Swallow Back

Compared with the Honganji Temple that I met in Kyoto, it looks like a clone, the aura is not so strong, but it is more distant and long, with a sense of unfathomable depth.

The eyes of the wishing temple to prove his meaning also lingered on Liu Yun for a while.

Then he turned his attention away, made an invitation gesture, and led the mission deep into the depths.

After a while, Liu Yun realized that when his eyes met just now, the other party seemed to have done something invisible.

There seemed to be an extremely inconspicuous foreign smell in his body.

"That monk has bad intentions and planted a spell on you, maybe the old man can dissolve it!"

——Long Captain Changguang quickly expressed such meaning.

Liu Yun understood it, and was about to execute it, when he suddenly saw——

Takigawa Kazumashi in front quietly turned his head and gave a look of "everything is under control".

After understanding the meaning of that look, Liu Yun decided to suspend his actions and do nothing for the time being.

Just like an ordinary member of the mission, stepping behind.

After walking two steps, I found Azaji Jinghe was still standing there blushing, dazed and completely oblivious to her responsibilities as an attendant.

Liu Yun hurried over and whispered in his ear, just now he was trying to kill flying insects, he didn't intend to be frivolous or rude.

After such an explanation, Ms. Jinghe just came back to her senses, breathed a sigh of relief, returned to normal, and re-entered the role.

It's just that there are some indescribable subtle expressions in the corners of the eyes.

Behind her, the four team members were still staring at the place where Liu Yun held Asaji Jinghe's hand just now, staring at it intently.

The four eyes are different.

One is excited and full of fighting spirit, the other is worried and anxious, the other is happy to hear and see, and the other is eager to see and envy.

It's just that Liu Yun didn't notice.

Chapter 192 Infiltrating role-playing

After a series of complicated and boring procedures, in the evening, the mission finally moved into a courtyard in the Long Island Wishing Temple.

The environment is very good, the house is spacious and bright, the furnishings are exquisite and luxurious, and it also has its own front yard and backyard.

But the location is also in the center of the entire Long Island, surrounded by densely populated streets, it is very easy to be monitored from all directions, if you want to go out to do something, it may be difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the locals.

Not to mention, there are three to five hundred guards on duty just around the courtyard.The intention of being on guard is not concealed.

But Shanren has his own tricks.

In the middle of the night, Kazuyoshi Takigawa quietly called Liuyun to his bedroom, and explained his actions during the day: "When we first met, the monk at the Temple of Wishing secretly cast an unbreakable spell on you. At that time you I probably discovered it immediately, but I don’t think it’s necessary to deal with it immediately, and I can just use the plan.”

Takikawa Kazusuke is of average build and face, with the popular Tsukiyo head shaved and a big beard. He looks like the most ordinary samurai, unremarkable among the crowd.

But when he got serious, his eyes shone brightly, and he looked extremely confident, with a special appeal.

Moreover, this guy has always been known for his reliable work, and has the nickname of "Takigawa who can advance and retreat".

So Liu Yun tentatively believed his teammates' judgment during the day, pretended not to know that he was cursed, and did not respond in any way.

It was quite uncomfortable to hold back like this for a long time, and I wanted to hear Kazuyoshi Takikawa's advice for a long time.

So Liu Yun immediately asked: "What do you think?"

Takikawa Kazui said with a piercing expression: "This extremely concealed spell was originally for monitoring the Liuyun Palace—it seems that those monks have heard of your name. If you try to break this spell, the other party will definitely find another way Come and monitor. Why don't you just use a trick to push the boat along the way."

Liu Yun asked again: "How to cover up?"

Kazuyoshi Takigawa continued to explain: "I learned a set of lost spells in Koga in my early years, which can transfer the charm left on your body by the wish of the Temple of Wisdom to the substitute, which can be used in today's situation. In the next few days, let another person hang around with this double as a cover, and you can move freely."

Liu Yun thought for a moment after hearing the words, and then asked: "I'm afraid this may not be a once-and-for-all method. How long do you think you can hide it?"

