The 449th chapter rides a thousand miles alone (8)
Yixin sat cross-legged on the ground, hunched over, head hanging, one hand on the ground and the other on his forehead, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare, sweating profusely all over his body.
Aoki leaned down and patted his shoulder: "Take a deep breath, take your time, take a deep breath."
"Senior...why, why did you suddenly wake me up?" Yixin said in a feeble voice, but still said urgently, "As long as you persist..."
Aoki interrupted him: "There is no point anymore. Continuing to investigate in the dream will only increase the danger. Sorry, I used some rough methods to drag you back from the dream."
"I seem to have a feeling that if I persist a little longer, I'll be sick..." Yixin tried his best to remember, but he couldn't help but retched, his mind was in a state of confusion, and he couldn't think of anything.
Aoki sighed and put his arm around Yoshinobu's shoulders: "Let's look up."
Yixin looked up following his words, and everything he could see was flying banknotes, and people, people, people! This place was originally a transportation hub with dense crowds, but at this moment it was ten times more lively than usual, cheering and noisy.
, hitting his eardrums hard, pulling him back to reality from his half-asleep trance. The small area under their feet seemed to be the only calm island in the turbulent sea of people.
Yoshinobu's eyes widened in disbelief and he murmured: "This, this is?"
Aoki said: "In the final analysis, the exorcism barrier is just a strong hint that makes the affected people have reasons to leave immediately, but..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in the air. Yi Xin looked up into the distance and saw a huge airship floating slowly in the low altitude. Countless banknotes were spraying out from the pod. The exorcism barrier failed.
Aoki no longer needs to elaborate on the reasons. What he saw before him was a steady stream of ten-thousand-yuan bills flying all over the sky, easily accessible, chasing the wonders in the sky that were unimaginable even in his dreams. Almost all the reasons for wanting to leave suddenly changed.
Vulnerable.
"Isn't this really a dream?" Yixin stretched out his hand to grab a banknote from the air to see what happened.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he heard Aoki say: "Be careful, who knows what evil curse is cast on it?"
"Eh, evil curse?" When Yixin heard this, he immediately shrank his hands as if he was electrocuted.
Aoki laughed, and then said seriously: "If it were me, I would do this. Using paper money as a talisman, picking it up can be regarded as the simplest ritual. The moment you touch it, the conditions for casting the spell are fulfilled. Yixin
,Didn’t you notice the sign on the airship?”
"S,u,n,Sun...SunAlice?" The large SunAlice logo was painted on the fuselage of the airship in the most conspicuous way. Yoshinobu couldn't help but shouted: "This is not the club of the person mentioned during the intelligence exchange.
Name?"
Aoki nodded: "This is a provocation and a warning. The message he wants to convey is very simple. All these people who are chasing money have become his hostages."
"But, does this also prove that that person is indeed here? If we..."
Aoki pointed to the earphone and said: "You were still in a dream before, so you didn't hear it. There are eight such airships in total. I don't know where they came from. They appeared in the sky all over Tokyo almost at the same time. And they also
We cannot rule out the possibility of the other party making eastward attacks. It is difficult to narrow down the scope of the search based on this."
"What did the superiors say? Is there any new order?" Yoshinobu asked.
Aoki shook his head: "Maybe the top is in chaos now. We can just stay where we are."
As he spoke, he grabbed a ten thousand yuan bill from the air, folded it briefly, and put it into his pocket.
"Senior, be careful."
Aoki smiled and said: "Hey, if I don't go to hell, who will? Work overtime every day, work overtime every day, and I'll get some overtime pay."
"senior……"
"I'm just kidding, let me ask you, as a front-line agent of the Intelligence Headquarters, how should you deal with such an emergency?"
Aoki picked up another 10,000-yuan note and answered by himself: "Collect the sample immediately, keep it properly, and then return to the headquarters for analysis and testing to find out what kind of curse is on it, so as to provide a basis for subsequent countermeasures. Isn't this what we do?"
Is it your responsibility? Do you have to wait for orders from above for everything? You must be keen and confident to make your own judgments. Remember this, this is the first lesson of front-line action."
