

His voice trembled, and his heart was already in his throat, expecting my grandson to give him an affirmative answer.

My grandson looked at his tired eyes full of enthusiastic anticipation, and turned his face away to wet his eyes.

Abe Xiaosan sat on the ground, his eyes were already red, and silence was better than sound at this time, and Abe's grandson did not answer, but it made him more desperate than saying it himself.

He let out a long sigh and said, "I don't blame you, but I thank you very much." If you hadn't even hidden it from me, Yukiko might have lost even a place to go after she died, and I had failed two infatuated people in my life. ”

Both of them are over the age of confusion, but at this moment, they are crying like children for a woman, and their heart-rending and earth-shaking cries have caused a reverie among outsiders.

A few young disciples thought that Abe Mistress was in trouble and almost rushed in, if it weren't for the four elders who more or less knew some inside information and pressed them down, Abe Mistress and my grandson's face would have been lost.

My grandson said, "Miss Tokugawa is virtuous and virtuous, and she doesn't care about that, but the people of their Tokugawa family can't tolerate Kiko. Even if she is dead, she wants to be a lonely ghost. ”

Abe Kosan said: "Yes, you told me the news of Kiko's death." I buried her in the 'Forest of Blood Mist' with my own hands, and in order to allow her to enter the door of Abe's house after her death, I also put the spirit tablet of the ancestor Abe Qingming on the grave to protect her. ”

"Actually, you buried a dummy, she has been in Abe's house, you won't blame me for hiding it from you for so many years. ”

Abe Kozo leaned his head on my grandson's shoulder and said, "What do I blame you, I always knew that it wasn't her, she didn't want to see me when she was alive, and she still wanted to see me after she died? You did all this for me and just hid it from the Tokugawa family, I should thank you." ”

"But...... But she was not at peace after her death. Every night she kept repeating the moment before she died, and for many years I did not dare to look at it or save it. It's all because I didn't follow her that day, otherwise how could I have made her commit suicide......"

After my grandson finished speaking, he cried bitterly again, and tears wet his cheeks. Over the years, he was finally willing to tell the pain buried in his heart, and how many years of sadness and forbearance finally broke out at this moment.

Abe Xiaosanan wanted to comfort himself, but at this time, he couldn't even comfort himself, so how could he comfort others? What happened to Xizi all these years was not a knot in his heart, and he hated himself so much that he even transferred this emotion to his own son.

He was silent for a long time and asked, "What about ...... How's she now? Is she still there?"

My grandson cried even more sadly, and he almost lost the strength to sit, and he replied: "Before dawn I felt something strange there, and I hurried over to find that she was no longer there, and that the house had become an empty mound." ”

Abe Kosan had already expected this, and when Kojiro delivered internal force to himself, he had already felt the breath of Yukiko, and now he thought about what kind of secret technique Yukiko's soul must be hidden in Kojiro's body.

Suddenly, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and an undetectable smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Kojiro and Sun Sheng searched for a long time but couldn't find the three of them, so they had no choice but to turn to the Abe family for help.

Abe's home was so damaged that it looked dilapidated, and only a few extremely important houses were not destroyed, including the mourning hall of Yukiko.

At this moment, the sun is dazzling, and the mourning hall looks no different from other buildings, only the eerie atmosphere that emanates makes people feel that it is still a tomb.

As far as the eye could see, there were people kneeling in front of a room in the distance, and even seven people from the Dao Manjing family were waiting on the side. Kojiro said: "If my guess is right, the governor of the Abe family should be in this room, it seems that he is not badly damaged." ”

Sun Sheng said: "Sacrificing oneself to save others to this point can also afford his name." I'm afraid it's not good for us to ask him at this time. ”

Kojiro thought for a moment and said, "Go and see, we don't have much to do now, I don't think we will annoy the Abe family." ”

Sun Sheng nodded, and the two of them ran together with light skills.

Kojiro's internal strength was restored to fifty percent, and his light skills were very good, Sun Sheng chased after him and barely followed, and admired in his heart: "Little brother's skills are really powerful, I still used to have some frogs at the bottom of the well." ”

They ran for a while before they came to the house, and when the Abe family saw that it was the two of them coming, they got up and saluted.

Dao Manjing Hanako also brought six people to salute the two, and Li Sheng said very guiltily: "Shi is my impulsive, please don't be surprised, if you want to fight or kill Li Sheng, you have no choice but to bear it!"

Kojiro didn't want to answer, he was so focused on the three of them at the moment that he could not listen to the words of others. Although Sun Sheng had the same thoughts as him, he replied anyway, so he replied: "Whatever you want." "It made Lisheng messy in the wind.

They pushed the door in, and no one in the audience stopped them, and there was no doubt that Kojiro and Sun Sheng are now benefactors of the Abe family.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Abe Xiaosan and my grandson hugging each other and crying like a tearful person, Kojiro pondered in his heart: "How can these two forty-year-old men hug and cry together, there won't be any Longyang broken sleeve fetish." ”

When the two of them saw Kojiro and Sun Sheng coming, they let go of each other to stop crying, and my grandson knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to the two of them three times and said: "The governor of the Abe family has encountered a trap, thanks to the two of them to save the life of the governor of the family, thank you for your great grace, please accept my grandson's gift." ”

Kojiro hurriedly helped him up, said some kind words, and asked, "Did you two see the three people who came with us?" We searched Abe's house and couldn't find it. ”

Abe Xiaosan asked, "Are you talking about Yui Inoue, Qin Yao, and Ji Shizang?"

Kojiro said: "Yes, Qin Yao and Yui are still there, and I haven't seen them since I finished cooking the Michimani family." ”

Abe Xiaosan whispered a few words in my grandson's ear, and my grandson nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it." ”

Many disciples of the Abe family were concerned about the safety of Abe's mistress, and asked nonchalantly: "How is the family governor?

My grandson didn't answer, but reached out and pressed down to calm everyone's questions, "The vassals of Lord Takeda's family are missing, two women and one man, and most of the people present have seen it. You go looking for it now, and don't come back if you can't find it!"

After saying that, he closed the door and went back to his room.
