Chapter 132:

Otoyu said: "I had not returned to Japan at that time, in order to understand the origin of the stone box, I recruited talented people all over the world in the name of research. An old monk told me that the stone box was a demon that was sealed in ancient times. Because of the balance of heaven, one black and one white, the demons can never be killed, and they can't be killed, so there is a great power in the heart, to subdue the demons with huge power, and seal them in the stone box. Let it come out to do harm, and it can maintain the balance of heaven."

As soon as Wu Bingtian heard it, he knew that the person who said this to him must be a practitioner, and he should be a practitioner with a deep understanding of the laws of the world.

The old monk warned Otowa Yuhiko, who was still called Asaka Yuhiko at the time, not to open the stone box, otherwise disasters would come to the world, but he obviously did not understand Otoyu, a cold-blooded and cold-hearted demon who could kill and torture people for fun. How could he listen to his advice, I'm afraid that after listening to his words, the desire to open the box will be stronger.

"No matter how coercive I tried, the old monk refused to help me open the box. In order to prevent the secret from leaking, I had to kill him. People in China and Japan are hiding dragons and crouching tigers, and they can always find people who are willing to help me, so I spend After three full years, the box was finally opened."

Otowa's breathing became rapid, as if recalling the scene of the past again, and even showed a dreamlike expression, completely ignoring the only audience at the scene.

Wu Bingtian moved his fingers slightly, thinking about whether he could kill Otoyu at this time.

But he soon discovered that this idea would not work, because Wu Bingtian noticed that there was a very thin red line on the tatami between him and Otowa Yuhiko.

There is probably a barrier between him and Otowa, or the Otowa Hatohiko in front of him is just one of the phantoms projected here.

Wu Bingtian can of course choose to attack suddenly, but if he fails, he will completely lose the possibility of saving people.

Against an old fox like Otowa, the slightest mistake was enough to ruin the whole arrangement.

Wu Bingtian took his eyes away from the red line and looked at Yinyu, who showed a tacit smile to him. Wu Bingtian sighed, knowing that he didn't act rashly just now, and he was right.

"Then what happened after you opened the box?" he asked casually.

Otoyu said: "At that time, except for me, two craftsmen, and four servants, a black gas rushed out from the stone box, but everyone who was swept by the black gas fell on the ground. On the ground, immediately killed, only me."

Speaking of this, an unusual excitement appeared on his face.

"Only me, that black gas came to me, instead of swallowing me up, it circled around me a few times, and finally got into the sword in front of me!"

Wu Bingtian said, "Didn't that sword jump up and kill you?"

Otoyu ignored the sarcasm in his tone, and asked serious questions: "Director Wu, you say, does this prove that I am the legendary man of destiny, the master destined to receive this demonic energy? Otherwise, Why is everyone else dead, and I'm the only one who's okay?"

Wu Bingtian also found it strange, but he didn't show it, he just sneered: "Maybe you are a born demon, that demonic aura smelled the breath of the same kind, and naturally didn't kill you."

Otoyu actually felt that it made a lot of sense, nodded and said: "I thought about it, it seems that there is only this answer. Maybe it was because I killed people in China at that time, and finally realized that the best happiness in the world is not about fame and fortune, but forever. Endless slaughter just fits the breath in the stone box, so it chose me, and I also chose it."

Wu Bingtian frowned: "The sword possessed by the demonic energy is not an ordinary sword, is it?"

Otowa smiled and said, "As expected of Director Wu of the Special Administration Bureau, he discovered the key at once. It is indeed not an ordinary sword, but a divine sword that is unparalleled in Japan."

Wu Bingtian thought for a while and blurted out: "Tiancong Yunjian!"

Tiancong Yunjian, known as one of the three sacred weapons in Japan, also known as the Kusanagi sword, was obtained from the body of the famous monster Yaqi Orochi. It is rumored that it is all white and has been enshrined in Atsuta Shrine for many years. Even the emperor did not want to see it. can see.

In the Edo period, a priest recorded what it looked like, and then he was cursed to death, which made the Amazumi Cloud Sword itself even more mysterious. But outsiders would never have imagined that the sword had been obtained by Otoyu as early as the early 1940s, and even used it to refine demonic energy.

With Otoyu's identity and connections, it is naturally more convenient than others to do these things.

Yin Yu nodded: "Tiancong Yunjian is worthy of the name of the divine weapon. It not only absorbs all the magic energy, but also can inject the magic energy into my body little by little, so that I can use it for my own use. The painful sequelae caused my head disease. But since I slowly merged with the demonic energy, I felt that my body had changed a lot. Even the headache was not cured without medicine. Aging is also delayed. Now, as long as I take a fresh heart regularly, I can maintain my life and strength. Do you think this is amazing?"