Yixin listened in awe and said: "Yes, senior."
"That's right." Aoki rubbed his hands, "If the sample size is too small, there will be no statistical significance." He said and put away a few more pictures.
"senior?"
At this moment, the roar of an explosion suddenly came from the distance. Following the sound, the golden light on the upper floors of a skyscraper flashed sharply, and then suddenly went out.
Aoki frowned: "That is the direction of the Imperial Palace, who is fighting?"
A new order came quickly from the headset. Aoki called out: "Come with me quickly. The higher-ups want to reorganize the Doufu Barrier around that building. There are not enough manpower, so we have been called in to help."
The luxury restaurant on the top floor of the building was now in a mess. The huge floor-to-ceiling glass, which was designed for guests to enjoy the city scenery while dining, exploded inch by inch. The strong wind roared in, blowing the tables, chairs and cutlery into a mess. Only one dining table remained motionless, as if with the
Another isolated world.
In front of the dining table, five burly men suddenly knelt down on the ground. All five of them were wearing black windbreakers of the same shape. They were obviously agents of the Yin-Yang Province. All of them were seriously injured. Some of the wounds were hideous and blood was still flowing out; some of them had bones.
The limbs were broken into pieces and twisted like twists; some had half of their limbs removed.
Their faces hardly resemble human shapes... What's even weirder is that there is no expression of pain on their faces. Instead, they show an expression of joy, a kind of sincere and pious satisfaction that drives them to kowtow in the direction of the dining table.
The whole body bowed to the ground as a gift, and they all muttered the following words in unison:
"Nine roads to open the barrier, nine roads to open the barrier. If anyone comes to chase me, I will abandon it from now on. If someone comes in a car, break both of their axes. If someone comes on horseback, his eyes will be darkened. If someone comes on foot, his feet will be swollen. Raise your troops."
I am ordered to hide myself and not dare to go. The star of the Big Dipper is thousands of miles away, but the enemy is chasing me. The morning glory and the bearded girl have turned into rivers and seas, rushing like laws and orders."
"Nine ways to open the barrier, nine ways to open the barrier..."
…
Behind the dining table, a woman is leaning lazily on a chair. She has a pair of small bare feet and is wearing a plain monk's robe. The style is the same as what Sun Suhe wears. There are a few spots on the sleeves that are not yet dry.
There was a lot of blood, but when it fell on her body, the faint blood seemed to have lost its bloody smell, and instead seemed to be stained by cherry blossoms, giving it a unique charm.
The sommelier in the restaurant stood behind her holding a bottle of expensive wine, looking intoxicated.
"Can you serve me some wine?" the woman asked, raising her glass.
The bright red wine poured into the glass, reflecting the woman's appearance. Her long hair was leisurely pulled into an elegant bun, and her pale complexion added a pitiful sense of frailty to her already exquisite facial features. Under the red wine
In the reflection, the eye waves flowed, revealing the fascinating and enchanting beauty.
The sommelier's chest felt hot and he accidentally spilled a few drops of wine. The wine fell on the back of the woman's hand. She was not angry. She just put down the wine glass with a smile and flicked her wrist. The remaining drop of wine flowed down.
Her fingers slid to her fingertips and were about to fall.
She glanced at the sommelier, and an extremely strong impulse suddenly exploded in the sommelier's mind. He couldn't help but fell to his knees. Everything in the world had nothing to do with him. He was willing to
Pay any price just to kiss that drop of residual wine.
"Would you like to read with the slave family? The jade girl on the top of the armor, the jade girl on the top of the armor."
The sommelier had a silly smile on his face and continued to chant like he was dreaming: "The jade girl on the armor, the jade girl on the armor."
"Come and protect me."
"Come and protect me."
"There are no ghosts to slander me, and those who see me will think it's a waste of money."
"There are no ghosts to slander me, and those who see me will think it's a waste of money."
"Open the door to me alone, but close the door to others to yourself."
"Open my door alone, close it to others..."
