White Bone Monkey King

Heijo Palace in Kyoto, Nara.

Experts from the seven major temples and three major Shinto shrines in the country gathered here, and they were making a fuss.

The Japanese esoteric sect and the Shinto society are at odds with each other. They do not deal with each other and will cling to each other as soon as they find something to do with them.

"Hmph, this time Dajue Temple really gave us Nara a face. After he fled back to Nara in disgrace, he still had the nerve to summon people and ask our Shinto Society to wipe the butt of your Seven Great Temples and jointly deal with the masters of the Three Realms from the Han people." Toji Shinto. She Gongsi sneered and mocked.

The Master of Dajueji Temple he spoke of was the Master who besieged Nagano that day.

The Master of Dajue Temple was still sitting in meditation like the ancient Buddha, with an expression on his face that was calm. He put his hands together and said calmly: "The dispute between Buddhism and Shinto can be put aside for the time being. This time it is about the cornucopia. We must not let those Han people take away our country." A cornucopia of artifacts.”

"Why does Daikakuji believe that the Nagano Tosai Onikawa family really has a cornucopia in their hands? It may also be that the Nagano Tosai Onikawa family deliberately released the news. The Han people have an idiom that goes, 'When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.'" This The person who spoke for the first time was the goddess of the Hayato Shinto Shrine.

Since the previous priest of the Hayato Shinto Society died unexpectedly, the Hayato Shinto Society has not elected a new priest, and the shrine has been dominated by the beautiful middle-aged woman in front of him.

Despite the fact that this goddess is mature and graceful, with stunning beauty and unparalleled grace, she has actually been in control of the Hayato Shinto Society for more than thirty years since the palace minister died unexpectedly. Her real age is nearly a hundred years old, but she still remains youthful forever. She looks like a beautiful young woman in her thirties.

As for the Nara Shinto Shrine, known as the No. 1 Shinto Shrine, the palace secretary has been keeping his eyes closed and concentrating.

The priest of the Nara Shinto Shrine has a tall body that is unusual among Japanese people. He wears half a mask, and the other half of his exposed face was disfigured by the fire, making him look as hideous as an evil ghost.

Half of it is a disfigured face, and half of it is a masked face, which seems to symbolize ghosts and demons.

Half ghost, half god.

Half demon, half god.

The master of Dajue Temple sang Amitabha and said: "I saw with my own eyes the mountains of treasures piled up in Nagano Castle, and I could buy half of Kangding Kingdom's mountains of money."

Later, Master Dajue Temple told everyone present in detail the various ancient legends about the cornucopia among the Han people.

After listening to this, everyone here had their eyes twinkling and looking thoughtful.

"Is there really a cornucopia in Nagano Castle?"

At this moment, a terrifying black shadow landed outside the palace. The man's upper body was connected to the giant gecko, and his limbs landed heavily on the ground, leaving a big hole in the stone floor.

It was the Onmyoji, a descendant of Ashiya Doman, whom Jin An saw outside the city.

Onmyoji, a descendant of Ashiya Domitsu who looked like a lizard man, walked into the palace with a huge and terrifying figure, his limbs heavy, his eyes filled with gloom and viciousness, and he took the initiative to answer for Master Daikakuji: "Master and I have gathered everyone to discuss this matter this time. I hope to unite the masters from all over the country and the shogunate daimyo to fight back to Nagano Castle and regain the cornucopia of our country’s artifacts! The cornucopia is our country’s artifact and must not fall into the hands of outsiders!”

Everyone present was surprised by the horrifying appearance of Ashiya Michitoshi's descendants, and couldn't help but take a second look in surprise.

The Goddess of Hayato Shinto Shrine covered her mouth with an incense fan and looked at Ashiya Domitsu's descendants of Onmyoji with a peach-eyed smile: "As expected, it is Ashiya Domitsu who is known as the most evil lineage of Onmyoji. His descendants, at first sight, Make a lasting impression.”

"It turns out that you are the goddess of the Hayato Shinto Shrine. My grandfather once talked about you and said that when he was still young, he was already your 800th beheaded man. It's a pity that you can't be my grandma, otherwise I would also like to try it. Taste the feeling of eternal youth and immortality." Onmyoji, a descendant of the lizard man Ashiya Domitsu, found a spacious place, sat down, looked directly at the bulging breasts held by the goddess on the table, and said bluntly .

Um?

The seven major temples and two other Shinto shrines present here, including the two emperors who had been emptied of imperial power and used as decorations, all looked at the goddess of the Hayato Shinto shrine with strange expressions. Unexpectedly, this person was still the same as Ashiya Michitsu. There is such a deep connection.

Everyone has a penchant for prying into other people's privacy.

Everyone looked at the two people with great interest, wanting to hear more secrets that the outside world had not heard before. No one discussed the cornucopia for the time being.

Onmyoji, a descendant of Ashiya Domitsu, did not disappoint everyone. He continued: "I heard that people who eat eight hundred bhikshunis can gain the power of ghosts and gods to stay young and live forever. I also heard that people who eat eight hundred bhikshunis can gain eternal youth and the power of immortality. People who eat eight hundred bhikshunis will lose their fertility. There have been rumors among the people that you, goddess, have eaten the flesh and blood of eight hundred bhikshunis, and it just so happens that you, goddess, have never had any children. It seems that this is the reason why you cannot become my grandma. Wait until this robbery When I get to the cornucopia, I will definitely burn a letter in front of my grandfather’s grave, saying that I met the goddess of the Hayato Shinto Shrine that he would never forget even before he died.”

This person has a narrow-minded character and will retaliate for his anger. A single word from the other party will cause a series of strange stories.

