,!
Returning to the temple in Longdi Cave, the White Snake Immortal was sitting on the throne, holding a pipe in his mouth, and began to smoke clouds happily.
Different from the posture during the battle just now, although the current White Snake Sage still exudes amazing magic chakra from time to time, his aura seems harmless, and the aura of magic chakra is no longer violent, but full of peace.
Baishi and Liuli stood in front of Immortal White Snake, but compared to Immortal White Snake's comfort, although their injuries were not serious, their postures looked a bit embarrassed.
After looking at each other, Shiraishi was the first to speak: "White Snake Immortal, can you tell me in detail about Miaomu Mountain?"
White Snake Immortal seemed to know that Shiraishi would ask this question. After Shiraishi finished speaking, he puffed out a stream of smoke and said leisurely: "Human, how much do you know about Miaomu Mountain?"
Baishi thought for a while and replied to the White Snake Immortal: "They hold immortal arts, and there are many powerful beings in them. Their common leader is the Great Toad Immortal, who has the magical ability of prophecy. It is said that the Six Paths Immortal thousands of years ago also had this idea Attention, and has a close relationship with the Great Toad Immortal."
"You know a lot."
The White Snake Immortal nodded slightly.
For ordinary people, knowing that Miaomu Mountain can use magic, and that the leader is the Great Toad Sage, and has the power of prophecy, is enough to be considered as a deep understanding.
But the relationship between the other party and the Six Paths Immortal is unknown. This is very top-secret information.
After all, the era thousands of years ago is too long for people today, and much of history was lost in wars.
"Since you know that the stinky toad and the Immortal of Six Paths were very close friends, you should also know that the stinky toad never does meaningless things, nor does it bother to do such things. Its prophecy ability It’s also genuine and not something used to deceive people.”
When the White Snake Immortal said this, he took a deep look at Bai Shi.
"Of course, I never thought that that kind of prophecy was just a figment. However, it was only what the Great Toad Immortal believed. The White Snake Immortal can think that I don't believe in fate, and I don't like my own destiny. Life is defined by other people's 'prophecies'... If everyone had to act according to the so-called 'script' of the Great Toad Immortal, including you, the White Snake Immortal, would you be willing to do so?"
Shiraishi cleverly changed the topic and looked at the White Snake Immortal with a faint smile.
He actually didn't take Miaomushan's prediction very seriously at the beginning. At first, I just thought prophecy was more interesting. To put it bluntly, Miaomushan's prophecy is just an application of fairy magic.
Even though he was regarded as the so-called 'Son of Destruction', Shiraishi laughed it off. As long as his bottom line is not specifically touched, he will definitely be wary of Miaomu Mountain, but he will not completely oppose it... After all, it is a holy land that has been passed down for thousands of years, and Shiraishi does not want to provoke too many enemies for no reason.
The situation in the human world is already complicated enough, and there is no need to involve psychic beasts. However, Myobokuyama's subsequent behavior still broke this bottom line and went on the opposite side of the Demon Country. This was the main reason why Shiraishi had to take action against him.
The White Snake Immortal continued to smoke the clouds with the pipe in his mouth, and did not mind Shiraishi's disrespectful words.
It doesn't bother to pay a single glance to the weak, but the two humans in front of it are rare talents, and it doesn't mind communicating with them on an equal footing.
"Those who need prophecy to exist will regard it as a treasure, just like a drowning man grabbing the last straw to save his life; those who do not need its existence will abandon it like a worn-out shoe and think that it is a treasure. Worthless... Miaomushan's "Tao" is to make choices in the future, and be optimistic about the destiny of a certain existence in the future, and then use one's own power to interfere in the material world, and finally find a core figure to promote that A result is born.”
"This core figure is the Son of Prophecy, right?"
Shiraishi was thoughtful.
Liuli on the side also snorted softly, as if she was very dissatisfied with Miaomushan's behavior.
