In the past, people didn't put the finishing touches on the dragon, fearing that it would fly away.

And when the girl in front of her closed her eyes, she looked just a little delicate. But as soon as he opened his eyes, it was like the dragon in the painting could be put the finishing touch, and the whole person became smart. The facial features that were not particularly delicate were just right, and no matter how you look at them, they are somewhat similar to the people you think about in your heart.

What Jiu Yequan saw was the little junior sister, while Bai Yujing saw Yao Mingyue.

The eyes of the little sister are like autumn water cutting pupils, pure and flawless. And Yao Mingyue's eyes seem to be born with a smile, as bright as the bright moon. The two of them obviously saw the same person and the same pair of eyes, but they felt completely different, and they both had a hint of joy in their hearts.

"You saved me?"

The girl spoke Japanese, but Bai Yujing still understood. In the past three months, although he still can't speak, he can still understand some simple Japanese.

I only heard Jiuye Spring babble a lot, and the girl suddenly bowed to Bai Yujing and said, "Mingji thanks the aisleman." ”

This girl can even speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty, the girl seemed to see the confusion in Bai Yujing's eyes, and hurriedly said: "In the past, there was an old man in Mingji's family who was originally a member of the Ming Dynasty, so Mingji would speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty since she was a child. ”

Bai Yujing nodded, and Jiuye Quan glanced at the girl more. It is also famous to raise people in the Ming Dynasty, and it is basically impossible for such characters to live in foreign countries, which is quite rare in Japan. Generally taken in by Japanese public families, this girl obviously has some background.

The girl saw Jiuye Izumi looking at her, smiled at him, and said, "Jiuye-kun, Mingji's real surname is Kitahara, her name is Qianqiu, and her father used to be a member of the Rokkaku family. ”

Kuno Izumi said "oh", and the Rokkaku family seemed to have been rushed to Koga by Oda Nobunaga the year before last. If this Kitahara Chiaki is really a member of the Rokkaku family, how can he be hunted down and killed by the Koga ninja? Although Kuno Izumi had doubts in his heart, he did not say it.

"This rabbit is all roasted, let's eat something first. Bai Yujing smiled, tore a piece of roasted rabbit meat and handed it to Kitahara Chiaki. Kitahara Chiaki hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, and his eyes secretly looked at Bai Yujing.

She has been learning all kinds of ninjutsu since she was a child, and she originally thought that she would die now, but she didn't expect to be saved in a short period of time. The surprise in my heart is a little worse than that of Jiuye Spring, but I have learned to endure since I was a child, and I don't easily show all kinds of thoughts.

In her opinion, Bai Yujing seems to be very young, such a young person actually has the ability to come back to life? I can't help but think that the old master once told the story about the mountain immortals of the Ming Dynasty, who practiced the art of immortality and could rejuvenate themselves.

Could this Taoist be an old immortal?

Kuno Izumi has mixed tastes in his heart, and Kitahara Chiaki reminds him of the little junior sister in Kashima Shrine. It's just that he can't go back, if he dares to return to Kashima Shrine, even if the master doesn't kill him, those brothers and sisters will kill him.

When I was feeling sad, I heard the smell of wine.

Bai Yujing unscrewed the mouth of the wine gourd, and as soon as he took a sip, he saw Jiuyequan looking at the wine gourd in his hand, and couldn't help but smile: "Jiuyejun is also good wine?"

"I used to drink sake when I was at the shrine. Jiuye Quan smiled bitterly.

"Kuno-kun is a member of the shrine?, I don't know which god you serve?"

Bai Yujing threw the wine gourd to Jiuye Spring, and said with a smile: "Taste the Xinfeng wine brought by Poor Dao from Daming." ”

"I used to be at the shrine, but now I'm just a ronin. After Jiuye Quan finished speaking, he poured a large sip of wine. The wine was cool and delicious when it entered his mouth, but when he entered his stomach, he suddenly felt a flame rising from his chest to his throat, and it was hot and hot. It was still hot again, and his head was covered with hot sweat in an instant.

He hurriedly returned the wine gourd to Bai Yujing, opened his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of strong wine: "It's a strong wine." The originally dark face also developed a flush.

"It's the negligence of the poor road, this wine is extremely strong, and I forgot to remind Jiuye-kun. Bai Yujing was slightly apologetic.

"The Taoist is polite, I'm ...... I...... It's just ......" Jiuyejun stammered, he had never drunk such a strong drink, although he was strong in martial arts, he couldn't resist the drunkenness. Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground in a daze.

This made Kitahara Chiaki stunned, and she looked at Bai Yujing in surprise.

Bai Yujing felt that Kitahara Qianqiu's expression was different, and he couldn't help laughing: "There is no poison in this wine, Jiuye-kun just drank too much." ”

Sure enough, a thunderous snoring sounded, and Kitahara Chiaki's face couldn't help but turn red, and Shi Li said, "It's Mingji who thinks too much." ”

Bai Yujing waved his hand and drank wine and ate meat by himself. Kitahara Chiaki looks petite, but the amount of food is not small, maybe she is really hungry, and she eats half of a rabbit of two or three catties. However, Bai Yujing still saw that she seemed to be deliberately controlling her food, and stopped before she was full.

