Chapter 277 Old Priest, the Best Person in the World? Report, a Taoist Priest with a Long Face and Phoenix Eyes Has Arrived!

A few days later.

In a luxurious mansion in Nagasaki, Wajima.

"The chief priest is inside."

In the corridor, a child walked in front to lead the way, and Yoshiko, wearing a brown military uniform, followed closely behind, her boots making a crisp sound on the wooden boards.

After the arsenal was bombed, Yoshiko did not hesitate at all and took a boat back to the island.

In order not to be regarded as a deserter by the Kwantung Army.

She made an excuse.

Intentionally or unintentionally exaggerated Li Muxuan's threat, and volunteered to hold a mobilization meeting.

The Kwantung Army may have doubts about this, but the series of accidents also forced them to re-examine the flower-growing alien, which is why they suddenly changed their plans and asked the aliens on their side to leave early.

Soon, under the guidance of the child.

Yoshiko came to a small courtyard.

The scenery in the courtyard was simple, with only a small lake, a pavilion, and some flowers and plants.

In the pavilion, an old priest wearing a white hunting robe, a black hat, and white hair and beard, was holding a fishing rod and fishing leisurely alone.

He looked like an ordinary old man.

However, facing this person, Yoshiko did not dare to be disrespectful and immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Master Priest, you have been waiting for a long time!"

Yoshiko said.

In each shrine on the Japanese island, there is a chief priest, who is the highest status in the shrine.

But there are also different levels between chief priests, and the man in front of him is the chief priest of Ise Shrine, who stands at the top of the entire Shinto religion!

His status in Japan is higher than that of Longhushan Tianshi in flower planting!

After all, Japan has its own national conditions.

When the shogunate was in power, the emperor was submissive. After the fall of the shogunate, Emperor Meiji struck hard. In order to strengthen his own divine power and legitimacy, he forced the implementation of ideas such as "One Line for All Generations" and "Amaterasu Bloodline".

Shintoism also took this opportunity to grow rapidly.

Among them is Ise Shrine.

Because it enshrines Amaterasu Omikami and the tablets of successive emperors, it was directly designated by Emperor Meiji as the top shrine of National Shinto, the main sect of Wajima Shrine.

For this reason.

As the chief priest of Ise Shrine, the old priest in front of him can be said to be the spokesperson of the emperor in Shinto.

The secular authority is much greater than that of Longhushan!

At this time.

Just after Yoshiko finished speaking, the old priest lifted the fishing rod in his hand and pulled up a big fish. While unhooking the fish, the old priest said, "It's okay. I'm just sitting here doing nothing."

"Just when you came, my fish was hooked. It seems that you are my lucky star."

"Don't say that, Lord Priest."

Yoshiko was a little flattered. "It's just a coincidence. It's not a lucky star."

Hearing this, the old priest of Ise Shrine did not continue the topic, but said, "The cabinet has already informed me of your visit this time."

"For the Emperor, the Shrine The people will fully cooperate with your action. "

"Thank you, Lord Chief."

Yoshiko's eyes lit up. She didn't expect to have an unexpected gain. Then she seemed to think of something and asked boldly: "Sir, are you included in the people of this shrine?"

"Me?"

The old priest glanced at her, but still nodded and said: "Including."

"As long as there is a need, I will take action."

"Sir, you are too kind."

Yoshiko's eyes flashed with joy. This old priest not only has a high status and authority, but also ranks first among the four masters. There are even rumors that there are no so-called four masters.

There is only one pinnacle of the strange people on the Japanese island.

That is this old priest.

It's just that after he became the chief priest of Ise Shrine, he never took action again, and he has always been kind to others.

So everyone didn't list him separately.

"They are all loyal to the Emperor."

The old priest smiled on his old face and said, "But to be honest, I have always wanted to meet those flower-growing practitioners who are said to have a thousand-year heritage, but unfortunately, for various reasons, I have never been able to do so."

"Four years ago, I sent my own disciples there."

"I thought about opening a dojo while dealing with the practitioners there and exchanging ideas."

"But those flower-growing practitioners are narrow-minded, especially like to exclude dissidents, and cannot tolerate other schools. Not only do they speak ill of me, but they also sent assassins to kill my disciple."

While speaking.

Mentioning his dead disciple.

The old priest still had a kind smile on his face, and there was no anger, sadness or other emotions.

But Fangzi could feel that the air around her cooled down in an instant, and the weather in Nagasaki was obviously very hot at this time. This huge change made her re-examine the old priest in front of her.

Especially thinking back to the conversation between the two just now.

The hair stood up immediately.

