the other side.
Ayako and others also went to visit the famous Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto.
As the oldest temple in Kyoto, even though it has been burned down many times for reconstruction, it is still one of Neon's national treasures.
The suspended Qingshui Stage in front of the main hall is a neon national treasure.
Of course, Xiaolan, who is here at this moment, would not have thought that she would muster up the greatest courage in her life here and do something that she dare not even think about now.
And this place will become the bravest place in her life that she will never forget.
But, now it is just an ordinary tourist attraction to her.
"Lan~ Come on, let's take pictures together~"
Compared with the sad expression before, Kazuha was obviously much happier at this moment. It seemed that Ayako's words before had made her let go of her worries and strengthened her confidence.
"coming."
Xiaolan ran over, and Ayako, as a photographer, took commemorative photos for the three female high school students, followed by the Suzuki sisters and other combinations.
Finally, they asked passers-by to take a group photo of the four of them, and the atmosphere was so jarring.
"It's already noon, shall we go have lunch?"
After thanking the passersby who took the photo, Ayako looked at the time and suggested with a smile.
"In that case, I have a good restaurant and I can recommend it to you. The red date soup there is delicious!"
Heye Wenyan said with a smile: "You must let me treat you this time. It also allows me to thank Sister Ayako for the help she gave me!"
"Oh, it looks like you are full of confidence, Heye-chan~" Yuanzi covered her mouth and showed a teasing smile: "Have you thought of some good way to capture a man's heart~"
"No, no!" Kazuye's face turned red, he lowered his head and said with embarrassment, "I just heard Sister Ayako say so much, and I feel a little more confident in myself..."
"Yeah~ Not bad~ Not bad~" Yuanzi patted He Ye's shoulder and said with an old-fashioned look: "You should have such a mentality and take him down generously!"
"It must be no problem." Xiaolan looked at Yuanzi and said with a smirk, "Yuanzi understands this sentence very well~
After all, Kyogoku really fell in love with Sonoko because of her generous support for me, so I heard her right~"
"Don't use me as an example!"
After hearing Xiaolan's words, Yuanzi's face turned red. The old and arrogant look before instantly turned into a shy look, and he was so anxious that he covered Xiaolan's mouth.
He Ye watched the two people fighting with a smile on their lips, and the previous depression was swept away and turned into full confidence.
At least she knows she has a good chance of winning, and that's enough!
The girl's heart is full of pride, looking forward to the next meeting with her sweetheart and defeating her rival in an upright manner!
.........
The motorcycle, one black and one green, slowly slowed down. Karasawa and Hattori Heiji finally parked the motorcycle in front of the antique-style courtyard gate.
Taking off his helmet, Hattori Heiji pointed to the small wooden door next to the woods not far away and introduced: "That's the west gate of Kurama Temple over there. Although generally everyone enters from the Nio Gate, that's just for tourists.
the way.
The side I chose is a shortcut that only acquaintances will know, and there are fewer people there. Look, there aren’t that many cars around."
"That's true." Conan nodded and found that apart from a few cars, there was only a blue motorcycle parked here.
"Let's go in." Hattori Heiji waved to the two of them and walked forward at the lead.
Conan didn't stay where he was, and followed him at a trot.
On the contrary, Karasawa's eyes briefly stayed on the blue motorcycle for a moment, and then he smiled slightly and followed the two of them into the temple from the west gate of Kurama Temple.
When talking about Kurama Temple, we have to mention the legend of the Tengu with a red face and long nose in the neon lights.
Among the many Tengu legends, this story is also extremely famous.
One of the popular literature of the Muromachi period, "Oka Soko", contains the story of Tengu.
The father of the famous military commander Minamoto Yoshitsune, Minamoto Yoshitomo, was defeated in the Heiji Rebellion and was captured by the Taira family. Minamoto Yoshitsune was fostered in Kurama Temple.
Afterwards, Minamoto Yoshitsune was determined to avenge his father, so he practiced swordsmanship in the back mountain of Kurama Temple. As a result, he met the legendary Tengu, learned swordsmanship from him, and finally defeated the Taira clan.
Although Kurama Temple is a temple, it is also famous for the legend of Tengu, and is even worshiped as the temple of the ghost gate that protects the capital.
