Chapter 46 The world has changed
There is a shrine on the back mountain outside the village. When a qinmoto was stationed nearby, he used the shrine as his residence and drove away all the witches and priests, so the shrine was abandoned.
However, there was a fire in the shrine at this time. A group of men dismantled some of the floors of the shrine, split them into firewood, set up a bonfire, sat around the fire, barbecued meat, and laughed loudly.
Looking at the outfits of these people, they all have simple armor. Although they are already broken, they are obviously not as simple as ordinary bandits. They are like deserters who have fallen into bandits.
People are afraid of evil people, and ghosts are also afraid of evil people. With a strong murderous aura, ordinary ghosts dare not approach them.
As for zombies and others, they are not afraid of it. Do they really think that the swords and guns in their hands are decorations? .??.
There is also a girl in the corner of the shrine. She looks pretty but her clothes are messy, revealing some white skin. Her hands and feet are trapped by ropes, and her mouth is stuffed with rags, so she cannot move.
While eating meat, these deserters glanced at the girl who looked like a lamb to be slaughtered from the corner of their eyes.
At this moment, a figure appeared outside the door.
The deserters immediately became alert, reached out to grab the weapons beside them, and looked out the door together.
The figure walked into the shrine slowly, and the fire illuminated his face. It turned out to be an Onmyoji.
Onmyoji looked around and smiled and said, "Can the travelers passing by, roast the fire together?"
The faces of these deserters were a little solemn. In the middle of the night, a Onmyoji suddenly appeared in the place where the ghosts walked at night, and no matter how they looked, they were a little weird.
The deserter in charge stood up, carrying a Nota knife in his hand, carried it on his shoulder, and shouted loudly, "You are not welcome here when you go somewhere else."
Onmyoji is Qi Xuansu. He ignored the deserter leader and said to him, "Come and see if that is your friend."
The little witch holding the Kagura Ling leaned out from behind Qi Xuansu, looked at the girl tied up, and nodded repeatedly, "It's her."
In an instant, the deserters' eyes were staring at the little witch, and their already ferocious expression became increasingly ugly. The blood-covered eyes seemed to be about to bulge out of their eye sockets, and saliva flowed out of the corners of their mouths. This behavior was beyond the scope of normal people. If it were not unexpected, they would sooner or later become monsters.
"Just yes." Qi Xuansu nodded and raised his hand and shot.
The deserter leader suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a deep blood hole appeared on his forehead, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
If you are interested in using a musket, Zhang Yuelu is not as good as Qi Xuansu. If you are interested in using a musket, Taoist Sanxiu may not be able to compare with Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu doesn't give anyone else time to react
, fire guns in succession.
The other deserters fell to the ground in an instant, all of whom were shot in the forehead, which was exactly the same.
Because they are used for ordinary projectiles and have little power, they can be fired continuously. However, because the "Dragon Pistol" and "Dragon Pistol" have to fire the extremely powerful "Dragon Eye" series, it is difficult to achieve continuous shooting.
There is also a mechanical gun that can be fired continuously, and a gun can achieve the effect of bullet rain in the forest.
However, there is still a big problem now. If the continuous firing of the projectile will become smaller, and it will not break the defense against the black-clad heavy cavalry, which is like scratching it. As long as the Xuan-clad heavy cavalry is approached by the Xuan-clad heavy cavalry, it will be one-sided slaughter, so this machine gun, which was predecessored by the "Thunder Gun", was not taken much attention.
It was not until this time that the little witch understood what Qi Xuansu meant by "the world has changed". It was indeed different. If you use a sword to kill, you may be in danger. Bows and arrows and spells will also consume physical strength. You can use a firearm, just hook your fingers.
If this kind-hearted Onmyoji hadn't helped her, she would have fallen into the hands of these bandits.
This Onmyoji is such a great person.
By the way, she forgot to ask Lord Onmyoji's name.
Qi Xuansu put away the musket and took the initiative to explain, "I dare to walk alone, rely on Yin-Yang Technique, and the other is relying on the musket. Yin-Yang Technique exorcises demons and fire guns eliminate evil."
The little witch murmured, "I also want to save money to buy a musket. This thing is much more useful than a bow and arrow. No wonder those warriors say that the men in black in the Central Plains are invincible, which is really terrible."
Qi Xuansu reminded, "Your friend is still tied up."
The little witch woke up like a dream and hurriedly untied her friend.
After a while, the little witch brought her friends to thank him.
Qi Xuansu was a little impatient with this Fenglinzhou custom. Half of the words were thanks and apologies, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, we should go to the shrine."
Of course, Qi Xuansu can try to directly break through the numerous blockades of Duoqi County, and it is likely to succeed, but the follow-up is very troublesome, which means that he can only hide his head and tail like a mouse crossing the street, cannot enter the city, and cannot show up in front of others, so it will be meaningless for him to disguise himself as a Bomoliu Onmyoji.
The key is that after the Ise Temple Sutra was shocked by the Onmyoji Tuomen, he was already prepared and would take action if there was any slightest movement. This is the leader of the three major temples.
,Youzhai, who is in charge of the situation, does not dare to compete with Ise's temple, so instead of breaking through, it is better to get through.
