Most inns have a large backyard, which is mainly used to park the carriages and horses of the guests. The inn where this group of Japanese pirates stayed is no exception. The yard is ten feet square. When Chang Sheng went to the backyard when he was a child, The dwarf was looking in outside the hut in the northwest corner.
Changsheng had already suspected that this dwarf was Sasaki. Seeing his strange behavior outside the hut, he became more and more certain that this person was Sasaki. It wasn't that this man was sneaky or obscene, but that there were two huts in the backyard, one in There is one in the northwest of the yard and one in the northeast of the yard. People in China all know that latrines follow the rules of men on the left and women on the right. Only Japanese pirates can not figure out which of the two latrines in the backyard is for men.
Sasaki must have seen the pit in the hut specially for men, so Sasaki walked into the hut in the northwest corner.
Seeing no one around, Changsheng took off the invisibility charm and followed Sasaki into the latrine.
Sasaki was untying his waist rope at this time. When he saw Chang Sheng coming, he hurriedly bent over and nodded, "Ikeda-kun."
Seeing that Sasaki didn't recognize him, Changsheng frowned and glanced at him.
Sasaki didn't notice anything unusual, so he untied his waist rope and started to relieve himself. At the same time, he said in Japanese, "Ikeda-kun personally took action. This trip will be a success and victory will be achieved immediately."
Changsheng also had a slight urge to urinate at this time, so he relieved himself, "Before, I only knew you were a coward, but I never thought you were a flatterer."
At this time, Sasaki still didn't realize that Chang Sheng was himself, and he didn't care about his teasing, nor did he refute, he just smiled.
"You know Li Changsheng very well, do you think there are any flaws in my appearance?" Changsheng asked with a smile.
Hearing Changsheng's words, Sasaki's expression suddenly changed, "Why did Ikeda-kun say this? I only met that little thief once, how can we be familiar with each other?"
Changsheng smiled and nodded when he heard this. It seemed that Sasaki had not betrayed him, because this guy had met him more than once.
Sasaki was not dull and honest. Seeing that Chang Sheng's expression and tone were different from Ikeda's, he turned his head and looked him up and down. At first, he didn't notice anything unusual, but when his eyes moved down, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He turned around and pointed at Chang Sheng, "You Not Ikeda, you are Changsheng-kun."
This guy had not finished untying it before, so he suddenly turned around and shouted directly at Changsheng. Fortunately, Changsheng reacted quickly and hurriedly moved sideways to dodge, "The clothes we wear are very similar. How did you find out?"
Sasaki panicked and then raised his hand in embarrassment, "Ikeda is not that big."
Not only was Sasaki embarrassed, Changsheng was also very embarrassed at this time. In fact, he was not that big. It was just that he was sore and swollen from his wild behavior the day before yesterday. When he saw Sasaki raising his hands and pointing fingers, he wanted to finish pulling up his pants as soon as possible, but he couldn't relieve himself smoothly after the swelling. , not smooth and fast.
"To make a long story short, what are you going to do?" Changsheng got straight to the point.
Other Japanese pirates have almost fanatical blind loyalty to the Japanese emperor and act in extreme ways, but Sasaki is not like this. This guy has never been brainwashed and is pragmatic. When Chang Sheng asked, he immediately said everything, "We are going to Mount Buhan in the Northeast and... Mitsubishi Mori and the others will meet up.”
Changsheng frowned slightly when he heard this. He recognized Mitsubishi Mori. He was a Japanese mage with Dongyuan cultivation. He once stole the reverse scale from outside the palace and tried to summon the blue dragon to destroy the palace and harm the emperor. He had never I thought that the reverse scale had been faked by Zhao Zhuojun using a donkey's hoof. As a result, Mitsubishi Mori had only summoned a donkey after working for a long time, and he was disgraced and embarrassed.
Sasaki didn't know what Changsheng was thinking, so when he saw him frowning, he thought he had doubts about his answer and hurriedly said, "Changsheng Jun Mingjian, what I said is all the truth."
"I didn't suspect that you were lying to me," Chang Sheng pulled up his trousers and tied up his waist, "Where is Bu Xian Shan?"
"I don't know. I haven't been there. Only Nissan Chiba has been. Oh, Nissan Chiba is the bald woman who traveled with us. She was originally a nun. We also have monks and nuns in Japan. You are not the only one in China... …”
Before Sasaki could finish speaking, Changsheng waved his hand and interrupted him, "What are you going to do after meeting Mitsubishi Mori?"
Sasaki did not answer immediately, but ran to the exit of the hut and looked outside. When no one was seen in the yard, he turned back and said, "I heard they said there is an ancient city in Buxian Mountain, and there seems to be a goddess living in it. Ikeda and the others want to pretend to be you." With his appearance, he sang a double act with Mitsubishi Mori and the others, deceiving the goddess into trusting her and taking the opportunity to kill her."
Hearing Sasaki's words, Changsheng suddenly realized that the goddess Sasaki spoke of was most likely one of the twelve earthly branches. It seemed that the Japanese pirates had already taken the lead and found one of the twelve earthly branches. Since they did not know the specific location of Buhan Mountain, they It is impossible to determine which of the earthly branches found by the Japanese pirates is rat, ugly ox or yinhu.
