Chapter 218 Ready to go

Go back in time a little.

The night is already deep.

In a classical Japanese-style dojo in Arakawa district, Uesugi Kiyoshi was sitting outside the shoji door. The door to the main room was open, revealing a figure inside.

This is the property of the Dongwenhui, which has been transferred to Uesugi Kiyoshi. It is currently under renovation and has now been chosen by Uesugi Kiyoshi as the gathering place.

Because this place is in the Arakawa District, Uesugi Kiyoshi has a feeling that everything starts from Arakawa and will end from Arakawa.

He was reading an ancient thread-bound book at the moment. One could vaguely see a line of Chinese characters at the beginning of the volume - "五輪书".

On the wooden floor outside the shoji door, Rin Kamiizumi was holding a nodachi that was taller than her, and she was having a lot of fun playing with the raindrops falling from the sky with her hands.

In the room behind him, Liu Longren, dressed in a black suit and carrying a knife, was walking around leisurely, looking at the interior decoration. It was unknown what he was thinking - within a few meters around him, even the air became a little colder and had a solemn and murderous feeling.

Maki Higashibune was still wearing a cherry-colored furisode and was sitting properly behind Uesugi Kiyoshi's left. She was looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi's back with an affectionate but not rude look, the corners of her mouth slightly raised uncontrollably, with a sweet smile.

However, Uesugi Kiyoshi felt frightened by the look on his face.

This young lady has given up everything and is not going to stop at all!

Dongwen's demon sword, witch sword, and the members of the community team also sat very straight behind the two of them, all with their heads lowered and not saying a word.

The atmosphere is very tense.

Because there was also a woman sitting behind Uesugi Kiyoshi's right.

Her graceful and curvy body was covered by a green dress, and a green scarf covered half of her face. Her exposed eyes looked a little charming, but her gaze towards Uesugi Kiyoshi did not show any joy.

This is the leader of Li Fuyao's followers, codenamed "Qinglian".

Behind her, there were also quite a few people in green clothes sitting - their sitting posture was not as regular as that of the community team, but they still obeyed the orders and did not speak.

However, the glances between these two groups of people inadvertently always seem to create sparks.

The silence was broken by Toufumi Maki.

She looked at the watch and saw that it was already past nine o'clock. Seeing that Uesugi Kiyoshi was almost finishing a book, she spoke.

"Sir, have you been reading the military strategy book of the Sword Master Miyamoto recently? I remember that you used a two-handed sword, right?"

In Japan, holding the sword with both hands is the mainstream. When Miyamoto Musashi first created the two-sword style of Nitenriyu, he was ridiculed by the kendo community and regarded as a heresy. It was not until his later battle records spoke for themselves that many people shut up - but there are still many people who look down on him privately and think he is a scum who has betrayed tradition.

In fact, nowadays, the traditional kendo with two-handed sword and the dual-sword style with one-handed sword both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and neither can be defeated with one stick.

The two-sword style is tricky and strange. The swords cover a wider angle and are more difficult to defend against.

But if you hold the sword with one hand and your strength is insufficient, it will be easy for your opponent to block the sword with his two-handed sword, take advantage of the opportunity, and kill you with a single blow. There are countless examples of this.

However, these are not a problem for Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Although his size doesn't seem to have changed much, he still possesses monster-level strength, and his sword is not so easy to slip out of his hand.

"Well, I recently bought a good sword. It would be a waste if I don't use it. My arm strength has also increased, so I studied Niten Ichiryu. I have to say that Miyamoto Musashi is a legendary swordsman who deserves the title of Sword Saint. This book is indeed written in a simple and pertinent way. If you are interested, you might as well read it."

Uesugi Kiyoshi handed over the Book of Five Rings in his hand. This was not a common copy, but one that his mentor had studied and annotated.

Maki Touwen took the book, flipped through a few pages, put it aside, and shook her head.

"I don't need to watch. I'll wait for the master to teach me."

Uesugi Kiyoshi just felt a toothache - what was wrong with this coquettish tone.

Miss, you have opened the door to a new world. Has your personality changed suddenly? The previous Touwen Maki was not like this.

Miss.

He didn't respond, took out his mobile phone, clicked on an APP icon, glanced at it for a few seconds, and closed it again.

"Tsk, he's clearly back in Tokyo, but he's still on the run. In order not to alert the enemy, he didn't even dare to send someone to check. He didn't even dare to dispatch a drone. How cowardly."

"These bastards, what are they running for?"

"Hurry back to your lair! Isn't that meeting that Yuichi is attending going to be held tomorrow? Aren't you going to make some preparations?"

He talked to himself, with a rare look of impatience on his face.

As a mystic, Mei Lin does have her own abilities. She got rid of the Collectibles Association's surveillance submersible in the ocean, but she couldn't get rid of the nano-positioning material in her body and seemed to be unaware of it at all.

Therefore, her current position, in Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes, is very clear.

He watched with his own eyes as the woman who had circled in the Sea of ​​Japan not long ago finally returned to Tokyo along the Arakawa River. The map coordinates even showed that she had entered the city.

