Soon, after Xiao Ling absorbed this rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth for his own use, the protective aura disappeared. He smiled at Qianhe with a rare victory but not arrogance: "Priest Qianhe's Tantric Mantra The handprints are indeed mysterious and unpredictable. Seeing them today makes this trip worthwhile." Chizuru collected her mind, bowed slightly and praised sincerely: "Takeda-kun's martial arts are unfathomable, how can Chizuru's sparks dare to compete with the bright moon? On the contrary, Thank you Takeda-kun for showing mercy and making Takeda-kun laugh."

At this moment, not only Toyotomi Shangwu, but also Yagyu, Ito and other samurai have sincerely admired Xiao Ling from the bottom of their hearts. Their voices were slightly different, expressing similar meanings: "Takeda-kun is superb in martial arts, and his skills surpass all others. I I am convinced that today I have seen Takeda-kun’s amazing skills, and we have benefited a lot. I hope that if Takeda-kun is free in the future, he may come and exchange experiences with Priest Chizuru. If we are lucky enough to be able to observe, we will definitely do so for the rest of our lives. Benefit.”

Xiao Ling was very pleased with their compliments, so he accepted the flattery with disrespect, nodded without humility, and then sighed: "It's a pity that I still can't find a magic weapon worthy of drawing my sword. It's really It’s a big pity.”

Chizuru smoothed the three thousand green hair on her head with a gentle movement, and asked gently with her eyes: "I wonder what kind of weapon can be regarded as a magic weapon, so that Takeda-kun can be so impressed that he regrets drawing the sword?"

"I've heard that Priest Qianhe holds the magical Pheasant Sword. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to have a quick look at it?" Xiao Ling's tone was calm and indifferent, but he dropped the bomb. This sentence bombarded everyone's ears. In the hearts of the Japanese, the Kusanagi Sword, the Yata Mirror, and the Qiongquyu are collectively called the three greatest artifacts, and they are absolutely sacred existences in the hearts of the Japanese. Therefore, even if many people know that the Kusanagi Sword is in the hands of Chizuru, maybe it is not It is true that there are some ambitious people who want to take the Kusanagi Sword as their own, but no one has ever dared to openly ask Chizuru to see the Kusanagi Sword. This Takeda Nozomi actually dared to ask it openly? It's art Are you brave enough to be an expert, or are you so arrogant that you look down on others and even look down upon Priest Qianhe?[

Qianzhe's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Fengcheng Shenwu intentionally. The latter secretly complained that he was the one who brought her, and it was he who told Qianzhe that Takeda-kun wanted to see her, but he definitely didn't. He didn't dare to reveal to Takeda-kun the news that the Kusanagi Sword was in the hands of Priest Chizuru. Everything was just his own guess.

"Takeda-kun is joking. If you want to see the Kusanagi Sword, you should go to Atsuta Shrine instead of asking Qianhe here. Even though Chizuru is a great priest, he would not dare to take the Kusanagi Sword out privately." Her complexion changed quickly and she recovered quickly. She had a soft smile on her face, covering up her fleeting look of surprise, and pretended to be confused with a slight smile.

Xiao Ling shook his head slightly: "No, no, no, I'm talking about the real Pheasant Sword. I'm not interested in imitations. Only the real Pheasant Sword is qualified to compete with my sword."

Chizuru still refused to admit it, covered her lips and said with a sweet smile: "Takeda-kun, did you drink a few more drinks before coming here, so your mind is confused? The Kusanagi Sword is just a legendary artifact. Where does it exist in reality? Does it really exist? , then the ones in Atsuta Shrine are genuine, how can we talk about imitations?"

Xiao Ling also laughed. After laughing for a while, the laughter stopped suddenly, and then he said seriously: "I think Priest Qianhe was joking. You should know that people like us who pursue the pinnacle of martial arts, in order to maintain You are sober-minded and have never drank alcohol, so how could you drink too much?"

Qianzuru looked at him with bright eyes and remained silent. Everyone was guessing in their hearts that Takeda-kun was so taboo with words. Did he anger Priest Qianzuru? Sakura also secretly sweated. Now that it happened, he She is no longer worried about Xiao Ling's safety, because with his martial arts, even Japan's hidden great masters can't hurt him. What she is worried about is that if Qianhe is angered by this, the trip may be in vain.

Qianzhe didn't smile during the silence. After a long time, her eyes and voice became slightly gloomy. She stared at Xiao Ling and said, "Takeda-kun, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

"It's a blessing." Xiao Ling knew that there must be something she couldn't say to Toyotomi Shotake and others, so she wanted to tell him in private. He glanced at Sakura and said, "Priest Chizuru, can you let Sakura come with us? , she is my fiancée, if you have anything to say to me, tell her and say goodbye."

Chizuru glanced at the cherry blossoms and nodded slightly: "Of course, please come with me." After that, she said to Toyotomi Naotake and others, "Chizuru, Takeda-kun and Miss Chiba have something to discuss, and I would like to excuse you. If you have some free time, please feel free to stay and discuss the ways of martial arts. If you are troubled by trivial matters, please go back. Qianzhe can't send you far away and apologize first."

The warriors quickly returned the greeting and said: "Priest Chizuru is in serious condition, I will wait for you and Takeda-kun to come out."

