Tsuchimikado Seimei turned his head and looked at the south gate behind him. Many warriors silently surrounded him and Minamoto Yoritomo.
Minamoto Yoritomo held a token in his hand that was stained red with blood.
He came running with many warriors, but he did not speak, and took out the token to check from time to time.
"Don't look at it." Tsuchimikado Seimei spoke, took out a brocade bag from his arms, handed a horse cut out of a stack of white paper to Minamoto Yoritomo, and continued, "The Shikigami Order that Minamoto Yoritomo just gave you
, does not allow you to find the location of Minamoto no Ryitsuke.
When you crush the Shikigami Token, the wind tanuki will appear.
Your breath will be stolen by the 'Wind Raccoon Cat', and then dispersed in the wind. It will be sensed by the Taira family warriors and become the target of Taira Chimori's pursuit."
Minamoto Yoritomo was stunned when he heard this.
He calmly put away the token.
Tsuchimikado Seimei smiled and said: "A big man like Minamoto Norigō-sama cannot take his words seriously even if he is about to die.
There are various considerations hidden in it. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap he sets with your own death as bait."
Speaking of this, Tsuchimikado Seimei lowered his voice: "I was originally sent by him to monitor your every move - but unfortunately, he never thought that the monitor and the monitored had already reached cooperation.
."
"Now Chimori Taira has sent manpower to chase 'Inoue Canteru'.
After I solve the problem of Shuten Doji, who is the basis for the rise of the Taira clan, I will lead the many ghost warriors of the Genji clan to fulfill the promise between you and me – to surround and kill ‘Inoue Canteru’ and hand him over to you for disposal!
Inoue Canteruo is particularly dangerous, and Taira Chimori's manpower is used to consume his power.
When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins." A cold light flashed in Minamoto Noraigo's eyes, and he whispered a few words to Tsuchimikado Seimei, and then distributed the stack of paper horses in his hand to the many ghost warriors behind him.
He said to the warriors behind him: "Put the paper horse on your legs to speed up your foot strength.
We must rush as soon as possible to support brother Minamoto no Yorike!"
"yes!"
All the warriors responded one after another, and there was a rustle in the ranks.
Tsuchimikado Seimei looked at Minamoto Yoritomo calmly. After Minamoto Yoritomo put up the paper horse, he suddenly asked softly: "When you find Minamoto Yoritsuke, how are you going to get the supreme sword from him?
?”
Minamoto Yoritomo glanced at Tsuchimikado Seimei.
As he strode forward, he said in a voice: "Minamoto Yori Sutra is an indecisive person, more than gentle but not dignified.
As long as you reason with him,
He will be willing to hand over the 'dongjiri' to me."
Tsuchimikado Seimei stepped forward to follow Minamoto Yoritomo and continued: "We will go around from the south gate to the west ferry, and take a boat from there to leave Minamotoji's residence.
I will guide you, and I will definitely let you find the traces of Minamoto no Sutra."
"Thank you!
When I regain control of the Genji family, I will definitely reward you generously!" Minamoto no Yoritomo nodded solemnly.
…
Wow, wow...
under the dark sky,
The lake is also like a mirror that can swallow up all light.
A small boat was dragged upstream of the mirror, causing ripples on the lake surface, finally adding a bit of vitality to the quiet lake.
The boat slowly approached the shore.
Su Wu stood on the boat, overlooking the Genji mansion on the island in the middle of the lake.
The Genji Residence, facing the ferry, is still brightly lit and looks magnificent and beautiful.
"Sir, we've arrived."
The samurai of the Inoue family spoke in a deep voice and tied the boat to the shore.
Under a tree not far away, several Ping warriors who were chatting together clearly noticed the movement on the shore of the lake and gathered over holding torches.
The Taira samurai purged some of the Genji samurai who were patrolling around Mirror Lake.
Occupy this place and make it the rear of Taira Chimori and others who march straight into Genji's mansion.
The samurai instinctively felt that something was wrong with the people on the docked boat. They were not Taira samurai, so they naturally gathered to interrogate and pursue them.
"who?!"
The Taira samurai called to the silent boat that was docked on the shore.
He pointed the torch in his hand towards the boat on the shore, trying to reflect the actual scene on the boat.
The golden red light of the fire first reflected the scattered shadows on the ground.
Thick black liquid overflowed from the chaotic shadows - a figure appeared silently in front of the warriors - they watched the figure appear, and before they even had time to issue a warning, they found that their throats were forever
I can’t make any sound anymore!
The figure appeared from the shadow, and the black hand stretched out split into more than ten pythons, each coiled with a bloody sword, and swept across the necks of the Taira warriors like a windmill!
In the darkness there was only the muffled sound of heads falling to the ground.
Blood rippled on the ground.
Su Wu passed through a headless corpse and dragged An Tsuna and the Inoue family warriors out of the shadows - when the boat docked, Su Wu had already swallowed everyone into the shadow world.
When many Taira warriors saw the boat docking, they
There is no one in the boat!
"Bring the horses under the tree over."
Su Wu gave instructions to the samurai of the Inoue family, and then asked the remaining three people: "Which of you has been to Kyoto and walked around here? Do you know the nearby routes?"
His eyes focused on a thin-faced warrior.
The thin-faced samurai was the one who suggested that everyone leave by boat from the small ferry.
The other party observed it very carefully, and maybe he knew the terrain and paths around Genji's residence.
However,
This time the thin-faced warrior met Su Wu's gaze and shook his head in shame, saying that he did not know the route near Genji's residence.
"Catch a Heike samurai on the road and ask for directions."
Su Wu glanced at the corpses on the ground and without saying anything else, he took the reins of the horse handed over by his warriors and got on his horse.
