"
要解开《肾水封》，别无他法。","
只有用《经水》。","
像幻也斋这等聪明绝顶的人，在花上施了两重法术，绝不是简单的《yinshui》就可破解的。","
瓜女的手，迅速剥开杜鹃花芯。","
七蕾之中，暗藏纸片大小不一。","
她先打开一个较小的花芯。","
看见一张颇大的纸片。","
“啊！为什么？”","
是一张白纸。","
上面没有只字半语。","
天上的星星十分明亮，瓜女的眼力也不差忍者的眼力一向比老鹰还锐利。","
可是，没有半个字，只是一张空白的纸片。","
她满腹狐疑，再打开小的纸片。","
上面有一些象是字的符号。","
不，虽然看来十分单纯，却又不是文本，叫人无法破解。","
Ｘ","
Ｘ","
瓜女皱起眉头，低头沉思。","
这个文本符号她曾经见过，只是暂时想不出来。","
其他的花蕾中则空无一物。","
（我必须找其他人商量┅┅）","
瓜女机警地望着四周。","
深夜的桃配原野。阿鹤神智不清的横躺于地。","
瓜女甚至没有盖住阿鹤血污的所在，就悄悄乘着夜风而走。","
不久，在相川的野司，喷出了冲天之火箭，它的声音并不大，但是在深夜中燃起，难道是要呼唤森林的木灵吗？","
瓜女再度回到阿鹤和马匹旁边。","
她刚刚施放的火箭，为傀儡族特有的召集信号。","
她的心中始终对阿鹤存着一份好感，是故一直不断地陪伴阿鹤，除此之外，并无其他。","
倾刻间","
当瓜女拭去阿鹤下肢的污血，盖好裙裾之时，她听见风中含着特殊的声音。","
（小瓜女┅┅）","
背后的声音响起。","
是百齐之丹，他直挺挺地站在那裹。连大气都不喘一下。","
（你放火的技术，越来越高明了┅┅）","
语声未消之际。","
（什么事？瓜女，你这么紧急地召唤我辈前来？）","
川面涟漪乍开，露出一个人头。","
这就是火吹当六。","
不久蝉子喜三次、水虫五市、小蛭一个接一个出现了，来到川边上集合。","
桃配原野是个野石交错的地方，风由四面八方吹来，而人影也快速聚集。","
当然，他们都是傀儡忍者族。","
野之忍者可以以数千万种不同的面貌出现。","
而瓜女的成功，就在于她深习兵法，能得阿鹤之心的缘故。","
2眠之花已然开放了，但结果却出人意料。","
“你得手了？”","
“是的，可是徒劳无功，只是白纸一张。”","
“白纸？难道我们被骗了吗？”","
百齐之丹仔细地观查那张小纸片。","
“咦，这文本我好象见过┅┅”","
“哦？那快点解说给我们知道。”","
“哈哈哈，这个是水点火点。也许你们不太清楚┅┅这个对女忍而言就是半人份┅┅”","
“它代表何种意义呢？”","
“你们看，这就是护身符上的记号。”","
“Ｘ”，取水字的左右，是代表清净意味的符号。而“Ｘ”也是一样的，它分解火字，而“水”与“火”都有除蔽留洁的意味。","
百齐之丹一面解说着。","
“啊！经你这么一说，我就记起来了，怪不得这个符号好眼熟┅┅”","
瓜女点点头立即同意，但是","
“但是，这个水点火点又代表着何种意义呢？”","
“它是个密码字。”","
“┅┅”","
“小蛭，你将它拿去洗一洗。”","
“是的。”","
年轻的小蛭，带着它走到水边。","
浸过川水之后，火吹当六，又燃起野火。","
他将濡shi的白纸放在火上烘焙。","
立即地，白纸上浮出几个模糊的字。","
“字出来了！”","
小蛭立刻兴奋地呐喊着，毕竟他还只是个少年。","
纸上只有几个字。","
（来使已至富子）","
“难道┅┅”","
百齐之丹心中已暗暗盘算。","
“乌头变毛之宣下吗？哈哈哈┅┅”（编按。此句话是音译）小蛭与瓜女，还是无法理解其中的玄秘。","
“小花，还是由你来扮阿鹤吧！”","
百齐之丹下达命令之后，另外拿出一张白纸，写上与密书上同样的文本。","
还好密书上并没有画押或署名，要伪造它并不困难。","
“我们必须将它恢复原状！来吧！瓜女┅┅”","
“是的！”","
“就用小蛭的《肾水封》吧！”","
瓜女的脸色似乎有些晕红。","
而小蛭却是面不改色的。傀儡一族曾受过许多严格的训练，无论是任何事，都不会让他们有任何的犹豫。","
小蛭站着，瓜女则蹲在他的膝间。","
为了要封好七个花蕾，必须要取出男人的jingye。","
她的右手持着花枝，左手接触小蛭的股间。少年紧咬着牙齿，闭着眼睛。","
瓜女微闭着眼注
