Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 14 Zhou Tong Detective Series I: Death Tarot Cards (14)
This mother, Sang, knew that Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie came from China, and she became more enthusiastic. She took care of everything for them and even invited them to have dinner with her.

Under the hospitality, Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie were too embarrassed to refuse, and they also hoped to have a chance to chat with the proprietress and find out where the place "Ghost Mountain" is.

The dinner was very sumptuous. This mother Sang's cooking skills were quite good, and the dishes were also very special. Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie were indeed hungry after a long day's travel, and they both ate with gusto.

During the meal, mother Sang even chatted with Zhou Tong who can speak Japanese, most of the topics were about China, and Yan Yongjie also said a few words, Zhou Tong was very busy, and after a while It was a bit embarrassing to translate Japanese into Chinese, and then translate Chinese into Japanese after a while, and he still had to eat with that mouth.

Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie knew through chatting that this mother Sang lost her husband in her early years, and now her two children have gone to Tokyo, leaving her here alone, bored, so she opened a family hotel.

"Ma'am, you named this place 'House of Ninja'. Could it be that ninjas often visit here?" Yan Yongjie asked.

After listening to Zhou Tong's translation, mother Sang blushed immediately, and quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, because most of the tourists who come here are people who are very interested in ninjas, so I use this name for Get guests."

"Madam, are there any ninjas in Yihe?" Zhou Tong asked impatiently without waiting for Yan Yongjie to say.

Mother-san laughed again, and said, "I'm a country woman, how could I know, but I think ninjas are probably already legendary stories. You can go to the Iga-ryu Ninja Museum to have a look!"

Zhou Tong couldn't help being a little disappointed when she heard her say that, but he still had a glimmer of hope and continued to ask: "Then do you know the place 'Ghost Mountain'?"

Mama-san, who was joking at first, suddenly turned pale when she heard the word "ghost mountain".

"How do you know about 'Ghost Mountain'?" Mama Sang asked in a low voice as much as possible.

Zhou Tong was a little surprised by the mother-sang's reaction, but still suppressed the doubts in her heart, and replied, "I accidentally heard someone mention that there are real ninjas living there."

"Whether there are ninjas, I don't know, but it is definitely a terrible place!" Mama-san's expression when she spoke, as if there were really evil spirits there.

Yan Yongjie saw her mother Sang's strange behavior, and cast a puzzled look at Zhou Tong, so Zhou Tong told her the conversation just now.

"What's so scary there?" Yan Yongjie asked out of her mouth after listening.

That's exactly what Zhou Tong asked Mama Sang.

Mother Sang looked around suspiciously, as if she was afraid that someone would hide in the dark, until she confirmed that there was nothing but the two guests from afar, and then said cautiously: "'Ghost Mountain' was originally called Zhushan, but since More than ten years ago, strange things began to happen. All the people who went there to cut bamboo mysteriously disappeared and never returned. So some people said that the place was occupied by evil spirits, so we locals call it "Ghost Mountain". , Of course, some people say that there are Iga ninjas there, and those people were killed by ninjas, but no one knows whether it was evil spirits or ninjas."

"Did the police not investigate?"

"Investigated, but found nothing, it has become an unsolved case, and in the past few years, no one here has dared to go there, let alone mention such a place to outsiders." After Mama Sang finished speaking, she poured a large cup of tea drank it down.

"Madam, can you tell us how to get to 'Ghost Mountain'?" Zhou Tong asked seriously.

Mom Sang almost spit out the tea, stared at Zhou Tong with wide eyes and said, "Are you dying? You can't go to that place."

"Madam, please don't worry, we are just curious to know where is such a mysterious place?" Zhou Tong said with a smile as if he didn't care.

"'Ghost Mountain' is not far from here, follow the trail out of the village up the mountain, cross a hill covered with pines and cypresses, and then you can see the 'Ghost Mountain' full of mountains and bamboo forests, but I advise you not to go there! "Mom Sang told Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie repeatedly before letting them go back to the room.

Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie still live in the same room for safety. Although this is the case, it also makes Yan Yongjie very embarrassed. Fortunately, she does not understand Japanese. Zhou Tong's wretched expression made her a little overwhelmed.Fortunately, this mother Sang still put two tatami mats in their room, Yan Yongjie opened one of them, and then lay down with her clothes closed.

"Sister Yongjie, I'm really sorry, I've been letting you sleep with your clothes on lately." Zhou Tong said to Yan Yongjie with a smile while taking off her clothes.

"Are some bones of yours itchy again, and you want me to help you loosen them?" Yan Yongjie's pink fists made another "clack" sound.

"No!" Zhou Tong quickly turned off the light and jumped onto the tatami, which of course was his own.

The night in the mountain village was very quiet. In this small room, both Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie could hear each other's slight breathing.

The windows in the room were made of transparent glass, and the curtains were not closed. Both Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie's heads were facing the window, and they could see the beautiful moonlight outside.The moonlight also poured into the room like water, allowing them to see each other dimly.

