Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

In contrast, Yu Feng's attire appeared much more casual.

He was dressed in casual sportswear, carrying a backpack, and his face showed a mix of youthful innocence and curiosity, making him look like a Chinese student visiting the land of cherry blossoms.

Unlike Lin Beichen, Yu Feng was not fluent in the Japanese language and could only speak a few simple everyday phrases. Therefore, he did not need to disguise his identity and could enter the country as a Chinese tourist.

In this film, the two play the roles of friends from different regions in Japan—Lin Beichen, as a "local scholar," accompanies Yu Feng, a tourist visiting Tokyo, to tour the city's attractions.

This identity setting is both reasonable and natural, and it can also facilitate their subsequent actions.

That afternoon, the two took the Shinkansen to Mount Fuji.

Sitting on the train, Lin Beichen gazed at the cherry blossom trees rushing past the window, his fingers lightly tracing the ancient book he carried with him.

He borrowed this ancient book from the Huaxia Ancient Books Museum before setting off. It contains knowledge about the mountains and dragon veins of East Asian countries.

After a series of calculations and analyses, Lin Beichen was able to confirm that a very important dragon vein was hidden deep within Mount Fuji, and this dragon vein was the key to supporting the fortune of the Sakura Kingdom.

"There's a dragon vein around Mount Fuji,"

Lin Beichen closed the ancient book, turned to look at Yu Feng who was admiring the scenery beside him, and said in a low voice, "Our mission this time is to sever this dragon vein."

"Once this dragon vein is destroyed, the fortunes of the Sakura Kingdom will be severely damaged. Not only will they find it difficult to continue their biological warfare program targeting China, but their domestic situation will also become unstable. In that case, we will have achieved our objective in coming to the Sakura Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of excitement flashed in Yu Feng's eyes, but he immediately frowned again:

"Severing the dragon vein? That sounds simple, but isn't Mount Fuji a famous tourist attraction in Japan? I did some research before, and apart from some staff and tourists, there don't seem to be any obvious defensive measures there. Can we really succeed smoothly?"

Lin Beichen shook his head, his eyes sharpening:

Things are not as simple as you think.

Mount Fuji appears to be completely undefended, but in reality, it harbors hidden secrets.

Think about it carefully. How could the Sakura Kingdom not have people guarding such an important dragon vein location? It's just that their defenses are quite covert and not easily detected.

As they were talking, the train arrived at the station at the foot of Mount Fuji.

The two followed the flow of people out of the station and walked along the mountain trail towards the summit of Mount Fuji.

Along the way, Lin Beichen walked while quietly observing his surroundings.

He noticed that although there were tourists everywhere along the way, as well as some ascetics dressed in traditional clothing and holding ritual implements, many of these people had an unusual aura in their eyes and postures. They seemed to be leisurely sightseeing, but in fact they were secretly observing the people around them, especially Chinese tourists like Yu Feng, who were more wary of them.

“Look closely at those seemingly ordinary tourists and ascetics,”

Lin Beichen gently nudged Yu Feng with his elbow and said in a low voice, "They are all experts from the Yin-Yang School of Japan, responsible for secretly protecting the dragon vein of Mount Fuji."

These people are extremely well disguised; most people wouldn't notice anything amiss. However, if we make the slightest move, such as trying to approach the location of the dragon vein, they will immediately detect the anomaly. At that point, our identities will be exposed, and our operation will completely fail.

Following Lin Beichen's gaze, Yu Feng indeed found that although those people looked no different from ordinary tourists on the surface, they walked steadily and had sharp eyes. In particular, when they passed by them, they would subconsciously pause for a moment, as if to confirm their identities.

Yu Feng felt a little nervous and subconsciously tightened his grip on the backpack strap.

Lin Beichen noticed Yu Feng's nervousness, gently patted his shoulder, and reassured him:

"Don't worry, as long as we don't reveal our intentions, they won't take action against us for the time being."

However, we must remain vigilant at all times. Although the Japanese people were previously in a state of panic due to internal screenings, they are now even more wary of people from abroad.

Think about it, when you entered the country this time, didn't you undergo a more rigorous screening than usual?

