"Is that you?" Iori waved his hand, and the dozens of people around him all put down their weapons and took a step back.

The women wore ukiyokan's waiter kimonos, but the difference was that they tied the sleeves of the kimono with a rope to form a cross behind their backs. This system originated in the Han Dynasty of China as a practice of tying wide sleeves to facilitate labor. And this rope is called "arm", also known as the arm rope. At this time, it is obviously not for the convenience of labor, but there is a posture of rolling up the sleeves and preparing for a fight.

The weapon they use is also interesting, a long-handled weapon called the "Naginata", which has the shape of a spear head replaced by a knife. During the Edo period, samurai were forbidden to carry a large naginata, and the naginata gradually became a women's weapon. It's just that the naginata they use at this time is actually just a wooden stick in the shape of a naginata, and it seems that they are ready to meet the enemy, and they don't want to hurt Genji's people.

After getting out of the car, Ji Keyan stepped forward and said to Iori, "I've finished what your father told me, he shouldn't embarrass you anymore, right?"

Iori smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Bai Bird Ling has always had a grudge against her, and when she heard the conversation between the two at this time, it seemed that there was something in it that Ji Keyan hadn't told her, and frowned, "What are you talking about?" What does 'embarrassing her' mean?"

Ji Keyan was about to explain, but Iori interrupted, "I'll talk about this later." You should have received the news of Genji's attack tonight, so since you're here, you can retreat to the ukiyo-kan with us. ”

It is true that the streets are not the place to speak. At this time, a cold light flashed behind Ji Keyan, and after the surrounding women exclaimed, the guy who attacked fell in response.

This is the guy who rolled out of the car in front of them earlier, maybe he found those piano wires before Shiratori Ling and them, so he rushed to the side of the car, and rolled to the bottom of the car after the jeep braked in the rear, forgetting the existence of this guy for a while, and suddenly attacked while they were talking, only to be knocked unconscious by Kenichi Gen with the handle of his knife.

This episode was brief, but it made everyone more vigilant, Iori looked at Kenichi Gen and said in surprise, "Why are you here too?

Yuan Jianyi unconsciously glanced at Bai Bird Ling, and nodded weakly, "That's right, of course Your Majesty won't let you come here and empty the strength of the Ju Guild." ”

Iori smiled, "Welcome." She looked at the fainted fellow, "Take him back, maybe we can use him." ”

Two women stepped forward to set him up, and they returned to the ukiyo-kan.

They were already in Kabukicho by this time, but the street was very quiet, the doors and windows were closed, and there was no one.

"As soon as we received the news, we contacted the authorities to block the streets, and there could be many reasons, but the results were the same. Iori explained.

In the distance, they saw the ukiyo-kan, which was also closed and the lights out, but when they approached a certain distance, they seemed to have passed through an enchantment, and after a slight sense of blockage, they saw the ukiyo-kan with bright lights and a crowded flow of people.

"Wow! Is this the 'Living Soul Enchantment'? I've heard that Dongzhou has mastered this strange spiritual technique, and this is the first time I've seen it!" Ji Keyan said excitedly.

Iori smiled, "Dongzhou is not like your spirit realm, you can use the spirit to erase other people's memories. Because of the national conditions here, we can only rely on your White Bird family to deal with the aftermath, and setting up this kind of enchantment only plays a minor auxiliary role. ”

I've heard Sachiko say that here in Dongzhou, because the five major families are in a state of separation, there are often secret diners who can't be announced, so they can't use the method of erasing memories, and can only use this series of more "hardcore" methods to hide the spirit world. In contrast, the spiritual realms outside Dongzhou are all managed by the spiritual ministries of various countries, similar to the official departments of the living world, from the central to the local, layer by layer, so the list of spirits in each place is open in the spiritual world, so there is a white list to erase memories. In short, it is indeed due to the national situation, there are equivalent to five rulers here in Dongzhou, while there is only one ruler in the spiritual world of other continents, the central spiritual ministry of each country.

"What happens if a mortal walks into the enchantment?" Ji Keyan asked.

Iori said: "From the outside, you can only see illusions, and if you accidentally walk in, it will interfere with their minds and cause them to walk back in an unconscious state, and they will not regain consciousness until they walk back a certain distance, creating the illusion of a cycle." It is what you Chinese often call 'ghosts hitting the wall'. ”

Ji Keyan asked strangely, "But there was a legend of ghosts hitting the wall in China a long time ago, could it be that there are also spirits in China who will give birth to the spirit enchantment?"

Bai Bird Ling said, "No matter which country's spirit world, there will always be non-official spirit people who are not outside the official, although they are not officially bound, but they still maintain this tacit understanding in the matter of hiding the spirit world, and exposing the spirit world will also cause them a lot of trouble." ”

At this time, although there were people coming and going in the ukiyo-kan, all of them were waitresses from the ukiyo-kan, and there were no mortals, all of them were dressed in kimonos and holding wooden nagi knives, running back and forth, as if they were preparing to meet the enemy.