Takikawa Kazuyoshi was a little surprised, nodded and smiled and said: "The hero sees the same thing. The main power of Nagashima Ganshoji Temple should be placed on me, so I don't plan to take any real actions, but I will try my best to avoid it. Show signs of taking action at any time, as a tactic for suspicious soldiers. In my humble opinion, those monks should not notice you for at least three days. As for what will happen after three days, it can only depend on luck."

"Three days..." Liu Yun couldn't help frowning: "Until now, we know almost nothing about the Long Island Yuanzheng Temple. What news can I find within three days?"

"As long as you can return safely, you will be able to find important information." Kazuyoshi Takigawa said solemnly, "For several months, I have sent four ninjas to infiltrate, and finally two of them disappeared without a trace. A situation where people lose their memory. In this way, Monk Yi Xiangzong should have some secrets that are not well hidden."

This was unclear, Liu Yun didn't understand it for a while, but after thinking about it, he understood: "The four ninjas are all unfortunate, which means that they all gained something and were poisoned... Otherwise, there should be at least someone Return safely without success."

"That's right." Takikawa Kazuyoshi agreed, then blinked his eyes, and said with great interest: "Hashiba Hideyoshiden told me before that Sasaki Ruun was obsessed with martial arts and didn't care about other things... His words don't seem to be entirely accurate."

Liu Yun laughed and said nothing when he heard the words, he didn't comment.

……

Then Kazuyoshi Takigawa cast an extremely complicated spell.

Of course, "extremely complicated" is just Liu Yun's subjective understanding.

It is mainly speculated from the perspective of time-consuming and labor-intensive.

It took nearly an hour for Kazuyoshi Takigawa to hold his breath and focus on meticulousness, while chanting mantras and seals while concentrating on the operation of the spiritual level.After the completion, the floor was dripped with sweat, and the whole person looked like he had just been fished out of the river, full of exhausted oil lamps, dry wood and bones.

In fact, Liu Yun doesn't know the methods of any onmyoji, monks, or ninjas.On the contrary, Captain Long knew a little bit, but he couldn't explain clearly why the process of casting this spell was so violent.

The only thing that was certain was that the annoying breath on his body disappeared and was transferred to a pure white jade tablet.

Takikawa Kazuyoshi held the jade tablet and smiled lightly, panting and said: "It's really... Phew... It's really troublesome to separate this talisman without making any movement. Now monks, you will take this talisman away." Treat the jade tablet as...huh...as if you are the one to track it down."

Liu Yun nodded, approving the professional ability of his teammates.

It is indeed better to push the boat with the current and use the tricks than to directly expose the monk's surveillance methods.

Liu Yun also talked about the matter of crushing flying insects suspected of being shikigami on the river beach during the day-of course, it goes without saying that he happened to hold Miss Jinghe's palm.

Takigawa Kazuyoshi smiled when he heard the words: "That's just right. The monks' first temptation was blocked by you, but the second temptation was not blocked. Then they must feel that the spell has not been seen through, at least these few days We have plenty of leeway within that."

……

According to the plan, let Liu Yun and his subordinates change their disguises, escape from the encirclement in the dark, and then find a way to spy on the intelligence.

Kazuyoshi Takigawa claimed that he couldn't help in this regard.

A large number of monks and soldiers surrounded the courtyard where the mission lived, and there were guards every three to five steps. It seemed that there were many masters with sharp eyes and ears, and there might be some hidden sentries.

Takigawa Kazuyoshi's original words are: "Even in Koga's heyday, there are probably not more than five ninjas who can get out of here quietly. It's a pity that I am not good at lurking, so I can't be counted as one of them." .”

But Liu Yun had other ideas.

Considering the difficulty of the task before he set off this time, he brought a few Taimanin ladies with him.

One of them, named Akiyama Rinko, has mastered a very wonderful family-inherited ability, which can carry teammates for a short-distance space warp.

Although it takes a lot of energy to use it every time, and this girl is not outstanding in other aspects, but this alone is enough to become an important team member.

Then, considering the strength and familiarity of the battle, Liu Yun decided to bring Jinghe Azaji along.

After changing into the merchant's clothes prepared in advance, they held each of Akiyama Rinko's hands and let the girl concentrate and launch the space warp skill.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in an open space three hundred steps away from the yard.

No matter how many bright and dark whistles there are, they can all be bypassed this time.

