Creed of the heavens

"Ah benefactor, it seems that you have successfully obtained the approval of Bianruo Yuzi, very good, very good."

The parasitic worms in the host made violent hissing sounds, but under the control of the host himself, the worms never managed to rush out of his body.

"Benefactor, please grant me real relief according to our agreement."

Lu Xiao remained silent, pulled out the Immortal Slash from the scabbard again, put away the knife amidst the hoarse insect sounds from the abbot's body, and split the giant insect into two halves together with the abbot's body.

The abbot's cut body did not bleed any blood, but the giant worm spewed out a lot of green body fluid when it was cut.

"The long mission has finally come to an end. I hope that child can finally fulfill the long-cherished wish of Xianfeng Temple."

"Amitabha"

Lu Xiao witnessed the body of the abbot turned into flying ashes and dispersed with his own eyes, and bid farewell to him with clasped hands.

According to the contents of the Yonglv Sutra recorded by Master Xianfeng, the reason why there are a large number of possessors in Xianfeng Temple is not purely accidental.

A certain great existence deliberately selected them, trying to make these monks immortal, and figured out a proper way to bring them back to their hometown over the long years.

Master Xianfeng who died in the cave knew many secrets behind the power of immortality, but he died mysteriously before telling the successors of Xianfeng Temple all the inside information, which directly led to the road of Xianfeng Temple going further and further. more crooked.

Immortal Slash has already started, and the dark sky has begun to have some hazy light.

In the process of returning to Weiming City by the original road, Lu Xiaoshun "transcended" all the monks who had strayed from the original intention of Xianfeng Temple.

When leaving Mount Kumgang and returning to the temporary residence in Weiming Castle Town, the surname who was in charge of monitoring Lu Xiao's actions was leaning against the wall outside the house and dozing with his head down. Lu Xiao took the opportunity to slip into his room.

Lu Xiao felt a little tired from the intense action all night. After hiding Immortal Zhan in the room, he sat cross-legged on the tatami and entered a state of meditation to recover his energy.

About half an hour later, the surname outside the door suddenly let out a small exclamation, and hurriedly lowered his voice to apologize to someone.

"I'm sorry, Genichiro-sama! You're so humble and dereliction of duty!"

Xianichiro's magnetic voice interrupted the other party's chattering apology: "Let's talk about it later, did that traveler from the Ming Dynasty leave the room?"

"No, since he entered the room yesterday evening, he has been quietly staying in the room and never left the room."

"very good."

"dong dong"

While knocking on the door of Lu Xiao's room, Genichiro amplified his voice to a normal pitch: "Your Excellency Lu Xiao, Xianichiro Ashina is visiting."

Lu Xiao had already captured the conversation between the two outside the door through his keen hearing, but it was not until Genichiro knocked on the door that he got up and opened the door to welcome him in.

"His Excellency Genichiro Ashina, you came here early in the morning, what can I do for you?"

Genichiro was still fully armed with a helmet and armor. After entering the house, he first scanned the simple room and found nothing unusual.

"Your Excellency Lu Xiao, I came here this time to remind you that some abnormal conditions have occurred at the Xianfeng Temple on Mount Jingang in the north of Weiming City. Please do not go to the north of the city when you go out to play, so as not to encounter unnecessary danger."

Chapter 142 The Call of the Tengu

Watching Xianichiro leave surrounded by several warriors, Lu Xiao squinted her eyes subconsciously.

He didn't think Xianichiro really came here out of kindness to remind him that the main purpose of the young master of Weiming Country was to know his whereabouts.

Thinking about it from another angle, if Lu Xiao was standing in the position of Genichiro Weiming, he would not easily believe a Ming traveler who suddenly appeared in his own country when the war with the inner government was going on.

However, Xianichiro still had more plans to carry out by himself, so he didn't put too much energy on Lu Xiao.

After confirming that he had not left his residence, Genichiro, who looked a little tired, left in a hurry, preparing for the next step.

During the tour in the castle town, Lu Xiao seemed to inadvertently ask Xiao Xing who followed him every step of the way: "Yamauchi, what happened last night? Why do you feel that Your Excellency Genichiro is not very energetic."

