I, Wang Ha, the Assassin of Three Red Warriors

Yakumo Lan bowed slightly to the old man of the mountain, and then disappeared into the house.

In the quiet guest room, the old man of the mountain closed his eyes again, immersed in his comprehension of the law of death.

In the gap, Yakumo Lan, who came in later, caught up with Yakumo Zi in a few steps.

After the master and servant walked in silence for a while, Yakumo Lan finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked questions.

"Master Zi, who was that lord just now? Why are you so cautious in handling your relationship with him?"

Yakumo Zi turned around, the iconic folding fan blocked half of her face, blocking the charming smile on her face.

"What? Blue, are you curious?"

"Okay then, let's have a good talk with you before sending you back."

"Tell me about this human being who once chopped off the head of a god with a single sword, turned the world around with his own hands, and stood eternally above my fear."

Chapter 5 The Wrist of the Yokai Sage

"More than 300 years ago, he first appeared in Japan and settled down in a bamboo forest."

"No one knows his real name. Suzuki Satoru is an alias he uses for the convenience of communication. When facing the enemy, he usually claims to be nameless, just a dead soul wandering on the earth."

Yakumo Zi didn't hide it from Yakumo Lan, and recounted this long-lost history from the beginning with a bit of reminiscence.

"Perhaps following a certain code, he hardly walks in the world of mortals, and he doesn't like to be entangled by ordinary people."

"Living a peaceful life alone in the bamboo forest is like a hermit hiding in the deep mountains and forests of China."

"If the days go on like this, we don't think this old man will come into anyone's sight at all, but who made the accident happen?"

"The princess of the Moon Capital was banished to the ground for her crimes, and she happened to land in that bamboo forest."

Yakumo Zi's tone was a bit sad, and it was after that that she formally met the old man of the mountain.

The process involved was quite tortuous, so I couldn't explain it too clearly to Lan, so as not to damage her usual image of being wise and martial.

"Wait! Master Zi! He, he is Taketori!?"

"That's right, we also met him a few days ago, only to know that he has returned to Dongpu."

"So, are everything recorded in "The Tale of Bamboo" true?"

Yakumolan did not forget this book, and the imperial court organized this operation with great fanfare, in the final analysis, it was for the elixir.

Yakumo Zi smiled disdainfully when she heard the words, put away the folding fan in her hand with a 'crash', and tapped on Lan's forehead.

"Oh, how is it possible? The real historical truth has long been buried. What you know now and what is written in that book are all false history written and forged by special personnel in order to give an explanation to the time and future generations."

"Not to mention anything else, Lan, do you believe in the inexplicable death of those ministers in the book? There are no fools who can sit in high positions."

Yakumo Lan was indeed puzzled by this, but now after listening to Zi-sama's narration, she suddenly felt a sense of clearing away the clouds and mist.

"So? Master Zi, what is the truth of history?"

"Hmph! Compared with the ones handed down in the monogatari, the real history is much more cruel and chaotic..."

As one of the behind-the-scenes participants in the incident that year, Zi Yakumo knew this well, and it took half a cup of effort to finish the talk.

Yakumolan listened to it all at once, only feeling that his brain was buzzing.

Suzuki Bamboo, who has attracted marriage proposals from all over the country because of her celestial beauty, and the Heian-kyo battle where humans, monsters, and moon people fight each other.

And, the mythical feat of the man on the mountain beheading gods and demons, killing historical facts and bringing countless dead souls back to the world...

"So, can even a conceptual abstraction that doesn't have an entity be killed?"

Originally, Yakumo Lan felt that Murasaki-sama's method of subverting and playing with realms at will was unreasonable enough.

Unexpectedly, the ability of the old man of the mountain is even more outrageously domineering than that.

What is this?Is there anything in the world that I cannot kill?

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that Master Zi apologized so positively this time. If he is not positive, it is his thinking that is wrong.

"Okay, Lan, you go back first and continue to undercover by the emperor's side."

"Recently, the movements of the sorcerer group are unknown. The new demon country on the other side of the Four Kingdoms is also about to move. There are even unknown gods reappearing on the earth to secretly contact the reclusive people... Please pay attention to the movements of the human race, and remember to convey any news to us in time. We know."

After telling the story, Zi Yakumo didn't want to stay blue anymore, and it would be serious to send this guy back to work as soon as possible.

