Mt. Fuharu is the largest mountain in Kyoto, and it is rumored that the gods live on this mountain. If human beings respect the gods, the gods will bless them and bring blessings, and if they despise them, the gods will bring heavenly damnation to the place. Since the great war between man and demon a hundred years ago, people have been very respectful of the gods, and it is the help of the gods that mankind has won the final victory. But the gods will not help humans in vain, human beings have to prepare sacrifices to the gods every year, a total of eighty-one children, sent to the cave of the gods on the top of Fuchun Mountain, the gods will bless humans after receiving the sacrifices. At this time, there are always people who are happy and some who are sad. Happily there is a manifestation of the gods, where the wind and rain are good, the land is fertile, and when they are sad, no one knows that their child will be the next sacrifice. There was a time when people were reluctant to have children, for fear that their children would be chosen as sacrifices, and the daimyo royal family would move out and issue a decree that if they did not marry and have children at the right age, they would face prison or even be thrown into the sea. And there are gods in the sea, and the people of Lai Kingdom believe that under the deep water of the mist, there must be the shadow of the gods. Many people had seen the gods in the fog, but when they came back, they were mad, saying that they were sea ghosts, as terrible as monsters. Therefore, the royal family also used the same method, offering a certain number of women to the sea ghosts in the sea every year. At that time, the person in charge of this was Yanagi Shibei's grandfather, Yanagi Maku. Yanagi took a ship with forty-nine women on board, and after entering the fog, he stayed in it for a day and a night. Later, he managed to come back, and he was the only one left on the ship. When Yanagi Maku returned, he told the daimyo that he had made a pact with the gods of the water, that as long as they contributed the same number of women each year, they would no longer plunder the shores of Raikoku, and that a safe land and sea had been opened in the mist, and that as long as we followed the prescribed sea line, they would not attack us. This is also why Yagyu Juro can lead Yan Toru safely through the Sea of Mists alone, a route that only the Yagyu family and daimyo know. Ordinary people only know that they can go out to sea to fish safely, and the fish and shrimp are fat, and they no longer go to sea for nothing as in the past. But how much people can laugh at when they think about the true cost.

The mountain road to Fuchun Mountain has been lit with lanterns, and the whole road is lit up, just waiting for the night to fall and light up the mountain. All the people of Kyoto were crowded at the foot of the mountain, hoping to go into the mountain and see the gods, but there were not enough people on the top of the mountain, and the common people did not have the opportunity to stay with the daimyo. With the daimyo, Rehmannia Pill had already reached the top of the mountain early. There were 9,999 steps to the top of the mountain, and this number was set because the daimyo at that time was called Banzai, and he did not want the number of steps to exceed his age. It's really boring to think about it, how can human beings live to live to long live, and even put their vanity on natural things, to compare the steps of a mountain. Naturally, the daimyo did not walk on his own, and there were eight slaves in total, who took turns carrying the daimyo on his back, and when one of the slaves completed his own part of the road, he would be killed. Because their lowly bodies touched the Holy Man, they had to die to atone for their sins. This kind of high-sounding words can only be done in this completely feudal country, and the slaves who accompanied them up the steps knew that death awaited them, but they did not choose to escape, perhaps because there was no place to escape. Outside the earth is the sea, but the vast sea belongs to the daimyo alone, and whoever enters it will be punished.

On the way to Qujiang, Otome runs frantically, trying to catch up with her two older brothers. As the sky gets darker, it's harder to dodge the hidden traps in the dark. Yagyu and Koga have always had a relationship, and this is also a special act of the daimyo, in order to maintain the balance of power, so although the two families have been fighting openly and secretly, this situation has never occurred. Not only would the daimyo not allow a one-sided situation of power, but with the strength of the Yanagi family, he would not be defeated by the ninja so easily. Now that the Koga faction suddenly pulled out the blade that had been stored for a long time, it showed that the other party had found the key to be able to fight to the death and be able to win. So what's the key? Could it be Juro Yagyu?

After running for a while, Yanagiotome saw two dead horses on the side of the road, and those two horses belonged to her two older brothers. There are still traces of fighting around, and it is clear that there was a fight here. She used the samurai's unique perception to search the location of the two brothers nearby, and after some searching, she finally found one of them, but her breath was already very weak, and the other person could not be found, and it was very difficult to be killed. Otome immediately ran in the direction she sensed, but when she arrived at the location, she found no trace of her two brothers, and when she looked closely, there seemed to be a human head on the ground, and she was terrified, until the human head on the ground was still wheezing, she came to her senses and ran over to check.

In the field was Yanagi Jiro, whose body had been buried in the ground, with only one head exposed to the ground. Jiro looked at Otome and said very weakly, "Let's go!"

At this time, a hand suddenly stretched out from the ground behind Otome to grab her leg, and Otome reacted and immediately jumped to the side. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she didn't expect the enemy to stay underground. The man hiding underground also climbed up from the ground, dressed in an orange ninja suit.

