Chapter 557 Undercurrent

Returning to the temple in Longdi Cave, the Immortal White Snake sat on the throne, with a pipe in his mouth, and began to puff out the clouds comfortably.

Different from the posture in the battle just now, although the current White Snake Immortal still exudes amazing Immortal Chakra from time to time, his aura seems harmless to humans and animals, and the aura of Immortal Chakra is no longer violent, but full of peace.

Baishi and Liuli stood in front of the White Snake Immortal, but compared to the White Snake Immortal's comfort, although the two of them were not seriously injured, they looked a bit embarrassed.

After looking at each other for a while, Baishi took the lead to say: "Sister White Snake, can you tell me about Mt. Miaomu in detail?"

The Immortal White Snake seemed to know that Baishi would ask such a question. After Baishi finished speaking, he puffed out a puff of smoke and said leisurely, "Human, how much do you know about Miaomu Mountain?"

Baishi thought for a while, and replied to the White Snake Immortal: "He possesses immortal art, and there are many powerful beings in it. Their common leader is the Great Toad Immortal, who has the magical ability of prophecy. It is said that the Six Paths Immortal a thousand years ago also paid attention to this, and has a close relationship with the Great Toad Immortal."

"You know a lot."

Immortal White Snake nodded slightly.

For ordinary people, knowing that Mount Miaomu can use fairy arts, and the leader is a big toad sage, and possesses the power of prophecy, is enough to be called in-depth understanding.

But about the relationship between the other party and the Sage of the Six Paths, no one knows about it. This is very top-secret information.

After all, the era of thousands of years ago is too long for today's people, and many histories have perished in wars.

"Since you know that the stinky toad and the Sage of the Six Paths were a very good old acquaintance, then you should also be clear that that stinky toad never does meaningless things, and doesn't bother to do such things. Its prophecy ability is also genuine, and it is not something that is used to deceive people."

Immortal White Snake said this, and took a deep look at Baishi.

"Of course, I never thought that that kind of prophecy was just a fictitious thing. It's just that it's just what the Great Toad Immortal believed. The White Snake Immortal can think that I don't believe in fate, and I don't like my own life. I am defined by other people's 'prophecies'... If everyone has to act according to the so-called 'script' of the Great Toad Immortal, including you, the White Snake Immortal, would you be willing?"

Baishi cleverly changed the topic, and looked at Immortal White Snake with a faint smile.

He didn't pay much attention to Miaomushan's prophecy at the beginning. At the beginning, I just thought it was more interesting to predict such things. To put it bluntly, Miaomushan's prophecy is just an application of immortal art.

Even if he was regarded as the so-called 'son of destruction', Shiraishi laughed it off. As long as his bottom line is not specifically touched, there will definitely be a mentality to be on guard against Mount Miaomu, but it will not be completely opposed... After all, it is a holy place that has been passed down for thousands of years, and Shiraishi does not want to provoke too many enemies for no reason.

The situation in the human world is already complicated enough, there is no need to involve psychic beasts. However, Miaomushan's subsequent behavior broke this bottom line and went to the opposite side of the ghost country. This is the main reason Shiraishi had to attack him.

The Immortal White Snake continued to puff out the clouds with the pipe in his mouth, and he didn't mind Baishi's disrespectful words.

For the weak, it doesn't bother to cast a glance, but the two humans in front of it are rare talents, and it doesn't mind communicating with them on an equal footing.

"Foretelling this kind of thing, those who need it to exist will regard it as a treasure, like a person who fell into the water, grabbing the last straw; those who don't need it will discard it as a shoestring, thinking it is worthless... Mt. Miaomu's "Tao" is to make a choice in the future, and to be optimistic about a certain destiny that will exist in the future, and then use its own power to interfere in the material world, and finally find a certain core person to facilitate the birth of that result."

"Is this core figure the Son of Prophecy?"

Baishi was thoughtful.

Liuli on the side also snorted softly, as if feeling very dissatisfied with Miaomushan's behavior.

