Everything was as Bamu Changqing had predicted. The storm lasted for an entire day and showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it seemed to be getting more and more intense.
The roaring wind blew on the strange rocks around Demon Island, making a horrifying whimpering sound that sounded like the crying of ghosts.
At this time, it was already night time.
Inside the cave, Ye Fan was lying on the ground that was extremely warm from the fire, resting with his eyes closed.
He had been sitting in the cave for an entire day, eating a lot of food and drinking a lot of wine. Coupled with the warm fire in the cave and the sound of rain outside the cave, he felt his eyelids were a little heavy, so he took a short nap.
Bamu Changqing and Kamehameha were sitting on the ground, eating sashimi and chatting softly in Japanese.
They were born and raised in Dongying and had long been used to kneeling for a long time and the extreme weather outside, so they did not feel tired.
The two of them each used a branch to skewer two fat pheasants and slowly roasted them on the charcoal fire.
"Have you heard?" Kamehameha asked Bamu Changqing, "Matsumoto Takeyoshi has sent someone to bring back the Sword of Kusanagi from Dongying."
"I have heard about this," Bamu Changqing nodded and said, "Before Yagyu Ryūnosuke came to Dongying, the Sword of Kusanagi was secretly brought back."
Kamehameha put the roasted pheasant in his hand under his nose and sniffed it a few times, then said, "I wonder why he brought this national treasure to the Great Ming Dynasty?"
"He has openly betrayed Tokugawa Ieyasu, so of course, he can't leave such an important artifact in Dongying," Bamu Changqing poked at the red charcoal and said calmly.
"In this old man's opinion, this matter is definitely not that simple," Kamehameha said meaningfully as he continued to roast the pheasant on the charcoal fire.
"Oh? Yagi Zhangqing raised his head and looked at Muwen Turtle Crane. What do you think? "
"Tokugawa Ieyasu does have some skills, but with his current strength, he can't shake Matsumoto Takeyoshi's power in Japan," Kamehameha said. "Not to mention that Matsumoto Takeyoshi still has tens of thousands of ninjas hidden among the Japanese, just the hundreds of Black Feather ninjas are enough to make Tokugawa Ieyasu not dare to act rashly. Not to mention that Great God Xie Tian is in Japan. In my opinion, Tokugawa Ieyasu wouldn't dare to do anything to Matsumoto Takeyoshi. "
"You don't dare do anything to Matsumoto Takeyoshi?" Bamu Changqing smiled and asked Kamehameha, "Then why did Yagyuu Ryūnosuke come to East China Sea with the Emperor's Katana to capture him and bring him back?"
"This matter is even more strange," Kamehameha picked up the cowhide wine bag and took a sip. He said, "Ise Grand Shrine and the Shogunate have not interfered with each other for hundreds of years. Why did they suddenly come together this time? Don't you think it's strange? "
"This …" Bamu Changqing frowned.
He didn't think of this.
"Yagyuu Ryūnosuke is a god. Even His Majesty the Emperor didn't see his real body. How could Tokugawa Ieyasu invite him out of the shrine? And send him to capture Matsumoto Takeyoshi? " Kamehameha asked, "If that's the case, then Tokugawa Ieyasu is really influential. He can even invite a god."
"Then in Mr. Kamehameha's opinion, what is the truth of this matter?" Bamu Changqing asked Kamehameha.
Kamehameha looked at Bamu Changqing and said solemnly, "In my opinion, it's not that Tokugawa Ieyasu is influential enough to invite Ryūnosuke. The fact is the opposite. Ryūnosuke used Tokugawa Ieyasu's General's order to capture Matsumoto Takeyoshi."
"Ryūnosuke used Tokugawa Ieyasu's General's order to capture Matsumoto Takeyoshi?" Bamu Changqing frowned and asked, "He's a god. If he wants to capture Matsumoto Takeyoshi, he can just do it. Is there a need to ask for Tokugawa Ieyasu's order?"
"You don't understand." Kamehameha smiled and gently turned the roasted pheasant on the charcoal fire. He said with a smile, "It's because he's a god that he has a good reason to act. There's an old saying in the Central Plains, 'If the name is not right, the words will not go well.' Gods are respected and supreme. Of course, they can't act for no reason. Otherwise, they would be meddling in other people's business. "
"Mr. Kamehameha, do you mean that Ryūnosuke used Tokugawa Ieyasu's order to act for a good reason?" Bamu Changqing asked Kamehameha.
"That's right," Kamehameha answered.
"Matsumoto Takeyoshi is an important minister of Dongying. Yagyuu Ryūnosuke is the Black Dragon Guardian under Amaterasu God. The two of them have nothing to do with each other. Why are they involved?" Bamu Changqing asked. "Isn't it too much of a fuss for Ise Grand Shrine to send out a god to protect a mere mortal?"
Dongying had been at war since ancient times. Killings had been going on for years. Today, one family was the king, and tomorrow, another family was the king. After one finished singing, another family would appear. There were frequent changes in political power and countless referees. Ise Grand Shrine had never intervened. This time, Matsumoto Takeyoshi hadn't started a rebellion. Why did Ise Grand Shrine suddenly act? And they directly sent out a god like Yagyuu Ryūnosuke, the reincarnation of the Black Dragon!
Bamu Changqing couldn't understand.
