Chapter 235: Negotiations with the Demon King (1)
No wonder...no wonder she spoke so badly, and no one could speak well after her throat was cut like this.
"Lead the way." Qin Ye nodded. Saito Guidie took a few steps back and turned toward the temple. Two rows of ladies beside her turned around at the same time.
At this moment, Qin Ye clearly saw that there was a dagger behind them... they were all stuck!
This is... the maid buried with Nobunaga when he was dying...
Qin Ye's eyes passed her door and looked at the rows of soldiers and warriors in the distance. As the sea of trees waved, the shadows swayed, shining under the blood-red lantern light, they were shrouded in the dark sky... It seemed as if he could feel his gaze. All the warriors were light, their bodies were still moving, and their heads turned 180 degrees. In the hollow eye sockets, two green ghost fires burned up.
The wind blew, blowing the trees swaying, pulling out mottled ghosts. Late at night, the lonely temple was filled with evil spirits. In an instant, Qin Ye stood in the center of the ghost fire vortex, and was surrounded by miserable green blue. If it were a group of wolves, if it were an ordinary person, he would have screamed in horror at this moment.
Qin Ye squinted his eyes and looked at this quaint temple. In the splendor of glory, one by one, four hundred years ago, finally opened his eyes. The yin energy soared into the sky seemed to be roaring with hundreds of years of resentment.
Honno Temple, Lanruo Temple.
"Don't worry." Akishiyin whispered: "Nobunaga had been to the underworld of China. He knew the glory of this mirror that day. With me here, he would not dare to take action."
Qin Ye nodded, took several deep breaths to calm down, stepped on the ground covered with snow-white paper money, and walked towards the Enneng Temple.
The lights are brightly lit.
The structure of the temple is similar to that of a Japanese hotel. The aisle is narrow, and the pure wooden floor is covered with dry blood, showing an abnormal black and red color. On both sides are sliding doors with Ukiyo-e paintings. When Qin Ye passed by, there were waves of heated discussions. You can even see the shadows wearing big armor inside on the translucent sliding door, and you are fiercely arguing about something.
Qin Ye stopped.
Just as he stopped, the shadow on the sliding door seemed to feel him. Then... the several great armored generals inside... their hair was waving wildly, and their shadows became larger and larger, and they were completely different from human form after a few seconds! A monster like a human and wolf, with hair dancing all over their bodies had been projected on the sliding door!
Swipe... It was obviously just a shadow, but on the door, blood-red eyes opened in the shadow, looking straight at Qin Ye. That terrifying sense of oppression was like a shadow.
"Pretending to be a ghost." Qin Ye sneered and suddenly opened the door.
There is nothing inside.
It was a dilapidated room, with tatami covered with dust and cobwebs on the walls. A green oil lamp on the table. On the side of the short collapsed table, there were two dead bones sitting.
Wearing ancient Japanese armor, but there were already white bones below. They held a short knife in both hands and stabbed into their abdomen. Unfortunately, hundreds of years later, there were already white bones there, and the short knife fell into the pelvis.
At this moment, ladies carrying lanterns on both sides all blessed each other, and then... quietly sank into the Ukiyo-e painting of the sliding door.
It was so illusory and illusory, and it was sticked up like a shadow.
Qin Ye pulled up to the door and looked carefully. It was Oda Nobunaga's "Wubu in the World". It was like a wall of the story of China. The ladies just now had already walked into the painting. As Qin Ye left, they kept pulling the door on the door. All the people in the painting turned their heads, and green fire burned in their eyes, looking straight at his back.
It seems to be walking in the corridor full of fireflies.
"Is this Mr. Oda's hospitality method?" At this moment, it had reached the end. There was a screen wall in front of me, with a pot of plum blossoms inserted. The leaves had already withered, but there were pale skulls hanging.
"It's just a joke from some servants." Saito Guidie hurriedly said: "Sir, Oda is waiting for you in the back room, so it's not convenient for me to go in. Please."
Bypassing the screen wall, there is a large room behind it.
It is covered with tatami, and the entire Honen Temple is only here that looks new. But... it is also here that the burnt smell and the smell of corpse are simply stinking!
There were dry flower branches in the painted gold bottles on both sides of the room. Like the ancient Japanese daimyo, the bamboo curtain was half hanging down. A man in black feather was sitting behind the bamboo curtain, waiting quietly for Qin Ye.
Qin Ye sat on the cushion opposite him and nodded: "Mr. Oda, we finally meet."
"You are really brave enough to come to my territory to find me." A hoarse voice came from behind the bamboo curtain: "We have seen it."
"Yes." Qin Ye said lightly: "I met in the cemetery thousands of miles apart. It seemed that no one left a good impression when we first met."
"Okay." A mud-gold folding fan stretched out from behind the bamboo curtain, and Qin Ye's eyes shrank. He clearly saw that the hand holding the folding fan was covered with corpse spots, and... it was burned beyond recognition!
The folding fan gently pointed the tatami: "I'm not a person who likes to procrastinate."