The Immortal White Snake nodded his huge head, and continued: "That's right, the Son of Prophecy represents a certain 'established future' in the prophecy of Mt. Miaomu. And such a guy, sooner or later, will have very powerful power to promote the outcome of the prophecy. Just like the stinky toad assisted the Six Paths Sage thousands of years ago to defeat Otsutsuki Kaguya."

"But, Immortal White Snake, what does this have to do with my attack on Mount Miaomu?"

Baishi frowned puzzled.

He is not very interested in the matter of the Son of Prophecy, or in other words, his goal is only to let Miao Mushan withdraw from the stage after that, not to deal with the so-called Son of Prophecy.

In Baishi's view, the Son of Prophecy might just be an object used by the Great Toad Immortal. It is essentially just a 'tool' to realize the 'future', and he has no need to deal with such a 'tool'.

The Immortal White Snake baffled his mouth, exhaled smoke rings, and stared at Baishi with his pair of golden vertical pupils: "Your purpose is to unite with the old body, to force Miaomushan to be unable to interfere with you in your subsequent actions, to annihilate Miaomushan's vital forces as much as possible, and to complete your own strategic goals... This strategy is very good. Every step is very calm, and I have never overestimated myself, and I have never underestimated others. But I still want to tell you that it is meaningless for you to do so."

"Meaningless?"

Baishi frowned even tighter.

"After observing the "future" from Mt. Miaomu and producing accurate results, it means that your biggest enemy in the future is not Mt. Miaomu, but the "savior" identified by Mt. Miaomu."

"The so-called 'savior' in the prophecy is just a tool used by the toads. I have no interest in these things. I just need to achieve my goal. The problem must start from the root, not those superficial things."

Baishi looked at Immortal White Snake and expressed his thoughts.

"Is the root of the problem?" Immortal White Snake seemed to feel the firm belief in Baishi's heart, and he didn't know whether it was approval or veto. He just continued, "Well, this is all I say. Since you still want to be stubborn, I will not interfere with your decision. Then, I will give you two choices now. The first choice, as I said before, is meaningless to attack Mount Miaomu, and you need to give up this idea."

"What about the second choice?"

Shiraishi skipped this option without even thinking about it.

"I can agree to attack Mount Miaomu with you, but I can't guarantee that I will succeed."

Fairy White Snake's voice calmed down.

"What's the meaning?"

Baishi had a surprised expression on his face.

Immortal White Snake didn't say anything clearly, but let go of the pipe in his mouth, spit out a scroll from his mouth, and rolled it in front of Baishi.

"This kind of thing will not be clear for a while, and the specific information is written here. After you take it back, study it carefully. If you still choose the second option at that time, join hands with the old man to attack Mount Miaomu. The old body will follow the results of the previous trial and stay with you to the end. When the time comes to attack Mt. Miaomu, just send someone over to let you know."

After Immortal White Snake finished speaking, he stopped talking, slowly closed his vertical pupils, and fell into a deep sleep.

Baishi picked up the scroll on the ground, didn't take it apart to check it immediately, but bent over to the White Snake Immortal.

"Then, Immortal White Snake, I will take my leave. When the time comes, I will send someone over to make an announcement."

After all, Baishi didn't disturb Immortal White Snake's rest, he exchanged a glance with Liuli, walked along the red steps, and began to return to the way he came.

Wait until Baishi and Liuli left and the aura disappeared from the temple, the White Snake Immortal opened his eyes again.

"Pity"

These two human beings are rare and strong among human beings, and their strength has far reached their peak, and there is still room for further advancement.

However, to the regret of the White Snake Immortal, they don't seem to be very interested in the Longdi Cave contract. And in the case of learning the fairy art, it is not very meaningful to learn the fairy art of Longdi Cave.

As a fairy, it must maintain its majesty, and it is impossible to personally invite humans to sign a contract with Longdi Cave.

Mt. Miaomu, Wetbone Forest, and Longdi Cave led by it all have their own set of codes of conduct. It is impossible for it to actively sign a contract with humans.