There is a suspension bridge in the back mountain of the village. After passing the suspension bridge, it is within Takha County. Then go down the mountain and walk north for a hundred miles. There is Yoshida Castle, where the shrine of the little witch is located.
Because the merchant's daughter was just an ordinary person and had been tied up for a long time, her hands and feet were unable to move, and she was going to be helped by the little witch to walk. Qi Xuansu could not show her cultivation and directly led the two to run, so the three of them walked very slowly. By the time the three of them crossed the suspension bridge and went down the mountain, it was already dawn.
At this moment, a huge shadow swept over the three of them.
The little witch's face changed drastically, "It's the 'Crane Boat'! Hide it!"
After saying that, she plunged directly into the grass next to her, and Qi Xuansu and the merchant's daughter had to follow suit.
Speaking of "Crane Boat", Qi Xuansu is still familiar with it because it is a product of the Taoist sect. It belongs to a small flying boat, which looks like a crane flying high. In addition, people in the Taoist sect also prefer cranes, so it is named "Crane Boat".
The "Crane Boat" usually can only carry two or three people. In addition to reconnaissance, its main function is to place the "Phoenix Eye" series and bomb ground targets from a high place. Because the "Crane Boat" is small in size, its driving core is a dragon ball imitated by the Taoist sect, which has inherent defects and cannot fly for a long distance. Therefore, it is usually carried on the "Yinglong", and after being transported to the designated location by the "Yinglong", take off from the deck of the "Yinglong", and after completing the task, it will return to "Yinglong".
There has been no war in the Central Plains for a long time, and "Hezhou" rarely appears in front of the world. Many people have only heard of its name and have never seen it before. But Fenglinzhou is different. "Hezhou" is dispatched in large numbers, facing the army on the ground, just like heavy cavalry facing the light infantry head-on, which is a completely one-sided massacre. The surrender and reign faction of Fenglinzhou has reached the point where he is afraid of talking about "Hezhou".
This is also the reason why the Prime Minister's Mansion has never betrayed the Taoist Sect, because Mu Qiang is engraved in his bones, and the strength of the Taoist Sect is obvious to all. The Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion always believes that as long as the Taoist Sect comes out and launches an attack in person, everything will be fine.
In fact, it is indeed the case. The Qingwei Zhenren quickly cleared the inside and outside of Xiujing. The Xuan Armored Heavy Cavalry and the "Crane Boat" were paired with it, and it was almost like a stunning force. The hearts of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion quickly condensed.
Faith is the most precious.
To put it bluntly, why did Zhenren Qingwei directly appointed the candidate for the Regent Guan Bai without any objection? It is that the Taoist sect has failed in a series of wars in recent times, which gave Zhenren Qingwei great prestige and confidence.
To put it another way, respect the school
Why do you have to be assassinated? In the final analysis, you can't beat the front battlefield, so you can only take a different approach.
Now the Taoist sect has initially mastered the sky of Fenglinzhou and can attack at will and be invincible. However, the ground army is seriously scarce and it is impossible to achieve effective occupation. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion and recruit various local tyrant forces.
It now seems that the vanguard forces of the Taoist sect have arrived in Ise, but have not launched a full-scale attack yet, and are mainly harassment.
Qi Xuansu asked, "Where are these 'Crane Boats' going?"
The little witch said with lingering fear, "It should be that I went to the city of Jiuju, where there are many samurai. These 'Crane Boats' have never targeted civilians, but only targeted Daming, the city of the vassal lord, or the shrines under the temple. Fortunately, we are in the woods, and if they see me wearing witch suits, they will definitely not let me go."
Qi Xuansu thought to himself that you know how expensive the "Phoenix Eye" series is, do you know how much "Xuanhuang" consumes, how can you target you, a little witch who is confused about your mind, which is a cannon to kill mosquitoes, and a slaughter knife to kill chickens.
Just as the two of them were talking, several "crown boats" flew over the sky.
Since the "Crane Boat" has arrived, it means that there will be a "Yinglong" not far away. This is not the "Yinglong" that has just met the threshold of 400 people, but the "Yinglong" full of crafts, with all kinds of formations. If the divine palace dispatches experts from heaven to man to block the "Crane Boat", it will become a living target for "Yinglong".
Qi Xuansu was a little glad that he did not fly in the wind and did not die at the hands of the Ise Temple. If he was shot to death by his own people, it would be too unfair. After all, Qingyun, who did not have the exiled immortal, was shot head-on. Even if he had the God of Indestruction and the Shinto Golden Body, he would probably have to be divided. The only thing that could be preserved is probably the "Heart of the Stone of Eternal Life".
The three of them waited for a while, but no longer saw the "Crane Boat" passing by. Then they came out of their hiding place and continued to go to Yoshida Castle.
There were no more twists and turns along the way, and I didn’t meet the “Crane Boat” again. I just met a team of samurai who belonged to the shrine. However, if a little witch came forward, I didn’t make too much trouble for Qi Xuansu.
When Yoshida Castle was far away, the little witch suddenly remembered, "Master Onmyoji, my name is Asai Ding, you can call me A Ding. I haven't asked Master Onmyoji's name yet."
"So you are a nobleman," Qi Xuansu said, "I am a civilian, and I don't have a surname. Our ancestor of Bomoliu called Daoman, you can call me Taoist priest."