"We have replaced the memories of those villagers and the exorcist. In their impression, what they saw was a battle between gods."

Yakumo Lan immediately understood the intention of Yakumo Zi's move. Master Zi wanted to use the hands of the human race to test the group of unknown gods.

"Don't worry, Lord Zi! I will definitely not make any mistakes this time, and I will be able to perfectly complete what you have told me."

Because he had just made a mistake, Yakumo Blue was eager to make up for it, so his enthusiasm for work was extremely high.

In addition, Yakumo Zi took the initiative to take responsibility in front of the old man of the mountain just now.

As a subordinate, Lan was even more moved, and the feeling of guilt in his heart became more and more profound.

Yakumo Lan felt extremely proud and honored to be able to follow behind such a wise sage as Zi-sama.

She vowed silently in her heart that she would redouble her efforts to share the Lord's worries in the future.

Seeing the uncontrollable excitement on Lan's face, Zi Yakumo nodded in satisfaction, that's what she wanted.

This time, not only did he find out the reality that fascinated the bamboo forest, but he also found the trace of his old enemy, Bayi Yonglin.

Once again, the relationship with the old man was brought closer, and he initially obtained a certain degree of protection from the old man of the mountain, which made Lan even more desperate.

It's killing five birds with one stone, Zi Yakumo didn't lose anything, instead he made a lot of money.

"Well, we are looking forward to your performance."

After Yakumo Zi finished speaking, she created a gap under Lan's feet, and threw the fox girl into the algae girl's camp in the world.

"Okay, okay, it's time to go back to sleep. Umm~ I'm really exhausted after running so many places in just a short while."

The wise and powerful monster sage yawned, raised his hand to rub the corners of his sleepy eyes, and staggered out of the gap.

The next day, early in the morning.

In front of the Moriya Shrine, Akiko Dongfenggu was saying goodbye to her colleagues.

"Qiuzi, why don't you think about it again? It's too dangerous to go alone to get rid of monsters."

A girl in a priestess costume held Dongfenggu Qiuzi's hand, persuading her with a worried expression.

"It's okay, I received an oracle from the gods this time. Besides, I also have companions, so there will be no problems."

With a vigorous smile on Dongfenggu Qiuzi's face, he patted the witch on the shoulder and instructed in reverse.

"In the two days since I left the shrine, I will leave the affairs of the shrine to you, and don't forget to organize the Sasaka Festival."

After hearing Dongfenggu's words, the witch pouted dissatisfiedly, and did not let go of her worries because of the other party's relief.

She looked up and glanced outside the torii gate, where the old man of the mountain and Yuyuko were standing there waiting for Qiuzi Dongfenggu to set off together.

"A fifteen or sixteen-year-old noble lady, and an ordinary middle-aged white-haired uncle as attendants, this seems unreliable no matter how you look at it? What did the gods foresee?"

Qiuzi Dongfenggu heard the witch's low muttering, and the smile on her face stiffened a little.

It really doesn't look like he can fight very much, his real strength is the level of suppressing our family Kanako Yasaka.

"Okay, I should leave soon, go back early."

Qiuzi Dongfenggu doesn't plan to stay any longer, who knows what his ignorant and fearless friend will say later.

Before leaving the Moriya Shrine, Yamanoo made a religious ceremony in the direction of the main hall, which was a farewell to Kanako and Suwako.

Let’s not talk about whether these gods have other schemes, at least they actually took them in for a night, and I still have to thank them.

Just as the old man of the mountain and his party set off to descend the mountain, Yakumolan, who was far away in the world, had to deal with the exorcist.

The battle between gods is just a flash in the pan, like a dream.

But it still frightened the demon slayers so much that no one dared to mention exploring the lost bamboo forest anymore.

Chapter 511 Holy White Lotus

As the rulers of the shrine and the Onmyouya, Migo Asai and Yasuko Tsuchimikado naturally couldn't delay the matter indefinitely.

They had no choice but to come to Yakumo Lan for discussion, hoping that His Highness could come up with an idea.

It is best to give up the mission and return to Heianjing, and run as fast as you can.

Although this decision may sound like a deserter, but given His Majesty's love for Zao Nu, he will not be too harsh when he returns.

In the world.