A group of people drove their horses away from this place,
Sure enough, we met a group of Taira samurai halfway.
Killed six of them, leaving a timid one who asked about the nearby terrain and buildings in just a few words.
The leader of the five-man samurai team of the Inoue family, Yamazeno, killed the timid samurai with a sword. He sheathed his sword, turned around, walked into the team, and climbed on his mount.
"Going south from here, you can pass through a downtown area.
After passing through the downtown area, we can leave Heian-kyo." An Gang compiled the information obtained from the Taira warriors and gave advice to Su Wu.
Su Wu glanced at the Taira warrior who was killed by Yamazeno,
His face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult for people to see his true expression. Only his calm and emotionless voice could be heard: "He said before that if you walk more than ten miles to the east from here, you will be already there."
The 'Zhaoti Temple' that has cut off its incense?"
"Yes." An Gang nodded, looked up at Su Wu, whose face was blurry in the darkness, and asked cautiously, "Does Zhuzhao Jun plan to go to Zhaoti Temple? Although it is a long detour, it is not convenient for us to leave the city.
.
But no matter what decision Zhu Zhaojun makes, we fully support it."
Su Wu said ‘hmm’,
Then he said: "Just go east.
I want to go to Zhaoti Temple."
The temple that left the final trace of ‘Jianzhen’ – Zhaoti Temple.
During these days of lingering in Genji's residence, Su Wu had already heard some news about Jianzhen.
The great monk Jianzhen suddenly ‘disappeared’ more than ten years ago.
It is said that since the great monk Jianzhen disappeared from Zhaoti Temple without warning, the temple has often been invaded by evil spirits. There are legends related to this abandoned temple, such as "Temple Gate White Hand" and "Yuanxing Gate"
,'Female Monk','Huo Qianfang', etc.
Many pilgrims who went to Zhaoti Temple to worship after Jianzhen disappeared claimed to have encountered a certain kind of evil spirit.
Some people even disappeared into Zhaoti Temple.
As a result, Zhaoti Temple gradually lost its popularity, and the monks of the Vinaya Sect, who took Zhaoti Temple as their sect, had no choice but to abandon the temple, leaving only some elderly monks in Zhaoti Temple to clean the temple every day.
The remaining monks took alms and rebuilt the Jinguang Temple.
Make it the sect of the ‘Lü Sect’ founded by Jian Zhen.
There may be something really strange in Zhaoti Temple, or it may just be people spreading rumors, but the disappearance of the great monk Jianzhen in Zhaoti Temple already shows that this temple is unusual.
‘Jianzhen’ carried the ‘Stone of All Living Beings’ to Dongliu Island,
How does the ‘all living stone’ merge with the Dongliu Island iron stone vein to transform it into the ‘killing stone’ vein?
What is the origin of ‘all living beings stone’ and ‘ghost Buddha’?
If the 'Killing Stone Mine' is actually the 'Sentient Stone', then what's the rumor that 'Tamazo Mae' turned into a 'Killing Stone' after death? The elders of Kotetsu's family personally participated in the investigation of 'Tamazo Mae'.
' crusade,
This battle to defeat Tamamo-mae was carried out under the leadership of Jianzhen!
Jianzhen once mentioned in a letter to A Xiong that his research on the killing stone had achieved some results. He refined the 'Guide Binding Rope'. After that, did he continue to modify the 'Guide Binding Rope'?
?
How well does he understand the killing stone?
And, the most important issue - from 'Axiong''s narration, it can be understood that 'Jianzhen' has never accommodated Li Wei, and has never used 'Shengrenjia', and Jianzhen was only used more than ten years ago.
Missing from Zhaoti Temple.
More than two hundred years have passed since they crossed east to Dongliu Island!
How on earth could an ordinary person live for more than two hundred years without using the Human Armor?!
Su Wu did not expect to find the answers to all these questions in Zhaoti Temple.
I just hope I can get some clues about Jianzhen's whereabouts.
After he made his decision,
Everyone nodded in agreement without any objection.
Although Su Wu's decision will make it more difficult for everyone to leave Heianjing and escape the vortex of the 'War of Genpei', along the way, everyone's trust in Su Wu has reached an unprecedented level.
Moreover, everyone knows more clearly,
Following Su Wu, it would only be more difficult to leave Ping An Jing.
However, if I no longer follow Su Wu, I am afraid that I will not be able to save my life at all during this long night!
"Walk!"
Su Wu glanced at the faces of all his men and nodded to An Gang.
The group disappeared into the darkness.
Not long after they left, Ping Lingsheng arrived here with many ghost warriors.
Onmyoji Kazama got off his horse and looked at the corpse of the Heike samurai who had been killed by Yamazeno's sword. He dipped his fingers into some blood from the wound on the corpse, and used a small wooden knife to scrape the blood into the round hole in the center of the compass.
The pointer on the compass suddenly rotated several times,
Finally points east.
Fengjian climbed on the horse and Tongping Lingsheng said: "Second Young Master, Inoue Zhuzhao led people to Zhaoti Temple in the east."
"He killed so many of our Taira samurai along the lake shore, and he has become a life-and-death enemy of our Taira clan.
At this time, you still dare to go to Zhaoti Temple, and you still have the desire to find something secluded and beautiful?" Ping Lingsheng said in a cold voice, with a pair of eyes under the evil mask gleaming fiercely, "Let's go!
Surrounding Zhaoti Temple,
Strangulate Inoue Canteruu!"
"yes!"
More than a dozen ghost warriors responded loudly.
Imprisoned in a thorn wooden cage and carried by a tall ghost warrior, Taira Reiko pursed her lips, with inexplicable emotions in her eyes.
