Chapter 1567 1539. White Snake Shrine
"So, we went for a trip and the information we got was like this."
The night was completely overwhelmed, and the five thousand Lushan City army had already set up camps and started various tasks of making fires, cooking, and vigiling.
Although Akechi Mitsuhide has not participated in the command work of a large battlefield, he, a child of a well-known martial arts family, cannot make a big mistake in arranging camping and maintaining marching.
Lan Eun and A Xiu have returned to the army's main lineup.
At this time, the flames swayed in the surrounding brazier. In addition to the curtain pulled up by our formation, the noise, footsteps and the sound of working are endless.
The map is spread on a temporary table, and all the people who can speak in this group gather here to listen to the results of Lan En and his team's investigation.
"You actually used the power of monsters to this extent, Lord Yilong has fallen into the devil's path!"
Akihiko Mitsuhide looked at the monster army marked by Lan En on the map with unconscious eyes, and murmured in shock and heartache.
"A fewer than two or three thousand~ monsters!" Fujiro Fujiro had no feelings for Saito Yoshiro, but felt sore for the enemy's lineup, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. "It also formed a moving [Changnan]? How to fight this!"
"Not to mention the five thousand soldiers, even if they are 50,000, they will be wiped out! [Changan] will even take a lot of effort to catch a breath!" "Yancuncheng cannot defend this thing at all." Lan En added lightly, "Push the [Changan] composed of monsters, under the rain of arrows that are not painful, under the cover of [Changan], the soldiers guarding the city were exhausted from pulling bows and arrows. . It is equivalent to directly clearing the city defense of a section of the city wall. "
"The city wall that no one comes to guard is at best a pile of stones that are hard to get up. Not to mention monsters, even if people want to climb over, what effort can they take?"
As the fire swayed, many people in the formation were covered with a layer of light and dark shadows, making their already ugly faces look even more solemn and depressed.
After looking around, Lan En seemed to have waited for the time being: "So, can you tell us openly now?"
Lan Eun's words did not have any threatening or tough tone. Even when he spoke, he just looked at the map spread on the table, without looking at anyone.
But these untargeted and unfinished words made some people present react unusually.
Akechi Mitsuhide was also looking at the map and suddenly turned to the position of the main general.
In this formation, the armor of several old flag-born warriors guarding the curtains around them also made a slight collision sound due to the sudden change.
These movements are very small.
However, when only the background sound outside the array and the burning sound of the brazier are left, it seems to be abrupt and eye-catching.
Futi Yoshiro was stunned at first, then subconsciously moved his stool and moved two steps in the opposite direction from Akichi Mitsuhide.
After moving the stool, my head reacted and looked at Akichi Mitsuhide in surprise.
The old flag-born warriors who made strange noises immediately stood on spears and swords, knelt on one knee in the direction of Lan Eun, and lowered their heads.
"Eh?!"
Now, even Wuming and A Xiu were stunned.
Lan En, the only one, moved his calm eyes away from the map and fell on Akichi Mitsuhide.
Akihiko Mitsuhide himself, at this time, gritted his teeth first, as if he had made up some determination, then took off the [Knowing Close View] from his waist, placed it respectfully in front of him, then stood up from the sabba, turned to kneel on the ground and looked towards Lan Eun. "At this point, since Lord Yilong has done this, everyone here is indeed not outsiders. Then let me tell you."
When saying this, Akichi Mitsuhide glanced at Fujiro with hesitation. It made him twist his body in disgust.
"Since His Highness Hide Chiyo is the daughter of the three masters, then the adult must have told you why he was obsessed with collecting spirit stones, right?"
Saito Dozo indeed said that it was the day when he recognized Ah Xiu.
Because I fell in love with a monster, I made an agreement to create a world where people and monsters live in harmony.
After getting old, I knew my limits, I settled for the second best, hoping to reduce the turmoil in this world.
Which spiritual stone, which does not distinguish between good and evil, is full of strength and is very easy to use, must of course be confiscated and controlled.
"The spirit stone is a dangerous thing. The power and the dreamy light can bewitch people's hearts and even monsters."
Akihiko Mitsuhide's tone revealed his resistance to the spirit stone. Obviously, his view on spirit stones is not neutral, which is different from Lan En's view.
"In the lower part. In the lower part, it is not just a retainer of the three great masters, but also a follower of the three great masters' ideals! The spiritual stone, which harms the harmony of yin and yang in the world, should be controlled or even disappear!"
