"Just now I also performed the Turtle and Snake Sword Technique for you, which essentially expounds the way of yin and yang. ”

"The so-called way of yin and yang, generally speaking, is that all things are relative to each other, such as heaven and earth, sun and moon, cold and heat, day and night, and even men and women, male and female, these are all yin and yang. And put on the swordsmanship, there must be up and down, left and right, straight, opening and closing, movement and static, attack and defense, which is the embodiment of the way of yin and yang. Unlike your country's swordsmanship, which is mainly based on chopping and stabbing, it goes straight and horizontally without the change of rigidity and softness......"

"The intersection of turtles and snakes is the integration of water and fire, the ancients said: ups and downs, water and fire seem to have no way, and changes turtles and snakes are like doors. One day you will understand this truth, and this sword technique will be understood. ”

The night is clear, and Bai Yujing is teaching the Kitahara Chiaki turtle and snake swordsmanship. In retrospect, this was also the first sword technique he learned. Although he learned it as a boxing technique at the beginning, Zhang Songxi also gave him what boxing is a sword that night.

Fist and swordsmanship are inherently connected, and the sword is an extension of the human arm.

At this moment, if you teach Kitahara Chiaki, those familiar tricks are even more handy, and they are all standard and appropriate. Looking at Kitahara Qianqiu again, he has already memorized the swordsmanship tricks, and the Qingping sword in his hand is also dancing well, but the movements are jerky and not proficient.

After Bai Yujing watched it, he let her practice by herself, and when she returned to the room, the Nine Ghost Inuyasha had already served tea.

"You know that she deceived you, why do you still teach her swordsmanship?"

"She may have deceived me, but teaching her swordsmanship is the reward I promised her earlier, and the two are not to be confused. It's like you helped me go to Koga to find out the situation in exchange for freedom, but in fact, I gave you freedom, you can leave alone, so why bother going back and forth. ”

"That's exactly what everybody has in their hearts. Bai Yujing said lightly, "And I am also willing to believe in Kitahara Chiaki." ”

The Nine Oni Inuyasha laughed.

"Dao Chief, this time you are afraid that you are looking away, I inquired clearly in Koga, although the two fathers and sons of the Rokkaku clan Yixian Yoshiji fled to Koga, although they had to use the power of the Koga ninja, their power has not diminished in the slightest. ”

"At present, the most powerful family in the entire Koga is the Rokkaku family, and then there are many ninja families in Koga. For example, the Ogawara clan united the Kurokawa clan, the Tonomiya clan, the Ohno clan, the Iwamuro clan, the Akutagawa clan, the Kushiki clan, the Geji clan, and the Jimbo clan to form the Kitayama Nine Alliance. ”

The Yamanaka clan also united with the Miyobe clan and the Ban clan to form the Kashiwagi family, as well as the Nanzan six families formed by the Wada clan, and the Sonachi family formed by the Hattori clan. Of course, the two alliances are said to have fled to Iga due to the Koga War, and the Hattori clan even went to Miwa Province. ”

"Although the Hatta clan is not weak among many ninja families, it is only one of the many ninja families in Koga. Therefore, if Kitahara Chiaki is a member of the Rokkaku clan, it is impossible to be hunted down by the Hatta clan. ”

Bai Yujing was noncommittal when she heard her say this.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the Nine Ghost Inuyasha shook his head, and his body flashed, and he disappeared into the darkness.

About half an hour later, when Bai Yujing was about to fall asleep, Kitahara Chiaki knocked on the door. "Dao Chief?"

"What's the matter?" Bai Yujing replied.

There was an instant silence outside the door, but Bai Yujing could feel that Kitahara Chiaki had not left. It's just that for some reason he didn't speak again, and it took a few minutes before he heard Kitahara Chiaki say, "Dao Chief, I'm here to confess." ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Yujing couldn't help but be slightly surprised, he originally thought that it was normal for Kitahara Chiaki to deceive him a little at first. After all, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was even seriously injured and dying after being chased and killed, and it is normal to have reservations in such a situation.

So he didn't expect Kitahara Chiaki to reveal the truth, but now it seems that Kitahara Chiaki is clearly going to tell him everything.

"Come in. ”

The door was pushed open, and Kitahara Chiaki walked in with a sword in both hands, and the faint moonlight shone into the room with her. Kitahara Chiaki looked at Bai Yujing with an indifferent expression, opened his mouth, wanted to say but couldn't speak, so he had to kneel on the ground: "I want to ask the Taoist to save my father." ”

"Save your father?" Bai Yujing hurriedly helped Kitahara Chiaki, "Where is your father?"

"Dao Chief, do you remember that when Ming Ji first met Dao Chang, he explained that Ji's father was from the Liujiao family, but his real surname was Kita, and his original name was Qianqiu. Actually, my biological father was a Rokkaku clan, but after my biological father died, I was taken to the Kitahara family by my mother. Later, Oda Nobunaga invaded Koga, and everyone in my family died except for me and my father, who were rescued. ”

"That man taught me ninjutsu, and forced me to marry the Hatta family, I didn't want to escape, and then I met the Taoist chief you......" Kitahara Chiaki paused when he said this, "Originally, if I escaped from Japan, I would have gone to Daming according to the old master's wishes, and there would be nothing else to do, and my father would not have been arrested by that person." ”

"Do you know why the ninjas of the Hatta clan disappeared after we left the country of Anru, because the person who saved me appeared, that is, my master, and he drove away those ninjas of the Hatta clan. ”

Bai Yujing was slightly stunned: "Why don't I know." "Kitahara Chiaki is almost always with him, and if someone comes into contact with Kitahara Chiaki, it is impossible for him not to know.