Yu Feng nodded, still feeling lingering fear as he recalled the scene when he entered the country:
"That's right! The customs officers repeatedly checked my identity information, asked about my itinerary and accommodation in Japan, and even checked the contents of my phone. If I hadn't prepared a detailed travel plan in advance and given the staff in charge of the review some benefits, I probably wouldn't have been able to enter the country smoothly at all."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Lin Beichen's eyes:
"Money can move mountains; this saying applies everywhere. As long as the profit is enough, there will always be some people willing to take risks for money. However, we cannot rely on this method, after all, this operation is extremely risky, and a slight mistake could lead to utter ruin."

The two walked along the path for nearly two hours, admiring the magnificent scenery of Mount Fuji along the way, but still couldn't find a suitable opportunity to make their move.

Yu Feng, somewhat impatient, asked in a low voice:
"When are we finally going to make a move? If we keep dragging this out, and those Yin-Yang School people see through our plan, we'll be in big trouble."

Lin Beichen stopped and looked up at the summit of Mount Fuji, which was shrouded in a thick layer of clouds and mist, with the outline of the mountain vaguely visible.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"We need to wait for the right time to act. The clouds and mist on the mountaintop are not thick enough yet, which is not conducive to concealing our movements. Moreover, according to ancient records, the dragon vein of Mount Fuji has relatively weaker energy at night, which will increase the probability of success. However, we cannot delay for too long, otherwise things may change. Every day we stay in Japan increases the risk of being exposed."

Yu Feng nodded. Although he was still somewhat anxious, he understood that Lin Beichen's considerations were thorough.

The two then found a secluded viewing platform and sat down, pretending to admire the scenery while secretly observing the surrounding activity.

During this time, several ascetics dressed in traditional clothing passed by them, their gazes lingering on them for a moment, but they did not stay long before turning around and continuing to walk towards the top of the mountain.

Lin Beichen knew that although these Yin-Yang School experts did not immediately suspect them, they had already included them in their observation range.

In the time to come, they must be even more cautious and avoid any unusual behavior.

He glanced at Yu Feng beside him and noticed that Yu Feng was staring nervously at the backs of the ascetics. He gently patted the back of Yu Feng's hand, signaling him to relax.

"Don't be too nervous,"

Lin Beichen said in a low voice, "We're tourists now. As long as we act naturally, we won't arouse their suspicion. Think about it, we've carried out so many dangerous missions together before, and every time we've escaped danger unscathed. This time will be the same. As long as we cooperate well, we'll definitely be able to complete the mission successfully."

Yu Feng took a deep breath and slowly relaxed his tense body.

He recalled his past experiences fighting alongside Lin Beichen, and the tension in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a firm belief.

He knew that Lin Beichen's judgment was always accurate. As long as he acted according to the plan, he would definitely be able to successfully sever the dragon vein of Mount Fuji and thwart the conspiracy of the Sakura Kingdom.

As the sun gradually sets, Mount Fuji is bathed in a golden glow, and the clouds and mist in the mountains grow thicker and thicker.

Lin Beichen glanced at his watch, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes—the time to act was approaching. He stood up, nodded slightly to Yu Feng, and the two tacitly straightened their clothes, pretending to prepare to descend the mountain, but secretly changing direction and heading towards the hidden location of the Mount Fuji dragon vein.

Along the way, they avoided tourists and Yin-Yang masters, relying on their familiarity with the terrain and their superb stealth skills to carefully approach their target.

As night deepened, the temperature in the mountains dropped lower and lower, and the wind howled in their ears, adding to the tense atmosphere of their mission.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng exchanged a glance, both seeing a firm resolve in each other's eyes.

They knew that the next steps would determine the success or failure of this mission, and would also affect China's security and interests.

No matter what dangers await them, they must forge ahead without flinching.

After all, they are Chinese, and that is an unchangeable fact.

After all, they are Chinese, and that is an unchangeable fact.

This identity is deeply ingrained in their bones and blood, and it is difficult to erase no matter where they are.

This is why they have an extraordinary understanding and perception of everything on this land.

What is fake can never become real, and any disguise will eventually be exposed.

The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for those who are trying to cover up the truth.