"For the sake of Lord Ming, you can come in. I promise not to touch you. Our past has been written off. I am not so arrogant that I can provoke the underworld of China... So, what's wrong with you? I don't like the taste of living people in you very much..."
Hey... Behind the bamboo curtain, a sound of swallowing came. The green ghost fire in the whole room shaking gently, but it could only illuminate Qin Ye's own shadow. Oda Nobunaga's hoarse voice sounded: "This smell... will make me very hungry... and envious... I want to swallow you alive..."
Qin Ye lowered his eyes and was about to start... Can he tell the four hundred years of ghost king and trick him into the underworld? Now, it is the most critical battle!
This is a battlefield without gunpowder.
Once again, Qin Ye took a deep breath in his mind, and his nerves were tense to 12% tight. Then he raised his head and looked straight at the bamboo curtain: "Mr. Oda, what do you think of the underworld of China?"
"Strong. outrageously powerful." Oda Nobunaga's voice was filled with some emotion: "I thought I could already unify Japan, so I went to pay tribute to China. At that time... By the way, it was still the Ming Dynasty. At that time, I was shocked by the power of the underworld of China... There were no less than twenty of the Pluto-level masters like Izanami!"
"I have never been willing to provoke China." His voice actually had a hint of sincerity: "So, if your arrival represents the Emperor Bao who is in charge of the underworld, please help me convey it."
Plans can never keep up with changes.
Before coming, Qin Ye had already thought of his own point of view, and he was confident of taking over the famous Sixth Heaven Demon King. But Nobunaga's words... suddenly increased his confidence from 60% to 90%!
The other party... thought he was the envoy of Emperor Bao!
He didn't know that there was a major change in the underworld in China!
Moreover, the other party's sentence has a very rich meaning. Why was he the first to express his surrender to the underworld in China?
Because... he still has the intention to counterattack Japan!
It is only one step away from unifying Japan, but it disappears in one go. How can this deep resentment disappear in four hundred years?
It is precisely because he wants to unify Japan that he has expressed his opinion to China. He does not want to fight happily by himself, and the Chinese army behind him is coming. He has been involved in local politics for a long time.
The thoughts were turned and he lived for too long. His grasp of people's hearts and his guesses about people's thoughts were no less than that of Oda Nobunaga. In just a few seconds, he grabbed the inspiration in his mind, followed the core idea he had considered, and temporarily reorganized its entry point, and smiled: "So... what do you think about Huangquan Hirasaka?"
Behind the bamboo curtain, Oda Nobunaga finally moved, his eyes burning as if he was about to penetrate through the bamboo curtain. He smiled and said, "The Lord of the Japanese Underworld."
Qin Ye said: "Then do you know the power in the hands of this Pluto?"
Without waiting for Oda Nobunaga to answer, he slowly said: "All the daimyos in the Warring States Period, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshi, your former ally Tokugawa Ieyasugi, and... Asai Nagamasa, Akichi Mitsuhide... By the way, Ashi is here too."
Speaking of this, he looked at his body behind the bamboo curtain quietly.
No response.
But... he noticed keenly that when he mentioned these names, the other party's hand holding the folding fan tightened.
"They are all under Izanamei." Qin Ye lowered his head and licked his lips: "It means that if you still have the idea of the entire Japanese territory, then what you have to face is all the great names in the entire Warring States Period!"
His breathing was a little hot: "Are you... willing to give up?"
"Give up your dream of Buwu in the world?"
"Give up the ambition to unify Japan only one step away?"
"Give up the chance to seek revenge on Akatsuki Mitsuhide and avenge Honnoji with one arrow?"
Dead silence.
Oda Nobunaga could not answer and could not hide it.
These three dreams can be said to be obsessed with him throughout his life. Facing his true heart, he cannot deceive himself.
"What does the noble mean?" After a long time, he finally spoke: "Is it your intention or the Emperor Bao?"
What the implication is, whether... China decided to intervene. Once Emperor Bao came in person, it would take only a few months to suppress Izanamei. He knew the foundation of the strongest underworld.
Do you...bet on yourself?
Do you... give yourself a chance to avenge your bloody feud for the day?
This thought made his heart no longer calm.
Qin Ye breathed a sigh of relief. The start was good, but... it was not enough!
Paranoia is the best bait for him to guide Oda Nobunaga. How could he let go of his long-cherished wish for hundreds of years? Now, it may have become an obsession.
"Mr. Oda, don't hurry." His eyes flashed and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not what I mean. It's you, ask yourself... can you stand with Akichi Mitsuhide again?"
Click... The folding fan sounded softly and broke from it.
Oda Nobunaga did not answer.
But, answered.
Qin Ye chased after him and then asked: "Can you accept that you will become a daimyo again under someone else's command? From the emperor who was only one step away from unifying Japan, he fell into a prince?"
"If you can't do it, then ask yourself again, do you... have the strength to defeat Izanami? Do you have the strength to face all the daimyos back then? Just by the more than two thousand soldiers in your barrier?"