However, Uesugi Kiyoshi used the association's drones for high-altitude reconnaissance, but found no trace of the woman. He asked the agents to conduct on-site inspections or lower the altitude of the drones, but he was afraid of disturbing the prey. He had no choice but to wait - at least until the woman stopped moving.

Seeing this, Dong Wen Zhenxi pursed her red lips with some worry.

"Sir, you rarely show this kind of expression. Is your opponent really that strong this time?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi thought for a few seconds and shook his head.

"That's not to say no, after all, he's pretty strong."

"Yuichi told me that in his dream mirror realm, Hydra may have the power to shake an entire country, but what I'm worried about is not the difference in strength."

"It's about intelligence. I know too little about those things, and the association's intelligence is also really limited."

"It is very difficult to win a war if you don't know yourself and the enemy."

Maki Touwen wanted to pounce on Uesugi Kiyoshi and smooth out his frown, but she had no solution to the problem that Uesugi Kiyoshi encountered. She could only respond sullenly, lowered her head, and was not in a good mood.

Qinglian, who was sitting nearby, narrowed her eyes when she heard this and glanced at Dongwen Maki vaguely, with a hint of subtle provocation in her tone.

"Sir, why don't you ask the eldest lady?"

"The Hundred Stories Library contains all the classics and stories of the world. There are very few things in this world that the young lady doesn't know."

Uesugi Qing sighed and said, "I called her, but couldn't get through. I don't know what she's busy with. Forget it. I can't trouble her for everything."

"I can handle it myself."

Qinglian chuckled and shook her head, "Son-in-law, there is no need to use the phone to communicate with the young lady."

"I heard the eldest lady admit it herself. She is connected to your star and your thoughts are connected. If you send her a thought in the sea of ​​stars, she will respond to you."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression froze, and after pondering for a while, his eyes gradually brightened.

That seems to be the truth!

Just like when they first entered each other’s dreams.

Why hadn't he thought of it before!

Without hesitation, he concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, and sank into the dream mirror in a second.

Behind him, the look that Dong Wen Zhenxi gave Qing Lian had become dangerous and cold.

Chapter 219 Gray Hall Luo Guanyin

"let me see."

"The sea of ​​gods and the stars of destiny are connected. You are right. I have sensed the stars of Fuyao before."

"So."

"try it!"

I just said that I could handle Uesugi Kiyoshi this time, and he fell in love with me within a second.

In the mirage, he closed his eyes and looked up at the starry sky above the dome, silently brewing his thoughts.

The next second, a chuckle came from far away and sounded in my ears.

"Why, it's only been one day, and you miss me already?"

He opened his eyes again, and saw Li Fuyao, dressed in a blue and white kimono swaying gracefully, holding a green lantern, already in front of him.

"Well"

"It really works. Um. I can't get through to you on the phone. Are you okay? If you have any trouble in Kyoto, please let me know."

For some reason, the question I was going to ask was replaced by these two sentences that suddenly popped up in my mind.

Li Fuyao chuckled and shook his head. Although he appreciated the concern, he still rejected Uesugi Kiyoshi's kindness.

"It's okay. There are too many family meetings at my mom's place. Those old-fashioned people don't allow cell phones. In order not to embarrass my mom, I will just be a good girl for the time being."

"Humph, I'll show them some of my power soon!"

"I'm fine, but what's wrong with you?"

"Don't lie to me, the murderous intent between your brows is almost condensed into a knife. Who made you angry? Why are you so angry?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi then remembered the urgency of the matter and put aside other thoughts, saying solemnly: "Yes, there are some troubles."

He roughly recounted the whole story of Arakawa's incident, and asked with a somewhat grim expression, "So, do you know anything about this [Hydra]?"

Li Fuyao hugged his shoulders, held his chin, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded gently.

"Hmm, it turned out to be that snake."

"No wonder."

"Hydra is not His original name. No matter what, He is still a god. Hydra is just the transliteration of the name given to Him by those countries after His evil reputation spread to the West."

"He also has a name in Japan, and he once caused a stir, but it didn't amount to anything big."

"According to the ancient document [Wakousoushi], there are two gods in the depths of the sea, namely Dharani Gongen and Huitang Luo Guanyin. They are worshipped by the mysterious sect "Guanyin Clan" and serve together [the Nine-headed Dragon Myojin who lives in the Dragon Palace]."

"That is to say, Dharani Quanxian and Huitangluo Guanyin are just subordinate gods of a certain god."

"The Gray Hall Luo Guanyin is actually the Hydra in Western mythology. She often appears in the form of a nine-headed sea serpent, but her true form is actually a collection of corrupted souls."

"The Dharani Power is now called Dagon, which is also translated as [Dagon] in some places. He is praised by believers as the god who reigns over the sea. It is said that he controls the divine power of [sea] and [life] - this statement is a bit outrageous, but Dagon should indeed have some secret techniques that can manipulate the power of life and the power of the sea."

"Their followers, the Guanyin Clan, are actually the Deep Divers, whose data is included in the Collectibles Association. They are fish-man-like monsters, mostly hybrids of Deep Divers and ordinary humans. After awakening the alien bloodline, they will turn into fish-man appearances, feed on humans, and are born with certain extraordinary powers."

"However, if it's just the Guanyin followers, the Qingyi followers I left behind are enough to resist them."