The White Snake Immortal nodded his huge head and continued: "Yes, the Son of Prophecy represents a certain 'established future' in the prophecy of Miaomu Mountain. And sooner or later, such a guy will have very powerful power to promote The predicted result appears. Just like a thousand years ago, that smelly toad assisted the Sage of Six Paths to defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki."
"But, White Snake Sage, what does this have to do with my attack on Miaomu Mountain?"
Shiraishi frowned in confusion.
He is not very interested in the Son of Prophecy, or in other words, his goal is just to make Miao Mushan withdraw from the future stage, not to deal with the so-called Son of Prophecy.
In Shiraishi's view, the Son of Prophecy might just be used by the Great Toad Immortal. In essence, it was just a 'tool' to realize the 'future', and he did not have to deal with such a 'tool'.
The White Snake Immortal clucked his lips, blew out smoke rings, and stared at Bai Shi with his pair of golden vertical swords: "Your purpose is to unite with me to force Miao Mushan to be unable to interfere with you in your subsequent actions. It is possible to annihilate the active forces in Miaomu Mountain and achieve one's strategic goals... This kind of strategy is very good. Every step is very calm. I don't overestimate myself and never underestimate others. But I still want to tell you-what you do is tantamount to Meaningless."
"Meaningless?"
Shiraishi frowned even more tightly.
"After the accurate results of observing the 'future' from Miaomu Mountain are obtained, it means that your biggest enemy in the future is not Miaomu Mountain, but the 'savior' that Miaomu Mountain has identified."
"The so-called 'savior' in the prophecy is just a tool used by the toads. I have no interest in these things. I just need to achieve my goal. The problem must be dealt with at the root, not on the surface. s things."
Shiraishi looked at the White Snake Immortal and expressed his opinion.
"Is this the root of the problem?" The White Snake Immortal seemed to sense the firm belief in Bai Shi's heart. He didn't know whether he agreed or rejected it, but just continued: "Well, I'll stop here. Since you still have to be stubborn, I I will not interfere with your decision. So, I will give you two options now. The first option, as mentioned before, is that attacking Miaomu Mountain is meaningless and you need to give up this idea. "
"What about the second option?"
Shiraishi skipped this option without thinking.
"I can agree to attack Miaomu Mountain with you, but I cannot guarantee success."
The voice of Immortal White Snake calmed down.
"What's the meaning?"
The expression on Shiraishi's face was a little surprised.
The White Snake Immortal did not say anything clearly, but let go of the pipe in his mouth, spit out a scroll from his mouth, and rolled it in front of Shiraishi.
"This kind of thing can't be explained for a while. The specific information is written on it. After you take it back, study it carefully. If you still choose the second option then, join forces with me to attack Miaomu Mountain. I will also follow the results of the previous temptation and stay with me until the end. When the time comes to attack Miaomu Mountain, just send someone over to inform you."
After the White Snake Immortal finished speaking, he stopped speaking, slowly closed his vertical child, and fell into a deep sleep.
Baishi picked up the scroll on the ground, and instead of taking it apart to check it immediately, he bent down towards the White Snake Immortal.
"Then, Immortal White Snake, I take my leave. When the time comes, I will send someone over to inform you."
Having said that, Baishi did not disturb the White Snake Immortal from resting, looked at each other with Liuli, and started to return along the red steps towards the way he came.
After Baishi and Liuli left and their breath disappeared from the temple, White Snake Immortal opened his eyes again.
"Pity……"
These two human beings are rare strong men among humans, and their power has far reached its peak, and there is still room for further advancement.
However, what makes the White Snake Immortal regretful is that they don't seem to be very interested in the Longdi Cave Contract. And after learning the magic of immortality, it doesn't make much sense to learn the magic of Longdi Cave.
As an immortal, it must maintain its majesty and cannot personally invite humans to sign a contract with Longdi Cave.
Miaomu Mountain, Shigu Forest, and the Longdi Cave it leads all have their own set of codes of conduct. It is impossible for it to take the initiative to sign a contract with humans.