Changsheng knew that he couldn't stay in the toilet with Sasaki for a long time, so he asked eagerly, "Are you sure they want to kill that goddess?"
"Sure," Sasaki nodded, "Ikeda seems to have brought a treasure that can kill gods. I don't know what it is. I've never seen it."
What Sasaki said was consistent with the fragmentary words that Chang Sheng had heard before. However, in order to further confirm that what Sasaki said was true, Chang Sheng asked a question about what he had heard before, "When are you planning to leave?"
"Leaving at Shen Shi, arriving before the third watch." Sasaki replied.
Changsheng nodded, Sasaki didn't lie, he told the truth.
"Mr. Changsheng, I have told you everything I know. I have to get out." Sasaki felt guilty.
Hearing Sasaki's words, Changsheng casually pulled out a reed from the roof of the hut, cut off the head and tail, poured spiritual energy and handed it to Sasaki, "Go to the field and burn it. If there is no chance of burning it, just break it, but it's best Or burn it."
"Okay," Sasaki took the reed rod and hid it in his sleeve, "I'm going out first."
"Wait a minute, are the seven major families back?" Changsheng asked eagerly.
"No, at least they weren't back when we set off," Sasaki said.
Seeing Chang Sheng stopped talking, Sasaki hurriedly raised his hand to him, straightened his clothes and walked out.
After Sasaki left, Changsheng used the invisibility charm that was about to expire to hide himself and left quietly.
Just after leaving the street where the inn was located, the invisibility charm completely expired. Changsheng was not in a hurry to leave the city. Instead, he found and sneaked into the Wenyuan in the city. The Wenyuan is the place where the state capital stores state records and related books. This place usually Very few people come, after all, studying is a boring thing for most people.
The state annals are composed of county annals. They are written and added every year. They are piled up on several bookshelves. If you want to read them quickly, you can find a needle in a haystack.
He wanted to find out the location of Buxian Mountain through state records, but he also knew that this would be extremely difficult, because the Japanese pirates had previously said that they would leave at Shenshi and arrived before the third watch. For four hours, if the Japanese pirates were running wildly on horseback, at least It can run five hundred miles, and five hundred miles away is definitely no longer within the boundaries of Shenzhou.
However, what Changsheng didn’t expect was that Bulxian Mountain was frequently mentioned in the state annals. After accumulating and verifying the many clues that mentioned Bulxian Mountain, Changsheng came to the conclusion that Buxian Mountain was not an independent mountain. , but a mountain range running from northeast to southwest. The entire mountain range is more than a thousand miles long, and the tail end of the southwest direction is about 400 miles away from Shenzhou.
The reason why Buhan Mountain is called Buhan Mountain is because in the local dialect, Buhan Mountain means the mountain with gods.
The Dragon Vein Continuation Atlas of Immortality was previously given to Yang Kai. Now that the specific location of Bu Xian Mountain has been determined, it can only be compared through memories. Since there is no map in hand, the memory comparison is not very accurate, but it can be roughly determined that Bu Xian Mountain is not. There is indeed an earthly branch in the mountain. Based on the location, it should be the ugly ox among the twelve earthly branches.
After finding the necessary clues, Changsheng left the Wenyuan, went south to the city gate, and continued to wait for Datou and others from outside the city.
By this time, Changsheng already knew why the Japanese pirates pretended to be him, because the existing earthly branches were all responsible for the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, these earthly branches were in the same group as them, and the cultivation of these earthly branches had exceeded the Taizhi. Xuan, so it was difficult for the Japanese pirates to kill them, so they tried to impersonate him and Datou and others to deceive the Earthly Branches into trusting them and seize the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
It is not difficult to find out the Japanese pirates' wild ambitions through their actions. They not only want to borrow the golden dragon energy of the Tang Dynasty, but at the same time they also want to kill the earthly branches. He is not sure that killing the earthly branches will affect the Japanese pirates' borrowing of the dragon energy. What kind of impact would it have, but one thing he was sure of was that the Japanese pirates not only wanted to eat Datang's food, but also wanted to smash Datang's pot. This was the most abominable thing.
Before meeting Sasaki and others, Chang Sheng was not very anxious, but now he was extremely anxious. In addition to Sasaki, there were four other people on the other side. He was confident of defeating these four people, but he was not sure about annihilating them all. If one of them escapes, the news may leak out and bring about unknown variables.
I anxiously waited until noon, but Datou and others still hadn't arrived. When it was noon, Datou and others still hadn't arrived.
The reason why Changsheng is so anxious is because the other party is about to leave in Shenshi, and he needs to wait for Datou and others here. Once the other party sets off, he cannot follow them secretly. He can only wait for Datou and others to arrive and then chase them into Buxian Mountain to fight the two of them head-on. Fight the Japanese pirates.
If Datou and others can arrive before Shenshi, and the five of them work together, they can block Ikeda and others in the inn, kill them directly, and then use the trick to impersonate them and enter Buhan Mountain, find Mitsubishi Mori and others, and kill them all.
At the last moment of three, not four, and at the last moment, there was no hope of immortality. It seemed that the lives of those Japanese pirates should not be cut off, and they could only be allowed to live for a few more hours.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from the south.
Hearing the sound of horse hoofbeats, Changsheng's spirit was lifted. He stood up quickly and listened carefully. It was very good, very good. It was the sound of horse's hoofbeats from a sweaty horse...
