Japan's main island, Kinki, Hikone Castle, Lake Biwa.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the sky has completely darkened. On the sparkling lake, an old iron boat that has been turned off is silent and drifting with the current like a ghost ship.
"Hey~"
The sound of breaking wind resounded, and a giant owl-like figure suddenly rose into the air from the ship, and was about to fall in mid-air.
The figure's arms suddenly trembled. Instead of falling, it rose up, its speed soared, and it landed firmly on the shore.
Du Weiguo quickly put away the Nine Nether Locks, looked around with falcon-like eyes, roughly identified the direction, then spread out his long legs and ran towards the city.
Hikone is a small mountain town that connects the city to the upper suburbs of rural areas. It has a population of less than 100,000, but it has beautiful scenery, peace and tranquility.
There is Ogino Mountain to the east of the city, and a Tianning Temple was built on the mountainside. It is an old temple that is hundreds of years old.
Speaking of which, I have to mention that the Japanese island country is very magical. Buddhism is booming. It is a small place, but it has no less than 70,000 temples and more than 300,000 Buddha statues.
Of course, there are too many monks and too little food, so it is impossible for all temples to be prosperous. Anyway, the Tenning Temple in Hikone Castle has declined.
The temple is in disrepair and is overgrown with weeds. The temple is dilapidated, the walls have collapsed, the mountain gate has collapsed, and all the monks have fled, leaving it a deserted temple.
Not only that, this temple also suffered a fire a few years ago, killing many people, young and old.
Now every night, you can hear the screams of women and children, and it is said that you can also see will-o'-the-wisps floating in the sky.
As soon as the rumor of being haunted came out, the already dilapidated temple became even more deserted. No one dared to come in broad daylight and would only go around far away, making it a completely forbidden place.
This temple was built on the middle of a mountain. Because it is inaccessible, the vegetation is particularly lush. There is a camphor tree that is decades old at the door, with leaves whirling in various shapes.
At this moment, Du Weiguo was squatting steadily on a branch near the tree crown, looking sharply at the ruined buildings below, his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.
Damn, something is wrong!
Du Weiguo's methods were cruel, and naturally the weaklings on the boat couldn't handle it, so they resorted to it honestly. This abandoned Tianning Temple was their home base.
These kidnappers have neither the courage nor the ability to lie to him. According to the situation they explained, the kidnappers entrenched here include the boss One-Eye.
There were probably seven or eight men gathered together, and the weapons in their hands were nothing more than knives and hatchets, not even a native gun.
With these five scum of war, let alone trying to hurt Du Weiguo, even if they want to make him sweat, they are just crushing him to death, just like ants.
However, at this moment, Du Weiguo clearly felt a faint sense of crisis, which seemed to be there or not, and the source was located in the dark temple below.
Du Weiguo's current combat power has been rising and rising, and he is almost invincible. There are not many scenes that can make him feel dangerous.
Of course, as long as it makes him feel a sense of crisis, he must treat it with caution, otherwise, he will overturn if he is not careful.
"What the hell? What the hell are you doing? Why do you always have to cause trouble every time you encounter such a weird place?
If I don’t enter a temple, if I don’t worship a Buddha, the ancients will not deceive me. Is it because I am incompatible with the gods and Buddhas in the sky? "
Du Weiguo rubbed the stubble on his chin and complained in a low voice with some annoyance. What he said was really not nonsense, but he truly felt it.
At the abandoned Taoist temple in Huangqi Mountain, Du Weiguo met the same kind of Night Dire, the incomplete blood vine, and it took the strength of nine cows and two tigers to deal with it.
After leaving the country, he met Venom's fellow alien Tyrannical in the Jiuju sect's dojo in Mt. Mandala on the outskirts of Kyoto, and almost overturned.
There is also the Amazon rainforest, that unknown temple, which was almost reduced to rubble by the Predator's annihilation cannon.
Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, Du Weiguo is now a little nervous about places like temples and dojos.
To be honest, Du Weiguo is really hesitant to move forward. He has a mess on his butt and a lawsuit on his forehead, and he really doesn't want to cause any more trouble.
In the final analysis, Du Weiguo has always been an egoist. If doing chivalry and justice puts him in a dangerous situation, he will definitely weigh it.
