Swallow Back

By the morning, many shops were already open for business.

Liu Yun knew that most of the shops attached to the power of temples were monopoly operations, with high prices and poor service.

No choice.

There's no one else doing business around here!

Liu Yun walked into the only lodging and wine house in this town and ordered some food to satisfy his hunger.

Originally, the female owner of the store was ignoring her, frowning at the thick dust on Liu Yun's clothes.

I just came back from the depths of the forest, and I naturally couldn't clean my body.

But the female boss came over lazily and exchanged glances with Liu Yun, suddenly becoming very enthusiastic and extremely respectful, just like a brainless fan seeing an idol artist, blinking her eyes and discharging her body.

She looks like she can't wait to go to her room to learn a foreign language.

Liu Yun immediately realized that something was wrong.

Whether it's a fairy dance, a pillow business, or a nympho, it's not so outrageous.

He immediately thought of the red hook jade in his arms.

Could it be that it is passively taking effect all the way?

Quickly reach in and grab the red hook jade, and carefully experience the mysterious power passed from above.

This is a very mysterious feeling.

Liu Yun didn't know anything related to mysticism at first, but after holding Gouyu tightly, he gradually understood the mystery of this thing without a teacher.

First of all, like the first contact, it needs potential to resist the spiritual power from Gouyu.

This time, with mental preparation, it was easy to control the situation.

Then, within the consciousness, you can clearly "see" that the gouyu contains a very strong light, and it spreads out uncontrollably.

Anyone who is touched will be affected, and they will have an irrepressible and inexplicable affection for the holder of the gouyu.

As if this gouyu has an independent self-awareness.

And the self-awareness is not clear, it is a mess of thoughts and emotions.

Liu Yun held both of his hands, concentrated his energy into it, and easily suppressed the messy mental power and sorted it out.

That Gouyu seems to have been tamed temporarily, and no longer acts without authorization.

Then, Liu Yun felt that he seemed to be able to use his mind to control the strong red light in the gouyu.

If you release it at a person with weak mental strength, you can instantly hypnotize and brainwash the other party and turn him into a loyal servant.

But it also puts a lot of pressure on one's will, which can be harmful in the long run.

Another way to use it is to find a way to integrate the gouyu into the body, like the green-haired mountain ghost who stole the gouyu.

After all, the green-haired monster has limited intelligence, and only knows how to kill people with its claws, and then use blood as a medium to exert control.There are absolutely better ways to use it as a human being.

However, this gouyu can't play a big role in the face of people with strong mental strength and firm will.

At the same time, the bewitching effect will be restrained by Onmyoji's purification spell.

Besides, manipulating other people's minds, thinking about it, is too evil to be easily known by others.

Thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be of much use.

……

Liu Yun immediately withdrew Gou Yu's ability, so the female boss of the wine house instantly returned to normal, and became a lazy and ignorant attitude.

The change in the moment just now did not seem to attract the attention of others.

That's it.

It didn't take long for the waiter of the wine house to bring white rice, pickled radishes, stewed pickles, vinegar kelp, dried fish, miso soup, and a small bottle of sake, a "luxurious set meal".

The small shops on the side of the road are at this level.

The seasoning and heat were very mediocre, and there was no feeling of food at all. Liu Yun quickly put the food into his mouth with the mentality of filling his stomach.

After eating, I called the female boss over and took out a small half-tael of broken silver. The other party's attitude immediately became much kinder, and he said with a smile: "Sir, sit down, and I will give you change."

This is not surprising.

During the war, there was no unified financial institution, and the people's currency was chaotic. In terms of credit, gold and silver were better than Yongle money, and Yongle money was better than private money.

The customers who pay the bills directly with gold and silver are the popular fathers of Party A.

At this moment, on the road ahead, a huge caravan of dozens of vehicles and hundreds of people walked from west to east.

The flag seems a little familiar, but I can't remember it

Liu Yun sat on the spot and waited for a while, took a fraction of a handful of copper coins from the female boss, and was about to go out when he happened to see the huge caravan parked outside the door of the wine house. , walked in surrounded by bodyguards and entourage.

As soon as I met Liu Yun, I remembered, isn't this the Jiecho wealthy merchant Imai Monghisa whom I met some time ago?

The last time was probably on the way back to Omi from Gifu Castle, when I encountered a large-scale caravan.

I didn't expect to meet again.

Although this guy is a rich and powerful businessman, he is very low-key, exquisite in all aspects, no leaks, and he is not offended in all aspects. His impression is still quite deep.

The other party quickly recognized it.

Imai Zonghisa then showed a look of surprise and nervousness. After hesitating for a while, he slowly approached, shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's Mr. Sasaki Liuyun! A month ago, I heard that your martial arts are extraordinary, and you have far-reaching abilities. Sooner or later, It will stand out. But I didn't expect to become famous so soon... When I stayed overnight in Hachimancho last night, I saw a monk from the Tendai Zongshan sect asking about you."

Tiantai Zongshan sect?Isn't that Hieizan Enryakuji Temple?

Seeing this, Liu Yun didn't take it seriously: "Looking at your reaction, Boss Imai, the monk's question must not be a good thing. Maybe they have already regarded me as a big villain!"

Imai Zong smiled bitterly for a long time, then said after a while: "I heard rumors this morning... that you slaughtered dozens of monks from Koshoji Temple in Omi in one go yesterday. I knew something was wrong as soon as I heard it, because the real news would not It spreads so fast, only deliberately made up rumors can spread so quickly. But... ordinary people are ignorant after all, I am afraid most of them will blindly believe the words of Hieisan Enryakuji Temple, you should be careful recently!"