Thus, although it was a pity, Immortal White Snake quickly cheered up and returned to his normal look.

The rest of my life is still very long, maybe in the near future, there will be other outstanding human beings who will come to Longdi Cave again to seek the power of fairy art.

I just hope that the seekers of the Tao at that time will not be misled by the "power" itself and become a slave of the "power". That way, they will not be able to inherit the fairy art of Longdi Cave, and will only become food in its stomach.

"Human beings... are really interesting existences. Toad, it seems that you have also met your opponent this time. Well, rather than dying at the hands of humans, I'd rather let the old body see you off for the last time."

The golden pupils of Immortal White Snake were filled with cold murderous intent, almost freezing the entire space.

Although Baishi has not yet given an answer, Immortal White Snake knows that this human will not give up lightly.

A battle with Mount Miaomu will definitely happen!

"Giving you ultimate glory..."

The place where wolves cry.

The original magnificent building has been reduced to ruins.

The cold air that froze in the air was bitingly cold, making this place look like a prison.

The people who were prostrate on the ground all knelt on their knees, trembling and not daring to take a deep breath.

In front of them, stood a girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, followed by a wandering priestess from the kingdom of ghosts, and several ninjas from the kingdom of ghosts wearing chakra armor.

"Really, the same thing, don't make me repeat it too many times. Hand over all the main criminals and accomplices who attacked the drug caravan in the ghost country that day, and pay three times the cost of the medicinal materials lost that day. This matter is over, Your Excellency the village chief."

The girl, that is, according to Shiraishi's order, rushed to Langwaizhili to deal with the attack on the drug caravan in the country of ghosts, she said to the man kneeling in front of her.

The village head man is about forty years old, and his body is a bit fat, but it is not puffiness, but his muscles are swollen, which makes his figure look very large. It is conceivable that this man usually pays attention to his own exercise.

However, even this powerful body is as fragile as a paper tiger in front of Kazuki.

The man didn't expect that this little girl who seemed to weigh less than one-third of his weight could easily surpass him in strength.

However, although he was not the girl's opponent, the village head man did not show any fear in his eyes. Instead, he raised his head stubbornly, and under tremendous pressure, he slowly stood up, showing that he would not give in to violence, and replied with a righteous attitude:

"Miss, I don't know what you're talking about. But your behavior has severely damaged the stability of the Wolf Cry. If you don't stop, I will jointly sue you for your crimes and bring you to justice!"

Facing the righteous and stern words of the village head man, Kazuhime's face remained unchanged. Knowing that this man would not admit to attacking the Oni Land caravan, she turned to the wandering priestess beside her and asked, Have you investigated the identities of the main criminal and the accomplices?

After all, the attack this time was very bad. The caravan who came to buy medicine in the Weeping Wolf, injured more than a dozen people, and one died. It is reasonable and reasonable that the attackers here need to give an explanation.

Yunyou Miko nodded, indicating that the investigation was clear. She silently pointed to the village head man in front of her with her finger, and then pointed to some of the people around, indicating that these people were the main criminals and accomplices who attacked the caravan in the ghost country that day.

After being identified by Yunyou Miko, the village chief's expression changed, and then he thought of something and began to calm down.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I will truthfully report this matter to the great names of the Fire and Water Kingdoms."

"In this case, I would like to ask you to stay in the prison of the ghost country for a while. As for the external negotiations with the two daimyos, I will not bother you, the village chief. Take these people away."

Yiji gave the order indifferently.

"yes!"

The ninja of the ghost country wearing chakra armor walked forward and detained the people identified just now, ignoring the struggle and resistance of these people, and brought them back to the ghost kingdom for trial.

Seeing that the matter was over, Yiji had no intention of staying here any longer, so she prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when he turned around, the village head man's eyes suddenly showed a bright light. Taking advantage of the ninja from the ghost country not paying attention, he quickly took out a blowtorch from his arms and put it to his mouth.

"Miss! Be careful!"