Of course, these are just legends, and this place is just an old temple.
Of course, it is not accurate to say that it is an ordinary temple, because it is not built on flat land but on a mountain.
Not long after Tang Ze and others entered from the west gate, they began to climb up the stairs.
The stairs were covered with dust, and there were old trees on both sides. Some tree roots could even be seen spreading to the stairs.
Of course, the benefits are obvious. Compared with city streets, the air here is fresh and pleasant except for the slight smell of vegetation.
Even if Tangze let go of his sense of smell and took a deep breath, he didn't feel any discomfort.
Following Hattori Heiji as he walked forward, the three of them finally arrived at a school.
Of course, this is not an ordinary school, but Fudodo, an academy specifically for monks.
"Legend has it that this is the exact place where Ushiwakamaru, also known as Minamoto Yoshitsune, and Tengu learned kendo."
While introducing the situation here, Hattori Heiji looked around and said: "Well, looking at the environment here, it is indeed a very suitable place for practicing kendo."
Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets and immediately walked to the huge cedar tree on the side. This cedar tree felt like even two or three adults might not be able to hug it. It could be said to be a real big tree in the sky.
"This cedar tree is really big!"
Just as Hattori Heiji looked up at the big tree, Conan also checked the surroundings and confirmed that this place had nothing to do with the secret code: "Hattori, this is not..."
Before he finished speaking, Conan caught a glimpse of a man holding a bow and arrow on a large tree nearby from the corner of his eye.
"Get down!!"
Conan's expression changed drastically and he pounced on Hattori Heiji, but Karasawa, who had been prepared, acted faster than him.
"Bang!"
As Conan shouted, Karasawa pulled out the "Detective" with his right hand and shot decisively.
Bullets and enemy arrows were fired almost at the same time, even passing by each other in mid-air.
But the consequences between the two are completely different.
After shooting, Karasawa, who was on guard for a long time, flicked his ceremonial uniform with his left hand. As the gentleman's stick was swung in mid-air, it automatically extended and accurately blocked the incoming arrow. Conan knocked him down behind him.
Hattori Heiji.
The arrow made a crisp sound when it was blocked by the gentleman's stick, and then fell due to the inertia of gravity. At the same time, the prisoner who climbed up the tree to assassinate Hattori Heiji also fell.
Tang Ze's shot was too fast and too urgent. With Tang Ze's skills, it took only an instant from drawing the gun to firing.
Therefore, the prisoner who was conducting the assassination was shot in the head without even reacting.
Although the opponent's motorcycle helmet provided good protection, the huge kinetic energy of the rubber bullet was still a very powerful force.
Before he had time to react, he lost his balance.
But the man wearing the helmet was obviously very skilled. Although he lost his balance, he still adjusted his body shape in mid-air in time.
I saw him using the big branches around him to remove resistance in mid-air, and finally rolled on the ground a few times in a panic before regaining my balance.
Being able to fall from such a high tree intact, even if it was protected by the opponent's helmet and racing suit, is enough to show that his skill at this moment is extraordinary.
During this process, Hattori Heiji did not take time to react. He immediately came to the enemy's rear in an attempt to block his escape route.
Of course, Conan also quietly ran to the other side. Although in the eyes of the prisoner, a kid has no deterrent effect at all, but if he dares to underestimate Conan, his "satellite ray kick" will make him understand something.
It's called cruelty.
But these are not the reasons why the prisoner stopped moving when he should have gotten up and fled immediately.
Because Tang Ze had already arrived in front of the man, and the dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at the man in front of him.
"You have a bow and arrow, and I have a gun. Which one of us has the advantage? You must know it in your heart. What do you think? Do you want to surrender?" Tang Ze smiled and raised his gun, aiming at the enemy to persuade him to surrender.
Hearing Tangze's words, the three of them could clearly see the prisoner in front of them making a sudden movement and immediately placing the sword bag on his back on the ground.
Just when the three of them thought that the other party was planning to lay down their weapons and surrender, they did not expect that the other party took out a sword from his sword bag and rushed towards Karasawa.
The distance between the two was only seven steps, and the man narrowed the distance between the two to three steps in the blink of an eye due to deliberate arithmetic.