But do good deeds without worrying about the future. This is just bullshit. Just eat as many bowls of rice as you can, and do everything according to your ability. This is the right thing to do.
As his mind raced, Du Weiguo let out a long breath and secretly made up his mind to take out a few incendiary bombs from the space.
Yes, his plan was to set fire to this ruined temple, because it was close to the mountains and forests, so it was extremely easy to cause wildfires.
Therefore, no matter what, the local police and fire departments cannot ignore it and will definitely send people over.
The fire caused by the ultra-high temperature of the white phosphorus incendiary bomb spread very quickly. I believe that the one-eyed Lao Shizi would not have time to erase all the clues.
In addition, on the old boat in Lake Bipa, there were several human pigs deliberately left behind by Du Weiguo, as well as several abducted children.
The witnesses and physical evidence are complete, and the evidence chain is complete. As long as the local police are not stupid pigs, they will definitely be able to connect them and peel off the cocoons.
"Well, I can only help you so much, just leave it to fate~"
Du Weiguo whispered to himself, then with a sharp look in his eyes, he was about to pull the safety of the incendiary bomb.
"Bang~"
At this moment, in the backyard of the temple, the door of a relatively intact Zen room was suddenly violently knocked open from inside.
A figure, unconsciously roaring vague words, stumbled out of it.
interesting! Du Weiguo's brows furrowed and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The guy who suddenly rushed out was a tall, muscular man with a thick face and a thick beard.
His left eye was blind, leaving only a dark hole, which should be the one-eyed leader of this gang of kidnappers.
At this moment, One Eye was looking at his upper body, revealing thick chest hair, and his lower body was only wearing a crotch cloth with a lining.
The body was dripping with blood, and there were several hideous wounds. The skin was torn and the bones were visible, making it look particularly oozing.
Du Weiguo killed countless people, but he couldn't see how the wounds on his body were formed. They looked like they were cut by a saw or struck by a soft whip with inverted teeth.
The one-eyed guy's vitality is quite tenacious. He was so seriously injured, but he still managed to survive, running staggeringly and screaming heart-breakingly.
"悪魔! 悪魔~"
What he yelled was "devil" in Japanese. This title aroused Du Weiguo's curiosity enough that he silently put away the incendiary bombs and prepared to watch the show and eat melons.
Outside the Zen room was an empty small courtyard. One Eye ran about ten meters away and was about to reach the center of the courtyard.
A black whip as thick as an index finger, dark red and black, with open inverted teeth, suddenly shot out from the Zen room like a black light.
"Pfft~"
The end of the long whip was a tip similar to an armor-piercing awl. It was extremely sharp and silky-smooth, and pierced One-Eye's neck. Then it wrapped around his neck and pulled him violently towards the Zen room.
Oh, the barbed soft whip is such a unique weapon. It has the same purpose as the Jiuyou Lock, but it is more ruthless. Du Weiguo raised his sword eyebrows and became more interested.
This strange dark red whip came and went at an extremely fast speed, but Du Weiguo's fiery eyes could still see it clearly.
This long whip is definitely not a living thing, but a strange weapon made of special materials. It can be long or short, full of inverted teeth, and extremely ferocious.
"Sand~"
A moment later, a figure jumped out from the Zen room, moving as gracefully as a swallow. This figure landed steadily in the yard. She was a woman with a slim figure.
This woman was wearing a large black cloak, but when the night breeze blew, the cloak would stick to her body from time to time, and her beautiful curves were looming.
She has long hair shawl, and a black bib on her face, which covers most of her face, revealing only a pair of coldly shining red phoenix eyes.
The woman stood quietly in the yard, her eyes as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Du Weiguo on the tree. Apparently, she had discovered him.
Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows and smiled silently:
"Good guy, this little girl's eyes are quite fierce. It looks like she has met a fellow martial artist? And the young master has been pried away?"
Now that they were all discovered, Du Weiguo simply stopped hiding. His arms shook and he jumped down from the camphor tree.
"Boom~"
Du Weiguo hit the outer wall of the temple like a meteor, and a large section of the already fragile wall suddenly collapsed, sending smoke and dust everywhere.
