Chapter 70: Ninja Past
The dinner began. Huang Dajie, Qi Ying, Wang Yuejiao, Tang Xuan and Cui Qiao sat at the same table. They chatted for a while, and the topic came up about Bai Xiang's escape using ninjutsu.
When Huang Dajie heard that Bai Xiang had escaped, he sighed: "It's a pity that Bai Xiang knew ninjutsu and escaped. Even if he ran away, this time he could clear out the Japanese camp and severely damage Xin Wulang's vitality. It would have been a great victory."
"
Tang Xuan was surprised when she heard that the Japanese general Bai Xiang had escaped, and asked: "Is there anyone in our army who can break ninjutsu?"
Qi Ying shook his head and said: "I heard that Ninjutsu was invented by the Japanese Manouye Gaban. Except for him, no other Japanese can crack it, let alone us Ming people."
Tang Xuan said: "Well cover? Weird name."
Cuiqiao was overjoyed when she heard that Bai Xiang had successfully escaped. She changed the subject and said, "Don't just talk, let's eat food and drink." She poured wine for several people with a smile on her face.
When Wang Yuejiao saw Cui Qiao's happy expression, she lost control of her emotions and threw the glass of wine at Cui Qiao's face. Cui Qiao was so frightened by the splash that she hid behind Huang Dajie and wiped her face aggrievedly.
Huang Dajie stood up in shock and said angrily: "Miss Wang, what are you doing?"
Wang Yuejiao frowned, her almond-shaped eyes widened and she said, "I just can't stand the vixen acting. What's wrong?"
Qi Ying and Tang Xuan took Wang Yuejiao away. The banquet broke up unhappy.
Wang Yuejiao fell asleep in the house. Qi Ying hugged the quilt and slept on her roof. Since learning that the men in black were going to kidnap Wang Yuejiao, Qi Ying did not sleep in the barracks at night and slept quietly on her roof.
Huang Dajie escorted Cui Qiao back to the house. After washing her face, Cui Qiao was thinking, could they have discovered my identity as a spy? Otherwise, where did Wang Yue's anger come from? Why was she scolding a vixen for acting?
Tang Xuan led the wolf soldiers to camp in private houses. Most of the citizens in the city had moved to Tiantai Mountain, and many private houses were empty.
Let's say that Jiujiutazi took a black-poned boat and searched for it in the wind and waves for fifteen days and finally found Dachui Island.
Ouchi Island is located on the west side of Hokkaido. Although the name of the island contains the word "big", the area is so small that there are no flowers and plants, and it is all bare rocks.
There is a small peak in the center of the island, about three feet high. There is a hole at the bottom of the mountain, and the hole can be seen from where you land.
Jiujiutazi thought to herself: "The entrance to the cave must be the nest of the well cover."
She was followed by two attendants, and the three of them landed on the shore. Crabs were rampant on the shore, opening their pincers to grab strangers.
A follower used a Japanese sword to kill crabs to clear the way, and asked in confusion: "What is there to live on on this deserted island? There is not much grass."

Why would anyone choose to live here when there are crabs everywhere?"
Jiujiutazi said: "The manhole cover is a weird person, how can we understand that he chooses to live here?"
The three of them came to the entrance of the cave and saw that the cave was dark and damp, with the sound of dripping water coming from inside. Jiujiutazi couldn't believe that such a damp cave could still be inhabited.
The three of them walked inside. As they walked, she called out: "Mr. Manhole Cover, are you there?"
After a while, there was a chirping sound in the cave, and thousands of bats flew out of the cave in dense numbers and pounced on the three of them.
Jiujiutazi tried to save herself by whipping her whip, but where could she survive? So many bats rushed out like a flood. No matter how fast the whip was, it could not withstand the flood of bats.
She was surrounded by a swarm of bats and turned into a black ball. She could not move and shouted for help. The two followers were crushed into fleshy balls by the swarm of bats and died of vomiting blood with their internal organs broken.
Hahaha, weird laughter came from the cave with the help of a loudspeaker. After the laughter stopped, he asked: "Who is looking for death to disturb my peace."
Jiujiutazi guessed that the speaker might be the manhole cover, and shouted loudly: "Old man manhole cover, please spare your life!"