It was too late for the ninja from the kingdom of ghosts to go up and stop it.

I saw a marble flying out of the blower and hit Kazuki directly on the back.

Yi Ji also seemed to be aware of it, turned around quickly, and pulled out the Kusanagi sword at his waist to block the marble that was shot at him.

"Haha, idiot!"

When the village head man saw Kazuhime's defensive action, he laughed mockingly.

The marble hit the blade of the Kusanagi sword, and it exploded instantly, bursting out with thick flames, engulfing Ichihime's body into the flames generated by the explosion, and the flames burned blazingly.

"I call you arrogant, now I finally tasted my strength. As long as there is such a weapon, it is considered a kingdom of ghosts..."

The village chief held the blower tightly in his hand, with an extremely excited smile on his face.

"Even if it is a country of ghosts... how about it?"

A dull voice came out of the fire, and clearly fell into the ears of the village head man.

After hearing this familiar voice, the smiling face of the village head man froze immediately.

He couldn't believe it when he saw Yiji who came out of the flames unharmed, and began to stammer: "How, how, how could you block it!?"

Questioning like crazy, all the ninjas he attacked in the past were bruised and bruised by the explosion of this weapon. Even if they didn't die on the spot, they were seriously injured to the point of dying.

Faced with such an explosion, how could it be possible to remain unscathed?

Fake! All are fake!

The man from the village head raised the blower again and put it against his mouth, ready to attack Kazuhime again.

However, when he put the blowing tube to his mouth, Kazuki had already held a short flintlock gun in his hand at some point, aimed at the muzzle, and then ruthlessly pulled the trigger.

Boom!

There was almost no interval, and the explosion occurred on the chest of the village head man.

Suffering from the impact of the explosion, the village head man who flew out spit blood from his mouth and rolled on the ground for a distance of several meters before barely stopping.

The blower that fired the explosive marbles also fell out of his hand and rolled to the side of the road.

"It seems that my bullets fire faster."

Ichihime put the smoking flintlock back into the gun clip on her waist, ignored the village head man who was lying there unconscious, walked to the side of the blower, and picked it up.

"Is this the firearm you use to deal with ninjas in Wolf Cry? It's a bit more boring than expected. Although it's powerful...but it always feels like a product of the previous era, and it's too inconvenient to use."

Yiji played with it a few times, and then threw it aside in boredom.

"Take them all away."

Seeing the trembling of the other prisoners, Kazuki knew that the overall situation here was settled.

"yes!"

After Yiji's deterrence, these prisoners who were engaged in attacking the caravan of the ghost country did calm down honestly, knowing that resistance was meaningless. Therefore, the subsequent **** work of the ghost country ninja has become very smooth.

Under the onlookers of the villagers of Wailing Village, Kazuhime and a group of ninjas from the Oni Land escorted away a dozen people from Wailing Village, and put them on chakrrestricting torture devices to prevent accidents on the way.

Faced with this situation, although the people in Crying Wolf have the intention to step forward to rescue them, they don't have the courage to fight against the ninjas of the ghost country who can deal with the armed forces of Crying Wolf at will.

Moreover, this kind of thing was originally their fault. Who let their village chief dare to provoke even the people of the ghost country by taking advantage of the foxes and tigers of other big countries? He even thought that what he was doing was secret enough that the Kingdom of Ghosts couldn't find out at all. Therefore, it is only natural for others to come to the door to settle the liquidation.

In the final analysis, it's just jealousy of the arms business in the Kingdom of Ghosts, which sells very well, and the firearms in the Wolf Crying Village are directly neglected due to jealousy. Crying Wolf, who obtained huge wealth by selling medicinal materials, also wants to obtain more wealth and enrich his life by selling arms. Then, the kingdom of ghosts is their biggest obstacle in the arms market... Everything that is happening now, the root of the disaster has already been planted.

"In this way, it won't be long before this village will also fall under the surveillance of the ghost kingdom."

Kisame, who watched all this in the crowd, laughed, looking at this kind of thing from the perspective of a passerby.