Yan Yongjie tilted her head inadvertently, but saw Zhou Tong's gaze was on her, she immediately closed her eyes nervously, her heart beating non-stop.She had never felt this way before, but the target was a boy who was almost seven or eight years younger than herself. Panic and embarrassment rushed into her heart, and she never dared to open her eyes again.

And Zhou Tong used the moonlight to look at Yan Yongjie who was sleeping not far from him, with a white and smooth face, long eyelashes, a straight jade-like nose, ruddy lips, and a towering lips that fluctuated with breathing. Double breasts... Zhou Tong was fascinated by watching, and his body gradually became hot. He almost had the urge to rush over and hug Yan Yongjie.

Zhou Tong swallowed, tried hard to control her body, and repeated nonsense to herself in her heart: "Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong, I have lost my footing, I hate it forever, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, all evils are headed by adultery, Amitabha... ..."

Zhou Tong forced herself to look away, and looked out of the window again, not daring to look at Yan Yongjie again.At this moment, he suddenly saw a gap in the window was opened by someone, and a thin bamboo tube protruded in, and the angle of the bamboo tube was facing Yan Yongjie beside him.Zhou Tong immediately thought of a kind of ninjutsu used by ninjas that he had read in the book - "Fukiya".Zhou Tong thought of this, and immediately threw herself on Yan Yongjie's body.At this moment, there was a "swish" in the air.

Faced with Zhou Tong's sudden move, Yan Yongjie never dreamed that he would embrace her so boldly.Zhou Tong had already taken off his shirt when he was sleeping, and his fiery body hugged Yan Yongjie tightly, and a masculine aura quietly sneaked into Yan Yongjie's nose.In this short moment, Yan Yongjie was at a loss, and it took a while for her to come back to her senses.

"You...you're courting death!" After all, Yan Yongjie is a master of martial arts, and when she was conscious, even ten Zhou Tong couldn't hug him.After Yan Yongjie finished speaking, she punched Zhou Tong, and Zhou Tong fell out with a "bang".

Yan Yongjie jumped up from the tatami and turned on the light in the room. She was about to walk up to teach Zhou Tong, who didn't know how to live or die, but found that something was wrong.

Zhou Tong was lying on the ground, pale and motionless.Yan Yongjie was very aware of her strength just now, and she would never beat Zhou Tong like this.

"Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong, what's wrong with you?" Yan Yongjie hugged Zhou Tong, already regretting that she pushed him away just now.However, Zhou Tong didn't respond at all, as if he was dead.Yan Yongjie touched Zhou Tong's nose and found that he was still breathing, so she felt a little relieved.Then she immediately checked Zhou Tong's body, and finally found a small reddish pinprick on his back.

"Poisonous needle!" Yan Yongjie suddenly understood everything, Zhou Tong rushed up to hug her, blocking the fatal poisonous needle for her.

Chapter 8 "July [-]" past events

Why am I seeing this scene?Is there anything more terrifying than such a death?Even people like Takeji and Hideyoshi were too scared to speak out!What a beautiful girl, they killed her so cruelly!

Yan Yongjie didn't have time to think about it, and immediately sealed the acupuncture points around the poisonous needle with acupressure techniques, then hugged Zhou Tong tightly without hesitation, put her mouth against the needle hole on his back, and sucked the poisonous needle out desperately.Even if the current Yan Yongjie asked her to exchange her life for Zhou Tong, she would not hesitate for a moment.Because the acupoints were sealed, the speed of blood flow was slowed down, so Yan Yongjie successfully sucked out the poisonous needle and venom for Zhou Tong.

And Zhou Tong finally let out a "hum", and took his life from the gate of hell.

"Zhou Tong, are you okay? Why are you so stupid!" Yan Yongjie looked at Zhou Tong with concern, fearing that he would faint again.

"Dead...I can't die..." Zhou Tong tried hard to force a smile on his pale face.

"You really scared me to death." The tears in Yan Yongjie's eyes were about to fall, but she still tried her best to hold back.

"I finally have a chance to be a hero to save the beauty, and I still don't make good use of it." Zhou Tong said in a relaxed tone.

"You..." Yan Yongjie didn't expect that he was still joking at this time.

"It's so comfortable!" Zhou Tong looked obscene again, and sniffed Yan Yongjie fiercely.

"Little pervert!" Yan Yongjie blushed after she finished speaking, and immediately let go of Zhou Tong, but she didn't dare to use too much force. Although she let go, she gently put him on the tatami.

"You can't be so rude to the patient!" Zhou Tong protested.

"Okay, did you see someone injecting poison just now?" Yan Yongjie changed the subject and stopped messing with him.

"No, the person is under the window. I just vaguely saw a black scarf and a thin bamboo tube protruding from the window." Zhou Tong took a deep breath as he said.

"I didn't expect them to act so soon." Yan Yongjie said through gritted teeth.

"I'm just waiting for them to act!" Zhou Tong showed an inscrutable smile.