In the smoke and dust, Du Weiguo flew up again. In mid-air, the Nine Nether Locks hooked the cornices of the main hall. Using the momentum, he swayed, and his figure was as straight as a dragon, landing directly in the courtyard where the Zen room was.
After landing, Du Weiguo did not stop, and walked straight to the woman about 5 meters away before stopping.
The woman stared at him without blinking for a moment, seemingly calm, but in fact her eyes were full of hostility, and her muscles were trembling slightly. She had one hand behind her back, ready to attack at any time.
Strong people all have a sense of danger. Although Du Weiguo did not exude hostility, his aura was too strong, like a mountain or a prison.
Especially what he did when he jumped from the tree crown just now shocked her. It was a height of more than 30 meters, which is equivalent to more than ten floors. An ordinary person would have been reduced to a pulp.
As Du Weiguo got closer, the woman felt like thorns on her back, becoming more and more nervous, her whole body soaked in cold sweat, and she even had the urge to turn around and run away immediately.
Du Weiguo stopped and was about to speak when the woman eagerly spoke first. Her voice was low and hoarse, not because of nervousness but because of her natural voice.
"Who are you?"
Damn, you actually stole my line. Du Weiguo curled his lips, slightly unhappy, and replied in a calm tone:
"Passers-by."
"Passers-by?"
It was obviously perfunctory, but also had a hint of provocation. The woman seemed to be more nervous, with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes, and the shoulder behind her back subconsciously tightened.
"What? You want to take action, but you are very fierce. Do you kill people on sight?"
Du Weiguo asked unhurriedly, seemingly casually, but in fact, the black and white Tang knife had slipped silently to his hand.
This woman can make him feel a slight sense of crisis. She is definitely not an ordinary person. She is most likely a person with abilities. At the end of the day, she is at the same level as Lancelot.
At this moment, the woman suddenly became thoughtful and looked at Du Weiguo carefully. Her eyes fluctuated and her tone became a little excited:
"You, you are not Japanese? You, you are the evil god!"
Fuck!
Du Weiguo was shocked. Damn it, is he already so famous now?
Can anyone recognize any dilapidated temple in the wilderness on Dongying Island? He is now alone in an enemy country, surrounded by enemies. Once his whereabouts are revealed, it will be unthinkable.
If, while fighting the evil god Xiangpan, he was suddenly stabbed in the back by a Citihawk or a Freemason, everything would be over.
No, this bitch cannot be kept, she must be silenced!
The murderous intention in Du Weiguo's heart suddenly rose, his eyebrows were raised, his eyes were cold, his evil spirit was stirring, and his tone became stern:
"you know me?"
The woman keenly felt Du Weiguo's hostility, and quickly stretched out the hand she had always carried behind her back, and opened her hands to show that she was not hostile.
"Your Excellency Sha Shen, please don't misunderstand me. I am not your enemy. On the contrary, I am still your ally."
The woman's eyes and tone were a little eager. Du Weiguo didn't speak, but looked at her with cold eyes, his meaning was obvious, waiting for her explanation.
"My name is Atsuta Sakura, formerly known as Fujiwara Sakura. I am the sister of Fujiwara Chiya. He is an onmyoji, and I am the shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine."
There are no women in Japan's Onmyoji group. Women who have talents, can sense spirits, and control shikigami are collectively called shrine maidens. Momoyo Sakurai was a shrine maiden before.
Therefore, it is very important to choose a noble name. Listen, Onmyoji and Miko, are they just coaxing and not knowing how powerful they are?
Among them, in the Northeast of China, their profession is very common. It is not mysterious at all. They are called disciples, or Mr. Seekers, and there are also great dancers, Khan.
Although Du Weiguo has always looked down on Xiaozhi, he still heard about Kanda Shrine, one of the three major shrines.
After all, the Kusanagi Sword is enshrined here and it is also the home of Tsuchimikado Shinto. As the head shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine, Fujiwara Sakura must be no ordinary person.
The yard was filled with the smell of blood. Du Weiguo sniffed and teased in a teasing tone:
"Atsuta Sakura, Atsuta Shrine witch? Why, in Japan, you witches can kill people at will?"
