Genji said, "Don't be on guard, Norizuka. We need to explain the whole story slowly. At least now, we are allies."
"We are allies with death row inmates like this."
"Senior Shiyuan also agrees with this view. In the face of the current crisis, cooperation is inevitable."
When Yuansi said Shiyuan's name, Dianzuo's vigilance decreased a lot.
Master Shiyuan, do you agree with this view? So what happened?
He asked, "So, what happened?"
Chapter 726: A Completely Different Decision
Bodhisattvas, gods, demons, and even the destruction of Japan
All of this was explained by Kirima. If possible, Yamada Asaemon Norizusa was unwilling to believe such remarks, but Genji nodded and acknowledged it all.
From the way he put down his weapon, it was clear that he was convinced.
This was the first time that the young samurai encountered such a complicated problem. He had only set out to seek the elixir of life for the shogun, but how did it turn into saving the Japanese people from disaster in just a few days?
Dianzuo couldn't figure it out.
"Really? How can you not adapt at such a young age? The world is changing. The samurai masters who maintain order can also kill ordinary people on the roadside for a bullshit reason like being in a bad mood. Now we are just joining forces with our former rivals to survive. Is this difficult?"
Yaza Gobei is extremely realistic. After understanding the whole story, he decisively stood on the side of his brother. Of course, whether he really wants to save all of Japan is a question mark. For a thief, moral integrity is useless, and staying alive is the only thing that matters.
——You never know when he will rebel.
Neither Genji nor Denzuka could think of the above information. The former stood beside Denzuka, ready to speak to comfort him, while the latter was thinking.
The information brought by Yuan Si and others collided with the information previously told by Lord Wei Shan and Senior Shi He. There was a conflict of information between the two.
"But according to what Lord Wei Shan said, the Great Okuni Main God only has ill intentions towards the Emperor's family."
After a moment's silence, Dianzuo threw out the most important information.
That was what Lord Wei Shan told him personally when he left the island a few days ago.
Dianzuo held his forehead, his golden hair sticking to his skin, sweat coming out bit by bit. Two completely different statements, who should he believe?
"Wait for me, Lord Wei Shan. It turns out that the missing Lord Wei Shan is here?!" Yuan Si grabbed Dian Zuo's shoulders with both hands and said excitedly.
Yamada Asaemon Ezen is the first in the Yamada Asaemon Barashi Ittoryu. Wearing an eye patch, he is very popular in the Yamada Asaemon family. He has been determined to be the next head of the family.
In this operation, Lord Wei Shan was also leading the team. But when most people gathered and met Hachiman Bodhisattva, they did not find any trace of Lord Wei Shan. He seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
Now it seems that he was not missing, but entered Penglai early?
"Genji, use less strength. And brothers over there, don't act rashly."
Through Genji, Norizuma saw the Yasa brothers whispering to each other, and warned each other. At the same time, he was also reminding Genji...
Norizuchi didn't know Kirima, but he had been paying attention to this guy who had just joined the Yamada Asaemon family for three months. He had noticed something strange before, but he didn't pay much attention to it at that time. Now that he realized that Kirima and Azadomebei were brothers, he reacted.
——Three months ago, Yaza Gobei was arrested.
If you think about this clearly, you will be on guard.
Yuan Si untied his hands and stood beside Dian Zuo: "I am excited. Dian Zuo, I hope you can tell me, did Lord Wei Shan tell you anything?"
"I don't want to tell either of them..." Norizuchi said.
Yazadorabei stepped forward and said, "It just so happens that we brothers have something to discuss. How about we stay away from each other?"
His tone was quite teasing, but it was a good way to handle things. So they did what was expected, and the Yazuo brothers talked inside the house. Denzu and Genji stood outside the door.
Yuan Si is very concerned about the whereabouts of Lord Wei Shan.
Dianzuo said, "Sir Wei Shan, some time ago, I went to the underground palace to meet the great country's main god."
The communication between the being named Okuninushi and Wei Shan was very simple. He wanted Wei Shan and Shihe to be messengers and return to Japan to make a deal with the general.
God's transaction with man.
This sounds ridiculous, but it's reality.
"So, what's the content of the deal?"
"It's about the Emperor."
Dian Zuo spoke up.
The emperor is a special existence in the hearts of the Japanese people. Even though the power of the whole of Japan is now controlled by the shogun, the emperor is still the nominal leader.
The two could not speak when it came to information at the level of the Emperor. Wei Shan also clearly understood this and only said this.
"So... does Okuninushi really want to destroy all of Japan?"
Yuan Si held his head and said these words in distress. This burly man never understood these messy things, but now that he had to deal with related things, he felt painful.
If I had known this earlier, I would have just followed the team to kill the immortals and let someone else handle it.
"If it's Lord Xiantai, he will definitely be able to solve this problem."
"Sir Genji, let's put this aside for now. Brother Yazuo has escaped."
"!!!"
Hearing the sound of Shiyuan gritting his teeth next to him, Yuan Si suddenly looked up into the room. The wall had been opened at some point, revealing a passage leading to the next room. The two figures had completely disappeared, and the most subtle thing was that no sound was made during the process.
Genji: "Those two guys, I must kill them next time I see them."
Dian Zuo raised his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. What are we going to do next?"