The girl Akiyama Rinko may be due to excessive physical exertion, her face is flushed in such a short period of time, she is sweating profusely, panting, and her chest heaves violently.

Liu Yun could even feel the petite palm he was holding was trembling slightly.

Maybe this kind of powerful space ability is so troublesome to use?Otherwise, I'm afraid it's Taimanin's turn to be the captain.

Without thinking, Liu Yun mobilized his "healing power" and transmitted it along the palm of his hand.

After a while, Rinko Akiyama breathed more smoothly, and the sweat stopped, but her face was still flushed and she seemed to be shaking more violently.

Liu Yun can't say that he doesn't understand the reason at all—especially when Yi Zhi, who has turned into a knife, is quietly complaining in the spiritual world.

But for now, I can only pretend not to know.

He released the palm of the girl with the one-tailed ponytail, and then briefly reiterated the identity he was going to play next.

Liuyun's own role is a small businessman from other places who knows some martial arts. It's the first time he comes to Long Island to buy goods, and he plans to buy some seafood back home.

Ms. Jinghe is the wife and bodyguard of a businessman, and she is set as the daughter of a swordsman dojo teacher, which is more in line with her aura.

As for the girl Akiyama Rinko, she temporarily decided to take the action together for the purpose of bypassing the vigilance, and did not prepare too detailed scenes. According to the characteristics of the character image, let's just act as a personal maid.

Of course, this arrangement of driving ducks to the shelves is not expected to be realistic, it is just an attempt to fool the ignorant civilians.When encountering a difficult situation, Liu Yun would definitely draw his sword directly.

Originally... If the ninjas sent over to investigate had not had accidents inexplicably, it would not be his turn to investigate.

Author's Note: Recently, I have received a lot of rewards and various votes from readers, as well as suggestions and feedback. I would like to express my deep gratitude.But at this length of writing, some basic things can no longer be modified, so I want to say sorry to the readers who made suggestions...

Chapter 193 The Fisherman Who Lives and Works in Peace

To the southwest of the Wishing Temple on Long Island, the beach is full of natural harbors, and a series of piers of various sizes are sparsely scattered along the way.

In the early morning, facing the rising sun, Liuyun brought people to an inconspicuous fishing village.

At this time, he was wearing a simple but clean golden plain jacket, and he really looked like a wealthy second generation with some achievements.As for the sword at the waist, it is not surprising. It is the troubled times of the Warring States period, and it is normal to practice two-handed self-defense skills before going out to do business.

Even merchants without weapons are a minority.Those who can afford to hire a bunch of bodyguards, or they only stay in the metropolis and never go out to run business.

Liu Yun was followed by two companions.

Asaji Jinghe wore tight-fitting pale pink sleeves and held a long knife. She stood upright and sassy, ​​as if she was performing in her true colors.

Her identity is arranged very naturally.These days, it is not uncommon for businessmen to spend a lot of money to hire a girl who grew up in a swordsmanship dojo to accompany them on trips.

Akiyama Rinko followed closely.

There was no need to worry about this girl, she was always serious and meticulous—especially in front of Liu Yun, she seemed to be in awe and obedience, saying that she was a well-behaved and obedient maid was absolutely nothing against her.

The three of them walked to the end along the dirt road, and slowly approached the edge of the fishing village.

Why do you come here?

It starts from half an hour ago.

Since Liu Yun was pretending to be a merchant, he naturally went to the market, and according to the custom of this era, asked: "Who are the local merchants who have the right to deal in seafood?"

Unexpectedly, the reply I got from a passer-by turned out to be: "From this year on, Long Island will not restrict transactions. You can buy seafood at any store, and you can even go to the fishing villages on the coast to buy it yourself. It's cheaper! "

This is very surprising.

Generally speaking, in Fusang in the [-]th century, businesses in various places were monopolized by a few people.For example, if Zhang San monopolizes the clothing business in a certain town, then other people must ask Zhang San for his opinion before buying or selling clothes.

Such monopolies are called "block merchants."

The earliest merchants basically relied on the protection of temple forces to obtain exclusive management rights, and it is not uncommon for high-priced and low-quality stores to bully customers.