Therefore, although he felt regretful, the White Snake Immortal quickly cheered up and returned to his normal appearance.
The rest of my life is still very long, and maybe in the near future, other outstanding humans will come to Longdi Cave again to seek the power of immortality.
I just hope that the seekers will not be misled by the power itself and become slaves of the power. In that case, they will not be able to inherit the magic of Longdi Cave and will only become food in its belly.
"Humans... are really interesting existences. Stinky toad, it seems that you have met your opponent this time. Anyway, rather than dying in the hands of humans, it is better to let me see you off for the last time."
The golden vertical boy of the White Snake Immortal was filled with cold murderous intent, almost freezing the entire space.
Although Shiraishi's answer has not yet been given, Immortal White Snake knows that this human being will not give up easily.
A battle with Mount Myoboku is bound to happen!
"Give you the ultimate glory..."
◎
Where the Wolf Cries.
The originally magnificent building has been reduced to ruins.
The cold air frozen in the air was bone-chilling, making this place feel like a prison.
The people lying on the ground were all on their knees, afraid to take a deep breath.
In front of them, stood a girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, followed by a wandering miko from the Kingdom of Ghosts, and several ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts wearing chakra armor.
"Really, don't ask me to repeat the same thing multiple times. Hand over all the principals and accomplices who attacked the ghost country's medicine caravan that day, and pay three times the cost of the medicine lost that day. This matter will be settled. It’s past, Mr. Village Chief.”
The girl, that is, Kazuhime, who rushed to the Crying Wolf in accordance with Shiraishi's order to deal with the attack on the medicine caravan in the Kingdom of Demons, she said to the man kneeling in front of her.
The man who is the village chief is about forty years old. He is a little fat, but it is not puffy, but the muscles have expanded, making his body look very big. It is conceivable that this man usually pays great attention to his own exercise.
However, even this powerful force is as fragile as a paper tiger in front of Yi Ji.
The man never thought that this little girl, who seemed to be less than one-third of his weight, could easily surpass him in strength.
However, although he was no match for the girl, the village chief did not show fear in his eyes. Instead, he raised his head stubbornly and stood up slowly under the tremendous pressure, showing that he would not yield to violence and replied with a righteous attitude:
"Miss, I don't know what you are talking about. But your behavior has seriously damaged the stability of the Crying Wolf. If you don't stop, I will ask the great names of the Water Country and the Fire Country, Let’s jointly prosecute you and bring you to justice!”
Facing the village chief's stern words, Ichiji's face remained unchanged. Knowing that this man would not admit the attack on the Demon Country caravan, she turned to the wandering miko next to her and asked: "What are the identities of the principal and accomplices?" Have you investigated everything clearly?”
After all, this attack was very bad. Dozens of people from the caravan who came to Cry Wolf to buy medicine were injured and one person died. Due to both emotional and rational reasons, the attackers here need to give an explanation.
The wandering witch nodded, indicating that the investigation was clear. She silently pointed with her finger at the village chief man in front of her, and then pointed at some of the people around her, indicating that these people were the principal and accomplices of the attack on the Ghost Country caravan that day.
After being identified by the wandering witch, the face of the village chief man changed, and then he thought of something and began to calm down.
"I don't know what you are talking about. I will truthfully report this matter to the great names of Fire and Water."
"In that case, I'll ask you to stay in the prison of the Kingdom of Demons for a while. As for the external negotiations with the daimyo of the two countries, I won't bother you, the village chief. Take these people away."
Yiji gave the order calmly.
"yes!"
Ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts wearing chakra armor walked forward and detained the people they just identified. Ignoring their struggles and resistance, they were all taken back to the Country of Ghosts for trial.
When Yi Ji saw that the matter was over and had no intention of staying here any longer, she was ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, the moment he turned around, the village chief's eyes suddenly flashed with light. When the ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts wasn't paying attention, he quickly took out a blowpipe from his arms and put it to his mouth.