"The Jade Girl's back-closing body protection method? Why bother a common man when a woman is in front of you?" A strong male voice suddenly appeared without warning. The sound was not loud, but it hinted at the mysterious method of Buddhist mantras. There was a thunderous sound and it was cut off.
I heard the sommelier's ravings.
Almost at the same time as the sound appeared, a slender white hand gently pressed on the sommelier's shoulder. The sommelier snorted softly, lay down on the ground, forgot everything that had just happened, and fell asleep.
"Oops!" The girl covered her mouth and exclaimed softly, seeming to be surprised and happy at the same time. Two touching blushes flew up on her cheeks: "It's actually the Hongye Master who is here in person. I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me."
Even so, the girl had no intention of getting up to greet him. This seemingly ordinary polite words actually contained a lot of mystery.
The person who came was a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament and a pale face. He was wearing a black cassock and a bamboo hat. He seemed to be an ascetic monk. Although it was the first time for the girl to see this man, she could tell his personality at a glance.
The identity and appearance of the visitor are almost the same as those of Izumi Hongye, the contemporary head of the Izumi family.
They are exactly the same, and it is definitely not an acquired disguise. She is an expert in this way, how can she escape her eyes. Born like this, and dressed as a monk, this person's identity is already obvious. I heard that Izumi Hongye has a sibling.
His biological brother Quan Qingmao, I guess he is the person in front of me.
The feud between brothers has been a drama that has been played by nobles for thousands of years. Especially the Quan family has a unique status and strict rules. Only one person in a generation can inherit the position of head of the family. All authority, orthodoxy, mystery... are related to this "
"The only one" is mutually reinforcing, and his brothers and sisters must be exiled honorably, or go to a shrine to serve the gods for life, or go to a temple to meditate and worship Buddha.
If there was no knot of hearts between brothers, then Quan Qingmo should be reciting sutras honestly in a certain Buddhist hall right now and not step outside the world for the rest of his life, instead of suddenly appearing here.
The girl didn't notice his approach before Quan Qingmo appeared, which was a hidden disadvantage. She was frightened and annoyed because he ruined the spell-casting ritual, so she immediately responded with words, deliberately mistaking him for Quan.
Red leaves, and at the same time read "real person" as mahito.
The word "real person" has two pronunciations in Japanese. When pronounced as shinjin, it refers to the immortal in Taoist legends, which is an honorific title for a great achiever in Taoist practice. When pronounced as mahito, it refers to the ancient Japanese "eight colors". The first surname in "surname".
According to the "Nihon Shoki", in the thirteenth year of Tenmu, that is, 684 AD, Emperor Tenmu established the "eight-color surname" system.
The edict said: "Change the surnames of the clans and make them into eight-color surnames, so as to mix them with all the surnames in the world. The first is called Zhenren. The second is called courtier. The third is called Su Ni. The fourth is called Ji Cun. The fifth is called Taoist master. .The sixth one is, Chen. The seventh one is, Lian. The eighth one is, Daozhi."
Among them, "Zhen Zhen" is the most noble, and Emperor Tenmu himself took the posthumous title of "Ying Zhen Zhen".
It would be fine if she just mistakenly identified Izumi Moss as Izumi Hongye, but the girl deliberately mentioned "Zhenzhen", a noble surname that carries the glorious and heavy long history of the Izumi family. This directly pokes at Izumi Moss's heartache, personal The taste cannot be described in words.
If you dare to interrupt my spellcasting, I will punish you with a single word.
Once the opponent's mind is slightly shaken, there are all kinds of secret methods that can be used. It may seem calm and calm, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent, and a dangerous fight has begun.
Quan Qingmo took off the bamboo hat on his head, sat down next to the girl naturally, nodded slightly, and replied in Chinese: "Hongye is my brother's name, I am Xiaquan Qingmo."
He answered in Chinese, indicating that he didn't understand the mystery behind the woman's words, but just didn't care about it. He didn't want to get entangled in these word games, so he simply changed the language and conversed in Chinese that is commonly used by people outside the country. .
