Swallow Back

So, according to Mori Ranmaru—that is, the Nine-Tailed Fox behind it, the powers in him come from the same source as the magic weapons held by Xu Fu and Shuten Doji?

Liu Yun found it difficult to tell the truth from the fake.

Although he has the power to perceive other people's thoughts and emotions, but in front of the Nine-Tailed Fox who is best at manipulating people's hearts, he is probably just playing tricks.

So Liu Yun just remained silent.

Mori Ranmaru didn't seem to need to respond, and continued on his own: "Master Sasaki, you actually inherited the ability on this red jade pillar. I don't know if it's a coincidence or some kind of fate? Look around you These two beautiful women are more obedient and obedient than the most docile and obedient concubine Ji in the entire Dongpu, probably this is the dream of all men."

Asahime Igawa and Rinko Akiyama didn't seem to understand these words, and stood on both sides without any response, like puppets waiting for orders.

Seeing such a scene, Liu Yun couldn't help but feel guilty in his chest, and for a while he only blamed himself, and his killing intent towards Mori Ranmaru—or to be more precise, Nine-Tailed Fox faded away.

Controlling other people's minds by means of ingenuity and obscenity is not an act of justice anyway.Even if there is a reason for the incident, he does not have enough confidence to defend himself.

So Liuyun asked Mori Ranmaru sincerely: "I understood just now that the nine-tailed fox is the monster who is best at manipulating people's hearts, so it is also the monster who is best at dispelling the bewitching effect. In this way, the effect on them can be solved. open possibility?"

"Aha...Master Sasaki, are you really planning to give them freedom? Such a noble character, I feel that I can't find suitable words to praise it." Hearing these words, Mori Ranmaru showed a story on his face. With an exaggerated and meaningful expression, he pretended to shake his head and sighed with emotion, and said slowly: "For the time being, I can think of sixteen ways to get rid of the bewitchment, but it's a pity... five of them take too long. I can't wait; the other five are too difficult to achieve with Sasaki-sama's strength; although the other five can achieve their goals, they are likely to ruin the lives of the two women - so there is only one option left. , I went to Todaiji Temple in Nara to find the world's number one fragrant tree 'Lanshedai'. Although it is a troublesome thing, Mr. Sasaki will probably be fine."

The world's number one sweet magnolia treats extravagantly?

Liu Yun probably also heard of such a national treasure, which was placed in Nara's Todaiji Temple and was closely guarded for dignitaries and nobles to watch.But what effect does this thing have and how to use it, I really don't know.

The long captain Guang, who was hidden in the sheath, had vaguely heard of Lan She's power to calm the mind and banish all intrusions of obscene thoughts.

It's just hearsay, and there is no real evidence.

Moreover, the long ship Changguang also knows a rumor that the Shosoin where the orchids are stored in Todaiji Temple is sealed with a group of unprecedented monsters. Ordinary people will be corroded by evil spirits if they get close, and powerful people also need to be careful. Row.

Since Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, several generations of the Muromachi shogunate cut small pieces from Lanshedai and put them in bags as sachets to wear on their bodies. It is said that they can make people's ears bright, their intelligence greatly increased, and they can also protect against mental attacks. .

This move is probably an honor that their general family can only enjoy when they are prosperous.Later, a daimyo named Toki Yoritake also imitated this kind of behavior self-righteously. As a result, not only did he not get any benefits, but he was defeated and died soon.

Judging from these information, leaving aside the issue of how to use it, this "No. [-] Fragrant Wood in the World" named "Lan Shedai" may really have a miraculous effect on restoring the mind.

But how does the nine-tailed fox seem to be kind?

Even if valuable information is provided, it is probably for a sinister purpose.

Liuyun Wuxin was intriguing with the other party, and Dang even expressed his doubts bluntly: "Lan Shewai's thing that can restore her sanity is just your one-sided statement, which may not be credible."

Mori Ranmaru was not surprised when he heard this, raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and chuckled a few times like a silver bell, holding his heart together to pretend to be sad, and said with a wave of eyes: "Master Sasaki's suspicion is really shocking." I am extremely wronged. However, anyway, His Royal Highness Nobunaga has already planned to go to Nara to cut off Lanshe next month, and then you only need to go with you, so you can know the truth?"

"It's logical." Liu Yun nodded slowly, and let go of the handle of the knife with his right hand: "You can just believe it."

