Chapter 989
Before dawn, the fire on the island in the middle of the lake continued, and half of the sky was dyed red.
A young female monk climbed up from the lake in embarrassment, just took a breath, and was about to take off her drenched monk's robe. Unexpectedly, a dozen men in black suddenly appeared from the jungle, holding sharp swords, Surrounding the female monk, he stared at her coldly.
These men in black are all dressed up for night travel, with black cloth covering their heads, only their eyes and mouth are exposed, and the sharp swords in their hands are also the samurai swords with curved blades.
"You, who are you?" The female monk shrank back as she sat on the ground with frightened eyes.
"Little Master, don't be afraid, let me introduce you."
"My name is Inuno Sora, and I am the teacher responsible for training ninjas of the Xuantu Sect of Beihai Kingdom. They are all ninjas I trained, and this one, Masahide Kingo, is also my student."
An old man in a large kimono came from behind. This old man with white beard and white hair was calm and calm, quite luxurious and calm like a superior.
Kingo Masahide appeared with him, dressed in ordinary samurai clothing, calm and silent, following Inuno Sora's flank.
"You ninjas of the Xuantu Sect, what are you doing here?" The female monk had obviously heard of the Xuantu Sect of the Beihai Kingdom, and she looked at them with suspicion.
Inuno Sora smiled and helped the female monk up from the ground, "Please tell me first, who are you? Are you a monk from Hongxing Temple?"
"Also, we came all the way just now and saw a big fire on the island in the middle of the lake. Did something happen to Hongxing Temple?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the black-clothed ninjas holding knives. The group of ninjas understood, and all drew their swords and retreated, no longer surrounding the female monk.
Seeing that the old man was approachable and seemed easy to talk, the female monk calmed down a little and saluted him with palms together.
"Emi Tuofu, the little monk's Dharma name is Mengwen, and he is the personal recorder beside the presiding mage Xuanji of Hongxing Temple."
"The fire that the old man saw just now is the tragic scene left by a big devil who entered my temple at night, burned the hall of my temple, and killed the monks of my temple..."
When the female monk said this, there was already a slight sadness in her voice, and there were tears in her eyes.
Inuno Sora shook his head and sighed, "Poor, pitiful, what a wonderful thousand-year-old temple, but it was burned down by that villain Li Jiangnan. It's really a pity."
The female monk looked at him suspiciously: "Mr., do you know Li Jiangnan?"
Inuno Sora smiled slightly, "Don't be surprised, inquiring about information is just the basic skill of Xuantu sect ninjas. I not only know about Li Jiangnan, but I also know about your festival with Li Jiangnan. I also know that the Hongxing Temple is actually an ancient The White Lotus Gate of the Middle Earth Sect, an important hall under the gate."
The female monk became more vigilant. From ancient times to the present, Bailian Temple has always acted in secret, but this old gentleman can tell about Bailianmen, and he also knows that Hongxing Temple is the entrance of Bailian Temple. He knows so much. Clearly, is it an enemy or a friend?
"Little master, don't worry too much. When it comes to Li Jiangnan, in fact, our Xuantu sect, like you, also regards him as an enemy."
Inuno Sora obviously knew that the female monk was vigilant, so he took her hand deliberately, found a clean boulder, and sat down together.
"There is an old saying that the enemy of an enemy is an ally. In my opinion, you and your congregants of the White Lotus Temple can be regarded as allies with our Xuantu Sect. Therefore, I hope that my little master will treat each other honestly."
"What enmity do you have with that big devil?" the female monk asked without any doubts.
"If there is hatred, there must be."
"Li Jiangnan killed many female ninjas under my sect, and abducted a noble disciple carefully trained by my sect. By the way, that noble disciple's name is Yumiko Sagawa, who is the queen regent of Beihai Kingdom today, little master. have you heard of it?"
Inuno Sora's face was kind and amiable, and he didn't show much hatred when he talked about Li Jiangnan, as if he was talking to this young female monk.
"My little monk knows that I often serve tea beside Master Xuanji. I once heard Master Xuanji tell the elders of my school that the big devil Li Jiangnan wants to marry the Queen of Beihai Kingdom."
The female monk's vigilance faded a lot, so she told the truth.
Inuno Sora nodded: "Well, it seems that the scandal that happened to the nobles of the Beihai Kingdom has been known all over the world, and you are Li Jiangnan's enemy. It is very difficult to know."
Inuno Sora paused for a moment, and then said, "Then can you tell me which direction Li Jiangnan went after burning down your temple?"
"Young monk doesn't know." The female monk shook her head.
Inuno Sora asked patiently: "Then do you know why that big devil Li Jiangnan chose your Hongxing Temple to attack?"
He added: "As far as I know, your White Lotus Sect does have an enmity with Li Jiangnan, but the Hongxing Temple is not the only one under the White Lotus Sect. Apricot Temple to start?"
"This..." The female monk looked distressed and could not answer.
Inuno Sora smiled: "Let me remind you that Li Jiangnan came all the way from the Hengda Mountains this time, and it seems that he is not just looking for revenge. According to the investigation of my ninja, as early as two days ago, You Hongxing Temple also gathered the chief elders of several courtyards under the Bailianmen, as well as hundreds of guard monks and soldiers who rushed over from other halls. The important elders, as well as the monks and soldiers who gathered here, left Hongxing Temple and headed west."
"Can you tell me what they were discussing at the Hongxing Temple gathering? And why did they leave in a hurry after a day?"
Inuno Sora seemed to know a lot of things, far more than the female monk imagined, and the female monk couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Inuno Sora was not in a hurry, and waited patiently for her to speak with a smile on his face.
The female monk hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I have an important female disciple named Meng Lian. Some time ago, behind the teacher's back, she colluded with Li Jiangnan and stole my temple from the ruins of the Bailianmen temple. The lost holy treasure."
"Later, Meng Lian was arrested and locked up in the Hongxing Temple. Until two days ago, the elders from all over the Bailian Temple came to interrogate. Meng Lian couldn't deny it, so she was forced to agree. She was willing to hand over the hidden holy treasure to compensate her. offense."
"And after the public trial, the next day, the elders of the various halls and the monks and soldiers of the Discipline Academy escorted Menglian to Mount Mangdang, intending to go to the field to welcome back the holy treasure hidden by Menglian."
Inuno Sora nodded after hearing this, and said: "That is to say, the main purpose of Li Jiangnan coming to the Hongxing Temple to kill and set fire to Hongxing Temple is probably for Menglian, or it may be because he wants to get Menglian's favor. Lotus's hidden holy treasure."
"The little monk can't be sure, but the old man's guess is very reasonable." The female monk replied.
Inuno Sora thought for a while, and then asked with interest: "Then can you tell me, the holy treasure in your Bairen Temple seems to be very important to you, what kind of treasure is it?"