"Mr. Moss!" The girl's face was flushed, and she naturally showed an apologetic and shy look. She apologized repeatedly and whispered twice, "Moss, Moss," as if she wanted to cherish this name deeply. Keeping it deep in my heart, I followed her and chanted in Chinese:
"If you die in a moment of beauty, you will bury the jade jewel in the poor spring. How about the silence? The moss accumulates in the net. Looking at the green grass is gone, and it hurts for generations. I hate it so much!"
This sentence comes from Jiang Yan's "Moss Ode". It laments the depression and injustice of being buried despite having talents. The words between the lines still hint at the hatred between the Quan brothers. Moreover, the name is deliberately used to make an issue. It is really an unreasonable provocation. . But Quan Qingcai's expression did not change at all, and he seemed not to be dissatisfied at all. He smiled and said: "Jiang Yan hates people so much. I don't like to read him."
"Moss, moss..." Quan Qingmao pondered for a moment, "Taibai's poem says: Golden goose pistils are eaten during the season, and the moss chapter is read many times. Recreation in the eight extremes, and long circles in the nine Gai. This is my wish." This is a carefree and reclusive posture. .
After hearing this, the girl praised her, but she was secretly ready to take action. The pursuers from the Yin-Yang Province would arrive at any time. She didn't have time to continue fighting with this stinky monk. Since she couldn't get any advantage with words, she had to do it with her hands. True chapter.
At the critical moment, Quan Qingmo shook his sleeve and threw out two Go pieces, one black and one white.
"Does Onome Gozen recognize this?"
The chess pieces were spinning around on the dining table, and the girl took a wary look: "Poetic talent? No, is it a poetic weapon, a thing from Yuanyuan Island?"
"That's not right." She took another careful look, her expression suddenly changed, she raised her hand and took the two chess pieces directly into her hands. After looking at them carefully for a while, she asked in surprise: "That chess game at the Kyoto Imperial Palace was actually born. ?”
The girl looked deeply at the moss in the spring and said: "So that's it. It seems that the earthquake that broke out the 'other-transformation-free-heaven' in the Zhunu family was not an accident."
The spring moss smiled but said nothing.
The girl put away the two chess pieces and asked: "What does Mr. Moss need from the slave family?"
Quan Qingtai said: "As long as the female emperor does what she wants."
The girl chuckled lightly and gave him a look: "The monk is not honest."
"Is that also Mr. Moss's work?" The woman looked at the huge airship in the distant sky that was scattering cash.
Quan Qingcai shook his head slightly: "I think it is the generosity of Mr. Su He, who is the most popular person on Fangwai.com. This move has indeed caught the weakness of the Yin and Yang Province. Spending money to clear the way is a stupid thing that cannot be tolerated, but it can To achieve this, even I have to express my admiration."
"The stench of Yin-Yang Province can be smelled everywhere today." The woman sighed and covered her nose, "Is it also because of this Mr. Su He?"
Quan Qingmo smiled noncommittally, stood up and said: "Today's situation is special. It is very difficult to avoid the Yin-Yang Province, but even the Yin-Yang Province has areas where it is inconvenient to intervene. There is a cabinet minister who is willing to do his best for a female emperor..."
In the elevator of the bank building, the numbers on the display screen continued to decrease. The elevator descended all the way, and then the lights flashed. The numbers suddenly jumped and turned into three Xs. The elevator finally stopped at a floor that should not exist.
Zhulin Trading Company was completely reformed under the leadership of Sun Suhe, abandoning many businesses that harmed others and benefited others, such as arms, weapons and illegal drugs. However, many funds and special goods could not be properly handled in a short time, so they had to be temporarily sealed in secret warehouses in various places. Sun Suhe was in When he was on the subway, he ordered to withdraw the massive amount of cash, which finally relieved his urgent need at the critical moment just now.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when his banknote ability was still in play, Sun Suhe walked out of the elevator. In the huge underground space, rows of lights lit up one after another with the sound of footsteps. This was one of Zhulin's four secret warehouses in Tokyo.