"Why did the Taoist come to Japan?" asked Kitahara Chiaki a little cautiously. She also remembered that the old master was plundered to Japan from Daming by a group of ronins, and it was definitely impossible for Bai Yujing to be captured.

"I once heard from a friend that there is a wonderful view of Mt. Fuji in your country, so I came to visit. Bai Yujing put away the wine gourd and said with a smile: "Has Ming Ji been to Mt. Fuji?"

Kitahara Chiaki shook his head and said, "I heard that I haven't been there in Tokaido. Speaking of this, he suddenly knelt down to Bai Yujing and said, "Dao Chief, before he died, the old master asked Ming Ji to bring his relics back to Daming. When will you go back to Daming, can you take Mingji with you?"

Bai Yujing hurriedly helped her up and said, "I'm afraid that Poor Dao won't be able to return to Daming in a short time." ”

A hint of gloom flashed in Kitahara's eyes.

Thinking of something again, he said to Bai Yujing: "Dao Chief, you have to pass through several countries to go to Mount Fuji this time, it is better to let Ming Ji follow Dao Chang and lead the way for Dao Chief." ”

Bai Yujing frowned slightly, he originally wanted to ask Jiuye Spring to help lead the way. After all, Jiuyequan's martial arts are not bad, and even if you encounter any troubles along the way, you can solve them. Although the girl in front of her looks delicate and harmless to humans and animals, she has been chased and killed before, and she is obviously in big trouble. If you take her with you, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience on this trip, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?

Seeing Bai Yujing's hesitation, Kitahara Chiaki hurriedly knelt on the ground again, and cried bitterly: "Dao Chief, Ming Ji was chased and killed by the Koga ninja, and if she left alone, she would definitely be killed if she didn't reach Daming." The Taoist had already saved Akihime's life, and Akihime thought to herself that the Taoist would definitely not want Akihime to die at the hands of others again. It's better to let Mingji follow the Taoist, and be willing to be a cow and a horse for the Taoist. Mt. Fuji Akihime has never been there, but Akihime knows where it is. ”

Kitahara Chiaki's face changed just like the weather just now, her voice was choked, and tears were like rain. Ordinary people are afraid that they will be broken by it and pity it.

Although Bai Yujing knew that most of her expression was pretended, but after thinking about it, even if this Kitahara Qianqiu was involved in some troublesome things, what did he have to worry about. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and I have long heard Master Quan Qingzi say that some ninjas among the Japanese ronin can do some strange arts, so you can take a look.

If we can learn from it, we may be able to find other ways to solve the shortcomings of the Taixuan Sutra.

Thinking of this, he looked at Kitahara Chiaki's eyes that seemed to be like a bright moon, and his heart suddenly woke up: "This can't be a kind of charm, right?" There are many charm methods in the Demon Gate, and this Kitahara Chiaki's eyes are afraid that they have also practiced some kind of exercise.

Japan may be small, but there may be a lot of strange arts. He remained silent and said slowly: "Okay, Mingji, you get up first." ”

"Thank you, Chief!"

After another half an hour, Kuno Spring woke up. Hearing Bai Yujing say that he was going to Mt. Fuji, he actually said that he wanted to go together. For this reason, he couldn't help but glance at Chiaki Kitahara. If it weren't for Kitahara Chiaki who made him think of his little junior sister, he wouldn't want to go to Mt. Fuji even if he had all kinds of reasons.

It's not that far from Kashima Shrine.

It was still early, and Bai Yujing decided to set off immediately and enter Chikuzen Province before dark. When Kuno Izumi found out that Kitahara Chiaki was also walking with him, he was slightly surprised, but he didn't say much.

......

Chikuzen Province Mikasa-gun.

Due to the war between the Otomo family who occupied Chikuzen Province and the Mori family in Chushu and the Ryuzoji family in Hizen for many years, the restaurant in the castle has long been closed, and the streets are desolate, and few people walk around. In a courtyard in the west of the city, several ninjas in brown tights were standing in two rows, saluting an old man in gray.

The gray-clothed old man was no more than five feet tall, with a slender figure like a macaque, but he had a pair of attractive ears, and it was none other than Hachita Shin Hachida of the Hatta clan in the fifty-three families of Koga.

"Yanagida Jiro, Watanabe Mitsui, and Furusawa Mumu didn't come back?"

As soon as Hatta Shinichi spoke, none of the two rows of ninjas standing answered. Suddenly, a ninja hurriedly walked from outside the door and saluted Hatta Mako, "Hatta-sama, they are dead. ”

"Dead?"

Hatta looked at the ninja with a sullen face: "Where's Akihime?"

The ninja secretly glanced at Hatta Shin and hesitated: "Akihime, Akihime, she is gone......"

"Hmph, Mingji is gone, what are you doing when you come back. Speaking of which, Hatta Shin said to a ninja, "Iwai Hosoyanagi!"

I saw a ninja stand up, and suddenly there was an extra cross nail in his hand. With a "boom", the ninja who had just returned snorted and fell to the ground. Look at the cross nail right in the head, killing him instantly.

"You take a few people to find out Akihime!" Hatta didn't even look at the dead man, and said to Iwai Hosoyanagi, "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." ”

Iwai Hosoyanagi nodded yes, nodded a few people casually, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