着少年僵硬的表情，突地她的唇边浮出一个极媚的笑容。","
她浸润如蛇的舌头，训练有素的双唇，适度给予他全新的痛楚感受。她轻咬他瓜女的牙齿仿佛在啃着一个柔软的海绵体。","
少年的血液加快速度流动着。","
熟练的舌头，温暖的唾液，使得海绵体开始积血且膨胀。","
在瞬间，这个少年变成了男人。她依然含着他。","
当然，瓜女的愉悦，只是暗潜心中而已。傀儡女忍的使命，就是要由少年内部取出对花的精水。","
甲贺忍法所谓的《肾水封》，就是需要钩幻也斋的精水，而且在水虫五市的《吹绽》及《yinshui》的解法中还不能露出破绽。","
百齐之丹不知将阿鹤藏在何处，但是他很快就回来了。","
“我让她睡了二、三天。接下来就是段钱使一行人了┅┅”","
“我想他们应该还未通关。六角的手下，应该不是泛泛之辈。”","
“也许他们趁黑摸了过去。”","
“万一，他们已经通关，那就有些麻烦，因为对我方没有什么好处┅┅干脆，让他们见面好了。”","
“是的！”","
蓦然，野草四处乱飞。","
傀儡忍众的黑衣身影，奔向西方，夜风中他们迅捷如无声的闪电。","
只有瓜女和小蛭尚留在原地。","
要将盛开的花朵，回复到原来紧密花蕾的模样，则必须用女阴。她将左手的花朵放在自己的两腿之间，再将那张伪造的密书塞入原来的花蕾中。","
最后，小蛭的精水被一层又一层地涂在花蕾上，象被一个透明的薄膜所包回。","
小蛭喷出他的生命之泉，却一言不发地，走到河边。","
也许现在的他，尚不知河水的冰凉。","
3段钱使山名大坎介一行人，自从受到火吹当六的戏耍之后，伤痕累累，拖着沉重的脚步来到野濑野原。","
“我们要如何过关呢？”","
他们交换绝望的眼光。","
可预测的，在前面把关的，是比他们强壮数倍的士兵，而使他们勇气顿失。好不容易，他们才爬过山，由茨道偷渡来此。","
美浓近江之畔，称作字名长久寺的“寝物与之里”。那是因为在国界相连之处，有许多小木屋，唯一的界限就是“一墙之隔”，所以两个国家的人民，甚至可以在睡梦中隔着墙壁交谈，因而得名。此外另有一名为长竞。","
“长竞”之意，就是左右相对两国隔着美浓近江之山，而展开长期的竞争。","
现在这座山已然溶入夜色中，远远望去糊难辨。段钱使一行人正无计可施。","
“要怎么办呢？我们现在无法进入美浓，连那两个弱女子都进去了；话要张扬出去，我们不成为别人的笑柄”","
“我们越过美浓山好吗？”","
一行人由左边的道路行来，位处于野濑野原的正中央，虽有高达丈馀的丛草蔽路，但是道路仍依稀可认。","
他们大概行了十町之遥，看见前面火光闪耀。","
路中有一个赤土的洼地，围着许多火把，人影幢幢。","
“各位要小心一点”","
大坎介一双精亮的眼睛越过草丛看去。","
“没什么大不了的事情，都是女人。”","
五兵卫悄语道。","
确实都是女子。但是年龄上却差异很大，有从十六、七岁，到古稀之年的老媪。是一个杂乱的群体，但是每个人却有一个共通点。","
“她们都是盲人”","
老媪仿佛在反应大坎介的惊讶，翻着一对白浊的眼珠。","
“她们在干什么？”","
“是流浪人┅┅”","
“我想她们都是身怀绝技的高手。”","
“你如何知晓？”","
“哈哈哈，这还不简单，你听她们的声音多么有力┅┅一定是个中高手；这些卑劣的瞽女┅┅”","
“是瞽女？”","
远处传来古琵琶和破鼓相和之声。","
“到底，她们想干什么呢？”","
五兵卫心怀着疑问，正默默思量着，是否能藉着这批盲女来蒙混过关。","
夜风中，瞽女们听见他们的低语，竟意外地回答他。","
“我们在挖洞！”","
“洞？┅┅”","
段钱使们终于露出行藏。","
在通明的火把中央，确实有一个非常深的洞穴，约有五尺之深。","
共有八个洞穴。","
“你们为什么要在此地辛苦地挖洞穴呢？”","
“因为要作坟墓！”","
“哦，是墓穴┅┅死了同伴吗？”","
“不，是为我自己做的。”","
“┅┅”","
“我实在已经厌倦了四处为家，弹琵琶卖艺，向人乞讨的生涯，决心一死了此残生。”","
原来如此，对了。在场总共有八名瞽女。","
“如果各位大人心存善念，那么待会儿就为我们合土埋葬吧！”","
“拜托了┅┅”瞽女们一起悲歌唱合。","
“我们┅┅如何答应这种事呢？”","
“哈哈哈，大人们不要发愁，让我们来唱唱曲歌给你们解解闷！”","
年轻的瞽女说完，便将鼓负在肩上，用力拍击起来。"
