Under One Person: I Rebuilt Trinity Gate in Modern Times

Chapter 235 Hunting
"Then let's get started. The Ishikawa family's long-cherished wish finally has a chance to be fulfilled in this era. We must not let this demon sword go this time."

The samurai next to Ishikawa Nobu looked quite old, with a rough face and scars all over his sturdy forearms. He had a long sword on his waist that was exquisitely made and had obviously been passed down for many years.

"Yeah!" He echoed, and then said: "Cutting off the demon sword is not only the obsession of your Ishikawa family, but the existence of the demon sword is also a shame for all the samurai in our entire kendo school. We will all help you!"

Ishikawa Nobu nodded.

Then prepare to set off.

But before leaving, he said to Qin Che: "Thank you very much, Qin. I have troubled you a lot. Please leave this battle to me! Please wait and see what happens!"

This time, Ishikawa Nobuyuki actually bowed solemnly to Qin Che.

"I understand."

Qin Che didn't say much, but he knew in his heart that Ishikawa Nobuyuki probably didn't want him to get involved in this matter. After all, although the two had similar positions, they were in Yingzhou after all, and the Yulong Society didn't want Qin Che to get too involved.

Since the other party clearly doesn't want me to do anything, I'll just wait and see.

But Qin Che still followed the warriors with Ishikawa Nobuyuki and came to a temple not far from Fengsujie.

Yingzhou's temples and shrines are spread all over the country and can be seen almost everywhere, because they are not only religious buildings, but also deeply involved in people's lives.

It was late at night, and a few faint lights were flickering outside the retro wooden temple door.

A long cordon has been set up within a certain range nearby to prevent ordinary people from approaching.

Beside Ishikawa Nobuyuki, Ishikawa Ken gently gestured, then strode forward and pushed the temple door.

The door here was not locked. Ishikawa Ken gently pushed it open a gap and was about to open it a little wider.

Suddenly, someone inside pulled open the temple door. What came into view was not a monk, but a scroll covered with ninja symbols that appeared in front of Ishikawa Ken.

Ninja technique, red lotus!
In an instant, a ball of intense flame burst out from the scroll, and the red flame directly enveloped Ishikawa Ken.

Qin Che's heart tightened when he saw this, but at this moment Ishikawa Nobuyuki and the many warriors of the Fish Dragon Society remained unmoved. It was obvious that they trusted Ishikawa Ken very much. Sure enough, the next moment, a sword light shot out from the fire and directly cut the red flame.

Ishikawa Ken was completely unharmed in the fire, not even touched by a flame.

After Ishikawa Ken separated the flames with one sword, he did not stop. He then raised the sword again and cut the scroll directly, revealing the ninja holding the scroll behind him.

Since the other party had taken the initiative to attack, many other warriors of the Yulong Society also stepped forward and climbed over the wall of the temple and began to search for Bihe Shinobu inside. The temple was surrounded by people from the Yulong Society, and everyone began to search inside layer by layer.

Although Qin Che did not take any action, he followed behind the crowd and watched the fun.

This battle was a complete hunt. Ishikawa Nobuyuki and the others warned loudly: "Be careful of fraudsters. Aoyama Yohei is among them. Don't let anyone go. Prevent them from disguising themselves and leaving."

As many warriors broke in, a large number of monk soldiers poured out of the temple, holding all kinds of weapons, blocking the temple.

No one was too surprised by this scene. The ninjas of Mt. Higashi had always had a close relationship with the monk soldiers. The Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Higashi was the main temple of the Tendai sect in Japan. A long time ago, the various temples were the meeting places for the ninjas at the foot of the mountain.

The leader of the monks held a spear and wore a white cassock. He looked like a leader. He bowed slightly and said, "Are you the leader of the Yulong Society? Although it is a bit presumptuous, I still hope you can leave here. This is not the place for you. The big man behind this temple is not someone you can offend."

After hearing this, Ishikawa Nobu nodded seriously, and then said: "We have already investigated before we came here. This temple is the property of the royal family, right? Sure enough, the reason why those guys in Bihe Mountain have been able to survive for so many years is that the royal family tacitly accepted their existence, right?
But today we are not going to settle accounts with the people of Yihebihe Mountain, we just hope that they can hand over the demon sword. "

The leading monk narrowed his eyes slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "Should I say you are worthy of being called a fish dragon? You really have great magical powers. Seeing your confident look, I have already confirmed that the demon sword is here this morning. In this case, there is nothing to talk about."

After saying this, the white-robed monk raised his spear, and the other monks immediately formed a battle formation and prepared for battle.