"It's a code, a code that is unique among us ninjas. He threatened me with my father's life and made me follow you and wait for his orders. ”

"Follow me? What does this mean, who is your master?" Bai Yujing was a little puzzled, it seemed that no one in the whole of Japan should know him.

"I don't know what he's asking me to follow you, and I haven't received any orders from him yet. As for who he is, I don't know, he wears a black hat all the year round, and only two eyes are exposed. The only thing that is certain is that he has a high prestige among the Koga ninjas, whether it is the Hatta clan or the Kitayama Kuya, the Kashiwagi three families do not dare to easily disobey his orders. ”

"However, when we arrive in Koga in two days, he will definitely find us. Perhaps, he will give me orders again. Kitahara Chiaki said this and looked at Bai Yujing, her eyes filled with tears, "It's just that my father is in his hands......"

"Don't worry, if you don't tell him, I can't do anything about him, if he really appears, you just tell me, he won't be able to escape. Bai Yujing comforted: "When the time comes, if you capture that person, your father will be safe." ”

Kitahara Chiaki nodded, no matter how powerful that person is, it is impossible for him to be as powerful as the Kashima Sword Saint. If it weren't for Bai Yujing defeating the Kashima Sword Master, she wouldn't have revealed it all. Of course, it was also because of the sudden appearance of the Nine Ghost Inuyasha that made her feel bad.

"You go down first. ”

"Hmmm......"

Bai Yujin waited for Kitahara Chiaki to leave and looked at Mingyue outside the window with a slight smile, Kitahara Chiaki must still have something to hide, but he also revealed some things. For example, the master in her mouth, although this person is hidden in the dark, he seems to know something.

Otherwise, why did he let Kitahara Chiaki follow him?

If it's not an old man, there is only one possibility, and that is the murderer who killed Sakurako Sakagami.

Because no one in Japan knows Bai Yujing, but Sakurako Sakagami and the three of them all know Bai Yujing.

And he asked Fuji Fengyang that Sakurako Sakagami and others would not die for more than a month. What does that mean, it means that Sakurako Sakagami and the others may have been imprisoned for the past three years, and it was not until a month ago that they were taken to Mt. Fuji and found the Flying Dragon Cave and snatched the Penglai Sendao chart.

It's just that this person first knew the news of the Penglai Xiandao chart, or did he first imprison the three of Sakagami Sakurako to know the Penglai Xiandao chart.

Bai Yujing didn't understand it, so he didn't think about it anymore, and continued to nurture the fire of his heart with the qi of Aoki. Since he first understood the principle of turbidity lifting and lowering through the body of the giant god, he began to conceive and cultivate the qi of the five internal organs. Because of the existence of Aoki's qi, the qi of his five organs and five elements is out of tune, and he can't sort out the turbidity and control the lifting, so he must be perfect and consistent with the five internal organs and five qi.

The five elements are born together, with the qi of Aoki as the guide, it can naturally give birth to other gold, water, fire and earth, but it takes a little effort, and even the middle will cause other internal organs to be uncomfortable, and it has to be slowly figured out.

The next day, the trio returned to Ise Bay, and after two more days, they crossed Hazu Castle all the way west through Mt. Suzuka and finally arrived at Akeie Castle. Because of the war for many years, Catjiang City was heavily guarded, and Bai Yujing and the three of them just walked around the city and did not enter the city directly, but occupied an abandoned temple in Suzuka Mountain outside the city to spend the night.

"The Jimbo clan has a courtyard in the east of the city, and more than a dozen clansmen live here. The Nine Oni Inuyasha looked at the sky, "We'll go over now, just in time for them to sleep." ”

Bai Yujing didn't speak, but looked at Kitahara Chiaki.

Kitahara Chiaki shook his head: "That person hasn't appeared yet." She looked at Bai Yujing and the Nine Ghost Inuyasha as if they were about to leave, and couldn't help but say, "Can you take me, I'm familiar with Catfish City." ”

Before Bai Yujing could speak, the Nine Ghost Inuyasha spoke first: "Catfish City is heavily guarded, and it is still relatively dangerous. Kitahara Chiaki looked at Bai Yujing, and Bai Yujing shook his head. Kitahara Chiaki had no choice but to keep his head down and let the two of them leave.

Bai Yujing and the Nine Ghost Inuyasha got off Suzuka Mountain, and after walking only two miles, Bai Yujing suddenly said: "You go to Catfish City first, I'll go later." You must not do it until I arrive. After saying that, he went back the way he came.

The Nine Ghost Inuyasha couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Bai Yujing's returning figure, and after thinking about it, he still headed towards Catfish City.

Kitahara Chiaki in the ruined temple looked at the cold mountains and forests outside the temple by the light moonlight, and felt inexplicably uneasy. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly she noticed a long shadow in front of her. In an instant, she almost exclaimed.

He hurriedly knelt down on the ground again: "Mingji to meet Master!"

"Do you remember that I am your master?" A cold voice seemed to tear through Kitahara Chiaki's thick clothes, making her shiver involuntarily!

"How could Mingji forget Master, you......"

"Then why didn't I ask you to give Bai Yujing's morning glory to break the intestines?"

Kitahara Chiaki hurriedly kowtowed heavily and said, "Master, you misunderstood Mingji, Mingji has been trying to poison him. It's just that he takes precautions every day, and Ming Ji can't find any opportunities. With that, she mustered up the courage to look up at the man.

The black robe, only a pair of cold eyes can be seen.

"And he's already starting to suspect Akihime......"

"What? doubt you...... How could it be ......" The man didn't seem to expect it, "Oh no, I was fooled!" A look of resentment flashed in his eyes, "Mingji, you dare to betray me!"

At the same time, a long shadow also appeared behind him, and a person holding a sword under the moonlight was independent.