"In this way, I can rest assured." Mori Lanmaru showed a relieved smile, and waved a piece of fine sawdust from his cuff: "This is peeled off from 'Lanshedai', you can see the effect first. This is my farewell, Lord Sasaki."

After speaking, he bent down to salute, and left with graceful and soft lotus steps.

Liu Yun accepted the "hands-on gift" from the other party.

It was a very inconspicuous piece of sawdust, only the size of a grain of rice, exuding a faint fragrance, and one could feel that the energy density seemed to be high, but after all, the size was too small to be called a powerful magic weapon.

Liu Yun put the thing away, and then hesitated.

He suddenly looked around, and asked Igawa Asagi and Akiyama Rinko: "No matter what the reason is, it's always wrong to manipulate other people's minds, right?"

Obviously, there is no reliable answer to this question.

"It's really great to be ordered by Lord Liuyun." Jinghe Ashaji raised her head and blushed, her eyes sparkled, and there was a sense of fanaticism in her tone.

"It's really great to be ordered by Mr. Liuyun." Akiyama Rinko also said the same, she nodded slightly, and folded her hands on her chest, looking very relieved.

Hearing these flowing clouds, he could only sigh softly, feeling a little complicated and delicate.

At this time, Iori, who was lying in the scabbard, rarely expressed his opinion.

She used the spiritual link to say to Liu Yun: "My lord, maybe this is not what I should say from my own standpoint, but Ms. Jinghe and Ms. Qiushan may be much happier now than before. And this is the majority of women in the world. Unrequited happiness..."

Liu Yun was silent for a moment, then shook his head, but didn't say anything.

And Captain Changguang suddenly said: "I was born in this world just to use it as a weapon to fight. Only after it conforms to my nature will I consider more things."

These words were a bit out of date, but Liu Yun knew that it was the well-informed Senior Yaodao Ji who understood his thoughts.

"Yeah, no matter whether it's happiness or disaster...the belief I uphold has no reason to be shaken so easily. Since it's the right thing, I should do it without hesitation."

Liu Yun said something to himself.

Suddenly there was a strong wind blowing all around. For a while, it seemed as if clouds and mist spewed out, the sun and the moon rotated, the sky and the earth shook, and then disappeared without a trace.

Liu Yun vaguely felt that something unrecognizable had happened to him.

In the materialistic world I lived in in my previous life, any words or deeds that violate my own moral sense will only bring guilt and regret, but will not cause any substantial harm.

But Liu Yun suddenly felt that there might be some kind of special rules in the current warring states era of Japan.

Before being tested by ancient monks at Enryaku-ji Temple in Mount Hiei, and when facing the spiritual attack of monk Kenjona at Hongan-ji Temple in Kyoto, I persisted in my heart and survived.

Today, however, Liu Yun vaguely felt that if he wavered just now, he might cause huge troubles in the future, far beyond the level of uneasy conscience. 1

Chapter 241 Unavoidable Suspicion

Liuyun only stayed in Gifu City for two nights.

Although he is very talented, he is still not a master of time management. Even if he is surrounded by two beautiful women who can ask for anything, it is impossible for him to do something like the fantasy of vulgar people.

What's more, Liu Yun is still in a somewhat complicated and subtle bad mood.

While he had nothing else to do, he went to the security office in Gifu City, borrowed a prisoner who was about to be sentenced for the bloody hands, and went to a place where no one was around to do a small experiment.

First, he used Liuyun's stronger "bewitching power" than before to control the opponent's mind, and then ignited the nine-tailed fox—that is, the sawdust that was said to be the fragment of "Lanshedai" presented by Mori Ranmaru.

After seeing a strange fragrance, the prisoner really recovered and regained his sobriety.

It's just that Asagi Ikawa and Rinko Akiyama who were standing beside Liuyun just frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable, but they didn't escape from the mind control.

Probably a matter of dosage.

The prisoner was immediately controlled again, and was about to be pulled out and beheaded for public display in a few days, so he was not worried about the risk of leaking the secret.

It’s just that this leaves a problem——

At the beginning, because they were eager to expel the weird curse left by "Masa of the Demon Sword Village", they had to adopt very extreme methods, using a method similar to brainwashing and hypnosis to control the minds of Ikawa Azahime and Akiyama Rinko.

Looking at this matter now, it can only be said that it is a matter of haste, and there is not much to criticize.

Even the later part that is not suitable for children is just an indispensable finishing process to expel the curse.