As a spy, she thought she was a cautious person, even when talking to acquaintances.

But knowing the other party's identity, status, and cultivation, she still dared to ask whether the other party would cooperate with her, which was completely unbelievable in the past.

And this can only mean one thing.

I was relaxed!

In front of this old priest, I subconsciously regarded him as a kind and amiable elder!

While thinking.

Fangzi couldn't help but look at the old priest in front of her.

Compared with the previous relaxation, she is now much more cautious, and echoed: "Your Excellency is right, the flower growers are indeed narrow-minded and don't understand the meaning of tolerance."

"Not only the sect, but also the country, don't know the greatness of East Asia's co-prosperity."

The old priest smiled faintly when he heard this.

He knew that the other party was flattering him. After all, this child was not from Japan.

Everything he did.

It was just for the court.

But he didn't care. After all, when people deal with each other, isn't it just you use me and I use you?

Now everyone has the same interests, so they will jointly deal with the flower-growing practitioners. When there is a conflict in the future, they may fight each other. This principle applies not only to Fangzi, but also to other sects in Japan.

At the same time, the old priest felt.

Even though he had incorporated various sects into Shinto for many years, there are still too many sects in Japan.

It happened that this time.

He could use the hands of the flower-growing practitioners to streamline one or two.

Especially those who are disobedient.

For example, Bihe Shinobu, and the Buddhist sects other than Ikko-sensei, can all force them to fight to the death with the flower-growing, and when they are crippled, they will be incorporated into Shintoism.

In his mind.

Footsteps came from the corridor in the distance.

The old priest looked up.

I saw a sturdy priest who looked to be in his fifties walking towards me.

"Lord God!" Yoshiko immediately saluted. This man was the chief priest of Atsuta Shrine and also served as the God Lord, that is, the priest. His status in Shintoism was second only to the old priest in front.

Although he looked like he was in his fifties, he was actually over seventy!

In addition, it was different from other shrines.

As a place for worshipping Susanoo and Takeru, they have guarded the Ame-no-Kanabu, one of the three sacred artifacts, for generations, and their martial arts were much more abundant than other priests.

Just thinking about it.

I saw Atsuta God Lord said, "You are specialized in finding out information about flower-growing practitioners, right?"

"You can say that."

Yoshiko spoke.

Although she took over the department not long ago, Neiyuan Jingui and Sawada did a lot of things in these three years.

Collected a lot of information about the disciples of various flower-growing sects, such as their methods, origins, and deeds. Of course, because the people on the flower-growing side are generally very low-key, some of the most powerful methods are still unknown.

"Okay, I only want to ask you one thing!"

The eyes of Atsuta Lord suddenly turned cold, "During the incident of the Manchurian Railway Company, my disciple was killed."

"Is it Li Muxuan?!"

Unlike the Ise Shrine, which is full of talents, their shrine has the best talent among disciples, and they are like father and son, but they didn't expect that they would be killed there with the swordsman named Uotaku after only two years of flower planting.

The key murderer has not been determined yet!

Some people say it is Maozi, some say it is Li Muxuan, or other flower planting practitioners.

Naturally, he doesn't believe the former.

Although Wadao and Maozi had conflicts before, the old Maozi had long been overthrown and replaced by the new Maozi, who is better at fighting with the Iron Legion.

Even if they wanted to attack the Manchurian Railway Company, they would directly drive a large army all the way to crush them.

That's why.

The person called Li Muxuan is the most suspicious!

At the same time, the other party also has this strength, after all, Takahashi, one of the five masters, was defeated by him.

"Sir, I can tell you very clearly, yes, it is Li Muxuan!" Fangzi showed a solemn expression, but she did not know the inside story.

However, the truth is no longer important.

What is important is that Li Muxuan is alive.

He is always in danger, so he must be eradicated at all costs!

"Okay!"

Looking at Fangzi with a serious face, the eyes of the Lord of Atsuta flashed with coldness.

This time when it comes to planting flowers, he must avenge his disciples, kill Li Muxuan and a group of flower planting practitioners, and then build a high tomb with their heads to sacrifice disciples!

"Hey, Yoshida, you are so old, why are you still so hot-tempered."

The old priest spoke at this time.

"Maybe the one who killed your disciples is the man named Li Muxuan, but remember to put official business first."

"Please rest assured, old priest." Lord of Atsuta was extremely respectful.

Although he and the other party were of the same generation, they were nearly fifteen years older. Of course, this was not the key point. The key point was that he had seen the other party's methods, and he was convinced after that.

To be honest.

He thought the old priest was the best in the world!

"Yeah."