"According to the original plan, we must go to Zhoutian Palace immediately and wait for support from other palaces after the victory or defeat is decided."
"So, where's Master Shiyuan? He went to Taixi Palace to fight the celestial being who kidnapped you."
Dian Zuo fell into a brief silence, and an expression of serious thinking appeared on his young face.
Soon, he heard the sound of turning over and snoring coming from inside the room.
Genji also heard the voice and said, "Is that Rokurota?"
"Yes, according to what Lord Wei Shan said. When he arrived on the island, he was invited here by the celestial being. Rokurota seems to be very special?"
"It must be special because it is so huge."
Dianzuo thought for a moment and said, "Let's go. This matter is full of doubts, but compared to the Okuninushi God trapped in the underground palace, the Bodhisattva is more trustworthy."
The purpose of the Bodhisattva is to sacrifice himself to weaken the Okuninushi God, and this spirit of great love is more trustworthy. Although the Okuninushi God is stronger, his own purpose is uncertain, and he is full of malice towards Japan.
So… isn’t it simple to choose?
The hostage rescue team came to an end. The two members of Yamada Asaemon's family were preparing to go to Shuten Palace, while the Aza brothers...
"Won't that big monk stop our actions?" After escaping the scene, Yaza Tokubei said, pointing at the shining Bodhisattva in the sky.
Kirima shook his head and said, "Of course not, he is a Bodhisattva."
"That's good. Let's start our action!" The thief king, Yazue Diaobei, showed a sly smile. "I'm not interested in killing the celestial being. The way to escape from this island is right in front of us. It would be a pity if we don't run away!"
Chapter 727 The Adventures of Two Brothers
"The King of Thieves", Yaza Takbei.
As you can tell from his nickname, he is a thief.
As a thief, he robbed houses and committed all kinds of evil. Of course, the families he usually chose were wealthy and powerful, after all, those ordinary families had nothing to exploit, and only those samurai families were rich - even the lowest-level samurai had no money, so he had to look for big families.
But this does not mean that Yazadorabei is kind, all his kindness is focused on his younger brother.
"Those two idiots, no, everyone else is an idiot. How can they believe something like Hachiman the Great Bodhisattva sacrificing himself? How is that possible? How can there be people in this world who don't value their own lives?"
Yazuo Diaobei walked in front and muttered. Because of the turmoil, the Taoists seemed to be gathered under the Bodhisattva, acting as nodes to stabilize the various black air in the ground. Therefore, in remote places, the Taoists could not be seen at all.
As you observe, you can see the roof of a palace not far away suddenly being blown off, and a flame shooting up into the sky.
Thinking that the battle had become intense, Yazadatobei shifted his attention to the Bodhisattva. The light he emitted was as dazzling as the sun. The golden light dispelled the darkness and was fighting against the black air emerging from the ground.
No one knows when the battle between the golden light and the black energy will end.
But what does that have to do with Yaza Gobei?
"Brother, where are we going?" Kirima asked from the side.
During the exchange, the two took advantage of the two guys from Yamada Asaemon not paying attention and escaped. Such a method was not difficult for the thief king's Yaza Diaobei.
His hands were not tied, if he couldn't even run away, what was the point of being a thief? He might as well just wipe his neck!
Yazadiaobei scratched his hair and said, "Of course we have to go to the underground palace. If Yamada Asaemon's guys can get out, why can't we go out?"
His purpose was simple, that was to survive. The one-eyed man and the useless uncle from Yamada Asaemon's house could leave here. Why couldn't they? What they could accomplish, couldn't his brothers accomplish? Malice towards the emperor? Isn't that just right? Isn't killing the emperor the greatest malice?
"Brother, do you remember what I said before?"
"Of course I remember. You said that the Okuninushi God's ancestors had a grudge against the Emperor. This is worth using! I have memorized everything!"
"So where are we going next, brother?"
"Go to the underground palace."
Yazuo Diaobei didn't know where the underground palace was. But that didn't stop him from looking for it. As an outsider, he didn't know where the underground palace was. The Taoist priest would always give him an answer.
They captured a Taoist priest, extorted the location of the underground palace from him, and then rushed there without stopping.
The entrance to the underground palace is in a large hall. This is the most magnificent place in the entire Penglai. It is totally unexpected that this is the place where the great demon is imprisoned.
Kirima stood here, hesitating for a rare moment. "Brother, are you sure?"
Yazadomebei stopped and slapped Kirima on the shoulder: "Before, when I saw that your strength had improved so much, I thought you had changed a lot in a few days. Now it seems that you are still the same as before. Don't be afraid, I am here!"
"it is good."
Kirima believed in his brother.
The interior of the hall was magnificent, with pillars supporting the vast space, and the high dome gave people the feeling of a small world. Walking along the empty hall, there were only pillars supporting the dome, and no other furniture. It was so empty that it was depressing.
"Is this really the entrance to the underground palace? Why haven't we arrived yet? Did that Taoist priest deceive us, brother?" Kirima said as he walked down.
Yazadomebei said, "No, this is the entrance to the underground palace. Kirima, don't you realize that the size of the entire palace is much larger than what we see from the outside? Secondly... the gate has disappeared."
Kirima turned around, and the golden entrance disappeared, replaced by an extremely deep space. The hall was filled with lights, and the light from all directions made the shadows of the two people almost non-existent.