It must not be said that Liu Yun ran amok for his own evil desires.

So - now that you have learned the clues to release the mind control, you should execute it immediately.

however……

What happens after this mind control is lifted?How will Asagi Igawa and Rinko Akiyama view what happened during this period?

Liu Yun hesitated for several hours, but finally felt that since he made up his mind to do it, he should be unwavering.

Of course, he also has the consciousness of receiving resentment and hostility afterwards.Even if he encounters the vicious words and even the sword confrontation of the two Ms. Mannin at that time, he will not be shaken in the slightest.

The truth may be painful, but every kind and just people should have the right to know the truth, unless they give up by themselves.

In addition to this, Liu Yun has to consider a more serious problem, that is the existence of the "nine-tailed fox".

First, Zi Xuesai, a tea master at the foot of Mount Hiei, followed by the swordsman Okita Sousuke from Nagashima, and then Mori Ranmaru from Gifu Castle.

The nine-tailed fox seems to have a tendency to continue to transform into a beautiful man to do things around.

Coincidentally, the several encounters with the other party all indirectly or directly helped Liu Yun achieve his goals, and there was no conflict of interest.

Including the appearance of Mori Ranmaru this time.

The Nine-Tailed Fox has shown no hostility so far, and it seems unwise to be overly wary of it just because of its name.

However, in a sense, this was what troubled Liu Yun even more.

The origin of the identity is unknown, the intention is also very vague, but the strength of the third party is very powerful, giving people the impression that it is like a volcano that will erupt at any time.

Liu Yun even wanted to rush up and hack Mori Ranmaru to death without hesitation.However, reason told him that it would be useless to do so.

Who knows how many clones the nine-tailed fox has?

Originally, Liuyun was not alone. When he had doubts about something, he only needed to ask Hashiba Hideyoshi to ask the Oda family's intelligence system to investigate.

But now that the problem involves the beloved new surname around Oda Nobunaga, obviously there is no way to deal with it in the previous way.

If only I had my own intelligence channel—wait, maybe the Shinsengumi could come in handy?

Their original purpose was to "bring Yixiangzong back to the right path", which did not contradict Liuyun's position.Just at this time, there is a vacancy at the top of the organization, which can be guided to achieve mutual benefit.

But it might not be easy to start.

In the Shinsengumi, Kosuke Sawagi is currently acting as the temporary speaker with the help of Liuyun's prestige, and Liuyun basically only knows Kosuke Sawagi, and this is because that guy is Miss Igawa's suspected marriage partner-although he seems to like it A cute boy like Okita Sougo.

It probably needs a suitable opportunity, or an exquisite arrangement, to give orders to it.

This is not what Liu Yun is good at.

He has always been quick-witted and adaptable. He seems to have some potential in this area, but he lacks experience and interest in politics.

Basically Liu Yun is not very good at other things except wielding knives and swords - at most, adding pile driving is actually another way of wielding knives and guns.

He didn't have time to do it for a while, but the idea flashed in his mind.

On the third day in Gifu Castle, Hashiba Hideyoshi, Takenaka Shigeharu, Hachisuka Masakatsu and others arrived.

Then Liu Yun learned more fresh information from these acquaintances.

It turned out that the "Uncle Sorchi" he brought back did indeed hide valuable secrets. From here, Oda Nobunaga confirmed that Monk Xiangzong used secret methods to manipulate the people, and decided to go to Nara Todaiji Temple to cut Lan Shedai. Also to fight against it.

In the words of Shigeharu Takenaka, he explained: "The secret method of the Ichigo sect is very clever, and it can sacrifice the flesh and blood of thousands of believers to do earth-shaking things. But the limit is that the believers are willing to give their lives. This was originally the last trick of the Buddhist sect to subdue demons and protect the people. , but I didn’t expect to use evil ways today.”

Only then did Liu Yun understand the cause and effect of the incident.

On weekdays, using other means to control the minds of the people, both hard and soft, is equivalent to setting up an evil battery.When it is needed, it will be taken from it.

Really evil.

It still sounds reasonable to use "Lan Shedai" to deal with them.

At the same time, Liu Yun felt a little unhappy.

Oda Nobunaga did not share the specific details of the important information he brought back from an adventure to Long Island with two Miss Taimanin.

That guy looked respectful on the surface, but in reality he probably just regarded Liu Yun as a tool slave.