"Miss! Be careful!"
It was too late for the ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts to stop him.
I saw a marble flying out of the blower and hitting Ichi Ji's back.
Kazuji seemed to be aware of it, turned around quickly, and drew out the Kusanagi sword from her waist to block the bullet that was fired at her.
"Haha, idiot!"
When the village chief saw Yi Ji's defensive actions, he burst out laughing mockingly.
The marble hit the blade of the Kusanagi sword and exploded instantly, erupting into thick flames, swallowing Ichiki's body into the firelight generated by the explosion, and the flames burned fiercely.
"I call you arrogant. Now you finally have a taste of how powerful I am. As long as there is this kind of weapon, it will be a country of ghosts..."
The village chief man held the blowpipe tightly in his hand, with an extremely excited smile on his face.
"Even if it's the land of ghosts...how about it?"
A dull voice came from the firelight and fell clearly into the ears of the village chief.
After hearing this familiar voice, the smiling face of the village chief man froze.
He couldn't believe it as he looked at Yiji who walked out of the fire unscathed, and began to stutter: "How, how could it be possible? How could you stop it!?"
He asked as if he was crazy. All the ninjas he had sneak attacked in the past were all injured by the explosion of this weapon. Even if they did not die on the spot, they were seriously injured to the point of dying.
How could one remain unscathed in the face of such an explosion?
Fake! All are fake!
The man who was the village chief raised the blowpipe again and put it to his mouth, preparing to attack Yi Ji again.
However, when he put the blowpipe to his mouth, Yi Ji had already held a short flintlock gun in his hand, aimed the gun, and then ruthlessly pulled the trigger.
boom!
There was almost no gap, and the explosion occurred in the chest of the village chief man.
Suffering the impact of the explosion, the village chief man flew out, vomiting blood, and rolled several meters on the ground before he could stop.
The blowpipe that fired explosive marbles also broke away from his hand and rolled to the side of the road.
"It seems that my bullets fire faster."
Yi Ji put the smoking flintlock gun back into the gun clip on her waist. Ignoring the unconscious village chief man lying there, she walked to the blowpipe and picked it up.
"Is this the firearm you used to deal with ninjas in Wolf Cry? It's a little more boring than you thought. Although it's powerful... it always feels like a product from the last era, and it's too inconvenient to use."
Yi Ji played with it twice, and then threw it aside out of boredom.
"Take them all away."
Seeing the trembling looks of the other prisoners, Yiji knew that the overall situation here was decided.
"yes!"
After Yi Ji's intimidation, these prisoners who were engaged in attacking the Ghost Country caravan actually calmed down, knowing that there was no point in resisting. Therefore, the next escort work of the Ninja from the Country of Ghost became very smooth.
…
As the villagers of Wolf Cry Village watched, Kazuhime and a group of Ghost Country ninjas escorted a dozen people from Wolf Cry Village away, and put chakra-limiting torture devices on them to prevent accidents on the way. .
Faced with this situation, although the people in Wolf Crying Village were determined to come to the rescue, they did not have the courage to fight against the ninjas of the Demon Country who could easily deal with the armed forces of Wolf Crying Village.
Moreover, they were originally at fault for this kind of thing. Who allowed their village chief to dare to provoke even people from the Kingdom of Ghosts by taking advantage of the power of other big countries? He even thought that what he did was secret enough that the Kingdom of Ghosts would not be able to investigate it. Therefore, it is only natural for others to come to settle matters now.
In the final analysis, it was just jealousy that the arms business in the Kingdom of Ghosts was booming, resulting in no one paying attention to the firearms in Wolf Cry. Lang Crying, who made a huge fortune by selling medicinal materials, also wants to make more wealth and enrich his life by selling arms. Then, the Kingdom of Ghosts is their biggest obstacle in the arms market... The root cause of everything that is happening now has actually been laid long ago.
"It seems like it won't be long before this village will also fall under the surveillance of the Kingdom of Ghosts."