"That's it!"

Liu Yun was not surprised by this.

In fact, it was Koshoji Temple that prevented Sasaki Village from building a temple on its own. Liu Yun refused to accept this, so he went to show off his power and warned him.

Then, the abbot of Guangzheng Temple wanted to take revenge and tried to drive the monster that was sealed in the pagoda. The result was self-defeating, and the monks in the temple were killed by the monster instead.

By now, Asaji Jinghe should have brought the head of the green-haired monster back to Mount Hiei Enryakuji Temple, and the monks will not be unaware of the truth.

But since people can stand in Fusang for hundreds of years, they are obviously old drivers. They must be very skilled at framing and blaming Luo Zhi.

Fortunately, he had already calculated.

Others are afraid of the power of Mount Hiei Enryakuji Temple, but Liu Yun is not afraid.

On the other hand, the stronger the opponent's power, the more confident it will be to infer, and Oda Nobunaga will not be able to resist.

At that time, offending Hieishan Enryakuji Temple is not only a black spot, but a bonus item.

And even if you guess wrong, it doesn't really matter.

Judging from the current information, Oda Nobunaga and Kinoshita Tokichiro are very particular about pragmatism.As long as his martial arts skills are still there, they will have great use value, and he is not afraid of falling into trouble for the time being.

So in the face of Imai Zongjiu's admonition, Liu Yun said indifferently: "Thank you for reminding me, but it's not necessary. Those who are clean are self-cleaning, and I believe that smart people can understand the truth. As for the other idiots... Since they are all idiots, there are still What are you worried about?"

Chapter 32 The Price of the Cicada Art

In the wine house, Liu Yun controlled the red gouyu in his arms, filled his stomach, bid farewell to Imai Monghisa, and went north along the road, without returning to Sasaki Village, he arrived at Yokoyama Castle first.

It's not that I'm in a hurry to seek benefits from Tokichiro Kinoshita, but I feel that it is necessary to see the situation of Takenaka Shigeji.That guy escaped with some "empty cicada technique", so elegant and unrestrained, I don't know what's going on now.

On the other hand, it is also because of the way.

After some battles and a long mountain road, when he arrived at the gate of Hengshan City this time, Liu Yun was not only covered with dust, but also had many tiny holes in his clothes.

The Haori that was on the outside was no longer in shape.

It seems that in the future, try not to travel on foot.The body can stand it, but the clothes can't stand it!

This time, there is no need to report, because the yellow-faced and thin Nagaya Maeno was waiting there. When he saw Liu Yun, he immediately came up to bow and salute, and said eagerly: "Have you finally returned from Suzuka Mountain? Kinoshita-sama ordered me to guard the gate of the city. , I'll take you to the Honmaru Palace to meet you right away."

Liu Yunxin said that it was a fluke, but fortunately stopped by the way, wouldn't it be very embarrassing to go back to sleep and let you wait in vain?

He quickly made a calm gesture, smiled calmly, and followed into the city gate.

However, Nagano Maeno added another sentence: "Kinoshita-sama is in a hurry, please go faster!"

Then he turned his head and ran in.

Liu Yun followed in confusion.

After entering the gate, from Waimaru to Sannomaru, Sannomaru to Ninomaru, Ninomaru to Honmaru, this series of roads, in order to cause trouble to the siege party during the war, was built with twists and turns, ups and downs. indefinite.

From the big hands at the foot of the mountain to the royal palace halfway up the mountain, the straight-line distance is less than [-] steps, and it takes a quarter of an hour.

I don't usually find it troublesome, but today Nagano Maeno seemed to be very anxious and walked in a hurry.

But don't know why.

On the way, I met a colleague who wanted to come over to greet him. Nagano Maeno waved his hand coldly and said, "I have an urgent matter to take Sasaki Liuyundian to meet with Kinoshita-sama. I don't have time to say more, please apologize!"

They sent the other party away.

Seeing this, Liu Yun couldn't help but ask, "Is this urgent?"

Nagano Maeno smiled bitterly and said, "I can't say a word...you'll find out later, alas!"

Then he quickened his pace again, running out of breath.

To say that the martial arts of Mae Ye Nagakura are not weak, he ran out of breath, and the speed was really fast.

Liu Yun could easily follow.

At the same time, I am also a little puzzled. Is there any need for Tokichiro Kinoshita to find him in such a hurry?Didn't Takenaka Shigeji escape by relying on the technique of empty cicadas?Didn't come back?Did something happen?

With doubts, he went through the winding route of Yokoyama Castle and came to the Honmaru Palace.

Judging by the standards of the 21st century, just now is equivalent to an obstacle course run with the intensity of an Olympic athlete. Maeno Nagayasu was out of breath, and he barely announced in a loud voice: "Master Kinoshita! It's Sasaki Lord Liuyun is here!"

Liu Yun's breath is still steady.

After coming to this strange world, he has a physical talent that seemed outrageous in his previous life, and his endurance far exceeds that of an Olympian.

After Maeno Nagayasu shouted, Kinoshita Tokichiro, who was sharp-mouthed, monkey-gill and five short-statured, jumped out of the palace in an instant, still wearing a brocade dress that did not match his appearance and temperament, giving people the association of being a monkey.

Kinoshita Tokichiro stepped on his clogs and greeted him with excitement and worry on his face. After holding it for a long time, he blurted out: "You finally came back from Suzuka Mountain! I wonder what you and Takenaka-sama have experienced together?"