"Run fast, your reflexes are faster than the two of you. But it's futile for you to struggle so much, and the person above your head is the end. The orange-clothed ninja pointed to Otome's head and said. At this time, Otome looked up and found that in the midst of the huge trees, Saemon was caught in the middle of the tree, and his body was completely wrapped in the trees, revealing only one head.

Another ninja stepped out from behind the orange-clothed ninja, and his clothes were green.

"You two, are you the Koga faction's Midoriya Yogi and the Orange Earth Nikaido, why are the Koga factions dealing with us?"

"You don't have the right to ask, on the contrary, I want to ask you, according to the news from the blue and purple three shinobi, there should be four of you coming, why are there only three of you?"

"Your plot has been discovered by the eldest brother, and he is now rushing back to Kyoto to report to his father and the daimyo that you murdered the samurai of the shogun's mansion, and the Koga faction will definitely be eliminated. ”

"Yes, I'm afraid that after Yanagi Taro goes back, he won't be able to see either Yagyu Shibei or the Daimyo. ”

"What do you mean by that? Do you even want a great name...... This is treason!"

"It will be you who will be the traitor, and all the charges will fall on the head of the Yagyu family, because history will record that Yagyu Jubei and the traitor Yanagi Juro assassinated the Daimyo, and was finally wiped out by the Koga faction, and the daimyo gave up the throne to the Koga faction. When the time comes, who cares about the life and death of a few traitors?"

"Damn, I want to avenge my brothers!"

Otome fights two ninjas with her famous sword, Fukiyuki, but both ninjas are equipped with magical powers, and Orange Earth can escape into the land and pull people underground. Otome couldn't do anything about it, she split the land with a sword, but she couldn't cut the other party. She also has to be vigilant at all times, the other party will appear from under her feet at any time, and once she is pulled into the ground, she will end up with the same fate as Jiro. Midoriya can control the growth of trees, and in this dense forest, all trees will become his weapons, and there will be elongated branches and vines to entangle her, which is too bad for her in such a belly-backed environment. Jiro, whose body was buried in the ground, still breathed, and as he saw his sister in trouble, he shouted with his last strength, "Go! Go back and inform your father so that he will not be framed!"

Otome also understands that she is not the opponent of the other party at this moment, and the top priority is to go back to her father immediately. She began to flee in the direction of Kyoto, surrounded by trees that were constantly attacking her, and she used her sword technique to freeze the water vapor in the air, ejecting the frozen water vapor and breaking through the obstacles in her way. Otome overcame all the way and was about to leave the woods. Orange Earth appeared next to Midoriya and said, "You're not going to let her run away, are you?"

Midoriya confidently replied, "No one can run out of my field." Midoriya clasped his hands together, and suddenly the trees began to shake, and in front of Otome, a row of towering trees grew, plunging straight into the gray sky. She slashed at the trees with blowing snow, but there was only a hole in the trees, and soon new trees reinforced the wooden walls. She couldn't get out of here.

Orange Soil and Midoriya came out of the dirt behind Otome, and Otome quickly turned around to face them, and at this moment she was very frightened, feeling that her life would soon be gone. Her hand holding the sword began to tremble, she never thought that the children of a general would fall to such a point today. Just as the two ninjas were about to make a move on Otome, a man suddenly fell from the sky and landed in the middle of the three.

The person who fell was a shark and broke the evil spirit. He sensed the battle taking place here, and came out of the city to check. He looked at each other at two waves of people, a woman with a sword, and two ninjas in ninja suits, those two people should be the people Yan Che mentioned about sneaking up on Fu Qinggu who was abducted. He saw the posture of the three people, and saw that the three people were not a group of people, and the two ninjas wanted to kill the woman. He asked the two ninjas, "You are the one who kidnapped my young grandmother, right?"

"Is it a demon? According to Yanagi, he should be one of the two demons, and since he is here, he will kill them together. ”

Shark Po Xie stretched out his palm and put it next to his ear, as if he didn't hear clearly, and said, "What were you talking about just now?" Do you know what you did made the young master very angry. ”

"yes, that's really sorry, and for the sake of apologies, let's kill you politely. ”

At that moment, the orange earth disappeared into the ground and disappeared from view. Otome behind Shark Breaker reminded him, "Be careful, that orange ninja will be able to escape from the earth." He crawled out of half of his body, took out his short knife, and wanted to attack Shark Breaker from behind, but when he said "It's over", he suddenly couldn't move.

"What's wrong Orange Earth?" asked Midoriya, who was in the distance and didn't know the truth, as he watched his companion remain motionless. Orange Soil nervously fiddles with the soil next to him and finds that there is a lot of water in the soil.

At this time, the shark turned around: "My body can leave a lot of water, and this water is not ordinary water, it is the stagnant water of the demon world, and the gravitational force is very strong. Of course you're going to listen to me in my realm. Orange Earth's body began to slowly sink, and he cried out in pain for his companions to save him. Midoriya immediately urges the trees, trying to use them to save his teammates and attack the shark at the same time. However, when he first cast the spell, branches and vines grew from his body, and the branches that grew wildly wrapped around him, making him cocoon and bound himself. Green Valley, who was entangled all over his body, looked confused, and he didn't know how his spell could be used on him, and the shark broke the evil for him to explain the reason.