Wu Bingtian said: "Tiancong Yunjian is known as a Japanese artifact and is heavily guarded. Even if you are a royal family, they may not be willing to let you take it out easily, and they are polluted with demonic energy, right?"

Otoyu laughed: "You are wrong! Where is Tiancong Yunjian an artifact, since it came from the body of a demon, of course it is a veritable demon sword. Who else can control it except me? But without the demonic energy in that stone box, In the end, I can't find that opportunity. How many people in ancient and modern times wanted to get the secret from Tiancong Yunjian, but they came back, only me! Only I met by fate, merged with the magic energy in the stone box, and became a human being. Only the devil is qualified to become the master of Tiancong Yunjian!"

Wu Bingtian said with disdain: "You are not old enough to waste your time, but your knowledge is so short! The Popeye that we killed in Southeast Asia before is a real monster, and you are just a mouse hiding in the gutter with the help of demonic energy. , what is there to brag about?"

Otoyu didn't care that he deliberately angered himself, and laughed: "Bo Beiye? That's just a phantom clone of the Six Desires Demon King, not the Demon King himself at all. It's just because it is separated from the main body and has self-consciousness, it So self-righteous, Song En is also an idiot who overestimates his ability. He even thinks that he can become a devil with this credit. If he could have handed the devil's energy into my hands earlier, why should I delay it for so long? But not now. Late, because I already have more ambitious goals, and have been gradually achieved."

Wu Bingtian: "Stone tablet."

Otoyu smiled mysteriously: "Yes, the stone tablet. Do you think it's useful for you to stop me from destroying the stone tablet? Actually, what I told you was just what I wanted to tell you."

Wu Bingtian's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm: "Your information about the stele was also stolen from China. Do you think we wouldn't know it, why do you want to make it a mystery?"

Otoyu shook her head: "You won't know. Because some of the information was obtained from the magic energy after I merged with the magic energy in that stone box."

Wu Bingtian wanted to wait for him to say the most crucial information, but Otoyu stopped and refused to say any more.

He gave Wu Bingtian a sly look, as if to see through his calm anxiety.

"Director Wu, I have two suggestions now, would you like to hear them?"

Wu Bingtian: "I've been sitting here listening to your nonsense for so long. You still ask me if I want to hear it?"

Otoyu smiled and said: "The first suggestion is to switch to my camp. You know, I'm from a royal family. Even if I change my name now, I still have unlimited money and resources. In Japan, there is nothing that I can't do. I I heard that Director Wu’s favorite thing is to be an official, but how much can a mere deputy director of the Special Administrative Bureau give you?”

Wu Bingtian snorted coldly: "What a joke! I've left the director of China's Special Administration Bureau inappropriate, and came to you to be a smaller official?"

Otoyu said: "China is rich in resources, but you also have many restrictions. If you are in Japan, it will be different. I can let you control the priests and Onmyoji throughout Japan. As for money and power, it is even more numerous. Wait until Darkness has come to the world completely, and the whole world has been swallowed by demonic energy, those who looked down on you and held down your official position in the past will crawl under your feet, weep bitterly, and beg your forgiveness."

Wu Bingtian was suspicious: "Darkness has come completely, when is it?"

Otowa smiled: "You don't need to know now."

Wu Bingtian: "What about the second suggestion?"

Otoyu: "The second suggestion is naturally the same as your colleague, Dong Jilan, or Ding Lan."

Wu Bingtian narrowed his eyes. "It seems that Ding Lan has already died in your hands."

Otoyu laughed: "Do you want to see him?"

He clapped his hands, and the surrounding environment became pitch-dark. It was like being in a closed room when the lights were suddenly turned off, and Otoyu disappeared out of thin air. Although Wu Bingtian knew that the other party was ready, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he didn't act rashly just now. , otherwise you will definitely fall into the trap.

A dim light flickered and flickered, floating in from outside.

Wu Bingtian seemed to feel something, turned his head suddenly, and saw a boy walking slowly with a white round lantern.

The boy looked ordinary, no matter how he looked at it, he was not Ding Lan.

"Don't you want me to see Ding Lan? Where is he?" Wu Bingtian said coldly.

"Ding Lan's heart has been eaten by me, and my body has been refined with demonic energy. I'm afraid you won't be able to see it. The only thing you can see is probably this lantern." Thinking of the dark place of the name, it seems to be in front, beside the ear, and it seems to be in all directions, everywhere.