"If Matsumoto Takeyoshi is just a mere mortal, Ise Grand Shrine wouldn't have to go through so much trouble," Kamehameha said meaningfully.
"What do you mean by that, Mr. Kizuru?" Yagi Zhangqing could tell that there was a deeper meaning in Kizuru's words.
"Let me ask you, why did Matsumoto Takeyoshi come all the way to the Great Ming Dynasty?" Kamehameha asked Bamu Changqing.
"Do you even need to ask? Of course, it's for the Nine Cauldrons," Bamu Changqing answered without thinking.
"Why is he looking for the Nine Cauldrons?" Kamehameha continued to ask.
"Whoever obtains the Nine Cauldrons will obtain the world," Bamu Changqing answered. "Matsumoto Takeyoshi wants to obtain the world of the Great Ming Dynasty. Of course, he has to find the Nine Cauldrons."
"Oh? Is that so? "Kamehameha smiled mysteriously and asked as he lowered his head to poke the fire.
"What? Is it not so? "Bamu Changqing asked.
"If Matsumoto Takeyoshi only wanted to obtain the world of the Great Ming Dynasty, the Great Ming Dynasty would have already fallen into his hands countless times. Why would he wait until now?" Kamehameha raised his gaze and continued, "First, his only son, Taro Matsumoto, is the Great General of the Great Ming Dynasty. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and nearly half of the ministers in the court are his people. Second, Matsumoto Takeyoshi's shadow troops are spread all over the Great Ming Dynasty. They are all elites from all walks of life. As long as Matsumoto Takeyoshi wants to, he can completely shake the economic lifeline of the Great Ming Dynasty in a very short time. Third, he has at least 50,000 ninja elites in his hands, as well as the top-notch Black Feather Troop. As the leader of a ninja sect, you should know better than anyone how strong they are. Matsumoto Takeyoshi has everything. As long as he wants to, the world of the Great Ming Dynasty will fall into his hands in less than a month. There is no need for him to find the Nine Cauldrons! "
When Kamehameha said this, Bamu Changqing immediately frowned and his eyes narrowed.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi is not looking for the Nine Cauldrons to seize the world of the Great Ming Dynasty!
Then what is it for?!
"The person who obtains the Nine Cauldrons can indeed obtain the world, but the person who is looking for the Nine Cauldrons is not necessarily looking for the world." Kamehameha raised his head and looked at Bamu Changqing, then turned his head to look at Ye Fan, who was resting with his eyes closed, and smiled mysteriously.
Kamehameha's action made Bamu Changqing instantly understand.
No wonder Ye Fan is also looking for the Nine Cauldrons behind Matsumoto Takeyoshi's back. It turns out that he has another purpose!
What kind of shocking secret is hidden in the Nine Cauldrons that even Matsumoto Takeyoshi and Ye Fan are looking for them?!
"What do you mean by that, Kurokaku-san?" Bamu Changqing asked.
"I can only say up to here. If I continue, my old bones will be buried early." Kamehameha said as he tore off a drumstick from the pheasant on the charcoal fire and put it in his mouth.
"Is it inconvenient for Kurokaku-san to say?" Bamu Changqing saw that Kamehameha was halfway through his words and asked with a frown.
"Have you heard of a saying in the Central Plains?" Kamehameha did not directly answer Bamu Changqing's question. Instead, he chewed on the roasted drumstick and asked.
"What saying?" Bamu Changqing asked.
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed." Kamehameha replied with a smile. "Some things can only be known by oneself and cannot be revealed to others. Otherwise, it will disturb karma."
Bamu Changqing understood and slowly nodded.
He still believed in karma.
The reason was very simple. Ye Fan lying on the side was a living example.
If there was no karma, there would not be a Demon Slaying Conference.
Because both sides of the Demon Slaying Conference had come because of the grievances from their previous lives.
At the center of the vortex of grievances was the reincarnation of Eldritch, the current Demon King, the young man lying by the fire with his eyes closed, Ye Bufan!
"So, Ise Grand Shrine acted to prevent Matsumoto Takeyoshi from finding the Nine Cauldrons?" Bamu Changqing looked at Kamehameha and asked.
"Apart from that, I can't think of any other reason," Kamehameha said.
"But ever since he fought with Brother Bufan, Yagyuu Ryūnosuke hasn't appeared again," Bamu Changqing said.
"Mr. Ye is now Matsumoto Takeyoshi's trump card. With him around, Yagyuu Ryūnosuke won't act rashly," Kamehameha said. "This is also Matsumoto Takeyoshi's intelligence."
"He's in a hurry to retrieve the Sword of Kusanagi from Japan. Could it be that he wants to deal with Yagyuu Ryūnosuke in the future?" Bamu Changqing asked with a frown.
"His purpose of retrieving the Sword of Kusanagi is indeed to deal with unexpected situations, but it's not just to deal with Yagyuu Ryūnosuke," Kamehameha said with a smile. "There's another person he needs to guard against. To him, this person is even more terrifying than Yagyuu Ryūnosuke."
"More terrifying than Yagyuu Ryūnosuke? Who is it? "Bamu Changqing asked in confusion.
Yagyuu Ryūnosuke was a god. The Black Dragon Sword in his hand was invincible. His combat power was unparalleled in the world. Who could be more powerful than him?