"Haha!" The voice got closer and closer, and finally stopped next to Jiujiutazi. Inoue Gaban asked: "Who are you? You are so powerful that you can withstand the squeeze of a group of bats."
This is the reason why Xinwulang sent Kujiudako here. An unknown soldier with insufficient martial arts skills will not be able to see the manhole cover.
Kujiutazi was overwhelmed by the bats and begged for mercy: "Old man, my name is Kujiutazi, and Shingoro sent me to give you a good gift!"
"Oh? Shingoro's gift?" When the manhole cover heard that it was Shingoro's person, he hurriedly blew out a "chi" sound, and the bats immediately flew away.
Jiujiutazi fell to her knees and gasped for air. If she hadn't been so powerful, she would have been crushed to death by the swarm of bats.
Jiujiutazi saw standing in front of him a man with white spots on his face, half of his head bald, bulging eyes, sparse and dirty gray long hair remaining beside his ears, and a mouth full of incomplete and blackened old teeth that could be smelled from a distance.
There was a foul smell coming to the old man.
He was hunched over, leaning on a cane, and the clothes he wore were dark, dirty, and sticky. It was unclear whether they were cloth or fish skin.
Kujiudako felt sick to her stomach after seeing his appearance. She couldn't believe that the inventor of ninjutsu was such a bad old man.
She suppressed the disgust in her heart, forced a smile and said: "Old man, are you the manhole cover?"
The manhole cover said: "Yes, I am the manhole cover. Where is the gift?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Jiujiutazi smiled and said: "Our master misses you, so we specially send you a tonic to honor you." After saying this, she took out an iron box from the dead follower's pocket and gave it to the manhole cover.
When the manhole cover opened the iron box, what he saw was a dung beetle.
The manhole cover was so excited that he immediately reached out and snatched the dung beetle into his hands. He cried out with joy: "Baby, baby, I have never seen such a beautiful baby in my life."
Seeing that she liked the well cover so much, she took the opportunity to request: "Old man, if you like it, the master said that he will bring more rare and exotic treasures to you in the future, but at present he is in trouble and needs your help."
The manhole cover was immersed in joy and asked: "If you need my help, please tell me."
Kujiutako said: "My lord's beloved general was assassinated by the enemy. I need you to go to the Haimen Guards to teach his generals ninjutsu."
Inoue Gaiban didn't want to leave the island, but he was reluctant to take the gift from others, and explained nicely: "I haven't participated in the war for many years. I remember when Tokugawa Ieyasu bought my invisibility technique and used it to defeat the Xin family and bring down the Xin family."
The family was transformed from a large vassal into a small vassal.
Later, I felt a little sorry for the Xin family and agreed to their request to challenge Mount Wutai. The purpose was to undermine the self-confidence of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts and build momentum for Xin Wulang to attack the Ming Dynasty.
Tokugawa Ieyasu strictly prohibited me from selling ninjutsu to others, especially to the Shin family. Shingoro bought ninjutsu from me, but I did not agree to sell it to him at first.
Later, Xin Wulang was defeated by Qi Jinggong. Seeing his pitiful appearance, I had no choice but to sell him the invisibility technique. Xin Wulang bought my invisibility technique to defeat Qi Jinggong's army and won the battle of Shangfengling.
When Tokugawa Ieyasu heard that I sold invisibility skills to the Shin family, he ordered people to hunt me down, saying that I violated the ban and threatened his interests.
So I had no place to stand in Japan and went to this deserted island to live out the rest of my life.
Because I caused the war, monk Hengzhi came to Japan to kill me, and Tokugawa Ieyasu also hunted me. I lived a life that was neither human nor ghost.
It was all caused by the war. Is there another war now? I am old and don’t want to participate in the war."
Jiujiutazi asked curiously: "It turns out that the master bought the invisibility technique from you, why is he still buying it from you now?"
Inoue Gaiban explained: "When I sell ninjutsu, I teach it secretly in a secret room alone. One person can only learn one ninjutsu. Shingoro bought the invisibility technique for his old favorite, but he didn't know how to use it himself. Later, his old favorite
The generals disappeared suddenly and inexplicably, so his new love doesn't know the invisibility skill and wants to buy it from me."
Jiujiutazi was surprised and said: "That's it."
