In the end, Maeda Masao allowed Qi Xuansu to leave.
I wanted to leave with Qi Xuansu, but Qi Xuansu declined. After all, the conference was just the beginning, and there were other things to do later. It was difficult for me to leave due to both emotions and reasons.
The two met by chance and will meet again in the future.
White looked at Qi Xuansu's leaving figure and said nothing.
Maeda Masao took out a box of hawks and arranged for his subordinates to give money to the rondos present. Then he came to White's side and asked, "Metropolitan White, what do you think?"
White pondered for a moment and said, "I felt the fluctuations of divine power in his body."
The Holy Court is based on divine power, and is an expert in using divine power. From paladins to priests, almost everyone is inseparable from divine power. People in the Holy Court are naturally very sensitive to divine power.
"Divine power?" Maeda Masao narrowed his eyes slightly, "How can an Onmyoji have divine power? It's a bit strange." ??
White said, "No matter who he is, he can't make any big waves. Even if he informs the Prime Minister and the Taoist sect, what will happen? In fact, even if the Taoist sect's senior officials guess, they can guess pretty well. As long as they are not caught.
Daomen catches the current situation on the spot, and there is room for maneuver in everything."
Masao Maeda pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think so. I think it's better to act more safely. If we let him leave like this, there will be too many variables and we cannot leave this hidden danger."
White said lightly, "Ghosts are rampant in Ise today. It is reasonable for a lone Onmyoji to die at the hands of ghosts."
A look of cruelty flashed across Maeda Masao's face, and he said, "That's why he can't leave Ise, no, let him leave Isshi County."
White rubbed the Holy Emblem on his chest with his slender fingers and said casually, "I can't come forward, you will handle it."
Maeda Masao stopped talking and waved.
A masked ninja appeared from the shadows and came quietly behind Masao Maeda, waiting for orders without saying a word.
Masao Maeda ordered, "Bring that Onmyoji's head back to me."
The ninja said nothing, just bowed slightly, and then disappeared into the darkness again.
White asked, "Is this the famous Iga ninja? Or is it the Koga ninja who is as famous as the Iga ninja?"
Maeda Masao did not answer directly, "The Iga Hattori clan is the royal ninja of the Prime Minister. Most of the other Iga ninjas are attached to Buddhism or Tianmen, and the Koga ninjas are loyal to the imperial court. Those who can really look up to our Taoist sect, in fact,
Not many. Ninjas are like cats, they live and eat everywhere, samurai are like dogs, they don’t mind being poor. Compared to ninjas, I am more willing to believe in samurai.”
White did not pursue the question.
, he was more of a childhood curiosity about the mysterious ninja and had nothing to do with anything else.
White put down the Holy Emblem in his hand and suddenly asked, "Will Yoshida Yoshiaki hinder our cooperation?"
Maeda Masao's expression changed slightly, "That's not the case, is it?"
White showed the unique arrogance of Westerners and said, "We, the Holy Court, are not giving you assistance so that you can make irresponsible remarks about us. What if you regret it when it comes time to fulfill the agreement? Are we going to lose all our money?"
"
Masao Maeda was silent for a moment and said slowly, "I promise you, such a thing will never happen."
White laughed and said, "Your people don't believe me. They think everything they say is false. You have to give me real gold and silver before you believe me. This principle also applies to you. The guarantees you say are false.
I can’t believe it, I want to see actual action.”
Masao Maeda asked with some difficulty, "What practical actions do you want to take?"
White stretched out his hand to hold Maeda Masao's shoulders and leaned close to his ear. "You know, let him die. This is your sincerity."
Maeda Masao fell silent.
White continued, "As long as I see sincerity, I will immediately provide an additional 600,000 yuan in aid."
Maeda Masao still looked embarrassed, "Yoshida-sensei is very prestigious, and he has a good relationship with Mr. Katsura. If Mr. Katsura finds out about this, I'm afraid..."
White directly interrupted Masao Maeda's unfinished words: "One million."
Anyone who acts as an envoy will have a certain amount of money, which can be used flexibly according to the situation. This is the case for Qi Xuansu, and the same is true for White.
Maeda Masao was truly silent this time.
White patted his shoulder, "My dear friend, I have been in the East for many years and I like Eastern learning very much. Oriental people are always philosophical. People in the Central Plains have a saying that there is no day without two days. Don't you think the thirteen leaders
Is it really too much? In my humble opinion, there should be only one sun within the Taoist Sect."
Maeda Masao's eyes widened suddenly. He could remain indifferent in front of Jin Yin, but at this moment, his breathing was a little heavier.
White continued, "Maeda-kun, Gui Shanxing, who is being hunted by Daomen like a lost dog, can't help you. Tianmen and the Fenglinzhou court can't help you either. We are the ones who can help you. We don't want to be the regent Guan Bai or Zhengyi Da of Fenglinzhou."
General?"
Maeda Masao
Looking at White, veins appeared on his forehead and his eyes were bright, giving him a somewhat demonic attitude.
On the other side, Qi Xuansu was waiting for the approaching pursuers.