"If you are not ideal, you can talk about it later. If you want to maintain the harmony of yin and yang in the world." Lan En looked at Akihi Kamisok's figure kneeling on the ground, and the [Xuanwu] that faintly appeared behind him, "Now talk about the key."
It may be this concept of "maintaining harmony of yin and yang" that allows the [Xuanwu] with the meaning of "torturtle and snake are one, and yin and yang are aligned" to possess him.
"Yes! I'm just about to talk about the key points." Akichi Mitsuhide knelt down and bowed, "The old people around Dao's three major people actually know this." "About the big snake we don't know, right?"
Lan En asked calmly.
Lan En, including Ah Xiu and Wuming, is normal not to know this monster. After all, Japan is known as eight million gods, and anything with a little magical power can be included in it. It is a form of animism.
The current big snake should be some kind of remote and unpopular monster.
Even Abe Haraki didn't dare to say that he had exhausted all the information about all the monsters and evil spirits in Japan.
Maybe [Bai Ze] has the ability to say that.
But unfortunately, now it seems that Bai Ze and Takenaka Half Bingwei should have been trapped in his father-in-law's Iwamura city with Saito Dosan. "The big snake is called [Night Sword God]." Akichi Mitsuhide said in a deep voice.
"Originally, it was just a monster living in the mountains and forests and swamps, but it was built by the three masters of Dao to worship the rituals and have a divine character."
"Sir, you are also a person who has been exposed to spirit stones. You should know that even if the spirit stones are not used by any secret method, just gather together, monsters or other impure things may be summoned."
No mistakes, one poem, one content, one in 16, one book, one bar, one read!
"Even the accumulated spirit stones will breed monsters!"
"So if you want to confiscate spirit stones and control them, the difficulty lies not only in confiscation, but also in how to properly store them. The three great masters worshipped [Night Sword God] as gods, hoping to store spirit stones in the divine realm in the shrine without any danger."
"But now it seems that the group of spirit stones that gathered two or three thousand monsters should be the ones stored in the White Snake Shrine."
The whole of [Ye Dao God] is a huge white snake, but green plants have already grown on the back and head, so it looks a little dirty. "But how could Lord Yilong know that place?" In the formation, one of the old samurai warriors who were kneeling on one knee at Lan En suddenly looked up and said.
"Although the White Snake Shrine is also the place where the lord seeks the protection of Lord Yilong for [True God], the lord did not tell others the specific location."
"Collect spirit stones and suppress spirit stones. If this kind of thing is not like-minded, the three masters of Dao would never disclose it!"
They were old men who followed Dao San since the time of Chu Ye Yazhong, and even knew Dao San better than Saito Yoshiro. "You want to say it." Akichi Mitsuhide, who was kneeling towards Lan En, turned around and looked at the old samurai who spoke out loud. "Has anyone betrayed the three great masters?"
"It's not necessarily a betrayal." Faced with the other party's questioning, the old samurai was neither humble nor arrogant. "There is no way to take information from people, right?"
"You!"
"Okay." As soon as Lan En spoke, he interrupted Akichi Mitsuhide and the samurai who had already begun to quarrel with each other.
"Yes!" *2
And his voice was like an order, which made the two groups of people suppress the anger in their hearts without delay for a moment, and lowered their heads to him again.
As if something natural, Lan En's prestige in the army has gradually increased to this level even if he did not manage and intervene much.
It was like a quarrel between Akechi Mitsuhide and the veteran samurai. No one was qualified to insert it in the place, and even Hide Chiyo was not good.
Even in the entire Mino country, Saito Dosan and Saito YoshirÅ are qualified.
But now Lan En directly calmed them down, so they immediately calmed down without any complaints.
Futi Yoshiro was shocked and jumped up from the stool. He stood up with restraint and straightness, not daring to move too much, afraid of making a sound. "You are right, spells, guardian spirits, monsters, and many ways to make people unable to control themselves." Lan En first said meaningfully to the old warriors, but then changed the subject.
"But now discussing these things will not result, and it will not help reality. Don't worry, do practical things!"
The awkward character of Japanese people always makes Lan En feel awkward at some moments.
For example, now, even if they are already facing difficulties, they will still focus on a non-critical matter that is of no help, so paranoid that it seems that dealing with this matter can help the difficulties.
There must be an absolute power and authority to stand up and dominate the situation again so that they can calm down.
In this regard, their character flaws may also lead to their dependence on a stronger leader.
Then it increases the 'worship of power' in the personality.