As soon as he entered the door, Chimoritsuru greeted him, "Miss Iori, Lord Hongyi, please come over for a moment." ”

Iori nodded knowingly, and said to Ji Keyan, "You three please take care of yourself, and when the enemy army comes to attack, you can adapt to the situation." ”

The three of them nodded and watched her leave, and Chimoritsuru bowed to them slightly, and went with it, leaving only the three of them standing still, not knowing what to do, and it seemed that these waitresses did not need their help at all in the preparation stage.

Ji Keyan was at a loss for a moment, "What should we do now?"

"I want to go and see the captive first, maybe I can learn something from his mouth." ”

Yuan Kenyi smiled, "You really underestimate the Seven Warriors of the Spirit Sword, if you can pry the information out of their mouths, I am sure that the five major families will already be under the control of Your Majesty." ”

It seems that the Emperor Lingzhong is not less troublesome to them, Ji Keyan only feels that the internal affairs of this Dongzhou are really not ordinary chaos, but seeing that the people around them are busy, they can't help when they stand here, and they are still in the way, "Go and ask, maybe you can get something." ”

Kenichi Gen has no opinion, maybe he didn't have it in the first place, he just didn't have hope.

When they came to the room where they were holding the man on the second floor, the people who could enter the ukiyo-kan at this time were their own people, so the two waitresses at the door did not stop them.

In the empty room, the man was tied up with five flowers, lying on his side on the tatami mat, without any movement, and did not seem to be awake.

Yuan Jian smiled and said, "What to do, he hasn't woken up yet." ”

Ji Keyan said embarrassedly, "Even if I don't wake up, I don't want to go out now, and the idle pestle is very embarrassed there." ”

Bai Bird Ling sat down directly on the spot, "Rest for a while, there will be a tough battle to fight later." ”

The two also sat down, Gen Kenichi felt that he must be crazy to get involved in this matter, at this time, the Imperial Spirits must be investigating everywhere, whether it is the changes in the Akai family, or the death of Gen Yoshihiro, and the sudden battle between Genji and Kimura, there must be a lot of things to investigate, and the Imperial Spirits should have been very busy.

Looking at Kenichi Gen, who was full of depression, Shiratori Ling comforted, "Kenichi, I really want to thank you this time. You know, now that Brother Xiao and the guy surnamed Nie are missing, and there is no man by his side, we women can't do it on our own. ”

"I'm like a mascot anyway. Although he said this, his heart was warm, "Don't worry, four of the Seven Spirit Sword Warriors, we have already seen it just now, in fact, just like that, with the three of us, it is absolutely no problem to deal with the remaining five." ”

"Five?" Ji Keyan didn't react for a while, and didn't know where this number came from.

Yuan Kenyi looked at her helplessly, "Of the four people, one is lying here, and the other three are just thrown into the wormhole by you, they should have returned to the team at this time, that is to say, only one of the six people is considered to be solved by us, and there are five more." After speaking, he showed a disdainful look again, "As for why there are only six of the Seven Samurai, do you need me to explain?"

"There was a guy named Akai Ibuki who was killed by Hakuba, and I didn't turn my ears to what was going on outside the window. Ji Keyan said with some indignation, and then a little worried, "But can we really deal with the remaining five? After all, they can be regarded as the strongest spirits in Dongzhou." ”

Shiratori Ling was not worried, "Believe me, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be more powerful than Mo Rui and the monster under the Akai family, those we can all deal with, what are they worth." ”

"But that's a few of us against one, this time it's three against five, maybe we are really good together, but it's ...... when we are separated."

"It's five against five. Shiratori Ling said with a smile, "Iori Kimura's skills have been seen, although he is not a master, but he also has the strength of an intermediate spirit, I think Kimura Hiroki, as the head of the family, must be a master." And, have you forgotten that there are still Senmorizuru?"

Ji Keyan immediately remembered, clapped his hands excitedly, and said, "That's right! And that old woman named Chimorizuru! I remember Sachiko saying at the time that she was a 'Charm Dancing Girl', and said that she was the number one master in the Edo period, and we would definitely be able to ...... with her."

"Charm no Maihime?," Kenichi Gen interrupted suddenly, his face full of shock.

They thought that Kenichi Gen seemed to know about it for the first time, and he didn't know where he was on the night Iori was humiliated.

Shiratori Ling could see that he seemed to know the old woman too, and asked tentatively, "You know her, don't you?"

"It's more than awareness. She, like the Thousand Sons Key Sword, was also a member of the First Emperor Spirits. He looked at the stunned Shiratori Ling, and his expression became very solemn, "Moreover, after Senko-sama got the hungry ghost fun omata, she disappeared with Chiko-sama." ”