"It was his corpse oil that was used to light this lantern. Director Wu, this is the only memory your colleague has left in this world."

If you can hold back when you hear this sentence, you are not a man, and you can't even be called a person.

Wu Bingtian felt that he was at least a human being, especially compared to the beast like Otoyu, he was simply a unique saint.

He did not choose to endure any longer, but suddenly burst out, a little gray shadow jumped out of his hand, but instead of jumping at the boy holding the lantern, he jumped to a certain point on his right!

In the darkness, someone seemed to let out a snort. Wu Bingtian felt that his whip had indeed hit something, but there was still darkness in front of him. He could only use his senses to make a move. He couldn't help thinking of Long Shen and Tang Jing, hoping that they would have some progress.

...

At noon, Atsuta Shrine is relatively quiet. Tourists from the tour group either finished their visit and went to eat, or they came in the afternoon. At this time, there were more individual tourists or locals, and many people wore traditional costumes and brought them along. The old and the young came over, and Long Shen, who was dressed in casual clothes and a backpack, was among them. Because of his tall and straight stature, even wearing sunglasses, he attracted a lot of attention.

After the three of them arrived in Tokyo, they acted separately. Wu Bingtian was in the light, Tang Jing was in the dark, and Long Shen was in the middle. He did not pretend to be a bone-shrinking skill like Wu Bingtian, but his face was slightly modified. Become not so handsome, at best can only be regarded as good-looking.

"Sir, are you a photographer?" A young girl couldn't help but approached.

"It can only be regarded as an amateur photographer." Long Shen took off his sunglasses and grinned. People who had seen Long Shen before would never contact this sunny and vigorous photography enthusiast with the unsmiling Deputy Director of the Special Administration Bureau. in one piece.

Long Shen showed the girl the photo in his camera, which attracted the girl's amazement: "This level is the same as that of a professional, you are so humble!"

If the winter solstice is here, he will be surprised to see his master spit out fluent Japanese without even thinking about it. The pronunciation is a standard Tokyo accent, so that the girl completely believes his words and regards him as a frequent traveler around the world. of Japanese.

Long Shen could have gone in alone, but a man and a woman walking together, the goal is always smaller than walking alone. The two walked and strolled. Long Shen is now a photography enthusiast. Make the girl admire endlessly, and the goodwill is multiplied.

The two chatted while walking and entered the shrine all the way.

"Sorry, Jiazi, I'm going to the bathroom, do you want to go somewhere else first?" Long Shen said.

The girl hurriedly said: "Just go, I'll stroll around here first, and wait for you to come out!"

Long Shen nodded, turned his head and walked to the public restroom.

Entering the single room in the bathroom, he locked the door and took out three short incense sticks and a small porcelain bottle from his pocket.

The porcelain vase contained a talisman stained with Li Ying's blood. Before they set off that day, Li Ying's master in Maoshan specially sent it. With this thing, Long Shen can find Li Ying's location.

As soon as he entered the shrine, he was keenly aware that there was a vague aura here. According to the time, Wu Bingtian and Tang Jing agreed with him to act on the same day. Whether the fluctuations in the world came from Wu Bingtian or Tang Jing.

Long Shen's hands didn't stop at all, he lit the short incense and inserted it into the porcelain vase.

The incense curled up, but fell down in mid-air, as if an invisible hand pinched the smoke and forcibly twisted it in one direction.

Long Shen looked in that direction, and the topographic map of the shrine that he had seen before appeared in his mind, and immediately found the direction the smoke was pointing.

He snuffed out the cigarette, threw the short incense into the toilet and flushed it with water, then cut his fingers and dripped blood into the porcelain bottle. After doing all this quickly, he put the porcelain bottle back into his pocket, opened the door and washed his hands and dried. Step out of the bathroom without stopping for a moment.

The whole process only took a few minutes. The girl who was hanging out outside was not at all annoyed by being neglected. Just when she wanted to invite Long Shen to visit the treasure hall, she saw the other party apologize apologetically: "I just received a call from a Local friends heard that I was coming and wanted to come and play with me, I'm afraid we won't be able to go shopping any more."

The girl was a little disappointed and couldn't help but said, "If he doesn't mind..."

Long Shen showed an embarrassed smile: "Sorry, she's a girl."

The girl understood immediately, and she forced a smile: "That's okay, I'll give you the phone. When you stay here these days, if you want to go anywhere, I can be your guide, Mr. Tanaka."