"Actually, I've observed the spells of both of you in the shadows, and I've found your weaknesses. You can only control the growth of the plant, but you can't control the consciousness of the plant, and you can't make the plant change back to its original form. Before I hit the ground, I threw a few seeds on you, which were given to me by two girls from the Flower Clan. Dare to take it out and pretend with only a little fur. "Shark Breaker prepares to grab the trapped Midorigai, but when he enters, he finds that the tree branches are tangled in a dummy. Looking back, I found that Orange Soil, which was trapped in the field, had also turned into a dummy. The shark was vigilant and couldn't find them, and the ninja's voice came from the woods: "People from the outer sea, spare your lives today, anyway, this place will soon be our world, and there will be thousands of people to deal with you at that time." ”

Shark Breaker could only go to Yagyu Otome, who was exhausted, she looked at Shark Breaker and said, "I don't know much, but I can tell you all." ”

In the evening, Mt. Fuharu is lit up, and those who can't make it up hold parties on the market streets, and fireworks are set off in the sky above Kyoto's Imperial Castle. And at this time, on the first floor of the castle tower, Zhao Yige was still fighting to the death with a person.

Zhao Yige had been fighting with the wall pillar for an hour, his physical strength was no longer able to support it, plus the medicinal properties of the poison had not yet passed, he looked at the wall pillar's powerful body, no matter how he attacked, the wall pillar was unharmed.

"Don't bother, Alien, my body is as solid as a rock, and your sword can't hurt me at all. ”

"Yes," Zhao Yige felt a little happy in his heart after hearing the other party's answer, "You may not have heard that in our country there is a hero named Cutting Iron, who can cut everything in the world." You're just as hard as a rock, and if I can use my strength, I'll be able to cut you off!"

At the top of Fuchun Mountain, many people have gathered. Eighty-one boys and girls had been arranged in front of the cave of the gods, and every child was crying. The daimyo was upset when he heard these cries, and ordered his subordinates to go and tell the children not to cry. As a result, the subordinates in the past slapped the distressed children a little, and they cried even more. At this moment, a woman ran out of the crowd, she was the mother of one of the children. She rushes out of the crowd and asks for forgiveness from the Daimyo, hoping that she will spare her child and is willing to use herself as a sacrifice in place of the child.

"You woman has a treasonous heart! It is an infinite glory to be offered to the gods as a sacrifice, and instead of being proud of it, you have destroyed the sacred ritual. Do you know how the prosperity and stability of the country of Lai came about over the past 100 years? It was given to us by the gods, and if you destroy the festival in this way, you will be hostile to the future of all the people of the country. ”

It is at this time that people's hearts embody the most selfish moments of people. Those who gathered around the woman, instead of sympathizing with her, counted her down, saying that she had disobeyed the will of the gods and that the people of Lai would fall into famine and poverty, and did not understand what it was like to be a woman and a mother. The woman was so helpless on the ground, she was looked down upon by everyone, and she was just a mother who wanted her children to live, and she couldn't understand why the gods blessed mankind and wanted to sacrifice it, and why there were children of her own in the sacrifice. Standing next to the altar of the festival was Fu Qinggu, who was really angry at that moment.

"Are you still human beings? Do you deserve to enjoy the peace and happiness that you have to sacrifice for your own selfish desires and for the interests of the majority? Why do you want to rely on a god who is not of the same race as you, and you have no hands of your own, and you will not open up the future by yourself? Man's destiny is in his own hands to be called a man!"

After Fu Qinggu finished speaking, there was silence below, and then there was a lot of voices, all of which were scolding her.

"Why do you say that you people from the seas are talking about us!"

"The gods are the most honorable, and of course we can't resist them!"

"Without the protection of the gods, evil seafarers like you will attack our kingdom!"

Listening to these indescribable words spoken by these hopeless people, Fu Qinggu also despaired. The people of this country are stupid believers who believe not in their own efforts, but in the wrong faith with their souls. She looked at the starless sky in despair, and shouted, "Yan Che! where are you bastards! Wake up all the guys here!" At that moment, the magic ring in Fu Qinggu's hand emitted a bright light, and Yan Che in the distance sensed the location of the magic ring, and he immediately rushed to the top of Fuchun Mountain. The Rehmannia Pill beside Fu Qinggu was shocked, it turned out that the ring in the woman's hand had special abilities, and he accidentally failed to notice it. Just as he was about to go up and take away the magic ring, the machine spirit Ah Zi immediately conjured a barrier to protect Fu Qinggu.

Yan Che in the flight was about to fly to the top of the mountain, and suddenly a person jumped out of the crowd halfway and pulled out his knife to stop Yan Che. Yan Che didn't care who the other party was, he just wanted to hurry to Fu Qinggu's side in his heart, and said angrily: "No matter who it is, hurry up and walk away for me!"

The person who drew the sword was old and vicissitudes, but his demeanor was firm and powerful, he held the long sword in his hand, and said to Yan Che: "Under is the Daimyo Imperial General Yanagi Shibei, with me you don't want to go in, Demon!"