"The follow-up process is very troublesome. After all, the place where the wolf cries has a deep cooperative relationship with the other big countries. It will not let the ghost country do whatever it wants. Maybe it will cause another storm. I just don't know who will benefit in the end."

Standing next to Kisame, Itachi lowered his head as much as possible, and covered his face with a bamboo hat, only the voice came out.

"The diplomatic confrontation between major powers has nothing to do with us, and it is not something we can get involved in." After finishing speaking, Kisame turned to look at Itachi: "How is it, Itachi, have you got the medicine you want?"

Itachi nodded.

"I've already got it, and it's time to return to Yuyin Village and take a good rest for a while. Let's talk about the next action in a year."

After speaking, Itachi turned and walked, and quickly disappeared from the crowd.

Kisame shrugged helplessly, and followed Itachi's footsteps.

The Kingdom of Fire.

Daming Mansion, in the castle tower.

Two figures sat facing each other on the floor, with a tea table in the middle. After making tea, the maid in kimono bowed and left, leaving only the two of them.

"Your Excellency Huo Daming, the Ninja Village in your country has been full of disasters recently. Is there really no problem if this continues?"

After the maid left, the slightly fat man took a sip from his teacup, his narrowed eyes revealed a sharp gleam.

The thin man on the opposite side, the Daimyo of the Fire Country, was wrinkling his face in distress at this time, and said, "I didn't expect such an accident on Danzo's side. It seems that he is really not suitable for Hokage. However, fortunately, Tsunade's return to Konoha now stabilizes people's hearts for the time being, and did not let things go to the worst."

"So, do you need me to hunt down Orochimaru together?"

"For the time being, I don't need you, Your Excellency Feng Daiming, to worry about it. A single Orochimaru can't cause any trouble. Right now, our biggest enemy is still the kingdom of ghosts."

The fire country daimyo said lightly.

The daimyo of the land of the wind, who is slightly fatter, showed a thoughtful expression.

"Speaking of which, the things in Wolf Crying shouldn't have been leaked, right?"

"Don't worry, although that greedy guy caused a bit of an accident in the plan, but the 'evidence' was eliminated in advance by someone I sent, and the ghost country will never notice it."

The fire country daimyo responded with a generous tone.

"In this way, the medicines needed for the war are basically prepared. Moreover, the Daimyo and Mizukage of the Water Country, because of the domestic riots, hated the Ghost Country, and began to agree with our plan. The Earth Country also plans to come in to get a share, but the Thunder Country..."

The daimyo of the country of wind frowned visibly.

Obviously, he was rejected by the country of thunder.

"As long as our four countries unite, the Kingdom of Thunder will definitely come up to take advantage of the fire. This is beyond doubt. They used to be like this."

"So, is this the right time?"

The daimyo of the country of wind asked a question.

The fire country daimyo nodded, and said: "Only Hokage has no notice, because Tsunade just took office as the fifth Hokage, and the third Hokage Hirzen was unfortunately killed, so she still doesn't know our plan here. Find a time in the next year and let her know the plan here. Her medical ninjutsu and her psychic beast can play a key role in the war."

"Then please. But I still didn't expect that Yijie Ninja could grow to this extent. The Kingdom of Wind was also tricked by him, so he lost so much land. It's really hateful!"

The daimyo of the Land of Wind couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

The daimyo of the land of fire looked calmly at the daimyo of the land of wind gnashing his teeth, and didn't take a sip of tea until the other party's expression eased, and said in an indifferent tone:

"That's right, Chiba Shiraishi's harmfulness does not lie in one country or one village. He is shaking the great foundation established by our ancestors for thousands of years. He is making an enemy of the whole world. Now we must curb the growth of him and the country of ghosts. All people and things related to him must be wiped out, and no one will be wiped out!"

(PS: Go get the computer today, and the update will return to the normal night time tomorrow... In addition, it is almost the last volume, and there is not much content left. Finally, if you don't write a blog post, don't ask any more.)