Under the cherry blossom trees, there are few tourists. Occasionally, they look at this man and a woman. The man is handsome and tall, the girl is beautiful and charming, and she speaks shyly and timidly, which is inevitably reminiscent of the scene of first love.

The truth is far from what other people imagined. Although the girl has a good impression of Long Shen, but the two met by chance, Long Shen just used each other as a cover up. Someone walking along, asking and answering questions, is obviously more natural than him visiting around alone. Much more, there is indeed no doubt on the way.

Long Shen said goodbye to the girl, then left in a hurry in the eyes of the other party's loss, and walked towards the gate.

He went out of the main entrance, but turned in the other direction, walked around the shrine's periphery, turned from the main road into the small road, and finally stopped in one place.

Long Shen took out the small porcelain bottle, and suddenly there was a plume of blue smoke inside, rising slowly, just like in the bathroom just now, the smoke broke midway and pointed forward.

This method of tracing people is taught by the Maoshan sect. It is a bit similar to He Yu's search for his junior and junior brothers in Guangzhou. From this, you can also see the Taoist search for people, and most of them are similar in purpose.

Long Shen's eyes fell on the corner of the wall.

There are three flowers growing there.

Flowers are wild flowers, the most common variety on the roadside. They can be seen everywhere. They grow at a high latitude, are resistant to cold and drought, and can decorate the grass. At this time, it is winter, but the warm sun is melting, and the flowers and trees are gently swaying. The years are quiet and time is good. Leisurely.

But that's not why Longshen watched them.

Three wild flowers grow side by side, both left and right move with the wind, only the middle one, motionless, as if the whole body is firmly stuck by invisible things.

Long Shen suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out the wild flower in the middle.

He also used a little strength, ordinary wildflowers would not be so difficult to pick.

As he picked the flowers, the scene in front of him also changed.

The stone wall that had no way to go in front of it suddenly formed a door, and the door trembled slightly, like a highway with distorted vision after being steamed in high temperature weather. Long Shen did not hesitate, pushed the door open, and walked in directly. .

After the whole person did not enter the door immediately, the stone wall returned to its original state, except for the missing wild flower, everything was the same as before.

Several tourists passed by and took a group photo by the stone wall, not realizing anything unusual.

And Long Shen knew that the gate was actually an enchantment, and the wild flowers were the key to triggering the enchantment. He has now entered the enchantment, and it is still in the shrine, but it is not a shrine. This is another space opened up by magic, just like the rooftop of the Special Administration Bureau.

However, the roof of the Special Administration Bureau is the work of a collection of digital masters. It is slightly inferior here. There is no rotation of the seasons, and there is no change of day and night. Long Shen looked up and saw the position and shape of the cloud above his head, starting from just now. It has never moved.

The stone bricks on the ground were neatly laid out, and a path stretched from under his feet to the door of the house in front.

The light smoke from the porcelain bottle rose intermittently, pointing to the room.

Long Shen walked forward slowly along the path, but when he took the sixth step, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed again. His feet became a crater of boiling lava, and the path he walked became A chain bridge that only one person can barely pass through.

Surrounded by a sea of ​​flames, sparks splashed, and rolling heat waves evaporated from the lava underneath. In a short while, the shoes became hot and almost melted, and the corners of the clothes were stained by the splashing sparks, and soon a small piece was scorched, under the iron bridge. The wooden boards were baked at high temperature, the pieces broke and fell into the sea of ​​​​melting, leaving only a few isolated iron cables on the bridge. After the wooden boards were gone, each of them was at least five or six steps away, and it was difficult to maintain basic body balance by stepping on it. It's hard, let alone crossing the chain bridge.

A little spark splattered on the back of his hand, and the pain quickly traveled from the skin to the nerves.

Long Shen knows that all this is not a simple illusion, but the product of the combination of illusion and reality. Since Otoyu has transformed into a demon, he must have mastered the ability to distort space, overlapping the real sea of ​​lava and the place here, creating a The space where the real and the fake are blended is the same as the rooftop of the Special Administration Bureau.

If it is an ordinary practitioner, nine times out of ten, it will think that this is just an ordinary illusion, but if one accidentally steps on the air and falls, it will inevitably fall into the real magma, and there will be no bones left.

Long Shen's expression remained the same, when he turned his wrist, a long sword was added to his right hand.

He let go of his hand and let the long sword fall straight to the lava, but when it fell halfway, the sword suddenly stopped, and then turned sharply, but flew up and landed at the feet of Longshen. Turned into a golden avenue, directly covering the chain bridge.

