Inside the treasure ship, Bajie opened his eyes sleepily and patted his round belly, feeling that he had lost weight.
It's not that I haven't eaten well. Compared with the ginseng tree in Gaolaozhuang, which is a magic weapon to expel pollution, the fruit trees here produce very delicious spiritual fruits, which can be said to be a feast for the eyes. But I am worried about the danger in the mist, so I put it instead.
I am hungry and thin.
Bajie actually wanted to find out how Dongsheng Shenzhou became what it is now, but when he thought about the gods in heaven sleeping in the peach garden, and the Buddhas in Lingshan, there was no news, he immediately felt that he was still honest.
It's better to guard Gaolaozhuang and don't act like a hero.
But things went against expectations, and Xiao Bailong's voice came from outside: "Second senior brother, Tianshi Li invited us to discuss matters!"
At the end, he added: "It's not about entering the mist, but it's related to the underworld." When Bajie heard the first half of the sentence, he wanted to continue pretending to be asleep. After hearing the last part, he responded curiously: "Underworld? Come on! Come on!"
When Bajie arrived staggeringly, Wusheng Old Mother, Xiao Bailong, and Dragon Girl had gathered together, and there was a shadow floating on the deck, which was Xiaoqian.
After Xiaoqian regained her identity as Princess Chang'an, it was originally unlikely that she would go out, but after all, she didn't like her status in the palace, and the matter was indeed closely related, so she went along secretly and appeared as an assistant at this time.
"Cure the Tenth Palace Yama?"
When Li Yan revealed his purpose, Bajie was shocked.
What this person did was truly earth-shattering!
The underworld was so humble back then, and was beaten so hard by Brother Monkey that it didn't even dare to fart. But now, as the only functioning Shinto institution, there are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys are kings, and the Ten Palaces of Yama have been crazy for so long. How can it be?
Easy to cure?
All the immortals knew the difficulties, but they also had high fighting spirit. The old mother Wusheng said: "If you need merit to protect yourself and clean up the chaos in the underworld, it is indeed the best way to enter this mist."
The dragon girl felt sorry for her third brother who had been in a stalemate with the underworld for hundreds of years and almost died. She clenched her fists and said, "It's time to clear out all those evil spirits!"
On the contrary, Xiao Bailong was not eager for revenge, but was more concerned about the possibility of success: "The ten palaces of Yama are transformed into chaos, and the underworld is dangerous and unpredictable. How sure are you?" Li Yan said: "Originally, I only had ideas. Recently, my cultivation has been a little bit better.
Only when I make progress can I have the confidence to put it into practice. My original intention was to ask you to protect me after investigating Gao Tianyuan, but now the order has been changed."
Xiao Bailong nodded heavily: "We have no shirking responsibility, and we will do our best!"
Wusheng Old Mother and Dragon Girl also expressed their support, while Bajie's eyes were rolling.
Even after seeing Bajie's hesitation, Li Yan did not report good news or bad news, but revealed a key difficulty: "Before her death, Long Po, the mother of the All Saint Princess, revealed a secret. Among the ten palaces of Yama, there was a person who obeyed the orders of the underworld.
The mastermind behind the chaos...what she saw may not be true, she may have been misled, but this matter must be guarded against." The immortals frowned.
Ten kings of hell have merged into one and become a combined monster. It is very difficult to separate them safely, not to mention that there is a spoiler inside who will definitely interfere if necessary.
And the mastermind behind the underworld will not sit back and let the Tenth Palace of Yama escape from control, but will take action at a critical moment. Amid internal and external troubles, can the four gods alone protect Li Yanzhouquan who is undergoing surgery?
The atmosphere became heavy.
A scene flashed in Xiao Bailong's mind, which was exactly the appearance of the Tenth Palace Yama climbing along the passage: "How about we lure the Tenth Palace Yama to the two realms and treat it?"
But after he finished speaking, he shook his head again: "It's difficult! It's difficult! It's difficult! There was no heavenly master to heal the gods and cleanse the filth, and Yama of the Ten Palaces entered the human world. Now the master behind the scenes is on guard and is in the underworld. How can it be so?
Will you let Yama out?"
The old mother Wu Sheng suggested: "It is better to go to the underworld to explore first. If we can bring out the Tenth Hall Yama, we can treat him immediately. If not, we can return as soon as possible."
Bajie muttered: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get in..."
All the immortals discussed, but felt that there was no effective way, until Xiaoqian stretched out her hands, and a picture scroll rose, and their eyes were attracted to it: "What is this thing?" There are hundreds of ghosts running rampant in the picture scroll, and the demons are dancing wildly. It is the former Onmyoji master.
The captured picture of the Night Journey of One Hundred Ghosts.
But compared to the resentment and despair at that time, under Xiaoqian's guidance over the years, the ghosts and monsters inside have settled down to their own fate. Later, Zhu Shisan and Chen Hong came to lead them.
Li Yan introduced: "This is a magic weapon in the Japanese spiritual world. There are many ghosts in it that cannot enter reincarnation and cannot be reincarnated, which aggravates the injustice of the underworld and the chaos of reincarnation." Xiao Bailong's eyes lit up: "If we let these people accumulate for thousands of years
The souls of the dead enter reincarnation, and the underworld is facing an impact. Maybe it can help create opportunities for us!"
Wusheng Old Mother said: "The number of these ghosts is finally a little small..."
Li Yandao: "The Map of One Hundred Ghosts at Night is not the only one in this volume. Japanese practitioners seem not to participate in ordinary battles, but in fact they often go to the battlefield to save themselves, collect the souls of the dead, and refine the scroll. In addition, this place is filthy and there are so many ghosts and ghosts.