And this distance is where the sword can touch!
This sudden turn of events caught Conan and Hattori Heiji off guard. They expected to be prepared to prevent the other party from escaping, but they never expected that the prisoner would boldly attack Karasawa armed with a gun.
Even though the gun didn't seem to be fatal, looking at the cracks on the helmet's visor, one already knew that just one bullet was enough to incapacitate someone.
In such a disadvantageous situation, they were unexpected that the opponent would dare to counterattack.
But at this moment, they were too late to provide support. They saw a flash of cold light, and the long knife cut through an icy arc in mid-air towards Tang Ze's neck.
But facing this fatal murderous intention, Tang Ze didn't panic at all.
His nerve reflexes had already seen through the opponent's "decapitation" plan when he took the first step of striking with a knife.
So while Hattori and Heiji were still in shock, Karasawa had already made a move.
The gentleman's stick in his left hand seemed to predict the future and blocked the attack of the long sword in advance, just like the opponent's sword took the initiative to meet Karasawa's gentleman's stick.
Blocking the enemy's killing move with one hand, Tang Ze didn't even pause. His left foot instantly jumped up like a spring and struck the opponent's chest hard.
Because the other party already wanted to kill Tang Ze, he had no intention of holding back.
That body that seemed thin but actually contained terrifying power exploded with all its strength at this moment!
Even though there was not enough space and the force exerted was somewhat insufficient, the prisoner who received the kick was still kicked out until he hit the cedar tree behind him, and then rolled down like a rag doll thrown against the wall.
land.
"Assaulting a police officer after being arrested after failing to assassinate, my friend, you are guilty of a higher crime. Based on your crime, I am afraid that the only way to go is the death penalty. One or two more will not matter."
Karasawa put away the firearm in his right hand and handed Hattori Heiji a pair of gloves: "Here you go, put the weapon on and put it back in his sword bag. These are all evidence."
"It's no use worrying about you." Conan patted his chest and said, "We were really shocked when we saw you being attacked."
"With his three-legged cat skills, he doesn't even have the qualifications to let me shoot." Gentleman Karasawa knocked the prisoner's helmet with his stick, with a look of disdain on his face.
The moment the other party started to act, he had already realized that the prisoner was planning to attack him.
Although he could shoot decisively at that time, in the end he waited for the opponent to make the first move and defeated the enemy with one strike in close combat.
Not to save bullets or anything like that, but because he didn't want to take any risks.
After all, the opponent is wearing racing driver's clothes, which actually has a very good protective effect against rubber bullets, which also gives the enemy a chance to resist.
After all, they are not ordinary bullets with terrifying lethality. They will be knocked down immediately after being shot.
If the opponent relied on the protective clothing and his own will to carry the rubber bullet and cut him off with a single blow, even Karasawa would be injured.
So under the circumstances, Tang Zhe chose to use his absolute strength to crush the enemy.
Although the opponent is already very powerful in swordsmanship, and because he has seen blood, his moves are vicious, even a swordsman with a higher strength than him might be killed by him.
But there is indeed a huge gap in strength between him and Tang Ze.
He used his nerve reflexes to lock the trajectory of the enemy's sword early, and then took advantage of the gap between the opponent's old strength and new strength to adjust his posture, and defeated the enemy with one strike.
The absolute gap in strength was the reason why Tangze chose to deal with it closely.
Even with his non-dominant left hand, he could still beat the opponent, and he was even ready to shoot at any time to prevent the prisoner from escaping.
It's a pity that this guy is not a monster like Kyogoku after all. He immediately lost the ability to move as soon as he was kicked, leaving no chance for Karasawa to take a last-ditch shot.
"Speaking of which, where did you get the gun?"
After hearing Karasawa's words, Hattori Heiji, who put on white gloves to put away the murder weapon, couldn't help but said in surprise: "And it doesn't look like a police weapon, right?"
"Of course, this is not a real gun, it uses rubber bullets."
Tang Ze removed the magazine and showed the rubber bullets inside to the two of them, then smiled and said: "As for where it comes from, it is naturally the security equipment produced by its company.
Maybe in a few years, it will become a firearm worn by patrol officers during patrols."
"Oh? That's a big project." Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
