In Inoue Kyoko, Xiao Yun saw her Qi Mechanism burning like a fierce flame, boiling like water. She did not hide her powerful Qi Mechanism at all; the way it surged freely around her indicated that her internal energy had reached its boiling point.
This meant that Inoue Kyoko did not need to conceal her Qi Mechanism to increase her energy. She could utilize everything around her to destroy her opponent's life.
Xiao Yun never expected that a young woman in her thirties like Inoue Kyoko had actually reached the pinnacle level of a ninja, which was truly impressive.
How could Xiao Yun discern Inoue Kyoko's age? It was because of his Spiritual Sense.
Just as trees have rings, the thickness and luster of a person's bones can reveal their age under Xiao Yun's keen perception.
This time, coming to Yang Guifei's Tomb, it was fortunate that they took Daoxiang Zhenyuan's car; otherwise, Inoue Kyoko and Fukuda Hideo would likely have already made their move against them.
With Xiao Yun's skills, he wasn't particularly worried about dealing with these two. He could fight if he had to, or quickly retreat if he couldn't. However, the only concern he had was that Long Yan was with him.
If he got entangled with Inoue Kyoko, Fukuda Hideo would surely target Long Yan. Although Long Yan was skilled, she might not be a match for Fukuda Hideo given her current abilities.
At that point, without any means of splitting himself, if Long Yan were harmed by Fukuda Hideo, he would truly regret it for the rest of his life.
Considering the current situation, Inoue Kyoko and Fukuda Hideo were merely tracking them from the shadows and showed no intention of attacking. Xiao Yun understood clearly that they were wary of Daoxiang Zhenyuan in the car. They might not care about Daoxiang Zhenyuan as the Governor of Yamaguchi Prefecture, but they should realize that Daoxiang Zhenyuan had close ties with the current Prime Minister and extensive connections.
Otherwise, they could have blocked their car and ambushed them instead of following from a distance.
These two must be eliminated!
A thought flashed through Xiao Yun's mind.
The reason is simple: Inoue Kyoko is a top-level master of Ninjutsu. She can track someone down to the ends of the earth based on their scent; no matter where you hide, she will find a way to locate you.
That Fukuda Hideo is Miss Yukiko's fiancé, and he has a deep-seated hatred for Xiao Yun after she subdued Miss Yukiko. No matter what, he will not let Xiao Yun off the hook.
With these two entangled around her, it would be quite troublesome for Xiao Yun to seek the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror.
After all, this is in their territory; with just a word from them, a large group would come rushing in.
Xiao Yun came to Island Nation with a mission, not to engage in fights.
After this thought flashed through Xiao Yun's mind, a plan quickly formed in her chest...
...
Before long, the car arrived at the entrance of Nizun-in temple.
After parking the car, Xiao Yun and her three companions got out. Before them was an open square shaped like a rectangle.
On three sides of the square stood various classical buildings that resembled ancient Chinese architecture. On one side of the square was a more than three-meter tall white statue of a woman, which was none other than Yang Guifei. This statue was modeled after the statue of Yang Guifei located at Mawei Slope in Xingping County, Shaanxi Province.
Nizun-in enshrines two Buddhist deities: Amitabha Buddha and Shakyamuni Buddha. In Japan, these two deities are believed to protect peace and ensure abundant harvests.
There is also a source for the history of these two Buddhist statues.
It is said that after the An Shi Rebellion, Tang Minghuang sent Chen An to Japan with the Amitabha Buddha and Shakyamuni Buddha statues to search for Consort Yang's burial site. However, since Chen An could not find it, he had no choice but to leave the two statues at Seiryu-ji in Kyoto.
Later, people learned that Consort Yang was buried in Yamaguchi Prefecture, so they decided to send two statues of Buddha to Yamaguchi Prefecture. However, the people of Kyoto, Japan, were very fond of these two statues, so they later created two identical replicas. This way, both Seiryu-ji and Consort Yang's burial site had one statue each.
As a result, Consort Yang's burial site was later renamed Nizun-in.
Inside Nizun-in, there is a cemetery scattered with old tombstones, mounds, and stones, clearly indicating that it is an ancient burial ground.
According to Daoxiang Zhenyuan, these are the graves of people who drifted from the Korean Peninsula and Huaxia to Yamaguchi Prefecture in ancient times.
At the front of this cemetery stands the largest and most prominent grave, which belongs to Yang Guifei and her two maidens.
On a platform made of stacked stones, there are three granite tombstones known as the Five-Story Pagoda arranged in a triangular formation. The largest Five-Story Pagoda in the center is Yang Guifei's tombstone, while the two smaller Five-Story Pagodas on either side are for her maidens.
Looking at Consort Yang's grave, not only are there fresh flowers offered in tribute, but there are also stone-carved Buddha statues present. Overall, the entire grave appears ancient, clean, and charming: stone-carved Buddha figures, mythical beasts, and poultry are scattered across the platform.
It is unclear what day it is today, but there are quite a few men and women of all ages coming to pay their respects at Yang Guifei's Tomb.
"Yunfeng-kun, did you know that this Five-Story Pagoda is a tombstone of our ancient Japanese people? It is generally placed facing south. However, the Five-Story Pagoda at Yang Guifei's Tomb faces west because that direction points towards Huaxia. This means that even after her death, Yang Guifei can still gaze upon her homeland!" Daoxiang Zhenyuan pointed out as he continued to explain to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the An Lushan Rebellion back then, how could the illustrious Yang Guifei of the Tang Dynasty have drifted here?"
"This must be fate; in our Yamaguchi Prefecture, it is said to be Yang Guifei's second hometown!" Daoxiang Zhenyuan laughed.
He then added, "If it weren't for Yang Guifei, perhaps you and I would have never met!"
Xiao Yun also laughed and replied, "You have a point there!"
"So, all the fates in this world have already been arranged by the Heavens!" Daoxiang Zhenyuan suddenly looked up at the sky and began to express his feelings.
Long Yan and Inaka Hiraiko had been following behind them, listening to their conversation.
Xiao Yun placed the fresh flowers and offerings he had bought earlier in front of Yang Guifei's tomb.
Then, he joined his hands together, knelt down, and bowed three times towards Yang Guifei's tombstone.
He did not rise immediately; instead, he slightly closed his eyes, activated the Heavenly Spirit Essence within him, and sent out his Aura, gently rippling towards Yang Guifei's grave…
In a thicket far away from Nizun-in, Fukuda Hideo, who was lying in ambush, saw Xiao Yun kneeling there like a statue and asked Inoue Kyoko, "Master, what is that kid doing?"
Fukuda Hideo could not tell what Xiao Yun was doing, but Inoue Kyoko could see it.
Inoue Kyoko was a peak-level Ninjutsu practitioner; her keen eyes could perceive the Aura surrounding others.
She could identify a person's skill level just by observing their Aura.
"Fukuda Hideo, your skills are still too weak. You don't know what that Xiao is doing, but I can see it!" Inoue Kyoko said, her gaze fixed on Xiao Yun, her expression revealing her surprise.
