Chapter 158: Investigation and Counter-Investigation
As night fell, darkness enveloped the entire Ba Ying Island, and a full moon hung in the sky, casting a bright light.
The entire Feimu Village is shrouded in a faint silver glow, giving people a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Three bells rang through the night sky. The melodious sounds of these three bells seemed to be transmitted by a magical power, which shocked people's spirits and made them feel extremely comfortable.
"Dong dong dong!"
Three more bells rang from the direction of the shrine. The bells were melodious, as if a sacred breath was permeating the air, making people involuntarily have the urge to worship devoutly.
This is the bell of Fei Kimura Shrine. This bell will ring every time the gods are worshiped at the altar. This bell represents the will of the gods coming to the world and restoring peace to the world.
At this moment, the people in Feimu Village were quiet, listening to the miraculous bells.
As the bell ringer, only the village chief was qualified to be the bell ringer, but today the person was changed. The village chief Jiujin was watching from the side, while Yu Yiboben struck the bell of the shrine with a serious look on his face.
He held the wooden block with both hands and kept waving it. Circles of ripples on the surface of the bell spread in all directions, as if a powerful wave of power was escaping.
This is a ceremony for the replacement of old and new in Feimu Village, but the three Yunmo people who were resting at Baoben's house did not participate.
Yun Mo was standing on a hillside not far from Feimu Village. He was wearing black night clothes. He had a tall and slender figure, an angular face, and eyes as bright as stars.
"After tonight, we can no longer ask Yu Yi to protect capital. We have to ask the village chief to protect capital. Although the official document submitted to the shogunate has not yet come down, after today, he will be the village chief in the hearts of the villagers." Yun Mo said lowly.
He murmured, his tone a little wistful.
This is a good thing and a bad thing for capital preservation. The good thing is that his status has risen, and even if he appears again, he will not be questioned. The bad thing is that the eyes of fools will be on him.
"Actually, I don't quite understand why you are so interested in this small village." Miyu Chiyo came over. At this time, she was also wearing a night clothes, with her black hair tied above her head, looking quite heroic.
.
Yun Mo turned his head and took a look, looking at Yu Yuqianyo beside him, and thought to himself, not to mention, you look quite beautiful in your night clothes.
"Because of the crystallized bone marrow, as long as there is a problem in the snake bone mine over there, we will know almost immediately. Those who are staring at the crystallized bone marrow also think so." Yun Mo explained lightly.
Gogochiyo was still a little confused and asked: "Shouldn't there be people from the shogunate stationed in a place like this? They should get the news faster."
Yun Mo smiled and said: "They knew it, but they never reported it. Since they didn't tell me, I had to find it myself."
Yu Yuqianyo wanted to ask something else, but Yun Mo didn't want to say any more and changed the subject: "Have you found the location? The road we took during the day cannot be walked, and the general has cut off the road."
Yun Mo was a little helpless. That earth-shattering sword smashed the land into pieces. Not to mention the way, even the underground mountains were probably cut apart. This sword was simply devastating.
Gogochiyo nodded and said: "You can also find the location by walking into the mountains from the road out of the village, but it's a bit detoured. Let Hayao pay attention to it from above. The characteristic of that place is that there is a particularly big tree, which is larger than
The trees around are much taller."
"Did Zaoyou hear that?" Yun Mo shouted to the tree above his head.
"I know, boss, we are sneaking into the mountains. Do you want everyone to hear it?" A soft voice came from the gaps in the leaves, making people laugh.
Yun Mo looked at the mountains and forests in the distance with a thoughtful look on his face. Wasn't that just to let others hear?
As the night grew darker, Yunmo and Yugochiyo walked towards the mountain forest. The two of them had excellent night vision, so they didn't even hold a torch.
Moreover, their steps were very light, making no sound of wind, just like cats walking in the jungle, without attracting anyone's attention.
As soon as the two left, a dark figure flashed out from behind the hill. His eyes glanced in the direction the two left, with a dark look in his eyes.
"What kind of king of ninjas? I didn't even notice him, so he was in vain. Killing those people in the daytime is really embarrassing to everyone."
With that said, the Fool and the spies disappeared into the darkness like the wind, and all of this was discovered by people hiding in the dark.
The Fool and his spies were walking through the mountains and forests, and he wanted to report back to the executive officer the information that Yun Mo had entered the mountains.
Originally, I wanted to send a signal flare to the skirmishers, but that was a last resort, a tactic that was only used after Yun Mo discovered it.
Since Yun Mo was so slow that he didn't even notice him, why did he send out a signal flare to expose himself? He could hear all the information anyway.
There is silence among the mountains. Apart from the chirping of insects, there is only the rustling of fallen leaves in the wind. Occasionally, there are crisp sounds when birds fly by.
The Fool and the spies were coming and going on the branches like the wind, but suddenly he noticed a murderous aura, and his body suddenly stagnated and stopped on a big tree.
He turned around and saw a ball of white snow flying toward him between the branches. The white ball of snow was extremely conspicuous in the dark night and reflected a dazzling light under the moonlight.
"What is that?" A flash of horror flashed in the eyes of the Fool's spies. Feeling the threat of death coming towards him, his face turned pale.
The Fool and the spies screamed in their hearts that something was wrong. They took out the flare and were about to release it when their hands felt cold.
The white patch of snow had already arrived in front of him. It turned out to be a woman with white clothes and white hair. The long knife in her hand cut off his hand holding the signal bomb.
When the Fool and the spies were about to scream in pain, the long knife had already been inserted into his throat. The icy coldness instantly invaded his whole body, making him unable to scream. His mouth was slightly opened, and a stream of blood flowed out.
The woman who quickly understood the Fool's spies was Xue Ji from the final episode. She coldly pulled out the long knife, and the blood splashed out flying in the air, dyeing the branches red, but there was no trace of blood on Xue Ji's body.
On the body.
Although the blood of the Fools did not stain her, the bloody fingerprints left by Yun Mo on her shoulders still remained.
She put away the long knife, then looked at the dead fools, snorted coldly, then flicked her sleeves, a gust of wind blew up, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