The old priest smiled and nodded.

Just at this time.

A burst of dense footsteps sounded.

Fangzi looked sideways and saw many people in her field of vision, including old warriors with swords, monks in monk robes, short old men with crutches, and a group of priests and Yin-Yang masters wearing hunting clothes.

And these people, without exception, were all masters who were well-known in the Japanese island!

But so many people suddenly gathered together.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Old Shinobi, I didn't expect you to be alive. It must be hard in the mountains, right?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's hard in the mountains or not. It's you from the Ikko sect. I heard that the abbot's first seven days of mourning just passed. Why did you come here? Why don't you stay in the temple and cry for two more days?"

"You are a bunch of cowards who dare to insult the holy monk of my sect!"

"You don't even let people tell the truth, right?"

The voice sounded.

As the two major sects of the Buddhist sect in the Japanese island in the past, they are now facing off against each other.

The old priest smiled at the scene in front of him, and when he saw that the quarrel was almost over, he said, "Everyone, be quiet, don't forget why you came here this time, and put personal grudges aside."

"Hmph, hypocritical!"

Shinobi Ono muttered in his heart, but his body was very honest and closed his mouth.

The people of the Ikko sect wanted to say a few more words.

After all, they are the abbot.

They sacrificed for the emperor and Wa Island. Why should they be humiliated by a recognized scum sect!

But the old priest spoke again and interrupted them, "Everyone, this is Miss Fangzi who specializes in dealing with flower-growing and alien affairs. She is also the backbone of this operation. Everyone should cooperate with her as much as possible."

"Of course, if you have any questions about this operation, you can also ask her."

In an instant.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fangzi.

There was curiosity, contempt, and doubt. In short, everyone had their own thoughts, but no one spoke first.

In the end, it was the Lord of Atsuta who broke the silence and asked the question that most people were most concerned about: "Little girl, Li Muxuan was listed as the number one enemy by you. I think you have collected a lot of information about him."

"Can you tell us?"

Higashi Shinobu's Ono's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is also what he cares about.

"Of course no problem."

Fangzi agreed immediately, and then said: "As for the means, the junior's cultivation is still shallow, and I can't see through it."

"So I sent someone to copy his information in advance, and it should be delivered later. You seniors can sit down and take a look, and then discuss and analyze it together."

"Before that."

"I will talk about his talent and personality."

"Especially in terms of talent, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best person in history!"

The voice fell.

The expressions of everyone in the room suddenly became strange.

They admitted that Li Muxuan was indeed a rare genius, but it was not so exaggerated, right?

How can he be the best person in history?

You know, the last sword genius who overthrew all the major sword schools, that is, the blacksmith in the demon sword Hirumaru, was only seen once in a hundred years.

This is the best person in history.

How strong should he be?

While thinking.

One person was about to question.

Then the little boy who led the way suddenly ran over and said, "Priest."

"The guards at the dock sent someone over, saying that a long-faced and phoenix-eyed flower-growing strange man came. He looked very young and killed more than ten people. When he was found, he had secretly put more than ten boxes into the river!"

"Long-faced and phoenix-eyed?"

"Flower-growing strange man?"

"Boxes?"

The attention of everyone in the room was attracted by this sudden incident.

They were curious about who this flower-growing strange man who suddenly appeared was, and what was in the box dumped into the river. Was it poison or some dangerous goods?

Thinking so.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fangzi again.

"Little girl."

"Do you know who this person is? Could it be Li Muxuan?"

"What! He actually dared to come to the door!"

The Lord of Atsuta was immediately furious, and immediately led people to avenge his disciple.

At this time, Fangzi said: "Although I have never seen Li Muxuan, but from the description, he doesn't look like this, and he has always been very careful in doing things. If he put the box, it would be impossible for anyone to find it."

"So, this person is not Li Muxuan?"

The eyes of the Lord of Atsuta flashed with pity.

In the flower planting, he may not be able to kill the other party, at least not absolutely sure.

But in his own territory, even if the other party's talent is really the best in the past and present, he has to die here today! There is no hope of survival!

"Although not, he can kill more than ten people in a row, so he must be a genius in flower planting."

At this time, Shinobu Ono said: "From him, you may be able to ask about Li Muxuan and the information about the flower planting strange man, so this person must not be let go."

For this.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then the question is.

Who will go?

Just as he was thinking, the old priest who had been silent looked at the people of Ikko Sect and said, "Hongde, I am also very sad about the death of the holy monk. I also know that your Ikko Sect has a great feud with the flower-growing stranger."

"It's just right, you can take this opportunity to avenge the old abbot."