Guijiao, who watched all this in the crowd, laughed, looking at this kind of thing from the perspective of a passerby.
"Follow-up processing is very troublesome. After all, the Wolf Crying Village has a deep cooperative relationship with other major countries. We will not let the Kingdom of Ghosts do whatever they want. It might cause another turmoil, but we don't know who will benefit in the end."
Itachi, standing next to Onijiao, lowered his head as much as possible and covered his face with a bamboo hat, so that only the sound could be heard.
"The diplomatic confrontation between major powers has nothing to do with us, and it is not something we can get involved in." After Guijiao finished speaking, he turned to look at Itachi: "How is it, Itachi, have you got the medicine you wanted to buy?"
Itachi nodded.
"We've got it, now it's time to return to Yuyin Village and have a good rest. Let's wait until the next year to discuss our next actions."
After saying that, Itachi turned around and walked, quickly disappearing from the crowd.
Onijiao shrugged helplessly and followed in Itachi's footsteps.
◎
Fire Nation.
Daming Mansion, in the castle tower.
Two figures sat opposite each other on the floor, with a tea table in the middle. After making the tea, the maid in kimono bowed and left, leaving only the two of them.
"Your Excellency Fire Daimyo, the Ninja Village in your country has been in a lot of trouble recently. Is there really no problem if this continues?"
After the maid left, the slightly fat man picked up the tea cup and took a sip, with a sharp gleam in his narrow eyes.
The thin man opposite, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, was frowning in distress and said: "I didn't expect such an accident to happen to Danzo. It seems that he really didn't. It suits the Hokage. However, fortunately, Tsunade has returned to Konoha now, which has temporarily stabilized people's hearts and prevented things from getting to the worst point."
"So, do you need me to hunt down Orochimaru together?"
"I don't need your help for the time being, Mr. Feng Daimyo. One Orochimaru can't make any waves. Our biggest enemy right now is the country of ghosts."
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire said lightly.
The slightly fat Daimyo from the Country of Wind showed a thoughtful expression.
"Speaking of which, what happened in Crying Wolf should not have been leaked, right?"
"Don't worry, although that greedy guy caused some accidents in the plan, I sent people to eliminate all the 'evidence' in advance, and the Kingdom of Ghosts will never notice it."
The Fire Country Daimyo responded with a calm tone.
"In this way, the medicines needed for the war are basically ready. Moreover, the daimyo and water shadows of the country of water, because of the popular riots in the country, hate the country of ghosts and begin to agree to our plan. The land of the earth The country also plans to come in and get a share of the pie, but the Kingdom of Thunder..."
When the name of the Kingdom of Wind said this, he frowned visibly.
Apparently, he was rejected by the Kingdom of Thunder.
"As long as the four countries of ours unite, the Kingdom of Thunder will surely come to take advantage of the situation. This is something beyond any doubt. They have had this kind of face in the past."
"So, is this the time?"
The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind asked in return.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire nodded and said: "Only the Hokage has not been informed, because Tsunade has just taken up the position of the fifth Hokage, and the third Hokage Hiruzen was unfortunately killed, so she is not aware of our plan. . Find a time in the next year to let her know the plan here. Her medical ninjutsu and her psychic beast can play a key role in the war."
"Then please. But I still didn't expect that a rebel ninja could grow to this point. The Kingdom of Wind suffered from his calculations and lost so much territory. It's really hateful!"
The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind couldn't help but grit his teeth.
The Daimyo from the Country of Fire calmly looked at the Daimyo from the Country of Wind's gnashing of teeth. Until the other person's expression softened, he slowly took a sip of tea and said in an indifferent tone:
"Yes, the harm of Qianye Baishi does not lie in one country or one village. He is shaking the great foundation that our ancestors have spent thousands of years building. He is making an enemy of the entire world. It must be controlled now. As he and the Kingdom of Ghosts grow, all the people and things related to him must be eradicated, and no one left behind will be wiped out!"