The person who was arranged by Genichiro to monitor Lu Xiao was Yamauchi, and his baby name was Pingliu, and he had not been given an official name by the elders in the family.

Faced with Lu Xiao's sudden question, Yamauchi shook his head vigilantly and said, "It's nothing, just executed a traitor who tried to escape from Wei Ming overnight, and didn't have a good rest at night."

"Oh? That's it. It's normal for people to defect under pressure during a war."

In order to avoid further suspicion in the mountain, Lu Xiao did not continue to ask, but changed the subject immediately, and began to ask about the customs of Weiming country.

During the whole day, Lu Xiao wandered around the castle town with his surname Yamauchi. On the way, he also went to the ruins of Hirata's mansion that had been burned down three years ago. It seemed that he was really just visiting the scenery of Weiming Country.

But in fact, Lu Xiao used his feet to measure the topography of Weiming City openly. Except for the castle area, which was inaccessible, he already had a general understanding of the structure of Weiming City.

Weiming is a mountain city built in rugged terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This should be one of the key factors for Weiming Kingdom to be able to tenaciously resist the attack of the inner government.

The castle town of Ashina is not surrounded by castles like traditional Japanese ancient cities, but is built in a mountain depression outside the main city.

The castle town, which was supposed to be a living area, has already entered a semi-militarized state due to the invasion of the inner government. When Lu Xiao wandered around the depressed castle town, he would see ashigaru on patrol passing by from time to time.

The main force deployed by Genichiro was stuck at the entrance of the castle town leading to the castle area, led by Masataka, the head of the Seven Guns of Wei Ming, personally led the troops to guard.

Looking from the heights of the castle town, Lu Xiao could see that the small battlefield in front of the main gate was covered with corpses of soldiers from both sides who hadn't had time to restrain themselves.

As Wei Ming Yixin's condition gradually worsened, the war led by the Neifu gradually became fierce.

Looking at the overall situation, it is undoubtedly that Wei Ming, who is short of people and food, is at a disadvantage, and can only rely on the steep terrain to barely block the repeated attacks of the inner government army.

At noon, Lu Xiao and Yamauchi sat on the steps high in the mountain city to eat. They ate rice balls, the most common light meal for going out in Japan in this era.

When going out, Lu Xiao is not picky about what he eats, as long as he can fill his stomach, he got the money from the monks of Xianfeng Temple last night.

It has to be said that these thieves and monks are quite rich, and Xianfeng Temple has really made a lot of money by selling all kinds of Buddha candies through underground channels.

Early this morning, Genichiro received a report from his secret agent who had been placed in the chaos, and Xianfeng Temple seemed to have been slaughtered overnight.

Xian Yilang is fully aware of the activities behind the scenes of Xianfeng Temple. He even secretly cooperated with those monks who deviated from the teachings of the Buddha. He knows how attractive the wealth of Xianfeng Temple is.

However, when Genichiro personally led the army into Xianfeng Temple to search, the inner treasury of the temple that should have been full of property was empty.

Searching the entire Xianfeng Temple, except for a gate behind the main hall that cannot be opened no matter what, Genichiro didn't find any trace of money.

This is a matter of course, Lu Xiao looted all the wealth of Xianfeng Temple last night.

He kept only part of the copper coins for his own use, and buried the rest of the treasure in a secret place inside Mount Kumgang.

After the meal, Lu Xiao asked Shanuchi for books about the history of the Weiming country, planning to return to her temporary residence and perform a golden cicada escape.

Although Yamauchi only has a small surname for the time being, he was born in a famous Wei family after all, and the family's book collection will definitely not be lacking.

As long as Lu Xiao can be controlled in the room, Yamauchi will be able to perfectly complete the task entrusted to him by Genichiro, and Lu Xiao's request is right in his arms.

After returning to his residence in the castle town, Yamauchi immediately sent someone to pick up books from his house.

Lu Xiao was lying on the tatami mat leisurely and contentedly. As long as the books were delivered, he could completely get rid of the surveillance in the mountain.