I’m afraid it’s unimaginable.”
Xiao Bailong and Wu Sheng’s old mother said happily: “That’s just right!”
Li Yan looked at Bajie: "The Japanese country believes in Buddhism, can the power of the altar be used here?"
Bajie puffed up his belly and said: "In the four major continents, all sentient beings worship and perform all Buddha deeds. They are all my pure altars. It's just that this place is poor and doesn't look down on it!"
Li Yan said: "As for the capture of the Hundred Ghosts' Night Journey from the Japanese cultivators, I bothered the Bodhisattva to take action."
Bajie was happy: "It's done! Wrap it on the old pig!"
The other three immortals sneered secretly. This one liked to bully the small ones the most, and he also lost face. But Li Yan warned: "The Japanese country has three artifacts that can suppress the country, and they seem to have connections with the underworld. After all, they should not be underestimated."
Bajie chuckled and pushed the ginseng tree to the ground: "This tree is used as a rake, which is a bit weak, but it can conquer demons and demons. It's no problem!"
"please!"
Yan Shifan followed Kato Danzo and entered the hall under the curious attention of a group of Japanese guards.
Takeda Shingen was tall and mighty, only one head shorter than Yan Shifan, but sitting upright on the table, his majesty cultivated through long battles gave him a breathtaking sense of oppression.
Kato Danzo prostrated himself, almost lying on the ground: "Greetings to the owner!"
Naturally, it was impossible for Yan Shifan to kneel down and bow. He looked at him for a few times and bowed: "Yan has met the Takeda family governor."
Since entering the Kingdom of Kai, Yan Shifan was quite shocked when he visited the soldiers' drill not long ago.
It must be admitted that although the scale of Japan's Warring States Period is incomparable to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the melee that lasted for more than a hundred years, after layers of screening, and the forces that emerged from the jungle of the jungle cannot be underestimated, and must not be treated as such.
A simple summary of county-level armed fighting.
Not to mention that after the end of the Warring States Period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's military force was unprecedentedly powerful. In just two months, Korea was destroyed and all the three capitals and eighteen provinces fell. Even Takeda Shingen's subordinates now have such spirit.
Shendu is much stronger than the Ming army. Of course, Yan Shifan has never seen the Zhejiang soldiers trained by Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang. Compared with the veterans in the capital, the difference is really clear.
Because of this, he also became excited about what he was going to do next.
What does it mean to bully the weak?
Only by killing the strong can you feel at ease!
Takeda Shingen didn't know this person's psychological activities and looked at him critically, without much respect.
No matter how powerful they were in the past, they are still a lost dog now. Fusang people only value the strong and never look down on the weak.
"Confucian scholars from the Ming Dynasty who have come from afar, welcome you!"
He nodded majestically and made an invitation gesture. After Yan Shifan sat down, he asked emphatically about the vastness and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. After hearing this, he sincerely sighed: "The middle land is rich, far more than Fusang. I hope to get your support.
Let us, the Kingdom of Kai, also become a powerful country!"
Takeda Shingen looked down on Yan Shifan, but he did not deny his value. After all, this man was a leader of the Ming Dynasty, with extensive knowledge, and he came in Wang Zhi's boat. His land could not produce salt, so he could only buy it from all over at high prices and endure oppression.
, If we can open up a sea route and buy salt continuously, it will be a great help to the hegemony.
Yan Shifan sneered in his heart and was perfunctory on the surface, chatting and getting closer. After some exchanges, despite the translation barrier due to language barriers, Takeda Shingen was also shocked by Yan Shifan's erudition, and his attitude suddenly changed. He happened to be having a meal.
After a while, he stood up pretending to be affectionate and took Yan Shifan's arm, making a gesture of swimming together.
"You're really looking for death!"
Yan Shifan almost laughed out loud, but in Takeda Shingen's view, it was quite normal. It was difficult for this criminal to survive in the Ming Dynasty. He fled to the Japanese country and could only flatter himself. Judging from his body shape and steps, he was also a Confucian scholar without martial arts.
, so there is no need to be overly vigilant. In order to monopolize communication with Ming Dynasty, he summoned him secretly without any retainers.
All this fulfilled Yan Shifan's wish. He rolled his eyes and asked, "I admire your country's Buddhism very much. I want to meet those eminent monks who subjugate demons. I wonder if Governor Takeda can recommend them?"
Takeda Shingen said: "Master is practicing in seclusion. I'm afraid there will be inconveniences recently..." In fact, during these days, the practitioners in temples and shrines disappeared in a hurry for unknown reasons.
"Destiny is mine!"
After confirming that the practitioner was not nearby, Yan Shifan was overjoyed.
In the opponent's territory, unable to withstand the slightest hesitation, he stretched out his palm and held Takeda Shingen's wrist.
"idiot……"
Takeda Shingen suddenly felt a chilling sense of crisis, but it was too late to break free.
Compared with the unfamiliarity of killing Zhao Wenhua at that time, Yan Shifan seemed to be very familiar with it at this moment. An indescribable fire point sprouted from his wrist and instantly became a prairie fire, spreading and wrapping around his entire body.
The No. 1 military strategist of the Warring States Period, the Tiger of Kai didn't even have time to scream, and turned directly into a torch. Countless dead souls vaguely rushed towards him, biting his flesh and blood.
In just ten short breaths, under the stunned gazes of the surrounding people, Takeda Shingen, who led the prosperous Kingdom of Kai, disappeared. In his place, there was a cleanly chewed skeleton, with the skull shaking on the spine, powerless.
The ground fell down.
"The first one!"
Yan Shifan used a pocket in his outer robe to catch the skull, and shouted: "Kato Danzo, why don't you do it?"
