After getting information from Hu Wenzhi and Murakami that was enough to threaten these two people, Shuanghe and Keijiro set off on the road again.
But this time, they had only walked for half a day when something unexpected happened again.
That change was: Keijiro no longer planned to accompany Shuang Xie.
Of course, this is understandable.
Although Keijiro is a wanderer and a lover of wonders with almost no taboos, there is one thing that, at least at the moment, he really doesn't want to get involved with, and that is "being involved in the conspiracies and disputes of those daimyo".
As for why he didn't want to, if you are interested, you can learn about the first half of his life experience as the "Maeda Keiji" we know in history... I won't go into details about this part here, otherwise this chapter would be more than half
The child passed away.
In short, for Keijiro, who is now in his youth, he is very happy for him to associate with two pure "chivalrous men" and travel together, even if they come from a foreign country and have some
He didn't mind if the secret wasn't revealed to him; but... when Shuangxie interacted with Hu Wenzhi and Murakami, and used intelligence warfare to threaten those two people, this touched Keijiro's taboo.
So that night when Sun and Huang went to interrogate Hu Wenzhi and Murakami separately, Keijiro did not listen to either side of the conversation - at that time Keijiro had already decided that it was time to part ways with these two friends.
The next day, the three of them set off early in the morning and left the village where they stayed. At almost noon, Keijiro stopped and said goodbye to Shuangxie.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were not very surprised by this, because they had sensed some of the latter meaning from Keijiro's demeanor and actions last night.
The two of them would not force each other to stay. After all, Keijiro is a very good friend. Shuangxie had no intention of involving him in his secret mission, but there were some things that they couldn't say directly. Now that everyone
It's also a good thing to be able to say goodbye in a still harmonious atmosphere.
When the three of them parted, Sun Huang finally told Keijiro his Nakahara name, and Keijiro also revealed his other more formal name, "Maeda Benefit," and the two parties were officially acquainted.
Afterwards, they went their separate ways.
Shuang Xie continued to head towards the destination written on "that note", while Keijiro was originally traveling aimlessly, and it was the same wherever he went, so he just turned in a random direction and headed south.
At this time, neither of them could have imagined that in less than a month, they would meet again, and the place where they would meet was Zuo Yuan Country, where Shuang Xie finally found the "Xiu Long Bi".
But that’s a story later. Now let’s talk about Shuangxi’s whereabouts after saying goodbye to Keijiro.
In addition, in the past few days, Na Keijiro has been helping Shuang Xie as a "tour guide" and taught them many tips on traveling in the local area, so now Sun Huang has almost adapted to Japan's almost entirely mountainous environment.
I also gained some experience walking the mountain road here.
On this day, the two of them walked from noon to dusk and arrived at a place called "Tenjo Mountain" in the north of Hiroshima.
Although the name of this mountain sounds like one of our modern "5A-level scenic spots", it is actually just a barren mountain with nothing in it. It really has "no village in front and no shop in back", and the scenery is just average.
But for some reason, just when it was getting dark and Shuang Xie thought they were going to camp out on the mountain again, the shadow of a building... appeared in front of them.
The two of them followed the shadowy trail and approached, and finally found a set of stone steps. At the end of the stone steps, a shrine stood impressively.
"Ha~ha!" Sun Yixie was happy when he saw this shrine, "We are lucky. We didn't expect that there are such wild temples in the mountains of Japan. Then we can sleep on a roof tonight."
"
But Huang Donglai frowned at this moment, remained silent for a few seconds thoughtfully, and then said: "This place... seems to have evil spirits."
"What!" Upon hearing this, Sun Yixie, who had been slacking off just now, immediately raised his voice and even opened his eyes wide, "Is there anything wrong? We can do it even if we come to Japan.
Encountered a monster?"
"Nonsense, why are you choosing a place for this thing?" Huang Donglai said, "And there shouldn't be any term for 'demon' here. In their place, 'oni' is a kind of monster, and 'oni' is a kind of monster.
What we usually call 'ghost', they call it 'ghost' here."
"Oh~" Sun Yixie heard this and raised his eyebrows, "Brother Huang has something, do you know this?"
"Are you fake? Did you learn the Twelve Truths?" Huang Donglai also belongs to you and he dares to gasp if you say he is fat.
"Oh...then what exactly is in the shrine in front of you?" Sun Yixie then asked.
"Then...it's hard to say." Huang Donglai felt weak again, because he was really unsure, "After all, those who have evil spirits are not necessarily monsters. There may be some evil things or people, and it may even be in this building."
There is something unclean mixed into the building materials of the shrine itself... We still have to go in and find out..."
"Wait a minute!" Sun Yixie interrupted, "Why did you go in even if you knew it was dirty? Are you sick? You came to Japan to get rid of monsters for free, right? It's none of our business to have monsters in the deep mountains and old forests? Let's just take a detour.
Can’t you just run away and pretend you’ve never been here?”
"Oh~ I'm also a little curious about what these Japanese monsters are like." Huang Donglai is quite confident in his Taoist skills that he has only learned for half a year. He takes it for granted that he can handle anything he encounters. "Brother Sun, don't be a coward.
, what if the commotion inside is a female goblin?"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Yixie's eyes suddenly changed.
At this moment, swish, swish... Countless excellent Japanese animation works that he had read in the parallel world flashed through Brother Sun's mind like a revolving lantern.
"Well..." After a brief thought and hesitation, Sun Yixie continued with a serious face, "Then what you said... seems to make sense."
In this way, the two of them reached a consensus and prepared to enter the shrine to explore.
But they didn't know that at this moment, besides the two of them, there were already three people coming to the shrine.
The first route is to the ninjutsu master Masugi Juzo who came from Hasu Mimura and wants to investigate the details of the double harmony.
The second path is an old acquaintance of Shuang Xie, Onmyoji—Gamo Hayato.
As for the third group of people, there are four people, and all four of them are dressed as monk soldiers... I guess you have guessed that this group of people is from the same sect as Acharya Fang Yigen, who previously claimed to be a "monk of the Yixiang Sect" in Chuanpeng Village.
.
The above-mentioned people and Shuang Xie all happened to come to the same shrine on this night.
And in this "Tian Shang Shan Shrine", there are not just "people" like them...