Eight Hundred Bhikshunis, it is said that she ate mermaid meat and lived to be eight hundred years old. Her face always remained youthful and beautiful, and she looked immortal. She was a female disciple of Buddhism.

The face of the goddess of the Hayato Shinto Shrine gradually turned cold. She didn't know whether it was because it was said that she had eaten the flesh and blood of eight hundred bhikkhunis, which offended the senior monks of the seven major temples present, or because it was said that she was infertile.

Seeing the smell of gunpowder in the palace, an onmyoji with a calm temperament sitting next to the twin emperors spoke majestically: "Let's start discussing whether everyone is willing to join forces to attack Nagano and regain the cornucopia."

When the onmyoji opened his mouth, everyone here silently looked over.

The person sitting next to the twin emperors is none other than the current patriarch of the Kamo family, Kamo Orinobu.

On an equal footing with Kamo Orinobu is another Onmyoji, the current head of the Abe family, Hirotake Abe.

The Kamo family and the Abe family are the largest families in Kyoto, Nara. They have guarded Heijo Palace for generations to prevent demons from harming the palace. However, there are also some rumors circulating privately, saying that the twin emperors have long been dismissed, and that the Kamo family and the Abe family, who use the name of their bodyguards to listen to the government, are the "twin emperors" behind the scenes.

There is still an empty seat next to Kamo Orinobu and Abe Yutake. Everyone is wondering, who is this seat reserved for?

"I heard that the princes of Kangding Kingdom came this time, and many experts gathered around them. Yujing Golden Tower, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion sent many experts to protect them. Those who attacked Master Dajue Temple that day He is an elder from Yujing Jinque who is in the middle stage of the third realm. Except for Kamo Orinobu and Abe Yuwu who are in the middle stage of the third realm, only half of the rest of us are in the early stage of the third realm. If we want to surround and kill so many people, It is impossible for a master to leak the information without letting one person go, it is equivalent to committing suicide."

"Even if we force everyone from Kangding to stay, we will still have to face the national anger of Kangding. This is too risky."

Everyone here expressed their concerns, and finally came to the conclusion that besieging Nagano was tantamount to suicide.

"And whether there is really a cornucopia in Nagano, you haven't given us an accurate confirmation yet."

These people are all shrewd and calculating people who are unwilling to take this risk before getting a definite answer.

Kamo Orinobu, Abe Yutaka, and the Master of Daikakuji Temple and the Onmyoji, a descendant of Ashiya Michitoshi, looked at each other. Kamo Orinobu nodded to a family confidant, and soon after, several people were brought into the hall.

"These people are members of the Kangding Kingdom's Criminal Investigation Department who secretly landed on the island. Their purpose this time was to investigate the 'Southern Money and North Money Case'. The Tosai Onikawa family in Nagano minted a large amount of copper coins for the Han people and wanted to subvert the imperial power of the Kangding Kingdom. This matter has been confirmed by Master Daikakuji, and he did see a mountain of money that could buy half of the Kangding Kingdom in Nagano Castle that day." Abe Hirotake said.

"Even so, we can't be sure that there must be a cornucopia in Nagano City, and copper coins can also be secretly minted privately." Some people are still skeptical.

Abe Yuwu laughed: "Think about it carefully, if you really cast copper coins privately, can you alert so many masters from Yujing Golden Tower, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion? Even the masters from the mid-term of the third realm are here. More than one of you. Do you think the truth behind the 'South Money and North Money Case' is really that simple?"

"There is a saying among the Han people that 'there is no storm without fire.' Those princes, Yujing Golden Tower, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion have always stayed in Nagano. This is the best proof!"

"If you are still doubting the identity of these criminal prosecutors and the authenticity of the 'Nan Qian Bei Qian Case', you can interrogate these criminal prosecutors in person. But let me remind you, these criminal prosecutors have tough mouths. Ordinary torture is of no use to them, and special interrogation methods are needed."

Abe Yuwu gave a "well-intentioned" reminder.

Seeing that everyone still had doubts, Kamo Orinobu continued to give everyone more confidence: "Are you curious, who is this empty seat next to us reserved for?"

"Fairy Sword...Sandaime." Kamo Orinobu smiled intriguingly.

"What?"

"Could it be the legendary magician who can channel the Toad Immortal?"

"I didn't expect that the Kamo family and the Abe family could even invite such legendary beings!"

"Isn't it said that this legendary magician has been practicing in seclusion and looking for a way to break through the fourth realm!"

The people present shouted in surprise.

"It was precisely because he was looking for a way to break through the fourth realm that he agreed to take action! The cornucopia can infinitely reproduce heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Isn't this the artifact that everyone in the world dreams of!" Kamo Orinobu looked around and looked at Everyone present showed excited expressions, with greed in their eyes, and the smiles on their faces became deeper and deeper.

Toad Immortal is good at swordsmanship and magic. Although his folk belief is not as high as the Three Gods of Creation and the Great Sun Tathagata of the Shinto Society, his popularity among the people is no less than that of the Three Gods of Creation and the Great Sun Tathagata. There are many folk myths related to demons. There is a figure of Toad Immortal in all of them.

For example, Toad Sento blows a breath of fairy air and can transform the resentful spirit Ibaraki-dōji into a beauty that makes men obsessed. Ibaraki-dōji is one of the most terrifying demons under the throne of the Oni King Tenshu-dōji.

No wonder the magician who can channel the Toad Immortal is respected as a "legend" by many masters.

In history, there are only three swordsman wizards who are known as "Sword Immortals". Following the first generation of Immortal Sword and the second generation of Immortal Sword, this one is now the third generation of Immortal Sword.

When they heard that the legendary magician had also been invited, all the experts present were moved. No one could resist the temptation of the cornucopia.