Qianhe bowed slightly to them, then nodded slightly to Xiao Ling and Sakura, and walked to the shrine at the back first, with Xiao Ling and Sakura following closely behind. Xiao Ling held Sakura by his side to keep her from leaving her side in case anything happened. misfortune.

Looking at the backs of the three people walking away, Toyotomi Naotake and the other samurai men guessed in their hearts, what will Priest Chizuru say to this mysterious Takeda-kun? Why can't she say it in front of everyone? Is she already angry?

Arriving at a quiet and simple house, Qianhe made an invitation gesture to Xiao Ling and Sakura, and said politely: "Takeda-kun, Miss Chiba, please sit down."

"Thank you, Priest Qianhe." Xiao Ling and Sakura sat down next to each other. Qianhe followed suit and looked at Xiao Ling with a half-smile: "Takeda-kun, where did you know about the Kusanagi Sword?"

Xiao Ling also gave her an unpredictable and profound smile: "Priest Qianhe, you don't have to be suspicious. It wasn't Toyotomi-kun who told me that I wanted to see you with a sword on my body, but he didn't agree, let alone the Kusanagi sword. He told me about it.”

Chizuru nodded slightly: "It's true that Toyotomi-kun is a man who keeps his promises and will indeed not break his oath to tell you the location of the Kusanagi Sword. So, can Takeda-kun tell Chizuru where you got this news? ?Could it be..." She looked at Sakura. She knew that Sakura was a member of parliament and she did have the opportunity to know such a confidential matter.

"Priest Chizuru, there's no need to guess. It wasn't Yingzi who told me. She was just accompanying me for a walk. How could she know such a confidential matter? To tell you the truth, I heard this news from a servant in the UK. The commander of the corps said that I came back this time just for the Grass Pheasant Sword."

Qianhe Ying's lips parted slightly, and when she was about to ask, Xiao Ling said, "Priest Qianhe, please forgive me. I am entrusted by someone and cannot reveal his name. Priest Qianhe will not ask me to break my oath."

Qianhe's words were blocked in advance and she fell into silence. However, she was not embarrassed. Instead, she stared at Xiao Ling strangely, as if she wanted to see Xiao Ling clearly. This look made Xiao Ling feel guilty. Horrible, my scalp is numb. Could it be that she saw something?[

After a moment, the corners of Qianhe's lips quirked up in a vague arc, and her expression suddenly became strange. If you were there, you said, "Qianhe is a little confused, why is Takeda-kun's accent so special?"

Xiao Ling and Yinghua both felt a thump in their hearts. The shrine maiden's palace was unfathomable. She must have seen something. Xiao Ling forced herself to calm down and said with a smile: "Priest Qianhe also knows that my boy I went to the UK during that period and stayed there for eight years. It’s natural that my accent has changed.”

"Really?" Chizuru looked into his eyes with a half-smile. She was as careful as silk, and noticed the unnoticeable panic in his eyes, and then said casually, "Takeda-kun seems to be very nervous? "

Xiao Ling was even more surprised. This witch was indeed different from ordinary people. He had to deal with it carefully. He said with a smile: "Priest Qianhe, do you want to change the subject? If you have any difficulties, I will not force you."

Qian Hesu held her cheeks in her hands, with a smile on her lips, and looked at Xiao Ling's eyebrows intently, as if talking to herself: "I asked Takeda-kun how come he has such attainments in ancient martial arts. It turns out he is from China, the home of martial arts. , I wonder where Takeda-kun’s martial arts ranks in China?”

These words made Xiao Ling and Sakura's hearts rise. Xiao Ling was secretly preparing for an attack. If Qianhe made any move, he would immediately take action to stop her and said with a forced smile: "Priest Qianhe is here." What did you say? I couldn’t understand it at all.”

Qianhe's posture did not change, and she said with a relaxed smile: "Takeda-kun, please stop hiding it. Qianhe has no ill intentions, but is just curious. You should be the new helmsman of the Xuanwu family. What is your real name?"

Xiao Ling fell silent for a moment. He didn't know whether he should trust this priestess of Atsuta. To be honest, he really didn't have any good impressions of the Japanese. He was asked to trust without reservation a Japanese girl whom he had just met and who was very wealthy. He didn't have such a big tolerance. Sakura was completely focused on him at the moment, looking at him without saying a word, waiting for his response.

Chizuru didn't see any change in his mood, and still smiled calmly and innocently: "Actually, I have long suspected that the real Takeda-kun would not be able to reach out like this, nor would he have such magical defensive skills. It should be even worse over there. Some people may know it, but it can only be Chinese martial arts."

What a vicious look! Xiao Ling sighed in his heart, but still did not dare to let down his guard and said: "Yes, I am the young master of the Xuanwu family, my surname is Xiao Minling."

"Xiao Ling..." Qianhe repeated in a low voice, nodding slightly, and actually spoke in Chinese, "Well, I remember, I think Takeda... what Mr. Xiao really wants to see is not the Kusanagi Sword."

"I didn't expect Priest Qianhe to actually speak Chinese, and speak it so well." Xiao Ling looked at the witch suspiciously. She seemed to know a lot of things, and it was becoming more and more difficult for people to understand. Now that she knew everything Xiao Ling made no secret of his purpose, and said bluntly, "Yes, I came to Japan not for the Kusanagi Sword, nor for the Yata Mirror and Qiong Quyu, but for their owner. Precisely. Said it was for the people who brought them to Japan."