The many warriors of the Yulong Society also began to charge forward with high morale.

At the beginning, the Yulong Society was somewhat restrained, but when they found that the monks were ruthless, they also started to kill and slashed at the monks' vital points.

Qin Che was naturally happy to watch from the sidelines. It was none of his business whether one side suffered a loss or not.

Ishikawa Ken was worthy of being the current number one master of the Ishikawa School. He took the lead and charged forward, quickly tearing a hole in the monks' line of defense.

Ishikawa Nobuo was in command from the rear, saying, "Let Jian and the others stop these guys, and the rest of you follow me to look for the demon sword!"

Everyone in the Yulong Society agreed and followed Ishikawa Nobuyuki toward the interior of the temple.

After all, this temple was built in the city and its area was not very large. Under the leadership of Ishikawa Nobuyuki, they quickly broke into the inner courtyard.

The temple was a very simple building, with no place to hide, and soon only the inner hall was left unsearched.

A warrior from the Yulong Society kicked open the door of the inner hall.

When he kicked the door open and tried to pull his leg back, his calf was cut by an invisible thread and was broken.

Blood dripped from the almost transparent hidden line.

The warrior fell to the ground in severe pain and began to wail.

Ishikawa Nobuyuki reminded from behind: "Be careful, this is a hidden line set up by the ninja. Don't move forward rashly. There must be Qi attached to the hidden line! Use your heart to feel the flow of Qi to find the location of the hidden line."

In this era, ninjas have become a rare species and rarely appear. Many warriors of the Yulong Society have little experience in fighting ninjas, so they do not know how to guard against even the hidden line method often used by ninjas, and are easily hit and injured.

As the hidden line was successfully used, dense kunai and shurikens instantly shot out from the store.

Kunai and shuriken are both hidden weapons used by ninjas. Kunai has five basic usage methods: chopping, slashing, stabbing, and shooting. There is a ring on one end that can be used to connect a wire as a tool to climb over walls. It is considered the iconic weapon of the ninja.

Shuriken, on the other hand, are similar to darts, usually in the shape of a cross. They rotate around a center in the air with a stable trajectory, and are coated with a deadly poison at each corner.

The shurikens and kunai were shot out so densely, it must be a trap set up in advance.

Several warriors at the front were hit and fell one after another. The loss was heavy.

Ishikawa Nobuyuki, who had been standing behind, frowned as he watched.

Fortunately, there are some core members in the Yulong Society who stood at the front and used their swords to block the kunai and shuriken.

Ishikawa Nobuyuki, who had not held a sword for many years, couldn't help feeling sad when he saw such heavy losses.

Too many young warriors today have never experienced a life-and-death battle. They have sword skills but very little experience. Just hidden lines and hidden weapons have caused such great damage.

Ishikawa Nobuyuki hasn't used a sword for many years. After all, his current identity is different from the past. He is more responsible for representing the official to deal with disputes in the alien world and contact external forces.

There were few times when he needed to take action. But at this moment, Ishikawa Ken was still blocking the monks from behind, and his own men had suffered heavy losses, so he couldn't help but want to pick up his sword and charge forward himself.

At least according to his experience, he would not be hurt by such low-level means as hidden wires or hidden weapons. Thinking of this, Ishikawa Nobuyuki stretched out his hand and reached out to a samurai behind him: "Give me your sword, these people are too lazy, let me do it."

The samurai behind Ishikawa Nobuyuki would naturally not refuse.

He drew the knife from his sheath and handed it to Ishikawa Nobuyuki.

At this moment, Ishikawa Nobuyuki's attention was still focused on the situation ahead.

Suddenly, the warrior who was about to hand the knife to Ishikawa Nobuyuki changed his moves and slashed at Ishikawa Nobuyuki with the knife. Ishikawa Nobuyuki was caught off guard and could only slightly sideways to avoid the vital points.

In the end, he was hit by the sword, leaving a huge cut on his back so deep that the bone was visible.

traitor?

Ishikawa Shinnosuke was shocked and his face finally changed drastically. He turned his head to look.

The appearance of the warrior who had been following him was changing, and he quickly turned into a bald, thin old man.

Ishikawa Nobuyuki was stunned for a moment, and finally recognized the person in front of him, the fraudster Yohei Aoyama.

"Hey, you've been slacking off too, head of the Ishikawa family."

I don't know when Yohei Aoyama has found his way into my life!

When Ishikawa Nobuyuki was attacked, the other members of the Yulong Society were inevitably affected emotionally and became flustered.

The team, which had already suffered heavy losses, became even more disorganized. The samurai around Ishikawa Nobuo came back to support them. At this time, they were already blood-thirsty and attacked Aoyama Yohei madly.

