Forty-fourth strike: Time of Iwakasa
"That's the way it is. Sanuki Sakumaro explained to the man in front of him, and pushed a black medicine pot in front of a man in light clothes, "Can I ask you, this thing must be destroyed." ”
"Do you really want to do this, this is what your daughter Kaguya left for you. The man shook his head, looked at the black medicine pot and muttered, "To make people immortal and live in eternity, this is something that can only be imagined in dreams." ”
"That's why it has to be destroyed, or it's going to be a disaster. Sanuki Sakumaro said with certainty, staring at the man in front of him with sharp eyes, "Can the old man believe you, Iwagasa." ”
The man, that is, Iwakasa, smiled lightly and said chicly: "Of course, I am not interested in the so-called immortality, so you can leave it to me with confidence." ”
"Then come on, the old man is already in a position to walk up the volcano. Sanuki Sakumaro boasted, placing the medicine pot in Iwakasa's hand, "Be careful, it's a very dangerous journey." ”
"No problem, I'll be completely prepared. Iwagasa confidently took the pot.
"Hmm..."Sanuki Zomaro's unfinished words were interrupted by the sound of a sudden introgress.
"Old man Sanuki~ I brought Isara to see you. The girl snapped open the bamboo door, followed by Isara, who had been inseparable like a ghost, attracting the attention of the two.
"Ah, Saga, you're here. Sanuki Samaro smiled helplessly, beckoned to the girl, and said, "Come on, I'll introduce you two to this person." ”
"Huh?" the girl noticed the young man sitting there, "is he?"
Iwagasa smiled and took Sanuki Zomaro's words and introduced himself, "I'll introduce it myself." ”
"My name is Iwakasa, and I'm a samurai who doesn't have a good reputation, and I work as an ambassador to the court. ”
"Don't look at the way he grins, but he's very reliable. Sanuki Zomaro patted Iwakasa on the shoulder and said, "So the old man is going to let him go and throw that Penglai medicine into the volcano and destroy it." ”
"Eh, is there anything I can do to help. The girl pointed to herself.
"No, I won't bother you. Sanuki Sakumaro sighed, "You have done enough for the old man's family, and it is so much that the old man can't afford to repay it, this kindness ......"
"Well, there's no way I'm going to ask a little girl for help!" Iwagasa said confidently, "I'll go gather people... Of course, I don't tell them the real purpose, I believe that it is just a matter of destroying an object, and nothing will go wrong. ”
"It's better not to be too optimistic. The girl raised an eyebrow.
……
Iwakasa gathered a group of people and set out on a journey to Mt. Fuji.
Iwakasa is a frequent traveler, so he has a lot of experience in the wild, so even Mt. Fuji can't stop him, and he is able to use everything he sees to solve the problems of nature.
"But I really didn't expect that someone from the Fujiwara family would appear here. ”
In the middle of the forest, Iwakasa said to Fujiwara Mei behind him.
“…… It's something that can't be helped. Fujiwara Meihong said lightly.
After the death of Fujiwara Bubi, the entire Fujiwara family was on the verge of collapse, and Fujiwara Meihong, who was not accepted by her brothers and sisters, could only be self-reliant. And the task reward given by Iwakasa is quite considerable, and Meihong, who has learned some swordsmanship, naturally appeared here.
"Well, it'll be over in two or three days anyway. Iwakasa looked around at some of the samurai and said, "Please keep up with me." ”
"Oh, don't worry, Iwakasa, we'll escort you safely to your destination. The samurai coaxed.
……
I came across a place where I needed to climb mountains and mountains.
"There are wild beavers here, and this animal generally lives in places where it is easier to move. Iwakasa searched the grass around him, and finally found a path that people could pass through, "Look, I found it, this place can quickly lead to the top of the mountain." ”
"Oh, that's reliable, Iwakasa. ”
……
Hit a place where you need to go through a crack.
"yes, that's it, cut down that tree so you can get through here. Iwakasa said with only one tree that had little life, which could be cut down quickly and built into a single-plank bridge.
……
When there is no food.
"Where there are such bugs, there are often large numbers of edible fungi. Iwagasa slapped an unknown insect that jumped in front of his eyes, "Of course, this little guy can eat it, look at how happy he dances." ”
“…… Let's eat mushrooms. ”
"It's a shame. As long as the head is removed, the rest of the parts can be eaten. Iwakasa plucked the worm's head off and swallowed it in one gulp, saying something in his mouth, "Chicken tastes, crunchy, and he's six times as much protein as beef." ”
In short, there are some professional terms that samurai and sister red don't understand......
……
"Yikes. As soon as I didn't pay attention, my sister's red leg hit something, and I couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
"What's wrong, are you hurt?" Hearing Mei Hong's voice, Iwagasa immediately walked over and said with concern.
"No, nothing...... It's just that my leg hurts a little. Mei Hong shook her head and said.
"It's not a trivial matter. Iwagasa sat down on the ground and said seriously, "In the wilderness, maybe just a small thing that you don't care about can kill you, so you can't let go of your vigilance for a moment." ”
"Uh, yes, is that so?" Mei Hong couldn't help frowning when she saw the serious look of this Iwakasa, "But I don't think it really matters." ”
"Anyway, it's good to be careful. Iwagasa stared at the wound on her sister's red leg, looked around, and said, "There you have it." Please come over Miss Fujiwara, I found a good thing. ”
Mei Hong looked suspiciously at Iwakasa, who was waving to her.
Iwakasa ran to the grass in the distance, picked a purple flower, put it in Meihong's palm, and said, "This kind of purple orchid phoenix (virtual plant) can effectively treat bruises and other diseases, come, chew it and apply it to the injured area." ”
"......" Mei Hong fell into silence.
Seeing that Mei Hong suddenly stopped moving, Iwagasa wondered, "What's wrong, Miss Fujiwara, is there anything wrong?"
"No, I just think Iwagasa-san knows a lot. Mei Hong shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"After all, I've seen a lot. Iwagasa patted Meihong on the shoulder and said, "So naturally I learned a lot of things." ”
"By the way, what is it that we're going to throw into the volcano?" asked Mei Hong, looking at Iwakasa.
"Well, I can't tell Miss Meihong about this. Iwagasa patted his head and said apologetically, "I've been entrusted by someone, but this is a very dangerous item, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a curse, so please don't ask Miss Fujiwara again, huh?"
“…… I understand. Mei Hong nodded.
"Then hurry up and apply Zi Lanfeng to the wound. Iwagasa said, "We're going to set off again." ”
PS: For me, today was like a carnival!
But I'm still a great death......