Long Shen walked past, the sword body was as steady as a rock, and even the iron bridge did not shake at all.

In just a moment, he had already walked the entire iron chain bridge, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. The courtyard was still the same courtyard, and the path was still the same path. Without any hesitation, Long Shen opened the door directly to both sides.

In a very ordinary Japanese-style room, Li Ying sat cross-legged in the middle of the room. There was a boy beside him, holding a plate, as if he was going to deliver meals to Li Ying.

Hearing the movement of the door, the two of them walked towards the door.

Li Ying was overjoyed: "Dragon Bureau!"

The boy was startled when he saw the face of the stranger, and he reprimanded: "Who are you, get out!"

Long Shen naturally did not go out, but strode towards them.

The boy let out a low roar and rushed towards Longshen. Halfway through, he turned into a white wolf, with a **** mouth and fangs, extremely fierce.

"Long Bureau be careful!"

"How is the situation now?"

Long Shen asked, and turned his head to avoid the fierce attack of the opponent, but the white wolf moved extremely quickly. As soon as he landed, he folded his body and attacked again. Long Shen made a random move, and the sword light swept in from the outside and flew steadily. In his hand, he raised the sword and swept it away, the wind whistled, the snakes danced wildly, the white wolf was caught in the middle of the waist and abdomen by the sword wind, and there was a bone-deep wound in an instant.

Li Ying seemed to be trapped by something. Seeing Long Shen's arrival, he still sat still, but he could speak without hindrance. He also knew that Long Shen's time was limited, and he would alarm Yinyu at some point, so he was busy with the situation of several people. tell.

"Ding Lan is dead, Yu Buhui's whereabouts are unknown, and I am trapped by the barrier! Otoyu is very powerful, much more powerful than human demons, he seems to have completely become a demon, and he still has very powerful magic weapons and demons in his hands. Beast, I watched Otoyu burn Ding-ge’s body with my own eyes, and use the oil to refine the lamp—”

Having said this, Li Ying choked for a moment, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and barely finished speaking.

"Yonyu didn't kill me because she wanted me to be a bait and lead you to come here, Dragon Bureau, don't worry about me, Yinyu must have put a ban on me, and there are more powerful means..."

As soon as these words were finished, the white wolf was beheaded by Long Shen with a sword, and Li Ying suddenly disappeared in place. The messy room seemed to have triggered some mechanism, and instantly turned into an overlapping space composed of dozens of mirror images. There is an identical room in every room, and the same Li Ying is trapped in each room.

Every Li Ying looked anxious and shouted for the Dragon Bureau. Their voices overlapped and reverberated countlessly, and they couldn't tell the truth from the false.

"Long Shen."

A voice came from afar, ethereal, old and gloomy.

"It's finally time for you. I thought that with just one Wu Bingtian, he would really dare to come and save people."

Long Shen moved slowly in the mirrored space, as if trying to find the source of the sound.

Seeing this, Yinyu laughed: "Don't waste your energy, I'm not in the space at all, this space is perfect, you can't find any flaws, I'd like to see if the famous Director Long is really that powerful!"

Long Shen said: "There is no absolute perfection in the world. Every formation and space has a fulcrum."

Otoyu: "I'm afraid your companion will be dead before you can find a solution, and your Director Wu has been caught by me now. But don't worry, I won't kill those ordinary people as easily as I did. You kill them, you are my rare and precious prey, and I want to make the most powerful monsters in the world on you."

Long Shen's movements were not affected at all by his words. He walked slowly in the space, stopping from time to time, as if to observe the movement around him.

Whether Wu Bingtian was captured, whether Yinyu was lying, did not leave the slightest disturbance in Long Shen's heart.

Through a mirror, Otowa could clearly see the enemy trapped in the mirrored space, just like real-time surveillance, the corner of his mouth smirked, that was the hunter's ambition for the prey.

"I heard that Long Shen is not human." He said.

"I have also heard such rumors, and I also heard that his real body is the famous Chinese Seven Star Longyuan Sword." The person sitting next to Yinyu was the one who went to Yinchuan to destroy the stone tablet, and was later captured. Fujikawa Aoi, who had lost half her life when she returned to Japan.

The other party's face was pale, and his body became more and more stooped. He no longer had the cold and solemn majesty he had on Changbai Mountain when he first arrived in China, and was more like a little old man from an ordinary family.

But this little old man was once a powerful figure in the Japanese practice world.

"Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword?" Otoyu smiled playfully.