Yohei Aoyama tried his best to fight back under the siege of many samurai, but he was inevitably hit hard.

Although Ishikawa Nobuyuki was seriously injured, he still managed to maintain a certain level of rationality and tried to stop everyone from killing Aoyama Yohei, because a living Aoyama Yohei was much more useful than a dead one.

Unfortunately, the situation was too chaotic, and even Ishikawa Nobuyuki could not control it.

As the swords fell, Yohei Aoyama suffered several fatal wounds and was dying in an instant.

Surprisingly, Yohei Aoyama, who was on the verge of death, did not show any panic at all, and his eyes seemed to be full of relief.

Welcome death quietly.

He had been tired of killing for a long time. If it weren't for Die's obsession, he would never have gotten involved in these things, but would have found a place to live out his life in peace.

As everyone's attention was focused on Ishikawa Nobuyuki and Aoyama Yohei, the ninjas in the inner hall began to fly outward. About seventeen or eighteen people tried to break through the encirclement of the samurai. Among them was a man holding a brown wooden box. There was no doubt that the demon sword was among them.

Seeing this, many warriors naturally tried to stop them, but Ishikawa Ken's serious injury instead aroused their bloodiness.

They surrounded the group of ninjas and didn't let any of them go.

The roars and wails mixed with the sound of iron colliding made the night sky extremely noisy.

These ninjas were quickly killed, and gradually only two or three of them were left.

Among them was the man holding the brown wooden box.

Ishikawa Ken's injuries had been treated simply and were barely under control. Seeing that the situation was under control, the demon sword was about to return to Ishikawa Liu's control.

There were bursts of noisy sounds coming from outside the temple again, and many people rushed in. Most of these people were priests and their disciples, and there were even some Onmyojis.

The momentum was huge, and there was an inexplicable arrogance on everyone's face.

Just from their expressions and actions, we can tell that these people must have a very high status.

This is indeed the case. These people are the Onmyojis and priests directly under the Kyoto imperial family.

With the sudden appearance of these people, Ishikawa Nobuyuki took the initiative to stop the actions of many of his warriors. Just by seeing these people, he knew that people from the royal family had intervened.

No matter how weak the royal family is now, it is not something that Ishikawa Nobuyuki can ignore.

As everyone in front of him stopped what they were doing, a man who looked somewhat familiar to Qin Che walked out from the crowd. At this moment, the arrogance and arrogance unique to a superior reappeared on his face.

He slowly scanned the crowd, and finally set his eyes on the seriously injured Ishikawa Nobuyuki. Even so, Ishikawa Nobuyuki took the initiative to approach and chat with him: "Lord Miyako Kumoshita, why are you here?"

The person who appeared here at this moment was Miyako Yunxia, ​​whom Qin Che had met in the shrine before.

Qin Che, who had changed his appearance at this moment and was hidden among the crowd, looked at Gong Gu Yunxia who appeared here without changing his expression, and was slightly stunned.

The fat cat Jie San, who was leaning against Qin Che's feet, did not hesitate at all and took the initiative to turn into a ball of green smoke and hid in Qin Che's clothes.

"Has this old guy learned his lesson? Why are there so many Onmyoji following him? Judging from his appearance, I'm afraid that all the Onmyoji belonging to the royal family near Kyoto have been transferred here. It's good to be a high priest, with so many subordinates!"

The fat cat's voice came from Qin Che's clothes.

"What's the purpose of such a big commotion? Are they really going to help Biheshan and Yulonghui fight?"

Qin Che also became confused at this moment and asked softly.

Now he has roughly understood that Biheshan has the support of the royal family.

Showing up in this kind of situation now definitely isn't to help the Yulong Society.

But what he couldn't understand was that the Yulong Society was, after all, an alien force officially recognized by Japan. If the royal family clearly stood on the opposite side of the Yulong Society, wouldn't it cause some trouble?

Jie San's voice came again, subtle and pleasing to the ear: "There shouldn't be a direct conflict with the Yulong Society, but now it seems that the old man seems to have some plan. Since the failure of that battle, the power of the royal family has plummeted and lost most of its power, and Bihe Mountain has also suffered a heavy blow and is almost destroyed. In this situation, Bihe Mountain and the royal family are forced to rely on each other and form a very delicate cooperative relationship.

I know about their visits every time, after all, Mt. Higashi is on my territory, but this is the first time that there has been such a big show, with so many priests showing up at the same time. I guess they are going to hold some big ceremony in the name of Shintoism."

"Ritual? What ritual?"

Qin Che asked quietly.