Yakumo Lan, who had just rested for a short time, supported the exhausted body and agreed to the request of the two heads of exorcists.

Yakumo Lan was not seriously injured in last night's battle, but Tamamomae's righteous punch was not easy to bear.

Until now, Yakumo Lan still feels a 'buzzing' pain in her head, and when she looks in the mirror, she can see a faint bruise on her forehead.

At the same time, she still needs to restore her mental and physical strength. As for the one who turned into a demon fox and smashed a big fireball, the demon power is not less consumed.

"Are you here for what happened last night?"

After all, Yakumo Lan had been wandering around the palace for a long time, so she could immediately guess the purpose of Asai and Tsuchimikado's coming to find her.

To put it bluntly, these two old foxes wanted her to take the blame, so as to avoid the accusation of Emperor Toba.

But it was just right, Yakumo Lan didn't want to stay in the Lost Bamboo Forest for a long time.

On the one hand, it was because she wanted to avoid the hermit in the lost bamboo forest as soon as possible, so as not to be found by the other party.

On the other hand, it was because Master Zi told her to pay more attention to the movements of the human race, and to complete this task, she had to return to Ping An Jing as soon as possible.

Therefore, Yakumo Lan will choose to go along with the flow and agree to Shimo Asai and Tsuchimikado's suggestion.

Of course, this scapegoat cannot be waived, Yakumo Lan will exchange some benefits with the other party, and each will get what he needs.

Asai Yuyan nodded first, and he straight to the point clarified the purpose of this meeting.

However, Yakumo Yasumo sensed that something was wrong with Yakumo Lan, and took a step forward, concerned with a little worry.

"His Highness doesn't look very well, but was he frightened last night?"

Asai Goyan couldn't help but look up, and found that Yakumo Blue was indeed a little pale, and his energy was a little listless, and there was a green patch on his forehead under his bangs.

"It's true that I didn't have a good rest last night, but it's not a big deal. Let's hurry up and discuss the business."

Yakumolan didn't want to get entangled in this issue, so she cleverly changed the subject, so that it was difficult for the two of them to ask too much.

The discussion didn't last long, and soon the three people with the same goal reached a satisfactory result.

Take a day off today, and leave tomorrow to return to Heian-kyo, and report the matter to Lord Fujiwara and Emperor Toba for a decision.

As for the Lost Bamboo Forest...

Considering that a miracle has just appeared here, and that there is no shrine in Human Realm, Migo Asai will send someone to stay and build one.

It has not yet been decided who to choose to stay, and it is estimated that no unlucky person will voluntarily stay in this remote area, which is no different from being assigned.

Leaving from Yakumo Lan, Asai and Tsuchimikado were going to ask their subordinates to pack up their luggage.

Tsuchimikado Yasuhito looked back at Zao girl's tent, lowered his voice and asked Asai, "Master Asai, do you think Her Highness Zao girl's appearance is really caused by not having a good rest? Why does the old man feel that it seems to be more serious than that?" gone."

Migo Asai gave Tsuchimikado a sideways look, and responded angrily.

"What is Tsuchimikado-sama thinking about so much? The royal family will handle the affairs of the royal family themselves. I don't want to cross the line, and I'm not interested in crossing the line."

Although he didn't get any support from Asai, some doubts still arose in Tsuchimikado Yasuko's heart.

He didn't directly connect the algae girl with the monster, but the seeds of doubt had already fallen into his heart, just waiting to take root and sprout.

Pressing down the hesitation, after returning to the camp, Taiqin Tuyumen called Tuyumen Yuanhu over.

"Wonho, tomorrow we can leave for Heianjing. However, I have another task for you and Cairen."

"Patriarch, please give me instructions." Tu Yumen Yuanhu happily accepted the order.

He had not accomplished anything this time, and he had been feeling depressed recently.

"Tomorrow you and Saito will lead a few teams to Shikoku." Tsuchimikado Yasuhito laid an enchantment casually: "Before coming here, Mr. Fujiwara told me some bad conjectures. We suspect that there are big monsters in Shikoku. It has become a climate, and even... has controlled the entire territory of the four countries."

Tsuchimikado Mototora's heart shuddered, realizing the importance of this trip.

If the entire territory of the Four Kingdoms is really controlled by monsters, doesn't that mean that monsters have already established a monster country based on this?