Fortunately, Lin Beichen and Ai Xiu Si, with their exceptional abilities, quickly investigated the situation at Futu Mountain thoroughly.

After three days of meticulous investigation, the two were able to conclude that three peerless masters were living in seclusion deep within Mount Fuji.

These three are all highly skilled individuals from the Yin-Yang School, with unfathomable levels of cultivation.

If an ordinary person were to encounter such a situation, they would probably not even have the power to fight back.

Of course, this so-called "ordinary people" does not include Lin Beichen and Aishus, whose strength has long surpassed that of ordinary people.

On the third night, midnight was approaching.

The night was as dark as ink, and the mountain wind howled, making it the perfect time to carry out a covert operation.

It was as if even the heavens were secretly helping, and everything around seemed exceptionally "appropriate".

Under the cover of night, the two stealthily made their way up Futu Mountain like ghosts.

Surprisingly, the forest at night was not as quiet as one might imagine. Apart from the constant chirping of insects and the occasional bird call, there were quite a few young couples on the forest paths.

Every now and then, some ambiguous sounds that would make one blush would drift into one's ears on the wind.

The two exchanged a knowing glance and didn't seem to care much.

The more tourists there are on the mountain, the more beneficial it is for them.

The noise of people can be used to confuse the audience and provide cover for their actions.

Everything progressed more smoothly than expected.

Perhaps because no one has ever dared to cause trouble at Futu Mountain, the Yin-Yang masters who have lived in seclusion here for many years have long been accustomed to a peaceful life of cultivation.

The more important reason they chose to cultivate here was that this place was a convergence point of dragon veins, rich in spiritual energy, and extremely suitable for cultivation and enlightenment. They never imagined that someone would come to break this tranquility.

……

"Lin Beichen, I really can't accept this idea!" Aisius lowered his voice, his tone full of barely suppressed annoyance. "Isn't there any other way to lower their guard? Why do you have to make me dress like this? Do you know how embarrassing this is for me!"

Aishus pursed his lips, his face full of reluctance.

At this moment, he was wearing a slightly loose pale yellow dress and a carefully styled long wavy wig with loose strands falling over his shoulders.

Her face was lightly powdered with rouge, and in the dim light, with the wig covering her face, she looked like a graceful young woman if you didn't look closely.

Listening to his companion's complaints, Lin Beichen could only helplessly pat him on the shoulder and whisper words of comfort:
“I’m sorry to trouble you, Iseus. I understand it’s difficult, but it’s all for the sake of the plan’s success. Without this disguise, our actions might arouse suspicion.” He paused, his gaze sweeping across the dark mountain path, and continued to explain:
“There is nothing particularly captivating about Mount Futu at night. If two grown men climb the mountain together, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.”

While I might be able to offer other excuses, I must consider the worst-case scenario.

An elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in loose casual clothes, is slowly walking along the mountain path paved with bluestone slabs towards the courtyard halfway up the mountain.

His Taoist name was "Xuanmingzi," and he was one of the three Yin-Yang masters who lived in seclusion here.

The faint sounds of laughter drifting from the nearby bushes made him shake his head slightly and mutter to himself:

"Young people these days are really... careless about details." "Thinking back to my own youth, wasn't I the same?" A hint of reminiscence flashed across the old man's cloudy yet deep eyes, but it quickly returned to clarity.

At his age, he had long since become indifferent to worldly desires and lusts. In his view, love between men and women was nothing more than a natural phenomenon of yin and yang interacting, and there was nothing shameful about it.

Walking on the familiar mountain path, Xuanmingzi felt a strange unease rising in his heart.

The night wind rustled through the gaps in the trees, and the ordinary night scene now seemed somewhat eerie to him.

The sounds that could be faintly heard just moments ago have now faded into silence.

“Ah, young man,” he instinctively attributed it to the fleeting passion of the “wild lovers.”

However, standing on the stone steps, the feeling of palpitation did not dissipate, but instead became even stronger.

My spiritual awareness, honed through years of solitary practice, has never been wrong. This extreme unease is no accident! It's a warning instinctively generated by the body when faced with a threat!

Almost every hair on his body stood on end, and his muscles were slightly tense. (End of Chapter)