"What the hell are you planning?" Yan Yongjie asked curiously.

"It's nothing, you said if we appeared in front of them now, how would they react?"

Yan Yongjie suddenly realized when she heard it, but she immediately rejected Zhou Tong's proposal, "No, absolutely not, your poisonous injury has not fully healed, so you can't take risks!"

Seeing that Yan Yongjie was so important to him, Zhou Tong felt sweet in his heart, but he still said firmly: "This is our best chance, even if I recover from the poisonous injury, they will probably be ready, and the danger we face is even greater!"

Yan Yongjie still shook her head and disagreed, and said: "Even if I want to go, I will go, you just stay here, you can't leave even one step!"

Zhou Tong never expected that she would make such a decision, and hurriedly said: "No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone!"

Yan Yongjie patted his head, and said nonchalantly: "Take you, I'm really too dangerous!" Yan Yongjie didn't wait for Zhou Tong to speak again, she just left as soon as she opened the window, jumped out, and disappeared in the Under the moonlight.

Zhou Tong wanted to get up and chase after him, but only then did he realize that his limbs could not move at all.When Yan Yongjie left, he hadn't unlocked his acupoints yet.

Yan Yongjie followed the direction given by the proprietress' mother Sang, and rushed away like a wind and lightning.The moon appears her pale figure in the sky, and the snow, pine and cypresses, and bamboo forests are like black and white photos faintly emerging in the developing medicine solution. The colors are gradually saturated and real!And in the depths of a bamboo forest, there is a building with a sloping roof, gray-blue bricks and tiles, and a courtyard surrounded by green bamboos.

Yan Yongjie hid in the dark and observed carefully, and found that there were people hiding in the dark in every corner of this building, monitoring the surrounding movements. This formation is definitely not an ordinary residence.Yan Yongjie didn't dare to be careless, calculated the path, and carefully approached the building group under the cover of night.

It took a long time before Yan Yongjie slipped in. She clung to the wall of a house, and then began to look around.Taking advantage of a gap, Yan Yongjie flashed her figure and got into a big house in the middle of the building complex.

The house was actually empty, but it was this emptiness that made people feel even more uneasy.Yan Yongjie groped around, hoping to find some secret channels.After groping for a while, Yan Yongjie found a movable panel with a rotating shaft on the floor next to the seat. When he opened it, he found that it was full of various weapons used by ninjas.Yan Yongjie settled down in her heart, it seems that she did not find the wrong place, this is indeed the lair of the Iga ninja.Yan Yongjie continued to search, and finally found that the ceiling plank was movable above the room, and when pulled down, it turned out to be a folding staircase leading to the second floor.

Yan Yongjie climbed up the stairs lightly, pressed her body and climbed up slowly. What appeared in front of her was a long aisle, and at the end of the aisle, a voice came from a person.

"You guys are finally here!" Yan Yongjie was surprised that the speaker was speaking in Chinese.Yan Yongjie didn't expect her whereabouts to be exposed just after she came in. In desperation, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in.

Sitting in the room was an unremarkable old man. He was wearing a black ninja suit, and he was wearing cloth shoes with his thumb separated from the other four fingers.However, what surprised Yan Yongjie the most was that the old man had no eyes. Where there should have been a pair of bright eyes, there were two black holes, which made one's scalp tingle.And the sleeves of the ninja clothes turned out to be empty, with a pair of arms missing.

"Just you?" the old man asked.

"Ask knowingly!" Yan Yongjie clenched her fists, ready to strike at any time.

The old man let out a long sigh, and then said slowly: "I think you have misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding? The long knife that kills people, the poisonous needle that kills people invisible, are these misunderstandings? Who are you working for?" Yan Yongjie took a step forward every time she asked a question.

"It was Hiromitsu Kuroi who wanted to kill you, and I just took the opportunity of him to kill you to lure you here. Without my arrangement, how could you easily get Yiga in the Ueno Park match?" It is even more impossible for you to come here so smoothly." The old man completely ignored Yan Yongjie who was advancing step by step, and said calmly.

"Who is Heijing Hongguang? What are you talking about, what kind of tricks are you trying to play?" Yan Yongjie stopped, she began to believe the old man's words, and she always felt that the journey would be so smooth, it was really incredible, but she Still dare not take it lightly, still fully alert.

The old man didn't answer Yan Yongjie's question, as if he was thinking about something, or remembering something, after a long time, he said lightly: "I am An Miko's grandfather."

"You...what did you say?" Yan Yongjie suddenly saw a cherry blossom embroidered on the chest of the old man's black ninja shirt, a cherry blossom that was about to bloom, exactly the same as the cherry blossom left by An Mizi in the beauty salon cabinet.

"Amiko is an unfortunate child!" The old man couldn't help but let out another long sigh.

"Who on earth are you? How did you know about us? How did everything happen?" Yan Yongjie finally lowered her fist. She believed that the old man in front of her was not malicious, and the old man seemed to know everything, so he could answer her Many questions in mind.