As a veteran, he can roughly judge Maeda Masao's thoughts. He doesn't want to kill people in public, which will affect unity, but he can't rest assured. The best way is to let him go on the surface, and then secretly send people to hunt him down and let him die quietly.
It was silent and could not be traced afterwards. After all, in the environment of Ise, dead people are a common thing.
It can be said that the moment Masao Maeda decided to let him go, Masao Maeda had already had murderous intentions.
If Qi Xuansu is really a Harima-ryu onmyoji, then his only way to survive is probably to show his loyalty on the spot. No matter what method he uses, he must be with the majority of people, or he must take the initiative to imprison himself and find out the truth, so that he can win
to a glimmer of hope.
However, Qi Xuansu was not an Onmyoji, but a Taoist priest from the Taoist sect. The man named Hyojiro actually guessed correctly after accidentally bumping into him, that he was from the Taoist sect.
Didn't Maeda Masao want to use the harsh environment of Ise to cover up his murderous actions? Then he could also let those who pursued him die at the mouth of ghosts.
While waiting, Qi Xuansu used the method of an alchemist to draw a formation on the ground. It was not complicated or clever. It was a very common alchemist formation. Anyone can learn it. There is no threshold. It is mainly used to block arrows.
Arrows or hidden weapons, after all, the alchemist emphasizes the spirit but not the body. If the body is too strong and the blood is strong, it will suppress his spirit and affect the power of spells, so he cannot be as thick-skinned as a martial artist.
Soon, two of the fastest ninjas appeared in Qi Xuansu's sight. One of them held a fire blunderbuss and fired directly at Qi Xuansu, while the other ninja shot out many "Qianben", thin and dense, in the night.
, like a cloud of misty rain.
Whether it was the projectiles of the fire gun or Qianben, they were all blocked by the formation.
"It's Onmyoji's barrier!"
The two ninjas knew that long-range methods would not work. One of them drew his ninja sword, and the other drew a chain gun from his waist and attacked Qi Xuansu from both sides.
Behind them, seven or eight ninjas came one after another, and the sound of breaking through the air was endless.
Qi Xuansu did not want to reveal his true identity, so he did not kill him. Instead, he opened a "Yin and Yang Gate" that connected the ghost country and the cave.
Onmyoji has a way to fight the enemy, called Shikigami, which is to take ghosts and gods as one's own and enslave ghosts and gods to fight for themselves. The level of cultivation that can control ghosts and gods is closely related to one's own realm.
This method
Created by the ancestors of the Tsuchimikado clan, it is the signature method of Tsuchimikado-ryu onmyoji, and other schools of onmyoji can also learn from it.
Qi Xuansu naturally cannot summon shikigami, but he can pretend to summon shikigami.
But to deal with these small fish and shrimps, there is no need for the three great yin objects to come forward in person. After the previous three attacks, Qi Xuansu discovered that the three great yin objects can judge the enemy's strength through the "Yin Yang Gate". For example, Master Wan judged that the enemy was just an ordinary celestial being.
It's just one punch.
As expected, what came out of the "Yin Yang Gate" this time was not Master Wan, Mrs. Bai, and Mr. Yin, but a little girl with pink makeup and jade makeup. She looked about eleven or twelve years old and was very cute.
It was none other than Mr. Yin’s granddaughter, Miss Yin.
In fact, this little girl Yin just looks young, but she is actually much older than Qi Xuansu. Moreover, Mr. Yin is a ghost creature, so where did he have children? If he has no children, where does a granddaughter come from? Most of them were picked up.
If you look closely, you will see that although Miss Yin is cute, her skin is as white as translucent, and her big black eyes have no white in them, which is a bit strange.
When the little girl saw the two ninjas attacking, her mouth immediately grew bigger, and then her head became more than ten times bigger. She saw only a small body, a big head, and then a big mouth, with the corners of her mouth grinning all the way to the ears.
, the teeth inside were as sharp as knives, and it bit a ninja in half with just one bite. His legs fell to the ground, and his upper body was still in his mouth.
The little girl vomited out the half of the body and made a few noises, disgusted by the taste.
In just this moment, the half of the corpse had been corroded by the corpse energy.
The other ninja was so frightened by this scene that he turned around and tried to escape. The little girl opened her mouth and sucked in again, creating a huge suction force like a bottomless black hole. No matter how hard the ninja struggled, he was still sucked in, first his legs, then his
The waist, then the arms and the head were finally swallowed whole. I don't know how this small body could accommodate it. It may be that it just reached the mouth and was corroded before it could be swallowed.
The little girl jumped up, her speed was extremely fast, and there was even an afterimage, as if she had obtained Madam Bai's true message, and she killed all the ninjas without giving them a chance to escape.
In this way, no one who comes to examine the corpses will think that these ninjas were killed by humans. Even if the top Onmyoji personally examined the corpses, they were still killed by ghosts.
The little girl returned to Qi Xuansu and was about to speak. She couldn't help but bent down and vomited.
Qi Xuansu had a strange look on his face and could only pat the little girl's back and comfort him, "You must have eaten something bad. Just spit it out and it will be fine."