Fujiwara Sakura frowned, her eyes flickered, she answered the question incorrectly, and said seriously:
"Your Majesty the Evil God, my real name has now been changed back to Fujiwara Sakura, and I am no longer a shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine. I have broken up with the shrine."
The Japanese was babbling, and it was a bit difficult to listen to it. Du Weiguo frowned and suddenly asked in Chinese:
"Can you speak Chinese?"
He asked suddenly, and Fujiwara Sakura's tone was choked, and then she replied with a stutter: "Uh, yes, yes."
Hearing the pleasant Chinese, Du Weiguo's eyes suddenly flashed with satisfaction. He took out his cigarette case, lit one, exhaled the smoke, and asked angrily:
"Fujiwara Sakura, did you just say that you have changed jobs and will no longer fuck miko at Atsuta Shrine?"
Hearing Erbi's question, Fujiwara Sakura was stunned again and her tone stuttered:
"Your Excellency, I, I am not changing jobs, but I am breaking up with the shrine. I want to stand on my brother's side."
Du Weiguo curled his lips noncommittally and said in a joking tone:
"So, are you going to side with Abe Sosuke? Do you also want to participate in this operation to kill Aiwa?"
Although Du Weiguo's tone was sinister, Fujiwara Sakura didn't take it seriously. There was a flash of admiration in her eyes and her tone was firm:
"Yes, I will assist the evil god, live and die with you, and completely eliminate the evil god Xiangpan. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."
Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo felt extremely disgusted. After traveling through time, he had long been immune to the slogan-like rhetoric of these idiots, and was disgusted to the core.
For example, if one person donates blood, the whole family~~
"Fujiwara Sakura, let's not go too far. You want me to explain what is going on? Why, before killing the gods, do you practice your skills by killing people?"
At this moment, the smell of blood emanating from the meditation room behind her became stronger and stronger, becoming a bit pungent and making people want to vomit.
"Uh~"
Fujiwara Sakura's eyes flickered and she fell silent. Her black mask trembled slightly, as if she was biting her lip. It took a while before she spoke.
Her voice became a little hollow: "Well, after I left the shrine~~"
Fujiwara Sakura's story is a bit of a scumbag. In fact, she is a scumbag herself. She left Atsuta Shrine this time on her own initiative without consulting Abe Sosuke and the others in advance.
Moreover, she also took away the treasure of Atsuta Shrine, which was the evil long whip in her hand. This thing was said to be made from dragon tendons and was called Chilian.
Sosuke Abe had just deceived the Kusanagi Sword in the front leg, and then the shrine maiden stole the Akarien Whip in the back leg. Atsuta Shrine and Tsuchimikado Shinto went crazy.
Fujiwara Sakura was very young, and she was designated as a shrine maiden when she was young. Not to mention the luxurious clothes and food, she was almost pampered.
Anyway, I have to stretch out my hands for clothes and open my mouth for food all day long. My daily life is taken care of very well, and my ability to take care of myself is basically zero.
Fujiwara Sakura is not familiar with the world, but she is not stupid either. She is afraid of being hunted and does not want to hurt her former colleagues.
She had seen the map before. After escaping from the shrine, she did not dare to take public transportation and could only walk all the way north.
When passing by Inazawa City, she happened to meet one of his one-eyed men who was returning from delivering goods. This guy saw Fujiwara Sakura's beauty and stupidity, so he naturally became evil.
One-Eye and his gang of kidnappers usually make a living by selling children, but when they meet a beautiful and easy-to-cheat single woman, they will occasionally make a cameo appearance, focusing on being a non-picky eater.
This group of bastards has two unique skills. One is that they appear to be honest and eloquent, and the other is their unique recipe for Mongolian sweat medicine.
Fujiwara Sakura had never been out alone and had zero experience in the world of martial arts. By coincidence, these two things hit her Achilles heel.
So, without any surprise, she was let go and brought back to Tianning Temple, the kidnapper's lair. Fortunately, her physique was extraordinary.
Just when Jiang was about to be skinned into a white sheep and swallowed in one gulp, he woke up in time. When Du Weiguo arrived, it was the time when Fujiwara Sakura went on a rampage and killed everyone. (End of chapter)
